Halting the Christian Holocaust that Obama Ignores

Robert Knight | Jan 05, 2016

When is genocide not genocide? Answer: when it’s committed against Christians. That’s the current de facto policy of the Obama Administration, which is clearing the way to admit thousands more Syrian Muslim refugees to the United States while blocking Christians. The disparity exists because Syria is a nation state whose government is abusing its own people, a situation that qualifies the victims for persecution status under U.S. law. Meanwhile, the Islamic State (ISIS) has conquered large portions of Syria and Iraq. Although it is operating like a government, it’s not an officially recognized state. Christians who are crucified, tortured, raped, enslaved and suffer wholesale destruction of their communities by the Islamic State apparently don’t qualify for asylum. To rectify this horrific disparity, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, California Republican, is sponsoring “The Save Christians from Genocide Act” (HR 4017). Introduced on Nov. 5, the bill was assigned in early December to the House Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security. It calls for designating Christians and Yazidis as targets of genocide and would therefore give them heightened refugee status. It also says, “ISIS and its leaders should be charged with genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.” etc. and the news story continues..

Deadly U.S. Hypocrisy Exposed as World’s Biggest Arms Dealer Moves to Limit America’s Access to Guns

By Jay Syrmopoulos on January 5, 201

Washington, D.C. – On Tuesday, President Obama announced that he’ll bypass Congress, by executive action, in an effort force more gun sellers to get licensed federally and to increase the amount of buyers required to undergo background checks. While the federal government attempts to limit Americans’ access to guns, the American arms industry has had no such impediments placed in its way as it sells deadly arms to tyrannical regimes and terrorist groups across the globe. Just 5 years ago, the Obama administration secured the largest arms sale in the history of the world when he sold $60 billion in weapons to a country who beheads more people than ISIS, Saudi Arabia. The American defense industry is the undisputed champion of the global arms market, as the U.S. exported over $36.2 billion in weaponry in 2014, accounting for over 60 percent of the total arms sold worldwide, according to a report by the Congressional Research Service. etc. and the news story continues..

Army Chief: "Society on verge of collapse; citizens must arm themselves for protection"

Post by U.S.Reporter - Jan 05, 2016

Society in western Europe is on the verge of breaking down amid chaotic violence caused by economic dislocation, mass immigration and terrorism. This is not the view of some ‘crazy survivalist’ but of the head of the Swiss Armed Forces. Lieutenant-General André Blattmann has issued a warning to the Swiss people that society is dangerously close to collapse and advised those not already armed as part of the Swiss Army reserve to take steps to arm themselves. Blattmann has been head of the Armed Forces since, 1 March 2009 and his words carry very significant weight in a country in which several Citizens’ Initiative referenda against burqas and mosques have proven enormously popular as concerns grow about immigration and Islamisation. etc. and the news story continues..

The Reckoning Has Begun - Last Days, World On The Edge Of Extinction

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

In the latest, very disturbing short film by Truth Shock TV we see why so many believe we are living in the last days and why it is thought that soon the antichrist will manifest. Interpersed with relevant scripture, a compilation of what is seen happening throughout the world from satanic statues being unveiled publicly to examples of God and religion being mocked, those of faith ridiculed as Christians, including children, across the globe are slaughtered and persecuted, we see example after example of a nation, of a world on the edge of extinction as God is forsaken by so many. At the 49 second mark the text states "The planet is going through severe and unprecedented changes - Earthquakes, hurricanes, wildfires, volcanic activity, terrorism, mass shootings, hundreds of global mass animal deaths, a huge increase in public satanism with antichrist propaganda flooding both mainstream media and the masses, moral decline, end time apostasy and the rise of the carnal new world order, where everyone must get chipped, show allegiance to the beast or be killed..... Welcome to this world." By the three minute mark the footage, a mixture of heartbreaking images, signs of the times, horrible destruction and blatant satanic behavior begins, some so hard to watch that many may wish to turn away, but as Truth Shock TV states within the video "Evil is more accurately measured not by what is seen, but by what is unseen." If we don't bear witness to these atrocities, to these signs, how are we to know how late the hour truly is?

Isaiah 5:20 "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"

Ephesians 6:12 - "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." After watching this in its entirety, many will understand the judgment, the reckoning.... has begun.

Loss of Control …A Very Interesting Finish/Start! Posted January 5th, 2016 at 4:15 AM (CST) by Bill Holter & filed under Bill Holter. Dear CIGAs, 2015 was a very interesting year in its own right, the way it finished was even more interesting. As the year progressed we saw global trade, GDP and earnings weaken significantly. We saw unprecedented rhetoric geopolitically while central banks and sovereign treasuries became suspect from both credibility and in some cases solvency points of view. As the world turns on credit and credit alone, it would be a good exercise to make this the focal point. We know the Fed “mandated” higher rates just a couple of weeks before Christmas. I use the word “mandated” because it looks like they have raised rates but done nothing as far as withdrawing collateral and actually tightening credit conditions. We saw no evidence of any tightening through year end. Then the unbelievable happened, overnight rates collapsed to .12 basis points on Dec. 31. Specifically I believe it is important to look at what happened in the U.S. credit markets on the final day of the year because it exposes two important areas. Rates collapsed well below the recently announced new range and the Fed had a record overnight auction. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-12-31/yellen-you-have-problem-rate-hike-corridor-just-broke 

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/-475-billion-year-end-fed-auction-suggests-more-problems-in-credit–mutual-funds-023901085.html#  As a kicker, money market rates spiked. Why is any of this important? First, it shows the Fed is not in the complete lockdown and control of markets but more importantly it shows how far financial institutions have gone to “portray” solvency. You see, they take a “snapshot” picture of their balance sheet at year end. The huge movements of capital and rates were these institutions getting the “bad stuff” off of their books in preparation for the public picture! Suffice it to say, the movements were quite obvious to all, internally and internationally everyone saw this and they “know”. Shifting gears to the beginning of the year’s trading, “Happy New Year”! Over the weekend, Saudi Arabia and Iran held their version of a “beheadarama” tit for tat which ended in the Saudi embassy in Tehran burned to the ground and the Saudis then breaking diplomatic ties. This all occurred with the Saudis saying “we don’t care what the White House thinks of our actions”. Can anyone say bye bye petrodollar? In case you missed the obvious here, this is further evidence of a loss of control by Washington. As the markets opened around the world, China took the lead and dropped 7% to trip their circuit breakers to close their markets for the day. Interestingly the bozos on CNBC are saying “7% isn’t that much, China will probably change their rules and become closer to U.S. circuit breakers of 20%” … Really? Does anyone believe our markets would even open on day two after a 20% drop? Many readers were either too young or were not paying attention in 1987. The market crashed on a Monday but it was Tuesday that was the scariest day. It was the purchase of illiquid Value Line futures with something like $6 million that turned the markets when everything else was frozen. It was this event which created the plunge protection team and the belief in the “Fed put”. The problem is this, we became so addicted to “help” on a 24/7 basis since 2008 and “risk” now has less than zero premium in it. We wake up ever single day to “it can never happen again, the government will not allow it”. I ask you this, what will happen to markets when it is perceived the Fed/Treasury/U.S. is NOT IN CONTROL? Please do not tell me this can never happen because we just had a “three fer” in this category. Money and credit went out of control Dec. 31st, geopolitics went out of control over the weekend and now the markets opened worse than any year since 1932! I believe this “loss of control” began in late August last year and we have seen tremors on and off ever since. The complete loss of control is certainly and mathematically coming. I can say this with confidence because we are living in a larger experiment than ever before in history. We have lived through credit bubbles before, we know they have always burst and caused economic and financial ruin. To think “this time will be different” is the height of idiocy. The only “difference” will be the scope and magnitude of how bad the collapse will be. Previous credit bubbles never included the issuer and finances of the world’s reserve currency. The “foundation” to the world’s financial system will come into question and the greatest panic of all time will only be stopped by turning the lights out in the casinos. Loss of control and the plugs being pulled all around the world will lead to one universal “view” when the dust clears …an UNRECOGNIZABLE VIEW!

Financial Avalanche Will Bury Most -David Morgan

By Greg Hunter On January 3, 2016 In Market Analysis

Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (Early Sunday Release)

Financial writer David Morgan says the global economy is cracking. Things such as shipping, manufacturing, retail and real estate sales are all headed down. Morgan contends, “What you are starting to see is those little rumblings that happen before the big tremor. That’s an analogy, but that’s what we are starting to see. . . . Nothing is more important than the debt markets and what is going to happen in the future.” Morgan thought a financial crash would occur last fall. We may not have gotten a total crash, but Morgan says it has certainly started and charges, “Mathematically, it is a certainty. Secondly, the biggest knowledge from monetary history is that no fiat currency can go on indefinitely. They have all failed—100%. So, will the dollar continue indefinitely—it won’t. The hard part is saying when, but it will take place. The analogy on that is sort of like an avalanche. When it starts, it actually starts to move rather slowly, but it is a mass, mass times velocity. So, what happens is it starts kind of slow, so slow you might not even notice it. Then it starts picking up speed and picking up speed, and then bang, it goes from slowly to quickly. Most crashes are taking place. It is taking place, but what people don’t notice is it is moving or moving against them. It’s going to hurt them, and they aren’t aware of it until it is too late. Once it picks up speed, and it picks up speed so rapidly that before you know it, they are buried. I think that is a good analogy for where we are now. . . . I think the avalanche started in September.” Morgan says the Fed is on the back side of the power curve. What does he mean by that? Morgan explains, “Things are really at a standstill. This is really the biggest fear the Federal Reserve has. It’s called pushing on a string. If you push on a string, nothing happens. They have tried forever to stimulate the economy by increasing the debts, by increasing credit. The credit has all gone to the banks. Having an aeronautical background and flying for many years, it’s called the backside of the power curve. It means no matter what airplane you are in, when you get to a certain point and stall out, no matter how much power you give it, you are going to stall and you are going to fall. You are either going to have enough altitude to recover or you are going to crash into the ground. This is a perfect analogy for where we are now . . . I am not sure we have enough to recover this time. The Fed has been printing and printing and printing, which is the equivalent of pushing the pedal to the metal . . . and we haven’t got out of this mess, and you know it and I know it.” Join Greg Hunter as he goes One-on-One with silver expert David Morgan of TheMorganReport.com.

Obama's North Korea Hydrogen Bomb Loophole

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come

North Korea nuclear: State claims first hydrogen bomb test

North Korea says it has the 'H-bomb of justice' after nuclear test

We've heard all this week from the media propaganda arm of Obama about the 'gun show loophole', but really nothing about this empty suit's failure to close the North Korea nuclear proliferation loophole. The news from impotent, failed, crumbling Washington this morning was ; 'We will not allow North Korea to be a nuclear power' What world do these lunatic's live in? They are a nuclear power in-spite of the useless UN and the addled and very corrupt Washington Establishment. That horse has left the barn, dear comrade Obama, that Pandora's Box has been opened, dear emperor dictator with no clothes, that genie is out of the bottle. Thanks to O and our other Globalist 'destroyer' presidents, Clinton and Bush, dear worthless leader with the teleprompter, nuclear midnight has arrived! What will O do, take out his pen and his phone or cry another tear ? Total unmitigated failures, all of the Washington political class on both sides of the isle, except for only a handful. Empty words with no meaning, just worthless, empty words as Obama zero's in on the little fish he wants to disarm. There will be millions of dead Americans because our weak leaders failed early on to halt North Korea and Iran's nuclear drive... and yet this loser president is focused on the gun show loop hole. He does not even disarm his HEAVILY armed gangster pals in Chicago, LA and every other major American city. He's busy releasing dangerous criminals and criminal illegal aliens back into the streets to terrorize the public all over again. He has time to target law abiding citizens while the criminals bypass the background check easily.

Iran says Saudis attacked embassy in Yemen

CBS/AP January 7, 2016, 6:39 AM Last Updated Jan 7, 2016 11:09 AM EST

TEHRAN, Iran -- Iran on Thursday accused the Saudi-led coalition battling Shiite rebels in Yemen of hitting its embassy in the capital, Sanaa, in an overnight airstrike, but there were no visible signs of damage on the building. The accusation comes amid a dangerous rise in tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia in recent days, following the kingdom's execution of a Shiite cleric and attacks on Saudi diplomatic posts in the Islamic Republic. The execution of the cleric, Nimr al-Nimr, enflamed a 1,400-year-old conflict between Sunni and Shiite Muslims. Analysts have feared the dispute could boil over into the proxy wars between the two Mideast rivals in Yemen and in Syria. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's eastern Shiite heartland prepared to hold a service Thursday night to honor Nimr al-Nimr. That could spark further unrest, as witnesses in eastern Saudi towns have reported hearing gunfire overnight and armored personnel carriers have been seen driving through neighborhood streets. On Thursday afternoon, Iran's state-run news agency said a Saudi-led airstrike the previous night hit the Iranian embassy in Sanaa, etc. and the news story continues..

Riyadh's Nightmare: Saudi Shiites Could 'Secede' and Take All Oil to Iran

AFP 2015/ BILAL QABALAN

15:37 07.01.2016(updated 16:15 07.01.2016)

In Saudi Arabia, ruled by a Sunni monarchy, oil is mostly located in regions populated by Shiites. This fuels Riyadh's "deepest fear" which involves Saudi Shiites seceding and allying their oil-rich regions with Iran, a Shiite theocracy, Jon Schwarz wrote for The Intercept. Schwarz cited a map, created by Dr. M.R. Izady, Adjunct Master Professor of Middle Eastern Studies and History at the USAF Special Operations School/Joint Special Operations University (JSOU/USAFSOS). The map shows that "due to a peculiar correlation of religious history and anaerobic decomposition of plankton, almost all the Persian Gulf's fossil fuels are located underneath Shiites," Schwarz noted. Saudi Arabia is not an exception to this rule. Major Saudi oilfields are located in the largest province of the oil kingdom – the Eastern Province, which contains a majority Shiite population. Prominent Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr, who was recently executed by Riyadh sparking outrage among Shiites, lived in the village of al-Awamiyah, located in the Eastern province. etc. and the news story continues..

At least 65 people were killed on Thursday when one of Libya's worst truck bombs in years exploded at a police training centre in the town of Zliten, local officials and hospital sources said. No group immediately claimed the attack, but the bombing was one of the deadliest since Islamist militants started expanding their presence in the chaos that followed the fall of Moammar Gadhafi in 2011. etc. and the news story continues..

Abbas nixes rumors about collapse of Palestinian Authority, his resignation

JTA Posted on Jan. 6, 2016 at 2:03 pm

The Palestinian Authority is not going to collapse, PA President Mahmoud Abbas said, addressing at least one report to the contrary. “The Palestinian Authority exists and it is here. It will be followed by a Palestinian state. The Palestinian Authority is one of our achievements and we won’t give it up,” Abbas said Wednesday night from Bethlehem, where he was attending Orthodox Christmas celebrations. “We won’t accept any other scenarios,” he said. Haaretz reported that Israel’s Security Cabinet convened twice in recent weeks to prepare for the possibility of the PA’s collapse, a scenario described by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as undesirable for Israel. Abbas also said that during meetings next week, the PLO will make an official decision on whether or not to cancel agreements signed over the years with Israel, including the security coordination enshrined in the Oslo Accords from the 1990s. Prior to the speech, rumors had circulated that Abbas was planning to resign amid reports that he was seriously ill, including being treated for a stroke. Abbas called on the international community to impose a peace agreement on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and said the Palestinians remain committed to a two-state solution. “We shall remain on our land and Israel is not permitted to establish an apartheid state or a state with two systems,” he said. Abbas also called for all West Bank settlements to be dismantled. “This is our land and all the settlers must leave, he said, “and they will leave as was the case in the Gaza Strip.”

Collapse Accelerates – Worldwide Panic Increases As Historic Super-Bubbles Burst

January 06, 2016

As the Chinese stock market plunged over 7 percent before trading was halted for the second time this week, today a 50-year market veteran warned King World News that the global collapse is accelerating as worldwide panic increases and historic super-bubbles begin to burst. John Embry: “I found it very interesting that the opening day of trading in 2016 was the worst since 1932, and as you recall, Eric, that year didn’t work out too well. Ironically, despite all the bullish predictions from the Wall Street crowd, things are materially worse today than the lead-up to the Great Depression of the 1930s… “Because of the use of derivatives and other dangerous financial instruments, the leverage in the system today dwarfs anything seen in the late 1920s. Thus there is an ongoing manic attempt by governments and their central banks to keep things afloat because they know better than anyone what chaos looms. Panic & Chaos As Historic Super-Bubbles Begin To Burst As a result of all this there is virtually no true price discovery in any global market. However, things are deteriorating so rapidly in the real world that the powers that be are reduced to a policy of pretend and extend in the hope of an economic miracle. But that most assuredly is not going to happen and the eventual outcome becomes worse with each passing day. Now it appears that the Chinese are not nearly as adept as the Americans at rigging their stock market and they have had to halt trading and intervene to stop the market rout. But this is just a manifestation of grossly overvalued markets everywhere, fueled by constant money creation by the central banks. Because central banks have taken interest rates to zero, this has forced historic super-bubbles in stocks, junk bonds, and real estate that are all beginning to burst and create havoc globally. Someone recently said that one of the most endangered species is the pensioner and I totally concur with that sentiment. etc. and the news story continues..

Rev. Graham: It’s ‘Open Season on Christians -- Sin Is Openly Celebrated By The Highest Office In Our Land’

“We are perilously close to the moral tipping point for the survival” of America and it is “open season on Christians” now, said Reverend Franklin Graham, who added that “sin is openly celebrated and flaunted by the highest office in our land,” the White House, and “men and women of deep and sincere faith are publicly scorned.” etc. and the news story continues..

Don't expect the best without being ready for the worst

Ron Paul: Be Prepared for the Worst

Any number of pundits claim that we have now passed the worst of the recession. Green shoots of recovery are supposedly popping up all around the country, and the economy is expected to resume growing soon at an annual rate of 3% to 4%. Many of these are the same people who insisted that the economy would continue growing last year, even while it was clear that we were already in the beginning stages of a recession. A false recovery is under way. I am reminded of the outlook in 1930, when the experts were certain that the worst of the Depression was over and that recovery was just around the corner. The economy and stock market seemed to be recovering, and there was optimism that the recession, like many of those before it, would be over in a year or less. Instead, the interventionist policies of Hoover and Roosevelt caused the Depression to worsen, and the Dow Jones industrial average did not recover to 1929 levels until 1954. I fear that our stimulus and bailout programs have already done too much to prevent the economy from recovering in a natural manner and will result in yet another asset bubble.

The Constitution, the President and Guns

By Andrew P. Napolitano January 7, 2016

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” — Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution In 2008, the Supreme Court laid to rest the once-simmering dispute over the meaning of the Second Amendment. In an opinion written by Justice Antonin Scalia, the court articulated the modern existence of the ancient personal right to keep and bear arms as a pre-political right. A pre-political right is one that pre-exists the political order that was created to protect it. Thus, the court held, the origins of this right are the ancient and persistent traditions of free peoples and their natural inclinations to self-defense. The court also characterized the right as fundamental. That puts it in the highest category of rights protected by the Bill of Rights. Though the origins of this right are from an era well before guns existed, the textual language in the amendment — “arms” — makes clear, the court ruled, the intention of the Framers that its continuing purpose should be to recognize the right of people to keep and use the same level of technologically available arms that might be used against them. That, in a nutshell, is the history, theory and purpose of the amendment as the modern Supreme Court has found them to be. But as we have seen, the constitutional guarantees that were written to keep the government from interfering with our rights are only as viable as is the fidelity to the Constitution of those in whose hands we have reposed it for safekeeping. In our system, principal among those are the hands of the president; and sadly, today we have a president seriously lacking in this fidelity. And that lack is salient when it comes to the Second Amendment. Earlier this week, President Barack Obama announced that he will sign executive orders that expand the size and scope of federal monitoring of the acquisition and use of guns — traditionally a matter left to the states — and he will interpret the laws in novel ways, establish rules and impose obligations that Congress rejected, and prosecute those who defy his new system. The president has very little room to issue executive orders on guns because the congressional legislation in this area is so extensive, detailed and clear. In addition to ordering your doctor to report to the Department of Homeland Security any mention you may make to the doctor of guns in your home, the president has decreed on his own and against the articulated will of Congress the obligation of all people who transfer any gun to any other person to obtain a federal gun dealer license. This is among the most cumbersome and burdensome licenses to obtain. He has also decreed that any licensee who fails to perform a background check on the person to whom the licensee has transferred a gun shall be guilty of a felony. Give a BB gun to your nephew on his 16th birthday without a federal license and you can go to prison. Can the president do that? In a word: No. Under our system of government, only Congress can write federal laws and establish crimes. The president is on particularly thin constitutional ice here because his allies in Congress have proposed this very procedure as an amendment to existing law, and Congress has expressly rejected those proposals. The president is without authority to negate the congressional will, and any attempt to do so will be invalidated by the courts. As well, by defining what an occasional seller is, beyond the congressional definition or the plain meaning of the words, the president is essentially interpreting the law, a job reserved for the courts. By requiring physicians to report conversations with their patients about guns to the DHS, the president will be encouraging them to invade the physician-patient privilege; and I suspect that most doctors will ignore him. Under the Constitution, fundamental liberties (speech, a free press, worship, self-defense, travel and privacy, to name a few) are accorded the highest protection from governmental intrusion. One can only lose a fundamental right by intentionally giving it up or via due process (a jury trial resulting in a conviction for criminal behavior). The president — whose support for the right to keep and bear arms is limited to the military, the police and his own heavily armed body guards — is happy to begin a slippery slope down into the dark hole of totalitarianism, whereby he or a future president can negate liberties if he hates or fears the exercising of them. We still have a Constitution in America. Under the Constitution, Congress writes the laws, the president enforces them, and the courts interpret them. The president can no more write his own laws or impose his own interpretations upon pre-existing laws than Congress or the courts can command the military. As troubling as this turn of events is, it is not surprising. The president is a progressive, and the ideology of progressivism is anathema to self-help or individualism. He really believes that the government can care for us better than we can care for ourselves. Yet he ignores recent history. Any attempt to make it more difficult for people to keep and bear arms not only violates the fundamental liberty of those people but also jeopardizes the safety of us all. Add to this the progressive tendency to use government to establish no-gun zones and you have the recipe for disaster we have recently witnessed. All of the recent mass killings in America — from Columbine to San Bernardino — have occurred in no-gun zones, where crazies and terror-minded murderers can shoot with abandon. That is, until someone arrives with a gun and shoots back. Then the killer flees or is injured or dies — and the killing stops.

Shocking footage from China is said to show the tremors of an earthquake created by North Korea's hydrogen bomb test, which took place more than 100 miles away. The reclusive country announced it had carried out a 'perfect' thermonuclear test this morning, triggering a 5.1 magnitude earthquake. A video from China's north eastern Yanji county shows a highway shaking uncontrollably as a result of the blast. Stills from the same area revealed cracks forming in a playground where many children had gathered and locals being evacuated from a building. Yanji, Huichun and Changbai - which are located near China's border with North Korea - are said to have felt the tremors the most. Atomic weapons experts and North Korea's opponents have cast doubt over the H-bomb explosion, saying the size of the blast and resulting earthquake was far too small to have come from such a device. Hydrogen bombs can produce explosions up to 1,000 times more powerful than atom bombs, such as the one dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. That A-bomb delivered the equivalent of around 15 kilotons of TNT explosive, while the US hydrogen bomb tested at Bikini atoll in 1954 delivered 450 kilotons. This extra destructive power means they are standard issue in the arsenals of the US, Russia, Britain and France. South Korea's spy agency said today's blast produced an explosive yield of only six kilotons. One of the country's senior lawmakers, Lee Cheol Woo, said even a failed hydrogen bomb detonation yields tens of kilotons. American agencies added that the evidence from the blast was 'not consistent' with North Korea's claims. Crispin Rovere, an Australia-based nuclear expert, said: 'The seismic data that's been received indicates that the explosion is probably significantly below what one would expect from an H-bomb test. 'So initially it seems to be that they've successfully conducted a nuclear test, but unsuccessfully completed the second-stage hydrogen explosion.' The nuclear test, which caused an earthquake that was measured by the United States Geological Survey, was ordered by North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un. The thermonuclear weapon is believed to have detonated in the atmosphere at 10am local time (1.30am GMT) at the Punggye-ri test site in the north-east of the country, North Korea's official KCNA news agency said. Thousands across the country gathered in public squares to watch a newsreader announce the H-bomb test on state TV. As people raised their arms to the sky and cheered, she said: 'Let's begin the year of 2016... with the thrilling sound of our first hydrogen bomb explosion, so that the whole world will look up to our socialist, nuclear-armed republic and the great Workers' Party of Korea.' etc. and the news story continues..

By John Everard, Former British Ambassador To North Korea, For The Daily Mail Published: 19:17 EST, 6 January 2016 | Updated: 09:03 EST, 7 January 2016

The pressing question the world is now asking is if North Korea did develop a hydrogen bomb, would they ever use it? Is Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un really that dangerous? In what now seems a chilling New Year message, he threatened 'a merciless sacred war of justice' if North Korea suffered the slightest provocation from its several enemies. Might 'sacred war' involve using nuclear weapons, and perhaps a hydrogen bomb (if North Korea really has one)? We just don't know. What we do know is that in the space of a week the world is already a more dangerous place. etc. and the news story continues.

The total collapse of Saudi Arabia is inevitable

Posted on December 29, 2015 by Admin

Hm… don’t we know it.

The Saudis tried to undermine the US economy and oil trade by pushing the oil prices to rock bottom to push America out of the market, but it has backfired on them. America doesn’t really need Saudi oil. The world doesn’t need Saudi oil and can survive without it. Overall, low oil prices is good for the economy. It makes travels, transport, import, export, trade cheaper meaning it usually ends in higher profits for companies which result in more jobs, more hiring. The only way for Saudi Arabia to survive is to turn into another Dubai and open its doors completely to the world, to tourism, to investments and to more freedom. But centuries of an insulated ideology and a bad reputation makes it too late for the Saudis to turn around. Barely anyone wants to see Saudi Arabia. The Arabian desert is full of dead bodies, of people buried alive, punished, tortured, killed – in a taste of true Saudi hospitality. No one wants to associate with the Saudis because their reputation is so bad. The country is ugly, depressing and unappealing like a desert slaughterhouse. The people are corrupt, indulgent, inbred, unintelligent, lazy, fat, cruel, inept and completely flaky and unreliable. They have no skills, not work ethics. Now the Saudis have run out of money so they can’t rebuild their ugly country either to transform it. It’s too late now. The heart of Islam will soon meet its long awaited-for demise. Once Mecca falls the whole deck of cards of the world’s must murderous ideology will collapse.

(News Focus) N. Korea in advanced stages of miniaturizing nuke weapons: officials

2016/01/07 16:45

SEOUL, Jan. 6 (Yonhap) -- North Korea is presumed to be in the advanced stages of miniaturizing nuclear bombs to be loadable onto ballistic missiles, possibly including hydrogen bombs, which the country claimed to have tested a day earlier. North Korea announced that it has conducted its fourth nuclear test on Wednesday, apparently taking one step further toward its goal of developing nuclear weapon-fitted ballistic missiles. The outside world, however, suspects that the detonation may not have been hydrogen-based because the explosive power registered from the Wednesday test was far too week for an H-bomb. Whether it was a hydrogen bomb or an atomic bomb, South Korean government officials presumed on Thursday that North Korea may be in possession of nuclear weapons weighing about 4 tons, still too heavy to be carried by a ballistic missile. The weapons need to be further downsized to 500-600 kilograms in order to be fitted onto a ballistic missile, the officials said. According to some intelligence authorities, the North's quest for the smaller nuclear warhead is well under way. "It is beyond our intelligence whether North Korea has developed a miniaturized hydrogen bomb, but it is still believed to have achieved much of the miniaturization technology itself, given the time the country has taken in its nuclear development so far," one intelligence official said. The officials referred to recent progress in North Korea's high-explosive detonation tests as key evidence of the assessment. Since the late 1980s, North Korea has conducted about 100 experiments of high-explosives, a vital nuclear weapon component whose detonation provides the initial force for an atomic blast, at a detonation testing ground in Pyongyang. The average size of the bomb crater from the high-explosive experiment reached about 4 meters when intelligence officials first detected them in 1989, but the crater size shrank to the 1.5-m level in 2001 and further came down to 1 m afterward, the intelligence officials said. Last year, North Korea did not conduct any related tests, according to South Korea's intelligence, an important sign that suggests the country has somewhat mastered the miniaturization technology. Miniaturization is practically the final stage in the development of a nuclear warhead-tipped inter-continental ballistic missile. The communist country may push ahead with one or two more nuclear tests down the road in order to secure smaller and lighter nuclear weapons, they said. etc. and the news story continues.

Two Mideast refugees arrested on terror charges appearing in US courts

Published January 08, 2016 FoxNews.com

Two men born in Iraq who came to the U.S. as refugees were set to appear in court Friday on terror-related charges in California and Texas, as investigators say one of the men wrote that he wanted to travel to Syria because he was "eager to see blood." A criminal complaint unsealed Thursday accused 23-year-old Aws Mohammed Younis Al-Jayab, of Sacramento, Calif., of traveling to Syria to fight alongside terrorist organizations and lying to government investigators about it. Almost simultaneously in Houston, federal authorities announced the arrest of Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan, 24, on charges of attempting to provide material support to ISIS, procurement of citizenship or naturalization unlawfully and making false statements to investigators. He was the 80th person charged under Federal law in an ISIS-related case since April 2013, and the first in 2016. In addition to writing that he was "eager to see blood," Al-Jayab also claimed that he wanted to learn "long range shooting," and that "God has facilitated" his travels, court documents show. The documents did not indicate whether the two cases were connected. etc. and the news story continues..

BEIRUT — Aid agencies expressed alarm Thursday about dire conditions in a besieged town west of Damascus where people have been eating cats and grass to stay alive and as many as 23 people are reported to have died of hunger. No food has arrived in the rural town of Madaya since October, and desperate residents have posted photographs on the Internet showing frail, skeletal corpses and emaciated people, including children. The medical charity Doctors Without Borders said 23 people have died of starvation since Dec. 1 at a clinic the group supports in Madaya, six of them infants less than 1 year old. The town has become “an open-air prison,” Brice de le Vingne, director of operations for Doctors Without Borders, said in a statement. Desperate people who try to flee have been injured or killed by bullets or by land mines planted around the town, he added. etc. and the news story continues.

Analysts: Iran-Saudi Crisis Compounds Regional Wars

Heather Murdock January 05, 2016 11:58 AM

CAIRO— Drinking tea on his traditional Yemeni low sofa, Sultan Zaied, a 41-year-old accountant in the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, says the diplomatic battle between Saudi Arabia and Iran has already intensified tensions in Yemen, and the crisis is still growing. “They are attacking everything,” he said, referring to the Saudi-led coalition air assaults on the Houthis, believed to be supported by Iran. “This is proof that the attempts at negotiations are failing.” As countries and militias line up behind regional giants Iran and Saudi Arabia, analysts say the diplomatic crisis is already having an impact across the region. If it continues, they add, Middle East wars — including the fight against Islamic State militants — are more likely to expand than to be resolved peacefully. etc. and the news story continues..

Is US Military Being Set-Up For Fall? Obama Eyes 6 FEMA Camps For Illegal Immigrants, On US Military Bases!

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

The same day we learned that the Obama administration and the US State Department be attempting to move illegal immigrants on to US military bases as shared in the 1st and 2nd videos below, we also learned that two suspicious backpacks were recently found at a US Naval Reserve Center in Florida as shared in the 3rd video below. With our own State Department planning on putting illegal immigrants, which even our own FBI and DHS have said they cannot properly vet, on to US military bases, is our military being set-up for a massive fall? Can it be wise to allow unvettable foreign citizens who may hate America and Americans on to our military bases? While we're told this is mainly minors, this just seems to us like asking for more problems and one Alabama Congresswoman agrees. From the Washington Times.: The Pentagon is beginning “site assessments” of six military bases, some as far north as North Dakota and Massachusetts to house a new wave of illegal immigrants that have entered the U.S. via Mexico illegally. A Pentagon memo to Rep. Martha Roby, Alabama Republican, detailed the Office of Refugee Resettlement’s plans to expand its shelter capacity. “This temporary increased shelter capacity is a prudent step needed to ensure ORR meets its statutory responsibility to provide shelter for the unaccompanied children referred to its care and to assist [U.S. Customs and Border Protection] in ensuring that the U.S. Border Patrol continues its vital national security mission to prevent illegal migration and trafficking, and to protect the borders of the United State,” the memo said, according to the Washington Examiner. Other bases being considered for expanded shelters include Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla.; Grand Forks Air Force Base, N.D.; Naval Support Activity Philadelphia, Penn.; Hanscom Air Force Base, Mass.; and Travis Air Force Base, Calif., according to the email sent to Ms. Roby. We're also told that Representative Roby had previously led a fight against allowing the housing of illegal immigrant youth at the Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base in Alabama and had plans to lead the fight again to stop this latest attempt. Gary Franchi from the Next News Network tells us all about this latest move by the Obama adminstration in a new video called "Obama Eyes 6 'FEMA Camps' For Illegal Immigrants." According to this Washington Examiner story, the latest surge of minors over the border reached 5,600 in November, more than twice the number caught last year according to the US Customs and Border Protection. Representative Roby shares with us one of the reason's why this plan is so wrong.: "A military base is no place to house illegal immigrant children. Bases like Maxwell are engaged in real military activities - training, education, cyber warfare - many times in classified settings that are very sensitive. Their mission does not need to be distracted by housing, feeding and securing hundreds of detainees. "Housing illegal immigrant children at an active military base like Maxwell-Gunter is a terrible idea. We shut it down the first time and we are working every angle to shut it down again," she said. According to a new story on the National Journal, immigrants now make up 13% of the US population and 17% of the US work force. The Journal story clearly shows the changing face of America. Meanwhile, 63% of Americans are only one paycheck away from living on the streets. Michael Buczyner, a reporter at CBS12 in West Palm Beach, Florida broke the story this morning on Twitter of two suspicious backpacks that were found at a US Naval Reserve Center. While the 'all clear' was given, this is another incident where members of our Armed Forces could have been unnecessarily put at risk and as one commenter on the 2nd video reminds us, members of the US military have already been put in needless danger by being unable to carry weapons upon US military bases that according to this Breitbart story, goes back to the presidency of Bill Clinton. As has been shared in various stories on ANP and throughout the alternative and conservative media, Barack Obama and this adminstration have long had great difficulties with the US military and US Veterans. Between the firing of US military officers who didn't meet his own personal 'litmus test' to the absolutely disgusting way the Veterans Administration has let a huge number of Vets die due to improper healthcare, is this adminstration preparing to take this 'war on US Veterans' and the military to another level? Why would they even think about housing illegal immigrants on US military bases? There are obviously better places for these minors to be and better things for our military to be doing with their time than babysitting.

Police in Norway Proclaim: "Oslo is Lost"

Post by Newsroom - Jan 08, 2016

Per a News report, roving bands of savage Muslim beasts make it look like “Karachi, Basra, and Mogadishu all rolled into one.” Things are so bad the police declared: “Oslo is lost.” Gronland is a district in Oslo, Norway, very close to Parliament. Gronland’s been on track to join the caliphate for a while. A little over two years ago, Muslims in Gronland were pushing for it to become part of the Islamic State. Poqari News reports that Norway (and all of Europe) is no longer recognizable as such, that women are routinely raped, men are robbed on a regular basis, the police have given up, and there are sharia patrols. In 2015, there were 50 rape reports filed in Gronland, where, like all of Oslo, 100% of rapes of native Norwegian women by strangers are committed by Muslims. Across Norway, as with all of Europe, women dare not go out at night alone, the risk of rape is so incredibly high. Also in 2015, robberies in Gronland averaged one a day. In the past ten years, more than 4,000 people have been robbed, often right near the Gronland police station, which is in an immigrant ghetto. When the police visited one of Gronland’s latest victims, who was assaulted, held hostage, and robbed, they told him they had no way of stopping the robberies. “We have lost the city,” they said. We are witnessing the wholesale collapse of Europe due to self-destructive decisions and a lack of any will to defend the homeland – a defense that wouldn’t be necessary if they hadn’t let the barbarians in. But they let them in. And they just can’t stop. Europe has become addicted to its self-inflicted demise. Who would have guessed needless guilt would go that far? etc. and the news story continues..

Top Gun: Why Nothing Comes Close to Russia’s Vulkan Missile

Russia 17:53 05.01.2016(updated 18:27 05.01.2016)

It wasn’t until the early 1970 that western arms makers finally realized the advantages offered by cruise missiles. The Americans developed the Harpoon anti-ship missile, the French followed up with the Exocet and 1981 saw the entry of America’s famous Tomahawk cruise missile. Not to be outdone, the Soviet Union focused on the development of a missile that would be stealthier and deadlier than its foreign analogues. Development of the P-1000 Vulkan long-range anti-ship missile began in 1979 and less than a decade later it entered active service with the Soviet Navy. Intended as the replacement for Bazalt missiles, introduced in the early 1970s, the Vulkan features improved supersonic speed of Mach 2.8, an estimated range of 700 kilometers and may be equipped with a 350-kiloton nuclear warhead. The purpose of this dreadful missile system is to allow Russian submarines and missile cruisers to engage aircraft carrier strike groups from safe ranges. etc. and the news story contines..

Sinking Ship: US Navy 'Unable to Meet Rising Global Dangers'

15:04 08.01.2016

In its current state, the US Navy is incapable of countering the rising global threats, Seth Cropsey, former US Assistant Secretary of Defense, wrote in his article. Cropsey now serves as director of Hudson Institute's Center for American Seapower. Currently, the US naval fleet consists of 272 ships, half its size 30 years ago. The Navy’s plan to expand the fleet to 308 vessels is unlikely to be fully implemented. The Pentagon ordered to cut the number of future ships and modernize the existing fleet instead. Meanwhile, as Cropsey wrote, the large number of ships is the key element of deterrence. He said the US needs 350 ships to counter rising global dangers. For instance, the number of aircraft carriers should be increased from 11 to 16. A total of 100 large surface ships, destroyers and cruise ships would be necessary to protect the aircraft carriers. The number of supply vessels should be halved, to 58, the analyst wrote. According to him, the number of small warships should not be decreased from 52 to 40 as the Pentagon plans, but 30 more ships of this type are needed. He also commented on submarines. According to Pentagon estimates, by 2020, the US and China will have 70 submarines in service each. Despite the fact the US will have the upper hand in quality, it will need 90 submarines for nuclear deterrence and other purposes, Cropsey wrote. The build-up of maritime presence by Russia, China and Iran in the Mediterranean as well as the siege of the Libyan coastal town of Sirte have proved the need for US amphibious ships in the region, as it was in the Cold War era, the article in The Wall Street Journal read. Cropsey underscored that the US naval presence in the Mediterranean would require 45 ships. According to the analyst, to ramp up the US Navy, $24 billion is needed annually, a 45-percent rise in spending. etc. and the news story continues..

Egypt urges Israel not to normalize ties with Turkey

Sources reveal Cairo has been worriedly asking for clarification over reports that Israel will lift Gaza blockade, let Turkey into Gaza.

By Ari Yashar First Publish: 1/7/2016, 5:40 PM

Egypt recently contacted Israel requesting clarification over the rapprochement talks Jerusalem is holding with Turkey, it was revealed on Thursday. Senior clerks in Jerusalem told Haaretz on condition of anonymity that the Egyptian government expressed its displeasure with the notion of Turkey being given an official role in Gaza, and further asked to clarify Israel's intentions regarding Turkey's demand to lift the naval blockade on the Hamas-run enclave. According to a senior clerk cited in the report Thursday, Egypt has demanded that Israel not cave in to Turkey's demands regarding Gaza, and the strong Egyptian opposition is a key factor preventing a normalization deal from being reached with Ankara. Turkey continues to firmly support Hamas, which is a Gazan offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood that the Egyptian government has been cracking down on. Egypt has been imposing a siege of Gaza, having turned the southern edge of the region into a buffer zone. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu reportedly fears that any compromise he might make to Turkey regarding the terror enclave of Gaza will harm relations with Egypt, which signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1978 following numerous failed attempts to destroy the Jewish state. Netanyahu has said that Israel tried to mediate between Egypt and Turkey to reduce tensions between the rival states and allow Turkey to be more involved in Gaza, but the attempts failed. Egyptian diplomats have been in touch with Israeli ambassadors and senior members of the foreign ministry to try and clarify recent reports from Turkey, according to which Israel is considering lifting its siege on Gaza which is meant to block the influx of weapons to the terrorists. etc. and the news story continues..

And they were eating themselves from the inside to stay alive by the time we saw them… If it continues, if this is the new normal, the sea lion population and the fur seal population in California are going to have severe drops in their overall population.” Laguna Beach Independent, Dec 18, 2015: With the lowest body weights ever documented, California sea lion pups are not only starving from lack of food, they’re infested with parasites and immune to antibiotics, said [Keith Matassa] the director of the Pacific Marine Mammal Center… A record number of emaciated and dying sea lion and seal pups is expected along local shores this winter… Last year, 3,500 sea lions and seals were rescued by various California marine rehab facilities. This year, the stranded pinnipeds are expected to hit 4,000… The animals are riddled with intestine-perforating parasites, known as thorny-head hookworms. “We’re seeing such a high level of parasites now, it’s not normal,” said Matassa… Antibiotics for infections are proving ineffective… Conditions have “not gotten much better over the past couple of years,” [Sharon Melin, NOAA wildlife biologist] said… The food web, said Melin, “has been out of whack now for quite some time.”… The fact that northern pup seals are following suit signifies the domino effect of a distressed environment, she said… the California sea lion population tops out at 300,000… she predicts a drastic decline to 100,000 due to low food availability… “There’s so many stressors on the ocean right now,” Matassa said. Guardian, Dec 30, 2015: Unprecedented numbers of dead or starving seals washing ashore as Pacific Ocean warms, with experts saying they are ‘preparing for the worst’ in 2016… According to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries, there has been a huge increase in stranded sea lions… According to NOAA, more than 4,200 sick sea lions have been washed up in California so far this year, comfortably the greatest number of strandings over the past decade. Dr Terry Gosliner, senior curator of invertebrate zoology at the California Academy of Sciences: “We are entering a really interesting period where the observations we make don’t have a precedent… It could take decades for these ecosystems to stabilize again.”

A Spiritual Battle

January 8, 2016 by John Little - OmegaShock.com | 6 Comments

Satan, the father of lies, walks about – like a roaring lion – seeking whom he may devour (I Peter 5:8). In the midst of the great battles that rage around us, we forget that this is – above all – a spiritual war. And, spiritual wars are fought with spiritual weapons. Of course, physical weapons will play their part, but they are NOT the weapons of OUR warfare(2 Corinthians 10:4). I keep forgetting that, so I’m sure that you do too. As much as I want to wade into this battle with ‘swords drawn’, I know that vengeance is God’s duty – not ours (Romans 12:19). This is a hard lesson for me to swallow. The injustice in this world grates upon my soul, and it cries out for vengeance. A Spiritual Battle We are all engaged in a tremendous spiritual battle. That battle is just one part of a great war that has been fought since the beginning of creation. On one side are Satan and his minions. On the other side are God, His angels and His people. The battlefield stretches from one end of the globe to another. It touches every person on the planet. And, it reaches into the deepest recesses of every heart and ever mind. This battle is about YOUR place in eternity. And, God is engaged in this war BECAUSE of His desire to place you in heaven. For some reason, Satan fails every time a lost soul comes to Christ and takes a hold of an eternal redemption. I don’t really understand that, but I’m just a tiny cog in God’s incredible war machine. In fact, I don’t think that ANY of us really understand the true impact of what we do and say. And, I am impressed by how vulnerable Satan’s minions are to a humble and loving war that we wage against them. My Own Battles I am currently engaged in a battle for the soul of someone who has made great sacrifices for the Lord, but has lost his way in that service. He is a good man that has allowed darkness to encroach upon his life. And, I am the least of those who are seeking his recovery. Last night, my wife and I taught our last class for the semester, and we waved goodbye to precious souls – not knowing what would happen to them. But, we know that God has their future in His perfect hands. And, we love every one of those students, both past and present. My marriage is wonderful, but my poor wife is married to a crazy man. I routinely trample over this lovely woman, and I am grateful that she doesn’t take any of that sitting down. Outside of God, there is nothing and no one that I love more. Our church tries very hard to help each other in the challenges that we face here in Taiwan. Of course, we aren’t always very good at that. In fact, in some ways, we’re pretty bad. Part of the problem is that our best members keep getting sent somewhere else. In more than four decades of walking with the Lord – and often stumbling – I have never seen God defeated. Never. And, the only time that I have ever seen defeat is when I did not entrust the battle to the Lord. I am my own worst enemy, and forgetful to boot. I am FULL of imperfections. The Restraint That Lies Before Us I am reminded of this by all the many battles that lie before us in the months ahead. Financial and economic collapse is rushing down on us. Wars are breaking out, and on the verge of breaking out. Our governments are turning upon their own citizens, and devouring them. Sin is rampant, and it appears that the Antichrist is about to rise. But, I pause to reflect. God is in this battle, and it is not our fight. It is His. I am writing this as much to myself, as to you. I am not someone who likes to sit and watch while injustice reigns. It is hard to restrain myself from action. In fact, I am terrible in the area of restraint. This is why I MUST keep reminding myself: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) – 2 Corinthians 10:4 And then, this verse: Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. – Romans 12:19 THAT one is SO HARD! I cannot tell you how many times I’ve had to swallow my justified wrath and allow God to work. There are times when I am in open revolt against this verse, but I have to keep telling myself that God is the Great Commander. He knows this battle better than I. What Satan Wants Remember that Satan WANTS you to forget those verses. He WANTS you to lash out in anger and wrath. He WANTS you to fight with carnal weapons, instead of spiritual. Satan is the god of anger, wrath and hatred. He WANTS you to fight fire with fire. So, when Peter said this… Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: – 1 Peter 5:8 …he wasn’t just warning us against the evils of this world, but also our own temptation to do evil in response. In fact, read all of 1 Peter 5. It’s a good chapter to take to heart. In the research below, you will see many battles. Some we are fighting now. Others lie in the future. But, we will obtain victory in none of those battles if we aren’t allowing God to fight these for us. I am a sheep of God’s pasture, and I await God’s vengeance upon those who threaten. May we all walk in humility with the Lord, as these things descend upon us.

Oklahoma hit with 70 quakes in a week

Trevor Hughes, USA TODAY 10:08 a.m. EST January 8, 2016

A swarm of more than 70 small earthquakes has rattled Oklahoma in the past week, raising concerns that the state’s quake problem is getting worse. The largest quake measured magnitude-4.8 and struck around midnight Wednesday near the town of Fairview. No significant damage has been reported, although it shook pictures and crockery. “It was felt all over the county, pretty much all over the state,” Major County Undersherrif Darin Reams said. "This one rattled a little bit.” Smaller quakes continued Thursday. Oklahoma in 2014 had at least 5,415 earthquakes; 585 of them were magnitude-3 or greater. In comparison, the state had just 109 magnitude-3 quakes in 2013, according to the Oklahoma Geologic Survey. Statistics for 2015 are still being compiled. and the news story continues..

Amman Bundy Is the Next Davy Crockett

08 Jan, 2016 by Dave Hodges

The Proverbial Line In the Sand Has Been Drawn

Amman Bundy released a statement to Joe Biggs of Infowars that “they are ready to lay their lives down”. I have profound respect for the bravery and integrity of the entire Bundy family. Their handling of the crisis on the Bundy Ranch, involving BLM tyranny, was more than admirable. However, the Patriots who have taken over the Federal building in Burns, Oregon, have painted themselves into a corner. There is no way out. This crisis is going to end in one of two ways. These men, whose courage is beyond reproach, will all be arrested and forced to serve long prison sentences of 20 years or longer. Or, they are going to be carried out in body bags. What do I base my negative prognosis on? Yesterday, I interviewed a hero, Kurt Haskell. Kurt prevented the taking down of an airliner by a terrorist who tried to ignite a bomb on an airliner in flight. This became known as the “Underwear Bomber” incident. Kurt is also an attorney, a former United States Attorney. During the interview, I asked Kurt the question, “Could Amman Bundy and his colleagues simply lay down their arms and leave the area? Would the feds allow that to happen”? Drawing upon his experience as a former U.S. attorney, Kurt said, “Absolutely not”. He also stated that the crisis in Oregon is going to end one of two ways. He believes that the most likely scenario includes the massacre of these men by federal authorities. As have many of us in the Independent Media have already stated, Kurt Haskell believes that this is the most likely outcome. He also went on to say that the Patriots will not be allowed to walk away. At minimum, as I stated, they will go to prison for a very long time. My interview with former U.S. Attorney, Kurt Haskell, can be heard by clicking here. The relevant part can be heard in the final 12 minutes of the recording. Moving Closer to a Date with Destiny Here is a short clip in which Joe Biggs has found the FBI staging area. Please take the 90 seconds necessary and watch this video. Now, does anyone believe that the federal government does not mean business? Further, we already know that the Patriots have been infiltrated with agent provocateurs. It is both my believe and that of Kurt Haskell, that a mini-false flag incident will be initiated against the FBI on the scene in order to vilify the Patriots in eyes of the public, as CNN will spew the propaganda on why gun confiscation is necessary in order to protect the country from people like this. The Goals of the Federal Government On Wednesday, January 6, 2015, I interviewed Oath Keepers President and Founder, Stewart Rhodes, about the standoff in Oregon and he clearly stated that his intelligence information told him that it is reporting that they have been informed by sources within the U.S. Special Forces, that they are on the scene in Burns, Oregon, with very specific and special operations equipment. The Stewart Rhodes interview, on The Common Sense Show, can be heard by clicking here. All the bravado, testosterone and courage is not going to change the fact that this crisis is going to end swiftly and in a very brutal manner. It breaks my heart to say that these Patriots stand as much chance of prevailing as I would have had if I tried to guard basketball legend, Michael Jordan, in his prime. U.S. Special Operations Forces go through the defenses at the Burns federal building like hot knife through butter. This event will end in the same manner as it did for the defenders of the Alamo. Attorney General Loretta Lynch must be very careful to not make the same mistakes as her “Waco predecessor”, Janet Reno, as her reckless actions led to the brutal execution of several women and children at Waco. At the time of Waco, in 1993, America was a different nation. Congress did not have a 9% approval rating. Clinton was not nearly as unpopular as Obama. Americans were much more happy and prosperous than they are today. Lynch needs to be careful not to turn these Patriots into martyrs. The 150+ Patriots cannot be made to appear to be of the same ilk as the 180+ Alamo defenders. CNN and FOX will certainly do their best to preserve the narrative in favor of the federal government. However, the perceptual outcome cannot be guaranteed. And what has this administration, who has had the most mass killings, several times over, than any other administration, done when backed into a corner? They have committed false flag after false flag. I do not need to know that the “plants” are going to do something horrific to the FBI on the scene. How do I know, I have read Obama’s playbook too many times not to see this coming. When the last body is carried out of Burns, Oregon, CNN and Fox will go dark on the subject of the Patriots mass murder, as they will turn their attention, once again, to the topic of gun confiscation. Conclusion If this event ends badly, as I fear it will, I will mourn the loss of Patriots and in particular, Amman Bundy. This is a storyline that I pray that I am wrong about and I would like nothing better to say that Amman Bundy and his colleagues will prevail, I was wrong, and the Hammonds will be immediately released from prison on these bogus charges of arson under the domestic terrorist statutes. Unfortunately, this is not how this is going to end. As Santa Anna showed no quarter for the captured Davy Crockett as he he and his Tennessee Volunteers were burned alive, according to the De la Pena account, Amman Bundy and his Patriots will suffer a very similar fate as Loretta Lynch will show no quarter.

NWO incite Secret papers show HOW Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles run the UK and the commonwealth which is 3-4 of the Globe.

on January 8, 2016

Secret papers show HOW Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles run the UK and the commonwealth 3-4 of the Globe. It was said that corporations have become bigger than most countries

http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2013/jan/14/secret-papers-royals-veto-bills 

Money has become power and power money he who prints the money has all the power. Although the Rothchilds and Masonic Jewish Bankers run the printing press which makes them fabulously wealthy and powerful who gave them this power European Aristocracy did the Royal houses of Europe alone gave them this power” before the banksters killed many of them off” or so we thought. The Europe royals who were Satanic Sacrificed their relatives who were not Satanic for the Promise of world domination in the NEW WORLD ORDER Many of the broken familys still had wealth and influence were part of secret societies and knowing the secret of world power the Families are all still there and remained partners with Rothchild albeit having less authoritative power of state. Unlike Queen Elizabeth the most powerful of all. The royal Blood of Europe works in Tandem, the Rothchilds and bankster clans themselves now related to European royalty all work together with queen lizzie and the Mordor sorry Mordern Vatican state Satan sits at the top of the table all else are subservient. There are also some wananbe rulers. Obama wants to run America By decree horray for him but as we see he is only following the steps of his Royal master but then those politicians love bowing and scraping to royalty because they know its a good way to stay in power subservience is needed. Dave Cameron the queens cousin. even the Irish look how Philip licks his lips at this site. when the Irish were forced to bail out allied Irish bank (owned by Elizabeth) and now she owns Ireland again. Take a bow and masonic handshake french president and the queen. May 2009. Her Majesty the Queen held a state banquet at Windsor Castle for the French President, Nicolas Sarkozy. The Queen had decided to grant her French collaborators, Électricité de France (EDF), permission to build two European Pressurized Reactors in England - at an estimated cost of £25 BILLION each - starting with one at Hinkley Point on the Somerset coast. Part of this insane nuclear deal includes the Queen’s permission to dump French nuclear waste in England. November 2015. Her Majesty The Queen held a state banquet at Buckingham Palace for the Chinese President, Xi Jinping. The pair stitched-up a deal in which the brutal Beijing Regime will invest £30 Billion in the Queen’s new nuclear waste stations. The first, Hinkley C, is scheduled to open around 2025. So now we know people in power love to bow to her why is that if she is a harmless old goat whoes husband like to make racist comments everywhere he goes. Secret papers show extent of senior royals’ veto over bills Court order reveals how approval of Queen and Prince Charles is sought on range of bills At the queens speech when she says My government she means MY GOVERNMENT. The extent of the Queen and Prince Charles’s secretive power of veto over new laws has been exposed after Downing Street lost its battle to keep information about its application secret. Whitehall papers prepared by Cabinet Office lawyers show that overall at least 39 bills have been subject to the most senior royals’ little-known power to consent to or block new laws. They also reveal the power has been used to torpedo proposed legislation relating to decisions about the country going to war. The internal Whitehall pamphlet was only released following a court order and shows ministers and civil servants are obliged to consult the Queen and Prince Charles in greater detail and over more areas of legislation than was previously understood. The new laws that were required to receive the seal of approval from the Queen or Prince Charles cover issues from higher education and paternity pay to identity cards and child maintenance. In one instance the Queen completely vetoed the Military Actions Against Iraq Bill in 1999, a private member’s bill that sought to transfer the power to authorise military strikes against Iraq from the monarch to parliament. wasn't there a civil war at some point in history to to limit the Kings power in the UK or was that all for show.

The Queen gets a £2million pay rise – Daily Express

28 Jun 2013 – The Queen gets a £2million pay rise. BUT ROYALS still only cost …buckingham palace, queen, royal family This year the Queen gave all of her. She was even asked to consent to the Civil Partnership Act 2004 because it contained a declaration about the validity of a civil partnership that would bind her are the royals Christians when they put this legislation through. etc. and the news story continues..

Things are not falling apart -- they are falling into place. If Jesus chastised the Pharisees for not knowing the signs of His first coming, why would we not be expected to be aware of today's apocalyptic signs? Here are some of the top prophetic developments of 2015.

1) Israel's worsening isolation. (Zechariah 12:3) The Left in America under Barack Obama abandoned her some years ago. With the defeat of Canada's Stephen Harper, Israel was left only with some evangelical Christians spread around the world. She has no superpower backing.

2) The "days of Noah" are back. (Matthew 24:37) Everyone is doing what is right in their own eyes. (Judges 17:6) Lawlessness is the order of the day. Evil is glorified. The White House was adorned with the colors of the homosexual rainbow and Hillary Clinton has a campaign ad with homosexuals engaged in debauchery as she celebrates their actions.

3) The disillusionment with today's politician is setting the stage for a "man with a plan" who will not be a politician but who will have the answer to all the world's problems. We don't know his name. We know his title is Antichrist. He may be the only one who can stabilize the ISIS crisis being planned for a naive Western world.

4) The rise of strong delusion. (II Thessalonians 2:10-12). Simply put, God sends a strong delusion to those who choose not to believe the gospel of Jesus Christ. Those who take delight in mocking and rejecting Him, He will condemn, confuse their thinking, and cause them to believe fables. And they do! Islam is good and peaceful; guns are evil; climate change is more dangerous than jihadists; Israel is the bad guy and the Palestinians are the new heroes in the church today; ISIS isn't Islam; Muslim refugees are peaceful and will help the Western world. This is an "Alice-in-Wonderland" world. Christians don't fit. The Mad Hatter rules.

5) The further decline of America. She is not in the Bible in the end-times. Russia and Iran are the primary players in the Mideast now. America's influence for good is vanishing under Barack Obama. America will blend into global government.

6] America is being given over to paganism. A few months ago the Hindu goddess Kali appeared on the Empire State Building in New York City. Twenty years ago this was unthinkable. It is now cool.

7) Israel is being prepared for the Antichrist. She is surrounded by enemies. She has Hezbollah, ISIS, Russia and Syria to the north and East and Hamas to the south in Gaza. Iran boasts daily that she will dump nukes on Israel. At some point she will cave to these threats and call on the Antichrist to make a peace treaty -- particularly in light of the loss of American support.

8) Gog is now on the move. If Gog is Russia, Vladimir Putin has re-built her from the days when Ronald Reagan reined her in. Russia is advancing in many places. All the Gog-Magog nations are aligning and are in the news: Iran, Russia, Turkey, Libya, and more. Prominent Bible-players are moving around as though they were on a chess board. See Ezekiel 38-39.

9) Israel has been bombing the suburbs of Damascus taking out concealed weapons. The Bible foretells a time when Damascus will become a ruinous heap. (Isaiah 35:1)

10) Christians are mocked as never before and Jews are fleeing to Israel at a pace not seen since post WW2. (Matthew 10:22) Only Islam is glorified, honored, and protected. In the Iraq/Syria region, a Christian is slaughtered every 5 minutes, yet few show any concern. Christianity is being erased from the region of its birth. All of this intensified in 2015.

11) The technology giants want to suppress the truth and marginalize Christians. From YouTube, to Google, to Facebook, to Twitter, and more, the gospel message is censored and evil is glorified. They are preparing the way for "Mark of the Beast" technology. This was on overdrive in 2015. This ministry came under the gun and was censored more than once. Stories reveal that Windows 10 actually spies on emails, credit cards, and more.

12) There was a cry for a global religion from Pope Francis to the Parliament of World Religions in Utah in late 2015. If the world is ever to be one, religions also must be united. Pope Francis revealed himself to be an apocalyptic figure in 2015. We cannot "pin the tail of the False Prophet" on him quite yet, but even conservative Catholics are troubled by this Jesuit Pope. In fact, this Pope represents Marxism, environmentalism, the new world order, global government, sustainable development, the Jesuit agenda, unity of faiths, a global constitution, a global court, and a departure from Catholic traditions. He is surely a harbinger of a global religion.

13) Globalism went on overdrive thanks to Barack Obama, the United Nations, Pope Francis, and a consortium of worldwide Leftists. John Lennon, who "imagined" all of this decades ago, would be proud!

Bill Clinton’s loving Wife! By Dick Morris, former political advisor to President Bill Clinton.

If you happen to see the Bill Clinton five minute TV ad for Hillary in which he introduces the commercial by saying he wants to share some things we may not know about Hillary’s background, beware as I was there for most of their presidency and know them better than just about anyone. I offer a few corrections:

Bill says : "In law school Hillary worked on legal services for the poor.

Facts are : Hillary’s main extra-curricular activity in 'Law School' was helping the Black Panthers, on trial in Connecticut for torturing and killing a 'Federal Agent'. She went to Court every day as part of a law student monitoring committee trying to spot civil rights violations and develop grounds for appeal.

Bill says : "Hillary spent a year after graduation working on a Children's rights project for poor kids."

Facts are : Hillary interned with Bob Truehaft, the head of the California Communist Party. She met Bob when he represented the Panthers and traveled all the way to San Francisco to take an internship with him.

Bill says : "Hillary could have written her own job ticket, but she turned down all the lucrative job offers."

Facts are : She flunked the D.C. bar exam, 'Yes', flunked it, it is a matter of record, and only passed the Arkansas bar. She had no job offers in Arkansas, 'None', and only got hired by the University of Arkansas Law School at Fayetteville because Bill was already teaching there. She did not join the prestigious Rose Law Firm until Bill became Arkansas Attorney General and was made a partner only after he was elected Arkansas Governor.

Bill says : "President Carter appointed Hillary to the Legal Services Board of Directors and she became its Chairman."

Facts are : The appointment was in exchange for Bill's support for Carter in his 1980 primary against Ted Kennedy. Hillary then became chairman in a coup in which she won a majority away from Carter's choice to be chairman.

Bill says: "She served on the board of the Arkansas Children's Hospital."

Facts are: Yes she did. But her main board activity, not mentioned by Bill, was to sit on the Wal-Mart Board of Directors, for a substantial fee. She was silent about their labor and health care practices.

Bill says : "Hillary didn't succeed at getting health care for all Americans in 1994 but she kept working at it and helped to create the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) that provides five million children with health insurance."

Facts are : Hillary had nothing to do with creating CHIP. It was included in the budget deal between Clinton and Republican Majority Leader Senator Trent Lott. I know; I helped to negotiate the deal. The money came half from the budget deal and half from the Attorney Generals' tobacco settlement. Hillary had nothing to do with either source of funds.

Bill says: "Hillary was the face of America all over the World." (LOL)

Facts are: Her visits were part of a program to get her out of town so that Bill would not appear weak by feeding stories that Hillary was running the White House. Her visits abroad were entirely touristic and symbolic and there was no substantive diplomacy on any of them.

Bill says : "Hillary was an excellent Senator who kept fighting for Children's and Women's issues."

Facts are : Other than totally meaningless legislation like changing the names on courthouses and post offices, she has passed only four substantive pieces of legislation. One set up a national park in Puerto Rico. A second provided respite care for family members helping their relatives through Alzheimer’s or other conditions. And two were routine bills to aid 911 victims and responders which were sponsored by the entire N.Y. delegation. Presently she is trying to have the US memorialize Woodstock.

Here is what bothers me more than anything else about Hillary Clinton. She has done everything possible to weaken the President and our Country (that's you and me) when it comes to the 'War on Terror'.

1. She wants to close GITMO and move the combatants to the USA where they would have access to our legal system.

2. She wants to eliminate the monitoring of suspected Al Qaeda phone calls to/from the USA.

3. She wants to grant constitutional rights to enemy combatants captured on the battlefield.

4. She wants to eliminate the monitoring of money transfers between suspected Al Qaeda cells and supporters in the USA.

5. She wants to eliminate the type of interrogation tactics used by the Military & CIA where coercion might be used when questioning known terrorists even though such tactics might save American lives.

One cannot think of a single 'Bill', Hillary has introduced or a single comment she has made that would tend to strengthen our Country in the 'War on Terror'. But, one can think of a lot of comments she has made that weaken our Country and makes it a more dangerous situation for all of us.

Bottom line: She goes hand in hand with the ACLU on far too many issues where common sense is abandoned.

Share this with everyone you know, ask them to prove Dick Morris wrong.

Think about it - he's (Dick Morris) said all of this openly, thus if he were not truthful he'd be liable for 'Defamation of Character' ! And you better believe Hillary would sue him.

Mideast Powder Keg By Hal Lindsey

The Middle East has long been a powder keg, and right now that powder keg is inhabited by people with flaming torches. In the last week, hostility in the region reached new levels. But this time the rage is not against Israel. It is Muslim versus Muslim; Sunni versus Shiite. The possibility of war between them, casts a pall over the entire planet. Sunni and Shiite Muslims have been at each other’s throats since Muhammad died in the year 632 AD. 85 to 90% of the world’s Muslims are Sunni. By that you would think Shiites are a marginal minority. But radical Shiites run Iran, a nation that has grown significantly more powerful since the nuclear deal it concluded with the United States and five other world powers last summer. One rarely discussed side-effect of the Iran nuclear deal has been an exacerbation of the volatile relationship between Sunnis and Shiites. After the agreement, both factions ratcheted up the belligerence. Sunni-led Saudi Arabia did everything it could to crash world oil prices just as Iran prepared to re-enter the global market again after years of sanctions. Saudis and Iranians have been fighting through proxies in several countries, including Syria, and have fought directly in Yemen. Tensions rose to a whole new level late last week when Saudi Arabia executed Nimr Baqr al-Nimr a Shiite cleric, along with 47 other prisoners. After Iranian protesters attacked the Saudi embassy in Tehran, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia cut diplomatic relations with Iran. The Saudis also suspended airline flights between the two nations. The conflict then spilled over to other countries. Bahrain severed diplomatic ties with Iran. The United Arab Emirates recalled its ambassador. Hostilities spread to Africa where Sudan recalled its ambassador to Iran, and expelled the Iranian ambassador. Russia and China, both of whom are allies of Iran, have entered the fray offering their services as peacemakers. There’s no clear cut “good guy” in this fight. Iran seems willing to blow the world into chaos believing it will bring back their Muslim messiah, the “Mahdi.” They promise to wipe Israel from the earth. They fund terrorism. They have a history of providing a safe haven for terrorists. They love to shout “Death to America.” And, yes, they are still developing nuclear weapons, and the intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICMBs) to carry them. On the other side, Saudi Arabia’s whole existence is based on a movement within Sunni Islam called “Wahhabism.” It was named after an eighteenth century Sunni preacher named Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab. He preached a severe, fundamentalist form of Islam, urging practitioners of the religion to get back to its basic tenets. In 1744, al-Wahhab converted Muhammad bin Saud, founder of the Saud dynasty and the first Saudi State. The Sauds were later defeated by the Ottomans, but the Saud dynasty did not go away, and remained a power in the region. Modern Saudi Arabia was founded in 1932. Wahhabism remains the basis of the laws and governing philosophy of the nation. That’s why Saudi punishments include beheading, stoning, amputation and lashing, often in public. It is a place where rape victims can be treated worse than their attackers. In one case, seven men gang-raped a teenage girl. But since she did not have a chaperone with her at the time, the court also punished her. She actually received more lashes than one of her rapists. You’ve heard that women can’t legally drive cars in Saudi Arabia, but it also goes against the code for them to try on clothes when shopping, enter a cemetery, buy a Barbie, go swimming, or interact with men who are not relatives. Their faces don’t have to be covered, but they are not allowed to wear clothes or make-up that might “show off their beauty.” And, as mentioned above, Saudi Arabian women cannot go outside the home without a chaperone, called a “mahram.” Despite all this, the United States used to have a good relationship with the Saudi Kingdom. At one time, the U.S. probably could have talked Riyadh out of executing the Shiite cleric. But the Iran nuclear deal changed that. Saudi Arabia no longer trusts the United States. It feels that the U.S. has thrown in its lot with Shiites. With the Iran deal, the United States alienated much of the Sunni Muslim world, and Sunnis make up at least 85% of the world’s Islamic population. You might expect that by giving Iran pretty much everything it wanted in the nuclear deal, America would have at least turned the Shiites into friends. But Shiites respect strength. When we gave away everything in negotiations, it only increased their disdain. In the Middle East, no one is sure whose side the U.S. stands. In the nuclear deal, the United States stands with Iran against Saudi Arabia and the other Sunni Muslim nations. In Yemen, the U.S. stands with Saudi Arabia against Iran and the other Shiite nations. In Iraq, the U.S. seems to stand with the Shiite government against the Kurds and Sunnis. In Syria, the U.S. stands against President Bashar al-Assad and his allies, the Iranians. The U.S. is also against Sunni terror groups, such as ISIS and al-Qaeda. America claims to be on the side of Syria’s “moderate rebels,” but can’t seem to find any. The list could go on and on. The U.S. is both for and against practically every one of the many factions in the Middle East. This foreign policy chaos has left everyone confused, and no one trusting the United States. Though still active in the region, the U.S. has squandered away its friendships, influence, and standing. That opened the door for the Russians. They have seized the opportunity to fill the void where the U.S. once stood. In doing so, Vladimir Putin has neatly positioned Russia to fulfill the role prophesied for it in the Bible 2500 years ago. Pray that we will out last President Obama’s Presidency. If we get another left wing President, we are finished.

Tonight on The Hal Lindsey Report

Please join me this week for Part One of "2015: Prophetic Year in Review."

From the perspective of Bible prophecy, 2015 may be remembered as the year Satan's key project began to rise. Since at least the time of Nimrod, Satan has been laying the groundwork for a one-world government, with his man in charge. Through the millennia since, he's had successes and setbacks. But in 2015, the foundation became complete enough for him to begin building the actual edifice. The past year seemed to bring us to the critical time when Satan's one-world order got on final track. 2015 showed us that the Antichrist may not establish his power through a dramatic military coup or the takeover of a particular national government. Instead, it may well come through his control of a global, trans- and supra-national governing body. And we witnessed in 2015 the breathtaking birth of those bodies that may control the world one day. Surprisingly, a major culprit may be the Republican Congress that handed the President sweeping new powers to negotiate trade deals. On October 5, 2015, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) was formed by 12 Pacific Rim nations. It will be an unbelievably powerful governing regime that can change the rules however it wishes and there is nothing the participants can do about it. Though supposedly formed to regulate and facilitate trade between the 12 nations, the TPP Commission will be granted power and authority that is almost unbelievable. Here are just a few of the things that the TPP will have dictatorial power over: immigration, wealth redistribution, education, human rights, gay rights, same-sex marriage, gun control, health care, women's reproductive rights, abortion, sustainable development, pollution, wildlife and wetlands, and the authority to give foreign nations complete access to American markets. It will be able to punish nations with multi-billion dollar fines and punish individuals who organize boycotts against products. It is also going to make it illegal to mark a product as "Made in the USA." And its companion treaty is The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. Very little about trade, but a lot about global control. But in 2015, TPP was not the worst deal of the year. In fact, it wasn't even second worst. That distinction falls to the Iran nuclear deal. The worst international agreement of 2015 was approved unanimously by every member of the United Nations General Assembly. It is a so-called "climate" agreement known as Agenda 2030. Supposedly created to deal with climate issues, the agreement includes items like plans to "reduce... violence and death rates." And, "provide justice for all." And "provide legal identity for all including birth registration." That seems like a lot of stuff that has little to do with the climate! This pact will lead to the most extreme totalitarian regime ever conceived and, eventually, to the "Mark of the Beast." Very little about the climate, but a lot about global control. In 2015, Pope Francis jumped wholeheartedly on the climate change bandwagon. Throughout the year, he chastised individual nations that place their national interests above the common global good and stand in the way of international progress toward climate control. He thinks that's a bad thing. And he called for governments to cede their authority to a higher agency -- and he wasn't talking about Almighty God, either. The Pope has been hoodwinked by the secular agenda of those working toward a one-world government. He seems not to understand that Agenda 2030 is not about the climate. It never was. It is about the politics of the New World Order. In 2015, European leaders welcomed massive numbers of Muslims into their countries. It has now accelerated from immigration to invasion. And while the United States has been fairly focused on ISIS, al-Qaeda and the Taliban have been re-establishing themselves in Afghanistan. During the 2012 campaign, President Obama disingenuously bragged that "al-Qaeda is on the run." But at the moment, al-Qaeda is preparing to run Afghanistan. In 2015, ISIS proved that its tentacles now reach into much of the world, including the United States. I guess they are no longer President Obama's "J.V. team." In America, 2015 saw acceleration of the brutal new despotism known as Political Correctness. "Tolerance" used to mean "forbearance," or "to allow," or "to agree to disagree," or even, "to endure what you don't like." No longer. American schools today teach our children that "tolerance" means "full endorsement" and that anything less than "full endorsement" means "intolerance." It started with the issue of homosexuality. Children are being taught that if you don't endorse and promote homosexuality, then you must be an intolerant bigot. That same absurd thinking has now spread to the subject of Islam. So, to teach our schoolchildren tolerance of Islam, they are taught to embrace Islam. Ironically, the Muslim faith is the most "intolerant" of all major religions. And just before Christmas of 2015, Disney released the seventh Star Wars movie: "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." Like the original "Star Wars" in 1977, they are both extremely "spiritual" movies. They feature a spirituality that loosely resembles Christian faith. It's not real Christianity, but it is vaguely spiritually comforting. Revelation predicts the coming of a world religion. I'm not saying that it will be based on "Star Wars," but the mythology of "The Force" is one of many elements laying the groundwork for that coming religion. People are hungry for meaning. They're spiritually destitute. They don't know it, but they feel it. They are searching for something to fill the void. In the movie, one of the characters tells another that "The Force is calling to you. Just let it in." That's scary because "The Force" of "Star Wars" is not the one true God. And if you just "let it in," you will be in for a world of hurt. But in these last days, people are desperate to find something to fill the God-shaped void in their lives. The coming false religion will flood that void for many of them. Please join me this week for Part One of "2015: The Prophetic Year in Review." Don't miss this week's Report here Sunday. I want to wish all of you a wonderful, blessed, and happy new year. Thanks again for your faithful prayer and financial support during 2015. I pray that God will bless all of your endeavors in 2016. Happy New Year! God Bless, Hal Lindsey

President Obama Wants to Rule The World

Everything is truly speeding up, faster and faster.

The US Media are covering up much important news that affects all of us.

This is major, big new for me, the first time I heard this.

You have to realize that Obama will be like no other Secretary General of the United Nations before him.

The tyrant with a pen and a phone will rule with the same, and more, much, much more Imperial and Satanic arrogance as he has done from the White House. It puts into the spotlight Bible prophecies of the anti Christ who emerges during the final waning days of mans rule on earth before Messiah Jesus returns to rule the nations from Jerusalem. Since it's creation, the United Nations has always been at it's best, a failure, a weak form of Global government. I think that was Satan's plan all along until the right man came along! It has begun to grow sharp, independent, sovereign nation breaking teeth with Agenda 21 and many, many other global initiatives. Even Washington is now driven to dump the Constitution and submit to global governance by the U.N. Only one thing stands in the way now, Christian's with their God who rules over them instead of the elite, demon led and inspired, globalist UN masters and the false god they choose to lead them. The globalist elite know that they need a major catastrophe or two to really make their long desired totalitarian global government dream a living, breathing reality. I believe that will happen after WW III, everything will fall into place, including the one who has been prepared by Satan to head this emerging, extremely powerful global government that will crush all opposition. The nations of the world are almost ready to demand a strong world government and a strong leader to insure the survival of the earth, and usher in a draconian peace. A man with a phone and a pen who rules by self decree without need for the consent of Congress or the people is now in the open seeking such global power. It's becoming more and more possible that the one who is imbued with the pride of Lucifer might be the one. We can already see how he could 'deceive even the elect' with so many Christian's looking for their latest false political messiah to lead them to victory (not spiritual victory) in the 2016 elections. Satan sets a trap for the world It's hard to re-teach those who always run to the poisoned political well for solutions to seek the Lord alone. We will know soon enough! The crumbling, chaotic, war weary world will be in such never seen turmoil which will make it so much easier for the lawless one to take total control. The blinded people (2 Thessalonians 2:10) will be crying out and screaming for the devil himself to lead them. Ambitious Obama - KING OF THE WORD, anti-Christ, Islam's Mahdi ? “Wasn’t eight years of having Obama in office enough?” According to the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida, Netanyahu will make common cause with moderate Arab governments in order to sabotage Obama’s plan to succeed Ban Ki-moon when the South Korean diplomat ends his term as United Nations secretary-general on December 31 of this year. Netanyahu is quoted in the Kuwaiti daily as telling associates. “Eight years during which he ignored Israel? And now he wants to be in a position that is liable to cause us hardships in the international arena.” I do not think Netanyahu will succeed if Obama is who I think he might be. The thought of worshiping a mere mortal as God may seem foreign to westerners today, but try talking back to North Korea's Kim Jung-un. The Roman Caesars demanded to be worshiped as God, and that is where Christian's ran into big trouble with the Roman Empire. There's something about empires and the demand for the little people to worship the head of the Empire as God. We see that happening with Obama who decrees and everyone must bow to his will without question. The Constitution hinders him. This morning the LORD led me to read of another time when the leader of a great empire demanded loyalty worship or death. Daniel 3 A great chapter for us to understand what is coming in our day, especially with all the high tech, and near Omnipotent gear that the anti-Christ will have to keep his subjects in line. Obama has already begun to make war on the saints If this is the one the Bible refers to, then watch for Satan to give him supernatural abilities, craft to deceive and mesmerize the masses as wars and cataclysm fall upon the earth. Those under a strong delusion will look to their 'superman' instead of God for hope and change. It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain. If anyone has an ear, let him hear. If anyone is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the saints. Revelation 13 Daniel 2 And as you saw the iron mixed with common clay, so they will combine with one another in the seed of men; but they will not merge [for such diverse things or ideologies cannot unite], (Islam, Democracy) even as iron does not mix with clay. In the days of those [final ten] kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will its sovereignty be left for another people; but it will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it will stand forever. Let no one in any way deceive or entrap you, for that day will not come unless the [c]apostasy comes first [that is, the great rebellion, the abandonment of the faith by professed Christians], and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction [the Antichrist, the one who is destined to be destroyed], 4 who opposes and exalts himself [so proudly and so insolently] above [d]every so-called god or object of worship... 2 Thessalonians 2 I've always thought that the anti-Christ would 'come out of nowhere'. That may not be the case. There are some rewards for those who diligently seek the Lord, as He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him, and watch and pray. I think God's faithful servants will get a 'heads up.' The 5 sleeping virgins of Matthew 25 will not, in fact the door will be shut on them.

Chinese Immigrant Turned Citizen Defies Obama Gun Grab: "I Will Never Be A Slave Again"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/08/2016 22:00 -0500

President Obama knows that the American people have not embraced his radical, leftist gun control agenda. That’s why he took to the stage at a town hall spectacle hosted by CNN’s Anderson Cooper in attempt to defend his unconstitutional executive actions for stealth gun control, and try to convince Americans once and for all that he is not enacting some kind of gun grabbing conspiracy. But his “common sense” policies – made law under the force of executive order – and his crocodile tears for exploited victims of gun violence are not going to shift pubic opinion. There is clearly a line in the sand, and a bold Chinese immigrant, who became an American citizen by choice, is the latest to remind the government what it shall not infringe. Lily Tang Williams happens to be the state chair of the Colorado Libertarian Party and has made a splash with her January 5th Facebook post, which has now received thousands of comments and shares. Williams vows to defy all government attempts at disarmament, citing the authoritarian abuses of China, her native country. She declares, “I will always stand with my AR, no matter what my President signs with his pen.” Lily Tang Williams posted this on her Facebook account with the above picture of her holding a rifle against the backdrop of an American flag: If you believe more gun control by your government is going to save lives, you are being naïve. The champion of all the mass killings in this world is always a tyrannical government. Where I came from, China had killed thousands of the students by its own government during the massacre of Tian An Men square in 1989. I surely wish my fellow Chinese citizens back then had guns like this one I am holding in the picture. I am a Chinese immigrant and an American citizen by choice. I once was a slave before and I will never be one again. I will always stand with my AR, no matter what my President signs with his pen.

RADCON 5 Alert: Pittsburgh, PA - Officials In California Warn 'It's On The Brink Of Pandemonium'

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

The Nuclear Emergency Tracking Center declared a RADCON 5 Alert in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Friday as seen in the screenshots above and below, just the latest sign of radiation in America. With officials in the Los Angeles, California warning 'it's on the brink of pandemonium' in referring to the methane leak spraying continuous poisons into our atmosphere for the 4th month straight, we have to ask why the mainstream media isn't paying as much attention to the horrible carnage being inflicted upon our environment by Fukushima radiation as the event in California? We're happy they have finally decided to cover now that the methane leak in California has been called a state of emergency. We also learned about another horrifying story from ENENews that you'll notice the mainstream media continues to ignore, the heartbreaking deaths of 200,000 sea lions add to the massive numbers of sea life and wild animals that have perished in Fukushima's slaughter of our oceans. Telling us that most of the animals are starving to death, how long will it be till we remember that we, too, are only a part of the 'web of life' as are the countless number of dead sea lions, whales, starfish, tuna and the list goes on and on? We've long been warned what we do to the oceans and the planet, we do to ourselves, are we next in line? All News Pipeline has been constantly following the Fukushima disaster and the never ending list of deaths of creatures that live in the Pacific Ocean or get their food from it plays like a broken record. While we're happy to see that the mainstream media has finally invested itself with coverage of the methane gas leak at Porter Ranch, they're still neglecting Fukushima which has clearly been much more deadly and going on for much longer than the methane spewing out of the Earth in California. Is that because we can see the methane billowing out of Aliso canyon while Fukushima's never ending fountain of death begins its trail thousands of miles away and is invisible? Just ask the folks in Pittsburgh if they can see it right now! According to one ANP reader in the Pittsburgh area, there's nothing really out of the ordinary that they've noticed but did see chemtrails a few days ago. Yet we can see it on NETC. If radiation was visible like methane is, or it smelled bad or made us get nose bleeds would what's happening on our West coast and all across America due to Fukushima get any more coverage from the mainstream media? In the 1st video below, Arnie Gunderson, Chief Engineer of Fairewinds Associates joins the Sunrise Center in Corte Madera, California in a video called "World In Danger: The Fukushima - California Connection" to talk with us about how the 2011 Japan earthquake is coming back to haunt California, the west coast and America in a big way in 2016. While radiation might not be visible, the deaths of millions of animals and sea creatures in the Pacific Ocean certainly is and quite tangible at that - the stories excerpted below tell us a small bit of what the mainstream media isn't telling us. This is not an environmental legacy we should be proud of. This is not a pretty picture. First, from the West Coast.: Al Jazeera, Jan 6, 2016: In warming ocean, record number of seals and sea lions sicken and starve — Ailing or dead seals and sea lions washed up on California beaches in record numbers in 2015; this year could be worse… They are brought in with all sorts of problems: lockjaw, poisoning, cancer… But most of the record number of seals and sea lions washing up on California’s shores and being brought to a regional rescue center are starving… this slow-motion catastrophe is likely to continue. Dr. Shawn Johnson, director of veterinary science at the Marine Mammal Center: “They were basically just skin and bones. Their liver, their pancreas, their intestines were basically shut down. And they were eating themselves from the inside to stay alive by the time we saw them Laguna Beach Independent, Dec 18, 2015: With the lowest body weights ever documented, California sea lion pups are not only starving from lack of food, they’re infested with parasites and immune to antibiotics, said [Keith Matassa] the director of the Pacific Marine Mammal Center… A record number of emaciated and dying sea lion and seal pups is expected along local shores this winter. Guardian, Dec 30, 2015: Unprecedented numbers of dead or starving seals washing ashore as Pacific Ocean warms, with experts saying they are ‘preparing for the worst’ in 2016. Dr Terry Gosliner, senior curator of invertebrate zoology at the California Academy of Sciences: “We are entering a really interesting period where the observations we make don’t have a precedent… It could take decades for these ecosystems to stabilize again.” Fukushima isn't the only thing reeking havoc upon the West coast as we shared with you a few days ago on ANP, an unprecedented catastrophe is underway near Los Angeles, California as methane gas continues to spew into the air. With Californians becoming more sick, we get this update from ENENews and a few mainstream media outlets who have finally decided to cover this massive unfolding tragedy in California. Sadly, it takes a Los Angeles residential area to be 'on the brink of pandemonium' for the mainstream media to cover this story. The videos below explore what's happening now in Los Angeles and along our West coast in more detail.: Los Angeles Times, Jan 5, 2016 On Monday, plaintiffs’ attorneys sent a letter to state regulatory officials [and] demanded that state regulators “explain what is happening with the petroleum now surfacing.”… “There is a complete lack of information in the well files,” their letter says, “to show where the gas and petroleum migrates underground and the risk for creating sink holes and geysers.” New York Times, Jan 6, 2016: Gov. Jerry Brown, faced with mounting public anger and no end in sight to the leak, declared a state of emergency… Mitchell Englander, the Los Angeles city councilman who represents Porter Ranch [said] “This is one of the most disruptive, catastrophic environmental events that I’ve seen. It’s a truly chaotic crisis.” Newsweek, Jan 7, 2016: Sally Benson, who runs an energy storage lab at Stanford University shares a worry of many in Porter Ranch as they deal with the mundanities of the leak: that the gas plume will somehow become ignited, leading to [an] explosion… “They’re really fortunate that this one hasn’t caught fire,” Benson says… [The FAA] has imposed a no-fly zone above Porter Ranch “out of concerns that fumes from the gas leak could be ignited from the air.” Bloomberg, Jan 5, 2016: The sulfurous scent of a natural-gas leak hangs in the air as mail carriers wearing gas masks make rounds… “This is the biggest community and environmental disaster I’ve ever seen, bar none,” said Mitchell Englander, who has represented Porter Ranch on the Los Angeles City Council since 2011. “Life there is not on hold — it’s on the edge and it’s on the brink of pandemonium."

Evil ISIS fighters torture woman to DEATH for breaking Islamic dress code

SAVAGE Islamic State militants tortured a Syrian girl to death for allegedly violating the Islamic dress code.

By Jonathan Bucks PUBLISHED: 00:10, Sat, Jan 9, 2016 | UPDATED: 06:27, Sat, Jan 9, 2016

The 21-year-old victim was tortured by an evil female jihadi known as Oum Farouq - operating on behalf of the murderous terrorist group. The victim’s family received their daughter’s body but were left helpless because the Sharia Court supported the killing. A family member: “She was harshly tortured. We have received her dead body full of physical effects of torture. “The only judicial department in Manbij is the Sharia Court, which supports such crimes.” Under the draconian rule of ISIS - also known as Daesh - women are forced to wear a black veil and are not allowed to go anywhere without a male companion. The killing came after the twisted jihadi group murdered what is believed to be the first female citizen journalist reporting in ISIS territory. Ruqia Hassan, who went by Nisam Ibrahim on social media, is the fifth journalist who reported on the depraved death cult to be killed since October. Abu Mohammed, the founder of a citizen journalism group, tweeted that Hassan’s last words were: “I’m in Raqqa and I received death threats, and when Isis [arrests] me and kills me it’s ok because they will cut my head of and I have dignity its better than I live in humiliation with Isis.” The evil terror regime has also notoriously kidnapped Yazidi women to use them as sex slaves. Reports suggest than 7,000 young women and children have been kidnapped from their homes and sold into slavery in a chilling new moneymaking operation by the terror group. The women are largely sold to the Middle East as sex slaves while the males go into servitude. Over the past few months, the terror group’s coffers have been swelled by more than £170million as desperate Yazidi families paid ransoms to retrieve 250 women and children. etc. and the news story continues..

School graduates given tasteless leaving presents with NAZI swastika emblazoned on it

STUDENTS have been handed rings and tokens featuring SWASTIKAS as leaving presents from their school.

By Zoie O'Brien PUBLISHED: 17:13, Fri, Jan 8, 2016 | UPDATED: 17:28, Fri, Jan 8, 2016

Bizarrely the pupils picked the memorabilia themselves in line with the school’s tradition. But the grammar school in Rezekne, Latvia has come under fire with the city mayor Aleksandrs Bartasevics demanding a meeting with the school’s administration. The soon-to-be graduates designed the items ahead of their departure from the school in eastern Latvia's Latgalia region. A picture of the questionable memento was made public by one of the future graduates. Allegedly, the decision to use the swastika - arguably the most hated symbol of the 20th century - was unanimous among students. But the tasteless tokens have sparked debate in the area with some suggesting local citizens believe that a swastika is an ancient Latvian symbol. Others claim that for the last 25 years local officials have been trying to rehabilitate the idea of Nazism among the nation. Once a year, volunteers who fought with the SS Latvian Legion against the Russians are honoured with a march through the streets of the capital Riga. But it is unclear why these school pupils should have opted for such a hateful and divisive symbol to remember their schooldays by. Some Hindu groups have tried to 're-claim' the swastika in recent years to reintroduce it as a symbol of peace and wellbeing. etc. and the news story continues..

ADDITIONAL MILITIAS FROM OTHER STATES JOIN SEIZURE OF OREGON FEDERAL COMPLEX - Local Citizens Bringng Food & Supplies in Support!

Post by U.S.Reporter - Jan 08, 2016

Additional armed Patriots from other states have begun arriving in support of the seizure of a federal complex in Oregon! Local citizens are bringing supplies to the Militia and showing support for their protest against federal tyranny! Members of a group from outside Oregon arrived on Friday at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge to "secure a perimeter" around the compound and prevent "a Waco-style situation." The arrival of the "3% of Idaho" was the latest development in the situation outside Burns, where an armed occupation of the refuge by an Ammon Bundy-led militant group entered its seventh day. "They just keep an eye on everything that is going on" to make sure "nothing stupid happens," Bundy said Friday afternoon outside refuge headquarters. "If they weren't here," Bundy said, referring to the Idaho group, "I'd worry" about a Waco-style siege by federal officials. The group's website says it stands for "freedom, liberty and the Constitution. We will combat all those who are corrupt." The website displays the motto, "When Tyranny Becomes Law, Rebellion Becomes Duty!" etc. and the news story continues..

A village in the UK endures 75 days’ rain record with more rain on the way...Sheep are developing wool rot!

This winter has been the wettest ever in the UK but spare a thought for one village in Wales.

The village name is Eglwyswrw – pronounced Eglis Oo Roo and is home to 700 Welshmen and it started raining there on October the 26th last year and it hasn't stopped since.... The unlucky people who live there have endured downpours for 75 days in a row and with more rain forecast it doesn't look like it will stop anytime soon! It is the longest spell of rain in Britain for 92 years. Locals are becoming miserable with the constant grey skies and rain, the two pubs have been closed down and the local sheep farmers are worried because the animals are developing wool rot. etc. and the news story continues..

Secret Space Weapons Program Exposed as Ultimate Police State

Published on Jan 6, 2016 Visit http://www.DarkJournalist.com January 8, 2016

In this groundbreaking new 2016 Dark Journalist episode he welcomes the author of the amazing book: Chemtrails HAARP And The Full Spectrum Dominance of Planet Earth, Elana Freeland. Elana’s 20 year journey into the realm of covert geoengineering programs, whose goal is to create a dominant Worldwide Smart Grid to ionize the atmosphere, centralize control and institute an all-powerful surveillance state, culminated in what Dark Journalist calls “The best book ever written on these controversial subjects!” Elana’s investigation draws on the research of scientist Nick Begich and the work of her friend scientist Clifford Carnicom, the leading voices alerting the public to the dangers of large-scale Aerial Spraying and Ionospheric Heaters. Her penetrating insights into the controversial military policy of “Full Spectrum Dominance” and its ties to covert agendas for controlling the atmosphere have led her to secret programs that deal with Weather Warfare, Earthquake and Tsunami Delivery Systems, Nanotechnology, DNA Manipulation and Disaster Capitalism! In her research she has found that the advanced technology that is behind such complex and mind-boggling activities is rooted in the same programs that created the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) back in the Reagan and Bush Sr. era that was dubbed “Star Wars” by the media. The further development of this technology led to the project called “The Space Fence” in which all life on earth was to be manipulated and controlled from above through nano-sensors with satellites observing the action on the ground. From Smartphone Entrainment to Wireless Surveillance, Data Mining and WIFI Frequency Wave Towers, the public is now paying for the very tools that will be used to control their every move and monitor their every thought, phone call, email, and emotion. Through the news blackout of the controlled corporate mainstream media an average person has little or no knowledge that the air we breathe is being loaded up with nano-particulates to form the basis of a gigantic worldwide antenna that will be hooked into all physical, organic matter and feed impulses into an Artificial Intelligence infrastructure. Mechanized Tyranny or Creative Freedom? Will the Transhumanist agenda of corporate overlords merging with technology to dominate the earth and humanity come to pass? Is this the era of genetically-enhanced cyborg supersoldiers and controller attack drones funded by out of control black budget military programs and puppet-dancer politicians or will the exposure of these dangerous programs cause a radical shift in our 21st century paradigm? The choice apparently is ours. Intense, informative exciting, alarming, unnerving, controversial and shocking, this is the Dark Journalist episode you don’t want to miss!

Muslim convert 'who beheaded female colleague at Oklahoma food plant' to stand trial for first-degree murder

Judge ruled on Friday that Alton Nolen must stand trial on charges also including assault and battery with a deadly weapon

He is accused of beheading co-worker Colleen Hufford at Vaughan Foods in September 2014 with a large butcher knife

Nolen, 31, could face the death penalty if convicted and he has pleaded not guilty

Judge made ruling after witnesses graphically described what they saw in the 2014 rampage

Witnesses said during attack Nolen came into office and grabbed Hufford before making vicious cut across her throat

By Associated Press Published: 17:00 EST, 8 January 2016 | Updated: 23:30 EST, 8 January 2016

A man accused of beheading a co-worker with a large butcher knife at an Oklahoma food processing plant must stand trial for first-degree murder, a judge ruled on Friday. The decision came following a hearing at which witnesses graphically described what they saw in the September 2014 attack. Muslim convert Alton Nolen could face the death penalty if convicted in the rampage at the Vaughan Foods plant in Moore, an Oklahoma City suburb. Cleveland County Special Judge Steve Stice ordered him to stand trial on charges including first-degree murder and assault and battery with a deadly weapon. Nolen, 31, has pleaded not guilty and he was previously found competent to stand trial. Prosecutors have indicated they will seek the death penalty. His attorney, Mitch Solomon of the Oklahoma Indigent Defender's Office, declined to comment after the hearing. Investigators have said Nolen had just been suspended from his job when he walked into the company's administrative office and attacked Colleen Hufford, 54, severing her head. They say he also stabbed another co-worker, who survived, before he was shot by a company executive.

Why Germany can't face the truth about migrant sex attacks: SUE REID finds a nation in denial as a wave of horrific attacks is reported across Europe

More than 120 women were targeted in Cologne on New Year's Eve

They were chased, cornered and groped; mobiles and wallets were stolen

‘The men were all foreigners, and when we protested, in German, they did not understand us,’ victim Michelle said

German ministers say 3,200 migrants a day continue to enter the country

See more of the latest news on Germany's migrant sex attacks

By Sue Reid In Germany For The Daily Mail Published: 18:07 EST, 8 January 2016 | Updated: 10:26 EST, 9 January 2016

The exquisite sound of Cologne’s cathedral choir drifted out into the cool night air of the city’s main square on Wednesday evening. A Holy mass, celebrating the visit of the Wise Men to Jesus's cribside, was packed with worshippers marking the 12th day of Christmas in this fiercely Christian part of Germany. As the service ended and families poured out onto the pavement, an 18-year-old German girl called Michelle stood under bright arc lights nearby giving an interview to a television crew. She and a group of friends had been sexually attacked in the same cathedral square by gangs of marauding men a few days before, on New Year’s Eve. The girls were chased, cornered and intimately groped before their mobiles and wallets were stolen. ‘The men were all foreigners, and when we protested, in German, they did not understand us,’ said Michelle during the interview. She is just one of 120 women who were abused that horrific night in the square, which is dotted with bars, nightclubs and coffee shops, and is where Cologne locals have seen in the New Year for centuries. The men, speaking Arabic and seemingly either drunk or high on drugs, moved around in large groups among a gathering of around 1,000 male migrants and deliberately targeted women. The men easily outnumbered the 190 police officers on duty, who were quickly overwhelmed. In other cities across Germany, including Stuttgart, Dusseldorf, Hamburg, Munich and Berlin, where a tourist was sexually assaulted by five men right in front of the famous Brandenburg Gate, it was the same disturbing story. Nearly 50 women in Hamburg complained to police about sexual harassment by ‘North African’ men, who called them ‘bitches’, shouted ‘Fikki, fikki’ to indicate they wanted to rape them, and ‘chased’ them ‘like cattle’ around the streets. One victim there was a 19-year-old girl called Lotta, who’d gone out to celebrate in a chic dress and high heels with friends. While they were walking from one nightclub to another, they were surrounded by men of ‘foreign origin’ who separated the girls from each other. ‘I was suddenly alone,’ said Lotta. ‘Twenty to 30 men were standing round me … every time a hand went away from my body, the next one arrived. I felt helpless.’ Like her friends, the teenager was sexually assaulted, had her hair pulled and was finally thrown to the ground after the men had finished with her. In Stuttgart, women complained of sexual attacks by ‘trouble-makers with an immigrant background’ and 15 other ‘Mediterranean men of Arabic appearance’. When one group of young girls refused these men’s advances, their boyfriends were beaten up. One girl who fought off an attacker ended up in hospital with a broken nose and deep cuts to her face. The attacks have sounded the alarm bell in Germany over the consequences of mass migration. A country dogged by guilt over its Nazi past, it has enjoyed its recent role as saviour of Europe, welcoming in foreigners from the war-divided Middle East and Africa’s poverty hotspots. When the migrants began arriving in their thousands each day last summer, there were welcoming parties across the country. ‘We love refugees!’ proclaimed banners outside reception centres. Yet that warm hospitality is now being replaced by fear, as a society renowned for its good order begins to buckle under the strain — and to worry if it has made a mistake. Figures this week revealed that 1.1 million newcomers registered for asylum in Germany in 2015. Many more — including potential jihadists and opportunists pretending to be refugees — are suspected of slipping in under the radar since August, when German Chancellor Angela Merkel controversially announced she would welcome all Syrian migrants who knocked on the door. Mrs Merkel has since dramatically changed her tune, saying this week that she wanted to stem the flow of migrants into the European Union, while keeping all borders open. Yet the influx into Europe since she made her grand gesture shows no sign of abating. German ministers say 3,200 migrants a day continue to enter the country. Denmark began passport checks on its border this week, and border controls have also been imposed by other countries including Sweden and Hungary, threatening Mrs Merkel and the EU’s cherished Schengen agreement, allowing free movement between member states.

UN Chief Condemns Deadly Attack on Yemen Hospital

VOA News Last updated on: January 10, 2016 10:51 PM

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the missile attack Sunday in northern Yemen that killed at least four people at a hospital supported by the aid group Doctors Without Borders. A statement from Ban's spokesman said the U.N. chief urged a prompt, independent investigation to hold accountable those responsible for the attack on the Shiara Hospital in Saada province. "The Secretary-General is extremely concerned about the increasingly limited access to essential healthcare services for Yemenis. He emphasizes that hospitals and medical personnel are explicitly protected under international humanitarian law and that any intentional attack against civilians and civilian infrastructure is considered a serious violation of international humanitarian law," read the statement. Doctors Without Borders, known by its French acronym MSF, said the shelling wounded 10 people, including three of its staff members. etc. and the news story continues..

Russia Preparing to Launch Its Own Oil Market

By promoting its own oil benchmark to compete with Brent and West Texas crude, Russia may be able to insulate itself from manipualtions of the global oil price intended to harm its economy

Russia is hoping to launch a futures market for its oil benchmark, the Urals blend. According to a Reuters report, Russia has for years wanted to establish a rival oil futures market to the Brent benchmark, but Russian President Vladimir Putin is seeking to finally turn it into a reality. The motivation stems from the fact that Russia is forced to sell its oil at a discount to the widely traded Brent benchmark based in the North Sea. The discount for the Urals blend has averaged $0.84 per barrel in 2015, and $0.99 per barrel last year. But that is sharply down from the discount ten years ago, which often widened to as much as $5 to $6 per barrel. Nevertheless, the discount has started to grow again in recent weeks. Despite previous attempts to launch a futures contract for Urals, it has never gotten off the ground. Russia proposed a futures market that would trade on the New York Mercantile Exchange in 2007, but the attempt failed. This time around, Russia is determined to make a futures market a reality due to the low prices for crude, generally, and the deeper discount for Urals below Brent. To make matters worse, Saudi Arabia has encroached on Russia’s market in Europe, discounting its oil to seize market share away from Russia. That has created pressure for a larger discount for Urals as Russia tries to hold onto its traditional market. Moreover, Iran is just months – if not weeks – away from bringing upwards of 500,000 barrels per day of capacity back to the market. Iran had a sizeable portion of the European market before sanctions pushed it out in 2012. Iran is looking to recapture some of its lost customer base, which threatens the Urals blend with even more competition. etc. and the news story continues..

Oops: How The NSA Helped Foreign Governments Spy On The US

January 9th, 2016 | by CoNN

If you still believe that the NSA is all about guarding you from terrorists, or even securing the US against foreign intelligence agencies, think again. The FBI is investigating a recent security breach, with independent researchers believing that a back door created by the NSA had allowed foreign governments to spy on US government communications. California-based Juniper Networks manufactures the networking equipment that corporate and government systems rely on. On Thursday, it announced that it had uncovered a back door in its ScreenOS firewall software. Attackers were able to decrypt encrypted traffic that was sent and received via Juniper’s equipment. This announcement came during an FBI investigation into whether foreign governments were trying to access the confidential communications of employees at US agencies. Juniper is cooperating with the Department of Homeland Security over the matter. The Department of Justice, Department of Defense, the FBI and the Department of Treasury use Juniper’s routers and networking equipment. According to CNN, an official called it “stealing a master key to get into any government building.” While the US itself has been quick to blame the backdoor on foreign governments like China and Russia due to the high level of sophistication, Ralf-Philipp Weinmann (who is the founder of Comsecuris, a German security firm) wrote in his blog that he believes that the evidence points towards the modification of an existing backdoor that was embedded into the equipment by the NSA. Dual_EC is a pseudorandom number generator that Juniper and others use to encrypt traffic; the NSA is believed to have placed a US government-approved weakness in the system. Juniper was itself partly responsible- it had made an alleged error in the configuration of the VPN encryption scheme, which allowed the attack to occur. Of course, the NSA or its partners in the UK and Israel could well be behind the attack- they have the requisite know-how and resources, on top of placing an exploitable weakness into the system to begin with. However, a gamut of unnamed US officials have come out to deny that the US spy agency was behind it– according to CNN anyway. etc. and the news story continues..

Empires (Like the U.S.) Fall When Corruption Becomes Rampant

Submitted by George Washington on 01/08/2016 01:52

Widespread corruption destroys empires. By way of example, corruption was one of the main causes of the collapse of the Roman Empire: The Praetorian Guard—the emperor’s personal bodyguards—assassinated and installed new sovereigns at will, and once even auctioned the spot off to the highest bidder [and see this]. The political rot also extended to the Roman Senate, which failed to temper the excesses of the emperors due to its own widespread corruption and incompetence. As the situation worsened, civic pride waned and many Roman citizens lost trust in their leadership. The Ottoman Empire started its decline when the sale of offices, bribery and corruption became widespread. Indeed: Most historians point to "degenerate Sultans, incompetent Grand Viziers, debilitated and ill-equipped armies, corrupt officials, avaricious speculators, grasping enemies, and treacherous friends. The Yuan Empire (led by the Mongols) also collapsed due to corruption: The decline of the [the Yuan empire] was a result of a number of factors, these being incompetent and rivaling leaders, corruption, revolts, decadence, factional struggles, assassinations, external attacks, and disease. Toward the end, corruption and the persecution became so severe that Muslim generals joined Han Chinese in rebelling against the Mongols. Former history professor at the University of Alabama Larry Clayton notes: The [Roman] republic evolved into an empire and the empire grew corrupt from its own tremendous power. There arose, like mushrooms after a long rain, self-indulgent vices driven by pride and power. An oft quoted observation noted: “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely” wrote the English essayist and historian Lord Acton in 1887. Long after the Roman Empire disappeared, other empires, notably the ones of France, England, and Spain began with the conquest and settlement of the New World. By the end of the nineteenth century, European nations had created economic, military and commercial empires across much of the globe. Watching the rise and fall of empires is like watching a predictable ballet or opera, or even a Hollywood movie, all with distinct beginnings, middles, and ends, marked by triumph after triumph, crisis after crisis, and then the resolution of it all at the end. The curtain drops. The lights come on. The European empires lasted until the Second World War, and then crashed. We come full circle to our question, “why do empires fall?” An empire falls when it becomes so self-important that it loses touch with the values that produced it. They begin to think they are destiny of the world. There is a glowing sense of power that is irresistible, and those who get to the controls lose touch with the ancient virtues that gave their people their value and worth. Indeed, an ancient Chinese principle holds that empires collapse when: Corruption becomes rampant in the imperial court, and the empire begins to enter decline and instability. (Indeed, Bastiat showed that corruption at the top leads to lawlessness among the people.) As we've exhaustively documented, corruption is rampant in the the U.S. today. In addition, widespread corruption leads to runaway inequality. Specifically, one of the biggest causes of runaway inequality is that the big banks are manipulating every market, and committing massive crimes. Fraud disproportionately benefits the big banks, makes boom-bust cycles more severe, and otherwise harms the economy … all of which increase inequality and warp the market. These actions artificially redistribute wealth from honest, hard-working people to a handful of crooks. And corrupt government officials have aided and abetted this. Runaway inequality - in turn - leads to the fall of empires ... through unrest or revolution. Indeed, inequality was one of the main reasons for the fall of the Roman Empire … and inequality in America is much worse than in Ancient Rome. In fact, inequality in America today is twice as bad as in ancient Rome , worse than it was in in Tsarist Russia, Gilded Age America, modern Egypt, Tunisia or Yemen, many banana republics in Latin America, and worse than experienced by slaves in 1774 colonial America. Institutional corruption is also leading to a lack of trust ... which is collapsing the economy. Indeed, the U.S.A. is following the pattern of ALL past empires as they declined:

They financialize their economy ... going from manufacturing to speculation

They incur very high levels of debt

They overreach in costly military adventures

They become arrogant and lazy

They collapse soon after their peak

No wonder the American Empire is starting to collapse ...

Telepathy: Computer Can Decipher Words Before They Are Spoken

Written By: Richard Gray January 7, 2016

TN Note: This research project is part of the international “brain race” that was sparked with President Obama’s so-called Brain Initiative that he announced in his last inauguration speech. Using sophisticated computer algorithms and sophisticated wave measuring technology, brain activity can be translated into words before they are heard on the subjects’ lips. A ‘mind-reading’ device that can decipher words from brainwaves without them being spoken has been developed by Japanese scientists, raising the prospect of ‘telepathic’ communication. Researchers have found the electrical activity in the brain is the same when words are spoken and when they are left unsaid. By looking for the distinct wave forms produced before speaking, the team was able to identify words such as ‘goo’, ‘scissors’ and ‘par’ when spoken in Japanese. The scientists behind the technology said they can identify brain waves associated with syllables or letters of the Japanese alphabet, meaning it may be possible to decode entire words and sentences without the need for any of them being physically spoken. To ‘listen’ to the unspoken words, the researchers used a method called electroencephalogram, or EEG. This technology records electrical activity from the brain using an array of electrodes on the scalp to detect the brain waves. The team focused on a part of the brain known as Broca’s area, which is thought to be involved in language processing and speech. Lead author Professor Yamazaki Toshimasa, an expert in brain computer interfaces at Kyushu Institute of Technology in Japan’s Fukuoka Prefecture, and his team asked 12 men, women and children to recite a series of words, measuring their brainwaves as they did so. They found each syllable produced a distinct brain wave activity from the initial thought to the actual utterance. Activity could be seen up to two seconds before a word was spoken. Rise of the Brain Controlled Machines (Sidebar to Story) Forget joysticks and exoskeletons, the future of warfare could see robot armies controlled using just a commander’s mind. China has been training students at a military academy to use headsets that detect and interpret the brain activity of the wearer, allowing them to control the machines. At a demonstration in Zhengzhou, students used the device to send robots trundling in different directions. They were also able to turn the robot’s heads and get them to pick up objects. The technology uses a brain computer interface known as a electroencephalograph, which uses electrodes in a cap to detect tiny changes in the electrical activity of the brain. By training a computer to recognize particular patterns that accompany commands, such as turn left or turn right, this can be then transmitted to control the robot. The technology is being developed at the military academy’s laboratory for brain-machine coordination.

David Wilkerson America’s Prophet of Destruction

By Dr. David R. Reagan

The America I grew up in is gone. It is dead. And there is no hope of its resurrection. I was born in 1938, making me 77 years old, and when I was growing up in the 1940s and 50s: We went to church three times a week — Sunday morning, Sunday evening and Wednesday evening — and we had four week–long Gospel meetings each yearone each quarter. All but the most essential businesses — like hospitals, pharmacies and gasoline stations — were closed on Sundays. No secular events, including sporting events, were scheduled on Sunday or on Wednesday evenings. We had daily prayers and Bible readings in school, and we celebrated Easter and Christmas with special plays and musicals. We also used readers in our English classes that contained Bible stories. And at graduation time, we had special baccalaureate services where a minister would deliver an inspirational sermon to the graduating class. Every public event from court proceedings to city council meetings and PTA meetings were opened with a prayer. Movies and television programs were strictly regulated by strong moral codes. Our local, state and national leaders talked openly about God and their Christian faith and often led prayers, as President Franklin Roosevelt did on D–Day in 1944 when we invaded the European mainland. I could go on and on, but I think you get the picture. America was not a perfect nation. Racism was still rampant and materialism was gaining momentum, but we were still a nation that honored and recognized the Christian principles of our forefathers and the founders of our nation. And we were still very aware that our blessings came from God. The Radically New America The America of today is radically different, and the changes have taken place with startling rapidity. Incredibly, in just over 50 years since the decade of the 1960s, we have become a nation in full–blown, open rebellion against God. Today:

We worship the Almighty Dollar.

Greed has become our national motivator.

Sex is our obsession.

Gambling is our national past time.

We are the world’s largest consumer of illegal drugs.

We have banned God from our schools.

We have declared God off limits in the public arena.

We are teaching our children the fantasy of evolution.

We are slaughtering babies in the name of “freedom of choice” for women.

We have glamorized homosexuality.

We have legalized same–sex marriage.

We are in the process of legalizing marijuana.

And we have become the moral polluter of planet earth with our violent, immoral and blasphemous movies and TV programs. In summary, we are a nation that has rejected its Christian heritage and has replaced that precious heritage with a crude, paganized culture. We are a rebellious nation that is thumbing its nose at the Creator God who showered us with unparalleled blessings for over 300 years. Here’s how I summarized it in the new 2nd edition of my book, Living for Christ in the End Times: Coping with Anarchy and Apostasy:1 We have expelled God from the life of our society, and the result is an avalanche of wanton violence and immorality. We have lost our moral compass, and we are raising a generation of moral pygmies. The same is true of the raging apostasy within the Church. The term, Evangelical, has lost its meaning, as some who claim to be Evangelicals are proclaiming that there are many roads to Heaven and there is no Hell. A Second Reformation is going on in the Church today, but unlike the first, which was based on a call to return to the Bible, this new reformation is calling people to jettison the Bible in behalf of their own feelings and beliefs. As the Church grows increasingly weak from its internal rot, society continues to plunge into darkness. I would therefore assert without hesitation that we are a nation begging for destruction. How God Deals With Rebellious Nations I say that because the Bible clearly reveals that God has a definite way of dealing with rebellious nations. First, He calls them to repentance through prophetic voices. And if the people refuse to respond in repentance, then God will send remedial judgments. If the rebellion persists, there comes a point of no return when God will deliver the nation from judgment to destruction. America’s Prophetic Warnings: Peter Marshall Let’s take a look at God’s prophetic warnings to our nation. The first I would cite came from the heart of a great Scottish–American preacher named Peter Marshall. He came to this country in 1927 when he was 25 years old and died in 1949 when he was only 47. During his 22 years in this country, he went to seminary in Georgia and distinguished himself as an eloquent preacher. He quickly became the pastor of the prestigious New York Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C. in 1937 — the church that was known as “the Church of the Presidents.” In 1947 he became the Chaplain of the United States Senate. At that time, our nation was on top of the world. We had won World War II and had emerged from the war as the world’s most powerful nation. Our economy had been revived and was generating unprecedented wealth. Our potential for the future seemed unlimited. But Peter Marshall was spiritually unsettled. Even before the war ended in 1945 he sensed in his soul that America was heading in the wrong direction — toward a secular, pagan society. He unleashed his pent–up concerns in a sermon delivered in 1944 at a church in New Orleans. The sermon was titled “Trial by Fire,” and it focused on the spiritual battle portrayed in the Bible between Elijah and the prophets of Baal. He began the sermon by quoting William Penn, the Quaker founder of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: “Men must be governed by God or they will be ruled by tyrants.”3 Marshall proceeded to express his concern that our nation was getting caught up in the moral drift and confusion that characterized the ancient Israel of the prophet Elijah when that nation became captivated by idolatry and turned its heart away from God. Over and over in the sermon, he declared that the time had come in America for us to take sides — to decide whether we as a nation were going to follow Yahweh or Baal. Each time, he put the challenge in the words of Elijah (1 Kings 18:21):4 If Yahweh is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him. In the middle of his sermon, Marshall called for prophetic voices: “I suggest to you that America needs prophets today who will set before the nation the essential choices…”5 He then proceeded to speak prophetically:6Love of power and authority has enslaved the hearts of many Americans. The seeds of racial hate and intolerance have been sown. And we will reap a bitter harvest…Our moral standards have been lowered. And no nation makes progress in a downward direction…” He developed his point further by saying:7 We must decide and decide quickly who is chief, whom we will serve. Millions of people in America live in a moral fogModified immorality on the basis of cleverness guides millions of people. Modified dishonesty within the letter of the law is the practice of millions more. Surely the time has come, because the hour is late, when we must decide. And the choice before us is plain — Yahweh or Baal. Christ or chaos. Conviction or compromise. Discipline or disintegration.” Marshall then concluded his sermon with a startling proclamation:8 We need a prophet who will have the ear of America and say to her now, “How long will you halt and stand between two opinions? If Yahweh is God, follow Him, but if Baal be God, follow him, and go to Hell!“ The Cultural Shift That was 1944, and just as Peter Marshall feared, we as a nation became captivated by materialism in the Post War Years. This obsession, in turn, fueled a spirit of rebellion against God and His Word. etc. and the news story continues..

From ‘Heil Hitler’ to ‘Shalom, Tel Aviv,’ the many incarnations of David Bowie

A dabbler in Kabbalah and religious rituals, the British performer’s trend-setting career ended with the release of his 25th album last week

By Amanda Borschel-Dan January 11, 2016, 1:03 pm 8

It’s the rare artist who would study Kabbalah while portraying himself as an Aryan nationalist. But David Bowie, who died Sunday after an 18-month battle with cancer, arguably succeeded in both with his 1976 Thin White Duke character, an “emotionless Aryan superman.” Bowie later attributed his commitment to the character — complete with alleged Hitler salutes and recorded Fascist rants in interviews to Playboy and other media — to drugs addling his judgement. Once more coherent, Bowie retracted his much-quoted statement of “Adolf Hitler was one of the first rock stars,” saying he was high and “out of my mind, totally, completely crazed.” Interestingly, despite Bowie once playing Hitler Youth to the hilt, the Internet is rife with unfounded claims of his Jewish roots. (Bowie’s older half-brother Terry was reportedly fathered by a Jewish Frenchman.) That’s just one twist on the life of the musician/actor whose schtick was dipping his toes in Lake Bizarre. Whether playing Ziggy Stardust in the early 1970s or an archetypical blue-eyed soul singer for decades, Bowie’s prolific career was marked by innovation and reinvention. His 25th and final album, “Blackstar,” was released in the genres “experimental jazz or art rock” on January 8, 2016. “My entire career, I’ve only really worked with the same subject matter,” Bowie told The Associated Press in a 2002 interview. “The trousers may change, but the actual words and subjects I’ve always chosen to write with are things to do with isolation, abandonment, fear and anxiety — all of the high points of one’s life.” Arguably a low point in Bowie’s long career, the 1976 Thin White Duke era also produced some of his most haunting work, including “Wild Is the Wind.” During this period, Bowie, emaciated and drug-addicted, performed his “Station to Station” album in a politically controversial tour — which included a detention by Polish/Russian border customs agents for possession of Nazi paraphernalia. And that May, in what later became known as the “Victoria Station incident,” Bowie made a triumphal entrance into London in an open convertible performing what some eye-witnesses claimed as Nazi salutes. Bowie publicly blamed his behavior on drugs, and, according to Marc Spitz, author of 2010’s “Bowie: A Biography,” “One need not be an apologist (or superfan) to see how Bowie’s publicly stated and since recanted endorsement of Hitler’s charisma and the merits of a fascist leader overtaking Britain, while speaking with Cameron Crowe in a notorious 1976 Playboy interview, was the product of cocaine psychosis rather than any real fidelity to notions of racial purity or governmental insurrection.” It is one of the wild mysteries of the Bowie brain that concurrently with purchasing Nazi paraphernalia, the artist sang of Kabbalah in the title track of “Station to Station.” etc. and the news story continues..

“Nothing to do with Islam” – Liberals just don’t get it

January 10, 2016 Ray Starmann

Last week’s shooting of a Philadelphia police officer by a crazed gunman, acting in the name of Islam, shed more spotlight on the worldwide threat of Islamic terrorism and the continued denial of the threat by liberals. Edward Archer, a 30 year old Muslim, said he acted in the name of Islam, when he fired eleven shots at Philadelphia Police Officer, Jesse Hartnett, who miraculously survived the attack. Homicide Captain James Clark, confirmed the fact that Archer said he acted in the name of Islam. Yet, in another press conference, Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said in reference to the shooting, “It’s terrible and it does not represent the religion in any way, shape or form or any of its teachings. And this is a criminal with a stolen gun who tried to kill one of our officers, has nothing to do with being a Muslim or following the Islamic faith. That is abhorrent. It’s terrible and it does not represent the religion in any way, shape or form or any of its teachings.” No, Archer had nothing to do with Islam. He was dressed like a Muslim, and was yelling Allah Akbar when he shot Officer Hartnett. Islam had absolutely nothing to with it. Archer’s subsequent confession to police officers that he conducted the assassination attempt on behalf of the Islamic State also had nothing to do with Islam. Mayor Kenney’s outrageous comments are indicative of a trend among liberals to blame any Islamic inspired terrorist attacks on the Second Amendment, or anything else, other than the real culprit, Islam. President Obama can barely say the words, radical Islam, much less put the blame on ISIS. Secretary of State John Kerry made the ludicrous pronouncement in November, that the Paris attacks were illogical, versus the Charlie Hebdo attacks that in Kerry’s mind were logically inspired. How is the murder of innocent people ever logical, Mr. Secretary? After the San Bernandino shootings by Mr. and Mrs. Jihad, President Obama blamed gun owners, the NRA, the Second Amendment and only when the FBI put pressure on him, did he finally state that the murderous acts were “probably terrorism.” But, he didn’t say ISIS or Islamic terrorism. Obama and Kerry’s state of denial is only matched by Sanders and Hillary. Neither of those two knuckleheads can say radical Islam. Nor, can they come up with a coherent strategy to battle ISIS. It’s obvious that President Obama and the current batch of Democrat Presidential candidates simply do not want to fight radical Islam. And, that is a problem for all of us. Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany is not a liberal on paper, but her policy of opening the country to a flood of millions of un-vetted Muslims has all the reckless naiveté of traditional liberal policies. Several of the ISIS thugs responsible for the Paris attacks had entered Europe, posing as refugees. As more and more evidence accumulates about how dangerous letting these people into Europe really is, Merkel doubles down by completely denying the terrorism, the rapes, the petty crimes and the murders committed by Muslim migrants. Merkel has swallowed the basic liberal tenets of viewing the world they want it to be, rather than the way it is. What else does ISIS have to do to convince the left that they are out to murder all of us? ISIS has one mission, the murder of anyone who doesn’t agree with their twisted ideology and the implementation of a worldwide caliphate of Islamic evil. Their goals are not unlike the goals of the Nazis or Imperial Japan. They too, wished to dominate and control the planet and to implement the New Order on all of us. Thankfully, our parents and grandparents had the backbone to stand up to evil and destroy it. Where is such backbone today? It certainly doesn’t reside in the Democrat Party or with any liberals across the free world. Obama is willing to surrender all of us to the monstrous representatives of radical Islam. Unless ISIS is destroyed; meaning every member of ISIS killed or captured, every ISIS piece of equipment made inoperable or captured, every ISIS financial asset frozen, every vestige of ISIS eradicated from the earth, the shootings and the bombings and the murder and mayhem will continue unabated across the globe. And, as the attacks continue and the body count continues to rise, the liberals of the world will make excuse after excuse why they can’t take the fight to ISIS and radical Islam. The liberals of the world are nearly as much a danger to freedom as ISIS. It’s time for Obama and the Democrat Party to face reality. Until then, it will be game, set and match to the madmen of ISIS.

Statue of the Virgin Mary beheaded, Churches vandalised in ‘extremist’ attacks

By Pamela Geller on January 9, 2016

Destroying religious statues and icons is a righteous act under Islam.

“Churches vandalised and statue of the Virgin Mary beheaded in ‘extremist’ attacks,” By Chris Riches, Express, Jan 8, 2016:

DETECTIVES are hunting vandals who targeted two churches, beheading statues of Joseph and the Virgin Mary. Twelve window panes at historic St Chad’s Church in the Lancashire town of Poulton-le-Fylde were smashed last week, just two months after they were repaired. The vandals then turned on the church’s outdoor Nativity scene, decapitating a statue of the Virgin Mary and stealing the head. Within 24 hours, churchgoers at Poulton Methodist Church were shocked to find their 3ft-tall outdoor Nativity statue of Joseph had also been beheaded. The congregations of both churches fear the attacks may have been the work of anti-Christian extremists. Robert Sly, verger at St Chad’s, said: “It’s very disappointing especially because the windows had just been refurbished. We wouldn’t like any building to be vandalised but obviously the church is a special place for us Robert Sly, verger at St Chad’s “We spent around £13,500 on them. We have no idea how much it will cost to repair the damage. The screen in front of our Nativity scene was smashed and the Virgin Mary had her head knocked off. “Normally we don’t have problems with vandalism. We wouldn’t like any building to be vandalised but obviously the church is a special place for us.” At Poulton Methodist Church, the vandals smashed a thick window of protective acrylic glass to gain access to the religious display. Church steward May Gandhi, 69, said: “We are all extremely upset because we are trying our very best to make the place look nice. But we can’t stop people walking through the church so there’s really nothing we can do.  “The statue cost £135 to buy. What a shame it will be if we can’t have another Nativity next year.”  etc. and the news story continues..

'Disgraceful': CNN OpEd Calls For Martial Law And Obama Dictatorship To Seize Guns While Obama White House And The MSM Ignore Islamic Terror Attack Upon Philadelphia Police Officer

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

In the brand new 1st video below, we learn that a CNN OpEd is calling for a Barack Obama declaration of martial law and Obama dictatorship that will enable him to seize American's guns. Once more, we see a terrorist attack upon American soil being totally ignored by the mainstream media and Obama administration, who instead focus upon taking Americans guns, the means that Americans have to protect ourselves from the same terrorists that Obama and the MSM are ignoring. We learn in the 2nd video that the brazen attempted murder of a Philadelphia police officer by a man who claimed he did it in the name of Islam may be linked to a larger, 'radical group' of terrorists who are targeting police according to Fox News. We're also told that shooter Edward Archer made trips to Saudi Arabia in 2011 and Egypt in 2012 and police are looking into whether he had meetings or ties with other terrorist groups as well as looking into his online activities. We also get more information from NBC in Philadelphia where we learn the threat to police and against the city of Philadelphia is not over as the 'cell' Archer was a part of 'consists of three others' and the alleged shooter isn't even the most radical of the group of 4. How many more terror cells such as this, 2, 3, 4 or more person teams, are there in America? How does America get these people, who pose real threats to innocent Americans, off of American streets? How many more people who hate America are being let into the country every day? Why aren't they being stopped and removed? Since the shooting, all Philadelphia LEO's will be required to travel with a partner and with this latest 'tip' that came in from a citizen informant, police are asking that anybody who knows anything about this shooting (or has any information about a larger, radical group of people targeting police) contact them with the information. A Go Fund Me page has also been set up to help aid the recovery of Philadelphia police officer Jesse Hartnett which you can access here if you're in the position to donate. According to a police report obtained by NBC10, an anonymous tipster told officers that, "the threat to police is not over" and that the man who shot Officer Jesse Hartnett is "part of a group that consists of three others," adding that the alleged shooter "is not the most radical of the four." The report obtained Sunday goes on to say the tipster told police to "be careful.” Law enforcement officials confirmed Sunday afternoon that police did indeed receive a tip that Edward Archer, the man accused of approaching Hartnett's patrol car at 60th and Spruce streets Thursday night and opening fire on him at point-blank range, was working among a small group of radical men. Authorities said the tip came from a woman who approached an officer on the street. Police said they are taking the tip seriously and investigating, and that on Sunday, they were issuing memos to all law-enforcement agencies to warn them to stay vigilant as the investigation continues. They also posted on Facebook that the FBI is investigating the tip as well. With most of the mainstream media refusing to call this cowardly act a terrorist attack and Barack Obama refusing to address it as such, we also look at the 3rd video below in which Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio calls this shooting what it was: "clearly a terrorist attack." Why is the Obama White House once again not dealing with the reality of Islamic terrorism? How can we possibly defeat an enemy that our own commander in chief has no intention of properly labeling? Fortunately, some are calling Obama's and the MSM's ignoring the realities of Islamic terrorism 'disgraceful' - however, is it already too late? Another public servant has almost been killed and who really knows how many Islamic terror cells are in America? From Fox News: Edward Archer, 30, is accused of shooting and wounding Officer Jesse Hartnett while Hartnett sat in his patrol car. After his arrest, Archer allegedly told authorities he acted in the name of Islam. "Last night a Philadelphia police officer was stopped by a citizen on the street who proceeded to make statements regarding the defendant involved in the shooting ambush on Officer Hartnett," a statement from the Philadelphia Police Department said. "The citizen alleged the defendant had an affiliation to a group with radical beliefs." Philly police said they, along with the FBI, were investigating the claim to "verify the credibility of the information given." "The Philadelphia Police Department has alerted all department personnel of this matter and will continue to have officers work with a partner until further notice," the statement said. Soon after the attack, Archer reportedly confessed his Islamist leanings “He stated that he pledges his allegiance to Islamic State, he follows Allah and that is the reason he was called upon to do this,” Captain James Clark said Friday, according to WTXF. But the tip currently being investigated means Archer may not be a so-called lone wolf terrorist. Would martial law upon US soil and an Obama dictatorship to seize guns protect Americans from the terrorists who want to kill us? Of course not! All News Pipeline prays for the safety of Americans and our 1st responders across the country. Rubio joins in at the 1:45 mark and the topic turns to the terrorist attack in Philadelphia (which Barack Obama still refuses to call a terror attack despite the shooters pledge of allegiance to ISIS) at the 7 minute 45 second mark. Why are the mainstream media and the Obama administration still refusing to call this a terror attack despite the shooters own words?

Planned Parenthood Backs Hillary Clinton in First-Ever Presidential Endorsement

By Michael Gryboski , Christian Post Reporter January 8, 2016|10:32 am

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton listens at a campaign town hall even in Portsmouth, New Hampshire on Dec. 29, 2015. Planned Parenthood announced its endorsement of Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton. The endorsement is the first in the largest abortion provider's roughly 100-year-long existence. In a statement released by Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the group labeled Clinton the "best presidential candidate for reproductive rights, hands down." "Hillary Clinton holds the strongest record on reproductive rights of all presidential contenders in not just this election, but in American history. She doesn't just support women's health — she has been a proactive leader on expanding access to women's health care," stated PPFA. "We live in an era where access to birth control, abortion, and services at Planned Parenthood are under unprecedented attack. With so much at stake, we can't afford to have a president who continues these attacks — or who won't stand strong and fight against them, no matter what." Clinton has long been noted for her support of pro-choice positions. While in Congress she voted against proposed legislation like the partial birth abortion ban and a mandatory parental notification when a minor has an abortion. etc. and the news story continues..

World Faces Terrifying Consequences As

'The Panic Of 2016' Has Begun: Gerald Celente - 'These Are Dangerous Times Indeed'

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

With the 1st week of the 2016 financial world now in the books, we see that it went down as the worst 1st week of the year for stocks in history and as Gerald Celente of the Trends Research Institute shares with us in the 1st video below, as he previously predicted, the 'Panic of 2016' has begun and terrifying consequences could be ahead for the world. What will week 2 of 2016 bring us? We take a look around at the headlines from financial stories this Sunday and see that China's attempts to control the markets have spooked the entire world as a lead in to what has followed elsewhere and now we see some great news for American travelers (though not so great for the oil and banking industries) as USA Today tells us gas prices could drop towards $1 a gallon. With oil prices continuing to collapse at just above $33 a barrel now, we need to remember warnings given by Russian President Vladimir Putin, a sentiment echoed by investor Jeffrey Gundlach, that if oil prices fell below $40 a barrel, there would be 'terrifying consequences for the world'. You can see Putin in 2014 in the 3rd video below warning the world's economy would collapse if oil stayed below $80 a barrel. According to Gundlach: "I hope it does not go to $40 because then something is very, very wrong with the world, not just the economy. The geopolitical consequences could be - to put it bluntly - terrifying." Another story we'll need to keep an eye out on also comes to us from China as we learn a Chinese regulator has ordered some banks to limit their buying of US dollars in an attempt to stop the outflow of capital. We learn this move comes as China announces its biggest yearly drop in foreign exchange reserves on record in 2015. Meanwhile, Zero Hedge offers us a virtual smorgasbord of financial doom stories today as we learn Middle Eastern markets have been massacred as equity markets plunged from Bahrain to Kuwait while they tell us China's plunge protection team bought 1.8 trillion yuan in stocks in 2015 to help keep China afloat which leads us to ask, how much has the plunge protection team purchased here in 2015? We also learned from Zero Hedge that another Greek tragedy is unfolding as we begin 2016 - next week! Much more below including economic expert Harry Dent telling Alex Jones why he believes 2016 will be the year for the collapse and conditions worse than the Great Depression in the 2nd video below. The fact that crude now sits at $33.14 a barrel and is continuing its collapse while oil stockpiles around the world continue to rise speaks volumes. According to Todd Wood in a recent Washington Times story, the collapse of crude oil prices could cause Putin to 'surprise the world militarily' and with CNBC telling us last month 'the real danger of the oil collapse', we see these collective warnings coming to pass before our eyes. From the Washington Times story.: The problem is the collapse in the price of crude oil on international markets. Russia has failed since the fall of the Soviet Union to diversify its economy away from hydrocarbon production. In fact, its economy is now less diversified than it was during the U.S.S.R. The consequences of this failure are now coming to the forefront. It is highly likely that the price of crude oil will continue to fall, possibly into the $20 area, and stay there for a very long time, without any catalyst to send the price of oil back higher. There is just too much supply on the market and there is no end in sight to the deluge of crude. Iran is coming online with more production in the coming months to years. Demand is stalling in the United States and China. American shale oil has injected a different type of price control on the oil market as shuttered fracking wells can be turned back on at a moments notice without all the cost and time other types of wells require. The effect of this phenomenon is that downward pressure on crude is here to stay. The next step to prevent Russian social unrest could be additional military steps internationally. The axis of Iran, Russia, and Syria in the Middle East is an extremely interesting new development. As Russian military power and influence grows in the region, all bets are off the table as to how this power could be used. Could Russia acquire different oil production regions in the Middle East militarily? Could they stir the fires of conquest in an attempt to spike the price of crude? The one thing the world should have learned over the last decade about Mr. Putin is that he is unpredictable and not afraid to use military force when he thinks it’s necessary for Russia (and the men who run it) and he can win. The West is feckless against Russian aggression with no leadership whatsoever. Putin must know a new American president will be much stronger and will embark on a program to rebuild American geopolitical power. Russia therefore has twelve months to get what it wants to protect the Kremlin’s hold on power domestically. These are dangerous times indeed. The November 2015 story from The Street attempted to 'laugh off' warnings of oil stuck below $80 a barrel. When reading their warning excerpted below, keep in mind that oil is now at $33 a barrel and, according to some experts, is heading towards $20. Are we about to lose several sovereign nations to bankruptcy? The International Energy Agency has released its yearly energy report, including their projections on oil prices. As usual, their predictions are laughable. For the rest of the decade, they do not see oil prices rising above $80 a barrel. In their low-price oil scenario, they don't see oil prices rising above $80 until 2020. They ought to predict a global economic meltdown to go along with it. The consequences of that kind of extended low oil price that the IEA predicts would not only bankrupt every oil company in the world, but also several sovereign nations. You could almost guarantee a global depression as a result.

After record breaking heat, severe hailstorm pounds South Africa

Posted by Elena Ugrin on January 10, 2016

An intense hailstorm hit Johannesburg, South Africa, on January 9, 2016, covering the grounds with a thick snow like layer, a sight quite unusual for the summer period. An outbreak of severe weather led to the collapse of a shopping center in Johannesburg suburb. According to the local authorities, this was the strongest recorded hailstorm in the last couple of years. After being battered by several heatwaves, the Johannesburg area was hit by a powerful thunderstorm, likely triggered by an intrusion of cold dry air in the upper atmosphere. Hail stones the size of a golf ball battered the area, and numerous severe thunderstorm watches and warnings were issued by the South African Weather Service across the northeastern part of the country during the afternoon and evening of January 9 (local time). etc. and the news story continues..

Artificial Intelligence Is Now a Part of Everyday Life

Posted on January 11, 2016 By Megan Winkler

Artificial intelligence made significant leaps and bounds last year, including refined facial recognition software, hyper-specific mapping technology and experimental devices. Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the way we interact with technology and the world around us, and we can expect to see even more this year. We’ve reached a point in history when science fiction is turning into science fact: machines now can learn like humans. That technology is referred to as “deep learning.” Through exposure to surroundings, images and concepts, computers begin to perceive the world around them. Based on algorithms that essentially model the way neurons in our brains change when exposed to new experiences, deep learning is being used by companies such as Google, as well as experimental startups — including a company that used a device designed to perceive elements in the environment and relay the information via an earpiece to the blind. Deep learning has allowed functions such as Facebook photo face recognition and Skype translation abilities to change the way we communicate. Google uses this same technology in its search engine and in developing its chatbot, while Twitter uses deep learning to help identify pornography so users may block it from their feeds. How AI affects our lives In addition to making our social media experience better, safer and more delightful, artificial intelligence can actually make our lives better. Take IBM. Last year, the company purchased Merge Healthcare, a maker of healthcare technology for specialties such as cardiology, radiology, orthopedics, eye care and others. The data bank of Merge’s 30 billion images is being used by IBM to “teach” its own AI supercomputer, Watson, about the human body. It is hoped that Watson and similar technologies will be able to detect cancer and other maladies that professionals might miss during regular tests. Jeremy Howard, CEO of Enlitic, a startup that is also focused on medical image processing says, “You have to scroll through hundreds and hundreds of slices looking for a few little glowing pixels that appear and disappear, and that takes a long time, and it is very easy to make a mistake.” Enlitic is working to create an algorithm through deep learning that will bring even more accuracy to radiological tests, and ultimately save lives. etc. and the news story continues..

Amid Stock Market Panic, Dozens of Chinese Billionaires Are Mysteriously Disappearing

By John Vibes

Amid stock market panic in China, many of the country’s most prominent billionaires are disappearing without a trace. This week, Zhou Chengjian, the chairman of the clothing company Metersbonwe became the most recent wealthy Chinese businessperson to go missing. Metersbonwe said in a statement on Thursday that it would be suspending its shares on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and that they were unaware of Chengjian’s whereabouts. According to Bloomberg, as many as 36 companies reported executives missing from January to September. Just a few weeks ago, Chang Xiaobing, the CEO of the state-owned telecoms giant China Telecom, resigned and then went missing. There were rumors that Xiaobing was taken by police or government agents in a widening corruption investigation that is touching every corner of the Chinese economy. Back in November, Yim Fung, chairman and CEO of Guotai Junan International Holdings went missing, sending the company’s stock down 12%. Also in November, Chen Jun and Yan Jianlin, two senior executives of Citic Securities vanished without a trace. In October, Zhang Yun, the president of the Agricultural Bank of China, also disappeared, however, it was reported that he was detained as a part of a corruption investigation. Earlier this year, in June, Poon Ho Man, the CEO of China Aircraft Leasing Group went on vacation and never came back. He resigned while he was gone and has not been contacted since. Xu Jun, chairman of the department-store operator Ningbo Zhongbai is another Chinese executive who disappeared this year. It was confirmed by Xinhua news agency was being investigated for corruption at the time of his disappearance. Dozens of other wealthy executives throughout China have disappeared in the past year, many of them under different circumstances. It is apparent that there is a growing corruption investigation in which many of these executives are implicated. However, only a small number of them have been officially announced as being in government custody. With that being the case, it is likely that some of the executives have fled and are in hiding expecting that they will soon be jailed. It is also possible that the government is sweeping them up in the middle of the night, as secret police in dictatorships have been known to do throughout history. Also, it is unclear whether these corruption investigations are witch hunts, designed to place blame for the declining economy, or if it is a legitimate effort to keep bankers and executives accountable for their actions. There is no doubt that the government was involved in whatever corruption may have been taking place, but as always they are in charge of the investigation so it is unlikely that any government agents or employees will be implicated. etc. and the news story continues..

USDA To Grant $3 Million For Robots To Roam Farmlands

By Dan Nosowitz on December 31, 2015

Did you know that the USDA has a "National Robotics Initiative"? How fun is that? And last week the USDA announced that it's not just for fun: The NRI is getting $3 million to give in grants to robotics programs around the country to create robot-led agricultural advances. The National Robotics Initiative is actually a multi-departmental program; plenty of agencies are included, from NASA (duh) to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (also duh) to the Departments of Health and Energy. The USDA might seem a strange bedfellow with all those techie agencies, but robotics have been a huge part of agriculture for years. Just a sample: We’ve seen farms attended entirely by robots, a robot that can herd sheep like a border collie, a robot that can sort two tons of grapes in 12 minutes, and a Roomba-like robot that can distinguish good leaves (lettuce) from bad ones (weeds) and pick the bad ones. So maybe it should come as no surprise, then, that the USDA is handing out National Robotics Initiative cash to programs from coast to coast. The USDA announced these new grants last Tuesday, and included three promising examples. At UC Davis, robots will be used to figure out low-cost, high-efficiency harvesting systems for orchards. At the University of Minnesota, home of the honeycrisp apple, a grant will go to creating algorithms so owners of apple orchards can use off-the-shelf robots to pick, fertilize, and plant. And at the University of Pennsylvania, the grant will go towards figuring out new ways to use UAVs, better known as drones, to gather and analyze farm data. This kind of research is happening in the private sphere already, so the public funding is welcome: it can go to more experimental projects, or projects whose aim is something other than pure profit.

Unusual never before seen tiny jellyfish-like creatures spotted in the waters off Queensland Australia this weekend An extremely rare event has been reported over the weekend along the Queensland beaches, millions of previously never before seen tiny jellyfish-like creatures were spotted by locals in the water. Lifesavers on duty Saturday fielded plenty of questions from intrigued beachgoers about the rare event. Surf Life Saving Queensland regional operations manager Craig Holden said the organisms were reported at both Kelly's Beach and Nielson Park Beach in very large numbers on Saturday. However by Sunday, there were much lower numbers of the tiny, clear, match head sized objects in the water. For swimmer Hayley Nissen it was the first time she's ever experienced anything like it. Miss Nissen described the sensation as feeling as though she was "swimming in sago" and felt the marine creatures hit her legs as she entered the water. First she thought it was just sand. "I put my hands in the surf and pulled up about 10-12 tiny jellyfish type things in each hand," she said. "They didn't sting but I felt a tingling sensation on my lips when I went under the water." A life saver on duty at Kelly's Beach on Saturday said he'd never seen the creatures in the water here but had seen something similar at a number of Indonesian beaches. etc. and the news story continues..

While the liberal media is working on damage limitation as the fairy dust on its childlike delusions is blown away by the harsh winds of reality in places like Cologne, it is time for European nations to ask themselves whether they believe in their own right to exist. Just because post-WWII European liberals have been culturally neutered doesn’t mean that the armies of young men pouring in from Arab countries and sub-Saharan Africa have been, too. The liberals are in denial at the dissonance between their theses and actual reality, and engaged in damage limitation – or simply blaming the victims – to make up the shortfall. But rape and pillage – such as we have seen across Europe – is what invading armies do. It’s what our invading armies do – why should anyone else’s be different? The young men themselves understand exactly what’s going on, even if the fools around them do not. Meanwhile, the poor white Europeans are so afraid of calling a thing by its proper name, it requires second generation immigrants to do it for them. European demoralization The idea popular – not least among liberal Europeans – is that Europeans’ influence in the world has been an unmitigated evil. Associated with this assumption is another assumption: that any instinct towards self-survival among members of European cultures is evil, too. While it is true that Britain, for example, (along with other key European countries) had empires and some (perhaps much) of what those empires did was bad, none of that loot trickled down to the common man. The reality is that Britain has been run by a banking cartel since the creation of the Bank of England, and its indigenous peoples have been mowed down in their millions in wars to fill the coffers of the rich. Untold numbers were also worked to death in fields and mines. While that was the business model, the people were inculcated with a sense of ‘them and us’ – the clansman and the outsider – because it was useful to the rulers. Now, the ingenuity and hard work of European men is no longer so much in demand. The known world has been conquered, and the banks own all of it apart from a few hold-outs – and those are currently being bombed. But the main job was pretty well done by the end of WWII. At that point, a new doctrine was handed down. Under this doctrine, Europeans no longer have any business being tribes. Wars, naturally, were not the fault of the banking oligarchy which now owned the entire world thanks in the main to the labors and gullibility of Europeans. No, wars were the fault of the European peoples themselves. So, rather than peoples falling neatly into friends and foes as they had before, the world was Dale Carnegie-ized. The New think dictated that if you simply refused to acknowledge any sort of differences between your group and anyone else’s long enough, you could 'Make Friends And Influence People' until the world was a big, happy smorgasbord – all holding hands round a tree, singing Kumbaya and sharing a Coke and a smile. This, in essence, is what liberals believe. They think that if you pretend what you want to be the case is the case long enough, the lion will lie down with the lamb, and they will enjoy a nice vegetarian nut roast together. Sounds lovely, doesn’t it? Warm and cuddly and gooey. A bit like the denouement of a saccharin chick-flick. But it has a problem. And that problem is that it is complete nonsense. And now as you snuggle up next to the lion your entire survival strategy is predicated on the lion having read the same books and feeling the same way about what he read as you do. Even our rulers have to admit this, because every now and then they – via their owned media – fire us up with nationalism in bursts whenever there’s a need for a quick (or not-so-quick) genocide somewhere to take down a country, install a compliant central bank, and get that country back to handing its assets over to the banks rather than to its own people. Then tribalism is fine. etc. and the news story continues..

Why Are the Feds Keeping Ammon Bundy and Dave Hodges Apart By Any Means Possible?

11 Jan, 2016 by Dave Hodges

Earlier in the week, I, Dave Hodges, had written that to avoid a massacre of the Ammon Bundy led force, more people had to descend upon Oregon, or Ammon’s people had better leave. The more people and groups arrive in the beleaguered areaall the better for the Patriots, and that this would exponentially increase the risk of public ridicule against the federal government should violence breakout. against a larger group of people. Right now, CNN and FOX are trying to characterize the Bundy led standoff as an action led by half crazed radicals with nothing better to do with their time. The term, “Domestic Terrorists”, comes to mind with how the Patriots are being characterized by the mainstream media. Ammon Bundy Scheduled to Appear On The Common Sense Show 1/10/2016 at 830pm MST The Common Sense Show covertly scheduled an interview to air on Sunday, January 10, 2016 at 830pm MST. The interview was set up by back channel sources in order to avoid the attention of the feds for fear the interview would be interfered with. The health reporter for The Common Sense Show, Katy Whelan, was handling the details with someone inside the Bundy camp. I was interviewing Sheila Zilinski when her communications were taken down just prior to our bottom of the hour commercials which would have been followed by Ammon Bundy appearing on The Common Sense Show. Federal Government Interference Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, was right, the First Amendment is basically dead. The Common Sense Show has been taken down before by outside forces, but our phones and our subsequent ability to record and interview for the archives have never been impacted, at least until last Sunday night. After Sheila was forcibly taken off the air, I announced the following: “At the bottom of the hour, we are scheduled to interview Ammon Bundy. We fear that the feds will interfere with our broadcast as they have so many times before. However, we have always been able to record and interview and play it later on the archives. If we lose communications with our satellite provider, we will be posting the archives on Monday morning. The feds will not be allowed to keep the message from Ammon Bundy from going out.” These were famous last words from myself. The federal government’s takedown of the show was utterly complete and effective. I received a message from the producer, “I am phoning Ammon now”. Then there was complete silence. Because of the size of my audience, my show is carried on two separate satellites in two different states. They were both taken down at the same time. We also have a listen by phone option which is independent of the satellite, it was taken down. We have six phone lines which are landlines, they were all taken down. Nothing related to our satellite provider was left intact. This was an attack simultaneously carried out on multiple fronts. Somebody pointed out that the Oregon Patriots had been interviewed in the previous days. However, they were only interviewed by FOX , CNN and the other corporate controlled media. The Obama administration does not want Ammon Bundy to tell his story to a talk show host who will not steer the conversation into the desired propaganda zone. At the exact same time that The Common Sense Show was taken down, all communications within the Bundy camp were also taken down as well. There was not going to be any communications allowed between Dave Hodges and Ammon Bundy, if the Obama administration could help it. Where There Is a Will There Is a Way Rest assured, a recorded interview between Ammon Bundy and Dave Hodges has/will taken place and it will be played at a time of our choosing. Will the federal government completely take The Common Sense Show off of the air? Perhaps. However, it does not matter. I will distribute this interview to as many Independent Media outlets as possible. Ammon’s message will be heard, unless of course, Obama and Loretta Lynch plan to take all of the Independent Media outlets down. What is Obama afraid of? Is he afraid that the country, as a whole, will learn about how his administration throught the BLM and the EPA are abusing farmers and ranchers all throughout the West, and they are using Gestapo tactics to do so? My daily show is heard from 2-3pm MST. The Sunday night show is heard from 6-9pm MST. This interview will be played. Relevant Background Local, State and Federal Public officials from the Burns mayor to Oregon Governor Kate Brown to the FBI have ordered the now, so-called Oregon Militia to pack up and leave, but Ammon Bundy has made it clear he has no immediate plans to comply. At issue is the fact that Dwight Hammond and his son are serving a five year prison sentence for executing a controlled burn on their own land which carried over the nearby federal land. The act was unintentional and there was no damage. The zealous federal prosecutors wanted their pound of flesh after a local judge sentenced the father-son duo to serve less than the minimum sentence. That wasn’t good enough for federal prosecutors who prosecuted the Hammonds under arson statutes as they pertained to anti-terroism laws. This was a complete case of federal tyranny being visited upon the Hammonds. The Hammonds are not alone. Unconstitutional Federal Land Grabs Throughout the West The Hammonds are not alone. There are several ranchers in the area that are also having their rights abused. The problem in the West, with regard to tyrannical federal overreach is so severe that the notion of the State of Jefferson has emerged to encompass 20 counties in Northern California and Southern Oregon in which the local officials have declared they wish to withdraw from their state and form their own state. Why? Because they feel they can better fight against federal tyranny which is destroying the property rights of ranchers and farmers. These people have had enough. Ammon Bundy has had enough. Hence, we have the standoff near Burns, Oregon. A Force Multiplier Has Arrived In Burns, Oregon Although the III%’s are attempting to “resolve” the situation. Their presence bring a new dynamic to the situation. First, they are carrying guns. Second, if shooting breaks out, the FBI would not be able to tell them apart from the Bundy forces. This entire situation has the potential to get very ugly. The Common Sense Show will be covering these events as they break. Footnote I interviewed David Morgan last night before the show was taken down. David and I both agree that the feds are using this standoff to coverup something much more nefarious. It is a convenient distraction. I will cover this in tommorrow’s edition of The Common Sense Show.

Israel struggles to combat homegrown ISIL threat

Shira Rubin, Special for USA TODAY 6:10 p.m. EST January 11, 2016

JALJULIA, Israel — Israeli authorities are increasing security measures in Arab communities as a growing number of Muslims are signing up to fight for the Islamic State across Israel's northern border with Syria. The Shin Bet, Israel’s security agency, estimates that 50 Israeli Arabs have joined the civil war in Syria or are fighting in Iraq, and more may do so soon. The worry, as in Western countries, is that these fighters with the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS, will return home to commit terrorist acts. “ISIS recruits from Israel were not regarded as a problem a year ago, but the security establishment sees them as a concerning trend,” said Boaz Ganor, director of the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, Israel. etc. and the news story continues..

Russian airstrike allegedly hits class full of Syrian kids

Activists in Syria have posted graphic images of children allegedly wounded by a Russian airstrike in rebel-held territory near the sprawling, front-line city of Aleppo. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a U.K.-based monitoring group that relies on an extensive network of activists on the ground in Syria, said at least 12 children and one teacher were killed when a bomb dropped by a fighter jet destroyed a classroom in Ain Jara, about 9 miles west of Aleppo. etc. and the news story continues..

'The Problem From Hell': 'Doomsday' Passes Over America Several Times Almost Every Day - Experts Warn: 'There's Nothing We Can Do To Stop It'

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

Several times almost every day, many times every week, North Korean satellite KMS 3-2 passes over North America and the US. Capable of carrying a hydrogen bomb as detailed in the video below, we can see this satellite's continuous passes over America in the screenshots seen in this story. Called by one expert 'the problem from hell', we see this satellite often sneaking up on America from the south where we're told we're quite vulnerable as that is our 'blind side'. Now, we learn US troops are on highest alert over North Korea. Flying at approx 300 kilometers, we also learn in this extremely informative video that 300 kilometers is the perfect height for North Korea to release a weapon capable of ending almost all life in America within a year after the weapon is employed. You can track satellite KMS 3-2 at the SATFARE website here to see just how many times this satellite ventures over the US; maybe even right over your house. Before we discuss the recent 'mysterious' hydrogen bomb test by North Korea that ties right into this, we need to go back in time a bit. Back in 2004, members of the Congressional EMP Commission met with two Russian generals, Russia's top experts on EMP technology. The generals disclosed that Russia had a 'decisive new nuclear weapon', a 'Super EMP warhead'. The generals also disclosed that the design information for this weapon had 'accidentally' been 'leaked' to North Korea. Ballistic missile defenses (BMD) of the sort that we are half-heartedly pursuing are largely ineffective against an EMP caused by a simple nuclear weapon in a small satellite launched into low- Earth orbit. One reason for BMD’s lack of effectiveness is that our defensive systems face north and the Russians have admitted to us that they have not only developed, but have passed on to North Koreans, the approach towards launching satellites or missiles called a “fractional orbit bombardment system.” This is simply launching a satellite to the south into orbit instead of on an arcing ballistic trajectory over the North Pole, so the satellite’s first approach comes at the U.S. from the south, and would hit us with a surprise EMP attack from our blindside. The United States has no Ballistic Missile Early Warning Radars or missile interceptors facing south. Whether it is a ballistic missile targeted on the U.S. and designed to proceed immediately toward a target on land, or is the first orbit of a satellite carrying a weapon able to be detonated whenever the launcher wants, our defensive systems are not focused on such a southern-hemisphere bound launch. Even if they were, how could we tell if a North Korean launch of a small satellite contained a harmless communications package or a small nuclear weapon that could be exploded at any time over the years to come? This last threat described above is not merely theoretical, but may already be real. North Korea is orbiting its KSM-3 satellite over the United States, regularly passing over the U.S. from our southern blindside, at the optimum trajectory and altitude to place an EMP field over the 48 contiguous United States--if KSM-3 is a small nuclear warhead disguised as a satellite. According to Dr. Peter Vincent Pry, who you'll hear in eye-opening detail in the video below, the H-bomb recently detonated in a test by North Korea fits well within the requirements of a 'Super EMP', a device that could nearly instantly send America back hundreds of years and wipe out our electrical grid over a huge portion of the country according to this story from the Washington Examiner. In fact, according to Pry, the US is not only totally defenseless against such an attack but North Korea has practiced such EMP attacks against America already. Dr. Pry previously served on the 'Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse Attack' and his warning to us helps to explain much of the mystery that has surrounded this latest North Korean nuclear test that some experts said was nowhere near powerful enough to have been a hydrogen bomb test. We learn here of a 'different kind' of hydrogen bomb that would indeed have such a 'low yield' as was detected. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has threatened a 'merciless sacred war' against its enemies and as we learn here, a 'Super EMP' weapon would be much more dangerous to the United States than the most powerful H-bomb ever built due to its potential to kill off 90% of the US population - the masses dead through starvation and the collapse of society. Forget a massive bomb that could completely destroy cities; this one could be far more devastating to America. The video below takes a look at this very real danger and the very real possibility that it may be an EMP strike that brings America to our knees as we nearly instantly lose everything that we daily take for granted each and every day.: A big H-Bomb could blast New York or Los Angeles into rubble. But an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack could blackout the North American electric grid and all the life sustaining critical infrastructures for months or years, according to the Congressional EMP Commission, killing up to 90 percent of the American people through starvation and societal collapse. During their 2004 demarche, the Russian generals warned the EMP Commission that North Korea could develop a Super-EMP nuclear weapon "in a few years." A few years later, in 2006, North Korea conducted its first nuclear test, of a device that looks suspiciously like a Super-EMP weapon. Because the North Korean device had a very low yield, about 3 kilotons, most experts dismissed the nuclear test as a failure, despite claims by North Korea that the device worked as planned. However, a Super-EMP weapon would have a low-yield, like the North Korean device, because it is not designed to create a big explosion, but to convert its energy into gamma rays, that generate the EMP effect. North Korean overt nuclear tests in 2009, 2013, and now in 2015 all had low yields, in the neighborhood of 3-10 kilotons. These tests were hailed as successful by North Korea, but dismissed as failures by many in the West, despite warnings from the EMP Commission and others that North Korea is developing a Super-EMP warhead. There is a very real possibility that North Korea has now successfully tested 4 times a 'Super EMP' weapon that could be used to kill off 90% of the US population. In the video below we hear directly from expert Dr. Peter Vincent Pry exactly why all Americans should be concerned about this latest development. Capable of ending life in America as we know it, instantly, imagine life without any running water, without access to food through our automated systems, without access to transportation systems, without access to medical needs, without access to our communication systems, without access to sanitary bathroom conditions. As we learn here, conditions that even the most hardy preppers would consider a challenge. The entire interview is well worth listening but turns to EMP and how this would likely effect America (as well as much of Canada and Mexico we're told) at the 10:45 mark. If the electric grid goes down for a period longer than emergency backup power is available - as was the case e.g., for some electricity consumers during Hurricane Sandy two years ago - affected electricity consumers aren’t just transported back into the mid-80s, pre-internet. They are, rather, transported back into the 1880s, pre-electricity. Very few of us have enough wells, hand pumps, plow horses, and seed stocks to live in an 1880s world. The problem is not just that some things wouldn't work. Nothing would work. Not water purification. Not food storage. Not medical care. Not transportation. Nothing. Estimates from the Congressional chartered EMP Commission indicate that those killed by such effects could total, within a year, somewhere between two thirds and 90% of the U.S. population. Does KMS 3-2 fly over your house? You can find out here. Why so many passes of this satellite capable (when armed with a Super EMP weapon) over North America and particularly the US? Let's pray that Kim Jung Un cares about North Korea and the North Korean people as much as most Americans do about America. The screenshots within this story show passes over the US and North America this week, until Friday, and not all of the passes it makes over the US have been captured.

‘Pope Francis’ Calls for Collaboration With World’s Religions, Those Who ‘Meet God in Different Ways’

By Heather Clark on January 9, 2016

ROME — In his first-ever video declaring his “prayer intentions,” the Roman Catholic leader Jorge Bergoglio, also known as Pope Francis, called for dialogue and collaboration among those of the various world religions on Tuesday, asserting that they are simply “seeking or meeting God in different ways.” “Most of the planet’s inhabitants declare themselves believers,” he states in the production released on the Feast of Epiphany. “This should lead to dialogue among religions. We should not stop praying for it and collaborating with those who think differently.” The video then features clips of those from different world religions declaring belief in their various deities. “I have confidence in Buddha,” a female lama announces. “I believe in God,” a rabbi affirms. “I believe in Jesus Christ,” a priest states. “I believe in Allah,” an Islamic leader declares. Francis contends that all the religions of the world simply represent mankind’s diversity in seeking God. He says that despite the differing beliefs, everyone is a child of the same God. “Many think differently, feel differently, seeking God or meeting God in different ways,” he states. “In this crowd, in this range of religions, there is only one certainty that we have for all: we are all children of God.” The video then provides footage of the pontiff meeting with and embracing those of various religions, including Buddhists, Islamists and Orthodox Jews. It again cuts to representatives of the world’s religions, who now declare the same statement: “I believe in love.” “I hope you will spread my prayer request this month: that sincere dialogue among men and women of different faiths may produce fruits of peace and justice,” Francis states. “I have confidence in your prayers.” But not everyone is supportive of the Vatican’s call for unity and common ground. Mike Gendron of Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries of Plano, Texas told Christian News Network that the pontiff’s assertions that all mankind is “seeking or meeting God in different ways,” and that all are children of the same God, are flawed. “Tragically, those who do not know the Bible or who refuse to submit to it as the supreme authority for truth, will be deceived by the pope’s latest pronouncement,” he stated. “The pope’s assertion that all mankind meets with/seeks after the same God, just in different ways, is false according to the word of God. No one seeks for (the true) God (Rom. 3:11), but there are many who seek after false gods of their own imagination or false gods of their religious traditions. The only way to meet with the true God is His way, through the one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus (1 Tim. 2:5).” etc. and the news story continues.

Ammon Bundy Breaks His Silence with Dave Hodges, Hear His Side of the Story

12 Jan, 2016 by Dave Hodges

On January 10, 2016, Ammon Bundy was to have been a guest on The Common Sense Show.

The Common Sense Show interviewed Ammon Bundy and this time, the feds were not able to interfere. This interview came the day after the feds took down the communications of The Common Sense Show as well as the Patriots led by Ammon Bundy. Both the established contact with the Bundy camp and the facilitation of the interviewed was secured by the health reporter of The Common Sense Show, Katy Whelan. The show, itself, began as an interview with Sheila Ziliniski and we discussed some of the content of her recent book, The Green Gospel. After a great deal of difficulty, and two days of chasing this rare interview opportunity, Katy was able secure the interview and I was forced to terminate the interview with Sheila. However, Sheila graciously stayed on board and assisted with the interview. Mainstream Media Deception To date, Fox and CNN have been the primary outlets carrying Patriots ordeal 30 miles outside of Burns, Oregon. As one would have expected, the mainstream media (MSM) has characterized the Patriots, led by Ammon Bundy, as a bunch of radicalized domestic terrorists, when in fact, the opposite is true. And whenever, the MSM has interviewed Bundy, they have controlled the narrative (i.e. domestic terrorists looking for a fight with the federal government). The MSM has the substantiative issues connected to the Hammond imprisonment. First, the Hammonds had federal permission to conduct a controlled burn on their property. The burn did get out of control and drifted onto vacant federal land. Nobody was hurt, no structures were damaged. Yet, the federal prosecutors, in a case of prosecutorial abuse, tried the father-son duo for arson, but under the domestic terrorist statutes. How can someone be identified as a terrorist when they are carrying out a controlled burn with the permission of the federal government? This ignored, yet, undeniable fact, is why NOBODY SHOULD EVER WATCH ONE MINUTE OF THE MSM NEWS! American Patriots to the Rescue The MSM has portrayed Bundy camp as crazed men, hunkered down looking through the slits in sandbags just itching for a fight with the FBI. In actuality, Bundy described the workings of an office full of workers who are carrying out the work community activists, similar to the only job that President Obama held prior to getting into politics. During the course of the interview, Ammon made the case that the federal prosecutors violated Double Jeopardy when dealing with the Hammonds. He also made the case that the role of his men was to correct the abuses against ranchers and farmers by the departments of the federal government (e.g. BLM). They are reviewing land titles, mineral rights documents and seeing that these agreements are carried out. For example, he told the audience of how they freed the unjustly encumbered land of a rancher by removing a fence placed on the private land of a rancher by Fish and Wildlife. The fence was illegally interfering with the rancher’s right to conduct economic activity on their land. In fact, it can be said, the Bundy led patriots are the only lawful group in the area as these kinds of property rights abuses are being carried by the federal government against thousands of ranchers and farmers in the West. The goal of these illegal land grab federal activities is to enforce Agenda 21 dictates from the United Nations and vacate all rural land of private ownership in the West. These cases are so numerous, that there is no denying this claim. Mr. Bundy made the point that they are not trying to provoke a fight with the Federal government. In fact they are trying to prevent a fight. Bundy said in my interview with him, that the tensions are running so high that there will be a confrontation with federal authorities. In fact, he said that his presence has had a calming effect on the potential for violence between the federal government and the ranchers throughout the West. During the course of the interview, Ammon asked for people who have experience with interpreting land documents to come to Burns, Oregon and assist them with their efforts. He did not ask for 10,000 heavily armed men to come to the area. It was clear from the interview that the intention of the patriots is very different than what is being portrayed by Faux News and the Communist News Network. A Potential Landmark Development I have covered for a over a decade how Native American tribes are having their land rights and their mineral rights violated by the federal government on behalf of the Fortune 500 corporations who come onto Indian land and defraud the various tribes. During the interview, I presented the analogy to Ammon and he said that some of the Native tribes have reached out to him and want to be a part of this movement. Stop for a second and consider how dramatic of a development that this would be. Can you imagine, Patriots, Native American tribes, and American ranchers joining forces to fight against this federal tyranny. My friends, you could be potentially be reading about history in the making. To our fellow victims who manage tribal lands, this is the cause to stake your fortune. Nor more should corporations, or the Chinese government, be able to plunder the resources of ranchers and Native Americans. Pray for Ammon Bundy and his group’s safety. This is the best chance the people have to combat the evil forces of the United Nations Agenda 21. The Bundy interview begins about 25 minutes in the recording. This is history in the making!

A shrine to Hitler: The Nazi loving Austrian pub where the Führer was born is thrust back into spotlight with Mein Kampf release

Adolf Hitler was born in 1889 in an inn in the Austrian town of Braunau-am-Inn, separated from Germany by a river

The Gasthof zum Pommer would become a meeting point for Austria's Nazi supporters in the 1920s and 1930s

Eventually the owners would turn the room where he was born into a museum for devoted supporters to visit

After the war, the authorities feared it would become a shrine to the fuhrer and tried to come up with alternate uses

The guest house's future is still undecided as the authorities continue to clash with the inn owner's granddaughter

By Allan Hall In Berlin for MailOnline Published: 08:50 EST, 12 January 2016 | Updated: 09:21 EST, 12 January 2016

The scrabble to get a copy of Mein Kampf - controversially released this month for the first time since the end of the Second World War - has sent prices soaring to 10,000 euro (£7,521) a book. Just 4,000 were printed, but pre-orders alone topped 15,000 for the annotated addition of Hitler's inflammatory text, which outlined his political 'vision'. But it also told the story of his life - meaning one town which had hoped its part in the darkest part of history would be confined to the past may find itself back in the spotlight. 'It stands me in good stead today that fate should have chosen that Braunau am Inn be my birthplace,' Hitler wrote, sitting in a jail cell where he had been thrown for his political activities in 1923. 'That little town lies on the frontier between the two German States, the reunion of which we younger ones regard as a work worthy of accomplishment by all the means in our power.' Almost a century later the choice that 'fate' made still haunts this small town, stained by its close ties to Nazism and still stuck with one foot in the past thanks to an old inn, which looks almost the same today as it did when a baby was born in one of its rooms on a wet day in April 1889. etc. and the news story continues..

Gene-Altering Superweapons Could Make Humanity Extinct

January 12, 2016 by SkyWatch Editor

The future of weaponry won’t necessarily involve higher capacity firearms, more advanced bombs or better fighter jets. It will encompass an entirely new realm of genetically-modified (GM) bioweapons that threaten to destroy the human brain and cause irreversible genetic-level damage to the planet. This is the prediction of Russia’s Ministry of Emergency Situations, which recently issued a warning about the threat of geophysical and genetic weapons that it says will have the capacity to intercept virtually all levels of life, from microscopic atoms to large-scale systems. A combination of energy, electromagnetic, radiological, geophysical and even genetic weapons will have the capacity to literally change the way people think, which is a much more powerful weapon than simply trying to kill them. According to reports, these weapons of the future will disrupt not only economic activities like human movement and commerce, but also human bodily function. Assuming everything goes as planned, future weapons systems will have the capacity to literally alter human DNA, invoking genetic mutations that ultimately lead to chronic disease and death.

'We are heading towards a European 9/11': Counter-terrorism official says terror groups are plotting 'simultaneous attacks in various countries this year'

Europe is facing its own 9/11, says French counter-terrorism official

Terrorists are working on 'simultaneous attacks in several countries'

French official warned ISIS is recruiting Europeans for such missions

By Sara Malm for MailOnline and Afp Reporter Published: 06:25 EST, 11 January 2016 | Updated: 10:33 EST, 11 January 2016

Europe is facing its own 9/11 with coordinated simultaneous attacks in several major cities in the coming year, a French counter-terrorism expert warns. The counter-terrorism official said November's attacks in Paris, in which 130 people were killed, and 352 were injured by ISIS jihadists, could be the start of a calculated campaign. The French official, speaking on condition of anonymity, has said: 'Unfortunately, I think 2015 was nothing. 'We are moving towards a European 9/11: simultaneous attacks on the same day in several countries, several places. A very coordinated thing. We know the terrorists are working on this.' The official added that ISIS is recruiting and training Europeans 'with the goal of sending them back to hit their countries of origin'. 'They have the necessary false documents, the mastery of the language, the sites, the weapons. We stop a lot of them, but it must be recognised that we are overwhelmed. Some will get through - some already have.' Recent arrests of jihadists returning from Syria and Iraq have added to concerns, he said. 'The profiles are changing. We are seeing ultra-radical guys return, very battle-hardened, who should have stayed over there. etc. and the news story continues..

Oregon Victory – Judge and 2 US Marshals in Route to Restore Constitutional Rule of Law

By Voice of Reason · Tuesday, January 12th, 2016

It has already been reported that a large group of heavily armed men from the Pacific Patriot Network showed up at the Bundy Militia’s camp In Oregon with the intention of hand delivering Bundy's Articles Of Resolution to FBI themselves, and In the video below, you are about to see the beginning stages of what could turn out to be a truly historic victory for the Bundy Militia. Saturday morning, after a meeting with the Occupiers at the Refuge, approximately 15-20 vehicles loaded up with members of the Pacific Patriot Network rolled out of the federal refuge and and went straight out to the Burns Airport where the FBI Compound and Headquarters was located. They rolled up armed with sidearms just outside the main building at the airport and exited their vehicles to walk over to the building to engage the FBI officers. Almost immediately, as seen in the video, about 8-10 federal officers exited the building in full tactical “battle rattle” and moved to surround the approaching group. Brandon Curtiss, of the Idaho 3% and the others, immediately sought to defuse the tension by extending hands, taking a non-threatening stance and showing their peaceful intent. By engaging in friendly dialogue, the group continued to calm and assuage the officers standing guard at the front of the FBI compound. The PPN group then proceeded to present and discuss the “Articles of Resolution” they had drawn up as negotiating points between the federal government and the Occupiers at the Refuge.

Scientists push for new wave of eugenics with genome testing for all newborns

Tuesday, January 12, 2016 by: J. D. Heyes

(NaturalNews) Soon, doctors and scientists expect to begin controversial genome sequencing of healthy newborn babies, part of a research program funded by the federal government on behalf of genetic science. As reported by The Wall Street Journal, the research will be conducted at major hospitals and health institutions around the country. The project "stems from a growing recognition that genome sequencing could someday be part of routine testing done on every baby," the paper said in its online edition. That kind of testing, backers say, will give doctors and parents lots of information which could reveal a wider range of possible risks to their children's health later in life -- much more so than the current traditional heel-prick test in which blood is taken from a small number of newborns to check for dozens of potential health issues. "All of medicine is genomic medicine" As further reported by the WSJ: Genome sequencing of infants also someday could provide people with a genetic blueprint to carry through life. The data could be used years later to help develop personalized medical treatment, such as choosing the most effective asthma medication. "We are entering an era where all of medicine is genomic medicine," Robert C. Green, a geneticist and researcher at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston -- a participant in the government program -- told the paper. "In the next five to 10 years, as costs come down and interpretation is more established, it will increasingly be to everyone's advantage to have sequencing information integrated into their care." Supporters of the project note that identifying diseases early on can save a child's life or at least lead to treatments and interventions that could change the progression of the disorder. Scientists say that whole genome or whole exome sequencing, the latter of which concentrates on the 1-2 percent of the genome believed responsible for the bulk of genetic disorders, can help find mutations that are linked to some diseases. Already there are some medical facilities that perform sequencing on a fraction of newborns who demonstrate signs of sickness or developmental problems. That limited sequencing has nonetheless provided doctors with information that they can use to treat underlying conditions. There are a number of issues and questions surrounding genome sequencing in newborns, however. Most of the human genome is shrouded in mystery, and there is no guarantee that, once it is fully sequenced, doctors will have the capacity to utilize and interpret data provided by the sequencing. Also, there is an added expense factor to consider. Traditional heel-prick testing costs about $25; while the price of genome sequencing has dropped dramatically, it still costs $1,000 or more. Some families don't want to know And finally, there are ethical considerations: Should physicians inform parents of test results which reveal that their newborn baby has some mutations that doctors are not even certain will cause problems later in life? Indeed, some families have expressed concerns and discomfort with genetic information and as such have opted out of having their newborns tested (the program is voluntary, WSJ notes). However, if the sequencing process were to become universal for newborns, "there will need to be population-wide education and acceptance, which I foresee will take longer than solving the technical problems," Joshua E. Petrikin, director of neonatal genomics at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo. -- which obtained federal funding to study sequencing in sick newborns -- told the paper. Last year, the National Institutes of Health awarded $25 million in total to four projects aimed at examining separate aspects of sequencing genes in newborns. Additional institutions participating in the project include the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of California, San Francisco, the latter of which will "sequence previous heel-prick samples with the aim of improving the accuracy of newborn screening," the WSJ reported.

The China Syndrome: The Coming Global Financial Meltdown

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/11/2016 17:35 -0500

The 1979 film The China Syndrome took its name from the darkly humorous notion that a nuclear reactor meltdown in the U.S. would burn straight through the Earth to China.

(wikipedia: The China Syndrome)

In today's world, the financial meltdown in China has burned straight through the global financial system to the U.S. financial markets. The mainstream financial media is delighted to promote the many links between the U.S. and Chinese economies when the two economies are feeding each other's expansion in a tightly coupled virtuous cycle. But once China's slowdown starts impacting the American economy, the mainstream financial media trundles out the usual pundit suspects to declare that the U.S. and Chinese economies are decoupled, so a meltdown in China will have little impact on America--and vice versa. The rationalizations for this decoupling are many--and specious. Exports are actually only 10% of China's economy, we're assured, so any slowdown in China will be modest and of little relevance to the U.S. economy. Various experts also assure us that China's vast stash of foreign reserves and U.S. Treasuries will enable it to quickly smooth over any spot of bother in its currency (RMB/yuan) resulting from capital flight out of China. None of these rationalizations change the fact that China is integral to the global financial markets, and so its slowdown and capital flight are toppling carry trade and other risk-off financial dominoes. China is tightly coupled to the U.S. and global economies via capital flows and supply/demand. It's important to understand that demand drives profits on the margins: of ten sales, the first nine sales just cover production and overhead costs; only the last sale generates substantial profits. China has provided marginal demand in everything from iron to oil to machine tools. Now that China's demand is faltering, global demand is weakening and profits are collapsing because China provided the critical marginal demand that fueled immense profits. This decline in marginal demand is crushing commodity-based economies and triggering recessions as profits, sales and wages all decline. The tidal wave of cash flooding out of China has provided marginal demand for high-priced real estate in Europe and the U.S. From London flats to Chateaux in France to single family homes in Vancouver B.C. and Southern California, trillions of yuan have escaped China and flowed into pricey real estate, pushing prices into the stratosphere. Now that trillions of yuan of phantom wealth are disappearing in China, those immense capital flows into Western assets are drying up. A staggering percentage of China's household wealth is tied up in illiquid and overvalued real estate. The wealth that is yet to be lost as China's markets transmit the reality that the fuel of financialization has been consumed and the resulting losses will be in the trillions of dollars, not yuan. The fundamental context is that China's economy has traced out an S-Curve--as have previous fast-developing nations such as Japan and South Korea. The S-Curve can be likened to a rocket's trajectory: first, there's an ignition phase, as the fuel of financialization and untapped productive capacity is ignited. The boost phase may last for several decades as credit-fueled production and consumption expand: In the boost phase, investors and leaders can do no wrong. The high growth rate of credit and production overwhelms all other factors, as the virtuous cycle of expanding profits and production increases wages which then support further expansion of credit and consumption which then supports more production, and so on. But then the fuel of financialization is consumed, and the previously fast-growing economy coasts on momentum. Depending on how much leverage, corruption and wealth has piled up in the boost phase, this phase may last a few years. This is the top of the S-Curve. As the economy weakens, the momentum is to the downside. Everything that worked in the boost phase--every investor and leader was a genius and could do no wrong--reverses: nothing works any more. Investors lose every bet and leaders' efforts to reverse the decline are ham-handed failures. This decline is inevitable in fast-expanding economies that play fast and loose with credit/debt and leverage. All the phantom wealth piled up in China's boost phase is now melting down, and the China Syndrome will trigger a meltdown in global phantom assets.

Are You Prepared For World War Three? When that defining moment finally comes, will you have the time to remember what you could have done to stop it?

Let’s pretend, just for the moment, that this is a hypothetical question.

Let’s pretend, just for argument’s sake, in the comfort of your own easy chair, in front of your own big screen TV, just a few easy steps away from your favorite, anxiety-reducing snacks in your refrig, that this is just an academic exercise in geopolitical and psychological speculation, a polite brainstorming session that imaginary participants might conduct if certain coincidental worst case scenarios were to come to pass … all at the same time. And let us acknowledge, in the calm certainty of our own typically secure routines, that any resemblance of this imaginary debate to actual persons and events living or dead may not be purely coincidental. OK? Got it? Pretend it’s hypothetical. Just for fun. Then let’s begin. Also read: Ron Paul: Oregon Standoff of Citizens for Constitutional Freedom a Sign of Things to Come? Are you ready for World War Three? What kind of pathetic paranoid poppycock is that? What IS this? Another Y2K drill? Much ado about nothing, I think. Remember. You’re pretending it’s hypothetical. You agreed. Oh, all right. Let’s see. Mmmmmm …. of course I’m not ready. Nobody is ready for World War Three. You CAN’T get ready for that. What will you do when it happens? Sit here and be vaporized, I guess. What could anybody do? So … does that mean you’re not ready? Of course I’m not ready for World War Three! Is anybody ready for World War Three? Yes, I think there are some people who are ready? Oh yeah? Who? Well, three types of groups, at least. First, there are the people who are already victims of major wars, the people in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Serbia, Colombia, not to mention Burma, the Philippines, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Congo, and certain other countries, people who are already scavenging in often-radioactive garbage dumps just to make ends meet; many of their relatives or children have already been killed by invaders, and they’re just living hand to mouth, not caring whether the food they eat or the things they find might be radioactive or not, because when your expected life span is only a few more weeks or months, you don’t much care about those things. Survival becomes a day-by-day operation. If the superpowers who have these weapons destroy themselves by using them, that would be good news for the folks routinely diving in dumpsters. Second, there are the people who plan and wish to execute nuclear wars. They have already built themselves secure bunkers miles beneath the earth’s surface. There are many in the U.S. and Europe. The figure they can ride it out, and they have a new, secret technology that actually detoxifies radioactive contamination, but they’re keeping it under wraps until after the Big One so then they can come out when the coast is clear and continue making scads of money doing two things: cleaning up radioactive rubble and repossessing real estate whose owners have been obliterated, are slowly and agonizingly died of radiation poisoning, or simply have scampered off to more hospitable climes. Related: World War 3: Russia Is Officially Ready And Can Destroy New York In 18 Minutes Third, there are the people who saw it coming and had the foresight to move to remote locations in the Southern Hemisphere. As long as widespread nuclear explosions didn’t trigger a pole shift, those in the lower Southern Hemisphere would be relatively safe from the nuclear winter that will follow World War Three and render the entire Northern Hemisphere completely uninhabitable. The winds in the world are pretty much hemisphere specific, so that the winds that blow around the world in the Northern Hemisphere don’t cross over into the southern, and vice versa, although with the magnitude and volume of these explosions in all-out nuclear war, there is bound to be some crossover. Humph. Sonofagun. You have this all worked out, don’t you? What will you do when it actually happens? When what actually happens? When World War Three actually happens. How will I find out about it? Well, there are several ways you could find out about it. If you lived in an urban area like New York or Beijing or Cairo or Teheran, you’d probably find out about it when you saw a flash of light brighter than anything you’ve ever imagined, but it would last for only a millisecond and then you’d see nothing ever again. If, like most people, you lived in towns moderately close to these cities, you’d probably feel these humongous thumps and wonder why your house was disintegrating all around you. If you lived way out in the sticks you’d start to see these radiant atmospheric flashes, feel relatively gentle ground tremors, and then in a few hours you’d see a smoky blackness creeping toward youI from the direction of the cities that would grow blacker and blacker as the hours passed. Depending on each person’s individual perceptual skills, it would be a matter of minutes or hours before you realized you would never see the sun again, because you will never survive the abject cold that would be produced by the sun being blotted out for probably from five to 15 years, except, as I said before, in extremely lucky places in the way Southern Hemisphere. Didn’t you ever wonder why all those Israelis are buying up huge chunks of real estate in Patagonia? You mean I won’t see something on television and be able to briefly feel a pang of remorse about someone else being killed far away, and then be able to put it out of my mind so I could watch Monday Night Football with my usual intense focus? Not likely. Here’s a variation on the initial question. What would you do if you got information that you really believed and trusted that World War Three was about to start in a few months? What steps would you take to prepare yourself? How would I know I could trust the information? Well, you’d hear it from the sources you always trusted. Your newspapers, your TV, maybe even from some particularly reliable Internet site. But would I believe it? Would I be willing to give up everything I’ve worked for all my life, and just bolt into the wild blue yonder because I read something some journalist, no matter how well connected, might have just dreamed up? Well, let’s say you had an inside source in the secret government, and he told you about the plan. Let’s say you regarded it as having the authenticity of all those insider stock tips he’d given you over the years that had made you a bundle. Someone who could discourse effortlessly on Masonic kingpin Albert Pike’s 1871 prediction that there would be THREE World Wars and final one would begin in the Middle East and erase both Zionized Christendom and Islamic world in one mighty stroke. And someone who had scary connections with alphabet intelligence agencies. Must read: The Consequences Of A Large Nuclear War, WW 3 Yes, I see. What would I do? Hmmm. Would you run, or would you try to alert others? Oh dogbiscuits! You know what it’s like to tell people that you really know what’s going on, and that they don’t. They think you’ve got marbles rattling around in your brain, and they just ignore you, at best. At worst, they call Homeland Security and the men in the little white coats with the large guns show up at your door. At least, you become socially ostracized for not going along with what everybody else believes. So which would you do? Well, I guess I’d try to find out if the tip was real or not, and if I determined it WAS real, I’d try to alert the most important people I know to see if they could do something about it. What would make you decide if the tip was real or not? Well, our best sources are on TV, I think. At least that’s what everybody believes. Most people don’t believe something is really real unless they see it on television. So you’re saying that what you see on TV is actually real? No, I’m not that naive. I know stuff that appears on the news is often shaded by those who own the TV networks to inflict the spin they want to put on most world events. Hell, that’s how we got in all those wars. So what if someone on TV, highly reputable, came on and predicted all-out nuclear war? Would you act on that? Probably not. I wouldn’t believe him. OK, say you were certain of the tip you received being real. Then what would you do? I’d call the police, then my congressperson. And what would you do if they all said you were nuts? And then they said they knew who the bad guys really were, because they had this evidence that they couldn’t really tell you about because of National Security, but they were going to nuke them all to smithereens. I don’t know. Cry? Or run into the street screaming. Also read: Be Prepared, The Sides Are Forming for the Coming Civil War OK, one more question. If you had the power to impact a large number of people and the money to arrange some effective plan of action to the catch the people who were planning to use nuclear weapons, and you were certain that they were going to carry out their plan on the basis of at least 50 years of continuing atrocities perpetrated against innocent people which they later blamed on completely innocent patsies, what would you do ….. ?

'RAPEAGEDDON' Headed To America - Time For Women Across This Nation To Arm Themselves And Prepare To Defend Their Lives

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

A new alert was posted at Steve Quayle's website and linked on his front page, with the header "RAPE IS A FORM OF CONQUEST, THAT IS TAKING PLACE BEFORE A WORLD, THAT DOESN’T UNDERSTAND THE GLOBAL ENSLAVEMENT AND BRUTALIZATION OF WOMEN WORLD WIDE-I HAVE COINED A NEW TERM ‘RAPEAGEDDON'" What a perfect, descriptive term for what we are watching happen all across the globe, with ISIS terrorists capturing women and female children throughout the Middle East, brutalizing them, raping them and killing them, and across Europe we see report after report finally coming out about the mass rapes and abuse of women by Muslim "migrants" aka refugees, yet the silence in regards to this "Rapeageddon" from the so-called "feminists" here in the U.S. that are constantly bemoaning the "war on women," in regards to equality, equal pay, job opportunities, etc... is deafening. Those same feminists had better start paying attention, better jump off the gun-control bandwagon and start arming themselves, along with every other of-age woman in America and learn how to safely handle a weapon and prepare to defend themselves because NEWFLASH ladies, the "Rapeageddon" is on its way and with the amount of "refugees" being imported into America increasing each year, we are about to become Europe!

Europe has been conquered and rape is being used, as it has been throughout history, as an act of war. As highlighted in an article on Sunday titled -" 'The Final Play': Rape, Pillage And Plunder As The Globalists Take Us Under - Hell On Earth As Cities Burn Throughout The World, " we are seeing coordinated attacks upon women across Europe, specifically Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland and Austria. This is not a new problem as we also discovered that the "migrant" crime in Austria, Germany and Sweden were being covered up, but the simultaneous News Years Eve attacks were so widespread, the cover-up imploded and it became international news. In Germany alone there were 600 criminal complaints filed against "migrants" from the New Years Eve "Rapeageddon." SEXUAL VIOLENCE USED AS A WEAPON OF WAR Quayle was right on the mark with the statement "Rape is a form of conquest" - Historically, as you will see in the graph and multiple links that will be provided, sexual violence and rape have been used as a weapon of war, to humiliate and demoralize, as part of ethnic cleansing, to terrorize, to control and even to obtain information. Via Women Under Siege: "Below is a diagram showing a few specific ways sexualized violence has been used and where. There are so many reasons behind rape: Often it’s used to terrorize or humiliate communities, sometimes it’s used to glean information about rebels or to retaliate or exert power. As they say, rape is an incredibly effective—and cheap—weapon. Cheaper than bullets, and more destructive in many cases." Related Material: UNICEF - Sexual violence as a weapon of war WIKI - Wartime sexual violence ISLAMIC CULTURE OF RAPE It is not just sexual violence in war though, as the problem is much deeper than that and while stating this isn't "politically correct," refusing to name the problem is one of the reasons we are facing "Rapeageddon" right here in America....but rather than assimilating into the nation's culture, Islamic "refugees" are instead bringing their culture of rape and abuse of women into western countries. Make no mistake, I am not claiming that all Muslims rape women and children, but there is sufficient research which indicates that rape and sexual violence is more prevalent within the Islamic culture than almost any other. In 2013 it was reported by The Atlantic that "Syria has a massive rape crisis. Note the massive influx of refugees into Europe and being imported into the U.S. include a significant amount coming from Syria. Just today InfoWars highlighted a video from Egypt from 2013, which shows a woman being dragged away by a group of Muslim men before she is brutally raped is an example of ‘Taharrush’. Via RT: German police fear repeats of the Cologne New Year’s Eve sexual assaults, saying extra attention will now be paid to fighting similar attacks. Police used the Arab term ‘taharrush gamea’ (collective harassment) to categorize the assaults – causing an angry reaction on Twitter. The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), the main investigative authority in Germany, said in a response to Welt newspaper it knows sexual harassment of women in public is widespread in Arab countries, and that this is exactly what happened on New Year’s Eve in Cologne. Collective harassment is translated as “taharrush gamea” (حرش جماعي). Examples of abuse towards women can be found all across the Middle East, and what people must understand is it is a culture, it is not the exception to the rule, it is the rule. In researching this article I ran across an outstanding explanation of the "Muslim rape culture," by author and columnist Daniel Greenfield. The entire piece is a MUST-READ, but some significant quotes are shown below: Muslim rape culture did not begin in Tahrir Square and it won’t end there. Not when it actually began in the year 624 when Mohammed came up with an ingenious means of rewarding his followers. In addition to the trophies of war, he made it legal for them to capture and rape married women. When Australia’s Grand Mufti Sheikh Hilaly justified a notorious series of gang rapes by comparing women to uncovered meat left out in the presence of a cat, he laid out the basis of Muslim rape culture. Women are always the guilty party, because they are women. If they refuse to defeminize themselves by putting on a Burka and becoming just another dark ghost haunting the streets of Cairo or Sydney with their lack of selfhood, then they are automatically guilty of their own rape. It is noteworthy that this mindset and "culture" has not been imported into Germany, but has actually conquered Germany as evidenced by "Police in the Bavarian town of Mering, where a 16-year-old-girl was raped on September 11, have issued a warning to parents not to allow their children to go outside unaccompanied. In the Bavarian town of Pocking, administrators of the Wilhelm-Diess-Gymnasium have warned parents not to let their daughter's wear revealing clothing in order to avoid "misunderstandings." (Source - Gatestone Institute) When communicating with Steve Quayle after asking permission to use his newly coined "Rapeageddon" term, he made a statement which he has graciously allowed me to quote in this article - ""WE HAVE RETURNED TO THE DARKEST OF AGES WHERE WOMEN, MOSTLY CHRISTIAN, ARE CHAINED TOGETHER AND SOLD ON THE MID-EAST SLAVE MARKETS, JUST AS THEY WERE HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO-,WHERAS ONCE IT WAS DONE IN SECRET NOW ITS OPENLY FLAUNTED -WHERE IS THE FEMINIST OUTRAGE"? Great question! Why do we not see the same outrage from feminists that condemned Chrissie Hynde's comments about it being a woman’s fault if she is raped if she dresses provacatively. Where is the condemnation from Feministing who once wrote that victim blaming was "un-funny, unfair and un-feminist." Where are the feminists that were so outraged over the Dolce & Gabbana’s ‘gang bang’ ad? Back to Mr. Greefield's article: In Islam, women are objects, not subjects. Physically their entire bodies are considered ‘Awrah’,an Arabic word meaning ‘nakedness’, ‘fault’ or ‘defect’, terms that amply sum up the Islamic view of women. Even their voices are considered ‘Awrah’ meaning that even a fully covered up woman speaking is an immoral thing. A woman exists within Islam as an immoral object. And that gives Muslim men implicit permission to assault her, while holding her very nature accountable for tempting them to commit the act. If there is still any doubt about the culture of Islam, read the excuses and justifications from a supposed "moderate" Muslim man, who believes that Islamic men have the right to tell women they do not even know, how to dress because the way a women dresses can actually be "sexual harassment" against him and others like him! Let me be frank. As a Muslim man, it is not easy walking through the streets these days. Women's fashion continues to get increasingly sexy and provocative, and, in effect, public spaces are increasingly sexualized. From an Islamic perspective, the harm caused to individuals by this is clear and inarguable. Even from a non-religious perspective, constantly bombarding men with sexiness can be tortuous. Think of men or adolescent males who for whatever reason cannot find a sexual partner. Or think of married men being endlessly tempted by strangers as soon as they step out of the house. Even "moderate" Muslims feel that a woman is the one to be held accountable for "tempting" him... not by flirting with him, not by coming on to him but by simply being in a public space dressed in what HE considers to be a sexual manner. What? Are shorts sexual? A skirt that doesn't go down to the ankles? Are women that do not wear Burqas "tempting" to him, therefore they are sexually dressed and sexually "harassing" him?? Another must-read piece can be found over at American Thinker, titled "Islam, rape, and the fate of Western women." LACK OF ASSIMILATION IS WHY AMERICAN WOMEN MUST BE ARMED AND PREPARED TO PROTECT AND DEFEND THEMSELVES Over the years we have seen much debate on how we are a nation of immigrants, a melting pot (oops, that is no longer politically correct!) but immigrants of old assimilated into the country they were migrating to. That no longer applies and it is destroying the culture of the the countries accepting refugees. A perfect example is Sweden, via Washington Standard, where a young women learned the hard way why promoting "multiculturalism" over assimilation was deadly... literally. Elin Krantz was a 27-year-old Swedish model that promoted diversity and multiculturalism. She was young, she was beautiful and now she is dead at the hands of an African “refugee” immigrant. She was beaten and raped so badly that her injuries included, “burst membranes around the vaginal opening.” Here’s the sad reality though, the 23-year-old man that raped and murdered Krantz was an immigrant from Africa to the United States via a marriage to an Ethiopian woman and then immigrated from Virginia to Sweden. Understand that while living in the US, Yohannes “was sentenced to 13 months and 11 days in prison for drunk driving, hit and run and provision of false testimonies. He whined that he’s being mistreated in the USA because he’s black and was granted refugee status in multiculturalism embracing Sweden. To thank Sweden for what she’d done for him, he raped and murdered one of her natives.” What must be understood is that it is not only Muslim Extremists or Jihadist that are abusing women across Europe and most importantly, people must realize that the abuses we are finally seeing reported on are the result of a clash of cultures and a U.S. President that has made it abundantly clear to foreigners that they do not have to assimilate. The Daily Caller reports that Islam is set to become the second largest religion in America by 2040 and American women have something that European women do not.... access to firearms, the right to buy one, be trained to use it and the ability to prepare and defend themselves. Recent reports indicate that women buying more weapons and taking training classes is on the rise, but if you are a man and familiar with weapons who has a wife, a mother, sister or a daughter of-age that is not trained and armed.... you should make sure they become so. "Rapeageddon is heading to America..... lets make sure we are all armed and ready so our nations women do not suffer the same abuses that Europes' woman are suffering through right now.

After releasing toxic pollution into rivers with zero accountability, the EPA convicts 185 other Americans for 'environmental crimes'

Sunday, January 10, 2016 by: Daniel Barker

(NaturalNews) The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) performed its duties aggressively this year, handing out a number of prison sentences and multi-million dollar fines to polluters. However, the agency failed to apply its enforcement techniques to its own employees and the contractors responsible for a massive toxic spill caused during the botched Gold King Mine cleanup in Colorado – which poisoned rivers and waterways in three states and also within the Navajo Nation. From The Daily Caller: "Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) enforcers helped convict 185 Americans of environmental crimes this year, with each of these eco-convicts getting sentenced to eight months in prison on average for crimes ranging from biofuel fraud to illegally removing asbestos. "EPA enforcement data for 2015 shows the agency opened 213 environmental cases which resulted in 185 people convicted and sentenced to 129 years in prison. EPA has been opening fewer cases in recent years to focus more on 'high impact' cases." The agency was responsible for levying more than $88 million in fines, $112 million in restitution and $4 billion in court ordered environmental projects. Record settlements against private companies The biggest of these cases was against Duke Energy, which was charged with violating the Clean Water Act for spilling coal ash into Virginia and North Carolina rivers. The guilty verdict resulted in the largest settlement ever paid under the Clean Water Act: $68 million in fines and $34 million for environmental projects in both affected states. So, how can the EPA justify its zealous prosecution of companies like Duke Energy, when its own environmental screw-ups go unpunished? "Republican lawmakers were quick to criticize EPA for not taking any disciplinary action against contractors or employees involved in the Colorado mine spill. Lawmakers noted that while EPA drags its feet, a private company, like Duke, would have been fined quickly if it had spilled mine waste. "The Department of the Interior's outside review of the spill incident found EPA could have avoided a blowout if it had taken precautions agency workers had used while opening other sealed Colorado mines." EPA whitewashes its own mistakes Not only could the blowout have been avoided, there is evidence that the agency was warned beforehand that such an incident might occur – and even worse, it now appears that the agency may be attempting to "taint" the investigation, according to Representatives Rob Bishop of Utah and Louie Gohmert of Texas, both Republicans. Bishop and Gohmert wrote to the inspector general of the EPA: "[T]he Committee on Natural Resources is troubled by the EPA's disclosure last week that it had recently interviewed two material witnesses to the EPA's activities at Gold King Mine. "Specifically, the Committee is concerned that the EPA's interview did not follow best investigative practices and may have interfered with the OIG's ongoing investigation." Meanwhile, the EPA continues in its efforts to whitewash the incident, according to Paul Driesen of the Heartland Institute. "Congress and state legislatures should further investigate the Gold King disaster, and compel witnesses to testify under oath," he wrote. "They should also improve relevant laws, ensure that agency personnel are truly qualified to do their tasks, and hold agency incompetents and miscreants accountable." And as the Gold King Mine cleanup efforts drag on, suicides are on the increase in the Navajo Nation – a fact which many blame on the spill. It seems abundantly clear that the EPA is unwilling to take full responsibility for their role in the Gold King Mine spill, even though the incident continues to have a devastating impact on the environment and the people living in the region. And as it doggedly pursues "high profile" cases, while levying record fines against private companies, the agency apparently believes that its own environmental mistakes are somehow forgivable and that it should not be held accountable for them.

RBS cries 'sell everything' as deflationary crisis nears

Clients told to seek safety of Bunds and Treasuries. 'This is about return of capital, not return on capital. In a crowded hall, exit doors are small'

By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard 10:20PM GMT 11 Jan 2016

RBS has advised clients to brace for a “cataclysmic year” and a global deflationary crisis, warning that major stock markets could fall by a fifth and oil may plummet to $16 a barrel. The bank’s credit team said markets are flashing stress alerts akin to the turbulent months before the Lehman crisis in 2008. “Sell everything except high quality bonds. This is about return of capital, not return on capital. In a crowded hall, exit doors are small,” it said in a client note. Andrew Roberts, the bank’s research chief for European economics and rates, said that global trade and loans are contracting, a nasty cocktail for corporate balance sheets and equity earnings. This is particularly ominous given that global debt ratios have reached record highs. “China has set off a major correction and it is going to snowball. Equities and credit have become very dangerous, and we have hardly even begun to retrace the 'Goldlocks love-in' of the last two years,” he said. Mr Roberts expects Wall Street and European stocks to fall by 10pc to 20pc, with even an deeper slide for the FTSE 100 given its high weighting of energy and commodities companies. “London is vulnerable to a negative shock. All these people who are ‘long’ oil and mining companies thinking that the dividends are safe are going to discover that they’re not at all safe,” he said. Brent oil prices will continue to slide after breaking through a key technical level at $34.40, RBS claimed, with a “bear flag” and “Fibonacci” signals pointing to a floor of $16, a level last seen after the East Asia crisis in 1999. The bank said a paralysed OPEC seems incapable of responding to a deepening slowdown in Asia, now the swing region for global oil demand. Morgan Stanley has also slashed its oil forecast, warning that Brent could fall to $20 if the US dollar keeps rising. It argued that oil is intensely leveraged to any move in the dollar and is now playing second fiddle to currency effects. RBS forecast that yields on 10-year German Bunds would fall time to an all-time low of 0.16pc in a flight to safety, and may break zero as deflationary forces tighten their grip. The European Central Bank’s policy rate will fall to -0.7pc. US Treasuries will fall to rock-bottom levels in sympathy, hammering hedge funds that have shorted US bonds in a very crowded “reflation trade”. RBS first issued its grim warnings for the global economy in November but events have moved even faster than feared. It estimates that the US economy slowed to a growth rate of 0.5pc in the fourth quarter, and accuses the US Federal Reserve of “playing with fire” by raising rates into the teeth of the storm. “There has already been severe monetary tightening in the US from the rising dollar,” it said. It is unusual for the Fed to tighten when the ISM manufacturing index is below the boom-bust line of 50. It is even more surprising to do so after nominal GDP growth has fallen to 3pc and has been trending down since early 2014. RBS said the epicentre of global stress is China, where debt-driven expansion has reached saturation. The country now faces a surge in capital flight and needs a “dramatically lower” currency. In their view, this next leg of the rolling global drama is likely to play out fast and furiously. “We are deeply sceptical of the consensus that the authorities can ‘buy time’ by their heavy intervention in cutting reserve ratio requirements (RRR), rate cuts and easing in fiscal policy,” it said. Mr Roberts said the tightening cycle by the Anglo-Saxon central banks is already over. There will be no rate rises by the Bank of England before the downturn hits, and the next action by the Fed may be a humiliating volte-face and a rate cut. RBS is not alone in fearing trouble. UBS issued what it called a “significant change” to its house view late last week, saying policy chaos in China had unsettled markets. It cut exposure to equities from overweight to neutral on a “six-month tactical horizon”. It went underweight emerging markets. UBS said it is a precautionary move, insisting that the current global credit cycle has not yet peaked. Low oil prices should ultimately feed through to higher consumer spending and boost growth. Larry Summers, the former US Treasury Secretary, said it would be a mistake to dismiss the current financial squall as froth. Markets often sense a gathering storm when policy-makers are still asleep at the wheel. He has long argued that the world economy is so far out of kilter that it takes permanent financial bubbles to keep growth going, an inherently unstable structure. Yet there is something strange about the latest events. Austerity is finally over in Europe and fiscal policy in the US this year will be expansionary. China’s slowdown hit its bottom in June and a fitful recovery has been building, driven by extra budget spending and credit growth. While the composite PMI indicator for manufacturing and services slipped back last month, it is still higher in the summer. David Owen, from Jefferies, said there is a “weird disconnect” between the economic fundamentals and the market malaise. “There is no evidence of anything rolling over in the US. Europe is clearly recovering and the M3 money supply in Germany is growing at almost 10pc, which normally means stronger activity,” he said. Bank of America said panic selling had triggered its “contrarian buy signal”, since 88pc of global equity indexes are now trading below their 200-day and 50-day moving averages. The "Bull & Bear" index is at an ultra-negative level of 1.3. It said a “big tradable multi-week rally awaits” but requires catalysts, above all a stabilisation of the Chinese yuan and oil, better PMI data and a halt to the rising dollar. The risk is that this market storm drags on long enough to hit investment, regardless of what the economic data should imply. At the end of the day, market psychology can itself become an economic "fundamental". Pessimists warn that unless there is a batch of irrefutably good data from China over the next two or three months, the sell-off could become self-fulfilling and quickly metamorphose into the next global crisis.

Bearish J.P Morgan says sell stocks on any rally

By Sue Chang Published: Jan 11, 2016 2:13 p.m. ET

J.P. Morgan Chase has turned its back on the stock market: For the first time in seven years, the investment bank is urging investors to sell stocks on any bounce. “Our view is that the risk-reward for equities has worsened materially. In contrast to the past seven years, when we advocated using the dips as buying opportunities, we believe the regime has transitioned to one of selling any rally,” Mislav Matejka, an equity strategist at J.P. Morgan, said in a report. Aside from technical indicators, expectations of anemic corporate earnings combined with the downward trajectory in U.S. manufacturing activity and a continued weakness in commodities are raising red flags. “We fear that the incoming fourth-quarter reporting season won’t be able to provide much reassurance for stocks,” he said. Expectations for earnings are so bearish that the hurdle rate—the minimum rate of return on an investment that makes it worth the risk—for fourth-quarter results is now minus 4%, compared with plus 5% several months earlier. “If this were to materialize, it would be the weakest quarter for EPS delivery so far in the upcycle,” said Matejka. Further adding to the grim outlook is the slowdown in the manufacturing sector, which pushed J.P. Morgan’s profit-margin proxy — the gap between pricing power and the wage costs — into negative territory in the fourth quarter for the first time since 2008. The Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing index, released last week, dipped to 48.2% in December from 48.6% in November, the lowest since the Great Recession. The positive correlation between oil prices and earnings on top of the sustained gains in the U.S. dollar — which has an inverse correlation to results — will also weigh on the market, he added. etc. and the news story continues..

Deep State’s Draconian Measures To Criminalize Citizens

By Joachim Hagopian January 12, 2016

Western federal governments, transnational corporations and the globalist agenda behind them have coalesced its reign of terror into one monolithically centralized authoritarian power that since 9/11 has obliterated centuries old constitutions that in the US all federal, military and law enforcement personnel took sworn oaths to protect and defend. What we now have are power hungry, oath-betraying despots dispersed around the globe who’ve demonstrated by their earthly misdeeds to be out-and-out traitors for failing to comply with both their oath – a criminal US offense in and of itself – as well as their national constitutions. But even more treasonous, they’ve failed to protect and defend their nations and people from enemies both foreign and domestic. But clearly it is they who pose the most dangerous threat to the United States and every other sovereign nation since they’ve only demonstrated that they are in fact the domestic enemy of every betrayed nation’s people. In their bloodthirsty lust for absolute tyrannical control, the international powers-that-shouldn’t-be have been systematically criminalizing every group and person perceived to stand in the way or oppose the traitors’ horrendous abuse of power. This weekend a Reuters article made the MSM case that a growing number of disgruntled current and former federal employees are unhappy with how the Department of Justice and FBI have not come down hard or quickly enough on the Bundy boys starting with their April 2014 Nevada case when rancher Cliven Bundy refused to pay grazing fees to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The Reuters piece reflects the apparent perception of many government insiders that the feds are only demonstrating weakness by their reluctance and delay to prosecute the guilty that in turn only sends the message to embolden “lawbreaking rightwing militants” personified by the two younger Bundy sons to defiantly act out even more. They believe the lack of response to the 2014 Nevada case has spurred on the Bundy’s and their angry rightwing citizen activists to currently spearhead the rural Oregon standoff where armed protestors have taken over an isolated federal wildlife refuge building. The Bundy boys and their activist followers have rushed to the aid and support of a father-son duo as the two imprisoned Oregon ranchers who apparently have been unfairly prosecuted and sentenced to five years for alleged arson on federal land. For years it turns out the Oregon ranchers had been cooperating with BLM on mutually controlled fires on their adjacent lands. Several years ago one of the controlled burns that was started to counter a lightening fire from destroying their own home accidentally spread to apparently burn just one acre of BLM property. Swift arrests using an antiterrorism law were made in a thinly veiled effort by feds to grab rancher land. Their punitive 5-year prison sentence turned the two ranchers into persecuted martyrs that the Bundy supporters opportunistically seized upon to rally public attention and support for another round of “individual ranchers’ rights versus the overreaching government 2” or as MSM describes “lawbreaking armed militants versus a restrained government just trying to enforce the letter of the law.” Meanwhile to show how unjust this Oregon case is, a fire in Alaska started by the US military during a live training exercise against the local fire chief’s recommendation and without seeking BLM permission burned over 85,000 acres of federal land, destroyed multiple buildings, caused many residents to evacuate and endangered their health and lives along with millions of dollars’ worth of damage, yet because it was the military at fault, no prosecutions followed. The far bigger issue here is that since 9/11 Washington has usurped individual citizen rights and nearly overnight turned the government from a once democratic republic into a fascist totalitarian police state and the oppressed, abused American people are fast reaching the breaking point of armed rebellion, all by carefully plotted federalist/globalist design. The central powers’ sinister game has been to intentionally push fed up Americans over the edge with each passing year its militarized police force continuing to terrorize and murder mounting numbers of unarmed Americans (over a thousand in 2015 alone), launching an all-out war against its own citizens of every political persuasion on both left and right by lumping them together to identify the whole lot as so called “radicalized extremists.” This long awaited, plotted scenario sets the stage for the next major false flag crisis to break out, giving more than ample enough excuse for the feds to use deadly force to quell the citizen uprising and subsequently spread civil disturbance across the nation in order to declare martial law that will readily pave the way toward one world government and ultimately formalize a New World Order slavery over the entire human species on this planet. This presentation will uncover the methodical layout of increasingly oppressive actions that the US federal government has aggressively pursued in order to demonize and label more and more individuals and groups as part of its growing list of targeted “enemies of the state.” But an identical argument can be made from anywhere within the West because this unfolding story is exactly the same throughout North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea and the imperialistically dominated Third World where the very same international crime cabal led by central banks and a handful of globalist families like the Rothschilds and Rockefellers have been calling the shots causing Western wars at will and controlling Western history for centuries. In her insightful historical analysis of “Ten Steps to Close Down an Open Society,” Naomi Wolf cites step #1 to “invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy.” Under the ruse of counterterrorism, the West has been busily placing its own citizens in its surveillance crosshairs while under disingenuous humanitarian pretense opening borders to millions of unvetted migratory refugees from war ravaged Middle East and North Africa given free security clearance to enter Western nations as the globalist latest cooked up recipe for untold disaster still to come. In this preplanned, orchestrated insanity, with one fell swoop both internal and external enemies have been effectively invoked. Shortly after 9/11 the definition of those individuals deemed enemies of the state was limited strictly to “terrorists or terrorist sympathizers.” Then in the ensuing years such nebulous, all-inclusive labels as “belligerents” and “enemy combatants” have most recently given way to the feds’ term currently in favor – “radicalized extremists.” Over the last decade the expanding parameters of who gets targeted as “radicalized” has evolved literally into anyone who in any way opposes the federal government tyranny. Criminalizing citizens can now be applied to homeowners who choose to grow vegetables and fruits on their own front or backyard property or neighbors who elect to collect rainwater with an open barrel. Increasingly it’s unlawful to conserve rainwater collected on your own land for your own personal use even in such drought-stricken Western states as California, Oregon, Washington, Utah, and Colorado as well as Florida. Or now being a Good Samaritan desiring to feed the homeless in a local public park is becoming a lawbreaker in many municipalities. Draconian laws to gain absolute control in Western nations have been steadily proliferating under the phony guise of national security and counterterrorism. One key strategy employed by the ruling elite facilitating totalitarian tyranny can be observed in the unholy union between Big Pharma’s push to manipulate and control psychiatry and the medical establishment by “psychopathologizing” virtually every man, woman and child with some diagnostic label that deems them mentally ill and/or mentally incompetent. The exponential rise of diagnosable disorders at the disposal of mental health practitioners to falsely label increasing numbers of people with diagnostic disorders from the latest deluxe edition of their Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) is yet another sinister, pathological means of population control. 2013’s DSM-5 is the latest 947-page Big Pharma-sponsored WMD masquerading as the official “shrink” bible. Fortunately a number of critics from the psychiatric field itself have raised formidable opposition. In a New York Times op-ed article psychiatrist Allen Frances stated that the 2013 DSM-5 will “medicalize normality and result in a glut of unnecessary and harmful drug prescription.” As a prime example illustrating just how mislabeling healthy individuals has become so insanely extreme in its malfeasance, if we dare to express concern over what we put inside our bodies by way of food intake in front of the wrong mental health professional, we’re liable to be slapped with a psychiatric disorder that now renders us mentally diseased with orthorexia nervosa. Moreover, medical schools in North America have been completely taken over by corrupt Big Parma money and psychiatrists have been relegated to becoming nothing less than Big Pharma’s army of label-pushing, drug-pushing whores. As another absurd example, those of us who still practice critical thinking skills and exhibit nonconforming behavior are increasingly viewed and judged by diagnosticians as mentally ill. “Oppositional Defiant Disorder” is the label attached to anyone who dares to challenge authority or is a free thinker refusing to succumb to the growing pressures to conform to the mindless herd. We are living in a mixed up age of depravity and perversion that’s degenerated into codified acceptable norms, where everything in this new world matrix is deceptively reversed from the way it should be, where bad is good and good is bad. The red pill is bad but globalist Huxley’s blue soma pill proves far worse. Zombified unthinking robots who are conditioned to simply do what they’re told while addictively fixated on their electronic gadgetry are considered the so called normals while those who see the insanely artificial bullshit for what it really is and refuse to conform are branded deviants, abnormal and potential radicalized terrorists or simply dismissed and ridiculed as conspiracy nuts. The divide and rule formula for labeling undesirables as practiced by the elite is performing a masterful brainwash of the masses like Pavlov’s dogs. To see how far over the edge the populace has become as controlled automatons, look around at any international airport and notice over 90% of the people are all mesmerized by their electronic button-pushing toys. Empirical studies show that such chronic enrapture with radiation spewing, mind control boxes are posing serious health hazards from actually changing the DNA structure and damaging the human brain, drastically reducing male sperm count, to causing rising cancer rates, and in effect dumbing down Americans in both test scores and capacity to think freely and critically. Of course all this is by diabolical grand design too. An unthinking global population has already become the stupefied twenty-first century captive slave, victim of another soft kill WMD delivered by the ruling elite. Speaking of massive psychopathology, there are so many overlapping common symptoms in mental disorders especially amongst the most “popular” clinical diagnoses like “bipolar disorder” that mental health diagnosticians operating with far less empirical evidence than their medical world counterpart base their diagnoses on just a few reported, “observable” behaviors to arrive at their all-important diagnoses. Such subjective judgment holding such profoundly dire consequences potentially for so many humans under increasing medical tyranny undeniably results in pervasive misdiagnoses at highly disturbing rates. The epidemic of fake diagnoses amongst children like ADHD hooking them on harmful, powerful, mind-altering drugs at such a young age is a tragic travesty of justice. In my several decades of clinical experience working in the trenches as a licensed therapist in Southern California, I observed psychiatrists meeting their patients for the first time and after only five minutes already coming up with their Axis I diagnoses complete with a prescribed multiple psychotropic medication regimen. And alarmingly, the know-it-all doctor all too frequently is getting it all wrong. With both psychology and neuroscience still in their infancy, pseudo-science stage, the mental health system still remains extremely barbaric and primitive in both scope and knowledge and increasingly criminal in its practice. Yet in a closed totalitarian system where appalling life judgments and sentences are flippantly handed out like condoms, and where drugs are used for sinister social engineering, control purposes, the mental health system as largely practiced in the West has long been an embedded, disgracefully destructive institution. And with Obama’s recent calls for more gun control combined with this fast descending culture of medical tyranny within the totalitarian matrix, all this has frighteningly deep state implications for rampant horror and abuse. Wanton violation of privacy, consent and lack of due process combined with arbitrary misjudgment by an abusive medical-statist authoritarianism smacks of yet more Orwellian nightmare. The number of mental disorders has skyrocketed from the first DSM in 1952 of only 106 to DSM-5’s 357 disorders today. Just in the last fifty years alone 227 new ways to label, stigmatize and sentence people with lifelong mental illness and dangerously addictive, damaging psychotropic drugs are actually causing Americans’ premature death. Furthermore, Big Pharma drugs carry severe cumulative side effects and on top of all that, they largely don’t even work, either keeping people sick or making them worse, or even killing them. For the first time the average overall lifespan of Americans is beginning to drop. In fact today it’s become such an enormous epidemic that drug overdose from prescription medications has now become the leading cause of death in America involved in over 52% of all recorded deaths. When you realize that 70% of US citizens are now regularly drugged, taking highly addictive, potentially lethal prescription medications on a daily basis that merely smother symptoms rarely if ever actually healing the underlying malady’s causes, it’s not surprising that we’re dying younger. To compound the matter, just look at all the slow kill methodsthe ruling elite has in its ever-expanding arsenal – fluoride, mercury, vaccines, chemtrails, Monsanto’s pervasive glyphosate poisoning and its GMO’s, nutrition-dead processed radiated foods, radiated oceans, the toxic, cumulative buildup that’s been destroying our very living habitat for more than a century, our increasing rat race stressors staying afloat to make ends meet in an ever growing world of impoverishment marked by an unprecedented ever-widening gap between the rich and the poor. Throughout his now seven years as president, Obama has been busily signing one executive order after the next giving himself dictatorial rights. He alone has issued more restrictive executive orders using such legally binding language as “shall” and “must” than the last six administrations combined. Whenever he fails to gain congressional support as in his OCD gun control obsession, Obama simply makes his own laws which amidst the 2014 Ebola scare outbreak included rounding up of individuals suffering from respiratory ailments. Under Obama’s watch the roundup of the homeless has also begun. His across-the-boards, thinly veiled agenda is again to grant the deep state Luciferian authority to deem anyone mentally unfit, certifiably crazy, deviant, infirm or otherwise undesirable, thus branding virtually anyone and everyone as suitable candidates for institutional lockup at their local FEMA prison camp. Under the pretext of the next false flag crisis or two, with the first sign of major civil unrest, martial law will be declared and the long dreaded roundups will begin in earnest. And the extremely volatile, ongoing standoff currently in Oregon between armed rancher advocates and BLM/FBI/Special Ops’s snipers positioned ever-at-the-ready in a moment’s notice could become the explosive spark that ignites America’s second civil war between its populace that’s legitimately grown so angry, sick and tired of being victimized by its viciously abusive, probing and prodding criminal government. America is currently teetering on this sad and tragic cliff and but a gunshot away in Oregon or the next Ferguson or Baltimore. The Disunited State’s powder keg’s ready to blow. Meanwhile, literally for decades the feds have been methodically preparing their big guns for this very day of US reckoning. Just when Americans are fighting back against its overreaching government in the Oregon face off, it’s no accident that Obama chooses to roll out his “biggest guns” ever in order to resume his relentlessly creeping agenda to confiscate America’s weapons, even arrogantly claiming gun control to be among his wish list legacies. True to form, as the world’s biggest arms dealer responsible for countless dirty secret wars killing thousands on the planet, the hypocrite is bent on paving the way for gun confiscation in America through any means necessary. Criminalizing private gun ownership in America while militarizing police for counterinsurgency combat waged on US soil has been both Obama and his masters’ longtime globalist plan. In so many words dictator Obama stated, “We cannot wait for Congress to get in line with me on gun control,” in his attempt to justify his latest end-around executive orders to control private ownership of guns in America. His call for stricter background checks will mean bureaucratic red tape ensuring that the Second Amendment right to defend oneself and family will ultimately be dead on arrival. National gun registration entails any transfer by either sale or gift from one family member to another. It involves a whole new level of extrajudicial mandate for spying and snitching that undermines and destroys the fundamental principle of confidentiality and privacy between the doctor-patient relationship, attorney-client privilege and the any number of other legally protected scenarios. Naomi Wolf’s second step to a closed society is “create a gulag.” This darkly paranoid culture that increasingly is pressuring Americans to spy, snitch and turn in their fellow neighbors for perceived homegrown extremism is fast descending upon the US like the Soviet Union’s Stalin-esque gulag state during the first globalist created cold war. Many in America are increasingly afraid to honestly speak out for fear of state recrimination. Keeping guns out of the hands of private citizens will manifest through prohibiting the sale to any Americans on a growing watch list that no doubt will include criminalized dissenters whose only “crime” is disagreeing with their criminal government, anyone with a medical condition or DSM diagnosis (which with today’s standards pretty much can arbitrarily cover everyone), those on both Social Security disability as well as those retirees needing some form of public assistance, the mounting list will be endless. And this drive to involve mental health/medical records for background checks opens a Pandora ’s Box, reinforcing the longtime stereotype that the so called mentally ill are far more violent than the so-called normal population when in fact exactly the opposite holds true. Obama’s recent grandstanding gun control ploy is nothing less than his deceitful “backdoor” method to ultimately pave the way for NWO’s gun confiscation. Obama’s agenda is blatantly over-the-top just like his artificially induced tear displayed for the camera during his recent gun control speech (not unlike the faked tear for dramatic effect by actor William Hurt’s character in the film “Broadcast News”). The psychopathic actor in the Oval Office who isn’t even capable of genuine emotion is the biggest threat to America and in fact the entire world far more than all the lawful gun owners on this planet combined! Meanwhile, results of a brand new Gallup poll asked 1000 Americans in all 50 states the open-ended question of what they believe America’s biggest problem is. Despite what Obama says, Americans ranked guns and gun control among their least pressing problems (19 out of the 23 problems generated) with just 2% of respondents even considering guns a problem. Fortunately the American people are no longer fooled by the never-ending, amateurishly staged false flag mass shootings where innocent citizens are in fact dying by preplanned state sponsored terrorism so Obama can relentlessly push his gun control agenda. In contrast, for the second year in a row Americans perceptively rank the overreaching, authoritarian US government intrusively invading and controlling their lives as their number one problem of all problems at 16%, even more than the bankrupted, ready to collapse house of cards economy (13%), the permanently high 25+% unemployment rate (8%), Obama’s open border immigration crisis (8%) and the hyped up worry over terrorism that’s also highest since just after 9/11. With Obama signing into law the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), we citizens can have our homes broken into in the middle of the night by US military without a warrant, detain us indefinitely without charges, legal representation, due process or even a trial for as long the deep state desires. The Constitution and its once guaranteed rights to our civil liberties and privacy are on paper only, no longer practiced by our crime cabal government. Additionally, with his dictatorial executive orders circumventing both Congress and the American people, Obama has single handedly undermined the Founding Father’s checks and balances system. The federal government no longer operates as a democratic republic but in recent years has rapidly degenerated into a full-blown oligarchy, clearly serving the interests of the 1% ruling elite and no longer the interests of its own citizen electorate. The Supreme Court’s decision to permit billionaires to legally buy off politicians with no oversight or limits ensured the fascist takeover of our once democratic institution. In April 2014 the SCOTUS chose to move America into further deep state tyranny by electing not to rule on an Appeals Court to overturn a lower district court decision that would have nullified the 2012 NDAA. Furthermore, the long practiced divide and rule game of pitting so called Democrats versus Republicans in phony rigged elections continues only to serve the elite deceptively giving voters a false illusion of choice when in fact the elite as the controlling gatekeeper to power in the US already has long cherry picked the president and key Congress members prior to their election. And with the oppressive draconian measures overtly conscripted into law since 9/11 along with bringing counterinsurgency war home to roost with the systematic militarization of law enforcement at every level, including FDA and EPA SWAT teams, and Social Security Administration buying up hollow point bullets, Americans now find themselves sinking deeper into totalitarian police state quicksand. The government’s absurd lengths and extremism to turn average, every day, honest, hardworking, law-abiding citizens into deep state criminals is all too obvious. Through criminalization the totalitarian police state intends to arbitrarily use the plethora of trumped up charges, Orwellian laws and branding labels on watch lists to detain, imprison and even murder fellow Americans as mere expendables, as Kissinger would say “useless eaters” deemed part of the growing throwaway population. For many decades the ruling elite has been executing a not so secret eugenics plan to drastically reduce the global population by 90% through a WMD arsenal of both hard and soft kill methods. UN Agenda 2030 , UN Agenda 21 and America 2050 all foretell how under the NWO buzzword “sustainability,” deep state (since the US will no longer be a sovereign nation) will herd the diminishing American population into “stack and pack” hi-risers in 11 controlled bicoastal urban living zones and 50% land grab all private property from the vast interior, no longer inhabited designated wilderness sections of North America in order to extract whatever valuable natural resources remain under its topsoil. The one world slave system of absolute control permeates all the UN’s euphemistic lies and deception touting false promises for a secure, rosy future for all of us earthlings in a kumbaya utopia. Thus in countless ways the ruling elite has been methodically and meticulously setting the stage for the criminalization of certain targeted Americans. Aside from criminalizing law-abiding gun owners and marginalizing the vast majority of the population with harmful mental disorders and lethal drugs that include eugenically mandated vaccines, a systematic attack to criminalize health food products and vitamin/herbal supplements has also been waged in recent years in this country. Armed for full combat, FDA SWAT teams representing Big Pharma have been harassing, raiding and arresting owners of food co-ops, organic farms and health food industry business owners in order to eliminate free choice for health-minded consumers who desire non-toxic food seeking more affordable and effective alternative health practices. For over a century the elites have never been advocates of a free and open market as the industrial robber barons never failed to resort to great lengths to eliminate and kill off all competition that otherwise might threaten their mega-monopolies, operating in anything but a free enterprise system. Because Big Pharma drugs and health care costs in America are atrociously the highest in the world, the alternative medicine and herbal-vitamin supplement industry have been steadily growing in recent decades. As a result, many small farms and businesses have been raided particularly targeting raw milk distributors as the goons’ excuse to create such lengthy litigation nightmares and criminal recrimination designed to viciously drive the deliverers of healthier choices out of business altogether. While the FDA regularly allows harmful pharmaceuticals on the market before undergoing any rigorous clinical research trials, in effect permitting Big Pharma that owns the FDA a free pass much to public detriment and harm, the absorbent fines, unfair legal regulations that legislators and FDA impose on small health businesses and the perpetual harassment with their criminal Gestapo tactics are designed to eliminate once again consumer choice and any and all Big Pharma competition. But then all of this is simply the heinous machinations of a fascist international crime cabal government in bed with transnational corporations churning out nation-killing TPP and TTIP while dancing to the marching order tunes of the oligarchs. The obvious fast track intent is to destroy America and all national sovereignty globally in order to install its long plotted one world government. Criminalizing dissent in the West has been high priority business in recent years especially since 9/11. A federal militarized law enforcement coordinated by the FBI, working with antiterrorism task forces and local police departments across the nation and beyond violently crushed the Occupy Movement in 2011 and 2012. Using outlawed tear gas (banned by an international chemical weapons treaty), a systematic concerted effort was rolled out to physically beat, arrest and detain thousands of protestors from peaceful assembly to exercise their First Amendment rights both here in America as well as US sponsoring state repression abroad. At the same time combat equipment and weapons were being removed from the foreign battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq, “gifted” to local police forces transformed into wartime combat units deployed for war on US streets against American citizens who have been targeted as enemy insurgents aka tagged as homegrown domestic terrorists. Overnight in America free speech rights have been criminalized and reframed as domestic terrorism. The FBI’s notorious COINTELPRO operations of the 1960’s and 1970’s involving unconstitutional covert surveillance, infiltration and targeted harassment of Vietnam War protestors, American Indian Movement and Black Panther Party members never actually left. These subversive illegal tactics began resurfacing in the 1980’s in the form of antiterrorism task forces and were further developed and implemented throughout the 1990’s with such unlawful federalized false flag operations as the 1993 World Trade Center bombing killing a half dozen and injuring over 1000, 1993’s Waco’s Branch Davidian massacre murdering over 80 family members, the devastatingly lethal 1995’s Oklahoma City bombingkilling 168, and the brutal police attacks against peaceful demonstrators at Seattle’s 1999 World Trade Organization meeting. By the inside 9/11 job and the readymade roll out of the Patriot Act (much of it already written in the 1980’s) under the anthrax threat that originated from an inside government source, the startup of Homeland Security taking over FEMA operations, covert use of private security defense contractors promoting the cancerous growth of the security industrial complex, fusion centers plastered in every state and major municipality, and the NSA’s more-is-better bulk data storage using unlawful, highly invasive surveillance to track our every move, and there went America’s fast disappearing freedom of speech to air grievances in public or private protest. And to top it off, all this gluttonous spending doesn’t even stop terrorism in America because it’s all been state sponsored (i.e., the very security apparatus ostensibly designed to prevent terrorism is covertly responsible for delivering it through false flag operations). Then the large-scale Empire invasions and decade plus protracted occupations of the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars dragging on even to this day managed to outlast the initial surge from a worldwide antiwar movement just prior to the March 2003 volunteer army led invasion that quickly petered out despite the exposed neocon WMD lies that got us into our “endless war on terror” mess. To further crush dissent in the first decade of 21st century America, at all the Democratic and Republican national conventions the feds began aggressively raiding and arresting protestors at where they lived prior to the event in combination with creating so-called “free speech zones” where public protests were largely neutralized, limited to distant areas far away from the protested events. Now the powers-that-shouldn’t-be simply blatantly pull off another 9/11 event – like November’s Friday the 13th in Paris, subsequently sealing off the border preventing any protestors from entering the country so the elites could quietly meet to formulate their one world government takeover using their climate change hoax as their false pretense. The influx in recent years of police killing unarmed black American males in cities around country sparked the Ferguson, New York City and Baltimore protests that in turn led to yet more police brutality and outbreaks of both civil and racial unrest, further exacerbated by the acquittals and nonarrests of the murdering white policemen. The Justice Department has allowed militant murderous cops to conspicuously continue their unending killing spree with virtually total impunity. As a result, the activist watchdog group Black Lives Matter sprang up in opposition and federal law enforcement quickly retaliated by unleashing yet more targeted harassment and covert surveillance. COINTELPRO never left, it just got bigger. This extreme authoritarian oppression has only been further fueled by American police receiving counterterrorism training from the masters of lethal brutality – the Israeli Apartheid security forces. A coordinated pattern keeps repeating itself of Hegelian deep state manufactured crises, tyrannical over-the-top provocation clearly intended to trigger even more violent unrest thanks to the millions invested by globalist George Soros to further enflame open rebellion which in turn leads to yet more restrictive draconian measures. This escalating cycle of mounting lockdown and control is a recurring process increasingly carried out in all Western nations. Peacefully assembled protestors are now subject to growing violence, injury, imprisonment and even death from the totalitarian police state never held accountable where clearly the citizens are the victimized enemy of deep state sponsored terror. The armed takeover in Oregon by patriot citizens is a consequence of the feds’ war on their own people. Criminalizing freedom of religions like Christianity is becoming prevalent where worshippers in the military and elsewhere are prohibited from any overt expression reflecting their Christian views and beliefs. And God forbid you decorate your yard with a manger scene and wish your friends a Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays. Jesus must be rolling over from his manger cradle to his grave with all this nauseating PC dogma. But then false “profits” and idolatry have become so central to the grand scheme perversion nowadays. Then there’s the alleged secret infiltration of the Barack Hussein Obama’s administration by deep state’s twenty-first century bogeyman, “them there Muslims,” as declared by retired Admiral James A. Lyons as well as others, alluding to Obama and his CIA Director Brennan’s closeted Muslim brotherhood ties. Decades of Empire hired thugs posing as Islamic extremists all made in America, Israel and Saudi Arabia by the true axis-of-evil, their never-ending wars, their preplanned migration crises, growing hate crimes, war on Islam, race and religious wars are all just part of the grand NWO plan. The long plotted chaos and destruction globally has the elite’s debt-based economy collapsing and World War III fast approaching. The West’s political correctness agenda has reached thought police level, not unlike deep state using pre-crime prognostication to eliminate future criminals and terrorists before they even commit a crime. Forget pre-crime, how about removing both proven past and present terrorists occupying the halls of Western governments? Definitely more evidence-based than any of their AI’s crystal ball algorithms. As if our oppressive, overreaching government that Americans see as our biggest problem isn’t enough, three months ago the Department of Justice announced the creation of a domestic terrorism council to criminalize libertarians and constitutionalists as well as conservatives. Increasingly those of us who still believe America should adhere to its Founding Father’s rule of law are now targets for persecution while what’s left of our constitutional Amendments are being trampled to death. First Amendment rights to a free press in America has been seriously eroded as well. Reporters Without Borders announced last year that the US has dropped to #49 in the world in press freedom. Of course in recent years globally more journalists are being imprisoned and killed and two thirds of the 180 nations ranked saw a decline in freedom of the press. With the 6-oligarch owned mega-media corps serving as the feds’ propaganda ministry, more people know better than to pay any attention to MSM as the internet alternative media, as skewed and infected with shills and moles as it is, still is the closest thing we have to learning the truth. But a whole TPP chapter’s devoted on how it too will be censored and controlled if it passes in the next month or two. If activism still means anything to us, then defeating it should be our first-line priority. There are lots of courageous whistleblowers and truth telling journalists who saw evil and honorably tried to stop it. Some like Michael Hastings, Phillip Marshall and Gary Webb knew too much and paid the ultimate price. Some have done time behind bars, others are currently serving sentences and many more no doubt will be imprisoned in the future, despite protection once guaranteed by the so called free press and existing whistleblower laws. Chelsea Manning saw war atrocities, exposed them and still has another thirty three years left in prison to kill. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange for exposing the dirty truth is still holed up, trapped in a London Ecuadoran Embassy the last three years. Likewise going on three years, Edward Snowden is still hiding out somewhere in Russia. Many honest ethical truth tellers are still suffering from the harshly extreme consequences being made examples by the state for simply doing the right thing. From the start Obama has criminalized truth tellers from both journalistic as well as inside his own government ranks, charging more Americans for espionage than all other presidents combined and turning down a record number of freedom of information requests than any predecessor. The foremost enemy of any totalitarian state is the truth and the heroic truth tellers. Then speaking of heroes, there are all the veterans, the brave patriots willing to die for their country who fresh off the battlefields are labeled our treasonous government’s number one homegrown terrorist based on the infamous 2009 Homeland Security document that the then Homeland Director Janet Napolitano vehemently defended. And so the globalist agenda is to simply lock up all activist-patriots before they can take over another federal building or mobilize a strong enough opposition to become a viable threat. Meanwhile, as plainly seen by the latest Gallup poll, all Americans want is for their tyrannical cabal government to leave its citizens alone with no more invasive, monstrously insane transgressions to dumb down, brainwash, control, incite fear and stress and force humanity into becoming global slaves for the ruling elite. But merely hoping and wishing the international crime cabal to cease its evildoing will not change anything. It requires active commitment by the informed citizens of the world to resist and openly challenge tyranny. Did I mention home-schoolers? The oppressive system frowns upon any family that chooses to remain outside its matrix and control. Parents who refuse to allow their children’s minds to become polluted, corrupted and braindead by Common Core, unwilling to permit their own to be shaped and molded into another mindless cog in the collectivist wheel, not surprisingly those self-proclaimed outsiders are viewed as the enemy. Though home schooling is a challenge for most parents due to time and financial constraints, but more power to those families fortunate enough to be able to teach their “youngins” to think with an original and critical mind, to naturally question beliefs and concepts including the authoritarian dogma and PC dribble. And no matter what life throws at them they may still hold on to their God-given talents and creativity that could one day spark the next much needed human evolutionary revolution. For over a century the feds have criminalized tax protestors. For those who flat out refuse to pay income tax in good conscience that invariably funds more Empire wars, the feds may still come after you with a vengeance. But there are creative ways some tax resisters and protestors avoid paying federal taxes with moderate risks involved. Then there are the hardliners who claim that the 1913 Federal Income Tax Act isn’t legally binding and that no constitutional law was ever ratified mandating citizens to pay taxes. Then that other sneekeroo bombshell called the Federal Reserve Act that the globalists slipped though that same fateful year 1913 when on the evening of December 22nd many lawmakers in the House were already in transit home for Christmas. The Senate passed the bill the next day with many of its members already absent as well. Speaking of back taxes, if you get behind owing gov.corps fifty or more grand, as of a few months ago your passport can now be revoked and you will be sent home to pay up. The Secretary of State also can begin pulling passports without due process simply based on suspicion or accusation you could be involved in alleged terrorist activity abroad. Again, maximum leeway, discretion and power to deny citizens their universal right to travel without any tangible or legal evidence. Then there’s Tea Party members and other conservative groups that Lois Lerner’s IRS henchmen targeted for harassment. Other conservative Americans also found themselves out of favor with the pro-abortion Obama regime, like the pro-lifers. During the inconvenience of the Planned Parenthood scandal a few months ago, the administration chose to gloss it over completely as if recycling dead fetuses for profit never really happened on his watch. When caught in deception, lie, deny and more lie is the M.O. In the wake of the scandal Congress passed a bill to defund Planned Parenthood but Obama vetoed it last week. The Obama list of falsely criminalized Americans is endless and like the industrial security complex always growing. Those “eight million Americans” reported over two and a half years ago to be on that ultra-secret Main Core watch list has undoubtedly expanded boundlessly since then to include millions more from both ends of the right and left spectrum as designated “radicalized extremists.” The global elite at the Obama administration’s dictatorial bidding has been systematically poisoning, polarizing and pissing us off, not to mention pulverizing what little rights we citizens still have left after the preceding neocon criminals did their damage. At this grave 11th hour, 59th minute stage here in early 2016, if you still desire to take back your lost freedoms, liberties and any chance of justice ever to return to America, it’s now-or-never time to mobilize and unite in empowered solidarity for what amounts to literally fighting for our very lives against our true enemy – the oppressive destroyer of the world – the less than 1% ruling elite and its international crime cabal government.

Putin hints that Russia could grant asylum to Assad

Russian president says it was more difficult to shelter whistleblower Edward Snowden than it would be to welcome Syrian leader.

Tuesday 12 January 2016 05.12 EST

Russia could grant asylum to Bashar al-Assad if he is forced to leave Syria, Vladimir Putin suggested in an interview with the German tabloid Bild. The Russian president said it was premature to discuss asylum, but added that it would be easier to welcome the Syrian leader than the US whistleblower Edward Snowden, who was given asylum in Russia in 2013. “It was surely more difficult to grant Snowden asylum in Russia than it would be in the case of Assad,” the Russian president said in an interview published on Tuesday. etc. and the news story continues..

Trans-Pacific Partnership: Serious Rights Concerns

Q&A Addresses Labor, Health and Online Expression

(Washington, DC) – The proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) economic and trade agreement raises numerous human rights concerns despite unprecedented efforts to address labor issues, Human Rights Watch said today in a new Q & A. The TPP’s rights problems should be addressed before the agreement enters into force, Human Rights Watch said. “As the TPP moves toward ratification, policymakers should reflect carefully on how the agreement will affect over 800 million people living in Pacific Rim countries,” said Sarah Margon, Washington Director at Human Rights Watch. “The TPP is a far-reaching agreement whose human rights harms should be addressed now before they are replicated in future trade and economic agreements worldwide.” The agreement should have gone further to protect labor rights, etc. and the news story continues..

More Proof America Being Set Up For Ultimate False Flag! Obama Builds 'Wall' Around Terror Investigations - Is He Protecting ISIS Sleeper Cells Already Here In America, Preparing To Slaughter Americans?

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

Just when we thought the bizarro-world we live in couldn't get any more outrageous, we learned today from Infowars and the Washington Free Beacon about the latest 'Washington DC' decisions that have left much of the rest of America scratching our heads in bewilderment. At a time when the Chairman of the House Homeland Security Commission issues a new warning about ways ISIS might attack America, our own president is shutting down investigations into finding them. We first learned that the Barack Obama White House is now blocking the investigations into over 100 terrorists who are already in America from Infowars. Telling us that leading US senators on Monday petitioned multiple Obama administration agencies to stop the stonewalling of a Congressional investigation into the immigration histories of 113 'foreign-born' individuals who have already been implicated in terrorist operations we have to ask: WHY? Is this more proof that this administration is aiding and abetting terrorists? What happens if even ONE person on this list commits a terrorist act? Shouldn't this entire administration be held responsible for their 'action' taken of 'inaction'? Possibly an even more important question; how many more terrorists, beyond those 113, are already in America? We've all seen what's happened to Europe since the Muslim 'Hijrah' began there behind the guise of 'refugees'. We learn here that as high a number as 31% of the Syrian refugees may be ISIS sympathizers. And now, ISIS has put out a handbook showing their agents of terror how to act like Christians so that they can 'blend in' as detailed in the 1st video below. Are Christians and Americans being set up for slaughter? We also learned from the Free Beacon that another 41 immigrants have already been caught here in America on terror charges but the Obama administration is withholding details. Why are we getting no information whatsoever from our public servants about the terrorists inside America who have said they want to kill us? Additionally we learned yesterday from the Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee Texas Representative Michael McCall via his new book that places like Disney World, the Academy Awards and the Mall of America could easily be hit by terrorists via biological attacks, quickly sending America into massive panic while potentially killing thousands. From the Free Beacon.: Following the discovery of a terrorist cell in Texas allegedly operated by an Iraqi who entered the United States as a refugee, the Washington Free Beacon has learned of an additional 41 individuals who have been implicated in terrorist plots in the United States since 2014, bringing the total number of terrorists discovered since that time to 113, according to information provided by Congressional sources. Since August, however, the Obama administration has stonewalled Congressional efforts to obtain more detailed immigration histories of these individuals, prompting frustration on Capitol Hill and accusation that the administration is covering up these histories to avoid exposing flaws in the U.S. screening process. (ANP: Is there another reason they're covering this up?) As the number of legal immigrants connected to terrorism continues to grow, the Obama administration has sought to quash congressional inquiries and rally its allies behind an effort to fund efforts to boost the number of immigrants and refugees from the Middle East. Many of these immigrants have been caught by authorities planning terrorist attacks on American soil, while others were found to be involved in efforts to provide funding and material to ISIS, according to an internal list of migrant terrorists codified by congressional sources and viewed by the Free Beacon. “A growing number of foreign-born terrorists are being identified operating within the United States, and yet the Administration will not provide any information about their immigrant histories,” said one senior congressional source apprised of the issue. “And one can only imagine that for every identified terrorist, there are many more individuals around them who are radicalized, extreme or otherwise detracting from American society in ways beyond the threat of terrorism alone.” Why is the Obama administration stonewalling these investigations? As ANP has previously reported, America is clearly being set up for a massive fall while this administration allows a countless number of 'sleepers' into the country, while fighting against any attempt for the American people to learn more about the few terrorists who we've already caught. Their silence on this matter speaks louder than their words and clearly shows who's setting America up for a massive fall. Their inaction, stonewalling the investigation into hundreds of known terrorists, speaks of treason. In the videos below, we learn much more about what is happening around the world now including the first video in which we learn that new ISIS handbook is teaching jihadis how to blend into Christian nations. In the 2nd video we hear more about the Obama administration's 'stone walling' of investigations into terrorists already here in America. In the 3rd video we learn that the US is now preparing to transfer 13 more detainees out of Gitmo. In the 4th video we learn of a sick new project of 'jihadi universities', helping terrorists commit terror by using drones to attack large numbers of people at once. In the 5th video below, former CIA Director Michael Morrel completely contradicts Obama on the growth of ISIS, telling us that they are growing stronger around the world with a goal of a global caliphate, including the raising of the ISIS flag over America.

Girl, 17, is ‘raped’ and her 14-year-old sister sexually assaulted as she tried to save her from Muslim migrants at German public swimming pool

ByPamela Geller on January 12, 2016

By Corey Charlton for MailOnline, January 12, 2016

Three Syrian teenagers have been arrested for an attack on a girl at a swimming pool in Germany, as the country grapples with growing concerns about sex crimes perpetrated by asylum seekers. The three boys are alleged to have surrounded the 17-year-old girl in the pool before one of them groped her underneath her swimming costume, in an offence deemed rape under local law. When the girl’s sister, 14, tried to make them stop, she too was groped by the trio of teenagers, who were all aged under 15. The girls managed to flee and raise the alarm with the lifeguard at the swimming pool, who called police. Because the asylum seekers were only 15, they were not remanded in custody and were released, and will be prosecuted under juvenile law. etc. and the news story continues..

Firearm sales in Austria are up 350% due to 'unease' over increasing number of migrants... months after dealers warned they had virtually sold out of shotguns

Gun sales in the tiny Alpine country have quadrupled since last year

The industry claims this is due to migrant fears following the Paris attacks

November and December showed huge demands for non lethal weapons

Dealers say Tasers, pepper spray and blank-firing guns are in demand

By Corey Charlton for MailOnline Published: 06:15 EST, 13 January 2016 | Updated: 06:22 EST, 13 January 2016

Gun sales have jumped 350 per cent in Austria amid 'unease' over increasing numbers of migrants following the Paris terror attacks, firearm dealers have claimed. The final months of 2015 showed increases in gun permit applications, while dealers reported huge demand for self defence weapons such as tasers, pepper spray and blank firing-guns. It comes just months after shotguns were reported to have sold out across the country as residents became increasingly paranoid about refugee numbers. etc. and the news story continues..

$1 trillion erased from stocks so far in 2016

by Matt Egan @mattmegan5 January 12, 2016: 12:52 PM ET

Wall Street's disastrous start to 2016 has caused roughly $1 trillion to vanish from the stock market. The eye-popping losses highlight the deep fears that has gripped financial markets over China's economic slowdown and crashing oil prices. That one-two punch caused the Dow and S&P 500 to suffer their worst start to a trading year on record last week. The S&P 500's market valuation has plunged by $1.04 trillion since the end of 2015, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. To put that stunning figure in context, it's like wiping out the combined value of the following tech giants: Google (GOOGL, Tech30) ($508 billion), Facebook (FB, Tech30) ($281 billion), Intel (INTC, Tech30) ($154 billion), Netflix (NFLX, Tech30) ($50 billion) and Yahoo (YHOO, Tech30) ($29 billion). The Dow's market cap has plunged by $310 billion through Monday's close, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. That's equivalent to ExxonMobil (XOM) ($309.5 billion) being erased from the index. The Nasdaq, the star of 2015, is also off to a terrible start. It's down about 7% so far in 2016 and on Monday notched its eighth losing day in a row. That's the longest losing streak for the Nasdaq since 2008. Small-cap stocks are getting rocked even more than their larger cousins. The Russell 2000 has already tumbled 7% this year and narrowly avoided closing on Monday in a bear market, which signals a 20% decline from previous highs. No wonder there are lots of signs of rising fear on Wall Street. CNNMoney's Fear & Greed Index is now flashing "extreme fear," a dramatic reversal from "neutral" just two weeks ago. etc. and the news story continues..

Global Stock Market Crash Goes Wild As Fed Goliath Dies

As stock markets all over the globe start the week with more cliff diving, following their worst opening week in history, I’d like to take this opportunity to jam my finger in the central bank’s eye. The Federal Reserve’s recovery plan — which I’ll call “Goliath” because of its giant monetary expansion — is now dying. Its obituaries are quickly hitting newspapers all over the world. Even as markets struggle to catch their breath, the amount of chop is extraordinary: first a hundred points above the line, two hours later a hundred points below, and then finishing barely above. Stock markets yesterday and today look like boats bouncing across a choppy bay. Even the Fed appears to doubt how well it saw the storm that is developing out of its own plan, and a few of its rats are jumping ship. What is by far most notable is that forecasts of more gale force winds during all this upheaval are no longer relegated to bearish blogs like mine. A whole chorus of moaning bulls has joined the growling bears in just one week’s time, including two Federal Reserve officials who helped create the recovery plan. Says MarketWatch, Market bears roared last week. What now? Chart watchers have offered up predictions on what’s next for US stocks after assessing the damage from last week. The drop ranked as the worst five-day start to a year ever for both the S&P and the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Is it time to jump back in, especially if the market rebounds this week? Don’t plan on that technical analysis suggest. Even the normally bullish JP Morgan says, Our view is that the risk-reward for equities has worsened materially. In contrast to the past 7 years, when we advocated using the dips as buying opportunities, we believe the regime has transitioned to one of selling any rally…. Clearly, equities are unlikely to keep falling in a straight line, with periodic rebounds likely. However, we believe that one should be using any bounces as selling opportunities. In other words, Get Out! Yes, JP Morgan is stating openly that it is shifting now away from its seven-year bullish position. JP isn’t the only normally bullish massive organization joining the prophets of doom and gloom by saying, Get out quick: “Sell mostly everything, except high quality bonds.” That’s the advice of RBS’s credit team in a note sent to clients last week on the heels of the disastrous start for stocks. Those analysts went into the year with a storm-gathering view — bearish on global commodities, China, emerging markets, and pretty sour on developed equities. Andrew Roberts, the bank’s credit chief, said he had a “pretty severe downside for the world” call. (MarketWatch) RBS has advised clients to brace for a “cataclysmic year” and a global deflationary crisis…. The bank’s credit team said markets are flashing the same stress alerts as they did before the Lehman crisis in 2008…. Andrew Roberts, the bank’s credit chief, said both global trade and loans are contracting, a nasty cocktail for corporate balance sheets and equity earnings, and uncharted waters given that debt ratios have reached record highs…. “Equities and credit have become very dangerous, and we have hardly even begun to retrace the ‘Goldilocks’ love-in of the last two years.” This is about return of capital, not return on capital. In a crowded hall, exit doors are small…. RBS … accuses the U.S. Federal Reserve of “playing with fire” by raising rates into the teeth of the storm…. RBS said the epicentre of global stress is China, where debt-driven expansion has reached saturation. The country now faces a surge in capital flight and needs a “dramatically lower” currency, a fresh leg of the rolling global drama that is likely to play out fast and furiously…. The next action by the Fed may be a humiliating volte-face and a rate cut…. The sell-off could become self-fulfilling and quickly metamorphose into the next global crisis. (Financial Post) Bank of America sounded a similar alarm to this one from the Royal Bank of Scotland (though not worded as strongly). So did Switzerland’s largest bank, UBS. Suddenly everyone wants to jump on the stock-market-crash bandwagon. I think the rapid change is because they don’t want to be caught with their pants down, looking really stupid for not having seen this coming. You see, the bear market that I’ve been predicting would hit right now is suddenly so clear that the bulls are panicking with “sell everything” orders. NOW, after the crash has begun (One of the major stock indexes, the Russel 2000, touched briefly into bear territory on Monday.) the permabulls are warning their clients to get out of the way. As is so typical of their inability to see a bear market coming, the permabulls are yelling “fire!” after everyone is already running for the exits. (And that’s why you don’t want to wait until the downturn is obvious before you listen to the bears and get out.) Even market advisors as far away as Australia can see that the US stock market is crashing. Says one Australian stock analyst, Global equities at the point of peak bearishness: It feels as though we are right in the epi-centre of the fear, panic and confusion in global markets…. There is a crescendo of bearish headlines deeply affecting emotions and making people less rational. Many are simply increasing cash weightings and hedges within their portfolio…. There is no doubt sentiment is shot to pieces and if you look at the big macro concerns they are easily trumping economic data, hence why the market swiftly bought US treasuries and sold stocks after a strong payrolls number…. Both high yield and investment-grade credit spreads have widened, implied volatility has increased and once again, financial conditions deteriorated. You can be certain that bearish headlines are, indeed everywhere, because analysts who generally advise people to invest in stocks don’t write that the bearish headlines are everywhere unless they know their clients can already see that. They are not announcing the news; they are admitting it. There is nothing equivocal in any of the statements above, except that I’d counter part of the last one by saying that people are actually becoming more rational as the illusion of economic recovery dissolves into the thin air it was created from. It only seems irrational if you are a citizen of Wonderland who was foolish enough to believe the bull market had a real basis for existing in the first place. It seems irrational if you were stupid enough to believe the Federal Reserve or your favorite central bank. Yet, even when market analysts finally start get it, they still don’t get it. Scott Minerd, who oversees $240 billion for Guggenheim Partners, says, Look for more downside for oil, equities and credit…. The first quarter is going to be rough but ultimately we should see this as a buying opportunity. The worst is yet to come. (NewsMax) It’s his predictable permabear statement that “ultimately we should see this as a buying opportunity” that says he still doesn’t get how far the drop will be. He doesn’t seem to be getting yet that this is a global economic collapse in the making. I guess it depends on how far out his “ultimately” goes. If he means a couple of years from now, I’ll give him that. Federal Reserve’s second mea culpa Even the Federal Reserve is starting to hedge its bets regarding Goliath’s success. Already, another Fed official has admitted the Fed didn’t see this coming. Two members in two weeks have come forward to say, “We got it wrong.” Last week we had Richard Fisher, a Federal Reserve official, give an I-warned-the rest-of-the-gang kind of mercy plea. (I.e., blame the others, not me.) This week, another reserve bank president steps forward: Last week we had a Federal Reserve FOMC member state that the Fed openly talked about “front-running” the US stock market and “juicing” the market in order to inflate stocks. This week another joins him to say “We got it wrong.” And that’s what makes a great week for me — watching members of the Federal Reserve begin to feel pressed to admit they got some things wrong. Actually, they got everything wrong, but circumstance

are not dire enough yet to force that much of a confession past their squeaking lips. It’s surprising to see them admit even this much so early in the crash phase. I just marvel at the sheer number of people who were blind enough to keep repeating that the US stock market wasn’t an asset bubble, particularly the number of reporters who regurgitated this tripe every time the Fed coughed it up. The reason I’ve been so brazen (and boastful) about betting my blog on this crash and on a global economic collapse is that I REALLY want to rub the Fed’s nose in their own stupidity for all those years when they claimed the stock market was not an asset bubble inflated by the Fed and for all the years the Fed believed it had created a true recovery … or claimed it believed it. I also want to rub the noses or reporters in it, who mostly parroted the Fed, and I want to kick some banker barons in the shins. Hopefully, there will be a few broken brokers out of this, too. Of course, you can suggest a more sinister reason as to why major players like all of those quoted above always make the call late: they want to get their own money off of the ship before they yell “fire” to their passengers. If you’re prone to conspiracy theories, you can accept the idea that they’re smart but corrupt captains who want to be the first to get an uncrowded lifeboat in the storm. Thus, they only yell “fire,” as they shove their own little boat away from the burning hull. (And I’d say there is good probability you are right.) However, as one not prone to conspiracy theories (because they are always easy to concoct and begging to exist for any operation that happens outside of daylight), I’m content to think CEOs, stock advisors, economists and the Federal Reserve (especially the latter) are a lot dumber than most people think. We foolishly believe people are rich because they are smart (or sometimes because they are thieves), while it is often just because they are really good at socializing. They can tip a martini and swing a club better than most, and so they land in grand positions. The bailout bankers are dumb because greed is blinding, as are publicly inflated egos of the kind like Ben Break-the-Banky, who authored a book to tell the world how bravely he led us out of the storm that is now about to capsize us. (Notice he’s no longer in the boat, having let his first mate, Yellen, become captain while he abandoned ship. She’ll have plenty to yell about now.) So, it’s easy for me to believe that the Federal Reserve actually believed in Goliath — its own bankrupt plan. I have to admit, though, one reason I’m reluctant to credit them with a grand conspiracy is that I think bloated banksters actually hurt more when you pop their pomposity by pointing out how financially stupid they must have been once their ship is clearly foundering on the rocks. You see, if they’re corrupt, they already know it and don’t care; whereas, the loudly proud never know they’re really quite blind and stupid. That’s the kind of truth that can smack them between the eyes like rock. Since truth is usually found in the balance, however, let us just conclude that they are both corrupt and stupid. (Then we can all be happy.) Corrupt enough to lie and save themselves first from their own plans, stupid enough to believe their own lie to where they are genuinely surprised when it doesn’t work. I also want to rub the noses of all economists and market analysts in this failure as much as I possibly can. I want to raise their fool factor exponentially. I want to call a lot of attention to it because they were all too daft to learn any lessons from the first huge crash of the Great Recession, which they were also too daft to see coming! We are now seeing the second belly of that recession open up as the Fed’s artificial props are removed from under it, and I said four years ago that is what you’d see as soon as the last props were removed. So, I want to make a big, BIG thing out of how a small guy like me, who isn’t even an economist, could see this coming, while they couldn’t, and how that small guy could see the last time coming in 2007, but they couldn’t. I want to be the finger in their eye. The reason it’s important to point out this could be seen coming by anyone willing to look at reality is this: If there are people who really did see both events coming, then the Feds & Friends cannot use the excuse that this outcome was humanly unknowable. If you’ve been following my Epocalypse series, you know it is quite knowable. The world needs to see that the experts they trust are either incredibly stupid … or liars. Because if the world doesn’t see that … we’re going for another big round of bankster bailouts and Federal Reserve lies as people blindly trust their governments to lead us out of this mess. People will forgive the Federal Reserve or other central banks if they believe this is something no one could see coming. So, I tried to make as much noise as a little guy can before it happened in order to say, YOU CAN SEE IT COMING! That way, when it does come, you can shove me in their eye (or anyone who saw exactly when and how the failure of their plan would come). Jobs — The Fed’s supposed biggest concern — are crashing, too It’s not just the stock market that the Fed engineered that is now going down. The Fed’s other major goal was to improve jobs by boosting the stock market (old trickle-down economics theory). Jobs are going down now, too, though it may not look like it. The first thing the Fed will tout in its defense of recovery is that jobs have improved. So, let’s take a look at that stellar jobs report last week from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which claimed 292,000 new jobs in December. Ninty-Nine percent of the media (may their eyes be poked) gave that number an unscrutinized free pass as they have done with every jobs report because there is no such thing as investigative reporting any more. Regular readers may remember I noted in passing in my last article that the jobs report was “superficial.” David Stockman now reports that only 11,000 of those jobs were real! The rest were nothing but statistical adjustments made by the BLS! I’ll let his analysis be my explanation as to why I commented that the report was superficial and why the adjustment is BS, but here’s a quick summary: Among other tricks, the Bureau of Labor Statistics used its old “weather is bad in December and causes a seasonal drop in employment” trick as an excuse to factor the actual number of new jobs upward by what they THINK it would have been if the weather wasn’t bad. They, then, state the would-have-been as if it was. Only problem here is that this year the weather actually wasn’t bad. In fact, the weather was unseasonably splendid in much of the US! It was practically summer in our most populated region! So, if anything, they should have done their normal adjustment in reverse and said, “There would not have even been a gain of 11,000 jobs if it were not for the unseasonably pleasant climate. Here’s how the climate adjustment works: The BLS inflated new construction jobs by 196,000 on the basis that there would have been that many new construction jobs if not for all the snow. They managed to pass that argument off as credible last year, but what snow? Maybe their theory is that this year, all the construction workers took vacation time so they could lay out on their lounge chairs and catch the lovely winter rays. I think it’s time to take the “L” out of this department’s initials and make it the BS Department. In truth, jobs actually plummeted! The actual new jobs (the number before any adjustments) in December usually drops to somewhere around 190,000. The actual new jobs (number before any adjustments) last year was really only 9,000, though a much higher seasonally adjusted figure was reported. So new job numbers, both this year and last year, were HORRIBLE by comparison to the actual new jobs in most Decembers. Pay, of course, dropped incrementally down, too. (And next month watch for them to “seasonally adjust” unemployment numbers downward on the basis that most layoffs were due to the end of seasonal employment. They’ll probably even use the same number for adjustment that they used last year, even though some retailers and UPS reported hiring fewer seasonal helpers this year than last.) We do live in George Orwell’s new world order where government agencies actually create the truth. A true recovery, however, means the patient continues to live after life support is removed. If the patient starts dying as soon as the last life support is removed, there is no way anyone can credibly say he was ever recovering. There never was an economic recovery Please allow me to change my metaphor now from burning ships back to where I began with fallen giants. Economic recovery was always a giant illusion inflated by vast amounts of free fiat money, and supported in public view by tricky agencies like the Bureau of Lying Statistics (if they’re going to keep the “L” in their initials). I have maintained throughout the Fed’s celebrated recovery period of quantitative easing and zero interest that the illusion of recovery evaporates into the same thin air the money was created from as soon as the Fed’s free money ends. Soon, even the federal government’s official BS Department won’t be able to paper over the Fed’s failure. I have maintained throughout the “recovery” that nothing the Fed was doing was sustainable because none of it fixed any of our economic flaws. The Fed cannot fix the flaws because Fed is the flaw — right to its core. The Federal Reserve creates money by creating debt. So, to pump more liquidity (money) into the system to “juice it up,” as Richard Fisher described in his confession, the Fed created more debt, but debt is the problem. You cannot solve a problem by creating more of the problem! The Federal Reserve is actually owned by banks, and banks are the beneficiaries of the direct deposits of all money the Fed creates, though the banksters have to share some board and committee positions with government appointees (some of whom once worked for the banks and some of whom receive much higher-paying posts at banks after serving on the Fed). While Goliath, the Fed’s recovery plan, is dying, the Fed Philistines will continue to be the global powerhouse that rules the world financially unless a massive public outcry develops over the obvious crash of their plans as that failure now unfolds. So, my part in the very small scheme of things is to do my best to raise that cry in order to bring an end to all this nonsense before it repeats itself this year; but I cannot do my part without your volunteer effort. More than anything else, I want to rub the Fed’s nose in this massive failure that is now going to become evident by saying, “How did you not see this coming? How could your Goliath plan of recovery NOT fail? Are you that blind or just that corrupt … or both? How could you, the money god, with all of your minions paid to crunch numbers and all of your brainy analysts, not see something that was so predictable that this unknown David could lay out the exact timing and pattern of Goliath’s fall with his little blog?” You see, my bet and my boast is not about how smart one person is; it is about how extremely dumb (or corrupt; you choose according to your persuasion) was the Fed’s Goliath plan. Of course a dumb plan takes a dumb or corrupt bunch of Philistines to concoct the plan. I also want to point out how dumb anyone else is if they continue to believe in Goliath or in the Federal Reserve, itself, as Goliath’s fall now happens. That becomes inexcusable now that this fall was so precisely predicted and with such certainty by a mere shepherd boy surrounded by towering economists. I’ve been so brazen about my predictions of the fall of the Fed’s giant recovery plan because this is the time this blog was made for. I really want to cut off the giant’s head now as it hits the ground. I want people to see how quickly and easily the quantitative giant crashed to the ground so that no one will allow the Fed to try to resurrect this hideous beast they created. So, I hope your Fed-up enough to take a stand because it won’t happen without you. I’m just one small person, barely heard of. It won’t happen unless you share in the fun of poking the Fed in the eye by sharing this post via email, your own blog, backlinks in comments you leave in other discussion of news articles you come across, and via the buttons provided here. Keep putting the word out there about how the Fed has failed, cutting off excuses before they are made so they will already be unacceptable in the public mind by the time the Fed thinks of them. Then maybe their excuses, seen for what they are, will get booed off the stage. People need to see that the Fed is completely without excuse … and so is the US government … and so it most of the media that never asked the kinds of questions that have been raised here for four years. The fact that this was foreseeable is an argument laid out here for four years so that, when the Federal Reserve’s Goliath program finally ended, people would be able to see that Goliath’s fall was completely predictable. I’m sure you’re Fed-up. Blame congress, too, as neither party has lifted a finger to make sweeping changes in the economy. As the fake economy finally crashes and all the perps start to point the finger at each other, now is the time to turn up the flame and direct it at those who are to blame.

Obama: “There are no existential threats” to US, not even the Islamic State

January 12, 2016 4:57 pm By Robert Spencer

These are words that are likely to be recalled bitterly in the coming years. “President Obama: ‘There Are No Existential Threats’ to the United States,” by Alex Griswold, Mediaite, January 12th, 2016:

In an interview with NBC’s Today on the morning of his final State of the Union address, President Barack Obama told interviewer Matt Lauer that the United States didn’t face a single existential threat as his presidency approached its end. “It is sometimes important for people to step back and measure how far we’ve come,” Obama argued. “The economy right now is better than any other economy in the world by a significant margin. We remain the strongest nation on earth by far and there are no existential threats facing us.” “If we make some good choices now, whoever the next president is, whoever is controlling the next Congress there, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t own the 21st century,” he said. Lauer went on to ask Obama specifically about the threat posed by ISIS and other terror groups. “Your daughters are young ladies. When they get to be your age, President Obama, do you believe in your heart that they will be living in a world that is dealing with the threat of radical Islam on a daily basis?” “I am absolutely confident we will have defeated ISIL,” Obama responded. “I don’t think we have to wait until they are 54 for that to happen.”

China on Track to Build Its Very First Military Base in Africa

January 12, 2016 | Joshua Krause | The Daily Sheeple

With a string of hundreds of military bases scattered all over the world, the US has long been the world’s indisputable global superpower. Few nations even have an overseas military presence, let alone multiple bases on six different continents. However, it appears the US is about to find another competitor in the global hegemony game. China has just signed a 10 year contract with the government of Djibouti to create a military base near the Red Sea. The base will be a logistics hub and airfield, which will give the Chinese military an extensive reach into the continent. Both the US and China have been competing for economic and political influence in the resource rich continent for some time now, but this is the first time that China has challenged America’s military presence in Africa. The base is clearly an effort to stymie America’s influence, since it’s located not far from a US military hub in Djibouti, known as Camp Lemonnier. History may mark this moment as the beginning of the end of America’s dominance over Africa. While US corporate and military interests often invite chaos and insurgency to every nation they arrive in (i.e. Libya), the Chinese are more interested in providing mutually beneficial investment opportunities to the impoverished nations of Africa. The US on the other hand, prefers to bully poor nations into giving up their resources, and overthrow governments that don’t play ball. etc. and the news story continues..

IS claims Jakarta attack, targets Indonesia for first time; 7 killed

By AT Editor on January 13, 2016 in Southeast Asia, Top News (From Reuters)

Indonesia blamed Islamic State for an attack by suicide bombers and gunmen in the heart of Jakarta on Thursday that brought the radical group’s violence to the world’s most populous Muslim country for the first time. Just seven people were killed despite multiple blasts and a gunfight, and five of them were the attackers themselves, but the brazenness of their siege suggested a new brand of militancy in a country where low-level strikes on police are common. It took security forces about three hours to end the attack near a Starbucks cafe (Watch the video clip) and Sarinah’s, Jakarta’s oldest department store, after a team of at least seven militants traded gunfire with police and blew themselves up. An Indonesian and a Canadian were killed in the attack and 20 people, including a Dutchman who works for the United Nations Environment Program, were wounded. Two of the militants were taken alive, police said. “Islamic State fighters carried out an armed attack this morning targeting foreign nationals and the security forces charged with protecting them in the Indonesian capital,” Aamaaq news agency, which is allied to the group, said on its Telegram channel. etc. and the news story continues..

U.S. meets tech leaders, forms task force to fight online militants

By Dustin Volz and Mari Saito Fri Jan 8, 2016 | 6:19 PM EST

WASHINGTON/SAN JOSE (Reuters) - The Obama administration on Friday sent its top national security officials to meet tech industry leaders in Silicon Valley and announced a new task force to counter online propaganda as the United States tries to crack down on the unprecedented use of the Internet by jihadists. White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough led a high-level government delegation that held talks with representatives from some of the country's biggest technology companies, including Apple CEO Tim Cook. It was the latest effort by the Obama administration to cajole tech firms to be more cooperative with the intelligence community following a rift prompted by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden's disclosures, which detailed government surveillance. The talks, at a government complex next to San Jose City Hall, were described by a senior administration official as a “technological brainstorming meeting” to look at ways to make it harder for violent extremists to use the Internet to recruit support or to plan attacks. "We explained our policies and how we enforce them - Facebook does not tolerate terrorists or terror propaganda and we work aggressively to remove it as soon as we become aware of it," a Facebook spokesman said etc. and the news story continues..

FBI Posing As Militia: Burns, Oregon

John Jacob Schmidt — January 13, 2016

BREAKING NEWS– RFR

Burns, OR — The FBI have reportedly been following citizens around the town in vehicles, but not apparently in any official capacity. They’re posing as militia. Nevada State Legislator Michele Fiore reported that she had a conversation less than an hour ago with Fire Marshall Chris Briels. He said at 12:26pm Pacific Time on 13 January, that the Sheriff’s Office and Judge Grasty announced to the community that the ‘militia’ has been following people and harassing citizens throughout the town. When he saw what he thought was militia “Poking around the armory” and following people he took it upon himself to pull them over. He reported to Fiore that the men posing as militia actually turned out to be FBI. Judge Grasty was reported to have literally screamed at the Delegation of Legislators who visited Burns over the past weekend, telling them they needed to leave the community, and warned them not to go out to the wildlife Refuge where Ammon Bundy and a group of patriots are occupying the visitor’s center. The legislators were in Burns on a fact finding mission and to get all sides of the story. Some citizens are wondering why Grasty wants to thwart any outside investigations into the BLM’s questionable, if not illegal, activities involving the isolated ranching community. Many are also questioning the apparent lack of separations of powers in the community, given the involvement of Grasty in the legislative, judicial, and executive branches of the local government. It has also been reported that Judge Grasty appointed the current Sheriff, David Ward, who recently said that time is running out for the patriots at the Refuge. There seems to be many more questions than answers surrounding the BLM and their relationship with some of the local officials, but the one question I have, is why are some in Harney County so upset about ‘outsiders’ snooping around? The following was not prepared for release at the time of the above-posting, so here is a report received directly from Assemblywoman Fiore:

Updated 1551hrs 20160113 January 13, 2016

PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION UNLIMITED RELEASE

SUBJECT: Assemblywoman Michele Fiore “FBI Agents in Oregon posing as Militia.”

The Coalition of Western States represents over 50 legislators and grass roots leaders predominantly in the Western United States dedicated to stopping federal overreach. Nevada Assemblywoman Michele Fiore of Nevada & COWS (Coalition of of Western States) has released a statement regarding the Oregon Standoff. I just got off the phone with the former Fire Chief of Burns, Chris Briels, the Burns Fire Chief from 1984 to 2006. When he retired in 2006 the county asked him to stay on as the county Fire Marshall. According to the conversation I had with Chief Briels today at 12:26pm Pacific time, he disclosed to me that the Sheriff’s office and Judge Grasty has been telling the community that the “militia” have been following and harassing people. Chief Briels observed what he thought was “militia” poking around the Armory and following townspeople so he took it upon himself to pull them over. According to Chief Briels these men posing as “militia” were the FBI. Chief Briels was so upset he has just resigned as the county Fire Marshall. He has gone public with this information.

Gerald Celente Is On Fire! Completely Destroys Obama's State Of Union And Tells Us Why America Is Finished As Canada 'Feels The Great Depression' - Is THIS What's Coming To America Next?

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

Gerald Celente from the Trends Journal is not known as a man to mince words and in the newly released interview below with Gary Franchi of the Next News Network, Celente is absolutely on fire as he rips Barack Obama's 'state of the union' address to pieces. "Everything this guy's done has been failure" Celente tells us as fire comes out of his eyes. The comments on the YouTube video seen below tell us how much Celente nails it in this outstanding video. Much more below video including the unfolding situation in Canada that has some already talking 'great depression' and a new video from the X22Report about Russia's latest move away from the US dollar and our economy. Gary, how the hell did you keep a straight face as this man Mr Celente skewered Hussein Obama? I was laughing and also loving every word. Thanks Gary, Gerald is the main source of truth...just as you are The Chief enemy of the US Constitution is radically islamic and currently resides in THE WHITE HOUSE. Any wonder he fails to designate THE ENEMY?? What will the Oath Keepers do? That dude is awesome Somebody start a Whitehouse petition to get Gerald celente into Obamas chair. Hey FOLKS! ~ Love Gerald Celente, a REAL man!!! On a day that we learned from Zero Hedge that Canadians are panicking due to soaring food prices due to a collapsing currency, Celente doesn't hold back and begins by mocking Obama's Nobel peace prize as a man responsible for the deaths of a countless number of people around the world not to mention continuing his predecessors legacy of war, war and more war. Why hasn't Obama shed a tear for the countless number of innocent people throughout the world he's slaughtered with drones like the 'crocodile tear' he recently shed over Sandy Hook? For those who aren't aware, Celente has been pushing 'Occupy Peace' and we couldn't agree with him more. For humanity to have a chance, we need more people like Celente to speak out and take action. Our Nobel Peace prize winning president has been a failure in the 'peace' department and in Obama's own words, shared by Celente here, our commander-in-chief is "very good at killing people". How many more will die because of his policies, policies of endless war that Celente rips to shreds in this video? Celente proves to us that most of the words coming out of Barack Obama's mouth during his last State of the Union speech consisted of endless drivel as all around the world we see economies coming unglued. In Canada we see another sign that the economic world is beginning to come unraveled as Canadians are now paying $15.99 for a box of Frosted Flakes, $31.99 for a bottle of Tide, $3 per cucumber (if you buy 2), $17.79 for a gallon of chocolate milk and $8.19 for eggs as seen in the twitter screenshots seen directly below. We also learned today from King World News that a major signal preceding stock market crashes in 1929, 2000 and 2008 was just triggered as the price of oil prepares to drop below the price of water as shared in this story the Telegraph. Zero Hedge told us that 2015 Q4 will be the worst US earnings season since the 3rd quarter of 2009. The end of 2015 and into 2016 clearly has us in some very good company. From Zero Hedge.: It gets even worse. According to Bloomberg, on a share-weighted basis, S&P 500 profits are expected to have dropped by 7.2% in 4Q, while revenues are expected to fall by 3.1% This would represent the worst U.S. earnings season since 3Q 2009, and a third straight quarter of negative profit growth. It's no longer simply a recession: as noted above, the Q4 EPS drop follows declines of 3.1% in Q3 and 1.7% in Q2. it is... whatever comes next. As Bloomberg adds, the main driving forces behind drop in U.S. earnings are the rise in the dollar index (thanks Fed) and the drop in average WTI oil prices. However, since more than half of all industries are about to see an EPS decline, one can't blame either one or the other. So while we know what to expect from Q4, a better question may be what is coming next, and according to the penguin brigade, this time will be different, and the hockey stick which was expected originally to take place in Q4 2015 and then Q1 2016 has been pushed back to Q4 2016, when by some miracle, EPS is now expected to grow by just about 15%. Zero Hedge also tells us that the bursting of the bond market has begun as the world is awash in far too much debt. Telling us that the bond bubble is more than $100 trillion, with an EXTRA $555 TRILLION in derivatives trading based upon it, we see evidence everywhere that corporations around the world have been issuing record amounts of debt, a great deal of that in US dollars. Because of this, and much more, the financial system is much more leveraged with absolute garbage debt than it was in 2008. While Barack Obama says the US economy is 'great' while we see the economic world falling apart all around us we have to ask what he sees that we don't see? Is what Canada is dealing with coming to America next? This is clearly just the beginning and with economic armageddon all around us we see things likely to get much worse before they get much better. Fortunately, not all foods are getting more expensive but unfortunately, it's the junk food and other foods that aren't healthy that are becoming more cheap as we see in the screenshot below. Is Canada now suffering from a 'Great Depression'? Things can clearly get much, murch worse, and as we see here, it's likely to before it gets much better.

The Mark of the Beast Is Now Required to Fly and Drive and Soon It Will Be to Buy and Sell

14 Jan, 2016 by Dave Hodges

Revelation 13:18 16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.

Inch by Inch, It Is a Cinch From a Christian perspective, the Anti-Christ is rearing his ugly head. Through the practice of incrementalism, tremendous strides are being made with regard to end times prophecy. The Obama administration is marching this country at a rapid pace towards the inevitable forced acceptance of the Mark of the Beast. ‘ Through numerous articles written and published on The Common Sense Show, it is so clear the federal government, in particular, the Obama administration have made tremendous strides towards the persecution of Christians. As our country freely admits hundreds of thousands Muslim males, yes almost exclusively males, from the Middle East, none of the the admitted immigrants are persecuted Christians. The beheadings of Christians in the Middle East is tolerated by this administration. Persecuted Christians, in the Middle East are left to face their fate without any intervention on the part of the Obama administration. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of Muslim refugees, from parts of the world who hate America, are admitted without checking backgrounds for terrorist ties. And the FBI has publicly admitted that 10% of all Muslims are radicalized and should be considered to be dangerous. Why aren’t these Christians being admitted to the United States under the Refugee/Resettlement Program? The American People Are the Enemy of the Obama Administration As the American people are forced to pay for their own demise through anti-American programs such as the Refugee/Resettlement Program, where Muslim immigrants are not screened and free to move anywhere in the country. Meanwhile, American citizens must, as of January 22, 2016, carry the REAL ID, or they cannot travel on airplanes, or drive their cars. The REAL ID requirements extend to driving privileges in addition to airline travel. That’s right. If your state driver’s license does not meet REAL ID standards, you will need to carry another acceptable form of identification, and likely will not be able to legally drive. This represents the incremental practice of getting the American public conditioned to the Mark of the Beast. The REAL ID card does nothing to protect America as we blindly admit thousands of would-be terrorists without screening them. As the citizens of Sweden and Germany how well this process is working for them More importantly, we are seeing the unfolding of Biblical prophecy before our very eyes. With the soon-t0-be enforcement of the REAL ID card, where one cannot legally travel without it, ask yourself how long will it be until you will not be able to buy and sell without being marked by the federal government? How long will it be until this administration makes Christians display something like the infamous J Stamp? Yes, I know, you say that it cannot happen here and that is precisely what the Jews said in the 1930’s. Does anyone have any idea why these facilities were constructed? Why aren’t the Syrians immigrants being relocated to one of these camps? Is it because the American people would be out of striking distance? Maybe it’s because the honored guests in these facilities are going to be Christians.

Western Europe Jewish migration to Israel hits all-time high

Associated Press Thursday, January 14, 2016

JERUSALEM — Jewish immigration to Israel from western Europe has reached an all-time high as a result of a rise in anti-Semitic attacks, a leading nonprofit group said Thursday, as France's beleaguered Jewish community grapples with whether to refrain from donning Jewish skull caps for their own safety. The Jewish Agency, which works closely with the Israeli government and acts as a link to Jews around the world, told The Associated Press that 9,880 western European Jews immigrated to Israel in 2015 — the highest annual number ever. The figure is more than 10 percent over the previous year and over double the 2013 level. The vast majority, close to 8,000, came from France, where a rise in anti-Semitic attacks has shattered the sense of security of the world's third-largest Jewish population. etc. and the news story continues..

'Whether you acknowledge it or not, we are living in end times,' says Kim Davis

Czarina Ong 14 January 2016

Kentucky clerk Kim Davis made an uphill battle last year to uphold her Christian values, but she expects that things will get worse this 2016. "There is a lot of Bible prophecy that has to be fulfilled. Whether you acknowledge it or not, we are living in end times," Davis said in a recent interview with The Christian Post. "How soon will the Lord return? I don't know, but definitely there are signs that we are in the end of times and there is a lot of stuff that has to happen to fulfill Bible prophecy. The Word of God is infallible, and so I suspect it will get a lot worse." etc. and the news story continues..

The Islamist group says it has taken "complete control" of the AU camp and killed more than 60 Kenyan soldiers. Residents told the BBC that al-Shabab had raised its flag at a camp for Kenyan troops and said insurgents had paraded bodies through the town. But Kenya's army spokesman said it was a nearby Somali base that was stormed and Kenyan troops counter-attacked. The number of casualties on both sides was not known, Kenyan military spokesman Col David Obonyo said in a statement. etc. and the news story continues.

Brussels migration chief admits EU has ‘failed’ after only 272 refugees relocated

THE European Union’s top migration official today admitted Brussels’ controversial quota scheme to relocate 160,000 refugees throughout the bloc has failed.

By Greg Heffer, Political Reporter

PUBLISHED: 14:09, Thu, Jan 14, 2016 | UPDATED: 14:13, Thu, Jan 14, 2016

Dimitris Avramopoulos, the EU’s migration and home affairs commissioner, was grilled by MEPs after Brussels last week revealed just 272 refugees have been relocated from Italy and Greece despite the promise to move thousands of migrants over the next two years. In response to questions, he said: “Relocation does not work, you said it.” And he warned that if EU member states are “prisoners of their domestic agenda” - amid a growing backlash to the refugee crisis across Europe - the relocation scheme will continue to “fail”. The top bureaucrat also warned “the situation is getting worse” as he noted that up to 4,000 people were arriving in Greece every day over Christmas and New Year. More than a million people reached Europe’s shores by sea alone last year, with many of them fleeing war and persecution across the Middle East and North Africa. Mr Avramopoulos highlighted how “more and more member states are reintroducing border controls" in response to Europe’s ongoing migrant crisis. Germany, Sweden, Denmark and Austria are all among those to have recently taken steps to bolster their frontiers, despite being members of Europe’s borderless Schengen Area. etc. and the news story continues..

Danger Ahead: World Economic Forum Rates Migration ‘Biggest Single Risk’ in 2016 Ahead Of Davos

by Reuters14 Jan 201631

LONDON (Reuters) – We live in an increasingly dangerous world, with political, economic and environmental threats piling up, according to experts polled by the World Economic Forum. Ahead of its annual meeting in Davos next week, the group’s 2016 Global Risks report on Thursday ranked the migrant crisis as the biggest single risk in terms of likelihood, while climate change was seen as having the greatest potential impact. Around 60 million people have been displaced by conflicts from Syria to South Sudan, pushing refugee flows to record levels that are some 50 percent higher than during World War II. Coupled with attacks such as those on Paris last year and geopolitical fault lines stretching from the Middle East to the South China Sea, the world is today arguably less politically stable than at any time since the end of the Cold War. Economic fears, particularly for Chinese growth, and increasingly frequent extreme weather events are further red flags, resulting in a greater breadth of risks than at any time in the survey’s 11-year history. etc. and the news story continues..

'The Most Extreme I've Ever Seen' - Horrifying Disasters Leave Heartbreaking Death And Carnage In Their Paths

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

As most ANP readers know by now, as well as those who read ENENews regularly, we're watching a pair of disasters unfolding upon the West coast of America.... one that is nearly 5 years old and the other much more new and palpable. While we'd all love for these disasters to just 'go away', we see in these new stories they're doing nothing of the sort and instead, getting much worse and leaving heartbreaking carnage in their paths. The story headlines today and yesterday from ENENews of our unfolding West coast disasters read like an overview of two disastrous horror movies, connected not by the 'monster' terrifying us but by America and a coastline that stretches from California to Alaska. Both disasters caused in part by our relentless and quite reckless pursuit of power, nuclear and methane, we have to ask once more, what has humanity done to our world? If you don't care about what's happening to the wildlife in the Pacific Ocean and on the West coast, you don't have a heart. The headlines of the two separate disaster stories, created years apart, almost read as if they were one, and if you really think about it, they are...this is what is happening to our planet and wildlife right now.: TV: “Carcasses littering beaches for miles” on Pacific coast of Alaska — “Complete reproductive failure” — “Horrifying… Horrid… Mind-boggling… Off the charts” — Unprecedented die-off “has potential to be biggest mortality event in state history” — “The most extreme I’ve ever seen” (VIDEOS) Experts: Multiple types of radioactive material constantly being emitted from LA gas blowout — “I’d be running like hell” — “We are getting higher and higher levels…it’s accumulating” — “Poisons spreading through entire San Fernando Valley” home to 2 million people — “Thousands getting sick… it really is a major, major disaster” Amazingly, our mainstream media continues to give little to no press at all to Fukushima, which is leaving dead wildlife in its path all along the entire West coast and in the Pacific ocean. It's so sad that we've forgotten that what we do to our Earth, we do to ourselves. However, one completely wonderful quality about this planet is it has a way of 'eliminating' threats to it. If this is what humanity does to that which sustains life, maybe the Earth is better without 'us'. If only our planet could 'select' who to 'eliminate' and focus on those who've created the carnage. Much more below include several new video reports from the alternative news on the unfolding situations on the West coast and Japan including the bizarre news that the Japanese government now wants a refund for stomping out dissent as shared in the 1st video below from BeautifulGirlByDana. First, a little bit more from Los Angeles on why we should be concerned.: Kevin Kamps, Beyond Nuclear’s nuclear waste watchdog: “Another important thing that is very significant is that the radon is continually resupplied… Radon is going to be constantly generated by the uranium contained in the methane… So really you’ve got a chronic constant supply of hazardous radon gas coming out of this breach in California.” Richard Mathews, candidate for California State Senate who studied physics & astronomy at CALTECH: “People are really concerned about this, people are seriously getting sick… Thousands of people are getting sick from this — and it really is a major, major disaster… Methane floats away and spreads around the whole world… All the contaminants that are in with the methane are heavier than the air and that includes… benzene and toluene, hydrogen sulfide — all of those are heavier than air — they tend to stay close to the ground and move downhill. This is happening in the hills above the San Fernando Valley [home to nearly 2 million people] and so the poisons are all moving down into the San Fernando Valley and spreading through the entire San Fernando Valley. Terry Lodge, attorney: “You have a massive release, probably, of radon going on — and there may actually also be radium particulate… I’d be taking very rapid steps [if I lived in the area], I’d be running like hell. And the reason is, I suspect that there’s little by way of emergency anticipation — what could possibly go wrong? We have this vast underground storage facility… There are not radiation monitors… the problem is sort of the Three Mile Island problem. If all of this isn't bad enough, we also recently learned from Tap News that Los Angeles is 'drowning in methane' as seen in the graphic below which monitors methane levels throughout the city. The 2nd video below explains the graphic below which proves to us that Los Angeles is in very, very bad shape. The Home Energy Efficiency Team (HEET) is a Cambridge-based nonprofit that’s been shedding light on leaky natural gas infrastructure for years. Last week, HEET sent Boston University Professor Nathan Phillips and Bob Ackley of Gas Safety out to LA to measure pollution in the air surrounding Porter Ranch. Armed with a laser gas analyzer that can sniff out airborne methane with parts-per-billion precision, Phillips and Ackley drove around the LA area measuring methane concentrations for a period of five days. Every time their analyzer detected elevated gas levels, it plotted the numbers to Google Earth. The red bars on their maps indicate where they drove, with higher bars corresponding to higher methane concentrations. Here's a little bit of a taste of what's now happening all along our West coast, from California to Alaska. Is this REALLY the legacy and the planet that we want to leave our children? How long will it be until all of this comes home? AP, Jan 12, 2016: “It was pretty horrifying,” [Seabird biologist David Irons] said… An estimated 8,000 of the black and white birds were found dead on the Whittier beach, said [USGS’s] John Piatt… “That’s unprecedented, that sheer number in one location is off the charts,” he said. KTVA, Jan 6, 2016: “It’s a major event and it’s difficult to see,” said Kathy Kuletz, the seabird coordinator for Fish and Wildlife. On Wednesday afternoon, Justin Siemens [said] “It’s super crazy. I’ve always seen a little bit of die off… but nothing like this,” [Kuletz] said this has the potential to be the biggest mortality event in the state’s history — numbers could reach more than 100,000. KTVA, Jan 7, 2016: Carcasses littered beaches for miles outside Whittier… “Scientists tend to get blasé about this but this is bigger than I’ve ever seen,” [Irons] said. They know the birds are starving to death, they just don’t know why. “Seabird biologists say seabirds are indicators of the health of the ecosystem. Now they’re dying and that is telling us something.” Seward City News, Dec 30, 2015: It’s hard to miss the bloody bird carcasses strewn about town… None of this is normalAlarming numbers of seabird die-offs are also occurring this year from California up the coast to the Gulf of Alaska. etc. and the news story continues..

Judicial Watch Uncovers New State Department Records Confirming Arab Smuggling “Cells,” Al Qaeda Leader in Mexico.

JANUARY 13, 2016

For more than a decade the U.S. government has known that “Arab extremists” are entering the country through Mexico with the assistance of smuggling network “cells,” according to State Department documents obtained by Judicial Watch that reveal among them was a top Al Qaeda operative wanted by the FBI. Some Mexican smuggling networks actually specialize in providing logistical support for Arab individuals attempting to enter the United States, the government documents say. The top Al Qaeda leader in Mexico was identified in the September 2004 cable from the American consulate in Ciudad Juárez as Adnan G. El Shurkrjumah. The cable was released to Judicial Watch under the Freedom of Information Act. The new intelligence records were released as a result of an ongoing JW investigation into the critical national security threats on the southern border, specifically those created by Islamic terrorists teaming up with Mexican drug cartels to infiltrate and attack the U.S. In response to JW’s reporting in the last two years the Obama administration—through various spokespeople, including FBI Director James Comey—has vehemently denied that Islamic terrorists are operating in Mexican towns near American cities or entering the U.S. through the famously porous southern border. The State Department documents, which include substantial redactions supposedly to protect classified and personal information, contradict this. JW obtained them as part of an investigative series into Shukrijumah, an Al Qaeda operative also known as Javier Robles. In December, 2014 Shukrijumah was killed by the Pakistan Army in an intelligence-borne operation in South Waziristan. But before he died Shukrijumah helped plan several U.S. attacks, including plots to bomb Oprah Winfrey’s studio and detonate nuclear devices in multiple American cities. For years Shukrijumah appeared on the FBI’s most wanted list and, despite being sought by the agency, he crossed back and forth into the U.S. from Mexico to meet fellow militant Islamists in Texas. JW has reported that, as one of the world’s most wanted terrorists, Shukrijumah piloted an aircraft into the Cielo Dorado airfield in Anthony, New Mexico. The new State Department records show that U.S. authorities knew Shukrijumah was in Mexico because they say that the Regional Security Office (RSO) at the consulate in Ciudad Juárez used newspapers to distribute information throughout Sonora and Chihuahua, Mexico about the Al Qaeda operative at the request of the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force in El Paso. This appears on page 17 of the documents, which are linked above in their entirety. Of interesting note is that the government uses an exemption that applies to classified information to continue to withhold some of the records when the entire file was already declassified back in September, 2014. Information about Middle Eastern terrorists entering the U.S. through Mexico appears in a September 2, 2004 cable—declassified 10 years later—titled “CONFIDENTIAL INFORMANT, A PROVEN CI TO USG IN THE PAST, REPORTS ARAB CELLS WITHIN MEXICO.” It explains that a reputable government informant went to the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juárez and provided information pertaining to suspect Arab extremists who have been smuggled into the U.S. through the Mexican border. “The confidential source (SUBJECT) stated his family member, who is a human trafficker, knows the exact whereabouts of three Arabs who are currently being hidden in Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico,” the State Department cable reads. “Although not absolutely positive, one of the three is likely Adnan G. El Shukrijumah, alleged to be a Saudi Arabian terrorist cell leader thought to be in Mexico. SUBJECT also provided information on two smuggling networks, “cells,” that specialize in providing logistical support for Arab individuals attempting to enter the United States.” Many questions remain about the U.S. government’s relationship with Shukrijumah, but last spring JW obtained records from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) that indicate he was a Confidential Source/Informant for the government. Shukrijumah lived in South Florida’s Broward County and graduated from Broward Community College with a degree in computer engineering. Four months before the 9/11 terrorist attacks Shukrijumah fled the U.S. He was one of the suspected actors in a number of planned terror attacks in the U.S., including a plot to simultaneously detonate nuclear devices in several U.S. cities. Convicted terrorist Jose Padilla claimed to have trained with Shukrijumah to blow up U.S. apartment buildings using natural gas explosions. In 2010 Shukrijumah was indicted in the Eastern District of New York for his role in a terrorist plot to attack targets in the United States—including New York City’s subway system—and the United Kingdom, according the FBI. The plot against New York City’s subway system was directed by senior Al Qaeda leadership in Pakistan, the FBI says, and was directly related to a scheme by Al Qaeda plotters in Pakistan to use Western operatives to attack a target in the United States. A year earlier Shukrijumah helped plan a terrorist truck-bomb targeting Winfrey’s Harpo Studios in Chicago as well as the iconic Sears Tower. Two of his fellow conspirators—Emad Karakrah and Hector Pedroza Huerta—were arrested in 2014 for unrelated state crimes in different parts of the country. Karakrah got busted in Chicago on charges of making a false car bomb threat after leading police on a high-speed chase with an ISIS flag waving from his vehicle. Huerta, an illegal alien twice convicted for driving intoxicated, got nabbed in El Paso for drunk driving. Both Karakrah and Pedroza were released from custody in 2015 under highly unusual plea deals. The men formed part of a sophisticated narco-terror ring, exposed in a JW investigative series, with connections running from El Paso to Chicago to New York City. The operation includes an all-star lineup of logistics and transportation operatives for militant Islamists in the United State, drug and weapons smugglers for the Juarez drug cartel in Mexico, an FBI confidential informant gone rogue and two of the FBI’s most wanted terrorists. Shukrijumah was one of them and, though he’s dead, he is an important part of the puzzle and extremely relevant when connecting the dots in the narco-terror ring.

California Hospital Becomes First In US To Begin Prescribing “Ingestible Sensors” Named PROTEUS (Ancient Shapeshifting Demon That Could Mutate DNA Of Its Host) That Monitor And Report Patient’s Personal Information Through Data-Driven Communication

January 14, 2016 by SkyWatch Editor

Redwood City, California-based Proteus Digital Health announced its first US healthcare provider customer, Barton Health, which will prescribe the company’s Proteus Discover to patients. The company says this is the first time its technology has been implemented outside of a clinical trial setting in the US. Barton Health, a health system in Lake Tahoe, California, will use the medication adherence platform, which includes Proteus’s FDA-cleared ingestible sensor, in populations with uncontrolled and co-morbid hypertension. Implementation for other chronic conditions will follow if the first use case goes well. “Patients struggle with medication adherence for various reasons. When a non-adherent patient is not seeing results and the physician believes a patient is taking a medication, this may lead to unnecessary changes in treatment which can be costly for the patient and the health system,” Dr. Purvance, CEO of Barton Health, said in a statement. “This new product offering provides a data-driven communication channel between the medical provider and the patient that empowers the patient to take the appropriate dose of medication and better understand the importance of daily activity levels and other lifestyle changes.” etc. and the news story continues.

CBS Show 'Angel From Hell' Mocks Christianity

11:30AM EST 1/11/2016 Monica Cole/One Million Moms

CBS is now airing a Christian-bashing program titled Angel From Hell, about a "not-so-good" guardian angel starring Jane Lynch. The previews alone can make believers sick to their stomachs with the blasphemous content including crude humor, foul language and distasteful dialogue. The new show airs on Thursday evenings at 9:30 p.m. EST/8:30 p.m. CST with a 14-DL rating. This program is a new comedy that focuses on a holier-than-thou character who is anything but that. The network also cast children in scenes that are extremely inappropriate, such as the angel using foul language in front of them and then joking that she never promised to be G-rated. The premiere also included the angel hiding liquor in the children's clothes and saying, "My booze!" followed by a little boy saying, "That's so cool!" Almost every scene included the angel drinking alcohol from a flask, even on Sunday, and once at a bar. Not to mention the angel rides on a wrecking ball while busting up a concrete angel statue. Is nothing sacred anymore? Once again networks like CBS mock Christianity. Angel From Hell is a demeaning show portraying Christians in a negative light. This program is another attempt to distort the truth about Christianity. etc. and the news story continues.

Occupiers want U.S. to surrender all federal lands

BURNS – Protesters holding the bird sanctuary southeast of here want every county in the U.S. to start a process giving back federal land to the previous owners. They expect that process to start in Harney County with a citizens group processing deeds, according to Ryan Payne, a self-styled militiaman and a key leader of the refuge occupation that started two weeks ago. In an interview, Payne provided the most clear statement yet about what the occupiers want to achieve. They now call themselves Citizens for Constitutional Freedom. Besides stripping land from federal control, Ryan said the group wants ranchers Dwight Hammond Jr. and his son, Steven, released from federal prison immediately. He said the group wants to see a citizen inquest investigate the Hammonds' prosecution and report to the public on allegations of abuses by the government. The Hammond case is what drew Payne and his fellow protesters to the high desert of southeast Oregon. The Hammonds, longtime Harney County ranchers, were convicted in 2012 on federal arson charges for burning public land. They served prison terms after their trial, but had to return to prison Jan. 4 to serve their full five-year sentences when an appellate court declared the original shorter sentences illegal. The protesters hoped to spare the Hammonds prison by arranging sanctuary in Harney County. The Hammonds rejected that idea, voluntarily surrendering to a federal prison in California. The protesters haven't let up on their support of the Hammonds and subsequently expanded their objectives to a much larger ambition to change public land ownership. The group has been less than clear about what it wants. Ammon Bundy, the Arizona businessman who is the public face of the occupation, has said all week that his group would announce its exit strategy Friday at a public meeting in Burns, but the meeting got canceled in a dispute about where to hold it. Payne said the group believes the federal government has no constitutional authority to hold vast land tracts. He said any deed transferring land to the federal government should be considered void. That means, he said, all federal land in Harney County would be subject to the new process. It would apply to the 187,000 acres of the refuge, U.S. Forest Service holdings and more than 3 million acres of land managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The federal government holds title to 76 percent of Harney County, which measures about 10,000 square miles with a population of about 7,000. "There needs to be an unraveling process through the county recorder," Payne said. "Previously, the federal government acquired this land by extorting the people out of it." He said even in circumstances where the government bought the land, the transaction stands as illegal under the Constitution. He said the land would return to the last owner of record before the government took title. He said, however, that those making "beneficial use" of the land would have their rights to grazing or water preserved. Settling who gets the property – the previous owner or the current user – would be part of the process, he said. Payne said county government should undertake the task. "The people have faith and trust in county government, so county government is charged with that," he said. "They really should be the ones doing that." He said his group doesn't expect the county to act on the deed issue. Instead, he said, the Harney County Committee of Safety would have the job. The committee, formed shortly before the occupation, includes six Harney County residents. It's not affiliated with local government. Payne said the fate of the refuge headquarters would be decided by Harney County residents. "We've made ourselves stewards of this place," he said. The occupiers are restoring the buildings at the compound and at a nearby field station, he said. He described the station as in "horrible repair." etc. and the news story continues..

Why is the Swedish government training Muslim invaders, posing as ‘refugees,’ to be snipers?

By Shoebat Foundation on January 15, 2016 in General

By BI: SWEDEN is funding a sniper training course for recently-arrived Third World Muslim invaders as part of their “integration program”—despite the ever-growing Muslim migrant terrorist attacks and mass rapes across Europe. New Observer The almost unbelievable plunge into insanity—started two years ago—was reported in a positive pro-refugee light—by the Allehanda newspaper in Sweden, under the title “Fired up for Sniping,” (Laddade för prickskytte, literally “Charged up for Sniping”) and shows a large number of Third Worlders being taught how to target shoot with sniper rifles on a formal shooting ground in Sollefteå, central Sweden. The Allehanda informs its readers that the “sniping course” began on a “small scale in the Fall,” but then for reasons which are obvious, but which the Swedish newspaper ignores, “interest exploded” among the nonwhite invaders to take the course. When the Allehanda visited the shooting range, “more than 50 Muslim immigrant youths were on the course,” honing their shooting skills. Even more incredibly, the sniping course is being paid for by Sweden’s state-funded Migration Agency as an “integration” program into Swedish society. “Young people from all over the world—Syria, Afghanistan, Africa, [and] South America” are taking sniping lessons, the Allehanda said, and some of them are “interested and very talented,” the paper quoted course supervisor Birgit Höglin as saying. The program is offered as part of the language course at the local upper secondary school, Höglin said, saying that the benefits of the program are “much more” than just teaching the invaders how to use sniping rifles. “Here they talk Swedish in other social contexts, meet new people, and hang out. It is especially good for their vocabulary,” Höglin said. It seems of no concern to these leftists that every single terrorist attack on Europe in 2015 was carried out by “refugees.” State-funded sniper training for “young immigrants” seems so out of place that such an undertaking is firmly in the realm of the insane, and would, if not actually happening, be the subject of some bizarre joke. Unfortunately, it is not. Sweden is already the rape capital of the West. State-sponsored armed Muslim invaders will only cement this ranking…

Muslims In Iran Are Right Now Discussing How The Iranian Government Is Going To Destroy Saudi Arabia

By Walid Shoebat on January 15, 2016 in Featured, General

“The rift between Saudi Arabia and Iran has quickly ballooned into the worst conflict in decades between the two countries” says one news source adding “The back-and-forth escalation quickly turned the simmering tension into an overt struggle for power in the Middle East.” And while in the west is already seeing a cold-war brewing between the two, in Iran, the populace envision a literal scenario where the complete destruction of Saudi Arabia is at hand. The animated film, produced in Iran shows what is going viral in Iran: a sinister plan to completely wipe out Arabia: The Revenge of Fatimah Al-Zahra‘ (daughter of the Muhammad) begins with an anti-colonial speech by Khamenei with scenes from Riyadh towers being targeted in what they termed “the second Gulf War”. The narrator then says “Saudi Arabia’s Ghawar oil field is one of the most important oil fields in Saudi Arabia, and when struck by Iranian missiles, it will dry up all the economic resources that provide the core budget of the Kingdom.” This echoes Isaiah: “its land shall become burning pitch” (Isaiah 34:8-10). Iranian missiles appear in the film aiming at all of Saudi Arabia’s oil fields, oil installations and all sensitive sites destroyed by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard ballistic missiles. The screening of what Iran dubs “The Second Gulf War” will commence in Iranian schools and universities to prep all Iranian public opinion for the near future events in the Gulf. Fatimah Zahra (daughter of the Muhammad), her revenge for her son Al-Husayn (prophet Muhammad’s grand son) was ‘martyred’ for refusing to pledge allegiance to Yazid I, the Umayyad caliph because he considered the rule of the Umayyads unjust. He was beheaded in the Battle of Karbala in 680 (61 AH) by Arabia’s Shimr Ibn Thil-Jawshan, along with most of his family and companions. This made Karbala supersede Mecca to Shiites, just as Geneva to Protestants supersedes Rome where in the Shiite faith, like the Protestant towards Rome, the destruction of Mecca was made part of its theology: “when Mecca felt haughty and arrogant that Allah warns her, he will toss the Kaaba in hellfire and will utterly destroy her.” (1) And for that, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards have put Saudi Arabia first on it crosshair, even before Israel, among countries hostile to the Iranian revolution and the overthrow of the Saudi regime is now essential to the continuation of the Iranian expansion in the region. For the Revolutionary Guards if it wants to achieve its expansionist objectives, it must take out the Saudi regime, which has become a bulwark against Iran’s expansion in the Arab world and North Africa. The Iranians have filled the vacuums of power resulting from the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq. The dissolution of the Arab state system ushered in by the Arab Spring, causing the fragmentation in the Arab world was mostly exacerbated by Saudi Arabia’s spread of Wahhabism. This needed counterrevolutionary regional policies which provided greater opportunities for Iranian influence. As result of Saudi Arabia’s doing, it is now faced with a range of serious challenges, having to counter the very Salafi radicalism it created while riding the backs of Sunni Muslim nations infusing them with Wahhabism. Mecca is now dealing with serious issues of social instability, Shiite-Sunni divide within the kingdom itself, economic shortcomings, with its expenditure of billions from its foreign reserves to keep the oil at low cost. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps is now exploiting Saudi Arabia’s vulnerabilities by collaborating with Shiites within Saudi Arabia itself. Saudi Arabia, unlike Iran, is delicate. It could not weather the same level of pressure from the international community as Iran did, and the confrontation with Iran will soon open unprecedented vulnerabilities within Saudi Arabia itself threatening Saudi’s Arabia’s entire political structure. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared that Iran will inflict fierce reprisals against Saudi Arabia and after Saudi Arabia’s execution of al-Nimr, Khamenei declared “divine revenge” is on the way. They was they see the execution of Nimr is similar to the martyrdom of Zaha’s son. What Khamenei is really saying is that judgment of Mecca, for killing their saints, draweth nigh. (1) This, in accordance to one very popular Shiite belief which utterly terrifies and angers Saudi Arabia: Once the land of Ka’bah (Mecca) declared proudly, ‘Which land is like me? Allah has made His House on me. People from all parts of the earth come to pay homage to me. I have been made sacrosanct (haram) and sacred by Allah.’ On hearing this Allah, revealed, ‘Be silent! Wait a little (before you say anything further). By My Might and My Honour, the excellence and distinction I have granted to the land of Karbala is more than what I have given you. Compared to Karbala, your position is like a needle head sized drop in front of the sea. If the dust of Karbala had not been there, I would never have bestowed this honour upon you. If the one resting in Karbala (Imam Husain (a.s.)) had not been there, I would neither have created you nor the House over which you are so haughty. Wait, adopt humility and modesty and don’t be arrogant and boastful. Don’t try to prevail over Karbala in importance (as that is not possible). Else I will be displeased with you and throw you in Hell.’ (Kaamil al-Ziarat, p.267, tradition 13, narrating from Imam Ja’far al-Al-Sadiq also see here)

Claims of Russian arms transfers to Hezbollah worry Israel

Hezbollah feared to now pose a greater threat to Israel since Russia entered the Syrian fray; analysts say, however, that Hezbollah is bogged down in Syria and it's unlikely that Russia would directly transfer weapons to the terrorist organization.

Lebanon-based Hezbollah is growing stronger as a result of weapons’ shipments from the Russian military, two mid-level commanders in the organization have said. According to the story, first circulated in The Daily Beast, Russia is directly transferring artillery and anti-tank munitions to Hezbollah without any caveat as to what they are used for, despite Russia’s close relationship with Israel. etc. and the news story continues..

Gaza journalist says he was tortured in Hamas jail

Ayman al-Aloul, a rare voice in Gaza willing to criticize Hamas, spends nine days in jail and says he was beaten; now plans to focus on non-political topics.

Associated Press Published: 01.14.16, 16:18 / Israel News

Palestinian journalist Ayman al-Aloul frequently writes about the hardships of life in the Gaza Strip, and is one of the few voices willing to publicly criticize the rule of the Islamic Hamas movement. But after nine days in jail, al-Aloul says he won't be writing about politics anymore. He said a painful experience that included beatings and being forced to sit uncomfortably in a tiny chair has made him a "new man" and that he will now focus on less controversial topics like sports, food, literature and fashion. etc. and the news story continues..

Putin bypasses Israel, sets up joint war room for S. Syria with Jordan

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report January 14, 2016, 7:09 PM (IDT)

In a pivotal step reflecting the changeability of military and political deals in Israel’s neighborhood, Jordan has almost overnight agreed to establish a shared war room with Russia for the concerted conduct of their operations in Syria. This represents an extreme reversal of Amman’s policy. Until now, Jordan fought against Russia’s protégée Bashar Assad from a joint war room north of Amman called the US Central Command Forward-Jordan, as part of a lineup with the US, Saudi Arabia and Israel. But this week Jordan shifted onto a new plane. debkafile’s military and intelligence sources say Jordanian King Abdullah’s decision to team up with Moscow starts a whole new ball game rolling on policy-making and intelligence-sharing. He doesn’t plan to shut down his shared command center with the US and Israel, but the center of gravity of Jordan’s military and intelligence efforts will be redirected to the new center with Russia, representing a major earthquake in those areas. Amman is working hard to downplay the new partnership, presenting it as designed to foster better coordination between the American and Russian military efforts in Syria and the war on the Islamic State. That picture is misleading. With all due respect to the Jordanian monarch, his military and his intelligence services, they are not exactly qualified for the role of coordinator between the two world powers. The US and Russian presidents handle this in person. And in fact, the new Russian-Jordanian war room did come up, according to our Washington and Moscow sources, in the latest telephone conversation between the two presidents on Jan. 13. Obama then held a quick meeting with King Abdullah at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland and asked for an explanation. For the various rebel militias holding out in large parts of southern Syria, including the Israeli border regions, the new Jordanian-Russian war room is bad news. Hitherto, Jordan provided the rebels with their main pipeline for fighters, weapons and funds from the US, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The US even ran training camps in Jordan for Syrian rebel fighters. This pipeline is now likely to be shut down or reduced to a minimum. The Jordanians gloss over their shift, claiming it is designed to force the Syrian rebels of the South to accept a ceasefire and join peace talks with the US and Russia on Syria’s future. That is no more than diplomatic-speak for the real purpose, which is to compel them to give up the fight against Assad, and make way for Moscow to achieve its key objective, which is to restore the Assad regime’s control over the South. Ever since his major intervention in Syria, Putin has tried to persuade Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to pull the rug from under the Israeli-backed rebels in the South. They are deemed as a necessary buffer for securing Israel's northern border and blocking the reimposition of Assad's authority there.. The content of the exchanges between Putin and Netanyahu has only been shared with tight circles of confidants in Jerusalem and the Kremlin, so little is reliably known about their areas of agreement and dispute. There is no doubt that the prime minister spoke firmly about Israel’s abiding concern that, once Assad regained control of the South, he would open the door up to the Israeli border and let in his allies and Israel’s arch enemies, Hizballah and the mostly-Iraqi Shiite militias fighting under the command of officers from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps. By teaming up with Jordan for a joint war room to cover operations in southern Syria, Putin has gone around Netanyahu’s back and acquired a helper for evicting Syrian rebels from southern Syria.

Oregon standoff: Occupiers remove cameras, clash with conservationists

BURNS – Tensions mounted Saturday at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, where men involved in an armed standoff clashed with conservationists and accused government workers of harassing their families. As the standoff led by Arizona businessman Ammon Bundy entered its third week at the refuge headquarters, accusations swirled that Child Protective Services workers had begun visiting some of the occupiers' families. Meanwhile, a visit to the refuge from land conservationists devolved into a shouting match, complete with a bullhorn and name-calling, after the group tried to address news reporters. The spectacle erupted just after occupiers arrived for a morning news briefing with a wicker basket full of surveillance cameras they removed Friday from a transformer station outside Burns. LaVoy Finicum, a spokeman for the occupiers, claimed the cameras had been installed by the FBI. "This in my opinion is unreasonable search," said Finicum, referencing the Fourth Amendment as he invited the agency to "come pick them up." Ammon Bundy and his armed anti-government followers took over the refuge Jan. 2, two days before father and son ranchers from Harney County were to report to federal prison for setting fires on federal land. The occupiers want Dwight and Steve Hammond released and to see the federally owned land returned to local ranchers and loggers. etc. and the news story continues..

Jerusalem church vandalized with crude anti-Christian slogans

The capital's Dormition Abbey compound of the Orthodox Church of Jerusalem, located near Zion Gate outside the Old City, was vandalized early Sunday morning by alleged Jewish extremists for the second time in nearly one year. The Benedictine monastery, on Mount Zion, is near a site where many Christians believe Jesus held the Last Supper, as well as a tomb revered as the resting place of the biblical King David, which draws many Jewish worshipers. The words “Christians to Hell,” “Death to the heathen Christians the enemies of Israel,” and “May his name be obliterated,” accompanied by a Star of David, were crudely scrawled in red ink on a wall in the compound. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said a forensics team was sent to analyze the writing, and an investigation into the hate crime has been opened, although no arrests have been made. etc. and the news story continues..

At least 300 killed in Islamic State 'massacre' in Syrian city, state media says

Published January 17, 2016 FoxNews.com Facebook Twitter livefyre Email

Islamic State militants killed 300 people in an “appalling massacre” in eastern Syria, the government said on Sunday. The state-run SANA news agency said that most of those killed in day-long attacks on Deir el-Zour Saturday were elderly people, women and children. The killings are some of the worst carried out by the extremist group, which controls a large portion of Syria and Iraq. The Syrian Observatory of Human Rights, a British-based group which monitors the violence on all sides of the Syrian conflict, confirmed the killings. Activists for the group said at least 135 were killed in the assault, at least 80 of them were soldiers and pro-government militiamen and the rest were civilians. The group said that most of them were either shot dead or beheaded. The Lebanon-based Al-Mayadeen TV said ISIS took at least 400 civilians hostage. A Syrian source told Reuters the terror group “committed a massacre among the civilians.” He said the pro-government army killed a large number of militants. etc. and the news story continues..

Israel Navy closely watching Hamas force build up, preparing for underwater threats from Gaza

The Israel Navy is keeping a close eye on Hamas in Gaza as the terrorist organization busily rebuilds its offensive capabilities, which now appear to include a potential to wage underwater combat. If fighting breaks out with Hamas, the IDF assesses that the Islamist organization would likely seek to surprise Israel from multiple directions, including from the sea. The IDF feels it must prepare, accordingly, for a wide range of possible seaborne assaults, including bomb-laden boat attacks. etc. and the news story continues..

Franklin Graham: Removing 'In God We Trust' from U.S. dollar will put America at great risk

Czarina Ong 17 January 2016

The United States of America is known as a Christian nation, but over the years, that idea has been threatened and questioned. Now, an atheist group is even trying to remove "In God We Trust" from the American dollar. Sacramento attorney Michael Newdow filed the lawsuit to have the line removed on Monday in Akron, Ohio, claiming that it violates the separation of church and state. He added that he is "substantially burdened because he is forced to bear on his person a religious statement that causes him to sense his government legitimising, promoting and reinforcing negative and injurious attitudes not only against atheists in general, but against him personally." Reverend Franklin Graham thinks that Newdow's lawsuit was "not a smart move" because taking God out of the equation would put America at great risk. "I wonder if these people realise just what can and will happen to a nation — and a people — who want nothing to do with Almighty God or His hand of protection?" he writes on his Facebook page. The evangelist said former President Dwight D. Eisenhower must have known, since it was during his leadership that the words were first added to U.S. coins. On July 30, 1956, Eisenhower signed a law officially declaring "In God We Trust" to be America's official motto. etc. and the news story continues..

Hamas, ISIS terrorists arrested for attempted Netanyahu slaying were backed by Iran

By L. Todd Wood - - Saturday, January 9, 2016

As the Obama administration pushes full-tilt to complete the nuclear ‘deal’ with Iran that will allow the Islamic Republic to acquire nuclear weapons a few years down the road, Israel has found out what Iran will do with the billions it stands to receive under the internationally negotiated agreement. Multiple Hamas terrorists, along with one that supported ISIS, were indicted in Israel this week for attempting to assassinate Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by placing an explosion under a stage where he was scheduled to speak in Tel Aviv. Iran supports Hamas in the Gaza strip and analysts believe is supporting ISIS in the Sinai against the Egyptian government as well. Hamas has been sheltering ISIS leaders in Gaza from Egyptian security forces. The terrorists also had plans to use suicide bombings to kill innocent Israelis. etc. and the news story continues..

EXCLUSIVE – Hamas Paying Off Islamic State to Smuggle Weapons into Gaza

by Aaron Klein and Ali Waked15 Jan 201657

TEL AVIV – Hamas has warned Israel against provoking another violent conflict, saying the movement is ready to fight. Top Hamas official Ismail Haniyeh declared earlier this week that the movement’s military wing will “stun the whole world with its power of resistance.” “We’re building our strength above and below the ground, beyond the enemy lines, in the air, sea, and land, and not just to defend Gaza because, despite the siege, the Strip is liberated,” Haniyeh said during a ceremony marking 20 years since the elimination of the movement’s explosives expert, “the engineer” Yahye Ayash, by Israel. “We’re doing it for the sake of the whole of Palestine. Al Qassam Brigades, who stunned the entire world in the last war, will do it again whenever they face the enemy.” Although Hamas regularly threatens Israel, several sources in the movement told Breitbart Jerusalem that Haniyeh’s speech reflects the group’s increased confidence following successful tests of new missiles and rockets that have recently been smuggled into the Strip or developed in the Hamas-controlled territory. etc. and the news story continues..

Analysis: Attacks by ISIS-linked group on Gaza border place lengthy quiet at risk

As in recent rocket attacks from Gaza, Wednesday’s attempt by a terrorist cell to plant explosives on the Israeli border was likely the work of a small ISIS-affiliated jihadist group in the Gaza Strip. Hamas’s strategy continues to be to keep its home turf of Gaza out of the line of fire, while rebuilding its rocket arsenal, tunnel networks and battalions of fighters, and avoiding Israel’s painful strikes. Hamas is trying its best to activate terrorist cells away from the Strip, in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, efforts that have so far been unsuccessful due to the Shin Bet intelligence agency, which works around the clock to preempt mass casualty incidents. etc. and the news story continues..

Venezuela declares ‘economic emergency’ amid currency woes

Latest update : 2016-01-16

Venezuela’s socialist government decreed an “economic emergency” on Friday that will expand its powers and published the first data in a year that shows the depth of a recession fueled by low oil prices and a sputtering state-led model. The central bank, which has been lambasted by critics of President Nicolas Maduro’s government for hiding statistics since the end of 2014, said the South American OPEC nation’s economy shrank 4.5 percent in the first nine months last year. Inflation soared in that period to an annual rate of 141.5 percent, the world’s worst. Venezuela’s oil-dependent economy is forecast to perform abysmally again in 2016. Maduro lost control of the National Assembly in a December election due to voter ire over the crisis. The government’s decree, which the opposition-led assembly says it has the power to approve or reject, sets a 60-day “economic emergency” and would give Maduro wider powers to intervene in companies or limit access to currency. etc. and the news story continues..

French president declares economic emergency

6 Hours Ago

PARIS (AP) — French President Francois Hollande pledged Monday to redefine France's business model and declared what he called "a state of economic and social emergency," unveiling a 2-billion-euro ($2.2 billion) plan to revive hiring and catch up with a fast-moving world economy. The measures he proposed, however, are relatively modest, and he said they would not "put into question" the 35-hour workweek. With his country under a state of emergency since extremist attacks in November, Hollande did not seek to assume any new emergency powers over the economy. In an annual speech to business leaders, Hollande laid out plans for training half a million jobless workers, greater use of apprenticeships, and aid for companies that hire young workers. etc. and the news story continues..

The Fed's Stunning Admission Of What Happens Next

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/17/2016 21:31 -0500

Following an epic stock rout to start the year, one which has wiped out trillions in market capitalization, it has rapidly become a consensus view (even by staunch Fed supporters such as the Nikkei Times) that the Fed committed a gross policy mistake by hiking rates on December 16, so much so that this week none other than former Fed president Kocherlakota openly mocked the Fed's credibility when he pointed out the near record plunge in forward breakevens suggesting the market has called the Fed's bluff on rising inflation. All of this happened before JPM cut its Q4 GDP estimate from 1.0% to 0.1% in the quarter in which Yellen hiked. To be sure, the dramatic reaction and outcome following the Fed's "error" rate hike was predicted on this website on many occasions, most recently two weeks prior to the rate hike in "This Is What Happened The Last Time The Fed Hiked While The U.S. Was In Recession" when we demonstrated what would happen once the Fed unleashed the "Ghost of 1937." As we pointed out in early December, conveniently we have a great historical primer of what happened the last time the Fed hiked at a time when it misread the US economy, which was also at or below stall speed, and the Fed incorrectly assumed it was growing. We are talking of course, about the infamous RRR-hike of 1936-1937, which took place smack in the middle of the Great Recession. etc. and the news story continues..

Germany Wants to Impose Tax to Pay for Refugees on All of Europe

Posted on January 18, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble has called for a new EU-wide tax on petrol to pay for the refugee crisis that Germany has created. This is a EU-WIDE Continental Tax, not one limited to Germany. So now all Europeans must pay for a gross mistake Merkel made inviting the refugees into Europe. The people are always seen as an endless source to tax for the nightmares created by politicians. Just when will the people ever have a right to just say NO!

Warning~The Mark Of The Beast Will Be Mandatory By 2017

Posted on January 17, 2016 Written by Amy S

New upload 2015. Is the RFID chip the Mark of the beast? What is the connection to the number 666? Will the RFID Microchip Implant be mandatory by 2017? NBC has recently predicted that in 2017, all of America will be tagged with microchips. They will be implanted to help identify individuals immediately. According to the report, the technology is used to answer one question, “Am I who I say I am?” Some worry, however, that the RFID Microchip will give the government too much power, allowing them to track every move. In some states, like Virginia, legislation is in process to stop this from happening. The report also reveals an RFID Brain Chip that has been developed and is currently being tested on several humans. It was reported that the use of Micro-Chips in Bill H.R. 4872 was located on Page 1014 under “National Medical Device Registry” it tells about a “Class II Device That is Implantable” and yes, they passed the bill. Read Page “1014″ In The H.R. 4872 Read Class II Special Controls Guidance For FDA Staff. With the RFID Microchip they can track the movement of the people that are implanted. They can also control the money and food of the people. It is also reported to be possible to even kill the people that don’t obey. The HR 3962 Bill is an exact copy of the HR 3200 bill in with the exception of just a few words removed concerning the RFID Microchip but the ability to Chip Every Citizen of the United States is still in the bill. Open Bill and Read Pages 1501 through 1510 Read Class II Special Controls Guidance For FDA Staff Read And Do The Research For Yourself. The Conspiracy Of The New World Order World War 3 The Secret Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the wireless use of electromagnetic fields to transfer data, for the purposes of automatically identifying and tracking tags attached to objects. The tags contain electronically stored information. Some tags are powered by electromagnetic induction from magnetic fields produced near the reader. Some types collect energy from the interrogating radio waves and act as a passive transponder. Other types have a local power source such as a battery and may operate at hundreds of meters from the reader. Unlike a barcode, the tag does not necessarily need to be within line of sight of the reader and may be embedded in the tracked object. RFID is one method for Automatic Identification and Data Capture. RFID tags are used in many industries. For example, an RFID tag attached to an automobile during production can be used to track its progress through the assembly line; RFID-tagged pharmaceuticals can be tracked through warehouses; and implanting RFID microchips in livestock and pets allows positive identification of animals. Since RFID tags can be attached to cash, clothing, and possessions, or implanted in animals and people, the possibility of reading personally-linked information without consent has raised serious privacy concerns. These concerns resulted in standard specifications development addressing privacy and security issues. ISO/IEC 18000 and ISO/IEC 29167 use on-chip cryptography methods for untraceability, tag and reader authentication, and over-the-air privacy. ISO/IEC 20248 specifies a digital signature data structure for RFID and barcodes providing data, source and read method authenticity. This work is done within ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31 Automatic identification and data capture techniques. etc. and the news story continues..

'China to spark global financial ICE AGE with depression sending markets crashing by 75%'

CHINA is set to plunge the world into an economic crisis sending stock markets crashing by 75 per cent - with devastating consequences for the US and UK, a leading city expert has warned.

By Lana Clements PUBLISHED: 06:56, Fri, Jan 15, 2016 | UPDATED: 07:46, Fri, Jan 15, 2016

The sinking value of the Chinese currency is already crippling British industry as it can’t compete with China’s cheap exports. Other Western nations are also feeling the strain. And with even more to come experts have predicted an 'ice age' for the world’s economies – including Britain’s. Global deflation is going to wipe around 75 per cent in value off the American S&P stock market, as western firms will be unable to compete with cheap Chinese exports, according to analyst Albert Edwards from french bank Societe Generale. He gave the stark warning in an investment note to clients. And he blamed the upcoming 'carnage' on American central bank (the Fed) and its British and European counterparts for inflating prices in the first place. American Quantitative Easing (QE) - injecting extra money into the financial system - has pushed up global asset prices, teeing up a disastrous fall, Mr Edward believes. He said: "Investors are coming to terms with what a Chinese renminbi devaluation means for Western markets. "It means global deflation and recession. "A commodity bubble and the resultant US shale investment boom were all consequences of the Fed’s QE. "The illusion of prosperity is shattered as boom now turns to bust. "But I do hope this time around the Queen won’t ask, as she did in November 2008, why nobody saw this coming!" Pumping extra money into the economy was reaction to the 2008 crisis that was also followed by the Bank of England and European Central Bank - essentially creating millions of pounds of extra money to buy bonds and other financial assets, pushing up prices. Mr Edwards said: "I believe the Fed and its promiscuous fraternity of central banks have created the conditions for another debacle every bit as large as the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. "I believe the events we now see unfolding will drive us back into global recession." In reference to the central banks, he said: "Why can't these incompetents understand that they are, once again, the midwife to yet another global unfolding economic crisis? "But unlike 2007, this time around the US and Europe sit on the precipice of outright deflation. "Indeed, it is all around us. But don’t expect the central bankers to comprehend the hole they now find themselves in." The analyst said the western service sectors won't be able to withstand the pressure from Chinese deflation. He said: "When an economy is hurtling towards recession it is almost always the manufacturing sector that takes the less volatile services sector by the hand and leads it into a recessionary underworld." The situation is bound to be a catastrophe for people and the economy, according to Mr Edwards. The banker is an outspoken pessimist on the global economy, but his fears have been echoed by other leading figures. Legendary investor George Soros has also said the Chinese crisis is set to plunge the world into another economic depression. And this week RBS urged clients to 'sell everything' as commodity and share prices are set to plunge. etc. and the news story continues..

Exclusive: Dallas Fed Quietly Suspends Energy Mark-To-Market On Default Contagion Fears

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/17/2016 11:21 -0500

Earlier this week, before first JPM and then Wells Fargo revealed that not all is well when it comes to bank energy loan exposure, a small Tulsa-based lender, BOK Financial, said that its fourth-quarter earnings would miss analysts’ expectations because its loan-loss provisions would be higher than expected as a result of a single unidentified energy-industry borrower. This is what the bank said: “A single borrower reported steeper than expected production declines and higher lease operating expenses, leading to an impairment on the loan. In addition, as we noted at the start of the commodities downturn in late 2014, we expected credit migration in the energy portfolio throughout the cycle and an increased risk of loss if commodity prices did not recover to a normalized level within one year. As we are now into the second year of the downturn, during the fourth quarter we continued to see credit grade migration and increased impairment in our energy portfolio. The combination of factors necessitated a higher level of provision expense." Another bank, this time the far larger Regions Financial, said its fourth-quarter charge-offs jumped $18 million from the prior quarter to $78 million, largely because of problems with a single unspecified energy borrower. More than one-quarter of Regions’ energy loans were classified as “criticized” at the end of the fourth quarter. It didn't stop there and and as the WSJ added, "It’s starting to spread" according to William Demchak, chief executive of PNC Financial Services Group Inc. on a conference call after the bank’s earnings were announced. Credit issues from low energy prices are affecting "anybody who was in the game as the oil boom started,” he said. PNC said charge-offs rose in the fourth quarter from the prior quarter but didn’t specify whether that was due to issues in its relatively small $2.6 billion oil-and-gas portfolio. Then, on Friday, U.S. Bancorp disclosed the specific level of reserves it holds against its $3.2 billion energy portfolio for the first time. "The reason we did that is that oil is under $30" said Andrew Cecere, the bank’s chief operating officer. What else will Bancorp disclose if oil drops below $20... or $10? It wasn't just the small or regional banks either: as we first reported, on Thursday JPMorgan did something it hasn't done in 22 quarter: its net loan loss reserve increased as a result of a jump in energy loss reserves. On the earnings call, Jamie Dimon said that while he is not worried about big oil companies, his bank has started to increase provisions against smaller energy firms. Then yesterday it was the turn of the one bank everyone had been waiting for, the one which according to many has the greatest exposure toward energy: Wells Fargo. To be sure, in order not to spook its investors, among whom most famously one Warren Buffett can be found, for Wells it was mostly "roses", although even Wells had no choice but to set aside $831 million for bad loans in the period, almost double the amount a year ago and the largest since the first quarter of 2013. What was laughable is that the losses included $118 million from the bank’s oil and gas portfolio, an increase of $90 million from the third quarter. Why laughable? Because that $90 million in higher oil-and-gas loan losses was on a total of $17 billion in oil and gas loans, suggesting the bank has seen a roughly 0.5% impairment across its loan book in the past quarter. How could this be? Needless to say, this struck us as very suspicious because it clearly suggests that something is going on for Wells (and all of its other peer banks), to rep and warrant a pristine balance sheet, at least until a "digital" moment arrives when just like BOK Financial, banks can no longer hide the accruing losses and has to charge them off, leading to a stock price collapse. Which brings us to the focus of this post: earlier this week, before the start of bank earnings season, before BOK's startling announcement, we reported we had heard of a rumor that Dallas Fed members had met with banks in Houston and explicitly "told them not to force energy bankruptcies" and to demand asset sales instead. We can now make it official, because moments ago we got confirmation from a second source who reports that according to an energy analyst who had recently met Houston funds to give his 1H16e update, one of his clients indicated that his firm was invited to a lunch attended by the Dallas Fed, which had previously instructed lenders to open up their entire loan books for Fed oversight; the Fed was shocked by with it had found in the non-public facing records. The lunch was also confirmed by employees at a reputable Swiss investment bank operating in Houston. This is what took place: the Dallas Fed met with the banks a week ago and effectively suspended mark-to-market on energy debts and as a result no impairments are being written down. Furthermore, as we reported earlier this week, the Fed indicated "under the table" that banks were to work with the energy companies on delivering without a markdown on worry that a backstop, or bail-in, was needed after reviewing loan losses which would exceed the current tier 1 capital tranches. In other words, the Fed has advised banks to cover up major energy-related losses. Why the reason for such unprecedented measures by the Dallas Fed? Our source notes that having run the numbers, it looks like at least 18% of some banks commercial loan book are impaired, and that’s based on just applying the 3Q marks for public debt to their syndicate sums. In other words, the ridiculously low increase in loss provisions by the likes of Wells and JPM suggest two things: i) the real losses are vastly higher, and ii) it is the Fed's involvement that is pressuring banks to not disclose the true state of their energy "books." Naturally, once this becomes public, the Fed risks a stampeded out of energy exposure because for the Fed to intervene in such a dramatic fashion it suggests that the US energy industry is on the verge of a subprime-like blow up. Putting this all together, a source who wishes to remain anonymous, adds that equity has been levitating only because energy funds are confident the syndicates will remain in size to meet net working capital deficits. Which is a big gamble considering that as we first showed ten days ago, over the past several weeks banks have already quietly reduced their credit facility exposure to at least 25 deeply distressed (and soon to be even deeper distressed) names. However, the big wildcard here is the Fed: what we do not know is whether as part of the Fed's latest "intervention", it has also promised to backstop bank loan losses. Keep in mind that according to Wolfe Research and many other prominent investors, as many as one-third of American oil-and-gas producers face bankruptcy and restructuring by mid-2017 unless oil rebounds dramatically from current levels. However, the reflexivity paradox embedded in this problem was laid out yesterday by Goldman who explained that oil could well soar from here but only if massive excess supply is first taken out of the market, aka the "inflection phase." In other words, for oil prices to surge, there would have to be a default wave across the US shale space, which would mean massive energy loan book losses, which may or may not mean another Fed-funded bailout of US and international banks with exposure to shale. What does it all mean? Here is the conclusion courtesy of our source: If revolvers are not being marked anymore, then it's basically early days of subprime when mbs payback schedules started to fall behind. My question for bank eps is if you issued terms in 2013 (2012 reserves) at 110/bbl, and redetermined that revolver in 2014 ‎at 86, how can you be still in compliance with that same rating and estimate in 2016 (knowing 2015 ffo and shutins have led to mechanically 40pc ffo decreases year over year and at least 20pc rebooting of pud and pdnp to 2p via suspended or cancelled programs). At what point in next 12 months does interest payments to that syndicate start to unmask the fact that tranch is never being recovered, which I think is what pva and mhr was all about. Beyond just the immediate cash flow and stock price implications and fears that the situation with US energy is much more serious if it merits such an intimate involvement by the Fed, a far bigger question is why is the Fed once again in the a la carte bank bailout game, and how does it once again select which banks should mark their energy books to market (and suffer major losses), and which ones are allowed to squeeze by with fabricated marks and no impairment at all? Wasn't the purpose behind Yellen's rate hike to burst a bubble? Or is the Fed less than "macroprudential" when it realizes that pulling away the curtain on of the biggest bubbles it has created would result in another major financial crisis? The Dallas Fed, whose new president Robert Steven Kaplan previously worked at Goldman Sachs for 22 years rising to the rank of vice chairman of investment banking, has not responded to our request for a comment as of this writing. etc. and the news story continues..

Foreign Central Banks Furiously Dump US Treasuries: Record $47 Billion Sold In First Two Weeks Of 2016

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/17/2016 18:58 -0500

It's not just stocks have a terrible start to the year, in fact the worst start in history: so is the amount of US Treasuries held in custody at the Fed, a direct proxy for the holdings of foreign central banks, reserve managers and sovereign wealth funds who park owned TSYs at the NY Fed for convenience. According to the latest Fed data, after a drop of $12 billion in the first week of the year, another $34.5 billion in Treasuries held in custody was sold in the week ended January 13, bringing the total to just $2.962 trillion, below the previous recent low recorded in early November, and at levels not seen since April 2015. Indicatively since April, total US Treasury holdings have increased by $570 billion, meanwhile not a single incremental dollar has ended up in the Fed's custody account. etc. and the news story continues..

IMF slashes global growth forecast after China posts its worst economic growth figures for 25 YEARS - fuelling fears we are on the verge of another financial meltdown

The country's GDP sits at 6.9 per cent, after years spent in the double digits

Its slowdown has caused shockwaves across European and Asian markets

The IMF has now cut its growth forecasts for the third time in a year

China's production has been major driver of the international economy

But it is trying to shift its economy's emphasis from exports to services

By Corey Charlton for MailOnline Published: 05:21 EST, 19 January 2016 | Updated: 08:36 EST, 19 January 2016

The International Monetary Fund has slashed its global growth forecasts for the third time in less than a year amid growing concerns of an impending financial meltdown. Forecasting the world economy will grow at 3.4 percent this year and 3.6 percent in 2017, the IMF put both years down 0.2 percentage points from previous estimates. It comes as it emerged today China's economic growth has dropped to its slowest rate in 25 years, scaring investors and prompting fears it could precede yet another financial crisis. etc. and the news story continues..

Oklahoma Earthquakes Shake Up Scientists, Rattle Politician

Earthquakes have shoved California out of first-place as the most seismically active state in the union. In fact, Oklahoma has become more seismically active than all lower forty-eight states combined. It is now one of the most active regions in the world, and the danger, according to the USGS, is greater than you think. Oklahoma earthquakes break new ground “I have never seen anything like it anywhere in the world,” said a USGS scientist about Oklahoma’s earthquakes, which have increased in number and intensity at an exponential rate: According to Daniel McNamara, a research geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey, the state has already seen five earthquakes of a 4.0 or greater in 2016, which is double the monthly rate for 2015…. [in less than two weeks] “I don’t know what to say frankly. It’s incredible. I’ve never seen anything like it anywhere in the world. The only time you get this kind of activity might be after a very large earthquake, like a seven or eight (magnitude) in a place like Nepal or China or Indonesia or in volcanic regions.” Geologically tired Oklahoma, however, is not one of those regions. It’s foundation is some of the oldest solid rock on earth; but it’s coming alive now. The state was shaken on January 6, 2016, by two of the largest quakes it has experienced, a 4.7 and 4.8. It is not the present size that is of concern, though, but the awakening … and the fact that the size of the Oklahoma earthquakes keeps growing. The area has had nineteen earthquakes over 3.0 on the Richter scale in the week following that last shake up. Counting all smaller quakes, the state has had seventy quakes in one week. Yet, all of that is just a tiny part of the escalating ground tremors over the past decade. While those are all fairly small earthquakes compared to west-coast quakes, they are uncommonly large as far as Oklahoma earthquakes go. The 4.8 was the fourth-largest in state history. That and a few other factors lead some scientists to now wonder if “the big one” is about to burst beneath Oklahoma: When Americans speak of “the big one,” they’re talking about the potential for a super-massive earthquake that could essentially destroy most of quake-prone California. Now some scientists believe something similar could happen in the once geologically placid Oklahoma. (OilPrice.com) These small earthquakes have crumbled brick facades, toppled columns and chimneys and caused an electrical blackout; but their damage is growing each year and so is concern — politically, legally and financially. “I do think there’s a really strong chance that Oklahoma will receive some strong shaking,” said Daniel McNamara … who has studied Oklahoma’s earthquake history. “I’m surprised [Wednesday night’s quakes] didn’t rupture into a larger event.” The frequency of Oklahoma earthquakes has been rising for nearly a decade and tracks almost exactly with the expansion of the fracking industry — both in the timing of that industry’s work and the locations. They’ve also been building in other midwestern states, but the growth is only where fracking is happening. Originally, the Oklahoma earthquakes were more along the lines of 2.0 or 3.0, so the increase in the number of temblors that are well above 4.0 is becoming politically activating. Before 2008, Oklahoma experienced fewer than two earthquakes each year. Now there are more than that many each day! Each year since 2008, the number of quakes increased exponentially to where Oklahoma had 842 earthquakes you could feel in 2015 (5,000 that could be detected with a seismograph). Compared to Oklahoma’s norm, the state experienced a millennium’s worth of earthquakes in one year, raising the Sooner State to become one of the most seismically active regions on the earth, and if that increase continues at the same annual rate, 2016 could see more than 2,000 earthquakes you can feel. How shaken should you become over Oklahoma’s earthquakes? All of this is of man’s own making, as will be laid out below. The USGS has stated in a report that waste water injected back into oil wells after fracking is loosening slippery rocks. (Some wells receive as much as 9,000,000,000 gallons of waste water with the median being 671,000 gallons.) This is the first time a government agency has acknowledged human-induced earthquakes along moving fault lines. Perhaps this explains the mystery booms reported many times around Oklahoma when no explosion is known to have happened above ground. Water pumped that deep into the ground may turn to steam. As such vast quantities of water expand, they may create huge pressure that bursts through the stone underground, causing a boom. That’s one theory for the booms that many have suggested. If so, fracking water is doing a lot more than lubricating faults, it’s jarring them and, in some cases, maybe even exploding inside of them The new concern at the USGS and in the state capital is whether humans are going to trigger a much larger catastrophe upon themselves. Some US scientists see a contagion risk that these smaller Oklahoma earthquakes may be causing structural changes inside the earth that create potential for a massive earthquake: Jeremy Boak, the director of the Oklahoma Geological Survey, told the Tulsa World that the earthquakes we have been experiencing increase the likelihood that a bigger, more powerful earthquake is on the horizon. “There’s no doubt in terms of induced seismicity, we’re the epicenter of it now…. As we keep adding more earthquakes, there is steadily more and more risk of having a single earthquake at that higher end.” “It’s unclear exactly how high we might go, and the predictions are upper 5-6 range for most things that I’ve seen,” Todd Halihan, a researcher from OSU, told News Channel 4 last year. “Underneath any of these urban areas, whether it’s Stillwater, Cushing, Oklahoma City, Guthrie, these cities are not built to seismic standards. They’re not in L.A.” McNamara told the newspaper in November. “We have as many as 13 different fault zones in Oklahoma with magnitude 4s occurring on them this year alone…. Any one of these looks like it could produce a 5 or 6-magnitude earthquake, so we’re very concerned….” (KFOR Television) But the risk doesn’t stop at a magnitude six. That’s the conservative estimate. Elsewhere, McNamara said that it’s possible this very old fault system, which hasn’t been inactive for some time, could produce even larger quakes than that, but that he was keeping his projections to the worst earthquake known in recent history on that main fault line. Recent history, however, has not known fracking all along that fault line. But there’s more: According to one source, some seismologists have speculated there could be a connection between this area and the infamous New Madrid Seismic Zone, the colossus of the United States: The quakes have been attributed, but not confirmed, to the New Madrid fault line, which has become more volatile in recent years. The New Madrid fault zone covers portions of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi. The zone is 6 times bigger than the San Andreas fault in California. (Christian Post) I couldn’t find any scientists who actually made that attribution. Whether connected or not, however, the hazard from the Oklahoma earthquakes is considered equal to the hazard of the New Madrid faults by the USGS: The U.S. Geological Survey said today that it’s planning to significantly upgrade its forecasts of seismic hazards in places such as Oklahoma…. Mark Petersen, a seismologist … said the ground-shaking forecasts were comparable to parts of California and the New Madrid seismic zone. The New Madrid fault, which runs from southern Illinois through Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky and Tennessee, produced a magnitude 7 earthquake in 1811. (Reveal) And what would a New-Madrid-fault-sized earthquake look like? On Dec. 16, 1811, a magnitude 7.7 earthquake hit the New Madrid fault line, which lies on the border region of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi. It’s by far the largest earthquake ever to strike the United States east of the Rockies. Up to 129,000 square kilometers [50,000 square miles] were hit with “raised or sunken lands, fissures, sinks, sand blows, and large landslides,” according to the U.S. Geological Service. “Huge waves on the Mississippi River overwhelmed many boats and washed others high onto the shore. High banks caved and collapsed into the river; sand bars and points of islands gave way; whole islands disappeared.” People as far away as New York City were awakened by the shaking. (Wired) Let’s play roulette with something like that! See if we can ring the church bells in Boston like the last big New-Madrid earthquake did. That earthquake was also described as causing the prairies to roll like the ocean while shooting up geysers of sand and yellow, toxic gas. It even caused the Mississippi River to run backwards for several hours, and caused settlers and Indians alike to believe the end of the world had come. An alternative thought is what happens if the New Madrid Seismic Zone, which badly shook Oklahoma during its last major earthquake, should rupture again while so many faults in Oklahoma are already giving way on their own due to man-made lubrication and pressure? Would such a shaker crack them all loose at once like putting one lit stick of dynamite inside a box of dynamite? Let’s prime the whole system in the midwest with fracking wells, and see if we can loosen it up enough for everything to go at once! From that lovely little thought, consider that eight states spread across the midwest are dealing with a huge increase in earthquakes caused by the injection of waste water left over from fracking operations, though Oklahoma tops them all. Consider that the New Madrid Seismic Zone, when one of its faults breaks lose, is known to shake the entire midwest. Does the presence of hundreds, if not thousands of lubricated and ready-to-go faults within the shaking area compound the risk by creating a possible cascade of events ready to go? etc. and the news story continues click on the link below

NATO Is Sending Romanian Cyber Warfare Specialists to Ukraine

Romania is to send IT specialists to Kiev on behalf of the US and NATO. They should enhance the Cyber ​​Protection of Ukraine and carry out trainings. The mission is directed against Russia, as NATO accuses the country of cyber-attacks against Ukraine. Amid the turmoil in Ukraine, Romania has emerged as an unlikely cyber security ally for the international community. The country that initially gained attention for its hacking prowess is now a leader in cyber policing and cyber defense, The Associated Press reported. NATO has tasked the Eastern European country with bolstering Ukraine’s digital walls as Russia increasingly uses its first-tier hacking talent to advance its U.S.-opposed agenda in the country. The Commerce Department this week is also leading a trade mission of 20 U.S. cyber firms to the country in an effort to strengthen private sector ties. Romania oversees the Ukraine Cyber Defense Trust Fund, a program funded by NATO member countries to help strengthen embattled Ukrainian defenses. etc. and the news story continues..

Video: Journalists viciously attacked by refugees at Calais Migrant Camp, leftists call for evidence to be censored

Pro immigration “activists” warn journalists to remove video evidence

By Alex Thomas | Email Author Follow on Facebook | Follow on Twitter

(INTELLIHUB) — In a scene becoming all too familiar across parts of Europe, “peaceful” refugees pounced on two Dutch film makers after they entered the infamous Calais Jungle migrant camp. According to the video’s description, photographer Teun Voeten and video artist Maaike Engels were mugged by three refugees armed with knives and pepper spray. The attackers were apparently unsuccessful in their robbery attempt after being chased off by other refugees at the camp. Astonishingly, after the victims posted the video on Facebook, members of the Calais Migrant Solidarity group totally ignored the very real danger the film makers were in and instead decided to chastise them for even putting the evidence online! As Breitbart reporters noted, “Two Dutch film makers have been attacked in the infamous Calais Jungle camp by migrants wielding pepper spray and a knife. Members of the Calais Migrant Solidarity group have urged them to remove the clip from the Internet, stating menacingly: “You are not doing yourself a favour by putting it online as I think this is not what you came for to Calais…” “In the wrong hands this footage could be used irresponsibly,” another member of the radical leftist group warned. This incident, from the original attack all the way to the sickening response by pro mass immigration activists, highlights the literal mental illness plaguing many on the hard left. These are people who regularly express faux worry over horrible “right wingers” while literally ignoring the very real dangers posed by allowing refugees unfettered access into Europe. These same people then want any evidence that paints the refugee situation in a bad light to be censored and removed from the internet as if it didn’t even happen. It is also important to note that this incident proves what many have claimed all along which is that within the many different groups of legitimate refugees there remains a major criminal element that is being completely ignored in service to the god of hard left multiculturalism.

A Gruesome Christmas under Islam

January 18, 2016 Gatestone Institute

On Christmas Day in the West Bank, two Muslims were arrested for setting a Christmas tree on fire in a Christian majority village near Jenin. On the same day in Bethlehem, Muslim rioters greeted the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem with a hail of stones. Authorities subsequently arrested 16 “Salafi radicals” who were planning to carry out terror attacks against tourists celebrating Christmas. If this was Christmas in Bethlehem—Christ’s birthplace and scene of the Nativity—Christmas in other parts of the world experienced similar and worse abuse, including mass murder, at the hands of Muslims. In the United States, a 46-year-old Christian mother of three was among the 14 people killed in the San Bernardino terrorist attack targeting a Christmas party. etc. etc. Belgium was like Bethlehem: A video appeared showing a number of teenagers lighting a petrol bomb under a Christmas tree in Brussels. Seconds later an explosion can be heard, and the tree is quickly engulfed in flames. As they run away, the teens shout Islam’s war-cry, “Allahu Akbar.” etc. In Germany, four Eastern Orthodox Christians were accosted in the early morning hours after Christmas Day in Berlin by a man shouting, “I am a Muslim! What are you?” The man and his friends then pounced on and violently beat the Christians. etc. In Syria, the Islamic State “arrested, if not executed, some youth [five] in the city of Raqqa for befriending and greeting Christians on the occasion of Christmas.” ISIS reportedly told the five youth that “they are being detained after an investigation [including through their personal computers] found that they greeted the Christians and wished them a Happy New Year.” When one of the youth tried to exonerate himself, an ISIS member replied: “Shut up! You accompany the Christians—is that not so?” The five youth were then hauled to an unknown location. No information has since surfaced concerning their fate. The governments of three countries—Somalia, Tajikistan, and Brunei—formally banned Christmas (from celebrating its Gospel message to putting up trees, dressing like Santa Claus, and/or giving gifts). Transgressors can face as much as five years in prison. The Islamic clerics of Brunei summarized the general rationale: “Using religious symbols like crosses, lighting candles, putting up Christmas trees, singing religious songs, sending Christmas greetings … are against Islamic faith.” In Bangladesh, churches skipped traditional Christmas midnight mass services due to the increasing number of threats against and attacks on Christian leaders. Although comprising less than one percent of the Muslim nation, in the weeks before Christmas, over three dozen church leaders received death threats and at least four narrowly escaped attempts on their lives. Indonesia. More than 150,000 security personnel and others were deployed to safeguard churches and other places around the country during Christmas and New Year’s Eve celebrations. Days earlier, on December 20, police arrested six men who had bomb-making materials and jihadi literature. On December 25 in Iran, a group of about 10 Christians celebrating Christmas in a house were verbally abused and arrested after plain-clothes government agents raided their private home service. Separately, on December 23, agents beat, handcuffed, and arrested another Christian man during a raid on his home. His books, computer, mobile phone, and even decorated Christmas tree were seized. Christmas Carnage On December 24 in the Philippines, Muslim jihadis terrorized the Christian-majority nation after they seized and executed 10 Christians. A military spokesman said the terrorist attack was intentionally launched on Christmas Eve “to make a statement.” On December 25 in Nigeria, the Islamic group Boko Haram slaughtered 16 Christians, including children. The jihadi group has been bombing churches and massacring Christians on Christmas Day for several years in a row On Christmas Eve in the Democratic Republic of Congo, over 50 people of the Christian majority nation were massacred by the Ugandan-based group, ADF-Nalu etc On Christmas Eve in Iraq, the Islamic State bombed ten Christian homes and a convent in the Assyrian village of Tel Kepe. Several people were injured. On December 30, IS bombed several Christian owned restaurants in Syria, leaving 16 people dead. If Western leaders and media claim that ISIS has nothing to do with Islam, how does one explain away the fact that Muslim governmental officials—not “ISIS”—in nations as diverse Brunei, Somalia, and Tajikistan have openly and formally expressed their hostility for Christmas (and thus Christianity)? How does one explain away the fact that Muslims—not “ISIS”—terrorized and slaughtered Christians on Christmas in nations as diverse as Bangladesh, Belgium, the Congo, Germany, Indonesia, Iran, Nigeria, Philippines, Syria, the West Bank, and even the United States?

The US Navy is Combat Ineffective

January 18, 2016 Ray Starmann

USDW has been inferring all along that the feminization of the military, the social engineering of the military, the cultural Marxism being injected into the military is going to pay dividendsDividends for the enemy that is… USDW has been consistently reiterating that the Obama White House’s policies were going to create a military that will be thoroughly destroyed on the field of battle. Feminization, lowering standards, gender neutral operations, lactation and breastfeeding support memos, pregnancy simulators, transgenders in the ranks, openly gay military leaders, command hostility towards Christianity; it’s all creating a perfect storm of disaster heading directly in the path of the US military. The outer bands of that perfect storm arrived last week in the Persian Gulf. Last week, two US Navy high speed Riverine boats were apparently underway from Bahrain to Kuwait when they strayed into Iranian waters, while attempting to contact a vessel to refuel. The Pentagon first said that they had engine trouble. Yet, if that was the case, why didn’t the other boat tow the boat with mechanical problems to international waters and safety? Then, the Pentagon said that they had navigational issues. How is this possible in 2016, with each boat having an array of GPS and radar equipment? Even if one boat’s systems completely shut down, couldn’t they rely on the other boat’s GPS or radar? Somewhere during this time, the Americans strayed into Iranians waters near Farsi Island. Apparently, they were contacted by one Iranian patrol boat, then several others. The officer in charge, Lieutenant David Nartker, surrendered his boats, men and one woman to the Iranians without firing a shot. Was Nartker ordered to surrender by some Navy feather merchant echelons above God, or did he commit this act of cowardice on his own? Have no doubt, Lieutenant Nartker’s first action, to surrender his boats and personnel without offering any resistance is a violation of the US Military’s Code of Conduct, Article II, which states, I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to resist. Nartker doubled down on his outrageous conduct by answering questions from some Iranian Teheran Tom character, which was recorded on video for the world to see just what the US Navy is made of these days. Rubber… Narkter stated that, “It was a mistake. That was our fault. We apologize for our mistake.” Then, Lieutenant Nartker really went all out for his future court martial by thanking the Iranians for their hospitality and saying that the conduct of the Iranians had been “fantastic.” Fantastic?… I’ll let that one sink in for a moment. Nartker was speaking as if he and his personnel were spending 24 hours with Captain Stubing, Gopher, Isaac and Julie of the Love Boat crew in Puerto Vallarta. Nartker’s appearance on the video and his subsequent conduct during the interview with Teheran Tom, were a blatant violation of Article V of the Code of Conduct, which states, When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies or harmful to their cause. Of course the Iranians released the Americans 24 hours later. They had already insulted us again in front of the world and they knew they had billions riding on the sailors’ release. The damage had been done to the US. Again… The conduct of Lieutenant Nartker and his men (and one woman) speaks volumes about the decaying state of the US Navy in 2016. And, I’m not talking about all the budgetary and readiness issues the Navy has. That is another disaster entirely. The US Navy is basically combat ineffective. Last week’s incident proved that a US Naval Academy graduate like Nartker was literally paralyzed with fear and incompetence at the helm of the Riverine craft. Nartker looks like a Navy officer. He sounds like a Navy officer. But, he certainly doesn’t act like a US Navy officer should. Or, is his conduct the new norm? His actions have disgraced the long and brave tradition of the US Navy officers and men that have gone before him. etc. and the news story continues..

Iran Commander: 'I Saw the Weakness, Cowardice, and Fear of American Soldiers Myself'

America's nuclear partner further humiliates its military.

1.18.2016 News Trey Sanchez

Iran is in full propaganda mode after capturing and releasing 10 U.S. soldiers for allegedly entering its territorial waters in the Persian Gulf last week. State-run media has continued to capitalize on the moment by releasing video of one of the soldiers apologizing for their "mistake," as well as other humiliating videos and photos showing the soldiers surrendering to the Iranians and then later, in captivity. All of which are argued to be a violation of the Geneva Convention by attorney and National Review columnist David French. Now, an Iranian commander is stepping forward with a claim that his unit witnessed the American soldiers crying after their arrest and speaks of their "cowardice" and "weakness." From The Washington Free Beacon: "I saw the weakness, cowardice, and fear of American soldiers myself. Despite having all of the weapons and equipment, they surrendered themselves with the first action of the guardians of Islam,” Ahmad Dolabi, an IRGC [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] commander, said in Persian-language remarks at a prayer service in Iran’s Bushehr providence. “American forces receive the best training and have the most advanced weapons in the world,” he added. “But they did not have the power to confront the Guard due to weakness of faith and belief.” Dolabi added, “We gave all of the weapons and equipment to American forces according to an Islamic manner. They formally apologized to the Islamic Republic. Be certain that with the blood of martyrs, the revolution advances. No one can inflict the smallest insult upon our Islamic country.” Hossein Salami, the IRGC's deputy commander, told the press, “American sailors started crying after arrest, but the kindness of our Guard made them feel calm.” He went on to brag that no other country has been able to arrest American military personnel since the end of WWII. And what did the Obama administration do in response to all of this from its nuclear partner? Thanked the jihadists for such good treatment of our soldiers.

Superbugs to Kill Millions Soon?

by Alliance for Natural Health-USA

Just because Big Pharma can’t make big money from the potential solutions is not a reason for further delay. Action Alert! Antibiotic-resistant illnesses currently kill an estimated 700,000 people a year globally. By 2050, these illnesses are expected to kill 10 million people. Based on recent research, it could be even worse—and coming even sooner. We have had a taste of this over the winter, with an especially nasty Avian (or Type A) influenza bug hitting people, and in some cases being followed by secondary bacterial infection such as bronchitis or pneumonia. From what we hear, many of the people infected by the virus had the flu shot—which may have been more on target than last year, but which is never very protective, as we have pointed out before, and still contains mercury. Fortunately in most cases antibiotics still work against the secondary bacterial infections, which could otherwise be life-threatening. That bacterial infections are becoming resistant to antibiotics is not exactly news. But a recent report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now details the rise of a dangerous new superbug that scientists are calling the “phantom menace.” Separately, scientists recently announced the discovery of another deadly superbug in Chinese pigs. The bug that is referenced in the CDC report is from the same family of bacteria that are infecting colonoscopes and endoscopes. In previous coverage we noted that in the past few years alone there have been four major Carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae (CRE) outbreaks in US hospitals, killing dozens and sickening even more. We noted at the time that CRE is often completely untreatable by antibiotics and has a mortality rate of 40% or more. This new strand of CRE could be even more dangerous. Many bacteria become resistant to antibiotics by evolving their own genome in ways that deactivate antibiotics. This resistance cannot be shared outside that bacterium’s biological family. But this new superbug is resistant because it carries a plasmid (a small circular DNA strand in the cytoplasm of a bacterium or protozoan) containing the DNA to break down antibiotics, and this plasmid can be transferred to normal bacteria that are already present in our bodies. This shortcut allows bacteria to develop antibiotic resistance without having to obtain it through evolution. etc. and the news story continues.. - See more at: http://healthimpactnews.com/2016/superbugs-to-kill-millions-soon/#sthash.Sykyshzw.dpuf

State of Emergency Declared As Legionnaires’ Disease Spikes in Flint Michigan

Posted on January 18, 2016 By Brandon Turbeville

As if Flint, Michigan needed more problems other than an economic depression which has left the city a virtual wasteland, Flint is now the scene of a massive poisoned water scandal that has seen lead flooding the city’s drinking water supplies. Now, on top of the water emergency, a sharp increase in Legionnaires’ disease is hitting the community. State officials were forced to admit at a press conference on Wednesday that there was indeed an uptick in the cases of Legionnaires’ disease and that they have “yet to determine the cause of the disease.” Chief medical executive of the Michigan department of health and human services said that a more thorough analysis was in the works. Officials gave no new advice to Flint residents regarding their water usage in relation to the Legionnaires’ uptick. RT reports that “between June 2014 and November 2015, there were 87 cases of Legionnaires’ disease in Flint, with 10 ending in death, according to Wells. The fatality rate for the disease ranges from 5-30% depending on access to antibiotics and other factors, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.”

Million of Americans Could Starve to Death Without Divine Intervention

19 Jan, 2016 by Dave Hodges

A Cross-Section of Global Misery The following examples of food vulnerability appeared on Steve Quayle’s website in just one single day on January, 18, 2016, and it captures the desperate state of a global food crisis that has been visited upon the people of this planet. Shopping for food in Venezuela is an adventure. People are sharing their groceries with thugs who help them safely get home. Subsequently, Venezuela declares ‘economic emergency’ amid currency woes. According to the Secretary of Treasury, Jack Lew, “Puerto Rico is in economic collapse but things could get even worse“. The French president declares an economic emergency. Food availability is greatly impacted. One of my colleagues in the Independent Media wrote to me, yesterday and said everybody is broke, everybody will soon be unemployed and nobody has any discretionary income. The Canadian Economic Meltdown Canada is in the beginning of a monumental and catastrophic economic meltdown. Ultimately, millions could starve to death. And it not just Canada’s food affordability that is impacted. The high price of food is also related to the extravagant price of health care. When one combines medical equipment and pharmaceuticals amount Canada accounts for 6.3% of American imports. Our medical system is already the most expensive in the world, so a plunge in the dollar’s value would make that situation significantly worse. When the food crisis is visited upon America, medicine affordability will also be impacted. Just how much food vulnerability is there in Canada? Just take a look at the prices that Canadians are paying at the grocery store. Well At Least America Has Nothing to Worry About Unfortunately, the above statement is wholly untrue. Even before this crisis spreads to America, one in six Americans are on food stamps. An estimated seven million people starved to death during the Great Depression. And amazingly, these people had food preparation skills, such as canning, that today’s Americans do not possess. Two Food Experts Speak Out Cliff Harris has been making accurate predictions about farming and food trends for over 40 years. Ed Petrowski has been farming the fields of Pratt, Kansas for decades. I had both men on show this past Sunday night to present to the world a farmer’s perspective on what is happening with our food supply. One of the more stunning trends that both men pointed out was the fact that over 15% of American farmers will leave the business this year because of extreme government intrusion. They both said that there will be an extreme food shortage as a result. In fact, they both said there would be a food crisis in the United States anyway. And as Cliff Harris, a climatologist pointed out, there would be a food shortage anyway due to extreme weather changes. This was an one hour interview, where I probably did not say 100 words. I wanted the listening public to listen to two prominent men in field of farming about what is really happening to the American food supply instead of reading the lies contained in various government reports. Listen to this interview by clicking here. What Does It All Mean? The bottom line for what this means is that millions of Americans could starve to death without divine intervention. Are we a nation under judgment? It would seem so. History clearly demonstrates that when a nation’s food supply is put in jeopardy, revolutions frequently arise. When several nations experience food vulnerability, wars can take place. Along these same lines, when banker profits are threatened, bankers create wars. The combination of these factors could lead a reasonable person to assume that there is a false flag nature to the emerging global food crisis. Somebody wants to force the world to go to war over its most previous resource. There will be a part two to cover these eventualities. In the meantime, please consider the following statistic: Yesterday, the Baltic Dry Index Dropped to An All-Time Low of 373. Virtually, nothing is moving in terms of global trade including food!

The North Dakota Crude Oil That's Worth Almost Nothing

By Dan Murtaugh Javier Blas January 18, 2016 — 3:28 AM EST Updated on January 18, 2016 — 5:01 PM EST

Oil is so plentiful and cheap in the U.S. that at least one buyer says it would pay almost nothing to take a certain type of low-quality crude. Flint Hills Resources LLC, the refining arm of billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch’s industrial empire, said it offered to pay $1.50 a barrel Friday for North Dakota Sour, a high-sulfur grade of crude, according to a corrected list of prices posted on its website Monday. It had previously posted a price of -$0.50. The crude is down from $13.50 a barrel a year ago and $47.60 in January 2014. While the near-zero price is due to the lack of pipeline capacity for a particular variety of ultra low quality crude, it underscores how dire things are in the U.S. oil patch. U.S. benchmark oil prices have collapsed more than 70 percent in the past 18 months and fell below $30 a barrel for the first time in 12 years last week. West Texas Intermediate traded as low as $28.36 in New York. Brent, the international benchmark, settled at $28.55 in London. “Telling producers that they have to pay you to take away their oil certainly gives the producers a whole bunch of incentive to shut in their wells,” Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates LLC in Houston, said of the price that was posted as negative until Flint Hills revised it on Monday. Jake Reint, a Flint Hills spokesman, said the price was fixed on the website after the firm incorrectly posted it as negative. The prices reported by Flint Hills Resources and rivals such as Plains All American Pipeline LP are used as benchmarks, setting reference prices for dozens of different crudes produced in the U.S. Plains All American quoted two other varieties of American low quality crude at very low prices: South Texas Sour at $13.25 a barrel and Oklahoma Sour at $13.50 a barrel. Canadian Bitumen High-sulfur crude in North Dakota is a small portion of the state’s production, with less than 15,000 barrels a day coming out of the ground, said John Auers, executive vice president at Turner Mason & Co. in Dallas. The output has been dwarfed by low-sulfur crude from the Bakken shale formation in the western part of the state, which has grown to 1.1 million barrels a day in the past 10 years. Different grades of oil are priced based on their quality and transport costs to refineries. High-sulfur crudes are generally priced lower because they can only be processed at plants that have specific equipment to remove sulfur. Producers and refiners often mix grades to achieve specific blends, and prices for each component can rise or fall to reflect current economics. Enbridge Inc. stopped allowing high-sulfur crudes on its pipeline out of North Dakota in 2011, forcing North Dakota Sour producers to rely on more expensive transport such as trucks and trains, according to Auers. Producers outside the U.S. are also feeling pain. The price for Canadian bitumen -- the thick, sticky substance at the center of the heated debate over TransCanada Corp.’s Keystone XL pipeline -- fell to $8.35 last week, down from as much as $80 less than two years ago. Negative energy prices are rare but not unprecedented. Propane traded at a negative value in Edmonton, a key pipeline hub in oil-rich Alberta, for about three months last year. Oil refineries sometimes pay people to take away low-demand products such as sulfur or petroleum coke to free up space. However, those are both processing byproducts, while oil is a raw material, according to Auers.“You don’t produce stuff that’s a negative number,” Auers said. “You shut in the well.” Before it's here, it's on the Bloomberg Terminal.

ISIS destroys Iraq's oldest Christian monastery, satellite photos confirm

Published January 20, 2016 Associated Press

ERBIL, Iraq – Satellite photos obtained by The Associated Press confirm what church leaders and Middle East preservationists had feared: The oldest Christian monastery in Iraq has been reduced to a field of rubble, yet another victim of the Islamic State group's relentless destruction of heritage sites it considers heretical. St. Elijah's Monastery stood as a place of worship for 1,400 years, including most recently for U.S. troops. In earlier millennia, generations of monks tucked candles in the niches, prayed in the chapel, worshipped at the altar. The Greek letters chi and rho, representing the first two letters of Christ's name, were carved near the entrance. This month, at the request of the AP, satellite imagery firm DigitalGlobe tasked a high resolution camera to grab photos of the site, and then pulled earlier images of the same spot. Before it was razed, a partially restored, 27,000-square-foot stone and mortar building stood fortress-like on a hill above Mosul etc. and the news story continues..

At least 21 dead in 'Taliban' attack on Pakistan university

Posted 20 Jan 2016 13:17 Updated 20 Jan 2016 23:57

Gunmen opened fire on students at Bacha Khan university in northwest Pakistan, leaving at least 21 dead and scores injured. Four militants were killed, said the army.

CAHRSADDA, Pakistan: At least 21 people died when gunmen armed with grenades and Kalashnikovs attacked a university in Pakistan on Wednesday (Jan 20), with all four attackers killed by security forces who moved in under thick fog to halt the bloodshed. The assault was claimed by a Pakistani Taliban faction but branded "un-Islamic" by the umbrella group's leadership, who vowed to hunt down those responsible.

Indian authorities in Madhya Pradesh state have arrested and jailed 12 individuals, charging them with having converted to Christianity in violation of laws forbidding religious conversions. The 12, who included a blind couple—Balu Saste and his wife Bhuri—with their 3-year-old child, were arrested on January 14 in Dahar village and sent to jail the following day. On Jan. 17, seven of the prisoners were subsequently released on bail while the others continue to serve their sentences. Police Chief Inspector Umesh Chandra Tiwari said that Saste was “already accused in another three-year-old conversion case.” “We did not know why we were arrested and sent to jail,” said another of the group, 35-year-old Janu Bai, after being released from prison. Bai said that the group had gathered at the home of one of the group, Shankar Singh, to celebrate the Hindu harvest festival of Makarsankrati. “I have faith in Jesus and regularly pray to him,” said Singh, who claims to have led an unhappy life and struggled with alcoholism “before experiencing the love of God” with the assistance of some ministers. “Later I began to follow Jesus but am not a member of any church,” he said. They twelve were charged with “promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc, and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony” and also with trying to convert Hindus to Christianity, allegedly through “allurement,” police said. In 2013, the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) passed legislation tightening existing measures against religious conversion in Madhya Pradesh state, aimed especially at Christians. The law requires that a person who wishes to change religion must first inform the district magistrate of his decision. Moreover, any priest or minister who presides over a “conversion ceremony” must inform the government a month earlier, providing the exact date, time and place in which the conversion will take place, or suffer legal penalties if he fails to do this. etc. and the news story continues..

It Has Begun - Food Shortages Already In America And What Is Coming Next Is Going To Be Ugly - The Crash Felt Round The World

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

A look at the Real-Time Stock Indices Futures before the opening bell on Wednesday, January 20, 2016, shows the ongoing "crash" that is being felt round the world, evidencing the extreme stress the markets are suffering is all the red you see when you click this link, but the problem is not as simple as plunging oil prices or China's economy as the Hell Stream Media would like you to believe. In the Reuters video below from just this morning, towards the end, the real culprits are highlighted when the expert they speak with details how China is being made the scapegoat but how there are "far greater concerns in relation to the health of the Japanese economy and also the United States economy, which to me, are being somewhat downplayed." Somewhat downplayed? Perhaps in the international news it is being "somewhat" downplayed, but as for the America media, it is being ignored, they continue to insist the nation is recovering.... and that ladies and gentlemen is why when the house of cards coming tumbling down the majority of Americans are going to be caught by surprise. FOOD SHORTAGES HAVE ALREADY BEGUN IN AMERICA Last week we saw comments at ANP, from a variety of states, showing that grocery sections of stores in smaller areas are already seeing shortages where they have never witnessed them before. 3 days ago - Gary aka Godzilla commented "Speaking of food shortages, I needed some fresh cabbage for today's pot of my special Venison stew. Off the Wal-mart I went. Cabbage heads were tiny compared to normal (I had to buy 3, when I would normally do), they were out of green peppers and a few other things normally found in the fresh produce section. This is the first time I have seen this folks, and I think it's only going to get worse." In a response to that commenter 'idontknow" states "Now that you mention it, Walmart didn't have either green peppers or tomatoes the last time I went. I hadn't seen that before either... James Grubbs adds "Seeing the same thing here SE Ohio. Went shopping yesterday and saw the same things you describe here. I'm not saying it's panic time but seeing this should have people prepping even harder. It's hard to imagine the hardships after a collapse because we haven't seen it in our life times." Small shortages, unreported that will become massive shortages when it all hits the fan, but enough to see what is coming at us... there is a reason that food will be one of the most critical elements in the coming collapse, as explained by Alt Market in an article titled "The U.S. Is At The Center Of The Global Economic Meltdown." While the economic implosion progresses this year, there will be considerable misdirection and disinformation as to the true nature of what is taking place. As I have outlined in the past, the masses were so ill informed by the mainstream media during the Great Depression that most people had no idea they were actually in the midst of an “official” depression until years after it began. The chorus of economic journalists of the day made sure to argue consistently that recovery was “right around the corner.” Our current depression has been no different, but something is about to change. Unlike the Great Depression, social crisis will eventually eclipse economic crisis in the U.S. That is to say, our society today is so unequipped to deal with a financial collapse that the event will inevitably trigger cultural upheaval and violent internal conflict. In the 1930s, nearly 50% of the American population was rural. Farmers made up 21% of the labor force. Today, only 20% of the population is rural. Less than 2% work in farming and agriculture. That’s a rather dramatic shift from a more independent and knowledgeable land-utilizing society to a far more helpless and hapless consumer-based system. We suggest you read the entire article. Just to understand how ugly things are about to get, we remind you of Venezuela from August 2015 reports where hunger riots spun out of control, seen in the footage below where at the 2:34 mark the Reuters narrator explains what is being shown. STAGES OF COLLAPSE AND WHAT COMES NEXT Readers can take a look at an excellent rundown of what the five stages of collapse are over at TargetofOpportunity, reading the details and decide where in these stages you believe we are now, but it is after the collapse that people need to be prepared for, and the six likely events that will follow an economic collapse in America, published by SHTF Plan. Those are as follows: Travel restrictions will be implemented; Wealth will be confiscated; Food shortages; Squatters rebellions; Riots and finally; Martial law. It is not just "Alternative News" that makes these predictions as we are reminded of some quotes from 2012 from billionaire George Soros in regards to what to expect when America's economy completely falls, as he agreed there would be a spontaneous eruption of violence and riots, then goes on to detail what will be worse than the publics reaction, which will be the governments response: "It will be an excuse for cracking down and using strong-arm tactics to maintain law and order, which, carried to an extreme, could bring about a repressive political system, a society where individual liberty is much more constrained, which would be a break with the tradition of the United States." BOTTOM LINE It is coming and certain aspects of this economic fall have already begun, but when it hits it will be the worst crash in history and we have a nation of unprepared citizens, so the danger is increased by the nth degree. Cash won't have value for long but for the beginning it will still have some worth so have cash at hand, but for long-term, we truly hope folks have invested in some precious metals because they will be all that hold monetary value. Other than preparing for yourself and your family with food, water, medical supplies and the basics, try to have extra of each because bartering items will most likely be another form of value. Weapons, a means of defense against those that refused to listen but decide they are "entitled" to what you have after it all comes crashing down, is a must and experts are ecouraging people to stock up on all the above. Pre-arranged meeting points with family, friends and other preparedness community members.... have a plan in place, not only to gather your family and friends around you, but for the purposes of setting up a mutal defense community. The bottom line here folks is if you are not prepared for what is coming.... then you won't survive.

Caught On Tape: 1,000 Dutch Villagers Storm Town Hall In Anti-Migrant Melee

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/19/2016 12:31 -0500

As regular readers are by now acutely aware, Europeans are growing increasingly frustrated with officials’ response to the bloc’s worst refugee crisis since World War II. To be sure, some countries were skeptical from the very beginning. Take Hungary for example, whose firebrand PM Viktor Orban built a series of migrant-be-gone fences late last summer and defended them with tear gas and water cannons. Be that as it may, most Europeans were willing to give refugees the benefit of the doubt. That began to change after attacks on Paris killed some 130 people in November and sentiment took a decisive turn for the worst earlier this month when scores of sexual assaults allegedly perpetrated by men of “Arab origin” on New Year’s Eve created a bloc-wide scandal. Now, right-wing movements like PEGIDA in Germany and the Soldiers of Odin in Finland are gaining popularity as nationalism rises from the ashes of Europe’s checkered past. Meanwhile, sales of gun and pepper spray are soaring and in a testament to just how frightened people are, one German town moved to ban male adult asylum seekers from public swimming pools. In the latest example of how quickly things are spiraling out of control, far-right Dutch politician Geert Wilders inadvertently incited a violent riot in tiny Heesch where town officials attempted to hold a public meeting to discuss plans to take in 500 refugees in the town over the next ten years. Hours before the meeting was set to take place, Wilders called for all Islamic male asylum seekers to be locked in their asylum centers in order to “protect our women.” Shortly thereafter, a Facebook page “Protest AZC Heesch” garnered some 3,000 likes and before you knew it, 1,000 angry villagers actually stormed the castle - literally. “The atmosphere turned nasty, and the meeting was abandoned as dozens of protesters tried to storm the town hall,” AFP writes adding that “the town gave police extra powers after the demonstration ran out of control."

More Air Force drones are crashing than ever as mysterious new problems emerge

By Craig Whitlock January 20 at 10:02 AM

The crash of an MQ-9 Reaper drone near Creech Air Force Base in Nevada on Dec. 11, 2014. The investigation determined the cause of the accident to be pilot error during a training flight. (U.S. Air Force) A record number of Air Force drones crashed in major accidents last year, documents show, straining the U.S. military’s fleet of robotic aircraft when it is in more demand than ever for counterterrorism missions in an expanding array of war zones. Driving the increase was a mysterious surge in mishaps involving the Air Force’s newest and most advanced “hunter-killer” drone, the Reaper, which has become the Pentagon’s favored weapon for conducting surveillance and airstrikes against the Islamic State, al-Qaeda and other militant groups. The Reaper has been bedeviled by a rash of sudden electrical failures that have caused the 21/2-ton drone to lose power and drop from the sky, according to accident-investigation documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act. Investigators have traced the problem to a faulty starter-generator, but have been unable to pinpoint why it goes haywire or devise a permanent fix. All told, 20 large Air Force drones were destroyed or sustained at least $2 million in damage in accidents last year, the worst annual toll ever, according to a Washington Post investigation. The Pentagon has shrouded the extent of the problem and kept details of most of the crashes a secret. he aircraft losses pose another challenge for the Air Force as it struggles to provide sufficient drone coverage for counterterrorism operations in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen, Libya, Mali and Cameroon, among other countries. Despite a surge in requests from field commanders, the Air Force last year had to curtail its drone combat missions by 8 percent because of an acute shortage of pilots for the remote-controlled aircraft. Things have gotten so bad that the Air Force is offering retention bonuses of up to $125,000 to its drone pilots, who have long complained of overwork. The Air Force also has contracted out more drone missions to private companies to meet what one general called “a virtually insatiable appetite” from military commanders for airborne surveillance. etc. and the news article continues..

Judge rejects Obama's executive privilege claim over Fast and Furious records

The Justice Department's own public disclosures undercut the president's privilege claim, Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled.

By Josh Gerstein 01/19/16 01:16 PM EST

A federal judge has rejected President Barack Obama's assertion of executive privilege to deny Congress access to records pertaining to Operation Fast and Furious, a gunrunning probe that allegedly allowed thousands of weapons to flow across the border into Mexico. U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled Tuesday that the Justice Department's public disclosures about its response to the so-called "gun walking" controversy undercut Obama's executive privilege claim. "There is no need to balance the need against the impact that the revelation of any record could have on candor in future executive decision making, since any harm that might flow from the public revelation of the deliberations at issue here has already been self-inflicted," Jackson wrote. "The Department itself has already publicly revealed the sum and substance of the very material it is now seeking to withhold. Since any harm that would flow from the disclosures sought here would be merely incremental, the records must be produced." Jackson said she wasn't questioning the propriety of Obama's claim of privilege, but ruling that the claim could not be sustained in view of other information the Justice Department had released on the topic, etc. and the news story continues..

Hating Americans Is Official Saudi and Qatari Policy

January 19, 2016

As American talking heads continue to express their “moral outrage” at Donald Trump’s call “for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on,” perhaps they should first consider what is the official position of foreign Muslim governments on Americans—beginning with U.S. “friends and allies.” As it happens, jihadi hate for non-Muslim “infidels” is not limited to the Islamic State, which U.S. leadership dismisses as neither a real state nor representative of Islam. Rather, it’s the official position of, among others, Saudi Arabia — a very real state, birthplace of Islam, and, of course, “friend and ally” of America. Saudi Arabia’s Permanent Committee for Islamic Research and Issuing Fatwas[1]—which issues religious decrees that become law—issued a fatwa, or decree, titled, “Duty to Hate Jews, Polytheists, and Other Infidels.” Written by Sheikh Abd al-Aziz ibn Baz (d. 1999), former grand mufti and highest religious authority in the government, it still appears on the website. According to this governmentally-supported fatwa, Muslims—that is, the entire Saudi citizenry—must “oppose and hate whomever Allah commands us to oppose and hate, including the Jews, the Christians, and other mushrikin [non-Muslims], until they believe in Allah alone and abide by his laws, which he sent down to his Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings upon him.” To prove this, Baz quotes a number of Koran verses that form the doctrine of Loyalty and Enmity—the same doctrine every Sunni jihadi organization evokes to the point of concluding that Muslim men must hate their Christian or Jewish wives (though they may enjoy them sexually). These Koran verses include: “Do not take the Jews and the Christians for your friends and allies” (5:51) and “You shall find none who believe in Allah and the Last Day on friendly terms with those who oppose Allah and His Messenger [i.e., non-Muslims]—even if they be their fathers, their sons, their brothers, or their nearest kindred” (58:22; see also 3:28, 60:4, 2:120). After quoting the verses, Baz reiterates: Such verses are many and offer clear proofs concerning the obligation to despise infidels from the Jews, Christians, and all other non-Muslims, as well as the obligation to oppose them until they believe in Allah alone. etc. and the news story continues..

War On Cash Escalates: China Readies Digital Currency, IMF Says "Extremely Beneficial"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/20/2016 19:20 -0500

Remember when Bitcoin and its digital currency cohorts were slammed by authorities and written off by the elite as worthless? Well now, as the war on cash escalates, officials from The IMF to China are seeing the opportunity to control the world's money through virtual (cash-less) currencies. Just as we warned most recently here, state wealth control is the goal and, as Bloomberg reports, The PBOC is targeting an early rollout of China's own digital currency to "boost control of money" and none other than The IMF's Christine Lagarde added that "virtual currencies are extremely beneficial." By way of background, as we explained previously, What exactly does a “war on cash” mean? It means governments are limiting the use of cash and a variety of official-mouthpiece economists are calling for the outright abolition of cash. Authorities are both restricting the amount of cash that can be withdrawn from banks, and limiting what can be purchased with cash. These limits are broadly called “capital controls.” Why Now? Why are governments suddenly so keen to ban physical cash? The answer appears to be that the banks and government authorities are anticipating bail-ins, steeply negative interest rates and hefty fees on cash, and they want to close any opening regular depositors might have to escape these forms of officially sanctioned theft. The escape mechanism from bail-ins and fees on cash deposits is physical cash, and hence the sudden flurry of calls to eliminate cash as a relic of a bygone age — that is, an age when commoners had some way to safeguard their money from bail-ins and bankers’ control. Forcing Those With Cash To Spend or Gamble Their Cash Negative interest rates (and fees on cash, which are equivalently punitive to savers) raise another question: why are governments suddenly obsessed with forcing owners of cash to either spend it or gamble it in the financial-market casinos The conventional answer voiced by Mr. Buiter is that recession and credit contraction result from households and enterprises hoarding cash instead of spending it. The solution to recession is thus to force all those stingy cash hoarders to spend their money. And so now we see China pushing for the early unleashing its own virtual currency, as Bloomberg reports Issuance of digital currency can help reduce costs, curb crimes and money laundry, facilitate transactions and boost central bank’s control on money supply and circulation, PBOC says in statement on website after concluding a seminar today. PBOC has asked its research team, which was set up in 2014, to study application scenarios for digital currency and strive for an early rollout. PBOC Statement: People's Bank of China digital currency seminar held in Beijing. From the People's Bank, Citibank and Deloitte digital currency expert, respectively, on the overall framework of digital currency currency evolving national digital currency, encryption currency issued by the State and other topics of discussion and exchange. People's Bank of China Governor Zhou Xiaochuan attended the meeting, the People's Bank of China Deputy Governor Chair Fan Yifei. Relevant research institutions, major financial institutions and advisory bodies of experts attended the meeting. The meeting pointed out that with the development of information technology and mobile Internet, cloud computing Trusted controlled, secure storage terminal evolution, block chain technology worldwide payment undergone tremendous changes, the development of digital currency is central Bank of currency and monetary policy has brought new opportunities and challenges. The People's Bank attaches great importance from 2014 to set up a special research team, and in early 2015 to further enrich the power of digital distribution and business operations monetary framework, the key technology of digital currency, digital currency issued and outstanding environment, digital currency legal issues facing the impact of digital currency on economic and financial system, the relationship between money and private legal digital distribution of digital currency, digital currency issuance of international experience conducted in-depth research, has achieved initial results. The meeting held that China's current economy under the new norm, explore the central bank issued digital currency has a positive practical significance and far-reaching historical significance. It can reduce the traditional distribution of digital currency note issue, the high cost of circulation, improve convenience and transparency of economic transactions and reduce money laundering, tax evasion and other criminal acts to enhance the central bank's money supply and currency in circulation control, better support economic and social development, the full realization of inclusive finance help. Future, digital currency issuance, circulation system also helps build our new financial infrastructure construction, further improve China's payment system, improve payment and settlement efficiency, promote economic quality and efficiency upgrades. The meeting urged the People's Bank of digital currency research team to actively absorb the important results and practical experience of digital currency research at home and abroad, continue to advance on the basis of preliminary work to establish a more effective organizational guarantee mechanism, to further clarify the strategic objectives of the central bank issued digital currency and do key technologies, multi-scene digital currency research applications for the early introduction of digital currency issued by the central bank. Design of digital currency should be based on economic, convenience and safety principles, and ensure the application of low-cost digital currency, wide coverage, digital currency payment instruments with other seamlessly, enhance the applicability and vitality of digital currency. The People's Bank in advancing digital currency research work with relevant international agencies, Internet companies to establish a communication link with the domestic and foreign financial institutions, traditional card-based payment institutions were widely discussed. At home and abroad to participate in discussions of attention to this work, and related research on expert theory, practice and exploration and development path with the people in the banking system conducted in-depth exchanges. Which was raidly followed by yet another belessing from The IMF: *IMF’S LAGARDE SAYS VIRTUAL CURRENCIES ARE EXTREMELY BENEFICIAL *VIRTUAL CURRENCIES ALSO COULD BE DESTABILIZING: LAGARDE The International Monetary Fund extolled the potential benefits of virtual currencies and said they warrant a more nuanced regulatory approach, at a time when the future of bitcoin, the most well-known example, is in doubt. “Virtual currencies and their underlying technologies can provide faster and cheaper financial services, and can become a powerful tool for deepening financial inclusion in the developing world,” IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said in a statement Wednesday to accompany the report. "The challenge will be how to reap all these benefits and at the same time prevent illegal uses, such as money laundering, terror financing, fraud and even circumvention of capital controls.” However, as we detailed previously. there are three enormous flaws in this thinking. One is that households and businesses have cash to hoard. The reality is the bottom 90 percent of households have less income now than they did fifteen years ago, which means their spending has declined not from hoarding but from declining income. etc. and the news story continues..

Banks admit to $1 TRILLION in “non-performing” loans; must be re-capitalized using depositor money thru bail-ins!

Submitted by IWB, on January 20th, 2016

Banks are now publicly admitting they have $1 TRILLION in non-performing loans on their books and will need “re-capitalization” with Depositor’s money through Bail-ins! This will be discussed today at the World Economic Forum in Davos. The global financial system has become dangerously unstable and faces an avalanche of bankruptcies that will test social and political stability, a leading monetary theorist has warned. “The situation is worse than it was in 2007. Our macroeconomic ammunition to fight downturns is essentially all used up,” said William White, the Swiss-based chairman of the OECD’s review committee and former chief economist of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). “Debts have continued to build up over the last eight years and they have reached such levels in every part of the world that they have become a potent cause for mischief,” he said. “It will become obvious in the next recession that many of these debts will never be serviced or repaid, and this will be uncomfortable for a lot of people who think they own assets that are worth something,” he told The Telegraph on the eve of the World Economic Forum in Davos. etc. and the news story continues..

Russian Ruble Crashes To Record Lows In "Panic": "Some Investors Are Selling At Any Price"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/21/2016 10:08 -0500

Late last month, we took a look at Russia’s economy and concluded that although the country has proven to be remarkably resilient in the face of collapsing crude prices, the outlook is darkening. The ruble has fallen for three consecutive years and is now under immense pressure both from Western economic sanctions and from crude’s inexorable decline. “The wish to hedge potential risks from geopolitics and commodities may well push the ruble to 75,” Evgeny Koshelev, an analyst at Rosbank PJSC in Moscow, told Bloomberg by e-mail in December. “It will be interesting to see if there’s a reaction from the central bank, government and households to this weakening.” Koshelev’s warning proved prescient. Oil prices continued to slide in the new year as uncertainty out of China, a dour outlook for global growth and trade (see the IMF’s latest cut to global growth forecasts), and the prospect of increased Iranian supply weighed on a market that was already “drowning” in oversupply, to quote the IEA. Meanwhile, the geopolitical situation took a nasty turn for the worst earlier this month when Saudi Arabia irked the Shiite world with the execution of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, whose death adds fuel to the sectarian fires already burning in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen. Thanks to Moscow’s intervention on behalf of Bashar al-Assad, Russia is now inextricably bound up in the melee. Against this backdrop, the ruble has collapsed to fresh record lows and on Thursday marked its steepest two-day decline in nine months, falling beyond 85 per USD. “After the ruble crossed the psychological level of 80, traders sharply accelerated their selling,” Alexei Egorov, an analyst at Promsvyazbank in Moscow told Bloomberg. “The ruble is catching up with oil as investors review their view on Russian assets.” The decline has analysts pondering The Kremlin’s next move. “Any form of interventions might be the least preferred option from the CBR perspective, given their preference of having as much FX reserves as possible,” ING’s chief Russia economist Dmitry Polevoy says, in a note. etc. and the news story continues..

Gold Jumps Above $1,100 an Ounce as Stock Market Plummets

By Joshua Krause

Today was an encouraging day for gold investors. The precious metal rose above $1,100 an ounce, breaking above a 100-day moving average. Silver also managed to climb out of its rut as it continued to climb above $14 per ounce, breaking its 50-day moving average. The reason for these dramatic moves is no mystery. Investors are placing their bets on these safe haven assets after several weeks of frightening economic news. Today saw the Dow briefly plunge 500 points, the S&P 500 reached its lowest level since February of 2014, and nearly 1,400 stocks on the New York Stock Exchange fell to 52-week lows. etc. and the news story continues..

Producing the trash most of us buy in the stores. If their economy is collapsing and no ships are traversing the seas and rails movement is down that should tell you no one is buying the goods from China, at least there is a large reduction in demand. Union Pacific Corp.’s fourth-quarter profit fell 22 percent as the railroad hauled 9 percent less freight and worked to cut costs to match the reduced demand. Its shares fell almost 5 percent in premarket trading Thursday. Source: Union Pacific 4Q Profit Falls 22 Pct as Freight Volume Slows – ABC News

Crashing oil prices hit former Texas boomtowns

“It’s just like a ghost town again,” bar owner says

USA Today - January 21, 2016

Back when the oil money flowed, the Location 581 Saloon would be crammed with pipefitters, welders, derrickhands, truck drivers and all sorts of oilfield workers – as many as 35 of them a night together shelling out more than $2,000 for drinks and good times. These days, the bar in this South Texas city 50 miles southwest of San Antonio sits mostly empty, except for a few locals. On a recent early evening, three clients sat at the bar. Only two were drinking. “It’s just like a ghost town again,” said Troy Reeves, the bar’s owner.

Emergency planners plan for deadly 'Big One' earthquake

PORTLAND, Ore.

As military helicopters ferry search and rescue teams over the Pacific Northwest, below them are scenes of devastation from a giant earthquake that could strike the region at any time. Tsunami waters surge through coastal communities. Buildings, bridges and roads lie in ruins. Fires burn out of control. Survivors are stranded on rooftops, cling to floating debris or are trapped inside wrecked buildings. Seismologists say a full rupture of a 650-mile-long offshore fault running from Northern California to British Columbia and an ensuing tsunami could come in our lifetime, and emergency management officials are busy preparing for the worst. Federal, state and military officials have been working together to draft plans to be followed when the "Big One" happens. These contingency plans reflect deep anxiety about the potential gravity of the looming disaster: upward of 14,000 people dead in the worst-case scenarios, 30,000 injured, thousands left homeless and the region's economy setback for years, if not decades. As a response, what planners envision is a deployment of civilian and military personnel and equipment that would eclipse the response to any natural disaster that has occurred thus far in the U.S. As a response, what planners envision is a deployment of civilian and military personnel and equipment that would eclipse the response to any natural disaster that has occurred thus far in the U.S. There would be waves of cargo planes, helicopters and ships, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers, emergency officials, mortuary teams, police officers, firefighters, engineers, medical personnel and other specialists. "The response will be orders of magnitude larger than Hurricane Katrina or Super Storm Sandy," said Lt. Col. Clayton Braun of the Washington State Army National Guard, referring to two of the best-known natural disasters in recent U.S. history. Since 2013, Braun has led a team at work on putting together a military response plan for Washington state, to be used in conjunction with efforts by state and federal civilian agencies. Oregon's response plan is called the Cascadia Playbook, named after the threatening offshore fault — the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The plan, unveiled last year, has been handed out to key officials so the state can respond quickly when disaster strikes. and the news story continues..

The Frightening Prospect of a Nuclear War Is About to Become a Lot More Likely

A fight now underway over newly-designed U.S. nuclear weapons highlights how far the Obama administration has strayed from its commitment to build a nuclear-free world. The fight, as a recent New York Times article indicates, concerns a variety of nuclear weapons that the U.S. military is currently in the process of developing or, as the administration likes to say, “modernizing.” Last year, the Pentagon flight-tested a mock version of the most advanced among them, the B61 Model 12. This redesigned nuclear weapon is the country’s first precision-guided atomic bomb, with a computer brain and maneuverable fins that enable it to more accurately target sites for destruction. It also has a “dial-a-yield” feature that allows its handlers to adjust the level of its explosive power. Supporters of this revamped weapon of mass destruction argue that, by ensuring greater precision in bombing “enemy” targets, reducing the yield of a nuclear blast, and making a nuclear attack more “thinkable,” the B61 Model 12 is actually a more humanitarian and credible weapon than older, bigger versions. Arguing that this device would reduce risks for civilians near foreign military targets, James Miller, who developed the nuclear weapons modernization plan while undersecretary of defense, stated in a recent interview that “minimizing civilian casualties if deterrence fails is both a more credible and a more ethical approach.” Other specialists were far more critical. The Federation of Atomic Scientists pointed out that the high accuracy of the weapon and its lower settings for destructiveness might tempt military commanders to call for its use in a future conflict. etc. and the news story continues..

American True Grit – How We Lost It, How We Can Get It Back

January 20, 2016 Ray Starmann

“They tell me you’re a man with True Grit.”

Kim Darby to John Wayne in the original True Grit (1969)

The character Rooster Cogburn certainly had True Grit, but so did the majority of Americans in our history. Unfortunately, the well-known American True Grit; our courage, honesty, common sense and heartiness have virtually disappeared from most Americans in the 21st Century. We are no longer the United States of the Minutemen, the Cowboy, The Boys of Pointe Du Hoc, the Mountain Men and Merrill’s Marauders. Where is the America of Jim Bowie, Jedediah Smith, Wyatt Earp, George Patton, Chesty Puller, Teddy Roosevelt, Molly Pitcher, Rosie the Riveter and millions of anonymous, tough, brave, resourceful heroes who built this great country? America of 2016 is the nation of overweight kids, soccer moms, socialist public school administrators who ban dodge ball, metrosexual men; transgender TV stars, helicopter parents and college kids who need safe spaces with Play Doh. Our military is being led by feather merchants and perfumed princes who care more about following White House social engineering mandates than about doing what is right for the national defense. Subsequently, we are being pushed around the world by the Iranians, ISIS, the Russians and the Chinese. We are a nation led by left-wing cowards who don’t have the intestinal fortitude to do battle with evil. In 2016 America, we are nation of quirky, politically correct wimps who place more value on our social media status than the ideas that made this country the greatest nation on the earth. Truth, honor, bravery are all archaic and fleeting values in American society. Our heroes today seem to be fly-by-night social media stars, who disappear as quickly as they appeared on your phone app. We’ve adopted a follow the herd mentality in a nation formally filled with the world’s toughest and most innovative individualists. We are afraid to take tough positions for fear of speaking the truth, as if the truth can physically harm us. The wisdom of The Duke seems as archaic in 2016 America as a typewriter or a musket. “There’s right and there’s wrong and you gotta do one or the other. You do the one and you’re living. You do the other and you maybe walkin’ around, but you’re as dead as a beaver hat.” Americans have become afraid of everything since 9-11. We’re now a nation that wants the government to make us safe. We need to make ourselves safe, not depend on any government to do anything for us. What did any government ever do for mankind, except try to enslave it? We have developed a go along, get along attitude which gets us nowhere. Not speaking the truth, not doing what you know is right; in order to placate someone or something is paralyzing and morally deceitful. We’re a nation more interested in our number of Facebook likes and the latest TMZ episode than about reality. Americans don’t live in reality anymore. We live outside of it, inside bubbles of social media fantasy lands where we can hide behind avatars and fake names. Our TV shows portray American men as feckless, incompetent idiots who bow in submission to everyone around them. Our TV shows and movies rarely ever portray heroes. There are no Marshal Matt Dillon’s and Sergeant Saunders’ and Thomas Magnum’s on TV anymore. If the Americans of yesteryear were like the American people in 2016, we would have been conquered and vanquished a long time ago. How did we lose our True Grit? How did all this happen? The social revolution of the 1960’s set the precedent for the complete unraveling of everything decent in American society. Our school, churches, entertainment, fine arts and now the military have gradually been eaten alive by Cultural Marxism, political correctness and feminist insanity. Policies set forth by dumpy socialist women in Birkenstocks and liberal elected officials have gradually become the values of America. The 1960s’ social revolution did more to destroy this nation than anything the Soviet Union could have ever accomplished. How can we get our American True Grit back? Can we? A good start would be the election of a Republican President, who believes, like most conservatives do, in the age old values of America, aka, American True Grit. Real American History, not the politically correct, multi-cultural garbage taught in our public schools must be taught to young Americans. Our heroes and our traditional values must be ingrained into the new generation. Americans must once again look at George Washington as a hero, not a cross dressing, former Olympic track star. We should read more or find other hobbies, instead of wasting away on social media. We must never, as George Patton said, take counsel of our fears. Do what is right. Fear nothing. Have common sense. Use your gut feelings. In the final analysis, we must adhere to the words of the late Major Dick Winters of Band of Brothers fame and “Hang Tough.” Only then will Americans begin to break the shackles of fear and political correctness and cultural Marxism and regain our American True Grit. The Shining City on the Hill must once again be the haven for the tough and resourceful and courageous.

The Coming Hell Storm In Amerika

21 Jan, 2016 by Dave Hodges

“It is not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog”

This axiom is soon going to be put to the test in the United States. In any upcoming civil conflict, the American people will be outnumbered by foreign troops and Artificially Intelligent Robots and other high tech devices designed to destroy any rebellion. The Russians could be coming down our chimneys this year. With the Russians and the Chinese gaining a foothold in the Middle East, the isolation of our allies by Putin’s superior strategies, and the soon-t0-be-collapsing economy. The Ammon Bundy situation, if handled poorly by the feds, could result in violence so widespread that it makes Ferguson look like a walk in the proverbial part. Fifteen percent of the farmers will be leaving the business this year and this will leave America with a significant food shortage in a country where a quarter of the people are routinely hungry. Navy Seals are training for martial law and they have been told to view the public as their enemy. The Baltic Dry Index is going down faster than a submarine with screen doors. America will soon become Amerika. Everything you have known or have owned will soon change and/or be ripped from your grasp. The world is being turned upside down as we comfortably watch from our sofas. Meanwhile, the NFL playoffs are on this Sunday. Gerald Celente likes to say that when people lose everything, they lose it. We are about to witness the true meaning of these words. This Administration Has Been Preparing for Civil Unrest for Years Do you remember when DHS accumulated 2.2 billion rounds of ammunition as well as 27oo armored personnel carriers? Do you remember all the pictures, videos and related documents which showed Russians training at places like Fort Carson, or were training inside of DHS vehicles, or in the Smoky Mountains outside of Gatlinburg, TN? Do you remember the articles I have written about how Obama has compromised the defenses of Alaska, This picture and depicts Russian soldiers at Ft. Carson. The Russians and other foreign troops (e.g. Germans, Canadians, Danes) are part of Jade Helm. They are here to carry out the mission should American troops stand down. This picture and depicts Russian soldiers at Ft. Carson. The Russians and other foreign troops (e.g. Germans, Canadians, Danes) were part of Jade Helm. They are here to carry out the mission should American troops stand down. thus, making them vulnerable to being overrun by a Russian invasion. Do you remember how I detailed, in several articles how the Russians had a significant military presence at the North Pole and Obama has done nothing to negate any of this. I am certain that many of you recall how I predicted that Germany will one day leave NATO and turn to Germany. We are witnessing this in real time with each trade agreement Germany signs with Russia. What does it all mean? It means that America is about to get clobbered, first at home with serious civil unrest which will likely grow into revolutionary status. And later, China and Russia have been given all that they need by this administration to destroy America in a single day. If you wonder why America is not mentioned in the final days in Revelations, you may be witnessing the reasons why. Is Civil Disobedience, Or Revolution, America’s Only Viable Option? I certainly pray that widespread violence will not become the order of the day. While some of the 280+ command level officers fired by Obama are privately informing many of us in the media about the current state of affairs, they are not on the record. Other than self-preservation, the major reason why these former military commanders are not on the record is because some of them are reportedly involved in planning a guerrilla war against the occupation forces commanded by this administration under the auspices of DHS. One of my sources state that the coming civil war will be a guerrilla war and it will be prolonged. Another former General has told me that the American people do not have the stomach for guerrilla war and that majority of our people will lay down like sheep and be slaughtered. The latter point will be addressed in a future article. This article deals with an analysis of the means of forcible resistance, available to the American people, from which to resist the tyrannical takeover of the United States government by the banksters and their minions. What do you think? As you read the beginning of the article with a mention of all the grievances in the first few paragraphs, I can see how many think that major internal conflict is going to be visited upon this country, which will be followed by World War III with Russia and China. Conclusion The next article will address what kind of conflict will take place and what your likely role would be in this potential scenario. In the meantime, about all any of us can do is to pray for calm leadership and that peace will be maintained.

A Run On The Banks Begins In Italy As Italian Banking Stocks Collapse

January 21st, 2016

The Italian financial meltdown that we have been waiting for has finally arrived. For quite a long time I have been warning my readers to watch Italy, and now people are starting to understand why. Italian banking stocks continued their collapse for a fifth consecutive day on Wednesday, and nervous Italians are beginning to quietly pull large amounts of money out of the banks. In particular, Monte dei Paschi is a complete and utter basket case at this point. A staggering one-third of their loans are “non-performing”, and the stock price has fallen a staggering 57 percent since 2016 began. Monte dei Paschi is going to need a major bailout, and the same thing could be said about almost all of the largest Italian banks. But where is the money going to come from? As rumors of trouble at Monte dei Paschi spread, Italians are getting money out of the bank while they still can. The following comes from the Daily Mail… Some Monte dei Paschi customers have been pulling savings out of the Italian bank, its chief executive said on Wednesday, as it faces a crisis over a mountain of bad loans that has wiped nearly 60 percent off its market value this year. CEO Fabrizio Viola did not say how much money savers had withdrawn, or when the outflow began, though he said the fall in deposits was “limited” and that the bank could cope with it as he sought to reassure customers and investors. Italian bank shares have lost 24 percent since the beginning of 2016 as investors, already rattled about global economic growth, have sold out of a sector with low profitability and about 200 billion euros ($218 billion) of loans that are unlikely to be repaid. And investors are pulling money out of Italian banking stocks at an alarming pace as well. According to the Telegraph, Unicredit is down 27 percent since the start of 2016 and Monte dei Paschi has plunged a total of 57 percent so far this month… etc. and the news story continues..

German Jewish leaders: We are no longer safe here

BERLIN – The spokesman for Hamburg’s Jewish community, Daniel Killy, said deteriorating security in Germany has led to a highly dangerous situation for Jews. “No, we are no longer safe here,” Killy told the news outlet tagesschau.de on Tuesday. He said the disintegration of state power, excesses of the extreme right-wing, the loss of political credibility, and “the terrible fear of naming Islamism as such” have contributed to an insecure environment for Jews. Hamburg’s Jewish community has nearly 2,500 members. Germany has absorbed over one million refugees from mainly Muslim-majority countries. etc. and the news story continues..

Israel warms to Sunni powers, questions US' Palestinian focus

By Paul Alster Published January 21, 2016 FoxNews.com

Facebook Twitter livefyre Email

While the U.S. is pressing Israel to make peace with Palestinian leaders, it is missing the much bigger story of the Jewish State improving relations with several Muslim nations in the Middle East, according to a top Israeli official. Outlining the fast-developing relationship between Israel and other Sunni states in the region, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and Turkey, the official went beyond earlier comments by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and expressed Israel’s dismay at U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. “We have the chance now to make a coalition with Saudi Arabia, North African states, the Gulf States, and Turkey,” Ayoob Kara, Israel’s deputy minister for regional cooperation, told FoxNews.com. “We need the U.S. with us, but … they first want the Palestinians to become partners with Israel. We could be waiting another 50 years. Why do we have to wait?”

Atlanta • Months after the Supreme Court effectively legalized same-sex marriage, lawmakers across the U.S. are pushing bills that would give businesses and some public employees the right to refuse serving gay couples because of their religious beliefs. The American Civil Liberties Union opposes such bills and says variations have been proposed in 22 states — mostly by Republicans, though they aren't universally backed in the GOP. Top employers, including Delta Air Lines, Home Depot, Porsche and UPS in Georgia, warn the proposals are unwelcoming and bad for business. Even so, Georgia lawmakers have pressed on with a bill to allow business owners to refuse products or services for same-sex couples planning a wedding, and another that protects state employees who have religious objections to the marriages. Republican state Rep. Kevin Tanner, sponsor of a bill allowing bakers or other business owners to deny wedding-related services for gay couples, said he's not sure the measure has enough support to pass this year but called for a "non-emotional argument." "I don't think anyone really fundamentally wants to prohibit the free exercise of religion and the ability of people to raise their children and still be able to make a living just because they have a different belief system than someone who is their customer," he said. The odds of passage nationwide vary dramatically. Several bills are filed in states with legislatures dominated by Democrats or with a Democratic governor's veto standing in the way, such as Virginia. In Tennessee, lawmakers swiftly rejected a measure barring the state from abiding by the Supreme Court's gay marriage decision after legislative analysts projected it could jeopardize $8.5 billion in federal funding. Elsewhere, the measures have backing from top officials supported by conservative voters demanding a response to the Supreme Court ruling. In Kentucky — home to Kim Davis, the county clerk jailed when she refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples because of her religious beliefs — lawmakers have proposed a bill allowing clerks to remove their name from licenses. The bill matches an executive order issued by Republican Gov. Matt Bevin. Legal experts said any bills that become law are bound to be challenged in court. But how judges may rule depends on the specific issue. Alexander Volokh, an Emory University law professor, said courts may rule against exemptions for public employees. But laws covering private businesses in states without specific civil rights protections for gay residents could stand, he said. "Private individuals don't have any constitutional duty to participate in gay marriage," Volokh said. Charles Haynes, founding director of the Religious Freedom Center of the Newseum Institute, said states should be looking for ways to protect gay rights and religious belief, citing Utah's 2015 anti-discrimination law backed by the Mormon church and LGBT activists. The law protects LGBT residents from discrimination in housing and employment but makes exemptions for religious organizations and religious speech at work unless it harasses someone. "This should not be a zero-sum game where everybody wins on one side and everybody loses on the other," Haynes said. The divide isn't new in Georgia. The last two years included discussion of a bill forbidding government from infringing on religious beliefs without a compelling interest. The "Religious Freedom Restoration Act" from Republican state Sen. Josh McKoon remains in a House committee, where supporters tabled it last year following the addition of anti-discrimination language they said would gut the bill's purpose. McKoon frequently cites a student group accused of violating hazing policies with a foot-washing ceremony on a public college campus and a middle school student denied space at his public school to hold a religious student club. McKoon and other supporters say similar laws in other states have never been used to successfully defend discrimination, such as a baker or florist refusing to provide services for a same-sex wedding. Gay rights advocates remain concerned the religious freedom bill could act as a shield for such discrimination without a statewide civil rights law. More than 200 Georgia religious leaders opposed to McKoon's bill bought full-page ads in four newspapers this month that said: "Dangerous. Divisive. Bad for Georgia." Georgia's business community has forcefully opposed the measures. The Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce has warned that the state could lose $600 million or more in tourism dollars. In Indiana, opponents called for boycotts and protests after a religious freedom law passed last year. That provided a real-world example of the risk to Georgia, said Marshall Guest, vice president of business climate at the Atlanta chamber. "Indiana was the last state to really take up this issue in a meaningful way," Guest said. "It's hard to think we wouldn't face something similar here in Georgia."

Mass EVACUATION Mexico City on alert : One of world’s MOST DANGEROUS volcanoes threatens to BLOW : Is Mexico city doomed

on January 22, 2016

Posted In: earth changes, Natual disasters

THOUSANDS of people living by one of the world’s most dangerous volcanoes have been put on evacuation alert after the monster peak began spewing toxic gas and ash.

Tens of thousands of people live in the farming villages on the volcano’s flanks while roughly

25 million people live within a 60 mile radius. Historians tell us that Popocatepetl had a dramatic impact on the ancient Aztecs. After a huge eruption giant mud flows produced by massive eruptions covered entire Aztec cities. In fact, some of these mud flows were so large that they buried entire pyramids in super-heated mud. But we haven’t witnessed anything like that in any of our lifetimes, so it is hard to even imagine devastation of that magnitude. Mexico sits on the “Ring of Fire” that stretches along the outer rim of the Pacific Ocean. Over the past couple of years seismic activity throughout this area has started to really heat up, and according to Volcano Discovery there are dozens of volcanoes associated with the Ring of Fire that have recently erupted. That is why so many people are alarmed about the very unusual activity that we began to see from Popocatepetl starting in mid-September. The following is from a report that was posted on September 23rd… CENAPRED reported that during 16-22 September the seismic network at Popocatépetl recorded 15-89 daily emissions consisting of water vapor, gas, and sometimes ash; cloud cover often prevented visual observations. Variable nighttime or morning crater incandescence was observed most days, and 1-13 daily explosions were registered. In recent days, the activity at Popocatepetl seems to be getting stronger and more intense Mexico City is not in a particularly safe location. In addition to Popocatepetl, the city also sits in an area that is prone to experiencing earthquakes. One of these days we could see an event that could destroy much or all of Mexico City, and if that happened the entire economy of Mexico would immediately collapse and millions of refugees would start streaming north. So ultimately Popocatepetl is not just a Mexican problem. If a major eruption took place, it would quickly become a U.S. problem too. Thousands of people were placed on an evacuation warning this week The Popocatépetl volcano, just 35 miles from Mexico City and only 20 miles from nearby city Peubla sent a mile high plume of ash into the air, putting thousands of people living within 10 miles of it on a yellow alert to be ready to evacuate should activity increase. The Mexican capital is the world’s fourth most populated city and home to 20 million people, while Peubla has more than 6 million people living there, and all could be at risk in both cites in the event of a catastrophic eruption. The volcano alert follows fears earlier this month that a second large volcano in Mexico – the 3,850 metres-high Colima in western Mexico – could be about to face a large scale eruption for the first time in 100 years. Popocatépetl last saw a major eruption in 2000, but early warnings saw 41,000 people evacuated in advance, averting a major disaster. In 2005 it had a minor eruption, but activity has been increasing since 2012, with this week’s some of the most notable, prompting officials to issue the warning. If the volcano experienced a massive eruption, an estimated nine million people would be in the blast zone and the impact on the atmosphere could be catastrophic. Popocatépetl has erupted more than 20 times since 1519, according to records. The glacier-covered peak is 5,426 metres-high. Meanwhile Colima experienced a saw an ash cloud of 1.8 miles high expelled earlier this month. This also put locals on standby for evacuations immediately afterwards.

China Prepares Nuclear Strike Against US As America Rides Down The Road To Hell - Targets Could Include Biggest Cities On East And West Coast And 'Blast Waves That Could Vaporize Manhattan' And Well Beyond

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

In a note on a story that he linked to this morning on his website, Steve Quayle warned us: "BEFORE THE US IS DESTROYED BY NUKES, GOD WILL REVEAL THE SINS OF ITS LEADERS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE". Quayle further warned us: "IT'S HERE!" With the History News Network telling us days ago that the prospect of a nuclear war is about to become much more likely, we take a look in this story at a new warning that has come out that is leading experts to believe that China may be preparing nuclear strikes against the US as America rides down the road to hell as shared in the 2nd video below from Alex Jones and Infowars. Back in October of 2013, the Washington Times ran a story in which they told us that according to China's state-run media, China's nuclear submarines could launch massive attacks upon American cities as a means of 'counterbalancing US nuclear deterrence in the Pacific Ocean'. While we've made it through the past 2+ years since that story was written unscathed, a new warning has come out in the National Interest (as also shared by Pravda in the 1st video below) that China is now preparing nuclear strikes against America. The National Interest story is not an easy read and tells us the tale of 50 million+ dead Americans. The graphic at the top left from a 1963 story offering a hypothetical Department of Defense nuclear attack scenario against America, looked at now over 50 years later, finds the number of 50 million will likely be far greater if China goes through with this.: When one reads enough Chinese naval literature, diagrams of multi-axial cruise missile saturation attacks against aircraft carrier groups may begin to seem normal. However, one particular graphic from the October 2015 issue (p. 32) of the naval journal Naval & Merchant Ships  stands out as both unusual and singularly disturbing. It purports to map the impact of a Chinese intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) strike by twenty nuclear-armed rockets against the United States. Targets include the biggest cities on the East and West Coasts, as well as in the Midwest, as one would expect. Giant radiation plumes cover much of the country and the estimate in the caption holds that the strike would yield perhaps 50 million people killed [可能造成5000 万死亡]. The map below that graphic on the same page illustrates the optimal aim point for a hit on New York City with a blast wave [火风量] that vaporizes all of Manhattan and well beyond. Back in September of 2015, All News Pipeline told you about a bizarre video that came out from a Chinese tech giant showing a Chinese attack upon a US military base. A month and a half later on October 29th, Susan Duclos put out a story on ANP in which she told us about a warning that had gone out from China: "Prepare for the worst." Back in December of 2015 we published a story in which we shared the warning signs of a full-out nuclear war were growing daily while less than a week ago we told you of new warnings that Russia was preparing for nuclear war while the US was investing nearly a billion dollars more in chemical and biological warfare projects. Is an all-out nuclear war in America's future? Why is there so much preparation and propaganda coming from all sides involved that something may soon go nuclear? With the US and global economies now in freefall, is all of this what Gerald Celente meant when he said: "When all else fails, they take us to war"? From the Pravda Report.: Lyle Goldstein, Associate Professor in the China Maritime Studies Institute at the U.S. Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, claims in his article for the National Interest that China is ready to deliver a nuclear strike on the US territory. One particular graphic of the Chinese ballistic missile strikes by nuclear-armed rockets against the United States, published in the Naval & Merchant Ships counts for a lot! There are even marked the best points for a hit in New York, that would make the Chinese nuclear arsenal more effective. The Chinese Navy is also being developed on a long-term horizon and is being equipped with nuclear capabilities. This data, according to the National Interest, confirms that Beijing works on some of its far-sighted nuclear plans to become a reality one day. With economic collapse unfolding before our very eyes and possible nuclear war with China (and Russia/Iran?) on the horizon, in the 2nd video below from Infowars we're given the myriad number of reasons that America is quickly on the road to hell. As our own leaders, from Barack Obama to Hillary Clinton to Congress, literally embrace evil, as Steve Quayle warned, their sins are now being exposed to the American people. Alex Jones tells us that now the elite are finally coming out and telling us we're facing a massive financial situation and America's best days are over as a means to consolidate their control and further enslave the American people.

300 dead turtles found on a beach in Odisha, India: Locals astonished by sheer number!

It's been a bad start to the year for for marine wildlife around the world along with the 7 dead grey whales on the Mexican coast, 13 sperm whales died on the Dutch and German coast last week and 45 dead whales washed up on the Indian coast.... Probably more than 100,000 sea birds have died along the coast of Alaska and thousands of squid have washed up dead along the coast of Chile all after a report stating 70% of our sea birds and 75% of the worlds fish are now depleted: No fish left in our oceans by the year 2048 NOAA: More marine life carnage is being reported from Puri Beach, Odisha in India, as 300 Olive Ridley turtles have washed up dead along the popular beach, a bottlenose dolphin was also found dead... It's not unusual to find the occasional dead turtle this time of the year however the sheer number of turtle carcasses has astonished the locals. According to news reports, the forest and marine fisheries authorities have seized two trawlers for carrying out unauthorised fishing - despite a ban which was put in place due to the nesting season of the turtles. Collector of Puri, Arabind Agarwal, told the media that a report had been sought from the concerned agencies. He said: "This is unfortunate that a large number of Olive Ridley turtles died on the beach. It seemed that they were hit by trawlers."

'Mini-Tsunami' Strikes State Of Washington Along 'Ring Of Fire' - Two Massive 'Ring Of Fire' Volcanoes Erupt Simultaneously As 5 Planets Begin Alignment - Why Haven't We Heard About This From The Mainstream Media?

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

Despite the fact that our planet Earth is now going through massive changes, you'd likely not know a thing was going on besides a massive weather event unless you read local news websites or alternative news as we learned today of a 'mini-tsunami' that took place in the state of Washington (yes, right here in America!) as seen in the the 2nd video below. We also learned two of the largest and most deadly volcanoes in the world erupted simultaneously, and at the same time as 5 planets moved into alignment as shared by The Kev Baker Show in the 1st video below. Is it only a coincidence that these two deadly volcanoes in Russia and Indonesia have erupted simultaneously, and that it happened at the same time as 5 planets moving into alignment? As we learn in this story from EarthSky, the planets of Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars & Jupiter began an alignment on January 20th that will last for approximately a month. Is there more to this than we're being told? The mere fact that 'Joe Creek', where the Washington state mini-tsunami just occurred, sits on the same 'Ring of Fire' as the two volcanoes that recently erupted should clearly give one pause for concern. The fact that tsunami buoys in the Pacific Ocean are also simultaneously going into event mode causes more concern. From King 5 in Western Washington.: Ocean Shores firefighter Brian Ritter said he has never before seen the ocean behave the way it did that day. “Multiple people were rolled and injured by this very fast surge,” he said. “These waves pack huge logs and debris traveling at dangerous speeds, causing major traumatic injuries.” Ritter said people should pay attention to warnings and signage. "Stay off coastal beaches during high surf warnings," he said. "Watch from afar. Mother Nature is unforgiving." The Mount Egon volcano in Indonesia and the Zhupanovsky volcano in Russia, though far apart geographically, both sit on the 'Ring of Fire' and the eruptions have caused mass evacuations and shot hot ash five miles high into the sky we learn. Is this another sign we're about to witness something historical with a massive buildup of magma along the 'Ring of Fire' in preparation of something greater? These are truly historical times we are now living in etc. and the news story continues..

New issue of ISIS magazine Dabiq calls for war on . . . Muslims

Perry Chiaramonte

By Perry Chiaramonte Published January 21, 2016 FoxNews.com

The latest issue of Islamic State's online magazine targets the terror group's fellow Muslims even more than the West. Dabiq, as the English-language publication is called, devotes a majority of the 56 pages in the latest issue to justifying the killing of Shia Muslims. In numerous articles, the magazine goes to great lengths to give a theological basis for killing members of the minority Muslim sect that controls Iran and Iraq and has been at odds with Sunni Muslims for over a millennia. etc. “The magazine spends so much time justifying the killing of innocent Shiites that it suggests that ISIL is frustrated that too few Sunnis favor sectarian massacres,” Ryan Mauro, a national security analyst for the Clarion Project, said. “ISIS is making the argument because it sees a problem it needs to address.” ISIS' literary arm charges that Shia Muslims, or Shiites, qualify as apostates to the Sunni majority and therefore deserve to be killed. The radical terror group's target audience seems to be fel etc. and the news story continues..

NYPD Caves to Political Correctness

Agrees to impede investigations in potential terrorist cases.

January 11, 2016 Patrick Dunleavy

Thursday's announcement that the New York Police Department (NYPD) will settle a lawsuit filed by Muslim activist groups is unsettling and confounding. With Islamic terrorist acts on the rise globally and the FBI stating that it has as many as 900 open cases on individuals suspected of being ISIS operatives, it is beyond reason that NYPD would cave to the demands by a select group to impede investigations in potential terrorist cases. The department was accused of singling out the Muslim community for surveillance and undercover operations in a post 9/11 world, as if that was some sort of abnormal behavior by law enforcement. The original suit, brought by several Islamist activist organizations, included the Muslim Students Association and the Muslim Foundation, accused the NYPD of violating their civil rights through a program which including surveillance and intelligence gathering of the Muslim community in New Jersey. It was tossed by U.S. District Judge William J. Martini in February 2014. Then, the Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated the lawsuit last October. Now, in an attempt to placate a small, though noisy group of complainers, Mayor Bill De Blasio and Police Commissioner William Bratton have acquiesced to demands that the police treat with kid gloves a select community. Why? What specifically did the department do in investigating radical Islamist threats that differed from other criminal investigations that led to this surrender by city officials? Nothing! This decision by the mayor and the NYPD was made in the climate of political correctness rather than according to well-established law enforcement practices. Surveillance and undercover operations have long been effective tools in fighting crime. When police were investigating the Mafia and organized crime, for example, the Italian community was assessed, examined for structure and hierarchy and highly scrutinized. Similarly, when Colombian drug cartels were investigated for cocaine distribution, the Hispanic community was the focal point. If Islamic terrorists use local mosques to further their plotting of heinous acts, as in the case of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, then why should the Muslim community be exempt or require special procedural protocols by the police before investigating? etc.

God to Shut Down Federal Government

January 21, 2016

RUSH: Did anybody see the cover of the New York Post this morning? You did? I love it. The headline: "This Weekend Will Be Whiter Than the Oscars." Big snowstorm (laughing) -- not supposed to laugh, right? It sounds like a hate crime of some sort on the front page of the New York Post. Maybe another argument for global warming. Snow is racist. Anyway, the big news about all this is that the mayors of Washington, DC, and New York City and so forth, other officials, can't wait to be first to close schools. Big blizzard coming. So schools are gonna be shut down. And you know what else is going to shut down? The federal government is going to shut down. (gasping) Oh, no. Yes indeed, another government shutdown, this one brought to us by God. God must be a Republican, then. Well, it's an act of God, force majeure, this is an insurance language, something like this happens, they call it act of God. etc and the news story continues..

'It's too cold' Refugees would rather return home than face European winter

REFUGEES are abandoning their bids for asylum to return home after claiming Europe is too cold.

By Lizzie Stromme

PUBLISHED: 01:41, Sat, Jan 23, 2016 | UPDATED: 10:42, Sat, Jan 23, 2016

Almost 70 per cent of Iraqi asylum seekers have given up applications in Finland to go back to their war-torn country. One Iraqi who decided to return said Finland did not live up to the expectations. He said: "I don't know what happens to me in Iraq, but here I will die mentally." Figures from the Nordic country's immigration service revealed Finland processed 3,700 Iraqi asylum seeker decisions in 2015. Almost 2,600 of the decisions have now "expired", meaning the applicants have either cancelled the process or disappeared. Juha Simila, head of asylum department at the Finnish Immigration Service, said applicants were disillusioned by the processing time. He continued: "They have told us that family issues in their home country force them to go back. "Some have found the Finnish atmosphere hostile and some have not stayed because of the dark autumn and cold winter." Finland has seen a massive influx of refugees which has increased the immigration service's processing time. The number of asylum seekers jumped from 3,650 in 2014, to 32,500 in 2015. Nearly 20,500 Iraqis applied for an asylum, but authorities were only able to give decisions to 3,700. In October, Finland tightened its criteria for granting asylum to Iraqi migrants, after deciding the security situation had eased in certain regions.

Report: 2015 Saw ‘Most Violent’ Persecution of Christians in Modern History

January 20, 2016 mariomurilloministries by THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D. 20 Jan 2016

The brutal, worldwide persecution of Christians during the past year makes 2015 “the most violent and sustained attack on Christian faith in modern history,” according to a watchdog organization that has been monitoring Christian persecution for decades. Open Doors, an organization founded in 1955 to assist persecuted Christians, publishes an annual “World Watch List,” documenting attacks on Christians and ranking the most hostile national environments for believers. “The 2016 World Watch List documents an unprecedented escalation of violence against Christians, making this past year the most violent and sustained attack on Christian faith in modern history,” Open Doors CEO David Curry said at the rollout of the list. Persecution in “continuing to increase, intensify and spread across the globe,” he said. At the top of the Watch List, for the 14th consecutive year, stands North Korea, where an estimated 50,000 to 70,000 Christians are imprisoned in labor camps. Carrying on as one of the last holdouts of Communist totalitarianism, North Korea bears a particular hatred for Christians, who are a constant reminder of accountability to a higher power than the state. “Christianity is not only seen as ‘opium for the people’ as is normal for all communist states,” the report says. “It is also seen as deeply Western and despicable.” During 2015, thousands of Christians living in North Korea were forced to renounce their faith or flee under threat of death. As in the case with last year’s report, the vast majority of countries experiencing acute Christian persecution are Muslim nations. In 2015, nine out of the top ten countries where Christians suffer “extreme persecution” had populations that are at least 50 percent Muslim, a phenomenon replicated in 2016. The 2015 report found that “Islamic extremism is by far the most significant persecution engine” of Christians in the world today and that “40 of the 50 countries on the World Watch List are affected by this kind of persecution.” The 2016 list places Iraq in second place, immediately after North Korea, with horrific Islamic violence dominating news headlines during 2015. Throughout the year, Christians were forced to flee their homes by the thousands or be killed. Just this week, the United Nations released an extensive report on Islamic State violence in Iraq, and estimates that ISIS currently holds some 3,500 people, mostly women and children, in the country. The report, jointly issued by U.N. Assistance Mission for Iraq and U.N. human rights office in Geneva, declared ISIS atrocities in Iraq to be “war crimes, crimes against humanity, and possibly genocide.” Some of the crimes described in the report include executions by shooting, beheading, bulldozing, burning alive and throwing people off the top of buildings. The other nations making the top ten in Christian persecution are Eritrea, Afghanistan, Syria, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan, Iran, and Libya, all of which have Muslim majorities. The report underscores the geographical extent of Christian persecution, and Curry highlighted the global nature of the problem, noting that it has become more acute not just in a few isolated regions, but “in every continent in every country.” “The levels of exclusion, discrimination and violence against Christians is unprecedented, spreading and intensifying,” Curry added. “Christians, longing to stay in their home countries, are being forced to flee for their lives and for their children’s lives,” he said.

Mitch McConnell Moves To Grant The President Unlimited War Powers With No Expiration Date

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/22/2016 22:00 -0500  

Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labour. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent. – From George Orwell’s, 1984 This morning, I came across an extremely important story with tremendous long-term negative implications for freedom in these United States. It relates to the fact that the always shady Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is moving to fast track an Authorization of Military Force (AUMF) for the President that would allow for unrestricted warfare against ISIS. There would be no time or geographic restrictions on this authorization. Rather than being a favor to President Obama, this is primarily a means to ensure that whoever takes control in 2017 receives a blank check for unrestrained militarism with no expiration date. This is terrifying. Before I get into the issue at hand, some background is necessary. Many legal scholars, and indeed, even many members of Congress have admitted that Obama’s war against ISIS is illegal and unconstitutional. One of the best articles I’ve read on why this is the case, was published in the New York Times in 2014, which I covered in the post, Obama’s ISIS War is Not Only Illegal, it Makes George W. Bush Look Like a Constitutional Scholar. Here are a few excerpts: President Obama’s declaration of war against the terrorist group known as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria marks a decisive break in the American constitutional tradition. Nothing attempted by his predecessor, George W. Bush, remotely compares in imperial hubris. Mr. Bush gained explicit congressional consent for his invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. In contrast, the Obama administration has not even published a legal opinion attempting to justify the president’s assertion of unilateral war-making authority. This is because no serious opinion can be written. This became clear when White House officials briefed reporters before Mr. Obama’s speech to the nation on Wednesday evening. They said a war against ISIS was justified by Congress’s authorization of force against Al Qaeda after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and that no new approval was needed. But the 2001 authorization for the use of military force does not apply here. That resolution — scaled back from what Mr. Bush initially wanted — extended only to nations and organizations that “planned, authorized, committed or aided” the 9/11 attacks. Not only was ISIS created long after 2001, but Al Qaeda publicly disavowed it earlier this year. It is Al Qaeda’s competitor, not its affiliate. Mr. Obama may rightly be frustrated by gridlock in Washington, but his assault on the rule of law is a devastating setback for our constitutional order. His refusal even to ask the Justice Department to provide a formal legal pretext for the war on ISIS is astonishing. It’s been almost two years since that Op-ed was written, and Obama is still carrying out his illegal war on ISIS with barely a peep from our incredibly corrupt and useless Congress. Indeed, the only thing Congress is scheming to do is to ensure the next President receives a blank check for perpetual war. From the National Journal: Sen­ate Ma­jor­ity Lead­er Mitch Mc­Con­nell offered mem­bers a snow-week­end sur­prise late Wed­nes­day night: Quietly tee­ing up a po­ten­tial de­bate on the leg­al un­der­pin­ning for the fight against IS­IS. After months of wor­ry­ing that such a res­ol­u­tion—known as an au­thor­iz­a­tion for the use of mil­it­ary force—would tie the next pres­id­ent’s hands, Mc­Con­nell’s move to fast-track the meas­ure sur­prised even his top deputy, Sen­ate Ma­jor­ity Whip John Cornyn, who was un­aware that Mc­Con­nell had set up the au­thor­iz­a­tion. The AUMF put for­ward by Mc­Con­nell would not re­strict the pres­id­ent’s use of ground troops, nor have any lim­its re­lated to time or geo­graphy. Nor would it touch on the is­sue of what to do with the 2001 AUMF, which the Obama ad­min­is­tra­tion has used to at­tack IS­IS des­pite that au­thor­iz­a­tion’s in­struc­tions to use force against those who planned the 9/11 ter­ror­ist at­tacks. By con­trast, the leg­al au­thor­ity put for­ward by the ad­min­is­tra­tion last Feb­ru­ary wouldn’t au­thor­ize “en­dur­ing of­fens­ive ground com­bat op­er­a­tions” and would have ended three years after en­act­ment, un­less reau­thor­ized. Read that over and over and over until you get how incredibly dangerous it is. Don Stew­art, Mc­Con­nell’s spokes­man, said Thursday in an email that the new AUMF “is not the one the [p]res­id­ent asked for” and “not one that would tie the [p]res­id­ent’s hands.” Exactly. It’s not the one the President asked for, it’s far more aggressive and dangerous. Stew­art ad­ded that the pro­cess Mc­Con­nell used to set up the AUMF, known as “Rule XIV,” merely sets up the au­thor­iz­a­tion for a fu­ture vote, but does not put it on the cal­en­dar—mean­ing a vote could come at any time, or not at all. The res­ol­u­tion already has four Re­pub­lic­an co­spon­sors: Sens. Lind­sey Gra­ham, Daniel Coats, Joni Ernst, and Or­rin Hatch. If war monger Lindsey Graham is a co-sponsor you know for sure it’s an unmitigated disaster for liberty. Sen­ate For­eign Re­la­tions Chair­man Bob Cork­er said that there is still a “wide di­versity” of opin­ions on the is­sue. Some Demo­crats were crit­ic­al of even the pres­id­ent’s own draft AUMF, warn­ing that they’d need ad­di­tion­al re­stric­tions from the ad­min­is­tra­tion on troop levels and geo­graph­ic bound­ar­ies be­fore they could sup­port any au­thor­iz­a­tion. Re­pub­lic­ans, mean­while, wor­ried deeply about re­strict­ing the pres­id­ent as this ad­min­is­tra­tion, and the next one, work to com­bat IS­IS. “This is the right thing,” said Gra­ham, a co­spon­sor on the new AUMF res­ol­u­tion. “This is the right in­fra­struc­ture to have.” “If our Demo­crat­ic friends don’t want to give this pres­id­ent and oth­er pres­id­ents the abil­ity to go after IS­IS without lim­it­a­tion to geo­graphy, time and means—be on the re­cord,” he added. Indeed, I’d like to see every member of Congress go on the record as to the issue of perpetual war to fight an enemy created by our government’s own foreign policy and our “allies'” funding and armament. Kaine said that al­though he and the vast ma­jor­ity of Con­gress sup­port com­batting IS­IS, he dis­agrees with the ad­min­is­tra­tion that the pres­id­ent is with­in his au­thor­ity to do so. “I be­lieve the war is il­leg­al,” Kaine said Thursday. “I don’t think there’s a leg­al jus­ti­fic­a­tion for it. And I think the greatest danger we end up do­ing is al­low­ing the pres­id­ent to wage a war without Con­gress weigh­ing in.” Cornyn, who in Decem­ber said that Re­pub­lic­ans would not present an AUMF of their own un­til the pres­id­ent out­lined a strategy, said that he non­ethe­less wel­comed de­bate on the is­sue. “I don’t think we should be afraid of that de­bate, but we need a co­her­ent strategy from the pres­id­ent which we still don’t have and we also don’t need to tie the hands of the next pres­id­ent by re­strict­ing what the pres­id­ent can do,” Cornyn said. Sorry, but wasn’t the entire idea of a legislative branch to precisely restrict what the President can do. Congress is purely ceremonial at this point. What an utter embarrassment.

The Government Will Never Let It Happen!

Posted January 22nd, 2016 at 3:00 PM (CST) by Bill Holter & filed under Bill Holter.

Dear CIGAs, What a tangled web the global geopolitical situation has become. Geopolitics and finance have always been interrelated but recently much more so. As many readers know, I have speculated we would be hit over the head with a “truth bomb” from the East and most likely from Mr. Putin himself. Just this week Britain has alleged Mr. Putin personally ordered a “hit” on an ex KGB agent for calling him a pedophile http://nypost.com/2016/01/21/murdered-ex-spy-accused-putin-of-pedophilia/ . Another story came out that Turkey shot down a NATO helicopter which made no press coverage at all in the West. Also, Victoria Nuland recently travelled to Russia and was refused an audience by Mr. Putin. This, after John Kerry had a meeting where he went into it saying “Assad must go” and came out saying Mr. Assad can stay … Why all of this now? I would simply say this reeks of desperation and also a VERY dangerous strategy to attack Mr. Putin personally. I say “dangerous” because it raises the likelihood of a response from him. Can you imagine the outrage were Russia to accuse president Obama or the Prime Minister Cameron of Britain for ordering the murder of someone who called them a pedophile? Before going any further, I believe nearly ALL of what we are seeing is centered by and on the “petrodollar”. Will it survive or be replaced? In my opinion it is no longer “if”, but “when” and by “what” will it be replaced with? Just over the last two weeks we have seen three very important yet interrelated events. First, the sanctions against Iran in place over the last 35 years were lifted. Along with this comes the ability for Iran to sell oil and they will now have access to up to $150 billion worth of assets and accounts previously frozen as reported by many credible non-government sources. The day after, we saw 10 U.S. captured sailors on their knees as they were said to have “strayed” into Iranian water. The official U.S. account has changed at least twice. We heard “mechanical failure” at first, this is unlikely as there were reportedly two separate vessels. If one had mechanical problems, the other could have tied off and either towed it or held it steady until help could arrive. Then the story changed to “navigational” problems. This one I believe …but not the official story they “strayed” into Iranian water. Again, if it was just one boat, maybe their navigation system malfunctioned …at the same time their communications failed …MAYBE? But both boats …at the same time lost their comm and navigation systems? Probably a better chance one of these sailors winning the Powerball lottery two weeks in a row! Speculation on my part, I believe the electronics were somehow hacked or blocked just as happened with the Donald Cook in the Black Sea in late 2014. Just a couple of days ago, President Xi of China met with Iranian leaders one day and then the Saudis the following day. We can only speculate what was discussed but surely oil was the centerpiece. Naturally China wants to make and diversify oil supply deals from them both. We have no proof but I believe it is a very good bet President Xi told the Saudis they would be expected to accept yuan for settlement instead of dollars. There is no denying, the Chinese have done everything in their power to prepare for the dollar being dumped as the world’s reserve currency. You can argue about timing, you cannot argue about “intent” as China/Russia have set up non Western clearing facilities similar to SWIFT but without any Western interference, trade deals, currency hubs, trading banks, and even gold and oil exchanges where the dollar will not be welcome. This is not tough to tie all of this together. I ask you this, what would the world look like the day following a “truth bomb” dropped by Mr. Putin and the Chinese. Would Americans even notice if he documented several false flags or frauds embedded in U.S. finance such as outright monetization of U.S Treasuries? No, most certainly not. Americans would however notice if financial markets collapsed or were shut down. Russia and China know full well the situation in the West. It is a bankruptcy waiting to happen as everything is fractional reserve and running on maximum margin while the underlying system is shrinking and no longer supplying enough liquidity. The way I see it, the stage is truly set for a financial attack on anything and everything American. Is it implausible for the Saudis to announce they will sell oil in yuan to China? Or Iran to withdraw their funds from U.S. institutions and then bid for gold with these funds? If the East does in fact have jamming or hacking capability of Western technology, is it far fetched for them to show it very publicly in one or several situations? How would the “bookies” react if they saw a prize fighter enter one of the later rounds with his hands tied behind his back? You can laugh at the above speculation if you choose but it is all quite plausible and actually probable if you look at where things are and what posturing has already been done leading up to this. Western markets, ALL markets are a fraud. Our Treasury market is one where the biggest buyer is “our self” …the Fed and the ESF. We have already seen $1 trillion of foreign reserves offloaded with no effect on yield nor the dollar itself and NO ACCOUNTING ANYWHERE as to “who” bought these offloaded central bank reserves. Accounting fraud and no rule of law here, nothing to see …please move along! You can laugh if you want and say Saudi Arabia will never move toward the East … Saudi Arabia is now in very dire straits financially, who do you think they will side with when Western markets melt down? Do you really believe they will go down trying to support our dollar? The stage has already been set. The East knows the West has bankrupted. They know we have no gold left because they have it! They can see the finances of the various cities, states and federal government. They know the situation in derivatives is one giant mountain of dynamite waiting for a spark. They know our rule of law is gone and bail ins of depositor funds is next. We are monetizing their sales of Treasury securities. “We” are fooling no one except ourselves. And by “ourselves” I am talking about the vast majority of the population who have grown to rely on the government for everything. Everyone knows we are broke, yet ask anyone and the odds highly favor you will hear “the government will never let it happen”. Even if you are silly enough to believe this you must ask yourself, what are the ramifications when markets become “make believe”?

Russians’ Anxiety Swells as Oil Prices Collapse

By NEIL MacFARQUHARJAN. 22, 2016

KRASNODAR, Russia — Last year was bad enough financially for Sergei and Victoria Titov, both music teachers getting along in years. Her government salary was slashed by one third, and rampant inflation put some basic groceries like eggplant and cucumbers out of reach. Then came Jan. 1, and the abrupt decision by the regional government here in Krasnodar, the capital of Russia’s southern agricultural heartland, to chop transportation subsidies for older Russians, forcing the couple to limit their trolley rides. Indignant and fearing worse amid Russia’s accelerating economic problems, Sergei joined an unauthorized demonstration last week by hundreds of older Russians who gathered under the bronze statue of a Cossack horseman on the main square here and chanted, “Return our benefits!” They were not alone, neither in Krasnodar nor across this vast nation, where illegal protests and wildcat strikes are erupting with increasing frequency by truckers, teachers, factory workers and all sorts of Russians facing steep government cutbacks because of plummeting revenue from oil and gas. The global collapse in oil prices is reordering economic relations around the world, but the change is particularly daunting for Russia, which relies on energy exports for 50 percent of its federal budget. In December, President Vladimir V. Putin told the nation that the worst of the recession — the economy shrank 3.9 percent and inflation hit 12.9 percent in 2015 — was over and that modest growth would return in 2016. He has been pushing the oil collapse as an “opportunity” that will wean Russia off energy imports and diversify the economy. Then in January oil fell below $30 per barrel, with no bottom in sight, and the ruble hit a record low of nearly 85 to the dollar before recovering slightly. The last time oil prices dropped so low and stayed there, in the 1980s, the Soviet Union disintegrated. Steadily rising prices since 2000 have lifted Russia out of poverty and economic chaos, buoying the prosperity of many Russians with it. Mr. Putin was lucky enough to be president for much of that period, but he now faces an extended decline, with real incomes shrinking. With the federal budget approved in December based on oil at $50 a barrel, Anton Siluanov, the finance minister, announced that the country faced a budget deficit of about $40 billion, and ministries were ordered to cut spending 10 percent. Budgets were similarly guillotined last year. In Krasnodar, Mr. Titov, 64, braced for harder times. “I do not know what they will cut, but I know it will affect us,” he said. “We are watching all this with alarm. It is clear that the government lacks the necessary resources to give us a normal life.” In Krasnodar, a city of about 800,000 people, retirees register a kind of sticker shock when discussing food prices, yelling out items as they remember newly high prices. “Apples!” one shouted, noting that the cost had nearly doubled. Then “Zucchini!” Then “Smoked sausages!” Food prices rose 20 percent last year, according to official statistics, but often Russians say their grocery tab is up by a third or more, thanks in part to sanctions Moscow slapped on Western food imports in retaliation for sanctions the West imposed over Ukraine. Sergei Galustian, 65, a retired police officer, lives on a downtown street with just 27 houses, their proximity making it easy to assess change. “Nobody is starving yet, but incomes are definitely down,” he said, noting that homes are colder, that neighbors turn on just two lamps after dark where they once used five and that people have stopped buying new clothes. Retail sales across Russia were down by 13.1 percent for the year ending in November, according to official statistics, with car sales off nearly 40 percent. The 100 or so workers at the giant Seydin Machine Tool Factory, once the pride of the city during the Soviet era, have not seen a paycheck for a year and recently received layoff notices. They, too, have on occasion gathered in the main square to demand their back pay. The workers “have to take to the streets!” they wrote in an open letter to Mr. Putin. In a tradition dating from Soviet times, most firms, and especially state-run companies, tend to cut hours or stop paying salaries rather than fire people to diminish the chances for social unrest. In Moscow on Wednesday, about 15 employees of Sbarro, the pizza chain based in Ohio, stood in the brutal cold outside one franchise holding signs saying, “Give us our money.” Several said they had not been paid for at least three months. “They just tell us they have problems,” said Sergei Yudichev, 50, a driver for the chain for more than two years. Albeit poorer, Russia remains a petro state, so there are pockets of plenty. Rolls-Royce reported a 5 percent jump in sales last year, the rich splurging as the value of their assets nose-dived. Others just seemed oblivious. Moscow’s City Hall advertised for tenders for its banquets, noting that menu items should include foie gras and Parma ham (which is banned elsewhere in Russia because of sanctions). Social media erupted in mocking resentment. One Russian quoted a famous line by the Russian poet Vladimir Mayakovski from the 1917 revolution, “Eat pineapples, munch your grouse!” and left unstated the second line, “Your last day is coming, bourgeois!” Russia pumped record amounts of oil last year, nearly 11 million barrels per day, but that pace will not save it in the current global glut. The main government strategy so far seems to be to cut spending and to rely on its reserves until oil prices improve. Russia has around $360 billion in foreign currency reserves and some $120 billion in two rainy day funds, down from just under $160 billion a year ago. At current spending rates, however, the two funds are expected to last only 18 months. It might also sell significant stakes in state-run companies like the oil giant Rosneft or Sberbank, and it will not increase military spending. Mr. Titov, a veteran organizer for the Communist Party, said he felt the economic problems were contributing to a corrosive sense of drift. “Russia always lived with some manner of national idea, a goal: We were building socialism and communism,” he said. “But there is no national idea. Now, we just go with the flow and it is not clear in what direction.” Russian involvement in wars in Ukraine and Syria has swelled the general whirlpool of anxiety, with the possibility of a global war discussed on state-run television. Some analysts accuse the Kremlin of deliberately seeking overseas adventures to distract people from domestic economic woes. “People are more alarmed and more tense, because now we are speaking not only about their well-being, but their lives in general,” said Valery Fedorov, director general of the government-owned Russia Public Opinion Research Center, known by its Russian initials, Vciom. Many analysts expect people to do what Russians always do in hard times — hunker down, tend to their vegetable plots and wait it out. Others say that Russians have gotten used to a higher standard of living and that they will protest losing it. The government allows street protests over issues like lost wages, but its distinctly authoritarian edge emerges in the face of political action. So far, local governments have reacted lightly to the protests. The governor of the Krasnodar Region restored transportation passes for the older Russians receiving the lowest pensions. Some residents, like Mr. Titov, groused that the wealth was being wasted on prestige projects rather than helping ordinary people. Still, he does not expect Russians to sour on Mr. Putin any time soon. In nearby Sochi, Russia spent around $50 billion to host the 2014 Winter Olympics, and a similar construction juggernaut is building stadiums nationwide for the 2018 World Cup. “The Russian people got what they wanted, a czar ruling the country,” he said of Mr. Putin. “What we need is an effective manager, but what we got is the Olympics, soccer and war.”

Chaos Reigns In A Nation Of Unprepared Ahead Of Winter Storm Jonas - What Is Going To Happen When REAL Disaster Strikes? By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

When I first read that in 2010 Frank Gaffney, president of the Center for Security Policy, stated that should America be hit with an EMP attack that "nine out of 10 Americans would be dead, because we can’t support a population of the present size in urban centers and the like without electricity," I thought those numbers had to be exaggerated, but in watching the chaos of the last couple of days as people in multiple states prepare for Winter storm Jonas, I now think Gaffney's numbers may actually be an understatement. AMERICA THE PAST VERSUS AMERICA NOW In discussing the idea for this piece, Stefan Stanford sent me over an article which perfectly captures what we have been noticing as we browse the Internet for news and see the utter chaos that a Winter storm is causing in urban areas, we cannot help but to remember how things used to be and compare them to how they are now.... we have changed as a society, and not for the better. Via US Defense Watch: We are no longer the United States of the Minutemen, the Cowboy, The Boys of Pointe Du Hoc, the Mountain Men and Merrill’s Marauders. Where is the America of Jim Bowie, Jedediah Smith, Wyatt Earp, George Patton, Chesty Puller, Teddy Roosevelt, Molly Pitcher, Rosie the Riveter and millions of anonymous, tough, brave, resourceful heroes who built this great country? America of 2016 is the nation of overweight kids, soccer moms, socialist public school administrators who ban dodge ball, metrosexual men; transgender TV stars, helicopter parents and college kids who need safe spaces with Play Doh. Many of us above a certain age remember that one (or two) elderly family member that used to speak about how they used to have to walk to school in two feet of snow after waking up at 5am to get their chores done, when lecturing us on how easy we have it compared to how they had it growing up... well, they were right and it has gotten worse. A TALE OF TWO WORLDS A look through the images left over at the Twitter hashtag #snowmaggedon2016, we see example after example of unprepared cities, states and residents, not only empty stores shelves but total chaos is reigning..... over a weather event! DC area schools actually closed on Thursday, do to snow, after only one inch had dropped. Traffic snarled with people ditching their cars after being stuck for five hours. Panicked shoppers ransacked grocery stores leaving shelves barren and empty. While schools closed in urban areas on Thursday due to a simple one inch of snow, in Western Maryland where we live, we just saw the school bus pass by, on the day where the worst of the snow is expected to fall by evening time.... because it is a whole different world in the rural areas where people prepare before the Winter season hits, store shelves are still stocked because there is no "panic" shopping, it is more like picking up a couple extras, where last minute preparations consist of checking your generator, moving wood for the fireplace indoors so one does haven't to be out in possible blizzard conditions, pulling out the warm blankets just in case the lights go out, etc..... Having spent the majority of my life living in or around big cities, living out here is like living in a completely different world, one where should a true disaster strike, Gaffney's numbers would be reveresed, nine out of ten here... would survive in my opinion. Considering that 80 percent of the U.S. population live in big cities or urban areas, we are talking about tens of millions of people who would not survive a major, catastrophic disaster. WHAT WE ARE WATCHING IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHY PEOPLE SHOULD PREP Winter storm Jonas should be a lesson to everyone watching the news and seeing the images over the last couple of days. The lesson being, we should all be preparing for the worst because as I have mentioned, this is just a weather event, one that was forecasted days in advance and we are still still seeing complete disarray. What are these "panic" shoppers, these stranded motorists, these folks running around at the last minute to prepare themselves for a harsh storm when they should have had all their supplies before the season started, going to do if true disaster strikes with no warning, whether it is a terrorist attack, a weather event, an EMP or any other number of major catastrophes that could hit? The answer to that, to put it bluntly, is they are going to die.. because we have become a nation of unprepared wimps. Note - If you are new to ANP and are reading this and are one of those people that have been on the fence about prepping, this should be a wake up call.... start now because if you are prepared for the worst, everything else is just a minor inconvenience.

New York travel ban lifted, Washington at standstill after storm

Jan 24, 2016 - 19:50

NEW YORK/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - New York lifted a travel ban and mass transit started getting back to normal on Sunday after a record-setting blizzard in the U.S. Northeast, but Washington remained at a standstill following storms that killed at least 19 people across the country. The blizzard was the second-biggest snowstorm in New York City history, with 26.8 inches (68 cm) of snow in Central Park by midnight on Saturday, just shy of the record 26.9 inches (68 cm) set in 2006, the National Weather Service said. Thirteen people were killed in weather-related car crashes in Arkansas, North Carolina, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee and Virginia on Saturday. One person died in Maryland and three in New York while shovelling snow. Two died of hypothermia in Virginia, officials said. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said Sunday would be a major cleanup day. He urged residents to stay off streets so city crews could clear roads. “The snow pile is going to be with us for a while, but I think we'll be in good shape in the next 24 hours," he said on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopolous." etc. and the news story continues.

REPORT: Locals Fled Pool After Migrants Masturbated Into Jacuzzi, Defecated Into Kid’s Pool, Invaded Girls Changing Rooms

by Oliver Lane22 Jan 20167321

A German swimming bath has banned migrants from entering the premises after a group of men went on an obscene rampage, laughing in the faces of pool staff when challenged about their grotesque behaviour. A group of migrant men and women were caught on security camera at the Johannisbad baths in Zwickau, Saxony engaging in unacceptable behaviour, including masturbating into the jacuzzi. In separate incidents other groups of migrants were caught “contaminating” the children’t training pool by “emptying their bowels in the water”, and sexually assaulting other bathers, reports Bild. The allegations against the migrant bathers has come to light thanks to a leaked internal letter from the Zwickau Town Hall, between the chief clerk to his department head, reproduced in part by German tabloid Bild. Writing of the historic swimming pool’s decision to close their doors to migrants until further notice, Rainer Kallweit wrote this week of a shocking incident which has left the baths abandoned by local swimmers. In his report, the authenticity of which has since been confirmed by the city administration Mr. Kallweit wrote the shocking words: “An asylum seeker has masturbated in the hot tub and ejaculated into the basin. This is also recorded on the surveillance camera”. He wrote that the group desecrating the jacuzzi, having been thrown out by the lifeguards later returned took “selfies” of themselves while they were in the tub, “jeering” the whole time. Writing of another pool under his jurisdiction in the down of Zwickau, the town employee continued to say a group of “young unaccompanied women and children” used the children’s training pool, as none of the party could swim. He wrote, in classic civil servants language they “contaminated the pool by getting rid of the contents of their intestines. Native people immediately left the pool”. This was not the only assault on the pool. The day before, wrote Mr. Wallweit “8 foreign men … in the sauna” harassed locals, forcing pool staff to pretend the Sauna was out of action when enquiries were made my migrant men, if there were at that time local women using it. He told his superiors: “furthermore, the lifeguards have to protect women and girls from the asylum seekers. Young men wanted to forcibly penetrate the female changing room”. Police are now investigating the allegations, and in future will be called immediately in case of such behaviour. etc. and the news story continues..

Conflict in Syria Escalates as Russia and US Establish Air Bases Along Turkish Border

Significant developments ahead of peace talks scheduled next week in Geneva

Kurt Nimmo | Infowars.com - January 23, 2016

Russia and Turkey are preparing for a military confrontation along Syria’s border with Turkey. According to intelligence sources in the United States, Russia has dispatched engineers to the northeastern city of Qamishli on the border. In late October, according to Syria Direct, the Qamishli International Airport was closed to civilian air traffic and turned over to the Syrian military. On Friday the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights quoted sources in Syria as saying 200 Russian personnel will fortify the airfield in Qamishli and ready it for military aircraft. The Turkish newspaper Hurriyet also reported the presence of Russian engineers. Also on Friday The Australian reported the US has established a secret airbase 30 miles outside of Qamishli. Syrian activists reported several dozen US military personnel are busy setting up a base at a former agricultural airfield a few miles from the Iraqi and Turkish borders. “The airfield has been reconstructed and now has one airstrip for the American helicopters and a command centre,” Abu Jad Haskawi, a Syrian activist based in the nearby town of Hasakah, told the newspaper. Turkey is currently busy preparing the border in preparation for a military operation against Kurdish forces in Syria. Ankara says it is stepping up maneuvers against the Islamic State, but this appears to be a cover for a strike against the Kurds. In recent months evidence has emerged showing Turkish support for IS. Turkey has long considered Kurdish militias terrorists. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has stated his country believes various Kurdish factions in Syria and Turkey are equal to the danger posed by ISIS. etc. and the news story continues..

Why Is The Fox Network Spending Millions To Bring The Devil Into Your Home?

The Fox network wants you to think of them as the "family channel", and they don't want you to dwell on the fact that they spend millions producing books, television and movies that glorify the Devil, promote the homosexual lifestyle, and trash biblical Christianity. That makes them by definition both anti-family and anti-Christian. Fox Network offering up a variety of pro-Satanic and LGBT-friendly publishing and programming “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7 (KJV) Since it’s inception, the Fox network has portrayed itself as the home of conservatism and family values. But a closer look shows a completely different picture. In fact, they are doubling down on pro-Satanic and horror programming. Last week, we told you about the Fox network’s new marquee show called “Lucifer“, a show about a cool, “hot looking” Devil who drives a Corvette and owns a nightclub. Today we find out that they are also prepping a new series based on the Exorcist. The drama is a modern reinvention of William Peter Blatty’s bestselling 1971 book, The Exorcist. The project is described as “a propulsive, serialized psychological thriller following two very different men tackling one family’s case of horrifying demonic possession, and confronting the face of true evil.” If this wasn’t bad enough, the rabbit hole goes deeper. A lot deeper. Rupert Murdoch’s media conglomerate News Corp. owns the publisher HarperCollins. HarperCollins bought Christian publisher Zondervan. Zondervan says that they are the largest publisher of Bibles in the world, including the Laodicean fanboy favorite the NIV “bible”. THE KING JAMES AV 1611 BIBLE VS. THE NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION HarperCollins then bought Thomas Nelson Publishing, the largest general publisher of Christian material in the world. Combined they represent nearly half of all Christian reading material on the face of the earth. Let that thought sink in. Rupert Murdoch with the Fox Network owns and controls half of all the world’s Christian publishing. Now for the other shoe. Rupert Murdoch’s empire also owns a company called Avon that publishes and promotes Anton Lavey’s book The Satanic Bible. Now do you see why they are pushing all this Satanic programming on their television network? It’s a full court press to make you comfortable with the Devil. They want you to think that the Devil is a joke and that Hell is not a real place. But it is. When viewed in total, you can clearly see an organized effort by Rupert Murdoch to to use his wealth, influence and power to constantly push a pro-Satanic and pro-LGBT agenda. Rupert Murdoch’s HarperCollins is also the publisher of ‘The Joy of Gay Sex’ and titles by anti-Christian author Richard Dawkins. “And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.” Luke 13:32 (KJV) The Fox network wants you to think of them as the “family channel”, and they don’t want you to dwell on the fact that they spend millions producing books, television and movies that glorify the Devil, promote the homosexual lifestyle, and trash biblical Christianity. That makes them by definition both anti-family and anti-Christian. It’s time to dump the Fox.

Chinese Military Hacks the VA Records of 21 Million Vets In Preparation for Martial Law

24 Jan, 2016 by Dave Hodges

We already know that the United Nations is preparing to seize your guns. Will the Chinese military be the vanguard force in the effort to seize American guns? A very simple dot connecting exercise would suggest that will be the case. Interestingly, in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook event, the Communist Chinese called for more strict controls over American guns. What? Why would the most repressive regime on the planet, the Communist Chinese, care about gun control in America? Because an emerging set of developments would indicate that the Chinese are going to be spearheading, along with the Russians, gun confiscation on American soil as part of an global martial law force. And since the Chinese military has such a heinous reputation, one can assume that they will be carrying out gun confiscation with extreme prejudice. The DoD/VA Records of 21 Million Veterans Have Been Hacked by the Chinese Military I have been the beneficiary of four reports of various lengths and detail regarding the Chinese hacking all records related to 21 million veterans in the Veterans Administration. An insider source states that the DoD knows that the attacks are definitely of Chinese military origin. The stunning detail which captured my attention has to do with the fact that the INDIVIDUAL RECORDS OF OVER 21 MILLION VETERANS HAVE BEEN ACCESSED. I have good friends who are sitting on this information until some news aggregate source or reporter is willing to come forward. I received the first report almost 72 hours ago. I have decided to go forward with what I know. The Original Report Less than 72 hours ago, I was contacted by Paul Martin of Revolution Radio. Paul reported the hacking of the VA and said the Chinese were behind it. Within 30 minutes of Paul’s report, I was contacted by a colleague of Paul’s who had an identical story with the same message, same details and naming the Chinese military as the culprit. I am withholding the name of the second source, a person who I do know, because he has requested anonymity so he can maintain the open source of information. The source is a government employee with access to national security information. At this point, I knew had a trail of smoke, however, I did not feel that there was enough data to come forward with this. I set about going from source to source and largely came up empty. On Saturday morning I hit pay dirt. My best contact had an inside source contact me who had a great deal of this picture. The deep cover source stated that the Chinese military was behind the data hack of individual veterans records. The source also stated that the operating hypothesis was that the Chinese military wanted to know who to target first in a martial law takeover which had gun confiscation as a primary goal. Of course any invading force would seek to disarm veterans because they could form the backbone for any meaningful resistance effort. The source also stated that rogue elements of the DHS were believed to have provided the Chinese military with the back door necessary to access these records. The use of DHS as the treasonous conduit makes so much sense. Doesn’t this remind you of the story related to the Bolshevik Revolution who ordered the soldiers of the former regime to turn in their guns and they would be left alone? Then as Russian veterans turned in their guns, they were executed. Who will ever forget when it was revealed that the DHS had acquired 2.2 billion rounds of ammunition. Who were they preparing to fight? They certainly were not going to Afghanistan. And when one considered the DHS inspired MIAC Report, it was crystal clear that the new enemies of the state were now domestic instead of Middle Eastern (e.g. Ron Paul supporters, Libertarians, Second Amendment supporters, Constitutionalists, etc). Irrefutable Proof: Chinese Are Here On American Soil In 2013, I revealed that our potential military enemy, the Chinese, were invited to the 2013 Grid Ex Drills to participate in a drill which simulated an EMP take down of the American power grid. This treasonous action, orchestrated by Obama, gave the Chinese unbridled access to the knowledge of the American grid to such a degree, that they could carry out such an attack with a reasonable expectation of success. However, the presence of Chinese troops, with Obama’s approval at a highly secure national security event, is not the main story. The main story is that the Obama administration is allowing Chinese troops on American soil. During the BLM/Bundy ranch affair back in 2014, it was clearly established through BLM documents and statements made by Nevada Senator, Harry Reid (NV-R) was complicit in the establishment of solar energy zones in which a Chinese front company was given US approval to run solar energy zones on American soil and the BLM lands were the main conduits for this activity. But bundy ranch wait, there’s more! Everyone of the Solar Energy Zones were near a major transportation corridor and a nearby military base (e.g. Nellis and Luke AFB). This was a very telling event, because if the American military ever needed to be subjugated, in preparation for foreign troop controlled martial law and gun confiscation, this was a brilliant plan. And now, with the Alex Jones revelation of a global martial law force, under the command of NATO, some of the BLM confrontations make more sense when we apply the lens of history and connect some known dots. Prior to the Bundy Affair, I wrote these words in 2013, the year before the BLM standoff: “The Chinese are on American soil for one reason, they are being integrated into an international “peacekeeping force”, formerly known as the RIMPAC war games, which will eventually be controlled by the United Nations. This is where the formal integration of American-based Chinese military forces into an international “peace keeping force” will become official…. This will mark the first time that the communist regime, that is responsible for murdering more innocent people than any other country in human history…” With regard to the original Bundy standoff at their ranch, I wrote in 2014 ” I have come across a Bureau of Land Management Policy Manual which spells out what is happening to Bundy and why…” The whole Bundy Affair was about establishing a significant Chinese military presence on US soil. ‘ Alex Jones, 48 hours ago, connected the final dot. As if this is not enough, please consider the following with regard to the intentions of the United Nations to seize American guns with extreme prejudice. According to the UN’s own disarmament website, a “regional instrument that aims to curtail small arms ownership and illicit trafficking in Southern Africa along with the destruction of surplus state weapons. It is a far-reaching instrument, which goes beyond that of a politically binding declaration, providing the region with a legal basis upon which to deal with both the legal and the illicit trade in firearms.” The UN is calling for the use of foreign troops to seize guns in member countries. We know now that the international global martial law force is headed up by NATO. However, the hired guns will be Chinese. Do remember when the remake of the movie Red Dawn was in the works and the D0D had a fit because the invading military force was Chinese? The movie producers acquiesced and changed the invading force to North Korean. I think the recent set of events put this move rewrite into perspective. If one wants to read how the Chinese military has been embedded, with Obama administration complicity, please read the article I wrote on April 13, 2014. In this article, I predicted what is happening today, simply because it was already in federal government documents. Conclusion It very likely that within the week, more revelations will begin to surface regarding the data breach of the veterans. It is important to remember that the VA stores data on gun ownership for individual veterans as the VA routinely sends out “surrender your guns letter” because you (the veteran) suffers from mental illness, usually PTSD. It is also clear after reading this article, that the Chinese expect that the majority of veterans will be disarmed prior to their martial law occupation forces are brought into play. My advice to the veterans, you have all “lost” your guns and are not able to turn them in.

Second Navy Combat Ship Goes Down Because Someone Forgot To Check The Oil

Jonah Bennett Reporter 2:52 PM 01/22/2016

The USS Fort Worth, a Navy littoral combat ship, has suffered extensive gear damage while docked at a port in Singapore. The Navy is blaming the incident on a crew error. According to reports, the crew failed to use sufficient lube oil, leading to excessively high temperatures on the gears. Debris also found its way into the lubrication system, which also contributed to failure, Defense News reports. The crew did not follow standard operating procedures. Immediately following the incident, ship repair experts arrived on the scene to assess the damage. Until the investigation wraps up, the ship will remain at the Changi Naval Base in Singapore. “We have the right resources in place to conduct the necessary inspections, determine the extent of the damage and required repairs, and return Fort Worth back to operational status,” Lt. Cmdr. Matt Knight, a spokesman for the US Pacific Fleet, told Defense News. “USS Fort Worth has been a model of reliability for more than one year while deployed in the US 7th Fleet. We are working diligently to minimize the operational impact of this maintenance casualty.” etc. and the news story continues..

Islamic scholar ‘says Allah allows Muslim men to RAPE non-Muslim women to humiliate them'

AN ISLAMIC professor has allegedly claimed Muslim men are allowed by Allah to rape non-Muslim women in order to “humiliate” them.

By Jake Burman PUBLISHED: 04:58, Tue, Jan 19, 2016 | UPDATED: 10:36, Wed, Jan 20, 2016

Professor Saud Saleh – from Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt – reportedly said rape is allowed between times of “legitimate war” between Muslims and their enemies. In a television interview Saleh appears to try to discourage the purchase of slaves from Asian countries for sex, claiming Allah has given Muslim men a “legitimate” way to have sexual relations with slave women. The controversial professor allegedly said slavery existed before Islam and anyone could trade “freeborn men and women” but that Islam put slavery “into order” by regulating when it was allowed. It is believed she claimed the only “legitimately owned slaves come from among prisoners from a war”. Saleh allegedly said: “The female prisoners of wars are ‘those whom you own’. “In order to humiliate them, they become the property of the army commander, or of a Muslim, and he can have sex with them just like he has sex with his wives.” Dr Andrew Holt, professor of history at Florida State College, said Saleh’s alleged comments are disheartening coming from a professor from “Sunni Islam’s most prestigious university” which is more than 1,000 years old. He is concerned the statements could be viewed as approval for the enslavement of Yazidi women by barbaric ISIS - also known as Daesh. Dr Holt explained how the fanatical death cult detailed that pagan women should be enslaved in its propaganda magazine Dabiq. He said: “According to ISIS, the practice of forcing the Yazidis and other religious minorities into sexual slavery is a way to prevent the sin of premarital sex or adultery, as well as a sign that the Final Battle will soon occur. “In the fourth issue of Dabiq, an article titled ‘The Revival of Slavery before the Hour’ explains that polytheist and pagan women can and should be enslaved.”etc. and the news story continues..

This Is What Could Happen If Zika Virus Spreads In The US

By Rhodi Lee, Tech Times | January 24, 7:47 AM

As cases of the mosquito-borne Zika virus continue to spread across Central and South America, as well as in the Caribbean, health experts predict that it is just a matter of time before the disease spreads within the U.S. Odds Of Zika Transmission In The U.S. In a study published in the journal The Lancet on Jan. 14, researchers who conducted a study on how the Zika virus from Brazil would spread internationally found a high likelihood of the virus being transmitted to the U.S. "In Brazil, we identified airports within 50 km of areas conducive to year-round Zika virus transmission," the researchers wrote in their study. "Traveller volumes were greatest to the USA (2,767,337), Argentina (1,314,694), Chile (614,687), Italy (419,955), Portugal (411,407), and France (404,525)." How Zika Will Spread Travelers who go to Zika-affected countries could bring the virus to the U.S, where this could be transmitted to mosquitoes that feed on the blood of those infected. The virus-carrying mosquitoes would then pass along the virus when they feed on another person. "With the recent outbreaks in the Pacific Islands and South America, the number of Zika cases among travelers visiting or returning to the United States will likely increase," the CDC said. "These imported cases may result in local spread of the virus in some areas of the United States." Infection contracted after travelling to South America has already been reported in the U.S. etc. and the news story continues..

New Study Finds More Teens and Pre-Teens Turning to Porn

by Kathy Schiffer 01/20/2016

American teens are watching porn and seeking it out more than any previous generation. According to a report released January 20 by the Barna Group, today's teens and young adults are exposed younger, are viewing more, and are increasingly desensitized to the images. The Barna Group presented the results of their wide-ranging, nationally-representative sample of nearly 3,000 American teenagers, Christian pastors, and the Christian church. The Barna analysis did not compare Catholic teens and religious leaders with those from other denominations, but similar results are likely. Christian author and speaker Josh McDowell, speaking at the Barna Group's press conference on “The Porn Phenomenon” this morning in New York City, said, “Pornography violates all relational values between the individual and self, the individual and society, the unit of our families and our moral fabric and fiber as a nation.... When we objectify and demean life by removing the sanctity of the human person, our future is at risk.” With pornography easily available on-line and on cell phones, more than one-quarter (27%) of young adults ages 25-30 (referred to as “Millennials”) reported that they had viewed pornography before reaching puberty etc. and the news story continues..

CONSTITUTIONAL SHAKEDOWN IN HARNEY COUNTY, OREGON

BREAKING

By John Marshall January 25, 2016 NewsWithViews.com

This is an update to my previous article Constitutional Shake Down in Burns Oregon. I stated in my previous article that the Chinese wanted the uranium under Harney county but it turns out it was the Russians that wanted the uranium. David Ward the sheriff it turns out, used to work for BLM and testified against the Hammonds. It has also been revealed that the Clintons under their reign made a deal with Russia to let them mine uranium under Harney County. The Clinton money laundering Foundation received approximately 2.5 million dollars in four payments from the Russian mining company now known as Uranium One that was bought from a Canadian firm. This would explain why state officials were nervously trying to end this and why the sheriff gave his permission for the FBI to come into the county at the behest of the governor now as 200 fed vehicles come to Harney County. This governor Kate Brown is a Clinton brown nose supporter. Calling in the FBI may cause a Waco style situation but the criminals don't care they want the minerals and Mr. Bundy they think isn't going to stop them after all there's a long trail of murders behind the Clintons. Vince Foster for one out of hundreds. For Gov. Kate Brown to ask the feds to control the situation is like asking the arsonist to put out his own fire. These revelations uncovered by alternative media could spread into multiple indictments of federal officials never before seen in Oregon including Amanda Marshall a Obama appointee being disbarred along with the judge Ann Aiken a Clinton appointee being removed from the bench. There's nothing they can salvage out of their cover up, it's exposed enough to indict them all. This corruption goes all the way to the top of the Clinton white house, the justice dept, BLM, the forestry dept. and includes the sheriff playing his role in the theft of the Hammonds freedom and land by lying on the stand to convict the Hammonds as a BLM thug. The conflict of interest alone should free the Hammonds on the basis of a mistrial. How are the Hammonds to be protected if the sheriff is against them from day one as a BLM agent burning out ranchers and farmers? Sheriff Ward has also failed to mention or publicly acknowledge his push for excessive use of aggressive police behavior in conducting unnecessary traffic stops of local supporters and PPN members in an attempt to intimidate. Officers have reportedly conducted traffic stops with no probable cause and without having established necessary driving patterns to justify these traffic stops. These instances are professionally inappropriate and can be verified by several local witnesses. Sheriff David Ward needs to be arrested immediately for collusion, perjury, complicity in the theft of lands and malicious persecution and testimony along with Judge Steve Gratsy. Many heads should roll for this injustice and the Hammond's lawyer should be getting his clients out of prison for all this immediately. The lawyer has been paid way too much for him to ignore these facts. The Clinton crime mafia never ceases to amaze me, but then nothing in Satan's world surprises me anymore. In fact, Hilary is so evil, Satan kicked her out of hell. While Bonnie and Clyde were in the White House, Bill is slowly implementing agenda 21 in this country and he decided to take advantage of the huge opportunity to make millions and cut a deal unknown to the land owners or public with Russia. I think the slogan should be Bill and Hillary for prison in 2016 never the white house again. Early on we knew a BLM agent named David Ward testified against the Hammonds lying on the stand but we hadn't confirmed if they were the same people until now. I will update more as this complicated story as it continues to unfold by the day.

More Proof Emerging Time Is Short - Full Impact Of Growing Collapse Slams Railroads, Freight Transportation Industries - Is This The 'Tsunami' That's Coming To America?

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

The new SQAlerts on Steve Quayle's website are quite telling and more signs that the anticipated collapse of the global economy is right on schedule but the real terror is still to come. The railroads in America have long been a tell-tale sign of how the overall economy is doing and as we learn within these alerts and this story from Wolf Street, our freight transportation industries are now feeling the burdens of a weakening economy. With a deep 'freight recession' hitting railroads, trucking and air freight, how long will it be before the rest of the nation feels the coming impact of collapse like an onrushing, deadly tsunami as shared in this linked story? Within these alerts we learn that two large terminals were recently shut down in Erwin, Tennessee and Corbin, Kentucky, causing the loss of hundreds and hundreds of jobs and facts that we can easily verify ourselves here and here. The shut down in Erwin, Tennessee was after 140+ years of continuous service - 140+ years! That takes us all the way back to the mid-1870's! What has changed in America in the last few months and years that has caused this loss, after 140 years of continuous service? The answers are clear. Several videos below these SQAlerts including an X22Report that takes a look at the 'economic recovery illusion' that is now falling apart as more and more and more Americans lose their jobs as well as the 2nd video which takes a look at the global trade collapse and the collapsing Baltic Dry Index and what that means for the global economy. These alerts help to tell a story that the mainstream media isn't telling...a story of coming collapse that Americans need to know if we're going to stand a fighting chance at survival. I have been with this RR since 04' and learned that the RR feels the burden of the economy before the rest of the nation. Always watch the RR. STEVE, IN REGARD TO THE RAILROAD ARTICLE, THIS IS A COMMENT FROM A FRIEND. I HAD HIM REMOVE HIS CREDENTIALS, SORRY, BUT I HAD TO. The last two years which were booming, and being so they hired a bunch of conductors and ordered 300 new. There are 9 divisions in my RR, where there were 10 just a month ago. They shut down two large terminals there Erwin, TN and Corbin, KY and then had the surrounding divisions absorb what was left. That division's [the Huntington Division] main freight was coal. We are all obviously aware of the furloughs and their deepening situation. The official told us about how we unfortunately ordered all of those locomotives and need to pay for them because of the contract with GE. In my terminal alone we have approx. 50 mothballed engines (our term for locomotives) and I know they are everywhere.... I have been with this RR since 04' and learned that the RR feels the burden of the economy before the rest of the nation. Always watch the RR. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO IN THE LORDS SERVICE PROPHETIC PICTURE - LITERALLY, OF THE ENGINES THAT DRIVE THE ECONOMY AT A TOTAL STANDSTILL AS SOON OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY WILL BE With regard to the train freight article this morning, we have in Grand Junction, CO., literally hundreds of engines sidelined on the tracks. They are three deep on some tracks and easily number over 250. I have never seen this many engines on the tracks before and I feel this is just another indicator of the slowdown in shipping. I will get a video and send it to you for your archives. God bless. Time is short. More of the signs that we are seeing around us of massive change happening now include in Norway, where we learn that the country's biggest bank is demanding a ban on cash, just the latest step we're now witnessing in the 'war on cash'. A little bit closer to home for most ANP readers, Canada is dealing with a major price spike in food, fruits and vegetables in particular, where we learn from Zero Hedge that "if Canadians insist upon eating tomatoes, they're going to have to pay for it." While growing their own tomato plants would be a permanent way to end that potential problem, we learn that fresh fruit has skyrocketed 12.4% since 2014 while fresh vegetables are up 14.4%. A couple days ago on SHTFPlan, Jeremiah Johnson told us 'the world is about to enter a global depression unlike anything seen before'. We're told that warfare and martial law may be what inevitably accompanies this global depression as the collapse is now in a 'forced free fall' we see happening before our very eyes. Almost every society that has collapsed has seen such a fall heralded by severe economic turmoil. We are seeing such turmoil in the freefall of the U.S. economy and, from a bigger picture, the world economy. The world is about to enter into a period of global depression unlike anything seen before, and the necessary element to cement such a depression will soon be present: the element of war. With that element present the final link will have arrived in Obama’s grand plan to enslave the citizenry completely and destroy the U.S. Warfare is necessary to provide the justification needed for the administration to declare martial law. Little by little Obama has been chipping away at every cornerstone of the foundations of American society. He originally had both houses of Congress, and now he’s down to just one; however, his actions have not abated. If anything they’ve increased, especially in rapidity as he has (we hope!) only a year left. In the 1st video below from the X22 Report Dave takes a look at many of the different signs that we're now seeing that are proving to the American people that any economic recovery was merely an illusion as economic reality hits Americans squarely in our faces. Dave also takes a look at what is going on economically around the world, from South America to Europe to the Middle East as banks and industries are struggling and the worlds people can either prepare for what is coming or be buried in the coming landslide. Venezuela inflation will surpass 700%. UK holiday sales decline and the Euro zone economy does not look good in 2016. Italy is struggling with insolvent banks and are preparing to use bail-ins to prop them up. Existing home sales magically increased, but it turns out foreign investors pushed the market up. More manufacture and other corporation are laying off employees. The economic recovery does not exist and its getting harder to convince the people that it does. No one knows how much Saudi Arabia has in Treasuries and the US keeps this a secret In the 2nd video below, Daily Voice News takes a look at all of the signs that we are now witnessing that global trade is collapsing as we enter into a period in time unlike any other in recent history we are told.: In the event that you have been looking for the following major worldwide financial downturn, you can now quit holding up, in light of the fact that it has formally arrived. At no other time in history has worldwide exchange caved in this significantly outside of a noteworthy overall retreat. Obviously something huge is going on, and it is influencing the whole planet. The CEO of the biggest delivery organization on the planet trusts that the clarification for what is occurring is genuinely basic. In the event that you suspected that the money related shaking that happened in late August was terrible, actually it was nothing contrasted with what is currently traveling our direction. So buckle your seat belts boys and girls, because we are definitely in for a bumpy ride. Keep in mind, the Baltic Dry Index is no longer at 394; as we can see below in the graphic from Bloomberg, it now sits at 354. How low can it go? Most Americans don't understand how all of this will one day play into our every day lives. BioPrepper gives us an excellent idea in this linked story.

This Ticking Time-Bomb Now Threatens The Entire Global Financial System

January 25, 2016

With continued uncertainty in global markets, today King World News is featuring a powerful interview with one of the greats in the business that exposes the ticking time-bomb that now threatens the entire global financial system. James Turk: “There has been a big change at the Federal Reserve, Eric, and it is one that has profound implications for the US dollar. Unfortunately, it is not a change for the better… To hear which company Eric Sprott, James Turk and George Soros invested in that is advancing the digital payments revolution and makes it possible for you to spend gold with a prepaid-card globally click on the logo: This change worsens the outlook for the dollar, and it has received little if any attention in the mainstream media. Take a look at this remarkable chart (see below). The Fed’s capital plummeted overnight from $58.7 billion to $39.5 billion. The Fed has lost $19.2 billion of its equity. Here are snapshots of the Fed’s “Before & After” balance sheets so KWN viewers can see the comparison. As a result of this change, the Fed’s leverage ratio – in other words, its liabilities divided by its capital – has soared from an already high 75.6 to a jaw-dropping 112.6. Fed’s Leverage Now Equals LTCM’s Before It Went Bankrupt To put this number into perspective, that’s similar to the leverage ratio of Long Term Capital Management before it went belly up. The Fed’s leverage is so high that it makes other over-leveraged central banks like the ECB look prudent by comparison. The Fed is now the most highly leveraged it has ever been, and probably is the most highly leveraged bank on the planet. It is an alarming development. It means that if the value of the Fed’s assets declines by a minuscule 0.88%, the Fed’s book capital will be wiped out, making the Fed as insolvent as some of the banks it is trying to keep afloat. In reality the Fed probably is already insolvent using generally accepted accounting principles that mark its assets to their market value. We know that the Fed still has a lot of paper on its balance sheet that it bought from insolvent banks in the 2008 financial crisis that in a liquidation sale won’t be worth the book value at which the Fed records it. Also, with interest rates rising, it is likely that the mark-to-market value of the long term bonds the Fed holds has been declining, but the Fed does not record these losses in book value. For these reasons, it seems safe to assume that the value of the Fed’s assets is already less – perhaps even far less – then the 99.12% of their face value they need to be to keep the Fed solvent. Huge Risks Being Imposed On The U.S. Dollar What happened to the Fed here, Eric, is imposing huge risks on the dollar, and more generally, the whole financial system, including the banks. So it is important to understand why the Fed’s capital plummeted. Every year the Fed pays a dividend to the banks that own it. This dividend aims to compensate the banks for the capital they have invested in the Fed. After that dividend payment, any residual profit earned by the Fed is then paid to the US government. In 2015, the Fed paid $97.7 billion to the federal government, which by the way was a new record topping the previous $96.9 billion record that the Fed paid to the U.S. government in 2014. These huge payouts were possible because the Fed’s balance sheet has never been this big before, enabling it to earn record profits. But last year’s huge payout was not enough for the federal government. They wanted more, so the politicians in D.C. tacked a little-known provision to the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act, which President Obama signed into law on December 4th. The politicians wanted to fund this $305 billion five-year spending bill without increasing taxes, which would not only squeeze consumer budgets even more, but would also further impair economic activity if consumers had to send more taxes to D.C. So instead, the politicians scraped together these funds from other sources, wherever they could find some. It is important to recognize that the $19.3 billion of capital they took from the Fed is a trifling amount compared to the federal government’s $18.9 trillion of debt and over $100 trillion of other liabilities for which it is on the hook because of financial promises politicians have made. In other words, while $19.3 billion is huge in absolute terms, it is tiny compared to the big picture of the federal government’s total debt. So the way this new law was funded is giving us a critical message, Eric. It shows how hard-pressed the federal government’s financial position really is. Ticking Time-Bomb Now Threatens The Entire Global Financial System The US government’s financial position is in such dire straits it has to look for money wherever it can find it. So the money it took from the Fed is sort of like looking for like nickles-and-dimes that were hidden under the cushions of the living room sofa, given that the $19.3 billion it found is so small compared to the debt mountain the federal government has built for itself. So the bottom-line, Eric, is that while the Fed talks about normalizing its balance sheet and hints at bringing its total assets back to the $850 billion level that existed prior to the 2008 financial crisis, the reality is quite different. The Fed has done nothing to reduce its total assets, and this huge nosedive in its total capital makes its balance sheet even more abnormal and therefore more worrying. It is no wonder that gold and silver are having a great start to the New Year.”

Next Crash Worse than 1929 & 2008 Combined-Michael Pento

By Greg Hunter On January 24, 2016 In Market Analysis

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (Early Sunday release)

Money manager Michael Pento says the next crash will be one for the record books. Pento contends, “If you look at any of the economic data coming out, it screams recession. It will be one of the worst recessions since 2008 and 1929—combined.” This is a description of a global depression. Pento contends, “Unfortunately, I think that’s exactly where we are headed. It’s not my opinion. It’s not a Cassandra. It’s not my view. It’s the entire view of all global markets. China is 45% down. There’s a bear market in Europe. There’s a bear market in Japan. There is a bear market in most of the United States.” Why is it going to be so historically bad this time around? Pento says, “In prior recessions, the Federal Reserve was allowed to lower the borrowing costs significantly and dramatically. For instance, the Fed Funds Rate, that interbank lending rate, was 5.25%. Today, it’s between .25% and .50%. The Fed is unable to reduce borrowing costs to the consumer. All they can do is take back their measly .25% rate hike that they did in December. So, there is no debt service relief coming from the Federal Reserve. That’s number one. Number two, a normal function of recessions is a surge in the deficit. We saw this in the Great Recession from about $200 billion a year to $1.5 trillion a year. This time, if they skyrocket again . . . who’s going to buy that Treasury debt? There’s no more QE. China is a huge seller. Japan is a huge seller. So, interest rates are going to rise because sovereigns are insolvent. It’s not the banks that are insolvent anymore, although that is still the case to a great degree. Central banks are insolvent, and sovereign governments are insolvent. That’s why this is no normal recession.” So, does Pento think the Fed is going to reverse course and cut rates back to where they were in December. Pento predicts, “Yes, I do. So, I think there is a pause or maybe they raise rates one more time in March. The clueless morons that run our central bank are looking at the unemployment rate and are worried about hyperinflation because too many people are producing. If you look at commodity prices, equity prices, junk bond spreads, if you look at actual data coming out, we are in a magnificent manufacturing recession across the globe. . . . Everything is down and slowing dramatically.” Pento is forecasting a global depression, and Pento contends, “It’s happening. It’s happening now. This is not your garden variety recession. You have impotent central bankers and impotent sovereign nations. How many more empty cities is China going to build without destroying their currency? . . . . There are going to be global sovereign defaults, and those defaults are going to take the form of defaults through monetization and inflation. That is where we are headed.” Pento warns that until the Fed starts printing massive amounts of money to turn the imploding economy around, “It’s going to be a devastating, metastasizing global depression. It’s on its way.” etc. and the news story continues..

Putin's Payoff? Gold Surges Amid Stock Market Mayhem

Business 15:00 25.01.2016(updated 15:22 25.01.2016)

Gold prices and holdings have surged in January, amid increased volatility in markets and new geopolitical risks. Could the new rise in prices save Russia's finances, long rumored to be increasingly gold-based? Gold prices have surged since the beginning of 2016, amid oil price and financial market volatility, as holdings of the metal by investors more than reversed losses in December. Gold holdings, as well as prices grew by record amounts, according to data compiled by Bloomberg, as stocks and commodities first crashed and then surged in January, amid increasing instability in China's economy and the Middle East's geopolitics. Russia's own holdings in the metal have remained constant in dollar terms while growing greatly in volume, creating speculation in the financial press about Russia's true intentions. "People have become complacent about risks, whether it’s macroeconomic and geopolitical. What’s out of fashion may be coming back," George Milling-Stanley, head of gold investments at Boston based State Street Global Advisors, told Bloomberg. Gold holdings fell amid previous shocks of 2015, such as the Paris terror attacks in anticipation of a rate increase by the US Federal Reserve. With the new Fed policy apparent and new risks and tensions becoming increasingly unpredictable, banks such as Citigroup to increase its gold price forecast by 10 percent. Could Gold Actually Save Russia? Russia's Central Bank spent $7.53 billion on gold over the course of 2015, compared to $6.69 billion the previous year. The number amounts to a quarter of the entire world's officially purchased gold in the first half of 2015, according to the World Gold Council. In terms of tonnage, Russia's gold purchases grew by 20 percent when comparing the first halves of 2014 and 2015. The Russian Central Bank's moves to buy gold have attracted attention in both fringe and mainstream financial media as everything from a sanctions-proof safeguard to a way to wage "economic war" (thank the Telegraph for that one). The strangest part of the "Russian gold" conspiracy theories, however, was their attribution of the gold-buying to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who does not control the Central Bank's monetary policy. In Russia itself, somewhat humorously, the gold-related conspiracy theories never gained ground because Russia's own leading conspiracy theories attribute the Central Bank's independence to control by the IMF and a "One World Government." Financial observers inside Russia have noted that the increased gold purchasing may have been in part due to lobbying of the Central Bank by Russian gold manufacturers. Overall, the Central Bank's policy appears to have been to keep its gold holdings buoyed at around $50 billion as the price falls. However, despite being a guarantor for the Central Bank, a rise in the price of gold, even to its 2011 peak, would mean a gain of roughly $37 billion for the Russian reserves, or 10.2 percent total, not enough to even cover Russia's $38.6 billion budget deficit set for 2016. The amount is hardly enough to prop up the Russian ruble at its highs before the oil price crash, when Russian reserves hovered at over $500 billion, compared to $368 billion today, according to the Central Bank's statistics.

Every Economic Indicator Says We Are In Economic Free Fall

25 Jan, 2016 by Dave Hodges

Things are much worse that they appear. We are entering a time of unparalleled peril. Economic collapse is here and is underway in many parts of the economy. “Europe is on the verge of collapse” George Soros The architect of the Arab Spring has made a stunning proclamation. In an exclusive interview with a German magazine, George Soros recently stated that the European Union will soon be no more. The EU is imploding before our very eyes. This proclamation comes on the heels of Germany’s answer to President Obama, Angela Merkel, correctly predicted that the EU would be crushed under the weight of Middle Eastern immigration. Merkel, at the same time, has declared de facto martial law in Germany. In Germany, people have been evicted from their apartments to make way for the rush of immigrants. In Germany, if people speak out against Muslim immigration on venues, like Facebook, they are subject to fines and arrest. In contrast, in the United States, Attorney General, Loretta Lynch told journalists from the Independent Media that they would be subject to fines and arrest for discussing Muslim extremism one day after the San Bernardino massacre. As Steve Quayle says, we might have defeated Germany in World War II, but the reality is that the Nazi’s now run both countries, and they are running both countries into the ground. “The situation is worse than it was in 2007.” William White, Swiss economist William White recently stated that the global financial system faces “an avalanche of bankruptcies” that will test social and political stability. Let’s put that very polite statement into plain English: “There is going to be massive civil unrest”. The projections are so bad, that national authorities are worried the local law enforcement will join in with the people. Could this have anything to do with why it has been announced that NATO is heading up an international martial law force. This fact was reported by both Infowars and The Common Sense Show this past weekend. Economist Joseph Meyer “The collapse could come tomorrow, next week…I do not see it going much beyond March…” In a recent interview on The Common Sense Show, Joseph Meyer, from Straight Money Analysis, said he sees a “major readjustment” taking place before the Spring. Will this be America’s Spring. The Baltic Dry Index The BDI indicates that global shipping is running aground. No matter when you write these words “The Baltic Dry Index has hit another record low today….”, your statement will be outdated by midnight of the day that you print these words. “In the last 13 sessions alone, the BDI has hit a new all-time low every day, for each of those 13 days.” “Overnight, drybulk shipping rates, as measured by the Baltic Dry Index, hit a new all-time low, falling 5 pts to 358″. This is particularly disturbing because the BDI is generally considered to the best economic indicator of global health. The last six months would indicate that the global economy is coming to a complete standstill. How long will food be shipped? How long will life-saving medicine be shipped? Nobody knows for sure, but very few economists are ignoring the inevitable. Even the mainstream media is beginning to print these dire predictions. The IMF Is On the Verge of Imposing New Austerity Rules As first reported in Forbes Magazine, the director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Christine LaGarde, dropped a nuclear bomb in its October Fiscal Monitor Report. The report paints a dire picture for high-debt nations that fail to aggressively “mobilize domestic revenue,” which is banker-speak code for “taxing its citizens into oblivion.” This is often a prelude to civil unrest and even civil war. LaGarde went on to say that private assets will have to be used to monetize the staggering debts faced by the West. Does this mean that more MERS events, in which homes were allowed to be stolen by the Banks, are going to take place? Does this mean the end of all private property? And the very bankers which created this mess, what are they contributing? The IMF is clearly advocating for a tax on your private savings to pay down government debts after assuming the private debts of the bankers. The IMF also wants to take 10% of your private savings in addition to the outrageous taxes that citizens in the West are paying. Finally, there will never be a payoff of the debt. Forbes Magazine went on to say the following: Such a repudiation of private property will not pay off Western governments’ debts or fund budgets going forward. It will merely “restore debt sustainability,” allowing free-spending sovereigns to keep tapping the bond markets until the next crisis comes along—for which stronger measures will be required, of course.” Can you grasp the meaning of what is being said here? The globalists are telling you that we can never pay off the debt. All we can hope to do is to maintain a debt based economy that will not come crashing down on the next morning.

Eleven states as well as Washington D.C. declared states of emergency in the wake of the massive record-breaking snowstorm which blanketed the East. But New York City went a step further. Governor Andrew Cuomo declared martial law in New York City by ordering all people to stay inside under police enforcement.

ISIS planning 'special forces-style' attacks in Europe, report says

By Emily Smith, CNN Updated 8:36 AM ET, Tue January 26, 2016

(CNN) Europe should be prepared for more of the ruthless and coordinated attacks that ISIS carried out in Paris last year, officials say. The militant group is planning more large-scale, "special forces-style" assaults that don't even necessarily need to be coordinated from Syria. That disturbing scenario was laid out in a report by Europol - Europe's law enforcement agency -- released Monday. The report, entitled "Changes in modus operandi of Islamic State terrorist attacks," paints a picture of a terror group whose methods keep evolving and whose threat is two fold: Coordinated attacks and lone wolf operatives. "The Paris attacks, and subsequent investigation, appear to indicate a shift towards a broader strategy of [ISIS] going global, of them specifically attacking France, but also the possibly of attacks against other Member States of the EU in the near future," the report said. etc. and the news story continues..

Suicide bombers kill 32, wound dozens in northern Cameroon

DOUALA, Cameroon | By Josiane Kouagheu Wed Jan 27, 2016 3:07am IST

Suicide bombers targeting a town in northern Cameroon killed 32 people and wounded 66 on Monday, one of the worst attacks yet in the Central African nation as it struggles to contain violence blamed on Nigeria's Boko Haram. State-owned radio and local officials said four explosions struck a busy market and entrances to the town of Bodo, which borders the Islamist insurgency's strongholds in northeastern Nigeria, at around 10 a.m. (0900 GMT). A local official, who said the death toll could rise further as a number of those take to hospital were in serious condition, said the attackers had slipped in under the cover of seasonal, dusty Harmattan winds. etc. and the news story continues..

There Are No Atheists In A Foxhole!

Posted January 26th, 2016 at 9:27 PM (CST) by Bill Holter & filed under Bill Holter.

Dear CIGAs, There can be little contention the world is experiencing an economic slowdown. The problem is this; the slowdown is occurring at a time when credit levels have never been higher than they are today. The logic is simple, less activity, less turnover, less velocity of money with such high levels of debt make the debt unpayable. This is the classic case of deflation the Dent’s and Armstrong’s of the world speak about …but they all stop one step short of where this really ends up. I have noticed recently via e-mails and comments, “they can do this forever, nothing will stop them from printing and doing QE so nothing will change” is almost becoming a national mantra. I would say, “well, yes, until it does not work any longer”. If we look at just one market alone, the oil market, it is clear the point of “unsustainability” has been reached. In the oil patch alone, the amount of bad and nonperforming loans has exploded. Because of the fractional reserve nature of the global banking system, bad oil loans by themselves are probably enough to wipe out the underlying equity of lenders. My point is this, we now face the other side of the coin in the debt markets. What was “good” is no longer because new marginal debt does not produce growth, in fact it now only speeds up the moment of systemic seizure! “Slowdowns” in the past were turned around because governments, central banks, lenders and businesses had the ability to reflate. This ability is now gone as the episode since 2008 has been an “all in strategy”. The ability to borrow more is largely gone by any and all entities including central banks and treasuries. The amount of unencumbered assets available is nonexistent as new collateral is also largely gone. The ability to “reflate” does not exist in any corner of the financial world. So here we are at a point in time where reflation is no longer possible and the deflationists are being proven correct. They are correct in regards to a credit system working in reverse with a negative feedback loop stoking a deflationary death spiral. There is just one small problem, what will happen to the currencies of these issuers (including and especially The Fed) who are also caught up in the negative feedback loop? This is THE biggest and most pressing financial question you will ever face in your lifetime. Will the currencies survive and thrive in the deflation or will they be seen for what they are, IOU’s of bankrupt issuers at the very center of the credit crisis vortex? If you answer this question incorrectly, you may end your own financial life. The key to this question is what will assets “deflate” against”? The answer of course is as it has always been, “money”. While Martin Armstrong will have you believe “gold was devalued versus the dollar in 1934″, I assure you it was quite the opposite. And while Harry Dent will have you believe the “dollar” was THE best investment in the 1930′s, again I assure you he is wrong! Dollars were “derivatives” (derived from) of gold. They were freely interchangeable at banks until 1933, then the dollar was devalued from $20.67 cents to $35 dollars required to purchase one ounce of gold. In other words, it took nearly 75% more dollars to purchase an ounce of gold… end of story, gold was King during the last and only deflation since then, dollars (and other currencies) were and will be devalued versus gold. The two most important aspects of gold is it cannot “bankrupt” nor can it be freely “printed”. Those who say the U.S. can never “go bankrupt” because the debt is in dollars and we will just print more are 100% correct but horribly wrong! Correct, the U.S. can print any amount of dollars necessary to pay off debt. This still doesn’t mean they do not “default”. In other words, if Wimpy fails to give you a promised hamburger next Tuesday but instead promises you a hamburger every Tuesday for the rest of his life, where’s the beef? It never ever comes just as there will be zero value to any dollar bill should the U.S. decide to print the $trillions needed to avoid default. This falls under the crazy category of SUPPLY AND DEMAND! In case you don’t understand what I just said, “old” dollars will become worthless as they became over printed to avoid “default” …devaluation is a default in its own right. In the meantime while we wait for the currency event termed “hyperinflation”, we must navigate a deflationary environment where credit is drying up everywhere you look. It should amaze you that the world is facing a liquidity crisis after all the trillions of digital currency units added to the system since 2008… it seem almost impossible to have a lack of liquidity doesn’t it? But this is the fact we face globally and what threatens to shut the system down, no liquidity! Taking this two steps further than the deflationists, what exactly will happen once credit does collapse and the spigot gets shut off? In the case of the U.S., we most likely will “print” to the point of full (rather than the current partial) monetization of all the debt. This printing will be done by a bankrupt entity with more IOU’s around the world than can be humanly counted. How will the massive supply of dollars issued by a bankrupt and fraudulent issuer possibly be a “good thing” for value of dollars? This thought process no matter how simple seems to be two steps too far for the deflationists! The real world result of credit freezing up will amount to a national and probably global hunger fest. For those of you who just recently went through the northeast winter storm, what did the shelves of your local grocery store look like going into Saturday morning? Could there be a bigger storm than existing credit collapsing and new credit no longer being issued? I find it incredible that the aspect of credit is almost never connected to “distribution”. Forget about actual farming or production needing credit to function, how will product make it to store shelves without credit even if it does “grow”? Folks, when I use the word “grow” I am talking about FOOD! Even if you are part of the “government will never let it happen” or “they can just print forever” army, what if you are wrong and instead common sense is correct? How will you fare when “WHEN” comes since “IF” has already left the building? Without a doubt, the alarm clock wake up call for a sleeping public will be when their stomachs start growling. Nothing will make stomachs growl more than an overleveraged system with no credit forthcoming! On a side note I have a prediction for you. When credit does collapse, “Jesus Christ” will surely make a comeback for some. No, I would never try to predict the timing of His second coming nor would I ever want to offend the non believers out there. When credit ceases we will see the absolute worst humanity has to offer, and as the old saying goes, “there are no atheists in a foxhole when the bombs are dropping”. In the aftermath, I predict the world will turn to whoever their God happens to be and religion will make a long overdue comeback! Please, don’t throw any flaming e-mails my way as I am not trying to turn this into a God or religious site. What I am trying to say is simply; without a doubt we will exit what is coming with grossly changed social values, ideas and beliefs. While truth, honesty, one’s word or whatever are seemingly meaningless today, this will not always be the case. History has shown the need for great calamity and upheaval to force change. A great financial calamity is mathematically coming, great “change” in values of all sorts will result! Standing watch, Bill Holter

Monetary Meth Coming Soon-Gerald Celente

By Greg Hunter On January 27, 2016 In Political Analysis 3 Comments

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com

Top trends forecaster Gerald Celente says the global economy is tanking, but don’t expect central banks to go down without a fight. Celente explains, “So, what happens? The markets are going down, and you hear from people like Ray Dalio (hedge fund manager) from Bridgewater Associates saying that the Federal Reserve needs to consider quantitative easing again and more stimulus. All of a sudden, the markets go up because, what happens, Mario Draghi, former head of the Goldman Sachs gang in Europe. . . . . Now, of course, he’s the head of the European Central Bank (ECB). Davos, Dalio, Draghi, three D’s man. Draghi gave these money junkies over there some monetary meth. All of a sudden, Draghi comes out and promises more stimulus on the horizon, folks. Whether it’s the Fed, ECB, China or the Bank of Japan talking about it again—more stimulus. All they are doing is keeping this money junkie, this Ponzi that is addicted to cheap money, alive. At some point, as we saw, it’s crashing and they keep coming up and give it more life.” Celente predicts, “It’s a global recession and it’s already on. What they could do to prop up the stock markets, I don’t know, but our forecast is they won’t be able to. It’s also very important to understand that the people will not blame Obama for the declining economy. They are not tuned in enough, and they have been pushed down to I don’t care and I don’t believe in hope and change anymore. It will be neutral as to the party preference.” On the upcoming 2016 election, Celente says, Conservatives aren’t conservative anymore and liberals aren’t liberals anymore. . . . How about ‘High Crimes and Misdemeanors’? Six banks were convicted of felonies for rigging the LIBOR interest rate and rigging the FOREX or currency markets, which is a $5.3 trillion a day market. Not one head rolled. . . . This is what you call a neo-feudal society. The rich get a slap on the wrist, and we get a whack on the head for committing the most minor crimes because we have to obey the law. . . . We see it as Trump and Clinton, at this point, and Trump is not going to get the woman vote. At this point, I think Clinton can beat Trump.” On the subject of the stability of the banks, Celente says, “The only money I keep in a bank is money to run our business because here is the deal. If there is a terrorist strike, false flag or real, there will be a bank holiday and . . . bail-ins. The global banking system is in a bear market. China . . . Japan . . . . France, bear market . . . UK is in a bear market. We are told everything is going to be okay. I wouldn’t put my money in the banks, and I’ll tell you why.

IMF downgrades outlook for U.S., world economies

By The Associated Press | Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2016, 7:48 p.m.

WASHINGTON — The International Monetary Fund cut its forecast for global and U.S. economic growth in 2016. Citing weakness in the developing world, the IMF said Tuesday that the world economy will grow 3.4 percent, down from an October forecast of 3.6 percent. The international lending agency downgraded the outlook for developing economies to 4.3 percent growth from a forecast of 4.5 percent in October. The world economy grew 3.1 percent and developing economies 4 percent in 2015. Both figures were the weakest since the recession year of 2009. China's slowing economy and falling commodity prices have hurt countries in the developing world that export raw materials. etc. and the news story continues.

US considering fresh military action in Libya over Isis threat

Pentagon looking at ‘military options’ to stop Islamic State from gaining more ground, four years after US air campaign helped topple Libyan dictator Gaddafi

Spencer Ackerman Wednesday 27 January 2016 16.02 EST

The Pentagon is considering fresh military action in Libya more than four years after conducting an air campaign that helped topple dictator Muammar Gaddafi, a spokesman said on Wednesday. Officials are currently “looking at military options” to stop the Islamic State militant group from gaining ground in another oil-rich Mideast nation, said Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook. At present, US efforts in Libya are focussed on identifying local allies to work with, for what a senior military officer has envisioned as a “decisive” confrontation with Isis. US warplanes ceased operations after rebels killed Gaddafi in Sirte in October 2011, and since then a security vacuum has persisted in the country, prompting lingering questions about the wisdom of the US intervention. Those questions intensified after four Americans, including a US ambassador, were killed in Benghazi the following year. They have persisted as one of the intervention’s advocates within the Obama administration, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, campaigns for the presidency. Senator Ted Cruz, a leading contender for Republican candidacy, has said the Libya war made “no sense”. Cook acknowledged that the “metastasis” of Isis beyond its primary base in Iraq and Syria has prompted the Pentagon to revisit the question of a renewed war in Libya. etc. and the news story continues..

Hacker Accused of Giving Military Personal Data to ISIS in U.S. Court

Jan 27 2016, 4:22 pm ETby Pete Williams

A hacker accused of stealing the names and addresses of American service members and giving them to ISIS was brought to a U.S. courtroom Wednesday to face terrorism charges. Ardit Ferizi, a 20-year-old college student from Kosovo who was studying in Malaysia, appeared before a federal judge in Alexandria, Virginia. Related: U.S. Files Criminal Complaint Against ISIS Hacker Prosecutors say he hacked into the Arizona database of an American retailer last year, then sent personal details of about 1,300 U.S. military and government personnel to an ISIS propagandist, who posted the information online and urged followers to attack them. The posting warned that soldiers of ISIS would "strike at your necks in your own lands!" At the request of the U.S., Ferizi was arrested by authorities in Kuala Lumpur last September. The Justice Department sought his extradition, and he was brought to the US this week to face the hacking and terrorism charges. The FBI said Ferizi gave the data he stole to a British citizen, Junaid Hussain, who called himself Abu Hussain al-Britani and who posted it online last August. Hussain was killed in a drone strike in Syria on August 24.

South Florida Muslim Leader Posts Material from Hitler Supporter

AMANA’s Sofian Zakkout once again refers to Jews as “pigs" and "monkeys.”

January 27, 2016 Joe Kaufman

Sofian Zakkout wears a number of hats. First, he is the director of a prominent South Florida Muslim organization, the American Muslim Association of North America (AMANA). Second, he sits on boards of civic groups, including those devoted to fighting crime, such as the local chapters of Citizens’ Crime Watch and Crime Stoppers, whose leadership safeguards him. And third, he’s a raving anti-Semite who embraces terrorist groups and preaches violence. In 2016, he has started off the year in true form by targeting Jews on social media. The night of Monday, January 11th, was a hate-filled one for Sofian Abdelaziz Zakkout. On this night, he aimed his wrath at the Jewish community. He began by posting onto Facebook side-by-side photos of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and American Jew and former National Director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Abraham Foxman (shown clawing his hand). Under the photos, along with lines from the Bible intentionally misquoted to make Jews appear as enslavers and murderers, the following is read (with some grammatical repairs): “[T]ell [me] again why my tax money along with most Americans are giving [these] pigs $18 billion annually in financial aid to [these] f**ks in Israel?” Zakkout attacking the ADL’s Foxman may be retaliation for a July 2010 ADL report condemning Zakkout and his group AMANA for featuring what the ADL called a “venomous” anti-Semitic, anti-Israel video on the AMANA website. The video was produced by and featured white supremacist leader David Duke. Zakkout has since posted a number of Duke videos on social media and has praised Duke as “a man to believe in!” The Netanyahu/Foxman post, along with a similar one made by Zakkout also featuring Foxman, was taken from the horrifically anti-Semitic, pro-Hitler Facebook site of an individual named David Castillo. Quotes made by Castillo on his site, include: “[T]he same sh*t Jews run and own everything! Buy a gun and lots of ammo and prepare to take them out, for debt can only be paid back by killing the f**ks who put [us] there;” “All Jews belong in hell with maggots because all they are is maggots!” “The only good Jew is a dead one;” and “I can only wish that a new hero like Adolf Hitler would take back Germany and finally get rid of the lizard bastards…” After the Netanyahu/Foxman posting, Zakkout posted onto his Facebook page a video stating that the “End of Zionism,” meaning the destruction of Israel, “equals Peace.” Then, right after, Zakkout followed it up by posting another video, where he (Zakkout) stated above it, “Watch these pigs an[d] monkeys Israeli occupiers harassing and harming Palestinian women!” He signed it, “Sofian Zakkout.” In one scene on the video, all that can be viewed is a nicely dressed Israeli family, with a half-dozen children, merely walking together.” etc. and the news story continues..

The War on Cash: A Country by Country Guide

TOPICS: Banking James Corbett January 28, 2016

Corbett Reporteers will be no stranger to the war on cash. I’ve made videos discussing it, conducted interviews about it, written articles examining it and dissected it on the radio. The war has been waged through mainstream propaganda outlets, TV advertisements and even children’s games. We’ve heard cash is dirtied by drug dealing, tarnished by terrorism, tainted by tax evasion (heaven forbid!) and just plain dirty. Not to mention sooooo outdated. Just this week Norway has jumped aboard the cashless society agenda with DNB, the country’s largest bank, calling for a total end to cash. The story only sounds shocking because people haven’t heard the similar stories from Sweden or Denmark or India or Israel or any of the dozens of other countries whose banksters and (bankster-controlled) governments have openly lusted after a world of completely trackable, completely bank-controlled transactions. But all of these stories, reported piecemeal here and there over the years, doesn’t give the full story about how this “war on cash” is being waged on every continent and in every country by the same banksters that stand to benefit from a cashless world. Let’s fix that by compiling a list of examples from around the world of how cash payments are being regulated, restricted and phased out. The list below will be updated as new stories come in. If you have a link to relevant news from your own country or know of such news from another country, please let us know. Corbett Report members are invited to contribute to the list by logging in and leaving links to the relevant info in the comments below. The Cashless Society List CANADA – In 2007 the Canadian government stopped allowing payment of taxes in cash at government service centers. In 2010 Passport Canada followed suit. In 2011 56% of Canadians polled said they were happy to live in a bankster-controlled cashless society so the country killed the penny in 2012 and the Royal Canadian Mint started pimping the “MintChip” as a new form of electronic payment that will be “better than cash.” The Mint ended the program in 2014 but the Great White North is still on track to be a cashless society in the coming years. DENMARK – In the 1990s about 80% of Danish retail purchases were made with cash, but these days it’s more like 25%. But if the Danish government has its way, that number will be 0% by 2030. That’s the year the Danish government has set for the complete elimination of paper money in Denmark. FRANCE – In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attacks last year, the French government stepped up its war on cash. In March of last year, French Finance Minister Michel Sapin declared it necessary to “fight against the use of cash and anonymity in the French economy” in order to combat “low-cost terrorism.” As of September 2015 it is illegal for French citizens to make purchases exceeding 1000 euros in cash. INDIA – India is one of the most cash-dependent economies in the world with a cash-to-GDP ratio of 12% almost four times that of fellow BRICS nations Brazil and South Africa). But it won’t be for long if the Indian government has its way. Last June the Indian Ministry of Finance posted a draft proposal to its website for facilitating the rise of cashless payments in the country. In his 2015 budget speech the Finance Minister declared: “One way to curb the flow of black money is to discourage transactions in cash. Now that a majority of Indians has or can have, a RUPAY debit card. I therefore, proposes to introduce soon several measure that will incentivize credit or debit card transactions and disincentivize cash transaction.” ISRAEL – In 2014 a special committee headed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Chief of Staff Harel Locker released a report examining how to reduce the use of cash in the country. The report advocates reforms (including restrictions and limits on cash transactions) as part of a strategy whose aim is “reduced use of cash, reduced use of endorsed checks, and increased use of electronic means of payment.” NORWAY – Late last week Trond Bentestuen, a senior executive at Norway’s largest bank, complained to the VG Newspaper that the Norwegian central bank “can only account for 40 percent” of the Norwegian kroner in circulation, meaning “that 60 percent of money usage is outside of any control.” There’s only one conclusion, according to Bentestuen: “There are so many dangers and disadvantages associated with cash, we have concluded that it should be phased out.” Don’t worry, though, the nation’s Finance Ministry says it has “no plans to change the law in this area”…for now. SWEDEN – Last year Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology released a report stating that the country is on track to completely eliminating cash transactions in the foreseeable future. Noting that there are now only 80 billion Swedish crowns in circulation in the economy (down from 106 just six years ago), the report highlights how digital person-to-person payment technology “Swish” (developed in collaboration with Danish banks) is already transforming the country’s banking sector, where there are now entire banks that do not accept cash.

Eliminating cash will increase the power of governments and banksters over the populace by a factor of 10. So fascist governments will love that proposal.

U.S. Government Freezes Bank Accounts of Drone Pilot Whistleblowers Who Exposed Civilian Murder For having the courage to come forward and expose the drone program for the indiscriminate murder that it is, 4 vets are under attack from the government they once served. The U.S. Government failed to deter them through threats of criminal prosecution, and clumsy attempts to intimidate their families. Now four former Air Force drone operators-turned-whistleblowers have had their credit cards and bank accounts frozen, according to human rights attorney Jesselyn Radack.

The Fed Won: America’s 0.1% Are Now Wealthier Than The Bottom 90%

The war on cash is escalating faster than many had imagined. Having documented the growing calls from the elites and propagandist explanations of the “benefits” to their serfs over the last few years, with China, and The IMF entering the “cashless society” call most recently, International Business Times reports that Norway – suffering from its own economic collapse as oil revenues crash – has joined its Scandi peers Denmark and Sweden in a call to “ban cash.” By way of background, as we explained previously, What exactly does a “war on cash” mean? It means governments are limiting the use of cash and a variety of official-mouthpiece economists are calling for the outright abolition of cash. Authorities are both restricting the amount of cash that can be withdrawn from banks, and limiting what can be purchased with cash. These limits are broadly called “capital controls.”

FEMA Camps Are Open, Guillotines Are In Place, ISIS Executioners Await Your Arrival

28 Jan, 2016 by Dave Hodges

Ammon Bundy and his closest supporters are in jail. Lavoy Finicum has been executed by the FBI. Ranchers, everywhere, are taking note. The ranchers now know that this administration wants them off their land at all costs. This administration cannot let any significant opposition develop. A false flag crisis needs to be perpetuated. Dissidents need to be dealt with. The economy is ready to implode. People will riot over food, medicine, etc. As a result, FEMA camp preparations are ready. Plenty of cheap labor FEMA camp workers have been imported into the country .Tthe guillotines are in place. Connect the dots. What is coming? Paul Martin told me, yesterday, that martial law is locked and cocked. Anyone who can leave is leaving. Foreign assets will be used to enforce martial law. Repeatedly, Paul’s best source said it is time to get out now, because September will be too late. I have also been getting much of the same from my sources. Ted Gunderson When retired FBI agent, the now deceased Ted Gunderson, reportedly told a gathering of militia members that the federal government had set up 1,000 internment camps across the country, I had no trouble believing his fema coffins sherrie 1statement because there is ample documentation to support his statement (e.g.REX 84, Operation Garden Plot and now the NDAA). However, when Gunderson reported that the federal government was storing over 500,000 caskets outside of Atlanta, I also knew he was accurate on this point because Sherrie Wilcox found the evidence in the adjacent photo. However, when I heard that Gunderson was accusing the government of storing 30,000 guillotines, I thought he had lost his mind. Why Would the Government Want to Store Guillotines? Gunderson told various patriot groups that the guillotines were being stored for the day that the government declares martial law and moves in to round up and execute American dissenters. Gunderson prophetically told patriot groups that the federal government was going to keep track of all of us. The last statement has indeed proven accurate given the recent Snowden/NSA scandal. Can somebody please explain to me why the government would need to order 30,000 guillotines? For what legitimate purpose could these tools of execution be utilized? The guillotine has never been used inside of the United States. The United States has executed people by firing squad, hanging, the electric chair and lethal injection. The US has never executed a convicted criminal through the use of the guillotine. Given these facts, then why is this government importing 30,000 guillotines as Gunderson claimed? Oh, I know that some of the sheep are now looking up from the ground and have just said “there aren’t are any guillotines in the United States.” Then please tell me, sheep of America, why did Representative Doug Teper, of the Georgia Legislative Assembly (Democrat) introduced a bill which will supplant the method of execution, the electric chair, with the guillotine back in 1995-6? The referenced bill was Georgia State House Bill (1995-6) HB 1274– Death penalty; guillotine provisions. Certainly, Teper would have never thought that this was possible is there were not already guillotines inside of the United States. An Efficient Killing Machine Has anyone bothered to do the math? A single guillotine reportedly can chop off the heads of about 100 people per hour. In one hour, the federal government has the capacity to execute as many as three million people. In one ten hour day, 30 million people could be executed by way of the guillotine. Other Alphabet Soup Agents Speak Out Ted Gunderson is not the only former alphabet soup agent to tell all about guillotines. The late Bill Pawelec, ex-CIA, was a close friend of mine and eventually became the significant other of the News Director for The Common Sense Show, Annie DeRiso. Pawelec told both Annie and I on several occasions that guillotines were being stored on several military bases. The late A.C. Griffith, ex-NSA, said the same on more than one occasion on my talk show. In light of these confirmations from known and from public sources, as well as the proposed legislation of Rep. Teper to introduce the use of guillotines on American soil, I believe that there is no question that the story is true. I get understandably nervous, at the prospect of guillotines on American soil, as I watch the endless series of beheadings of Christians in the Middle East by the radical ISIS. The following represents a small sample size of what is happening to Christians and their subsequent mass beheadings at the hands of ISIS. Islamic State terrorists in Iraq beheaded four Christian kids who refused to renounce their faith and become Muslim. More than 250000 Christians have fled Northern Iraq amidst ISIS … to Islam or death by beheading, the children chose to follow Jesus… National spokesman for Iraqi Christians and Chaldean-American … out by ISIS militants in Iraq now includes shocking beheadings of children, … A British female who did convert to Islam recently threatened to behead Christians “with a blunt knife,” according to the Daily Mail. Even Christians who convert to Islam get beheaded. Is the political climate ripe for this to occur inside the United States? President Barack Hussein Obama was criticized by human rights activists for not addressing the plight of Christians and other minorities during his talks with leaders in Saudi Arabia, where Christianity is banned. Further, the Bible speaks to the use of beheadings as a religious tool of subjugation. Complicity by silence is how I would characterize this President’s view of these events. Where Is All of This Headed? Revelation 20:4 As you read the following two paragraphs, there is a collision between two cultures and two religions which is already underway and religious dogma is serving to perpetuate and exacerbate the conflict. 4 “Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years”. And who will behead these Christians? Take a look at Sura (chapter) 47 contains the ayah (verse): “When you encounter the unbelievers …. [26] He and his followers beheaded opponents, Christian and Muslim alike…” Sura 8 [al-Anfal]:12 states “I will cast dread into the hearts of the … caliphs beheaded tens of thousands of Christians (admittedly many of them … This is the justification for ISIS to be performing these heinous acts against Christians. It is clear that both Christianity and Islam foretells a time when non-believing infidels (i.e. Christians) will be beheaded by radical Muslim extremists (i.e. ISIS). It is also clear that this prophecy is being fulfilled in our time. Will these acts be carried out on American soil and against American Christians and Jews? The following does not specifically speak to the intended persecution of Christian and Jews, but the playing field to do such a thing has clearly been established. Every American should be outraged by the following references to FM 39.40 which provides the means to carry out such heinous acts: Pastor Walt Mansfield’s “Insider” Revelations More proof that Christianity is being systematically destroyed comes to us in the form of the National Emergency Centers Act or HR 645 which mandates the establishment of “national emergency centers” to be located on military installations for the purpose of to providing “temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster,” according to the bill. The legislation also states that the camps will be used to “provide centralized locations to improve the coordination of preparedness, response, and recovery efforts of government, private, and not-for-profit entities and faith-based organizations”. The bill also provides that the camps can be used to “meet other appropriate needs”, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security. This a carte blanche mandate that many fear could mean the forced detention of American citizens in the event of widespread rioting following a national emergency or a total economic collapse. Hence, we now have the Clergy Response Team run under the auspices of DHS. On December 9, 2014, I conducted an exclusive phone interview with Pastor Mansfield who was recruited to become a member of the Clergy Response Team which would operate under the control of NOVAD and DHS. Mansfield’s revelations about his experiences are stunning and concerning at the same time. Pastor Mansfield attended several briefings and he could barely believe his ears. He learned of the government’s plan to enact martial law as well as to implement forced population relocations. Mansfield emphasized that when martial law is enacted, the enforcement would be immediate. In other words, family members will be separated from each other and part of the training that the clergy received was how to comfort separated family members. Pastor Mansfield emphasized that the FEMA/DHS drills were predicated on bioterrorism. The pastors were trained to go to homes were people refused to be relocated by the authorities and their immediate job was to convince the reluctant to willingly go to the relocation camps. Ostensibly, this was to be done in lieu of sending in the SWAT teams. I asked Mansfield if FEMA camps were real and he stated that much of the clergy training focused around this scenario of pastors operating within the forced relocation centers. The main goal of a pastor assigned to a FEMA was to bring order and encourage compliance with DHS requests, hence, the emphasis on Romans 13. The pastors were forced to sign non-disclosure. Interesting, the pastors were told not to quote Christian Scripture. The DHS document which was prepared for the pastors clearly stated that Scripture had been used to “oppress” people in the past and the presenters strongly discouraged the its use. Please see the following excerpt from one of the DHS training manuals: Healing Scripture and Prayer In the Pastoral Crisis Intervention “During a time of crisis people do go through a “crisis of faith.” Sometime quick mention of God and scripture may not be helpful. As we all know the Scripture has been used to oppress, dominate and at the same time used for healing and reconciliation- renewing of relationship with God and people. If the pastor senses it is appropriate to use the scripture and prayer, it must carefully be done for healing of victims not to uphold pastoral authority.” (Page 14) In other words, all legitimate pastoral authority was abrogated by the pastors who participated in the roundup of American citizens. Also on page 14 of the same training document, pastors were admonished to avoid “Unhealthy God talk….” Specifically pastors are ordered to avoid using references to God when helping people cope with the loss of a loved one: “4. God must have needed him/her more than you.” “5. God never gives more than we can handle.“ Pastor Mansfield also revealed that pastors will be issued badges under the Clergy Response Team program. Any pastor not displaying the badge, indicating that they have been trained under these guidelines, will not be permitted into the established and designated “DHS safety zones”. This reminds me of the banishment of religious figures from Plymouth Colony who, in good conscience, refused to go along with some of the extremism of that day. Along these lines, the Clergy Response Team is also a “Kool-Aid drinking program”. Pastors are absolutely forbidden to publicly to speak about any aspect of the program. If you were to ask your pastor if they are a FEMA trained pastor, they will not likely tell you. Disturbingly, Pastor Mansfield reiterated several times that the number one job of these pastors is to calm down people and encourage their compliance within the people’s new surroundings. Pastor Mansfield also stated that pastors will be utilized as informants. This violates the legal privilege of confidentiality between pastor and church-goer, that is currently recognized by law. All church-goers can no longer trust the sanctity of personal confessions and revelations made to pastors, priests or rabbis’. This one illegal act by DHS completely undermines the Christian Church in America! THIS IS THE ERADICATION OF CHRISTIANITY IN A DETENTION ENVIRONMENT AND IS THE PRECURSOR TO EXTREME METHODS OF PERSECUTION! Pastor Mansfield felt strongly this was the government’s way of removing Jesus from America’s landscape and set the stage for the ushering in of a new-age religion. It is mindboggling to fathom how so many reporters and media types deny the existence of FEMA camps under these circumstances. It is also disturbing that any pastor would agree to participate in a program in which Jesus and the Bible end up on the cutting room floor. Summary We have precedent for the beheading of Christians by radical Muslim forces, we have religious doctrine calling for the beheading of non-Islamic believers, we now have the “camps” where these acts could be perpetrated against American Christians and we have pastors hired to calm the people but they cannot mention Jesus or the Bible. We should all be connecting the dots. People should be able to practice their religion without infringing on the rights of nonbelievers. However, when one doctrine demands beheadings for nonbelievers, then we have a problem. And when the United Nations is mandating that the U.S. must accept 70,000 Muslim immigrants, maybe we should all be paying closer attention. Conclusion I received this email from a nurse on January 26, 2016. Hi Dave, I couldnt believe it- but I verified with our hospital billing department that the billing code for death by guillotine is ICD9-E978… The code would be used for jails billing the Feds for serviced rendered… Sometimes, conclusions simply write themselves. And of course, we can accurately say that there will be shortage of workers for this endeavor given the Refugee/Resettlement Program. As Steve Quayle recently said on The Common Sense Show, we are no longer writing about what is coming, what is coming is already here.

According to 4 major biblical prophets something truly terrifying is coming our way, and it will hit homeland before the 1st of January 2017… In the virtual realm, software programs are now capable of watching us in real time, going so far as to make predictions about our future behaviors and sending alerts to the appropriate monitoring station depending on how a computer algorithm flags your activities. That is in and of itself a scary proposition. What may be even scarier, however, is what’s happening in the physical realm. According to researches working on human-embedded microchips it’s only a matter of time before these systems achieve widespread acceptance. Chances are you’re carrying a couple of RFID microchips now. And if you are, they’re sending out a 15-digit number that identifies you. That number can be picked up by what’s called an ISO compliant scanner. And they’re everywhere, too. It’s not possible to interact with society in a meaningful way by not having a mobile phone. I think human implants are likely to go along a very similar route. It would be such a disadvantage to not have the implant that it essentially becomes not optional. Your initial reaction to this idea may be one of disbelief. There’s no way society would accept such a device. Why would anyone want to implant this in their body? Consider for a moment where we are right now. For decades Americans rejected the notion that they would submit to being tracked or recorded. Yet, just about every American now carries a mobile phone. They’re so prevalent, in fact, that many consider it a “right,” prompting the government to actually provide subsidies to those who can’t afford one on their own. Embedded in every one of those phones is an RFID chip that can track our every movement via GPS or cell tower triangulation. Moreover, those microphones and cameras that come standard on every phone can be remotely activated by law enforcement surveillance systems, a capability that has existed since the early 2000’s. But as intrusive as these devices are, they are accepted as the norm by billions of people world wide. Not only that, but no one had to “force” them on us. We are, it seems, the masters of our own enslavement. And we pay top dollar to have the best tracking device money can buy! Granted, one can simply disconnect from “the grid” by throwing away their cell phone. But, the direction these new monitoring technologies are moving coupled with continued government expansion of surveillance suggests that microchip RFID technology will eventually be non-voluntary. Michael Snyder of The Truth Wins asks What will you do when you can no longer buy or sell without submitting to biometric identification? This technology is going to keep spreading, and it is going to become harder and harder to avoid it. And it is easy to imagine what a tyrannical government could do with this kind of technology. If it wanted to, it could use it to literally track the movements and behavior of everyone. And one day, this kind of technology will likely be so pervasive that you won’t be able to open a bank account, get a credit card or even buy anything without having either your hand or your face scanned first. It’s difficult to imagine a populace that will freely submit to such digital bondage. But as has been the case with the degradation of personal privacy and rights in America, be assured it won’t simply become law over night. First, the technologies will need to be generally accepted by society. It’ll start with real-time consumer based products like Google Glass. The older generations may reject it, but in a couple of years you can bet that tens of millions of kids, teens and younger adults will be roaming the streets while sporting cool shades, interactive web surfing and the capability to record everything around them and upload it to the internet instantly. Next, as we’re already seeing from early adopters, RFID chips will be voluntarily implanted under our skin for everything from access to high security buildings to grocery store purchases. Eventually, once the concept is generally accepted by the majority, it will become our new “social security number.” To gain access to official services, you’ll need to be a verified human. Without verification you won’t even be able to purchase a six pack of beer, let alone get medical care or a driver’s license. Whether we like it or not this is the future. Every purchase you make and every step you take will be tracked by a tiny 15-digit passive microchip, meaning that the only way to “turn it off” will be to physically remove it from your body. In essence, we’ll soon live in a world of Always On Monitoring. Our children and grandchildren – at least most of them – will likely not only submit to implantation, they’ll gladly pay the costs so that they, too, can “interact with society in a meaningful way.”(source) Remember, they do things over time to condition the population into think this is normal. Please understand, you are just a number to the government. A RFID Chip is the governments means to control you for the rest of your life. CC – NBC has recently predicted that in 2017, all of America will be tagged with microchips. They will be implanted to help identify individuals immediately. According to the report, the technology is used to answer one question, “Am I who I say I am?” Some worry, however, that the RFID Microchip will give the government too much power, allowing them to track every move. In some states, like Virginia, legislation is in process to stop this from happening. The report also reveals an RFID Brain Chip that has been developed and is currently being tested on several humans. It was reported that the use of Micro-Chips in Bill H.R. 4872 was located on Page 1014 under “National Medical Device Registry” it tells about a “Class II Device That is Implantable” and yes, they passed the bill. Read Page “1014″ In The H.R. 4872 Read Class II Special Controls Guidance For FDA Staff. With the RFID Microchip they can track the movement of the people that are implanted. They can also control the money and food of the people. It is also reported to be possible to even kill the people that don’t obey. The HR 3962 Bill is an exact copy of the HR 3200 bill in with the exception of just a few words removed concerning the RFID Microchip but the ability to Chip Every Citizen of the United States is still in the bill. Open Bill and Read Pages 1501 through 1510 Read Class II Special Controls Guidance For FDA Staff Read And Do The Research For Yourself … Why You Should Refuse To Be Microchipped Microchip implant in humans have raised new ethical discussions by scientific professional forums academic groups, human rights organizations, government departments and religious groups. The Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs (CEJA) of the American Medical Association published a report in 2007 alleging that RFID implanted chips may compromise privacy because there is no assurance that the information contained in the chip can be properly protected, notwithstanding health risks (chips may travel under the skin).

'The End Game Is Here - It's All Coming Apart' - 'They Knew This Was Coming Long Ago'

January 27, 2016By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

With the global economy now in freefall with almost nothing but the backs of the people of the world to 'break the fall', we take a look at several new videos and stories below that help to prove to us there's no turning back - the end game has begun and the central banks aren't going to be able to kick this can down the road for another year or two. As Andy Hoffman tells us in his interview with Sgt Report in the 1st video below, "it's all coming apart". TRUTHstreammedia takes a look at the very sad facts surrounding America's plummet into depression with massive unemployment numbers turning the former middle class into more slaves for the ultra-wealthy and more layoffs of the still employed underway. As our videographer tells us, the 'elite' knew that massive unemployment and social unrest were coming long ago and have since taken massive preparation to avoid the coming calamities they have caused. The story excerpted briefly below from Brandon Smith at Alt-Market tells us how we should know, without a doubt, that our society is in the midst of an economic collapse. Even more importantly, what should we do about it? As Brandon tells us, we shouldn't allow false assumptions of what some people believe 'collapse' should look like to diminish our response to it.: When corrupt leadership moves from quiet totalitarianism to more open totalitarianism, your society is in the FINAL stages of collapse, not the beginning of a collapse. The U.S. in particular has been slowly strangled with subversive legal directives and political policies ever since the so called “War on Terror” began. However, there are now multiple signals of a much deeper and open tyranny in the works. America is sitting near the end of the spectrum in terms of economic collapse and in the middle of the spectrum in terms of social collapse. While more violent events are certainly gestating and are likely to be triggered in the near term, we should not overlook the reality that collapse is happening in stages all around us. This process gives us at least some time. All is not lost yet, and the steps we take to organize and prepare today will affect how the collapse process unfolds tomorrow. People who continue to ignore the outright evidence of collapse based on false assumptions of what collapse should look like are only preventing themselves from taking proper action until it is too late. Make no mistake, our system is dying. We cannot allow our false perceptions of this death to cloud the reality of it, or our response to it. Over at Zero Hedge we learned that something snapped at the Comex with some very strange and surprising moves reducing the total mount of Comex Registered gold by 73% overnight. With Comex sitting at a record low of only 74 thousand ounces of registered gold, we're told the 'physical-to-paper' gold dilution just exploded and as of Monday, "there was a whopping 542 ounces in potential paper claims to every once of physical gold." How can it be good that there are that many ounces of gold claims for every ounce of 'deliverable' gold? The chart below is staggering. A few days ago we told you about the worsening situation for the railroads with massive terminations due to the decrease in freight being transported here in America. In the new SQAlert republished directly below, we learn that this is also having a devastating effect on the number of engines being used by the railroad industry. Is this another sign of impending collapse? I was told we have shut down and stored over 1700 (RAIL ROAD ENGINES) since Jan 1.2016 system wide, and may shut down a lot more for long time storage. Steve, I was reading your alerts where the railroads are storing their engines. Here is some pictures of our yards in Gillette. They have taken all of the fluids out of the engines and taken out the batteries for long time storage. We have rows of them here. I was told we have shut down and stored over 1700 since Jan 1.2016 system wide, and may shut down a lot more for long time storage. I didn't count them, but I bet there are at least 200 here in Gillette for long time storage. 2 years ago as a railroad we were 500 engines short and couldn't get enough of them. Our coal industry here has also taken a big hit. Our tracks are empty now compared to 6 months ago. Gillette is being hit hard with the oil and coal going down. Several days ago we asked if the new 'ISIS war powers bill' that would allow Barack Obama to place US troops any place in the world that he wanted to do so (including here on US soil) would really be used during collapse and the breakdown of society. With many Americans now having a 'martial law mentality' as shared in this linked story from Susan Duclos, we see the warnings given in this 2nd video of the elite knowing that massive unemployment and civil unrest and the possible total breakdown of society were coming as more solid proof that the elite are responsible for the mess all of humanity is in. Will they one day be held responsible for their massive financial crimes that are leading humanity to devastation? Many Americans who are paying attention to all of this unfolding but who are not financial experts want to know how all of this will affect them. While we certainly don't have all of the answers, this story from Zero Hedge called "The Fed's Stunning Admission Of What Happens Next" gives us a taste of what will likely happen in govt and the business world. As is always, when horrid financial decisions are made by those in power and high places, inevitably it's the 'little guy' that pays the price and as we hear in the videos below, the price will be measured in human lives as everything falls apart.

Toward the Seamless Integration of the Physical and Virtual Worlds

Whether in factories, rail and traffic management systems, or decentralized power distribution systems, the trend is toward networking individual devices with entire systems – a process that is based on the integration of the physical world with the virtual world of data. The result is what Siemens calls the Web of Systems. As this process evolves, it will allow Siemens to help its customers to enrich their existing equipment through the advantages of the digital universe without endangering or sacrificing either data protection or intellectual property. Our day-to-day lives are being filled with more and more devices that let users find out the status of an object via the Internet or the Cloud. Examples of this trend include fitness-tracker armbands, sensors that monitor plants’ moisture levels, and houses that learn to set their heat and lighting to fit their residents’ living patterns. As this process evolves, it is realistic to expect that eventually every “thing” will be equipped with an Internet address, thus opening up whole new ways to interact with those “things.” This paradigm of the Internet of Things (IoT) opens up immense opportunities for Siemens. After all, Siemens is a major player in combining hardware and software – for example, in automation solutions for production, in rail and traffic management systems, and in the decentralized delivery of electric power. All the same, factories, traffic networks and utility grids are a good deal more complex than smartphones and tracker armbands. All are examples of real and virtual systems that have been intermeshed and that often even involve critical infrastructures. Customers in such critical areas have entirely different expectations about safety, reliability and durability than those purchasing a smart thermostat or plant moisture tracking system. What’s more, such customers want to enrich their existing equipment through the advantages of the evolving digital universe without endangering or sacrificing either data protection or intellectual property. That’s why Siemens has expanded the concept of the Internet of Things for industrial applications to create the Web of Systems, meaning systems that are digital, communicate with each other, and can act autonomously. Siemens’ vision is that as this ecosystem takes shape its elements will be managed via future Web technologies that use standardized protocols and languages of the kind that are used for the Internet today. This linking up of the real world and the virtual world of data offers multiple advantages for Siemens customers. It enables them to capture and analyze the current status of a system and its parts anytime, in detail. This in turn yields immense opportunities for savings through predictive maintenance, as well as major potential for optimizing systems. Using today’s technologies from the World Wide Web environment, systems can often be implemented and commissioned faster and more economically. A system’s intelligence can be distributed as needed between real components and virtual systems in the Cloud, resulting in enhanced robustness and customer data protection. Finally, as the digital landscape is transformed along these lines, it will become easier to update systems with new functions, or to update system software on the fly, in much the same way as smartphones and other devices are updated through apps. Why Smart Grids Need Distribution Transformers One of many examples where our Web of Systems offers advantages is smart grids. Until just a few years ago, electric power grids were organized in a strict hierarchy. But today they’ve become decentralized systems. Photovoltaic installations and other renewable energy sources feed electricity into the grid on an unregulated, fluctuating basis, at voltage levels that used to apply only to consumers, not generators. In a worst-case scenario, that can make a grid unstable. So grids have to be given the ability to counteract that shifting environment. One component here is distribution transformers that can adjust independently and cooperatively to smooth out voltage fluctuations within their local areas. But for that they need their own intelligence and communication capability – in other words, they need to be “smart” and networked. And this is where one important difference from the typical Internet of Things scenario comes in. The Internet of Things is connected to the Cloud, and the Cloud is where the data – for example from the equipment’s sensors – is primarily processed. Response times and reliability are often a secondary priority. But in a Web of Systems, things themselves have intelligence. They can respond locally, fast, and reliably, while at the same time drawing on the power of the Cloud for optimization. How to Keep a Secret In order to realize the vision of a Web of Systems, associated software has to be able to understand the data, so it can derive intelligent conclusions from it. And that’s possible only if information that describes the data’s meaning is either already present or supplied alongside it. Human experts can respond to this kind of challenge because they understand the context in which data is embedded. But software has to be told the context explicitly. Yet that context includes important information about the system in question and its associated processes, which in many cases are valuable business secrets that an operator would be very unwilling to deliver unfiltered into the Cloud. In view of this, it is better if machines can draw conclusions themselves, locally, so that the context remains protected. With regard to distribution transformers, for instance, they can assess independently whether to smooth out a critical grid state or whether they will need help from a higher level, thus ensuring a high level of data protection by restricting secrets to local systems. Although localized, this information can nevertheless be used to generate value – for example by using predictive maintenance or developing new services. To make use of this and other data from industrial systems, trains or gas turbines, Siemens relies on Sinalytics. This is a new platform for industrial data analysis that makes it possible to offer new digital services to every customer. Sinalytics processes data from many different distributed systems and their sensors in real time and also supports local data processing directly in devices. The Road to Self-Stabilizing Grids Another advantage of the Web of Systems approach is that it opens the door to a platform approach in which functions can be distributed and installed like apps, and run in much the same way. For example, services can easily be distributed that make the systems environment more attractive not just for Siemens, but for its customers and even their own customers. In such an environment, a distribution transformer could, for instance, run applications for energy-efficient management of neighborhood street lighting. When an update is due or a new function is needed, the software can be uploaded remotely. The smart distribution transformer – a new Siemens development – is already being used in practice for voltage regulation in the low-voltage grid, and is thus a key part of a future system known as an intelligent secondary substation node (ISSN). With its computing power and optional communication connection, the iSSN will provide the possibility for far more than supplying households with the right voltage. It will enable the power grid to cope with additional feed-ins or loads with no need for massive infrastructure expansions. This iSSN is currently being developed further in the context of the Web of Systems project. Its Web connection, for example, will make it significantly easier to commission, maintain, and update it. And each such substation will supply a wealth of data that will make it possible to identify potentially destabilizing grid conditions, thus providing an important additional tool for predictive power grid planning. But a distribution transformer doesn't add up to a Web of Systems all by itself. The other components in the electric network – meters, building distribution systems, photovoltaic systems, electric cars – must also be equipped with sensors, local intelligence, and the ability to communicate. That is already becoming the case. For Siemens, that means new opportunities in virtually every one of the sectors in which it does business. Webs of Systems that are already Operational Siemens is already using Webs of Systems to implement solutions that used to involve a great deal of engineering or installation work. One example is the electric bus charging system that Siemens has installed in a number of European cities. Here, everything from bus electronics and fast charging stations to the management backend systems communicate over the Web in order to coordinate and optimize the charging process. Another example is the optimization of water distribution networks with a sensor network that detects leaks and minimizes pumps’ energy consumption. An important point here is that data integration is taking place in the context of existing control systems. Siemens is looking at similar situations in many other existing installations. The reason for this is clear: customers want the reliability and flexibility that are the hallmarks of advanced digital systems. The Web of Systems can be the essential key to opening up these benefits. Norbert Aschenbrenner / Frank Krull Contact us Write us an e-mail pof@siemens.com

Supermodels pose as the seven deadly sins in sizzling new campaign (and guess which one Kate Moss is . . .) Short film features supermodels reimagined as seven deadly sins Kate Moss poses as lust, with Naomi as pride and Karlie as greed Produced by British fashion photographer Nick Knight and Beats By Dre Will be premiered on billboard in New York's Times Square on 29 January

By Unity Blott For Mailonline Published: 02:50 EST, 28 January 2016 | Updated: 06:42 EST, 28 January 2016

Between them they represent the cream of the fashion industry, boasting ad campaigns for the likes of Burberry, Versace and Louis Vuitton.

But if you needed further proof that they are a force to be reckoned with, supermodels including Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss and Lara Stone have joined forces for a sizzling short film celebrating the career of one of Britain's fashion greats. In a new campaign produced by Beats By Dre headphones, the beauties have dressed up to embody the seven deadly sins - with Moss depicting lust. Karlie Kloss, Jourdan Dunn and fellow models Karen Elson, Mariacarla Boscono and Anna Ewers are also in on the act posing as the seven deadly sins: pride, greed, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth. The short clip, which lasts just 10 seconds, was produced by renowned British fashion photographer Nick Knight to celebrate the career of fashion tsar Edward Enninful who is celebrating 25 years in the industry this year. His career includes stints i-D magazine, W magazine, Vogue Italia and Vogue US where he worked alongside editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. Edward has been teasing his 350,000 Instagram followers with short gifs taken from the video. He wrote: 'Seven sins, seven colors, seven sounds and eight muses (gluttony required two).' It sees the seven deadly sins reimagined as supermodels in a variety of sultry poses, each dressed decadent costumes. While Kate Moss poses in a red encrusted jacket with a red wig and, what looks like a red crustacean resting on her groin, as lust, Naomi Campbell plays the part of pride, dressed in a sweeping Yohji Yamamoto gown. Karlie Kloss is wrapped in gold to play greed, Jourdan Dunn has long green hair to embody envy, and Lara Stone and Anna Ewers languish in a sea of pink to play gluttony. Italian beauty Mariacarla Boscono represents sloth, with Karen Elson as wrath. Each model is set against a different colour backdrop with a different piece of short music, as chosen by Beats By Dre. While Kate, 42, reclines on a throne wearing lacy scarlet lingerie, stockings and a matching wig, Karlie stuns as greed in a golden dress and bangles. Lara Stone and Anna Ewers both pose against in a sea of candyfloss pink as gluttony, while Naomi Jourdann Dunn makes a fleeting appearance as envy. Flame-haired Karen Elson wears a flowing yellow gown as wrath, while Mariacarla Boscono dons a dark blue wig and gown as sloth. Edward told the Telegraph: 'I’ve known Kate [Moss] since I was 16 and she was 14. ‘I’ve known Naomi [Campbell], my gosh, forever. She’s like a sister to me. All the others I’ve seen since they started.’ He added: 'Straight away Kate said, “I’m lust.” She claimed it.' While fans have been granted only sneak previews in gif form, producers are planning a premiere of epic proportions, debuting the short film on a giant billboard in Times Square on 29 January. It will then be showed globally on ShowStudio.com two weeks later, on 13 February.

‘US Destabilized Europe’: Austrian Record-holding Athlete Lashes Out At ‘Idiotic’ Refugee Policies

Washington is destabilizing Europe “on purpose.”

RT - January 27, 2016

Austrian athlete and daredevil, Felix Baumgartner, known for his super-sonic leap from the stratosphere, has bashed EU politicians for their “idiotic” refugee policies in a lengthy post. He added that Washington is destabilizing Europe “on purpose.” Baumgartner, the first human to break the sound barrier without a plane and holder of records for the highest balloon ascent and highest parachute jump, made several posts criticizing Western politicians on his Facebook page. Baumgartner, who is Austrian by birth, but has been living Switzerland since 2012, lashed out against Vienna’s policies, chiding local politicians for their failures in leading the country. “A country where you are fined for fishing without a license but where people cross the border without passports is run by idiots,” he wrote. According to the Local, this quote, which was posted by Baumgartner in a separate picture, is not new and has been attributed to Czech Republic President Milos Zeman. Nonetheless, the athlete went further in a follow-up post criticizing German Chancellor Angela Merkel for her “disastrous ‘welcome’ policy,” which he said is not a solution to the refugee crisis, but rather the source of the “problem”. He elaborated on the issue, saying that police and security forces are “prohibited to talk to the press and express their views on current issues.” Baumgartner then confronted the “political correctness” perceived in the authorities’ actions, questioning the term itself: “Politics and correctness are as antithetical as Islam and Christianity.” The people are “righteously angry” with the migration policies as the future Austria “won’t be the same” as a result of the crisis, the athlete argued. In concluding his two-page long post, Baumgartner suggested giving the Nobel Peace Prize to Hungary’s PM Viktor Orban, who, he said, has done the “right thing” and “protected” his people. He also questioned whether US President Barack Obama, who was awarded the prize in 2009, really deserved it. Obama “killed more innocent people with his drones, than any of his predecessors,” the athlete pointed out. Blaming the US for the refugee crisis in the Middle East that has, in turn, flooded Europe with migrants, Baumgartner added that “America destabilized Europe and there is every reason to think that this was done on purpose.” The controversial post has caused an uproar online, with both supporters, critics, and outright haters posting comments. Opponents accuse the athlete of being anti-refugee and “evading” Austrian taxes in Switzerland, while supporters praise him for daring to speak out on the issue with hard truths. The viral post quickly attracted comments from some politicians as well, with the leader of the right-wing Freedom Party, Heinz-Christian Strache, saying that “the quote needs nothing added. It hits the nail on the head,” The Local reported. Meanwhile, Baumgartner tried to stress that he was not against lending a hand to people fleeing wars, but was rather concerned about his native state risking its sovereignty and its people losing their identity and culture: “It is our moral duty to help the really vulnerable and give them a decent life!! (PLEASE READ 2 times) But the moral compass must not go so far as that we lose our sovereign state and are guided only by feelings. The State has the duty to protect the people and the security in their own land,” he wrote. “We will have to face the question: How far are we willing to give up our identity and our culture and mix them with a completely different religion and ideology? What will happen to our women’s rights when we’ll have to share this land with a culture in which women do not have rights?” the athlete’s appeal said.

This Is Something We Can Never 'Unsee' - Free-For-All Armageddon Or Crisis Actors In Oregon? You Be The Judge!

'Militia' Asked To Sign 'Talent Releases' In Oregon

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

Every day we get more and more signs that there are those who are intentionally pushing America towards a civil war and the disarming of Americans and no where has it ever been more clear than in the sequence of events we'll witness in the videos and story excerpted below. Is this more proof we can't believe everything we're being told? With a lone group of holdouts at the Oregon refuge pushing other Americans to join them, why would a live video that one of the men was making capture a series of events and statements that we can never 'unsee'? When you take a look at the videos below and actually HEAR these men being told they'd need to sign a 'talent release' and then READ the words coming from the lips of one of the men in this story from Cleveland.com, we can clearly see that Americans and US patriots are being set up. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS! First, from Cleveland.com and the few stragglers left in Oregon.: In a video posted Wednesday to Fry's youtube account, defendyourbase, Fry could be seen with a gun over his shoulder while a backhoe operated in the background. On the same video, another man with a gun said, "The media has been ordered to leave. That means they're coming to kill us. They're going to murder all of us, and the medias are cowards." The same man also urges people to join the occupation and shouts into the camera, "This is history in the making. There are no laws in this United States now. This is a free-for-all Armageddon. Any military or law enforcement or feds that stand and don't abide by their oath are the enemy. If they stop you from getting here, kill them!'' While ANP has been reporting upon the breakdown of the rule of law since we launched, especially by those who consider themselves to be 'above the law' and who largely inhabit Washington DC, we all have to be very careful who we're listening to and taking advice from. Anybody who's telling anyone else to kill others is obviously someone NOBODY should be listening to and following orders from, especially after watching the video below. Why would those still left in Oregon be told they need to sign a 'talent release'? Why, once they realized what they were being told, would they suddenly run to cut off the live feed as we can clearly see in the videos below? The 2nd video is the actual live feed from the 'DefendYourBase' YouTube channel and ends just as we see it in the 1st video. We are incredibly grateful to the true American Patriots who continue to strong-willed and peacefully stand up to government tyranny. However, how can we really tell the difference between those who love America and those who may want to harm America?

U.K., U.S. Spy Program Hacked Into Video Feeds on Israeli Drones, Fighter Jets

The program, code-named 'Anarchist,' monitored strikes on Gaza and watched out for a possible strike on Iran, The Intercept reports. Israeli source downplays report.

Haaretz and Gili Cohen Jan 29, 2016 9:20 AM

When Israel launched airstrikes on targets in Gaza in January 2008, American and British spies had a bird's-eye view from the aircraft, as part of a classified program meant to keep tabs on Israeli military operations, The Intercept reported Friday. According to the investigative report, American and British intelligence secretly hacked into video feeds captured by Israeli drones and fighter jets in order to monitor strikes on Gaza, watch out for a possible strike on Iran and monitor Israel's drone technology. An Israeli source speaking to Haaretz downplayed the report, saying that the revelations weren't "very dramatic." "Our defense operations weren't harmed," the source said. "It goes without saying that foreign intelligence elements in the Middle East detect our operations, just like we detect the operations of other states in the region." The classified program, code-named "Anarchist," was run by the U.K.’s Government Communications Headquarters in collaboratin with the U.S. National Security Agency, and targeted Israeli drones from a Cyprus mountaintop. The report is based on documents released by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. The internal GCHQ documents, The Intercept said, included still images from footage recorded by drone cameras, including a series, collected in 2009 and 2010, that appears to show drones carrying missiles. Earlier this month, German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen announced plans to lease Heron TP drones from the Israel Aerospace Industries, noting the UAVs can be armed. According to the documents, analysts first collected encrypted video signals from the Troodos mountain rage in Cyprus in 1998. The spy program also targeted drones by Syria and by Hezbollah in Lebanon, although the bulk of the program focused on Israel. In 2008, GCHQ ordered Anarchist technicians to monitor drones flying over the Golan Heights, the West Bank and Gaza, as well as Israel’s borders with Lebanon and Syria, among other "areas of interest." “This access is indispensable for maintaining an understanding of Israeli military training and operations and thus an insight to possible future developments in the region,” a GCHQ report from 2008 is quoted as saying. “In times of crisis this access is critical and one of the only avenues to provide up to the minute information and support to U.S. and Allied operations in the area." National Infrastructure Minister Yuval Steinitz, who previously served as minister of intelligence, told Army Radio on Friday that the report didn't come as a surprise. "We know the Americans spy on the entire world, including us, including their allies," he said. "Nevertheless, it's disappointing, in part due to the fact that we haven't been spying, collecting intelligence or decoding American code for decades." The latest revelation joins a series of reports on espionage between Israel and the U.S. in recent years. Last month, the Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. maintained surveillance on Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during nuclear negotiations with Iran. According the report, President Barack Obama ordered the surveillance, which received congressional support. Last June, the WSJ reported that a computer spy virus believed to be linked to Israel targeted three European hotels just before each hosted negotiations between Iran and world powers over the Islamic Republic's nuclear program. In 2013, leaked documents revealed the U.S. and U.K. hacked into senior Israeli officials' email accounts in 2009, including former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and then-Defense Minister Ehud Barak.

Report: Iran deploys Hezbollah to get its old ally Hamas back

New mediation comes after Iran failed in its previous attempts to convince Hamas to announce its support for Iran in the Islamic Republic’s battle with Saudi Arabia for regional supremacy.

Hezbollah is expected to start mediating soon between Hamas and Iran in order to reconcile between both parties and bring Hamas, which is financed today buy the Gulf states, back into Tehran's fold. London-based Asharq al-Awsat reported on Thursday that the new mediation comes after Iran failed in its previous attempts to convince Hamas to announce its support for Iran in the Islamic Republic’s battle with Saudi Arabia for regional supremacy, in exchange for Iranian financial aid. According to the report, Naim Qassem, the deputy secretary-general of Hezbollah, has invited the deputy chairman of Hamas' political bureau, Mousa Abu Marzouk, to Lebanon to meet senior Iranian officials, including officers in Iran's Revolutionary Guard. The reported meeting is expected to take place after the end of reconciliation talks between Hamas and Fatah that will start in Doha in February. Although it is desperate for money, Hamas will not easily relinquish its alignment with Saudi Arabia and take Iran's side. Doing so will paint Hamas in the Sunni world as a traitor that collaborates with a regime which is accused of starving Syrian children to death. The head of Hamas' political bureau, Khaled Mashaal, has rejected Iran's demand that Hamas side with the Islamic Republic at the expense of Sunni states in order to receive financial support, especially after Iran has ceased financing its biggest supporter in Gaza, the Islamic Jihad. While Hamas needs Iran's money, Iran strives to increase its dominance in the Middle East, especially as tensions with Saudi Arabia run higher, and improving its relations with Hamas can help it maintain its presence in the Palestinian territories.

Most Americans expect the next great earthquake in the United States to come on the West Coast. But what if it strikes right down the middle of the country instead?

The New Madrid fault zone is six times larger than the San Andreas fault zone in California and it covers portions of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi. Back in 1811 and 1812, a series of absolutely devastating earthquakes along the New Madrid fault zone opened very deep fissures in the ground, caused the Mississippi River to run backwards in some places, and were reportedly felt as far away as Washington D.C. and Boston. They were the strongest earthquakes ever recorded east of the Rocky Mountains, and scientists tell us that it is only a matter of time before we experience similar quakes. In fact, the U.S. Geological Survey has admitted that the New Madrid fault zone has the potential for larger and more powerful quakes than previously thought", and the number of significant earthquakes in the middle part of the country has more than quintupled in recent years. Someday, perhaps without any warning, an absolutely massive earthquake will strike the New Madrid fault. Thousands of Americans will die, tens of thousands of structures will be completely destroyed, and millions of people will find themselves homeless. Unlike on the west coast, buildings within the New Madrid fault zone are typically not constructed to withstand major earthquakes. If we were to see the type of earthquake that we saw a little over two centuries ago, it would be a disaster unlike anything that any of us have ever known. The following comes from WKRN, and it describes what those earthquakes back in 1811 and 1812 were like... Can you believe that in the winter of 1811-1812 a series of earthquakes in northwest Tennessee shook the ground so hard that church bells rang on the East Coast and sidewalks cracked in Washington D.C? The sitting president, James Madison, was even awakened in the middle of the night by the shaking of the White House. In Tennessee, and surrounding states, the early settlers and Native American Indians were terrified by the shaking. Large fissures opened up in the ground, and some witnessed the Mississippi River appearing to flow backwards. It is believed that those quakes shook an area ten times larger than that impacted by the 7.8 San Francisco earthquake of 1906. Some of the giant cracks that opened up in the ground were up to five miles long, and the stench of fire and brimstone hung in the air for months afterwards. Fortunately, the middle of the country was not heavily populated in 1811 and 1812, so the overall amount of damage was not that great. The following comes from Smithsonian.com... The Midwest was sparsely populated, and deaths were few. But 8-year-old Godfrey Lesieur saw the ground "rolling in waves." Michael Braunm observed the river suddenly rise up "like a great loaf of bread to the height of many feet." Sections of riverbed below the Mississippi rose so high that part of the river ran backward. Thousands of fissures ripped open fields, and geysers burst from the earth, spewing sand, water, mud and coal high into the air. Needless to say, if such a disaster happened today the damage would be absolutely catastrophic. This is something that government officials have studied, and their conclusions are rather sobering & In a report filed in November 2008, the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency warned that a serious earthquake in the New Madrid Seismic Zone could result in "the highest economic losses due to a natural disaster in the United States," further predicting widespread and catastrophic  damage across Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, and particularly Tennessee, where a 7.7 magnitude quake or greater would cause damage to tens of thousands of structures affecting water distribution, transportation systems, and other vital infrastructure. Do you remember how traumatized people were when a few thousand Americans were killed on 9/11? Well, how would the country react to a disaster that killed 100,000 Americans instantly? A few years ago, the federal government held a major five day simulation known as "National Level Exercise 11" that attempted to portray what a major New Madrid earthquake would look like... In May, the federal government simulated an earthquake so massive, it killed 100,000 Midwesterners instantly, and forced more than 7 million people out of their homes. At the time, National Level Exercise 11 went largely unnoticed; the scenario seemed too far-fetched  states like Illinois and Missouri are in the middle of a tectonic plate, not at the edge of one. A major quake happens there once every several generations. Could you imagine what that would mean for our nation? In addition to the human toll, financial markets would completely collapse, key infrastructure throughout the region would be totally destroyed, and transportation on and across the Mississippi River would be brought to a standstill. According to international insurance giant Swiss Re, if the 1811 and 1812 New Madrid earthquakes were to happen today, the economic losses alone would be in the hundreds of billions of dollars...

image: http://www.prophecynewswatch.com/images/ads/TFP_freedvd.jpg  A series of big shakes  of the sort last seen in 1811 and 1812  would cause about $300 billion in damage, Swiss Re says. The cost would be double the damage from Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans in 2005. Houses  especially brick ones  would collapse. Buildings would sink sideways into liquefying earth. Bridges might tumble into the rivers. The route of the Mississippi River could change  as it did in the last big quake. People would die, perhaps by the thousands. Being mainly a property reinsurer, Swiss Re didn't estimate the human toll. It is also important to remember that there are 15 nuclear reactors along the New Madrid fault zone. If a major earthquake did hit the area, we could be looking at Fukushima times 15. Scientists tell us that there is a very deep "scar" in the earth in this region that makes the New Madrid fault zone "mechanically weaker than much of the rest of North America". The following comes from Wikipedia... The faults responsible for the New Madrid Seismic Zone are embedded in a subsurface geological feature known as the Reelfoot Rift that formed during the breakup of the supercontinent Rodinia in the Neoproterozoic Era (about 750 million years ago). The resulting rift system failed to split the continent, but has remained as an aulacogen (a scar or zone of weakness) deep underground, and its ancient faults appear to have made the Earth's crust in the New Madrid area mechanically weaker than much of the rest of North America. This relative weakness is important, because it would allow the relatively small east-west compressive forces associated with the continuing continental drift of the North American plate to reactivate old faults around New Madrid, making the area unusually prone to earthquakes in spite of it being far from the nearest tectonic plate boundary. I believe that a major New Madrid earthquake is coming. That is one of the reasons why I included such an earthquake in my novel. Those that choose to live in that region are literally sitting on top of a ticking time bomb, and at some point it is going to blow. Of course I wouldnt want to be living on the west coast right now either. The shaking of our planet continues to intensify, and this is going to cause great tragedies in the United States during the years ahead. The warning signs are all around us. In 2015, the state of Oklahoma shattered their all-time record for earthquakes in a single year, and volcanoes that were thought to be totally dormant are now erupting again all over the planet. A great shaking is coming to America very soon. I hope that you are ready.

'It's A Monster': Massive Sinkhole Closes Part of Oregon Highway 101

by Elizabeth Chuck Jan 29 2016, 8:53 am ET

A huge sinkhole that won't stop growing has shut down a stretch of Highway 101 in coastal Oregon. "It's massive. There's just no other way to describe it," Jared Castle, Department of Transportation spokesman for southwest Oregon, told NBC News. The state closed down part of 101 in Harbor, Oregon, on Thursday night due to the sinkhole, which is the second sinkhole in as many months in the area. The first one opened on Dec. 13 in a restaurant parking lot next to the highway and, like Thursday's sinkhole, just kept growing. The two sinkholes "probably have now met," Castle said, creating one gaping hole in the highway. "It's a monster," he said. Officials did not know how big it was, but said its depth exceeds 60 feet. There have been no injuries or evacuations, and officials have re-routed traffic to a detour that runs parallel to the highway, which Castle says will only add 5 or 10 minutes to drivers' commutes. The sinkholes formed after a series of heavy rains pounded the Oregon coast, causing a landslide north of Harbor and shutting down other highways due to debris flow. etc. and the news story continues..

Texas Economy Collapses - Dallas Fed Survey Crashes To 6-Year Lows As "D" Word Is Uttered

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/25/2016 15:38 -0500

For the 13th month in a row, The Dallas Fed Manufacturing Outlook was contractionary with a stunning -34.6 print following December's already disastrous collapse back to -20.1, post-crisis lows. With "hope" having plunged back into negative territory (-2.2) in December, January saw a complete collapse to -24.0 as one respondent exclaimed, "we expect the continued depression in the oil and gas industry to negatively impact our customer base and result in significant demand reduction." And its across the board with production, employment, and shipments all collapsing... Chart: Bloomberg But the punchline was the respondents, virtually all of whom confirm the recession, and one even casually tossed in the "D"(epression) word: Primary Metal Manufacturing The impact of the continued decline in the energy sector, compounded with several new regulations from both the Environmental Protection Agency and Occupational Safety and Health Administration, is depressing economic conditions even further from 2015. Our top 10 customers continue to indicate declines in manufacturing and new capital expenditures for 2016. Outlooks continue to be adjusted down from six months ago, and we are seeing several foundry closings in our industry due to the state of our industry and strong offshoring projects. Our projected increase in business is related to market-share gains at the expense of our main competitor (foreign owned) who is having service problems. Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing We expect the continued depression in the oil and gas industry to negatively impact our customer base and result in significant demand reduction. I believe that if the stock market continues to deteriorate, spending on housing replacement products will decrease. Large purchases on housing seem to parallel consumers’ 401k performance. It is getting pretty ugly, and the strength of the dollar is really making us noncompetitive. Machinery Manufacturing The continued downturn in the energy sector and its impact on oilfield services companies is brutal and financially punishing, leading to significant reductions in our labor force and facility closures. Seasonally, it is a slower time of the year currently. There aren’t any indicators of any big change in the next six months. Our increases in volume do not stem as much from ideal economic conditions as much as from breadth of development in multiple states. Brand expansion and awareness are more of the catalyst than the typical industry indicators. Our customers in Texas are experiencing significant decreases in business volume. As a whole, I would rate the economic conditions in Texas and many other parts of the country as poor. Oil and gas prices and their impact on capital spending by our customers continue to be our biggest concern. I expect the Fed to recognize the weakness in the economy and the fact that we are in recession and drop interest rates again.Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing Demand slowed more quickly than is typical in December. Early demand is weaker in January, leading to the belief that growth in 2016 may be elusive.It is time for Congress and the president to work on tax reform. Small businesses, especially in manufacturing, are suffering due to the high dollar, high taxes, and regulations. Transportation Equipment Manufacturing The drop in offshore oil production globally affects helicopter flight activity, reducing equipment turnover from large fleet operators. Our outlook is contingent on the energy sector not completely ruining budgeting activity for most Texas municipalities. If that happens, the six-month outlook may turn negative. Our business is cyclical, with our main selling season happening in March through June. Our production will increase during the winter months in anticipation of the spring selling season. Food Manufacturing Domestic sales have softened across our channels and category. The strong dollar remains a challenge to our export business. Agricultural raw material costs have decreased, helping with other cost challenges. Apparel Manufacturing July will be when we start getting busy for our Christmas shipments. Paper Manufacturing We see a slight downward bias at this point. Printing and Related Support Activities We are part of a company with four separate, very different businesses. They are all business to business, and they have all struggled with sales growth the past year. We’ve been able to improve profitability on a 1 percent sales increase, but sales have just stalled. Our old customers have shrunk, and we’ve managed that meager 1 percent only by on-boarding a lot of new business. And now cue to the career Goldman banker recently put in charge of the Dallas Fed...

Weapons of Mass Financial Destruction!

Posted January 28th, 2016 at 7:44 PM (CST) by Bill Holter & filed under Bill Holter.

Dear CIGAs, Every once in a while it is a good thing to review something we already know and have known for quite a while. What we’re talking about are derivatives and the very basics of how they work… or not. We have seen massive volatility since the Fed raised rates last month. The humor (tragedy), admitted to yesterday by the Fed, the 4th quarter saw slowing economies all over the world and “Nobody Really Knows Anything Right Now” ! I say “humor” because the Fed tightened rates just as the economy was weakening again. Many have said the Fed raised rates at “exactly the wrong time”. History may agree with this, I do not. In fact, there has not been one single day since the end of 2008 the Fed “should have” raised rates simply because of the massive debt embedded in the system and those pesky weapons of mass financial destruction called DERIVATIVES! Higher rates will only serve as a “margin call” in a system with no margin left! First, derivatives are generally a zero sum game contract between two parties “betting” on something. They can be looked at as a speculation, a hedge, or even “insurance”. For this missive, let’s look at the “insurance aspect” of derivatives as literally $10′s of trillions in gains and losses have occurred just this month alone worldwide. For example and as you know, the price of oil has collapsed. Ignoring the gains and losses directly on oil, let’s look at companies who’s business is oil. Whether it be production, exploration, transport or even “trading”, huge sums of money have been gained or lost depending on which way your bet was. Many oil related companies have CDS (credit default swaps) written against their debt. These contracts have been rising and rising in value as oil has dropped and the possibility of bankruptcies have risen. Huge gains by owners and losses by the “writers” of CDS have accrued. This is just ONE AREA as derivatives are everywhere and written just as bookies would regarding almost anything. In fact, CDS is even written on the debt of sovereign governments …including the U.S. Treasury. Please think this through for a moment, who, or what “company” could possibly perform and payout the “insurance” to someone who bet (and won) the U.S. Treasury would default? Would anything even be open? If the U.S. Treasury defaulted, would stock or bond markets be open? How about your bank? How about ANYTHING (including your local Walmart)! Do you see where we are going here? Now lets talk for a moment about “collateral” as presumably this is what needs to be used or “put up” by the issuers of CDS if their exposure begins to broaden if the contract goes against them. I have spoken many times in the last few years about collateral and specifically the LACK of collateral. Whether it be QE in the U.S. or Europe soaking up too many sovereign bonds or systemically nothing left to borrow against, the lack of collateral is a direct problem for derivatives. You see, as a contract moves one way or the other, theoretically the party who is losing needs to post more collateral. It was this inability to post collateral in 2008 by Lehman Bros. that kicked off the problem. From a broad perspective, everyone is running down the street naked while assuring everyone else they are “insured”. Greece was even aided into the ECU because they claimed their derivative positions “erased” much of their debt, fat chance! In the end, “losers” must pay winners. If losers lose so big as to bankrupt them, the winners will not get paid. Both sides are losers. When this happens on a grand scale, it will be the entire financial system and thus “us” who are the ultimate loser. I have a topic to finish with but want to make a statement, then ask a couple of questions first. Someone recently said to me regarding the trek from 2008 to present, “the only thing that has changed since 2008 is that nothing has changed”. I would pretty much agree with this, the policies in place that put us on our knees are still in place, only being implemented with more force. I would also say the biggest change is we now have more debt, more derivatives and much more money supply. Please remember, the Fed took all sorts of substandard paper (mortgage backed securities) on to their balance sheet. What has happened to all of this paper? Much of it is non performing but sitting in a dark corner and being ignored …because it HAS TO BE! What would happen if the Fed ever sold any of this paper for a true market value? Banks would have to mark their portfolios down, that’s what! One last question, if this “bad paper” amounts to more than $100 billion in losses (it does, probably by many multiples), what would it mean if the loss was greater than the Fed’s “equity” reportedly now less than $50 billion? Just because the Fed does not ‘fess up to the losses on their books …does not mean the losses do not exist. Going one step further in this thought process, if the Fed admitted to these losses, they would be admitting to a negative net worth! Would you accept an IOU from someone you knew for fact had a negative net worth? I hate to state the obvious but, you do this every single day when you accept dollars for payment! One last topic and I’m not 100% positive what it means. Silver flash crashed last night and the morning fix came in .84 cents below where spot was quietly trading on the LBMA http://www.bulliondesk.com/silver-news/update-silver-market-disarray-after-benchmark-priced-far-below-spot-rate-108129/  ! My initial reaction was someone needed to “settle” a trade and the price had to be below $14 in order to not trigger something. In fact, it is being said that this anomalous “fix” will not be reversed but will instead stand. Why would this be? Why, if it was a “mistake” would it not be fixed? After a five mile afternoon ride to ponder this, I can only come up with two viable scenarios. Scenario A. as I just mentioned above, it is possible some bank, broker or other entity needed to “settle” some sort of contract UNDER $14. It is possible this fishy fix enabled someone to close a short without any pain. It may have been an “accommodative” trade so to speak. Scenario B. this may have been “margin liquidation” meaning someone was long silver but received a margin call from another market that needed to be met and very sloppily liquidated all at once. This is not normally how trades are done but if it was a forced sale, the action is possible. We have had huge volatility in so many other markets, it is certainly possible this was a forced sale. The one thing I am quite sure of since backwardation now rules the day in London, this was not a “cash” fix. I am quite sure it was a paper contract “fix”. Why else is China so hell bent on creating a “cash only” exchange? Because China knows! It is important to understand we will see things going forward we never expected or ever dreamed of. What started to happen in 2008 where counterparties lost trust in each other is exactly where we are headed again. Central banks stepped in to restore trust, I am not so sure they have enough credibility or goodwill left to turn a far larger credit tsunami than 2008. The credit bubble is again unwinding like 2008 with no White Knights large enough or credible enough to restore confidence once broken. All I can say is “gee, what rocket scientist could have figured out the greatest credit boom in the history of history would begin to unwind after an interest rate increase”?

Winter storm buries parts of Midwest; sets off tornadoes in Deep South

By Ed Payne and Steve Almasy, CNN Updated 8:41 AM ET, Wed February 3, 2016

(CNN) Sure it's the Midwest, but every once in a while a storm comes along that tests the hardy folks of America's heartland. Blizzard conditions slowly subsided across parts of Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota and Minnesota overnight as the snow ended and the roaring winds began to calm. The same storm system also slammed the South. Severe weather peppered the region at the end of an usually warm winter day. But it was central and eastern Nebraska that took the brunt. Up to 20 inches of snow blanketed parts of the state, whipped by winds gusting to 50 mph. A Facebook post from Ashton Jackson in Kearney shows snow drifted about 5 feet up the door to her house. Road conditions were so bad, Interstate 80 was closed from Lincoln to North Platte, a stretch of more than 200 miles. "Road closures in place for a reason. Don't be fooled!" the Nebraska State Patrol tweeted. "Blowing, drifting snow, reduced visibility Travel not advised." etc. etc. Southern exposure Nasty weather also hammered the South, with tornado warnings issued in Mississippi and Alabama. At least two tornadoes hit Mississippi, including in Shuqualak, the National Weather Service in Jackson said. There were reports of damage in Collinsville to a church and several homes, said Dinah Farmer with the Lauderdale County Emergency Management. The National Weather Service in Birmingham, Alabama, said a tornado cut through Pickens County on Tuesday evening. Sky Hallmon, an emergency official with the county, said several homes and mobile homes were damaged. Administrative offices for a federal prison also were damaged, he said. Possible severe weather was forecast for northwest Georgia Wednesday morning. etc. and the news story continues.

It is that time when you shall see this, and therefore, your prayers will be more for your protection than the protection of others. For many do foolish things and go to places without a covering, without an understanding, without a realization of what is taking place throughout the world. You can no longer be like that, you must be aware, you must have your spiritual eyes open, you must be listening to the things that I tell you, for it is extremely important. etc..

Tribal Treason Part II: Turkey, the CSKT and Spreading Islam on the Reservation

Posted on February 3, 2016 | Leave a comment James White NorthWest Liberty News

What we are seeing happen in America is nothing short of an occupation by Islam. You can use whatever euphemism you choose to describe it, but let’s all act like adults and just call it what it is…an invasion. However, this assault on America seems to be operating on multiple fronts. And, as usual, what those in power want you to see rarely encompasses the entire truth, and, in most cases, contains very little truth. As I mentioned, there are multiple fronts to the Islam assault. They have their media arm working hand-in-hand with the alleged terror sponsoring organization, CAIR, while Muslim Brotherhood operatives provide cover from the very halls of The White House in D.C. And, let’s not forget, the very public display of the absolute disregard for our national borders, as “refugees” continue to flood into the United States by the thousands each day. However, while all this activity is openly exposed and being used as a distraction, the real dangers we face on a national security level are not being reported. Attorney Lawrence Kogan is a friend to liberty, the Constitution of the United States and to the state of Montana. He has worked tirelessly to expose all of the deeds done in darkness by those who would like nothing better than to own all of Montana’s resources; basically relegating everyone to serfs who will need permission for basic needs like water. The battle for Montana resources is not the only thing Larry Kogan is fighting for, as he is keenly interested in the national security implications of the sovereign nature of the Native American tribes; as outlined by the excerpt I have republished below. The Obama administration policy promoted the dam transfer as furthering greater tribal self-governance and sovereignty. Our lawsuit alleged that said transfer had been deceptively achieved via a public hearing-free process and procedure, a series of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”)-approved nonpublic U.S. Department of Interior amendments of the Kerr Dam operating license,8 and key FERC regulatory waivers. These included waivers of dam acquisition, license transfer, safety inspection and public reporting and transparency-related regulatory requirements which arguably endangered the public welfare and safety of northwestern Montana residents.9 The lawsuit also questioned the sensitive national security clearances granted to the CSKT to assist the U.S. military services in undertaking uranium mill tailing spill cleanups and rendering software-based logistical support in procuring parts for the Saudi Arabia and other foreign air forces.10 The Obama administration policy promoted foreign entity leasing and investment transactions on Native American reservations to promote economic development pursuant to a law (the HEARTH Act) the president had signed in 2012. This law had been introduced in the U.S. Congress in 2011 as the result of extensive Turkish Government Native American community outreach and congressional lobbying. Our lawsuit alleged that the CSKT and other HEARTH Act-approving Native American tribes were naively supportive of Turkey doing business on their reservations.11 Further, the Obama administration subsequently portrayed the Government of the Republic of Turkey as a cooperative and reliable NATO ally in the Middle East willing to stand beside the United States and NATO to battle ISIS (IS) and Islamic radicals in Syria. Our lawsuit alleged that Turkey could have intentions inconsistent with U.S. national interests. Our lawsuit questioned why Turkey had selected 17 federally recognized tribes to host in Istanbul in 2010, and 2 others for Turkish government officials to visit when on travel in the United States in 2009, especially considering there are 566 federally recognized tribes and 326 Indian reservations. It also alleged that 14 of these tribes, including the CSKT, had reservations located within 100 miles of uranium deposits, nuclear power plants or nuclear fuel facilities, and we have since focused, as discussed below, on how 4 of these reservations are located on or near U.S. borders. Our pleadings logically surmised that Turkey could be pursuing materiel for nuclear weapons.12 In raising this issue, our pleadings were supported by exhibits setting forth actual evidence of uranium mines and deposits surrounding the Flathead Indian Reservation of northwest, Montana substantiated by federal, state and local government reports. Our exhibits even contained Google satellite images based on the longitude and latitude coordinates provided in a federal Los Alamos Laboratory report.13 Our pleadings and exhibits also alleged that, from 2008-2011, multiple Turkish nonprofit enterprises had been seeking greater business and cultural exchanges with Native American tribes to conduct questionable activities on their sovereign unmonitored reservations.14 These activities potentially included inter alia the building of madrassas and spreading Islam among tribal members portrayed as being culturally close and similarly oppressed by the “European settlers,” and for smuggling across unprotected U.S. borders putative Turkish nationals (i.e., Turkish-harbored international terrorists) who pose potentially significant national, state and local security risks and threats.15 In support of these allegations, our pleadings and supporting exhibits provided evidence of Turkey’s known harboring of terrorist organizations such as the Muslim Brotherhood, which had long planned to embed themselves within the U.S.16 They also contained evidence of the related national security risk posed by the Turkish government’s previous lobbying for and the U.S. Congress’ subsequent passage of legislation signed into law by President Obama in 2012. This legislation permits the leasing of federally recognized tribal lands (held by the USG in beneficial trust for the tribes) to foreign entities, including those based in Turkey, for up to 75 years for business, agricultural, educational, cultural and religious purposes; all without USG oversight if the BIA first approved tribal leasing regulations generally.17 etc. and the news story continues.

Don't Be Fooled! A Guide to Fake News Websites

By David Emery Urban Legends Expert

Updated October 25, 2015.

Introduction: Satire is a venerable form of social commentary using humor to ridicule human vices and follies. The Internet is rife with it, especially news satire, or fake news, consisting of fictionalized accounts of current events presented in mock-journalistic style to lampoon politicians, celebrities, and social mores. Satire is only effective if people recognize it as such, however, and therein lies a major pitfall of propagating fake news on the Internet. Users tend to skim texts instead of reading them, missing important clues and disclaimers. The mechanics of social sharing obscure the origin and aim of viral content, increasing the likelihood that fiction will be mistaken for, or purposely misrepresented as, fact. Below you will find a checklist of the most popular fake news sites on the web. Share as needed!

The West Is Traveling The Road To Economic Ruin — Paul Craig Roberts

February 1, 2016

Michael Hudson is the best economist in the world. Indeed, I could almost say that he is the only economist in the world. Almost all of the rest are neoliberals, who are not economists but shills for financial interests. If you have not heard of Michael Hudson it merely shows the power of the Matrix. Hudson should have won several Nobel prizes in economics, but he will never get one. Hudson did not intend to be an economist. At the University of Chicago, which had a leading economics faculty, Hudson studied music and cultural history. He went to New York City to work in publishing. He thought he could set out on his own when he was assigned rights to the writings and archives of George Lukacs and Leon Trotsky, but publishing houses were not interested in the work of two Jewish Marxists who had a significant impact on the 20th century. Friendships connected Hudson to a former economist for General Electric who taught him the flow of funds through the economic system and explained how crises develop when debt outgrows the economy. Hooked, Hudson enrolled in the economics graduate program at NYU and took a job in the financial sector calculating how savings were recycled into new mortgage loans. Hudson learned more economics from his work experience than from his Ph.D. courses. On Wall Street he learned how bank lending inflates land prices and, thereby, interest payments to the financial sector. The more banks lend, the higher real estate prices rise, thus encouraging more bank lending. As mortgage debt service rises, more of household income and more of the rental value of real estate are paid to the financial sector. When the imbalance becomes too large, the bubble bursts. Despite its importance, the analysis of land rent and property valuation was not part of his Ph.D. studies in economics. Hudson’s next job was with Chase Manhattan, where he used the export earnings of South American countries to calculate how much debt service the countries could afford to pay to US banks. Hudson learned that just as mortgage lenders regard the rental income from property as a flow of money that can be diverted to interest payments, international banks regard the export earnings of foreign countries as revenues that can be used to pay interest on foreign loans. Hudson learned that the goal of creditors is to capture the entire economic surplus of a country into payments of debt service. Soon the American creditors and the IMF were lending indebted countries money with which to pay interest. This caused the countries’ foreign debts to rise at compound interest. Hudson predicted that the indebted countries would not be able to pay their debts, an unwelcome prediction that was confirmed when Mexico announced it could not pay. This crisis was resolved with “Brady bonds” named after the US Treasury Secretary, but when the 2008 US mortgage crisis hit, just as Hudson predicted, nothing was done for the American homeowners. If you are not a mega-bank, your problems are not a focus of US economic policy. Chase Manhattan next had Hudson develop an accounting format to analyze the US oil industry balance of payments. Here Hudson learned another lesson about the difference between official statistics and reality. Using “transfer pricing,” oil companies managed to avoid paying taxes by creating the illusion of zero profits. Oil company affiliates in tax avoidance locations buy oil at low prices from producers. From these flags of convenience locations, which have no tax on profits, the oil was then sold to Western refineries at prices marked up to eliminate profits. The profits were recorded by the oil companies’ affiliates in non-tax jurisdictions. (Tax authorities have cracked down to some extent on the use of transfer pricing to escape taxation.) Hudson’s next task was to estimate the amount of money from crime going into Switzerland’s secret banking system. In this investigation, his last for Chase, Hudson discovered that under US State Department direction Chase and other large banks had established banks in the Caribbean for the purpose of attracting money into dollar holdings from drug dealers in order to support the dollar (by raising the demand for dollars by criminals) in order to balance or offset Washington’s foreign military outflows of dollars. If dollars flowed out of the US, but demand did not rise to absorb the larger supply of dollars, the dollar’s exchange rate would fall, thus threatenting the basis of US power. By providing offshore banks in which criminals could deposit illicit dollars, the US government supported the dollar’s exchange value. Hudson discovered that the US balance of payments deficit, a source of pressure on the value of the US dollar, was entirely military in character. The US Treasury and State Department supported the Caribbean safe haven for illegal profits in order to offset the negative impact on the US balance of payments of US military operations abroad. In other words, if criminality can be used in support of the US dollar, the US government is all for criminality. When it came to the economics of the situation, economic theory had not a clue. Neither trade flows nor direct investments were important in determining exchange rates. What was important was “errors and omissions,” which Hudson discovered was an euphemism for the hot, liquid money of drug dealers and government officials embezzling the export earnings of their countries. The problem for Americans is that both political parties regard the needs of the American people as a liability and as an obstacle to the profits of the military/security complex, Wall Street and the mega-banks, and Washington’s world hegemony. The government in Washington represents powerful interest groups, not American citizens. This is why the 21st century consists of an attack on the constitutional protections of citizens so that citizens can be moved out of the way of the needs of the Empire and its beneficiaries. Hudson learned that economic theory is really a device for ripping off the untermenschen. International trade theory concludes that countries can service huge debts simply by lowering domestic wages in order to pay creditors. This is the policy currently being applied to Greece today, and it has been the basis of the IMF’s structural adjustment or austerity programs imposed on debtor countries, essentially a form of looting that turns over national resources to foreign lenders. Hudson learned that monetary theory concerns itself only with wages and consumer prices, not with the inflation of asset prices such as real estate and stocks. He saw that economic theory serves as a cover for the polarization of the world economy between rich and poor. The promises of globalism are a myth. Even left-wing and Marxist economists think of exploitation in terms of wages and are unaware that the main instrument of exploitation is the financial system’s extraction of value into interest payments. Economic theory’s neglect of debt as an instrument of exploitation caused Hudson to look into the history of how earlier civilizations handled the build up of debt. His research was so ground-breaking that Harvard University appointed him Research Fellow in Babylonian economic history in the Peabody Museum. Meanwhile he continued to be sought after by financial firms. He was hired to calculate the number of years that Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico would be able to pay the extremely high interest rates on their bonds. On the basis of Hudson’s work, the Scudder Fund achieved the second highest rate of return in the world in 1990. Hudson’s investigations into the problems of our time took him through the history of economic thought. He discovered that 18th and 19th century economists understood the disabling power of debt far better than today’s neoliberal economists who essentially neglect it in order to better cater to the interest of the financial sector. Hudson shows that Western economies have been financialized in a predatory way that sacrifices the public interest to the interests of the financial sector. That is why the economy no longer works for ordinary people. Finance is no longer productive. It has become a parasite on the economy. Hudson tells this story in his recent book, Killing the Host (2015). Readers often ask me how they can learn economics. My answer is to spend many hours with Hudson’s book. First, read the book through once or twice in order to get an idea of what is covered. Then study it closely section by section. When you understand the book, you will understand economics better than any Nobel prize-winning economist. Treat this column as an introduction to the book. I will be writing more about it as current events and time permit. As far as I am concerned, many current events cannot be understood independently of Hudson’s explanation of the financialized Western economy. Indeed, as most Russian and Chinese economists are themselves trained in neoliberal economics, these two countries might follow the same downward path as the West. If you put Hudson’s analysis of financialization together with my analysis of the adverse impact of jobs offshoring, you will understand that the present economic path of the Western world is the road to destruction.

The Biggest Treasonous Plot In the History of the USA

03 Feb, 2016 by Dave Hodges

Make no mistake about it, this article is about treason. Most of my readers and listeners need no introduction as to the rampant corruption of Obama and Clinton and the entire Obama administrative apparatus. However, when you are dealing with a general public, who has been so dumbed down, it is sometimes necessary to dumb down the presentation to such a degree that even a first-grader could be made to understand the extent of the treason being perpetrated against the American people by the Obama administration, particularly Obama and Clinton. Subsequently, I have constructed a first grade reader analogous to the old “Fun With Dick and Jane“. Have you ever wondered how you could explain the Oregon controversy to your unaware and ignorant relatives, friends and co-workers”? I have the solution to your dilemma. “Kiss” is an acronym which frequently associated with the phrase “Keep It Simple Stupid”. When explaining the state of affairs to the Fox-News crowd, simplicity is your best friend. To the Awake and the Aware In April of 2015, I noted that the New York Times reported that a Russian front company, Uranium One, operating out of Canada, was a beneficiary of the BLM’s land grabs from ranchers and farmers in the American West. In the New York Times story, the undeniable fact was established that Hillary Clinton was a major participant in this plot to sell the stolen uranium to the Russians. Do I have to spell it out for you. Hillary Clinton was a major participant in selling the Russians uranium which could be turned into nuclear bombs to use against the United States. I subsequently wrote another article where I compared Hillary Clinton to the infamous Ethel Rosenburg and demonstrated, in the article, how Clinton’s actions were even more egregious that Rosenburg’s because Rosenburg was convicted of selling nuclear “know-how” while this major mainstream media outlet was convinced that Clinton was directly involved and was a beneficiary of the sale nuclear grade weapons uranium to our enemy. In return, Uranium One’s payoffs to Clinton, in one way or another, ended up helping to fund her 2016 presidential campaign. Interestingly, as Ethel Rosenburg was executed for her treason, Hillary Clinton finds herself more financially enriched as a result of her blatant treason. As I took a greater interest in the Russian’s involvement in Clinton’s run for the Presidency, the Russians took a greater interest in my website according to my analytics. As I have begun to give this treasonous event the attention that it deserves, the number of Russian-based hits on my website have increased over 1,000% on a daily basis. Katy Whelan, the health reporter for The Common Sense Show, is receiving a similar spike from the Russians during this same time frame on her personal website.

One of the issues that liberals and gun control advocates are most loath to discuss is how heavily and effectively totalitarians and mass murderers have relied upon gun registration and other firearms controls to round up “enemies of the state.” Hitler, Stalin, Castro, and Mussolini all seized upon gun laws to punish, incarcerate, and even exterminate their opponents, while permitting their own evil cliques to expand and strengthen the state and party monopolies on gun ownership. Stephen P. Halbrook, an attorney and Research Fellow with the Independent Institute in California, has written a remarkably well-documented analysis of how Adolf Hitler and his Nazi henchmen in the government made private, “unauthorized” gun ownership a capital crime, while using registration records to effectively turn ordinary Germans into instant criminals. Halbrook’s book took 15 years to research and write, and he relied on German archivists and translators to assist him in plowing through original records and files from 1920s, ’30s, and ’40s Germany. The result is Gun Control in the Third Reich, a fascinating, readable, informative and important book. Conservatives, libertarians, and pro-Second Amendment advocates who believe or presumed that Hitler initiated all of the gun controls of the era will be disabused of that misinformation by Halbrook. We learn from him that extensive gun registration and controls were actually implemented by liberal Weimar Republic leaders in the late 1920s. In those days, Berlin and other German cities were repeatedly rocked by violent street battles between Communist and Nazi thugs, with police often bearing the brunt of the confrontations. For example, during Communist-led confrontations in Berlin, one Erich Mielke murdered two police captains, earning his Communist “street cred,” while cavalierly creating orphans. Mielke escaped prosecution by making his way to the Soviet Union, where he remained until the Nazi defeat in 1945. Mielke thereupon joined the East German Secret Police (STASI), where a frightening bureaucracy relied on hundreds of thousands of informers, while internal “professionals” were refining new ways to physically and psychologically torture countrymen whose loyalty to the state was under review. Mielke clawed his way to become director of the STASI in 1957, where he remained a feared and hated presence until the collapse of the Communist government in 1989. In 1931, the Berlin police recorded the murders of 47 members of the Nazi Brownshirts (SA), and 80 members of the Communist Rotfront (Red Front), mostly in street battles with each other. In this sort of environment, German liberals of the day were hoping that gun registration and controls would restrain the violence racking their urban centers. In a lesson for future jurisdictions considering new restrictions on private ownership of firearms, it became obvious that neither the Nazis nor the Communists registered or turned in their weapons. Ordinary, law-abiding Germans did register their legally owned guns. But they were no threat to public tranquility. On October 4, 1938, Nazi police arrested one Alfred Flatow in Berlin. His crime: being a Jew in lawful possession of a firearm. Lawful because he had dutifully registered his guns in January 1932, complying with the pre-Hitler anti-firearm decrees of the Weimar Republic. The arresting police were probably unaware that Flatow won Gold and Silver medals for Germany in the 1896 Olympics. He had also served in the German army in the 1890s. As Weimar leaders were implementing their gun registration initiatives, they stressed how lists of gun owners and registrants had to remain confidential and needed to be kept away from “radical elements.” Less than a year later, Hitler took control of the national government, and his minions did gain possession of the entire national list of gun registrants. The Nazis used the registration lists to identify Jews, Roma, and other “enemies” who possessed firearms, so they could be disarmed. In 1942, the Nazi government ordered Flatow to be deported. This action was protested by some of his Christian teammates from the 1896 German Olympic team, but to no avail. In October he was transported, along with 1,021 other deportees, to the Theresienstadt Concentration Camp. In December, the 73-year old Alfred Flatow died at the camp, of starvation. The Weimar gun control law of 1928 allowed police to deny firearms ownership to any “unreliable” person. The Nazis seized on this language, eventually making unauthorized ownership of guns and other weapons a very serious crime. As the Nazis were consolidating their power in the 1930s, there were two incidents where young male Jews, acting alone, assassinated Nazi leaders. In Paris, a young man shot and killed a German diplomat, and in Switzerland, the leader of the local Nazi party was also fatally shot. After each incident, the Nazis used the Ministry of Propaganda to demonize all Jews, and moved to restrict Jewish access to weapons. The Paris incident became the excuse for sparking the terrible “Kristallnacht” pogrom, where synagogues were set ablaze, Jewish stores were looted, and many Jewish citizens were beaten by brownshirted thugs. On November 10, 1938, the Nazi Interior Department formally decreed that persons defined as Jews under the infamous Nuremberg Laws were prohibited from possessing any types of weapons. They declared that Jews possessing weapons would be subject to 20-year sentences in concentration camps. In the nations and territories invaded and occupied on Hitler’s orders, private gun ownership was punishable by death. The Nazis also moved to control others who possessed weapons. Despite protests, the government banned all voluntary “shooting clubs” (Schuetzenvereine) in Germany. These clubs were popular forms of recreation across the nation, and many club leaders opposed the ban and even expressed objections to the Nazi government. As Hitler was rapidly centralizing and broadening his powers, he dissolved all local and independent shooting and sports clubs on May 10, 1933. Two weeks later, he created the Nazi-controlled German Shooting Sport Association (Deutscher Schiesssportverband), which became another mouthpiece for the Nazi government and, with war on the horizon, a source of males already trained in marksmanship. Though Hitler would declare war on the United States a few days after his Japanese allies conducted the infamous sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, it is a tragic irony that American technology helped the Nazis to identify armed Jews and other potential adversaries with registered weapons. The German subsidiary of IBM (Deutsche Hollerith Maschinen Gesellschaft) provided the dictatorship with its new punch card and card-sorting system, allowing for an enormous amount of data (particularly for the 1930s) to be stored in 600 punch hole possibilities per card. This was very useful to the “census” reports that Nazis were assiduously compiling and cataloguing. In addition to seeking ordinary information about individuals living in each household, the Nazis added a nefarious question in column 22: German citizens had to provide information on their religious affiliation, with Protestants getting punch hole #1 marked, Catholics #2, and Jews identified via punch hole #3. Then, with a simple cross-reference with the nation’s gun registration lists, Hitler’s henchmen easily identified those Jews with legally registered firearms. Earlier this year while in Berlin, I rented a car and drove about 20 miles to the north to tour the notorious Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp. First built as a pre-war facility to detain opponents of the Hitler regime, Sachsenhausen was later used to imprison gypsies (now Roma), homosexuals, prisoners of war, and Jews. About 105,000 Jews perished there, and notables such as a former Chancellor of Austria, the 1935 Nobel Peace Prize winner, and courageous Christian resistance leader Martin Niemöller were held there. German curators and researchers have done an outstanding job of cataloguing the murdered and imprisoned at Sachsenhausen, along with their biographies and individual odysseys during the Nazi era. However, there is no mention of how many tens of thousands of Jews and “irritants” to the regime were identified through the comprehensive German gun registration system that fell into the Nazis’ lap, prior “safeguards” notwithstanding. Is the horrible conversion of the Weimar Republic’s naively intentioned gun registration and control system into an efficient instrument of Nazi evil a cautionary tale for the United States? It is hard to imagine our nation descending into a dictatorship, and the U.S. Supreme Court’s affirmation of an individual right to weapons ownership makes such a nightmare still less likely. But the fact that a Hitler or Stalin could not take power here does not mean that some politicians in power won’t try to further erode Second Amendment rights and other freedoms, toward some “greater good” they define. There are countless examples of liberal efforts to harass and regiment the 100 million legal owners of firearms in the United States, ranging from long-standing registration laws in many states to the costly and heavy handed “Safe Act” of Governor Cuomo’s in New York. Readers of Gun Control in the Third Reich, however, may sense an involuntary chill moving down their spines when they learn of announced plans of the police in Buffalo, New York. Gun control advocates almost always swear that registration schemes and other new gun laws will never lead to firearms confiscation. Surveys indicate that Americans overwhelmingly favor gun safety, yet oppose confiscation by wide margins as well. But recall the alarming report from last fall: the mayoral administration and appointed police leaders in Buffalo, New York declared their intention to descend upon the homes of recently deceased Buffalonians who, as determined by “crosschecking” (no IBM punch card system needed in 2015) were also legally permitted gun owners. Their mission: to remove firearms from the decedents’ homes, while families and friends are still grieving and organizing their loved ones’ wills and affairs. In their plan, Buffalo officials would execute this ghoulish confiscation scheme before families had time to consider whether to apply for retention of the family firearm, or perhaps to make a gift to another relative or responsible party. The United States has remained a free nation because of our federal and state Constitutions, with their definitive separations of powers. Presidents, governors, and now a Mayor of Buffalo have overstepped their bounds time and again, but are most always eventually made to heel by the federal judiciary or by their respective legislative bodies. So, no, we are not heading toward totalitarianism. But in era when the president’s appointees eavesdrop on reporters’ communications, punish political adversaries through the considerable power of the IRS, and collect growing files of information on as many Americans as possible, we must be concerned with the Orwellian implications of blocking ordinary Americans’ access to firearms, while using gun registration files and other personal information for their political purposes.

THE MAP: 'Sanctuary Cities' cross the 300 mark with Dallas, Philly

By Paul Bedard (@SecretsBedard) • 2/2/16 11:44 AM

The number of so-called "Sanctuary Cities" has crossed 300 in a rapid expansion despite public protests and moves in Congress to cut off funding. The Center for Immigration Studies has updated its list to include Dallas County in Texas, Philadelphia, five Kentucky counties and possibly the whole state of Massachusetts as areas where federal law enforcement demands for information and access to jailed illegals immigrants will be denied. Jessica M. Vaughan, director of policy studies for the Center for Immigration Studies, gave some examples of the new cities, counties and states that have joined in the sanctuary movement of denying federal demands -- while also getting federal funding. Outgoing Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, who had long maintained obstructive sanctuary policies, undid them before leaving office in December 2015. One of the very first acts of new Mayor Jim Kenney, within hours of his swearing-in, and after accepting some homemade bread baked by illegal aliens, was to institute a new sanctuary policy. In addition to Dallas County, other new sanctuary jurisdictions include the city of Lawrence, Mass., and five counties in Kentucky. In addition, in December, a committee of the Massachusetts legislature approved a strict and far-reaching sanctuary bill. On Monday, a key appropriations subcommittee chairman, Texas Rep. John Culberson, sent a letter to Attorney General Loretta Lynch to stop funding cities that reject Justice and Homeland Security demands for information and access to jailed immigrants. Vaughan's broad list of jurisdictions that favor illegals over federal security demands is below, from her blog: States California, Connecticut, New Mexico, Colorado Cities and Counties Arizona South Tucson California (in addition to all county sheriffs) Berkeley Los Angeles Orange County Probation Department Colorado (in addition to all counties) Aurora Detention Center Connecticut (in addition to state LEAs) East Haven Hartford Florida Broward County Hernando County Hillsborough County Miami-Dade County etc. to look at the full list click on the link below.

So it begins here: U.S. city 'overrun' with criminal refugees

'We've got 42 languages being fielded by our 9-1-1 call centers'

Leo Hohmann

More than 120 people braved the snow and ice Monday to rally in front of the Missoula County Courthouse, protesting an effort by the Obama administration and its army of community organizers to plant foreign “refugees” into small cities in western Montana. One of the speakers was a woman who moved recently to Montana from Amarillo, Texas, which has been inundated with thousands of refugees over the past 15 years. “Amarillo is overrun with refugees,” said Karen Sherman, who stood and spoke to the crowd amid blowing wind and falling snowflakes. Sherman just moved to Missoula, a college town that serves as home to the University of Montana. It’s a far cry from Amarillo, which she described as a city of rampant crime and cracking social fabric, thanks to the heavy influx of refugees sent there by the U.S. State Department in cooperation with the United Nations. “Our city is failing because of the refugees. We have 22 different languages spoken in our schools. We’ve got 42 languages being fielded by our 9-1-1 call centers, and crime is just through the roof. We need to exercise caution, especially for the sake of our children,” she said. The protesters carried signs that read, “Christian Refugees 2 Christian Nations, Muslim Refugees 2 Muslim Nations, That’s Only Fair,” and “Refugee Resettlement Means Big $$$$$ – No Accountability.” Sherman said Amarillo, a city of just more than 200,000 people, has gang violence that has surpassed that of much larger Texas cities such as Fort Worth. She fears U.S. cities like Amarillo and Minneapolis, Minnesota, could be in line to become the next Rotherham, England, or Cologne, Germany, or Stockholm, Sweden, where mass rapes by Muslim men have gained much attention in Europe. Touching off a rape epidemic Amarillo was recently named the fifth most dangerous city in Texas, according to FBI crime statistics, up from sixth last year. And it has been nationally recognized as having one of the highest rates of rape in the nation. That’s a dubious distinction that Sherman believes is tied to the high number of Muslim refugees shipped there by the U.S. government. “The rape epidemic in this world is becoming pandemic. It’s not confined to one location. Fifteen years ago in Norway, rape was unheard of. Now it’s an epidemic,” Sherman said. “The perpetrators are 100 percent Muslim males. In Sweden, rape has gone up by 500 percent. Stockholm recently had the dubious honor of opening their very first rape center for men and boys.” In the northern U.K. city of Rotherham, more than 1,400 children have been beaten, raped and trafficked in a well-documented turn of events that has gone largely unreported in the U.S. “It was covered up by the local government for fear of being viewed as racist. This only came to light because a journalist decided we needed to know about that, not the government,” she said, referring to the rape scandal that unraveled in England in 2014, when it was revealed by media that gangs of mostly Pakistani men had been sexually assaulting English girls for years while police covered it up for fear of being perceived as “anti-Muslim.” “You can have female equality, or you can have refugees. You cannot have both,” Sherman said. Pamela Geller wrote the field manual for activists seeking to protect their community from Islamic supremacy encroachment in “Stop the Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance.” Too late to save Texas? Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has called for a stop to the influx of refugees, but it’s too late, she said. The program continues unabated because, if even one refugee is present in the U.S., he is entitled under current law to bring in his entire extended family. “It’s called family reunification,” Sherman said. She said America, founded on Judeo-Christian principles of tolerance and respect for one’s fellow man, should not expect people from Third World cultures to share those values. “If people don’t choose to follow the law, you cannot hire enough police officers,” she said. “Whether you believe (in the Judeo-Christian God) or not, your values and your principles were influenced by that. Now we’re asking that these people come here, who have been taught for thousands of years of violence and hatred, and we’re expecting them to come here and assimilate to our way of life,” Sherman told the crowd gathered in Missoula. “This is a dangerous and foolish expectation.” Amarillo has received 5,251 foreign refugees since January 2002, according to the federal refugee database. That's more than half of the nearly 8,000 refugees sent to Texas during that period. President Obama has increased the number of foreign refugees bound for American soil in fiscal 2016 to 85,000. That's a 20 percent increase over the previous year, and 10,000 will come from the jihadist hotbed of Syria. WND reported last week that two groups are working to resettle Syrian refugees in Montana. One group, WorldMontana, is working in Helena and the other, Soft Landing Missoula, is working in Missoula. Caroline Solomon drove more than 100 miles to Missoula Monday from her home in Big Fork, Montana, to participate in the rally. "About four people (from her group) didn't make it because of weather, but we think there were about 125 people on our side and about six with signs calling us 'racists,'" she said. Softening up the soil Soft Landing Missoula is working with city and county officials to bring Third World refugees to Montana while the state's Act For America chapter and other activists are trying to stop that from happening. Soft Landing, like most of the non-governmental organizations working with the government to plant refugees into U.S. cities, is working with churches and faith-based groups behind the scenes to create an atmosphere that is more "welcoming" of refugees. Many of the community organizers have received training or consultation from David Lubell's Welcoming America organization, which was started with seed money from billionaire George Soros. Lubell is a close adviser to President Obama's "New Americans" initiative, which seeks to convert millions of refugees and recent immigrants into U.S. citizens with full voting privileges. The modus operandi used by resettlement agencies usually involves sending a handful of refugees at first and then gradually increasing the influx to hundreds per year. Mary Poole, who represents Soft Landing, Missoula, told KGVO News Radio that many immigrants have settled in Missoula over the past 30 years. She compared the mostly Middle Eastern migrants from Muslim countries like Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq to the Hmong refugees fleeing communist Vietnam in the late 1970s and early '80s. "We’ve successfully resettled a Hmong community, as well as Belorussians and Ukrainians, who are now members of our community and part of the fabric of Missoula," Poole told KGVO. "We’re just working on revamping the infrastructure that has already existed here." But according to the federal database, the state of Montana has not received any refugees since 2008, and only 61 have been sent there since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Montana resistance follows backlash in Idaho Other small towns in the West have similarly struggled to oppose the plans of urban elites to import what they see as the problems of the Third World into their communities. In Sandpoint, Idaho, City Council members voted last Wednesday to withdraw a resolution supporting refugee resettlement, bringing an end to a heated, month-long debate over whether that was a wise move. It had the full backing of Sandpoint Mayor Shelby Rognstad. Cheers erupted from the audience when the newly elected Sandpoint mayor capitulated, asking the council to withdraw his resolution from consideration. His resolution was meant to counter statements from county commissioners and the local sheriff opposing the refugees. Rognstad said his resolution was intended to restate Sandpoint's commitments to "human rights." "This resolution has only served to divide us and this community,” said Rognstad, as he requested the withdrawal. "That saddens me." But others see the situation in reverse. They see nonprofits and NGOs, often flush with government grant money, coming in and stirring up controversy within their once-peaceful communities. In Twin Falls, Idaho, Chobani opened the world's largest yogurt factory and gave 30 percent of the 600 jobs to foreign refugees, and the federal government has plans to send 300 more refugees, this time from Syria, to the Twin Falls area. That touched off a backlash from a group called 3 Percent of Idaho, which organized a protest at the Idaho Statehouse in late November that attracted more than 1,000 people from both sides of the issue. If the past record is any indication, the groups seeking to bring Third World refugees to small town America will not be easily chased off by people with signs. In fact, the pro-refugee Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, put together a field manual in 2013 on how to deal with "pockets of resistance" in the American heartland. One of the strategies in that manual is to research the backgrounds of resistors and identify them as "anti-Muslim" racists. A WND report from May 2015 exposed the HIAS strategy to deride and intimidate any politician or activist who opposes the refuge industry's agenda to change the demographics of a town. The HIAS report, titled “Resettlement at Risk: Meeting Emerging Challenges to Refugee Resettlement in Local Communities," calls for "new tools to fight back against a determined legislator or governor who has decided to challenge resettlement for political or other reasons."

A Forecast For 2016 and Beyond: Will America’s Cascading Collapse Finally Unfold?

Through their Zero Interest Rate Policy (ZIRP) and Quantitative Easing (QE), the Federal Reserve (“The Fed’) private banking cartel and the U.S. Treasury have conspired to rig the system. They have artificially suspended the boom-bust business cycle for the past seven years, but now, with interest rates finally rising, they’ve run out of their “smoke and mirrors” tricks. We’ve just had the appearance of an economic recovery, when no genuine structural recovery has actually occurred. Just a tiny 25 Basis Points (0.25% ) rise in the Fed Funds Rate in December 2015 caused a near full-scale collapse of the stock market. The real chronically-depressed state of the global economy is starting to show. So where does this leave us, as we enter the second month of 2016? There is a fairly well-founded saying on Wall Street: “As goes January, so goes the rest of the year.” If that holds true for 2016, then our economy is in a heap of trouble. Because America’s economic problems are foundational and systemic– that is, created by the mountains of new debt that have been accumulated (both public and private) rather than just the basic business cycle– the magnitude of the eventual collapse that will ensue is difficult to fully predict. However, some of what could unfold can be plainly seen. What are these “worst case” outcomes? In the event that The Fed fails to re-inflate their bubble and prop up the system a little while longer, we will probably experience some or all of the following: Another Global Credit Crisis Bank and Oil Sector Bailouts Further Deep Stock Market Indices Declines Housing Market Collapse Bank Runs and Bank Holidays A Negative Interest Rate Policy (NIRP) A Derivatives Implosion

Digital Dollar Replacement (with recall of all circulating paper currency and coinage) Bank Bail-Ins on the Holdings of Individual Depositors Deflation, then Transitioning to Mass Inflation World War 3 Rather than spell all of these out in detail (since most of them have already been described many times in SurvivalBlog), I suggest that you take the time to do a little research. Start by pasting each of the preceding bullet items into SurvivalBlog’s right hand column search box. Then corroborate what has been presented in SurvivalBlog with some outside web searches. (Don’t just take my word for it. Do the research. Then you can proceed to the stage that Idaho humorist writer Patrick McManus refers to as “Modified Stationary Panic.”) Contingency Plans and Threat Mitigation If you want to avoid the panic stage, then take some proactive steps to mitigate the threats posed by the aforementioned economic instability. In essence, you will need to insulate and isolate your family from these manifold threats through: Getting right with God and Praying Hard. Developing a Deep Larder approach to food storage. Becoming self-sufficient through large-scale gardening and raising livestock. Relocating to a lightly-populated food exporting farming region that is well-removed from urban centers, Arming yourself with modern guns and night vision gear. Stocking up on compact, durable, and divisible barter goods, barterable base metals (such as Nickel coins), and small denomination silver coins. Safely storing fuels for transportation, heating, and cooking. Learning and regularly practicing self-sufficiency skills.

Building (or converting) your home for self-sufficient heating with a wood stove or coal stove. Coordinating security with your neighbors (and acquiring and practicing with the requisite communications gear). Setting up an alternative power system. (At least buy a compact photovoltaic power system that will allow you to recharge night vision and handie-talkie batteries. Those are crucial!) Assembling a hard copy and electronic library of key survival and self-sufficiency references. Staying politically active, so that you can help push our government back to within its originally-intended Constitutional constraints of fiscal moderation and solvency. Getting in shape physically and staying in shape. Developing one or more depression-proof home-based businesses, to provide a second income stream. After witnessing January’s stock market chaos, it now appears that time is short. So set your priorities and get started. The time for dawdling has long passed. – JWR

18 Hard Core Martial Law Characteristics – Some Of Them Already In Action

Martial law is defined as when the “Military government engages in the suspension of ordinary law.” The term martial law is thrown around quite a bit these days and the elements of martial law often gets lost in the conversation. Government critics maintain that this administration is merely looking for an excuse to put the country into total state of martial law and begin to act upon their various “enemies of the state” lists and to ultimately suspend the Constitution. I have got news for the more conservative “Glenn Beck” type of fence sitters, martial law is already here and most of the worst elements of martial law have been put into place and are just awaiting a catalyst. Two Types of Martial Law Although the terms may differ, there are essentially two types of martial law. There is the hard core, very overt from of martial which is not disguised, it is simply brutal and deadly. The second type of martial law is often referred to as a “soft” type of martial law. Word of the day: Prepare! And do it the old fashion way, like our fore-fathers did it and succeed long before us, because what lies ahead of us will require all the help we can get. Watch this video and learn the 3 skills that ensured our ancestors survival in hard times of famine and war. Hard core martial law is most often declared through a series of directives issued by executive civilian authority or most often by the military commander who has just seized control. Martial law which emanates from civilian authorities most often occurs in stages or in response to a significant crisis, real or false flag. In these instances, false flag attacks are often used to eliminate civil liberties prior to the elimination of the perceived opposition. Hard Core Martial Law Characteristics Hard core martial contains the following elements: -mass roundup of political dissidents-dusk to dawn curfews-rationing of essential resources-the seizing of personal assets such as food and water–control over all food and water-the prohibition of weapons of any kind including guns, knives or chemicals which can be turned into explosives–the confiscation of property, homes and businesses-arrests without due process-massive “papers please” checkpoints with intrusive searches-forced relocation-forced conscription into various labor camps and even into the military-outlawing of free speech-the installation of massive surveillance programs and the establishment of snitch programs-the total control or elimination of religion-control of the media-executions without due process of law-total suspension of the Constitution Just how many of these intrusive government policies are in place? The answer will surprise most readers. How Many Elements of Hard Core Martial Law Does the US Posses? As of this publication, the United States is not experiencing the mass round up of political dissidents and dusk to dawn curfews. However, the no-fly lists and the reputed enemies list derived from NSA surveillance activities, are precursor events to mass roundups. Also read: “The Elite Are In a Panic!” Buying Up Supplies in a Rush! Prepare Now or Never! The globalists are not yet rationing essential resources in totality. However, Executive Order 13603 does give the President the authority to do so. I find it concerning that Obama has derailed the Keystone pipeline and is shutting down coal plants. And there is the threat Obama recently made to implement his cap and trade through Executive Order. This is a prelude to the control of all energy. FEMA regulations limit the amount of food and water one can store to three days total. Anything in excess of that can get one declared to be a domestic terrorist. Under Agenda 21 provisions, many local governments place severe restrictions on growing one’s own food. Colorado has criminalized the private trapping of rain water and the reuse of irrigation water by farmers. I would say that moves that state quite a long way down the road to hard core martial law. Through perpetrating various false flag attacks, Obama is doing his best to seize and ban weapons on an incremental scale. The omnipresent property tax, in this time of high unemployment, increases the amount of forfeited properties and results in the increased confiscations of property, homes and businesses. Just the mere fact that the government tolerates the MERS mortgage fraud in which American homes are being stolen under fraudulent circumstances, constitutes martial law confiscation by the very banksters who are running our government. The NDAA allows arrests without due process. The Military Commission Act of 2006, in which some can be declared a terrorist for very flimsy and nebulous reasons, constitutes hard core martial law as well.

On July 4, 2013, the TSA and DHS were on several highways, bus stations, train stations and of course, as always, in every airport conducting a massive “papers please” searches of property and people. These types of checkpoints are consistent with the most hard core of martial law conditions. We are not yet witnessing forced relocation of people in large numbers. However, Obama’s friend and previous mentor, Mike Kulig and his Build One America is working towards a tax incentive system which will eventually turn the suburbs into ghost towns. The Agenda 21 restrictions placed upon farmers has forced many into the cities. A rose by any color is still a rose. The Civilian Inmate Labor program grants the government the ability to forcibly conscript, any citizen, healthy or not, with no age qualifiers, into various labor camps and even into the military. Further, Executive Order 13603 grants the government the same authority. Obama has declared war on journalists as evidenced by the assassinations of Andrew Breitbart and Michael Hastings. In essence, Obama is beginning to outlaw of free speech, whistle-blowing and freedom of the press. For nearly 20 years, many in the alternative media have known about the massive surveillance programs conducted by the NSA and several other alphabet soup agencies. Now, because of Ed Snowden, the ignorant public is aware of the installation of massive surveillance programs which are cataloging everything Americans read, do and say. These conditions were the cornerstone of the East German Stasi. East Germany was in a perpetual state of martial law. And the newly announced Federal worker snitch program to go along with “see something, say something” civilian spy programs are absolute hallmark indicators of martial law. And if this not enough, there are the omnipresent Fusion Threat Centers and Infraguard. The church could have served the purpose of opposing the creeping incrementalism of the hard core implementation of martial law. And to this end, most of your churches and your religious leaders have let you down. The control or elimination of religion is being implemented through the 501 (3) (c) tax exempt status which prohibits churches from making political stands or backing certain candidates. This past spring, DHS authorities declared “Bible believing Christians” to be domestic terrorists. Related article: What Will It Be Like? The Three Stages of US Martial Law and The Signs to Look For Before it Happens The very bankers who desire total control over you have enjoyed total control over the media for at least the last 15-20 years. Ninety five percent of the media is owned by five corporations. Obama, through the UN is trying to take control over the internet which would leave us with a totally state run media. This is a cornerstone trait of martial law. Most Americans do not realize that executions without due process of law have already been carried out against American citizens. The primary targeted individual, Anwar al-Awlaki, was a radical Muslim cleric whom U.S. officials said was involved in planning Al Qaeda operations and terror attacks. Besides al-Awlaki, Samir Khan, Jude Kennan Mohammed and Awlaki’s son, Abdulrahman Anwar al-Awlaki, were executed by drones according to Attorney General Holder. The precedent has been set and Holder has declared the authority to carry out unwarranted executions.

Due to the passage of the NDAA, the Patriot Acts, intimidation through the murders of Breitbart and Hastings, the ability for the government to transfer property from one private party to another private party under the New London, CT. Supreme Court decision, has rendered much of the constitution to be null and void. The only elements that have not yet been acted upon in today’s America with regard to hard-core martial law are MASS roundups and MASS executions. I contend that it is only a matter of time and that the NSA surveillance grid is still profiling every individual to that end. The evidence is clear that soon many of us will not be freely walking the streets of the United States.

We Have Choices Any organism when placed under stress has a built in survival mechanism. A person under stress can engage in fight or flight. These are our two choices. For the sheep who have turned a blind eye to the rampant corruption and the unmistakable fact that we are under hard martial law, they are already dead. It is only going to be a matter of time until they bury their bodies. Every individual has the right to make their own choice on whether to fight of flee. Choosing not to choose is a choice. That is the way of the sheeple. Every individual should decide quickly because time is indeed short. etc. and the news story continues.

Lying-with-numbers in CANADA: food inflation 2 days 2 hours ago

I spend most of my time dealing with U.S. economic lies simply because it's much easier to make my analytical points. There is a lot more data, it's splashed all over the place, and (usually) the lies are even bigger South of the Border, which makes the analytical point more vivid. However, in the month of December, the prices for fresh produce (in Vancouver) spiked in the month of December at the highest rate I have ever seen in my life, almost across the board. Prices rose for most fresh produce by between 10% and 30% IN ONE MONTH, with some of the prices increase even larger. - broccoli from$3/lb to $4/lb, a 33% increase (at the cheaper supermarkets)- celery from $2/lb to $3/lb, a 50% increase- strawberries from $4/lb to $8/lb, a 100% increase But we're used to seeing inflation numbers expressed as annualized figures, so let's convert those monthly numbers to annual numbers

broccoli - 400% inflation celery - 600% inflation strawberries - 1200% inflation Now obviously I do not expect the numbers to rise again next month, or even the month after. So I won't go "Chicken Little" here, and claim that hyperinflation has already arrived in Canada. But, the food inflation rate in Canada is rising EXPONENTIALLY, overall. It was roughly 20% per year, then roughly 30% per year, and (with even one or two more price-shocks) we could easily be looking at a FOOD INFLATION RATE in CANADA of 50%. Now the lies: Cost of food in Canada increased 3.70 percent in December of 2015 over the same month in the previous year. Food Inflation in Canada averaged 3.98 percent from 1951 until 2015, reaching an all time high of 20.18 percent in July of 1978 and a record low of -7.14 percent in December of 1952. Food Inflation in Canada is reported by the Statistics Canada. Now lets compare the lies to the Truth (as evidenced by my grocery receipts). Even if we assume that all other grocery spending is flat, produce spending alone accounts for a large portion of every shopping dollar. I've gotten to know the manager quite well, at the supermarket where I do most of my shopping. He tells me that I'm not alone in having switched away from chemical-filled, GMO-polluted packaged foods, and that a large portion of shoppers now exhibit that similar pattern. From watching other shoppers, I think it's relatively safe to say that those who do not shop in this pattern are either older people (set in their ways) or people who are simply too poor to shop healthier. For a produce-heavy food basket, in Vancouver, in the month of December, overall prices rose at least 10% (and looking at my own grocery bills, it was more likely 15%). We're forced to eat more fruits and vegetables, because of EXPONENTIALLY RISING MEAT PRICES. Thus an explosion in prices for fresh produce will have a major impact on most (healthy) shoppers. Even a 10% rise (in one month) translates to an annual, overall, food inflation rate in December of 120%. And it's hard to believe that prices were not rising at a similar rate in much/most of Canada. Now back to the lies. Cost of food in Canada increased 3.70 percent in December of 2015...reaching an all time high of 20.18 percent in July of 1978. 120% versus 3.7% That is a Big Lie. It just goes to show that in 2016, we here in Canada can now lie like the Americans...

Ted Cruz apologizes to Ben Carson

'Horsesh--!' Ex-neurosurgeon's camp unloads on 'dirty tricks' in Iowa

Cheryl Chumley Published: 1 day ago. Updated: 02/02/2016 at 9:35 PM

Ted Cruz on Tuesday apologized to fellow GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson for spreading a rumor the former neurosurgeon was dropping out of the race after the Iowa caucus. “Last night when our political team saw the CNN post saying that Dr. Carson was not carrying on to New Hampshire and South Carolina, our campaign updated grassroots leaders just as we would with any breaking news story,” Cruz said in a statement. “That’s fair game. What the team then should have done was send around the follow-up statement from the Carson campaign clarifying that he was indeed staying in the race when that came out. “This was a mistake from our end, and for that I apologize to Dr. Carson.” Cruz’s apology followed Carson’s accusations his Republican rivals played “dirty tricks” on him during the Iowa caucuses, saying they told voters he was going to drop out of race after Monday’s contest. “For months,” he said in a statement reported by The Hill, “my campaign has survived the lies and dirty tricks from my opponents who profess to detest the games of the political class, but in reality are masters of it.” The ‘Stop Hillary’ campaign is on fire! Join the surging response to this theme: ‘Clinton for prosecution, not president’ He went on, condemning what he described as the shenanigans of his fellow Republicans in Iowa. “My opponents resorted to political tricks by tweeting, texting and telling precinct captains that I had suspended my campaign — in some cases asking caucus goers to change their votes,” he said, The Hill reported. Carson, interviewed Tuesday on “Fox and Friends,” said his supporters were told “voting for me was wasting their vote, and that they should reconsider.” The stunning charge came as a Carson spokesman declared on Tuesday, “There has never been a more tainted victory in the Iowa caucuses.” Rob Taylor, an Iowa state representative who supports Carson, was much blunter: “This is horses–t,” he said, Fortune reported. He said he will be releasing an official statement Tuesday “as to the potential ethical misconduct of the Cruz campaign.” Carson said his suspicions were also confirmed by tweets, “other correspondence” and a first-hand experience by his wife at a precinct. “It was happening all over,” Iowa State Director Ryan Rhodes told MSNBC. “One of the precincts Candy [Carson, the candidate’s wife] walked into, she had to correct the record. She actually walked in, in Ankeny, and gave a speech about no, he’s still in the race, and that’s a lie.” Carson said his whole reason for getting in the White House race was to fight to stop political dishonesty. Who do you love? Get your favorite presidential bumper sticker here! Check out WND Superstore’s mind-blowing and hilarious selection “One of the reasons I got into this race was to stop these deceptive and destructive practices,” he said. “These reports have only further steeled my resolve to continue and fight for ‘We the People’ and return control of the government back to them.” Rush Limbaugh weighed in on Carson’s claims of caucus shenanigans during his radio show Tuesday.“As a way out of this, Sen. Cruz could simply offer Dr. Carson a delegate or two as part of his apology. Maybe three. Three max. One or two delegates ought to cover it.” Carson also said his bid is hardly on its last legs, pointing to finishing in Iowa ahead of three former governors. “Regardless of how the media has attempted to marginalize me and my campaign,” he said, The Hill reported, “I still have the highest favorability rating and have remained among the leading candidates in every major survey.” Carson didn’t name the fellow GOPers he was upset with by name, but as The Hill reported, Sen. Ted Cruz’s campaign co-chairman, Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, did send some tweets that painted the former neurosurgeon as a quitter. Can the Republican Party save itself? Richard Viguerie has the prescription in “Takeover.“Carson looks like he is out,” King tweeted. “Iowans need to know before they vote. Most will go to Cruz, I hope.” King also tweeted: “#iacaucus Skipping NH & SC is the equivalent of suspending. Too bad this information won’t get to all caucus goers.” Cruz Iowa staffer Spence Rogers also suggested in an email to precinct captains that Carson may be announcing the end of his campaign next week. “Breaking News. The press is reporting that Dr. Ben Carson is taking time off from the campaign trail after Iowa and making a big announcement next week,” the email read. “Please inform any Carson caucus goers of this news and urge them to caucus for Ted Cruz.” Carson did announce at the end of Iowa’s tally, meanwhile, that he was returning to Florida rather than heading on to New Hampshire. But he said he was only going for a brief time; he did not announce an end to his presidential run. CNN reported Carson was headed to Florida “for some R&R,” instead of going to New Hampshire and South Carolina. Many in both parties saw this as evidence of Carson winding down his struggling campaign. But Carson told Fox News on Tuesday morning that Cruz supporters and representatives took that narrative a step further and began telling caucus-goers at “many” precincts that he was dropping out.

Team Cruz quickly texted supporters in Iowa: “CNN is reporting that Ben Carson will stop campaigning after Iowa. Make sure to tell all of your peers at the caucus.” The caucus process allows supporters of one candidate to be persuaded to change sides before casting their ballot. Carson ended up finishing a distant fourth in Iowa, with 9 percent, while Cruz claimed a big victory over Donald Trump. Cruz, a Texas senator, had 28 percent, and Trump had 24 percent. Cruz’s campaign, meanwhile, called the accusations groundless. “That’s absurd,” said Cruz campaign spokesperson Catherine Frazier, Forbes reported. On Tuesday morning, Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler tried to defend the campaign against the “false” allegations, telling MSNBC that the campaign simply repeated what Carson had said: that after Iowa, he was returning to Florida for a couple of days, then going to Washington for the National Prayer Breakfast. “That told us he was not going to New Hampshire,” Tyler said. “That was not a dirty trick.”

World Going into Nasty Depression-Hugo Salinas Price

By Greg Hunter On February 3, 2016 In Market Analysis

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com

Billionaire retail magnate Hugo Salinas Price says the world debt has peaked and has no place to go but down. Salinas Price explains, “It is a global phenomenon, yes. The world has too much debt, and now it’s trying to get out of debt. That’s what’s going on. . . . The debt peaked in August of 2014. I’ve been watching this for 20 years, and I have never seen anything like it. It was always growing, and now something has changed. A big change of this sort is an enormous event. I think it portends a new trend, and that trend will be to get out of debt. Deleverage and pay down debt. That is, of course, a contraction. Contraction means depression. The world is going into a depression. It’s going to get very nasty. The end result is nations, governments are going to have to revalue gold because that is the only thing they will have left. They will have to resort to that to keep trade coming in. No country is completely independent economically. We all need things others produce. . . . In order to have that world trade going, we are going to have to go back to gold. That’s my vision anyway.” Salinas Price also says, “We are now in the contraction phase. When I call a debt on somebody, that party is going to call in the debts to him . . . and there is a cycle going on where everybody is going to try to collect from everybody else. So, it reinforces itself. When we come to the end of this contraction phase, we’re going to find a world where there is no other recourse but to revalue gold so that it makes debts payable. It makes money much smaller and less weight. Then we will have a lot of gold money that has gone up in value. Some people say (gold will be repriced to) $8,000 per ounce. Some people say it will be $10,000 per ounce, and others are going as far as $50,000 per ounce. I don’t know what the value of gold will be, but it will have the effect of diminishing the weight of debt on the world. I don’t know when this will take place, but I think that is coming, and it has to come. That will be the outcome of this century of inflation we have had. I think we are approaching a revaluation of gold.” Another big component of gold revaluation is a global default in debt. Salinas Price contends, “When everyone has defaulted, then where do we go from there? The only thing will be to revalue gold. There is 183,000 tons of gold, at least, in the world. Some people think there is a lot more that 183,000 tons in the world. When gold is revalued officially, all gold is revalued. It’s not just the gold in central bank reserves. The gold on your finger, your wedding ring, becomes a lot more because gold has been revalued. This will give people the wherewithal to start over again. . . . Silver will go up with gold. Silver will also be revalued.” Join Greg Hunter as he goes One-on-One with Mexican billionaire Hugo Salinas Price.

Nerves rattled after fire set at Ethiopian Orthodox Church in Seattle

By Lee Stoll Tuesday, February 2nd 2016

SEATTLE -- Police are investigating a fire that appears to have been intentionally set at a church in South Seattle Tuesday morning. A priest with the Ethiopian Orthodox church on Martin Luther King Way near Holly Street said the church's fire alarm went off around 7:30 a.m. He investigated to find a scarf on their front door that was on fire. Flames then scorched part of the door and the exterior ceiling. The priest said when they have services, they hang a scarf on that door to prevent it from locking so people can get in and out. But no one else was at the church at the time of the fire, and there was no other damage. The priest said the church has been there for years and has never had a problem. Arson investigators are investigating the fire, but say at this point, they don't believe the church was specifically targeted or that anyone was trying to burn the church down.

Rev. Graham: ‘America Is Being Systematically Stripped of its Christian Heritage’ By Politicians ‘Hostile to Christianity’

By Michael W. Chapman | February 2, 2016 | 11:48 AM EST

Secularism has infiltrated our government, schools, and society to such a vast extent that it is stripping America of its “Christian heritage,” and replacing it with “a worldview that embraces atheistic humanism and is devoid of biblical values,” said Rev. Franklin Graham, son of world-renowned preacher Billy Graham. This godless agenda is being pushed by “government, politicians, and judges who are openly hostile to Christianity,” said the reverend, who added that our nation needs to repent and “to pray,” and support “leaders who fear and follow God.” “When the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 and communism in Europe was defeated, a new and subtle threat began to emerge – secularism,” says Rev. Graham in his February commentary for Decision magazine. “Year by year, the steady rise of secularism has infiltrated and overtaken the influential halls of government and education,” he said. “As godless as communism, secularism now prevails and dominates in almost every sector of society and culture.” “Its goal is to remove all vestiges of Christianity from the public square and to replace it with a worldview that embraces atheistic humanism and is devoid of biblical values,” said the reverend. “Make no mistake,” he continued, “America is being systematically stripped of its Christian heritage by government, politicians and judges who are openly hostile to Christianity.” In America today, “immorality is flagrant,” said Rev. Graham. “The family unit is in shambles. Sin is celebrated. Violence is a plague. Greed and idolatry are rampant.” “Like the walls of Jerusalem that were burned and destroyed by its enemies, the once well-built moral walls of our nation have been stormed and battered by the secular powers of our age,” he said. “The longstanding restraint that the church has provided for our culture to every manner of sin is under relentless assault,” he said. “Secularists and progressives would like for that restraint to be dismantled and removed altogether.” To help counter this destruction, Rev. Graham is calling on Americans to turn back to God in repentance and to pray. He also is urging people to get involved and support “leaders who fear and follow God.” Otherwise, “we will allow godless candidates to continue to steer our country into moral anarchy and open rebellion against God and His ways.” “Our nation is in trouble,” he said, and unless we follow “Almighty God, we will no longer see His hand of blessing on our great country.”

Raymond Ibrahim: U.S. Military Denies ISIS Targets Christians

February 1, 2016 11:46 pm By Raymond Ibrahim

After a 1,400-year-old Iraqi Christian monastery was recently destroyed by the Islamic State (ISIS) most of the world condemned the demolition — except for spokesman for the U.S. military’s Operation Inherent Resolve, Col. Steve Warren. “Thousands [of Iraqi Christians] have been killed, hundreds of thousands have been forced to flee,” noted CNN’s Wolf Blitzer in an interview with Col. Warren last week. “There is legitimate fear – you’re there in Baghdad – that the long history of Christians living peacefully, productively in Iraq, is coming to an end. How worried should we be about the Christian community in Iraq?” The response: “Wolf, ISIL doesn’t care if you’re a Christian … We’ve seen no specific evidence of a specific targeting towards Christians.” Wrong: Roughly two-thirds of Iraq’s 1.5 million Christian citizens have been killed or forced to flee the country by ISIS and its jihadi predecessors over the past decade—and this has everything to do with their religious identity. In Iraq and everywhere else it has conquered, ISIS has, at a minimum, rigorously enforced on pain of death Islam’s dhimmi laws, which require Christians to pay extortion money (jizya) and agree to live by a set of degrading rules. Often, ISIS fighters skip these formalities and simply torture to death Christians who refuse to convert to Islam, sometimes releasing the footage online for propaganda purposes. Most notable are two videotaped mass executions of 21 Egyptians and 30 Ethiopians in Libya last spring, but there have been many lesser-known cases. When a group of Iraqi Christian children refused to renounce Christ in 2014, saying “No, we love Jesus,” ISIS decapitated and mangled their bodies. Last summer in Aleppo, Syria, ISIS tortured, mutilated, publicly raped, beheaded and crucified 12 Christians for refusing to convert. Escaped eyewitnesses have reported ISIS places Iraqi and Syrian Christians in cages or coffins and sets them on fire. ISIS has frequently kidnapped Christians and demanded ransom payments for their release, often forcing female captives into sexual slavery. A 12-year-old girl, raped by an Islamic State fighter, was told that “what he was about to do was not a sin” because she “practiced a religion other than Islam.” ISIS has even sent operatives disguised as refugees into U.N. refugee camps in Jordan to kidnap young Christian girls to sell or use as slaves. The Islamic State is committed to expunging all physical traces of Christianity in areas it conquers, demolishing dozens of ancient churches—in Syria alone, up to 400 churches have been destroyed since the war—not to mention countless crucifixes, statues, graves, and other relics. It ordered the University of Mosul to burn all books written by Christians and decreed that all schools in Mosul and the Nineveh Plain that bore Christian names (some since the 1700s) be changed…

Strange Cannibalistic Attacks Increasing Across The World

February 2, 2016 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

If we look at the definitions of both Vampirism and Cannibalism we note that one focuses on the consumption of blood while the other deals with consuming flesh, yet a recent spate of attacks where no blood consumption was involved but biting was, is being referred to as "vampire-like" attacks rather than cannibalistic attacks. Cannibalism: the eating of human flesh by another human being Clinical Vampirism: is an obsession with drinking blood

Jeremiah 19:9 - "I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and daughters, and they will eat one another's flesh during the stress of the siege imposed on them by the enemies who seek their lives."

The most recent spate of attacks occurred in New Zealand’s North Island, where in three different incidences there are reports of women going around biting other people, in one case a women bit a mans neck so hard her teeth cut through an artery. In another incident a woman was arrested after allegedly "chomping on a woman’s ear," with the damage bad enough that it required medical attention. These attacks followed a previous attack where a violent family encounter resulted in another report of someone being bitten. (Source) In the report linked above a police spokesperson described these rash of attacks as "a little bit weird," with another report from Breitbart stating the police "said the mounting number of biting incidents isn’t a coincidence." A quick search shows us that elsewhere, reports of "cannibalism" and biting incidents is have been in the news with increasing frequency over the last decade. In Edmenton, Canada, we see a report from December 2015 of a woman acting strangely, trying to strangle a dog and biting another women, while in October 2015 a British DJ was attack by what was described as "growling cannibal" that savagely beat him and bit his face. (Video below) In July 2015, In Peoria, IL, a woman climbed through another woman's window and attacked her, biting her back multiple times and her forearm when she attempted to fend her attacker off. .... After the blows to the head, Red went shark-style, biting Donna on the back repeatedly. Donna flipped over to defend herself. But Red, striking as fast as a viper, bit her on the forearm. Tired of all those teeth, Donna managed to wiggle away and flee the residence. She ran a block east, to a house in the 1600 block of South Westmoreland Avenue. There, Donna asked the homeowner to borrow his phone to call police. Officers arrived to witness swollen bumps on her left temple and right forehead, plus a bite mark on an forearm and multiple bite marks on her back. Police photographed the injuries before an ambulance took Donna for treatment at a Peoria hospital. Other examples found: Mexican cartel recruits eat human hearts in cannibalistic initiation ceremonies in January 2015. Two dead after cannibal attack at Argoed hostel in November 2014. Congo crowd kills man, eats him after militant massacres in October 2014. Indiana man admits to cannibalism in September 2014. Then we have the string of "bath salt" cannibalism attacks in 2012, described as a "cannibalism epidemic" by the Mirror UK in December 2014 after a "crazed cannibal killer" was caught standing over the mutilated corpse of 22-year-old. Those are just examples, there is a long list from 2010 to present day. It isn't just random reports of this type of behavior that has us asserting cannibalism is on the rise as we have previously reported examples of terrorist groups forcing parents to consume the flesh of their children as heard in Congressional testimony by by Chairman of the Yazidi Human Rights Organization, Mirza Ismail, who stated "I met mothers, whose children were torn from them by ISIS. These same mothers came to plead for the return of their children, only to be informed, that they, the mothers, had been fed the flesh of their own children by ISIS. Children murdered, then fed to their own mothers." Other reports include Boko Haram fights turning to cannibalism, and who can forget the video that shocked nations of Syria's "heart-eating cannibal" in 2013? It sounded like the most far-fetched propaganda claim - a Syrian rebel commander who cut out the heart of a fallen enemy soldier, and ate it before a cheering crowd of his men. The story turned out to be true in its most important aspect - a ritual demonstration of cannibalism - though when I met the commander, Abu Sakkar, in Syria last week, he seemed hazy on the details. "It looks like you're carving him a Valentine's heart," says one of his men, raucously. Abu Sakkar picks up a bloody handful of something and declares: "We will eat your hearts and your livers you soldiers of Bashar the dog." Then he brings his hand up to his mouth and his lips close around whatever he is holding. At the time the video was released, in May, we rang him and he confirmed to us that he had indeed taken a ritual bite (of a piece of lung, he said). There are also companies using human leather products, claims of huge corporations using technology developed from using aborted human fetal cells, accusations that other companies are using aborted human fetuses in products, and in April 2015, Natural News provides and very large list of processed "food" products, vaccines and "beauty products" known to contain ingredients derived from aborted human babies. (See those here) Related: Human fetus as food - Modern cannibalism We are rapidly approaching a point in time where the fictional "Soylent Green" is becoming reality and reports of cannibalism are becoming the norm.

Ezekiel 5:10 - "Therefore fathers shall eat their sons in your midst, and sons shall eat their fathers. And I will execute judgments on you, and any of you who survive I will scatter to all the winds."

Zika: New Plague of the End Times

by Hal Lindsey

As he taught about the end times, Jesus said, “There will be… plagues and famines.” (Luke 21:11 NASB)

Today, an untold number of pathogenic catastrophes hang over all our heads. On the 2015 Prophetic Year in Review, I said, “If you want to read apocalyptic literature, turn to the U.S. Center for Disease Control, or the World Health Organization. Scientists in those places are all abuzz about ‘superbugs’ — strains of bacteria that are immune to modern antibiotics.” I didn’t mention cancer. In ancient times, it seems to have been relatively rare. In the journal, Nature Reviews, two Egyptologists, Rosalie David and Michael R. Zimmerman, wrote, “A striking rarity of malignancies in ancient physical remains might indicate that cancer was rare in antiquity.” Since 1973 when the United States began tracking cancer rates, the incidence of it has risen an average of about 1.1% per year. Despite fewer smokers, and a better understanding of the kinds of foods we should be eating, the numbers just keep going up. HIV/AIDS is still considered a pandemic and persists in plaguing the earth. New strains of flu continue to threaten the world’s population. Tuberculosis now kills 1.5 million people a year. On The Hal Lindsey Report, I’ve spoken at length about MRSA, the “Superbug” that one expert said, “Has the ability to plunge us straight back to the Dark Ages.” And then, of course, there’s Ebola. No longer making headlines, it still wreaks havoc in some regions of the world, while remaining a threat to everyone on the planet. It’s been almost a hundred years since the Spanish flu outbreak of 1918 that killed somewhere between 3 and 5% of the world’s population. Because there are so many more of us now, living so much closer together, and with quick, easy movement between nations and continents, we can only guess at the damage such a pandemic would do today. Recently, something new burst onto the world’s consciousness — the Zika virus. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared Zika a “public health emergency.” Usually transmitted by mosquitoes, we just learned of a case in Texas that was transmitted sexually. Symptoms include fever, skin rashes, pink eye, muscle and joint pain, malaise, and headache. But health officials say these symptoms are almost always mild and only last for 2-7 days. So what’s the big deal? WHO says, “Recently in Brazil, local health authorities have observed an increase in Zika virus infections in the general public as well as an increase in babies born with microcephaly in northeast Brazil. Agencies investigating the Zika outbreaks are finding an increasing body of evidence about the link between Zika virus and microcephaly.” According to the Mayo Clinic, “Microcephaly is a rare neurological condition in which an infant's head is significantly smaller than the heads of other children of the same age and sex.… Microcephaly usually is the result of the brain developing abnormally in the womb or not growing as it should after birth.” The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke explains, “In general, life expectancy for individuals with microcephaly is reduced and the prognosis for normal brain function is poor.” In areas where the Zika virus is prominent, pregnant women are living in terror. There is no known cure, and no vaccination. The best we can do for now, is to help women avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. Ironically, the best weapon against Zika was outlawed in the United States in 1972 — DDT. It is the best known pesticide in history. The scientist who discovered the chemical’s ability to destroy insects, Paul Hermann Müller, received a Nobel Prize in 1948 for his discovery. But it is not good for a pesticide to become famous. The book, Silent Spring by Rachel Carson, called DDT a killer of birds and a cancer causing agent in people. Carson was a good writer, and made a strong appeal to emotions and fear. But her science was faulty. Many trace the modern environmental movement to her work. It led to the outlawing of DDT, and caused millions of people around the world to die prematurely. Mosquitoes carry a variety of diseases. Malaria is the most deadly. By using DDT, several African countries had reduced the instances of malaria to near zero by 1967. After the U.S. outlawed DDT, it threatened to withhold foreign aid to third world countries that didn’t also outlaw it. The mosquito population again exploded, as did the instances of malaria. Depending on whose statistics you listen to, malaria today afflicts up to half a billion people a year. It kills about 2.7 million of them. Now we have a new killer, again spread by mosquitoes. How bad will it get? Will it quickly blow over, or will it become the perfect storm epidemiologists have long feared? More than 45 years ago, in The Late Great Planet Earth, I warned of an increase in disease as we approach the end of the age. That wasn’t an opinion, but something clearly taught in scripture — mostly by Jesus. Isn’t it amazing that He knew so perfectly the signs of our age 2000 years in advance?

Backgrounder: Ten facts about Zika disease

Source: Xinhua 2016-01-31 20:44:23

BEIJING, Jan. 31 (Xinhua) -- The World Health Organization (WHO) has decided to convene an Emergency Committee Monday to address the spread of the mysterious virus causing the Zika disease, as health experts warned that an outbreak is ballooning at an "extremely alarming" rate. The Zika disease has been linked with a birth defect known as microcephaly, which sees children born with abnormally small brains, as well as a neurological syndrome that can cause paralysis. Margaret Chan, the director-general of the WHO, said board members would meet on Monday to establish if the Zika virus should be declared an international emergency. And an official at the WHO office for the Americas, where the disease has spread to 23 countries in a matter of months, said we can "expect three to four million cases." Here are 10 facts one may need to know about the Zika virus. 1. What is Zika virus? The Zika disease is caused by a virus transmitted by aedes egyptus, the mosquito that carries the virus which could be found in Southern Europe, Africa and the southern United States. There is additional concern that aedes albopictus, the highly aggressive tiger mosquito, could become a vector for the Zika virus. 2. What are the common symptoms? The Zika virus could cause a mild illness. Common symptoms of infection with the virus include mild headaches, maculopapular rash, fever, malaise, conjunctivitis, and joint pains, which normally last two to seven days. 3. What has Zika to do with microcephaly? A group of Brazilian doctors found a link between Zika and the rising number of babies born with microcephaly in the country. Microcephaly refers to abnormally smaller head for new born babies. It may lead to developmental delays and often comes with other health conditions, like sight and heart congenital diseases. Health authorities found out that many Brazilian women who had babies with microcephaly had been infected with the Zika virus in the early months of their pregnancies. This caused an uproar among the country's female population and prompted some women to postpone their plans to get pregnant in the near future. 4. How to treat the Zika disease? Usually, the Zika virus disease is relatively mild and requires no specific treatment. People affected with the Zika virus should get plenty of rest, drink enough fluids, and treat pain and fever with common medicines. If symptoms worsen, medical care and advice should be sought immediately. 5. Is there a vaccine or cure? As of 2016, no vaccine, preventative drug or specific treatment is available. But work is underway towards developing a vaccine for the Zika virus. However, scientists say it may take several years before the vaccine could be rolled out. The best form of prevention is protection against mosquito bites. 6. How widespread is the outbreak of the Zika virus in the Americas? The WHO said Zika cases have been reported in 23 countries and territories in the Americas in the current outbreak. Brazil has been the nation most affected. Over 4,000 suspected cases of microcephaly have been identified in Brazil. So far, 270 of the cases have been officially confirmed to have links to the Zika virus, and further testing is underway. Other nations and territories include Barbados, Bolivia, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Martinique, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, Saint Martin, Suriname, Venezuela and the U.S. Virgin Islands. 7. Where did the Zika virus originate? Outbreaks of the Zika virus disease have been recorded in Africa, the Americas, Southern Asia and Western Pacific. According to WHO statistics, the virus was first identified in Uganda in 1947 in rhesus monkeys and was first identified in people in 1952 in Uganda and Tanzania. Recent outbreaks of the Zika virus were first reported from the Pacific in 2007 and 2013 (Yap and French Polynesia respectively), and from the Americas (Brazil and Colombia) and Africa (Cape Verde) in 2015. 8. What measures has the international community taken to prevent the spread of the Zika disease? In January 2016, the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a level 2 travel alert for people traveling to regions and certain countries where the Zika virus transmission is ongoing. The CDC also suggested that women thinking about becoming pregnant should consult with their physicians before traveling. Governments or health agencies of the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, Canada and the EU soon issued similar travel warnings. In Colombia, Minister of Health and Social Protection Alejandro Gaviria Uribe proposed a prevention of pregnancy for eight months, while Ecuador, El Salvador and Jamaica have made similar proposals. Brazil also announced plans to prevent the spread of the Zika virus during the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. 9. What's the difference between Zika and Ebola? Unlike Ebola, Zika does not spread from person to person, has a low mortality, and does not kill healthcare workers. Therefore, it warrants a different response, according to a commentary published Friday by a British think tank Chatham House. Although some lessons from the Ebola outbreak can be applied, the recent spread of the Zika virus presents a different challenge and needs a different response, said the authors of the commentary. 10. Should we panic? WHO Assistant Director-General Bruce Aylward warned that though the Zika virus is currently circulating at a very high intensity in the Americas, gaps remain regarding the situation on the ground. "With respect to China and Asia, at this moment we don't have any official notification of the Zika virus in that area," he said, adding he did not know what would be the required timeframe, or indeed the feasibility, of developing a vaccine.

Turkey trying to conceal illegal military activity on Syrian border - Russian military

Published time: 4 Feb, 2016 14:02 Edited time: 4 Feb, 2016 17:51

Turkey is trying to conceal its illegal military activity on the border with Syria and has canceled an agreed Russian observation flight over its territory because of that, Russia's Defense Ministry said. "Such steps carried out by a country, which is a NATO member state, in no way contribute to the strengthening of trust and security in Europe,” Major General Igor Konashenkov, Defense Ministry spokesman, told the journalists at briefing in Moscow. Konashenkov called the cancelation of the Russian observation flight over Turkish territory “a dangerous precedent and an attempt to conceal illegal military activity near the border with Syria." The violation of the Open Skies Treaty by Ankara won’t go without a proper response from Moscow, he said. Konashenkov also said Russia has boosted all kinds of intelligence and surveillance activities in the Middle East. "So if someone in Ankara thinks that the cancelation of the flight by the Russian observers will enable hiding something then they’re unprofessional." The spokesman reminded that 32 foreign observation flights took place in Russian air space in 2015, in accordance with the treaty, with four of them carried out by Turkish observers. The earlier agreed observation flight over Turkish territory was canceled on February 3, after Russian experts revealed the route, which would have included airfields and areas near the Turkish-Syrian border. etc. and the news story continues.

Fewer Fighters in Iraq/Syria as IS Focuses on 'Third Capital'

Jeff Seldin February 04, 2016 7:00 PM

WASHINGTON— Some U.S. officials are heralding new intelligence on the number of Islamic State (IS) fighters as a sign the tide is starting to turn in the battle against the terror group but there are concerns the self-declared caliphate’s larger, global strategy remains very well intact. The terror group, also known as ISIL or ISIS, now has a force in Iraq and Syria of just 19,000 to 25,000 fighters according to the most recent assessment, the White House said Thursday. National Security Council spokesperson Emily Horne called it “the lowest assessed range since we began conducting rigorous reviews of the group’s manpower.” etc. and the news story continues.

The Islamic Rape and Murder of Christian Boys

Another Muslim world phenomenon being imported into the West.

February 4, 2016 Raymond Ibrahim

A group of Muslim men recently went into a Christian district in Pakistan, abducted a 7-year-old boy, and took turns gang raping him before finally strangling him to death with a rope. Locals found the child’s body dumped in a field the next day: [T]he body was sent for post-mortem examination which revealed that the 7-year-old was killed after being brutally raped…. Speaking to The Express Tribune, a local said, “The suspects belonged to rich families and were drunk when they kidnapped the child and took him to their dera where they raped him. Interestingly, while the NY Daily News, the Independent, and other media state that the boy was seized from a “Christian district,” the original report, published by one Kashif Zafar in the International New York Times’ Express Tribune, avoids mentioning the religious identity of either rapists or raped. It even fails to mention that this atrocity took place in Pakistan and merely names the region, Bahawalnagar, in both the title and body of the report, though few have any clue what country Bahawalnagar is located in. Perhaps the NYT’s Express Tribune does not want readers to connect the dots and realize that “rich and drunk” Muslims regularly rape and kill Christian “infidels” in Pakistan. One week after this 7-year-old boy was gang raped and murdered, another group of reportedly “rich and drunk” Muslims in a car accosted three Christian girls walking home from work. They sexually harassed them, saying “Christian girls are only meant for one thing, the pleasure of Muslim men.” When the girls tried to run away, the Muslims chased them down in their car and ran them over, killing one girl, 17-year-old Kiran. While Muslim men regularly and openly prey on Christian girls in Pakistan, even the gang rape and murder of Christian boys is not as aberrant as the Express Tribune would have people think. While Muslim men regularly and openly prey on Christian girls in Pakistan, even the gang rape and murder of Christian boys is not as aberrant as the Express Tribune would have people think.

Prepare Now Or Prepare To Die: Dictator Threatens To 'Wipe Out All Of America At Once', Plans Satellite Launch In Days: 'Might Be A Test, Might Be An Attack' Experts Warn

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

Experts have long warned that in the event of an EMP attack upon America, up to or more than 90% of Americans would die in the following year to 18 months due to a total breakdown of our electricity dependent society. As we learn in the story and videos below, such an attack might happen sooner than later and experts warn we'd likely not even find out about it until it was far too late. While most Americans laugh off such a possibility and say that it will never happen, the danger is all too real and as we learn in this story from World Net Daily via Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin, North Korea is now preparing a 'southern trajectory' satellite launch within the next several days or weeks said to be only a test launch but believed by former US Ambassador Henry Cooper to be something that could soon affect the lives of all Americans. According to Dr. Peter Pry in this BioPrepper story, North Korea is a mortal threat to America, right now. Even though South Korea and Japan are concerned about this latest provocation by North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, we learn in this new story that the launch of a "satellite" between February 8 and 25 is actually aimed at 'crushing the US' and Washington DC if we're to believe anything at all that the North Korean leader says. He's also threatened to wipe out all of the US, all at once. Only an EMP attack would likely accomplish such a result. However, of the greatest concern to national security officials here in America is the fact that we will be unable to determine if the North Korean launch is a test or a 'real attack' until it is likely too late. Adding to that is the fact that we have very little defense to the south, the trajectory that the North Koreans are launching this satellite. From expert Henry Cooper, who was a former director of the US Strategic Defense Initiative.: Cooper told G2 Bulletin the United States lacks sufficient anti-ballistic missile defenses in the southern part of the U.S., especially if the satellite turns out to be a nuclear device that could orbit above the U.S. and explode at a high altitude, affecting the lives of all Americans. He said it would be difficult to distinguish a test from an actual attack, and the best way to counter such a threat to the U.S. homeland is to knock out the missile at the time it begins its trajectory over a southern polar route. But he acknowledged such an action would be politically unpalatable. However, if the North Korean satellite turned out to be a nuclear device and is detonated over 100 miles above the U.S, it could destroy all life-sustaining critical infrastructures that rely on the national grid, potentially leading to the death of most Americans within the following year. All grid-dependent systems could suffer, including food- and water-supply chains, fuel-supply systems, communications, banking and finance. Sadly, this very possibility is all-too-real and the fact that most Americans have likely either never heard of an EMP attack or considered the possibility of it happening here in America will lead to hell unfolding within America in the event of such an event happening. With only a small percentage of Americans being 'preppers' who are preparing for such a possibility, the devastation caused by such an event would be unimaginable with not only the above-mentioned grid dependent systems going down, but also nuclear power plants throughout the country. Even the best-prepared preppers will be in grave danger. We've reported on the elitist depopulation agenda before; what better way for them to accomplish such a goal than to unleash an EMP upon America with Kim Jong-Un and North Korea merely patsies to later be destroyed? We know for a fact that the heavily-govt-linked and sourced website Deagel.com forecasts a US population of 65 million in 2025, down from the current number of 319 million now. That's a population reduction in America of nearly 80% in less than 10 years. How do they think they'll accomplish that? An EMP attack would surely fit the bill. According to the story from the Daily Star, North Korea has very good reason to have nuclear weapons and to be going about rehearsing a strike upon America...deterring Washington DC and 'securing peace and stability' on the North Korean peninsula. While we believe unleashing such a catastrophic strike upon America would be the LAST thing that the North Korean leader (or any other country for that matter) would want to do to 'secure peace' (as they would likely quickly be obliterated in return), we have very strong doubts that the North Korean leader is thinking about that when he and the North Korean mouthpiece newspaper are making statements such as this.: North Korea's Rodong Sinmun newspaper – a mouthpiece for the warmongering regime – said: "The reason why we've had the nuclear deterrence is not for dropping nuclear bombs on people in the South. "Our nuclear weapons program is aimed at crushing Washington's bid to stage a nuclear war and securing peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula." The comforting statement comes after the North threatened to detonate a thermonuclear weapon 100 times more powerful than any of America's nukes. Tyrant Kim Jong-un threatened to "wipe out the US all at once" after the nuclear test on January 6. The US and South Korea have cast doubts the North tested a full H-bomb – explaining the smaller blast indicated a standard atomic bomb or a hybrid "boosted fission" bomb. While officials have claimed that the recent North Korean bomb test was likely NOT a full H-bomb as stated above, if true, that fact alone indicates to other experts that what the North Korean dictator recently tested was in preparation for an EMP strike as such a bomb would not need to have such a high yield as was previously reported on ANP.: According to Dr. Peter Vincent Pry, the H-bomb recently detonated in a test by North Korea fits well within the requirements of a 'Super EMP', a device that could nearly instantly send America back hundreds of years and wipe out our electrical grid over a huge portion of the country according to this story from the Washington Examiner. In fact, according to Pry, the US is not only totally defenseless against such an attack but North Korea has practiced such EMP attacks against America already. Dr. Pry previously served on the 'Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse Attack' and his warning to us helps to explain much of the mystery that has surrounded this latest North Korean nuclear test that some experts said was nowhere near powerful enough to have been a hydrogen bomb test. We learn here of a 'different kind' of hydrogen bomb that would indeed have such a 'low yield' as was detected. Whether or not this is just another test and provocation by North Korea or setting up for the real thing, Americans should be prepared for such an eventuality, even if it never happens. Almost totally dependent upon our electrical system, we're sitting ducks for either an EMP unleashed by the sun or by a petty dictator. With likely radiation flowing freely in the US after such an event with the meltdown of our nuclear power plants, even the best prepared will have to deal with the repercussions of that. The huge majority of those who aren't prepared will likely be among the 90% of Americans to die. Fortunately, there are some excellent resources online that will help Americans prepare for such a devastating event. While we hope that we'll never have to use such knowledge, it's certainly better to acquire that knowledge now when we have the ability to do so than to attempt to acquire it in the future, when we no longer have that ability. A story linked to yesterday by Steve Quayle from the website of All Self Sustained is one such source. A story that Susan Duclos wrote back in August of 2015 also offers some outstanding advice. Please share any info that you might have in the comment section below. The videos below include a look at experts predictions on the timing of the North Korean satellite launch as well as two different videos that look at Kim Jong-Un's EMP threats upon America and the possibility that he is merely bluffing vs the possibility that he is planning to 'take out all of America, all at once'.

Super-EMP Missile Launch Window Approaches: A Mortal Nuclear Threat To The United States – Right Now What was discussed by Dr. Pry was the intentionally low-yield weapon test that would have been optimal for a miniaturized EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) device, that range being 5-10 kilotons. I have cited Dr. Pry’s work in previous articles and am thoroughly convinced of both his professionalism and his expertise. While the North Koreans claim this launch to be for the purpose of emplacing an earth observation satellite, there are differences in the rocket that satellite images have picked up. The images revealed a gantry that differs in size and design from previous Unha-3 launches. The latest attribution is that the rocket may be a Unha-9, the newest North Korean design that may include an 80-ton rocket booster. The booster has been accomplished with the help of the Iranians. The U.S. Treasury department announced sanctions after proving that Iranians had been traveling to Pyongyang and indeed worked on such a project. In addition, this new launch has concealment procedures not used before by North Korea, such as a mobile sub-surface rail system to transport the missile directly to the gantry unobserved. The launch pad itself is shielded from view. Let us return to Dr. Pry, who explained the details of the reality of just how far along North Korea truly is, as he wrote: “…North Korea is a mortal nuclear threat to the United States – right now. North Korea has already successfully tested and developed nuclear weapons. It has also already miniaturized nuclear weapons for ballistic missile delivery and has armed missiles with nuclear warheads. Any nuclear weapon detonated above an altitude of 30 kilometers will generate an electromagnetic pulse that will destroy electronics and could collapse the electric power grid and other critical infrastructures – communications, transportation, banking and finance, food and water – that sustain modern civilization and the lives of 300 million Americans. All could be destroyed by a single nuclear weapon making an EMP attack. A Super-EMP attack on the United States would cause much more and much deeper damage than a primitive nuclear weapon…North Korean nuclear tests look suspiciously like a Super-EMP weapon. A Super-EMP warhead would have a low yield, like the North Korean device, because it is not designed to create a big explosion, but to convert its energy into gamma rays, that generate the EMP effect. Reportedly South Korean military intelligence concluded, independent of the EMP Commission, that Russian scientists are in North Korea helping develop a Super-EMP warhead. In 2012, a military commentator for the People’s Republic of China stated that North Korea has Super-EMP nuclear warheads. A Super-EMP warhead would not weigh much, and could probably be delivered by North Korea’s ICBM. The missile does not have to be accurate, as the EMP field is so large that detonating anywhere over the United States would have catastrophic consequences. Could you survive after an EMP attack? Would you be able to sustain your loved ones? In this video, I will unearth a long-forgotten secret that helped our ancestors survive famines, wars, economic crises, diseases, droughts, and anything else life threw at them… a secret that will help you do the same for your loved ones when America crumbles into the ground. I’m also going to share with you three old lessons that will ensure your children will be well fed when others are rummaging through garbage bins. Click here to learn all about the 3 skills that will help you thrive in any crises situation. So, as of Dec. 12, North Korea’s successful orbit of a satellite demonstrates its ability to make an EMP attack against the United States – right now.” Dr. Peter Vincent Pry, December 19, 2012, Washington Times, “PRY: North Korea EMP attack could destroy U.S. – now.” Please take note of the fact that Dr. Pry wrote the article in 2012. Since then we have seen the North Koreans actually emplace a satellite into permanent orbit. Now in addition to all of this, I found this interesting site for your approval, with the “How Stuff Works” site. The article (with corresponding diagrams) is entitled How E-Bombs Work. The article will give you some great information on how the Compton effect works, as well as detailing Non-nuclear EMP weapons. As the article will show, it is not necessary to detonate a 20 megaton warhead to obtain the desired effect, nor rain down a succession of warheads to blanket the target country. As Dr. Pry explained, the technology to reduce the EMP effect’s delivery vehicle is neither complex nor expensive. The North Koreans already have one satellite in place, and it is not known whether or not such technology has been incorporated into it for use at a future time. As of this writing, the Japanese government is on the alert, apparently with the Aegis anti-missile system coming into play. The South Koreans have warned North Korea of “searing” consequences should the launch take place. The interesting thing to note is that China is being very noncommittal in condemning North Korea’s planned launch. The Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lu Kang said this at a news conference: “We hope all sides show restraint and take prudent action to avoid any moves that may increase the tensions…” Another point of interest is that on Sunday, January 31, 2016, Japanese fighter planes were scrambled to intercept two Chinese military aircraft, Shaanxi X-9’s, cargo transport planes that went into both South Korean and Japanese airspace. This at a time when the Senkaku island dispute between Japan and China is far from over. In essence, China wishes to appear to be advising restraint while applauding the North Koreans behind the curtain and blustering with their own maneuvers. In addition to this, while condemning North Korea publicly, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jung-Un reaffirmed their ties of friendship and cooperation in 2015. This included the transport of 250,000 tons of Russian bituminous coal through the North Korean city of Rajin to South Korea. The Nyongbyon nuclear complex in North Korea is still producing both highly enriched uranium as well as plutonium. The scientists in this facility are conducting tests and upgrades to improve the quality and increase the quantity of North Korea’s nuclear weapons. The Koreans claim this newest launch to be a satellite launch, and indeed, this may be true…but the satellite may contain a miniaturized, Super EMP weapon of the type characterized earlier by Dr. Pry. In addition, North Korea is going to celebrate the birthday of Kim Jong-Il on February 16, which coincidentally falls right in that announced launch window. History has shown us in the past that auspicious dates and important events are usually made to coincide with one another deliberately. Perhaps there will be no need for a candle on the birthday cake of the deceased Jong-Il. Instead of blowing out the candles, maybe Kim Jong-Un will huff and puff and blow out the lights and power of the United States with an “EMP-candle,” with this latest launch. We all need to take it seriously. Regarding any type of potential threat of this magnitude, it is better to prepare and be wrong 364 ¼ days than to not prepare and be right for one day.

Snowden’s Chronicler Reveals Her Own Life Under Surveillance

Andy Greenberg Security Date of Publication: 02.04.16. 02.04.16 Time of Publication: 9:03 am.

Laura Poitras has a talent for disappearing. In her early documentaries like My Country, My Country and The Oath, her camera seems to float invisibly in rooms where subjects carry on intimate conversations as if they’re not being observed. Even in Citizenfour, the Oscar-winning film that tracks her personal journey from first contact with Edward Snowden to releasing his top secret NSA leaks to the world, she rarely offers a word of narration. She appears in that film exactly once, caught as if by accident in the mirror of Snowden’s Hong Kong hotel room. Now, with the opening of her multi-media solo exhibit, Astro Noise, at New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art this week, Snowden’s chronicler has finally turned her lens onto herself. And she’s given us a glimpse into one of the darkest stretches of her life, when she wasn’t yet the revelator of modern American surveillance but instead its target. The exhibit is vast and unsettling, ranging from films to documents that can be viewed only through wooden slits to a video expanse of Yemeni sky which visitors are invited to lie beneath. But the most personal parts of the show are documents that lay bare how excruciating life was for Poitras as a target of government surveillance—and how her subsequent paranoia made her the ideal collaborator in Snowden’s mission to expose America’s surveillance state. First, she’s installed a wall of papers that she received in response to an ongoing Freedom of Information lawsuit the Electronic Frontier Foundation filed on her behalf against the FBI. The documents definitively show why Poitras was tracked and repeatedly searched at the US border for years, and even that she was the subject of a grand jury investigation. And second, a book she’s publishing to accompany the exhibit includes her journal from the height of that surveillance, recording her first-person experience of becoming a spying subject, along with her inner monologue as she first corresponded with the secret NSA leaker she then knew only as “Citizenfour.” Poitras says she initially intended to use only a few quotes from her journal in that book. But as she was transcribing it, she “realized that it was a primary source document about navigating a certain reality,” she says. The finished book, which includes a biographical piece by Guantanamo detainee Lakhdar Boumediene, a photo collection from Ai Weiwei, and a short essay by Snowden on using radio waves from stars to generate random data for encryption, is subtitled “A Survival Guide for Living Under Total Surveillance.” It will be published widely on February 23. “I’ve asked people for a long time to reveal a lot in my films,” Poitras says. But telling her own story, even in limited glimpses, “provides a concrete example of how the process works we don’t usually see.” That process, for Poitras, is the experience of being unwittingly ingested into the American surveillance system. On the Government’s Radar Poitras has long suspected that her targeting began after she filmed an Iraqi family in Baghdad for the documentary My Country, My Country. Now she’s sure, because the documents released by her Freedom of Information Act request prove it. During a 2004 ambush by Iraqi insurgents in which an American soldier died and several others were injured, she came out onto the roof of the family’s home to film them as they watched events unfolding on the street below. She shot for a total of eight minutes and 16 seconds. The resulting footage, which she shows in the Whitney exhibit, reveals nothing related to either American or insurgent military positions. “Those eight minutes changed my life, though I didn’t know it at the time,” she says in an audio narration that plays around the documents in her exhibition. “After returning to the United States I was placed on a government watchlist and detained and searched every time I crossed the US border. It took me ten years to find out why.” The heavily redacted documents show that the US Army Criminal Investigation Command requested in 2006 that the FBI investigate Poitras as a possible “U.S. media representative … involved with anti-coalition forces.” According to the FBI file, a member of the Oregon National Guard serving in Iraq identified Poitras and “a local [Iraqi] leader”—the father of the family that would become the subject of her film. The soldier, whose name was redacted, questioned Poitras at the time, and reported that she “became significantly nervous” and denied filming from the roof. He later told the Army investigators that he “strongly believed”—but without apparent evidence—“POITRAS had prior knowledge of the ambush and had the means to report it to U.S. Forces; however, she purposely did not report it so she could film the attack for her documentary.” One page shown in the Whitney exhibit reveals that the New York field office of the FBI was tracking Poitras’ home addresses, and Poitras believes the reference to a “detective” working with the FBI indicates the New York Police Department may have also been involved. By 2007, the documents reveal that there was a grand jury investigation proceeding on whether to indict her for unnamed crimes—multiple subpoenas sought information about her from redacted sources. (Poitras says that the twelve pages she published in the Whitney exhibition are only a selection of 800 documents she’s received in her FOIA lawsuit, which is ongoing.) Being Constantly Watched Private as ever, Poitras declined to detail to WIRED exactly how she experienced that federal investigation in the years that followed. But flash forward to late 2012, and the surveillance targeting Poitras had transformed her into a nervous wreck. In the book, she shares a diary she kept during her time living in Berlin, in which she describes feeling constantly watched, entirely robbed of privacy. “I haven’t written in over a year for fear these words are not private,” are the journal’s first words. “That nothing in my life can be kept private.” She sleeps badly, plagued with nightmares about the American government. She reads Cory Doctorow’s Homeland and re-reads 1984, finding too many parallels with her own life. She notes her computer glitching and “going pink” during her interviews with NSA whistleblower William Binney, and that it tells her its hard drive is full despite seeming to have 16 gigabytes free. Eventually she moves to a new apartment that she attempts to keep “off the radar” by avoiding all cell phones and only accessing the Internet over the anonymity software Tor. When Snowden contacts her in January of 2013, Poitras has lived with the specter of spying long enough that she initially wonders if he might be part of a plan to entrap her or her contacts like Julian Assange or Jacob Appelbaum, an activist and Tor developer. “Is C4 a trap?” she asks herself, using an abbreviation of Snowden’s codename. “Will he put me in prison?” Even once she decides he’s a legitimate source, the pressure threatens to overwhelm her. The stress becomes visceral: She writes that she feels like she’s “underwater” and that she can hear the blood rushing through her body. “I am battling with my nervous system,” she writes. “It doesn’t let me rest or sleep. Eye twitches, clenched throat, and now literally waiting to be raided.” Finally she decides to meet Snowden and to publish his top secret leaks, despite her fears of both the risks to him and to herself. Both the journal and the documents she obtained from the government show how her own targeting helped to galvanize her resolve to expose the apparatus of surveillance. “He is prepared for the consequences of the disclosure,” she writes, then admits: “I really don’t want to become the story.” In the end, Poitras has not only escaped the arrest or indictment she feared, but has become a kind of privacy folk hero: Her work has helped to noticeably shift the world’s view of government spying, led to legislation, and won both a Pulitzer and an Academy Award. But if her ultimate fear was to “become the story,” her latest revelations show that’s a fate she can no longer escape–and one she’s come to accept. Poitras’ Astro Noise exhibit runs from February 5 until May 1 at the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the accompanying book will be published on February 23.

A barbaric new ISIS video shows a young, English speaking boy sawing the head off an unarmed hostage. With his dagger pointed down the camera lens, the child issues a chilling threat to the United States for arming rebel groups to fight the terror group in Syria. He says: 'Oh America, these are the soldiers you armed and you spent money on to fight the Sharia of Islam. 'We will destroy them as we destroyed the [inaudible] of Iraq... You can't escape,' he adds in the propaganda video which is thought to have been filmed in Aleppo, Syria. The boy then says ISIS will meet their enemies 'on the hills of Dabiq' - a small Syrian town where some Muslims believe the final, apocalyptic battle against the West will be fought. It is thought the boy, dressed in a grey tunic, is the son of ISIS fighter Abu Darda who was killed by a U.S. airstrike in Aleppo. ISIS's hostage, dressed in an orange jumpsuit, was thought to be a fighter for the Levant Front rebel faction - a coalition of groups who came together to destroy the fanatics. He is forced to give an interview entirely in Arabic before he is shackled and marched to an area of woodland. In the 17 minute long video, the boy leads the man through the trees and forces him to kneel on the ground. The English speaking boy then threatens America, although his accent does not make clear where he is originally from. Finally, he reaches down to pull the man's neck up towards him and cuts his head off with a sharpened dagger. The carefully edited video also includes shots of destroyed buildings and roads, which appears to have been caused by airstrikes on ISIS territory. This is not the first time the terror group has featured young children in its execution videos. Only last month, a four year old British boy named Isa Dare was filmed wearing army fatigues in an ISIS video. In the video that shocked Britain, he said: 'We are going to kill the kaffir (non-believers) over there.' His mother was Muslim convert Grace 'Khadija' Dare, 24, from Lewisham, South-East London, who had links to the killers of Lee Rigby and fled to Syria with her son three years ago.

Experts Warn Of 'Destruction Of Food Chain' Edging Towards Completion - 'Whole Systems Out Of Whack And Other Freakish Phenomena' - There But For The Grace Of God Go We By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

The absolutely heart-wrenching new story on ENENews tells us about the biggest West Coast bird die-off ever in recorded history, ongoing as you read this right now and for more than a year now, that has left a staggering number of birds deads with stomachs completely empty and 'a host of other freakish phenomena". While government and scientists still are unable to say exactly what is causing this latest mass die-off, anybody who has been paying attention to the countless reports coming from the West coast and Pacific Ocean of the endless die-offs know much better than the so-called 'experts' do. In fact, we'll go so far as to say that government and science are proving themselves totally irrelevent as they continuously claim they don't know why all of these mass deaths are occurring when it's so obviously clear that Fukushima's radiation is well on the way to destroying our ecosystem and the food chain along the west coast. Though they don't have answers, they freely share the symptoms they're seeing, over and over again, in the dead birds.: “We’re seeing the effects of this throughout the food web,” [Rob Kaler U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service biologist] says… "The murres’ stomachs are completely empty." The reason for the dead birds is still a mystery… “I think it suggests something more related to the food web structure,” Heather Renner with the USFWS said, “The really frustrating question of why they are starving to death.” With hundreds of thousands of newly dead birds to add to the countless millions of other sea, air and land creatures that have been dying in the Pacific Ocean and surrounding areas, why are the scientists still claiming they have no idea what is causing this disaster? Are scientists being threatened with death by government agents working feverishly to prevent the truth from getting out? We know that there is a very long list of scientists who have mysteriously met their untimely end over recent years. Are more now being threatened over 'Fukushima's death row' that we're now all on? In fact, the L.A. area has a double whammy to deal with due to the never-ending flow of radiation spewing from Aliso Canyon at Porter Ranch that has left many sick, animals dead and a warning of lethal levels of radiation coming up out of the ground. With these events, are we witnessing the depopulation agenda exploding before our very eyes? We also learn in the 2nd video below via Cryptome of a Hillary Clinton email that was sent out to staff after the Fukushima disaster happened warning to stay inside and avoid going out if at all possible. "Stay indoors if at all possible. There is nothing, no events, parties, sports, movies, etc that are worth getting more exposure to radiation. The stuff travels far, very far." She also said this: "As long as the radiation leak is going, and up to 24-48 hours later, the threat is at is (sic) highest in most cases." As most of us know, the radiation leak from Fukushima is still ongoing. Nice of Hillary to tell her staff but not the American people. Republished below are excerpts from several of the recent reports coming from ENENews via other sources on this latest mass die-off that scientists can't explain (but is totally heart-wrenching nonetheless) and another sign of where humanity is heading if we allow the 'Fukushimas' and 'Porter Ranch's' of the world to continue to destroy our planet...extinction. The videos below include the 1st one, a new one from BeautifulGirlByDana who tells us that, while 'experts' are telling us that all of these birds, fish and animals are starving to death, they're neglecting to mention Fukushima. Durnford tells us that these scientists and other experts neglecting to tell the truth of the matter will come back to haunt them forever. Alaska Public Radio, Jan 28, 2016: [T]his event will likely be the largest and most widespread on record. And seeing the starving birds dying far inland apparently searching for food is “nearly unheard of,” said USFWS’s Heather Renner. KHNS, Jan 15, 2016: “We’re seeing the effects of this throughout the food web,” [Rob Kaler U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service biologist] says… The murres’ stomachs are completely empty, Kaler says… Not only is the bird die-off unsettling, the implications are scary, [bird expert Pam Randles] says. “Our salmon eat that stuff and who knows what else is dying off, or starving, or having trouble?” Norm Hughes has been commercial salmon fishing in Alaska for more than 30 years. He says last season saw skinnier fish – up to 20 percent smaller… “there’s less fish”… CNN, Jan 22, 2016: “We have never found close to 8,000 birds on a 1-mile long beach before,” [seabird biologist David Irons] said… “It is an order of magnitude larger than any records that I am aware of… Seabird biologists say seabirds are indicators of the health of the ecosystem. Now they’re dying and that is telling us something… this is bigger than I’ve ever seen.” The Economist, Jan 30, 2016: [Probably hundreds] of thousands of these birds have drifted in dead… last summer they failed to raise chicks. And they have been dying in large numbers along the Pacific coast, from California to Alaska… “Whole systems are out of whack,” says Heather Renner… Old-timers in Homer have never experienced anything like this. And they are perplexed by a host of other freakish phenomena… KTOO, Jan 28, 2016: “[T]here’s dead murres on the ground everywhere, and it’s hard not to notice them.”… The reason for the dead birds is still a mystery… “I think it suggests something more related to the food web structure,” said Renner. New York Times, Jan 18, 2016: Animals Die in Large Numbers, and Researchers Scratch Their Heads… The latest victims are common murres… this die-off has surprised experts, because it has been going on for around a year and it covers such a vast area… “I still don’t think we’ve seen the worst,” said [John F. Piatt, USGS seabird expert], who… speculated that if the worst happened, the deaths could reach into the many hundreds of thousands.

Genetic editing is like playing God – and what’s wrong with that?

Johnjoe McFadden Tuesday 2 February 2016 08.29 EST

The announcement that scientists are to be allowed to edit the DNA of human embryos will no doubt provoke an avalanche of warnings from opponents of genetic modification (GM) technology, who will warn that we are “playing God” with our genes. The opponents are right. We are indeed playing God with our genes. But it is a good thing because God, nature or whatever we want to call the agencies that have made us, often get it wrong and it’s up to us to correct those mistakes. Sadly, of the half a million or so babies that will be born in the UK this year, about 4% will carry a genetic or major birth defect that could result in an early death, or a debilitating disease that will cause misery for the child and their family. This research will eventually lead to technologies that could edit DNA in the same way that we can edit text – to correct the mistakes before the child’s development goes to its final draft. Its successful implementation could reduce, and eventually eliminate, the birth of babies with severe genetic diseases. But surely our DNA cannot be compared to the patterns of printer ink on page? Our DNA is considered to be so special that the phrase “it’s in his/her DNA” is said with the same sense of fatalism that our ancestors would have spoken of their fate or their soul. Anti-GM activists, many of whom are devout atheists, often insist that our DNA is somehow special, something donated to us by an all-powerful, wise and benevolent nature, which has taken God’s place as our creator. But nature is just blind chance – mutation – combined with the survival of the fittest. There’s no grand plan and no reason why nature shouldn’t, like the rest of us, occasionally make terrible mistakes. When those errors could lead to terrible human suffering, it is our duty to try to correct them. Our DNA is just a chemical. Schoolchildren isolate it from cells in the class laboratory and it can be spooled out on a glass rod looking like slimy cotton wool. When dried, it looks like fibrous paper. You can eat it or burn it and it will return to those simple atoms and molecules from which it is made. There is no special magical ingredient between the atoms, no soul, just atoms and space. DNA is the most amazing chemical in the known universe, but it’s just a chemical – made of the same atoms of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen you can find in the air. It is no more spiritual than your fingernails or hair. And we don’t mind clipping those when we need to. Gene editing of human embryos to eliminate disease should be considered to be ethically the same as using laser surgery to correct eye defects, or a surgeon operating on a baby to repair a congenital heart defect. DNA is just another bit of our body that might go wrong. Yet gene editing could provide revolutionary benefits to our children. A team based at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London recently used gene editing to treat a one-year-old girl with leukaemia, who is now in remission. More technology is in the pipeline. A team based at Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania reported in this week’s Nature Biotechnology that they were able to correct a genetic liver disease in newborn mice. Taking this technology into human embryos could correct devastating genetic diseases in the womb. But isn’t this a slippery slope to designer babies genetically engineered to be healthier, cleverer or more beautiful than they would otherwise be? Wouldn’t it provide a technology that would only be available to the super-wealthy, potentially creating the kind of divided society that HG Wells envisaged in his futuristic novel, The Time Machine? Perhaps. But let’s worry about the future in the future. In the present, if those of us with mostly healthy children are worried about the ethics of gene editing, then we should ask the parents of children born with haemophilia, cystic fibrosis or muscular dystrophy whether they would have used this kind of technology if it had been available to them. If science can be used to eliminate human suffering, then let’s get on with it.

Donald Trump mocks President Obama for his 'gentle bombing' of ISIS - to save the environment - while jetting to Hawaii to play golf

Donald Trump labeled President Obama a hypocrite for caring about the environment enough NOT to bomb ISIS

'Give me a break,' Trump said, noting how the president is cool with jetting off to Hawaii every Christmas to play golf

Trump knocked around the trio of Obama, Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush, but didn't say a word about rivals Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio

By Nikki Schwab, U.s. Political Reporter For Dailymail.com In Portsmouth, New Hampshire Published: 20:22 EST, 4 February 2016 | Updated: 10:18 EST, 5 February 2016

onald Trump ridiculed President Obama for his decision not to bomb ISIS' oil fields – over environmental concerns – while having no problem taking the energy-sucking Air Force One to Hawaii to play golf. 'They are doing a very gentle bombing because they don't want to pollute the atmosphere,' Trump said at a rally tonight in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. 'And yet Obama will take Air Force One, an old Boeing 747, with the old engines, and spew crap into the atmosphere as he goes to Hawaii and stays for almost three weeks playing golf,' Trump continued, adding that Obama then comes back to hold a press conference about global warming. 'Give me a break,' the Republican hopeful told a crowd, which fit nicely in a community college gym. After a quick trip to Little Rock, Arkansas, yesterday, which votes on Super Tuesday, Trump returned to the more pressing campaign trail today and made his way through the Granite State's Seacoast. At a lunchtime event, the Trump campaign was forced to turn away swaths of supporters – and journalists including Fox News Channel's Chris Wallace, the moderator of the last Republican debate, which the billionaire skipped over a tiff with co-moderator Megyn Kelly. There, Trump took Obama to task over golf too, but used a different line of attack, picking on the president for playing the game with friends instead of hitting the links to make good deals for the country. 'If you play golf, you need to play golf with people who can help you,' Trump told those in Exeter, New Hampshire. 'You've got to cajole,' Trump added. Tonight, the Republican added the ISIS component. 'These guys in Washington, they're real tough,' Trump said sarcastically. 'They can't beat ISIS, they can't beat anyone, Afghanistan is going to hell, the Middle East is going down, I've been saying bomb the oil for years and they haven't done it.' The reasoning, expressed by former Obama CIA Director Mike Morell during an appearance on the Charlie Rose show in December, was indeed because of the environment, as Trump had told his supporters. Morrell said that 'we didn't go after oil wells, actually hitting oil wells that ISIS controls, because we didn't want to do environmental damage and we didn't want to destroy that infrastructure,' according to Real Clear Politics. 'They don't want to bomb the oil because they don't want to pollute the atmosphere,' Trump sniffed. Trump also knocked Hillary Clinton around a little bit, suggesting that she's being treated with kid gloves compared to former CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus, whose leak of classified material to lover Paula Broadwell cost the military veteran $100,000 and two years on probation. 'You have a situation where General Petraeus and other people, for doing 5 percent of what Hillary did, have been destroyed,' Trump said. And while The Donald jabbed an old favorite, Jeb Bush, several times through his 45 minutes of remarks, calling the former Florida governor 'soft,' two noticeable names haven't been uttered at Trump's two large public events today. Trump didn't say a word about Ted Cruz, who he repeatedly called a 'nasty guy,' before Cruz bested the billionaire in Monday's Iowa caucuses. Marco Rubio, who came in a strong third, was left untouched too. Trump did use strong language throughout his speech, dropping the F-word when discussing American companies that have moved overseas. 'You can tell them to go f--- themselves, because they let you down and they left,' Trump said. 'We're going to knock the s--- out of ISIS,' Trump said at another point. And encouraging New Hampshire voters to get to the polls on Tuesday for the country's first primary, Trump dropped another swear word. 'I don't give a damn, you've got to get out of bed,' he said.

Urban Survival: How To Survive During Rioting and Urban Unrest

Rioting, looting, warlike mobs hell-bent on destruction – they are a staple of any Hollywood Post-Apocalyptic movie. They are also the unfortunate aftermath of many real world natural and man-made disasters. As I hope you have come to learn by now, no matter how tough you are, or THINK you are, the best way to deal with open conflict and violence is to try to avoid it at best, and be prepared for it at worst. During Civil Unrest or Open Conflict, the majority of deaths and injuries happen to people who are out on the streets – whether they are there to fight, loot or just stand in line for food or water.

So Rule Number One has to be to stay off the streets as much as possible. In addition: Hide a duplicate of your equipment/supplies, a stash of cash, silver/ gold, and firearms away from your home. If you do not have a Bug-Out or Safe House, consider renting a storage locker, preferably in an older warehouse facility that does not use electronic access, because that could fail in a power outage. Keep Your Health Up If you do not already have such preparations, consider gates, dogs, and other home security/defense products, such as Security Grilles for windows. The use of weapons, firearms and other methods of self-defense are matters of training and personal choice, and will be discussed at length in the next sections. During open conflict, get away and stay away from areas of rioting. You can be in just as much danger from the rioters, as Police and Civil Authorities that have been sent in to quell the violence, who often cannot, or do not care to – distinguish rioters from bystanders. You need to be smart, use your head, don’t panic, and follow these specific tips and techniques to avoid being a victim no matter where you are. Be aware by recognizing danger. Have communication such as a radio, CB, or scanner. Use your senses. Panic spreads fast so when you feel threatened like your hair standing on end and the adrenaline working. Take action. Fight down the panic and stay calm. Avoid confrontation and try to go around potential problems. Have an escape route that you have selected ahead of time. I highly recommend you to watch this free survival video that reveals 3 of the most important skills to overcome any disaster. Act like the natives. Try to blend in so you don’t attract attention. Be careful of what you wear. Be aware of your surroundings. Learn to defend yourself. Choose an art that is compatible to your beliefs and skills such as karate, aikido, mace, pepper spray, guns or other weapons. Armed or unarmed the best way to win a fight is not to have one, but if you are forced to face trouble head on, you should resist with everything possible in a life or death situation. Don’t get involved in mobs or mob behavior. They become mindless and objectivity is lost. On Martial Law I’ve served my country faithfully. I am and always will be a patriot. But I remind you of America’s history, and the fine line between “Rebel,” “Patriot” and “Minute Man.” I do not want to think of the day when active U.S. military may be called in to take action against American Citizens, but I cannot discuss “civil unrest” without also including a discussion about Martial Law. There have been plenty of rumors, and there are no lack of conspiracy theory websites, and the more “fringe” elements of Preppers that would have you believe that the agenda of the current administration is to grab power, and stay in power be invoking Martial Law . I do not buy into much of that – BUT you need to know that the Government has made plans to deal with what it believes to be mounting threats of violence and insurrection from “civil unrest.” In 2002 the federal government established a North American Army command. This was the first time such a command was set up on US soil. Its purpose is not to repel foreign invaders. Under the guise if Homeland Security The United States Northern Command or US NORTHCOM was created for domestic operations. In 1879 after the reunification, congress passed the Posse Comitatus Act (PCA), which stipulates that federal troops cannot be used on US soil for law enforcement purposes. Many believe that the creation of NORTHCOM was in direct violation of the PCA, and it along with the recently passed Insurrection Act (Title 10 USC, Sections 331-335), clears they way for “the president to use U.S. military personnel at the request of a state legislature or governor to suppress insurrections.” The Insurrection Act also “allows the president to use federal troops to enforce federal laws when rebellion against the authority of the U.S. makes it impracticable to enforce the laws of the U.S.” Now you may think, what’s the problem? In fact maybe its a good idea that the Army is ready to swoop in and protect citizens and restore order When the S*ht Hits the Fan. Maybe so, but do you really trust these people. I mean not the average GI Joe, I would trust him (or her) with my life — I mean the people in charge. Things have not gotten too bad in the U.S. yet. There has been the occasional “Occupy” protest that got out of hand – but nothing the local authorities couldn’t handle. But, Europe has been a whole other story. Not long ago, France was brought to its knees by night after night of rioting. There it has become almost a daily occurrence for workers to hold their bosses hostage in hopes of winning economic concessions. Similar things happened in London where normal life and businesses were shut down by days of rioting, despite well-known “British civility.” It wouldn’t take much to push this country over the edge with rampant rioting that results in a government crackdown on civil liberties. When that happens, no matter what the original cause or location of the trouble, everyone will be affected. Effects might include travel restrictions, random ID checks, mass arrests, food and fuel rationing, controls on money and banking, roadblocks, and other harsh “emergency” or “for you own good” restrictions. In other words – Martial Law! Any level of civil unrest can lead to crackdowns, new regulations, and harsher police policies that can end up infringing on everybody’s freedom in the long run. But if it ever gets to the point of Martial Law – I hate to say it – then the government itself will be a far bigger threat to your well being than whatever the original cause of the clampdown was. What exactly is “Martial Law?” In a nutshell, forget everything you know – or think you know about the Constitution. Under Martial Law the Constitution is suspended. That means curfews, rationing of basic goods, and enforced relocations at best, confiscation of firearms and supplies, and summary arrest/execution by soldiers, SWAT teams and other Federal Enforcers at worst. You need to be prepared for that like any other disaster. That means following every thing I have said so far about food stores, water stores, home defense and staying off of the streets. Beyond that here are a few helpful tips from someone who has been on both sides of Police Actions. If you get picked up in mass arrests during a riot or demonstration, the cops probably won’t care a lick to hear that you are just an “innocent bystander.” You’ll only tick them off, which will lead to a charge of resisting arrest, or worse. Buddies of mine who are Law Enforcement tell me the best thing you can do is go along as cooperatively you can. Friends I know who have been busted at protests say the same thing. Most of the time when things settle down, the charges are usually dropped. The exception is if things have gotten to the point where the police are rounding people up and throwing them into detention camps never to be seen again – then, and only then – resist like hell! I also suggest you have a good lawyer and carry his or her card with you. In the heat of chaos it probably won’t do you much good, but that card will come in handy later. Besides, if you and a police officer have an encounter even in “regular” times, a lawyer’s card, along with your calm assertion of your legal rights, will help you to be taken seriously. Even more valuable in these circumstances than a lawyer’s card is a PBA card. If, like me, you have friends or family that are cops, makes sure you have one of their cards in your wallet, and be sure you know exactly the station or precinct they work out of. Be sure to tell the “arresting” officer your, brother/uncle/ second cousin, whatever, is “On the Job” and you may just walk. In this video, I will unearth a long-forgotten secret that helped our ancestors survive famines, wars, economic crises, diseases, droughts, and anything else life threw at them… a secret that will help you do the same for your loved ones when America crumbles into the ground. Under Martial Law Do not trust anything the Government says. But comply with any directives. Not doing so will get you killed. Remember under Martial Law, your “rights as an American” are out the window. Failure, especially “willful and intentional failure” to comply will get you shot and killed without trial, or due process. Avoid contact with government officials or those in authority as much as possible. Keep your mouth shut. Do not say anything to anybody that could get you in trouble.

February 4, 2016 Ray Starmann

President Obama showed his true colors again yesterday by visiting a mosque in Baltimore with ties to radical Islam. The Islamic Society of Baltimore’s former imam has ties not only to the Muslim Brotherhood but the Northern Virginia mosque where the radical Anwar al-Awlaki used to preach. The former imam in question is Mohamad Adam El-Sheikh, who served at the Baltimore mosque from 1983-1989 and 1994-2003. A member of the Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan, he had moved to the U.S. in 1978 and went on to receive several advanced law degrees as he became involved in the religious community. During his time in Baltimore, El-Sheikh was a regional director for the Islamic American Relief Agency, the international parent organization of which has been cited by the U.S. Treasury Department for connections to Al Qaeda and the Taliban. After 2003, he was the imam for the Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Va., near Washington. It was there that Awlaki, just months earlier, gave his fiery sermons, before going on to be a top Al Qaeda affiliate operative in Yemen. Awlaki, a U.S. citizen, was killed in a U.S. drone strike in 2011. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday that Obama is visiting to “celebrate the contributions Muslim Americans.” Contributions? When does Obama ever speak of the contributions of our Founding Fathers, the Tejanos who fought with the Texans at the Alamo, the Chinese who built the Trans-Continental Railroad, the Tuskogee Airmen in World War II, or the bravery of those who served in Vietnam? It will also be an opportunity, Earnest said, for the president “to talk about the role that faith plays in his own life.” What faith would that be exactly, Mr. President? It’s not just El-Sheikh’s affiliations but his past comments that have stirred controversy. He told The Washington Post in August 2003, when he was the imam in Falls Church, that Islamic law does not allow suicide bombings in most instances, but, “if certain Muslims are to be cornered where they cannot defend themselves, except through these kinds of means, and their local religious leaders issued fatwas to permit that, then it becomes acceptable as an exceptional rule, but should not be taken as a principle.” One has to wonder why Obama would want to visit this particular mosque at a time when radical Islamic terrorists are wreaking havoc across the globe. Why indeed? This is a president who has found opportunity after opportunity to bash Christianity and defend Islam. In February of 2015, the President remarked, “From a school in Pakistan to the streets of Paris, we have seen violence and terror perpetrated by those who profess to stand up for faith, their faith, professed to stand up for Islam.” He then doubled down by remarking, “And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ.” When has the President ever spoken of 2015 as the most violent and deadly year for Christians in the last thousand years? Yet, Jihad Barry can’t say radical Islam. He refused to call the San Bernardino attacks Islamic terrorism until the FBI told him that the shooters, Mr. and Mrs. Jihad weren’t related to people who came over on the Mayflower. Jihad Barry won’t fight Islam. He simply doesn’t want to destroy ISIS. He has overseen the implementation of an air campaign that is a farce on a good day and a bloody shambles on a bad day. On the same week that the nation was mourning the victims of San Bernardino, Jihad Barry was telling the country that he couldn’t wait to bring in thousands of un-vetted Muslim refugees; you know the same people who are murdering, thieving and raping their way across Europe now. In essence we have a President who is sympathetic towards Islam. We have a President who blames Christianity for the world’s woes, past and present. We have a President who thinks America is just another country on the block, equal to such Third World paradises like Somalia and Iran. Jihad Barry, like other liberal imbeciles, believes that America and the West can only be strengthened by hordes of un-vetted Muslim migrants storming our shores. Obama is the spokesman for a whole generation of liberals and do-gooders who think that by placating radical Islam, the bad guys will see the light and will be singing Amazing Grace with Pat Robertson. What Jihad Barry and other liberal fools refuse to see is that the West and radical Islam are heading for a clash, a clash of civilizations that has been in the making for a millennium. While some Muslims want peace, many do not and many are happy to sit on the sidelines and reluctantly accept the violence perpetuated in the religion’s name. You would think that the President of the United States might just be on the side of those fighting radical Islam. But, that is obviously too much to ask. Yesterday’s event was just another sad chapter in the tenure of our commander in chief, Jihad Barry. http://usdefensewatch.com/2016/02/jihad-barry/

All’s Quiet on the Walmart Front, Until Now! The Real Reason Why Walmart Is Closing Multiple Stores—The Answer Will Floor You!

By Lisa Haven on February 4, 2016

Walmart has been in the lime light for some time now with discussions of them converting some of their stores into FEMA camps and their latest ploy of closing multiple stores across the country—154 to be exact here in America. But what is the reason for their latest closing of the 154 stores? CBS News reports that it’s because they are located in small urban areas. Check out this video by Gary Franchi’s the Next News Network… I visited the old communistic country of Bulgaria five years ago. There I observed a mass majority of its residents living in minuscule, sardine packed, apartments in the cities. The old regime, who controlled the country, herded its residents into cities causing the rural areas to depopulate. As a result ‘ghost towns’ were left in their place. People left in the rural areas were poor, orphaned, disable, or sick. We witnessed the powerful effects of Agenda 21 at its finest while in Bulgaria. The fact that Walmart is now closings its stores in rural areas proves their making their bold move to lead people into absolute government control by removing resources and forcing people to move inner city. Furthermore our government has been leading farmers and ranchers off their land and into urban areas for many years now. Remember what happened at the Hammond and Bundy ranches where the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) went as far as to burn the land the ranchers owned to make it un-grazable for their cattle, and thus stealing the land and herding it up for themselves. Not to mention, NAFTA, yet another movement to budge people into the cities; starting with the farmers. The US, along with Mexico and Canada, were all a part of this agreement. Under NAFTA, farmers income have drastically plummeted and millions have lost their land. As a result subsidized government farms have thrived and were left to fill the gaps. Ultimately, meaning more GMO’s and less healthy organic food, thus increasing the cost of the organic products you see on the shelves today. The bureaucrats want control of the populace and the food. Like the old saying goes, “If you control the food, you control the people.” That is the endgame! They plan to enforce Agenda 21 and shift residences from rural areas into cities has been ignited! Through starvation, removing resources (such as Walmart’s), building roads around towns, and refusing money to the local urban area government, they will forcibly reduce population growth in urban areas. Think it won’t happen here? Then look at China where Agenda 21 is in full swing. The Chinese military, at the point of a gun, have forcibly removed millions of Chinese farmers from their rural homes into massive ghost cities created by the Chinese government. Check out this video… Want to know the truth about the governments agenda? Then you’ve really got to see this video! In it I delve through the document “America 2050”, which was composed by the Rockefeller Foundation and it openly parades the idea of forcing rural citizens into the cities by the year 2050.

I Am the Infidel That Allah Warned You About-Sharia Law Must Be Banned In America

05 Feb, 2016 by Dave Hodges

The Free Exercise Clause protects citizens’ right to practice their religion as they please, so long as the practice does not run afoul of a “public morals” or a “compelling” governmental interest. In other words, Muslims, Christians et al are free to practice their religion, as they see fit, so long as the free exercise of their religion ends where my constitutionally nose begins. House Resolution 569 Condemning violence, bigotry, and hateful rhetoric towards Muslims in the United States. An amazing piece of legislation just passed the House of Representatives. It elevates the Islamic religion and Muslims to a protected status not enjoyed by any other religion. Below are some key excerpts of this resolution: Whereas the rise of hateful and anti-Muslim speech, violence, and cultural ignorance plays into the false narrative spread by terrorist groups of Western hatred of Islam, and can encourage certain individuals to react in extreme and violent ways Whereas the victims of anti-Muslim hate crimes and rhetoric have faced physical, verbal, and emotional abuse because they were Muslim or believed to be Muslim Denounces in the strongest terms the increase of hate speech, intimidation, violence, vandalism, arson, and other hate crimes targeted against mosques, Muslims, or those perceived to be Muslim The key word in the above passage is hate speech. What exactly is hate speech? Urges local and Federal law enforcement authorities to work to prevent hate crimes; and to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law those perpetrators of hate crimes The above passage reminds one of the movie Minority Report in which the law enforcement community moved to arrest people for crimes that they MIGHT commit. The movie gave birth to the phrase “pre-crime” and that is exactly what is being advocated for here. This passage of this resolution is extremely disturbing. For example, if an American expresses resentment toward the taking, or attempted taking of innocent American lives in the Muslim terrorist events at San Bernardino, Chattanooga, Paris and Garland terrorist attacks, then one is guilty of a hate crime. Isn’t this also reminiscent of the Attorney General Loretta Lynch(mob) threats to prosecute anyone who dates to insult Muslims or the Islamic religion? President Obama visited a radical mosque in Baltimore this week. What he said was very telling. Obama Deceives the Country Again To listen to the President, one would think that a Muslim is being “lynched” on every street corner in America. Sorry, Mr. President the hate crime figures do bear out your assertions. In fact, the data suggests that this is just one more lie that you visiting upon the American people. According to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports: Hate Crime Statistics, 2014, Antisemitic hate crimes approaches 60% while anti-Muslim hate crime rates are at 15%. Perhaps OBama should read the reports of his own FBI! Where is Obama’s public outcry against anti-Christian and antisemitism? This another case of classic Hegelian Dialectic creating the problem, fabricating a reaction and then finding the “desired” solution. In this case, the solution includes taking away the First Amendment rights of people who would speak out against the Obama administration’s intention to flood this country with unscreened Muslims. through the Refugee/Resettlement Program, from areas of the world who are hostile to the Christian principles which founded this country and led to the creation of the Constitution. If this false propaganda that states that Muslims are by far and away the most persecuted minority group in America, I would be very nervous because this is the very stuff that Obama administration’s false flag attacks are made out of. Yes, I am saying that we are going to see soon a false flag attack upon a high valued American-Muslim target which will result in the deaths of hundreds, if not thousands of Muslims. And Patriot groups (e.g. Ammon Bundy pro-Constitutional types will be framed for the event). The Betrayal of the American People On September 20, 2015, during a joint press appearance in held Berlin on September 20. Both Secretary of State, John Kerry, and German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Secretary of State John Kerry revealed that the Obama administration is planning to drastically increase the flow of refugees into the United States. Specifically Syrians were mentioned by Kerry as he stated, “I’m pleased to announce today that the United States will significantly increase our numbers for refugee resettlement in the course of this next year and the year after. Last year I think we were at 70,000”, as he referred to the number of refugees the United States has accepted from around the world. But wait, the Secretary of State went on to say, “We are now going to go up to 85,000 with at least, and I underscore the ‘at least’ — it is not a ceiling, it’s a floor — of 10,000 over the next year from Syria specifically even as we also receive more refugees from other areas. And in the next fiscal year, we’ll target 100,000, and if it’s possible to do more, we’ll do more. In other words and I say it again, America, your leaders have sold out your safety and security. Doesn’t Kerry and Obama care about this? Most Americans have no problem with any religious group practicing their faith. However, when many members of a religious faith (e.g. Sharia Law) proclaim superiority of that religion along with forced compliance to the dictates of that religion, all Americans should have a problem with this kind of zealous, uncompromising and intimidating application of this religion where other faiths are not respected or allowed. This is what underlies Sharia Law and the mosque that Obama spoke at this week is a Sharia Law mosque. So I would ask, who are the real victims? Hey Lynch and Obama, What About This? The Bible Does the Bible have credibility in your eyes? The Bible reveals in Revelation 20:4 that Christians worldwide will be beheaded for their faith and refusal to participate in a satanic world government under the spirit of antichrist as outlined in Revelation 13. As you read the following two paragraphs, there is a collision between two cultures and two religions which is already underway and religious dogma is serving to perpetuate and exacerbate the conflict. 4 “Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years”. And who will behead these Christians? Take a look at Sura (chapter) 47 contains the ayah (verse): “When you encounter the unbelievers …. [26] He and his followers beheaded opponents, Christian and Muslim alike…” Sura 8 [al-Anfal]:12 states “I will cast dread into the hearts of the … caliphs beheaded tens of thousands of Christians (admittedly many of them … This is the justification for ISIS to be performing these heinous acts against Christians. It is clear that both Christianity and Islam foretells a time when non-believing infidels (i.e. Christians) will be beheaded by radical Muslim extremists (i.e. ISIS). It is also clear that this prophecy is being fulfilled in our time. Will these acts be carried out on American soil and against American Christians and Jews? This is unmitigated Sharia Law. Obama’s True Purpose The true nature behind this thinly veiled Hegelian Dialectic is to pay the way for millions of unscreened Muslims to be brought into the country complete with their Sharia Law mandates. And what America will see is the utter chaos that has described the fabric of European society. As a result, Sweden is the rape capital of the world of world-wide caliphate being imposed upon the Western world. This is not a case of Americans practicing religious toleration for Muslims, this is a case of immigrants not practicing religious toleration toward the majority culture. I am dumbfounded to find a parallel historical example of where this has ever happened before. There aren’t any. All we see here is a misapplication of the Marxist concept of social justice. I am the infidel that Allah warned Muslims about. It is not that I want to bring harm to Muslims, I do not. It is not that I want to restrict the free exercise of the Islamic religion, I do not. What I will not tolerate are immigrants and members of the minority culture dictating to me what my religious and lifestyle choices will be. I will not comply and I will not be silent. Sharia Law and its dictates are equivalent of “yelling fire in a crowded auditorium”. And since our Congress is in love with pre-crime enforcement, Sharia Law must be banned. I am not calling for the banning of Islam, that would be unconstitutional, but I am calling for the banning of Sharia Law inside the United States. And in this sense, I am the infidel that Allah warned Sharia Law advocates about. I would like to ask the President if there is a Clergy Response Team against Muslims? As we learned from Pastor Walter Mansfield, regarding his Clergy Response Team training for his anticipated duties within FEMA camps, pastors will be forbidden to quote the Bible and talk about Jesus. Is there such a prohibition placed upon the Islamic religion? Well, we know the answer to that question. Conclusion In order to understand the heinous nature of where this is going, one only has to count to three if one truly desires to understand this final push to eliminate the Constitution Create a Hegelian Dialectic where it is made to appear Muslims are being persecuted in disproportionation numbers. Perpetrate a false flag against the Muslims which will lead to the elimination of the First and possibly the Second Amendment. Continue to flood the United States with unscreened Muslim immigrants intent on bringing the intolerant Sharia Law and begin to erode the Christian influence in this country. These three steps will lead to stripping away traditional American culture resulting in the fall of the American empire, in the same manner that the Roman empire fell. Meanwhile, the country continues in its date with national erosion and ultimate destruction just as we are witnessing in Europe. We know that the terrorist organization the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the White House. My advice to the 90% of Muslims who seek no conflict with other religions is to reject the victim mentality that is being falsely thrust upon you by the Obama administration. It is a divide and conquer technique. We saw this administration employ these tactics in their racial divide and conquer strategies in Ferguson, MO. and in Baltimore. The independent media put a stop to these practices by publicly exposing these practices. To Muslims who merely seek to lead their lives and be left along by an intrusive Obama administration, reject this false political call to arms.

Job cuts surged 218% in January

Akin Oyedele Feb. 4, 2016, 7:40 AM

Layoff announcements surged 218% from December to January, led by the retail and energy sectors.

The latest monthly report from the staffing firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas on planned job showed that US employers in January reported 75,114 planned job cuts, up 42% year-on-year. Retailers moved the needle on this data point the most, particularly Walmart, which announced plans to close 154 stores across America. So really, that's the catch behind the big jump from December. Planned job cuts by Macy's that would affect nearly 5,000 employees also pushed up the total, according to the release. The staffing firm also said energy-sector layoffs were making a comeback. John A. Challenger, CEO of Challenger, Gray and Christmas, said: "The pace of downsizing in the energy sector ebbed in the second half of 2015, but the latest activity, which included more cuts from Halliburton and Schlumberger, is evidence the industry is far from concluding its cost-cutting initiatives."

FOR WHOM THE BAAL TROLLS (THE CONCLUSION — PART SEVEN)

February 4, 2016 by SkyWatch Editor

The Conclusion PART ONE / PART TWO / PART THREE / PART FOUR /PART FIVE / PART SIX

By Dr. Thomas R. Horn

When considering the seven parts of this short series FOR WHOM THE BAAL TROLLS, it should be frighteningly clear that those who lack discipline in their thought life and troll believers while “playing church” are actually playing with fire. We cannot help but shudder at some of the congregants we have known through the years who similarly surrendered their minds to malevolent religious spirits and afterward left a trail of questions, division, and destruction in their wake. As the reader, perhaps you too at one time observed damage done to a person(s) either online or at a local fellowship before the offending party(s) moved down the road to repeat their mayhem elsewhere, and were confused by what you could or should do about it, if anything. That’s partly why I wrote these seven parts concerning troublesome individuals (trolls) because real Christians are often unsure over what role, if any, spiritual warfare should play with respect to them—especially given that Ephesians 6:12 says “we wrestle not against flesh and blood.” Yet hermeneutically speaking, it is often impossible to discern exactly how “principalities and powers” engage the church in warfare without taking the human element into account—that sometimes people, because of the choices they make, are the problem, or least a part of it. Second Timothy 4:14–15 illustrates that this is not a contradiction of Ephesians 6:12, as the writer of Ephesians himself refers to a man named Alexander the coppersmith, saying that he “did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words [the Gospel].” The great commentator Matthew Henry says this text illustrates that “there is as much danger from false brethren, as from open enemies.” Though Paul wrote the book on spiritual warfare, including the phrase, “we wrestle not against flesh and blood,” he did not blame immaterial spirits that may have been operating behind Alexander the coppersmith. He named the man himself as the culprit and warned Timothy to beware the damage he could do to the work of the ministry. The point to be made from this is not one of personal revenge toward a wrongdoer, but that wisdom is needed during spiritual warfare because prayer is most profitable when it is directed with specificity—in this case, recognizing the source of the problem, the conduit, even when it is made of flesh. Jesus likewise verbalized the difference between people who attend religious services (whether brick-and-mortar facilities or today’s virtual church world) and become tools for evil as opposed to good, and we note with particular interest His genius in using the small yet powerful word “of” to contrast the two for His followers. In John 8:44, He said of the Pharisees, “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do” (emphasis added), while in Luke 9:51–56, when James and John wanted to call fire down from heaven upon Samaritan villagers, He rebuked them and said, “Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives; but to save them” (emphasis added). This amazing yet insightful little term “of” probes beyond temporal human activity to identify whose dominion one belongs to and what spirit holds one’s allegiance and offers one motivation. The Pharisees were “of” their father the devil, while the disciples James and John were still learning the nature of the spirit they were “of.” The Word of God was therefore used by the Pharisees—the ancient “trolls” they were—as a tool for destruction, illustrating what spirit they were “of,” while Jesus and His followers used the same tool to give life to others. Some years ago, my wife Nita worked in a state department beneath a woman who was driven by similar thirst for Pharisee-like church authority and who not only made a habit of demeaning those under her but actually seemed to delight in being as hurtful as possible to people she viewed as not having the same level of political influence she did (though later she was disciplined for conspiring against state leaders). Her spirit seemed to especially enjoy using the Bible as a weapon to denigrate and control others. Nita did her best to simply stay out of the woman’s way, but wasn’t always successful. One day, with the woman’s department informational packet scheduled to be mailed and a distressed-looking secretary whose job it was to get them collated looking for assistance, Nita jumped in to help. A few moments later, the woman who could wield the Word like an unholy sword (Proverbs 12:18) came in and began reciting a finely tuned sermon from memory. She was good with words and practiced at sermonizing, and this three-pointer was especially designed to illustrate this fact and to demean anybody not as eloquently instructed as she. When finished, she looked at Nita and said, “So, Nita, where are you in God’s Word, hmm?” The sermon had its intended effect, and for a few moments Nita felt as unworthy to be in that office as the supervisor had probably hoped she would. Who am I, really, to serve in this capacity as state director for a girl’s ministry? she thought to herself. I don’t preach, don’t prophesy, and don’t do miracles. I didn’t even have time for devotions this morning. As the two-edged swordswoman cocked her head, somehow knowing she had found important organs, Nita answered, “Well, I usually have devotions each day. Right now, I’m using My Utmost for His Highest as an outline with my Bible reading.” Then, for some reason, she added, “But, I didn’t have devotions this morning. Time got away from me, and I had to hurry and hit the road to get here on time.” It was a two-hour drive to the office one way. “Well, Nita,” swordswoman replied caustically, turning aristocratically to walk away, “We must make sure that we are in God’s Word so that we can be good examples to those under our leadership.” After helping the secretary finish her work, Nita returned to her office and placed her head in her hands. “Lord, why did you bring me here?” she prayed. “There are so many other women who are much more qualified than I am to lead this department. Women who somehow manage to read the Bible every day, quote Scriptures at the drop of a hat, and rattle off a perfect homiletic.” Nita brooded and cried over the slight for nearly two weeks. Just to think that she had displeased her supervisor, set a poor example for the secretary, such shame. Then, a few days later, still feeling the pain, still asking God if she should resign so that a more worthy person like the supervisor could fill her spot, a profound but still quiet voice whispered to her, “Nita, your qualification to do what I have called you to do is not measured by where you are in my Word. The question is not ‘Where are you in my Word, but where is my Word in you?’ Satan knows my Word and can quote it ad nauseam, but it is not within him to do my will.” In that moment, Nita bowed her head and asked forgiveness for doubting her placement in the state office. Nita learned a valuable lesson that day. One I hope you will keep in mind whenever you or somebody you know is under attack by demonic trolls. Knowing what spirit one is of and embracing the Word of God accordingly is vitally important, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any [troll’s] twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart…. Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:12-16).

Michigan ISIS supporter planned church massacre, beheadings

FBI arrests Palestinian Muslim armed with an arsenal of assault weapons, who planned beheadings and other attacks in name of ISIS.

By David Rosenberg First Publish: 2/7/2016, 11:08 AM

A Michigan man arraigned in a federal court in Detroit last Thursday allegedly plotted to murder police officers and commit terror attacks at a Detroit-area church and local hospital. According to the Detroit Free Press, the FBI has reported that 21 year old Khalil Abu-Rayyan had trained with AK-47 and AR-15 style assault rifles and had amassed an arsenal of guns in preparation for planned terror attacks at an unnamed church and hospital. While refusing to name either target, the FBI did reveal that the church being targeted was a large congregation, able to house about 6,000 members. Abu-Rayyan, who identified himself as a Palestinian Muslim, also planned beheadings and carried a large knife for that express purpose. Though Abu-Rayyan has expressed support for the ISIS terror organization, no formal charges of terrorism have yet been made against him. His Thursday court appearance related to previous charges of drug possession and carrying illegally concealed weapons. It is unclear whether Abu-Rayyan planned the attacks in isolation or in coordination with other ISIS members.

Thousands of Palestinians turn out for terrorists' funerals in West Bank

Thousands of Palestinians in the West Bank village of Kabatiya turned out for the funeral of three locals Friday who carried out Wednesday’s terrorist attack near the Old City of Jerusalem. The large turnout was reported despite the fact that Israeli security forces have maintained a closure on Kabatiya, imposed just hours after the attack which claimed the life of a Border Policewoman. Israeli authorities on Friday handed back the bodies of the three men. Their corpses were given to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society after Israel reportedly conditioned the exchange on a pledge from the families not to use their funerals as a stage for a political rally and procession. The three men were from the West Bank town of Jenin and the nearby village of Kabatiya. Hadar Cohen, a 19-year-old Border Policewoman, was killed and another female officer critically wounded in the attack at Damascus Gate by three Arab terrorists wielding machine guns, pipe bombs and knives. All three assailants were shot dead at the scene. Their explosives did not detonate and were later neutralized by a police bomb disposal team. etc. and the news story continues..

Egyptian police shoot four suspected militants in raid near Cairo

Egyptian police shot dead four suspected Islamist militants inside a house a few miles from central Cairo, the interior ministry said on Sunday, the third such incident in as many weeks. It said the men belonged to Ajnad Misr, a group that emerged in January 2014 and has targeted security forces in and around Cairo. The suspects had opened fire first, it said. "Engagement resulted in the death of four known elements and the uncovering of an assault rifle, a 9mm pistol, an improvised firearm, a car previously used in many terrorist attacks, and a motorcycle without license plates," a ministry statement said. The men were suspects in the killing of two policemen, a soldier and a civilian and they were also suspected of blowing up a police vehicle and bombing a security checkpoint, it said. Egypt is fighting an Islamist insurgency in Sinai that gained momentum in mid-2013 when the military ousted Muslim Brotherhood president Mohamed Mursi after mass protests against his rule. Hundreds of soldiers and police have been killed. etc. and the news story continues.

Hamas executes member who may have betrayed Deif's location

Gaza terror group kills one of own for alleged ethical offenses, was likely suspected of cooperating with Israel and revealing the location of leader of group's military wing.

Elior Levi Published: 02.07.16, 20:41 / Israel News

Gaza-based Palestinian terror group Hamas on Sunday executed a member who allegedly gave Israel the hideout of Mohammed Deif, leader of the group's military wing, during 2014's Operation Protective Edge. Hamas announced that they executed Mahmoud Eshtewi because of what they dubbed offenses of conduct and ethics. The nature of the offense was not given, but it is likely that Eshtewi was suspected of collaborating with Israel. etc. and the news story continues.

Leaders say Turkey is reaching limits but will keep taking in refugees

By MEHMET GUZEL and SUZAN FRASER Associated Press

KILIS, Turkey Turkey has reached the end of its “capacity to absorb” refugees but will continue to take them in, the deputy premier said Sunday, as his country faced mounting pressure to open its border to tens of thousands of Syrians who have fled a government onslaught. The United Arab Emirates meanwhile joined Saudi Arabia in saying that it was open to the idea of sending ground troops to Syria to battle the Islamic State group, raising the possibility of even greater foreign involvement in the five-year-old civil war. Turkish authorities say up to 35,000 Syrians have massed along the border, which remained closed for a third day on Sunday. The governor of the Turkish border province of Kilis said Saturday that Turkey would provide aid to the displaced within Syria, but would only open the gates in the event of an “extraordinary crisis.” Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus told CNN-Turk television that Turkey is now hosting a total of 3 million refugees, including 2.5 million Syrians. etc. and the news story continues.

United States Exposed for Being Complicit in Arming and Training Child Soldiers in Afghanistan

By Jay Syrmopoulos

The killing of a 10-year-old Afghan boy, Wasil Ahmad, by Taliban forces has raised serious questions about the United State’s creation and backing of a militia group using of child soldiers. Ahmad has been lionized as a national hero in Afghanistan after his death on Monday in the Uruzgan province at the hands of Taliban militants. The boy had previously gained national prominence for helping militia forces break an insurgent siege after his uncle had been wounded. Ahmad’s death, while fighting alongside his uncle, with a U.S. supported government militia called the Afghan Local Police (ALP) has thrust the grim practice of child soldiers in combat into the international spotlight once again. “There’s nothing heroic about putting a child in danger by arming him and having him fight in a war. The Taliban killed 10-year-old Wasil Ahmad, but those who encouraged him to fight bear responsibility as well,” Patricia Gossman, the senior Afghanistan researcher for Human Rights Watch, told The Guardian. Afghan government officials said Ahmad was not formally part of the Afghan Local Police, but his uncle, with whom he fought alongside, was an official member of the group, according to The Guardian. Created in 2010, the Afghan Local Police, known as ALP, is largely an invention of the US military, and was initially overseen by elite US special operations forces. Critics have long pointed to persistent human-rights abuse allegations within an entity they fear provides cover for the empowerment of militias. According to a US government audit in October, the US Defense Department has provided $469.7m to the ALP from inception through April 2015, and estimates that the force will cost approximately $121m annually to sustain. The same audit chided the Pentagon for lacking plans to disband the ALP or transition its 30,000 fighters to the official security services after US sponsorship ends, a switch currently slated for September. When asked by The Guardian for comment about the U.S. funding militia groups that field child soldiers, the Pentagon and U.S. Central Command both refused to comment, with the Pentagon directing attention to a State Department policy on aid to foreign militaries. etc. and the news story continues.

Greece Seizes ISIS-Linked Weapons Shipment

The Greek coastguard has seized a ship loaded with thousands of undeclared, carefully concealed weapons, and possibly explosives, en route from Turkey to Libya. Local media claims the ship is linked to Islamic State (IS) and to companies who have previously smuggled goods to Syria – the Turkish foreign minister denies this. The ship had come from Alexandretta in Egypt on to the Turkish port of Iskenderun, and was bound for the Libyan port of Misrata – a stronghold of the Muslim Brotherhood-linked group “Libya Dawn.” It was raided on Tuesday 20 nautical miles off Create and has now been escorted to the port of Heraklion where searches began on Wednesday. The ship flies under a Bolivian flag, but its seven-member crew are thought to be from Syria, Egypt and India. Greek language website kathimerini.gr claims the firm who are registered as owning the ship were identified by American arms trafficking researchers Odessa Network as making nine shipments to Syria in 2012, possibly from Russian and Ukraine.

Exclusive: Iran wants euro payment for new and outstanding oil sales - source

NEW DELHI | By Nidhi Verma

Iran wants to recover tens of billions of dollars it is owed by India and other buyers of its oil in euros and is billing new crude sales in euros, too, looking to reduce its dependence on the U.S. dollar following last month's sanctions relief. A source at state-owned National Iranian Oil Co (NIOC) told Reuters that Iran will charge in euros for its recently signed oil contracts with firms including French oil and gas major Total, Spanish refiner Cepsa and Litasco, the trading arm of Russia's Lukoil. "In our invoices we mention a clause that buyers of our oil will have to pay in euros, considering the exchange rate versus the dollar around the time of delivery," the NIOC source said. Lukoil and Total declined to comment, while Cepsa did not respond to a request for comment. Iran has also told its trading partners who owe it billions of dollars that it wants to be paid in euros rather than U.S. dollars, said the person, who has direct knowledge of the matter. Iran was allowed to recover some of the funds frozen under U.S.-led sanctions in currencies other than dollars, such as the Omani rial and UAE dhiram. Switching oil sales to euros makes sense as Europe is now one of Iran's biggest trading partners. "Many European companies are rushing to Iran for business opportunities, so it makes sense to have revenue in euros," said Robin Mills, chief executive of Dubai-based Qamar Energy. Iran has pushed for years to have the euro replace the dollar as the currency for international oil trade. In 2007, Tehran failed to persuade OPEC members to switch away from the dollar, which its then President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called a "worthless piece of paper".

Prepare Your Homes And Neighborhoods For The Violence That Is Going To Sweep America

Posted on February 8, 2016 Written by Michael Snyder

The thin veneer of civilization that we all take for granted on a daily basis is beginning to disappear, and a new era of chaos and anarchy is coming to our cities. I don’t know if you have noticed, but violence is increasing on the streets of America. Over Memorial Day weekend, 29 people were shot in Baltimore and 55 people were shot in Chicago. But of course the trend that I am talking about is much broader than that. According to the FBI, the number of police officers “feloniously killed” in the line of duty rose by an astounding 89 percent in 2015. We live at a time when Americans are becoming extremely angry and extremely frustrated, and this is only going to intensify as economic conditions worsen. But already we have seen some of this anger and frustration boil over into violence in Ferguson and in Baltimore. And you know what? The vast majority of Americans expect more of the same in the coming months. According to a Wall Street Journal/NBC News survey that was recently released, 96 percent of all Americans believe that there will be more civil unrest in America this summer. What we have seen up until now is just the warm up act. The main event is still to come. If things are this bad already, how bad will they be when the next great economic crisis hits this nation and unemployment skyrockets and poverty is everywhere? That is why I am encouraging people that currently live in the heart of our major cities to consider moving. Unfortunately, most Americans are completely dependent on the jobs that they currently have, so moving is not really a practical option for a lot of people. For those that cannot move, you are just going to have to get prepared right where you are. That means making your home and your family as unattractive a target to potential criminals as you possibly can. The goal should be to avoid a violent confrontation if at all possible. So you will want multiple layers of security between you and those that would potentially harm you and your family. You want to try to deter the bad guys from ever coming on to your property in the first place, but if they do come, you need to be ready to deal with them. At the moment, we are still in the midst of relatively stable economic times. But even in these relatively stable times, violence is escalating. Just consider what happened in Baltimore over the recent holiday weekend. A grand total of 29 people were shot… olice say 29 people were shot, 9 of them killed over this weekend, adding to the record-breaking violence. The shooting didn’t stop on Monday night after a 9-year-old boy and another man were both injured by gun fire in the 2900 block of Arunah Avenue. Police say the child was shot in the leg and another man suffered a graze wound to the head. Overall, this past month has been the deadliest month for Baltimore in 15 years. Things are even worse in the city of Chicago. Over this past weekend, 55 people got shot… Twelve people were killed and at least 43 — including a 4-year-old girl — were wounded in shootings across Chicago this Memorial Day weekend, police said. The 4-year-old, identified by her family as Jacele Johnson, was shot about 8 p.m. Friday in the West Englewood neighborhood. She and her 17-year-old cousin Romare Wilson were inside an SUV in the 7000 block of South Justine when another vehicle pulled up and someone inside opened fire, according to their family and Chicago Police. Early in April, I went on the record and specifically named Chicago and Baltimore as two of the cities where we would be seeing civil unrest. Since that time we have seen horrible rioting in Baltimore and the violence in Chicago continues to spiral out of control. Other experts are issuing similar warnings. For example, consider what an assistant professor at New Jersey City University recently had to say… Urban unrest expert Dr. Max Herman says that the United States is on the “cusp” of a wave of domestic disorder and that the country will see more race riots. Herman, Assistant Professor of Sociology at New Jersey City University, told the New Republic’s Joel Gillin that the economic downturn, in addition to incidents of police brutality, have provided fertile conditions for civil unrest. He sees the re-emergence of a 60’s-style “protest ideology” amongst black communities which will lead to more disorder. “It’s very clear from studying history that these things tend to run in cycles,” said Herman, adding, “I think we are at the cusp of another cycle.” Author Chris Hedges is saying similar things. The following comes from a recent article about him in the National Post… The United States is primed for a rebellion. So argues Chris Hedges in his new book, Wages of Rebellion, in which the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and polemicist examines revolts from 1700s to the ending of apartheid in South Africa, as well as the “sublime madness” that drives the people at the centre of such rebellions. When asked by the National Post why he wrote his new book, this is what Hedges had to say…

I didn’t write it as a warning or a prediction. I wrote it more as an assessment. I covered disintegrating societies like Yugoslavia. I know how they break down; I know what the warning signs are, so it’s familiar. I don’t think at this point there’s much dispute. Even just the financial indicators in terms of wealth disparity and chronic unemployment. The fact that Congress has a nine-per-cent approval rating. Where I’m coming from, the book is an attempt to explain where we are in this particular historical period. etc. and the news story continues.

There have been plenty of genetically modified embryos made with MR in both the United States and the United Kingdom. In fact, in an attempt to “treat” mitochondrial disease caused by mutations in mtDNA, the U.K. government has given the go-ahead to fertility clinics to use MR to create children with three genetic parents. So how can a headline in a U.K. newspaper claim that the “first” genetically modified embryos have yet to be made? It begins with a deception worthy of a George Orwell novel. The U.K. has a law against genetically modifying embryos intended for reproduction. To allow MR to move forward to the IVF clinic, the law would have to be changed. But instead of changing the law, the government quietly changed the definition of “genetic modification” to exclude MR. Buried in a nearly 50-page report by the U.K.’s Department of Health is a statement that alterations to mtDNA are not considered to be “genetic modification.” Now the Department of Health only deems changes to the DNA in the nucleus to be “genetic modification.” So this is how the headline can claim the “first” genetically modified embryos are still to be created. The January 2016 article by Connor is about altering the DNA in the nucleus of IVF embryos using new gene-editing techniques. Abracadabra! By changing the definition, the U.K. can now ignore all the genetically modified humans who have come before and pretend this is all brand-new. Not everyone is fooled, however.

Conservatives Also Begin Arguing In Favor Of Genetically Modified Humans

February 7, 2016 by SkyWatch Editor

A few years ago, a “conservative” who writes at National Review went after me for scolding him when he claimed replacing the mitochondria in a mother’s egg – which in the future will prevent up to 200 diseases currently linked to mitochondrial functioning – was basically creating an abomination of nature. This was a puzzle to me, until I learned he also works for the Discovery Institute, which seeks to undermine science using their distorted views on religion. Rational conservatives surely must be more nuanced, I thought. Well, I am right. Writing at National Review, Dr. Henry Miller, a physician and molecular biologist who is currently the Robert Wesson Fellow in Scientific Philosophy and Public Policy at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, lays out the case for why modification of embryos is not only a good thing, but essential if we care about healthy babies. The technology is CRISPR/Cas-9 and it is revolutionary. Not only can it knock-out (make inoperative) specific genes, it can knock-in genes as well. it was discovered in bacteria, where the CRISPR-Cas9 system works similar to how the immune system works in humans. It can be revolutionary for for germ-line gene therapy and solving lots of diseases. (READ MORE) etc. and the news story continues.

Beyonce gets political at the Super Bowl: Singer performs 'Black Lives Matter rallying cry' - as her dancers dress as Black Panthers, pay tribute to Malcolm X and demand justice for man shot dead by cops

Beyonce delivered her message during performance of new single Formation at halftime during Super Bowl 50

Her backing dancers appeared dressed as Black Panthers activists with all-black outfits and signature black berets

Several dancers also appeared in an image holding a piece of paper reading 'justice 4 Martin Woods, a black man shot dead by around a dozen police in San Francisco after refusing to drop a knife

The Black Panthers were an armed group involved in the black power movement of the Sixties and Seventies

They followed the teachings of men such as Malcolm X, who advocated the use of violence to overcome oppression

Tina Knowles, Beyonce's mother, also posted an image of herself and the dancers giving the black power salute

Beyonce issued a strong political statement with her halftime show at Super Bowl 50 on Sunday with backing dancers dressed as members of armed rights group the Black Panthers. The superstar brought the dancers on for her new single Formation which is being widely touted as a rallying cry for the Black Lives Matter movement. At one point during the song, the supporting performers formed an 'X' on the field - thought to reference black rights campaigner Malcolm X - and then raised their arms in the air in a gesture referencing the black power salute by Tommie Smith and John Carlos at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics. Following the show, several of the dancers were pictured giving the same salute around a piece of paper that reads 'justice 4 Mario Woods' - a black man shot dead by police in San Francisco last December. Afterwards Beyonce said that she 'wanted people to have love for themselves'. Woods was filmed being shot to death by around a dozen armed police officers in San Francisco after apparently ignoring orders to drop a knife in December last year. Woods was accused of stabbing a man around an hour earlier, but activists hit out at the shooting, saying there were likely other ways to subdue Woods without opening fire, since he wasn't armed with a gun. At the time Police Chief Greg Suhr said his department and San Francisco district attorney's office would investigate the shootings. The dancers, dressed head-to-toe in black, also donned the signature black beret of the political group that operated during the Sixties and Seventies. Beyonce was widely expected to make a political statement during the halftime show which was headlined by Coldplay and also featured Bruno Mars. Anticipation had been building for her performance after she unexpectedly dropped the music video for the song on Saturday. The video, the most political Beyonce has released, showed scenes of white police lining up against a black teenager and graffiti that reads 'stop shooting us'. Another part of the video shows Beyonce in a flooded New Orleans, recalling scenes after Hurricane Katrina in which George Bush was accused of 'not caring about black people' by rapper Kanye West after relief was slow in reaching the area. Within minutes of the video's release, Twitter was awash with reactions to the fiercely political lyrics and scenes - and a cameo role from the singer's four-year-old daughter with Jay Z, Blue Ivy. Several fans hit out at Beyonce over the music video and advocated boycotting the Super Bowl, accusing her of spreading an anti-cop message which only serves to further divide communities. Writing on the singer's Facebook page yesterday, Kristen Wickham said: 'As the wife of a police officer, I am offended by this entire video. Rise above and stay above the strife. 'For a girl who grew up in a privileged, wealthy family, she has no business pandering to those who didn't. She has no idea what struggle is. 'I have unliked you and your husband's pages, deleted all of your songs from my collection and will never buy another thing associated with either of you.' Meanwhile Rebekah Simpson added: 'Planning to boycott the Super Bowl Halftime show. All Lives Matter! I am offended by your song "Formation" and its implication that there is a vast conspiracy in law enforcement against a particular race. 'It is just not so. My husband puts his life on the line for ALL citizens. Do you kiss your loved one good bye each day knowing that there is a high probability that he may not return that evening? The officers that I know serve the community with honor and integrity. I salute them.' Following her Super Bowl performance on Sunday night Twitter was again filled with people supporting Beyonce, claiming she had given a 'history lesson' to viewers. Beyonce spoke afterwards of how thrilling it was to perform at the Super Bowl. etc. and the news story continues.

Pentagon orders commanders to prioritize climate change in all military actions

By Rowan Scarborough - The Washington Times - Sunday, February 7, 2016

The Pentagon is ordering the top brass to incorporate climate change into virtually everything they do, from testing weapons to training troops to war planning to joint exercises with allies. A new directive’s theme: The U.S. Armed Forces must show “resilience” and beat back the threat based on “actionable science.” It says the military will not be able to maintain effectiveness unless the directive is followed. It orders the establishment of a new layer of bureaucracy — a wide array of “climate change boards, councils and working groups” to infuse climate change into “programs, plans and policies.” PHOTOS: U.S. military's deadliest war machines The Pentagon defines resilience to climate change as: “Ability to anticipate, prepare for, and adapt to changing conditions and withstand, respond to, and recover rapidly from disruptions.” To four-star generals and admirals, among them the regional combatant commanders who plan and fight the nation’s wars, the directive tells them: “Incorporate climate change impacts into plans and operations and integrate DoD guidance and analysis in Combatant Command planning to address climate change-related risks and opportunities across the full range of military operations, including steady-state campaign planning and operations and contingency planning.” The directive, “Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience,” is in line with President Obama’s view that global warming is the country’s foremost national security threat, or close to it. Mr. Obama says there is no debate on the existence of man-made global warming and its ensuing climate change. Supporters of this viewpoint label as “deniers” any scientists who disagree.

'We Are All Going To Suffer' - Jim Rogers: 'Be Knowledgeable, Be Worried And Be Prepared'

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

With a 33 percent spike reported in executives talking to analysts and investors about U.S. recessions fears on earning calls, in just the last year, the plunging oil prices, retail woes, the volatile stock market over the last months, and talk of a world economic "death spiral," we are seeing more and more investors, traders, economists and other financial insiders expressing concerns. Businessman, economist, investor and author Jim Rogers joined Crush The Street for a wide ranging interview about the economy with some dire predictions where he asserts that 2016-2017 "will not be good" as he explains how the central banks have lost total control over the markets, what he believes they will do next and why he thinks that "whether it falls apart this year or next, it is going to fall apart - it has to," due to the mistakes the central banks have made in the past. When it all falls apart Rogers assures us that "we are all going to suffer" before stating that he can think of very few places across the globe that won't suffer. Rogers also discusses China's economy, precious metals, the U.S. Dollar and oil prices, but what really resonates is towards the end of the interview when he is asked to offer advice in 2016 and he says "Be knowledgeable, be worried and be prepared because it is going to be a mess," before stating "a lot of us aren't going to make it." (Article continues after the video) VENEZUELA - A WINDOW INTO OUR FUTURE A look at what is happening right now in Venezuela gives us a window into America's future as we witness what happens when a nation collapses, as food line queues start at 3 am, with shoppers saying "Sometimes there’s food and sometimes there isn’t." This spells misery for all but a handful of privileged officials and hangers-on. Real wages fell by 35% last year, calculates Asdrúbal Oliveros, a consultant. According to a survey by a group of universities, 76% of Venezuelans are now poor, up from 55% in 1998. Drugmakers warn that supplies of medicines have fallen to a fifth of their normal level. Many pills are unavailable; patients die as a result. In Caracas food queues at government stores grow longer by the week. Shortages will get even worse in March, worries a food-industry manager. Violent crime is out of control. According to The Economist, it is going to get worse for Venezuela as they point out the predictive analysis from the IMF, and as they fall back to the same pattern that Rogers discusses in the interview above, asserting that we are seeing central banks print money to cover an unsustainable debt: The government has admitted that in the 12 months to September 2015 the economy contracted by 7.1% and inflation was 141.5%. Even Nicolás Maduro, Chávez’s hapless heir and successor, called these numbers “catastrophic”. The IMF thinks worse is in store: it reckons inflation will surge to 720% this year and that the economy will shrink by 8%, after contracting by 10% in 2015. The Central Bank is printing money to cover much of a fiscal deficit of around 20% of GDP. A look into the effects of the "Great Recession," tells us exactly what will happen during the next one, which by many accounts will be far more devasting that the financial crisis of 2007–08 and U.S. subprime mortgage crisis of 2007–09. Related: 9 Effects of the Recession on Families and How to Cope WE ARE ALL GOING TO SUFFER The effects of the "Great Recession," included, but were not limited to; A rise in unemployment; Housing prices fell; Stock Market prices fell; Residential private investment fell; Net worth of U.S. households and non-profit organisations fell; U.S. total national debt rose; Income levels have dropped substantially and; Approximately 5.4 million people have been added to federal disability rolls as discouraged workers give up looking for work;. According to The Lancet Psychiatry there is also an elevated risk of suicide during times of economic downturn. Many still have not "recovered" from the last recession as we see that 94,062,000 Americans not participating in the labor force, 62 percent of Americans do not have $1,000 in savings, over 35 percent of the U.S. population is on some type of welfare already, and when unemployment, Medicare, and Social Security is factored in, nearly 50 percent of the population is dependent on the Government to survive.... a government that has taken us over $19 trillion in national debt. Even the MSM is admitting that many local economies have still not fully recovered from the last recession: A county-by-county breakdown of local economic performance was issued Monday in the association's 2014 County Economic Tracker. The study spans all 3,069 U.S. counties and suggests the majority of local economies have not fully returned to pre-recession stability. BOTTOM LINE The Great Recession hit Americans hard with many still suffering the effects, the central banks have lost control over the markets and have backed themselves into a corner where they do not have many more resources to continue on with the illusion of recovery, making it clear that when the next collapse happens it is going to make the 2008 crisis seem like a walk in the park. At ANP we agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Rogers........ Be knowledgeable, be worried and most importantly... BE PREPARED!

You Are Watching It!

Posted February 7th, 2016 at 7:07 PM (CST) by Bill Holter & filed under Bill Holter. Dear CIGAs,

The most common question I hear is “when”. When does the system collapse? When will we experience a reset? I think this is a very odd question. Odd because if you stand back far enough you should be able to see “you are watching it”! We are all so close and watching day by day movements, we are missing the big picture. Don’t get me wrong, many know systemically we are a bust but the daily watch for the lights out moment goes on. My point is this, the collapse is happening right before your eyes, “when” is a process and you are watching history! The real global economy is in serious decline. You need no more evidence than declining trade and oil prices. If you would more evidence, Michael Snyder created a recent list http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/22-signs-that-the-global-economic-turmoil-we-have-seen-so-far-in-2016-is-just-the-beginning  for you. What is and has already happened is unprecedented. Again, why ask “when” if you can already see it happening? From a financial standpoint, we are also watching the collapse unfold. Earnings are collapsing across many diverse industries. Just as we saw leading up to the 1987 crash, 2000 and again in 2008 …we witness the “slaughter of the day” after the release of poor earnings or future guidance. Credit default swaps are blowing out across many industries, the most obvious and probably most important is in the energy and banking sectors. The global credit markets are seeing various corporate bonds collapse 5 and 10% on a regular basis …and not industry specific! Here again, you are watching the collapse unfold right before your eyes but question is still “when?”. We of course arrived at this financial/economic point in history with the central banks driving the bus so to speak. Looking back to 1987, 2000 and 2008 we can see each time the reaction was “easing”. Each episode was more serious than the last and took more and more liquidity to keep the system together. The last episode in 2008 took well more than $20 trillion to keep the system from seizing up. Since then, central banks across the world and sovereign treasuries have overextended themselves to the point of insolvency yet many expect them to save the day again. The only tool left is the only tool they have ever really had, “press the accelerator” further. The problem is now the “further” part. “Further” can only mean negative interest rates which will render the system bankrupt by individual parts and then ultimately collectively. There is no logical way to either understand negative interest rates or to expect them to work in any fashion. Investors are screaming for negative rates and as evidenced by Japan’s announcement, negative rates are briefly cheered. The reality however is quite different. Zero percent interest rates and now negative interest rates have and are damaging the banking sector. A Badly Wounded Deutsche Bank Lashes Out At Central Bankers: Stop Easing, You Are Crushing Us. Please understand, Deutsche Bank is sitting on $75 trillion worth of derivatives (AND their CDS rates are beginning to elevate rapidly!), they are telling the central banks to not use the only tool they have! I have said all along, derivatives would be a reason for the lights out moment. We now have volatility and decline resembling the precursor to the Lehman moment in 2008 …only this time with more debt, more derivatives and more interconnectedness within the system. Can any different result than what happened in 2008 be expected? The only difference I can see is the ability to reflate the system no longer exists in any fashion anywhere in the world. The largest derivatives player screaming they are being crushed with low to negative interest rates is simply part of the default process …and you are watching it unfold! Before finishing I do want to point out the activity in gold and the mining shares. Gold is up close to 10% this year and the shares are up a crazy 45% in just two weeks! Something very big has changed. Many are saying it is because negative interest rates are coming, I am not so sure this is why. I believe big money and those running the clown markets understand where we are. I believe they understand no effort at reflation can work this time as we’ve passed that point now. It is my belief we are seeing gold move higher because it cannot “default” when the entire system defaults. What I am saying is this, the deflationary event of derivatives blowing up and taking the financial system with it will also destroy the currencies. The recent announcement http://www.reuters.com/article/us-oil-iran-exclusive-idUSKCN0VE21S by Iran regarding their non-acceptance of dollars for current and past oil is also in the running as a “cause” for a “currency event”. The question must be asked, where does this leave Saudi Arabia? Can they afford to be the last oil producer who accepts dollars and only dollars for oil? Add to this, the military failure by the U.S. in Syria An Exasperated John Kerry Throws In Towel On Syria: “What Do You Want Me To Do, Go To War With The Russians?!” , how does this bode for the support of a global petro dollar? Call this deflation or hyper inflation, it really doesn’t matter what you call it as long as you understand that all currencies including the dollar are credit based. They will collectively collapse along with credit and derivatives. Gold will be the last man standing as “money will trump credit currency” and will be seen as the only lifeboat available. As for “when”, this is really not important because once the derivatives blow, there will not be a “dollar price” for gold as it will ultimately go no offer. No one will be willing to sell their metal until the dust clears. Once it does clear, new currencies will be issued. I do not believe gold will appear for sale until some new currency is brought forth that can be trusted. You are watching the collapse firsthand on a daily basis and in real time. It doesn’t make sense to ask “when?” if you understand you are living through it each day. Your only job, if you understand what is happening is to be prepared. Be prepared to the best of your ability, being just one second too late might as well mean forever! Standing watch, Bill Holter Holter-Sinclair collaboration Comments welcome

A Legend Just Issued This Dire Warning To The World

February 07, 2016

As global markets head into what will surely be another wild trading week, today the man who has become legendary for his predictions on QE, historic moves in currencies, and major global events, just issued a dire warning. Egon von Greyerz: “Eric, I have been expecting 2016 to be a horrible year for the world and the dominos are now starting to fall all around us. The Baltic Dry Freight Index is now 98% below its 2007 high and 46% below the 2015 low. Trade is deteriorating everywhere and South Korea for example just came out with their figures for January which showed an 18.5% drop in January. For a country that is totally dependent on its exports this is a disaster. Trade deficits are now increasing in most countries… etc. and the news article continues..

North Korea's new satellite flew over Super Bowl site

Associated Press By ERIC TALMADGE 7 hours ago

TOKYO (AP) — Here's a bit of Super Bowl trivia: North Korea's newest satellite passed almost right over the stadium just an hour after it ended. Whatever motives Pyongyang may have about using its rocket launches to develop nuclear-tipped long-range missiles, it now has two satellites circling the Earth, according to NORAD, the North American Aerospace Command, which monitors all satellites in orbit. Both of the Kwangmyongsong, or "Shining Star," satellites complete their orbits in about 94 minutes and based on data released by international organizations tracking them, the new one passed almost right over Levi's Stadium about an hour after the Super Bowl ended. "It passed almost directly overhead Silicon Valley, which is where I am and where the stadium is," tech watcher Martyn Williams said in an email to The Associated Press. "The pass happened at 8:26 p.m., after the game. I would put it down to nothing more than a coincidence, but an interesting one." The game in Santa Clara, California, ended at 7:25 p.m. local time. North Korea claims Sunday's successful satellite launch was its fourth. The first two have never been confirmed by anyone else, but experts worldwide agree it got one into orbit in 2012 and NORAD, which is hardly a propaganda mouthpiece for Pyongyang, now has both that and the satellite launched on Sunday on its official satellite list. Kwangmyongsong 4, the satellite launched Sunday, has the NORAD catalog number 41332 and Kwangmyongsong 3-2, launched in 2012, is 39026. They are described as Earth observation satellites, and weigh about 100 kilograms (220 pounds) apiece. Their main applications, according to Pyongyang, are monitoring the weather, mapping natural resources and forest distributions and providing data that might help farmers improve their crops. North Korea's state-run media quoted scientists and researchers at the North's State Hydro-Meteorological Administration as saying Sunday they are "are delighted at the news" of the launch. Its deputy director, Ryu Pong Chol, reportedly said it will give a big boost to North Korean weather forecasters. etc. and the news story continues..

Franklin Graham, son of international evangelist Billy Graham, has lashed out at President Barack Obama’s visit to a mosque, saying on Facebook that “the foundations of this nation have nothing to do with Islam.” They have “everything to do with the Church of Jesus Christ,” said Graham, head of both the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and the Samaritan’s Purse global charity. “Islam cannot save anyone from hell or open the gates of heaven. “Only One can do that: Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who paid the debt of sin for all mankind by giving His life as a sacrifice on Calvary’s cross — where he suffered and died for our sins, took our sins to the grave, and on the third day, God raised Him triumphantly to life.” President Obama visited the mosque, located outside Baltimore, in a deliberate rebuke to Republicans, whom White House aides say have stoked Islamophobia and bigotry following terror attacks inspired by the Islamic State around the world. But Graham said that Jesus Christ is “alive today. Muhammad is dead. “I worship a risen Lord,” he added. “Islam can’t compete with that.” ISLAM VERSUS CHRISTIANITY Islam is a religious system begun in the seventh century by Muhammad. Muslims follow the teachings of the Qur’an and strive to keep the Five Pillars. In the seventh century, Muhammad claimed the angel Gabriel visited him. During these angelic visitations, which continued for about 23 years until Muhammad’s death, the angel purportedly revealed to Muhammad the words of Allah (the Arabic word for “God” used by Muslims). These dictated revelations compose the Qur’an, Islam’s holy book. Islam means “submission,” deriving from a root word that means “peace.” The word Muslim means “one who submits to Allah.”

Muslims summarize their doctrine in six articles of faith:

Belief in one Allah: Muslims believe Allah is one, eternal, creator, and sovereign.

Belief in the angels

Belief in the prophets: The prophets include the biblical prophets but end with Muhammad as Allah’s final prophet.

Belief in the revelations of Allah: Muslims accept certain portions of the Bible, such as the Torah and the Gospels. They believe the Qur’an is the preexistent, perfect word of Allah.

Belief in the last day of judgment and the hereafter: Everyone will be resurrected for judgment into either paradise or hell.

Belief in predestination: Muslims believe Allah has decreed everything that will happen. Muslims testify to Allah’s sovereignty with their frequent phrase, inshallah, meaning, “if God wills.”

These five tenets compose the framework of obedience for Muslims:

The testimony of faith (shahada): “la ilaha illa allah. Muhammad rasul Allah.” This means, “There is no deity but Allah. Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.” A person can convert to Islam by stating this creed. The shahada shows that a Muslim believes in Allah alone as deity and believes that Muhammad reveals Allah.

Prayer (salat): Five ritual prayers must be performed every day.

Giving (zakat): This almsgiving is a certain percentage given once a year.

Fasting (sawm): Muslims fast during Ramadan in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. They must not eat or drink from dawn until sunset.

Pilgrimage (hajj): If physically and financially possible, a Muslim must make the pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia at least once. The hajj is performed in the twelfth month of the Islamic calendar. A Muslim’s entrance into paradise hinges on obedience to these Five Pillars. Still, Allah may reject them. Even Muhammad was not sure whether Allah would admit him to paradise (Surah 46:9; Hadith 5.266). An Evaluation of Islam Compared to Christianity, Islam has some similarities but significant differences. Like Christianity, Islam is monotheistic. However, Muslims reject the Trinity—that God has revealed Himself as one in three Persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Muslims claim that Jesus was one of the most important prophets—not God’s Son. Islam asserts that Jesus, though born of a virgin, was created like Adam. Muslims do not believe Jesus died on the cross. They do not understand why Allah would allow His prophet Isa (the Islamic word for “Jesus”) to die a torturous death. Yet the Bible shows how the death of the perfect Son of God was essential to pay for the sins of believers (Isaiah 53:5-6; John 3:16; 14:6; 1 Peter 2:24). Islam teaches that the Qur’an is the final authority and the last revelation of Allah. The Bible, however, was completed in the first century with the Book of Revelation. The Bible warns against anyone adding to or subtracting from God’s Word (Deuteronomy 4:2; Proverbs 30:6; Galatians 1:6-12; Revelation 22:18). The Qur’an, as a claimed addition to God’s Word, directly disobeys God’s command. Muslims believe that paradise can be earned through keeping the Five Pillars. The Bible, in contrast, reveals that sinful man can never measure up to the holy God (Romans 3:23; 6:23). Only by God’s grace may sinners be saved through repentant faith in Jesus (Acts 20:21; Ephesians 2:8-9). Because of these essential differences and contradictions, Islam and Christianity cannot both be true. The Bible and Qur’an cannot both be God’s Word. The truth has eternal consequences. “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world” – 1 John 4:1-4

Authorities Afraid Of Free Thought And Free Speech - Censorship Around The World Still At High Levels

Submitted To All News PipeLine by Makia Freeman of The Freedom Articles

Censorship is still a big issue around the world. Censorship remains at high levels in many countries, despite the fact that we tend to think we live in a world without that much of it (at least in the so-called “enlightened and developed West”). Why are censorship levels so high? There can really only be one reason for it in the end: our so-called “authorities” are afraid of free thought, free speech and the free flow of information. Why? Because it would uncover their secrets, expose their corruption, contradict their fake narratives, dissolve mental structures and undo notions of citizen obedience and civic duty that have been drilled into us since birth, mainly through military- and Rockefeller-influenced education. Rampant Censorship Around the World If you are still in any doubt about the blatant levels of censorship that exist in our world today, take a look at the following examples. Just days ago, Israel threatened to ban “contrary to reality” headlines by annulling the press credentials of journalists and editors who used them. Turkey has been arresting journalistsfor years, and things have sharply escalated with the very dictatorial President Erdogan who got busted buying oil from and supplying weapons to ISIS. (Erdogan, by the way, is the very same guy that is still trying to get a Turkish citizen thrown in prison for “insulting the President” because the man compared Erdogan to Gollum from Lord of the Rings.) Some nations take it even further; in Thailand you can actually get imprisoned not only for insulting the King, but also for insulting the king’s dog. China is so scared of the free flow of information that they have enormous firewalls maintained by their “Ministry of Truth” that gets to decide what people can and cannot see and read online. In Eritrea and North Korea, there is no independent journalism; all news media is published by the State. Even in the US, where freedom of the press is enshrined and protected in the 1st Amendment, Congresswomen Dianne Feinstein in 2013 put forth an amendment to narrow the definition of journalism and weed out those who were not, as considered by her, “real reporters”. Europe: Considering Banning Hyperlinks Europe, it seems, is doing its best not to be left out of the censorship list. Just this week, the highest court in the European Union was hearing arguments to ban hyperlinks. That’s right: in an extraordinary example of governmental overreach, Europe is actually thinking about upholding a law to ban you from linking to other content and sites on the internet! What’s coming next? Wait for it … a law requiring that we ask the Government the permission to breathe? It is no understatement to say that linking to other sites is one of the key foundational mechanisms of the entire internet. It’s a basic building block of the web. Independent journalist Matt Drudge warned this was coming in October 2015 when he revealed that copyright laws could ban hyperlinking, and that he was told by a Supreme Court justice that “they’ve got the votes now to enforce copyright law”. American Censorship: The Mockingbird Never Died Operation Mockingbird was a CIA Project that began around the late 1940s/early 1950s, led by Frank Wisner, Cord Meyer and Allen Dulles – the latter being the notorious CIA Director who was the ringleader of the men who killed JFK. Of course, control of the media is a central component in any would-be tyrant’s agenda; it is no surprise that such a scheme has been outlined in key conspiracy documents such as the The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, the 10 planks of Communism and also in Orwell’s 1984. By 1975 the control of the press in America by the CIA was so obvious that Senator Frank Church launched an investigation into it. “The Agency’s relationship with [The New York] Times was by far its most valuable among newspapers, according to CIA officials. [It was] general Times policy … to provide assistance to the CIA whenever possible.” – The CIA and the Media, by Carl Bernstein The Mockingbird has never died. The evidence indicates that censorship in America is worse under Obama than before (see the article Obama Is More Hostile Towards The Press Than Any President In History). In 2015, the US dropped to 49th place in the world for press freedom, behind Malta, Niger, Burkino Faso, El Salvador, Tonga, Chile and Botswana. Meanwhile, the CIA continues to control foreign journalists, such as the ones in Germany, and bribes them to write anti-Russian propaganda, as revealed by Udo Ulfkotte. Udo admitted he was “educated to lie and betray, not to tell the truth to the public … by the CIA.” Not Just Political Censorship – Heaps of Health Censorship Too There is not just a lot of political censorship. Look at the massive amount of censorship that exists in the area of health, medicine and nutrition. Big Pharma is given free rein to say anything it wants, yet makers of natural health products can’t truthfully say what a health product does, what effects it has or what results it has. Often, they can’t show testimonials either, thanks to the free speech gestapo at the FDA. All the health censorship is obviously designed to protect the Rockefeller-Big Pharma monopoly on drugs, and prevent people from knowing the truth about natural alternatives and taking their health into their own hands. Political Correctness – The Cunning New Form of Censorship Political correctness is the new censorship – and a cunning one at that. Political correctness is intolerance disguised as tolerance. It is, as the late great comedian George Carlin once said, “awkward, dishonest language” and “fascism pretending to be manners”. Political correctness came from the Rothschild Frankfurt School – part of the broader NWO agenda of cultural Marxism aimed at slowly and softly making you less free. It operates on the premise that if people’s feelings get hurt by certain words, or if people feel insulted, offended or irritated by certain languages, then they have the right to get the State to outlaw that language. As Carlin says: “(Political correctness) presents itself as fairness, yet attempts to restrict and control people’s language with strict codes and rigid rules … I’m not sure silencing people, or forcing them to alter their speech, is the best method for solving problems that go much deeper than speech.” Political correctness works by using guilt and shaming you into using certain words or phrases, and not using others. It often stands reality on its head, with a verbal sleight of hand. It is a clever way to force people to police themselves, and to control the spectrum of allowable thought and speech. It needs to be exposed and resisted by all freedom-loving people. Censorship Only Exists Because the Truth is So Powerful Although this topic of censorship is a sad one, do not be depressed. There is a positive and fundamental truth underlying this issue. Authorities only censor information because THEY can’t handle the truth, not the reverse as it commonly thought. Governments around the world engage in censorship because they are afraid, deadly afraid, of how the free flow of information could undermine their power base. At one level, they don’t trust people to read for themselves, think for themselves and judge the news for themselves. At another level, they fear the exposure of their secrets and corruption. Truth will always be more powerful than lies. And ultimately, a lie can only be censored and can only exist for so long until it is uncovered, exposed, disbelieved and tossed away. Today, we live in an age of uncovering lies and promoting the truth as has never happened before.

Zika Virus and the Pale Horse of the Apocalypse

February 6, 2016 • From theTrumpet.com By Wayne Turgeon

How do the Bible’s prophetic warnings about coming disease epidemics affect you?

The World Health Organization (who) has declared the Zika virus a “public health emergency of international concern.” The virus is linked to the fetal deformity microephaly (which can cause neurological defects and seizures), of which there are now over 4,000 suspected cases in Brazil. Over 20 countries have confirmed cases of the Zika virus, with Brazil having an estimated 1.5 million. According to the who’s estimate, around 4 million cases can be expected by the year’s end. Zika is spreading “explosively” through the Aedes mosquito, as well as through sexual intercourse. Brazil’s, El Salvador’s and Colombia’s governments have recommended putting off becoming pregnant for a number of months. Stratfor predicts lower birth rates could “hasten regional decline.” “Lack of vaccines and rapid and reliable diagnostics tests,” plus the “absence of population immunity in newly affected countries” are “cause for concern,” according to who Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan. American and British authorities have issued travel warnings to affected countries, and a number of blood donation operators have put temporary bans on travelers supplying blood. The Pale Horse For those familiar with Bible prophecy, widespread fear of a global pandemic brings to mind the image of the pale, or sickly, horse of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, as described by the Apostle John in the book of Revelation. The first three horsemen of the apocalypse symbolize religious deception, war and famine. Along with the fourth horseman, pestilence, these riders represent the end-time culmination of the most traumatic problems endured by a rebellious mankind. They picture one of the most ominous scenarios ever. “And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth” (Revelation 6:7-8). The key to the identity of the last horseman is the word pale, which often makes us think of someone who is feeling sick, having an anemic-looking appearance. Pale is translated from the Greek chloros, which we would normally take to mean the color of chlorophyll, the property that gives plants their healthy green appearance. When used biblically, however, chloros means the sickly pale green color of sickness and disease. In Matthew 24, Jesus Christ unlocks the true identity of this pale green horse: “and there shall be … pestilences” (verse 7). The man on the pale horse symbolizes climactic, globe-encircling plagues and pandemics occurring and soon to occur in this modern age! The only reason for this type of extreme punishment is man’s unabated rebellion against his Creator God. “As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth” (Daniel 9:13). The book of Daniel is prophecy for this end time (Daniel 12:4, 9). Let’s examine Deuteronomy 28 (part of the law of Moses) and add modern-day expressions to see more clearly how this warning applies to our time now. “But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee .… The Lord shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it. The Lord shall smite thee with a consumption [chronic, degenerate diseases such as aids], and with a fever, and with an inflammation [malaria or communicative diseases such as influenzas], and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew … with the botch of Egypt [elephantiasis], and with the emerods [tumors, cancer, etc.], and with the scab, and with the itch [aggravated psoriasis and other nutrient-deficiency diseases such as scurvy, rickets, etc.], whereof thou canst not be healed [incurable or drug-resistant diseases] … with madness [mental illness, insanity] and blindness, and astonishment of heart [emotional distresses such as depression]” (Deuteronomy 28:15, 21-22, 27-28). Verse 29 graphically depicts the utter hopelessness of mankind suffering from these and the many other innumerable scourges of our generation. In America, health care remains a controversial subject among lawmakers. Billions of dollars are spent annually. We have too many problems already to try to satisfactorily deal with new ones that seem to pop up without warning. To make matters worse, we live in a small world. And what about the prospect of blatant terrorist attacks that damage air, soil and water quality? Millions are prophesied to die because they fail to heed God’s warnings to turn to Him with the type of contrite attitude necessary to please Him (Isaiah 66:2). God wants true repentance—a turning away from the carnal “human nature” that we possess to the spiritual nature God originally intended us to develop. Beyond the suffering, however, Jesus Christ is returning to this Earth to bring all the joy and happiness man has continually sought after! God will mercifully end the deadly sweep of the four horsemen just before they eradicate mankind from the Earth. The Zika virus may not grow to pandemic levels, but disease epidemics are certain to come.

Sanders becomes first Jew to win a presidential primary

Jessica Estepa, USA TODAY 7:35 a.m. EST February 10, 2016

Bernie Sanders says his victory in New Hampshire sends a message that will "echo from Wall Street to Washington." Sanders says he was lifted by "huge" voter turnout and he says Democrats will need that excitement to win the general election. (Feb. 9) AP Bernie Sanders proved the polls right and triumphed in Tuesday's New Hampshire primary. He also marked another milestone: Sanders became the first Jewish person (and non-Christian) to win a presidential primary. etc.

Bernie Sanders's New Hampshire victory speech: Terrifying

February 10, 2016 By Michael Filozof

I listened to the victory speeches of both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump last night. Frankly, in terms of delivery, Bernie's was a lot better than The Donald's. Trump's speech was mostly extemporaneous happy talk, and not particularly inspiring. On the other hand, Bernie's speech was delivered with profound sincerity and conviction, and his supporters were wildly enthusiastic. His delivery was excellent. It was the content I found to be not just troubling, but frightening. I've never in my life heard such unapologetic, full-throated socialism in American politics. Sanders is the real deal. He's so left-wing he practically makes Obama look like the chairman of the Republican National Committee. At least Obama felt compelled to lie about the true extent of his leftism. Sanders doesn't – and he isn't kidding around. This is damn near Clement Attlee and Fabian socialist-type stuff. True, he's not advocating nationalizing industries (yet), but he's cocksure that he can take as much of anyone else's money as he wants and spend it on just about anything. Free single-payer health care, free college, green energy, no more fossil fuels, $15 minimum wage, end "institutional racism" – Sanders sees no limits on what government can, should, and will do. And "Wall Street" will pay for it all. Yes, Sanders is right that "The System" is rigged in favor of "special interests." But he's not talking about "reform"; he's talking about transforming the federal government into Robin Hood. If Sanders ever read the Fifth Amendment's guarantee that "property" shall not be taken without due process and just compensation, it sure wasn't evident in his victory speech. Sanders is absolutely killing Hillary, especially among millennials. She deserves the thumping she's getting, but Sanders supporters seem blithely ignorant of the fact he has never actually managed anything, and he has absolutely no track record to indicate that he could fulfill his promises – especially given the fact that the country will be $20 trillion in debt by inauguration day. If Bernie's European-style socialism does come to America, it will be an utter disaster. Euro-socialism works because Europe still has a socially stratified society. A British girl who is born a princess or a baroness knows from the time she is a toddler that she is a princess or baroness – and the daughter of a working-class soccer yob knows from the time she is a toddler that she will never, ever be a princess or baroness. The purpose of European socialism is to buy off the lower classes to maintain the existing social order, and the European elites do a reasonably good job of managing socialist programs because maintaining their superior status depends upon it. But in the United States, everyone is born equal under the law. The American attitude was always that any individual could enrich himself beyond his wildest dreams – but his ambition was tempered by the fact that he could just as well fall into complete destitution. Socialism in America would eliminate the latter – but not the former. American socialism would turn into the same kind of corruption, plunder, and special-interest favoritism that Sanders decries in the private sector. But the kids are eating it up. Prior to last night, I thought Hillary would be the Democratic nominee for sure. Now I'm not so certain.

Urban legend or satanic site? A look at “Satan’s Hollow”

Posted 10:50 pm, February 8, 2016, by Suzanne Stratford, Updated at 10:54pm, February 8, 2016

BLUE ASH, Ohio - You won’t find it on a map and can’t see it from the road, but beyond the woods and overgrowth in a quiet Blue Ash community some say, exists a portal to hell,nicknamed Satan’s Hollow. According to Urban Legend the old storm sewer was once used by Satanists as a location for rituals, including sacrificing animals and some claim humans. Although police have repeatedly and emphatically denied any known murders or sacrificial activities at the location. However two Chicago based filmmakers and ghost hunters claim they found evidence of something sinister happening in the old storm sewer. David Scott and John Stephens produce several web shows for their company IPRAstrong and are determined to document proof of the afterlife. After hearing the rumors about Satan's Hollow and a spirit called “The Shadowman” they felt compelled to investigate. “People hear screams at night,” said David Scott, “It’s super creepy.” Seemingly satanic graffiti guided them through the tunnel with the numbers 666 spray-painted in multiple areas among other things as they looked for an area known as “the altar.” Afterward both men were convinced that something supernatural was happening inside the tunnel. “We had a spirit claiming to be the legendary Shadowman,” said David, “When asked who is the Shadowman we got a really, really scary response…it said Satan.” Skeptics call the rumors farfetched and think the biggest threat to people inside the tunnel would be safety concerns from wildlife and/or storm debris. Despite local blogger Rick Fenbers, with the website “CreepyCincinatti.com” says, the storm sewer has continued to grow in popularity among ghost hunters and teenagers, but he says exploring the area is not recommended. Satan’s Hollow sits on private property and police could arrest you. “The owner has made it very clear no one is welcome there,” said Fenbers., An exorcist also questions the property’s folklore. Adam Blai has a Master’s degree in clinical psychology and is a former skeptic turned expert demonologist and advisor for the Roman Catholic Church, performing and training priests in exorcism. “It’s not about opening portals there’s no such thing,” said Adam. Based on his experience, he says Satanists generally perform ceremonies and rituals within the privacy of a home, building or temple that they own. However Adam thinks exploring the tunnel could be dangerous for other reasons, especially if a person is holding equipment attempting to speak with spirits. “You’re implicitly telling the spirit I give you permission to enter part of my body,” said Adam, “That’s where we see a problem.” But both the filmmakers and bloggers recommend people review the information available and decide for themselves.

Zika confirmed in people in Indiana and Ohio, among other states

Laura Ungar, USAToday 6:24 p.m. EST February 9, 2016

Health officials in Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee and Delaware on Tuesday announced the first human cases of Zika in their states, but experts say the risk of contracting the virus locally remains low. Ohio officials said the virus was reported in a 30-year-old Cleveland woman. Indiana officials wouldn't say where in the state the resident who contracted Zika lives, although they did say the person wasn't pregnant and never got sick enough to require hospitalization. Both people had recently traveled to Haiti, one of 30 countries and territories with active Zika virus transmission, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Tennessee resident had recently traveled to South America before returning to east Tennessee, state health officials there say. Delaware's case was also travel-related. Although Zika is a mild illness in most people, doctors connect it to a surge in neurological disorders and the birth defect microcephaly, in which infants are born with abnormally small heads and incomplete brain development. It is usually spread by mosquitoes, but can also spread through unprotected sex, blood transfusions or rarely from mother to child around the time of birth. There's no vaccine or treatment. etc. etc. Overall, Zika has been identified in at least 13 states and Washington, D.C. Federal officials said 50 U.S. cases are associated with travel to affected areas, and one, in Texas, was sexually transmitted. No cases have been spread by mosquitoes in this country, and it's too cold for mosquitoes to be out and biting in most of the United States right now.

IRS says identity thieves breached its systems

By Laura Saunders and Richard Rubin 14 hrs ago

The Internal Revenue Service said Tuesday that it identified an automated attack on its computer systems aimed at getting information that could be used to steal tax refunds. The agency said identity thieves last month used personal data of taxpayers that was stolen elsewhere in an attempt to generate e-file personal identification numbers to file fraudulent returns and claim tax refunds. E-file PINs are used by some individuals to file their tax returns. The numbers are different from Identity Protection PINs, which the IRS gives victims of tax ID theft to protect them from future issues. The agency said it identified unauthorized attempts to obtain e-file PINs for 464,000 Social Security numbers, of which 101,000 successfully accessed an e-file PIN. No personal taxpayer data was disclosed by IRS systems, the agency said. The IRS is notifying affected taxpayers by mail that their personal information was used by criminals. The IRS said it is protecting their accounts against tax ID theft.

A 918 Point Stock Market Crash In Japan And Deutsche Bank Denies That It Is About To Collapse

Submitted by IWB, on February 9th, 2016 By Michael Snyder

On Tuesday junk bonds continued to crash, the price of oil briefly dipped below 28 dollars a barrel, Deutsche Bank was forced to deny that it is on the verge of collapse, but the biggest news was what happened in Japan. The Nikkei was down a staggering 918 points, but that stock crash made very few headlines in the western world. If the Dow had crashed 918 points today, that would have been the largest single day point crash in all of U.S. history. So what just happened in Japan is a really big deal. The Nikkei is now down 23.1 percent from the peak of the market, and that places it solidly in bear market territory. Overall, a total of 16.5 trillion dollars of global stock market wealth has been wiped out since the middle of 2015. As I stated yesterday, this is what a global financial crisis looks like. Just as we saw during the last financial crisis, the big banks are playing a starring role, and this is definitely true in Japan. Right now, Japanese banking stocks are absolutely imploding, and this is what drove much of the panic last night. The following numbers come from Wolf Richter…

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group plunged 8.7%, down 47% from June 2015.

Mizuho Financial Group plunged 6.2%, down 38% since June 2015.

Sumitomo Mitsui plunged 6.2%, down 26% since May 2015

Nomura plunged a juicy 9.1%, down 42% since June 2015

A lot of analysts have been very focused on the downturn in China in recent months, but I think that it is much more important to watch Japan right now. I have become fully convinced that the Japanese financial system is going to play a central role in the initial stages of this new global financial meltdown, and so I encourage everyone to keep a close eye on the Nikkei every single night. Meanwhile, the stock price of German banking giant Deutsche Bank crashed to a record low on Tuesday. If you will recall, Deutsche Bank reported a loss of 7.6 billion dollars in 2015, and I wrote quite a bit about their ongoing problemsyesterday. Things have gotten so bad that now Deutsche Bank has been forced to come out and publicly deny that they are in trouble… Deutsche Bank co-CEO John Cryan moved to quell fears about the bank’s stability Tuesday with a surprise memo saying its balance sheet “remains absolutely rock-solid.” The comments come as investors grow increasingly nervous about the health of European banks, which have taken a hit on the fall in energy prices and which face rising concerns over their cash levels. Of course Lehman Brothers issued the same kind of denials just before they collapsed in 2008. Cryan’s comments did little to calm the markets, and even Jim Cramer saw right through them… “You know, Deutsche Bank puts out a note saying, ‘listen, don’t worry, all good.’ Reminds me of JPMorgan saying if you have to say that you’re creditworthy then it’s already too late.” Another thing that Lehman Brothers did just before they collapsed in 2008 was to lay off workers. We have seen a number of major banks do this lately, including Deutsche Bank… Cryan, 55, has been seeking to boost capital buffers and profitability by cutting costs and eliminating thousands of jobs as volatile markets undermine revenue and outstanding regulatory probes raise the specter of fresh capital measures to help cover continued legal charges. The cost of protecting Deutsche Bank’s debt against default has more than doubled this year, while the shares have dropped about 42 percent. The following chart comes from Zero Hedge. Nobody on the Internet does a better job with charts than Zero Hedge does. I would recommend visiting them right after you visit The Economic Collapse Blog each day (wink wink). This chart shows that Deutsche Bank stock has already fallen lower than it was during any point during the last financial crisisDeutsche Bank is the biggest and most important bank in the biggest and most important economy in the EU, and it has exposure to derivatives that is approximately 20 times Germany’s GDP. If that doesn’t alarm you, I don’t know what will. The biggest financial bubble in the history of the world has entered a terminal phase, and the parallels to the last financial crisis have become so apparent that just about anyone can see them at this point. Just consider some of the ominous warnings that we have seen recently… Billionaire Carl Icahn, for example, recently raised a red flag on a national broadcast when he declared, “The public is walking into a trap again as they did in 2007.” And the prophetic economist Andrew Smithers warns, “U.S. stocks are now about 80% overvalued." Smithers backs up his prediction using a ratio which proves that the only time in history stocks were this risky was 1929 and 1999. And we all know what happened next. Stocks fell by 89% and 50%, respectively. Even the Royal Bank of Scotland says the markets are flashing stress alerts akin to the 2008 crisis. They told their clients to “Sell Everything” because “in a crowded hall, the exit doors are small.” And let’s not forget that famous billionaire retail magnate Hugo Salinas Price has warned that the global economy “is going into a depression“. The chaos that we have seen this week is simply a logical progression of the crisis that began during the second half of last year. If you were to create a checklist of all the things that you would expect to see during the initial stages of a new financial crisis, all of the boxes would be checked. In the days ahead, keep your eyes on Germany and Japan. Yes, the Italian banking system is completely collapsing right now, but I believe that what is happening in Germany is going to be the key to the meltdown of Europe, and I am convinced that Deutsche Bank is going to be the star of the show. Meanwhile, don’t underestimate what is taking place in Japan. The Japanese still have the third largest economy on the entire planet, and their financial system is essentially a Ponzi scheme built on top of a house of cards that has a rapidly aging population as the foundation. As Japan falls, that will be a signal that financial Armageddon is now upon us. And after last night, it appears that moment is a lot closer than a lot of us may have thought.

Keep Your Seatbelt Fastened – Another Round Of Panic In Stocks Is Likely

February 09, 2016

On the heels of the Nikkei plunging 8.5 percent in the past two trading sessions, a legend in the business is telling people to keep their seat belts fastened because another round of panic in stocks is likely. King World News note: The piece below refers to the “Taper Tantrum.” The term “Taper Tantrum” refers to the surge in US treasury yields (global government bond yields as well), in summer of 2013 when then-Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke put a spotlight on the wind down of Fed asset purchases (tapering off QE). Here is a portion of today’s note from legend Art Cashin: Of Canaries, Mine Shafts And Other Warning Signals – Brian Reynolds hangs his hat at New Albion Partners and follows the stock market with a bit of a different perspective. For years, Brian has maintained that U.S. pensions are so underfunded and desperate for yield in a ZIRP environment that they change their risks profiles. They hire hedge funds who then lever their money into equities. Brian’s thesis has allowed him to make some great market calls in the last couple years. Monday, however, Brian sent a somewhat cautionary note to clients. Here’s what he wrote: In this morning’s column we highlighted the surge in our insurance company CDS index up to the 112 basis point area. We wrote “The most worrisome thing we are looking at in the near term is insurance company credit derivatives.” Since we published this morning, the surge in that index has worsened to 131 basis points. But, because these are illiquid, lightly traded instruments, the surge is even more pronounced than our index would indicate. So, we are running charts of the CDSs of MET and PRU to illustrate what is happening. In our December 18 column titled “Post-Fed Insurance”, we noted that insurance company credit derivatives were benign despite all the macro worries about credit and the fact that they are major owners of corporate bonds. We wrote that “…insurance company credit derivatives are now the cheapest form of protection against a crisis”. In our earlier column today we wrote “This is the most negative thing for the near-term stock market that we see, as it tells us that bearish macro investors are now beginning to deploy capital”. They have now deployed more of it. We said this move was like the Taper Tantrum, but we hadn’t seen this type of action in three years, so it was worth noting. It is now bigger than the Taper Tantrum, and is somewhere between the 2012 London Whale saga and the U.S. 2011 downgrade in magnitude. We concluded this morning that our metrics had deteriorated to the point where another round of panic in stocks is somewhat more likely than not. Our short-term metrics are worse now. Overnight And Overseas – Tokyo got slammed, down over 5% but a good chunk of that is thought to be “catch- up”. Europe began a bit more stable but has resumed selling as the session wore on. Oil moves back below $30 on signs of more inventory growth. U.S. futures suggest we may be headed for a retest of the Monday lows. Consensus – Banks on three continents getting whacked. Lots of chatter on Fed memo that suggests it may lack legal authority to go negative on rates. Watch crude and CDS on banks and insurers. Keep your seatbelt fastened and stay wary, alert and very, very nimble. ***Felix Zulauf’s remarkable audio interview, where he discusses the gold market and tells listeners exactly how they can avoid wealth confiscation as well as how the global collapse will unfold, and much more, has now been released and you can access it by CLICKING HERE OR ON THE IMAGE BELOW. ***ALSO JUST RELEASED: Change In Global Markets Is Now Happening Violently, Look For More Carnage, Plus A Note From Fred Hickey CLICK HERE.

Economics Professor: Negative Interest Rates Aimed at Driving Small Banks Out of Business and Eliminating Cash Submitted by George Washington on 02/09/2016 17:33 -0500

More than one-fifth of the world’s total GDP is in countries which have imposed negative interest rates, including Japan, the EU, Denmark, Switzerland and Sweden. Negative interest rates are spreading worldwide. And yet negative interest rates – supposed to help economies recover – haven’t prevented Japan and Europe’s economies from absolutely going down the drain. Nor have they even stimulated spending. As ValueWalk points out: Japan has had ultra-low rates for years and its economy has been terrible. Trillions of debt in Europe now trades at negative interest rates and its economy isn’t exactly booming. Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland all have negative interest rates, but consumer spending isn’t going up there. In fact, savings rates have been going up in lockstep with the decrease in interest rates, exactly the opposite of what the geniuses at the various central banks expected. Why is this happening? Simply, savers are scared. Lower interest rates have wrecked their retirement plans. Say you were doing some financial planning 10 years ago and plugged in 3% from your savings account. Now its 0%. You still have to plan for your retirement. Plug in 0%. What happens to your planning now? 0% compounded for X years is 0%. The math is simple. So in order to have your target savings at retirement, you need to save more, not spend more. But for some reason, the economists that run central banks around the world can’t see this. They are all stuck in their offices talking to one another and self-reinforcing this myth that they can drive spending up by reducing the rate of return on investments. Want to see consumer spending go up? Don’t wreck their savings plans so that they are too scared to spend. But that’s too simple. Instead, central banks use a chain of causation that doesn’t exist to try to create change 3 or 4 steps down the line. It hasn’t worked, and it won’t work. It isn’t in an individual’s self-interest to go out and spend their money on more “stuff” in order to spur economic growth. So what’s really going on? Why are central banks worldwide pushing negative interest rates? Economics professor Richard Werner – the creator of quantitative easing – notes: The experience of Switzerland [shows that] negative rates raise banks’ costs of doing business. The banks respond by passing on this cost to their customers. Due to the already zero deposit rates, this means banks will raise their lending rates. As they did in Switzerland. In other words, reducing interest rates into negative territory will raise borrowing costs! If this is the result, why do central banks not simply raise interest rates? This would achieve the same result, one might think. However, there is a crucial difference: raised rates will allow banks to widen their interest margin and make their business more profitable. With negative rates, banks’ margins will stay low and the financial situation of the banks will stay precarious and indeed become ever more precarious. As readers know, we have been arguing that the ECB has been waging war on the ‘good’ banks in the eurozone, the several thousand small community banks, mainly in Germany, which are operated not for profit, but for co-operative members or the public good (such as the Sparkassen public savings banks or the Volksbank people’s banks). The ECB and the EU have significantly increased regulatory reporting burdens, thus personnel costs, so that many community banks are forced to merge, while having to close down many branches. This has been coupled with the ECB’s policy of flattening the yield curve (lowering short rates and also pushing down long rates via so-called ‘quantitative easing’). As a result banks that mainly engage in traditional banking, i.e. lending to firms for investment, have come under major pressure, while this type of ‘QE’ has produced profits for those large financial institutions engaged mainly in financial speculation and its funding. The policy of negative interest rates is thus consistent with the agenda to drive small banks out of business and consolidate banking sectors in industrialised countries, increasing concentration and control in the banking sector. It also serves to provide a (false) further justification for abolishing cash. And this fits into the Bank of England’s surprising recent discovery that the money supply is created by banks through their action of granting loans: by supporting monetary reformers, the Bank of England may further increase its own power and accelerate the drive to concentrate the banking system if bank credit creation was abolished and there was only one true bank left – the Bank of England. This would not only get us back to the old monopoly situation imposed in 1694 when the Bank of England was founded as a for-profit enterprise by private profiteers. It would also further the project to increase control over and monitoring of the population: with both cash and bank credit alternatives abolished, all transactions, money creation and allocation would be implemented by the Bank of England. If this sounds like a “conspiracy theory”, the Financial Times argued in 2014 that central banks would be the real winners from a cashless society: Central bankers, after all, have had an explicit interest in introducing e-money from the moment the global financial crisis began… The introduction of a cashless society empowers central banks greatly. A cashless society, after all, not only makes things like negative interest rates possible, it transfers absolute control of the money supply to the central bank, mostly by turning it into a universal banker that competes directly with private banks for public deposits. All digital deposits become base money.

When You Are Told That 'You Are Not Allowed To Walk In Your Own City Anymore' - It Is Too Late

February 9, 2016 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

The headlines comes from the video you will see directly below with English subtitles that have been verified as accurate by Michelle Malkin who checked with a German teacher to authenticate the translation. Via the YouTube description: Published on Jan 31, 2016 -Last Thursday a worried grandfather voiced his concerns about the increasing incidents of sexual harassment of young girls on their way to school by migrants in a meeting in the German town of Bad Schlema. His own granddaughter has been victim of sexual harassment and he fears it will be much worse when girls will wear less clothing in the summer or dress for physical education. The mayor's reply angered the over 100 citizens who were present: "It's simple, don't provoke them and don't walk in these areas." The crowd went furious, some mocked the absurdity of not being able to walk to school in your own town, some demanded he step down immediately. Later the situation escalated and the Mayor threatened to call the police and clear the room because of incitement of hatred. He said it's "technically not necessary to walk near the refugee shelters, there are alternative routes." One of the attendees sarcastically shouted back: "Yeah lets all keep a one metre distance. It's all so easy. - You're not allowed to walk in your own city anymore." Even without the subtitles in the video above, it is clear that the citizens were understandably outraged at the Mayor's assertion that the native citizenry must conform rather than the Muslim "refugees" being forced to act civilized and stop attacking children. As I have previously highlighted in an article titled "RAPEAGEDDON' Headed To America - Time For Women Across This Nation To Arm Themselves And Prepare To Defend Their Lives," this is not the first time that concerned citizens have been told to alter their lives, routines and even their mode of dress to appease Muslim "refugees," as was reported back in September 2015 by the Gatestone Institute: Police in the Bavarian town of Mering, where a 16-year-old-girl was raped on September 11, have issued a warning to parents not to allow their children to go outside unaccompanied. In the Bavarian town of Pocking, administrators of the Wilhelm-Diess-Gymnasium have warned parents not to let their daughter's wear revealing clothing in order to avoid "misunderstandings." It is not just in Germany though that we are seeing this type of Muslim appeasement and allowing these "refugees" free reign while citizens are forced to conform as seen in a report from last week, which states "Swedish social workers were told that an in-house memorial service for one of their murdered peers was forbidden because it might upset Muslim refugees." Alexandra Mezher, 22, was killed Jan. 25 in Mölndal, Sweden, while trying to break up a fight between two teenagers. The young woman died of stab wounds inflicted by a migrant. Related: The Big List Of Muslim Sex Attacks Gets Bigger NEWSFLASH FOR THE 'IT CAN'T HAPPEN IN AMERICA' CROWD - IT ALREADY HAS Inevitably cries of Islamophobia and racism (despite the fact that Islam is not a race it is a religion) are heard whenever anyone dares point out the truth, but my favorite piece of denial is when we see folks claim "it can't happen in America," as multiple reports prove without a doubt it already has! A few examples shown below: Schools in Maryland changing the calendars by removing religious holidays due to pressure from Muslim groups to include Islamic holidays. Easter egg hunts were changed to "academic egg" hunt at Heritage Elementary School in Madison, Alabama, with the school citing "religious diversity" conflicts. "Sharia-compliant" loans are being offered because "because Sharia law prohibits payment of interest on loans." A Vietnamese American in Webster Texas was ordered to remove his American flag, saying that his complex manager told him the flag "was a threat to the Muslim community." In Vermont, Sneakers Bistro and Cafe removed a sign reading "Yield for Sneakers Bacon" from a garden at the Winooski Rotary after a woman who described herself as "a vegan and a member of a Muslim household" called the sign offensive.... Finally, dozens of cases where Sharia Law has already been seen in American courts. IT IS GOING TO GET WORSE The mindset of Islamic appeasers isn't the only disturbing issue as we see in a WND report from September 2015 where a school board meeting became chaotic due to a "room full of angry Muslims parents," who were denied a last-minute request by members. Tempers were so raw last Thursday when the Jersey City Board of Education decided not to close schools for the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha that officials had to order security to "take charge." The holiday falls on Sept. 24."We’re going to be the majority soon!" said one woman into a microphone, WNBC-TV reported Sept. 17. The speaker's statement echoed a top Islamic preacher, Sheikh Muhammad Ayed, who said during a recent sermon at Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa mosque of Muslims taking root in America and Europe, "We will breed children with them, because we shall conquer their countries – whether you like it or not," WND reported. That is not hyperbole as a new estimate of the U.S. Muslim population by Pew Research Center, issued in January 2016, show that before 2040, Muslims are projected to become the second-largest religious group in the U.S., after Christians. The main reasons for Islam’s growth ultimately involve simple demographics. To begin with, Muslims have more children than members of the seven other major religious groups analyzed in the study. Each Muslim woman has an average of 3.1 children, significantly above the next-highest group (Christians at 2.7) and the average of all non-Muslims (2.3). In all major regions where there is a sizable Muslim population, Muslim fertility exceeds non-Muslim fertility. (Source) It was reported in December 2015 that "The U.S. issued 680,000 green cards to migrants from Muslim-majority countries in the five-year period encompassing 2009 through 2013." The 680,000 number is not an estimate of total migration, as it does not include temporary migrants who return home, nor is it an estimate of population change, as it does not include births or deaths, among other considerations. There is no official tally of the Muslim population in America because the Census does not track religious affiliation. The estimates range from 2.8 million by Pew Research based on a 2011 study and 7 million as estimated by the Council for American-Islamic Relations. BOTTOM LINE Given all the information above, we have to ask when will WE be told "you aren't allowed to walk in your own city anymore?" When will authorities start telling us how to dress in order to avoid "misunderstandings" which seems to be just another way to say "so you don't get raped?" When will parents be told they cannot allow their teenage daughters out unaccompanied? It is too late for Germany.... is it already too late to save America?

The Three Phases of FEMA Camp Mass Arrests Under UWEX 16

10 Feb, 2016 by Dave Hodges

Jade Helm is back and it is back with a vengeance. Jade Helm 15 has morphed into Uuconventional Warfare Exercise 16 (UWEX 16). UWEX 16 is strictly about fighting a civil war against rogue American troops who will, presumably, not go along with the imposition of tyranny under the banner of the UN flag with the complicit support of foreign troops. In support of the anti-Guerrilla warfare/civil war scenario, the establishment will need massive amounts of detention facilities from which to place individuals and groups that are deemed to be a threat to the NWO. Any overt or covert support, either through material means, or through emotional support will land one in a FEMA camp. This article addresses the three phases of FEMA camp incarcerations. And when, not if, the roundups begin, you can count on them happening in three phases. Haven’t You Heard? There Are No FEMA Camps There are some in the independent media who will tell you that there is no such thing as a FEMA Camp and that only people with tin foil hats believe anything to the contrary. After reading this article, which is the first in a series of articles on FEMA Camps, you will be armed with the knowledge and the legislation which validates the claim that not only FEMA camps are real, they are being prepared for their soon-to-be guests. The only thing that is missing is a catalyst event. Are you ready for the coming tyrannical crackdown and the complete evisceration of our constitutional liberties? Have you taken the proper precautions that will ensure the safety of you and your family? It is not likely that very many of us have taken any meaningful steps to maximize our chances for survival in what will prove to be humanity’s darkest days. Will it be possible to avoid detection and prevent yourself from being taken into custody and sent to a FEMA Camp? When the DHS bus rolls into your neighborhood, are you prepared to deal with what lies ahead? Let’s assume for a second that Obama attempts a another false flag. Subsequently, martial law is fully declared. I have always said that the order of things to come will be false flag events, followed by martial law/civil war and culminating in WWIII. Phase One: Preemptively Removing Dissident Leaders Using history as an example, if a martial law government determined that the population might rise up, it would be prudent to remove the potential dissident leaders. The Gestapo and the KGB employed the same tactics in which they would arrive at a residence at 3AM, initiate a forced entry into a home, move to quickly gag and bound the family, quickly usher them out to a waiting vehicle and quickly transport the targets to a remote location for final disposition. How do you know if you are a potential target for immediate elimination once martial law is declared? The short answer is that you cannot be certain. Former NSA agent, the late A.C. Griffith, once stated that we are all assigned a threat matrix score and categorized on the NSA’s ability to track your movements, rate your web surfing habits, track your proximity to other known dissidents through cell phone movement matching and quantitatively and qualitatively monitor your electronic communications. Every one of us has a threat matrix score which is assigned by the NSA. What we do not know is how we compare to everyone else and what will be the cutoff point which would increase the danger for some. Certainly, former military leaders who have been shown the door by Obama are at extreme risk because of their potential to organize guerrilla forces. Key members of the independent media would be another primary target as well those people who would immediately fill an opposition leadership role after the removal of the original opposition leaders. For the people taken in this matter, along with their families, history shows that the survival rate will be very low. For those dissidents who manage to avoid being taken in the initial purge, your facial image will be uploaded to every traffic and security camera plugged into the NSA system. Detection and arrest will be short-lived except for those who have help or are located in very remote areas. Phase Two: Mass Roundups If you are unlucky enough to be located in an area to be considered to have the potential to mount a resistance against the unfolding tyranny (e.g. high number of registered gun owners, high number of veterans, Tea Party members, etc.), mass round ups will be conducted. In what form will the roundups take place? This is an easy answer. In the aftermath of the Boston Marathon Bombings, martial law troops invaded Boston and provided us with the DHS version of roundups. The DHS oppressors came in the early morning hours. The perimeter of a city block was sealed off by ground troops and an armored personnel carrier. A dozen, or so, storm troopers would approach a house and empty the house of its inhabitants without allowing any time to change or the opportunity to bring any personal items. The troops would start on opposite sides of the street with one group working a north-south directional seizure of residents, while the other group would work in the opposite direction. Therefore, if anyone attempted to run, they would be pushed toward the other group of soldiers coming in the opposite direction. This happened over and over again in Boston. The arresting troops were supported by a heavily armed personnel carrier. Disposition of Family Members Your family members will be separated by the authorities as a prelude to sending you to their detention facilities, and that means that men will go to one facility, and women will go to another. Children will have their own facility awaiting them as well. Remember, the state owns your children and they have declared so in their Agenda 21 documents. In all likelihood, this will mark the last time you will ever see your family. How do I know this? Read the Rex 84 documents (which can be referenced here). The government tells you in plain language what they plan to do with you and your family. Men, women and children will be taken from their homes to temporary holding facilities. All three groups will be separated, processed and sent to by rail or by bus to more permanent holding facilities. The NDAA gives the authority for the President to arrest and detain as many people as he deems necessary without due process of law. This act allows for mass arrests and deportations to prison camps. Yes, the NDAA violates our 4th and 5th Amendment protections, but the NDAA is still the law of the land, the Constitution notwithstanding. When Obama signed this unconstitutional legislation, do you really think the government was never going to act upon this self-granted brand of tyranny Executive Order 13603 and the Civilian Inmate Labor Program gives the President the authority to incarcerate and conscript individuals into labor brigades in which they will be forced to work in slave labor units. Hitler did this in many of the death camps in which the inmates performed slave labor while they were being systematically starved to death. And where did Hitler get these wonderful ideas? He got the death camp ideas from the government’s treatment of Native Americans in what I call the ultimate Karma slap in the face, resulting from our past bad acts as a nation. Again, can anyone present an alternative interpretation that makes any sense with regard to cumulative potential for the enactment of REX 84, the NDAA, EO 13630 and the Civilian Inmate Labor Program? Every one of these documents, and several other government documents, speaks to the intent to mass arrest many Americans, enslave and eventually exterminate them. Before you roll your eyes and write to me in a spirit of denial telling me how crazy I am and how I am fear mongering (i.e. neurolinguistic programming term designed to discredit the evidence of a conspiracy), read each and every document, take notes and you will soon realize that you are watching the unfolding of something worse than what Stalin did to his people. And with the NSA surveillance spy grid, the American version of tyranny will be much more virulent than any other program of its type in human history. Conclusion There are only three ways that you can avoid being taken: (1) Be so remotely located that nobody would bother to look for you.  However, you would have to be in place when the roundups started because the exits routes would be closed when the roundups begin; (2) Have friends hide you out. Yet, your friends and acquaintances are already known to the NSA; and, (3) Emigrate to a foreign country. Again, you would have to be in place at the time the roundups commenced in your area. As an aside, I once had a dream the other night that has caused me much anxiety. I dreamed that my family had relocated to Norway. One night, we were listening to the radio and heard about the civil war in America. We felt relieved until we heard that the UN troops were in our town looking for any Americans. I don’t necessarily believe in prophetic dreams, however, I do think Americans are going to be hunted down, particularly Christians.

Liberty Activists And ISIS Will Soon Be Treated As Identical Threats

Wednesday, 10 February 2016 03:11 Brandon Smith

Many of us saw it coming a long time ago — increasing confrontation between liberty proponents and the corrupt federal establishment leading to increasing calls by political elites and bureaucrats to apply to American citizens the terrorism countermeasures designed for foreign combatants. It was only a matter of time and timing. My stance has always been that the elites would wait until there was ample social and political distraction; a fog of fear allowing them to move more aggressively against anti-globalists. We are not quite there yet, but the ground is clearly being prepared. Economic uncertainty looms large over our fiscal structure today, more so even than in 2008. Global instability is rampant, with Europe at the forefront as mass migrations of “refugees” invade wholesale. At best, most of them intend to leach off of the EU’s already failing socialist welfare structure while refusing to integrate or respect western social principles. At worst, a percentage of these migrants are members of ISIS with the goals of infiltration, disruption and coordinated destruction. With similar immigration and transplantation measures being applied to the U.S. on a smaller scale (for now) the ISIS plague will inevitably hit our shores in a manner that will undoubtedly strike panic in the masses. I believe 2016 will be dubbed the “year of the terrorist,” and ISIS will not be the only “terrorists” in the spotlight. While scanning the pages of mainstream propaganda machines like Reuters, I came across this little gem of an article, which outlines plans by the U.S. Justice Department to apply existing enemy combatant laws used against ISIS terrorists and their supporters to “domestic extremists,” specifically mentioning the Bundy takeover of the federal refuge in Burns, Oregon as an example. “Extremist groups motivated by a range of U.S.-born philosophies present a “clear and present danger,” John Carlin, the Justice Department’s chief of national security, told Reuters in an interview. “Based on recent reports and the cases we are seeing, it seems like we’re in a heightened environment.” “Clear and present danger” is a vital phrase implemented in this statement from Carlin and he used it quite deliberately. It refers to something called the “clear and present danger doctrine or test,” a doctrine rarely used except during times of mass panic, such as during WWI and WWII. The doctrine applies specifically to the removal of 1st Amendment rights of free speech during moments of “distress.” What does this mean, exactly? “Clear and present danger” is a legal mechanism by which the government claims the right not only to prosecute or destroy enemies of the state, but also anyone who publicly supports those same enemies through speech or writing. Recently, the prospect of allowing the Federal Communications Commission to target and shut down websites related to ISIS has been fielded by congressional representatives. Many people have warned against this as setting a dangerous precedent by which the government could be given free license to censor and silence ANY websites they deem “harmful” to the public good, even those not tied to ISIS in any way. Of course, overt hatred of Islamic extremism amongst conservatives is at Defcon 1 right now, and with good reason. Unfortunately, this may lead constitutional conservatives, the most stalwart proponents of free speech, to mistakenly set the stage for the erasure of free speech rights all in the name of stopping ISIS activity. The greatest proponents of constitutional liberties could very well become the greatest enemies of constitutional liberties if they fall for the ploy set up by the establishment. The Reuters article outlines the future implications quite plainly: The U.S. State Department designates international terrorist organizations to which it is illegal to provide “material support.” No domestic groups have that designation, helping to create a disparity in charges faced by international extremist suspects compared to domestic ones. It has been applied in 58 of the government’s 79 Islamic State cases since 2014 against defendants who engaged in a wide range of activity, from traveling to Syria to fight alongside Islamic State to raising money for a friend who wished to do so. Prosecutors can bring “material support” terrorism charges against defendants who aren’t linked to groups on the State Department’s list, but they have only done so twice against non-jihadist suspects since the law was enacted in 1994. The law, which prohibits supporting people who have been deemed to be terrorists by their actions, carries a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.” The Justice Department goes on to explain that they are “exploring” options to make “material support” charges more applicable to “domestic extremists.” So what constitutes “material support?” Well, as mentioned earlier, John Carlin just told us. His use of the phrase “clear and present danger” denotes that 1st Amendment speech will be restricted, ostensibly because some speech will be labeled “material support” of terrorist organizations. The liberty movement, likely in the near future, is about to be outwardly defined by the establishment as a terrorist movement, and those who support it through speech will be designated as material supporters of said terrorism. To be utterly clear, this could apply to any and everyone who promotes anti-government sentiments online, and will likely be aimed more prominently at liberty analysts and journalists. The argument for this move is rather humorous in my view — bureaucrats and others complain that it is “not fair” that Islamic terrorists are being treated more harshly than “white rural domestic extremists” and that material support laws should be enforced against everyone equally. Yes, that’s right, the 1st Amendment is under threat because the Justice Department does not want to appear “racist.” At least, that is their public excuse… I'm not sure whether it is depressing or hilariously ironic that the U.S. government (along with many other governments) is preparing the groundwork for prosecution of liberty activists for material support of terrorism when it is the government that has been proven time and again to be by far the most generous material supporter of terrorist organizations. Will this all take place in a vacuum? Of course not. Something terrible is brewing. Another Oklahoma City-stye bombing, perhaps. Or a standoff gone horribly awry. The standoff in Oregon continues without Ammon Bundy and is about to get worse in the next week according to my information (you will see what I mean). The point is, the narrative is being finalized in preparation for whatever trigger events may be in store, and that narrative closely associates ISIS with liberty activists as being in the same category. “As law enforcement experts confront domestic militia groups, “sovereign citizens” who do not recognize government authority, and other anti-government extremists, they also face a heightened threat from Islamic extremists like the couple who carried out the Dec. 2 shootings in San Bernardino, California.” This is why I have consistently argued against giving any extra-judicial powers to our already bloated federal system. I am a staunch opponent of Islamic immigration and terrorism, but some people are so desperate to fight one monster that they are willing to give unlimited powers to another monster thinking it will give their minds ease. These people are fools, and they are putting the rest of us at risk. If you want to fight ISIS, then fight them yourself. Do not give the same government that helped create ISIS and then deliberately transplanted them to Europe and the U.S. even more legal authority over our lives to supposedly “stop” ISIS. This would be absurd. In the meantime, I would point out that regardless of how the federal government wishes to label us, the liberty movement could not be more different from the Islamic State: 1) We don’t enjoy covert funding and training from the government at large as ISIS does. (Though according to leftists, we all take our marching orders from the Koch Brothers). 2) Most of us were born in this country and are rather attached to it. 3) ISIS fights to dismantle traditional Western values. We fight to restore traditional Western values, and we will not only fight ISIS but also cultural Marxists and collectivists who share the same disdain for liberty. 4) Many of us are far better trained than ISIS goons, so if anything, we are a more severe threat to the enemies of free society. (We actually look down our sights when we shoot rather than hiding behind cars with the rifle over our head and squatting like a constipated dog. We can also operate their AK-47s better than they can). 5) We are as opposed to Sharia Law as we are to martial law. In fact, we see them as essentially the same unacceptable circumstance. 6) We don’t cannibalize our enemies. (Who would want to take a bite out of Henry Kissinger’s spleen? 7) We might look down on the insane ramblings of today’s feminists, but at least we would not stone them, enforce female circumcision, then rape them, then throw acid in their faces, then slap a hijab on them and take away their driver’s licenses. So maybe, just maybe, we toxic masculine conservative barbarians aren’t as bad as they seem to think we are. 8) We understand that black pajamas are not the best camouflage, but ISIS may have better fashion sense than we do. 9) Our beards are all-American. Their beards are just plain creepy. 10) They fight to be martyred. We fight to win. When all is said and done, who is the greater threat to you and your freedoms? A psychotic theocrat that has taken his religion so far into the forbidden zone that any evil, no matter how heinous, is justified through the circular logic of zealotry? The criminal government that funded that psycho, trained him, slapped a rocket launcher in his hands and then gave him a free plane ride to your favorite shopping mall? Or, some weirdo that stores lots of food and gas masks in his basement and every once in a while talks to you about 9/11? Come on, think about it

Next Up Is HUMANIZED DRONES? DARPA’s New ‘Neural’ Microchip Could Let Flying Hunter-Killers Think They Are People

February 9, 2016 by SkyWatch Editor

DARPA, the Pentagon’s cutting-edge science division, is developing a neural network to enhance “deep learning” on the battlefield. Modern warfare requires more than simple brute strength. The Information Age has revealed new ways to communicate and access information, and these new rules have also affected the way wars are fought and won. Imagery gathered by satellites and drones must make its way to units on the ground for data analyzation. While a drone can take a photograph, it cannot tell you what it’s looking at, or what to do about it, if anything. A human brain is necessary to spot a terrorist stronghold, or to recognize that a missile launcher in one photo has been moved, when compared with an older photo. Scenes from the Jean-Claude Van Damme movie Universal Soldier may become reality, as the US military is working on the development of an implantable chip which could turn soldiers into real-life cyborgs by attaching their brains to computers, Tech Times reported. “Full exploitation of this information is a major challenge,” officials with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) wrote in a 2009 brief on “deep learning.” (READ MORE)

Scientists Condemn ‘Crazy, Dangerous’ Creation Of Deadly Airborne Flu Virus. A virus that could wipe out 400 million people

What was extraordinary about the great flu pandemic of 2018 was not only that it came exactly 100 years after the Spanish flu of 1918, but that it also killed 5 per cent of the world’s population. In 1918, that proportion meant some 100  million people. In 2018, nearly 400 million fell victim. Of those, some one million were in Britain. Nearly every family lost a loved one, with children and the elderly being particularly vulnerable. The NHS was unable to cope with the sheer numbers infected, which ran to around ten million — almost a sixth of the population. With no vaccine available, all that doctors could do was to send people home and tell them to hope for the best. It was the worst natural disaster the world had ever seen. But the virus was no random creation of Mother Nature — it was man-made, produced by an obscure professor at a university deep in the heart of the U.S. This may sound like a science-fiction scenario that would strain credulity but, terrifyingly, it is all too possible. Professor Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the University of Wisconsin-Madison has created a deadly new strain of the 2009 swine flu virus — for which there is no known vaccine. If the virus escaped from Professor Kawaoka’s laboratory it could kill hundreds of millions — perhaps even a billion. Worryingly, scientists seem as alarmed as the general public. Professor Kawaoka revealed what he had done at a secret meeting held earlier this year, and his fellow virologists appear to have reacted with despair. ‘He’s basically got a known pandemic strain that is now resistant to vaccination,’ said one scientist who did not wish to be named. ‘Everything he did before was dangerous, but this is even madder.’ So what exactly has Professor Kawaoka done before? Only last month Kawaoka revealed in a scientific paper that he had also synthesised a bird flu virus — called ‘1918-like Avian’. He had created, through a process called ‘reverse genetics’, a flu virus extremely similar to that which caused the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic. Kawaoka and his team declared that they had made the virus to assess whether variants of the 1918 flu were as deadly to humans as the original virus. After testing it on ferrets, the team found that what they had created, in the dry words of academia, ‘may have pandemic potential’. A patient is given a swine flu vaccination. Compared to the outbreak in 1918, H5N1 has so far been relatively merciful. To date, only some 400 people worldwide have died from the virus. An earlier experiment looked at making another lethal bird flu strain easier to catch. The idea that scientists blithely create deadly flu viruses, essentially to see how deadly they are, caused outrage in the scientific community and the world at large. ‘The work they are doing is absolutely crazy,’ said Professor Lord May of Oxford, a former president of the Royal Society. ‘The whole thing is exceedingly dangerous.’ Marc Lipsitch, Professor of Epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health, said: ‘I am worried that this signals a growing trend to make “transmissible” novel viruses willy-nilly. This is a risky activity, even in the safest labs. ‘Scientists should not take such risks without strong evidence that the work could save lives, which this paper does not provide.’ Other scientists used stronger language. ‘If society understood what was going on,’ thundered Professor Simon Wain-Hobson, of the Virology Department at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, ‘they would say “What the F are you doing?” ’‘I am worried that this signals a growing trend to make “transmissible” novel viruses willy-nilly’ – Professor Marc Lipsitch It’s a good question. Professor Kawaoka did try to justify his research last month. He explained that wild birds continue to harbour many variants of the influenza A virus — the strain of virus that can be transmitted from birds, including domestic poultry, through to humans. One of the subtypes of influenza A is called H5N1 — a name familiar to many. Not only was a form of H5N1 behind the 1918 outbreak, but its variants have started to emerge over the past ten years, and are now collectively known as ‘bird flu’. Compared to the outbreak in 1918, H5N1 has so far been relatively merciful. To date, only some 400 people worldwide have died from the virus. However, this is not to say that a new form of H5N1 could not be more deadly, and there are many virologists around the world working on ways to deal with potential pandemics. Professor Kawaoka argues that ‘foreseeing and understanding this potential is important for effective surveillance’. Kawaoka and his team create new forms of H5N1, then study how they function and how easily they can spread. Naturally, the experiments are carried out in extremely secure conditions . To do this, Kawaoka and his team create new forms of H5N1, then study how they function and how easily they can spread. Naturally, the experiments are carried out in extremely secure conditions — although it is alarming to learn that Professor Kawaoka’s Department of Pathobiological Sciences at the University of Wisconsin is not rated at the most secure level. Laboratories that work with deadly biological agents are graded with increasing levels of biosafety, which range from BSL-1 up to BSL-4. Establishments rated at BSL-4 include the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory at Porton Down in Wiltshire, and the new National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center in Maryland in the U.S. ‘In the case of influenza, we anticipate that such a risk assessment will show that the risks are unjustifiable’ – Professor Lipsitch, Harvard School of Public Health Professor Kawaoka’s lab is rated at BSL-3. Under the strict guidelines, the entrance to the laboratory must be through two sets of self-closing and locking doors, and no air must escape from it. All procedures must be carried out inside a closed biological safety cabinet, into which scientists insert their hands and arms cased in latex gloves. Often, respirators must be worn, and all staff members are medically screened, and immunised when possible. However some scientists are adamant that the risks are still too high. In a paper published in 2012, Lynn Klotz, a Senior Science Fellow at the U.S. Centre for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, stated that 42 institutions were working with any number of three potentially deadly disease-causing substances — smallpox, the SARS virus, and H5N1. Klotz estimated there was an 80 per cent likelihood of one of these diseases escaping from one of these laboratories in just under every 13 years. ‘This level of risk is clearly unacceptable,’ Klotz said. However, Klotz’s work did not take account of another danger — one that makes the risk of a genetically manipulated virus breaking free from a lab even more likely: terrorism. Even though the idea that, say, militant Islamists, might break into laboratories to release strains of H5N1 seems far-fetched, it is taken very seriously by policymakers. A visual representation of the H5N1 strain of bird flu. Even though the idea that, say, militant Islamists, might break into laboratories to release strains of H5N1 seems far-fetched, it is taken very seriously by policymakers In 2011, the U.S. National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity called for scientific papers on H5N1 to be censored, which caused fierce debate among scientists. Because of such fears, in 2012 many scientists voluntarily halted research on H5N1. The moratorium lasted for a year, after which the virologists lifted it, stating that the risks from not studying the virus were greater than those raised by the virus falling into the wrong hands. However, many scientists remain deeply uncomfortable with the way some research is carried out on H5N1. Those doubts are sure to be repeated with the latest revelations about Professor Kawaoka. Some, such as Professor Marc Lipsitch, advocate what he calls ‘ethical alternatives’ to the type of approach used by Kawaoka, in which more rigorous risk assessments should be made. ‘In the case of influenza, we anticipate that such a risk assessment will show that the risks are unjustifiable,’ Professor Lipsitch states in a paper he published last month. But despite such calls from their academic colleagues, Kawaoka and other scientists, such as Professor Ron Fouchier at Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam, insist that what they are doing is right, and maintain that their work is safe and therefore ethical. But as every scientist knows, there is no such thing as a sure bet. There is always a chance that, one day, someone will walk out of Professor Kawaoka’s laboratory in Wisconsin feeling under the weather. If that happens, then we must hope and pray that those same scientists find a cure —before millions die. etc. and the news story continues..

Federal judge rejects Texas’ attempt to block Syrian refugees

02/08/16 07:23 PM By Amanda Sakuma

Texas hit a major setback on Monday after a federal judge rejected its efforts to block Syrian refugees from resettling in the Lone Star State. U.S. District Court Judge David Godbey of Dallas ruled on Monday that it was not up to the courts to interfere with issues that should be handled by the executive branch and that Texas officials failed to prove the state could win its lawsuit challenging the process of finding refugees new homes. “The Court does not deny that the Syrian refugees pose some risk. That would be foolish,” Godbey wrote. “In our country, however, it is the federal executive that is charged with assessing and mitigating that risk, not the states and not the courts.” The Texas lawsuit, brought against the federal government and a contractor tasked with refugee resettlement, came amid a tense political climate that turned a negative spotlight on the vetting process facing Syrian refugees. A string of terror attacks stoked fears that assailants could take advantage of the U.S. immigration systems to wage future strikes. More than 30 governors responded by threatening to shut out all Syrian refugees until the dust settled. Texas in December became the first state to take the feds to court over the issue. Alabama followed its lead a month later. In separate suits, state officials claimed that the federal government violated the Refugee Act of 1980 by not consulting states in deciding where Syrian refugees should be placed to live in the United States. The Justice Department responded to the Texas suit by calling it political bluster. In filings opposing the legal action, the administration argued that allegations suggesting that terrorists could exploit the refugee system were “hearsay, and are at best speculative.” In his ruling Monday denying Texas’ request for a preliminary injunction to stop refugee resettlement, Godbey said the state failed to present enough evidence to prove its case. “Somewhat ironically, Texas, perhaps the reddest of red states, asks a federal court to stick its judicial nose into this political morass, where it does not belong absent statutory authorization,” he wrote. “Finding no such authorization, this Court will leave resolution of these difficult issues to the political process.”

A whiff of methane and the odor of corruption

LOS ANGELES (INTELLIHUB) — “Oh! Sure. Twice, just last week,” answered Porter Ranch resident Jim Baker to the question about whether the smell of methane gas was reaching his home. “Smells like, well… it’s an oily smell,” continued Jim. “ No. You can’t always smell it. It’s when the wind is slack, that’s when it comes down on the houses.” Indeed. Residents across the affluent north Los Angeles, CA suburb of Porter Ranch report the same smell. Not good: methane gas is poison. On day one of an on-scene look at the world’s largest natural gas leak, which everyday spews uncontrolled at extremely high pressure the equivalent green house gas pollution of 4.5 million cars, another distinct smell is becoming obvious: political corruption. High above Porter Ranch natural gas well Standard Sesnon (SS)-25 has been blowing high pressure methane gas into the air for months. The exact date that the blow-out began is uncertain since the owner of SS-25, The Southern California Gas Company (Cal Gas), reluctantly admitted to the massive pipe rupture on Oct 23, 2015, but only after Porter Ranch residents began complaining of the oily smell and several different sicknesses. Documents show that this admission was at least two months after Cal Gas knew of the massive leak and that Cal Gas knew immediately it was due to their own negligence. Why? In order to save money, they had removed the mandatory “safety valves” from the aging well(s) instead of replacing them as required? Does this not sound familiar? In the first light of dawn, while braced against a fifty mile-per-hour westward gale, it was finally possible to fully see the expanse of Aliso Canyon. Standing on the edge of the steep east-facing ridge under a massive grey-galvanized metal stanchion, a huge set of thick grey power lines also swayed in the wind while descending from their supports into the canyon to the east. Looking east, the grey power lines arrived uninterrupted at a second stanchion on the other side, almost two miles away. After a very steep ascent to this position, which began prudently at first light, a perfect vantage point was finally reached high-up on this ridge. Before us, a panoramic view of an environmental disaster. To the left still higher up on the almost sheer northwest ridge, slowly illuminating under the rising sun, there it was: SS-25. However looking southwards to the right, an equally magnificent view. The scene of an unfolding human disaster far below. The Los Angeles basin and its 18.5 million people. Littered with 115 aging petroleum and gas wells, Aliso Canyon resembles the wasteland of an old open-pit mine. Far below the ridge, a single paved service road snakes over uneven ground across the 3600 acre Aliso Canyon Underground Storage Facility. The road intersects scores of old dirt access roads leading to the various wells. Located in the lower southern portion of the Santa Susana Mountains, Aliso Canyon is a box canyon meaning that the topography allows only one way out. In the distance to the left of the grey power wires, much farther up on the sheer northwest wall sits the culprit: SS-25. Due to the wind storm today the roar of the leak cannot be heard, but on a reconnaissance hike two days before to a lower position the wind was almost dead calm. Ascending the ridge late that afternoon a strange rushing, metallic but hollow sound grew loader and louder. Then louder. As resident Jim Baker had noted, and our earlier observations confirmed, when the wind was slack all that methane, which is heavier than air, has only one place to go: down. Being a box canyon with very high and steep walls and SS-25 on the wall of the top-most ridge, Aliso Canyon acts as a giant funnel. With the predominant winds being on-shore and easterly in direction the heavier methane is forced off the cliff wall into the open air space over the five-square-mile canyon. Six hundred feet below, the canyon floor begins to continually descend steeply south to the right, while its steep walls narrow ever tighter. Transforming into a smaller steep ravine called Limekiln Canyon, this provides the only downhill exit out of Aliso Canyon. Continuing to drop southward directly towards two sub-divisions of Porter Ranch, the ravine continues out-of-sight in the direction of America’s second largest population. Today’s wind storm covered-up the noise of SS-25 which has so far leaked almost six billion cubic feet of methane from an existing reserve. Normally stored underground at 2800 psi (more than a scuba tank’s pressure) gas coming from as far away as Canada make up the 160 billion cubic feet currently stored. Cal Gas said on Monday, Jan. 18 that it has abandoned a plan to capture and burn the leaking natural gas so, without any other available short term solutions, Cal Gas has run-off the pressure to approx.1200 psi. At its peak on Nov. 28, the well blew nearly 60,000 kilograms of methane per hour. By Dec. 22, that rate had dropped to 30,300 kilos, according to the state’s Air Resources Board. However, at the request of Cal Gas the PUC allowed them to stop after releasing just 25 million cubic feet of working gas, a violation of Calif. Governor, Jerry Brown recent emergency order. When considering Brown’s track record of allegiance to the oil industry, Cal Gas is not likely worried about state enforcement. On Jan 3, 2011, Edmund G.”Jerry” Brown, Jr. came to the California Governor’s mansion for a second time as the progressive opposition to an admitted corporatist; Ebay president, Meg Whitman. In the election campaign Brown specifically drew on his previous legacy, from 1974 to 1982, as the youngest US governor in 111 years and one of the most progressive of that time. In doing so, Brown repeatedly touted his environmental record as proof of his claim to provide a renewed liberal agenda for the state. It took less than a year for Brown to show his true environmental colors. In 2011 Occidental Petroleum wanted a permit for the use of the Inglewood Oilfield, but Acting Director of the Calif. Dept. of Conservation, Derek Chernow, and Elana Miller, as Cal. State Oil & Gas supervisor, refused citing the need for additional environmental review. On Oct 14, 2011, a previous Calif. governor, Gray Davis (who was ousted in a special state election), as the new legal Council to Occidental, phoned Brown and demanded that both these public officials be fired. On Oct 28, Brown called both Chernow and Miller telling them to grant the permit or they would be removed from their posts. When they refused, Brown made good on his threat. He next replaced Chernow with Tim Kusic, who, on Jan 9, 2012, granted the permit to Occidental. The punch-line came on Jan 13, when Occidental deposited $250,000 into a fund for Brown’s personal initiative, Proposition 30. Further investigation revealed that Occidental deposited a total of $1.3 million in the Prop. 30 account and that Brown received from the oil company a total of $2,104,570 starting well before his campaign to become California’s new populist governor. Does any of this not sound familiar? SS-25 began operation on Feb. 25, 1954 as an oil well. Converted to a gas storage well in 1973 and upgraded in 1979 evidence shows that it was last inspected on Oct. 21, 2014. The aging well was part of petroleum extraction that began in the 1930’s. When the oil was used-up it left space for the equivalent of one cubic mile of highly compressed gas to be stored deep-down, one-and -a -half miles under a sandstone cap. SS-25 extends down 8,748 feet, reaching and penetrating a layer of nonporous rock, the capstone, that keeps the stored gas from escaping. Cal Gas began putting the majority of this underground vault to good use in 1971 when it paid $26.2 million for a long term lease. Cal Gas speculates that the leak is coming from a hole in a 7-inch-diameter pipe about five hundred feet below the surface. The pipe is, supposedly, surrounded by a cavity and then a cement casing that ends at about 990 feet down. The engineers surmise that the gas has forced its way through the soil to the surface. This is not surprising: documents allegedly show that the mandatory cement casing was also omitted by Cal Gas. SS-25 was right now, however, blowing no less than 30,000 kilos every single hour of a deadly cocktail containing methane, benzene and formaldehyde far and wide. The blasting wind was increasing and just overhead, swaying in unison, the huge grey power lines crossing the canyon began to omit a strange sound of their own. A single long low frequency note, almost a hum, coming in time with each violent gust. In the early morning light it sounded so sad, like a long, slow drawn out moan. A howl. Evidence of the politically connected corruption of Cal Gas applied to the California public agencies of; the South Coast A.Q.M.D (Air Quality Management District), the Public Utilities Commission (PUC), DOGGR (Division of Oil, Gas and Geo-thermal Resources) seems undeniable. With the likely knowledge of the California Governor, these public officials are allegedly colluding to use their collective political power to stop this long, sad moan of environmental desperation from reaching the ears of a threatened public and turning, thus, into a international howl of public anger and outrage. Good reason for anger and outrage was provided to the public at a meeting held this past Friday, Jan 22, 2016, at the Marriot Hotel in nearby Woodland Hills. Nearly eight hundred local residents packed into the main hall. Serious faces stared unsmiling toward the podium at the front of the room. Facts and documents were displayed for the crowd on two large projection screens. Porter Ranch residents report limited help from Cal Gas. Although over 2000 residents have been offered temporary relocation, it has been up to Cal Gas to decide what is the afflicted area per their unsubstantiated and very limited testing. Relocation has not been simple since few landlords are willing to accept a two-to-three month rental. Making matters worse mortgage banks are refusing to lend on Porter Ranch properties and adjacent sub-divisions leaving home owners for the moment with valueless properties. Schools have been relocated with 1,100 students from Porter Ranch Community School now attending at Northridge Middle School instead. Residents want mandatory testing that includes hundreds of locations; return of losses in property values, safety valves placed on all wells, and none of these expenses to be passed along to the innocent ratepayers. Cal Gas, ever in denial, issued a statement through their legal team that, regarding Cal Gas liability, “No taking of property has occurred.” Here, lies the endemic problem.

Opening with two US Congressmen, Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA 30th Dist) and Rep. Steve Knight (R-CA 25th Dist) both in turn stated their support for residents and gave details subsequent to their demand for information from Cal Gas and an on-site inspection of the well-site. “The burden of proof is on Cal Gas to prove that the facility is safe,” stated Sherman in conclusion. Aliso Canyon is the largest natural gas storage facility west of the Mississippi. Although maintenance was required of the 115 aging wells and their infrastructure- oversight being tasked to DOGGR- slowly this regulatory oversight began to disappear, more each decade, creating the expected fraudulent reaction by Cal Gas. So… when SS-25’s “sub-surface safety valve” came due for replacement, Cal Gas did not replace it, they simply removed it. Then they falsified documents to cover-up the monstrous risk to the public and the environment. Does this not sound familiar? So tempt Murphy they did, with the expected result. When SS-25 failed Cal Gas knew it but still they rolled the dice, hoping no one would notice. Their plot, however, smelled in more ways than one. So… some two month later many people did notice. Hence, this evenings packed house of angry residents. Both congressmen kept their presentations brief. They each departed immediately after finishing and without taking questions, despite the attempts of some listeners. Next up, Dr. Bardia Anvar, of the local Valley Urgent Care. With over one hundred residents having already required medical attention, he went over the chemicals being rained down on them, the health risks, the symptoms. His recommendation, “Get out of the area.” With rashes, nausea, dizziness, headaches and nose bleeds increasing in frequency, the cause is obvious. In addition to all the methane, which is also a green house gas pollutant many times worse than CO2, benzene has also been detected which is highly carcinogenic. Limited testing by Cal Gas has shown that both these gases are settling in concentrations indiscriminately across the lower Porter Ranch hill side and valleys which makes sense due to the relative heaviness of each gas. On-going testing by UC Davis proves that the methane is indeed spreading far and wide via the atmosphere over Los Angeles since testing beyond this immediate area is limited due to Cal Gas denials. Still worse, when Methane is exposed to sunlight it transforms into formaldehyde which is heavier, very poisonous and also highly carcinogenic. After reviewing many patients who have relocated, Dr. Anvar noted, “It wasn’t until the residents moved out that they found out how bad things were.” The heaviness of the released gases has had a tragic effect already; on pets. Cats particularly are dying. With dogs and cats being lower to the ground and using their noses to breath, reports of dead or sick family pets are frequent. Dr. John Tenzes, a veterinarian toxicologist, spoke of the increased risk to pets and gave advice, which mostly amounted to keeping them indoors. Sadly, he concluded with how to properly handle the remains of a cherished loved one. As seems the case with any quest for justice in America, applied to Porter Ranch and the L.A. basin reliance on elected and appointed public officials seems useless, if not foolhardy. So, the lawyers were left to provide any pretext of justice to the crowd of residents. Fortunately for those attending, next up was an attorney. Unfortunately for Cal Gas… one with a big reputation. To the podium stepped Robert F. Kennedy Jr., son of the R.F.K. and senior partner with the environmental law firm, Kennedy & Maddona, LLP. Popping to his feet and looking and talking like what his father might have become, he quickly by-passed the podium in favor of standing on the edge of the stage leaning towards the audience, microphone in hand. Arms waving, he began to speak- his trademark Kennedy-New England nasal drawl a pleasant reminder- with the confidence and passion of a politician from a by-gone era. Kennedy proceeded to take his time, explaining in detail, while showing documents, a trail of governmental and regulatory agency corruption that has become far too pervasive. For the next half-hour a series of charts, lists and documents were displayed that showed, at best, a laissez-faire attitude by regulatory agencies DOGGR and PUC. Complicity with Cal Gas seemed evident. Labeling this effort to avoid financial accountability by Cal Gas to the public and residents, “externalizing the cost of producing gas,” Kennedy summed the affair up as a, “subversion of democracy.” Initially, Kennedy’s presentation re-enforced much of what had already been stated. Then; the smoking gun. A slide showing the very essence to the Cal Gas fraud: a copy of a mandatory testing report that was submitted to the Calif. Dept. of Conservation. This report from the Oct. 2014 test, showing testing data and signed by a Cal Gas inspector, stated that the well had passed and, conspicuously, that the sub-surface safety valve had been inspected and had also passed. This was, of course, untrue since other documents obtained by Kennedy from Cal Gas show the safety valve was indeed removed and never replaced many years prior. “They decided it was too expensive for them to fix them,” said Kennedy. “So they removed the safety valves and decided to take their chances.” Does any of this not sound familiar? As with most states, California regulatory agencies are under direct control of a state commissions that oversees the oil and gas industry. Supposedly beholden to the “public interest,” these agencies were once the checks and balances of insuring this interest over the industry. DOGGR, the PUC and AQMD are all beholden to the California Department of Conservation, which is in turn under the direction of the Governor’s office. Subordinate to all: Cal Gas. As Kennedy laid out the allegations and the documents it became clear that, as is repeatedly witnessed with environmental stories across the nation, this chain of command has been inverted. The PUC had exerted little involvement with Cal Gas leaving that to DOGGR which was charged with the issuing of well permits, reviewing inspections and enforcement. DOGGR was so lax that in 2011 the federal EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) filed a report regarding DOGGR’s routine and improper issuance of permits. SS-25 was under their watch. That was fine with Cal Gas. South Coast AQMD has only come into play since the acknowledgement of the leak, however, predictably this agency had followed the party-line of Cal Gas: Deny… Deny. In the face of growing evidence to the contrary Cal Gas continued to minimize all risks and liabilities using their own test results and AQMD echoed this lack of concern while differing to Cal Gas’ reports. Responding finally to the obvious, and mounting public pressure, South Coast AQMD, on Jan 26, filed suit accusing Cal Gas of negligence in the “design, construction, operation and inspection of the wells.” Over at the PUC, its commissioners have yet to express any serious concern. Public outrage has forced PUC to require independent testing, call for full disclosure by Cal Gas and an independent review of SS-25, but compliance by Cal Gas has been slow and inconclusive. PUC has so far been willing to accept all promises and assurances offered by Cal gas without foundation or requirement of results. This was illustrated the next day at a public PUC rate payer meeting held at the Woodland Hills Hilton on, Sat. Jan 20. There, after fully three months of local hardships and mounting independent evidence, the PUC commissioners placated a room full of frustrated residents, many for whom have been temporarily up-rooted from their homes. The PUC regulators finally approved a comprehensive abatement order that required the Southern California Gas Co. to take immediate steps to contain the leak affecting Porter Ranch, permanently shut down the damaged well, establish a leak-detection system and conduct an independent health study. This would seem obvious, but after three-plus months of cover-up it was in reality, ludicrous. As showcased by Kennedy this evening, none of this obfuscation absolves Cal Gas, and its minions from three prima face conclusions: One; a cocktail of invisible cancer causing poison is dispersing itself over the breadth of the Los Angeles valley. Two: Cal Gas has negligently caused this disaster by fraudulently removing and failing to replace the safety valves. Their risk has literally “blown-up” in the faces of a largely unsuspecting public. Three: If not for the complicity of the state agencies this disaster would not have ever happened. For Cal Gas it was, ” Cheaper to pay death payments!” assessed Kennedy. Indeed. How many other Aliso Canyon wells have been adulterated by Cal Gas in favor of profit? As Kennedy unveiled his evidence other recent US environmental disasters easily came to mind to anyone who had closely followed the previous corporate play book of environmental cover-ups. The BP oil disaster, the Mayflower, Arkansas and Kalamazoo, Michigan tar sands pipe ruptures, the San Onofre Nuclear power plant frauds by utilities company; Southern California Edison, and last week the Flint Michigan public drinking water supply atrocities. All followed a cookie cutter fact pattern much like Aliso Canyon: US elected politicians and appointed government regulatory officials with a personal allegiance, not to their affected constituents or populations, but to the greed of corporations that don’t care about the environment and who pull their political and financial purse strings as an effective substitute. Other recent local evidence of this was the long history of Southern California’s, San Onofre Nuclear power plant. Exemplifying the PUC’s allegiance to its corporate masters, at the request of electrical power provider, Southern California Edison, the PUC shifted over $2 billion of SCE obligations to the ratepayers, which Edison subsequently spent on fraudulently re-designing and manufacturing cheaper versions of the two essential gigantic “steam generators.” This allowed for Edison to continue to operate the power plant beyond its expiration date. Both generators failed within eighteen months of installation after emitting radioactive material into the air and causing a local panic and temporary shutdown. When the public outcry was heard by the PUC, the directors did literally nothing. When So. Cal. Edison’s fraud was finally beyond all dispute and San Onofre was ordered shut for good, the PUC gave Edison one last present: they required the afflicted ratepayers to pay for Edison’s lost future income and all shut down costs. Does this not sound familiar? To Ray Lutz it does. As National Coordinator of “Citizen’s Oversight Projects” (COPS), his organization was the focal point for the collective San Onofre shutdown effort. He knows, too well, about the PUC. In announcing this week, on Jan 29, COPS’s formal petition of the PUC for an investigation into Aliso Canyon, he stated flatly, “History is repeating itself before our eyes…Unfortunately, there is little hope that our regulatory agency [PUC] will do its job.” On top of the Northeast ridge above where SS-25 sits, relief well, Porter 39a, is drilling at 100 rpm seven thousand feet down. It is reportedly within six-hundred feet of hopefully hitting its target. Cal Gas reports this will take only five more weeks. Its trajectory is to approach SS-25 at an angle, then parallel the pipe for nearly 6,000 feet before angling into the concrete casing where the pipe meets the capstone. Should they miss their target there is a second relief well. Cal Gas reported that they would begin drilling there no later than Jan 20. Sitting some three hundred yards to the right of Porter 39a., from our vantage point high on the wind-swept ridge there is a problem with this plan; its vacant. The second relief well is a mere concrete pad with no sign of activity or drilling equipment on it. This broken promise emphasizes Cal Gas’ level of concern for PUC enforcement and its preparedness for disaster. As for federal interest in the nation’s biggest natural gas disaster, the EPA has refused to take jurisdiction despite the magnitude of the disaster. This may mean a further financial wind fall for Cal Gas, which may avoid staggering per cubic foot pollution penalties similar to those levied at BP for its oil spill. Arriving once again at the bottom of Aliso Canyon after a forty minute shuffle down the loose rocky sheep trail leading to the houses below, is was time to draw a deep breath. The wind continued to howl but the low moan of the grey wires was long lost in the distance. Here at the bottom, banging noisily against a newly installed six-foot-high vertical metal pipe was a strange stainless steel tank with a pressure gage. It was marked, “Entech: Silonite 6L Canister.” It turned out to be gas collection can. What gas? Nearby, on either side were houses and beyond that more houses and then the L.A. basin full of houses. Getting in the car to leave I slammed the door just a little bit harder than necessary. As the steel collection can clanged its warning into the wind, just beyond it, looking back up towards the high ridges of Aliso Canyon, a wondrous morning panorama. The billowing hill grasses thrashing about while shining in every shade of silver and gold against a pure blue sky backdrop from a quickly rising sun of a new day. Some fifteen hundred feet above: SS-25. The biggest methane gas disaster in US history is, right now, raging out of control. For what? Silver and Gold. Does this not sound familiar? -The End- In declaring the emergency, the governor notes the widespread disruption the gas leak has caused and reiterates the state’s efforts to help fix the problem. All state agencies will utilize state personnel, equipment, and facilities to ensure a continuous and thorough state response to this incident.

Putin scrambles thousands of troops and hundreds of warplanes across south-west Russia in large-scale military drills amid growing tensions with the West

Vladimir Putin has scrambled 8,500 troops, 200 warplanes and 50 ships

His Southern Military District is undergoing drills to test its 'readiness'

It comes Russia's relations with the West remain low over Syria dispute

In recent years he has reasserted his country's massive military might

Putin annexed the Crimea in 2014 and supported rebels in eastern Ukraine

Vladimir Putin has put thousands of troops, warplanes and battleships on high alert in a series of military drills designed to test his military's mobility amid growing tensions with the West. The war games in south-west Russia will include bombing runs and troop deployments, which the Kremlin says will test its military's ability to respond to external threats. It comes as Western tensions with Russia remain at a low following its annexation of Crimea in 2014, its clandestine support for rebel forces in eastern Ukraine, and its bombing of Syria. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that military units were put on combat alert early Monday, marking the launch of the exercise that involves troops of the Southern Military District. The district includes troops stationed in Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula that Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014, as well as forces in the North Caucasus and southwestern regions near the border with Ukraine. Shoigu said the maneuvers will also engage airborne troops and military transport aviation, as well as the navy. He noted that the drills are intended to check the troops' ability to respond to extremist threats and other challenges. According to Shoigu, who spoke at a meeting with the top military brass, the war games would include redeployment of air force units to advance air bases and bombing runs at shooting ranges. The maneuvers will test the troops' mobility, with some being deployed to areas up to 1,800 miles away, the military said. Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov said in a statement that up to 8,500 troops, 900 ground weapons, 200 warplanes and about 50 warships will be involved in the drills. The exercises are the latest in a series of major drills intended to strengthen the military's readiness which have continued despite the nation's economic downturn. Even though a drop in global oil prices has drained the government's coffers and helped drive the economy into recessions, the Kremlin has continued to spend big on the military, funding the purchase of hundreds of new aircraft, tanks and missiles. Russia has demonstrated its resurgent military might with its air campaign in Syria, which helped President Bashar Assad's military win a series of victories in recent weeks. The military used the Syrian operation to test new types of weapons in actual combat for the first time, including long-range air-and-sea-launched cruise missiles. The air blitz in Syria has badly strained Russia's relations with Turkey, which shot down a Russian warplane at the border with Syria in November. The latest drills could be part of muscle flexing amid the tensions with Ankara. They also come at a time when a peace deal intended to end fighting between Ukrainian government troops and Russia-backed rebels in eastern Ukraine appears to be in jeopardy amid increasingly frequent clashes in recent weeks. etc. and the news story continues..

Russian Troops Put On High Alert - World War 3 Warning Goes Out: 'The Bloodshed Will Drag On Until Every Semblance Of Civilization Is Destroyed'

February 9, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

"Without negotiations, the bloodshed will drag on until the last city is reduced to rubble and virtually every home, every form of infrastructure, and every semblance of civilization is destroyed" John Kerry on Syria. See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins. Isaiah 17 With US Secretary of State John Kerry now reportedly 'happy' that Saudi Arabia will be deploying its 'elite' soldiers to Syria as it would allegedly give the US 'a good opportunity to curb Russian influence in the area', Russia has put its military on high alert as shared in the 1st video below from Gary Franchi and the Next News Network. Such a move by Saudi Arabia would be seen by Syria as a move of aggression against Syria and Syrian foreign minister Walid al-Moallem recently stated that the same 'elite' Saudi soldiers would return to Saudi Arabia only in coffins. As the Saudis are now showing their support for several different terrorist groups in Syria with the US and particularly president Barack Obama seemingly giving full support to ISIS, are we nearing the point where Hillary Clinton's and Mr. Obama's support of terrorists may end up costing the lives of millions of innocent Americans? Do Obama and Clinton even WANT TO defeat the ISIS terrorists who are threatening to kill us? Why is this administration supporting the same terrorists in Syria and the Middle East who want to kill us added on to the fact that it could lead to war with Russia? From WND.: In another wide-ranging interview with talk-radio host Michael Savage, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump suggested President Obama might not have a desire to defeat the Islamic jihadist group ISIS, and the real-estate billionaire shied away from declaring he would win the New Hampshire primary Tuesday. Trump repeated his observation that President Obama refuses to identify the enemy as “radical Islamic terrorism,” insisting ISIS and other groups have nothing to do with Islam. “It’s radical Islamic terrorism, and we have a president who won’t even use the words,” he said. “If you don’t use the words, you’re never going to get rid of the problem." “Maybe he doesn’t want to get rid of the problem,” Trump said. “I don’t know exactly what’s going on. Why would the president of our nation NOT want to 'label and defeat' those who are threatening to kill us? Is all of this more posturing with the intent of getting the US involved in a hugely destructive war since the economy has failed and the bottom getting ready to drop out? Why would Obama and Clinton continue to support the ISIS terrorists who want to kill us when even our own Director of the US Defense Intelligence Agency is warning the world to expect increased ISIS terror attacks in 2016? As Trump stated, "maybe Obama (and Clinton) don't want to get rid of the problem"; however, when we consider that 'the problem' is a group of radicals who want to kill us and destroy our way of life, we wonder how it is that Mrs. Clinton is still a serious candidate for the office of president in America and how is it that Mr. Obama's entire administration hasn't been charged with treason for supporting terrorism? From Sputnik News.: "In fact, the Saudis who support several terrorist groups in Syria together with the US are especially interested to overthrow President Assad. The Americans, in turn, want to prevent Russians from playing the main part in the reorganization in Syria." With 'ultimate neocon' Hillary Clinton now completely falling apart at the seams in New Hampshire and nationally and the neocons having lost complete control of the Republican party, we have to ask again, will we even have a general election in November 2016 or will the globalists who have every reason to want to see America fail pull off a World war or massive false flag or real attack upon America that drives the final stake through our Republic's heart? Gary Franchi takes a look at the news of Russia putting their troops on high alert in the 1st video while the 2nd video below from Prophetic signs gives us a compilation of recent mainstream news media reports that help to show that Syria is becoming the likely battleground for World War 3. Is war what happens when all else fails? Why is it that so few Christian refugees are being admitted to America from Syria and the war-torn Middle East as asked in the final video below from TRUNEWS? Are Americans being set up for a huge fall?

Humanizing Babies?

By Hal Lindsey

Can you imagine a worldview that sees all (or almost all) human beings as a mistakes? That perspective sounds so extreme, you may wonder if anyone really feels that way. I assure you they do. On Sunday, a group called NARAL Pro-Choice America, the nation’s oldest pro-choice group, “live-tweeted” the Super Bowl commercials. That means after an ad ran, they would send out a tweet assessing it. Thirty seconds of airtime on this year’s Super Bowl broadcast cost $5 million. Not many organizations can afford that, but they could piggyback off of the public’s interest in Super Bowl commercials to get their own message out. That’s what NARAL did. While most of America had fun watching the game, NARAL took on the serious work of judging which ads rose high enough on the Political Correctness meter, and which ones didn’t. As a result, the ads became something like inkblots in a “Rorschach test.” That’s where the person tested is shown a series of inkblots and asked to give a quick impression of what he or she is seeing. Quick reactions can be extremely telling. To live-tweet the Super Bowl ads meant NARAL had to formulate their responses on the fly. That kind of thing can reveal more than it’s meant to. In a Hyundai commercial, actor and comedian Kevin Hart played an exceedingly vigilant dad. It was over-the-top comedy — completely absurd. As much as fathers might want to, they don’t threaten their daughters’ dates while hanging from attack helicopters. To most viewers, it was a joke. NARAL scolded, “Taking away your daughter’s autonomy and stalking her on a date isn't funny.” An Audi ad featured a fictitious American astronaut from the 1960s. He was bored and depressed until he got behind the wheel of an Audi R8 which reminded him of his early days in a spacecraft. NARAL complained, “You couldn't find a single female astronaut to feature in your ad?” There were no female American astronauts in the 1960s. So, no, they couldn’t. They slammed several companies along the way, but their real agenda showed up in a critique of Doritos. The ad shows an expectant mother getting an ultrasound. The technician says, “And there’s your beautiful baby. Any day now.…” To the chagrin of the mother, the dad is eating Doritos. He notices that no matter which way he moves the corn chip, the child in the womb reacts by moving in that direction. It was absurd and silly, with an ending meant to make the audience laugh by shocking them. NARAL tweeted. “Doritos ad using #antichoice tactic of humanizing fetuses.” And there it is. “Humanizing fetuses.” If not human, what species does NARAL think resides in the womb? Remember, this baby is full term. It’s due, “Any day now.” Yet this pro-abortion group says it is wrong to see this child as human. Even with all the pro-abortion propaganda of recent years, more and more young people understand the truth. New technology lets them see the unborn child with increasing clarity. Nothing has “humanized the fetus” in the public’s mind as much as the technology that allows us to see the baby — hands, feet, face, facial expressions, and personality. It takes a special kind of blindness to see that fetus as less than human. Another tweet shows the underlying hatred of humanity that animates these kinds of organizations. The NFL ran at least two commercials as a part of its “Football is Family” ad campaign. They began with a graphic that said, “Data suggests 9 months after a Super Bowl victory, winning cities see a rise in births. They’re called Super Bowl Babies.” The ads featured choirs of people born in Super Bowl winning cities nine months after their teams won the game. It emphasized children. NARAL said, “Super Bowl Babies? Use protection, sports fans.” After the second version of the ad, they tweeted, “More Super Bowl babies?!?! Get thee an IUD!” In other words, each of the children and young people joyfully singing in those ads were mistakes that should have been prevented or aborted. NARAL saw each of these precious children as something that should have been murdered in the womb — with their more valuable body parts sold by Planned Parenthood, and the rest disposed of in a landfill. Jesus said, “Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones.” (Matthew 18:10 NKJV) Abortion has become the most cruel “killing machine” of all times. The ancient Romans frequently left their newborn babies on the trash heaps to die. But today’s unborn children are killed in the womb as late as full term. If you have participated in an abortion, you can repent and confess your sin and become a Christian. But our Gracious Father God takes it very seriously. Don’t put this off. Bow your head and ask Jesus Christ to forgive you of all your sins, and he will forgive them based on His death in our place to pay for our sins past, present and future. Tell Him to please come into you heart and make you what He wants to do with your life. If you have invited Him into your heart, then welcome to God’s forever family. Seek to learn of Him and to walk with Him.

Scientists Escalate In Favor Of Genetically Modifying Humans

February 11, 2016 by SkyWatch Editor

A New kind of eternal life: The growing trend transhumanism Movement

We have in our hands technology that can finally refashion the genetic makeup of progeny. Let’s consider the mosquitos mentioned earlier. Using CRISPR researchers at the University of California engineered mosquitos that stop the malaria parasite from growing in them. The hair rising aspect of all this, is that this gene is dominant. Should these mosquitos be released into the wild to breed, their offspring will also be malaria resistant. So let’s skip past the technicalities. Should CRISPR be used in the modification of human the human genome? The potential behind gene editing research is far too great, to be held back by bans and moratoriums. Advanced gene editing techniques can benefit millions – its research, the authors conclude, is a moral imperative. The profound ethical issues raised are best addressed through debate and the judiciary; legislation to prevent abuse or premature use of this technology. There’s a hint of irony when the scientists call for a halt on research for sake of ethics, and the ethicists call for further research for sake of progress. There is little doubt that gene editing is the medical breakthrough, that when it comes to fruition will be picked up by the therapeutic and cosmetic alike. (READ MORE)

Thirteen Year Old Girls Service the Global Elite Courtesy of the Super Bowl and CPS

12 Feb, 2016 by Dave Hodges

There is a lot preparation and production that goes into making the Super Bowl an enjoyable event. And for some, this includes sexually exploiting our children for perverted pleasure and fun for the elite who travel great distances to attend the Super Bowl every year. Children are abducted, forcibly hooked on drugs, repeatedly raped and then trained to “service” the elite who attend major sporting events such as the Super Bowls. The FBI have released details of their anti-sex trafficking operation which targeted increased forced prostitution in the run-up to the Super Bowl. Recently, seven underage girls, ranging in age from 14 to 17, were rescued by the FBI in the San Francisco Bay Area in connection with the recent Super Bowl. Disturbingly, the FBI determined that among the rescued teenagers were high-school students and children who had been reported missing by their parents. Additionally, a “developmentally delayed adult” who was being sexually exploited was rescued after the child’s pimp was arrested. During the Super Bowl prostitution sting operation, 12 pimps and 85 prostitution clients were arrested, while a further 129 adults were arrested or“contacted” by the FBI for prostitution. This represents the mere tip of the iceberg and the authorities know and it and these token arrests are merely window dressing so the elite can continue with their depraved hedonism. The NFL, the Super Bowl and Child Prostitution Child prostitution is an estimated $35-50 billion dollar a year illicit industry, second only to drug trafficking/ This heinous practice victimizes between 300,000 to 400,000 American children every year in some form of sex-trafficking, according to the Blue Campaign, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security program aimed at educating the public about the crime. The average age for entering into child prostitution is only 13 years old, according to the Department of Justice. Two previous CNN news reports discuss how the Super Bowl and prostitution, especially child sex trafficking go hand in hand. It is interesting that the NFL demands that local cities pay for their security costs, but not one dime of this money goes to prevent these heinous crimes. The NFL does not even offer as much as a Public Service Announcement to renounce the practice. This is a case of condoning this illicit industry through the complicity of silence. ABC News calls the Super Bowl the biggest day of child prostitution in the world. High school students, teens as young as 13 and other children previously reported missing by their families were among 16 juveniles rescued from forced prostitution during the 2014 Super Bowl events in and around New Jersey, according to an FBI task force. Even our congressional representatives cannot stem the tide of massive amounts of children being stolen from parents and trafficked out for the pleasure of the elite. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney And of course, there is the omnipresent DynCorp child sex trafficking scandal. On March 11th 2005, Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney grilled Secretary Rumsfeld and General Myers on the DynCorp child sex trafficking case. “Mr. Secretary, I watched President Bush delivered a moving speech at the United Nations in September 2003, in which he mentioned the crisis of the sex trade. The President called for the punishment of those involved in this horrible business. But at the very moment of that speech, DynCorp was exposed for having been involved in the buying and selling of young women and children. While all of this was going on, DynCorp kept the Pentagon contract to administer the smallpox and anthrax vaccines, and is now working on a plague vaccine through the Joint Vaccine Acquisition Program. Mr. Secretary, is it the policy of the U.S. Government to reward companies that traffic in women and little girls?” Rumsfeld fumbled around and blamed a single employee of DynCorp for these transgressions and DynCorp, at that time, continued to receive government contracts. McKinney was subsequently driven from office. Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is one of very few government officials in high office aside from Cynthia McKinney to demand answers on this issue. And what may you ask happened to Blagojevich? He was framed for trying to sell Obama’s senatorial seat in a story that made no sense. Does this tell us how high up the corruption goes? Unfortunately, stolen children only account for a small amount of underage sex slaves working in America. The bulk of these victims come from children stolen and subsequently lost by the various CPS’ around the country. CPS Is the Biggest Traffickers of Children In the Country The Murder/Suiciding of GA. State Senator Nancy Schaefer Former Georgia State Senator, Nancy Schaefer was an outspoken opponent of Child Protective Services (CPS). Schaefer authored an investigation in which, among other findings, revealed the following: “…the separation of families is growing as a business because local governments have grown accustomed to having taxpayer dollars to balance their ever-expanding budgets. The Adoption and the Safe Families Act, set in motion by President Bill Clinton, offered cash “bonuses” to the states for every child they adopted out of foster care. In order to receive the “adoption incentive bonuses” local child protective services need more children. They must have merchandise (children) that sell and you must have plenty of them so the buyer can choose. Some counties are known to give a$4,000 bonus for each child adopted and an additional $2,000 for a “special needs” child. Employees work to keep the federal dollars flowing. The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect in 1998 reported that six times as many children died in foster care than in the general public and that once removed to official “safety”, these children are far more likely to suffer abuse, including sexual molestation than in the general population. That according to the California Little Hoover Commission Report in 2003, 30% to 70% of the children in California group homes do not belong there and should not have been removed from their homes. …poor parents often times are targeted to lose their children because they do not have the where-with-all to hire lawyers and fight the system. Being poor does not mean you are not a good parent or that you do not love your child, or that your child should be removed and placed with strangers.” In this document, Schaefer makes it clear that organizations, such as The Second Mile, procure their underage victims by making children wards of the State. CPS has unchecked legal authority to remove children, with or without cause. Subsequently, CPS and their partners, the corrupt juvenile court judges can place these children wherever they see fit (e.g. The Franklin House, Boys Town, Elm House, The Second Mile Foundation) where unimaginable horrors take place. Following the making of these videos Nancy Schaefer, according to the formal autopsy, was murdered by her husband who killed her because he had health problems. This murder suicide culminated with the husband shooting himself in the back. In reality, Nancy Schaefer was murdered for trying to expose this heinous practices associated with CPS. Conclusion How high does this state-sponsored exploitation of children go? It goes all the way to the top. Brandon Turbeville successfully linked proven British pedophile Jimmy Savile to Prince Charles. As previously stated, George H. W. Bush has been accused of participating in these heinous actions. Of course there is the Franklin Scandal and on and on and on. To those naive people who could never believe that the leaders of the world could be complicit in participating in the Zionist controlled sex rings on the planet, I would say that this article does not even come close to doing justice to the depth of this satanically inspired practice. If mankind cannot protect the most innocent part of its humanity, then we are indeed a despicable species. I hope all of you enjoyed your Super Bowl football games as the elite enjoyed exploiting our children with the overt and covert support of elements within law enforcement and the government at various levels. After writing this article, I have to go take a shower and wash off the filth.

“A nation that conscripts its daughters for its defense is a nation that no longer deserves a defense.”

February 9, 2016 by FireBreathingChristian

One of the many things that wasn’t debated at Saturday night’s GOP “debate” was the presumption of American State ownership of the American people when it comes to the notion of a military draft. These days, it’s just a given that the State owns everything, including even your body, should it decide that there is a slot in its perpetual war machine that “needs” to be filled by your body, all “for the good of the collective”, of course. That’s just how “conservatism” rolls here in “the land of the free” these days. The State owns everything. The State owns everyone. Or so it thinks (and wants us to think), anyway. Which is where State-run children’s “education” comes in, embedding from childhood on the presuppositions that are essential to fostering a State-centered worldview, thereby creating the submissive, compliant, domesticated and utterly State-dependent culture that we have now in America. After generations of Statist indoctrination at Statist Temples (“schools”), we have arrived at a point where the State is able to openly claim ownership over our homes, our bodies, and pretty much everything else, all while programming us to sing on cue about living in a “land of the free”, pledge on cue our allegiance to the indivisible political power of the American State, and ramble on at the drop of a hat about the freedom-enabling awesomeness of the American State. So it shouldn’t come as any surprise at all that our beloved Statist “leaders” on the Pagan Political Right took roughly three tenths of a second to roll over and accommodate the flagrantly anti-Christ, pro-Statist aim of registering women for the unbiblical draft. In the wake of last weekend’s GOP/Statist “debate”, which touched on this subject in a revealing manner, Doug Wilson chimed in with some helpful observations: Once you have signed off on the nation/state conscripting your daughters to go serve in combat roles, whatever it was you thought you were conserving — thus allowing you to call yourself a conservative — has had a fork stuck in it and is done. Nothing really to conserve any more. A nation that conscripts its daughters for its defense is a nation that no longer deserves a defense. Let that one soak in. Deeply. Wilson continues: . . . some Christians will want to say that the Bible doesn’t say anything about this issue, and so — they say — traditionalists are just getting themselves whizzed up for the sake of some old-timey cultural values. Where does the Bible say anything about this? Let’s wade into this from the shallow end. First, when God had His people go to war, only the men were mustered. Males, twenty years old and up, were mustered for war (e.g. 2 Sam. 24:9). Incidentally, not to get sidetracked, but forced conscription for men is not biblical either. In Scripture the men were mustered, but were not forced to fight. If they did not want to fight, even for dishonorable reasons like fear, they were free to go home. So when a government conscripts men, they are forcing them into a vocation that men are in fact called to perform, with the coercion creating an injustice. But when a government conscripts women for combat, that government has declared war on the permanent things. It is degrading to the women involved, and an utter disgrace to the men who allow it to happen. . . . the Bible flatly prohibits the kind of perverse thinking that would put women into combat. “The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God” (Deut. 22:5). That “which pertaineth unto a man” is a rendering of keli geber, which literally refers to the gear of a warrior. Men are prohibited from chasing after the transvestite kick, whatever that is, and women are prohibited from decking themselves out as an infantryman. It is easy for modern secularists to lump this in with the prohibition of clam chowder, but for those who read the Scriptures with understanding, it should be lumped in with the abominations of sodomy and witchcraft. Unfortunately, many Christians will fall for this latest abomination because it has been artfully decked out in red, white, and blue. And there you have it – the [ahem] Trump card of American Statism: Patriotism. Just wrap a thing – anything – artfully enough in the red, white and blue of America, and the vast majority of Americans – the vast majority of whom claim to be Christians – will dutifully bow and obey, often quite happily and always proudly. That’s what generations of State-run “education” has done for (and to) us. The American State has taken down marriage. The American State has taken over our homes. The American State has emasculated and muted our churches. The American State has overrun and dominated our culture. And now the American State is coming for our daughters as it never has before. Way to go, “American men”. On that note, and in response to it, I’d like to echo and amen Doug Wilson’s closing sentiments: I have argued elsewhere that a man’s central obligation before God is to provide for his family and to protect them. He should bring up his sons to do the same. An essential part of that protection would be to protect your daughters from the appalling policy that would (apparently) be upheld by a President Rubio. So under a President Rubio, it is possible that some of my granddaughters might be drafted. But it is not possible for that to happen without a number of the men around them going to jail first.

5 U.S. law enforcement officers shot dead within days

By Jason Hanna, CNN Updated 6:11 AM ET, Fri February 12, 2016

(CNN) Gunfire claimed the lives of at least five on-duty officers in an unusually deadly week for U.S. law enforcement. In four days, five officers were killed in the line of duty in shootings around the country, more than doubling the number of officers who have died by gunfire so far this year. A Colorado sheriff's deputy died after being shot Monday; two sheriff's deputies were killed Wednesday in Maryland; a police officer in Georgia is dead after gunfire broke out Thursday while he and other officers were serving a warrant; and a police officer shot Wednesday night in North Dakota did not survive, authorities say. Before these deaths were reported, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund said at least three other U.S. law enforcement officers had died from gunfire in the line of duty this year. Adding the totals together, that would make at least eight since January 1. Fallen officers: Separated by thousands of miles, united by similar dangers One officer was shot to death during the same period last year, and at least 42 were fatally shot in 2015 -- a rate of less than one per week -- according to the group. At least 124 officers died in the line of duty last year -- more than two per week -- from all causes, the group said. Below are details of this week's shootings: 2 sheriff's deputies killed in Maryland A gunman shot and killed two deputies Wednesday at a restaurant and outside a nearby apartment complex in eastern Maryland after the officers were called to investigate him, authorities say. Officers went to a Panera Bread restaurant in Abingdon for an investigation late Wednesday morning, according to the Harford County Sheriff's Office. Senior Deputy Patrick Dailey tried to talk to the man, but the man shot Dailey in the head, Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said.

Police kill man they say attacked restaurant patrons with machete

By Rick Rouan & Earl Rinehart The Columbus Dispatch • Thursday February 11, 2016 10:40 PM

Thursday nights are busy at the Nazareth Mediterranean Cuisine restaurant. Musician Bill Foley's covers of John Denver, James Taylor and other classic performers draw a crowd. Micki Zakas had stopped in on Thursday to see Foley and finish some filing. She handles accounting for the Northeast Side Mediterranean restaurant and runs the back office. But when she pulled up, she found the entire area surrounded by crime-scene tape. Columbus police say a man came into the restaurant and began hacking people with a machete, sending four of them to area hospitals and critically injuring at least one. He was shot and killed by police after they tracked him down about 5 miles from the restaurant. etc. and the news story continues..

North Korea says South's pulling out of industrial zone 'declaration of war'

February 12, 2016 - 2:03PM

Beijing: North Korea has ordered the expulsion of all South Korean nationals from the jointly-run Kaesong industrial complex, calling the South's move to suspend operations, in retaliation for Sunday's rocket launch by the North, a "declaration of war". As well as placing the Kaesong industrial complex – the last major symbol of cooperation between the divided nations – under military control, Pyongyang said it would sever communication with the South by cutting off two crucial cross-border hotlines. "Unpardonable is the puppet group's act of totally suspending the operation in (Kaesong), finding fault with the DPRK's H-bomb test and launch of a satellite," the North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea said, referring to South Korea. Seoul's decision to suspend operations at Kaesong was among the more severe non-military sanctions at its disposal, reflecting the South's mounting desperation at an increasingly volatile North's refusal to heed international warnings to cease its weapons development program. etc. and the news story continues.

Scott Kelly from space: Earth's atmosphere 'looks very, very fragile'

By Ashley Strickland, CNN Updated 8:52 AM ET, Fri February 12, 2016 | Video Source: CNN

(CNN) In one of his final interviews from the International Space Station, astronaut Scott Kelly said that the Earth's atmosphere "looks very, very fragile" and "like something that we need to take care of." Kelly will return to Earth in March, but spoke with CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta via satellite. During his time at the space station, Kelly has remained active on social media and often shares his unique perspective of the planet by posting photos. Because of his spectacularly encompassing vantage point, Gupta asked Kelly how he would define the Earth's condition if it were a human body. "There are definitely parts of Asia, Central America that when you look at them from space, you're always looking through a haze of pollution," Kelly said. "As far as the atmosphere is concerned, and being able to see the surface, you know, I would say definitely those areas that I mentioned look kind of sick." He said he notices weather systems, such as tropical cyclones, in unexpected locations. "When you look at the ... atmosphere on the limb of the Earth, I wouldn't say it looks unhealthy, but it definitely looks very, very fragile and just kind of like this thin film, so it looks like something that we definitely need to take care of."

Turkey, Israel Move Toward a Rapprochement

Dorian Jones February 11, 2016 1:48 PM

ISTANBUL— There is growing evidence that Turkey and Israel may be on the brink of a historic handshake Both sides recalled their ambassadors after Israeli security forces killed nine Turks who were trying to break Israel’s sea blockade of Gaza in 2010. The latest diplomatic efforts come as Ankara increasingly finds itself isolated in the region over its support for Syrian rebels. Turkish and Israeli media reported that the two sides held a high level diplomatic meeting this week on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference. Kadri Gursel, a political columnist for the Al-Monitor website, says with Turkey at odds with its southern neighbors over its support for Syrian rebels, who may be facing defeat, Ankara has become dangerously isolated. "Ankara now badly needs Israel, it shows how desperate Ankara is. Because bashing Israel was used as a political tool in 2009 , 2010 and onwards by Ankara to return to the region. Now they desperately need to have normal relations with ... Israel," said Gursel. etc. and the news continues..

ISIS airstrikes by Canada to end by Feb. 22, training forces to triple

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says airstrikes 'do not on their own achieve long-term stability'

By Susana Mas, CBC News Posted: Feb 08, 2016 9:56 AM ET Last Updated: Feb 09, 2016 2:53 AM ET

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada will cease all coalition airstrikes against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria by Feb. 22, while it beefs up its military efforts, including the number of special forces deployed on the ground to train Iraqi forces for the next two years. "It is important to understand that while airstrike operations can be very useful to achieve short-term military and territorial gains, they do not on their own achieve long-term stability for local communities," Trudeau said during an announcement in Ottawa on Monday. "Canadians learned this lesson first-hand during a very difficult decade in Afghanistan, where our forces became expert military trainers renowned around the world." etc. and the news story continues.

Pope Francis' meeting with Iran's President Rouhani fulfils end-time prophecy, Jewish scholars say

Hazel Torres 06 February 2016

Jewish scholars believe that the 2,000-year-old prophecy of the children of Esau (today's Western nations) and the children of Ishmael (today's Arab nations) uniting against the Jewish people as a precursor of the end of days is already being fulfilled. End-time expert and author Rabbi Pinchas Winston and Breaking Israel News (BIN) Bible and prophecy expert Rivkah Lambert Adler both expressed belief that the end-time prophecy is coming to pass as written in the book of Genesis following the meeting between Pope Francis and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in the Vatican last Jan. 26, Charisma News reported. During their meeting, Pope Francis reportedly encouraged Rouhani to find political solutions for the various Middle Eastern conflicts. At the same time, the head of the Roman Catholic Church praised Iran's nuclear agreement with the world's powers. The agreement has already come into effect, with Iran having started to collect an estimated $150 billion of its frozen assets. Critics have warned that the economic windfall Tehran will receive from the deal will bolster its support for the Assad regime in Syria and for its other proxies in the region, like Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah. Although the deal purportedly curbs Iranian production of nuclear materials, critics said Iran could easily resume nuclear-weapons production after a decade of compliance to the agreement. Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu vehemently protested the deal but could do nothing since it had the blessings of six world powers, including the United States. Netanyahu reportedly has stopped complaining about the deal, knowing its futility, and is now focusing on stopping Iranian aggression in the region. "Let's block Iran's other aggression in the region, because they're doing everything. They're trying to encircle Israel with a noose of death," Netanyahu said, according to CNN. "They're sending weapons to the Houthis. They're in Iraq. They're in Afghanistan. They're all over the place. In Yemen, of course. Let's bolster those forces to stand up to Iran's aggression in the region, and none is stronger, none is more reliable than Israel," Netanyahu said. Buoyed by international support and its huge financial windfall, Iran has all the more become belligerent against Israel as it recently threatened to rain down 80,000 missiles on the Jewish nation. With the pope supporting the Iranian nuclear deal and recognising the Palestine State at the same time, Adler and Winston believe that Israel and the world are indeed heading into the end times. Winston said he regrets the action being taken by Israel's supposed allies in the West. "Many in the West, especially in Europe, have overlooked the 'sins' of the Arab world while ignoring the virtues of the Jewish state. They also either make up Israeli flaws or over-exaggerate smaller ones," he said. "In short, they have confused David for Goliath and Goliath for David, with little or no remorse at all. For believers, this is nothing short of a miraculous but disturbing fulfilment of prophecy and a serious wake-up call," he said.

Iran Holds Nothing Back: "It's A Weird Suicide Mission That Will Have A Very Dark End"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/11/2016 20:00 -0500

Earlier today we reported that Saudi Arabia has made a “final” decision to invade Syria. Of course they won’t use the term “invade.” They’ll say the same thing the US says, which is that they need to send in a limited number of ground troops to help fight ISIS. The timing of the announcement quite clearly suggests that the Saudis are going to try and shore up the rebels who are facing imminent defeat at Aleppo where Hezbollah, backed by Russian airstrikes, is about to overrun the opposition. That outcome is unacceptable for the Saudis, who have been funding and supplying the Sunni opposition in Syria for years. For Turkey, it’s pretty much the same story. How Riyadh and Ankara plan to assist the rebels while maintaining the narrative that they’re only in the country to fight Islamic State is an open question, but one thing is for sure: it’s do or die time. In the most literal sense of the phrase. “Publicly, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain are calling for troops to be deployed as part of the US-led international coalition already ranged against Isis,” FT wrote, earlier this week. “But regional observers say the moves are cover for an intervention to help the Syrian rebels.”If Saudi and Turkish forces were deployed at Syria’s northwestern border crossings with Turkey, for example, they would be inside Russia’s operational theatre,” The Times continues. “This would be a total nightmare for the US,” said analyst Aaron Stein, of the Atlantic Council in Washington. “What happens if Russia kills a Turk? They would be killing a Nato member.” Yes, a “total nightmare” for the US and to let one Iranian military source tell it, a “total nightmare” for the Saudis as well. Read below to see what Tehran thinks about Riyadh’s chances of securing a desirable outcome in Syria (note the reference to Saudi Arabia and Islamic State's shared ideology): Via Al-Monitor quoting unnamed Iranian military personnel: "It’s a joke. We couldn't wish [for] more than that. If they can do it, then let them do it — but talking militarily, this is not easy for a country already facing defeat in another war, in Yemen, where after almost one year they have failed in achieving any real victory.” “The Saudis might really take part in this war. Such a decision might come from the rulers of the kingdom without taking into consideration the capabilities of their troops, and here is where the tragedy would occur. They are not well-trained for such terrain. I’m not sure if they sorted out the supply routes they would use — this is assuming that they would only fight [IS] — but it’s obvious they [want to] implement their agenda, after their proxies failed.” “This would mean a regional war. Mistakes can’t be tolerated, especially with the tension mounting around the region. It’s not about Iranians, but about all troops on the ground fighting with the Syrian army. How would the Syrian army deal with a foreign country on its soil, without its permission, and maybe aiming [guns] at them? That would be an occupation force. Can the Saudis control their army? Who can guarantee that some of them might not defect and join [IS]? They have the same ideology and they hold the same beliefs, and many of them are already connected [to IS].” “The Saudis are simply putting themselves in a very weird position that might have a very dark end. The worst thing is that the implications aren’t only going to affect the region, but world peace.”

Limited Nuclear War Within 18 days as Saudis (and Friends) mass 350,000 troops, 20,000 Tanks, 2,450 Planes, 460 Helicopters for Syria Invasion

Post by Newsroom - Feb 10, 2016

Russia will have no choice but to use Tactical (Battlefield) Nuclear Weapons to defend Syria once a ground invasion begins within 18 days, by 350,000 troops, 20,000 Tanks, 2,450 military planes and 460 Helicopters from 25 countries massing in northern Saudi Arabia. Syria has warned "any aggressor entering the country will go home in wooden coffins;" Russia has said "any country sending ground troops into Syria without permission will be considered a declaration of war." Thousands of soldiers from regional countries are set to participate in what is being "called" a military "exercise" media reports say. Saudi media said some 350,000 forces from Persian Gulf Arab states and a number of other countries will take part in a Saudi-led military maneuver in the area of Hafer al-Batin in northern Saudi Arabia. In addition to the massive troop build-up, some 2,540 warplanes, 20,000 tanks and 460 helicopters will also participate in the "exercise," dubbed “North Thunder.” The "exercise" is scheduled to last 18 days, during which the airspace over northern Saudi Arabia will be closed. Media reports say the "exercise" will be the largest in the history of the region. However, SuperStation95 has done research and there is no known example of this much military power being massed for an "exercise" . . . anywhere . . . ever. It seems quite obvious to any thinking person that the notion of an "exercise" is fraudulent on its face; this is an invasion force and when it moves, it will mean war. Egypt, Sudan, Pakistan and Persian Gulf Arab states are among the 25 countries that will also take part in the "exercises." The maneuver comes at a sensitive time after Saudi Arabia announced readiness to participate in any ground incursion in Syria if the US-led coalition decides to start such an operation. (Gee, what a coincidence.) Saudi Arabia is a member of the US-led coalition that has been conducting air raids inside Syria. The airstrikes have been going on without any authorization from the Syrian government or a UN mandate since September 2014. The Saudi "exercise" is believed as preparation for a possible ground incursion into Syria. Reacting to the troop deployment, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem said Saturday, “Let no one think they can attack Syria or violate its sovereignty because I assure you any aggressor will return to their country in a wooden coffin.” Pavel Krasheninnikov, a deputy of Russia’s State Duma, has warned Saudi Arabia that any military ground operation in Syria without Damascus’ consent would amount to a declaration of war.

On the Run from Everyone

February 11, 2016 By Ray Starmann

ISIS has us on the run…

They know our air campaign is a joke. They know that their enemy, the great United States of America is afraid to bomb their oil tankers, afraid to bomb their headquarters, afraid to bomb their training camps and target their leaders because of concerns over environmental damage or collateral damage. They know they are fighting an enemy that is more concerned with organic foods, LED batteries, climate change and being gender neutral than destroying the most evil entity the world has seen since Nazi Germany. The Iranians have us on the run…and crying… The United States of America is the laughing stock of the world right now. We’ve gone from the US military that nearly blew Iraq off the face of the earth in Gulf War One, to a US military of crying sailors and naval officers who surrender without firing a shot then double down by telling their captors their treatment is fantastic. The Iranians know that they can verbally sodomize the United States, harass our military personnel and all Obama and John Kerry will do is thank them for their kindness. The Iranians know we are weak. What else should they think? We surrender when we outgun them. We praise and thank them when they put guns to our heads and make us kneel in submission. We give them 150 billion in payments as part of a sucker’s deal, so hideous that even Jimmy Carter is outraged. What do Obama and Kerry think the Iranians are going to do with the money, buy time shares in Aspen? The Russians have us on the run… Putin knows he can do whatever he wants in Syria or in the Ukraine or in Timbuktu and all Obama and Kerry will do is make endless speeches condemning the Man from the KGB. Putin is a busy bee, forging deals with our new BFF, Iran, the Syrians, the Iraqis and the Chinese. The Chinese have us on the run… The Chinese know they can do whatever they want in the South China Sea and all Obama will do is send the Love Boat through on a pleasure cruise, as we wave to the Chinese and disappear over the horizon. Meanwhile, the Chinese will continue to island build and soon control the Pacific, while Ray Mabus focuses on blotting the words MAN from every naval term in the book. Houston we have a problem. We definitely have a problem; a big, burgeoning problem. The North Koreans have us on the run… The little creep with the Sha Na Na hairdo, Kim Jong Un, threatens the US on almost a daily basis, from telling us that he’s going to hit the West Coast with nuclear missiles, to daily threats of imminent war. Instead of telling the puny punk to shut up or he’ll never see another US grain shipment, Obama and Kerry bow to him as well. Do we stand up to anyone anymore? Do we have the will to fight anymore? Do we have the means to fight anymore? Across the world, the Stars and Stripes is in full retreat. The US flag hasn’t been on the run this much since it was in the hands of the Union Army and Generals McDowell, McClellan, Burnside, Pope and Hooker. Oh, wait, I forgot Meade. We are on the run because Obama and Kerry are feckless fools. We are on the run because Obama and Kerry believe ingratiating themselves to the bad guys will cause them to like us. But, the bad guys, like all bad guys in history; big and small, from the school yard bully to Hitler understand only one thing, being carpet bombed with a punch in the mouth or 1,000 pound bombs coming through their office windows. Ash Carter will make a brazen comment of frustration every once in a while, but he knuckles under and is in the process of dynamiting what is left of the US military’s fighting spirit and prowess. Carter seemed genuinely upset when asked about the recent horrendous conduct of the US Navy in the Persian Gulf three weeks ago. What else do you get Mr. Carter when you eviscerate the rock ‘em, sock ‘em culture out of the US military? You get a military that won’t fight, led by a commander in chief who won’t fight, who dispatches a Secretary of State that won’t fight. Dot, Dot, Dot, Dash, Dash, Dash, Dot, Dot, Dot SOS, America

There’s Something Strange Happening Here…

Written by Diane Rodgers on Feb. 7, 2016

About two years the Nation watched as Cliven Bundy stood in opposition against an unjust seizure of his ranch and grazing rights by the BLM. The event grew as patriotic Americans responded to his aid. The growing protest was ultimately successful in forcing the BLM to turn tail and retreat in face of the growing support that they could no longer control. Fast forward now to January 2, 2016 and we have a similar situation with the BLM is small town out west called Burns, Oregon. Since the start of this protest, the Main Stream Media (MSM) has been putting forth articles and news reports using such adjectives as “armed militants”, “right wing racists”, “terrorists” or “armed thugs”. Every story I read or listened to was basically the same, always one sided. I follow the belief that there are 3 sides to every story; you could call it her side, his side and the Truth. So when only one side is ever told, it is safe to assume that there is an agenda afoot. An agenda the MSM never speaks about. So in my quest to get to the Truth, I decided to take an eight day vacation from my full time job to travel 3,000 miles via plane and car to that small town out west call Burns. What you are about to read is exactly what I witnessed and learned from my westward trip. I hope that this article, and those to follow, will help you see through the smokescreen of lies the media, at the bequest of our federal government , have been and are still telling us as the means to controlling the narrative. Contrary to the MSM stories one finds on the situation in Burns Oregon, the real terrorist in Burns Oregon are not the framer, ranchers or loggers, nor are they the patriotic first responders. The farmer, ranchers and loggers are salt of the earth people, they are hardworking folks who bust their butts every day to earn a living as many of us do on a daily basis. The Patriotic first responders, men and women who have left behind their lives, families, friends and jobs in order to come to Burns to bring attention to the illegal land grabs and the usurpation of our Constitution. These people present no threat to the people of Burns as evidenced by the fact that they frequent the local stores, shops, restaurants and bars without any issues. At first glance, it is easy to accept the media story that Sheriff David Ward invited the FBI to take over local control of the situation to help protect the citizens of Burns Oregon from a band of “armed occupiers”. But that is for another article. So let’s take a closer look at several key issues that most may not be seeing. In past decades whenever there was a civil protest it was customary for the local police and maybe the use of the state police to control and insure that the protest remains peaceful. During the protests of the late 60’s when demonstration began turning violent, State’s at the request of their Governors started to call in the National Guard to assist the police in maintaining order and protecting the public. The question to ask is why didn’t Oregon Governor, Kate Brown, in accordance with Title 32 of the United States Code, call for the Oregon National Guard to assist in any local police action in response to the “armed occupiers” at the Malheur Refuge. Could it be that Gov. Kate Brown was appointed to her position, not elected by the People of her State, as was Sheriff David Ward of Harney County? Could it be that these appointed officials are beholden, not the good People of Oregon, but strictly to those entities that placed them in their position and power. Another unusual fact is that Special Agent Greg Bretzing in charge of the Malhuer Refuge Occupation happens to be linked to a Nation Security breach along with other fraud and corruption violation, as reported by The Shasta Lantern. Click here to view that article. But, here in Burns the situation is much different and potentially much more ominous and deadly, as evidenced by the murder of LaVoy Finicum, by agencies yet to be fully disclosed. Authorities acting under the color of law but not in adherence to our laws, first closed down the Burns school system, even though the “armed occupiers”, of which only 4 are now remaining, are located 30 plus miles from downtown Burns in the middle of nowhere. WHY? Why was this necessary? Road blocks, closures and check points are now common place in in and around Burns. Many of the local people have claimed that they are being randomly pulled over by “authorities” demanding they provide their ID’s for just driving down the street. There are locals being stopped at armed check points and forced out of their vehicle at gun point while their personal belongings and vehicle are thoroughly searched. One rancher, Thom Davis, related his story in which he had a slowly dying horse on the range that needed to be humanly put down in order to relieve its suffering. The only trouble being that he was not that far from one of these check points and feared that should he have ended the horse’s suffering with a shot to the head, he too would have suffered the same fate. A fate that was later confirmed when he talked to the sheriff. In another case the authorities actually took their vehicle a quarter mile beyond the check point and made them walk to get it. Yet, in another case, Alexandra Puckett, described in a facebook post, the treatment and gun point threats from authorities that her husband and his mom encountered while trying only to feed their cows. These actions taken by authorities have more in common with those of a Military Occupying Force in Iraq or Afghanistan they do with normal police actions here in American. The terrorization of Burns and throughout Harney County is, by no stretch of the imagination, being conducted by the ever increasing militarization of Federal and State agencies. With many reports of in conjunction with an illegal and unconstitutional buildup of a foreign mercenary army of PMC’s, an invading army if you will, acting under the color of law but not in adherence to our laws. Claim as they do that they are FBI, their tactics and use of vehicle void of any US military or alphabet agency marking or insignias, and lack of compliance with US Law, even when asked they present no documentation that they are indeed FBI. A video clip of this fact can be seen here Additionally, other armored assets from distant counties are in Burns. I ask, Is all this really necessary to protect the public from 4 people still at the Refuge located 30 miles away, armed with a few rifles and hand guns, and already contained by authorities so they cannot escape from there. Or is something else going on here? In these photos above you can see that the armored vehicles do not have any US military or Federal Agency marking A guard posted at the entrance to Burns Airport. While his Velcro patch says Police he refused to talk or produce and ID as to that fact. Note the tents set up in the background. Further there are claims that Blackhawk helicopters are being stationed at Burns Airport and in the surrounding area. For a link to that report click here In a recorded phone call to Major Bomar, Judge Darby explains that the forces present in Burns are most likely under the command and control of the UN and the IMF. In other words, foreign forces acting freely on US soil, a clear violation of our Constitution. Judge Darby audio click here Why, you ask would foreign PMC’s be doing here on the ground in the middle of nowhere in eastern Oregon, and under whose authorization are they being allowed to operate. Could it be that they are here to seize control of these lands for the mineral rights and related wealth for foreign governments. Well, as usual it’s all about following the money. In this case the money is the mineral wealth that these lands contain. As most are aware Hillary Clinton has sold our uranium to Russia, , for personal gain and power. While China is buying up as much gold as possible, an gold is another mineral the lands out west are still rich in. Could China be laying claim to this gold as collateral for our national debt . Further info can be found here and here It is time for the People of America to start asking questions of their representatives as to whose authority these foreign forces and here operation under and why none of them are Obeying their Oath to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic! It’s time We The People embrace our differences, differences that make each and every one of us an Individual, Unite in One Voice and Demand a Redress of Grievances to address these issues in a manner that is consistent with the procedures set forth in the US Constitution . Our Founders wrote in the Declaration of Independence : “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundations on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall deem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness” Therefore, We have the Constitutional Right and Duty to cast aside an overbearing federal government and build anew, by putting the Power back into the hand of its Rightful Owners… We the People. To do otherwise will only plays into their bloody hands.

Global Assault on Banks Intensifies

Nicholas Comfort February 11, 2016 — 6:38 PM EST Updated on February 12, 2016 — 6:29 AM EST

Credit Suisse touched 27-year low as Thiam's plan questioned

Cost of insuring European financials against default spikes

Credit Suisse Group AG shares plunged to the lowest in a generation on Thursday and a one-year contract to insure Deutsche Bank AG debt against default surged to a record as a global rout in financial companies intensified. Theories abound as to what lies behind the months-long selloff, with some traders fretting over falling oil prices, China’s economy and negative interest rates. A pullback by some sovereign-wealth funds has also been blamed for lower asset prices. Whatever the cause, the hammering has been the worst in Europe, where concerns persist about the health of some of the biggest banks eight years after the financial crisis. “The market is aggressively penalizing banks,” said Nikhil Srinivasan, who oversees 480 billion euros ($543 billion) as chief investment officer at Assicurazioni Generali SpA in Milan. “It’s going to be a challenging 2016, and I don’t see a short tunnel -- this could go on for a while.” Investors have fled lenders that show signs of weakness, as Societe Generale SA did Thursday when the Paris-based bank said it might miss its profitability goal this year. The stock plunged 13 percent that day, the most since 2011. Both Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank published dismal fourth-quarter results in recent weeks that have sent shareholders and bondholders to the exits. Commerzbank Rebound Europe’s banks rebounded Friday, led by Commerzbank AG, after Germany’s second-largest lender reported a higher capital ratio than some analysts had anticipated and said it would wind down bad loans quicker than planned. Even after the bounce, the Stoxx Europe 600 Banks index remains down 26 percent this year. “Many producers of oil and commodities invested part of their high profits in stock markets,” and may now face pressure to sell holdings because they need money to finance their budgets, Commerzbank Chief Executive Officer Martin Blessing told reporters in Frankfurt on Friday. “You just have to keep your nerve.” U.S. lenders haven’t been spared. JPMorgan Chase & Co. dropped to the lowest in more than two years after Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said Thursday that the central bank was taking another look at negative interest rates as a potential policy tool if the U.S. economy faltered, a scenario some investors view as a possibility amid a darkening outlook for world growth. That didn’t stop JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon from buying 500,000 shares of the bank’s stock on Thursday, paying $26.6 million, according to a filing. The shares rose on the news in late trading in New York. ‘Challenging Environment’ Shares of Zurich-based Credit Suisse have lost almost half their value since October, when CEO Tidjane Thiam embarked on an overhaul to focus on wealth management, especially in Asia, just as economic growth in China slowed. The cost of insuring the bank’s subordinated securities against default for five years rose Thursday to the highest level since 2012, even as the stock sank to a 27-year low. “It’s not a great time to be a bank,” Thiam said in a presentation to investors Wednesday. “So I’m using the current challenging environment to accelerate the transformation that I’m driving.” The damage hasn’t been confined to the stock market. The cost of insuring European financial firms against default has spiked to the highest in three years, according to the Markit iTraxx Europe Subordinated Financial Index of 30 companies. Fears about Deutsche Bank’s woes have crept into the credit derivatives market, where a rush to insure against losses is distorting prices. That has pushed the cost of insurance for one year of protection to more than contracts insuring for five years, according to data from S&P Capital IQ. The cost to protect debt with swaps typically rises the longer the term of the contract as investors pay more for the risk of unexpected events. German banking supervisor Bafin has monitored the volatility in Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank shares this week, Handelsblatt reported on Thursday, citing unidentified people in the finance industry. An index of contingent convertible bank debt, or CoCos, which is supposed to act as a capital buffer by converting to equity in the event banks run into trouble, has fallen sharply this month. Standard Chartered Plc’s $2 billion of subordinated notes that mature in 2044 have dropped more than 23 cents in less than a month, to 78.2 cents on the dollar on Thursday, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. ‘Rock Solid’ European banks have pushed back by pointing to stronger capital ratios. Deutsche Bank co-CEO John Cryan told staff in a memo on Tuesday that the Frankfurt-based company’s financial strength is “rock solid.” Societe Generale Deputy CEO Severin Cabannes called recent turbulence “disconnected from market reality” in an interview with Bloomberg TV on Thursday. Still, global investment banking and trading revenue will probably fall 8.7 percent to $168 billion this year, analysts at Morgan Stanley said in a note to clients Wednesday. “Banks are always going to suffer during periods of market volatility given transactions don’t take place,” said Martin Wilhelm, founder of IfK GmbH, which manages 500 million euros of fixed-income securities in Kiel, Germany. “They get hit across advisory, origination, trading and asset management.” Europe’s two biggest investment banks -- Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse -- may be hit especially hard as they unwind parts of their securities units and sell assets in restructurings the companies unveiled last year. Potential Losses “Getting out of investment banking is a hell of a lot more difficult than getting in,” Oswald Gruebel, a former CEO of UBS Group AG, said in an interview Wednesday. “You have to get out of businesses that carry a lot of goodwill, which you’ll have to write down, and that carry huge positions of hundreds of billions of dollars. You need time to do that, you cannot do that from today to tomorrow, because the write-offs would be so big that you’d be left with no capital.” Lenders are also set to face a spike in provisions for soured credit to the oil and gas industry as the slump in prices makes it tougher for companies to make payments. Analysts at Bank of America Corp. predict European banks may face potential loan losses from energy firms of $27 billion. European banks are paying for not following their competitors and taking tough decisions to raise capital and trim their focus after the 2008 financial crisis, according to John Mack, a former Morgan Stanley CEO. “Clearly people are scared, they’re worried about the banking system, they don’t see much growth in Europe,” Mack said in an interview Wednesday on Bloomberg TV. “All of these banks in Europe have been overly aggressive in the past. They’ve got to get back to basics, that’s the short answer.”

Gerald Celente Warns The Global Crash Of 2016 Will Be Twice As Devastating As The 2008 Collapse

February 11, 2016

With gold spiking nearly $70 at one point during today’s trading, today the top trends forecaster in the world warned King World News that the global crash of 2016 will be twice as devastating as the 2008 collapse. Eric King: “Gerald, Stephen Leeb told King World News today that “The world is scared to death of deflation.” Gerald Celente: “Well, people should be scared to death of deflation. And it’s more than oil prices that are deflating. According to the Bloomberg Commodity Index, commodities have now plunged to 1991 levels. Eric, this deflation is really a global depression….

Investors 'go bananas' for gold bars as global stock markets tumble

Bullion dealers report record sales as buyers "queue round the block" to purchase the precious metal

By Elizabeth Anderson 11:50AM GMT 11 Feb 2016

BullionByPost, Britain's biggest online gold dealer, said it has already taken record-day sales of £5.6m as traders pile into gold following fears the world is on the brink of another financial crisis. Rob Halliday-Stein, founder and managing director of the Birmingham-based company, said takings today had already surpassed the firm's previous one-day record of £4.4m in October 2014. BullionByPost, which takes orders of up to £25,000 on the website but takes higher amounts over the phone, explained it had received a few hundred orders overnight and frantic numbers of phone calls this morning. "The bullion market has been building with interest since the end of last year but this morning things have gone bananas," said Mr Halliday-Stein. "Some bankers in London are placing unusually large orders for physical gold." London-based ATS Bullion added it had been inundated with orders for the past week. The firm has sold 4,000 gold bars and coins since February 1, a 40pc rise on the same period a year ago when it sold 1,500. "It's been crazy - it's been the best week since 2012. We've had people queuing round the block," said Michael Cooper of ATS Bullion, a family run firm that trades online and also from an outlet in the West End. Gold is currently at its highest level since May, with prices surging 2.2pc this morning to $1,218.17 for an ounce of the precious metal. Gold producers are among the biggest risers on the FTSE today, with shares in Rangold Resources and Fresnillo up 6.3pc and 6.2pc respectively. Online gold investment platform BullionVault recorded its busiest-ever trading day on Monday, with investors buying and selling more than a quarter-tonne of gold, worth £7.2m, and more than 5 tonnes of silver, worth £1.7m. The World Gold Council said this morning that demand for the precious metal grew 4pc in the fourth quarter as central banks bolstered their reserves to diversify away from the dollar. Russia's central bank stockpiled the most gold last quarter, adding an estimated 60 tonnes to its reserves. The country bought around 200 tonnes of gold last year, 141 tonnes of which is thought to have been snapped up over the summer. Global stock markets have had a torrid time in recent months. In early trading on Thursday morning, the FTSE 100 sank to a fresh three-year low. RBS warned last month that major stock markets could fall by a fifth this year, and oil may plummet to $16 a barrel. Meanwhile the price of gold, typically seen as a safe haven by investors, has risen 15pc since the beginning of the year. • Debt, defaults, and devaluations: why this market crash is like nothing we've seen before

World Now On The Edge Of Total Panic As Gold Spikes $60 And Global Stock Markets Plunge

February 11, 2016

With gold spiking more than $60, the dollar falling and bonds surging, today one of the top money managers in the world warned King World News that the world is now in the early stages of total panic as global stock markets plunge. King World News warned its global readers yesterday that global panic was coming because of the derivative nightmare in Hong Kong. Well, it’s here… Total Global Panic

Stephen Leeb: “Right now we are seeing the early stages of total global panic and we are seeing that reflected in the $60 spike in the price of gold today… In Volatile Markets, Is Wealth Preservation King? In a King World News interview I spoke with the man who predicted the Swiss National Bank would experience staggering losses and that the Fed would also experience massive losses that will destabilize the global financial system! His company is the only one in the world offering a precious metals investment service outside the banking system, with direct ownership and full control by the investor. He has also become legendary for his predictions on QE, historic moves in currencies, and major global events. To find out what he and his company can do to help answer that age old question for you CLICK HERE. Stephen Leeb continues: “The world is scared to death of deflation right now and it has to do with the collapse in the oil price. But that oil collapse is going to reverse in a big way. It could start today or next week but that reversal is coming. The Metal Of Kings Is Now Ascending Gold is in the very early stages of returning to its role as the supreme currency in the world and this next leg of the bull market will see the price of gold push through $10,000.” And there goes the Gold/Oil ratio… Gold/Oil Ratio Hits Shocking New All-Time High Of 47:1!

Obama goes after Social Security recipients’ guns

Posted on February 11, 2016 by Dr. Eowyn

Obama said that his top priority for his remaining time in office is gun control. He’s already done it to our military veterans — getting the dysfunctional Veterans Administration to take guns away from veterans deemed “mentally unfit”. (See “Obama regime prohibits disabled veterans from owning firearms and ammunition”) Now, Obama is extending the same BOHICA “courtesy” to Social Security recipients. Alan Zarembo reports for The Los Angeles Times, July 18, 2015, that Obama plans to ban millions of Social Security recipients from owning guns, as “part of a concerted effort by the Obama administration after the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn., to strengthen gun control, including by plugging holes in the background check system.” For the links to the posts FOTM has published on the Sandy Hook false-flag, go here. The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), with a database of more than 13 million records, is used to prevent gun sales to felons, fugitives, drug addicts, illegal immigrants, domestic abusers, dishonorably discharged service members, and others. The law requires gun stores to run the names of prospective buyers through the computerized background check system before every sale. Already, Obama’s Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) has expanded the category of “others” to include veterans who are incompetent to manage their pension or disability payments, and are assigned a fiduciary. Conservative groups have denounced the policy as an excuse to strip veterans of their gun rights. Social Security has never participated in the background check system. Now, Obama means to change that by including some 4.2 million Social Security (SS) recipients who “lack mental capacity” — whose monthly disability payments are handled by others (“representative payees”) due to “marked subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease.” Critics — including gun rights activists, mental health experts and advocates for the disable — say that although such a ban would keep people who pose a danger to themselves or others from owning guns, the strategy undoubtedly would also include people who may just have a bad memory or difficulty balancing a checkbook. Yale psychiatrist Dr. Marc Rosen, who has studied how veterans with mental health problems manage their money, points out that “Someone can be incapable of managing their funds but not be dangerous, violent or unsafe. They are very different determinations.” Rosen said some veterans may avoid seeking help for mental health problems out of fear that they would be required to give up their guns. Ari Ne’eman, a member of the National Council on Disability (NCD), said the NCD would oppose any policy that used assignment of a representative payee as a basis to take any fundamental right from people with disabilities. Steven Overman, a 30-year-old former Marine who lives in Virginia, said he “didn’t know the VA could take away your guns” and that his case demonstrates the flaws of judging gun safety by the yardstick of financial competence. After his Humvee hit a roadside bomb in Iraq in 2007, Overman was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and a brain injury that weakened his memory and cognitive ability, and was deemed 100% disabled by the VA. In 2012, after declaring Overman incompetent and making his wife his fiduciary, the VA reported him to the background check system. So Overman surrendered his guns to his mother and began working with a lawyer to get them back because he enjoys target shooting and has never felt he is a danger to himself or others. More than a year and a half after Overman filed his challenge, the VA finally lifted its incompetence ruling, allowing his removal from the background check system. Overman, who hasn’t worked since leaving the military, said he and a friend are now thinking of opening a gunsmith business. In the case of the proposed Social Security Administration policy to take guns from SS recipients, what is even more of a concern is that the agency has been drafting its policy outside of public view. Even the National Rifle Association (NRA) was unaware of it. Told about the initiative, the NRA issued a statement from its chief lobbyist, Chris W. Cox, saying: “If the Obama administration attempts to deny millions of law-abiding citizens their constitutional rights by executive fiat, the NRA stands ready to pursue all available avenues to stop them in their tracks.” On April 23, 2015, Rep. Jeff Miller (R-FL) introduced a bill to change the VA’s gun policy. H.R. 2001, the Veterans Second Amendment Protection Act, would require a court to determine that somebody poses a danger before being reported to the background check system. The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Veterans Affairs.

University Of Texas Police Give Preacher Citation For Offending Students

It's illegal to offend people

Daily Caller | Peter Hasson - February 12, 2016

The University of Texas at Austin police department issued a disorderly conduct citation to an outdoor preacher on Tuesday after students complained that his message had offended them. The preacher, who was standing just off campus, recorded his interaction with several university police officers, who explained that it was illegal for him to offend the students. The preacher was an intern with Campus Ministry USA, an evangelical ministry organization that travels around college campuses loudly preaching their message. etc. and the news story continues..

Fresh fears over Cascadia fault: California is warned ‘the Big One’ could hit at any time causing more damage than San Andreas

The fault runs from Northern California to British Columbia

Magnitude 9 shaking could last anything from three to five minutes

Upward of 14,000 people dead in worst-case scenarios, 30,000 injured

Thousands left homeless and the region's economy setback for decades

By Ellie Zolfagharifard For Dailymail.com Published: 15:22 EST, 11 February 2016 | Updated: 15:47 EST, 11 February 2016

The San Andreas Fault in California has a quieter, far more dangerous cousin that could make itself known at any moment. Running from Northern California to British Columbia, the Cascadia subduction zone can deliver a quake that's many times stronger than San Andreas. And seismologists say a full rupture of a 650-mile-long offshore fault and an ensuing tsunami could come in our lifetime. 'Cascadia can make an earthquake almost 30 times more energetic than the San Andreas to start with,' Chris Goldfinger, a professor of geophysics at Oregon State University told CNN. 'Then it generates a tsunami at the same time, which the side-by-side motion of the San Andreas can't do'. The Cascadia could deliver a huge 9.0-magnitude quake and the shaking could last anything from three to five minutes, scientists claim. 'In this case, three minutes - and I've been in a 9 in Japan - three minutes is an eternity,' said Goldfinger. 'It is a very, very long time.' Goldfinger says we're lose bridges, highway routes and that the coast will probably be entirely closed down. As a result it would be difficult to get around, and rescue crews will be overwhelmed. Federal, state and military officials have been working together to draft plans to be followed when the 'Big One' happens.

Zika HOAX exposed by South American doctors: Brain deformations caused by larvicide chemical linked to Monsanto; GM mosquitoes a 'total failure'

Thursday, February 11, 2016 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

(NaturalNews) Despite all the public hoopla, all the cases of microcephaly being discovered in Brazil have never been scientifically linked to the Zika virus. A group of doctors from South America are now saying the brain deformations the world is witnessing are caused by the mass fumigation of low-income Brazilian people with a chemical larvicide, not by mosquitoes carrying the Zika virus. What we're seeing with the brain deformations of children, in other words, is more like the history of thalidomide, a prescription medicine given to pregnant women that caused children to be born with limbs missing. But the official narrative on all this is pushing a false link with Zika in order to justify more chemical fumigation, more vaccines and more genetically engineered mosquitoes. From the doctors at Red Universitaria de Ambiente y Salud (the Red University of Environment and Health), with h/t to GM Watch: (SOURCE document) A dramatic increase of congenital malformations, especially microcephaly in newborns, was detected and quickly linked to the Zika virus by the Brazilian Ministry of Health. However, they fail to recognise that in the area where most sick persons live, a chemical larvicide producing malformations in mosquitoes has been applied for 18 months, and that this poison (pyroproxyfen) is applied by the State on drinking water used by the affected population. It looks like the world's health authorities are using Zika virus mosquitoes as a cover story to conceal the damage caused by toxic chemicals manufactured by powerful globalist corporations. The larvicide sprayed in Brazil, for example, is called "pyriproxyfen," and it's manufactured by Sumitomo Chemical, a corporation known to be a "strategic partner" of Monsanto. The Argentinian doctors' report lists Sumitomo as a "subsidiary" of Monsanto. As GM Watch reports, "Pyriproxyfen is a growth inhibitor of mosquito larvae, which alters the development process from larva to pupa to adult, thus generating malformations in developing mosquitoes and killing or disabling them." Hmmm... a growth inhibitor of developing organisms? Does that raise any question marks with anyone when considering the under-developed cranial and neurological systems of the children being victimized in all this? From the report: Malformations detected in thousands of children from pregnant women living in areas where the Brazilian state added pyriproxyfen to drinking water is not a coincidence, even though the Ministry of Health places a direct blame on Zika virus for this damage, while trying to ignore its responsibility and ruling out the hypothesis of direct and cumulative chemical damage caused by years of endocrine and immunological disruption of the affected population. Doctors from the Brazilian Association for Collective Health (ABRASCO) demand that urgent epidemiological studies taking into account this causal link be carried out, especially when among 3,893 cases of malformations confirmed until January 20, 2016, 49 children have died and only five of them were confirmed to have been infected with Zika. Zika virus doesn't cause microcephaly! As reported by the Argentinian doctors in their report, Zika virus has never been known to cause brain deformations in children: Previous Zika epidemics did not cause birth defects in newborns, despite infecting 75% of the population in those countries. Also, in other countries such as Colombia there are no records of microcephaly; however, there are plenty of Zika cases. The entire reason these brain deformations are being blamed on the Zika virus, we're now learning, is so that powerful chemical companies can sell more toxic chemicals that poison the people and the environment even more! From the doctors' report: Brazilian doctors (Abrasco) are claiming that the strategy of chemical control is contaminating the environment as well as people, that it is not decreasing the amount of mosquitoes, and that this strategy is in fact a commercial manoeuvre from the chemical poisons industry, deeply integrated into Latin American ministries of health as well as WHO and PAHO. It's a vicious cycle, of course: The government sprays chemicals that cause brain deformations in children, but in order to avoid blaming the chemicals, they blame mosquitoes, thereby demanding MORE toxic chemicals be sprayed, causing yet more deformations that demand yet more chemicals and so on. If all this sounds familiar, it's because it's ripped right out of the playbook of the vaccine industry: Many vaccines actually cause epidemics (which is why children who are stricken with measles and mumps have almost always been previously vaccinated against measles and mumps), thereby increasing public demand for more vaccines which cause more outbreaks, ad infinitum. It's the perfect business model: When your product causes an epidemic of disease or birth defects, just find something else to blame and then pay off all the government health authorities to demand more of your product! After all, even the CDC loves these pandemics because it gives them an opportunity to exhibit more "authority" and push for more vaccines. Billions already pledged to the vaccine industry... even with no scientific evidence of a link Based entirely on fraudulent information and quack science, President Obama has now called for $1.8 billion in government handouts to vaccine companies and pharmaceutical corporations to combat Zika. Yet the linkage between Zika and microcephaly is nothing but an unproven, unscientific, mythological narrative dreamed up by the vaccine pushers. It carries the same scientific weight as saying "Black cats cause bad luck" or "Rubbing a rabbit's foot gives me good luck." Hence the term "vaccine voodoo" which is a technically accurate description of the total lack of science underpinning the fraudulent vaccine industry. Isn't it amazing how quickly the government, the media and the vaccine pushers have leaped to their preferred conclusion about microcephaly even without a shred of scientific evidence to support such a notion? (Hey, it's a pandemic... they don't need any real EVIDENCE, right?) Genetically engineered mosquitoes aren't working either When bad science and dangerous chemicals are already destroying people's lives, the solution must be MORE bad science, right? Enter genetically engineered mosquitoes. According to all the criminally insane GMO pushers, GM mosquitoes are the instant answer to mosquito-borne diseases (and nothing can ever go wrong, we're assured). The problem is that they're criminally insane and scientifically illiterate to boot. That's why the GM mosquitoes aren't working. "The last strategy deployed in Brazil, and which might be replicated in all our countries, is the use of GM mosquitoes -- a total failure, except for the company supplying mosquitoes," say the Argentinian doctors. The English company Oxitec sells male GM mosquitoes, supposedly in order to decrease the Aedes population. A lethal gene is inserted in those mosquitoes, which is transmitted to the offspring, causing death to larvae if it is not blocked by an antibiotic (tetracycline). Currently in Brazil nearly 15 million GM mosquitoes have been released, and the failure is complete. Where field tests were carried out, less than 15% of larvae were transgenic, that is to say... wild females are not accepting the English mosquito from Oxitec. The response: increasing the release in poor areas. Also, we must take into account that the biology of the disease shows that the female only "stings" when it's pregnant and generating eggs after being fertilised by a male; it does it in that state and only then, because it needs blood components in order to develop the eggs. So, if millions of male mosquitoes are released, there will be many more fertilised females looking to suck the blood of mammals, thus increasing the spreading of the disease from infected people to healthy people! A massive science hoax, vaccine hoax and chemical hoax all designed to generate more industry profits while ignoring the true causes of suffering in Brazilian children Once you put all the pieces of this puzzle together, it becomes crystal clear: The Zika virus narrative is a massive quack science hoax that's being pushed solely to sell more chemicals, more GM mosquitoes, more vaccines and more fumigation of the Brazilian population with deadly substances. The real cause of microcephaly is being systematically ignored, lending yet more support to the idea that this is all part of the population control agenda to poison the people of Brazil, deliberately reduce their offspring to mutants, increase abortions and demand that women no longer get pregnant. All the signs are there, folks. This is the Bill Gates human depopulation agenda in full swing, disguised as a mosquito virus outbreak. It's no mistake that the larvicide chemicals are being sprayed in the poorest areas of Brazil, targeting those very same populations that are now being told, "Don't have any more babies!"

Israel's Netanyahu defends gas deal in rare Supreme Court visit

JERUSALEM | By Steven Scheer

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Israel's top court on Sunday the country must forge ahead with developing a large natural gas field, with billions of dollars worth of potential exports, for both economic and security reasons. In an unusual step for an Israeli prime minister, Netanyahu testified, at his own request, in the Supreme Court to defend a framework gas deal after opposition parties and non-government organizations filed petitions to block plans to develop the Leviathan field off Israel's Mediterranean coast. Critics, including the anti-trust authority, have argued that planned control of the country's gas reserves by one consortium will limit competition and keep prices high. Under the deal, Texas-based Noble Energy and Israel's Delek Group, which discovered Leviathan in 2010, would retain control of the field but are being forced to sell other, smaller assets such as the nearby Tamar field that began production in 2013. Netanyahu argued the blueprint provided major opportunities for Israel's foreign relations and that any delay in its implementation could lead to the deal's collapse and cause "long-term significant damage" to the country's security and economy. etc. and the news story continues.

Israel fears Gaza 'tunnel' war waged by Hamas

Shira Rubin, Special for USA TODAY 6 a.m. EST February 14, 2016

KIBBUTZ NIR AM, Israel — The last Gaza war began in the air with rockets that Hamas militants fired at Israel. Now, Israelis living next door to the Palestinian territory see worrisome signs that the next war will be waged underground. They live above ground zero: Hamas appears to be building new tunnels under their feet to smuggle fighters into Israel to kill or kidnap residents. In response, the Israeli government is stepping up efforts — and developing secret high-tech methods — to detect and destroy the labyrinth of tunnels Hamas builds to circumvent a tight embargo that Israel and Egypt imposed around Gaza. Israel is "concentrating considerable engineering and intelligence efforts to combat this threat," Israeli military chief Gadi Eizenkot said Tuesday in Herzliya. The army also notified Kibbutz Nir Am residents that soldiers are on alert in the case of a surprise tunnel attack. Such assurances aren't calming the nerves of this community, located just over a mile from the Gaza border where several tunnels were discovered and destroyed during the 2014 war.

Cliff collapses after earthquake strikes near Christchurch, New Zealand

Posted 11:18 am, February 14, 2016, by CNN Wire

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand (CNN) -A 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck New Zealand with such force, it caused part of a cliff to collapse. About 150,000 to 200,000 people felt strong or very strong shaking, CNN meteorologist Derek Van Dam said. The quake was centered about 17 kilometers (10 miles) east of Christchurch, which suffered a catastrophic temblor in 2011 that killed at least 185 people. Almost exactly five years later, the quake Sunday caused a cliff to crumble near Taylor’s Mistake bay. Parts of the cliff retreated 5 meters (16 feet), geotechnical engineer Jan Kupec Linz told CNN affiliate TVNZ. Some narrowly escaped the collapse. “I’d taken five of my rookies to do some cliff work and some cliff jumping,” Craig Jamison, a member of the Taylor’s Mistake Surf Life Saving Club, told the affiliate “When I look up I see three of them standing in the cave, and then a whole sheet of rock fell down over them.” But they were lucky; no one was seriously injured. Elsewhere near Christchurch, the quake hurled items off store shelves. Heavy sport-utility vehicles shook like gelatin. “We’ve definitely had a spike in calls shortly after the quake involving what we call fainting type events, chest pain, shortness of breath and falls,” local ambulance manager Kerry Mitchell told TVNZ.

Hawaii governor signs emergency proclamation on Zika, other illnesses

Don Melvin is a newsdesk editor for CNN in London

By Don Melvin, CNN Updated 4:44 AM ET, Sat February 13, 2016 | Video Source: CNN

(CNN) The governor of Hawaii has signed an emergency proclamation regarding Zika and other mosquito-borne illnesses. Gov. David Ige signed the declaration Friday as "a preventative measure" to guard against Zika, dengue fever and other diseases, his office said in a statement. The action follows the recent decision by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to take emergency steps to prepare for and mitigate the Zika risk, the statement said. "There have been no locally acquired Zika cases in the U.S. or Hawaii, and we'd like to keep it that way," the new release quoted the governor as saying. "This is about getting in front of the situation across the state." However, there have been some cases of dengue fever on the island of Hawaii. The statement from the governor's office said such cases "continue to be fewer" and further between, but the battle to break the cycle of transmission continues. The Zika virus is prompting worldwide concern because of an alarming connection to a neurological birth disorder and its rapid spread across the globe. The World Health Organization described it as an "extraordinary event" while declaring a public health emergency this month.

DERANGED CENTRAL BANKERS BLOWING UP THE WORLD

Posted on 15th February 2016 by Administrator in Economy

2008 Crisis, Bear Stearns, Bernanke, CDS, Central Banks, China, Congress, consequences, Consumer debt, corporate CEOs, defaults, deficits, depression, Deutsche Bank, Energy, Federal Reserve, fiat currency, fractional reserve banking, GDP, Global debt, global wealth, Great Depression, IBM, Ivy League, Japan, John Hussman, Junk bonds, Keynesianism, macy's, Mainstream media, MBAs, McKinsey, Middle class, Muppets, negative interest rates, QE, Recession, Robert Louis Stevenson, S&P 500, Sanders, savers, senior citizens, stock buybacks, Stock market crash, Sweden, Trump, Wall Street banks, Yellen, ZIRP It is now self-evident to any sentient being (excludes CNBC shills, Wall Street shyster economists, and Keynesian loving politicians) the mountainous level of unpayable global debt is about to crash down like an avalanche upon hundreds of millions of willfully ignorant citizens who trusted their politician leaders and the central bankers who created the debt out of thin air. McKinsey produced a report last year showing the world had added $57 trillion of debt between 2008 and the 2nd quarter of 2014, with global debt to GDP reaching 286%. The global economy has only deteriorated since mid-2014, with politicians and central bankers accelerating the issuance of debt. These deranged psychopaths have added in excess of $70 trillion of debt in the last eight years, a 50% increase. With $142 trillion of global debt enough to collapse the global economy in 2008, only a lunatic would implement a “solution” that increased global debt to $212 trillion over the next seven years thinking that would solve a problem created by too much debt. The truth is, these central bankers and captured politicians knew this massive issuance of more unpayable debt wouldn’t solve anything. Their goal was to keep the global economy afloat so their banker owners and corporate masters would not have to accept the consequences of their criminal actions and could keep their pillaging of global wealth going unabated. The issuance of debt and easy money policies of the Fed and their foreign central banker co-conspirators functioned to drive equity prices to all-time highs in 2015, but the debt issuance and money printing needs to increase exponentially in order keep stock markets rising. Once the QE spigot was shut off markets have flattened and are now falling hard. You can sense the desperation among the financial elite. The desperation is borne out by the frantic reckless measures taken by central bankers and politicians since 2008.

637 rate cuts since Bear Stearns

$12.3 trillion of asset purchases by global central banks in the past 8 years

$8.3 trillion of global government debt currently yielding 0% or less

489 million people currently living in countries with official negative rates policies (i.e. Japan, Eurozone, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark)

-0.92%, the most negative yield in the world (2-year Swiss government bond)

Massive levels of debt and negative interest rates have done nothing to revive U.S., European or Asian economies. The natives are growing restless, as the early electoral success of political outsiders like Trump and Sanders substantiates. Far right parties in Europe are gaining traction as hordes of Muslim refugees overwhelm their countries. Central bankers, who formerly graced the covers of Time Magazine as saviors and heroes, are now being revealed as nothing more than glorified money printers with PhDs and no plan B. The trillions in low grade junk bonds are beginning to go bad. The bond market is the canary in the coalmine. A tsunami of defaults is approaching the shoreline, investors are running for the hills, and deranged central bankers are telling people to come a see the colorful shells in the surf. As John Hussman points out, following their advice will be fatal. Despite short-term interest rates being only a whisper above zero, we increasingly hear assertions that “financial conditions have tightened.” Now, understand that the reason they’ve “tightened” is that low-grade borrowers were able to issue a mountain of sketchy debt to yield-seeking speculators in recent years, encouraged by the Federal Reserve’s deranged program of quantitative easing, and that debt is beginning to be recognized as such. As default risk emerges and investors become more risk-averse, low-grade credit has weakened markedly. The correct conclusion to draw is that the consequences of misguided policies are predictably coming home to roost. But in the labyrinth of theoretically appealing but factually baseless notions that fill the minds of contemporary central bankers, the immediate temptation is to consider a return to the same misguided policies that got us here in the first place, just more aggressively. Based on the CDS market, fear is rising rapidly and European bank stocks are collapsing faster than they did in 2008. The Too Big To Trust Wall Street banks have seen their stocks fall 25% thus far. Bank debt has fallen even faster. The lying and denials by bank CEOs sounds exactly like the summer of 2008. The most smoke is coming from Deutsche Bank, and where there’s smoke there’s fire. The papering over of billions in bad debt with more bad debt is reaching its logical and expected disastrous conclusion. John Hussman notes when credit default swaps soar, the massive level of defaults are only a quarter or two away, despite the propaganda and lies perpetuated by Wall Street to cover their asses as they scramble to escape again. Credit default swaps continued to soar last week, particularly among European banks. Given that risks surrounding China and the energy sector are widely discussed, European banks continue to have my vote for “most likely crisis from left field.” In the fixed income market, we wouldn’t touch low-grade credit at present. Once credit spreads widen sharply, the default cycle tends to kick in several quarters later. The present situation is much like what we observed in early 2008, when we argued that it was impossible for financial companies to simply “come clean” about bad debts, because then as now, the bulk of the defaults were still to come. The mainstream corporate media has been assuring the masses the recent 10% to 20% plunge in stock market indexes is just a temporary hiccup and isn’t anything like the 2008 worldwide financial collapse. They’re right. The situation today is far more dire and widespread than it was in 2008. Global debt is 50% higher, rates are at zero or below, the global economy is already in recession, with war and civil chaos spreading around the globe. There are no more rabbits for central bankers to pull out of their hats. U.S. annual deficits are headed to $1 trillion without Keynesian shovel ready stimulus packages. The Fed increased their balance sheet fivefold while creating speculative bubbles in stocks, bonds and real estate simultaneously. As John Hussman points out, the bubbles are bursting again and economic collapse is baked in the cake. The Fed’s real policy error, as it was during the housing bubble, was to hold interest rates so low for so long in the first place, encouraging years of yield-seeking speculation and malinvestment by doing so. Put simply, the Federal Reserve has created the third speculative bubble in 15 years in return for real economic improvements that amount to literally a fraction of 1% from where we would otherwise have been. The entire global economy seems condemned to repeatedly suffer from deranged central bankers that wholly disregard the weak effect size of monetary policy on policy targets like employment and inflation, and equally disregard their responsibility for the disruptive economic collapses that have followed on the heels of Fed-induced yield-seeking speculation. This stock market crash in progress is following the exact pattern exhibited in prior crash periods. The market has gone nowhere since QE3 ceased and had fallen by 14% since November. The tremendous rally on Friday is nothing but the beginning of a 5% to 8% retracement of the initial loss. Once this head fake lures in more muppets, the bottom will drop out. As Hussman discusses below this crash is following the 2000 and 2007 pattern. When the 1,800 level is breached a vertical drop to the 1,500’s will happen in the blink of an eye. That will get the attention of a few 401k holders. With regard to the stock market, I suspect that the first event in the completion of the current market cycle may be a vertical loss that would put the S&P 500 in the mid-1500’s in short order. I’ve often noted the historical signature of market crashes: a sustained period of overvalued, overbought, overbullish conditions that is then coupled with a clear deterioration in market internals and hostile yield trends, particularly in the form of widening credit spreads. See my comments from the 2000 and 2007 market peaks about the identical syndrome at those points. Historically, what we know as “crashes” have followed only after a compressed, initial market loss on the order of about 14%, a recovery that retraces 1/3 to 2/3 of the initial decline; and finally a break below that initial low. That threshold is currently best delineated by the 1800-1820 level on the S&P 500. Not only have deranged central bankers created the conditions for a catastrophic collapse, but they have encouraged crazed sociopathic mega-corp CEOs to borrow billions to buy back their own stocks at all-time high prices. These Ivy League educated MBA lemmings have done this to boost their compensation because they are too incompetent to grow their businesses through true investment. These rocket scientists have managed to lose $126 billion on their highly leveraged stock purchases in the past three years. Some of the top losers include: IBM – $9.8 billion of losses American Express – $4.1 billion of losses Chevron – $2.8 billion of losses Macy’s – $1.5 billion of losses Ford – $500 million of losses Starwood Resorts – $500 million of losses The CEOs of these companies should be fired for their idiocy, greed and ineptitude. Instead they will receive multi-million dollar bonuses. Ben Bernanke, Janet Yellen and their cohorts at the Federal Reserve have already destroyed the lives of millions of senior citizens and savers with their deranged zero interest rate policy while contributing to the wage stagnation of the middle class with their QE policy. Janet Yellen looked like a deer in headlights last week while testifying before Congress. She realizes, along with the other central bankers around the world, their Keynesian lunacy is about to create a crisis that will make 2008 seem like a walk in the park. The coming destruction of trillions in wealth ($1.2 trillion already), along with the accelerating currency wars, and the further impoverishment of billions will ultimately lead to global war. In short, what we should fear is not the slight impact of recent policy normalizations, but the violent, delayed, yet inevitable consequences of years of speculative distortions that are already fully baked in the cake. What we should fear are the Fed’s repeated and deranged attempts to achieve weak effects on the real economy, at the cost of speculative distortions that exact ten times the damage when they unwind. What we should fear is more of the same Fed recklessness that encouraged a yield-seeking bubble in mortgage debt, enabling a housing bubble that collapsed to create the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. What we should fear is Fed policy that has encouraged a yield-seeking bubble in equities, debt-financed stock repurchases, and covenant-lite junk debt; that has carried capitalization-weighted valuations to the second greatest extreme in history other than the 2000 peak, and median equity valuations to the highest level ever recorded. That’s exactly what the Fed has done in recent years, and the cost of that unwinding is still ahead. The fiat currency system, fractional reserve banking fraud, insane Keynesian fiscal policies, and consumer debt based consumption economy are mathematically unsustainable, so they won’t be sustained. The world is about to sit down to a banquet of consequences, served by deranged central bankers.

How Republics Perish

Friday - February 12, 2016 at 5:20 pm By Patrick J. Buchanan

If you believed America’s longest war, in Afghanistan, was coming to an end, be advised: It is not. Departing U.S. commander Gen. John Campbell says there will need to be U.S. boots on the ground “for years to come.” Making good on President Obama’s commitment to remove all U.S. forces by next January, said Campbell, “would put the whole mission at risk.” “Afghanistan has not achieved an enduring level of security and stability that justifies a reduction of our support. … 2016 could be no better and possibly worse than 2015.” Translation: A U.S. withdrawal would risk a Taliban takeover with Kabul becoming the new Saigon and our Afghan friends massacred. Fifteen years in, and we are stuck. Nor is America about to end the next longest war in its history: Iraq. Defense Secretary Ash Carter plans to send units of the 101st Airborne back to Iraq to join the 4,000 Americans now fighting there, “ISIS is a cancer,” says Carter. After we cut out the “parent tumor” in Mosul and Raqqa, we will go after the smaller tumors across the Islamic world. When can Mosul be retaken? “Certainly not this year,” says the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Lt. Gen. Vincent Stewart. Vladimir Putin’s plunge into the Syrian civil war with air power appears to have turned the tide in favor of Bashar Assad. The “moderate” rebels are being driven out of Aleppo and tens of thousands of refugees are streaming toward the Turkish border. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is said to be enraged with the U.S. for collaborating with Syrian Kurds against ISIS and with Obama’s failure to follow through on his dictate — “Assad must go!” There is thus no end in sight to the U.S. wars in Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq, nor to the U.S.-backed Saudi war in Yemen, where ISIS and al-Qaida have re-arisen in the chaos. Indeed, the West is mulling over military intervention in Libya to crush ISIS there and halt the refugee flood into Europe. Yet, despite America’s being tied down in wars from the Maghreb to Afghanistan, not one of these wars were among the three greatest threats identified last summer by Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, the new chairman of the Joint Chiefs. “Russia presents the greatest threat to our national security” said Dunford, “If you want to talk about a nation that could pose an existential threat to the United States, I would have to point to Russia … if you look at their behavior, it’s nothing short of alarming.” Dunford agreed with John McCain that we ought to provide anti-tank weapons and artillery to Ukraine, for, without it, “they’re not going to be able to protect themselves against Russian aggression.” But what would we do if Putin responded by sending Russian troops to occupy Mariupol and build a land bridge to Crimea? Send U.S. troops to retake Mariupol? Are we really ready to fight Russia? The new forces NATO is moving into the Baltic suggests we are. Undeniably, disputes have arisen between Russia, and Ukraine and Georgia which seceded in 1991, over territory. But, also undeniably, many Russians in the 14 nations that seceded, including the Baltic states, never wanted to leave and wish to rejoin Mother Russia. How do these tribal and territorial conflicts in the far east of Europe so threaten us that U.S. generals are declaring that “Russia presents the greatest threat to our national security”? Asked to name other threats to the United States, Gen. Dunford listed them in this order: China, North Korea, ISIS. But while Beijing is involved in disputes with Hanoi over the Paracels, with the Philippines over the Spratlys, with Japan over the Senkakus — almost all of these being uninhabited rocks and reefs — how does China threaten the United States? America is creeping ever closer to war with the other two great nuclear powers because we have made their quarrels our quarrels, though at issue are tracts and bits of land of no vital interest to us. North Korea, which just tested another atomic device and long-range missile, is indeed a threat to us. But why are U.S. forces still up the DMZ, 62 years after the Korean War? Is South Korea, with an economy 40 times that of the North and twice the population, incapable of defending itself? Apparently slipping in the rankings as a threat to the United States is that runaway favorite of recent years, Iran. Last fall, though, Sen. Ted Cruz reassured us that “the single biggest national security threat facing America right now is the threat of a nuclear Iran.” “Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded,” wrote James Madison, “No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.” Perhaps Madison was wrong. Otherwise, with no end to war on America’s horizon, the prospect of this free republic enduring is, well, doubtful.

Supermarket giant Coles has stunned shoppers with an advertisement for their credit card that features a male model who bears a striking resemblance to Adolf Hitler. A customer was checking out at a Coles store in Northland, Melbourne, when they snapped an image of the promotion. It features a male model pointing to a sign describing the 9.9 percent interest rate for the Coles credit card. The man has brown hair slicked to one side and a prominent moustache that resembles the signature facial hair of the German dictator. The image has been seen more than 30,000 times on social media and Reddit users agreed that the man reminded them strongly of Hitler. ‘Nein Nein Nein %,’ one person commented referencing the credit card’s rates. ‘Oh Mein Fuhrer,’ another said. ‘Excuse me, where can I find the juice isle? On the third right!!!’ a person joked. Numerous people were horrified by the similarities and also jested that hipsters are ‘one step away from being Hitler.'

Venezuela Is Out of Food: Here’s What an Economic Collapse Really Looks Like

February 14, 2016 By Daisy Luther

Venezuela is out of food. After several years of long lines, rationing, and shortages, the socialist country does not have enough food to feed its population, and the opposition government has declared a “nutritional emergency.” This is just the most recent nail in the beleaguered country’s slow, painful economic collapse. Many people expect an economic collapse to be shocking, instant, and dramatic but, really, it’s far more gradual than that. It looks like empty shelves, long lines, desperate government officials trying to cover their tushes, and hungry people. For the past two years, I’ve been following the situation in Venezuela as each shocking event has unfolded. Americans who feel that our country would be better served by a socialist government would be wise to take note of this timeline of the collapse. A quick review: Why Venezuela Is Out of Food In 2013, many began to suspect that the outlook for Venezuela was grim when prepping became illegal. The Attorney General of Venezuela, Luisa Ortega Díaz, called on prosecutors to target people who are “hoarding” basic staples with serious sanctions. Shortly thereafter, grocery stores instituted a fingerprint registry to purchase food and supplies. Families had to register and were allotted a certain amount of supplies to prevent “hoarding.” Then, just over a year ago, it became even more apparent that the country was falling when long lines for basic necessities such as laundry soap, diapers, and food became the norm rather than the exception. Thousands of people were standing in line for 5-6 hours in the hopes that they would be able to purchase a few much-needed items. Shortly after the story broke to the rest of the world, the propaganda machine shifted into high gear. As the government began to ration electricity, it was announced that this was not due to economic reasons at all, but instead was a measure of their great concern for the environment. As the situation continued to devolve, farmers in Venezuela were forced to hand over their crops last summer. They assumed control of essential goods like food, and began putting retail outlets out of business. Then, once they had control of the sales outlets, they began forcing farmers and food manufacturers to sell anywhere from 30-100% of their products to the state at the price the state opted to pay, as opposed to stores and supermarkets. But that wasn’t enough to keep the population fed. (Isn’t it astonishing how much less motivated people are to produce food and supplies when they are no longer allowed to benefit from their hard work? Historically, collectivism and farming have never gone successfully hand in hand.) This January, the government told citizens that they would need to produce their own food. The Ministry of Urban Farming was created to oversee this. While self-reliance sounds great, it isn’t so great in Venezuela. Just so the urban farmers don’t get too self-reliant, a registry of the crops and livestock will be required. (And obviously, they’ve already proven that they have no issue forcing farmers to hand over what they’ve produced.) Now, it looks like all of the socialist measures and forced food production haven’t been enough to keep the people of Venezuela fed. The country is in so much trouble now that it isn’t possible to cover it up with propaganda. According to Breitbart.com, lawmakers have learned nothing. Socialist legislators are hoping to manipulate the initiative in the other direction, and use it to expand government control of private food enterprises. Legislator Héctor Rodríguez has insisted that the economic emergency “does absolutely nothing,” and the government should impose itself on private enterprises. Another socialist legislator, Ricardo Molina, is calling for the government to expropriate Polar, Venezuela’s largest private food corporation: “we have to intervene on private sector enterprises.” Venezuela previously forced a Polar food distribution center in Caracas to shut down in July, putting 12,000 tons of food, six million liters of soft drinks, and 2,000 jobs at risk. And now, the announcement of the “nutritional emergency” makes it official. Venezuela is out of food, and it’s only a matter of time before Venezuelans are quite literally starving due to a long series of terrible decisions by their leaders. Prep before it happens It’s essential to note as this all plays out that there is little people can do now to rectify their situations. If they aren’t already quietly prepared, they are completely at the mercy of their socialist government. It is absolutely vital to put back supplies well before the general public is aware that a crisis is pending. As well, consider the fact that many folks here believe that a socialist government is exactly what our country needs. They eagerly lap up the promises of “free education” and “free healthcare.” They warmly embrace a presidential candidate who is an unabashed socialist. It absolutely astonishes me. They’d be well-advised to pay attention to how well the freebies have worked out in Venezuela. Socialism is not a sustainable economic model, something that has been proven time and time again, much to the detriment of the victims of the misguided notions. The game pieces here are already lined up to control the American people should our economic situation continue to worsen. For example, there are already laws in place to “prevent hoarding.” Remember a few years ago when President Obama signed an executive order that gives the federal government authority over every resource and infrastructure element in the United States? There are a lot of uncomfortable parallels that can be drawn between America’s financial situation and the disaster in Venezuela, and one thing is clear: self-sufficiency is the only way to protect your family. Even if you haven’t really begun to prepare, there’s still time to become more self-reliant. Here are some steps you should consider: Build your pantry: Start purchasing a few extra things every week to build up a food supply to see you through some rough spots. Create a pantry full of healthful, nutritious foods for your family, even if you’re on a budget. (Click HERE to learn how.) Learn to grow/raise your own food: If you aren’t already growing some of your own food, it’s time to start. While many people believe that they can easily begin farming after the SHTF, it’s not always quite like you may have imagined. Work out the bugs now so that when you are truly reliant on what you raise, you’ll be more likely to be successful. This can be done even on a lot in town – click HERE to learn how. Stock up on non-food supplies too: It isn’t just food that is in short supply in Venezuela. Be sure you stock up on other necessities too. Here’s a list of non-food items you can stockpile. And if you don’t have a huge budget, don’t worry. Here’s another list of items you can get very inexpensively. Purchase an emergency food supply: Stock up on long-term storable food that you can stash away. These are the supplies you will rely on if the stores close, and purchasing buckets is the very fastest way to build a food supply when time is of the essence. They are packaged so that you can put them in a storage area and forget them until the day comes that you need them. Add a bucket or two every month to build your supply on a budget, or purchase in quantity to save money and have your supply instantly. It is vital to practice OPSEC (Operational Security) by keeping your preparedness-related activities on the down low. Preparedness and self-sufficiency author Tess Pennington warns that in a crisis situation, things you said months or years ago could come back to haunt you. A person should think twice about telling others about any prepping investments they have made. If a SHTF scenario occurred, anything said previously can be used against that prepper. For example, if you tell your neighbor you have silver coins stashed away, if times were desperate enough, that neighbor could turn on you. Keeping quiet about what one does is second nature to some. But for others that are new to the idea of prepping, they do not see the whole SHTF picture. If one person tells another about their preps, one person could tell another person about what preps their neighbor has. Then, the word spreads throughout; especially when a severe situation occurs. People will remember what you have told them, and come to you for help (if they are unprepared). Helping a neighbor or family member in need is a noble deed. However, those preparedness items are an investment for you and your family; and therefore, no one outside of the family should know what you have (unless you want that person to know). (source) As people become more desperate, they behave far differently than they would in normal circumstances. You have to be prepared for the day when you might have to defend your home, family and supplies. When an economic disaster strikes, the one thing you can count on from the government is that they will not be prioritizing you and your family. In a situation like the one in Venezuela, you will be completely on your own at best. At worst, your supplies will be targeted “for the greater good.” Maintain your freedom by becoming quietly self-sufficient. etc. and the news story continues..

America Is On the Verge of Mass Starvation

15 Feb, 2016 by Dave Hodges

There is a very dangerous trend in America and it could literally threaten the lives of every single American in the near future. America is presently on a deliberate course to follow in the footsteps of Venezuela. America Has Been Down The Starvation Road Before An estimated seven million people starved to death during the Great Depression. And amazingly, these people had food preparation skills that are basically a lost art in America today (e.g. canning). These are skills that Americans no longer possess. Our collective food preparation skills consists of making sure we have enough gas to get to and from the grocery store. With a staggering debt looming over the country, how vulnerable are Americans to starvation if and when an economic collapse takes down our economy? It is not a secret that the world is in a desperate situation when it comes to overall world hunger. In the last year I was able to find statistics, the World Bank cites the disturbing fact that there have been 51 food riots in 37 countries in recent memory due to high food prices and the further escalation of food prices has no end in sight. The World Bank further speculates that the present state of food prices could lead to political instability and this is the kind of stuff that wars are made of. And what is the number one cause of rising food prices according to the World Bank? It is the increasing demand (see attached PDF) for food from a growing population inside of China. The future military implications should be self-evident where hungry nations invade less hungry nations. But what about the United States? How vulnerable are Americans to the possibility of mass starvation? A Snapshot of America’s Food Vulnerability Almost beyond belief, a full 79 percent of the people that use food banks purchase typically buy cheap, unhealthy food and still just have enough to feed their children. The price of food continues to quickly out-pace the paychecks of most middle class families. For example, the average price of ground beef has just hit a brand new all-time record high. There are nearly 50 million Americans that are dealing with food insecurity in various degrees of distress. Just over one out of seven Americans rely on obtaining food from various banks at one point or another and these food banks are beginning to experience record shortages. In a case of “defend the nation and starve”, military families are feeling even more stress from not being able to obtain sufficient quantities of food as 25% of America military families require outside assistance in getting enough to eat. What does this say about an administration which uses our soldiers to defend the nation and then kicks them to the curb by denying their VA health benefits as the government also starves their families because they cannot survive on what we pay our soldiers? This is disgraceful, but this represents Obama’s fundamental transformation of American way! According to the New York Times, the typical American family is now worth 36% less than it was worth only 12 years ago! Shockingly, one out of every six men, ranging in ages from 25 to 54, are not employed. Median family income in the United States is 7% lower than it was in 2000. The United States is now in 19th place in the world and falling. There is no way that the majority of American families can keep pace with food inflation as the wages of Americans are now inversely correlated with the rising food prices. This is a prescription for disaster. The most vulnerable to starvation within the present economic climate are the children as an amazing twenty six percent of all children are living below the poverty level. And we certainly cannot ignore the fact that 50 million Americans are on some form of Federal Food Stamps. With these kind of distressing statistics, a significant number of Americans are vulnerable to politically motivated “food blackmail” in these times of economic distress. Just how many Americans are vulnerable to “blackmail by starvation”? Nobody can be totally accurate in the estimation, however, the numbers listed in the above paragraphs provide a good starting point from which to estimate the risk. Disruption to Transportation Would Prove Catastrophic The critical element which could most impact the number of Americans who would vulnerable to starvation has to do with disruptions in our transportation system. For the purpose of efficiency and to maximize profits “Just in time (JIT)” food deliveries take place at grocery outlets several times per day. Without these JIT deliveries, we would see immediate shortages occurring on day one of any disruption to the delivery of our food to its final destination. Although, about 10% of all Americans live near substantial food supplies, my previous investigations have revealed the fact that transportation disruption would be life-threatening to most Americans and the effects would be realized within two days. Most Americans are, at most, nine meals away starvation, which is the amount of food that the average person has stored according to FEMA. The Obama Administration Makes a Bad Situation Worse The BLM have been busy trying to illegally seize every farm and every ranch that it can in the west. At one time, I wrote that out of 52 ranchers who lived and operated near Cliven Bundy’s ranch, 51 of these ranchers were forced to move off of their lands. Now, with Cliven Bundy’s arrest, the number has dropped to 52 out of 52 as the Bundy’s will no doubt be forced to sell with most of the Bundy males sitting in jail without the possibility of making bail. Why does the BLM and its first cousins at the EPA want to drive farmers and ranchers off of their land. To get a clearer picture of this issue, let’s take a brief look at Executive Order 13603. With the stroke of his pen, Obama has total and absolute control over all food where his EO 13603 states: 1. e) “Food resources” means all commodities and products, (simple, mixed, or compound), or complements to such commodities or products, that are capable of being ingested by either human beings or animals, irrespective of other uses to which such commodities or products may be put, at all stages of processing from the raw commodity to the products thereof in vendible form for human or animal consumption. “Food resources” also means potable water packaged in commercially marketable containers, all starches, sugars, vegetable and animal or marine fats and oils, seed, cotton, hemp, and flax fiber, but does not mean any such material after it loses its identity as an agricultural commodity or agricultural product. (f) “Food resource facilities” means plants, machinery, vehicles (including on farm), and other facilities required for the production, processing, distribution, and storage (including cold storage) of food resources, and for the domestic distribution of farm equipment and fertilizer…” Conclusion These mandates arising out of Executive Order 13603 is EXACTLY what is happening in Venezuela. It is not a case of “kinda, sorta, could be”, it is a case of this is EXACTLY what is happening right now in Venezuela. In tomorrow’s article, I will draw the unmistakable parallels between the mass starvation that is just beginning to happen in the United States right now. While you are waiting for tomorrow’s article, please allow me to leave you with teaser #1. The Baltic Dry Index (BDI), is the most accurate measure of how many “dry” products are being shipped around the world. The BDI, once over 5,000, has now declined to a record low of under 300. One of the major contributors to the crisis is that oil is approaching historical lows. Middle men, who ship products, need a stable oil price in order to profit from their role as distributor. When the price of oil sinks far enough, it is not longer profitable to ship anything, including food! We are quickly approaching this point inside the United States. IF you think that this information is highly disturbing, and it is, as the facts in this article are a story unto itself. However, this piece is merely a set up article for what will be revealed tomorrow. Teaser #2 has to do with the coincidental death of Justice Scalia. I find myself in absolute agreement with World Net Daily in that the timing of Scalia’s death is high suspicious and the circumstantial variables swirling around Scalia’s unexpected death could very easily relate back to these very issues.

The Elite’s Final War Before New World Order

Posted on February 15, 2016 Written by Amy S.

In this interview, Dr. Tarpley reviews the writings of John P. Holdren, the current White House science advisor. This interview conclusively exposes scientific elite’s true agenda, world-wide genocide and the formation of a global government to rule. World-renowned libertarian Lew Rockwell, the co-founder of the Mises Institute and Ron Paul’s former congressional chief of staff, joins the show today to discuss the the plan to start world war 3 by the elite. Historian and author Webster Tarpley exposes how White House science czar John P. Holdren, who infamously co-wrote a 1977 textbook in which he advocated the formation of a “planetary regime” that would use a “global police force” to enforce totalitarian measures of population control, including forced abortions, mass sterilization programs conducted via the food and water supply, as well as mandatory bodily implants that would prevent couples from having children, is a Malthusian fanatic in the tradition of the arcane anti-human ideology that originated amongst British aristocracy in the 19th century. Holdren calls himself a “neo-Malthusian” in his own book, and as Tarpley explains, is a historical pessimist who has rejected the idea that America and humanity as a whole can progress through ingenuity, industry and economic growth. Instead, Holdren sees humankind as a cancer upon the earth. Holdren wants to set up a “Science Court,” where potential developments could be blocked by government decree if they don’t conform to the planned society necessary under Holdren’s “planetary regime”. He also seeks to institute “de-development” worldwide to prevent the third world from ever lifting itself out of poverty and roll things back to “pre-industrial civilization” where average life spans would not be much more than 30 years. Holdren’s co-author, Paul Ehrlich, is a discredited crank who wrote books in the 70’s claiming that England would not exist as a land mass by the year 2000 because of climate change. As Tarpley explains, Ehrlich’s warning of a “population bomb” has proven incorrect, with population in Europe, Japan and the United States falling when immigration is removed from the equation. “Do you trust the federal government to make the Internet ecosystem more vibrant than it is today?” FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai stated, who broke rank to oppose the proposed regulations. “Can you think of any regulated utility like the electric company or water company that is as innovative as the Internet?” Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler is refusing to appear before Congress as the FCC prepares a regulatory Internet takeover. For the New World Order, a world government is just the beginning. Once in place they can engage their plan to exterminate 80% of the world’s population, while enabling the elites to live forever with the aid of advanced technology. For the first time, crusading filmmaker Alex Jones reveals their secret plan for humanity’s extermination: Operation END GAME. The history of the global elite’s bloody rise to power and reveals how they have funded dictators and financed the bloodiest wars – creating order out of chaos to pave the way for the first true world empire. Bilderberg Group to Ottawa and Istanbul to document their secret summits, allowing you to witness global kingpins setting the world’s agenda and instigating World War III Learn about the formation of the North America transportation control grid, which will end U.S. sovereignty forever Discover how the practitioners of the pseudo-science eugenics have taken control of governments worldwide as a means to carry out depopulation View the progress of the coming collapse of the United States and the formation of the North American Union. The following are excerpts of Putin’s speech was directed at Western elites. “Russia will no longer play games with the United States and engage in back-room negotiations… Russia is prepared for serious agreements, but only if these agreements are conducive to collective security… All systems of global collective security now lie in ruins. There are no longer any international security guarantees at all and the party responsible for the destruction of global collective security is The United States of America… …The builders of the New World Order have failed by having built a sand castle…Russia favors a conservative approach to introducing innovations into the social order, but is not opposed to investigating and discussing such innovations, to see if introducing any of them might be justified… …Russia has no intention of building an empire of their own, but will not go fishing in the murky waters created by America’s ever-expanding “empire of chaos… …Russia’s challenges lie in developing her already vast territory…Russia will not attempt to reformat the world in her own image, but neither will she allow anyone to reformat her in their image. Russia will not close herself off from the world, but anyone who tries to close her off from the world will be sure to reap a whirlwind. Neither is Russia willing to act as a savior of the world, as she has in the past… …Russia does not wish for the chaos to spread, does not want war, and has no intention of starting one. However, today Russia sees the outbreak of global war as almost inevitable, is prepared for it, and is continuing to prepare for it. Russia does not war, nor does she fear it… …Russia does not intend to take an active role in thwarting those who are still attempting to construct their New World Order, however, Russia will oppose their efforts if they begin to impinge on Russia’s key interests. Russia would prefer to stand by and watch them give themselves as many lumps as their poor heads can take. But those who manage to drag Russia into this process, through disregard for her interests, will be taught the true meaning of pain… …Russia’s will rely not on the elites to set the tone for the future, and these decisions will result from the will of the people… Conclusion The United States would be wise to prepare in kind. Is anyone else concerned that our first and last line of defense is Barack “let’s play nine” Obama? Putin has warned that “I want to remind you that Russia is one of the most powerful nuclear nations,” Putin said. “This is a reality, not just words.” “War and famine would not do. Instead, disease offered the most efficient and fastest way to kill the billions that must soon die if the population crisis is to be solved. AIDS is not an efficient killer because it is too slow. My favorite candidate for eliminating 90 percent of the world’s population is airborne Ebola (Ebola Reston), because it is both highly lethal and it kills in days, instead of years. We’ve got airborne diseases with 90 percent mortality in humans. Killing humans. Think about that. You know, the bird flu’s good, too. For everyone who survives, he will have to bury nine.” – Dr. Eric Pianka University of Texas evolutionary ecologist, recommending solutions for reducing the world’s population to an audience on population control.

Dems in Senate passed a resolution in 1960 against election year Supreme Court appointments

February 14, 2016 By Thomas Lifson

Read it and weep, Democrats. The shoe is on the other foot. David Bernstein at the Washington Post’s Volokh Conspiracy blog: Thanks to a VC commenter, I discovered that in August 1960, the Democrat-controlled Senate passed a resolution, S.RES. 334, “Expressing the sense of the Senate that the president should not make recess appointments to the Supreme Court, except to prevent or end a breakdown in the administration of the Court’s business.” Each of President Eisenhower’s SCOTUS appointments had initially been a recess appointment who was later confirmed by the Senate, and the Democrats were apparently concerned that Ike would try to fill any last-minute vacancy that might arise with a recess appointment. The GOP opposed this, of course. Hypocrisy goes two ways. But the majority won. As it should this time.

'They Killed Judge Scalia!' Reports 2nd Amendment Now In Jeopardy - When 'Conspiracy Theories' Are Proven True, Are They Still 'Conspiracy Theories'?

February 14, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

Soon after the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, 'conspiracy theorists' and those who like to dig deeply into finding out truth began asking who would benefit the most by the Judge's death and as our videographers point out in the 1st two videos below, there are an awful lot of legitimate questions surrounding Justice Scalia's death. Why would his death have been ruled 'natural' hours later, prior to any autopsy being done? Was Scalia assassinated as our videographers argue? We are told that crimes are solved by asking 'who benefits the most' and 'who had a motive'? Clearly, the Obama administration had a motive AND benefits the most from Scalia's death. Was the death of Judge Scalia a 'message to others' that 'we can get you too'? According to the new SQAlert republished directly below, there is something terribly wrong with this picture.:

OBSERVATIONS ON JUDGE SCALIA'S MURDER,FROM AN INTERCESSOR--THIS WAS A MESSAGE TO OTHERS: WE CAN GET TO YOU STEVE, I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING MORE WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE:

THE PILLOW WAS LEFT OVER SCALIA'S HEAD. ANYONE WANTING TO COVER UP THIS CRIME WOULD HAVE REMOVED IT. AND HIS HANDS LOOKED PEACEFUL, LIKE THERE WAS NO STRUGGLE. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT SOMEONE PUT THEM THIS WAY ONCE SCALIA WAS DEAD, AND MAY ALSO HAVE STRAIGHTENED THE BED.

. IT MAY BE THE REASON THAT HIS FAMILY IS NOT INSISTING ON AN AUTOPSY.ONE MORE THING ON THIS DEATH IS NEVER AS CLEAN AS THE PICTURE SOMEONE TRIED TO GIVE THE PUBLIC. HANDS ALMOST FOLDED, SHEETS NOT RUMPLED, GIVE ME A BREAK! IS THERE ANYONE WHO GOES TO BED AND SLEEPS LIKE THAT, WITH UNRUMPLED SHEETS? PICTURE IS WAY TOO CLEAN TO BE REAL! Major Update: Scalia Found With Pillow Over Head! As was quickly pointed out by Matt Drudge on the Drudge Report, an entire slew of cases with conservative causes that were to be argued before the court this year including immigration, 2nd Amendment Rights and abortion may now turn against conservatives with the death of Scalia. Could the assassination of 'Constitutionalist' Scalia be what helps the globalists ensure the completion of their 'new world order' and the long-planned overthrow of America? The National Rifle Association has come out since Scalia's death to warn that the 2nd Amendment is now in danger. With Barack Obama reportedly willing to spend billions of dollars in 2017 to take away Americans rights we have to ask, did the Obama administration have Judge Scalia killed? It surely wouldn't be the 1st time govt had political oppostion killed. This death has 'targeted murder' written all over it and many who remember the murder of Andrew Breitbart, likely via the CIA's 'heart attack gun' which leaves the death appearing 'natural', agree that Scalia's murder may have been carried out in the same manner. Was the murder of Scalia one of the next moves necessary by this administration to ensure they'll be able to confiscate firearms from all 50 states and institute martial law and their 'new world order' in 2016? For those who are not yet aware of the CIA's heart attack gun, the 3rd video below will bring you up to speed. Was Scalia 'eliminated' by a covert operation originiating within the Obama administration due to the power that he held in his position within the US Supreme Court that he could have used to help shut down Obama's push to overthrow America? If what were once called 'conspiracy theories' are proven true, are they still 'conspiracy theories'? The final video below takes a look at 50 recent 'conspiracies' that have been proven based upon facts, eyewitness testimonies, classified documents and government and independent investigations. Focusing on events such as the 1999 'shoot down' of a plane with John Kennedy Jr. in it to help ensure a Hillary Clinton NY Senate seat, this video is not for everyone and clearly helps to prove what 'criminals within govt' don't want us to know. While we do not have proof that Mr. Scalia was assassinated by Obama's goon squad, we have to ask these questions again, why was this labeled a 'natural death' prior to an autopsy being done? Who stands to benefit the most from his untimely death? Was Scalia 'eliminated' because he stood in between Obama's goals for an America w/o a Constitution, w/o 2nd Amendment Rights, w/o rights for the unborn? What would have an 'alive' Justice Scalia have been able to accomplish against the Obama administrations continued push to allow illegal aliens, members of ISIS and other mass-murdering criminals into America? In the 3rd video below, we learn all about the CIA's 'heart attack gun' that allows them to kill anybody without being detected. How many more Andrew Breitbart's and Judge Antonin Scalia's are there out there who have been 'taken out' by corrupt and criminal members of our own government? If the death of Antonin Scalia is any indication of the way America dies, America, too, dies 'deep in slumber'.

Rest in Peace US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

Antonin Scalia found dead with pillow over his head, Justice decides against autopsy without seeing body!

Mainstream media already attacking anyone who questions Scalia's death

By Alex Thomas - February 15, 2016

(INTELLIHUB) — Two days after the untimely death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia questions are beginning to mount as to what actually happened at the Cibolo Creek Ranch where Scalia was found dead of what is being reported as “natural causes”. Almost immediately after his death, official sources and mainstream media talking heads began to report that there was no sign of foul play and that the famed conservative justice had most likely died alone in his room after retiring from dinner early the night before. Now, that narrative is being thrown into serious question after revelations that Scalia was found with a pillow over his head and that Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara actually decided against ordering an autopsy without even seeing the body. That’s right, a Supreme Court Justice was found dead and the justice of the peace who was contacted didn’t even actually see the body, having instead been assured by officials on the scene that there was no foul play involved. Nope, not suspicious at all….. WFAA 8 News reported: She planned to drive to the ranch — about 30 minutes south of Marfa — but returned when a U.S. Marshal told her by phone: “It’s not necessary for you to come, judge. If you’re asking for an autopsy, that’s what we need to clarify.” Judge Guevara said she wanted to clarify details of Scalia’s death before deciding whether to order an autopsy. “As part of my investigation one of the things I did ask the sheriff and the U.S. Marshal: ‘Were there any signs of foul play? And they said, ‘Absolutely not.’ At that time, I still wanted to be careful and asked them if [Scalia’s] physician would call me.” The justice’s personal doctor called Guevara at 8 p.m. Saturday night “When [the physician] explained [Scalia] had just visited on Wednesday and Thursday, and [the doctor] had done an MRI, then I felt comfortable what I knew was going on with him physically,” she said. So literally one of the most important human beings in American law is found dead and we are just supposed to take the word of a sheriff and still unnamed U.S. Marshals?!? And while the mainstream media is using every bit of misinformation in their playbook to pretend that this was totally normal, it in fact was not and another justice of the peace has already called Guevara’s decision into question. Speaking with the Washington Post, Juanita Bishop made clear that if she had been called she would not have decided that no autopsy was needed for one of the most important figures in America without even seeing the body. “If it had been me . . . I would want to know,” Bishop told The Post. Startlingly, this is not the only serious issue in the narrative that says Scalia died from natural causes as it is now being reported that when he was found dead in his bedroom he actually had a pillow over his face! This is being reported in multiple one line sentences within major reports on the justices death as if it was just a random, unimportant detail. “We discovered the judge in bed, a pillow over his head. His bed clothes were unwrinkled,” said Houston businessman John Poindexter, the owner of the 30,000-acre luxury ranch, according to the Houston Chronicle. Poindexter goes on to describe Scalia as looking like he was resting peacefully, apparently unaware that a pillow over the mans head looks extremely suspicious. These important details may only be the tip of the iceberg as it has been barely two days since Scalia’s death and a counter narrative to what actually took place is already beginning to form. You would think that the mainstream press would be all over a story with such significance. A Supreme Court Justice found dead under highly suspicious circumstances? That has Pulitzer Prize written all over it yet for their part the mainstream media has simply reported the details as given to them by authorities while focusing a good portion of their time actually attacking anyone who questions Scalia’s death. While many hit pieces and snarky Twitter updates lampooning anyone who questions the official narrative have already been published, one stands out for its audacity to just straight up lie about the person they are attacking. Self described Zionist liberal JE Reich, possibly hoping to get the attention of a bigger mainstream news outlet, (I mean really, who’s journalistic goals would end at writing for a rag like Jezebel?) decided to attack famed alternative media personality Alex Jones after he posted a Facebook video questioning whether or not Scalia was killed. What makes this attack so unbelievable is that it starts out with a paragraph that directly and, seemingly purposefully, lies about Jones, even providing links that actually show it to be pure nonsense. Reich wrote: Noted conspiracy theorist, Illuminati-believer, racist and “lovable” anti-Semite Alex Jones has made yet another grab for the spotlight. After reports of the passing of conservative U.S. Supreme Justice Antonin Scalia on February 13, the founder of the site InfoWars.com said he believes that Scalia was murdered in a government plot that makes Scandal look like the most boring fairy tale. WOW. So right off the bat Reich is signalling to her readers that only a racist anti-Semite would question Scalia’s death so therefore we should all just ignore everything he is saying and instead make fun of him. Reich hyperlinks the words racist and anti-Semite in an apparent attempt to “prove” her slanderous claims but when you actually click on the links they do not take you to any sort of proof at all. One is of a video from a hard left organization that literally puts together multiple different clips from Jones radio show in an attempt to prove he is a racist. Even with the video being purposefully taken out of context, Jones says nothing a normal person would consider racist. Worse, the second link takes the reader to a Forbes article describing who Jones is that doesn’t call him an anti-Semite at all. In fact, the only part of the entire article that even deals with the topic is in a description of Charlie Sheen’s appearance on his radio show that led to Sheen getting fired from CBS. The author of the Forbes piece writes: For the record, Jones himself has long taken pains to distance himself from overt anti-Semitism or racism of any kind. Essentially a writer for the hipster feminist website Jezebel just decided to call Jones names with absolutely no proof in an attempt to stop readers from even considering if Scalia was murdered. While only one example, the hit piece by Reich is a perfect example of how the mainstream media operates which is to attack the messenger with lies and misinformation whenever said messenger is speaking about something the powers that be do not want widely believed. To recap, Justice Antonin Scalia was found dead at a luxury ranch in Texas. Instead of examining the body to decide if an autopsy was needed, the justice of the peace made the decision over the phone after the feds “told her” there was no foul play. To top it off, Scalia was found dead with a pillow over his head. All this in only two days yet the mainstream media is already busy at work writing hit pieces that lie and misinform the public about news outlets who are questioning the official narrative. Its also extremely important to note that the death of Scalia is literally one of the most important happenings in decades. His death could allow the hard left to install a justice that will be the deciding vote in multiple moves to completely gut the Constitution. Obviously there was a major motive for murdering him.

SUDDEN DEATH

Scalia found dead with 'pillow over his head'

Ranch owner recounts final hours of Supreme Court justice

Published: 19 hours ago

Since Justice Antonin Scalia was found dead in his resort hotel room at Cibolo Creek Creek Ranch on Saturday, questions have been flying about the immediate declaration of “natural causes” as the means of death. According to the ranch owner, Scalia was described as “animated and engaged” during dinner Friday night. He was one of three dozen invitees to an event unrelated to law or politics. Yet just hours later, after missing both breakfast and lunch, he was found dead of apparent natural causes. Later, media outlets reported he had suffered a heart attack. RELATED: Urgent calls begin for Scalia autopsy Democrats fundraise off Scalia’s death Houston businessman John Poindexter, who owns the 30,000-acre luxury ranch, told the San Antonio Express-News: “He was seated near me and I had a chance to observe him. He was very entertaining. But about 9 p.m. he said, ‘It’s been a long day and a long week, I want to get some sleep.'” Poindexter knocked on Scalia’s door about 8:30 the next morning. The door was locked and the judge did not answer. Three hours later, Poindexter returned from an outing and determined Scalia was still missing. What do YOU think? Should an autopsy be performed on Scalia? Sound off in today’s WND poll. “We discovered the judge in bed, a pillow over his head. His bed clothes were unwrinkled,” said Poindexter. “He was lying very restfully. It looked like he had not quite awakened from a nap,” he said. “His hands were sort of almost folded on top of the sheets,” Poindexter told the New York Times. “The sheets weren’t rumpled up at all.” Scalia did not have a pulse and his body was cold, and after consulting with a doctor at a hospital in Alpine, Poindexter concluded resuscitation would have been futile. He then contacted federal authorities, at first encountering a series of answering services because he was calling on a weekend. “Ultimately they became available and handled it superbly,” he told the Express-News. “They flew in by helicopter. They told me to secure the ranch, which I did until this morning.” The Washington Post reported that after Scalia’s body was found: It then took hours for authorities in remote West Texas to find a justice of the peace, officials said Sunday. When they did, she pronounced Scalia dead of natural causes without seeing the body and decided not to order an autopsy. A second justice of the peace, who was called but couldn’t get to Scalia’s body in time, said she would have ordered an autopsy. As late as Sunday afternoon, there were conflicting reports about whether an autopsy would be performed, though officials later said Scalia’s body was being embalmed and there would be no autopsy. One report, by WFAA-TV in Dallas, said the death certificate would show the cause of the death was a heart attack. As late as Sunday afternoon, for example, there were conflicting reports about whether an autopsy should have been performed. A manager at the El Paso funeral home where Scalia’s body was taken said his family made it clear that they did not want one. Meanwhile, Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara acknowledged that she pronounced Scalia dead by phone, without seeing his body. Instead, she spoke to law enforcement officials at the scene – who assured her “there were no signs of foul play” – and Scalia’s physician in Washington, who said that the 79-year-old justice suffered from a host of chronic conditions. “He was having health issues,” Guevara said, adding that she is awaiting a statement from Scalia’s doctor that will be added to his death certificate when it is issued later this week. Guevara also rebutted a report by a Dallas TV station that quoted her as saying that Scalia had died of “myocardial infarction.” In an interview with The Washington Post, she said she meant only that his heart had stopped. “It wasn’t a heart attack,” Guevara said. “He died of natural causes. ”Scalia’s body was moved to an El Paso funeral home early Sunday, then driven from Marfa and arrived around 2:30 a.m. at Sunset Funeral Homes, according to spokesman Chris Lujan. Lujan said the funeral home was chosen by Scalia’s family, and at the advice of a family friend. The El Paso County medical examiner’s office said they hadn’t received any information regarding the possibility of performing an autopsy. As WND reported, the seemingly quick conclusion that Scalia died of “natural causes” is prompting calls for an autopsy and toxicological reports by activists and across social media platforms.

Poindexter said Scalia’s sudden death was both a personal tragedy for those at the ranch, and for the nation at large. “All of us here saw him as a stalwart defender of our way of life in Texas, in a real sense,” he said. “It’s a great loss. Having made that statement, if it was his time to go, he was surrounded by friends, in fairly nice setting, with a full tummy too. He said he was very happy to be invited so it could have been in worse circumstances. … It’s caused all of us here to stop and think about life, how precious it is, and how it is so unexpectedly lost.”

Barack Obama “Thrilled” Over Justice Scalia’s Death…

Posted on February 14, 2016 by DCWhispers

Word reached the White House hours before formal media announcements were made regarding longtime Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia having been found dead while vacationing at a Texas resort. First the speechwriters were summoned to provide the appropriate tone for Barack Obama’s remarks. During that same time, Obama and Valerie Jarrett were already initiating a long-standing plan for what they viewed as a prime opportunity to make Mr. Obama relevant once again and an opportunity that the President was said to be thrilled to have before him. The animosity between Justice Scalia and the Obama White House was well known. Scalia considered the Obama administration to be a scourge upon the Constitutional-based tenets of the American form of government. The Obama White House in turn privately viewed Scalia as a legal “dinosaur” who was horribly out of place amidst the ongoing “fundamental transformation” the Obama regime was pushing for the country. Scalia famously blasted the administration for such critical acts as Obamacare, illegal immigration, states rights, and executive authority. Now Mr. Obama and his team of trusted advisers, led personally by Valerie Jarrett, are preparing to proceed with their choice to be Justice Scalia’s replacement and intend to bludgeon Republicans should the Republican-controlled Senate refuse to give that appointment the legislative light of day. Media contacts have been employed, and soon a roll-out campaign will be forthcoming. It is the very thing Mr. Obama excels most at – highly divisive politics and near-constant self-promotion. He intends to see the balance of power shifted on the Court to more fully express his will and view of what the United States should, and should not be. War is once again brewing in D.C., and Barack Obama is reportedly thrilled over it. RELATED REPORT PUBLISHED JUST THREE MONTHS BEFORE JUSTICE SCALIA’S DEATH: Valerie Jarrett Unleashes Media Attack Upon Supreme Court Justice Scalia It has long been known, though rarely spoken of publicly, that Valerie Jarrett, Senior White House adviser to Barack Obama and perhaps the single most influential figure in Washington D.C. deems the Supreme Court as the key to solidifying her version of America for generations to come. Maybe that is why she has allegedly set … Continue reading

The Constitution Will Be Ruled "Un" Constitutional!

Posted February 14th, 2016 at 11:15 PM (CST) by Bill Holter & filed under Bill Holter.

Dear CIGAs, What a sad day Saturday was for the world and also the United States. Normally I try to stay with economic/finance and geopolitical logic in my writings. Half of today’s writing will discuss the Turkish (and coming Saudi) assault on Syria, the final half will discuss the very untimely death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. It is usually better to steer clear of politics but today’s missive will give the public trolls a chance to scream prior to my work becoming part of the premium content section at JSMineset. The situation in the Middle East has been complicated for several thousand years but never more so than it is today. At its core and “publicly” you have the dislike between the two Muslim factions Sunni and Shia and the struggle between the West and the East. Business must also be added into the mix and when I use the word “business” I am speaking of oil. The situation is extremely complicated and confusing to the point of not really making sense of who friend or foe is. I believe a good description of the very confusing situation can be read here. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-02-14/road-world-war-iii-turkey-shells-syria-second-day-saudi-warplanes-arrive  From a very broad perspective here are a few observations. Because of Syria’s location, they are pivotal. You see, their land mass must be crossed in order for a pipeline from Western ally oil and gas into Europe. Russia, Syria’s “protector” Russia Prime Minister Warns US and Arab Countries: Invading Syria “will start a new world war” for a lack of better words, does not want the pipeline built as the energy flow strengthens Western business and is a direct competitor to their own energy industry. This can also be viewed from a currency standpoint and might even be called a “currency war”. One side pro dollar and the other wanting a move away from the dollar. A power struggle of epic proportions is unfolding between dollar and non-dollar interests. One might ask “why now”? Why is this heating up and look to possibly have started at this moment in time? I believe simply because there is no more time. As I mentioned before this is about “business” and we’ll go one step further here. “Business” in the West (and globally) is collapsing. Whether it be physical in the form of trade or financial in the form of markets, the wheels are coming off rapidly. It is my opinion the West “NEEDS” war for several reasons. First, a war is needed to “point at” and be able to say “our policies were working but the war came along and changed everything”. Secondly, war (if not nuclear) is always good economically and has been used for centuries to boost demand and production. Lastly, those in power understand if nothing gets done they will lose their power or “control” if they lose the system. If the loss of the system coincides with war the people can be further fooled into “begging” to be saved. We can only pray that somehow, some way, this does not go full blown but I believe the odds are slim and getting slimmer with each day. As for the sad day America had yesterday, I inadvertently called this exactly two weeks ago. In an interview I made mention “the U.S. is just one Supreme Court Justice away from socialism/communism/dictatorship” because a shift in the balance of power at the high court will be the final nail in the American coffin. I can hear the liberals screaming already but “socialism” (really communism) is the main reason our country has completely lost its way. Even though socialism has been proven a complete economic disaster in real life, “utopia” still sounds pretty cool …depending on which “half” you belong to! To frame this discussion, the U.S. has never been as divided as it is today since the Civil War. I would even venture to say it is MORE divided today than during the civil war. The outright “hatred” between liberals and conservatives is now so great, no “discussion” can even be had. You know where I stand on this subject. Logically, if you tell someone he will not get the full fruit of his labor or investment because it must be shared, the incentive is to not work as hard. Conversely, if you tell someone they can get something for nothing, what incentive is there to work at all? After a time, no one wants to work and “everyone has nothing” because little to nothing is being produced. Any liberal who denies this needs only to look at there very own poster child, Venezuela Venezuela´s response to food shortages? Grow your own food at home ! Suffice it to say, anytime a country has less than half its population supporting another non-working and larger half, IT’S OVER! The various topics in the balance are numerous including The Constitution itself. I would say a balance of power shift to communism will result in “The Constitution itself being ruled ‘UN’ Constitutional”. We have already seen the disaster named Obamacare destroy care availability and explode premiums (for those who MUST pay) into the stratosphere. In fact, there are now more uninsured in the U.S. than there were before “everyone” was supposed to be covered. This is because the insurance is now either unaffordable for those who WERE covered or by their employers NOW cutting work hours back to no more than 29 per week. How “free” will free speech be if you are allowed to espouse your opinion ONLY if it agrees with whoever is in power? We already know the liberals want to ban guns because they are “bad”. Are guns bad when your own government goes “rogue” and makes demands of you at gunpoint? The original framers of The Constitution saw religious and economic oppression at the end of a gun, a “well armed” militia is what keeps the government honest. They knew this then, those voting for unicorns and skittles now will soon understand the concept. I can only wonder what people will think when their right to assemble is denied when the assembly opposes those making the rules? Just understand this, once these rights are gone, they are gone forever and too late …you will never get back what you give away! Our forefathers knew, saw and warned of everything transpiring today as if they had a crystal ball. Many world leaders also knew this. China’s Mao knew it, he understood and even said in 1971 the U.S. would fall because we would destroy our own currency. Hitler knew he had to change the mindset of an entire nation and there is no better way to do this than to rewrite the history taught to children. This is very similar to today’s “common core” pabulum we pay our taxes to teach our children.

http://www.wnd.com/2016/02/historian-heres-progressives-strategy-to-destroy-americas-heroes/ 

To finish and no doubt irritate those with poor logic and knowledge of history, I can only hope and pray the Senators elected in 2014 do what they were elected to do. Undoubtedly Mr. Obama will send a (or several) nomination to fill Justice Scalia’s vacant chair. I remind you of the following because the screams of “follow The Constitution” is already bellowing from the left. The populace overwhelmingly elected Republicans and threw out incumbents with the promise Mr. Obama would be “stopped”. We even heard promises of the repeal of Obamacare. We can only pray these newly elected Republicans follow the will of the people and block any nominations until WE THE PEOPLE get to vote again, this time even LOUDER! If the Senate were to confirm ANY nomination prior to the next election you will know for a fact they have been bought and paid for …and the country we knew as the United States of America is OVER! The above spoke from a “rights” standpoint. If we look at the U.S. from a strictly financial standpoint, unless facts and mathematics can be somehow magically changed, electing Jesus Christ himself as president will not be enough to avoid the inevitable default …though we would treat each other much more kindly! I pray for Justice Scalia’s soul and offer prayers and condolences to his family and those close to him. I will also pray for those dancing for joy on his grave. Quite revolting and mean spirited but that is “who” this country has become! Standing watch with tears in my eyes, Bill Holter

'These Are The Beginnings Of Sorrows' - Jason A Compilation Of Worldwide Recent End Time Events

February 15, 2016 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

"For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows." - Mark 13:8 From strange health outbreaks, increasingly frequent deadly earthquakes, worldwide meteor sightings to 'bionic beings" attempting to change the human race, Jason A once again manages to capture recent news clips from around the world that leads him to conclude by the end of this compilation that "These are the beginnings of sorrows." "And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men." Revelation 13:13 Starting with the February 8, 2016 reports of a man in India being killed by a meteorite, we are then shown reports from January 31 - February 11, of "strange lights" captured in the San Diego sky, fireballs captured on dashcams in Saudi Arabia, others in Virginia, Washington DC, and Wisconsin in separate events. "The Lord shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish."- Deuteronomy 28:22 At the two-minute mark clips are shown regarding the Zika virus, the state of emergency declared in Hawaii over the Dengue Fever after over 250 confirmed cases, salmonella outbreaks and a strange, unexplained illness that sickened 192 students and faculty members at Ursins College. By the 3:46 minute mark we see reports of earthquake swarms in Oklahoma and Kansas, with described as becoming "more and more frequent," with others in New Brunswick where 23 quakes have occurred since February 1, 2016 with 9 happening in just one day. Devastation in Taiwan after a 6.4 magnitude earthquake hit, killing 116 on Feb. 10, 2016 and leaving 96 in the hospital. Other reports include Canada where swarms are hitting with residents saying they are "worse than they've ever experiences," and a 5.7 magnitude earthquake in New Zealand on February 13, 2016 Other events detailed by Jason include but are not limited to the ongoing mysterious booms shaking homes in MI, reports of the Johnson Space Center banning the word "Jesus" in their newsletter and further attacks against Christian beliefs. "And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." Revelation 13:17 Perhaps the most nightmarish portion of the video compilation below comes at around the 11:10 minute mark as we see "cyborgs among us," and "bionic beings" as bio-hackers try to alter the human race with implanted technology to which many believe is the true "Mark of the Beast."

Exclusive: Radioactive material stolen in Iraq raises security fears

BAGHDAD | By Ahmed Rasheed, Aref Mohammed and Stephen Kalin

Wed Feb 17, 2016 1:15pm EST

Iraq is searching for "highly dangerous" radioactive material stolen last year, according to an environment ministry document and seven security, environmental and provincial officials who fear it could be used as a weapon if acquired by Islamic State. The material, stored in a protective case the size of a laptop computer, went missing in November from a storage facility near the southern city of Basra belonging to U.S. oilfield services company Weatherford (WFT.N), the document obtained by Reuters showed and officials confirmed. A spokesman for Iraq's environment ministry said he could not discuss the issue, citing national security concerns. A Weatherford spokesman in Iraq declined to comment, and the company's Houston headquarters did not respond to repeated requests for comment. The material, which uses gamma rays to test flaws in materials used for oil and gas pipelines in a process called industrial gamma radiography, is owned by Istanbul-based SGS Turkey, according to the document and officials. An SGS official in Iraq declined to comment and referred Reuters to its Turkish headquarters, which did not respond to phone calls. The document, dated Nov. 30 and addressed to the ministry's Centre for Prevention of Radiation, describes "the theft of a highly dangerous radioactive source of Ir-192 with highly radioactive activity belonging to SGS from a depot belonging to Weatherford in the Rafidhia area of Basra province". A senior environment ministry official based in Basra, who declined to be named as he is not authorized to speak publicly, told Reuters the device contained up to 10 grams (0.35 ounces) of Ir-192 "capsules", a radioactive isotope of iridium also used to treat cancer. The material is classed as a Category 2 radioactive source by the International Atomic Energy Agency, meaning if not managed properly it could cause permanent injury to a person in close proximity to it for minutes or hours, and could be fatal to someone exposed for a period of hours to days. How harmful exposure can be is determined by a number of factors such as the material's strength and age, which Reuters could not immediately determine. The ministry document said it posed a risk of bodily and environmental harm as well as a national security threat. DIRTY BOMB FEAR Large quantities of Ir-192 have gone missing before in the United States, Britain and other countries, stoking fears among security officials that it could be used to make a dirty bomb. A dirty bomb combines nuclear material with conventional explosives to contaminate an area with radiation, in contrast to a nuclear weapon, which uses nuclear fission to trigger a vastly more powerful blast. "We are afraid the radioactive element will fall into the hands of Daesh," said a senior security official with knowledge of the theft, using an Arabic acronym for Islamic State. "They could simply attach it to explosives to make a dirty bomb," said the official, who works at the interior ministry and spoke on condition of anonymity as he is also not authorized to speak publicly. There was no indication the material had come into the possession of Islamic State, which seized territory in Iraq and Syria in 2014 but does not control areas near Basra. The security official, based in Baghdad, told Reuters there were no immediate suspects for the theft. But the official said the initial investigation suggested the perpetrators had specific knowledge of the material and the facility: "No broken locks, no smashed doors and no evidence of forced entry," he said. An operations manager for Iraqi security firm Taiz, which was contracted to protect the facility, declined to comment, citing instructions from Iraqi security authorities. A spokesman for Basra operations command, responsible for security in Basra province, said army, police and intelligence forces were working "day and night" to locate the material. The army and police have responsibility for security in the country's south, where Iranian-backed Shi'ite militias and criminal gangs also operate. POLLUTION RISK Iraqi forces are battling Islamic State in the country's north and west, backed by a U.S.-led coalition. The militant group has been accused of using chemical weapons on more than one occasion over the past few years. The closest area fully controlled by Islamic State is more than 500 km (300 miles) north of Basra in the western province of Anbar. The Sunni militants control no territory in the predominantly Shi'ite southern provinces but have claimed bomb attacks there, including one that killed 10 people in October in the district where the Weatherford facility is located. Besides the risk of a dirty bomb, the radioactive material could cause harm simply by being left exposed in a public place for several days, said David Albright, a physicist and president of the Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security. "If they left it in some crowded place, that would be more of the risk. If they kept it together but without shielding," he said. "Certainly it's not insignificant. You could cause some panic with this. They would want to get this back." The senior environmental official said authorities were worried that whoever stole the material would mishandle it, leading to radioactive pollution of "catastrophic proportions". A second senior environment ministry official, also based in Basra, said counter-radiation teams had begun inspecting oil sites, scrap yards and border crossings to locate the device after an emergency task force raised the alarm on Nov. 13. Two Basra provincial government officials said they were directed on Nov. 25 to coordinate with local hospitals. "We instructed hospitals in Basra to be alert to any burn cases caused by radioactivity and inform security forces immediately," said one.

China deploys missiles to disputed island in South China Sea, Taiwan says

William Cummings and John Bacon, USA TODAY 1:46 p.m. EST February 17, 2016

China deployed missiles to a disputed island in the South China Sea even as President Obama called for reduced tensions in the region at the conclusion of a summit with Southeast Asian leaders, Taiwan defense officials said Wednesday. Commercial satellite imagery cited by the Taiwanese Defense Ministry shows that China deployed advanced anti-aircraft batteries on crescent-shaped Woody Island, which China has occupied since 1974. A U.S. Defense Department official said the images appeared to be authentic. The official declined to be identified because he is not authorized to discuss the details publicly. Taiwan Defense Ministry spokesman Luo Shou-he said Taiwan's military has gathered information about the deployment and is closely monitoring developments. Luo said all parties concerned in the dispute should work together for peace and stability in the region and avoid any unilateral action that could accelerate tension. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi downplayed the incident. "We believe this is an attempt by certain Western media to create news stories,” Wang said. Wang rejected criticism aimed at China for building infrastructure, including lighthouses and weather stations. “All of those are actions that China, as the biggest littoral state in the South China Sea, has undertaken to provide more public goods and services to the international community and play its positive role there," Wang said. Woody Island, the largest in the Paracel Island chain of about 130 islands scattered over 6,000 square miles of the South China Sea, is claimed by China, Taiwan and Vietnam. The Navy recently challenged attempts by China and other nations to restrict navigation in the South China Sea, sailing the guided missile destroyer USS Curtis Wilbur near another island in the archipelago. The “freedom of navigation operation” took the vessel within 12 miles of Triton Island. There were no Chinese ships in the area when the destroyer sailed past.

Why evangelicals are splintering and what it means for the GOP

February 16, 2016 12:09 PM

By LISA MASCARO Tribune Washington Bureau

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- When Southern Baptists named Russell Moore to a top leadership post, conservative evangelicals winced. Moore supports immigration reform, advocates improved race relations and counseled tolerance after the Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage. To some, he is the Pope Francis of the evangelical South, and they don't mean it as a compliment. To others, he is a long overdue voice nudging conservative Christians away from the us-versus-them rhetoric of the past, and reshaping evangelicals' long-standing alliance with the Republican Party. Much like the GOP itself, the evangelical movement is going through an identity crisis. It's a fissure that has been widened by the 2016 presidential campaign, particularly as the race moves to South Carolina, a gateway to the Bible Belt and the next battleground primary state. As older, predominantly white churchgoers age and a younger generation thinks differently about faith, evangelicals are fracturing as a voting bloc and the power of pastors to all but endorse candidates from the pulpit is fading. Many churchgoers are frustrated with what they see as a long list of broken promises from GOP leaders, and by their own religious hierarchy, which helped deliver those politicians to office. Much in the way the GOP is torn between forces seeking a more inclusive party and those pushing politics further to the right, church leaders are struggling with how best to keep evangelicals united. "That's the debate the Republican Party's having and, in many ways, that's the debate American evangelicalism is having," said Moore, who encourages evangelicals to be more inclusive and less insular as part of their faith. "Preaching to the choir has become an industry in American life, and that's not how one brings change," he said. "We want to be speaking to persuade, not just to vent our outrage." Division among evangelicals was starkly revealed in the Iowa caucus. Turnout was robust -- 64 percent of GOP voters identified as evangelical -- but they splintered: Ted Cruz won 37 percent of the evangelical vote, Donald Trump drew 22 percent and Marco Rubio got 21 percent. Prominent evangelical leaders are similarly divided. Despite a private meeting in the summer of 2014, called specifically to unify around one presidential candidate, evangelical leaders are going their separate ways. The most high-profile break came when Jerry Falwell Jr. praised Donald Trump on stage at the nation's largest evangelical campus, Liberty University, even though many conservative Christians view the billionaire's coarse language, divorces, bankruptcies and casino-generated wealth as anathema to their faith. Other prominent leaders -- Bob Vander Plaats, Tony Perkins and James Dobson -- coalesced around Ted Cruz, the born-again Texas senator, who has meticulously cultivated Southern pastors one church at a time. He continued that effort Sunday with a stop with his wife and kids at Community Bible Church in Beaufort, S.C. "Come out and vote your values," Cruz told the packed congregation. "Turning the country around is simple if Christians rise up as one." Rubio, meanwhile, is quietly consulting with a less overtly political generation of pastors, including Rick Warren in California, who has provided the Florida senator with counsel but has declined to endorse any politician. The endorsement wars have turned sharp at times. Moore, as president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberties Commission, is not endorsing a candidate. But he launched into a tweet-storm over Falwell's embrace of Trump as a philanthropist and family man. "This would be hilarious if it weren't so counter to the mission of the gospel of Jesus Christ," Moore tweeted last month as the speech unfolded on the campus founded by Falwell's late father. "Winning at politics while losing the gospel is not a win." Evangelicals first emerged as a potent electoral force with the rise of the elder Falwell's Moral Majority in 1979, credited with helping to elect Ronald Reagan. Leaders barnstormed the country calling for a return to Christian values as an alternative to the nation's growing secularization. The organization disbanded at the end of the Reagan era, confident it had accomplished its mission. Today evangelicals account for about 25 percent of the national population, according to Pew Research Center. They continue to vote overwhelmingly for Republicans, opposing most Democratic candidates' views on abortion, gay marriage and other topics. But the fraying political cohesion among evangelicals is threatening to diminish their influence. Vander Plaats, who convened the private 2014 meeting aimed at bringing church leaders together, predicted evangelicals will remain a strong force in the election. "People of faith are going to have a voice in this process," he said. But Vander Plaats, who has been pressing his fellow pastors to support Cruz, acknowledged the divisions. "We're going to see if we can have a unified voice," he said. As the primary battle heads toward the Southern states, Moore sees evangelical voters sliding into three distinct blocs. Trump backers include those who are willing to look past the celebrity candidate's lifestyle because they are so fed up with Washington politics and ready for the "big change" he promises. Religion may not be their top issue, just as women's issues don't lead all females to support Hillary Clinton and Latinos don't always rank immigration as their first priority. So-called "prosperity gospel" enthusiasts are also attracted to Trump's financial success, and are willing to overlook his stumble on the correct way to say 2 Corinthians, which drew snickers during his Liberty speech. On Sunday, Ray Pridgen, a father of three, turned out to hear Cruz speak at the Beaufort church and was impressed by the senator. But he was still tempted by Trump's business sense. "As a Christian, you are called to follow your faith," said the food services general manger. "That's the hard toss up between the secular and the religious aspects of it." The older, more traditional wing of the evangelical movement sees Cruz as their best chance to lead the political class to policy solutions more in line with their Christian values. He opposes drafting women into the Army and called the Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage "lawless." Though Cruz has distinguished himself as an outsider on Capitol Hill and butted heads with what he terms the Washington "cartel," he's seen as the "establishment" favorite of old-school evangelicals. "Everything in his background would indicate to me he is one of us," said Pastor Bill Monroe, who has led Florence Baptist Temple in South Carolina for more than 40 years. This group is alarmed by the growing secularization in America. In 2014, the share of the U.S. adults that identified as Protestant Christians slipped below 50 percent for the first time, according to Pew, while those unaffiliated with any religion rose to more than 1 in 5. Monroe said he hoped Cruz could at least slow that trend. "Maybe just holding it back a little longer is the best hope." Rubio appeals to the children of the Moral Majority, who aren't necessarily more liberal or secular than their lineage, but prefer the come-as-you-are inclusivity of today's cargo-shorts-and-guitar-rock churches. These younger, more ethnically diverse Christians are just as theologically focused, Moore said, but they are skeptical of politicians who "use the gospel as mascot." They are seeking more authentic expressions of both politics and faith -- beyond the bubbles of self-selective groups who get their news largely from Fox News. For many of them, Rubio's attempt to tackle immigration reform and his comment that he would attend a friend's same-sex marriage better reflects their brand of Christian values, Moore said. Moreover, this group includes many of the nonwhite evangelicals who are now one of the fastest growing segments, and whom Republicans most need to reach. "These evangelicals are not going to be easy for politicians to get in line," Moore said. "These evangelicals are the future of where evangelicalism is at."

Despite Today’s Pullback In The Metals, A Jaw-Dropping Target For Silver Has Been Issued

February 15, 2016

James Turk: “Both gold and silver have pulled back here in London today, Eric, which is not too surprising. The precious metals have been on fire this year, and particularly so last week. Gold and silver both jumped 7% from the week before and gains like that are exceptional. So some cooling off is to be expected… To hear which company Eric Sprott, James Turk and George Soros invested in that is advancing the digital payments revolution and makes it possible for you to spend gold with a prepaid-card globally click on the logo: What we really need to do is try distancing ourselves from what has been a very hot market so far this year. Let’s instead take a look at the big picture, and focus on a key question that you and I have been discussing for weeks. Did gold and silver bottom back in early December when I first raised that possibility? We still do not know the answer to that question. As a result of the price moves so far this year, the odds have of course improved that the low in gold and silver were made back in early December. Odds Gold And Silver Have Bottomed Are Improvin Nevertheless, even though the odds have improved that the final low prices of gold and silver have been reached, meaning that their 4-year correction has ended, we all know that anything is possible when it comes to markets. So notwithstanding the positive fundamental backdrop for gold as the ultimate safe haven and the positive technical developments over the past few weeks, let’s keep in mind that anything can happen, good or bad. So each day we have to evaluate what the metals are doing and respond accordingly. We need to let gold and silver tell us their own story as their price trends unfold. We need to continuously look for more evidence as to whether the downtrend in precious metal prices has ended and a new uptrend is taking place. To do this, there are several indicators that I look at for gold and silver as well as the dollar and other currencies, but the following chart of weekly silver prices – which you and I have discussed several times before over the years – is one of my favorites. The Most Important Chart In The Silver Market First of all, this multi-decade chart of silver is very bullish. It shows the distribution that took place after silver peaked at $50 in January 1980. By the early 1990s, the selling pressure of the previous decade dissipated. The so-called “strong hands,” who were recognizing how undervalued silver was, began overpowering the weak hands, who had been selling since the 1980 peak. In other words, beginning in the early 1990s, silver was being accumulated, and the upward price trend resulting from this accumulation ended in April 2011, again at the same $50 price. Since then silver has been in a downtrend, which is clear from the red line on the chart. Nevertheless, the overall technical pattern being formed – which is called a “cup-and-handle” – remains potentially very bullish. There are three events needed for this pattern to complete, and for silver to realize its upside potential. The 3 Keys To The Price Of Silver. Silver first has to break above the red downtrend line, which means silver needs to break above roughly the $18 level. When it does, it will be a signal that silver has begun forming a new uptrend. Then that uptrend needs to take silver to $50, completing the handle part of this pattern. Third, silver needs to break above the horizontal neckline at $50. A Jaw-Dropping Price Target For Silver When that happens, silver will finally begin its bull market. Silver will then head toward the $400 price that can be expected if this cup-and-handle pattern follows its normal historical path. In other words, gold has been in a bull market since 2008 when it broke above its old record high dating all the way back to January 1980. Silver though is still in its basing pattern, and will be until it breaks above $50, the high reached in January 1980 and April 2011. Based on the evidence unfolding, Eric, I expect that the next couple of years will be spectacular for silver. We had a taste of how spectacular silver can be awhile back when silver soared from $18 to $50 in the nine months ending in April 2011. But look at what silver did back in 1978 to 1980. That is what I mean by spectacular, and that is what I expect for silver once it finally completes its cup-and-handle pattern by breaking above $50.

Is this the cure for cancer? Genetically modified blood turned into 'living drug' in stunning new therapy that hunts down and destroys diseased cells and prevents them from returning - possibly FOREVER

Layla Richards became one of the first to be given the landmark treatment

She was given genetically engineering cells which killed off her leukemia

Studies reveal the treatment could last for at least 14 years in the body

It raises the prospect of a permanent cancer cure being widely available

By Fiona Macrae Science Editor In Washington D.c Published: 19:05 EST, 15 February 2016 | Updated: 08:12 EST, 16 February 2016

A revolutionary treatment that could stop cancer from ever coming back is close to becoming widely available, scientists said yesterday. Dubbed a ‘living drug’, it will act in a similar way to a vaccine, by being constantly alert for the disease returning. T-cell immunotherapy hit headlines last year when British baby Layla Richards became one of the first people in the world to be given the treatment, which is made from the body’s own cells. Now, two landmark studies have revealed the therapy’s stunning potential. One suggests it will last for at least 14 years in the body, raising the tantalising prospect of a permanent cure for cancer. In the other, 94 per cent of terminally ill patients saw the disease vanish completely. The ‘extraordinary’ results – seen in so-called ‘liquid’ cancers such as leukaemia rather than those that form solid tumours – are ‘unprecedented in medicine’, the world’s biggest science conference heard. Researcher Chiara Bonini said: ‘This really is a revolution.’ The treatment is created from T-cells – white blood cells that normally fight off viruses and bacteria – which are removed from the patient and genetically tweaked to recognise and attack their cancer. The genetically-modified cells are then grown in their millions in a lab before being infused back into the patient, where they hunt down and destroy the cancer cells. Scientists around the world are perfecting the technique, and a series of trials have shown it to have remarkable potential. Some of the most exciting results come from the San Raffaele Scientific Institute in Milan, where doctors gave ten patients infusions of T-cells and watched how long they lasted in the body. One type of T-cell survived for 14 years, the conference of the American Association for the Advancement of Science heard. Dr Bonini said these cells may last for life. If they were also genetically engineered to hunt out and destroy cancer, they would patrol the body year after year and stop it from ever returning. She likened the therapy to a vaccine that gives protection for life against an infection, adding: ‘T-cells are a living drug and they have the potential to persist in our body for our whole lives. 'Our findings have profound implications for the design of T-cell-based immunotherapies.’ Dr Bonini said patients were ‘very close’ to the first treatments becoming widely available.' Professor Daniel Davis, a Manchester University expert on the immune system, described the study as ‘an important advance’. He said: ‘The implication is that infusing genetically-modified versions of these particular T-cells could provide a long-lasting immune response. Immunotherapy has great potential to revolutionise cancer treatments and this study shows which type of T-cells might be especially useful to manipulate.’ A second study, also presented at the conference in Washington DC, reinforced the potential of T-cell immunotherapy. When scientists at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Centre in Seattle gave genetically-modified T-cells to leukaemia patients with months to live, the cancer disappeared in 94 per cent of cases. Patients with other blood cancers saw response rates of greater than 80 per cent, with more than half experiencing complete remission. Researcher Dr Stanley Riddell said: ‘These are patients that have failed [every other treatment]. ‘Most patients in our trial would be projected to have two to five months to live. 'This is extraordinary... unprecedented in medicine to get response rates in this range in these very advanced patients. ‘We have a long way to go. The response is not always durable, some of these patients do relapse … but the early data is unprecedented.’ Professor Dirk Busch, a T-cell researcher at the Technical University of Munich, said: ‘We have now for the first time genetically engineered T-cells in patients. ‘A couple of years ago, nobody would have expected that they would work so nicely, that they would survive so nicely. That opens the door for getting more creative and making better cells.’ The treatment is not without its challenges, including side-effects that can be severe and even fatal. Success so far has been in leukaemia and other ‘liquid’ cancers, rather than prostate, breast and other tumours that form lumps. Getting T-cells deep inside solid tumours will be difficult. Cost is also an issue, as the treatment is tailored to individual patients. Cancer Research UK’s Dr Kat Arney said it was an ‘exciting prospect’. She stressed that it ‘doesn’t yet work for all patients … we still need more results from more trials … but there’s a lot of hope this type of therapy could save lives’. ‘Like a vaccine that protects for life.’

Detectives question lack of autopsy in Scalia death

By Jamie Schram & Bob Fredericks

Veteran homicide investigators in New York and Washington, DC, on Monday questioned the way local and federal authorities in Texas handled the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. “It’s not unreasonable to ask for an autopsy in this case, particularly knowing who he is,” retired Brooklyn homicide Detective Patricia Tufo told The Post. “He’s not at home. There are no witnesses to his death, and there was no reported explanation for why a pillow is over his head,” Tufo said. “So I think under the circumstances it’s not unreasonable to request an autopsy. Despite the fact that he has pre-existing ailments and the fact that he’s almost 80 years old, you want to be sure that it’s not something other than natural causes.” Bill Ritchie, a retired deputy chief and former head of criminal investigations for the DC police, said he was dumbstruck when he learned that no autopsy would be performed. “I took a look at the report and I almost fell out of my chair,” Ritchie told The Post from his home in Maryland. “I used to be an instructor in the homicide school. Every death investigation you are handling, you consider it a homicide until the investigation proves otherwise,” Ritchie said. “How do you know that person wasn’t smothered? How do you know it’s not a homicide until you conduct an investigation? You have to do your job. Once you go through that process, you can conclude that this is a naturally occurring death.” Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara said she declared Scalia dead via telephone based on what cops and marshals at the scene told her — that there were no signs of foul play. “How in the world can that Texas judge, not even seeing the body, say that this is a heart attack?” Ritchie wondered. “A US marshal can’t tell you. You need a medical professional. If this was Joe Blow, you say OK, 79 years of age, health problems, maybe natural causes. But this is a sitting justice of the Supreme Court!” Guevara also spoke by phone with Scalia’s physician, who told her Scalia had several chronic medical conditions and had gone to the doctor’s last week for a shoulder problem, reports say. Scalia’s family did not want an autopsy, she added. With AP

Poll: 79% Suspect “Foul Play” in Death of Antonin Scalia

Nearly eight out of ten think there might be a cover-up

Paul Joseph Watson - February 15, 2016

A poll conducted by the Conservative Outfitters website finds that 79% of its readers suspect “foul play” was involved in the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Over 40,000 people voted in the poll, with nearly eight out of ten thinking there may be a cover-up. Questions continue to swirl over the confusing circumstances surrounding Scalia’s death after his body was quickly embalmed following the decision not to conduct an autopsy. Although the leftist media has attempted to portray any examination of the narrative about Scalia’s death as crass and insensitive, the same standards seemingly don’t apply when it comes to leftists themselves celebrating the death of the Supreme Court Justice. Some of the unanswered questions surrounding Scalia’s death are explored in the video below. They include; Why did law enforcement personnel tell Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara that there was no evidence of foul play when Scalia was found alone in his room with a pillow over his head? Was the immediate clampdown on any suggestion of foul play an attempt to prevent an autopsy from taking place? Why did Guevara initially tell the media Scalia had died of a heart attack before hastily changing her mind and saying he died of natural causes? Why did Guevara pronounce that Scalia had died of natural causes without having actually seen the body? Why is no autopsy taking place despite Guevara’s confusion as to how Scalia died – a decision disputed by other officials?

Why was it necessary for no less than 20 police officers to escort Scalia’s dead body to the Sunset Funeral Home in El Paso? Why was Scalia’s body quickly embalmed, a process that would destroy toxicology evidence?

The End of an American Era: Scalia is Dead

By Pamela Geller on February 13, 2016

If the right doesn’t understand what’s at stake now, they never will. Who will President Obama select to replace a leading conservative voice on the high court? Nihad Awad? Muhammad Morsi? This is all so terrible. Obama is hated across the nation — and rightly so. The next President should name Scalia’s replacement. Antonin Scalia, Supreme Court justice, dies at 79

By Jamie Gangel, Ariane de Vogue, Evan Perez and Kevin Bohn, CNN, February 12, 2016:

(CNN) U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, a leading conservative voice on the high court, has died at the age of 79, a government source and a family friend told CNN on Saturday. President Ronald Reagan appointed Scalia to the U.S. Court of Appeals in 1982. In 1986, he nominated Scalia to the Supreme Court. A government official said Scalia went to bed Friday night and told friends he wasn’t feeling well. Saturday morning, he didn’t get up for breakfast. And the group he was with for a hunting trip left without him. Someone at the ranch went in to check on him and found him unresponsive.

RELATED: Antonin Scalia fast facts The U.S. Marshals Service is not investigating Scalia’s death, an official told CNN. They are helping to arrange for his body to be returned.

Former Intel Officer Suspects Foul Play in Death of Antonin Scalia

"Who dies with a pillow over their head?"

Paul Joseph Watson - February 15, 2016

A former U.S. Army intelligence officer who had a top secret clearance suspects foul play in the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. “The circumstances surrounding Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia’s death are growing more suspicious by the minute,” writes Ray Starmann, who worked in Army intelligence for eight years before becoming a journalist. Starmann points to the fact that the story appears to keep changing, with initial reports that Scalia had died of a heart attack later denied. He also questions why no autopsy was performed and why Scalia’s body was quickly embalmed, “erasing any chances for the coroner to conduct efficient toxicology tests.” “The same people who want you to believe Scalia died of a heart attack or natural causes are the same people who want you to believe that Hillary won the Iowa Caucuses with six coin tosses and the same people who want you to believe after fifty years that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin of President Kennedy,” he writes, adding, “Of course the MSM has reported on none of this. Even Fox News refuses to cover the strange occurrences in Texas.” Starmann even suspects that reports of Scalia having a pillow over his head when he was found dead could represent a message being sent in the style of The Godfather. “Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes. The pillow over Scalia’s head wasn’t put there by a Hispanic maid. The pillow over the head is a warning,” he writes. Now that Scalia is gone and likely to be replaced by a leftist activist judge, Starmann fears that the constitution is about to be eviscerated. “Scalia was the tie breaking judge, the man who could push back any liberal policies being shoved through the court. With Scalia’s death, the Obama Administration or a future Hillary Clinton Administration has a green door to confiscate guns, flood the country with illegals and wreck the Constitution,” he writes. As we reported earlier, suspicion surrounding the circumstances of Scalia’s death continues to build, with a poll showing 79% of over 40,000 respondents believing there was foul play. In a related development, William O. Ritchie, former head of criminal investigations for D.C. police, wrote that he was “stunned that no autopsy was ordered for Justice Scalia”. “How can the Marshal say, without a thorough post mortem, that he was not injected with an illegal substance that would simulate a heart attack,” asked Ritchie. “Did the US Marshal check for petechial hemorrhage in his eyes or under his lips that would have suggested suffocation? Did the US Marshal smell his breath for any unusual odor that might suggest poisoning? My gut tells me there is something fishy going on in Texas.”

(a) If the cause of death shall be determined beyond a reasonable doubt as a result of the investigation, the medical examiner shall file a report thereof setting forth specifically the cause of death with the district attorney or criminal district attorney, or in a county in which there is no district attorney or criminal district attorney with the county attorney, of the county in which the death occurred. If in the opinion of the medical examiner an autopsy is necessary, or if such is requested by the district attorney or criminal district attorney, or county attorney where there is no district attorney or criminal district attorney, the autopsy shall be immediately performed by the medical examiner or a duly authorized deputy. In those cases where a complete autopsy is deemed unnecessary by the medical examiner to ascertain the cause of death, the medical examiner may perform a limited autopsy involving the taking of blood samples or any other samples of body fluids, tissues or organs, in order to ascertain the cause of death or whether a crime has been committed. In the case of a body of a human being whose identity is unknown, the medical examiner may authorize such investigative and laboratory tests and processes as are required to determine its identity as well as the cause of death. In performing an autopsy the medical examiner or authorized deputy may use the facilities of any city or county hospital within the county or such other facilities as are made available. Upon completion of the autopsy, the medical examiner shall file a report setting forth the findings in detail with the office of the district attorney or criminal district attorney of the county, or if there is no district attorney or criminal district attorney, with the county attorney of the county.

(b) A medical examination on an unidentified person shall include the following information to enable a timely and accurate identification of the person:

(1) all available fingerprints and palm prints;

(2) dental charts and radiographs (X-rays) of the person's teeth;

(3) frontal and lateral facial photographs with scale indicated;

(4) notation and photographs, with scale indicated, of a significant scar, mark, tattoo, or item of clothing or other personal effect found with or near the body;

(5) notation of antemortem medical conditions;

(6) notation of observations pertinent to the estimation of time of death; and

(7) precise documentation of the location of burial of the remains.

(c) A medical examination on an unidentified person may include the following information to enable a timely and accurate identification of the person:

(1) full body radiographs (X-rays); and

(2) hair specimens with roots.

Sec. 10. DISINTERMENTS AND CREMATIONS. When a body upon which an inquest ought to have been held has been interred, the medical examiner may cause it to be disinterred for the purpose of holding such inquest.

Before any body, upon which an inquest is authorized by the provisions of this Article, can be lawfully cremated, an autopsy shall be performed thereon as provided in this Article, or a certificate that no autopsy was necessary shall be furnished by the medical examiner. Before any dead body can be lawfully cremated, the owner or operator of the crematory shall demand and be furnished with a certificate, signed by the medical examiner of the county in which the death occurred showing that an autopsy was performed on said body or that no autopsy thereon was necessary. It shall be the duty of the medical examiner to determine whether or not, from all the circumstances surrounding the death, an autopsy is necessary prior to issuing a certificate under the provisions of this section. No autopsy shall be required by the medical examiner as a prerequisite to cremation in case death is caused by the pestilential diseases of Asiatic cholera, bubonic plague, typhus fever, or smallpox. All certificates furnished to the owner or operator of a crematory by any medical examiner, under the terms of this Article, shall be preserved by such owner or operator of such crematory for a period of two years from the date of the cremation of said body. A medical examiner is not required to perform an autopsy on the body of a deceased person whose death was caused by a communicable disease during a public health disaster.

Sec. 10a. WAITING PERIOD BETWEEN DEATH AND CREMATION. The body of a deceased person shall not be cremated within 48 hours after the time of death as indicated on the regular death certificate, unless the death certificate indicates death was caused by the pestilential diseases of Asiatic cholera, bubonic plague, typhus fever, or smallpox, or unless the time requirement is waived in writing by the county medical examiner or, in counties not having a county medical examiner, a justice of the peace. In a public health disaster, the commissioner of public health may designate other communicable diseases for which cremation within 48 hours of the time of death is authorized.

Sec. 10b. DISPOSAL OF UNIDENTIFIED BODY. If the body of a deceased person is unidentified, a person may not cremate or direct the cremation of the body under this article. If the body is buried, the investigating agency responsible for the burial shall record and maintain for not less than 10 years all information pertaining to the body and the location of burial.

Sec. 11. RECORDS.

(a) The medical examiner shall keep full and complete records properly indexed, giving the name if known of every person whose death is investigated, the place where the body was found, the date, the cause and manner of death, and shall issue a death certificate. The full report and detailed findings of the autopsy, if any, shall be a part of the record. Copies of all records shall promptly be delivered to the proper district, county, or criminal district attorney in any case where further investigation is advisable. The records may not be withheld, subject to a discretionary exception under Chapter 552, Government Code, except that a photograph or x-ray of a body taken during an autopsy is excepted from required public disclosure in accordance with Chapter 552, Government Code, but is subject to disclosure:

(1) under a subpoena or authority of other law; or

(2) if the photograph or x-ray is of the body of a person who died while in the custody of law enforcement.

(b) Under the exception to public disclosure provided by Subsection (a), a governmental body as defined by Section 552.003, Government Code, may withhold a photograph or x-ray described by Subsection (a) without requesting a decision from the attorney general under Subchapter G, Chapter 552, Government Code. This subsection does not affect the required disclosure of a photograph or x-ray under Subsection (a)(1) or (2).

Sec. 12. TRANSFER OF DUTIES OF JUSTICE OF PEACE. When the commissioners court of any county shall establish the office of medical examiner, all powers and duties of justices of the peace in such county relating to the investigation of deaths and inquests shall vest in the office of the medical examiner. Any subsequent General Law pertaining to the duties of justices of the peace in death investigations and inquests shall apply to the medical examiner in such counties as to the extent not inconsistent with this Article, and all laws or parts of laws otherwise in conflict herewith are hereby declared to be inapplicable to this Article.

Sec. 13. USE OF FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGIST. On discovering the body or body part of a deceased person in the circumstances described by Subdivision 3(B) of Section 6(a), the medical examiner may request the aid of a forensic anthropologist in the examination of the body or body part. The forensic anthropologist must hold a doctoral degree in anthropology with an emphasis in physical anthropology. The forensic anthropologist shall attempt to establish whether the body or body part is of a human or animal, whether evidence of childbirth, injury, or disease exists, and the sex, race, age, stature, and physical anomalies of the body or body part. The forensic anthropologist may also attempt to establish the cause, manner, and time of death.

Sec. 13A. FEES. (a) A medical examiner may charge reasonable fees for services provided by the office of medical examiner under this article, including cremation approvals, court testimonies, consultations, and depositions.

(b) The commissioners court must approve the amount of the fee before the fee may be assessed. The fee may not exceed the amount necessary to provide the services described by Subsection (a).

(c) The fee may not be assessed against the county's district attorney or a county office.

Sec. 14. PENALTY. (a) A person commits an offense if the person knowingly violates this article.

(b) An offense under this section is a Class B misdemeanor.

1,200-mile-long storm stretches across 17 Eastern states causing more than 2,000 car accidents and nearly 2,000 flight cancellations

Storm has ravaged 17 states from Maine to Georgia, causing crashes and pile-ups

North Carolina had 1,500 car accidents in less than 24 hours; Virginia had 500

Sub-zero temperatures shattered rail tracks in Boston

Four deaths were confirmed, including one in Virginia, when a 63-year-old man's SUV collided with a snowplow

Tornadoes were also sighted, with buildings destroyed in Mississippi

Some 8,734 plane flights were also delayed, and 1,812 cancelled, due to the extreme weather

Follows the coldest Valentine's Day on record, when temperatures plunged as low as minus 40 in New Hampshire

The other three happened in a massive crash on the I-78 in Pennsylvania that saw 64 vehicles collide on Saturday

By Associated Press and Hannah Parry For Dailymail.com and James Wilkinson For Daily Mail Online Published: 13:01 EST, 15 February 2016 | Updated: 09:06 EST, 16 February 2016

The coldest Valentine's Day on record was just a prelude to something far worse: a fearsome, 1,200-mile-long storm that caused widespread destruction across 17 states, causing more than 2,000 car accidents within just 24 hours. The dangerous combination of snow, ice and rain, swept up from the Carolinas on Monday, wreaking havoc on roads packed with drivers trying to get home on Presidents' Day, with North Carolina registering an astounding 1,500 car accidents, according to ABC News. Virginia's Department of Transportation sent out nearly 2,500 trucks to treat and clear roads, but there were still 500 accidents in the state, including one that killed a 63-year-old man whose SUV hit a snowplow. Three others were killed in a 64-vehicle pileup on the I-78 in Pennsylvania on Saturday, bringing the total death count to four. Disasters continued to mount: A crash on Interstate 65 on Sunday in Indiana saw 50 cars piling up, and cars slid off roads in Illinois. In Boston, temperatures dropped to minus nine degrees, causing rail tracks to shatter in the intense cold. Six tornadoes were reported striking Mississippi, said ABC, which had footage of one house that was ripped apart by the wind. Tornado warnings have been issued for later in the night. It wasn't just the ground that was affected — thousands of national and international flights were delayed due to the weather too. More than 1,800 flights had been canceled nationwide and another 8,734 delayed by the storm as of 11pm ET, according to FlightAware. Many states saw inches of snowfall, which turned to sleet and freezing rain causing hazardous road conditions. Looking ahead to Monday night and early Tuesday morning, The Weather Channel was reporting a 'wintry mix' extending from central New England to central Pennsylvania that would change to rain from east to west, particularly near the coast. It also said that the largest amount of snowfall would occur 'from northern Maine southwest along the Canadian border to western New York, northwest Pennsylvania and northeast Ohio.' 'Some ice may linger from northwest North Carolina to western Virginia and other parts of the mid-Atlantic before changing to rain,' it added. The New York City Emergency Management Department issued a travel advisory for Monday and Tuesday, warning residents about potentially slick roads and possible coastal flooding. In Virginia, the state police asked motorists to delay any unnecessary travel until weather conditions could improve. Traffic crashes claimed at least one life, and nearly two dozen disabled vehicles were reported across Virginia. In North Carolina, light freezing rain, sleet and snow caused wrecks and closed schools and businesses. The National Weather Service said the precipitation was light Monday morning, but with temperatures in the 20s, it was freezing immediately on bridges, roads and other surfaces. After record-breaking cold, intensified by gusting winds, gripped the Northeast over the Presidents Day weekend, temperatures at the beginning of the work week on Tuesday were predicted to rise as high as 56 Fahrenheit (13 Celsius) in New York and 53F (12C) in Washington. Mild temperatures were expected to stretch into the weekend. 'This system pushes the Arctic air out of here,' Burke said. Washington's streets today were nearly empty because of the holiday and from the snow coming down in heavy, wet flakes. Neil Emery, 54, a tourist from Nassau, Bahamas, said he, his wife and daughter had been shocked by the bitter cold but were reveling in the snowfall. 'It's very Christmas-y, really,' he said. The cold weather 'is a good excuse for hot chocolates through the day.' Flash flood warnings were issued for Monday for northern Mississippi, which was pounded by heavy rains that also drenched Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. The vast storm stretched to western parts of Pennsylvania and New York, where Buffalo was expected to get more than 12 inches (30 cm) of snow. New England ski resorts, struggling through a relatively warm and snowless winter, may receive up to 5 inches (13 cm) of snow, meteorologist Burke said. Sunday's teeth-chattering temperatures were some of the coldest on record. From New York and Boston to Providence, Rhode Island, and Hartford, Connecticut, temperatures on Sunday morning dipped to as low as minus 40 on Mount Washington in New Hampshire. The National Weather Service said the temperature in New York City's Central Park fell to minus 1, a record low for the date. The last time it was below zero in Central Park was in January 1994. Boston reached minus 9, breaking the record set in 1934 by 6 degrees. It reached minus 16 in Worcester, Massachusetts, breaking the 1979 record of 11 below zero. Providence hit minus 9 and Hartford reached minus 12, also breaking records from 1979. Kevin Taylor, a 49-year-old native of Massachusetts living on the street in Harvard Square, outside Boston, said he had coped with the cold on his own. 'I got a sleeping bag sized tent that protects me from wind and snow. I got a zero degree sleeping bag and fleece blankets,' Taylor said. 'I was born and raised in New England. I'm used to this. It'll start breaking tomorrow.' Others were forced to re-think their Valentine's Day plans. In Philadelphia cars and buildings were left coated in ice after firefighters were called to battle a six-alarm fire in the neighborhood of Frankford. Pictures captured the aftermath of the fire, which remarkably resembled a winter wonderland, as the water required to put out the huge flames was frozen by the cold air. Crews were called to the scene of the fire, which started at Joe's Auto Body repair shop, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. The fire damaged around eight buildings after spreading through the block to Frankford Avenue and the auto shop eventually collapsed alongside another property. The air temperature was in the mid-20s when the fire started before it plunged, causing the water being used to fight the huge flames to freeze over. This actually hampered the efforts of the fire crews, who had to deal with slippery surfaces in addition to everything else. With the water freezing fast, salt trucks were brought in to give firefighters more traction. One firefighter was taken to Temple University Hospital and was in stable condition, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. The nature of the injury is not known. A mother and infant who live nearby were taken to a hospital as a precaution, according to the American Red Cross. In Cambridge, Massachusetts, Kristen Carlson, 25 and her boyfriend Ross Crory, also 25, were adapting their Valentine's Day plans. 'We're going to brunch,' Carlson said. 'We're going rock climbing later. Indoor activities. Tonight we're staying in and cooking dinner.' In Montpelier, Vermont, the overnight temperature hit minus 19, tying a record set in 2003. And South Lincoln, Vermont, recorded 27 below zero. Temperatures were so low in some spots, utilities were knocked out. A frozen regulator left about 400 customers in Connecticut without natural gas service, and officials believe extreme cold in Vermont broke a utility pole, knocking out service to about 1,500. An emergency generator didn't kick in for Sheffield Selectboard Chairman Walter Smith, who said he lost a greenhouse full of about 500 orchids. 'I've got it working now, but it's too late,' he said. On Sunday, officials were concerned by the cold they said was dangerous and could be fatal to those spending too much time outdoors — especially the homeless. Outreach teams brought 105 people into New York shelters, and 288 showed up at hospitals and health facilities, including more than 20 who were brought in for care needed immediately, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said. In Washington, DC, where temperatures hit a milder 14 degrees on Sunday, people gathered for the city's annual Cupid's Undie Run to raise money for charity on Saturday, when temperatures hit 20 degrees.

Are you ready for a Collapse of the U.S Food Supply System and a Coming Food Crisis?

Posted on February 16, 2016 Written by Amy S.

How to prepare for a Global Food Shortage You never ever thought this could happen in America. Well it is, and if you arent’t prepared you could be putting your whole family in jeopard. While you’re at it, think about storing food and some fresh water too. People thing are going to start getting really tough. Not to alarm you, but it won’t be long when you see people fighting over the point of protecting what they have from thieves. In the event of a global food crisis, it is vital to be prepared. The key to preparedness is storing food that is easy to get a hold of, will last for several years or even decades, and is somewhat nutrient-dense. While it is always important to purchase high quality organic foods, in the event of a food crisis it is often essential to exercise your survival skills, which may mean it is hard to come across optimal food sources. List of 17 Essential Foods : 1# Beans and Legumes (beans, peas, and lentils his group also includes chickpeas, baked and refried beans, soy milk, tempeh, and texturized vegetable protein. Legumes are all good sources of fiber, protein, iron, calcium, zinc, and B vitamins, and other nutrients that may prevent cancer and heart disease) 2# Pasta ( pasta is generally eaten with nutrient-dense food partners, such as fiber-filled vegetables and beans, heart healthy fish and monounsaturated oils, antioxidant-rich tomato sauce and protein-packed cheeses, poultry and lean meats. Pasta offers: SUSTAINED ENERGY: Carbohydrates like pasta provide glucose, the crucial fuel for your brain and muscles. Pasta is an excellent source of complex carbohydrates, which provide a slow release of energy. Unlike simple sugars that offer a quick, yet fleeting boost of energy, pasta helps sustain energy) 3# Rice ( Vitamin B : complex group plays various roles in the body’s ability to produce energy. Wild, white and brown rice all contain varying amounts of vitamins B1 through B6. B12 is not found in rice, as it is only produced by animal food sources. Long grain brown rice contains higher amounts of B vitamins than does wild rice or white rice that has not been enriched) 4# Cereals ( Vitamin B12, or Cobalamin, is an essential vitamin necessary for maintenance of the nervous system and for preventing anemia. Commercial cereals are often fortified with Vitamin B12, and these cereals can serve as a good source of Vitamin B12 for vegetarians and vegans. Below is a list of fortified cereals highest in Vitamin B12. These cereals are ranked by 100 gram serving which can be between 1-2 cups of cereal. Calorie information, as well as sugar, carb, fat, and protein is included. When selecting a cereal try to find one which is low in refined sugars, and fats. Eating these cereals with milk, or Vitamin B12 enriched soy milk, can provide even higher levels of Vitamin B12) 5# Bread & Biscuits ( White bread has approximately the same carbohydrate and protein content as wholemeal bread, contains soluble and insoluble dietary fibre, and a good percentage of the whole wheat nutrients. It is made from unbleached flour made from the inner 78% of the wheat grain. If you prefer white bread to wholegrain breads, you can get your extra fibre from other wholegrain foods such as breakfast cereals, wholemeal crackers and biscuits) 6# Cans ( fish, meat, vegetables : Fish High in Vitamin D (%DV per 3oz, cooked): Smoked Salmon (97%), Swordfish (94%), Canned Trout (86%), Salmon (75%), Smoked White Fish (73%), Mackerel (65%), Canned Mackerel (43%), Tuna Canned in Oil (38%), Halibut (33%), Herring (30%), Sardine (27%), Rockfish (26%), Tilapia (21%), Sole & Flounder (20%), and Tuna Steak (12%). Organ meats, barley, egg yolks, milk, chicken , pork also provide biotin) 7# Whole Grains ( When a grain is refined, most of the bran and some of the germ is removed, resulting in losses of fiber, B vitamins, vitamin E, trace minerals, unsaturated fat, and about 75 percent of the phytochemicals. Consuming foods rich in fiber, such as whole grains, as part of overall healthy eating, reduces the risk of coronary heart disease and may reduce constipation) 8# Canned Fruits ( When stocking up on canned produce, watch for sodium and added sugar. Often times, sodium is added to canned goods to help preserve them. Look for low-sodium, reduced-sodium or no-salt-added labeled cans. Additionally, you can drain and rinse canned veggies to reduce the sodium content even more. For fruits, opt for those canned in water over juices or syrups, as these have significantly higher amounts of added sugar. It’s a good source of fibre, as well as some disease-protective phytochemicals and vitamins, though it’s not necessarily as rich in these as fresh fruit) 9# Oils ( Olive oil is mainly comprised of monounsaturated fatty acids. A healthier type of fat, it reduces total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL or “bad”) cholesterol levels in the bloodstream, while raising high-density lipoprotein (HDL or “good”) cholesterol levels. High quality extra virgin olive oil, in particular, provides a high content of antioxidants, like polyphenols, vitamins E & K, chlorophyll and carotenoids. Antioxidants are key to strengthening the immune system and protecting the body from the damaging effects of free-radical molecules. Olive oil contains anti-inflammatory agents, like oleocanthal, that act as a natural ibuprofen-like substance) 10# Seed and Nuts ( Rich in energy, protein, packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and much discussed omega-3 fatty acids, nuts and seeds have it all!. Crunchy yet buttery, wonderfully delicious nuts are wonderful gifts to humankind by mother nature) 11# Seeds ( Sesame Seeds, Rye, Rice – Wild, Sunflower Seeds, Amaranth, Flax Seed, Millet, Oats. There is only one way to derive nutrition from seeds and that is to eat them raw. Once they are exposed to heat, they produce toxic substances and the vitamin, mineral and essential oil profiles are denatured. By roasting a seed, its classification moves from a living food to a dead food. There is no seed on earth that can withstand roasting or heating without breaking down its nutritional components. Always remember, eat seeds naturally…eat them raw. This also means they can be soaked, ground or mashed (i.e. tahini), especially if a seed’s shell or coat is too difficult to pierce with the teeth. – Choose raw and unsalted seeds – Avoid coated or roasted seeds – Avoid sugar coated seeds) 12# Dried Fruits ( Dried fruits are very popular for a multitude of reasons! Eating fruit is associated with improved health and provides many of the essential minerals, vitamins, phytonutrients and fiber that you need every day. Dried fruit doesn’t spoil as quickly and is an easy snack to pack, especially for activities like hiking) 13# Honey ( Hence, honey is a source of carbohydrates, containing * 80% natural sugar — mostly fructose and glucose. Due to the high level of fructose,honey is sweeter than table sugar. * 18% water. The less water content the honey has, the better the quality of honey. * 2% minerals, vitamins, pollen and protein. The vitamins present in honey are B6, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid and certain amino acids. The minerals found in honey include calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and zinc. I learnt that “conductivity” is an indirect way of measuring the mineral content of a honey. Manuka honey has a higher than normal conductivity — about 4 times that of normal flower honeys. The higher the conductivity, the better the value of the honey. Also, one of the most encouraging honey nutrition facts – this natural sweetener hasantioxidants and is free of fat and cholesterol) 14# Salt ( The favorite choice for the term “Salt” is 1 dash of Salt which has no vitamin C. The percent daily values of Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Calcium and Iron) 15# Vinegar ( Vinegar is made in a two-step process, related to how alcohol is made The first step exposes crushed apples (or apple cider) to yeast, which ferment the sugars and turn them into alcohol. In the second step, bacteria are added to the alcohol solution, which further ferment the alcohol and turn it into acetic acid… the main active compound in vinegar. In French, the word “vinegar” actually means “sour wine.”Organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegar (like Bragg’s) also contains “mother,” strands of proteins, enzymes and friendly bacteria that give the product a murky, cobweb-like appearance) 16# Vitamins ( RIBOFLAVIN (vitamin B2) Helps convert food into energy. Needed for healthy skin, hair, blood, and brain, NIACIN (vitamin B3, nicotinic acid) Helps convert food into energy. Essential for healthy skin, blood cells, brain, and nervous system, PANTOTHENICACID (vitamin B5) Helps convert food into energy. Helps make lipids (fats), neurotransmitters, steroid hormones, and hemoglobin ) 17# Water ( Increases Energy & Relieves Fatigue – Since your brain is mostly water, drinking it helps you think, focus and concentrate better and be more alert. As an added bonus, your energy levels are also boosted )

Justice Scalia and the War on Terror

How to interpret the Constitution’s directives in regard to fighting America's war with Islamists?

February 17, 2016 Michael Finch

America suffered a great loss with the passing of Justice Antonin Scalia last weekend. While a great many Americans mourn his passing, for conservatives and defenders of our Constitution, the loss is particularly devastating. In the coming weeks, conservatives will be lauding his legal prowess and his positions and views on a great number of issues. Scalia was a stalwart defender of the Constitutional on a great number of issues that are deemed critical in the conservative lexicon, including abortion, the Second Amendment, religious liberty, and individual freedom, among others. Yet there remains one key area of jurisprudence that we have not heard much about in the past few days which is just as important: how to interpret the Constitution’s directives in regard to fighting the War on Terror, or perhaps we can say, in the words of Justice Scalia himself, America’s war with radical Islamists. Interesting, that one of the great Justices in American history could say in just a few words what our current President has not been able to bring himself to say in the past seven years. A number of cases have been decided over the past few years that give us a clear insight into Justice Scalia’s thinking about the war we are engaged in and what the Constitution says about how we can fight that war. Scalia clearly considered this issue important; he dealt with it further in his speeches and writings, considering the nature of the war and what America must do to win. Just highlighting a few of these examples gives us a clear picture of Scalia’s brilliant cognition on America’s adherence to the Constitution in a time of war. In the 2008 case of Boumediene v. Bush, the majority decided that terrorism suspects being held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, had the right to seek their release in federal court. Justice Scalia delivered a scathing dissent saying that for the first time the Supreme Court was conferring constitutional rights to non-Americans. The decision, Scalia wrote, would cost American lives: "The game of bait-and-switch that today's opinion plays upon the Nation's Commander in Chief will make the war harder on us. It will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed. That consequence would be tolerable if necessary to preserve a time-honored legal principle vital to our constitutional Republic. But it is this Court's blatant abandonment of such a principle that produces the decision today." In a speech Justice Scalia made at the University of Freiberg in Switzerland in 2006, he remarked while speaking on the War on Terror: "War is war, and it has never been the case that when you capture a combatant, you have to give him a jury trial in your civil courts. It's a crazy idea to me. … If he was captured by my army on the battlefield that is where he belongs. I had a son on that battlefield and they were shooting at my son. And I am not about to give this man -- captured in war -- a full jury trial, that is just crazy." The potential use of torture has been one of the most contentious issues in the conduct of the War on Terror and Justice Scalia’s remarks on this topic did nothing to quiet the controversy. The Left went apoplectic in its response to Scalia’s remarks below, but what we see is a brilliant legal mind thinking through a real life issue that has confronted us in profound and new ways in the War on Terror. In that same speech at the University of Freiberg, Scalia stated: “We have laws against torture. The Constitution itself says nothing about torture. The Constitution speaks of punishment. If you condemn someone who has committed a crime to torture, that would be unconstitutional.” As even a leftist legal scholar must admit, this makes perfect sense under the strict reading of the Eighth Amendment's prohibition of "cruel and unusual punishment.” And what about using torture to obtain information? “We have never held that to be contrary to the Constitution. I don't see any article of the Constitution that would contravene—listen, I think it's very facile for people to say, "Oh, torture is terrible." You posit the situation where a person that you know for sure knows the location of a nuclear bomb that has been planted in Los Angeles and will kill millions of people. You think it's an easy question? You think it's clear that you cannot use extreme measures to get that information out of that person?” Looking at just these few instances, what do we see? Instead of making a knee-jerk legal opinion on an issue because of public perception or popular opinion, we can see the mind of Justice Scalia working, balancing the issue in a serious way, submitting it against the strict, originalist meaning of the Constitution and considering how it applies to the urgent real life situations that our military and intelligence officers often face. Why is this important now? Whoever takes Justice Scalia’s place on the Court must not just be a defender of liberty and the Second Amendment, be protective of religious liberty, and be an originalist in terms of opposing canards such as a constitutional right to privacy that the Left has created out of thin air. The next Supreme Court Justice must also have Scalia’s understanding of how America can fight and win this war and do so, all the while respecting and abiding by the Constitution. If Obama gets his way, he will surely nominate a leftist juror. And as can be seen in a great number of recently decided cases, this will move the entire court to a position in which it will hamstring the abilities of our military, intelligence services, and future Commander-in-Chief’s ability to do that which is necessary to fight, and to win.

Butchered remains of 100 prisoners and visitors found stuffed inside drain pipes at notorious Colombian jails

Body parts were found in several prisons in Colombia THE dismembered remains of at least 100 prisoners and visitors have been found stuffed inside drain pipes at notorious Colombian jails. Many of the remains were found at La Modelo jail in Bogota, which is considered one of the most dangerous prisons in the world and houses drug traffickers, Marxist rebels and paramilitaries. Body parts were also found in jails in the cities of Popayan, Bucaramanga and Barranquilla, said Caterina Heyck, an investigator at the attorney general's office. "The number of victims is unknown, but we know it's over 100 and could be considerably higher," Heyck said. "Remains of prisoners, visitors and others were thrown in the drainage system," she added.

Russian TV Trashed Michelle Obama Last Night

New documentary series seeks to expose 'American corruption' and targets Obamas

By Mikhail Klikushin • 02/18/16 9:45am

On Sunday, Russian TV host Dmitry Kiselyov, who enjoys the largest audience among news programs in Russia, announced in his prime-time program News of the Week the launch of a new documentary, whose goal would be to expose corruption in the U.S.—as opposed to the familiar story in Russian he’s sick and tired of talking about. “This is not fair—to forget about American corruption,” he declared, “about how they get fat on the money of American taxpayers there.” The title of the film—Emperor Obama—says it all, but the trailer, lasting more than 10 minutes, was shown anyway. The first victim of attack was the American first lady. “The information on our clients is strictly confidential,” says the Villa Padierna hotel manager to a young and beautiful female reporter. “But I can confirm that Michelle Obama really stayed in our hotel. She was our most famous guest. Since then, we named one of our villas after her. Villa Obama has three floors, two bedrooms, one swimming pool and a big living room—here is Villa Obama.” “On the fourth of August 2010,” the manager continues, as the beautiful young reporter walks around the luxurious and spacious rooms, “the U.S. president celebrated his 49th birthday, and the very same day his spouse, Michelle Obama, arrived for her vacation in Spain. Here is her room.” Not ceremoniously, the reporter touches the silk sheets and very rare travertine marble. “Here are the official numbers: for the week starting August 4, 131,000 Americans were fired, losing their incomes and jobs. At that moment, Michelle Obama was on vacation, and the taxpayers were paying $6,000 a night for this hotel suit.” Then, the first lady is shown walking outside out in the Spanish heat. “Michelle! Michelle!” thunders the crowd. The reporter continues: “Michelle Obama and her 9-year-old daughter Sasha were accompanied by their personnel and secret agents, by 250 specially hired Spanish bodyguards and 68 bodyguards brought from the U.S. As the American first lady eats ice cream, the street in Spanish Granada is totally blocked. Ms. Obama flew in on her husband’s airplane—plane No. 2, a Bowing-747—according to protocol, which transports the American president while plane number one goes through technical maintenance. At $11,000 per hour, Michelle’s flight from Washington, D.C., to the Spanish Malaga cost the US $150,000. The U.S. Air Force was sued for Michelle’s unlawful vacation—and for the fifth year, the lawsuit drags on without any resolution.” Facing the sunset and obviously having had a good time in Spain herself, the reporter doesn’t want to let the topic of Ms. Obama’s vacations finish too quickly: “The 44th American president goes on vacation twice a year—in the summer and during Christmas. Over the seven years of his presidency, American taxpayers spent between $10 million and $74 million a year on vacations for the first American family. To understand how such unbelievable expenses accumulate, the cost for only the plane and the bodyguards when Mr. Obama flew his family to Hawaii, in 2014, was $5,316,000.”Did you hear what happened in Flint, Mich.?” An American analyst steps into the video, “where the whole town was poisoned? Kids, pregnant women…How much money did he spend on his vacations, you say? $74 million? But he gave Flint only $5 million— $5 million to the poisoned people…as much as the launch of two military drones!” At this point, the cover of the book by Michelle Malkin, Culture of Corruption, is shown to viewers—providing an idea as to the development of the story awaiting Russian TV viewers on Wednesday night.

The Bible Mississippi's New State Book?

02-18-2016

Two Mississippi Democratic lawmakers want to make the Bible the offical book of the state. Mississippi state Reps. Michael Evans, D-Preston, and Tom Miles, D-Forest, proposed a bill in January that would make the Bible the official state book. Evans told Alabama Local News the idea originated from a conversation he had had with his colleagues about how to combat the sobering events taking place around the world. "The bill doesn't force anyone to read it," Evans, who is a Christian said. He and Rep. Miles said instead it would only encourage residents to read the Bible. "We're not requiring anyone to go out and buy the Bible. We're not requiring anyone to read the Bible," Miles told The Christian Post. Miles also added the bill would "not be considered controversial given the legislature voted a couple years ago to add 'In God We Trust' to its state seal." The bill making the Bible a state book, also known as HB 840, has faced opposition. Similar measures was previously introduced to Mississippi, Tennessee, and Louisiana but was never passed. However, the American Civil Liberties Union in Mississippi charges that the effort violates the First Amendment. "It fails to recognize the diversity of Mississippi residents. Lawmakers should not be promoting policies that divide Mississippians along religious lines," ACLU director of communications Zaklya Summers-Harlee said. The group plans to challenge the bill if it makes progress. But not all Christians are on board with the idea either. President of the Southern Evangelical Seminary Dr. Richard Land told The Christian Post he opposes the bill for a different reason. For those who are Christians, one can't be neutral about the Bible. The Bible, for many Americans, is sacred text. It is the Holy Scripture. If you try to approach it as just a historical book. That is not neutral. To me, that degrades the status of Scripture," Land said.

Secret Memo Details U.S.’s Broader Strategy to Crack Phones

By Michael Riley Jordan Robertson February 19, 2016 — 5:00 AM EST

Silicon Valley celebrated last fall when the White House revealed it would not seek legislation forcing technology makers to install “backdoors” in their software -- secret listening posts where investigators could pierce the veil of secrecy on users’ encrypted data, from text messages to video chats. But while the companies may have thought that was the final word, in fact the government was working on a Plan B. In a secret meeting convened by the White House around Thanksgiving, senior national security officials ordered agencies across the U.S. government to find ways to counter encryption software and gain access to the most heavily protected user data on the most secure consumer devices, including Apple Inc.’s iPhone, the marquee product of one of America’s most valuable companies, according to two people familiar with the decision. The approach was formalized in a confidential National Security Council “decision memo,” tasking government agencies with developing encryption workarounds, estimating additional budgets and identifying laws that may need to be changed to counter what FBI Director James Comey calls the “going dark” problem: investigators being unable to access the contents of encrypted data stored on mobile devices or traveling across the Internet. Details of the memo reveal that, in private, the government was honing a sharper edge to its relationship with Silicon Valley alongside more public signs of rapprochement. On Tuesday, the public got its first glimpse of what those efforts may look like when a federal judge ordered Apple to create a special tool for the FBI to bypass security protections on an iPhone 5c belonging to one of the shooters in the Dec. 2 terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California that killed 14 people. Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook has vowed to fight the order, calling it a “chilling” demand that Apple “hack our own users and undermine decades of security advancements that protect our customers.” The order was not a direct outcome of the memo but is in line with the broader government strategy. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Wednesday that the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice have the Obama administration’s “full” support in the matter. The government is “not asking Apple to redesign its product or to create a new backdoor to their products,” but rather are seeking entry “to this one device,” he said. Security specialists say the case carries enormous consequences, for privacy and the competitiveness of U.S. businesses, and that the National Security Council directive, which has not been previously reported, shows that technology companies underestimated the resolve of the U.S. government to access encrypted data. “My sense is that people have over-read what the White House has said on encryption,” said Robert Knake, a senior fellow at the Council of Foreign Relations who formerly served as White House Director of Cybersecurity Policy. “They said they wouldn’t seek to legislate ‘backdoors’ in these technologies. They didn’t say they wouldn’t try to access the data in other ways.” “Backdoors” refer to security holes that are intentionally inserted into software to create the equivalent of a skeleton key for law enforcement -- what wiretapping systems are for telephone lines, for instance. The problem with backdoors in computer networks is they create vulnerabilities for any hacker to find. What the court is ordering Apple to do, security experts say, does not require the company to crack its own encryption, which the company says it cannot do in any case. Instead, the order requires Apple to create a piece of software that takes advantage of a capability that Apple alone possesses to modify the permanently installed “firmware” on iPhones and iPads, changing it so that investigators can try unlimited guesses at the terror suspect’s PIN code with high-powered computers. Once investigators get the PIN, they get the data. Knake said that the Justice Department’s narrowly crafted request shows both that FBI technical experts possess a deep understanding of the way Apple’s security systems work and that they have identified potential vulnerabilities that can provide access to data the company has previously said it can’t get. In this case, the government wants Apple’s help in exploiting such weaknesses. But experts say they could find ways to do it themselves, and the NSC “decision memo” could lead to more money and legal authorization for a smorgasbord of similar workarounds. National Security Council spokesman Mark Stroh declined to comment on the memo. But he provided a statement from a senior Obama administration official: “We should not preemptively conclude that technical and policy options to address this challenge are out of reach. While creating mechanisms for accessing encrypted information does create vulnerabilities, there may be technical and process steps that can be implemented to limit such risks.” The memo was approved by the NSC’s Deputies Committee, according to the people familiar with it. While the deputies’ committee changes depending on the subject matter, it typically includes at least a dozen sub-cabinet level officials, among them the deputy attorney general, the vice chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, and the deputy national security adviser. Such memos can have lasting impact. A similar decision memo was used in the early years of the Iraq war to address the problem of Improvised Explosive Devices, which were then killing hundreds of U.S servicemen. The response ultimately led to new anti-IED technology and expanded intelligence capabilities to disrupt the cells building and planting the bombs. Silicon Valley and Washington have had a decades-long distrust of each other over encryption, stemming from a failed Clinton administration push in the 1990s for a government backdoor in telecommunications networks. In that case, the National Security Agency developed a technology called the Clipper Chip, which the White House approved as a government standard. Security experts assailed it as insecure and a violation of privacy. Security experts say the U.S.’s insistence on finding ways to tap into encrypted data comes in direct conflict with consumers’ growing demands for privacy. “The government’s going to have to get over it,” said Ken Silva, former technical director of the National Security Agency and currently a vice president at Ionic Security Inc., an Atlanta-based data security company. “We had this fight 20 years ago. While I respect the job they have to do and I know how hard the job is, the privacy of that information is very important to people.” In addition to the demands against Apple, the FBI will almost certainly seek more money and expanded legal authorization to track suspects and access encrypted data, without the involvement of companies that make the technologies, several experts say. Intelligence services already have sophisticated tools for cracking encryption, and the White House’s efforts will likely lead to broader use of those techniques across the government, even in ordinary criminal investigations that don’t involve foreign intelligence or national security. The workarounds could involve trying to force companies like Apple to develop their own tools to help law enforcement or enlisting government hackers to find previously unknown software vulnerabilities that enable the decryption of large amounts of data flowing across networks. Apple infuriated law enforcement when it announced in 2014 that it would encrypt data stored on users’ iPhones and iPads with a PIN code that the company could not access, even if ordered to by a judge. Prior to that decision, the FBI and local police agencies routinely sent seized devices to Apple to extract data relevant to their investigations. To security experts, creating hacking tools -- capabilities to gain access to encrypted data -- is simply a matter of money and focused effort. “My guess is you could spend a few million dollars and get a capability against Android, spend a little more and get a capability against the iPhone. For under $10 million, you might have capabilities that will work across the board,” said Jason Syversen, a former manager of advanced cyber security programs at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and now the CEO and co-founder of Siege Technologies in Manchester, New Hampshire. This week’s federal court order undermines years of effort by Apple to design a system that makes accessing encrypted data impossible without the participation of the phone’s legitimate user. Company officials appeared to believe the enhanced encryption would remove Apple from the efforts of any government to sabotage the security of their customers. Instead, federal agents have detailed in a public document several ways in which that encryption can be bypassed. “Apple has two options now: They can go back to the judge and say this isn’t possible. Or they can service the warrant,” said James Lewis, a senior cyber security fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. “I don’t think they can say it’s not possible, because it looks like it is.”

Why Was A Completely 'Blacked Out' Military Chopper Sitting In The Median Strip On A Texas Highway After 3:30 A.M.? AliPac Head Warns: A Form Of Martial Law Happening Now!

February 18, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

The two latest SQAlert's from February 18th continue a pattern that we have been made aware of by our readers who have been emailing pictures, videos and story leads to tips@allnewspipeline.com . While the 1st alert warns us of a completely blacked-out military helicopter sitting in the median strip of a highway in Texas sometime after 3:30 a.m. in the morning, the 2nd alert tells us why that chopper may have been there. We have also been receiving many reports from ANP readers of people seeing military helicopters flying over their houses, neighborhoods, towns and cities recently and have included several of those photographs in this story. The photo at the top and the one directly below are from the Orlando, Florida area from an ANP reader and show a Chinook flying at about 400'. Why so many military choppers over America recently? While we are unable to confirm that these choppers are tied to the 1st video below, in the video the head of AliPac warns us that a form of martial law is happening in America now. As most have asked, why is a military chopper sitting along I-10 after 3:30 a.m. under the cover of darkness? The full alert is republished below but one Steve Quayle reader had a great possible answer; President Dwight Eisenhower created the interstate system, based largely upon what he witnessed in Germany during World War II and Hitler's 'autobahn'. Hitler used his 'autobahn' as a way for the military to be able to quickly get from one location to another and for the military to have emergency landing strips if necessary as seen in the very interesting 3rd video below. We know that our military has great interest in our highway system. Is that what the trucker witnessed in Texas, an emergency landing, or something else entirely? We learn that the US military was heavily involved in the building of our highway system.: special military vehicles and highway construction equipment were also included in the test. Over the 25-month period, Transportation Corps trucks and crews drove 25-35 mph over 17 million miles on the six test loops. The importance of the Interstate for military transport was critical. The Department of Defense closely monitored all phases of the testing. During World War I, roads throughout the country were nearly destroyed by the weight of military trucks. During World War II, 13% of the defense plants received all their supplies by truck, and almost all other plants shipped more than half of their products by vehicle. Also discovered was a bewildering array of standards - some states allowed trucks up to 36,000 pounds, while others restricted anything over 7,000 pounds. Whether or not this chopper landed for emergency reasons or not, we can confirm an uptick in military chopper traffic across the country and while some may call this 'normal military movement', there is nothing at all 'normal' about what is happening to the US and global economies nor is there anything 'normal' about what is now unfolding in Syria. With an uptick in military air traffic across America, are we witnessing preparation for war upon US soil? ISIS? Economic collapse and martial law? In the videos below we take a look at several different reasons for the continued preparation across America including the 1st video below featuring the head of AliPac, William Gheen, who talks about the current state of America and tells us that a 'form of martial law' is happening in America right now. In the 2nd video below from Gary Franchi of the Next News Network, he takes a look at an Obama decision to CUT counter-terror spending by nearly $300 million dollars, this at a time when ISIS is threatening to attack the US and Obama continues to allow practically anybody into the country who wants to come here. Why would this now be happening? The following comments on Franchi's video give us the likely answers.: Rick Hunt The public will be begging for a police state when he's done, this is a well thought out plan. Rick Hunt Even things like Scalia's death they leak little bits of info to make people think maybe there was foul play, that keeps people against the elites plan scared and in check, they didn't have to say anything about the pillow and nobody would have questioned, its all by design. RebornThroughHate Well, Obama wants to invite thousands of radical Muslims, cut down free speech that would prevent public anti-Muslim opinion, and lower the anti-terrorist measures. I think I see where he is going with this. Steven Marc +Rick Hunt even is your statement is true it is no mystery that the people are being taxed to death & rules & regulation galore are oppressing the citizens while illegals allowed in by the federal gov. For many reasons to enslave us all! The bigger picture is beyond scalia & now all nobama's legislation can go through it will crush the freedoms of us all here in America!!! Nobama is a megalomaniac he makes Hitler look like a Sunday school teacher at some corrupt church!!!! Why would a completely blacked out military chopper be sitting on a highway with all light off after 3:30 a.m? The photograph above shows us a Hercules C-130 landing on the autobahn in Germany during previous military drills there. Certainly the 2nd alert below offers us a quite logical explanation; maybe someone had an emergency and had to set his bird down. Then again, there might be something else all together and as we also learn in the 2nd SQAlert below, road widening is going on 'en masse' in Connecticut. Is this in preparation for something massive on US soil? MILITARY HELICOPTER PARKED ON HIGHWAY CENTER MEDIAN-TEXAS-"Did i just makeout a helicopter in the gap of the median???? All blacked out with all its lights off? WTH was it doing here"? Steve today i saw one of the most perplexing and ominous things i have ever seen on my way to work this morning. I live in Houston. I frequently drive to San Antonio weekly. I leave the warehouse anywhere between 3:30am and 3:45am, hitting i-10 west en route to San Antonio. As i got about 80 miles west of Houston and about 30 miles east of Bastrop, a thick, dark and ominous fog fell BELOW tree level on the landscape, making for virtually ZERO degree visibility. I decreased speed of my 18 wheeler from 65mph to a rolling speed of between 45 & 47mph. I kept my head on a constant 360 degree swivel for safety precautions to avoid any unforseen stopped vehicles i could possibly collide with. As i alertly scoured the ominously dark landscape (that of which was visible) my eyes were strangely fixed on the center median which seperated eastbound from westbound traffic. Here i could vaguely makeout the distinct outline of trees which line the scape of the median..all succeeding one another in a straight line. It was at that moment something caught my attention PROFOUNDLY. Did i just makeout a helicopter in the gap of the median???? All blacked out with all its lights off? WTH was it doing here?? It wasn't a medi-vac. What was it for?? I instantly became overwhelmed with fear and thus began to pray for the Lord to issue a hedge of protection around me and all other travelers on the highway. I was curious to know if you've heard of any reports such as this..as I've NEVER seen a bird parked on a highway COMPLETELY blacked out and under the cover of complete darkness and dense fog. I'm concerned about what may be up their sleeve now. They could get away with ANYTHING under the cover of darkness and no one would ever know what happened. Thanks for reading. Always praying for yours and your family and friends' safety. D.J. Remember, Eisenhower created the interstate system as a way for the military to be able to quickly get to place to place and for the military to have emergency landing strips... Mr Quayle, about your note in the black jack on the highway median, here in CT, over the course of the last 6-9 months almost every flat, smooth "median terrain" with an area large and streight enough area of EVERY interstate has been removed of trees and and re-landscaped to be as free of brush and other debri as possible, even at the places on the interstate with little travel. As real estate title searcher in CT I have to drive from town to town through out CT everyday for work, there has never been as much road work, lane widening and median clearing as there has been the past 6-9 months...always at long stretches of streight, flat interstate. Remember, Eisenhower created the interstate system as a way for the military to be able to quickly get to place to place and for the military to have emergency landing strips... this is the only explanation that makes sense...

A leaked report from Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Agency reveals refugees committed over 200,000 crimes between 2014 and 2015. The report is only supposed to be seen by police and other government employees, but it ended up in the hands of Bild, a German newspaper, Deutsche Welle reports. What the document shows primarily is that refugees are responsible for 208,344 crimes. A total of 32 percent of those crimes were related to asset or fraud offenses, and another 33 percent were due to theft. Of the total number of crimes, only 1 percent, or 1,688, had anything to do with sexual offenses. There were 458 cases of serious sexual assault, which includes either rape or coercion. Not all ethnic groups were equal in the amount of crimes committed. Viewed proportionally, there were more offenders from Eritrea, Nigeria and countries from the Balkans like Serbia and Albania. In absolute numbers, Syrians committed 24 percent of refugee crimes, but Serbs only comprised 2 percent of the refugee population and managed to account for an incredible 13 percent of crimes. Bild noted, however, the report did not include the reported cases of sexual assault in Cologne on New Year’s Eve, skewing the data slightly. The 446 alleged sexual assaults on New Year’s Eve threw Germany into an uproar, mostly because of accusations that the German government collaborated with the media to downplay the incident. Of particular note, following the assaults, Cologne Mayor Henriette Reker put the onus on females who were assault and suggested women should abide by a code of conduct to avoid future assaults. Due to crime rates and generally undesirable behavior, tensions over importing over a million refugees were high, and the assaults in Cologne, committed mostly by Arabs and North Africans, pushed ordinary Germans over the edge. A recent poll indicated that 40 percent of Germans want Chancellor Angela Merkel to resign due to her poor handling of the refugee crisis. She has admitted Europe has totally lost control of the situation. Follow Jonah Bennett on Twitter.

Don’t Trust “Gold-Backed” COMEX Funds; Take Physical Possession of Your Gold (Video)

February 16, 2016 by Samuel Bryan

Kyle Bass, a well-known hedge fund manager who profitably shorted the subprime mortgage crisis, strongly believes gold investors should take physical possession of their precious metals. Speaking about his role as a fiduciary board member for the University of Texas Investment Management Company (UTIMCO), Bass explained last year why he advised UTIMCO to take physical possession of its nearly $1 billion worth of gold bars held in COMEX vaults. Bass’ comments are particularly important given the newfound love for gold in the mainstream media that we’ve been reporting. Many investors assume that buying a gold Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) on the COMEX is the same as investing in the physical metal, because such funds are “backed” by physical gold. Even Jim Cramer, who has recently come around to gold, actually advises buying paper gold instruments, rather than the real thing. But Bass shattered the illusion of the so-called “gold backing” of these funds: The COMEX at the time had about $80 billion of open interest between futures and future options. In the warehouse, they had $2.7 billion of deliverables. So 80 billion of open interest; 2.7 billion in deliverables. We’re going to own it a long time. You’re on the board, you’re a fiduciary, what do you do? That’s an easy one. You go get it.” The closest Bass gets to directly criticizing paper gold investments is when he describes his experience of auditing the vault where UTIMCO’s gold was held. He discovered that rather than a neat stack of about 1,600 bars of gold, their gold was scattered throughout the vault in multiple locations, a few bars here, a few bars there. Bass said, “It’s an interesting concept.” No kidding. So did UTIMCO take Bass’ advice? You bet. In 2011, it moved its gold from the COMEX vaults to its own vault in New York. However, this wasn’t enough. As we reported last year, the State of Texas is now in the process of creating its own Texas Bullion Depository. When the Depository is finished, UTIMCO will move its gold from New York vaults into its own backyard in Texas. This would be the first state-level facility of its kind and may eventually allow account holders in the Depository to cut checks or use debit cards to transact business by drawing directly on their physical gold holdings. As a precious metals investor, you should be asking yourself – “If the second-largest US academic endowment isn’t confident that its COMEX gold holdings could be delivered in full… What about my significantly smaller personal holdings?” We strongly advise gold and silver buyers to take physical possession of their metals and store them in a private vault facility or home safe. Some may consider gold ETFs to be a type of gold scam. While this isn’t precisely true, paper gold investments can be very suspect, especially if investors are led to believe they’re buying actual, physical bars of gold. Read more about scams like this in our FREE special report: Highlights from the video: “My opinion is very simple. As a fiduciary, which I am in that position [with the University of Texas Investment Management Co.], to the extent that you own gold and are going to own it for a long time – it’s not a trade – it costs us about 90 basis points a year to roll it through financial futures contracts. We went and looked at the COMEX. The COMEX at the time had about $80 billion of open interest between futures and future options. In the warehouse, they had $2.7 billion of deliverables. “So 80 billion of open interest; 2.7 billion in deliverables. We’re going to own it a long time. You’re on the board, you’re a fiduciary, what do you do? That’s an easy one. You go get it. You go take a billion of the 2.7 billion and let them worry about the rest. “When I talked to the head of deliveries for COMEX and IMEX, I said, ‘What if 4% of the people want delivery?’ He says, ‘Oh, Kyle, it never happens. We rarely ever get a 1% delivery.’ I said, ‘What if it does happen?’ He said, ‘Well, price will solve everything.’ I said, ‘Thanks. Give me the gold.’ “Then what was interesting was we conducted an audit of the delivery. What was interesting in the audit was they kind of resisted our audit request on the front end. Then they finally allowed us in. We did a random audit of – we had 1600 bars or something like that, and we just wanted to see 20 or 30 of them. They were all over the place in different venues in the vault. They weren’t segregated. So it’s an interesting concept. The exchange is a fractional reserve exchange and they think price will solve everything. So it was actually an easy decision if you’re a fiduciary.”

Swiss Politicians Slam Attempts To Eliminate Cash, Compare Paper Money To A Gun Defending Freedom

The real reason the war on cash is gearing up now is political

Zero Hedge - February 19, 2016

As we predicted over a year ago, in a world in which QE has failed, and in which the ice-cold grip of NIRP has to be global in order to achieve its intended purpose of forcing savers around the world to spend the taxed product of their labor, one thing has to be abolished: cash. This explains the recent flurry of articles in outlets such as BBG and the FT, and op-eds by such “established” economists as Larry Summers, all advocating the death of cash, a process which would begin by abolishing high denomination bills and continue until all physical cash in circulation is eliminated, something we warned about when the first made it first NIRP hint last September. We were s rather surprised by the candor of a WSJ piece overnight which actually told it how it is: The real reason the war on cash is gearing up now is political: Politicians and central bankers fear that holders of currency could undermine their brave new monetary world of negative interest rates. Japan and Europe are already deep into negative territory, and U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said last week the U.S. should be prepared for the possibility. Translation: That’s where the Fed is going in the next recession. By all means people should be able to go cashless if they like. But it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that the politicians want to bar cash as one more infringement on economic liberty. They may go after the big bills now, but does anyone think they’d stop there? Why wouldn’t they eventually ban all cash transactions much as they banned gold and silver as mediums of exchange? Beware politicians trying to limit the ways you can conduct private economic business. It never turns out well. We were even more surprised when we read that in Switzerland, the place which offers the highest denomination banknote in Europe, the 1,000 Swiss Franc note (and the second highest in the world after the Singapore $10,000 note) two politicians, Philip Brunner and Manuel Brandberg, members of the right-wing Swiss People’s Party, have proposed a motion that they hope Zug will support for a cantonal initiative seeking changes to the federal currency law. They argue that the creation of 5,000-franc notes will ensure that the Swiss franc maintains its status as a safe haven currency. As we reported previously, this proposal is the diametrical opposite of what the ECB hopes to do, and of where the European Union wants to go, where finance ministers have talked about withdrawing 500-euro bills from circulation to deter their use for “financing terrorism, money laundering and other illegal activities”, all made up terms designed to give the impression that politicians are slowly eliminating physical currency in circulation for your own good. They are not. This is what the Swiss politicians admit too: Brunner and Brandberg maintain that the tendency in the EU and in OECD member countries is to “weaken individual liberties” and to exercise greater control over citizens. But it is what they say next that may define the libertarian political platforms around the globe for the next several years – also known as the global NIRP period – because it is 100% spot on: In this context “cash is comparable to the service firearm kept by Swiss citizen soldiers,” the pair argued in their motion, saying they both “guarantee freedom”. “In France and Italy already cash payments of only up to 1,000 euros are allowed and the question of the abolition of cash is being seriously discussed and considered in Europe, “ Brunner said on his Facebook page. The move toward electronic payments allows governments “total surveillance” over individuals, the pair claim. Of course, the proposal was promptly shot down by the Swiss National Bank: “Walter Meier, a spokesman for the Swiss National Bank, which is responsible for Switzerland’s money, told 20 Minuten newspaper the introduction of banknotes of a higher denomination is “not an issue.” Keep in mind this is the same central bank which in late 2014 pushed hard against a popular referendum to replenish Swiss sovereign gold by buying gold in the open market, only to generate billions in paper losses months later when it admitted defeat in the currency war with the ECB; a central bank which then lost even more billions when it decided to buy shares of AAPL at their all time high price and is now sitting on substantial paper losses. As for the Swiss proposal to print higher denomination currencies, we are confident it won’t pass now: if it did, there would be an unprecedented rush from around the globe to park savings in Swiss cash, just like in the good old days. But the time of big currency denominations is coming one way or another: after all, NIRP is the falling Keynesian system’s penultimate hope. When it fails, there is just one last option, the one we have said is coming ever since 2009, the one which even the “smartest money in the world” agreed today is inevitable: helicopter money. And as Ben Bernanke made it all so clear in 2002, once the helicopter money comes, hyperinflation is very close behind. And one thing hyperinflation always brings with it, is very highly denominated bank notes. Just ask Zimbabwe.

Destitution, Death, Looting, Mob Rule, And A Complete Breakdown Of Law & Order. That’s What’s Happening When TSHTF [VIDEO]

Destitution, death, looting, mob rule, and a complete breakdown of law & order. That’s what’s happened in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, and it’s yet another stark example of what any post-disaster environment will look like, whether it’s in a third world nation or the United States of America. Word of the day: Prepare! And do it the old fashion way, like our fore-fathers did it and succeed long before us, because what lies ahead of us will require all the help we can get. Watch this video and learn the 3 skills that ensured our ancestors survival in hard times of famine and war. When it hits the fan, expect the fall out to happen within hours… Excerpts via Zero Hedge / Alt Market: “People are walking like zombies looking for food,” said Jenny Chu, a medical student in Leyte. “It’s like a movie.” As rescue workers struggled to reach ravaged villages along the coast, where the death toll is as yet unknown, survivors foraged for food or searched for lost loved ones. Looters rampaged through several stores in Tacloban, witnesses said, taking whatever they could find as rescuers’ efforts to deliver food and water were hampered by severed roads and communications. A TV station said ATM machines were broken open. Mobs attacked trucks loaded with food, tents and water on Tanauan bridge in Leyte, said Philippine Red Cross chairman Richard Gordon. “These are mobsters operating out of there.” President Benigno Aquino said the government had deployed 300 soldiers and police to restore order and that he was considering introducing martial law or a state of emergency in Tacloban to ensure security. “Tonight, a column of armored vehicles will be arriving in Tacloban to show the government’s resolve and to stop this looting,” he said. Aquino has shown exasperation at conflicting reports on damage and deaths and one TV network quoted him as telling the head of the disaster agency that he was running out of patience. “How can you beat that typhoon?” said defense chief Voltaire Gazmin, when asked whether the government had been ill-prepared. “It’s the strongest on Earth. We’ve done everything we can, we had lots of preparation. It’s a lesson for us.” “It’s like the end of the world.” Also read: Pentagon And DoD Preparing In Full Force For Large Scale Economic Meltdown And Massive Revolt Via The US Public The situation unfolding in the Philippines brings to light the question: How do you prepare for something like this? There are certain disasters for which your home-based stockpiles just won’t work – massive weather events, earthquakes, flooding, war or any emergency that would leave your primary shelter destroyed. In fact, the only fool-proof way to prepare for such scenarios is to have secondary preparedness stockpiles… and to get out of town before the event happens provided you’re aware that it’s on the way. Moreover, you need to have a post-disaster escape plan, because some things simply can’t be predicted. For those with the ability to do so, it’s imperative that you communicate with like-minded family and friends about setting up emergency evacuation plans. Another option for those without a place to go, consider diversifying some of your preparedness supplies – even if it’s just 7 to 14 days worth – at offsite locations that may include storage facilities or hidden caches. The key is to have your supplies within walking distance, so that you can get to them within 24 hours of a disaster, and plan on not being able to use your primary vehicle to get out of town because the roads could be cluttered with debris or overrun with other people trying to get out of Dodge.

Pentagon And DoD Preparing In Full Force For Large Scale Economic Meltdown And Massive Revolt Via The US Public

High level government documents reveal that the Pentagon is preparing in full force for ‘large scale economic meltdown’ and massive revolt via the US public — exactly what we are criticized for doing.

You see the Pentagon and agencies like the Department of Defense (DoD) are in full scale emergency readiness in their own words for ‘cataclysmic’ events that are believed to ultimately ignite riots in the face of chaos and economic collapse, and it’s all out in the open. And it’s one of the reasons that we’re seeing such a massive amount of spying on activists of all kinds, alternative news writers and personalities, and basically anyone preparing for themselves. The US government is dedicated to logging such information into a major database in order to ‘prepare’ for the coming collapse that they are predicting in their own documents for all to see. Collapse predictions that have turned into ‘war games’ by the Pentagon, which in 2010 were orchestrated to prepare for what the Pentagon dubbed ‘large scale economic breakdown’ and the disappearance of essential services like food. In this same ‘war games’ exercise dedicated to domestic response, exercises were ran in order to prepare for ‘domestic order amid civil unrest’. Military to Stop ‘Domestic Resistance’ A thread that is seen throughout these tests is the concept that civil unrest will unfold and prompt military action against the public. One of the largest examples of this is the US Army’s Strategic Studies Institute paper that talks about about the ‘threat of domestic crises’ that are expected to lead to massive unrest throughout the nation. Spurring more paranoia into the notion that every citizen is a terrorist, the report starts talking about everything from economic collapse to a loss of functional political order brought upon by a ‘hostile group within the United States’ that could access weapons. In such scenarios, the report discusses how the DoD would then be ‘forced by circumstances’ to come in and stop ‘purposeful domestic resistance or insurgency”: “DoD might be forced by circumstances to put its broad resources at the disposal of civil authorities to contain and reverse violent threats to domestic tranquility. Under the most extreme circumstances, this might include use of military force against hostile groups inside the United States. Further, DoD would be, by necessity, an essential enabling hub for the continuity of political authority in a multi-state or nationwide civil conflict or disturbance.” Also read: An Economic Collapse Today Would Be Far Different From The Great Depression. This One Will Be Uniquely Dangerous And Likely Violent To go along with this, and the idea of the military coming in to stop domestic resistance in the midst of an economic collapse, the Pentagon has gone and created a force consisting of 20,000 troops whose sole purpose is to be available for civil unrest and catastrophes — all based on the 2005 Homeland Security program to prepare for ‘multiple, simultaneous mass casualty incidents‘. Yet again we see this link. But don’t worry, changes have been made to allow for the Pentagon to directly have absolute authority over domestic emergencies and ‘civil disturbance’ at large. As reported in a Long Island news publication and properly summarized by The Guardian as further preparation for some form of domestic meltdown: “Federal military commanders have the authority, in extraordinary emergency circumstances where prior authorization by the President is impossible and duly constituted local authorities are unable to control the situation, to engage temporarily in activities that are necessary to quell large-scale, unexpected civil disturbances.” What does this mean exactly, to engage in the activity necessary to quell large-scale civil disturbances? Well, for one it is the blank check ability to go ahead and stop major protests amid domestic turmoil. The kind of protests we’re seeing around the world, from Egypt to Brazil. The kind of protests where citizens have had enough. And going by the Pentagon documents mixed with the DoD papers, it appears the military believes America may take to the streets amid an economic collapse or ‘domestic disturbance’ of large caliber. And you can be sure that virtually all citizens that question the government are the targets of military intervention, as we see in the DoD’s own Army Modernisation Strategy, detailing ‘anti-government and radical ideologies that potentially threaten government stability‘ as a major threat. Also read: The Freedoms We Used To Have Will Be Taken Away. The U.S. Government Is Building The Terrorists They Need Yes, you read that right. The DoD is classifying ‘anti-government and radical ideologies’ as something that threatens government stability. When a major ‘domestic disturbance’ comes along that all of these documents are discussing, such as perhaps in the form of mass protests, it’s the ‘anti-government extremists’ they will be coming after.

Financial institutions on high alert for major cyber attack

Warwick Ashford Security Editor11 Feb 2016 12:15

The financial sector is facing the highest number of organised cyber attacks and multi-channel threats, a ThreatMetrix report reveals A major financial institution is likely to be hit by significant cyber criminal activity in 2016, according to the latest ThreatMetrix Cybercrime Report. Analysis of more than 15 billion transactions in the past 12 months by the ThreatMetrix Digital Identity Network revealed a 40% increase in cyber criminal activity targeting the financial sector. A record 21 million fraud attacks and 45 million bot attacks were detected in the last three months of 2015 alone. The data also shows that the financial sector is facing the highest number of organised attacks and multi-channel threats. The biggest emerging threat for financial institutions is bot attacks, which increased 10 times in the last three months of 2015 compared with the previous quarter. A worst-case attack scenario could see a major bank or financial institution completely paralysed for days, leading to millions – if not billions – of pounds of lost business, according to ThreatMetrix analysts. “A trend in our latest report shows bot attacks as the biggest attack vector to financial businesses globally,” said Vanita Pandey, senior director of strategy and product marketing at ThreatMetrix. “Bots and other sophisticated attacks, such as malware, have determined strategies to mimic the behaviour of authentic customers to bypass traditional security defences. This has serious implications for businesses across industries and geographies, as bots are difficult to detect and can cost billions in losses,” she said. Online lending top target for hackers In addition to bot attacks, other trends in the financial services industry include increased mobile usage and attacks targeting both online lending and alternative payments. Online lending is seen as an easier way for the unbanked and under-banked to gain access to loans in a matter of days, and its increasing popularity is making it a top target for cyber criminals. “While convenient for consumers and profitable for financial institutions, online lending presents a risk for new account creation fraud, as cyber criminals stand to profit from fraudulent loans and other financing,” said Stephen Topliss, vice-president of products at ThreatMetrix. “Online lending is a hotbed for fraud because it is a less secure channel and an attractive target for attackers. They are also working with much faster transaction cycles than traditional lenders,” he said, adding that mobile also opens the door for the unbanked and under-banked to easily and conveniently gain access to loans from online institutions and small lenders. Increase in e-commerce and mobile attacks In the last three months of 2015, the ThreatMetrix Digital Identity Network detected and stopped approximately 58 million attacks on e-commerce merchants, preventing billions of pounds in potential fraud losses, as well as potential serious damage to brand reputation, the security firm said. ThreatMetrix analysts said that as retailers look to build trust and long-term relationships with consumers, this has led to an increase in attempted log-in attacks, which are largely carried out by bots attempting to compromise consumers’ stored financial information. The challenge for retailers, said ThreatMetrix, is stopping bots while also avoiding “friction” in the online shopping experience for the customer. According to ThreatMetrix statistics, mobile transaction volume reached a new high in the last quarter of 2015, up 200% compared with the same period the year before. In addition, more than 350 million mobile devices were added to the ThreatMetrix Digital Identity Network in 2015, mainly due to mobile application downloads across industries. This growth makes mobile an attractive target for cyber criminals, who use stolen identities and compromised devices from major data breaches to their advantage for financial gain, according to analysts. “With mobile transactions at an all-time high, so are the attacks targeting mobile. Digital businesses must do everything in their power to prevent these attacks,” said Pandey. “Global shared intelligence and a multi-layered approach to cyber security enable businesses to detect and stop mobile bot attacks, malware, device spoofing, jailbroken devices, rooting and other associated risks,” she said. Digital world must stay ahead of cyber criminals The data also shows that consumers are becoming more comfortable using multiple devices to access online accounts. In the last quarter of 2015, more users than ever before accessed their bank accounts, made payments, streamed content and created accounts using their connected devices, moving seamlessly between devices, such as tablets and smartphones. “We now live in a digital-first world and will continue to see consumers turning to online channels and mobile devices for shopping, banking and other transactions,” said Topliss. “With such a high volume of connected consumers and devices, cyber criminals now have access to endless personally identifiable information at their fingertips. Businesses need to take a digital-first, holistic approach to cyber security to stay one step ahead of fraudsters,” he said. According to Topliss, businesses can use the power of digital identities and shared intelligence to analyse the connection between devices, locations and anonymised personal information to build a unified risk assessment across all digital channels.

Banks Seek Monopoly Over Economy: “Cash Is Being Gradually Taken Away”

February 18, 2016 By Mac Slavo

There is a war on for the extermination of cash. It is the ultimate monopoly game, but there are those who are willing to put up a fight to keep cash in the game. The powers-that-be on Wall Street and in the central banks are aiming to eliminate paper money in large part to continue “sustaining and even intensifying the central banks’ nightmarish experiment with negative interest rates” – a doubly dangerous effort at economic control. And banks stand to have all the control as digital transactions flow through their institutions, closely monitored and accumulating fees, penalties and charges that enrich the banks and hold customers hostage. As Europe moves to take the 500 Euro note out of circulation, former Treasury Secretary and enabler of past crises, has called for an end to the Benjamins – the celebrated $100 note of outlaws, gangsters and all those who would oppose the new world economic order. As Wolf Street notes: Those motives include sustaining and even intensifying the central banks’ nightmarish experiment with negative interest rates, increasing public dependence on big banks, destroying the last vestiges of personal financial freedom and anonymity, expanding government surveillance of and control over the economy, and in the case of credit card companies and fintech firms, doing away with their biggest competitor, physical currency. The powers that want to kill off cash already have vital technological and generational trends firmly on their side, as a result of which cash’s days as a commonly used payment method may well be numbered anyway. They also have the added bonus of widespread public ignorance, apathy, and disinterest. “It would be fatal if citizens got the impression that cash is gradually taken away from them”: Bundesbank President Weidman. As Don Quijones argues – the countries that have been quickest to adopt cashless societies in Scandanavia tend to be very well adjusted and relatively trusting of their governments. By contrast, Americans, developing countries, and even Germany and Japan have less trust in their government, and will likely put up a fight against attempt to disarm cash: All too often we hear about the countries in Europe and elsewhere that are furthest along the path toward a completely cashless existence — countries with high levels of public trust in public institutions such as Denmark, Sweden, Australia and Singapore. By contrast, we hardly ever hear about countries where public trust is low in government and financial institutions and physical cash is still revered. They include many of the nations of the Global South as well as two of the world’s biggest, most advanced economies, Germany and Japan. “Cash allows us to remain anonymous during day-to-day transactions. In a constitutional democracy, that is a freedom that has to be defended,” tweeted the Green MP Konstantin von Notz. Even the head of the Bunderbank, Jens Weidmann, criticized the government’s proposals, telling Bild (emphasis added): “It would be fatal if citizens got the impression that cash is being gradually taken away from them.” How to Disappear Off the Grid Completely (Ad) The right to a free exchange medium has been understated in Constitutional debates, as well as outlook to the global future, though gold and silver is mentioned in Article I Section 10. But the going trend towards the use of credit/debit, phone apps and other digital payments strips away the fundamental free exchange of currency that historically come with physical currency. Instead, it grants something pretty close to a monopoly for the handful of banks and online entities like PayPal who will operate the systems, decide the fees and surcharges, and freeze accounts for behaviors that could include things like trying to sell a firearm on a platform that has a policy against it. Cash transactions (as well as those made with gold and silver or historically utilized mediums) are practically anonymous, rather than scrutinized and available as evidence to creditors, competitors, prosecutors or those with an agenda. It will also make it harder for small businesses, who stand to be forced out of cash-only operations and onto the reservation of digital payments, where they will have to comply and qualify for status. If cash dies, they will control authorization … they will hold nearly all the power. You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com

As Russia Bombs Terrorists In Syria, NATO Members Repeat Calls For “No-Fly Zone” and War

TOPICS: Brandon Turbeville Syria February 18, 2016

As both the rhetorical and military situation begins to heat up in Syria, Turkey and the NATO powers appear to be doing everything in their power to launch yet another direct invasion of a sovereign nation. In the shadow of U.S. airstrikes, Turkish shelling of Syrian positions, and the massing of Saudi “troops” and aircraft inside Turkey, the concept of a “No-Fly Zone” is once again being trotted out as a legitimate solution to the Syrian crisis. Of course, a No-Fly Zone is nothing more than a cover for a direct NATO invasion of Syria, which has been the goal ever since it became clear that terrorist proxies were simply not enough to get the job done. While Syria has been turned into the world’s most visible conflict zone, the Western powers have failed in their goal of turning it into Libya 2.0 and the Russian involvement has effectively prevented them from merely bombing Assad into the Stone Age as was done to Ghaddaffi nearly 5 years ago. Still, the calls for a No-Fly Zone come from Western governments, the GCC, and the Western mainstream press despite the fact that ISIS has no air force, nor do any of the other terrorist groups and groupiscules operating in Syria today. Thus, it is clear that the real enemy here is the legitimate government of Bashar al-Assad. For instance, Angela Merkel, the wretched German Chancellor, has already made renewed calls for a No-Fly Zone in Syria on Tuesday and again in the German parliament on Wednesday. She preposterously suggested that such a zone could be created as the result of an agreement between the Syrian government, “opposition forces,” and ISIS as a “sign of good will.” “In the current situation, it would be helpful if there was an area there in which none of the warring parties carry out attacks by air – so a type of no-fly zone,” she added . As is typical of Recep Tayip Erdogan, the Turkish President has also renewed calls for a No-Fly Zone and has even taken to berating the United States for not joining in and implementing the zone immediately and in the face of the Russians no less. Erdogan stated, I have long spoken about the need to create a safety zone. And I now see that certain countries, which have not supported this idea, are now starting to agree with it … I am asking the United States: you did not approve of a no-fly zone, and now there are Russian planes [bombing Syria] and thousands of people are dying there, but it seems that we are a coalition and must act together? So what happened? Erdogan has been calling for a No-Fly Zone since 2011 and this statement was likewise made under the guise of “protecting civilians.” Such transparent attempts to justify a military and geopolitical policy (most likely dictated to Turkey via the controlling elements of NATO) are hardly digestible since Erdogan makes them as Turkey barrages YPG and Syrian military positions as well as civilian areas. Not only that, but such claims are being made by one of the principal nations involved in creating the humanitarian crisis to begin with, since it is Turkey that has helped arm, fund, direct, and facilitate the hordes of terrorists who have raped and beheaded their way across Syria into the country since the very start. The United States has been open to the idea in the past and no doubt supports the proposition of a No-Fly Zone as a policy but the fact is that such a policy is much more difficult to implement when Russian bombers are flying over Syrian skies. Russia, for its part, has been vocal in its opposition to the establishment of a No-Fly Zone over Syria. Despite the potential for a real World War 3 scenario unfolding as a result of the No-Fly Zone, Germany is apparently prepared to send a proposal to create the zone to the United Nations and its relevant Working Groups in the very near future. Of course, the establishment of a No-Fly Zone is tantamount to a declaration of war. Such has even been admitted by top U.S. generals when explaining exactly what a No-Fly Zone would entail. As General Carter Ham stated, We should make no bones about it. It first entails killing a lot of people and destroying the Syrian air defenses and those people who are manning those systems. And then it entails destroying the Syrian air force, preferably on the ground, in the air if necessary. This is a violent combat action that results in lots of casualties and increased risk to our own personnel. General Philip Breedlove also echoed this description when he said, I know it sounds stark, but what I always tell people when they talk to me about a no-fly zone is . . . it’s basically to start a war with that country because you are going to have to go in and kinetically take out their air defense capability Still, NATO, Turkey, the United States and the GCC continue to move forward with their plan to destroy the secular government of Syria and knock down one of the last pillars of resistance to the NATO imperialist aims, even as the potential for widespread mutual destruction remains in the balance. The moral question aside, it is clear to the world that the responsible and wisest strategic move on the part of NATO would be to pull back and exercise restraint since it is clear by now that the Russians are asserting themselves in defense of Syria and their own strategic interests in a way that they did not in regards to Libya. Indeed, the unipolar world now exists whether NATO desires it or not. It would be wise to work within those parameters and avoid a situation that eliminates all of the ill-gotten NATO gains. A No-Fly Zone is only the prelude to direct military conflict in Syria. If that No-Fly Zone is created, we wish the Syrian people the same courage and resolve that has resisted the will of foreign empire for the last 5 years to continue their resistance. We also hope that Providence intercedes on their behalf. In the meantime, we maintain a staunch opposition to the creation of a No-Fly Zone in the first place.

Why is US storing new tanks in hidden Norwegian caves?

Published: 19 Feb 2016 12:59 GMT+01:00

Once dormant Cold War era caves are being restocked by the US Marines.

Russian spying can 'damage' Norway: PST (10 Feb 16) US Marines are using Cold War era Norwegian caves to store new tanks, artillery and other military equipment to ramp up their presence near the Nato-Russia border, CNN reported on Thursday "Any gear that is forward-deployed both reduces cost and speeds up our ability to support operations in crisis, so we're able to fall in on gear that is ready-to-go and respond to whatever that crisis may be," Col. William Bentley, said in a Marine video posted to Facebook: According to a Marines statement, the military began using the caves to store military equipment in 1981. When Cold War tensions subsided, the US military transferred the costs of maintaining the caves to Norway, Magnus Nordenman, the director of the Transatlantic Security Initiative at the Atlantic Council, told CNN. But with Russia flexing its muscles in the region, the cave complex is now back in active use. Nordenman told CNN that the caves hold enough equipment to support some 15,000 Marines. See also: Russia on agenda at Nordic Nato discussions Heather Conley, the director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies' Europe Program, told CNN that given the tense current relationship between Nato and Russia, northern Europe is now being viewed as a “theatre of operations”. "Now that we have a very new security context with Russia, it now makes sense to rethink what is needed," she said. Russian aggression in the Nordics has been an ongoing concern for Norway and its neighbours in recent years. In 2015, it was revealed that Russia rehearsed military takeovers of northern Norway, the Swedish island of Gotland and the Danish island of Bornholm. Norwegian, Swedish and Danish intelligence services have all reported that Russia is one of the biggest threats in the region. Just last week, the Norwegian Police Security Service (PST) singled Russian spying out as having major “damage potential” for Norwegian interests. The Marines statement said that more than 16,000 troops will use equipment stored in the Norwegian caves later this month for cold weather training exercises. The Marines have released video showing the Norwegian army assisting the Americans in learning how to best operate tanks and Amphibious Assault Vehicles in icy conditions.

If the Pope is so keen on tearing down walls, he could start with the wall of silence that's protected pervert priests for decades

By Katie Hopkins for MailOnline Published: 08:20 EST, 19 February 2016 | Updated: 10:36 EST, 19 February 2016

Your mother probably told you—mine told me—that you should never talk about religion or politics in polite company. Fortunately most of the company I keep is not very polite. But I happen to like it when people speak their mind. I believe this world would be a far safer place if we all said exactly what we thought and were not cowed by consequences, silenced by the strong arm of the law or the madness of the mob on twitter. There are a few exceptions. If you are given a platform by your job, have the decency to stick to your specialist subject. If your specialist subject is Gun Control, I don't want to know your opinion on a women's right to abortion. My body is not your business. If you are Chief Executive of a big gas company, I want you to explain why gas prices have fallen but my bills have gone up. And frankly, if you are the Pope, I'd prefer you stick to Popey things – like….kissing babies and the feet of prisoners who haven't had a wash for a week. Or maybe performing a couple of miracles in order to snag a Sainthood. Now the miracle bar has been lowered from three to two I think this is perfectly achievable. Try getting my mother-in-law to be civil for two days over Christmas. That's one in the bag right there. (She's dead so it's actually trickier than you might think) I have no time for any religion. Wherever there is conflict and death, there is religion justifying its lunacy. As ISIS chops the head off a fifteen year old for playing a bit of Beyoncé in his dad's store, I find evidence for Muslim madness everywhere I look. Watching tears stream down my husband's face at the end of the movie 'Spotlight', as the staggering number of pedophile priests in Boston rolled across the screen, I see how strongly some people feel about the God in whom they believe. The Catholic Church has built walls around these snivelling excuses for men. Cardinal Pell and his bottom-dwelling kind, with their fancy outfits hiding the fact they are not true men of the cloth have built their own walls. Walls of silence. But this does not mean I am disrespectful of believers. Who can blame them if it brings hope or purpose? Maybe Saint Peter does exist and won't let me in, like Paul McCartney at Tyga's Grammy party. Come to think of it, I have been out with five Mark's in my life and not one Peter. My father even started addressing them as such. 'Evening Mark Three.' But if you are a believer, then you may be seething His Royal Popey-ness has entered the presidential debate, saying Donald Trump is not a Christian because he wants to build a big wall to keep Mexican immigrants out of the US. 'A person who thinks only about building walls... and not of building bridges, is not Christian.' OK, Pope. I wouldn't normally, but you cast the first stone, so I'm chucking in a few hand grenades of my own. A man who lives behind Vatican Walls so high and wide, wants to lecture the American people on who is godly and who isn't? With your pedo priests and wall of silence about them? Really? You are nothing sir, but a bleeding heart liberal, imagining the world is a beautiful place, with migrants fuelled by God and love – not drugs and guns. There are 11 million illegal immigrants inside the USA as we speak. And you want to build a bridge so more can come? You sir, are delusional. Are you handing out free passes to Disneyland whilst you are about it, lovely? Because that's how big a fantasy this land of yours is. Where is the money coming from to pay for all of this generosity? Where is the giant cash cow in the sky? Or is the milk of human kindness going to buy them food or healthcare? Your business, the business of the Catholic Church, is doing very nicely thank you. We know of $20 million in gold in the Federal Reserve and $7.3 billion in the bank but there is still significant opacity in the net worth of the Vatican to hide a thousand sins. Which tells you all you need to know. America, in contrast has a national debt equivalent to $232,627 for every person living in the USA*. And the ones you don't know about are getting more numerous by the day. If I was Donald Trump I would stand up and say THANK YOU. Thank you, Pope. Thank you for showing your true colors. Just like the investigative reporters at the Boston Globe, he has outed the Catholic Church and its leader…as liberals. By the way, is it coincidence that the Pope seems happiest in places like Cuba where, curiously, there have been no abusive priest scandals - for the very good reason that the Castros don't exactly encourage investigative journalism? Thank the tooth fairy that the Catholic Church doesn't think women count or they'd probably be out waving flags for Hillary. For a house of God to be so political, it is as curious and as uncomfortable as for one of the British Royal family to be a strident Europhile. And that happened this week too. I get that the Pope believes in God. But for him to believe 11 million illegal migrants can simply remain in the USA or for a million more to follow is taking it too far. Donald is right to say he would build a wall. He wants to protect his people. His Christianity is a private affair and not for anyone else to judge. You know, Jesus referred to the church as his father's house. Now the Pope has nailed his political colors to the mast, perhaps it is time for a true American to take over the big White one.

Donald Trump struck a hybrid tone Thursday night on his day-long tiff with the Vatican, saying he thought Pope Francis' comments about his faith were overblown – but poking fun at the Pontiff for living in a city surrounded by a giant protective wall. 'I think it was probably a little bit nicer statement than was reported by you folks in the media,' Trump told CNN's Anderson Cooper during a presidential town hall broadcast. 'Because after I read it, it was a little bit softer. But the bottom line is we've got to have a border, we've got to have security. We have tremendous illegal immigration in the country.' 'He also talked about [how] having a wall is not Christian,' Trump observed of the Pope's words. 'And he's got an awfully big wall at the Vatican, I will tell you.' Trump reiterated his months-long contention that 'we're going to build a wall, and Mexico's going to pay for the wall. And that's the way it is.' When Cooper reminded Trump that 'people do come and go through the Vatican, and it's open to tourists,' Trump pounced. 'They're going to come and go through the wall' he will erect on America's southern border,' he said, 'but they're going to come and go legally. And that's what I want, and that's what a lot of people want. The global leader of the Roman Catholic Church told reporters early Thursday en route to Europe after a visit to the U.S.-Mexico border that 'a person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not in the gospel.' Minutes later Trump had taken a harsh line, saying the Pope was 'disgraceful' for declaring he was not a Christian. But he shrugged hours later, suggesting that 'somehow the government of Mexico spoke with the Pope, I mean they spent a lot of time with the Pope. And by the time he left he made a statement.' 'I didn't think it was a good thing for him to say, frankly,' Trump jabbed. 'I don't like fighting with the Pope. I don't think this is a fight.' 'I think he said something much softer than what was originally reported by the media. I think that he heard one side of the story, which is probably by the Mexican government. He didn't see the tremendous strain that the border is causing us with respect to illegal immigration, [and] wiith the drugs pouring across the border.' Trump recalled that during his successful campaign in New Hampshire, drug abuse – specifically heroin – was 'the biggest single problem' everywhere he went. 'They have a massive drug problem,' he said. 'We're gonna stop it. And it's pouring through the southern border. The Donald said he would be interested in a sit-down with Francis to hash out their differences. 'I'll do it any time he wants. I mean, it would be very interesting,' he said. 'I like him. I mean, I like him as a personality. I like what he represents. And I certainly have great respect for the position.' Cooper chuckled at recalling a 2015 Iowa event during which Trump told a skeptical audience of evangelical Christians that asking the Almighty for forgiveness wasn't a common ritual in his faith life. 'Was there a moment when you first heard the Pope had said something about you, that you thought, "Maybe I'm gonna have to ask for forgiveness?"' Cooper asked him. 'No,' he replied, as the studio audience laughed along with him. 'No. Look, I have a lot of respect for the Pope. I think he's got a lot of personality. He's very different. He's a very different kind of a guy. And I think he's doing a very good job. He's got a lot of energy.' 'But I'd say that I think he was very much misinterpreted. And I also think he was given false information.' Trump said he wished Francis had 'heard our side, the side from people who live in the United States.'

By Dailymail.com Reporter Published: 17:14 EST, 18 February 2016 | Updated: 07:21 EST, 19 February 2016

After warning Donald Trump that building a 'huge wall' on the Mexican border is 'not Christian', Pope Francis is returning home to Vatican City.... which is entirely surrounded by an enormous stone wall. The Pope made a direct dig at The Donald before he left his week-long tour of Mexico today, telling his followers that the idea was 'not in the gospel'. However, Trump's supporters were quick to point out the irony of the Pontiff's words, as the Vatican is behind a walled enclave that sits within the city of Rome. Taking to Twitter, the director of social media for his presidential campaign, Dan Scavino said: 'Amazing comments from the Pope - considering Vatican City is 100% surrounded by massive walls' Speaking earlier today in Mexico, the Pope said: 'A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. his is not in the Gospel'. The idea to build an enormous wall along the border of America and Mexico - and make Mexico pay for it - has been a promise central to the Trump campaign to help combat illegal immigration. The Republican candidate was furious when told of the Pope's comments. He said: 'For a religious leader to question a person’s faith is disgraceful. 'I am proud to be a Christian and, as president, I will not allow Christianity to be consistently attacked and weakened, unlike what is happening now, with our current president.' Mr Scavino was not alone in pointing out the irony of the Pope's comment on Trump's plan for a wall along Mexico's border. Many Conservative commentators also weighed in on the row with similar views on Twitter.

'Cheers' at German migrant shelter fire

Posted By Staff on February 21, 2016

Onlookers at the fire in Bautzen jeered, according to the police

A fire which broke out at a building planned to house migrants in eastern Germany was greeted with cheers from some onlookers, police say. The fire in the town of Bautzen in the early hours of Sunday morning destroyed the roof of a former hotel, which was being converted into a migrant shelter. Police said some of the crowd tried to prevent firefighters from extinguishing the blaze, which destroyed the roof. The premier of Saxony, Stanislaw Tillich, described them as “criminals”. Police suspect arson. The investigation includes detectives who normally deal with extremist crimes. No-one was hurt. ‘Unashamed delight’ Only a few days ago, protesters in another Saxon town, Clausnitz, blocked the arrival of a bus taking migrants to accommodation. They shouted, “We are the people”, the slogan of the 1989 peaceful uprising which led to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany. The director of the Clausnitz migrant shelter is a member of the anti-immigrant Alternativ fuer Deutschland (AfD) party. Police in Bautzen said many in the crowd watched the fire and commented with “unashamed delight”. Two drunken men were arrested after they refused to leave the scene. The converted hotel was supposed to house 300 migrants.

Horror as ‘group of migrants film themselves raping male teenager at asylum centre'

A GROUP of migrants allegedly filmed themselves raping a male teen at a refugee centre.

By Lizzie Stromme

PUBLISHED: 03:55, Mon, Feb 22, 2016 | UPDATED: 10:29, Mon, Feb 22, 2016

The 19-year-old Syrian was attacked at a Norwegian reception centre by four male migrants he knew before arriving in the country, according to police. The teenager was hospitalised after the alleged incident, where he was also hit and kicked. The alleged rapists, three in their 20s and one in his 40s, have been charged with rape or complicity to rape and grievous bodily harm (GBH) or complicity to GBH. Police attorney Lise Dalhaug said: "Police have questioned all of the accused at length and a legal questioning will also take place. “We are in possession of a video of the assaults, which the accused have filmed themselves." The alleged incident took place at Oslofjord Convention Center at Brunstad in Vestfold in December last year. Three of the four accused have applied for asylum in Norway and have been remanded in custody by police already in December. The fourth suspect was arrested in Stockholm on Friday afternoon after Norwegian police issued an arrest warrant for the migrant. The man in his 20s is a lawful resident in Sweden and has now been remanded in custody awaiting a potential extradition to Norway. Both the accused and the victim are Syrians. All of five migrants involved in the alleged incident knew each other before coming to Scandinavia, but only three of the accused and the victim lived at the reception centre. The fourth suspect who has obtained asylum in Sweden was only visiting when the alleged rape happened. Police are investigating the alleged incident at the reception centre which housed 1,000 asylum seekers at its highest capacity. Despite three prison meetings, the indictment that will potentially be brought against the men has not yet been discussed. The accused migrants have been remanded in custody on three occasions - twice for four weeks and once for eight weeks.

U.S. air raid hits Islamic State in Libya, 43 dead

By Ahmed Elumami and Aidan Lewis

TRIPOLI (Reuters) – U.S. warplanes launched air strikes against a suspected Islamic State training camp in western Libya on Friday, killing more than 40 people, likely including a militant connected to two deadly attacks last year in neighbouring Tunisia. It was the second U.S. air strike in three months against Islamic State in Libya, where the hardline Islamist militants have exploited years of chaos following Muammar Gaddafi’s 2011 overthrow to build up a presence on the southern shores of the Mediterranean Sea. The Pentagon said it had targeted an Islamic State training camp. The facility in the city of Sabratha was linked to Noureddine Chouchane, a Tunisian blamed by his native country for attacks last year on a Tunis museum and the Sousse beach resort, which killed dozens of tourists. “Destruction of the camp and Chouchane’s removal will eliminate an experienced facilitator and is expected to have an immediate impact on ISIL’s ability to facilitate its activities in Libya, including recruiting new ISIL members, establishing bases in Libya, and potentially planning external attacks on U.S. interests in the region,” the Pentagon said, using an acronym for Islamic State, also known as ISIS or Daesh. U.S. officials said Chouchane is most likely dead but White House spokesman Josh Earnest said he could not yet confirm the results of the air assault. He said the raid showed U.S. willingness to fight Islamic State. “It’s an indication that the president will not hesitate to take these kinds of forceful, decisive actions,” Earnest said. In Libya, photos released by the municipal authorities showed a massive crater in grey earth. Several wounded men lay bandaged in hospital. The mayor of Sabratha, Hussein al-Thwadi, told Reuters the planes hit a building in the city’s Qasr Talil district, home to many foreigners. Locals officials said 43 people were killed. The strikes targeted a house in a residential district west of the centre, municipal authorities said in a statement. The house had been rented to foreigners including Tunisians suspected of belonging to Islamic State, and medium-calibre weapons including machineguns and rocket-propelled grenades had been found in the rubble, the statement said. The air strikes came just days after a warning by President Barack Obama that Washington intended to “take actions where we’ve got a clear operation and a clear target in mind” against Islamic State. Britain said it had authorised the use of its airbases to launch the attack. Islamic State runs a self-styled caliphate across swathes of Iraq and Syria, where it has faced air strikes from a U.S.-led coalition since 2014. DEEPER INTO CHAOS Since Gaddafi was overthrown five years ago by rebel forces backed by NATO air strikes, Libya has slipped deeper into chaos, with two rival governments each backed by competing factions of former rebel brigades. A U.N.-backed government of national accord is trying to win support, but is still awaiting parliamentary approval. It is opposed by factional hardliners and has yet to establish itself in the capital Tripoli. Islamic State has expanded, attacking oil ports and taking over Gaddafi’s home city of Sirte, now the militant group’s most important stronghold outside its main redoubts in Syria and Iraq. Calls have increased for a swift Western response to stop the group establishing itself more permanently and using Libya as a base for attacks on neighbours Tunisia and Egypt. Western officials and diplomats have said air strikes and special forces operations are possible as well as an Italian-led “security stabilisation” plan of training and advising. U.S. and European officials have in the past insisted Libyans must first form a united government and ask for help, but they also say they may still carry out unilateral action if needed. The United States estimates that the number of militants directly affiliated with Islamic State or sympathetic to it now operating in Libya is in the “low thousands,” or less than 5,000, a U.S. government source said. Last November the United States carried out an air strike on the Libyan town of Derna, close to the Egyptian border, to kill Abu Nabil, an Iraqi commander in Islamic State. A U.S. air strike targeted veteran Algerian militant Mokhtar Belmokhtar and other jihadists meeting in eastern Libya last June. His fate is unclear.

‘Highly Dangerous’ Radioactive Material Stolen in Iraq Found Intact

Melissa Chan @melissalchan Feb. 21, 2016

Officials were concerned it could have been acquired by ISIS

Authorities have found “highly dangerous” radioactive material that had gone missing in Iraq and prompted fears that it could be used as a weapon if it fell into the hands of ISIS terrorists. The potentially deadly radioactive material was found dumped near a gas station in the southern town of Zubair after it had been stolen in November from a storage facility belonging to a U.S. oilfield services company near the southern city of Basra about nine miles away, NBC News reports. Environment ministry spokesman Ameer Ali said Sunday that it had not been damaged. Jabbar al-Saidi, the chief of security panel in Basra provincial council, said a passerby spotted the device and alerted authorities. “After initial checking, I can confirm the device is intact 100% and there is absolutely no concern of radiation,” the chief said, according to NBC.

French President Threatens To "Suspend" Nations That Elect "Far-Right" Polticians

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/21/2016 20:31 -0500

Last month, we documented the burgeoning spat between Brussels and Poland over the latter’s move to approve new laws that allow the conservative (and eurosceptic) Law and Justice (PiS) government to name the chiefs of public TV and radio, and select judges for Poland's constitutional court. In response to a bloc-wide backlash, Polish minister Zbigniew Ziobro sent a letter to EU commissioner Gunther Oettinger in which Ziobro dismissed criticism of the new laws as “silly.” Oettinger earlier suggested that Poland be put under supervision for possible violations of democratic principles and after the Polish Wprost weekly ran a cover depicting Angela Merkel, Jean Claude-Juncker, and other eurocrats as Nazis who “want to supervise Poland again,” Brussels hit back by launching a review of the country’s new media laws. Under the “rule of law” mechanism, the EU Commission can compel member states to change measures that pose “a systematic threat” to democracy. But that’s not all. According to comments from French President Francois Hollande on Friday, Europe could move to “suspend” countries in which far-right governments rise to power“French President Francois Hollande warned Friday that an EU member state could be sanctioned if the extreme-right came to power there -- and could even be suspended from the bloc,” AFP reports. "A country can be suspended from the European Union," the President told France Inter radio. “Human rights watchdog the Council of Europe last week expressed concern at legislative changes proposed by Poland's new right-wing government that have been described both at home and abroad as unconstitutional and undemocratic,” AFP goes on to say, adding that “similar concerns have been expressed about Hungary's right-wing Prime Minister Viktor Orban.” "When the freedom of the media is in danger, when constitutions and human rights are under attack, Europe must not just be a safety net. It must put in place procedures to suspend (countries) -- it can go that far," Hollande said. "Checks," he said, are necessary on Poland. There are a couple of things to note here. First, it's not at all clear why it should be up to France how another country's citizens vote. Indeed, there's something terribly ironic about the idea of punishing a country for their voting preferences in the name of democracy. There's certainly nothing democratic about telling entire countries who they're allowed to elect. Second, Hollande's comments seem to reflect fears that the worsening refugee crisis has led to a revival of nationalism in Europe. Between the growing support for PEGIDA, which staged bloc-wide rallies earlier this month)... ...it's clear that the far-right is indeed staging a comeback. One wonders how many nations Hollande and Brussels are prepared to "suspend." Or perhaps it's the other way around. Given the shifting sentiment, perhaps the far-right will "suspend" the bloc's Francois Hollandes for failing to keep Western Europe secure in the face of myriad threats to the bloc's territorial inegrity and cultural heritage.

Here's your Obamacare: Hospitals now demanding patients pay up front before receiving treatment

Sunday, February 21, 2016 by: Jonathan Benson, staff writer

(NaturalNews) Deductibles are soaring under Obamacare, and many U.S. hospitals are now attempting to collect medical payments before services are even rendered, according to new reports. The financial burden of medical care has increased so much as a result of Obamacare -- just as predicted -- that hospitals can now clearly see the writing on the wall: Many more people than ever before will be unwilling or unable to pay their medical bills. According to CNN Money, Americans today are having to foot a much higher percentage of their medical bills than ever before due to ever-increasing deductibles. Five years ago, for instance, an individual, employer-sponsored policy had a deductible of just over $800. Today, that same policy carries a deductible of about $1,217, a rate more than 50 percent higher. Similar increases have occurred for family plan deductibles, which the 2014 Kaiser Family Foundation and Health Research & Educational Trust report says have increased by 31 percent overall. Since 2006, family plan deductibles have nearly doubled, jumping from an average of about $1,034 per family to $1,947.

Obamacare deductibles significantly higher than private coverage For those who didn't previously have healthcare coverage but now have Obamacare, the deductible sticker shock is even more substantial. Many lower-level enrollees, according to CNN Money, including those who signed up for "bronze" and "silver" plans, pay deductibles ranging anywhere from about $2,000 to upwards of $5,000. "The bronze plans are scaring a lot of administrators because the patient liability is so large," stated Debra Lowe, administrator director of revenue cycle at the Wexner Medical Center at Ohio State University, about the travesty of Obamacare deductibles. "Patients are unaware they have this high deductible." etc. and the news story continues..

Not So Stealthy: China Can Reportedly Track Pentagon's 'Undetectable' F-22s

Master Sgt. Kevin J. Gruenwald Military & Intelligence 13:41 22.02.2016(updated 15:39 22.02.2016)

The Chinese military is said to have developed capabilities which allow Beijing to detect and track some of the best aircraft in Washington's arsenal, including the fifth-generation Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptors, which some have called virtually undetectable. An upgraded version of the Chinese Phased Array Radar, as well as the KJ-2000 and KJ-500 airborne early warning and control systems could well cope with the task, People's Daily Online reported, citing military expert Yin Zhuo. The remarks came after unconfirmed reports surfaced that the Chinese military detected F-22s over the East China Sea. The PLA is said to have sent helicopters and a warship to the area. In addition, fighter jets were prepared to join other forces if requested. The incident took place on February 10. Initial reports did not specify the type of the aircraft or the country the plane belonged to, but Yin Zhuo mentioned that if the planes were F-22s then the Chinese could track them. "In fact – it's very possible that China can track the Raptor. Stealth is not a cloak of invisibility, after all. Stealth technology simply delays detection and tracking," defense expert Dave Majumdar wrote for the National Interest. "Even combat-configured F-22s are not invisible to enemy radar, contrary to popular belief."

Will Montana Soon Fall Victim to Refugee Islamification?

Posted on January 27, 2016 by Jim White

Relatively immune until now, Montana is being positioned for a flood of “refugees” over the next 18 months, as the IRC is urged to open offices in heavily populated Missoula, Montana (Kalispell, MT) The northwestern state of Montana is known for its picturesque beauty, national parks, and world-class outdoor recreation. Soon, however, Montana may be known for Islamification, as Montana is being positioned to be just one more stop for hundreds of un-vetted and potentially dangerous “refugees,” as part of the Refugee Resettlement Program. To be clear, NorthWest Liberty News is not against legal immigration to America. We are, however, against private agencies who have nothing more than a profit motive to relocate anyone to America who has a pulse. One such agency, the International Rescue Committee, or IRC, is being drafted to open shop in one of Montana’s largest cities, Missoula. The IRC is responsible for relocating 1000’s of refugees across America, and their presence in Missoula is strongly opposed by NorthWest Liberty News. Thankfully, we are not alone here in the Flathead Valley region, as the local ACT! For America chapter has made great strides to expose the Islamification of Montana, and have planned a rally this coming weekend to oppose any resettlement without properly vetting ALL proposed refugees. Last week, ACT! For America held their monthly member’s meeting—a meeting which I am contracted to record and archive. The topic of the meeting was the Islamification of America, and the speaker was expert on Radical Islam, Tom Osborne. Tom is widely recognized as an expert on Islam and Radical Islam, specifically. If you are unclear to the breadth and scope of the Islamification of America that is currently underway, please take the time to listen to the podcast, or view the video if you prefer.

Legend Issues Dire Warning About A Terrifying Future And The Trigger For Total Global Collapse

February 21, 2016

On the heels of seven weeks of chaotic trading in markets, today the man who has become legendary for his predictions on QE, historic moves in currencies, and major global events, just issued a dire warning about a terrifying future and the trigger for total global collapse. Egon von Greyerz: “Eric, the world is likely to enter the worst economic downturn in history at any time now. There have been depressions in many countries and regions before, but the world has never been in a situation when every single major economy is on the road to bankruptcy. In Volatile Markets, Is Wealth Preservation King? In a King World News interview I spoke with the man who predicted the Swiss National Bank would experience staggering losses and that the Fed would also experience massive losses that will destabilize the global financial system! His company is the only one in the world offering a precious metals investment service outside the banking system, with direct ownership and full control by the investor. He has also become legendary for his predictions on QE, historic moves in currencies, and major global events. To find out what he and his company can do to help answer that age old question for you CLICK HERE. The Fed, A Dire Warning And Total Collapse Egon von Greyerz continues: “During the last 100 years, the Fed and their partners in crime have created a system based on false prosperity. The damage they have caused the world economy will sadly lead to total collapse. As von Mises said: “There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved.” The final collapse is not one event. It is a long process. John Galbraith describes in his book “The Great Crash – 1929,” that people at the time did not see it as one event like a stock market crash but like a series of events. Things just got gradually worse month after month until the whole of the US was in a depression. And this is what we are seeing today. There hasn’t been a spectacular market crash yet but that might or might not come. Instead, it could also be a series of crashes over a longer period. The Beginning Of The End Eric, since the gold standard in the US was ended in 1971, we have seen a build-up of debt and a destruction of many currencies. For example, the dollar has lost 77% against the Swiss Franc since 1971. Then in the late 1980s Greenspan started the process of irresponsible monetary policy. Markets, politicians and investors loved it of course because so many people became rich on paper. The 2000 market crash was a hiccup that was soon forgotten with more money printing and more debt. Greenspan’s Crown Prince Bernanke was even more productive and doubled US debt during his reign. The 2007 – 2009 crisis led to unprecedented credit creation worldwide. So from the time Greenspan embarked on the disastrous policy of printing money, global debt has increased more than tenfold from $20 trillion to $230 trillion. In the meantime, in most countries we have bubbles in stocks, bonds, property and debt. We have massive political and economic problems in Europe with the EU and with a banking system that won’t survive. Japan is a disaster, China is a credit bubble and all emerging markets are now failing due to the unsustainable combination of collapsing commodity prices and debts that can never be repaid. We also have massive geopolitical dangers in the Middle East, Ukraine and the South China Sea and we have a serious migration problem in Europe. All these things are part of the process. The world has never before seen a confluence of problems and risks of this magnitude. In spite of that, very few people realize the dangers that the world is now facing. The Trigger For The Global Collapse And although this has, so far, been a very long and drawn out process, there are many indications that we will reach the acceleration stage in 2016. The triggers are likely to be collapsing currencies with the dollar taking the lead. Gold and silver will be the biggest beneficiaries of the currency implosion. Simultaneously, stock markets will fall strongly. But the worst problems will be in the banking sector and the credit markets, including derivative failures. Currencies falling precipitously could lead to high inflation or hyperinflation a lot sooner than most people expect. Pensions Will Disappear If events unfold quickly, governments will lose control in many countries and social unrest will be a major problem. Social security and pensions will be dramatically reduced or even disappear. Today, even before markets have come down, many pension funds are on the verge of insolvency. In Kansas, for example, the Central States Pension Fund needs to make 55% cuts in pensions and it is still questionable if they will survive. And that is with stock and bond markets near all-time highs. As markets start falling, there will be no more pensions. Most pension schemes worldwide are in s similar dire state. The demographics in Japan will make it impossible for a decreasing working population to support the old and the sick. But the majority of the global population has no pension at all and very few countries, if any, will have sufficient revenue to look after their old. World Trade Has Collapsed Eric, looking at world trade, it is contracting very fast as evidenced by various indices such as the Baltic Dry or Container traffic. Exports are also declining fast in many countries. And global bellwether companies such as Caterpillar have had falling sales for 38 months in a row. Also debt is continuing to increase fast. China’s debt is already up by $1 trillion in 2016 and distressed debt issues in the US are the highest since Lehman. The War On Cash And… Governments worldwide are now extremely concerned about a failure of the financial system and bank runs. This is the main reason why country after country is restricting cash transactions. In both Italy and France €1,000 is the maximum cash withdrawal. The €500 bill will probably be banned in the Eurozone and in the US, Larry Summers is proposing to get rid of the $100 note. At the same time two Swiss Members of Parliament are proposing a change in the Swiss law in order to introduce a 5,000- franc note. The highest today is 1,000 francs. This is to ensure that the Swiss Franc maintains its status as a safe haven currency. The proposers draw a parallel with every Swiss man keeping military firearms at home thus guaranteeing freedom for Switzerland. It is really reassuring that there are many libertarian politicians in Switzerland even though this initiative might not succeed. …A Terrifying Future – Act Now Before It’s Too Late In most other countries politicians are blaming terrorism, drugs and money laundering for restricting cash when the real reason is that they are trying to stop bank runs as people panic to get their money out of the bank. But nobody will get their money out as banks leveraged up to 50 times will not be in a position to pay anyone. Instead there will be bail-ins and bank failures. 2016 will probably be the last year when it will be possible to access bank accounts without restrictions. There are likely to be weekly or monthly limits of withdrawal or payments and also forced investments into government bonds. As currencies fall, there will be exchange controls. With the dollar weakening rapidly, only commercial payments will be allowed out of the US. It will not be possible to transfer money out for leisure or for investment. It is likely that 2016 will be the last year of unrestricted capital movements so it is crucial to take action before it is too late. We constantly tell investors that it is essential to keep assets outside their country of residence. Since there are few safe banks in the world, it is preferable to keep physical gold and maybe some silver in private vaults outside the banking system. Eric, gold and silver have definitely turned now after a four-year correction. The next move up could be very strong and could start any day now. For wealth preservation purposes we believe it is better to hold gold. The weight and volatility of silver makes a less suitable for most investors. Having said that, I believe silver will move up a lot faster than gold, so around a 20% allocation to silver probably gives the right risk reward. Gold & Silver Will Reach Price Levels That Are Unimaginable

What very few people realize is that there is very little gold and silver available for investment. All the gold and silver produced today is easily absorbed by China, India and a few other buyers. Since we have reached peak gold and silver production, there is no possibility to produce more. Also remember that only 0.5% of world financial assets are invested in gold. As inflation increases and gold appreciates, there will be virtually no supply to satisfy the increased investment demand from institutions and private investors. The existing gold stock is unlikely to be sold as prices rise. I could easily see within the next few years that there is no gold available for sale, and this could unfold much faster than people realize. The only regulator will then be price. And that is why both gold and silver are likely to reach levels that are unimaginable today.” ***KWN has now released the extraordinary audio interview with Dr. Marc Faber, where he discusses the greatest threat to the world, his stunning predictions for the rest of 2016, gold, and what investors can do with their money right now, and you can access it by CLICKING HERE OR ON THE IMAGE BELOW.

Cash Ban is All about Control-Bill Holter

By Greg Hunter On February 21, 2016

Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (Early Sunday Release)

Financial writer Bill Holter says there is a good reason some are pushing the idea of doing away with cash. Holter contends, “It’s not about the drug trade. It’s not about tax evasion. It’s really about capital controls. It’s about corralling the public’s funds into the banks. Then you go one step further, and they already put bail-in legislation into effect pretty much throughout the West. So, what they are doing is ring fencing your capital. If they really do away with all cash and all your funds have to be in the banking system, then basically you are completely controlled. . . . Individuals can be shut off because the state doesn’t like them.” So, when will the powers try and go cashless? Holter thinks, “I don’t think the public would accept it if all of a sudden ‘boom’ they flip the light switch and say that’s the end of cash. . . . I think the public would revolt, and it’s not doable. I also don’t think there is enough time left in the markets to get it done. The cashless society will result from either a war or a collapse in the system. It will be part of the new system. That’s how they will implement it. It will be after something big happens.” Holter says that “something” is going to be a global financial calamity worse that the Depression. Holter explains, “The whole system is going to collapse. We are going to have a bank/financial system holiday where institutions are outright closed. You are going to see bankruptcies and bonds going poof—just going away. This is what 2008 would have been had the Fed not spread $16 trillion all over the globe and probably much more than that. Now there is no central bank on earth that can ride in and save the system like they did in 2008. They have already shot all their ammunition. . . . When this collapse comes, there is nothing there to reflate the system. This is the greatest fear of central bankers since the 1930’s, and that is to have a deflation they can’t reflate.” It gets worse because cashless will also mean negative interest rates. Holter says, “If we are in a cashless society, where are you going to go. You won’t be able to get your money out. . . .Banks will recapitalize themselves with bail-ins. If they would go to negative interest rates with a society that still has cash, then you would have people pulling cash out of their bank and putting it under their mattress. These central banks that are talking about negative rates are telling you they want to, and have to, debase the currency.” On more rate hikes from the Fed, Holter says, “That’s true rocket science, no more rate hikes. Look what happened with just one rate hike. The wheels are coming off the car with just a quarter of a point hike.” On gold, Holter says, “If you go back and look at it on a chart, gold and silver began their upward movement right about the time Japan started negative interest rates. The big scare was the Fed is going to tighten. The Fed is going to tighten, which is ridiculous. Even if they tighten 3% or 4%, which they can’t do because they would kill the economy, it’s still not competition for real money. You are looking at a currency that is debasing by that amount per year. Negative interest rates are telling you, you’ve got to get your money out of the banks because it’s a guaranteed loss.” Some of that money is finding its way into precious metals. Join Greg Hunter as he goes One-on-One with financial expert Bill Holter of JSMineset.com. After the Interview: Holter says he would be a buyer of silver right now. He points out that the silver to gold ratio is near 80 to 1. Meaning it takes 80 ounces of silver to equal 1 ounce of gold. Holter thinks it could go down to 10 to 1 or even 20 to 1, and that would make the coming silver price go up “like gold on steroids.” Holter also says, “In the coming bull market, silver will do laps around gold in upward price movement.” If you would like to listen to the most recent Bill Holter and Jim Sinclair question and answer audio post, please click here.

Delhi faces water crisis after canal sabotaged in deadly protests

Impact of week-long protests by Jat caste over job quotas has left water supplies disrupted in city of 17 million people

Agence France-Presse in Sonipat Monday 22 February 2016 09.41 EST v

Much of Delhi’s water supply has been cut off after members of an influential Indian caste sabotaged a canal as part of protests over job quotas that have killed at least 19 people. A representative of the Jat caste said they had called off their week-long protests which resulted in thousands of troops being deployed in Haryana, after the northern state’s government accepted their demands. But the capital’s water board was still striving to restore full supplies to the city of 17 million people. India sent troops to secure the canal after Jat protesters – demanding a quota for their caste in public service jobs and higher education – seized it on Saturday and diverted the water flow away from Delhi. By Monday morning the army had regained control and was assessing the damage. But with the water flow into the city reduced by more than two-thirds, schools and many businesses remained shut and authorities urged people to ration water. The water board said it had been forced to limit supplies to the city, which receives little rain and has long struggled to provide enough water for its rapidly growing population. Just 240m gallons was being produced after the attack compared with the usual 820m gallons a day, it said. “There is extensive damage to the canal and it will take some time to fully restore the supply to Delhi,” said the water board spokeswoman Sanjam Cheema. “Engineers are working and hopefully the work will be completed by evening.” Thousands of troops had been sent to Haryana on Saturday with orders to shoot on sight after the protests turned violent, with rioters setting fire to homes and railway stations and blocking highways. The protests eased on Sunday after Haryana’s government agreed to the Jats’ demand for preferential access to sought-after government jobs and university places under India’s caste-based quota system. A representative of the Jats, traditional farmers who make up the single largest community in the state, with nearly 8 million members, told Agence France-Presse they had accepted the offer and would cease the protests completely. “We have called off the agitation since the government agreed to all our demands. We are satisfied now and have faith the government will do its part,” said Yashpal Malik, the head of a group of Jat organisations. India sets aside a proportion of jobs and university places for Dalits, known as “untouchables”, and for other “backward castes”, under measures intended to remedy centuries of discrimination. But the policy causes resentment among other communities such as the Jats, who say it freezes them out. The latest protests echo caste violence that swept the western state of Gujarat last August, leaving several dead. That state saw weeks of protests by the Patidar or Patel caste, who demanded the same benefits offered to lower castes. Haryana’s additional chief secretary, PK Das, said at least 19 people had died in the Haryana violence, which also forced the cancellation or diversion of hundreds of trains in the state after stations were set on fire. One of India’s largest carmakers, Maruti Suzuki, suspended operations at its two plants in the areas after the supply of components was disrupted. Das said most roads had reopened after being blocked by protesters and state authorities hoped to regain full control by the end of the day, although police reported some minor clashes on Monday. Delhi’s chief minister, Arvind Kejriwal, tweeted that the retaking of the canal was a “great relief” to the city. About 80% of its 17 million residents normally receive piped water, according to the water board. Many said they had been forced to limit their use of water or buy bottled supplies. “We have been rationing water and have ordered additional bottles of water from the market to take care of our essential needs like drinking and cooking,” bank worker Rajesh Mohan Bindlish told AFP. “We are also using buckets instead of regular showers.”

North Korea Offered Peace Talks, Then Backed Out: White House

Feb 23 2016, 6:23 am ET

WASHINGTON — North Korea sought to discuss a peace treaty but pulled away after the U.S. insisted denuclearization be part of the negotiations, the White House said Monday. Spokesman Josh Earnest said the U.S. considered a proposal from the North Korea, which has long sought a peace treaty with Washington. The 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty, and the U.S. retains 28,500 troops in South Korea as a deterrent against the North. The diplomatic discussions took place prior to North Korea's recent nuclear test and rocket launch that have further strained relations. Congress has since passed and President Barack Obama has signed additional sanctions on North Korea. The U.S., China and others are also considering U.N. sanctions. "There was interest expressed by the North Koreans in discussing a peace treaty," Earnest told a news conference. "We considered their proposal, but also made clear that denuclearization had to be part of any discussions. The truth is that the North Koreans rejected that response." Related: North Korea Is Ramping Up Nuke Work, Intel Chief Says "Those discussions were entirely consistent with the longstanding policy that the Obama administration has put forward," Earnest said. The U.S. previously has expressed openness to peace talks but said that Pyongyang would first have to abandon its nuclear program. Talks on the nuclear issue haven't gotten anywhere for years. International aid-for-disarmament negotiations that were hosted by China have been stalled since 2008. The international response to North Korea's Jan. 6 nuclear test and Feb. 7 rocket launch will be discussed when Secretary of State John Kerry meets Tuesday with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Washington, State Department spokesman Mark Toner said. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying repeated China's opposition to the possible U.S. deployment of an advanced U.S. missile defense system following the rocket launch. Wang is scheduled to be in the United States until Thursday.

Bill Gates' superpower: More (and cheaper) energy

Marco della Cava, USA TODAY 10:08 a.m. EST February 23, 2016

SAN FRANCISCO — Bill Gates, the tech entrepreneur turned global philanthropist, says it's not enough to use "lots of crazy-seeming ideas" to solve climate change. The cost of such clean energy must be lower than today's options. "If we just got energy that costs what it does today but doesn’t emit greenhouse gases, that’s a very good thing but it’s not nearly as exciting as getting energy that’s even cheaper," Gates told USA TODAY ahead of the release of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation letter Monday. "Because for poor people, things like fertilizer, lighting, materials to build their housing, their budgets are in the physical world. So cutting the price of energy is very progressive and increasing it is very regressive." (Gates was interviewed by phone last week from his Seattle-area headquarters before Apple was asked by the FBI to provide assistance in getting into the locked iPhone of a San Bernardino shooter; in recent interviews Gates made statements that at first seemed to support the FBI request but then said his stance was misrepresented and that he felt Congress should step in.) The Microsoft co-founder is adamant that scientific solutions to our warming planet must come from a partnership between government agencies and the private sector, a plan that he feels would have bipartisan support given that in the past such collaborations landed humans on the moon and created the Internet. "I think government research is probably the least controversial of all government spending programs, which is saying a lot nowadays," says Gates. "If you look at the Department of Energy's research and development budget, you’re asking to increase by a doubling, which would be an additional $6 billion, it’s not a huge thing, and if that really is letting America have cheaper energy and be the lead in these breakthroughs, I don’t think you’d be much of a partisan divide on that." Tech companies such as Google and Facebook, with their increasingly huge valuations and extensive global reach, can't necessarily be counted on to solve issues related to climate change, says Gates. "Through their own use of energy and materials, their data centers, their employees flying around, the physical products that they create, they can be exemplars in investing in breakthrough approaches," he says. "But whether they go beyond that in terms of their research budget and fund other things, that’s really up to them, if they think it’s an area of competence for them." He notes that his company, Microsoft, recently "was talking about doing a data center under water (for heat reduction), which is being prototyped. I don’ t know how well that will work" but it is reflective of the kind of outside-the-box thinking that is critical solving the world's various challenges. Gates says that because public utility companies spend less than 3% of their budgets on R and D, it is all the more imperative that clean-tech innovations receive private funding. While he is personally investing funds in such research, the Foundation's efforts remain keenly focused on helping alleviate the suffering of poor people in Africa by curing diseases such as malaria and developing drought-resistant crops. The Seattle-based foundation, which was founded in 2000 with funds provided by both Gates and his longtime friend, investor Warren Buffett, is the world's largest private philanthropy with $43.5 billion in assets. To date, the foundation has distributed more than $34 billion, including a recent $1.5 billion grant to bolster child The latest foundation letter got its inspiration from a meeting the Gates' had with Kentucky students last year, who asked the couple what superpowers they would want. Bill said "more energy" and Melinda said "more time." In his portion of the letter, which includes hand-written asides scrawled in the margins by each, Gates admits that to get carbon dioxide emissions to zero "we need an energy miracle," but adds, "I've seen miracles happen before. The personal computer. The Internet." Although Gates feels "time is not on our side," he notes that he's excited about outlier ideas that include using solar energy to produce fuel and "batteries the size of swimming pools." In her part of the letter, Melinda gates tackles the unfair burden of unpaid labor on women globally. "Unless things change," she writes, "girls will spend hundreds of thousands more hours than boys doing unpaid work simply because society assumes it's their responsibility." While this is common in first world countries, it's especially egregious in regions such as the Middle East and Africa, where women spend up to five times more time on chores than men, as compared to nearly double in North America. "It's not just about fairness," Melinda writes. "Assigning most unpaid work to women harms everyone: men, women, boys and girls." Gates says his wife is particularly active on issues such improving paternity leave time, which companies such as Facebook have recently improved (in light of founder Mark Zuckerberg becoming a father). The letter notes that in Canada, fathers who got and took paid leave spent 23% more time on household chores even after returning to their jobs. On less serious matters, the latter reveals the couple's favorite cereals (Bill: Cocoa Puffs, Melinda: Wheat Chex), mentions Bill Sr.'s extensive mint-condition Superman comic books ("I read them all," notes son Bill) and Melinda's experience living with an African family (the days started at 5 a.m. making fires, and ended at 10 p.m. washing dishes). In the most amusing margin-written note, Melinda writes in red ink opposite a long paragraph in which Bill muses about how much life has gotten better over the centuries thanks to science and technology. Referencing a line from Bill's favorite movie of 2015, The Martian, Melinda scribbles: "What Bill's saying is, 'We're going to science the $#!% out of this.'" After focusing nearly two decades and prodigious resources on a range of often vexing global issues, Gates says he remains optimistic about the state of the world. "Because the news lens is more on the setbacks than the gradual improvements, I think the world at large has not seen where a combination of innovation and generosity is actually having this huge positive effect," he says. "I wouldn’t enjoy the foundation work if I wasn’t seeing a lot of progress on all the things that we work on."

UN: War Crimes 'Rampant' in Syria

Margaret Besheer February 22, 2016 12:52 PM

The head of the U.N. Commission of Inquiry on the human rights situation in Syria said Monday that crimes against humanity continue to be perpetrated by Syrian government forces and the Islamic State group. "War crimes by the billigerents are rampant ... this carnage has to end,” commission chair Sérgio Pinheiro told reporters at the United Nations in New York. “Indiscriminate attacks must stop. Sieges have to be lifted.” The panel also criticized the “direct and active” military involvement of other countries in the conflict, saying Syria has become a “multisided proxy war.” In its 11th report, covering July 2015 to January 2016, the panel warns that “the fractured Syrian state is on the brink of collapse.” The three-member commission conducted more than 400 interviews and collected other data to prepare its 30-page report, but it is still denied access to Syria by authorities. “This is a big obstacle,” Pinheiro said.

John Kerry and Mahmoud Abbas meet in Jordan

Posted on Feb. 22, 2016 at 8:28 am

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas at a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in Jordan called on the United States to ensure the viability of the two-state solution. The two leaders met Sunday in Amman, according to Palestinian reports. Kerry was in Amman to meet with Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh ahead of a meeting scheduled for later this month between King Abdullah and President Barack Obama in Washington. Kerry was not scheduled to travel to Israel or receive Israeli officials in Amman during his visit to Jordan, according to Israeli media reports. During Sunday’s meeting, Abbas updated Kerry on the latest initiatives for a Palestinian unity government with Hamas and also called on the United Nations Security Council to condemn building in Israeli settlements, the official Palestinian Wafa news service reported. Kerry and Abbas discussed ongoing tensions between Israelis and Palestinians in the West Bank and Jerusalem, as well as at the Temple Mount, State Department spokesman John Kirby said in a statement. Kerry “continued to urge calm and a decrease in violence, incitement and inflammatory rhetoric,” Kirby said. “He stressed the commitment of the United States to seeking a sustainable two-state solution and to working with all parties to that end. He also reiterated our policy on the illegitimacy of Israeli settlements.” Abbas reportedly called on Kerry to pressure Israel to release Palestinian prisoner Muhammad al-Qiq, who has been on a hunger strike for 88 days to protest his administrative detention, as well as to return to their families the remains of alleged Palestinian attackers who have been shot and killed by Israeli troops and civilians during the latest round of violence against Israelis, Wafa said.

Suicide bomber kills 14 at Afghan clinic

KABUL World | Mon Feb 22, 2016 10:29am EST

A suicide bomber on a motorcycle killed 14 people and wounded another 11 at a clinic in Parwan, north of the Afghan capital Kabul on Monday, officials said. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, which it said was aimed at a local police commander. It said the civilian casualties were caused when police opened fire. Wahid Sediqqi, a spokesman for the Parwan governor, said 14 people, including six police officers and eight civilians, were killed and 11 others wounded in the attack on the clinic. The incident took place a day before representatives of Afghanistan, Pakistan, the United States and China were due to resume meetings in Kabul aimed at laying the ground for a resumption of peace talks with the Taliban.

Kasich signs bill to defund Planned Parenthood

By Tom Kludt and Cassie Spodak, CNN Updated 11:28 AM ET, Mon February 22, 2016

(CNN) Ohio Gov. John Kasich signed a bill Sunday prohibiting the state from contracting for health services with any organization that performs or promotes abortions, blocking government funds to Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood isn't explicitly named in the legislation, but the law will prevent more than $1 million in funding from the state health department from going to the nonprofit to fund programs such as HIV testing, health screenings and prevention of violence against women. Kasich, who's tried to project a more moderate image as a Republican presidential candidate on some issues, had been expected to sign the measure. A spokesman for the governor said earlier this month that he intended to sign the bill when it reached his desk. He did so Sunday, a day after finishing a distant fifth in South Carolina's primary. The bill was swiftly denounced by Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards. "This legislation will have devastating consequences for women across Ohio," Richards said in a statement. "John Kasich is proudly eliminating care for expectant mothers and newborns; he is leaving thousands without vital STD and HIV testing, slashing a program to fight domestic violence, and cutting access to essential, basic health care." On the campaign trail Kasich frequently talks about the importance of funding for expecting mothers and newborn babies. A spokesman for Kasich's gubernatorial office, Joe Andrews, said in a statement the new Ohio law is consistent with those views. "The Ohio Department of Health has at least 150 other sub-grantees and contractors for the affected grants and projects addressing such issues as new born babies, infant mortality, expectant mothers, violence against women, and minority HIV/AIDS," the statement said. "ODH will reallocate funding from ineligible providers under the new law to other currently eligible providers, ranging from local health departments and community organizations to hospitals and universities. These organizations will be required to submit proposals in order to receive funding." Many Republicans have said Planned Parenthood should be defunded, after controversial videos featuring group officials purportedly discussing the sale of fetal tissue surfaced last summer. But about a month ago, a Texas investigation into Planned Parenthood culminated in an indictment -- of the organization's accusers instead of the group. The Harris County District Attorney's office announced that Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast had been cleared in the two-month-long investigation. But the grand jury did indict two individuals who were involved in making secret recordings of the group that were released to publicly discredit the group, which provides health services and abortions. David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt were indicted for tampering with a governmental record, a second-degree felony, and Daleiden was also indicted on the count of prohibition of the purchase and sale of human organs, a class A misdemeanor, according to the Harris County district attorney. CNN's Tal Kopan contributed to this report.

Obama signs executive order, bypasses Congress, and legalizes all BLM land grabs.

Submitted by IWB, on February 23rd, 2016

This is a short video, but a most important one for land owners.

Obama is to sign an executive order, bypass Congress, and do a massive BLM land grab.

Republican Congressman of Utah says he has the BLM documents to prove it. They were initially leaked, and he says there are more coming. This is an up-to-date video (February 8, 2016), and I consider it to be a clear and present danger. I see the phrase “it has begun” on here all the time, and I will repeat it now…”it has begun”! Nevertheless, the Obama administration’s aggressive use of executive orders to unconstitutionally bypass Congress and enact its own “environmental” regulations indicates that we can expect an intensification of the adversarial attitude by federal agencies toward ranchers, farmers, and rural property owners. The EPA’s new “Waters of the United States” (WOTUS) interpretation, all by itself, guarantees collisions between federal authorities and property owners. According to Obama’s EPA, even dry land miles from any “navigable waters” is still subject to EPA’s arbitrary and capricious jurisdiction because the rainwater that sinks into the ground is somehow connected to navigable waters. This virtually guarantees an escalation of tensions and a certainty of more confrontations that could turn violent.

http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/22499-behind-the-oregon-standoff 

In yet another turn of events indicative of Obama’s tactics, the Commander-in-Chief has stooped to issuing yet another Executive Order in order to bypass Congress. The order, as so many before it, was in no way a change to the executive branch as it ultimately legalized the BLM’s authority to snatch private land. A press release recently disclosed by U.S. Congressman Rob Bishop shows that he was able to find 14 missing pages from an internal Department of Interior (DOI) that had miraculously disappeared. Those pages revealed the slithering snake that Obama truly is and the lows he’s willing to stoop to get his way.

Huge Fireball Strikes Atlantic Ocean - Did You Hear About It? Months Ago, 'Asteroid Almost Wiped Us Out' - Did The MSM Tell You? 'Cosmic Roulette' Underway In The Heavens - 'There Is An Asteroid With Our Name On It' Expert Warns 'These Things Happen'

February 23, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

While many Americans were just getting up or still sleeping back on February 6th, a massive fireball plunged into the Atlantic Ocean we are now learning from Daily Mail Science and a NASA spokesperson. Were you aware that a massive explosion equal to 13,000 tons of TNT recently happened nearly 620 miles off of the coast of Brazil? As we're told, it's very unlikely that anyone saw it though it was likely picked up by military sensors across the world. NASA and other space experts were, once again, blindsided by it. Telling us that this is fireball was the biggest to impact the planet since the Chelyabinsk fireball that had 500,000 tons of TNT energy a few years ago, we find out we're quite fortunate that this explosion took place over the ocean rather than land and according to the Daily Mail's 'Science presenter' Brian Cox, "there is an asteroid with our name on it and it will hit us" before giving us the bad news: "We are at risk of being wiped out by asteroids - and we're not taking the threat seriously." Cox also tells us the planet Earth had a 'near-miss' only a few months ago when another asteroid that "we did not see" came very, very close to striking our planet: "We didn't see it...we saw it on the way out...but if it had just been a bit further over it would have probably wiped us out. These things happen." Yes, they do... just ask the dinosaurs about it. Quite disturbing is the statement made by Cox that "we're not taking the threat seriously." The same has been said about an EMP strike upon America. We know that one, whether mad-made or unleashed by the sun, will eventually strike the US and could cause the deaths of 90% of our population... yet, government does little to nothing in the way of hardening our electronics 'en masse' and preparing for such an event. A massive asteroid striking the planet Earth would obviously make an EMP attack look like childs play. The Daily Mail story also tells us that NASA is currently tracking 1,400+ 'potentially hazardous asteroids' and it has only been 'blind luck that has so far saved humanity from serious impact. Former astronaut Ed Lu has described the situation that our planet is now facing as "cosmic roulette". How long before humanity's luck runs out? In only days, one such potentially hazardous asteroid will once again do an Earth-flyby on March 5th. We're told 2013 TX68 poses no threat to the planet but could still get very close to Earth according to NASA. The 100 foot wide asteroid will fly closer to the Earth this time than it did the last time it flew by... this time possibly as close as 11,000 miles. While a NASA spokesperson tells us: "There is no existing evidence that an asteroid or any other celestial object is on a trajectory that will impact Earth" and "In fact, not a single one of the known objects has any credible chance of hitting our planet over the next century," we'll mention he forgot to add this disclaimer: "At least not one that we are aware of and can clearly see coming at this time." How many more are they missing? Several video reports below including story of a fireball striking the Atlantic Ocean that is getting very little attention from the mainstream media as well as an update on TX68 in the 2nd video as the asteroid gets set to make its closest pass by our planet. Interestingly enough, a man from India was killed on Saturday, February 6th, after being struck by a fragment from a meteor as shared in this linked story and the 3rd video below. Could that fragment possibly have been part of the fireball that landed in the Atlantic Ocean on the same day?

An obsession with aircraft carriers may end the the United States' naval dominance if military leaders don't change their ways, a report warned today. It says China, Russia and other countries have 'increasingly lethal and precise' weapons and tactics that can destroy carriers, breaking the backbone of the Navy. Aircraft carriers are at the core of the Navy's arsenal. Not only are the fearsome juggernauts incredibly powerful and difficult to take down, there are also many of them: ten in active service. That's the exact same number of active carriers that every other country in the world has, combined. But reliance on the behemoths has made the navy complacent, and in serious danger of being taken down by new weapons and tactics displayed by other countries, according to Red Alert: The Growing Threat to U.S. Aircraft Carriers, a report released by bipartisan think-tank Center for a New American Security. The core problem that the US Navy faces, the report says, is that other countries are perfecting 'area denial' methods of blocking off combat areas so that US carriers and their planes can't get close enough to fight effectively without suffering severe damage or even destruction. They're doing that with newer aircraft, drone technology, submarines and even carrier-busting super missiles that have been developed in recent years. Last month, Iran showed off secret drone footage of the 18-year-old US carrier Harry S Truman. The newest US carrier currently in active service is the nine-year-old George HW Bush. The oldest is the Nimitz, which took to the sea in 1975. The US is currently constructing two more carriers, the Gerald R Ford and the John F Kennedy, which will be launched this year and in 2020, respectively. A third, the Enterprise, is scheduled for 2025. But, says the report, the danger is more immediate. China is 'the pacing threat' right now, with two carrier-busting missiles - the DF-21D and DF-26 - that 'represent a significant threat to the carrier,' being able to take down ships and even reach Guam, a US territory about 2,000 miles away from the Chinese coast. And Beijing showed willingness to set out areas of strong control around its borders with weaponized artificial islands last year, while placing HQ-9 anti-aircraft missiles - a type specifically identified in the report - on the disputed Woody Island in the South China Sea earlier this month. That's especially dangerous to US carriers right now because current tactics see them sailing closer to battles than they used to, so that they can send out multiple short-term air attacks rather than relying on their long-distance weapons. The new weapons owned by China and other countries, could be used along with submarines, drones and other armaments designed to restrict the movement of carriers and 'launch a saturation attack against the carrier from a variety of platforms and directions. Such an attack would be difficult - if not impossible - to defend against.' Russia is also named as a threat in the report, which points out that it made much of the technology used by China, as is Iran. All three countries are noted to be building up arms that can 'place constraints' on US carrier operation. In November last year, Russia deployed its high-tech SA-21 'Growler' anti-aircraft missiles to Syria, allowing them to target planes over the country and much of the eastern Mediterranean - exactly the kind of weapon that could be combined into an area-denial attack. Solutions given by the report include increasing the distance at which aircraft on the carrier can travel before fighting, shifting money away from carriers and towards submarines and other underwater vehicles, and focusing on future tech like the US Navy's railgun, which can fire shells at seven times speed of sound. Regardless, says the report, the US needs to quit its obsession with carriers 'and explore innovative options for future operations and force structure. 'If the United States is to maintain its military superiority well into the future, it cannot afford to do otherwise.'

Is the US becoming a police state

Are We Living In A Police State? If Someone Broke Into Your House Are You Just Going To Sit There If You Have The Means To Protect Your Family?

Imagine that one evening you’re at home getting ready to go to bed and suddenly there’s a knock on your kitchen door. Nobody ever knocks this late and you’re a little nervous, so you cautiously get up to see who’s there. Suddenly it explodes in and five or ten guys in full combat uniform swarm through the door. They knock you down and drag you outside and one of them sits on your back and cuffs your hands together while the other points a rifle at your head. Your wife is dragged screaming from the house and subjected to the same treatment. Your fourteen year old daughter is brought out with a gun pointed at her head and from inside the house you hear a gunshot as your dog is shot and killed. Then one of them tells you that they’re a SWAT team doing a raid on the house because an informant has given them your address. The men search your house and after a couple of hours come back to you, pull you to your feet, and apologize saying they were given the wrong address by their druggie informant. Sorry about that and see you later. They leave and your door is hanging open on broken hinges, your dog is dead, your wife and daughter are completely traumatized, and you feel like you’ve just be victimized by the good guys. Think it couldn’t happen? Think again. This kind of thing happens all the time around this great country of ours. Also read: World War III: Any Rights You Now Have Will Be Redefined By A Group Of Elites According To Their Standards Tough Job I’m not here to bash the police. Most of them are just guys out doing a tough job and trying to make the best of it. I will say that police work does seem to draw a higher percentage of “tough guys” than other jobs, but I think that’s just the nature of the beast. I’ve known many cops and early in my college career (fresh out of the Corps) I was studying to be a state police officer. That changed when I took a class on child abuse and I realized that line of work wasn’t the place for a young hothead like me. The instructor was a twenty year vet with some of the most awful stories you can imagine. I figured I’d walk into a house somewhere and see something terrible being done to a child and I’d pop someone right in the forehead with a .40 cal – then I’d be in jail. It was a tough decision, but I changed my major after that class. Word of the day: Prepare! And do it the old fashion way, like our fore-fathers did it and succeed long before us, because what lies ahead of us will require all the help we can get. Watch this video and learn the 3 skills that ensured our ancestors survival in hard times of famine and war. A lot of times these raids are done for something as benign as marijuana. In this story the cops banged on the door of an Army vet because they heard he was growing some weed. When they mounted the assault he was inside with a gun and one cop was killed and five others were injured. How senseless was this cop’s death? Some people will use the argument, “Well, what he was doing was illegal.” C’mon, it may be illegal, but the level of force used here was a little excessive for growing some weed. Now if he was running a meth lab or had some hostages in the house or some such I could almost understand it, but for some pot? In this story the FBI chainsawed a woman’s door down, broke in and held her at gunpoint for thirty minutes while her three year old cried in another room. After awhile they figured out that they were in the wrong apartment – and that was after a two year investigation into drugs and weapons in that apartment complex. Seems to me that after two years they’d pretty much have some idea of the apartment the bad guys were living in. And here are just a few more examples: Innocent man shot to death on raid on wrong house. Editorial about black people being raided – cops bust in on judge’s family. Cops raid wrong house Marine killed in drug raid Jose Guerena All these stories are bad, but this one takes the cake. (If you have time you should read the full analysis by a former police officer here.) Jose Guerena was a Jarhead back after two tours in Iraq. He got out to join the Border Patrol, but couldn’t because of bad vision, so he got a job working at a mine to support his family. Apparently, and for reasons that I found less than compelling, he and some of his extended family were being investigated for drugs and weapons. At 9:30 am May 5, 2011 a Pima County, Arizona SWAT team assaulted his house and, from what I can tell through much reading, completely botched the entry and wound up shooting Jose twenty-two times. If you read the analysis you’ll understand the raid was part of a series of raids and that the affidavit was more of a fishing expedition than an actual drug bust based on facts. Here’s a quick synopsis of the raid: Jose was home sleeping after working the night shift at the mine. His wife and child were home as well and that morning she looked out the window and happened to see someone out back with a gun. (Her relatives had been hit not too long before by gunmen.) She called to Jose that there were people outside with guns, so he grabbed an AR-15, put his wife and child in the closet, and went to see what was going on. Related article: Destitution, Death, Looting, Mob Rule, And A Complete Breakdown Of Law & Order. That’s What’s Happening When TSHTF [VIDEO] In the meantime the entry team lined up and knocked on the door. They waited seven seconds and then knocked it down. During the entry one of the police officers stumbled and accidentally fired his weapon causing the rest of the team to open fire and kill Guerena, who I might add did not shoot when he saw who he was facing. It seems that if his training was sufficient to hold his fire that the SWAT team’s should have been as well. Check out this video of the shooting. They shot between 70 and 80 rounds and it’s a pure miracle his wife and child weren’t killed or injured as well with the wild firing they were doing. When you watch the video remember that Jose never fired one shot in return. After all that no narcotics were found in his home. After Guerena was shot the cops left him laying there for over an hour before allowing EMS to help him. The SWAT team denied accountability for the outcome of this raid and were found to be not at fault by an investigation, which is the real tragedy if you ask me. The whole thing smelled of police cover-up right from the beginning. At one point one of the police spokesmen said, “What reasonable person comes to the front door and points a rifle at people?” I would say that if someone suddenly knocked my door down and rushed into my house while I was sleeping my first reaction would be exactly the same thing. My question is, “What reasonable person would expect a man not to defend his house if he had the training and weapons with which to do it?” After all, there have been instances of criminals pretending to be police officers where innocents wind up as victims. So what did the police say? “You point a gun at police, you’re going to get shot.” Using this reasoning if someone breaks into your house and you meet them at the door with a gun pointing at them you might as well shoot whether it’s a bad guy or a cop. Why? Because if it’s a cop they’re going to see the gun and start shooting. Maybe you can get lucky and shoot first, after all they have the element of surprise. If it’s a bad guy he’s not breaking in to bring flowers to you and your family and poses a clear risk. Shoot to kill. That logic seems to me to be the antithesis of “To Serve and Protect.” Is The Militarization of Police Necessary? My question is this: is it really necessary for the militarization of our police force at this level? I’m not talking about tinfoil hat stuff here, but I’m concerned that local governments feel it’s necessary to send in assault teams for relatively minor things – especially when they sometimes hit the wrong home. Oh come on, Jarhead. It only happens once in awhile. Sure, no big deal until it happens to you. I don’t know about you, but I damned sure don’t want to be on the receiving end of something like this. Here’s a question that’s probably already been answered, but what happens if they break into my house and I happen to be sitting on the couch with my gun next to me and I get the drop on them? I’m sitting there in my nice quiet home and then bang! Three or more guys with guns come in and line up in the fatal funnel (see above video for how not to conduct a raid) and I just pick up my gun and start shooting. Let’s say I kill two cops before I realize what’s going on. If I somehow manage to survive the raid (doubtful) can I go to prison for that? As far as I’m concerned I was protecting myself and my family, but I doubt the law would see it that way even if I had nothing to hide. If this scenario hasn’t played out yet you can bet your bottom dollar it will before too long. Also read: You Had Plenty Of Chances To Prepare For Yourself. You Can’t Come To My Place When SHTF I believe there are times and places for the SWAT team guys to do their thing, but I’m not sure that assaulting private residences is one of them. If there’s something in the house they want to see why not just wait until the suspect (s) come out and nab them then? Oh, I know it won’t always be that easy, but it beats knocking the door down of an innocent family and terrorizing or possibly killing some of them. Once again I feel like I’m leaving a lot of arguments half finished or unsaid, but I’m going to stop here due to the length of the post. Tell me what you think. Is it ok to have this threat of force hanging over your head? Hey Jarhead! There’s a drug war happening and sometimes you have to scramble a few eggs to make an omelet. Right? I know there’s a bunch of law enforcement guys that read this blog and I’d love to hear what you have to say about this. If someone broke into your house are you just going to sit there if you have the means to protect your family? Think carefully, because it is well within the realm of possibility.

Why Artificial Intelligence May Be More Dangerous Than Nuclear Weapons

February 23, 2016 by SkyWatch Editor

As we recently reported, IBM has pledged $5 million in prizes to anyone who can turn artificial intelligence into tools that could solve some of the biggest problems in the world, like climate change or world hunger — certainly ambitious projects. But as the push for AI intensifies, many are warning that it could be more dangerous than nuclear weapons if not developed carefully. But this push for the rapid development of AI has some concerned, including Professor Stuart Russell, a computer scientist at the University of California in Berkeley and the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk at Cambridge University who is known for his work on AI, according to a Daily Mail report. He believes that mankind may be “driving off a cliff” by doing this. The problem with AI is that it could be easily adapted for military use, and thus sentient computers could be in charge of some terrifying weaponry. Too much trust in AI could lead to problems down the road, Russell warned. (READ MORE)

IVF an “evolutionary experiment” – genetics expert

A leading evolutionary biologist has labelled IVF an “evolutionary experiment” that may have serious effects on children in later life. Speaking at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting in Washington DC, Dr Pascal Gagneux of University of California, San Diego said that the long-term effects of IVF are still unclear. "…We're engaging in an evolutionary experiment ... I would compare it to high fructose corn syrup and fast food in the US. It took 50 years; it was fantastic, you got bigger and healthier, and now the US are the first generation that are shorter and heavier and die younger. But it took 50 years…” He noted that the oldest IVF child in the world is only 39. According to Dr Gagneux some possible long-term side-effects are diabetes, high blood pressure and even premature death. He cited a study in which a large group of IVF and naturally conceived children were taken to a high altitude, low oxygen environment that mimicked the effects of ageing. Heart and artery malfunction was reported "very convincingly" in the assisted reproduction children, including those with brothers and sisters who were conceived naturally, Dr Gagneux said. A number of IVF specialists have responded to Dr. Gagneux’s remarks, saying he lacked evidence for his bold claims. Allan Pacey, Professor of Andrology at the University of Sheffield, said: “There is a wealth of epidemiological evidence to suggest that the babies born through IVF technologies are on the whole as healthy as their naturally conceived counterparts. “Where some differences have been observed, these are largely explained by genetic defects in the sperm of the father rather than the fact that fertilisation and embryo development occurred outside of the body. I don’t share the concerns raised by Dr Gagneux. If we were always led by the precautionary principle, medicine would never make any advances.”

False Flags To Be Used To Justify A Massive Ground Invasion Of Syria?

By Michael Snyder, on February 21st, 2016

Throughout history, governments have staged attacks on their own people in order to place the blame on their enemies. These kinds of attacks are known as “false flags”, and they are often used to justify military action. As I will explain below, it appears that we may have just seen a “false flag” attack in Turkey. The Turks needed justification for bombarding the Kurds in northern Syria, and right on cue there was a “terror attack” in Ankara. During the weeks to come, will we see more “false flag” attacks that will be used to justify a full-blown ground invasion of Syria? If you are not familiar with this concept, the following is how Wikipedia defines a “false flag”… The contemporary term false flag describes covert operations that are designed to deceive in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by entities, groups, or nations other than those who actually planned and executed them. The bomb attacks that killed 28 people in Ankara last week may have been an example of just such an attack. It is entirely possible that the PKK or the Syrian Kurds could have been responsible for the bombing. However, to me it seems at least as likely that the Turkish government set up this attack in order to blame the Kurds. Turkey had already been mercilessly shelling the Kurds in northern Syria anyway, and after the bombing in Ankara there is now a lot more support inside Turkey for further military action against the Kurds. The following comes from Reuters… Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu blamed a Syrian Kurdish militia fighter working with Kurdish militants inside Turkey for a suicide car bombing that killed 28 people in the capital Ankara, and he vowed retaliation in both Syria and Iraq. A car laden with explosives detonated next to military buses as they waited at traffic lights near Turkey’s armed forces’ headquarters, parliament and government buildings in the administrative heart of Ankara late on Wednesday. Davutoglu said the attack was clear evidence that the YPG, a Syrian Kurdish militia that has been supported by the United States in the fight against Islamic State in northern Syria, was a terrorist organization and that Turkey, a NATO member, expected cooperation from its allies in combating the group. Prior to that attack, it would have been difficult for Turkey to justify sending troops into northern Syria to fight the Kurds. After all, the Syrian Kurds had not fired a single shot at Turkish forces even though Turkey relentlessly shelled Kurdish positions all last week. But now the president of Turkey says that his nation has all the justification that it needs to do whatever it wants “to the terrorists”… Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said his country has the right to launch operations in Syria against “terrorist organizations,” in remarks that could be viewed as a shot across the bow at Russian intervention. “To fight the threats which it faces, Turkey has the right to launch any kind of operation, in Syria and wherever else the terrorist organizations are located,” Erdogan said in a speech on Saturday, according to a Dogan news agency report cited by AFP. Isn’t that convenient? Everyone knew that Turkey wanted to do something to stop the advance of the Kurds in northern Syria, and now this bombing in Ankara gives them the perfect excuse to take dramatic military action. But a bombing blamed on the Kurds is not going to give Turkey, Saudi Arabia and their allies justification to launch a full-blown ground invasion of the entire country. In order for that to happen, more false flags will probably be necessary – especially if they want the United States to be involved. Right now, the American people have very little interest in a way in Syria. But if there was some sort of major terror attack in this country that could be blamed on ISIS, that would do much to shift public opinion. Of course since the Russians, the Iranians and Hezbollah are all already inside Syria helping the Assad regime fight the radical Sunni militants that are being backed by Saudi Arabia and Turkey, a full-blown ground invasion could very easily be the spark that begins World War 3. This would be true even if the United States did not participate in the ground invasion. The following comes from USA Today… A war between Russia and Turkey would put the United States, and Europe, in an uncomfortable position. Since Turkey remains a NATO ally (though a shakier one than in the past), war between Turkey and Russia could easily suck us in. And if Turkey and Russia went to war while NATO stayed on the sidelines, the NATO alliance would be weakened. (Yes, the NATO treaty technically doesn’t obligate us to support Turkey in a war that Turkey starts, but a reliance on such niceties wouldn’t make NATO look stronger). There had been hope that a cease-fire would bring some stability to the situation in Syria, but a series of suicide bombings by ISIS on Sunday has really put a damper on that… The Islamic State asserted responsibility for bombings on Sunday that killed dozens of people in two Syrian government strongholds, casting a shadow over intensified diplomatic efforts to broker a cease-fire to the civil war. At least three explosions struck a suburb south of the capital, Damascus, leaving 50 people dead near the Sayyida Zeinab shrine that is revered by Shiite Muslims, according to Syrian state television. The area is a high-profile target for extremist Sunni groups such as the Islamic State, which rejects Shiites as apostates. Bombings earlier in the day also targeted the city of Homs, killing at least 34 people, according to the area’s governor, Talal al-Barazi. If the cease-fire had been successful, that would have lessened the urgency that Saudi Arabia and Turkey feel to get directly involved in the conflict. But now that the cease-fire looks like it is not going to hold, Saudi Arabia and Turkey are going to feel more pressure to move in and rescue the radical Sunni militants that they have been backing for the last five years. In order to do that, they are probably going to need some sort of “big event” which will give them justification in the eyes of the world to conduct a massive ground invasion of Syria. So will that “big event” be some sort of a false flag attack? We will just have to wait and see what happens…

Report: Putin Threatens Turkey With Tactical Nukes

Moscow warns Ankara that it will fiercely resist an invasion of Syria

Paul Joseph Watson - February 22, 2016

Award-winning Iran-Contra journalist Robert Parry has been told by a source close to Vladimir Putin that Russia has threatened Turkey with the use of tactical nuclear weapons if it launches a joint invasion of Syria with Saudi Arabia. Writing for Consortium News, Parry warns that the risk of the United States and its allies escalating the conflict in Syria to rescue rebels who are now on the verge of defeat could spark “World War III”. “If Turkey (with hundreds of thousands of troops massed near the Syrian border) and Saudi Arabia (with its sophisticated air force) follow through on threats and intervene militarily to save their rebel clients, who include Al Qaeda’s Nusra Front, from a powerful Russian-backed Syrian government offensive, then Russia will have to decide what to do to protect its 20,000 or so military personnel inside Syria,” writes Parry. “A source close to Russian President Vladimir Putin told me that the Russians have warned Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that Moscow is prepared to use tactical nuclear weapons if necessary to save their troops in the face of a Turkish-Saudi onslaught. Since Turkey is a member of NATO, any such conflict could quickly escalate into a full-scale nuclear confrontation.” Parry’s background suggests the information should be treated seriously. He covered the Iran-Contra scandal for the Associated Press and Newsweek and was later given a George Polk award for his work on intelligence matters. According to Parry, although President Obama has “sought to calm Erdogan down and made clear that the U.S. military would not join the invasion,” he has been “unwilling to flatly prohibit such an intervention”. Moscow’s alleged threat to repel a Turkish invasion of Syria with nuclear weapons follows comments by Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev in which he warned of a new world war if the United States and its allies send ground troops into Syria. Turkey and Saudi Arabia have both signaled they are considering a ground invasion of Syria in order to aid refugees and so-called “moderate rebels” fighting against the Assad regime. Last week, Turkish officials called for a “safe zone” to be established within Syria to allow refugees to flee Russia’s advance, although the United States argued that such a corridor could not be set up without a no fly zone. Saudi Arabia is currently conducting the biggest war games the region has seen for a quarter of a century. Northern Thunder involves 150,000 troops from 20 countries and is viewed by some as a precursor to a possible invasion of Syria. Earlier this month, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir told CNN that President Bashar al-Assad will have to be removed “by force” if the political process fails. Despite official denials that the kingdom possesses nuclear weapons, Saudi political analyst told RT’s Arabic network last week that the Saudis have indeed obtained the bomb and that tests will be conducted soon.

"This critical shipment will help us continue to enable the Nato alliance," Colonel Matthew Redding told US military newspaper Stars and Stripes on Sunday. "The fact that it's the biggest single shipment in 10 years demonstrates our continued commitment to the defence of our allies," Redding added. According to the paper, it took 415 shipping containers to move the ammunition across the Atlantic. It will be stored at a depot in Miesau, Rhineland-Palatinate, the US Army's largest munitions store outside the USA. Stepping up presence According to the US Department of Defence, there are currently 36,691 soldiers from all branches of the US military currently in Germany, including 22,000 soldiers, 500 sailors, 1,000 marines and 13,100 from the Air Force. Recent moves in response to Russia's sending troops into Ukraine have seen the US reverse some of its gradual reduction in numbers in Europe, especially Germany where it has had large bases since the end of the Second World War. Early last year, the Air Force returned 12 A-10 'tankbuster' aircraft to Germany. Designed to attack large formations of Soviet tanks during the Cold War, the heavily-armoured planes are armed with a 30mm rotary cannon and can carry a variety of bombs and missiles. And Nato has been engaged in a stepped-up training schedule all over eastern Europe since early 2014 in a bid to show Russia the alliance won't put up with further westward aggression. Exercises have been going on throughout eastern Europe and the Baltic nations, which are particularly fearful of Moscow.

Venezuela Burning Venezuela on the brink

The conditions are right…for a coup. Large scale political unrest, severe economic problems based upon a mismanaged socialist economy (as per the standard) and brought even closer by plunging oil values. Coupled with violence unchecked, it won’t be long before a change is forced in. The socialist government was voted out not that long ago; but what replaced it? The numbers of criminal vigilantes roaming the streets is nothing new either; for over a year now they’ve had endemic street crimes revolving around dirt bikers with machetes and sub machine guns- and it looks to be ramping up further. Whenever there is economic strife, coupled with a large mass of disenfranchised and unemployed youth, and a government that fails to deliver, you have a coup; and almost 100% of the time, they’re sponsored from an outside source. MLCOA Conditions will worsen for the remainder of the month; the government teeters on default. Expect a bailout from Russia soon, even if Putin takes a loss. China will likely intervene as well. Like all forms of welfare, the money won’t last long. Expect something from the BRICS nations in the economics news. MDCOA Conditions will stay on track, and the government will collapse, resulting in a new military junta, backed even more closely by Cuba. It is unknown how this will work with “normalized” Cuban relations with the Obama administration, however an overthrow of the counter-marxist elected government is likely the plan all along. This will prompt a reaction from Russia, as they have several investments in Venezuela, including oil and weapons(Izhmash has a factory in Caracas) which they cannot take a loss upon. Why any of this matters As I stated, it is very likely that this is a coup in the making; with the already frosty relations between Russia and the US, this has very, very deep implications prompting an almost guaranteed response. With a proxy war on two fronts already, and high activity from HM01(a Cuban Numbers Station…examples here and here), it’s worthy to note that a potential third front is opening up just to our south. It is this third area which little attention is being paid by the media(and why I’m writing about it) that you should be looking to. Be informed. It matters; it’s a predictor of things to come.

The radical plan to destroy time zones

By Adam Taylor February 12 Source: CIA (Laris Karklis / The Washington Post)

Last Summer, North Korea did something a little odd. On the 70th anniversary of Korea's liberation from Japanese occupation, the closed and authoritarian state announced it was permanently turning its clocks back half an hour. The country was creating its own time zone: Pyongyang time. As a plan, it didn't make a lot of sense. Many, understandably, interpreted it as just another example of Pyongyang's characteristically illogical policy logic. Yet Pyongyang time also highlighted something else. All around the world, time zones make little sense. Russia currently has 11 time zones, while China just has one. Spanish people are said to be constantly tired because they are in the wrong time zone. Nepal is –inexplicably – the only country in the world to have a time zone that is set to 45 minutes past the hour. Looking over this chaotic landscape, it's reasonable to ask: Are time zones inherently flawed? That's what Steve Hanke and Dick Henry think. A few years back Hanke, a prominent economist with Johns Hopkins University and a senior fellow with the CATO Institute think tank, and Henry, a professor of physics and astronomy at Johns Hopkins, teamed up to propose a new calendar designed to fix the inefficiencies of the current one. The plan was dubbed the "Hanke-Henry Permanent Calendar." Last month, after reading a WorldViews story about Pyongyang time, Hanke reached out to us to detail another idea that he and Henry had devised to fix the chaos caused by time zones. The plan was strikingly simple. Rather than try to regulate a variety of time zones all around the world, we should instead opt for something far easier: Let's destroy all these time zones and instead stick with one big "Universal Time." [North Korea’s new time zone already has an enemy] Does that sound extreme? Perhaps, but perhaps not. This map at the top of this post gives you an idea of what the world looks like now, and what it would like if we instead stuck to single system of Universal Time. The logic of Universal Time is strikingly simple: If it's 7 in the morning in Washington D.C., it's 7 everywhere else in the world too. There are no time zones. Wherever you are, the time is the same. While it may ultimately simplify our lives, the concept would require some big changes to the way we think about time. As the clocks would still be based around the Coordinated Universal Time (the successor to Greenwich Mean Time that runs through Southeast London) most people in the world would have to change the way they consider their schedules. In Washington, for example, that means we'd have to get used to rising around noon and eating dinner at 1 in the morning. (Okay, perhaps that's not that big a change for some people.) [How to celebrate New Year’s in every time zone] But in many other ways, Hanke and Henry argue, the new system would make communication, travel and trade across international borders far, far easier. WorldViews recently conducted an interview over email with Hanke and Henry in which they explained why time zones had to go, why Universal Time was a better system, and why the time has also come for their proposed calendar reform. The exchange, lightly edited for clarity, is below (Hanke and Henry gave joint responses to the questions). WorldViews: It was mentioned in a previous email that there were around five countries who changed their time zones last year. Is this a large number for one year? Hanke and Henry: It is about par for the course. It remains a political football, which would disappear if our ideas were adopted. WV: So why do countries change their time zones? HH: Usually for political reasons, but sometimes for economic reasons. We are on the right side of history: Look at the U.S., where local time in each city was the norm until the railroads came, and time zones were created. Sandford Flemming, a Scottish-Canadian railway engineer, was the first to propose a system of world-wide time zones in 1889: “the twin agencies steam and electricity” annihilated distances and made reform necessary. Today the agency of the Internet has annihilated time and space completely, and has set us up for adoption of world-wide time. WV: What problems have time zones created around the world? HH: [Former President Dmitry] Medvedev consolidated Russian time to some extent in 2010, but these reforms have been undone by the Duma in July 2014. Bungled implementation of a good idea. Now North Korea has adopted a half-hour difference between Chinese time and Japanese time. Confusion abounds! Indonesia, where one of us (Hanke) was [former President] Suharto’s chief economic advisor during the Asian financial crisis of 1998, is a large country that you should keep your eye on, as they have proposed to abolish two of their three time zones for economic reasons. That would put Indonesia in the same time zone as Singapore.

WikiLeaks: NSA spied on UN’s Ban Ki-Moon & other world leaders for US oil companies

Published time: 23 Feb, 2016 04:05 Edited time: 23 Feb, 2016 10:31

Wikileaks published a new trove of top secret documents revealing that the NSA spied on the private meetings of major world leaders, including UN chief Ban Ki-Moon, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, as well as the prime ministers of Italy and Israel. The National Security Agency (NSA) listened in on high-level meetings on climate change, global economics, and even “how to deal with [US President Barack] Obama,” according to the new documents released by WikiLeaks. “Today we showed that UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon’s private meetings over how to save the planet from climate change were bugged by a country intent on protecting its largest oil companies,” said WikiLeaks founder and editor Julian Assange about NSA activities.

Justice Dept. favors ban on proof of citizenship for voter registration

By Ann Marie Awad | Feb. 22, 2016 at 3:06 PM

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 (UPI) -- The Justice Department supports blocking voter registration forms that require proof of citizenship in three states, according to court filings. The department urged U.S. District Judge Richard Leon on Monday to issue a preliminary injunction to prevent Kansas, Alabama and Georgia from using the forms. The injunction was requested by the League of Women Voters, which is suing the U.S. Elections Assistance Commission over the forms. The League brought the suit, alleging that the requirement to prove citizenship acts as a barrier to voter registration, particularly for poor, minority and elderly voters who may not have the required documentation. The Justice Department's decision to support the ban is unusual because the department would otherwise be in the position of defending the EAC in the suit. EAC executive director Brian Newby issued a directive on Jan. 29 allowing those three states to add the citizenship requirement to the registration forms. In 2013, the Supreme Court struck down an Arizona law that similarly required proof of citizenship in the voter registration process. However, the late Justice Antonin Scalia wrote in the court's majority opinion that states could seek approval from the EAC for changes to voter registration forms. A year later, a federal appeals court ruled that the EAC was not required to make such changes to the federal registration form. The Supreme Court declined to review that ruling last year. Since the federal forms have no requirement that voters provide documentation of their citizenship, those that have registered using the federal form effectively worked around the requirement. But Kansas Secretary of State Chris Kobach sought to close the loophole by saying that voters who used the federal form would not be able to vote in state or local elections. A judge struck down that requirement Friday. The Kansas City Star reported Kobach planned to appeal.

Growing Number Of Students Want To Be ‘Marked’ With Microchips… AND THEIR PARENTS APPROVE

February 23, 2016 by SkyWatch Editor

A growing tech trend takes personal computing to its highest level. It’s gone from “hands-on” to “hands-in.” More and more people are “bio-hacking” their bodies with implanted computer chips that can perform a wide range of tasks. Garrett Frey is already an accomplished entrepreneur and other than that seems like a pretty typical 21-year-old college student. Until you look more closely. “It’s right here in my left hand. You can see it and feel it if you touch it,” he said. Hardly bigger than a grain of rice is a radio frequency identification device implanted between Frey’s thumb and index finger. Using an app on his phone, Frey uses the chip to open the deadbolt on his front door and unlock his phone. “You can program it to send specific texts, turn on an alarm, set a timer, turn off your WI-FI. There’s a vast number of things you can do with the actual chip,” said Frey. Frey’s chip was injected using a syringe. He had a professional do it. The chip and insertion cost him $150. He’s had it for more than a year but just recently told his parents, “You get your ears pierced or a tattoo that’s one thing. Geting an actual implant of an rfid chip, it can be a taboo subject.” His parents are okay with it. (READ MORE)

The Prophecy of The Presidents

The other night I realized the names of all 44 Presidents tells a story. Understanding this was a time consuming undertaking I figured I’d shelf it and get to it later. As with the majority of what I’ve worked on, it sits on the shelf (desktop). That is until I received an email from a reader within an hour mentioning this specific idea. In the time I’ve been doing whatever it is I do, I had never thought of pursuing this and I had never received an email referencing it. More specifically, in the 12,480 hours I’ve had this website the idea never came up but when it did it was a double tap within the same hour, or a .008% chance. I felt compelled to proceed. This is about symbolism. The meaning of names speaks to a prophetic message but the corresponding etymologies to each President does not lay specific claim to their role or character. We are taking a big picture approach to something that extends far beyond the realms of human reason. Reason must be employed to fully appreciate what lies herein, but reason alone cannot explain the intricacies. Not surprisingly, the message has a primary emphasis on God’s sovereignty, His abounding grace and the work of the cross. I was surprised to see such clear mentions of the Antichrist by way of warning. Introduction Among the numerous parallels between Israel and The United States, one of the most striking is the number of kings. You can argue that Israel and Judah had 44 if you count them as you do Presidents. Grover Cleveland was the 22nd and 24th President, for this reason Obama is the 44th and not the 43rd. After the kingdom split into Israel and Judah, Israel’s kings from Jeroboam to Hoshea was 248 years. This puts us into a close time frame for where we are in America’s history. This is ancient Israel and Judah prior to the Babylonian captivity as we approach the prophetic hour of the Babylon of Revelation. The United States is a Gentile brother of Israel, a type and shadow. Jehoiakim of Judah ruled for 11 years and was on the throne when Babylon besieged Jerusalem. His name is the Hebrew equivalent of Joaquin, the hurricane from 130 days ago. The day the walls were breached on the Hebrew calendar is the exact day gay marriage passed the Supreme Court on 6/26/15. The name means “Lifted by Yahweh” and you would say Israel like America were both lifted by Yahweh. It appears we are approaching that period in America’s history where this once great nation comes to a halt. The debt alone could not be paid off with all the wealth that presently exists on the earth. There are people whose entire life purpose is to destroy the US and in the nuclear age this is conceivable. Let us not overlook the entitled masses who look for any opportunity to loot and start a revolution. America is in lock step with ancient Israel particularly in how prosperity led to turning from God while turning towards idolatry. The need for God has been replaced by toys and vanity. The church has largely become a gathering place for people to feel better about themselves; a conjoining of self-help and the power of positive thinking under the corporate model of attracting new members. An underlying subtext to this approach beyond greed is that the gospel needs charisma laced with ego stroking to get through to someone. The miraculous work of the Holy Spirit has been displaced by the marketing skills of egomaniacs who have been reading Napoleon Hill books and attending pastor’s conferences more akin to Tony Robbins than Jonathan Edwards. This was Israel. The fundamental human disposition when God becomes a distant entity whose only purpose (if any) is to give you the thumbs up because you fulfilled a requirement of recitation at some point in your life. Offer a sacrifice in a corner and congratulate yourself, while your life is anything but a living sacrifice (Romans 12). While we are Biden our time with the Obamination prior to the desolation…. The United States was not founded by happen stance but by The Most High who used individuals in its formation. It was brought about by men and women, some of whom sought religious freedom and others who sought wealth. From its inception we saw wheat and tares grow up together. We had conquering looters ravaging the innocent as well as God fearing and honorable people. Such is the case with any people group (perhaps with the exception of ISIS), you have individuals who fear God and you have monsters. It is rare that you find a large grouping of people that is entirely homogenous. The critics of America’s founding claim they were all slave owners and greedy rapists. Others place fallen men on a pedestal no man should occupy. A point often lost in this mess is the sovereign God who has plans over world history that far exceed our limited scope of understanding. He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. Daniel 2:21 Our Creator has orchestrated the raising up and lowering down of all kings and empires to ever exist. As we approach the setting sun of America’s elevated position it would be helpful to look at the names of the list of kings who have ruled this abundantly blessed nation. God had a plan when He birthed this country and it has successfully accomplished all He intended for it. That is, to be a vehicle to spread the gospel to the far reaches of the earth and assist in returning Israel to a nation state. Among other things, the United States and her people have experienced the widest range of human experiences known to man in its 239 short years. We went from the first automobile to the moon. Where communication used to take days or weeks by horseback we now push a button anywhere in the world. Warfare in the states began with a musket and now an entire country can be obliterated in under an hour with the push of a button. The good, the bad and the ugly. While we live in a world full of sin, great evil will exist but also the light. The shining city on the hill has become but a camp fire a top a mountain of ruins, while Ishtar continues to light the harbor of the harlot. Anyone who is awake understands it is but a short matter of time before the light goes out. Though the national light goes dark, there are many individual lights which will shine all the brighter until the day dawns. We mustn’t lose hope as we sense the darkness encroaching but rather fully embrace this unique moment in history which will reverberate for all of eternity. Watchman, how far gone is the night? Watchman, how far gone is the night?” The watchman says, “Morning comes but also night. Isaiah 21:11-12 Only God can ensure a prophetic message spanning generations. Since He knows the number of hairs each person has on their head I think it’s safe to say He knows what their name will be. If He cares about a sparrow that falls to the ground and the lilies of the field, it’s safe to say He cares about the name of one of the leaders He appoints to power in this world. It is important to understand the subtleties. Jacob means supplanter and supplant can mean “overthrow, dispossess, usurp, secede, unseat, undermine etc.” Jacob can also refer to grafted in Gentiles as descendants. Each name has specific meanings that are only straightforward when you look at them in context. Here is an example of what we will be doing with the Presidents. The Gospel is hidden in the genealogy of Genesis… Hebrew – English Adam – Man Seth – Appointed Enosh – Mortal Kenan – Sorrow; Mahalalel – The Blessed God Jared – Shall come down Enoch – Teaching Methuselah – His death shall bring Lamech – The Despairing Noah – Rest, or comfort.

Man was appointed mortal sorrow. The Blessed God shall come down, teaching and His death shall bring the despairing rest and comfort. The following will not be as straight forward. Though you could say all the names here have specific meanings, they require a little fleshing out. Whereas “appointed” or “teaching” are very specific when we are looking at two and three names per individual it becomes less precise. For this reason I put in bold a general summarized meaning for each name. We will see that some of the words can mean one of two things, both are correct etymologies of the words but only one of them may apply to the overall message. I don’t advise you take my word for it and skip to the message. In doing so, you will miss quite a lot of the necessary reflections to draw out the deeply prophetic meanings. The Presidents We will cover each individual President’s name before tying it together. Please do not skip wading through the exhaustive list. The context and explanations particular the scriptural reference are essential to grasping the intricacy and scope. 1. George Washington – George – tiller of the soil, farmer. Washington – from the intelligent one’s farm. From the town of Wassa’s people. Wassa – The word ‘wassa’ itself means ‘hunting’ and this suggests logically that in both cases the meaning is “the hunting lodge” or similar. Hunt and farm the land. Farmers and hunters. One cultivates to create sustenance the other destroys life for sustenance. Hunters and farmers, both are acceptable and pleasing for life. In the symbolic sense, we see a distinction. That is, hunters and destroyers grow up alongside cultivators and growers. Hunt and farm the land. The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Deuteronomy 28:8 2. John Adams – John – God is gracious, has shown favor. Adams – Hebrew adam “man,” literally “(the one formed from the) ground” (Hebrew adamah “ground”); compare Latin homo “man,” humanus “human,” humus “earth, ground, soil.” Adam is related to red, ground, ruddy. God is gracious and has shown favor to man whom He created out of the earth. 3. Thomas Jefferson – Thomas – masc. proper name, from Greek Thomas, of Aramaic origin and said to mean “a twin”. Jefferson – son of Geoffrey. Geoffrey district, traveler, or peaceful pledge. masc. personal name, attested in England by late 11c., from Old French Geuffroi, from Medieval Latin Gaufridus, from Old High German gewi “district” (German Gau; see gau) + fridu “peace”. The twin son district (nation). 4. James Madison – James – From Jacob, he grasps the heel, supplanter. Madison – surname attested from early 15c., probably in many cases a variant of Mathieson “son of Matthew,” Son of Matthew – Hebrew Mattathyah “gift of Jehovah,” from mattath “gift.” Jehovah’s (The Provider) gift to the descendants of Jacob. Israel was blessed through The United States. Divine providence founded the country that He would use to bless Israel. 5. James Monroe – Jacob – he grasps the heel, supplanter. Monroe “from the mouth of roe”. Marilyn Monroe dies in 1962 and won Golden Globe for “Some Like It Hot”. Roe v Wade decision. Roe was a river in Ireland. The mouth of Roe would overthrow (supplant) “Jane Roe” was the plaintiff in Roe v Wade, she later changed her position and became a staunch defender of the prolife position. Remarkable, “from the mouth of Roe” The United States would begin to sacrifice more babies than any country in history, far more than to Molech. From the mouth of one woman who would later realize her position which resulted in the legalization of child sacrifice was a result of deception. From the mouth of Roe, America usurped, rebelled against God’s gift. 6. John Quincy Adams – John, God is gracious has shown favor. Quincy – 5th, also ordinary American citizen, John Q Public, taken from John Quincy Adams. Adams – man from earth. God has shown favor, grace (5) to man from this land (ordinary American citizen). No other country in the history of mankind has afforded as much freedom and rights to so many. The advancements in technology and world aid is unprecedented. Despite America’s failings and rampant depravity God had His hand on this country. Since we supplanted, the decline has been accelerating. Keep in mind, an impoverished single woman can give birth to children with no form of income and receive income from the government. Individuals who grow up in poverty can achieve massive wealth a concept that never existed in previous civilizations. Despite the income disparities you must view this in relation to other civilizations and the bar of a world that is not perfect. 7. Andrew Jackson – Andrew – manly. Greek Andreas, from andreios “manly,” from aner (genitive andros) “man”. Jackson – Son of Jack. Jack – English the name always has been regarded as a familiar form of John, and some have argued that it is a native formation. In Middle English spelled Jakke, Jacke, etc., and pronounced as two syllables (“Jackie”). Those whom God has shown favor are noble, brave and courageous. The land of the brave. God has shown favor to the land of the brave. Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. Joshua 1:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:6 8. Martin Van Buren – Martin – Of Mars (the Roman god of war); warlike. Famous Bearer: black civil-rights leader Martin Luther King. Van – Dutch “of” or “from”. Buren, small town on island north of Netherlands. The war comes from a small island. Think civil war, race war. A small match can set an entire forest on fire. Ferguson was a microcosm. The famous bearer who shares a name with this president is the most notable figure connected with race relations in America’s history. If you research the growing fringe groups Black Panthers and KKK, they both are awaiting the first shots and know it is only a matter of time. Now think spiritually, the war that rages. A small seed of rebellion begins the turning away and ultimately ends in calamity. The war began small. 9. William Henry Harrison – William – Resolute protector; will, helmet. Henry – Rules his household. Harrison – Son of Harry. Harry – Home or House Ruler. One may rule or protect his household but the son of the House Ruler is resolute. The House Ruler protects the households. 10. John Tyler – John – God is gracious, has shown favor. Tyler – one who makes tiles. A tile is a flat thin slab of fired clay, rubber, linoleum, etc., usually square or rectangular and sometimes ornamental, used with others to cover a roof, floor, wall, etc. We all are tile makers, contribute small squares to the tapestry of God’s creation. By God’s gracious favor you have been called to contribute to God’s tapestry. That their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ. Colossians 2:2 11. James K. Polk – James – he grasps the heel, supplanter. Knox – small hill. Polk – reduced form of Pollock. German (of Slavic origin): from an altered pet form of the Slavic personal name Boleslav, composed of the elements bole ‘great’, ‘large’ + slav ‘glory’. From the secession out of a small hill came great glory. Think of the US seceding from the British Empire and think about Bunker hill. 12. Zachary Taylor – In Hebrew the meaning of the name Zachary is: Remembered by God. Taylor – means “tailor” Latin taliare a cutter or one who cuts. Remembered by God, He who cuts off. God raises up and He cuts down. God sees all, He remembers a nations transgressions and brings judgment in His time. God remembers and cuts off. For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either. Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God’s kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off. Romans 11:21-22 13. Millard Fillmore – Millard – from a Germanic personal name composed of the elements mil ‘good’, ‘gracious’ + hard ‘hardy’, ‘brave’, ‘strong’. Fillmore – Norman personal name, Filimor, composed of the Germanic elements filu ‘very’ + mari, meri ‘famous’, means well known. The gracious, brave and strong will be well known. The good America has done through its gracious and brave servants will not be forgotten. The gracious and brave will be exalted. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Psalm 27:14 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. Psalm 37:34 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 1 Corinthians 13:12 14. Franklin Pierce – Franklin – Middle English Frankeleyn, attested as a surname from late 12c., from Anglo-French fraunclein “freeholder, land-owner of free but not noble birth,” from Old French franc “free”. Pierce – “make a hole in; force one’s way through,” from Anglo-French perser, Old French percier “pierce, transfix, drive through”. The Land Owner was pierced so that man could be free and of noble birth. The earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein. Psalm 24:1 But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed. Isaiah 53:5 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1 15. James Buchanan – James – he grasps the heel, supplanter. Buchanan – ‘house of the canon’. Canon – a general law, rule, principle, or criterion by which something is judged. The descendants of Jacob adhere to the canon. Remember, James is Jacob and Jacob is the supplanter and Jacob is Israel. The United States is not Israel, but the Gentiles who were blessed by being grafted into Jacob’s tree through the Messiah took this truth to the ends of the earth. God blessed The United States which in turn blessed Israel. Without the United States Israel would not exist today, God used this country to fulfill His promise. The canon or Bible is there for the descendants of Jacob and grafted in Gentiles. The descendants of Jacob have My word. Now consider the amount of Bibles produced and distributed because of the United States. He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. Psalm 147:19 16. Abraham Lincoln – Abraham – father of a multitude. Also known as “father of faith”. Lincoln – from Latin Lindum Colonia from a Latinized form of British *lindo “pool, lake”. The descendants of the faith drink from living waters. We have references of living waters, the Spirit. Baptism in water into new birth and the healing pool of Bethesda. From the faith of Abraham you may drink of living water. But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. John 4:14 Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead. Colossians 2:12 Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you– not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience– through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 1 Peter 3:21 17. Andrew Johnson – Andrew – manly. Greek Andreas, from andreios “manly,” from aner (genitive andros) “man”. Johnson – son of John. John – God is gracious, has shown favor. God has shown favor and grace through the Son of Man. God’s grace and favor was shown through the Son of Man What is man that You take thought of him, And the son of man that You care for him? Psalm 8:4 Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. Matthew 20:28 18. Ulysses S. Grant (born Hiram Ulysses Grant) – Ulysses – Wrathful; hater. Hiram Probably of Phoenician origin, though it could be from Hebrew meaning “exalted brother”. This was the name of a king of Tyre in the Old Testament. Grant – grand, tall, great. The exalted brother will grow tall and great and bring about wrath and be hated among the nations. The exalted brother grew great and became hated among the nations. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. Matthew 23:12 19. Rutherford B. Hayes – Rutherford – named with an early British river name of unknown etymology + Old English ford ‘ford’. Birchard – Hardy birches, dweller of the hard birch. Birch trees – they are a typically rather short-lived pioneer species widespread in the Northern Hemisphere. Known as pioneer species because they inhabit land destroyed by fire. Birch trees produce 1 million seeds per year. Hayes – originated as a Gaelic polygenetic surname “O hAodha”, meaning descendant of Aodh (“fire”), or of Aed, an Irish mythological god. Though your pioneered and sprouted up in the land with much water, you turned to myhological gods and will be destroyed by their fire. But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the Day of Judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 2 Peter 3:7 20. James Garfield – James – he grasps the heel, supplanter. Garfield – From the triangular field. From an Old English surname and place name, meaning ‘field of spears’. The ones who seek to overthrow dwell in the triangular field and use weapons of war. Think of the symbols of triangles everywhere. The evil societies which rule this world in service to Horus, who manufacture warfare with America being the tip of the spear. The spear pierced Jesus’ side and triangles appear on our money and everywhere else connected with the Satanic. The usurpers can be found in a field of triangles and spears. And He will judge between the nations, And will render decisions for many peoples; And they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks Nation will not lift up sword against nation, And never again will they learn war. Isaiah 2:4 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. John 19:34 21. Chester A. Arthur – Chester – Latin ‘castra’ meaning camp. Alan – Harmony, stone, or noble. Also fair, handsome. Arthur – From the Roman clan name Artorius, meaning noble, courageous. The camp of the noble and courageous, dwell in harmony. He shall remain unclean as long as he has the disease. He is unclean. He shall live alone. His dwelling shall be outside the camp. Leviticus 13:46 When He rained meat upon them like the dust, even winged fowl like the sand of the seas, Then He let them fall in the midst of their camp, Round about their dwellings. So they ate and were well filled, and their desire He gave to them. Psalm 78: 27-29 22. Grover Cleveland – Grover – Grove dweller. Grove – a small wood, orchard, or group of trees. Cleveland – From the cliff land. Dwelling among the trees on a cliff. When you are on the cliff, you are but a short step from falling over into the abyss. A cliff is high above but only a stone’s throw away from its demise. Trees represent life, offspring, abundance and fertility. We are grafted into the Tree of Life but they also get cut off. We see a picture of judgment, falling over the cliff but in the context of a nation. Remember, there is individual judgment and national judgment. Grown as trees on a cliff. You worship your idols with great passion beneath the oaks and under every green tree. You sacrifice your children down in the valleys, among the jagged rocks in the cliffs. Isaiah 57:5 23. Benjamin Harrison – Benjamin – In Hebrew the meaning of the name Benjamin is: Son of my right hand. Harrison – Son of Harry. Harry – Home or House Ruler. The Son of my right hand is the Ruler of the House. But from now on the Son of Man shall be seated at the right hand of the power of God. Luke 22:69 For every house is built by some man; but he that built all things is God. Hebrews 3:4 24. Grover Cleveland (See Above) 25. William McKinley – William – Resolute protector; will. McKinley – son of Finley. Finley – from the Gaelic personal name Fionnlagh (Old Irish Findlaech), composed of the elements fionn ‘white’, ‘fair’ (see Finn) + laoch ‘warrior’, ‘hero’, which seems to have been reinforced by an Old Norse personal name composed of the elements finn ‘Finn’ + leikr ‘fight’, ‘battle’, ‘hero’. The Son is resolute, mighty in battle and clothed in white. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. Revelation 19:14 Who is this King of glory? The LORD, strong and mighty, the LORD, mighty in battle. Psalm 24:8 26. Theodore Roosevelt – Theodore – Derived from the Latin Theodorus, which is from the Greek Theodōros, a compounding of the elements theos (god) and dōron (a gift): hence, “God’s gift.” Roosevelt – “from rose field” or “of a rose field.” Rose, the universal symbol for love. Roses are red, the blood spilled to atone for sin. God’s gift is His love. 27. William Howard Taft – William – Resolute protector, will. Howard – noble watchman. Taft – topographic name or habitational name from a dialect variant of Old and Middle English toft ‘curtilage’, ‘site’, ‘homestead’. The noble watchman is resolute but the Lord protects the homestead. Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain. Psalm 127:1 “And I set watchmen over you, saying, and ‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’ But they said, ‘We will not listen.’ Jeremiah 6:17 The oracle concerning Edom One keeps calling to me from Seir, “Watchman, how far gone is the night? Watchman, how far gone is the night?” The watchman says, “Morning comes but also night. If you would inquire, inquire; Come back again.” Isaiah 21:11-12 “I, the LORD, am its keeper; I water it every moment So that no one will damage it, I guard it night and day. Isaiah 27:3 28. Woodrow Wilson – Woodrow – Row of houses made of wood or hedge or a row of trees. Wilson – son of Will. Will, resolute protector…helmet. Only the Son protects the rows of houses across the land. The house of God has been made into a robbers den, the protection of the rows of houses will not last long. Understand where your help comes from, not by the strength of your sword or US military might. There is far more going on than the puny physical armies of the world. When we take helm, helmet or head covering with William we see: Your dwellings have a head covering of protection from the Son. For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. Psalm 44:6 29. Warren G. Harding (the original “Warren G”?) – Warren – “animal enclosure”. Gamaliel – recompense of God. Harding – ‘H(e)arding’, the patronymic form of ‘H(e)ard’, and meaning ‘the son of the hard one’! The wild animals will receive just recompense and in that day they will say the Son is firm. (Hard, solid, firm, and resistant to pressure, unwavering). But man in his pomp will not endure; He is like the beasts that perish. Psalm 49:12 But these, like unreasoning animals, born as creatures of instinct to be captured and killed, reviling where they have no knowledge, will in the destruction of those creatures also be destroyed. 2 Peter 2:12 And the humbling of King Nebuchadnezzar… He was also driven away from mankind, and his heart was made like that of beasts, and his dwelling place was with the wild donkeys He was given grass to eat like cattle, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until he recognized that the Most High God is ruler over the realm of mankind and that He sets over it whomever He wishes. Daniel 5:2130. Calvin Coolidge – Calvin – Latin Calvinus (calvus means “bald” in Latin). Coolidge – an occupational name for a college servant or someone with some other association with a university college, for example a tenant farmer who farmed one of the many farms in England known as College Farm, most of which are or were owned by university colleges. Though you boast of your education and toil the field on universities you are becoming more ignorant. Foolish and arrogant, you think you are wise but you are stupid. The Most High numbered the hairs on your head and has left you bear. You are bald, the pride of your head is naked as is that which lies beneath. All is seen and known by Him, stop with your vain pursuits of worldly knowledge which is foolishness. Your human education has left you naked. Your human wisdom has left you naked. 31. Herbert Hoover – Herbert – Illustrious warrior. Army. Bright. Hoover – a landowner or a prosperous small farmer. The Bright Illustrious Warrior is the Landowner. For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. Matthew 20:1 The LORD will march out like a champion, like a warrior he will stir up his zeal; with a shout he will raise the battle cry and will triumph over his enemies. Isaiah 42:13 32. Franklin D. Roosevelt – Franklin – Middle English Frankeleyn, attested as a surname from late 12c., from Anglo-French fraunclein “freeholder, land-owner of free but not noble birth,” from Old French franc “free”. Deleanor, “d” elenore – “d” – is a designation of nobility. Elenore – “sun ray, shining light”. Deleanor’s wife Eleanor it is said has communicated with Hillary with Clinton. Roosevelt – “from rose field” or “of a rose field.” The Land Owner has granted freedom through His love to be born of noble birth, He is the Light of the world. Here is the video of Bill Clinton speaking about how Hillary has been talking to a spirit pretending to be Eleanor. “Commune on a regular basis”. In other interviews Bill has spoken of their regular trips to California where Hillary meets with her coven. This is not crazy conjecture folks, it’s simply paying attention to people’s words. Truth is stranger than fiction. Stop believing the fiction so you can discern the truth. 33. Harry S. Truman (the 33rd President who nuked) – Harry – Home or House Ruler. Truman – “trusty man”. Trust no man, especially the one who claims to rule the house there is but One Ruler. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. Psalm 118:8 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. Micah 7:5 34. Dwight D. Eisenhower – From a surname, derived from Diot, a Latin Dionysius or Dionysia, referring to the god of wine. Dionysius – is the god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine, of ritual madness, fertility, theatre and religious ecstasy in Greek mythology. David – beloved, friend. Eisenhower – “iron hewer” or one who molds and shapes iron. Iron in the Bible symbolizes strength and natural truth. The man child of Revelation 12 will rule the world with a rod of iron. In Daniel’s prophecy, the legs of iron symbolized the Roman Empire’s rule. Iron is known for its strength. Here we see ritual madness mixed with strength. The beloved friend has given himself over to ritual madness, theatre and drunkenness, just prior to the arrival of the man child. We also have a sense of America’s global strength, trotting around the world with our modern day equivalent of iron swords in every region. God is the only one who rules with iron and any country who believes they have power only rules under God’s sovereign decree. Be sober, for the day fast approaches when He who comes to rule with the rod of iron will appear. Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming. 1 Peter 1:13 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.” And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne. Revelation 12:5 Here we see the iron scepter with reference to wine (Dionysius) in the same verse… Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. Revelation 19:5 35. John F. Kennedy – John – God is gracious, has shown favor. Fitzgerald – fitz – “son of”, Gerald – Ruling spear. Kennedy – composed of two elements: the first, ceann, means “head”; the second, éidigh, means “ugly”. God has shown favor even to the sons who descend from the ugly (offensive, disgusting) head (chief, principle). But when grace is shown to the wicked, they do not learn righteousness; even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil and do not regard the majesty of the LORD. Isaiah 26:10 The head of the snake, the ugly offensive and depraved. The Lord has mercy on whom He has mercy. In the history of The United States, God has shown favor and blessed the nation despite its countless reprehensible acts. The individuals who are directly connected to and descend from the head of the snake, the Lord has allowed to grow up among the wheat. In the last days they will become manifest. So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills. Romans 9:18 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, Romans 11:25 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 36. Lyndon B. Johnson – Lyndon – Lime tree hill. Lives by the linden tree. Some interesting facts about Linden trees. Linden can grow from 66 to 130 feet in height. It develops dense, pyramidal or round-shaped crown. Baines – Old English bana “killer, slayer, murderer; the devil,” from Proto-Germanic *banon, cognate with *banja- “wound” (cognates: Old Frisian bona “murderer,” Old Norse bani, Old High German bana “murder,” Old English benn “wound . They live anywhere from 120 – 300 years depending on the type (perhaps 239 or 240 years?) 66 feet or 130 feet. Johnson – son of John. John – God is gracious, has shown favor. God revealed His grace through His Son, though nations sprout up and die and the murderer kills, He heals all wounds. It should be noted that Lyndon Johnson’s shining achievement was passing legislation that would re-enslave blacks under a different look. This time the plantation would be the Federal Government. He referred to this bill as “the n***** bill”. Discussing civil rights legislation with men like Mississippi Democrat James Eastland, who committed most of his life to defending white supremacy, he’d simply call it “the nigger bill.” http://www.msnbc.com He was a reprehensible racist. If the black population in the United States understood the racist roots, I doubt there would be as much widespread support among this community for Democrats. The war on poverty transformed the United States into an entitlement state. The racist, 36th (6+6+6+6+6+6) President effectively began what could never be undone. Since the war on poverty and the N bill, ask yourself if you believe it had its intended consequences. 37. Richard M. Nixon – Richard – derives from German, French, and English “ric” (ruler, leader, king) and “hard” (strong, brave), and it therefore means “powerful leader”. Milhous – It derives either from the word “mil” a pre 7th century word meaning a mill, and hence a metonymic for a mill owner or mill worker, house of mill. A mill is a device that breaks solid materials into smaller pieces by grinding, crushing, or cutting. Nixon – Mythological Nike was Greek goddess of victory and root origin of ‘Nicholas. Nicholas means People’s victory. The powerful leader will break many into pieces but His people will know victory. For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 Therefore I cut you in pieces with my prophets, I killed you with the words of my mouth– then my judgments go forth like the sun. Hosea 6:5 38. Gerald R. Ford – Gerald – ruling spear. Rudolph – It is a Germanic name deriving from two stems. One being “Rod” or “Hrōð”, meaning “fame”, and “olf” meaning “wolf”. Ford – River crossing. The famed ruler is a wolf and he stands at the river crossing. Crossing the Jordan is referenced all throughout scripture. When we consider the Red Sea, the wolf was in pursuit of the Israelites. Understand the symbolic level of river crossing. Water is the source of life, we must be born of water, baptized in water. It is life the enemy seeks to prevent, this entering into the water. 39. James Carter – James – – he grasps the heel, supplanter. Carter – “one who uses a cart”. Cart, hitch a wagon, transportation to carry people or goods from one destination. James, Jacob, the supplanter was very well known for his kicking against the goads. In light of this name, “one who uses a cart” it is important to take another look at Jacob the supplanter. Theopedia describes this concept well Jacob is not your typical biblical hero. It is hard to approach his life in the way we often do with other Biblical characters to observed models of how to behave. It is fair to say that none of the biblical heroes are without flaws, but Jacob had few positive traits we can emulate. He was not a good husband. He was not a good father. http://www.theopedia.com/jacob Jacob was manipulative and stubborn. He is an amazing example of how God’s grace extends to us despite our horrific flaws. Later in life he was humbled but not without much pain throughout. Generations were blessed through his life even though he kicked against the goads. A wagon is a cart. We see a popular idiom, “hitch your wagon to a star”. Not just any star in this case. Don’t resist, surrender and hitch your wagon to The Morningstar. You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. John 15:16 40. Ronald Reagan – Ronald – Mighty counselor/ruler. Reagan – “little ruler,” surname, from Irish riagan, literally “little king.” The King of Kings And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. Revelation 19:16 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter. Proverbs 25:2 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. Revelation 5:10 41. George H. W. Bush – George – From ‘georgos’ meaning tiller of the soil, or farmer. Herbert – Illustrious warrior. Army. Bright. Walker – surname, early 13c., probably an agent noun from walk (v.) in the sense “to full cloth.” preserves the cloth-fulling sense. Bush – “many-stemmed woody plant,” Old English bysc, from West Germanic *busk “bush, thicket”. Be fully clothed in the armor of God as you toil in labor, out of the thicket comes your Bright Illustrious Warrior to deliver. The ram out of thicket, the scapegoat for our sins is a foreshadowing of Christ. He was our sacrifice who came from the thicket. Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. Genesis 22:13 The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant. Jeremiah 4:7 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Ephesians 6:13 42. William J. Clinton – William – Resolute protector, will. Jefferson – son of Geoffrey. Geoffrey district, traveler, or peaceful pledge. masc. personal name, attested in England by late 11c., from Old French Geuffroi, from Medieval Latin Gaufridus, from Old High German gewi “district” (German Gau; see gau) + fridu “peace”. Clinton – Settlement on a hill, or from the headland estate. A son (of perdition) will come to establish a peaceful pledge and offer resolute protection for all. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 2 Thessalonians 2:3 The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place. Daniel 11:36 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Daniel 9:27 43. George W. Bush – George – From ‘georgos’ meaning tiller of the soil, or farmer. Walker – surname, early 13c., probably an agent noun from walk (v.) in the sense “to full cloth.” preserves the cloth-fulling sense. Bush – “many-stemmed woody plant,” Old English bysc, from West Germanic *busk “bush, thicket”. Be fully clothed in the armor, so the the thick brush does not hinder your labor. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop–a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. Matthew 13:7-8 44. Barack Obama – Barack is an African name meaning “blessed.” Hussein – is an Arabic name which is the diminutive of Hassan, meaning “good”, “handsome” or “beautiful”. Obama – It is believed that the name derived from the root word obam, which means “to lean or bend.” The blessed and handsome man appears good and beautiful but is crooked, he bends his words. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Romans 1:21 If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked. Proverbs 29:12 Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp rasor, working deceitfully. Psalm 52:2 All Together Hunt and farm the land. God is gracious and has shown favor to man whom He created out of the earth especially the twin son nation. Jehovah has gifted the descendants of Jacob (grafted in Gentiles) but from the mouth of Roe they would rebel. God has bestowed grace on the land and has shown favor to the inhabitants of the land of the brave. The war began small but The House Ruler protected the homes. God’s favor has allowed you to contribute to His work, from the secession out of a small hill came great glory. God remembers and cuts off but the gracious and brave will be exalted. The Land Owner was pierced so that man could be free and of noble birth. The descendants of Jacob have My word and because of the faith of Abraham you may drink of living water. God’s grace and favor was shown through the Son of Man. The exalted brother grew great and has become hated among the nations. Though you pioneered and sprouted up in the land with much water, you turned to mythological gods and will be destroyed by fire. The usurpers can be found laced with triangles among a field of spears. The camp of the noble and courageous, dwell in harmony as a group of trees on a cliff. The Son of my right hand is the Ruler of the House. The Son is resolute, mighty in battle and clothed in white. God’s gift is His love. The noble watchman is unwavering but the Lord protects the homestead. Your dwellings have a head covering of protection from the Son. The wild animals will receive just recompense and in that day they will say the Son is firm. Your human wisdom has left you naked. The Bright Illustrious Warrior is the Landowner. The Land Owner has granted freedom through His love to be born of noble birth, He is the Light of the world. Trust no man, especially the one who claims to rule the house there is but One Ruler. Be sober, for the day fast approaches when He who comes to rule with the rod of iron will appear. God has shown favor even to the sons who descend from the ugly (offensive, disgusting) head (chief, principle). God revealed His grace through His Son, though nations sprout up and die and the murderer kills, He heals all wounds. The powerful leader (beast) will break many into pieces but His people will know victory. The famed ruler (son of perdition) is a wolf and he stands at the river crossing. Don’t resist, surrender and hitch your wagon to The Morningstar, The King of Kings. Be fully clothed in the armor of God as you toil in labor, out of the thicket comes your Bright Illustrious Warrior to deliver. A son (of perdition) will come to establish a peaceful pledge and offer protection. Be fully clothed in the armor, so the thorns and thick brush does not hinder your labor. The handsome man appears good and beautiful but is crooked and bends his words.

A Vote for Donald Trump, Is a Vote for This….

23 Feb, 2016 by Dave Hodges

Trump hysteria is sweeping the country. Trump is going to make America great again. In a recent Youtube video, Trump actually accused Obama and Clinton of giving birth to ISIS. That, alone is reason to vote for Trump…. I am sorry, but I have to step off of the Fool’s Gold Express. Trump cannot save this country, only God can. But please tell me, what has America done to deserve redemption in the eyes of God? Assuming we have an election in November, I am checking the box next to Trumps name. However, I hold no illusion that my vote and our collective vote is going to change a thing. I am merely casting a symbolic vote. The Trump Platform There is no question that Donald Trump is saying some of the magic words that have been missing from the American lexicon for quite some time, like, “Let’s Make America Great Again”. In reality, if you think any candidate is going to accomplish this magic feat, you may as well save your campaign contributions and vote for Santa Claus. Here is a look at Trump’s key issues. The Second Amendment “The Second Amendment to our Constitution is clear. The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed upon. Period. The Second Amendment guarantees a fundamental right that belongs to all law-abiding Americans. The Constitution doesn’t create that right – it ensures that the government can’t take it away. Our Founding Fathers knew, and our Supreme Court has upheld, that the Second Amendment’s purpose is to guarantee our right to defend ourselves and our families. This is about self-defense, plain and simple. ” Very impressive and true. Trump’s message is anti-genocidal. Meaningful Tax Reform “The Trump tax cuts are fully paid for by: Reducing or eliminating most deductions and loopholes available to the very rich. A one-time deemed repatriation of corporate cash held overseas at a significantly discounted 10% tax rate, followed by an end to the deferral of taxes on corporate income earned abroad. Reducing or eliminating corporate loopholes that cater to special interests, as well as deductions made unnecessary or redundant by the new lower tax rate on corporations and business income. We will also phase in a reasonable cap on the deductibility of business interest expenses.”

Income Tax Rate Long Term Cap Gains/ Dividends Rate Single Filers Married Filers Heads of Household

0% 0% $0 to $25,000 $0 to $50,000 $0 to $37,500

10% 0% $25,001 to $50,000 $50,001 to $100,000 $37,501 to $75,000

20% 15% $50,001 to $150,000 $100,001 to $300,000 $75,001 to $225,000

25% 20% $150,001 and up $300,001 and up $225,001 and up

“Simplifying the tax code and cutting every American’s taxes will boost consumer spending, encourage savings and investment, and maximize economic growth.” In my opinion, this is Trump’s most realistic and noteworthy reform. Immigration Reform “When politicians talk about “immigration reform” they mean: amnesty, cheap labor and open borders. The Schumer-Rubio immigration bill was nothing more than a giveaway to the corporate patrons who run both parties. Real immigration reform puts the needs of working people first – not wealthy globetrotting donors. We are the only country in the world whose immigration system puts the needs of other nations ahead of our own. That must change. Here are the three core principles of real immigration reform: 1. A nation without borders is not a nation. There must be a wall across the southern border. 2. A nation without laws is not a nation. Laws passed in accordance with our Constitutional system of government must be enforced. 3. A nation that does not serve its own citizens is not a nation. Any immigration plan must improve jobs, wages and security for all Americans. Make Mexico Pay For The Wall Nationwide e-verify Mandatory return of all criminal aliens Detention—not catch-and-release. Defund sanctuary cities. Enhanced penalties for overstaying a visa. Cooperate with local gang task forces. ICE officers should accompany local police departments conducting raids of violent street gangs like MS-13 and the 18th street gang, which have terrorized the country. All illegal aliens in gangs should be apprehended and deported. End birthright citizenship Put American Workers First” There are all interesting ideas, but they came along 20 years past due. America has been deculturalized. Before I go on to the next point, let’s take a few moments out for a Trump pep rally. Trump also has impressive positions on veterans affairs and the VA. Yet, other than simple generalities, Trump has nothing on foreign policy. However, one could successfully argue that a trained circus monkey could do better that Obama, in which he is clear intent, is to destroy this country. The best reason to vote for Trump is because he is not this person: My hesitation in trusting Donald Trump the man, comes from the the fact that I fear is the next Ross Perot, who only ran in 1992 to upset the balance of power. That same potential exists in 2016. There is only one thing worse than the Obama Presidency and that would be for it to be followed with a Hillary Clinton Presidency. Corruption, scandal and untimely deaths follow her wherever she goes. Trump has a long association with the Clinton family that extends beyond the professional to even the personal. Hillary Clinton attended Donald Trump’s 2005 wedding to current wife in Florida. Hillary Clinton had front-pew seating at the event. Even Bill Clinton, not a person known for respecting the sanctity of marriage, showed up for the reception. Trump has been generous in towards the Clinton’s in the past as he has donated over $100,000 to the Clinton’s foundation. And as a former Senator from New York, Hillary Clinton has responded in kind as she left many of the Trump real estate deals alone when she could have a negative impact. And even if Trump has had an epiphany and truly does care about America and has forsaken his past associations with Clinton, he will not be allowed to win. He will suffer the fate of all reformers. If you don’t think this is true, then ask yourself a question. If the elite will kill these two men, then why wouldn’t they kill Donald Trump? Conclusion I have no illusions, the Republic is dead. The American empire is quickly going the way of Great Britain, Greece and Rome, only our shelf life was considerably less. Our country was born out of revolution and it will be put to death in revolution in which all resistance will squashed like a bug on a windshield. At the end of the day, I am not voting for Donald Trump. I am symbolically voting for an ideal. Even if Trump ends up like Ross Perot and the American people have been duped, I have still symbolically voted for the same ideals. And if Donald Trump is assassinated, I have still voted for the same ideals. Make no mistake about it, my vote and your vote, in November, does not matter. We are simply making a statement. Our fate, both individually and collectively as Americans has been decided because we have fallen out of favor with God. We should have thought about this before we gave the government permission to murder 60 million babies. We are clearly under His judgment. And let me clear on this point, Donald Trump, nor any other candidate is capable of leading a revival, big enough, to change the spiritual outcome for America. We have only one thing left to fight for, namely, spiritual redemption.

There is only one vote that matters and it is the vote you can cast for Jesus.

Weapons of Mass Terror

By Hal Lindsey

For the last few months, Iraq has been urgently searching for radioactive material stolen in that country late last year. Officials there fear that it has fallen into the hands of ISIS. An Iraqi environment ministry memo calls the missing material “highly dangerous.” Reuters reported, “The material, stored in a protective case the size of a laptop computer, went missing in November from a storage facility near the southern city of Basra belonging to U.S. oilfield services company Weatherford.” Weatherford uses a process called industrial gamma radiography to test for flaws in materials used for oil and gas pipelines. Because the stolen radioactive substance was inside a case the size of a laptop computer, it’s small enough to be smuggled anywhere. The radioactive material would not be used for an atomic bomb. They would use it to build a “dirty bomb.” That is a conventional explosive laced with radioactive material that would contaminate an area, kill those close by, and potentially cause cancer in others. It can render an area uninhabitable. A dirty bomb is purely a weapon of terror. It’s low-tech, easy to make, devastating in its effect, and is considered a weapon of mass destruction. Such material has been “lost” before, and many security analysts worry that ISIS is building up a significant supply in hopes of launching a large radiological attack somewhere in the world. Radical Islamic terrorists are scouring the globe for every kind of WMD — nuclear, chemical, radiological, and biological. Over the weekend, authorities in Morocco arrested members of an ISIS cell who were in the late planning stages of a chemical weapons attack in that country. During the raid, Morocco’s Central Bureau of Judicial Investigations found several jars of a chemical fertilizer that contains sulfur, and releases a fatal gas when heated. Several news accounts mention, but don’t elaborate, on a comment made by M. Elarji, a member of Morocco’s risk management team. Elarji said the raid also uncovered “further chemicals which can create the tetanus toxin.” Australian foreign minister, Julie Bishop, said in a speech last year, “Apart from some crude and small scale endeavors, the conventional wisdom has been that the terrorist intention to acquire and weaponize chemical agents has been largely aspirational.… The use of chlorine by Daesh (the Arabic term for ISIS), and its recruitment of highly technically trained professionals, including from the west, have revealed far more serious efforts in chemical weapons development.” According to Wolfgang Rudischhauser, the Director of the Weapons of Mass Destruction Non-Proliferation Centre NATO, “ISIS actually has already acquired the knowledge, and in some cases the human expertise, that would allow it to use CBRN materials as weapons of terror.” (CBRN stands for chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear.) The New York Times reported this week that Belgian police found surveillance footage of a Belgian nuclear official in the home of Mohamed Bakkali, recently arrested on terrorism charges. They believe Bakkali helped plan the Paris attacks last November. His terror cell was apparently planning to abduct the nuclear official and force him to provide nuclear material to help them build a dirty bomb. The proliferation of radioactive material in various industries is making it significantly easier for terrorists to come by. Jim Walsh of M.I.T.’s Security Studies Program said, “The world is flooded with highly radioactive material.” The possibility of terrorists obtaining or building dirty bombs highlights yet another flaw in the Iran nuclear deal. In Iran, scientists create the deadly radioactive material used in dirty bombs, and they do it with the U.S. government’s seal of approval. Even if they were to abide by the agreement and not actually build nuclear bombs, they can still manufacture boatloads of radioactive material. And Iran remains the number one terrorist state in the world. Iran might just give such material to terrorists as a way of hurting the Big Satan (America) or the Little Satan (Israel). Also, in an environment where it’s normal to shout “Death to America” at religious services, it’s far more likely that individuals in key positions would look the other way or even actively participate in the terrorist theft of nuclear materials. Even in the unlikely scenario that Iran never builds an actual atomic or hydrogen bomb, the nuclear deal leaves that nation with the capability to make dirty bombs to their hearts’ content. The problem with terrorists and terror-sponsoring nations is that they seem to feel no compunction about using any weapon at their disposal, apparently including WMDs. ISIS has already used chemical weapons on the battlefield against both the Kurds, and Iraqi forces. From the outset, ISIS leaders have publicly said that they were trying to obtain or build all kinds of weapons of mass destruction. They have successfully recruited prized scientists in those fields, and they have large cash reserves if they want to buy the ready-made versions of such weapons. As Arutz Sheva points out, “ISIS does not display any degree of morality or fear of consequences.” 9-11 shook the world economy, and the terrorists only used airplanes. With WMDs in their hands, radical Islamists could do untold damage across the world.

Isis suspects secretly monitored Belgian nuclear scientist, raising dirty bomb fears

The scientist could be seen coming and going from his home during 10 hours of surveillance footage

Samuel Osborne Friday 19 February 2016

A senior Belgian nuclear official was secretly monitored by suspects linked to the 13 November Paris attacks, raising fears Isis is trying to obtain radioactive material to make a dirty bomb. In the aftermath of the attacks, which killed 130 people, police in Belgium seized surveillance footage of the high-ranking nuclear official - who has not been identified for security reasons. The scientist could be seen coming and going from his home in the Flanders region during the 10-hour fixed-camera film, La Derniere Heure newspaper reported. The camera was picked up from a bush by two men, who then drove away in a vehicle with the lights off, CCTV from the area later revealed. It was later recovered from the home of Mohamed Bakkali, 26, who was arrested after the attacks and is being detained on charges of terrorist activity and murder. The purpose of the surveillance is not immediately clear. Investigators speculated that the suspects intended to kidnap the official, who had access to secure areas of a nuclear research facility in Mol - potentially to gain access to the facility and acquire enough radioactive material to create a dirty bomb. Interior Minister Jan Jambon told Belgium's Parliament the ministry determined there was a threat "to the person in question, but not the nuclear facilities." He added: "To date, we have no indication that there is a specific threat to the Belgian nuclear sites. The nuclear industry is one of the best protected areas." Last November, "highly dangerous" radioactive material was stolen from a US-owned storage facility in Iraq. Security officials fear it could be used to make a dirty bomb if it fell into the hands of Isis.

Fighting the BDS Movement

By A.J. Caschetta February 25, 2016

Is it possible for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement to be anything other than anti-Semitic? On January 7, 140 people in Rochester, New York attended a lecture on the topic by Miriam F. Elman, Associate Professor of Political Science at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. The event was organized and hosted by a local non-profit called Roc4Israel, founded in 2012 expressly to “counter the negative rhetoric towards Israel, expose the rising tide of global anti-Semitism, fight against BDS, and defend Israel’s right to exist.” As Elman told her audience, “in the Middle Ages Jews were hated for their religion, in the 19th and 20th centuries they were hated for their race and today they are hated for their nation-state.” Excepting some fringe student groups enthusiastic about boycotting Israel, the BDS movement is mostly absent from the academic scene in Rochester. The president of the University of Rochester, Joel Seligman, is a vocal critic of the movement. And while there are academics in town who sympathize with the movement enough to sign statements, at the moment BDS has no visible academic advocates in Rochester. Syracuse, NY, located little more than an hour’s drive away, is a different story. Its academic scene has a far more active BDS movement. A group calling itself the Syracuse Peace Council is an active BDS agitator. In May 2015, Cazenovia College hosted BDS factotum Alison Weir (purveyor of the website “If Americans Knew”). Syracuse University itself has some very visible BDS advocates such as Vivian May, Zachary Braiterman, and others. However, the topic was well-known enough to draw a crowd, on a cold winter’s evening, to an academic lecture. Nearly filling a spacious, tiered-seating auditorium, the audience was far larger than most Political Science or Middle East Studies Colloquia would attract at any of the area colleges. Elman is no firebrand rhetorician, but rather a level-headed, meticulous scholar. She focused on the differences between legitimate criticism of Israeli policies and anti-Semitism, which “is not in the eye of the beholder.” Anti-Semitism “crosses the line” surpassing the merely uncivil to constitute an assault on Jewish identity. We see it when historical and cultural links between Jews and Israel are refuted and when Israel is singled out for scrutiny like no other nation on earth. Most of all, we see it when three age-old stereotypes of Jews are projected onto the entire nation of Israel: the lust for power and control, the lust for blood, and the portrayal of Jews as animals, inferior to non-Jews. This rhetoric is the lifeblood of the BDS movement. Elman noted the correlation between anti-Semitic activity on college campuses and campuses with active BDS movements. She shocked her audience with examples of high-profile academics like Judith Butler, Steven Salaita and others who “couch their assaults on Israel in the language of human rights” and use their skills to construct a narrative portraying Israel as the ideological successor to Nazi Germany. Scholars refer to this ugly slur as “Holocaust Inversion” – which, in the words of Manfred Gerstenfeld, is “the portrayal of Israelis and Jews as modern-day Nazis.” Elman explained the role “progressive” Christian churches play in BDS, personalizing her presentation by highlighting The Third Presbyterian Church, located 4 miles from the site of the lecture, and a group called Witness Palestine Rochester. She warned ominously that the most prominent BDS organizer of all has a local chapter: “You have SABEEL here, in Rochester, operating under the moniker -- Christians Witnessing for Palestine”. Perhaps most unexpected was Elman’s critique of Jewish groups involved in the BDS movement. Most people are familiar with the 2,000 year history of Christian anti-Semitism and the 1,400 year history of Islamic anti-Semitism, but it seems counterintuitive that Jews could oppose the existence of Israel. Nevertheless, this is indeed the case. Clemens Heni calls it “Cosmopolitan anti-Zionism.” He argues that “Jewish anti-Zionists give hatred of Israel a kind of kosher stamp.” They also give non-Jewish anti-Semites an apparent Jewish ally in their bigotry. The most prominent of these groups is the Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), which Elman calls “a shield for Israel bashing.” The JVP is a new presence in town, and according to its Facebook page, was cofounded by a professor at the University of Rochester. The timing of Elman’s talk was fortuitous, coming just two days after the American Historical Association voted 144 to 55 against joining ranks with the BDS movement. The AHA’s decision is praiseworthy, but it runs counter to the current tide. The BDS movement is growing, and it has been endorsed by the world’s most famous academic – Steven Hawking. And even though BDS votes may actually be illegal, and the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) opposes academic boycotts, many academic associations are moving ahead with efforts to impose full economic and academic boycotts of Israel, including barring their colleagues (who may not share their alacrity for anti-Zionism) from collaborating with Israeli scholars. Daniel Pipes has written that when it comes to support for Israel “Political views matter more than religiosity.” He cites Frank Newport’s analysis of Gallup polls from 2001 to 2014 indicating that "nonreligious Republicans are more likely to sympathize with Israelis than highly religious Democrats." There are no conservatives in BDS ranks. The BDS movement is an outcome of the New Left’s dominance in American academia, especially Middle East Studies. Naturally, BDS gained momentum as its proponents gained rank within their respective institutions. David C. Rapoport has observed that “When the Vietnam War ended in 1975, the PLO replaced the Viet Cong as the heroic model” for New Left thinkers. As the Palestinians became the Left’s new underdog, Israel became its new villain. It is no coincidence that 1975 was also the year that the UN passed the infamous Resolution 3379 equating Zionism with Racism. After they colonized the academic world, many of these anti-colonialists, post-colonialists, and credentialed social justice warriors applied their learning and their paradigms to writing the narrative that Jews have no history in Israel (which they call “Palestine”), that Israel is an Apartheid state, that democracy is only for Jewish Israelis, and other easily-disproved falsehoods. At a time when much of academe is jumping on the BDS bandwagon, there is little risk to academics who join the movement, whereas opposition to majority leftist positions often leads to a perilous path. Elman’s expose of the anti-Semitism inherent to the BDS movement is especially impressive at a time when most conservative academics keep their opinions to themselves. But Elman is hardly a “conservative.” She identifies herself as a "lapsed liberal [who sides] with progressives on many social issues and with conservatives on most foreign policy issues." Teaching at a school where dissenters are treated respectfully and diversity of perspective is valued, I can only wonder what life is like for Miriam Elman at the Maxwell School (what SU grad has never heard it called the Marxwell School?), which boasts as an alumnus the most influential leader of the Wahabbi Lobby, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, who is also a member of its advisory board. The fact that she is a former member of the IDF and Jewish leaves her open to the “divided loyalties” smear, which has reappeared of late. Professor Elman confirmed my suspicion that her critics call her a “Neo-Con”. Philip Carl Salzman may be right that “the dirtiest word in the Marxist vocabulary is “neoliberal,” but when the person being smeared is Jewish, “Neo-con” still reigns supreme. Fortunately, for her students at Syracuse and for all of academia, it will take more than smears to deter Miriam Elman. A.J. Caschetta is a senior lecturer at the Rochester Institute of Technology and a Shillman-Ginsburg fellow at the Middle East Forum, whose project, Campus Watch, sponsored this article.

Hamas is to blame for Gaza's terrible state, not Israel

Op-ed: While Hamas is determined to perpetuate the suffering in the Strip, Israel must provide an alternative by offering Gazans hope. The Palestinians must know that they can get a seaport, an open border, and a chance for prosperity. The whole world should know this.

Published: 02.26.16, 13:18

The residents of the Gaza Strip – which has a 40 percent unemployment rate, hundreds of thousands of restless youth, no electricity during most of the daylight hours, polluted water that does not always flow, and a tightening blockade that has lasted for years – are indeed a powder keg. It's enough to read the latest UN report, from September 2015, which says that the Strip will not be suitable for human habitation within five years. This is not propaganda. It is a realistic prediction. One should listen carefully to the head of IDF Intelligence, Maj.-Gen. Herzl Halevi, who has been warning of this grim reality. The only relief comes in the form of hundreds of supply trucks that arrive daily from Israel. This is the last barrier that prevents hunger. Don’t say its Israel’s fault. Because the day Israel left Gaza was supposed to be a turning point. For the first time in history, the Palestinians got independence and sovereignty over territory. Egypt and Jordan, which controlled the Gaza Strip and West Bank, respectively, from 1949 to 1967, never dreamed of giving the Palestinians independence. An independent Gaza Strip was an opportunity for change. They could have become a model of welfare and prosperity. They could have sent a message to the whole world - and particularly Israel - that they can be trusted, that they can take responsibility for their destiny, that they were choosing a growth industry. This did not happen. They chose the industry of death and hate. From the moment Hamas took over Gaza in a military coup, it was clear that this would be the result. Anywhere an Islamic organization takes over, the result is destruction and ruin. It has nothing to do with Israel. It has to do with the essence - yes, the essence - of political Islam. It does not know how to build. It knows how to destroy. It does not respect life. It honors death. The same is happening in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Yemen, Nigeria, the Sinai, and Libya. So if anybody thought something different was going to happen in Gaza, they suffered from a shortsighted delusion. Because Hamas is destruction. An industry of death Tens of thousands of tons of concrete for building homes were diverted to the construction of tunnels of death. Children - even children - were sent to forced labor under conditions of slavery. Hundreds were killed there. According to a report by the Institute for Palestine Studies, more than 160 children died by 2012. The institute got scared and tried to correct itself. After all, it is forbidden to show Hamas’s true face, because Israel has to be the one to blame. Only Israel can be blamed. Since, then there has been an increase in the numbers of dead children. It is safe to assume that the numbers are still rising, but the exact number will never be revealed. In this world, when Muslims massacre Muslims, the world does not care or keep tally, because they are allowed to. Hamas has a clear interest that this powder keg, known as the Gaza Strip, explodes. Hamas knows the world will blame Israel. After all, Muslims have no responsibility for their destiny. They are allowed to divert resources for the industry of death and go on harvesting hate. The Muslims under their rule are inconsequential to them. Because the goal was and remains attacking Israel, even at the cost of thousands or tens of thousands of additional victims. “We love death, “ Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas, explains, and Hamas’ TV channel made it clear that “they love death more than the Zionists love life.” They mean every word of it. Giving Gazans hope It's Hamas, not Israel. Israel must do everything to give hope to the Strip’s inhabitants. Israel needs to turn back to the European Union’s proposal: To lift the blockade in exchange for demilitarization. It is true that Israel has already halfheartedly expressed its readiness for such an arrangement, but that's not enough. The initiative needs to be put back on the table in a far clearer manner, and must be made practical. A seaport should be offered. It is very possible that Hamas will reject it. It has no interest in prosperity. But the Strip’s inhabitants need to know that they have a way out of Hamas' tunnels of death and destruction. They need to know that they can get a seaport and a far more open border, as well as livelihood and an opportunity to prosper, on the condition their leadership would be so kind as to prefer life and hope over death and crises. The whole world needs to know that Israel is willing to give Gaza residents a chance for a better life. No, the world does not know this, neither do the Gazans. And if an explosion does happen, it is better if its shockwaves are directed towards the horrific Hamas regime. In order for that to happen, Israel needs to do more, a lot more. We should listen to Herzl Halevi. Whether Hamas accepts the Israeli initiative or reject it, Israel will stand to gain from it. It is time for Israel to do something, both for the Gazans and for Israel. 'ZIO' and 'ZOG' in Oxford The epithet "ZIO" is primarily known as jargon used by the Ku Klux Klan in the United States. It is short for Zionist, meaning Jews. All Jews. It does not matter how many anti-Zionist Jews will try to cozy up to them - to the anti-Semites, they always will be ZIO. This epithet usually goes hand in hand with ZOG, short for Zionist Occupied Government. Last week, Alex Chalmers resigned from the co-chairmanship of the Oxford University Labour Club (OULC). He accused his fellow club members and leftists with adopting anti-Semitic tones, including the use of the "ZIO" epithet towards Jews. The breaking point was when his fellow club members, with a majority of 18 against 16, approved their endorsement of the Apartheid Week (organized by the BDS Movement), despite knowing that it means identification with Hamas and anti-Semitism. Chalmers was not prepared to be a party to this debacle. Chalmers’ courageous step was reported far beyond the boundaries of the university. All of the newspapers in Britain dealt with the subject in the last week. “Oxford Left is accused of anti-Semitism”, a headline in the Times of London announced. The Guardian reported that an investigation was launched, on behalf of the Labour party, into the serious allegations, and Ed Miliband, the Labour party's former leader, who was supposed to be the guest of honor at an annual event at the Oxford University Labour Club, postponed his appearance pending investigation. Chalmers created a small, growing snowball. He is truly praiseworthy. But this won’t diminish the level of anti-Semitism, because the new kind of anti-Semitism is a result of horrific propaganda against Israel. It's no longer just criticism. When an Irish speaker talked about the murderous Israel last year, his primary source of information was two members of Breaking the Silence, who were there a week before. We can understand him, when IDF soldiers are depicted as a group of bloodthirsty soldiers who are eager to obey orders calling for the massacre of innocent civilians, the result is no longer criticism of the occupation. The result is ZIO and ZOG. Chalmers’ in the left get their information from a variety of sources, that vary from Hamas supporters to Breaking the Silence members. It is safe to assume that the latter have no intention of raising the level of anti-Semitism. They really mean to merely criticize the occupation, but when they refuse to understand their role in the anti-Israel campaign, when they cooperate with BDS, and when they get funding from entities that support BDS, the result is already known. They share in the cultivation of hate. Chalmers showed courage. Let’s hope that Israelis who have justified criticism of Israeli policies will display the same kind of courage as Chalmers.

Analysis: Assassination or suicide? How did Omar Nayef Zayed die?

The prime suspect is Israel but the cause of the Palestinian terrorist's death is still unclear. The timing of the death in Bulgaria of the Palestinian terrorist, wanted by Israel for murdering a yeshiva student in Jerusalem in 1986, may cause embarrassment for the Bulgarian government. The Prime Minister of Bulgaria Boyko Borissov is currently visiting Israel and yesterday met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem. News outlets in Sofia reported that the Bulgarian Police were investigating the circumstances behind Omar Nayef Zayed's death. Did an assassin shoot him dead? Was he poisoned? According to one of the Bulgarian news reports, the terrorist fell from the upper floor of the Palestinian embassy building. This could suggest that Zayed committed suicide or that it was staged to look as such. The prime suspect in his death is Israel, which failed to have him extradited from Bulgaria some two months ago. If Israel is involved, the Mossad, responsible for carrying out such special operations overseas, is the body that executed the mission. This would involve penetrating the Palestinian embassy where Zayed had sought shelter and which was surely being guarded. Another possibility was that Zayed's killer came from inside the embassy and that they either worked in the embassy or was invited inside. Some will say that given the timing of the Bulgarian prime minister's visit to Israel and the close Israeli security cooperation in the fight against terror, the operation was the joint work of the Israeli and Bulgarian intelligence services. Israel cooperated with the Bulgarian authorities following the Hezbollah bus bombing in 2012 that killed five Israelis and their local driver. In the past, especially in the 1970s, there were operations attributed to the Mossad in which PLO figures in Europe were assassinated. These operations were often carried out in private homes or in offices by means of bombs or by shooting. The suspected assassination on Friday in Sofia is reminiscent of the Ashraf Marwan affair, the Egyptian official and Mossad agent whose body was found on the sidewalk outside his home in London. The initial assessment was that he committed suicide but subsequent signs indicated that he was probably pushed from his balcony in order to give the impression that he took his own life. It is believed that Egyptian intelligence agents killed Marwan to avenge his treason.

Israel: Security Guard 'Seriously Injured' in Palestinian Stabbing Attack

VOA News February 26, 2016 3:14 AM

Israeli police say a security guard at a shopping center was "seriously injured" in a stabbing incident suspected to be a Palestinian attack. Police said in a statement Friday they were called to a shopping center in the West Bank Maaleh Adumim settlement where they found a guard lying on the ground with multiple stab wounds. The statement said it appears the incident was a Palestinian "nationalist-motivated attack." Police said the attacker fled the scene and a search is under way. The area has been closed to Palestinians until Sunday. The victim, an Israeli in his late 40s, is at Jerusalem's Hadassah hospital. The hospital said in a statement that he is in "very serious condition." Six months of Palestinian attacks on Israeli civilians, police and soldiers have left nearly 30 Israelis dead, along with an American and an Eritrean. Israel accuses Palestinian leaders of inciting young Palestinians to violence. But Israeli police and soldiers have killed more than 160 Palestinians in response to attack attempts. Palestinians say they are upset because of little job and economic opportunities, weak leadership, and a dim outlook for peace.

Germany: 130,000 migrants missing

By Kellan Howell - The Washington Times - Friday, February 26, 2016

German authorities do not know where as many as 130,000 asylum seekers are, the government said in a parliamentary document reviewed by the Agency France Presse on Friday. Out of nearly 1.1 million asylum seekers registered in Germany last year, “about 13 percent did not turn up at the reception centres to which they had been directed,” the government said in a written reply to a question from a lawmaker of the Left Party, according to AFP. Officials speculated that some individuals may have traveled to other countries, returned to their home countries, or gone underground. They also warned that some individuals may have been registered more than once, skewing the numbers. etc. and the news story continues.

Sheriff: Cop who killed Kansas gunman a 'tremendous hero'

By ROXANA HEGEMAN and MARIA FISHER Associated Press

HESSTON, Kan. A man who stormed into a Kansas factory and shot 14 people, killing three, had just been served with a protective order involving a former girlfriend that probably set off the attack, authorities said Friday. The assault at the Excel Industries lawnmower-parts plant in the small town of Hesston ended when the police chief killed the gunman in a shootout. Harvey County Sheriff T. Walton described the officer as a "tremendous hero" because 200 or 300 people were still in the factory and the "shooter wasn't done by any means." Had the officer "not done what he did, this would be a whole lot more tragic," Walton said.

China Terrified Of A Potential Trump Presidency, Starts Issuing 'Warnings' To The U.S.

February 25, 2016 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

After GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump took his third consecutive primary/caucus win in Nevada on Tuesday, the reality of a potential Trump presidency not only rippled through the political establishment in the U.S., but has terrified China to the point where they have started issuing warnings to the U.S. Via The Washington Free Beacon: “The sustained, sound and steady growth of China-U.S. relations serves the fundamental and long-term interests of the two countries and benefits the world. We hope and believe that the U.S. government will pursue a positive policy toward China in a responsible manner.” As noted in my recent article "China Has Won The Global Game Of Monopoly And Ended Up With Park Avenue - And Everything Else", in 2009 China demanded a "guarantee of safety" of its American bonds to which the Washington Post specifically noted the comments were being used as "leverage to tell the U.S. to back off on currency policy and trade policy." Via The Beacon article quoted above from February 24, 2016, we see the "Obama administration has adopted conciliatory policies toward China on trade and currency issues." Coincidence? The reason a potential Trump presidency has China concerned is stated on Trumps website under the "U.S. - China Trade Reform" section, where both the currency issues and trade policies are addressed. America has always been a trading nation. Under the Trump administration trade will flourish. However, for free trade to bring prosperity to America, it must also be fair trade. Our goal is not protectionism but accountability. America fully opened its markets to China but China has not reciprocated. Its Great Wall of Protectionism uses unlawful tariff and non-tariff barriers to keep American companies out of China and to tilt the playing field in their favor. As we have previously reported the U.S. trade deficit with China was $365.7 billion in 2015, breaking a new record from the previous $343 billion deficit of 2014. U.S. exports to China were only $116.2 billion while imports from China hit a new record of $481.9 billion. Evidence of this trend was reported in October 2015, via WSJ: Shipments of empty containers out of the U.S. are surging this year, highlighting the impact the economic slowdown in China is having on U.S. exporters. The U.S. imports more from China than it sends back, but certain American industries—including those that supply scrap metal and wastepaper—feed China’s industrial production. Those exporters have suffered this year as China’s economy has cooled. In September, the Port of Long Beach, Calif., part of the country’s busiest ocean-shipping gateway, handled 197,076 outbound empty boxes. They accounted for nearly a third of all containers that moved through the port last month. September was the eighth straight month in which empty containers leaving Long Beach outnumbered those loaded with exports. China understands that should Trump become the next President of the United States and should he follow through on his plans to force fair trade between China and the U.S., we would not be seeing fully loaded import ships into the U.S. without an equal number of fully loaded, rather than empty, ships leaving the U.S. Whether one is a Trump supporter or not, his points about China beating us at every turn are valid and every single candidate for presidency should be addressing the trade deficit as well as China's currency manipulation. China is rising to the top on the backs of Americans, while Americans are suffering record poverty levels, record welfare needs and record numbers of people not even in the labor force anymore. Another consequence of our current "conciliatory" policies toward China, is found in another interesting and disturbing pattern highlighted by the AP, showing that "Beijing is the new "Billionaire Capital of the World." Beijing took the title from New York after minting 32 new billionaires last year, while New York gained four. "What we showed today is that at the super-wealth creation level, the Chinese are now leading," Hoogewerf said. "People will look at China the same way that people looked at Stanford or Silicon Valley in the 1990s." The US trade deficit with China hit a critical milestone in 2015. It now stands at a mind-numbing $1 billion a day, and that $365 billion annual trade deficit continues to rise with the lift of China’s illegal export subsidies, sweatshop labor, pollution havens, and undervalued currency. The failure to understand that America’s Chinese import dependence has now reached critical mass as a national security issue comes from the very mind-numbing magnitude of the numbers involved. One day’s worth of China’s trade surplus with the US buys 1,000 new cruise missiles that Beijing can point at Taipei or 100 anti-ship ballistic missiles to target American carriers. one week’s worth of China’s trade surplus finances the construction of at least three new Chinese aircraft carriers to patrol the South China Sea and Indian Ocean or 20 new Yuan class diesel electric submarines to lay in wait for Japanese destroyers or American aircraft carrier strike groups. And Beijing can pay for its entire annual defense budget with a mere five months of what American consumers contribute to Beijing’s imperial fisc.

Establishment readies new attack against presidential frontrunner

Infowars.com - February 24, 2016

Today former Governor Mitt Romney announced that he thinks there will be a “bombshell” buried within Trump’s back taxes. This announcement corresponds directly with Trump insider Roger Stone’s prediction that after Trump wins Nevada the Republicans will attack his finances and associate him with the mob.

GLENN BECK AND TED CRUZ THE MASTER OF LIES

By Kelleigh Nelson February 24, 2016 NewsWithViews.com

Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive [not] with thy lips. —Proverbs 24:28

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and [he that] speaketh lies shall perish. —Proverbs 19:9

Yes, politicians are liars, and they get away with it time after time, but Ted Cruz really tops the cake. He lies with a straight face then hides behind the Bible. I don't believe I've seen a candidate be so absolutely blatant with lies as is Ted Cruz. They're becoming too numerous to list. Is Cruz a snake? You bet he is. Listen to Trump's poem about snakes. It is the perfect analogy of why we should not be allowing all these "refugees" into our country. The Lack of Discernment by Christians Psalm 114:4-6 well describes what has happened with so many in the church. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not. They can not discern evil from good. How sad it is today that so much of the church has lost her salt and light. If they knew God's Word, they'd know an imposter when they saw one. Instead of truth and substance, today's church gives you entertainment like Rock & Roll music and do the Boogie-Woogie every Sunday while America is burning down. That's why so many are still believing in the likes of Ted Cruz and his crazy buddies, David Barton and Glenn Beck. The Crazy Cheerleaders for Ted Cruz Glenn Beck is Cruz's cheerleader, and David Barton has taken charge of the super PAC that supports Cruz. The super-PAC, Keep the Promise PAC, is the umbrella for a group of related pro-Cruz political committees that raised $38 million in the first half of the year, more than the super-PACs supporting any other candidate with the exception of Jeb Bush. [Link] Glenn Beck's latest statement again makes it look as though he no longer has a grip on what is acceptable and what is outrageous. People are asking if Beck is on drugs. He said, "God allowed Scalia to die in order to highlight the importance of electing Ted Cruz." Here is the exact video where he calls into his own show and makes this disgraceful statement. But there's even more. Beck was of course stumping for Cruz in South Carolina. He called on Christians during a rally at Dominionist Rick Joyner's Morning Star Fellowship Church to “fall to your knees and pray to God to reveal to you what the hour is.” Rick Joyner's church is considered a cult, there is nothing Biblical about what he teaches or what they do in their "church." [Link], [Link], [Link] Ted Cruz also attended a national security forum held at Joyner's Church in Ft. Mill, SC in January. Beck's latest bizarre speech indicated that Cruz as president will get us through the rapture. So is he saying Cruz is a form of messiah? I think we've had enough of that with Obama, haven't we? In January, Beck argued the "hand of divine providence" brought about the birth of Cruz. Earlier in February, Cruz’s wife Heidi told a crowd that her husband shows the country "the face of the God we serve." The latest was Beck asking people to fast for Cruz after the loss in South Carolina. [Link] During an interview with Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network, Rafael Cruz Sr., said he told his son at an early age that "God has destined you for greatness." In 2013, Rafael Cruz, who claims to be an ordained pastor, said in a sermon at a church in Irvin, Texas, that his son is "anointed" from high above to serve as a "king" to bring about the "great transfer of wealth" from the wicked to the righteous. Rafael Cruz and his son are Dominionists. They believe America should be governed by their interpretation of Biblical law, and exclusively by those who believe as they do. [Link] The Jewish Telegraph Agency (JTA) reports, Ted Cruz is defending his controversial endorsement from an abhorrent anti-Semitic pastor, Mike Bickle, who is head of the cultist New Apostolic Reform under the banner of International House of Prayer or IHOP. According to JTA, Cruz has employed other tactics, including talk of rival Donald Trump’s "New York values," even calling the popular Yiddish expression "chutzpah" a "New York term," which is totally false. [Link] Flip-Flops, Embellishments, and Outright Lies Apparently, the Cruz campaign believes it is fine to lie to reach your goal. He always plays the honest man, even when he's telling you the opposite of what he told you before. Remember when Cruz said his wife, Heidi, was the lone dissenter at the Council on Foreign Relations when the CFR Task Force was writing the North American Union? Right Teddy, but her written statement belies that tale. On page 33-34 of the Task Force's report, Heidi writes, "I support the Task Force report and its recommendations aimed at building a safer and more prosperous North America." [Link] How about the story where Ted recalled saying to his wife in the weeks before his Senate primary, when he was still behind in the polls, "Sweetheart, I’d like us to liquidate our entire net worth, and put it into the campaign. What astonished me, then and now, was Heidi within 60 seconds said, 'Absolutely,' with no hesitation," said Cruz, who invested about $1.2 million—"which is all we had saved," he added—into his campaign. Only trouble with this story is, it's a total fabrication. They received a low interest loan from Heidi's employer, Goldman Sachs. [Link] Ted Cruz is bashing Supreme Court Justice, John Roberts, after years of praising him. "As an individual, John Roberts is undoubtedly a principled conservative, as is the president (George W. Bush) who appointed him," Cruz wrote at the time in the National Review. According to a 2005 Sun-Sentinel report, Cruz once praised Roberts as "one of the best constitutional minds in the country." With the decisions of the Supremes, Cruz is now back peddling big time on his support of Roberts. [Link] Cruz has stated he's against amnesty, but even visited the southern border with Glenn Beck to welcome illegal aliens. [Link] He has flip flopped and lied about where he really stands on amnesty. [Link] Watch Megyn Kelly question him in the January 28, 2016 debate sans Donald Trump. Video Listen to his twisted response. Two years ago, Cruz proposed amendments to a bill sponsored by four Republican senators—Marco Rubio, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Jeff Flake—and four Democrats. The bill would have tightened border security and employee screening. But it also would have allowed undocumented immigrants to apply, eventually, for legal status. [Link] Cruz Lies About Donald Trump Cruz wrongly says Trump's only Supreme Court pick is his sister, a 'hardcore pro-abortion liberal.' [Link] "Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have the identical position on health care, which is they want to put the government in charge of you and your doctor, according to Sen. Cruz. [Link] "I have not insulted Donald personally," stated Sen. Cruz. [Link] No Senator Cruz, Donald Trump does NOT want Single Payer health care. [Link] Cruz says Trump will try to take away our second amendment rights, when Trump is one of the strongest proponents of the right to bear arms and he says so in every speech that he has made for years. He and his sons are members of the NRA. In Iowa, Cruz told thousands of Ben Carson voters that Dr. Carson had left the race and to instead vote for Ted Cruz. He apologized when the race was over. He stated he was repeating what CNN had said, but they never said Carson was dropping out. Likewise, his fraudulent voter violation forms sent to Iowa voters. Donald Trump has issued a short response to presidential candidate Ted Cruz. Trump says Cruz’s recent television ad saying Trump "can’t be trusted" on abortion issues is off base. Trump says he is pro-life and has been for a long time. [Link] Sorry Cruz, wrong again, Trump said he'd sign a bill to defund Planned Parenthood. [Link] Trump was the same in 1988 as he is today, and he's been listed as a Republican for a long time, unlike the stories Cruz tells. Watch this Trump interview with Oprah from 25 years ago. And yes, Trump has changed parties from Democrat to Independent to Republican. Ted Cruz's Campaign Manager Who is Jeff Roe? He’s been called "scum of the earth," "piece of shit," a creep," "no ethics," "soul-less" … among a plethora of other pejoratives. In a 2010 congressional race, Jeff Roe managed Billy Long’s campaign against Scott Eckersley. [Link] A HOAX e-mail sent to news media outlets, and a "tweet" issued by a fake Twitter account, announced that Eckersley had suspended his campaign due to personal reasons. Eckersley blames his opponent, Republican Billy Long, for sending out the hoax days before the election. "You know this is dirty politics. This is Jeff Roe-style management." Does this sound familiar? Jeff Roe is Cruz's campaign manager. Roe is the founder of the Kansas City-based consulting group Axiom Strategies and has worked on a host of congressional races. The normally combative Roe had ducked interview requests from The Star, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Talking Points Memo, Mother Jones and other media until the spring of 2015, when he was announced as a top advisor to Ted Cruz. Why? Because a radio ad that made fun of Missouri Auditor, Tom Schweich was the final straw that caused Schweich to commit suicide. The auditor was considered rather fragile, but the cruel radio ad put him over the edge. Here is a copy of the despicable ad run by Roe for Schweich's opponent in the Missouri Governor's race. Jeff Roe Roe has stated that Cruz will win because they will break all the rules. "The last thing I would say is we are building a campaign not with data as a resource, but with data as the central point of our decision making," Roe said, noting that Team Cruz isn’t going about data the way normal campaigns do. The Ted Cruz campaign head admits the need to use psychological operations, religion and manipulation to convince voters to support Ted Cruz. [Link] "We’re baking data into everything we do, into how we are going to engage each individual donor and voter in the process to see how they’re going to be able to get the message of our campaign," Roe said. The campaign manager promised the ability to use data to find out what Cruz should be talking to people about on the campaign trail. Oh no, we never heard about using data before, sigh...Obama! Jeff Roe keeps getting hired because he occasionally wins despite his penchant for using slime-ball tactics. Roe's political clients often run from the press when they are caught in some of the despicable schemes employed by Axiom Strategies. Remember the flyers in Iowa, and the announcement that Carson had left the campaign. Conclusion When Ted Cruz signed Jeff Roe as his campaign manager, he knew he was getting the bad boy of Missouri politics, and he knew the filthy tactics of Jeff Roe. Cruz claims he's a Christian, yet he gives less than 1% to charity, he hires the likes of Roe as his campaign manager, and he lies like a persian rug continually about his opponents and Roe's tactics. Our first president said, "Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company." George Washington 1789-1797 The best way to stop the Jeff Roe tactics is to do as others have done and vote against the politicians who use them.

Game Over: Dark Days Ahead

27 Feb, 2016 by Dave Hodges

The Most Recent Stock Market Report

Over 93% of investors lost money in the month of January. This figure was derived from data shared exclusively with CNNMoney by Openfolio, which is an app that follows individual investment portfolios and how they compare with other investors. Behind the mounting fears about the crash in oil prices and turbulence in China dominated the stock market in January. Incredibly, the Dow lost 5.5% of its value, the index’s deepest monthly drop since the market” freakout” last August. The typical investor fared even worse, losing 6.3% of his or her portfolio in January, according to Openfolio. Revenue at S&P 500 companies was predicted to plummet 3.4% in the fourth quarter of 2015, which was significantly down from the 2.5% contraction in the third quarter, stated S&P Global. Tragically, revenue dropped 3% in the second quarter of 2015 and fell 2.3% in the first quarter of 2015. There is only one direction that this economy is going and it is down, down and down. The following S&P 500 chart speaks a thousand words with just one picture. Chipotle has steadily gone from being a high-growth success story to a corporation that sinking faster than a submarine with screen doors. The food chain has seen its revenue growth go from a high of 26.7% in the fourth quarter of 2014 to a plummeting 6.8% in the fourth quarter of 2015. In the latest round of projections, economic analysts think the company’s revenue could drop another nearly 16% in the first quarter of 2016. The company – which billed itself as a natural alternative in the restaurant industry, has now been hit with image-destroying health concerns regarding the discovery of tainted food. Worse Than the 1929 Depression America is afraid to use the word. This word has become 8th dirtiest word that you cannot say on television (in reference to the late George Carlin’s seven dirtiest words one cannot say on television). The word I am referring to is DEPRESSION. By using the word recession, it does not seem quite as bad. Make no mistake about, America in the early stages of a depression which will culminate in an economic collapse unless something dramatic happens to stop it, such as a war. From USA Today Money Report When one compares the following numbers compiled by USA Today after analyzing the S&P 500 data, this is worse that what the country witnessed in 1929 before the collapse. The Russell 3000 Index There are 11 companies in the broad Russell 3000 index, including a plethora of energy companies like Apache, General Electric (GE) and Internet giant, Yahoo, that have reported catastrophic net losses in the just completed calendar year, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. And if we think this collapse is going to have distinct boundaries on who, and who is not impacted, think again. GE owns ABC which in turn owns the ESPN’s… and on and on it goes. These ripples are quickly turning into tidal waves. The news is so bad that the retail sector is looking for silver linings where it can find them: Every single on of these corporations reported net losses of $4 billion in 2015. By comparison, Sears is looking like a winner because they only lost $1 billion And this is supposed to be the good news? The Backbone of American Retailers Are Taking a Beating I watched in absolute horror as Fox News reported that Kohl, the darling of the retail outlets, was closing 18 stores this year. Kohls is one of the poster children for American economic, post-2008 recovery and they are losing their backside. In a very impressive compilation of economic data, Michael Snyder assembled data on the following retailers and the message is uniform and disheartening: “Target has just finished closing 13 stores in the United States. Best Buy closed 30 stores last year, and it says that more store closings are likely in the months to come. Office Depot plans to close a total of 400 stores by the end of 2016. Wal-Mart is closing 269 stores, including 154 inside the United States…” “K-Mart is closing down more than two dozen stores over the next several months. J.C. Penney will be permanently shutting down 47 more stores after closing a total of 40 stores in 2015. Macy’s has decided that it needs to shutter 36 stores… The Gap is in the process of closing 175 stores in North America. Aeropostale is in the process of closing 84 stores all across America…” This is only a cross-sectional view of the economy. Consider what CNN/Money is saying: “Investors yanked $2.9 billion from U.S. stocks last week, marking the seventh week of outflows out of the past eight, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Emerging markets, which have been in turmoil for months, experienced a 13th straight week of outflows of $1.2 billion. Money is fleeing to safe haven government bonds. For instance, municipal bonds have enjoyed 19 straight weeks of inflows, BofA said”. In other words, investors are taking their money away from the actual corporations that need the economic support through the Stock Market, and are giving the money to government savings accounts that are actually managed by Obama’s minions. Talk about jumping from the fire into the frying pan. Conclusion There is no escaping this carnage. The only option to at least slow down this train wreck, is to start a war. And this is precisely what we are witnessing with the phony peace talks regarding Syria. In a future article, I will expose the Kerry/Obama agenda with regard to the coming fake cease fire which will nothing but a thinly veiled effort to try to get Russia to lower its guard before their forces are attacked. The only option left for the average American is adaptation. The deck chairs of the Titanic are being rearranged. Will you reach the lifeboats? What do you need to do to survive the present economic holocaust? This topic is subject for another day. Suffice it to say that every America should store two years of food for each family member, convert their soon to be worthless cash to gold and silver, horde medicines, obtain and learn how to use guns for the purpose of self-defense, form alliances with neighbors and keep a copy of the Bible nearby.

Contraction Of Credit… Central Bankers Greatest Fear!

Posted February 26th, 2016 at 2:58 PM (CST) by Bill Holter & filed under Bill Holter.

Dear CIGAs, Just a short comment on a VERY BIG problem! The below chart shows “margin” balance on the NYSE with an inverted chart of the S+P 500 laid over it. Please notice the amount of credit being used to carry stocks now is significantly larger than it was at previous market tops in 2000 and 2007. Also, the amount of credit has begun to contract, this is a classic margin call being met …so far. The danger of course is as it always has been when margin builds like this. As the equity market pulls back, margin calls are issued and in some cases “forced sales” are done. This can, has in the past and most likely will occur and morph into a virtual loop where forced sales weaken prices, creating new margin calls and more forced sales in a negative feedback loop…otherwise known as a market panic. It does need to be pointed out, there will be no “white knight” this time around as there are none left. The Fed rode in and save the markets in late 2008. It was discovered after the fact they lent $16 trillion all over the world. They have blown their balance sheet from some $600 billion in 2007 to a current $4.5 trillion. The Treasury had about $9 trillion of on books debt with a $14 trillion economy. Now the Treasury owes $19 trillion (the real number is multiples of this) supported by a $17 trillion economy (this amount is questionable). My point is this, in the past when margin debt got to outsized levels it created “bubbles” as it has now. Once the margin debt begins to contract, this is when the waterfall action begins and this is exactly where we are today! Margin debt is contracting with the background of a financial system that is having liquidity problems. Top this off with central banks already all in, and sovereign treasury balance sheets bloated with more debt than the size of their underlying economic output. Please spend a couple minutes and study the above chart. Governments can and do lie. Brokers can and do lie. Hard and fast statistics and the following results do not. The contraction of margin debt has commenced and markets are following like clockwork. What follows this will be the greatest fear central bankers have always had, a general credit contraction. The problem of course is this credit contraction is coming during a time of unprecedented leverage in both gross and relative terms! The 1930′s saw much pain but neighbors helped neighbors in that episode. The morality and sense of union in the 1930′s is nearly gone, unfortunately almost extinct! Standing watch, Bill Holter

‘For the Record’: Is Iran Working Toward an EMP Strike?

There are signs that Iran may be working toward an Electromagnetic Pulse strike on the United States. “Once Iran has a nuclear weapon, they are ready to launch an EMP attack against us,” former CIA Director James Woolsey told TheBlaze TV’s For the Record. “I think they have conducted launches of satellites of the type that you and in the direction you would want for an EMP attack.” In addition to those tests, Woolsey says the Iranian military has laid the groundwork for a religious justification for an EMP strike. In 2010, a military textbook called “Passive Defense” was published, which included a section that outlined how an EMP strike would be compliant with Islamic law. “The deaths from electromagnetic pulse are all indirect,” said Woolsey. “They come from destroying the electricity grid, and thereby not being able to operate the other 17 infrastructures in the United States — food, water, finance. Everything else operates off electricity. And by not being able to operate those, you will have lots of people die of thirst, die of starvations, die of social disruption.” “The idea, as I understand it, was that since one is not directly attacking or killing humans,” Woolsey said, “it doesn’t come under the stricture of some other ruling, or idea that one should not use nuclear weapons against people.” The Congressional EMP Commission spent nearly a decade studying the issue and concluded that as many as 90 percent of all Americans could die in the first year after an EMP strike. For the Record investigated the threat of EMP in the episode “Lights Out,” which is now available on-demand on TheBlaze app or at theblaze.com/tv.

The Grand Finale: “Russia Is Ready, World War III Will Be A Fight Over Basic Human Needs – Food and Other Commodities”

As political tensions heat up it is becoming clear that the world’s super powers are vying for control of resources like oil, water, metals and food. And though developed nations have thus far avoided any significant clashes with each other, the proxy wars being waged in the middle east and Europe are a slow burning fuse that will soon lead to widespread military confrontation. Word of the day: Prepare! And do it the old fashion way, like our fore-fathers did it and succeed long before us, because what lies ahead of us will require all the help we can get. Watch this video and learn the 3 skills that ensured our ancestors survival in hard times of famine and war. Throughout human history one key factor has been behind every major war: a battle for resources. As the following documentary warns, this time will be no different: “The Pentagon told Fortune Magazine that World War III will be a fight over basic human needs – food and other commodities.” Natural resource wars are brewing and becoming an increasing threat, and may be the grand finale to an already intensified currency war among the world’s top economies. Most wars in human history are a fight over natural resources. Also read: We Are Facing The End, And We Just Don’t Know It?

Russia will not close herself off from the world, but anyone who tries to close her off from the world will be sure to reap a whirlwind.

More Bad Blood? Turkey's Ultimatum to Washington is 'Major Miscalculation'

14:59 25.02.2016

Erdogan's policies will adversely affect Turkey's relations with the United States, particularly after Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu called on Washington to give Ankara unconditional support in its fight against the Syrian Kurds, Turkey's former ambassador to Iran, Norway, Sweden, Germany and France Osman Korutürk told Sputnik. Davutoglu made the comments after a terrorist attack in Ankara claimed 29 lives. The Turkish leadership blamed the US-backed People's Protection Units (YPG) for the attack, which the Syrian Kurds say they did not commit. "The only thing we expect from our US ally is to support Turkey with no ifs or buts," the prime minister said on February 20. "If 28 Turkish lives have been claimed through a terrorist attack we can only expect them to say any threat against Turkey is a threat against them." The United States does not view the YPG or the Democratic Union Party (PYD) as terrorist organizations. Moreover, the Kurds have proved to be one of Washington's key allies in its anti-Daesh efforts in Iraq and Syria. "The United States did not offer a direct response to the 'either we or the Democratic Union Party' ultimatum, which Turkish authorities delivered to Washington," Korutürk noted. "What was the point of asking a question that brought Turkey into line with the PYD? I am absolutely sure that the Turkish leadership knew how America would react to this ultimatum." Davutoglu remark's, according to the diplomat, were a "major miscalculation" for Ankara. Korutürk maintains that Turkey's alliance with Saudi Arabia and Qatar will only lead to Ankara's greater isolation in the region. Earlier this month, the three nations expressed their readiness to send ground forces to Syria should the United States launch a military intervention in the war-torn Arab country. The operation would ostensibly be aimed at tackling Daesh or assisting the refugees, but many have pointed out that Ankara and Riyadh would likely be focused on helping radical groups that are fighting to overthrow Syria's legitimate president.

20 countries involved in IS bomb supply chain, Turkey 'key choke point' – study

Published time: 25 Feb, 2016 09:09

Over 50 companies from 20 countries, including Turkey, US and the Netherlands, have produced, sold or received hundreds of components, such as detonators, cables and wires, used by Islamic State terrorists to build improvised explosive devices (IEDs), a major study has found. Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) militants have manufactured and deployed IEDs across the battlefield on a "quasi-industrial scale," Conflict Armament Research (CAR), which undertook the 20-month study, stated in the report. Made of cheap and readily available components, IEDs appear to have become IS’s "signature weapon," the European Union-mandated study has found. The 107-page report said that many components that can be used in the manufacture of homemade explosives, such as aluminum paste and urea are actually not subject to transfer controls, including export licensing. As a result, their supply within the region is basically unregulated and weakly monitored. Other key components, such as detonators and detonating cord, are subject to export licensing, but are also commonly used in commercial activities, such as mining and industry. "Licensing alone has not been sufficient to prevent acquisition by IS forces," the research bureau said, adding that IS’s acquisition networks draw most heavily on lawful commerce in the countries that border their territory. "Proximity is a major reason why the goods traded by Iraqi and Turkish companies appear throughout the supply chains of components that IS forces use to manufacture IEDs. Both Iraq and Turkey have large agricultural and mining sectors, in which many such chemicals and explosive components are employed extensively. At the same time, many small-scale commercial enterprises appear to have sold, whether wittingly or unwittingly, components to parties linked to, or employed by, IS forces," the study said. A total of 13 Turkish firms were found to be involved in the supply chain. "With 13 companies involved in the supply chain, Turkey is the most important choke point for components used in the manufacture of IEDs by IS forces. These components include chemical precursors, containers, detonating cord, cables, and wires, which Turkish companies either manufactured or sold in Turkey before IS forces acquired them in Iraq and Syria," the report said. The Turkish government has refused to cooperate with CAR's investigation, James Bevan, CAR's executive director, told Reuters, so the group couldn't determine the efficacy of Ankara's regulations regarding the tracking of components. "These findings support growing international awareness that IS forces in Iraq and Syria are very much self-sustaining — acquiring weapons and strategic goods, such as IED components, locally and with ease," Bevan stated. The study also found that Islamic State militants were able to acquire IED components at an incredible speed. "The appearance of these components in possession of IS forces, as little as one month following their lawful supply to commercial entities in the region, speaks to a lack of monitoring by national governments and companies alike. It may also indicate a lack of awareness surrounding the potential use of these civilian-market components by terrorist and insurgent forces." The components were recovered during major battles around the Iraqi towns of al Rabia, Kirkuk, Mosul, and Tikrit and the Syrian town of Kobani. CAR gained access to the components through partners, including Kurdish YPG in Syria, the Iraqi Federal Police, the Kurdistan Region Security Council and forces of the Kurdistan Regional Government. The report has also found that IS forces consistently employed the same electronic components in the construction of one type of remote-controlled IED used in Iraq. "Companies headquartered in Japan, Switzerland, and the United States manufactured the microcontrollers and transistors used in the devices." Seven Indian companies manufactured most of the detonators, detonating cord, and safety fuses documented by CAR's field investigation teams. "Under Indian law, transfer of this material requires a license. All components documented by CAR were legally exported under government-issued licenses from India to entities in Lebanon and Turkey," the report said. The report's authors said they attempted to contact the companies linked to the components, adding the firms did not respond or were not able to account for where the goods went after they left their custody. Companies from Brazil, Romania, Japan, Russia, China, Switzerland, Austria and Czech Republic were also involved, the report stated.

Russia deploys S-300 complexes at NATO borders

24.02.2016 | Источник: Pravda.Ru

Belarus deploys four S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems in Polotsk, which Russia handed over before. According to photos of the Digital Globe commercial satellite, preparatory work has been carried out in the region near the NATO borders, namely 80 km away from Latvia since 2014. Western experts say that Belarus plans to deploy four divisions of S-300 missile complexes. And it is unknown whether the missiles are Russian or Belarusian ones. It should be noted that the Belarusian information agency Belta reported on 9 February that three divisions of the S-300 missile complexes had arrived to Belarus from Russia, according to the statement of the Belarusian Air Force and Air Defence Commander Oleg Dvigalev. As he stated, the fourth one is expected to be delivered from Norilsk in Mach. NATO has already deployed six operative bases at the north-western borders of Russia. But while the Alliance obstinately advances to the Russian borders, a powerful system of defence has appeared in the Kaliningrad region, which is capable of setting a no-fly zone over considerable distance. Pentagon has already grown hot over the fact that it deprives the West of a possible preventive strike against Russia ''for the sake of peace and democracy''.

Caught On Tape: U.S. Test Fires Nuclear ICBM, Warns "We Are Prepared To Use Nuclear Weapons"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/26/2016 21:24 -0500

Less than two years ago, news of Russia test-firing an ICBM just as the east Ukraine civil war was heating up, was sufficient to send the stock market into a brief tailspin. Since then, the launches of nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles has become an almost daily occurrence, with the market hardly batting an eyelid. In fact, it happened just last night at 11:01pm PST at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, where - for the second time this week - the US test-fired its second intercontinental ballistic missile in the past seven days, seeking to demonstrate its nuclear arms capacity at a time of rising strategic tensions with Russia, North Korea, China and the middle east. The unarmed Minuteman III missile roared out of a silo at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California late at night, raced across the sky at speeds of up to 15,000 mph (24,000 kph) and landed a half hour later in a target area 4,200 miles (6,500 km) away near Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands of the South Pacific. The entire launch was caught on the following video, which was released by Vandenberg just 4 days after the previous ICBM launch. What was more disturbing than the actual launch, however, was the rhetoric behind it: instead of passing it off as another routine test, and letting US "adversaries" make up their own mind about what is going on, Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Work, who witnessed the launch, said the U.S. tests, conducted at least 15 times since January 2011, send a message to strategic rivals like Russia, China and North Korea that Washington has an effective nuclear arsenal. "That’s exactly why we do this," Work told reporters before the launch. Of course, the #1 unspoken rule when launching ICBMs is to never explicitly say why you are doing it. By breaking said rule, it marks a much greater escalation in international diplomacy than merely test firing the nuclear-capable ballistic missile. That, however, was not an issue and Work piled on, with the following stunner "We and the Russians and the Chinese routinely do test shots to prove that the operational missiles that we have are reliable. And that is a signal ... that we are prepared to use nuclear weapons in defense of our country if necessary." Well that's good to know. As Reuters adds, demonstrating the reliability of the nuclear force has taken on additional importance recently because the U.S. arsenal is near the end of its useful life and a spate of scandals in the nuclear force two years ago raised readiness questions. The Defense Department has poured millions of dollars into improving conditions for troops responsible for staffing and maintaining the nuclear systems. The administration also is putting more focus on upgrading the weapons President Barack Obama’s final defense budget unveiled this month calls for a $1.8 billion hike in nuclear arms spending to overhaul the country's aging nuclear bombers, missiles, submarines and other systems. That said, the irony of the Nobel Peace Prize winner re-escalating the arms race was not lost on Reuters: the nuclear spending boost is an ironic turn for a president who made reducing U.S. dependence on atomic weapons a centerpiece of his agenda during his first years in office. Obama called for a world eventually free of nuclear arms in a speech in Prague and later reached a new strategic weapons treaty with Russia. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in part based on his stance on reducing atomic arms. "He was going to de-emphasize the role of nuclear weapons in U.S. national security policy ... but in fact in the last few years he has emphasized new spending," said John Isaacs of the Council for a Livable World, an arms control advocacy group. Perhaps the Nobel committee should watch the video above and decide if it is not too late to ask for their prize back. And just like that the nuclear arms race is back. Critics say the Pentagon's plans are unaffordable and unnecessary because it intends to build a force capable of deploying the 1,550 warheads permitted under the New START treaty... Hans Kristensen, an analyst at the Federation of American Scientists, said the Pentagon's costly "all-of-the-above" effort to rebuild all its nuclear systems was a "train wreck that everybody can see is coming." Kingston Reif of the Arms Control Association, said the plans were "divorced from reality." The Pentagon could save billions by building a more modest force that would delay the new long-range bomber, cancel the new air launched cruise missile and construct fewer ballistic submarines, arms control advocates said. Work said the Pentagon understood the financial problem. The department would need $18 billion a year between 2021 and 2035 for its portion of the nuclear modernization, which is coming at the same time as a huge "bow wave" of spending on conventional ships and aircraft, he said. "If it becomes clear that it’s too expensive, then it’s going to be up to our national leaders to debate" the issue, Work said, something that could take place during the next administration when spending pressures can no longer be ignored. As a reminder, the last time the U.S. engaged in a nuclear arms race with the USSR, it led to the collapse of the "evil empire." It would be even more ironic that Obama launching nuclear rockets if this time around the tables on the ultimate loser are turned. In the meantime, just think of all the GDP-boosting "broken windows" that would result from a nuclear war.

CONFIRMED – The U.S. Military Asks Tech Companies to Tweak Their Algorithms to Promote Certain Content

Michael Krieger | Posted Friday Feb 26, 2016 at 10:04 am

You probably had no idea, but representatives from Silicon Valley, Hollywood and the U.S. government came together earlier this week to privately discuss how they could jointly fight ISIS propaganda online. Never mind the fact that ISIS is the child of reckless and inhumane preemptive wars of aggression perpetrated by the U.S. government. Such introspection naturally never crosses the mind of government bureaucrats ostensibly attempting to understand the epic disasters they created in the first place. So who attended the meeting? We don’t know for sure because the plebes aren’t entitled to know such things. Fortunately, we have become privy to some information thanks to Buzzfeed News. Here’s what we learned: WASHINGTON, D.C. — They flew in from New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles to hole up in a windowless D.C. conference room for nearly five hours on Wednesday — representatives of the country’s top tech and entertainment companies brainstorming with U.S. counterterrorism officials to tackle one tough question: how to stop the spread of ISIS online. The standoff between Apple and the FBI did not come up during the meeting, though the issues it involves are at the heart of the very things being discussed. As the role of technology in our lives continues its explosive growth, how will the balance between privacy and security play out in the new Silicon Valley-D.C. relationship? Among the handful of Arab participants who took part in Wednesday’s event, the questions raised felt even greater. “They wanted to figure out how to fight ISIS online, how to understand the psychology of those who support ISIS, and they invited almost no one who speaks for those of us in the Arab world, and from Arab communities, who have everything to lose from ISIS’s growing popularity,” said one Arab attendee, who estimated that less than 10% of the attendants were of Middle Eastern descent. “They don’t understand this community. That has been proven time and time again with their tone deaf messages. Why hold an event like this where there are ten white men outnumbering every Arab?” The lack of voices from the Middle East at the event was raised repeatedly, with one attendee garnering applause when they asked why — in a discussion regarding ISIS’s appeal to young Arab-American Muslims — there was no one speaking to their appeal from within that community. This is what happens when people fail upward and you have a country run by a cadre of incompetent, corrupt and clueless “elites.” Other media outlets, who were leaked a list of attendees, revealed that Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, Google, Mediacom, and Edelman were among those attending from Hollywood and Silicon Valley. In a statement, the Department of Justice noted that Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Carlin, U.S. Chief Technology Officer Megan Smith, and Senior Director for Counterterrorism on the National Security Council Staff Jen Easterly all took part in the meeting. Now here’s the most disturbing revelation. Over the last year, the government has stepped up its overtures to Silicon Valley, meeting with tech executives in January on the subject of combatting ISIS online. The Department of Defense has opened an office in the San Francisco area, and the State Department has recently appointed its first representative to Silicon Valley. Tech executives who have met with the Pentagon team told BuzzFeed News that some of their requests have been “jarring.” In at least one case, the Pentagon spoke with several companies — who asked not to be named as a condition of discussing the meeting with BuzzFeed News — about tweaking their algorithms to promote certain types of content. Both Google and Facebook have made it clear that they would not make changes to their algorithms to bury results supportive of ISIS. May as well just call it the Department of Propaganda. Truly unbelievable. “That’s something that is always brought up in meetings. And it shows how little they understand us,” said the Google representative. “This is a Pandora’s box we won’t open, because if we answer a request by the U.S. government to feature one search result over another, what’s to stop other countries from requesting the same? What’s to stop each country from tailoring the search results of their citizens to their agenda? It’s not a path we are willing to explore.”

The 'B' all and end all: U.S. Air Force reveals the first picture of its top secret $100bn B-21 stealth bomber that will replace the B-52

All-black plane has a distinctive, zigzagging shape to evade radar

It will replace the antique B-52s first developed during the Cold War

Air Force wants to buy 100 of the warplanes, each costing $511 million

Military said it plans to start testing the plane sometime in mid-2020s

By Mark Prigg and Ellie Zolfagharifard For Dailymail.com

Published: 11:35 EST, 26 February 2016 | Updated: 18:53 EST, 26 February 2016

The US Air Force has unveiled the first image of its next-generation bomber that will replace antique B-52s first developed during the Cold War. The all-black plane has a distinctive, zigzagging shape and a low profile designed to make it hard to spot on radar. The new stealth bomber has yet to be built, but Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James provided the world with the first glimpse of the project using an artist's rendering. The rendering bears more than a passing resemblance to the Air Force's B-2 bomber, which is also made by Northrop Grumman. It is designed to be launch from the continental US and deliver airstrikes on any location in the world. The Air Force said it plans to introduce the aircraft in mid-2020s. At today's event in Orlando, James revealed the plane - previously known as the Long Range Strike Bomber - would be called the B-21 until a new name has been agreed on, and she invited air crews to help. The designation B-21 recognises the aircraft as the military’s first bomber of the 21st century. 'This aircraft represents the future for our Airmen, and (their) voice is important to this process,' James told the Air Force Association's Air Warfare Symposium. The program has been shrouded in secrecy since its inception for fear of revealing military secrets to potential enemies. The military also wanted to avoid giving the losing bidders any details before their formal protest was rejected last week. The Air Force wants 100 of the warplanes, which will replace the ageing B-52s and the B-1 bombers that first saw action in the 1980s.

World War III Is Being Rehearsed by Over Three Dozen Nations

25 Feb, 2016 by Dave Hodges

If it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, then it is a duck. If dozens of nations are engaged in simultaneous war games, on both sides of ongoing disputes, then one must conclude that World War III is at hand. This article represents a brief whirlwind tour around the globe to demonstrate the escalating preparations for war. When war breaks out, national leaders and their generals will not be the least surprised. However, the people, the taxpayers, the ones with children that will be drafted and sent off to die, will be totally caught off-guard. The people have a right to know what is coming and this article is written in this spirit. The Korean Peninsula Our first stop around the planet begins in Korea, both North and South Korea, and her allies are engaged in provocative and expanding war games. The Telegraph’s Julian Ryall reported that the joint US-South Korean exercises scheduled for March will be the largest military drills ever staged on the Korean Peninsula. Conventional wisdom is stating that these war games are serving as a stern warning to Pyongyang that their rhetoric and aggressive actions will not be tolerated The parallel drills called Key Resolve and Foal Eagle are scheduled to commence on March 7, with the field-training exercises that make up Foal Eagle lasting until April 30. The drills will involve 15,000 US troops, which is an increase of troops that totals twice the number from previous years. This drill is a clear warning to North Korea. The joint exercises will commence just weeks after North Korea carried out its fifth underground nuclear test and launched another rocket in what analysts claim was a disguised test of long-range ballistic missile technology. The South Korean war drills are simulating the scenario in which the regime of Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, has collapsed. The Saudis are leading a massive war game exercise involving over 350,000 soldiers, 20,000 Tanks, 2,450 Warplanes and 460 military helicopters. The drill will will be held in Northern Saudi Arabia for an exercise that is being called Northern Thunder. Participating forces hail from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, Sudan, Kuwait, Morocco, Pakistan, Tunisia, Oman, Qatar, Malaysia and several other nations. Given the scope and nature of Russian military activities in Syria, this war game, which commenced on February 14th, is provocative beyond all reason The Saudi war games being held in northern Saudi Arabia, threaten not only Syria but also Iran. Further, with Turkey located on the north, Russian forces could be attacked from two opposite directions. This is why I agree with Steve Quayle in that Russian commanders have been given permission to use tactical nuclear weapons. Just When We Thought It Could Not Get Any Worse Fox News released a report which clearly shows that China is militarizing an Island in the disputed are of the South China Sea. I wrote about this possibility in In response, US Army is escalating the situation to another level as they are seriously discussing the possibility of sending mobile artillery units to the region in order to challenge the Chinese threat. In the event of World War III, it comes as not surprise that China will seize Taiwan. When one keeps this at the forefront of their mind, the actions of the Chinese military makes a great deal of sense. NATO Air Security Experts Arrive in Kiev From a Russian perspective, Ukraine is the gateway to invading Eastern Europe. NATO is fortifying Ukraine against an attack from the air in anticipation of World War III. In a move of provocation and escalation, NATO is installing air security protocols in anticipation of being attacked. This is the metaphorical equivalent of going to an underground air raid shelter to practice for an expected attack from the air. The Regional Airspace Security Program (RASP) not only alerts Kiev that inbound fighter craft are on the way, Ukraine could be considered to be a forward base of operations designed to be an early warning detection system for all of Eastern Europe. US Sending Massive Arms to Germany and Points Beyond It was recently announced that the United States is sending 5,000 tons of ammunition to Germany. Additionally, Operation Anakonda, which is one of US Army Europe’s and NATO largest multinational training events, is a Polish national exercise that aims to train, exercise and integrate “Polish national command and force structures into an allied, joint, multinational environment”. Conclusion The Baltic Dry Index may be at record low levels, however the US exporting of arms has never been more robust. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute released a report this week in which it claims that the US has expanded its weapons business by greatly increasing its global arms sales amid rising imports by Africa, Asia and the Middle East. A favorite strategy of nations is to launch a military drill and then make it go live and attack their opponent. With the multitude of war games going on, this only has to happen one time to trigger World War III. Russia, for example, could become nervous about the goings on in Northern Saudi Arabia and launch a preemptive strike. There is so much potential for things to go wrong. One misstep and the world will be at war.

Farrell in a fascinating look at the Rise of The New German Reich carefully planned and executed by members of a Nazi Underground who integrated themselves in a stealth fashion into the American Deep State! European Union, Nazi International, President George Bush and Chancellor Helmut Kohl This episode explores the deep state ties between the setting up of the EU and it’s relation to a plan devised in Nazi Germany to create a puppet federation that was vouchsafed for later generations. Farrell delves deeply into the interface of a secret government planning operations to reinstall a New Reich to dominate a 21st Century world! Through mechanisms like the establishment of a European Union, Single Currency, CERN and a Corporate Cartel. The plan got an amazing headstart when George Bush Sr. helped install Helmut Kohl, who had bizarre ties to Oklahoma City Bomber Timothy McVeigh, with his effort for the reunification of Germany to get underway in 1990 and create an economic engine that has now made it the 5th largest economy in the world! McCarthyism, The Madrid Circular. FDR, John And Robert Kennedy! Together, Dark Journalist and Dr. Farrell look at the strange rise of Senator McCarthy in the fifties and his endless supply of damaging intelligence and compromising connections on high officials, likely being fed to him by former Nazi’s still at war with their communists enemy, holdovers from a mysterious deal struck by FDR during World War II, inside the umbrella of the National Security State. McCarthy overplays his hand and is ultimately destroyed but his two staunch allies, Senators John and Robert Kennedy take up a better cause when they haul leading figures of the mafia before senate subcommittees to unravel the deep state, black budget forces operating with impunity because of their deep ties to the CIA, as the Kennedy’s realize who the real enemy is. During this period a strange document appears in Europe that suggests the war never ended and that by working within a covert system a new Nazi Reich can be installed after Russia and America are weakened from within by careful manipulation of social and geopolitical forces. Are we seeing this prediction of The New Reich come true now in the 21st century? Stunning, eye-opening, informative, unnerving, alarming, and deeply laced with previously unknown information and bizarre, shocking truths, this is the Dark Journalist episode you don’t want to miss!

German government to use Trojan spyware to monitor citizens

Intelligence agencies in Germany can now use malware to track computers of people under suspicion. The Trojan will be able to track user chats and conversations on smartphones and PCs.

A spokesman for the German interior ministry announced on Monday that the government had approved the usage of Trojans to monitor suspected citizens. The interior ministry spokesman defended the government's decision, saying "basically we now have the skills in an area where we did not have this kind of skill." The program was already endorsed by members of the government in autumn 2015, the ministry said. Trojans are software programs, also known as malware, specially designed to get into users' computers. They are often used by hackers and thieves to gain access to somebody else's data. In order to use the malware, government officials will have to get a court order, allowing authorities to hack into a citizen's system. The approval will help officials get access to the suspect's personal computer, laptop and smartphone. Once the spyware installs itself on the suspect's device, it can skim data on the computer's hard drive and monitor ongoing chats and conversations. Members of the Green party protested the launching of the Trojan, with the party's deputy head Konstantin von Notz saying, "We do understand the needs of security officials, but still, in a country under the rule of law, the means don't justify the end."

No wonder ISIS is losing ground in Syria and Iraq, they are all coming over here!

The Daily Mail reports

More than 130,000 migrants have 'vanished' in Germany - 13 per cent of arrivals in the last 14 months - the government reveals

Missing migrants may have left Germany or disappeared underground

There are also 400,000 people in the country whose identities are unknown and....That's just Germany!

While desperate migrants try to HANG themselves in Athens square as struggling Greece warns it won't become a 'warehouse of souls'.

An Algerian sex attacker who shouted ‘Inshallah’ - if Allah wills it - as he raped a 25-year-old German student is jailed for eight years.

Iraqi alleged to have raped a ten-year-old boy in an Austrian swimming pool 'because of a sexual emergency' is kept in solitary to protect him from other prisoners, say jail officials

More than 100,000 migrants have already reached Europe this year, official statistics show... a landmark that was not reached until JULY last year

Two days ago a riot in refugee camp saw 100 migrants attack each other with chairs and bins after Syrian girl refused to wear a headscarf

In Austria a disturbing report of women forced to run gauntlet of migrants at the Austrian station so risky it's been dubbed 'the terminus of fear'

Linz has become a gathering point for migrants turned away from Germany because they come from 'safe' countries

They are now massing at the train station - where there is free wifi, access to alcohol and warm passenger lounges

But pack mentality has taken over - and women passing through are routinely grabbed at and insulted by the men, it is claimed

It is claimed the groups fight between themselves, have been defecating in the bushes and are seen 'falling over drunk'

In Yorkshire a female carer offered her 'Hansel and Gretel house' to vulnerable young girls so they could be pimped out to violent Asian rape gang who 'owned' Rotherham

Business Owner Arms Entire Staff to Combat Rising Crime Rate

"I would not want to come into one of my facilities"

Adan Salazar | Infowars.com - February 24, 2016

A Georgia business owner is taking the Second Amendment to a whole new level by mandating all his employees be trained to use and carry a firearm. Criminals targeting Lance Toland Associates, an airplane insurance company with three separate offices, will find themselves staring down the large barrel of a Taurus Judge revolver, the handgun provided to employees by the business’s owner. “Everybody has one of these in their drawer or on their person,” Toland told WSBTV introducing them to the Judge. “I would not want to come into one of my facilities. It’s a five shot .410, just like a shotgun and you call it ‘hand cannon’.” Toland says the rising crime rate around the Atlanta area prompted him to impose the policy, which he says employees have gladly adhered to. “They all had their conceal carry permit within 3 to 4 weeks of me announcing that this was something you had to do,” Toland stated. “With the presentation of their license, they all got a .410 judge pistol.” The business owner says several of his high profile customers are happy to hear about the new gun requirement, and says they may also enact similar business policies. “A lot of my clients are high fiving when they hear this. They think it’s the best things for a company to mandate gun ownership and be responsible,” he said. A survey taken by WSBTV reporter Craig Lucie found a large majority of his 11.6 thousand followers felt the weapon requirement was a good idea.

Obama picks side in 'hail Satan' abortion fight

Administration to argue on behalf of industry against safety regulations for women

Published: 3 days ago Bob Unruh

The Obama administration has been given permission to argue before the U.S. Supreme Court against safety regulations for the abortion industry and alongside the mob that chanted “hail Satan” when the rules were adopted in Texas in 2013. In a terse note from the court, the justices granted permission for the U.S. Solicitor General to participate in oral argument in the Whole Women’s Health case. At the same time, the court refused permission for “counsel or Guardian Ad Litem to represent all unborn persons.” Matthew Clark, writing for the American Center for Law and Justice website, said the “most pro-abortion administration in history will now bring the full weight of the Justice Department to bear on this landmark case.” He pointed out that the Texas law essentially bans late-term abortions after 20 weeks, requires abortion doctors to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals so that victims of botched abortions can get immediate help, requires abortion clinics to follow the same safety standards applied to medical facilities and enforces FDA guidelines for handing out drugs. Read the tested and proven strategies to defeat the abortion cartel, in “Abortion Free: Your Manual for Building a Pro-Life America One Community at a Time.” “That’s right, President Obama’s pro-abortion legal juggernauts will be arguing directly before the Supreme Court to ensure that no regulation whatsoever of the abortion industry be allowed – leaving women and children to suffer at the hands of unregulated, dangerous, money-grubbing abortionists,” Clark wrote. “This is the culmination of what a pro-abortion mob, shouting ‘hail Satan,’ attempted to do – shutting down the Texas legislature in an effort to block the passage of a state law imposing basic safety regulations on abortion clinics.” WND reported in 2013 when Texas adopted the limits that pro-abortion activists chanted “hail Satan” in the statehouse. When the fight was raging, a video appeared showing pro-life advocates singing “Amazing Grace” while abortion activists chanted “hail Satan.” Another video of the event, posted on a blog site run by Adam Cahnman, revealed the chant taken up in unison by several voices, an effect Steven Ertelt of LifeNews.com called far “creepier.” The first of the voices can be heard at about the 3:35 mark of the following video, a portion of the speech delivered by a pro-life advocate identified only as Ashley. By the 5:15 mark, however, the droning chant of several voices can be heard clearly: As WND reported at the time, Democrats killing a pro-life plan by Texas Republicans in a special session of the legislature with a late filibuster aided by a raucous mob that would not allow representatives to record their vote by the legal deadline of midnight. Then-Gov. Rick Perry, vowing his state would not succumb to mob rule, called another special session immediately to address the proposed abortion limits, and the limits quickly were adopted. The fight over abortion was raging at the time because of the murder conviction of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell, who used scissors to snip the spinal columns of babies born alive. There were similar allegations in a case in Texas, although no charges resulted: Clark noted that the abortion industry didn't challenge the late-term ban – "only the commonsense protections for women and basic safety standards." "Think about that for a moment: The abortion industry has refused to comply with these basic, common-sense health and safety standards. As a result, about half of the state's 41 abortion clinics have already closed. When these final challenged provisions go into effect, it is estimated that another half of the remaining clinics will be shut down because of the abortion industry's intractable refusal to comply with the law," he wrote. "Yet, they are actually using their refusal to comply with the law, which is in turn forcing their closure, to make the legal argument that there aren't enough abortion clinics left in the state to ensure women's 'right' to abortion is maintained," he wrote. Read the tested and proven strategies to defeat the abortion cartel, in "Abortion Free: Your Manual for Building a Pro-Life America One Community at a Time." "Here's how their argument works. If you regulate us, we won't comply. Since we won't comply, the state will be forced to shut us down. Since there will be no abortion clinics left, women will be in danger and they will have their 'right' to abortion denied. So the court must allow these (now unsafe) clinics to remain open and unregulated by even the most basic safety standards." WND commentator Matt Barber, when the Texas bill was debated, wrote: "I would like to take a moment to pause and personally thank our Satan-hailing friends for their brutally wicked honesty. What may have seemed, at the time, a glib bid to mock the peaceful Christians in attendance has, instead, demonstrated to the world exactly from whom (or what) derives the revolting inhumanity that is all things 'pro-choice.' "Understandably, many leftists now complain that this frank display of 'pro-choice' allegiance to the prince of darkness has hurt the multi-billion dollar baby-killing biz. They're right. It has. It's blown away the smokescreen of euphemistic 'pro-choice' rhetoric and propaganda to expose, naked beneath, that which lies at abortion's inglorious core: Death, death and more death." He continued: "Indeed, the very Satan they hail was the first 'pro-choicer.' While Jesus is 'the way, the truth and the life,' Satan is the end, the lie and death itself. While Christ is the 'author of life,' Satan is the author of abortion. Our 'pro-choice' friends in Texas have now revealed that they at least intuitively recognize this reality."

Tungurahua erupts sending ash more than 6 km above the crater, Ecuador

Posted by Adonai on February 26, 2016

Ecuador's Tungurahua erupted at 17:02 UTC on February 26, 2016, sending ash more than 6 km (19 685 feet) above the crater (11 km / 36 089 feet a.s.l.). IGEPN reported there have been four explosions so far today. Ash emissions were observed traveling north-west. Ash fall was reported in Chonglontus, El Manzano and Cahuají. Geologic summary Tungurahua, a steep-sided andesitic-dacitic stratovolcano that towers more than 3 km above its northern base, is one of Ecuador's most active volcanoes. Three major edifices have been sequentially constructed since the mid-Pleistocene over a basement of metamorphic rocks. Tungurahua II was built within the past 14,000 years following the collapse of the initial edifice. Tungurahua II itself collapsed about 3000 years ago and produced a large debris-avalanche deposit and a horseshoe-shaped caldera open to the west, inside which the modern glacier-capped stratovolcano (Tungurahua III) was constructed. Historical eruptions have all originated from the summit crater, accompanied by strong explosions and sometimes by pyroclastic flows and lava flows that reached populated areas at the volcano's base. Prior to a long-term eruption beginning in 1999 that caused the temporary evacuation of the city of Baños at the foot of the volcano, the last major eruption had occurred from 1916 to 1918, although minor activity continued until 1925.

US, Mexican scientists predict Armageddon in California

US and Mexican scientists have made yet another warning about the danger of destructive earthquakes in Southern California. Geologists of Mexico and UC Davis (USA) continued the study started by the USGS, the Southern California Earthquake Center and the California Geological Survey. According to the researchers, tremors may produce the "domino effect" in the fault network in California. The effect may thus lead to much greater destruction. A research from 2008 showed that a strong magnitude 8.0 quake in California was likely to happen. The probability of the disaster to occur in the last 30 years has increased from 4.7% to 7%. Leading scientist at the USGS, Ned Field, said that the studies proved the presence of systemic manifestations in multiple faults in the earth's crust, where tremors may lead to ruptures in several fault zones at once. USGS geophysicist Morgan Page added that multi-faults could lead to a catastrophic earthquake. The scientist exemplified his point of view with El Mayor Cucapah magnitude 7.2 quake in 2010 that affected other faults networks. Recent studies indicate that earthquakes in fault networks may cause a chain reaction, and large magnitude tremors may thus spread throughout California like a "domino effect," provoking one catastrophic event after another in other systems at large distances. The well-known San Andreas Fault is especially dangerous at this point. An earthquake in the area of the fault may cause "Armageddon" for the entire region. - See more at: http://www.pravdareport.com/news/science/earth/26-02-2016/133652-armageddon_california-0/#sthash.UcLeNWt9.dpuf

The North Korea of North America…

By samson7able on February 26, 2016 •

The North Korea of North America Get Ready, Church. When the troublous tide engulfs North America… when Christians here are not whisked away from all torture and torment … when uncontrollable evil leaders implement the Agenda of the Ten Kings of Revelation 17 , the Church will be under severe persecution. It will be the LAST persecution on earth of GOD’S people, but it will be the MOST SEVERE persecution ever endured. It will be so bad that unless the LORD had curtailed the days of it, no flesh would be saved. When this happens, the Church of North America will go through the Great Sifting. We will be ground like as in a sifter with a spring handle which moves a mesh screen back and forth, back and forth under a tight metal blade until the flour is fully ground, filtered, and finally… READY FOR USE. We will have no choice except to cling onto CHRIST JESUS and endure… or else, we will deny CHRIST before men. Already, we are softening the blow by tolerating unrighteousness in the church proper. Some call it “toleration” ; others call it “loving one another.” When we do this, we are conditioning ourselves to capitulate to the evil coming in like a flood. No Standard of CHRIST is in our hand to lift up against the wicked or their program. No Light of CHRIST emanates from us. HE+ does not recognize us as His+ Brethren. By so doing, we plot a way to escape from the persecution. Indeed, some may … only to fall into an Eternal Persecution, an unceasing persecution. Is persecution determined for North America ? Does GOD have favorites ? Yes, HE+ does. HE+ favors those who pick up the Cross HE+ assigns and count it all joy. The Church of North America MUST be sifted. It must be sifted soon before the Light is totally removed from it. No other country on earth has had at least SOME FORM of the Gospel preached as much as it has gone forth in North America. We have the Gospel coming at us on TV, from the radios, in movies , DVD’s, and even billboards. The internet is replete with the Gospel in every language and persuasion imaginable. Magazines, newsletters, and fund-raising mail-outs fill our mailboxes. Our homes and churches — and even thrift stores — are awash with Bibles. The Gospel message of Salvation has been available to North Americans for decades and decades. What have we done with it ? Has Psalm 89: 7 been the result? That is, “GOD is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about HIM.” NO. So, the LORD has a plan to make the Church ready… ready to bear Spirit-filled witness to The LORD JESUS CHRIST. We have done it our way; now HE is going to show us the RIGHT way. Now is My+ soul troubled; and what shall I+ say … FATHER, save ME+ from this hour ? but for this cause came I+ unto this hour. FATHER, Glorify Thy Name John 12:27 – 28a HE is going to make the church ready to be made into the likeness and image of JESUS, HIS Beloved SON+. HE is preparing the crucible to smelt the dross away from the pure gold of the saints; it is impossible to remove the dross by any other means. When THAT happens, Church, you will either fall away in bitterness or you will be strong and do exploits. Those exploits will not be to release the Church from persecution, however. Fiery shafts from the Followers of JESUS will be sent upon the Kingdom of Darkness, upon the Ten Kings of Revelation 17. They will not be able to work their evil unscathed. They WILL BE hindered from a total take-over of the earth. But in their wrath, i.e., the devil’s wrath, they will turn to persecute the Church even more. Those who endure to the end will be focused upon The Coming LORD JESUS CHRIST and His+ Arrival on the Mount of Olives. They who endure will be cheering the gathering of ALL the nations into the Valley of JEHOshaphat, where they will promptly be taken care of by the MAKER of Heaven and Earth. They will not be looking for peace from any direction or in any entity or homeland, but rather from The KING+ of kings and LORD+ of lords. They will be SOLD-OUT to JESUS. They will be the REAL Church. Church, are you ready for this ? HOW TO GET READY • Yield your entire heart over to JESUS. • Minimize your involvement in the world. •Maximize every spare moment by prayer, fasting, Scripture reading and studying and memorization. • Feast on JESUS (via the HOLY SPIRIT) instead of indulging your flesh. • Curtail every activity possible and teach your flesh to submit to QUIETNESS. • Train yourself, through the HOLY SPIRIT, to Listen for His+ Voice. • Do nothing, Go nowhere, See no-one without HIS+ direct unction. WORK… for the night is coming… when no man can work. + + + In the Name of GOD the FATHER ALMIGHTY, and of HIS Beloved Eternal SON+ and WORD+, and HIS Blessed Eternal HOLY SPIRIT. Amen.

Israeli Troops Raid Volatile Palestinian Refugee Camp North of Jerusalem

Associated Press March 01, 2016 9:36 AM

JERUSALEM— Israeli troops who came under attack after raiding a volatile refugee camp north of Jerusalem early Tuesday were trying to rescue a pair of soldiers who had apparently lost their way using the popular navigation app Waze, the military said. Palestinian health officials say a 22-year-old Palestinian man was killed and four others were wounded in clashes that broke out amid the raid. The two Israeli soldiers mistakenly entered the Qalandia refugee camp in the West Bank where they were pelted with rocks and firebombs, said Israeli military spokesman Brig. Gen. Motti Almoz. They fled after their jeep caught fire, with one escaping to a nearby Jewish settlement and the other taking cover in the yard of a Palestinian family for about an hour before he was rescued by the Israeli troops amid heavy clashes. The military said it went into emergency mode because of concerns that one of the soldiers had been abducted. The Palestinian Red Crescent identified the killed Palestinian man as university student Eyad Sajadiyeh, saying he was shot in the head during the fighting. The Israeli military said ten security personnel were wounded. etc. and the news story continues..

IAF receives initial delivery of David's Sling components

After completion of final series of tests, the Air Force receives missile-defense system's interception, command and control, and radar systems; after testing their performance, the system could become operational.

Yoav Zitun Published: 03.01.16, 17:13 / Israel News

The Israeli Air Force has begun receiving the David’s Sling missile-defense system, which is expected to become operational within weeks, the Defense Ministry said Tuesday. After a series of final tests, the advanced interceptor system was successfully completed last December. The Missile Defense Directorate of the Defense Ministry's Administration for the Development of Weapons and Technological Infrastructure, together with the US Missile Defense Agency (MDA), has begun delivering the system’s central components to the Air Force. The delivery process is gradual, according to David’s Sling development plan, and is expected to go on for a few weeks. In the first phase, the project's managers began delivering the interception, command and control, and radar systems. The IAF will now start testing the performance of all of the system's components, following which the system will be declared operational. David’s Sling is considered the most innovative and revolutionary among interceptor systems in the world. This system, which will be a part of a multi-layered defense system being developed by the Missile Defense Directorate in collaboration with the Air Force, would allow Israel to deal more effectively with a wide range of current and future threats to its safety. David’s Sling will provide an additional layer of protection against missiles and rockets at short and medium ranges and will add interception capabilities to the Arrow system. This will bolster Israel's defenses against the threat of missiles and rockets. The system is designed to operate independently in accordance with Israel's security needs and the threats it faces from enemies that could launch several volleys at the same time from ranges of tens to hundreds of kilometers. It can also operate in tandem with other defense systems at the IAF's disposal - the Arrow and Iron Dome. The US budget for missile defense increased this year, and the white House is preparing to send a request to Congress for supplementary budget based on changing security needs. Thus, the budget for the multi-layered defense system in 2016 will be similar to that of previous years and perhaps even higher. There are two significant tests planned for the Arrow system (Arrow 2 and Arrow 3) in 2016, as well as further development and testing of David’s Sling. The cooperation with the Americans is notable both regarding the technology and in the context of their participation in financing the development and production of the programs.

Nato commander: Isis ‘spreading like cancer’ among refugees

Philip Breedlove says refugees are ‘masking the movement’ of terrorists, but human rights groups disagree: ‘We are talking about needles in haystacks’

Mayo/AFP/Getty Images Alan Yuhas @alanyuhas

Tuesday 1 March 2016 15.38 EST

Refugees from the Middle East and north Africa are “masking the movement” of terrorists and criminals, Nato’s top commander told Congress on Tuesday, despite the protests of human rights groups who say that refugees overwhelmingly have no ulterior motive but escape. In testimony to the Senate armed services committee, US general Philip Breedlove said that the Islamic State terror group is “spreading like a cancer” among refugees. The group’s members are “taking advantage of paths of least resistance, threatening European nations and our own”, he added. Breedlove also blamed Russia’s bombing campaign in Syria, in support of autocratic leader Bashar al-Assad, for having “wildly exacerbated the problem”. The airstrikes, nominally against Isis but largely against the various rebel groups arrayed against Assad, have allegedly killed more than 1,000 civilians, including children. Breedlove said these indiscriminate attacks mean to terrorize Syrians and “get them on the road” toward neighboring countries and Europe. The Kremlin and Assad intend, according to Breedlove, to use migration as a weapon to weaken European unity and infrastructure. The general said that European nationalist groups that oppose immigration also weaken the continent, and could themselves threaten violence. etc. and the news story continues.

Israel Prepping Military For Biblical Armageddon? See Iran, ISIS Likely Uniting For WWIII

March 1, 2016 by SkyWatch Editor

Israeli military analysts are now beginning to prepare top officials, who are in turn beginning to prepare the nation, for what eventually may become the start of World War III. Most analysts still believe the Syrian crisis is a sectarian conflict between the Sunni, Shi’a and Alawite Muslims. But that time is long gone. A cataclysmic clash of civilizations is taking place in Syria, one that a number of nations have patiently awaited for decades. Turkey, so deeply invested in the glorious history of its Ottoman Empire period, would find great satisfaction in stretching its influence with a modern-day “Turkish Islamic Union” that might embrace like-minded nations in the region and perhaps also beyond. Da’esh, as it is known in the Middle East and which in English calls itself the “Islamic State” (known by others as ISIS or ISIL) is rapidly stretching its influence to build a worldwide Sunni caliphate.

Islam pushing world towards End Times as it welcomes the Antichrist (Mahdi), says Christian scholar Michael Youssef

Hazel Torres 26 February 2016

Islam is pushing the world towards the end times where Muslims believe their messiah the Mahdi will appear, popular Christian Pastor, biblical scholar and author Michael Youssef writes in his new book. However, Youssef proposes that the Mahdi is the evil Antichrist himself, who is described in the Bible as the one figure who will bring about the end of the world. In "The End Times & the Secret of the Mahdi," Youssef details how biblical prophesies are being fulfilled leading toward the events described in the Book of Revelation and elsewhere in the Bible. Youssef, the head of the global outreach ministry Leading the Way and founder of Atlanta's Church of the Apostles, says conditions are rife for the coming of the Antichrist. "I came to the conclusion that we are coming into the period of time like we have never seen before in history," Youssef told CBN News recently in an interview. Youssef, who was born in predominantly Muslim Egypt, said he deeply loves Islamic people but believes their religion is opening the gate for the Antichrist. "He [the Antichrist] will lull the world into believing in him, even worshipping him as their messiah. But he will end up abusing humanity like it's never been tormented before," Youssef says in the promotional video for his new book. Youssef quotes Muslim scholars in his book on what Islam preaches about their messiah. "When their messiah comes, he's going to cover the whole world," he says. "He's going to rule the world. And he's going to declare himself to be a Muslim. And he's going to turn on the Christians and the Jews." Youssef says the Bible also states the same thing about the Antichrist. Youssef cites other parallels he sees between the Mahdi and the Antichrist in the CBN interview. "He will call himself 'the man of peace.' That he's going to come at a time of chaos and confusion and people longing for somebody to guide them and lead them and bring them peace because they will be worn out," Youssef says. Both the Bible and Islam talk about this figure's seven-year global reign from Jerusalem and say this figure of "peace" will turn out to be excessively violent. "He's going to begin to persecute people. He's going to demand their worship," Youssef says. "Same thing on the other side—that he's going to kill everybody who does not worship him." He says some Shiites, particularly those in Iran, have actually been trying to shape world events to bring about coming of the Mahdi. "He will appear when the world is in chaos and he will bring peace," Youssef says. "So (Mahmoud) Ahmadinejad, the former president of Iran, basically wanted to stir up trouble and get the nuclear weapons so they could attack Israel and create an atmosphere of chaos, so to force their Mahdi—or the 12th caliphate—to show up." Some of the most violent Sunnis are trying to set off the end times as well, Youssef adds, referring to the Islamic State (ISIS). "They also have that concept that when chaos and bloodshed reign supreme—and that's why they're shedding so much blood—that their messiah will come." However, Youssef says Christians should not fear. "The Lord said, 'When you see these signs, lift up your head, for the day of your redemption is drawing nigh.' And so, far from being afraid and worried and concerned, we should be rejoicing," Youssef says. The Bible warns that the world will be deceived by Antichrist's global false religion, which at first will tolerate and bring all religions together. In this regard, Youssef notes about the emergence of "Chrislam"—a combination of Christianity and Islam. "There is something that is rampant among mainline denominations called Chrislam," Youssef states. "There are churches in Canada and the United States where they read from the Quran as well as the Bible. There are churches that have the Quran in the pews." But there is a way to be immune from false religion, Youssef says. "If a person is a genuine believer in Jesus Christ, he will not be deceived," Youssef says. "The Holy Spirit is going to give us discernment that we will be able to tell the difference."

Confronting a Dangerous End-Time Mentality

9:30AM EST 2/29/2016 Michael Brown

I hear it all the time, and as quickly as I hear it, I reject it. It is a paralyzing, destructive mentality, and it is unbiblical—plain and simple. I'm talking about the mindset that says, "Jesus told us everything will get worse, so why bother trying to bring about change?" Can you imagine what church history would like if Paul and Peter felt that way in the first century or if Wesley and Wilberforce felt that way in the 18th and 19th centuries? Why fight against infanticide in the early church? Jesus said things will only get worse. Why fight against slavery in Great Britain and America? Jesus said things will only get worse. Why fight against apartheid in South Africa? Jesus said things will only get worse. Why even oppose the Nazis? Jesus said things will only get worse. Do you see how paralyzing this mentality can be? In response to my video message challenging the Charlotte City Council to vote against an extreme, LGBT activist bill—it was dubbed "the bathroom bill"—someone posted this on my YouTube channel: "I admire your spirit Dr Brown ... but you know this is fighting the Hand of God. Can you possibly win? Can you possibly even HOPE to win? He said that these days will come. So how is it that you, a man who serves that same God, fights against Him? He says it WILL happen, and you try to STOP it. Is that not fighting against God? No. Instead, praise Him because His Word IS Truth, and preach ENDURANCE and LONG SUFFERING and HOPE. Those are better messages. Trying to stop the Word of God, however, ... is futile." With all respect to the person who posted the comment, this is absolute rubbish. Fighting the Hand of God? Fighting against God? Trying to stop the Word of God? Nonsense! Oh yes, I fully affirm the need to "preach ENDURANCE and LONG SUFFERING and HOPE," and those themes go hand and hand with our actions in Charlotte. But the idea that we are fighting against the inevitable collapse of society in our day—even fighting against God—is an idea to be resisted and rejected. If you don't mind my asking, please tell me where Jesus said that from the year 2016 until His return, things will only get worse. Would you be kind enough to provide the chapter and verse? You might reply, "In Matthew 24, Jesus predicted mass deception and mass apostasy," but it appears you still miss the point. Aside from asking which portions of Matthew 24 referred more directly to the events leading up to 70 A.D.—in other words, to events that took place almost 2,000 years ago—the obvious question is: How do you know that His words apply to today rather than to 100 years from today? Who gave you the insight that we were in the closing years of the era and that all we could expect was gloom and doom? If Jonathan Edwards had believed this in the 1700s, he never would have called the churches together to pray for awakening. The same could be said for every revival in history: If the believers in each generation thought that the apostasy and darkness and moral corruption they were witnessing indicated that Jesus was coming any minute and that positive change was impossible, they never would have sought God for revival and the world would be in massively worse shape today. I came to faith in 1971 when Hal Lindsey's Late Great Planet Earth was all the rage, and we knew that any day now, Jesus was coming back. The signs of the times were all there! I was 16 at that time. Next month, I turn 61. And Jesus still has not returned. What makes you so sure that you have figured it all out and that we should simply capitulate and cave in? What makes you so sure that it's time to throw in the towel and let the devil and the world take over? Is this even a remotely biblical mentality? You might say, "But things have never been as bad as they are today." I suggest you study history more carefully before coming to that conclusion, but even if you're right, that's what other generations have said about their days as well, and the Lord moved mightily with great outpouring and harvest. Who's to say He hasn't saved the best for last? The fact is that a truly biblical mentality is a victorious, faith-filled, overcoming mentality, a mentality of hope and triumph and expectation. Jesus is risen, and Jesus is Lord! That's all I need to know. And Jesus told us that: 1) All authority is heaven and Earth is His; 2) in His name and authority, we are to go and make disciples of the nations; and 3) He is with us always, even to the end of the age (Matt. 28:18-20). Where, then, is there room for discouragement? Where, then, is there room for a "throw in the towel" mentality? And if we are successful in making disciples, won't that mean that positive change will come? The biblical mentality is expressed by John, who told us that "the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining" (1 John 2:8). Or in the words of Paul, "The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us take off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light" (Rom. 13:12). That is how we must live, and that is the attitude we must have as we stand for what is right, regardless of how dire things look and regardless of cost or consequence. And that means that, until our dying day—or until Jesus returns, whichever comes first—the salt must stay salty and the light must stay bright (Matt. 5:13-16). How else could a disciple possibly live?

High Court to Hear Biggest Abortion Case in 25 Years

03-01-2016 CBN News

This week the Supreme Court will hear its biggest abortion case in nearly 25 years. On Wednesday, March 2, Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt will go before the Court. The case involves a Texas law, House Bill 2, that implements safety standards for abortion clinics that match up with the regulations of other surgical clinics. The standards include requirements to uphold quality of care, cleanliness and safety, proper staffing and safe laboratory services. For example, the law requires hallways to be wide enough for gurneys to transport women into an ambulance. The law also requires abortion clinic doctors to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the clinic. Those who oppose the law say it's an "undue burden" on women and a way to restrict access to abortions. They believe the extra expense to implement the safety standards will cause abortion clinics to close. In fact, opponents say the Texas legislature's goal in passing the law was to shut the doors of abortion clinics and "single out abortion for heightened medical regulation." Texas says its law is a way to prevent what happened at the clinic of late-term abortionist Dr. Kermit Gosnell in Philadelphia. A jury convicted Gosnell of three counts of murder for killing three infants born alive by cutting their spinal cords with scissors. He also was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of a 41-year-old immigrant who died from a drug overdose during a botched abortion. In addition to the murder convictions, Gosnell was found guilty on 21 felony counts of performing illegal abortions and 211 counts of violating the 24-hour informed consent law. Investigators described his clinic as a "house of horrors," with blood-stained walls, unsterilized medical equipment and fetal remains stored in the employee refrigerator. In Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt, the Supreme Court will consider if the regulations outlined in the Texas law pass the "undue burden" standard expressed in Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992). The "undue burden" test bans states from putting into effect abortion regulations before viability -- regulations that have the "purpose or effect of placing a substantial obstacle in the path of a woman seeking an abortion." The Court determined viability to be 23-24 weeks gestation because of medical advances. Texas says there is enough evidence that the regulations under its law are vital to promote the health and safety of women. With the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, the Court could tie 4-4, which would uphold the appeals court decision in favor of the Texas law. A conservative or liberal justice would have to break ranks to avoid a tie. "Abortionists should not be given a free pass to elude medical requirements that everyone else is required to follow," said Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Steven H. Aden. "The 5th Circuit was on firm legal ground in its decision, and we have asked the Supreme Court to affirm it. The law's requirements are common-sense protections that ensure the maximum amount of safety for women," Aden said.

‘Unlocking cellphone is trivial, FBI should stop deceiving public & tell truth’ – John McAfee

Published time: 1 Mar, 2016 12:10

The US public doesn’t need a Digital Security Commission, they need the FBI to stop deceiving everyone and tell the truth that it wants to spy on Americans, John McAfee, developer of the first commercial anti-virus program told RT’s Ed Schultz. Republican Michael McCaul, Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee and Senator Mark Warner, a member of the Senate's Select Committee on Intelligence have introduced a draft bill that would create a ‘Digital Security Commission.’ It is supposed to help the US federal government better manage issues with encryption and better control the competing interests of law and technology companies. The proposal came amid the ongoing legal standoff between Apple and the FBI over a San Bernardino attacker’s cellphone the feds want to decrypt. John McAfee: Well, more spying – that’s what comes to mind to me. Let me try to make this issue simple for the American public and for the FBI, who clearly doesn’t understand. These devices are computers, whether it is an Android phone, iOS phone, or whatever. Inside - is a processor, which is a computer, the instruction set, which is the iOS, and all the applications that you run and the memory - in which you store your data. Let’s take the FBI case. The FBI wants Apple to change their software, so that it removes the check for security, so that we don’t check for security anymore. Once it has that software, they can use that software on any phone. But they say they only need it for one phone. I am going to tell the world exactly how we do this. Now I’ll probably lose my admission to the world hackers’ community, however I want to tell you. You need a hardware engineer and a softer engineer. The hardware engineer takes the phone apart, and copies the instruction set, which are the iOS and applications and your memory. And then you run a program called a disassembler, which takes all the ones and zeros and gives you readable instructions. Then the coder sits down and he reads through. What he is looking for is the first access to the keypad, because that is the first thing you do, when you input your pad. It’ll take half an hour. When you see that then he reads the instructions for where in memory this secret code is stored – it is that trivial – a half an hour. … The FBI knows this, Apple knows this. And this is not an indictment of Apple. Any computer that falls into someone’s hands, anybody can do it, which is why corporate datacenters keep their computers locked up; and this is why we ought to keep our own phones locked up… In either case if they (the FBI) don’t know – that is tragic; if they do know it – then they are deceiving the American public and Apple and everyone else by asking for a universal key. RT: Does a Digital Security Commission complicate the process, or does it get in the way? Is it an avenue of the solution, in your opinion? JM: It certainly gets in the way. Why do you need a ‘Digital Solutions Commission,’ when the FBI should be able to take a hardware engineer and a software engineer and get exactly what they need? I can do it; anybody can do it. We don’t need a commission, what we need is the truth… The FBI needs to get its act together and tell the truth: “We need it, because we want to spy on Americans!” Cool, let’s talk about that, but please don’t try to deceive us by pretending we are idiots. We aren’t. I just explained to you and I am sure you understood it, and your entire audience understood the simplicity of getting access to that secret code.

Bombshell: Insider Leaks Koch Bros, Rubio Plan to Stop Trump

Bombshell: Roger Stone reveals establishment using Mitt Romney as Plan B if Rubio fails!

Kit Daniels | Infowars.com - February 28, 2016

Insiders who were at a recent meeting between the Koch Bros. and Marco Rubio leaked intel on how exactly they’re going to try and steal the election from Donald Trump, GOP strategist Roger Stone revealed. The Koch Bros. met with GOP millionaires and billionaires Thursday night to pool together over $75 million to stop Trump and are going to use Mitt Romney as ‘Plan B’ if Rubio fails to gain traction on Super Tuesday, according to moles who were inside the meeting. “$75 million to stop Trump and $25 million to Marco Rubio, but they gave Rubio a condition: he’s got to win the Florida primary or he’s out and Mitt Romney’s in,” Stone revealed. “That’s the plan.” “First they’ll ramp up an enormous, negative campaign on TV against Trump and they’re going to hit this phony Trump University issue,” he continued. “They claim to have personal dirt on Trump – I doubt that – and they are also going to try and delve into his business affairs, but if Rubio fails to grab the Florida primary, then Rubio’s out and Mitt Romney’s in.” “The plan is for Romney to file for the New Jersey, New York and California primaries in an all-out ditch effort to stop Donald Trump and you heard it here on Infowars.com.” Additionally, Marco Rubio’s wife called Ted Cruz’s wife, Heidi, to desperately beg Cruz to exit the race and aid Rubio, but Heidi said no, Stone said. “The power structure’s desperate, the Rubio and Cruz teams are going back and forth but they can’t agree as to who will be the candidate,” he added. “I still believe Mitt Romney is totally dressed up, already made up, waiting in the wings… to step in as the last, best hope of the ‘stop Trump’ movement, and frankly I think Trump will bulldoze him as well.”

“Uncontrollable radioactive flow” coming from nuclear plant near NYCActual releases are “trillions of times” higher than reported during latest leak — Cracks in multiple spent fuel pools — Intense investigation underway to see if it can be stopped (VIDEO)

Inhabitat, Feb 26, 2016 (emphasis added): ‘Uncontrollable radioactive flow’ from Indian Point continues to contaminate the Hudson River — No matter where you live, “uncontrollable radioactive flow” is not a phrase that you want to hear in relation to your local water source … According to the Huffington Post’s report, for more than a decade, the Indian Point plant has been unable to prevent its highly radioactive reactor and spent fuel pool coolant from leaking into groundwater routes that eventually lead into the Hudson River. Entergy, the operator of the plant, seems to zero in solely on tritium… The most recent leak, however, according to an assessment by the New York Department of State as part of its Coastal Zone Management Assessment, contains a variety of radioactive elements such as strontium-90, cesium-137, cobalt-60, and nickel-63 in addition to tritium… Huffington Post by journalist Roger Witherspoon, Feb 15, 2016: Indian Point Contaminates the Hudson River With Uncontrollable Radioactive Flow — For more than a decade, it has been impossible for operators of the Indian Point nuclear power plant to stop highly radioactive reactor and spent fuel pool coolant from leaking into the groundwater and migrating to the Hudson River… there is no indication that the company has developed the ability to prevent the latest uncontrolled leaks from following the underground waterway into the Hudson. And because the river is a tidal estuary flowing as much as 20 miles above and below the nuclear site, radioactive contaminants may be sucked into the drinking water systems of several river towns… Entergy representatives declined to comment on planned and unplanned radioactive discharges into the environment. The sequence of events leading to leaks of radioactive liquids from Indian Point 2 is the subject of an intense investigation… to determine how the leak occurred and whether or not it can be stopped… In the past, the Coastal Zone Management report states, “radioactive releases have been detected at the Indian Point facility from cracks in two different spent fuel pools. Leaks of radioactive liquids from the Indian Point 2 spent fuel pools have reached the Hudson River”… Journalist Roger Witherspoon, Feb 12, 2016: Initial reports from Entergy to the NRC and to Gov. Cuomo’s office were that the tritium readings were as high as 8 million picocuries per liter… The fact that several river towns do use the Hudson as a primary water source is discounted because the radioactive flow is diluted by the rest of the water in the River. But that ignores the fact that radioactive particles do not dissolve or lose their potency even if they are harder to encounter… Entergy has a… permit which entitles Indian Point to regularly pour radioactive contaminants into the groundwater, the Hudson River, and the air. In 2013 Indian Point released 1,300 Curies of radioactive material into the Hudson and the Buchanan air. That is trillions of times more radioactive material, released legally, than is being released accidentally now.

Mysterious 'meteor' lights up Scottish sky, rumbles dramatically (VIDEO)

Published time: 1 Mar, 2016 11:34 Edited time: 1 Mar, 2016 14:17

A mysterious fireball made a dramatic entrance into the Scottish sky, lighting up the night and making a loud rumbling noise, which left residents somewhat confused. The object is believed to have been a meteor, though that has yet to be confirmed. Police in Scotland said they received a flood of calls at around 6:55pm on Monday, after a bright flash was seen dancing across the sky, Mail Online reported. Residents said they spotted blue, white, and green lights, with many saying they heard a rumbling sound. The fireball was filmed by several dashcams, with drivers posting the footage online. Police and astronomers said the fireball was likely to be a meteor, which burned up as it entered Earth's upper atmosphere. However, that speculation has yet to be confirmed. The Met Office ruled out the possibility of a weather-related cause, stating that there were no thunder storms over Scotland on Monday night. The unexpected fireball shocked those who witnessed it. Resident Jenni Morrison summed it up with a shout of: “What the hell was that?” in dashcam footage as her car drove underneath the flashing light.

As the Day Approaches

By Hal Lindsey

Just over two years ago, the Barna Group polled Americans about the end times. They found that 41 percent agree with the sentence, “The world is currently living in the ‘end times’ as described by prophecies in the Bible.” This is more than a vague awareness that things are off-track; more than an ill-defined sense of looming apocalypse. This is a specific belief that the events of our time match the Bible’s description of the end time. 2 Peter 3:10-13 says, “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up. Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, on account of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.” (NASB) Peter asked, “What sort of people ought you to be?” The King James Version translates it, “What manner of persons ought ye to be?” (KJV) Through Peter, the Holy Spirit tells the reader that the things of this world we get hung up on — money, houses, cars and other luxuries — will not last. He’s telling us to take the long view of history. Look at the big picture. See your life in context — not just the context of tomorrow or next week, but of eternity. Peter asked, “Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be?” Those words were hardly on the page when he began giving the answer. “In holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God.” (2 Peter 3:11-12 NASB) Forty-one percent believe we are in the end times as described in the Bible. So why don’t they live “in holy conduct and godliness?” Forty-one percent is not a majority, but it is such a large minority that mainstream advertisers would never want to offend it. The celebration of evil that permeates American entertainment would not hold — at least not in the mainstream. But even Christians can lose the ability to blush. The world is falling into a pit of violent debauchery, and a large percentage of people who believe Jesus is coming soon, are following the world down. We desperately need another Great Awakening in the United States. That doesn’t just mean sinners being saved. An awakening includes reformation and revival. Christians, including the clergy, need to renew their love for God and His word — to love Him more than money, prestige, or comfort. Hebrews gives us a great picture of how to live our lives, and then says that it is especially true for those who live in the end times. “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.” (Hebrews 10:23-25 NKJV) Two years ago, 41% of Americans said they could “see the Day approaching.” So why aren’t the 41% holding fast the confession of their hope without wavering? Why aren’t we stirring up love and good works in one another? Why do so many forsake the assembling together of those with like faith? I’ve spent much of my life pointing out just how near we are to “the Day.” It’s heartening that so many Americans now agree with that basic message. I pray that this glorious belief will begin to manifest itself in our attitudes and actions. When that happens, we will see miracles!

Are We Living in the End Times?

by Church Militant • ChurchMilitant.com • February 27, 2016 By Deacon Nick Donnelly

Every year my wife and I make time to listen in the quiet of the evening to audio recordings of the Book of Revelation, with their vivid evocation of the conflict between good and evil that is occurring now and is not yet fully upon us. In recent years I have taken this eschatological perspective further by re-reading novels by my favourite Catholic authors that explore apocalyptic themes, such as those by Michael D. O'Brien and Msgr. Robert Hugh Benson. I hasten to add that I am not attracted to the feverish, almost hysterical, millennial predications and speculations associated with some private revelations that are popular in certain Catholic circles. Rather, I seek to understand the times in which we live in the light of God's revelation contained in sacred Scripture. I think the Gospels clearly show that Our Lord wanted us to look at time with the expectation that He would return in glory at some point in the future and to look out for signs of His return. The Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew contains Our Lord's detailed description of the signs that we must look out for that signal His return, including this admonition that we should take seriously: Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will. (Matt. 24:42–44). I Long for the Coming of Our Lord Every week it seems that we read about, and see, new levels of evil in our society, and it just keeps getting worse. This is why I cherish the hope that we are indeed the generation that will witness the glorious Second Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ. When we pray the Eucharistic Acclamations during the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, I feel a deep sense of longing: “We proclaim your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again.” I long for Our Lord to return to establish His justice in the world. And over the years the tentative conviction has been growing in my heart that we may well indeed be the generation chosen by providence to witness the culmination of salvation history. Having said this, I am cautious about coming to any definite conclusion for two reasons: Our Lord's own words exhort us to be agnostic about the day and time of His Second Coming because only Our Father has this knowledge (Mark 13:32; Matt. 24:36); and over the past 2,000 years, groups of Christians have been certain that they were facing the end of the world and were proven wrong because they forgot Our Lord's caution — live in expectation of His return but not certainty about the specifics! In recent interviews the novelist Michael O'Brien has admitted he believes we could be witnessing events foretold in the Book of Revelation. When asked the question "Do you think that our generation is 'The Last Days' one?" he replied: I think so, though I would be happy to be wrong about this. In our times, unprecedented apocalyptic signs are emerging all around us. Certainly, there have been lesser apocalypses throughout our history, but none with the magnitude and character we are now facing. I, like Michael O'Brien, would be happy to be proven wrong about this, but I agree with him that we face unprecedented apocalyptic signs, such as the murder of 2 billion unborn babies over the past 40 years being accepted by many people around the world as moral and good. I also think it is unprecedented that sexual perversions such as homosexuality and transgenderism are approved by majorities in some countries as "good," and those who criticize such perversions are condemned as "evil." We are living during a great apostasy when immorality is applauded as morality, and the good is condemned as evil. Pope St. John Paul II's Prophecy About the End Time During that 1976 Eucharistic Congress in Philadelphia for the bicentennial celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Cdl. Karol Wojtyla made this prophetic declaration about the times in which we live. I think the past 40 years have proven St. John Paul right: We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has ever experienced. I do not think that the wide circle of the American Society, or the whole wide circle of the Christian Community, realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-church, between the gospel and the anti-gospel, between Christ and the antichrist. The confrontation lies within the plans of Divine Providence. It is, therefore, in God's Plan, and it must be a trial which the Church must take up, and face courageously. I frequently re-read this section of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, asking myself the question, does it describe the times in which we live? Before Christ's second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers. The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth will unveil the "mystery of iniquity" in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh. (675) Surely there are signs all around us that this pseudo-messianism rules our political institutions, our educational establishments, our media, and even sections of our Church! Every day Michael Voris and the Church Militant team report with increasing urgency what appears to be a decisive confrontation between the Church and the anti-church, between the gospel and the anti-gospel. We Are Unready and Unprepared for the Day of the Lord I know that not only am I far from ready for the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ, but also that tragically the Church in the West is unready and unprepared. What will it take to wake us from sleep? Since Our Lady appeared to St. Catherine Labouré at Rue du Bac in 1830 and throughout all the series of recognized Marian Apparitions around the world, God in His Providence has taken exceptional measures to wake us up from sleep. But the churches in Europe, apart from Poland, refuse to wake up, and the Church in the United States is falling asleep. In fact, tragically, the churches in the West appear to be falling deeper into the sleep of nihilism, relativism, pragmatism and hedonism. Our Lord has repeatedly given us the remedy to shake off the hold of this deadly sickness: praying daily the mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary. If you make one resolution for this Jubilee Year of Mercy, for your sake, and all our sakes, respond to Our Lady's urgent appeal to pray the Rosary, with this supplication: "O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell, and lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of your mercy. Amen."

Beetle-mania! Bug invasion of 'biblical proportions'

'The end of times is near ... they can sense it'

Published: 22 hours ago

A giant black mass of beetles invading Argentinian beaches has local citizens worried about the apocalypse. Don’t miss Joel Richardson’s compelling books and videos on Bible prophecy, the Antichrist and end times – at WND’s Superstore. Frogs, lice, flies, locusts and other calamities once plagued Egypt, and now resorts near Buenos Aires are dealing with their own infestation of biblical proportions. Social-media sites have erupted with warnings of “impending doom,” the U.K. Mirror reported Wednesday. One man said those experiencing the swarm realize “the end of times is near … they can sense it.” The newspaper said a user identified as khnagar had a much simpler explanation for the beetles’ arrival: science. “It looks like Black Maize Beetle (Heteronychus Arator), which are known for having mass flights in the summer/autumn where they mate and all that,” the observer noted. “Or it’s some similar type of beetle. They only live for a few days at that stage after crawling out of the ground. So a lot of beetles flew, got swept out to sea by the winds, and then came back to the beach, most of them dead or dying. Most likely scenario I can come up with.” “It looks like Black Maize Beetle (Heteronychus Arator), which are known for having mass flights in the summer/autumn where they mate and all that,” the observer noted. “Or it’s some similar type of beetle.

They claim that secretions from the insect boost the human immune system and aide it in combating everything from asthma to AIDS, the Mirror reported.

Egyptian MP removed from office after meeting with Israeli ambassador

465 out of 595 Egyptian representatives voted in favor of Okasha's removal from parliament.

Following his recent meeting with the Israeli ambassador, Egyptian Member of Parliament Tawfik Okasha was ousted from his position on Wednesday, in a decision made by two thirds of Egyptian lawmakers. 465 out of the 595 representatives voted in favor of his removal from office on the grounds that his meeting with Israeli ambassador Haim Koren damaged relations with neighboring nations and that it infringed upon the established parliamentary policy which opposes normalization of relations with Israel. The vote came three days after Okasha was accosted in parliament when another lawmaker hurled a shoe at him and demanded he be suspended from parliament for his misconduct. Okasha sparked controversy in Egypt when he extended an invitation to the Israeli ambassador during his TV show "Egypt Today." He announced in the broadcast: "I have personally invited the Israeli ambassador to Cairo, Haim Koren, to a dinner at my house next week to discuss the Nile dispute and other important issues."

Judge Napolitano: Hillary Will Be Indicted if AG Loretta Lynch Convenes a Grand Jury

Submitted by IWB, on March 1st, 2016

Attorney General Loretta Lynch confirmed to Congress last week that career Justice Department attorneys are working with FBI agents on the ongoing criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton’s email practices and possible public corruption at the Clinton Foundation. According to legal experts, this gives agents “access to the U.S. government’s full investigative tool box, including subpoena power for individuals, business or phone records, as well as witnesses.” Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano says that if Lynch presents their evidence to a grand jury, “Mrs. Clinton will be indicted.”

Over 65K Sign Petition to ‘Arrest & prosecute Bill Clinton’ for Violating Election Laws

Photos and video show former president campaigning for wife at various polling locations

Adan Salazar, Mikael Thalen | Infowars.com - March 2, 2016

An online petition to arrest former President Bill Clinton for allegedly violating election laws has received more than 65 thousand signatures in less than 24 hours. The Change.org petition, started by a Chicago-based Bernie Sanders supporter Wednesday, charges the ex-Commander in Chief with electioneering within 150 feet of a Massachusetts polling station, a “3rd degree Voter Violation Felony.” “This is a call for the immediate arrest of President Bill Clinton for clear, knowing and egregious violation of the campaign laws to swing an election in a significant way,” the petition states. Despite being “told to refrain from this activity,” the petition’s author argues, photos and video show Clinton campaigning for his wife just outside the polling station. According to Massachusetts election law, “[N]o person shall solicit votes for or against, or otherwise promote or oppose, any person or political party or position on a ballot question, to be voted on at the current election… within 150 feet of a polling place.” “You’re blocking the voting poll,” a New Bedford woman can be heard telling Clinton in one video, as he thanked Hillary supporters in the crowd. A spokesman for Bill Clinton, who refused to comment on the allegations, instead referred reporters to Massachusetts secretary of state spokesman Brian McNiff. “No one was prevented from voting,” McNiff said about the New Bedford incident. “The city and voters were notified well in advance of the event.” Reports indicate Clinton visited multiple polling stations throughout the state, including in Newton and West Roxbury, where the former president was seen shaking hands with poll workers. Some Sanders supporters have insinuated Bill’s presence at the polls helped tip the scales in Hillary’s favor, providing her the leverage to defeat Sanders by a mere 1.4 percentage points.

The Council of Foreign Relations Declares War On Donald Trump- His Days Are Numbered

01 Mar, 2016 by Dave Hodges

There will be no parades and no media shows which start out as… “we interrupt this broadcast to bring you this breaking news item…”, but the almighty Council of Foreign Relations (CFR) has spoken and they are endorsing a Hillary Clinton, but mostly they have issued a position statement that Donald Trump must be stopped at all costs. This is the caricature of Trump that ran in the mouthpiece of the Council of Foreign Relations, The Economist. Since when does the self-proclaimed righteous defender of the elite, founded by John Rockefeller, lower themselves to such blatant and childish mudslinging? They don’t, and this behavior is representative of a departure of tactics employed by the elite. And the fact that elite are approaching such a state of desperation, near-panic, if you will, all options are on the table. Again, I say, the elite are proclaiming that all options are on the table when it comes to the fate of Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is their choice and has always been their choice to follow Obama into the White House, with her criminal behavior notwithstanding. The Council of Foreign Relations is no longer a secret and this is who Hillary Clinton serves. Look at the background behind Mrs. Clinton. This is how the CFR gives tacit approval. No matter how criminal, no matter how long the trail of bodies becomes, the CFR is "all in" for their support of America's modern day version of Lizzy Borden. The Council of Foreign Relations is no longer a secret, as it once was, and this is who Hillary Clinton serves. Look at the background behind Mrs. Clinton. This is how the CFR gives tacit approval. No matter how criminal, no matter how long the trail of bodies becomes, the CFR is “all in” for their support of America’s modern day version of Lizzy Borden. As an average American, anytime the CFR, or its first cousin, the Trilateral Commission endorses a candidate, no matter how subtle the endorsement, I assume it is opposite day and move in the other direction. Relevant CFR History Do you know your CFR history? The CFR was the first “modern-day” globalist organization that arose in the early 1920’s when President Wilson was unable to convince the Senate and the American people that it would be a good idea to join The League of Nations, which arose out of the ashes of World War I. The League of Nations, like its descendant, the United Nations, was designed to usurp national sovereignty from its member nations. The CFR was founded by John Rockefeller and they worked very hard at obscuring their existence in the media (whose top elite were members). Any talk of the CFR would have earned that person the original label of “conspiracy theorist”. The main goal of the CFR is world governance and a one world economy that they control. The one world economy is taking shape and it is comprised of those people that Patrick Wood calls technocrats. I hope you are sitting down. These people are intent on owning all energy on the planet through unrealistic caps on our energy usage. Their system of carbon trading will reduce the lifestyles of the average person to about the 1870’s in terms of lifestyles, if we are lucky. Dehumanization and Depopulation are central themes of this approach. Pat Wood details this in his book Technocracy Rising. The ushering in of these strict environmental regulations is why Obama is sitting in the White House. At some future date I will, in great detail, Obama’s connection to this group. Suffice for now, let’s just say that his original membership in the Joyce Foundation where Obama worked for Valerie Jarrett, now the senior-White House advisor is noteworthy. With the support of notables such as Al Gore, Warren Buffet and George Soros, the Joyce Foundation morphed into the intended carbon trading organization, The Chicago Climate Exchange. scalia ripJarrett and Obama were unable to get the Chicago Climate Exchange to a position of prominence because Obama was unable to advance his complete Climate Change initiatives, to any degree, through the Congress. Later, Justice Scalia, was the swing vote on the Supreme Court that was standing in the way of Obama making his Climate Change initiatives law through executive branch fiat. And I am compelled to point out, where is Scalia today? This is a dire warning for Donald Trump. When the smoke clears, Obama may not get his entire package codified into law. However, that is why the CFR has Hillary Clinton. At stake, is the world economy. The elite power structure of the CFR is in charge of the smart grid, and ultimately the use of all energy on this planet including the world’s new economy, carbon trading, the new global currency. Under this system, all debts will be forgiven because the people will be left with nothing when the bank runs, the bail-ins and the absolute collapse of the dollar takes place. This is the most important Presidential race in our history because of the specter of technocracy. If Hillary secures the White House, the elite in the CFR are going to get exactly what they want, absolute power over the planet and with that, the complete power over who lives and who dies. Let’s take a look at the CFR’s condemnation of Trump and their de facto endorsement of Clinton so there can be no doubt as to the accuracy of what I am speaking about. Relevant Excerpts From The CFR’s The Economist …the Republican nomination could be all but over. Donald Trump has already won three of the first four contests. On March 1st, Super Tuesday, 12 more states will vote. Mr Trump has a polling lead in all but three of them. Were these polls to translate into results, as they have so far, Mr Trump would not quite be unbeatable. It would still be possible for another candidate to win enough delegates to overtake him. But that would require the front-runner to have a late, spectacular electoral collapse of a kind that has not been seen before. Right now the Republican nomination is his to lose... With the statement the CFR alarm was sounded. But there is more… When pollsters ask voters to choose in a face-off between Mr Trump and Hillary Clinton, the Democratic front-runner wins by less than three percentage points. Mr Trump would have plenty of time to try to close that gap. An economy that falls back into recession or an indictment for Mrs Clinton might do it for him. That is an appalling prospect. The things Mr Trump has said in this campaign make him unworthy of leading one of the world’s great political parties, let alone America. One way to judge politicians is by whether they appeal to our better natures: Mr Trump has prospered by inciting hatred and violence. He is so unpredictable that the thought of him anywhere near high office is terrifying. He must be stopped (Editor’s Note: Stopped at all costs?). This last statement is a declaration of war by the self-appointed elite in this country and this is so reminiscent of what happened to Bobby Kennedy. When one is losing an argument, they resort to name-calling and that is what we see here where the power-brokers are so desperate that they resort to infantile name calling, taking quotes of out of context and engaging in the worst type of yellow journalism. There’s more… ,,,hinted that Antonin Scalia, a Supreme Court justice, was murdered (Editor’s Note: He was murdered); proposed banning all Muslims from visiting America (Editor’s Note: Trump stated that all immigrants should be screened, a sentiment embraced by most Americans with common sense). Conclusion When the Council of Foreign Relations declares war on an individual, history shows (e.g. JFK, RFK, MLK, et al) have a short shelf-life. One can only imagine how John F. Kennedy felt when he knew that the interlocked and combined forces of the Federal Reserve, the oil industry and the military industrial complete were closing in on him. Donald Trump is in a very similar position. I do not want to end this article on a note of doom and gloom. Those of who work in the Independent Media know that if you are going to be on the list, you better be on the top of the list. Right now, placing extreme attention on the topic of Trump’s safety, is the best way to keep him alive until election day.

US government secretly gave millions of dollars in Social Security payments to Nazi war criminals

Thursday, February 25, 2016 by: J. D. Heyes

(NaturalNews) A new investigation by The Associated Press (AP) turned up dozens of suspected Nazi war criminals and elite SS guards who collected millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars in Social Security benefits after they were forced to leave the country. According to the AP, the payments filtered through a legal loophole that provided leverage to the U.S. State Department to convince Nazi suspects to leave the United States. If they agreed, or merely fled the country before being deported, there were permitted to keep their Social Security, government records and interviews with key figures showed. The AP reported further: Among those receiving benefits were armed SS troops who guarded the network of Nazi camps where millions of Jews perished; a rocket scientist who used slave laborers to advance his research in the Third Reich; and a Nazi collaborator who engineered the arrest and execution of thousands of Jews in Poland. 'He deserved it' And, the investigation found, there are at least four living beneficiaries still collecting payments. Two of them have been identified as Martin Hartmann, a former SS guard at the Sachsenhausen camp in Germany; and Jakob Denzinger, who walked the grounds at the infamous Auschwitz death camp complex in Poland. In 2007 Hartmann moved from Arizona to Berlin just before he lost his U.S. citizenship. Years earlier, in 1989, Denzinger fled to Germany form Ohio after he found out that denaturalization proceedings were underway against him. Soon after, Denzinger settled in Croatia; he now resides in a "spacious apartment on the right bank of the Drava River in Osijek," the AP reported, adding that he refused to discuss his case when approached by an AP reporter. However, his son, who still lives in the U.S., confirmed that his father was indeed still receiving Social Security payments, insisting that he deserved them. The loophole gave the Justice Department's one-time Nazi-hunting division -- the Office of Special Investigations -- authority to bypass long deportation hearings, as it boosted the number of Nazis being told to leave the U.S.: But internal U.S. government records obtained by the AP reveal heated objections from the State Department to OSI's practices. Social Security benefits became tools, U.S. diplomatic officials said, to secure agreements in which Nazi suspects would accept the loss of citizenship and voluntarily leave the United States. "It's absolutely outrageous that Nazi war criminals are continuing to receive Social Security benefits when they have been outlawed from our country for many, many, many years," Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., a senior minority member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, told the AP, adding that she will introduce a bill to close the legal loophole. According to the AP's analysis, at least 38 of 66 Nazi suspects removed from the U.S. since 1979 were allowed to keep their benefits. Almost 20 years ago, in 1997, the Social Security Administration voiced displeasure of the use of benefits to pay Nazi suspects; in addition, criticism of the policy reached a number of foreign capitals. 'Nazi dumping' ended, but the loophole did not The AP noted: Austrian authorities were furious upon learning after the fact about a deal made with Martin Bartesch, a former SS guard at the Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria. In 1987, Bartesch landed, unannounced, at the airport in Vienna. Two days later, under the terms of the deal, his U.S. citizenship was revoked. He continued to receive Social Security benefits until his death in 1989. "It was not upfront, it was not transparent, it was not a legitimate process," James Hergen, an assistant legal adviser at the State Department from 1982 until 2007, told the newswire service. "This was not the way America should behave. We should not be dumping our refuse, for lack of a better word, on friendly states." Eventually, the practice that became known as "Nazi dumping" ended, but the benefits loophole continued.

Society As We Know It Is Breaking Down And Collapses In a Five Stage Process

Society as we know is breaking down and collapses in a five stage process outlined here. While it can be accelerated by certain events like war, a natural disaster, pandemic, terrorist attack, or even an impending asteroid impact, history has shown that economic collapse will essentially happen in this five stage process. To survive the collapse, it is important to read and interpret the signs and understand what assets are important to the current situation so you can be prepared for the worst thereby allowing you to survive intact and with as little damage as possible. STAGE 1. The Decay Begins Everything is good and the economy is thriving. A high standard of living has been achieved. This is the way things should be. Goods are cheap and readily available. Everything seems to be in abundance. Stores are filled with retail items ready to be purchased. Life in general is good. The nation’s working infrastructure is solidly intact and working well. However, the idea that everyone is entitled to have what others have earned now permeates society. Redistribution of Wealth Policies are implemented and quietly woven into the fabric of society. Unchecked and under the guise of fairness and equality, these policies slowly decrease productivity and increase dependency on government entitlement and welfare programs. Word of the day: Prepare! And do it the old fashion way, like our fore-fathers did it and succeed long before us, because what lies ahead of us will require all the help we can get. Watch this video and learn the 3 skills that ensured our ancestors survival in hard times of famine and war. Primary Assets: STAGE 2. The Slippery Slope The economy goes into a slow but steadily increasing decline. Unemployment is on the rise. Ever increasing numbers of people receive government assistance in one form or another. People are paid not to work. Government spending has increased dramatically. The price of gold, silver, and other precious metals rise to prices unheard of just a few years earlier. Inflation reaches the double digit levels. Related articles: When we will wake up in an America without electricity and society will totally collapse Ready or Not? A Total Breakdown of Society is Closer Than You Think! Primary Assets: Cash Precious Metals, Gold and Silver coins ( I strongly advice you to buy them from SQ Metals) Job Stability Elimination of debt Health Insurance Home Equity Automobile with good MPG Acquiring secluded land more than 40 miles from densely populated areas STAGE 3. It is Going to Get Worse The total collapse of the economy begins after a significant and prolonged decline. The government implements price controls. Shortages on essential goods become widespread. Foreclosed houses sit vacant and deteriorating by the tens of thousands. Middle class neighborhoods begin to look like slums. The government begins to print currency to pay its bills and support the tens of millions on public assistance. Inflation increases even more and unemployment exceeds 25%. Banks and businesses fail at ever increasing rates. Nobody seems to have any money. Many are now homeless. Labor unions instigate strikes, civil unrest, and large scale riots. Government services are interrupted and unreliable. Local and national infrastructure is in decay. Violent gangs begin to appear and assert themselves. The government begins confiscation of firearms from law abiding citizens. Violence is everywhere. Cities and urban areas become very dangerous places to live. At this stage, the country seems pretty much beyond the point of no return. However, things can still be reversed even at this stage if the right person at the top really believes in the basic fundamental concepts of Freedom, Independence, Liberty, and Individual Rights and is not afraid to do what is necessary to reverse the current trend. He will be vilified and hated because of his attitude toward personal responsibility, cutting entitlements, and ending welfare programs. Of course, if the right person were in power and did what needed to be done, none of this would have happened in the first place.

(#5 May Be Fatal!)

STAGE 4. The Grab for Power The collapse can transition to this stage at any time after Stage 3. Most of the middle class have lost everything. What used to be well manicured middle class neighborhoods are filled with the carcasses of empty houses damaged and destroyed by vandals. The nation’s infrastructure has been seriously neglected and is in need of a major overhaul. The power grid becomes unreliable. Rolling blackouts are a daily occurrence. You can no longer buy or sell gold or own foreign currency. Inflation is out of control. Now the economy collapses. There is a rush for everything and the shelves go empty in a matter of hours. Society falls into chaos. The control of urban areas shifts when violent gangs takeover control of the streets and urban neighborhoods. The government issues restrictive measures in an attempt to control the economy. Everything is in short supply and heavily rationed. Food and gasoline is very expensive and there are very long lines to get them when they are available. Affordable quality health care is non-existent and your job is a distant memory. You will do without what you are unable to provide for yourself. You will discover what it is to live in a third world country. 1Primary Assets: Relocation to the rural hideaway Firearms and ammo Long term food supplies (1 year minimum) Adequate fuel stores Security plan to protect the group and assets Trained dog for security A working knowledge of survival gardening Survival knowledge and skills Once all of the above has come to pass, the realization of the current circumstances at this moment must be all too obvious. It is too late to prepare at this point. What you did not acquire earlier, you are not going to possess now. Anything of value necessary for your survival has already been claimed. The situation gets worse… much worse. Stage 5 is next… and it is not pretty.

STAGE 5. Freedom, Liberty, and Independence are Lost The government implements martial law. Fighting between civilians and government forces break out nationwide. Maintaining more than a 30 day supply of food is considered hoarding food and is illegal. Severe poverty and starvation become a common sight. The government offers marginally acceptable food, water and shelter in exchange for your Freedom, Liberty, and Independence. Democracy ends and a Socialist form of government takes over under the guise of fixing society’s problems with the false promise that peace and prosperity will return better than it was just a few years ago. A Totalitarian regime assumes power and the individual freedoms and liberties once enjoyed by the people are completely eliminated. Primary Assets: Rural Hideaway Security plan to protect the group and assets Living below the radar in a community of like minded people Firearms and the ability to use them Guard dog for security Survival knowledge and skills A working and producing garden capable of feeding 150% of the group A stable supply of clean water Vegetable seeds for long term food production and barter The will to live and survive in a harsh political climate As you can see, priorities change as the world changes. Your most prized assets of today – your good credit, luxury automobile, and career are no longer important after the economy collapses. FAILURE TO PREPARE TODAY WILL INCREASE THE MAGNITUDE OF YOUR SUFFERING TOMORROW. It is better to prepare 10 years too early than 10 minutes too late. Many who lack vision will say that it will never happen and for those who decide to live unprepared should consider the following statement.

LACK OF PLANNING ON YOUR PART DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN EMERGENCY ON MY PART.

Preparing for an Imminent Nuke Attack: How to Survive When Others Won’t

Posted on March 1, 2016 Written by Tess Penington

Preparing for an Imminent Nuke Attack: How to Survive When Others Won’t

Editor’s Note: Despite the arguments that nuclear energy is a safe way to provide electricity needs for the population, we’ve seen in recent years that, sometimes, things can go horribly wrong. While evacuating and getting as far away from a nuclear disaster is always going to be our best bet, in some cases this becomes impossible. Officials overseeing the crisis may downplay the disaster or fail to alert local residents in time, or by the time the fallout area has been designated it may already be too late to get out. On top of that, any nuclear emergency evacuation alert will be met with mass panic and widespread traffic jams. We need only look at Hurricane evacuations to see how disorderly things can be. With most metropolitan areas having only a few key entry and exit points, there is simply no way to quickly and efficiently move millions of people out of a nuclear fallout zone. RELATED : EMP American Blackout — Are you prepared for a major power outage? We simply cannot downplay the threat posed by nuclear power plants, especially considering the sheer number of plants in operation (see map below). It’s a numbers game. In fact, there are numerous nuclear alarms that go off weekly in the United States alone. The San Onofre plant in southern California was recently taken offline due to a catastrophic failure of its generators and other components – it is offline indefinitely. And, at this time, though completely absent from mainstream media, the government is actively shutting down nuclear plants in the United States as they come up for re-licensing, citing problems with nuclear waste. Weapon That Can Instantly End Modern Life in America On top of that, we have the proliferation of thousands of nuclear weapons all over the world, with several accounts in recent history suggesting that rogue terror organizations may have deployed suitcase bombs or dirty bombs in the United States. Whether real or imagined, the fact is that an enemy of the people of the United States may have their hands on a nuclear weapon and when the time comes, they may very well use it. Understanding that the threat is real is the first step to preparedness. Learning what you can do in the event of a nuclear event is the next step – and the one that can keep you alive while millions of others panic without an idea of how to deal with the situation. Are You Ready Series: Nuclear Disaster Preparedness Since the dawn of nuclear weapons, we have always been weary of a trigger happy world leader hastily pushing a nuke detonator. However, according to history the two worst nuclear events that have occurred were accidental. Chernobyl, being the first event, had a fire and explosion that released large quantities of radioactive contamination into the atmosphere, and spread over much of Western USSR and Europe. The second largest nuclear event is the infamous Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster that occurred in 2011. Each day we are exposed to nuclear radiation, some naturally and some through un-natural means. Those of us who live close to nuclear power plants are exposed more than others. Are You At-Risk? Those that live near nuclear power plants should be especially concerned with nuclear disaster preparedness; especially individuals who live in areas where natural disasters (hurricanes, earthquakes and tornadoes) could damage the nuclear facilities. The map below shows all of the nuclear power plants in the U.S. Many states are areas where natural disasters could quite possibly take out or damage a power plant. Are you ready for this? We Are Affected Globally by Radiation No matter where radiation leaks or disasters occur, they will affect us globally one way or another and we should be ready for them. Due to the Fukushima nuclear disaster, our food supplies, water sources, and even our health have become affected from the radiation dispersed. Radiation tests conducted since the nuclear disaster in Japan have detected radioactive iodine and cesium in milk, beef and vegetables produced in California . This video is a great source that explains how radiation gets into our food supply. etc. and the news story continues..

Kurds claim downing of Turkish helicopter bombing them over Iraqi Kurdistan - reports

Published time: 3 Mar, 2016 08:42 Edited time: 3 Mar, 2016 16:10

Reports have emerged that Kurds have shot down a helicopter over Iraqi Kurdistan, which they say was used in airstrikes against them. Turkish officials have made no comment, but a source confirmed to RT that the incident took place. Previously Ankara acknowledged conducting airstrikes on alleged PKK targets in Iraq. Turkish military is also targeting Kurds inside the country and shelling Kurdish militias in northern Syria. One sortie apparently went wrong for a Turkish assault helicopter as Iraqi Kurdish militia claim they shot the aircraft down. Kani Xulam, from the American Kurdish Information Network, told RT that official Ankara would refrain from reporting any losses in operations against the Kurds, striving to portray the Turkish military as “an invincible power that cannot be beaten.” The Turkish authorities are aiming to make the Kurds submit to them and “come down on their knees,” he said. Xulam said “scores of Turkish soldiers” were taken prisoner by the Kurds with the Turkish government never acknowledging such facts. In the case of the allegedly downed helicopter, there is no reference about the incident in Turkish media, yet the story is now emerging in Kurdish media, Xulam said. No Turkish military losses ever make it into national mainstream media, Middle East political analyst Shwan Zulal told RT. The Kurdish PKK militia, which may be responsible for the alleged downing of the Turkish helicopter, traditionally remains idle during the harsh winter months. However, it will be active from the beginning of spring, which explains why Turkey has recently been shelling Kurdish positions in the mountains, Zulal said.

Zoom to Mars in 6 weeks with new Russian nuclear-fission engine

Published time: 3 Mar, 2016 14:04

A nuclear power propulsion system could propel a spacecraft to Mars in just over a month, a huge step forward from the current 18 months required. Russia might test a nuclear engine as early as 2018, the head of the Rosatom nuclear corporation revealed. Another advantage of a nuclear engine is that it enables a spacecraft to maneuver throughout the flight, whereas existing technology only makes a defined trajectory flight possible. “A nuclear power unit makes it possible to reach Mars in a matter of one to one and a half months, providing capability for maneuvering and acceleration,” the head of Rosatom Sergey Kirienko said. “Today's engines can only reach Mars in a year and a half, without the possibility of return,” Kirienko said. The nuclear engine project was launched in 2010 and by 2012 an engineering design had been created. The project’s budget is estimated at 20 billion rubles (about $US274 million). It has been reported that a prototype nuclear drive could start testing by 2018. Traditional rocket engines are believed to have reached the limit of their potential and can’t be used for deep space exploration. An operable module with a nuclear drive would facilitate space exploration both for close-range expeditions to the Moon and deep-space autonomous robotic missions to the outskirts of the Solar system. Using nuclear energy in space was a big deal in the Soviet Union, which launched a nuclear engine project in 1960 and fulfilled it by 1980. An operable engine was tested at the Semipalatinsk nuclear military range. Between 1970 and 1988, the USSR launched 32 spacecraft equipped with thermoelectric nuclear power plants.

America's Little Fukushima: Nuclear Plant Leaking 'Uncontrollable' Amounts of Radioactive Waste Into Drinking Water of 23 Million New Yorkers

Published: March 2, 2016

An investigation recently called upon by New York governor Andrew Cuomo after the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant reported nuclear material leaking into the areas groundwater reveals a staggering 80% increase in contamination over previous samples. Reported as a "disaster waiting to happen" experts suggest the immediate deactivation of the facility located just 25 miles north of New York City to halt the further contamination of 23 million people's water. The plant which is owned and operated by Entergy has experienced and reported leaks in the past but one iron worker who worked at the facility is unsurprised citing: "I was kind of shocked at how decrepit the facility seemed." upon receiving work there. More troubling though is that the official numbers reported of the most recent samples may not be nearly as accurate as samples from other locations which reported results as much as "65,000 percent times" the readings taken before the Cuomo's investigation. While Paul Gallay, president of watchdog group Riverkeeper, suggested the immediate close of the facility Entergy officials suggest that the tritium leaking into the ground water poses no significant health risk and confusingly cite that "the effected groundwater is on their property" as evidence and that ultimately the contamination problem is more regulatory than it is a concern for the environment. In the past year the problems plaguing the facility are not limited to radioactive leakage but also power outtages, fires and safety alarm malfunctions that further threaten the workers at the facility and local residents. “This latest failure at Indian Point is unacceptable and I have directed Department of Environmental Conservation Acting Commissioner Basil Seggos and Department of Health Commissioner Howard Zucker to fully investigate this incident and employ all available measures, including working with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, to determine the extent of the release, its likely duration, cause, and potential impacts to the environment and public health,” Governor Cuomo said in an official statement. “For over 40 years, Entergy’s Indian Point nuclear facilities have been damaging the coastal resources of the Hudson River estuary…New York is home to four commercial nuclear facilities. When properly located and safely functioning, these facilities are regarded as important generators of electricity… However, by virtue of its location as well as its operations, the Department cannot make the same finding as to Indian Point,” Secretary of State Cesar Perales said. Unfortunately though the fate of the facility is uncertain as the decision to close Indian Point Nuclear Plant in the interest of workplace safety and the cessation of radioactive groundwater contamination affecting 23 million people does not, for whatever reason, s

Gun background checks: February is third-biggest month ever

by Aaron Smith @AaronSmithCNN March 2, 2016: 10:55 AM ET

February was the third-biggest month on record for gun background checks, according to data released Wednesday by the FBI. Background checks, which the FBI conducts every time someone tries to buy a gun from a federally licensed dealer, rose to 2.6 million in February, according to the bureau. February's total falls short of the record set in December, 2015, when 3.3 million background checks were recorded. The second biggest month was in December, 2012, the month of the Sandy Hook school massacre that killed 26, when the FBI logged 2.8 million checks. Background checks, which are conducted by the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS, often spike after mass shootings. This is partly because gun buyers fear for their safety, and partly because they're wary that the crimes might result in more gun control. There were two high profile mass shootings in February. One at a lawnmower factory in Kansas and another allegedly involving an Uber driver in Michigan.

2015 was a record year for background checks since the FBI started tracking them in 1998.

FROM MY BRIGADIER GENERAL FRIEND RETIRED, RESIDING OUT OF COUNTRY :A GENERALS WARNING-COPYRIGHT CLAIMED MAY BE SHARED PROVIDED LINK BACK TO MY ALERTS

Hi Steve, Please put this in the “I need to get his off my chest” category. I know you know most (if not all) of this, but I believe, as a somewhat recently retired US Army General, I have an obligation to put this out there. We have all heard it said that generals are always fighting the last war. I did not find that true during my military career. In fact, I found the opposite. There were many exceptionally smart men and women who strained to look through fog, into the future, in anticipation of what would come next. The problem is, this is extremely difficult to do. Do you think post-World War II (and to some extent post-Korean War) planners could have envisioned the Viet Nam War? Do you think the post-Vietnam planners could have foreseen kicking in doors in Afghanistan and Iraq? What do you think post Afghanistan/Iraq planners are envisioning next? As you know, the Pentagon has war plans for multiple contingencies….along with concomitant branches and sequels. Some predict total war, but those plans rarely see the public eye. With today’s technologies and weaponry, it is too difficult to fathom that any nation would go down this path. Besides, anyone in a position of power, who publicly predicted such a war--- and urged immediate preparation-- would likely see his/her career end rather quickly. Yet sadly, history would indicate total war is the most likely next outcome. Those who fought the last total war, (World War II) have mostly passed. Those who remain have seen their voices grow dim. We are now in the fourth generation from World War II…and all current US generations have come to believe the following about war:

· Wars are protracted affairs that can last a decade or more.

· Wars are low-level conflicts.

· Wars do not affect the general populace of the US. (We bomb others, they don’t bomb us.)

· Only a few are needed to prosecute a war. (Currently, less than one half of one percent of our population have served in the military.)

· War is good for economy.

· The status quo is maintained regardless of war’s outcome.

· God is on our side.

If history is any guide, all of the above beliefs will be shattered during the next war. Steve, there are historical “war cycles.” Not every war can be total (WW II), or a stand-off (Korea), or swiftly-victorious-but-without change (Desert Storm), or indecisive (Vietnam/Iraq/Afghanistan). There is a rhyme and rhythm to human conflict and we are on course for total war. Strauss and Howe to an excellent job of explaining such cycles in their 1997 classic book, The Fourth Turning. With that said, I believe the next war will:

· Last only 2-3 weeks.

· Be a high-level conflict where more people will die than in all previous wars combined.

· See the general US population targeted (and stunned) at the devastation.

· Affect everyone—not just those in uniform.

· Decimate the economy. Those not killed directly will struggle to survive post-hostilities.

· Destroy the status quo and usher in a new order.

· Make manifest that God is no longer on our side. We chose to abandon Him, so He honored our free will. The reality is, Americans have not fared well at the beginning of most wars. We get caught off-guard, stumble, and suffer casualties we should not suffer. Our strength is in our ability to recover and adapt. As a people---and as a military—we have proven ourselves able to adjust “on the fly” and overcome overwhelming odds. This trait is not lost on our enemies. Their solution? Win before we can adjust. Attack so hard and so fast, we cannot get up. The Japanese had this idea at Pearl Harbor, but did not have the means to execute the strategy. Today’s weapons/technology allow for such a strategy to be successful. The difficulty for most American leaders is that they have been brought up to believe there is a linear path to things such as civilization’s progress, economic growth, cultural achievement, technological advancement, military improvement, and so on. Yet, this has never been the case. Things cycle. The ancients knew this. Our founding fathers knew this. Linear thinking is a relatively new mindset…fueled and reinforced in large part by the industrial and technological revolutions. And, while the material achievements have been amazing, and seemingly straight up, the human condition has not changed. Like everything in nature, human behavior cycles. (As an aside, the Romans also believed technological advances were linear and destined to grow to the sky. Yet, after the Empire fell, Europe forgot how to make concrete for over 700 years. When Rome fell, knowledge was lost in the areas of health care, architecture, hygiene, plumbing, engineering, etc. This knowledge was not recovered until centuries later. Thus, even technology cycles, if you look back far enough.) The point is, among other things, industrial and technological advances have reinforced a false belief-system that past is prologue….despite overwhelming historical evidence to the contrary. The result is, we are careening down a destructive path that many Americans can “feel”, but cannot articulate. This is not intended as fear mongering…there is plenty of non-substantiated nonsense out there. As hard as this is to write, however, there is substantial evidence to indicate total war is on the horizon. I believe future historians will look back and say, “How could they have not seen the path they were on?” Your website has offered many solutions re what people should do. Your recent prepper articles have been outstanding. Of course, the best way to live through total war is to not participate. Given this, what can the average American do?

· Leave the battlefield, which in total war, is the entire nation. Go south of the equator.

· If you can’t leave the country, leave the urban areas.

· Prepare as best you can for the war and its aftermath.

· Get right with God.

· Be attuned to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. The early Christians were told via visions, dreams, & prophets to flee before the Romans sacked the city in 70 AD. There is another issue. Your readers are going to have to make a judgment call as to whether the next war is a “God’s judgment war”. If you determine in the affirmative, then your bravery, good intentions, self-sacrifice, and noble deeds will be in vain. You will not be fighting a foreign foe. You will be fighting His will. You will lose. And please, do not fall into the trap that “at least we are better than the other guys”. The Egyptians, Assyrians, and Babylonians were not saints, yet God use them to judge ancient Israel and Judah. Thankfully Steve, you get it…and have gotten it for a long time. You are trying to save lives, both in the physical and the eternal. I am merely adding my voice to yours. I hope this small contribution will convince those who are on the fence to recognize the current situation and take appropriate action. Is there hope? Of course…but it would require repentance and revival on scale we have not seen for a long time in the US. Fast and pray. Your friend in Christ Greg BG, Retired

'World Tearing Apart At The Seams' - Expert Warns: 'It Will Be A Bloodbath' - With US Empire Collapsing, It's Clearly Time For Solutions - David Morgan With The X22Report

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die March 2, 2016

The headlines alone of the financial stories on Zero Hedge, SHTFPlan, The Economic Collapse Blog and a few other alt news websites the past few days should be enough to 'awaken' the still-sleeping masses. As we learn in the stories excerpted here as well as the new video reports below, including one from the X22Report featuring David Morgan and one featuring Michael Snyder from the Economic Collapse Blog, the world is tearing apart at the seams, there is much more to come, we are only in the 'early chapters' and the 'red flags are screaming' as the economy begins its implosion. As we learn from David Morgan in the 1st video, the US empire is now collapsing and it's clearly time for solutions. We've long been warned that the next world war will be fought over resources and food and as we see here, there is really no way to separate what is going on in the financial world from what is getting ready to happen in the 'world of war'. As ANP shared just days ago, many financial experts are now warning the entire system could blow at almost any time and the fact that we're now seeing a breakdown in the chain of supplies, even at the level of the US military, gives us cause for alarm. As Gerald Celente has warned, "when all else fails, they take us to war." With the world at the edge of system breakdown in the financial world, we're all best served to remember the future will not be like the past and 'normal' is over as another financial expert tells us below. "We're In Trouble" according to former FED Chairman Alan Greenspan who, despite helping to create the mess we're in, delivered this stark warning to anyone who would listen: “We’re in trouble basically because productivity is dead in the water…Real capital investment is way below average. Why? Because business people are very uncertain about the future. The regulations are supposed to be making changes of addressing the problems that existed in 2008 or leading up to 2008. It's not doing that. 'Too Big to Fail' is a critical issue back then, and now. And, there is nothing in Dodd-Frank which actually addresses this issue." And finally, here’s the punchline. Asked whether he’s optimistic going forward, Greenspan said this: "No. I haven't been for quite a while. And I won’t be until we can resolve the entitlement programs. Nobody wants to touch it. And that is gradually crowding out capital investment, and that's crowding out productivity, and it's crowding out the standards of living where do you want me to go from there." According to Art Berman in another Zero Hedge story, oil is quickly heading towards $16 a barrel - only problem is, oil that low will likely lead to an economic bloodbath. We're also told 'normal is over'.: "Continued oil prices of $30 per barrel or less are the only reasonable path to higher growth and a balanced oil market," Berman contends, adding that he expects $16.50/bbl - "I think we're gonna get there." Berman concludes ominously, we're not going 'back' to anything - "Normal is over, and there is no new normal yet." Berman also tells us: In the first half of 2016 there will be a wave of shale operator bankruptcies and defaults on bond payments, a collapse in the high yield bond market which could spill over into other markets, as well as further distress in the banking industry - “will be a bloodbath.” Since the 'assassination' of Justice Antonin Scalia, most likely via the NDAA's 'legal kill clause', we get an update from SHTFPlan on 'the dead list', who our secret govt plans on targeting next with the US empire rapidly collapsing. Telling us the United States has been taken over, with the last remnants of freedom and liberty now being taken away, we're also reminded this government has an 'enemies list' and it's quite likely being 'executed' as we write this. The United States has been taken over – and the last vestiges of freedom are being destroyed and undone. If they succeed, future generations won’t even remember this time, or the liberties and recognized rights that were once enjoyed, and fought for in blood. Justice Scalia was just the latest of targeted and politically motivated deaths that have taken place during the Obama Administration, and virtually everyone is raising questions about the suspicious details surrounding his death, including the lack of autopsy or official investigation into the possible causes of death. The motive is simple: subversion of the laws and rights of this country. Obama is likely enough to get a third Supreme Court appointment, in spite of the opposition. If he doesn’t, Hillary might. Regardless, an effort that has already been well underway is coming to a head. And there is no reasonable doubt that a larger-than-Nixon enemies list exists, and is being executed. Showing us once more why they're one of our favorite websites on the net, SHTFPlan and Mac Slavo also gave us "95 Survival Tips For When the SHTF", a couple of 'quick barrage' videos that pile massive amounts of info into a few minutes of video that could save our lives. As we learn in the 1st video featuring David Morgan, with the US empire in collapse mode, it's time for solutions and at ANP, we agree completely. There are always survivors through any collapse and as Slavo shows us in the story linked above, the sooner we prepare for whatever SHTF scenario that might be coming at us, the better off we are. Of course, here in America, one of the great concerns should always be seen as food. Long-term survival food will help us weather almost any economic storm, whether a cyber-attack upon our banking system that shuts down banks for several days or longer or a total economic collapse which leaves store shelves empty and Americans stomach's empty, food has always held its value. As Morgan tells us here, with the empire nearly in freefall mode, the time for more excuses is over. America and the world need answers and solutions. In the final video featuring Michael Snyder, we learn why World War 3 may be imminent as the red flags rage all around us. Warning that we've never been closer to nuclear war in most of our lifetimes, we're also told that why we should all be concerned: the events that we're witnessing towards this collapse have only just begun.

For Trump, Gold Is Better Than Cash

(By Randy Desoto)

Is gold better than cash? Donald Trump accepted three bars of it as a security deposit when a new tenant moved into his 40 Wall Street property in New York’s financial district. Michael Haynes, chief executive of APMEX, the tenant, convinced the real estate mogul that accepting gold offered the greatest security for him. “I figured, Trump is a smart guy, and he’ll realize that taking gold is a better idea than taking cash.” IMPORTANT NOTE: I published this article because several readers have asked me what does Presidential candidate Donald Trump think of gold. I found this article interesting as Trump took three gold bars as a security payment for leased business space from an executive at APMEX. I do not promote any candidate either Democrat or Republican. Also, the ads you see on my site are Google Ads. They change based on each individuals internet usage and searches. I have NO CONTROL over the ads on the site…YOU DO. However, without the revenue from the Google Ads, I could not continue the SRSrocco Report site. Haynes gave Trump three 32 ounce gold bars for APMEX’s deposit, valued at over $100,000. At the time, Trump expressed concern about the nation’s currency. “It’s a sad day when a large property owner starts accepting gold instead of the dollar,” Mr. Trump told the Wall Street Journal. “The economy is bad, and Obama’s not protecting the dollar at all….If I do this, other people are going to start doing it, and maybe we’ll see some changes,” the businessman added at the time. “Trump recognizes the vulnerability of the value of the dollar over time and the inflationary pressures on our economy due to Obama administration policies,” Peter Reagan, financial market strategist at precious metals dealer Birch Gold Group, said. Could Trump’s acceptance of gold as currency be a glimpse into what a potential President Trump would do? And furthermore, could a gold backed currency be a centerfold for his economic policy this election? Looking at recent history suggests that Trump could indeed put forward a bold, gold-backed economic policy proposal. Until 1971, the U.S. dollar was backed by gold. Foreign nations knew they could always bank on its value being based not only on the full faith and credit of the United States government, but on a commodity that has had an intrinsic value through the ages. The dollar is a “fiat” currency based entirely on faith those trading in it have in the United States government. Trump and many others see much to be concerned about on that front. The National Debt, over $18 trillion, now exceeds the total Gross Domestic Product of the United States. Because of the country’s fiscal outlook, Standard and Poor’s downgraded the U.S. credit rating for the first time in the history of the agency. Additionally, the Federal Reserve has monetized much of the deficit spending of the last several years, “printing money out of thin air” to the tune of trillions since 2008 to help pay for the nation’s shortfall. Faith in the dollar can change rapidly as was seen in recent years, when it fluctuated significantly against foreign currencies, seeing a major decline in 2011, with several ups and downs since.

Alternate Reality? Central Banks Consider The 'Nuclear Option' As The 'Gathering Storm' Prepares To Unleash Upon The World

March 7, 2016 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

On March 4, 2016 it was reported that Barack Obama said that the U.S. economy is "pretty darn great right now," and those saying the economy is bad is living in an "alternate reality," and engaging in "fantasy." The Bank of International Settlements (BIS), known as the central bank of all central banks recently warned that the uneasy calm of previous months had given way to turbulence and a "gathering storm." "We may not be seeing isolated bolts from the blue, but the signs of a gathering storm that has been building for a long time,” BIS chief Claudio Borio warned. The concluding paragraph from the BIS March 6, 2016 release states "Underlying some of the turbulence of the past few months was a growing perception in financial markets that central banks might be running out of effective policy options. Markets pushed out further into the future their expectations of a resumption of gradual normalisation by the Fed. And as the BoJ and ECB signalled their willingness to extend accommodation, markets showed greater concerns about the unintended consequences of negative policy rates. In the background, growth remained disappointing and inflation stubbornly below targets. Markets had seemingly become uncertain of the backstop that had been supporting asset valuations for years. With other policies not taking up the baton following the financial crisis, the burden on central banks has been steadily growing, making their task increasingly challenging." We have to ask Obama is the BIS is also living in an "alternate reality?" Financial Times and The Week are reporting that banks are becoming so desperate they are floating the idea of "Helicopter Money," which refers to the "the nuclear option of monetary policy." Via The Week: It might soon start raining cash, said David Oakley at the Financial Times. With the global economy slowing dramatically and few signs of a turnaround on the horizon, a radical proposal has been gathering steam in central banks around the world: Print money and give it directly to the public in order to boost spending and growth. The concept of "helicopter money" was coined several decades ago by the late economist Milton Friedman, who likened it to stimulus by means of dropping cash from the sky. Advocates of the policy argue that central banks have largely exhausted their options for stimulating growth — namely, quantitative easing and extremely low interest rates — and that desperate times call for desperate measures. Central banks in Japan and Europe, they point out, have already taken the once unthinkable step of slashing interest rates below zero. But helicopter money is arguably an even more extreme solution to stagnant growth — "the nuclear option of monetary policy." "Is this an idea whose time has come, or is it just monetary voodoo?" asked Jeremy Warner at The Daily Telegraph. Billionaire Ray Dalio, founder of the world's biggest hedge fund, is among the cheerleaders. He argued last month that helicopter money will boost consumer spending by injecting money "directly into the veins of the real economy." But count me among the unbelievers. In all likelihood, the positive effects of a one-off gift would wear off without addressing "any of the underlying causes of today's economic torpor." Central banks would also be tempted to keep printing cash for more drops, a kind of permanent "Christmas bonus" that would lead people to question the value of their money. "Much as we would all like to believe in the free lunch, there is, regrettably, no such thing." We need to ask Obama if having to consider the "nuclear option of monetary policy," out of "desperation" indicates that the economy is "pretty darn great?" Moody’s Investors Service recently reported the tally of the least-creditworthy companies rose by 10 to 274 this month, pushing it nearer to April 2009’s record 291. (Source- WSJ) The U.S. economy is growing, but at a muted pace, and choppy credit markets are limiting financing for companies perceived as risky. And a collapse in the prices of oil, gas, coal and other commodities has energy and mining companies on the ropes. Is Moody's perpetuating "fantasy" as well Mr. Obama?

“Freedom Always Dies Bit by Bit”: Bundesbank Takes Sides in War on Cash

by Don Quijones • March 6, 2016

“Citizens should not be put under general suspicion.”

By Don Quijones, Spain & Mexico, editor at WOLF STREET.

There are two sides in the global war against cash. On one side are many of the world’s governments, central banks, fintech firms, banks, credit card companies, telecommunication behemoths, financial institutions, large retailers, etc. According to them, the days of physical currency are numbered, so why not pull the plug already, beginning with the largest denomination bills such as the $100-note and particularly the €500-note? On the other side are people who like to use cash – most of whom, according to the dominant official narrative, are either criminals or terrorists. After all, they must have something to hide; otherwise, why would they use a private, untraceable (not to mention archaic, dirty, dangerous and unhygienic) form of payment like cash? The powers that want to kill off cash already have vital technological and generational trends firmly on their side, along with widespread public ignorance, apathy, and disinterest. But in recent weeks the unlikeliest of defenders of physical money has emerged: the national central bank of Europe’s biggest economy, the German Bundesbank. “I have my doubts that introducing a cash limit or getting rid of bigger denominations can really prevent terrorists or criminals from engaging in illegal activities,” Carl-Ludwig Thiele, Bundesbank board member in charge of cash issues, said in a speech last week. “We also should ask ourselves: what sort of an understanding of government forms the basis of these proposals? Citizens should not be put under general suspicion.” Thiele is not the first Bundesbank official to publicly defend cash. Bundesbank president Jens Weidmann warned in the Bundesbank’s annual report that killing off higher denomination banknotes, a policy supported by ECB President Mario Draghi, could have a debilitating effect on trust in cash in general and would be “disastrous” if people started to believe cash would be abolished — an oblique reference to the risk of negative interest rates and the escalating war on cash triggering a run on cash.

Bundesbank president Jens Weidmann warned in the Bundesbank’s annual report that killing off higher denomination banknotes, a policy supported by ECB President Mario Draghi, could have a debilitating effect on trust in cash in general and would be “disastrous” if people started to believe cash would be abolished — an oblique reference to the risk of negative interest rates and the escalating war on cash triggering a run on cash. Gold-Bust-2 The Wall Street Journal accused Weidmann of simply talking his book: The European Central Bank no longer produces figures on where high denomination banknotes are issued, but from the onset of the Eurozone in 1999 to the end of 2009, Germany issued almost half of all €200 and €500 bills over the decade. When a central bank issues physical currency, it gains seigniorage income. It makes loans or buys securities that do bear interest while issuing euro banknotes that don’t, so it makes a profit over time… In the ECB, seigniorage is pooled, but as the largest in the bloc, the Bundesbank gets the biggest chunk of that income. Whatever the Bundesbank’s motives, its opposition to euthanizing physical currency could end up proving to be a very sizable thorn in cash’s would-be assassins’ hide. Thiele, relentlessly in his speech: “Quite prominent economists, such as the former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, Kenneth Rogoff, have called to abolish cash for monetary policy purposes, so that banks could enforce negative interest across the board.” “This would, in my view, be the wrong response to the monetary policy challenges at the zero lower bound. Instead of financial repression it would make much more sense to discuss how economies could achieve stronger growth again through higher interest rates.” In its own study on the use of cash, prominently featured on its homepage today, the Bundesbank found that despite all the media hype over the demise of cash, physical currencies still remain king across many advanced economies. In the study more than 18,500 consumers in Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States kept a written record of what payment methods they used. Turns out, consumers still frequently opt for cash at the point of sale, in some countries more so than others. The report included this chart: In terms of volume, cash accounted for more than 50% of payment transactions in all of these countries, with the exception of the US. In Germany (DE) and Austria (AT) over 80% of cash transactions were made using cash. In both countries, cash payments also dominated in value. A separate study by the Association of German Banks found that even among millennials, two-thirds prefer paying in cash to electronic means. What’s crucial isn’t so much the numbers but the very fact that the Bundesbank publishes this type of report so prominently, and in English so that everyone can read it. It’s an obvious part of its campaign to keep cash-in-fist alive as a choice. And in Germany and Austria, the EU’s plans to suppress cash have already provoked a backlash. “We don’t want someone to be able to track digitally what we buy, eat and drink, what books we read and what movies we watch,” said Austrian Deputy Economy Minister Harald Mahreron on Oe1 radio. “We will fight everywhere against rules” including caps on cash purchases, he said. Germany’s big tabloid The Bild published a scathing open letter titled, “Hands Off Our Cash,” while a broad spectrum of political parties condemned the proposed measures as an attack on data protection and privacy. The fact that Europe’s most powerful national central bank is now firmly aligned with the defenders of physical cash could be a vital game changer in the war against cash. The Bundesbank seems to see the war on cash as a war on personal freedom and choice, in the name of saving a financial system and its absurd negative interest rates: “We want citizens to be able to pay in whatever form they desire. Especially in Germany, cash is part of that,” said Thiele. And he warned that “freedom always dies bit by bit.” Few countries know that better than Germany. By Don Quijones, Raging Bull-Shit. Bundesbank President Weidmann had put it this way a couple of weeks ago: “It would be fatal if citizens got the impression that cash is gradually taken away from them.” Read… As War on Cash Escalates, Cash Lovers Fight Back.

Turkey shelling Syrian Kurdish militia in northern Aleppo - YPG

Published time: 7 Mar, 2016 15:46 Edited time: 7 Mar, 2016 16:26

Turkey has been shelling Kurdish forces in Syria’s northern province of Aleppo, Syrian Kurdish militia, YPG, said. Several YPG members were wounded as Turkish shells hit the town of Tel Rifaat on Monday, Redur Xelilm YPG official, told Reuters. Earlier this week, the Russian Defense Ministry chided Turkey for ceasefire violations in the Syrian provinces of Aleppo and Idlib. Ankara continues to shell Kurdish forces in Syria, hampering their operations against Al-Nusra terrorists, and at the same time funneling supplies to militant-controlled areas around the border, the ministry said. Earlier on Monday, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov urged the international community to react to the shelling of the Kurds by Turkish forces. "We’re constantly raising these issues. They are already being discussed in Geneva, and in individual cooperation formats under the aegis of the UN," Bogdanov said. On Monday, the Russian Defense Ministry also said that Al-Nusra jihadists in Syria shelled Turkish territory on Sunday. The militants aimed to provoke the Turkish military to return fire and bring troops into Syria, which will inevitably lead to disruption of the peace process in the country, the ministry said in a statement.

'Everything Could Change In One Moment' - North Korean Nuclear Threat Over US-South Korean 'Foal Eagle' Military Drills Simulating Collapse Of Kim Jong-Un's Regime May Be Much More Than It Appears To Be

March 7, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

On Sunday, we learned that North Korea has threatened to launch 'indiscriminate and pre-emptive' nuclear strikes upon America and South Korea, the umpteenth time that the North Korean dictator has threatened to launch attacks against our country, this time in response to the largest military drills ever between South Korean and US troops in Kim Jong-Un's backyard. The drills between the US and South Korea have been designed to simulate the collapse of the North Korean dictators regime and the resulting chaos that would quickly unfold there. While the 'Key Resolve' and 'Foal Eagle' military drills will last from March 7th to April 30th, the North Korean dictators latest threat comes just days after he ordered his nuclear weapons to be on standby for 'use at any moment' after tough new UN sanctions were imposed upon his country after their 4th nuclear test in January and the following months launch of a long-range rocket and satellite...which should really be what concerns us more. This is not the 1st time that the North Korean dictator has 'freaked out' about US-South Korean drills as shared in this story from Business Insider telling us about the 2015 drills of the same name. While North Korea then threatened the US and South Korea with a 'merciless baptism by fire', it merely responded with several SCUD missile launches into the sea on both March 2nd and March 12th of 2015. Why might 2016 be different? Even though some experts say that North Korea would never be able to successfully accomplish a nuclear attack upon America due to inadequate weaponry to deliver the strikes, we'll prove here that 'conventional nuclear strikes' probably aren't the only kinds of attack that America and our military should be prepared for as only one thing would allow North Korea to be able to accomplish their previously stated goal of 'wiping out all of America at once.' Back in January, Breitbart ran a story in which they told us that North Korea's state media outlet boasted that its nations scientists were in 'high spirits' to detonate nuclear weapons 'capable of destroying America all at once'. Their bold statement was made a week after they said they had 'successfully' tested a hydrogen bomb, though "nuclear experts have posited it was more likely to have been a weaker hybrid atomic weapon." However, as we told you also back in January on a story called 'The Problem From Hell': 'Doomsday' Passes Over America Several Times Almost Every Day - Experts Warn: 'There's Nothing We Can Do To Stop It,' what most people think of as a 'traditional nuclear bomb' would never be able to accomplish the North Koreans goal of 'destroying America all at once' as they claimed they'd be able to do. While most traditional nukes could cause massive devastation upon one city as well as our nations economy and psyche, only an EMP attack would allow the North Koreans to accomplish their stated goal of 'destroying America all at once'. As we also told you in the 'Problem From Hell' story, North Korea does have the capability to launch an EMP attack upon America via one of two satellites that flies over America several times every day...and as previously warned, experts say there is very little to nothing that we can do to stop them. According to Dr. Peter Vincent Pry, the H-bomb recently detonated in a test by North Korea fits well within the requirements of a 'Super EMP', a device that could nearly instantly send America back hundreds of years and wipe out our electrical grid over a huge portion of the country according to the Washington Examiner. In fact, according to Pry, the US is not only totally defenseless against such an attack but North Korea has practiced such EMP attacks against America already. Dr. Pry previously served on the 'Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse Attack' and his warning to us helps to explain much of the mystery that has surrounded this latest North Korean nuclear test that some experts said was nowhere near powerful enough to have been a hydrogen bomb test. We learn here of a 'different kind' of hydrogen bomb that would indeed have such a 'low yield' as was detected. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has threatened a 'merciless sacred war' against its enemies and as we learn here, a 'Super EMP' weapon would be much more dangerous to the United States than the most powerful H-bomb ever built due to its potential to kill off 90% of the US population - the masses dead through starvation and the collapse of society. Forget a massive bomb that could completely destroy cities; this one could be far more devastating to America. So now we know...a 'Super EMP', which North Korea has the capability to deliver, would be far more dangerous to the US than the most powerful hydrogen bomb ever built. While of course, any nuclear weapons attack upon a US city would be enough to allow a total lockdown of our nation, it wouldn't be able to destroy the whole country in 'one fell swoop' as an EMP attack upon us would. While North Korea's nuclear alert has been mainly discounted as 'talk' as shared by Gary Franchi of the Next News Network in the 3rd video below, nonetheless Barack Obama has issued a warning to the NK leader as Franchi shares in the 4th video below. The 2nd video below is a report from a mainstream news media source on the North Korean dictators latest nuclear threats against America while in the 1st video below from Prepper Recon, we hear what Americans should be preparing for the most...an EMP strike that would leave our country w/o electricity for a potentially very long time and hundreds of millions of dead Americans in the aftermath. As our videographer tells us, the best time to prepare for such an event is now. As Susan Duclos told us in this previous story, there are ways to go about preparing for an EMP strike that could leave up to 90% of the country dead within the following year to 18 months with possibly millions dead in the first month alone. We welcome you to leave any advice that you might have in the comment section below. In closing, we take a look at what may be unfolding prophecy with 'Foal Eagle' now beginning after threats made by the North Korean leader to 'annihilate the enemies and reduce their bases of provocation to seas in flames and ashes' if there is even 'the slightest military action'. As Steve Quayle recently pointed out in several stories he linked to on his website this morning, 13 dead bald eagles were recently found in the state of Maryland. Asking his readers to look up all of the eagle prophecies and the timing of this event, we have to ask, is the 'Eagle' about to be 'shot down' as it was by Barack Obama in a dream shared in this linked story from Prophecy Club? Does the eagle in that dream stand for 'America'? While many believe the North Korean leader would have to be out of his mind to launch such an attack upon America that would likely result in the complete destruction of his own nation after the US responded, many believe Jong-Un may just be 'out of his mind' enough to do such a thing.

World War III Could Be Over By This Spring

There is an 800 pound Gorilla in the room and it is not Donald Trump and the GOP Primary. World War III has never been closer. The situation is more dire than at anytime during the Cold War, except for the Cuban Missile Crissi and this situation in Asia may be worse. Australia is on alert as is New Zealand. Both countries along with 12 signatories to the TPP are about ready to be cut off and vulnerable to Chinese attack. And in this article, we are only speaking about Asia, I will cover Europe and the Middle East tomorrow. South Korea is committing over 260,000 troops to the upcoming March 7th “war game”. North Korea has promised retaliatory action if the drill is carried out. In response, North Korea has placed some of its ground troops on leave in order to conserve resources to maintain the instant readiness alert that North Korea has placed its nuclear arsenal on. The number of nuclear missiles possessed by North Korea to consist of an estimated 10-16 missiles. Unfortunately, the does not count any tactical nukes supplied by China. Steve Quayle Receives a Dire Warning From a Former High Ranking US Military Source On March 2, 2016, Steve Quayle was contacted by a retired Brigadier General who offered the following observations regarding the coming war:

1· Last only 2-3 weeks.

2· Be a high-level conflict where more people will die than in all previous wars combined.

3· See the general US population targeted (and stunned) at the devastation.

4· Affect everyone—not just those in uniform.

5· Decimate the economy. Those not killed directly will struggle to survive post-hostilities.

6· Destroy the status quo and usher in a new order.

7· Make manifest that God is no longer on our side. We chose to abandon Him, so He honored our free will. My Insider Source Account From the Fall of 2015 Late last fall I wrote about two military exercises to be conducted in South Korea involving a record number, over 300,000 troops consisting of American and South Korean military personnel in exercises known as ‘Foal Eagle’ and ‘Key Resolve’. Each exercise takes place for several weeks. At that same time, I also received word about the military exercises, I also received a report somewhat similar to Steve Quayle’s source, but with some time frame and grouping differences. My source sees the coming conflict as starting out as regional in nature. China, will use it rogue puppet state, North Korea, to commence conflict in Asia. The scenario, that was being practiced, in secret, was based upon the following: North Korea’s nuclear weapons will not be used against the South, unless, China has supplied North Korea with tactical battlefield nukes, which is likely. The North Korean nukes will be utilized if the U.S. tries to intervene with North Korea’s invasion of the South. For example, the US has moved a carrier task force into the area, they will surely be targeted with nukes. There is some expectation that tactical nukes will be used against US forces located at the DMZ, since they are armed with the same. The progress of the invasion of South Korea will not be as important as to what happens next. The Chinese will use their newly constructed military islands and their navy build up to to block all shipping in the South China Sea. It will cut off Australia and New Zealand. It will also immediately isolate Taiwan from the South, which is China’s real goal. China desperately wants to attack Taiwan and I have previously written an article which addressed this point based upon this scenario. For those who don’t understand why China and Taiwan are at odds, it goes back to 1948, when Chinese communist forces, led by Mao Zedong, ousted the Chinese government under Chiang Kai Shek. The original Chinese regime fled to the Island of Formosa, now called Taiwan. Mainland China has always viewed Taiwan as a rogue state that actually belongs to the communist Chinese. Taiwan has emerged as America’s seventh most significant trading partner. An economically health Taiwan is essential to what is left of the U.S. economy. Ignoring the long-term significance of Taiwan in the South China Sea controversy is like ignoring the 800 pound gorilla in the room. Taiwan will be instantly attacked by China. The US does not have the size of force necessary to fight a two front war in both Korea and on Taiwan. Who will they choose to defend? This might be a moot question because it could be over before we can act on our decision. It should be noted that I have previously documented five months ago, based upon this intelligence, that much of China’s military is developing EMP weapons that the Chinese plan to use against targeted U.S. aircraft carriers with regard to any future conflict over Taiwan. Parts of the National Ground Intelligence Center study on the lethal effects of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) and high-powered microwave (HPM) weapons revealed that the arms are part of what China refers to as the “assassin’s mace”. This arsenal of EMP weapons allows a technologically inferior China to defeat U.S. military forces while leaving much of the surrounding infrastructure intact. The report further states “ For use against Taiwan, China could detonate at a much lower altitude (30 to 40 kilometers) … to confine the EMP effects to Taiwan and its immediate vicinity and minimize damage to electronics on the mainland.” And if I am incorrect about China being willing to go to war over the implementation of the TPP in their backyard, then why is the globalist mouthpiece,The Brookings Institute calling for China to join the TPP? If the U.S is forced to go nuclear, Korea, armed with Chinese EMP weapons could likely attack the US power grid. This is something that I have previously documented on November 5, 2015, extensively, based upon receiving this intelligence. A declassified intelligence report, obtained by the private National Security Archive, provides details on China’s EMP weapons as well as the plans for their use. the situation is even more dire if these weapons are turned upon the American mainland. I was provided documentation which showed that China is preparing EMP weapons which will attack humans. The results of the mammal directed EMP test results produced eye, brain, bone marrow and other significant organ injuries. It stated that “it is clear the real purpose of the Chinese medical experiments is to learn the potential human effects of exposure to powerful EMP and high-powered microwave radiation.” The report also concluded that these human based EMP tests may have been conducted to determine safety or shielding standards for military personnel or weapons. My sources tell me that Chinese plans for nuclear EMP strikes against the United States are part of Chinese military doctrine and there is also evidence that China has already developed a set of super-EMP nuclear weapons that produce powerful EMP fields, but with EMP related effects that can be contained to specific geographic locations. There is no doubt that the Chinese are perfecting task-specific EMP weapons to a degree that is now known outside of classified circles. I will cover this aspect tomorrow as a Part Two. Suffice it to say that when North Korea makes its move, it was predicted by some military that Russia, on the heels of the North Korean actions, Russia will make near simultaneous move in either Eastern Europe (Ukraine) or the Middle East (Turkey). This is the part that sent chills up my spine. I was asked to not release the entire sequencing of this scenario until March 7 which is what I am doing. I was allowed to report on the South Korean war games and the developments in the South China Sea which could serve as the catalyst. There is a strong belief that NATO will launch a first strike against North Korea and Russia. There is one part of this scenario that did not come to fruition as predicted. It was thought before North Korea would attack the South that the Chinese would launch a massive dump of US debt and treasuries. This would have led to a massive breakdown of of Point of Sale transactions, coupled with a cyber attack upon the US banking system, this would result in absolute chaos and major loss of life because there would be nothing left to collateralize the expense of covering these transactions. I am shocked that this has not happened, but it still could at a moments notice. In my estimation, if China feels that the US is going launch a preemptive strike against North Korea, they will move to destroy the US economy from which the effects would be realized within 48 hours inside of the United States. The US will be left in ruins and will be carved up by occupation forces already on American soil. After the Great American Plunder, the US will find itself under new management. It is interesting to note that last year, the Chinese hacked the records of 21 million US veterans. There could be no other purpose other than the US will be occupied in a brutal fashion and all possible resistance from veterans must quickly be eliminated. Chinese Solar Energy Zones Speaks to the Occupation of the United States-The BLM As a Foreign Policy Instrument I became very suspicious of the Chinese Solar Energy Zones when I discovered that they were adjacent to major military bases. For example, the planned Solar Energy Zone on the Bundy Ranch is located near Nellis AFB. The same is true as these Solar Energy Zones in Arizona which are located adjacent to Luke AFB flight operations. I believe that there can be no doubt that these Chinese Solar Energy Zones are being strategically placed, through the efforts of Senator Harry Reid, adjacent to major American defense installations in order to neutralize their military operations when the time is right. The neutralization element will consist of a localized EMP weapon. These suspicions are further enhanced as the Bundy’s were reporting the presence of Chinese soldiers on their ranch. Chinese solar energy zones makes a lot of sense. If one was going to take the grid down through an EMP attack, alternative energy source would prove invaluable in the aftermath if military occupation is a goal. Conclusion Previously, it has been documented on this site that Hillary Clinton, through Uranium One, has been participating in what I call the Great American Plunder. As previously documented she has been the beneficiary of uranium extraction, sold to our enemies, the Russian, for the purpose of raising funds for her Presidential campaign. It is likely that she will be elected President, if we make it to the election. If not, look for Obama to never leave office. If World War III is over by this Spring, Obama will lead the American version of the French VICHY colloborative government. It is then that Americans will learn the true meaning of FEMA camps.

China Alarmed as 305,000 US, S Korean Troops Launch Largest-Ever Drills

Mark Schiefelbein Asia & Pacific 13:01 07.03.2016(updated 13:49 07.03.2016)

China is very concerned about the military drills between South Korea and the United States, believed to be the largest-ever joint exercises of the two countries amid increased tensions on the Korean Peninsula, according to China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei.

BEIJING (Sputnik) – China is seriously concerned about the joint military exercises of the United States and South Korea, China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Monday. Military drills between South Korea and the United States, believed to be the largest-ever joint exercises of the two countries amid increased tensions on the Korean Peninsula, kicked off earlier in the day. "China is also very concerned about the military drills. We will not accept any trouble-making behavior at our doorstep," Hong told reporters. Key Resolve and Foal Eagle, two joint US-South Korean military exercises on dispatching the US overseas forces to the Korean Peninsula, presuppose practicing the elimination of Pyongyang's weapons of mass destruction. As many as 15,000 US servicemen joined around 290,000 South Korean soldiers in the drills expected to last until April 30. In 2015, Washington sent four times fewer troops than now, while the number of Seoul soldiers is now 1.5 times higher.

Russian Subs Are Reheating a Cold War Chokepoint

As the GIUK gap returns to importance, NATO must look to regenerate its anti-submarine forces.

The recent U.S. promise to fund upgrades to Iceland’s military airfield at Keflavik is no diplomatic bone thrown to a small ally. The improvements will allow the U.S. Navy’s new P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft to keep an eye on Russia’s increasingly active and capable submarine force in a region whose importance is rising with the tensions between Moscow and the West. In short, the Greenland-Iceland-UK gap is back. During the Cold War, the maritime choke points between Greenland, Iceland, and the UK were key to the defense of Europe. This “GIUK gap” represented the line that Soviet naval forces had to cross in order to reach the Atlantic and stop U.S. forces heading across the sea to reinforce America’s European allies. It was also the area that the Soviet Union’s submarine-based nuclear forces would have to pass as they deployed for their nuclear strike missions. In response, the United States and its northern NATO allies spent considerable time, money, and effort on bolstering anti-submarine warfare capabilities and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance in the region. Maritime patrol aircraft from the UK, Norway, and the U.S.(Navy P-3s, flying from Keflavik) covered the area from above, while nuclear and conventional submarines lurked below the surface. The choke points were also monitored by an advanced network of underwater sensors installed to detect and track Soviet submarines. But after the Cold War ended, the GIUK gap disappeared from NATO’s maritime mind. U.S. forces left Iceland in 2006, and the UK, facing budget pressures, retired its fleet of maritime patrol aircraft fleet in 2010. (The Netherlands did the same in 2003.) Anti-submarine warfare and the North Atlantic were hardly priorities for an Alliance embroiled in peacekeeping, counter-insurgency, and fighting pirates in far-flung Bosnia, Afghanistan, and the Horn of Africa. But the term “GIUK gap” is now heard again in NATO circles (and sometimes as GIUK-N gap, to signify the inclusion of the maritime domain around Norway), as it becomes increasingly apparent that Russia is pouring money into its naval forces in general, and its submarine fleet in particular. Moscow is introducing new classes of conventional and nuclear attack submarines, among them the Yasen class and the Kalina class, the latter of which is thought to include air-independent propulsion. AIP, which considerably reduces the noise level of conventional submarines, was until recently seen only in Western navies’ most capable conventional subs. Much of Russia’s investment in its submarine force has been focused on its Northern Fleet, which is based in Murmansk and intended for operations in and around the Arctic, as well as the Atlantic. The Northern Fleet is also the home of Russia’s submarine-based nuclear deterrent. Russia is believed to be putting these new sub-surface capabilities to the test. The UK, Sweden, and Finland have all launched recent hunts for suspected Russian submarines deep in their territorial waters. Russia has also showed off its new ability to launch land-attack cruise missiles from its submarines; late last year, a sub in the Mediterranean fired Kalibr missiles against targets in Syria. Russia’s growing sub-surface capabilities are coupled with an apparent political will to use them. Its recently revised maritime strategy emphasizes operations in the Arctic, along with the need for Russian maritime forces to have access to the broader Atlantic Ocean. And that access will have to be, just as during the Cold War, through the GIUK gap. Now the United States is pivoting back to the region; witness the Obama administration’s recent announcement that it intends to spend part of the proposed 2017 European Reassurance Initiative budget on upgrading facilities at Keflavik. And the U.S. is not alone. Britain recently announced that it will seek to rebuild its maritime patrol aircraft fleet, probably by buying P-8s from Boeing. Norway is also considering its options for the future of its maritime patrol aircraft, and is also looking to buy a new class of submarines. Norway also recently upgraded its signal intelligence ship with new U.S. sensors, and the ship is primarily intended for operations in the vast maritime spaces of the High North. The emerging challenge in the North Atlantic should also drive NATO and its members to look hard at regenerating the ability to conduct anti-submarine warfare against a potent adversary. European nations should also take a hard look at its aging maritime patrol aircraft fleet and think about its future. The UK and the Netherlands are not the only countries who let their MPA fleets slip after the end of the Cold War. While current U.S. and NATO efforts at deterring further Russian aggression may be most visible through ground force deployments, exercises, and pre-positioned equipment in Europe’s east, a mostly unseen contest is also emerging in the North Atlantic. The GIUK gap is back.

Muslims In Brooklyn Take Over City Street With ‘Prayer Service’ In Show Of Force And Intimidation

The real question you need to be asking is not why are Muslims praying, why are the praying on a public sidewalk, shutting the entire street down in the process? Isn't that what their mosques are for, to assemble in large groups and pray to their god? Why is this being done in large numbers outside?

by Geoffrey Grider

Muslims take to the streets to spread fear and intimidation This shocking video, shot on March 3rd of this year, shows you how much Muslims love to intimidate non-Muslims. Thousands sitting and kneeling on a public Brooklyn street, bowing their heads repetitively as the announcer drones the few words over and over again. “A-laaa-hu-akbar…A-laaa-hu-akbar”. Just coincidentally, I am sure, this is the exact same phrase that Muslim terrorists scream out before committing acts of mass terrorism. The real question you need to be asking is not why are Muslims praying, why are the praying on a public sidewalk, shutting the entire street down in the process? Isn’t that what their mosques are for, to assemble in large groups and pray to their god? Why is this being done in large numbers outside? Last year, a huge group of Muslims took over another sidewalk out front of a movie theater, making it impossible for anyone to get past or to enter in to any of the stores they were blocking. Also last year, in Los Angeles, hundreds of Muslims simply commandeered the street to ‘pray” to their god as you will see in the video below. After 27,939 Islamist terror attacks since 9/11, Muslims know exactly how non-Muslims feel when they hear the words ‘Allahu Akbar’ being chanted on a public street. And that’s exactly why they do it. They are telling us, in no uncertain terms, that the street they are holding their ‘prayer services’ on are being claimed for their god Allah. They chant ‘Allahu Akbar’ over and over again to let you know that more terror attacks, many more, are in the pipeline and will be arriving soon. They don’t hold these meetings in rented spaces like a park or arena, they do it on a public sidewalk so the locals will have no choice but to be exposed to it. They want you to hear it, they want you to see it, they want you to be afraid.

13 Bald Eagles Found Dead at Maryland Farm

by Connor Mannion Feb 22 2016, 5:23 pm ET

Thirteen bald eagles were found dead at a Maryland-area farm over the weekend and federal authorities are currently investigating, and offering a reward for any information. The Maryland Natural Resources Police (NRP) were first called to the scene on Saturday afternoon after a man discovered four dead bald eagles on a farm in Maryland's Eastern Shore region, according to NRP spokeswoman Candy Thomson. "Our officers searched the area around the farm and in total we found 13 bald eagles, three were mature, two were in the process of maturing and the rest were immature." Thomson said. Bald eagles are considered fully mature once they sport the signature white feathered head, as opposed to the immature eagles which have feathers that are color-consistent. The cause of death is still unknown, but there was no outward sign of trauma, Thompson said. A possible reason for the die-off, she said, is that the eagles could have consumed poisoned animal carcasses. "What happens is that when farms have rodent problems, landowners will put out poison to control it, and the eagles will eat the poisoned animals," Thomson said. Also unusual is that this is the largest single die-off of bald eagles in Maryland in 30 years. The NRP were in the process of searching their records and had not seen anything matching this die-off event. According to Thomson, the eagles have been tagged "and the investigation is being handed over to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service." The agency has a facility in Oregon where they will perform the necropsies. "The people in this lab do amazing work ... they've pulled feathers from the birds who bring down planes and they can tell what they had for breakfast," Thompson said. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced Monday that a reward of $10,000 is being offered for information relating to the deaths of the avian symbol of America. That was up from an earlier offer by Baltimore County of $2,500. Groups contributing to the reward include the Human Wildlife Land Trust, the Human Society of the United States, the Phoenix Wildlife Center of Baltimore County and the Fish and Wildlife Service, office said. While American bald eagles are no longer endangered, they are considered a protected species under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, officials noted. Maximum fines under those acts are $100,000 and $15,000 respectively, with possible imprisonment up to one year, the Fish and Wildlife Service said. Anyone with information on the dead eagles is urged to call the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Office of Law Enforcement in Cambridge, Maryland, at 410-228-2476, or the Maryland Natural Resources Police Hotline at 800-628-9944.

Unusual event’: Oconee nuclear reactor shut down after transformer explosion & fire

Published time: 7 Mar, 2016 01:02 Edited time: 7 Mar, 2016 02:37

One of the reactors at the Oconee Nuclear Station has been shut down after a series of explosions and a fire damaged a transformed on site. The operator declared the incident “unusual” but emphasized there was no threat of radiation release. Emergency crews deployed at the scene have managed to contain the fire, and will remain at the scene to assist crews. Oconee Nuclear Station is a nuclear power plant located on Lake Keowee near Seneca, South Carolina. “Unit #1 was shut down as a precaution,” Oconee County Emergency Management said in a statement. “There is NO POTENTIAL FOR RELEASE.” The plant operator Duke Energy said that while “Unit 1 has been safely shutdown” the remaining “Units 2 and 3 continue to operate safely.” Officials blamed the “unusual event” on electrical equipment failure inside a transformer they say was located outside the building. Authorities urged the public stay away from the area as emergency personnel and Duke Energy staff work around the area. However they emphasized that there was no security risk that would require evacuations or traffic detours. The transformer malfunctioned and caught fire at 3:20pm local time, and the “unusual event” was upgraded to an “alert” – a second level of emergency – at 4:58pm, according to the company. Incidents falling to “alert” classification require outside interference from emergency services but pose “no threat to public safety,” the company explained. The 15-by-12 foot transformer had been burning for approximately 30 minutes before fire crews and Oconee County Fire units responded, WYFF4 reports. The intense flames and thick black smoke coming out of the transformer which was seen by many witnesses was reportedly due to the oil that was inside. The blaze was completely extinguished with the help of local fire brigades, and had “no impact” on plant employees or the facility’s neighbors, while customers are not expected to suffer any power outages. The operator announced it will be conducting a thorough investigation of the cause of the incident at an aging plant located on Lake Keowee that began operations in 1973. Oconee is one of the largest nuclear power plants in the US with a capacity of some 2,600 megawatts and is the second to have its operating license extended for an additional twenty years.

The FDA now officially belongs to Big Pharma

By Martha Rosenberg AlterNet

Excerpts: It is hard to believe only four senators opposed the confirmation of Robert Califf, who was approved [recently] as the next FDA commissioner. Califf, chancellor of clinical and translational research at Duke University until recently, received money from 23 drug companies including the giants like Johnson & Johnson, Lilly, Merck, Schering Plough and GSK according to a disclosure statement on the website of Duke Clinical Research Institute. Not merely receiving research funds, Califf also served as a high level Pharma officer, say press reports. Medscape, the medical website, discloses that Califf “served as a director, officer, partner, employee, advisor, consultant or trustee for Genentech.” Portola Pharmaceuticals says Califf served on its board of directors until leaving for the FDA. In disclosure information for a 2013 article in Circulation, Califf also lists financial links to Gambro, Regeneron, Gilead, AstraZeneca, Roche and other companies and equity positions in four medical companies. Gilead is the maker of the $1000-a-pill hepatitis C drug AlterNet recently wrote about. This is FDA commissioner material? Califf has gone on record that collaboration between industry and regulators is a good thing. He told NPR, “Many of us consult with the pharmaceutical industry, which I think is a very good thing. They need ideas and then the decision about what they do is really up to the person who is funding the study.” What? He is known for defending Vioxx which is reported to have caused at least 50,000 heart attacks and events before its withdrawal. (Merck is said to have known about Vioxx’ cardio effects but marketed the blockbuster drug anyway.) Califf was also Obama’s choice for FDA Commissioner. Califf’s confirmation amounts to a handover of the agency to Big Pharma.

Former DEA Agent Exposes US Government’s Role in Cocaine Epidemic

Mar 6, 2016

Were the CIA and the U.S. government responsible for devastating American communities by supporting drug traffickers? There is an epidemic of cocaine, heroin, and other drug use in America, and many other drugs are being shipped into the US in greater numbers than ever before. Are the United States government and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to blame for flooding American communities with cocaine in the 1970’s by covertly supporting the Latin American drug trade? Many retired employees of the CIA, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and police, in addition to numerous investigative journalists, believe this to be the truth, and that various U.S. government and CIA officials should be held accountable and even tried. A 25-year veteran of the DEA and author of the book, Triangle of Death, Michael Levine claims the CIA played a key role in allowing the trafficking of drugs, particularly cocaine, into the U.S. from Latin America. Acting as a deep undercover agent for many years of his life, Levine found through first-hand experience that the CIA knew that drugs were being smuggled onto the streets of U.S. cities but did nothing about it. He claims that the Agency even leaked undercover DEA operations to the drug cartels, as he explains in the video below. Other DEA agents have made similar claims. Former DEA head John Lawn, testified that Oliver North, Marine Corps lieutenant colonel who in the 1980’s served on the National Security Council staff at the White House, and other officials, “created a privatized contra network that attracted drug traffickers looking for cover for their operations, then turned a blind eye to repeated reports of drug smuggling related to the contras, and actively worked with known drug smugglers such as Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega.” Lawn swore under oath that North himself had prematurely leaked a DEA undercover operation, jeopardizing agents’ lives, for political advantage in an upcoming Congressional vote on aid to the contras. (Source) Oliver North, of course, denied any knowledge of the contras involvement in the drug trafficking trade. During the Iran-Contra Congressional Hearing in 1987, when allegations first began, North stated during his opening statement: “Some said I was second only in power to the President of the United States, and others that I condoned drug trafficking to generate funds for the contras, or that I personally ordered assassinations, or that I was conducting my own foreign policy. It has even been suggested that I was the personal confidant of the President of the United States. These, and many other stories, are patently untrue.” (Source) On the Fox News political program Hannity and Colmes, North reclaimed: “The fact is nobody in the government of the United States, going all the way back to the earliest days of this under Jimmy Carter, ever had anything to do with running drugs to support the Nicaraguan resistance. Nobody in the government of the United States. I will stand on that to my grave.” (Source) In the video, Levine refers to North’s diary, which was not presented in front of the Congressional Hearing. North’s diaries, e-mail, and memos were made public by the National Security Archive much later, in February 2004. The documents revealed: Mr. North’s diary entries, from the reporter’s notebooks he kept in those years, noting multiple reports of drug smuggling among the contras. A Washington Post investigation published on 22 October 1994 found no evidence he had relayed these reports to the DEA or other law enforcement authorities. Memos from North aide Robert Owen to Mr. North recounting drug-running “indiscretions” among the contras, warning that a known drug-smuggling airplane was delivering taxpayer-funded “humanitarian aid” overseen by Mr. North. Mr. North’s White House e-mails recounting his efforts to spring from prison a Honduran general who could “spill the beans” on the secret contra war, even though the Justice Department termed the Honduran a “narcoterrorist” for his involvement in cocaine smuggling and an assassination plot. Mr. North’s White House e-mails and diary entries on his personal meeting on 22 September 1986 with Noriega, following up Noriega’s offer to “take care of” the Sandinista leadership if the White House would help “clean up his image.” (Source) What is it about the government and its agents and employees that they can lie to us with impunity, but we risk being sent to jail if we lie to them? The presentation above also features Gary Webb, an investigative reporter for the San Jose Mercury News and author of Dark Alliance: The CIA, the Contras, and the Cocaine Explosion. Nearly a decade after the Iran-Contra Congressional Hearing, through a series of articles published in 1996, Webb created uproar in Southern California communities when he also alleged that the CIA had connections to a drug ring reaching into California. In his published works, Webb alleged that the CIA and many U.S. government officials, including Oliver North, were fully aware that the contras were funneling cocaine into the U.S. He believed that the ties between the two organizations were so close, the contras could be called a CIA ‘subsidiary’ due to the frequency of their meetings with CIA operatives. Webb’s articles were criticized, his career destroyed, and he became the target of government retribution. His death in 2004 was officially deemed a suicide. Oliver North is now a regular presence in mainstream media on the Fox News Channel documentary series, “War Stories with Oliver North,” and other appearances as an expert pundit. The drug war has certainly taken a quantum leap since the 1970’s, and has become a regular feature of our lives, but as many people around the world struggle for its end, the truth about its inception continues to be exposed.

Obama’s Legacy: 5 Million Increase in Households Where No One Works

Posted by mishgea | March 6, 2016 1:45:48 | Economics

Promises Honored Obama promised to do something about rising income inequality. He did. He made matters worse. Income inequality is up by three different measures, and there is a huge five million jump in households in which no one works at all. His policies prove that transfer payments reduce incentives to work and lower incomes. Yet, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders promise the same. How Progressives Drive Income Inequality The Wall Street Journal comments How Progressives Drive Income Inequality. The Census Bureau releases annual updates on income distribution in the U.S., publishing three technical statistical measures — the Gini index, the mean logarithmic deviation of income, and the Theil index — each of which represents inequality levels on a scale of 0 to 1. (zero signifies perfect equality and 1 indicates perfect inequality). By all three measures, inequality rose more under Bill Clinton than under Ronald Reagan. And it wasn’t even close. Barack Obama’s administration follows this pattern, despite the complaints he and his supporters have made about his predecessor. The Gini index rose more than three times as much under Mr. Obama than under Mr. Bush. When this statistic was released, Mr. Obama had only six years as president compared with Mr. Bush’s eight. The spin doctors for Messrs. Clinton and Obama may insist that it wasn’t their fault. But consider their policies. Both Democratic presidents presided over bubble economies fueled by easy monetary policy. There is no better way to make the rich richer than to run policies that push up the price of financial assets. Cheap money is a boon to those who have access to it. Interest rates were also too low under Bush 43, but that bubble was in housing, and the effects were therefore more evenly distributed than under Mr. Clinton’s stock-market bubble or Mr. Obama’s credit bubble. In 1968, government transfer payments totaled $53 billion or roughly 7% of personal income. By 2014, these had climbed to $2.5 trillion—about 17% of personal income. Despite the redistribution of a sixth of all income, inequality measured by all three of the Census Bureau’s indexes is far higher today than in 1968. Transfer payments under Mr. Obama increased by $560 billion. By contrast private-sector wages and salaries grew by $1.1 trillion. So for every $2 in extra wages, about $1 was paid out in extra transfer paymentslowering the relative reward to work. In 2008, during the deepest recession in 75 years, 13.2% of Americans lived below the government’s official poverty line. The Great Recession officially ended in June 2009, but in 2014, after five years of economic expansion, 14.8% of Americans were still in poverty. Research by the Hamilton Project and the Urban Institute show that when families with children making between $20,000 and $50,000 attempt to have a second earner go back to work, the effective tax rate on the extra earnings—including lost government benefits such as food stamps, the earned-income tax credit, and medical support payments—is between 50% and 80%. This phaseout of the ever increasing array of benefits has created a “working-class trap” instead of a “poverty trap” that is increasing inequality and keeping the income of these households lower than they might otherwise be. While the number of two-earner households declined during the first six years of the Obama presidency, the number of single-earner households rose by 2.6 million and the number of households with no earners rose by almost five million. In other words, two thirds of the increase in the number of families under Mr. Obama was accounted for by households with no one working. This is the reason the middle class has shrunk, and the reason inequality has increased. Mish Comments We need to be fair about this. Aside from appointing a Fed Chair, neither Obama nor Bush is responsible for Fed policy. Secondly, I have to wonder how many of that increase of 5 million households where no one is working has to do with voluntary retirement. Of course, we need to ask the same question another way: How much of that increase is due to free handouts, transfer payment policies, and involuntary retirement? Without a doubt, Obama reduced the incentive to work. But coming up with the actual numbers is a bit more complicated than the article implies. Mike “Mish” Shedlock

Coming Soon? This Is What Would Happen If A 9.0 Earthquake Hit The Cascadia Subduction Zone…

By Michael Snyder, on March 6th, 2016

If you live in the Pacific Northwest, you have probably already heard of the Cascadia Subduction Zone. It is where the Juan de Fuca plate meets the North American plate, and it stretches approximately 700 miles from northern Vancouver Island all the way down to northern California. This subduction zone is capable of producing far more powerful earthquakes than the much more famous San Andreas fault in southern California, and scientists tell us that it is only a matter of time before another continent-killing earthquake hits this area. And when it does hit, it will be far worse than any other natural disaster that the United States has ever seen up to this point. According to CNN, “the largest earthquake in the continental United States” took place along the Cascadia Subduction Zone on January 26th, 1700, and one of the reasons why it is considered to be far more dangerous than other west coast faults is because it is also capable of producing massive tsunamis… The Cascadia can deliver a quake that’s many times stronger — plus a tsunami. “Cascadia can make an earthquake almost 30 times more energetic than the San Andreas to start with, and then it generates a tsunami at the same time, which the side-by-side motion of the San Andreas can’t do,” said Chris Goldfinger, a professor of geophysics at Oregon State University. The Cascadia is capable of delivering a 9.0-magnitude quake — an awesome show of force by Mother Nature. So what would that look like? What would a 9.0-magnitude quake that also produced a huge tsunami do to the highly populated northwest coast? According to an article in the New Yorker, the head of the FEMA division that oversees Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Alaska says that “everything west of Interstate 5 will be toast”… If the entire zone gives way at once, an event that seismologists call a full-margin rupture, the magnitude will be somewhere between 8.7 and 9.2. That’s the very big one. …By the time the shaking has ceased and the tsunami has receded, the region will be unrecognizable. Kenneth Murphy, who directs FEMA’s Region X, the division responsible for Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Alaska, says, “Our operating assumption is that everything west of Interstate 5 will be toast.” In the Pacific Northwest, everything west of Interstate 5 covers some hundred and forty thousand square miles, including Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, Eugene, Salem (the capital city of Oregon), Olympia (the capital of Washington), and some seven million people. Like I said earlier, it would be far worse than any natural disaster that we have ever experienced in the history of the United States up until now. And it could happen at literally any moment. In fact, many scientists believe that we are way overdue for a continent-altering earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Tension has been building up there for a very long time, and at some point that tension will be released. A recent piece by Adam Rothstein gives us an idea of what the first few moments of such a quake might look like in the city of Portland, Oregon… Cacophony swells from the city as if it is howling in response to the earth’s call: car alarms, shattering glass, the thudding of bricks popping out of building facades, humans screaming in fright, and far off, echoes of what sound like dumpsters clattering to the ground from the jaws of garbage trucks. It is the sound of shifting foundations and collapsing masonry, continuously, a roar increasing from every direction. It is the sound of the living surfaces that a city takes for granted becoming undone. Since we have not experienced such an earthquake in any of our lifetimes, it is easy to assume that one will never happen. But that is not what the scientists are telling us. In fact, they insist that the odds of “a continent-rending earthquake” in the near future are actually quite good… The Pacific Northwest is due for a continent-rending earthquake. Experts believe the odds of a Big One happening in the next half century are about one in three, the odds of a Very Big One roughly one in ten, and that, in either case, we are disastrously unprepared. And let us not forget that the Cascadia Subduction Zone sits directly along the Ring of Fire, and the Ring of Fire has started to become much more active in recent years. In addition, if the region starts to become more seismically active there is also a very real possibility that we could see a full-blown eruption of Mt. Rainier, which has been described as “the most dangerous mountain in America“. Let us hope that we have as much time as possible before our nation has to deal with such calamities, but the cold, hard truth is that we are certainly not helping matters by acting so wickedly. If we continue to do the same things that we have been doing, it is only a matter of time before the judgment of God comes to our land in a major way. We are killing millions of babies, harvesting their body parts and auctioning those body parts off to the highest bidder. To many Americans that may seem like “old news”, but I assure you that this is not “old news” to God. I don’t think that it was any accident that the series of undercover Planned Parenthood videos that were released last year came out when they did. We were being shown our guilt and we were being given one last chance to repent. There was a congressional hearing about this last Wednesday. The following comes from CNSNews.com… “Have we reached a point in our society where there effectively is an Amazon.com for human parts, entire babies?” Rep. Diane Black (R-Tenn.) asked the witnesses at a special hearing on bioethics and fetal tissue on Wednesday. Dr. Gerard Kevin Donovan, a pediatrician and bioethicist at Georgetown University, responded that the practice of using tissue from aborted babies for government-funded research “shocks my conscience and it should shock the conscience of the nation.” Unfortunately, the buying and selling of harvested baby parts does not shock the conscience of our nation. In fact, most surveys show that an overwhelming percentage of the American people want to continue giving hundreds of millions of tax dollars to Planned Parenthood each year even though they have been doing this. Since we have not responded to God’s calls to repent, all that is left is for Him to shake us. And without a doubt, the shaking is coming soon…

An establishment in panic

Pat Buchanan: 'Never Trump' strategy could bring about GOP's suicide

Published: 4 days ago

Donald Trump “appeals to racism.”

“[F]rom the beginning … his campaign has profited from voter prejudice and hatred” and represents an “authoritarian assault upon democracy.” If Speaker Paul Ryan wishes to be “on the right side of history … he must condemn Mr. Trump clearly and comprehensively. The same goes for every other Republican leader.” “Maybe that would split the (Republican) party,” but, “No job is worth the moral stain that would come from embracing (Trump). No party is worth saving at the expense of the country.” If Republican leaders wish to be regarded as moral, every one of them must renounce Trump, even if it means destroying their party. Who has laid down this moral mandate? The Holy Father in Rome? No. The voice posturing as the conscience of America is the Washington Post, which champions abortion on demand and has not, in the memory of this writer, endorsed any Republican for president – though it did endorse Marion Barry three times for mayor of D.C. Anticipating the Post’s orders, Sen. Marco Rubio has been painting Trump as a “scam artist” and “con artist,” with an “orange” complexion, a “spray tan” and “tiny hands,” who is “unfit to lead the party of Lincoln and Reagan.” The establishment is loving Rubio, and the networks are giving him more airtime. And Rubio is reciprocating, promising that, even if defeated in his home state of Florida on March 15, he will drive his pickup across the country warning against the menace of Trump. Rubio, however, seems not to have detected the moral threat of Trump, until polls showed Rubio being wiped out on Super Tuesday and in real danger of losing Florida. Mitt Romney has also suddenly discovered what a fraud and phony is the businessman-builder whose endorsement he so avidly sought and so oleaginously accepted in Las Vegas in 2012. Before other Republicans submit to the ultimatum of the Post, and of the columnists and commentators pushing a “Never Trump” strategy at the Cleveland convention, they should ask themselves: For whom is it that they will be bringing about party suicide? That the Beltway elites, whose voice is the Post, hate and fear Trump is not only undeniable, it is understandable. The Post beat the drums for the endless Mideast wars that bled and near bankrupted the country. Trump will not start another. The Post welcomes open borders that bring in millions to continue the endless expansion of the welfare state and to change the character of the country we grew up in. Trump will build the wall and repatriate those here illegally. Like the reporting you see here? Sign up for free news alerts from WND.com, America’s independent news network. Trump threatens the trade treaties that enable amoral transnational corporations to ship factories and jobs overseas to produce cheaply abroad and be rid of American employees who are ever demanding better wages and working conditions. What does the Post care about trade deals that deindustrialize America when the advertising dollars of the big conglomerates are what make Big Media fat and happy? The political establishment in Washington depends on Wall Street and K Street for PAC money and campaign contributions. Wall Street and K Street depend on the political establishment to protect their right to abandon America for the greener pastures abroad. Before March 15, when Florida and Ohio vote and the fates of Rubio and Gov. John Kasich are decided, nothing is likely to stop the ferocious infighting of the primaries. But after March 15, the smoke will have cleared. If Trump has fallen short of a glide path to the nomination, the war goes on. But if Trump seems to be the near-certain nominee, it will be a time for acceptance, a time for a cease-fire in this bloodiest of civil wars in the GOP. Otherwise, the party will kick away any chance of keeping Hillary Clinton out of the White House, and perhaps kick away its future as well. While the depth and rancor of the divisions in the party are apparent, so also is the opportunity. For the turnout in the Republican primaries and caucuses has not only exceeded expectations, it has astonished and awed political observers. A new “New Majority” has been marching to the polls and voting Republican, a majority unlike any seen since the 49-state landslides of the Nixon and Reagan eras. If this energy can be maintained, if those throngs of Republican voters can be united in the fall, then the party can hold Congress, capture the While House and reconstitute the Supreme Court. Come the ides of March, the GOP is going to be in need of its uniters and its statesmen. But today, all Republicans should ask themselves: Are these folks coming out in droves to vote Republican really the bigoted, hateful and authoritarian people of the Post’s depiction? Or is this not the same old Post that has poured bile on conservatives for generations now in a panic that America’s destiny may be torn away from it and restored to its rightful owners?

The Perfect Storm in Oil Prices Will Hit in the Ides of March

While some business / economic publications, like NewsMax are saying that, “Oil is pulling away from the market’s biggest storm in seven years,” I say, “Don’t believe it.” Not for one second. The real storm begins near the middle of March. Because people saw that the price of oil rose and stabilized in February and that stocks followed in lockstep, they were quick to conclude the worst is over. The final days of February were, in fact, nothing more than the calm before the main storm. People were, as usual, too quick to sigh in relief, and that relief is likely to make the upset even worse when they find out how wrong they were to think the worst is over. When people believe the worst is over, and suddenly things grow even worse than they already were, they are more likely to panic. We have seen this pattern of human naiveté again and again during the so-called “recovery” from the Great Recession. What really happened in February was a little consolidation, as both oil and stock caught their breath after a long first leg down in prices, but the worst pressures that I’ve been predicting were never set to come in February, but to start in March. I am amazed at how these publications continue parroting each other’s statements that the Saudis and Russians achieved a great agreement to resolve the problem of an oversupply of oil. While NewMax points out the many swings the argument took last month and even that the Saudis and Russians really only agreed not to make the problem worse, the article still seems to come down on the side that this agreement means the oil market has now stabilized and prices will rise to $40 a barrel very shortly. As I’ve laid out in my last article (so won’t go into much detail here), the so-called “pact” between Saudi Arabia and Russia accomplished the exact opposite of what all the parrots are squawking about. US oil production stays at forty-three year high While Saudi Arabia and Russia actually teamed up to make it clear they will not reduce oil production by a single drop to help solve the oil supply problem, four OPEC members, other than Saudi Arabia, also agreed not to make any production cuts. So, oversupply is absolutely certain to continue. What some people don’t realize is that the United States has actually been increasing production during this time. The last time the United States pumped at this present rate was 1972. US oil production has grown 82% since 2008, rising 8% last year alone. Shale-oil producers may be holding up better than the Saudis anticipated because the major oil producers have the muscle and reserve to make it through the present price wars by changing the focus of their current business activities. They are finding bargains in drilling costs now as the smaller producers go out of work and people become willing to work for the major producers for less. This is a good time to drill new wells because drilling produces no oil anyway, making it a good time to devote money in that direction. In a large oil company’s planning, it is something that has to be done for future production, so ramp it now by focusing assets in that direction while the costs are lower, and you’ll be set to make big money when prices move back up and those wells become ready for actual production. All of which means, the major US oil companies are increasing their production capacity as the smaller companies around them fail. The failure of small companies also makes for a good time to get good prices on equipment. It has never been the large oil producers that have been likely to go out of business. The problem is with the numerous small companies that cannot afford to weather a long storm. At least forty smaller companies have shut down since 2014. The rapid growth of many small contractors in the oil industry that fed the US job expansion during the “recovery” period will continue to shrivel, so this consolidation of businesses is bad news right at the heart of the “recovery.” The bonds they have used to finance their expansion will continue to go bust. Many jobs have already evaporated along with the small companies that have blown away in the dusty oil fields. Not all major oil companies, however, are weathering the storm well. Oil production giant, Halliburton, for example, has already cut over 26,000 jobs since its 2014 peak. Halliburton speaks a very different story to the dominant theme in mainstream media that the worst is over: “Our industry has turned down faster than anyone ever expected,” Halliburton CEO Dave Lesar and President Jeff Miller said in a memo to employees obtained by CNNMoney. The execs said it’s now clear that business opportunities will be “much worse than anticipated” coming into the year…. Halliburton has also attempted to cope with cheap oil by consolidating facilities in 20 countries and closing down operations altogether in another two countries. The oil downturn has sent Halliburton’s profits plunging. Its stock price has lost more than half its value since mid-2014 when crude prices peaked. (CNN Money) 26,000 jobs cut by just one company is no small dent in the recovery, and Halliburton doesn’t sound like its outlook for the industry is as good now as it was at the start of the year. In December, production rates finally did start to fall a little in the US as the toll taken by the initial storm finally started to become visible. Production rates are still falling. While the industry is finally starting to feel the crush, that’s not going to be enough reduction in production to help the price of oil in the near future. The US decline in production is minor so far, and the coming combined storms are major. This month, three storms will converge upon those businesses who focus on the production side of oil. March madness begins in the maintenance season for oil I’ve been pointing out for the past couple of months that we were nearing the oil industry’s huge annual maintenance season. This month, we enter it. The big refineries typically shut down a number of operations in March, after heating oil demands and oil-fired electricity demands are down and before summer travel demands for gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel all rise, in order to make repairs throughout their refineries. It’s a time when there is naturally less demand for oil, so the industries go into maintenance mode. The amount of refining that gets done this time of year drops. That means the backup of oil due to oversupply to the refineries should become worse this month. It is during this time that I think oil prices could touch down into the high teens, causing more already-marginal companies to throw in the towel. Numerous small contractors in the oil business will find the toughening situation breaks them, and that means more failing bonds and more strained banks. Shale Boom, Shale Bust: The Myth of Saudi America In 2014, something went terribly wrong with this rosy scenario of “Saudi America.” An unexpected collapse in the price of oil is bankrupting the oil patch, destroying jobs and threatening plans for a renewable energy future. Iran marches on Iran is marching forward without a flinch in its plans to ramp up oil production and sales to 2,000,000 barrels per day. They now anticipate hitting that number in March if you combine their crude and condensate sales (fine liquid oil that condenses out of natural gas). That is sooner than they projected a month ago. While Saudi Arabia and Russia agreed not to expand production further, Iran now rightly points out that the talk of oil production cuts was always “a joke.” There was never a chance, as I also pointed out on this blog, that either the Saudis or the Russians were going to voluntarily cut production in the price war they are using to try to recover market share from rapidly expanding US producers. Their pact really says, “Oversupply will end when enough US companies go out of business.” With Iran promising to expand production this month (and already succeeding in doing so), and with oil refineries not being able to do much refining, the backup of crude could get large enough to quickly reach the point where there are no tanks left for storing oil or natural gas. That is the major inflection point at which everyone will be forced to slow production temporarily but only because they cannot sell oil at all. I expect that major backup to cause the next severe downward leg in oil prices. Stocks have been marching in lockstep, so they are likely to also plummet with the greater drop in the price of oil, causing the next leg in the crash of the stock market. As I’ve said all along, that crash will unfold in numerous downward legs, separated by smaller rallies, over the course of a year to a year-and-a-half. Revelers during the Ides of March will be stunned While many are blowing their party whistles on the oil-price-stabilization bandwagon, I do have some company in my dire predictions for a short-term oil price crash. Deloitte said in a report a week ago that 75% of oil exploration companies could default on their debt, ending in bankruptcy, where they either restructure their debts or, in the worst cases, go out of business. Another person who sees the coming storm as I do is John Kilduff, founding partner of Again Capital, which specializes in energy trading: We’re in the red zone, and we’re about to go over the goal line here for that actual pain point…. The rich are going to get richer, but companies like Chesapeake, unfortunately I think, is among the road kill, Goodrich Petroleum…. We are definitely going to see [$18/barrel oil]…. Now you’re seeing refineries go into maintenance…. Oil is going to back up big time in the system here. (Nightly Business Report) As I’ve said, the increased backup of oil will be caused by the perfect storm coming in on the convergence of three different fronts: 1) the agreement by Russia and Saudi Arabia to maintain full-tilt production converging with 2) the post-sanction arrival of Iran back into the marketplace just as 3) the oil industry goes into maintenance mode and so needs even less oil, not more. Kilduff says he thinks BP is another company that is going to wind up deep enough in distress that it will be bought up by some other massive conglomerate. Kilduff also predicts Chesapeake — a major oil producer and the second largest natural gas producer in the US — will go under. Chesapeake lost more than $14 billion last year on the downturn. It says it will sell off many of its assets this year to pay down its debts. So, the major fire sales are also beginning. According to Kilduff, we are, just this month, reaching that ultimate pain point. A desert storm is gathering over the oil fields.

Who Is The Real Ted Cruz?

Roger Stone 10:53 AM 01/26/2016

Vladimir Lenin said, “There are no morals in politics; there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel.” I can’t think of a better description of Ted Cruz’s relationship with the DC-Wall Street Establishment – Cruz being the scoundrel of course. Cruz’s claim of not being a tool of the political elite is like Bill Clinton telling the world, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.” Webster’s definition of a scoundrel is a dishonest or unscrupulous person, and Cruz has become quite adroit at saying one thing while his history shows him doing the other. Rather than the outsider he claims to be, Ted Cruz is the ultimate insider, former top Bush 41 policy aide and globalist, Ivy Leaguer, and establishment insider. Not many conservatives coming out of Princeton and Harvard. “I’m just sayin,'” Ted, as said in the debate. There is no better example of this than Calgary Ted’s actions surrounding the big Wall Street banks and their secret funding of his political ascension. Cruz has been gorging at the table of the ultimate insider of all insiders – Goldman Sachs and Citibank . You may recall in a recent Fox Business Network debate that Cruz, in Mr. Haney from Green Acres voice, declared to one of the moderators, “The opening question [moderator Jerry Seib] asked — would you bailout the big banks again — nobody gave you an answer to that. I will give you an answer — absolutely not.” What else would you expect a scoundrel to say who had secretly secured big sweetheart loans from Goldman and Citibank — by leveraging his retirement accounts –– to fund his 2012 U.S. Senate campaign. Loans which the Calgary Ted conveniently forgot to disclose to the Federal Election Commission. These are the very retirement accounts that he said he and his wife said he cashed in to fund his senate race. In other words, Ted lied. At the same time Ted’s bulging 2016 campaign accounts and supporting Super-PACs are stuffed with big oil and gas money. He knows how to play the game. And perhaps the ultimate hypocrisy of the native born Canadian is that his spouse, Heidi, by all accounts a lovely wife and mother, has been employed by Goldman Sachs since 2005. She is on leave as managing director and regional head of private wealth management. Heidi is a proud member of the lefty Council on Foreign Relations, advocates of one world government and the New World Order. Heidi is not a bit player in the Cruz campaign with those credentials but rather an integral part of the campaign’s fundraising efforts. As reported by CNN last year, “She works the phones the way she worked them when she was at Goldman,” said Chad Sweet, the Cruz campaign’s chairman, who recruited Heidi to work at the giant investment bank.” Yet we are to believe that the big Wall Street banks have no leverage over Ted Cruz? Why didn’t Heidi Cruz resign from Goldman Sachs instead of taking a leave of absence? That’s like saying Bill Ayers and Saul Alinsky have had no influence on Barack Obama. The other inside connection that hits one like a baseball bat is the Bush connection. Ted was George W.’s brain when he ran for President. A top policy adviser. Ted maneuvered for Solicitor General in Bush World but settled for a plum at the Federal Trade Commission. Ted’s a Bushman with deep ties to the political and financial establishment. Ted and Heidi brag about being the first “Bush marriage” – they met as Bush staffers which ultimately led to marriage. Cruz was an adviser on legal affairs while Heidi was an adviser on economic policy and eventually director for the Western Hemisphere on the National Security Council under Condoleezza Rice. Condi helped give us the phony war in Iraq. Also conveniently missing from Heidi’s Wikipedia bio is her service as Deputy U.S. Trade Representative to USTR head Robert Zoellick. At USTR Heidi worked on U.S.-China trade policy- the one Donald Trump talks about so much. And Chad Sweet, Ted Cruz’s campaign chairman, is a former CIA officer. Michael Chertoff, George W. Bush’s former Secretary of Homeland Security, hired Sweet from Goldman Sachs to restructure and optimize the flow of information between the CIA, FBI and other members of the national security community and DHS. Chertoff and Sweet co-founded the Chertoff Group upon leaving the administration. A known tactic of the intelligence community is the use of strategic communications as a “soft power” weapon against it adversaries — the creation of false narratives by the effective use of all media — social, digital, newspaper, print, etc. Combined with denial and deception, it can be a potent force. Glenn Beck and Mark Levin are abetting this. Despite his ability to lie with a straight face (sadly Nixonian) on his support for amnesty and TPP, he got nailed by Senator Marco Rubio on the debate. Acting like a prick in the U.S. Senate was the core of Ted’s disciplined effort to bury his old school ties and reinvent himself as a modern-day Jesse Helms and supposed Conservative outsider. It’s a ruse. As we get closer to the Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire Primary, Cruz and his establishment puppet masters are engaged in an aggressive strategy against Trump. The false narrative of course being that Cruz is the outsider while Trump is the insider. Nothing could be farther from the truth. In its most simplistic terms – the power elite have no leverage over Trump – nothing. Cruz, on the other hand, is the establishments quisling, spawned by the Bushes and controlled by Wall Street, who became a strident “outsider” only four years ago. The U.S. Constitution does not defined “native born” citizen, nor have the courts. That Ted was eligible to run for office as a citizen only 15 months ago is weird. Trump’s right the Democrats would have a field day with Calgary Ted, the Manchurian, Canadian Candidate. Don’t get me wrong. Ted Cruz is a smart, canny, talented guy who has run a great “long race” campaign. He aspires to be Reagan but trust me he’s Nixon. Right down the incredible discipline and smarts playing the political game. Ted Cruz is not who he appears to be. As the bible says, “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” In this case we must beware a Canadian bearing gifts.

Netanyahu turns down Obama meeting and cancels US trip

White House disputes reports that it could not find a suitable date for Israeli PM, in a sign of tensions between two leaders

Peter Beaumont in Jerusalem Tuesday 8 March 2016 04.14 EST

Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu turned down the offer of a meeting with president Barack Obama, prompting a sharp response from the White House, in the latest evidence of the tense relations between the two leaders. The abrupt decision by Netanyahu to cancel a visit to Washington later this month surprised US officials, who said they learned of the cancellation via the media. The White House additionally disputed reports in the Israeli media that said Netanyahu cancelled the trip after the White House had been unable to find a date for a meeting that worked with Obama’s schedule, saying those suggestions were “false”. The latest friction between Netanyahu and Obama – who have had a tense relationship, not least over the issue of Iran – came ahead of a visit by vice-president Joe Biden to Israel, when the issue of US military aid to the country is expected to be on the agenda. Netanyahu had been expected to visit the US in March on a trip coinciding with a major pro-Israeli group’s annual summit. etc. and the news story continues.

Supreme Court Blocks Louisiana Law Closing Abortion Clinics, Two Abortion Centers Reopen

State Steven Ertelt Mar 4, 2016 | 6:23PM Washington, DC

The Supreme Court has overturned an appeals court order allowing a pro-life law to go into effect in Louisiana that has already closed abortion clinics unable to provide for women’s health. Earlier this month, a federal appeals court overturned a block a federal judge put in place to stop a new law from taking effect that may close three of the four abortion clinics operating in the Bayou State. Now, the Supreme Court has versed that ruling. As ABC News reports: The justices effectively reversed an order by the federal appeals court in New Orleans that allowed Louisiana to begin enforcing its 2014 clinic regulation law even as it is being challenged in the courts. The law requires doctors who provide abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. Two clinics, in Boisier City and Baton Rouge, that had already closed in response to the appellate ruling will reopen and a third clinic in Shreveport that faced imminent closure will remain open, said the Center for Reproductive Rights, which is representing the clinics. The high court’s order, with only Justice Clarence Thomas noting his dissent, came two days after the justices heard arguments in a major abortion case from Texas and just hours after they voted in a private meeting on the outcome of that case. Earlier this month, a Louisiana judge sided with abortion advocates and ruled against a state law that would ensure abortion clinics are meeting basic health and safety requirements. Baton Rouge District Judge John deGravelles blocked the law from taking effect and declared it “unconstitutional” in a Tuesday ruling. The pro-life law would protect women by ensuring that abortionists have admitting privileges at a local hospital, that informed consent protections apply to all abortions, and that facilities that perform more than five abortions maintain proper licensing. Attorneys for the state immediately asked Judge John deGravelles to stay the order while they appeal it and his Jan. 26 finding that the law is unconstitutional. Today, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit today granted an extraordinary emergency stay of the federal court decision. The Center for Reproductive Rights and the Louisiana abortion centers behind the lawsuit indicated they would appeal to the Supreme Court. DeGravelles said in January that of six abortion doctors performing abortions in Louisiana, only two meet the requirement, and one of them has said he would quit if the law is enforced. The pro-life law would protect women by ensuring that abortionists have admitting privileges at a local hospital, that informed consent protections apply to all abortions, and that facilities that perform more than five abortions maintain proper licensing. Attorneys for Louisiana were confident the appeals court would overturn the judge’s ruling for two reasons. They said the judge’s analysis of the number of women likely to be affected used a procedure very different from the one used by the same court when it upheld a similar law in Texas. The 5th Circuit’s procedure would have indicated that the law is constitutional because more than 90 percent of all women of reproductive age are within 150 miles of an abortion clinic, the attorneys’ motion said. They also took issue with deGravelles’ ruling that a third doctor’s privileges do not meet the law’s requirements even though Kathy Kleibert, who was then health secretary, testified that she would accept them. Louisiana Right to Life Executive Director Ben Clapper previously told LifeNews: “Not surprisingly, the abortion industry has filed suit to stop the common-sense standards put in place by HB 388. We believe it is the right of the state of Louisiana to close loopholes that allow abortion facilities to operate at a lower standard as compared to other surgical facilities.” Clapper said that although the facilities and doctors are claiming they have not had enough time to get admitting privileges, the amount of time they had was similar to the amount of time involved in the implementation of a similar law in Texas. The law is responsible for closing abortion clinics that could not guarantee they could protect the health of Texas women. It has been credited with saving the lives of more than 10,000 unborn children.

The number of Muslim converts who are risking prison or death by secretly worshipping as Christians in Iran’s house church movement has grown to as many as 1 million people, according to watchdog groups. The London-based Pars Theological Center is training at least 200 Iranian Christians to become the next generation of Iran's church leaders, the Christian Post reported. The persecution of Christians has persisted in Iran since the 1979 rise of the country’s theocratic Shiite Muslim government -- with Christians facing the threat of death, lashing and torture. About 100 Christians currently remain imprisoned under Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's rule. In 2010, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the country's underground house churches “threaten the Islamic faith and deceive young Muslims.” Despite the crackdown, there is now a growing movement of Christians in the Islamic Republic. Groups like Open Doors USA estimate around 450,000 practicing Christians in the country, while other estimates record more than 1 million Christians in Iran.

U.S. strikes al Shabaab training camp in Somalia, more than 150 killed

Mar 8, 2016 - 00:49 By Phil Stewart

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States launched an air strike in Somalia that killed more than 150 fighters with the al Qaeda-linked Islamist group al Shabaab following U.S. intelligence on preparations for a large-scale militant attack, the Pentagon said on Monday. The Saturday strike, using both manned aircraft and unmanned MQ-9 Reaper drones, targeted al Shabaab's "Raso" training camp, a facility about 120 miles north of the capital Mogadishu, the Pentagon said. The U.S. military had been monitoring the camp for several weeks before the strike and had gathered intelligence, including about an imminent threat posed by those in the camp to U.S. forces and African Union peacekeepers, officials said. U.S. Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James described the strike as "defensive" in nature. "There was intelligence ... these fighters would soon be embarking upon missions that would directly impact the U.S. and our partners," James told reporters. etc. and the news story continues.

North Korea to Use Specialized EMP Weapons Against the United States

TWICE IN 6 HOURS I RECEIVED TIPS FROM HIGHLY RELIABLE INSIDER SOURCES WHICH STATE THAT OUR MILITARY IS OPERATING UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT CHINA HAS ENABLED NORTH KOREA WITH MODIFIED EMP WEAPONS FOR USE AGAINST LOCALIZED AND REGIONAL TARGETS WITHIN THE LOWER 48 STATES SHOULD HOSTILITIES COMMENCE IN KOREA.

China builds EMP weapons AND THEN SUPPLIES THESE WEAPONS TO THE NORTH KOREANS FOR USE AGAINST THE UNITED STATES

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy issued a threat to the Soviet Union that any attack by Cuba upon the United States would be considered to be an attack by the Soviet Union upon the United States. Today, President Obama needs to issue a similar warning to the Russians and the Chinese. In the spirit of John Kennedy, Obama should state, today, on national television that “Any EMP attack upon the United States by North Korea will be considered to be an attack upon the United States by Russia and China.” Unfortunately, Obama is playing for the other side. The Navy Has Prepped for An EMP Attack for 7 Years Since Obama has been President, the Navy has been involved in an unprecedented 7 year war game. In actuality, this move, by the Navy Department is designed to keep as many ships out to sea because they fear being victimized by an EMP attack. What has the Navy known about Obama that the rest of us should know? An unheard of seven year war game that encompasses every US coastline. The potential for an EMP attack upon the United States has been anticipated for sometime. The Chain of Custody for An EMP Attack Upon the United States Putin has forged a deep alliance with China through the virtual merging of the energy resources of both countries. China controls the puppet state of North Korea. When Hu says “jump” Kim Jong-un says “How High President Hu?” And make no mistake about it, an attack upon Russia is now an attack upon China and North Korea sits at the ready to do the bidding of its puppet masters. Attacking America at Its Weakest Point The Navy has prepared for an outdated mode of EMP attack. Traditionally, most experts agree that the most effective delivery method for a nation-wide EMP, or HEMP attack would be the Club-K Container Missile System. Sophisticated computer hackers, like the ones from North Korea, now have the ability to generate such an effect on our power grid by simultaneously hacking into our power grid and, in effect, generating a localized EMP attack. The effect would be almost as devastating in terms of the effects of such an attack on local utilities, especially for the providers of our power and water entities. Some insider sources have concluded that there is a significant danger to America from North Korean hackers far beyond the disruption of our movies and corporate accounts that they have hacked. I have learned that sophisticated computer hackers, like the ones from North Korea, have the ability to generate an EMP effect on our power grid by simultaneously hacking into our power grid and, in effect, generating a localized EMP attack. The effect would be almost as devastating in terms of the effects of such an attack on local utilities, especially for the providers of our power and water entities. Many think it is a good thing that the Navy has prepared for an EMP attack, However, they have prepared for the wrong kind of EMP attack . Where would the Koreans have learned to tap into US power grid and generate a limited EMP attack? His name is Barack Obama. High Treason In the White House Obama has already shown the Russians and the Chinese how to take down our grid. As as part of the November 2013 Grid EX II drill, which simulated an EMP attack upon the United States, Russia and China, are most formidable enemies, were invited to attend. Who would sanction such lunacy in which we showed them how to take down our grid? And then I remembered the ubiquitous actions of our current President towards the American people. In other words, Obama gave the Russians and the Chinese the knowledge on how to effect a grid take down. Of course, who could forget when outgoing DHS director, Janet Napolitano, stated in her August 2013 farewell address that it is not a matter of if but when such an attack will occur. There is virtually no defense. It is not likely that the Koreans will take down the entire grid because of the vested Chinese interests here. But it will be enough to cause us to lose World War III and throw our lives in total chaos. More to come as more become available.

N.KOREA THREATENS PRE-EMPTIVE NUCLEAR STRIKE ON SOUTH AND US

Russia warns North Korea over threats of nuclear strike

One of Pyongyang’s few remaining allies says country is in danger of creating legal grounds for international military intervention. NK News reports

Chad O'Carroll for NK News, part of the North Korea network Tuesday 8 March 2016 09.34 EST

Russia has warned North Korea that threats to deliver “preventive nuclear strikes” could create a legal basis for the use of military force against the country, suggesting that even Pyongyang’s few remaining friends are growing concerned about its increasingly confrontational stance. The Russian foreign ministry statement, which follows a North Korean threat to “annihilate” the US and South Korea, also criticises Washington and Seoul for launching the largest joint military drills yet to be held on the peninsula. “We consider it to be absolutely impermissible to make public statements containing threats to deliver some ‘preventive nuclear strikes’ against opponents,” the Russian foreign ministry said in response to North Korea’s threats. “Pyongyang should be aware of the fact that in this way the DPRK will become fully opposed to the international community and will create international legal grounds for using military force against itself in accordance with the right of a state to self-defense enshrined in the United Nations Charter,” continued the statement, translated by Itar Tass news agency. Washington and Seoul launched their annual joint military exercises on the peninsula on Monday, stepping up the manoeuvres in response to North Korea’s fourth nuclear test in January and rocket launch in February. But while the statement said Moscow was opposed to the tone of North Korea’s response, it also said the scale of the American-South Korean joint exercise put “unprecedented … military and political pressure on Pyongyang”. “Naturally, as a state, which is directly named as an object of this kind of military activities, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) cannot but feel reasonably concerned for its security,” the statement said. Pyongyang had said the drills, which are set to run to the end of April, are rehearsals for invading. Russia has historically had close relations with North Korea, making its warning that the country may be laying itself open to military action particularly notable. But one observer said Moscow’s response could be expected, given the tone of North Korea’s recent public statements. “Pyongyang should be learning that the types of threats they continue to make will have consequences,” said Daniel Pinkston, a Seoul-based North Korea researcher at Troy University. “The security dilemma dynamics that the behaviour and rhetoric set in motion are making Son’gun Korea less secure, not more secure,” he said. “This is the flaw in their national security strategy, and it will continue to be exposed in the future.” Another North Korea watcher said the statement might be better viewed as a warning to Pyongyang of what others might do, rather than Russian actions in particular. “Russia is pointing out to North Korea that its inflammatory rhetoric risks giving its opponents – primarily South Korea and the US – just cause to pursue military action against it,” said regional expert Christopher Green. Inter-Korean relations have worsened significantly in recent weeks, with Pyongyang showing particular sensitivity to the UN sanctions agreed last week.

Chinese Hackers Break Into NY Fed, Steal $100 Million From Bangladesh Central Bank

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/07/2016 17:15 -0500

Reports indicate that some of the stolen funds were traced to the Philippines, but given what we know about the "Cyber Axis of Evil," we can only suspect it was Iranians, Chinese, or the criminal/military mastermind Kim Jong-Un who was behind the scam, but whatever the case, someone, somewhere, hacked into Bangladesh's central bank on February 5. According to Reuters, "some of the funds" have been recovered, but the bank didn't initially say how much or how much was initially stolen. We suppose that theoretically it could have been a rather large sum, as the country has around $26 billion in FX reserves on hand: But just moments ago we learned from the AFP that the amount lost was around $100 million. "Some of the money was then illegally transferred online to the Philippines and Sri Lanka, a central bank official told AFP on condition of anonymity." "The bank reported that the USD 100 million was leaked into the Philippine banking system, sold to a black market foreign exchange broker and then transferred to at least three local casinos," AFP continues, adding that "the amount was later sold back to the money broker and moved out to overseas accounts within days." And here's the punchline: According to AFP, Chinese hackers have been blamed and the money was stolen from accounts held at the New York Fed... This afternoon, the Fed was out with the official denial, saying only this to Reuters: “To date, there is no evidence of any attempt to penetrate Federal Reserve systems in connection with the payments in question, and there is no evidence that any Fed systems were compromised.” Was Dudley penetrated then, or not? We'll have to wait on the official investigation.

Kick Turkey Out of NATO

Submitted by George Washington on 03/07/2016 16:10

There’s a Petition at Change.org to suspend Turkey’s membership in NATO.

Why kick Turkey out of NATO? Because: Turkey just shut down the largest Turkish newspaper using tear gas, water canons and brutality: Turkey has destroyed free speech and freedom of the press. And see this Turkey imprisons more journalists than any other country in the world Journalists – such as Dutch reporter Frederike Geerdink or Vice News’ Mohammed Rasool – are regularly detained on spurious charges Anyone who criticizes Turkey’s president is arrested Twitter reports that the Turkish government made more content removal requests than any other in the worldbefore completely blocking Twitter and Youtube After reporters, local police and Turkish generals caught a weapons shipment from Turkey into Syria, they were all arrested on “treason” charges for exposing the shipment Turkey’s president says he doesn’t have to follow the rulings of Turkey’s top court Turkey is one of the main supporters of ISIS and Al Nusra Turkey provided the chemical weapons used in the famous attacks which killed hundreds in Syria. Pulitzer-prize winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh – who uncovered the Iraq prison torture scandal and the Mai Lai massacre in Vietnam – previously reported that high-level American sources tell him that the Turkish government carried out the chemical weapons attacks blamed on the Syrian government Unless reined in, Turkey may well get us into WW3 with Russia Why are we allowing such an antidemocratic, tin pot dictatorship to stay in NATO?

Why Did the Senate Ag Committee Just Vote to Take Away our Food Rights?!

Keeping us in the ‘Dark’ About GMOs in Our Food

by Christina Sarich Posted on March 7, 2016

How did the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture vote this past Tuesday in the hearing for the DARK Act, (Deny Americans the Right to Know) strangely officially called the Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act (HR 1599)? You need to know before if goes to a full Senate floor vote! The DARK Act cleared the committee in a 14 to 6 vote. This bill was promoted by Representative Mike Pompeo, a supporter of biotech giants like Monsanto, and would pre-empt states from having their own laws on GMO labeling. This includes states such as Vermont which have already acted on GMO labeling. Vermont has a GM labeling law going into effect just months from now. America needs to contact those that voted Nay and thank those Senators. Ask these representatives to listen to the people, and stand strong against the DARK Act. For those that voted Yea, consider contacting to let them know how you feel about their betrayal of Americans’ right to know what is in their food. States’ rights need to be protected. We all deserve to know if we are eating foods full of genetically modified ingredients! It would also allow GMOs to be labeled ‘natural’ so lawsuits which hold large companies liable for lying to consumers about what is in their food (ie., Kellogg’s recent Kashi fiasco) would become a thing of the past. Big Food is basically saying this: ‘we’ll tell you what’s safe, and we’ll call something natural even if it’s made in a lab, and you’ll shut up and eat it.’ We need to stop the DARK Act dead in its tracks. You can thank these 6 Senators that voted against the DARK Act during the Senate Ag Committee hearing: Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI): (202) 224-4822

NM ranchers outraged by lack of security at border

By Lauren Villagran / Journal Staff Writer - Las Cruces Bureau Monday, March 7th, 2016 at 12:05am

The story goes like this: A ranch hand working in New Mexico’s Bootheel stumbles upon men and two or three vehicles stranded in remote cattle country. They turn out to be drug runners from Mexico who take him hostage, load his vehicle with narcotics and force him to drive to Willcox, Ariz., where they leave him alive but warn him not to go to the police. They would be watching. That alleged incident and a host of recent break-ins have ranchers across Hidalgo County and in southeastern Arizona outraged about what they say is a decline in border security. The cattle growers associations of both states are hosting a meeting this week in the tiny town of Animas to air their grievances to elected officials – including pleas for more boots on the ground – and they expect to draw a crowd. The Bootheel’s rugged terrain of ridges and arroyos, sparse roads and sprawling desert has historically presented challenges for law enforcement charged with keeping the region safe, particularly from illegal traffic coming from Mexico. It’s a corridor favored by traffickers moving dope north to the drug-hungry U.S. market. The ranch hand was working for Elbrock Water Systems on the Gray Ranch on Dec. 7 when he was allegedly hijacked by drug runners, according to Tricia Elbrock, who co-owns the Animas-based company that provides well and septic services from Tucson to El Paso. The Elbrocks, their employees and law enforcement searched for him all night before he called from Willcox before noon the next day, she said. “They kidnapped him, tied him up, threw all our tools out and fittings and loaded our company vehicle with all the drugs,” Elbrock said. “They waited till dark to leave the ranch. They needed him to help guide them through to the highway.” On the phone, Elbrock gasped back a sob as she said: “This is still pretty raw. We got him back safe. They did rough him up, but we got him back. It’s a mess. I don’t know what to tell you. We have got to have help down here.” The FBI confirmed that it is investigating the alleged kidnapping, referred to the bureau by Border Patrol. FBI spokesman Frank Fisher in Albuquerque said no arrests have been made but declined to comment further, citing the pending investigation. The day their employee returned to Animas, Elbrock said, she, her husband, Edward, and the employee were questioned by State Police, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the FBI. “The folks down there have never gotten any relief from illegal crossings,” said Caren Cowan, executive director of the Albuquerque-based New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association. “And things have ramped up. These people are desperate. They are absolutely desperate. We have had countless meetings with government agencies over the years, and I say this with all due respect, all we hear about is what they are trying to do and nothing gets done.” “The main reason for this meeting is this incident,” said Meira Gault, whose 20,000-acre ranch lies just north of the U.S.-Mexico border in Hidalgo County. “People feel they aren’t protected. Everyone is scared.” Border Patrol reported apprehending 11,000 unauthorized border crossers in fiscal 2015 and seizing more than 15,000 pounds of marijuana. A spokesman said the agency could not break down apprehensions or drug seizures in the Bootheel specifically. The Border Patrol’s Lordsburg station has been understaffed in recent months, down about 50 agents in a location that is budgeted for 284 agents. But there are agents in the pipeline. A spokesman said the agency has candidates at its training academy that will be assigned to the Bootheel. Organizers say they have invited elected officials to the meeting. Republican U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce, whose southern New Mexico district includes Hidalgo County, is scheduled to be there, according to a spokeswoman. “The vandalism and the trespass issues have increased,” said Erica Valdez, who ranches more than 40,000 acres between Animas and Lordsburg, about 35 miles north of the border. The same night of the reported kidnapping, Border Patrol tracked and apprehended two alleged drug runners after a 3 a.m. pursuit in the Animas Valley that involved eight agents working in vehicles, manning a night-vision camera, trekking on foot and riding ATVs, according to a criminal complaint against the two Mexican nationals charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. The bed of their vehicle was allegedly loaded with 2,774 pounds of pot. The complaint filed by the U.S. attorney in New Mexico makes no mention of a kidnapping. But it does say that just before that pursuit took place, a different “suspicious vehicle” with its rear lights extinguished “possibly went off road to avoid detection” in the same area. “The border is not secure,” Valdez said. “It doesn’t matter how tall of a wall you put up, they are going to tunnel under it, they are going to torch through it. If they want to come across, they will. The only way they are going to stop it is with boots on the ground at the border. We would like to see more agents.”

Abortion Showdown in Texas

In 1973, Roe v Wade paved the way for more than 50 million legal abortions. But do you know what happened in 1992? In Planned Parenthood v Casey, the Supreme Court held that "the State may enact regulations to further the health or safety of a woman seeking an abortion, but may not impose unnecessary health regulations that present a substantial obstacle to a woman seeking an abortion." In the wake of Casey, many states have passed laws which restrict abortion and protect women's health. The pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute says that 15 years ago, only 13 states had four or five restrictions on the books, compared to today with 27 states. And many have been passed in just the last few years. These legal restrictions - along with other factors, like the use of ultrasoundhave saved babies' lives. According to The Atlantic, "Since 1990, the rate of abortions has fallen by more than a third, and the raw number of abortions has fallen by more than half." And that doesn't sit well with pro-abortion forces, especially those who profit from the gruesome practice. In 2013, a common-sense Texas law requiring abortion clinics to maintain hospital admitting privileges and to meet the same health and safety standards as other facilities performing outpatient surgery was challenged. This latest abortion case is called Whole Womans Health v Hellerstedt. Oral arguments were presented before the high court last week, with a decision expected in June. It's the biggest abortion case in a quarter-century. With the recent, untimely death of the conservative, pro-life Antonin Scalia, the court is split now between four liberal justices, three conservatives, and swing vote, Anthony Kennedy. The plaintiffs, who claim to be about protecting "women's health," and who insist abortion is an essential medical practice, are now in the awkward position of saying that abortion clinics shouldn't be subject to the same oversight as other medical clinics. They claim the law adds rules that are "medically unnecessary" to abortion, but still medically necessary to all other medical practices. Since the law went into effect, the number of Texas abortion mills has been cut in half, with another ten expected to close if the law is fully implemented. Roger Severino, director of Heritage Foundation's DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society, says "this case is about the ability of Texas to increase the health and safety standards at abortion clinics. The abortion industry should not get a special exemption, and Texas is well within its rights to act." We need only remember Kermit Gosnells grisly house of horrors in Philadelphia. No regulation or oversight there meant that for 30 years his clinic received less oversight than the local ice cream parlor. And mothers, not to mention unborn and born children, died because of it. There are multiple scenarios that could play out with the Whole Woman's Health v Hellerstedt case. The U. S. Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit, has already upheld the law, so the only way for similar laws in all 50 states to be struck down is for today's eight-member court to vote 5-3 to overturn all or part of it. A 5-3 vote the other way, of course, would validate such laws across the nation. A 4-4 split would uphold the law, but only for Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Or the justices could send the case back to the court of appeals, seeking more evidence of a link between the law and clinic closures. Finally, they could hold the case until next term when a ninth justice is seated. There are lot of options! So please right now, pray for the right decision in the case of Whole Woman's Health v Hellerstedt. Because, as we know, Jesus loves all the children, and the women, of the world.

NHS to ‘support’ women to carry babies to term for organ donation

(TRUNEWS) Pregnant women may soon be forced to make a difficult decision – to abort their babies or giving up their organs after birth. National Health Service (NHS), the publically funded healthcare system in the U.K. is proposing that women be “supported” to carry the child to term for the sole purpose of harvesting the baby’s organs. There is currently a shortage of donated organs, according to The Express. The mother could choose not to have their child’s organs removed by choosing abortion instead if tests during pregnancy determined the baby may have a birth defect. In some cases, if the mother has agreed to donation, a “brain dead” baby could be kept alive so their organs are “fresh” when doctors remove them. The idea was unveiled at a medical conference at the British Transplantation Society in Glasgow, according to the Daily Mirror. An NHS representative talked to Mail Online and promised women would not be pressured. A committee has been set up by NHS Blood and Transplant to promote more organ donation from newborns and babies. Doctors wish to harvest the organs of about 100 babies a year, up from 11 in the past two years. There is a market for baby body parts. Last year in the U.S. it was revealed through a series of undercover videos that Planned Parenthood sold the organs from aborted children to researchers

March 9th | Look up! | Behold your heavenly wedding band

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

Psalm 19 1-5 King James Version

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. Luke 21:25-28 Tomorrow, we will witness unique astronomical closure events of the Hebrew year with great prophetic significance. As Daniel Valles from Informedchristians.com has very eloquently presented in this video, we are approaching a unique eclipse marker on March 9th and subsequent turn of the Jewish year cycle on March 10th. Strikingly, the coming eclipse is only visible in and near Indonesia. About 10,000 foreign visitors and 100,000 Indonesian tourists are expected to view the spectacle, and special religiously inspired events have been organized across the country, from a festival featuring live bands to dragon boat races. “This is a very special year because we have this phenomenon – a tourism attraction created by God,” I Gde Pitana, the government’s head of foreign tourism, said.. Scientists are also flocking to Indonesia including a four-member team from Nasa. Location matters Those who are familiar with the writings of my beloved friend and colleague Sue Bradley (deceased), understand this location holds great prophetic significance regarding the coming of the Antichrist, rise of the beast system and the roots of and spiritual synchronicities with president Obama. I would particularly like to draw your attention to page 54-57 for focus and efficiency purposes. Anak Krakatau. The Father, The Son and The Tongues of Fire. Page 27 and onward of the subsequent essay Sue Bradley and I co-wrote, deepens the correlation between Indonesia, Obama and specific end time events. Shepherds and Staves, Beauty and Bands. Zechariah 11. Thus, within the context of the occurrence of first blood moon quintet in history on the Lord’s holy feast days*, the Barley harvest (a type of first fruits) will be checked in Israel for its readiness (called Aviv in Hebrew), exactly on the day of a total solar eclipse. Aviv indicates a stage in the development of the barley crops. This is clear from Ex 9:31-32 which describes the devastation caused by the plague of hail: “And the flax and the barley were smitten, because the barley was Aviv and the flax was Giv’ol. And the wheat and the spelt were not smitten because they were dark (Afilot).” The above passage relates that the barley crops were destroyed by the hail while the wheat and spelt were not damaged. To understand the reason for this we must look at how grain develops. When grains are early in their development they are flexible and have a dark green color. As they become ripe they take on a light yellowish hue and become more brittle. The reason that the barley was destroyed and the wheat was not is that the barley had reached the stage in its development called Aviv and as a result had become brittle enough to be damaged by the hail. In contrast, the wheat and spelt crops were still early enough in their development, at a stage when they were flexible and not susceptible to being damaged by hail. The description of the wheat and spelt as “dark” (Afilot) indicates that they are still in the stage when they were deep green and had not yet begun to lighten into the light yellowish hue which characterizes ripe grains. A type of lacking spiritual responsiveness (oil) and lacking light (untrimmed lamps). In contrast, the barley had reached the stage of Aviv at which time it was no longer “dark” and at this point it probably had begun to develop golden streaks, or ‘ears to hear’. It has to be brittle enough to be destroyed by hail and has begun to lighten in color (it is not “dark”). The seeds have produced enough dry material so it can be eaten parched. It has developed enough so that it will be harvest-ready 2-3 weeks later.” As the Barley is checked if it is ‘in the ear’, the Lord is once again calling his bride to examine herself based on His instructions and prompting, to ready herself thus to become ever more attentive and responsive to his calling through His Word and Spirit and go out to meet His son for his coming is near. This video and written material by Informedchristians.com are prepared to assist us in examining and readying ourselves. Counterfeit As always, Satan will attempt to mimic, negatively project and/or override the Lord’s marvelous astronomical displays and Biblical wedding typology with lying signs and wonders, binding people’s hearts, minds and emotions ever tighter to mass media covered geopolitical spectacles, ‘wars and rumors of war’, ‘bread and circus’ events as well as counterfeit religious and scientism rituals like the Hindu wedding ritual Maha Shivaratri yesterday. While many are still under Satan’s age old and ever widening and deepening deepening deception, we who have ‘ears to hear and eyes to see’ understand all the counterfeit can ultimately do, is affirm and give glory to the original. Blessings!

Dangerous Flash Flooding, Along With Severe Thunderstorms, Tornadoes in the South (FORECAST)

Published: Mar 8 2016 12:30 PM EST By Quincy Vagell weather.com

Tornadoes, Heavy Winds Reported

Meteorologist Danielle Banks discusses the current severe weather in the midwest and where it will be moving next. The threat of torrential rain is kicking into high gear, and will persist in parts of the South for the next several days, where over a foot of rain may trigger dangerous, life-threatening flash flooding. (MORE: Your Vehicle Can Be Biggest Danger In Flash Flooding) Among the cities that should be alert for potentially major flash flooding the next few days are Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Shreveport, Louisiana and Little Rock, Arkansas, and New Orleans. The flooding already kicked in Monday night, flash flooding west of Ft. Worth, Texas, swamped homes and forced water rescues. (MORE: Latest Damage Reports | Interactive Storm Reports Map) If that wasn't enough, severe thunderstorms and at least some tornadoes, are expected through at least Wednesday in some of the same parts of the southern Plains, Lower Mississippi Valley and Gulf Coast. An apparent tornado touched down near Tolar, Texas, southwest of Ft. Worth Tuesday morning. A squall line then surged through Ft. Worth packing a 66 mph gust at the Ft. Worth Meacham Airport and a gust to 72 mph at Interstate 820 and Blue Mound Road. Below is a breakdown of the flooding and severe weather threats the next several days followed by an explanation of what is causing the stormy weather. Flooding Threat The National Weather Service has issued flash flood watches parts of east and north Texas into southeast Oklahoma, most of Arkansas and western Lousiana. A "cutoff" low sits and spins over Mexico and Texas, keeping a stream of moisture pointed at the south-central states. Periods of rain and thunderstorms will take aim on parts of the southern Plains eastward to the Mississippi River Valley, northern Gulf Coast, Ohio Valley and Tennessee Valley. Persistent, slow-moving bands of rain and thunderstorms may ultimately drop a foot of rain or more in some of these areas, triggering dangerous, life-threatening, destructive flash flooding and river flooding. The area at highest risk includes parts of east and north Texas, southeast Oklahoma, Arkansas, western and northern Louisiana and southern Missouri. Potential cities: Dallas | Houston | Shreveport | Little Rock The flood threat may persist in parts of the Lower Mississippi Valley and Deep South into Friday. Flood Alerts Flood watches and warnings from the National Weather Service. Severe Weather Forecast Tuesday Scattered severe thunderstorms are anticipated in central and eastern Texas, much of Oklahoma, western Arkansas and western Louisiana through Tuesday into Tuesday night. Damaging winds, tornadoes, and large hail are possible. Tuesday's Thunderstorm Forecast The red shaded area shows where severe thunderstorms may develop. The orange area is where general thunderstorms are possible. Wednesday Severe thunderstorms may be less numerous than Tuesday, but still a potential particularly near the Texas and southwest Louisiana Gulf Coasts. These severe t-storms may occur in the morning, as well as the afternoon and evening. Damaging straight-line winds and tornadoes are still possible, both within bands of heavy rain and any discrete supercells.

Wednesday's Thunderstorm Forecast The red shaded area shows where severe thunderstorms may develop. The orange area is where general thunderstorms are possible. Slow-Moving Low Pressure = Flooding and Severe Weather A massive, slow-moving, southward dip in the jet stream will inch east across Mexico, then near the Gulf Coast, funneling deep, tropical moisture into parts of the South and Mississippi Valley, a rather unusual pattern for early March. In fact, atmospheric moisture values (known to meteorologists as "precipitable water") may near or top March records from the northern Gulf Coast into the Great Lakes, values last seen this time of year during the record-shattering March 2012 heat wave. These ingredients will come together for several bouts of thunderstorms and excessive rainfall from the Plains into the Mississippi Valley and surrounding areas over the next several days. (MORE: More Flooding in a Warming World) It appears that the upper level low will begin to finally pull away from the southern Plains this weekend, gradually lessening the threat for severe thunderstorms and flooding.

Preparing For The Worst Natural Disaster In History - How Everyone In America May Be Impacted When The Cascadia Subduction Zone Rips Apart - Full Cascadia Rising Exercise Scenario Document Here By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

With even a movie written about it, almost everyone has heard of the San Andreas fault in California though up until recently, the 700+ mile long Cascadia subduction zone further north had been the 'quake-maker we'd never heard of'. Sitting quietly without a massive quake for over 316 years since an earthquake on January 26th, 1700 caused a tsunami an ocean away in seaside villages in Japan and at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean where the North American plate meets the seabed, Cascadia went viral recently when we learned the 'really big one' could hit without a moments notice and when it did, tens of thousands of people would likely be killed with twice as many injured as an oceanwide path of destruction lays in its wake. We're well aware that the White House recently held a huge meeting to prepare for a future Cascadia quake and the Department of Defense is concerned enough about it that they will be participating in a massive drill later in June. Since we were also told that there is no way to predict when the next 'big one' will hit, we wanted to take a look at some of the reasons why nearly everybody in the country may be impacted by a Cascadia quake, even those on the East coast...a full continent away. The 182-page PDF from Oregon's government documenting the Cascadia Rising exercise (embedded in full below videos!) tells us that internet service nationwide might be disrupted by a Cascadia quake as undersea cables are ripped apart and we also learn that a complete failure of the electrical grid could trigger a chain reaction leading to failures in the electrical system not only along the West coast but in other locations throughout America as well. In such a catastrophic failure, some people could be forced to go without electricity for weeks or even months or more. On ANP, we've published many stories about what can happen when the electricity goes out for a lengthy period of time and whether via earthquake, EMP from the sun, cyber attack, attack upon the electrical grid or something else catastrophic, most Americans are completely dependent upon the grid and any long-term power outage can lead to the unthinkable. With banking systems and businesses now nearly completely dependent upon the internet and electricity to do business, any kind of outage that goes nationwide immediately impacts everybody who is still plugged into the matrix. We're also told here that the human response to a Cascadia subduction zone quake will be the largest response to any natural disaster in US history and as we see in the photograph below and learn in the linked story, the military and the DOD will be heavily involved in both the coordination and the response. From June 7th through June 10th, agencies from all across the government will be taking place in the massive Cascadia Rising drills. While a New Yorker magazine story from July of 2015 told us that if a Cascadia quake strikes, 'everything West of Interstate 5 will be toast', we also learned that Cascadia is now 'locked, loaded and ready to fire' but, unlike those living in small villages on Japan's coast back in 1700 on a dark winter night, those living in 2016 America may have some notice of impending doom....though not much. We also take a look below at several earthquake/tsunami simulations for a massive Cascadia quake as well as taking a look at what happened in 1700 when a Cascadia quake caused a tsunami in Japan as seen in the 1st video below. Showing us what happened the last time a massive quake struck that region, we see that a tsunami struck much of the land areas in the surrounding 'ring of fire' as a countless number were killed back then. Just think of the damage that would be caused now with millions more living on the planet and our infrastructure nearly completely dependent upon electricity As we're also told here, the big problem with the Cascadia subduction zone is the North American plate sits atop the Pacific plate and the Pacific plate will move up under the North American plate and in a sideways 'sheering' fashion as seen and explained in the photograph below. The scenarios which are outlined below photograph share several different viewpoints on a massive Cascadia quake scenario and none of them are good. What do scientists think will happen? A massive earthquake that would lay waste to thousands of homes and buildings, devastate the power grid and energy infrastructure, and even do things like causing the edge of the continent to drop by as much as 30 feet and liquefying solid ground. A mega-tsunami that would arrive onshore across the Northwestern coast within 15 minutes of the earthquake's strike, creating a "700-mile-long liquid wall" that would render the region "unrecognizable." The deaths of 13,000 people, or perhaps many more, as well as more than 1 million left homeless, and the need to provide food and water for more than 2 million for perhaps months to come. From Off The Grid News.: The state is “like an eight-and-a-half-month pregnancy, due any time now” for a major earthquake, Althea Rizzo, geology hazard coordinator for the Oregon Office of Emergency Management, said this month. From Gizmodo.: The Pacific Northwest is due for a continent-rending earthquake. Experts believe the odds of a Big One happening in the next half century are about one in three, the odds of a Very Big One roughly one in ten, and that, in either case, we are disastrously unprepared. From Michael Snyder at End of the American Dream.: Let us not forget that the Cascadia Subduction Zone sits directly along the Ring of Fire, and the Ring of Fire has started to become much more active in recent years. In addition, if the region starts to become more seismically active there is also a very real possibility that we could see a full-blown eruption of Mt. Rainier, which has been described as “the most dangerous mountain in America“. Let us hope that we have as much time as possible before our nation has to deal with such calamities, but the cold, hard truth is that we are certainly not helping matters by acting so wickedly. If we continue to do the same things that we have been doing, it is only a matter of time before the judgment of God comes to our land in a major way. We are killing millions of babies, harvesting their body parts and auctioning those body parts off to the highest bidder. To many Americans that may seem like “old news”, but I assure you that this is not “old news” to God.

At Secretive Meeting, Tech CEOs And Top Republicans Commiserate, Plot To Stop Trump

Karl Rove shared focus group findings that give hope to the GOP establishment

Huffington Post - March 8, 2016

Billionaires, tech CEOs and top members of the Republican establishment flew to a private island resort off the coast of Georgia this weekend for the American Enterprise Institute’s annual World Forum, according to sources familiar with the secretive gathering. The main topic at the closed-to-the-press confab? How to stop Republican front-runner Donald Trump. Apple CEO Tim Cook, Google co-founder Larry Page, Napster creator and Facebook investor Sean Parker, and Tesla Motors and SpaceX honcho Elon Musk all attended. So did Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), political guru Karl Rove, House Speaker Paul Ryan, GOP Sens. Tom Cotton (Ark.), Cory Gardner (Colo.), Tim Scott (S.C.), Rob Portman (Ohio) and Ben Sasse (Neb.), who recently made news by saying he “cannot support Donald Trump.” Along with Ryan, the House was represented by Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Fred Upton (Mich.), Rep. Kevin Brady (Texas) and almost-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), sources said, along with leadership figure Cathy McMorris Rodgers (Wash.), Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price (R-Ga.), Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (Texas) and Diane Black (Tenn.).

It’s déjà vu all over again: Romney-Ryan filed intention to run for presidency with FEC

Posted on March 8, 2016 by Dr. Eowyn | 15 Comments

Any person who intends or is considering running for the presidency of the United States of America must register with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) by filing an FEC Form 1. Created in 1974 by Congress as an amendment to the Federal Election Campaign Act, the FEC is an independent regulatory agency to regulate campaign finance legislation — “to disclose campaign finance information, to enforce the provisions of the law such as the limits and prohibitions on contributions, and to oversee the public funding of Presidential elections.” The FEC’s website discloses that one month and 8 days ago on January 31, 2016, Mitt Romney and House Speaker Paul Ryan — the GOP’s 2012 nominees for president and vice-president, respectively — had filed precisely FEC Form 1, indicating their intention, once again, to run for the presidency. Some of you may recall that in early January, there was news that Romney was weighing a White House run. As Politico reported, at a private meeting in New York on Jan. 8, 2016, Mitt Romney told a group of about 30 former donors that he is considering running for president, a major turnaround for because just a year ago he had categorically ruled out a 2016 run. According to one source, Romney said, “Everybody in here can go tell your friends that I’m considering a run.” At the time, Romney was prompted by his concerns about Jeb Bush’s candidacy. 23 days after his meeting with his longtime supporters, Romney filed Form 1 with the Federal Election Commission. Now that Bush has dropped out of the race, Romney switched his concerns to Donald Trump. A month after he had filed FEC Form 1, Romney and Ryan (joined by 2008 Republican presidential nominee Senator John McCain) publicly attacked Trump, calling him unfit for office and a danger for the nation and the Republican Party. (See “Why are they so afraid of Donald Trump?”) That’s all we need: yet another candidate to further divide and split the GOP field.

Iran fires missiles marked with ‘Israel must be wiped out’

Wednesday, 9 March 2016 | 29 Jamadil Awal 1437 AH

TEHRAN: Iran reportedly test-fired two ballistic missiles Wednesday with the phrase “Israel must be wiped out” written in Hebrew on them, a show of force by the Islamic Republic as US Vice President Joe Biden visited Israel. Such phrases have been emblazoned on missiles fired before by Iran, but this test comes as the country recently signed a nuclear deal with world powers, including America, and conducted another test the day before. Hard-liners in Iran’s military have fired rockets and missiles despite US objections since the deal, as well as shown underground missile bases on state television. There was no immediate reaction from Jerusalem, where Biden was scheduled to speak to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who strongly opposed the nuclear deal. The semiofficial Fars news agency offered pictures Wednesday it said were of the Qadr H missiles being fired. It said they were fired in Iran’s eastern Alborz mountain range to hit a target some 1,400 kilometers (870 miles) away off Iran’s coast into the Sea of Oman. The US Navy’s 5th Fleet, which patrols that region, declined to comment on the test. Fars quoted Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard’s aerospace division, saying the test was aimed at showing Israel that Iran could hit it. etc. and the news story continues.

Iran Defies US With Test Missiles

March 09, 2016 17:02 UTC

Iran said Tuesday it conducted ballistic missile tests to defy U.S. sanctions and to show its "deterrent power" and “ability to confront any threats.” The tests came two months after the United States imposed new sanctions against Iranians and companies with links to Iran’s missile program. Iranian state television reportedly showed a missile being fired from underground silo at night. The announcer said it was a medium-range Qiam-1 missile, according to Reuters. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC, is the security force under Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei. On its official website, it said Tuesday's test was "to show Iran's deterrent power and also the Islamic Republic's ability to confront any threat against the (Islamic) Revolution.” General Amir Ali Hajizadeh is the head of the IRGC’s space program. He said “the missile struck a target 700 kilometers away.” Last July, the U.S. and world powers reached an agreement with Iran on its nuclear activities. Iran agreed to remove most of its nuclear fuel and to avoid testing nuclear-capable missiles in exchange for the lifting of sanctions. After two Iranian missile tests last October, the U.S. announced new sanctions in January against Iranians and companies for helping Iran’s ballistic missile program. The U.S. said the tests violated a U.N. resolution. The resolution banned Iran from “any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology." Iran has always denied any link between its missile program and the disputed nuclear activity. I'm Mario Ritter.

Hamas Is Tunneling its Way Into Israel, Again

By Yardena Schwartz On 3/8/16 at 6:31 AM

Ofer Lieberman looks at the patch of earth that, on July 21, 2014, was the gaping mouth of a tunnel. On that day, 10 fighters from the Palestinian militant group Hamas traveled through the tunnel from the nearby Gaza Strip and emerged inside Israel dressed in Israeli army uniforms and equipped with guns and explosive belts. Four Israeli soldiers and all 10 Islamists were killed when the Israeli army confronted the militants. “It was horrible,” says Lieberman, the spokesman for the cooperative village Nir Am, which sits just over a mile from the fence that surrounds Gaza. The attack on Nir Am took place during that summer’s 50-day war between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza. Over the course of the war, 11 Israeli soldiers were killed in attacks by Palestinians emerging from tunnels that extended into Israeli territory. Israel discovered 32 such tunnels during the conflict. A cease-fire deal ended the war, but lulls in the conflict between militants in Gaza and Israel have not historically lasted long. And Hamas is once again tunneling under the fence that separates Gaza from Israel. Political analysts fear that the region could be edging once again toward war. etc. and the news story continues.

BREAKING NEWS - URGENT *** Russia Threatens to INVADE North Korea over nuclear threats

Post by Newsroom - Mar 09, 2016

North Korea’s provocative nuclear rhetoric has gotten so bad the Kremlin has officially warned continued nuclear threats could justify an invasion. The warning was issued in the form of a written statement from the Russian foreign ministry. It follows North Korea’s threat it would engage in a “preemptive and offensive nuclear strike” in reaction to the start of joint U.S.-South Korean war games Monday. “We consider it to be absolutely impermissible to make public statements containing threats to deliver some ‘preventive nuclear strikes’ against opponents,” said the statement, as translated by the Russian TASS news agency. “Pyongyang should be aware of the fact that in this way the DPRK [North Korea] will become fully opposed to the international community and will create international legal grounds for using military force against itself in accordance with the right of a state to self-defense enshrined in the United Nations Charter.” Russia also had harsh words for the U.S. and South Korea, condemning the “unprecedented” exercises. “The development of the situation on the Korean peninsula and around it is causing growing concern,” said a statement issued Monday. Russia actually shares a tiny border with North Korea as shown in the map below: More importantly, the ENTIRE country of Russia falls within the geographic range of North Korea's new Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles which, as claimed by Kim Jung Un just yesterday (08 March 2016) can now be equipped with miniaturized nuclear warheads. The range of those new missiles is shown on the map below: Now, not only has China cut the North Koreans loose from Chinese protection, Russia is now warning them to knock it off with the nuke threats too! This could go downhill very rapidly because this public rebuke of North Korea will be seen by them as an "insult to their sovereignty" or some such nonsense, and they'll likely go off the deep end and "warn" Russia. Which is the last mistake North Korea will ever make . . . . Vladimir Putin is not Barack Obama. Putin won't sit still for North Korea's threats.

ON A KNIFE-EDGE: US to deploy BOMBERS close to China border as tensions flare

THE US are set to deploy long-range bombers close to the Chinese border as tensions between the powerhouses reach boiling point.

By Charlie Peat PUBLISHED: 04:45, Wed, Mar 9, 2016 | UPDATED: 05:06, Wed, Mar 9, 2016

US officials are currently seeking to strike a deal with Australia that will see its military forces temporarily based in the North of the country, near to the fiercely disputed South China Sea. The highly contentious area is mostly claimed by Beijing but Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam have all staked claims in parts of the sea. Tensions between the US and China have already increased after the US Navy sailed near the disputed islands – pushing the limits of the Asian superpower. China then stoked the fires between the countries by deploying advanced missiles, fighters and radar equipment on islands in the South China Sea. US defence secretary Ash Carter last week warned of "specific consequences" if China takes "aggressive" action in the region. General Lori Robinson said the US will continue to patrol the disputed waters and called upon Australian allies to follow suit. She said: "We would encourage anybody in the region and around the world to fly and sail in international air space in accordance with international rules and norms.” General Robinson said the deployment of B-1 bombers and aerial tankers to Australia would “strengthen ties” between the US and Australia. She added: “It gives us the opportunity to strengthen the ties we already have with the Royal Australian Air Force and it gives the opportunity to train our pilots to understand the theatre and how important it is to strengthen our ties with our great allies, the RAAF.”

LaVoy Finicum shot 3 times as he reached for gun, investigators say

As Robert "Lavoy" Finicum powered his Dodge pickup over Devine Summit on the state highway north Finicum glanced over at the state trooper in the driver's seat as he went past. He pointed a finger at him, as if to say "I see you" and kept going. That likely was the moment Finicum realized he and his group wouldn't make the community meeting planned that evening in John Day. Less than 30 minutes later, Finicum was dead and four other leaders of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge takeover were in handcuffs. New and sharper details emerged Tuesday of what happened Jan. 26 along U.S. 395 as police released their investigation of the fatal confrontation. Until now, most of what was known came from a soundless surveillance video, a single statement from the FBI and reports from three witnesses who were passengers in Finicum's convoy. But a lengthy video shot inside Finicum's truck adds voice and sound to the tumultuous events as they unfolded that afternoon. Accounts from the state troopers and FBI agents who tried to arrest Finicum and police photographs also round out the picture. Police so far aren't releasing names of any of the officers involved. Back in January, Oregon State Police and the FBI worked for two days in their Burns command post to plan how to scoop up virtually all the central figures of the armed refuge takeover. Ammon Bundy, 40, of Emmett, Idaho, and about a dozen others had seized the refuge headquarters on Jan. 2. The main compound of the 187,757-acre bird sanctuary is nestled against sage-covered hills on the Oregon desert about 30 miles southeast of Burns. As the occupation stretched from days into weeks, Bundy and the other protesters moved freely back and forth to Burns and surrounding communities without interference by police. Police knew the leaders planned to travel to John Day in Grant County to the north on the only direct highway there – U.S. 395. They devised a traffic stop by state troopers to allow FBI agents to arrest the group on federal conspiracy charges. By midday, some members of the arresting team positioned themselves on Forest Service Road 2820, which branches east off the state highway toward a snow park near the summit of Devine Ridge. Another team set up roughly two miles north on the highway, prepared to act as a roadblock. Around 4:20 p.m., Finicum was first to pass the state police tactical van and two state police tactical pickups waiting on the Forest Service road. Next was the Jeep ferrying Ammon Bundy. Police fell in behind both vehicles, flipping on red and blue lights. Mark C. McConnell, 37, of Buckeye, Arizona, steered his Jeep to the edge of the highway while Finicum drove another several hundred yards before rolling to a stop straddling the highway center line. Bundy, McConnell and Brian D. Cavalier, 44, of Bunkerville, Nevada, gave up without trouble. One trooper later recalled to investigators that Bundy, his bodyguard and his driver were "almost being friendly" as they were arrested. Troopers and FBI agents who stopped Finicum's truck encountered a different response. At one point, Ryan W. Payne, 32, of Anaconda, Montana, the tactical leader of the refuge takeover, put both hands out the front passenger window. It looked as if he had something in his hands, worrying police that he had a weapon. A state trooper hit the truck with an orange 40mm round with a hard foam nose containing pepper spray. The strike prompted Payne to retreat. In the truck cab, Payne and Finicum debated their next move. Finicum wanted to run, according to Shawna J. Cox, 59, of Kanab, Utah, who was sitting in the back seat. Payne thought it wiser to surrender. He yelled to police that he was stepping out. "I do have a gun on my right hip," he said, and was told to step out anyway with his hands in the air. He was soon in handcuffs. Finicum over the next four minutes told police that he intended to drive on, according to video captured by Cox on her cellphone. Finicum repeatedly referred to Glenn Palmer, the Grant County sheriff who had earlier met with some of the occupation leaders and suggested authorities give in to the occupiers' demands to free an imprisoned pair of ranchers and for the FBI to leave the area. The sheriff was scheduled to be at the community meeting where Finicum and others were to talk about the Constitution and challenging federal ownership of public land. Palmer declined comment or to answer written questions after the news conference to announce the investigation results. "The sheriff is waiting for us," Finicum yelled out the driver's window to the officers and agents staged behind his truck. He puts his hands out the window and invited police to shoot. "Back down or you kill me now," he said. He repeated twice more that he was going to meet the sheriff. Payne had told police when he surrendered that women were among the passengers in the truck and they should be allowed out. The police apparently pressed Finicum to let that happen. He turned toward Cox and Victoria Sharp, the 18-year-old gospel singer sitting in the middle of the back seat. "Want out?" he asked. "What for?" Cox responded. "What are we getting out for?" Ryan Bundy, 43, of Mesquite, Nevada, seated behind Finicum with a .38-caliber pistol and two rifles within reach, yelled out the window: "Who are you?" Finicum echoed him. "Yeah, who are you?" "Oregon State Police" came the reply. "I'm going over to meet the sheriff in Grant County," Finicum said. Police continued demanding Finicum turn off the truck and surrender, according to officer statements to investigators. But they didn't move against those in the truck as they waited for a trooper posted at McConnell's Jeep to bring a launcher with multiple pepper spray rounds. Those in the truck talked about what to do next. "If we duck and you drive, what are they going to do?" Cox asked Finicum. "Try to knock us out?" He noted they still had "50 ass miles" to go to reach John Day. He turned up the volume on country music that had been playing on the radio. "Who can we call?" Bundy asked. "Sheriff Palmer," Finicum responded. As Bundy and Cox tried to get a cell signal, Finicum continued yelling at police. "You want a blood bath?" he asked. "I'm going to be laying down here on the ground with my blood on the street or I'm going to see the sheriff." He told police to back down and then told those in the truck, "I'm going to keep going." "Then we have to duck," Cox said. "Where's the guns?" Bundy asked. "You ready?" Finicum asked the group. "Go," said Cox. "Gun it." Finicum accelerated north on the highway, traveling at an estimated 70 mph on the mountain road with a state police van in pursuit. Less than a minute later, Finicum rounded a corner to find two FBI pickup trucks and one state police pickup facing him in the road. A state trooper at the roadblock feared Finicum would plow into the trucks, injuring or killing police posted there, he later told investigators. He fired three rounds from his AR-15, hitting the truck in the hood above the headlight, smashing off the driver's mirror and hitting the radiator. The truck was just 100 feet away when the trooper fired the last shot. "Hang on," Finicum said as he encountered the roadblock and the first bullet hit the truck. Another state trooper who had been posted along the highway edge had run for the woods as the truck approached to get out of the way, sinking into deep snow at one point. He recovered in time to make it to the protection of the tree line. An FBI agent also moved west off the road as the truck advanced. "Hang on," Finicum said a second time as he steered the truck to the left. The FBI agent who had just moved was now in the path of the truck. He dropped to the ground, bracing to be run over. Instead, Finicum's truck created a wave of snow that buried him and stalled before hitting the agent. Finicum instantly stepped out of the truck, his hands out to his sides at about shoulder height. Investigators concluded that an FBI agent on the highway clipped off two shots, one that went wild and one that pierced the truck roof and shattered the left rear passenger window. A shell fragment struck Bundy in the shoulder. The trooper who had made it to the tree line had drawn his revolver and now commanded Finicum to get on the ground. "Go ahead and shoot me," Finicum said. "Get on the ground," the trooper yelled back. Finicum continued yelling "Shoot me" and "You're going to have to shoot me." He turned his attention from the trooper in the woods to two troopers coming up behind him, including the one who had fired at the truck. As Finicum shifted direction, the trooper in the woods holstered his gun and drew out his Taser X2, which can be effective from 25 feet but works best at about 15 feet. Finicum at least twice reached with his right hand toward the inside of his left jacket, where he had a loaded Ruger SR9 semi-automatic pistol that had been a gift from his stepson. He then turned back toward the trooper approaching with the Taser. He again reached for his jacket. "It was consistent with drawing a handgun," the trooper with the Taser told investigators. "He's going for a gun and I can tell you right now, uh, I was very uncomfortable." He continued ordering Finicum to stop. "He had the drop on me at this point," the trooper said. One of the troopers who had been coming up behind Finicum saw the same motion – "consistent with grabbing a firearm" is how he described it to investigators. "I need to take action to stop him from being a threat" to the trooper with the Taser, he later told investigators. He fired two rounds, both striking Finicum in the back. At the same instant, another trooper nearby fired a single round into Finicum's back. Finicum fell in the snow while police turned their attention to those still in the pickup truck. Bundy, Cox and Sharp weren't clear what had happened. "Dammit," Cox said at the sound of gunfire. "Are they shooting him?" At that point, non-lethal sponge rounds, designed to stop but not kill people, can be heard striking the truck. Sharp yells "Oh my God" and shouts that she is a medic, apparently wanting to go to help Finicum. The cellphone recording makes clear none of the three saw Finicum shot. "Where the hell is Lavoy?" Cox asked. "I can't see," said Bundy. Fifty seconds after Finicum left his truck, the shooting was over.

Idaho pastor shooting: Suspect arrested outside the White House

By Faith Karimi and Steve Almasy, CNN Updated 2:32 AM ET, Wed March 9, 2016 |

(CNN) The Secret Service arrested a suspect in the shooting of an Idaho pastor after the man threw several items over the White House fence, authorities said. Kyle Andrew Odom, 30, was taken into custody without incident Tuesday night in Washington. His arrest came after he threw flash drives and other unknown objects over the White House fence, police said. Hazmat and bomb teams determined the items were nonhazardous, the Secret Service said.

Trump Could Put An End to Hillary Clinton Once and for All

Suffice it to say, that the bulk of the Patriot community stands in steadfast support of the Constitution, particularly, the Bill of Rights. Patriots expect the government to serve people over corporations and hold government officials accountable when they are guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. It is quite apparent that Cruz, Rubio and Kasich have failed miserably in this regard as all three candidates, in one way or another, are responsible for the mess that the country presently finds itself in. Clinton is the harbinger for all that is wrong with American politics. Sanders only appeals to Americans who want something for nothing and view government as their own personal third parent. By process of elimination, it is easy to see why Donald Trump should be, and would be, the people’s choice. However, this doesn’t answer the question, is Donald Trump truly an ally of the strong, conservative base in this country, known as the Patriot community? Trump On a Critical Patriot Issue Hillary Clinton is the most dangerous person in America. She is vulnerable. Trump could take her down, today, if he chose to do so. We don’t need Benghazi or the email scandal to do so. We only need to expose her relationship with criminal BLM. Trump has taken us half way there. Will he finish the job One of my readers recently sent me a published account of a story run by the Reno Gazette-Journal, which was published right before last month’s Nevada Republican Primary. The story was a collection of statements containing criticisms of the BLM and their heavy-handed ways when it comes to interacting with local ranchers and farmers. The statements were issued by none other than Donald Trump. In the article, Trump made the point that the BLM’s steadfast resistance to releasing land, in combination with Trump’s hot-button issue, namely the failure to enforce immigration laws, is “damaging the economy, lowering the standard of living and inhibiting natural economic growth.” As I perused what Trump wrote, I was hopeful that he would condemn Hillary Clinton for her illegal complicity involving the BLM, which amounted to treason against the American people. I had hoped that I would read that Trump would bemoan the needless and avoidable execution of an unarmed Lavoy Finicum for daring to challenge the BLM’s terrorist tactics against the lifeblood of the country, the farmers and the ranchers. Unfortunately, Trump did not address any of these critical issues, but this is what Trump did have to say about the BLM: “The BLM controls over 85 percent of the land in Nevada. In the rural areas, those who for decades have had access to public lands for ranching, mining, logging and energy development are forced to deal with arbitrary and capricious rules that are influenced by special interests that profit from the D.C. rule-making and who fill the campaign coffers of Washington politicians. Honest, hardworking citizens who seek freedom and economic independence must beg for deference from a federal government that is more intent on power and control than it is in serving the citizens of the nation.” In and around Clark County, the situation is even worse,” as Trump referred to the now infamous Bundy Ranch standoff in Bunkerville, Nevada. Trump did raise one salient point in the article when he stated that “Because the BLM is so reluctant to release land to local disposition in Nevada, the cost of land has skyrocketed and the cost of living has become an impediment to growth.” At least Trump covered the fraud issue involving the BLM and their pandering to special interests. However, he did not go far enough and Trump failed to make this issue of the young campaign, the issue that it should become. Mr. Trump, please allow me to show you how woefully short you came up in describing the BLM as a rogue, terrorist and organized crime organization. BLM Is an Accomplice to Murder If readers have not seen the enhanced copies of the video involving the execution of Lavoy Finicum, by the FBI at the behest of the BLM and it’s organized crime practices, please click here and be prepared to be outraged beyond belief. All Presidential candidates should be promising a complete investigation when they are elected. This is the case of an American being executed for defending his Fifth Amendment property rights. Clinton, Uranium One and the BLM Are Accomplices In Treason and Murder After each successive primary victory, Trump says that “Hillary Clinton will be easy to defeat in November”. And that “she may not be allowed to run”. Mr. Trump needs to stop dancing and speaking in generalities and tell the awakening public WHY she won’t be allowed to run. Clinton is a criminal in the highest degree. Many know about the emails. However, many do not know Clinton and her abject and undeniable treason when it comes to the BLM, Uranium One and treason against the people of the United States. Clinton Is Selling Uranium From Bundy and Hammond Ranches to Russians to Fund Presidential Campaign. The undeniable documentation, beginning with the establishment’s own New York Times, is overwhelming to this end. Conclusion Donald Trump could do America the favor of exposing this fraud and Clinton’s ultimate connections to treason by fermenting the transfer of nuclear materials to our enemies, the Russians. And for what purpose? In order to secure cash for her 2016 campaign. And as long as Attorney Loretta Lynch is in place, Clinton will never be prosecuted. If Mr. Trump is intent on telling it like it is, these BLM related issues are a perfect gateway to “Making America Great Again” by cleansing our souls through the lens of self-recrimination. Please Mr. Trump, put Hillary out of her misery. Congratulations to Mr. Trump for his resounding victories in Mississippi and Michigan last night in the Republican Primary. However, it is time that Mr. Trump took his justifiable outrage against the criminal establishment and use it to better educate the American people about what they should be fighting for. Thank you Mr. Trump for identifying the BLM as the criminal organization that they are. However, you are missing an opportunity to knock Clinton out of the race and put her in prison where she belongs. Mr. Trump, if you want to win November, this is your golden opportunity.

Breaking: TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR PLANT IS PUMPING POLLUTED WATER INTO BISCAYNE BAY

By Erin Elizabeth - March 9, 2016

Above: Photo I posted in my article in 2014 about this dangerous plant and radiation levels here in Florida! (Most available update 12 p.m.: FPL responded to the study, saying it needs more time to review the specific data but defending its efforts to protect Biscayne Bay. “Our top priority is the health and safety of the public, and there is no threat to the health and safety of the public,” says Bianca Cruz, an FPL spokeswoman, reports Miami New Times.) When Florida Power & Light finalized plans to expand nuclear reactors at Turkey Point three years ago, critics like us weren’t happy (we wrote about this in 2014!). The nuclear plant, which is currently on environmentally fragile land, would threaten the ecosystem if production increased. Sadly, we were right; Tuesday morning, the county released the results of a study they did on whether Turkey Point has been leaking wastewater into Biscayne Bay (I know I don’t have to tell you how dangerous this is). County water monitors found levels of tritium (a radioactive isotope) at more than 200 times the normal level, in the bay water. This is another blow for Florida Power & Light who recently lost a state court ruling (last month) when a judge found they had failed to prevent hundreds of thousands of gallons of wastewater from seeping into the bay. From the Miami New Times article: “‘This is one of several things we were very worried about,’ says South Miami Mayor Philip Stoddard, who is also a biological sciences professor at Florida International University. ‘You would have to work hard to find a worse place to put a nuclear plant, right between two national parks and subject to hurricanes and storm surge.'” Local government officials are scrambling to figure out just how threatened the Bay is currently. “I was shocked to read this,” says Commissioner Xavier Suarez, who in a letter demanded answers from FPL “by the end of the day”, reports Miami New Times. State Rep. Jose Javier Rodriguez feels that state regulators haven’t taken this issue seriously for years, and have therefore put people and the environment in serious danger. At the center of the issue is a system of canals surrounding the plant in Miami-Dade. The canals circulate water through the plant to help leach heat off the reactors which must be constantly cooled in order to avoid meltdowns. When FPL was preparing to expand their reactors in 2013, critics warned that relying on the canals was a mistake; environmentalists argued that the hot, salty canal water would inevitably leak back into Biscayne Bay and the Everglades. In two years, heat levels in the canals have spiked and salty water has been found as far as four miles inland, through groundwater. It is unclear whether the elevated tritium levels are dangerous to people or wildlife at their current concentrations, so more studies need to be done. But what is known is that the hot, salty water is a huge problem for the delicate ecosystems in the Everglades and in Biscayne National Park. Mayor Stoddard believes at this point that there are only two solutions: build new cooling towers and get rid of the canals or shut down the plant. More from the article: “FPL spokeswoman, points out the agency reached an accord with the county last October. In the agreement, FPL promises to clean up its act by pumping wastewater into a deep aquifer, among other steps. ‘We’ll continue to comply with regulatory agreement we reached with the county in October,’ Cruz says. Cruz also emphasized that FPL has collected its own data on impacts to Biscayne Bay and has seen no indication of a larger pollution problem (Oh I’m sure). ‘We’ve collected this data for many years, and this data has reviewed by independent scientists,’ Cruz says. ‘We’re going to continue to work closely with regulatory agencies.'” Since we’ve already been concerned about this AND reported on it two years ago, we will continue to watch this issue closely and keep you informed.

Columbia River flowing with hormone-disrupting, cancer-causing flame retardant chemicals, scientists warn

Wednesday, March 09, 2016 by: Julie Wilson staff writer

(NaturalNews) Flowing through the Pacific Northwest, the Columbia River Basin is known for its magnitude, as it empties more water into the Pacific Ocean than any other river in North and South America. Known for its plentiful salmon population, which has declined dramatically since the early 1900s, the river supplies life to countless plants, animals, fish, birds and insects. The river holds economic viability, as it generates hydroelectric power, but is also sacred to tribal fisheries, offering scenic and recreational value. However, under current conditions, its beauty might not be sustainable, as corporations and urbanization continue to erode and pollute nature. For decades, scientists have detected an increase in a variety of chemical contamination in the Basin, threatening vulnerable wildlife. The most widespread pollutants in the Basin are mercury, DDT, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and fire retardants, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 2009 State of the River Report for Toxics. Until recently, the increasing presence of flame retardants in nature has puzzled scientists, but a new study spearheaded by a Washington environmental advocacy group finally provides some answers. The peer-reviewed study published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology found "that flame retardants are sloughing off household products such as couches and TVs and collecting on people's clothing, washing out in the laundry and passing through wastewater treatment plants into local waterways," reports Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB). Flame retardants "sloughing" off furniture, electronics and appliances are ending up in the environment and sickening wildlife The results bring a whole new meaning to "dirty laundry," says the Washington Toxics Coalition, which tested household dust as well as laundry wash-water from 20 homes in Longview and Vancouver, Washington. Samples were also taken from incoming and outgoing water from two wastewater treatment plants that empty into the Columbia River. Flame retardants were detected in all three of the samples, reports confirm. This study is the first to connect the river's toxic chemicals to people's clothing. "Toxic flame retardants are hitchhiking on our clothes and literally coming out in the wash," said Erika Schreder, the study's lead author and science director for the coalition. "This study demonstrates for the first time a key way that toxic flame retardants found in our homes are transported to outdoor environments." Schreder's investigation discovered 21 different fire retardants in the household dust that was tested, and 18 in laundry wash-water. Dated and insufficient equipment prevents some wastewater treatment plants from filtering out the chemicals, allowing them to eventually enter into the environment. Based on existing chemical levels in nature, scientists estimate that 1 to 4 percent of the annual production of flame retardants is leaching from consumer products and polluting waterways, reports OPB. Some of the species adversely affected by these contaminants include juvenile salmon, bass, mountain whitefish and predatory birds like bald eagles, as well as otters, mink and shellfish. Washington Toxics Coalition fighting for ban on flame retardants Exposure to flame retardants is also a problem for people, with some of them being carcinogenic. Motor skills, learning, memory and behavior can all be affected following exposure, as well as the reproductive system. While one class of fire retardants called PBDEs (for polybrominated diphenyl ethers) was taken off the market due to health concerns, another chemical mixture called TDCIPP, or "chlorinated tris," has replaced it, which is also linked to disrupting reproductive systems, the Environmental Working Group reports. Washington Toxics Coalition is working with the state legislature to pass a ban on the chemicals, preventing future products containing fire retardants from entering the market. While the measure passed the House with a bipartisan vote of 72-25, ultimately pressure from the chemical industry prevented it from moving past the Senate. However, Gov. Inslee reportedly proposed a "toxics-reduction package" that would phase out several chemicals responsible for inflicting harm on wildlife.

The Department of Homeland Security Has Grown Into A Monster Which Now Preparing For ”MASS CIVIL BREAKDOWN”

The Department of Homeland Security is spending millions of dollars in preparation for a “Mass Civil Breakdown,” usiAmong my questions, I asked: “Does the US Department of Defense see protest movements and social activism in different parts of the world as a threat to US national security? If so, why? Does the US Department of Defense consider political movements aiming for large scale political and economic change as a national security matter? If so, why? Activism, protest, ‘political movements’ and of course NGOs are a vital element of a healthy civil society and democracy – why is it that the DoD is funding research to investigate such issues?” Minerva’s programme director Dr Erin Fitzgerald said “I appreciate your concerns and am glad that you reached out to give us the opportunity to clarify” before promising a more detailed response. Instead, I received the following bland statement from the DoD’s press office: Also read: When The Apocalypse Finally Does Happen, How Will Society Survive And What Will It Look Like? “The Department of Defense takes seriously its role in the security of the United States, its citizens, and US allies and partners. While every security challenge does not cause conflict, and every conflict does not involve the US military, Minerva helps fund basic social science research that helps increase the Department of Defense’s understanding of what causes instability and insecurity around the world. By better understanding these conflicts and their causes beforehand, the Department of Defense can better prepare for the dynamic future security environment.” Who is this mysterious enemy that the U.S. Government is planning to fight? Over the last couple of years, the federal government has spent billions upon billions of dollars studying civil unrest. In fact, the federal government has even built multimillion dollar mock U.S. cities to train for what they say are “problems that we don’t even know we have yet.” While the government may want the public to believe this money is being spent to “secure the homeland” from foreign attacks, a disturbingly large amount of money seems to have been allocated towards fighting U.S. citizens. Even scarier, is how the government has managed to build its own domestic army without a single person in Washington D.C. saying a word. The Department of Homeland Security now has over 240,000 full-time employees, with a budget of over $61 billion dollars a year – pretty incredible considering this agency didn’t even exist prior to 9/11/2001. Started under George Bush, DHS was established to prevent terror attacks in the United States. But under this new administration, the agency has grown into a monster which now oversees the U.S. Coast Guard, Customs and Border Protection, Secret Service, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) – all of whom now have heavily armed SWAT teams and massive amounts of firearms and ammunition. Also read: 12 Tips to Survive The Next Economic Collapse and The Beginning of the Next Great Depression To make matters worse, earlier this month the Obama administration actually reinstated a federal task force that’s mandate is to go after U.S. citizens who have anti-government views and “racial prejudice.” This drew harsh criticism from even those who normally support this administration, with the ACLU saying they have major “concerns that it could be a sweeping mandate to monitor and collect controversial speech.” The Domestic Army/Police force: The formation of a Civilian National Security Force During the 2008 presidential campaign, then Candidate Obama said something in a speech that got very little attention at the time. While speaking to a crowd of supporters, Obama said, “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”ng universities to study how the U.S. military can respond to civil unrest.

The government program, called the “Minerva Research Initiative,” which started in 2008, became public when The Guardian revealed details of the program. The multi-million dollar project is designed to help the U.S. Government put down civil disturbances by targeting political movements, identifying political activists and even using social media sites like Twitter to identify and target “peaceful activities and protest movements.” According to the Guardian, the Minerva program has $75 million in government funds allocated over five years for social and behavioral science research. This year alone it has been allocated a total budget of $17.8 million by US Congress. I contacted the project’s principal investigator, Prof Maria Rasmussen of the US Naval Postgraduate School, asking why non-violent activists working for NGOs should be equated to supporters of political violence – and which “parties and NGOs” were being investigated – but received no response. Similarly, Minerva programme staff refused to answer a series of similar questions I put to them, including asking how “radical causes” promoted by peaceful NGOs constituted a potential national security threat of interest to the DoD.

This 4,000-year old financial indicator says that a major crisis is looming

Simon Black March 8, 2016 Sydney, Australia

Over 4,000 years ago during Sargon the Great’s reign of the Akkadian Empire, it took 8 units of silver to buy one unit of gold. This was a time long before coins. It would be thousands of years before the Lydians in modern day Turkey would invent gold coins as a form of money. Back in the Akkadian Empire, gold and silver were still used as a medium of exchange. But the prices of goods and services were based on the weight of metal, and typically denominated in a unit called a ‘shekel’, about 8.33 grams. For example, you could have bought 100 quarts of grain in ancient Mesopotamia for about 2 shekels of silver, a weight close to half an ounce in our modern units. Both gold and silver were used in trade. And at the time the ‘exchange rate’ between the two metals was fixed at 8:1. Throughout ancient times, the gold/silver ratio kept pretty close to that figure. During the time of Hamurabbi in ancient Babylon, the ratio was roughly 6:1. In ancient Egypt, it varied wildly, from 13:1 all the way to 2:1. In Rome, around 12:1 (though Roman emperors routinely manipulated the ratio to suit their needs). In the United States, the ratio between silver and gold was fixed at 15:1 in 1792. And throughout the 20th century it averaged about 50:1. But given that gold is still traditionally seen as a safe haven, the ratio tends to rise dramatically in times of crisis, panic, and economic slowdown. Just prior to World War II as Hitler rolled into Poland, the gold/silver ratio hit 98:1. In January 1991 as the first Gulf War kicked off, the ratio once again reached 100:1, twice its normal level. In nearly every single major recession and panic of the last century, there was a sharp rise in the gold/silver ratio. The crash of 1987. The Dot-Com bust in the late 1990s. The 2008 financial crisis. These panics invariably led to a gold/silver ratio in the 70s or higher. In 2008, in fact, the gold/silver ratio surged from below 50 to a high of roughly 84 in just two months. We’re seeing another major increase once again. Right now as I write this, the gold/silver ratio is 81.7, nearly as high as the peak of the 2008 financial crisis. This isn’t normal. In modern history, the gold/silver ratio has only been this high three other times, all periods of extreme turmoil—the 2008 crisis, Gulf War, and World War II. This suggests that something is seriously wrong. Or at least that people perceive something is seriously wrong. There are so many macroeconomic and financial indicators suggesting that a recession is looming, if not an all-out crisis. In the US, manufacturing data show that the country is already in recession (more on this soon). Default rates are rising; corporate defaults in the US are actually higher now than when Lehman Brothers went bankrupt back in 2008. These defaults have put a ton of pressure on banks, whose stock prices are tanking worldwide as they scramble to reinforce their balance sheets against losses. I just had a meeting with a commercial banker here in Sydney who told me that Australian regulators are forcing the bank to increase its already plentiful capital reserves by over 40% within the next several months. This is an astonishing (and almost impossible) order. The regulators wouldn’t be doing that if they weren’t getting ready for a major storm. So even the financial establishment is planning for the worst. Good times never last forever, especially with governments and central banks engineering artificial prosperity by going into debt and printing money. These tactics destroy a financial system. And the cracks are visibly expanding. So while the gold/silver ratio isn’t any kind of smoking gun, it is an obvious symptom alongside many, many others. Now, the ratio may certainly go even higher in the event of a major banking or financial crisis. We may see it touch 100 again. But it is reasonable to expect that someday the gold/silver ratio will eventually fall to more ‘normal’ levels. In other words, today you can trade 1 ounce of gold for 80 ounces of silver. But perhaps, say, over the next two years the gold/silver ratio returns to a more historic norm of 55. (Remember, it was as low as 30 in 2011) This means that in the future you’ll be able to trade the 80 ounces of silver you acquired today for 1.45 ounces of gold. The final result is that, in gold terms, you earn a 45% “profit”. Essentially you end up with 45% more gold than you started with today. So bottom line, if you’re a speculator in precious metals, now may be a good time to consider trading in some gold for silver.

Will Black Lives Matter Team Up With ISIS To Try To Stop The Republican Convention? ISIS Warnings Of 'Enormous And Spectacular Attacks' This Summer Coincide With Depraved Fantasy In Hollywood's 'The Purge: Election Year'

Why Would 'Black Lives Matter' Put Out A 'Riot Gear Flyer' In Arabic For The Republican Convention Protests?

March 8, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

The UK has just issued a massive terrorism warning as British police prepare for potentially 'enormous and spectacular' attacks from ISIS in the UK as ISIS moves into its 'next natural phase' we are told. Warning us that ISIS had moved on from a 'narrow focus' of police and military as the 'symbols of state' to 'something much broader', the assistant commissioner of London's Metropolitan police also tells us that the terror group has 'big ambitions' and those 'big ambitions' include attacking the Western lifestyle as a whole. With these latest threats in the UK combined with recent threats made by ISIS to 'disrupt the election process in the US', Allen B West tells us that the UK has one huge advantage in the fight against ISIS over America; a leader who will call it what it is...Islamic terrorism. Meanwhile in America, we continue to get set up for a massive fall as huge numbers of people continue to flood into the country, many of them coming in illegally, while govt does little to nothing to stop them or find out if they have bad intentions, potentially putting every American at risk. Interestingly enough and likely not by surprise, we also are seeing a new twist in what authorities in America may soon have to deal with this summer as a Black Lives Matter activist has put out a new flyer on 'proper riot gear' in both English and Arabic. Why are they putting this flyer out in Arabic and not Spanish, French, Russian or one of the other huge number of languages spoken by immigrants here in America? Is this a sign that BLM is attempting to lure in ISIS terrorists? Should this be seen as a huge red flag as the same BLM group threatens to shut down the Republican convention with protests? Interestingly enough, both ISIS and BLM are seeking to disrupt our legal election process. According to West, the guide comes from a 26-page pamphlet originally produced in Egypt in 2011 to assist protesters seeking the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak. West adds: The guide was posted by Ashley Yates, who uses the handle @BrownBlaze on Twitter. Breitbart says Yates is a prominent protest organizer in the Black Lives Matter movement and an advocate for violence. Is Yates’ post just a tweak at all the “Islamophobes” out there or an open invitation to activists with a completely different agenda? We’ll have to wait ‘til July to find out. etc. and the news story continues.

For you have not a leader of this country who follows my word or ways. They have gone the ways of the antichrist system and forsaken the religion of their forefathers of days gone by. etc..

Gen. Boykin: First Transgender Man Enters My Daughter's Bathroom Won't Have to Worry About Surgery

By Michael W. Chapman | March 8, 2016 | 11:28 AM EST

Commenting on anti-Christian attacks in America and the radical LGBT agenda that says transgender men can use women’s bathrooms, Lt. Gen. (ret.) William “Jerry” Boykin, former chief of U.S. Army Special Operations Command and a top member of Delta Force, said Christians need to fight this “evil,” and added that the first transgender man that walks into his daughter’s bathroom won’t have to worry about sex-change surgery. “I’ve already said, and somebody will be recording this and this’ll be on YouTube before it’s all over with,” said Boykin at The Awakening 2016 conference. “But I will tell you what: the first man that walks in my daughter’s bathroom, he ain’t going to have to worry about surgery.” Earlier in his remarks, Boykin said, “Where is the Christian world today? Where are the Christians of America today? They should be flocking to people like Kim Davis.” “They should be flocking to the city council and say, ‘No, you’re not going to let a man go in my daughter’s bathroom just because he feels like a man today,’ said the lieutenant general. “Where are the Christians that are standing up to this kind of evil?” he said. As he continued, “And I’ve already said, and somebody will be recording this and this’ll be on YouTube before it’s all over with. But I will tell you what: the first man that walks in my daughter’s bathroom, he ain’t going to have to worry about the surgery.” “That’s not right,” said Boykin. “That is not right. It’s not right. It’s ungodly. But it’s also just unnatural. This is crazy. Where are the Christians that are standing up?” Lt. Gen. Boykin served in the U.S. Army from 1971 to 2007. He was one of the founding members of Delta Force. He headed the U.S. Army Special Forces Command, and participated in Operation Urgent Fury, Operation Just Cause, and Operation Restore Hope. He has been awarded the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star, and two Purple Hearts, among other military honors. “Jerry” Boykin currently serves as the executive vice president of the Family Research Council.

Market Meltdown Already Underway-Gregory Mannarino

By Greg Hunter On March 9, 2016 In Market Analysis 8 Comments

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com

Trader/analyst Gregory Mannarino says forget about the recent market rally, the markets “have nowhere to go but down.” Mannarino explains, “According to the charts, something big has already begun. This is not a ‘maybe this will happen,’ this has already started. The market averages have gained over the past few weeks, but we had an abysmal start to the year. The only reason we have seen this stock market rally is on speculation of crude oil. They will not allow crude oil to drop anymore because it is a currency. There are too many things linked to it. . . . Nothing has changed fundamentally. What does this mean? This has been a fool’s rally.” Mannarino also says, “The world powers are trying to get together to stop this. It can’t be stopped. They have inflated this bubble in debt, and that is the greatest threat to humankind. . . . People can’t say when is the crash coming? It’s already here. It’s already begun.” The data that Mannarino sees it’s just screaming “crash.” Mannarino contends, “What it is screaming is the market wants to do its sole job, and that is to establish fair market value for assets. It’s something that it has not been allowed to do since runaway central banks have taken over this entire thing by manipulating the debt market, the biggest market of them all. They have been successful in creating massive distortions across the spectrum. I am talking currencies, housing, crude oil, derivatives and the stock market. This will correct to fair market value. It’s a mathematical certainty, and it’s already begun.” On silver, Mannarino says it has turned and is on its way up—way up. Mannarino says, “It’s broken out. I would expect a slight pullback . . . then we are going to get a much higher move. . . . It’s in an early corrective stage, and it’s going to be epic moving forward. The same thing has happened for gold.” Mannarino points out the stunning move in gold over the last three months as proof of a gold breakout. Mannarino thinks it will be especially bad for people not awake or prepared. Mannarino says, “This is going to get a lot worse. On an individual level, we have to understand what we have to do for ourselves and our families to get through this. No matter what is happening on the political front, there is no stopping what is coming. . . . We’re going back to a two-tier society. We are seeing it happen. The middle class is being systematically destroyed. We are going to have a feudal system of the haves and the have nots. People walking around blindly thinking it’s going to be okay are going to suffer the worst.” Mannarino’s advice is to “Bet against this debt and that means hold hard assets; also, become your own central bank. Their system has already failed and it’s coming apart.” Join Greg Hunter as he goes One-on-One with Gregory Mannarino of TradersChoice.net.

Deflation Is Coming To The Auto Industry As Used Car Prices Drop, Off-Lease Deluge Looms

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/08/2016 17:46 -0500

Last week, we learned that vehicle leasing as a percentage of monthly light-vehicle sales hit a record in February at 32.3%. In other words, a third of the over 1 million cars and light trucks “sold” during the month were leases, according to J.D. Power. This is indicative of what is now a long-term trend. Have a look at the following chart from WSJ, which shows that since 2009, the share of monthly auto leases as a percentage of vehicle sales well more than tripled: So what does that mean for dealers? Deflation. And what does that mean for the automakers? Hefty losses. Nothing about this is hard to understand. You get a supply glut causing pricing assumptions for your existing inventory to prove wildly optimistic and you end up with giant writedowns. This has happened before. "The auto industry expanded the use of leasing in the mid-1990s, helping to fuel retail sales of new vehicles," WSJ recounts. "Eventually, a glut of off-lease cars sent resale values down and auto lenders who had bet residuals would remain high ended up racking up billions of dollars in losses, having to sell the cars for much less than they anticipated." Right. Nothing difficult to grasp about that. But the especially silly thing about the dynamic with auto leases is that it was the dealers and the automaker-affiliated financing companies that made the leases in the first place. In other words, it's not like this was some supply shock that couldn't have been forecast ahead of time. In fact, they knew exactly when the off-lease deluge would start, so it's not entirely clear why they would have set optimistic residual assumptions. Anyway, the cracks are already starting to show. The Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index posted its largest Y/Y decline in over two years last month, falling -1.4% and -1.5% M/M. We're now 3.5% below the peak. "All else equal, it puts pressure on lease residuals - though we note most fincos had assumed declining used vehicle prices in their lease writing," Goldman said, earlier today. "Second, while improving inventory acquisition cost for the dealers, it may put downward pressure on the value of existing dealer inventories, which can be negative for used margins." Well yes, declining used vehicle prices "may" be a "negative for used margins" - in fact that's almost a tautology. And of course falling used car prices means pressure on new car prices as well, which would be a shock to America's booming auto market. Obviously, the scariest part about all of the above is that consumers still have the pedal to the metal (pun fully intended) when it comes to leases, which means there's no end in sight to the off-leases and thus no way to determine, at this juncture, how big the residual writedown wave and deflationary auto industry calamity will ultimately end up being. So, you know... "buckle up." Bonus chart: largest used car price decline for any February since 2008

Central Banks Are About To Leave Fiat Addicted Stock Markets In Agony

Wednesday, 09 March 2016 03:44 Brandon Smith

Many investors today are not very familiar with market history and tend to live only in the day-to-day mainstream narrative while watching little red and green graphs move up and down. This is not so much an issue in a relatively stable economic environment. The problem is, today we live in the most unstable economic conditions possible. These investors and analysts are simply not aware that some of the most exciting stock rallies occur during the most volatile crises, and so they interpret every rally of a few days to a few weeks as a signal for recovery. However, in this kind of fiscal environment, all the gains made in a few weeks can be lost in moments. After the Great Depression began to take hold in U.S. markets, massive rallies unfolded over the span of weeks and sometimes months, only to end in a collapse to even lower depths. For example, in 1930 the Dow Jones enjoyed historic rallies twice, gaining 48% only to lose it all, then gaining more than 16% and crashing down to a 50% loss for the year. Each consecutive year there were multiple rallies of more than 25% and each time they disintegrated. By 1932 stocks were only worth approximately 20% of what they were worth in 1929. Bear market rallies continued to give false hope to investors and the public throughout the crisis, and mainstream banks and economists continued to exploit such rallies to capitalize on those false hopes. I mention this to put our markets today in perspective. Mainstream analysts and some banking moguls are already declaring a reversion of the instability that was launched at the beginning of this year due to the spike in stocks over the past three weeks. I explained the reason behind this comparatively short term rally in my article “Markets Ignore Fundamentals And Chase Headlines Because They Are Dying.” In desperation, the investment world has placed all its hopes on renewed stimulus measures this March by China and the European Central Bank. They have also made bets that the Fed will not raise rates again until the end of this year, if they raise rates again at all. I believe the next two weeks will be very telling in terms of how the rest of the year in markets will progress. If mainstream analysts and investors are placing faith in further central bank intervention, they may be greatly disappointed. Every action of the central bankers this year has indicated a shift away from open intervention. The taper of quantitative easing (QE) has run its course and no new QE has been announced since. The rate hikes were launched in December despite all traditional logic to the contrary and now, Fed officials appear to be staying on track for more hikes in the near term. Kansas City Fed President Esther George told Bloomberg that a fed rate hike in March should “absolutely remain on the table.” San Francisco Fed President John Williams said there has been “no substantial change” in his view of the economy or the rate hikes and that said rate hikes will likely continue as planned. Goldman Sachs argues that there will only be “three” more rate hikes this year, rather than four, although, this is three more rate hikes than the investment world was asking for. Fed statements have given little clue as to the timing of the rate hikes, but all fed statements have so far presented an attitude that they plan to “stay the course.” For now, stock markets do not want to accept this reality. I believe that the Fed will be raising rates again in the near term. I believe there is a possibility for the fed to surprise with a rate hike at their meeting this March 15th and 16th. If this does not occur, the Fed will likely hint of a hike in June in their press statements. Another hike so soon (or even the threat of an assured hike) will absolutely strangle any market gains made in the past few weeks. Another date to watch out for will be the March 10th meeting of the European Central Bank. All eyes are on renewed ECB stimulus; not only renewed stimulus, but stimulus measures vastly beyond what the ECB has initiated in the past. I am not sure why investors’ expectations are so high for the ECB to save the day. The last time this kind of exuberance hit stock markets over a European stimulus package was in December of last year, and the ECB dashed all those hopes into the dirt with a mediocre response. This aided directly in the stock market volatility that came in January and February. So, the markets are praying for the ECB to “do it right this time.” I highly doubt the ECB's eventual decision will satisfy the unrealistic expectations of the investment community. In fact, I believe the central bank will offer little or nothing, and stocks will come crashing down just as they did after the December meeting. It wasn’t long ago that the entire financial universe was focused on whether China would intervene in their own markets, either with more stimulus or by arresting more investors that were betting against their stocks. The days of outright Chinese stimulus appear to be over as reports come in that the National People’s Congress concluded without any mention of large scale action to artificially support the Chinese economy. This should not be a surprise to anyone who was paying attention; China’s president warned in January that more economic stimulus is “not the answer to the nation’s challenges.” So, what does this mean? Well, first and foremost, it shows that the attitude of central bankers is moving away from intervention. As I have stated many times in the past, actions like the Fed taper of QE3 and the rate hikes only make sense if central banks are planning to ALLOW the markets to decline. The rate hike meetings, stimulus meetings, and the fact that they allow investor conjecture on stimulus to continue without much official contradiction, helps international financiers to control the speed at which this crash occurs. But the fact remains that they are not acting to stop the crash, nor will they act. There are no fundamental economic indicators that are positive enough to support a market recovery or an economic recovery. All moves in stocks are based on nothing but the delusions of fiat addicted stock players waiting for more printing to feed their habit of “buying the dip” without having to think strategically and educate themselves on sound investments. That is to say, investors have become addicted to central bank manipulation of markets, but now the central banks are cutting off their supply of smack. Where is this all going? I have mentioned in past articles the tendency of elitists to warn the public of coming economic collapse, but these warnings are always far too late for anyone to do much to prepare. They do this because they KNOW that a crisis is coming. They know a crisis is coming because THEY created the circumstances which are causing it. The money elites inject warnings into the media not to help the public, or to encourage positive solutions. Rather, they offer these warnings so that after the crash they can present themselves to the public as “good Samaritans,” or fortune tellers who “tried to save us.” They are, of course, neither of these things. The Bank for International Settlements, the central bank of central banks, has released yet another dire warning into the mainstream, stating that “official” global debt is now 200 percent of GDP and that this debt is unsustainable. They have also warned of a “gathering storm” and the “loss of faith in central banks” as 2016 moves forward. On top of this, none other than Lord Jacob Rothschild has released his own cautionary letter on the global economy, stating that we are now “in the eye of the storm.” Why are central banks allowing a controlled demolition of our economy to take place instead of propping up and manipulating markets as they have for the past few years? You can read my many articles on the globalist endgame for a detailed explanation, but to summarize – problem, reaction, solution. International financiers want a completely centralized global economic structure, including a single currency system, the eventual removal of physical currency to be replaced with more easily controlled digital currency, and ultimately a central authority for global economic governance. In the pursuit of a “New World Order,” they must destroy the structure of the “old world.” Covertly engineer an economic problem, get the masses to beg you to save them from that problem, then offer them the solution you always intended to give them. Our current crisis, what the International Monetary Fund calls the “global economic reset,” has only just begun. Though sometimes we must read between the lines or connect a few dots, in most cases the banking elites tell us exactly what they are going to do before they do it. It’s time we start listening, stop buying into the day-to-day hype and hopes of false recovery, and prepare accordingly.

Major Meat Company Goes Antibiotic-Free After Charged with 33 Counts of Animal Cruelty

But will this help fix the rampant animal cruelty?

by Christina Sarich Posted on March 8, 2016

Largely in response to consumer demand, Tyson will be sourcing their pork meat from pigs raised without antibiotics. This could mean, by default, that Tyson’s pigs will be treated better. We shall see. [1]

This is a new trend, it seems, since just last year mega-companies like McDonald’s promised to move away from chicken raised with antibiotics, and would only use cage-free eggs. Though this is not the same thing as humane treatment of animals used in agriculture, it is a move in the right direction. Antibiotic-Free, but Riddled with Animal Cruelty Recently, Tyson was charged with 33 counts of animal cruelty when a Mercy for Animals activist filmed a video during a routine work day at a plant in Carthage, Mississippi. Affidavits were filed in a Leake county Justice Court against Tyson and 6 of the company’s workers. Here is a link to a video showing the cruel treatment. Warning: it has graphic content. Tyson made the following comments about the video that was taken: “We’re appalled by the actions shown in this video and have been investigating a claim of animal mistreatment in this area of the plant since late last week. We have already terminated two of the workers shown in the video, who were clearly in violation of the company’s animal handling policy. Mercy for Animals has reportedly submitted a misdemeanor complaint with county officials over this matter, however, to our knowledge no criminal charges have been filed by any government agency. We believe proper animal handling is an important moral and ethical obligation. Everyone who works with live animals in our plants – including the person who secretly shot this video – is trained in proper animal handling and instructed to immediately report anything they believe is inappropriate. Workers are encouraged to report bad behavior to their supervisor as well as the Tyson Foods compliance and ethics hotline. “ The National Resource Defense Council says that 80 percent of antibiotics sold in the US are meant for farm animals, not humans, but they still contribute to antibiotic resistance in us. Most of these antibiotics aren’t even given to animals that are sick, but are used in their feed every day to counteract poor living conditions and a less-than-pristine environment that might promote sickness.

Adam Dick March 7, 2016

(RPI) Expect the indictment of former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or one or more of her high-level aides from the State Department in the next few months. Fox News Senior Judicial Analyst Andrew Napolitano explained in a Fox Business panel discussion last week that the granting of immunity against self-incrimination to Bryan Pagliano, who helped set up the private email server for Clinton that is central to an ongoing investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), means the Department of Justice intends to secure indictment of a person or people up the “totem pole” from Pagliano in the Hillary Clinton email scandal. Concludes Napolitano, “I think there will surely be indictments prior to November.” November, of course, is when the US presidential general election, in which Clinton hopes to compete as the Democratic nominee, will take place. Based on the fact that immunity was granted to Pagliano, Napolitano derives many details of the current state of the government’s investigation into Clinton’s emails. In particular, Napolitano asserts that the following is known: So we know already the FBI is interacting with the Justice Department, the FBI has already made some recommendations to the Justice Department, the Justice Department has accepted those recommendations seriously, has convened a grand jury, and has begun or will soon begin to present evidence to the grand jury, and they need Mr. Pagliano’s testimony immunized, which means he no longer has the privilege against self-incrimination because they can’t use against him whatever he says. It also means — this is profound — they intend to indict someone. It’s not Bryan Pagliano; he can only be indicted if he commits perjury if he lies under oath. But, they intend to indict someone in this chain north of him. Supporting his conclusion that an indictment or indictments are in the works, Napolitano, who is a former New Jersey state judge, provides some background information regarding how immunity grants work in the US court system. First, notes Napolitano, “only a federal judge can grant immunity.” Napolitano further explains that a federal judge will only grant such immunity for a witness “the government needs to testify before some proceeding,” which Napolitano notes in this instance would be a grand jury proceeding. “The procedure to obtain immunity,” Napolitano continues, “is so time consuming and involves such resources, they would not do it just for the heck of it; they would not do it just to satisfy newspaper editorials or political commentators.” Instead, he concludes, “they would only do it if they are seriously presenting evidence before a grand jury and they need the live testimony of this witness.” So, who might be indicted? Napolitano mentions a few possibilities: Clinton, Patrick Kennedy, Philippe Reines, Cheryl Mills, and Huma Abedin. “The typical federal procedure,” elaborates Napolitano, “is to start at the bottom — either indict the person and they spill the beans or get immunity for the person and they spill the beans — and work your way up.” Napolitano said last month that, even without Pagliano’s testimony, the evidence related to the Clinton emails scandal shows that Clinton’s “failure to care for national security secrets is now well documented, overwhelming, publicly known, and publicly understood.” What is not clear, he noted, is whether President Barack Obama would OK her prosecution. If recommended prosecution of Clinton is blocked, Napolitano predicts in the new Fox Business panel discussion, Clinton will still be harmed. “If the FBI tells the Justice Department, ‘we have enough evidence — solid, legally obtained evidence — to indict and convict,’ and the Justice Department rejects that,” suggests Napolitano, “expect resignations from the FBI and leaks of all the evidence.” And that situation, says Napolitano, “will have a catastrophic effect” on Clinton’s presidential candidacy.

Paul Ryan’s Plans Stopped Cold by Trump, Cruz Insurgency

by Breitbart News8 Mar 2016

Bloomberg’s Billy House writes that House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) 56% is “struggling to do the most basic duties of Congress” because the popularity of Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)

97% has crippled his agenda. From Bloomberg Politics: It was never going to be easy for House Speaker Paul Ryan to cut through the noise of a presidential campaign and chart out a course of conservative policies for the Republican Party. But the bombast and divisiveness of the presidential campaign has left Ryan struggling to do the most basic duties of Congress. With the two Republican front-runners — Donald Trump and Senator Ted Cruz — effectively running against Congress and the rest of the Republican establishment, Ryan more than ever needs to deliver on some kind of agenda in his first full year as speaker. Otherwise, he could help cement Congress as a distinctly junior partner in a Trump or Cruz presidency. His biggest problem is that the policies and rhetoric of his party’s presidential front-runners have become unusually out of step with a large portion of Republicans in Congress, notes Joshua Huder, a senior fellow at Georgetown University’s Government Affairs Institute. “Ryan has to navigate what’s best for his conference amidst one of the more major upheavals of his party,” Huder said. “He’ll either need to lay low and let the fight play out in the presidential race, or he’ll need to outline priorities that protect his conference at the expense of his party’s nominee.”

YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT THEY DID TO THE OHIO BALLOT TO STOP TRUMP

Piper McGowin March 9, 2016

We all know the elite are on the warpath against Donald Trump, with everyone from pundits, to major world leaders, to the Pope speaking out against him. Newt Gingrich recently said it’s because Trump isn’t part of the secret societies and hasn’t taken the initiation rites. Regardless, Trump has received a groundswell of support from the average conservative American, winning state primaries left and right. Ohio’s primary is coming up on March 15, and it’s a big one because it’s a “winner takes all” state. Well now it’s being alleged that Ohio’s GOP has intentionally set up a confusing ballot in a bid to try to make sure Donald Trump does not win. READ : WHY YOU NEED TO PREPARE FOR THE CASHLESS SOCIETY: “THEY WANT AN INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT YOU BUY AND SELL” The Dem ballot has one place for voters to mark their choice for president. Period. The Republican ballot in Ohio this year apparently has two, leaving a lot more questions than answers about whether or not voters will understand how it works. Take a look, (via the Conservative Treehouse): s the ballot intentionally confusing by design? Given the previous discussions on State Party shenanigans, and the intent of state republican party leadership to hold complete influence over their delegate’s decision-making, many believe the answer is “probably”. Look at that ballot. It definitely raises a lot of questions… that aren’t answered on the ballot. Do the majority of voters know the difference between “Delegates-at-Large” and “District Delegates”? Does a person need to choose their candidate twice, or are they only supposed to chose once? Which is right? What if they pick a different candidate in each box, do they cancel each other out? What if they pick someone in the first box and not the second, or vice versa? Why the confusing GOP ballot, Ohio?

American commandos capture key ISIS asset

CBS/AP March 9, 2016, 10:55 AM

U.S. commandos have captured a chemical weapons expert for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports. The capture has led to at least one strike in Iraq's second largest city, Mosul, which was designed to destroy a building where mustard gas munitions were believed to be manufactured. There are 12 reported instances of ISIS using mustard gas on the battlefield. It's the first known major success of Washington's more aggressive policy of pursuing the jihadis on the ground. The Obama administration launched the new strategy in December, deploying a commando force to Iraq that it said would be dedicated to capturing and killing ISIS leaders in clandestine operations, as well as generating intelligence leading to more raids. U.S. officials said last week that the expeditionary team had captured an ISIS leader but had refused to identify him, saying only that he had been held for two or three weeks and was being questioned. The two Iraqi officials identified the man to The Associated Press as Sleiman Daoud al-Afari, who worked for Saddam Hussein's now-dissolved Military Industrialization Authority where he specialized in chemical and biological weapons. They said al-Afari, who is about 50 years old, heads ISIS' recently established branch for the research and development of chemical weapons. He was captured in a raid near the northern Iraqi town of Tal Afar, the officials said. They would not give further details. The officials, who both have first-hand knowledge of the individual and of the ISIS chemical program, spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity as they are not authorized to brief the media. The U.S.-led coalition began targeting ISIS' chemical weapons infrastructure with airstrikes and special operations raids over the past two months, etc. and the news story continues.

Kim Jong-Un threatens to turn the US into 'flames and ashes' as he orders more nuclear tests and oversees another ballistic missile launch

Kim Jong-Un threatens to turn the U.S. and South into 'flames and ashes'

This week the dictator also oversaw two more ballistic missile launches

He demanded further nuclear capability tests, according to state-run media

By Corey Charlton for MailOnline Published: 03:48 EST, 11 March 2016 | Updated: 05:54 EST, 11 March 2016

North Korean tyrant Kim Jong-Un has threatened to turn Washington and Seoul into 'flames and ashes' and demanded further nuclear capability tests in his pariah state. Tensions have intensified on the peninsula with South Korea and the US reportedly engaged in joint 'decapitation strike' exercises designed to simulate wiping out the North's leadership. In turn, Jong-Un has overseen two short-range ballistic missile tests and ordered more 'nuclear explosion tests to estimate the destructive power' of his 'newly produced nuclear warheads'. Since the joint drills began Monday, the North has issued daily warnings and statements, talking up its nuclear strike capabilities and threatening its neighbours and the allied US. Just days after he was photographed posing in front of what state media described as a miniaturised nuclear warhead, Kim also said the weapon required further testing. Experts are divided as to just how far the North may have gone in shrinking warheads to a size capable of fitting on a ballistic missile - a major step forward in strike capability that would present a heightened threat to South Korea, other countries in the region and, eventually, the US mainland. According to state news agency KCNA, Thursday's launch of two short-range ballistic missiles, which traversed the eastern part of the country before falling into the Sea of Japan, was part of a nuclear strike exercise. The aim was to simulate conditions for 'exploding nuclear warheads from the preset altitude above targets in the ports under enemy control,' the agency said. Watching the exercise, Kim reiterated an earlier threat to launch an immediate nuclear attack if the 'sabre-rattling' South Korea-US drills should harm 'even a single tree or a blade of grass' on North Korean territory. 'I will issue a prompt order to launch attack with all military strike means,' he said. Military tensions on the divided Korean peninsula have been on the rise since the North carried out its fourth nuclear test in January, followed by a long-range rocket launch last month. South Korea and the United States responded by scaling up their annual joint drills, which Pyongyang has always condemned as provocative rehearsals for invasion. The North's anger has been fuelled this year by reports that the drills included a 'decapitation strike' scenario in which the North Korean leadership and command structure is taken out at the start of any conflict. In light of such drills, 'our self-defensive countermeasures should adopt a more preemptive and offensive mode,' Jong-Un said. The UN Security Council responded to the North's latest nuclear test and rocket launch by adopting tough, new sanctions, which Pyongyang condemned as a 'gangster-like' provocation orchestrated by the US. Reacting to the tyrant's call for more nuclear tests, South Korea said the North Korean leader was being 'rash' and displaying his ignorance of international opinion. 'The international community is imposing strong and comprehensive sanctions and this only goes to prove why they are necessary,' said Unification Ministry Spokesperson Jeong Joon-Hee. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Thursday voiced grave concern over the growing tensions, and urged North Korea to avoid any further 'destabilising acts.' Jong-Un, however, chose to highlight the need for a diversified nuclear strike force, capable of delivering warheads from the ground, air, sea and underwater. The North has conducted a number of what is says were successful tests of a submarine launched ballistic missile. Outside experts have questioned the results of those tests, suggesting Pyongyang had gone little further than a 'pop-up' test from a submerged platform.

North Korean nuclear test shook the earth but where's the proper proof?

VIENNA | By Shadia Nasralla Fri Mar 11, 2016 12:05am IST

Two months after what is widely believed to have been a nuclear test by North Korea, the radioactive particles to prove it have yet to be detected, suggesting the communist state is getting better at hiding the fallout, experts say. Fifty-five days after North Korea's previous test in 2013, those particles, known as radionuclides, wafted over a monitoring station in Japan, proving what seismic evidence already suggested - that an atomic bomb had been detonated. Now, 64 days after North Korea announced its latest test and seismic data appeared to confirm it, diplomats and nuclear analysts suspect final technical proof may never materialise. "With every day that passes, it becomes less likely that we will get a conclusive analysis," said one diplomat who follows North Korea's nuclear programme closely. January's detonation followed three previous nuclear tests by North Korea, the last before January's was the 2013 one. Back then, the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty organisation (CTBTO), a body monitoring seismic and radionuclide data world wide, confirmed the nuclear bomb test as such by analysing traces of the colourless, odourless noble gas xenon. The CTBTO system can differentiate between chemical and nuclear explosions. It cannot differentiate between a standard nuclear bomb test and a hydrogen bomb test, a more powerful nuclear weapon that North Korea claimed to have used. CTBTO head Lassina Zerbo and other diplomats have said seismic data did not indicate the test involved a hydrogen bomb. "It can be assumed that North Korea is getting better at hiding the results of its nuclear tests, and sealing off the area where they are testing to prevent nuclides from leaking into the atmosphere," Mark Hibbs, nuclear expert at think tank Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said. Experts and diplomats caution that due to xenon's short nuclear half live it now might be too late to get such proof. "Over 55 days after the announced nuclear test in the DPRK, several recent radionuclide measurements could be consistent with either a release from a test or with other possible sources, and are therefore not conclusive," CTBTO's Zerbo said in an emailed statement about North Korea. The CTBTO's analyses are based on a network of data centres across the globe which collect seismic and radionuclide data and which have in the past been the first points to pick up on North Korea testing a nuclear bomb. Difficult weather patterns make such analyses more complex. "The task may be even more difficult now if the North Koreans have been working to improve their nuclear explosion containment techniques," Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association, said in an emailed statement.

How the Russian Orthodox Church is backing Vladimir Putin's new world order

mark-woods Mark Woods Christian Today Contributing Editor 03 March

The US presidential election race has focused attention on the role of religion there. Ostensibly a country that prizes freedom of religion, in practice its politicians who aren't seen to be "Christian" have a built-in disadvantage. The Republican nomination process in particular has highlighted the religious nationalism of many American evangelicals, who see patriotism and Christianity as deeply intertwined. Thousands of miles away, however, there's an ideological synergy between Church and State which is just as unhealthy. Under its leader Patriarch Kirill, the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) has backed the aggressive expansionism of President Vladimir Putin, which has seen him extend Russian power into Crimea and eastern Ukraine. Kirill described Putin at a religious leaders' meeting in 2012 as "a miracle of God". It supported a government crackdown on "gay propaganda" in 2013. The ROC has made billions from trading concessions granted to it by the government. It is increasingly asserting its position as the largest of the 14 self-governing Orthodox Churches and is using its political muscle in support of Putin's aims. It's no friend to evangelicals, especially in the Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine, seeing them as puppets of the West. But how has it become so powerful – and how is it using its power? An answer has to begin with Kirill himself. An imposing figure, he looks – and plays – the part of a Russian Orthodox Patriarch to perfection. Ordained in 1969, Vladimir Mikhailovich Gundyayev, as he was then, rose through the ROC's heirarchy and was elected as Patriarch in January 2009. According to material from Soviet archives, Kirill was also a KGB agent; as Patriarch he dedicated a church to the KGB. While his political closeness to the regime has been criticised, he has also been tarnished by the ROC's financial dealings. After the fall of the Soviet Union the Church received special privileges, including the right to import alcohol and tobacco free of duty. It made massive amounts of money as a result through a string of companies with interests in areas ranging from TV to oil. Profits from the cigarettes operation alone – which ended in 1997 – were estimated at $4 billion by The Moscow News in 2006. Kirill has always denied profiting personally from the operations, though his credibility was undermined when he was seen wearing a Breguet watch worth $30,000 in 2012 – and further undermined when spin doctors made a clumsy attempt to airbrush the watch out in a picture on the ROC website. Church and state in harmony More important than his taste in wristwear, however, is Kirill's concept of how the Church and State should work together. Speaking at a conference on Ukraine in Lambeth Palace last April, participants highlighted the role of Orthodoxy in Putin's new world order. According to Mykhailo Cherenkov, a Ukrainian Baptist who is a Professor in Philosophy at Ukrainian Catholic University, the fall of the Soviet Union left Russia with an ideological vacuum. What had held the USSR together, and Russia itself, was a belief in communism. When the Berlin Wall fell and Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms led to the abandonment of the communist enterprise, Russia needed a "new ideological binding agent". And, said Cherenkov, there was a tool ready to hand. The ROC fulfilled the same purpose as communism in giving Russians something to believe in. "It was Orthodoxy that served as the main ferment in the formation of a new Russian identity from the beginning of Putin's presidency. If, in Soviet times, the mark of the majority was political atheism, then now it is political Orthodoxy." The Orthodox Church supports the state. It's patriotic to be Orthodox – and Orthodox to be patriotic. The Russian state's wars become holy wars. Cherenkov says of the Ukraine conflict: "The goal of the 'Holy War' is not seizure of territory, or change of power, or defeat of opponents, but the victory of faith over all lack of faith and false teaching, of the only right picture of the world over all wrong ones, of truth over all untruths. If Rus is Holy, then her faith and truth are the only Orthodox ones." Only one Russian world Another contributor, Antoine Arjakovsky, also from the Ukrainian Catholic University, cites Kirill's view that there's only one "Russian" world, which includes the historical territory of Ukraine. The Moscow Patriarchate has spiritual jurisdiction over all of it. He refers to a film made by senior cleric Metropolitan Hilarion in 2013 entitled The Second Baptism of the Rus. "Patriarch Kirill appears and says his priority is to gather together the lands of Holy Russia," says Arjakovsky. "There is even a parallel between the Trinitarian God and the trinity of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. President Putin also appears in person to tell how he was secretly baptised as an infant."

Why the Church doesn't criticise the Kremlin Speaking at the same conference, Bourdeaux referred back to the establishment of the Moscow Patriarchate by Stalin during the Second World War after its abolition by Lenin. Part of the deal, he said, was that it would never criticise the Kremlin. Keston understood the pressure the Church was under and did not criticise it – though, he said, they were "stunned" to discover, in the early '90s, the extent of collaboration between the Church leadership and the atheist state. When Communism collapsed, he said, "the Church leadership saw its opportunity to re-establish itself as a leading player in the new Russian state". He concluded: "Now free from Soviet constraints, church leaders might have been expected to write dispassionately about the troubled history of the Soviet period. But this is far from happening. There's been no act of repentance for the collaboration with the Soviet regime. Those who fought for religious liberty during the later Soviet period have been largely edited out of history, even though many lost their freedom – and some their lives – in the cause of freedom." And, says Bourdeaux: "These attitudes explain why the Moscow Patriarchate hasn't been willing to use its voice to attempt to rein in the forces leading to the Kremlin's aggression in Ukraine and the Crimea. My prayer is that, one day – and one hopes sooner rather than later – the Russian Orthodox Church would discover a prophetic voice and use its immense in influence in an attempt to reach a just resolution of the conflict in Ukraine."

A fake patriotic religion? Reuters A man cries outside his damaged house, which locals said was hit by shelling, in Donetsk, Ukraine. This statement is echoed by Joshua Searle, a lecturer at Spurgeon's College and Visiting Professor at Ukrainian Catholic University. He told Christian Today: "It needs to be made clear that the ROC hierarchy is essentially a political construct. The church structure is based not on gospel values of freedom, truth and enlightenment, but on fear, authoritarianism and the promotion of nationalism under the guise of religious zeal. This kind of fake patriotic religion deifies the State and gives divine sanction to a nation's imperialism. "The ROC can even invoke the name of "God" as an idol who has bestowed a special blessing and favour on Russia, which then allegedly gives 'Holy Russia' the right to invade and conquer neighbouring territories and subdue their peoples. Such a sham Christianity, which is a denial of Christ and the gospel, will always refuse to accept any higher power and will ruthlessly destroy any forms of genuine Christian faith that go beyond cultural or national identity." Evangelical Christians are suffering disproportionately in the Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine, he says; the ROC "regards evangelicals as 'sectarians' or even as 'Western spies' and as a dangerous presence on its 'canonical territory'". For Searle, this is "idolatrous, nationalistic official Christianity, which encourages war and hatred towards other nations, is inimical to the gospel and is under the control not of Christ, but of the dark 'powers and principalities' to which the author of Ephesians alluded". After 1,000 years, a meeting in Havana It's against this background that the meeting on February 12 at Havana airport between Kirill and Pope Francis has to be seen. The encounter was widely, and generally warmly, reported; moves toward healing a thousand-year rift make good headlines. Francis and Kirill released a joint statement afterwards – prepared by their 'sherpas' and agreed in advance, obviously – which was largely uncontroversial. It referred to the terrible persecution faced by Christians, the desirability of unity, poverty, inequality and the family. It also referred, as it could hardly avoid doing, to Ukraine. Francis, as head of a sovereign state, is accountable to no one in his diplomatic initiatives, but Kirill – whose visit had to be sanctioned by the Kremlin – the wording of these sections would have been hugely challenging. That's not to say that it wasn't a diplomatic test for Francis too. Observant readers will have noticed that three of the theologians quoted are linked to the Ukrainian Catholic University (though they are not all Ukrainian Catholics). The Ukrainian Catholic Church derives from Orthodox bishops who re-established communion with Rome in 1595. They're regarded as schismatics by the ROC and there is constant tension over their buildings and property. The Ukrainian Catholic problem So the meeting between Kirill and Francis was deeply problematic for the Ukrainian Catholics, whose Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk said the text of their agreement had caused "deep disappointment" for them and that he had not been consulted. While it expressed the hope that "our meeting may also contribute to reconciliation wherever tensions exist between Greek [ie Ukrainian] Catholics and Orthodox", it also said it was "clear that the past method of 'uniatism, understood as the union of one community to the other, separating it from its Church, is not the way to re-establish unity" – a clear challenge to the Ukrainian Catholics and an extraordinary concession by the Vatican. It also said that "the ecclesial communities which emerged in these historical circumstances have the right to exist" – a half-hearted gesture by the ROC. The Ukrainian Catholics are not 'ecclesial communities', which is a dismissive expression also used of Protestants, but a Church. According to the Catholic Herald, Shevchuk said the two sides "existed on two completely different planes and were pursuing different goals", with Francis experiencing the meeting as a spiritual event while "From the Moscow patriarch, one immediately sensed that this wasn't about any Spirit, or theology or actual religious matters." Shevchuk said the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, which drew up the declaration, had been "exploited" during the drafting process by the Russian Orthodox Department of External Affairs. While this apparent bickering over jurisdiction and ancient Church history might seem trivial in face of the suffering – now largely ignored in the West – of Ukraine, it's very characteristic of the ROC's concerns. In the bewildering array of Ukraine's competing Churches, it's also in dispute with the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church and the Kiev Patriarchate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Each of these bodies was the product of post-Revolutionary politics in the region. The point, however, is that as far as the ROC is concerned, it's the only legitimate Church. It wants to reclaim the territorial authority of which it believes it was wrongly deprived – a desire that puts it right alongside the neo-imperial ambitions of Vladimir Putin. Russians, the ROC and the future And in a sign of how well the ROC is playing in Putin's Russia, a survey just released by the Levada Centre shows more than half (56 per cent) of Russians are satisfied with the role played by the Church and religious NGOs in state politics. Furthermore, growing numbers of Russians want to see the Church increase its influence on the maintenance of public morality, with 47 per cent of respondents in favour of this idea in February 2016. According to Levada Center sociologist Karina Pipiya: "The authorities are constantly articulating the important role of Orthodoxy as one of the components of 'special national identity,' in contrast with Western values and patterns, and people willingly support this idea, especially during periods of worsening relations between Russia and the West." On both sides of the Atlantic, religion is playing a role in politics. In neither case does it appear to be a particularly healthy one. And while there is, in the US, a system of checks and balances to control it, things are very different elsewhere. It remains to be seen how religion will continue to shape Putin's Russia.

RT Founder Mikhail Lesin’s Fishy Blunt Force ‘Suicide’

03.10.16 5:26 PM ET

It had been a mystery for months, but evidence of foul play has mounted in the death of Kremlin-backed media figure Mikhail Lesin. An ex-aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin did not die of a heart attack in a Washington, D.C. hotel room last year as was previously reported, but from “blunt force injuries of the head” as well as “the neck, torso, upper extremities, and lower extremities,” a spokesperson with the D.C. medical examiner’s office told The Daily Beast. The medical examiner reported Mikhail Lesin’s “manner of death” is “undetermined.” Almost immediately after Lesin’s body was discovered last November, the broadcasting outfit RT (Russia Today), widely seen as a Kremlin mouthpiece, reported that Lesin died of a heart attack, citing an unnamed “family member.” For months, Washington authorities said the case was still under investigation, though they had performed an autopsy, and declined to disclose the official cause of death—an unusual delay. But the news that Lesin died of multiple, violent injuries is certain to raise questions about whether the former propaganda chief for the Russian government was murdered. When police found Lesin’s body, the most interesting question wasn’t the cause of his demise, but what he was doing in the United States in the first place. Lesin, one of the founding fathers of RT and nicknamed “the bulldozer” for his history of rolling over his opposition, had been under scrutiny by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department for potential money laundering and violation of anti-corruption laws. Lesin was suspected of hiding ill-gotten gains in nearly $30 million worth of luxury real estate in southern California, an astounding set of assets for a man supposedly collecting a civil servant’s salary. He’d also been considered for sanctions that would have prevented him from obtaining a visa to enter the U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, a Republican from Mississippi who has spent years looking into corruption and human rights abuses in Russia, had asked the Justice Department to investigate Lesin. In December 2014, the department confirmed it had referred Lesin’s case to its criminal division and to the FBI. While officials declined to say whether they formally opened an investigation, several close watchers of Lesin’s case told The Daily Beast they thought it was all but certain that he was being pursued by U.S. law enforcement. And if he wasn’t under active criminal investigation, the FBI had enough evidence to consider opening a case, they said. The mystery surrounding Lesin’s death had fueled speculation that Lesin was murdered after coming to Washington to cut a deal with the FBI. The conspiracy theories are arguably well-founded, because it wouldn’t be the first time someone who posed a political threat to Putin wound up dead under unusual circumstances. Lesin certainly would have had a lot to say about Putin’s inner circle—he worked with, and reportedly owed money to, some of the most powerful men in Russian media and finance. And he would have had a powerful incentive to cooperate with U.S. authorities, namely hanging onto his several mansions in Los Angeles, which potentially could have been seized. At least two of the homes are known to be occupied, respectively, by his daughter and his son, a Hollywood film producer whose star is on the rise. Lesin was also being squeezed by the U.S. government. Two years ago he’d been nominated by human rights groups for the so-called Magnitsky list of Russian human rights violators, which would have allowed Washington to deny him a visa and seize his assets in this country. Lesin was not placed on the public list, which consists mainly of mid-level officials not as influential as the former propaganda chief. But U.S. officials maintain a classified annex which reportedly includes more senior Russians, including those closer to Putin. It’s not known whether Lesin was on that list, but activists lobbied hard to put him there. Following a Freedom of Information Act filed by The Daily Beast, the Department of Homeland Security disclosed that Lesin hadn’t obtained a green card or any legal residency status in the U.S. Upon the news of Lesin’s death, the Kremlin issued a statement on behalf of Putin, noting that he had a “high appreciation for Mikhail Lesin’s massive contribution to the creation of modern Russian mass media.” But having Lesin as an informant would been a big contribution to U.S. law enforcement and intelligence. And the information that Wicker and his staff, as well as human rights groups and journalists, dug up on Lesin may have pushed him closer to the FBI’s arms—and ultimately into the path of a killer.

Doomsday Weapon: Russia’s New Missile Shocks and Dazzles US, China

13:36 09.03.2016(updated 13:38 09.03.2016)

Russia’s advanced RS-26 intercontinental ballistic missile has raised admiring eyebrows of military experts everywhere, the official Rossiiskaya Gazeta newspaper wrote. In a Chinese television program aired earlier this month a local defense expert hailed the unique characteristics of the Russian ICBM and the fear it had instilled in the hearts of foreign militaries, Rossiiskaya Gazeta wrote. “Russia’s new RS-26 missile travels along a continuously changing trajectory and as such it has no analogues in the world,” the expert said. When asked about the US missile defense system, he said that it was “absolutely useless” against the RS-26. “This one is even better than the famous Topol-M missile… Its warheads are supersonic and change their course all the time. Some of them will penetrate any existing missile defense shield and will hit their target,” the expert added. When asked whether the new Russian ICBM had caught the Americans flatfooted, the expert said that not only the Americans were clueless but that the Chinese too now had something to worry about. “Russia is 100-percent safe now, unlike everybody else,” he emphasized. What makes the RS-26 so special is that even though it weighs just 80 tons, compared to the 120-ton heft of its RS-24 Yars predecessor, the Rubezh packs a frightening 1,2 megatons into its four 300 kiloton warheads. With a potential range of 11,000 kilometers the RS-26 can hit targets all across the United States. Moreover, its booster stage is down to under five minutes, which means that NATO radars in Europe will have no time to register the launch. Adding to NATO air defenders’ worries, during the descending section of its trajectory, with only a few hundred kilometers left to the target, the missile’s warheads suddenly take a dive, lose altitude, and continue the approach as a cruise missile. These new Russian ICBM warheads were developed in response to America’s plans to deploy a global missile defense system along Russia's borders. The RS-26 Rubezh is expected to become operational in 2016.

US sending B-2 bombers to Asia amid NKorea tension

By ROBERT BURNS AP National Security Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. says it has dispatched three B-2 stealth bombers on a training mission to the Asia-Pacific region amid growing tensions with North Korea. The deployment was announced Wednesday by U.S. Strategic Command, which is responsible for U.S. nuclear forces. B-2 bombers are capable of launching nuclear as well as conventional weapons. They are based at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. Strategic Command said the bombers will conduct training with the Australian military during the deployment, etc. and the news story continues.

Secret SKYBORG Pentagon Development Includes ‘Avatar’ Fighters, Drone Swarms

March 10, 2016 by SkyWatch Editor

High over Alaska last summer, the Pentagon experimented with new, secret prototypes: Micro-drones that can be launched from the flare dispensers of moving F-16s and F/A-18 fighter jets. Canisters containing the tiny aircraft descended from the jets on parachutes before breaking open, allowing wings on each drone to swing out and catch the wind. Inch-wide propellers on the back provided propulsion as they found one another and created a swarm And some plans are extremely ambitious: One new project not previously reported is called Avatar, and calls for the Pentagon to pair high-tech “fifth-generation” fighter jets like the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Joint Strike Fighter with unmanned versions of older jets like the F-16 Fighting Falcon or F/A-18 Hornet, which would be flown without a pilot for the first time. The Avatar effort was previously called SKYBORG… (READ MORE)

The Gathering Global Storm - Will A Chinese Takeover Of America Lead To Martial Law In The U.S.? - When Prophetic Dreams Meet Current Events

March 10, 2016 Submitted to All News PipeLine by A Minute To Midnite

The Gathering Global Storm - Exposing The Darkness

Episode 027 Of A Minute To Midnite begins with Chris and Tony discussing world events, including the debt crisis, collapsing economies and the potential Chinese threat to all countries involved in the TPP agreement. The role of gold & silver are also covered. Chris discusses the gold market and the upward moves in the price of precious metals. He states that this is good for this who are invested in these metals, but conversely it is a bad sign for the global economy in general. He reminds us again about the global debt and how it will be "we the people" who will ultimately bear the brunt of the consequences through bail-ins, taxes and negative interest rates. Chris also then discusses two instances of people who have shared directly with him the truth about certain sectors of the economy, and transport and trade, and how they are struggling. One came from within New Zealand, and the other one from Dubai. Tony and Chris discuss some other aspects of what is happening globally. Chris then discusses how important it is to be prepared spiritually, and also by way of physical preparations for the difficulties ahead. The Gathering Global Storm & God's Guidance The main body of the show is an interview conducted with Joanie Stahl by Tony. She shares a couple of prophetic dreams she has recently had. One of them involves a Chinese takeover of America - which is very interesting considering she had no idea of what Chris was intending to discuss at the beginning of the show, and the second one relates to martial law in the US! Tony mentions a dream he had also, which relates to one of the dreams that Joanie shared. Lots of lively discussion ensues from the sharing of these dreams. In the last half of the show, End Time events are discussed in the light of what is currently happening in the world. Planet X, meteor showers, food shortages, World War, gold & silver and other topics are covered. Talk of how for a time at least, gold will be the only thing that will hold it's value (silver would have to be included with that also). We know from Daniel chapter 11 that at some point in the future the Antichrist ( King of the North) will control the reserves of gold and silver. But then at some point fate that the gold and silver will not be able to save people during "The Day of The Lord". With all the calamities foretold to occur, particularly during the latter parts of the Book Of Revelation, it will be food and water that will be decimated as the earth is being devastated. Joanie shares how learning to hear from God to get guidance for the coming events is going to be of paramount importance. It's important for Christians to focus on God, and not have our primary focus on the circumstances. We need to become a people that are so tied into God rather than being our own little gods. End Time topics are covered in some depth, in an interesting discussion that develops. The interview ends. But before the end of the show Tony informs the listeners that following the interview, Tony and Joanie began chatting informally. Initially it was not intended to be another broadcast, just a private chat, but the recording devices were still running during the chat. The conversation turned into one of the best and most powerful discussions they have had, and Tony tells Joanie the recording is still running. From there it turns into a great second interview. 028 - Exposing The Darkness. Demons & Deliverance Episode 028. This is the second interview. It Joanie deals with Joanie's occult upbringing. Then following on from being set free from demonic bondage it recounts how she began to encounter other people in similar bondage. She recalls accounts of some of these experiences, and explains how to see people delivered and set free from demonic bondage. There are some powerful encounters spoken of here - including a girl who manifested a demonic male voice fate retrying to fool people that she was a Christian. Chris closes out the show with great word of warning about how the tares and wheat will grow up side by side in the world ( and the church) and how we must exercise great discernment in order not to be fooled into thinking that the tares are actually wheat. In some cases it won't even be till judgement day that the tares are revealed for what they were! Matthew 13:24-30 (NKJV) 24 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’

Hacker's typo of the word 'foundation' helped stop billion-dollar bank heist involving the New York Fed

Hackers breached Bangladesh Bank's systems last month, and attempted to move billions to a non-profit in the Philippines

Four requests to transfer a total of about $81million went through

A fifth request - for $20million - was held up because the word 'foundation' was spelled 'fandantion'

Deutsche Bank, which was handling the routing of the money, then called Bangladesh Bank to verify the transfer and they cancelled it

Bangladesh Bank is still trying to recover the money from the four other requests that went through

By Reuters Published: 09:34 EST, 10 March 2016 | Updated: 18:28 EST, 10 March 2016

A spelling mistake in an online bank transfer instruction helped prevent a nearly $1 billion heist last month involving the Bangladesh central bank and the New York Fed, banking officials said. Unknown hackers still managed to get away with about $80 million, one of the largest known bank thefts in history. The hackers breached Bangladesh Bank's systems and stole its credentials for payment transfers, two senior officials at the bank said. They then bombarded the Federal Reserve Bank of New York with nearly three dozen requests to move money from the Bangladesh Bank's account there to entities in the Philippines and Sri Lanka, the officials said. Four requests to transfer a total of about $81 million to the Philippines went through, but a fifth, for $20 million, to a Sri Lankan non-profit organisation was held up because the hackers misspelled the name of the NGO, Shalika Foundation. Hackers misspelled 'foundation' in the NGO's name as 'fandation', prompting a routing bank, Deutsche Bank, to seek clarification from the Bangladesh central bank, which stopped the transaction, one of the officials said. There is no NGO under the name of Shalika Foundation in the list of registered Sri Lankan non-profits. Reuters could not immediately find contact information for the organization. Deutsche Bank declined to comment. At the same time, the unusually high number of payment instructions and the transfer requests to private entities - as opposed to other banks - raised suspicions at the Fed, which also alerted the Bangladeshis, the officials said. The details of how the hacking came to light and was stopped before it did more damage have not been previously reported. Bangladesh Bank has billions of dollars in a current account with the Fed, which it uses for international settlements. The transactions that were stopped totalled $850-$870 million, one of the officials said. Last year, Russian computer security company Kaspersky Lab said a multinational gang of cyber criminals had stolen as much as $1 billion from as many as 100 financial institutions around the world in about two years. Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's son Qusay took $1 billion from Iraq's central bank on the orders of his father on the day before coalition forces began bombing the country in 2003, American and Iraqi officials have said. In 2007, guards at the Dar Es Salaam bank in Baghdad made off with $282 Bangladesh Bank has said it has recovered some of the money that was stolen, and is working with anti-money laundering authorities in the Philippines to try to recover the rest. A bank spokesman could not be reached for comment late on Thursday. The recovered funds refer to the Sri Lanka transfer, which was stopped, one of the officials said. Initially, the Sri Lankan transaction reached Pan Asia Banking Corp, which went back to Deutsche Bank for more verification because of the unusually large size of the payment, a Pan Asia official said. 'The transaction was too large for a country like us,' the official said. 'Then (Deutsche) came back and said it was a suspect transaction.' A Pan Asia spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment. The dizzying, global reach of the heist underscores the growing threat of cyber crime and how hackers can find weak links in even the most secure computer networks. More than a month after the attack, Bangladeshi officials are scrambling to trace the money, shore up security and identify weaknesses in their systems. They said there is little hope of ever catching the hackers, and it could take months before the money is recovered, if at all. Security experts said the perpetrators had deep knowledge of the Bangladeshi institution's internal workings, likely gained by spying on bank workers. The Bangladesh government, meanwhile, is blaming the Fed for not stopping the transactions earlier. Finance Minister Abul Maal Abdul Muhith told reporters on Tuesday that the country may resort to suing the Fed to recover the money. 'The Fed must take responsibility,' he said. The New York Fed has said its systems were not breached, and it has been working with the Bangladesh central bank since the incident occurred. The hacking of Bangladesh Bank happened sometime between Feb. 4-5, over the Bangladeshi weekend, which falls on a Friday, the officials said. The bank's offices were shut. Initially, the central bank was not sure if its system had been breached, but cyber security experts brought in to investigate found hacker 'footprints' that suggested the system had been compromised, the officials said. These experts could also tell that the attack originated from outside Bangladesh, they said, adding the bank is looking into how they got into the system and an internal investigation is ongoing. The bank suspects money sent to the Philippines was further diverted to casinos there, the officials said. The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp, which oversees the gaming industry, said it has launched an investigation. The country's anti-money laundering authority is also working on the case.

ALERT: Legend Warns We Will See Major Turmoil In The Banking Sector And A Massive Surge In Gold In 2016

March 10, 2016

With news out of Europe that Mario Draghi is done with lowering rates for the time being, a legend in the business warned King World News to expect turmoil in the banking sector this year. He also discussed what to expect in the gold market. John Ing: “Right now the action in the gold market is powerful and very impressive. It’s interesting that since the beginning of the year we’ve had this bull run without a meaningful correction, defying all experts… In Volatile Markets, Is Wealth Preservation King? In a King World News interview I spoke with the man who predicted the Swiss National Bank would experience staggering losses and that the Fed would also experience massive losses that will destabilize the global financial system! His company is the only one in the world offering a precious metals investment service outside the banking system, with direct ownership and full control by the investor. He has also become legendary for his predictions on QE, historic moves in currencies, and major global events. To find out what he and his company can do to help answer that age old question for you CLICK HERE. John Ing continues: “I’ve been saying that bull markets climb walls of worry, and we continue to see anti-gold propaganda claiming gold is a barbaric metal, etc. Regardless, gold has been the best performing asset since the beginning of the year. And yet there is huge skepticism. That suggests to me that we have already seen the bottom in the gold market. The action we are seeing is only the beginning of the gold bull market run. I believe that the 4+ year bear market was only an interruption of that 12 year bull market and we will see a lot of room for enormous upside gains in coming years. One of the catalysts of late is the move to negative interest rates in Japan. This policy will not only be innefectual but it also underlines the impotence of the central banks after many rounds of quantitative easing, bringing interest rates to zero, and in some cases below zero, that they have not been able to move the needle in their struggling economies. Second is the shortage of physical gold bullion we have seen recently. This suggests to me that we have a lot of stress in the bullion markets. You also have the fact that there are enormous quantitaties of paper gold in the form of derivatives, unallocated accounts, massive paper leverage, and this further complicates an already tight gold market. Then you have the continuous buying from both China and Russia and this is further complicating an already delicate fractional reserve gold system.” Eric King: “John, what do you expect to see for the rest of 2016?” John Ing: “Short-term we have a $1,325 target. After that there is a bit of resistance at $1,700, but I fully expect that we will see a new all-time record high above the $2,000 level within the next 12 months. Contagion is the watchword. We have concerns about Deutsche Bank and others, and 2016 will be the year where we again see major turmoil in the banking sector. And with less gold coming on to the market and more demand, the price of gold has only one direction to go and that’s signifiacntly higher.”

JOURNAL: Why the Technorati screws up My friend Nassim Taleb (the well known philosopher of decision making) adds to our understanding of why the Technorati routinely make bad decisions (from the management of the economy to national security to social policy). It also explains why they screw up without taking responsibility for it. What we are seeing worldwide, from India to the UK to the US, is the rebellion against the inner circle of no-skin-in-the-game policymaking "clerks" and journalists-insiders, that class of paternalistic semi-intellectual experts with some Ivy league, Oxford-Cambridge, or similar label-driven education who are telling the rest of us 1) what to do, 2) what to eat, 3) how to speak, 4) how to think... and 5) who to vote for. With psychology papers replicating less than 40%, dietary advice reversing after 30y of fatphobia, macroeconomic analysis working worse than astrology, microeconomic papers wrong 40% of the time, the appointment of Bernanke who was less than clueless of the risks, and pharmaceutical trials replicating only 1/5th of the time, people are perfectly entitled to rely on their own ancestral instinct and listen to their grandmothers with a better track record than these policymaking goons. Indeed one can see that these academico-bureaucrats wanting to run our lives aren't even rigorous, whether in medical statistics or policymaking. I have shown that most of what Cass-Sunstein-Richard Thaler types call "rational" or "irrational" comes from misunderstanding of probability theory.

GOP elite: Get your heads out!

Exclusive: Ted Nugent excoriates Republicans for trying to derail Trump, Cruz

Published: 2 days ago

Here, let the guitar player help. You know I’m here to help, right? Tell me you have faith in the old MotorCity Madman when I tell you that I sincerely want to resuscitate the fumbling, bumbling, stumbling, staggering, stammering, gagging, ailing, deaf, dumb and blind GOP and help lead them back on track to self-evident truth, logic, common sense, accountability and that good old long ago GOP American Way. I could start by slapping you Republican goofballs upside the head with the embarrassing reality that you haven’t done jack-diddly to eliminate the obscene government thievery of the death tax, the criminal education fiasco, the nonstop invasion of illegals through our non-borders, the mind-dazzling runaway Democrat tag-team spending orgy, the vulgar dismantling of our military and defense system, the absurdity of denying the best-trained combat warriors in the history of the world from carrying guns on military bases, the abject oath-violating infringements of our constitutionally guaranteed right to keep and bear arms across the country, the jackbooted thuggery of various government agencies abusing power and violating U.S. citizens’ civil rights, allowing rules of engagement for our military heroes that actually benefit our enemies, the horror of a VA that not only fails to provide adequate aid and treatment for our hero warriors but actually looks the other way when soulless bureaucrats cause their death, agreeing to Obama’s insane, wasteful, unaccountable budget that helps and benefits our enemies but does little to fortify America, the bizarre decision to release dangerous jihadists even when it is proven they return to combat and kill Americans, and assorted very Democratic modes of operation very unbecoming of traditional Republicans. And I could go on, but instead let me drive it home as clear and simple as possible – those of you who want to derail Donald Trump’s presidential campaign are guilty of the most egregious self-inflicted disconnect America has ever seen. Write this down: You’re not against Donald Trump; you’re against the will of the people, pure and simple. Let me be clear: I do not endorse Donald Trump, but the very reason Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are so popular is because they laugh in the face of your absurd and offensive status quo good ol’ boy GOP establishment crap. You talk and talk and talk about reigning back spending, but you do nothing. You talk about standing up for Second Amendment rights, but you do little or nothing. You talk about demanding accountability for Fast and Furious, but nothing happens. You talk and talk and talk about Lois Lerner’s IRS crimes, but you do nothing. You talk and talk and talk about taking care of our veterans, but you do little or nothing. You watch our failed education system waste more and more tax dollars while turning out the dumbest kids on Earth, and you do nothing. You watch the EPA abuse landowners and pollute rivers, but you do nothing. You know damn well Obama’s raw deal with Iran was the act of a madman, but you stand by as if you are helpless. You talk about halting the dangerous, America-destroying invasion of illegals across our borders, but you do nothing. You see the destruction of thriving big game herds across the West by out of control wolf numbers, and you do nothing. You sit back and watch the president side with criminal thugs instead of our law enforcement heroes, but you do nothing. You see out-of-control populations of non-indigenous wild horses destroying native wildlife and habitat, but you do nothing. Enter status quo busting we-the-people warriors who gain unprecedented support of we the people, and you attack and condemn them. When you attack and condemn Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, you are attacking and condemning the common sense and voice of we the people. You sound and act like you are that dumb, but I’m here to help. Don’t be so damn dumb. Get your head out of your status quo posterior and review the short list of your failings above. When you are ready to admit that your GOP has become indistinguishable from the crazed Democrats, then we can talk. Until then, shut up and pay attention. You might learn something.

America Is Under Attack by Weather and Earthquake Weapons

There is a very strong possibility that the United States is under attack from forces using weather modification technology and earthquake producing capabilities. To many in the Independent Media this is anything but an outlandish claim. To many Americans, who are just beginning to realize how often and how severely we are being lied to, this is a claim being made by someone who should be wearing a tinfoil hat. This article is divided into two parts. First, a cursory examination will be offered with regard to the viability owarsf the existence of weather modification and earthquake producing weapons. Secondly, an offering of the present use of these technologies presently being employed against the United States, will be presented as well. Weather and Earthquake Technology Primer I grew up in Denver and in the 1970’s it was widely reported in the media that the state was cloud-seeding as a means to increase snow fall at ski resorts, thus enhancing tourism. The endeavor was successful. Despite the fact that this technology is 60 years old, people simply do not want to believe it. In Arizona, one can buy a permit for “weather modification” from the Secretary of State’s Office. The government will deny a permit to yours truly, but we are soon going to test and videotape the process. Those who doubt that Katrina, or any other hurricane, could be stopped—or created—can find substantiation in a long-forgotten article by Chen May Yee in the Nov. 13, 1997, lke weapons issue of The Wall Street Journal where this was clearly discussed in the article. On Oct. 2, 1992, The Wall Street Journal reported that a Russian company, Elate Intelligent Technologies, Inc., has weather control equipment for sale and uses the advertising slogan of “weather made to order.” Igor Pirogoff, director of the company, said “Elate is capable of fine-tuning weather patterns over a 200-squaremile area for as little as $200 U.S. per day,” the newspaper reported. The article recounts an offer by the Russians to aid Malaysia to create a typhoon to dissipate a pall of smoke that hung over the country, and still does, caused by the burning of large sections of the rain forests in Indonesia and Sumatra. To quote from the article: Datuk Law Hieng Ding, Malaysia’s minister for science, technology and the environment at the time, said his country “would use special technology to create an artificial cyclone to clean the air.” In short, the technology exists, it is sophisticated and it has existed for a long time. Below is the Air Force’s position on this topic in which it is clearly admitted that the Air Force has had the ability to initiate earthquakes. Here is a partial abstract related to the fact that the Air Force has had the ability to harness the ability to destroy targets and geographic areas through what is loosely called weather wars technology and earthquake weaponry, and they have claimed to have had this ability since the 1990’s. II. Abstract from Air Force Owning the Weather 2025 TECHNOLOGY ABSTRACT This technology abstract is a submittal by the general public. The views expressed in this abstract are strictly those of the author and do not reflect the official policy, position, or programs of the United States Air Force, Department of Defense, or the United States Government. DISTRIBUTION A. Approved for public release; distribution unlimited. Document ID: 800062 Technology Abstract Title: Earthquake Weapon Description: Ultrasonic or acoustic weapon to destroy runways, buildings, bridges. Weapon will generate a very strong acoustic wave that causes structures to resonate, and thereby destroy them. This has the advantage of being a destructive force that is not designed to kill people. Advantages: Destructive to structures and war making potential, but does not directly threaten people. Challenges: How to generate a strong enough acoustic field. Countermeasures: Acoustic wave cancellation methods (generate a wave out of phase with the weapon) standard earthquake protection methods, such as flexible structures, truss designs, reinforced materials. Positive Counter Measures Attacking hardened, hidden structures. Airfield interdiction (destroy runways) Civilian application: demolition. Louisiana Is Closed for Business-Military Deployed In New Orleans, if you drive faster than 5 mph over standing water, the police are under orders to write you a ticket. Death and devastation are spreading throughout the states and the misery will soon reach throughout the central Midwest. There is one significant problem, the projected weather patterns are too uniform, to be viewed as a random collection of projected weather events. To one local meterologist, interviewed for this report, they were “troubled at the lack of randomness” associated with the storms and uniformity of progression over a large swath of land. Here’s where this gets very frightening. The projected massive storm, corresponds to reports of increased and highly flammable methane presence. The data points take an even more ominous turn when we consider that this corresponds, almost directly, with the New Madrid Fault. The convergence of extreme weather, combined with the possible EMP, excitation of key plate tectonics could produce the following effect. One confidential source revealed the following map would be the “zone of concentration”. Interestingly, it has happened before WITHOUT artificial stimulation. One can only imagine the devastation if this is an orchestrated event. Who needs nuclear bombs when weather and earthquake wars can produce such an event? The following was once a Navy-produced futuristic map in response to extreme weather wars and earthquake producing technology. The following is a nightmare image of what could transpire as a result of this extreme activity. The Mississippi River would reverse flow and the country would effectively be split in half. And this might be only the beginning of the attack that the United States finds itself under. Potential Earthquake Attacks Upon California On February 26, 2016, the Global Forecast System model recorded intense and wide-ranging carbon monoxide (CO) spike over the US West Coast. A region stretching from British Columbia, through Washington and Oregon, and on over most of California experienced CO readings ranging from about 5,000 parts per billion over the mountains of Southwestern Canada to as high as 40,000 parts per billion over Southern California. “Very high peak readings appear to have occurred from Northern California near Eureka CA., and along a line south and eastward over much of Central California to an extreme peak zone just north and west of Los Angeles near Palmdale.” When on reads the annotated bibliography and related research articles associated with Air Force Owning the Weather 2025, this is precisely the pattern of progression that one sees prior to suspected artificially caused earthquake. These quake pattern begins as a broad-spectrum and then reaches a narrow and concentrated focus in the intended target zone. This is what we are seeing in California. If I were to make an earthquake projection based upon the most recent data, I would place the primary quake zone from Palmdale west to the coast and then turning left and extending into Orange County. This could be a probe, a beta test, or it could the EMP exciting and movement of plate tectonics prior to massive earthquake. These kinds of earthquakes are always preceded with the release of CO and methane and this is exactly what we are witnessing in California. I also find it interesting that as well known as this technology is, I have been largely unsuccessful in getting “experts” to discuss the ramifications. The hesitation is not due to skepticism, but what I judge to be fear of the event and fear of criticism for acknowledging the potential event. As of this date, no major US or Canadian geological organization has yet made any report on this particularly large CO spike, which could result in the death of millions due to poison air being stagnated over population centers. “However, a piece of scientific research in Nature Asia, by K. S. Jayaraman notes that major CO and SO2 spikes may be an indication that future earthquake activity is on the way. According to Nature Magazine, this type of intense CO spike occurred prior to a 7.6 magnitude earthquake that shook Gujara in 2001 killing 20,000 people: Singh said that CO levels were taken by an instrument onboard NASA’s Terra satellite — launched in 2009 — circling the earth in a polar orbit at a height of 705 km. The instrument measures CO concentrations at different heights and also computes the total amount of the gas in a vertical column of air above the earth surface prior to an earthquake. Nightmare Scenario I have no credible proof at this time, however, if I were to attack the United States with this technology, I would exacerbate what is already going on in Yellowstone National Park. For years, I have followed the work of New York University theoretical physics professor, Michio Kaku, and his Superstring Theory related to the fact that we live in a multi-dimensional Universe. Since the passing of Carl Sagan, Dr. Kaku is wearing the hat of America’s most prominent scientist. It is safe to say that when Kaku speaks, scientists listen. And lately, he has been speaking about the threat that is the Yellowstone super volcano. Much to my chagrin, Kaku is on the record of having stated that the super volcano event at Yellowstone would be an extinction level event (ELE). In the following video, Kaku states that the volcano could erupt at anytime and the earth would no longer support life. Kaku went on to say that the United States would be covered in several feet of volcanic ash. The aerial debris would block out the sun, thus creating nuclear winter and all plant life would die. When all plant life dies, all mammals will soon die as well, mostly from starvation. Yellowstone erupts every 600,000 years and we are 40,000 years overdue. Kaku goes on to say that the Yellowstone explosion will undoubtedly be an ELE and it is not a matter of if, but a matter of when. In the accompanying video, Kaku speaks to the fact that the ground at Yellowstone has risen dramatically in the past few years, thus increasing the danger of a massive explosion. How much of a “nudge” would it take to push this whole scenario over the edge? Take a look at the initial projected ash cloud dispersion, immediately after the volcanic explosion. Is the Government Doing Anything About These Possibilities? There are massive troop movements going on across the country today. I have been sent no less than seven major transport train videos. I have chosen one to display, because the equipment on the train is telling. This is from a truck driver who describes and taping massive military equipment. The tape is made with a little too much very exuberance, but feel free to turn the sound down. Look at the equipment that caught on tape near Gallup, New Mexico. This tape was made on March 9, 2016. Did you catch the equipment that caught my eye? If one was transporting a train with bulldozers, wouldn’t that be the one piece of most important equipment that one would need in dealing with the changing New Madrid Fault? Conclusion California, Louisiana and possibly Yellowstone, what do they have in common? Any attack upon these areas in the manner in which I describe would destroy this nation, for good. We have fairly strong evidence that California is under attack. Louisiana is high suspect as to the progression of events in that state and if Yellowstone ever goes, it could become an extinction level event. Are weather and earthquake wars the wave of the future? The Air Force thinks so.

Flooding, evacuations and two drowned in the South as parts of Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas receive nearly a foot of rain

Flooding drove people from their homes in multiple states Wednesday

Flash-flood watches were issues from parts of Texas, to areas of Illinois

Several Louisiana parishes declared a state of emergency

Two men - one in Texas, one in southern Oklahoma - drowned

Tornadoes were also reported in Texas

By Associated Press Published: 20:43 EST, 9 March 2016 | Updated: 04:45 EST, 10 March 2016

Cars were submerged by water, residents forced to flee their homes with housecats and birds in tow, and the Louisiana National Guard and others rescued people by boat and in big military trucks as torrential rains Wednesday drenched parts of Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas with nearly a foot of rain. Two people drowned in Oklahoma and Texas, and the rain is expected to stay in the forecast for much of the week. Up to seven inches of rain was expected through Wednesday and up to a foot by the end of the weekend. Flash-flood watches were issued for areas from Port O'Connor, Texas, to near Springfield, In northwestern Louisiana up to 80 homes and a nursing home were evacuated. No injuries were reported. Sharon Anderson, her three children and four grandchildren were rescued from her south Bossier Parish mobile home after rising water threatened to trap them. Several other families had already been trapped, and the water was still rising, she said. 'This morning it was touching the bottom of the houses,' she said. 'Now the steps on my back porch are underwater and if you walk down the driveway, it's over the knee.' Anderson said they were pretty much surrounded by the water. The road into the area is flooded and another outlet that has a bridge is closed because of water. 'We're literally trapped,' Anderson said. 'You have to get a boat to get to our doors in this neighborhood.' Several Louisiana parishes have declared a state of emergency, and the National Guard was sent in Gov. John Bel Edwards issued the National Guard order after nearly a foot of rain fell Tuesday night and Wednesday. The governor's office says eight guardsmen and four high water vehicles will be used in Bossier Parish to assist where needed. The Louisiana National Guard transported Anderson's family and others from the neighborhood in a huge military truck later Wednesday. She said they planned to stay with family and in a hotel until the water receded. Bossier Parish Sheriff Julian Whittington said a mandatory evacuation is in place for several neighborhoods and subdivisions. Displaced residents can find shelter at the Bossier Civic Center. Meanwhile, Louisiana wildlife and fisheries enforcement agents have rescued more than three dozen people so far from flooded areas in Webster Parish. Louisiana State Police closed a section of Interstate 20 near Gibsland after both the eastbound and westbound lanes were covered with a foot of water, making the road impassible. Meteorologist Matthew Duplantis of the National Weather Service in Shreveport said Wednesday rain brought an additional two-to-four inches to the area. The system will also contain severe weather in the form of high winds and the possibility of isolated tornados. Northwestern State University's campuses in Natchitoches and Shreveport will be closed Thursday due to weather conditions, as are Bossier Parish public schools. Over southeast Louisiana, including the New Orleans metro area, forecasters say the slow-moving low pressure system is expected to bring a few rounds of heavy rainfall beginning Thursday morning and continuing through early Saturday. Rainfall totals could reach 10 inches in some areas and could result in some flooding. In rural southeastern Oklahoma, a 30-year-old man drowned Tuesday night after trying to drive his SUV across a low-crossing bridge that was covered by floodwaters. And in Texas, a 22-year-old man drowned Monday night after his canoe capsized in Dickinson Bayou, southeast of Houston near Galveston Bay. The flooding comes after recent severe thunderstorms raged across parts of Central and North Texas. A tornado struck a mobile home park in the North Texas town of Tolar on Monday morning, smashing some homes and injuring two people after two other tornadoes late Sunday injured two people in the North Texas towns of Stephenville and Cool. Associated Press reporters Chevel Johnson and Bill Fuller in New Orleans contributed to this report.

'New Morality' Movement Pushes Big to Silence Christians

3:00PM EST 3/3/2016 Paul Strand/CBN

Some say American Christians are paranoid, that they're feeling targeted and persecuted. But is it possible America is facing a growing anti-Christian agenda? Some on the frontline of the culture wars have responded with a resounding "yes." They feel it up close and personal – right in their faces. "I'm particularly sensitive to that because I'm Jewish," Brian Camenker, with Mass Resistance, told CBN News. "I saw what happened to Jews in the 1930s and '40s and much of that same thing is happening to Christians now," he said. "There's an organized movement to demonize Christians." Maggie Gallagher, with the American Principles Project, agreed. "What we're seeing very clearly is an effort to target them [Christians] legally when possible and then to humiliate or deprive them of social respect," she said. Much of this comes from abortion and gay rights groups and their supporters. "They see Christianity as refusing to affirm the things they wish to indulge in," said Peter Sprigg, senior fellow for policy studies at the Family Research Council. Both Sprigg and Rev. Bill Owens, with the Coalition of African-American Pastors, are frequent targets of gay rights groups. "They cannot accept any moral code that says what they do is wrong and in order to avoid any sort of guilt that might come upon them if anyone says that what they're doing is wrong, they want to eliminate that kind of communication from the culture altogether," Sprigg explained. Owens continued, "There's a strong agenda to silence Christians. You see it every day. You can't walk out of your house and not see something anti-Christian." Some say gay and transgender rights groups have carefully mimicked the Civil Rights movement. "They have copied that movement, studied it, dissected it, and they knew exactly what to do," Owens said. "And one of the things they had to do was silence the Christian community." These folks say one reason the gay rights movement co-opted the civil rights movement is that today's society see opponents of civil rights as narrow-minded, bigoted, and racist. They're hoping their opponents will be seen through the same lens and unfortunately, Christians are often these modern-day opponents." "If you disagree, you're a bigot and a hater and a racist, right? So you put that together and it's a pretty powerful agenda," Gallagher said. "I suspect it's a minority of the Left who actually believes it, but powerful organized minorities often drive culture and politics in different ways." "We often talk of this as a threat to religious liberty, and it is that," Sprigg said. "But if you really drill down, the religious liberty of Muslims, Jews and Hindus is not being attacked. It's the religious liberty of Christians." "And it's not over," Camenker warned. "I mean now that they have gay marriage, they're doing their push for these severe anti-discrimination laws to punish Christians who don't go along with the agenda." It's not that these folks just want moral neutrality. Their new laws push a new morality. "The Left's idea is that to be a good person you have to believe that the only thing in the world that cannot be changed is sexual orientation," Gallagher explained. "And the moral message they send is that it is morally wrong to disapprove of homosexual conduct. It is morally wrong to disapprove of transgender conduct," Sprigg added. "That two men in a loving union are just the same as a husband and wife, that children do not need mothers and fathers, that the ability to create new life is not significant enough to build a social institution around," Gallagher said. "They perceive Christianity as being a source of oppression. That's partly because they don't understand Christianity. They don't understand that Christ came to set us free, not imprison us," Sprigg said. Last year's Supreme Court decision making gay marriage the law of the land super charges the legal efforts many Christians believe will increasingly demonize their biblical beliefs and them along with it. http://www.charismanews.com/us/55601-new-morality-movement-pushes-big-to-silence-christians

Errant, not transparent: Docs reveal Obama admin. tried to ‘kill transparency’ – advocacy group

Published time: 10 Mar, 2016 02:54

President Barack Obama has touted his administration as the “most transparent ever,” but the Freedom of the Press Foundation says documents released under a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit show an effort to “kill transparency.” The non-profit Freedom of the Press Foundation sued the Department of Justice (DOJ) for documents detailing its correspondence with Congress regarding the reform of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) that failed to pass Congress last year despite strong support from legislators. The lawsuit itself was filed in compliance with the FOIA, a law enacted to improve openness in government. In 2014, the FOIA Oversight and Implementation Act (FOIA Act) sought to make receiving information faster and easier. The FOIA Act breezed through the House of Representatives with unanimous support, and a similar bill, The Freedom of Information Improvements Act, was passed by the Senate. However, the legislation failed in Congress after members failed to reconcile the differences between the two bills. With both bills receiving bipartisan support, it seemed odd for them to die on the vine. The Senate version was modeled after the DOJ’s own policy of transparency set in 2009 by a memo from Attorney General Eric Holder. “[T]he Department of Justice will defend a denial of a FOIA request only if (1) the agency reasonably foresees that disclosure would harm an interest protected by one of the statutory exemptions, or (2) disclosure is prohibited by law,” the 2009 Holder memo read. However, the Freedom of the Press Foundation published a memo from the DOJ showing that it had lobbied against almost all aspects of the bills – despite the fact that its own guidelines were the basis for one. The DOJ, speaking on behalf of the entire Obama administration, wrote “The Administration strongly opposes passage of [the FOIA Act].” Specifically, the DOJ’s talking points against similar provisions in the FOIA reform bills run counter to the part of Holder’s 2009 memo stating that when “disclosure would [do] harm,” the DOJ would defend its decision to deny a FOIA request in court. In the 2014 memo from the DOJ, the first major concern surrounds “foreseeable harm,” but the concern this time was that the language had been included in the legislation at all, because it opened up the DOJ to more potential lawsuits, in which the “forseeable harm” case would have to be made to a judge. “This addition would vastly increase FOIA litigation and would undermine the policy behind each of the existing exemptions,” the 2014 memo read. Ironically, this memo was only released following three months of lawsuits from the Freedom of the Press Foundation. The 2014 memo goes on to say that including foreseeable harm would “require judges to determine, on a document-by-document basis, whether disclosure of a record protected by an exemption would cause ‘identifiable harm,’” meaning, a judge would determine whether or not the administration’s claims of foreseeable harm were true – much like what a judge does in any other case. Efforts to expedite requests through a singular website were also met with resistance from the DOJ, despite the fact that “the Administration believes that it is beneficial to study the feasibility of establishing a single website for the making of FOIA requests… and has already committed to doing so.” Despite the administration’s stated intention to create such a site, the memo concluded that it “would be counterproductive to mandate establishment of a pilot program, with required participation by multiple agencies.” Obama started off his presidency by instructing all federal agencies to operate under the “presumption of openness,” but five years later, his administration lobbied to keep the public in the dark.

Freightliner to lay off 1,250 employees in Mt. Holly, Cleveland

by: Mark Becker Updated: Feb 15, 2016 - 4:53 PM

GASTON COUNTY, N.C. — Workers at Daimler’s truck manufacturing plants in Mount Holly and Cleveland, North Carolina, said they were told Monday morning that the company is cutting hundreds of jobs at each plant at the end of the week. Daimler has taken over the plants that were run by Freightliner in Rowan and Gaston counties, and workers at the plant in Cleveland told Eyewitness News the announcement of job cuts came as a shock to many. “I know that I'm one of the ones that's going to be laid off, so it's going to affect me,” said Andre Tucker, who began working at the plant in May 2014. Tucker said he expects that Friday will be his last day on the job, but that the company is offering to pay the employees who lose their jobs through the middle of April. “Right now probably the biggest thing is to figure out the next step as far as trying to find a new job,” Tucker, who has a wife and two children, said. Daimler confirmed the job cuts late Monday, saying that 700 jobs would be cut in Mount Holly and 550 in Cleveland, due to a reduction in orders for their trucks. The company told workers about the cuts in a series of town hall meetings. Jamall Cuthbertson, who has worked in the plant in Cleveland for about 20 years, said it was a tough day. “Just some sad people this morning. It's just terrible right now,” he said. The pain reaches far past the company’s fence. Daimler is one of the biggest employers in Rowan County and laid off almost 900 employees in January. You don’t have to go any farther than the convenience store across the highway to find the impact of the layoffs. “Everybody around here's been hurting, and it's going to hurt even more,” said Bibi Bacchus, who runs the register there. The local United Way held a workshop and job fair for employees laid off in January, and may have to repeat it for this round of workers. But the man who heads up economic development in Rowan County says the job picture is still bright. “We are starting to diversify and we do have a number of employers across sectors that are looking to add people,” Robert Van Geons said. Read the statement from Daimler Trucks: Pursuant to the notification requirements of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 ("WARN"), Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) has announced that it will implement a reduction in force of approximately 700 employees at its Mt. Holly Truck Manufacturing Plant and approximately 550 employees at its Cleveland Truck Manufacturing Plant, effective April 16, 2016. Employees at the Mt. Holly and Cleveland plants were notified in Town Hall meetings yesterday and today. The last day of work for employees affected by this announcement will be Friday, February 19, 2016 in both facilities. Impacted employees will receive payment in lieu of the notice period at each employee's regular rate of pay, and employees are free to seek and accept other employment during the notice period without jeopardizing their entitlement to the WARN period payment or benefits. As of February 22, the workforce at the Mt. Holly Truck Manufacturing Plant will be reduced from approximately 2,150 to approximately 1,450 employees, with plant operations scaled back to two full shifts per day. The workforce at the Cleveland Truck Manufacturing Plant will be reduced from approximately 2,150 to approximately 1,600, with plant production scheduled at one full shift per day. The Cleveland reduction in force is in addition to a previous workforce adjustment announced in January affecting approximately 936 employees at the Cleveland Truck Manufacturing Plant, effective March 5, 2016. These workforce adjustments are in response to a sustained reduction in orders and a diminished build rate, and are expected to be temporary, based on future market developments. 2015 was an extraordinarily strong market for trucks in NAFTA. DTNA anticipates the North American truck market Class 6 to 8 to be down around minus 10 percent in 2016. This is still expected to be above the 2014 Class 6 to 8 market. The Mt. Holly Truck Manufacturing Plant is located in Mt. Holly, North Carolina and manufactures medium-duty Freightliner trucks. The Cleveland Truck Manufacturing Plant is located in Cleveland, North Carolina and manufactures heavy-duty Freightliner and Western Star trucks. The company has no further comment pertaining to the announcement.

Fox News Reports Marco Rubio To Suspend Campaign

But Ted Cruz better not Tweet the link. Truth Revolt | Caleb Howe - March 10, 2016

Charles Gasparino @CGasparino Top @marcorubio donors say barring a positive poll, the Senator will suspend his campaign prior to the Fla primary.

11:59 AM - 9 Mar 2016

The latest in the ongoing “Will he or won’t he?” drama has Fox News reporting today that his big donors are pressuring Marco Rubio to drop out of the race immediately — as in, before the Florida primary. When CNN aired a similar report two days ago, the drama was high as Rubio’s Communications Manager stormed CNN to set the record straight that his candidate was not even entertaining the notion. Then three hours ago, Fox News aired a very similar report. Earlier today, CBS did the same. When CNN’s report came out, the Cruz campaign was pilloried by Rubio supporters claiming that they were playing dirty by referencing the news report from the major network. Will Cruz take the blame for these two new reports as well? Either way, the Rubio camp is still flatly denying the reports.

Why This Recent Piece of ISIS Intelligence Stands Out

Mark Thompson @MarkThompson_DC March 13, 2016

An ISIS membership list eclipses the capture of its "Chemical Ali"

Two bonanzas surfaced in the war against the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) last week, although placing them in proper perspective proved daunting. You wouldn’t have gleaned any insight at Friday’s Pentagon press briefing, where Baghdad-based Army Colonel Steve Warren handled multiple questions via video conference about ISIS’s chemical weapons. But he didn’t get a single one on the list of 22,000 ISIS members that fell into the hands of the anti-ISIS coalition led by the U.S. The revelation that U.S. commandos snared ISIS’s chemical-weapons chief was important, but it pales alongside the flash drive containing a roster of ISIS agents a disgruntled militant handed over to Britain’s Sky News. Other news organizations in Europe received similar data, and U.S. officials say it’s already being shared with Western intelligence agencies. Each episode, in its own way, suggests progress in the 20-month U.S.-lead war on the the group. The capture of Iraqi Sleiman Daoud al-Afari transformed him into the 21st century’s version of “Chemical Ali.” The original was a Saddam Hussein general who earned the moniker for killing thousands of Kurds with mustard gas, sarin, tabun and VX in the 1980s and 1990s (the original “Chemical Ali,” Ali Hassan Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti, was hanged in 2010). Afari’s seizure by U.S. Army Delta Force commandos has led to air strikes on a pair of alleged mustard-gas stockpiles he purportedly identified near Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, and one that ISIS has held for nearly two years. Both Iraq and Syria have had mustard gas in their arsenals in the past. U.S. forces feared such chemical weapons during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and trained in heavy and cumbersome suits to limit their exposure. But the only U.S. casualties resulting from Iraq’s chemical weapons happened when U.S. troops stumbled upon abandoned stockpiles. Mustard gas, while potent, killed only 5% of the troops exposed to it during World War I. In fact chemical weapons, despite their horror (a reported Saturday attack near the northern Iraq city of Kirkuk killed a 3-year-old girl and wounded 600), make lousy weapons of war. Logistically, they’re difficult to transport and deploy, and an unexpected wind can render them impotent, or even dangerous to the attacker using them. “It’s not a high threat. We’re not, frankly, losing too much sleep over it,” Warren said Friday. “It’s a fairly relatively ineffective as a weapon, though, because it’s very non-persistent, so you drop it, it goes up, disappears.” The good news associated with Afari’s capture was that it was carried out by what the Pentagon calls its “Expeditionary Targeting Force,” a pair of 50-man special-ops units dispatched to the region in December with the express mission of killing or capturing ISIS leaders (the bad news was that it took the Pentagon 17 months after the war on ISIS began to send it into action). But the more important revelation was the flash drive naming up to 22,000 ISIS members from 51 nations, complete with their answers to 23 survey questions (including blood type, date and place of birth, mother’s maiden name, knowledge of sharia and experience). The list goes a long way to ripping the mask off of foreign ISIS fighters who had hope to return home to carry out terror attacks. Sky News’ source reportedly stole the flash drive from the leader of ISIS’s internal police. That source, who calls himself “Abu Hamed,” is reportedly a one-time Free Syrian Army fighter who bolted to the Islamic State. But he became embittered, saying that ISIS’s original Islamic goals have been pushed aside by former Baath Party troops who once fought for Saddam Hussein. His theft—German officials have said they believe the roster is authentic—signals that months of air strikes are helping to grind ISIS down and leading to fissures within its ranks. While the list dates from 2013—and some of its names are already known to the U.S. and other nations fighting ISIS—the betrayal it represents is of far more consequence than any particulars, or the capture of any chemical agent.

Egyptian Teens Convicted of Blasphemy for Video Mocking ISIS

by F. Brinley Bruton Mar 14 2016, 8:46 am ET

A leading rights group on Monday called on Egyptian authorities to quash blasphemy sentences handed down to four teens and their teacher for a video they made mocking ISIS. An Egyptian court convicted the four Christian teenagers for contempt of Islam on February 25 after they appeared in the video appearing to make fun of Muslim prayers, according to The Associated Press. Three were sentenced to between three and five years in prison while a fourth was referred to a juvenile detention facility, the news agency added. Human Rights Watch said Monday that "these children shouldn't face prison for expressing themselves, even with an immature joke" and urged Egypt to protect free speech "instead of giving in to retrograde views" about blasphemy. "Mocking ISIS, or any religious group, with a childish joke is not a crime," Nadim Houry, deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch, said in a statement. The teens were not present at their sentencing and have yet to turn themselves in or be apprehended, the group said. It named the four as Mueller Edward, 17; Bassem Hanna, 16; Alber Ashraf, 16; and Clinton Yousef, 17. Their teacher, Gad Yousef Younan, was sentenced to three years in a separate trial.

Trump claims man who tried to rush stage at Ohio rally connected to ISIS

By Tribune news services Contact Reporter March 12, 2016 9:04 pm Vandalia, Ohio

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is claiming that the man who tried to rush the stage at his Ohio rally Saturday morning is connected to Islamic State militants — an allegation Middle East experts dismiss as farcical. Trump was mid-speech at a rally at an airport near Dayton when a man, later identified by authorities as Thomas Dimassimo of Fairborn, Ohio, jumped a barricade and rushed at Trump. Video from the rally shows Dimassimo was able to touch the stage before security officials tackled him. Trump campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks said a man had attempted attempted "to breach the secure buffer." He was removed "rapidly and professionally," she said in a statement. Matt Miller, a Trump supporter who owns a body shop in Dayton, said he was standing near the podium when the agents took to the stage to protect Trump. "We just saw a kid that tried to rush the stage. The Secret Service tackled him right away," Miller said. Speaking at a rally later Saturday in St. Louis, Trump told the crowd about the incident and said that, after learning the man's name, one of his "Internet people" discovered something shocking: alleged evidence that linked Dimassimo to Islamic State militants. "It was probably ISIS or ISIS-related. Do you believe it?" Trump asked the crowd. He said that an online search had revealed "the guy is playing all sorts of, let's say music that you wouldn't be liking, dragging an American flag along the sidewalk, making all sorts of gestures, having all sorts of things on the Internet. And he's probably or possibly ISIS-related." Trump appeared to be referring to a video, which was posted on his official Twitter account, that shows student protesters stepping on American flags, declaring, "Black Live Matters" and talking to reporters while religious music plays. It appears to be an edited version of a video posted on YouTube in April 2015 captioned, "Students at Wright State University #NotMyFlag protest. The protest occurred to stand in solidarity with the symbolic actions of Eric Sheppard." The original does not include the religious soundtrack. Hassan Hassan, the co-author of the book "ISIS: Inside the Army of Terror," says the video is "definitely not an ISIS video" based on its content. "This is utterly farcical; the video is incontrovertibly fake and Trump's accusations about it being linked to ISIS serve only to underline the totality of his ignorance on this issue," said Charles Lister, a fellow at the Middle East Institute. Lister noted the video contains a long list of elements that a jihadi video would never include, among them countless uncovered women, men in shorts and tank tops, and a man holding arms with a woman. "Nobody can deny that ISIS poses a threat to U.S. national security, but giving credence to such ridiculous claims is arguably even more dangerous," Lister said.

North Korea claims it could wipe out Manhattan with a hydrogen bomb

By Anna Fifield The Washington Post March 13, 2016

North Korea claimed Sunday that it could wipe out Manhattan by sending a hydrogen bomb on a ballistic missile to the heart of New York, the latest in a string of brazen threats. Although there are many reasons to believe that Kim Jong Un's regime is exaggerating its technical capabilities, the near-daily drumbeat of boasts and warnings from Pyongyang underlines the regime's anger at efforts to thwart its ambitions. "Our hydrogen bomb is much bigger than the one developed by the Soviet Union," DPRK Today, a state-run outlet that uses the official acronym for North Korea, reported Sunday. "If this H-bomb were to be mounted on an inter-continental ballistic missile and fall on Manhattan in New York City, all the people there would be killed immediately and the city would burn down to ashes," the report said, citing a nuclear scientist named Cho Hyong Il. The website is a strange choice for issuing such a proclamation, given that it also carried reports about rabbit farming and domestically made school backpacks. North Korea's newly developed hydrogen bomb "surpasses our imagination," Cho is quoted as saying, because it is many times as powerful as anything the Soviet Union had. "The H-bomb developed by the Soviet Union in the past was able to smash windows of buildings 1,000 kms away and the heat was strong enough to cause third-degree burns 100 kms away," the report continued. Kim in January ordered North Korea's fourth nuclear test and claimed that it was a hydrogen bomb, not a simple atomic one. But most experts are skeptical of the claim, saying the seismic waves caused by the blast were similar to those caused by the North's three previous tests. Then in February, Kim oversaw the launch of what North Korea said was a rocket that put a satellite into orbit but that is widely considered part of a long-range ballistic missile program. North Korea has made advances in its inter-continental ballistic missile program, and experts generally conclude that the United States' West Coast might now be in reach but that there has been no suggestion that the North would be able to hit the East Coast. Many experts are also skeptical of the "miniaturized warhead" that Kim showed off last week during a visit to a nuclear weapons plant, saying it doesn't look right. But Jeffrey Lewis, director of the East Asia nonproliferation program at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, warned against dismissing it too soon. "It does not look like U.S. devices, to be sure, but it is hard to know if aspects of the model are truly implausible or simply that North Korean nuclear weapons look different than their Soviet and American cousins," Lewis wrote in an analysis for 38 North, a website devoted to North Korea. "The size, however, is consistent with my expectations for North Korea." As international condemnation of the North's acts mounted, culminating in the toughest U.N. sanctions against Pyongyang yet, Kim's regime has become increasingly belligerent, firing missiles into the Sea of Japan, also known as the East Sea, and issuing a new threat or denunciation almost every day. The sanctions coincide with annual spring drills between the U.S. and South Korean militaries, which Pyongyang considers a rehearsal for an invasion. The current exercises are particularly antagonistic because special forces are practicing "decapitation strikes" on regime leaders and taking out nuclear and missile sites. On Friday, North Korea's state media reported that Kim had ordered more nuclear tests, while the North's Korean People's Army warned in a statement Saturday that it would counter the drills by "liberat[ing] the whole of South Korea including Seoul ... with an ultra-precision blitzkrieg strike of the Korean style." South Korea's Defense Ministry urged Pyongyang to stop its threats and provocations. "If the North continues to make provocations despite the stern warnings made by our military, it is inevitable for us to roll out a strict response that may lead to the destruction of the Pyongyang regime," South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement, according to the Yonhap News Agency.

Ivory Coast gunmen who killed 16 had sights set on Obama official, source says

Published March 13, 2016 FoxNews.com

Facebook Twitter livefyre Email

A deadly attack on a popular Ivory Coast beach resort Sunday that killed at least 16 most likely targeted a U.S. delegation led by the assistant commerce secretary, who was visiting the country, a diplomatic source in the region told Fox News. There was no indication any Americans had been killed or wounded in the attack, according to the source. Assistant Secretary of Commerce Marcus Jadotte was leading a group of Americans in Grand-Bassam, including college recruiters from the University of Florida. U.S. embassy officials from the capital city of Abidjan were also included in the group, according to the source. The delegation was supposed to arrive at the scene of the attack, Etoile du Sud, a hotel popular with Westerners. The delegation had not yet made it to the hotel when the attack occurred. A jihadist group called Ansar Dine, or "defenders of the faith," which is linked to Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, was suspected of the attack, the source said. Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb later claimed responsibility for the attack, according to a Jihad monitoring website cited by the Associated Press. The US Embassy in Ivory Coast had instructed all Americans to "shelter in place" following the attack. The U.S. ambassador to the Ivory Coast was not in the country at the time of the attack, having left to attend a conference in Washington led by Secretary of State John Kerry. But the deadly attack did leave 14 civilians and two special forces soldiers dead, as well as all six attackers, President Alassane Ouattara said, according to Reuters. The attackers, who were "heavily armed and wearing balaclavas, fired at guests at the Etoile du Sud, a large hotel which was full of expats in the current heatwave," a witness told AFP. Marcel Guy said he saw at least four gunmen with Kalashnikov rifles on the beach. He said one approached two children, and spoke in Arabic. One child knelt and prayed, the other child was shot dead. "I was swimming when it started and I ran away," said Dramane Kima, who showed video of the carnage to Reuters. He also took pictures of grenades and ammunition clips he believed were left behind by the gunmen. Jacques Able, who identified himself as the owner of Etoile du Sud said one person had been killed at the hotel. A receptionist at Etoile du Sud hotel said the attacks happened on the beach. "We don't know where they came from, and we don't know where they've gone," he said of the gunmen. etc. and the news story continues..

At Least 34 Dead, 125 Wounded in Car Bombing in Turkish Capital

Explosion occurs weeks after car bomb attack in Ankara killed 29; Ankara court orders ban on Facebook, Twitter after images from blast were shared; Netanyahu condemns attacks, expresses solidarity with Turkish people.

At least 34 people were killed and another 125 were wounded in a suicide car bombing in the Turkish capital of Ankara on Sunday evening. At least one or two of the casualties were the perpetrators of the attack, Turkey's health minister said. He added that 125 people were being treated at hospitals, and that 19 of the wounded were in serious condition. Attacks like the car bombing in Ankara will only bolster Turkey's resolve in fighting terrorism and it will never give up the right to defend itself, President Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday. In a statement hours after the car bombing, Erdogan said terrorist organizations were targeting civilians because they were losing their struggle against the security forces.

From Ferguson to Chicago

Left-wing fascists go for Donald Trump.

March 14, 2016 Matthew Vadum

The riot planned and executed by the Left at the canceled Donald Trump campaign rally in Chicago on Friday was just the latest in a long series of mob disturbances manufactured by radicals to advance their political agendas. Even so, it is a particularly poisonous assault on the American body politic that imperils the nation's most important free institution – the ballot. "The meticulously orchestrated #Chicago assault on our free election process is as unAmerican as it gets," tweeted actor James Woods. "It is a dangerous precedent." This so-called protest, and the disruptions at subsequent Trump events over the weekend, were not spontaneous, organic demonstrations. The usual culprits were involved behind the scenes. The George Soros-funded organizers of the riot at the University of Illinois at Chicago relied on the same fascistic tactics the Left has been perfecting for decades – including claiming to be peaceful and pro-democracy even as they use violence to disrupt the democratic process. Activists associated with MoveOn, Black Lives Matter, and Occupy Wall Street, all of which have been embraced by Democrats and funded by radical speculator George Soros, participated in shutting down the Trump campaign event. Soros recently also launched a $15 million voter-mobilization effort against Trump in Colorado, Florida, and Nevada through a new super PAC called Immigrant Voters Win. The title is a characteristic misdirection since Trump supports immigration that is legal. It’s the invasion of illegals who have not been vetted and are filling America’s welfare rolls and jails that is the problem. Among the extremist groups involved in disrupting the Trump rally in Chicago were the revolutionary communist organization ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism), National Council of La Raza (“the Race”), and the Illinois Coalition of Immigrant and Rights Reform. President Obama's unrepentant terrorist collaborator Bill Ayers, who was one of the leaders of Days of Rage the precursor riot at the Democratic convention in Chicago in 1968, also showed up to stir the pot. The goal was to help reinforce the media narrative that Trump is a dangerous authoritarian figure who needs to be stopped now before he upsets too many people and proclaims himself emperor, or some fevered fantasy like that. The organized rioters who showed up at UIC to taunt and bait Trump supporters, hoped to generate compelling TV clips that could be used to attack the Republican front-runner. The people who infiltrated the Trump rally and attacked his supporters weren't mere protesters and were not nonviolent. By now, after decades of getting away with lawlessness and mayhem, nonviolent left-wing protesters are as rare as four-leaf clovers. They are violent agitators, trained in Alinsky-style disruption, aiming to shut Trump and his supporters down by any means they can get away with. These modern-day brownshirts use force and the threat of force to harass and intimidate, and to provoke people who have come to a peaceful assembly to hear their candidate speak. "Many of these people come from Bernie [Sanders]," Trump said, pointing out how since the 1968 riot at the Democratic convention street radicals and party radicals have become a seamless force. On "Face the Nation" Trump called them "professional disrupters" a polite name for incipient fascists. Since the liberal media was already blaming him for the anti-Trump thuggery, he told them, "I don't accept responsibility," Trump said on Sunday TV. "I do not condone violence in any shape." In speeches since Friday Trump regularly invokes Bernie Sanders when an activist disrupts. He calls them "Bernie's people." At one stop, Trump said, "Get 'em out. Hey Bernie, get your people in line." Although Sanders supporters are well-represented among the anti-Trump thugs, the self-described socialist senator from Vermont denied the charge. But Bernie’s campaign is so focused on demonizing the rich and blaming them for America’s problems, the hatred he is retailing can reasonably be called an incitement to those who buy his propaganda and support him. Sanders after all is a lifetime admirer of Communist states like the Soviet Union and Cuba where this kind of thuggery is a political norm. So even if he’s telling the truth and did give the orders to his followers to be there, he’s lying. They came because they hate rich people too. Major organizations of the left who are backing Sanders, like Moveon.org openly bragged about trampling on Trump's free speech rights in Chicago, and promised more of it.

Anti-Trump MOB FOR HIRE Ad In Chicago Craigslist Days Before Violent Protest - Man Who Attacked Trump Made Short Film Calling For Killings Of Whites And Is An 'Actor' With An IMDb Page Dating Back To 2004

March 13, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

A September 2015 story from the nation of Pakistan can offer America a stern warning about what is happening here now in America in 2016 and what may be coming 'en masse' to America this Summer. Called "Investigating Pakistan's 'Mobs For Hire'", we learn that to outsiders it can often look like 'mob rule' in Pakistan with frequent attacks and lynchings of religious minorities that go unarrested and unpunished. However, we also learn in the same story that what seems like 'mob rule' to the untrained eye is something else entirely; highly profitable organized businesses are running and renting out mobs where 'anything is available at the right price'. We're also told that police are powerless to do anything against these 'mobs for hire' and the businesses running them since a 'parallel system of governance' has been formed and police are prevented from doing their jobs, with arrests often met by threats against their jobs or the lives of the officers themselves. Social unrest is also on the rise in Pakistan with Islamic radicalism a very real threat to the lives of every minority in the country as society fails and the poor and unemployed happily taking paid roles to disturb the peace, lynch, murder and do whatever else they're paid to do. Flash forward to 2016 America. Back in the beginning of January 2016, a very strange anti-Donald Trump ad showed up on the Austin, Texas Craigslist looking for 'troublemakers'. Submitted by a Chicago producer with a 'professional reputation', the ad was taken down soon after Infowars, Investment Watch Blog and several other websites publicized the advertisement. Not surprisingly, a new ad has recently sprung up, another anti-Trump and anti-Conservatives Craigslist ad that, coincidentally or not, showed up in the Chicago Craigslist days prior to the huge violent protest that recently took down a Donald Trump rally. In fact, 'mobs for hire' are a very real phenomenon and big business in America and according to several we have visited online today, one can purchase a 'flash mob' for almost any occasion though this Forbes story tells us they are quite pricey. Could one purchase a mob for mass protests that might turn violent? We also see absolute proof here that there are paid positions for those who seek to become involved in these rebellions, quite an incentive for college students and others who are unable to obtain employment in this rapidly collapsing economy. While Grassroots Campaigns has not yet returned a phone call to ANP requesting more information about them or if they were involved in what recently happened in Chicago or Dayton, Ohio, we've gotten more proof that the person who was arrested for charging the stage when Trump was speaking in Dayton is bad news as seen in the screenshot above and video directly below, a short movie which he wrote and directed. Tommy DiMassimo also has an IMDb page....yes, he is an actor. The video below is the trailer for a movie he wrote called "Red, Black and Blue" in which he plays the role of 'killer cop'. DiMassimo was released on $300 bond. Keep in mind, DiMassimo wrote this movie. Calling for violence against whites, is this video more proof that things could get very bad very quickly? Should DiMassimo have even been released back upon the streets? While I have long advocated protest against injustice, I have always condemned violent protest as it only serves as a tool to those who'd like to think of themselves as our 'masters', the New World Order globalists. Ever the tool of the globalists and specifically George Soros and his 'color revolutions' that have taken place around the world, we now have more proof that these 'rebellions' are being organized and designed by the very elitists themselves that the 'rebellion' seeks to 'rebel against'. With the NWO globalists staging this rebellion against order, liberty and America in their last ditch effort to overthrow America before a president who would put America first is WILLED into office by the American people, we see that the 'Summer of 2016' will likely go down in the history books as the year 'absolute corruption' will do anything possible to hold onto their power and control, including race war and martial law with no elections. In the videos below we take a look at what's now happening from several different angles including the 1st video which tells us of the Neocons panic over a potential Trump presidency that could be the final nail in the coffin of the 'new world order' from Gary Franchi at the Next News Network. In the 2nd video below, we see from Infowars what the mainstream media refuses to publish that is now happening at Donald Trump rallies as Americans of all nationalities, colors and political backgrounds are coming together for the good of the country and humanity. In the 3rd video below, also from Infowars, we learn why Barack Obama has become the 'divide and conquer' president and what might be coming next. Here is the original Craigslist ad mentioned above seeking 'troublemakers' from those who dislike Trump. The link below is no longer good after having been deleted once Infowars and other websites exposed this. You can also see the most recent ad from Grassroots Campaigns as well as a list of their clients, including Barack Obama and Joe Biden, below videos. http://austin.craigslist.org/cpg/5383376820.html  They’re up to no good! if (a) the thought of humiliating D.T. on an international stage appeals to you and, (b) being part of the anonymous team of talented and creative anti T. enthusiasts who perpetrate the (in no way violent or injurious) stunt that if properly executed will fulfill that goal and, most importantly (c), in addition to all of that you are very well versed in Photoshop, After Effects, any 3D modeling tools, HTML, web design, copywriting or any combination thereof… I’d love to hear from you sooner than later.

In 2011, Zibigniew Brzezinski lamented that the people were waking up to the tyranny that he and his fellow globalists were perpetrating upon humanity. At the time, I thought that the following Brzezinski quote was alarmist and not based on fact. " It used to be so much easier to control a million people than to kill them, but today it is infinitely easier to kill one million people than to control them!" So long as the global elite controlled 95% of the media, courtesy of Bill Clinton deregulation, I did not believe that the Independent Media had any chance to wake up the slumbering masses. Collectively, the mass media produced a condition called “group think”. In large part, the American people have been conquered through the principle of group think. Throughout history, group think has played a prominent role in coercing the public of any nation into going to war for the benefit of the elite ruling class and their financial bottom line. Group think is a term coined by social psychologist Irving Janis in 1972, and it occurs when a group makes faulty decisions because group pressures lead to a deterioration of “mental efficiency, reality testing, and moral judgment”. Groups affected by group think ignore alternatives and tend to take irrational actions that dehumanize other groups. A group is especially vulnerable to group think (e.g. reducing people to a “conspiracy theorist” status) when someone is accusing the government of wrong-doing. Group think gets an individual to unquestionably accept the will of the elite as represented by the Main Stream Media. It is the psychological phenomenon which explains the incredulous idea that there is no such thing as a conspiracy theory as if two bad people would never get together and plan to do something bad. The phenomenon results in this…. “Yes we can sacrifice liberty for security. And there is no such thing as a conspiracy.” Self-appointed ‘mindguards’ becomes a key operating component of the group. Members protect the group and the leader from information that is problematic or contradictory to the group’s cohesiveness, view, and/or decisions. This is the central operating principle of the maintenance of group think. Any dissension inside the group is quickly dealt with as if the dissenter were a member of the group of which their group is aligned against (George W. Bush’s proclamation of .. This is the role of Fox, CNN and the rest of the MSM and it results in this…. “Yes we can go to war, die for the corporations, sacrifice our kids future an believe that free trade agreements like the TPP, NAFTA, CAFTA and how America got the SHAFTA, are good. This paradigm of group think as delivered trough the MSM was getting Americans to literally and figuratively commit suicide. And amazingly, through group think, many Americans would defend the practice and chastise who would dare point out the dangers. At least the paradigm was working until this man decided to get into politics. Almost nobody is paying attention to the MSM and their lies and attacks upon Donald Trump and they are in disbelief that they can longer control the majority of us. Throughout my academic career, I have immersed myself in discovering how change occurs. Why do some movements take hold and win the day, while others die on the vine? The answer, coming from the field of social psychology, is surprisingly simple. The flip side of group think also exists. The antidote to group think is more group think in the form of presenting a group think psychology that is the antithesis of the existing paradigm being perpetrated today “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the public believes is false.” William Casey, former CIA Director Group Think vs. Confirmation Bias The social psychological term, confirmation bias, refers to the fact that the masses will believe even the biggest of lies, if they hear it often enough. Confirmation bias and group think work hand in hand to enslave Americans into believing in and accepting a self-destructive paradigm. Television MSM news has a filtering impact on the perception of reality. The psychological concept of confirmation bias means that when we hear a message often enough, we come to unquestionably accept the message as authentic and real. And the message is amazingly consistent because only six globalist corporate entities control over 90% of the media. CAN THE PEOPLE EVER BREAK FREE OF CONFIRMATION BIAS AND GROUP THINK? The short answer is a resounding yes and it is has already happened courtesy of Donald Trump. Below is a critical piece of psychological research which describes how this shift has already happened. The Ten Percent Factor When 10% of the people take hold of an idea, the idea spreads like wildfire. Scientists from the prestigious Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have determined that if just 10% of any given population holds to an unshakable idea, that the idea will become adopted by the majority of the country. However, the scientists who belong to the Social Cognitive Networks Academic Research Center (SCNARC) found that if the ideas are shared by less than 10% of the population, the idea will not progress and will eventually die out. The research was first published in a peer reviewed E Journal in an article entitled “Social consensus through the influence of committed minorities.” Computational and analytical methods were used to discover the tipping point where an obscure idea eventually becomes the majority opinion. The finding has dramatic implications for those of us trying to wake up the sheep in this country. The SNARC scientists found that the 10% figure was applicable whether they were talking about the spread of innovations or to advance an ideal. Reaching 10% of the population should be the objective of the alternative media and the primary goal should be the preservation of the soul and not to be quite as focused on achieving physical victory in this realm of existence. Conclusion The lies are exposed. Hillary and Bill cannot unring the bill, the truth has been exposed for millions of people to see. When people visit my website and listen to my live broadcast and/or radio archives, as many as 1.2 million people are exposed to the truth that the MSM will not tell you about over a typical 30 day period. When Donald Trump speaks, 12o million Americans, will somehow be exposed to his message through direct exposure or second hand information passing. My platform is no match for the reach of Donald Trump’s message. Every time Trump speaks, he undoes the power of group think and confirmation bias by the sheer number of people that he reaches with even a single statement. With the veil of lies being lifted, the people are free to see the lies of the elite. Trump has spent $25 million and he has set the psychological mind control mind control agenda of the elite on its ear. The elite have only begun to fight to hang on their ill-gotten turf. They will stop at nothing to preserve their immoral status quo. They will start wars, launch false flag attacks, increase the sqmetalsviolence at Donald Trump events and even kill Trump. These are issues for another article. Right now, hold your head up high America, stick your chest out, because for this moment, the good guys are finally winning. And even if the election is stolen or they kill Trump, his ideas cannot be killed. Trump has already won and we have already won. For today, the mission of The Common Sense Show mission is being realized as expressed in our logo: Our minds are now free and we must collectively move in for the proverbial kill. Let this movement dominate your thoughts and your actions over the next four months. Our newly found 10% awake citizens, and growing will surely grow and consume the country like a relentless tsunami. Pray for the safety of Donald Trump. Pray that God finds a way to forgive how our nation has forsaken Him. He will make our lands fertile again and he will bless us, but first we need to do our part. This morning, I feel the elation that the great Dr. Martin Luther King must have felt when he uttered the words: “Free at last, free at last, thank God we are free at last”….

Muslim Immigrants Want Swiss to Change the Flag Because it is a Christian Symbol

90169 Blog/America's Economic History Posted Mar 13, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

Muslim immigrants will petition for a referendum in Switzerland to change the national flag. They argue it is a Christian symbol and the flag should represent the separation between church and state. Well, what about the Swiss Guard who protects the pope? Less than 40% of Swiss are Catholic. This too would then offend the majority somehow. OOPS! Well, the U.S. flag has 13 stripes. Doesn’t this offend the states that joined the original 13 colonies since they are being slighted? Seems we are abandoning the past because of the present. Then there is the income tax. The Bible says you should give only a tenth. “Tithe” means a tenth or 10%. Isn’t taxing everyone far more than 10% a violation of the First Amendment right of the Freedom of Religion? You cannot practice your religion if the government violates it by creating law. What haven’t the lawyers mounted a class action lawsuit under this position?

BREAKING: EU to allow Turkish citizens to enter EU WITHOUT visa by June 2016!! and EU has to admit MORE refugees!

Submitted by IWB, on March 13th, 2016

What does the deal involve? It sounds simple enough: one Syrian refugee on the Greek islands will be returned to Turkey and, in exchange, a Syrian asylum seeker in Turkey will be found a home in Europe. The one in, one out scheme provisionally agreed by the EU and Turkey was hailed as a breakthrough by European leaders. But as well as the knotty legal and moral issues, a host of practical questions remain unresolved. How many people would be exchanged? When would it start? These are just some of the questions EU officials hope to iron out ahead of an EU summit on 17-18 March. The scheme would only apply to Syrians. Afghans, Pakistanis and other nationalities not deemed entitled to European protection could be sent back to Turkey under another aspect of the deal. But other groups, such as Iraqis, may have a better chance of being granted asylum in Europe.

============================

….Turkey is due to receive $3.3bn until the end of 2018 to cover the costs of dealing with refugees, but it reportedly asked for double the amount during Monday’s talks. Grand bargain The agreement could see Turkey and the EU cooperate to end the flow of irregular refugees to Greek islands and start resettling Syrian refugees directly from Turkey to the EU. In exchange for readmitting refugees from Greece to Turkey, Brussels is expected to grant Turkish citizens the right to travel to the EU’s Schengen zone without a visa by end of June 2016. The Turkish government is also trying to secure the country’s EU membership. “Turkey is ready to work with the EU, and Turkey is ready to be a member of the EU as well,” Davutoglu said before the summit. Turkey is a temporary home to an estimated 2.75 million refugees, many from the conflict in Syria. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/03/refugee-crisis-eu-turkey-agree-proposal-1603080 21149403.html

A readmission agreement signed between Turkey and the European Union set to take effect in June does not include Syrian and Iraqi illegal migrants, Turkey’s EU Minister said Thursday. When the deal is implemented, the EU will have the ability to return illegal migrants — who traveled through Turkey — to Turkey in order to be processed before they are sent back to their country of origin. Citizens of Iraq and Syria, which make up the majority of illegal migration, are not part of the deal. Speaking in a panel at German Marshall Fund policy think tank, Volkan Bozkir said the readmission agreement and the removal of visa requirements for Turkish citizens visiting the EU were signed at the same time. The visa removal is expected to take place at year’s end. “EU has to remove the visa in October, November. If the readmission agreement goes into effect and the visa removal doesn’t happen in that period of time, we have the right to annul the agreement according to the readmission agreement. This is a relation which goes hand in hand,” Bozkir said. It was not correct to assume that 1 million illegal migrants would be returned to Turkey the day the agreement went into effect because the process was not that easy, he said.

…EU leaders discussed a wide range of proposals by Turkey to solve the refugee crisis Monday, including the return of all irregular migrants, accelerating a visa-liberalization process for Turkish citizens and sharing the work of hosting Syrian refugees. Bozkir maintained that it would be right to speak of thousands or “maybe tens of thousands of refugees” to be returned to Turkey, not hundreds of thousands or millions, if the readmission plan with EU is enacted.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein warned the EU on Thursday against collective and arbitrary expulsions of migrants. Speaking to the UN Human Rights Council about his annual report on human rights, he said, “The EU’s draft arrangement with Turkey earlier this week raises a number of very serious concerns. We do not yet have full details of this draft.” “I plan to discuss my concerns in full during my visit to Brussels early next week, before the two-day EU Summit which begins on 17 March. Among my concerns is the potential for collective and arbitrary expulsions, which are illegal,” he added.

Slovenia and neighboring Croatia have banned the transit of most refugees through their countries to seal off the Balkan route used by conflict-hit people to reach northern Europe. Slovenia’s Interior Ministry said late Tuesday that only “foreigners meeting the requirements to enter the country” would be allowed access from midnight. Refugees will be selected “on a case by case basis on humanitarian grounds and in accordance with the rules of the Schengen zone,” the statement added. Croatia also adopted similar restrictions and refused transit to most refugees as of early Wednesday. “Apparently Europe has decided to start a new phase in resolving the migrant crisis. It was concluded that on the Schengen zone borders the Schengen rules would be applied,” said Croatian Interior Minister Vlaho Orepic, whose country is not part of visa-free Schengen zone. Croatia also said it would only grant access to refugees with proper visas. Serbia also said it would follow suit and impose similar restrictions at its borders with Bulgaria and Macedonia.

With the door still firmly shut to thousands of migrants and refugees on the Macedonian border, the UN and aid agencies are warning of a looming humanitarian catastrophe in Europe. “As we speak, there are an estimated 42,000 migrants on Greek soil,” said Euronews’ Athens correspondent Stamatis Giannisis. “Some 12,000 of them are at the Idomeni camp on the Greek-Macedonian border while 10,000 are still in the eastern Aegean islands.” As Europe scrambles to shut down the so-called Balkan migration route, migrants and refugees have continued to arrive unabated on Greek shores, in hopes of reaching the border in time to continue on to wealthier northern European countries. After Macedonian authorities severely restricted its borders with Greece, allowing in only a few hundred per day and blocking most nationalities or those without passports, a massive buildup began in the makeshift Idomeni camp. Tens of thousands of migrants – from newborns to the elderly – sleep in cold, muddy tents, with limited access to food or healthcare.

The dark side of the EU-Turkey refugee deal If the refugees are a cause of crisis, how does the EU imagine that offloading them to Turkey is any less of a crisis?

http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2016/03/dark-side-eu-turkey-refugee-deal-160309080433064.html 

U.N., rights groups say EU-Turkey migrant deal may be illegal The United Nations and human rights groups warned on Tuesday that a tentative European Union deal to send back all irregular migrants to Turkey in exchange for political and financial rewards could be illegal.

aspects of the deal—including how far they would go to meet all of Turkey’s tougher demands—until late next week. Under the provisional agreement, though, the EU agreed to speed up its work on Turkey’s EU membership application and Ankara’s bid for visa free access for its citizens to the bloc.

The EU is also set to increase the €3 billion ($3.3 billion) it had already committed to help Turkey cope with millions of refugees. In return, Turkey plans to take back migrants who arrive in Greece from Turkish shores, including Syrian refugees. For the latter, the deal would operate under a one-for-one principle, whereby EU countries would take Syrian refugees from camps in Turkey for every Syrian refugee Turkey takes back from Greece. The idea is to ensure there is only a legal, organized channel for Syrian migration to the bloc.

http://www.wsj.com/articles/eu-leaders-set-to-put-pressure-on-turkey-to-stem-flow-of-migrants-1457345227  MINISTERS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION have developed a proposal with Turkey that promises to end the chaotic and sometimes deadly flow of migrants that has been pouring across the Aegean Sea and into Greece for the past year. Under terms that were sketched out this week in Brussels, Turkey offered to take back migrants who are intercepted crossing the waters to the Greek islands and those whose asylum claims have been rejected. While this is a strong start, it fails to assure migrants that their claims will be swiftly processed. The migrant crisis has become an existential threat to a unified Europe. Many countries, feeling overwhelmed and fearful of the rush of migrants, have closed their borders, risking the entire open-border concept that enables 28 countries to function as a single market. Increased apprehensions of migrants at sea by NATO ships will help the EU regain control of its external border and warn migrants not to waste their money on smugglers offering a dangerous water passage, saving them from a perilous journey.

What does the deal involve? It sounds simple enough: one Syrian refugee on the Greek islands will be returned to Turkey and, in exchange, a Syrian asylum seeker in Turkey will be found a home in Europe.

Afghans, Pakistanis and other nationalities not deemed entitled to European protection could be sent back to Turkey under another aspect of the deal. But other groups, such as Iraqis, may have a better chance of being granted asylum in Europe. How soon could it be implemented? The deal has yet to be fleshed out, but full-scale implementation could take months – or may never happen. An existing Greek-Turkish readmission scheme was agreed as long ago as 2002, but has yet to be fully enacted due to disagreements between the two countries. Legal challenges from individual refugees and international watchdogs will present similar obstacles to the deal with the EU. Meanwhile Greece’s asylum institutions are only staffed at roughly a third of full capacity, according to local officials, which means the processing and return of such a large number of refugees would take time. EU states would need to help Greece – but so far their facilitation of existing schemes, such as the failed EU relocation scheme, has been minimal, which does not bode well for future collaboration.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/mar/08/eu-turkey-refugee-deal-qa 

Hollande has confirmed that the EU is mulling the possibility of allocating an additional €3 billion for Turkey if the migrant crisis intensifies: “If the question of refugees continues and Turkey must make additional efforts for their re-admission … then, it’s true, a new grant could be foreseen at the end of 2018.” The French leader also said the deal could save the open-border Schengen zone, which has been restricted by some of the worst-hit European states in reaction to the migrant crisis. However, when commenting on Turkey’s request for visa-free travel for its citizens in the Schengen zone, Hollande stressed that Ankara should first comply with all of the necessary criteria. “Visa liberalization could take place in June if the criteria are respected, there are 72 [of them],” he said. Meanwhile, reports claim that Turkey had initially demanded a great deal more than €3 billion. According to Reuters, Turkish PM Ahmet Davutoglu reportedly asked for no less than €20 billion during his preliminary meeting with Merkel and her Dutch counterpart Mark Rutte on Sunday, bringing negotiations to a screeching halt.

In other words, Erdogan knew from the Western silence and empty platitudes that there would be no repercussions for his repressive gambit. And why was that? Because, as Erdogan is all too aware, the EU is on its knees to gain his cooperation on ending the refugee crisis assailing its very foundations. That, in turn, meant that he could send his prime minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, to Brussels to extract whopping concessions. Significantly, at the last minute before the Brussels summit opened on Monday, Turkey’s premier Davutoglu pulled out “some new ideas.” One of those “new ideas” was that Ankara was no longer requesting $3.3 billion in EU aid, as it had done four months previously. Ankara was now demanding double the money. Davutoglu hinted at the upper-hand when he arrived in Brussels, saying: “The whole future of Europe is on the table.” And he also let it be known that Turkey was talking more than just refugees, adding that Ankara expected “a new era in Turkey-EU relations.”

The rift over how to handle Europe’s immigration crisis ripped wide open Friday. As nations along the Balkans migrant route took more unilateral actions to shut down their borders, diplomats from EU nations bordering the Mediterranean rallied around Greece, the epicenter of the crisis. Cypriot Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides — speaking on behalf of colleagues from France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Malta and Greece — said decisions on how to deal with the migrant influx that have already been made by the 28-nation bloc cannot be implemented selectively by some countries. “This issue is testing our unity and ability to handle it,” Kasoulides told a news conference after an EU Mediterranean Group meeting. “The EU Med Group are the front-line states and we all share the view that unilateral actions cannot be a solution to this crisis.”

http://news.yahoo.com/amid-crisis-greece-orders-islands-slow-migrant-traffic-102217799.html 

the German and Greek leaders blasted Balkan countries for shutting their borders to migrants ahead of an EU ministers meeting Thursday, with Greek Premier Alexis Tsipras warning that the EU “has no future if it goes on like that”. Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel said the closures are “neither sustainable nor lasting” in tackling Europe’s biggest migrant crisis since World War II and would leave Greece bearing the burden of the influx. Underlining the deep divisions cleaving the bloc, Merkel and Tsipras’ reactions flew in the face of the response of EU President Donald Tusk, who welcomed the route closure as being part of a collective response of the 28-member EU. The strong words came after Slovenia and Croatia barred entry to transiting migrants from Wednesday and Serbia indicated it would follow suit.

Migrants hoping to trek from Greece towards northern Europe found their path blocked after a string of western Balkan nations slammed shut their borders, exacerbating a dire humanitarian situation on the Macedonian frontier. Slovenia and Croatia, two of the countries along the route used by hundreds of thousands of people in recent months, barred entry to transiting migrants from midnight. Serbia indicated it would follow suit.

he European Union’s controversial refugee deal with Turkey risks being torpedoed by Cyprus, which says it cannot accept the restart of Turkey’s bid for EU membership. Under the planned deal, which leaders hope to confirm at another summit next week, Turkey would take back Syrian refugees who land in Greece in exchange for €6bn in aid, easier visa access to Europe for Turks and a speeding up of stalled EU accession talks. But now Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades has said he will not lift his country’s veto on opening five new “chapters” in Turkey’s EU membership negotiations. “I will never accept being forced, and I will never give my consent, because otherwise I have no other choice but to not return back home,” he told the Financial Times. The veto has been in place since 2009, over Turkey’s refusal to recognise the Greek Cypriot government in Nicosia or allow Cypriot ships to dock in its ports. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/eu-refugee-deal-hits-setback-as-cyprus-objects-to-turkey-bid-a6926711.html 

Bulgaria on Friday joined a growing list of European countries flagging problems with the EU’s proposed deal to return new migrants and refugees to Turkey, saying it should involve more than just asylum-seekers on the Greek islands. In a letter to European Council President Donald Tusk, Bulgaria’s Prime Minister Boyko Borissov wrote that the agreement should also focus on the migration route on Turkey’s border with Bulgaria, as well as maritime borders between Turkey in the EU, including in the Black Sea. “Bulgaria would not be ready to accept a partial Turkish engagement (only for the Greek islands) which will most probably lead to opening up of new migration routes,” Borissov said in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by POLITICO. Sofia also raised a concern about the proposal to speed up the visa liberalization process for Turkish citizens traveling to the EU. Borissov wrote that the process “cannot be calendar driven and should remain directly bound to the implementation of the EU-Turkey readmission agreement.”

http://www.politico.eu/article/bulgaria-raises-new-problems-with-eu-turkey-deal/ 

“Tomorrow,” he added, “Europe might no longer be European and even black, as there are millions who want to come in.” Colonel Qaddafi got his money. Now it is the European Union, prodded by a beleaguered Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and overwhelmed by 1.3 million asylum seekers last year, that is desperate to deter as many migrants as possible. Their instrument of necessity is Mr. Erdogan, who, like Colonel Qaddafi before him, has a price, and knows how to bargain. As Marta Dassu, the former Italian deputy foreign minister and senior director for Europe for the Aspen Institute, put it: “Erdogan keeps locking and unlocking the door as it pleases him.” Already, the European Union has promised Mr. Erdogan €3 billion. This week, in a sweeping deal still to be confirmed by European leaders, the bloc promised him at least twice as much, along with the prospect of visa-free travel for Turks and an acceleration of Turkey’s application to join the union — a process begun nearly 30 years ago, in 1987.

Former Breitbart Reporter Busted As Video Emerges Of Alleged 'Violation' By Trump Campaign Manager

March 14, 2016 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

It is not often when you get a he-said, she-said situation that explodes into national news with multiple opposing media outlets jumping on the story, to see actual footage that rebuts the majority of the original claim as well as the subsequent appearances on television news such as ABC News and Fox News as well as articles in the Washington Post, but here we have it. In an article four days ago, Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields (now former reporter) took to the pages of Breitbart News to tell her story of how she was violated by Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, in a piece titled "In Her Own Words." I wasn’t called upon to ask a question during the televised press conference, but afterwards Trump wandered around, stopping at every reporter to take their questions. When he approached me, I asked him about his view on an aspect of affirmative action. Trump acknowledged the question, but before he could answer I was jolted backwards. Someone had grabbed me tightly by the arm and yanked me down. I almost fell to the ground, but was able to maintain my balance. Nonetheless, I was shaken. The Washington Post’s Ben Terris immediately remarked that it was Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, who aggressively tried to pull me to the ground. I quickly turned around and saw Lewandowski and Trump exiting the building together. No apology. No explanation for why he did this. The very first sentence in that article states "I never sought to be part of the story." In subsequent interviews on multiple outlets, including Fox News' Megyn Kelly, and ABC News, Ms. Fields claimed she was "violated," and this moment was "the worst experience she had gone through" aside from her father's death. Ben Terris from the Washington Post witnessed the "event" describing it to Ms. Fields as "He just threw you down" Here is the moment in question captured on camera: (Article continues after the clip) This morning BuzzFeed reported that both Michelle Fields and editor-at-large for Brietbart, Ben Shapiro, have both resigned over this incident. Ms. Fields states "I do not believe Breitbart News has adequately stood by me during the events of the past week and because of that I believe it is now best for us to part ways." Shapiro's statement includes the following: Andrew built his life and his career on one mission: fight the bullies. But Andrew’s life mission has been betrayed. Indeed, Breitbart News, under the chairmanship of Steve Bannon, has put a stake through the heart of Andrew’s legacy. In my opinion, Steve Bannon is a bully, and has sold out Andrew’s mission in order to back another bully, Donald Trump; he has shaped the company into Trump’s personal Pravda, to the extent that he abandoned and undercut his own reporter, Breitbart News’ Michelle Fields, in order to protect Trump’s bully campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, who allegedly assaulted Michelle. I spoke with Michelle the night after the incident. She told me her story. That story was backed by audiotape, eyewitness testimony from The Washington Post’s Ben Terris, physical bruises, and video tape. You can hear Ms. Fields tell the story to Megyn Kelly and on ABC News in the video below (Videographer misspelled the word "claimed" in the beginning text, but it is the clips of Fields' subsequent interviews that are of interest.) The person did touch Ms. Fields, but to call it an "assualt" or "violation," and to claim she "almost fell to the ground" after seeing the footage appears to be quite a leap. Does this incident justify Fields filing criminal assault charges against Donald Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski? Feel free to weigh in below in the comment section.

You Better Believe 'Islam Hates Us'

By Raymond Ibrahim March 14, 2016

Donald Trump’s latest politically incorrect comment concerning Islam is much truer than most know.

After being asked last week on CNN if he believed the West was at war with Islam, the Republican presidential candidate simply said: I think Islam hates us. There’s something there that -- there’s a tremendous hatred there. There’s a tremendous hatred. We have to get to the bottom of it. There’s an unbelievable hatred of us. While millions of Americans undoubtedly agree with Trump’s assertions -- at least those who have eyes and ears to see and hear with -- few realize that this “tremendous hatred” is not a product of grievances, political factors, or even an “extremist” interpretation of Islam; rather, it is a direct byproduct of mainstream Islamic teaching. According to the ancient Islamic doctrine of wal’a wa bara’, or “loyalty and enmity” -- which is well grounded in Islamic scriptures, well sponsored by Islamic authorities, and well manifested all throughout Islamic history and contemporary affairs -- Muslims must hate and oppose everyone who is not Muslim, including family members. Koran 60:4 is the cornerstone verse of this doctrine and speaks for itself: “You [Muslims] have a good example in Abraham and those who followed him, for they said to their people, ‘We disown you and the idols which you worship besides Allah. We renounce you: enmity and hate shall reign between us until you believe in Allah alone’” (Koran 60:4, emphasis added). Koran 58:22 praises Muslims who fight and kill their own non-Muslim family members: “You shall find none who believe in Allah and the Last Day on friendly terms with those who oppose Allah and His Messenger -- even if they be their fathers, their sons, their brothers, or their nearest kindred. According to Ibn Kathir’s mainstream commentary on the Koran, this verse refers to a number of Muslims who slaughtered their own non-Muslim kin (one slew his non-Muslim father, another his non-Muslim brother; a third -- Abu Bakr, the first revered caliph of Islamic history -- tried to slay his non-Muslim son.) As Ibn Kathir explains, the continuation of verse 58:22 demonstrates that Allah was immensely pleased by their unwavering zeal for his cause. (Koran 58:22 in full reads: “You shall find none who believe in Allah and the Last Day on friendly terms with those who oppose Allah and His Messenger—even if they be their fathers, their sons, their brothers, or their nearest kindred. Allah has inscribed the faith in their very hearts, and strengthened them with a spirit from Himself. He will admit them to gardens watered by running streams, where they shall dwell forever. Allah is well pleased with them and they are well pleased with Him. They are the party of Allah, and surely it is the party of Allah that shall triumph!” According to Ibn Kathir’s commentary: “It was said that the phrase from the Most High -- ‘even if they be their fathers’—that it was revealed about Abu Ubayda when he slew his father at [the battle of] Badr; ‘their sons’ was about Abu Bakr [Muhammad’s successor and first caliph] when he intended to slay his son, Abd al-Rahman; ‘their brothers’ was about Mus’ab bin Umayr, who slew his brother, Ubayd bin Umayr; ‘or their kin’ was about Omar, who slew one of his relatives. Also Hamza, Ali, and Ubayda bin al-Harith: They slew Utba, Sheeba, and al-Walid bin Uitba [their kin] at that battle. Allah knows [best]. Moreover, when the Messenger of Allah consulted with the Muslims regarding the captives of Badr, Abu Bakr advised that they should pay ransom, thereby enabling the Muslims to grow stronger. Also, since they [captives] were cousins and relatives, perhaps Allah Most High would have eventually guided them. But Omar said: ‘This goes against my thinking, O Messenger of Allah. Let me slay so-and so (a relative of Omar), and let Ali [slay] Aquil [Ali’s brother], and so-and-so [slay] so-and-so—so that Allah may know that there is no love in our hearts for the idolaters. ..’ This is the whole story.” Excerpted from Ayman al-Zawahiri’s “Loyalty and Enmity,” The Al Qaeda Reader, pgs., 63-115.) In fact, verses that support the divisive doctrine of “loyalty and enmity” permeate the Koran (see also 4:89, 4:144, 5:51, 5:54, 6:40, 9:23, and 60:1). There is one caveat, captured by Koran 3:28: when Muslims are in a position of weakness, they may pretend to befriend non-Muslims, as long as the hate carries on in their hearts. (Read here for several recent examples of Muslims living for years at peace and in friendship with non-Muslims, but then violently turning on them once they became stronger. [For more on Islamic sanctioned forms of deception, read about tawriya, and taysir.]) Because enmity for non-Muslims is so ironclad in the Koran, mainstream Islamic teaching holds that Muslim men must hate -- and show that they hate -- even their non-Muslim wives, for no other reason than that they are “infidels.” If Muslims must hate those closest to them -- including fathers, sons, brothers, and wives -- simply because they are non-Muslims, is there any surprise that so many Muslims hate foreign “infidels” who live oceans away -- such as Americans, who are further portrayed throughout the Islamic world as trying to undermine Islam? Thus, even our best Muslim friends and allies -- such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar -- are on record calling on all Muslims to hate us. According to a Saudi government-run website, Muslims must “oppose and hate whomever Allah commands us to oppose and hate, including the Jews, the Christians, and other mushrikin [non-Muslims], until they believe in Allah alone and abide by his laws, which he sent down to his Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings upon him.” In short, Trump’s assertion that “Islam hates us” is demonstrable by the plain words and teachings of the Koran, by the plain words and teachings of modern Islamic clerics, and by the past and ongoing actions of Muslims around the world. But, as usual, instead of discussing these disturbing facts, the powers that be are more determined to portray Trump as the one who hates.

Savior of VA's suicide hotline dropped 1.4M calls from vets

By Pete Kasperowicz (@PeteKDCNews) • 3/9/16 5:56 PM

A division of the Department of Veterans Affairs tasked with fixing up the VA's broken veteran suicide hotline has dropped roughly 1.4 million phone calls from veterans since fiscal year 2015, a VA whistleblower told the Washington Examiner. That high number of abandoned calls is raising questions about whether the VA is doing all it can to fix up the suicide hotline, which has been criticized as the latest part of the VA that is failing veterans. Scott Davis, a whistleblower and program specialist at the VA's Health Eligibility Center in Atlanta, noted that the VA's Health Resource Center is slated to take over the VA's suicide hotline. But according to data provided by Davis, the Health Resource Center is dropping hundreds of thousands of calls from veterans each year. According to internal data provided by Davis, the center was on pace to abandon about 900,000 veterans' calls in 2015. His data spanned the last 11 months of fiscal year 2015, and showed that 824,000 calls were unanswered or dropped.

Overdue earthquake in California set to be FAR worse than expected, study warns as research suggests TWO faultlines are set to erupt at the same time

Southern California is long overdue a quake along San Andreas fault

It last erupted in 1812, devastating the region, could hit again imminently

But new evidence suggests the San Jacinto fault will erupt simultaneously

If true, it would mean authorities have dramatically underestimated how many people will be affected by the natural disaster

By Mia De Graaf For Dailymail.com Published: 16:04 EST, 13 March 2016 | Updated: 07:31 EST, 14 March 2016

The long-overdue earthquake set to hit southern California could be far worse than expected, a new study suggests. There is widespread consensus that millions will be killed or displaced when - not if - the San Andreas fault ruptures. Now, a geophysicist claims there is a strong chance this quake will coincide with one along the adjacent San Jacinto faultline, which runs through more heavily-populated cities. If true, it would mean authorities have dramatically underestimated how many people will be affected by the natural disaster. But there is no way to predict when such an event might occur. Evidence uncovered by Julian Lozos, an assistant geophysics professor at California State University, suggests the two faultlines erupted simultaneously in 1812, devastating the region between San Diego and San Buenvaventura. If that happened once, Lozos said, there is a strong chance it can happen again. 'Looking at old earthquakes in general is really a good way to figure out what faults are capable of doing,' Lozos wrote in his paper published on Saturday in the journal Science Advances. Previously, geologists thought a quake shook San Jacinto shortly before the devastating San Andreas quake on December 8, 1812. However, Lozos has concluded the rupture along the San Jacinto faultline was in fact the starting point. Lozos analyzed historical data on the 1812 San Andreas rupture, testing four different scenarios of where it could have started. He believes it started in Mystic Lake, ripping north up the San Jacinto faultline until it jumped up into the dry creek that runs parallel. San Andreas runs 810 miles from Bombay Beach near San Diego up to Cape Mendocino, which is 300 miles north west of Sacramento. San Jacinto runs 180 miles through San Bernardino, Riverside and San Diego. Though the findings cannot be proved definitively, it presents a new element for scientists to acknowledge as they attempt to advise the West Coast on how to brace for the quake. 'This precedent carries the implications that similar joint ruptures are possible in the future and that the San Jacinto fault plays a more significant role in seismic hazard in southern California than previously considered,' Lozos writes in the report. Indeed, University of California professor Lisa Grant Ludwig told CNN the region is not prepared for such a situation. 'In southern California, much of our infrastructure was built to withstand a rupture of either the San Andreas or San Jacinto faults, but not both at the same time,' she explained. Meanwhile, scientists are also working to plot the route of the tsunami expected to hit the West Coast when the Cascadia faultline - buried in the Pacific Ocean - finally ruptures. This quieter cousin of the San Andreas Fault in California is far more dangerous, and could make itself known at any moment. Running from Northern California to British Columbia, the Cascadia Subduction Zone can deliver a quake that's many times stronger than San Andreas. Seismologists say a full rupture of the more than 600-mile-long offshore fault and an ensuing tsunami is now only a matter of when. 'Cascadia can make an earthquake almost 30 times more energetic than the San Andreas to start with,' Chris Goldfinger, a professor of geophysics at Oregon State University told CNN. 'Then it generates a tsunami at the same time, which the side-by-side motion of the San Andreas can't do'. The Cascadia could deliver a huge 9.0-magnitude quake and the shaking could last anything from three to five minutes, scientists claim. 'In this case, three minutes - and I've been in a 9 in Japan - three minutes is an eternity,' said Goldfinger. 'It is a very, very long time.' Goldfinger says we'll lose bridges, highway routes and that the coast will probably be entirely closed down. As a result it would be difficult to get around, and rescue crews will be overwhelmed. Federal, state and military officials have been working together to draft plans to be followed when the 'Big One' happens. These contingency plans reflect deep anxiety about the potential gravity of the looming disaster: upward of 14,000 people dead in the worst-case scenarios, 30,000 injured, thousands left homeless and the region's economy setback for years, if not decades. As a response, what planners envision is a deployment of civilian and military personnel and equipment that would eclipse the response to any natural disaster that has occurred thus far in the US. There would be waves of cargo planes, helicopters and ships, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers, emergency officials, mortuary teams, police officers, firefighters, engineers, medical personnel and other specialists. 'The response will be orders of magnitude larger than Hurricane Katrina or Super Storm Sandy,' said Lt. Col. Clayton Braun of the Washington State Army National Guard. Oregon's response plan is called the Cascadia Playbook, named after the threatening offshore fault — the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The plan, unveiled last year, has been handed out to key officials so the state can respond quickly when disaster strikes.

Louisiana flooding: Nearly 5,000 homes damaged

By Catherine E. Shoichet, CNN Updated 10:17 PM ET, Sun March 13, 2016

(CNN)First, heavy rains pelted northern Louisiana. Then storms headed south, drenching coastal areas. The result: widespread floods that damaged thousands of homes and sent officials scrambling to survey the damage left behind. On Sunday, U.S. President Barack Obama declared that a "major disaster" had hit Louisiana. The state emergency management office described the flooding, which began last week, as a "historic flood event." As Gov. John Bel Edwards met Sunday with officials and residents in Merryville, Louisiana, where river levels were at a record high, the town's mayor warned that more rain is forecast for later in the week. "We're not out of a crisis situation right now. .... I'm hoping that it doesn't get a lot worse, but I'm not making any promises," Mayor David Eaves said, according to CNN affiliate KPLC. The state's emergency management office echoed that message. "We urge everyone to continue to use caution in areas where floodwaters remain. This crisis is not over," officials said in a statement Sunday. "The National Weather Service indicates thunderstorms and a potential of severe weather are forecast this evening in Northwest Louisiana, which could cause even more problems. Other problems with rivers and bayous are causing new problems to develop." Across Louisiana, parishes reported that nearly 5,000 homes had been damaged by flooding so far, the emergency office said. And they're not done with taking stock yet. In Merryville, in southwestern Louisiana near the state's border with Texas, the mayor compared the damage to what the town faced after Hurricane Rita in 2005. So far, the recent rains aren't quite as bad, he said, but it comes close. "We're looking at a month long operation of getting damage assessment done. ... We've got 200 homes and 200 trailers that are underwater," he said. In Bossier Parish, the sheriff's office posted video on its Facebook page that showed a slow-moving truck rumbling through waist-high water on a highway where drivers normally travel at 55 mph. The President's disaster declaration Sunday makes federal funding available to people in seven parishes affected by severe storms and flooding, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said. Mississippi, Texas and Arkansas also saw flooding as the slow-moving storm system plodded across the South last week. At least four people have been killed in the storms, state officials said. CNN's Tony Marco contributed to this report.

Another Clinton Associate Found Dead, Bill and Hillary’s Body Count Increases!

Submitted by IWB, on March 13th, 2016

For some people, when the FBI has an alleged 150 agents working on a case against you, and everyone in your own inner-circle that hasn’t already been granted immunity has lawyered-up, some people might start to break a sweat… but not if you’re last name is Clinton. If your last name is Clinton, you just kill them before they can say anything. Just ask ex Clinton associate and former Clinton “hitman” Larry Nichols who claims to have murdered many people on the Clinton’s behalf, for money of course. Although Mr. Nichols is retired from working for the Clinton’s, based on the new article below, it doesn’t look like the Clinton’s have retired from the killing business just yet. In the following video, which is taken from the Rick Santilli show from Sept. 24, 2013, ex Clinton associate Larry Nichols goes into detail about how he murdered people to protect the Clinton’s (at their order). To see the full list of alleged Clinton murders click HERE. USA Today Politics reports: Fascinating information is going viral about Hillary and Bill Clinton, which exposes just how truly ruthless they are. In many ways they are worse than Obama. One major reason I say this is because the Clintons have a long history of people in their inner-circle dying under mysterious circumstances. In fact, 46 people who were close to the Clintons have died during their 3 decades of political power. That number should give us all pause. If Hillary Clinton was a Republican, that number would be the question asked by reporters every day. Now, the latest to be added to the list, maintained by WhatReallyHappened.com, is Walter Scheib. He was hired by the Clinton White House to work as a Chef, and continued to serve the Bush administration. Interestingly, he was reported missing during a hike, and his body was found almost 2 miles away at the bottom of a river. No cause of death has ever been made, but the death date is listed as June 13, 2015. But the list is far more extensive! For example, Mary Mahoney was a Clinton White House Intern who was executed brutally at a Starbucks she was managing in 1997. As a lesbian, she became close friends with all of the interns of the early Clinton administration, and they would seek her advice after Bill’s sexual advancements. She would have been a star witness during the Clinton impeachment trials. And don’t forget Clinton White House Council Vince Foster, who was found dead in Ft. Marcy Park in Washington, D.C. He supposedly killed himself with a shotgun, and was found a few days later with a suitcase that contained a shredded suicide note. Foster knew the Clintons from his time at Rose Law Firm in Arkansas, and had intimate details of the Clinton’s financial situation. Apparently, he made a phone call to Hillary Clinton just hours before his death. The person who found him never saw a gun. Also, you may not have heard of the Clinton’s former lawyer Charles Ruff who died in 2000: Charles Ruff was one of Clinton’s attorneys during the impeachment trial and was known to have inside information on the White House email scandal as well. Original reports were that he died in an accident in his home although no details were given. Then the report changed to claim that he was found in his bedroom unconscious, then declared dead on arrival at the hospital. The authorities will provide no details other than the usual (and quite premature) assurances that there was no foul play involved. And don’t forget James McDougal! Jim McDougal was serving his 3-year sentence for bank fraud at the Fort Worth Federal Medical Center in Texas, a facility operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons for inmates who need medical attention. Just prior to another round of testimony before Kenneth Starr’s grand jury, and while the reporters who were covering that story were two hours away covering a standoff situation in Waco that just “went away,” Jim McDougal suffered a heart attack while in solitary confinement. Left alone for too long, when Jim McDougal was taken out of solitary, instead of attempting to defibrillate his heart with equipment on hand at the facility, he was driven to John Peter Smith Hospital. Not the closest hospital to the Fort Worth Federal Medical Center, John Peter Smith Hospital is a welfare hospital, where (in the words of one local) ,”They let interns practice on deadbeats.” NEW! The Fort Worth Star-Telegram acquired the official report of the McDougal death via a Freedom Of Information Act request, and reported that doctors ignored McDougal’s signs of imminent death. The Clinton body count is massive and growing. Hillary Clinton will stop at nothing to become President, and death seems to follow her everywhere she goes. It is time to learn the truth about these murders and expose the Clintons. Instead of the White House, it appears they both belong in prison.

Computer Programmer Testifies Under Oath He Rigged Election Computers (Video)

By Voice of Reason · Saturday, March 12th, 2016

VOTER REGISTRATION CHICAGO STYLE There was a time not that long ago when if you asked some people why they chose not to vote in Presidential elections, an answer you would frequently hear was, “My vote doesn’t count anyway, so why bother?” For the “most part,” if you heard that answer, you knew it was coming from an utterly clueless American with no clue how our system of government works. How could they not know you ask? For starters, you might ask the liberal Department of Indoctrination… excuse me… I mean Department of Education, why they decided in their infinite liberal wisdom to make teaching the Constitution of the United States “optional” these days in public schools. I’ll tell you why: Because if people don't know their rights, they won't know when their rights are being trampled, like what is going on with the "Establishment" trying to take out Trump. When people don't know their rights, it becomes much easier for them to be bamboozled. They know something seems wrong, but can't say what, so they remain quiet. With the level of corruption that has infested our electoral process, the time is fast approaching, when what people who say their votes do not really count anyway will be RIGHT, because so many layers of corruption have been embedded into the system. In what follows I’m going to review just a few of those layers, and I hope you pay very close attention, because where this all is heading… is death. Lots of death. If you had an opportunity to listen to Geopolitical mastermind Craig Hulet when he was interviewed on Illuminati control over U.S., then you heard him say that the global elites were willing to spend up to or even higher than $4 Billion to make sure Jeb Bush won the office. Even Newt Gingrich made it clear the other night on Fox News when he said the reason the “Establishment” hates Trump so much, is because Trump is Not An Illuminati Member; He hasn’t had his initiation rights yet.” NOBODY saw this coming! In the first video below, a computer programmer testifies under oath he coded computer election terminals to RIG elections. This particular case took place in Florida, where then Florida Republican Speaker of the House (as well as lobbyist for the voting machines in question), Tom Feeney asked the man testifying if he could write a computer program that would flip the the votes from whoever won the election, to the candidate he desired to win it. What is so terrifying about the testimony above, is the ease with which the gentleman testifying says a program that hijacks an election can be written. He testifies that with less than 100 lines of code, the programmer could reshape the election for the leader of the free world. Furthermore, he says there really is no "anti-virus" equivalent that can be run. The only way to determine if there has been tampering is by programmers from both sides to review every line of code to make sure there was nothing slipped in, OR, count the hard paper against the vote totals. I've yet to hear where that is done… so….

Massive FDA crackdown coming on natural product companies: New FDA head Robert Califf to unleash sweeping nationwide surprise inspections under 2011 FSMA law

Sunday, March 13, 2016 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

(NaturalNews) Following the confirmation of new FDA head Robert Califf, I have been told by people in the legal field with close ties to FDA staffers that the FDA is planning to ramp up a wave of inspections and crackdowns targeting natural product companies. This sweeping crackdown assault, I've been told, will be invoked under the Food Safety and Modernization Act (FSMA), which was aggressively pushed into law following a series of highly suspicious outbreaks of E.coli and salmonella in food products in 2010. These outbreaks were widely publicized by the mainstream media which obeyed its propaganda marching orders from the government to whip up a frenzy of irrational fear over all fresh food. From that fear, the political establishment passed the FSMA and Obama signed it into law on January 4, 2011. FSMA to bankrupt small businesses by requiring pharma-level manufacturing practices The FSMA essentially requires all nutritional supplement, herbal formula and superfood companies to adhere to many of the same quality control procedures as multi billion-dollar pharmaceutical companies. The FDA's GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) guidelines describe these measures and have been the law of the land since the signing of the FSMA. Yet most small supplement and superfood companies are nowhere near GMP-compliant due to the extraordinary costs of compliance. (Our own operation is GMP compliant, which is why I am intimately familiar with the extreme costs of compliance and the mountain of paperwork that must be produced to achieve this compliance.) It is this non-compliance with GMP and FSMA that the FDA is now planning to use as a regulatory weapon in nationwide, sweeping shut down of natural product companies, I've been told. Click here to watch my full video commentary on this matter, posted on YouTube. Or watch the video here (story continues below) And yet some of these companies legitimately deserve to be shut down... As the author of the new book Food Forensics -- launching July 26th in bookstores everywhere -- I fully understand that some companies in the natural products space are irresponsibly cutting corners and totally failing to adhere to basic safety procedures in food manufacturing. So I can see a reasonable argument for taking action against the most egregious violators of food safety. But this new sweeping crack down by the FDA appears to be far more than that: It seems to be a politically motivated attempt to destroy Big Pharma's competition and further monopolize pharmaceutical profits that rake in hundreds of billions of dollars a year worldwide. It seems no coincidence that the FDA's new head, Robert Califf, has accepted money from 23 drug companies and has already stated he thinks the FDA should be a partner of the drug industry. What better way to accomplish this than to use the FDA as a regulatory weapon to destroy Big Pharma's competition? Surprise inspections: The FDA Gestapo, or a legitimate public safety effort? Over the next several years, if my insider information is correct, the FDA plans to accelerate its surprise inspections of natural product manufacturers, shutting down as many as it can in the process. At one extreme, this can be seen as a kind of "Gestapo" industry assault by an out of control federal regulator with a nefarious agenda of destroying the natural products industry. At the other end of this spectrum, if the FDA is very selected in its actions and only targets the very worst offenders, it could be reasonably justified as a way to improve public safety by eliminating borderline criminal product manufacturers who are likely to get somebody killed sooner or later (due to their deliberate lack of safety and testing). It wasn't long ago that the FTC and FDA cooperated with the DOJ on the criminal prosecution of an extreme case of dietary supplement criminality, charging operators of a particularly nefarious manufacturing ring with felony crimes. Natural News supported that legal action against these alleged criminals, as they were importing toxic chemicals and pharmaceuticals from China, calling them "natural plant extracts" and dishonestly selling them in pills that targeted body builders. Those pills, the government alleges, resulted in dozens of people suffering permanent liver damage... and possibly even a few deaths. As the author of the Food Forensics book and the lab science director of the Natural News Forensic Food Lab, I fully support criminal prosecutions against fraudulent dietary supplement companies that are deliberately and maliciously placing customers' lives at risk in order to earn quick profits from extremely dangerous substances marketed with fraudulent claims. Yet the concern in all this is whether the FDA will limit its targeting to such egregious cases of criminal fraud, or if they will use their unbounded regulatory power as a political weapon to oppress, intimidate and ultimately decimate honest dietary supplement companies whose products compete with pharmaceutical profit interests. With the increased interest in natural medicine products, millions of Americans are turning away from Big Pharma's toxic, overpriced drugs that don't work, instead discovering safer, more effective and far more affordable natural medicine remedies that in many cases make high-priced pharmaceuticals obsolete. RELATED: Dr. Michael T. Murray's Natural Medicine Summit begins tomorrow! Learn a wealth of knowledge about using natural medicine to prevent and even reverse serious disease. Here at Natural News, we'll keep watching the FDA's actions with a skeptical eye, and we'll report back to you what we're seeing and hearing from inside the industry. Facts about the FDA's crackdown on natural product companies Here are some things you need to know right now:

The Natural News Store has already been surprise inspected at least twice by the FDA working in conjunction with Texas public health authorities. The inspectors were very professional and found zero problems in our facility. Here in Texas, we have no complaints about the professionalism of the FDA inspectors we've met so far. Perhaps they were happy to see that we are GMP compliant and have our own science laboratory. (We also do not push "diet pills" or scammy supplements.)

As revealed in my book Food Forensics, I personally know of the existence of quite a few companies in the natural products space who are utterly failing (refusing?) to conduct even the most basic composition and safety tests of their own products. They don't test for heavy metals, pesticides, identity tests, microbiology or anything. This is a very serious matter and it really does put the public at risk of harm. I personally am aware of a great many small companies and small operations that willfully skip all product testing because they don't want to spend the money for such tests. Just like the recent scandal with The Honest Company, these operators have absolutely no idea what they're really selling.

• The demeanor of FDA inspectors varies widely by region. I've heard that inspectors in certain areas of Colorado are very much Gestapo-like in their actions. The ones we've encountered in Texas so far have been professional yet firm. However, it is my belief that state safety regulators should be the ones dealing with food safety on a local level, not federal regulators.

Ironically, Natural News is likely to financially BENEFIT from the shutting down of smaller, non-compliant natural product manufacturers. In fact, the upshot of all this is that only larger product manufacturers will be able to survive the regulatory pressure. From an economics perspective, this is ultimately bad for consumers because it means fewer choices in the marketplace and less competition for innovative products. Hurry and gain lifesaving knowledge about natural medicine while you still can Because natural products are under assault, I encourage you to get up to speed a quickly as possible on learning about natural medicine solutions. Dr. Michael T. Murray's Natural Medicine Summit begins tomorrow! It includes compelling interviews with over a dozen of the top doctors, naturopaths, scientists and activists on the subject of natural medicine. This includes Sayer Ji who runs GreenMedInfo.com, as well as an extremely powerful interview between myself and Dr. Murray where we discuss strategic defensive eating to prevent cancer with simple foods. Click here to register for the Natural Medicine Summit (it's free), and realize that if the FDA really gets aggressive with shutting down natural product companies, you are going to have fewer and fewer choices in acquiring natural medicine. ACTION recommendations for acquiring safe natural medicine and dietary supplements Recommendation #1) GROW your own medicinal herbs. This is the No. 1 way to acquire them. My Food Rising Mini-Farm Grow Box has just been released in version 2.0, now available at SupplySource.com. It grows medicinal herbs with no electricity, no weeding and no routine watering. It's the easiest way to grow your own medicine, period! Recommendation #2) BUY superfoods and natural medicine products only from companies that are GMP compliant and who routinely engage in scientific testing of their products for heavy metals, microbiology, pesticides and more. The Natural News Store is, to my knowledge, the only online retailer in the world that owns our own high-end analytical laboratory and routinely conducts such tests of our products. Recommendation #3) SUPPORT the natural product industry by purchasing honest products from honest operators. Despite the failures of a few of the bad apples in the industry, by and large the natural products industry is extremely honest and highly beneficial to public health. There are hundreds of quality companies offering honest, safe products that truly help prevent disease and enhance health.

Almost all American Grains Are Contaminated with Glyphosate Herbicide

Glyphosate, the most common active ingredient in herbicides world-wide, has been linked to various health problems, from gluten intolerance to autism, and most recently cancer. It is well-known that herbicides with glyphosate are sprayed on genetically modified crops that have been engineered to withstand the herbicide without killing the plant. Those wishing to avoid ingesting glyphosate were told to just avoid GMO foods. However, it is less well-known that glyphosate is also applied to non-GMO crops, specifically grains such as wheat and oats. It allows the farmers to harvest these crops much quicker. As this article from Ken Roseboro at Ecowatch reports, it is now nearly impossible to eat products made from these grains without ingesting glyphosate. In addition, an investigation by Healthy Traditions in late 2014 showed that even USDA certified organic grains were also contaminated with glyphosate. Residue amounts of the herbicide are actually allowed by USDA organic standards.

Why Is Glyphosate Sprayed on Crops Right Before Harvest?

by Ken Roseboro Ecowatch  Excerpts: March 14, 2016

Ecowatch Excerpts: Glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide, is recognized as the world’s most widely used weed killer. What is not so well known is that farmers also use glyphosate on crops such as wheat, oats, edible beans and other crops right before harvest, raising concerns that the herbicide could get into food products. Glyphosate has come under increased scrutiny in the past year. Last year the World Health Organization’s cancer group, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, classified it as a probably carcinogen. The state of California has also moved to classify the herbicide as a probable carcinogen. A growing body of research is documenting health concerns of glyphosate as an endocrine disruptor and that it kills beneficial gut bacteria, damages the DNA in human embryonic, placental and umbilical cord cells and is linked to birth defects and reproductive problems in laboratory animals. A recently published paper describes the escalating use of glyphosate: 18.9 billion pounds have been used globally since its introduction in 1974, making it the most widely and heavily applied weed-killer in the history of chemical agriculture. Significantly, 74 percent of all glyphosate sprayed on crops since the mid-1970s was applied in just the last 10 years, as cultivation of GMO corn and soybeans expanded in the U.S. and globally. Charles Benbrook, Ph.D., who published the paper on the mounting use of glyphosate, says the practice of spraying glyphosate on wheat prior to harvest, known as desiccating, began in Scotland in the 1980s.Farmers there often had trouble getting wheat and barley to dry evenly so they can start harvesting. So they came up with the idea to kill the crop (with glyphosate) one to two weeks before harvest to accelerate the drying down of the grain,” he said. The pre-harvest use of glyphosate allows farmers to harvest crops as much as two weeks earlier than they normally would, an advantage in northern, colder regions. The practice spread to wheat-growing areas of North America such as the upper Midwestern U.S. and Canadian provinces such as Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Joel Ransom, an agronomist at North Dakota State University, … says desiccating wheat with glyphosate has been a useful tool for farmers. “It does help hasten dry down and controls grain weeds and other material that slows down the threshing practice,” he said. “It has an important role in areas where it’s wet.” Ransom says the practice has increased in North Dakota, which is the leading wheat-producing state in the U.S., over the past 15 years due to wetter weather. While more common in Upper Midwestern states where there is more moisture, desiccation is less likely to be done in drier wheat growing areas of Kansas, Oklahoma, Washington and Oregon. According to a wheat farmer in Saskatchewan, desiccating wheat with glyphosate is commonplace in his region. “I think every non-organic farmer in Saskatchewan uses glyphosate on most of their wheat acres every year,” the farmer speaking on condition of anonymity said. According to Tom Ehrhardt, co-owner of Minnesota-based Albert Lea Seeds, sourcing grains not desiccated with glyphosate prior to harvest is a challenge. “I have talked with millers of conventionally produced grain and they all agree it’s very difficult to source oats, wheat, flax and triticale, which have not been sprayed with glyphosate prior to harvest,” he said. “It’s a ‘don’t ask, don’t tell policy’ in the industry.” Ehrhardt also says that crops grown to produce seed are not usually sprayed with glyphosate prior to harvest because this can damage seed germination. Grain Millers, which has grain processing facilities in the U.S. and Canada, announced last year that it would not buy oats from Canada that had been desiccated with glyphosate. “We are told these (glyphosate residues) are too small to matter but can we believe that?” the Saskatchewan farmer asked. “I think everyone, even farmers that use and love glyphosate, would rather not eat a loaf of bread with glyphosate in it.” Wiebe shares similar concerns. “Consumers don’t realize when they buy wheat products like flour, cookies and bread they are getting glyphosate residues in those products,” he said. “It’s barbaric to put glyphosate in food a few days before you harvest it.” Wiebe believes the use of glyphosate on wheat may be connected to the rise in celiac disease. “We’ve seen an explosion of gluten intolerance,” he said. “What’s really going on?” “Can you imagine the public’s response if they knew that glyphosate is being sprayed on the oats in their Cheerios only weeks before it is manufactured?” Ehrhardt asked.

The Rapid Rise of Federal Surveillance Drones Over America

An alphabet soup’s worth of government agencies are exercising their ability to look down on ordinary citizens.

Conor Friedersdorf Mar 10, 2016

A little more than a decade ago the border patrol started using surveillance drones. The technology and the mission were a perfect match, and few did any worrying—almost no one objects to closely monitoring America’s southern border. The belief that the federal government was using drones to conduct domestic surveillance inside the United States, though, could get a person labeled a paranoid lunatic as recently as 2012. Yet by then, the border patrol had lent its drones to other agencies 700 times. And the Department of Homeland Security was actively developing a domestic drone fleet, egged on by at least 60 members of Congress. “This bipartisan caucus, together with its allies in the drone industry, has been promoting UAV use at home and abroad through drone fairs on Capitol Hill, new legislation and drone-favored budgets,” the Center for International Policy reported. In 2013, Senator Dianne Feinstein, a staunch defender of NSA surveillance, declared that drones are “the biggest threat to privacy in society today.” Under her questioning, the FBI admitted to using surveillance drones in “a very minimal way.” What did Feinstein know that the FBI wasn’t telling us? Perhaps that the federal government gave local police departments $1.2 million to spend on drones that year. In 2015, NBC News reported that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms spent $600,000 on six drones, “then never flew them because of technical problems with flight time, maneuverability and more.” Has ATF figured them out yet? AP reported that the DEA was using drones domestically, too. That brings us to 2016. On Wednesday, USA Today reported that the Pentagon “has deployed drones to spy over U.S. territory for non-military missions over the past decade,” citing a report by a Pentagon inspector general who declared that the flights are “rare and lawful.” That’s the narrative that officials speaking on behalf of the federal government keep conveying––that the instances of aerial surveillance over U.S. soil are safe, legal, and rare. But it isn’t so. There are too many federal, state, and local agencies with too many surveillance aircraft to pretend any longer that aerial spying is rare. There is too little oversight to presume all these government entities are acting legally. As for safety, Americans know neither what sort of aerial-surveillance data has been archived nor how secure it is. And security researcher Nils Rodday learned that he could successfully hack into professional drones and take over their operations on a $40 budget. The ACLU and Electronic Frontier Foundation are trying to draw attention to these issues; the Department of Justice has issued its own guidelines on domestic drone use. But there’s still not much public discussion, debate, or oversight of domestic drone surveillance. My sense of public opinion is that Americans don’t particularly want to be spied on from above. By keeping various aerial-surveillance programs hidden or very quiet, the government will continue to achieve a rapid fait accompli unless it is stopped.

Bomb-sniffing dog discovers 2 Hellfire missiles bound for Portland

BELGRADE, Serbia — Serbia's authorities are investigating reports that a cargo package bound for Portland contained two missiles with explosive warheads on a passenger flight from Lebanon. N1 television said the package with two guided armor-piercing missiles was discovered Saturday by a sniffer dog after an Air Serbia flight from Beirut landed at a Belgrade airport. Serbian media say documents listed the final destination for the AGM-114 Hellfire missiles as Portland. The American-made projectiles can be fired from air, sea or ground platforms against multiple targets. The Serbian state news agency Tanjug reported that the missiles had been packed in wooden coffins and unloaded at the Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport, where they were inspected by bomb-sniffing dogs. This type of missile was originally designed to be fired from a helicopter and was named Helicopter Launched, Fire and Forget Missile -- later shortened to Hellfire. The AGM-114 model is manufactured by Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Northrup Grumman. It weighs about 100 pounds and costs about $110,000 apiece. Most models use laser to home in on their targets, although one version of the AGM-114 relies on radar. The FBI in Portland said it is looking into the reports. "We don't have any information on that yet," Jennifer Adams, an FBI spokeswoman, said Sunday afternoon. N1 reported Sunday that Air Serbia is helping in the investigation. The Serbian flag carrier says "security and safety are the main priorities for Air Serbia." -- Staff and wire reports

The West falls into abyss of liberal Satanism

11.03.2016

The meeting between the head of the Russian Orthodox Church Patriarch Kirill and the head of the Roman Catholic Church received mixed reactions in the world. The meeting became a hope for some and a terrible omen signaling the collapse of religions for others. The truth, as usual, is somewhere in the middle. Pravda.Ru sat down for an interview to discuss the significance of the meeting with Orthodox publicist Victor Saulkin, a member of the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society. "The topical news will be discussed for a long time. The meeting has left no one indifferent, including in the Orthodox world. Some assumed that Patriarch Krill betrayed the Orthodox world. What was the significance of the meeting?" "I was worried about the meeting. This is definitely not the event of the millennium, as some people said. The meeting in Havana should come along with other events that have been taking place in the world. We see the West dragging Russia into the war, while the unipolar world is falling apart. The collapse of the unipolar world system started several years ago, some time in 2007, when Vladimir Putin stated that the system, in which the wolf eats the lamb just because he is strong, could not exist. "Now we can see that Russia is the main obstacle for the unipolar world. Zbigniew Brzezinski said after the break-up of the Soviet Union that there was the most important player left - Orthodoxy. Orthodoxy is a spiritual alternative to this global world order. When they say that our country had no ideology for 25 years, this is not true to fact. We could see the Western ideology being implanted in Russia - the Golden Calf ideology. Orthodoxy and even secularized Western Christianity do not tolerate this ideology. "During the times of the Soviet Union, many in the country thought that every person in the Christian West had a gospel on their bedside table. Afterwards, it became clear that it was the Soviet Union that was protecting the world from the Golden Calf ideology. When the Soviet empire collapsed, the West assumed that Russia was dead. The country was dismembered, the defense industry and the army was destroyed. That was the time when liberal Satanism triumphed in the West. "In Catholic Italy, a court decided to take crucifixes out from schools. This is beyond understanding. In France, millions of people took to the streets to protest against gay marriage, but no one listened to them. The West is moving towards liberal Satanism. When we talk about the Islamic extremism of ISIL, we need to understand who created ISIL and what for." "The purpose of the meeting was to counter these phenomena. The patriarch said that it was time to eliminate serious problems. A lot of blood has been shed between western and eastern Christians. The world has come to the point when one needs to stand up against attempts to de-christianize and de-humanize this world. One needs a dialogue to struggle against all this evil. Do you think it was the central leitmotif of the meeting?" "First off, we understand that the Patriarch went to the meeting as the head of the Church of Eastern Christians - all Eastern Christians. Non-believing secular journalists took this fact literally. They do not know how many local Orthodox churches we have. They do not know that we do not have one single head of all Orthodoxy. We confess the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church." "For them, it was the meeting between the eastern Pope and the western Pope." "Our Holy Patriarch does not come first in church remembrance - the Ecumenical Patriarch comes first, but this is an anachronism. So-called Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, who has only two or three churches in Istanbul, is known as a servant of the CIA. He was dubbed as the Patriarch of Istanbul. And then it suddenly turned out that Moscow is the center of Ecumenical Orthodoxy. "Incidentally, shortly after the victory in the Great Patriotic War, in 1948, a Pan-Orthodox Conference was held in Moscow, and the significance of that council was even bigger than the one that is currently taking lace on Crete. Moscow acts as the Third Rome now, and our holy patriarch reaches out a helping hand to the declining Western Christian civilization. For an Orthodox person, it is very important to maintain adherence to the truth and the purity of the church, where we go to heal our wounds. For an Orthodox person, it goes about the salvation of the soul. Therefore, the Russian people are ready to fight till the end to protect this purity. "In the West, it is believed that God judges people by their money, but this civilization is vanishing in front of our very eyes, and all Western Christians understand this. White America is dying. Western Christian civilization in Europe is in agony. Millions of refugees from Islamic countries will destroy the old world. They will change the composition of the population, build the caliphate and destroy the Western Christian civilization. "It started during the times of the French Revolution, when churches were being destroyed, when Christian France was the target. Old Catholics believe that Cardinal Lefebvre had every reason to say that the Catholic Church betrayed Christ at the Second Vatican Council, and we can see many examples to that now." "The Catholic Church changed the canons of the Christian Church in general, before it changed its own canons. Do we have anything in common at all?" "We all believe in Christ the Savior and the Gospel. Catholics have the continuous apostolic succession, and we all worship the Blessed Virgin. Catholics have their dogma of the Immaculate Conception and some other things. Yet, having broken away from grace, they split into many communities. It is impossible to count how many sects they have that they call churches. We see what it led to: they conclude same-sex unions, have gay priests and so on. The so-called World Council of Churches is the meeting of the ungodly, and the Orthodox understand this." "But we take part in it too." "We do, but we interrupt communication with those who violate the canons. We participate in order to bear witness of Christ." Interviewed by Andrei Samokhin Pravda.Ru

China Ocean Freight Indices Plunge to Record Lows

by Wolf Richter • March 14, 2016

There’s simply no respite. Money is leaving China in myriad ways, chasing after overseas assets in near-panic mode. So Anbang Insurance Group, after having already acquired the Waldorf Astoria in Manhattan a year ago for a record $1.95 billion from Hilton Worldwide Holdings, at the time majority-owned by Blackstone, and after having acquired office buildings in New York and Canada, has struck out again. It agreed to acquire Strategic Hotels & Resorts from Blackstone for a $6.5 billion. The trick? According to Bloomberg’s “people with knowledge of the matter,” Anbang paid $450 million more than Blackstone had paid for it three months ago! Other Chinese companies have pursued targets in the US, Canada, Europe, and elsewhere with similar disregard for price, after seven years of central-bank driven asset price inflation [read… Desperate “Dumb Money” from China Arrives in the US]. As exports of money from China is flourishing at a stunning pace, exports of goods are deteriorating at an equally stunning pace. February’s 25% plunge in exports was the 11th month of year-over-year declines in 12 months, as global demand for Chinese goods is waning. And ocean freight rates – the amount it costs to ship containers from China to ports around the world – have plunged to historic lows. The China Containerized Freight Index (CCFI), published weekly, tracks contractual and spot-market rates for shipping containers from major ports in China to 14 regions around the world. Unlike most Chinese government data, this index reflects the unvarnished reality of the shipping industry in a languishing global economy. For the latest reporting week, the index dropped 4.1% to 705.6, its lowest level ever. It has plunged 34.4% from the already low levels in February last year and nearly 30% since its inception in 1998 when it was set at 1,000. This is what the ongoing collapse in shipping rates looks like: The rates dropped for 12 of the 14 routes in the index. They rose in only one, to the Persian Gulf/Red Sea, perhaps in response to the lifting of the sanctions against Iran, and remained flat to Japan. Rates on all other routes dropped, including to Europe (-7.9%), the US West Coast (-3.5%), the US East Coast (-1.0%), or the worst drop, to the Mediterranean (-13.4%). The Shanghai Containerized Freight Index (SCFI), which is much more volatile than the CCFI, tracks only spot-market rates (not contractual rates) of shipping containers from Shanghai to 15 destinations around the world. It had surged at the end of last year from record lows, as carriers had hoped that rate increases might stick this time and that the worst was over. But rates plunged again in the weeks since, including 6.8% during the last reporting week to 404.2, a new all-time low. The index is now down 62.3% from a year ago: Rates were flat for three routes, but dropped for the other 12 routes, including to Europe, where rates plunged nearly 10% to a ludicrously low $211 per TEU (twenty-foot equivalent container unit). Rates to the US West Coast fell 8.4% to $810 per FEU (forty-foot equivalent container unit). Rates to the East Coast fell 5.2% to $1,710 per FEU. Rates to South America plunged 25.4%. This crash in shipping rates is a result of two by now typical forces: rampant and still growing overcapacity and lackluster demand. “Typical” because lackluster demand has been the hallmark of the global economy recently, and the problems of overcapacity have also been occurring in other sectors, including oil & gas and the commodities complex. Overcapacity from coal-mining to steel-making, much of it in state-controlled enterprises, has been dogging China for years and will continue to pose mega-problems well into the future. Overcapacity kills prices, then jobs, and then companies. The ocean freight industry went on a multi-year binge buying the largest container ships the world has ever seen and smaller ones too. It was led by executives who believed in the central-bank dogma that radical monetary policy will actually stimulate the real economy, and they were trying to prepare for it. And it was made possible by central-bank-blinded yield-chasing investors and giddy bankers. As a result, after years of ballooning capacity, carriers added another 8% in 2015, even while demand for transporting containers across the oceans languished near the flat line, the worst performance since 2009. “Massive Deterioration,” the CEO of Maersk, a bellwether for global trade, called the phenomenon.

Legend Warns About China’s Shocking Crisis And Going Cashless As World Economies Crumble

March 13, 2016

On the heels of wild start to the 2016 trading year, today the man who has become legendary for his predictions on QE, historic moves in currencies, and major global events, just warned about China’s shocking crisis, going cashless as world economies crumble and governments have their eye on your life savings. Egon von Greyerz: “As the sole focus of the media in the US is on the upcoming presidential election, the Americans are happily unaware of the fact that the US and the world economies are crumbling. Also, the debate between the candidates seems totally oblivious of what is happening in the real world since this is hardly being discussed… In Volatile Markets, Is Wealth Preservation King? In a King World News interview I spoke with the man who predicted the Swiss National Bank would experience staggering losses and that the Fed would also experience massive losses that will destabilize the global financial system! His company is the only one in the world offering a precious metals investment service outside the banking system, with direct ownership and full control by the investor. He has also become legendary for his predictions on QE, historic moves in currencies, and major global events. To find out what he and his company can do to help answer that age old question for you CLICK HERE. Egon von Greyerz continues: “Global trade is collapsing, global liquidity is crashing and bank to bank lending is falling fast. And then we have credit and asset bubbles in virtually every major economy as well as emerging markets around the world. The only solution desperate central banks know is to reduce interest rates and print more money. This is what the ECB just did again this week. Back in 2006 – 2009 interest rates were around 5%, which gave the central banks some margin to cut rates. But now we are in new territory with many countries at zero or even negative rates. No one understands the effect of negative rates because it has never occurred before in history. Eventually home buyers will go to their bank and ask to borrow €1 million and request that the banker pay the borrower for taking the loan. This is of course totally absurd and that is one of the reasons why negative rates don’t work. But no presidential candidate understands these problems or has the ability to discuss them. And even if they did, the voters would not be interested In such a debate, especially since elections must be all about good news and nothing about doom and gloom. Bad news or austerity are a guaranteed vote loser. What most people don’t realise Eric, is that their money is going to become totally worthless in the future. Let me try to explain the problems that will be facing all of us in coming years. Government Confiscation Firstly we have ZIRP or NIRP in most countries which means zero or negative interest policy. This means that in many countries in Europe and in Japan, the bank charges you when you deposit money. This is of course confiscation of your money. Every year you have less and less left, especially when bank charges are also deducted from your capital. But it doesn’t end there, Eric. Banks in Europe are now stopping depositors for taking out more than nominal amounts of cash. In France for example, the maximum is €1,000 and in Italy €3,000. Governments Going Cashless To Stop Bank Runs The reasons for this are manifold. Firstly authorities want to stop the use of cash in order to totally control people. By only allowing payments through the bank account, the government and the tax authorities are now the real Big Brother watching every step we take and every penny we spend. Sweden for example, is talking about being totally cashless in five years’ time. But the biggest reason for creating a cashless society is stop bank runs. The banking system is insolvent and leveraged up to fifty times and even more if derivatives are included. This means that there is only enough money in the bank for one client in fifty or two percent of clients in total to take out their money. If more people tried, the bank would have to close its doors because it would be bankrupt. By stopping clients to take cash out, bank runs are no longer possible. In theory clients could transfer their money to another bank but that would also be stopped. So now the bank has your money, it charges you for that pleasure and you can’t get your money out because your money is frozen or confiscated. This is what has become of the bankrupt banking system. But wait, the state has many other ways to take your money from you. When a bank is on the verge of going under, central banks around the world are no longer going to bail you out like they did in 2007 – 2009. No, next time there will be bail-ins. When a bank becomes insolvent, depositors money will be used to save the bank and to pay the banks losses. Another method that bankrupt governments will apply is to use bank deposits for forced savings. Every depositor will be obliged to put some or all of his cash into long term government bonds, probably for at least thirty years. It is easy to imagine that the money will be totally worthless after thirty years. Worthless Money And Greater Financial Collapse And if your money hasn’t been lost already after all the above, central banks are guaranteed to print enough money in coming years that most currencies will reach their intrinsic value of zero. Governments will have no other option in their attempt to save the financial system. We know of course that money printing can never save the world. All it will do is to add more debt thus making the final collapse even bigger. Eric, all the risks that I have just outlined, are a fail-safe guarantee that anyone who holds money in a bank today is likely to lose most or all of it over the next few years. As you know, I haven’t trusted the banking system for many years. When the odds are against you, why should you take such a massive risk that could lose you all your money. Remember that the banks are also custodians for clients’ securities and if the bank goes under, segregated securities are unlikely to remain segregated. Just remember what happened to Lehman and MF Global. How To Keep Your Life Savings From Being Stolen The wonderful thing is of course that there is such a simple solution. There is real money, which is gold and silver. The precious metals have been money for thousands of years and are the only money that has survived in history. Gold and silver, stored outside the banking system, is far superior to keeping cash in the bank. It is instant liquidity and it can be bought or sold in seconds. It is a superior way to keep liquid funds, and with zero or negative interest rates, the holding costs are very low. And if the financial system temporarily ceases to function, gold and silver will be used as barter. Throughout history, whenever there has been a crisis, gold or silver have always been used instead of paper money. We have talked many times about global risks Eric. There is virtually no major country that can survive economically intact from the coming crisis, whether we talking about Japan, Europe, the US, or emerging markets. Every day we hear of more problems. China’s borrowings for example, have gone from $2 trillion to $35 trillion in this century. The problem is that so much of this has been spent on redundant infrastructures. We all know of the many ghost towns. China’s Shocking Situation And Global Cataclysm But what is astonishing is that in three years China consumed more cement that the US did during the whole of the 20th century. There has been a tremendous amount of spending in China on projects that are now standing idle. This is why the Chinese government has just come out with a new scheme to save the Chinese financial system. Banks will be allowed, with government assistance, to turn bad loans into equity. But that is of course no solution. Instead of loans that won’t be repaid, banks will now hold equity in companies that are either worthless or worth considerably less than the value of the shares the bank is holding. Another consequence of this scheme is that banks will now have more lending capacity so they will again inflate their balance sheet with more bad loans. No one knows the amount of bad debt in the Chinese financial system but it could easily be up to 20% of the total loans or $7 trillion. Eric the risks are so substantial everywhere we look that a problem anywhere in the world could trigger a global cataclysm. This is why wealth protection in the form of gold and silver is so important and everyone who has liquid funds should own precious metals as insurance against these risks. ***KWN has now released the incredible audio interview with former White House official Larry Lindsey, where he discusses the coming chaos, the fight for freedom, gold, and how to take back control of our money, and you can listen to it by CLICKING HERE OR ON THE IMAGE BELOW. ***ALSO RELEASED: ALERT: Crucial Update On The War That Is Raging In The Silver And Gold Markets CLICK HERE.

Night Hunter: Russia’s New Helicopter Gunship Grabs Int’l Attention

17:04 17.03.2016(updated 17:09 17.03.2016)

The first batch of Mi-28NE Night Hunter attack helicopters has rolled off the assembly line at a Rosvertol plant in Rostov-on-Don, Gazeta.ru wrote on Thursday. The Mi-28NE Night Hunter, an export version of the Mil-28N helicopter developed by Rostvertol, a manufacturing arm of Russian Helicopters is an all-weather, day-night, military tandem, two-seat anti-armor attack helicopter with enhanced combat capabilities against land, air and sea-based targets. A number of Mi-28NEs are currently on combat duty in Iraq and are now being eyed also by Brazil, Vietnam and several North African countries. The Mi-28NE Night Hunter (NATO reporting name “Havoc”) can be deployed to identify and destroy enemy battle tanks, armored vehicles, personnel, boats, small naval vessels, and low-speed and low-altitude aircraft. It can also be used to destroy protected sites and defense installations. The Mi-28NE boasts an integrated electronic combat system. Other modifications include: a new main gearbox for transmitting higher power to the rotor; new high-efficiency blades with swept-shaped tips; and an engine fuel injection control system. The main sensors of the integrated electronic combat system are the microwave radar antenna, mounted above the rotor head, and a forward-looking infrared system. The system displays the helicopter location on a moving map indicator, and flight, systems and target information on liquid crystal displays. The crew is equipped with night-vision goggles. The pilot uses a helmet-mounted target designator, which allocates the target to the navigator's surveillance and fire control system. The navigator/weapons officer is then able to deploy guided weapons or guns against the target. The targeting system follows the direction of the pilot's eyes. The Mi-28NE Night Hunter is powered by two VK-2500 turboshaft engines each generating maximum take-off power of 2,200hp. The helicopter can climb at a rate of 13.6m/s and has a service ceiling of 5,600m. The cruise and maximum speeds are 270km/h and 300km/h respectively, while the range is about 435km. Nearly a dozen countries have shown interest in buying the Night Hunters. “These are CIS countries, Latin America, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Bahrain, Iran, Egypt, Algeria and also countries in sub-Saharan Africa, a source at the Defense Ministry’s international cooperation department told Gazeta.ru.

U.S. House votes 393-0 to declare ISIL atrocities ‘genocide’

Special to WorldTribune.com Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty

The U.S. House overwhelmingly condemned as genocide the atrocities committed by the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant extremist group (ISIL) against Christians, Yazidis, and other groups in Iraq and Syria. The 393-0 vote on March 14 came as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry considers making a legal determination that IS committed genocide — a move that some believe would obligate the United States to take further action against the group beyond the current air-strike campaign. House Speaker Paul Ryan chided the White House for delaying a decision. “As the administration waffles on this issue and doubles-down on its failed strategy to defeat ISIS, the American people are speaking loudly and clearly,” he said, using another acronym for the group. The House resolution identifies ISIL’s actions against Christians, Yazidis, Kurds, and other groups as “genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.” While the House vote was nonbinding, an executive branch determination of genocide could set off far-reaching moral and legal consequences. Only one such determination has been made previously, targeting the atrocities committed in Sudan’s Darfur region in 2004. At the least, a determination against ISIL would probably be referred to the United Nations Security Council for prosecution by the International Criminal Court.

Israel’s Main Concern in Syria: Iran, not ISIS

For some Israelis, desire to contain Tehran trumps fight against Islamic State, al Qaeda

By Yaroslav Trofimov March 17, 2016 5:30 a.m. ET

JERUSALEM—Unlike Syria’s other neighbors, Israel has by and large stayed away from the war that is ripping the country apart. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t deeply interested in how the five-year conflict ends—or that its interests are necessarily aligned with Washington's. etc. and the news story continues..

American ISIS Fighter a 'Gold Mine' for US Intelligence

News ISIS Terror Mar 16 2016, 5:18 pm ET by Josh Meyer

U.S. officials are eager to question an alleged American ISIS fighter captured in Iraq on Monday because he could be a treasure trove of intelligence about how the Islamic State really works, current and former U.S. counterterrorism officials told NBC News. "He would be an intelligence gold mine," said Seamus Hughes, a former U.S. National Counterterrorism Center official, who described Mohamed Jamal Khweis as the first American fighting with ISIS believed to have surrendered in the field. "He could provide a window into the ISIS command structure," said Hughes, who is now a deputy director of the Program on Extremism at George Washington University. "Who does he report to? What does his daily routine look like? And the most important thing - how did he get there?" Current and former U.S. counterterrorism officials said Khweis could provide key operational details of how Western recruits have managed to link up with ISIS recently despite a massive — and largely successful — effort by the U.S., Turkey and other countries to seal the borders leading into Syria and Iraq. And they hope Khweis can answer another critical question: What are these Western recruits, particularly Americans, doing for ISIS when they get there? Documents leaked last week by a disillusioned former ISIS member seem to show that Western recruits are asked whether they're interested in fighting or becoming suicide attackers. The documents contain information on thousands of purported ISIS members, including some Americans. Khweis, a 26-year-old U.S. citizen from Alexandria, Virginia, was captured by Kurdish Peshmerga military forces near Sinjar on Monday as he tried to enter the Kurdistan Region of Iraq from the ISIS stronghold of Mosul. On Wednesday, the Kurdistan Region Security Council said Khweis had traveled through Turkey to Syria in December 2015 accompanied by a young Iraqi woman. "He arrived in Iraq in late January and later fled, he claims, to return home," the council said. "His journey from the United States included stopovers in a number of European countries." The council stopped short of saying Khweis was fleeing from ISIS. The council said it was "in dialogue with our U.S. counterparts and authorities" about Khweis and that he was still in Kurdistan and being questioned by "relevant security authorities." It was not clear whether those authorities included U.S. intelligence and law enforcement officials, who are seeking access to Khweis. The U.S. Justice Department had no immediate comment on whether it plans to prosecute Khweis, as it has at least four other Americans who allegedly joined ISIS overseas. So far, Khweis has not been linked to any jihadist websites, chat rooms or other ISIS-related social media, according to Alex Kassirer, a counterterrorism analyst at the Flashpoint threat intelligence firm. She cautioned that Khweis could have operated under another name, or jihadi alias. More than two dozen other Americans have been confirmed as going to Syria to join ISIS, and officials speculate that the actual number may be far larger. At least eight have been killed. How Khweis made it past the anti-ISIS dragnet, and who helped him, is of particular interest, Hughes said. "They've done a good job of locking down the borders so you have to be very creative in getting there and need to know somebody. So it's very unlikely he just kind of showed up and met recruiters." Khweis can also shed light on how ISIS uses American fighters, and possibly on whether some are groomed for attacks in their home countries. Some Americans fighting for ISIS have served as low-level grunts while British counterparts played more strategic roles. "Was he placed with other foreign fighters?" Hughes asked. "Do they just throw them into the front lines? Or do they place special importance on Americans?"

Ayanle Hassan Ali, accused of stabbing at Canadian Forces centre, facing 9 charges

Toronto police Chief Mark Saunders says he doesn’t want to see ‘Islamophobia nonsense’ in relation to case

CBC News Posted: Mar 15, 2016 8:08 AM ET Last Updated: Mar 15, 2016 7:25 PM ET

A man accused of stabbing two members of Canada's military at a recruitment centre in Toronto on Monday is facing nine charges in connection with the attack. Ayanle Hassan Ali, a 27-year-old born in Montreal, appeared in court Tuesday wearing white prison-issued overalls and with his hands cuffed behind his back. The accused hung his head and looked down at the floor for most of a brief court appearance Tuesday, saying his name quietly when asked to do so. At one point, Toronto police spelled his first name as Ayanie, but offered no explanation for the mistake. Ali faces: Three charges of attempted murder. Two charges of aggravated assault. Three charges of assault with a weapon. One count of carrying a weapon dangerous to the public. Ali, who was remanded until Friday, will be back in court on March 18. DND still conducting security review 18 months after Parliament Hill shooting Two Canadian Armed Forces members stabbed at recruiting centre According to Toronto police Chief Mark Saunders, Ali said, "Allah told me to do this, Allah told me to come here and kill people," during the attack. Outside court, David Burke, Ali's lawyer, told reporters, "This is a very, very serious incident and no one is going to pretend it's not. "It's a very, very difficult situation he finds himself in," Burke added. "He seems very scared." Burke said he was "not getting into whether [Ali's] remorseful" about Monday's attack. When Saunders was asked if it was a terror attack, he said, "We're certainly looking into it," but cautioned against jumping to any conclusions. He noted it is too early to say if the accused was radicalized and urged the public against any anti-Islam sentiment in the wake of the attack. "I don't want this categorizing a large group of people; that will be very unfair and very inaccurate," he said, adding he doesn't want to see any of this "Islamophobia nonsense." Saunders said the man was carrying a "very large knife" and was unresponsive after the incident. The chief appealed to the public for tips or information, saying the accused is not co-operating with police. Ali has no previous criminal record and there was nothing to indicate he is affiliated with any terrorist organizations, according to Saunders. He has been in Toronto since 2011.

Clinton’s alternate reality: America ‘didn’t lose a single person’ in Libya

Posted on March 15, 2016 by Sam Rolley

Considering what happened to U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton should probably apologize for her recent outrageous comment about the U.S. decision to destabilize the country in 2011. Clinton, who was Secretary of State when the U.S. conducted military operations to oust Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi in 2011, told a town hall audience the operation was a success because it didn’t lead to the loss of American life. She said: “Now, is Libya perfect? It isn’t. But they did have two elections that were free and fair where they voted for moderates? … So, you know, changing from a dictator who has hollowed out your country to something resembling a functioning state and even hopefully a more democratic one doesn’t happen overnight.” “We’ve got to continue to support the Libyan people, to give them a chance, because otherwise you see what happened in Syria, with the consequences of millions of people flooding out of Syria, with more than 250,000 people killed, with terrorist groups like [the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria] taking up almost — huge blocks of territory, as big as some of the states in that area,” Clinton added. Clinton called the decision for the U.S. to get involved in Libya a “different kind of calculation” than current efforts in Syria. The former Secretary of State didn’t mention the names of the four Americans who died in Benghazi at a diplomatic compound her department failed to protect, instead opting to say of the efforts in Libya: “We didn’t lose a single person.” Here are the names of the four Americans who died in Libya under Clinton’s watch: U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens Information Officer Sean Smith CIA operative Glen Doherty CIA operative Tyrone Woods

Death Toll In Maiduguri Suicide Bombing Rises To 26

Channels Television. Updated March 16, 2016

The number of dead persons in two suicide bomb blasts that occurred in Umarari-Mulai, in the outskirts of Maiduguri in Borno State, northeast Nigeria has been put at 26, including the suicide bombers. The attack carried out by two female suicide bombers also left 18 others injured. Army spokesman, Colonel Sani Usman confirmed the attack. He said the first attack targeted a mosque, while the second blast occurred about 50 metres away, a few minutes later. Troops, security agents and care givers have been mobilized to the scene, while the wounded have been evacuated to Molai General Hospital for treatment. Troops, security agents and the Civilian JTF have secured the area and are combing the environment for possible clues. Channels Television’s correspondent in the northeast reports that the first bomb went off from one of the suicide bombers whom had disguised as a man in order to be able to join the worshipers. The second bomber, who was outside the mosque, detonated her bomb when sympathisers rushed to the scene. It is the third attack on Umarari, a village occupied by people dislodged by insurgents in adjoining villages. The military commiserated with the families of the victims of blast and reassure Nigerians that it would continue to rout the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists wherever they may be hiding. “We will not rest on our oars until all those that masterminded this latest heinous and other similar crimes are apprehended and brought to justice,” the army said. It further urged Nigerians to be more security conscious, cooperate with the troops and security agencies and report any suspicious persons, objects or happenings to troops or security agencies at all times. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but the Boko Haram terrorist group is largely suspected to be responsible. The group had claimed responsibility for similar attacks in the past. Boko Haram Would Be Eliminated The attack came a day after the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, said he was confident that Boko Haram would be eliminated in Nigeria. He had said that troops fighting insurgents in the northeast were doing so with utmost commitment and renewed zeal. He gave the assurance on Tuesday at the office of the Oyo State Governor during his one-day familiarisation tour of the Two Division of Nigerian Army, Adekunle Fajuyi Cantonment, Odogbo in Ibadan. According to Buratai, the intensity of the onslaught against terrorism has been increased and this has resulted in the noticeable reduction of attacks in the region.

Rich countries have a $78 trillion pension problem

CNBC By Katy Barnato March 16, 2016 9:03 AM

Dreams of lengthy cruises and beach life may be just that, with 20 of the world's biggest countries facing a pension shortfall worth $78 trillion, Citi said in a report sent on Wednesday. "Social security systems, national pension plans, private sector pensions, and individual retirement accounts are unfunded or underfunded across the globe," pensions and insurance analysts at the bank said in the report. "Government services, corporate profits, or retirement benefits themselves will have to be reduced to make any part of the system work. This poses an enormous challenge to employers, employees, and policymakers all over the world." The total value of unfunded or underfunded government pension liabilities for 20 countries belonging to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) — a group of largely wealthy countries — is $78 trillion, Citi said. (The countries studied include the U.K., France and Germany, plus several others in western and central Europe, the U.S., Japan, Canada, and Australia.) The bank added that corporates also failed to consistently meet their pension obligations, with most U.S. and U.K. corporate pensions plans underfunded. Countries with large public pension systems in Europe appear to have the greatest problem. Citi noted that Germany, France, Italy, the U.K., Portugal and Spain had estimated public sector pension liabilities that topped 300 percent of gross domestic product. Improvements in health care mean retirees need to string out their income for longer. Meanwhile, the increase in the retirement-age population versus the working population is straining government pension schemes. Several countries, including the U.K., France and Italy are gradually hiking retirement ages. Citi recommended that governments explicitly link the retirement age to expected longevity. It also advised that government-funded pensions should serve merely as a "safety net," rather than the prime pension provider, and that corporate pensions should be "opt out" rather than "opt in" to encourage greater enrollment.

Central Banks Move Into Crypto-Currencies as Part of Cashless Society Hustle

March 16, 2016 / Jeff Berwick / 7 Comments

RScoin is coming but do you want it? Top UK Telegraph journo Ambrose Evans-Pritchard just wrote about this planned crypto-currency in what is either an incredibly stupid and uneducated article or pure propaganda… it was titled “Central banks beat Bitcoin at own game with rival supercurrency.” The article is horrible central bank happy-talk that reads like the Bank of England wrote it for him and starts off with a blatant lie only three words in… this new RScoin, put out by the central bank of England, has not BEAT bitcoin. It is worse in every imaginable way than bitcoin… right down to the name. RScoin… central banker types aren’t exactly the most creative. We’ll call it FiatCoin around here. But the underlying intent is deadly serious. Central banks apparently have in mind mimicking bitcoin but issuing electronic currencies themselves and charging people to buy the currency. People may actually pay the central bank directly, thus creating accounts with central banks! If central banks and their handpicked political hooligans are successful in banning cash, the central bank’s RScoin could become the only game in town for millions and even billions of savers and investors. And central bankers would love that idea because they’d have total access to those accounts. They’d know everything you were doing and have the ability to seize or shut off your account at their choosing. It’s posited as a good thing. Everyone needs a second opinion on what they need to do with their cash and where they spend it. No doubt your friendly central banker will be glad to give you advice, and penalize you if you don’t take it. Telegaph journalist Ambrose is very happy with all these potential evolutions. We learn for instance, that “bitcoin is a failing experiment but its spin-off effects may change the world.” Of course RScoin isn’t actually distributed yet, but Ambrose seems confident that any central bank currency is going to be a big hit. And, oh yeah, bitcoin isn’t a failing experiment. If Ambrose wants to sell me all his bitcoin at 50% below current market price of $430 I will buy as much as he wants to offload. Here’s how he puts it: Computer scientists have devised a digital crypto-currency in league with the Bank of England that could pose a devastating threat to large tranches of the financial industry, and profoundly change the management of monetary policy. After this startling pronouncement, the article turns vague. And well it should because there are lots of problems with this idea. The biggest problem is that central banks are involved to begin with. The reason bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are doing well – and they are – is because they are NOT part of the vast Ponzi scheme that passes for Western finance. Depending on how they’re used and the precautions that are taken, bitcoin and other crypto-currencies are fairly anonymous. Yes, every transaction is public… but finding out who made the transactions can be as impossible as you want it to be. More importantly, there’s a cap on bitcoin issuance and bitcoin is not easy to come by. You have to “mine” it – solve specific equations – to obtain it and only a certain amount is available at a time. RScoin may do away with these pesky problems. Doubtless there will be no “mining,” as with bitcoin. The most obvious way to distribute RScoin will be to have people pay for it. Ambrose hints as much when he indicates that people may soon be able to transact directly with central banks if they want to use RTcoin. They can actually have an account with the Bank of England! What a super-duper thrill, eh? Of course, the bankers at the Bank of England will charge for this prestigious development. No doubt they will be the ones setting the price of an RScoin, at least initially. Later on they will hand-pick traders and run a rigged market that they will pretend is a “free” one. That’s one speculation anyway. We’ve seen it all before. Three of the main attractions of bitcoin are that it is anonymous, that it has a cap so bitcoins cannot be continually printed, thus debasing the rest of the currency stock and, finally, that it is PRIVATE and not part of the current financial system. Of course, there will be users for RTcoin, this is true. Millions and eventually billions no doubt. The same people who use Visa cards and can’t conceive of transacting outside of the current central bank economy. That won’t be everyone, though. In fact, having RTcoin will probably just validate the niche for private currencies. Short of banning private currencies outright, they will continue to grow. If RTcoin becomes popular, private crypto-currencies will probably see explosive growth. Central bankers will find RTcoin, or something like it, hard to resist because it will actually give them more control. For one thing, they don’t have to distribute it through the commercial banking system. This cuts out a middleman. Second, it may allow central banks to generate more control over the credit card sector, including cards such as VISA and MasterCard. Finally, it will give central banks more and more control over customer accounts, especially if they are lodged directly at the central bank. This no pipe dream. Ben “Broadly-Bent” Broadbent, the Bank of England’s Deputy Governor comments in the article that “the system could in principle be used to cover government services, tax collection, and benefit payments.” In other words, such a currency could advance the horrible cashless society that Broadly-Bent and other economic elites have in mind. Bottom line from Ambrose’s happy-talk article: Such a currency transfers “control of money creation from private banks to the state. Arguably, this would make the financial system safer and less prone to boom-bust cycles.” How many outright lies and fallacies can one man fit into an article?! The financial system is unsafe and is prone to booms and busts BECAUSE of centralized control of money printing and price-fixing of interest rates. Free markets (capitalism – when left unrestricted) do not require force. They do not require a central planner. That’s why central banking is actually a tenet of communism. It is communist control of the money system… and since money is involved in everything it is communism embedded in the entire economy. Complete with a PolitBureau who meet behind closed doors and decide what is best for us. RTcoin doesn’t change a thing about the current Ponzi-scheme. In fact, its issuance would make things worse. Central banks would be in charge of how much to mint and central bankers always debase. The boom-bust cycle would be unaffected. Nothing that comes out of a central bank is any good. They are simply engines of the monetary rape. In this case, the rapists see the main advantages of an electronic currency is that THEY control the results as well as the issuance. They can see your accounts and transactions records at any time and ensure that your account is made available for purposes of fines, tax collection and even outright confiscation. A brave new world indeed. Thanks but no thanks. We’ll stick with our private crypto-currencies. Of course, that doesn’t mean we’ll stop covering the broader sector of electronic money, especially if RTcoin – or some other similar facility – comes online. We’re a pioneer in this area, having recommended people buy bitcoin when it was only $3.oo a coin. Ultimately, bitcoin went to $1,000 a coin, making some of our subscribers extremely wealthy. Just two months ago we featured another evolving cryptocurrency, Ethereum, near 0.006BTC. It is currently at 0.03BTC for a gain of 400%. Cryptocurrencies are increasingly important, and you need to know about them. We made these recommendations in our TDV newsletter, where we make suggestions for all our profitable trades. We’ve had amazing success of late with our investments accumulating hundreds of percentage points to the upside. Are you a subscriber yet? Better get on board. The government is NOT going to tell you the truth. Central banks won’t either. Your financial advisor probably has no clue about any of this. And forget about the mainstream media. It’s pure propaganda, like this trash from Ambrose the shill. Turn them off. Turn us on. Subscribe HERE. Jeff Berwick

How Negative Interest Rates Will Turbocharge The Migrant Crisis

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/16/2016 20:10 -0400

Submitted by Nick Giambruno via InternationalMan.com,

In the 1989 Batman movie, the Joker (played by Jack Nicholson) showers a crowded Gotham street with free money. In the scene, it looks like it’s raining hundred-dollar bills. The people love it. Little do they know, the money is actually a trap. Once the Joker has lured them into the street, he unleashes poisonous gas. I think the latest gimmick to stimulate the economy is pretty much the same thing. It’s one of the most absurd ideas I’ve heard in a while. And that’s saying something, considering the outrageous schemes our economic luminaries have recently come up with, like… Faking a space alien invasion to help stimulate the economy. Minting a trillion dollar coin. Negative interest rates. Banning physical cash. Cash for clunkers. Increasing rounds of money printing, euphemistically called “quantitative easing.” These ideas would be comical if people in power didn’t actually take them seriously. But they do. It’s the same bad medicine the economic witch doctors have been prescribing for years. With a track record like this, it’s hard to imagine they could come up with something even more ridiculous. But they have. This latest gimmick goes well beyond the absurdity of their previous ideas. It’s verifiably insane. And the scariest part is, this dangerous idea is gaining currency. It’s spreading across the world like a smallpox outbreak. Helicopter Money Politicians and establishment economists call this scary idea “a basic income.” I call it sheer lunacy. It’s where the government gives you money just because. There’s no requirement to work or even display a willingness to work. You could sit at home all day, watch TV, and still get a check from the government. Simply put, a basic income is “free” money the government hands out to everyone unconditionally. European politicians are heavily pushing this policy. Finland wants to pay its citizens around $1,000 a month. The Netherlands and the U.K. have also proposed dishing out free money. In Switzerland, there’s a proposal to hand out around $2,800 a month to everyone. This one is surprising since the Swiss are generally sensible about money. The basic income virus has also infected Canada, which recently announced a pilot program in Ontario. It’s just a matter of time before the idea gains traction in the U.S. In fact, U.S. central economic planners are already discussing it. You might recall former Fed chair Ben Bernanke’s nickname, “Helicopter Ben.” He got the name after he spoke publicly about using helicopter drops of money to “stimulate” the economy. This is just another flavor of a basic income. Whether you call it free money, a basic income, or helicopter money, the idea is spreading. It’s the next potion the economic witch doctors will use once their latest scam—negative interest rates—not only fails to cure our economic ailments, but predictably makes them worse. No matter, the idea will be politically popular. Who would protest free money? And, once a country adopts a basic income, it would be next to impossible to get rid of it until the system collapses under its own weight. Who would vote for a politician that stops (or even slows down) the gravy train? The Joker used free money to lure the people of Gotham to poisonous gas. Now real world politicians are using the same trick. They’re using free money to lure the masses into perpetual dependence on government. More Problems Ahead for Europe If Europeans think they have a migrant problem now, just wait until they institute a basic income. It’s obvious what will happen… Once European governments start handing every person thousands of dollars in free money each month (more than many in Africa make in a year), everyone will be scrambling for Europe. A basic income is a sure recipe for economic disaster and increased cultural tensions. It’s an environment where blowhards and demagogues flourish. Unfortunately, this has happened repeatedly throughout Europe’s history. Once again, it’s going to lead to some very bad things. I think a basic income will greatly accelerate this recurring trend. Without a basic income and other welfare benefits, immigrants are usually skilled and the very best of people. But the average European will surely forget that once free money draws in the world’s riffraff. This is why, although the financial effects will be severe, the sociopolitical ones will be much worse. Here’s the bottom line: All you can do is protect yourself from the consequences of all this stupidity. This is a big reason why I think everyone should own some gold. Gold is the ultimate form of wealth insurance. It’s preserved wealth for thousands of years through every kind of crisis imaginable. It will preserve wealth during the next crisis, too. Unfortunately, most people have no idea how to prepare for the next economic collapse…

Gold Jumps After Fed Scales Back Forecasts for Interest Rates

Luzi-Ann Javier March 16, 2016 — 2:09 PM EDT Updated on March 16, 2016 — 3:12 PM EDT

Odds of rate increase in June declines after Fed statement Fed statement signals ``weak'' economic growth, Foster say, Gold snapped a three-day losing streak after Federal Reserve officials held off from raising borrowing costs and scaled back forecasts for how high interest rates will rise this year. The Fed kept the target range for the benchmark rate at 0.25 percent to 0.5 percent, according to a statement Wednesday following a two-day meeting. Policy makers’ updated projections implied two quarter-point increases this year, down from four forecast in December. Lower rates are a boon for gold, which becomes more competitive against interest-bearing assets. Gold has advanced in 2016 as turmoil in financial markets and the outlook for slower global economic growth boosted demand for the metal as a store of value. In dialing back rate expectations, the Fed said economic and financial developments continue to pose risks. Odds of an interest-rate increase in June fell to 38 percent, from 54 percent on Tuesday. The Fed decision “implies that economic growth is weak,” said Joe Foster, who helps manage a $575 million gold fund at Van Eck Associates. “A weak economy and the inability to have effective monetary policy creates all sorts of financial risks, risks in the banking system, risks to the economy, and those type of systemic risks are what gold rises on.” Bullion for immediate delivery rose 2.1 percent to $1,258.21 an ounce at 2:51 p.m. in New York. Before the Fed announcement, gold futures for delivery in April fell 0.1 percent to settle at $1,229.80 on the Comex. Prices rallied as much as 2.3 percent in electronic trading after the close. Prior to the Fed announcement, gold’s rally this year prompted Morgan Stanley to raise its average gold-price estimate by 8 percent to $1,173 an ounce for 2016. Societe Generale SA increased its 2016 forecast to $1,150, from a previous esti

mate of $1,000. Holdings in exchange-traded funds backed by gold rose 0.1 percent to 1,734.6 tons on Tuesday, near the highest level since July 2014, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Georgette Boele, an ABN Amro Group NV strategist and third-most accurate precious-metals forecaster tracked by Bloomberg in the fourth quarter, said gold is more likely to reach her year-end estimate of $1,300 after the Fed’s statement. “I think we have seen the low and the momentum is up,” Boele said in an e-mail. “My forecasts may be too conservative.”

Richard Russell – The Key To The Bull Market In Gold & The Bear Market In Global Stock Markets

Late last year, Richard Russell gave us the key to the bull market in gold and the bear market in global stock markets. This is the second in a series of releases KWN will be publishing on the wisdom passed down from the Godfather of newsletter writers. (King World News) – From legendary Richard Russell: “I want to start this site off with a bow to Fred Hickey, who puts out The High Tech Strategist. Hickey is a prodigious worker and reads everything. Fred is a true believer in gold and I read his work carefully. …Americans are scared to death and befuddled by the news of the day. They are well aware that their own lives and jobs have little to do with the nonsense that the Fed and the government is shoveling out to them. Early Stages Of A Historic, Primary Bear Market I’m afraid that we’re in the early stages of a primary bear market. Each bear market has its method of attack…Bear markets are sneaky beasts and they like to do their damage as secretly and as unobtrusively as possible. I hate to say it but somewhere ahead, the bears going to get it all together and the innocent little stream is going to turn into a waterfall. What can you do about it? Stay out of the market? Protect yourself by remaining in pure wealth, gold. For thousands of years, silver and gold have been treated as pure wealth. As the standard measures of wealth (stocks and bonds) have deteriorated, veteran investors have forgone profits and moved their assets into pure wealth. I think the calm and easy part of this bear market has drawn to a close. We are moving into the high drama portion. Politically, I noticed a cartoon that tells a story. A hugely muscled and bare chested Putin is on the beach. Obama is sitting in the sand while Putin is kicking sand in Obama’s face. The question — how much sand will Obama eat? Chinese And Indians Buying Gold In Huge Quantities In the meantime, the story is that worried Chinese investors are dumping their stocks and buying gold in huge quantities. They are emulating the Indians, who are buying gold in huge quantities. The year ahead is guaranteed to provide surprises and I sincerely hope that one of them will not be WWIII. I think Putin will push Obama as far as he can go, short of war. But mistakes happen, which is one reason why gold is creeping higher. Breach Of $1,250 Confirms New Bull Market In Gold I use $1,250 as the point of no return for gold. If gold betters $1,250 and stays there, I think we will have confirmation of a new bull market in gold. Gold demand from China, India, Russia and other nations continues to be enormous. Chinese imports through Hong Kong in August were more than double that of a year ago. And gold withdrawals to the Shanghai exchange have been huge.” King World News note: Gold recently took out the $1,250 level that Russell warned was the key, but it has pulled back below that important target. If gold can break back above and remain above $1,250, that would trigger Russell’s bull market call for gold. This also explains why there has been such a fierce battle raging near the $1,250 zone. How did Russell know it would unfold this way?

The Government Actually has a Zombie Apocalypse Plan — and It’s Just Been Declassified

Jake Anderson March 16, 2016

(ANTIMEDIA) — A few years ago, the Center for Disease Control launched a zombie preparedness initiative that drew significant attention. The Department of Defense followed suit and developed an entire training course intended for the Joint Operational Planning and Execution System (JOPES). The complete response plan, called CONPLAN888, was recently declassified, and it’s just as weird and creepy as you might imagine. The Black Vault posted two documents retrieved from the NSA using the Freedom of Information Act. The purpose of the plan, according to the United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), was to use a fictitious scenario to prepare for real-world emergencies. “[The training focused on how to] undertake military operations to preserve ‘non-zombie’ humans from the threats posed by a zombie horde. Because zombies pose a threat to all ‘non-zombie’ human life (hereafter referred to as ‘humans’), USSTRATCOM will be prepared to preserve the sanctity of human life and conduct operations in support of any human population-including traditional adversaries.” The objective of the three-fold plan includes the neutralization of zombies through “denial, deception, disruption, degradation or destruction,” though with the exception of ‘destruction,’ it is unclear what is meant by these terms with regard to fighting zombies. Reading at times like the treatment to a campy science fiction script, CONPLAN888 categorizes eight classes of zombies:

Pathogenic zombies — Zombie life forms created after infection by a viral or bacterial contagion.

Radiation zombies — Zombie life forms created after infection from electromagnetic or particle radiation.

Evil Magic Zombies — Zombie life forms created by occult experimentation, or “evil magic.”

Space Zombies — Zombies that come from space or are created by extraterrestrial toxins (this also includes Zombie Satellites that could pose a threat to SATCOM services like DirecTV)

Weaponized Zombies — Zombie life forms engineered through bio-mechanical technology for the purposes of attacking another nation.

Symbiant-Induced Zombies — Zombie life forms created after the “introduction of a symbiant life form into an otherwise healthy host.”

Vegetarian Zombies — Zombie life forms that cause no threat to humans because they only eat plant life (could nevertheless “cause massive de-forestation or elimination of basic food crops essential to humans [rice, corn, soybeans])”

Chicken Zombies (yes, this is real)— Zombies that are essentially old hens that can no longer lay eggs. Farmers euthanize them with carbon monoxide and stack them in piles; however, some of the hens are still alive and crawl out. Though they ultimately die of organ failure, chicken zombies are “simply terrifying to behold” and are likely only to make people become vegetarians in protest of animal cruelty. CONPLAN888 consists of multiple striking passages, given this is a government agency assessing a fictitious zombie uprising. More practical factors concern environmental issues such as groundwater contaminated with zombie pathogens. Other, more ominous notes, include references to the government declaring martial law within the United States. There is also a reference to epidemiologic surveillance for the purposes of watching changes in disease vectors. The government response to a zombie uprising unleashed by a nation-state, large corporation, or terrorist group includes the following additional measures: HAND SANITIZER, which, marketing materials say, kills 99% of germs (they note that hand sanitizer has never been tested on biohazard level 4 pathogens like ebola); and FIREPOWER TO THE HEAD (“the human brain will still be functioning in the zombie state, but it is universally agreed that the only part actually active will be the brain stem”). The document’s assessment of zombies states that they are “undead and thus feel no pain or fear of death, (therefore) riot control counter-measures would be completely ineffective.” CONPLAN888 references the books and articles The Zombie Survival Guide, World War Z; An Oral History of the Zombie War, and “Zombie Chickens Taking Over California,” among others.

The US military is everywhere, except history books

War defines the United States. Domestically, it is the country’s greatest budgetary priority: $598 billion, 54 per cent of discretionary spending, in the fiscal year 2015. Globally, we have more than 800 bases in some 80 countries, and spend more than the next nine nations combined. Yet academic historians, especially those at the nation’s most richly endowed research universities, largely ignore the history of the US military. This year, historians at the Ivy League schools, plus Stanford, the University of Chicago, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) – who collectively offered instruction on hundreds of scintillating subjects from Puritan New England to women in the workforce – provided just six that directly examined the US military. This is a tragedy. Knowledge is power, as Francis Bacon observed. Insofar as we neglect to study our military, we reduce our ability to understand it, and weaken ourselves. I am not a disinterested observer. Since 2011, when I received my PhD in history from Columbia University, I have taught a course called ‘Empire of Liberty: A Global History of the US Military’ on and off at the university during the summers – a survey of ideas and events from King Philip’s War in 1675 to Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. It surprised me to discover that this was the first course on the history of the US military in many years at Columbia. It startled me even more to learn that there is little research into the history of military power at elite US universities (themselves key players, ironically, in the story: Columbia and the University of Chicago gave us atomic weapons, Harvard invented napalm, and MIT and others are major military research centres). In fact, academics nationwide often dismiss military history as the home of fetishists of suffering and antiquarians obsessed with swords, muskets and battlefield tours. ‘This gets discovered about every 10 to 15 years,’ said Brian McAllister Linn, a history professor at Texas A&M University, and a past president of the Society for Military History. In a 2007 review of the field for the prominent professional journal American Historical Review, Robert Citino, from the University of North Texas, wrote that military history’s ‘academic footprint continues to shrink, and it has largely vanished from the curriculum of many of our elite universities’. Vietnam-era anti-military protests, and a devotion to operational specifics by some military historians, are the most frequently cited explanations for this neglect. ‘Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser,’ the senior officer George S Patton told the Third US Army in 1944. This apparently extends to history departments. ‘We’re kind of operating still in the wake of the Vietnam War. Many academics were seared by that experience. They haven’t wanted to have anything to do with war and conflict, and link any study with condoning war or conflict,’ Tami Davis Biddle, who teaches at the US Army War College, said in an interview. In recent decades, professional historians have transformed the field by examining neglected areas of the past, from gender relations to urban history, and many others. Military historians declined, for a time, to follow their creative lead. ‘As I say, I deal in tactics,’ wrote the author Margaret Atwood in her poem ‘The Loneliness of the Military Historian’ in 1995. Ken Jackson, a Columbia historian, noted that over the years his department ‘has searched for faculty in colonial history, women’s history, economic history, cultural history, political history, African-American history, urban history, diplomatic history, immigration history, Civil War and Reconstruction history, and labour history’. But, he said, ‘I do not recall military history ever being mentioned even as an additional field.’ Times change. In his 2007 review, Citino declared that a ‘new military history’ had moved the field ‘beyond narrow battlefield analysis in order to concentrate on the interface between war and society’. So comprehensive was the change, he wrote, ‘it seems silly to keep calling it “new”.’ Within an overall paradigm of relative neglect, diverse historians now consider military events in the context of social, cultural, environmental, economic and other fields of inquiry. In 2005, the Society of Military History elected its first woman president, Carol Reardon from Pennsylvania State University. As a current indicator, the January 2016 edition of the Journal of Military History is introduced by the historians Denise Davidson, Christine Haynes and Jennifer Heuer. Meanwhile, US commanders have brought our armed forces closer to the public. Not only is the Department of Defense the world’s largest employer, with more than 1.3 million men and women on active duty, and 742,000 civilian personnel, it has also affirmatively accepted its lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees since 2011. Officers opened all US combat roles to women in 2015. The Reserve Officers’ Training Corps programme is now offered at every Ivy League school, Stanford and MIT. ‘I think the biggest problem we’ve got in the country is people don’t study history any more,’ said Donald Rumsfeld in 2006. Academia abhors a vacuum, and political science has attempted to fill this one. As Andrew Bacevich at Boston University observed of the consequences: ‘I tend to see that resulting in war being sanitised, robbed of context, and simplified to suit the needs of some particular model.’ From the other side of the lectern, as Biddle and Citino commented in 2014: ‘Our students’ desire for knowledge creates an important opportunity for departments of history. The late recession has produced a drop in humanities majors … University college administrators, particularly college deans and chairs of history departments, may find some relief in the appeal of military history.’ US students deserve a chance to learn about the country’s military past, given its immense impact on their lives and those of others around the world. Robust sales of books and movies on military subjects demonstrate strong interest in the subject. Perhaps by expanding ‘military history’ to a ‘history of the military’ – still more focused than ‘war and society’ courses – historians can gain enough intellectual flexibility to reinvigorate the discipline. Fortune, many historians have observed, will favour the brave.

DHS, the FBI and Intrado Communications are giving our homes threat assessments

Published: March 16, 2016

Source: MassPrivateI Intrado Communications is the company behind assigning every home a threat rating and it’s run by two former deputies, the FBI and DHS. “George Heinrichs and Stephen Meer spent 35 years building Intrado Inc. into one of the largest public-safety companies providing 911 services.” “They brought on partners who have experience in areas of public safety and technology who they met while running Intrado – from their time as entrepreneurs and sheriff’s deputies when they launched 911-services company SCC Communications Corp. in 1979, later raising venture funding, changing its name to Intrado, going public on the Nasdaq exchange and being acquired by a larger public company for approximately one-half billion dollars.” Intrado’s co-founders, (two former cops) were inducted into the Business Hall of Fame for creating a national home threat assessment program! “Heinrichs and Meer were inducted into the Boulder County Business Hall of Fame in 2006. They are serving as PSV’s managing partners and have brought on operating partner Terry Gold, founder of Gold Systems, a communications and speech recognition software company in Boulder; general partner Jim Davis, a former FBI agent…” Did you catch that? Intrado also has FBI agents helping them create a national home threat assessment program. Fyi, Intrado made $72 million from (DHS) government contracts from 2000-2016. Intrado is now a subsidiary of West Corporation who’s made over $278 million from (DHS) government contracts. What is Smart911? “With Smart911, citizens enter personal information online, which is then automatically available to a 911 call taker. The additional data provided is far more extensive than what is typically available to a 911 telecommunicator, and can include information about health, disabilities, family members or pets, and a home address affiliated with a cell phone number.” “… Smart911 is a national system that provides citizens with the ability to create safety profiles online holding personal data that is automatically displayed to 911 only during emergency calls. Information can include children’s photos, medical conditions, disabilities, home addresses of cellphone callers, or other rescue-related information…” Intrado is using clever word play to convince Americans to give police their family photos. “Safety profiles can detail medical conditions, allergies and disabilities… law enforcement can have instant access to photos of children to save critical time when searching for a missing child, or key details about a household in the event of a silent call.” Soon cops everywhere will be asking Americans to provide them with “SAFETY PROFILES“! Smart911 is much worse than giving police your ‘safety profiles’. Smart911 assigns every home in America with a color coded threat rating based on pizza deliveries! Smart911 is really about police showing up in force, when responding to anyone or anything the government deems a threat. “Based on 911 call location information, Intrado and Prepared Response (PRI) will provide real-time access to crucial information…” Click here, here & here to find out how corporations are working with DHS to create a national home threat assessment program . DHS is paying West Corp., (Intrado) $4.2 million to provide them with radios and microphones. “The order is for KNG series portable radio accessories, including batteries and microphones.” Why is DHS buying microphones, if they’re not being used to spy on Americans? West Corp., went out of their way to expand their relationship with DHS. “We are pleased to further expand our relationship with DHS. This is an agency with communications requirements 24 hours a day. Our team is committed to support that mission as seamlessly and effectively as possible. We look forward to working with DHS for many years to come” RELM President and Chief Executive Officer David Storey said. West Corp., even uses “Homeland” and a Norse mythological reference to Thor to sell its portable communications and command centers to police. It’s called the Tactical Homeland Operational Response (THOR) Shield. The THOR Shield includes a two-story, 80-foot-long mobile spying vehicle(s) that “offers public safety, homeland security and other agencies full-scale, rapid response capabilities.” “THOR Shield is a mobile communications and command center service intended for use in planned or unplanned public safety events.” What they’re really saying is, police can use THOR to spy on demonstrations. “Serving a multitude of scenarios, THOR has supported local emergency communications for large-scale events such as the Super Bowl, the Martin Luther King 50th Anniversary celebration in Washington, D.C., open air concerts in diverse locations, and many systems’ deployments and upgrades.” A statement by Intrado’s founder reveals what’s really happening. “After 35 years we like to think we understand the culture of public safety. We have developed a network, We know people and we can make connections” Heinrich said. In other words Intrado has strong connections with the FBI, DHS and “the culture of public safety” otherwise known as law enforcement. Intrado is one of 67 corporations spying on Americans communications for DHS. DHS’s National Coordinating Center for Communications (NCC) continuously monitors national and international incidents and events that may impact emergency communications. According to DHS, ” It was the private sector that first recommended the establishment of a centralized government-industry coordination center. Today, 24 federal government agencies and over 50 private sector communications and information technology companies routinely share critical communications information…” Let that sink in for a moment, Sixty-Seven American companies allegedly asked DHS to create a National Communications Spy Center! Where does the Police State stop? How long before Americans are arrested for crimes they haven’t committed yet? Cops around the country are training their officers to recognize signs of anti-government extremism and to exercise caution during routine traffic stops, etc.

The Circus We Call the Election Process!

Posted March 16th, 2016 at 4:34 PM (CST) by Bill Holter & filed under Bill Holter.

Dear CIGAs, As a rule I try not to comment all that much on politics because it is such a polarizing topic. No matter what I could say one way or the other, “politics” will turn some normally placid folks into rabid trolls. That said, what we are witnessing now has never happened before in our lifetimes and is not even about the candidates …it is about the survival of our Republic! Immediately after turning on the business news this morning, I heard an interview of a Republican National Committee member talking about “rules”. I did not catch who it was but the essence of the interview was it did not matter who had the most votes or delegates …the Republican committee would choose “their candidate” if no one had the majority leading into the convention. He was questioned with “so the will of the people doesn’t matter”? To which he answered and I will paraphrase in my own words as I understood, “it doesn’t matter who the people vote for and we will even overturn a majority if we see fit, the Republican party will choose their candidate for the good of the Republican party”. As an aside, John (buddy can you spare a Kleenex) Boehner “endorsed” Paul Ryan for presidential nominee. (Not sure I would have voted for him but I don’t recall his name on the ballot)? Upon further searching, the interview can be found here Voters don’t pick nominee, we do: GOP official. All I can say is “in your face, we make the rules, you don’t even matter”! Please understand this fully, the tricks, sleight of hand and outright lying as to our country’s condition are not working anymore. The primary voting on both sides show an electorate where a large percentage of the country has woken up in anger. It doesn’t matter if the average guy does not know exactly “what” is wrong, he/she knows it is something! Reality is so bad the “machine” can no longer hide it and the boiling point is being reached. The election looks to me as if it is going to be a referendum of the average guy versus the establishment. The danger of course is if enough “average guys” have their votes ignored they will rail against the machine. The way I see it, the upcoming election will be about the establishment retaining the control and ability to continue bilking the system or the populous rising up and taking power back. You might ask “what does this have to do with finance or economics”? In no particular order, it has EVERYTHING to do with economics and finance! Whatever happens will certainly affect the dollar (the currency of any nation is the equivalent of its common stock). Future policy will affect the dollar as well as how foreigners view what happens. Interest rates, stocks, real estate, everything imaginable will be affected. It does need to be said that no matter who wins or loses, the system is already toast and only “timing” may be altered. Most importantly I believe the only difference between who wins and who loses will dictate how quickly or severe the elimination of our civil rights and liberties will be. In my opinion we are actually watching a circus that no fiction writer could have dreamed up. On one side we have a socialist/communist running against an apparent felon. On the other side we have a populist who says whatever he cares to as long as it’s something the people are thinking, running against a hardened conservative that no one in establishment Washington likes. The odds favor a Clinton/Trump matchup. I would ask a couple of questions. What will the response be if Hillary Clinton is indicted? A really far out question would be what if she is somehow pardoned and allowed to run? On the other side, what will happen if the nomination is taken away from Mr. Trump? Or better yet, what if it is taken away from both Trump and Cruz and instead given to a “preferred” candidate? The most comical thing I can think of right now is future debates between Hillary and The Donald! Before finishing it needs to be said the old adage “it doesn’t matter who you vote for, it only matters who counts the votes” is probably quite true now more than ever before. Because of the financial backdrop I wonder whether or not we will even have an election? If the financial system were to come down prior to the election (which I believe is likely), would we have an election under martial law conditions? Financially our fate is carved in stone in my opinion, how we navigate, survive or perish with or without civil liberties is in question. As I said at the beginning, I hesitate to write on this topic because my e-mail inbox explodes with hatred. As an admission, my candidate of choice was Ben Carson. Was he most qualified? No. Was he establishment or even a politician? No. Did he have ANY experience in government? No. In my opinion, Ben Carson is an American with his country’s best interest ahead of his own or anyone else’s. He believes in God and in Christian values, whether real or not, the world would be a pretty cool place if everyone got along and acted as Christ did according to the Bible. Mr. Carson was my choice because as I see it, our “inalienable” (or God given) rights have been frittered away and we are on the cusp of losing them altogether. Maybe I am mistaken but I view him as a man of respect for everyone and their individual rights, not someone who wants control through handouts I can only pray that we as a nation can find our way back in time when neighbor helped neighbor, and self reliance and accountability for one’s actions not only meant something but was expected. No matter the outcome, this next election will be historical! Standing watch, Bill Holter Holter-Sinclair collaboration “Lucid” comments welcome! bholter@hotmail.com

UWEX 16 will dominate our headlines come mid-November, at the latest. To some extent, the GOP Primary, as important as it is, is serving as a distraction for a much serious situation that is unfolding in Texas. It involves preparations for mass FEMA camp incarcerations, the use of slave labor in the camps and the engagement of rogue American military units identified as hostile by this current administration. Very Few Are Paying Attention This is the story that will get no traction. Last fall, I wrote about Jade Helm 16 and how it was going to be a more dire continuation of Jade Helm 15. In late January/early February of 2016, I wrote with great specificity regarding emerging details of Jade Helm 16, now known as Unconventional Warfare Exercise 16 (UWEX 16)-(aka Jade Helm 16). Very few took notice. In the first week of February, I published several documents pertaining to UWEX 16, including the following advertisement for “role players” in this “drill”: The U.S. Army Special Operations Command is looking for role players, most with past military, government or law enforcement experience, to take part in unconventional warfare training that will happen partly in Texas between March and June, 2016. Photo: Oak Grove Technologies The reader can see that the drill apparently, at least in part, kicks off at Camp Bullis, TX., on March 21 following a preliminary set of activities. Independent Media Confirmation Seven months after mentioned Jade Helm 16 by name and six weeks after publishing documents related to UWEX 16 (ie Jade Helm 16), Dahboo777 published this video, yesterday, highlighting these same documents as depicted in the following video. Private UWEX 16 Eyewitness Accounts Have Remained Steady Since January I have received several very similar emails in the past 8 weeks which, in part tells us why we should be concerned with UWEX 16. Dear Dave, Thanks for your coverage last year of Jade Helm 15. Although I didn’t realize it then, we have a lot to be afraid of when it comes to Jade 2 or UWEX as they are calling the next phase of Jade Helm 15. I have a family member who is serving in Special Operations. We recently met with him for lunch and he was as white as a ghost. He told us that he is expected to “extract domestic terrorists and take them to an impromptu detention facility. At the facility, they are expected to train foreign troops to take over the detention of the prisoners. This is what you wrote about last summer about the Army Reserves in Michigan. His best friend is training for guerrilla warfare inside of Texas. Is JH2 going to be what all of us were afraid was happening in Jade Helm 15? Please do not publish my name or email address. It is clear that this above email is talking about FEMA camp activation with foreign troop involvement. A deep-cover source connected to Paul Martin is reporting the same thing. This scenario is very consistent with the Resettlement Army documents released in 2014. I also received this email on Friday, Feb. 5, 2016, not too long after my release of the UWEX documents. To the staff of The Common sense show: My cousin is deployed in Army Spec. Ops at Ft. Bragg. He is going to be expected to take part in guerrilla warfare drills against rogue military forces. After arriving at Ft. Bragg, he was still permitted to leave the base. We live in Texas and drove to meet him. When we went to lunch. he had all of use leave our cell phones in the car and we walked a block to eat dinner. He said that they were beginning to receive briefings about taking on rogue military units in a guerrilla war scenario. He assumes they are American military units, but they were not told that when he was presented with their newly created training specs. He has a role in this exercise, but I will not reveal the nature, as we do not identify him. He said he is being moved from one base to another base that has not yet been identified. He suspects that it is in the area because their deployment gear remains the same. He told us that he fears the drill could go live for many reasons… Most recently, following an interview with Mike Adams, on March 13, 2016, I received several emails regarding UWEX 16 including the following: Hi Dave. I just had a opportunity to hear your interview with Mike Adams. When you spoke about the military drills soon to begin here in Texas my ears pricked up. I live just a few miles down the road from Fort Hood. It is in Killeen and I’m in Lampasas, Texas. I am a nurse and work 10-6 at night in a local nursing home. This morning another nurse informed me that about 1,000 (one thousand) soldiers from Fort Hood are being sent out of the area on assignment. I asked her if she knew where they were going. She didn’t have any idea but it sure sounds suspicious in light of everything else going on. Just thought you might be interested. Thanks for all the great work you and all the watchmen do! God bless you, your family and Katy. Sent from my iPad Late last night, I received this email from a Texas resident. Dear Dave, I am going to have to be a bit vague in this email in order to protect the identity of the person that I got the following information from very recently. Governor Abbott has been having local discussions with certain people regarding the idea that Texas will secede from the Union. It is 1861 all over again. I also know that our Texas governor has had discussions with several other governors about the same topic……. Again, a deep cover source close to Paul Martin has said the same. Also, Gary Franchi of Next News Network has released the following video on UWEX 16. It is very clear that various aspects of FM 39.4, of the Army Resettlement documents are very clearly associated with UWEX 16 in terms of how this playing out. As was the case with the NAZIS, slave labor will be a part of the landscape as evidenced by the following Army document.

Appendix J

J-20 FM 3-39.40 12 February 2010

J-67.

Commanders must organize and manage detainees in such a manner as to permit the proper and ready employment of each detainee. Establish and maintain a current occupational skill record for each detainee. Include new skills as they are acquired.

Assigning individual detainees to a work detail or job on a regular or permanent basis.

Establishing vocational training projects and encouraging detainees to study and develop needed skills to the maximum extent possible.

LABOR CONSIDERATIONS

J-68.

Detainee labor may be used to perform the following:

Camp administration and installation maintenance.

Agricultural work.

Public works, public utilities, and building operations that have no military character or purpose.

Transportation and handling of stores that are not military in nature or purpose.

Domestic service

Stop! The following may contain images and messages which are troublesome to those who suffer from cognitive dissonance and corporate media group think. What lies below is more proof that it will be foreign troops killing American citizens, not American soldiers who cannot be counted on to violate their oath to the Constitution. Appendix N Foreign Confinement Officer Training Program Training U.S. Trainers N-43. Soldiers and Marines who are assigned training missions receive a course of preparation to deal with the specific requirements of developing the target HN confinement officers (i.e. foreign detention officers). The course should emphasize the cultural background of the HN, introduce its language (to include specific confinement-related terms and phrases) and provide insights into cultural tips for developing a good rapport with HN personnel. It is amazing that some still continue to deny the presence of foreign troops on American soil. It is clear that UWEX 16 will, in part, include slave labor as part of the forced incarceration of what presumably will be millions of Americans. Further, Executive Order 13603, also calls for slave labor in the camps. Let remind the reader that Jade Helm 15 was primarily about dissident extraction and incarceration, hence the use of special forces as opposed to conventional forces. UWEX 16 is about (1) dissident extraction (2) the quelling of any domestic civil unrest and (3) the obliteration of any American military unit that is not on board and opposes the subjugation of millions of American citizens. What Does It All Mean? The establishment of the GOP would rather destroy their own party than give sqmetalsup the gravy train brought to them through the free trade agreements. If it appears that Trump will be the next President, the plug will undoubtedly be pulled. The GOP leadership will be damned if they are going to give up their strangle hold on this country. They will not only ruin the Republican Party, they will collapse the country. I think a massive false flag upon the Republican Convention remains a real possibility. This would leave the GOP in a mess and from two scenarios emerge as distinct possibilities: Obama will declare martial law and never leave office and there will be no November election. Hillary Clinton will be championed by the media as a unifying force and she will assume control of the Presidency. On even a more disturbing note, these events are not confined to Texas and this will be concerned with events unfolding across the country in several locations. This is currently under investigation.

Anti-Trump Groups Threaten ‘Largest Civil Disobedience Action of the Century’

by Aaron Klein16 Mar 201622,143

With little fanfare and almost no news media attention, some of the same radical groups involved in shutting down Donald Trump’s Chicago rally last week are plotting a mass civil disobedience movement to begin next month. They intend to march across the East Coast in order to spark a “fire that transforms the political climate in America.” The operation, calling itself Democracy Spring, is threatening “drama in Washington” with the “largest civil disobedience action of the century.” The radicals believe this will result in the arrest of thousands of their own activists. “We will demand that Congress listen to the People and take immediate action to save our democracy. And we won’t leave until they door until they send thousands of us to jail,” the website for Democracy Spring declares, channeling rhetoric from the Occupy movement. The group is backed by numerous organizations, including the George Soros-funded groups MoveOn.org, the Institute for Policy Studies, and Demos. The pro-Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) 16% MoveOn.org has been playing a prominent role in organizing anti-Trump activism, including last weekend’s shutdown of the billionaire’s rally at the University of Illinois at Chicago Pavilion. Another group endorsing Democracy Spring is the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). The DSA’s Chicago branch drove protesters to last weekend’s nixed Chicago Trump event, as this reporter exposed. The AFL-CIO, the nation’s largest labor federation, announced in a press release earlier this month it is “all in behind Democracy Spring,” perhaps indicating significant mobilization. Next month’s Democracy Spring chaos is set to begin with a meetup on April 2 at the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. “Then, in the spirit of Granny D, the Selma to Montgomery marchers, Cesar Chavez and the farmworker pilgrimage, and others who walked for freedom, we will set out on a 10 day, 140-mile march from Philadelphia to the Nation’s Capitol,” states the website. In Washington DC, Democracy Spring expects “thousands of Americans” to engage in a “sit-in on the Capitol building in Washington DC in what will be the largest civil disobedience action of the century.” What do the radicals claim to want? Despite the fact that many of the main groups endorsing Democracy Spring are funded by billionaire Soros, the group complains that “American elections are dominated by billionaires and big money interests who can spend unlimited sums of money on political campaigns to protect their special interests at the general expense.” But if the status quo goes unchallenged, the 2016 election — already set to be the most billionaire-dominated, secret money-drenched, voter suppression-marred contest in modern American history — will likely yield a President and a Congress more bound to the masters of big money than ever before. The stage is set for a bold intervention to turn the tinder of passive public frustration into a fire that transforms the political climate in America, that sparks a popular movement that can’t be stopped. The group continues: We will demand that Congress listen to the People and take immediate action to save our democracy. And we won’t leave until they do — or until they send thousands of us to jail, along with the unmistakable message that our country needs a new Congress, one that that will end the legalized corruption of our democracy and ensure that every American has an equal voice in government. The leaders of the group have already held training sessions, the website says. Democracy Spring states it is requiring “mandatory nonviolent civil disobedience trainings twice a day for those risking arrest from April 11th-16th.” For those arrested, the group says it has already secured the legal aid of an unnamed lawyer “with decades of experience with civil disobedience cases.” “He is leading a team of pro-bono lawyers who will provide legal counsel and representation for all participants who risk arrest as part of this campaign,” the website continues. Democracy Spring is threatening “drama in Washington” that cannot be ignored: “With hundreds of patriotic Americans being sent to jail, day after day for at least a week — simply for sitting in to save our democracy — the drama in Washington will rock the business-as-usual cycle of this election and catapult this critical issue on to center stage.” The group says that it is not plotting violence. The website posts the following rules for those engaging in civil disobedience: We will use no violence, verbal or physical, toward any person. We will maintain an attitude of openness and respect toward all we encounter in our actions. We will not destroy or damage any property. We will carry no weapons or any means of physical defense, including shields. We will not wear masks or otherwise conceal our faces or identities. We will exercise personal and collective responsibility to ensure that all participants adhere to this agreement. Despite the involvement of groups active in opposing Trump, Democracy Spring’s website does not mention Trump by name. In December, Kai Newkirk, campaign director of Democracy Spring, interrupted Trump at a CNN-hosted GOP debate, saying, “The American people deserve free and fair elections, not billionaire auctions.” It remains to be seen how many people will actually turn up for Democracy Spring’s planned revolution. So far, the group only has 1,653 Twitter followers, while their Facebook page boasts 4,778 followers. The group sent out three Facebook invitations for next month’s events, garnering only 57 guests for Sit-In Day 1, 11 guests for Day 2, and 5 guests for Day 3. With research by Brenda J. Elliott.

Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards Spotted at White House After Merrick Garland Nomination

National Steven Ertelt Mar 16, 2016 | 1:12PM Washington, DC

After President Barack Obama’s nomination of liberal appeals court judge Merrick Garland to replace pro-life Justice Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court, the CEO of the Planned Parenthood abortion business was spotted entering the White House. The picture prompts speculation as to what kind of help Planned Parenthood will give the Obama administration in attempting to get another abortion-supporting judge on the nation’s highest court. A reporter or Politico took a photo of Richards entering the West Wing. Richards is on the right side of the picture in short blonde hair walking along with someone who is presumably another Planned Parenthood official. SIGN THE PETITION: Do Not Allow a Vote on Merrick Garland

NRA: Garland Confirmation Will Lead To Gun Confiscation

The National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action warns that confirming DC Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court would likely lead to a nationwide gun confiscation via judicial fiat. According to the NRA-ILA, Garland played a key role in several decisions intended to restrict gun rights to American citizens. In 2007, Garland voted to allow Washington D.C. a second chance to allow its handgun ban to be upheld after a three-judge panel struck it down. Three years earlier he voted against rehearing a Second Amendment case, Seegers v. Gonzales, where the plaintiff challenged the city’s firearm ban. Additionally, in 2000, Garland voted in favor of the federal government’s proposal to keep Americans’ private information via gun purchase background checks despite federal laws banning national firearm registration and mandating the destruction of these records. The NRA-ILA says that, “If Garland is confirmed, Obama would be taking America back in time to an era where Supreme Court justices uphold the anti-gun policies of the president. Obama is hoping Garland will overturn the Supreme Court precedent that stands in the way of confiscatory gun control, like the gun ban and confiscation programs implemented in Australia.” Australia launched a nationwide gun confiscation program of its private citizens after a gunman killed 35 people in 1996. The Australian government bought 650,000 guns, including semiautomatic and automatic rifles and shotguns, in a mandatory buyback program. The NRA-ILA’s executive director Chris Cox released a statement Wednesday on the Garland nomination saying: “With Justice Scalia’s tragic passing, there is no longer a majority of support among the justices for the fundamental, individual right to own a firearm for self-defense. Four justices believe law-abiding Americans have that right – and four justices do not. President Obama has nothing but contempt for the Second Amendment and law-abiding gun owners.” “Obama has already nominated two Supreme Court justices who oppose the right to own firearms and there is absolutely no reason to think he has changed his approach this time. In fact, a basic analysis of Merrick Garland’s judicial record shows that he does not respect our fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms for self-defense. Therefore, the National Rifle Association, on behalf of our five million members and tens of millions of supporters across the country, strongly opposes the nomination of Merrick Garland for the U.S. Supreme Court.”

Companies Want To Replicate Your Dead Loved Ones With Robot Clones

Written By: Natalie O'Neill March 16, 2016

TN Note: If the thought of having taxidermy done to your dead pet creeps you out, how about a life-like, talking replica of Aunt Jane? Transhumanism is sneaking up on society, yet few recognize it for what it is. The quest for immortality is a primal desire of mankind, and science has tricked many into thinking that it can actually be achieved. In 2003, the wife of a 55-year-old Vietnamese carpenter named Le Van died. Heartbroken, he dug up her grave, cast her body in clay and slept next to “her” for five years. The story is unsettling, but there’s also something universal about his struggle to let go. Many grieving people feel an emotional connection to things that represent dead loved ones, such as headstones, urns and shrines, according to grief counselors. In the future, people may take that phenomenon to stunning new heights: Artificial intelligence experts predict that humans will replace dead relatives with synthetic robot clones, complete with a digital copy of that person’s brain. “It’s like when people stuff a pet cat or dog. We don’t stuff humans but this is a way of ‘stuffing’ their information, their personality and mannerisms,” said Bruce Duncan, managing director of Terasem Movement, a research foundation that aims to “transfer human consciousness to computers and robots.” The firm has already created thousands of highly detailed “mind clones” to log the memories, values and attitudes of specific people. Using the data, scientists created one of the world’s most socially advanced robots, a replica of Terasem Movement founder Martine Rothblatt’s wife, called Bina48, which sells for roughly $150,000. Rothblatt, who is also transgender and the highest paid female CEO in America, spearheaded the project to create a digital replica the human brain. She used her wife, Bina Aspen, as an early prototype, installing the real Bina’s “mind file” into a physical robot designed to look like her. Made of a skin-like rubber, Bina48 was created using more than 100 hours of audio data recorded by the human Bina about her memories and beliefs. Like the real Bina, the robot “loves” flowers, has mocha-colored skin and a self-deprecating sense of humor. She makes facial expressions, greets people and has conversations (including some awkward ones), made possible with facial and voice recognition software, motion tracking, and internet connectivity. Bina48 still has some social glitches, but she’s a working proof of concept—the firm’s almost-charming poster girl for the techno-immortality movement. She’s example of how, in the future, the wall between biological and digital worlds may come crashing down, Duncan said. “The definition of ‘alive’ may even evolve to mean, ‘as long as your essential personal information continues to be organized and accessible,” he said. A more advanced version of robots like Bina48 could hit the market within 10 or 20 years for roughly $25,000 to $30,000 for variety of uses, including replicating dead loved ones, Duncan predicted. “It will seem new because the technology will be new. But the desire to keep in contact with someone after he or she passes away isn’t new,” he said. “Anthropologically, we’ve been projecting personhood onto inanimate objects for hundreds of years.”

Not science fiction: ‘Cyborg’ bionic heart patch combining living tissue and engineered materials unveiled in Israel

By Thomas Lifson March 16, 2016

If Iran does not succeed in its goal of wiping Israel off the map, the world may be able to benefit from the stunning technological advances being unveiled by scientists there on a regular basis. The latest advance is nothing less than revolutionary. The Times of Israel reports: Tel Aviv University unveiled a remote-controlled, bionic heart patch, which researchers say could become a revolutionary alternative to heart transplants for patients whose hearts have been damaged by heart attacks or cardiac disease. The patch expands and contracts like a human heart, but regulates itself like a machine and can be paced and programmed to release drugs from afar. “It’s very science fiction, but it’s already here, and we expect it to move cardiac research forward in a big way,” said Prof. Tal Dvir, who pioneered the invention with PhD student Ron Feiner. “Until now, we could only engineer organic cardiac tissue, with mixed results. Now we have produced viable bionic tissue, which ensures that the heart tissue will function properly,” he said in a statement issued Monday by American Friends of Tel Aviv University. The Cyborg Cardiac Patch, details of which have been published in the journal Nature Materials, combines real, living cardiac cells able to expand and contract with engineered tissue packed with nano-electronics that can sense what is happening in the patch, provide electrical stimulation and — via electro-active polymers — release growth stimulants or drugs and harness stem cells. “Imagine that a patient is just sitting at home, not feeling well,” Dvir said. “His physician will be able to log onto his computer and this patient’s file — in real time. He can view data sent remotely from sensors embedded in the engineered tissue and assess exactly how his patient is doing. He can intervene to properly pace the heart and activate drugs to regenerate tissue from afar. I hope that all members of the BDS movement will refrain from seeking treatment with any medical advances created in Israel. Of course, the Iranian mullahs, and the part of the worldwide Muslim public which seeks Israel’s destruction, fantasize that the parts of the sixth-century world under Mohammed’s direct rule were the ideal state of humanity, so they would not be interested in any modern technologies produced almost exclusively by infidels. On the other hand, if a Saudi king needs heart surgery... Hat tip: Stephen Bryen and Clarice Feldman

TV: Radiation in ocean off Fukushima at highest levels in years — Out of control leakage coming from plant — ‘Big spikes’ in radioactivity observed — “Surprising… Concerning… Crisis” — 1,000s of tons of contaminated liquid being released — Scientists: Japan gov’t covering up situation (AUDIO)

Published: March 16th, 2016 at 6:29 pm ET By ENENews

KGW (NBC channel in Portland, OR), Mar 7, 2016 (emphasis added): Crisis continues 5 years after Fukushima — Radiation in the Pacific Ocean near Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant is at levels as high, or higher, than has been measured in the past three years, as the crippled plant continues to bleed contamination into the sea, new results from a Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution research cruise show. “We think it’s related to the ongoing leaks,” said Ken Buesseler, a Woods Hole chemical oceanographer… “It’s a little surprising and contrary to claims they’ve stopped all flow. So we’re not out of the woods yet.”… Unlike Chernobyl, however, this crisis played out slowly, and continues today, on both sides of the Pacific… In October 2015, Buesseler’s team took new samples from as close as a half-mile away from the nuclear power plant. Levels there remain elevated, he said, confirming continued releases from the plant… “The fact that it’s still leaking is always of concern.” Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Mar 7, 2016: Fukushima Site Still Leaking After Five Years, Research Shows… Buesseler [sampled off Fukushima] in October 2015… his analysis of cesium and strontium indicate releases from the plant are not yet “under control,” a statement that has been used by the Japanese government to describe the situation… [C]esium levels have remained relatively constant… “we are not seeing the steady decrease we would expect to see off Fukushima if all sources had stopped; rather, we are finding values are still elevated, which confirms that there is continued release from the plant.”… The highest level of cesium Buesseler’s team found in a sample taken off Japan in October 2015 measured 200 Becquerels per cubic meter… Strontium, too, is not falling as expected… [Scientists] have found that strontium is not decreasing as fast as cesium. Whereas there was approximately 40 times more cesium than strontium in the waters off Japan in 2011, by 2013, there was approximately 10 times more cesium than strontium The concern lies in the thousands of tons of strontium still stored in tanks at the nuclear power plant and accumulated in buildings and soils, some of it still leaking into the ocean. Scientific American, Mar 8, 2016: Crippled Fukushima Reactors Are Still a Danger… [M]ajor questions still loom today… [S]ome scientists are complaining that important questions about the disaster’s impact are not being addressed. Authorities, they suspect, are subtly discouraging certain kinds of scientific research, possibly because they fear findings that could further alarm the public… This February, the company reported a spike in strontium levels at the plant site… Remarkably, research on Fukushima’s impact on the marine ecosystem is even more scarce [than on land]—even though the disaster represented the single largest pulse of radioactivity ever injected into an ocean… [T]he cesium concentration… many kilometers off Fukushima remains well above pre-accident levels… Another concern is radioactive strontium. Scientists say levels in seawater near the plant are not declining, possibly because of recurrent leaks from the on-site tanks. “You could actually see in the ocean when one of these tanks would leak—you’d get a big spike in Strontium-90,” Buesseler notes… Indeed, unanswered questions abound… The Japanese government seems to be cutting off funds for monitoring radionuclides in water alongside Fukushima, Buesseler says… [A]nother Japanese scientist, who asked not to be named, claimed that whereas grants are readily available for researchers whose projects are unlikely to discover significant impacts from the disaster, they are exceedingly scarce for others… Buesseler reports [an] experience [when Japanese scientists who aided in research asked not to be credited in its published papers, fearing adverse impacts on their careers]… CapeCod.com, Mar 8, 2016: Buesseler says that releases of radioactive cesium from the plant are still not under control…”we are finding values are still elevated, which confirms that there is continued release from the plant.” NY Times, Mar 10, 2016: Fukushima has become a place… where they struggle to control radiation-contaminated water and must release it into the sea… [T]he plant also releases 2,000 tons of the water into the ocean every week after a process that removes most, but not all, of the radioactive particles… it is a public-relations nightmare for the government… Broadcasts: PRI | KPBS

21st Century Church - Asleep At The Wheel - Troy Anderson

March 16, 2016 Submitted to All News PipeLine by A Minute To Midnite

Episode 029 of A Minute To Midnite sees the return of Troy Anderson. Troy, along with co-author Paul McGuire recently published a Book call the Babylon Code. In this show Tony and Troy delve into the possibility of whether or not America could be The Mystery Babylon spoken of in the Book Of Revelation. One of the main focuses in this show is the role of the Church in the run-up to what are potentially End Time Events of catastrophic proportions. It begs the question: Why is the church so silent on subjects like the Return Of Jesus Christ. Why is the Book Of Revelation largely ignored? Could it be that the church is asleep at the wheel in the 21st century? Is it possible that America could be destroyed in one hour, as the Late David Wilkerson predicted? Is everything controlled by secret societies hell-bent on destruction of the nation? Is there hope for the church? Is there hope for America? If so, where is that hope found? Find out why Troy believes there is hope, and where that hope lies! Troy begins by talking about a film that he and Paul McGuire are working towards making, that deals with uncovering Mystery Babylon. It sounds like a very interesting and exciting project. Tony then asks Troy where he thinks America fits into the Babylonian system. Troy's answer is very interesting. Many people have wondered why America is not mentioned in the bible. Much of the teaching on bible prophecy in recent years has spoken of America disappearing from prominence before the Great Tribulation occurs. Troy goes on to outline why this is not necessarily so, and out lays out a case for an alternative view on prophecy that may show America is in fact mentioned in the bible. The conversation turns to global events and deals with subjects like climate change, Agenda 2030, geo-engineering. Tony brings up the fact there are calls to prosecute climate change deniers, and argues that this is a step towards totalitarian government where free speech on this subject is outlawed if it doesn't fit the "States" picture and position. About 16 minutes into the interview the conversation turns to the church. Is the church asleep at the wheel? Why are churches silent on what is happening in the world as End Time Events are unfolding? Much of the rest of the interview deals with discussion on how sleeping Christians need to be awakened. Tony and Troy talk about David Wilkerson's books "The Vision" and "Set The Trumpet To Thy Mouth", and discuss how Wilkerson warned that American cities like New York would be destroyed in "One Hour". David Wilkerson's death shocked many people people a few years ago. He fell asleep at the wheel while driving his car and was killed in the ensuing accident. Troy explains how even his death was prophetic. The interview ends with message of hope. It's not all doom and gloom for Christians however. Great End Time awakening is also ahead for many. Hope in Jesus will certainly sustain us who believe, and God will move mightily on our behalf.

Very large fireball observed over London, UK

Posted by Adonai on March 17, 2016

A very large fireball was observed over London, UK at 03:16 UTC on March 17, 2016. The event was recorded by UKMON's Church Crookham station, northeast Hampshire, England. According to the UKMON, the fireball momentarily overloaded the camera with light. "Preliminary calculations estimate the brightens to be around -7 mag and explosion -14 mag. The event lasted just a couple of seconds," UKMON wrote on their website. "With the second video we will be able to triangulate and calculate the orbit," they added. According to reports submitted to the UKMON/International Meteor Organization, the event was primarily seen from England, but witnesses from France and the Netherlands also reported the event. There was no sound associated, but fragmentation was observed by at least one person. Fireball reports submitted to the Armagh Observatory mention bright blue/pale green fireball moving left to right, visible for approximately 3 to 6 seconds and apparently in the process of breaking up. UKMON's Richard Kacerek told the BBC it was the biggest sighting they have recorded. "It lasted for a few seconds. It was seen for hundreds of miles. We have received a number of emails." If you witnessed this event please fill an official fireball report. Fireball season underway Few weeks around the March equinox is a time of the year when bright meteors appear in greater number than usual, by as much as 30%. "This could be," Robert Lunsford of the American Meteor Society explained, "due to the fact the Antapex radiant lies highest above the horizon this time of year during the evening hours." Antiapex, or antapex, meteors are produced by material orbiting the Sun in a retrograde direction that encounter Earth on the inbound or preperihelion portion of its orbit. These meteors are most likely produced by the long-period comets. This is not a true shower but an artificial radiant created by Earth's motion through space. Studies have shown that during the period from mid-February through mid-April, when the antapex radiant lies highest in the sky, fireball rates peak as seen from the northern hemisphere.1 Reference: 1 "Meteors and how to observe them" - Robert Lunsford - Springer Science & Business Media, February 19, 2009 - DOI: 10.107/978-0-387-09461-8

15 Dirty Tricks The GOP Establishment Can Use to Stop Donald Trump
by Doug Wead | 5:41 pm, March 13th, 2016
Doug Wead is a presidential historian who served as senior advisor to the Ron Paul presidential campaign in 2012.
Warning to the Trumpets. It ain’t over. It is just beginning.
Below are a list of tactics that Establishment Republicans may use to block the nomination of Donald Trump.  Yes, I know. If they succeed they will not win the White House but many in the establishment will make just as much money under a Democrat insider as they will with a Republican insider. So they may not care. All they may want to do is send the message to any future “outsider” candidate, “This is our party and you need our approval to participate. If you try to do this without us we will destroy you.” These tactics were used in 2012 to keep Libertarian insurgents from winning delegates to the Republican National Convention. The fear was that Ron Paul would be able to place his name in nomination and give a speech about capital cronyism and how big corporations use the system to corrupt free enterprise. Donald Trump can learn from our experience. What was at stake in 2012? Money. What’s at stake now? Money. But why will low level party stalwarts who don’t get that money play along and do the bidding of the big party leaders? To keep their positions as State, County or Precinct Chairmen. Power. Ego. Prestige. They want that all expenses paid trip to the Republican National Convention. Booze. Free corporate gifts. A box of Godiva chocolates left on their pillow in their room each night. They know that candidates like Trump come and go but the party infrastructure, financed by companies and their lobbyists, remain forever. Here’s what the new Trump supporters can expect. (Carefully follow the links to stories below to see the actual videos and read the details of how these things happened in 2012.)
#1) Cruz, Rubio, Kasich and Romney will cooperate with each other to help block Trump outsiders at key County and State conventions. There is nothing wrong with this. Just don’t be taken by surprise. You may have most of the delegates at the local event and still lose to this combination. Make your own deals with Chairmen and other party officials before its too late.
#2) The RNC Rules Committee will likely change the rules back to a five state requirement needed to put a name in nomination at the Convention. This will make it easier to nominate Rubio, Cruz, Kasich and even Romney. Trump operatives should block this change and keep it at eight, which was originally designed to protect Romney, the expected incumbent.
#3) Make sure that you have your own people chosen as delegates to the convention. The insiders will fight you to the death over this, saying that it doesn’t matter, that you won the primary or the caucus and so the actual delegates are bound by law to vote for you anyway. (Not true.) They will say that the governor and the senator and the old former chairman, who has been to every RNC since Eisenhower, should be able to represent their state. Be courteous  and reasonable but you also need large numbers of your own reliable Trump supporters chosen as delegates. Keep in mind, the only rules that bind the delegates are the rules of the party and those very delegates can change those rules. What if there is a media hyped Trump scandal and the party votes to “unbind” the delegates on the first ballot?  Then they can vote for whomever they wish. What if Trump does not win on the first ballot and there is a second ballot? They will then vote their real choice and you will have lost all of those states you thought you had won in primaries.
#4) The place of the caucus that selects the actual delegates who go to the district or state convention may suddenly change without your knowledge. Linked by a telephone chain the insiders will meet without you. Your folks will show up at one hotel and the meeting will take place at another.
#5) The time of the meeting may suddenly change. Your people can show up and find that the building is locked and authorities will say you are too late to be allowed in to participate. This happened many times in 2012, with hundreds of screaming voters left outside.
#6) The chairman may say “Ayes have it,” even if they don’t. This happens at the precinct, county, district, state and even national level. What are you going to do about it? Sue? Meanwhile, their winning precinct delegation will go onto the State Convention as delegates representing your opponent.
You may appeal to the RNC for justice and they may support the cheaters because you don’t have enough of your own people as delegates serving on the Rules Committee.
#7) Off duty police may arrest and detain your newly elected Donald Trump GOP officers. Yep, that happened to us. Your people may be kept for hours in jail cells and those who protest may be arrested as well.
#8) Precinct, County, State leaders may charge a last minute tax. This may have happened in 2012 in Alaska. Voters who had not been tipped off reportedly could not vote without paying $10. Credit cards not accepted. This worked so well at excluding voters in Alaska that Romney operatives used it in King County, Washington. They also turned away young people who did not appear on their outdated voter registration lists.
#9) If the Caucus Chairman is replaced or does not like the outcome of the vote they may suddenly declare the process invalid. For example, they may say that the new chairman is a Trump partisan and thus it is now a Trump event and the GOP insurance for the event is invalid and thus the meeting is ended. See the video above.
#10) State Conventions will prepare ballots misspelling Trump and then later discount them in the voting for those pledged delegates.
#11) Fake ballots will be distributed listing establishment names as the official Trump delegates, confusing the voters. They may also try to split the Trump slate by nominating competing Trump delegates with real names of public figures.
#12) Counting the ballots at the various conventions will be an exhausting business with delays, postponements until the next day, seals broken on the voting boxes, and all kinds of chicanery.
#13) They may cancel the voting due to weather in a key precinct that is heavily Trump, throwing the State. Even though the weather turns out to be fine in the given precinct.
#14) At convention you may find hotel rooms cancelled.They may arrange for the bus bringing your delegates to the Rules Committee to get lost and changes to convention rules may happen in your absence.
#15) When you leave the RNC don’t think it’s over. A Ron Paul delegate was detained by TSA at the airport leaving Tampa when bullets were found in their packed luggage. The idea is to make you so sick, so weary, so beaten down that you will never, ever, even dare challenge the establishment that runs the Republican Party again. Ever. Here is the message. It doesn’t belong to you. As in the case of the Democratic Party, it belongs to the insiders, the rich and powerful who make money from a rigged economy that favors a few at the expense of the many. Donald Trump is too independent and too unpredictable for them. You have been warned. Good luck.

US in crisis? Chiefs admit they are UNPREPARED for super-war against Russia or North Korea

US MILITARY chiefs have warned they harbour “grave concerns” over the country’s ability to fight a war against a global superpower such as Russia.

By Jake Burman PUBLISHED: 03:41, Thu, Mar 17, 2016 | UPDATED: 04:06, Thu, Mar 17, 2016

Officials admitted to a congressional hearing that they are worried about a lack of resources and training for troops – which they say would hinder America’s chances in a global super-war. The US Army’s Chief of Staff General Mark Milley told an armed services committee hearing that he had deep concerns about the military’s readiness if America was to fight a "great power war" with China, Russia, Iran or North Korea. General Milley said the army “is not at the levels that can execute satisfactorily… in terms of time, cost in terms of casualties or cost in terms of military objectives.” Air Force Secretary Deborah James – who was also speaking at the hearing – said half of her combat forces were not "sufficiently ready" for fighting against a country like Russia. She said: “Money is helpful for readiness but freeing up the time of our people to go and do this training is equally important.” Earlier this month Air Force officials admitted they were facing a shortage of more than 500 fighter pilots – a gap expected to increase to more than 800 by 2022. US military spending has rocketed since the 9/11 attacks and the country has by far the largest military budget in the world. The army requested $148billion in the 2017 budget, a slight increase from the $146.9billion Army budget for 2016. However, the budget would continue to shrink the size of the US Army, which will drop to 460,000 active duty soldiers in 2017 from the current 475,000. Concern over a more assertive Russia was highlighted earlier this month by Air Force General Philip Breedlove, who branded Russia a "long-term existential threat to the United States”.

John Kerry's ISIS Genocide Designation

03-17-2016 Gary Lane

The debate is finally over. Is ISIS committing genocide against Christians, Yazidis and other religious and ethnic minorities in the Middle East? The U.S. Secretary of State says yes. Kerry's announcement follows similar declarations already made by the European Union and the U.S. Congress. It is significant because the designation puts pressure on the United States to take action. Genocide is defined as "an act committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group." The United Nation's 1948 Convention on Genocide states that genocide is a crime under international law which signatories undertake "to prevent and punish." It does not require nations to take action, it only states that the following acts SHALL be punishable: (a) Genocide (b) Conspiracy to commit genocide (c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide; (d) Attempt to commit genocide (e) Complicity in genocide So, what now? The leaders of ISIS and their jihadists traveling back to Europe, or any country may be apprehended, charged before an international tribunal and if found guilty, they "shall" be punished. And is it really genocide that is happening against the Christians, or ethnic cleansing? Does it really matter what we call it? The bottom line is ancient religious communities and their cultures are being exterminated in the Middle East. They are in urgent need of our protection. What does the designation mean and what now? Watch as it is explained in one minute: Former GOP presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson and others have suggested safe zones be established in Syria and Iraq to protect Christians and Yazidis from the Islamic State and other militant groups. Kerry's genocide designation may now force the U.S. and other nations to do something. It is a positive development. Unfortunately, it took months for U.S. government leaders to arrive at this conclusion. How many more Yazidis and Christians died as they awaited this genocide designation? And how many more will die as they await the genocide designation to become more than just words on paper?

Plane crashes in Russia, all 62 people on board killed

MOSCOW/DUBAI | By Lidia Kelly and William Maclean

All 62 people aboard a passenger jet flying from Dubai to southern Russia were killed when their plane crashed on its second attempt to land at Rostov-on-Don airport on Saturday, Russian officials said. Russia's emergencies ministry said the aircraft, a Boeing 737-800 operated by Dubai-based budget carrier Flydubai, crashed at 0340 (0040 GMT). Most of those on board were Russian. "The aircraft hit the ground and broke into pieces," the Investigative Committee of Russia said in a statement on its website. "There were 55 passengers aboard and seven crew members. They all died." Both of the plane's flight recorders have been recovered undamaged, the committee said in a statement. According to the independent U.S.-based Flight Safety Foundation, there was strong wind at the airport with a speed of 43 kilometres per hour, with gusts up to 69 kilometres, but visibility was reasonable. "Different versions of what happened are being looked into, including crew error, a technical failure and bad weather conditions," the committee said. It said the plane was in a mid-air holding pattern for more than two hours. The crash occurred more than two hours after the plane, flight number FZ981, was scheduled to land. Russia's Interfax news agency cited a source in the emergency services as saying the pilot changed his mind about landing on the approach to the airport. "For an unknown reason, several minutes before the landing, the pilot reconsidered and decided to make another circuit, but wasn't able to," Interfax quoted the source as saying. Flydubai's CEO Ghaith al-Ghaith told a news conference in the Gulf Arab emirate that it was "too early" to determine the cause of the crash. "We will have information about the circumstances of the incident and the black box in the future, and an investigation is being conducted in cooperation with the Russian authorities and we are waiting to see the results," Ghaith said.

Israeli Soldiers Kill Palestinian

VOA News March 19, 2016 7:30 AM

The Israeli military says its forces have shot and killed a Palestinian who attempted to attack Israeli soldiers on the occupied West Bank. The military says the assailant attacked the soldiers with a knife at Gush Etzion junction, the location of several recent attacks on the Israeli military by Palestinians. The incident is the latest in a wave of violence since October that has killed at least 188 Palestinians, 28 Israelis, and two U.S. citizens. Israel has accused Palestinian leaders of inciting young people to riot. Palestinians deny this and say they are fed up with what they call Israeli oppression, little economic opportunity, and a dim outlook for peace.

Istanbul shopping area hit by suicide bomber

2 hours ago

A suicide bomb attack at a busy shopping area in the Turkish city of Istanbul has killed at least four people, officials say. Three Israelis and an Iranian died, Turkish media reports. Another 36 people were injured in the blast near a government building on Istiklal Street. No-one has admitted carrying out the attack, the latest in recent months. The Turkish government has blamed Kurdish militants for previous attacks and has retaliated against them. Saturday's attack in Istanbul, Turkey's largest city, occurred at about 11:00 local time (09:00 GMT). Uwes Shehadeh was some 500m (1,640ft) away when he heard "a horrific and horrible noise". "People didn't know what was going on. It was very chaotic. Everyone was screaming and running away," he told the BBC. "Istanbul is on high alert and people are very worried as to what will happen next." Eleven Israelis were among the injured. Two Irish citizens, one national each from Germany, Iceland, Dubai and Iran were also wounded.

Does God Have His Hand On the Trump Miracle?

We are witnessing a seeming miracle in America with the rise of Donald Trump’s movement which is exposing the extreme exploitation of the middle class and the ongoing attempt to make America go extinct. On the way to America’s Armageddon, someone through a monkey wrench into the political fracas and America started paying attention, in big, very big numbers. And that monkey wrench is named Donald Trump. The Trump phenomenon is beginning to spread across the planet. Did you see that 3.5 million protesters are taking to the streets in Brazil? The Rising Consciousness of the Oppressed Is No Surprise to Social Psychologists As I have pointed out before, it is a well-established fact that when 10% of the people take hold of an idea, the idea spreads like wildfire. Scientists from the prestigious Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have determined that if just 10% of any given population holds to an unshakable idea, that the idea will become adopted by the majority of the country. However, the scientists who belong to the Social Cognitive Networks Academic Research Center (SCNARC) found that if the ideas are shared by less than 10% of the population, the idea will not progress and will eventually die out. The research was first published in a peer reviewed E Journal in an article entitled “Social consensus through the influence of committed minorities. ”The finding has dramatic implications for those of us trying to wake up the sheep in this country. The SNARC scientists found that the 10% figure was applicable whether they were talking about the spread of innovations or to advance an ideal. The Manifestations of SNARC The poll of New York state, conducted by Boston’s Emerson College, has Trump enjoying a commanding lead. Trump’s only two remaining competitors in New York, shows that Trump is no longer a plurality but an overwhelming majority with 65% backing the beleaguered Republican candidate. Interestingly, the poll was conducted, March 14- March 16, BEFORE Rubio dropped out. Rubio’s continued candidacy would have clearly served to dilute Trump’s majority and this serves to make Trump’s numbers even more impressive. What is impressive about these numbers is that they following the elite’s $400 million dollars of dirt ads designed to discredit Trump. During this period, the entire leadership of the GOP has turned on Trump, yet his numbers continue to climb beyond all reason. This is due to the fact that Trump has smashed through the 10% figure and his movement, not his campaign, has taken on a life of its own as his movement is reaching tsunami proportions. This social psychological phenomenon is negating all negative politics. The yellow journalism of Fox, the contrived riots and all the lies are a waste of time. They are only serving to increase Trump’s popularity due to all the attention that is being given to the man and his message. Given my academic background, I understand the psychology at work, I am awestruck at the implications. The manifestations of the elite’s frustration is made very clear in the following video. Trump vs. the World Even globalist, Newt Gingrich, has called Trump a “natural ally of conservatism“. All purveyors of power are lining up against Trump. Is he made of Teflon, or is this a case of divine intervention? Look at the following two videos and you decide. Three Ways to Stop Donald Trump Conventional wisdom would suggest that there are three ways to stop Donald Trump: Sponsor a brokered convention where the nomination is stolen from Trump. Assassinate Trump. Bankrupt the country and start World War III. Either way, which ever side side prevails, there will be a very violent push back from the other side, particularly from the globalists. A Brokered Convention Means DC Establishment Retains Control of Free Trade and Illegal Immigration A brokered convention will be the main point of initial attack by the globalists. This is a warning that all Americans need to heed. The American people are caught in the middle of a “winner-take-all” high stake poker game. There is no middle ground. There will be no election results which could conceivable clean up the mess of the coming election if it goes the way of the globalists who desperately want to collapse the country in order to usher in a Satanic New World Order. How can I be so sure? Over the past week, The Common Sense Show and several other Independent Media outlets are scratching their heads in amazement as we watch the GOP leadership destroy the future of their party. Fox News with the extreme brand of Megyn Kelly’s yellow journalism is destroying the credibility of not only Fox News but of NewsCorp as a whole. What exactly have these entities done with regard to committing institutional suicide? The answer is so simply and so obvious, it should not bear repeating. The overriding two issues that have caught the eye of the American voter, and newly awakened millions of American who know they they have future so long as the status quo remains in place consist of the following: 1. The one-sided free trade agreements have unemployed millions of Americans and have brought untold misery, while the elite take advantage of cheap foreign labor and the “gift” to be able to ship their foreign produced products back into the country, duty free, while underselling and bankrupting even more American businesses. 2. The continued of a cultural debasement of the United States by continuing wholesale immigration which severely suppresses wages while “stealing” millions of jobs from Americans. There is a third issue that is beginning to rear its ugly head and that is the topic of corporate campaign donations. So long as we have corporate bribery of Congress, there will be no Republican form of democracy. Internationally, these strategies, through the implementation nation state central banks, have destroyed nations through back-breaking debt and have served to elevate the corporations above national interests. Does anyone really believe that the globalists are going to willingly give up the stranglehold that these bankster criminals have enjoyed for so long. The elite have two primary options which include to force a brokered convention while continuing to bash Trump in the media and instigate riots at Trump’s rallies. Conclusion As compelling as the social data is, there is much more at work here than the forces of man. This movement is resilient because of divine intervention. Your prayers are working America. In my lifetime, I have never witnessed a movement, operating against such severe odds, succeed with such vigor. I am coming to the opinion that God has his hand on this movement. Why do I believe that? Because there are too many people praying for Trump for this not to be a factor, perhaps the deciding factor. In the meantime, freedom lovers have a rare opportunity. The door is open and we need to seize this opportunity. What can you do? Pray, Pray, Pray and then act.

Beyond The Pale - Threatening The Lives Of Children - Was Hacktivist Group Anonymous Responsible For Threat Against The Grandchildren Of Donald Trump?

March 18, 2016 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

It was very disturbing this morning to awaken to the news that a threatening piece of mail, containing white powder, had been sent to Donald Trump's son, Eric, along with a handwritten note demanding GOP frontrunner drop out of the presidential race or next time the powder would be real. According to ABC News the note stated "If your father does not drop out of the race, the next envelope won't be a fake." It was signed "X." The letter was opened by Eric's wife Lara and according to multiple other reports the children of Eric Trump were directly threatened in the letter. The NYPD released the following statement: “At approximately 7:15 p.m., the NYPD responded to a residential building at 100 Central Park South to investigate a report of a suspicious letter received by a tenant. The letter has been removed and is being examined by law enforcement authorities. No injuries have been reported in connection with this incident.” CBS News reported that the letter warned that "harm will come to the kids" if Donald Trump doesn't drop out. A source close to the investigation said the letter had a Massachusetts postmark and warned that if Donald Trump doesn't withdraw from the race for the Republican presidential nomination -- paraphrasing -- harm will come to the kids. The Joint Terrorism Task Force is leading the investigation, but other agencies are participating such as the Secret Service, FBI, New York Police Department and Postal Inspection Service. (Wapo) This is beyond the pale. This comes just days after the hacktivist group Anonymous declared "total war" on Donald Trump, following up with what they allege is his personal details such as his Social Security number, phone numbers, his agent's address and phone numbers, coordinates to a location in Florida, his attorney's address and phone numbers and information on Trump's children. With the information being released on March 17, 2016, we have to ask if it is a coincidence that just a day later the threatening letter and white powder was mailed to Eric Trump? Via Anonymous: "We have attached a gift, of sorts: Trump's social security number, cellphone number and other details that may be able to assist you all in independently investigating this would-be dictator," says the computerised voice. "Do with them what you will - bearing in mind that you alone are responsible for your actions," the voice instructs. According to the ABC News article on the threat to Eric Trump and his family, the Secret Service they are investigating the postings made by Anonymous with Trump's personal information. "The U.S. Secret Service is aware of the internet postings of Candidate Donald Trump’s personal information. We are working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in this matter," a Secret Service spokesperson told ABC News

Trump Video From 25 Years Ago Will Shock You: “I’m Tired of Seeing This Country Ripped Off”

Mac Slavo March 18th, 2016

The Donald has completely taken over the news cycle. His path of victory after victory in GOP primary states has the establishment freaking out, and every major media outlet scrambling for a way to stop Trump, or at least to damage his reputation. But why is he being compared to Hitler and inducing aneurysms among the political elite? Obviously it isn’t the name-calling or fiery rhetoric that has the system’s minions losing sleep and openly-plotting his demise. No. It is for one basic reason: his rhetoric and campaign promises have centered around restoring American sovereignty. Economically, he has talked about undoing globalism and free trade, bringing back good American jobs, protecting the border (and yes, building the 10+ foot high wall) and saying no to a culture of exploiting illegal immigrant workers at the expense of American employment. Never mind if he can keep any of those promises, because just hyping them up has been enough to cause mass panic and hysteria in the corporate halls of Washington, Wall Street and the lapdog media. But what might surprise you, even shock you, is that he has been talking this way for decades. Just listen to what he told Oprah and her audience more than 25 years ago (circa 1987): “I’d make our allies pay their fair share” “I’m tired of seeing what’s happening with this country.” “I’m tired of seeing this country ripped off.” And there’s much more than that. The Daily Caller rounded up several examples of his consistent appeals for a “strong negotiator” on trade and foreign affairs. Promising to balance trade and fight for American workers is NOT what the prevailing elite – who are losing control of the political establishment – want to happen. Their plan, as voiced at exclusive think tanks and confabs like Davos, Bilderberg, the Council on Foreign Relations and many others, has been to level the prosperous American middle class and force workers in the United States to whittle their way down to complete serfdom – and absolute dependence upon government handouts and a meager place in the grand pecking order of world domination. Trump won’t be a savior, but things now are looking like they might bump him off just for even reminding the American people of how far things have fallen and little anyone else on the political stage has done to stop the free fall of the American Dream. To the contrary, most of the political tools on stage have been only too willing to play a hand in the destruction of this once strong and vibrant country in exchange for favors and kickbacks. 2016 is about one thing: how fed up and angry people are at the system which has operated on behalf of the interests of a handful of insiders and the expense of everyone else.

Powder-filled envelope sent to Trump son investigated by FBI, Secret Service, Post Office, NYPD

Published time: 19 Mar, 2016 04:04

Eric Trump, son of the Republican presidential front-runner, received a threatening letter containing a “granular” substance, and now a multi-agency investigation is underway, led by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force in New York and the Secret Service. While a preliminary field test found the suspicious white material to be harmless, how it was allowed to be sent to Eric Trump’s luxury Trump Parc East apartment just south of Central Park in New York City is part of the investigation, the Trump Organization told ABC News. The Postal Inspector and New York Police Department are assisting the FBI and Secret Service in their probe of the Thursday delivery. Lara Trump, Eric’s wife, was the one who reportedly opened the letter, postmarked from Boston, Massachusetts and dated March 5. A handwritten note inside read, "If your father does not drop out of the race, the next envelope won't be a fake," and was signed "X," according to the ABC News source. Eric Trump, 32, is one of Donald Trump’s five children. Two days before, Eric Trump went on Fox News and talked about security concerns at his father’s presidential campaign stops. Earlier in the week, a protester attempted to rush the stage, presumably to seize Donald Trump’s podium and microphone, prompting Secret Service agents to surround the candidate and whisk away the intruder. "That's the nature of politics,” Eric Trump said. “You're at these events where you have 30,000 people in a room, you might have one crazy person. I mean, that's just the nature of statistics, that's the nature of the game." At this early stage in the 2016 election process, the Secret Service only serves Donald Trump, not his family members.

Blacklisted: Drudge, Coulter, Hannity, Carson, Breitbart, O’Reilly, Christie Make GOP Smart Set’s List of ‘Ideological Hustlers’

by Patrick Howley18 Mar 20167768

Conservative movement professionals in Washington, D.C. are plotting to form a “blacklist” of Donald Trump supporters that they can kick out of the movement, never to return. Several conservative talking heads and Beltway consultant types have been very angry about the rise of businessman Trump, who is pushing for American sovereignty, a reversal of neoconservative foreign policy, and competitive bidding for pharmaceuticals even though the drug companies that fund the Republican Party would take a financial hit. So far, anti-Trump think pieces referencing William F. Buckley have been ineffective. Memes comparing Trump to Hitler haven’t worked. So these Republicans are getting more Nixon-y. They’re coming out with an Enemies List.

LUCIFER’S FATE: THE WARS OF THE LORDS OF THE AIR

It is truly unfortunate that most of the people in the United States have been so caught up in the political rivalry, they do not know that war campaigning has been going on behind the scenes. The election process has been a very effective distraction from the looming battles awaiting us. There has always been the ever present threat of world war and the technocrats have discussed how to fight new wars with new technologies in something called a complex threat environment. A complex threat environment is technocratic news speak for political paranoia and the ideology that a war footing and full spectrum control will be needed in order to combat terrorists, foreign adversaries, criminals and violent gangs, cyber attackers and threats from outer space. While foreign intelligence services continue traditional efforts to target political and military intelligence, counterintelligence threats now include efforts to obtain technologies that would be capable of mounting an attack on both the cyber space infrastructure and outer space dominance. The general public may not be aware of a secret space program that has launched advanced technologies and payloads into space for future use in war campaigns. In the new complex environment, a world war always is on the table and if it ever were to break out we can be absolutely certain that it would be significantly different. The relatively small-scale campaigns and the “boots on the ground “strategies that the United States has used in previous global conflicts will reduce in size. While nuclear weapons and a multitude of other technologies including robot soldiers would influence the nature of a third World War, should it ever take place. Military communications are now space-based, ensuring the first battle for the heavens to ever be witnessed on the planet Earth. Cyberwar would also unquestionably be a central part of this conflict. A United States government, military and public which are accustomed to being the unchallenged superpower on the face of the planet would have to change this perception, and deal with a new paradigm in which the US can no longer automatically rely on dominating its rivals technologically. There has been a lot of saber rattling again from North Korea. Last week, Kim Jong-un claimed his scientists had developed nuclear warheads small enough to fit on ballistic missiles. The claims were accompanied by pictures of the leader standing alongside what state media said was a miniaturized nuclear warhead. He even has gone on the record saying that North Korea has a mini hydrogen bomb. South Korea’s defense ministry was skeptical about the claim, saying it thought the North had “not yet secured miniaturized nuclear warheads” and that it believes the North “hasn’t acquired re-entry technology.” I had stated on a previous article not to underestimate North Korea in the midst of “experts” dismissing the claims of a hydrogen bomb because of the apparent yield of 10 kilotons or less. The bomb while apparently being low yield could have been “boosted” using added tritium. Tritium is a radioactive isotope that is also known as Hydrogen 3. Tritium when added to a nuclear bomb makes it more energetic by boosting the amount of fissile material which goes through the chain reaction. This creates a bigger explosion. It is still lower than thermonuclear-level explosion. So in essence and in a matter of speaking, the use of tritium would also be consistent with North Korea’s claim of using a hydrogen bomb. Word of the day: Prepare! And do it the old fashion way, like our fore-fathers did it and succeed long before us, because what lies ahead of us will require all the help we can get. Watch this video and learn the 3 skills that ensured our ancestors survival in hard times of famine and war. I know this explanation may sound like a stretch but traces of tritium, used in the H-Bomb, have been detected in some North Korean low-yield tests, consistent with the creation of a super EMP weapon. We speculated during the show Schrodinger’s bomb that a low yield nuke could be sent into space via satellite and then be detonated in space above a major city. This act would be one of the many “space war” demonstrations where what happens above us could be destructive down here on Earth. After their claims of mini nukes being created North Korea launched a satellite to orbit. The satellite passed over the stadium where Super Bowl 50 was played just an hour after it ended. NORAD has tracked at least two North Korean satellites; however Kim Jong-un has reported that they have launched four. North Korea calls them “Shining Star,” satellites and they complete their orbits around the earth in about 94 minutes. Trending articles: “The 2nd Amendment Will Be Under Siege Before The Election” New Supreme Court Nominee Supports Whatever Big Government Wants Riots And Fights Over Food Started In Greece. Imagine This On A Large Scale In U.S. When People Are Starving When the Shining Star satellite passed over Levi Stadium, it was 300 miles up. If a nuclear device designed to emit EMP were exploded 250 to 300 miles up over the middle of the country, it would disable the electronics in the entire United States. Everything would shut down instantaneously. This would disable the entire electric grid. It would disable communications, it would disable fuel manufacturing and production, it would disable hospitals and medicines, and it would disable 911 call centers. Water treatment facilities and food storage facilities – everything would be gone. Financial records would be wiped out. Your investments would be gone. Your medical records and prescriptions would be zapped. Heating and air conditioning, supermarkets, telephones, and radio and television, banks and ATMs would shut down, credit cards would become useless, and hospital operating rooms would close. While vehicles made before 1970 might still work, they would be useless. That’s because gasoline could not be obtained, and newer cars and trucks, disabled by the pulse, would block the roads and highways. In most cases, the damage to chips would be permanent. Because tow trucks would not operate, cars would never be cleared from roads. The vast majority of Americans would die from starvation or disease or would freeze to death. All this from an attack delivered from outer space. According to a new article published in The Washington Free Beacon: “The Pentagon and intelligence officials told Congress on Tuesday that China and Russia are preparing to attack and disrupt critical U.S. military and intelligence satellites in a future conflict with crippling space missiles, maneuvering satellite, and laser attacks.” Air Force General John Hyten, Commander of the Air Force Space Command, said in a prepared statement for a hearing of the House Armed Service Strategic Forces subcommittee that the threat to U.S. space systems has reached a new tipping point, and after years of post-Cold War stagnation foreign states are focused on curbing U.S. space systems. There are many ways to disable or destroy satellites beyond provocatively blowing them up with missiles. A spacecraft could simply approach a satellite and spray paint over its optics, or manually snap off its communications antennas, or destabilize its orbit. Lasers can be used to temporarily disable or permanently damage a satellite’s components, particularly its delicate sensors, and radio or microwaves can jam or hijack transmissions to or from ground controllers. Hyten then reported that adversaries are developing kinetic, directed-energy, and cyber tools to deny, degrade, and destroy our space capabilities. Two massive explosions in the port of Tianjin, northern China, killed more than a hundred people and left hundreds more injured and devastated large areas of the city. It also left a huge crater in the ground. The massive destruction was caught on a cell phone and the explosions were also felt as quakes registering 2.5 on the Richter scale. The explosions took place at a warehouse at the port which contained hazardous and flammable chemicals, including calcium carbide, sodium cyanide, potassium nitrate, ammonium nitrate and sodium nitrate. Officials to this day do not know what triggered the blasts or they are not reporting it because nationals who spoke to the American press allegedly off the record claimed that Tianjin explosion was waged as an act of “kinetic retaliation” by the Pentagon in response to China’s currency war Yuan devaluation. The weapon was a Tungsten rod apparently from Project Thor a secret space weapons platform that launches large poles that when they hit the ground cause the same damage as a low yield nuclear bomb. Also read: 12 Tips to Survive The Next Economic Collapse and The Beginning of the Next Great Depression The explosion from the so called rod – destroyed six city blocks. This space weapon was of course paid for with the millions of dollars that are secretly funneled into Pentagon projects that are blasted into space during secret launches. Their payloads are classified and while the final frontier used to be a means to generate hope and accomplishment it is now that dark void that has become a junkyard and a potential mine filed for weapons and payloads for war. Now that the defense budgets have stabilized there has been a keen interest in supplying money to the aerospace industry in order to create hypersonic aircraft. These aircraft go from six times the speed of sound to more than 20. Speed gives one an advantage in battle. Recently, Lockheed Martin announced that the hypersonic air craft for space war capability could be produced for under $1 billion. A prototype could be flying by 2018. Lockheed Martin’s Orion spacecraft could someday take astronauts to Mars. After a successful unmanned test flight in December 2014, the company is building the next version for a final unmanned flight in 2018 that will go 30,000 miles past the moon. Manned flights could begin in 2021, and it looks increasingly likely Orion will first go to the moon before heading to Mars. Lockheed’s Skunk Works, where all of the company’s legendary aircraft have been conceived, is pitching the Air Force on its design of an unmanned replacement for the U-2 called the TRX. There’s still talk of a new SR-71 called the SR-72, though few details could be provided. The company’s cybersecurity division said it is now selling products that not only defend networks but can conduct offensive maneuvers against enemies. One system called Icarus can take control of an enemy’s drone and perhaps satellites. Not to be outdone, China is spending vast amounts of money on state-of-the-art technology projects, and with the potential to purchase off-the-shelf technologies as well, the world’s most populous nation now has the potential to rival even the most advanced US military hardware. Last summer, Popular Science already blew the whistle on the secret space program and that Russia, China and the United States were already prepared for a space warfare scenario and this would indicate there has always been a secret space program that would fight wars in space, but also create a cause for orbital bombardment. If we look back in history at proposed space weapons programs, we can see that there have always been plans in the works to make space the perfect place to keep weapons in order to have an advantage at first strike capabilities. About 1,300 active satellites wreathe the globe in a crowded nest of orbits, providing worldwide communications, GPS navigation, weather forecasting and planetary surveillance. For militaries that rely on some of those satellites for modern warfare, space has become the ultimate high ground. There is also circumstantial evidence suggesting that space platforms and even military outposts already exist on the moon and on Mars. “Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable.” At the beginning of this year and all through last year, there have been a tremendous amount of reports and obvious cover-ups about unusual space debris falling to Earth, UFO sightings and fireball sightings all over the world. These anomalies have been followed by unexplained explosions, power outages and earthquakes. While we have been plagued with discord here on Earth, I have been of the opinion that much of what we need to know is being played out in the skies. There are those who see them as signs and wonders, spoken of in the bible, but there is a possibility that the biblical war in heaven may be organized above us and ready for an all out cosmic campaign. Some say this as a sign of the end of the world. What we are witnessing is the end of conventional warfare and the welcoming of a space battle – with both terrestrial and extra-terrestrial foes that government intelligence is ready to reveal when the time is right to unite in a new global order.

How the GMO Debate Became a National Nightmare

A Senate battle over the labeling of products with genetically modified organisms encompasses everything from states’ rights and consumer rights to food politics and food science.

Later this year, barring some legislative maneuvering, Vermont will become the first U.S. state to require mandatory labeling of products that contain genetically-modified ingredients (GMOs). The argument that led to the passage of the requirement is that consumers ought to “know what’s in their food.” As Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin put it last week, “We already require food companies to label nutritional values such as calories or sugar content and to include an ingredient list.” His message was given a boost by Bernie Sanders, his fellow Vermonter and presidential hopeful: The reason that Shumlin and Sanders are speaking out is because this week the Senate will likely vote on a measure that could render Vermont's mandate moot. The bill, sponsored by Pat Roberts, chairman of the Senate Agricultural Committee, would create an USDA-administered voluntary-labeling system as well as bar the labeling of goods by individual states. You can tell a strange political moment is unfolding when Republicans are rallying against the rights of states to pass their own laws without federal interference. But such is the one of the sharpest and most hysterical national food debates. The battle over GMOs encompasses some of our worst political instincts. The public overwhelmingly fears GMOs and supports labeling. Owing to its partisan nature, the bill to be debated has been given two names: the Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act (SAFE), by those against mandatory labeling, and Deny Americans the Right to Know Act (DARK), by those who support labeling. (Making matters worse, there is also a competing bill that would try to split the difference between supporting state-mandated labeling and attempting to limit label confusion on the national level.) An informal consortium of government organizations and science academies say that genetically modified foods pose no health threat to consumers and yet their interests are associated with pernicious-seeming big agricultural stalwarts like Monsanto and ConAgra. Meanwhile, the FDA isn’t so sure about the environmental impact of genetically engineered crops, which is a different issue altogether that is being lumped within the conversation. In July 2015, my colleague James Hamblin presented this sweeping rebuke of the efforts to force labeling. People who object to genetic modification—either because of concerns about the prudence of introducing certain crops into certain ecosystems, or because of patent laws and corporate business practices, or because these people are among the majority of Americans who now believe any and all “genetically modified” foods to be inherently unhealthful to consume (despite assurances to the contrary from The World Health Organization, Food and Drug Administration, American Medical Association, National Academy of Sciences, and American Association for the Advancement of Science, among others)—can continue to pay premiums for products that are marketed as “GMO free,” which implies health and safety, even while the implication is without merit. According to those monitoring potential votes, it’s looking close, particularly with at least two Republican senators, Ted Cruz of Texas and Marco Rubio of Florida, likely out on the presidential campaign trail.

Health Ranger releases stunning infographic showing how heavy metals end up in the food supply due to industrial pollution

Friday, March 18, 2016 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

(NaturalNews) You've probably heard food companies and nutritional supplement manufacturers claim that high levels of lead found in their products is "naturally occurring." But they're LYING. The truth is that high levels of toxic heavy metals show up in foods, superfoods and supplements due to industrial pollution... including decades of spraying lead arsenate on croplands. Today, I'm releasing a new infographic that reveals the cycle of heavy metals in food and the environment. Click here for the full infographic, or click here for my Youtube video explanation. As this infographic and video both reveal, toxic heavy metals enter the food supply from contaminated soils, and soils are contaminated from a multitude of sources, including:

• Dental offices (mercury)

• Coal power (mercury)

• Pesticides (lead and arsenic)

• Mining operations (copper, nickel, lead, etc.)

• Human waste that's recycled by cities into "biosolids" used on crops

• Contaminated municipal water pipes (lead)

• Chicken feed that's "medicated" with arsenic

Get the full story on heavy metals in food in my upcoming book "Food Forensics" ... available now on Amazon and BN

Radioactivity in New Jersey's water not a health concern for residents: Indian Point plant in Buchanan JUST 40 miles (65 km) north WAS LEAKING RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL INTO THE HUDSON!

Friday, 18 March 2016

Photo blog.geogarage.com  Sent in by Francis After the long ongoing travesty of justice with Michigan’s Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) who stand accused of ignoring months of concerning reports on the amount of lead in Flint’s drinking water, with the brown liquid reportedly making residents’ hair fall out and causing rashes on their skin. Now New Jersey is the latest state with after nine trailers of construction debris were shipped back to a Shafto Road demolition and recycling center after the material set off radiation detection tests at a Pennsylvania landfill. The likely cause is "naturally occurring radioactivity" from New Jersey's water, and is not a health concern for residents nearby, a New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection spokesman said. "It's not an emergency situation whatsoever," DEP spokesman Larry Hajna said. However, what Larry Hajna does not mention is the problematic Indian Point plant in Buchanan, about 40 miles (65 km) north of New York City on the east bank of the Hudson River which is leaking radioactive material into the river at alarming levels! Indian Point has previously had a problem with the release of radioactive water, and the levels of radioactivity reported by the company in February were much worse than in past incidents. One monitoring well showed a nearly 65,000 percent spike in radioactivity, from 12,300 picocuries per liter to more than 8 million picocuries per liter, The testing equipment at Grows Landfill in Morrisville, Pennsylvania detected thorium 232 in the material that had been shipped by the nine trailers from Mazza Demolition and Recycling, a Tinton Falls material recovery facility. That caused the debris to be sent back to Tinton Falls. Officials from Mazza did not return calls for comment. The debris is the innards of an electric cogeneration plant's cooling tower that was demolished in Lakewood, Hajna said. The material was once part of a plastic, honeycomb structure that helped the plant recirculate water and steam in the cooling tower. After years of circulating local ground water, the plastic retained some of the naturally-occurring radium from the water. New Jersey environmental officials are well aware of radioactivity in ground water and test it regularly to make sure its safe for residents, Hajna said. Mountains in the northern part of the state have naturally occurring radioactive rocks. Over geologic time, the rocks broke down and ended up in ground water in certain parts of the state. It's also common for radioactive material from construction demolition to be rejected by landfills, Hajna said. Smoke detectors, which contain small amounts of radioactive material, are often the culprit. Mazza hired a consultant to determine the source of the material, Hajna said. Ultimately, the material could end up back at Grows Landfill because the radiant is naturally-occurring, he said. If not, it would need to go to a special landfill that handles such material.

The FCC’s Plan To Take Over The Internet Has Begun

3/18/2016 3:48 PM EST JOHN MERLINE | john.merline@investors.com |

Reprints “It’s not a government takeover of the Internet.” That was the mantra of those who backed the Federal Communication Commission’s “net neutrality” rules, which the FCC approved a little over a year ago. “Not only are the new rules not a government takeover,” argued one supporter in Variety, “they are well in keeping with how communications have been successfully fostered and regulated in America in the past.” The rules were only meant to keep the Internet “free and open,” advocates said. All the government was doing was blocking ISPs from discriminating against users by charging more for faster speeds. But to impose “net neutrality,” the FCC reclassified the Internet so that it could regulate it in the same way it regulated the telephone monopolies. FCC chairman Tom Wheeler promised that — despite the fact the FCC had just granted itself wide-ranging control over ISPs — it would use a “light touch” when it came to regulating ISPs. But now, 12 months later, the FCC tipped its heavy hand with a proposal for a new set of regulations that could, as the Morning Consult put it, “reshape the tech industry.” The proposed new rules don’t have anything to do with “net neutrality.” They are about privacy. Now that the FCC can do so, Chairman Tom Wheeler has decided that the government should impose what it determines are the appropriate privacy protections on all Internet service providers. On the surface, the purpose of the rules seems perfectly reasonable. “Consumers should have effective control over how their personal information is used and shared by their broadband service providers,” Wheeler says. In practice, however, it would anything but simple or straightforward. As the Morning Consult notes, “the impact of new FCC rules on the industry would be huge.” For one thing, a new set of FCC rules would conflict with long-standing privacy rules set by the Federal Trade Commission. Data-hogging websites sites wouldn’t have to comply with the stricter FCC rules. In a letter to the FCC, various “consumer advocacy” groups said those FTC rules aren’t good enough, and want the commission to “exercise the full extent of its rule-making authority to protect consumer privacy.” Industry groups say the result would be “regulatory chaos” as businesses try to figure out what rules apply where. The point is that anyone who thought the FCC had finished its work when it imposed “net neutrality” is sorely mistaken. The commission’s privacy rules will only be the first of many as regulators flex their newly acquired Internet muscles and as advocacy groups, well-connected businesses, or anyone looking to get a regulatory leg up on the competition will be pressuring the commission to add new rules, always wrapped in a “good for the consumer” package. Further intrusion into the ISP world will only worsen the damage already being done by the FCC’s decision to treat the 21st century Internet like a 20th century telephone monopoly. As FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai explained in a recent speech at the Heritage Foundation, in just the first year, “growth in broadband investment has flat-lined,” and smaller ISPs “have reduced investment in the communities they serve.” As an example, he noted that Verizon (VZ) recently decided to acquire AOL for $4.4 billion because “it made more sense than increasing fiber deployment.” Pai, who fiercely opposed the FCC’s actions, says home broadband adoption has declined for the first time “since the advent of the commercial Internet.” He notes that the rule is hampering innovative services like T-Mobile’s (TMUS) Binge On program, which lets customers stream videos without it counting against their data usage. Despite the obvious consumer benefit, the FCC thinks Binge On might violate the government’s new Internet “conduct standard,” and so has opened an investigation. “At least three other companies have received similar treatment,” Pai noted. Pai and others had warned about all these outcomes from the get go. Those who are surprised by the FCC’s actions over the past year have only themselves to blame.

3/18/2016 — Noteworthy M5.2 earthquake strikes Pacific Northwest Coast / Vancouver Island

March 18, 2016 Michael Janitch

A noteworthy M5.2 earthquake has struck off the shores of Vancouver Island BC in the Pacific Northwest. The earthquake occurred off the West coast of Vancouver along the Seminole Seamount, which is part of the Cascadia subduction zone. This larger earthquake comes to the area after several weeks (months) without any activity above M5.0 at this particular location. There were preceding earthquakes which struck over the past 2-3 days down the West coast of the United States which pointed towards this M5.2 event today. Over the past few days we saw multiple dormant volcanoes being hit by M3.0+ earthquakes, we saw the USGS literally omit an earthquake which struck at Mount Rainier (nearby this new M5.2 earthquake location). Additionally, we saw multiple oil + gas pumping operations being struck by M2.0+ activity throughout California. Finally, yesterday (March 17) reports came in along the West coast of Southern California saying a strong sulfur / ‘rotten egg’ smell was blowing in from offshore. The sufuric smells could be a warning sign of building stresses on the West coast of the United States. This M5.2 is proof the stress is indeed present. We now need to be on watch in adjacent areas to this M5.2, especially to the EAST along the edge of the craton. From Idaho, to Arizona, and from Colorado to the East coast New England…. expect a new round of larger fracking earthquakes along the edge of the craton as well as dormant volcanoes at the border of California to begin moving soon.

2016 Prophetically Significant?

March 17, 2016 by SkyWatch Editor By Dr. Thomas R. Horn, SkyWatch TV CEO

Recently I sat down with SkyWatch TV hosts Derek and Sharon Gilbert to make our television audience aware of the most mysterious facts involving how, over millennia prophets and seers from various cultures looked forward to the year 2016 specifically as a time when supernatural events would give rise to the Antichrist, Jewish Messiah, or Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Some of these predictions were hundreds of years old, others thousands of years, and from people groups that had no known method of communicating with one another. Researching this phenomenon almost a decade ago, I eventually published what some consider my Magnum Opus—the book Zenith 2016. The concept was simple; to ask ‘why’ so many saw this year we’ve entered as pivotal, and to watch whether or not they were correct in their predictions. In general, the excitement (or dread, as the case may be) surrounded a variety of prognostications made by ancient sources concerning a portentous moment in time. Mankind would enter 2016 on course toward unprecedented global upheaval, according to these prophets, when the Earth, and all life upon it, would undergo apocalyptica marked by the sun rising in Sagittarius, the centaur with a bow—the symbol for Nimrod coming out from the mouth of Leviathan and the sun “god” rising again—Nimrod/Osiris/Apollo. For instance, the “Cherokee Rattlesnake Prophecies,” also known as the “Chickamaugan Prophecy” or the “Cherokee Star Constellation Prophecies,” are part of a series of apocalyptic prophecies made by members of the Cherokee tribe during 1811–1812. Their divinations were very similar to Mesoamerican belief, and are viewed by scholars as likely referring to the return of Quetzalcoatl around 2016. Some of the other noteworthy “seers” of 2016’s prophetic significance came from ancient Rabbis and even protestant Christians. Some examples from the book Zenith 2016 include: Prophecy from the Zohar on Messiah’s Return Widely considered the most important work of Jewish Kabbalah, the Zohar is a collection of books written in medieval Aramaic over seven hundred years ago containing mystical commentary on the Pentateuch (five books of Moses, the Torah). In addition to interpreting Scripture, the Vaera section (volume 3, section 34) includes, “The signs heralding Mashiach,” or, “The coming of the Messiah.” This text describes how the Messiah would appear privately to Israel’s Rabbis and then slowly begin making himself know to the world in the years following. The fascinating date for his manifestation to Jewish religious leaders was set in the Zohar for 2012–2013. Given the rejection of Jesus by orthodox Jews as Messiah, this seven-hundred-year-old prediction indicates the Antichrist “arrived” circa 2012–2013. Several top Rabbis in Israel have said in recent days the Messiah is here and is about to make himself known. The Eight-Hundred-Year-Old Prophecy of Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel Will the years immediately following 2016 be prophetically important for Israel and the world? Some have noted when seventy years (what some consider a biblical generation) is added to 1948—the year Israel was formally recognized as an independent nation by the United Nations—it brings us through the year 2018. Does this mean the year 2019—exactly seven years after 2012—would mark the year that Jesus Christ returns with the armies of heaven to establish His rule over Earth? According to an eight-hundred-year-old prophecy, it certainly could. Before he died of cancer, J. R. Church analyzed the ancient predictions of Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel and noted: Ludwig Schneider, writing for Israel Today (March 2008) said, “Some 800 years ago in Germany, Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel was a top Talmudic scholar with an inclination for the mystical. Before he died in the year 1217, he prophesied that the Ottoman Turks would conquer Jerusalem and rule the Holy City for ‘eight Jubilee Years.’” A biblical Jubilee year consists of 50 years. Fifty multiplied by eight equals 400 years. Afterwards, according to Ben Samuel, the Ottomans would be driven out of Jerusalem, which would remain a no-man’s land for one Jubilee year. In the tenth Jubilee year [2017]…the Messianic end times would begin.… Looking back at Ben Samuel’s prediction, we should note that the Ottoman Empire did conquer Jerusalem in 1517, exactly 300 years after the rabbi’s death, and was defeated 400 years later in 1917. In Israel Today, Ludwig Schneider continues, “This came to pass 300 years after Ben Samuel’s death. He could not have based this prophecy on events that could be foreseen, but only on the results of his study of the Bible. According to Leviticus 25, the nation is reunited with its land in the year of Jubilee. Therefore, the Jubilee year plays an important role in Israel’s history. In this case, the Jubilee began with the defeat and conquest of the Mamelukes in Jerusalem by the Ottoman Kingdom in 1517. The Turks reigned over Jerusalem until the British General Edmund Allenby defeated them exactly eight Jubilees later in 1917. “Ben Samuel’s prophecy was fulfilled precisely because 1517 to 1917 is exactly 400 years. Afterward, Jerusalem was a no-man’s land for 50 years during the time of the British Mandate (1917–1967) and the time of Jordanian rule (1947–1967), another Jubilee year. During the Six Day War in 1967, Israel captured Jerusalem from Jordan and the city returned to the Jewish people after nearly two millennia of exile. After that, the countdown for the Messianic age began.” Schneider assumes that since Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel’s prediction appears to be fulfilled to date, then 2017 should launch the beginning of the Messianic era.[i] Protestant Reformers and the Year 2016 Among the turn-of-the-century protestant reformers, there were an astonishing number of theologians that believed the False Prophet and Antichrist would take the stage in 2016! The famous preacher Jonathan Edwards was convinced of this possibility and held a postmillennial view based on the twelve hundred and sixty days the woman is in the wilderness in Revelation 12:6. He interpreted those days as the years that the true Church was to be oppressed by the papists. Clarence Goen writes of this, “Edwards considered that the most likely time for the…reign of Antichrist was 1260 years after AD 756 (the acceding of temporal power to the Pope),”[ii] which would place the apex of Antichrist’s power squarely in 2016. When we were doing research for the book, Petrus Romanus: The Final Pope Is Here, we learned of this belief by Edwards and sought to verify it by examining a collection of his personal voluminous writings. We found confirmation within a series of his sermons, preached at Northampton, Massachusetts in 1739, on how history and prophecy coincide. As Cris Putnam endeavored to demonstrate in our book Petrus Romanus, the pope’s rise to temporal power began when Pope Stephen began courting Pepin around 751 and then became a reality in 756 with the expulsion of the Lombards. Putnam quickly broke out his calculator and saw that 756 placed the target sometime in 2016 which can also be thought of as in the range of three and a half years from 2012. Around that same time during our investigation, we became aware of a sermon collection from the 1800s, titled, “Lectures on the Revelation,” by the Reverend William J. Reid, pastor of First United Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which were given over a period of time ending in March of 1876. Like Jonathan Edwards had over a hundred years earlier, Reid deduced the False Prophet and Antichrist would arrive sometime around 2016. Soon we uncovered numerous other turn of the century examples in which the year 2016 specifically was foreseen as when the False Prophet and the Antichrist would appear, followed by the destruction of Rome. These included: The Theological Dictionary of Princeton University (1830) Critical Commentary and Paraphrase on the Old and New Testament by Lowth and Lowman (1822) The American Biblical Repository (1840) Notes on the Revelation of St. John by Lowman (1773) The Christian Spectator, “The Monthly” (1885) Abridgement of Ecclesiastical History (1776) The Works of the Rev. P. Doddridge, DD (1804) The International Sunday School Lessons Pub (1878) Character and Prospects on the Church of Rome in Two Discourses by the Rev. William Mackray (1829) The Panoplist and Missionary Magazine (1809) Lectures on Romanism by Joseph F. Berg (1840) The Congregational Magazine for the Year (1834) The Presbyterian Magazine (1858) For a complete list of numerous other ancient citations fixed on 2016 as that moment when Antichrist would take the world stage, we recommend the book Zenith 2016. Whether or not all these Christian and non-Christian seers were right will be known very soon.

SPECIAL EDITOR’S NOTE TO FRIENDS OF SKYWATCH: As some of you know, Tom Horn is on network television this week talking about the dozens of ancient seers that foresaw the year 2016 specifically as the time when the Antichrist and False Prophet would arrive. Tom is not a date-setter, he’s just asking WHY did so many — including protestant reformers — believe 2016 would be the beginning of the end… BUT… WE HAD PLANNED TO GIVE AWAY 2 FREE BOOKS WITH TOM’S PROGRAM SPECIAL… BUT YESTERDAY WE FOUND 1 PALLET OF BRAND NEW KJV AUDIO BIBLES (NT) ON 15 COMPACT DISCS BURIED IN OUR WAREHOUSE… AND TOM TOLD USE TO GIVE THEM AWAY WITH THE OTHER FREE BOOKS UNTIL THEY ARE GONE!

Riots And Fights Over Food Started In Greece. Imagine This On A Large Scale In U.S. When People Are Starving Dozens of migrants are rioting over free food handed out outside a football stadium in Greece, with reports of injuries near the Piraeus port where nearly 5,000 migrants are living at the passenger terminals. Local Greek media reports state that rioting began shortly after 7pm, when around 30 people started fighting each other while lining up to receive free food from the Olympiakos Football Club. Piraeus Port Authority coast guard officers attended the scene to separate Afghan and Syrian migrants fighting each other. The news comes on the same day of reporting migrant-on-migrant stabbings in the area. The incident has occurred just 24 hours after movie star Angelina Jolie was caught in a crush of around 4,000 people wanting to see her visiting migrants in the port of Piraeus. ekathimerini.com reports: Three men received non-life threatening stab wounds during a brawl between Afghan refugees at Piraeus port early on Thursday morning. Port authorities have launched an investigation into the incident that involved around 20 asylum seekers in a passenger terminal that is being used as a refugee shelter. Word of the day: Prepare! And do it the old fashion way, like our fore-fathers did it and succeed long before us, because what lies ahead of us will require all the help we can get. Watch this video and learn the 3 skills that ensured our ancestors survival in hard times of famine and war. Now imagine this on a large scale here in U.S. There are so many events that can cause a food shortage even in a country as U.S Also read: Food shortage occurs when food supplies within a bounded region do not provide the energy and nutrients needed by that region’s population. Food shortage is most easily conceptualized as a production problem – not enough food is grown to meet regional needs – but constraints on importation as well as storage can also cause or contribute to food shortage. Food shortage is also created where food is exported from areas where production is adequate or even abundant. Historically, the great hunger of Ireland (1845-1847) and the famine of Bengal (1944) have been attributed more to British political decisions to export locally produced grain supplies without compensating imports than to production shortfalls per se (Woodham-Smith 1962; Sen 1981). Even when production shortfall is the primary cause of insufficient supply, the ecological and political reasons for production problems vary widely. They range from natural disasters such as drought, flood, or fungus, to political disasters such as civil conflict, terrorist attack, to misguided economic policies such as price controls- all of which discourage production of essential foods. Trending articles: 7 Signs of a U.S. Economic Collapse in 2016 How To Survive In The City When Disaster Strikes So let me give you one clear example of what can happen and how a nation like U.S can fall in short time. I guarantee that most ordinary folks have no idea that if trucks stopped rolling all across America, within a short period of time nearly all Americans would be in a life-threatening situation from major delivery shortages. 70% of all freight that is moved in the U.S. is done so by truck. You (we) depend on that ‘stuff’ for our survival. A major disruption in truck travel would immediately impact seven major industries, and would bring America to its knees within days due in part to “Just-In-Time” manufacturing, zero-inventory, and the fact that our modern way of life is entirely dependent upon unimpeded distribution chains. IMPACT TIMELINE IF TRUCKS STOPPED ROLLING The first 24 hours

• Delivery of medical supplies to the affected area will cease.

• Hospitals will run out of basic supplies such as syringes and catheters

within hours. Radiopharmaceuticals will deteriorate and become

unusable.

• Service stations will begin to run out of fuel.

• Manufacturers using just-in-time manufacturing will develop component

shortages.

• U.S. mail and other package delivery will cease.

Within 48 hours

• Food shortages will begin to develop.

• Automobile fuel availability and delivery will dwindle, leading to skyrocketing

prices and long lines at the gas pumps.

• Without manufacturing components and trucks for product delivery,

assembly lines will shut down, putting thousands out of work.

Within 72 hours

• Food shortages will escalate, especially in the face of hoarding and

consumer panic.

• Supplies of essentials—such as bottled water, powdered milk, and

canned meat—at major retailers will disappear.

• ATMs will run out of cash and banks will be unable to process

transactions.

• Service stations will completely run out of fuel for autos and trucks.

• Garbage will start piling up in urban and suburban areas.

• Container ships will sit idle in ports and rail transport will be disrupted,

eventually coming to a standstill.

Waste Removal

•Within days, America will be buried in garbage, presenting an enormous health hazard.

Within a week

• Automobile travel will cease due to the lack of fuel. Without autos and

busses, many people will not be able to get to work, shop for groceries,

or access medical care.

• Hospitals will begin to exhaust oxygen supplies.

Within two weeks

• The nation’s clean water supply will begin to run dry.

Within four weeks

• The nation will exhaust its clean water supply and water will be safe for drinking only after boiling. As a result gastrointestinal illnesses will increase, further taxing an already weakened health care system.

It’s all pretty scary. The ripple effects would be severe, the specifics of which are far too many to list here. You may be of the opinion that something like this could or would never happen. You would be wrong to think that. Don’t let your normalcy bias get in the way of critical thinking. Think about it. Watch the video and watch the people killing each other for food, read the timeline again. Are you prepared? If not I urge you to do something about it. Don’t be part of that mob that will kill each other over a can of tuna. Make a food supply and save you and your family from starvation for as long as you can. “Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable.”

At least 31 killed in terror attacks at Brussels airport, Metro station

Published March 22, 2016 FoxNews.com

As many as 31 people were killed and more than 180 injured as coordinated terrorist bombings rocked the Brussels airport and subway system during rush hour Tuesday morning in the Belgian capital. Two bombings at Zaventem Airport, where 11 people were reportedly killed, and another at the metro station in the Maelbeek section near the European Union headquarters, where the mayor's office said 20 were killed, were almost immediately confirmed as terrorism. The attack at the airport was reportedly accompanied by shouts in Arabic and gunfire, and an unexploded suicide belt was reportedly found in the aftermath. "What we feared has happened, we were hit by blind attacks," said Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel. "We are at war,” French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said Tuesday. “We have been subjected for the last few months in Europe to acts of war." The attacks, which Belgian authorities said were suicide bombings, came four days after the main suspect in the November Paris attacks was arrested in Brussels, and even as Brussels was braced for new attacks. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. A source told Fox News that a credible ISIS social media account posted the message, “Mosul revenge for the Kuffar capital Brussels,” but it was not definitive that the terror group was behind the attacks. The first two explosions rocked the departure hall at the Brussels airport shortly after 8 a.m. local time. Early reports placed the number of dead at 13, with as many as 81 wounded, although the death toll was later revised downward to 11. Witnesses told The Associated Press that one occurred at an American Airlines counter and the other near a Starbucks cafe. American Airlines said in a statement that none of its employees were among the dead or injured and later tweeted from its verified account that the blast did not occur at its check-in row. “There were two explosions in the departure area, one probably caused by a suicide bomber," said Belgian federal prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw of the attack on the airport. One of the airport bombs may have been in a suitcase, a U.S. official told The Associated Press, and local TV reported that it may have been loaded with nails. Witnesses recounted a harrowing and chaotic scene. “First there was one explosion. Everyone started to run and panic broke out. Then a second explosion was heard,” one witness told The Brussels Times about the airport explosion. Zach Mouzoun, who arrived on a flight from Geneva about 10 minutes before the first blast, told BFM television that the second, louder explosion brought down ceilings and ruptured pipes, mixing water with blood from victims. "It was atrocious. The ceilings collapsed," he said. "There was blood everywhere, injured people, bags everywhere." "We were walking in the debris. It was a war scene," he said. etc. and the news story continues..

The Latest: Islamic State group claims Brussels attacks

March 22, 2016 10:43 AM The Associated Press

BRUSSELS The Latest on explosions at Brussels airport and metro station (all times local): 4:40 p.m. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attacks in Brussels, saying its extremists opened fire in the airport and "several of them" detonated suicide belts. The posting in the group's Amaq news agency said another suicide attacker detonated in the metro. The posting claimed the attack was in response to Belgium's support of the international coalition arrayed against it. 4:25 p.m. People can start moving around Brussels once more after being told to stay in place for hours after bombing attacks Tuesday morning at the airport and on a subway station. Peter Mertens of the Belgian crisis center says "the threat is still real and serious" of more attacks. But he says air traffic at Brussels' Zaventem airport "remains closed for the day under any circumstance" but people in the Belgian capital can start walking outside again and train stations are reopening. At least 31 people were killed and nearly 190 wounded Tuesday after bombs went off in Brussels airport.

Why Brussels? Belgian capital no stranger to terror

Jane Onyanga-Omara, USA TODAY 11:53 a.m. EDT March 22, 2016

The Belgian capital is no stranger to associations with terror, with tensions heightened following the devastating attacks in Paris in November that killed 130 people. Explosions at Brussels' airport and at a downtown metro stop killed at least 31 people and wounded scores of others on Tuesday. Belgium's federal prosecutor confirmed that the explosions were terrorist attacks. The Islamic State claimed responsibility, SITE a U.S.-based organization that monitors terrorists' activities online reported. The blasts came days after terrorism police raided an apartment in the Brussels suburb of Molenbeek, leading to the arrest Friday of Salah Abdeslam, a suspect in the Paris attacks on the run for four months, and two other suspects. Abdeslam went on the run after terrorists launched the attacks at cafes, a rock concert and a stadium in the French capital. The Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, claimed responsibility. Several of the Paris attackers lived in the Molenbeek neighborhood and police have carried out regular raids there in the aftermath of the assaults. On March 15, Brussels police said a suspect was killed during an anti-terror raid on a home in the southern suburb of Forest and at least one gunman was on the run. AFP said the raid was aimed at people connected to one or several of the 11 Belgians who were charged in the Paris attacks. In December, investigators found Abdeslam’s fingerprint as well as three belts that could be used to carry explosives during a search of an apartment in the Schaerbeek neighborhood of Brussels. Belgian officials said it was likely used as a bomb factory in the Paris attacks and as a hideout by Abdeslam. Authorities appear to have focused predominantly on Molenbeek, an inner-city suburb in Brussels which has long been linked to terror, and been portrayed as a jihadist breeding ground. A man who was subdued as he apparently prepared to open fire on passengers on a high-speed train from Amsterdam to Paris in August was reported to have stayed in the neighborhood before boarding the train in Brussels. The suspect in a shooting that killed four people at the Jewish Museum in Brussels in 2014 also stayed there, and so did the members of a suspected ISIL terror cell in the eastern city of Verviers in January 2015, according to media reports. One of the members of the group behind the train bombings in Madrid that killed 191 in 2004 was also from Molenbeek. Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon pledged to “clean up Molenbeek” after the Paris attacks. Belgium has per capita the highest number of citizens in Europe traveling to fight in places such as in Syria and Iraq, according to a United Nations working group on the use of mercenaries. It estimated that 500 Belgians have left the country to fight. etc. and more continues..

Obama's Odyssey to Terrorist Cuba

The White House denies justice to American victims of terror.

March 21, 2016 Daniel Greenfield

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam. In 1972, Ishmael Muslim Ali LaBeet and four other killers walked into the Fountain Valley golf club in the Virgin Islands. They rounded up four Florida tourists and four employees, forced them to kneel on the ground, shouted racial slurs at their victims, all but one of whom were white. “Kill all the white mother___s”, one of the attackers yelled. And the Fountain Valley Massacre began. LaBeet had converted to Islam under the influence of Malcolm X and had a history of assaults on white people. He and his fellow racist murderers were swarmed by left-wing civil rights attorneys eager to claim that they had been tortured into confessing. William Kunstler, the most notorious figure in the case, got a St. Croix vacation out of it while sleeping with the wife of Michael Ratner, the head of the Center for Constitutional Rights. But his claims of torture were undermined by his own clients. At his trial, Ishmael LaBeet yelled, "I killed them all. I don't give a f__. I killed them all.” Supporters snapped Black Power salutes. The killers were found guilty and sentenced. But LaBeet had learned how to use civil rights to manipulate the system. His manipulations culminated in his successful hijacking of an airplane to Cuba. Today he is still there, north of Guantanamo, and claims to be a Communist. LaBeet is one of many racist terrorists who have killed Americans and who are being harbored by the Castro regime. The pain of his victims and the victims of other left-wing terrorists under the protection of the Castro crime family are not likely to move the radical extremist in the White House. Cuba holds the same appeal for Obama that it did for the leftist terrorists who hide out there today. Even though Obama illegally and falsely delisted Cuba as a state sponsor of terror, the Communist dictatorship still remains a haven and a hub for terrorists from around the world. Cuba is best known for its ties to the Marxist narcoterrorists of FARC who have kidnapped and murdered Americans. But the Iran-backed Islamic terrorists of Hezbollah, who carried out the Marine barracks bombing in Beirut, have a home in Cuba. As do members of the left’s terrorist networks in America. Castro’s hotel for killers hosted the murderers of Patrolman Robert Rosenbloom in New Mexico. Two of them have since died, but Charlie Hill of the Republic of New Afrika, a racist Black Nationalist group inspired by Malcolm X, is still a free man in Cuba and has been complaining to the media about his life in the Communist dictatorship where he is required to work for a living and smoking pot is a crime. Discussing the murder of Rosenbloom, Hill has said, “I have never felt guilty about that cop. I never think about that dude.“ William Morales, the bombmaker for FALN, a Puerto Rican separatist terrorist group that currently enjoys almost as much support from the New York City Council as it does from Castro, was linked to the Fraunces Tavern bombing in New York which killed four people and wounded dozens. Morales was allegedly aided in his escape by his lawyer, Susan Tipograph, who was supposed to have strapped bolt cutters to her thighs. Tipograph is married to former Weathermen terrorist Cathy Wilkerson whose terrorist pals blew up her father’s Greenwich Village townhouse while working on a nail bomb meant to be used on an army dance at Fort Dix. Tipograph went on to defend Lynne Stewart, another radical leftist lawyer who was convicted of aiding the Blind Sheikh who was linked to the World Trade Center bombing and future terror bombing plots in New York City. The bombmaker and terrorist leader is still reportedly alive and well in Cuba. And then there’s Frank Terpil, a traitor who provided weapons to terrorists and worked for Saddam, Gaddafi, Arafat and other enemies of the United States before joining up with Castro to undermine America. There are allegations that Terpil died recently, but such claims have been made before. But the most famous American terrorist in Castro’s Hotel for Terrorists is Joanne Chesimard aka Assata Shakur. Shakur, a member of the racist Black Liberation Army terrorist group, murdered New Jersey state trooper Werner Foerster. Even while the FBI has her on its Most Wanted list, Obama is visiting a country where cop-killers like Chesimard and Hill are protected by its Communist government. While the families of the victims of the Fraunces Tavern bombing, the relatives of dead police officers and murdered tourists wait for justice, Obama has bailed out the regime responsible for denying it. Domestically, Obama has made war on police officers. By taking the side of the racist #BlackLivesMatter movement, the successor to hate groups such as the Black Panthers and the BLA, he has managed to get even more police officers killed than Chesimard and Hill ever could. Obama is their biggest achievement. Obama’s supporters view Chesimard and Hill as heroes, not as criminals. #BlackLivesMatter explicitly celebrates Shakur as an inspiration for its hate group. In Open Letter Part II, Jay Z gleefully raps about his White House connections and support for cop killers. "Boy from the hood but got White House clearance", "Obama said ‘chill, you gonna get me impeached’", "With the Obamas, I ride, I meet the president on the Southside" and pivots to "Assata Shakur, they tried to execute her, I went to Cuba to see her, We should free her, like we should Mumia."The radical left has always celebrated the murderers of police officers. The unlikely escapes to Cuba by left-wing terrorists in America required aid and comfort from figures in the left-wing establishment. Will Obama ask Castro to extradite the killers and terrorists to America? Pope Francis ignored similar pleas. It’s even less likely that Obama will listen. Instead Lynch’s DOJ may finally give Charlie Hill the slap on the wrist he wanted in exchange for letting him come back. Joanne Chesimard may finally be allowed to do her celebratory tour of campuses in the United States. And Morales may be able to visit the city that he bombed where he will be feted by New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito who supports FALN terrorists and has refused to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Obama would not have put in this much effort into aiding the Castro regime if the Communist dictatorship weren’t such an inspiration to the American left. Castro understood that for the bargain price of providing a refuge for left-wing terrorists, he could secure the undying loyalty of extremists like Obama. It took a long time, but the American left was finally in a position to bail out Castro. Obama’s Cuban trip is one of his final acts of treason against the United States of America and against the American dead.

Anti-Israel Protesters March on AIPAC Policy Conference

Purpose of protest was to 'advocate for the right of Palestinians all over the world'

BY: Aaron Kliegman March 21, 2016 9:41 am

“Do not negotiate! We must keep fighting!” declared Abbas Hamideh, co-founder of Al-Awda, The Palestine Right to Return Coalition, to the few hundred pro-Palestinian activists gathered before him in front of the White House on Sunday. They were there to protest the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, widely known as AIPAC, America’s most influential pro-Israel lobbying group, on the first day of its annual policy conference at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. Beyond AIPAC, the purpose of the protest was to “advocate for the right of Palestinians all over the world.” To this end, the protestors were calling for the creation of a new Palestinian state stretching from the Jordan River in the east to the Mediterranean Sea in the west, an area within which the entire state of Israel is located, and for all Palestinians around the world to have a right to return to this land. Al-Awda hosted and organized the protest along with co-sponsor the ANSWER Coalition, an anti-war group. The protesters first gathered at the White House at noon to organize and hear various speakers before marching to AIPAC conference. “We have Christians—the real ones—[and] Jews, the real Jews,” Hamideh told the crowd with a smile while speaking of its diversity. He then asked, “Are you ready to give up an inch on Palestine?” to which the crowd responded, “No!” Hamideh’s question is similar to a statement on his Twitter page in which he declares, “I don’t compromise on one inch of Palestinian land!” Some of the most noticeable aspects of the protest were the many provocative signs that protestors held, making their message evident to onlookers. “Israel = Racism and Genocide,” one sign read. “Israel = Ku Klux Klan,” another said. “The problem isn’t just AIPAC,” one speaker said. “The problem is the White House, the House of Representatives, the Senate, who write blank checks to Israel for $4 billion a year … which goes to missiles and bombs and checkpoints and apartheid.” Presidential candidates did not escape the protestors’ criticisms either. Not only were there anti-Donald Trump signs at the protest and speakers who were calling him racist, but Hillary Clinton also received criticism from the crowd for being too close to big banks and oil companies. The protest appeared to co-opt a political left-wing agenda with its focus on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. One man, for example, was handing out fliers that, in his own words, “explain Israel’s genocidal and apartheid policies and actions,” but they focused as much on advocating for people to vote Socialist candidates into office. At 1:30 p.m., the protestors mobilized into formation and began marching to the convention center. Police blocked off roads on the way, and one masked protestor spotted two police officers on horseback and went right up to them, shouting, “You know, millions of people will one day come back and reclaim this city! You will have to make a decision whether you are with them or against them! Mark my words!” The chant then changed to: “1, 2, 3, 4, stop the killing, stop the war! 5, 6, 7, 8, Israel is a terror state!” After several minutes and much attention from onlookers filming the march with their phones, the protestors arrived at the convention center, where they shouted “Shame on you” at any individuals who walked in or out of the AIPAC event. A few protestors pointed and yelled “terrorists” at anyone coming or going. The leader of the protest at the convention center was Sabry Wazwaz, an American Palestinian filmmaker and activist. Wazwaz told the protestors to “look at those faces in those windows. They are scared. This is what justice looks like.” Wazwaz went to great lengths to connect Palestinian resistance with black resistance in the United States, declaring that “Palestinians stand with the Back Lives Matter movement” and compared Israel’s presence in the Palestinian territories to “the American occupation of the black community.”

U.S. Christians Support Israel More Than Israeli Christians

03-09-2016 CBN News

A new survey shows a big difference between Israeli Christians and American evangelicals in their views towards Israel. The Pew Research Center conducted a comprehensive study on views of the Jewish State. Researchers polled 468 self-identified Christians living in Israel. A major finding from the survey is the divergent views on the land of Israel between Israeli and American Christians. In 2013, 82 percent of white evangelicals said God gave the land of Israel to the Jewish people. But the survey found only 19 percent of Christians born, raised and living in Israel believe the same. Sixty-six percent believe that's not literally true, and 9 percent said they don't know what to think. Pew discovered only 2 percent of the population of Israel in 2015 was Christian. That percentage is primarily divided in half between Catholic and Orthodox Christians. Protestants and Messianic Jews together comprised less than .5 percent of the population of Israel. Their communities were not broken out in the survey results separately, but they are a part of the totals involving all Christians. Another result involves the perception of the United States' support of Israel. Eighty-six percent of Israeli Christians say the United States supports Israel too much, while only 6 percent believe the U.S. government is not supporting Israel enough and 7 percent believe the amount of support is just right. Contrast that with American Christians. According to a 2013 Pew study, only 18 percent said the American government is too supportive of Israel. Twenty-nine percent of American Christians thought the U.S. was not supporting Israel enough and 41 percent believed the support was about right. In a 2015 Pew survey, only 6 percent of white evangelicals in the U.S. thought the American government was too supportive, while 55 percent believed the U.S. did not support Israel enough, and 36 percent agreed the support was around the right level. In a 2015 survey from LifeWay Research, 80 percent of evangelical pastors agreed that Christians should support Israel. Other results of the Pew poll of Israeli Christians involve their faith walk. Only 34 percent of Christians in Israel said they pray daily, and 38 percent attend church at least weekly. On the other hand, 68 percent of American Christians and 79 percent of U.S. evangelicals say they pray daily. Forty-seven percent of Christians and 58 percent of evangelicals in the United States attend church at least once a week.

Emptying classrooms for Day of Silence

Pro-family groups are urging parents to participate in a walkout if they find out their children's schools are going to observe the pro-homosexual "Day of Silence" on April 15. Day of Silence, promoted by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), encourages students to remain silent throughout the school day to show empathy for "gay" students who they say are bullied because of their sexual orientation. Cultural analyst Laurie Higgins of the Illinois Family Institute says this political activity does nothing but disrupt education. "The ACLU has written on the Day of Silence website that students have no legal right to refuse to speak," she tells OneNewsNow. She says GLSEN, which began Day of Silence 20 years ago, is falsely portraying this as an anti-bullying event. "They're exploiting legitimate, anti-bullying sentiment to achieve their ultimate goal of eradicating conservative, moral, social, and political beliefs about homosexuality, or at least silencing them," she adds. She says parents who keep their children home on that day should tell school administrators they're doing so because schools participating in Day of Silence are allowing classrooms with captive audiences to be politicized.

Soros Board Member Chairs Firm Running Online Voting for Tuesday’s Utah Caucuses

by Aaron Klein20 Mar 2016

Smartmatic Group, an electronic voting firm whose worldwide headquarters is located in the United Kingdom, will be running the online balloting process in the Utah Republican Open Caucuses on Tuesday. The chairman of Smartmatic’s board, Lord Mark Malloch-Brown, currently serves on the board of George Soros’s Open Society Foundation and has close ties to the billionaire. The Wall Street Journal dubbed the Republican party’s online adventure on Tuesday as “one of the biggest online votes conducted so far in the U.S.” and the “largest experiment with online presidential voting since 2004, when Michigan allowed Democrats to vote in a party caucus via the Internet.” The Journal further reported: Utah residents will have the option of casting ballots in the Republican presidential contest using computers, tablets, and smartphones next week. … Online “polls” will be open between 7:00 a.m. and 11 p.m. on March 22. Voters will get a receipt that will verify that their vote was recorded correctly. The state party declined to release the number of online voter registrations that it has received. … “We expect all the jurisdictions across the U.S. to take notice and to look at this experience as something to study and, hopefully, follow,” said Antonio Mugica, founder and chief executive of Smartmatic Group, an election-equipment vendor that is running the Utah election. Mugica addressed security concerns about online voting, telling the Journal that Smartmatic has security protocols and backups of the election data should a recount be needed. He said he wasn’t aware of any security breaches. The Journal did not cite the biography of Malloch-Brown, chairman of Smartmatic’s board. That biography is posted openly on Smartmatic’s website, and shows close associations between Malloch-Brown and Soros, a major donor to the Democratic Party and hundreds of liberal and radical-left groups. The bio states: Mark Malloch-Brown is a former number two in the United Nations as well as having served in the British Cabinet and Foreign Office. He now sits in the House of Lords and is active both in business and in the non-profit world. He also remains deeply involved in international affairs. Mark served as Deputy Secretary-General and Chief of Staff of the UN under Kofi Annan. For six years before that he was Administrator of the UNDP, leading the UN’s development efforts around the world. He was later Minister of State in the Foreign Office, covering Africa and Asia, and was a member of Gordon Brown’s cabinet. Other positions have included vice-chairman of George Soros’s Investment Funds, as well as his Open Society Institute, a Vice-President at the World Bank and the lead international partner at Sawyer Miller, a political consulting firm. He also has served as Vice-Chairman of the World Economic Forum. He began his career as a journalist at The Economist. Besides formerly serving as vice-chairman of Soros’s Investment Funds and the billionaire’s Open Society Institute, Malloch-Brown is currently a global board member of Soros’s Open Society Foundation. As further documented in his Smartmatic Group bio, Malloch-Brown also serves on the small board of the International Crisis Group, a Soros-financed international crisis management organization. Soros himself sits on the ICG’s small board. Besides their worldwide headquarters in London, Smartmatic lists offices in 13 other countries. Their U.S. offices are located in Boca Raton, Florida. Tuesday’s Utah GOP Caucuses are considered an important test for online voting, which seems poised to expand in future elections. Last month, Microsoft’s vote-counting technology was utilized in the Iowa Caucus. Obama last week called for future online voting while speaking at the South by Southwest technology and music festival. He said the technology world should debate “how can we create safe, secure, smart systems for people to be able to vote much easier online.” In a press release, Smartmatic’s Mugica responded directly to Obama’s call for online voting, stating, “President Obama’s call was surprising in only one respect—that it caused a stir.” “In a world where we can buy a house, take a degree course, and access government services online, it does not make sense that elections don’t use tried and tested technology,” added Mugica. “I agree with the President. The future of democracy is digital.” In January 2014, Obama’s 10-person Presidential Commission on Election Administration released its recommendations for reforming the U.S. election process, including transitioning to voting via tablet computers and other technologies, as Breitbart reported. The commission recommended: Software-only products can be integrated with off-the-shelf commercial hardware components such as computers, laptops, tablets, scanners, printers, and even machine-readable code scanners and signature pad products. Tablet computers such as iPads are common components of these new technologies. They can be integrated into the check-in, voting, and verification processes in the polling place. The commission highlighted new technologies in which the voter can “pre-fill” sample ballots at home to be scanned later at the polling place. The panel dismissed concerns about hacking. The commission stated: “The fact that a tablet or off-the-shelf computer can be hacked or can break down does not mean such technology is inherently less secure than existing ballot marking methods if proper precautions are taken.” With research by Brenda J.

GOP MEETING RIGHT NOW TO "REWRITE CONVENTION RULES"

Post by Newsroom - Mar 20, 2016

According to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, a meeting is taking place TODAY to re-write the Rules for the 2016 Republican Convention. Upset that the existing "establishment" has been unable to stop voters from freely choosing Donald J. Trump as the Republican nominee for President of the United States, Mr. Priebus and his cadre of establishemtn cronies and lackeys will now blatantly change the rules to get what they want --- and the voters be damned. When asked what their initial reaction was to this revelation, Republican voter from New York, Stephen Chesney said "Never in my life have I witnessed men who are so without honor that they are willing to cheat so brazenly." Michelle Mikalusco of New Jersey said "These people are sore losers and good for nothing cheats." If they can change the rules in the middle of the game, perhaps the Republican electorate can too; by "removing" the Chairman and his lackeys, prior to the expiration of his term. After all, what's good for the Goose is good for the Gander.

Trump under attack by 187 organizations directly funded by George Soros

March 20, 2016/in Featured, Immigration, Labor / Unions, Policy, Politics /by Dr. Rich Swier

There have been many articles written about George Soros and his collectivist activism. Soros is a business magnate, investor, philanthropist, and author who is of Jewish-Hungarian ancestry and holds dual citizenship. He is chairman of Soros Fund Management. Discover the Networks has published a comprehensive list of organizations funded by Soros and his Open Society Institute. Some of these groups have actively opposed Donald Trump for president and may be part of the recent levels of violence and chaos seen at his rallies. Many of the groups favor: open borders, amnesty, giving illegals voting rights, Muslim migration and social justice. You may learn more about Soros and his causes from these two articles:

Open Society Institute: Top 150 Grantees by Tina Trent October 19, 2011

Major Recipients of Soros Funding, 1999-2005 by The Capital Research Center March 2005

Organizations that, in recent years, have received direct funding and assistance from George Soros and his Open Society Institute (OSI) include the following. (Comprehensive profiles of each are available in the “Groups” section of DiscoverTheNetworks.org):

Advancement Project: This organization works to organize “communities of color” into politically cohesive units while disseminating its leftist worldviews and values as broadly as possible by way of a sophisticated communications department. Air America Radio: Now defunct, this was a self-identified “liberal” radio network.

All of Us or None: This organization seeks to change voting laws — which vary from state to state — so as to allow ex-inmates, parolees, and even current inmates to cast their ballots in political elections.

Alliance for Justice: Best known for its activism vis a vis the appointment of federal judges, this group consistently depicts Republican judicial nominees as “extremists.”

America Coming Together: Soros played a major role in creating this group, whose purpose was to coordinate and organize pro-Democrat voter-mobilization programs.

America Votes: Soros also played a major role in creating this group, whose get-out-the-vote campaigns targeted likely Democratic voters.

America’s Voice: This open-borders group seeks to promote “comprehensive” immigration reform that includes a robust agenda in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens.

American Bar Association Commission on Immigration Policy: This organization “opposes laws that require employers and persons providing education, health care, or other social services to verify citizenship or immigration status.”

American Bridge 21st Century: This Super PAC conducts opposition research designed to help Democratic political candidates defeat their Republican foes.

American Civil Liberties Union: This group opposes virtually all post-9/11 national security measures enacted by the U.S. government. It supports open borders, has rushed to the defense of suspected terrorists and their abettors, and appointed former New Left terrorist Bernardine Dohrn to its Advisory Board.

American Constitution Society for Law and Policy: This Washington, DC-based think tank seeks to move American jurisprudence to the left by recruiting, indoctrinating, and mobilizing young law students, helping them acquire positions of power. It also provides leftist Democrats with a bully pulpit from which to denounce their political adversaries. American Family Voices: This group creates and coordinates media campaigns charging Republicans with wrongdoing.

American Federation of Teachers: After longtime AFT President Albert Shanker died in in 1997, he was succeeded by Sandra Feldman, who slowly “re-branded” the union, allying it with some of the most powerful left-wing elements of the New Labor Movement. When Feldman died in 2004, Edward McElroy took her place, followed by Randi Weingarten in 2008. All of them kept the union on the leftward course it had adopted in its post-Shanker period.

American Friends Service Committee: This group views the United States as the principal cause of human suffering around the world. As such, it favors America’s unilateral disarmament, the dissolution of American borders, amnesty for illegal aliens, the abolition of the death penalty, and the repeal of the Patriot Act.

American Immigration Council: This non-profit organization is a prominent member of the open-borders lobby. It advocates expanded rights and amnesty for illegal aliens residing in the U.S.

American Immigration Law Foundation: This group supports amnesty for illegal aliens, on whose behalf it litigates against the U.S. government.

American Independent News Network: This organization promotes “impact journalism” that advocates progressive change.

American Library Association: This group has been an outspoken critic of the Bush administration’s War on Terror — most particularly, Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act, which it calls “a present danger to the constitutional rights and privacy rights of library users.”

The American Prospect, Inc.: This corporation trains and mentors young leftwing journalists, and organizes strategy meetings for leftist leaders.

Amnesty International: This organization directs a grossly disproportionate share of its criticism for human rights violations at the United States and Israel.

Applied Research Center: Viewing the United States as a nation where “structural racism” is deeply “embedded in the fabric of society,” ARC seeks to “build a fair and equal society” by demanding “concrete change from our most powerful institutions.”

Arab American Institute Foundation: The Arab American Institute denounces the purportedly widespread civil liberties violations directed against Arab Americans in the post-9/11 period, and characterizes Israel as a brutal oppressor of the Palestinian people.

Aspen Institute: This organization promotes radical environmentalism and views America as a nation plagued by deep-seated “structural racism.”

Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now: This group conducts voter mobilization drives on behalf of leftist Democrats. These initiatives have been notoriously marred by fraud and corruption.

Ballot Initiative Strategy Center: This organization seeks to advance “a national progressive strategy” by means of ballot measures—state-level legislative proposals that pass successfully through a petition (“initiative”) process and are then voted upon by the public.

Bill of Rights Defense Committee: This group provides a detailed blueprint for activists interested in getting their local towns, cities, and even college campuses to publicly declare their opposition to the Patriot Act, and to designate themselves “Civil Liberties Safe Zones.” The organization also came to the defense of self-described radical attorney Lynne Stewart, who was convicted in 2005 of providing material support for terrorism.

Black Alliance for Just Immigration: This organization seeks to create a unified movement for “social and economic justice” centered on black racial identity.

Blueprint North Carolina: This group seeks to “influence state policy in North Carolina so that residents of the state benefit from more progressive policies such as better access to health care, higher wages, more affordable housing, a safer, cleaner environment, and access to reproductive health services.”

Brookings Institution: This organization has been involved with a variety of internationalist and state-sponsored programs, including one that aspires to facilitate the establishment of a U.N.-dominated world government. Brookings Fellows have also called for additional global collaboration on trade and banking; the expansion of the Kyoto Protocol; and nationalized health insurance for children. Nine Brookings economists signed a petition opposing President Bush’s tax cuts in 2003.

Campaign for America’s Future: This group supports tax hikes, socialized medicine, and a dramatic expansion of social welfare programs.

Campaign for Better Health Care: This organization favors a single-payer, government-run, universal health care system.

Campaign for Youth Justice: This organization contends that “transferring juveniles to the adult criminal-justice system leads to higher rates of recidivism, puts incarcerated and detained youth at unnecessary risk, has little deterrence value, and does not increase public safety.”

Campus Progress: A project of the Soros-bankrolled Center for American Progress, this group seeks to “strengthen progressive voices on college and university campuses, counter the growing influence of right-wing groups on campus, and empower new generations of progressive leaders.”

Casa de Maryland: This organization aggressively lobbies legislators to vote in favor of policies that promote expanded rights, including amnesty, for illegal aliens currently residing in the United States.

Catalist: This is a for-profit political consultancy that seeks “to help progressive organizations realize measurable increases in civic participation and electoral success by building and operating a robust national voter database of every voting-age American.”

Catholics for Choice: This nominally Catholic organization supports women’s right to abortion-on-demand.

Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good: This political nonprofit group is dedicated to generating support from the Catholic community for leftwing candidates, causes, and legislation.

Center for American Progress: This leftist think tank is headed by former Clinton chief of staff John Podesta, works closely with Hillary Clinton, and employs numerous former Clinton administration staffers. It is committed to “developing a long-term vision of a progressive America” and “providing a forum to generate new progressive ideas and policy proposals.”

Center for Community Change: This group recruits and trains activists to spearhead leftist “political issue campaigns.” Promoting increased funding for social welfare programs by bringing “attention to major national issues related to poverty,” the Center bases its training programs on the techniques taught by the famed radical organizer Saul Alinsky.

Center for Constitutional Rights: This pro-Castro organization is a core member of the open borders lobby, has opposed virtually all post-9/11 anti-terrorism measures by the U.S. government, and alleges that American injustice provokes acts of international terrorism.

Center for Economic and Policy Research: This group opposed welfare reform, supports “living wage” laws, rejects tax cuts, and consistently lauds the professed achievements of socialist regimes, most notably Venezuela.

Center for Reproductive Rights: CRR’s mission is to guarantee safe, affordable contraception and abortion-on-demand for all women, including adolescents. The organization has filed state and federal lawsuits demanding access to taxpayer-funded abortions (through Medicaid) for low-income women.

Center for Responsible Lending: This organization was a major player in the subprime mortgage crisis. According to Phil Kerpen (vice president for policy at Americans for Prosperity), CRL “sh[ook] down and harass[ed] banks into making bad loans to unqualified borrowers.” Moreover, CRL negotiated a contract enabling it to operate as a conduit of high-risk loans to Fannie Mae.

Center on Budget and Policy Priorities: Reasoning from the premise that tax cuts generally help only the wealthy, this organization advocates greater tax expenditures on social welfare programs for low earners.

Center on Wisconsin Strategy (COWS): Aiming to redistribute wealth by way of higher taxes imposed on those whose incomes are above average, COWS contends that “it is important that state government be able to harness fair contribution from all parts of society – including corporations and the wealthy.”

Change America Now: Formed in December 2006, Change America Now describes itself as “an independent political organization created to educate citizens on the failed policies of the Republican Congress and to contrast that record of failure with the promise offered by a Democratic agenda.”

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington: This group litigates and brings ethics charges against “government officials who sacrifice the common good to special interests” and “betray the public trust.” Almost all of its targets are Republicans.

Coalition for an International Criminal Court: This group seeks to subordinate American criminal-justice procedures to those of an international court.

Common Cause: This organization aims to bring about campaign-finance reform, pursue media reform resembling the Fairness Doctrine, and cut military budgets in favor of increased social-welfare and environmental spending.

Constitution Project: This organization seeks to challenge the legality of military commissions; end the detainment of “enemy combatants”; condemn government surveillance of terrorists; and limit the President’s executive privileges.

Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund: Defenders of Wildlife opposes oil exploration in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. It condemns logging, ranching, mining, and even the use of recreational motorized vehicles as activities that are destructive to the environment.

Democracy Alliance: This self-described “liberal organization” aims to raise $200 million to develop a funding clearinghouse for leftist groups. Soros is a major donor to this group.

Democracy 21: This group is a staunch supporter of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, also known as the McCain-Feingold Act.

Democracy Now!: Democracy Now! was created in 1996 by WBAI radio news director Amy Goodman and four partners to provide “perspectives rarely heard in the U.S. corporate-sponsored media,” i.e., the views of radical and foreign journalists, left and labor activists, and ideological foes of capitalism.

Democratic Justice Fund: DJF opposes the Patriot Act and most efforts to restrict or regulate immigration into the United States — particularly from countries designated by the State Department as “terrorist nations.”

Democratic Party: Soros’ funding activities are devoted largely to helping the Democratic Party solidify its power base. In a November 2003 interview, Soros stated that defeating President Bush in 2004 “is the central focus of my life” … “a matter of life and death.” He pledged to raise $75 million to defeat Bush, and personally donated nearly a third of that amount to anti-Bush organizations. “America under Bush,” he said, “is a danger to the world, and I’m willing to put my money where my mouth is.”

Demos: This organization lobbies federal and state policymakers to “addres[s] the economic insecurity and inequality that characterize American society today”; promotes “ideas for reducing gaps in wealth, income and political influence”; and favors tax hikes for the wealthy.

Drum Major Institute: This group describes itself as “a non-partisan, non-profit think tank generating the ideas that fuel the progressive movement,” with the ultimate aim of persuading “policymakers and opinion-leaders” to take steps that advance its vision of “social and economic justice.”

Earthjustice: This group seeks to place severe restrictions on how U.S. land and waterways may be used. It opposes most mining and logging initiatives, commercial fishing businesses, and the use of motorized vehicles in undeveloped areas.

Economic Policy Institute: This organization believes that “government must play an active role in protecting the economically vulnerable, ensuring equal opportunity, and improving the well-being of all Americans.”

Electronic Privacy Information Center: This organization has been a harsh critic of the USA PATRIOT Act and has joined the American Civil Liberties Union in litigating two cases calling for the FBI “to publicly release or account for thousands of pages of information about the government’s use of PATRIOT Act powers.”

Ella Baker Center for Human Rights: Co-founded by the revolutionary communist Van Jones, this anti-poverty organization claims that “decades of disinvestment in our cities” — compounded by “excessive, racist policing and over-incarceration” — have “led to despair and homelessness.”

EMILY’s List: This political network raises money for Democratic female political candidates who support unrestricted access to taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand.

Energy Action Coalition: Founded in 2004, this group describes itself as “a coalition of 50 youth-led environmental and social justice groups working together to build the youth clean energy and climate movement.” For EAC, this means “dismantling oppression” according to its principles of environmental justice.

Equal Justice USA: This group claims that America’s criminal-justice system is plagued by “significant race and class biases,” and thus seeks to promote major reforms.

Fair Immigration Reform Movement: This is the open-borders arm of the Center for Community Change.

Faithful America: This organization promotes the redistribution of wealth, an end to enhanced interrogation procedures vis a vis prisoners-of-war, the enactment of policies to combat global warming, and the creation of a government-run heath care system.

Feminist Majority: Characterizing the United States as an inherently sexist nation, this group focuses on “advancing the legal, social and political equality of women with men, countering the backlash to women’s advancement, and recruiting and training young feminists to encourage future leadership for the feminist movement in the United States.”

Four Freedoms Fund: This organization was designed to serve as a conduit through which large foundations could fund state-based open-borders organizations more flexibly and quickly.

Free Exchange on Campus: This organization was created solely to oppose the efforts of one individual, David Horowitz, and his campaign to have universities adopt an “Academic Bill of Rights,” as well as to denounce Horowitz’s 2006 book The Professors. Member organizations of FEC include Campus Progress (a project of the Center for American Progress); the American Association of University Professors; the American Civil Liberties Union; People For the American Way; the United States Student Association; the Center for Campus Free Speech; the American Library Association; Free Press; and the National Association of State Public Interest Research Groups.

Free Press: This “media reform” organization has worked closely with many notable leftists and such organizations as Media Matters for America, Air America Radio, Global Exchange, Code Pink, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, the Revolutionary Communist Party, Mother Jones magazine, and Pacifica Radio.

Funding Exchange: Dedicated to the concept of philanthropy as a vehicle for social change, this organization pairs leftist donors and foundations with like minded groups and activists who are dedicated to bringing about their own version of “progressive” change and social justice. Many of these grantees assume that American society is rife with racism, discrimination, exploitation, and inequity and needs to be overhauled via sustained education, activism, and social agitation.

Gamaliel Foundation: Modeling its tactics on those of the radical Sixties activist Saul Alinsky, this group takes a strong stand against current homeland security measures and immigration restrictions.

Gisha: Center for the Legal Protection of Freedom of Movement: This anti-Israel organization seeks to help Palestinians “exercise their right to freedom of movement.”

Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect: This group contends that when a state proves either unable or unwilling to protect civilians from mass atrocities occurring within its borders, it is the responsibility of the international community to intervene — peacefully if possible, but with military force if necessary.

Global Exchange: Established in 1988 by pro-Castro radical Medea Benjamin, this group consistently condemns America’s foreign policy, business practices, and domestic life. Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Global Exchange advised Americans to examine “the root causes of resentment against the United States in the Arab world — from our dependence on Middle Eastern oil to our biased policy towards Israel.”

Grantmakers Without Borders: GWB tends to be very supportive of leftist environmental, anti-war, and civil rights groups. It is also generally hostile to capitalism, which it deems one of the chief “political, economic, and social systems” that give rise to a host of “social ills.”

Green For All: This group was created by Van Jones to lobby for federal climate, energy, and economic policy initiatives.

Health Care for America Now: This group supports a “single payer” model where the federal government would be in charge of financing and administering the entire U.S. healthcare system.

Human Rights Campaign: The largest “lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender” lobbying group in the United States, HRC supports political candidates and legislation that will advance the LGBT agenda. Historically, HRC has most vigorously championed HIV/AIDS-related legislation, “hate crime” laws, the abrogation of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, and the legalization of gay marriage.

Human Rights First: This group supports open borders and the rights of illegal aliens; charges that the Patriot Act severely erodes Americans’ civil liberties; has filed amicus curiae briefs on behalf of terror suspect Jose Padilla; and deplores the Guantanamo Bay detention facilities.

Human Rights Watch: This group directs a disproportionate share of its criticism at the United States and Israel. It opposes the death penalty in all cases, and supports open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens.

I’lam: This anti-Israel NGO seeks “to develop and empower the Arab media and to give voice to Palestinian issues.”

Immigrant Defense Project: To advance the cause of illegal immigrants, the IDP provides immigration law backup support and counseling to New York defense attorneys and others who represent or assist immigrants in criminal justice and immigration systems, as well as to immigrants themselves.

Immigrant Legal Resource Center: This group claims to have helped gain amnesty for some three million illegal aliens in the U.S., and in the 1980s was part of the sanctuary movement which sought to grant asylum to refugees from the failed Communist states of Central America.

Immigrant Workers Citizenship Project: This open-borders organization advocates mass immigration to the U.S.

Immigration Advocates Network: This alliance of immigrant-rights groups seeks to “increase access to justice for low-income immigrants and strengthen the capacity of organizations serving them.”

Immigration Policy Center: IPC is an advocate of open borders and contends that the massive influx of illegal immigrants into America is due to U.S. government policy, since “the broken immigration system […] spurs unauthorized immigration in the first place.”

Independent Media Center: This Internet-based, news and events bulletin board represents an invariably leftist, anti-capitalist perspective and serves as a mouthpiece for anti-globalization/anti-America themes.

Independent Media Institute: IMI administers the SPIN Project (Strategic Press Information Network), which provides leftist organizations with “accessible and affordable strategic communications consulting, training, coaching, networking opportunities and concrete tools” to help them “achieve their social justice goals.”

Institute for America’s Future: IAF supports socialized medicine, increased government funding for education, and the creation of an infrastructure “to ensure that the voice of the progressive majority is heard.”

Institute for New Economic Thinking: Seeking to create a new worldwide “economic paradigm,” this organization is staffed by numerous individuals who favor government intervention in national economies, and who view capitalism as a flawed system.

Institute for Policy Studies: This think tank has long supported Communist and anti-American causes around the world. Viewing capitalism as a breeding ground for “unrestrained greed,” IPS seeks to provide a corrective to “unrestrained markets and individualism.” Professing an unquestioning faith in the righteousness of the United Nations, it aims to bring American foreign policy under UN control.

Institute for Public Accuracy: This anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-Israel organization sponsored actor Sean Penn’s celebrated visit to Baghdad in 2002. It also sponsored visits to Iraq by Democratic Congressmen Nick Rahall and former Democrat Senator James Abourezk

Institute for Women’s Policy Research: This group views the U.S. as a nation rife with discrimination against women, and publishes research to draw attention to this alleged state of affairs. It also advocates unrestricted access to taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand, stating that “access to abortion is essential to the economic well-being of women and girls.”

International Crisis Group: One of this organization’s leading figures is its Mideast Director, Robert Malley, who was President Bill Clinton’s Special Assistant for Arab-Israeli Affairs. His analysis of the Mideast conflict is markedly pro-Palestinian.

J Street: This anti-Israel group warns that Israel’s choice to take military action to stop Hamas’ terrorist attacks “will prove counter-productive and only deepen the cycle of violence in the region”

Jewish Funds for Justice: This organization views government intervention and taxpayer funding as crucial components of enlightened social policy. It seeks to redistribute wealth from Jewish donors to low-income communities “to combat the root causes of domestic economic and social injustice.” By JFJ’s reckoning, chief among those root causes are the inherently negative by-products of capitalism – most notably racism and “gross economic inequality.”

Joint Victory Campaign 2004: Founded by George Soros and Harold Ickes, this group was a major fundraising entity for Democrats during the 2004 election cycle. It collected contributions (including large amounts from Soros personally) and disbursed them to two other groups, America Coming Together and the Media Fund, which also worked on behalf of Democrats.

Justice at Stake: This coalition calls for judges to be appointed by nonpartisan, independent commissions in a process known as “merit selection,” rather than elected by the voting public.

Latino Justice PRLDF: This organization supports bilingual education, the racial gerrymandering of voting districts, and expanded rights for illegal aliens.

Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law: This group views America as an unremittingly racist nation; uses the courts to mandate race-based affirmative action preferences in business and academia; has filed briefs against the Department of Homeland Security’s efforts to limit the wholesale granting of green cards and to identify potential terrorists; condemns the Patriot Act; and calls on Americans to “recognize the contribution” of illegal aliens.

League of United Latin American Citizens: This group views America as a nation plagued by “an alarming increase in xenophobia and anti-Hispanic sentiment”; favors racial preferences; supports the legalization of illegal Hispanic aliens; opposes military surveillance of U.S. borders; opposes making English America’s official language; favors open borders; and rejects anti-terrorism legislation like the Patriot Act.

League of Women Voters Education Fund: The League supports taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand; supports “motor-voter” registration, which allows anyone with a driver’s license to become a voter, regardless of citizenship status; and supports tax hikes and socialized medicine.

League of Young Voters: This organization seeks to “empowe[r] young people nationwide” to “participate in the democratic process and create progressive political change on the local, state and national level[s].”

Lynne Stewart Defense Committee: IRS records indicate that Soros’s Open Society Institute made a September 2002 grant of $20,000 to this organization. Stewart was the criminal-defense attorney who was later convicted for abetting her client, the “blind sheikh” Omar Abdel Rahman, in terrorist activities connected with his Islamic Group.

Machsom Watch: This organization describes itself as “a movement of Israeli women, peace activists from all sectors of Israeli society, who oppose the Israeli occupation and the denial of Palestinians’ rights to move freely in their land.”

MADRE: This international women’s organization deems America the world’s foremost violator of human rights.

During the 1980s it championed Communist revolution in Central America and chastised U.S. policy-makers for their tendency “to assume the very worst about their Soviet counterparts.” More recently, Sojourners has taken up the cause of environmental activism, opposed welfare reform as a “mean-spirited Republican agenda,” and mounted a defense of affirmative action.

GLENN BECK Bashes Christians for Voting Trump: “Evangelicals Have Not Been Listening to Their God” (VIDEO)

Jim Hoft Mar 21st, 2016 11:33 pm 1543 Comments

Radio and TV host Glenn Beck trashed Christians again for not voting for Ted Cruz.

If only they’d see the light of Ted Cruz?

During his speech today in Utah Glenn called for Mormons to rise up. Beck also scolded Evangelicals in the South for not listening to the voice of God – or the voices he’s hearing in his head, anyway. “Utah has an incredible opportunity. So many Christians have been standing up. But all throughout the South the Evangelicals are not listening to their God. Let us raise a standard in Utah.”

Glenn Beck touts Ted Cruz as fulfillment of Mormon end-days prophecy

Posted on March 21, 2016 by Dr. Eowyn | 24 Comments

On the eve of the Utah caucuses, Ted Cruz has received the endorsement of two prominent Mormons: Glenn Beck and Mitt Romney. On Tuesday, March 22, Utah Republicans will choose 40 delegates in caucuses. Under Utah’s rules, a candidate who wins more than 50% of the vote captures all of the state’s GOP delegates. If nobody wins more than half, the delegates are apportioned based on the percentage of the vote the candidate wins. Lee Davidson reports for The Salt Lake Tribune that on Saturday, March 19, 2016, at a Cruz campaign rally of about 5,000 people in Provo High School, Provo, Utah, TV-radio talk host Glenn Beck said about Cruz and Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah), “I don’t have any friends in Washington except these two” because of how they attack the status quo there. Then Beck said something at once cryptic and alarming. He said that he, like many Mormons, believes in a prophecy that the Constitution will hang by a thread in the last days. Beck said he believes that now is that time, and that people like Lee and Cruz will save it. Beck also said the Book of Mormon was created as a guide on how to protect freedom in our day, to which the people at the rally responded yelling, “I believe!” Cruz also received an endorsement from another prominent Mormon — 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Romney — who had been campaigning for any GOP presidential candidate except Donald Trump — did not appear at Cruz’s rallies, but endorsed Cruz in a Facebook post on Friday. Romney wrote: “The only path that remains to nominate a Republican rather than Mr. Trump is to have an open convention. At this stage, the only way we can reach an open convention is for Sen. Cruz to be successful in as many of the remaining nominating elections as possible. Today, there is a contest between Trumpism and Republicanism. Through the calculated statements of its leader, Trumpism has become associated with racism, misogyny, bigotry, xenophobia, vulgarity and, most recently, threats and violence. I am repulsed by each and every one of these.” Trump responded by calling Romney “the man who ‘choked’ and let us all down,” so his endorsement of Cruz “is good for me.” For his part, Cruz said that the biggest danger America faces is career politicians who no longer listen, and that he relishes battling them for the people: “The biggest divide we have today in politics is between career politicians in Washington — in both parties — and the American people. Our freedom is at stake. Our nation is dangling in the balance.” Cruz said he has been ridiculed and attacked by such politicians for fighting Obamacare and defending the Constitution, but that he and Sen. Mike Lee are “holding Washington accountable.” Cruz even hinted that he might consider Lee as a Supreme Court nominee if he is elected president. Thus far, Trump has won 673 delegates, Cruz has won 410 delegates, Ohio Gov. John Kasich has won 143, while Florida Sen. Marco Rubio — who suspended his campaign this week — had won 169. A total of 1,237 delegates is needed to win the Republican Party’s nomination. It is the height of irony for Glenn Beck to tout Ted Cruz as the savior of the tattered Constitution, for Beck certainly cares not a whit whether Cruz — a Canadian citizen by birth who renounced his Canadian citizenship only last year when a Texas newspaper outed him — is constitutionally eligible to be President of the United States. In that, Beck is simply acting true to character. He had used the MSM’s derisive label “birthers” to refer to Americans who question Obama’s constitutional eligibility to be president. Beck even stooped to calling “birthers” “dumb”. (See “Who’s the stupid one, Glenn Beck?“

Sheriff Clarke Warns Very Sovereignty Of America At Risk As Anti-Trump Protesters Tyrannize Americans - Black Lives Matter Spokesperson Warns Of Violence Against Whites If Donald Trump Wins

March 20, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

Things are clearly beginning to 'heat up' in America as the 1st day of Spring brings George Soros and the 'new world order' unleashing their paid terrorists upon America in an attempt to launch a race war upon Americans and put a stop to the nearly unstoppable rise of Donald Trump. As Americans suddenly awaken 'en masse' to the globalists plans to drive a final stake through Americas heart so that they can completely bring in their 'New World Order' and continue their pillaging of American jobs, the raping of the middle class and the destruction of our Constitution, they've bowed to historical leftist tactics of rioting and terrorism as heard much more in the videos below. As Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke tells Fox News in the first video below, what we're now watching is a rebellion and a threat to the very sovereignty of the United States in all of these protests that have suddenly terrorized the lives of ordinary, law-abiding American citizens who simply want to go about their lives. Sheriff Clarke is totally on fire in this interview.: "Let’s not misidentify this,” he said on Fox and Friends Weekend. “This is a rebellion.” While “the liberal mainstream media is nothing more than a propaganda wing for the Democrat Party,” said Clarke, “I identified these individuals for who they really are well over a year ago. I call them anarchists.” “It’s a conglomeration of misfits,” he added. Not only does their argument go against every sovereign nation’s duty “to protect its borders,” said Clarke, but the protesters also pose a danger to “law-abiding citizens standing up for their Constitutional right.” "I’m not encouraging them to start the fight, but I’m one of those that comes from the school: if the fight is inevitable, hit first, and hit hard.” We're beginning to see the globalists 'game plans' unfolding to keep America in the 'New World Order' on several different fronts now as Tef Poe, a spokesman for 'Black Lives Matter' who was actually flown out to the United Nations to speak about 'police violence,' has issued terror threats upon whites as seen in his tweet below as well as elaborated upon more in the next video below from Infowars; if Trump wins, there will be young blacks out 'en masse' causing riots, he says. Despite the fact that it is against the law to protest in America where Secret Service agents are present and guarding somebody under Secret Service protection according to HR347 which states: “When the federal law on trespass was quietly amended—it is a crime, punishable by up to a year in prison, to “knowingly impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions” in locations guarded by the Secret Service, including places where individuals under Secret Service protection are temporarily located”, we've seen very few arrests where Trump has been protested against. If this was Mr. Obama being protested against, would things be different? As Americans, we have the right to go about our travels unhindered; as we've seen in recent protests against Trump and as seen in 2nd video below, ''terrorists'' are preventing law-abiding Americans from being able to go about their daily business unhindered as they block highways and transportation, completely unaware they are aiding the same injustices they believe that they are protesting against. We also saw another 'front' today in what could be the unfolding of civil war in America in Arizona as seen in that 2nd video below from jonah70757 as law-breakers masquerading as protesters in Arizona stopped Americans from going about their day to day lives. In the 3rd video below, according to Economist Magazine, a Donald Trump presidency is listed as one of their greatest threats to the global economy, surely since a Trump presidency would bring jobs back to America while corporations using low-wage labor overseas would be forced to pay Americans at least a little bit more. Back in 2008 and 2012, white Americans barely protested against Barack Obama in his run for presidency and certainly never expressed the kind of hatred towards him that we have been seeing towards Donald Trump and his views from 'the left'. In our lifetimes of following politics in America, we can NEVER REMEMBER SO MUCH HATRED being displayed from a group of people towards a candidate merely for expressing his 1st Amendment Rights, and to see those on the left actually BLAMING Donald Trump for speaking his mind shows us just how far down the Orwellian road of political correctness that we have gone. While anti-Trump protesters held up signs saying 'make America hate again', we've rarely seen so much hatred coming from anyone anywhere as the hatred which the protesters displayed, certainly not from those who chose to attend a peaceful Donald Trump rally. Each and every day we can see the direction this is clearly headed...the leftists will do absolutely anything to keep in power, including launching a race war upon law-abiding American citizens. America is truly getting an opportunity to see what hatred is up close and personal. Why are their eyes so full of hatred as seen in the photographs above? While they may not like everything that Mr. Trump has to say, as an American, he's surely free to speak his mind...and those who choose to listen to what Mr. Trump wants to say shouldn't have their lives encumbered by those who have been taken over by hatred of what Trump represents, an America with borders. Even though so many Americans share in the sadness of what has happened to our country under Barack Obama and the NWO globalists for the past 7 years and prior to that time under Bush, we never see the kind of hatred coming from those Americans who disapprove of Obama's or Bush's politics and actions as we do see the hatred directed towards Trump for simply voicing his opinions under his right to free speech. Hillary Clinton has been responsible for the deaths of thousands in the Middle East and elsewhere due to her foreign policy and we don't see the same kind of hatred directed towards her, not even by those who lost family members due to her disastrous foreign policy decisions! While the globalists might think that they'll be able to start a race war, many Americans have become too wise too fall for such tricks and as we learn from this story from Gateway Pundit and see in the final two videos below, a black Donald Trump supporter gets into it with a racist protester who is wearing a KKK mask. The black Donald Trump supporter has since been arrested for this beatdown. With white Americans cheering on the black man we have to ask, where is all that racism that the mainstream media is talking about?

How Mexico Plans to Influence U.S. Election and Stop Trump

March 21, 2016 | Joshua Krause | The Daily Sheeple | 2,652 views

What with Donald Trump’s calls to wall off the Mexican border, and his controversial statements about illegal immigrants, it’s no surprise that the Mexican government is not looking forward to a Trump presidency. When asked about Trump’s plan to make our southern neighbor pay for the wall, former president Vicente Fox went so far as to say “I’m not going to pay for that f***ing wall.” So clearly the leadership in Mexico is vehemently opposed to Trump, but how far would they go to stop him? Officially they’ve claimed that they have no plan to influence the US presidential election, but the actions of their diplomats speak louder than their assurances. For the very first time in history, consulates across the country are hosting free workshops for Mexican immigrants, that will teach them how to become U.S. citizens. Are they trying to trying to influence the election by turning Mexican immigrants into eligible voters? The timing couldn’t be more perfect, as millions of legal residents are eligible for citizenship, and many of them are concerned about Donald Trump. Bloomberg interviewed some of the immigrants who attended these workshops, and found that many of them were motivated to achieve citizenship, just so they can vote against Trump. However, the consulates are denying the accusation that they’re trying to influence the election. According to Laura Espinosa, a staffer at Mexico’s consulate in Las Vegas, “We don’t have any opinion on that, because that would be totally interfering in internal affairs of the country.”

Poisoned Tap and Bottled Water In 42 States- The Depopulation Agenda At Work

The American infrastructure is crumbling, it is not secret and has never been a secret for a generation. As a case in point, do you remember when the I-35 bridge going into Minneapolis collapse and sent many to their death? Every facet of our lives, which connected to public infrastructure is crumbling. Mike Adams recently exposed how we are ingesting heavy metals in our food. The examples are ubiquitous when it comes to a crumbling infrastructure being culpable in the premature deaths of tens of millions of Americans. Who Is Responsible? We entrust our public leaders with their Constitutionally sworn fiduciary duty to protect the electorate. How long have our national officials known about the crumbling infrastructure, such as the massive amounts of lead in our drinking water? Congress has been holding hearings on this going back to the 1990’s. This means that every President from HW Bush to Obama has failed in their fiduciary duty to the people of the United States to keep them safe from foreseeable and preventable health calamities. The failure for anyone not to take action when a danger is known, is called depraved indifference. All over this country, and on a daily basis, is referred to in the law as DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE. Depraved indifference, when it results in the preventable death of a person(s), can be used sustain an indictment for manslaughter 1, or Murder 2. As a case in point for this depraved indifference with regard to our elected officials failure to act and/or war the public of a health crisis, I point to our present water crisis as a prime example of any of hundreds of such examples. Get the Lead Out! Are Americans are being systematically poisoned through the water we consume? The tap water contains deadly lead contamination in 42 out of 50 states. Our leaders tell us that we can handle so many parts per million of lead in our water. Who are they kidding? Any amount of lead has a toxic effect. This is an excuse for our leaders to continue to disregard the health of the general public, while continuing to cater to their special interest supporters. Many will say that we can just use bottle water. What a joke! The bottled water we consume is filled with tap water containing, of course, the deadly lead. The following chart provides a breakdown of lead in the tap water in all 50 states. There are very few places where you are not consuming dangerous lead poisoned water. The white states have virtually no lead in the water. If you live in Nevada, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, South Dakota, Hawaii and Kentucky, you more than likely have water that safe to drink. If you live in the other 42 states, you are in danger. How long has the Obama administration known about this? Some of the American people will reason that they will only drink bottled water. Not so fast, in many cases, bottled water is worse for you that drinking tap water. Also, in many cases, bottled water is tap water, recycled water. You have to watch the following video on the acidic water that some name brands are selling in bottled. It is proven the PH levels are making you sick and keeping you sick on a daily basis. I implore you to watch and share this video so everyone can see these shocking results. Citizens in 42 states are systematically being positioned and set up to contract cancer, diabetes and any other number of life-threatening health conditions. And this is being done all under the watchful eye of our elected officials. Forget the EPA, FDC and CDC, they are not your friend. They are not protecting us from this scourge of poison water that we are consuming. “East Coast Man”, from the video, is an excellent researcher and makes the systematic poisoning of America crystal clear for all to see in this video. “We’ll Just Trap Rain Water” You could always trap rain water and drink that, correct? Not exactly, In many states (e.g. Colorado and Washington) trapping rainwater is prohibited and is punishable fines and imprisonment. And yes, people have gone to jail for trapping rainwater. This prohibition has been ushered in by politicians who receive federal grant money to implement Agenda 21 policies. What Is Going On? The Obama administration spends no money on revitalizing our infrastructure, but they have enough fiat cash to send Iran $150 billion dollars for nuclear weapons deal that puts every American in danger. Perhaps if we import more Muslims, Obama will find the money to work on our infrastructure as I am sure he would move to protect his own. Have you noticed America, whether it is free trade agreements, health care, reasonably priced pharmaceuticals and drinkable water, our corporate controlled government would prefer to flush the money down the toilet than to give it to the American people, regardless of the cause. Do the American people have a target on their back? How do the criminal elite benefit? They are creating chronic health conditions at earlier ages that their pharmaceutical and managed health care companies are going to profit from as Americans are systematically exterminated by these soft kill tactics. It is a great business plan and your health has been pledged as collateral. Obama, and Obama 2.o (Clinton) have money for moveon.org, Black Lives Matter, etc., to engage in riots at Trump rally’s, but there is no money to protect for the middle class. Obama phones, yes. clean drinking water, no! And people wonder why I am voting for Trump. Cruz, Sanders, Kasich and Clinton have all been part of this criminal cabal that has acted with such purposeful depraved indifference toward the American people.

The Truth about Putin’s Withdrawal from Syria

by John Galt March 21, 2015 04:00 ET

THERE is this myth, propagated by the Western media that when Russia engages in an activity which seems counter to prior statements or actions that it is a sign of weakness or incoherent strategic goals. Sadly for the West and the new generation of so-called “Russian” experts, this is the farthest thing from the truth. At the liberal website Slate, the ‘expert’ speculated that it was due to Assad’s intransigence and the financial cost of the operations in Syria. That of course is almost complete nonsense except that rumors were that Russia was pushing Assad to accept a Federalized state solution for the Kurds in exchange for their loyalty to the Assad regime. The cost of the operation was less than $1 billion dollars and despite the Turkish shooting down of a Russin Su-24, the economic costs have hit Turkey and Saudi/GCC allied terrorist forces far harder than the just over $600 million the Russians spent. Meanwhile at the American version of Pravda, USA Today, the experts in their article speculated that the withdrawal was to force President Assad into a political solution; again, a wet dream wish to salvage Obama’s reputation in the region as there is no impetus for such an agreement to be reached. The ceasefire currently agreed to is already in tatters as ISIS and pro-Saudi terrorist groups have shattered that peace with offensives and car bomb attacks throughout the countryside. At the same time, Turkish forces continue to attack across the border at Kurdish positions with impunity, thus guaranteeing a larger conflict along the Turkish border is about to develop. The reality? The situation closer to home is going to require the full attention of the Russian leadership and military and the best pilots will be needed for a possible upcoming conflict if the European Union and NATO allies fail to reign in the militarists running the Ukrainian government. Vladimir Putin was not ignoring the actions of the European Union’s foreign ministers meeting in Brussels early last week where cracks began to appear in the united front of keeping the sanctions against Russia. Italy, Greece, and Hungary all wanted a change in the policy and direct engagement but Italy has since recanted and agreed to keep the sanctions on Russia should certain yet unspecified conditions fail to be met. The Kiev government is keenly aware of this fact and will wish to manufacture a reason for the sanctions to remain firmly in place while at the same time, doing the same thing the rebels in Syria were attempting: to lure NATO into a conflict with Russia. Meanwhile, the violence in the Donbas region against the Donetsk and Lugansk regions has increased dramatically in the past three weeks. In some areas around Donetsk and Gorlovka, the number of attacks has double in the past week as this map below shows (data from Russian news sites and Donbas bloggers): In addition, over the past week a column of 15 Ukrainian Army tanks and APCs were spotted 15 km from the city of Gorlovka in an area where they can attack directly towards Donetsk or move east from their staging point to move against Gorlovka. The following video from NewsFront highlights the location and threat they possess: This along with reported increased Ukrainian troop activity near Mariupol, Lugansk, and along the Moldovan/Transnestria borders to the west have alarmed Moscow while the OSCE and EU sit silent on the matter. Since the Minsk accords were signed, on a nightly basis the suburbs of Donetsk and Lugansk have endured attacks using small arms fire but in recent weeks, heavier artillery is being used by the Ukrainians in direct violation of the Minsk agreement. Vladimir Putin, unlike President Obama, can multi-task and understands the complexity of the situation he faces. If the Ukrainians begin a spring offensive in the next few weeks, it will provide him with the justification to launch full fledged military operations in the Donbas region and to the west in Transnestria to protect Russian interests. The benefits for Moscow of such a provocation by the Kiev government are five fold:

1. Russia can destroy large portions of the Ukrainian military, further destabilizing the Kiev government.

2. Justification for such actions will be obvious to the global community and not provoked by Russia, thus providing another black eye for the Obama/EU cabal.

3. Russian citizens desiring to unite with the Donbas region might be provided a Federalized Russian protection scheme which will include Odessa, Transnestria, and all regions east to Mariupol, leaving the nation of Ukraine with no port facilities or ocean access.

4. NATO’s influence in the region will be further diminished and the reputation as a paper tiger cemented in the minds of Eastern European countries.

5. This also opens up the possibility of reversing the pro-EU/NATO desires of Serbia, possibly moving them back into the Russian sphere. Putin understands the risks and how this might play out over the coming months and understood that he needed his best Spetsnaz and Air Force personnel back in Russia to get rest and ready for possible combat. With Syria still in the forefront of US and EU propaganda and provocation while US troops now directly engage ISIS forces near Mosul; it is obvious to the Russian military and Putin that there is no stomach to defend the corrupt Kiev regime if they fail to get in line and observe the Minsk agreements, and it will be viewed as a lost cause by the West as Russia will end up gaining the upper hand. Once again, old Vlad is five moves ahead playing chess, while Obama continues to insist on marking “X” or “O” in the chessboard squares.

North Korea Threatens Nuclear Strike, Uncertainty Abounds - Nathan McDonald

March 16, 2016

The world is once again on edge. Global uncertainty, which is already at a heightened level, has exploded even higher. The cause of this escalation is the renewed jabbering from North Korea's fanatic leader, Kim Jong Un. Aggression from North Korea has been continuous since the days Kim Jong Un’s father ruled, with both threatening to destroy the world in one way or another. These talks have carried on since with the death of the former leader and the continuation of power in the hands of his son. Yet, something very major has changed. No longer is the world ignoring these statements, for things have rapidly accelerated in regards to the technology that North Korea possesses, leaving many to wonder how they advanced their knowledge so quickly. Since the start of this year, a timeline has been constructed by the Arms Control Association which paints a very grim and very scary picture: January 6, 2016: North Korea announces it conducted a fourth nuclear weapons test, claiming to have detonated a hydrogen bomb for the first time. Monitoring stations from the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization detect the seismic activity from the test. The type of device tested remains unclear, although experts doubt it was of a hydrogen bomb based on seismic evidence.

February 7, 2016: North Korea launches a long-range ballistic missile carrying what it has said is an earth observation satellite in defiance of United Nations sanctions barring it from using ballistic missile technology, drawing strong international condemnation from other governments which believe it will advance North Korea’s military ballistic missile capabilities.

March 2, 2016: The UN Security Council unanimously adopts Resolution 2270 condemning the nuclear test and launch of early 2016, and demanding that North Korea not conduct further tests and immediately suspend all activities related to its ballistic missile program. Resolution 2270 expands existing sanctions on North Korea by adding to the list of sanctioned individuals and entities, introducing new financial sanctions, and banning states from supplying aviation fuel and other specified minerals to North Korea. Resolution 2270 also introduces a requirement that UN member states inspect all cargo in transit to or from North Korea for illicit goods and arms.

This timeline, although scary on its own, is made even worse when coupled with the statements that are coming from North Korea's leadership and state run media: "Our hydrogen bomb is much bigger than the one developed by the Soviet UnionIf this H-bomb were to be mounted on an intercontinental ballistic missile and fall on Manhattan in New York City, all the people there would be killed immediately and the city would burn down to ashes.” With recent developments in their technology, these comments cannot and will not be ignored by world leaders. South Korea and the United States are planning their largest-ever joint military exercise, which will simulate the invasion of North Korea.

In addition to this, even "friendly" countries to North Korea, such as Russia and China, are putting pressure on North Korea and strongly warning against any aggressive action. They are even going so far as stating they would take action if North Korea were foolish enough to commit such an heinous act. There is no doubt that North Korea is even now being closely monitored to ensure that they don't take any further actions. What is not clear, and what should be concerning to many around the world, is whether or not Kim Jong Un is crazy enough to actually follow through with his threats. A nuclear strike would forever change the world and lead to retaliations that could possibly rip the world asunder. Once again, we stand on a knife’s edge and uncertainty abounds.

Dem says Russian subs 'dangerously close' to U.S.

By Joel Gehrke (@Joelmentum) • 3/21/16 9:02 PM

Russian President Vladimir Putin is deploying nuclear-armed submarines "dangerously close" to the United States and European allies, a Senate Democrat said following a trip to the Arctic Circle. "No one is suggesting that Putin is contemplating a nuclear launch against a NATO country, but it's not clear how tethered to reality Putin is," Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy told reporters Monday. "And it should make us nervous that many of his submarines are starting to get dangerously close to the U.S. and our allies." Murphy made the comments while arguing that the U.S. Navy needs to pursue an aggressive plan to replace aging submarines, which can thwart rival countries from gathering intelligence and maintain the security of global shipping lanes. In recent years, Putin's navy has pursued a more aggressive strategy than even during the Cold War, Murphy said. "Russian submarines have been pushing out to the very precipice of NATO-ally waters," he said. "We have seen Russian boats coming closer to the U.S. and to our European partner ports than ever before, in immensely provocative ways — in ways that were rare even during the days of the Cold War."

Declassified Secret Letter Exposes Warrantless Surveillance Program as Ineffective Sham

The Free Thought Project March 20, 2016

The government recently declassified a secret letter, written in 2002 laying out the executive branch’s initial legal justifications for the vast expansion of electronic surveillance after September 11, 2001. Like many others, it was written by former DOJ Office of Legal Counsel attorney John Yoo, and it was directed to the then-presiding judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (“FISC”), Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly. The letter wasn’t a filing with the FISC: instead, in Yoo’s view, it was more of a “heads up”—in the words of the letter, a gesture of goodwill in the interest of “comity” between co-equal branches of government. The heads up he was giving? The fact that, for over a year prior to this letter, the executive branch had been flagrantly violating federal surveillance laws. Of course today we know that the government did this. But one thing that we still hear from government officials is that it was all “legal.” That while pushing things to the “edge,” the government even under Bush, had at least some legal basis for what it was doing. Not so. After fourteen years and lots of hand waving this release gives us an even better picture of the reasoning that underlay years of mass surveillance. And boy is it weak. It’s also a lesson in how to subvert the constitution and law: keep your legal reasoning in a drawer, and tightly control who has access to that drawer. Getting Worse With Age. It has been almost fourteen years since the letter was written, so it might be helpful to glance back at our timeline on NSA surveillance to brush up on the history of post-September 11th national security surveillance expansion. Briefly: the executive branch secretly decided that the express limitations Congress placed in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (“FISA”) didn’t apply. For those familiar with the work of John Yoo’s tenure in OLC, the gist of the basic legal arguments are not new, but for those looking to see how things went so terribly wrong, let’s take a look. Youngstown? Never heard of it. (Or, secrecy permits excessive executive power plays.) In the letter, Yoo argues that the Constitution forbids Congress from imposing restrictions on the President’s inherent chief executive and commander-in-chief powers. According to Yoo, the only check on the executive’s national security surveillance practices is the Fourth Amendment; and any limitations Congress passes that raise this constitutional floor are either unconstitutional (because they intrude on the executive’s inherent constitutional authority), or must be narrowly interpreted (that is, subject to a “saving construction”) that bends them back in line with the Fourth Amendment minimum. With this in mind, Yoo sets his sights on FISA—a law passed by Congress that dictates the terms of the executive branch’s domestic national security surveillance. FISA, and other surveillance statutes, are the “exclusive means by which electronic surveillance and the interception of domestic . . . communications may be conducted.” 50 U.S.C. § 1812. The letter notes that the surveillance the executive is currently conducting “would be in tension with FISA.” Here’s a legal tip: when you’re telling a federal judge you’ve been violating federal law for the past year, describe your actions as “in tension with” the law, not a violation. Nonetheless, at least he noted that FISA on its face didn’t allow the surveillance. But here’s another tip: if you’re going to say that violating the law is ok because the law is unconstitutional, you have to cite the leading case on the question. And that’s where Yoo’s letter starts to fall apart. He doesn’t discuss, or even cite, Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer—the seminal case on the scope of the executive branch’s inherent wartime constitutional powers. And there’s a reason he didn’t mention it: the case is difficult, if not impossible, to harmonize with his desired conclusion. Youngstown involved actions taken by President Truman to prevent labor strikes at several steel mills during the Korean War. Believing that a strike would cause serious harm to domestic steel production while the country was at war, Truman just went ahead and seized them and ran the mills himself (well, the federal government did). But the Supreme Court said that went too far. The President’s inherent wartime authority is not limitless, and seizing domestic steel mills, in the absence of explicit Congressional approval, went beyond that authority. The most enduring legal principle to emerge from the case is Justice Jackson’s test for determining scope of the executive’s inherent power. According to that test, the executive’s inherent power ebb and flow depending on the circumstances. However, the executive’s constitutional power is at its “lowest ebb” when Congress has explicitly spoken, and disapproved, of actions the executive would like to take. The NSA’s surveillance program fails Justice Jackson’s test: Congress, through FISA, set out the “exclusive means” for the executive branch to conduct national security surveillance. It also, specifically, included a provision that dealt with FISA surveillance in times of war. And it did so in direct response to the surveillance overreach of the 1970s, so there’s no room for misunderstanding. That means the executive’s inherent authority is at its “lowest ebb,” and it doesn’t get to pick and choose which authorities apply to its surveillance. (And don’t get us started on the Fourth Amendment analysis.) Too Little Too Late? The government’s ponderous declassification process released this letter far too late to have much more than historical impact. But, in the end, the secrecy clouds parted, and the pattern is clear; we’re back in a place we’ve been time and again. One-sided legal arguments lead to one-sided legal interpretations. The government’s secret process let it get away with drafting an entire 22-page letter that did not even cite let alone grapple with these issues. We don’t know what Judge Kollar-Kotelly did in response to this letter either, something we’d be very curious to learn. But if there is a silver lining in this belated disclosure it is that it came out the same month as EFF was granted permission to begin discovery in Jewel v. NSA. In Jewel we may finally be able to take a closer look at what happened in the past, and hopefully get some clear judicial rulings about it, so that we know how to stop it in the future. Stay tuned.

Crime prediction software used to prosecute people for misdeeds they have yet to commit

Monday, March 21, 2016 by: S. Johnson

(NaturalNews) Are people responsible for actions they have yet to commit? This moral dilemma doesn't just make for fun armchair philosophy. A team of researchers has demonstrated that computers are better than human judges at predicting who will commit a violent act. In a paper published last month, the researchers detailed how they created a system that began with people who had been previously arrested for domestic violence, and determined which participants would most likely commit the same crime later. Authorities can use the crime prediction software to detect patterns. These patterns can help officials recognize a criminal's intent and the probability that they will commit the same act twice. The technology could prevent injuries and even save lives. On the other hand, critics note that such technology is corrosive to the foundations of justice and moral responsibility. In response, proponents insist that police departments already use computers to decipher when and where crimes are most likely to occur. More than half of state parole boards use predictions based on data analysis to determine whether a convict should be released from prison or remain incarcerated. In addition, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security already uses FAST (Future Attribute Screening Technology) to pinpoint potential terrorists, by analyzing an individual's body language and tendencies. The most recent system is simply an add-on to these technologies. Human judgment vs. computer judgment Although the technology is better at predicting the behavior of criminals than human judges are, it is not 100 percent airtight. What makes the recent study unique, is that it highlights how effective the system is at gauging criminal behavior in comparison to experts. "The algorithms are not perfect. They have flaws, but there are increasing data to show that they have fewer flaws than existing ways we make these decisions," said Richard Berk, a criminology and statistics professor at Penn's school of Arts and Sciences, who helped design them system. "You can criticize them -- and you should because we can always make them better -- but, as we say, you can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." Berk emphasized that he only used publicly available data on individuals who had been previously arrested. The system isn't monitoring citizens; however, it is being used to decide if a criminal ought to be r

eleased or detained. Berk has been involved in crime predictive software for more than a decade. By 2008, he had built a computer system that was better than professionals at deciphering which parolees would most likely commit another crime. In particular, Berk used a machine learning system, which extrapolated data from numerous computers until it unearthed a pattern that could make future predictions and be tested against background knowledge. Feeding the machine In a study published last month in the Journal of Empirical Legal Studies, Berk and Penn psychologist Susan Sorenson reviewed nearly 100,000 legal cases, which took place between 2009 and 2013. They used a machine learning system, which collected data on age, sex, zip code, age of first arrest and a list of previous charges like drunk driving, animal abuse and gun related crimes. The system wasn't fed information on race; however, the system did discern racial patterns based upon zip codes. The duo reported that approximately two-thirds of the data was used to "train the system." The remaining data was used to test the system. They fed the computer the same information a judge would have access to, such as whether an individual had been arrested for domestic violence before. One way to ensure that offenders do not commit repeat offenses is to jail anyone charged with domestic violence. However, there is a hefty price tag attached to jailing everyone. Nearly half of individuals arrested for domestic violence are released, according to Berk. The hurdle doesn't lie in releasing half the detainees, but in determining which half ought to be let go. The researchers found that approximately 20 percent of the detainees released by the judge committed the same crime later, whereas only 10 percent of the computer's choices repeated the same crime. Berk and Sorenson are helping the Philadelphia law enforcement use the machine learning system to assign the risk level for domestic violence in households. The parole system is already used in Philadelphia. The machine learning system determines whether city parolees are a low, medium or high threat, enabling police to primarily concentrate on high-risk cases. Ensuring moral responsibilit Nevertheless, it's hard to shake off the uneasiness attached to committing someone for a crime they have yet to commit. This technology isn't limited to criminals, but has implications for society in general. Such software could be used by companies to decide whether they should fire an employee, or by doctors to decide if they should deny a patient surgery. At a more fundamental level, punishing people based on their proclivities corrodes the belief that an individual ought to have committed an act in order to be held morally responsible. A person's thoughts may reflect an individual's character, but we don't prosecute people based upon thoughts alone. In addition, holding people accountable for future crimes undermines the idea that people are innocent until proven guilty. Had an individual known they would commit a deplorable act in the future, they could take active steps in the now to avoid those undesirable consequences. Regarding people as moral agents instead of numbers is the only way to ensure that the state prosecutes people based upon past actions instead of future actions. Feeding a machine physical data about a person isn't sufficient to determine how a person will act, because not all human choices are fueled by physical causes. The ideas of other people's minds, for instance, can cause us to change our minds and make choices that alter the course of the future. Thus, such technology – though useful and potentially necessary in several respects – places too much trust in the hands of machines, and not enough trust in the hands of people.

Killing Coal Means Burying America’s Steel Industry Too

by Steven Capozzola18 Mar 20162,736

Hillary Clinton recently vowed to “put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.” It wasn’t a nice thing to say, considering the many thousands of hard-working men and women whose livelihoods are tied to the U.S. mining sector. Clinton’s comments weren’t a complete surprise, however, given the open hostility exhibited by the environmental Left to America’s extractive industries. Fossil fuels have simply become public enemy number one for climate alarmists, and obviously Clinton and her compatriots hope to combat a perceived “crisis.” But what would happen if Clinton got her wish? How would the United States fare if, moving forward, the country simply designated its remaining coal reserves as off-limits to mining? Clinton and others believe that wind turbines and solar panels can readily step up to the task of replacing coal-fired power generation (which currently supplies 39 percent of the nation’s electricity needs.) But this overlooks a glaring problem, and one that several decades of heavily subsidized R&D have failed to surmount: Wind and solar power are intermittent forms of energy, and they simply do not scale up to the robust power requirements of America’s highly developed industrial landscape. “Renewable” energy currently supplies less than 5 percent of the nation’s needs. A chief drawback is that the wind doesn’t always blow, and the sun doesn’t always shine. And so, renewable power still necessitates conventional back-up generation from gas or coal systems. Renewables also struggle to generate the consistent power demanded by a modern, urban city (for streetlights, schools, hospitals, elevators, air conditioning, etc.) Only gas, coal, and nuclear can reliably undertake such a heavy lift on a continuing basis. But let’s suppose that the U.S. coal industry were to be shut down, as Hillary Clinton hopes. What would that mean in practical terms? First, energy costs would rise significantly, since renewables are hardly cost-effective. Second, and more troubling—the U.S. would need to start importing the steel currently used to manufacture cars, military equipment, and whole host of other industrial products. Why this sudden importation of steel? Because without sturdy electrical generation, it’s simply not possible to liquefy metal or power heavy-duty furnaces and machinery. And even more significant, it’s impossible to make steel without coal. That’s because steelmaking starts with metallurgical coal, which is used to make coke. Combining coke with iron ore yields steel. Let’s be clear about this: The domestic steel industry is already struggling to stay competitive against subsidized imports. America’s steel producers simply can’t bear the twin, added expenses of higher energy costs and imported metallurgical coal. All of this points to what Clinton has obviously overlooked—namely, the intersection of coal, steel, and manufacturing. Take one out, you lose the other two. Yes, it would be grand if renewables were the cure-all for future power generation and industrial security. But they’re not. Conversely, coal-fired power generation has proven for decades to be reliable and affordable. And the kind of research applied to renewable energy has also yielded quantum leaps forward in modern, clean coal technology. Hillary Clinton can have her green dreams. But they are the roots of a nightmare for the U.S. economy. America urgently needs to restore its manufacturing base and create new middle-class jobs. For the sake of future generations, let’s hope Ms. Clinton doesn’t succeed in burying coal, steel, and manufacturing in one fell swoop.

By Peter Oborne For The Daily Mail Published: 20:23 EST, 20 March 2016 | Updated: 16:05 EST, 21 March 2016

Five bodies hang from a pole suspended between two cranes, a public display which serves as a reminder to those who might contemplate a life of crime. They belonged to a gang of five robbers, all of whom were publicly beheaded before their corpses were hoisted high in the air, where they remained for days. The gruesome sight is one scene in a shocking documentary to be aired this week which sheds light on life in Saudi Arabia, one of the world’s bloodiest and most secretive countries. The documentary introduces viewers to a large public space nicknamed Chop Chop Square because it is the site of so many executions in the Saudi capital, Riyadh. The camera lingers on the red-stained drainage system used to wash away the blood of those executed. Police are seen brandishing whips against women, who are considered second-class citizens. At one point they brutally knock a woman to the ground and you hear her scream. In a similar vein, a male supermarket customer pushes a female shopper to the floor for no apparent reason. He then walks past her, oblivious to her anguish, as she scurries terrified out of his way. What the film makes abundantly clear is that the country is a murderous dictatorship which refuses to tolerate dissent. Yet Saudi Arabia remains one of Britain’s closest allies, not just in the Middle East but worldwide, as it has for nearly a century. We sell them arms. They sell us oil. The royal families of each country are close. Prince Charles has made numerous trips to the kingdom and, when King Abdullah died last year, flags at Westminster flew at half-mast in a highly unusual tribute to a foreign ruler. Our leaders conveniently overlook the truth about the desert kingdom. In Saudi Arabia, even a minor criticism of the regime can result in a lashing or long prison sentence. Beheadings, the film makes clear, are commonplace — so far this year, the country has been executing its people at the rate of almost one a day. Ferocious moral codes are enforced by the religious police as they patrol the streets and shopping malls. Blasphemy is punishable by stoning or execution, theft by amputation. Anyone found guilty of insulting Islam faces ten years in prison or perhaps 1,000 lashes. The outside world is kept in ignorance of most of this because it is impossible for foreign journalists to report from or film in Saudi Arabia without minders. Indeed, it is difficult to get into the country even as a tourist. Only because of the extraordinary bravery of the film’s makers, and Saudi democracy activists who helped them, is the truth now being aired. The documentary is based on six months of undercover filming and its footage of beatings and beheadings is disturbing enough. But it also exposes the extremes of wealth and poverty in this oil-rich country. Furthermore, it tells the story of the men and women who dare to speak out against the Saudi dictatorship, and reveals the terrible price they have to pay for their courage. The film, to be shown tomorrow night, is a shared production by ITV and the Public Broadcasting Service in the U.S. This is the same broadcasting combination which caused a storm of international controversy when, nearly 36 years ago, it screened Death Of A Princess, the story of a Saudi princess and her lover who were executed for adultery. In the resulting furore, the British ambassador to Saudi Arabia was expelled and trade contracts were broken off. The film was condemned by the Foreign Office because it offended Saudi rulers, and it has never been reshown on British television. Already, similar pressure is being brought to bear over this new documentary. Saudi activist Loujain al-Hathloul, who campaigns for women’s rights in a country where women are not even allowed to drive — and who was jailed and treated as a terrorist after posting an online video of herself driving a car — has received death threats after taking part in the film. It is easy to see why such an exposé might be greeted with horror by the Saudi establishment. The brutality aside, secret filming in a Saudi mosque shows a preacher spreading grotesque anti-Semitic messages. ‘The Jews have abused, dictated and contaminated the land,’ he says. ‘So, oh Allah, stop them and spill on them the whip of torture, don’t let their flag fly high, and make an example of them.’ The film reveals how hatred is directed at other religions in Saudi schools. One of the secret cameramen asks a 14-year-old Saudi boy what he is taught at school. Back comes the reply: ‘The Christians should be punished with death until there are none left. They should be beheaded.’ But schoolchildren are not just taught to direct hatred at Christians and Jews. They are also instructed to turn on Shia Muslims, a substantial minority in Saudi Arabia. The boy says chillingly: ‘We learn that the Shia are blasphemers. They should be punished by death. We should fight them in the name of Islam.’ The film includes rare footage of desperate Shia in the east of Saudi Arabia bravely protesting against their oppression. It illustrates how one young protester, Ali Nimr, was arrested at the age of 17 and sentenced to be beheaded, with his headless body displayed publicly for two days for his role in the protests. The British Government says it has received assurances that he will not now be killed, but Saudi media reports last week suggested he could be executed imminently. Ali’s uncle, Sheikh Nimr, a controversial Shia cleric, was executed on January 2 this year, along with 46 other men, in Saudi Arabia’s largest execution since 1980. The British Government is well aware of all the brutality meted out in Saudi Arabia. Here is what the UK embassy in Riyadh says in its information pack for British prisoners in the desert kingdom: ‘The Saudi courts impose a number of severe physical punishments. The death penalty can be imposed for a wide range of offences including murder, rape, armed robbery, repeated drug use, apostasy, adultery, witchcraft and sorcery, and can be carried out by beheading with a sword, stoning or firing squad.’ Anyone who protests against the Saudi regime faces harrowing punishments. One blogger, Raif Badawi, was convicted of insulting Islam after making public comments about his government and Islam. ‘The only way to deal with an unfree world,’ he wrote, ‘is to become so absolutely free that your very existence becomes an act of rebellion.’ For comments like this, Badawi, a father of three whose family now live in exile, was sentenced to 1,000 lashes and ten years in jail. The religious police even ban the playing of music in public. The film contains disturbing footage of them smashing a lute which was being played on a beach. The police ruthlessly enforce their militant version of Islam, known as Wahhabism. There is footage of these state-sponsored fanatics forcing women to cover themselves, complaining about them wearing make-up and herding people out of cafes to pray. The official title of the religious police is the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice. Chillingly, only two other movements in the world — the Taliban in Afghanistan and Islamic State in Syria and Iraqhave organisations with the same name. The Saudi government has always denied that it has any connection either with Islamic State or with Al Qaeda. Nevertheless, both jihadist organisations endorse the state religion which Saudi Arabia has spent an estimated $70 billion (£48 billion) exporting around the world. Saudi Arabia denies any link to terrorism, and is indeed preparing to send troops to fight Islamic State in Syria. But this film examines evidence to suggest that there were links between the Saudis and Al Qaeda in the period before the attack on the Twin Towers on 9/11. It is well known that 15 of the 19 Al Qaeda-inspired 9/11 hijackers were Saudi citizens. However, there have always been suggestions that the links ran much deeper, and the film offers compelling evidence that this might indeed be the case. This is a documentary that exposes the deep hypocrisy of Saudi Arabia’s relationship with Britain and the West. Britain is determined to maintain this relationship even though the country it deals with is, by any definition, barbaric. The film even shows how the fearsome Saudi police — who fire bullets at unarmed protesters and activists simply for expressing an opinion contrary to the state’s — are trained by the British Government’s College of Policing. Our nation’s friendship with Saudi Arabia means collaborating with a regime that persecutes its own citizens with a savagery that defies imagination. Some might argue that this domestic brutality is a matter for Saudi Arabia alone. When he was asked recently to justify our relationship with the Saudis, David Cameron replied that the country’s intelligence services have provided vital information exposing terror plots aimed at Britain. Yet this argument is undermined by the undoubted fact that Saudi Arabia exports its murderous jihadi ideology around the world. On the basis of this deeply disturbing film, it is time to reassess Britain’s connection with the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Obama's latest fraud: 'Economic recovery' disproven in just 9 charts

Numbers demonstrate failure of administration's policies

Published: 2 days ago

NEW YORK – The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis updates quarterly a set of nine easy-to-understand charts that demonstrate how Obamanomics, the economic policies of the Obama administration, have failed to produce real economic benefits for the American people. The nine charts illustrate that Obamanomics has dramatically increased both consumer and government debt; driven U.S. workers out of the labor force in a manipulation of statistics designed to allow the Bureau of Labor Services to report an unemployment rate that is artificially low; increased health-care costs despite the passage of the Affordable Care Act; and produced a questionable economic recovery, with U.S. growth rates still hovering at near-recession levels of economic stagnation. This article is an update of a report published by Rachel Stoltzfoos, “Obama’s Economy in 9 Charts,” in the Daily Caller on Oct. 30, 2015. In September 2015, ZeroHedge.com introduced the concept of selecting nine charts to describe the Obama economy from the dozens of charts produced and updated by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. Whether the economy is up or down, Dave Ramsey’s “Total Money Makeover” is a proven plan for financial fitness Student loans The first chart tracks student loans, making it clear that as of the third quarter 1990, there were no outstanding student loans. At the beginning of the Obama administration, in the first quarter of 2009, student loans stood at $146.6 billion. From there, the graph rises steeply. By the fourth quarter 2015, the last quarter for which the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis charted the data, student loans had risen to $945.6 billion. The origin of the student loan program can be traced to Bill Clinton signing the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1993, which set up a phase-in of a direct government lending for student loans that replaced the program of government guarantees of private student loans arranged largely through banks, beginning with the National Defense Education Act of 1958 and the Federal Family Education Loan Program in 1965. In signing the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, President Obama engineered a government takeover of the student loan program, so that today all student loans are direct government loans. Food stamps Under President Obama, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, commonly known as the “Food Stamps” program, has grown from $54.8 billion in 2009 to $69.4 billion in 2014. In January 2015, the number of beneficiaries receiving food stamps topped 46 million for 38 straight months, with 14.6 percent of the population and 19.7 percent of all households receiving food stamps. This represents an increase of 1516.96 percent over the 2.9 million Americans participating in the food stamp program in 1969. Federal debt The federal debt is projected to nearly double under President Obama, with the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis chart showing it has increased from $11.1 trillion in the first quarter 2009 to $18.9 trillion in the fourth quarter 2015. The CPI for medical care services has increased from 149.952 in January 2009 to 186.961 in February 2016, rising from a base of 100 in December 1999. Labor-force participation The labor-force participation rate has fallen consistently under the Obama administration as an increasing percentage of those out of work and looking for work simply give up and quit looking. The labor-force participation rate has dropped from 65.7 percent in January 2009 to 62.9 percent in February 2016. In May 2014, WND reported that the Bureau of Labor Administration in the Obama administration had implemented a policy of making unemployment percentages look artificially low by increasing the number of workers considered no longer in the work force. In April 2014, nearly 93 million Americans were considered out of the labor force. According to John Williams, an economist known for arguing the government reports manipulate “shadow statistics” of economic data for political purposes, drops in the unemployment rate as reported by the BLS have become virtually meaningless. “The broad economic outlook has not changed, despite the heavily-distorted numbers that continue to be published by the BLS,” Williams writes in his subscription newsletter on ShadowStats.com. “The unemployment rates have not dropped from peak levels due to a surge in hiring; instead, they generally have dropped because of discouraged workers being eliminated from headline labor-force accounting.” Business workforce share of income The Bureau of Labor statistics measures labor’s share of the income produced by nonfarm employment, roughly described as employment in the business sector of the economy. The measure is often used to interpret “the worker’s share of the economy,” with a declining index interpreted as a measure of growing economic discontent among middle class employees. The index has dropped from a peak of 103.605 in the first quarter 2007, under President George W. Bush, to 99.350 in the fourth quarter 2015, under President Obama. Median family income Real median household income in the United States has declined from a height of $57,357 in 2007 under President George W. Bush to $53,657 in 2014 under President Obama. The calculation takes into consideration the “Obama economic recovery,” in that real median household income in the United States by 2013 rose to $54,426 in 2013, from a low of $52,605 in 2012, only to fall back again in 2014. Home-ownership rate Home ownership under Obamanomics has continued a straight-line decline that began with the collapse of the substandard real estate market during George W. Bush’s second term in office. The home-ownership rate has declined from 67.4 percent in 2009 to 63.7 in the second quarter 2015. On July 28, 2015, the Wall Street Journal reported that the rate of home ownership in the second quarter 2015 hit a 48-year low, reflecting the reality that fewer middle class Americans can afford to buy a home. Under Obama, an increasing number of Americans are living in rented homes, with the American dream of owning a home no longer an economic reality.

Life Among the Ruins

By KANISHK THAROORMARCH 19, 2016

NEXT month, the Temple of Baal will come to Times Square. Reproductions of the 50-foot arch that formed the temple’s entrance are to be installed in New York and in London, a tribute to the 2,000-year-old structure that the Islamic State destroyed last year in the Syrian town of Palmyra. The group’s rampage through Palmyra, a city that reached its peak in the second and third century A.D., enraged the world, spurring scholars and conservationists into action. Numerous nongovernmental organizations are now cataloging and mapping damaged cultural heritage sites in the region. It will be uncanny and thrilling to see this arch from an ancient desert civilization set against the bright lights of New York. Unfortunately, facsimiles can achieve only so much. Denuded of people, stripped of the rich social contexts in which they were once embedded, antiquities appear just as evidence of the grandeur of the past, the accomplishments of another place in another time. But what did these assemblages of stone mean to the modern Iraqis and Syrians who lived with them? For Salam al-Kuntar, a Syrian archaeologist who works at the University of Pennsylvania Museum, the loss of the Temple of Baal was deeply personal. “I have a special love for Palmyra because the Temple of Baal is where my mother was born,” she said. Ms. Kuntar’s grandfather was a policeman in Palmyra when its Roman-era ruins were inhabited. Well into the 20th century, generations of Palmyrenes made their homes in the shade of millenniums-old columns. The locals taught Ms. Kuntar’s grandmother — who was a young bride when she arrived in Palmyra — how to cook and how to bake bread. Her daughter was among the last generation born inside the ancient city. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, French colonial authorities cleared the area of its inhabitants and dismantled their mud-brick house. That paved the way for the archaeological exploration and preservation of the site, but it also definitively ended ancient Palmyra’s habitation as well as the use of the Temple of Baal, which over the centuries had transformed into a Byzantine church, then a mosque, before eventually becoming part of the village where Ms. Kuntar’s mother was born. When lamenting the masonry and sculpture destroyed by the Islamic State, we can easily overlook this shifting human story. We too readily consign antiquities to the remote province of the past. But they can remain meaningful in surprising and ordinary ways. “This is the meaning of heritage,” Ms. Kuntar said. “It’s not only architecture or artifacts that represent history, it’s these memories and the ancestral connection to place.”

What Is Wrong With Bill Clinton In This Video? Listless And Disconnected During Arizona Appearance - Are Bill And Hillary Clinton Even More Sickly Than What Is Being Reported?

March 21, 2016 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

On Sunday, March 20, 2016, former U.S. President Bill Clinton campaigned in Arizona with former representative Gabby Gifford and her husband Mark Kelly, where Clinton stood behind the couple as they gave their introduction speech, and his appearance has been described as listless and disconnected with what was going on around him. This is not the first time one of Bill Clinton's campaign appearances has had people talking and wondering if he isn't suffering from some very serious health issues, other than just normal aging (Clinton is 69 years old), as evidence by reports in January 2016 of his hands trembling while speaking at an event in Iowa as well as his voice cracking and hoarse, casuing many to wonder if he wasn't suffering from Parkinson's Disease. (See video here) According to the Huffington Post, Clinton has addressed the the issue of his hand tremors back in 2013, indicating that has has a "condition" that comes with the aging process, but the article didn't reveal what that condition is. “I have a condition that sometimes you get with aging,” Clinton said while speaking at an event associated with the Humana Challenge golf tournament, which is sponsored by the Clinton Foundation. “You may have noticed it; my hand has a little tremor when I’m tired and a lot of people do when they’re older.” Clinton revealed his initial worry that the tremor could be related to Parkinson’s, a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects movement and sometimes starts with slight tremor in one hand. “The first time it happened, I had to go get myself checked to make sure I didn’t have Parkinson’s [disease],” Clinton said. Via Healthline we see there are a variety of medical conditions that can cause the type of hand tremors see in January, which include but are not limited to; stroke; traumatic brain injury; Parkinson's disease, which is a degenerative disease caused by loss of dopamine-producing brain cells; multiple sclerosis, which is a condition in which your immune system attacks your brain and spinal cord and; alcoholism. Not only is the health of a former U.S. president newsworthy in and of itself, but the fact that his wife is the frontrunner for the Democrats in the race for the highest office in the land, the presidency, makes it even more so. Hillary Clinton also has been rumored to have some health issues, specifically a "chronic" cough that goes back to 2008, that appears to be getting worse as she has suffered severe coughing fits during campaign appearances. In early January Breitbart News reported that according to law enforcement officials, Hillary Clinton's health problems go far beyond a "chronic" cough, with some asserting she suffered a brain injury that even impacts her ability to walk at times. ......Both of them told me the same thing, that after her speeches, whether she did a talk or a policy speech, she had to sit behind – she would come off the podium backstage – and have to sit and rest before making it back to the car because she was so fatigued, dizzy and disoriented. Cardillo said these two security officials don’t know each other and do not live in the same state, but “their stories were almost identical.” That report was followed with a more recent report about Hillary Clinton refusing to allow press to take shots of her boarding her private jet, with journalists like the political producer for CNN Politics tweeting "Campaign won't allow press to shoot video of HRC getting on/off jet. Tell reporters to get on their plane before Clinton will board hers," in late February. NBC News producer Monica Alba confirmed that report with her own tweet on February 27, 2016, stating "Clinton staff won't allow press to shoot her boarding private jet. Instructed us to get on our separate plane before she got out of the car." The same day Jennifer Epstein, Bloomberg Politics correspondent covering Hillary Clinton and the Democratic primary, reported "Press wanted to watch Clinton board her plane. But they told us she would not be getting out of her car until we got on our separate plane."

Civil War In America Has Become Inevitable Regardless Of The Election Outcome!

As I watch what is going on with the Politicians and their supporters here in the US, I can’t help but feel that there is no good way for this to turn out. Civil war in America has become inevitable. This is the topic of today’s post so grab a cup of coffee and have a seat while I explain what I mean. Society has changed over the years and not for the better I’m afraid. Instead of all of the new technology helping us to become better people, it has instead created a nation (and world) of childlike cry babies that throw a fit every time they don’t get their way. Many have no concept of responsibility or integrity. Back during World War II, young men of about 17, 18, 19 and 20 couldn’t wait to join the military and fight for their country. It was these very same young men that stormed the beaches of Normandy to help us win World War II. Now flash forward to today and you have men of these same ages protesting and rioting because someone said something that hurt their feelings. It is ridiculous what they have become. Now make no mistake, I’m not saying that they are all like that, but enough to make you worry about our future fighting forces. Then you have the thugs that Obama has given rise to as demonstrated by the riots in Ferguson, Missouri, etc. It seems they are willing to fight and go against the powers that be only if it means they don’t have to work and can continue to live off of those that do. It’s pretty darn sad and it makes me sick. All it will take is a spark (like not getting what they want) to set them off and the war will be on. On the other side of the coin, you have American Patriots who are sick and tired of seeing our beloved country going down the toilet. We work to earn a living only to have the Government take it away and give it to those very same thugs that refuse to work. We are mad as hell and are not willing to stand by idly and let corrupt politicians turn this great country of ours into a Communist nation. With so many brave men and women having paid so high of price to defend our freedom and defeat Communism, we will not let it be destroyed. We the people are fighting mad and will defend this great land of ours at all cost.

Here We Go Again: Government Ramps Up Borrowing As Private Sector Slows

by John Rubino on March 21, 2016 · 10 Comments

This morning, US existing home sales plunged and the Chicago Fed’s national activity index turned negative. Both are obvious signs of a slowing economy. Anticipating this kind of news, Credit Bubble Bulletin’s Doug Noland in his most recent column analyzed the Federal Reserve’s quarterly Z.1 Report for signs of changing financial trends, and found something potentially serious. The following three charts tell the tale: First, corporate borrowing slowed dramatically in 2015’s fourth quarter… Writes Noland: “This more than offset the private-sector slowdown, ensuring that overall Non-Financial Debt growth accelerated to an 8.6% pace in Q4.” In other words, monetary policy (QE and low/negative interest rates) has stopped working and now we’re reverting to deficit spending to juice the economy. If this is the beginning of a trend, expect to see a torrent of announcements in coming months touting new government programs on infrastructure, health care and/or the military. It’s as if the people making these decisions have forgotten that 1) the world borrowed $57 trillion post-2008 and got next to nothing for it and 2) the new debt will have to be rolled over at higher rates if interest rates are ever to be normalized, thus decimating government finances. For more on the implications of this latest iteration of the Money Bubble, see Is This The Debt Jubilee?

Profound lifestyle changes heading your way

March 21, 2016 by Paul Driessen

“Dangerous man-made climate change” still animates Democrat and liberal politics. The mantra is driven by computer models that assume carbon dioxide drives climate change, temperature data “homogenized” by activist scientists, and billions of taxpayer dollars spent annually on biased climate “studies.” It’s used to justify a war on coal, restrictions on drilling and driving, cap-tax-and-trade schemes, wind and solar mandates, subsidies as high as $45,000 per electric car, higher fuel and electricity prices, and racketeering laws to prosecute anyone who questions the catechism of climate cataclysm. But even all these actions are insufficient, we’re now told. The 2015 Paris climate pact necessitates even stronger actions – “profound lifestyle changes,” according to a new European Commission report. Even though carbon dioxide emissions have declined significantly overall and per unit of economic output, it’s not enough, European Union regulators claim. People must significantly reduce their energy consumption, “greenhouse gas” emissions, and living standards. The document targets EU families, but its assertions apply with equal or greater force to Americans. Its prescriptions will likely be draconian. However, they will certainly be embraced by the Obama Administration and any government under Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders – all of whom espouse climate chaos claims and prefer a heavy-handed bureaucratic state to seeking compromise and accommodation with a reluctant Congress. Nearly two billion people still have extremely limited or zero access to electricity. Even environmentalists want to change that and improve those people’s living standards, health, and welfare – just not too much, as that would be unsustainable and harmful to the climate. Meanwhile, significantly reducing developed nation levels would be “environmental justice,” equitable, sustainable, and better for the climate. The EU document did not specify the exact nature of these profound lifestyle changes. It merely said they would require a “wide societal debate.” Executive edicts are much more likely. Former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan says one approach could be eating less red meat. That would reduce cancer and heart attacks, he argues – and help prevent climate change, since cattle, pigs, and sheep emit carbon dioxide and methane, another supposedly “dangerous” greenhouse gas that constitutes an infinitesimal 0.0002% of Earth’s atmosphere (two cents out of $10,000). As an alternative protein source, Annan paraphrases Marie Antoinette: Let them eat bugs. “Insects have a very good conversion rate Marie-Antoinette-2-ABfrom feed to meat,” he says. “They make up part of the diet of two billion people and are commonly eaten in many parts of the world.” It’s difficult to imagine the next UN-IPCC climate conference serving roasted roaches, instead of the usual 5-star cuisine – in Lagos, Dhaka, or some other locale on the World’s Worst Cities list, instead of in Bali or Paris. Ditto for the White House or the EPA cafeteria. The worlds’ ruling elites prefer to tell citizens to do as they say, not follow their example. One can easily picture an Eco-Hunger Games, where The Capital’s inhabitants live very well, while offering commoners out in The Districts savory recipes for boiled low-salt seaweed and solar-roasted locusts, accompanied by little cups of recycled “gray water” as a wholesome alternative to super-sized sodas. Cowboy comedian Will Rogers used to say, “with Congress, every time they make a joke it’s a law. And every time they make a law it’s a joke.” But this is no laughing matter. Those who seek to regulate our lives, livelihoods, and living standards want us to pay more for virtually everything, especially the energy that heats our homes, cooks our food, and powers the cars they don’t want us to drive. They prefer to blanket America with subsidized wind turbines and solar panels, and make reliable, affordable oil, gas, and coal off limits. Thanks to hydraulic fracturing, U.S. oil and natural gas production has soared, numerous jobs have been created, foreign oil imports are down, and lower oil and natural gas prices have put an extra $1,200 a year in the average American family’s bank account. Now Mr. Sanders is sponsoring a bill to keep America’s energy “in the ground.” Ms. Clinton would ban all resource extraction on federal lands and regulate “fracking” into oblivion. They will make sure we “run out” of hydrocarbon energy, by locking it up. Climate alarmists are upset that average annual global temperatures have risen 1º C (1.8º F) since around 1850, when the Industrial Revolution began – and the five-century-long Little Ice Age ended. They claim that banning fossil fuels, slashing emissions of plant-fertilizing carbon dioxide, and shriveling modern economies and living standards will prevent a “disastrous” additional 0.5º C increase. They never explain how plant, animal, and human lives are worse today than during the pre-industrial, Little Ice Age era – or why faster CO2-driven crop and forest growth is bad for a slightly warmer planet. They focus solely on alleged risks of using fossil fuels – and ignore their incredible blessings. The stakes are high in these 2016 elections. Not only our energy, economic and employment future, not just our freedom of speech and association in the face of IRS, EPA, UN and leftist intimidation are at risk – but maybe also the right to enjoy a juicy steak, instead of a bug or slug.

Mongolia is hit this year by a "dzud" climatic phenomenon which has killed hundreds of thousands of livestock: Tempearatures as low as minus 67 Fahrenheit (minus 55 Celsius)

Heavy snows and temperatures in some parts of the country reaching as low as minus 67 Fahrenheit (minus 55 Celsius)

Hundreds of thousands of animals have died in Mongolia's extreme weather this year

Mongolia is hit this year by a "dzud" climatic phenomenon characterized by a wave of extreme cold in winter following a summer heat wave

An exceptional climatic phenomenon characterized by an extremely harsh winter has already decimated hundred's of thoudands of livestock in the Mongolian steppes, but international aid is still insufficient and the catastrophic toll continues to rise, warned Red- Cross, Friday. Mongolia is hit this year by a "dzud" climatic phenomenon characterized by a wave of extreme cold in winter following a summer heat wave. Hundreds of thousands of animals have died in Mongolia's extreme weather this year but charities say the crisis has gone almost unnoticed by the world. The combination means that animals can't graze enough during the warmer months to build up the reserves they need to survive winter temperatures that regularly plunge to -50C. With heavy snows and temperatures in some parts of the country reaching as low as minus 67 Fahrenheit (minus 55 Celsius), the global organization Mercy Corps' is supporting Mongolians who are enduring extreme winter conditions – known locally as “dzud”. Through a grant from United States Agency for International Development’s Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance, Mercy Corps team members are providing coordination, logistics and transportation support to ensure that rural communities can access the supplies necessary to survive the winter and protect livestock herds. The effort will benefit nearly 14,000 people in rural areas. “The livestock sector is the backbone of the Mongolian economy, accounting for roughly 30 percent of all jobs in the country,” says Jennifer Bielman, Mercy Corps Country Director in Mongolia. “Because of dzud, thousands of people are facing severe damage to their livestock and household assets as well as potentially crippling long-term economic setbacks.” Related

Woman in haunting photo after Brussels attacks placed in coma

Injured flight attendant has burns over 15 per cent of her body and a fractured foot, but is out of danger. Meanwhile, prosecutors confirm link between Paris and Brussels attacks.

By: Associated Press Associated Press, Published on Thu Mar 24 2016

BRUSSELS—A Jet Airways manager says a flight attendant injured in the Belgium attacks is undergoing treatment for burns and has been placed in a medically induced coma. Bernard Guisset, a Jet Airways manager in Brussels, said Nidhi Chaphekar has burns over 15 per cent of her body and has a fractured foot, but is out of danger. The image of Chaphekar taken right after the blast was one of the most searing photographs taken Tuesday. It showed the 40-year-old mother of two from Mumbai, her bright yellow uniform ripped across her chest. Her hair was caked with soot, and blood streaked down her face. Meanwhile, Belgian prosecutors say that a suicide bomber who targeted the Brussels metro had rented a house used as a hideout for the Paris attackers, and that he had been hunted by police since December. The statement Thursday by the federal prosecutors’ office confirms the link between the Nov. 13 attacks on Paris and Tuesday’s suicide bombings targeting the Brussels airport and subway system. The statement says the Belgian magistrate investigating the Paris attacks issued European and international warrants for Khalid El Barkaoui on Dec. 11. It says he is suspected of renting a residence in Charleroi under an assumed name. Several of the Paris bombers were Belgian or had links to Belgium. The chief suspect in the Paris attacks, Salah Abdeslam, was summoned to court in Brussels on Thursday morning after his arrest last week in the Belgian capital. His lawyer said Abdeslam is not fighting extradition to France, which wants him to face potential terrorism charges. A second attacker is suspected of taking part in the bombing the subway train and may be at large, according to Belgian and French media reports, amid growing signs that the same Daesh cell was behind the attacks in Brussels and bloodshed in Paris last year. The Daesh group claimed responsibility for the attacks in Brussels and Paris, which have laid bare European security failings and prompted calls for better intelligence co-operation and a tougher response to Islamic State extremists.

Brussels bombings: New video shows devastating aftermath of airport attacks

The footage was taken by a taxi driver searching for his son - who worked at the airport

Victoria Richards @nakedvix

A new video has emerged of the aftermath of Tuesday's terror attacks at Brussels Airport, showing the true scale of the horror, shock and devastation of those caught up in the bombings. The footage, which was broadcast by CNN, was taken by a taxi driver who entered Belgium's Zaventem Airport to search for his son, who worked in a food outlet there. The food outlet was deserted and his son had vanished - it was later reported that he had survived the attacks. But the amateur video shows the carnage from inside the airport's departure lounge as rescue workers try to find and tend to the wounded. Warning: This video contains graphic footage that some viewers may find distressing There is debris scattered all over the floor, making it hard for people to wade through to reach the victims. And in one particularly distressing shot, a young baby can be seen standing amid the rubble, crying - while its mother lies somewhere nearby, either dead or seriously injured. Cries can also be heard echoing through the empty terminal from those calling for help or crying out in pain. In another shot, an elderly woman stumbles through the wreckage as she joins other bystanders still trying to make their way out to safety. And in one particularly poignant moment, a single red flower can be seen lying among the debris. The taxi driver eventually finds his way outside of the building, where people lay on the street, being tended to by paramedics or passersby offering comfort. It is one of the clearest pieces of amateur footage yet that shows the suffering of those caught up in the attacks. Two blasts in the airport killed at least 11 people, while a further 20 were killed in an explosion at Brussels' Maelbeek Metro Station an hour later. More than 60 people are still in a critical condition following the blasts, medical officials have said. Isis, or Daesh, have claimed responsibility for the attacks, and two brothers - Khalid and Brahim el-Bakraoui - have been named as two of the suicide bombers.

Hezbollah Warns Israel: We Will Hit Nuclear Sites if Attacked

By Ahuva Balofsky March 23, 2016 , 7:30 am

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah issued a warning to Israel Monday, saying the terrorist group would “exploit” the value Israel places on human life if the Jewish State “escalates its aggression against Lebanon”, The Times of Israel reported. In an interview with al-Mayadeen TV, the leader of the Shiite terror group ruled out a war with Israel in the near future, but said they would know how to respond if their hand is forced. “Hezbollah does not want to launch a war, but the resistance will employ all means to defend Lebanon in case of any Israeli aggression,” Nasrallah said, according to a translation by the Hezbollah-run al-Manar TV. “If the Israeli army escalates its aggression against Lebanon, Hezbollah will strike all the strategic targets in the occupied Palestinian territories [Israel], including the nuclear facilities.” He claimed Hezbollah knows the location of Israel’s nuclear facilities and would have no qualms hitting them if attacked. In February, Nasrallah made similar threats against an ammonia factory in Haifa, prompting Environmental Protection Minister Avi Gabbay to announce the storage facility would be moved to the Negev. The goal in either case would be to maximize casualties on the Israeli side. “There will be no ceiling, limits or red lines,” he said Monday. “We can strike any target we want inside occupied Palestine.” “Hezbollah has managed to raise its ability to inflict heavy losses upon the Israeli army during any war, which delays the occurrence of any imminent confrontation,” Nasrallah added. “The Israelis know that Hezbollah possesses rockets that can strike any position in the occupied Palestinian territories [Israel].” According to Naharnet, Hezbollah intends to take advantage of Israel’s value for human life. “The cost is very important for Israel regarding the casualties and the psychological and economic repercussions. Israel is keen on the lives of its settlers [citizens], and this is a point that can be exploited.” The Jewish people has always placed a premium on human life, in accordance with several Biblical exhortations on the value of every soul. The book of Genesis notes that man was created in God’s image, and in Deuteronomy, just before the Children of Israel are set to cross into the Promised Land, God urges them to “choose life”. Rabbinic wisdom teaches that one who saves a human life is considered as if he has saved an entire world, as the world was initially populated by just one couple. Nasrallah’s intensified rhetoric comes as Hezbollah faces an unprecedented crisis, its forces strained from fighting in Syria, especially following Russia’s surprise withdrawal, and reeling from it recent blacklisting by Gulf Arab states. Nasrallah denied Syria impacted Hezbollah’s operation in any way. “Some think that Hezbollah is preoccupied in Syria, but we have a team that is dedicated to the Israeli issue and everything the Israelis say,” he said, adding that the group had been notified in advance of Russia’s sudden withdrawal from the region last week. Meanwhile, Nasrallah barely mentioned the recent decision by Gulf states to name Hezbollah a terrorist organization.

Why the Elite’s Psyops Against Trump Will Not Work

Dave Hodges

Yesterday, I discussed the psyops being perpetrated by DARPA toward the American people in an attempt to get the people to forsake Donald Trump. This article will reveal some of the psyops techniques, and more importantly, why these techniques, will ultimately fail. The Corporate Controlled Media Six, count them six corporations control 98% of the media. They virtually control everything you read, see and hear. These six corporations are intertwined with controlling forces of big oil, the military industrial complex, the Federal Reserve and Wall Street. They control who gets elected through campaign donations and more importantly, they have brainwashed an entire nation to accept serfdom at the hands of their corporate masters. The corporate controlled media uses specific psychological techniques to control the belief systems of the publicty are applied. Group Think The world of psychological research provides the definitive answer as to whether we should fear our military in the coming storm ahead in the form of a phenomenon called group think. Group think is often described as a decision-making process whereby the group members go along with what they believe is the consensus. Group think has also been used to describe individual acquiescence to authority even when the authority has limited power to enforce compliance. Group think often causes groups to make hasty, irrational decisions, where individual doubts are set aside, for fear of upsetting the group’s leadership and balance. The controversial 1963 experiment, known as the Milgram Experiment demonstrated that with very minimal verbal pressure, and nothing else, approximately 65% of the population will put someone to death based upon the orders of a perceived authority figure. And this occurs when the authority figure, in the Milgram experiment was not allowed to apply any REAL threats. For a complete description of the Milgram Experiment, please click here. The application of group think against Donald Trump is omnipresent. Cruz, Rubio and Kasich are continually driving the point home to American conservatives who gather at political rallies that “Trump is not conservative, he is an insider”, and these descriptions are designed to make people feel that if they want to be on the right side, they will see Donald Trump for what he is, after all, everybody knows. We also see group think applications in and amongst Republican rank and file members with everyone from Lindsay Graham to Mitt Romney bashing Trump by declaring that a Trump nomination would spell the end of the GOP. Confirmation Bias “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the public believes is false.” William Casey, former CIA Director The social psychological term, confirmation bias, refers to the fact that the masses will believe even the biggest of lies, if they hear it often enough. Confirmation bias and group think work hand in hand to enslave Americans into believing in and accepting a self-destructive paradigm. Television MSM news has a filtering impact on the perception of reality. The psychological concept of confirmation bias means that when we hear a message often enough, we come to unquestionably accept the message as authentic and real. And the message is amazingly consistent because only six globalist corporate entities control over 95% of the media. Donald Trump is racist! You have heard it before and you will keep hearing it until every nonwhite person in America believes that if he elected, America will see a race war. Trump has taken heat because he wants to ban all Muslims from coming into the country until we figure out a system to vet the immigrants for being terrorists. But the other side has labeled that as racist. This is indeed a matter of national security. Nothing more, nothing less. However, confirmation has many people of color believing that they are in danger is Trump is elected. If one wants to see racism, one needs to look no further than the George Soros funded “Black Lives Matter” group. Learned Helplessness Psychologist, Martin Seligman, discovered that “Learned helplessness” occurs when an animal is repeatedly subjected to an aversive stimulus that it cannot escape. Eventually, the animal will stop trying to avoid the stimulus and behave as if it is utterly helpless to change the situation. Even when opportunities to escape are presented, this learned helplessness will prevent any action”. Phase One In the first phase of the learned helplessness experiment, Seligman placed a dog on an electrical grid, shocked the dog and noted that the dog would demonstrate the ability to escape the aversive stimulus. Phase Two In the second phase, the dog was barricaded on the grid and was unable to escape the painful shocks. Eventually the dog laid down and passively accepted the shock. Phase Three Seligman then removed the barricades and the dog could have easily escaped the shocks. However, the dog, conditioned by the prior set of events, simply laid down and accepted the shocks, without mounting any resistance whatsoever. This is the present day GOP. Learned Helplessness Perpetrated by the GOP This is how present day America has been conditioned to not act in the fact of absolute criminal behavior coming from the criminal elite. We hold primary elections, but then tell the people that their vote does not matter. “Political parties, not voters, choose their presidential nominees, a Republican convention rules member told CNBC, a day after GOP front-runner Donald Trump rolled up more big primary victories. ”Haugland, an unbound GOP delegate from North Dakota, told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Wednesday. He even questioned why primaries and caucuses are held.” The media has been filled with this message from multiple sources. The obvious question is “Why vote?” That is the objective. Subsequently, the American people give up as a country in trying to change things because the system has been so unresponsive to the demands of the public, we have become conditioned to believe that their actions will not make any difference. Intellectual Plagiarism It is a well-known Sun Tsu strategy that if one is facing a superior force in battle, one should mix with the enemy, grab him by his belt buckle and hope that the enemy confuses friend with foe and kills more of his own than of the enemy. This seems to be the strategy of Ted Cruz, the only real challenger left standing in opposition to Donald Trump. Lyin’ Ted Cruz sleeps with the enemy with his CFR, Goldman Sachs wife who supported all of the free trade agreements. But now, he is parroting Trump when he says he’ll force these jobs to come back to America. He never said this before…. Now he sounds like Trump. And in the aftermath of the Brussels attack, he said he would patrol Muslim neighborhoods. And this is after he called Trump Islamaphobic for wanting to vet all immigrants. Why the Media Ploys Will Not Work I have discussed at length the 10 percent factor discovered by SNARC. When 10% of the people are committed to an ideal, the trend spreads like wildfire. America has crossed that threshold because of Donald Trump. Further, follow up research on the Milgram Experiment determined that when people know about the tendency to obey authority figures, the percentage of people who complies with these types of requests diminishes. In short, these psychological strategies will not work, the criminal elite sqmetals waited too long to implement them. So what is next? In Part Three of this series, I will explore the options available to the criminal elite when it becomes clear that the psyops being committed on the American people is not working. Fasten your seatbelt, America is in for some very dark days.

Why Islam Lops Off Heads, Christianity Doesn’t, and Trump Is Right

Posted on 23rd March 2016 by Stucky in Economy Christianity, Islam, Reformation, Trump

Horrific, is it not? But, it shouldn’t be surprising. Not when one considers the statistical fact that since September 11, 2001, followers of the Religion of Peace have committed more than 27,000 deadly terrorist attacks in the name of Islam. Neither is it surprising that Danish linguist Tina Magaard, after leading a team of researchers who for three years studied the texts of the holy books of the world’s ten biggest religions and interviewed 45,000 subjects concluded that; —- “The texts of Islam are clearly distinct from the other religions texts as they, to a higher degree, call for violence and aggression against followers of other faiths. There are also direct incitements to terror. … Moreover, in the Qur’an there are hundreds of invitations to fight against people of other faiths.” No, to those of us who have eyes and ears and the intellect to cast aside the pure “Islam is peace” bovine-excrement thrown in our faces by the Tolerance&Inclusion panoply of liars, none of this is a surprise. What may be a surprise, especially to those who haven’t completely read the Old Testament, is that the Bible is every bit as violent as the Koran. There are thirty six (36!!) different offenses in the Bible which qualify for capital punishment. Here are a few of them; — cursing parents, working on the Sabbath, premarital Sex (girls only), disobedience (boys only), worshipping any god but Yahweh, witches, loose daughters of clergy, girls who are raped within the city limits, blasphemers, anyone who proselytizes Yahweh worshipers to a different religion, men who lie with men, adulterers, men who lie with beasts (btw, the beast is also put to death … so think about that before you decide to boink your toy Poodle). (References: Leviticus 20:9 — Exodus 31:15 — Deuteronomy 22:20 — Deuteronomy 21:18 — Deuteronomy 17:2-5 — Exodus 22: 18 — Leviticus 21:9 — Deuteronomy 22:23-25 — Leviticus 24:16 — Deuteronomy 12:6 — Leviticus 20:13 — Leviticus 20: 10-12 — Leviticus 20:15)

It’s in the Bible. God’s word! These are commandments, NOT suggestions. So, in the last two thousand years how many children who have cursed their parents has Christianity put to death? I believe the correct answer is …. zero. In America, Christianity has killed people for only one of the above offenses; about 20 people were executed for witchcraft in Salem, MA., and that was about 325 years ago. The most logical question to ask is, “Why aren’t Christians faithfully obeying God’s commandments in the same manner and fervor as Muslims obey the Koran? Are we less faithful?” The answer to that can be found in The Reformation. THE CHRISTIAN REFORMATION My intent is not to turn this into a doctrinal essay so, I’ll keep this brief … a view from 50,000 feet. None of what follows is a criticism of Catholicism. Rather, it is an indictment of human nature when fallible and weak humans are given unlimited power.

In the 1,500 years prior to the Reformation there was but one church – the Roman Catholic Church (RCC). How, what, when, and where to worship and believe was determined entirely by a small group of elite leaders, culminating with the Pope. Popes eventually became as powerful, if not more powerful, than kings. Corruption became the norm. They lived in splendor, and the people in squalor. The Reormers believed the Church bastardized the essence of Christianity with questionable “doctrines” which more often than not were established merely to enrich the Church’s coffers. For example, the utterly evil practice of selling Indulgences — the world’s first “get out of jail free” card — to escape hell and go to heaven (if you could afford it). The RCC was able to hold on to such power to a large extent because of the doctrine of Apostolic Succession — the claim that the RCC has a unique authority over all other churches and denominations because the Popes can trace their lineage directly all the way back to the Apostle Peter. God no longer spoke directly to believer’s hearts. No! God now spoke directly and only to The Pope. Humanity, which once was the direct object of God’s love has become nothing but a pawn to be used and abused as the elite saw fit. All dissent was silenced. The occasional foolish believer who dared speak out against these abuses would find himself tortured, killed, or excommunicated (a fate which in that era was often worse than death). And then one day, along came Martin Luther – and he changed everything. Albeit, not without much violence and bloodshed — for those in power never ever give up their place in the universe without first inflicting even more pain and horror than ever before on the poor souls under their thumb. Reformation and suffering work in tandem. At the heart of the Reformation was the desire to answer four basic questions; —- 1) How is a person saved? —- 2) Where does religious authority lie? —- 3) What is the church? —- 4) What is the essence of Christian living? The answers to those questions — which changed everything by uprooting the monolithic power of the RCC — is summed up in the 5 “Sola” declarations; —-1) “Sola Scriptura” (Scripture Alone) —- Affirms that the Bible alone is the sole authority for all matters of faith and practice. —-2) “Sola Gratia” (Salvation by Grace Alone) —- Affirms that salvation from God’s wrath is by God’s grace alone. Grace is the sole efficient cause of salvation which raises us up from spiritual death to spiritual life. —-3) “Sola Fide” (Salvation by Faith Alone) —- Affirms justification is by grace alone through faith alone because of Christ alone. Nothing man can do on his own will save him. —- 4) “Solus Christus” (In Christ Alone) —- Affirms that salvation is found in Christ alone. His sinless life and substitutionary atonement alone are sufficient for our reconciliation to God the Father. —- 5) “Soli Deo Gloria” (For the Glory of God Alone) —- Affirms that salvation is of God and has been accomplished by God for His glory alone. HOW THE REFORMATION SET US ALL FREE Ok, great! So, what does this all mean? I’ll tell you. Hold tight and read carefully for comprehension because this is extremely important. 1)— The Reformation laid down once and for all the right and obligation of the individual conscience, and the right to follow the dictates of that individual conscience. Do you grasp what this means? In one word ….. Liberty! We in the West talk a good talk about “liberty”, but too few realize and understand that they owe their liberty to this event. 2)— Individual conscience allowed believers to reconsider how the Word of God was received, and its effectual operation in their lives. For the first time in hundreds of centuries people of faith could read for themselves how God chose to reveal himself in the written Word which, according to 2 Timothy 3:16 is as follows; — “All Scripture is INSPIRED by God ..”. No longer did they have to believe that every single word of the Bible was dictated by God (as Islam believes about the Koran) which only an elite clergy could interpret. 3)— By understanding that Scripture was inspired, and not dictated, this allowed believers to “re-interpret” Bible verses and even entire passages without fear that they were altering God’s Word 4)— The ability to “re-interpret” Scripture without fear of being banned as a heretic led to an avalanche of scholarly work. New ideas, previously suppressed by the brute authority of the RCC, now flourished in vast abundance. Human brains, previously dormant for 1,500 years, were once again put to use. (See “Special Note” below.) 5)— One of the very most important of these (many) new ideas was that God works differently in different eras. God is not like a rigid stone but, rather, has a heart of flesh. So, while the death penalty for many sins may have been sufficient and necessary at one time during the Age of Law, that same death penalty was totally unnecessary in the Age of Grace. THAT, dear friends, is why Christians no longer kill adulterers. And, as you will soon see, the lack of all of the above is why Islam still does. [Special Note: Modern Science as a discipline is a fruit of the Reformation. Science could not have developed to the same degree amongst those who worship Allah, because of Islam’s fatalism. Science did not flourish to its potential under Hinduism or Buddhism because of their belief that the world is an illusion. Humanists believe that life is irrational and illogical, and by rejecting absolutes, humanists reject the very foundation of science. If there are no absolutes in nature, then results in experimentation can only be relative. If everything is relative, then engineering, and all other branches of science, becomes difficult, if not impossible. Science needs a proper philosophical base for investigating the universe and only Christianity provided that base because a Creator established laws for people and laws for the natural world. This created world would then be expected to have design, order and purpose … which science now could study unhindered by philosophical roadblocks. Francis Bacon, the father of the scientific method put it this way; — “There are two books laid before us to study to prevent us falling into error; first, the volume of the Scriptures which reveal the will of God; then the volume of the Creatures, which express His power.”] THE ISLAMIC REFORMATION Just kidding. There hasn’t been an Islamic Reformation. The religion is interpreted and practiced in the same anachronistic manner today as it was back in 610AD. And, by all indications, there won’t be any reformation in the foreseeable future. THE REASONS FOR THE EXTREME DIFFICULTY IN REFORMING ISLAM Islam Basics: Islam comes primarily in two flavors; Sunni (about 80%) and Shia (about 15%). Sufiism and a handful of other mostly obscure denominations make up the remainder. The major division between Shia and Sunni concerns the death of Muhammad, and the question of who was to take over the leadership of Islam. Sunnis believe Mohammed wanted the new leader to be whomever was capable of the job. Shias wanted to keep it in the family, so upon Mohammed’s death leadership passed directly to his cousin/son-in-law. Over this triviality both groups have been killing each other ever since. Shias also have a little bit of “Catholic fever” going on. They believe their spiritual leaders (Imams) are sinless by nature, and that their authority is infallible because it comes directly from God. Imams are often venerated as saints and Muslims perform pilgrimages to their tombs and shrines in the hopes of divine intercession. The only other contentious religious difference between Shiite and Sunni Muslims concerns the Mahdi, which is Arabic for “guided one“. Both groups perceive the Mahdi as the sole ruler of the Islamic community. But while the Sunnis hold that the Mahdi has not yet been born and anticipate his arrival, the Shiites believe that the Mahdi was born in 869 A.D. and will return to Earth under Allah’s orders. Sunni and Shia agree with each other in all other major tenets of Islamic faith, such as the Six Elements of Belief and the Five Pillars. There have probably been less than twenty Islamic scholars in the past hundred years attempting a serious discussion on reforming, at a minimum, at least certain aspects of Islam. Several were put to death, and not one came even close to reforming mainstream Islam (Sunni and Shia). One modern day entry calling or an overhaul of Islam is Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali born Muslim, an ex-Dutch politician, and a critic of Islam in its current form. In her book “Heretic” she proposes five tenets of the faith that must be “reformed or discarded”, which we will now examine. 1)- Realize that Mohammed was not infallible One should stop being an “apologist” for The Prophet, and examine his entire life, evaluate his actions at face value, and then use common sense to determine his infallibility. For example; he created a great many widows and orphans, sold many into slavery, the extremely young and pretty girls became his “wives” (wink, wink), he once had a woman killed as she slept in her bed surrounded by her six children because she disagreed with him, he contradicted himself – often in the same chapter (sura) such as when he said “whoever killed a human being…shall be regarded as having killed all mankind,” yet, that was followed immediately by the notice that all those who oppose him “shall be slain or crucified”. You see, the question of infallibility is really a quite simple one. A preponderance of evidence is not necessary to disprove infallibility. Infallibility is shattered at the first occurrence of a wrong-doing, a mistake, or an error. For a more complete list of Mohammed’s fallible actions as found directly in the Koran please see this article “32 Sins of Mohammed”. According to Ayaan Hirsi Ali, one potential solution is to recognize the two distinct periods of Mohammed’s life; Mecca and Medina. Mohammed spent twelve peaceful years in Mecca in an attempt to persuade his fellow Meccans that he was the messenger of God. That message was wholeheartedly rejected. So, Muhammad migrated with his followers to Medina … where he began to use more forceful militaristic means of persuasion; raiding, looting, assassination, and warfare. Ali recommends that Muslims retain the more spiritual, religious form of Islam that developed in Mecca, and reject the supremacist and intolerant form that developed in Medina. However, problem arise immediately because Muslims minimize the peaceful years. Mohammed received his first revelation in Mecca in 610AD. But, that is not when the Muslim calendar begins. Rather it begins in 622AD, when he migrated to Medina and commenced his warrior career. What is clear here is that while still in its infancy Islam came to a fork in the road, and they chose the road named Violence. Overall, this much needed reform is a very tough sell, likely impossible. The astute reader will quickly understand that to reform Islam by repudiating Muhammad is likely no different than reforming Christianity by repudiating Christ. So, immediately we find ourselves on the horns of a dilemma. For Islam to change it must come to grips about their beloved Prophet … but, in doing so, Islam falls. The impossibility of reform should be rather clear just from this one issue so, maybe I should just end this section right here and now. 2)- Acknowledge that the Koran “was shaped by human hands” and not dictated verbatim by Allah Islam is bound by the extreme rigidity of the doctrine of “tanzīl” – which states that the Koran was dictated verbatim by Allah. Man’s role in Koranic revelation is one hundred percent passive. It’s like this; God spoke, write it down, now shut up! How, then, is reform possible, when it means arguing with God? This is unlike Christianity which states that “all Scripture is inspired by God” …. NOT dictated verbatim. In other words, a human being receives the Word – via a dream, vision, angelic appearance, hearing God’s voice, God occasionally manifesting Himself in human form, via the Holy Spirit, and many other ways — and only then does that person write about it. It is exactly this active human involvement in revelation —— again, completely absent in Islam — which allows for God-inspired revelation to be debated and interpreted in a multitude of ways. This principle is what allowed Jesus to make of mockery of the Pharisee’s belief system. You might recall than on one particular Sabbath Jesus’ disciples picked some grains while walking through a grain field. Aghast at this turn of events the Pharisees, hoping in vain to trap Jesus, asked him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?” Jesus answered brilliantly, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.” The Law results in slavery, while Jesus sets us free. Such interpretation is absolutely impossible under Islam. Rather it is the other way around; man is a slave of Allah and, therefore, a slave to the rigid text of the Koran. A “modernist” Muslim — limited mostly to Arab intelligentsia in the academic world– will attempt to soften the harshness found in the Koran. Muhammad’s command to “kill the infidels” is rendered as “kill them insofar as they attack you”. The command to “beat your wife” is rendered as “beat her on her buttocks with a feather”. The modernist wants to enter the 21st century while at the same time his religion tells him that a woman is worth half a man in inheritance, or as a witness in court. What does a modernist do when the Koran states in multiple places to cut off the hand of a person who steals? Will he stick to his “modernism” and try to be more progressive? Or, will he revert to believing the literalness of the Koran? When presented with that choice, it’s always the latter because, in reality, he has no choice … not if he wants to maintain his Muslim-ness. The modernist is akin to the little Dutch Boy trying to avert disaster by vainly sticking his fingers in the dike. You see this often in countries such as Egypt, which on a social level, has generally abrogated the Islamic law of apostasy. However, when the powers are confronted with an actual case of conversion from Islam to a religion other than Islam, then the full fury of Islamic zeal boils up in their blood, and they begin to demand that the apostate be killed. They can’t stand the idea of somebody choosing something else over Islam. Why? Because Allah willed it …. by specifically dictating in the Koran to literally murder apostates. How in this world does one reform such a religion?

3)- Emphasize the rewards of this life, as opposed to the rewards in the afterlife Let’s keep this one simple. Sex. Sex. Sex. Sex. Sex. Sex. More sex. Sex. Day and night. Sex. Night and Day. Sex. Sex. Sex. For all eternity. Sex. Sex. Sex. Sex. 72 wide-eyed maidens of Paradise. Bang, bang, bang that booty … and don’t worry about getting bored or tired because the Koran says “her attraction never lags nor his arousal ever wanes.” For an erection lasting more than 1,000 years please call 1-800-Softdik. Sex. Sex. Sex. A Muslim theologian named al Ghazali (died 1111 AD) even wrote – “Each time we sleep with a houri we find her virgin. Besides, the penis of the Elected never softens. The erection is eternal; the sensation that you feel each time you make love is utterly delicious and out of this world and were you to experience it in this world you would faint. Each chosen one will marry seventy houris, besides the women he married on earth, and all will have appetizing vaginas”. WooHoo!! Eternal erections! Perpetual virgins! (Now, THAT’S a neat trick! “Step right in ladies to Allah’s Perpetual Hymen Repair Shop. No fuss. No muss. No charge. Make sure you ask about our Anal Lubrication Service.”). Tasty vaginas!! What’s not to like! Sign me up!! See what’s going on here? Life here on earth becomes utterly meaningless when the next life promises an eternal fuck-fest. Then again, can a Muslim man – or any man — give up their dreams of a Heavenly Harem of Hotties? Here’s what happens when you live in the “here and now” as opposed to the “bye and bye”. ———- The Jews rarely speak of the afterlife. The world’s total Jewish population in 2015 does not exceed 15 million peopleor, 0.2% of the world’s population. Yet, 194 Jews have been awarded the Nobel Prize … accounting for 22% of all individual recipients worldwide between 1901 and 2015. ———- Muslims are consumed with the next life. There were 1.7 billion Muslims in the world …. or, 23% of the global population. In the 21st century just twelve (12 !!) Nobel Prize winners have been Muslims. And seven of those twelve were the ridiculous Peace Prize. Moral: you’ll never make this world a better place if all you think about is pussy in the next. Until Muslim men give up this idea of an eternal futuristic Sexual Fantasy Camp, don’t expect a reformation in the here and now. 4)- Reject all elements of Sharia law which are “violent, intolerant, or anachronistic.” The Islamic Law, shari’ah, is not some add-on to the faith (such as, for example, ‘speaking in tongues’ is to some Christians), something that would be nice-to-have but no big deal if not. No! Sharia Law is part and parcel of Islam, a non-negotiable fundamental, because it is based on the authoritative text of the Quran and confirmed by the Traditions of Mohammad. There. Is. No. Choice. Islam is much more than just another religion. Mohammad’s military tactics in Medina finally culminated in victory for Allah, Mecca was conquered, and then the people of Arabia had no choice but to “submit” to Mohammad, the conqueror of Mecca. The Koran intended that Islam from its inception be both an ideology and a political way of life, and by way of force whenever necessary. You people who have no problem with opening America’s borders and accepting Muslims en masse better hope they don’t become powerful enough to enact the poll tax. Once again, a Muslim is obligated to obey the plain text of the Koran which unequivocally states — “An infidel who has to pay his poll-tax, jizya, should be treated by the tax collector with disdain; the collector remaining seated and the infidel standing before him, the head bent and the body bowed. The infidel should personally place the money in the balance, while the collector holds him by the beard and strikes him on both cheeks.” But, perhaps you don’t care because you don’t have a beard. OK, so you don’t have a beard. What will you do about your Christianity, or if not a Christian, then your Christian heritage? (The Koran makes no distinction between the two. You are an infidel, regardless.) Do you have the foolish hope that maybe somehow Islam will reinterpret the following command to mean something kinder and gentler? — “Believers, take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your friends. … Garments of fire have been prepared for the unbelievers. Scalding water shall be poured upon their heads, melting their skins and that which is in their bellies. They shall be lashed with rods of iron.” Of course, right about now, someone is getting ready to respond to my “Islamophobia” by citing some Koranic verse that says something nice about unbelievers …. verses which constitute at best only 3% of the verses in the Koran Meditate on the following. How can a God who made all people ever allow a human being to violate the dignity of another human created in His name?? The Christian God actively seeks man, has made everything for man, and for man’s sake He takes the initiative of love. Man reciprocates that love and realizes that his true Paradise is to make God the goal of his life. The Biblical God calls man “his friend”. The Dignity of Man is an unknown concept to Islam. To Allah, man is but an annoyance, to be subjugated, ruled over, humiliated, and beaten down whenever necessary. Christianity advocates freedom of man …. Islam, man’s slavery. One brings the message of liberation, the other, of submission. How does one reform such a religion? 5)- Reject political Jihad It makes sense to judge a man by his whole life, rather than by just a segment of it. That being said, we all do put more weight on the latter portion of that life. The young Saul ruthlessly persecuted and killed Christians. Augustine, by his own admission, was a most zealous sinner as a young man. What we do is forgive a saint’s earlier sins if he makes up for them later in life. Saul (who became Paul), Augustine, and countless other Christian saints were profoundly and dramatically changed for the better after their conversions. Mohammed completely reverses the order. Even before his first revelation there is no evidence that Mohammed was a sinner who found God and decided to repent and change his ways. It seems he was a model citizen, a trustworthy merchant, a man faithful to one wife. As mentioned previously, his stay in Medina was relatively peaceful – perhaps because his followers never numbered more than one hundred. Then came Mecca. After twelve years, perhaps his revelations in Medina grew in scope and importance (in his head) as he developed an increased sense of his own importance. As he gathered many more followers, Mecca enabled him to go on the offensive; moral rules were more easily compromised, he acquired concubines and wives, reneged on his promises, engaged in slave trading, massacred defenseless civilians, and sinned more boldly and openly. Suppose that six months before his crucifixion, Jesus Christ decided to order assassinations, sanctioned rape … and even committed rape, and engaged in other immoral and violent acts. Wouldn’t that cast doubt on his entire previous ministry?? Wouldn’t it cast doubt on the entirety of Christian revelation? Of course, it would! Would you follow this man? Imitate him, as called for in the Bible? Yet, all Muslims consider Mohammed the model to imitate in every detail. If you believe nothing else written so far, then I beg you to at least believe this; — there are many verses in the Koran about jihad, and all jihad rests on two massive pillars; War and Deception. Our Western “leaders” – and their many sheep-like followers — are incapable of realizing that this deception and violence practiced by Islam’s prophet can only lead to deception and violence performed by its followers … no matter where they live. Logically, how can it be any different?? Why, oh why, do we not understand that the imitation of Mohammed by Muslims and the imitation of Christ by Christians leads in entirely different directions? They are not like us. They won’t become like us just because they move here. All this being said, and forgetting even the first four suggested reforms, Islam could stop being the world’s pariah if they only adopted the principle of “No Jihad”. Learn the lesson we all learned in kindergarten; learn to play nice with others. Stop deceiving, hating and killing other people simply because they disagree with you. Sadly, they just can’t do even that. They must follow Mohammed’s example … to the tee. How does one reform a religion like that?

WHAT IS ISLAM”S RESPONSE TO THESE SUGGESTIONS? The Muslim world, and unsurprisingly even the Western press, have reacted in typical fashion – heaping scorn upon scorn upon Ms. Ali, calling her a lesbian, deranged, evil, hateful, an atheist whore, and dangerous. It’s just the typical nonsensical ad hominem attacks when truth can’t be answered any other way. Here is a typical article. Her efforts at reforming Islam have resulted in a fatwa calling for her death. Ms. Ali collaborated with Theo van Gogh on a film about Muslim woman. Of course, van Gogh was murdered in 2004, and a message was left stuck into his chest with a knife saying that she was next. Freedom of thought, such as the freedom to explore alternative ways to live their Holy Scriptures, is virtually non-existent in the world of Islam. Muslims, especially those in the Arab world, are designed to either cow or be cowed, to be the oppressive dictator, or be the oppressed. In other words, perhaps this is the greatest reason why Islamic reform is impossible ….. they don’t want it. Such people will never know freedom. Nay, they can never even comprehend it. Baha’u’llah —- THE HOPE OF ISLAM? What is the point of reforming a religion founded by a man, possibly mentally deranged, who committed so much evil on this earth? A man who; lied, deceived, raped, tortured, raided, looted, massacred and subjected billions of people over the last 1,700 years to live in a constant state of fear and slavery? Why should his memory be honored? Thousands of religions have been discarded in the trash heap of human history. Why not this one? It is time. “Well, that was harsh you Islamophobe piece of crap!”, you might say. Well, Baha’u’llah gave serious consideration on reforming Islam. He came to the same conclusion; Islam simply cannot be reformed. So, he started a new religion, Bahai. It has similarities to Islam, taking only the good, and for more information on that — (I’m not a Bahai expert, and don’t have the time or energy to become one.) – then go here. Or, go directly to the Bahai Web Site, here. Baha’u’llah sad he received a new revelation from the same God who revealed himself to Mohammed, and he told the Muslims; —- beforetime Allah told you to slay unbelievers …. now He wants you to love all the people irrespective of their faiths — beforetime Allah told you women are deficient in intelligence and to beat them if they disobey ….. now He says men and women are equal and to educate your daughters for they will give birth to future generations — beforetime Allah told you all non-believers will go to hell …. now He says it’s your deeds that matter and your faith without good deeds is worthless and that He is not going to discriminate against anyone because of his belief. It’s the purity of heart that matters not what you profess with your tongues. — beforetime Allah told you “fighting is good for you,” …. now He is tired of all the fighting and says fighting should be left to ferocious beasts — beforetime Allah promised you virgins ….. now he says there are no virgins, and the rewards are all spiritual in nature, like joy and love. — beforetime Allah spoke of hellfire …. now He says there is no punishment, except the regret that you’d feel for losing the chance to develop spiritual limbs in this world. — beforetime Allah built a huge rotisserie to burn humans for disbelief ….. now He has shut it down, and He wants you to obey him for the love of Him alone and not because you fear him. From the bowels of Islam is birthed a beautiful religion of peace and love. Comparing the two religions, why, oh why, in the world would anyone choose Islam? Naturally, Baha’u’llah was put in a dungeon and spent the rest of his life in exile, and the people of Bahai faith have been heavily persecuted throughout history. Evil always desires to kill love. Nevertheless, Christianity was heavily persecuted in its infancy also, and look where we are now. Maybe the seed of Bahai will take a while longer to germinate in the hearts of Muslims and “reform” them for the betterment of all mankind. I know that sounds Pollyanish. But, what do we have besides hope? ISLAMIC REFORMATION AS AN ILLUSION The word “reform” is derived from the Latin “refōrmāre”, meaning; to redeem, to reclaim, to renew. In other words it is restoring something to its original form. The Christian Reformation began as an attempt to reform, not the religion, but the Catholic Church. We already mentioned the practice of selling indulgences. There was also simony — the buying and selling church positions. There were also several Catholic doctrinal issues; devotion to and the Supremacy of Mary, the intercession of and devotion to the saints, mandatory celibacy for the clergy, Purgatory, to name just a few. However, these were practices of the Catholic Church. The Reformers did not believe these practices reflected true Christianity. They only rebelled against the Church. They did not question the authority of the Bible. They did not reject the Deity of Jesus. Their intent was merely to reject anything not contained explicitly in the scriptures, and to follow unwaveringly all things explicitly contained in Scripture. That is the essence of the Reformation. At last, this brings us to The Burning Question; “What is there to reform in Islam?” Behold the answer: “NOTHING!”. As just stated, reform means to restore something to its original form. But, TODAY’S Islam IS in its original form! In theology, in belief, and in practice the religion in 2016 mirrors the religion of 622AD. Nothing. Has. Changed. So, what is there to reform? That’s why there’s no such thing as an “extremist radical” Muslim, or even a “moderate” Muslim. Someone said a radicalized Muslim will blow you up, while a moderate Muslim will be happy about it. Look … a Muslim is a Muslim is a Muslim. Qualifiers are irrelevant, and not required — other than a tool used by politicians and media whores to obfuscate, complicate, conceal, perplex, darken, confound, baffle and generally just bullshitting about the religion o peace to the Perpetually Gullible Sheep. Islam simply is. “Oh, they’ll be nice people when they come to America!”, they say. If or when you hear that, just remember this; that’s the biggest lie you will hear in your life. (Other than, “the check is in the mail”, and that other thing.) The problem with Islam is that it has rotted from the inside. When the core is rotten, the whole apple needs to be discarded … not cut up in an attempt to make it “better”. Every Muslim alive knows exactly the meaning of “reforming Islam”; it means taking the entirety of his religion apart, piece by piece, discarding, replacing, and adding, and then handing it back to him saying, “Here ya go! Your religion needed some fixing .. well, a major overhaul actually … and we repaired it and made it so much better just for you!” How many Muslims do you think there are in the world who would accept that? One percent? Two percent, on a good day? And now you know why there cannot be a Muslim Reformation. Bonus Section #1: AMERICA’S CULTURE vs. SHARIA It bears repeating (so sorry) that Sharia Law is not something practiced by fringe extremist elements who have supposedly “hijacked” the religion. No! It is a fundamental tenet of the faith held by all mainstream Islamic authorities to be the perfect expression of divine will and justice. It is a “complete way of life” that mandates social, cultural, military, religious and political norms. In other words, Shariah is a totalitarian ideology that controls all aspects of life I admit that not all nations with a predominant Muslim population practice Sharia. Turkey, for example, has a “secular” government. Well, I don’t care! Can you guarantee that Sharia will never take hold in Turkey? No, you cannot! All it means is that in Turkey (or any other Muslim dominated country) the necessary ingredients to implementing Sharia have not occurred …. YET. But, the danger is always there. And, you’re a damned fool if you believe America can escape this horrible fate, again, if the right mix of ingredients presents itself. In fact, in some ways, we are already under Sharia. When we are forced to censor ourselves to avoid “offending” Islam or Muslims, then we have just become dhimmis. We become dhimmis when we change our customs, rules and laws to conform to demands of Muslims, or when a Muslim cleric insists on offending the vast majority of Americans by building a mosque next to Ground Zero. We let these interlopers eat away at our own national ideals, our own personal dignity, our culture, and our way of life while at the same time we apologize for being Americans! The possibility that Sharia can eventually come to America – no matter how small the probability – is enough reason to deny Muslims entrance to this country. You might protest, — “Well, you’re just wrong. Stop exaggerating! That just can never happen in America!”. Sure. The Europeans thought the same thing. Shariah unequivocally beyond all doubt rejects the fundamental premises of American society and values: a democratic republic governed by a Constitution written by man freedom of expression (such as being allowed to reject Shariah) that the governed have a right to make law for themselves economic liberty, such as ownership of private property freedom from cruel and unusual punishments equal treatment under the law the pursuit of happiness freedom of conscience individual liberty a FREE people! Even our Founding Fathers understood the dangers of Islam. John Quincy Adams wrote a 136-page series of essays on Islam addressing the threat facing America via jihad and dhimmitude. —- “The precept of the koran is, perpetual war against all who deny, that Mahomet is the prophet of God. The vanquished may purchase their lives, by the payment of tribute; the victorious may be appeased by a false and delusive promise of peace; and the faithful follower of the prophet, may submit to the imperious necessities of defeat: but the command to propagate the Moslem creed by the sword is always obligatory, when it can be made effective. The commands of the prophet may be performed alike, by fraud, or by force.” My goodness! That could have been written in 2016! Nothing has changed (except for the worse). If Adams understood the dangers posed by the Mahomet, why can’t we? For more information check out this article titled “Were the Founding Fathers “Tolerant” of Islam?” here. Lastly, and briefly, can we smarter Americans please put to rest the notion that jihad is only a “personal struggle” of sacrifice towards God to be the best possible Muslim? Yes, it is that. But, it is much more than just that. Why is it that Muslim apologists always pick-and-choose verses which paint their religion in the best possible light? Why do they purposely withhold from us the other half … for example, the 164 verses that specifically refer to jihad against non-Muslims in terms that include military expeditions, fighting enemies, slaughter, servitude, and distributing the spoils of war? Let’s fully appreciate, and believe, what a prominent 14th century Muslim theologian had to say about Jihad; —- “Jihad means to wage war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada, signifying warfare to establish the religion.” Ya got that? Can it be stated any simpler? To a Muslim an unrepentant America will always and forever be the target of jihad until the end of time or, or until we submit, whichever comes first. Yet, a huge portion of Americans continue to live in a state of ignorance and/or denial. Believing that America can continue to allow an unfettered and un-vetted horde of Mahometans to invade our country, and that it will all work out. We are all from somewhere else, they say, a Melting Pot of pure success; Irish and German and Polish and Spanish and Scandinavian and African and from all corners of the globe. See? Ain’t it grand??!! Yet, watch these pie-in-the-sky fools run for the hills as you slay their fantasies with five simple words – “Yea, but they assimilated.” Watch this video. Then answer me this; “Are these people like previous immigrants?” A very recent poll revealed that a stunning 51% of American Muslims prefer Sharia Law to the Constitution. Be careful America, coming soon to your neighborhood. Oh, wait … it’s already happening. Bonus Section #2: THE CLINT EASTWOOD CLASSIFICATION OF MUSLIMS I’ve already proven that there is no such thing as a “moderate” or “extremist” Muslim. They are all one and the same. Nevertheless, people just love and need a system of classification so, let’s go with the title from a 1966 spaghetti western. Good Muslims follow the Koran and the example set forth by Mohammed. Good Muslims are the most likely to become terrorists. For example, political and media whores will shout from the rooftops “The 19 hijackers who wreaked havoc on Sept. 11th were not TRUE Muslims! They were radical extremists!” Are you kidding me? Au contraire! Those people actually practiced perfect faith. They followed the Koran’s call to jihad with perfection, 100% certain that they were doing God’s Will, Allah Snackbar. It is perfect faith which allows a man to kill his own mother because of “apostasy” (Picture above, story here). Be very afraid of the Muslim who strives to follow Islam with his whole heart, soul, and mind. The BAD Muslim The bad Muslim shares similar qualities to a bad Christian. They don’t read the Koran regularly, or at all. They rarely go to mosque. Their knowledge of Islam is quite weak. Because they don’t know what’s in the Koran, they usually don’t have ill feelings towards non-Muslims. Like most of us, they just want to be left alone to live their lives as they see fit unencumbered by religious gobbledygook. If a Muslim moves in next door, you really want them to be bad Muslim. When people say that they personally know 2.3 Muslims and that they are “just like me!”, they most likely are talking about a bad Muslim. When people with Muslim friends or acquaintances regale you with touching anecdotal evidences; that his friend doesn’t support jihad, or terrorism, or Sharia, or the burqa, or beating his wife softly with a feather, or whatever … then that can only mean one of two things. — First, they could be bad Muslims. This is good. — Secondly, they are a good Muslim, but they are culturally American – meaning, that on the surface they have adopted our beliefs about how an individual should interact with society. This is bad. Most Muslims are smart enough to outwardly adopt their host country’s values as long as the Muslim population is a small minority. Playing nice when you are a minority is the smart and prudent thing to do. However, it is pure foolishness to think that just because they adopt American values, that they are no threat to America. Short-term thinking is Fool’s Gold. The adoption of American values is temporary and strategic. All bets are off once the host country’s Muslim population reaches a tipping point — anywhere from 10% to 20% — and Sweden-ization takes root. Screw you and your Western values! (See below; four stages of Islam Conquest.) There’s one caveat to be aware of when it comes to bad Muslims. Some bad Muslims – just like a bad Christian — will admit that they are not good Muslims and hope that eventually (after they are done sinning and living it up) they will summon enough faith to become good Muslims. Then you gotta sell your house. The UGLY Muslim The ugly Muslim knows the truth about Islam … but lies about it. This is the worst Muslim of all. These people will always portray Islam in the best possible way. They will twist all the heinous verses in the Koran and make them sound reasonable or, they’ll just ignore them, pretending they don’t even exist. They are the ones who make the loudest claims about Islam being “hijacked”, even though know it’s not true. They’ll even agree with you that the good Muslims are bad. They will say that Sharia is a terrible idea. How can this be? How can one say they are a follower of Islam while at the same time not follow Mohammed’s explicitly clear commands? This is fishy, blatantly dishonest and hypocritical. You can’t trust these people. They can try to sugarcoat Islam all they want but, what they can never do is change its nature. CONCLUSION There are four stages of Islam Conquest according to this website. STAGE 1: INFILTRATION —- Muslims begin moving to non-Muslim countries in increasing numbers and the beginning of cultural conflicts are visible, though often subtle. They are under 10% of the population. STAGE 2: CONSOLIDATION OF POWER — Muslim immigrants and host country converts continue demands for accommodation in employment, education, social services, financing and courts. They have reached 10% of the population. STAGE 3: OPEN WAR w/ LEADERSHIP & CULTURE — Open violence to impose Sharia law and associated cultural restrictions; rejection of host government, subjugation of other religions and customs. They are now 20% of the population. STAGE 4: Totalitarian ISLAMIC “THEOCRACY” — Islam becomes the only religious-political-judicial-cultural ideology. YOU are now a minority in your own country. Fortunately, much to the chagrin of followers of the faux religion of Tolerance and Inclusion, the United States is still in Stage 1. If Americans want to keep their freedoms and avoid becoming like Sweden, then the only solution is to demand that Muslims stay out of America. They cannot reform. They will not assimilate. To deny this is, quite frankly, to deny the reality of reams of both current and historical data – and all you politically-correct snowflakes offended by this truth ought to go to Ace Hardware and buy a crowbar and WD-40 Lube in order to remove your heads from your anal regions. Look, you are sorely mistaken if you think I hate Muslims. I even say a blessing for them from time to time. “May the good Lord mightily bless all Muslims …. and keep them far, far away, from me!”. That’s all I want. You stay there, I’ll stay here. That is not too much to ask! And, I feel that way because Muslims can NOT do what FDR said they must do; “In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American…There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag… We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language… and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.” Donald Trump, despite all his warts and failings, is the only presidential candidate who understands the danger of Islam. If you value freedom and security for yourself, your children and grandchildren, then consider giving him your vote … for he may be America’s last remaining hope.

Billionaires at that secret ‘Stop Trump’ Sea Island meeting

Posted on March 24, 2016 by Dr. Eowyn | 15 Comments

In 1910, a group of banksters and politicos secretly met on Jekyll Island and birthed the Federal Reserve — a strange public-private hybrid of privately-owned banks that act as America’s central bank with limited government supervision. (See “Federal Reserve’s Secret Taxpayer-Funded $12 Trillion Bail-Out of Global Banks“) In early March 2016, another group of extremely wealthy élites also met secretly on an island a mere skip, hop, and jump away from the infamous Jekyll Island, this time to devise a plot against Donald Trump. (See Trail Dust’s “About the Saint Simon’s Island Meeting“) In yet another sign that Establishment Republicans are extremely worried about a Trump presidential candidacy, a group of billionaires and Republican political élites attended the secretive annual World Forum of the neo-con American Enterprise Institute (AEI), held in a luxury resort on Sea Island, Georgia, March 3-6, 2016. As reported by Huffington Post, the main topic at the closed-to-the-press meeting was “How to stop Republican front-runner Donald Trump.” Borrowing the opening lines of nothing less than Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto — and entirely oblivious to the irony of a conservative mouthing a communist — Bill Kristol, founder of the supposedly-conservative magazine Weekly Standard, wrote in an emailed report from the AEI meeting “A specter was haunting the World Forum — the specter of Donald Trump. There was much unhappiness about his emergence, a good deal of talk, some of it insightful and thoughtful, about why he’s done so well, and many expressions of hope that he would be defeated.” GOP political guru Karl Rove gave a presentation outlining Trump’s weaknesses. Rove insisted voters would have a hard time seeing Trump as “presidential,” which must be why they are turning out in droves to vote for him. [Sarc] Here’s a list of the AEI World Forum attendees: (1) High-tech billionaires: Apple CEO Tim Cook Google co-founder Larry Page Napster creator and Facebook investor Sean Parker Tesla Motors and SpaceX honcho Elon Musk (2) GOP political élites: Political guru Karl Rove Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky) House Speaker Paul Ryan Sens. Tom Cotton (Ark.), Cory Gardner (Colo.), Tim Scott (S.C.), Rob Portman (Ohio) and Ben Sass (Neb.). Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Fred Upton (Mich.) Rep. Kevin Brady (Texas) Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) Cathy McMorris Rodgers (Wash.), Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price (R-Ga.) Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (Texas) Diane Black (Tenn.) In addition to the Sea Island meeting, according to Bloomberg, there are yet other “stop Trump” conspiracies: “A trio of conservative groups not affiliated with any candidate has spent about $28 million against [Trump], mostly on negative ads that aired in the past few weeks. So far, the effort has failed to dent his popularity.” According to FEC filings, contributors to the “stop Trump” conservative groups include: The Warren brothers, Stephens and Jackson, who gave a total of $3.5 million last month to two of the groups, on top of $500,000 last year. Stephens Warren has given a total of $300,000 to super-PACs supporting Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, and Chris Christie, all of whom have since dropped out. The Ricketts family of Omaha, Nebraska have given $5 million since January. New York hedge-fund manager Paul Singer gave $1 million. San Francisco investor William Oberndorf gave $500,000. Club for Growth: A super-PAC run by Club for Growth (CFG), a powerful conservative group that pushes for limited government and lower taxes, is one of the first organizations to take on Trump. According to The New York Times, the super PAC raised $4 million in February, three times as much as it had raised any other month this election cycle. Donors include: The Warren brothers gave $2.5 million in February. Richard Uihlein, an Illinois shipping-supplies manufacturer who backed Gov. Scott Walker’s campaign last year, gave the Club for Growth $500,000. Richard Gaby, who gave $50,000 to a super PAC backing former Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana Robert Arnott, a California-based investor who has poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into groups backing Senator Ted Cruz of Texas. Robert Mercer, who backs Ted Cruz, gave $100,000. A political network led by billionaires Charles G. and David H. Koch, which is the biggest and deepest-pocketed independent political force in the conservative world. ZeroHedge observes: To beat Trump, you need to figure out how to tap into the same anger and yes, in some cases the same perceived narrow-mindedness, of his support base and you need to give them an alternative that addresses their concerns without resorting to the same type of bombastic rhetoric that so alarms the frontrunner’s detractors. Like it or not, Trump’s support base are voters. They’re also Americans. It’s more important to understand what they want and why than it is to disparage the man they think should lead the country. Until someone in the GOP figures that out, the party won’t stand a chance of stopping Trump. See also: Why are they so afraid of Donald Trump?

Government Agents Hired to Argue Politics On-line

AmericanIntelligenceReport / March 23, 2016

Are You Chatting With a CIA Agent On-line?

Kristan T. Harris | American Intelligence Report

Operation Mockingbird historically is a secret Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) campaign to influence media to promote false propaganda or print misleading stories. However, the program has evolved into a new brand of media control using the Internet to spread any propaganda seeming beneficial to the current political climate. Agents create fake user accounts on social media platforms, such a as Facebook, Twitter and others, to argue any ideology they are instructed to. According to RT news, agents have up to “10 fake shill accounts” used to troll and create the illusion of having a genuine network of friends. “They will defend current administration decisions with relentless irrational stubbornness that one can only be paid to do.” Are you chatting with a CIA Agent on-line? It’s possible you may already have. Abby Martin, from RT’s “Breaking the Set,” reported on an up to date Operation Mockingbird with the sole purpose of misleading the public on-line.

How board game that 'predicted 9/11 terror strike' warns of IMMINENT NUCLEAR World War III

THIS remarkable image drawn on a card in a 1990s board game shows an eerily accurate representation of the burning Twin Towers after the 9/11 terror attacks.

By Jon Austin

PUBLISHED: 05:33, Tue, Mar 22, 2016 | UPDATED: 07:43, Tue, Mar 22, 2016

The haunting picture was published with an updated version of the game released in 1995, six years before the devastating atrocity which destroyed the iconic New York skyscrapers. Steve Jackson's Illuminati: The Game of Conspiracy, which first hit the shelves in 1982, was released as a challenging role playing game for people aged 12 and over, who took on the role of the sinister alleged secret society to plot world domination. The Illuminati - most famously featured in Dan Brown's novels - is an alleged secret group made up of the world's elite who conspiracy theorists claim are plotting to introduce a "new world order" which will give them total control over all of us. The fact that a game about such a shady society appears to have predicted the world's worst terror strike has given conspiracy theorists more fuel than they could have ever dreamed of. One theory regularly touted by conspiracy theorists - known as 9/11 truthers - is that the atrocity was actually orchestrated by the Illuminati through US intelligence services to garner support for the series of wars which then unfolded in the Middle East. The card in question, printed in 1995, looks strikingly similar to images of the 9/11 attacks in New York that spread across the globe, with an explosion ripping through the middle of one of the buildings. About 3,000 people died after a series of al-Qaeda terror attacks on US soil on September 11, 2001. Two hijacked passenger jets were deliberately flown into both towers of the World Trade Centre in Manhattan causing them to collapse onto the city below. Where the "prediction" falls down is there is no mention of planes being used and the card itself is described as the "Terrorist Nuke" card. The top of the building is also tipping to the right, suggesting it could be about to collapse. Another card called "Pentagon" shows the US defence HQ burning. The Pentagon was also targeted the same day, suffering serious damage after a commercial plane was flown into its side. But one conspiracy theory is that the planes were a decoy and the twin towers were actually blown up with a pre-planted nuclear device. A new article about the cards was published by www.cuttingedge.org, a website which says it gives "spiritual insights into the New World Order". The author of the piece wrote: "How in the world did Steve Jackson know that the Twin Towers were going to be attacked? "This card accurately depicted the World Trade Center attack in great detail. "The card accurately depicts that the place of impact is some distance from the top of the twin towers. "The caption at the top properly identifies the perpetrators of the attack as "terrorists" "The Twin Towers were not destroyed by a terrorist nuclear device, or were they? "Was a micro-nuclear device used at the base of the Twin Towers? "That kind of small, but nuclear, explosion would account for the sudden manner the reinforced concrete and steel shell simply crumbled into dust as it fell." Turning to the Pentagon card, he added: "When I saw this card, immediately after seeing the Twin Tower picture, my blood froze! Unless one had advanced knowledge of the Illuminati Plan, there is no way on earth that they would have been able to create pictures in 1995 that accurately depict the unfolding events of 9/11." Conspiracists also claim there are cards that foretold of the Japan earthquake and tsunami in 2011 which left 16,000 dead, and even the death of Princess Diana. The Lady Diana card, which appeared two years before her sudden death, shows her surrounded by the paparazzi and flashing cameras. The card comes with the description that she is "immune to attacks by your rivals' Peaceful or Liberal groups…except for the media". It makes no reference to her dying, but the fact she has a card at all was enough for conspiracy theorists, some of whom claim her death was a sinister plot. But it is what the conspiracy theorists claim the game says is coming next which makes it even more worrying. Some claim that Mr Jackson somehow obtained a copy of the Illuminate's master plan and used the roleplaying industry to leak it to the world. This theory is further fuelled by the fact the US secret service DID raid his business address before the game was released. The cutting edge report added: "He got a surprise visit from the Secret Service, who tried their best to shut him down and prevent him from publishing his game." According to Mr Jackson's website, a large amount of equipment was seized, including four computers, two laser printers, hard disks and hardware. The investigation was into suspected "fraud" in connection with alleged hacking. But a judge threw out the case and awarded Steve Jackson Games $50,000 plus $250,000 costs. So what is predicted next? If you believe all this stuff, then worryingly it is World War III. The "World War III" card gives players the chance to unleash another global conflict to usher in a New World Order, which is also featured on it.

Mohammed, Islamic History, and the Bloody Future of the West

March 22, 2016 by Alex Charles Paris, November 2015

Can I ask you a question? Have you ever had that sickening feeling, deep down inside, as if some inner voice was trying to warn you that something is wrong? It almost feels like the harder you try to push it away the louder it gets, gnawing away at your conscience. And even if you try to ignore it… you can’t. Every time there is a new Islamic terror attack and you learn the horrific details, that awkward and nauseating feeling comes back again. It’s trying to warn you, “Something is very wrong.” And after every Islamic terror attack, our politicians and media try desperately to assure us of two things: These “terrorists do not represent Islam” and We are a multicultural society that welcomes Muslim immigration And yet, that inner voice deep down inside you remains… Because your inner voice is correct. Even still, we all want to believe we can live in a perfect multicultural society where everyone will get along. This is a central aspect in Western democracies throughout the world. We’ve been told this our entire lives and we all sincerely want it to be true. But eventually we need to look at the real facts, because things aren’t getting any better… and deep down you know it. Does Western multiculturalism work with Islam? Multiculturalism did not work for the Christians in Turkey, the Buddhists in Afghanistan, the Hindus in Pakistan, the Zoroastrians in Iran, or the Christians throughout the Middle East. In fact, the blood of hundreds of millions of people has been sacrificed on this altar, which is the 1,400 year struggle between Islam and non-Muslims. But surely, our multicultural model will work out fine for us today, right? To understand the past, present, and future, we only need to understand Mohammed. Mohammed is the Key to Understanding Islam For most of us Westerners, it’s very difficult to reconcile the nice Muslim woman at work with the ISIS jihadist beheading Christians in Iraq. Different “experts” only add to the confusion as they debate whether Islam is a religion of peace or a religion of violence. So what’s the correct answer? We’ll just ask Mohammed. The Koran states 91 times that Mohammed is the perfect Muslim. He is the perfect example that every Muslim throughout the world is commanded to imitate. Everything about Mohammed comes from the Sira (Mohammed’s biography) and the Hadith (Mohammed’s traditions). The Koran, Sira, and Hadith make up the entire doctrine of Islam. These three works are called the Trilogy. Mohammed outranks every “expert” you see in the media. In the Beginning, Islam was Peaceful, Tolerant and Multicultural When Mohammed first began preaching the religion of Islam in Mecca, he was generally peaceful and tolerant of other religions. In the Koran, this period of time is known as the “Mecca Koran” and does not contain any mention of jihad. It states, “There shall be no compulsion in [the acceptance of] the religion” (Koran 2:256). Mohammed prayed at the Kabah, a stone building used by many different religions as a place of worship. When political and religious leaders talk about Islam as a religion of peace, they will often use this section of the Koran as their evidence. As time wore on, Mohammed became more verbally aggressive with anyone who disagreed with him. He was eventually driven out of Mecca after 13 years by the local tribes: “Mohammed continued to preach the glory of Allah and condemn the Quraysh religion. He told them their way of life was wrong, their ancestors would burn in Hell, he cursed their gods, he despised their religion and divided the community, setting one tribesman against the others. The Quraysh felt that this was all past bearing. Tolerance had always been their way.” (Sira; Ishaq:125) Jihad Brings Explosive Growth and the Spread of Islam Being driven out of Mecca marked the transition point. The last 10 years of Mohammed’s life is reflected in the Medina section of the Koran where his strategy changed. Mohammed transitioned from a preacher in Mecca to a warrior and politician with one goal: kill or subjugate everyone under Islam. In Islam, the lowest form of life is the Kafir, which is the non-Muslim. After leaving Mecca, Mohammed’s persecution of all Kafirs was relentless, as directed in the Koran: “When you encounter the Kafirs on the battlefield, cut off their heads until you have thoroughly defeated them and take the prisoners and tie them up firmly.” (Koran 47:4) The following passage comes directly from the Sira and illustrates the brutality of jihad in the quest to dominate all non-Muslims: After the battle Mohammed put the Jews under siege for twenty-five days. Finally, the Jews offered to submit their fate to a Muslim, Saad, with whom they had had been an ally in the past. His judgment was simple. Kill all the men. Take their property and take the women and children as captives. Mohammed said, “You have given the judgment of Allah.” The captives were taken into Medina. They dug trenches in the market place of Medina. It was a long day, but 800 Jews met their death that day. Mohammed and his twelve year old wife sat and watched the entire day and into the night. The Apostle of Allah had every male Jew killed. Mohammed took the property, wives and children of the Jews, and divided it up amongst the Muslims. Mohammed took his one fifth of the slaves and sent a Muslim with the female Jewish slaves to a nearby city where the women were sold for pleasure. Mohammed invested the money from the sale of the female slaves for horses and weapons. (Sira; Ishaq:684, 690, 693) Jihad and political persecution under Sharia law produced much better results than being tolerant and preaching the religion of Islam. Image credit: Dr. Bill Warner (CSPI) In the last ten years of Mohammed’s life, Islam completely decimated the Arabian peninsula. Mohammed averaged one major battle every six weeks (not including assassinations and mass executions). When Mohammed changed his strategy to include migration, jihad, and politics (Sharia law), Islam conquered everyone in Arabia. Sharia law is Islamic law based on the three works of the Trilogy: Koran, Sira, and Hadith. Islam dictates that Sharia law comes from Allah and it must replace all man-made legal codes and constitutions. Most of Sharia law is based on the examples from Mohammed, which come from the Sira and Hadith. Sharia law is completely incompatible with all non-Muslim government structures – including every Western democracy. It requires the end of free speech, free thought, freedom of religion, and freedom of the press. This is the political nature of Islam. This is what makes Islam different from every other religion. Sharia law is rapidly spreading throughout Europe under the guise of religious tolerance and multiculturalism. The demands for the implementation of Sharia never stop until all of society is under Sharia law. Dualism: Islam’s Secret Weapon The dualistic nature of Islam is that it is both peaceful and violent. Dr. Bill Warner coined the term dualism to describe the paradox of Islam being both peaceful and violent at the same time. The nice Muslim lady at work and the ISIS jihadist who beheads Christians in Iraq are both following the Islamic doctrine found in the Sira, Hadith, and Koran. This is confusing because we assume Islam must be either peaceful or violent. And since you probably know some nice Muslims from work or school, Islam must be the “religion of peace,” right? The answer is that Islam is both peaceful and violent because Mohammed was peaceful at first and then violent after leaving Mecca. When Islam is weak and surrounded by a large group of non-Muslims, it is generally peaceful and tolerant (Mecca Koran). As the Muslim population grows and strengthens, Muslims become more forceful in the implementation of Sharia law and making political demands (Medina Koran). It is the same trend throughout 1,400 years of Islamic history. Islam is never static. It gradually grinds on, taking over larger and larger sections of the host country. The later (more violent) sections of the Koran take precedence over the earlier (more peaceful) sections. This is called abrogation. With every country throughout history, as the percentage of Muslims grows and Sharia law strengthens, the non-Muslim aspects of a society and culture erode away. This process is slowly and steadily unfolding before our eyes throughout the Western world. Under full Sharia law, Kafirs have no civil rights and are called dhimmis. This practice started when Mohammed subjugated the Jews in Kaybar. Rather than being slaughtered, they were allowed to live by giving up all rights and paying 50% of their wealth as a tax called the jizya: “Make war on those who have received the Scriptures [Jews and Christians] but do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day. They do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden. The Christians and Jews do not follow the religion of truth until they submit and pay the poll tax [jizya], and they are humiliated.” (Koran 9:29) Today when Muslims in Western countries talk about how we can all live peacefully together under “divine law,” this is the arrangement. It is Islamic Sharia law which eradicates all non-Muslim aspects of the culture and society. It is the antithesis of a liberal Western democracy. Islam is a Civilization, Which Extinguishes all other Civilizations Forget about Islam being just a religion that can peacefully coexist with other religions. Islam is much more than a religion. It is an entire civilization that must completely dominate every aspect of a society. Turkey illustrates the gradual process of how a country that was once 100 percent Christian becomes 99.7 percent Muslim (today). Data source: Dr. Bill Warner (CSPI) Germany is the perfect example of this process unfolding today in the West. In the 1960s the German government opened its doors to mass immigration of Muslims Turks. (Note: mass immigration from Muslim countries is still underway in nearly every Western country throughout the world.) Today in Germany we have “No-Go zones” under Sharia law, schools that have been forced to ban all pork meat, the elimination of traditional Christian holidays celebrated by German children, segregated swimming pools, and an increasing number of Muslims who refuse to see doctors of the opposite sex. Berlin opened Europe’s first clinic devoted to treating victims of female genital mutilation – a disturbing practice in Islamic society. As Muslims grow in number, through high birth rates and mass immigration, the results are always the same. The native culture, people, and civilization are annihilated and totally replaced by Islam and Sharia law. Islam commands Muslims not to be friends with the Kafirs: “Believers should not take Kafirs as friends in preference to other believers. Those who do this will have none of Allah’s protection and will only have themselves as guards. Allah warns you to fear Him for all will return to Him.” (Koran 3:28) Integration simply does not work. It can never work long-term because Islam is a civilization that is incompatible with all other civilizations. We see this today as Turkish children who were born and raised in Germany stay in Muslim/Turkish neighborhoods and harbor resentment toward native Germans. The following three factors will quickly shift Western civilization to the right in terms of the graph above: An aging European (non-Muslim) population with very low birth rates Endless mass migration from Muslim countries Very high birth rates among Muslim families Europe may be further ahead in the process than Australia, America, and Canada, but this gradual process grinds on everywhere throughout the West. This is civilizational warfare. And no, your politicians did not ask if you wanted your civilization, culture, and way of life to be displaced. You don’t get to vote on that. Do you see what’s happening to the West? Total annihilation. It’s a slow and patient process that does not stop until a society is 100% Muslim.“They plot and scheme against you [Mohammed], and I plot and scheme against them. Therefore, deal calmly with the Kafirs and leave them alone for a while.” (Koran 86:15) It’s the same strategy that destroyed the Hindus in Pakistan, the Buddhists in Afghanistan, the Zoroastrians in Iran, the Coptic Christians in Egypt, and the Orthodox Christians in Turkey. This strategy of jihad and Sharia law has led to the deaths of approximately 270 million non-Muslims and the total destruction of countless civilizations. The bruised and battered head of Western civilization is now on the chopping block, as our politicians and media prepare us for the final blow. Muslims in Europe The Bloody Future of the West When you understand Mohammed everything makes sense, because history just repeats the same story. Mohammed is the doctrine of Islam and the perfect Muslim, as stated 91 times in the Koran. The myths of an Islamic “Golden Age” are just that – myths. Subjugation under Sharia law could never be “golden” if you were a Kafir (non-Muslim). Just like the 270 million Kafirs who have died before us, the future does not bode well for us Western Kafirs. History is the map of our future. Nearly every week in Europe we get more news connected to “Islamic terrorism,” which we should just start calling jihad. Our politicians and media tell us these people are terrorists, or “Islamic extremists.” But that’s a lie. They are practicing Muslims who follow the Koran and Mohammed’s example. According to the official doctrine of Islam, there is nothing “extreme” about their actions. Islam commands all Muslims to wage jihad against the Kafirs: “They [Kafirs] will be cursed, and wherever they are found, they will be seized and murdered. It was Allah’s same practice with those who came before them, and you will find no change in Allah’s ways.” (Koran 33:60) “Fight them until you are no longer persecuted and the religion of Allah reigns absolute, but if they give up, then only fight the evil-doers.” (Koran 2:193) “Do not think that the jihad is over. Soon Islam will bring terror to the Kafirs.” (Sira; Ishaq:599) “Mohammed: The man who dies without participating in jihad, who never desired to wage holy war, dies the death of a hypocrite.” (Hadith; Muslim:020,4696) No government policy or war in the Middle East will ever change the doctrine of Islam. We can see this trend clearly in Europe. Polling data show that Europe’s younger generation of Muslims strongly support violence to bring about Sharia law: 35% of young Muslims in Britain believe suicide bombings are justified 42% of young Muslims in France believe suicide bombings are justified 22% of young Muslims in Germany believe suicide bombings are justified Muslims are waging endless jihad everywhere in the world where a society is part Muslim and part Kafir: Sudan and much of Africa, India (especially in the north), southeast Asia, and throughout the West. It will only end when everyone is dead or has converted to Islam. This has been the doctrine of Islam for 1,400 years and it won’t change. Are you starting to see the predicament we’re in? The Survival of Western Civilization If you speak out about the Islamization of the West, refugee policies, or mass migration then you are called racist, bigoted, and/or Islamphobic. But this is not about hate, Islamophobia, politics, or refugee policies. It’s simply about the survival of Western civilization. The sad truth is that a multicultural society cannot survive with Islam. History is quite clear on this topic: multiculturalism never works long-term with Islam. Never. Over time, a country will be either by 100% Muslim or 0% Muslim. Multiculturalism is just a transition phase on the path to the final result. And Islam is very patient. It may take generations or even centuries to achieve, but Islam grinds on relentlessly: “Believers! When you confront their army stand fast and pray to Allah without ceasing so that you will be victorious. Obey Allah and His messenger, do not argue with one another for fear that you will lose courage and strength. Be patient for Allah is with the patient.” (Koran 8:45) After Spain was conquered by Muslim armies it did not remain a “golden” multicultural society. No, European Christian armies pushed the Muslims completely out of Spain with force. We all want multiculturalism to work, because we’ve been told our entire lives it’s a fundamental aspect of Western countries. But the survival of Western civilization depends on us facing the facts. We Must Understand Islam Today we are being systematically deceived about the true nature of Islam. Our politicians, media, education system, and religious leaders tell us Islam is a religion of peace while whitewashing all Islamic history. And deceit is a central component of jihad: “Mohammed said: war is deceit.” (Hadith; Bukhari 4,52,267) To protect our civilization we must understand the true nature of Islam: “Any person who rejected the revelations of Mohammed would be eternally punished in Hell. The culture of religious tolerance in Mecca now had a new religion which preached the end of tolerance. Only Islam was acceptable.” (Sira; Ishaq:161) History is very clear: if we fail to change our disastrous policies, Western civilization will be slowly eradicated. The first step is getting informed and informing others. We’re putting a crash course together called “Islam and the West” which should be available within the next few months.

Not for the traffic, but because more innocent people will lose their lives as we fail to address the facts about Islam. This article may get censored on social media, so emailing it out might be a good idea too. Maybe reading this will help wake a few people up to what’s happening. By addressing the real facts we can start making better decisions. Sources for this article: Dr. Bill Warner: An Abridged Koran; Mohammed and the Unbelievers; The Hadith M. A. Khan: Islamic Jihad

PASTORS LOOKING TO THE STATE FOR PROTECTION FROM HOMOSEXUALS

By Coach Dave Daubenmire March 24, 2016 NewsWithViews.com

I now think that I have just about heard of it all. In my wildest dreams I could not have imagined such diabolical legislation could enter into the heart of a minister of the Gospel. Yes…diabolical…you read that right. Diabolical has as its root diabolos, which is Spanish for Devil. The legislation currently making its way around the legislatures of the various states is legislation that has originated in the land of the doomed and the damned. The Pastor Protection Act is the name they have given to protect the “men of God” who hide behind America’s pulpits. The promotion of this “law” flies in the face of everything that the Gospel represents. To put it in everyday terms, the Pastor Protection Act is designed to protect “pastors” from the consequences of preaching the Truth of the Bible. The homosexual mafia has now officially scared the pussy-cat pastors into the protective arms of their local State governments. “Please protect us Mr. Government!! Don’t let those mean homosexuals bully us into compromising what we believe. Please put into place a law that allows us to be Christians without having to pay any price. If you don’t pass a law there is a chance that those mean old homosexuals will come and make us marry them. In fact, the may sue us and try to take away our property. Please pass a law that protects God’s property from the Devil’s kids.” The weakness of America’s pulpits makes me want to puke. The pussy-cat pastors have appealed to the pandering politicians for protection from the pansy perverts who never saw a religious principle that they didn’t want to destroy. Is it just me or do we have it backward? Isn’t it the power of the pulpit that is supposed to protect the people from the advancement of the kingdom of darkness? Can you even conceive of the idea of the church turning to the government for protection from the hoards of hell? Give me a freakin break. The Pastor Protection Act…Jesus must be weeping. I’m sorry to say it but I think America might be a different country if some of the prissy pastors got their powdered posteriors thrown behind bars. If jail was good enough for the Apostle Paul then it might be just the cure for the cowards who are directly responsible for Christianity’s capitulation to the forces of darkness. That’s right. I think locking up some pastors would be a good thing. Maybe it would wake folks up to how dire a situation we currently find ourselves in. Don’t protect the pastors, persecute them. Persecution is good for the soul. Try as I might I can’t imagine any of the Apostles of Jesus turning to Rome for protection for preaching the Gospel. I can’t picture Jesus begging Pilate to protect Him from the Diabolous and his minions. Daniel didn’t pray for government protection he opened the window and defied them. The three Hebrew boys didn’t appeal to the King to rescue them from the fiery furnace. They climbed head first into the fire and trusted God to deliver them. John The Baptist manned up and went head-long after the King’s adulterous wife. He didn’t even take time to check the law books to see if his actions were a hate crime. Can you imagine Martin Neimoller appealing to the Nazis for protection from Hitler? Can you muster up in your mind’s eye Patrick Henry begging for “legal immunity” for defying the King and placing his signature on the Declaration of Independence? Can you think of any great deed ever done for the cause of Christ that didn’t require some courage? Pastors want to fight a war without casualties. The Pastor Protection Act…I wonder if they have one of those in Syria? Good grief man!! Let them arrest bakers who won’t cook homo cakes. Let them imprison printers who won’t print wedding invitations for deviant weddings. Let them destroy business that dare to speak out against sodomy and their deadly behaviors. But the pastors….why they need protection!! How about a Baker Protection Act…. Here is my message to the pastors. Man up ladies. It is time to quit hiding behind your skirts. There is a real war raging in this nation against anyone who would dare to speak out against the debauchery masquerading as “civil rights.” Every day I turn on my computer and read boundless stories of individual American’s being attack for nothing more than living out their faith. …and the pastors need a protection act. Stand up and fight for your people and your Lord!!

'You don't send a picture of yourself laughing while people have just been blown up': 9/11 Mayor Rudy Giuliani hits Obama for attending baseball game in Cuba after Brussels bombings

Republicans are criticizing Obama for staying in Cuba in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Belgium and going about his day as planned All three GOP candidates slammed President Obama for staying put in Cuba - and watching baseball - in the wake of the Brussels attacks They say he should have returned to Washington instead of continuing on with his trip; he's now in Argentina Obama spent the first minute of a speech yesterday morning condemning the attacks and asking the world to join together to fight against terrorism Wednesday afternoon it was announced John Kerry would go to Brussels Friday. He was also in Cuba at the baseball on Tuesday By Francesca Chambers, White House Correspondent For Dailymail.com and Nikki Schwab, U.s. Political Reporter For Dailymail.com

Published: 08:41 EST, 23 March 2016 | Updated: 16:47 EST, 23 March 2016

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani ripped into President Barack Obama for attending a baseball game in Cuba yesterday afternoon instead of jumping on his plane and coming home after the Brussels attacks. 'You don't send a picture of yourself laughing ,while people have just been blown up at a level that...is the equivalent of September 11 to one of our allies,' said Giuliani, mayor of New York at the time of deadly 2001 terrorist attacks. Republicans are angry with Obama for staying in Cuba in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Belgium and going about his day as planned. That included a baseball game, which he was seen at with his family doing the wave and casually chatting with Cuban dictator Raul Castro, at Havana's Latinoamericano stadium and an am speech cementing the United States and Cuba's renewed relations. Obama spent less than a minute addressing the bombings at the top of his remarks yesterday and spent much of a press conference today in Argentina responding to Republicans' criticisms as a result. Obama said the U.S. must show ISIS that it does not have power over its citizens. 'Groups like ISIL can't destroy us. They can't defeat us. They don't produce anything. They're not an existential threat to us,' he said. 'They are viscous killers and murders who have perverted one of the world's great religions.' The terrorist group's primary source power in in addition to taking innocent lives, he said, 'is to strike fear in our societies, to disrupt our societies. so that that the effect cascades.' Obama said they world must not give them what they want. 'Even as we are systematic and ruthless and focused in going after them, disrupting their networks, getting their leaders....it is very important for us to not respond with fear.' 'That's hard to do because we see the impact in such an intimate way of the attacks,' he acknowledged. 'But we defeat them in part by saying: you are not strong, you are weak.' 'We send a message to those who might be inspired by them to say, you are not going to change our values.' Gesturing in the direction of Argentinian President Mauricio Macri, who was standing to his left at a joint news conference this afternoon in Buenos Aires, Obama said, 'It is important for the United States president and the United States government to be able to work with people who are building and who are creating things.' 'We have to make sure that we lift up and stay focused, as well, on the things that are most important to us,' he said. 'Because we're on the right side of history.' Earlier in the day, on MSNBC, Giuliani had lambasted Obama for 'analogizing' himself yesterday to the Boston Red Sox' David Ortiz. Recalling what he called one of his proudest memories during his time as president, Obama told ESPN that Ortiz's reaction to the Boston bombings in April 2013 was spot on. Obama said he felt the player spoke for the nation when he said, 'This is our f**king city and nobody is going to dictate our freedom.' 'David Ortiz is a designated hitter,' Giuliani said on Morning Joe. 'He's the President of the United States, and he's comparing himself to a designated hitter, and the wonderful speech that he gave?' The retired Republican politician who once ran for president himself said of Obama, 'This man's job is to be the leader of the free world, which means the leader of NATO.' Obama brought up 'Big Papi' again today and said, 'At that moment he spoke about what America is.' 'That is how we are going to defeat these terrorist groups,' Obama said. Part of the strategy is tactical - airstrikes, intelligence and arrests. 'But a lot of it is also going to be to say: You do not have power over us,' Obama declared. 'We are strong, our values are right. You offer nothing, except death.'

Is North Korea expanding its nuclear programme? New structures appear at secretive plant as Kim Jong-Un claims to have carried out more ballistic rocket tests

Three new structures built at North Korea nuclear plant this month

Objects, measuring 60ftx22ft, could not be seen in in earlier photos

Experts say Kim Jong-Un may be making ingredient for hydrogen bombs

Satellite images of North Korea's main nuclear plants show a number of new unidentified structures having been built in recent weeks. The three new objects at Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center in Nyongbyon are 60ft long and 22ft wide and are believed to be intended to use as storage of chemicals or water. The new developments at the nuclear plant comes as Pyongyang claimed to have successfully tested a solid-fuel engine for ballistic rockets. The U.S. Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) reported that new construction material, possibly for new roof renovations, is present at the Yongbyon plant. The institute also reported 'movement of construction material and clean-up activities continue at a site ISIS has identified as a possible isotope separation facility'. The ISIS claimed Pyongyang is believed to have restarted a small research reactor at Yongbyon, in a possible attempt to make tritium, a key ingredient for hydrogen bombs. This followed reports in North Korean state media about the solid-fuel engine tests, accompanied by pictures of a smiling Kim Jong Un overseeing the tests. North Korea has stepped up its military rhetoric in recent weeks, threatening pre-emptive nuclear strikes against Washington and Seoul, as well as making claims of advancement in its weapons technology. The Rodong Sinmum, the North's ruling party newspaper, carried photos of leader Kim Jong Un on site as a rocket engine laid horizontally on the ground emitted a fiery blast. A two-page report detailed the testing of the engine's structure and thrust. 'He noted with great pleasure that the successful test ... helped boost the power of ballistic rockets capable of mercilessly striking hostile forces,' KCNA news agency said. The North said last week it had conducted a successful simulated test of atmospheric re-entry of a ballistic missile, and would soon test ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads. On Wednesday, the North repeated the threat to attack the South's presidential office, saying its large-calibre multiple rocket launch systems are on alert to strike the Blue House and its special operations unit is ready to go into action. South Korean President Park Geun-hye ordered a heightened state of alert and put the military on standby to 'respond actively to reckless provocations by the North,' according to her office. The current tension on the peninsula follows the United Nations Security Council's recent imposition of tough new sanctions against the North over its nuclear and missile programmes, and as South Korea and the United States conduct annual joint military drills. The North calls the exercises 'nuclear war moves' and has threatened to respond with an all-out offensive, as well as a series of rocket launches in recent days. Pyongyang has previously launched long-range rockets that used liquid fuel but it was seen to lack the capability to build solid-fuel long-range or intercontinental missiles. Solid-fuel rockets have advantages in military use, although liquid fuel rockets are considered more sophisticated as their thrust can be controlled in flight. The North has deployed short and medium-range missiles and test fired them, but never flight-tested the KN-08 ICBM it is believed to be developing. The KN-08, which has been put on display at military parades and in official news media, appears to have a three-stage design that is likely intended to use solid fuel, according to experts. Despite its boasts to be making progress, many experts believe the North is a decade or more away from building an ICBM capable of threatening the United States. The North's stepped-up rhetoric and weapons claims come ahead of its planned congress of the ruling Workers' Party, which will be the first in more than 35 years. Some Pyongyang-watchers say the North may look to claim a splashy achievement, such as a fifth nuclear test, in the run-up to the conference as young leader Kim Jong Un looks to bolster his legitimacy domestically. 'North Korea may think it is better for them to complete their nuclear weapons programme and negotiate later, rather than just to sit back until it withers and dies,' Lim Eul-chul, a professor at Kyungnam University, said. The North is ready to conduct a fifth nuclear test 'now, immediately,' the South's unification ministry said on Monday. Its nuclear test site remained active, undergoing maintenance on existing tunnels as well as clean-up following the January test, according to 38 North, a project of the U.S. Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University in Washington.

An Islamic Apocalypse in Brussels

Striking terror into the hearts of unbelievers.

March 24, 2016 Raymond Ibrahim

Raymond Ibrahim is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center

Islamic jihad struck Brussels Tuesday morning—first at Brussels Airport and then at a metro station 400 meters from EU headquarters—leaving at least 34 people dead and 230 injured. It was an apocalyptic scene according to survivors, “with blood and dismembered bodies everywhere,” even “thrown in to the air.” One man recalled the “horror. I saw at least seven people dead. There was blood. People had lost legs. You could see their bodies but no legs.” Witnesses heard the attackers yelling in Arabic moments before the bombs—one of which contained nails—detonated. Other jihadi trademarks—including an unexploded suicide vest and a Kalashnikov rifle beside the body of a slain terrorist—were found. Islam’s ancient war tactic of blending in with non-Muslims was also implemented. Horrific as the attack is, its inspiration and Western responses to it are all too typical—meaning, as I opined last year after the Paris massacre, “many more such attacks and worse will continue. Count on it.” First, as happened on 9/11, Muslims around the world—those unnamed millions the media refer to as “ISIS supporters”—celebrated, including by once again handing out candy and shouting Islam’s victory war cry, “Allahu Akbar.” Yes, that ancient Islamic hate was back in the air and rampant on social media. “We are not just clapping, but we are happy again. We are smiling, we are laughing and we are joyful like it’s a day of celebration,” tweeted one ISIS sympathizer. Another wrote: “#Brussels, if you continue your war against the religion of Allah then this is our response.” Another wrote: “What a beautiful day today. F*** Belgium.” Yet another wrote, “A lot of duas [Muslim prayers] were answered today.” Still, most Muslim sympathizers were quick to portray their bloodlust as a product of grievances against the West: “the most common remark under the hashtag was ‘You declared war against us and bombed us, and we attack you inside your homeland.’ Another popular reaction from ISIS supports on Twitter was that the Brussels attacks were intended to avenge the Muslims’ blood that was spilled in Mosul in a series of airstrikes by the Western coalition over the weekend.” Meanwhile, and as usual, in its communiques to fellow Muslims, ISIS articulated the attack through a distinctly Islamic paradigm. It even signaled the attack with the words, “We have come to you with slaughter”—an assertion based on the Muslim prophet Muhammad’s words to a non-Muslim tribe that refused to submit to Islam: “I have come to you with slaughter.” If this assertion is not clear enough concerning the intent and mission of Muhammad—and those who seek to follow him—another canonical assertion attributed to him and regularly quoted by jihadis, including over a decade ago in the opening paragraph of al-Qaeda’s “Declaration of War against Americans,” has the prophet saying: I have been sent with the sword between my hands to ensure that no one but Allah is worshipped—Allah who put my livelihood under the shadow of my spear and who inflicts humiliation and scorn on those who disobey my commandments (The Al Qaeda Reader, p.12). Unfortunately, this one aspect—that Islamic scripture clearly, plainly, and unequivocally promotes violence against all who refuse to submit to Allah—is the very same aspect most vehemently denied by Western elites. Already, as always happens after an Islamic terror attack in the West, the talking heads are warning against “rampant Islamophobia” and a backlash against Muslims. Media are hosting professional liars, like Ramadan Foundation’s Muhammad Shafiq, who insists that “terrorism is forbidden in Islam” (even though the Koran calls on Muslims to terrorize those who resist Islam, e.g., 3:151 and 8:12). Still, due to these growing numbers of jihadi attacks on Western soil, increasing numbers of politicians are responding with tough—but ultimately meaningless—words: “We are at war,” responded French Prime Minister Manuel Valls. “We have been subjected for the last few months in Europe to acts of war.” This is true. But just like George W. Bush’s famous “war on terrorism”—a war on a method not its motivation—Valls doesn’t indicate who “we are at war” with, even though the most elemental step in winning a war is to “know your enemy.” One of the few American political aspirants who need not revise his tone in light of this attack is Donald Trump. Over two months ago, he said “Go to Brussels. Go to Paris. Go to different places. There is something going on and it’s not good, where they want Shariah law.… You go to Brussels — I was in Brussels a long time ago, 20 years ago, so beautiful, everything is so beautiful — it’s like living in a hellhole right now.” This latest terror strike in Europe will likely reignite the refugee debate, which, while important, also minimizes the significance of the issue. The common denominator between all these recent terror strikes throughout the West is not that the culprits were all refugees but rather that they were all Muslim. Many terror attacks were homegrown. Muslim citizens of America were responsible for Fort Hood (13 murdered), Boston Marathon (four murdered), Chattanooga (four murdered), and most recently San Bernardino (14 murdered). Of course, Europe could have spared itself if only it would’ve looked to the plight of non-Muslim minorities living in Muslim majority nations. As far back as 2012, after Western supported jihadi/freedom fighters were unleashed on Assad’s formerly stable Syria, intentionally displacing hundreds of thousands of Christians, the Syrian Christian archbishop correctly predicted “the jihadis will not stop here [Middle East], the war will spread to Europe.” Four years later and the war has certainly begun. Consider the 2010 massacre at the Our Lady of Salvation Church in Baghdad. Armed jihadis stormed the church during Sunday worship service, opened fire indiscriminately at the Christian worshipers, before detonating their suicide vests. At least fifty-eight Christian worshippers, including many women and children, were murdered, and nearly 100 wounded—many, like in Brussels, losing their arms or legs (see here for GRAPHIC pictures). If the Brussel jihadis used nails in their bombs, the Baghdad church jihadis wore vests “filled with ball bearings to kill as many people as possible.” Now, if Brussels—or New York, or London, or Madrid, ad infinitum—was really “intended to avenge the Muslims’ blood that was spilled in Mosul in a series of airstrikes,” as aggrieved Muslims regularly claim—then one must ask: why are immensely weak, outnumbered, ostracized, and politically disenfranchised Christian minorities living in the Muslim world, who are wholly incapable of hurting any Muslim, also being terrorized and slaughtered, to the point of genocide? The answer should be clear. So long as Islam calls for jihad against those who reject Allah and his prophet, so long will attacks like Brussels (and the countless before it) continue. Before the age of political correctness, the Encyclopaedia of Islam put it this way: [The] spread of Islam by arms is a religious duty upon Muslims in general … Jihad must continue to be done until the whole world is under the rule of Islam … Islam must completely be made over before the doctrine of jihad [warfare to spread Islam] can be eliminated. This is the one ugly fact that few want to accept, much less act on—and understandably so, for the ramifications are immense.

Utah Passes Resolution Calling Pornography A ‘Public Health Crisis’

By Lauretta Brown | March 14, 2016 | 4:03 PM EDT

(CNSNews.com) – The Utah House of Representatives unanimously passed a resolution Friday calling pornography “a public health hazard leading to a broad spectrum of individual and public health impacts and societal harms.” The first-of-its-kind resolution was initially introduced in the Utah State Senate by Sen. Todd Weiler at the end of January. The resolution claims that young children are exposed to pornography “at an alarming rate” due to technological advances and that this exposure leads to low self-esteem and an increased desire for risky sexual behavior among adolescents. The resolution also cites that “recent research indicates that pornography is potentially biologically addictive” and can lead to “increasing themes of risky sexual behaviors” including violence and child pornography. It adds that pornography has been linked to “lessening desire in young men to marry, dissatisfaction in marriage, and infidelity.” The resolution will not restrict pornography but is meant to raise awareness of its harms, calling on the legislature and the governor to “recognize the need for education, prevention, research, and policy change at the community and societal level in order to address the pornography epidemic that is harming the people of our state and nation.” "It's not just a kooky thing that some, you know, politician from Mormon Utah came up with," Weiler said at his resolution’s introduction. "When I was a kid, people might sneak a Playboy magazine and look at it. Now, you've got all kinds of horrible, graphic images that are available to anyone with an Internet connection one or two clicks away." A 2009 study indicates that Utah has a high rate of pornography use as the state led the nation in online porn subscriptions. A February UtahPolicy.com survey, conducted by pollster Dan Jones & Associates, found that 73 percent of Utahns think that pornography is a public health crisis, including 51 percent who would “definitely” describe it as a public health crisis. Weiler credits the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) for drafting the resolution. NCOSE is a Washington-based organization dedicated to “addressing the public health crisis of pornography and exposing the links between all forms of sexual exploitation.” "Pornography is a serious public health crisis facing our nation," said Dawn Hawkins, executive director of the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, when the resolution passed the Utah State Senate last month. "As pornography shapes the sexual templates of rising generations, violence and abuse of women and children becomes normalized. The government must recognize the science that confirms the harms of pornography, similarly to how it recognized the damage to public health caused by tobacco," Hawkins said.

North Carolina Repeals Transgender Bathroom Ordinance

Casey Harper 12:22 PM 03/24/2016

North Carolina Republican Gov. Pat McCrory signed a bill late Wednesday to overturn a bathroom ordinance that allowed men to use women’s bathrooms.

Charlotte’s city council passed an ordinance to take effect April 1 that would allow people to use the bathroom they say is their true gender, regardless of their biological gender. Supporters of the ordinance described it as an anti-discrimination bill that protects transgender people, but opponents said men would exploit it to legally use women’s restrooms and locker rooms. The bill signed Wednesday prevents local governments from enacting similar ordinances, WCNC reports. “The basic expectation of privacy in the most personal of settings, a restroom or locker room, for each gender was violated by government overreach and intrusion by the mayor and city council of Charlotte,” McCrory said in a statement. “This radical breach of trust and security under the false argument of equal access not only impacts the citizens of Charlotte but people who come to Charlotte to work, visit or play. This new government regulation defies common sense and basic community norms by allowing, for example, a man to use a woman’s bathroom, shower or locker room.” Groups supporting the transgender ordinance are considering legal challenges.

British man arrested after posting anti-Muslim tweets

Updated 3:00 am, Friday, March 25, 2016

LONDON (AP) — A British man has been arrested after posting anti-Muslim tweets following the Brussels attacks. Matthew Doyle is in custody and being questioned by police. Asked about Doyle, police said: "A 46-year-old man was arrested at his home address in Croydon on Wednesday, 23 March on suspicion of inciting racial hatred on social media." Doyle had described on Twitter confronting a Muslim woman in south London and asking her to explain the Brussels attack. She said the attack had nothing to do with her, and he said that was "a mealy mouthed response." The description of this encounter on Twitter drew wide attention, with many mocking the posting. He used a familiar anti-Muslim epithet in a subsequent tweet.

U.S. charges Iran in cyberattacks against banks, New York dam

CBS/AP March 24, 2016, 10:42 AM

WASHINGTON -- Seven hackers tied to the Iranian government were charged Thursday in a series of punishing cyberattacks on dozens of banks and a small dam outside New York City, intrusions that reached into America's infrastructure and disrupted the financial system, federal law enforcement officials said. The indictment, announced at the Justice Department, reveals the determination of overseas hackers to cripple vital American interests, the officials said. "The attacks were relentless, systematic and widespread," Attorney General Loretta Lynch said. "They threatened our economic well-being and our ability to compete fairly in the global marketplace, both of which are directly linked to our national security." One of the seven alleged hackers is accused of repeatedly gaining access to the control system of the Bowman Avenue Dam, a small flood-control structure in Rye Brook, about 20 miles north of New York City. With that access, the hacker was able to get information about the dam's operations, including its water level, temperature and the status of the sluice gate. In a tweet, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said New Yorkers are "fighting back."

This Danger Has A Name By Hal Lindsey

After the bomb attacks on Brussels Tuesday morning, President Obama did not call on Belgium to restrain itself from responding. He did not pressure their government to release ISIS prisoners in a bid to get ISIS leaders to the negotiating table. He did not call on Belgium to give East Brussels to the terrorists in an attempt at appeasement. So why does he continually call on Israel to do similar things? The Belgium attack served as another reminder that an enemy lurks among us. Yet the leaders of our nation refuse to call that enemy by name. They say the words “ISIS,” “ISIL,” and “Daesh.” They also speak of “al-Qaeda” and “Boko Haram.” But they refuse to recognize the underlying agency behind them all — radical Islam! This failure is not just a matter of symbolism or semantics. It’s causing a breakdown in our ability to defend ourselves against the enemy. How can we defeat an enemy we refuse to name, and see only through the lens of political correctness? We cannot grasp the current state of the world until we understand that ISIS, al-Qaeda, and Boko Haram are different names of the same enemy. The terror groups we say we’re fighting are all manifestations of radical Islam. So are Hamas and Hezbollah. Western leaders repeatedly call on Israel to accommodate and appease their attackers. Yet, Israel’s foes are also terrorists — fruit of the same tree that gave us ISIS and al-Qaeda. No other nation lives so close to the threat of radical Islam as Israel. In Europe, they’re beginning to fight. Following the terror attacks in Paris last year, French President Francois Hollande said, “France is at war.” After the attack in Brussels, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said, “We are at war. We have been subjected for the last few months in Europe to acts of war.” In Europe, they are “at war” with the terrorists, but in the Middle East, they support them. During Israel’s Gaza conflict with the terror group Hamas in 2014, President Hollande described Israel’s self-defense as “massacres." He asked, “How could one remain neutral when a people, not far from Europe, fights for its rights and its territorial integrity?” From that quote, you might think he was on Israel’s side. But I assure you he was not supporting Israel. He was accusing it. On Sunday at the massive American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) policy conference, Hillary Clinton gave a pro-Israel speech. No surprise there — every candidate speaking at AIPAC talks of their support for Israel. For a long time now, the group’s meetings have attracted candidates of both parties trying to show their solidarity with the Jewish state. But this year, Mrs. Clinton was pilloried by members of her own party and people who are sympathetic to her other positions. Lauren McCauley, staff writer for the liberal website, “Common Dreams,” wrote, “During the address, Clinton vowed to take the U.S.-Israel relationship to ‘the next level’ — a level which seemingly includes more war and imperialism, few, if any, rights for Palestinians, and definitely no economic boycotts of Israel.” Guardian columnist Glenn Greenwald called her speech “disgusting. Rebecca Vilkomerson, executive director of Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), said that Hillary Clinton’s AIPAC speech “is a reminder of the current limits of the mainstream discourse on Israel, which rely on racist and Islamophobic tropes to justify unquestioning support for Israel.” When Secretary Clinton called on young people to resist the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, Naomi Dann, Media Coordinator for JVP, tweeted, “@HillaryClinton please STOP enlisting young people as soldiers on the ‘frontlines’ to silence the movement for Palestinian rights.” The liberal magazine, Slate, ran the headline, “Hillary Clinton’s AIPAC Speech Was a Symphony of Craven, Delusional Pandering.” “Craven?” “Delusional?” It makes me wonder if Secretary Clinton might be the last Democratic presidential candidate to even pretend support for the nation of Israel. Then I remembered that Republicans, too, have their Israel-bashers — people who want the United States to just get out of that part of the world, and let them all fight it out. They forget what a small world we now live in. As nuclear weapons and the missiles to carry them proliferate in the region, America must engage in the area or risk a national catastrophe on an unprecedented level. I don’t believe there will be a lasting Middle East peace until Jesus returns. But that doesn’t mean we should intentionally let the world fall apart. Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers.” (Matthew 5:9) We must keep on trying. Holding disaster at bay is a good thing. At a few places in the Bible, God tells us something specific we should pray for. In a sense, He’s giving a prayer request. Obviously, He already knows the need, but He wants us engaged with Him on those matters. One of His prayer commands is in Psalms 122:6-7, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: ‘May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls.’” (NKJV) We already see the signs of Jerusalem and Israel’s desperate fate coming on the scene. At the very end period of the “Times of the gentiles”, where the full number of gentiles will be saved, then this phenomena will take place, “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee the mountains, let those who are midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things that are written may be fulfilled. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem shall be trampled by the Gentiles until the ‘Times of the Gentiles’ are fulfilled. (Luke 21:20-24 NKJV) This covers the period from 70AD until the Rapture, when the full number of Gentiles are SAVED. This will complete the ‘Times of the Gentiles’. Then the Rapture suddenly happens and all the saved people, mostly Gentiles, will be snatched up to meet the LORD JESUS in the clouds. All the Christians who have died will be instantly resurrected. Then the living will be and changed from mortal to immortal. Then the spotlight of God’s special dealing shifts back to the Israelites again. It will begin by God miraculously converting 144,000 Israelite evangelists to the Lord Jesus Christ. It will be made up of twelve thousand Israelites from each of the twelve tribes of Israel. The tribe of Dan is mysteriously left out. This Period lasts for seven-years and is divided into two periods. The first period is called the “Tribulation” numbering 3½ years; the second period is called “The Great Tribulation” and also lasts 3½ years. Then there are some special signs applying to the Tribulation Seven Year Period given, “Then there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them from fear and expectation of those things that are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now these things begin to happen, lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” These Scriptures are specifically applicable to the physical coming of Christ to the earth in the Second Coming. This is a very brief synopsis of a very complex series of prophetic Scriptures that I pray the Holy Spirit will teach you and make clear. May the grace of our blessed Savior be with you always. MARANATHA!

Pakistan prime minister vows crackdown on terror following Easter bombing that killed 70

Published March 28, 2016 FoxNews.com Facebook Twitter livefyre Email

Pakistan's prime minister on Monday vowed to eliminate perpetrators of terror following the Sunday suicide bombing that targeted Christians gathered for Easter in the eastern city of Lahore, killing 70 people and injuring around 300. In response to the attack, the military reportedly arrested dozens in raids in eastern Punjab, where several deadly militant organizations are headquartered. And in Lahore, forensic experts sifted through the debris in the park where the suicide attack took place. The bomb had been a crude devise loaded with ball bearings, designed to rip through the bodies of its victims to cause maximum damage, counter-terrorism official Rana Tufail said. He identified the suicide bomber as Mohammed Yusuf, saying he was known as a militant recruiter. Meanwhile, Pope Francis condemned the deadly bombing, urging prayers to God to "stop the hands of violent people sowing terror and death.” The pope, speaking to the faithful in St. Peter's Square, said many of the victims were women and children and that Pakistan should "make every effort to restore security and serenity" to Pakistanis, particularly religious minorities in the largely Muslim Asian nation. Ahsanullah Ahsan, a spokesman for the breakaway Taliban faction Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, which has sworn allegiance to ISIS, told The Associated Press late Sunday that the suicide bomber deliberately targeted Christians celebrating Easter in the park. The mostly-Muslim country has a small Christian community, accounting for less than two percent of Pakistan's total population. The same militant group also took responsibility for the twin bombings of a Christian church in Lahore last year. But most of those killed Sunday were Muslims, The Associated Press reported. Of the dead, 14 have been identified as Christians, Lahore Police Superintendent Mohammed Iqbal said. Another 12 bodies have not yet been identified, he added. Shama Pervez, widowed mother of 11-year-old Sahil Pervez who died in the blast, was inconsolable during funeral prayers Monday. Her son, a fifth grader at a local Catholic school, had pleaded with her to go to the park rather than stay home on Sunday, and she said she finally gave in. In Turkey, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemned the Lahore bombing, saying that in targeting a park filled with children, the attack "revealed the face of terror, which knows no limits and values."

'Mother Of Satan' Bomb Used In Brussels Attacks? Watch This And Know Something Strange Is Going On

March 28, 2016 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

In Jason A's latest release he delves into the events that have occurred around the world, via a compilation of news clips, showing what he believes to be biblical prophecy playing out before our very eyes. From signs being seen from the heavens including a very strange sighting of an UFO by a high profile NFL star to multiple meteor sightings, one of which is desribed as the brightest ever recorded, to the onging push in the U.S. to create a police state with "Real ID" in order to be able to travel domestically or enter a federal building, with lawmakers declaring they would offer a "chilling" amount of access to our personal data as well as "endless surveillance opportunies" by the government into our homes and every aspect of our lives, Jason covers a variety of news in the video below. TERROR ATTACKS USED TO PUSH A 'ONE WORLD RELIGION' Covered below at great length are different aspects seen in the news coverage of the recent terrorist attack in Brussels, where Barack Obama used the 51 seconds he deemed enough to express his sympathies and "outrage" while once again pushing for everyone to "unite." This is followed up with the Pope's remarks on March 24, 2016, also urging for the "uniting" of religions. Quoted after that segment we see Matthew 7:15 "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." STRANGE CONNECTIONS Two specific points of interest noted, starting at approximately the 4:05 minute mark, about the Brussels terror attacks, is an American young man that was present in Brussels, who just happened to be a block away from the Boston Marathon Bombing in 2014 and was in France during the Paris attacks in 2015. What are the odds that one person would be present for three separate events in three different countries? A very strange connection. The next point which brings us right back to prophetic events is shown, via a quote from Washhinton Post on March 23, 2016, which states "'Mother of Satan': The highly unstable bomb of choice for terrorists, likely used in the brussel attacks." The last portion of the video below includes reports decribed as Prophecy In The News for the past week, include but is not limited to the Pakistan bombing, the recent revelation of how long spy drones have been used on America soil, and the mysterious recent death events of American bald eagles along with mass fish death events. This is definitely a must-see compilation where recent events are shown as part of a bigger picture and not randomly by separate local outlets oblivious to what it looks like when seen all together as shown below.

Brussels and the Obama Approach to Terrorism

March 25, 2016

“It’s very important for us not to respond with fear,” said US President Barack Obama, defending his decision to enjoy a baseball game in Cuba with his wife, daughters and dictator Raul Castro, while dozens of dead bodies and hundreds of body parts lay strewn across the Brussels airport and Metro station. “Groups like Islamic State can’t destroy us; they can’t defeat us; they’re not an existential threat to us.” The following day, on the next leg of his trip in Argentina, Obama reasserted his mantra that life must go on by doing the tango with a sexy dancer. This, while Belgium was still searching for terror suspects and as American citizens killed in the blasts had yet to be located or identified. But never mind all that. US Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, made an arduous journey by car on Wednesday morning to the Belgian Embassy in Washington, a few blocks from their house, to sign a book of condolences. After scribbling a lengthy text, Biden made a public statement. “On behalf of the president, I can say that we are prepared to provide any and all information capability, technology, anything we have that can be value added to [Belgium’s] fight; they will prevail,” he said. And let’s not forget US Secretary of State John Kerry, who headed not to Brussels on Wednesday, but to Moscow — after accompanying Obama to Cuba, where he heard about the bombings. Without skipping a beat, Kerry picked up the phone from Havana and called his Belgian counterpart to commiserate and offer assistance. Long distance, of course. On Thursday, America’s top diplomat met with Russian President Vladimir Putin for the purpose of warming up cooled relations over Ukraine. But mainly Kerry was dispatched to the Kremlin, while Obama was being wined and dined in South America, to find out the meaning of Putin’s military withdrawal from Syria, where a shaky cease-fire seems to be holding up better than had been anticipated. Probably because Putin threatened to blitz any anti-Assad forces that violated it. Despite this pressing piece of state business Kerry had to attend to, he nevertheless took time out of his talks with Putin and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to stress that the attacks in Brussels made agreements between Washington and Moscow even more urgent. You know, since everyone wants to defeat ISIS, the perpetrators of the carnage in Belgium, which unwittingly welcomed them with open arms among the millions of “refugees” fleeing war-torn Syria. Lest anyone think that all Kerry had to offer the Belgians were empty words, he flew to Brussels on Friday, to extend his heartfelt sympathies on behalf of Obama, in person. Or, as State Department spokesman John Kirby put it, “to formally express the condolences of the United States for the loss of life” in the blood-stained and traumatized country. Perhaps while he’s at it, Kerry could reiterate his true position on terrorism — the one he articulated in a New York Times Magazine article in 2004 when running for president against incumbent George W. Bush. This was a mere three years after the attacks on the twin towers in New York and the Pentagon in Washington claimed the lives of thousands of innocent Americans. Asked by Matt Bai, author of the long piece about the candidate, what it would take for Americans to feel safe again after 9/11, Kerry — then a Massachusetts senator — replied: ”We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they’re a nuisance. As a former law enforcement person, I know we’re never going to end prostitution. We’re never going to end illegal gambling. But we’re going to reduce it, organized crime, to a level where it isn’t on the rise. It isn’t threatening people’s lives every day, and fundamentally, it’s something that you continue to fight, but it’s not threatening the fabric of your life.” To someone living in Israel, that statement sounded as stupid and dangerous then as it does today. But at the time, it would have been hard to imagine that only four years later, Kerry would hold a prominent position in an administration that not only espouses such nonsense, but would come to give the Islamic Republic of Iran, the greatest state sponsor of global terrorism, the freedom and the funds to develop nuclear weapons with which to destroy Western civilization. After annihilating Israel, of course. This administration has less than a year to continue on the path that led to the havoc being wreaked around the world by radical Islamists — whether Sunnis, like ISIS, or Shiites, like Hezbollah — and all their many offshoots. Obama said it’s important for us not to respond with fear to events like that which befell Brussels this week. The terrorists are gleefully taking his advice.

Netanyahu links Brussels attacks with terrorism in Israel

March 22, 2016 10:30am

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel linked the attacks on an airport and metro station in Brussels to terror attacks in his country. “The chain of attacks from Paris to San Bernardino, from Istanbul to the Ivory Coast and now to Brussels, and the daily attacks on Israel, this is one continuous assault on all of us,” Netanyahu said Tuesday morning in an address via satellite to the annual policy conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in Washington, D.C. “In all these cases, the terrorists have no resolvable grievances. “What they seek is our utter destruction,” he said. “We won’t let that happen.” At least 34 people were killed and dozens injured on Tuesday morning in the twin bombings at Zaventem Airport and at a metro station in central Brussels. Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attacks, saying it was in response to Belgium’s participation in the U.S.-led coalition fighting against the group. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas strongly condemned the bombing attacks, and offered his sympathy to families of those killed and injured, the Wafa Palestinian news agency reported. Abbas also “affirmed that the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian people abhor terrorism and reject attacking civilians.” The attack comes two days after a suicide bomber detonated himself near a group of Israeli tourists at a restaurant in Istanbul. Turkish reports said the bomber targeted the Israelis. Three of the four fatalities were Israelis. Israel’s president, Reuven Rivlin, sent a condolence letter on Tuesday to King Philippe of Belgium. “Terrorism is terrorism is terrorism, whether it takes place in Brussels, Paris, Istanbul or Jerusalem,” Rivlin wrote. “These horrific events once again prove that we must all stand united in the fight against those who seek to use violence to stifle individual liberty and freedom of thought and belief, and continue to destroy the lives of so many. I want to emphasize that this struggle that we all share is against this violent terrorism that continues to kill and maim so many, it is not a fight against Islam.” Rivlin expressed his condolences to the people of Belgium. “Sadly, we, in Israel, are no strangers to the horror and grief that follows such murderous attacks and can understand the pain you all feel now,” he said. Israel’s minister of science, technology and space, Ofir Akunis, said in a Facebook post that European officials have been wasting their time worrying about labeling products produced in Israeli settlements instead of worrying about the growth of Islamic extremism in Europe. “Many in Europe have preferred to occupy themselves with the folly of condemning Israel, labeling products, and boycotts,” he wrote. “In this time, underneath the nose of the Continent’s citizens, thousands of extremist Islamic terror cells have grown. To our sorrow, the reality has struck the lives of dozens of innocent people, powerfully and fatally.”

Why America Is Not Safe from Islamic Terrorism

by Peter Morici23 Mar 2016147

America cannot be safe from terrorism unless it roots out and destroys the Islamic State—at home and in the Middle East. Recent attacks in Brussels, the December massacre in San Bernardino, and 32 other IS sponsored assaults in 24 cities around the world should drive home to Americans that no one on this planet is safe from radical Islam. The founding principles of American civilization—the efficacy of democracy to guarantee personal security and the inviolability of human rights—are under attack and exploited by the IS. Bombings in the Brussels airport and subway owe much to a democratically elected government’s failure to use its security apparatus to map and roll up the IS extremist network in Muslim districts of the city—despite repeated warnings the infestation was spreading and posed a lethal threat. Now citizens of Belgium live in fear and are unable to move freely on their own streets. Americans turn a blind eye too—obsessed with naïve notions about freedom of religion. And if we don’t become more realistic, we can look forward to more San Bernardino and perhaps 9-11 attacks. Islamic radicalization spreads among young Muslims much as Christianity did during the Roman persecution, but with terribly evil intentions. Young people, burdened by poverty and unemployment—and disaffected by the failed promises of politicians to create decent opportunities—are exposed to a poisonous religion of hatred toward Christians and Western Civilization. Founded on mutated and twisted notions of Islam, this creed spreads through loosely connected networks of underground mosques and terrorist cells, by word of mouth and on the internet. Police efforts to monitor those activities were frustrated in Brussels—much as they were in San Bernardino—in part, by religious leaders, friends, and families who turned a blind eye to terrorist preparations, refused to cooperate with authorities, and often shared some sympathy for those who hold western values and institutions in contempt. Seen in this context, Islam and the Islamic community cannot be viewed as just another religion protected by the First Amendment. Just as freedom of speech does not give individuals the right to scream fire in a movie theater, freedom of religion does not protect a community from conspiring—through direct actions by its more brazen members or estoppel by ignoring bomb building in neighbors’ basements. Either the Imams, Islamic community leaders, and ordinary citizens earnestly assist authorities to root out the cancer in their midst, or western governments should subject Mosques and community groups to police surveillance normally reserved for movements dedicated to overthrowing governments and subjugating citizens—because those are the avowed intents of the IS. As importantly, the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq provides essential support for the global terrorist movement and if not absolutely crushed, then its sinister designs to paralyze and destabilize western societies will in some places succeed. Belgium is already skating on the edge of state entropy. Europeans appear not to have the stomach to defend their own liberties. The Germans and others cried but refused to protect the Ukraine from Russian aggression and indicate no stomach for an expeditionary force to destroy ISIS on the ground. Allied bombing of ISIS and technical and materiel support for the government of Iraq and anti-ISIS insurgents are proving simply not enough. Despite repeated terrorist attacks, Europeans continue to believe tight security and good police work may somehow root out terrorists before they attack airports, subway systems, and stadiums filled with spectators. That leaves America with stark and discomforting choices about having to go it alone—or with only limited European support—to destroy IS. We are foolish to think, as the Europeans do, that we can continue to avoid the necessity of cracking down on radicalism in America or sending a ground force to the Middle East to destroy the IS homeland and liquidate its army.

Islamic State crucifies Catholic priest on Good Friday, cardinal says

By Victor Morton - The Washington Times - Updated: 1:47 p.m. on Monday, March 28, 2016

The Islamic State reportedly committed a grisly Good Friday commemoration, crucifying a Catholic priest. The Rev. Thomas Uzhunnalil, a Salesian priest, was kidnapped in Yemen in early March during a raid on a nursing home run by Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity. His execution by the Islamist sect, using the same method used by the Romans on Jesus and marked on Good Friday every year, was confirmed at the Easter Vigil Mass by Cardinal Christoph Schonborn of Vienna according to a report in the Salzburg News. However there was no official confirmation from the priest’s order or home diocese. In addition, Bishop Paul Hinder of Southern Arabia told Catholic News Agency on Monday that he has “strong indications that Fr. Tom is still alive in the hands of the kidnappers.” Bishop Hinder also told CNA that Cardinal Schonborn’s statement at the Easter Mass was made in error — hearsay based on rumors from India, the native land of Father Uzhunnalil. The priest had been the object of both prayers and diplomatic efforts — and threats of a Good Friday crucifixion — since the March 4 raid where 16 Christian nuns and nurses were killed. Bishop Paul Hinder, who heads the Catholic Church in Yemen, said the Missionaries home had been the object of numerous threats but they refused to leave. Pope Francis already had honored the slain nuns as martyrs.

Three-year-old girl beheaded in 'random' attack outside subway station in Taipei

The attacker was reportedly armed with a butcher's knife

Adam Withnall @adamwithnall

A three-year-old girl has been decapitated in an apparently random attack outside a subway station in Taipei. According to Taiwanese media, a man identified only by his surname Wang has been arrested following the attack and remanded in custody. The girl was riding her bicycle a short distance in front of her mother when the man approached, and the mother was quoted by the TVBS broadcaster as saying she initially thought he was going to help her cycle up the hill. When he pulled out a large knife and attacked the girl, however, she was unable to prevent the attack. Local media said the man was tackled by passers-by and police were called shortly before noon on Monday. TV footage showed an angry crowd gathered outside the police station where the 33-year-old suspect was being questioned. The government-run Central News Agency said he had an arrest record for drug crimes and had been treated for mental illness. His father, quoted by the Eastern Broadcasting company, said he lived at home and was unemployed.

High Court rejects Israel's natural gas plan

The gas deal signed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last December with US and Israeli gas companies to develop Israel's offshore gas deposits is rejected by High Court on the grounds that the 'stability clause' is unconstitutional.

Talam Yahav Published: 03.27.16, 18:35 / Israel News

Israel’s High Court rejected Sunday afternoon Israel’s natural gas plan which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed last December with US and Israeli gas companies to develop Israel's offshore gas deposits. The judges rejected the “stability clause”, and since it is a prerequisite for the plan – the whole plan was thus rejected. The stability clause was supposed to allow the government or the Knesset to not change the plan for a period of ten years. It was meant to serve as protection from regulatory changes in taxation, antitrust limitations and export quotas. With the exception of Noam Solberg, four of the five justices ruled that the stablity clause was illegal. Nevertheless, the state was given a period of one year during which it could fix any problematic aspects of the deal. At the end of that period of time, if a deal is not worked out, the plan will be cancelled. Deputy Supreme Court president Elyakim Rubinstein wrote: "The stability clause in this chapter of the plan, in which the government undertakes for a decade to not only not legislate but to also fight any legislation against the plan’s provisions, was determined without authority – and as such is rejected. It was determined in contrast to the general principle of administrative law regarding the prohibition of shackling the authority’s ability to judge. The government does not have the power to decide not to decide and not to act." Rubinstein added that this was especially the case when the government seeks to limit the judgment of the next government, "whose composition and ideology will be different than this one." Rubinstein also stated that the stability clause substantially binds the Knesset’s ability to use its discretion. The decision is a blow to Netanyahu’s stature, who for over a long period went to great pains to get the plan signed. Among other things, he showed up at the the High Court’s hearing on the subject and at one point even said, "You know me - when I want something, I get it.” Netanyahu responded to the ruling by saying that "the court's decision seriously threatens the development of gas reserves of the State of Israel. Israel is seen as a state in which excessive judicial intervention makes it difficult to do business with." Netanyahu tried to dampen the joy over the plans rejection adding that "of course nobody should be celebrating the fact that the gas may remain in the depths of the sea and hundreds of billions will not be distributed to Israeli citizens. We will search for other ways to overcome the severe damage caused to the Israeli economy following this surprising ruling." The case was brought to the High Court by a host of organizations, including Movement for the Quality of Government, The Israel Union for Environmental Defense, and the Labor and Meretz parties. The main arguments of the petitioners were against the decision-making process and the bypassing of the antitrust commissioner and the plan itself - the fact that the state has undertaken not to change it for ten years. The climax of the hearings occurred when Netanyahu came to the High Court in an attempt to persuade the judges to approve the plan. This is apparently the first time in the history of the High Court that a sitting prime minister came to defend the state's position before the Court as opposed to government prosecutors. Israel announced the discovery of sizeable offshore natural gas deposits about five years ago, and a partnership made up of Israeli and US companies began extracting gas. After the antitrust commissioner determined last year that the gas companies' ownership constituted a monopoly, a government committee reached a deal with the firms to break up their control and introduce competition. Netanyahu received the Economy Ministry and the authority to sign the deal after a series of resignations and moves that removed all of the deal's opponents from the way. Anti-trust commissioner David Gilo opposed the deal and resigned even before the plan was completed. Then-economy minister Aryeh Deri, who was asked to sign a clause bypassing the anti-regulator's authority, refused and resigned as well, leaving the Economy Ministry back in the prime minister's hands. Israel's Delek and Texas-based Noble Energy, which own a number of recently discovered gas fields that supply factories and Israel's electric company, own Israel's largest natural gas field, Leviathan.

The World is Awash in Wickedness – Followers of Jesus in the World Must Fulfill Vital Role as Ambassadors for the Kingdom of God & the Battles Ahead, Like It or Not

By Doug Hagmann - March 28, 2016

Christians worldwide have just finished celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Yet many Christians don’t completely understand the purpose of His first coming. Most church-going Christians are able to quickly provide stock answers to questions relating to the purpose of his birth, murder and resurrection, but few understand the nature of the underlying battle that has been waged and continues to grow in intensity. A battle in which we are to be engaged as warriors and not mere spectators. However, we are neither alone nor ill equipped for this battle, yet many Christians don’t understand their roles. As stated in the Holy Bible, “He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:8 [KJV]. Clearly, Jesus came to redeem mankind and destroy sin, the act of sinning, and take back our legal birthright lost by the sin of Adam. But the battle did not stop there. The battle between good and evil continues to rage, and Christians are called upon to be Ambassadors for his Kingdom and warriors against the wiles of Satan and his earthly and spiritual minions. Much like Adam selling man’s birthright through his sin, the modern church is selling us out by failing to teach us the whole and complete nature of the battle at hand. Instead of teaching us about the authority delegated to us by the power of God to fight Satan and his agenda of evil and lawlessness, we have been led into a path of eternal damnation through acquiescence and complacency represented by false but popular “feel-good” doctrines of sinful tolerance. This metastatic doctrine of passive acceptance of sinfulness abounds in Western churches, facilitated by pastors who preach passivity, prosperity and inclusiveness rather than the most effective methods to fight with the heavenly weapons provided. Just as Jesus came to redeem mankind, he has also equipped us with the weapons needed so we can submit to God and resist the temptations of devil while we are on this earth, serving as Ambassadors for the Kingdom of God. But what good are these weapons if we are not taught in their use? If Christians don’t understand the nature of the battle or the weapons given us, how can we possibly fight with the weapons provided to us by God with which we are unfamiliar? Time is exceedingly short and the moment is at hand where we must pick up the mantle of leadership, as Ambassadors of his Kingdom, to resist and fight the enemy attempting to steal our salvation through the most perverse methods within and outside of the body of the Church. We are told that good words without good works is insufficient in Colossians 1:12-14 [KJV]: Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. We can take from this that we, as Christians, have work to do. It is required of us, but we are not without the means, which is the Word of God and both our shield and our sword. It is our role, by the delegated authority of Jesus Christ and the power of God, to fight against the powers of sin and darkness, the wicked and evil ways of this earth… like it or not. Join us tonight on The Hagmann & Hagmann Report live from 7:00-10:00 PM ET with Steve Quayle & Pastor David Lankford.

Watchman’s Warning: The World Reels Like A Drunkard & The Western Church Is In Denial

By C. J. on March 28, 2016

Over 60 Christians were slaughtered in an Easter Celebration at a children’s park, the death toll in Brussel’s has risen to 35. Israel has warned it’s people to get out of Turkey. Syria and Iraq are on fire as is Africa. Christians are slaughtered and kidnapped, and yet not one cry from Churches in the West. I have asked many here in America and all are silent, not one mention. Not one mention even when 2 from their own community were killed in Brussel’s. What is happening? Do you not know that Silence is evil? Take a trip through social media posts and it will sicken you. Christians are more concerned with tearing apart each other and judging fellow Christians than they are saving people from the coming disaster. Then there are those watching and warning and are met with scoffers and disdain. Wishing to ignore the “doom and gloom” of the watchmen. Where are the calls for unity in the Body for prayer to defeat this evil? Even the Pope has called for prayers for God’s hand to stop this evil. Yet the majority of the churches in the West are silent. Sound asleep as the bridesmaids in the parable of the Bride groom. Shame on us. Our Brethren across the globe are suffering, dying and enduring torture, and we can’t even unite in prayer. God did not command us to carry on as everything is normal, in fact Jesus said it would be as in the day’s of Noah, people would be marrying, and celebrating as though nothing was wrong. Our own leader in America dances the tango in the face of evil while the world explodes in violence. Using the excuse we can’t let them disrupt our life. My God, have mercy on us. Forgive us Father. Open your mouth, demand your church leaders address this. Unite in prayer. We are in a great spiritual battle with evil forces. There’s a reason God said “Come out of her my people lest you go down with her.”

Revelation 18:4 “For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the passion of her immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed acts of immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich by the wealth of her sensuality.” 4I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues; 5for her sins have piled up as high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.… What are we doing? Instead of getting into the word of God we are trusting in Man, even trusting in mediums and evil spirits instead of God. We are more concerned with offending those who are lost and worshiping a false god, than we are with saving the lost. Political correctness has effectively silenced the Body of Christ. Wake up! I recall a dream I had about many executions by hanging and being woke up with the words: “They will die in their sins” and we are silent because we don’t want to offend?! Wake up. The world is reeling like a drunkard you would think that the body of Christ would be in prayer on it’s knees, not partying and carrying on like nothing is wrong. I can only warn, and watch but remember Jesus said: Mark 13:32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alert[e]! You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.

35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”

Obama Doubles Down on Bringing Refugees Into U.S. EVEN AFTER BRUSSELS ATTACKS

Aleister Mar 26th, 2016 7:42 pm

Despite the terror attacks in Brussels this week, President Obama is renewing his determination to bring thousands of Muslim refugees into the United States.

The Washington Examiner reported: Obama reiterates refugee promise

In a brief Easter weekend radio address, President Obama vowed to decimate the self-proclaimed Islamic State, but he said the United States will do so by offering an example of freedom, tolerance and open society. “Our openness to refugees fleeing ISIL’s violence; our determination to win the battle against ISIL’s hateful and violent propaganda — a distorted view of Islam that aims to radicalize young Muslims to their cause,” are paramount in the fight, Obama told Americans during his weekly radio address. Admitting entry to Syrian and Iraqi refugees has become a divisive issue in the U.S. as well as Europe, but Obama made clear he has no plan to back off his promise to admit 100,000 to the U.S. this year. “We have to wield another weapon alongside our airstrikes, our military, our counterterrorism work, and our diplomacy,” Obama said. “And that’s the power of our example. Our openness to refugees fleeing ISIL’s violence. Our determination to win the battle against ISIL’s hateful and violent propaganda – a distorted view of Islam that aims to radicalize young Muslims to their cause.” If you ever want to know what Obama is going to do in any situation, just think of what would be the worst decision anyone could possibly make. Odds are, that’s what he’ll do.

Obama & Turkish President to Attend Opening of Largest Mosque in the World Next Week to the Sounds of “Allahu-Akbar”

The Washington Standard / March 26, 2016

An Ottoman sultan is addressed as such in prayer: “O God, assist the Sultan, son of the Sultan, Sovereign of the Two Continents, of the Two Seas, Destroyer of Two Armies, Sultan of the Two Iraqs, Servant of the Two Sanctuaries [Mecca and Medina]” (Ibn Iyas, 195-1960). Muhammad II was “Sovereign of the Two Seas, the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.” Turkey is an empire that will arise TWICE, once after it is wounded and another for its glory. Even Daniel the prophet recognizes this feature, Antichrist loves to have his established castles between the “two seas”: “And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the [two] seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.” (Daniel 11:45) Will the West ever awake its slumber and learn just how packed each verse is in the scriptures? The $100 million mega-mosque in Maryland, US will soon be open in the Washington, DC area, as Turkey’s President Tayyip Erdoğan is expected to open the mosque during his official visit to the US between March 29 and April 2. America’s largest mosque complex, officially known as the Turkish-American Culture and Civilization Center, was built with Turkish funding under the supervision of the Turkish religious foundation (Diyanet). Almost all $100 million for the mosque was funded by the Religious Affairs and the Religious Foundation of Turkey. The mosque is part of the Turkish-Islamic Center also known as the “American Religious Center,” built on a large area in Lanham, Maryland that will have the capacity to host 3,000 Muslim worshippers indoors and outdoors. Turkey builds $100 million mega mosque in Maryland, US will include a community building, a guest house, traditional Turkish houses, library, conference and exhibition halls, meeting rooms, reception, museum of Islamic art, coffee house, gift shops, cultural center, amphitheater, computer lab, library and even Turkish baths in the old Ottoman style … the works. It “aims at bringing all Muslims together, to enlighten people about the facts of Islam and guide believers to a correct way” says Yeni Safak. And these projects are not only in Maryland (keep in mind, it was called Maryland, as in the Land of Mary for Catholics), in Dayton you have some really excited stupid Americans there as well who enjoyed another mosque there too, courtesy of Antichrist Erdogan: And it is not only in the U.S., Erdogan of Turkey wants to revive Islam in the “far reaches of the north” and is leading the Muslim world in shaping and spreading an objective: to speedily revive Islam in the regions of the north, the Turkic republics in Central Asia and African nations. Believe it or not, the Turkish religious authority had had 200,267 meetings, conferences, panels and symposiums, all organized solely in the northern parts of the globe as an objective to influence non-Arab Muslim countries, especially in the Balkans. To Turkey Central Asia’s C.I.S nations (Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan) is the goal of this anti-Christ agenda and Turkey today takes the lead in what the Bible prophecies Antichrist will do in the region of Meshech, Tubal, Gomer and BethTogarmah. You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north (Isaiah 14:13) A state-sponsored program to build mosques in countries from Kazakhstan to Cuba has emerged as a foreign policy instrument for Turkey, boosting the country’s claim to a place on the international stage as a leader of the Islamic world that looks after Muslims everywhere. The Grand Mufti of Turkey, Mehmet Gormez, Turkey’s giant Directorate of Religious Affairs, which runs the country’s 85,000 mosques and employs 122,000 people, has assumed an increasingly active role in the government’s foreign policy. A glance at its website is enough to see how active the directorate has become internationally. The institution’s 2013 activity report, available on the website, describes a trans boundary agenda of “shaping and spreading an objective perception of Islam around the world.” It says the directorate aims “to present an understanding of Islam, which is based on Islam’s scientific foundations, and lead the efforts to spread it.” It notes that 200,267 meetings, conferences, panels and symposiums were organized abroad as part of this objective. The above video shows more beneath the surface and Americans need to pay close attention! “Minarets have no mahya” says Erdoğan. Mahya is a string of lights that links minarets with Islamic banners. Here is a photo of the American mosque in Maryland from Erdogan’s own source, Yeni Safak, notice the connect between the two minarets: Notice carefully, the words “Ship” “Dua”. “Dua” is Prayer. Turkey’s symbol is the Tugra (see image below). According to the Tughra Analysis and Form Turkey’s emblem represents a ship: “The three vertical letter “alef” (III) with what appears three looking squiggles SSS represent ship masts with the sails going westward to invade and conquer the west [Europe]” (to learn more click here). This is Erdoğan’s dream, a symbolic link with all mosques (minarets) across the globe, especially in the Caucasus in order to unite all Muslim lands to himself. Such a connection is why Erdoğan is building a grand mosque in the U.S. (with many more to come with the help from President Barack Hussein Obama) as claimed by Turkey’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu. What Erdogan says in the video above is a prayer of victory: “We all have a hoarse voice… do not leave our minarets with no calls to prayer, my God! Either bring us those who make honey or do not just leave us with no hive, my God! Minarets have no mahya [a string of lights set up between two minarets to flash a short text, often featuring moral or religious themes]… Do not take the Milky Way away from our skies, my God! Do not leave this country, which was kneaded by Muslims, with no Muslims, my God” Give us strength… Do not leave the field of jihad with no pahlevan [wrestler], My God! Do not leave these masses, who look for a hero, with no hero, My God! Let us know how to resist the foe, do not leave us lifeless, my God! On the path to tomorrows, do not leave our years with no Ramadan [month], my God! Either disperse your herd, if left unattended, or do not leave them with no shepherd, my God! Do not leave us, O, with no love, no water, no air and with no country, my God!” This is his prayer for the coming Mahdi “the hero.” All over Europe, the Middle East and Asia, Erdogan takes the lead in mosque building where the Saudis dream of advancing as Turkey in mosque building. The directorate’s wide range of overseas activities includes 80 visits paid by official delegations to Islamic countries or countries with Muslim communities, as well as joint initiatives in 79 countries, mostly Turkic republics in Central Asia and African nations, to provide mosques, schools and other educational services. A total of 3,791 students have been brought from the Balkans, the Turkic republics and Africa to study in Turkey’s imam-hatip religious high schools, Quranic courses, and post-graduate and doctoral programs. Observers of the directorate’s activities say the institution has notably increased its influence over Islamic institutions in non-Arab Muslim countries, especially in the Balkans. Erdogan added that the Directorate of Religious Affairs, or Diyanet (Religion) a Turkish state institution that administers Turkey’s 80,000 mosques and runs the international mosque-building program via a foundation, and Turkey’s development aid agency, TIKA, would keep track of the mosque project in Cuba. “There has been no negative approach” by the Cuban authorities regarding the Turkish proposal, Erdogan said. According to the Diyanet, Turkey is currently involved in the construction of 18 big mosques in about a dozen countries, including the United States, Russia, Kazakhstan,Kyrgyzstan, Albania, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, Palestine and Somalia. In total, the Diyanet foundation TDV has overseen the construction of around 50 mosques in 25 foreign countries since it was created in 1975. The ongoing project in Tirana, the capital of Albania, will be the biggest mosque in the Balkans, providing praying space for 4,500 worshippers. The Diyanet says it’s also helping to repair mosques abroad that have been damaged by war. The purpose of the mosque-building project goes beyond the aim of providing Muslims in other countries with modern places of worship. Speaking about the mosques and Turkey’s humanitarian aid program, TDV official Mazhar Bilgin said recently that the country had “become the sole hope for Muslims in the world.” The guise for Turkey in selling its idea is simple. The help offered by Turkey is claimed to prevent radical groups, but truth is, it is an instrument of soft power to widen Turkey’s influence and to become the role model for all Muslim nations. In a nutshell, expect to see Sufi Islam in a mosque near you with sounds of Allahu-Akbar.

Beware! Battle Line Has Been Drawn With America Now In Crosshairs Of Sharia Law And Muslim Caliphate As CAIR Joins Black Lives Matter And Establishment Pushes Revolution

March 28, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

Despite the fact that a Muslim suicide bomber recently targeted Christians in Pakistan, killing 65, mostly women, Barack Obama has doubled down on his 'open door policy' for allowing Muslim immigrants (and possible terrorists) into America while Pope Francis proves to us just how ignorant he is by telling us during his Easter message that the terrorists who love beheading and blowing up people should be fought with 'weapons of love'. Back on March 8th after 'Black Lives Matter' put out a 'riot gear flyer' planning for protests for the Republican Convention in both Arabic and English, ANP published a story asking if BLM was planning on 'teaming up' with ISIS to stop the Republican Convention after both groups put out separate warnings that they would attempt to prevent the Convention from taking place and/or 'interupt our election process'. While many have scoffed at that possibility, we've been seeing more and more proof that such a possibility is much more plausible than some might think and as we learn in the 2nd video below and this story from Breitbart, CAIR has already joined up with the 'Black Lives Matter' movement and, as many readers might know, CAIR (The Council on American-Islamic Relations) has a long history working with, and numerous ties to, extremist organizations and is partially funded by the Saudi Wahhabi establishment. We also recently informed you that ISIS had infiltrated transportation hubs and secure facilities around the world and had threatened a 'wave of bloodshed' in the West according to one of their spokesmen as well as a new video that they have put out once again threatening the West. ISIS has also recently put out a video showing the Eiffel Tower in Paris exploding. Could 'weapons of love' be used to defeat ISIS? From Rome.: Pope Francis urged the world in his Easter message on Sunday to use the "weapons of love" to combat the evil of "blind and brutal violence", following the attacks in Brussels. "May he (the risen Jesus) draw us closer on this Easter feast to the victims of terrorism, that blind and brutal form of violence which continues to shed blood in different parts of the world," he said, speaking from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica. "With the weapons of love, God has defeated selfishness and death," the leader of the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholic said from the same balcony from where he first appeared to the world on the night of his election on March 13, 2013. The 79-year-old Argentine pontiff urged people to channel the hope of Easter in order to defeat "the evil that seems to have the upper hand in the life of so many people". Two more new stories that came out over the weekend from Breitbart don't make matters any better. According to Tom Tancredo, "the religion of peace has struck again" and the FBI well knows that the 'barbarians are already inside the gates' here in America. That story leads up to the 'big one': according to Abu al-Ayna al-Ansari in an interview with "Aaron Klein Investigative Radio," the deadly terrorist attacks in both Paris and Brussels were only 'dress rehearsels' for a coming 'big attack' within the United States. The New York Times then put out a story in which they told us what we long ago reported; the terror network has spread far beyond just Paris and Brussels and may be widespread throughout Europe (and unfortunately, America). In the 1st video below from Infowars we learn all about how ISIS is now attempting to recruit 'left wing activists' into their web of terror via a 'propaganda e-book' and how America has turned into a racially-divided country, largely funded by the establishment itself using the 'useful tools' on the left who still have no clue that they are being funded by the very same establishment that they are seemingly protesting against. In the 2nd and 3rd videos below, we see exactly why Americans should be concerned about the teaming of Black Lives Matters and CAIR as we hear directly from several Muslims who tell us their plans for America and the world and their drive to make sure that Sharia law is the law of the land in America. While we totally understand that if Sharia law is declared the law of the land in America, there will be hundreds of millions of Americans who 'don't go along with the program'. While ISIS has promised the White House will one day be under an Islamic Caliphate flag, we can imagine that war will likely breakout in America before any such task could be accomplished with potentially hundreds of millions of Americans caught in the crossfire. From Obama's Easter address.: In a brief Easter weekend radio address, President Obama vowed to decimate the self-proclaimed Islamic State, but he said the United States will do so by offering an example of freedom, tolerance and open society. "Our openness to refugees fleeing ISIL's violence; our determination to win the battle against ISIL's hateful and violent propaganda — a distorted view of Islam that aims to radicalize young Muslims to their cause," are paramount in the fight, Obama told Americans during his weekly radio address.

McHugh: Catholic Church ‘Prostrating Themselves Before a Religion That’s Been At War With Them for 1400 Years’

by Breitbart News25 Mar 20163,264

On Breitbart News Daily Friday morning, with Breitbart News executive chairman and host Stephen K. Bannon, reporter Katie McHugh warned that Christian charities may be bringing jihad to America by taking taxpayer dollars in exchange for importing U.N.-selected Muslim refugees into American neighborhoods. “There’s a federal refugee program that hands out $1 billion per year to non-profit charities… Five of the top nine are Christian charities, one of which is Catholic Charities. And they get a $70 million per year refugee resettlement budget. Ninety-eight percent of that comes from the federal government,” McHugh said. “Who decides who these refugees are? Well, the U.N. does,” she continued. “And as we’ve seen and Breitbart News has broken, along with Refugee Resettlement Watch headed by Ann Corcoran, that of the 100,000 refugees resettled in the United States in 2014, an estimated 40 percent of them are Muslims.” “And the Catholic charities — they’re paid by the head for each of these refugees, many of whom are Muslim. They bring them in. They’re paid handsomely. And after four months, they’re not required to learn anything about these refugees: Where they go, where they live, what they’re up to. They’ve got their cash and they wipe their hands of it, and they go on to import more.” Bannon asked if it was a cash-flow business plan or ideology that motivated Christian institutions to welcome the religion of the sword into the United States. “I think right now the Catholic Church and Christianity at large is in the grips of an ideology of globalism. You just had yesterday on Monday Thursday, Pope Francis wash and kiss the feet of Muslim refugees — who actually look quite uncomfortable in the video of it,” McHugh said. “They’re prostrating themselves before a religion that’s been at war with them and everything that’s not Islam for 1400 years.” Pope Francis kissed Muslim so-called refugees’ feet only days after Muslim terrorists denoted suicide bombs in Brussels, killing 34 and wounded hundreds more, along with Catholic, Hindu and Orthodox individuals. Breitbart News Daily airs weekdays from 6 am to 9 am EST weekdays on SiriusXM Patriot 125.

Minnesota district restores prayer to public school — but only for Muslim students

Buried deep in a PBS article about how the St. Cloud, Minn., school district is accommodating a large Somali population was a telling example of religious bias. While public schools have appropriately been barred from leading students in corporate Christian prayer, this district is going out of its way to satisfy the desires of the Muslim community. “In the district’s middle and high schools,” the report stated, “Muslim students have access to private rooms with prayer rugs for the five daily prayers.” Furthermore, Muslim kids will have access to special lunchroom menus and other faith-based perks not extended to students of other faiths.

WH Censors Video of French President Saying 'Islamic Terrorism'

By Todd Beamon | Friday, 01 Apr 2016 08:40 PM

The Obama administration censored a video released on Friday of French President Francois Hollande saying that "Islamic terrorism" was at the "root of terrorism."

Hollande made the comment Thursday at a press event at the White House featuring President Barack Obama and members of his national security team. The French president was in the United States for the Nuclear Security Summit, which ended Friday. The White House briefly pulled video of the press event, MRC TV reports, but when it reappeared on WhiteHouse.gov and YouTube, the audio of Hollande's translator goes silent — starting with the words "Islamic terrorism" and resuming with "and we note … ." The official transcript of the remarks posted on WhiteHouse.gov shows that Hollande's translator would speak these words at that point in the video: " … Islamist terrorism, is in Syria and in Iraq. We therefore have to act both in Syria and in Iraq, and this is what we're doing within the framework of the coalition. …" The White House provided this explanation for the gap under the YouTube video: "A technical issue with the audio during the recording of President Hollande's remarks led to a brief drop in the audio recording of the English interpretation. As soon as this was brought to our attention, we posted an updated video with the complete audio here and on WhiteHouse.gov, which is consistent with the written transcript we released yesterday."

Should American Christians Be Concerned About Their Own Religious Freedom?

By Dr. Richard D. Land , CP Exclusive April 8, 2016|9:24 am

Conservative Christians in America are growing increasingly concerned about their own religious freedom. They should be. Lifeway Research recently released polling data that revealed rapidly growing concern and significant divergence of opinion concerning the erosion of religious liberty in America. Lifeway found that 63% of those polled said they believe Christians are experiencing accelerating intolerance toward their religious beliefs, up from 50 percent in 2013, an increase of 9 percent in just two years' time. As the concern over threats to religious liberty has surged, the data identified very different perceptions among groups of Americans, depending on their age and their religion or lack thereof. First, only 42 percent of those aged 18 to 24 believe religious liberty is declining in the United States. Conversely, 62 percent of those 25 or older see varying degrees of corrosion of Americans' religious freedom. Perhaps that is because those older Americans have much longer frames of reference and thus can remember a time when there was far less hostility to Christians in America. The Lifeway Research poll also surfaced significant opinion disagreement among both religious and non-religious Americans. Most Christians (70%) and 82% of Evangelicals believe Americans are increasingly intolerant of their faith convictions. Also, 76 percent of Americans of all faiths who attend worship services at least weekly see increased intolerance of America's Christians. However, only 48% of "nones" — those identified with no faith tradition — believe intolerance of Christians is increasing while 59% say Christians complain too much about how they are treated. One is tempted to ask, "How would you know — you are not the ones being discriminated against?" Perspective aside, nearly half of even this group of Americans acknowledges increased discrimination against Christians. At the very least, the Lifeway Research reflects the fact that Americans have a general sense that the ground has shifted into a culture that is far more intolerant of the free exercise of traditional Christian faith than was true even a few years earlier, much less a generation or so ago. While such attempts to circumscribe, curtail, or silence Christians' free exercise of their faith in the public square have been gathering momentum for years, such efforts have accelerated since the Supreme Court's Obergefell v. Hodges decision, which legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states in June of last year. Evidence abounds from sea to shining sea that Christians whose faith compels them to refuse to bow the knee to the prevailing cultural zeitgeist are confronted with increased intolerance and even legal prosecution. These Christians find their own government being "weaponized" against them and their faith commitments. The nation has shifted, and the resulting tremors are causing cultural earthquakes across the land. The sort of laissez-faire, "live and let live" moral relativism of the late sixties has morphed into an intolerant totalitarianism that seeks to punish any variance to its Orwellian groupthink. A half-century ago campuses were inundated with cries of "don't tell me what's right or wrong! All truth is relative. Your truth is no better than mine." Now the dominant narrative more resembles a politically correct Stalinism than the libertarian moral relativism of yesteryear. image: http://images.christianpost.com/full/90629/gods-not-dead-2.jpg?w=262 

God's Not Dead 2(Photo: Pure Flix Entertainment)"God's Not Dead 2" will be released in theaters on April 1, 2016. Last weekend, the movie "God's Not Dead 2" opened nationwide at number five in box office receipts. It tells the story of a high school history teacher teaching at a fictional, but ironically named, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial High School. She honestly answers a student's question about whether there was a connection between Dr. King's non-violent philosophy of civil disobedience and the "turn the other cheek" teachings of Jesus. She is accused and put on trial for proselytizing, or "preaching," in her classroom and is faced with losing her job, losing her teaching license, and being ruined financially. Without completely revealing the plot, suffice it to say that fellow Christians come to her defense, and God answers prayers. During the course of the trial, "Pastor Dave" is informed along with other local pastors that the court has subpoenaed all their sermons for the past three months. Some of the pastors are in denial concerning the ever-increasing levels of government intimidation with which they are confronted. One in the group reminds them that this has already happened in Houston, and it led to the pastors going to court and ultimately winning in court, based on the First Amendment. Pastor Dave responds by concluding that today's pressure will become tomorrow's persecution unless they take a stand now. And he does. Subsequently, we see him turning in a letter explaining why he feels compelled by conscience to not comply with the court order. After the movie has ended and all the credits have run across the screen, including a list of the scores of real court cases where Christians have been taken to court for the free exercise of their faith, an additional scene comes on the screen. Pastor Dave and a colleague are walking on the sidewalk in front of their church when two policemen from the ironically named "Hope Springs" police department show up and arrest Pastor Dave for defying the court order to turn over his sermons. They cuff him, place him in the squad car, and take him to jail. Like Martin Luther in the sixteenth century, Pastor Dave said, "Here I stand, I can do no other." Is this scene merely a coming attraction for "God's Not Dead 3" — or is it a prediction of our future as Christians in America? Dr. Richard Land is president of Southern Evangelical Seminary and executive editor of The Christian Post.

How the feds uncovered Dennis Hastert's sordid past

By Jason Meisner , Jeff Coen and Christy GutowskiContact ReportersChicago Tribune

Approached by federal agents last year about dozens of large cash bank withdrawals, Dennis Hastert claimed he was being extorted by a former student who said Hastert had sexually abused him decades earlier when he was a high school teacher and wrestling coach. The agents took the former U.S. House speaker at his word. But when they listened in on two phone conversations between Hastert and the man supposedly pressuring him to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars, agents began to suspect the story was a lie. What soon was apparent, according to an explosive document filed in the federal case against Hastert late Friday, was that instead of being forced to pay to keep false allegations from being spread, Hastert was paying to hide his sexual abuse of a 14-year-old boy. The document filed by federal prosecutors in advance of Hastert's April 27 sentencing provides a dramatic account of the fall of the man who once was second in line to the U.S. presidency, with the first details of how Hastert allegedly fondled young wrestlers who saw him as a mentor. According to prosecutors, Hastert inappropriately touched the teenage boys in hotel rooms during team trips and in empty locker rooms, often coaxing them into a compromising position by offering to massage them. He allegedly performed a sex act on two wrestlers at separate times, and the filing quotes another saying Hastert set up a "Lazyboy" type of chair outside the locker room's showers in order to sit and watch the boys. The document depicts a seemingly desperate Hastert trying to protect himself by shifting blame onto one of the former wrestlers, a claim that came undone when agents recording Hastert's phone calls with the man they came to call Individual A heard his voice for the first time. They realized then that Hastert might be the criminal. Hastert's attorneys have sought to portray him in advance of sentencing as a family man who gave great service to his country and, in his old age and in ill health, regrets unspecified indiscretions from decades ago. They have asked for probation for Hastert's money-structuring conviction. Prosecutors, in their 26-page filing late Friday, offered a starkly different portrayal. Hastert, they said, had hidden the alleged sexual abuse of five young men for decades while rising in politics and, over time, amassing considerable wealth — while leaving his victims emotionally shattered. Andy Richter says he recalls 'Lazyboy' chair cited in Hastert case "While defendant achieved great success, reaping all the benefits that went with it," prosecutors wrote, "these boys struggled, and all are still struggling now with what defendant did to them." Prosecutors noted that Hastert could not be charged with sex crimes because the statute of limitations had long passed. The Hastert investigation, according to the court filing, began in April 2012, when a bank compliance officer preparing for a routine exam unrelated to Hastert noticed a strange series of seven $50,000 cash withdrawals made from Hastert's account in Yorkville dating to 2010. When a risk management officer spoke to Hastert about the withdrawals, Hastert initially said that they were "none of his business." For a few months after that conversation, Hastert stopped withdrawing money, according to the court filing. When the transactions resumed that July, the withdrawals were in $9,000 increments, below the $10,000 threshold requiring them to be reported to regulators. The FBI and the Internal Revenue Service learned of the suspicious activity as well as similar large withdrawals from two other bank accounts held in Hastert's name. In less than two years, Hastert had taken out $775,000 in cash from the three accounts, with the increments dropping from $50,000 to $9,000 each time. With Hastert's status as the former House speaker, and in light of his job at the time as a high-profile lobbyist, federal agents worried that the withdrawals signaled that Hastert was involved in criminal activity, either as a perpetrator or a victim. By late 2014, the withdrawals totaled $1.7 million. On Dec. 8, 2014, FBI agents confronted Hastert at his home in Plano. He told them bank officials had given him a "real hassle" when he'd withdrawn $50,000 and that he didn't want them "calling up all the time," according to the court filing. Hastert said he was not in any kind of trouble but was keeping his cash "in a safe place" because he didn't think banks were secure, an explanation the agents viewed with skepticism. Shortly after that interview, Hastert's lawyers contacted the government to make a startling accusation: The former speaker was being extorted by a former Yorkville High School student and wrestler — the man who came to be called Individual A — who threatened to go public with a false allegation that Hastert had inappropriately touched him during a wrestling trip decades ago. He demanded $3.5 million in hush money. Hastert agreed to record conversations with Individual A. In the first call, in early March, Hastert told Individual A at the direction of the FBI that he needed more time to get the next $100,000 payment. Individual A agreed to the delay. Three weeks later, Hastert again placed a recorded call to Individual A. This time, agents had instructed him to "push back" against Individual A, to say he had been falsely accused and he wanted the payments to finally end. Instead, Hastert repeated the same story from the first call, saying he needed more time. In both calls, agents and federal prosecutors noted that Individual A's tone and comments did not sound like someone committing extortion. Individual A did not threaten to go public. He did not seem angry that Hastert had asked for more time. Indeed, he was sympathetic to Hastert. In the second call, in fact, Individual A said he understood his agreement with Hastert was a "private, personal matter" and nobody else's business. He offered to slow the payments down and asked about keeping their stories straight. He also reminded Hastert that he had wanted to bring in "two close confidantes" of Hastert's to help them reach an agreement and that he also wanted to involve lawyers in the deal to make it "legal." Hastert had refused. Agents confronted Individual A. He told them that when he was a wrestler for Hastert's team in the 1970s, the coach had invited him to attend a wrestling camp with other boys that included a two-night stay in a motel. Hastert, the only adult on the trip, told Individual A he would stay in the coach's room, while the other boys slept in another room, according to the court filing. When it was time for bed, Individual A went to Hastert's room, where the coach told him he wanted to "check on" a groin pull he had complained about. According to Individual A's account, Hastert told him to lie on the bed and take off his underwear, then began massaging his groin area in a way that was clearly inappropriate, the filing stated. Individual A "jumped off the bed, grabbed his underwear and ran across the room to slouch in a chair," the filing said. He was confused and embarrassed and wound up apologizing to Hastert. The two slept in the same bed that night, though the next night Individual A refused to go to Hastert's room, according to the court filing. It was not until 2010 that Individual A said he began thinking about confronting Hastert about the long-ago incident. He met with Hastert and asked him "why he had done it." "After a long pause, (Hastert) said that it was a confusing and difficult time in his life," the court filing said. When Individual A asked Hastert how many other boys he had molested, Hastert claimed there was only one other victim. When the two met a couple of weeks later, Individual A said he wanted $3.5 million for what Hastert had done to him, according to the filing. Hastert did not try to negotiate the payment amount. The first cash payment of $50,000 was made at Hastert's Yorkville office. He told Individual A not to buy any "big-ticket items" with the money. They agreed to meet every month and a half for another $50,000 payment but later changed the arrangement to $100,000 every three months, according to the filing. They exchanged the money during meetings in the parking lot of a Yorkville store. In all, prosecutors alleged that Hastert abused five young men, one of whom died in 1995, all affiliated with the wrestling team. The allegations stretch over more than a decade and begin within years of Hastert's arrival as a 23-year-old teacher at the high school in 1965. The Tribune has determined the identity of three of the five men. etc. and the news story continues..

Talks of reconciliation have continued on and off for months, with frequent reports in the Turkish media of an impending breakthrough.

By REUTERS \ 04/08/2016 08:26

ISTANBUL- Turkish and Israeli teams made progress towards finalizing an agreement to mend ties between them in talks in London and agreed a deal will be finalized in the next meeting to be convened very soon, the Turkish foreign ministry said on Friday. The ministry said in a statement its undersecretary, Feridun Sinirliolu, the Israeli prime minister's special envoy, Joseph Ciechanover, and acting chairman of the National Security Council, General Jacob Nagel, met in London on Thursday. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in Washington last week that he expected the talks to yield positive results. During that visit, Erdogan met with a group of leaders of US Jewish organizations. Turkey was once Israel's closest regional ally but ties collapsed in 2010 after the Mavi Marmara incident, where 10 Turkish pro-Palestinian activists were killed by Israeli Marines after violently attempting to breach the Gaza blockade. Talks of reconciliation have continued on and off for months, with frequent reports in the Turkish media of an impending breakthrough. After the Mavi Marmara incident, then prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan put three condition on a normalization of ties: an Israeli apology, compensation and a lifting of the blockade of Gaza. Netanyahu apologized in 2013 and the issue of compensation has apparently been resolved, but the issue of the Gaza blockade remains unresolved. Israeli officials have said Israel would not lift the blockade, which it sees as of cardinal importance to its security, to please Erdogan.

Air Force tech sergeant kills commander before disciplinary hearing at Lackland Air Force Base

By Kolten Parker, Tyler White, and Sig Christenson Updated 5:28 pm, Friday, April 8, 2016

SAN ANTONIO — A tech sergeant at Lackland Air Force Base was being escorted to a disciplinary proceeding by a senior non-commissioned officer Friday morning when the tech sergeant opened fire in the commander's office, killing the commander, a source with knowledge of the attack said. The tech sergeant then killed himself. The senior NCO, a first sergeant, was uninjured, the source said. The murder-suicide left the base locked down for nearly 2 hours, officials said. Law enforcement swarmed Forbes Hall in the Medina Annex around 8:30 a.m. just minutes after reports of an active shooter were made, resulting in a lockdown of the entire base and schools in the area, Brig. Gen. Robert LaBrutta said at a late-morning press conference. Labrutta said the bodies of two men, who have not been publicly identified by officials, were found in a room in Forbes Hall near two pistols. Investigators searched a black Saturn coupe in the parking lot of Forbes Hall hours after the shooting. Evidence markers could be seen next to the vehicle. A source familiar with the incident said both guns belonged to the assailant. No other details about the shooter were immediately available. Another source familiar with the incident said the victim is a squadron commander. At the press conference, military officials refused to confirm details about the two men, including identity, rank and relationship. etc. and the news story continues..

LGBT Approvers Are Tools of Satan

7:00AM EDT 4/8/2016 Bert Farias

One day, a post on my Facebook feed caught my attention. It had a picture of a gay-affirming church at a Gay Pride parade holding up a banner with written letters for all the gay community to see: "God is PROUD of you." People posted passionate comments on that thread throughout the day. Here are some of the comments: "These people call themselves a church, but while they think they are being loving, they are actually expressing hate. Their demonstration of 'love' and 'acceptance' is an encouragement for sinners to remain under God's wrath. That is not God's 'love.'" "Are you saying people with a different orientation are not deserving of God's love?" "How could you possibly read that into what he is saying? God's love sent His Son to us to save us from our sins. Love doesn't affirm us in our sins. We all have an orientation towards sinful behavior. But Jesus Christ came to set us free, so that we will not be subjects of God's wrath on the Day of Judgment. Unless we turn from our sinful orientations, believe and obey the gospel, we will all be condemned to eternal damnation." "Who are any of you to judge GAY folks? Discrimination against people of a different sexual orientation is a socio-cultural bias/discrimination. GOD does not discriminate!" "God does discriminate between good and evil. And in the end Jesus will judge all who have not repented according to their works." "God loves all people but hates all sin. He loves the homosexual person just as much as he loves a liar, a thief, a murderer, etc.... We are all sinners, and He loves us all. But He desires to set us free from our sin. He loves us too much to want us to continue in sin and ultimately end up in hell because God and sin cannot coexist. These people are saying that it's okay to live in sin because God loves you anyway. Basically they're saying I don't care if you go to hell. That's NOT love." Why is this logic and rationale so difficult for people, especially the gay community, to accept? To the LGBT community, I write, God still loves you but cannot endorse or approve your sexual orientation for the simple reason that He would have to change His Holy written Word to do so. "Forever, O Lord, Your Word is settled in heaven." (Ps. 119:89) "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away" (Matt. 24:35). "If anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him. The word I have spoken will judge him on the last day" (John 12:47-48). So it really comes down to believing the authority of God's Word, the Holy Scriptures, doesn't it? This basic and fundamental error of doubting the Word of God is the very reason for the controversy surrounding gay marriage and for man's fall in the beginning. It is the very reason for the curse and calamities that have befallen this world. It set the Law of sin and death into motion. They, specifically Eve, doubted God's Word. And the serpent said to the woman, "Has God really said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?" (Gen. 3:1) It is quite the paradox, that after doubting God's Word and sinning by eating of the forbidden fruit, Adam and Eve covered themselves with fig leaves and hid (v. 7-8). Today, they are coming out of the closet. The Law of sin and death simply states, "The soul that sins must die." Or to say it in modern English, "The soul that practices sin must die and be separated from God forever." To all the LGBT community, I write again by way of illustration, the true Christian community sees your house burning down and is trying to rescue you from certain damnation. Those who are affirming your lifestyle are like those who watch you burn in the hellfire and tell you that everything is alright and God is actually proud of you. Do you see the utter hypocrisy and deception of it all? Do you see the mockery of it? Your approvers are tools of Satan. They are telling you what the devil told Eve. With government, the media and public opinion gone mad, the courts are telling you: "You will not surely die" (Gen. 3:4) They are not your friends! They are your enemies in disguise! The law of sin and death tells us that "the wages of sin is death", but the good news is this: "The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Rom. 6:23). That is a higher law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus that sets every sinner free from the law of sin and death. That same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead will also raise you from the dead. "Come out of your grave!" is the call of the hour for the LGBT community. Surely you have come out of your closet, but your greatest need is to now come out of your grave. You are still dead in your trespasses and sins and need to be made alive. God will do it if you will believe and trust His Word! To the gay-affirming churches, I also write: Your sin is far greater, for to whom much is given much is required, and woe unto those who call good evil and evil good; and cause one of these little ones to stumble (Luke 12:48; Is. 5:20; Matt. 18:6). Perhaps you can find yourself in the following story. One day a certain man went looking for someone to help him change the Bible. First, he went to a church and all they told him was to live clean and holy because some day he will meet Jesus face to face and give an account. Then he went to a school of theology to speak with a wise church history professor. He told him that throughout church history no culture or society or highest court in the land have ever been able to change the Bible. The professor told him that even God Himself cannot change the Bible because He has placed His Word even above His Name (Ps. 138:2b). If He changed His Word He would permanently tarnish His Name and be the biggest fraud of all, for God has said, "I am the same yesterday, today and forever, I change not" (Heb. 13:8) (Mal. 3:6).The man went away and reasoned that he is stuck with the Truth, since out of 7 billion people on the planet, he could not find one that has ever been able to change the Bible. God will never change His laws or His Word for anybody. All you gay-affirming "churches," I warn you with tears, you are preaching another gospel and serving another Jesus. The remedy God offers you is simple. Quit adding or altering His Word. Repent of your falsehood and accept and obey the truth. Bert M.

Giant Waves Of Trouble, Men's Hearts Fail With Fear

April 9, 2016 Submitted to All News PipeLine by Minute To Midnite

I think most of us have an inbuilt sense that something is just not right in the world at present. There's a knowing that we have something major coming very soon. Many signs are converging all at once that point to us being in the End Times, and significant new developments seem to occur daily, and in fact almost hourly at times. We watch as the global economy teeters on the edge of a potential collapse. Most of us here are aware of the threat of bank bail-ins, a derivatives meltdown and a move towards a cashless society that will see greater control given to Large Banks and Central Governments. We sense a surveillance state with increasing powers encroaching on our lives. We see new technological developments that give central governments and local governments more powers to spy and control the population being spoken of in various sectors of the media regularly . New restrictive environmental laws that curtail long held freedoms of land owners come into effect state to state and country to country year by year. The introduction of Agenda 2030 ensures that this trend will continue. We get baffled by new bullish laws that seek to enforce the acceptance of the Transgender and LBGT practices on us all with no regard to historical morals and traditional values. We see those that expose the corrupt practices of Planned Parenthood and the abortionists being vilified and facing law suits while the real criminals go on virtually unchecked in their law breaking. The increase in earthquakes and volcanic activity gives rise to additional concerns, and we face a disastrous situation in the Middle East with a potential for nuclear war ever in front of us. To top that off there is unprecedented persecution of Christians on a global scale, while at the same time the threat and spread of radical Islamic terrorism grows. We also have many warnings of the potential approach of the mysterious Planet X that could kick the great Tribulation off and send the world into complete chaos. Is it any wonder that there is a growing sense of fear and despondency among many people? These are the birth pangs, or the beginning Of Sorrows spoken of in Matthew 24:8. We don't know for sure what is ahead of us in terms of the specifics and timing, but we all sense something REALLY BIG is just round the corner so to speak! But none of this is news to God, and he has a plan in this all. If we have ears to hear the leadings of the Holy Spirit, and if our lives are right with God, then we have no need for fear or panic. The following episode of A Minute to Midnite brings both a sobering reminder that what is coming will be incredibly difficult and terrifying for many, and a reassurance that in the midst of it all we can still have internal peace and hope. Giant Wall of Water & Impending Destruction - Prophetic Dream Episode 034 of A Minute to Midnite sees Matt, Tony and Joanie team up to discuss a prophetic dream Joanie had recently, where she saw great destruction coming suddenly and unexpectedly upon America. People will not be ready for it because it will be so severe. In the dream Joanie heard the following words spoken, "The gospel is no longer being preached. The fishermen have abandoned their boats long ago". She then had feeling of horror, and then the ocean began to swell and rise and what she saw is unlike anything the world has ever seen before. Following this Joanie recounts more of what she saw in the dream. Matt, Tony and Joanie then unravel the significance of some parts of the dream, and sound a warning to people of the need to be spiritually prepared for what is coming. It will be unlike anything anyone has ever seen before, as it comes in three waves simultaneously affecting EVERYONE. Many people will be swept away and perish. Their will be massive disarray for a period of time as a result of the sudden destruction. We will see terrifying things. It won't only affect America; but all the nations of the world. However, those who hear the leading's of the Holy Spirit of God will find guidance and safety amidst the devastation. The A Minute To Midnite team discusses some of the many voices who are leading the people this way and that with words that are supposedly of God, and yet they can't all be right. We mustn't be distracted by those voices. God is not just going to tell a select few Christians in some special group or corner, the important things of his plans, what's happening and what to do. No, he will reveal his plans and give guidance to "His People" - that's you and I.!!!!. Any who have ears to hear and a willing heart to receive. It's not just for "super spiritual" some elitist group! The focus of the interview shifts to encourage people to seek God by spending time in prayer, and by putting God first place in their lives. Though the organized church may be asleep, and many Christians may be in a stupor, there is a remnant who are not, and these will find great joy rather than the terror that others are experiencing. It will take faith to follow the leadings of the Holy Spirit, and yet in doing so we will find that God is faithful. Even though there are stark warnings in this discussion, the overall tone and content should bring much comfort and a quiet confidence rather than fear, for those who put their trust in God. More than half the episode consists of encouragement. For "God has not given us a spirit of fear". It's a positive message of hope for us who are in Christ, amidst the tribulations.

After 800 Years, Oxford Theology Students to Swap Christianity for Feminism, Buddhism, Islam Studies

By Anugrah Kumar , Christian Post Contributor April 3, 2016|10:40 am

Graduates are seen queueing to have their photograph taken after a graduation ceremony at Oxford University, Oxford, southern England in this May 28, 2011 file photograph. Not much separates Britain's two oldest universities, Oxford and Cambridge, in their academic standing or the tally of victories in their annual boat race, but when it comes to finances, Cambridge is ahead by several lengths. Oxford University is deviating from its 800-year-old tradition to remain relevant to "the dramatic change" in the U.K., by allowing its undergraduate theology students to skip studying Christianity after the first year of their degree, and choose instead subjects like "Feminist Approaches to Theology and Religion" and "Buddhism in Space and Time." "We recognize that the people who come to study at Oxford come from a variety of different backgrounds and have legitimately different interests," Times Higher Education quotes Johannes Zachhuber, board chairman of the theology faculty, as saying. From September 2017, theology students will have to study Christianity only in their first year, and can opt for other areas, including feminism, Buddhism, Islam and mysticism, from second year onwards. A result of seven years of consultation, the new course will be called "theology and religion" for the first time. "If you have a very rigid curriculum, there will be an increasing mismatch between what lecturers are doing in their research time and what they're having to teach," Zachhuber seeks to explain. "The major driver for change for theology and religion is the dramatic change in the way religion is seen and practiced in the UK," Zachhuber continues. "The dominance of the Church of England has been receding but at the same time religion hasn't disappeared. We want to offer to potential students what is interesting for them and that has changed a lot in the last 30 years." Andrea Minichiello Williams of Christian Concern, tells Daily Mail that he is not happy with the decision of the university concerning one of the oldest degrees offered in the world. "I think it's sad ... The founding fathers of Oxford believed that truth was noble and it was found in the pursuit of theology which we understood to be the study of Christianity," Williams is quoted as saying. A spokesman for Oxford University is quoted as explaining: "Christianity is still compulsory in the first year of the course – in fact there are two compulsory papers on it. So all students on the course will study Christianity. Christianity is still a major part of the course in second and third year, and it's very unlikely that a student would choose options that do not cover Christianity in these years." Benjamin Thompson, associate professor of medieval history at Oxford, adds that his department has seen similar changes in recent years. "These changes are what students want, because a bigger world is affecting them. The most obvious example is the rise of militant Islam, or how well the Chinese economy is doing."

Ken Ham: How Long Will It Be Before the Bible Is Banned and Religious Freedom Is Lost?

By Stoyan Zaimov , Christian Post Reporter April 1, 2016|12:12 pm

Answers in Genesis CEO and President Ken Ham has suggested that it might not be long before the Bible is banned in the Western world, reflecting on news stories of prison chaplains being forced to resign for quoting Bible passages. "This is an alarming example of how quickly Christians are losing religious freedom across the West. In this case, it wasn't even acceptable for this chaplain to use God's Word during a chapel service — a completely voluntary service where those attending would expect to hear from God's Word. It won't be long before we see this happening in other countries, including America," Ham said in an article for AiG Thursday. "And really, the authorities are saying the Bible itself is not suitable for people! How long before it will be outlawed?" Last year, the Rev. Barry Trayhorn, an ordained Pentecostal minister, was forced to quit his job after prison authorities warned him that the Bible verses he was quoting from and telling prisoners were "homophobic." Trayhorn had read parts of 1 Corinthians 6 when speaking to prisoners, which states: "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God." The minister had tried to explain that he was only quoting traditional teachings, and pointed out that prisoners where free to leave the service if they were offended. Still, prison officials said he was breaching equality laws by reciting such verses, and warned him to stop. "I was very angry. All I was doing was preaching the Bible and repeating the same message of repentance that was heard in many services," Trayhorn said back in November. Ham argued that cases like this show that religious freedom in the West is increasingly being targeted. "Christians are increasingly being punished for the free exercise of their faith and for standing on God's Word and holding to biblical convictions about sin. This is especially apparent with the gay lobby. They claim they want acceptance and tolerance, yet anyone who dares express disagreement with their agenda or lifestyle is boycotted or dragged off to court and punished," he argued. "This will only continue as our culture drifts farther from God's Word and becomes more secular," he added, urging Christians to continue to pray for God's will. Ham has made such warnings in the past, notably with the legalization of gay marriage in America last year. "Christians are increasingly being punished by the government for acting on their sincerely held religious beliefs about marriage that are based on the standard of Scripture. And we are hearing of more and more people being disciplined or fired from their jobs because they profess their Christian faith," he said in September, responding to an opinion by the Supreme Court of Ohio which argued that judges should not be allowed to refuse to preform gay marriages if it goes against their religious beliefs.

University Poster Campaign Tells Christian Students to ‘Check Their Privilege’

by Tom Ciccotta6 Apr 2016774

A growing university poster campaign is asking Christian students to check their privilege. Although the campaign originated out of the University of San Francisco, the message has now created backlash with students across the country after the posters went viral on social media networks like Tumblr and Facebook. Although the architects behind the campaign contend that the posters weren’t intended to shame those with “privilege,” students at Virginia Tech, Oregon University, and the University of San Francisco have complained that the posters are dividing students more than they are bringing them together. “Today, I was diagnosed with privilege. Symptoms: white, Christian, straight, ‘cisgender,’ and able bodied,” a conservative student activist at Virginia tech wrote. “Virginia Tech deciding who does and does not have privilege is not okay. Going up to a sign and reading that you should ‘check your privilege’ just because of the situations you were born into, and paths you have chosen for your life, is categorizing and dividing people further.” Southern Oregon University student and U.S. Marine Corps veteran Tim Short made clear that he feels the posters do more harm than good, stating his belief that the posters “are segregating and dividing the population by targeting certain groups.” According to the campaign’s website, the mission of the posters is to “begin the discussion around privilege and social inequalities in an effort to raise critical awareness of the institutional oppression often seen in the United States of America.” Social justice activists at the Jesuit-led University of San Francisco define privilege as “unearned access to social power based on membership in a dominant social group.” The posters list several categories of privilege but puts an emphasis on “Christian privilege,” which it defines with the phrase: “if you can expect time off from work to celebrate your religious holidays, you have Christian privilege.” According to the organizers, the posters went viral on social media sites like Tumblr and Facebook, which has brought the campaign to various campuses around the country. Although the posters suggests that Christians receive an assortment of unearned advantages, there has been much evidence to suggest that university faculty are often hostile to Christian students and their persphttp://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/04/06/hold-poster-campaign-tells-christian-students-check-priviledge/ectives. The 2014 film, God’s Not Dead, resonated with Christians with its story of a philosophy professor who coerced his students into concluding that “God is dead.” Not only have faculty been accused of treating Christians unfairly, but university administrators have allegedly engaged in discriminatory practices as well. In 2015, National Review columnist David French detailed his experience with the university practice of “ideological cleansing,” which he claimed almost cost a Christian applicant a spot on the faculty at Cornell Law School: “the committee almost rejected an extraordinarily qualified applicant because of his obvious Christian faith (he’d attended a Christian college, a conservative seminary, and worked for religious conservative causes). In writing, committee members questioned whether they wanted his “Bible-thumping” or “God-squadding” on campus.” Tom Ciccotta writes about Free Speech, Intellectual Diversity, and Social Justice for Breitbart.

John Hathaway Warns Panic Into Physical Gold To Cause The Price Of Gold To Skyrocket

April 07, 2016

With the U.S. dollar near the lowest level in 6 months, today John Hathaway told King World News a panic into physical gold will cause the price of gold to skyrocket. John Hathaway: “The war in the gold market is fascinating but it’s the war on cash and the central banks’ policy of zero interest rates that really has my attention. That’s what’s really driving money into gold and I think the central banks are now losing the battle. So I think the real story is the war on cash and the war on savings… In Volatile Markets, Is Wealth Preservation King? In a King World News interview I spoke with the man who predicted the Swiss National Bank would experience staggering losses and that the Fed would also experience massive losses that will destabilize the global financial system! His company is the only one in the world offering a precious metals investment service outside the banking system, with direct ownership and full control by the investor. He has also become legendary for his predictions on QE, historic moves in currencies, and major global events. To find out what he and his company can do to help answer that age old question for you CLICK HERE. John Hathaway continues: “We are seeing record inflows into gold ETFs. I’ve been saying for over a year that there is very little gold vaulted in London to support that demand, so you are going to see a scramble for physical gold, which is what the ETFs have to have. That, to me, is the big story. Investors will buy an ETF and then they will see something like the Barclays ETF have a glitch and they will start to ask questions about whether synthetics or surrogates for physical gold are the right thing to own because of the counterparty risks and the type of things we saw with Barclays. So we will start to see more investors move up the food chain into physical metal, but the metal just isn’t available at this price level. You will then see a serious scramble for physical gold and that will translate in to much, much higher prices than what is being quoted today.”

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Must Resign

By Ray Starmann

God told Abraham that he would spare Sodom if he could find ten righteous men. Is their one righteous man in the Pentagon who can save the US military from its impending doom? Last September, General Martin Dempsey retired as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Dempsey’s reign at the Pentagon was a green light to use the US armed forces as some kind of laboratory for the testing and implementation of every lunatic, left wing fantasy of what the military should be like, but in reality, isn’t. Any senior officers not supporting Obama’s Maoist Revolution in the US military were purged under Dempsey, with a speed and efficiency Stalin would admire. Dempsey did more damage to the US military than all the enemies of America in the last 240 years combined. Since taking the helm as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff last October, General Joe Dunford, a Marine and a combat veteran has said nothing as Ash Carter authorized women to serve in the combat arms branches of the military and in special operations units. General Joe said nothing as Secretary of the Navy, Ray Mabus ordered the military to rewrite its manuals and acronym dictionaries with gender neutral terms. General Joe has done nothing as Marines have been ordered to undergo unconscious bias training, the Corps wide brainwashing that will attempt to convince Marines that a 5 foot, 95 pound woman can go up against a 6 foot, two inch, 200 pound Jihadi in hand to hand combat and live to fight another day. General Joe said nothing as the US Navy surrendered two of its heavily armed Riverine craft to Iranian thugs in bass boats. General Joe has said and done nothing as the commanding officer, Lieutenant David Nartker, violated Articles II and V of the US Military Code of Conduct, while a prisoner of the Iranians. General Joe has done nothing as the US continues its feckless air campaign against ISIS. General Joe has done nothing as the Secretary of Defense pushed for the authorization to force American women, ages 18 – 26, to register for a military draft, should one be needed in time of war. General Joe, the scuttlebutt says that you don’t approve of what is happening and have voiced your opinion to Ash Carter, which is like voicing your opinion to a wall. To your country, you remain silent. Why? How is hunkering down in your E Ring office and allowing the complete destruction of the US military by social engineers helpful? As a former US Army officer, I understand how the military works. I know that you must play ball and not rock the boat to be promoted. But, the boat, sir, is sinking. I know that you have spent many years of your life doing your best for the Corps and doing your best to please the boss. I get it. But… The boss, aka President Barack Obama is overseeing the obliteration of not only the Marine Corps, but the entire US military. The boss, aka President Barack Obama is putting the nation in mortal danger by allowing cultural Marxist lunatics to implement policies which are not going just weaken the US military, but annihilate it. Perhaps you’re worried about your career or your retirement benefits. Flash message traffic sir, you’ve reached the glass ceiling. What’s left; command of the Pentagon Library or perhaps a tour of duty in the Pentagon Laundry with Ensign Pulver? You know damned well that what is happening is an abomination and a dishonor to every American soldier, sailor, Marine and airman who has ever worn the uniform. The time for senior officers allowing the military to go down the drain is done. The time for senior officers rationalizing that what is happening is somehow okay, is done. The time for senior officers looking the other way, while an organization they love is being destroyed is done. Do it sir. Resign for the good of the Corps and the US military. Do it for every Grunt, Jarhead, Swabbie, Zoomie, Johnny Reb, Billy Yank, Buffalo Soldier, Rough Rider, Doughboy and GI who gave their lives for this country. Do it for them because they expected better from a nation they died for. Do it for vets, because all of us are you. Once you resign, call a press conference and tell the world why you resigned; because the President of the United States and his lackeys; Ash Carter, Ray Mabus, Eric Fanning and Deborah Lee James are systematically destroying the US Armed Forces piece by piece and replacing it with a politically correct, gender neutral, breastfeeding force so weak that the smallest nations on earth will be able to vanquish us on the field of battle. Resign General Joe and show the nation that there is still one senior officer in the ranks of the US military with enough moral rectitude to tell the truth. Resign General Joe and tell the truth to an American people who do not understand the military and its missions because a majority of the American people has never served a day in uniform. You, General Joe, are the last righteous man standing at the helm. Will you have the moral courage to do what is right and save the US military? Time will tell. Until then, the enemies of this republic have their eyes upon the Pentagon, and they like what they see…moral cowardice.

David Stockman: Wall St.-Washington establishment petrified by Donald Trump

Posted on April 7, 2016 by Dr. Eowyn

Even by The Donald’s standards his 95 minute long interview with the Washington Post was remarkable. He let loose so many stray shots as to leave the establishment press clucking in a chorus of disbelief. It undoubtedly started with the stink bomb he lobbied at the ” all is awesome” meme about the US economy and stock market: Donald Trump said in an interview that economic conditions are so perilous that the country is headed for a “very massive recession” and that “it’s a terrible time right now” to invest in the stock market, embracing a distinctly gloomy view of the economy that counters mainstream economic forecasts. The New York billionaire dismissed concern that his comments — which are exceedingly unusual, if not unprecedented, for a major party front-runner — could potentially affect financial markets. Now there’s an irony. Presumably the last paragraph was written by Bob Woodward who was once the bête noir of the Washington/Wall Street establishment. But like nearly everyone else in the Imperial City he has been drinking the Cool-Aid for so many decades that he was shocked by Trump’s unfiltered bit of truth-telling about an economy that is failing 90% of the American public. Worse still, Woodward was apparently dumbfounded that Trump didn’t self-censor his thoughts about the economic troubles ahead for fear of unsettling the Wall Street casino. That’s right. The cult of the stock market and the notion that the Fed literally controls and powers the US economy through the transmission belt of Wall Street and soaring financial asset prices has gotten so deeply embedded in the establishment narrative that even the pedigreed left-wing of the journalistic establishment has been coopted into reflexively chanting the meme. So imagine Woodward’s consternation when Trump——-the very embodiment of a billionaire financial tycoon—–let loose with the following counterpunch: “I know the Wall Street people probably better than anybody knows them,” said Trump, who has misfired on such predictions in the past. “I don’t need them.” Those last five words are what has the Washington GOP establishment in a cold sweat. The fact is, the Washington based apparatus of the GOP is beholden lock, stock and barrel to Wall Street and the broader financial services industry for sustenance. That is, PAC funds and the K-street influence peddling rackets which make life in the Imperial City so copasetic for careerist politicians and their apparatchiks. Indeed, there is an obvious quid pro quo. The job of the Washington GOP leadership amounts to keeping the free market yokels who frequently get sent to Washington from the conservative provinces busy on everything except the core problem. That is, they are kept distracted whopping it up about neocon war missions abroad, vastly exaggerated terrorist threats at home, the supposed affliction of illegal immigrants who actually do much of America’s low-skill work and the pro-statist agenda of the right-to-lifers, anti-gays and sundry similarly projects of the red state bible-thumpers. Meanwhile, capitalist prosperity is in existential crisis. The central bank’s free money is destroying honest price discovery in the financial markets, deforming the free market allocation of investment and other economic resources, crushing savers, retirees and real entrepreneurs and generating unspeakable windfalls to traders and speculators. Indeed, if you are partial to tin foil hats you might even believe that the GOP leaderships’ kid gloves approach to the Fed had in mind the generation of a Bernie Sanders all along. Bernie has arisen because the sum and substance of Fed policy is massive inflation of financial asset values, and therefore a reverse robin hood redistribution of wealth to the 1%. So what could be more convenient to mobilize the red state base and the blue state left-behinds than a socialist candidacy on the Democratic ticket? Or failing that, a desperate Hillary Clinton who sounds like one? And do not doubt that the GOP establishment is in league with the Eccles Building and its Wall Street suzerains. Do you remember who was chief economic advisor to Mitt Romney? None other than a Columbia business professor and Wall Street shill by the name of Glenn Hubbard. During the heat of the campaign he kept the candidate radio silent on the fundamental issue of our times—–the Fed’s usurpation of vast powers of monetary central planning—–and even averred that Bernanke had been doing a fine job. Said professor Hubbard, he should be considered for reappointment! And don’t even mention the clueless action of Senator McCain in 2008. The man actually suspended his campaign so that he could come back to Washington and help Bush and Paulson bail-out Wall Street; and to authorize the Fed to unleash a torrential spree of money printing that has virtually transformed Wall Street into a dangerous and unstable gambling casino. Woodward’s snarky observation that Trump has “misfired on such predictions in the past” was especially ripe, but absolutely consistent with the establishment meme that all is fixed and getting better by the day. Actually, when did the Fed and its gaggle of Wall Street camp-followers ever predict a recession and subsequent financial market crash? There was not a peep from those precincts in 2000 or 2007. It was all about tommyrot like the goldilocks economy, the Great Moderation and a supposedly minor subprime disturbance that was “well contained”. Yes, most of what Trump has thrown into the debate is outlandish, regrettable, outright deplorable and just plain wrong. The Wall, the ban on Muslims, his call for more torture of enemies, his dog-whistling on race, his cop pandering, his know-nothing position against social security reform and his blatantly sexist name-calling fit some or all of the above categories. And to the outlandish category, now add the blatantly stupid. To wit, Trump’s promise that he will eliminate the national debt in eight years! Even there, however, he can perhaps be praised with faint damn. At least he recognizes that our current $19 trillion of national debt will be $22 trillion by the time the next President is in the saddle, and that its a short slide to national bankruptcy from there. At the end of the day, Trump has petrified the Wall-Street Washington establishment for good reason. He loudly rejects the War Party consensus on foreign intervention. And he has tapped into a deep vein of main street alienation from the phony recovery and economic fixes promulgated by the Fed and its beltway henchman. We had another jobs Friday celebration by the latter and it amounted to the same old, same old. That is, purportedly 100,000 new jobs in retail and bars and restaurants were added, but still no progress where it counts. There are nearly two million fewer full-time, full-pay jobs than there were when Bill Clinton was packing up his bags to leave the White House. Even if the likes of Bob Woodward haven’t figured this out, the unschooled Donald Trump apparently has. No wonder they fear Trump Unbound.

Are We Going to Let the Criminal Elite Steal This Election?

By Dave Hodges

IT IS NOT AN EXAGGERATION TO STATE THAT WHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN NOW AND NOVEMBER WILL DETERMINE THE FATE OF HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS. WE ARE AT A CROSSROADS, AMERICA, AND WE WILL NOT BE GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE. Are You Uncomfortable? Are you one the Trump supporters who is uncomfortable with the fact that one of his campaign managers put his hands on an out of control reporter? Are you uncomfortable in the fact that Donald Trump said “women that have abortions should be punished” (as opposed to be prayed for and welcomed back to the Body of God with a newfound Christian spirit?)? Millions of jobs have left the country! They are not coming back under Clinton, Cruz, Sanders Romney and Ryan. Are you uncomfortable with the fact Donald Trump and the Clinton’s used to be good friends and socialize together? You don’t need to be a bloodhound in order to sniff out the fact that Hillary Clinton is a Satanist sociopath who will stop at nothing to get her way. Is there a chance that Donald Trump was put into play as a candidate just to disrupt the Republican Party, distract the nation’s attention away from Clinton’s criminal and treasonous behavior, and then hand the election to Clinton as the GOP lie in ruins? Of course, it is a possibility. However, America cannot let this potential stand in the way of the tremendous momentum that the patriot community has gained because of Trump’s candidacy. Trump Is the Only Candidate Who Is Speaking on the Two Critical Issues with Any Degree of Substance The American paltry birthrate is 1.8. We need a birthrate of 2.1 to maintain our population. So, yes, America needs immigration to maintain the population. However, all immigrants need to be screened for national security reasons. Nobody should be allowed to come into this country without being vetted. That means no murders, no rapists, no petty criminals and certainly no terrorists. Without immigration, Social Security and Medicare would quickly fall apart. However, we do not need immigration to the level that we have it, unorganized and dangerous. Terrorists are coming across the border with good people who want to become Americans. Trump is the only candidate who will discuss this topic in a meaningful manner. Conversely, fascist corporate America wants off-the-book workers. They have nobody to complain to over illegal working conditions. They can be paid below minimum wage. They can be made to work in unsafe working conditions. They don’t cost the corporation unemployment compensation, social security and all the other fees that American workers cost their employees. They are America’s slave class and the corporations want to keep it this way. And to you immigrants reading these words, Hillary Clinton will never let you become a citizen because it would cost the real people running this country too much money. Under Trump, and with ORDERLY immigration, these slave labor practices, that look more like China, than America, would be stopped. If we do not control immigration, this is what we will one day soon wake up to? America, do you really want to wake up one morning to 50 simultaneous style 9/11 attacks followed by the imposition of martial law under the auspices of President Hillary Clinton? For under Clinton, America will become the United States of Benghazi and anyone that speaks out against Clinton’s criminal enterprise that the mainstream media will call the presidency, will be referred to as “Chris Stevens” and will suffer a similar fate. The second area that Trump stands in the gap against is in the arena of free trade agreements. Since I have written on this extensively, let me suffice it to say that the TPP in combination with NAFTA, CAFTA and now the TPP have and will continue to rob your children of their future. Because of the net effects of these trade agreements, you are soon going to lose everything you have in the The truth about history has been hidden…. Trump stands in the way of the general assassination of America. Trump’s candidacy is in trouble. He will not reach the majority of 1237 votes needed to secure the nomination. The nomination will be handed to Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan who filed to become eligible to run in the general election. The GOP leadership is willing to lose the election than to let Donald Trump’s reforms become the law. The Real Enemy Nearly every Congressman and Senator that is in office due to corporate bribe money! Through attacking the illegal immigration problem and the free trade agreements, Trump threatens to unhinge this entire system of bribery. This is why they hate Trump. Trump AND YOU are a threat to the political well being of every politician and political party official as well as the corporate elite who continue to rape the resources of this country. IF WE DO NOT CHANGE WHO IS RUNNING THE COUNTRY, THEN THERE WILL BE NO COUNTRY. AMERICA, YOUR ENEMY HAS BROKEN INTO YOUR HOME, YOUR LIFE IS IN LITERALLY IN DANGER IF YOU DO NOT ACT, NOW! THE FOLLOWING IS YOUR CALL TO ACTION:

Hacker who exposed Clinton emails extradited to U.S.

Hillary's nightmare: 'Not a coincidence' agency has 'Guccifer,' warns source

Published: 1 day ago

A source close to the FBI’s criminal investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s “home brew” email server says it is “not a coincidence” Romanian hacker “Guccifer” was extradited to the U.S. nine days ago. The ‘Stop Hillary’ campaign is on fire! Join the surging response to this theme: ‘Clinton for prosecution, not president’ FBI agents trying to determine if the presidential hopeful violated a subsection of the Espionage Act related to “gross negligence” during her time as President Obama’s top diplomat are likely thrilled that cyber-criminal Marcel Lehel Lazar is in U.S custody. Lazar’s successful hacking of Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal’s email revealed to the world that clintonemail.com was being used for official business. A Fox News source told Catherine Herridge, the network’s chief intelligence correspondent, that it was “no coincidence” Lazar was extradited. Ron Hosko, the former assistant director of the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division from 2012-2014, concurred. “Because of the proximity to Sidney Blumenthal and the activity involving Hillary’s emails, [the timing] seems to be something beyond curious,” Hosko said, the network reported Friday. Sign up for free news alerts from WND.com, America’s independent news network. Lazar, 44, appeared in an Alexandria, Virginia, federal courtroom for a detention hearing on Tuesday. He is expected to be in the U.S. for 18 months. He was previously serving out a seven-year prison sentence for hacking crimes in Arad, Romania. “I used to read [Clinton’s] memos for six or seven hours … and then do the gardening,” Lazar told a Romanian reporter during a 2015 interview, Fox reported. The conservative website Hotair noted Friday that Lazar’s hacking makes it hard to imagine the FBI not prosecuting Clinton for violations of 18 U.S. Code 793, which covers rules on gathering, transmitting or losing defense information. It states: “(f) Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information, relating to the national defense, (1) through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, or (2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.” “This development, if it pans out, points directly at Hillary herself. It was her server; it was in her possession; and she deliberately chose to evade the law and the security provided by the U.S. government for classified information and its transmission,” Hotair’s Ed Morrissey concluded. Complicating matters for Clinton is her signature on a Sensitive Compartmented Information Nondisclosure Agreement she signed after becoming secretary of state. The document placed the onus on her to recognize sensitive intelligence. “I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with appropriate management authorities in the Department … in order to ensure that I know whether information or material within my knowledge or control that I have reason to believe might be SCI,” the agreement said, the Washington Free Beacon reported Nov. 6, 2015. Clinton told NBC’s Matt Lauer on Friday that she did nothing wrong and will never be charged with a crime linked to her personal email server. “There is not even the remotest chance that is going to happen,” Clinton said. “But look, [Republicans have] been after me, as I say, for 25 years. And they have said things about me repeatedly that have been proven to be not only false but kind of ridiculous.” FBI agents assigned to the investigation are also trying to determine whether co-mingling of the Clinton Foundation and State Department business violated public corruption laws. Bryan Pagliano, a State Department employee who helped set up and manage Clinton’s server, was given immunity from prosecution by the agency.

Japanese Citizens Flee Tokyo En Masse Following Fukushima Disaster

Posted on April 8, 2016 by Sean Adl-Tabatabai in News, World

The elite and wealthy in Tokyo are evacuating en masse due to dangerous levels of radiation following the Fukushima meltdown. One nuclear expert has warned people that they should not only leave Tokyo, but evacuate Japan altogether if they have the financial means to do so. Agreenroad.blogspot.fr reports: She said that she would leave, if she could afford to do so. To find out more about this mega nuclear accident that has been mostly covered up, see; Nuclear Accidents, Recycling, Nuclear Fuel This same process happens after every nuclear disaster, such as Chernobyl, etc. The most financially well off, intelligent and well connected nuclear industry families leave immediately after a nuclear disaster, because they KNOW the dangers, and do not stick around to inhale the worst of the worst. Those people working inside of a nuclear plant that have families make cell phone calls and tell their loves ones to LEAVE, RIGHT NOW! Their children are taken out of harm’s way as soon as possible and are provided KI tablets. Those who are not connected to the nuclear industry and who never hear about how bad it really is, sit and inhale the worst of the worst, with no warming at all, one nuclear disaster after another. The civilians are all treated the same way, no matter which country they live in. Everyone else outside of the closed off nuclear ‘family’ is left to fend for themselves in the raw poisonous and radioactive air, while being told it will cause ‘no immediate harm’. The rich and the connected have the financial means and connections to make a major move quickly. The rich and well connected can afford to leave behind possessions, real estate, businesses, etc. They know what really matters is living in a healthy body, and that is only possible if you are not exposed to massive amounts of radiation that comes from a nuclear reactor that is melting down.

'Demonic' arches rising in New York and London on April 19: 'Welcome signs' for the Antichrist?

Hazel Torres 06 April 2016

Christians should watch out for two events that would take place simultaneously on April 19 in New York City and London, Christian author Michael Synder says. On that day, reproductions of the arch that stood in front of the Temple of Baal in Palmyra, Syria are going to be erected in Times Square and in Trafalgar Square. That would coincide with an occult festival related to the worship of a demon named Baal. Writing for Charisma News, Synder wonders whether the arches to be installed would be the giant "welcome signs" for the Antichrist. The author says his fears are based on these facts: "April 19 is the first day of a 13-day period of time known as 'the Blood Sacrifice to the Beast' that culminates on the high occult holy day of Beltane on May 1," he says. April 19 is also the date of the Feast of Moloch, an ancient Canaanite god that is repeatedly vilified in the Old Testament. Synder also notes a series of horrific events that occurred on April 19:

April 19, 1993 – Waco Massacre: An FBI assault lead to the burning down of the compound of a sect named Branch Davidians, killing 76 men, women and children.

● April 19, 1995 – Oklahoma City bombing – 168 people killed.

● April 20, 1999 – Columbine High School massacre – 13 people murdered, 21 injured.

● April 16, 2007 – Virginia Tech massacre – 32 killed; 17 injured.

● April 16, 2013 – Boston Marathon explosions – 3 killed; 107 injured.

● April 19, 2013 – Boston terrorist Tamerlan Tsarnaev shot to death.

Synder also notes that since 2016 is a leap year, April 20 will be the 111th day of the year, and triple numbers are considered to be "power dates" in the occult world. He says the worship of Baal can be traced all the way back to an ancient king of Babylon that is known in Sumerian sources as Enmerkar, but that is known in the Bible as Nimrod. Nimrod established the very first "New World Order" in the ancient world, and he fundamentally changed the course of human history. After he died, this ancient king of Babylon eventually came to be worshipped as a sun god under different names: Marduk, Osiris, and Apollo among others. Many secret societies and occult groups believe that someday this ancient deity will be "resurrected" and will once again take his place as the ruler of the world. Moreover, many Christian scholars believe that there is a connection between Nimrod and the coming Antichrist. Synder wonders: "Is it just a coincidence that we are erecting arches for this ancient deity in New York and London on a date that is exceedingly significant for those that worship this ancient deity? Could it be possible that there is more to these 'gateways' that are being constructed than we are being told?" The author notes that mankind has entered a period of time known in the Bible as "the last days." "From this point forward, things are going to get much, much stranger. Ultimately, the world that we live in is going to come to resemble something out of a post-apocalyptic science fiction novel," Synder warns.

Will A Gateway Be Opened When The Arch From The Temple Of Baal Is Reconstructed In Times Square?

Part of Temple of Baal that stood in Palmyra, Syria to be reconstructed in Times Square and in Trafalgar Square in London

Michael Snyder | End of the American Dream - April 6, 2016

In April, part of the Temple of Baal that stood in Palmyra, Syria will be reconstructed in Times Square in New York City and in Trafalgar Square in London. The specific portion that is being erected in both cases is the 48-foot-tall arch that stood at the entrance to the temple. The Institute of Digital Archaeology is the organization behind this effort, and the display of these two arches is intended to be the highlight of UNESCO’s World Heritage Week late next month. After seeing my initial story, one of my readers observed that an arch is really just a gateway or a portal. In other words, it can serve as both an entrance and an exit. So could it be possible that we will be unknowingly setting up a gate or a portal of some sort in Times Square? The worship of Baal, also known as Bel, can be traced all the way back to ancient Babylon. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, Marduk was “the chief god of the city of Babylon”, and ultimately he became known as “Bel” or “Lord”… Marduk, in Mesopotamian religion, the chief god of the city of Babylon and the national god of Babylonia; as such, he was eventually called simply Bel, or Lord. Originally, he seems to have been a god of thunderstorms. A poem, known as Enuma elish and dating from the reign of Nebuchadrezzar I(1124–03 bce), relates Marduk’s rise to such preeminence that he was the god of 50 names, each one that of a deity or of a divine attribute. After conquering the monster of primeval chaos, Tiamat, he became Lord of the Gods of Heaven and Earth. All nature, including man, owed its existence to him; the destiny of kingdoms and subjects was in his hands. And it is interesting to note that according to Wikipedia, the name of the city of Babylon is believed to have originally come from an Akkadian word that meant “Gate of God” or “Gateway of the God”… The English Babylon comes from Greek Babylṓn (Βαβυλών), a transliteration of the Akkadian Babili.[5] The Babylonian name in the early 2nd millennium BC had been Babilli or Babilla, which appears to be an adaption of an unknown original non-Semitic placename. [6] By the 1st millennium BC, it had changed to Babiliunder the influence of the folk etymology which traced it tobāb-ili (“Gate of God” or “Gateway of the God“).[7] So now we are setting up a “gateway” or a “portal” for the chief God of ancient Babylon in the heart of our most important city next month. Does anyone else out there find this more than just a little bit creepy? It just seems so surreal that an arch from the Temple of Baal that is nearly five stories high is going to be erected in Times Square in April. But this is actually happening. The following comes from the New York Times… NEXT month, the Temple of Baal will come to Times Square. Reproductions of the 50-foot arch that formed the temple’s entrance are to be installed in New York and in London, a tribute to the 2,000-year-old structure that the Islamic State destroyed last year in the Syrian town of Palmyra. The group’s rampage through Palmyra, a city that reached its peak in the second and third century A.D., enraged the world, spurring scholars and conservationists into action. This sounds like the plot for some really twisted episode of “Stargate” and not something that is supposed to happen in the real world. And as I reported yesterday, the Institute of Digital Archaeology hopes to put hundreds more of these arches in major cities all over the planet. What in the world are they thinking? If we want to take all of this to another level of creepiness, let’s recall what I talked about the other day. Baal evolved from the chief god of the city of ancient Babylon known as Marduk, and Marduk can be traced back to an actual historical person. This historical person was known in Sumerian literature as “King Enmerkar”, and in the Bible he was known as “Nimrod”. Here is a portion of a quote from Peter Goodgame that I included in an article the other day… Traditionally the Tower of Babel event has been associated with Nimrod, and Jewish commentaries as well as the Jewish historian Josephus both seem very emphatic on this point. Regarding the Sumerian name Enmer-kar, the suffix “kar” means “hunter,” and so “Enmer-kar” is in fact “Enmer the Hunter,” just as Nimrod is referred to as the “Mighty Hunter” in Genesis 10. Furthermore, Enmerkar is named on the Sumerian King List as “the one who built Uruk,” just as Nimrod is described in Genesis 10:10 as having a kingdom that began in “Babel (Eridu) and Erech (Uruk)… in the land of Shinar.” After Enmerkar’s death he became honored in Sumerian myth as the semi-divine hero Ninurta, and eventually this cult evolved into the great cult of Marduk, which became the state religion of Babylon after the conquests and religious innovations of Hammurabi. The cult of Marduk was the root of all of the ancient pagan religions of the Middle East, Egypt, Greece and Rome. In those other religions, the deity of Marduk came to be known by other names such as Baal, Osiris, Apollo, etc. And today there are many secret societies and occult groups that look forward to the day when this pagan deity will be resurrected and will return to rule the world once again. This is something that I explained in our latest YouTube video… I know that all of this may sound very strange to you, but many of these secret societies and occult groups take this stuff deadly seriously. And many Christian scholars are convinced that there is a link between the coming of the Antichrist and this ancient pagan deity based on the actual historical figure of Nimrod. So could it be possible that we are laying out a couple of giant welcome mats for this ancient pagan deity by erecting these giant arches in New York and London next month? Could we be opening up gateways and portals that are extremely dangerous and that we simply do not understand? I don’t know about you, but for me the construction of these giant arches is a very, very bad sign… WATCH: NWO Opening Thousands Of Portals To Ancient Demons

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

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

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

What I See Happening In a Trump Presidency
By Bill Bennett

"They will kill him before they let him be president.  It could be a Republican or a Democrat that instigates the shutting up of Trump.

Don't be surprised if Trump has an accident.  Some people are getting very nervous:  Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton and Jon Corzine, to name just a few. It's about the unholy dynamics between big government, big business, and big media.  They all benefit by the billions of dollars from this partnership, and it's in all of their interests to protect one another. It's one for all and all for one.  It's a heck of a filthy relationship that makes everyone filthy rich, everyone except the American people.  We get ripped off.  We're the patsies.  But for once, the powerful socialist cabal and the corrupt crony capitalists are scared.  The over-the-top reaction to Trump by politicians of both parties, the media, and the biggest corporations of America has been so swift and insanely angry that it suggests they are all threatened and frightened.

Donald Trump can self-fund.  No matter how much they say to the contrary, the media, business, and political elite understand that Trump is no joke.  He could actually win and upset their nice cozy apple cart.

It's no coincidence that everyone has gotten together to destroy The DonaldIt's because most of the other politicians are part of the a good old boys club.  They talk big, but they won't change a thing.  They are all beholden to big-money donors.  They are all owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations, and multinational corporations – like Big Pharmacy or Big Oil.  Or they are owned lock, stock, and barrel by foreigners like George Soros owns Obama or foreign governments own Hillary and their Clinton Foundation donations.

These run-of-the-mill establishment politicians are all puppets owned by big money.  But there's one man who isn't beholden to anyone.  There's one man who doesn't need foreigners, or foreign governments, or George Soros, or the United Auto Workers, or the teacher's union, or the Service Employees International Union, or the Bar Association to fund his campaign.

Billionaire tycoon and maverick Donald Trump doesn't need anyone's help.  That means he doesn't care what the media says.  He doesn't care what the corporate elites think.  That makes him very dangerous to the entrenched interests.  That makes Trump a huge threat to those people.  Trump can ruin everything for the bribed politicians and their spoiled slave masters.

Don't you ever wonder why the GOP has never tried to impeach Obama?  Don't you wonder why John Boehner and Mitch McConnell talk a big game, but never actually try to stop Obama?  Don't you wonder why Congress holds the purse strings, yet has never tried to de-fund Obamacare or Obama's clearly illegal executive action on amnesty for illegal aliens?  Bizarre, right?  It defies logic, right?

First, I'd guess many key Republicans are being bribed.  Secondly, I believe many key Republicans are being blackmailed.  Whether they are having affairs, or secretly gay, or stealing taxpayer money, the National Security Agency knows everything.

Ask former House Speaker Dennis Hastert about that.  The government even knew he was withdrawing large sums of his own money from his own bank account.  The NSA, the SEC, the IRS, and all the other three-letter government agencies are watching every Republican political leader.  They surveil everything.  Thirdly, many Republicans are petrified of being called racists, so they are scared to ever criticize Obama or call out his crimes, let alone demand his impeachment.  Fourth , why rock the boat?  After defeat or retirement, if you're a good old boy, you've got a $5 million-per-year lobbying job waiting.  The big-money interests have the system gamed.  Win or lose, they win.

But Trump doesn't play by any of these rules.  Trump breaks up this nice, cozy relationship between big government, big media, and big business.  All the rules are out the window if Trump wins the Presidency.  The other politicians will protect Obama and his aides but not Trump.  Remember:  Trump is the guy who publicly questioned Obama's birth certificate.  He questioned Obama's college records and how a mediocre student got into an Ivy League university.  Now, he's doing something no Republican has the chutzpah to do.  He's questioning our relationship with Mexico; he's questioning why the border is wide open; he's questioning why no wall has been built across the border; he's questioning if allowing millions of illegal aliens into America is in our best interests; he's questioning why so many illegal aliens commit violent crimes, yet are not deported; and he's questioning why our trade deals with Mexico, Russia and China are so bad.

Trump has the audacity to ask out loud why American workers always get the short end of the stick.  Good question!  I'm certain Trump will question what happened to the almost billion dollars given in a rigged no-bid contract to college friends of Michelle Obama at foreign companies to build the defective Obamacare website.  By the way, that tab is now up to $5 billion.  Trump will ask if Obamacare's architects can be charged with fraud for selling it by lying.  Trump will investigate Obama's widespread IRS conspiracy, not to mention Obama's college records.  Trump will prosecute Clinton and Obama for fraud committed to cover up Benghazi before the election.  How about the fraud committed by employees of the Labor Department when they made up dramatic job numbers in the last jobs report before the 2012 election?

Obama, the multinational corporations and the media need to stop Trump.  They recognize this could get out of control.  If left unchecked, telling the raw truth and asking questions everyone else is afraid to ask, Trump could wake a sleeping giant.  Trump's election would be a nightmare.  Obama has committed many crimes.  No one else but Trump would dare to prosecute.  He will not hesitate.  Once Trump gets in and gets a look at the cooked books and Obama's records, the game is over.  The goose is cooked.  Holder could wind up in prison.  Jarrett could wind up in prison.  Obama bundler Corzine could wind up in prison for losing $1.5 billion of customer money.  Clinton could wind up in jail for deleting 32,000 emails or for accepting bribes from foreign governments while Secretary of State, or for misplacing $6 billion as the head of the State Department, or for lying about Benghazi.  The entire upper level management of the IRS could wind up in prison.

Obamacare will be de-funded and dismantled.  Obama himself could wind up ruined, his legacy in tatters.  Trump will investigate.  Trump will prosecute.  Trump will go after everyone involved.  That's why the dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump.

Yes, it's become open season on Donald Trump.  The left and the right are determined to attack his policies, harm his businesses, and, if possible, even keep him out of the coming debates.  But they can't silence him.  And they sure can't intimidate him.  The more they try, the more the public will realize that he's the one telling the truth".

Zika Virus and the Pale Horse of the Apocalypse

February 6, 2016 • From theTrumpet.com By Wayne Turgeon

How do the Bible’s prophetic warnings about coming disease epidemics affect you?

The World Health Organization (who) has declared the Zika virus a “public health emergency of international concern.” The virus is linked to the fetal deformity microcephaly (which can cause neurological defects and seizures), of which there are now over 4,000 suspected cases in Brazil. Over 20 countries have confirmed cases of the Zika virus, with Brazil having an estimated 1.5 million. According to the who’s estimate, around 4 million cases can be expected by the year’s end. Zika is spreading “explosively” through the Aedes mosquito, as well as through sexual intercourse. Brazil’s, El Salvador’s and Colombia’s governments have recommended putting off becoming pregnant for a number of months. Stratfor predicts lower birth rates could “hasten regional decline.” “Lack of vaccines and rapid and reliable diagnostics tests,” plus the “absence of population immunity in newly affected countries” are “cause for concern,” according to who Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan. American and British authorities have issued travel warnings to affected countries, and a number of blood donation operators have put temporary bans on travelers supplying blood. The Pale Horse For those familiar with Bible prophecy, widespread fear of a global pandemic brings to mind the image of the pale, or sickly, horse of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, as described by the Apostle John in the book of Revelation. The first three horsemen of the apocalypse symbolize religious deception, war and famine. Along with the fourth horseman, pestilence, these riders represent the end-time culmination of the most traumatic problems endured by a rebellious mankind. They picture one of the most ominous scenarios ever. “And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth” (Revelation 6:7-8). The key to the identity of the last horseman is the word pale, which often makes us think of someone who is feeling sick, having an anemic-looking appearance. Pale is translated from the Greek chloros, which we would normally take to mean the color of chlorophyll, the property that gives plants their healthy green appearance. When used biblically, however, chloros means the sickly pale green color of sickness and disease. In Matthew 24, Jesus Christ unlocks the true identity of this pale green horse: “and there shall be … pestilences” (verse 7). The man on the pale horse symbolizes climactic, globe-encircling plagues and pandemics occurring and soon to occur in this modern age! The only reason for this type of extreme punishment is man’s unabated rebellion against his Creator God. “As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth” (Daniel 9:13). The book of Daniel is prophecy for this end time (Daniel 12:4, 9). Let’s examine Deuteronomy 28 (part of the law of Moses) and add modern-day expressions to see more clearly how this warning applies to our time now. “But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee .… The Lord shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it. The Lord shall smite thee with a consumption [chronic, degenerate diseases such as aids], and with a fever, and with an inflammation [malaria or communicative diseases such as influenzas], and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew … with the botch of Egypt [elephantiasis], and with the emerods [tumors, cancer, etc.], and with the scab, and with the itch [aggravated psoriasis and other nutrient-deficiency diseases such as scurvy, rickets, etc.], whereof thou canst not be healed [incurable or drug-resistant diseases] … with madness [mental illness, insanity] and blindness, and astonishment of heart [emotional distresses such as depression]” (Deuteronomy 28:15, 21-22, 27-28). Verse 29 graphically depicts the utter hopelessness of mankind suffering from these and the many other innumerable scourges of our generation. In America, health care remains a controversial subject among lawmakers. Billions of dollars are spent annually. We have too many problems already to try to satisfactorily deal with new ones that seem to pop up without warning. To make matters worse, we live in a small world. And what about the prospect of blatant terrorist attacks that damage air, soil and water quality? Millions are prophesied to die because they fail to heed God’s warnings to turn to Him with the type of contrite attitude necessary to please Him (Isaiah 66:2). God wants true repentance—a turning away from the carnal “human nature” that we possess to the spiritual nature God originally intended us to develop. Beyond the suffering, however, Jesus Christ is returning to this Earth to bring all the joy and happiness man has continually sought after! God will mercifully end the deadly sweep of the four horsemen just before they eradicate mankind from the Earth. The Zika virus may not grow to pandemic levels, but disease epidemics are certain to come. For more on this fourth horseman of the apocalypse, as well as the other three, read our free booklet The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. ▪

What the Bible Says About the Zika Virus

2:00PM EST 2/8/2016 Jessilyn Justice

Millions stand in the line of fire of the Zika virus, an explosive mosquito-borne disease that has the power to alter world population. Experts consider the virus especially horrific for pre-born children, who once infected, could be born with "no foreheads and very strange heads." International governments are pleading with couples to avoid pregnancy for the foreseeable future in a move that could fall under Revelation's fourth seal. "When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, 'Come!'" Revelation 6 prophesies. "So I looked, and there was a pale horse, and the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed him. Power over a fourth of the earth was given to them, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth," the passage continues. Watch the video to see more of the connection.

1,000 TONS of sardines wash up in Araucania Chile.

Tuesday, 12 April 2016 Photo Rodrigo Aguilera (RBB)

They have almost disappeared along the west coast of the US but the life of a sardine is not all that it should be off the west coast of South America as 1,000 tonnes of the small fish wash up along the coastal region of La Araucania, Chile. Fisherman were shocked at the sheer size of the mass stranding of sardines According to preliminary reports about a thousand tonnes of dead sardines along the route navigation by the entrance of the river, where they take to the high seas in the Queule cove. The entire estuary is full of dead sardines, the deaths are thought to have been brought on by a natural occurrence? However, the experts said that this situation will have health consequences for the strong odours that emanate as the fish begin to rot.

Boko Haram crisis: 'Huge rise' in child suicide bombers

1 hour ago

Boko Haram's use of child bombers has increased over the last year with one in five suicide attacks now done by children, the UN's child agency says. Girls, who are often drugged, were behind three-quarters of such attacks committed by the militant Islamist group in Cameroon, Nigeria and Chad. It is an 11-fold increase with four attacks in 2014 compared to 44 the next year, including January 2016. The change in tactics reflects the loss of territory in Nigeria by the group. The seven-year insurgency, which has mainly affected north-eastern Nigeria as well as its neighbours around Lake Chad, has left some 17,000 people dead. Unicef says up to 1.3 million children have been forced from their homes across four countries: Cameroon, Chad, Nigeria and Niger. The UN report has been released as Nigeria approaches the second anniversary of the kidnapping by Boko Haram of more than 200 girls from their boarding school in the Nigerian town of Chibok. Their abduction sparked the global campaign Bring Back Our Girls, but none of the girls have yet been found. The report, Beyond Chibok, says that boys abducted and recruited into Boko Haram's ranks are forced to attack their own families to demonstrate their loyalty. Girls are exposed to severe abuse including sexual violence and forced marriage to fighters. A 17-year-old girl who was abducted and is living with her baby in a camp in the Nigerian city of Maiduguri told Unicef that she refused to marry despite death threats. "Then they came for me at night. They kept me locked in a house for over a month and told me: 'Whether you like it or not, we have already married you.'" She says she has often been ostracised since her escape by other women who accuse her of being a "Boko Haram wife". The girls who are used by Boko Haram for bombings are often drugged and then explosives are strapped to their bodies. According to the report, Cameroon has the highest number of child suicide attacks, involving children who are as young as eight. "As 'suicide' attacks involving children become commonplace, some communities are starting to see children as threats to their safety," Unicef's Manuel Fontaine said in a statement. "This suspicion towards children can have destructive consequences; how can a community rebuild itself when it is casting out its own sisters, daughters and mothers?" Boko Haram, which means "Western education is forbidden", has often targeted schools during its insurgency. Insecurity and attacks have kept more than 670,000 children out of the classrooms for more than a year More than 1,800 schools remain closed Many teachers fear returning to the classroom and parents are also scared of sending their children back to school Last year, more than 250,000 children were able to return to schools in conflict-affected areas in north-east Nigeria Source: Unicef Unicef says more than 1,800 schools have been closed, damaged, looted, set on fire or used to shelter those left homeless in north-eastern Nigeria and Cameroon. Children have also been separated by from their parents during the conflict, with Unicef putting the figure at more than 5,000. Over the last 15 months, most of the areas controlled by the militants have been retaken by a multi-national force and the militants are now thought to operate from hideouts in Nigeria's Sambisa forest, near the border with Cameroon. The report says the frequency of all suicide bombings increased from 32 in 2014 to 151 last year, giving this breakdown: etc. and the news story continues..

Obama: Worst Mistake Was No 'Day After' Plan for Libya

VOA News Last updated on: April 11, 2016 4:55 PM

U.S. President Barack Obama said the worst mistake of his presidency was failing to prepare for the aftermath in Libya after the NATO-led intervention toppled Libya leader Moammar Gadhafi in 2011, leaving the country in chaos. Obama reflected on the highs and lows of his two terms in the White House in an interview with Fox News. He told Fox News' Chris Wallace that his biggest mistake was "probably failing to plan for the day after," but he added that intervening in Libya to protect civilians from the Gadhafi regime was "the right thing to do." After the Libyan strongman was killed, months after the United States and European nations launched aerial attacks, the Middle Eastern country was left in chaos that continues to this day. Militias took over with two rival parliaments and governments forming and Libya became a major departure point for migrants trying to reach Europe, helping fuel the continent's immigration crisis. A United Nations-backed unity government has arrived in the capital Tripoli, but neither of the rival parliaments has so far formally backed the U.N.-brokered accord. Obama said he views Libya today as a "mess," and told Atlantic magazine in another interview that British Prime Minister David Cameron became "distracted by a range of other things" after the Libyan operation. Obama also criticized former French President Nicolas Sarkozy for mishandling Libya after Gadhafi's ouster. Applying lesson When asked about the president's remarks during Monday's White House briefing, Press Secretary Josh Earnest quoted Obama's September 2015 speech to the U.N. General Assembly that "our coalition could have and should have done more to fill a vacuum left behind." The White House spokesman said the president has tried to apply the lesson learned in Libya in considering the use of the military in other circumstances. "Asking the question about what situation will prevail and what sort of commitments from the international community will be required after that military intervention has been ordered by the commander in chief,'' Earnest told reporters. The press secretary said the president was not trying to make the point that "any specific ally of the United States had utterly failed to follow through on a specific commitment that they had made, but rather that the United States and our broader coalition had not succeeded in mobilizing the necessary resources to bring about the scenario that we would have eventually liked to see." etc.. and the news story continues..

Mogadishu car bomb kills five at local government HQ

MOGADISHU, | By Feisal Omar and Abdirahman Hussein Mon Apr 11, 2016 9:17am EDT

A car bomb at local government headquarters in Mogadishu killed five people and wounded five, an official said, in an attack claimed by Somali Islamist group al Shabaab. Al Shabaab has frequently attacked government targets, hotels and restaurants in the capital since being pushed out by African Union peacekeeping forces in 2011 and rebasing in the country's south. "We are behind the governor HQ attack," Abdiasis Abu Musab, the group's military operations spokesman, said. On Saturday, another bomb killed three and wounded five in Mogadishu. A police spokesman said that in Monday's attack a suicide bomber rammed a car packed with explosives into the entrance of the headquarters. But mayoral spokesman Abdifatah Omar blamed a car parked at the rear of the heavily fortified compound. "So far we have confirmed five civilians died and five others were injured," he said. The blast, which other reports suggested may have been detonated remotely, destroyed part of a guardroom. "We heard a huge bang and then (saw) huge clouds of smoke over us. We are safe," one female worker inside the compound, who identified herself as Nasra, told Reuters.

Less than 2 weeks ago, ANP told you that there are more and more signs of 'coming mayhem' with nearly 1 out of every 3 Americans now unable to cover basic necessities. The story from Michael Snyder over at the Economic Collapse Blog tells us that global leaders across the planet are beginning to panic as the reality of the global collapse happening now begins to set in. Telling us that we're only now beginning to witness the "opening chapters of a crushing economic crisis that will affect every man, woman and child in the entire world", Snyder continues to break down the signs that the mainstream media is now just beginning to cover, and for once actually using the term 'economic collapse', at least to describe what's now happening in South America. According to two CEO's of major US companies including insider Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, economic tragedy is surely on the horizon. CEO Keith Neumeyer, one of the world’s top primary silver producers First Majestic Silver and the Chairman of mineral bank firm First Mining Finance, tells SGT Report, "there's going to be a major revolt" and "we could well see riots in the streets" in the 2nd video. Neumeyer's warning combined with a new SQ Alert from the website of Steve Quayle republished below could be huge indicators of future stress and unrest in the financial world as China has announced a gold-backed yuan to be unveiled April 19th. Combined with warnings of 'elite blood sacrifices' for this period of time offer Americans another opportunity to be prepared for absolutely anything to happen. With the final months of Barack Obama's presidency combined with the chaotic politics we're now seeing within both the Democratic and Republican parties as well as emergency meetings undertaken between Obama, Biden, members of the Federal Reserve and elitist bankers from around the world, we feel that we're near that boiling point where absolutely anything is possible. As past history during this time period indicates, a false flag or something horrific is a possibility any time in the near future into this summer and through the November election. The new SQAlert.: HEADS UP ON THE 19TH - CHINA HAS ANNOUNCED GOLD BACKED YUAN ON THIS DATE, WILL THIS ANNOUNCEMENT SYNC, WITH ALL THE WARNINGS CONCERNING PENDING TERROR ATTACKS? THE TENSION BEHIND THE SCENES BETWEEN THE U.S. AND CHINA IS BUILDING AND THIS MAY BE THE REASON FOR THE EMERGENCY MEETING BETWEEN OBAMA AND BIDEN TODAY WITH JANET YELLEN. CONSIDER IF YOU WILL THE OUTCOME OF THE CHINESE GOLD BACKED YUAN WHEN CHINA RELEASES THEIR TRUE GOLD HOARD NUMBERS TO THE WORLD AND ALLOW INDEPENDENT AUDIT. REAL WORLD NUMBERS, OF THOSE IN THE KNOW ESTIMATE BETWEEN 19-29 THOUSAND TONS! STRATEGIC DECEPTION BY THE CHINESE IN STATING VERY LOW NUMBERS OF TONNAGE HAVE ENABLED THEM TO ACQUIRE GOLD AND SILVER AT HISTORICALLY LOW PRICES OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS - THE U.S. HAS NO GOLD RESERVES ANY LONGER TO MATCH THE CHINESE - COUPLED WITH ALL THE APRIL 19TH EVENTS SOMETHING HAS CHANGED LAST NIGHT IN THE OVERSEAS GOLD AND SILVER MARKETS - COULD WE BE FACED WITH A MASSIVE US DOLLAR DEVALUATION COUPLED WITH ORCHESTRATED TERROR EVENTS IN SPECIFIC WORLD CITIES INCLUDING THE UNITED STATES? I AM GOING LONG TODAY, MEANING BUYING ADDITIONAL PHYSICAL METALS, AND EVEN IF THE PAPER MARKET SHORTS SELL THEIR PAPER GOLD AND SILVER TO SKIM THE LAST PROFITS POSSIBLE, THERE WILL COME A TIME AFTER SUCH ANNOUNCEMENT WHERE LESS AND LESS PHYSICAL METALS ARE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE - WHEN THE AMERICAN PUBLIC FINALLY GETS IT - IT WILL BE TOO LATE - CALL US AT 406-586-4840 AND GET WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD WHILE YOU CAN - STEVE As Gary Franchi of the Next News Network tells us in the 1st video below, Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase has just issued a very ominous warning to America and the world of 'economic tragedy' upon the horizon. As Franchi drives into our head, the fact that a major CEO of a financial institution is telling us that economic tragedy is imminent is something that we need to take heed of...."if we get lulled into a false sense of security, it's going to be too late." Over at Zero Hedge we have several recent stories including a warning from Bill Dudley, the President of the extremely powerful New York Federal Reserve Bank that 'the American dream has left the house and gone abroad' just the latest concrete sign of where this is all headed while another Zero Hedge story tells us that the problems that we face are unfixable. We also learn from Zero Hedge and the former Chief Economist with the IMF that Japan's economic endgame scenario is now in play. How long before the same thing is happening here? It may soon be too late for the msm to admit what's happening here in America and the western world as the rich have begun fleeing Chicago amid racial strife and the city turning into a 'crime infested hellhole' according to this story at The Daily Sheeple. Will America ever see any real change? As we learn in the final video below featuring Bill Holter with Future Money Trends, "when control is lost, world markets will crash in 24 hours." We're also warned why we need precious metals if we're to weather that coming storm: "Gold and silver is God's money" we are told. As SGT Report echos, there is no incentive for them to change the system except for the time when people actually do reach their boiling point and start to march in the streets because they’ve been thrown under the bus for much too long. And when those riots do start, just as Zero Hedge previously reported during the Greek riots, the price of physical precious metals versus the bank manipulated paper prices will skyrocket. In 2010 the price difference between the two was as high as 40% above the paper spot price as Greeks scrambled for real money in the midst of their country’s collapse. Things will be no different in America when a jobless, hungry, and marginalized majority takes to the streets. When that comes to pass we will see the real value of physical silver and gold emerge, and you can be almost certain that it will be significantly higher than the suppressed paper prices the banks want us to believe.

ZIRP: The Most Destructive Weapon Of Financial Mass Destruction In Existence

April 10, 2016 Pam Barker

It can now be asserted that the ZIRP was a deliberate scheme set up by the banking industry and investment community in tandem with U.S. Federal Government in order to eviscerate the middle class, once and for all. Truly, ZIRP has been their secret “weapon of financial mass destruction” that has been hiding in plain sight. BY STATE OF THE NATION Zero Interest Rate Policy: A Catastrophic U.S. Monetary Policy Maintained By The FED Although the true reasons behind ZIRP are rarely explained, their calamitous effects are nevertheless felt around the nation. There is perhaps no other monetary policy that has been so profoundly destructive to U.S. economy. ZIRP is as ill-conceived as it is doomed to failure. Quite unfortunately for the depositors and investors of the nation, it is now too late to reverse the pervasive damage this covert scheme has wrought on both macrocosmic and microcosmic levels. ZIRP has been in place for so many years now that generations have been financially ruined just as the middle class has been effectively decimated. CAVEAT EMPTOR: The author is not only the son of a life-long estate planner and financial consultant, but also did a stint as an investment broker and financial planner. Back in the 1980s during the Decade of Greed, it was quite clear where all of this was heading. Anyone working on Wall Street and/or related markets knew that a HUGE game was being played on the unaware and uninformed investor. Those related markets include stocks and bonds, currencies and commodities, real estate and insurance, derivatives and carbon. The very nature of this predatory enterprise is to prey on the elderly, the inexperienced, the trusting and the wealthy. Brokers will always look for those who have a large savings stockpile or untouched money market account. The same stock brokers will engage in an illegal practice called churning whenever they think they can get away with it—selling and buying with the client’s account in order to generate sizable commissions. These money sharks are forever looking to pounce on their unsuspecting prey like a cat on a piece of hot tuna. Yes, it was that bad — then in the ’80s — and it’s a thousand times worse now. The entire GE&FS* is completely bankrupt and broke; that’s why they call themselves brokers, as in “stock brokers”. *Global Economic & Financial System What’s really going on here? Whenever a nation’s monetary policy is designed to prop up banks that are Too Big To Fail (TBTF), the citizenry will be financially destroyed. The Federal Reserve — an international crime syndicate which is neither federal nor has hard assets in reserve — has implemented such a cataclysmic policy since 2008. It is known as Zero Interest Rate Policy (ZIRP). The FED used the Great Recession of 2008 as an excuse to implement the current Zero Interest Rate Policy. Not only has it not served its stated purpose, it has wiped out trillions in savings and investments. You see, when the interest rate is effectively maintained at 0% it serves as a great disincentive to keep a savings account. Once upon a time all the conservative folks in America kept their money if safe and sound savings accounts or CDs, as well as in money market accounts. Now that the prevailing interest rates have been nearly zero for so many years, those same folks have felt compelled to move their money into investment vehicles which DO NOT MATCH their risk profiles. Herein lies the crux of the matter. Nobody ever wants to see the buying power of their life savings be eroded due to inflation. When those funds sit in a 0% interest rate-bearing account, they lose buying power by the day. Given the relentless price inflation, especially for food and medicine, the pensioners have really suffered. Rents and mortgages, taxes and insurance only seem to go up as well, as do certain energy costs. The upshot of this ever-worsening predicament is that it has become increasingly easy for the stock broker or investment counselor, financial consultant or estate planner to convince the inexperienced investor to move their life savings into much more speculative investments. This quite purposeful marketplace dynamic has been occurring with greater frequency both prior to and especially since 2008. Those who are uninitiated into the true ways of the markets have been systematically duped into shifting their funds from safe havens over to quite risky capital appreciation funds and the like. Many of those highly speculative equity funds will undoubtedly crash and burn in the not too distant future leaving millions penniless. Pensioners are particularly vulnerable because of their fixed incomes, which are not rising to keep abreast with inflation and other new costs of living. Setting a very bad example The real tragedy here is that the younger generations have not even heard of savings or money market accounts. They are conditioned from a young age to only consider putting their hard-earned money at risk in investments which require a high risk profile and savvy investor mindset. Most people have neither because they do not even understand that the markets are completely rigged. Furthermore, they fail to comprehend that those who really make money in the markets comprehend the methods by which the markets are manipulated so that they can take advantage of knowing how the game is fixed. Nonetheless, the youth and young adults have only been exposed to a marketplace which unrelentingly encourages types of investment which they should not even consider. Everyone is now acculturated from a tender age to go for the big score so as to break free from what has become a debt prison. College students now graduate facing massive student loan debt … and can’t even find a job to pay it off. Many then live off credit cards which only further exacerbates their financial problems. Eventually they adopt the mindset that capitalizing on promising investment opportunities may be their only way out. Of course, the older generations have already been around the block and understand that quick money can always have a downside. Nevertheless, many are now reaching a point of desperation in their finances that they will speculate with what few funds they still possess. This ongoing state of affairs has effectuated the biggest transfer of wealth in history from the middle class to the wealthiest among us. It can now be asserted that the ZIRP was a deliberate scheme set up by the banking industry and investment community in tandem with U.S. Federal Government in order to eviscerate the middle class, once and for all. Truly, ZIRP has been their secret “weapon of financial mass destruction” that has been hiding in plain sight. Conclusion There are many other serious repercussions of a long-term ZIRP which are addressed by the following questions which were posed by ex-Treasury official Paul Craig Roberts. The correct answers to these questions are both sobering and alarming. –> What happens to insurance companies? They’ve got no income on the more-safer form of investment BUT there’s no income; there’s zero interest. –> What happens to income of retirees? They’ve got no income on their savings. –> What happens to pension fund managers? They’ve got no way to allocate the investments that they are managing in a way that there’s some sort of balance, some sort of conservative basis in bonds to match the more risky based stocks, so pension fund management is a mess. –> What’s happened to money market funds? Well if you have zero interest rates you don’t have any most. Many of them closed down.

It dissects in layman’s language what ought to concern every American.

Fleecing the American Taxpayer: The Profit Incentives Driving the Police State [SHORT]

By John W. Whitehead April 11, 2016

If there is an absolute maxim by which the federal government seems to operate, it is that the American taxpayer always gets ripped off. Not only are American taxpayers forced to “spend more on state, municipal, and federal taxes than the annual financial burdens of food, clothing, and housing combined,” but we’re also being played as easy marks by hustlers bearing the imprimatur of the government. With every new tax, fine, fee and law adopted by our so-called representatives, the yoke around the neck of the average American seems to tighten just a little bit more. As with most things, if you want to know the real motives behind any government program, follow the money trail. When you dig down far enough, as I document in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, you quickly find that those who profit from Americans being surveilled, fined, scanned, searched, probed, tasered, arrested and imprisoned are none other than the police who arrest them, the courts which try them, the prisons which incarcerate them, and the corporations, which manufacture the weapons, equipment and prisons used by the American police state. Examples of this legalized, profits-over-people, government-sanctioned extortion abound. In the schools: The public schools have become a microcosm of the total surveillance state which currently dominates America, adopting a host of surveillance technologies, including video cameras, finger and palm scanners, iris scanners, as well as RFID and GPS tracking devices, to keep constant watch over their student bodies. Likewise, the military industrial complex with its military weapons, metal detectors, and weapons of compliance such as tasers has succeeded in transforming the schools—at great taxpayer expense and personal profit—into quasi-prisons. Curiously, none of these efforts seem to have succeeded in making the schools any safer. On the roads: It has long been understood that police departments have quotas for how many tickets are issued and arrests made per month, a number tied directly to revenue. Likewise, red light camera schemes—sold to communities as a means of minimizing traffic accidents at intersections but which in fact are just a vehicle for levying nuisance fines against drivers often guilty of little more than making a right-hand turn on a red light—have been shown to do little to increase safety while actually contributing to more accidents. Nevertheless, these intrusive, money-making scams, which also function as surveillance cameras, are being inflicted on unsuspecting drivers by revenue-hungry municipalities, despite revelations of corruption, collusion and fraud. In the prisons: States now have quotas to meet for how many Americans go to jail. Increasing numbers of states have contracted to keep their prisons at 90% to 100% capacity. This profit-driven form of mass punishment has, in turn, given rise to a $70 billion private prison industry that relies on the complicity of state governments to keep the money flowing and their privately run prisons full, “regardless of whether crime was rising or falling.” As Mother Jones reports, “private prison companies have supported and helped write … laws that drive up prison populations. Their livelihoods depend on towns, cities, and states sending more people to prison and keeping them there.” All the while, the prisoners are being forced to provide cheap labor for private corporations. No wonder the United States has the largest prison population in the world at a time when violent crime is at an all-time low. In the endless wars abroad: Fueled by the profit-driven military industrial complex, the government’s endless wars is wreaking havoc on our communities, our budget and our police forces. Having been co-opted by greedy defense contractors, corrupt politicians and incompetent government officials, America’s expanding military empire is bleeding the country dry at a rate of more than $57 million an hour, and that’s just the budget for the Dept. of Defense for 2016, with its 1000-plus U.S. military bases spread around the globe. Incredibly, although the U.S. constitutes only 5% of the world's population, America boasts almost 50% of the world's total military expenditure, spending more on the military than the next 19 biggest spending nations combined. In fact, the Pentagon spends more on war than all 50 states combined spend on health, education, welfare, and safety. In the form of militarized police: The Department of Homeland Security routinely hands out six-figure grants to enable local municipalities to purchase military-style vehicles, as well as a veritable war chest of weaponry, ranging from tactical vests, bomb-disarming robots, assault weapons and combat uniforms. This rise in military equipment purchases funded by the DHS has, according to analysts Andrew Becker and G.W. Schulz, “paralleled an apparent increase in local SWAT teams.” The end result? An explosive growth in the use of SWAT teams for otherwise routine police matters, an increased tendency on the part of police to shoot first and ask questions later, and an overall mindset within police forces that they are at war—and the citizenry are the enemy combatants. Over 80,000 SWAT team raids are conducted on American homes and businesses each year. All of those nefarious deeds that you read about in the paper every day: those are your tax dollars at work. It’s your money that allows for government agents to spy on your emails, your phone calls, your text messages, and your movements. It’s your money that allows out-of-control police officers to burst into innocent people’s homes, or probe and strip search motorists on the side of the road. And it’s your money that leads to innocent Americans across the country being prosecuted for innocuous activities such as raising chickens at home, growing vegetable gardens, and trying to live off the grid. Just remember the next time you see a news story that makes your blood boil, whether it’s a police officer arresting someone for filming them in public, or a child being kicked out of school for shooting an imaginary arrow, or a homeowner being threatened with fines for building a pond in his backyard, remember that it is your tax dollars that are paying for these injustices. So what are you going to do about it? There was a time in our history when our forebears said “enough is enough” and stopped paying their taxes to what they considered an illegitimate government. They stood their ground and refused to support a system that was slowly choking out any attempts at self-governance, and which refused to be held accountable for its crimes against the people. Their resistance sowed the seeds for the revolution that would follow. Unfortunately, in the 200-plus years since we established our own government, we’ve let bankers, turncoats and number-crunching bureaucrats muddy the waters and pilfer the accounts to such an extent that we’re back where we started. Once again, we’ve got a despotic regime with an imperial ruler doing as they please. Once again, we’ve got a judicial system insisting we have no rights under a government which demands that the people march in lockstep with its dictates. And once again, we’ve got to decide whether we’ll keep marching or break stride and make a turn toward freedom. But what if we didn’t just pull out our pocketbooks and pony up to the federal government’s outrageous demands for more money? What if we didn’t just dutifully line up to drop our hard-earned dollars into the collection bucket, no questions asked about how it will be spent? What if, instead of quietly sending in our checks, hoping vainly for some meager return, we did a little calculating of our own and started deducting from our taxes those programs that we refuse to support? If we don’t have the right to decide what happens to our hard-earned cash, then we don’t have very many rights at all. If they can just take from you what they want, when they want, and then use it however they want, you can’t claim to be anything more than a serf in a land they think of as theirs. This was the case in the colonial era, and it’s the case once again.

CEO Keith Neumeyer Warns: “There’s Going To Be a Major Revolt… We’re Going To See Riots”

Mac Slavo April 10th, 2016 SHTFplan.com

With negative interest rates now the order of the day in much of the Western world, it’s only a matter of time before financial institutions start charging American depositors for the privilege of keeping their money safe in the U.S. banking system. And according to Keith Neumeyer in his latest interview with SGT Report, that could spell disaster for socio-economic stability. Neumeyer, who is the CEO of one of the world’s top primary silver producers First Majestic Silver and the Chairman of mineral bank firm First Mining Finance, says that should The Fed and government policy makers implement negative interest rates and continue on their current course of bailing out big business while impoverishing average Americans, we could well see riots in the streets. Negative interest rates are a way that governments are trying to tax the people… it’s going to start with big corporations that have a lot of cash sitting around in the banks and then it’s going to trickle down to the average person on the street… the people that get hurt are the small investor… the people that could least afford it… the retired people that rely on their interest on their savings that they expected to have… this is all changing… the world is changing… I think there’s going to be a major revolt… If we actually do see negative interest rates in North America… we’re going to see riots. The Fed has lost credibility. And that has left the average person on the street with an air of uncertainty and concern over the stability of the system. This, says Neumeyer, is why many investors, both large and small, have started turning to tangible assets as a safe haven. The Fed is losing credibility… there’s talk of negative interest rates… people are looking to gold now as a safe haven to be in as protection against these major forces that are occurring in the world. But it’s not just the retail investor that is terrified of the consequences of Fed policy. We’re seeing State mining companies go on an acquisition spree looking around the world for gold mines to buy. They are very bottom-up players… very long-term players… a lot of the people we’re talking to are actually looking to buy gold mines… Of course there’s the institutional investor and retail investor who wants to have the physical gold… Last year Neumeyer warned that a global reset is in the cards for sure and urged investors to start positioning themselves for that eventuality. He also famously penned an open letter to the CFTC highlighting the rampant manipulation in the system in which he claimed that a small concentration of market players were attempting to control the price of silver through paper trading. But that manipulation will eventually become ineffective, he says, because industrial and retail demand for physical silver will overwhelm the paper markets: I’m a believer in the market. We go through phases where we have imperfections… and that’s one of the areas now that we have a price fixing mechanism that is very inefficient… it is very damaging to the miners… it’s damaging for investors who believe the metal should be at higher prices… so as long as the regulators allow the banks to sell unlimited amounts of silver and gold, I’m not sure if the system can ever be fixed on its own. What I think is going to happen is there will simply be a physical shortage of metal. We’re consuming more silver today than we ever have as a human race. The use of silver is climbing each year. We’ve seen production in 2015 drop from 2014 in silver. It looks like 2016 is going to be another year for lower silver production as well. Silver is a very rare metal and people don’t understand that. We’re currently mining on a global basis 10 ounces of silver for every 1 ounce of gold. That’s a shocking number. We’re trading at 80-to-1 [silver-to-gold]. So how can you possibly trade at 80-to-1 and be mining at 10-to-1. That relationship cannot possibly last. … The regulators are sitting on their hands… the banks are making too much money… there’s no incentive to change the system… but it will be a supply squeeze that will eventually change the system. As SGT Report echos, there is no incentive for them to change the system except for the time when people actually do reach their boiling point and start to march in the streets because they’ve been thrown under the bus for much too long. And when those riots do start, just as Zero Hedge previously reported during the Greek riots, the price of physical precious metals versus the bank manipulated paper prices will skyrocket. In 2010 the price difference between the two was as high as 40% above the paper spot price as Greeks scrambled for real money in the midst of their country’s collapse. Things will be no different in America when a jobless, hungry, and marginalized majority takes to the streets. When that comes to pass we will see the real value of physical silver and gold emerge, and you can be almost certain that it will be significantly higher than the suppressed paper prices the banks want us to believe.

Japan Sends Helicopter Destroyer to South China Sea

The Japan Maritime Self Defense Force warship will join a naval exercise held off Indonesia this week.

By Franz-Stefan Gady April 12, 2016

Last week, the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF) has dispatched the JS Ise, a 1 3,950-ton Hyūga-class helicopter destroyer, through the South China Sea to participate in the Multilateral Naval Exercise Komodo (MNEK) 2016 hosted by the Indonesian Navy on April 12-16, according to Japanese media reports. MNEK will take place in the waters off the western Indonesian city of Padang, the capital of the province of West Sumatra, and focus on maritime peacekeeping operations, humanitarian aid, and disaster relief scenarios. The last (and first) MNEK was held in 2014 near Batam, Indonesia. The chief of staff of the JMSDF, Admiral Tomohisa Takei, told reporters that he hopes Japan’s participation in MNEK will help sharpen the JMSDF’s tactical skills, build trust, and deepen cooperation among participating countries. According to JMSDF officials interviewed by The Japan Times, the passage of the JS Ise through the South China Sea has nothing to do with the U.S. Navy’s freedom of navigation operations near Chinese-occupied artificial islands in the area. However, an unnamed Japanese official told Sankei Shimbun that the presence of the JS Ise in the South China Sea is sending a “strong message” to China and its building activities there. The Japanese warship also made a port call in Subic Bay in the Philippines last week. Another unnamed Japanese defense official speaking to Yomiuri Shimbun said that the JS Ise’s visit to the Philippines was “aimed at promoting friendly relations, but it also includes a strong message to keep China in check.” A small flotilla of JMSDF warships was also slated to pay a port visit to Vietnam this month, but until now no news has emerged whether this port call took place just yet. During a March 2016 press conference, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hong Lei commented on Japanese warships transiting the South China Sea: “Japan once illegally occupied China’s islands in the South China Sea during WWII. We are on high alert against Japan’s attempt to return to the South China Sea through military means.” The JS Ise ‘helicopter destroyer’ is an aircraft carrier in disguise and one of the most advanced anti-submarine warfare platforms of the JMSDF. It can carry up to 11 SH-60J/K Seahawk anti-submarine helicopters, but could also be modified to accommodate F-35B Joint Strike Fighters or MV-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft. JS Ise also was the flagship of a flotilla that participated in an annual JMSDF-U.S. Navy war game, codenamed Guam Exercise (Guamex), near the U.S.-owned island of Guam in the northwestern Pacific Ocean in January 2016 (See: ”US and Japan Hold Naval Drills off Guam”).

After latest rocket test, North Korea claims it can lob nukes at the US

Kim Jong Un claims "ballistic rocket" will allow nuke strikes on US mainland.

by Sean Gallagher - Apr 11, 2016 11:01am EDT

On Saturday, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's state-run Korean Central News Agency reported that the North Korean government had conducted a ground test of a new rocket engine intended to power the first stage of an intercontinental ballistic missile. The test, which took place at Sohae Space Center in North Phyongan Province near the Chinese border, was hailed as a success. North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un boasted that the engine would make it possible to launch nuclear strikes against the US. "Now the DPRK can tip new type inter-continental ballistic rockets with more powerful nuclear warheads and keep any cesspool of evils in the earth including the US mainland within our striking range and reduce them to ashes,” Kim was quoted as saying, according to North Korea watchdog site NK News. Photos of the test published by KCNA don't reveal whether it was a liquid or solid-fuel rocket engine being tested. Late in March, North Korea performed a ground test of a solid-fuel rocket that may have been for an upper stage of the KN-08, also known as the Hwasong-13 (and previously referred to as the No-dong-C)—a road-mobile ICBM that North Korea has been reportedly developing since at least 2011. And on March 9, North Korea's government announced that it had successfully completed the "standardized" design for a miniaturized nuclear weapon to be carried by ballistic missiles. Last week, the South Korean government warned that officials now believe North Korea could mount nuclear warheads on the medium-range Rodong ballistic missile system—the missile launched in two tests in March. And North Korea claimed the missile tests involved a successful test of ICBM reentry vehicle technology—the portion of a missile required to protect a warhead as it reenters the atmosphere in the terminal phase of its flight. The ICBM capability is part of what Kim said was an essential development of a nuclear deterrent capability, addressing "the need to diversify nuclear attack means at a higher level to cope with the ever-more increasing nuclear threats and arbitrariness of the US imperialists and thus decisively counter nukes in kind.”

Records smashed as more than five months of rain falls in one day in Las Vegas Sunday

Tuesday, 12 April 2016 Photo www.fox5vegas.com

Record-breaking rain drenched Las Vegas throughout the weekend, causing flooding and more than a hundred crashes on the roads. Flash flood warnings were issued Saturday, when 0.81 inch of rain was recorded at the National Weather Service's official measuring site at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas. That handily beat Sin City's previous record for the day, which was set at 0.17 inch in 1943, said Andrew Gorelow, a meteorologist. It now also ranks as the third-highest total amount of rain ever for a single day for the month of April. "April is one of our driest months of the year," Gorelow said.  "We only average 0.15 (inch) for the average month (total)." Sunday also broke the day's record with 0.14 inch of rain, washing out the previous record of 0.13 inch set in 1943. Gorelow said the rain was caused by a low pressure system that had picked up a lot of moisture on the way in from Southern California. There's a 40 percent chance of more showers Monday after 11 a.m. before it clears out by Tuesday and temperatures return to the upper 70s. That will be a welcome reprieve for emergency crews who slogged through the weekend. The Las Vegas Sun reports that the Nevada Highway Patrol responded to 127 crashes, including seven hit-and-run incidents Saturday. Most were caused by a single vehicle hydroplaning. A total of 43 injuries and 77 cases of property damage were noted. The Clark County Fire Department also rescued seven people caught in the flooding Saturday. Four adults believed to be homeless were rescued near the washes along Dean Martin Drive, including one man south of Tropicana Avenue and three others found north of Flamingo Road. One was hospitalized for a minor leg injury. Two adults and an infant child were also rescued from their vehicles stuck in standing water just east of the Strip. The Vegas-based fire department also responded to flooding in Warm Springs, about 200 miles north, to assist a mobile home area. People in four houses found themselves surrounded by flood water for about four hours Saturday evening until the water receded to safer levels around 8 p.m. The homes were raised so no significant damage was reported. "They had to sit and watch the water go by," said Larry Haydu, Clark County's assistant fire chief. In northern Nevada, a recent bout of rainfall brought better news. Lake Tahoe's water level hit its natural rim for the first time in 10 months, with National Weather Service reporting that the lake is now over its rim by half an inch. The lake last reached its natural rim in June 2015. Tahoe hasn't spilled over into the Truckee River since before October 2014. Lake Tahoe had hit a two-year low this past winter.It has been projected to continue rising this spring thanks to above-average snowpack levels.

Chinese Restaurants Found Lacing Their Food With Morphine To Get Customers Addicted

By Erin Elizabeth - April 10, 2016

Close to 35 restaurants in China have been found to be spiking their food with opiates, including morphine and codeine. There is currently an investing to find out exactly how these establishments have been doing it. Food that has been found to have been laced with opiates include noodles, hotpot and lobsters, according to local news, and 5 of the 35 restaurants under investigation are currently being prosecuted. “Consuming soup or hot pots mixed with poppies for a long time will make you become addicted … and eventually lead you to drug abuse in serious cases,” said Wei Tao, deputy chief of the Food Institute with Guizhou Provincial Centre for Disease Control. In an earlier case, one restaurant owner was sentenced to 18 months in prison for lacing his food with poppy powder, a powerful opiate. When mixed with chili oil or Chinese salt, it is hard to detect, especially in low quantities. However, over time the small amounts can build up in the system and seriously affect the human body. China is not known for its high food standards and regulations, however, this news is none-the-less, f&*king crazy. *Article originally appeared at Minds.

Florida billboard reading 'Islam Bloody Islam' sparks worldwide outrage and a petition to have it removed

A billboard reading 'Islam Bloody Islam' appeared over a Florida highway

The sign was paid for by a private individual not an organization or church

People across the globe have expressed their disgust with the sign

A petition to have it removed has earned nearly 2,300 signatures

By Kalhan Rosenblatt For Dailymail.com Published: 16:05 EST, 11 April 2016 | Updated: 18:00 EST, 11 April 2016

A billboard in St. Augustine, Florida, that criticizes Islam is causing international outrage. The words 'Islam Bloody Islam' are written in a red, tattered font on a black background across the 14-foot high sign. Written in in white below the red words the billboard reads: 'Doomed by its doctrine'. The statement has become a source of ire for those who have to look at it every day as well as those across the globe. One neighbor, who lives just feet away from the sign, on highway A1A and Seashore Avenue, told CBS 47 he thought it was inappropriate. Another said: 'Politics, religion that kind of thing - people can get pretty heated about it, so I just try to leave that kind of stuff alone.' One woman, Bonnie Rosen, drove down to see the sign for herself. It was worse than what she expected. 'I was expecting a small five-by-three homemade sign. 'This is horrifying because this tells me that they want everyone in our whole city to read this,' she said. A petition, started by a woman named Becky Williams, hopes to bring the sign down. 'We should always stand up for those in our community who are shown hatred and intolerance. 'We should be outraged that a billboard with this message could in any way represent our community as a whole. 'It is of the utmost importance that we stand against messages and movements that isolate, judge and threaten an entire sect of people who share our same hometown,' the petition says. People from the UK, India, France and Nigeria have signed the petition. 'We are all children of God, and must be tolerant of each other, no matter what sect or belief a person or persons have,' Richard Loftus wrote on the petition. Yvonne Malik wrote: 'Everyone has the right to opinions but not at the expense all those who are innocent. Come now HUMANITY. Global harmony starts with one person at a time.' Some people posted in favor of the sign. 'The sign is accurate. Wake up! There are whole nations abusing human rights, woman rights, and threatening peace in the name of a failed, uncleansed belief that shouldn't even be considered a religion,' one anonymous poster said. CBS 47 contacted the owner of the advertising company that owns the billboard. Robert Harry, Jr, of St Johns Outdoor Advertising told the station it was an individual not an organization or a church who purchased the sign. He called it freedom of speech. The petition has nearly 2,300 signatures.

Report: Two Illegal 'Dreamers' Rape Maryland Girl, Call her Fresh Meat

By: Daniel Horowitz | April 11, 2016

In the latest “act of love” from a pack of violent illegal aliens, police say a 12-year-old girl was raped in Montgomery County, Maryland by two individuals likely eligible for Obama’s executive amnesty. One of them reportedly referred to the girl as “fresh meat” as he encouraged his friend to partake in the act of savagery. The incident occurred on March 26, but the two perpetrators weren’t arrested until Friday, as reported by the Washington Post. The two suspects are Enrique Carbajal, 24, and Victor Tome, 19, who would likely be eligible for the Dream Act supported by both John Kasich and Donald Trump. Montgomery County is a sanctuary jurisdiction in Maryland that does not cooperate with federal immigration officials. How much longer are we going to remain silent and allow this to happen? While there are of course some decent illegal immigrants — though still people who do not belong here — there is a substantial population of violent ones. We are seeing stories like this on a weekly basis, yet the politicians couldn’t care less. Congress is back in session this week, and instead of focusing on sanctuary cities, Obama’s amnesty, cutting off benefits for illegals or implementing visa tracking, they are running out the legislative clock on vacuous pursuits. The Senate is confirming another Obama judge today. This will be Obama 265th district judgeship, which means Obama’s nominees now comprise 40% of the federal district bench. Thus, we must rely on the presidential candidates to give voice to the safety and security of our sovereign citizens for the immediate future. But one particular presidential candidate, Donald Trump’s presumptive pick for vice president, will have a tough time looking Marylanders in the eye in the coming days and telling them he will prioritize Americans first. That is because John Kasich won’t. He hasn’t until now. In Ohio, the Kasich administration has overseen the issuance of driver’s licenses, in-state tuition, and sanctuary cities for illegal aliens. He’s referred to deportations of those without prior criminal records — such as the two men who raped this young girl — as “inhumane.” He’s said his views had “evolved” and that he didn’t want to “see anybody in pain.” Evidently, that sense of “humanity” and compassion doesn’t extend to stories like this or the pain of Sarah Root’s family after she was killed by a drag-racing illegal alien in Omaha, Nebraska. The Maryland primary is on the big northeastern Super Tuesday in two weeks, but the Old Line State stands out in that early voting begins in just three days. Kasich thinks Maryland, and Montgomery County in particular, are fertile ground for his vanity campaign, but he will learn that Marylanders are tired of the very liberal policies he implemented as governor of Ohio. Far from being a playground for liberal Republicans, Maryland’s closed primary is dominated by conservatives who are even more militarized against sanctuary cities because they have dealt with them for so long under the policies promoted by former Gov. Martin O’Malley and the oligarchy in the state legislature.

The new intolerance: Attorneys general try to shut down free speech

By Kim R. Holmes Published April 12, 2016 FoxNews.com

Last week more than a dozen attorneys general gathered in New York. You might think they were there to discuss how to combat crime, the heroin epidemic… maybe even terrorism. They weren’t. Instead they were conferring on how to use the law to punish scientists and researchers who question climate change orthodoxy. That’s right—if your scientific research bucks the party line on global warming, you could face government-inspired lawsuits. The ringmaster of this legal circus, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, was not at all subtle about what he was trying to achieve. He vowed “collectively, collaboratively and aggressively” to investigate whether fossil-fuel companies have misled shareholders about the risks of climate change. And it’s not just state officials who are itching to prosecute dissident scientists. A couple of weeks earlier, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch had told a congressional hearing that she had asked the FBI to look into this question of climate “fraud.” This is perfectly Orwellian. Put aside what you may think about climate change. Should government lawyers be threatening to punish scientists and researchers who may, for example, merely question why the results of some computer models don’t match up with real world events? Should the iron hand of the law be employed to enforce conformity in science, supposedly in the name of a “scientific consensus,” when in fact there is nothing approaching consensus as to whether human activity has us headed for global-warming catastrophe? And if money is such a corrupter of science, as Schneiderman and others argue, why are not the billions of dollars funneled into pro-climate change research, often through government subsidies, fair game for accusations of “fraud”? After all, there are documented instances of pro-climate change scientists misrepresenting evidence in the now infamous “climategate” case at the University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom. You might think such nonsense is isolated, but it’s not. A new breed of intolerance is sweeping all across the land, and to the surprise of many it’s not coming from the right, but the left. Judges, prosecutors, government officials, politicians and activists are increasingly using public shaming rituals and the force of the law to impose their views on people with whom they disagree. Corporate leaders are forced to resign if they don’t toe the line of a particular political agenda. Religious people are punished with fines for their personal beliefs, while a city government (New York City) threatens to fine employers up to $250,000 for “misgendering” bathrooms (i.e., not allowing transgender people to choose which ones to use). Courts routinely overturn laws and referenda over policy differences—a practice that is patently anti-democratic and in many cases unconstitutional. Colleges and universities across America have abandoned free speech and open debate in favor of “speech codes” and “safe spaces” where students need never hear a viewpoint they don’t already embrace. “Due process,” too, is in short supply on campus, where administrators send students accused of sexual assault to kangaroo courts. Not even our local governments are immune from the new spirit of intolerance. A seventh grader, for example, was recently expelled from school for sharing an inhaler with a girl suffering an asthma attack, even though doing so likely saved the girl’s life. There’s a pattern here: All of these abuses are being done in the name of progressive liberalism. No matter what the cause, progressives are increasingly willing to use any means necessary—the law, public shaming and in some cases even a threat of violence (“no justice no peace”) to get their way. It’s not even correct to call progressivism liberal anymore. It has, in fact, become its opposite, an illiberal code of coercion and intolerance—and a movement intent on shaming all those who disagree. It is fast becoming a political force hostile to freedom, democracy and even equality. It champions intolerance in the name of tolerance, closed-mindedness in the name of open-mindedness, and hatred in the name of compassion. It’s the master of double-think—to pretend things other than they really are. Whatever progressivism is, it is not the liberalism of yesteryear. It’s become something much more radical—and mendacious. And it’s threatening the constitutional order, not to mention the civil peace, of the country. Kim R. Holmes is a Distinguished Fellow at The Heritage Foundation. A former Assistant Secretary of State, he’s the author of the new book, "The Closing of the Liberal Mind: How Groupthink and Intolerance Define the Left" (Encounter Books, April 12, 2016).

Court Rules Police Can Legally Make Up Lies to Pull People Over to Fish for Criminal Behavior

Matt Agorist April 11, 2016

The United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals recently ruled that police officers can lie to suspects in regards to a traffic stop — even when no violation has occurred. The ruling essentially gives police officers carte blanche to stop anyone they want for absolutely no reason — merely acting on a hunch. According to the ruling, So long as the facts known to the officer establish reasonable suspicion to justify an investigatory stop, the stop is lawful even if the officer falsely cites as the basis for the stop a ground that is not supported by reasonable suspicion. The court goes on to justify their rights violating and Stasi-esque ruling by claiming it’s okay as long as the officer truly believes the subject of his lies has criminal intent. We emphasize, however, that although our focus is on the objectively reasonable basis for the stop, not the officers’ subjective intentions or beliefs, the facts justifying the stop must be known to officers at the time of the stop. The case in question originated out of a federal court in Montana and involved two men accused of transporting methamphetamine. The suspect, Hector Magallon-Lopez argued that his right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure was violated after he was stopped by an officer who lied to him about changing lanes without a signal. Magallon-Lopez argued, justly, that the evidence against him be thrown out, as it was obtained under false pretense. The court rejected his argument. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the officer lying to Magallon-Lopez was justified so long as the officer had sufficient evidence to support this type of previously illegal investigation. According to the ruling, Officers working with a Drug Enforcement Administration task force obtained authorization to wiretap a suspected drug trafficker’s telephone. From the wiretap intercepts, the officers learned that: (1) on September 27, 2012, a man named Juan Sanchez would be transporting methamphetamine from the Yakima Valley in Washington to Minneapolis, Minnesota. When police found a car that matched the description of Magallon-Lopez and his friend, the cop, without witnessing any infraction of the law, pulled them over. Although the officer had not observed any traffic violations, he told Magallon-Lopez that the reason for the stop was Magallon-Lopez’s failure to signal properly before changing lanes. The officer knew this was not the real reason for the stop, but he did not want to disclose at that point the true nature of the investigation. A subsequent search of the vehicle yielded two pounds of methamphetamine. Using the War on Drugs to justify the complete dismantling of the right to be secure from unreasonable searches and seizures, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has opened yet another door to despotism. Police officers are already required to have reasonable suspicion of a crime prior to detaining citizens, which makes this ruling entirely irrelevant as a tool to aid law enforcement in catching the bad guys. If police already had reasonable articulable suspicion that Magallon-Lopez was breaking the law, lying to the man about why he was stopped becomes trivial and yet simultaneously nefarious. Police abusing questionable rulings granted to them as tools under the color of law — is a common practice. How many innocent people will be targeted by a cop who has a hunch, as a result of this ruling? If history is any indicator, there are likely thousands of future innocent victims just waiting to come across with the wrong cop acting on his skewed intuition anxiously awaiting for the right moment to dole out roadside sodomy in search of a plant.

Police State America wants everyone to carry their birth certificate to the bathroom

Last year, multiple states have pushed bills requiring people to “prove” their gender before using a bathroom. Some of these bills encourage people to report on each other and offer a cash reward for finding someone in the “wrong” bathroom! North Carolina is the first state in America to create 'bathroom police'. The new law enacted in March, bars people from using public restrooms that don't align with the sex on their birth certificates. "The bill was passed by the state legislature in less than 10 hours and then signed by the governor that very same night with very little debate," Oakley says. "And so it's incredibly poorly drafted, leading to all kinds of consequences." Mother Jones asked if cops would be patrolling bathrooms and asking people to show their ID's? "That's a very interesting question. We don't have police officers sitting at public bathrooms all day long," a spokesman at the Raleigh Police Department said. According to the article, police departments were checking with their attorneys to determine whether they could arrest an individual who used the wrong bathroom! "There is absolutely no way to enforce this law, as it relates to the enforcement of the bathroom provisions. It is an utterly ridiculous law" Rep. Rodney Moore said. Welcome to Police State America, where soon everyone will need to carry their birth certificate to the bathroom. Wilmington Police Department, spokeswoman Linda Rawley said the law struck her as strange. "So that means people have to go to the bathroom with birth certificates? Yeah, that was curious to me." While, North Carolina became the first state to enact a law restricting bathroom use by transgender people, at least 10 other states have introduced similar bills this year! If South Dakota's bathroom bill becomes law, "it would require really intrusive examination of students' identity documents and possibly anatomy," says Kris Hayashi, executive director of the California-based Transgender Law Center. Numerous states have been trying to criminalize going to the bathroom: Last year, Texas Rep. Debbie Riddle filed House Bill 1748 that would make it a misdemeanor for a transgender person to use a public restroom that doesn't match their gender identity. Punishment for breaking Riddle’s bathroom law would be up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $4,000 for trans people who use “a locker room, shower facility, or toilet facility designated for use by persons of a gender that is not the same gender as the individual’s ID.” California's AB-1266 would have required people to “prove” their gender before entering a bathroom in a public building – and place a $4000 bounty on those who don’t comply. “Such claim includes equitable relief and damages up to a maximum of three times the amount of actual damage but in no case less than $4,000, and attorney’s fees that may be determined by a court...” Florida's HB 583 would have criminalized transgender people for using the wrong bathroom and charged them with a misdemeanor if they use a restroom inconsistent with their “biological” sex. It would also have given non-transgender people a right to sue if they used a bathroom with a transgender person. Kentucky's SB 76 would have forced people to use a bathroom based on their “biological” sex. It incentivized students to spy on transgender students bathroom habits by offering what amounts to a $2,500 bounty. Is this the America you want, where police are allowed to harass, interrogate and arrest people for using the bathroom?

Here’s Why The GOP Wants to Stop Trump by Cancelling Elections

The truth about the cancelled Colo. caucus

Kit Daniels Prison Planet.com April 11, 2016

The GOP establishment sees themselves as part of the “specialized class” responsible for making political decisions because they believe the public’s “too stupid” to make decisions for themselves. This “spectator democracy,” first described by political insider Walter Lippmann in the 1920s, reduces voters into mere spectators – not participants – in public policy managed by a tiny elite, in this case the GOP establishment. “The compelling moral principle [behind it] is that the mass of the public are just too stupid to be able to understand things,” Noam Chomsky wrote in describing Lippmann’s views. This is the core principle of the GOP establishment: to them, only the elite have the intellect and rationality to decide the public’s best interests. The public at large, on the other hand, cannot manage their own affairs and therefore must be lead like cattle towards the future world envisioned by those in control. Not considered the decision-makers, the American people are meant to be mere bystanders in society, only participating on occasion during political “elections” to decide which one of the elites will “represent” them, such as Hillary Clinton or Ted Cruz. Populist candidates like Donald Trump are not allowed because they’re not compromised and controlled by the establishment. The mainstream media serves the elite by fueling racial tensions, such as using straw man arguments to declare Trump “racist,” which encourages in-fighting amongst the public while the establishment gains more power without adversity. And the media and the elite both want to keep the public locked into the false left-right paradigm which oversimplifies the public’s perception of the world so that they falsely believe that everything is simply black and white, one extreme against the other, conservative vs. liberal, red vs. blue. While stuck in the paradigm, people are led to believe their opponents only exist on the opposite side of this two-dimensional spectrum and are completely unaware of the real power towering above. But during this presidential race, Trump has successfully exposed the real power behind the throne – and that’s why the establishment wants to stop him.

Poll: At least 44 million Arab youths potential supporters of ISIS

By Sierra Rayne April 14, 2016

The results of the 2016 Arab Youth Survey are being portrayed by media outlets such as The Guardian in a rather flattering light. But a critical look at the data reveals some major problems for the West. The survey is intended to represent the views of over 200 million young Arabs in the Middle East and North Africa. About 13% of those surveyed indicated they would consider supporting Daesh (ISIS) if it did not use so much violence. Another 9% were unsure how they felt about supporting ISIS. Thus, what we must read out of this information is that at least 44 million Arab youths are potential supporters of the Islamic State's goals for a global caliphate and imposition of sharia law on the planet. Another 22% of respondents (once again, 44 million youths) said they were not concerned about the rise of Daesh. An additional 1% of those queried (representing another 2 million youths) were unsure about whether or not they were concerned. The mainstream media always attempts to spin polls of this type in the best light possible for the Islamists. Yes, it is true that somewhere in the neighborhood of three quarters of Arab youth state they are not supporters of ISIS, but the number of those who are potential sympathizers is still so great that it represents an existential threat to the free world – and that is the real story we should be focused on.

Top general: 50,000-troop coalition needed in order to crush ISIS

By Catherine Herridge Published April 13, 2016 FoxNews.com

It will take a coalition of 50,000 troops on the ground to defeat the Islamic State, according to the former army chief of staff who spent more than four years serving in Iraq and who is credited, along with retired General David Petraeus, with being the architect of the successful 2007 troop surge there. "Probably around 50,000," said Gen. Raymond T. Odierno during a panel discussion moderated by Fox News for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Odierno, who received the George P. Shultz award for distinguished service, emphasized the 50,000 would not all be U.S. troops, but the coalition would need to be U.S.- led. While the general, who commanded all U.S. forces from 2008 to 2010, said he supports a unified country, he added the U.S. government needs to consider whether Iraq has already been divided into three sectors by the sectarian violence -- Shia, Sunni and Kurd. Odierno fingered the newly emboldened Iran as a primary agitator. "Today, I think it's becoming harder and harder to have a unified Iraq,” he said. “And the reason is I believe the influence of Iran inside of Iraq is so great, they will never allow the Sunnis to participate in a meaningful way in the government. If that doesn't happen, you cannot have a unified Iraq." Odierno, who argued for leaving 20,000 troops in Iraq but met resistance from several senior Obama administration officials as well as then Iraqi President Nouri al-Maliki, said the decision to pull out became a self-inflicted wound. The withdrawal made it harder, if not impossible, for the U.S. government to independently assess what was happening on the ground, at a time when the alienation of the Sunni population fueled the rise of ISIS. "We lost what we call our human intelligence network on the ground,” he said. “I mean we used to have a pretty significant human intelligence operation. So as we pulled out, our U.S. military, we lose it. So we have to depend on Iraqis, which they collect intelligence, but they do it a little bit differently than we do and they look for different things." Speaking at the CIA Wednesday, President Obama touted the air campaign against ISIS, though Odierno said air power can only go so far, and working with the local Iraqis was the cornerstone of the surge. When he was in Iraq, Odierno had first-hand knowledge of the ISIS leader Omar al-Baghdadi, who, at the time was a nondescript bomb maker with control over small Baghdad neighborhoods. "We had captured him a couple of times, released him. He then fled to, I think, Syria. And then he shows (up) - and all of a sudden, I see him on TV making a pronouncement that he's the head of ISIS," Odierno recalled. "You have these individuals who've grown up now fighting the U.S. or whatever - an insurgency - and that becomes their life. And so they continue to grow and grow and grow and some of them become leaders of a movement, which is what he did.” The retired general continued to sound the alarm about military cuts, saying the army has "lost capability" at a time when the likelihood of responding to threats on five continents is not hypothetical. At the same time, the number of American troops dropped from over 100,000 to 50,000. In 2015, the White House sent 450 military advisers to train and assist Iraqi forces battling ISIS, with 5,000 troops. Fox News' William Turner contributed to this report.

ISIS Is Making Inroads in the Southern Philippines and the Implications for Asia Are Alarming

Per Liljas / Zamboanga @perliljas 4:39 AM ET

Islamist extremism is growing in Mindanao, with serious security implications for the region and beyond Musa Muhammad stands at the site where 400 Islamist militants launched an invasion of the southern Philippine city of Zamboanga little over two years ago, sparking 20 days of heavy fighting with security forces. The ruins of his old house can be found there, amid several hundred other razed homes. Since then his family has lived in a sports stadium, refusing to move to a newly built house in another part of town. “This has been our home for 50 years,” he says. “We’re afraid, but we’ll never leave.” The Moros (“Moors”), as the Muslims of the southern Philippine region of Mindanao are called, are known for their intransigence. For centuries, they fought the Spanish, Americans and Japanese for their independence. Today, they are fighting Manila too. Some 120,000 people have died, and millions have been displaced, in the past 40 years of insurgency. (Muddying the picture, a separate communist insurgency is also sporadically waged in parts of Mindanao by the New People’s Army, which is thought to consist of some 3,200 fighters.) Yet many Moros, like Musa, are not victims of a heavy-handed central government but the casualties of infighting among their own kin. The battle at Zamboanga, which led to the destruction of Musa’s home, started off when factions of one rebel group, the Moro National Liberation Front, wanted to signal their displeasure with the peace negotiations with Manila then being carried out by another rebel group, Moro Islamic Liberation Front. It took 3,000 troops to end the rebel occupation of several districts of the city, in an operation that saw 51 insurgents killed and drove 70,000 people from their homes. Now those talks have stalled and, in the frustrated void that has followed their collapse, extremism has taken root. Several Moro outfits have pledged allegiance to terrorist group Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) and carried out attacks in its name. One of those groups is the Abu Sayyaf militia, whose head Isnilon Hapilon — now styled Sheik Mujahid Abu Abdullah al-Filipini — has been appointed ISIS’s leader in the Philippines. Presently, the Philippine army is attempting to strike at the group’s jungle stronghold on the island of Basilan. In one of the bloodiest days for the armed forces in years, 18 soldiers were killed and over 50 wounded on April 9. ISIS claimed responsibility for the killings. Shortly after, Abu Sayyaf beheaded two Filipino hostages. (The group is also holding 10 Indonesians, two Canadians and a Norwegian captive.) “It’s very likely that [Abu Sayyaf] will declare a satellite of the caliphate in the coming year,” says Rohan Gunaratna, an international terrorism expert at S. Rajaratnam School of Security Studies in Singapore. “Once that is done, it will be much more difficult to dismantle these groups.” Already, up to 1,200 Southeast Asians have joined ISIS in the Middle East. Experts now worry that an ISIS stronghold in the southern Philippines will act as a regional lure, providing extremists from across Asia with a place to gain combat experience, before they set act to attack Asian targets or even targets further afield. The Jakarta attack in January that killed four civilians is just a taste of what could come, says Greg Barton, chair in global Islamic politics at Deakin University in Melbourne. “Next time they won’t mess around with pistols but bring assault rifles,” says Barton. “That’s all it takes to turn amateurs into a lethal bunch of killers.” Some claim that the biggest threat currently is that competing, ISIS-inspired groups would seek to upstage each other with small-scale attacks. However, organized, international networks still exist, even if the influence of al-Qaeda, which once funded training camps in the southern Philippines, has waned, along with that of its affiliates. Indonesian operatives are already trading Syria-hardened tutors for weapons and training grounds in Mindanao, reports the ISIS Study Group, an intelligence collective run by the Washington, D.C., think tank Center for a New American Security. The area is evidently attracting insurgents from further afield too. Mohammad Khattab, an alleged bombmaking instructor from Morocco, was reportedly among the five killed militants on Basilan earlier in April. There have been rumors of Muslim Uighurs from China in the area. And in January last year, Zulkifli bin Hir — a Malaysian described as a key facilitator between Indonesian and Filipino extremist groups — was cornered and killed in Mamasapano in central Mindanao, but at the cost of 44 deaths among the Philippine army’s Special Action Force. Five civilians also lost their lives in an operation that turned the tide of support against President Benigno Aquino III’s peace negotiations with the Moro separatists. “Before the Mamasapano tragedy, it looked really promising,” says Richard Javad Heydarian, a security expert at De La Salle University in Manila. “There were even rumors that Aquino would be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Unfortunately a lot of journalists sensationalized the story, fanning anti-Muslim sentiment. Politicians running for office have then been trying to score political points on this.” Further talk of a new, autonomous province within the Philippines for the Moro — it would be called Bangsamoro — has now been suspended until the general elections in May. In the meantime, says terrorism expert Gunaratna, intolerance is putting down deeper roots. As an example, he points to the March 1 assassination attempt on a Saudi cleric, Aaidh al-Qarni. The preacher, who has been on ISIS hit lists, was shot while visiting Western Mindanao State University in Zamboanga for a two-day symposium. “Recent arrests in Malaysia and Indonesia clearly show that a new terror attack from ISIS in the region is imminent,” Gunaratna warns. “And the next one will be bloodier.”

Netanyahu: Israel Prevents Hezbollah From Acquiring ‘Game-Changing’ Weapons

April 12, 2016 10:14 am

JNS.org – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that Israel has prevented the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah from acquiring “game-changing” weaponry as a result of numerous attacks by Israel in Syria. “We are proud that in the stormy and volatile Middle East, we were able to maintain relative calm and relative safety in Israel. We act when we should act, including here, across the border, in dozens of attacks, to prevent Hezbollah from getting game-changing weaponry,” Netanyahu said during a visit with soldiers in the Israeli Golan Heights. Netanyahu’s statements are the latest in a war of words between the Jewish state and the Lebanese terror group. Over the past few months, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has threatened to strike chemical and nuclear sites inside of Israel. But Germany’s Bild newspaper reported on Saturday that Hezbollah has acquired the Russian-made Buk SA-17 missile battery that had been previously given to the Syrian government. The medium-range surface-to-air missile system is designed to target aircraft, missiles, and unmanned aerial vehicles that could potentially be used by Israel in an attack on the terror group.

Anti-Islamic rally organizers in Atlanta encouraging attendees to bring guns, police warn

By Andrew Blake - The Washington Times - Wednesday, April 13, 2016

The head of police for the Georgia State Capitol in Atlanta told employees that the organizers of an anti-Islamic rally expected to be held on Capitol grounds next week are encouraging attendees to bring their guns to the unsanctioned gathering. Although the Georgia Building Authority earlier this year rejected plans for an “United against Islam and Islamic Immigration Refugee Rally” proposed for Monday, authorities this week said they expect organizers to proceed even without a permit. “The Georgia Department of Public Safety and the Georgia Building Authority anticipate a non-permitted, anti-Islamic protest on the sidewalks of the Georgia State Capitol,” Capitol Police Director Lewis G. Young wrote in an advisory Monday, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. “You are hereby notified that protest organizers have encouraged their participants to carry loaded long guns. “DPS is currently monitoring the threat risk and, together with GBA, is taking precautions to make Capitol Hill a safe environment,” Mr. Young wrote. James Stachowiak, founder of the Freedom Fighter Radio podcast, wrote in a February email obtained by the Journal-Constitution that his proposed rally would “raise public awareness to what we perceive as a threat to our nation from Islamic immigration and refugees,” as well as “the dangerous agenda of the current administration.” “We also plan to shred images of Obama, Loretta Lynch, Hillary Clinton and Muhammad along with the shredding of the Koran,” he wrote. “This will be an open carry event with the use of long arms as Georgia law allows.” Mr. Stachowiak said previously that he expects upwards of 200 attendees at Monday’s rally. Attendees are also expected to march to the Atlanta headquarters of CNN “and speak again against the threat of Islamic immigration and refugees and the dangerous agenda of the Obama administration,” according to Mr. Stachowiak’s email. “A Koran will be desecrated on the sidewalks on the public right of away (sic) at the front entrance of CNN.” The head of the Georgia Building Authority did not explain why a permit wasn’t granted, and GBA officials seldom reject such applications, the newspaper reported. Mr. Stachowiak has been labeled a “longtime militia organizer and foul-mouthed talk show host” by the Southern Poverty Law Center, and previously said the Muslim holy book is “nothing more than toilet paper writings spurted from hell and it should be treated with the respect that you would give a piece of dirty toilet paper.” The Georgia chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-GA) asked the organizers of the rally Monday to abandon their plans, “and instead engage in respectful dialogue with their American Muslim neighbors.” “Hatred of Muslims and Islam stems from ignorance,” CAIR-GA Executive Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell said in a statement. “We encourage these protesters to put down their guns, cancel their unsanctioned rally, and meet with representatives of our state’s Muslim community for an open and frank discussion of their concerns.” “As American Muslims, we do not begrudge our neighbors the right to publicly challenge us or our faith,” he added. “But as Americans, we should always debate each other in a civil, respectful and safe manner.”

Christian woman caned for selling alcohol

Shariah penalty applied to 60-year-old non-Muslim

Published: 17 hours ago

On the same day a pair of German tourists were detained by authorities in Aceh, Indonesia, for wearing bikinis at one of the conservative province’s beaches, authorities caned an elderly Christian woman for violating Shariah law. The unnamed woman, 60, was whipped 30 times with a rattan cane in front of a crowd numbering in the hundreds, reported Agence France-Presse. She was charged with the crime of selling alcohol. “This is the first case of a non-Muslim being punished under Islamic criminal bylaw,” Lili Suparli, a senior official at the Central Aceh prosecutor’s office told AFP. While Indonesia is 90 percent Muslim, most areas are more moderate in practice of their faith, but Aceh was granted the right to practice Shariah law in 2001 when granted special autonomy by the central government following a long separatist insurgency. Aceh is perhaps best known as one of the hardest-hit regions by the Dec. 26, 2004, Indian Ocean earthquake. More than 170,000 were killed in the province, with about one-half million left homeless. A peace agreement in 2005, following the tsunami, resulted in further strengthening of Shariah law and enforcement. Don’t yield an inch to Shariah. “Stop the Islamization of America” is a practical guide for resisting creeping Islamization. Until now, Shariah has only been enforced against Muslims for crimes including “adultery, same-sex relationships, drinking and even associating with unmarried members of the opposite sex,” but new bylaws passed last year extended Shariah to non-Muslims under certain circumstances. Islamic leaders dismissed fears the bylaws would be a problem for those of other religions. “The fact is that Muslims in Aceh do tolerate religious freedom and we can coexist without any problems,” Teungku Faisal Ali, head of the provincial chapter of the Muslim organization Nahdlatul Ulama, told BenarNews at the time. “We don’t want to raise the impression that Islamic law in Aceh infringes on the rights of non-Muslims … It doesn’t [force] Shariah law on non-Muslims because they are free to observe their own faiths and beliefs.” On the same day the Christian woman was caned, a Muslim couple accused of adultery was given 100 lashes.

Should Heritable Gene Editing Be Used on Humans?

The medical potential is enticing, but the technology raises biological and ethical concerns

April 10, 2016 10:02 p.m. ET

The development of technology that allows human genes to be edited has stirred tremendous excitement about the potential for treating debilitating and life-threatening diseases. The technology could lead to drugs that would treat cancers and other diseases that currently are incurable. But another facet of this breakthrough has many scientists and others worried: the possibility that the genetic makeup of sperm and eggs could be edited so that diseases that can be inherited won’t be passed on to children yet to be born. One concern is that gene editing that affects future generations, not just an individual, is too risky given our still incomplete understanding of the human genome and how changes might affect it. Another is that the ability to edit heritable traits could result in so-called designer babies, with parents choosing traits such as intelligence or physical characteristics. Others say we can meet those challenges, and the potential benefits are too great to pass up. George Church, professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School, favors a careful exploration of the potential of heritable gene editing. Marcy Darnovsky, executive director of the Center for Genetics and Society, says the risks to individuals and to society are too great. YES: If Evidence Shows the Technique Is Safe and Effective By George Church Editing genetic material in human sperm or egg cells to restore healthy DNA can address significant unmet medical and emotional needs. There are many genetic diseases that could be eliminated in families—Tay-Sachs disease, for example, which causes devastating progressive mental and physical deterioration, with death by the age of 4. For this and other severe genetic diseases without cures, those who carry the harmful genetic variant currently have few choices when they want a child who won’t be afflicted: adoption, egg or sperm donation or abortion of embryos that are stricken with the disease. For many couples, none of those options work. Adoption and donation don’t satisfy the strong desire of many parents to have children of their own lineage, and abortion is unacceptable to many. Genetic editing would allow couples to have healthy children who share their DNA, without harming any embryos—assuming editing is done in sperm or egg cells and not embryos, so that no embryos would be destroyed in pregnancy or using in vitro fertilization. Gene editing of sperm-producing cells could also reduce infertility and spontaneous abortions, which are important medical issues for many families. There’s every reason to expect the practice of editing heritable genes would be safe and effective. Clinical trials of gene editing that is not passed on to future generations are already showing successful cures for HIV-AIDS and leukemia. Many other applications of editing are similarly fruitful. The notion that we need complete knowledge of the whole human genome to conduct clinical trials of heritable gene editing seems at odds with medical reality. We had a very weak understanding of the human immune system when smallpox vaccination began in the 1570s or even when the disease was fully eradicated in 1979. In the case of gene editing, it is very helpful that we can now routinely inspect the whole human genome, if not fully understand it—so that cells that give rise to sperm or eggs for each patient can be checked to see that only the desired mutation is made, with no unwanted DNA changes. Indeed, the latest versions of gene-editing enzymes have zero detectable off-target activities. It is also helpful to know that each edit changes the DNA from a sick version to a healthy version that billions of people share. This is far higher certainty than we have for a completely new drug that has never before been tested on humans. Why not just use gene editing to treat diseases in adults? Gene editing in reproductive cells could be more effective than in adult cells, in many cases. When editing the more-complex adult tissues, it’s hard to avoid mixing incompletely or incorrectly edited cells with correctly edited ones, which can lead to a failure to correct the targeted mutation or even the introduction of new mutations. Moreover, many genetic diseases are very hard to fix after damage is done early in embryonic development. With the proper care, we can also avoid harmful unintended consequences. If a new technology is an improvement over previous practice, then we cautiously implement it for the clearest needs first—watching for opportunities to make it ever safer. For gene editing, we can focus initially on fixing the most deadly, currently incurable genetic diseases in newborns. If these editing therapies are safe and effective, then we can move on to targeting other traits. Probably the most frequently discussed of such traits are those that affect brain function. We know of many genes that affect cognitive abilities in young and old. If we are concerned that the editing of such genes will be used by the rich to get smarter, then we could regulate gene editing and any other means of achieving that outcome—drugs, prenatal genetic selection, adult gene therapy. What seems more likely is that we’ll reduce the cost of gene editing, as we have for genome sequencing, making its benefits widely available. To deal with the resulting ethical issues, we should engage citizens world-wide in a discussion of gene editing for less-severe symptoms and nonmedical uses, while we monitor the clinical trials for the most conservative applications of gene editing. Dr. Church is a professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School. He can be reached at reports@wsj.com. NO: The Biological Risks and Ethical Questions Call for Caution By Marcy Darnovsky Gene editing in humans can refer to two very different things. One use would seek to alleviate patients’ symptoms—or perhaps even cure their diseases—by targeting particular cells or tissues in their bodies. Although past experiments with this approach have been disappointing, recent advances, including new gene-editing techniques, are raising hopes that gene therapy can be made safe and effective. If so, it could be a significant and welcome medical advance. A radically different use of gene editing would target human sperm, eggs or early embryos in an effort to alter the DNA and the traits of resulting children. These genetic changes would be irreversibly reflected in every cell of future children’s bodies, and in the bodies of their children and subsequent generations—in ways that we can’t possibly predict because of the complexity of the human genome. The biological risks and ethical implications of reproductive gene editing would be unacceptable. Previously in Health Care Are Antibacterial Soaps Safe? The Tough New Family Talk: Our Genes How to Take Charge of Your Medical Records Are Low-Salt Diets Necessary for Most People? Hose Calls Might Cut Costs Indeed, the prospect of genetic modification to redesign our children or re-engineer humanity has been widely rejected since it was first contemplated decades ago. Policy makers in dozens of countries, including nearly every nation with an advanced biotechnology sector, have passed laws prohibiting heritable human genetic modification. Opinion polls consistently show large majorities of people recoiling from it. Now, however, some scientists and futurists are pushing for reconsideration. While nearly all acknowledge that attempts to use gene editing for reproduction would be far too dangerous at present, some believe that refinements will soon make it safe enough to try. Most advocate its use to prevent the transmission of inherited diseases, but this justification is tenuous at best. That’s because people at risk of passing on a genetic disease can have healthy children in several safer ways. Using third-party eggs or sperm is one option. Alternatively, those for whom a genetic connection to both parents is important can use the embryo-screening technique known as preimplantation genetic diagnosis to identify unaffected embryos in the overwhelming majority of cases. Preselecting children who have—or who lack—specific traits raises its own ethical concerns, but it’s far less biologically risky and socially consequential than attempting to manipulate future children’s genes. Of course, any effort to prevent the birth of a child with an inherited disease—including experiments with genetically engineering sperm or eggs—would require that parents know they’re at risk of transmitting one, and that they’re willing to use in vitro fertilization, with all its attendant invasiveness, discomforts, risks and financial costs. A few advocates of gene editing for reproduction are openly enthusiastic about “enhancing” future generations. In the near term, they suggest inserting genes such as those correlated with larger muscles or less need for sleep. It’s all too easy to imagine fertility clinics offering “offspring upgrades” to affluent parents, and competitive pressures to make sure your children aren’t “left behind.” Not far down that road, we could see the emergence of genetic haves and have-nots, with new forms of inequality and discrimination. Some involved in the current controversy about human gene editing recognize the perils of genetic enhancement efforts, yet propose allowing reproductive gene editing for traits like a lowered probability of late-onset diseases. But in the real world, one genetic risk is generally traded for another—a gene that confers one kind of biological risk might also protect against another—so, again, the complexity of the genome makes this approach dangerous. And a regulatory line between traits construed as medical and those that are clearly enhancements would be impossible to draw or to hold. The Food and Drug Administration can’t even control off-label use of drugs. Opening the door to one kind of reproductive gene editing would be opening the door to all kinds. Gene editing brings us to a consequential crossroads. We need to think carefully and choose wisely between applications that lead to dangerously unacceptable social consequences, and those that can contribute to human flourishing and well-being.

Russian jets speed past US Navy destroyer in 'simulated attack profile,' official says

By Lucas Tomlinson Published April 14, 2016 FoxNews.com

Two Russian warplanes buzzed a U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer in the Baltic Sea in what a defense official called a "simulated attack profile," one of several close encounters between the destroyer and the aircraft this week. The USS Donald Cook (DDG-75) was conducting flight operations with a Polish helicopter Monday when two Russian Su-24 attack aircraft approached at an “unsafe” speed and altitude and buzzed the Navy destroyer as the helicopter was taking off from the destroyer’s flight deck, the defense official told Fox News. The Russian jets came within 1,000 yards of the destroyer, flying just 100 feet off the ground, a defense official said. The next day, a Russian jet came within just 30 feet of the destroyer, the defense official said. The United States and Russia have an agreement that dates back to 1972 that is supposed to prevent this type of behavior, according to the defense official. Turkey shot down a Russian jet of the same type in late-2015 after the aircraft entered Turkish airspace. The defense official tells Fox News the Russian jets conducted 20 passes in the Baltic Sea incident Monday, ignoring repeated radio calls from the Navy destroyer. The U.S. Navy was able to take photographs and video of the incident and plans on releasing the footage soon. The USS Donald Cook came no closer than 70 nautical miles of Kaliningrad, Russia. The defense official suspects the Russian aircraft flew from Kaliningrad.

CIA, FEMA, DHS Retirees Are Going Into Hiding-Why?

Many are missing the proverbial boat. Many are writing about the bankers and their several meetings. We all know something is amiss. I have covered this in detail for the past 3.5 years. The disappearing bankers are the last step before the SHTF. The real warning signals came over three years ago when ex-intelligence and alphabet soup agency retirees began to collectively retire to remote community enclaves that would make the most die-hard prepper envious. The time to have become concerned was three plus years go. Let me recap what I have spoken about so many times in the past. First let me say, forget the bankers. In most cass the bankers are only one day ahead of the rest of us. For the most part, they are only the brown shirts for the criminal elite. Keep Your Eye On the Ball Three years after ex-Feds and Wall Street Bankers first started to bug out, I have to ask what did the ex-Feds and bankers who bugged out know that the rest of us should have known? THREE YEARS LATER, WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE STILL BUGGING OUT IN EVER GREATER NUMBERS? In my role as a talk show host, I have been approached by individuals who claim to have “insider information” about what is coming, and according to these individuals, what is coming is very bad. Most credible sources demand complete anonymity. As a result, I have found myself in a position to try and evaluate whether to write about and broadcast some very controversial information. Sometimes, my insider information turns out to be stunningly accurate as evidenced by the Chris Stevens murder story which was spot on. My information on the Aurora Batman shootings has also proven to be very accurate. There is a risk in using unnamed sources. Simply, they could be wrong, they could be disinformation agents or they might just be crazy as they are looking for their 15 minutes of fame. It takes a degree of courage to air information derived from confidential sources. Therefore, I want to thank Doug Hagmann for daring to publish his dire warnings which come from an inside source at DHS in December of 2o12. As a result, I subsequently decided to reveal what I knew as well. The decision to air these warnings will undoubtedly encourage others to come forward. Hopefully, so many “insiders” will come forward that it will become impossible to hide what it is coming from those who are actively seeking answers. To the general public, it does not matter what they are told, for they will still believe that the government will take care of them, CNN truthfully reports the news and Santa Claus exists. As a result, these fools will never know what hit them. Although the Hagmann warnings differ somewhat from my sources, there are some common threads. One area that Hagmann’s source did not focus on is the dropping out of sight by ex-federal officials and prominent figures on Wall Street. and that is the remaining focus of this article. Massive Retirements STILL Going On From the Alphabet Soup Agencies When government officials, from the various alphabet soup agencies, retire en masse, it is not necessarily a noteworthy event. However, when the same officials retire en masse and then relocate to form their own survivalist enclaves, then this is something that we should all sit up and take notice of, especially when we are seeing the same behavior on the part of Wall Street executives. In my dealings with purported alphabet soup agency informants, I have been receiving some very dire warnings in terms of what lies ahead for America. Given the above facts, it should be understandable why I found the past Hagmann interview with Rosebud to be a little bit more than interesting. I have had conversations with two insiders and a relative of another insider who tell similar stories of a coming series of apocalyptic events. Much of the Hagmann information, to a large extent, corresponds to the information I’ve received except for the fact that many ex-feds are forming self-sustaining communities. Therefore, this installment will strictly deal with the fact that officials from the NSA, CIA, DHS and FEMA are retiring/early retiring and going into seclusion with their former comrades in arms. DHS and CIA Relocations It is a matter of official agency policy that some current and senior level DHS and CIA officials and their families will be provided safe sanctuary in various strategic locations in Colorado in times of trouble. Most people in the know are aware of the underground facilities which lies below the Denver International Airport which has an underground connected railway to the Cheyenne Mountain NORAD/Fort Carson/Peterson Air Force Base underground facilities. The structures are part of the Continuity of Government program developed by the United States government in the early days of the Cold War. However these facilities are increasingly becoming the planned refuge for many of the global elite residing within the United States when all hell breaks loose. In September 2011, the evacuation of the elite to this safe hideaway was rehearsed in the DHS exercise known as Operation Mountain Guardian in which the Denver airport was shut down to commercial air travel except for specific, undesignated planes which were allowed to land in preparation for some staged catastrophe. This aforementioned event is not newsworthy because it has been reported in the mainstream. However, where this even becomes noteworthy to the public is because it is not coincidental that the CIA has relocated its major data collection facilities to underground structures in the Denver International Airport. The implications for residents living in or near the Washington DC Metropolitan area should be clear. The planned obsolescence for the nation’s capital is becoming increasingly apparent. If I were you and I lived in this area, I would be looking for a new place to live in the very near future. The previous information is what is publicly available. The following information has not been disseminated but is highly relevant to what lies ahead. Ex-CIA and DHS Relocations Parallel to the Colorado being prepared to become the new capital, it is highly relevant to note that retired officials from the DHS and the CIA, who are not part of the privileged elite but who know what is coming, have developed their own enclaves in the Rocky Mountains outside of Denver and Colorado Springs. As it has been described to me that these facilities are a poor man’s imitation of the Denver International Airport facilities. The structures are largely natural, but are very well equipped and the resources include a self-contained air supply. My source for this information is a former DHS insider. His information has proven to be highly credible in the past. NSA Relocations ozarks Recently, retired officials from the NSA have relocated to an area in the Ozarks where they have access to underground safety zone which have/are being transformed into mini-villages of self-sustainable protection. Their properties consist typically of 5 to 10 acres for each family, contains a portable water supply, residents are armed to the teeth, have alternative communications that are not reliant on the grid and have years of stored food. My source is an individual who retired from the NSA almost two years ago. His decision to participate in the relocation was triggered by the impending re-election of President Obama which he said will hasten the onslaught of what is to come because Obama’s administration fully embraces the destruction of America. Ex-FEMA Relocations Recently retired officials from FEMA/DHS are relocating to the rolling hill areas, in North Carolina. Their enclave contains the same resources involving air, water, food and guns. These enclaves also include underground structures which are sensibly self-contained and can serve to isolate the inhabitants from the outside. I have two sources on this information which includes a family member and a retired FEMA official who has chosen not to participate in this relocation. The nonparticipant ex-official from FEMA did not seek sanctuary with these groups because he feels that several of these enclaves will be targeted for destruction by the powers that be because of the knowledge contained by the inhabitants in this case of “dead men tell no tales.” This makes sense because it would allow the elite, following the coming cataclysms, to rewrite history in their own version without any contradiction from knowledgeable individuals that know what really has gone on. This insider knowledge is a threat which would serve as an obstacle to the new truth. Personally, I think this view has a great deal of merit. All informants were clear on one point, when Americans begin to see the massive shifting of military assets accompanied by an increase in the sightings of foreign military, the fun is about to begin. And this is what we unquestionably saw during Jade Helm and what we are seeing in UWEX 16. WHAT ARE THEY RUNNING FROM? The ones that I have had contact with say they are running for the following reasons in order: World War III A deadly purge within the military and the intelligence agencies Chemical and/or biological attack There are other reasons, but these three reasons top the list. However, in the present context, we need to be worried about an economic collapse, first, and terror attacks from ISIS sleeper cells presently operating within the United States. How Much Time Do We Have? The confounding variable in this whole take-over of a collapsed America is the Donald Trump miracle. Trump has awakened millions as to the fact that our country is being run by the criminal elite. They flocking by the millions to websites such as mine looking for truth and a way to prepare for the future. When my FEMA friend bugged out, he told me we had 2 to 3 years. I believe that we are in this time frame, right now. This could happen any time. In the next article, I will be detailing how the Federal Reserve wants to resurrect debtors prisons and turn them into FEMA camps.

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

2016: The Year Americans Found Out Their Elections Are Rigged

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/13/2016 17:30 -0400

Submitted by Nick Bernabe via TheAntiMedia.org,

“Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president. And the same thing applies to governors, and U.S. senators and congress members.” – Former President Jimmy Carter The 2016 election has been a wild ride, with two insurgent grassroots campaigns literally giving the political establishment a run for its money. But as the events of this presidential primary season play out, it’s becoming clear the U.S. election — and even more so, the presidential race — is a big scam being perpetrated on the American people. Events from the last week have exposed the system as an illusion of choice and a farce. They have reinforced at least one study showing the U.S. is an oligarchy rather than a democratic republic. The Wyoming democratic caucus took place on Saturday, purportedly to allow voters to have their voices heard in the race between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Sanders lost the Wyoming caucus by winning it with a 12 percent margin. Wait, what? How does one lose by winning 56 percent of the votes? This happens when the political process is, according to the New York Post, “rigged” by superdelegates. The Post summed up this “strange” phenomenon: “[U]nder the Democratic Party’s oddball delegate system, Sanders’ winning streak — he has won seven out of the past eight contests — counts for little. “In fact, despite his win, he splits Wyoming’s 14 pledged delegates 7 to 7 under the caucus calculus. “Clinton, meanwhile, also gets the state’s four superdelegates — who had already pledged their allegiance to her in January. So despite ‘losing,’ she triumphs 11-7 in the delegate tally.” Even media pundits on MSNBC openly called the process rigged: The superdelegate process is complicated, as we’ve noted before, but they have one essential function: to prevent candidates like Bernie Sanders from winning the Democratic nomination. Don’t believe me? Here’s a video of Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz explaining superdelegates: Adding insult to injury, even when Sanders does win states (despite Hillary’s advantage in superdelegates), the media can be reliably counted on to discount Sanders’s wins as nothing more than prolonging the electoral process, which will inevitably elect the presumptive nominee, Hillary Clinton. This pervasive commentary continues despite the fact Sanders only trails her by several hundred pledged delegates. Meanwhile, according to the same media, the non-establishment Trump campaign is threatened every time Ted Cruz beats him — even though Trump leads by a larger percentage of pledged delegates than Clinton does. When Clinton loses, it doesn’t matter because she already has the nomination locked up. When Trump loses, his campaign is in big trouble. Starting to see the problem with the media coverage? When you examine these media narratives, a troubling pattern emerges that goes beyond the political establishment’s self-interest. You begin to see that American corporate media also functions as an arm of the political machine, protecting establishment candidates while attacking — or dismissing — candidates who seem non-establishment. This brings us to the events that transpired during the Republican nomination process in Colorado on Saturday. The Republican Party of Colorado didn’t even bother letting people vote before using arcane rules to strip the democratic process of its democracy. According to the Denver Post: “Colorado GOP leaders canceled the party’s presidential straw poll in August to avoid binding its delegates to a candidate who may not survive until the Republican National Convention in July. “Instead, Republicans selected national delegates through the caucus process, a move that put the election of national delegates in the hands of party insiders and activists — leaving roughly 90 percent of the more than 1 million Republican voters on the sidelines.” Unsurprisingly, Trump’s non-establishment campaign walked away with zero delegates. They were all “awarded” to Ted Cruz. “How is it possible that the people of the great State of Colorado never got to vote in the Republican Primary? Great anger — totally unfair!” Trump said on Twitter. “The people of Colorado had their vote taken away from them by the phony politicians. Biggest story in politics. This will not be allowed!” In an interview on Monday, Trump was even more frank. “The system is rigged, it’s crooked,” he said. The Colorado GOP didn’t even bother hiding its intentions, tweeting — then quickly removing — what was possibly the most honest insight into the back-door dealing so far this election season: The Republican party chooses the nominee, not the voting public. Still in disbelief? Watch a Republican National Committee member explain it better than I can: What we are witnessing — for the first time on a large scale — is the political establishment’s true role in selecting the president of the United States. The illusion of choice has become apparent. The establishment anoints their two picks for president, and the country proceeds to argue vehemently over the two candidates they are spoon-fed. This dynamic is reminiscent of a prophetic 1998 quote from philosopher Noam Chomsky: “The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum.” Ahh, the illusion of choice. Sure, in reality there are third party candidates who should be given a fair shake, but in our mainstream media-augmented reality, third parties do not exist. They aren’t mentioned. They aren’t even included in presidential debates. This is another way the media stifles healthy debate, stamps out dissenting opinions, and preserves the status-quo. “We The People” don’t choose our presidents; they are hand-picked by a powerful group of political party insiders — parties that have long since sold out to the highest bidders. What we have on our hands in America is a rigged oligarchy, and that’s not a conspiracy theory — it’s fact. Now, however, millions of Americans are becoming aware of it thanks to the populist campaigns of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. America’s elections are controlled by a big club, but unfortunately, “you ain’t in it!”

'Burn The Card' Movement Kicks In To High Gear From Florida To Colorado As Angry Republicans Start Burning Their Voter Cards - The GOP Exodus Begins April 13, 2016

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

For months we have seen report after report in the mainstream news about how the GOP/Republicans have been seeing a massive increase in party registrations with the RNC themselves issuing releases as shown in a March 17 article, stating "Republicans are turning out in record numbers in our primaries and caucuses..." While proudly touting this increase in excitement and attendance in emails, the Republican leadership also started immediately disenfranchising those same voters, making statements like "The media has created the perception that the voters choose the nomination. ...........The rules are still designed to have a political party choose its nominee at a convention. That's just the way it is." (Curly Haugland, an unbound GOP delegate from North Dakota) In fact the corruption and manipulation, the outright arrogance and power-grabbing has been more blatant and in-your-face during the 2016 campaign season than at any point throughout history where the back-room deals and the GOP party's "selection" process where they control the choices "we the people" are given, have always been conducted behind closed doors, but now can be seen in headlines such as The Hill's "GOP chair: 'The party is choosing a nominee'" Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus on Tuesday pushed back on critics of the GOP's presidential nominating process. "This is a nomination for the Republican Party," Priebus said during an interview on WTMJ in Wisconsin. "If you don't like the party, then sit down. I mean, the party is choosing a nominee." Anger has been building against the Republican establishment political class and came to head this week when reports came out that Colorado decided to bypass voters completely, disenfranchizing millions of Colorado voters, and handing Ted Cruz all the delegates for the state. [Update] Via Twitter user @AngelOfTruth16 we are pointed to the Facebook group Colorado GOP Protest, where the following testimony is given by a precinct captain: [End Update] It started with one man, after having documented on video how he was denied entry into the CO convention, then another where he explained how he was threatened for being a Trump supporter, then the last video where he burned his GOP registration. (All three of those videos can be seen on ANP's April 11, 2016 article titled "Revolution Begins In Colorado - Voters Burn Registration Cards As GOP Delegates Are Removed For Voting Trump) #BURNTHECARD MOVEMENT KICKS IN TO HIGH GEAR ANP is accepting videos, pictures, copies of letters sent to the RNC or recording of phones calls made to the GOP and will publish any sent to us in a followup piece, or readers can add any or all of the above to the comment section below. If you have something to share, email tips@allnewspipeline.com  From Florida to South Carolina to Colorado we are seeing others taking their GOP voters cards and/or registrations and burning them on camera, saying they are going Independent, that they will never register as a Republican again. ANP has also been sent emails regarding the "ripoff" in Colorado as readers used the contact information we provided (and will be posted again at the end of this article) to blast the RNC for their corruption. - ANP redacted the names) The first is from someone in Washington state: I just emailed the GOP at their ecampaign address and told them how disgusted I was with their crooked manipulation of the "rules" in order to give Cruz all the delegates. They deserve to lose not only the presidency, but the house and senate too. Doesn't seem to be any difference between voting Dem or Rep anymore. They all drink the same poison. So angry! The next one sent to us is a copy of the letter send to Reince Priebus, from a Georgia resident: Dear Reince, You and your "party" have finally ostricized the U.S. public. You went and basically took away the ability of the people of Colorado to vote for their preferred candidate. You're even using a tool (Let's call that tool Ted Cruz) that you intend to throw away later to further your wants/desires. I, along with my family, friends, and many many internet aquiantances are rather disappointed in your moves to thwart the will of the people. I am separating myself from the GOP, RNC, or whatever you morons want to call yourselves. Your "conservative" values have erroded to nothing more than power grabs and a means to fleece money from the American public. You ignore the will of the people who elected you in the first place. Remember this happened with Reagan...I don't think the RNC as it stands will survive this. You will become nothing more than the "green" party or any of the other failed attempts to thwart the power entrenched in the DNC and RNC - simply two different ends of the same turd. I'm sure you'll all just switch to the DNC since they are your ilk anyway. Then you can manipulate your party any way you see fit - at least you'll all be in the same group. I will not donate another dime to any GOP candidate. I will not donate or contribute anything of monetary value to your cause which, by the way, is no longer "of the people, for the people." I'm sure you're doing what you feel is "right" but meanwhile you're pushing Obama's trade programs as hard as you can - continuing to hamstring the ability of the U.S. to actually make anything. I will not be voting for the republican candidate this year - unless it's Donald Trump. I will simply sit out this vote and watch your party fall apart further. Yes - this will lead to a democrat in office probably Hillary Clinton - that sounds like a really bad plan to me. Now that I know that a D is pretty much equal to an R in most cases, what's the point really? Regardless - you created this, you're responsible. We all know now that you don't care as long as the status quo continues, it probably will for a time. My letter to the RNC in March in response to the email shown above from the RNC: As per your email statement "Republicans are turning out in record numbers in our primaries and caucuses to support a field of candidates offering the course correction America desperately needs." If the Republican party leaders continue along the same path with dirty dealing in order to overturn the will of the people as to the nominee, in other words, you screw us over and "select" someone that does NOT walk into the convention far ahead of others.... you can kiss those record turnouts goodbye. The "base" whom you NEED for the general will show you exactly WHY you need us by staying out of the general and causing you a huge loss..... perhaps THEN you will show the proper respect for "we the people." Susan Duclos All News PipeLine THE GOP EXODUS BEGINS Note- In the videos below, residents in Florida, South Carolina and Colorado are burning their voters cards and/or registration but ANP is offering a SEVERE LANGUAGE WARNING for all but the first video. Generally we try not to embed videos where people are cursing because some readers may be offended at the language, but in this case we have decided to publish them in order for people to understand the profound anger of GOP voters towards the RNC, Reince Priebus and the corrupt political "elite" that have basically told voters to go to hell. If bad language offends you, we suggest you not watch anything after the first video. From Florida - @swampbabe813 Goodbye GOPe! - Burning my GOP voter registration card.

Obama lawlessness: IRS says it’s OK for illegal aliens to use fraudulent Social Security numbers

Posted on April 12, 2016 by Dr. Eowyn | 30 Comments

There is no longer the rule of law in America, and government is the worst offender. The Obama administration has become a lawless administration. See “AG Loretta Lynch wants to let nation break law without consequences“. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) under the Obama administration targeted conservatives and Christians for special scrutiny and even plotted to imprison conservatives. Even when it was discovered, IRS officials like Lois Lerner were not held accountable, which means the IRS can violate the rights of conservatives and Christians with impunity. See “Groups & individuals targeted by Obama’s IRS witchhunt”. The latest case in point: Earlier today, the Gollum-like IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told a Congressional hearing that the IRS doesn’t have a problem with illegal immigrants using fraudulent Social Security numbers to file their taxes, because they’re doing that for “a legitimate reason”. By “legitimate reason,” Koskinen means tax revenue. In other words, for the Obama administration, two crimes — (1) being in the U.S. illegally, and (2) using a fraudulent Social Security number — make right because the end (tax revenue) justifies everything. Rudy Takala reports for Washington Examiner, April 12, 2016: The IRS is struggling to ensure that illegal immigrants are able to illegally use Social Security numbers for legitimate purposes, the agency’s head told senators on Tuesday, without allowing the numbers to be used for “bad” reasons. IRS Commissioner John Koskinen made the statement in response to a question from Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., during a session of the Senate Finance Committee about why the IRS appears to be collaborating with taxpayers who file tax returns using fraudulent information. Coats said that his staff had discovered the practice after looking into agency procedures. “What we learned is that … the IRS continues to process tax returns with false W-2 information and issue refunds as if they were routine tax returns, and say that’s not really our job,” Coats said. “We also learned the IRS ignores notifications from the Social Security Administration that a name does not match a Social Security number, and you use your own system to determine whether a number is valid.” Asked to explain those practices, Koskinen replied, “What happens in these situations is someone is using a Social Security number to get a job, but they’re filing their tax return with their [taxpayer identification number].” What that means, he said, is that “they are undocumented aliens … . They’re paying taxes. It’s in everybody’s interest to have them pay the taxes they owe.” As long as the information is being used only to fraudulently obtain jobs, Koskinen said, rather than to claim false tax returns, the agency has an interest in helping them. “The question is whether the Social Security number they’re using to get the job has been stolen. It’s not the normal identity theft situation,” he said. […] He added that the agency wanted to differentiate that “bad” misuse of personal data from other uses. “There are questions about whether there’s a way we could simply advise people… . A lot of the time those Social Security numbers are borrowed from friends and acquaintances and they know they’ve been used, other times they don’t.” He also said that the agency is working to determine “the most effective way to do with this without necessarily having people decide not to file their taxes… . Obviously the priority is to have the IRS collecting those taxes.“

A Massive Solar EMP Could Do More Damage Than A Nuclear EMP! - 'Ezekiel's Fire' Interview With John Little Of Omega Shock

By Minute To Midnite - All News PipeLine

With tensions in the Middle East high, widespread lawlessness, a global economy that appears to be on the threshold of collapsing, Fukushima killing the oceans through radiation, swarms of earthquakes and volcanoes erupting these signs should be enough to wake anyone up to the fact that we are in the birth pangs spoken of by Jesus in the gospel of Luke. The threat of conventional nuclear war always remains potentially on the horizon. Not since the cold war have tensions been like this when it comes to the threat of nuclear war. Besides the possibility of conventional super-powers going to war that ends up being a nuclear exchange, you have rogue nations such as North Korea and their blusterous leader rattling sabers too. In fact, in this past week, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea announced it has recently tested a new type of inter-continental ballistic rocket that can be tipped with more powerful nuclear warheads, and Leader Kim Jong-Un claims these will put the USA within striking range, and could "reduce them to ashes" according to his boasting. Coupled with the fact that back on March 9th, the government of North Korea announced that it had a "standardized" design for a miniaturized nuclear weapon, where these are designed to be carried by the ballistic missiles one wonders if they could actually deliver on some of that threat. But more likely than the use of conventional nuclear warfare is the threat of a nuclear missile be used as an EMP bomb. A nuclear EMP is the abrupt pulse of electromagnetic radiation resulting from a nuclear explosion. The resulting rapidly changing electric fields and magnetic fields may couple with electrical/electronic systems to produce damaging current and voltage surges. The intense gamma radiation emitted can also ionize the surrounding air, creating a secondary EMP as the atoms of air first lose their electrons and then regain them. NEMP weapons are designed to maximize such EMP effects as the primary damage mechanism, and some are capable of destroying susceptible electronic equipment over a wide area. Quote: An NEMP warhead designed to be detonated far above the Earth's surface is known as a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) device. The explosion releases a blast of gamma rays into the mid-stratosphere, which ionizes and the resultant energetic free electrons interact with the Earth's magnetic field to produce a much stronger EMP than is normally produced in the denser air at lower altitudes. (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_pulse) What many people do not realize is that a solar flare emitted from the sun could also create an EMP effect. The worst of these possibilities would be a superflare. Quote: Superflares are very strong explosions observed on stars with energies up to ten thousand times that of typical solar flares. The stars in this class satisfy conditions which should make them solar analogues, and would be expected to be stable over very long time scales. The original nine candidates were detected by a variety of methods. No systematic study was possible until the launch of the Kepler satellite, which monitored a very large number of solar-type stars with very high accuracy for an extended period. This showed that a small proportion of stars had violent outbursts, up to 10,000 times as powerful as the strongest flares known on the Sun. In many cases there were multiple events on the same star. Younger stars were more likely to flare than old ones, but strong events were seen on stars as old as the Sun. (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superflare) Actually, in 1859 a powerful geomagnetic solar storm known as The Carrington Event caused widespread problems, such as the failure of telegraph systems, even giving operators electric shocks and causing telegraph pylons to throw off sparks. now that was in the 19th century when no one relayed on electricity for survival. Imagine what an event that size would do in today's world of computer chips and electrical dependence! Well, one man believes that not only could such an event occur, but that according to his interpretation of the bible, on such event much bigger in magnitude is likely to take place in the very near future. John Little - Ezekiel's Fire - Solar Flare- EMP-Warning Episode 037 of A Minute To Midnite sees Tony interview John Little of www.omegashock.com. In this discussion John voices his views that we may be on the verge of both nuclear EMP strikes, and an even more deadly EMP that would be caused by a solar superflare that would knock out electrical infrastructure, causing the deaths of many millions of people. He bases his findings on both the Bible and astronomical discoveries. He lays out a case for the worst case scenario, what it would look like in it's effects, and he also gives some advice on how to prepare for this event. John believes it will tie in directly with the Gog & Magog war. He explains why he feels the Bible points to this event being very soon. John believes that six biblical books actually prophesy of such an event. These six prophets: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Zechariah, Ezekiel, Micah and Zephaniah all spoke of an event that could fit the description of a massive solar flare. John believes that up to a billion people could die if such an event were to occur. He explains in the interview some of the reasons why this would be the case, outlining how our dependence on electricity for just about everything to survive today, would prove to be catastrophic if the grids were knocked out for an extended period of time. Tony and John then discuss the necessities for surviving such an event. They discuss the needs for food storage and a clean supply of water, and the importance of community. The discussion turns to the role of precious metals such as Gold & Silver, why they will play an important part, and why it is important not to put off buying it now. It is highly likely that we are on the verge of economic collapse and the bargain basement prices ( particularly of silver) may very well be about to end. Many people can't afford to buy gold, but the price of silver is still within reach ( for the moment). Also the potential role of this solar event knocking out power and the internet, and then being the catalyst to launch the Antichrist and the system of the Beast with it's Microchipping after the "lights come back on" is talked about.

The Economy: “China Says ‘No Dollars’ For New Yuan”

“In a shocking move likely to crush the US economy overnight, China is refusing to make its new gold-backed Yuan, convertible from or to US Dollars. The new Yuan will be introduced next Tuesday, April 19.When the International Monetary Fund (IMF) agreed to add the Yuan to the basket of world currencies used for Global Reserves and International Trade, they wanted China to make the Yuan more reliable as a currency. Since then, China has almost un-pegged its Yuan from the Dollar, allowing its value to fluctuate on world markets. But for years, China has been amassing huge amounts of gold bullion; some have said their appetite for bullion has been “staggering.” And with a new gold-backed Yuan to be issued next Tuesday, the entire world will have a choice of a new currency to use for international trade: The old US Dollar which is backed by nothing, or the new Chinese Yuan, which is backed by gold. Which currency would YOU use? When this new currency is issued, countries that have been forced to use US Dollars for decades, and have had to keep billions of dollars in their foreign currency reserves, will be free to dump those dollars. But they won’t be able to dump them to China for the new gold-backed, Yuan! China has reportedly decided “there can be no conversion of gold-backed Yuan to or from US dollars.” What China fears is that many countries around the world will want to trade their reserve US dollars for the new Yuan, leaving China with mountains of worthless US dollars. China already has several trillion in US dollar reserves and does not want or need more. If news of this decision by China is correct, then countries around the world may just have to decide whether or not they wish to continue trading with the USA at all? The upheaval this could cause as early as next week, would be staggering. This is a fast-developing story; check back.”

Panicked Elite Buying Bomb-Proof Survival Bunkers… ‘World Sleepwalking Into Fresh Crisis’… US Banks ‘Not Prepared’… Large Company Solvency Hit Worst Level Since ’08 Crisis

Submitted by IWB, on April 13th, 2016

I remember the line at the end of the movie, The Big Short. “They knew the taxpayers would bail them out. They weren’t being stupid, they just didn’t care”. PANICKED ELITE BUYING BOMB-PROOF LUXURY SURVIVAL BUNKERS TO ESCAPE CIVIL UNREST, DISASTERS Underground shelters protect “high net worth individuals” from “the general public” Panicked members of the elite are buying luxury bomb-proof underground survival bunkers because they fear mass civil unrest might be on the horizon. The company behind the construction of the sprawling complexes, Vivos, says the facilities are for the “protection of high net worth individuals” in the event of apocalyptic-style scenarios during which “millions will perish or worse yet, struggle to survive as victims”. “Where will you go when pandemonium strikes?” asks a promo for the luxury shelters. The biggest facility, called Europa One, is located in Germany and is “one of the most fortified and massive underground survival shelters on Earth, deep below a limestone mountain” and is “safely secured from the general public, behind sealed and secured walls, gates and blast doors”. http://www.infowars.com/panicked-elite-buying-bomb-proof-luxury-survival-bunkers-to-escape-civil-unrest-disasters/  World faces ‘lost year’ as policymakers sleepwalk towards fresh crisis, warns IMF The world is sleepwalking into a fresh crisis as investors start to lose faith in policymakers’ ability to revive the global economy, according to the International Monetary Fund. In its bluntest warning to date on the costs of policy inaction, the IMF said “financial and economic stagnation” could take hold unless governments prevented a “pernicious feedback loop of fragile confidence, weaker growth, low inflation and rising debt burdens” from forming. José Viñals, the head of the IMF’s financial stability division, said a prolonged slowdown could knock around 4pc off global output relative to current expectations over the next five years amid repeated bouts of market turmoil.

US banks not prepared for another financial crisis, say federal regulators Federal Reserve and FDIC reject ‘living wills’ of Wells Fargo, Bank of America and three others that don’t meet requirements to avoid another bailout Some of the US’s biggest banks still lack a proper plan for bankruptcy, in the event of another major financial crisis, US regulators said on Wednesday. In the wake of the great recession banks were required to come up with “living wills” to prove they had a credible plan for bankruptcy that would not require another bailout from the taxpayers. But after reviewing the plans of five institutions – JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Bank of New York Mellon and State Street Corp – the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp (FDIC) have determined that the banks have yet to meet that requirement. “The goal to end too big to fail and protect the American taxpayers by ending bailouts remains just that: only a goal,” said Thomas Hoenig, FDIC vice-chairman. The banks are to submit revised proposals by 1 October. According to feedback from the regulators, one of the main concerns with JP Morgan’s proposal was the bank’s liquidity in a time of need. Regulators were concerned the bank would not be able to shift money around to fund some of its operation during a time of stress or bankruptcy. http://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/apr/13/us-banks-financial-crisis-regulators-reject-living-will-proposals  Auditor warnings on large company solvency hit highest level since crisis Auditors have made more warnings about the possibility their big clients may not survive than at any time since the financial crisis, according to Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Company annual report filings with the SEC for 2015 show the highest number of auditor going-concern warnings for large companies since 2008, the height of the financial crisis, according to Audit Analytics. A going-concern warning —where auditors signal there is reasonable doubt the company can remain solvent over the next year— can lead to a bankruptcy filing. Ten large public companies — including 3 pharmaceutical and 4 energy companies —reported a going-concern warning from their auditor in their 2015 10-K. That’s the highest number of large public companies fighting potential permanent insolvency since 2008 when 20 companies got the warning. A large company is defined as one with a market cap of $700 million or more in public float.

Current Banker Meetings Are Deciding How to Confiscate Your Bank Account and Retirement

In the midst of the looming economic Armageddon, some are reporting that the banks have just begun to horde gold. Run from these authors. For over three years, I have been imploring people to buy gold in order to replace the cash that will soon be gone. Three years ago, Goldman Sachs was ordering its brokers to short gold. The fact is, the criminal elite have solidified their hedges against currency collapse by focusing on the acquisition of gold by any means possible. The bankers and government are meeting this week. At issue is the confiscation of your assets to facilitate a bailout of the banks. This time they are playing for keeps. Here is what we know: From David Haggith and Activist Post: “The Federal Reserve Board of Governors just held an “expedited special meeting” on Monday in closed-door session. The White House made an immediate announcement that the president was going to meet with Fed Chair Janet Yellen right after Monday’s special meeting and that Vice President Biden would be joining them. The Federal Reserve very shortly posted an announcement of another expedited closed-door meeting for Tuesday for the specific purpose of “bank supervision.” A G-20 meeting of finance ministers and central-bank heads starts in Washington, DC, on Tuesday, too, and continues through Wednesday. Then on Thursday the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund meet in Washington. The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta just revised US GDP growth for the first quarter to the precipice of recession at 0.1%. US banks are widely expected this week to report their worst quarter financially since the start of the Great Recession. The European Union’s new “bail-in” procedures for failing banks were employed for the first time with Austrian bank Heta Asset Resolution AG. Italy’s minister of finance called an emergency meeting of Italian bankers to engage “last resort” measures for dealing with 360-billion euros of bad loans in banks that have only 50 billion in capital”. What does this all mean? If we are lucky, there will be a new round of austerity (i.e. bail outs). This is not likely as bail-outs will not have much of an effect on the banks given the gravity of the economic condition of the banks. On this front, there is bad news and really bad news. The bad news is that your money could be rationed back to you with capital limits (i.e. how much you can withdraw). All deposits will be made electronically. Cash withdrawals will soon be outlawed. All paychecks must be direct deposited into a bank before the bank customer has access to their paycheck. This will give the Federal Reserve complete control over earned income in the United States. What this adds up to is that all world currencies will soon collapse. Private gold ownership will soon be made illegal. In other words, you will not be able to obtain private gold ownership much longer, so you better get in now. Why? Because the criminal elite want to have a complete monopoly over all mediums of exchange. The rest of this article deals with the circumstantial and historical proof that the assertions made in the previous paragraph will become reality. I think that there is no question that we will soon be in the early stages of the total elimination of all private property and private income. The world will soon have come full circle back to a feudal society. The Federal Reserve and the Bank of England Have Already Rehearsed the Theft of Your Bank Account The theft of the people’s money has already been rehearsed by the powers that be in the banking industry. Regulators from the United States and the United Kingdom got together in a war room to see how they will cope when the next big bank failures come. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew and the UK’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, on Monday (11/10/)4), ran a joint exercise simulating how they would prop up a large bank (e.g. Bank of America) with operations in both countries that has landed itself in trouble. Also taking part in the “bank failure drill” was Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen and Bank of England Governor Mark Carney, and the heads of a large number of other regulators, in a meeting hosted by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Then they brought in the military into the drill and they practiced how they would protect their assets from the public when the banks fail and retirement accounts are seized as collateral by the government. Your Bank Account Has No Protection The FDIC has only about $25 billion in its deposit insurance fund, which is mandated by law to keep a balance equivalent to only 1.15% of insured deposits. If a banking collapse were to be on the near horizon, the banksters are not going to notify you because they would not want to incite a bank run. With only 1.15% of all deposits being insured by the FDIC, your money would be left vulnerable and only the elite would be warned as they quietly transfer their money to a safer haven, such as gold. How do I know this? Please read on. In November 2014, Goldman Sachs Opened the Gates to Hell-Today, the Federal Reserve Is Now Taking Up Residency In Hell Silver prices have dropped dramatically covering an aggregate period of 36 months. Panic selling dominated the market as investors and financial institutions could not dump their holdings of silver and gold fast enough. The market clearly shows signs of mass manipulation by the Globalists. The globalists have been moving their fiat currency holdings to gold since the Spring of 2013. The price of gold was artificially manipulated by Goldman Sachs to drive down the price of gold in order to make it cheaper for the powers-that-be to purchase gold cheaply. You see, they know that very soon, there will no money left in the banks. You want proof? The best proof that the globalists are manipulating the price of gold comes from “Goldman Sachs (who), in the Spring of 2013, told their that they recommend initiating a short COMEX gold position.” This is your last chance to buy gold. Please remember, your cash will still be gone. Gold and silver will be your last chance to preserve what you have. This has been going on for over 36 months! Please remember that this is the same Goldman Sachs that shorted its stocks on 9/11. This is the same Goldman Sachs that placed put options on Transocean stock the morning of the Gulf oil explosion. This is the same Goldman Sachs that got caught shorting the housing market in advance of the housing bubble burst. Basically, when Goldman Sachs starts shorting anything, we should all become apprehensive particularly if our individual investments are anywhere in the neighborhood of the commodities being impacted by shorting. When Goldman Sachs begins to short anything, it is time to take your money and run for the hills. That time would be now. Why Would Goldman Sachs Dramatically Drive the Price of Gold Down? Beside trading and bartering, if the dollar and the Euro were to collapse tomorrow, what currency of exchange would the left standing? The obvious and simple answer would be primarily, gold, and secondarily, silver. Ask yourself this question, if you knew that paper monies all around the world were to collapse, what action would represent your best option? The obvious answer would be to dramatically drive down the price of gold and silver if one had the ability to do so, and then buy as much as gold as one possibly could. Goldman Sachs has the ability to do so by utilizing their ominous shorting strategy and it is precisely what they have done. ONE MORE DOT TO CONNECT goldman sachs us treasuryAdditionally, your bank account has been collateralized against the derivatives debt. Hence, you had, in 2008, former CEO of Goldman Sachs and the Secretary of Treasury, Hank Paulson, telling a closed session of Congress that if they did not authorize the bailouts, there would be tanks in the street an ultimately, REVOLUTION! This was necessitated by the credit swap derivatives Ponzi scheme and the debacle that followed. Further, the bankruptcy reform laws stemming from the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 2005, the credit swap derivatives counter-parties are given preference over all other creditors and customers of the bankrupt financial institution, including FDIC insured depositors. In the action taken by the G20 nations in that your bank account is no longer considered to be money. The bankers holding the bag on the credit swap derivatives will move to the head of the FDIC compensation line. Therefore, the regulations requiring that your money be insured by the FDIC are no longer in effect! This devaluation of “money to something other than money gives what the experts call “super priority” in terms of the line of succession from which to collect bankruptcy monies. TAKE YOUR MONEY OUT OF THE BANK! To make matters worse, Bank of America has conspicuously co-mingled their credit swap derivatives debt with your savings account and as such they have every legal right use your money to cover their debt. The derivatives debt is conservatively estimated to be one quadrillion dollars which is about 16 times the entire GDP of the planet. Even before today, your money is as good as gone. Today’s action by the G20 only further cements this new reality that you, your labor your possessions are all slave capital to the banksters. Your value as a human being has been monitized. To The Dumbed Down Sheep of America I have also discovered that JP Morgan is in the same exact boat as Bank of America as is Wells Fargo. Oh, they would never do that and steal your money, you say? I have bad news for the uninformed sheep of this country, they already have done that very thing. In the MF Global debacle, the reason that MF Global customers lost their segregated account funds was because the MF Global debt load was caused primarily because of their credit swap derivatives debt which, under bankruptcy laws, gave derivatives claimants super-priority in the bankruptcy proceedings. This is why Corzine and his fellow criminals did not go to prison as former Goldman Sachs executive, now the head of the Securities and Exchange CME gave Corzine, a former Goldman Sachs executive, a free pass on the theft of investors money at MF Global. This was a beta test. Conclusion Will the bankers, this week, decide to take all of the money, or only part of it at a time. However, all roads lead to ultimate and complete confiscation of all private assets. As I will discuss in a future article, military assets are already being prepositioned to enforce whatever dictates come out of this week’s banker/government meetings. Regardless if the theft of your money happens quickly or gradually over time, there are some ancillary policies which are going to be put into play which threatens the welfare of every American. In the next article, America will soon discover why I have been so seemingly obsessed with Executive Order 13603. i was told that Donald Trump’s waking up America has increased the the desperation of the criminal elite. This is only the beginning. It is going to get far worse.

Is Austria building a fence on the border with Italy? EU 'very concerned' Vienna is planning to introduce controls on key Alpine pass as migrants shun Balkan route

Work has started on a new 'border control centre' on the Brenner Pass

Minister hinted it may include a barrier like the one on Slovenian border

European Commission 'very concerned if these plans were to materialise'

Barrier would deal another major blow to the passport-free Schengen zone

By Simon Tomlinson for MailOnline Published: 09:21 EST, 12 April 2016 | Updated: 14:54 EST, 12 April 2016

The European Union today said it is 'very concerned' that Austria may be planning to build a fence on its border with Italy over fears of a new migrant influx. Austrian Defence Minister Hans Peter Doskozil announced plans to introduce border controls at the Brenner Pass crossing from June 1 as part of its tough response to the migrant crisis. With border restrictions along the Balkan route, Vienna expects migrant arrivals to Italy by sea to nearly double 300,000 this year. Asked if Austria planned to build a fence at the border, Doskozil referred to a system 'similar to the one in Spielfeld' at Austria's border with Slovenia, which consists of fences, lanes and tents. The exact date of its introduction depended on the number of migrants and the progress of construction of the new border control centre, Doskozil said, adding such work had started. Natasha Bertaud, a spokeswoman said the European Commission, said: 'The Commission is very concerned. 'If these plans were to materialise then we would have to look at them very seriously. 'The Brenner Pass is essential for the freedom of movement within the European Union.' She was referring to the passport-free Schengen zone, a symbol of European freedom and unity which has come under threat of collapse with the reintroduction of border controls to stem the massive influx of refugees and migrants in the last year. 'The reintroduction of border controls at internal Schengen borders has to be exceptional and proportionate,' Bertaud added. 'So the Commission will assess any measures that are taken by the Austrian government from the perspective of the necessity and the proportionality of the measures,' she said, adding that EU Migration Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos contact Austria's interior minister later Tuesday. Austria and several other EU member states have reintroduced temporary border controls along the so-called Balkans route from Greece to stem the massive inflow of migrants, many coming from war-torn Syria. Austria is concerned that following the closure earlier this year of the Balkan trail from Greece towards Austria, a new route across the sea from Libya to Italy and then northwards will open up. But Bertaud said: 'For the time being there is indeed no evidence that flows of irregular migrants are shifting from Greece to Italy, though we have seen an increase in the numbers of people arriving to Italy.' Meanwhile, Italy's European Affairs Minister European Affairs Minister Sandro Gozi criticised the Austrian plan in a statement. 'It is not by erecting improvised walls that we will resolve problems,' he said. 'Vienna should reconsider this decision which runs counter both to the spirit and the letter of European rules as well as to the friendship that links Italy and Austria.' Austria's parliament is due to vote on a draft law for tougher asylum rules in the coming weeks. The highway across the Brenner Pass is the main thoroughfare through the Alps to get to Germany from Italy – by way of Austria – and Germany is Italy's top trading partner. About two million trucks cross it every year. A rail base tunnel has been discussed for years. For transportation companies, long lines to get over the Brenner Pass would cause higher costs and slower services, said Franco Santagata, a former executive at Deutsche Post AG's Italian unit and now a transport industry consultant in Italy. 'If the border controls mean that it will take more time to get from Milan to Munich and back, then the transport company is going to have to raise its prices,' he said. 1,850 MIGRANTS RESCUED BY ITALY IN JUST ONE DAY AS 'CALMER WATERS TEMPT REFUGEES TO TRY MORE PERILOUS CROSSING FROM AFRICA' More than 1,850 migrants were rescued in the Strait of Sicily in just one day as a wave of boats departing from the Libyan coast intensifies. Two small boats carrying a total of 740 people were intercepted by the Italian coastguard ship Diciotti, while Italian Navy vessel Cigala Fulgosi came to the aid of two inflatable dinghies with 255 people on board. A merchant ship was diverted to help another 117 people, while an EU naval force vessel picked up 738 migrants trying to cross on two barges and a small boat. According to UN refugee agency data at the end of March, some 17,500 people have arrived in Italy since the start of the year. Two weeks ago, nearly 1,600 migrants were rescued in the same area, adding to fears that calmer seas at the onset of spring are encouraging greater numbers of migrants to attempt the perilous crossing after a winter lull. There are also concerns that European efforts to shut down the migrant sea crossing from Turkey to Greece will encourage more people to attempt the more dangerous Mediterranean passage from Libya to Italy. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3535936/EU-concerned-Austria-planning-build-fence-border-Italy.html

Swiss banker whistleblower: CIA behind Panama Papers

Eamon Javers | @EamonJavers Tuesday, 12 Apr 2016 | 12:11 PM ET

Bradley Birkenfeld is the most significant financial whistleblower of all time, so you might think he'd be cheering on the disclosures in the new Panama Papers leaks. But today, Birkenfeld is raising questions about the source of the information that is shaking political regimes around the world. Birkenfeld, an American citizen, was a banker working at UBS in Switzerland when he approached the U.S. government with information on massive amounts of tax evasion by Americans with secret accounts in Switzerland. By the end of his whistleblowing career, Birkenfeld had served more than two years in a U.S. federal prison, been awarded $104 million by the IRS for his information and shattered the foundations of more than a century of Swiss banking secrecy. In an exclusive interview Tuesday from Munich, Birkenfeld said he doesn't think the source of the 11 million documents stolen from a Panamanian law firm should automatically be considered a whistleblower like himself. Instead, he said, the hacking of the Panama City-based firm, called Mossack Fonseca, could have been done by a U.S. intelligence agency. "The CIA I'm sure is behind this, in my opinion," Birkenfeld said. Birkenfeld pointed to the fact that the political uproar created by the disclosures have mainly impacted countries with tense relationships with the United States. "The very fact that we see all these names surface that are the direct quote-unquote enemies of the United States, Russia, China, Pakistan, Argentina and we don't see one U.S. name. Why is that?" Birkenfeld said. "Quite frankly, my feeling is that this is certainly an intelligence agency operation." Asked why the U.S. would leak information that has also been damaging to U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron, a major American ally, Birkenfeld said the British leader was likely collateral damage in a larger intelligence operation. "If you've got NSA and CIA spying on foreign governments they can certainly get into a law firm like this," Birkenfeld said. "But they selectively bring the information to the public domain that doesn't hurt the U.S. in any shape or form. That's wrong. And there's something seriously sinister here behind this." The public relations office for the CIA did not immediately return a message for comment. Birkenfeld also said that during his time as a Swiss banker, Mossack Fonseca was known as one piece of the vast offshore maze used by bankers and lawyers to hide money from tax authorities. But he also said that the firm that is at the center of the global scandal was also seen as a relatively small player in the overall offshore tax evasion business. "We knew that firm very well in Switzerland. I certainly knew of it," Birkenfeld said. But Mossack Fonseca was just one of a number of firms in Panama offering such services, he said. "The cost of doing business there was quite low, relatively speaking," he said. "So what you would have is Panama operating as a conduit to the Swiss banks and the trust companies to set up these facilities for clients around the world."

Why Are Thousands Of Millionaires Fleeing Chicago And Other Major Cities Around The World?

By Michael Snyder, on April 12th, 2016

The elite are fleeing major cities around the globe at a staggering rate. In fact, the Chicago Tribune is reporting that approximately 3,000 millionaires left the city of Chicago alone during 2015. The same study discussed in that Chicago Tribune article found that 7,000 millionaires left Paris, France last year. So why is this happening? Why are thousands of millionaires suddenly packing up and moving away from the big cities? Could it be possible that they have many of the same concerns that “preppers” do about what is coming? For quite a while, I have been writing about how the elite have been preparing for the coming collapse. But I had no idea that literally thousands of them are packing up and permanently leaving our major cities. As I mentioned above, the Chicago Tribune is reporting that about 3,000 of them left the city of Chicago alone during the previous calendar year… Millionaires are leaving Chicago more than any other city in the United States on a net basis, according to a new report. About 3,000 individuals with net assets of $1 million or more, not including their primary residence, moved from the city last year, with many citing rising racial tensions and worries about crime as factors in the decision, according to research firm New World Wealth. But of course this is not just happening in Chicago, nor is it just an American phenomenon. Actually, the two cities that lost the most millionaires last year are both located over in Europe… Paris saw the largest exodus. The French city lost 7,000, or 6 percent, of its millionaires, followed by Rome, which lost 5,000, or 7 percent. It is true that some of these millionaires are moving for tax reasons, but many others are quite concerned that humanity is hurtling toward a deeply apocalyptic future, and they want to get prepared for what is about to happen while they still have time. In eastern Germany, one company known as “Vivos” has spent an enormous amount of money converting an underground facility built by the Soviets during the Cold War into the largest private shelter on the planet. It is called “Europa One”, and it is being billed as an ultra-luxury survival bunker for the elite. The following comes from their official website… Located in the heart of Europe is one of the most fortified and massive underground survival shelters on Earth, deep below a limestone mountain. Built by the Soviets during the Cold War, this shelter was a fortress for military equipment and munitions. Now privately owned, this 76 acre above and below ground hardened facility is capable of withstanding a substantial close range nuclear blast, a direct airliner crash, biological and chemical agents, massive shock waves, earthquakes, electro-magnetic pulses, and virtually any armed attack. This irreplaceable complex is now being re-tasked as Vivos Europa One, becoming the world’s largest and most fortified underground shelter for long-term, uncompromising protection of high net worth individuals, their families, and most precious assets when no other above-ground exfiltration solution will suffice. The complex includes over 21,108 square meters (227,904 square feet) of secured, blast proof living areas; and, an additional 4,079 square meters (43,906 square feet) of above-ground office, apartments, warehouse buildings, and its own train depot. Collectively there are over 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) of continuous tunnel chambers. An RT report that was posted on YouTube right here contains some stunning visuals from the inside of this facility. Personally, I was quite stunned when I saw the extent of their preparations for the first time… This is something that I could go on and on about, but I won’t. If you are interested in reading more, please see my previous article entitled “Superyacht Getaway Subs And Luxury Bomb Shelters: The Elite Are The Most Paranoid Preppers Of All“. As I was preparing for this article, I remembered something that Zero Hedge just reported that I think relates to this subject. It turns out that “the smart money” has been net sellers of U.S. stocks for 11 weeks in a row… Last week, during which the S&P 500 was down 1.2%, BofAML clients were net sellers of US equities for the 11th consecutive week. Net sales of $1.7bn were smaller than in the prior week, but all three client groups (hedge funds, institutional clients, private clients) remained net sellers, led by institutional clients. So why are the elite dumping stocks like crazy right now? Don’t they realize that the stock market has been going up? Could it be possible that they have information that the rest of us do not? Most people have absolutely no idea how vulnerable our society truly is, or how very easy it would be to plunge the general population into a state of utter chaos. That is why I am so glad that Mike Norris (the son of Chuck Norris) is coming out with his new movie entitled “AmeriGEDDON”. This film imagines a time when a global terror organization disables the U.S. power grid and martial law is instituted. Rioting, looting and civil unrest break out, and the government moves in to disarm the citizens and “restore order”. You can watch the official trailer for this new film right here… Could we actually witness such a scenario in our future? Well, I don’t expect to see anything like this next month, but in my new book I explain why I believe that America is heading for a future that is even more apocalyptic than the one portrayed in “AmeriGEDDON”. Everywhere you turn, our world is becoming increasingly unstable. Economic collapse has already gripped some areas of the planet, there is tremendous geopolitical instability in the Middle East, Islamic terror is on the rise, there have been outbursts of civil unrest all around the world, and just this week we have seen a series of very alarming earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Many people believe that we are entering a period of time when an unprecedented confluence of events will combine to create a “perfect storm” which will shake the world to the core. And it isn’t just “preppers” that feel this way. As you have just seen, thousands of millionaires are so concerned about changing conditions that they are fleeing the major cities. So before you dismiss all of this apocalyptic talk as “nonsense”, perhaps you may want to consider what the elite may know that you do not.

Central Banks Are Printing to Avert a Global Meltdown – as Gold Miners Start to ‘Melt Up’

April 13, 2016 / Jeff Berwick

Yesterday we went over the state of the world and if you read the article you’ll find it’s not good. In fact, it’s downright disastrous. There are defaults and impending collapses all over the place, from China to Europe to South America and beyond. What did the stock market do the very next morning? It went up 160 points for some reason. So let me try again to expose the reality of what’s happening. And then I’ll try to provide some actions you can take from an investment and savings standpoint. Hey, no matter how bad it is, someone is always making a profit somewhere. It might as well be us. In fact it will be us. The market is turning fast now, and we’re turning with it. News first. While the market was climbing some 160 points, the Atlanta Fed continued to downgrade the US economy. Since beginning the year with an announcement that GDP growth for the first quarter of 2016 would be above 1%, and calling for growth as high as 2.6% as recently as February, the Atlanta Fed has changed course immensely since March 15 and has called for growth estimates of .7%, .4%, and now .1% respectively since that date. That’s just shy of a recession and I don’t believe the number anyway. Call the US’s economic condition whatever you want. I call it a depression, one that’s been taking place since at least 2008 and papered over with 8 years of 0% interest rates and waves of money printing that they are almost becoming like the Rocky movies. QE1… QE2… QE3. And QE4 is coming, but likely not until a few thousand points get shaved off the Dow in quick fashion… and even then the market will continue to drop as more people begin to realize what’s going on and begin to scramble out of stocks that are valued based upon a good economy. Then there’s the IMF. The IMF came out once again and admitted it had been too optimistic. In its just released quarterly World Economic Outlook report, the agency chopped its growth forecast by another 0.2% for 2016, down to 3.2%. At one point, the IMF was forecasting 4.0% GDP growth in 2016. It doesn’t matter though, GDP numbers have no bearing on the growth of an economy despite what everyone tells you. And those numbers are SO FAR out of whack with the reality on the ground in almost every country in the world it is laughable. And yesterday, while the US market was climbing, Italian banks went limit down. They’re broke and so is the government. Over the past 12 months, the Italian market is down by 1/3 and the banks are doing so badly that they can’t raise more equity – not in Italy, not anywhere. The government has had to engineer a series of bailouts. And what was the final bailout? It was for a grand total of euro 5 billion – a ridiculous amount given that bad bank loans total something like euro 360 billion — and one bank alone has something like euro 80 billion in non-performing loans. Italy can’t print. Only the European Central Bank can print – and it won’t print nearly enough to debase the Italian currency to a point where those loans are manageable… at least not in time to salvage the banks. And Italy’s problem is Greece’s problem, is Ireland’s problem – and who knows how many other countries as well. Remember, not long ago we quoted top Bank for International Settlement’s executive William White who made headlines in Davos with his blunt assessment of the world’s financial condition? “The situation is worse than it was in 2007. Our macroeconomic ammunition to fight downturns is essentially all used up … Emerging markets were part of the solution after the Lehman crisis. Now they are part of the problem, too … Debts have continued to build up over the last eight years and they have reached such levels in every part of the world that they have become a potent cause for mischief,” he said. “It will become obvious in the next recession that many of these debts will never be serviced or repaid, and this will be uncomfortable for a lot of people who think they own assets that are worth something. The only question is whether we are able to look reality in the eye and face what is coming in an orderly fashion, or whether it will be disorderly. Debt jubilees have been going on for 5,000 years, as far back as the Sumerians” White knows what’s going on. Bank debt is a worldwide problem. Actually it’s a catastrophe waiting to happen… planned to happen… or even worse, a catastrophe that IS happening There’s plenty of speculation that the recent hush-hush meeting between Obama, Yellen and smilin’ Joe Biden was all about bank debt as well, specifically German bank debt. The idea is that Wall Street has already been propping up Deutsche Bank, which despite its size and reputation must now be known mostly for its recklessness. With interests in every corner of the globe, Deutsche Bank has been melting down regularly. It’s got plenty of unsecured loans to companies like Volkswagen, for instance and its stock price is a significant underperformer for the sector. Now it’s already been reported that Deutsche Bank was negotiating with Goldman and JP Morgan on selling $1.1 billion gross “notional” distressed credit default swaps (LINK). And the speculation is that part of the high-level White House conversation concerned a further bailout of Deutsche Bank, perhaps via Goldman and Morgan, with the Fed securing the purchases in some way. If this sounds a lot like the plot for The Big Short, it’s because it is. But, the idea here is that the West’s financial system is so fragile at this point that any single blow could prove devastating and that the Fed, among other prominent central banks, stands ready to provide the necessary liquidity. This liquidity of course will extend far beyond Deutsche Bank. As we’ve speculated before, various forms of quantitative easing are with us to stay, at least for as long as the powers-that-be want to prop up this collapsing system. How long that might be for is difficult to say. Remember the goal is ultimately to collapse what remains of economic health worldwide. The idea is to usher in another system, a global one, and this system has to break down irretrievably first. It may well be done via debasement rather than catastrophic market breaks, though we’ll surely have our fill of those. But ultimately, debasement can lead to the same place – a system that cannot be salvaged. But debasement has one silver lining, pun intended, for those of us who are watching the current carnage aghast. And that has to do with the escalating price of gold relative to the dollar and the advance, as well, of mining stocks. Here at TDV, we’ve already experienced the first flush of the advance of mining stocks after over a decade of under-performance. Gold is up recently by some 30 percent and it is very possible that a good deal of this rise has to do with the perception that central banks are going to have to debase like crazy to support what’s left of the system’s solvency. Our own gold portfolio, managed by our resident genius Ed Bugos, is up over 50 percent in the past months. And some of Ed’s individual mining picks are up by nearly 200 percent in little more than a month. Just look at this chart of the major gold miners. They are up 100% in the last three months. Imagine if the tech sector, as measured by the Nasdaq was up 100% in the last 3 months. Or if the Dow rose 17,000 points since the start of the year. The headlines would be blasting so loud you wouldn’t be able to hear yourself think. But, gold stocks rose 100% in the last three months? Crickets. That’s because they don’t want people to know. They might start asking silly questions like, “Why are gold stocks rising so much, so quickly?” The answer to that gets very uncomfortable for Janet Yellen. As for the metals themselves, gold jumped 16.4% in the first three months of 2016, its strongest quarterly showing since the third quarter of 1986. It’s perfectly possible that central bank money printing can continue at least in the short term to salvage banks and lift markets (although I highly doubt it and I’ll be explaining to subscribers this week why). But, if the markets rise due to more money printing, this time metals and mining stocks may come along for the ride.

Of if you’d prefer to watch a series of video presentations from people like Ed Bugos on not only why to invest in this sector but what to invest in, this video library is a must-see (click here to view). When the miners do take off in earnest, they’re going to move up spectacularly. Call it a “melt up”… And we won’t miss a minute of it – and neither will our subscribers.

In A Mistake Of Epic Proportions Ted Cruz Attacks Matt Drudge - Be Careful What You Ask For Rafael, You May Just Get It!

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

FLASHBACK -In January 2016 presidential candidate Rafael Edward "Ted" Cruz was proudly boasting that the mainstream media no longer had a stranglehold on information because "We have got the internet. We have got the Drudge Report. We have got talk radio. We have got social media. We've got the ability to go directly around, and directly to the people." Nearly three months later and now Cruz is attacking the Drudge Report , which the Washington Post suggests could be a "huge problem" for his campaign. "Drudge Report over the years has done a good job highlighting the excesses of the left and the excesses of liberalism, and about the past month the Drudge Report has basically become the attack site for the Donald Trump campaign," Cruz said on the Mike Slater Show on Monday. "And so every day they have the latest Trump attack, they’re directed at me. By all appearances, Roger Stone now decides what’s on Drudge. And most days, they have six-month-old article that is some attack on me and it’s whatever the Trump campaign is pushing that day will be the banner headline on Drudge." "By the way, they no longer cover news," Cruz added of Drudge. "Huge problem" may be an understatement on the part of Wapo as the Drudge Report is one of the most influential news aggregation websites nationally and globally. According to Alexa, which provides commercial web traffic data and analytics across the globe, under Top Sites, category "News- Headline Links" the Druge Report is ranked as number two. In 2015 Politico reported that "In 2014, DrudgeReport.com was the No. 1 site of referral traffic to the Daily Mail, CNN, Fox News, Roll Call, Breitbart, The New York Times, National Journal, USA Today, Associated Press, Reuters, The Wall Street Journal and POLITICO, Intermarkets found." Another unique aspect for Drudge is that 87 percent of its own traffic is from readers going directly to DrudgeReport.com and staying there for an average of 30 minutes. "People are religious in how they come to Drudge," Vipul Mistry, Intermarket's Business Development manager told the On Media blog. "When we analyzed all our audience that's what it is, people are on there not only in morning, they tend to leave it open as it refreshes." Drudge has 2 million daily unique visitors and around 700 million monthly page views, almost entirely from within the United States, Mistry said. Drudge is literally the "go-to" site for conservatives, although his audience isn't solely conservative with Quantcast, which is a digital marketing company that provides free audience demographics measurement, showing a significant amount of Independents also favor Drudge report. With that type of political influence it is easy to see why the recent negative coverage about Ted Cruz on Drudge's front page might be frustrating to Cruz and his supporters, but for a supposed conservative politician, one hundreds of delegates behind the frontrunner of the GOP race for the presidential nomination, to wage an outright attack, basically declaring war on Matt Drudge and the Drudge report, knowing and having previously acknowledged the amount of influence Drudge carries...... is a huge misstep and mistake on the part of Cruz. If that is a huge mistake, then Cruz claiming "Roger Stone now decides what’s on Drudge," is a blunder of epic proportions, because to date, Drudge has shied away from Roger Stone's direct comments on the National Enquirer's Cruz sex scandal story, and has not posted links to that potential campaign killing story which took the Internet by storm in late March. This brings to mind a couple of expressions about choosing battles wisely and being careful what one asks for because they may just get it. The Cruz attack against Drudge is now trending on social media and one specific response encompasses why this was a massive mistake on Cruz's part as one commenter states "It's ON now, Ted. Hope those stories about your affairs aren't true because you're picking a fight with the guy who broke the Monica Lewinski story when no one else would touch it." Spot on! It shows a distinct lack of good judgement for a politician to attack someone that reaches more people in one day than said politician can reach in a month, because if Drudge decides that since he is already being accused of being a Stone mouthpiece, to go ahead and link to some of Stone's interviews like the one below, the Cruz presidential campaign could be over in just one news cycle.

How US covered up Saudi role in 9/11

By Paul Sperry April 17, 2016 | 6:00am

In its report on the still-censored “28 pages” implicating the Saudi government in 9/11, “60 Minutes” last weekend said the Saudi role in the attacks has been “soft-pedaled” to protect America’s delicate alliance with the oil-rich kingdom. That’s quite an understatement. Actually, the kingdom’s involvement was deliberately covered up at the highest levels of our government. And the coverup goes beyond locking up 28 pages of the Saudi report in a vault in the US Capitol basement. Investigations were throttled. Co-conspirators were let off the hook. Case agents I’ve interviewed at the Joint Terrorism Task Forces in Washington and San Diego, the forward operating base for some of the Saudi hijackers, as well as detectives at the Fairfax County (Va.) Police Department who also investigated several 9/11 leads, say virtually every road led back to the Saudi Embassy in Washington, as well as the Saudi Consulate in Los Angeles. Yet time and time again, they were called off from pursuing leads. A common excuse was “diplomatic immunity.” Those sources say the pages missing from the 9/11 congressional inquiry report — which comprise the entire final chapter dealing with “foreign support for the September 11 hijackers” — details “incontrovertible evidence” gathered from both CIA and FBI case files of official Saudi assistance for at least two of the Saudi hijackers who settled in San Diego. Some information has leaked from the redacted section, including a flurry of pre-9/11 phone calls between one of the hijackers’ Saudi handlers in San Diego and the Saudi Embassy, and the transfer of some $130,000 from then-Saudi Ambassador Prince Bandar’s family checking account to yet another of the hijackers’ Saudi handlers in San Diego. An investigator who worked with the JTTF in Washington complained that instead of investigating Bandar, the US government protected him — literally. He said the State Department assigned a security detail to help guard Bandar not only at the embassy, but also at his McLean, Va., mansion. The source added that the task force wanted to jail a number of embassy employees, “but the embassy complained to the US attorney” and their diplomatic visas were revoked as a compromise. Former FBI agent John Guandolo, who worked 9/11 and related al Qaeda cases out of the bureau’s Washington field office, says Bandar should have been a key suspect in the 9/11 probe. “The Saudi ambassador funded two of the 9/11 hijackers through a third party,” Guandolo said. “He should be treated as a terrorist suspect, as should other members of the Saudi elite class who the US government knows are currently funding the global jihad.” But Bandar held sway over the FBI. After he met on Sept. 13, 2001, with President Bush in the White House, where the two old family friends shared cigars on the Truman Balcony, the FBI evacuated dozens of Saudi officials from multiple cities, including at least one Osama bin Laden family member on the terror watch list. Instead of interrogating the Saudis, FBI agents acted as security escorts for them, even though it was known at the time that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi citizens. “The FBI was thwarted from interviewing the Saudis we wanted to interview by the White House,” said former FBI agent Mark Rossini, who was involved in the investigation of al Qaeda and the hijackers. The White House “let them off the hook.” What’s more, Rossini said the bureau was told no subpoenas could be served to produce evidence tying departing Saudi suspects to 9/11. The FBI, in turn, iced local investigations that led back to the Saudis. “The FBI covered their ears every time we mentioned the Saudis,” said former Fairfax County Police Lt. Roger Kelly. “It was too political to touch.” Added Kelly, who headed the National Capital Regional Intelligence Center: “You could investigate the Saudis alone, but the Saudis were ‘hands-off.’ ” Even Anwar al-Awlaki, the hijackers’ spiritual adviser, escaped our grasp. In 2002, the Saudi-sponsored cleric was detained at JFK on passport fraud charges only to be released into the custody of a “Saudi representative.” It wasn’t until 2011 that Awlaki was brought to justice — by way of a CIA drone strike. Strangely, “The 9/11 Commission Report,” which followed the congressional inquiry, never cites the catch-and-release of Awlaki, and it mentions Bandar only in passing, his named buried in footnotes. Two commission lawyers investigating the Saudi support network for the hijackers complained their boss, executive director Philip Zelikow, blocked them from issuing subpoenas and conducting interviews of Saudi suspects. 9/11 Commission member John Lehman was interested in the hijackers’ connections to Bandar, his wife and the Islamic affairs office at the embassy. But every time he tried to get information on that front, he was stonewalled by the White House. “They were refusing to declassify anything having to do with Saudi Arabia,” Lehman was quoted as saying in the book, “The Commission.” Did the US scuttle the investigation into foreign sponsorship of 9/11 to protect Bandar and other Saudi elite? “Things that should have been done at the time were not done,” said Rep. Walter Jones, the North Carolina Republican who’s introduced a bill demanding President Obama release the 28 pages. “I’m trying to give you an answer without being too explicit.” A Saudi reformer with direct knowledge of embassy involvement is more forthcoming. “We made an ally of a regime that helped sponsor the attacks,” said Ali al-Ahmed of the Washington-based Institute for Gulf Affairs. “I mean, let’s face it.” Paul Sperry is a former Hoover Institution media fellow and author of “Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives Have Penetrated Washington.”

What’s inside the censored secret 28 pages of the 9/11 report?

Secretive report has been locked away for years.. but may be shared with the world soon

By MATT YOUNG Reuters

FOR thirteen years, classified 9/11 documents, known as the “28 pages”, have been kept under lock and key, with just a handful of eyes having the opportunity to see what’s inside. In 2004, the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence produced an 838 page report outlining the events leading up to the September 11, 2001, attacks. But one giant piece of the puzzle was missing — the final chapter — which was blanked out by the Bush administration for reasons of “national security”. Known to contain vital information pertaining to the attacks, both the George W. Bush and Obama administrations have refused to unseal the documents, claiming its release would jeopardise national security. In later years, the FBI would also refuse to unseal the pages. “These are tough documents to get your eyes on,” said former Democratic congressman Tim Roemer, who has read the documents numerous times as a member of the Blue Ribbon 9/11 Commission as a member of the joint inquiry. “You’re going to be surprised by it.” Many believe the US government censored the pages to “protect the delicate relationship with a complicated kingdom where the rulers, royalty, riches — and religion — are all deeply intertwined in its institutions”. What is known is that in January, 2000, the first of the 19 hijackers involved in the 9/11 terror plots landed in Los Angeles after attending an al-Qaeda summit in Kuala Lumpur. Saudi nationals Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdar arrived in the US with limited to no experience with the Western world; in particular they knew hardly any English. Yet remarkably, without an understanding of modern American culture, they managed to secure housing and flight lessons. They had hooked up with Fahad al Thumairy, a diplomat at the Saudi consulate, who in 2003 was denied re-entry into the United States for holding extremist views. Phone records reveal he was in regular contact with Omar al-Bayoumi, who was the terrorist’s biggest benefactor. According to Mr Graham, Mr al-Bayoumi was a Saudi agent, and backed those claims with FBI files. In a “random” coincidence, the two hijackers met Mr al-Bayoumi in a Middle Eastern restaurant and they fast became friends. Eventually, Mr al-Bayoumi would help secure them housing in San Diego, government IDs and enrol the pair in English classes and flight schools. Mr al-Bayoumi had ties with Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born imam who would become al-Qaeda’s chief of propaganda and top operative in Yemen. Mr al-Awlaki would eventually become five of the hijacker’s spiritual adviser. It’s this type of sensitive information pointing to Saudi Arabia that is allegedly contained within those 28-pages. According to 60 Minutes, the 9/11 report says “Saudi Arabia has long been considered the primary source of al-Qaeda funding through its wealthy citizens and charities with significant government sponsorship”. Yet in the report it states, “we have found no evidence that the Saudi government as an institution or senior Saudi officials individually funded the organisation.” Though lawyers for the families of the 9/11 victims believe the line is one of the most misunderstood in the report. “When they say that we’ve found no evidence that senior Saudi officials individually funded al-Qaeda they conspicuously leave open the potential that they’ve found evidence that people who were officials that they did not regard as senior officials had done so,” said lawyer Sean Carter. The Saudis believe that sentence exonerates them from any wrong doing. But in the coming months, the world’s eyes might have the chance to finally discover what exactly was so disturbing that the US felt the need to censor the information from public view. US President Barack Obama will decide whether to declassify the 28 pages in the coming months. Former Florida senator Bob Graham told Fox News the White House had informed him that a decision on whether to declassify the documents would be made in one to two months. Yet asked about the renewed information requests last Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said he did not know whether President Obama has read the 28 pages but they were the subject of an intelligence community “classification review,” reports Fox. US President Barack Obama will visit King Salman and the Saudi royal court in Riyadh next week in a bid to mend increasingly frayed ties between the allies. Before his election, Obama famously dismissed Saudi Arabia as America’s “so-called ally” and relations have remained tense through both his two terms. Although Wednesday’s visit will be his fourth to the kingdom, the Saudis were dismayed by his outreach to Iran and support for some Arab Spring revolts. The countries work together in the fight against the Islamic State group but the kingdom feels Obama could have been tougher on Syria’s Bashar al-Assad. And eyebrows were raised last year when King Salman decided not to join a summit of Gulf leaders hosted by Obama at his Camp David country residence. But senior Obama adviser Rob Malley said that since then, there has been real progress in the relationship. “On the security front, over the last 12 months, there have been countless meetings at all levels,” he said.

Amid Syria talks, Netanyahu declares ‘Israel will never leave the Golan Heights’

Netanyahu said that the Golan was an integral part of Israel during antiquity, a fact borne out by the archeological remnants of dozens of synagogues there. As UN-led peace talks on the future of Syria are being held in Geneva, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went to the Golan Heights Sunday and declared that Israel will never leave the strategic region. “The time has come for the international community to recognize reality,” Netanyahu said at the opening of a special cabinet meeting held for the first time ever on the Golan Heights. “First, that whatever will be on the other side of the border, the border will not change. “And secondly,” Netanyahu added, “the time has come after 40 years for the international community to finally recognize that the Golan Heights will remain forever under Israeli sovereignty.” Israel took the Golan Heights during the 1967 Six Day War, and in 1981 extended Israeli law to the region, thereby de facto annexing it. “I decided to hold this meeting on the Golan Heights to send a clear message,” he said. “The Golan Heights will always stay in Israeli hands, Israel will never leave the Golan Heights.” Netanyahu said that the Golan was an integral part of Israel during antiquity, a fact borne out by the archeological remnants of dozens of synagogues there. And, he added, the Golan – which he said now has some 50,000 residents – is an integral part of Israel during the modern era. “For the 19 years that the Golan was under Syrian occupation , it served as a place for bunkers, barbed wires, mines, and aggression – it was used for war,” he said. “ In the 49 years that the Golan is under Israeli control it was used for agriculture, tourism, economic initiatives, building -- it was used for peace.” Netanyahu said that he spoke on Saturday night with US Secretary of State John Kerry, and said that he doubted that Syria would ever return to what it was. “It has persecuted minorities, like the Christians, Druze, and Kurds, who are fighting justifiably for their future and their security. And on the other side there are terrorist forces – led by Islamic State, Iran, Hezbollah, and others who want to impose extreme Islam on Syria and the region, and from there to continue to impose it thought the world.” Netanyahu said he told Kerry that Israel would not oppose a diplomatic agreement in Syria, “On the condition that it does not come at the cost of Israeli security.” That means, he added, that at the end of the day Iranian, Hezbollah and Islamic State forces be kicked out of Syria.

Jesus would have allowed killing of ISIS militants, Christian militia commander in Iraq believes

Andre Mitchell 18 April 2016

If Jesus Christ were living in today's world where terrorism is a real threat, would he allow the killing of Islamic State (ISIS) militants? The answer would be yes as far as this Christian militia fighter is concerned. In a recent interview with BBC News, Rayan al-Kildani, the head of the 100,000-member Christian militia group known as the "Babylon Brigade," said while Jesus Christ taught about mercy and compassion, wielding the sword to end the lives of these jihadists would have been acceptable to Him given the various atrocities they have committed. Kildani said he has personally killed several members of this terror group. He made it clear that his group's primary mission is to prevent the ISIS from advancing further and taking more territories in Iraq. "What Islamic State is doing to the Christians is terrible. They are the devil," Kildani said, as quoted by The Gospel Herald. "I know the Bible says that if you get hit on one cheek you should offer the other. But we have really good defence forces now. No one is going to do anything bad to the Christians. Some Christians had their homes taken over. I have personally been to those houses to tell the new people living there to get out. Christian suffering is over," he added. When asked about how he would reconcile his militia group's actions to the Fifth Commandment, "Thou shall not kill," Kildani answered: "We have to fight. We have to defend ourselves...Jesus himself told us that if you don't have a sword you should go out and buy one." The militia leader even used this Bible quote from Luke 22:36 to justify his group's actions: "If you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one." Some theologians interviewed by BBC, however, said that this verse should not be taken literally. Thousands of Christians have already suffered in the hands of the ISIS since 2014. Members of the terror group have been torturing, raping and killing Christians and taking over their homes in the Middle East. Syrian Orthodox Church leader Patriarch Ignatius Aphrem II revealed that at least 230 citizens, including scores of Christians, were recently kidnapped by the ISIS from the town of Qaryatain in central Syria. Aphrem reported that some Christians were killed while attempting to escape, while some were killed for breaking the terms of their "dhimmi contracts," which require them to submit to the rule of Islam.

Constitutional Sheriffs: The Cops Who Think the Government Is Our 'Greatest Threat'

by Julia Harte and R. Jeffrey Smith News Apr 18 2016, 12:19 pm ET

The full version of this story was originally published by The Center for Public Integrity, a nonprofit, nonpartisan investigative news organization in Washington, D.C. Sheriff Nick Finch let a pistol-packing man out of the Liberty County, Florida, jail, a decision that led state authorities to charge Finch with a crime — but also made him a hero to a radical and growing movement among sheriffs across the country. It's a movement that doesn't just reject gun control — it encourages law enforcement officers to defy laws they decide are illegal. And it sometimes puts police on the same side as "sovereign citizens," a fringe group that the FBI considers one of the most serious domestic terrorism threats. On March 8, 2013, one of Sheriff Finch's deputies pulled over a driver and found a loaded pistol in his pocket, according to the deputy's sworn statement. Carrying a concealed firearm without a license is a felony in Florida, so the deputy arrested the driver. Finch, however, ordered the driver released, and someone whited out his booking record. Finch later said he decided that "I know what law rules the day, and it's the U.S. Constitution." Click here to read the full version of this story. Gov. Rick Scott ordered Finch's suspension. But then a former Arizona sheriff named Richard Mack called, and a group that Mack heads — the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association — became engaged. Mack has referred to the federal government as "the greatest threat we face today," and describes his association — which states on its website it is supported by the John Birch Society and Gun Owners of America, as well as annual dues payments of $50 — as "the army to set our nation free." He said in an interview with CPI that he has grown the army by training more than 400 sheriffs in how to interpret the Constitution and how to resist authorities and laws that violate it. Mack claims the dues-paying support of several hundred of the nation's more than 3,000 sheriffs and the sympathies of hundreds more, but it's hard to assess how many endorse his denunciation of the federal government as the corrupt and illegitimate enforcer of laws that trample on states' rights. On occasion, however, his group's sheriffs have found themselves expressing views that resemble those of the sovereign citizens' movement, which was also founded on claimed rights of legal defiance. Dozens of sheriffs around the country — including John Hanlin, the sheriff of Douglas County, Ore., the site of last October's mass shooting of eight students and a professor at Umpqua Community College — joined Mack in an aggressive letter-writing campaign to the White House after the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting, in which they vowed not to enforce any federal laws that tightened gun restrictions. After the armed standoff at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge earlier this year, Mack traveled repeatedly to Oregon, appearing at high schools and fairgrounds, and giving interviews in which he criticized federal authorities. He's also promised to help elect new sheriffs in the region who share his views. Gun laws are a focus of his ire, but federal lands restrictions and tax laws have also been in his sights. After Sheriff Finch's suspension, Mack organized a fundraiser in nearby Panama City and brought in Stewart Rhodes, head of the citizen militia group known as the Oath Keepers, the same group that made headlines last August for patrolling the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, with guns. (Mack is on the Oath Keepers board of directors.) Sympathizers created a Facebook support page for Finch, and online commentators expressed outrage at what they called an unconstitutional attempt by the state to interfere with his support for gun rights. During Finch's boisterous trial in October 2013, he was joined in the Liberty County courtroom by Mack, several other Florida sheriffs, and dozens of new supporters. The judge had to admonish the crowd not to laugh as the state presented its case against Finch, and in the end, the jury acquitted him of misconduct and falsification of records. He was reinstated as sheriff, and later granted back pay as well as attorney's fees of more than $160,000. Finch, 53, remains the sheriff of Liberty County. Winning over law enforcement officials On a chilly morning last October, roughly 60 people — mostly older white men — sat at long plastic tables beneath the fluorescent lights of an auditorium in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, to attend a "Tribute to Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers." At the meeting, four or five political groups — the local chapters of the Tea Party, Freedom Works, United Conservatives Fund — laid out their literature, candy, and swag on folding tables at the back of the room. The speakers included two local police officers, the president of Mississippi's Gulf Coast Rangers citizen militia, a veteran who tracks gun laws in Mississippi, an investigator for the state's attorney general, and finally, the star attraction: Sheriff Richard Mack. But only one Mississippi county sheriff showed up: Billy McGee, from the surrounding Forrest County. Mack, who is over six feet tall and bears a passing resemblance to Ronald Reagan, stood before the crowd in a casual, desert-hued suit. Audience members queued to have him sign their copies of a booklet summarizing his case against the Brady Act, called "The Victory for State Sovereignty." In America, he said as audience members nodded, "gun control is against the law. And we don't get to violate the law just because we have a shooting in Oregon or Sandy Hook or anyplace else." "What we want now is for many of you to come to our certification training," he said. "You come to a two-day seminar, get certified, and then you get back here to your state and you start providing this training, bam, bam, bam, go to every sheriff's office, go to chiefs of police, go to county commissioners and show them this training." Details about how to get the certification training, Mack assured the audience, would be forthcoming. A local named Paul Boudreaux, 53, raised his hand from the third row. "What do you do about the sheriffs that are complicit with the federal government?" he asked. "Ignore them," Mack replied. He reminded the audience that there are nearly 3,100 sheriffs in the country and that the association is aiming to get approximately one fourth of them to support its mission: "If we get that 600 or 700, there's going to be no stopping. And then everybody in this country has at least two or three places in each state where they can go for refuge, find a true constitutional sheriff who'll tell the federal government, 'You're not going to abuse citizens anymore.'" Asked later what the worst abuses were that the federal government had committed in his community, Boudreaux brought up the gopher frog: an endangered species native to the Gulf region. To protect it, Boudreaux said, some of his neighbors have had hundreds of acres of land condemned as habitat where the frog can live. "Fortunately, because of our Second Amendment, we've still got the freest country on Earth," Boudreaux added, crossing his arms. "But the sheriff needs to know," Boudreaux said, expressing a view that most legal scholars vigorously dispute, "that he can forbid federal agents from coming into his county and trying to enforce laws that are unconstitutional." Roots of the movement Mack first made it to the national stage in 1996 as a sheriff from Arizona, when he and a sheriff from Montana challenged a provision of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act before the U.S. Supreme Court. Using attorneys paid by the National Rifle Association, they argued it was unconstitutional for the federal government to require local chief law enforcement officers to run background checks on prospective gun buyers — and won, in a 5-4 ruling that struck down that provision of the act. But Mack was defeated in the Democratic primary that year, and has since lost three more elections in two states for different offices. He nonetheless became a popular speaker, initially at John Birch Society and National Rifle Association banquets, and later at Tea Party events. In May 2011, he registered the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association with the state of Texas, but is just now filing for tax-exempt status with the Internal Revenue Service. As a result, the group's financing is largely opaque. According to Mack, more than 100 sheriffs have shown up at the annual conventions his group has organized, including many in 2014 when Finch received the group's top honor: Constitutional Sheriff of the Year. Finch and 40 other sheriffs signed a resolution there declaring they would not tolerate any federal agent who attempted to register firearms, arrest someone, or seize property in their counties without their consent. Mack says he envisions the sheriffs' "take back" of the United States as a peaceful event. But he uses apocalyptic language to depict social conditions in America, describing sheriffs as a bulwark to forestall the violence for which armed, angry citizens around the country are preparing. Finch, too, said he sees sheriffs as a safeguard against all-out civil war. "If all the sheriffs would get on board and stand in the gap, then maybe we can avoid the violence that I believe probably is going to come at some point," Finch said. The constitutional sheriff movement, according to the teachings of Mack and his supporters, is rooted in the historical definition of sheriffs as the most powerful law-enforcement officers within their counties. The idea harkens to medieval England, when Anglo-Saxon kings tasked sheriffs with enforcing their edicts. English colonists brought the tradition to the Americas, and began electing their own sheriffs in the mid-1600s, entrusting them with overseeing the judicial process, carrying out legal decisions, and keeping the peace. Under the latter authority, they could organize citizen brigades to catch outlaws or defend against attackers, an arrangement known as "posse comitatus." In the 1970s, a minister in the white supremacist Christian Identity movement, William Potter Gale, wrote a series of articles that would come to be known as the handbook of the Posse Comitatus movement. Gale described sheriffs as the only "legal" law enforcement officers in the country and urged citizens to form their own militias to resist encroachments on their rights if sheriffs did not. The constitutional abuses he cited included the federal income tax system, gun control, federal education, and civil rights laws. He advised citizens to form their own "common law" courts to try officials who violated the constitution, and prescribed archaic punishments, such as hangings.Contemporary "sovereign citizens," who generally reject federal authorities, are inspired partly by Gale's rhetoric and partly by past bloody clashes between federal officials and citizens charged with illegal gun sales and ownership. Terry Nichols, who is now in prison for planning the Oklahoma City federal center bombing that killed 168 people 21 years ago this week, is a member of the sovereign citizen movement, according to the FBI. That April 19 bombing deliberately coincided with the date of three iconic events in the radical right's historical pantheon — the "hot heard round the world" at the Battle of Lexington & Concord in 1775; a violent FBI battle in 1985 with members of an extremist Christian group in Arkansas known as the Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord; and the FBI's climactic confrontation in 1993 with religious extremists belonging to the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas, starting a fire that killed 76 people. Nowadays, sovereign citizens number in the hundreds of thousands, and U.S. law enforcement agencies consider them the top terrorist threat in the country, according to a July 2014 survey by a University of Maryland-led terrorism study consortium. At least 14 police officers have been killed and another 14 injured in 62 incidents involving sovereign citizens since 9-11, according to J.J. MacNab, a frequent writer on anti-government extremism who consults for government agencies. Most of their attacks are "unplanned, reactive violence targeting law enforcement officers during active enforcement efforts," the Department of Homeland Security said in a Feb. 5, 2015, report. In one such incident, West Memphis police officer Brandon Paudert and another officer pulled over a sovereign citizen named Jerry Kane and his 16-year-old son in a van with out-of-state plates in May 2010. The duo had been traveling around the country peddling debt-avoidance seminars based on sovereign citizen beliefs. Kane had been threatening anti-government violence for years on his Internet radio show, and the traffic stop escalated rapidly into a tussle in which the younger Kane shot both cops dead with an AK-47. Police officers caught up with both Kanes hours later in a Walmart parking lot, where they were killed. Mack and his supporters dismiss the idea that they are supportive of the violent measures taken by sovereign citizens. But some of his association's members have found common cause with the group. In March 2011, for example, New Hampshire sheriff Christopher Conley — who was listed as a member of the council of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association from November 2012 until 2015 - expressed support for claims made against the Internal Revenue Service by a sovereign citizen named Charles Gregory Melick. A deputy federal marshal had served a summons on Melick at Conley's office, requiring him to appear in court about unpaid taxes, but Conley decided to write to a judge on Melick's behalf, arguing that the service was not legally valid. "I have a duty to protect people's Constitutional rights and protections," Conley said in his note. Conley was never directly punished for his choice not to detain Melick, but lost the 2012 election. In 2014, at least three sheriffs showed up with constitutionalist citizen militia groups and members of the Oath Keepers to support Cliven Bundy's standoff against the federal Bureau of Land Management at his ranch in southern Nevada. In a speech at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. a few months after the Bundy Ranch standoff, Oath Keepers President Steward Rhodes gave those sheriffs a special shoutout. "You had Brad Rogers [of Indiana] there, he came on our behalf, you had Sheriff Peyman from Kentucky, you also had Jeff Christopher from Delaware," he told the audience. "So if we're a bunch of radical anti-government crazy cop killers, why were there police officers standing right there with us?" Rhodes asked. "It's cause we're all in this together." Bob Paudert, Brandon's father and the chief of the West Memphis police at the time of the deadly traffic stop, said he is troubled by the number of sheriffs and police officers who adopt the ideology of armed resistance embraced by sovereign citizens, but he can understand why they do. "Even I agree with a lot of what they say," he told the Center for Public Integrity, such as the principles of standing up for states' rights and reining in the federal government. "But law enforcement is not the enemy."

Michael Savage: “West Will Collapse” Without Christian Revival

There has never been a successful and long-lasting atheistic civilization

Selwyn Duke | The New American - April 16, 2016

There has never been a successful and long-lasting atheistic civilization — and there never will be — is the opinion of many astute observers. And it’s also apparently the belief of radio giant Michael Savage, as he issued a dire warning on his Wednesday show. “Unless Christianity receives a new enthusiasm that sweeps the Western world, and Christianity itself rises up against the forces against it,” he said, “the entire West will collapse in your lifetime.” Savage, author of numerous best-selling books and host of the award-winning Savage Nation radio program, has long warned that the West is imperiled by “savages” from without and is being savaged by militant secularists within. Now, addressing the crux of the matter, Savage is adamant that the death of Christian belief portends the death of the West, as he said: I can almost prove it. I can almost feel it. It’s palpable to me. And I’m not the only who sees it or feels it. Anyone I know with a certain intelligence level above a minimal amount, sees what’s going on in Europe, and they say that we’re not far behind. Presumably, Savage was referring to secular Europe’s acceptance of waves of unassimilable Muslim migrants — which include some jihadists — the Islamization of the continent, and the rapid moral decay bedeviling the entire West. It’s plain to many that the erosion of the West’s foundational faith is synonymous with the erosion of her foundation. Our second president, John Adams, issued a warning to this effect, saying in 1798, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Note that the West could still rightly be called “Christendom” at the time, and the founders generally meant “Christian” when using the term “religious.” Thus, Adams clearly didn’t view Christianity as so many do today — as something to be kept “separate” at all costs lest it become an impediment to our constitutional government — but as a prerequisite for it. Why? Well, British statesman Edmund Burke wrote in 1791, “Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites.” And George Washington addressed the origin of moral chains five years later when saying, “Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.” While I won’t delve deeply into the link between religion and morality here (I did so in this piece), I will quote one of the many thinkers who did recognize it, Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky. As he wrote in his 1880 work The Brothers Karamazov, “If God does not exist, everything is permitted.” And this isn’t hard to understand: Without acceptance of the eternal, unchanging, divine author of right and wrong, all moral questions (and, in particular, answers) are met with the cynical “Says who?! Those are your values; don’t impose them on me!” Of course, this explains how a once healthy civilization can collapse into self-imposed tyranny. A mature and moral adult who knows the “rules of life” can safely negotiate the world just as a mature driver acquainted with the rules of the road can safely navigate the highways and byways. But a small, uncivilized child must be watched — and often controlled — by mother or father or nanny. The overgrown uncivilized child called a barbarian must be subject to the same, except the watchers in his case will be the cops and criminal-justice system. And as it is for individuals so it is for groups, even country-size ones. Only, their nanny is the nanny state. As for a collapse inviting foreign domination, morality also plays a huge role. After all, an invading force would rather contend with a drug-addled, effete population given to dissolute living than a land of disciplined Spartans. Yet it’s easier still for the conquerors if their target is so out of touch with reality (and immoral living does reflect and encourage this, as it’s a rejection and usually a denial of moral reality) that it’s oblivious to danger. Enter the modern West. To paraphrase Belgian playwright Émile Cammaerts, “When people cease believing in God, it’s not that they start to believe in nothing. It’s that they’ll believe in anything.” And what do we believe in today? When the Wall Street Journal’s Bret Stephens wrote last year that the “death of Europe is in sight,” he opined that its people stand “for shallow things, shallowly. Europeans [only] believe in human rights, tolerance, openness, peace, progress, the environment, pleasure.” Yet it’s worse than that. There is only Truth, and then innumerable lies; disconnected from the former, a people inevitably falls victim to the latter, and we’re embracing lies only the insane could believe. Pseudo-elite dogma currently is that a boy must be considered a girl if he claims he is so “deep down,” even though the claim is made based on nothing but feelings. Moreover, we’re to be considered bigots for not participating in his delusion or for denying him access to the bathrooms of his choice. Then there’s that obsession with using Big Brother to coerce Christian businessmen into servicing faux weddings, which occurs while the Left makes not a peep when Muslim businessmen refuse to be party to them. And treason is the norm. A former aide to ex-British prime minister Tony Blair admitted that massive Third World immigration into the United Kingdom was orchestrated by the Labour Party in order “to rub the Right’s nose in diversity and render their arguments out of date.” Swedish Social Democrat politician Mona Sahlin reveled in the Islamization of her nation, saying in 2001 “The Swedes must be integrated into the new Sweden; the old Sweden is never coming back.” Former UK “equality minister” Trevor Phillips — who helped popularize the debate-stifling term “Islamophobia” — just admitted that he “got almost everything wrong” on Muslim immigration in a 1996 report, saying he “should have known better” than to think Muslims would integrate. Now he sings a different politically correct tune, stating that it’s “disrespectful” to expect Muslims to assimilate. And all the while, more patriotic Europeans are punished under “hate speech” law for criticizing homosexuality or Islam. Of course, there are fewer and fewer Europeans to punish all the time, as fertility rates among all Western peoples are below replacement level. So as religiosity increases most everywhere but the West, sneering, proudly secular Westerners are turning themselves into a dead-end “species.” And none of these problems would be occurring were we still robustly Christian. Savage also mentions the Crusades and “what happened that saved Christianity,” as he put it. He was referring to how these events were defensive campaigns designed to protect the West from Muslim invasion. And note: The Crusades were proposed and preached by the leader of Europe’s Christians, Pope Urban II. Of course, this doesn’t mean we must send soldiers to the Holy Land, only that we must become a holier land. We must strive to be today’s Crusaders — meaning “those who are marked with a cross” — as we once again infuse that symbol into our minds and hearts.

Time Travel Back to Shot Heard 'Round the World

Lest we forget, this country was forged out of a concerted desire to free the shackles of the British Empire, so that colonies could chart their own course for individual state governments. If only people understood this historic fact. Since so few are familiar with the actual cornerstones of the America Revolution and the latest generations know even less, the indoctrination from government schools has stripped out the quest for knowledge of what made America different. Consider a virtual reality time travel back two hundred and forty-one years to the start of the most important revolution of all times. The Sons of Liberty were not traitors, they were freedom fighters. The Tory loyalists were not simply Englishmen, they were Monarchists committed to the British Empire. The minutemen at the Old North Bridge in Concord viewed themselves as Englishmen, but knew that their mother land lost sight of respecting their subjects inalienable rights of heritage, who populated the new world. Stand abreast with the Lexington Massachusetts farmers as the echo of the first crack of defiance was heard throughout the globe. The significance of the “Shot Heard Round the World” is nicely summed up by Chuck Baldwin. He submits that these “two elements of American history are lost to the vast majority of historians today: 1) it was attempted gun confiscation by the British troops that ignited America’s War for Independence, and 2) it was a pastor and his flock that mostly comprised the “Minutemen” who fired the shots that started our great Revolution.” The phrase itself originates in Ralph Waldo Emerson's Concord Hymn, 1837 and relates to the start of the American Revolutionary War: By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to April's breeze unfurled; Here once the embattled farmers stood; And fired the shot heard 'round the world. Missing in the narrow vision of public awareness and worldly experience, the current culture totally fails to appreciate exactly what composed this revolution. Most of political discourse revolves around reforms of the basic institutions, evolutionary changes to the existing system, or incremental replacement of the present order. In order to be “politically correct” or to succumb to threats from penal punishment, non violent alternatives are the only acceptable options suited for dialogue. Lost in this modern day docile compliance culture is that muskets, rifles, shot and powder proved to be the means of meeting military force with counter citizen weaponry. Also, and much more important is the legacy that preachers of the Christian religion formed the spiritual and moral legitimacy for the revolution. As part of this time journey back to the Green Dragon Tavern, engaging and plotting the methods and tactics of defiance would meet the likes of Samuel Adams, Dr. Joseph Warren and Paul Revere. The Committee of Correspondence expanded and communicated the loose unity that developed around the opposition to the continued despotism from the English Crown. Investigating the true meaning of our national origin requires a serious honesty that admits the internal conflict, which has always existed among competing factions, continues to the present. In The Significance of the American Revolution, which presents two ways of viewing the nature of the conflict, and lays out the dilemma. “The ideas of the Revolution have been most often depicted as a triumph of the social contract/natural rights theories of John Locke. Correct so far as it goes, this characterization passes too quickly over the continuing importance of Calvinist dissenting Protestantism, which from the Pilgrims and Puritans on had also stood for the ideals of the social contract and the self-governing community. Lockean intellectuals and the Protestant clergy were both important advocates of compatible strains of liberalism that had flourished in the British North American colonies. Scholars have also argued that another persuasion contributed to the Revolution: "republicanism." Republicanism, they assert, did not deny the existence of natural rights but subordinated them to the belief that the maintenance of a free republic required a strong sense of communal responsibility and the cultivation of self-denying virtue among its leaders. The assertion of individual rights, even the pursuit of individual happiness, seemed egoistic by contrast. For a time republicanism threatened to displace natural rights as the major theme of the Revolution. Most historians today, however, concede that the distinction was much overdrawn. Most individuals who thought about such things in the 18th century envisioned the two ideas more as different sides of the same intellectual coin.” A very different approach looks to explain the class distinctions that linger to this day, portrayed in Completing the America Revolution. The Two American Revolutions We've been taught to believe that there was only one American Revolution, a struggle to throw off the tyrannies of Great Britain. And relative to that revolution, we're conditioned to believe that the heroes were revolutionary patriots such as George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Sam Adams, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, James Otis, the Sons of Liberty, and the Committees of Correspondence. But in reality there were two American Revolutions: The revolt against British oppression by Americans The revolt against wealthy American merchants and financiers by working class people of America Now if you were transported to colonial life in your time machine, what would you find? What Was Colonial Life Really Like? In Colonial America, the rich were getting richer and the poor were getting much poorer. In 1687 in Boston, the top 1% owned about 25% of the wealth. By 1770, the top 1% owned 44%. In those same years, the poor--those who owned no property--represented 14% in 1687 and 29% in 1770. In the various colonies the wealthy merchant class introduced property qualifications for voting in order to disenfranchise the poor and protect their own privit In Pennsylvania, white males had to have 50 pounds of "lawful money" or own fifty acres of land. The result was that only 8% of the rural population and 2% of the urban population of Philadelphia could vote This class outlook for evaluating the nature of the American Revolution is not part of the usual curriculum for national assimilation into an endowment of fidelity towards the political system. However, with the popular explosion of collectivism, the vast population experiencing diminished economic opportunities looks to an all powerful government to provide their next meal. Because of this adverse condition, the misguided FEDERALISTS peons rely on a central government for subsistence, while never gaining any actual political power. The essay, A Constitution Flawed from Inception explains how the American Revolution was betrayed by the Hamiltonian elites, because they simply wanted to mirror the British Empire at the expense of the minutemen, who fought the battles for a revolutionary Republic. “Did the U.S. Constitution really break with the king and a constitutional parliament, or did it simply guarantee that a charade of popular franchise, would replace one form of legalism for another set of contrived judicatory rule? The structure for a central government was above all meant to exert a limited role and scope. Individual States would remain self-governing, with different functions and jurisdiction; within a larger union. An imaginative vision, but examine the reality. As difficult as it is for traditional conservatives to admit, their sacred document could not craft an enlightened human nature. Those who seek to become instruments of governance only perpetuate the error of creating an office that leads to an imperial president and an omniscient judiciary. Even under a Jefferson presidency, MARBURY v. MADISON (1803), became a land mark case establishing the practice of judicial review by federal courts over acts of the other two branches of government. The dream died as the court appropriated the ultimate say. Brute force and deadly coercion gain dominance within the executive, and manifested its culmination with Lincoln’s war of Northern Aggression. So much for viable sovereignty embodied in individual will. The clash of cultures produced the authoritarianism of a central government, because the U.S. Constitution created a model that encouraged the empowerment of a presidency.” Transportation back to 1775 allows understanding of the reasons for the battle against King George III. If you overstayed your welcome and lingered around for another twenty-eight years, you would witness the failure of the American Republic experiment. Time never stands still. That resolute which reverberate at Lexington and Concord, no longer rings true. Emerson's poem may have made famous the mythos of Liberty or Death, but the fact of the matter, by the time he penned the verse the Federal government dismantled the essence and spirit of the revolt. Today what is heard and seen across the globe is a tyrannical New World Order, controlled by globalist elites and technocratic Tories that are many times worse than the madness of King George III. The psychoses that created and maintain the American Empire have become the ultimate treachery and sell out of the principles of the American Revolution. Travelling to the past is much more romantic than braving the universal oppression of the future. Reserving a ticket to ride the bull of this “reign of terror” imperium from a betrayed dream is no substitute for a nation based upon individual liberty. SARTRE – April 19, 2016

Technology SITREP: the Iskander-M Operational-Tactical Missile System

8117 Views April 18, 2016 35 Comments

I have often said that when the East Europeans agreed to deploy the US “it is against Iran but really it is against Russia” anti-missile system all they did was paint a big bullseye on themselves. This is not quite so, in reality they painted not one, but two big bullseyes on themselves. The first one are the Russian Spetsnaz forces, but that is not the one I want to focus on today. The second one is the Iskander-M Operational-Tactical Missile System. “Operational-Tactical” refers to the missions and capabilities of what is a family of missiles which can be fired from the Iskander Transporter erector launcher (TEL) which includes ballistic as well as cruise missile and short range as well as intermediate range missiles. The actual numbers are, of course, kept secret, but it appears that the range of these missiles can, depending on the model and configuration, be anywhere between 250km to 500km and with some variant capable of reaching 2000km. According to Wikipedia, the missile is a “stealthy” one, meaning it has a very small radar cross section, it can execute evasive maneuvers with 30G turns, it flies at hypersonic speeds (max 6-7) and it can be remotely controlled from ground operators, UAV and even AWACS aircraft. The missile also uses satellite guidance and optical terminal guidance. Best of all, it’s accuracy is officially an excellent a 5-7 meters, which means that in reality the Russian (non-export) variant probably has a 2-3 meter CEP. The missile’s conventional warhead types include including a cluster munition warhead, a fuel-air explosive enhanced-blast warhead, a tactical earth penetrator for bunker busting and an electro-magnetic pulse device (EMP) for anti-radar missions (source). The missile can also carry a 5-50 kiloton nuclear warhead. One way to sum this entire paragraph up is to say that there is no way to escape the Iskander-M. Well done, East Europeans, I hope that you feel “safer” now… Here is an interesting video showing the launch and strike of the Iskander-M on a simulated enemy command post. Enjoy!

India tests 1st nuclear-propelled ballistic missile submarine

Published time: 19 Apr, 2016 07:16

India’s first submarine capable of firing nuclear ballistic missiles, the INS Arihant, is undergoing sea acceptance trials and will be commissioned after their completion, the Navy has announced. "INS Arihant is now undergoing sea acceptance trails as it had already passed several deep sea diving drills. The submarine will be commissioned after completing all the sea trials," said H.C.S. Bisht, Vice Admiral of the Indian Navy. The 6,000-ton vessel is the first nuclear-powered submarine that can launch nuclear-capable missiles manufactured by India – the first nation to announce it has accomplished this feat after the five original nuclear powers. It was built at the Ship Building Centre in Visakhapatnam, one of 13 major ports in India, with some help from Russian specialists and launched in 2009. The submarine was expected to be commissioned after finishing a round of sea trials in February and participating in the International Fleet Review the same month. On February 23, it was declared ready for operations. Additional trials were launched in March. The Arihant reportedly fired a dummy K-4 missile on March 7 and later on March 31 test-fired a live K-4 missile from a depth of 20 meters underwater. The K-4 is an indigenously developed Indian intermediate-range nuclear-capable submarine-launched ballistic missile and the designated weapon for Arihant-classs submarines. INS Arihant, the lead ship of the class, can reportedly carry four K-4 missiles or 12 smaller short-range K-15 missiles. India is currently building 45 new ships at various shipyards around the country, Vice-Admiral Bisht said. Among them are two more Arihant-class submarines.

The Federal Takeover of State Debt is About to Begin…

Posted by Carl from Chicago on April 17th, 2016 (All posts by Carl from Chicago) Often people focus on the “loud” items and miss the subtle, important events that really change the world. On the positive side, the 401(k) plan has that obscure name because a financial expert basically “invented” it out of a line in the tax code which enabled tax-deferred savings. And Jack Bogle of Vanguard did the same thing with “passive” investing, which reduced fees and for practical purposes has taken over the investing world (along with ETFs). One very subtle item that is about to occur is the nationalization of state debt (and likely debts of individual cities) by the federal government. At the highest level, states and cities have made promises (mainly pensions) to their employees that are un-payable without raising taxes to extortionate rates. Detroit cracked first but since it was a city and there was some state framework they were able to use bankruptcy, but many more are to follow, including Puerto Rico (right now) and soon thereafter likely the City of Chicago or its teachers’ pensions as well as the state of Illinois. A very similar event occurred in Europe when the ECB basically put the debts of Greece and Portugal onto the backs of taxpayers in Germany and Holland. The ECB had a moment (several moments, actually) when they could have fundamentally changed how Greece ran their economy, shutting down statist laws and heavy governmental interference in the economy to open up competition and growth, but they blinked and instead just “wired them money in exchange for promises”. The Greeks, of course, haven’t kept their promises, and why should they, given that the ECB continually blinks when the showdown occurs. The reason that these states and territories like Puerto Rico are in dire straits is because they

1. Spend more money than they make every year,

2. Rely on borrowing to pay for operating expenses,

3. Have giant, unfunded liabilities on top of this that can never be repaid (pensions, medical bills, etc…).

This situation is enabled by a governing class that views funds as an opportunity to redistribute wealth to favored constituents and relies on “fairness” as a bedrock of their planning. The apex of this sort of planning can be seen in crony capitalist states like Brazil, where large enterprises like the National Oil Company (partially on the stock market, partially owned by the state) are used to fund politicians and social programs and are systematically diverted away from their core mission (to make money) until the enterprises are bled almost totally dry. Then, ironically, the state has to bail out the very companies that were supposed to provide for the socialistic wealth in the first place. The CORE issue is – if you give these sorts of entities money (bailout) without a “root and branch” cleaning of the issues – you will just get more of the same, indefinitely, as their individually painful debts become part of the larger national (or pan-European) debt, which continues the little game of overspending and wasting money on favored political groups for a little longer (maybe a couple years, maybe longer). The slippery slope – the trigger – is occurring right now in Puerto Rico. That entire economy is corrupt and ridden with subsidies from electricity to taxes to everything else. For Puerto Rico to thrive, it would need to break down barriers to private enterprise, reduce taxes, levies and bureaucracy, and find some way to bring logical industry into their jurisdiction. However, the more likely course is as follows:

1. Point out the current individuals suffering from a lack of funding (the poor, kids in school, the elderly),

2. Note that the debt which was once owned by individuals was bought up by hedge funds for a fraction of its original valuethese funds are in a position to fight (legally and politically) for repayment and although they may be termed “vultures” or something else, they really are the last man standing for individuals who lack the means to fight legally for their rights,

3. Use the political system to “promise” reforms that will never be carried out (because why would you if you can use funds to enable the current system to thrive),

4. Talk about the retirees, and “promises” made to them over the years that cannot be paid, and how they can’t go back to the work force and earn more money so that they have to be made whole,

5. Use political or class warfare to point out the groups that run Washington don’t look like the groups that are broke and make it a fairness issue or tied to some century plus grievance. It is very likely that these tactics will “work” and that the debts of Puerto Rico will be backstopped by the US government. While this technically isn’t a “bailout”, it absolutely is, because Puerto Rico can’t borrow one dollar on their own anymore (who would lend money to someone who says they won’t pay you back?), and we know that without major reform (which won’t happen) Puerto Rico will just continue to bleed money indefinitely (and fall back on fairness arguments and the above listed tactics to ensure that this keeps happening). Then soon after this subtle bailout (and likely before Puerto Rico fails AGAIN, which will happen again as it will with Detroit), entities of Illinois or the state itself will drive straight through this loophole and federalize their debt, too. The state and entities will make lavish promises about change that will never occur, because this is the lifeblood of the Democratic Party (patronage workers and the public sector) and all of the clout / featherbedding / etc… will continue on indefinitely, without any of the sorts of laws that enable competition. Watch the headlines… see this occur… it will be seismic in its long-term nature, because it will fundamentally change the nature of the US government, since the debts of the states and cities will become everyone’s debt and we don’t have any “real” tools to govern their behavior or fix the long-term promises that destroy competitiveness and economic growth. This is the real story, it is happening under our noses, and instead of paying attention we are following these idiotic presidential campaigns of pure vapor. Cross posted at LITGM

Great Dangers Now Threaten To Destroy The Global Financial System

April 18, 2016

On the heels of the Dow surging to 18,000, today a 50-year market veteran spoke with King World News about the great dangers circling the financial system. Great Dangers Now Threaten To Destroy The Global Financial System On the heels of the Dow surging to 18,000, today a 50-year market veteran spoke with King World News about the great dangers circling the financial system. King World News - Famed Short Seller Warns Warns Countries May No Longer Be Able To Bail Out Their Banks John Embry: “Eric, last week was interesting when you tied together a number of developments that occurred. Deutsche Bank publicly acknowledged its manipulation of the silver fix. But this is just the tip of the iceberg considering the true scope of the manipulation in silver being conducted primarily by JP Morgan… John Embry continues: “It is vitally important that the extent of the manipulation in all markets is revealed to the largely unsuspecting public, so at least this is a minor step in that direction. JP Morgan And Deutsche Bank Threaten Global Financial System Secondly, the Federal Reserve released a lengthy letter that the Fed and the FDIC had issued to JP Morgan Chairman and CEO, Jamie Dimon. This resulted because of JP Morgan’s failure to present a credible plan for winding itself down if the bank failed. The body of the letter alluded to all the risks, excess leverage, massive derivative exposure, and the obvious threat of contagion among major financial entities. Interestingly, this came in the wake of recent revelations concerning the vulnerability of Deutsche Bank. Both of these warnings should serve as a red flag to all the optimists out there who have their heads buried in the sand. Then on Saturday, in a front page story in the New York Times, it was revealed that the Saudis were threatening to unload their massive U.S. Treasury position if there were any revelations concerning their alleged involvement in the 9/11 attack. Aside from revealing their guilt with such a blatant threat, it also confirmed the U.S.’s vulnerability in the currency arena. The Saudis are not the only entity with a huge U.S. Treasury position. In fact, China’s position dwarfs that of Saudi Arabia, and the Chinese are less than happy with the U.S. on a number of fronts. I have believed for some time that the constant babble about rate hikes by the U.S. Fed is directed primarily at supporting an increasingly vulnerable dollar because economic conditions certainly don’t justify any rate hikes at all. Markets In Lockdown As I mentioned earlier, markets remain in lockdown with the central banks and their allies continuing to have their way. However, I take some solace from the fact that they are having more and more trouble containing the price of gold and silver. This is certainly reflected in the persistent strength in the HUI Gold Share Index. To Smash Or Not To Smash Gold & Silver? That Is The Question Commercial gold and silver short positions remain elevated on the Comex, which in the past has preceded a price smash. However it is also a precondition for a commercial signal failure in which the shorts are overrun and have to retreat. And with the opening of the Shanghai Gold Exchange tomorrow featuring physical delivery, the chore of the bullion banks to maintain their Ponzi scheme on the paper markets of the LBMA and the Comex is becoming more and more difficult. We will just have to wait and see what happens to the enormous commercial short positions in the coming weeks.” ***KWN has now released the extraordinary audio interview with Nomi Prins, where she discusses the implosion of the global financial system, what investors can do with their own money and their actions to protect themselves from the coming carnage, and you listen to it by CLICKING HERE OR ON THE IMAGE BELOW.

Dozens Of Large Earthquakes Strike As Speculation Mounts That Japan’s Southern Island May Split

By Michael Snyder, on April 17th, 2016

Over the past 48 hours, our planet has been hit by literally dozens of earthquakes of magnitude 4.0 or greater, and scientists are acknowledging that what is taking place is highly unusual. This strange shaking began toward the end of last week when the globe was struck by five major earthquakes over the space of just two days, and over the weekend the seismic activity just continued to escalate. Very early on Saturday, Japan’s southern island of Kyushu was hit by a magnitude 7.3 earthquake, and on Saturday night a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck off Ecuador’s Pacific coast. It was the worst earthquake that Ecuador had experienced since 1979, and it was followed by at least 163 aftershocks. Unfortunately, there are indications that what we have seen so far may be just the beginning. Because the Ecuador earthquake was bigger, it is getting most of the headlines at the moment, but the truth is that what is going on in Japan is potentially far more dangerous. Over the past week, Japan’s southern Island of Kyushu has been rocked by a series of devastating quakes, including two major ones in less than 48 hours. The following comes from the Guardian… A second major earthquake in less than two days has shaken Japan’s southern island of Kyushu, with at least 34 people thought to have been killed, about 1,500 injured and more feared buried after building collapses and landslides. The 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck at about 1.30am on Saturday, waking people across the island – including the thousands already in crisis centres. It caused widespread damage, with several landslides and a village evacuated over fears a dam might burst. The mainstream media in the United States is using the term “landslides” to describe what has happened all over Kyushu, but the truth is that in many instances it would be far more accurate to say that “giant cracks” or “vast chasms” have formed. The geography of Japan’s southern island has been fundamentally transformed, and this is beginning to cause huge concerns. Here is more from the Guardian… One major landslide tore open a mountainside in Minamiaso village in Kumamoto prefecture, destroying a key bridge that could cut off food and other relief transport to the worst-hit area. Another landslide hit a road, collapsing a house that fell down a ravine. In another part of the village, houses were left hanging precariously at the edge of a huge hole. I want to show you a map which comes directly from the U.S. Geological Survey. This map shows all of the earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater that have hit Japan’s southern island over the past week. As you look at this map, do you see a pattern?… The dozens of earthquakes that have hit Japan’s southern island over the past week appear to form something of a straight line that divides the island in two. Many are now speculating that geological forces are beginning to tear Kyushu in half, and if that is true, the earthquake activity that we have seen in Japan so far is probably just the tip of the iceberg. We could potentially be talking about an event that could ultimately have far more of an impact on Japan than the tsunami of 2011. By the time it is all said and done, entire cities could be wiped off the map and millions upon millions of Japanese citizens could be displaced. Already, the seismic activity that has rocked Kyushu is having quite an impact on the Japanese economy… Earlier today Toyota was one of many Japanese companies to announce that it will suspend most car production across Japan as a result of critical supply chain disruptions caused by the recent destructive earthquake and numerous aftershocks. All of the major assembly lines will be shut down across its four directly-run plants, and Toyota will be halting production in stages at other group companies as well. According to the Nikkei Asian Review, most of the Toyota group in Japan will be effectively shut down through at least the end of this upcoming week, with a production loss of as many as 50,000 vehicles, including brands such as Prius, Lexus, and Land Cruiser. Our planet resembles something of a giant cracked egg, and the enormous tectonic plates that we are all living on are constantly in motion. So if Japan’s southern island is in the process of slowly splitting in half, that shouldn’t exactly be a surprise. After all, scientists assure us that Los Angeles and San Francisco will be directly next to one another someday. And it isn’t just Japan that we need to be concerned about. All along the “Ring of Fire”, seismic activity is increasing, and this has many of the experts completely puzzled. The following comes from an excellent piece by Alvin Conway… This has continued to baffle many of the world’s leading geologists, who still attest the rise in the number of large earthquakes is merely a random natural occurrence. For instance, the number of large earthquakes doubled in 2014. However, here’s what scientists had to say about it: “If you think there have been more earthquakes than usual this year, you’re right. A new study finds there were more than twice as many big earthquakes in the first quarter of 2014 as compared with the average since 1979. “We have recently experienced a period that has had one of the highest rates of great earthquakes ever recorded,” said lead study author Tom Parsons, a research geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in Menlo Park, California. If you are familiar with my work, then you already know that I believe that we have entered a period of time during which we will see seismic activity on a scale that none of us have ever experienced before. This great shaking will combine with other factors such as financial collapse, geopolitical instability and civil unrest to produce what many have described as a “perfect storm”. Life as we know it is in the process of fundamentally changing, and right now we are only in the very early chapters of this change. Unfortunately, most people are ignoring the warnings and will continue to ignore them until it is far too late.

Mexico's Popocatépetl volcano spews ash two MILES into the air: Puebla is caked in white dust as eruption forces closure of airport

The Mexican volcano Popocatépetl began erupting around 2.30am on Monday, covering the city in dust and ash

Popocatépetl has been a highly active volcano near the city of Puebla since 1994 and erupted early this year also

A massive plume of ash and smoke shot two miles into the air during the eruption, which caused Puebla International Airport to shut down from 7am until 1pm

A webcam captured the spectacular explosion in a black and white video at the moment of the eruption

Officials are urging people to wear masks to avoid inhaling the fine grit, which has covered houses and cars

By Kalhan Rosenblatt For Dailymail.com Published: 14:56 EST, 18 April 2016 | Updated: 15:24 EST, 18 April 2016

A Mexican volcano that has been active on and off since 1994 has erupted over Santiago Xalitzintla village in Puebla, Mexico, blanketing the city in dusty, white ash. The Popocatépetl volcano began erupting around 2.30am on Monday, sending ash two miles into the air. The eruption sent glowing rock hurling through the air as far as a mile away from the crater. The plume was so thick it forced Puebla International Airport to close from 7am until approximately 1pm, according to Mexico News Daily. Civil Protection authorities warned against approaching the volcano. 'It is important to respect the security radius of 12 kilometers (seven and a half miles) due to the danger of incandescent fragments being emitted,' national coordinator Luis Felipe Puente tweeted on Monday. A webcam pointed at the volcano caught the moment it erupted on Monday morning. First a bright burst of light appears, whiting out the screen, only to reveal the plume shooting upward and incandescent, blazing lava and rock cascading down the mountain's side. Dust and ash have settled on the city since the early morning explosion and officials are urging people to wear masks to avoid inhaling the fine grit that has covered houses and cars. Locals have been cleaning ash and soot off of cars and roadways since the massive eruption. It can cause respiratory problems and damage car and plane engines. About 25 million people live within 62 miles of the crater of the 17,797-foot stratovolcano. The volcano has erupted frequently over the years and has already seen activity multiple times in 2016. On January 7, Cenapred, the Center for Natural Disasters in Mexico, said ash had been released from the volcano, covering the surrounding area. Popocatépetl sent a massive column of ash 6,500 feet into the air on March 29, according to the Guardian. Earlier this month on April 3 another violent explosion sent dust and soot more than a mile into the air over the city, according to UPI. The last eruption that forced the city to evacuate was in 2000 and 40,000 people were forced to flee their homes due to the eruption.

Ring of Fire: Three Deadly Earthquakes In Three Days - 'Earthquake Outbreak' Has Scientists Concerned

April 18, 2016 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

Update from Alt Section - Something Huge Is Happening Worldwide - Earth Changes And Birth Pangs

Ecuador, Japan and the US all reside on the same tectonic "Ring of Fire," which can be seen in the map above, and both Ecuador and Japan have just suffered three deadly earthquakes in rapid succession along that ring. As can be seen in the ABC News report below titled "Third Earthquake in Rapid Succession on 'Ring of Fire', we hear what the newscaster refers to as the "Eathquake Outbreak," along the ring of fire with Ecuador suffering a 7.8 magnitude earthquake and Japan being hit twice with 7.3 and 6.5 magnitude quakes followed by hundreds of aftershocks which is hampering rescue effots. Just two days ago Stefan Stanford reported on a warning from the Prime Minister of Japan, Sinzo Abe who said "we are in a race against time," as we learned that the ground in Japan was "swaying every hour," in an article titled "Predictions Of Biblical Quakes On Horizon Lead To This Alarm: 'We Are In A Race Against Time'. As can be heard in the ABC News report above, with the U.S. residing on the same tetonic "Ring of Fire," there are new concerns about "the big one hitting here," as they bring on an expert that states "We're all on the 'ring of fire,' this is a very active part of the Earth and it is a reminder that this is a hazard we face." According to the Express UK, scientists are now warning that under current conditions along the Pacific Rim we could see up to four earthquakes with magnitudes greater than 8 as they quote a seismologist of University of Colorado who believes "And if they delay, the strain accumulated during the centuries provokes more catastrophic mega earthquakes." RT reports "A total of 38 volcanoes are currently erupting around the world, making conditions ripe for seismic activity in the Pacific area." In order to understand the scope of the seismic activing being seen, the map below is a screen shot from Earthquakes-Volcanoes Discovery, who also provide a list of volcanoes erupting currently. BOTTOM LINE We are reminded by a link found at Steve Quayle's website the importance of being as prepared as possible, because when the "big one" hits in the U.S., it will be too late. We see that store shelves in Japan are empty as people start "panic buying" after the deadly earthquakes hit. Related: Life After Devastating Events like earthquake, tsunami, volcanic eruption and EMP — No Power, No Food, No Transportation, No Banking And No Internet ! Wake Up Before It’s Too Late While no one can be prepared for total devastation if their home is destroyed, those left without transportation because of inaccessible roads, or access to their bank account or ATM machines, should have food, water, medical supplies and cash on hand before catastrophe hits.

Suicide Rates Climb In U.S., Especially Among Adolescent Girls

By Rae Ellen Bichell • 2 hours ago Originally published on April 22, 2016 10:11 am

In the '80s and '90s, America's suicide trend was headed in the right direction: down. "It had been decreasing almost steadily since 1986, and then what happened is there was a turnaround," says Sally Curtin, a statistician with the National Center for Health Statistics, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The suicide rate has risen by a quarter, to 13 per 100,000 people in 2014 from 10.5 in 1999, according to an analysis by Curtin and her colleagues that was released Friday. She says it's heartbreaking to work with these data. While other causes of death are on the decline, suicide just keeps climbing — and it's doing so for every age group under 75. "I've been losing sleep over this, quite honestly," says Curtin. "You can't just say it's confined to one age group or another for males and females. Truly at all ages people are at risk for this, and our youngest have some of the highest percent increases." There is one age group that really stands out — girls between the ages of 10 and 14. Though they make up a very small portion of the total suicides, the rate in that group jumped the most — it experienced the largest percent increase, tripling over 15 years from 0.5 to 1.7 per 100,000 people. And, Curtin points out, in any given year, there are a lot more suicide attempts than there are suicide deaths. "The deaths are but the tip of the iceberg," she says. Until the suicide trend reversed upward, there had been a number of improvements in the past few decades. In the late '80s, things were probably looking up partially due to new antidepressants that were more effective and had fewer side effects, says Dr. Maria Oquendo, a psychiatry professor at Columbia University Medical Center and president-elect of the American Psychiatric Association. "We saw this very encouraging decrease in suicide deaths," she says, and the parallel between antidepressant prescription and a decline in suicide was mirrored in other countries. "It was really very remarkable, and somehow that trend toward decreasing suicide rates abruptly stopped in 1999." What changed? One possibility is economic stagnation, which left more people out of jobs and probably made it harder for people to access health care and treatment. There was also a switch from the use of cocaine and crack to use of heroin and prescription painkillers, which can be lethal in case of an overdose. And there's also the matter of health insurance — a lot of people weren't covered or didn't have access to treatment for depression, the most common risk factor for suicide. (Since 2014, however, the Affordable Care Act has led to a substantial increase in insurance coverage.) "Now, the other thing that we were anticipating with some dread was the aftermath of the black box on antidepressants," says Oquendo, referring to a warning label that in 2004 the Food and Drug Administration required for commonly prescribed antidepressants. The label says that in people under age 26, the medications can actually increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and actions. Research has suggested that the warning scared doctors away from prescribing antidepressants to people of all ages. "And some of the increment in suicide deaths in the younger populations is potentially linked to an understandable reluctance by physicians who see these youngsters to prescribe antidepressants, even when they're aware that the individual is suffering from depression," says Oquendo. Research has shown that the benefits of prescribing antidepressants to mentally ill children tend to outweigh the risk of suicidal tendencies. But why such a sharp rise among adolescents, particularly girls? "We don't know what's going on, to be quite honest," says Arielle Sheftall, who works at the Center for Suicide Prevention and Research at the Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. "We have thoughts, that maybe it's this, maybe it's that. It's really hard to pinpoint one specific risk factor that really, truly is driving this trend." She and her colleagues study the risk factors that might push a depressed child or teen to attempt suicide. One hypothesis about what's going on with girls is pretty surprising: earlier puberty. "It's usually been referred to as the storm-and-stress period of life because there's just a lot of change happening all at one time," says Sheftall. Boys tend to hit peak puberty around 13 years old, and girls around 11 years old, though some studies show that girls are starting their periods earlier. "Research has shown that puberty, unfortunately, is associated with the onset of psychological disorders, specifically depression," says Sheftall. And depression is a big risk factor for suicidal thoughts and actions. So, because of the shifting age of puberty onset, girls might be opening the door to anxiety, depression and other psychiatric disorders earlier on in life. Sheftall and Oquendo say the hypothesis hasn't been carefully studied, but it's possible. Another potential factor is that girls attempting suicide could be using more lethal methods, resulting in more deaths. "It's frustrating because you want to never ever see these trends increase," says Sheftall. "That's what we kind of have dedicated our lives and research to: What is causing these increases to occur?" For now, there are still more questions than answers. If someone shows the warning signs of suicide: Do not leave the person alone, remove any firearms, alcohol, drugs or sharp objects that could be used in a suicide attempt, call the U.S. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255), and take the person to an emergency room or seek help from a medical or mental health professional.

Russian, Israeli jets dogfighted over Syria

11:22, 22 April 2016 Friday

According to multiple news reports, a Russian jet attempted to intercept Israeli military aircraft operating along the Syrian frontier. World Bulletin / News Desk Russian forces in Syria have fired at least twice on Israeli military aircraft, according to Israel's top-selling newspaper says. The Yedioth Ahronoth daily on Friday did not give details of dates or locations for the incidents or if any indication Israeli planes were hit. Separately, Israel's Channel 10 TV said a Russian warplane approached an Israeli warplane off the Mediterranean coast of Syria last week but that there was no contact between them. Israel has repeatedly violated Syrian airspace and bombed targets inside the country which is fighting foreign-backed militants. Visiting Moscow on Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly raised the issue with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin said: "I think there are understandable reasons for these intensive contacts, given the complicated situation in the region." According to Yedioth, the reported Russian fire on Israeli planes was first raised with Putin by Israeli President Reuven Rivlin, who visited Moscow on March 15. At the time, Putin responded that he was unaware of the incidents, Yedioth said.

Netanyahu, Putin tweak military coordination as Syria conditions change

In Moscow meeting, Netanyahu tells Putin the Golan Heights is a red line that must remain a part of Israel and Russia’s leaders must coordinate closely to deal with friction between their countries’ militaries operating in close proximity and keep small problems from turning into much larger ones, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday in Moscow. Netanyahu’s comments to diplomatic reporters by phone from Moscow came at the end of a two-and-a-halfhour meeting he had with Putin in the Kremlin. He acknowledged that despite a “deconfliction” mechanism he set up with Putin in September, there has been some friction and problems that needed to be dealt with. He did not spell them out. “We must remember there is a war being waged beyond our border,” he said. “We don’t always pay attention to that, but we [Israel and Russia] are discussing this regularly.” Netanyahu said that in light of security issues that he raised with Putin, the Russian leader recommended that OC Air Force Maj.-Gen. Amir Eshel, as well as Netanyahu’s military attaché, Brig.-Gen. Eliezer Toledano – who both accompanied Netanyahu to Moscow – hold an immediate meeting with Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu and senior Russian generals. “They went there and discussed in detail the coordination between our armies on a number of issues that have been on the agenda,” Netanyahu said. “That is important because we must preserve the freedom of action of the IDF and the air force in areas that are important for our security. And I think that was achieved.” Netanyahu said “problems naturally arise” when two militaries are operating so close to one another, and that “if you don’t deal with that friction, it could develop into something much more serious, as we saw on another front.” Netanyahu was referring to the downing last year by Turkey of a Russian plane, something that sent relations between Moscow and Ankara spiraling downward. During statements to the press before the meeting, Netanyahu repeated in Putin’s presence what he said on the Golan Heights on Sunday: that the strategic plateau will always remain part of Israel. “We will not go back to the days when they fired at our communities and at our children from atop the Heights,” Netanyahu said. “Therefore, with or without a [Syrian] agreement, the Golan Heights will remain under Israeli sovereignty.” Putin, who along with Iran is Syrian President Bashar Assad’s strongest backer, did not respond to Netanyahu’s comments publicly. Netanyahu said earlier this week that his comments about the Golan Heights are necessary because a draft for a Syrian peace agreement circulated by the UN special envoy calls in its very first clause for Israel to return the Golan to Syria. What he is trying to do, he said, is get the world used to the idea that Israel has no intention of returning the Golan Heights to Syria. Even though this, and issues such as the diplomatic process with the Palestinians and arms shipments to Iran, were raised, the premier said he had come to Moscow with one central goal: “to strengthen the security coordination between us to prevent mistakes, misunderstandings and unnecessary accidents” between Israeli and Russian forces. “During our last meeting I presented to you our security policy regarding our northern border,” Netanyahu told Putin, referring to a meeting the two held on the sidelines of the Paris climate conference in November. “Israel has clear redlines for our self-defense,” he said. “First of all, we are acting to the best of our ability to prevent the transfer of advanced weaponry from Iran and Syria to Hezbollah in Lebanon. Secondly, we are working to prevent the establishment of an additional terrorist front against us from the Golan Heights. These are our red lines, and we will continue to maintain them.” This was Netanyahu’s third meeting with Putin since September, an indication of the close coordination that is taking place between the two countries as a result of Moscow’s involvement in Syria. The premier said he will return to Moscow for another visit on June 7. During that visit, marking 25 years to the reestablishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries, Netanyahu said he would sign a long sought-after agreement with Moscow to pay pensions to immigrants in Israel from the former Soviet Union. According to Immigration and Absorption Minister Ze’ev Elkin, who also joined Netanyahu and served as his translator, while some 30,000 immigrants from the FSU already receive a pension from Russia, the new agreement will secure pensions for another 30,000 who up until now have not received Russian pension funds. Netanyahu pointed out during his comments alongside Putin that there were currently more than a million native Russian speakers living in Israel, and that they serve as a “living bridge between our two peoples.”

Israel slams UNESCO members for ‘erasing’ Jewish ties to Jerusalem

UN culture body voted overwhelmingly for resolution that ignores Jewish history at Temple Mount

By Times of Israel staff April 21, 2016, 12:20 am

Israel’s Foreign Ministry on Wednesday sent a “sharply worded letter” to members of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) who voted in favor of a resolution in which Jewish ties to the Temple Mount and the Western Wall area in Jerusalem’s Old City were wholly ignored. Foreign Ministry director Dore Gold “complained about the attempt to erase the Jewish connection to the capital of the Jewish people Jerusalem, and to Jewish holy places,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Emmanuel Nahshon said in a statement. “Although the UNESCO resolution will have no practical effect, we will not allow international actors to blur the Jewish connection to its eternal capital,” Gold wrote in his letter. The letter was sent at the behest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who also doubles as foreign minister. The UNESCO executive board on Thursday adopted a resolution on “Occupied Palestine” presented by several Arab countries referring to the Temple Mount by only its Arab name, Haram al-Sharif or Holy Sanctuary. The UNESCO resolution, authorized by the executive board’s Programme and External Relations Commission, was submitted by Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Qatar and Sudan. The resolution was approved by 33 states, including France, Russia, Spain and Sweden. Seventeen countries abstained while six voted against, including the United States, Estonia, Germany, Lithuania, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. The resolution refers to Israel as the “occupying power” at every mention and uses the Arabic Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al-Haram al-Sharif without ever calling it the Temple Mount, as it is known to Jews. The text does refer to the Western Wall Plaza but places it in quotation marks, after using the Arabic Al-Buraq Plaza. The resolution also accuses Israel of “planting fake Jewish graves in Muslim cemeteries” and of “the continued conversion of many Islamic and Byzantine remains into the so-called Jewish ritual baths or into Jewish prayer places.” The resolution enraged Israeli officials, including Netanyahu, who called it “yet another absurd UN decision,” and accused the international body of “rewriting a basic part of human history.” Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid wrote a biting letter to UNESCO calling the decision “a part of a sustained political campaign against the State of Israel and the Jewish people.” On Monday, UNESCO chief Irina Bokova sought to calm anger over the resolution and called for “respect and dialogue” in an effort to calm tensions. Jews consider the complex, formerly the site of the two temples, to be Judaism’s holiest site. Muslims regard the compound — which today houses the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock — as the third-holiest site in Islam. While Jewish visitors are allowed to enter the site, Jewish worship is banned under arrangements instituted by Israel when it captured the area from Jordan in the 1967 Six Day War. The site has been the focal point of violence wracking Israel and the Palestinian territories — including dozens of Palestinian stabbing attacks on Israelis — over the past several months, amid claims by Palestinian leaders that Israel plans to change the status quo on the Temple Mount. Israel has vehemently denied those charges.

Islamist Turkey seizes ALL Christian churches in city and declares them 'state property'

TURKEY'S Islamist government has stepped up its war on Christianity by seizing all the churches in one city and declaring them state property.

By Nick Gutteridge PUBLISHED: 00:01, Fri, Apr 22, 2016 | UPDATED: 15:30, Fri, Apr 22, 2016

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has taken control of six churches in the war-torn southeastern city of Diyarbakir in his latest move to squash freedom of speech and religious movement. The state-sanctioned seizure is just the latest in a number of worrying developments to come out of increasingly hardline Turkey, which is in advanced talks with the EU over visa-free travel for its 80 million citizens. Included in the seizures are Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox churches, one of which is over 1,700 years old. They have now effectively become state property - meaning they are run by the government - in a country with a dire human rights record where about 98 percent of the population is Muslim. The order to seize the churches was made on March 25 by Erdogan's council of ministers, according to the website World Watch Monitor. They claim it was made on the grounds that authorities intend to rebuild and restore the historical centre of the city, which has been partially destroyed by 10 months of urban conflict between government forces and militants from the Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK). But the seizures have outraged worshippers at the churches, who fear a government coup against their religion are now threatening to take legal action against the decision. Ahmet Guvener, pastor of Diyarbakir Protestant Church, said: "The government didn't take over these pieces of property in order to protect them. They did so to acquire them." And the Diyarbakir Bar Association - which represents Christians worshipping at one of the churches, has now officially filed an appeal the government's action. In a statement the group said: "Among the expropriated plots, there are structures belonging to public institutions ... and places of worship and residences considered as historical and cultural heritage. "This decision, which seems to be made by the request of the Ministry of Environment and Urban Planning without any reason or justification, is unacceptable within the limits of constitutional order." Local government officials are also thought to be critical of the decision, claiming that the seizures lack legal justification and will cause cultural damage to the town. In response ministers have insisted the order to take control of the churches was not religiously motivated, pointing out that they have also occupied a number of historic mosques in the city. But, unlike Christian churches which are maintained by the generosity of their congregations, all mosques in Turkey are state-backed and funded, meaning their futures are secure. Reacting to the seizure Victoria Coates, who is foreign policy advisor to US Presidential hopeful Ted Cruz, said the seizure fits into a pattern in the Middle East, where Christians are systematically displaced and persecuted.

End of the world fears spark pandemonium after mystery fireball turns sky BLOOD RED

A MYSTERY fireball that turned the skies blood red has caused panic that the world is about to end.

By Jon Austin PUBLISHED: 06:27, Fri, Apr 22, 2016 | UPDATED: 14:02, Fri, Apr 22, 2016

The night sky above El Salvador was transformed into bright red blanket with witnesses across Chalchuapa fearing a big meteorite was about to strike their town. Staggering images of the phenomena have gone viral online after being shared by El Salvador news site El Blog. The site claims people leaving the Horem-Ebenezer church saw a “giant red ball” in the sky that was visible for a matter for seconds before disappearing. Gabe Hash wrote: "According to the information received, several people were going out of a religious service at the Horem-Ebenezer church when they saw a giant red ball in the sky which last just seconds and disappeared, leaving the skies tinted with a red colour. "Sometimes after the passge of the firet rail in the atmosphere, it left a trail of dust for sometime." There was already online panic following a series of major earthquakes killed hundreds of people in Japan and Ecuador this week, with so-called earthquake predictors claiming a major quake could strike TOMORROW or Saturday. Some online doom mongers are suggesting it could be more signs from the heavens of a looming apocalypse after last September's fourth Blood Moon event of a tetrad, when the moon turned red during an eclipse, an event many said signalled the start of the end of the world. One poster, Tim, said: "The four blood red moons were a sign of things to come."

Isis: Daesh renews chemical attacks on Kurdish fighters in northern Iraq

By Paul Wright April 22, 2016 14:00 BST

Islamic State (Isis) jihadists have renewed chemical attacks on Kurdish fighters in the last week as allies prepare to retake the terrorist group's stronghold of Mosul in Iraq. Kurdish forces, also known as Peshmerga, say they were attacked twice in one week by a "yellowish gas" in northern Iraq, with soldiers left struggling to breath and choking. The most recent attack, on a village near the town of Gwer south-east of Mosul, was reported on Tuesday (19 April), with eight soldiers affected. Another chemical attack, believed to be chlorine, was launched close to Gwer on Sunday, seeing one Peshmerga fighter reportedly killed with four others injured. The fallout was witnessed by former British Army colonel Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, who now helps train forces like the Peshmerga and who used to be a commanding officer of the UK's Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) regiment. "Isil (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) have attacked the Peshmerga with chemical weapons at least 10 times in the last six weeks alone," he told The Telegraph. "It is clear that Isil units do have chemical weapons in forward positions, and are very happy to use them." Speaking about Tuesday's attack, he added: "Soldiers talked of a yellowish gas and those unable to flee suffered from difficulty in breathing and choking. On the face of it this sounds like chlorine." The military use of chlorine or mustard gas – both said to be in Isis commanders' arsenal – is banned under international law. The UK government said there were now numerous "credible reports" the terrorist group had adopted chemical warfare. Last month, an attack allegedly carried out with the use of chemicals on the Iraqi town of Taza saw a three-year-old girl killed and hundreds others injured. In February, Isis launched another suspected chemical attack against dozens of Peshmerga militants who suffered from vomiting, dizziness and difficulty breathing after improvised rockets struck. The strike landed in an area south of Sinjar, a north-west town about 50km (31 miles) from the Syrian border, according to the Kurdistan Region Security Council (KRSC). Retaking Mosul It comes as Iraqi and Peshmerga forces, with help from the Western allies, prepare to retake the Isis stronghold of Mosul, which was captured in June 2014. President Obama said in an interview this week he expected the city to return to the control of the Iraq government by the end of the year. The threat of chemical weapon attacks in denting that goal has been suggested as more psychological than military. "It's a legitimate threat. It's not a high threat. We're not, frankly, losing too much sleep over it," US Army Colonel Steve Warren said. Bretton-Gordon added: "The fear of chemical weapons is the real terror of war. Less than 0.5% of casualties during World War I were attributed to chemical weapons, yet the Great War has become synonymous with their use. The current conflict in Syria and Iraq depicts a similar picture. "As Isil loses more ground and gets pushed back towards Raqqa, it will use every means at its disposal to hold off defeat. In the aftermath of Taza and Sinjar attacks, chemical weapons could be employed again."

Russia Tests Hypersonic Glide Vehicle on Missile

High-speed weapon to match U.S. prompt strike weapons

BY: Bill Gertz April 22, 2016 4:59 am

Russia conducted a flight test of a revolutionary hypersonic glide vehicle last week that will deliver nuclear or conventional warheads through advanced missile defenses, U.S. defense officials said. The test firing of the hypersonic glider took place Tuesday and involved the launch of an SS-19 intercontinental ballistic missile from eastern Russia, said officials familiar with details of the test. Russia’s state-run Interfax news agency confirmed the test on Thursday. Pentagon spokeswoman Lt. Col. Michelle Baldanza said: “While we have seen the reports in the media, the Department of Defense has nothing to offer on this.” Tuesday’s test was only the second known test of a new hypersonic glider. An earlier test took place last year. China and the United States also are developing hypersonic missiles, both gliders and jet-powered vehicles that travel at extreme speeds. China has conducted six tests of its DF-ZF hypersonic glider. A U.S. Army hypersonic missile blew up shortly after launch in August 2014. The Pentagon also is developing a scramjet-powered hypersonic weapon. Hypersonic missiles are being developed to defeat increasingly sophisticated missile defenses. The weapons are designed for use in rapid, long-range strikes. Interfax, quoting a source familiar with the Russian test, confirmed it involved a “prototype hypersonic aircraft” that will be deployed on current and future long-range missiles. The test was carried out in the Orenberg region of Russia, located near the border with Kazakhstan. The hypersonic glider was launched atop an SS-19 missile and the test was said to be successful, the news agency said. Earlier, Russia’s Moskovsky Komsomolets reported that the new hypersonic glider was tested from a missile launched at the Dombarovsky missile base in Orenberg, where SS-18 missiles are deployed. A defense official told the Washington Free Beacon preliminary indications were the test was successful. No details were provided on how fast the vehicle went or the distance it traveled. Hypersonic speed is between Mach 5 and Mach 10, or 3,836 miles per hour to 7,673 miles per hour. Hypersonic weapons pose technological challenges for weapons developers because the speeds create high heat and pressure that make flight and precision targeting difficult. Russia has made developing hypersonic weapons a high priority. Gen. Valery Gerasimov, chief of the Russian general staff, stated in May 2013 that Moscow opposed further nuclear arms talks because of U.S. development of precision-guided hypersonic weapons that could be used in place of some nuclear weapons. Gerasimov was referring to the X-37B space plane and other systems in development that could be used in what the Pentagon calls conventional Prompt Global Strike—weapons capable of hitting any target on earth within 30 minutes. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitri Rogozin has said that “whoever is first to achieve” mastery of hypersonic weapons would “overturn the principles” of how wars are waged. He also compared hypersonic weapons development as on par with development of nuclear arms. U.S. intelligence officials have disclosed to Congress in testimony that China’s DF-ZF hypersonic gliders appear designed to deliver nuclear warheads through missile defenses. However, the high-speed DF-ZF also could be used with conventional warheads as part of what the Pentagon calls “anti-access, area denial” weapons China is developing to threaten U.S. forces near China’s coasts. Last week during a congressional hearing, Missile Defense Agency Director Vice Adm. James Syring was asked whether his agency is working to counter the threats from Chinese and Russian hypersonic strike weapons. Syring disclosed plans to build laser weapons to counter hypersonic threats. “I’ve asked for $23 million to begin a low-power laser demonstrator this year to demonstrate the feasibility by 2021,” the three-star admiral told the House Armed Services strategic forces subcommittee. Rep. Mike Rogers (R., Ala.), chairman of subcommittee, expressed concern about the hypersonic threat. “I’m troubled that Russia and China continue to outpace the U.S. in development of these prompt global strike capabilities, complain about our tepid development programs, and the Obama administration’s ideological reductions to the Missile Defense Agency budget have denied that agency the resources to do anything to develop defenses,” Rogers told the Washington Times. Mark Schneider, a former Pentagon strategic forces policymaker, said if the reports of the test are confirmed “it is a major threat development.” “Russia has an extensive program underway on hypersonic vehicles,” Schneider said. “This year the Russian state media is reporting that a hypersonic cruise missile is being developed for Russian naval vessels including the ‘5th generation’ Husky missile submarine that is now under development.” The new anti-ship missile, known as Tsirkon, will be in operation by 2018. Russian press reporting has indicated that the new Pak DA stealth bomber under development will also be armed with air-launched hypersonic missiles. “U.S. programs involving hypersonic vehicles are modest by comparison,” Schneider said. “I would be surprised if we actually deploy one. If we do, it will likely be conventional. Russian hypersonic vehicles will likely either be nuclear armed or nuclear capable since this is the norm for Russia.” Jane’s Intelligence Review disclosed last year that the Russian hypersonic strike vehicle is called the Yu-71. The report said the Russians could deploy up to 24 hypersonic gliders as nuclear delivery vehicles at Dombarovsky between 2020 and 2025. Geneva-based military analyst Pavel Podvig, who runs the blog Russianforces.org, said the program for the glider is code-named as Project 4202. Podvig said a test flight of the glider was expected. “Whether it was successful, as the reports allege, or not, we don’t know,” he said.

China tests ballistic missiles with the longest range in the world, capable of striking US or Britain with TEN nuclear warheads

Dongfeng-41 ballistic missile is capable of carrying 10 nuclear warheads

The rockers are believed to have a maximum range of around 8,700 miles

Pentagon officials slammed China for testing 'intercontinental weapons'

China's defence ministry refused to deny that a test had been carried out

China has tested a weapon which could be used to strike London and the United States with nuclear warheads. The Dongfeng-41 missile, which has the longest range of any ballistic rocket in the world, can carry up to ten nuclear warheads. US Pentagon officials are said to have slammed China for testing the 'intercontinental weapons', which have a maximum range of around 8,700 miles. China hit back at its critics today, saying it was perfectly 'normal' to carry out ballistic missile launches. US media site Washington Free Beacon, citing unnamed Pentagon officials, reported that China had carried out a test of its DF-41 long-range missile on April 12. The report linked the tests to tensions between Washington and Beijing over the South China Sea, noting it came three days before a visit by US Secretary of Defence Ashton Carter. In a brief response, China's defence ministry did not deny a test had been carried out, but dismissed media reports of a specific location as 'pure speculation'. A statement on the ministry's website said: 'It is normal for us to carry out scientific research tests in our own territory, according to our plans, and they are not aimed at any specific nations or targets.' China claims nearly all of the South China Sea, which is home to some of the world's most important shipping lanes and is believed to contain vast oil reserves. But many of its Southeast Asian neighbours have overlapping claims, and tensions have risen over China's construction of artificial reefs in the disputed waters. On Monday, China's defence ministry gave its first confirmation that Beijing had landed a military flight on the Fiery Cross reef in the Spratlys archipelago, also claimed by the Philippines. On the day of Carter's trip, Beijing said that one of its top military officials had visited a South China Sea island.

China denies reports of massing troops at North Korea border

Reuters April 22, 2016

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's Defense Ministry on Friday denied reports that Chinese troops were massing on the North Korean border, ahead of a possible fifth North Korean nuclear test, saying its deployments there were normal. The Hong Kong-based Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy said earlier this week that China had sent 2,000 troops to the border, a story picked up by Russian and Iranian news outlets, among others. The decision was made ahead of the expected testing of North Korea's fifth nuclear device, the report said, in violation of U.N. sanctions. "The relevant report does not accord with the facts," the Defense Ministry said in a short statement. "The Chinese military maintains normal combat readiness and training on the China-North Korea border." China denies reports of massing troops at North Korea border

Reuters April 22, 2016

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's Defense Ministry on Friday denied reports that Chinese troops were massing on the North Korean border, ahead of a possible fifth North Korean nuclear test, saying its deployments there were normal. The Hong Kong-based Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy said earlier this week that China had sent 2,000 troops to the border, a story picked up by Russian and Iranian news outlets, among others. The decision was made ahead of the expected testing of North Korea's fifth nuclear device, the report said, in violation of U.N. sanctions. "The relevant report does not accord with the facts," the Defense Ministry said in a short statement. "The Chinese military maintains normal combat readiness and training on the China-North Korea border." It did not elaborate. Reports periodically surface about unusual troops movements on the border, which are hard to verify independently and generally quickly denied by the Chinese government. North Korea has vowed to conduct further nuclear tests, despite stepped up international sanctions. Some experts expect North Korea to conduct a fifth nuclear test in the near future, possibly before a ruling party congress in early May, following an embarrassing failure of a test of an intermediate-range missile earlier this month. China is North Korea's most important economic and diplomatic backer, but has been infuriated by North Korea's nuclear and missile tests and has signed on for tough U.N. sanctions. North Korea and the rich, democratic South are still technically at war after the 1950-53 conflict ended in an armistice, not a treaty. China and North Korea fought side-by-side against a U.S.-backed South Korea, which joined forces under the U.N. flag. The North routinely threatens to destroy South Korea and the United States.

The Flashpoint Continues to Build: Intelligence Sources Indicate Russia May Be Planning A Spring Offensive

Jeremiah Johnson April 21st, 2016 SHTFplan.com

The news network reports have been combined with leaks within the intelligence communities of Europe and the United States to paint a picture of a possible spring offensive in Eastern Ukraine by Russia. Now that Ukraine’s “bid” to enter the EU seems to be coming apart at the seams, the United States and the Western IMF hegemony seem to be in an indecisive state about what option to pursue next. Arseny Yatsenuk, the puppet of the United States installed by Victoria Nuland, John McCain, and Lindsay Graham has resigned, so no more words of ventriloquism will be emanating from his lips. Petro Poroshenko the chocolate magnate will now hold the reins in his hands while the IMF/NATO cartel figures out what is next in store. The plan to “take” Ukraine into NATO and the EU was nothing more than a thinly disguised design to encroach upon Russia’s back door and invade her sphere of influence. The Daily Mail’s Allan Hall reported that Vladimir Putin has been building a secret army of trained battle groups for close combat operations in Western Europe, specifically in Germany. These battle groups are reported as being ready to go into operation “at a moment’s notice.” Actually this is nothing new. Vladimir B. Rezun, writing under the pen name Viktor Suvorov has written such revelatory pieces such as “Inside the Soviet Army,” and “Inside the Aquarium,” the latter work chronicling the GRU and Spetsnaz operations throughout the world on behalf of the Soviet Union. The techniques (as corroborated by Stanislev Lunev, a defecting Colonel and author of several works on the subject) have carried over into Russia today. Russia has always been adept at inserting agents and clandestine operatives in other countries in the event of hostilities. Of course, these agents are also performing intelligence-gathering functions, but they are in a “hold” pattern for the most part. The agents Hall refers to in his report have a wealth of experience drawn from more than a decade of brush and ghost wars (such as Chechnya I and II, Georgia, Ukraine, and recently Syria). The Russian military policy is to expose their special units in these brush wars to “get their feet wet” and give them a taste of combat operations. Subsequently they are inserted into their target countries, and the ones who have experienced combat are pegged for leadership positions in an operational capacity. The Russian response in Eastern Ukraine is justified and, under the circumstances, completely understandable. Ukraine is very important for the transmission of natural gas resources through Gazprom Russian pipelines: Ukraine is the “bridge” linking those gas supplies to Western Europe. The United States and NATO have failed miserably in their attempt to undercut Russia by securing part of Syria for a planned competing gas line running from Qatar. So much for the IMF’s bid to deprive Russia of natural gas income from Western Europe. In Eastern Ukraine, the fighting against the Ukrainian military is always reported by the mainstream media as being “initiated by pro-Russian separatist rebels.” In all actuality, the fighting was initiated by the Ukrainian army against Ukrainian citizens who are ethnically, culturally, and linguistically Russian. The United States and NATO overthrew Viktor Yanukovich because he was pro-Russia. The Ukrainian Constitution and the duly elected leader of the Ukraine were trampled upon, as Nuland played the role of Geppetto, and Yatsenuk the part of Pinocchio. Insert into all of this Soros and his Open Society Initiative foundations, and you find that he was responsible for the rise of Maidan and the ultra-nationalist faction that staged the protests and enabled the confusion for the coup to come to its fruition. The Russians, on the other hand, neither mince words nor fool around. As soon as Sevastopol and their naval base on the Black Sea was threatened, they acted. With the current Russian military-supported actions by the separatists, what is not being reported upon is the high level of atrocities that almost amount to ethnic cleansing carried out by the Ukrainian military. Soros and the other Oligarchs are bent and determined to have Russia capitulate and allow Ukraine to join the rest of their European hegemony. They’re not going to succeed. We will probably find out this spring or summer if indeed Russia feels it must secure more territory in Ukraine in order to more firmly establish a buffer against the West and its allies. Ukraine is a hotspot to watch, and surely the U.S. will try to insert another yes-man of the ilk of Yatsenuk, probably one with a little more ability this time.

Warning From US Veteran: NWO Using 'Smart Weapons' To Take Down America - 'The Clock Is Ticking'

April 21, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

According to Billy Corgan, the lead singer of The Smashing Pumpkins as heard in the 4th video below with Alex Jones from Infowars, if we lose free speech, we lose everything as Americans and 'free humanity' and ensure that the future will forever be a boot stamping upon a human face. However, all across America at this very moment, the right of Americans to speak freely is under fire with 'social justice warriors' mobilized to attack the 1st Amendment Rights of US Patriots and anyone else whose own ideas disagree with their own being the least of our worries. At this moment, as Susan Duclos previously reported on ANP, a most insidious movement is underway within our own Congress via House Resolution 569 to take away our right to speak freely - a move by some to condemn free speech and conflate it with violence in an underhanded attempt to institute sharia law in America. As we learn in the latest alert from the website of Steve Quayle republished below offering us a glimpse of what America and the free world now face from 'a warrior who spent a lot of time in the Middle East and has a very interesting perspective about what is now happening', Europeans and Americans are now facing 'smart weapons' of the New World Order. The 'smart weapons' that we face, we are unable to stop before they attack because we cannot fully detect them as they blend into American communities and they get full political protection from those who are enabling them and their agenda. And we are warned: "the clock is ticking". Why should Americans and Christians 'kowtow' to a group of people whose stated agenda is to destroy us and who are raping and killing Christians around the world in the name of their religion every day? Is there something more at play here that we have to dig a little bit deeper to find out? As we're told in the SQAlert below, Islam has become a secret weapon of the NWO and according to this alert, it's a 'weapon of mass destruction' that is enabling Christians and others to be slaughtered in the Middle East and elsewhere around the world in the Islamic name. Meanwhile, those who are in Washington DC and have the power to do something about it turn their focus instead upon law-abiding American citizens, Christians, Constitutionalists and everybody else whose ideas, thoughts and speech don't align with their own. In the first video below we get an emergency warning from Donald Trump to the American people in the form of a poem based upon a 1968 song called "The Snake" by Al Wilson based on the Aesop fable of 'The Farmer and the Viper" set to current day events, especially in Europe, where a 'trojan horse invasion' is ongoing this very moment. In the 2nd video below we hear why Trump's proposal to ban Muslims is completely lawful and legitimate. More below videos on what is now happening in America as the government of Saudi Arabia attempts to dictate to the American people. 1st, the important alert from the website of Steve Quayle below.: Islam, is a RELIGION OF MASS DESTRUCTION. They are the smart weapons of the NWO that we cannot fully detect before an attack and that we cannot stop because of our political leaders Steve over the last couple of days I have been waking up pissed and wanting to fight. Every morning I check the news and see a new head line about some barbaric attack from a Muslim that is just so heinous I can't bare to read further.. Attacks on Christians are relentless and filmed for the all the world to see. Attacks on women, acid thrown in their face, gang raped by dozens or more muslim men, beheaded, tortured, sold as sex slaves, child brides and beaten until some are unrecognizable. Killing children, piking them, crucified, burned to death, ripped apart and eaten, the boys ripped from their mothers to become the monsters that killed their own families..all for what? And why? I'll tell you what this is. It is the world's best weapon of mass destruction so far. It is Islam. It is a RELIGION OF MASS DESTRUCTION. They are the smart weapons of the NWO that we cannot fully detect before an attack and that we cannot stop because of our political leaders agendas have integrated them into our own governments and society's. They are everywhere and you better start gripping that "go bag" a little tighter and clean your weapon. You may very well be needing them both this summer. I heard yesterday that Islam is peaceful religion but ruined by extremist? As a man who has been to these countries and fought these hellions I can tell you for a fact that the only peace these, monsters, these anti-christ warriors know of is the peace they will receive once they've been killed...true to us all sadly. For how many thousands of years have these animals been torturing and murdering their way through history and killing the children of God? This decadence will NOT last much longer. These grotesque creatures of hell will not stand when the Lord Jesus Christ comes back. All will kneel and all will bow before the one and only King. The clock is ticking, the evil one's armies are amassing and the great war will begin soon. But fear not for the Lord thy God will not abandon you. He will lift you up amongst His saints and you charge into battle with a crown of glory on your head beside the King of Heaven; and through the grace of God we will be victorious. Top that hollywood.. To My fellow veterans. Repent of your sins, ask Jesus to come into your heart and let Him redeem you and you will be saved. Wash yourself in His holy fires and cover yourself in the Blood of the Lamb. It is not too late brothers and sisters. Rejoice in His honor and let His love embrace you. God is calling your name stop and listen. To all the father's and husbands out there. Now is the time to man up and own your mistakes. Repent, repent and be forgiven! The Lord God did not assign you as the head of the household because you are weak. Let go of your weaknesses and wickedness! Be kind to your ways, be loving to your children! Turn off the explicit things and thrown down your addictions! None of these things make you a man. God does. Your family does. You duty to them and Him does. Time to man up or face the incoming b*tch slap that I'm gonna give you if I ever catch you not acting the way God has decreed you to act. If what I just said offended you then take it to the Lord as brother Steve always says. Some people may not like that. Some people don't like to be called out and have their metal tested from one of their own. Too bad. This is my calling then and not yours. Then men of God are not meant to to be weak. A man of God acts, he does not wait no matter the consequence of his actions. The story over at Zero Hedge and the 2nd video above from Infowars tells us all about 'the smoking gun', what is known as 'Document 17' and links that Saudi Arabian Embassy in Washington DC to September 11th. As ANP has previously reported, Saudi Arabia is now threatening the United States over releasing the truth of those documents. Will Americans allow the government and kingdom of Saudi Arabia to push us around? As The Times writes today, new evidence has come to light of a definitive link between Saudi Arabian officials and the 9/11 terrorist attacks "further raising tensions as President Obama travels to the kingdom." According to the report, Ghassan Al-Sharbi, a Saudi who became an al-Qa’ida bomb maker, is believed to have taken flying lessons with some of the 9/11 hijackers in Arizona but did not take part in the attacks on New York and the Pentagon that killed 3,000 people in 2001. He was captured in Pakistan in 2002 and has since been held at Guantanamo Bay. According to a US memo, known as document 17, written in 2003 and quietly declassified last year, the FBI learnt that he had buried a cache of papers shortly before he was captured. Think of "Document 17" as a mini version of the "28 pages" whose content has yet to be revealed. The document was written by two US investigators examining the possible roles of foreign governments in the attacks. One detail leapt out at the FBI agents from the papers that Sharbi had tried to hide: his US flight certificate was in an envelope from the Saudi embassy in Washington. Should Americans be concerned about the attempts to take away our right to speak freely? As Susan Duclos told us back in January, the 1st Amendment protects even unpopular, or offensive speech, so long as it is not being used as incitement to violence. Why is our government attempting to protect an ancient book that promotes such violence as seen outlined in the picture below? There is clearly something wrong here and it appears to us that those who were promoting the 'trojan horse invasion' of Europe have similar plans for America and the American people. Would you follow sharia law in America? Please let us know what you think in the comment section below.

CDC secret warning on surge of illegal kids: 'Plan on many having TB'

By Paul Bedard (@SecretsBedard) • 4/21/16 5:02 PM

During the recent surge of tens of thousands of young illegal immigrants crossing the Mexico-U.S. border, the Centers for Disease Control warned staff that many will be infected with tuberculosis — but the public wasn't given a head's up. In fact, the young adults, few of whom had received the types of vaccines U.S. children received, arrived with TB, swine flu and even Dengue, according to reports that eventually filtered out of border agents and hospitals on or near the U.S. border. The internal warning was: "We might as well plan on many of the kids having TB." It was included in June 2014 email guidance from environmental health scientist Alaric C. Denton as the agency prepared to handle the crisis, which was repeated in 2015 and is expected again this year. "Most of these kids are not immunized, so we need to make sure all our staff are immunized," said Denton, who is stationed at the CDC headquarters in Atlanta, according to a new document obtained by the watchdog group Judicial Watch and released Thursday. What's more, the documents obtained in Judicial Watch's investigation of the flood of so-called unaccompanied minors, topping 70,000 a year, revealed that all aren't the little children the administration has portrayed them as. Many are young adults, and gang members. "The CDC official reveals in the documents obtained by JW as a result of the lawsuit that 'some of these kids are not really kids they are young adults, and we should be wary of personal safety,'" said a memo. Judicial Watch added, "Homeland Security sources directly involved with the mess told JW that holding centers were jam-packed, rampant with diseases and sexually active teenagers. A veteran Border Patrol officer who heads the agency's Tucson sector quickly established that many of the UACs were not little kids but rather 17-year-olds with possible ties to gang members in the U.S."

Chemtrail Flu: Have You Got It Yet? You’re sick. Your nose is stuffy. Your body aches, You’re sweaty, coughing, sneezing and you don’t have enough energy to get out of bed. It’s not the flu according to Dr. Len Horowitz. His opinion is not based on conspiracy theory but on conspiracy fact. Over the past 10 years, Horowitz has become America’s most controversial medical authority. A university-trained medical researcher, Horowitz, 48, charges that elements of the United States government are conspiring with major pharmaceutical companies to make large segments of the population sick. The mainstream media is reporting that hospital emergency rooms are jammed with patients suffering from a bizarre upper respiratory infection that doesn’t quite seem like a virus. They are reporting that it’s a “mystery” flu and that the flu vaccines are ineffective against it. “That’s all hogwash, bogus nonsense”, says Dr. Leonard Horowitz. “The fact of the matter is, we have seen this type of an epidemic since the end of 1998 and the beginning of 1999. People have been hacking and coughing with this bizarre illness that does not seem to follow any logical viral or bacterial onset and transition period. If it was a really bacterial or a viral infection, it would have caused a fever but it didn’t It lasts for weeks, if not months. Sinus congestion, sinus drainage, cough, fatigue, general malaise. People have been feeling “off”. Read more: http://www.aircrap.org/2016/03/04/chemtrail-flu-got-yet/

Secret Court Takes Another Bite Out of the Fourth Amendment

April 21, 2016 | By Cindy Cohn

Defenders of the NSA's mass spying have lost an important talking point: that the erosion of our privacy and associational rights is justified given the focus of surveillance efforts on combating terrorism and protecting the national security. That argument has always been dubious for a number of reasons. But after a November 2015 ruling [.pdf] by the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) was unsealed this week, it's lost another chunk of its credibility. The ruling confirms that NSA's warrantless spying has been formally approved for use in general criminal investigations. The national security justification has been entirely blown. That's because the secret court, over the objection of its hand-selected amicus, determined that once information is collected by the NSA for "foreign intelligence" purposes under section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act, that information can be searched by the FBI for regular criminal investigations without any need for a warrant or prior court oversight. Although the FISC has signed off on the FBI's procedures claiming this authority for years, this ruling from late 2015 may be the first time the FISC has actually considered their legality. Section 702 is the law that the government uses to conduct two massive NSA programs: access to communications as they travel the Internet backbone (called Upstream) and access to communications stored with service providers like Google and Facebook (called Prism). According to this ruling, communications like email and Facebook posts collected by the government under the broad authority of section 702 that the FBI has access to—including all "raw" Prism data—can be mined for any "evidence of a crime" and used against you, even if you're inside the United States. The amicus appointed by the FISC, Amy Jeffress a former DOJ attorney, argued: the FBI may query the data using U.S. person identifiers for the purposes of any criminal investigation or even an assessment. There is no requirement that the matter be a serious one, nor that it have any relation to national security...[T]hese practices do not comply with....the Fourth Amendment. The FISC Court did not listen to its amicus. Instead it applied some faulty (not to mention scary) bootstrap reasoning. The court questioned whether it's constitutional for the FBI to query NSA intelligence databases to find information to use against Americans in regular criminal investigations unrelated to national security. Government lawyers suggested that "targeting" and "minimization" procedures erase the harm that surveillance causes to Fourth Amendment principles, though we’ve explained why those procedures impose inadequate limits and allow unconstitutional spying to continue. We're also reminded of Justice Roberts' recent observation: "the Founders did not fight a revolution to gain the right to government agency protocols." Nevertheless, the FISC court decided that, instead of determining whether the Fourth Amendment was violated by the specific use of NSA collected information against particular Americans in criminal investigations, it only had to determine whether the program "as a whole" violated the Fourth Amendment. To do that, it perverted a prior case decided by the FISA appeals court, called the FISCR. That case, In Re Directives [.pdf], upheld national security surveillance as a "special need" not subject to the Fourth Amendment's normal warrant requirement, and reasonable specifically because this surveillance was not used for "garden-variety law enforcement." While we disagree with the In Re Directives case, it plainly rested its analysis on when "surveillance is conducted to obtain foreign intelligence for national security purposes." But according to the FISC, that justification only applies at the time of initial collection (including the kind of massive overcollection that is occurring under 702) and can be completely abandoned once the government has its mitts on your communications. The upshot is that the government needs a national security or foreign intelligence purpose only for the initial collection and analysis of information. Once it has communications in its custody, those limitations no longer apply and the government can troll through it for whatever law enforcement purpose it wants without having to worry about getting a pesky warrant. Of course we know that the government has lost track of how many things are illegal. So it's open season. This is a constitutional problem. Quite apart from the bait and switch opportunities it creates for the FBI, it's like saying it's OK for school officials to set up a drug testing program for non-law enforcement purposes, and then once it’s set up, they can completely abandon that purpose and start testing students to simply to put them in jail. Or that the government can set up a program to test pregnant women for drugs with a goal to get them into treatment, but also hand the information over to the police and use the threat of prosecution as additional leverage. The Supreme Court rejected the latter scenario as unconstitutional in Ferguson v. City of Charleston in 2001. Other Supreme Court cases make clear that even holistic, programmatic assessments of Fourth Amendment "reasonableness"—like the one the FISC engages in here—must take into account the invasiveness of these programs. Searching vast databases containing the full content of emails and every website visited by nonsuspect Americans without a warrant is about as invasive as it gets. This FISC decision is flawed for all of these reasons. But we won't get a chance to present those flaws to the court of appeals, much less the US Supreme Court, because in cases before the secret surveillance court only the government, not the amicus (or those of us whose communications are swept up in these massive programs) is allowed to appeal. Still, two things are good about this decision. First, we know about it. Second, the court appointed an amicus who did try to get the court to recognize at least some of the Fourth Amendment problems with the government’s actions. Those are both new developments for the FISC, and both are due to parts of the USA Freedom Act that EFF championed. We still have a long way to go, but without those sections of the law, we wouldn’t be able to raise our concerns here. Just as important, we wouldn’t be able to use this bad decision to educate Congress about yet another reason why it should let section 702 expire when it comes up for renewal in December 2017.

Gay Lawmaker: You May Be Denied Federal Programs for Aiding Religious Freedom

by Dr. Susan Berry21 Apr 2016654

An openly gay Missouri state representative told a Farm Bureau staff member that her support for a pro-marriage amendment to the state constitution could result in a loss of federal subsidies to her organization and to the state’s farmers. The pro-marriage amendment is intended to protect religious leaders and wedding vendors who support marriage — and who oppose single-sex marriage — from legal retaliation. “There’s no room in public policy for elected officials issuing threats to constituent groups,” said Ryan Johnson, president of Missouri Alliance for Freedom, in a statement to Breitbart News. “I hope that as the debate on religious liberty continues in Missouri we won’t see any future instances of such behavior.” Senate Joint Resolution 39 passed the Missouri state senate last month along party lines after Democrats held a 39-hour filibuster against the measure. It next moved to the Missouri House’s Emerging Issues Committee, chaired by Republican state Rep. Elijah Haahr. Approval of the measure would place the issue on the ballot for Missourians to vote on themselves. During a hearing of the Emerging Issues Committee, state Rep. Mike Colona (D) — who reportedly identified himself as the only openly gay member of the state legislature — said the following to Ashley McDonald, state legislative affairs director of Missouri Farm Bureau: I don’t know other states that have attempted to do this by amending the constitution. But, are you aware — what is it Mississippi just passed something like this? A little more draconian than this. But, the Department of Education is now investigating them and whether or not they have religiously protected themselves into discriminating and whether or not to withhold education funds. I was told, and I don’t know if it’s true or not, that farmers get a lot of federal subsidies. Is there any fear that if we do something like this, that the next thing you know the Department of A is going to knock on the door and say, “Wait a minute, you might not be eligible for all these subsidies because of what this constitutional amendment does.” When McDonald responded that she had not heard of what Colona described, he pressed: Well, I have to be honest, this is something new that I heard last night. It was relevant to the discussion… What I wanted to toss out there is that… because your membership is very active and, sometimes my constituents vote against their best interests all the time. But, it’s something that should be put out there. We’re talking about opening the door for litigation, for employee on employer suits. Some of the best applicants… the ability to retain them or even recruit them. What we haven’t talked about is whether or not we would put any of our federal dollars at risk by doing this… I think that should be part of the discussion. Maybe the only inquiry that would come back would be, “Sorry… we’ll take all your money,” or maybe not. But it is something we should talk about. “It’s rare that you get such a blatant example of government threat and coercion aimed at a constituent group caught on tape,” a Missouri-based campaign consultant tells Breitbart News. “Rep. Colona’s threat was clear: Missouri’s largest rural public policy organization must fall in line with persecuting religious minorities on behalf of the gay lobby or they can expect retribution from Rep. Colona’s friends in the Obama administration.” “It was disgraceful and Rep. Colona should apologize,” the consultant added. The measure is defined as follows: Submitting to the qualified voters of Missouri, an amendment to article I of the Constitution of Missouri, by adding thereto one new section relating to the protection of certain religious organizations and individuals from being penalized by the state because of their sincere religious beliefs or practices concerning marriage between two persons of the same sex. Colona also told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Wednesday that the state House might be amending the bill since the Senate approved it. “Depending on the day, depending on the hour, we either have just enough votes or just not enough votes,” Colona said about proposed amendments. “It’s been very fluid.” He added there were a “couple of amendments floating around out there.” “Those issues and the underlying constitutional amendment itself are being lobbied so heavily by both sides that it’s hard for the members to commit one way or another,” Colona said. Chairman Haahr, however, said he would like to see the measure move forward as is. “I’m leaning toward supporting the bill in its current form, but I’ve said from the beginning, I have a membership of 12 committee members, and it’s a majority vote,” he said. “I’m not going to force them to go one way or the other. They get to vet the bill and they get to decide whether or not they think it should be amended, passed or voted down.” Once the proposal passes the Emerging Issues Committee, it will travel to at least one more committee before landing on the state House floor. If the House adds amendment(s), the new version would need to be sent to a House-Senate conference committee. Breitbart News reached out for comment to both Colona and McDonald, but neither responded to the request.

BREAKING: Sidewalks Starting to Buckle in California; Earthquake Fears Grow!

April 21, 2016

Sidewalks outside of Palm Springs, CA are starting to lift up off the ground as the same force which caused the earthquakes in Ecuador and Japan is now hitting California; pressure from the Pacific Tectonic plate has now begun crushing into the US west coast. These photos, posted by the homeowner who lives about ten minutes outside Palm Springs, CA, show what’s taking place (Click twice to enlarge images): Before you say it, NO, there are no tree roots underneath. This buckling took place since yesterday, April 20. The resident also says that when his son stood on the sidewalk to see if it would move back down, it would not. See? Nothing underneath. This sidewalk is being pushed up from the ends; the ground at one end is moving toward the other end, buckling the sidewalk. EARTHQUAKE FEARS GROWING Would you be able to sustain your loved ones when all hell brakes loose?In this video, I will unearth a long-forgotten secret that helped our ancestors survive famines, wars, economic crises, diseases, droughts, and anything else life threw at them… a secret that will help you do the same for your loved ones when America crumbles into the ground. I’m also going to share with you three old lessons that will ensure your children will be well fed when others are rummaging through garbage bins. Watch the video below to learn all about the 3 skills that will help you thrive in any crises situation: The same tectonic plate which caused the tremendous earthquakes in Japan and later, in Ecuador last week, is now pushing against the west coast of the US. It is crushing-into the ground in California. As this movement continues, something, somewhere, has to “give.” That generally means an earthquake. Of course, California has little earthquakes all the time. It’s quite typical for that area. What worries many is that of all the regions affected around the world by the Pacific tectonic plate, the west coast of North America is the ONLY region where there has not (yet) been a major earthquake in the last ten days. Worsening those fears is the history of the 1906 great San Francisco earthquake. What many people do not know is that the San Francisco earthquake was part of a pattern of quakes which took place that year; first in Ecuador, then in Japan, and finally, the great San Francisco earthquake of 1906. Folks are starting to wonder if history is repeating itself? US GEOLOGICAL SURVEY INSTRUMENTS LIGHTING UP! The US Geological Survey has a vast array of monitoring equipment deployed throughout the US west coast, and in California particularly. One of the devices they utilize is called a “Crustal Deformation Sensor.” It detects when the earth’s crust is being deformed (crushed/moved). They are euphemistically referred-to as “creep meters” because they detect if the ground has started to creep in one direction or another. As of 11:47 AM eastern US time, nineteen out of the twenty-three creep-meters around San Francisco have lit-up as “active” meaning the earth’s crust is — right now — being deformed around San Francisco. You can see the green icons on the map below. Green means “active” Red means “inactive.” It would seem prudent for persons residing in California to make certain they have emergency food, water, flashlights, batteries, radios and first-aid kits, just in case ” a big one ” strikes. source: superstation95.com

Is America ready for a TSUNAMI? Scientists reveal plans to deal with killer waves across the Pacific Northwest

A massive tsunami event like is said to occur every 400-600 years, and is now overdue in the region

Now states such as California, Oregon, Washington and Alaska are attempting to combat the threat

Scientists are detailing plans on how to combat threat at Seismological Society of America meeting

New technologies such as camera-bearing drones could send video messages of incoming waves

Scientists are looking at where and when tsunamis occurred in past, to better understand how they form

By Ellie Zolfagharifard For Dailymail.com Published: 16:12 EST, 21 April 2016 | Updated: 17:03 EST, 21 April 2016

The threat a massive tsunami hitting the Pacific Northwest has concerned scientists for years. Experts say an event of this kind occurs roughly every 400-600 years, and the area is overdue a similar quake that could leave thousands dead or displaced. Now states such as California, Oregon, Washington and Alaska are looking to both the past and the future to prepare for a tsunami on the US Pacific coastline. Plans for managing tsunami risk on the West Coast are still evolving, according scientists speaking at the Seismological Society of America's (SSA) 2016 Annual Meeting, held April 20-22 in Reno, Nevada. Meanwhile, geologists are searching for evidence of past tsunamis in the region to help them refine their estimates of tsunami risk. There is, for instance, the evidence for frequent and large earthquakes and tsunamis occurring within the past 2,000 years in parts of the Eastern Aleutian Islands. There are signs that these earthquakes have spanned the boundary between the locked and creeping portions of the region's megathrust fault. Earthquakes in the area could cause significant tsunami effects across the Pacific, especially in Hawaii and California. 'Despite the fact that we have learned a significant amount about the earthquake sources for tsunamis, there are gaps in our understanding of past tsunamis, especially prehistoric tsunamis,' says Rick Wilson, a senior engineering geologist with the California Geological Survey. 'If we can demonstrate when and where tsunamis occurred in the past, that information will give us a better understanding of the return periods in these areas, and that can go into the probabilistic analyses that help us understand our hazard and risk better.' Wilson, who also serves as the science coordinator for the State of California Tsunami Preparedness and Hazard Mitigation Program, noted that more than 440,000 people have died worldwide since 1850 as a result of tsunamis. The deadly tsunamis caused by the 2004 Sumatran earthquake and the 2011 Tohoku earthquake brought increased public attention to tsunami science, warning and preparation. At the SSA meeting, Wilson will discuss how California officials used state tsunami response playbooks to respond to a tsunami advisory issued after the September 2015 magnitude 8.3 Illapel earthquake in Chile. The playbooks were created after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, 'when there was very little consistency between communities [in California] in what they did,' Wilson says. 'Some evacuated their entire zone, some just evacuated their beaches.' The new playbooks offer a variety of action plans depending on the size of the tsunami from a distant source, Wilson says. The future of tsunami response and preparedness might come from new technologies such as camera-bearing drones. These could send video messages of incoming waves to convince coastal dwellers to evacuate, says Masa Hayashi, a retired IBM engineer presenting at the SSA meeting. And there's also the remote possibility that the trigger for a tsunami might not come from an earthquake, but from an asteroid strike on the Earth. In an SSA talk, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researcher Souheil Ezzedine will share data from a study that models the effects of an asteroid-generated tsunami, on several coastline cities in the U.S., depending on the asteroid's impact off the U.S. East Coast, the Gulf of Mexico, and into the Pacific Ocean near San Francisco. Last month, scientists were finally able to trace the origins of the historic tsunami that struck the coasts of Japan just before midnight on January 27, 1700. They linked it to a powerful seismic event in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, along the Cascadia Subduction Zone. 'Cascadia can make an earthquake almost 30 times more energetic than the San Andreas to start with,' Chris Goldfinger, a professor of geophysics at Oregon State University told CNN. 'Then it generates a tsunami at the same time, which the side-by-side motion of the San Andreas can't do'. The Cascadia could deliver a huge 9.0-magnitude quake and the shaking could last anything from three to five minutes, scientists claim. 'In this case, three minutes - and I've been in a 9 in Japan - three minutes is an eternity,' said Goldfinger. 'It is a very, very long time.' Goldfinger says we'll lose bridges, highway routes and that the coast will probably be entirely closed down. As a result it would be difficult to get around, and rescue crews will be overwhelmed. Federal, state and military officials have been working together to draft plans to be followed when the 'Big One' happens. These contingency plans reflect deep anxiety about the potential gravity of the looming disaster: upward of 14,000 people dead in the worst-case scenarios, 30,000 injured, thousands left homeless and the region's economy setback for years, if not decades. As a response, what planners envision is a deployment of civilian and military personnel and equipment that would eclipse the response to any natural disaster that has occurred thus far in the US. There would be waves of cargo planes, helicopters and ships, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers, emergency officials, mortuary teams, police officers, firefighters, engineers, medical personnel and other specialists. 'The response will be orders of magnitude larger than Hurricane Katrina or Super Storm Sandy,' said Lt. Col. Clayton Braun of the Washington State Army National Guard. Oregon's response plan is called the Cascadia Playbook, named after the threatening offshore fault — the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The plan, unveiled last year, has been handed out to key officials so the state can respond quickly when disaster strikes. 'That playbook is never more than 100 feet from where I am,' said Andrew Phelps, director of the Oregon Office of Emergency Management. A magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami that devastated parts of Japan in 2011 gave greater clarity to what the Pacific Northwest needs to do to improve its readiness for a similar catastrophe. 'The Japanese quake and tsunami allowed light bulbs to go off for policymakers,' Phelps said. Much still needs to be done, and it is impossible to fully prepare for a catastrophe of this magnitude, but those responsible for drafting the evolving contingency plans believe they are making headway. Worst-case scenarios show that more than 1,000 bridges in Oregon and Washington state could either collapse or be so damaged that they are unusable. The main coastal highway, US Route 101, will suffer heavy damage from the shaking and from the tsunami. Traffic on Interstate 5 — one of the most important thoroughfares in the nation — will likely have to be rerouted because of large cracks in the pavement. Seattle, Portland and other urban areas could suffer considerable damage, such as the collapse of structures built before codes were updated to take into account a mega-quake. The last full rip of the Cascadia Subduction Zone happened in January 1700. The exact date and destructive power was determined from buried forests along the Pacific Northwest coast and an 'orphan tsunami' that washed ashore in Japan. Geologists digging in coastal marshes and offshore canyon bottoms have also found evidence of earlier great earthquakes and tsunamis. The inferred timeline of those events gives a recurrence interval between Cascadia megaquakes of roughly every 400 to 600 years, reports the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network.

PHYLLIS SCHLAFLY’S EAGLE FORUM TORN APART BY CRUZ SUPPORTERS

By Kelleigh Nelson April 14, 2016 NewsWithViews.com

“Sometimes the people you’d take a bullet for are the ones behind the trigger.” —Taylor Swift

After Phyllis Schlafly’s endorsement of Donald J. Trump, a rift started in her organization, Eagle Forum (EF). The coup, which has emerged, is over Phyllis’s endorsement of Donald Trump, and her battle against a Constitutional Convention. Eagle Forum is the parent organization that also includes the Eagle Forum Education and Legal Defense Fund and the Eagle Forum PAC. Eagle Forum has been primarily focused on social issues; it describes itself as pro-family and reports membership of 80,000. In March, Schlafly introduced and endorsed Donald Trump at a rally in St. Louis, two months after many state and local Eagle Forum leaders had announced their support for Ted Cruz. She felt Trump was a strong conservative who really would make America great again. Here is the video of that endorsement. In August of 2015, Schlafly named Ed Martin to take over her day-to-day duties as president of Eagle Forum, and she became chairperson and CEO of the organization. This last weekend, Ed Martin emailed the group's members about a recently uncovered “scheme to push Phyllis Schlafly out of Eagle Forum.” Phyllis endorsed the email prior to it being sent out. These six women are allegedly being led by Phyllis’s daughter, Ann Cori, and Cathie Adams. Here’s a portion of what he said and the women behind this coup: On Thursday, we received a tip from a longtime EF member in South Carolina that the Con-Con people are pursuing a scheme to push Phyllis Schlafly out of Eagle Forum. Six directors of Eagle Forum are holding a rogue meeting in violation of the Bylaws unless they are stopped. The rogue group members have a hidden agenda, and most refused to return phone calls personally made to them by Phyllis to ask what their concerns are. They are being guided by a big, liberal law firm that they refuse to identify, but the press has identified. They also refuse to say who is funding the high paid liberal lawyers. Here are the six directors of this Gang of 6: Eunie Smith – allowed Alabama to be one of the first states to pass Con-Con, in May, 2015. Carolyn McLarty – owes Reince Priebus of the RNC for her special committee position on the RNC from Oklahoma. Ann Cori (Phyllis’s daughter) – did nothing to stop the Con-Con as it sailed to passage in Missouri last year, until national Eagle Forum intervened. Rosina Kovar – does not return calls to her by Phyllis and has mentioned to someone else that her ringleader told her not to talk to anyone. Shirley Curry – does not return calls to her by Phyllis. Cathie Adams – disparaged and insulted Phyllis in a publicly quoted interview in Dallas, phoned Phyllis to apologize, but has not retracted her statements. Last night we found out that Cathie gave a new on-the-record press interview about this and is trying to push her agenda. Thanks to Cathie, we are now seeing this terrible betrayal of Phyllis play out in the media. The Eagle board endorsed Ed Martin, but would not allow Ed Martin to attend the private meeting they had called. Schlafly stated that “The six board members calling the telephone meeting won’t tell me what the meeting is about, but I think it’s an attempt to vote me out. It’s disloyal and terribly shocking, and I’m completely depressed about it.” Dissidents are pro Constitutional Convention and Cruz Supporters These six women are against Schlafly’s opposition to a new push for a Constitutional Convention via Balanced Budget Amendment (BBA) as well as the Convention of States. Schlafly has always fought a Con-Con, and was at our side in the early 80s to defeat the call then when the same ruse of a BBA was used. As of January, 27 states had passed resolutions calling for a constitutional convention, most relying on model legislation drafted by the American Legislative Exchange Council and the Convention of States, a little-known group founded by Michael Farris. Five of these six women are also Cruz supporters, and Cruz is all for a Constitutional Convention. He needs a Convention in order to pass the North American Union which his wife, Heidi, so diligently worked on at the CFR for five years. Supporter Glenn Beck, and David Barton who heads up the Keep-the-Promise Cruz PAC, are both pushing a Con-Con. From the Convention of States website come this: Ted Cruz immediately declared his support for Mark Levin's book, The Liberty Amendments upon its release. He posted a link on his Facebook page and wrote, "Mark's book sparks an important discussion about how to fix the problems that face our Republic." As well, check out Ted's article in the National Review where he promotes a Convention. Really Ted Cruz? You really believe a Constitutional Convention will fix the problems our Republic faces? Excuse me Ted, but the founders gave us everything we need. The problem is that the legislative, executive and judicial branches of our government do not want to follow what they've sworn an oath to. In a conversation with Bob Menges, the South Carolina director for the Convention of States (COS) Project, Cruz reiterated his support for the movement Cathie Adams, gave an interview to the Dallas Morning News, critical of Schlafly’s endorsement of Trump. I fully believe Cathie Adams and Ann Cori have spearheaded this entire takeover of Eagle Forum, the ousting of Ed Martin, as well as eliminating founder, Phyllis Schlafly. Phyllis rescinded her endorsement of Cathie Adams to be vice chair of the Texas GOP after Adams’ interview with the Dallas Morning News. Here is the letter Phyllis wrote after this phone meeting was finished: I have just released the following statement to the press and our members: "At 2:00 pm today, 6 directors of Eagle Forum met in an improper, unprecedented telephone meeting. I objected to the meeting and at 2:11pm, I was muted from the call. The meeting was invalid under the Bylaws but the attendees purported to pass several motions to wrest control of the organization from me. They are attempting to seize access to our bank accounts, to terminate employees, and to install members of their own Gang of 6 to control the bank accounts and all of Eagle Forum. "The members of their group are: Eunie Smith of Alabama, Anne Cori of Missouri, Cathie Adams of Texas, Rosina Kovar of Colorado, Shirley Curry of Tennessee, and Carolyn McLarty of Oklahoma. "This kind of conduct will not stand and I will fight for Eagle Forum and I ask all men and women of good will to join me in this fight." Ed Martin stated, “When people don’t return your phone calls or give you a straight answer about what they’re doing, Phyllis knows enough to recognize that’s pretty hostile.” Martin also cited an instance where an EF member who was also working for Ted Cruz, took a membership list and gave it to the Cruz campaign for marketing. “The Cruz campaign backed off using the list,” he said, “But we have a few incidents and the EF members who have endorsed Cruz are not happy with Phyllis’s endorsement of Trump.” The End Result Ed Martin was fired, even though he was Phyllis’s choice for President of EF. Eunie Smith, one of the six dissidents is now acting President until a new president can be elected. Cruz has now claimed the endorsement of Eagle Forum. It looks as though the Cruz and Con-Con supporters in Eagle Forum have turned their backs on their founder and her endorsements and Constitutional stances. [P.S. In order to help Mr. Trump we need to increase the hits to reach more people.

Obama owes Israel an apology

By Jennifer Rubin April 21

USA Today reported this week: “The Pentagon has approved airstrikes that risk more civilian casualties in order to destroy Islamic State targets as part of its increasingly aggressive fight against the militant group in Iraq and Syria, according to interviews with military officials and data.” Considering the enemy we face, the level of control and restraint that will continue is remarkable and admirable: Six Defense Department officials, all speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to describe how Islamic State targets are selected and attacked, described a sliding scale of probable civilian casualties based on the value of the target and the location. For example, a strike with the potential to wound or kill several civilians would be permitted if it prevented ISIL fighters from causing greater harm. Before the change, there were some limited cases in which civilian casualties were allowed, the officials said. Now, however, there are several targeting areas in which the probability of 10 civilian casualties are permitted. Those areas shift depending on the time, location of the targets and the value of destroying them, the officials said. The riskiest missions require White House approval, said one official, who is closely involved with current targeting plans. This is entirely appropriate and embodies the concept of “proportional force,” a mainstay of international law too often conveniently ignored or misinterpreted when it comes to Israel. And that brings us back to the Gaza war. The Israelis faced a much more imminent threat against an enemy deliberately using civilian shields. A U.S. review after the war confirmed the extraordinary lengths to which Israel went to avoid civilian causalities. That, however, was not how the Obama administration and, in particular Ben Rhodes, certainly the least expert and most partisan person to hold a senior foreign policy position in recent memory, saw things. (Recall that before the bodies from Libya were shipped home, Rhodes was the one drafting talking points to spin the incident so as to avoid the impression that the administration’s anti-terrorism policy was unraveling.) Rhodes, with no factual basis, insisted that Israel “can always do more” to avoid civilian deaths. (He offered no suggestions.) The administration announced itself “appalled” by Israel’s self-defense, which regrettably killed innocents (precisely as Hamas intended, by hiding weapons and terrorists in civilian areas). Don’t expect the administration to “self-reflect” on its criticisms of Israel now that it is in the same boat — balancing innocent life against the threat from aggressors. As for Israel, you will not hear any public “I told you so’s.” The Israeli government, unlike the current administration, understands that the United States and Israel share many things, among which is the dedication to the rule of law, the preservation of innocent life and a transparent democracy that is willing to examine its own conduct, debate and correct course when appropriate. Until the Obama administration came along, U.S. presidents generally understood this as well, defending Israel from efforts to delegitimize it and constrain its right to self-defense under the phony, distorted banner of “international law.” The next president should avoid mimicking the administration’s unwarranted criticism, as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has done. We’ve repeatedly credited Hillary Clinton for rebutting Sanders’s libel, and thereby by implication, the administration’s Gaza war rhetoric. But neither should Obama’s successor follow the monstrous suggestion from Donald Trump that we should target noncombatant women and children and should engage not merely in enhanced interrogation but out-and-out torture. America is not “great” because it can outdo its enemies in mendacity; it is great — as Israel and other Western democracies are — because it is a force for good in the world and abides by Judeo-Christian values that do not revere power above all else.

Birds of a Feather? The Link Between BDS and Hamas

Naïve college students are due for a wake-up call

By Ziva Dahl • 04/22/16 4:00pm

The terrorist organization Hamas and the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS) share a common goal: The elimination of the Jewish State of Israel—one with rockets, tunnels, suicide bombers and explosives placed to kill the maximum number of civilians; the other with words and actions to demonize Israel, turning it into a pariah not worthy of its own state in the Middle East. The Hamas Charter states, “Israel will exist, and will continue to exist, until Islam abolishes it…. There is no solution to the Palestinian problem except by Jihad.” Senior Hamas official Izzat al-Risheq openly admits that the ultimate goal of BDS is to destroy Israel and calls for escalating BDS “to isolate the occupation and end the existence of its usurper entity.” Palestinian Omar Barghouti, a founding member of BDS, contends, “A Jewish state in Palestine in any shape or form cannot but contravene the basic rights of the indigenous Palestinian… most definitely we oppose a Jewish state in any part of Palestine….Ending the occupation doesn’t mean anything if it doesn’t mean upending the Jewish state itself.” In their own words, there is no daylight between the ultimate objective of Hamas and BDS Since the goals of Hamas and BDS intersect, it’s not surprising that former U.S. Treasury terrorism analyst Jonathan Schanzer recently testified before two subcommittees of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs about a troubling link between a major American funder of the U.S. BDS campaign and the terrorist organization Hamas. Using available “open source” information, it’s possible to examine past associations of individuals now active in American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), a major supporter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), the campus arm of the American BDS movement. From this data, Mr. Schanzer, now working for the Foundation in Defense of Democracies (FDD), concluded that “at least seven individuals who work for or on behalf of AMP have worked for or on behalf of organizations previously shut down or held civilly liable in the United States for providing financial support to Hamas: the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF), the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP) and the Kind Hearts Foundation for Humanitarian Development” (KindHearts). According to Mr. Schanzer’s testimony, the U.S. Treasury, in 2001, designated HLF the U.S. financing arm of Hamas. From 1995 to 2001, “HLF sent approximately $12.4 million outside of the United States with the intent to willfully contribute funds, goods, and services to Hamas.” Seven officials were indicted and the organization was closed down. Three individuals from HLF now work for or on behalf of AMP: Hossein Khatib, a board member for AMP and former regional director for HLF; Jamal Said, keynote speaker at AMP fundraisers and an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial against HLF; and Salah Sarsour, AMP board member who spent eight months in an Israeli jail for his Hamas activity. Islamic Association for Palestine also raised money and provided material support for Hamas in America. IAP was found civilly liable in federal district court for supporting Hamas and it subsequently disbanded. FDD discovered that four former IAP operatives now are involved with AMP: Rafeeq Jaber, former president of IAP and current representative and tax preparer for AMP; Sufian Nabhan, AMP board member and IAP’s former Michigan representative; Osama Abu Irshaid, current National Coordinator for AMP and former editor of IAP’s newspaper; and Abdelbasset Hamayel, previously IAP’s secretary general and KindHearts’ Illinois representative and now a director for AMP. The U.S. Treasury froze KindHearts’ assets for providing support for terrorism and it disbanded. Working closely with Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) provides money, speakers, training, printed materials and campus coordinators to student activists. It spent $100,000 on campus activities in 2014. AMP is a corporate not-for-profit, but not a federal 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. It uses the 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization Americans for Justice in Palestine Educational Foundation (AJP) as a fiscal sponsor, gives its money to AJP, who then disburses it to SJP and other BDS groups—a very convenient relationship that limits transparency. In the interest of transparency and national security, Mr. Schanzer urges Congress to legislate a disclosure process for tax-exempt organization employees and board members previously implicated in terror finance, requiring full release of prior histories to the IRS. He criticizes the U.S. Treasury for no longer giving sufficient attention to terror financing, commenting, “After notching eight terrorist designations of domestic charities over the last 15 years, the pace has slowed to a crawl.” Mr. Schanzer notes that while “our open source research did not indicate that AMP or any of these individuals are currently involved in any illegal activity,” the presence of operatives of former terror financing organizations in the leadership of AMP, an American charity, is significant, highly suspicious and demands further investigation by the federal government. The infiltration of Hamas terror financiers into a major American BDS-funding group should be a wake-up call to naïve college students and BDS apologists who think the BDS campaign is all about human rights and “ending the occupation.” Remember Cervantes’ observation—“Tell me thy company, and I’ll tell thee who thou art.”

How Christianity Helped Create Our American Democracy

Arthur Milikh / April 22, 2016 /

Alexis de Tocqueville, in his masterful work, “Democracy in America,” taught that religion is necessary for a healthy political order. As I argue at greater length in a new First Principles essay, American democracy, according to Tocqueville, owes both its origins and its preservation to Christianity. He thought religion “should be considered the first” of America’s “political institutions.” Tocqueville observed that the modern impulse toward democracy and belief in equality emerged first and made great progress in the Christian nations of Europe. This was no accident: By teaching the equality of all men before God, Christianity laid the groundwork for the rise of a belief in equality of all before the law. Christianity also played a key role in fostering the growth of democratic self-government in America. The tone of American political life was set by the Puritan settlers of New England. These pilgrims came to America in order to live out their religious beliefs in communities of their own creation. They governed their churches democratically, and by so doing they developed the expectation that they would settle political questions democratically, forming as well the habits of participation by which they could do so. Nevertheless, Tocqueville did not treat American Christianity as if it were a mere relic of the past, necessary to institute American democracy but to be discarded after it had performed this useful political task. On the contrary, he held that the spirit of Christianity helped American democracy to continue to flourish even after it had been established. For Tocqueville, political freedom requires an unshakeable moral foundation that only religion can supply. We tend to think of democracy as necessarily entailing freedom. But Tocqueville understood that democracy can end up resulting in various forms of oppression. Democracy means that the majority rules, which, when the majority is animated by a spirit of injustice, can result in majority tyranny. Democracy can also succumb to despotism of the government over its own people. This occurs when the people are so committed to the pursuit of their own private interests that they neglect the active participation in politics that is necessary to the preservation of their liberty. Christianity, Tocqueville argued, supports American democracy by counteracting these dangerous tendencies. It checks majority tyranny by reminding members of the majority that there are inviolable rules of justice that must be respected in the treatment of minorities. And it prevents the rise of a despotic government by emphasizing the duties of citizens to each other, including their duty to protect their freedom through political participation. It is true that Christianity does not dominate American culture the way it did in the 1830s, when Tocqueville wrote “Democracy in America.” We live today in a very different America. It does not follow, however, that Tocqueville’s advice to Americans to cherish and guard Christianity is now irrelevant. For Tocqueville, statesmen today should faithfully preserve what’s left of a moral culture and teach others about the benefits of religion in general. A religion that supports limits on the just power of a majority and teaches obligations to others is necessary to support democratic flourishing. “What makes a people master of itself if it has not submitted to God?” Tocqueville asked. Today, as conservatives continue to fight for religious liberty, we might recall not only individual rights to religious liberty, but religion’s essential feature for the preservation of our political order.

This Is How FEMA Trains Texas Police To Deal With Riots, Conduct Mass Arrests

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/22/2016 20:02 -0400

Last summer the state of Texas was ablaze over concerns surrounding the Jade Helm military drills held across the state prompted some to speculate that the Federal government was preparing for either a local insurrection, secession planning contencies for the Lone Star state or even a "Texas takeover." Similar confusion returned earlier this week when dozens of McLennan Community College students posed as unruly protesters as part of a Federal Emergency Management Agency training program. This "first of its kind" three day exercise in Waco, Texas was overseen by the Department of Homeland Security, during which police officers from fifteen different departments took part in drills on how to deal with riots and conduct mass arrests." Officers from the Waco Police Department, McLennan County Sheriff’s Office, Killeen Police Department, Lorena Police Department, DeSoto Police Department and troopers with the Texas Department of Public Safety, among others, participated in the three-day training program. This sparked questions: if it was "never held before" why is it being held now? Fonville's answer "we are here to protect people — protect protesters and protect law enforcement officers" adding that "this was very beneficial to get this kind of training here, especially in Central Texas, and for so many officers to have access to it." Others chimed in: "Riots are hard to detain, and as little officers as they have they are probably going to be outnumbered most of the time. It’s vital that they get it correct the first time," Criminal Justice major Dylan Solis told KCEN-TV. Area agencies sent 61 officers to the program at MCC’s Emergency Services Education Center for the course that started Monday and finished Wednesday, training coordinator Jay Fonville said. Students acted as nonviolent protesters, and Lopez was one of several classmates who chanted, screamed and antagonized officers during the drills. Fidencia Lopez, a student in MCC’s emergency medical technician program, posed as a protester throughout Wednesday’s demonstrations and said she gained valuable insight into how law enforcement officers are trained to operate in crowd-control scenarios. “This makes it very real to see how protesters are getting taken out and that there might be some injury or even with law enforcement,” Lopez said. Cops learned how to counter “domestic and civil disturbances” during the training, which was coordinated by the DHS’ Center for Domestic Preparedness, as well as “proper use of batons, mass-arrest procedures, and riot control formations." But most curious was the organizational presence of the Department of Homeland Security: FEMA instructors from across the country directed officers on the public’s constitutional rights and the appropriate way to handle situations with multiple arrests and mobile field-force team methods. The training is expected to be put into practice in "realistic situations," and more drills are being planned for the future. Was the "first of its kind" training session a harbinger of things to come? For now it is unclear, however as Paul Joseph Watson notes, "police departments across the country are buying riot gear in expectation of more Ferguson-style civil unrest sweeping the country." Maybe they know something.

New Report Proves US Law Enforcement Preparing for Rioting on a National Scale

Claire Bernish April 22, 2016

(ANTIMEDIA) Fascism doesn’t often sweep in overnight and take over some hapless nation’s government; rather, it gradually seeps into the cultural fabric — as is quietly taking place all around the globe, evidenced by an upsurge in sales of riot equipment that has gone largely unnoticed. A new report from analysts with industry research group, Sandler Research, forecasts the Global Riot Control System Market for the next four years — but beyond a burgeoning market to parallel the expanding global police state, it appears world governments are also keenly aware of civilian discontent. Sandler predicts the market will have an annual growth of 3.5 percent, and makes a telling juxtaposition, emphases added, involving the United States: “Law enforcement agencies around the world are the biggest market for riot control systems. This market is expected to generate revenues of over USD 3.5 billion by the end of 2020. Countries such as the U.S., Iran, Egypt, Russia, China, and Thailand have started procuring riot control equipment and are investing heavily in [non-lethal weapons]. Moreover, special vehicles that are equipped with water cannon and reservoirs have been designed for security personnel, for use in areas of conflict to handle large crowds and demonstration. Demand for such equipment is expected to rise during the next few years.” Note the last sentence in its truncated time frame. Specifically, the analysts continue: “In North America, the prominent markets are Canada and the U.S. and law enforcement agencies in these nations are best equipped with the upgraded weapons. The militarization of the police department and other law enforcement agencies in the Americas has encouraged the use of advanced riot control equipment.” While swaths of the country debate the finer points of which lesser evil should take the helm of the corporate plutocracy, various U.S. law enforcement agencies have been gearing up for the virtually inevitable unrest both during and following those elections. Militarized police forces have become de rigueur, even in the nation’s smallest towns — but arming law enforcement with the weapons of war, rather than protecting civilians, has birthed a chasm of distrust and animosity on both sides. It isn’t as if this equipment is being produced by a marketplace intent on keeping civilians safe from an ostensible outside threat. As the report, which does not offer a breakdown of specific agencies it might be referring to (though may in its body which can be purchased for $2,500 here), definitively states: “Law enforcement agencies use riot control systems to maintain the public order and safety and to enforce laws. They are used to disperse, control, and arrest people involved in riots and protests. Riot control systems include lethal and non-lethal weapons (NWLs), body-worn cameras, armored vehicles, and communications systems.” As if released in conjunction with one another, a report by Lloyd’s intones the necessity of preparedness as mass civil unrest can not only spark without prior warning, but flare outward, unpredictably — what the insurer calls “Political Violence Contagion.” According to the report, instances of political violence “contagion (pandemics) have become more frequent, and the contagion effect ever more rapid and impactful.” Considering massive worldwide demonstrations in the U.S. and elsewhere — as people finally grasp how corrupt governments actually are — it becomes apparent in these reports the politicians and their enforcement agencies comprehend the greatest threat to their power. As caucuses and primaries fall into chaos — and the City of Cleveland gears up for the Republican National Convention — voters and nonvoters alike harbor greater disillusionment than ever before. Cleveland, whose police are currently under federal oversight following a Department of Justice probe that found a general pattern of brutality, plans to spend around $20 million to beef up security measures for the RNC. While part of the sum will focus on training, personnel expenditures, and the like, Vox reported 40 percent will be earmarked for “equipment and supplies” — including, in part, 2,000 sets of full-body riot gear. Additionally, if not ominously, the city “has put out bids for, among other things, 24 sets of ballistic body armor, 300 patrol bikes, and more than 3.7 miles of interlocking steel barriers, all of which can be used to curtail protestors,” according to Vox. Together, the reports paint a dire prediction — not as much for its illustration of a world in chaos, but for its intimation authoritarian actors may act aggressively to quash even positive and peaceful change by the rest of us.

Obama's federalization of police grows nationwide

White House: 53 departments sign on to federal oversight

Published: 1 day ago

Announced Friday, 53 police departments around the country have signed on so far to the White House-pressed Police Data Initiative, a plan by President Obama to make crime-fighting more technology-driven and accountable to higher-ups, but that is seen by critics as a not-so-subtle federal takeover of community policing. The program, which comes by way of a recommendation from the Task Force on 21st Century Policing that Obama launched in December – which was created by the White House in response to widely reported instances of police-community clashes and alleged cop discrimination against minorities – is aimed at enhancing “data transparency and analysis” among police departments around the nation. The ‘Stop Hillary’ campaign is on fire! Join the surging response to this theme: ‘Clinton for prosecution, not president’ In White House jargon, according to a May 2015 “Launching the Police Data Initiative” press release: “Through the initiative, key stakeholders are establishing a community of practice that will allow for knowledge sharing, community-sourced problem solving and the establishment of documented best practices that can serve as examples for police departments nationwide.” The ultimate goal? “Increased trust and impact,” the White House reported. The initiative in 2015 kicked off in Camden, New Jersey, a “predominantly black city” that’s “one of America’s most violent and also among its poorest,” NewsOne reported. Then, 20 other communities joined on to the program as well, which included training from federal authorities on how to gather and use data to “increase transparency, build community trust and support innovation,” the White House reported. “Police State USA: How Orwell’s Nightmare is Becoming Our Reality,” marshals the terrifying evidence to show the world of Big Brother is much closer than we want to admit. But it’s grown. Now, the number of participating police departments has jumped to 53. And critics say it’s little more than a federalization of local police because it puts the White House at the helm of deciding such matters as cameras on cop uniforms and whether or not local jurisdictions accept equipment from the military. Critics also say the data that’s being gathered at the local levels will lead to a massive federal database, overseen by federal authorities, who will then decide whether the individual police department is pursuing crime-fighting techniques in a manner that doesn’t discriminate against minorities. As the New American put it back in March of 2015: “The plan … will use U.S. taxpayer dollars to deploy ‘experts’ and ‘researchers’ charged with training officers to act in a manner that the [Department of Justice] deems just – in essence doing the bidding of the Obama administration. Officially, the Justice Department will be helping local officials ‘fight crime’ under the scheme.” And as the Blaze reported in August of 2015: “President Barack Obama’s administration has begun the second phase in federalizing the police.” Attorney General Loretta Lynch underscored in October 2015 the need for the federal government to collect data from local police departments, in order to “improve the accuracy and consistency” of how cops conduct their business. “The [DOJ’s] position and the administration’s position has consistently been that we need to have national, consistent data,” she said, in a statement on the Justice Department website. “This information is useful because it helps us see trends, it helps us promote accountability and transparency. We’re also going further in developing standards for publishing information about deaths in custody as well, because transparency and accountability are helped by this kind of national data.”

California Seeks to Eliminate All Gun Dealers

Tim Brown / April 23, 2016

Talk about infringing on the Second Amendment! Not only is the State of California targeting honest gun owners with totalitarian gun laws and limit purchases of firearms, but they are actually seeking to implement legislation that would ban all home FFL dealers from the state and impose Orwellian-style regulations on existing gun stores to the point where they would not be able to stay in business. Guns in the News reports: To start, AB 2459 will ban all home FFL dealers. There are hundreds of them in the state, and they may serve areas where a traditional brick and mortar store wouldn’t prosper. Rural residents would be denied their right to defend themselves. They could not legally purchase a firearm unless they drove hours to a larger population area. For traditional gun stores, the remaining two portions of the bill could drive them out of business. AB 2459 would then force all gun dealers to video record all areas of their store wherever firearms or ammunition are stored, displayed, carried, handled, sold, or transferred, including, but not limited to, counters, safes, vaults, cabinets, shelves, cases, and entryways. Adding to the Orwellian-ness, gun dealers will have to spend thousands of dollars on storing the high-quality data for up to 10 years on-site, turning each gun store that can afford it into a high capacity hard drive that most tech firms would be jealous of. Assuming a gun dealer is still in business after the first two requirements, the last one will do them in. AB 2459 mandates a first in the world form of insurance– an unobtainable policy that covers the criminal acts of second, third and fourth parties using a firearm or ammunition from the store in question, even if the retailer is in fact the victim of the crime or if the gun or ammo was stolen from the store. Petitions are being signed now to oppose the bill. The state killed legislation that repeals unconstitutional laws. For instance, AB 2229 was designed to remove a 10-day waiting period to purchase a gun, citing the US District Court case Silvester v. Harris. The Harris case found the 10-day waiting period violates the Second Amendment of those who successfully pass the standard background check prior to 10 days and who are in lawful possession of an additional firearm, possess a Certificate of Eligibility, or have a CCW. Additionally, California is seeking to kill AB2508, which would have allowed handguns to be reinstated to California’s diminishing Handgun Roster if it did not fail a safety test, allowing the handgun manufacturer to make necessary improvements based on customer feedback and supply chain changes. Since the right to keep and bear arms should be understood as a God-given right (Declaration of Independence) and not a right given by the state, the state should not be involved in any type of regulation or restriction of firearms. California is not following the law. It is a lawless state and it’s becoming more apparent every day.

Former FDA commissioner Margaret Hamburg named in massive conspiracy and racketeering lawsuit involving Johnson & Johnson, a Wall Street hedge fund, and the Levaquin drug

Friday, April 22, 2016 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

(NaturalNews) The former head of the FDA, Margaret Hamburg, used the federal agency to run a massive conspiracy of racketeering and fraud in order to generate millions of dollars in drug company profits for her husband's hedge fund firm, alleges a damning lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The lawsuit alleges that while acting as FDA commissioner, Margaret Hamburg engaged in a wide-ranging conspiracy to approve an extremely dangerous drug known to cause severe (and even deadly) side effects, in order to financially benefit her husband's hedge fund which held very large financial positions in Johnson & Johnson, makers of the drug. "Defendants, each and every one of them, operated a criminal conspiracy at least between the years 2009 to 2015 to fraudulently suppress warnings about the devastating effects of Levaquin," says the complaint. "This Amended Complaint sets forth allegations that involve a conspiracy by Defendants, each and every one of them, to reap large financial returns by failing to disclose to Plaintiffs and the public at large the full extent of the devastating, life-threatening, and deadly effects of a highly dangerous pharmaceutical drug named Levaquin," reads the opening of the lawsuit. The conspiracy complaint also alleges that over 5,000 people died as a result of Hamburg's conspiracy cover-up at the FDA: Once confirmed as FDA Commissioner, Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg acted as the instrumentality that all Defendants used to perpetrate their conspiracy and racketeering enterprise by having her act illegally and outside the scope of her authority as FDA Commissioner to suppress material information to Plaintiffs and the public that Levaquin was inherently dangerous and in fact, deadly. Had this information been disclosed to Plaintiffs and the public at large, her and her husband's financial gain and net worth would have plummeted, since Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg's husband, Peter F. Brown, reaped and continues to reap huge financial gain as a result of Renaissance Technologies, L.L.C.'s holdings of Johnson & Johnson stock. To further this conspiracy, Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg, acting in concert with each and every Defendant, jointly and severally, appointed officials of Johnson & Johnson to key FDA Advisory Committees and colluded with Johnson & Johnson and its officials and subsidiaries to suppress information about the dangerous and deadly effects of Levaquin. As a result, during Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg's tenure as FDA Commissioner from 2009 to 2015, over 5,000 people died as a result of consuming Levaquin and other dangerous drugs promoted, manufactured, marketed, distributed and sold by Johnson & Johnson, suffered debilitating, life-threatening, and deadly illnesses and effects. This deadly harm is continuing as Plaintiffs and thousands of other people are suffering and dying from the highly dangerous effects of Levaquin. "Both Alkermes and Johnson & Johnson stock value increased significantly during Hamburg's tenure," reports The Daily Caller. Margaret Hamburg "bought" her way into the FDA with financial contributions to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, alleges the lawsuit A fascinating finding in the lawsuit alleges that Margaret Hamburg bribed her way into the top position at the FDA by making large financial contributions to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama: Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg was nominated as a result of huge political and other gratuities to Hillary Clinton and The Clinton Foundation, and at Mrs. Clinton's recommendation. During the confirmation process before Congress, Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg, acting in concert with her husband, Peter F. Brown and the other Defendants named in this Amended Complaint, at all material times the Co-CEO of a hedge fund named Renaissance Technologies, L.L.C., failed to disclose to Congress and other relevant authorities, her and her husband's clear-cut conflict of interest – specifically, that Renaissance Technologies, L.L.C. held hundreds of millions of dollars of Johnson & Johnson stock, the manufacturer of the deadly drug, Levaquin. ...Defendant Hamburg, on behalf of all of the Defendants as part of this racketeering conspiracy, gave political contributions and gratuities to Hillary Clinton in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 to induce Mrs. Clinton to recommend and push for Defendant Hamburg to be nominated by President Obama. ...Defendant Hamburg, on behalf of all of the Defendants as part of this racketeering conspiracy, gave political contributions and gratuities to President Obama to induce him to nominate her to be appointed as FDA Commissioner. From what we now know about the Clinton Foundation's deep financial ties to Big Pharma and Wall Street hedge funds, none of this comes as any sort of surprise. In fact, while these allegations may have been easily dismissed as a "conspiracy theory" in 2008, so much more awakening has happened among the American public that they are now likely to be understood as an "actual conspiracy" being carried out among the political and financial elite who routinely conspire against the people in order to enrich themselves. Horrible side effects from the drug destroyed the lives of countless victims From the lawsuit: From May 2009 to March 2015, Plaintiffs suffered mitochondrial toxicity, neuropsychiatric adverse events, and multi-system disability related to their consumption of Levaquin, including a constellation of medical issues related to the following body systems: neuromuscular, neuropsychiatric, peripheral neuropathy, senses, skin, cardiovascular, plus, endocrine, nutritional, metabolic and immunity; blood and blood forming organs; circulatory system; respiratory system; digestive system; genitourinary system; and connective tissue. Specifically, Plaintiffs suffer from a constellation of medical issues, including but not limited to widespread bodily pain, fatigue, muscle weakness, muscle twitching, muscle wasting, gait disturbances, severe balance issues, stiffness, spasms, joint pain, tendon issues, seizures, tremors, numbness, burning, tingling, fasciculation, spasticity, nerve damage, autonomic issues, voice issues, exercise intolerance, difficulty swallowing, slow digestive motility, abdominal pain, acid reflux, gastritis, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, colitis, cognitive impairment, memory impairment, cardiac issues, urinary issues, kidney damage, liver damage, pancreatic damage, thyroid abnormalities, hair loss, glucose issues, respiratory issues, emotional issues, depression, psychosis, depersonalization, dissociation, anxiety, insomnia, abnormal dreams, suicidal thoughts, thought alterations, agitation, fatigue, dizziness, inability to concentrate, panic attacks, difficulty communicating, forgetfulness, bruising, vision issues, hearing issues, tinnitus, dental issues, gum issues, skin issues, rashes, multiple chemical sensitivity, sexual dysfunction, reproductive issues, and DNA damage. Highlights of the complaint You can read the complaint here, posted by the Daily Caller News Foundation. I've extracted some of the highlights of the complaint for reference, shown below. This Amended Complaint sets forth allegations that involve a conspiracy by Defendants, each and every one of them, to reap large financial returns by failing to disclose to Plaintiffs and the public at large the full extent of the devastating, life-threatening, and deadly effects of a highly dangerous pharmaceutical drug named Levaquin. Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg was nominated as a result of huge political and other gratuities to Hillary Clinton and The Clinton Foundation, and at Mrs. Clinton's recommendation. During the confirmation process before Congress, Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg, acting in concert with her husband, Peter F. Brown and the other Defendants named in this Amended Complaint, at all material times the Co-CEO of a hedge fund named Renaissance Technologies, L.L.C., failed to disclose to Congress and other relevant authorities, her and her husband's clear-cut conflict of interest – specifically, that Renaissance Technologies, L.L.C. held hundreds of millions of dollars of Johnson & Johnson stock, the manufacturer of the deadly drug, Levaquin. Once confirmed as FDA Commissioner, Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg acted as the instrumentality that all Defendants used to perpetrate their conspiracy and racketeering enterprise by having her act illegally and outside the scope of her authority as FDA Commissioner to suppress material information to Plaintiffs and the public that Levaquin was inherently dangerous and in fact, deadly. Had this information been disclosed to Plaintiffs and the public at large, her and her husband's financial gain and net worth would have plummeted, since Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg's husband, Peter F. Brown, reaped and continues to reap huge financial gain as a result of Renaissance Technologies, L.L.C.'s holdings of Johnson & Johnson stock. To further this conspiracy, Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg, acting in concert with each and every Defendant, jointly and severally, appointed officials of Johnson & Johnson to key FDA Advisory Committees and colluded with Johnson & Johnson and its officials and subsidiaries to suppress information about the dangerous and deadly effects of Levaquin. As a result, during Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg's tenure as FDA Commissioner from 2009 to 2015, over 5,000 people died as a result of consuming Levaquin and other dangerous drugs promoted, manufactured, marketed, distributed and sold by Johnson & Johnson, suffered debilitating, life-threatening, and deadly illnesses and effects. This deadly harm is continuing as Plaintiffs and thousands of other people are suffering and dying from the highly dangerous effects of Levaquin. Because of the Defendants' racketeering scheme and conspiracy to suppress warnings and other material information about the extent of the deadly effects of Levaquin, Plaintiffs were precluded from discovering the extent of their injuries until 2015, not coincidentally after Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg no longer held her position as FDA Commissioner in 2015 and material information about the full extent of the dangers of Levaquin were disclosed thereafter. Defendants, each and every one of them, profited handsomely from their racketeering conspiracy by their agreed-upon failure to disclose the harmful effects of Levaquin to Plaintiffs and the public at large. This case is thus of seminal importance not only for Plaintiffs, but also for the consuming public at large. It is a tragic testament to how corrupt companies like Johnson & Johnson and their officials bribe and illegally collude with government officials and line their pockets at the expense of persons such as Plaintiffs. Defendant Hamburg, on behalf of all of the Defendants as part of this racketeering conspiracy, gave political contributions and gratuities to Hillary Clinton in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 to induce Mrs. Clinton to recommend and push for Defendant Hamburg to be nominated by President Obama. Defendant Hamburg, on behalf of all of the Defendants as part of this racketeering conspiracy, gave political contributions and gratuities to President Obama to induce him to nominate her to be appointed as FDA Commissioner. In and around May 26, 2009, Defendant Hamburg was forced to divest herself of several hedge fund holdings, as was her husband, Defendant Brown. This was done in order for her to take the position as the top food and drug regulator without any real or apparent conflicts of interest. However, the conflict of interest herein was never resolved. Neither Defendant Hamburg nor Defendant Brown, nor any other Renaissance Technologies executive had fully disclosed to Congress and other authorities that Defendant Brown, Defendant Hamburg's husband at all material times, still held shares in – and benefits financially from – all of the stocks of Renaissance, via Renaissance Technologies profit-sharing, as explained in detail by Defendant Simons, regardless of whether Defendant Brown divested himself of a particular hedge fund, in furtherance of the racketeering enterprise and conspiracy. While Defendant Hamburg was FDA Commissioner, her husband, Defendant Brown's annual income, not coincidentally, increased from a reported $10 million in 2008 to an estimated $125 million in 2011 and an estimated $90 million in 2012, due in whole or in part to Defendants' racketeering conspiracy to withhold information about the devastating, life threatening, and deadly effects of Levaquin. As part of Defendant Hamburg's pattern and practice of acting illegally outside of the scope of her authority as FDA Commissioner in furtherance of the racketeering enterprise and conspiracy, she counseled the FDA to also approved another highly dangerous pharmaceutical drug that Renaissance Technologies owns stock in, Zohydro, despite the fact that on December 7, 2012, an FDA Advisory Committee voted 11 to 2 against its approval. In or around March 2013, Defendant Hamburg personally testified to members of Congress that she supported Zohydro's approval. Defendant Hamburg, as part of her pattern and practice of illegally acting outside the scope of her authority as Commissioner of the FDA, fraudulently used the U.S. mails and wires to commit overt acts in furtherance of the racketeering enterprise and conspiracy by willfully and intentionally and illegally preventing the FDA from issuing warnings about the devastating and life-threatening effects of Levaquin. On November 5, 2015, after Defendant Hamburg had resigned, an FDA employee, Debra Boxwell, finally exposed to Plaintiffs, and the public at large, that Defendant Hamburg and the FDA had been aware that Levaquin may result in multi-system disability since 2013, but that it did nothing to add this information to the Levaquin label and instead conspired with the other Defendants to fraudulently withhold it. From May 2009 to March 2015, Plaintiffs suffered mitochondrial toxicity, neuropsychiatric adverse events, and multi-system disability related to their consumption of Levaquin, including a constellation of medical issues related to the following body systems: neuromuscular, neuropsychiatric, peripheral neuropathy, senses, skin, cardiovascular, plus, endocrine, nutritional, metabolic and immunity; blood and blood forming organs; circulatory system; respiratory system; digestive system; genitourinary system; and connective tissue. Specifically, Plaintiffs suffer from a constellation of medical issues, including but not limited to widespread bodily pain, fatigue, muscle weakness, muscle twitching, muscle wasting, gait disturbances, severe balance issues, stiffness, spasms, joint pain, tendon issues, seizures, tremors, numbness, burning, tingling, fasciculation, spasticity, nerve damage, autonomic issues, voice issues, exercise intolerance, difficulty swallowing, slow digestive motility, abdominal pain, acid reflux, gastritis, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, colitis, cognitive impairment, memory impairment, cardiac issues, urinary issues, kidney damage, liver damage, pancreatic damage, thyroid abnormalities, hair loss, glucose issues, respiratory issues, emotional issues, depression, psychosis, depersonalization, dissociation, anxiety, insomnia, abnormal dreams, suicidal thoughts, thought alterations, agitation, fatigue, dizziness, inability to concentrate, panic attacks, difficulty communicating, forgetfulness, bruising, vision issues, hearing issues, tinnitus, dental issues, gum issues, skin issues, rashes, multiple chemical sensitivity, sexual dysfunction, reproductive issues, and DNA damage. Defendants, each and every one of them, operated a criminal conspiracy at least between the years 2009 to 2015 to fraudulently suppress warnings about the devastating effects of Levaquin. Specifically, the purpose of Defendants' racketeering enterprise included, but was not limited to, reaping large financial gain by willfully and intentionally suppressing material information, through the fraudulent use of the U.S. mails and wires, about the devastating, life threatening, and deadly effects of Levaquin. These Defendants form this association in fact for the common and continuing purpose described herein and constitute an enterprise within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. SS 1961(4) engaged in the conduct of their affairs through a continuing pattern of racketeering activity. As described in the foregoing paragraphs of this Amended Complaint, Defendants, each and every one of them, maintained an ongoing relationship during the course of their ongoing criminal enterprise.

PREDICATE ACTS Bribery in Violation of 18 U.S.C. SS 201, Predicate Act No. 1

From May 2009 to March 2015, Defendants Johnson & Johnson, Johnson & Johnson PRD, and Janssen committed acts constituting indictable offenses under 18 U.S.C. SS 201(b)(1)(A)-(C) in that they directly or indirectly, corruptly gave, and offered and promised things of valuable, such as money, to Defendant Hamburg, who for the purposes of this predicate act was a public official as FDA Commissioner, with the intent to influence Defendant Hamburg to suppress material information about the devastating, life-threatening, and deadly effects of Levaquin. This is evidenced by Defendants Johnson & Johnson, Johnson & Johnson PRD, and Janssen's pattern and practice of using gratuities and bribery to secure favorable treatment for its products, as described in paragraph 40 of this Amended Complaint. 109. Predicate Act No. 19 From May 2009 to March 2015, Defendants Renaissance Technologies, Brown, Mercer, and Simons, in furtherance of the racketeering enterprise and conspiracy, transferred ill-gotten and illegal financial gains from Defendant Renaissance Technologies' holdings of Defendant Johnson & Johnson stock to Defendants in order to continue to carry out Defendants unlawful conspiracy to conceal material information about the devastating and life-threatening effects of Levaquin. As set forth previously, in every quarter except one, from May 2009 to March 2015, while Defendant Hamburg was FDA Commissioner, her husband, Defendant Brown's employer, Defendant Renaissance Technologies, held significant amounts of Defendant Johnson & Johnson stock, including as much as half a billion dollars in Defendant Johnson & Johnson stock.

Nine Meals from Anarchy

Jeff Thomas email: jeff.thomas1066@gmail.com Posted Apr 23, 2016

In 1906, Alfred Henry Lewis stated, “There are only nine meals between mankind and anarchy.” Since then, his observation has been echoed by people as disparate as Robert Heinlein and Leon Trotsky. The key here is that, unlike all other commodities, food is the one essential that cannot be postponed. If there were a shortage of, say, shoes, we could make do for months or even years. A shortage of gasoline would be worse, but we could survive it, through mass transport, or even walking, if necessary. But food is different. If there were an interruption in the supply of food, fear would set in immediately. And, if the resumption of the food supply were uncertain, the fear would become pronounced. After only nine missed meals, it’s not unlikely that we’d panic and be prepared to commit a crime to acquire food. If we were to see our neighbour with a loaf of bread, and we owned a gun, we might well say, “I’m sorry, you’re a good neighbour and we’ve been friends for years, but my children haven’t eaten today – I have to have that bread – even if I have to shoot you.” But surely, there’s no need to speculate on this concern. There’s nothing on the evening news to suggest that such a problem even might be on the horizon. So, let’s have a closer look at the actual food distribution industry, compare it to the present direction of the economy and see whether there might be reason for concern. The food industry typically operates on very small margins – often below 2%. Traditionally wholesalers and retailers have relied on a two-week turnaround of supply and anywhere up to a 30-day payment plan. But an increasing tightening of the economic system for the last eight years has resulted in a turnaround time of just three days for both supply and payment for many in the industry. This a system that’s still fully operative, but with no further wiggle room, should it take a significant further hit. If there was a month where significant inflation took place (say, 3%), all profits would be lost for the month, for both suppliers and retailers, but goods could still be replaced and sold for a higher price next month. But, if there were three or more consecutive months of inflation, the industry would be unable to bridge the gap, even if better conditions were expected to develop in future months. A failure to pay in full for several months would mean smaller orders by those who could not pay. That would mean fewer goods on the shelves. The longer the inflationary trend continued, the more quickly prices would rise to hopefully offset the inflation. And ever-fewer items on the shelves. From Germany in 1922, to Argentina in 2000, to Venezuela in 2016, this has been the pattern, whenever inflation has become systemic, rather than sporadic. Each month, some stores close, beginning with those that are the most poorly-capitalised. In good economic times, this would mean more business for those stores that were still solvent, but, in an inflationary situation, they would be in no position to take on more unprofitable business. The result is that the volume of food on offer at retailers would decrease at a pace with the severity of the inflation. However, the demand for food would not decrease by a single loaf of bread. Store closings would be felt most immediately in inner cities, when one closing would send customers to the next neighbourhood, seeking food. The real danger would come when that store had also closed and both neighbour hoods descended on a third store in yet another neighbourhood. That’s when one loaf of bread for every three potential purchasers would become worth killing over. Virtually no one would tolerate seeing their children go without food because others had “invaded” his local supermarket. In addition to retailers, the entire industry would be impacted and, as retailers disappeared, so would suppliers, and so on, up the food chain. This would not occur in an orderly fashion, or in one specific area. The problem would be a national one. Closures would be all over the map, seemingly at random, affecting all areas. Food riots would take place, first in the inner cities, then spread to other communities. Buyers, fearful of shortages, would clean out the shelves. Importantly, it’s the very unpredictability of food delivery that increases fear, creating panic and violence. And, again, none of the above is speculation; it’s an historical pattern – a reaction based upon human nature whenever systemic inflation occurs. Then…unfortunately… the cavalry arrives At that point it would be very likely that the central government would step in and issue controls to the food industry that served political needs, rather than business needs, greatly exacerbating the problem. Suppliers would be ordered to deliver to those neighbourhoods where the riots were the worst, even if those retailers were unable to pay. This would increase the number of closings of suppliers. Along the way, truckers would begin to refuse to enter troubled neighbourhoods and the military might well be brought in to force deliveries to take place. But, why worry about the above? After all, inflation is contained at present and, although governments fudge the numbers, the present level of inflation is not sufficient to create the above scenario, as it has in so many other countries. So what would it take for the above to occur? Well, historically, it has always begun with excessive debt. We know that the debt level is now the highest it has ever been in world history. In addition, the stock and bond markets are in bubbles of historic proportions. They will most certainly pop, but will that happen in a year? Six months? Next week? With a crash in the markets, deflation always follows, as people try to unload assets to cover for their losses. The Federal Reserve (and other central banks) has stated that it will unquestionably print as much money as it takes to counter deflation. Unfortunately, inflation has a far greater effect on the price of commodities than assets. Therefore, the prices of commodities will rise dramatically, further squeezing the purchasing power of the consumer, thereby decreasing the likelihood that he will buy assets, even if they’re bargain-priced. Therefore, asset-holders will drop their prices repeatedly, as they become more desperate. The Fed then prints more to counter the deeper deflation and we enter a period when deflation and inflation are increasing concurrently. Historically, when this point has been reached, no government has ever done the right thing. They have, instead, done the very opposite – keep printing. A bi-product of this conundrum is reflected in the photo above. Food still exists, but retailers shut down because they cannot pay for goods. Suppliers shut down because they’re not receiving payments from retailers. Producers cut production because sales are plummeting. In every country that has passed through such a period, the government has eventually gotten out of the way, and the free market has prevailed, re-energizing the industry and creating a return to normal. The question is not whether civilization will come to an end. (It will not.) The question is the liveability of a society that is experiencing a food crisis, as even the best of people are likely to panic and become a potential threat to anyone who is known to store a case of soup in his cellar. Fear of starvation is fundamentally different from other fears of shortages. Even good people panic. In such times, it’s advantageous to be living in a rural setting, as far from the centre of panic as possible. It’s also advantageous to store food in advance that will last for several months, if necessary. However, even these measures are no guarantee, as, today, modern highways and efficient cars make it easy for anyone to travel quickly to where the goods are. The ideal is to be prepared to sit out the crisis in a country that will be less likely to be impacted by dramatic inflation – where the likelihood of a food crisis is low and basic safety is more assured.

Continued Financial Market Deterioration Impacts Gold Eagle Sales In A Big Way

Filed in Precious Metals by SRSrocco on April 22, 2016

The financial system is sitting on the edge of a cliff and an increasing number of investors are beginning to realize it. I hear more and more evidence from contacts in the financial and precious metal industry that the U.S. banking industry and Dollar are in serious trouble. While some of individuals believe that the Fed and U.S. Government will continue rigging the markets for the next decade or more, I believe we will witness a financial dislocation or black swan event within the next year. As I have stated in several interviews, I sold my business and left the big city and moved to the country back in the beginning of 2007. I knew the mortgage industry and economy were going to collapse. What I didn’t know was the degree to which the Fed and Central banks could prop up the market. NOTE: If you haven’t checked out our new PRECIOUS METALS INVESTING PAGE, please do. It has been eight years now and the silver bullets have run out. While the Fed and Central Banks will continue to rig the markets as best they can, the amount of debt overhanging the market has become unsustainable. As Central banks push interest rates negative, it just motivates more investors to get into gold and silver. Last week there were several emergency Fed meetings followed by China’s launching of its new gold yuan benchmark this Tuesday. Also, according to Global Research News: China has reportedly decided ”there can be no conversion of gold-backed Yuan to or from US dollars.” What China fears is that many countries around the world will want to trade their reserve US dollars for the new Yuan, leaving China with mountains of worthless US dollars. China already has several trillion in US dollar reserves and does not want or need more. If the news reports that China will not allow a conversion of its new gold-backed Yuan to or from U.S. Dollars, this is indeed serious trouble for the United States Empire. Which is the very reason I believe there were emergency Fed meetings last week. Even though there hasn’t been any major impact via the mainstream media, the ramifications are likely to become public in due time. Gold Eagle Sales Surge 3 Times Higher In April The telltale sign that something isn’t right in the financial industry is a surge in Gold Eagle sales. Last year, total Gold Eagle sales for April equaled 29,500 oz. However, in just the first three weeks of April this year, Gold Eagle sales have reached 87,500. This is three times last years figures and we still have another week remaining in the month: We can see in the chart above, the weekly sales in the second (33,000 oz) and third week (34,000 oz) of April surpassed the total for the month last year. Furthermore, April’s sales so far of 87,500 oz are nearly two-and-a-half times the 38,000 oz sold last month. Now, if we compare total Gold Eagle sales for 2016 versus the same period last year, we have the following result: The U.S. Mint’s Gold Eagle (JAN-APR) sales are 90% higher at 333,000 oz compared to the same period last year of 175,500 oz. If demand for Gold Eagles continues to remain strong for the remainder of the year, we could see total sales exceed 1 million oz. This figure hasn’t been seen since 2011 when total Gold Eagle sales reached 1 million oz.

California; Earthquake Fears Grow! 170 major quakes around the ring of fire since the end of 2014 and not one near California: Is the big one about to hit?

Saturday, 23 April 2016 USGS

A series of powerful earthquakes which struck Asia and South America this month could be followed by a 'mega' quake in the near future, a scientist has claimed. This month could prove to be the deadliest month for quakes since March 2011, when a 9.0 struck Japan, killing at least 20,000 people, causing a massive tsunami, landslides and widespread damage to buildings and infrastructure. Massive quakes this month have already killed hundreds in Japan and Ecuador. But the big question being asked by many experts is when will the big one hit the west coast of the US? The last time a major quake struck California was way back in March, 2014 when a M 6.8 - Struck 78km WNW of Ferndale. By the shear number of major earthquakes which have occurred around the ring of fire recently many experts believe the 'law of averages' would suggest a big one is well overdue for the California area. Below 'A big one is overdue.' There is evidence of sidewalks buckling, along with roads collapsing and landslides in the California area Superstation95 Reports of sidewalks outside of Palm Springs, CA are starting to lift up off the ground as the same force which caused the earthquakes in Ecuador and Japan is now hitting California; pressure from the Pacific Tectonic plate has now begun crushing into the US west coast. Before you say it, NO, there are no tree roots underneath, this buckling took place since yesterday, April 20. See below. And in March, Canyon Road between Lost Creek Road and Vasquez Way, in California, engineers and geologists were examining a road to determine what was causing it to crack and move, he said. The hillside slipped but instead of spilling over the road, it went under the pavement, Frasher said. Now the road is growing upward and expanding. Frasher said there is no way to stop the soil movement, so for now geologists and engineers are just watching the ground and hoping it stops growing. On February 27th an enormous amount of Carbon Monoxide leaked into the atmosphere along the West coast of America. It was the amount of Carbon Monoxide which was simply stunning and led NASA to claim it was a satellite glitch. It led The Big Wobble to ask is the San Andreas Fault about to shift? Unprecedented amounts of Carbon Monoxide released into the atmosphere along the West coast of the US It is well understood that large amounts of Carbon Monoxide is released into the atmosphere before an earthquake, however the amount of Carbon Monoxide release on the 27th of Feb is as far as I can tell unprecedented.

Why US Government And Saudi Arabia Don't Want Americans Knowing The Truth About 9/11

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/22/2016 20:50 -0400

In a rare show of bipartisanship, President Obama and top Republicans in Congress have come together to shield Americans from knowing the truth about who was behind the 9/11 terror attacks, which took the lives of 2996 people in 2001. However strange it is for neoconservative members of Congress to agree with Obama on anything, there is no doubt the issue must be serious if it warrants this level of partnership. The issue at hand is the classified, 28-page section of the 9/11 commission report, which many experts and politicians with knowledge of the documents have said point to Saudi Arabian government officials’ direct role in the terror attacks. This is why the Saudis put out a stern warning several days ago threatening to dump up to $750 billion in U.S. assets if Senate Bill 2040 becomes law; S.B. 2040 would make public the 28 pages and also allow for victims of 9/11 to sue foreign governments found responsible. The Saudis’ warning seems to have worked, with Obama now in the nation to “mend ties” with the monarchy and top Republicans sounding the alarm about the 9/11 bill. In an interview with Charlie Rose, President Obama claimed: “If we open up the possibility that individuals in the United States can routinely start suing other governments, then we are also opening up the United States to being continually sued by individuals in other countries,” apparently referencing the U.S.’ own attacks overseas that have taken the lives of countless civilians. Currently, Saudi Arabia enjoys “sovereign immunity” with the U.S., meaning even if the 28 pages proved Saudi officials were indeed behind the 9/11 attacks, Americans would not be able to seek justice for their losses. The new 9/11 bill would change that, and the Saudi response to the legislation moving through Congress reinforces suspicions the kingdom is somehow behind the 9/11 attacks.

North Korea fires submarine-launched missile: South Korea

By Ju-min Park Reuters April 23, 2016

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile on Saturday off its east coast, South Korea said, amid concerns that the isolated state might conduct a nuclear test or a missile launch ahead of a ruling party meeting in May. The North fired the missile to the northeast from an area off its east coast at about 6:30 p.m. (0930 GMT), the South's office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said. North Korea will hold a congress of its ruling Workers' Party in early May for the first time in 36 years, at which its leader Kim Jong Un is expected to say the country is a strong military power and a nuclear state. The missile flew for about 30 km (18 miles), a South Korean Defence Ministry official said by telephone, adding its military was trying to determine whether the launch may have been a failure for unspecified reasons. South Korea's Yonhap news agency said the missile flew "for a few minutes", citing a government source. The U.S. State Department in Washington said it was aware of reports the North had launched what appeared to be a ballistic missile. "Launches using ballistic missile technology are a clear violation of multiple UN Security Council resolutions," said State Department spokesman John Kirby. The North first attempted a launch of the submarine-based missile last year and was seen to be in the early stages of developing such a weapons system, which could pose a new threat to its neighbors and the United States if it is perfected. However, follow-up test launches were believed to have fallen short of the North's expectations as its state media footage appeared to have been edited to fake success, according experts who have seen the visuals. South Korea's military has said it is on high alert over the possibility that the isolated North could conduct its fifth nuclear test "at any time" in defiance of U.N. sanctions after setting off what it said was a hydrogen device in January. Satellite images show that North Korea may have resumed tunnel excavation at its main nuclear test site, similar to activity seen before the January test, a U.S. North Korea monitoring website reported on Wednesday. South Korea and the United States, as well as experts, believe the North is working to develop a submarine-launched ballistic missile system and an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) putting the mainland United States within range. North Korea is banned from nuclear tests and activities that use ballistic missile technology under U.N. sanctions dating back to 2006 and most recently adopted in March but it has pushed ahead with work to miniaturize a nuclear warhead and develop an ICBM. A senior U.S. official said this week that North Korea should take a lesson from Iran which has agreed to roll back its nuclear program in an agreement with Western powers in return for lifting of major sanctions but the North has shown no sign of entering into such a pact.

Putin: if Turkey's Erdoğan doesn't stop supporting terrorists in Syria, I shall restore Constantinople (Istanbul) to Christendom Top News 16 April 2016

Sat, 16 Apr 2016 (Moscow) – According to state-owned Россия-24 news channel, President Vladimir Putin addressed a delegation of Ukrainian Orthodox Church and reiterated that nothing can shake Russia's perpetual blood alliance with Ukraine in spite of all malicious efforts exerted by the ruling junta in Kiev, adding, " rising neo-Fascism in Ukraine is like the infectious Gangrene which can spread across the European continent , and we, the people of the Russian Federation and descendents of the Soviet Union , we are determined to stop this plague." "Should Turkey not stop supporting al-Qaeda's Syria branch, I am indeed eager to end the job the late Tsar Nicholas II left unfinished. During the World War I , He [Tsar] sought to restore Constantinople (Istanbul) to Christendom and protect Russian maritime security by liberating Dardanelles and Bosphorus straits but fate prevented him," TASS Russian News Agency cited President Putin as saying on Saturday. We also advocate Greek sovereignty over the Cyprus, added Putin, and call the Turkish regime to end its decades-long occupation of this Mediterranean island. Referring to five-year-old Syrian crisis, Mr. Putin launched a scathing attack on Turkish president's dreadful dreams of breathing life into dead Ottoman Empire by supporting al-Qaeda terrorists in Syria and Iraq, saying prospects for a lasting cease-fire in Syria remains doubtful due to Ankara's war-like agenda and its vicious alliance with Saudi Arabia.

Obama announces an additional 250 special operations forces to Syria

By Barbara Starr and Kevin Liptak, CNN Updated 6:51 AM ET, Mon April 25, 2016

(CNN) President Barack Obama announced Monday an additional 250 special operations forces will be sent to Syria in the coming weeks in a speech in Hannover, Germany, in an effort to stem the influence and spread of ISIS. "Just as I approved additional support for Iraqi forces against ISIL, I've decided to increase U.S. support for local forces fighting ISIL in Syria, a small number of special operations forces are already on the ground in Syria and their expertise has been critical as local forces have driven ISIL out of key areas," Obama said, using another acronym for the jihadist group. "So given their success I've approved the deployment of up to 250 additional U.S. personnel in Syria including special forces to keep up this momentum," he said. Special forces Obama stressed that U.S. troops will not be leading the fight on the ground but they will be essential in training and assisting local forces. "So make no mistake these terrorists will learn the same lesson as others before them have, which is 'your hatred is no match for our nations united in the defense of our way of life,' " he said, adding that the increase would bring the number of U.S. special forces in the country to as many as 300 troops, including special forces. But the President said he would continue to pursue diplomatic solutions to ending the Syrian civil war. "Just as we remain relentless on the military front we're not going to give up on diplomacy to end the civil war in Syria because the suffering of the people in Syria has to end and that requires an effective political transition," he said. Supporting Syrian allies The troops will be expanding the ongoing U.S. effort to bring more Syrian Arab fighters into units the U.S. supports in northern Syria that have largely been manned by the Kurds, an official told CNN earlier. The plan calls for the additional U.S. forces to "advise and assist" forces in the area whom the U.S. hopes may eventually grow strong enough to take back territory around Raqqa, Syria, where ISIS is based. These troops are not expected to engage in combat operations or to participate in target-to-kill teams but will be armed to defend themselves, one official said. "As we have noted in recent days, the President has authorized a series of steps to increase support for our partners in the region, including Iraqi security forces as well as local Syrian forces who are taking the fight to ISIL," a senior administration official CNN. "The President during his remarks at the Hannover Messe fairgrounds on Monday will speak to this additional step." The official said the President was persuaded to take this additional step because of recent successes against ISIS. CNN first reported details of the expected plan several weeks ago.

Ruined Chernobyl nuclear plant will remain a threat for 3,000 years

April 24, 2016 2:00 AM By Matthew Schofield mschofield@mcclatchydc.com

PRIPYAT, Ukraine Before the fire, the vomiting, the deaths and the vanishing home, it was the promise of bumper cars that captured the imagination of the boys. It will be 30 years ago Tuesday that Pripyat and the nearby Chernobyl nuclear plant became synonymous with nuclear disaster, that the word Chernobyl came to mean more than just a little village in rural Ukraine, and this place became more than just another spot in the shadowy Soviet Union. Even 30 years later – 25 years after the country that built it ceased to exist – the full damage of that day is still argued. Death toll estimates run from hundreds to millions. The area near the reactor is both a teeming wildlife refuge and an irradiated ghost-scape. Much of eastern and central Europe continues to deal with fallout aftermath. The infamous Reactor Number 4 remains a problem that is neither solved nor solvable.

Who You Are in the Fire Is Who You Really Are

11:00AM EDT 4/23/2016 Lisa Bevere

I don't really like this truth, but here it is: Who you are in the fire is who you are. I want to imagine that who I am on television is the true representation of who I am. I like the edited version of me. I like how I look after an hour with a makeup artist and someone who actually knows how to style my hair. I like kind lighting and a controlled set. But none of these dynamics reveal my hidden flaws. Those usually come out when some area of my life is crossed. This reminds me of something God spoke through the prophet Isaiah: "See, I have refined you, but not with silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction" (Is. 48:10, MEV). I would have loved it if God had rephrased some of this. "I have tested you in the sauna of the spa experience," for example, would have been nice. In the book of Esther, we read: "Before a girl's turn came to go in to King Xerxes, she had to complete twelve months of beauty treatments" (2:12, NIV). I have told my husband he would have an Esther too if I could go through a year's worth of beauty treatments. But alas, just like Esther, we are not defined by who we are in the spa. We are defined by who we are in the fire. Many years ago, I was given a portion of an amethyst geode. The outside is gnarled and rusty. Looking at it, you would never guess that it encases pristine purple crystal formations. Nothing on the outside of the geode betrays even a hint of the beauty on the inside. The outside tells the story of the heat and the pressure, but the inside reveals what beauty has been born of this encounter with fire. Most gemstones are mined. This means they are forged in a hidden environment of pressure before they are ever unearthed and brought into the light. In the same way, you and I hold much beauty and worth. But we must be willing to face some heat in order to allow the treasure inside to come through. There is something of beauty to be learned from every dark and lonely place in our lives. It is in those times of obedience during suffering that we have an opportunity to experience our Father as more than enough. Out of the rough material of our trials, He is more than willing to fashion objects of beauty. The Bible tells us that Jesus endured the cross for the joy set before Him. In our trials, large or small, it is crucial that we allow joy to be set before us. Are you facing some pressure today? Do you believe God is ready to take the pain and frustration and make it an object of beauty? If so, let's pray together. "Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. By the power of Your Holy Spirit, I ask You to take the rocks in my life and make them objects of beauty. Have Your way, Father. Purify me and bring forth what is precious with Your holy fire. Give me Your eyes to see and the faith to receive Your promise of beauty and strength in every season. In Jesus's name, amen."

Your One Way Ticket To The Red List - Government Software 'Ranking' Social Media Users As Law Enforcement Uses Programs To Calculate Your 'Threat Score'

April 24, 2016 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

For social media users, platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and others are online sites to stay in touch with family, friends, share pictures and news, meet and talk to people around the world, but to the U.S. government it is a place to collect and store information about users and to "rank" them and determine which "list" those users belong on.... the Red, the Blue or the Green. Over twenty ago Steve Quayle shared information he was given by a high ranking government agency head who has since passed on, about the U.S. government putting citizens on lists with those slated for the "Red list" being people which were deemed as "enemies of globalism" and marked for termination. Red listers are the people that would not comply to a complete police state, would not give up their weapons, would lead a rebellion.... people like our nation's veterans, gun owners, constitutionalists, preppers, survivalists, all people that the Obama administration has publicly targeted as "extremists", calling them "dangerous," and associating them with potential "domestic" terrorism. We're also reminded by Quayle that his source had also told him others were on that Red list in the form of the "Curative Process," where the "weak, elderly and infirmed," would be systematically destroyed, along with doctors and nurses as vaccines were made mandatory (which we see 20 years after he revealed this, states are implementing mandatory vaccines) and that much of the EPA's "toxic waste incinerator" funds were being diverted to create huge crematoriums to dispose of over 100 million bodies, with Steve stating "Guess we know who is considered toxic waste!" PREDICTIVE CRIME PREVENTION AND RANKING BEGINS To this day there are many that consider the "red list" a conspiracy theory, but what they will see below proves without a doubt that the red list exists and how social media users themselves are now creating their own files, building their own dossiers for the government with every tweet, like, share, email, discussion and "private" chat they participate in, and it is those dossiers that will ultimately determine which list they are on.... or in their terminology, how they are "ranked." Following a link a reader left this morning back to its original source, opened up a Pandora's Box of information regarding the extent of surveillance the U.S. government is conducting on its citizens and what that information is being used for. Law enforcement is creating fake social media accounts in order to build relationships to monitor friends, events, and to gather information "about suspects they consider a high risk of being involved in a future crime," as part of their "Predictive Crime Prevention" program. In a social media guide for law enforcement officials published by the Justice Department, the document details, officers create fraudulent profiles even though Facebook officially bans the practice. It is noteworthy that while Facebook bans that practice for their users, they exclude law enforcement from that particular rule, as we also see that Facebook actively works with law enforcement by monitoring and scanning private messages and photos, then reports anything they consider suspicious, leading the website American Intelligence to make the following point: Facebook most likely wants to keep this software secret since most people do not think fondly of someone rummaging around their private messages and photos looking for criminal activities. Also how far is this system willing to go and will they soon pursue minor crimes or even thought crime? Great question, but I would add others such as, what are the qualifications of the Facebook employee the software notifies to determine whether a random comment is suspicious? How many of the users supposedly "private" conversations are then gone through? Where are the morals and ethics in any company offering "private" messaging and then invading those messages that are supposed to private? Related: Police are Creating Fake Accounts on Facebook So They Can Monitor You, How to Identify a Fake Account There is no privacy online, even Google makes it a practice to scan your emails or as they phrase it in their TOS, "automated systems analyse your content," but the invasion of privacy is not the worst of what is being done to users. On April 14, 2016 American Intelligence reported that the U.S. government is now soliciting bids for a "citizen ranking program," that will "monitor information on social networks in real time and even contact users." The Orwellian system will report on “sentiment analysis,” “influence identification,” will have “access to historical Twitter data,” - “ability to detect sarcasm,” and “heat maps,” portraying user trends by color intensity according to government documents." Heat maps portraying user trends by color intensity..... kind of makes you wonder if those "heat maps" are using the colors Red, Blue and Green, doesn't it? Government Solicitation for the program shown below: etc.. For anyone that doubts the "red list" exists and that social media users are buying a one ticket to the red list, the following quote from a January Washington Post article should be an eye-opener. The headline reads "The new way police are surveilling you: Calculating your threat ‘score’:" The program scoured billions of data points, including arrest reports, property records, commercial databases, deep Web searches and the man’s social- media postings. It calculated his threat level as the highest of three color-coded scores: a bright red warning. Does anyone doubt for one second that if states' law enforcement is using these programs that will calculate your "threat risk" based on data obtained from your Internet usage, including postings on social media sites such as Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, Snapchat, LinkedIn, and Instagram, that the U.S. government is collecting that same data, utilizing the same programs, and using those scores to determine just what "list" you belong on?

If Elected, Hitlery Is Going For Americans Guns While Enabling ISIS To Slaughter The American People - Shocking 'Game Changer' May Alter Course Of US Politics In 2016

April 24, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

With the ranks of the ISIS terrorists that want to kill us growing more numerous every day as shared in the 2nd video below and Barack Obama continuously allowing unvetted Muslims into the country who may only be here to slaughter us, we take a look within this story at some recent statements made by Chelsea Clinton about deceased Justice Antonin Scalia that help to prove that if Hitlery Clinton is (s) elected for the White House in November, the 'gun-grabbing agenda' of the United Nations will be kicked into high gear. We also take a look below at a quite interesting story from the Conservative Tribune that shows a true 'American Revolution' may be brewing for late 2016 that is a 'game changer' and may be a huge shock to the entire system, especially the rapidly-crumbling establishment. The story on The Gateway Pundit tells us that while campaigning for her mother recently, Chelsea Clinton admitted that the recent death of US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia will pave the way for greater gun control in the US originating at the US Supreme Court level. As Jim Hoft tells us: "The left is coming after your guns. This is not a conspiracy. They're actually saying it." So, why would Hitlery attempt to take away Americans best defense against the terrorists who want to slaughter us that Obama is allowing into the country in mass numbers every day? From Chelsea Clinton herself.: “It matters to me that my mom also recognizes the role the Supreme Court has when it comes to gun control. With Justice Scalia on the bench, one of the few areas where the Court actually had an inconsistent record relates to gun control,” Clinton said. “Sometimes the Court upheld local and state gun control measures as being compliant with the Second Amendment and sometimes the Court struck them down.” As we're told, Clinton then touted her mother’s record on gun control issues and knowledge that the Supreme Court has an effect on whether many gun control laws stand. Hillary herself recently said "Amen" when asked if she'd use executive orders on gun control as heard in the final video below. We have to ask, why would ANYONE say "Amen" to enabling the possibility of Americans being slaughtered by ISIS terrorists 'en masse'? Why would Clinton want to disarm Americans when ISIS terrorists are being allowed into the country, unvetted and 'en masse'? Is this more proof that Hitlery is another globalist who HATES AMERICANS and wants us all slaughtered? Even former New York city mayor Rudy Giuliani recently stated that Hitlery should be considered a 'founding member of ISIS'. Why would Americans even dream about (s)electing this evil witch who clearly hates our country? Americans, even many Democrats, are awakening to the Clinton globalists every day and as we hear in the 3rd video below from Gary Franchi and the Next News Network, the Donald Trump camp has recently received a shocking message from the Bernie Sanders camp that is a game changer if Americans are able to finally banish the Clinton/Obama/Neocon globalists who have been working for many years to destroy our country and national sovereignty. The story from Huffington Post tells us that Hitlery better not expect all Democrats to vote for her. The poll taken on AOL (seen in screenshot above) proves to us that huge numbers of Bernie Sanders voters will gravitate to Donald Trump to vote for him rather than voting for evil-witch Hitlery. Is America finally prepared to overcome the two-party dictatorship that has been ruling over our country and enslaving us for many years and threatens to completely destroy us while pushing in a global government dictatorship? Surely those numbers mean a great deal. The fact that 'senior Republicans' and Neocons such as Lindsey Graham and Reince Priebus have stated that they would rather vote for globalist Hitlery than the Republican nominee if Trump truly tells us everything that we need to know about much of the Republican establishment; they'd rather support Hitlery and clearly hate America and Americans while prefering globalism and a 'new world order' while looking at America as a nation of 'has-been'. Anybody who would willingly put millions of Americans at risk by allowing the terrorists who want to slaughter us into the country while taking away our best means to defends ourselves against said terrorists doesn't deserve the opportunity to be in the highest office in the land in this country. Anybody who compares police officers and whites with ISIS terrorists who seek out Americans and Christians to slaughter 'en masse' as Hitlery recently did should be nowhere near the White House or any other public office in our own humble opinion. Will Hitlery Clinton and the neocons be able to hold onto total control of US politics for another 4 years? As Franchi and the NNN tell us in the 1st video below, Donald Trump has just dropped a 'jaw dropping threat' upon Hitlery that is leaving everyone on the edge of their seats. Will this spell the end of the globalists who have been working to destory America?

The Criminals Who Support Hillary Clinton

In the aftermath of Benghazi combined with Aaron Klein’s revelations that some of the illegal Clinton emails were transmitting his location prior to his death, should we not question the wisdom of anyone who would support Clinton’s run for the Presidency? And when we look all of the other criminal activities by this sociopath, shouldn’t we question the sanity and character of anyone who would support Clinton in this critical time in the history country? The following is a partial list of Clinton supporters and this small, but representative sample size of Clinton supporters should make America realize that stopping her run for the Presidency is as important, if not more so, than it is to get Donald Trump elected. So, just who supports Hillary? #1 The Criminal Federal Reserve Supports Hillary Clinton Despite the fact that the Federal Reserve state that all of their decisions are free from political influences, Hillary Clinton has been the recipient of several donations from a well-known and top Federal Reserve official. For nine years, at a time when Lael Brainard was at the Brookings Institution, she has made donations to Hillary. Moving forward to 2014, after serving as a senior official at the US Treasury Department, Brainard was appointed to the Washington-based Federal Reserve’s board of governors, yet Brainard continued her support despite the overt policy of the Federal Reserve Board to remain aloof from politics. #2 Virginia Governor, Terry McAuliffe and his Merry Band of 200,000 ex-cons Support Hillary Virginia Governor, Terry McAuliffe (D), who, according to The Washington Post is reporting that on April 22, 2016, signed an executive order enabling more than 200,000 ex-cons who have completed their sentences and have been released from supervised probation or parole, to register to vote in the upcoming presidential election. McAuliffe has previously reinstated 18,000 nonviolent felons who have previously had their voting rights terminated. Now, McAuliffe’s latest executive order reinstates voting rights to all violent felons. The reinstated rights even apply to felons convicted in another state prior to moving to Virginia. McAuliffe’s Executive Order is clearly intended to benefit Democrats and Hillary Clinton. The strongest demographic supporting Clinton are African Americans. In Virginia, 25% of African Americans have been permanently banned from voting because they’re convicted felons. To leave no doubt as to the motivation behind this Executive Order, McAuliffe is a close and personal friend of Hillary. McAuliffe recently raised $2 million at their McLean home for the Clinton Foundation. #3 Gilbert Chagoury, the Front Man for Boko Haram Some information needs no elaboration. Consider the two following tweets in order to accurately assess the content of the character of the man who donated $5 million to the Clinton campaign. Barracuda Brigade @ArcticFox2016 6 Aug 2015 Boko Haram Slits the Throats of Sixteen Christian Fishermen – BB4SP http://owl.li/QymM3 John Burtis@jburtis @ArcticFox2016 Call Hillary, Gilbert Chagoury, the front man for Boko Haram, donated $ 5 million to The Clinton Fund! #4 Vladimir Putin and the Russian Government/Military Go to the youtube channel owned by dutchsinse. He makes a very compelling case that several ranches, not just Bundy’s and Hammond’s have been under assault in order to procure precious metals. In the following youtube video, dutchsinse asks the following question:“Let’s just call it what it is. Human greed is at stake here. Who is going to get the gold back there in the back country? Who is going to get the uranium?” One of the big problems in America today is that “public servants” like Hillary Clinton actually represent a foreign enemy masquerading as a domestic public servant. I will go one step further than Donald Trump’s assertion that Clinton is a criminal and state that Hillary Clinton is this generation’s Ethel Rosenberg and has committed heinous acts of treason against the people of the United States. Hillary Clinton, the Ethel Rosenberg of her generation. Clinton sold uranium to the Russians while serving as the Secretary of State and this is what both the Bundy and the Hammond Ranch Affair is all about. A former key member of the Obama administration and current Presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, has proven herself to be the Ethel Rosenberg of her generation. You may recall your U.S. history as Ethel Rosenberg sold nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War. In an act every bit as egregious as Ethel Rosenberg’s treason, Hillary Clinton sold uranium to the Russians while serving as the Secretary of State. Ironically, the original source on this treasonous act committed by Clinton was none other than the liberal rag we call the New York Times. The proof is undeniable that Hillary Clinton committed the treasonous act of selling uranium to the Russians while Secretary of State, as reported in the New York Times. The Russian blood money, as reported, is being held in an offshore account and is From the New York Times…. “A Uranium One sign that points to a 35,000 acre ranch by John Christensen, near the town of Gillette, Wyoming. Uranium One has the mining rights Mr. Christensen’s property.” This is proof of more BLM chicanery which will involve multiple BLM ranches. The New York Times further asserts that members of the Canadian mining industry, who have supported Clinton’s campaign, financed and sold off to the Russians a company known as Uranium One. Uranium One is directly responsible for transferring uranium from BLM land to the Russians through an off-shore holding company. Again, according to the NY Times, the Russians, through three separate transactions, acquired Uranium One, while paying off the Clintons and their Canadian partners from 2009-2013. The business deal also involved paying Bill Clinton $500,000 dollars for a speech on energy which was delivered in Moscow. How Does Clinton Stay Out of Prison? While appearing on the Today show, Clinton was asked by Matt Lauer, “They are clinging to the hope that the way they will be able to deal with that, is that at some point between now and the election… that they will get to see Hillary Clinton in handcuffs… that there will be some kind of political perp walk based on your private email server.” being used to fund her run for the Presidency.  This was her response: Hillary has low friends in high places that keep her out of prison. How can she be so sure that she is not going to prison? Attorney General Loretta Lynch, the defender of government criminals everywhere. As the Attorney General, Lorett,a Lynch should be convening a Grand Jury. She will not do so. Conclusion To the Trump supporters, we need to spend a significant number of time and effort in dethroning the heir apparent to the Presidency. A Clinton Presidency would be worse for America, more so, than even the benefit of a Trump Presidency. Hillary Clinton is the most clear and present danger people to the United States.

COLUMN: Minimum wage or maximum deception?

Updated Yesterday

Every April for the past three years, I have devoted a column to debunking the phony statistics and false economics behind the liberal assault on reality called Equal Pay Day. Naturally, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have not read my analysis, and they are apparently not smart enough to do their own, so they continue to pander to far-left voters by implying that businesses are intentionally short-changing their women employees by paying them 77 percent of what they pay men for the same job. OK, don’t get me started! I REALLY don’t want to write another column about this nonsense, but if you do a Google search for “Equal Pay Day Inter Lake,” the top results will be my columns from 2013, 2014 and 2015 debunking the wage gap myth. Read them and weep for our uneducated electorate. It is a pity that voters are so easily swayed by phony feel-good rhetoric when cold hard facts are bouncing off their impenetrable skulls like snowballs off an armored vehicle. It appears that our Founding Fathers were right that the republic could only survive and thrive if the public was educated and informed. As Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1816, “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” But, unfortunately, that is just the situation we find ourselves in. Our leaders encourage us to be ignorant, and our ignorance leads way too many of us to think we are free even though we are being led over a cliff. After all, it feels good to demand “equal pay.” It “enriches” you to threaten the “1 percent.” It “empowers” you to shut down free speech you disagree with. It makes you feel superbly self-righteous to call other people “haters,” “racists” and “Islamophobes” because they are seeking to protect their jobs, their families and their country. One of the favorite epithets used against Donald Trump is “demagogue,” and in one sense he is. In ancient Greece, a demagogue was an orator who espoused the cause of the common people. So yes, in that sense, Trump is a demagogue, and a proud one. While most national leaders are lining their pockets or pushing their personal agenda, Trump is actually listening to the voice of the common people and thus reflecting back “common sense.” But the truly dangerous demagogues are the ones who try to get the public to walk over the cliff by misleading them. Pay gap? Oooh, sounds horrible! We must change it... College tuition too high? Oooh, those bad colleges! They should provide free education for everyone! Stuck in a job with minimum wage? Oooh, it’s the fault of those horrible businesses that are trying to make a profit! How dare they! Let’s consider that demand for a “livable” minimum wage as one example of government gone amok. City after city and state after state seem to be moving toward forcing employers to offer a $15 minimum wage because, well, because it sounds good to people who are making $10 an hour. But just whose fault is it that employers are only paying $10 an hour? This is not hard to figure out if you took even a high school class in economics. There is a little something called “supply and demand.” If there are not enough laborers in a particular field to do the job offered by employers, then those laborers find themselves in demand, allowing them to hold out for bigger paychecks. This is common in skilled positions such as oil-rig workers, nurses, engineers. By the same token, however, if there are too many workers available in a certain field, employers will find that they can fill jobs more cheaply because if one employee quits who doesn’t like the wage, he or she can be replaced with a dozen other workers who will be happy to have any work at all. The minimum-wage laws basically short-circuit all of this and mandate that employers should, in some cases, pay more than they need to but never less than they need to. This is an upward pressure on the cost of doing business, and ultimately has to result in one of three outcomes: 1) a smaller profit for the business owner; 2) higher prices for customers in order to keep profits at the same level; or 3) some combination of higher prices and smaller profits that forces the company out of business altogether. Of course, Bernie Sanders and the other people who pretend that businesses are intentionally paying women less than they pay men out of pure villainousness also argue that businesses are intentionally paying employees less than they deserve because they are money-grubbing scoundrels. What is particularly ironic about this whole charade is that it is plainly apparent that the very same liberal Democrats such as Clinton and President Obama who want to increase the minimum wage are most responsible for the minimum wage remaining artificially low. What? How’s that? Let’s go back to that fundamental economic principle called “supply and demand.” Wages are not low because the government failed to raise the “minimum wage” by mandate, but low because there is a fundamental excess of labor in the United States. Why? Well, I’m sorry, but the easiest way to find the answer is to ask a businessman — let’s say, Donald Trump. The two main planks in Trump’s economic platform are bad trade deals and illegal immigration, and those are also the simple explanation for the decades-long downward pressure on wages that has been experienced at the lower end of the economy. By turning a blind eye to more than 10 million illegal immigrants in our country (probably closer to 20 million), the government has essentially green-lighted low wages. If those 10 million or more people were deported (or just prevented from working by forcing employers to use e-Verify), then suddenly businesses would have millions of jobs that were unfilled. Companies desperate to get people to do everything from emptying the trash to flipping burgers and doing yardwork would suddenly find themselves paying employees more (a lot more) not because of a government law, but because of a natural law — the law of supply and demand. And to add to the mess, while the supply of labor has greatly increased due to government malfeasance, the demand for labor has greatly diminished due to the same “stupid” (to quote Trump) leaders who have exported our jobs to China and Mexico. Ross Perot famously told the American people in 1992 when he was fighting against the North American Free Trade Agreement that “the giant sucking sound” you hear is U.S. jobs going to Mexico. He was right. By agreeing to eliminate protections for American businesses, the United States has exported hundreds of thousands of jobs to Mexico. Now, President Obama is on the verge of doubling down on the problem by implementing the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which will make it easier for multi-national corporations to ship jobs overseas to countries like Japan, Vietnam, Chile and Malaysia. U.S. manufacturing is already decimated, and TPP will be the coup de grace. Ford, Nabisco and Carrier will be joined by hundreds of other corporations in telling their U.S. employees “thanks for the memories” while packing up and taking advantage of cheap labor overseas. It’s a recipe for economic disaster: More workers plus fewer jobs equals a declining labor market that results in lower wages. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand this, but it certainly helps if you aren’t a self-serving politician. What’s interesting is that Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have combined across party lines to fight TPP, joined belatedly by Hillary Clinton. Meanwhile Republicans John Kasich and to a lesser extent Ted Cruz have worked with Obama to make the trade deal a likelihood. But the majority of Congress along with President Obama seem bound and determined to give the globalists what they want and leave U.S. workers fighting for those few jobs that are left. The problem isn’t the minimum wage; it’s the maximum deception practiced by our government in cahoots with multinational corporations to rig the system for their own benefit. If you want your high-paying jobs back, end illegal immigration and bad trade deals. Anything else is political pandering to make you feel better just before the lights go out.

Gerald Celente – China Stock Market Crash To Create Full-Blown Global Panic, But Gold Will Shine

April 24, 2016

Today the top trends forecaster in the world told King World News that China’s stock market crash will crash along with their economy and this will create a full-blown global panic, but gold will shine. Gerald Celente: “George Soros came out earlier in the week warning about the Chinese debt bubble, which is estimated now to be at about $30 trillion, up from $500 billion twenty years ago… In Volatile Markets, Is Wealth Preservation King? In a King World News interview I spoke with the man who predicted the Swiss National Bank would experience staggering losses and that the Fed would also experience massive losses that will destabilize the global financial system! His company is the only one in the world offering a precious metals investment service outside the banking system, with direct ownership and full control by the investor. He has also become legendary for his predictions on QE, historic moves in currencies, and major global events. To find out what he and his company can do to help answer that age old question for you CLICK HERE. Gerald Celente continues: “Soros said: “Stimulus can buy you additional time, but it makes the problem that much bigger. That’s where we are.” So when they talk about China’s growth now at 6.7 percent, they leave out the fact that the Chinese banks pumped in some $212 billion in new local currency loans in March. There was also the social financing of another $360 billion in the month of March. Crash And Full-Blown Panic In China China’s central bank just continues to stimulate the economy in order to aid its slowing growth. This isn’t a recovery in China, it’s a coverup. They are covering it up with cheap money. So when you here a guy like Soros coming out and warning that there is going to be a crash in China, and you put together the pieces, it’s more like a (full-blown) panic.” Eric King: “Let’s talk about China’s new gold fix because Andrew Maguire told KWN that is China checkmating the West, and there is now enormous pressure building for a reset in the gold price. Your thoughts on gold.” Gerald Celente: “Here is a quote from Roland Wang, who is the managing director for China at the World Gold Council: “China needs a gold benchmark that reflects local market flows, and reduces gold prices dependency on the U.S. dollar. An Asian focused yuan denominated (gold) benchmark will significantly increase the liquidity and efficiency of the gold price discovery mechanism.” Now let’s get this straight, this whole game was rigged back in 1919 by the Rothschilds when they put a group together to sit down and calculate the fair value of gold. You can’t make this stuff up. You’ve got a bunch of guys rigging the markets. You know what happened last week. Gold was up $17 and then all the sudden the price of gold plunged into negative territory. And what did they estimate, some $2 billion of naked shorts? Banksters Guilty Of Rigging Markets Six banks were convicted of felonies for rigging the markets, and these little clowns at the Financial Times come out and say, ‘Oh, they got one guy for rigging the gold market.’ The gold market is rigged because policies of the central banks have failed. So by bringing the gold benchmark to China, with China being the largest buyer of gold, they are going to take it out of the hands of the Europeans and the United States, who are rigging the markets with their central bank games. Meanwhile, the U.S. is using the equity markets as a coverup to make the people believe that things are just fine as the economy is collapsing underneath them. Now with China getting their hands on the gold, when gold prices go up much higher, people are going to recognize the real…To continue listening to the fascinating KWN audio interview with Gerald Celente CLICK HERE OR ON THE IMAGE BELOW.

Get ready — World War Three Has Already Begun

The propaganda war against Russia and China has already started, John Pilger points out. The US and its Nato allies are spoiling for a fight and tensions are escalating. It’s only a matter of time before the bombs begin to fall. I have been filming in the Marshall Islands, which lie north of Australia, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Whenever I tell people where I have been, they ask, “Where is that?” If I offer a clue by referring to “Bikini”, they say, “You mean the swimsuit.” Few seem aware that the bikini swimsuit was named to celebrate the nuclear explosions that destroyed Bikini island. Sixty-six nuclear devices were exploded by the United States in the Marshall Islands between 1946 and 1958 — the equivalent of 1.6 Hiroshima bombs every day for twelve years. Bikini is silent today, mutated and contaminated. Palm trees grow in a strange grid formation. Nothing moves. There are no birds. The headstones in the old cemetery are alive with radiation. My shoes registered “unsafe” on a Geiger counter. Standing on the beach, I watched the emerald green of the Pacific fall away into a vast black hole. This was the crater left by the hydrogen bomb they called “Bravo”. The explosion poisoned people and their environment for hundreds of miles, perhaps forever. On my return journey, I stopped at Honolulu airport and noticed an American magazine called Women’s Health. On the cover was a smiling woman in a bikini swimsuit, and the headline: “You, too, can have a bikini body.” A few days earlier, in the Marshall Islands, I had interviewed women who had very different “bikini bodies”; each had suffered thyroid cancer and other life-threatening cancers. Unlike the smiling woman in the magazine, all of them were impoverished: the victims and guinea pigs of a rapacious superpower that is today more dangerous than ever. I relate this experience as a warning and to interrupt a distraction that has consumed so many of us. The founder of modern propaganda, Edward Bernays, described this phenomenon as “the conscious and intelligent manipulation of the habits and opinions” of democratic societies. He called it an “invisible government”. How many people are aware that a world war has begun? At present, it is a war of propaganda, of lies and distraction, but this can change instantaneously with the first mistaken order, the first missile. In 2009, President Obama stood before an adoring crowd in the centre of Prague, in the heart of Europe. He pledged himself to make “the world free from nuclear weapons”. People cheered and some cried. A torrent of platitudes flowed from the media. Obama was subsequently awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. It was all fake. He was lying. The Obama administration has built more nuclear weapons, more nuclear warheads, more nuclear delivery systems, more nuclear factories. Nuclear warhead spending alone rose higher under Obama than under any American president. The cost over thirty years is more than $1 trillion. A mini nuclear bomb is planned. It is known as the B61 Model 12. There has never been anything like it. General James Cartwright, a former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has said, “Going smaller [makes using this nuclear] weapon more thinkable.” In the last eighteen months, the greatest build-up of military forces since World War Two — led by the United States — is taking place along Russia’s western frontier. Not since Hitler invaded the Soviet Union have foreign troops presented such a demonstrable threat to Russia. Ukraine — once part of the Soviet Union — has become a CIA theme park. Having orchestrated a coup in Kiev, Washington effectively controls a regime that is next door and hostile to Russia: a regime rotten with Nazis, literally. Prominent parliamentary figures in Ukraine are the political descendants of the notorious OUN and UPA fascists. They openly praise Hitler and call for the persecution and expulsion of the Russian speaking minority. This is seldom news in the West, or it is inverted to suppress the truth. In Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia — next door to Russia — the US military is deploying combat troops, tanks, heavy weapons. This extreme provocation of the world’s second nuclear power is met with silence in the West. What makes the prospect of nuclear war even more dangerous is a parallel campaign against China. Seldom a day passes when China is not elevated to the status of a “threat”. According to Admiral Harry Harris, the US Pacific commander, China is “building a great wall of sand in the South China Sea”. What he is referring to is China building airstrips in the Spratly Islands, which are the subject of a dispute with the Philippines – a dispute without priority until Washington pressured and bribed the government in Manila and the Pentagon launched a propaganda campaign called “freedom of navigation”. What does this really mean? It means freedom for American warships to patrol and dominate the coastal waters of China. Try to imagine the American reaction if Chinese warships did the same off the coast of California. I made a film called The War You Don’t See, in which I interviewed distinguished journalists in America and Britain: reporters such as Dan Rather of CBS, Rageh Omar of the BBC, David Rose of the Observer. All of them said that had journalists and broadcasters done their job and questioned the propaganda that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction; had the lies of George W. Bush and Tony Blair not been amplified and echoed by journalists, the 2003 invasion of Iraq might not have happened, and hundreds of thousands of men, women and children would be alive today. The propaganda laying the ground for a war against Russia and/or China is no different in principle. To my knowledge, no journalist in the Western “mainstream” — a Dan Rather equivalent, say — asks why China is building airstrips in the South China Sea. The answer ought to be glaringly obvious. The United States is encircling China with a network of bases, with ballistic missiles, battle groups, nuclear -armed bombers. This lethal arc extends from Australia to the islands of the Pacific, the Marianas and the Marshalls and Guam, to the Philippines, Thailand, Okinawa, Korea and across Eurasia to Afghanistan and India. America has hung a noose around the neck of China. This is not news. Silence by media; war by media. In 2015, in high secrecy, the US and Australia staged the biggest single air-sea military exercise in recent history, known as Talisman Sabre. Its aim was to rehearse an Air-Sea Battle Plan, blocking sea lanes, such as the Straits of Malacca and the Lombok Straits, that cut off China’s access to oil, gas and other vital raw materials from the Middle East and Africa. In the circus known as the American presidential campaign, Donald Trump is being presented as a lunatic, a fascist. He is certainly odious; but he is also a media hate figure. That alone should arouse our skepticism. Trump’s views on migration are grotesque, but no more grotesque than those of David Cameron. It is not Trump who is the Great Deporter from the United States, but the Nobel Peace Prize winner, Barack Obama. According to one prodigious liberal commentator, Trump is “unleashing the dark forces of violence” in the United States. Unleashing them? This is the country where toddlers shoot their mothers and the police wage a murderous war against black Americans. This is the country that has attacked and sought to overthrow more than 50 governments, many of them democracies, and bombed from Asia to the Middle East, causing the deaths and dispossession of millions of people. No country can equal this systemic record of violence. Most of America’s wars (almost all of them against defenceless countries) have been launched not by Republican presidents but by liberal Democrats: Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Clinton, Obama. In 1947, a series of National Security Council directives described the paramount aim of American foreign policy as “a world substantially made over in [America’s] own image”. The ideology was messianic Americanism. We were all Americans. Or else. Heretics would be converted, subverted, bribed, smeared or crushed. Donald Trump is a symptom of this, but he is also a maverick. He says the invasion of Iraq was a crime; he doesn’t want to go to war with Russia and China. The danger to the rest of us is not Trump but demon dyke Hillary Clinton She is no maverick. She embodies the resilience and violence of a system whose vaunted “exceptionalism” is totalitarian with an occasional liberal face. As presidential election day draws near, Clinton will be hailed as the first female president, regardless of her crimes and lies — just as Barack Obama was lauded as the first black president and liberals swallowed his nonsense about “hope”. And the drool goes on. Described by the Guardian columnist Owen Jones as “funny, charming, with a coolness that eludes practically every other politician”, Obama the other day sent drones to slaughter 150 people in Somalia. He kills people usually on Tuesdays, according to the New York Times, when he is handed a list of candidates for death by drone. So cool. In the 2008 presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton threatened to “totally obliterate” Iran with nuclear weapons. As Secretary of State under Obama, she participated in the overthrow of the democratic government of Honduras. Her contribution to the destruction of Libya in 2011 was almost gleeful. When the Libyan leader, Colonel Gaddafi, was publicly sodomised with a knife – a murder made possible by American logistics – Clinton gloated over his death: “We came, we saw, he died.” One of Clinton’s closest allies is Madeleine Albright, the former secretary of State, who has attacked young women for not supporting “Hillary”. This is the same Madeleine Albright who infamously celebrated on TV the death of half a million Iraqi children as “worth it”. Among Clinton’s biggest backers are the Israel lobby and the arms companies that fuel the violence in the Middle East. She and her husband have received a fortune from Wall Street. And yet, she is about to be ordained the women’s candidate, to see off the evil Trump, the official demon. Her supporters include distinguished feminists: the likes of Gloria Steinem in the US and Anne Summers in Australia. A generation ago, a post-modern cult now known as “identity politics” stopped many intelligent, liberal-minded people examining the causes and individuals they supported — such as the fakery of Obama and Clinton; such as bogus progressive movements like Syriza in Greece, which betrayed the people of that country and allied with their enemies. Self absorption, a kind of “me-ism”, became the new zeitgeist in privileged western societies and signaled the demise of great collective movements against war, social injustice, inequality, racism and sexism. Today, the long sleep may be over. The young are stirring again. Gradually. The thousands in Britain who supported Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader are part of this awakening — as are those who rallied to support Senator Bernie Sanders. In Britain last week, Jeremy Corbyn’s closest ally, his shadow treasurer John McDonnell, committed a Labour government to pay off the debts of piratical banks and, in effect, to continue so-called austerity. In the US, Bernie Sanders has promised to support Clinton if or when she’s nominated. He, too, has voted for America’s use of violence against countries when he thinks it’s “right”. He says Obama has done “a great job”. In Australia, there is a kind of mortuary politics, in which tedious parliamentary games are played out in the media while refugees and Indigenous people are persecuted and inequality grows, along with the danger of war. The government of Malcolm Turnbull has just announced a so-called defence budget of $195 billion that is a drive to war. There was no debate. Silence.

Times Squared | A tale of twin cities | Princes’ gates unveiled | Be ye ready!

King James Bible, Matthew 24:44

Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. King James Bible, Luke 19:42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. As wise men of old discerned the celestial signs, understood the prophetic time of the Lord’s coming, acted on what they knew and observed, walking by faith, we are also called to rise up and wise up, discern the celestial and prophetic signs of the times, ready ourselves for the Lord’s soon coming for His Bride and help others to do likewise. Not heeding the countless warnings to do so will become apparent in hindsight only, once they’re affirmed by sudden destructive events and subsequent weeping and gnashing of teeth. Like Jesus wept from afar before entering Jerusalem, knowing most were neither expecting nor ready for him, many believers have wept over the fate of undiscerning, spiritually slumbering or fast asleep loved ones in light of destructive times and events foretold not only in Scripture, but plastered over a growing volume of media outlets. King James Bible, Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. We may rest assured though the Lord will enable us to continue to unravel the intricate tapestry of prophetic events together, headed by many watchmen and pastors worldwide warning and equipping us to take appropriate action and waking up those still in spiritual slumber or deep sleep. Simultaneously, as a mirror image, we are being inundated by our spiritual enemy with prophetic signaling among which tales of gateways and pathways through which Satan and dark spiritual consorts are serving us legal notice they will enter our realm soon as well and, if not regarded, accusingly hold us accountable afterwards. Of the narrow road and broad gateways Where the Lord’s doorway of readying ourselves and everlasting life in His presence as His Bride is closing shortly, Satan’s forbidden sinful gateways, opened up by the lusts of our eyes, flesh and self seeking pride leading to proverbial nowhere, or rather suffering, death and ultimately eternal damnation, are broadened at simultaneously. These polar opposite routes and accompanying road signs are mapped out in our world’s urban design, its darker ground plans and building architecture influenced by prideful (Masonic) designers and builders of all ages; even under our cities’ (forgotten) ground plans and building foundations these prophetic indicators are found. Queens door to nowhere | Times Square’s hidden arch Consider this forgotten-by-most ‘door to nowhere’ on the north Times Square Shuttle platform, engraved with the word “Knickerbocker” belonging to the Knickerbocker Hotel, 6 Times Square at the SE corner of 7th Avenue and West 42nd, went up in 1906, a year after One Times Square. ‘6 Times Square, also known as the Newsweek Building or Knickerbocker Building, is a building located at 1466 Broadway at the southeast corner of 42nd Street in New York City. This historic building opened in 1906 as the Knickerbocker Hotel, “Knickerbocker” being an iconic name for New York. Built by John Jacob Astor as a showcase of luxury in a time of economic prosperity in the city, the hotel was destined to close its doors only 15 years later due to changes in fortune. The building was later home to Newsweek magazine between 1940 – 1959, and after major restoration in 1980 the building is now used for garment showrooms and offices. When the IRT subway was first built in 1904, a door from the platform led directly into the hotel. The door remains there, marked ‘Knickerbocker’, it has long since been blocked up.’ ‘‘No station on our route is liable to be more active and important,” August Belmont, the president of the IRT, said in 1904 as he described the simultaneous construction of the subway stop and the new Times Building above and below it. Omitting mention of his own financial ties to the newspaper, Belmont said: ”Owing to the conspicuous position which The Times holds, it being one of the leading New York journals, it would seem fitting that the square on which the building stands should be known as ‘Times Square’ and the station as ‘Times Station.’ The Times’s pressroom was directly below the station. ”It is possible in the early morning hours to load the successive editions on subway cars for the most rapid general distribution,” the newspaper said in 1905 as it settled into a building it occupied for eight years before moving around the corner. An archway leading to the Times Building can still be seen on the shuttle platform, as can a door to the Knickerbocker Hotel. In 1927, the IRT opened the terminal of its Queensboro line, which ”established beyond all competition Times Square’s claim to being the greatest station in the world, in point of traffic volume,” The Times said.” No station on our route is liable to be more active and important,” August Belmont, the president of the IRT, said in 1904 as he described the simultaneous construction of the subway stop and the new Times Building above and below it. Omitting mention of his own financial ties to the newspaper, Belmont said: ”Owing to the conspicuous position which The Times holds, it being one of the leading New York journals, it would seem fitting that the square on which the building stands should be known as ‘Times Square’ and the station as ‘Times Station.’ ” Thus, a prophetically significant connection is discernible between the arched gateways and the flow of news, time and traffic and the opening and closing thereof. The Times’s pressroom was directly below the station. ”It is possible in the early morning hours to load the successive editions on subway cars for the most rapid general distribution,” the newspaper said in 1905 as it settled into a building it occupied for eight years before moving around the corner. An archway can still be seen on the shuttle platform (now brown painted and almost plastered over, third photograph below), as can the aforementioned doorway to the recently modernized Knickerbocker Hotel which, in the gallery section of their current website, prominently features the underground entrance. Speaking of the Times, the old doorway led directly to the New York Times Tower (the one now covered in billboards and ringed by the famous “zipper”) displaying all kinds of end times messages as well. The New York Times’ press room was directly below the station and the newspaper noted in 1905 that “it is possible in the early morning hours to load the successive editions on subway cars for the most rapid general distribution” although the paper would remain in the Times Tower for only 8 years. Like our body’s transport system of veins and arteries can, in addition to transporting nutrients and oxygen (rapid general distribution) towards and from the heart, also transport poisonous or otherwise harmful and even degenerative ingested or injected substances, we have been acquainted with the possibility of our cities’ underground transport systems not only being used in a generative manner, but abused for nefarious purposes as well. Only days after its opening on October 24th 1906, the management of the Astor family’s Hotel Knickerbocker was baffled. The 15-story hotel at Broadway and West 42nd Street was already bursting at its Beaux-Arts styled seams. Two-thirds of its rooms were occupied. Diners were being turned away from its restaurants. “Where do all the people come from?” the managers asked. The answer was right under their noses. Actually, it was under their feet. Hidden in plain sight. And evidently, no one did miss the direct Underground access. “There is a constant stream of strangers through the lower floors of the hotel,” The New York Times reported. Prophetically, this continuing influx of strangers has recently taken the form of a mass flooding deemed ‘weaponized migration’ in many western cities and countries as of late. We wrote about that in this previous Forthtell post. In 1927, the IRT opened the terminal of its Queensboro line, which ”established beyond all competition Times Square’s claim to being the greatest station in the world, in point of traffic volume,” The Times said. Now, a closer look at how knickerbockers, prophetic signs of the times and world events are interconnected. Windsors included. Knickerbocker Prince “This was the only answer we could ever get from him; and as my wife, by some of those odd ways in which women find out everything, learned that he was of very great connections, being related to the Knickerbockers of Schagticoke, and cousin-german to the congressman of that name, she did not like to treat him uncivilly.” These words written by Washington Irving in his famous novel-parody Knickerbocker’s History of New York of 1809 launched the Knickerbacker name. A name, until that time, of an obscure clan of Dutchmen in central New York state became the famous Knickerbocker moniker adopted by old gentlemen on beer bottles and major league basketball teams. A name now most famous throughout New York and the United States. The name, spelled with the “O”, has become synonymous with everything 17th century New York Dutch. Herman Knickerbocker (July 27, 1779 – January 30, 1855) was a United States Representative from New York. Born in Albany, he completed preparatory studies, studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1803 and commenced practice in Albany. He became known as “the Prince of Schaghticoke” because of his hospitality and liberality. An excerpt from Valentine’s Manual of Old New York, 1923 of Laura Dayton Fessenden’s reminiscences gives an idea of the nature of this part of town, along with the people who traveled the close by Bloomingdale Road. ‘When I was a little girl, in 1867-1868, the upper part of Manhattan Island, on the west or Hudson River side and north of 59th Street, was suburban. There was one line of street cars that penetrated ”through the quiet” at stated intervals (but never on schedule time) to the jingling of not unmusical harness bells. The route was up Eighth Avenue, and Eighth Avenue skirted the west side of Central Park, as it does to-day, and Central Park was in 1867 a comparatively new city acquisition. There was also once in every two or three hours (I think it was from six in the morning until six at night) a stage line that followed the windings of the Bloomingdale Road (now Broadway) through Bloomingdale, Manhattanville, Carmansville and on to Washington Heights’. Sabbath keeping merchants and artists Valentine’s manual continues: ‘It might be interesting to mention en passant that the people who used these street cars and stages were mostly known to one another, not perhaps personally, but as belonging to the same country-side neighborhood. As an instance of this fact, I recall a tall, dark, sallow man, who always wore a cloak and who was a tea merchant. The stages only ran on week days, for an old observance of the Sabbath was still held in half remembrance in New York.’ Great changes | fading church bells Of course, there have been substantial changes since 1830. In his book, The Last Days of Knickerbocker Life in New York, Valentine’s father says: “When the church bells had ceased tolling and services were about to commence, heavy iron chains were drawn tightly across the streets containing the ‘Houses of Worship’ and only the doctor’s gig, on an errand of mercy, was allowed to pass through the barred roadway”; and again he says: “Sometimes on a lovely summer afternoon a brave sinner would get out his carriage and pair for a drive from town into the country, knowing that for this lapse, and an indefinite period thereafter, he would be a subject for intercession at family evening prayers.” Remnant preservation Many church bells have since then ceased and city life does not revolve around spiritual practices within church appointed boundaries anymore. The city, like its spiritual and merchant twin London and other global strongholds of finance, commerce and idolatry, have morally degraded to such an extent that they resemble the Biblical twin cities of Sodom and Gomorra, ripe for judgement. Various prophetic ministries have discerned their open idolatry displaying squares and underground systems are designated to be abused for ritual sacrifice. Recent and upcoming dark visitations of both New York and London by idols such as Anubis and the Baal Gateway foreshadow the global elite’s dark intents. Though, as long as the remnant church is here, the gates of hell shall not prevail (Matthew 16:18). The church has not lost her sanctifying impact, as the Lord always preserves a remnant proclaiming his Word loud and clear, Times Square Church on the exact location of our narrative being one of them. Hidden passageway coming to light The Knickerbocker passageway has recently come to light again with the renovation of the Knickerbocker as a luxury hotel, after more than 90 years as an office building. The exterior of the Knickerbocker is still an officially designated landmark. The original hotel closed in 1920. In the 1930s, the Maxfield Parrish mural was moved to another Astor hotel, the St. Regis, at Fifth Avenue and East 55th Street, to become the centerpiece of the King Cole Bar. Office tenants in the Knickerbocker building over the years included Newsweek magazine, which was also once an Astor holding. Apocalyptic scenery | forgone glory The article continues: ‘Its architectural features were shattered, punctured, flaking, spalling and crumbling. The heraldic banners and settees are, of course, long gone. Only an apocalyptic film director or an incurable romantic would be drawn to this space, which is used for storage. Yet it has survived. Handsome circular ornaments called roundels still punctuate some of the plasterwork on the columns. A few surfaces retain the elaborate foliate patterns with which they were stenciled when Theodore Roosevelt was president.’ Chester Higgins Jr./The New York Times ‘More stenciling, in an Art Nouveau pattern, can be discerned on the better-preserved roundels. (None are well preserved, but some are less ruined than others.) Apparently, the roundels were painted carmine or maroon, while the columns were a mint color or pine green. The stenciling seems to have been in gold. In one corner of the space is a bricked-up entrance that corresponds with the “Knickerbocker” door on the platform, said Pasquale Botta, the director of engineering for the building. There are no plans to reopen it, said Jeff David, the managing director of the hotel. Even in its day, the subway entrance was not for everyone. Charles the Ape | scaring women For instance, after escaping from a nearby theater, an 11-year-old chimpanzee named Prince Charles strolled into the hotel lobby on Feb. 17, 1918. Despite the fact that he was fully dressed, the police were summoned. “Ape in Big Broadway Hotel,” the headline in The Times said the next day. “Scares Women as He Wanders Into the Knickerbocker Lobby.”’ Closely related, the Prince’s former wife Diana fits into the narrative as well. Lady Diana | UK’s cultural influx During the early 1980s, media interest in the then-Lady Diana Spencer brought a brief commercial revival of the look in women’s and unisex fashion both in Europe and North America, particularly among the “town and country”, “New Romantic“, and “preppie” sets. However, by 1984 the style had waned as more top-heavy styles with snug pants rendered the style obsolete. In sports and elite fashion a remnant is still visible. This temporary British cultural influx coincided with the so called Second British Invasion referring to music acts from the United Kingdom that became popular in the United States from the middle of 1982 into late 1986, primarily due to the cable music channel MTV. While acts with a wide variety of styles were part of the invasion, it was mainly synthpop and new wave influenced acts that predominated. During the late 1980s, hair metal and dance music replaced Second Invasion acts atop the U.S. charts. As the 1980s wore on, American rock, heavy metal and pop music acts learned how to market themselves using video and make catchy singles and over time British acts became less prevalent on the U.S. charts and the broader British cultural impact diminished. Overtly, that is. Forthell readers are familiar with the extent to which British (and especially its monarchy’s) influence is exercised behind the scenes, though manifesting often ‘hidden in plain sight’, its impact reaching far beyond the entertainment industry. Cross turned Queen At the London twin end, its railway system has recently been revised and the opening of the renamed underground Crossrail line, now Elizabeth line celebrated by a public unveiling, much like the recent Trafalgar Square unveiling of the Palmyra arch scene. This Mailonline article on topic is steeped in occult symbolism and language for your perusal. I do not want to withhold these signal pictures though with pyramid structured, masonic handshake, orange (33 numerics) and purple (signaling ritual sacrifice, mingling of the blue/sky and red/earth, thus replacing the Lord as bridge) encoded messaging signaling nefarious elite intent. A more blatant replacing of the spiritual way of the cross for a Queens purple line can hardly be fathomed. A interesting video report on how these twin cities are foreshadowed to shortly suffer grand scale state-sponsored terrorism attacks through (nuclear headed) guided missiles and/or subway/underground railway biowarfare is found here. The twin strongholds appear designated to serve as guiding lights or beacons to the world within the ‘1000 points of light’ meme introduced by Bush sr. to usher in the New World Order by means of sudden destruction. Coming full circle with the onset of this post, to the Lord’s remnant with ‘ears to hear and eyes to see’ the signs of the His soon coming and His calls to prepare our minds, hearts and garments accordingly are plentiful, while darkness simultaneously gains access into our realms through spiritual gateways and signs of pending global judgement through sudden destruction are equally discernible. The Lord’s conversing with and through His Bride is manifesting everywhere and in everything, even in and through the worlds forgotten places and transport systems beneath our feet. Satan’s dark mirrored media outlets, featuring his evil plots and blatant schemes merely provide negative confirmation. To those in spiritual sleep or slumbering, scales and untuned ears obscure or even prevent spiritual insight and awareness of times, signs and consequences of (un-)yielding to the Lord and subsequent (ir-)responsiveness to his calling. Aside from watching, warning and readying ourselves and others, let us foremost pray our and others’ remaining scales and untuned ears will be respectively removed and tuned up quickly, as the time to do so is quickly running out.

Hillary SuperPAC to Unleash $1 Million Internet Troll Army

Tim Brown / April 25, 2016

Trolls, they’re not just under bridges in fairy tales. They are everywhere on the internet. Now, a pro-Hillary Clinton SuperPAC is spending $1 million to attack negative comments on social media and, no doubt, sites like this one. According to PAC Correct the Record, its main focus is “a strategic research and rapid response team designed to defend Hillary Clinton from baseless attacks.” In this case, it’s trolling. “Anonymous online attacks, from both sides of the political spectrum, have sought to spread lies and misleading narratives about Secretary Hillary Clinton,” reads a statement from the PAC. “Hillary’s supporters are more enthusiastic than Sen. Bernie Sanders‘ supporters, yet oftentimes are discouraged from engaging online and are “often afraid to voice their thoughts” because of the fear of online harassment. Many of Hillary Clinton’s female supporters in particular have been subject to intense cyber-bullying and sexist attacks from swarms of anonymous attackers.” “Correct The Record will invest more than $1 million into Barrier Breakers 2016 activities, including the more than tripling of its digital operation to engage in online messaging both for Secretary Clinton and to push back against attackers on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and Instagram,” the PAC added. The “Barrier Breakers 2016 digital task force,” which is set up by Correct the Record, will seek to provide positive comments about Hillary and counter negative comments and posts about her. You can view a few of the memes that will identify their work here. “Lessons learned from online engagement with ‘Bernie Bros’ during the Democratic Primary will be applied to the rest of the primary season and general election — responding quickly and forcefully to negative attacks and false narratives,” Correct the Record continued. “Additionally, as the general election approaches, the task force will begin to push out information to Sanders supporters online, encouraging them to support Hillary Clinton.” Upon hearing of this news, the Bernie Sanders campaign staffer Mike Casca told The Daily Beast, “Our campaign and our vendors are not paying people to reply to anti-Bernie comments on social media.” Right, sure they aren’t. TDB went on to report that many on social media had pointed out that Sanders had engaged in the same activity, spending $16 million on marketing company “Revolution messaging.” According to The Real Strategy: Super PACs aren’t normally allowed to coordinate with candidates, but FEC loopholes mean Correct the Record can – a move discovered by the Sunlight Foundation’s Libby Watson. “The whole reasoning behind (Supreme Court decision) Citizens United rests on (PACs) being independent, but Correct the Record claims it can coordinate,” Watson told The Daily Beast. “It’s not totally clear what their reasoning is, but it seems to be that material posted on the Internet for free — like, blogs — doesn’t count as an ‘independent expenditure’.” The Clinton campaign was also exposed by The Intercept for the use of “astroturfers” in the media. It makes me wonder if some of the people attacking and shutting down Kathy Amidon’s Benghazi Tea Party Fire Ants posts are paid trolls by not only the Clinton campaign, but even by the Obama administration. In either case, trolling has become very common, and it isn’t just among Democrats. Sadly, many have been trolling, attempting to remove the historical understanding of natural born citizen for men like Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio in their presidential bids.

Censored, Surveilled, Watch Listed and Jailed: The Absurdity of Being a Citizen in the American Police State

By John W. Whitehead April 25, 2016

“You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized.”—George Orwell, 1984

In past ages, those who dared to speak out against tyranny—viewed as an act of treason—were blinded, castrated, disfigured, mutilated, rendered mute by having their tongues cut out of their heads, and ultimately crucified. In the American police state, the price to be paid for speaking truth to power (also increasingly viewed as an act of treason) is surveillance, censorship, jail and ultimately death. It’s a diabolically ingenious tactic for muzzling, disarming and ultimately eliminating one’s critics or potential adversaries. However, where many Americans go wrong is in assuming that you have to be doing something illegal or challenging the government’s authority in order to be flagged as a suspicious character, labeled an enemy of the state and locked up like a dangerous criminal. In fact, as I point out in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, all you really need to do is use certain trigger words, surf the internet, communicate using a cell phone, drive a car, stay at a hotel, purchase materials at a hardware store, take flying or boating lessons, appear suspicious, question government authority, or generally live in the United States. With the help of automated eyes and ears, a growing arsenal of high-tech software, hardware and techniques, government propaganda urging Americans to turn into spies and snitches, as well as social media and behavior sensing software, government agents are spinning a sticky spider-web of threat assessments, behavioral sensing warnings, flagged “words,” and “suspicious” activity reports aimed at snaring potential enemies of the state. It’s the American police state’s take on the dystopian terrors foreshadowed by George Orwell, Aldous Huxley and Phillip K. Dick all rolled up into one oppressive pre-crime and pre-thought crime package. What’s more, the technocrats who run the surveillance state don’t even have to break a sweat while monitoring what you say, what you read, what you write, where you go, how much you spend, whom you support, and with whom you communicate. Computers now do the tedious work of trolling social media, the internet, text messages and phone calls for potentially anti-government remarks—all of which is carefully recorded, documented, and stored to be used against you someday at a time and place of the government’s choosing. While this may sound like a riff on a bad joke, it’s a bad joke with “we the people” as the punchline. Yet it is no laughing matter that Americans are being jailed for growing orchids, feeding whales, collecting rainwater, and praying in their backyards. There is nothing humorous about Americans having their families terrorized by SWAT teams, their pets killed, their children shot, their homes trashed and their privacy shredded. And there’s really not much comic relief to be found when the citizenry is forced to pay their own government to jail, spy on, censor, terrorize and kill them. The following activities are guaranteed to get you censored, surveilled, eventually placed on a government watch list, possibly detained and potentially killed. Laugh at your own peril. Use harmless trigger words like cloud, pork and pirates: The Department of Homeland Security has an expansive list of keywords and phrases it uses to monitor social networking sites and online media for signs of terrorist or other threats. While you’ll definitely send up an alert for using phrases such as dirty bomb, Jihad and Agro terror, you’re just as likely to get flagged for surveillance if you reference the terms SWAT, lockdown, police, cloud, food poisoning, pork, flu, Subway, smart, delays, cancelled, la familia, pirates, hurricane, forest fire, storm, flood, help, ice, snow, worm, warning or social media. Use a cell phone: Simply by using a cell phone, you make yourself an easy target for government agents—working closely with corporations—who can listen in on your phone calls, read your text messages and emails, and track your movements based on the data transferred from, received by, and stored in your cell phone. Mention any of the so-called “trigger” words in a conversation or text message, and you’ll get flagged for sure. Drive a car: Unless you’ve got an old junkyard heap without any of the gadgets and gizmos that are so attractive to today’s car buyers (GPS, satellite radio, electrical everything, smart systems, etc.), driving a car today is like wearing a homing device: you’ll be tracked from the moment you open that car door thanks to black box recorders and vehicle-to-vehicle communications systems that can monitor your speed, direction, location, the number of miles traveled, and even your seatbelt use. Once you add satellites, GPS devices, license plate readers, and real-time traffic cameras to the mix, there’s nowhere you can go on our nation’s highways and byways that you can’t be followed. By the time you add self-driving cars into the futuristic mix, equipped with computers that know where you want to go before you do, privacy and autonomy will be little more than distant mirages in your rearview mirror. Attend a political rally: Enacted in the wake of 9/11, the Patriot Act redefined terrorism so broadly that many non-terrorist political activities such as protest marches, demonstrations and civil disobedience were considered potential terrorist acts, thereby rendering anyone desiring to engage in protected First Amendment expressive activities as suspects of the surveillance state. Express yourself on social media: The FBI, CIA, NSA and other government agencies are investing in and relying on corporate surveillance technologies that can mine constitutionally protected speech on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in order to identify potential extremists and predict who might engage in future acts of anti-government behavior. A decorated Marine, 26-year-old Brandon Raub was targeted by the Secret Service because of his Facebook posts, interrogated by government agents about his views on government corruption, arrested with no warning, labeled mentally ill for subscribing to so-called “conspiratorial” views about the government, detained against his will in a psych ward for having “dangerous” opinions, and isolated from his family, friends and attorneys. Serve in the military: Operation Vigilant Eagle, the brainchild of the Dept. of Homeland Security, calls for surveillance of military veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, characterizing them as extremists and potential domestic terrorist threats because they may be “disgruntled, disillusioned or suffering from the psychological effects of war.” Police agencies are also using Beware, an “early warning” computer system that tips them off to a potential suspect’s inclination to be a troublemaker and assigns individuals a color-coded threat score—green, yellow or red—based on a variety of factors including one’s criminal records, military background, medical history and social media surveillance. Disagree with a law enforcement official: A growing number of government programs are aimed at identifying, monitoring and locking up anyone considered potentially “dangerous” or mentally ill (according to government standards, of course). For instance, a homeless man in New York City who reportedly had a history of violence but no signs of mental illness was forcibly detained in a psych ward for a week after arguing with shelter police. Despite the fact that doctors cited no medical reason to commit him, the man was locked up in accordance with a $22 million program that monitors mentally ill people considered “potentially” violent. According to the Associated Press, “A judge finally ordered his release, ruling that the man's commitment violated his civil rights and that bureaucrats had meddled in his medical treatment.” Call in sick to work: In Virginia, a so-called police “welfare check” instigated by a 58-year-old man’s employer after he called in sick resulted in a two-hour, SWAT team-style raid on the man’s truck and a 72-hour mental health hold. During the standoff, a heavily armed police tactical team confronted Benjamin Burruss as he was leaving an area motel, surrounded his truck, deployed a “stinger” device behind the rear tires, launched a flash grenade, smashed the side window in order to drag him from the truck, handcuffed and searched him, and transported him to a local hospital for a psychiatric evaluation and mental health hold. All of this was done despite the fact that police acknowledged they had no legal basis nor probable cause for detaining Burruss, given that he had not threatened to harm anyone and was not mentally ill. Limp or stutter: As a result of a nationwide push to certify a broad spectrum of government officials in mental health first-aid training (a 12-hour course comprised of PowerPoint presentations, videos, discussions, role playing and other interactive activities), more Americans are going to run the risk of being reported for having mental health issues by non-medical personnel. Mind you, once you get on such a government watch list—whether it’s a terrorist watch list, a mental health watch list, or a dissident watch list—there’s no clear-cut way to get off, whether or not you should actually be on there. For instance, one 37-year-old disabled man was arrested, diagnosed by police and an unlicensed mental health screener as having “mental health issues,” apparently because of his slurred speech and unsteady gait, and subsequently locked up for five days in a mental health facility against his will and with no access to family and friends. A subsequent hearing found that Gordon Goines, who suffers from a neurological condition similar to multiple sclerosis, has no mental illness and should not have been confined. Appear confused or nervous, fidget, whistle or smell bad: According to the Transportation Security Administration’s 92-point secret behavior watch list for spotting terrorists, these are among some of the telling signs of suspicious behavior: fidgeting, whistling, bad body odor, yawning, clearing your throat, having a pale face from recently shaving your beard, covering your mouth with your hand when speaking and blinking your eyes fast. You can also be pulled aside for interrogation if you “have ‘unusual items,’ like almanacs and ‘numerous prepaid calling cards or cell phones.’” One critic of the program accurately referred to the program as a “license to harass.” Allow yourself to be seen in public waving a toy gun or anything remotely resembling a gun, such as a water nozzle or a remote control or a walking cane, for instance: No longer is it unusual to hear about incidents in which police shoot unarmed individuals first and ask questions later. John Crawford was shot by police in an Ohio Wal-Mart for holding an air rifle sold in the store that he may have intended to buy. Thirteen-year-old Andy Lopez Cruz was shot 7 times in 10 seconds by a California police officer who mistook the boy’s toy gun for an assault rifle. Christopher Roupe, 17, was shot and killed after opening the door to a police officer. The officer, mistaking the Wii remote control in Roupe’s hand for a gun, shot him in the chest. Another police officer repeatedly shot 70-year-old Bobby Canipe during a traffic stop. The cop saw the man reaching for his cane and, believing the cane to be a rifle, opened fire. Stare at a police officer: Miami-Dade police slammed the 14-year-old Tremaine McMillian to the ground, putting him in a chokehold and handcuffing him after he allegedly gave them “dehumanizing stares” and walked away from them, which the officers found unacceptable. Appear to be pro-gun, pro-freedom or anti-government: You might be a domestic terrorist in the eyes of the FBI (and its network of snitches) if you: express libertarian philosophies (statements, bumper stickers); exhibit Second Amendment-oriented views (NRA or gun club membership); read survivalist literature, including apocalyptic fictional books; show signs of self-sufficiency (stockpiling food, ammo, hand tools, medical supplies); fear an economic collapse; buy gold and barter items; subscribe to religious views concerning the book of Revelation; voice fears about Big Brother or big government; expound about constitutional rights and civil liberties; or believe in a New World Order conspiracy. This is all part of a larger trend in American governance whereby dissent is criminalized and pathologized, and dissenters are censored, silenced or declared unfit for society. Attend a public school: Microcosms of the police state, America’s public schools contain almost every aspect of the militarized, intolerant, senseless, overcriminalized, legalistic, surveillance-riddled, totalitarian landscape that plagues those of us on the “outside.” From the moment a child enters one of the nation’s 98,000 public schools to the moment she graduates, she will be exposed to a steady diet of draconian zero tolerance policies that criminalize childish behavior, overreaching anti-bullying statutes that criminalize speech, school resource officers (police) tasked with disciplining and/or arresting so-called “disorderly” students, standardized testing that emphasizes rote answers over critical thinking, politically correct mindsets that teach young people to censor themselves and those around them, and extensive biometric and surveillance systems that, coupled with the rest, acclimate young people to a world in which they have no freedom of thought, speech or movement. Additionally, as part of the government’s so-called ongoing war on terror, the FBI—the nation’s de facto secret police force—is now recruiting students and teachers to spy on each other and report anyone who appears to have the potential to be “anti-government” or “extremist” as part of its “Don’t Be a Puppet” campaign. Speak truth to power: Long before Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden were being castigated for blowing the whistle on the government’s war crimes and the National Security Agency’s abuse of its surveillance powers, it was activists such as Martin Luther King Jr. and John Lennon who were being singled out for daring to speak truth to power. These men and others like them had their phone calls monitored and data files collected on their activities and associations. For a little while, at least, they became enemy number one in the eyes of the U.S. government. There’s always a price to pay for standing up to the powers-that-be. Yet as this list shows, you don’t even have to be a dissident to get flagged by the government for surveillance, censorship and detention. All you really need to be is a citizen of the American police state.

McAuliffe restores voting rights for 206K ex-felons; GOP calls it move to boost Clinton

By GRAHAM MOOMAW Richmond Times-Dispatch

Gov. Terry McAuliffe signed an executive order Friday restoring the voting rights of 206,000 ex-felons, a sweeping action the governor said was aimed largely at rectifying Virginia’s “long and sad history” of suppressing African-American voting power. The move, coming in a presidential election year, outraged Republicans who accused McAuliffe of abusing his power to help longtime ally Hillary Clinton win a battleground state by putting more likely Democratic voters on the books. The governor’s order applies to all violent and nonviolent felons who had finished their sentence and supervised release as of Friday, even those who have not applied for a restoration of rights. Previous Virginia governors have restored rights on an individual basis, but none has done it for an entire category of offenders with one pen stroke. The order stops short of creating automatic restoration of rights for all ex-offenders, because McAuliffe will have to sign similar orders on a monthly basis moving forward. Still, the order is a historic shift away from Virginia’s policy of lifetime disenfranchisement for those convicted of serious crimes. “We benefit from a more just and accountable government when we put trust in all of our citizens to choose their leaders,” McAuliffe said Friday from the steps of the state Capitol, where a gospel choir warmed up a jubilant crowd. “It has taken Virginia many centuries, unfortunately, to learn this lesson. But today, we celebrate its truth.” The action, which comes just days after the General Assembly wrapped up the 2016 legislative session, has the potential to expand the state’s voter rolls, currently estimated at about 5.4 million, by as much as 3.8 percent. Virginia is one of 10 states that do not automatically restore rights upon completion of a felony sentence and one of only four states that require an application by the felon and action by the governor, according to the McAuliffe administration, which cited research showing one of every five African-Americans of voting age in Virginia has lost the right to vote. Supporters praised McAuliffe for what they characterized as a bold step that will give ex-offenders a chance to fully participate in civic life. Opponents called it a potentially unconstitutional overreach that will further strain the relationship between the governor and the Republican-controlled legislature. In his speech, McAuliffe anticipated a strong response from Republicans, who said the order’s lack of distinction between violent crimes and less serious offenses will give murderers and rapists the right to vote, serve on juries, hold public office and notarize documents. “There may be some individuals who will try and demagogue this issue and will make reckless accusations,” McAuliffe said. “Our action today does not pardon or change the sentence for any man or woman affected by this plan. These individuals have completed their sentences. They have atoned for their actions.” Ex-offenders affected by Friday’s order must register to vote before participating in elections. Several Democratic-aligned organizing groups were in the crowd for Friday’s announcement, registering some attendees on the spot. Speaker of the House William J. Howell, R-Stafford, blasted the order as a political ploy to boost Democrats’ chances in November. “The singular purpose of Terry McAuliffe’s governorship is to elect Hillary Clinton president of the United States,” Howell said.This office has always been a steppingstone to a job in Hillary Clinton’s Cabinet.” “Considering that the entire General Assembly was in session just two days ago, the timing of this action should give all legislators pause,” said Senate Majority Leader Thomas K. Norment Jr., R-James City. “Perhaps this governor does not expect to have to work with the General Assembly next session, as he might be planning on an appointment to an office headquartered in a different capital city.” Clinton praised the move on Twitter, saying: “Proud of my friend (Terry McAuliffe) for continuing to break down barriers to voting.” With Virginians choosing a new governor in 2017, McAuliffe’s successor could choose not to continue the policy. “I believe in redemption and reconciliation and that a review of restoration of rights for nonviolent felons who’ve paid their debt to society deserves debate, but this sweeping action benefiting convicted rapists, murderers and child molesters is a reckless abuse of executive power,” said Ed Gillespie, a GOP gubernatorial hopeful and former chairman of the Republican National Committee. McAuliffe’s order does not restore firearm rights. The ability to purchase and own a gun still would require court action. The ACLU of Virginia, which has pressed several governors on the issue, said McAuliffe’s action “matched our hopes and exceeded our expectations.” “Today’s executive order reflects the governor’s recognition that the depth of disenfranchisement in Virginia and its deep roots in Virginia’s Jim Crow past required bolder executive action for progress to be made,” said Claire Guthrie Gastañaga, executive director of the ACLU of Virginia. The governor said he ensured he was on “solid legal and constitutional grounds,” but Republicans pointed to a 2010 letter to the ACLU from an attorney for Gov. Timothy M. Kaine, a Democrat, stating that a blanket restoration of rights would amount to a “troubling” rewrite of state law and the Constitution. McAuliffe said he consulted with Attorney General Mark R. Herring and A.E. Dick Howard, an expert on the Virginia Constitution and professor at the University of Virginia School of Law. In an interview, Howard said unequivocally that McAuliffe has the authority to restore rights for a large group rather than an individual. “There is simply no question about that,” Howard said. He also spoke of the historic significance of the occasion in relation to Virginia’s 1901-1902 constitutional convention, which set up poll taxes, literacy tests and disenfranchisement for felons as barriers for African-American participation. “Today, the last ghost of the 1902 convention was buried,” Howard said. Levar Stoney, a Richmond mayoral candidate who worked with McAuliffe to restore rights for 18,000 ex-offenders as secretary of the commonwealth, read a quote from then-legislator Carter Glass about the voting plan adopted at the 1902 convention. “This plan will eliminate the darkey as a political factor in this state in less than five years, so that in no single county will there be the least concern felt for the complete supremacy of the white race in the affairs of government,” Stoney said as he introduced the governor. Public service, he said, is about “giving voice to the voiceless and righting the wrongs.” Speaking in the former capital of the Confederacy, McAuliffe and others drew parallels to the Civil War. “Not long after President Abraham Lincoln celebrated emancipation with former slaves gathered not 20 yards from where I’m standing, Virginia initiated a campaign of intimidation, of corruption, of violence aimed at separating African-Americans from their constitutional right to vote,” McAuliffe said. Previous governors have said they thought a wholesale restoration of rights would require a change to the Virginia Constitution, but recent governors have found ways to accelerate and accomplish part of the goal through an exercise of executive authority. Gov. Mark R. Warner, a Democrat, took steps to simplify the cumbersome process, which could take years to initiate and months to complete. Kaine shortened the waiting period for those released from prison before applying for a restoration of rights. Gov. Bob McDonnell, a Republican, made prisoner re-entry and rehabilitation a priority of his administration. He reduced the processing time of restoration applications and automatically restored rights on an individual basis to nonviolent felons who had completed their sentence, probation and paid their court costs and fines, resulting in restoring the rights of more than 6,800 Virginians. The McAuliffe administration simplified and dramatically accelerated the process, reducing the application to one page from 13 and shortening from five years to three years the time period in which a felon must wait to apply for reinstatement. The current administration also removed drug offenses from the list of those considered violent felonies not eligible for restoration and said rights can be restored even if a felon has not completed payment of court fees and restitution. Speaking to reporters, McAuliffe denied that the order was motivated by the presidential race and said he had not thought about the political impact. “There’s elections every year in Virginia,” McAuliffe said. “So one year versus another doesn’t really matter.” He also said he saw no need to distinguish between violent and nonviolent crimes. “You can’t be a second-class citizen. Once you’ve paid your time, there’s no difference to me,” McAuliffe said. “We want you back. We want you to be a productive member of society.”

Trump lashes out at 'weak and desperate colluders' Cruz and Kasich after they announce they will tag-team against him in last ditch attempt to stop him

Ted Cruz and John Kasich said they will coordinate primary strategies in upcoming states to deprive Donald Trump of delegates

Kasich campaign said it will give Cruz 'a clear path in Indiana'; Cruz campaign will 'clear the path' for Kasich in Oregon and New Mexico

As Kasich backs out of Indiana's May 3 contest, Cruz promised to not compete in contests in Oregon on May 17 and New Mexico on June 7

An angry Trump responded early Monday morning: 'Lyin' Ted Cruz and 1 for 38 Kasich are unable to beat me on their own so they have to team up'

He called it 'collusion,' a legal term that suggests illegal coordination, although there's nothing in Republican party rules prohibiting it

'1 for 38 Kasich' finally gets his own Trump nickname!

By David Martosko, US Political Editor and Kelly Mclaughlin For Dailymail.com and Wires Published: 00:04 EST, 25 April 2016 | Updated: 11:25 EST, 25 April 2016

Donald Trump launched a series of attacks on his two remaining Republican rivals Monday morning, calling them 'weak and desperate' after they announced a strategic pact to deny him votes in the coming weeks. Trump said in a statement issued just before 1 o'clock in the morning that the Cruz–Kasich pact smacks of 'collusion,' a loaded term commonly applied to 'price fixing' that illegally coordinates and manipulates commercial markets. Republican Party rules, however, don't prohibit strategically ganging up on a front-runner – and the GOP's leadership may welcome the move if it weakens Trump, who has been a thorn in the establishment's side since he launched his campaign in June 2015. Trump also called it 'sad' that 'two grown politicians have to collude against one person who has only been a politician for ten months,' and then turned a common Cruz talking point back on his challengers. Cruz spokesman Ron Nehring admitted to CNN Monday that a Cruz win on the first ballot at the convention is "not going to happen," event though Cruz has said previously the ultimate goal was to win an outright majority of delegates. 'A smart political campaign is one that adapts to the strategic realities that are on the ground today. When we set out this campaign our goal of course was to reach a flat out majority at the convention. That was always the goal – it was the best scenario for us … But that’s not going to happen,' Nehring said. Nehring said Trump 'can’t consolidate the base going forward' and therefore shouldn't be the nominee. 'We want to make sure that by some accident – by some fluke of the rules whereby Donald Trump could gain more delegates than he has earned the share of the vote – he doesn’t’ become the Republican nominee and lead this party to a disaster," he said. The Texan has said repeatedly that Trump shouldn't be the Republican presidential nominee because two-thirds of GOP voters chose other candidates in their state primaries and caucuses – especially because the field was as large as 17 candidates in the early going. That number, though, is higher for Cruz and Kasich. 'Approximately 80% of the Republican Party is against him,' Trump said of Cruz, adding that '85% of Republican voters are against Kasich.' And, he claimed, the 'millions of new voters he has attracted to the Republican primary process 'will drop out if I am not in the race.' Cruz and Kasich issued near-simultaneous statements Sunday night while much of institutional Washington was watching 'Game of Thrones,' outlining an power-sharing agreement that's highly unusual in modern American politics. The Kasich campaign will give Cruz 'a clear path in Indiana'. In return, the Cruz campaign will 'clear the path' for Kasich in Oregon and New Mexico, Cruz's press release read. Trump first responded to the arrangement on Twitter shortly before midnight: 'Wow, just announced that Lyin' Ted and Kasich are going to collude in order to keep me from getting the Republican nomination. DESPERATION!' 'Lyin' Ted and Kasich are mathematically dead and totally desperate. Their donors & special interest groups are not happy with them. Sad!' he later added. Ohio Gov. John Kasich's campaign said Sunday night that it is pulling out of Indiana to clear the field for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz – who is in turn stepping aside in Oregon and New Mexico where Kasich is stronger. 'Lyin' Ted Cruz and 1 for 38 Kasich are unable to beat me on their own so they have to team up (collusion) in a two on one. Shows weakness!' Trump tweeted Monday morning. 'Shows how weak and desperate Lyin' Ted is when he has to team up with a guy who openly can't stand him and is only 1 win and 38 losses,' a second tweet read. The digital moment marks the first time Trump has applied a derogatory nickname – '1 for 38 Kasich' – to the candidate who had been a minor irritant in the race. Cruz has been 'Lyin' Ted' for nearly two months. Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton turns up Frequently in Trump speeches as 'crooked Hillary.' The arrangement does not address the five Northeastern state set to vote on Tuesday, where Trump is expected to add to his already overwhelming delegate lead. Kasich and Cruz had already retreated to Indiana, which holds its primary on May 3. Yet the shift offers increasingly desperate Trump foes a glimmer of hope in their long and frustrating fight to halt the former reality television star's unlikely rise. 'Having Donald Trump at the top of the ticket in November would be a sure disaster for Republicans,' Cruz's campaign manager, Jeff Roe, said in a statement explaining the new plans. 'Not only would Trump get blown out by Clinton or Sanders, but having him as our nominee would set the party back a generation,' he added. Kasich's chief strategist, John Weaver, said: 'Our goal is to have an open convention in Cleveland, where we are confident a candidate capable of uniting the party and winning in November will emerge as the nominee.' The announcement marks a sharp reversal for Cruz's team, which aggressively opposed coordinating anti-Trump efforts with Kasich as recently as late last week. And it only applies to Indiana, Oregon and New Mexico - three of the 15 states remaining on the Republican primary calendar. The announcement came less than 48 hours before voting begins across five Northeastern states where the New York billionaire leads in many polls. Trump campaigned on Sunday in Maryland, which will vote on Tuesday along with Rhode Island, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Delaware. Speaking to several thousand people in an airplane hangar in Hagerstown, Maryland, on Sunday evening, Trump stressed repeatedly that he expects to win the 1,237 delegates needed in the first round of voting to stave off a contested convention. 'I only care about the first. We're not going for the second and third and fourth and fifth,' said Trump. As Kasich backs out of Indiana, Cruz promised to not compete in primary contests in Oregon on May 17 and New Mexico on June 7. 'We will focus our time and resources in New Mexico and Oregon, both areas that are structurally similar to the Northeast politically, where Gov Kasich is performing well,' Weaver said. As recently as three days ago Kasich's campaign announced investments in Indiana, including the opening of two offices and the creation of a campaign leadership team. His campaign on Sunday night canceled a town hall and gathering in Indianapolis scheduled to watch the results of Tuesday's primaries. Like Cruz's campaign, Kasich's campaign encouraged allied super PACs and other outside groups to 'honor the commitments'. In recent weeks, Trump has repeatedly denounced the GOP's presidential nominating system as 'rigged'. That criticism is likely to intensify in the coming days. There was far less drama on the Democratic side Sunday. Underdog Bernie Sanders rallied thousands of voters in two New England states, seeking momentum even as he offered mixed signals on how hard he would push his differences with front-runner Hillary Clinton. The Vermont senator largely steered clear of Clinton at a Rhode Island park, but hours later ramped up his critique before more than 14,000 supporters in New Haven, Connecticut. Sanders reiterated his call for Clinton to release transcripts of lucrative Wall Street speeches she delivered after leaving the State Department in early 2013. 'This campaign, unlike Secretary Clinton's, has not raised $15 million from Wall Street and millions more from other special interests,' he said as the crowd booed at the mention of Clinton's name. Clinton eyed victories in four or five of Tuesday's contests, which would all but cripple Sanders' White House bid. The former secretary of state went to two Philadelphia church services attended largely by African-Americans ahead of the primary in Pennsylvania, Tuesday's top delegate prize. She declined to attack her Democratic rival by name in the morning appearance and a subsequent stop in Bridgeport, Connecticut, focusing on the GOP candidates. Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz downplayed tensions between Sanders and Clinton, whose rivalry has become increasingly nasty in recent weeks. 'Regardless of the intensity of what's played out here... we are going to be unified,' she declared.

Pope's Marxist bias in U.S. campaign signals new global order

By Cliff Kincaid April 18, 2016

The liberal media are so in love with Pope Francis that they can't report the hard truth about his blatant interference in the 2016 presidential campaign and what it represents. Not only was socialist Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) invited to a conference of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences (PASS) on Catholic social teaching and the world situation, he also met personally with Pope Francis. A secular Jewish atheist, Sanders is not even a member of the Catholic Church. "I am not actively involved with organized religion," Sanders has said. His brother Larry says, "He is quite substantially not religious." Instead, he is a socialist with strong ties, if not membership in, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), the same group that backed Barack Obama's run for president in 2008 and is the U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International. His involvement in the Vatican conference demonstrates how Pope Francis is moving the Roman Catholic Church into the global socialist camp. ABC News quoted the pope as saying that his "brief encounter" on Saturday with presidential candidate Sanders was a sign of good manners, "nothing more." The Reuters news agency quoted the pope as saying that anyone who thought the meeting was political should "look for a psychiatrist." In fact, Sanders' appearance is much more than a brief encounter. It is entirely consistent with how, under Pope Francis, the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences has become what conservative Catholic Michael Hichborn of the Lepanto Institute calls a haven for Marxists and socialists. He says that these groups are maneuvering to bring into being an international socialist order. In Sanders' speech to a conference of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, he embraced Catholic "social teachings" in his indictment of the "market economy," or capitalism. At the event, Sanders sat next to Evo Morales of Bolivia, who had previously presented a communist crucifix to Francis. Sanders enthusiastically greeted Morales upon his arrival at the event. A prominent speaker was Father J. Bryan Hehir, who once taught a course at the Institute for Policy Studies called "Matthew, MARX, Luke, and John." Hehir served on the staff of the U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops in Washington, D.C., from 1973 to 1992, and now teaches at Harvard. Hehir has explained the meaning of the Roman Catholic Church's call for a "world political authority" with "real teeth." Still another speaker was Jeffrey Sachs, a special advisor to the United Nations and director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, who has challenged the "American idea" of God-given rights embodied in the Declaration of Independence as old-fashioned and out-of-date. PASS President Professor Margaret Archer has her own Marxist tendencies, having co-authored a book titled, Transcendence: Critical Realism and God. In the introduction of the book, Archer and her co-authors say of themselves, "The three of us are all academics. One of us is a philosopher, and two are sociologists. Similarly, we are all associated with the political left, the economic or Marxian left particularly." Archer was appointed by Pope Francis as the president of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences in April of 2014. Hichborn has commented that since her appointment, Archer "has used her position to invite population-control architects Jeffrey Sachs and [U.N. Secretary-General] Ban Ki-moon to speak at a Vatican event and attack pro-lifers who were concerned about it." He notes that she participated in an event sponsored by PASS that was "intended to explore ways to indoctrinate children into the Sustainable Development agenda of the United Nations," considered a means by which global capitalism is to be overthrown and a global socialist order ushered into being. There was some dispute over whether Archer played a personal role in inviting Sanders to the conference. But whether it was Archer, the Vatican, or PASS, it had massive political significance, as demonstrated by the fact that Sanders posted the letter on his website that highlighted his appearance at the event. Last August we published a column, "Will the Pope Endorse Bernie Sanders for President?," speculating that Pope Francis would attempt to put the Roman Catholic Church firmly in the Democratic Party camp in a critical election year during which Republicans were hoping to turn back the tide of transformational Marxism represented by President Barack Obama. The column noted that an article in the Jesuit publication "America" highlighted the fact that Sanders was the presidential candidate who most often quoted Pope Francis. While the pope didn't endorse one candidate over another during his visit to the United States, the official invitation to Sanders for the Vatican event this month has to be seen as evidence that the Vatican approves of his socialist approach, no matter what personal views he holds on religion. Ironically, the conference that included Sanders was described by some publications as a celebration of the 25th anniversary of Pope John Paul II's encyclical marking the end of the Cold War, even though communist regimes such as Cuba, China and North Korea still exist. The fall of the Soviet Union was highlighted during the conference. In this context, Russia continues to be viewed as a "former" communist country, even though it's run by Vladimir Putin, a former head of the Soviet intelligence service, the KGB. However, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, writes in The Washington Times that Russian President Vladimir Putin "may have swapped Soviet Communism for Russian chauvinism as Russia's guiding ideology, but the bellicose, expansionist impulse and anti-American cant remain intact." Nunes admitted to CNN's Jake Tapper on April 12 that the U.S. Government has badly "misjudged" the intentions of Putin "for many, many years." He explained that "The biggest intelligence failure that we have had since 9/11 has been the inability to predict the leadership plans and intentions of the Putin regime in Russia." After the Russian invasion of Georgia in 2008, he noted, the U.S. continued to engage diplomatically with the Russians, and "we continued to talk to the Russians, and then they invaded Eastern Ukraine," he said. "We missed that. And then we completely missed entirely when they put a new base, a new base with aircraft into the Mediterranean, into Syria. We just missed it. We were blind." He went on to say, "The intelligence community has continued to get this wrong. And, look, I think it's all of us are to blame, right? And I think the White House is to blame. I think Congress is to blame. I think many of our allies are to blame, because we misjudged Putin for many, many years." Yet, Pope Francis was recently in Cuba, signing an agreement of cooperation with the Russian Orthodox Church, which is widely regarded as being under the control of the Putin regime and the KGB. It was Francis, of course, who helped the Obama administration normalize relations with Cuba. It would appear, therefore, that the appearance of "Bolshevik Bernie" at the Vatican is only one piece of a puzzle that demonstrates the involvement of the Roman Catholic Church in a Marxist-oriented New World Order that treats Russia and the forces of international communism as major players. It is Sanders' role to push the political discussion to the left during the U.S. presidential campaign so that the U.S. offers no effective resistance to a world government based on Marxist principles.

Bank-hacking malware discovery leaves 11,000 global financial institutions on high alert

By Jason Murdock April 25, 2016 14:06 BST

Over ten thousand banks and financial institutions are being urged to remain vigilant after the secure Swift (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) system – used to send messages between global firms – was reportedly compromised by the sophisticated hacking scheme that targeted the Bangladesh central bank in March 2016. The news comes after security researchers at British defence contractor BAE Systems claimed to have uncovered a stealthy piece of malware used in the Bangladesh attack, which resulted in the loss of $81m (£56m, €71m). Previously, investigators said that cybercriminals broke into the bank's computer networks to steal vital access credentials. However, fresh research claims that Swift was also likely compromised during the hack in order to erase records of malicious financial transfers. Natasha Deteran, a spokesperson for the Brussels-based Swift, told Reuters an emergency software update was imminent. Additionally, a 'special warning' will be issued telling financial firms to analyse their current security procedures. The update, Deteran said, was being issued to "assist customers in enhancing their security and to spot inconsistencies in their local database records". However, she maintained the malware uncovered had "no impact" on the core messaging services. "While we keep all our interface products under continual review and recommend that other vendors do the same, the key defence against such attack scenarios is that users implement appropriate security measures in their local environments to safeguard their systems," she added. The Swift messaging platform is used by 11,000 banks and other institutions around the world and is a co-operative owned by 3,000 financial institutions. In an in-depth analysis released on 25 April, BAE researchers unleashed evidence that malware uncovered from the Bangladesh incident was used to 'manipulate' a Swift client known as 'Alliance Access'. This has led to mounting concerns that existing vulnerabilities in the messaging software mean other systems may be susceptible to hacking attempts. "The analysed sample allows a glimpse into the toolkit of one of the team in well-planned bank heist," said Sergei Shevchenko, cyber threat researcher with BAE Systems. "This malware was written bespoke for attacking a specific victim infrastructure, but the general tools, techniques and procedures used in the attack may allow the gang to strike again. All financial institutions who run SWIFT Alliance Access and similar systems should be seriously reviewing their security now to make sure they too are not exposed." According to Shevchenko the attackers put "significant effort" into deleting evidence of their intrusion however admitted that many pieces of the puzzle are still missing, including how the attackers sent the fraudulent transfers, how the malware was implanted into the banks system and the actual identity of the culprits. The initial breach at the Bangladesh central bank occurred in early February as criminals orchestrated a scheme to steal a massive $951m from the banks account at the Federal Reserve in New York. In the subsequent probe, officials from the victimised bank have lashed out at Swift for not doing enough to stop the hacking. "It was their responsibility to point it out but we haven't found any evidence that they advised before the heist," asserted Mohammad Shah Alam, chief investigator on the case. However, officials at the bank also came under criticism after it was revealed the institution's computer security was so lax it did not even have a firewall in place to fend off cyberattacks. Furthermore, reports indicated the routers used to connect to the secure Swift system were cheap second-hand devices that cost as little as $10 (£7).

The ISIS money man: Biggest intelligence raid in US Special Forces' history exposes spreadsheet-loving jihadi accountant behind terror group's $1million-a-day oil operation

Abu Sayyaf was killed in a May, 2015 raid by US Special Forces in Syria

Documents seized in the raid gave more intelligence than 'any Special Forces operation in history,' a State Department official has said

Recent review of documents revealed how Abu Sayyaf ran ISIS oil fields

He was known as fearsome boss who oversaw cash-only fuel trade

In oil field salary negotiations, slave ownership was taken into account

Picture shows Abu Sayyaf counting huge stacks of cash from oil sales

Even after US destroyed 30% of ISIS oil infrastructure, daily sales still amount $1 million, documents reveal

By Anton Nilsson For Dailymail.com Published: 21:37 EST, 24 April 2016 | Updated: 00:41 EST, 25 April 2016

Documents seized in the raid that killed a top ISIS oil executive last year have revealed details on how the terror group ran its $1million-a-day oil operation. Paperwork reviewed by the Wall Street Journal shows ISIS oil man Abu Sayyaf had a job not unlike other oil executives - except he was also faced with issues like factoring slave ownership into salary negotiations, and repairing oil wells damaged in U.S. airstrikes. A U.S. State Department official has said that more information was obtained from the documents seized in the raid against Abu Sayyaf than from 'any Special Forces operation in history.' Spreadsheets retrieved in the raid showed ISIS's total natural resource revenues in the six months that ended in February 2015 amounted to $289.5 million - and Abu Sayyaf's operation in the Deir Ezzour and al-Hasakah provinces in north-eastern Syria contributed to 72 percent of those revenues, the Journal reported. Abu Sayyaf, a Tunisian who had his headquarters in the al-Omar field in Deir Ezzour, was known as a fearsome boss, who would threaten to relocate workers to oil fields in Iraq, where bosses were thought to be even worse, said Ibrahim, a 36-year old former oil worker interviewed by the Journal. But other means of intimidation were much more sinister, Ibrahim said: 'You go to work and you find someone beheaded.' Abu Sayyaf, who was given custody in September 2014 of the American aid worker Kayla Mueller after she suffered as ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's sex slave, was killed on May 16, 2015 in the nighttime raid against his compound in Deir Ezzour. Under the direction of ISIS, Abu Sayyaf set up a system where private buyers would line up with trucks at oil fields, pay in cash for crude oil, and transport it in their own trucks, according to the Journal. As the Daily Beast reported in December, the truckers would then sell the crude oil at a profit to local, makeshift refineries. There, fuel was produced to be sold at roadside pumping stations or in bulk to other smugglers, who go on to sell it in more populated areas. In the end, the 'greater amount' of ISIS-produced oil was purchased by Syrian president Bashar al-Assad's regime, according to the U.S. Treasury Department. '[Assad's regime and ISIS] are trying to slaughter each other and they are still engaged in millions and millions of dollars of trade,' said Adam Szubin, acting under secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence with the Treasury Department, Reuters reported in December. Some of the ISIS-produced oil also ended up in Turkey, the Treasury Department claimed. The large profits ISIS made from oil prompted the U.S. to heavily target the group's oil infrastructure in its air raids. The campaign successfully dented ISIS's oil profits, making it less profitable today than taxation, the Journal reported. However, even after U.S. air strikes destroyed 30 percent of ISIS's oil infrastructure, the terror group still makes about $1 million every day from selling oil, and the corporate structures set up under Abu Sayyaf remain intact, according to the Journal. The terror group maintains its oil operation in part by offering handsome salaries to skilled oil workers: more than three times an average Syrian salary - $50 per month - for an accountant, and about eight times an average salary for a drilling technician. It also factors in how many slaves and dependents a worker has when deciding salaries, the Journal reported. According to the Journal, some of Abu Sayyaf's duties were taken over in March by the French jihadist Abu Mohammad al-Fransi, who reports to his predecessor's boss, Haji Hamid.

Russian Jets Buzzing American Ships May Be Met by Force, General Says

Apr 21, 2016 | by Richard Sisk

Russia should be warned that its dangerous flybys of U.S. ships and planes could be met by force, President Barack Obama's nominee as the next NATO and U.S. European Command commander said Thursday. "Sir, I believe that should be known -- yes," Army Gen. Curtis M. "Mike" Scaparrotti said when asked by Sen. John McCain whether Russia should be told that the U.S. would take action if American lives were endangered. Pursuing the same line of questioning, Sen. Joe Donnelly, an Indiana Democrat, asked Scaparrotti whether the Russians should be told that "next time it doesn't end well for you." The general responded that "we should engage them and make clear what's acceptable. Once we make that known, we have to enforce it. "I think they're pushing the envelope in terms of our resolve," Scaparrotti added. "It's absolutely reckless, it's unjustified and it's dangerous." As NATO commander, he said one of his first actions would be to review the rules of engagement for U.S. and allied forces in the region. On Monday, two Russian Su-24 fighters made numerous, close-range and low-altitude passes while the U.S. guided missile destroyer USS Donald Cook was conducting landing drills with helicopters in the Baltic Sea. On Tuesday, a Russian helicopter circled around the Cook seven times at a low altitude. About 40 minutes later, two Su-24s made 11 close-range and low-altitude passes. Secretary of State John Kerry later said that the sailors of the Cook would have been justified in shooting down the Russian fighters. "It's unprofessional, and under the rules of engagement that could have been a shoot down, so people need to understand that this is serious business, and the United States is not going to be intimidated on the high seas," Kerry said in an interview on CNN Espanol. Scaparrotti, now commander of U.S. Forces Korea, was testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee at what could be called a historic confirmation hearing. Seated next to him at the witness table was Air Force Gen. Lori Robinson, currently commander of Pacific Air Forces, who has been nominated as the next commander of U.S. Northern Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). If confirmed, Robinson would become the first woman to command a combatant command. Both Robinson and Scaparrotti appeared headed to easy confirmation. "I look forward to moving your nominations through the U.S. Senate," said McCain, an Arizona Republican and the SASC chairman.

Earthquake swarm in NW Arizona keeps rolling on

Posted: Apr 24, 2016 5:10 PM EST Updated: Apr 24, 2016 5:17 PM EST By Phil Benson PHOENIX (KPHO/KTVK)

More small earthquakes shook northwest Arizona Sunday adding to the list of temblors that have struck the area since March 29.The Arizona Geological Survey said two quakes occurred, including a magnitude 2.6 quake at 12:07 a.m. There has been a swarm of 21 quakes in an area along the Arizona-Nevada line south-southwest of Littlefield, AZ, which is also close to southwestern Utah and the frequency and span puzzles geologists. The survey said the area has several active faults and that its geologic features suggest there could be additional potentially active faults just north of the largest quake. The largest in the swarm was a magnitude 3.4 quake was reported at 2:23 a.m. on April 8.

Are you prepared to survive an active shooter style terrorist attack?

Not so ironically, I was in the process of writing an entire piece on how Islamic terrorist cells were already operating inside the United States and then the events in Brussels occurred. The Islamic terrorist attack pre-empted the article’s publishing and unfortunately proved the point I was making so I have since scrapped the article and instead decided to talk directly about preparing for and surviving an active shooter situation. The events in Brussels, Paris, Colorado, and California are all examples of active shooter scenarios and mark a deadly change of tactics that now show a bias for soft targets in gun free zones. This knowledge alone will help you prepare yourself and your family to survive in the event you find yourself confronted and possibly trapped in the midst of an attack. To survive, consider these simple points. Preparation is key to a successful outcome whether it be in war, a sports game, or a job interview. It is no different when it comes to self-preservation in the face of an active shooter. One must be mentally prepared to fight to the death. The first time you think about what you would do while at school or work or shopping when shots start ringing out should not be when it actually happens. Working through the problem sets in your head beforehand will enable you to act much more quickly and decisively under high stress, which is vital for survival. You should also constantly maintain a state of mild vigilance and never completely ignore your situational awareness. Take note of where exits are. Observe the people around you and their dispositions. Be aware enough to know if something doesn’t seem right or if it is out of place. If you get a gut feeling something isn’t right, exit immediately and leave the area. Once it is clear something has gone very bad, immediately seek to develop situation, make a plan, and act. Don’t waste time trying to get a perfect picture of what is going on. Take a quick assessment of the situation and then move. Don’t try to justify what you “think” you are witnessing as a drill or “not really happening.” Accept that you are in a life and death situation and act accordingly. If you can exit, do so fast and get away from the area. If you can’t, get to a hard point (a safer place that provides protection from bullets and ideally can be secured from the inside). If prepared and able, move to a position of advantage where you can ambush the attacker(s). If nothing else, just don’t allow yourself to get cornered and move to a spot where you can better observe what is going on and then react accordingly. If the situation persists, it is likely you can get information from local news on your cell phone or even better, download a police scanner application and activate it to listen to local police traffic. Just remember, you don’t want the noise to give away your position so silencing ringers is a good plan. Also, document what you can for the police and first responders via cell phone video or memory. If you are unfortunate enough to have a close encounter with the attackers, note the specific details of attackers to include number, descriptions, locations, and types of weapons. Word of the day: Prepare! And do it the old fashion way, like our fore-fathers did it and succeed long before us, because what lies ahead of us will require all the help we can get. Watch this video and learn the 3 skills that ensured our ancestors survival in hard times of famine and war. You should also be armed if at all possible. Training in advance is critical in this regard. Not only should you be physically fit, but have trained in hand-to-hand tactics and any weapon you may be carrying. Optimally, you will be carrying a concealed handgun and be very proficient with it. You might even have a go bag stashed at work with some extra tactical gear such as body armor, a knife, and some extra magazines. If you are unable to maintain proficiency and carry a concealed firearm then you should at least be very good with using the three most common improvised types of weapons such as a club (blunt trauma), a pointed weapon (penetrating trauma), or an edged weapon (combination). These would look a lot like an expandable baton, dagger, and sword or knife if professionally manufactured. However, they can be easily improvised from readily available materials. These could be anything from a broom stick and strong ink pen to a baseball bat, tire iron, broken bottle, belt with a buckle, kitchen knife, fireman’s axe, or even a sock full of change. Non-lethal weapons are not suitable for this type situation as an active shooter could easily fight through something like pepper spray and still kill you. Either way, if you are suddenly caught up in the midst of an attack, your best chance of survival will be to arm yourself so that you have a fighting chance as you make your way to help or an exit. If at all possible, completely avoid the attack. Note the location of the gunshots and the direction people are fleeing from. Naturally, go away from the sound of gunshots and explosions. However, do not necessarily follow the pack out an exit. It may be a trap and instead it would be much smarter and safer to take another route and exit even if it is from a window or hole busted in a wall. Attackers have been known to funnel people into kill zones where the doors are locked and attackers are waiting with weapons to shoot down every last person. If you must engage with an attacker or find yourself cornered, set up a hasty ambush. Attempt to put actual cover between you and the attacker. By cover I mean something that will actually stop a bullet like concrete and steel and not just a desk or door. Also try to use an angle. Attackers will be hyped up on adrenaline and will not have good situation awareness. In fact, it is likely they will have tunnel vision and you can use this to your advantage. Offset your ambush position from their likely avenue of approach. Don’t hide in front of a door, but rather, set up behind or beside it. It is even better if you can get above them because people rarely look up. You can improve this position by having a covered escape route and setting up a distraction to draw their attention away from your position if only for a second. Remember, they will likely be shooting everything that even looks suspicious so maintain your offset and cover. Also, try to change the lighting. If it is well lit outside, darken your location. If it is dark outside, make them walk into the light. The time it takes for their eyes to adjust gives you the split second advantage if you are prepared to act. If you don’t have the ultimate hiding spot, you should be ready to fight and position yourself within hand-to-hand range to ambush your attacker as soon as they come around the corner, enter the room, etc. If you can assemble anyone else to help in your ambush you will be far better off. Either way, as the attacker enters “your” kill zone, hit them hard, fast, and repeatedly until they are no longer a threat. Take their weapons and either reset your ambush now with firearms or evacuate to your closest exit. You must take on the mindset of hunter and turn the tables on your attackers to make them the hunted. If you cannot funnel your attackers into a close quarter’s ambush, set up your ambush so that you can assault them during a reload. As soon as you see an attacker have a malfunction or run out of ammo, you need to rapidly approach with stealth, speed, and violence. Use a club or combination weapon to dispatch the shooter as quickly as possible. If you can approach from behind do so and club them. Target the base of their skull for your strike. If your weapon is light weight like a broom stick, strike them across the side of the neck to disrupt blood flow and their nervous system. If you have a knife, thrust it in and up attacking the kidneys and diaphragm or stab down at an angle penetrating the soft pocket where the neck meets the shoulder and thrust and twist the knife toward the center line of the attacker. Repeat as necessary. If you are unarmed, rush the attacker from behind and using a double leg take down motion, lift and launch them forward. The body’s natural reaction will be to brake their fall and release their weapon. Then proceed to beat the living hell out of the attacker (preferably with the help of others) while keeping them away from the weapon. If you gain control of their weapon, use it on them. If you cannot get it to fire (remember, you attacked when their gun was down), use it to club the attacker. At this point it is absolutely necessary I point out what will now be by far your biggest danger. The danger you now face as an armed civilian is that the police and first responders will mistake you for one of the shooters and kill you. This danger is critically high even for police and has been a subject of constant discussion. My recommendation is once you are armed, to hard point and call the police. Give them your location, description, and make sure they know and put out to responding units that you are armed and inside. At this point they may direct you to come out or hold your position. Either way, it would be best to engineer the situation so that you do not have a chance encounter with a cop or SWAT team. If you are able to shoot your way through the attackers and stop the attack, convey this and wait for the cops to come in while talking directly with them on the phone. You may also want to put your weapon down near you once the threat is taken care of to further diminish the chances of accidentally being shot by a cop, but still retaining the weapon in case another attacker emerges. If you must exit, do so cautiously and methodically. DO NOT just burst out of the building with a weapon. This will most likely lead to bad things. Instead, if you made it this far safely and can see police on scene, then try to call out to a cop and let them know your situation. They may have you put the weapon down and walk out with your hands up. If you can’t see any police and the threat is still active, consider holstering your pistol or slinging the weapon and slowly exiting with your hands in the air. If you see any police, expect to be disarmed at gun point until things can be sorted out. Remember, no fast movements. A very dangerous natural reaction in these types of scenarios is for someone armed to spin quickly with their gun in the direction they hear a command. For example, if a cop sees you he may yell to you to freeze. Even though the command is simple, your natural and likely immediate reaction is to turn to see who is being addressed. This “furtive” movement will often be enough for a cop to shoot you if he doesn’t know who you are and sees that you have a gun. Cops also are trained to look for badges and “police” sashes. If you are going to draw a gun or take up a weapon in the fight during an active shooter situation, consider having with you and placing on a sash similar to the one advertised in the link above. This at least will give a cop a moment of pause before he or she pulls the trigger and has been shown in numerous law enforcement training scenarios to prevent “blue on blue” shootings. If you are captured as a hostage, don’t piss off your attackers any worse. If they want you to say something or sign something, do it. Don’t do it well, do it slow, and don’t make it easy for them, but do it. These types of attackers are not bound by laws and will kill you in a blink if you don’t comply. You must recognize that this isn’t a situation of state sponsored detention where resistance to demands is warranted or beneficial. Further, you need to humanize yourself by having them use your name, letting them know about your family, and making yourself not just a face, but a person. If you are injured ask for help. If you need water ask for it. If they refuse, at least try to treat yourself. This may be applying a tourniquet or pressure bandage to stop massive bleeding from a wound on you or a fellow hostage. Either way, a hostage taker is less likely to kill you first if they have a human connection with you. Also essential is that you listen and observe everything. Try to identify our captor’s motives and whether they are going to just kill you or try to ransom you. Most likely if it is an Islamic terrorist attack, they are going to try to kill everyone so you should prepare to seize the first good chance to attack them and or escape. If you have your phone, pass any information to authorities. If nothing else, just leave your phone on and keep it hidden so authorities can listen to the open line. Eventually, you will be searched by your attackers and any phones will be confiscated so get what information out you can. If you know your phone is about to be seized, try to leave it connected and place it in a hidden location so authorities can continue to listen in even after you have been searched. Note the number and location of the hostages as well as the number and location of the attackers and how they are armed. If you can pass descriptions of the attackers, their motives, and even names being used that is also very beneficial to the police. If it appears the attackers have explosive devices, absolutely pass this information. All of this information is critical for the hostage rescue team and will aid in your rescue and survival. Finally, if it is imminent the attackers are going to start killing hostages, try to get this information out to the police. This is a critical go/no-go criteria for launching a rescue operation and/or making your escape attempt. Let the police know if possible and what you plan to do. Remember, the attackers are going to kill you so it is better to go down fighting than to all die like sheep. In the interim, you should constantly be preparing escape plans. Locate your escape route, coordinate with other hostages if possible, prepare improvised weapons, and try to get out of any restraints. Also, design or be prepared to take advantage of distractions to launch your escape attempt. If a rescue operation is launched before you can escape, stay down and take cover. DO NOT grab a weapon and try to help because you will probably be mistakenly shot as a hostage. Just stay low and behind cover. However, if an attacker is going to kill you, yes, defend yourself and pray the rescue team is good enough to figure it out. Also, expect to be held at gunpoint and searched until the rescuers can sort out who is who. Once the rescue team secures the room, you will need to follow directions and move quickly to safety where you can expect to be further detained and questioned. This article is by no means the definitive work on surviving an active shooter style terrorist attack. However, it is designed to give you critical information you need to know to properly act and survive such an attack. For those of you interested in higher level training and consulting. Outside of formal training though, you can still do a lot to protect your life and the lives of those around you by simply preparing your mind and body ahead of time. This includes getting proficient with a firearm and carrying it with you. Ultimately, you can stack the odds in your favor by preparing now.

The new UN consensus on Syria: Israel must pay!

By Benny Avni April 26, 2016 | 7:28

The Bashar al-Assad regime is outraged. So angry, in fact, that on Tuesday it asked the UN Security Council to do something. And the council, including America, finally agreed on something regarding Syria: It must get back the Golan Heights from Israel. Not Raqqa, the capital of the ISIS caliphate, nor ancient Palmyra. Not northeast Syria, owned by the Kurds, nor the Syrian heartlands controlled by the al Qaeda-affiliated al-Nusra Front. And not the enclaves ruled by Druze and various warlords. Nah. After all, what are half a million lost Syrian lives compared to Syria’s wounded pride over events of a half-century ago? The Golan, which Israel annexed shortly after winning in a 1967 defensive war, is the itch that the Assad clan keeps scratching. This month Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened his cabinet’s weekly meeting on the Golan — a first. The high plateau will forever remain Israeli, he later declared. That declaration was “against all Security Council resolutions,” Rafael Dario Ramirez, the UN ambassador of Venezuela, told me Tuesday. So he and his Egyptian colleague called for a special meeting of the UN body charged with maintaining global peace and security. Later, all council members (including the United States) expressed “outrage” over Netanyahu’s statement. They recalled a 1981 resolution that declared that year’s annexation of the Golan by Israel “null and void, and without international legal effect.” On the Israeli side of the Golan you’ll find apple groves, quaint wineries and beer microbreweries — not to mention the Mideast’s best locally-grown steak (grass-fed and kosher, too). Also there, you can get closest to the raging war on the Syrian side without risking life or limb. That’s what UN peacekeepers do. They’ve been stationed on both sides of the border to observe a Syrian-Israeli ceasefire, since Damascus tried to wrest the Golan by force in 1973. Soon after the civil war erupted in 2012, Assad started neglecting the Golan. The border area was taken over by gangs, who discovered kidnapping UN peacekeepers is a lucrative business. The United Nations withdrew to the safety of the Israeli side, where it continues to periodically report on ceasefire violations by “both sides.” “Sides”? In Geneva, UN envoy Staffan de Mistura is trying in vain to get Syria’s numerous warring factions to negotiate with each other. He can’t even get them in the same hotel room. Indeed, the entire Mideast is involved in Syria’s multi-sided war, plus Russia and the United States. Assad controls a third of the country. No one knows how to end the carnage. Israel, miraculously, is the one Syrian neighbor to (mostly) stay out. It has its interests, of course. Last week Netanyahu confirmed reports of several successful attacks on convoys transferring arms to Hezbollah in Lebanon. He also flew to Moscow for a hastily arranged meeting with President Vladimir Putin, after Russian planes reportedly buzzed Israeli jets over Syrian skies. Netanyahu wanted to resume and tighten coordination with Moscow, to allow both countries to maintain their interests in Syria. Yet once Bibi publicly reasserted Israel’s hold over the Golan (perhaps for domestic political reasons), international-law eggheads jumped to Assad’s aid: He who can barely control his capital, Damascus, somehow has indisputable sovereignty over the Golan. Israel must return an occupied territory, goes the cry from Malaysia to Morocco. Return to whom? To al-Nusra or ISIS, which the entire world has declared unworthy of even participating in the Geneva peace talks? To Hezbollah, which tops the US terrorist list and now tries to establish a beachhead on the Golan? To Assad the butcher, who, according to President Obama, has lost legitimacy? Whatever. The Security Council, including America, called Tuesday for returning the Golan and, indeed, negotiating “to establish a comprehensive just and lasting peace in the Middle East.” Yes, in the past Netanyahu tried to negotiate a return of the strategic Golan to Syria. One of his successors may one day do so again, perhaps after Syria, a country that no longer really exists, is properly divided. But now? Those who think so must be off their meds.

‘We are a Muslim country’: Turkey’s parliament speaker advocates religious constitution

Published time: 26 Apr, 2016 08:57 Edited time: 26 Apr, 2016 11:02

Turkey, an overwhelmingly Muslim country, should have a constitution based on Islam rather than a secular constitution, the speaker of the Turkish parliament has said in a speech. Secularism has been the cornerstone of modern Turkey for decades. The founder of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, reshaped the collapsing Islamic Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century. He founded the state on Turkish nationalism and Western-style secularism, or separation of the state and religion. However, the currently ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) apparently wants to get rid of one of the pillars of Kemalism ideology. READ MORE: The end of "Secular Turkey" or Ottomans re-emergent? “We are a Muslim country and so we should have a religious constitution,” said Turkish Parliament Speaker Ismail Kahraman on Monday, lamenting that the name Allah is not mentioned even once in the country’s founding charter. “Secularism would not have a place in a new constitution,” he said. Kahraman was addressing an Islamic scholars and writers conference in Istanbul. As the head of the parliament, it’s Kahraman’s job to pen a new draft constitution for Turkey. AKP has its roots in political Islam and has been pushing for constitutional amendments during its 13-year rule in Turkey. It wants to empower the office of president from a purely ceremonial function to a fully-fledged head of state. Such a reform would benefit incumbent President Tayyip Erdogan, who traded the prime minister’s seat for that of the president’s in 2014. The reform was a major issue of last year’s general election, with AKP insisting that only strong presidential power can hold Turkey together against security threats such as the Kurdish insurgency. Critics say it would undermine Turkey’s civil rights and give dictatorial powers to Erdogan. Some say he wants to be a sultan, harking back to the Ottoman days. Turkish secularism did not become absolute even after Ataturk’s reforms. The country has a special government body tasked with promoting Islam, the Diyanet, and funds religious teaching. But AKP champions of political Islam such as the 75-year-old Kahraman want a far greater role for their religion. The Turkish opposition criticized the speaker’s words. Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the head of the secularist Republican People's Party (CHP), said that political Islam is the reason why the Middle East is in the grip of sectarian violence. “Secularism is the primary principle of social peace ... Secularism is there to ensure that everyone has religious freedom, Ismail Kahraman!" Kilicdaroglu tweeted. The speaker’s position was also opposed by the head of the parliament’s constitutional commission and fellow AKP member Mustafa Sentop, who said there were no plans to remove the concept of secularism from the future draft. The majority of Turkey’s 78-million population is Sunni Muslim, according to Reuters. About a fifth is estimated to be Alevi, which draws from Shia, Sufi and Anatolian folk traditions. There are about 100,000 Christians and 17,000 Jews living in the country.

Turkey Is Blind to Its Most Dangerous Foe

Garrett Krivicich April 26, 2016

With fierce clashes between Kurds and Turkish police causing mayhem throughout Turkey’s southeast, and Islamic State–related activity noticeably on the rise, there is no doubt that Turkey has a militancy problem. However, there is one group, commonly overlooked by the Turkish government, that likely poses the biggest threat. The Kurdistan Freedom Falcons (TAK) has already claimed three attacks in Turkey’s most populated locales, including a suicide bombing in Ankara’s central Güvenpark in March, a car bomb along Ankara’s Eskişehir Avenue in February and a mortar attack at Istanbul’s Sabiha Gökçen Airport last December. However, this group continues to operate under the radar. This is mostly due to how the militants are perceived. While the Turkish government sees the TAK and the well-known Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) as one and the same, the TAK has been able to create its own organizational structure. Under the guise of being just more PKK militants, the TAK has operated independently and staged two large-scale attacks in the center of Turkey’s capital, thus proving the danger that it truly presents. While the facts surrounding the rise of the TAK are fuzzy, it is evident that this group came out of the PKK movement, likely in the beginning of the twenty-first century. However, as these militants coalesced, there was no denying the stark contrast with their Kurdish counterparts. The PKK, which originally began as a radical Kurdish separatist group determined to form an independent Kurdistan, has toned down its rhetoric dramatically in recent years. These days, the group’s main objective is Kurdish autonomy, particularly in Turkey’s southeast. Yet the TAK has not forgotten its original motive, and while the PKK has largely kept the recent conflict concentrated to the southern and eastern provinces, the TAK has taken the fight elsewhere—namely Ankara. This is because the main goal of the Falcons, according to their no longer accessible website, is the “wholesale destruction” of the Turkish state. These militants view the policies of the PKK as too humane, and instead advocate for Turkey’s demise. To do this, they promise that they will target the country’s touristic and most commercialized areas in order to deal a real blow to the country’s economy. The militant group also declares that it will issue a “merciless and unhesitant response to the Turkish fascist state.” Yet despite this obvious threat, Turkish authorities have largely treated the Kurdish issue as a unitary problem, and categorized this group as a mere PKK affiliate. Even when the TAK claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing attack in Ankara’s Güvenpark that killed nearly thirty people on March 13, the Turkish government linked the incident to the PKK.

US ready to offer Israel largest aid package in history

Amid push by senators, White House official says talks with Israeli officials ongoing to secure ‘largest single pledge’ of military assistance

By Raoul Wootliff and Times of Israel staff April 26, 2016, 5:28 am

A White House official indicated on Monday that the Obama administration was ready to offer Israel the largest military aid package offered to any country over the course of US history. Amid a push by a large majority of senators to increase foreign aid to Israel, a White House official told Reuters: “We are prepared to sign an MOU [memorandum of understanding] with Israel that would constitute the largest single pledge of military assistance to any country in US history.” The official said discussions with Israel were ongoing on a memorandum of understanding that would increase US military aid to Israel for the next 10 years, due to be renewed before 2018. More than 80 of the 100 sitting US senators signed a letter Monday calling on President Barack Obama to increase aid to Israel and immediately sign an agreement on a new defense package. Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is not one of the 83 signatories. “In light of Israel’s dramatically rising defense challenges, we stand ready to support a substantially enhanced new long-term agreement to help provide Israel the resources it requires to defend itself and preserve its qualitative military edge,” said the letter, which was seen by Reuters. Republican Lindsey Graham and Democrat Chris Coons were behind the letter, which was signed by 51 Republican and 32 Democratic senators. Republican presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz was one of the signatories, while Sanders was not. Due to expire in 2018, the current aid package stands at $3 billion annually, and, according to reports, Israel wants to up the amount to $5 billion annually. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has hinted he may wait to negotiate with Obama’s successor to try and secure a better deal. Israel welcomed the reports but did not comment on the status of talks over the deal. Speaking to The Times of Israel last month, chairman of the Senate’s Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs Lindsey Graham vowed to “do everything I can to squeeze some money out of a tight budget to help increase funding for Israel.”“Israel has to decide what to do and when to do it. But I can say this: we’ll have more money this year than potentially next year, because sequestration kicks back in,” he explained, referring to spending cuts the US federal government enacted in 2013. During a visit to Israel last month, US Vice President Joe Biden reportedly warned Netanyahu that the aid package will be less than what Jerusalem seeks, but offered reassurances the amount would reflect the security needs of the country. During Biden’s meeting with Netanyahu, described by an Israeli official as “friendly, cordial and warm,” the vice president urged the prime minister to accept the offer, assuring him the agreement could always be amended at a later date. A White House official indicated on Monday that the Obama administration was ready to offer Israel the largest military aid package offered to any country over the course of US history.

Philippine officials work to ID body found near where John Ridsdel was slain

Forensic experts testing remains discovered after Canadian hostage executed by Abu Sayyaf militants

The Associated Press Posted: Apr 27, 2016 4:17 AM ET Last Updated: Apr 27, 2016 5:14 AM ET

Philippine police forensic experts were checking if a headless body of a Caucasian man found by villagers in a southern province is that of a Canadian hostage beheaded this week by Muslim extremists, officials said Wednesday. The body was found beside a dry creek in a mountainous clearing near Talipao town in Sulu province, where Abu Sayyaf militants beheaded John Ridsdel after failing to get a huge ransom by a Monday deadline. Suspected militants later dumped Ridsdel's head in Sulu's Jolo town. Philippines pressured to find group that beheaded Ridsdel Execution renews debate over whether to pay ransoms Trudeau says Canada 'will not pay ransom to terrorists' Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned the brutal killing of Ridsdel, who was kidnapped with a fellow Canadian, a Norwegian and a Filipino woman from a southern marina on Samal island in September and taken by boat to Sulu. In Canada, Trudeau said he spoke with Philippine President Benigno Aquino III about possible actions against the kidnappers. "The discussions I had with President Aquino and are continuing to have with our allies in the Philippines is the need to bring these criminals to justice and to do whatever we can to express that we are very concerned about security of Canadians," Trudeau said. The Canadian leader stressed that "we will not pay a ransom." Troops search for remaining captives Under increased pressure, thousands of troops have been searching for the militants and their remaining 22 foreign captives, including those abducted with Ridsdel. They face a dilemma of how to wage an offensive against about 400 militants in Sulu's vast jungle without endangering the hostages. About 2,000 military personnel, backed by UH-1 "Huey" and MG520 rocket-firing helicopters and artillery, are involved in the manhunt for the militants, who are believed to be massing in Sulu's mountainous Patikul town, military officials said. Amid the crisis, a top army official in Sulu, Brig. Gen. Alan Arrojado, resigned Tuesday from his brigade "due to conflict of approach in addressing the Abu Sayyaf threats" in the province. He did not elaborate. The Abu Sayyaf began a series of large-scale abductions after it emerged in the early 1990s as an offshoot of a separatist rebellion by minority Muslims in the southern Philippines. It has been weakened by more than a decade of government offensives, but has endured largely as a result of large ransom and extortion earnings. The United States and the Philippines have both listed the group as a terrorist organization.

America Is Starting To Look Like Rome Before It Collapsed

Are we witnessing the beginning of the end for the United States of America? All great nations eventually fall, and the United States is not going to be any exception. Many of those that write about the decline of our once great country tend to focus on external threats, and there are certainly many that could be talked about. But perhaps even more ominous is the internal societal meltdown that we see happening all around us. According to Real Clear Politics, recent surveys show that 67 percent of Americans believe that the country is on the wrong track, and only 26 percent of Americans believe that it is headed in the right direction. So even though we are tremendously divided as to what the solutions are, the vast majority of us can see that something is deeply, deeply wrong with America. Personally, I spend a lot of time writing about our economic problems. We have piled up the largest mountain of debt in the history of the planet, last year the middle class became a minority for the first time in our history, and 47 percent of all Americans couldn't even pay an unexpected $400 emergency room bill without borrowing the money or selling something. But I don't want to focus on economics in this article. Neither do I plan to focus on our political problems. The fact that somewhere around half the country plans to vote for Hillary Clinton in November shows just how far gone we are as a nation. And the Republican Party is essentially just a watered-down version of the Democrats at this point. On average, Congress has just a 14.5 percent approval rating, and yet we keep sending the same corrupt politicians back to Washington D.C. time after time. What in the world is wrong with us? Physically we are a giant mess too. According to USA Today, the obesity rate in the United States has more than doubled over the past 25 years, and the OECD has found that the U.S. has the most overweight population in the entire industrialized world by a wide margin. But our physical problems are not going to be the focus of this article either. Instead, I want to focus on what is going on inside our heads and inside our hearts. I want to focus on our mental, emotional and spiritual problems. Alvin Conway of The Extinction Protocol has been chronicling global disasters for years, and he has just posted an insightful piece in which he comments on the growing social decay that we see all around us... According to Covenant Eyes, an internet search group, 1 out of 5 mobile searches on the internet involves pornography. Illegal drugs continue to be both manufactured and transported into the U.S. with no apparent way of halting or stopping the flow. In the US alone, more than 15 million people abuse prescription drugs, more than the combined number of people who reportedly abuse cocaine, hallucinogens, inhalants and heroin. If the war against drugs can't be won, what luck will we ever have winning the war on terror? Does anyone remember who won Lyndon B. Johnson's famed war on poverty? Regardless, let's throw some more taxpayers' money at an issues that money along can't fix. Later in his article, Conway goes on to link this social decay with the spiritual decline of our nation... According to Pew Forum, the number of people who claim to be religious in America is declining as the country becomes more and more secular. "Research Center finds that the percentage of adults (ages 18 and older) who describe themselves as Christians has dropped by nearly eight percentage points in just seven years, from 78.4% in an equally massive Pew Research survey in 2007 to 70.6% in 2014. Over the same period, the percentage of Americans who are religiously unaffiliated - describing themselves as atheist, agnostic or "nothing in particular" - has jumped more than six points, from 16.1% to 22.8%." The U.S. is beginning to look more and more like ancient Rome before it collapsed. I agree with Conway. America is starting to look more and more like the Roman Empire just before it collapsed. A nation is only as strong as its population, and right now we are quite a disaster. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the suicide rate in the United States has spiked to the highest level in almost 30 years. The following is an excerpt from a Washington Post article entitled "U.S. suicide rate has risen sharply in the 21st century"... The U.S. suicide rate has increased sharply since the turn of the century, led by an even greater rise among middle-aged white people, particularly women, according to federal data released Friday. Last decade's severe recession, more drug addiction, "gray divorce," increased social isolation, and even the rise of the Internet and social media may have contributed to the growth in suicide, according to a variety of people who study the issue. That same article goes on to say that the suicide rate in this country increased by a whopping 24 percent from 1999 to 2014. Is that a sign of a healthy nation? At this point things have gotten so bad that even 70 percent of our pastors are battling depression. The following was authored by respected journalist Jennifer LeClaire... There is no lack of statistics about pastors and depression, burnout, health, low pay, spirituality, relationships and longevity--and none of them are good. According to the Schaeffer Institute, 70 percent of pastors constantly fight depression, and 71 percent are burned out. Meanwhile, 72 percent of pastors say they only study the Bible when they are preparing for sermons; 80 percent believe pastoral ministry has negatively affected their families; and 70 percent say they don't have a close friend. The Schaeffer Institute also reports that 80 percent of seminary and Bible school graduates will leave the ministry within five years. We are a deeply, deeply unhappy nation, and we have been trained to turn to pills as the solution. According to research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, 59 percent of all U.S. adults are on at least one prescription drug at this point, and 15 percent of all U.S. adults are on at least five prescription drugs. Those are absolutely astounding numbers to me. We are the most drugged up nation on the face of the planet, and yet we just keep on getting less happy. Here are some more selected numbers from a previous article that back up that claim... -Back in 1987, 61.1 percent of all Americans reported being happy at work. Today, 52.3 percent of all Americans say that they are unhappy at work. -A different survey found that 70 percent of all Americans do not "feel engaged or inspired at their jobs". -One survey of 50-year-old men in the U.S. found that only 12 percent of them said that they were "very happy". -The number of Americans diagnosed with depression increases by about 20 percent each year. -According to the New York Times, more than 30 million Americans take antidepressants. -Doctors in the United States write more than 250 million prescriptions for antidepressants each year. -The rate of antidepressant use among middle aged women is far higher than for the population as a whole. It is hard to believe, but right now one out of every four women in their 40s and 50s is taking an antidepressant medication. -Compared to children in Europe, children in the United States are three times more likely to be prescribed antidepressants. -In America today, there are 60 million people that abuse alcohol and there are 22 million people that use illegal drugs. -America has the highest rate of illegal drug use on the entire planet. -America has the highest divorce rate in the world by a wide margin. -America has the highest percentage of one person households on the entire planet. -100 years ago, 4.52 people were living in the average U.S. household, but now the average U.S. household only consists of 2.59 people. We are more isolated, more lonely and more miserable than we have ever been before. But does that mean that we are on the verge of collapsing as a nation? Just like during the days of the Roman Empire, most Americans cannot even conceive of a time when America will be no more. And yet we can all see that the foundations are being constantly chipped away at. Will we be able to survive once our foundations are totally gone?

Another Link Between Hamas and BDS

April 25, 2016 7:43 am 1 comment

The terrorist organization Hamas and the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS) share a common goal: the elimination of the Jewish state of Israelone with rockets, tunnels, suicide bombers and explosives placed to kill the maximum number of civilians; the other with words and actions to demonize Israel, turning it into a pariah not worthy of its own state in the Middle East. The Hamas Charter states, “Israel will exist, and will continue to exist, until Islam abolishes it….There is no solution to the Palestinian problem except by Jihad.” Senior Hamas official Izzat al-Risheq openly admits that the ultimate goal of BDS is to destroy Israel and calls for escalating BDS “to isolate the occupation and end the existence of its usurper entity.” Palestinian Omar Barghouti, a founding member of BDS, contends, “A Jewish state in Palestine in any shape or form cannot but contravene the basic rights of the indigenous Palestinian…most definitely we oppose a Jewish state in any part of Palestine….Ending the occupation doesn’t mean anything if it doesn’t mean upending the Jewish state itself.” Since the goals of Hamas and BDS intersect, it’s not surprising that former US Treasury terrorism analyst Jonathan Schanzer recently testified before two subcommittees of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs about a troubling link between a major American funder of the US BDS campaign and the terrorist organization Hamas. Using available “open source” information, it’s possible to examine past associations of individuals now active in American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), a major supporter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), the campus arm of the American BDS movement. From this data, Schanzer, now working for the Foundation in Defense of Democracies (FDD), concluded that “at least seven individuals who work for or on behalf of AMP have worked for or on behalf of organizations previously shut down or held civilly liable in the United States for providing financial support to Hamas: the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF), the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP) and the Kind Hearts Foundation for Humanitarian Development” (KindHearts). According to Schanzer’s testimony, the US Treasury, in 2001, designated HLF the US financing arm of Hamas. From 1995 to 2001, “HLF sent approximately $12.4 million outside of the United States with the intent to willfully contribute funds, goods, and services to Hamas.” Seven officials were indicted and the organization was closed down. Three individuals from HLF now work for or on behalf of AMP: Hossein Khatib, a board member for AMP and former regional director for HLF; Jamal Said, keynote speaker at AMP fundraisers and an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial against HLF; and Salah Sarsour, AMP board member who spent eight months in an Israeli jail for his Hamas activity. Islamic Association for Palestine also raised money and provided material support for Hamas in America. IAP was found civilly liable in federal district court for supporting Hamas and it subsequently disbanded. FDD discovered that four former IAP operatives now are involved with AMP: Rafeeq Jaber, former president of IAP and current representative and tax preparer for AMP; Sufian Nabhan, AMP board member and IAP’s former Michigan representative; Osama Abu Irshaid, current National Coordinator for AMP and former editor of IAP’s newspaper; and Abdelbasset Hamayel, previously IAP’s secretary general and KindHearts’ Illinois representative and now a director for AMP. The US Treasury froze KindHearts’ assets for providing support for terrorism and it disbanded. Working closely with Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) provides money, speakers, training, printed materials and campus coordinators to student activists. It spent $100,000 on campus activities in 2014. AMP is a corporate not-for-profit, but not a federal 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. It uses the 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization Americans for Justice in Palestine Educational Foundation (AJP) as a fiscal sponsor, gives its money to AJP, who then disburses it to SJP and other BDS groups — a very convenient relationship that limits transparency. In the interest of transparency and national security, Schanzer urges Congress to legislate a disclosure process for tax-exempt organization employees and board members previously implicated in terror finance, requiring full release of prior histories to the IRS. He criticizes the US Treasury for no longer giving sufficient attention to terror financing, commenting, “After notching eight terrorist designations of domestic charities over the last 15 years, the pace has slowed to a crawl.” Schanzer notes that while “our open source research did not indicate that AMP or any of these individuals are currently involved in any illegal activity,” the presence of operatives of former terror financing organizations in the leadership of AMP, an American charity, is significant, highly suspicious and demands further investigation by the federal government. The infiltration of Hamas terror financers into a major American BDS-funding group should be a wake-up call to naïve college students and BDS apologists who think the BDS campaign is all about human rights and “ending the occupation.” Remember Cervantes’ observation — “Tell me thy company, and I’ll tell thee who thou art.” Ziva Dahl is a fellow with the Haym Salomon Center with a Master of Arts degree in public law and government from Columbia University and an A.B. in political science from Vassar College.

New Evidence: Baby Body Parts are Big Business

Evan Wilt | WORLD News Service | Tuesday, April 26, 2016

The House Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives released new evidence April 19 of procurement businesses selling aborted baby body parts for profit.

Amid growing optimism surrounding fetal tissue research in 1993, Congress lifted the ban on obtaining samples from abortion centers. The move was a bipartisan effort and included many safeguards designed to ensure the sale of baby body parts never became a money-making business. According to evidence obtained from tissue procurement companies, those safeguards failed. The House panel released the new documents ahead of its second congressional hearing. The papers show middleman businesses, separate from abortion centers and research facilities, profit between 300 and 400 percent from each sample of fetal tissue sold. Last summer, undercover videos collected by David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress showed abortion facilities might be part of a fetal tissue procurement network designed to profit from the sale of baby body parts. Congress established the House panel in October to investigate questions raised by the videos, including federal funding and support for abortion providers, such as Planned Parenthood, and the ethics and policies surrounding fetal tissue procurement. The National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act of 1993 reversed the ban on fetal tissue transplantation research procurement. At that time, two competing amendments in the House offered safeguards on the operation—one filed by former Rep. Thomas Bliley Jr., R-Va., and one by former Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif. Waxman’s version eventfully won out, creating the guidelines for how fetal tissue procurement should work. “It would be abhorrent to allow for a sale of fetal tissue and a market to be created for that sale,” Waxman said during floor debates. To ensure abortion centers would not suffer from the added cost of providing tissue samples to researchers, the statute allowed for reimbursements equal to related expenditures. Congress crafted a non-profit model that allowed researchers to pay abortion centers and abortionists equal to the amount of transportation, storage, or other costs related to the process. Waxman even included a 10-year felony charge in the statute for anyone who violated the system. After investigating one of the procurement businesses that can only operate legally as a non-profit middleman, the panel found its annual revenue grew from $9,000 in 2010 to more than $6 million in 2014. The panel did not make the company’s name public. The business operates by taking orders from researchers and partnering with abortion centers to keep its supply in stock. In 2010, the procurement business had three partner abortion centers, and before the undercover videos came out, it was on track to have about 300 by 2016. The panel will argue today that a business cannot grow at that torrid pace without making a profit. But many continue to question the validity of those concerns. Last week during a town hall hosted by MSNBC, Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd told Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz the scandal surrounding Planned Parenthood and procurement businesses was “made up.” “Let me tell you what there is no controversy about, it is a federal crime—a felony with a 10-year prison term—to sell the body parts of unborn children for profit,” Cruz retorted. “Listen, even if you’re pro-choice, selling the body parts of unborn children as a commercial endeavor is a horrifying thing.” During the panel’s first hearing, Rep. Diane Black, R-Tenn., called one fetal tissue procurement business “the Amazon.com for human parts.” The panel saved several screen grabs from recently shuttered websites that allowed customers to add baby organs such as brains, hearts, lungs, and livers to virtual shopping carts. Customers could select how many samples of each they wanted and from what gestational periods. Prices were highest for babies at 14-19 weeks gestation.

Trump Is Crushing All Resistance-The Criminal Elite Are Running Scared

Dave Hodges

It all comes down to this! In a set of five primaries in the Northeast, Trump destroyed the competition by not just winning the elections; he garnered nearly 60% of the vote in a three-person race. This is unheard of. RNC officials are quaking in their boots because they know that if they steal the election from Trump, America’s response will be extremely volatile. There would nowhere that these GOP election thieves can hide and they know it. After his clean sweep, Trump declared himself to be the presumptive GOP nominee for President. Is he correct? Below, Trump tells America, in his own words, where the nomination process is at. The White Middle Class Is Fighting for Its Collective Lives Trump is a candidate that passes through all racial and economic barriers, minus the super-rich. Why? Because he is threatening to stop the stranglehold that the corporations have on this country. Trump promises to restore Constitutional principles to our government. If you do not believe he is sincere, he is sure taking a lot of heat to make his points to the American people. For example, Trump seeks to stops free trade agreements which have bankrupted millions of Americans. He has promised to stop an out of control immigration/refugee policy which constitutes a clear and present danger to all Americans with the increased risk of terrorism. However, the white middle class is cracking. White, middle-class America is currently witnessing a trend curve which suggests that their future holds the promise of lowered life-expectancy, less economic opportunity, and the emergence of high-risk behaviors which have outpaced medical advances. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s data shows that life’s expectancy for white women declined from 2013 to 2014. Further the white working class is in a “slow motion economic and social melt-down”. Death rates for the white working class are increasing at alarming rates. For middle class workers in developed countries, the mortality rate declines 2% per year compared to a decade ago. However, the trend in America is just the opposite. American mortality rates have increased over the same time frame. The American middle class, particularly whites, have been targeted by the establishment (e.g. Obamacare, quota systems, differential public assistance rates which follows along racial lines). Feelings of hopelessness may not be a condition that we can easily quantify, however, hopelessness is the best predictor of suicide. Before non-whites breath a sigh of relief, and say “thank God that is not me”, the truth is that you are next. Whites have occupied more positions in the middle class. Therefore, just from a numbers perspective, we would expect to see these negative trend curves in white’s first since America is in a top-down meltdown. What all of us are/will experience are the unmistakable stress-related effects of living under an increasingly totalitarian regime with a far greater reduced set of opportunities. Today, it is white people in the middle class who are bearing the brunt of the globalist assault, tomorrow, it will be everybody else’s turn. Retarding the Globalist Takeover In the Texas war for independence against Santa Anna and the nation of Mexico, the defenders of the Alamo did not give up their lives in vain. There courageous stand allowed Sam Houston more time to adequately prepare for the war’s decisive battle of San Jacinto. Donald Trump’s campaign is having the same effect. Not only is Trump waking up the masses, he is delaying the final push for globalist subjugation, while we are being given an opportunity to mount a defense. How anyone could look at todays’ events and think the country is not in a very bad place is beyond my comprehension. We are in a war that the media all but ignores. The war consists humanity vs. the globalists. This means that all middle class and working class and poor should be united against the criminal elite that run this country! However, we let the establishment divide and conquer this country (eg rich vs poor, black vs white). I believe we have one last chance to unite against the evil that would destroy us and Donald Trump is the manifestation of our resistance. To women who support Clinton because she’s a woman, you are part of the problem. To African-Americans who support Obama for no other reason than he is black, you are part of the problem. In this new war of divide and conquer, you only need to know one thing to begin playing on the right team. Are you super-rich? If not, you better get behind Trump.

US unions plan attack on Donald Trump in attempt to derail presidential bid

Concerned labor group leaders are organizing ad campaigns and phone banks as Trump’s populist message on trade and jobs draws in union voters

Lauren Gambino and Jana Kasperkevic in New York Tuesday 26 April 2016 07.00 EDT

The prospect of a Donald Trump nomination has labor leaders scrambling to hold the line as the Republican frontrunner’s appeal to disaffected working-class voters threatens to upset the traditional political calculus. The majority of America’s almost 15 million unionized workers can be usually be relied upon to back the Democratic candidate in a presidential year, but leaders are concerned by Trump’s populist message on trade and jobs – and his insistence that union workers are just one of many groups on a long list of those he claims “love” him. “We can’t be fooled,” Richard Trumka, president of AFL-CIO, America’s largest federation of labor unions, implored his 12.5 million members at the organization’s annual convention in Philadelphia this month. “Trump isn’t interested in solving the problems he yells and swears about. He delivers punch lines, but there’s nothing funny about them.” As Hillary Clinton looks to push away the threat from Bernie Sanders with further wins in a slate of Democratic primaries across the north-east on Tuesday, organized labor is planning a multi-pronged assault on Trump in an effort to undercut his appeal and derail his presidential bid to the White House. “Trump has some appeal at this point, there’s no question about that,” said Steve Rosenthal, former political director for AFL-CIO. “But when you cut through it and begin to focus on his record – from his talk about trade agreements, to manufacturing abroad to offshoring jobs – Donald Trump is not going to appeal to union members.” In the coming months, the AFL-CIO, which has not endorsed a candidate in the primary but has encouraged members to support the Democratic nominee, will launch digital attack ads against Trump and will ramp up its door-knocking campaign. The Service Employees International Union, which has endorsed Clinton, has organized phone banks for her nationwide, including most recently in Pennsylvania in the hope of getting out the vote on behalf of Democrats. Yet Trump is resonating with voters who are struggling to make ends meet and who are seeing their friends’ jobs shipped abroad, says John Cakmakci, president of United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 951 in Michigan. And some of those voters are union members. Trump’s populist positions on trade and his rejection of Washington politics have earned him votes across the Rust Belt, where several battleground states are key to winning the election in November. “[Trump] portrays himself as someone who is going to get it done: ‘I am going to get these jobs back.’ But the fact of the matter is: how are you going to get them back? But people don’t want to know that. They just like that five-second simple solution to the problem,” he said. He added that Trump’s promises appeal to both Republicans and Democrats. While unions still tend to lean Democratic, their rank-and-file members are increasingly split between the parties. In 2008, about 39% of households with union members cast their vote for Republican John McCain and in 2012 40% voted for Mitt Romney. Working America, the political organizing arm of AFL-CIO, wanted to find out whether Trump’s “rightwing” message appealed to workers outside Cleveland and Pittsburgh. After interviewing about 1,689 working-class Americans living in households earning less than $75,000, they found out that Trump was in fact the favored candidate. Of the 800 voters who had decided on a candidate at the time of the interview, about 300 favored Trump. Combined, the two Democratic candidates appealed to fewer workers – 174 chose Clinton and 95 chose Sanders. “While most of Trump’s support comes from the staunch Republican base, one in four Democrats who chose a candidate showed a preference for Trump,” said Working America’s report. The majority of respondents said they supported the candidate because of his pugnacious personality rather than for, say, his position on trade. On Tuesday, Jared Szczesny, a card-carrying member of the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America Union (UAW), will cast his vote for Trump in Pennsylvania’s primary. In 2008 and 2012, UAW endorsed President Obama. This time UAW has yet to endorse a candidate, but is likely to back a Democrat. Szczesny, 31, has never attended a Trump rally. He works seven days a week and has not been able to find the time. However, back in October, he picked up Trump’s book The Art of the Deal. When he finished it, he knew that Trump had his vote. About 127 miles north of Pittsburgh and 100 miles east of Cleveland is Erie, Pennsylvania, where Szczesny lives. He works for Accuride Wheel End Solutions, where he spends his afternoons at the plant, operating a machine that cuts wheels from steel and aluminum. Erie is one of the cities left behind by the US economic recovery. In 2014, the median household income in Erie city was $33,007, and more than 27% of its residents were living in poverty. “I work a half of a block from GE, where layoffs come in the thousands every couple of years or so,” said Szczesny. GE Transportation is part of General Electric; in November the GE locomotive manufacturing plant in Erie laid off 1,500 of its 4,500 workers. “There are no jobs around here. People scrounge for work, or work multiple jobs. I get tired of seeing my family and friends, and loved ones struggling over financial issues so often.” It is Trump’s business acumen that appeals to Szczesny and a handful of his coworkers, who he says will also be voting for Trump. “He is not a typical politician. He has been in the working world, even as a young boy building houses with his father. He’s not a career politician. He cares about jobs,” he said. Earlier this month, Trump stood before nearly 9,000 supporters in Pittsburgh and promised to revive the steel and coal industries in the area if he became president. “There are few places that have been more devastated by our trade policies than Pittsburgh. Don’t worry, we’re bring it all back,” said Trump. Szczesny hopes so. It’s why when he votes in Pennsylvania’s primary on Tuesday, it will be for Trump. “I am very conservative and do not agree with everything Mr Trump says or does, but I recognize him as the best candidate, and a great one at that,” he said.

WW3 Unfolding Before Our Eyes: Russia Reacts To Pentagon's Threats, Deploys Navy To Baltic Sea For Live Fire Exercises As US Destroyer Goes 'Weapons Hot' In Mediterranean Drill

April 27, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

In a story reported on ANP yesterday called "Alarm Bells Ringing", we referenced a story from SHTFPlan's Jeremiah Johnson in which he warned that we're approaching a possible 'end game' as the United States has created a climate that could easily be transformed into a war. We were told that both the US and Russia have been positioning themselves along 'Cold War' lines and as we learn in the brand new videos below and the stories linked within, that 'Cold War' could turn hot at a moment's notice and as ANP has previously reported, many believe a World War 3 might be over before most people even knew it had begun. Several stories that Steve Quayle linked to on his website this morning show us the big picture that we'll never get from the CIA-controlled mainstream media and this first story helps tell us why: from Sputnik News we learn that press freedom has dropped to its lowest point in 12 years. As Billy Corgan, lead singer of the Smashing Pumpkins recently told Infowars, if we lose the 1st Amendment, we lose everything. Websites like the Drudge Report, Steve Quayle.com, Infowars, SHTFPlan, Zero Hedge and All News Pipeline are canaries in the coal mine and should they be taken down permanently, readers will know beyond a doubt that we have passed the rubicon crossing. Also linked on Quayle's site was a story from Russia Insider called "Obama Requests Military Support For Possible War Against Russia" as also detailed in the 1st video below. Why would our Nobel Peace prize winning president do such a thing or is this just more proof he could care less if billions around the world soon die in nuclear annihilation due to his actions? From Russia Insider: The only rational response by the Western public to what Obama and his foreign allies are doing is to recognize what is actually happening and to take action against their own leaders, before this increasingly high-stakes confrontation becomes terminal. In this instance, the people of the countries that comprise the political West need to defend themselves against their own national leaders. This is a situation that is frequently encountered in dictatorships. The key questions are not being asked in the Western press, however; they are being ignored by it. Unless these questions are publicly dealt with — and soon — the answer to them all could well be terminal for millions of civilians in Europe and elsewhere. the closer things get to a nuclear war, the more difficult it is for either side to back down from it — and this is especially the case with the aggressor, most especially when it falsely claims that it is being aggressed-against. This is the reason why the lies peddled by the political leadership of the West urgently need to be exposed. As we learn from Gary Franchi of the Next News Network in the 4th video below, 25,000 Russian troops will be holding major drills, partially in response to those recent threats made by the Obama administration, and have deployed a Naval fleet to the Baltic for live fire exercises as also heard in the 3rd video below. To round things out nicely, the US destroyer The Porter is conducting live weapons fire in the Mediterranean Sea as also heard in the 2nd video below. With all of these live fire exercises, how long until all of this turns 'hot'? According to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, it's high time to drop the West's policy of restraining Russia. Lavrov also threatens that Russia's relationships with the US and the West will never be the same again. Russia's Ambassador to NATO, Alexander Grushko, recently made the following statement: “This is about attempts to exercise military pressure on Russia. We will take all necessary measures, precautions, to compensate for these attempts to use military force.” Is the 'NWO' upset with Putin because he wants nothing at all to do with a 'cashless society' and wants a gold backed currency as heard in the 5th video below? As Gerald Celente has often said, when the financial system fails, they'll bring us to war. As these videos and the stories linked within here prove, we're quickly heading in that direction and we may be very close to that point where there will be nothing to possibly stop it from happening. To close from SHTFPlan.: To summarize, akin to ancient Rome, the United States has over-extended herself. She has created a climate that could easily be transformed into a war on a slight pretext. Wars, as it is well known are also a means a nation can extricate itself from debt and financial responsibility. The dying Petrodollar system has been on life support for some time, and it appears other nations such as the BRIC’s are taking the initiative to return to a true monetary standard. This is the same gold and silver standard that the U.S. should never have left in the first place.

Obama Requests Military Support for Possible War Against Russia

Eric Zuesse Subscribe to Eric Zuesse (Off Guardian) Subscribe to Off Guardian Sun, Apr 24, 2016 |

Originally appeared at Off Guardian

According to an April 23rd article carried by Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten (German Economic News), U.S. President Barack Obama is “demanding the active deployment of the Bundeswehr [Germany’s armed forces, including their Army, Navy, and Air Force] to NATO’s eastern borders” at Poland and the Baltic republics, to join the quadrupling of America’s forces there, on and near the borders of Russia. This is an extreme violation of what Russian leader Mikhail Gorbachev agreed to when he ended the Soviet Union and its NATO-mirror organization the Warsaw Pact, but it’s actually culminating a process that began shortly after he agreed to America’s terms, which included that NATO “not move one inch to the east.” Hannover, Germany with the leaders of Germany (Angela Merkel), Italy (Matteo Renzi), France (Francois Hollande), and Britain (David Cameron). The presumed objective of this meeting is to agree to establish in the NATO countries bordering on Russia a military force of these five countries, a force threatening Russia with an invasion, if or when NATO subsequently decides that the ‘threat from Russia’ be ‘responded to’ militarily. NATO’s encirclement of Russia with forces hostile to it is supposedly defensive — not an offensive operation — against Russia and is presented as such by our media. During the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, J. F. Kennedy didn’t consider Nikita Khrushchev’s plan to base nuclear missiles in Cuba to be ‘defensive’ on the USSR’s part — and neither does Russia’s President Vladimir Putin consider America’s far bigger operation of surrounding Russia with such weapons to be ‘defensive’. The U.S. government, and NATO, act as if Russia is threatening them rather than them threatening and encircling Russia — and their news media transmit this lie as if it were a truth and one worthy of being taken seriously. In actual fact, NATO has already expanded right up to Russia’s western borders. Obama is thus now adding to the economic sanctions against Russia that he had imposed because of Russia’s alleged ‘seizure’ of Crimea from Ukraine after the US and EU engineered coup overthrew Russia’s ally Viktor Yanukovych who had led Ukraine until the coup in February 2014. Even though Western-sponsored polls in Crimea, both before and after the coup, had shown higher than 90% support by Crimeans for rejoining with Russia, right after Crimeans voted overwhelmingly to rejoin Russia, Obama slapped sanctions against Russia. Nuclear weapons were prepared, both on the U.S.-EU side and on the Russian side, for a possible nuclear war. This is no mere restoration of the Cold War (which was supposedly based on the capitalist-communist ideological disagreement); it’s getting forces into position for a possible invasion of Russia, pure-and-simple — raw conquest — though no major news-media in the West are reporting it as being such. The current preparation doesn’t necessarily mean a nuclear war will result from them. Russia might accept whatever the demands ‘the West’ makes of it and thus lose its sovereignty. Alternatively, if Russia stands-its-ground and refuses to yield up its national sovereignty, ‘the West’ (the U.S. leadership, and the leaderships in its allied countries) could cease with its evermore-ominous threats and simply withdraw from Russia’s borders. Basically, by 2013 the U.S. leadership had decided to take over Ukraine and refused to acknowledge the rights of the Crimean people to reject the new dispensation in Kiev and decide on its own future — and, by late February 2014, Russia’s leadership decided to protect them against the type of invasion that subsequently occurred in Ukraine’s former Donbass region, where the opposition to Obama’s coup was even more intense. The West keeps asserting that Russia is somehow in the wrong here. However, since even the head of Stratfor has called what Obama did in Ukraine “the most blatant coup in history”, and since the fact that it was a U.S. coup has been documented extensively on cellphone and other videos, and in the most thorough academic investigation that has been performed of the matter — and was even acknowledged by Ukraine’s Petro Poroshenko, a participant in the coup, to have been a coup — and since evidence survives on the Internet of the U.S. Embassy’s preparations as early as 1 March 2013 for the February 2014 coup; and since even the U.S. government’s hired polls showed that Crimeans rejected overwhelmingly the U.S. coup and supported rejoining Russia; the question still needs to be answered: What is the basis of the West’s aggressive actions threatening Russia’s national security other than its own imperialist ambitions towards Russia camouflaged with the lies about an aggressive Russia and an aggressive President Putin the Western mass media have been bombarding the public with? And, that’s a very worrisome basis — worrisome regarding, essentially, a type of dictatorshipin the West, rather than any dictatorship outside it. The aggression and the threat here seem clearly to be coming from the West, against the East. Back in January, Russian President Vladimir Putin had once again called out American President Barack Obama on Obama’s big lie that America’s “ABM” weapons to disable in-flight nuclear missiles were being installed in Europe in order to protect Europe against Iranian nuclear missiles. Now, however, while the U.S. acknowledges that Iran doesn’t have, and won’t have, any nuclear missiles, Obama is stepping up (instead of ending) those same ABM installations in Europe, close to Russia’s borders. The only real reason they have been installed, as Putin argues, is in order to enable a sudden nuclear attack against Russia capable of disabling Russia’s retaliatory capacity in a matter of minutes. The only rational response by the Western public to what Obama and his foreign allies are doing is to recognize what is actually happening and to take action against their own leaders, before this increasingly high-stakes confrontation becomes terminal. In this instance, the people of the countries that comprise the political West need to defend themselves against their own national leaders. This is a situation that is frequently encountered in dictatorships. The key questions are not being asked in the Western press, however; they are being ignored by it. Unless these questions are publicly dealt with — and soon — the answer to them all could well be terminal for millions of civilians in Europe and elsewhere. The closer things get to a nuclear war, the more difficult it is for either side to back down from it — and this is especially the case with the aggressor, most especially when it falsely claims that it is being aggressed-against. This is the reason why the lies peddled by the political leadership of the West urgently need to be exposed.

Former FPL manager accused of trading nuclear secrets in Chinese spy case

April 20, 2016 10:00 AM

The unnamed former FPL manager was recruited by a Chinese-American under indictment on espionage charges

The former employee is alleged to have produced documents including nuclear plant outage times to the Chinese

Federal officials have evidence the former FPL employee was paid with at least one check of $15,555 from a ‘slush fund’

By Mary Ellen Klas Herald/Times Tallahassee Bureau

A former Florida Power & Light manager traded nuclear information from the company for cash to assist one of China’s top nuclear power companies, according to federal court records unsealed in Tennessee last week. The unnamed former FPL employee was recruited by Szuhsiung Ho, also known as Allen Ho, to help China General Nuclear Power Co. develop special nuclear material in China, according to the grand jury indictment unsealed April 14 in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Tennessee in Knoxville. Ho, a Delaware resident and naturalized U.S. citizen, is a nuclear engineer employed by China General Nuclear Power. The indictment charges Ho and his Delaware-based company, Energy Technology International, with two counts — conspiracy to unlawfully produce special nuclear material outside the U.S. and acting as an agent of a foreign government while in the U.S. The unnamed former FPL employee was a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Taiwan who left Juno Beach-based FPL in April 2010 to go to work for the Tennessee Valley Authority as a senior manager for the TVA’s nuclear power group until 2014, the indictment said. FPL confirmed Wednesday that the former manager was employed from 1988 until he retired in 2010 as the Nuclear Reliability and Risk Manager. The indictment lists his job at FPL as “Probabilistic Risk Assessment Manager.” FPL has two nuclear plants — Turkey Point in Homestead and St. Lucie on Hutchinson Island. The former FPL manager is identified in the indictment only as U.S. Person 1, or USP1, and it is not known if charges have been filed against him or five other unnamed individuals who allegedly worked with Ho. The indictment says USPI was first introduced to Ho in the early 1990s through the Chinese American Nuclear Technology Association. Ho was allegedly on assignment to recruit technical assistance from U.S.-based experts to help China General Nuclear Power design and manufacture certain components for nuclear reactors more quickly by reducing the time and financial costs of research and development, the indictment says. China General Nuclear Power is a government-owned company overseen by members of China’s communist party. “As this situation involves an active and ongoing legal matter, we do not have any comment on the status of this case,” FPL spokeswoman Sarah Gatewood said in an email statement. “All questions about this case should be directed to the proper authorities.” Rob Gould, FPL’s chief communications officer, said via email that the company “did cooperate with several government agencies as part of their investigation.” According to the indictment, Ho would tell his U.S.-based recruits: “China has the budget to spend. They asked me if I could form a comprehensive team to provide technology transfer in design and manufacturing, related training and technical supports.” The goal, he is quoted as saying, is for China to “be able to design their Nuclear Instrumentation System independently and manufacturing them independently after the project is complete ... They said the budget is no issue.” In 2004, the former FPL manager allegedly provided Ho with Florida Power & Light information “regarding nuclear power plant outage times” for use at China General’s Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant in exchange for payment. “Daya Bay hopes you can bring them as many paper reports and documents as you could ...” the indictment says Ho wrote the former FPL manager on March 17, 2004. From April 26 to April 30, 2004, the indictment says, the former FPL manager traveled to China and provided consulting services to the Daya Bay Nuclear Plant. In 2013, when USP1 was working with the Tennessee Valley Authority, he allegedly traveled to China again to deliver Electric Power Research Institute restricted reports on nuclear power and to provide nuclear consulting to China General. The EPRI is a non-profit organization that conducts research on issues related to the electric power industry. Among the documents provided were reports on technology innovation, material management, a method to predict the extent of damage in power plant piping and fuel reliability guidelines. In December 2015, Ho allegedly sent the manager a $15,555 check to a Chattanooga address for his help in 2013 and 2014. Ho described the money as “his company’s slush fund,” the indictment says. There are six individuals listed in the indictment who allegedly worked with Ho as consultants. FPL and Tennessee Valley Authority are the only companies named. The employers or former employers of the other consultants are not named.

The world is unprepared for impending natural disasters

Posted by The Watcher on April 26, 2016 in categories Earth

For a long time, preppers and survivalists were ridiculed and called lunatics who just want the world to come to an end. However, as our planet entered a realm in which major natural disasters became a norm and officials finally admitted the world is heading into an uncharted territory, it became clear that preppers were actually just better-informed individuals. No matter what the cause might be, natural disasters are occurring at an increased rate and, judging by rare official warnings, it will only get worse. For example... Head of the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR), Dr. Robert Glasser, warned recently that world's failure to prepare for natural disasters will have 'inconceivably bad' consequences as climate change fuels a huge increase in catastrophic droughts and floods and the humanitarian crises that follow. "With the world already “falling short” in its response to humanitarian emergencies, things would only get worse as climate change adds to the pressure," Glasser said. “If you see that we’re already spending huge amounts of money and are unable to meet the humanitarian need – and then you overlay that with not just population growth, but you put climate change on top of that, where we’re seeing an increase in the frequency and severity of natural disasters, and the knock-on effects with respect to food security and conflict and new viruses like the Zika virus or whatever – you realise that the only way we’re going to be able to deal with these trends is by getting out ahead of them and focusing on reducing disaster risk.” Failure to plan properly by factoring in the effects of climate change, he added, would result in a steep rise in the vulnerability of those people already most exposed to natural hazards. He also predicted a rise in the number of simultaneous disasters. “As the odds of any one event go up, the odds of two happening at the same time are more likely. We’ll see much more examples of cascading crises, where one event triggers another event, which triggers another event." Annual reported economic damages and time trend from disasters: 1980 - 2015. Source: UNISDR Since the beginning of the 20th century, natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, storms, bush-fires and volcanoes caused over 8 million deaths, according to CATDAT database that utilized data from more than 35 000 natural disasters that occurred since 1900. About one-third of economic losses between 1900 and 2015 have been brought on by flood events, while at the same time, earthquakes have caused 26% and storms 19% of the losses. At the same time, volcanic eruptions were responsible for about 1% of losses. Economic Costs 1900 - 2015: Flood, Earthquake and Storm have caused the highest losses. Image credit: James Daniell, KIT "Over the last 100+ years the economic losses via natural disasters, in absolute terms, have increased,“ said Dr. Daniell, risk engineer who composed the CATDAT. “Less developed nations are often more vulnerable towards catastrophes – that means relative to population and capital – and more deaths and higher economic losses are expected post-event." This is mostly due to the building quality where building regulations and disaster codes are not adequately implemented. Also, the areas where people work, such as the coast of Bangladesh are highly populated, and the financial gains usually outweigh the potential disaster risks. In other cases, such as the now infamous Indonesia's tsunami early-warning system, authorities just don't pay enough attention to looming disasters and don't invest enough to maintain equipment designed to save lives. Numerous studies show that extreme rainfall events are rising globally. While before 1980, multi-decadal fluctuations in extreme rainfall events are explained by natural variability, scientists detected a clear upward trend in the past few decades towards more unprecedented daily rainfall events. A study from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research showed that extreme rainfall events are strongly increasing in the Balkans, even more than the globally observed rise. If you live in the United States, you should be aware that a new research from Columbia University's School of Applied Science and Engineering shows the average number of tornadoes occurring during severe weather outbreaks is rising since 1954. The cause for this upward trend is still unknown, but the study also suggests the chances of such extreme weather outbreaks have risen. On the bright side, while the average number per outbreak has risen, the total number of tornadoes rated F/EF1 and higher each year hasn't increased. Time series of counts and clustering of F1+ tornadoes 1954–2014 in the contiguous US. (a) Number of F1+ tornadoes per year. The slope of the least-squares regression indicates that the number of F1+ tornadoes per year declined by 0.81 per year on average from 1954 to 2014 inclusive. This rate of decline is not statistically significantly different from 0 (no change). (b) Annual percentage of F1+ tornadoes occurring in outbreaks. The slope of the least-squares regression indicates that the percentage of F1+ tornadoes per year that occurred as part of outbreaks increased by 0.34 percentage points (pp) per year on average from 1954 to 2014 inclusive. This increase is statistically significantly greater than 0. In both a and b, ± intervals are 95% confidence intervals. Credit: Michael K. Tippett & Joel E. Cohen / Nature Communications. 1.4 billion people in South Asia, 81% of the region’s population, are acutely exposed to at least one type of natural hazard and live in areas considered to have insufficient resources to cope with and rebound from an extreme event, according to research published by risk analysis and research company Verisk Maplecroft in March 2016. Credit: Verisk Maplecroft The data collected by Verisk Maplecroft identifies flooding as one of the most substantial risks to communities and business in South Asia. In India alone, 113 million people, or 9% of the population, are acutely exposed to flood hazard, with a further 76 million exposed in Bangladesh and 10 million in Pakistan. Indeed, heavy monsoon rain in November-December 2015 sparked record flooding in South India, which cost the country upwards of US$3 billion and displaced more than 100 000 people. In its city-level analysis, Verisk Maplecroft flags the populations of three South Asian cities among the 10 most exposed globally. These include the major garment producer Dhaka in Bangladesh (ranked 5th most exposed) and the rapidly growing tech hubs of Kolkata (6) and Delhi (9) in India. Manila, Philippines (1), Tokyo, Japan (2), Jakarta, Indonesia (3), Dongguan, China (4), Osaka, Japan (7), Mexico City, Mexico (8) and Sao Paolo, Brazil (10) complete the list. The top 3 safest countries in the world in terms of natural disasters seem to be Qatar, followed by Malta and Saudi Arabia, according to World Risk Report 2015. Dr. Matthias Garschagen, scientific director of the World Risk Report, said large-scale disasters such as the earthquakes in Nepal and Haiti often act as stark reminders of fundamental development problems. But although international attention is quick to focus on huge disasters and lessons are often learned, Garschagen says the momentum is not always sustained. And therein, he added, lies the challenge: “Every time there’s a mega disaster, there are lessons learned – or at least there’s a lot of attention in the scientific and political realm. The key question is always, how do you keep up the awareness after a couple of years?” The truth is, most governments are not doing enough to protect lives of their citizens, and we should not rely on them. When push comes to shove, our dog-eat-dog world becomes even more evident. Each of us needs to be prepared for the worst. Featured image: Holuhraun eruption, Bardarbunga, Iceland 2014.

Europe under the grip of winter: Temperatures colder than Siberia! Tennis and Cricket matches suspended!

Wednesday, 27 April 2016

Parts of Europe are under the grip of winter as temperatures are colder than siberia.

Britain and parts of Europe are set to be colder than Siberia and Greenland this week – with snow, sleet, hail and ice forecast. A late blast of winter will leave people shivering in near-freezing temperatures until the Bank Holiday weekend, forecasters warned. Inches more snow are set to fall before Friday, following the flurries across the country exactly 35 years after surpise snowstorms blanketed Britain on April 26, 1981. Yesterday's freak Arctic blast stopped play at the Oval cricket ground in South London while commuters donned hats and gloves to shovel snow from their cars in the rest of the country. In Holland "Kings day" celebrations are being held in one of the coldest day's ever recorded for the event, the traditional evening street parties around the cities were described as "very quiet" by the Dutch media, the party goes on today with the extremely cold weather expected to warm up this afternoon. Rare snow to coat courts at BMW Open tennis tournament in Munich Rare snow and cold will create harsh conditions into Wednesday for competitors in the ATP BMW Open tennis tournament in Munich. Snow slicked the clay tennis courts at the BMW Open on Sunday as pictures via Twitter showed players competing in the elements. "I have never seen anything like this before," John Peers told the ATP World Tour. "It's the first time at an outdoor tour-level event that I have seen snow and matches had to be suspended."

Records smashed as more than five months of rain falls in one day in Las Vegas Sunday

Tuesday, 12 April 2016

Record-breaking rain drenched Las Vegas throughout the weekend, causing flooding and more than a hundred crashes on the roads. Flash flood warnings were issued Saturday, when 0.81 inch of rain was recorded at the National Weather Service's official measuring site at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas. That handily beat Sin City's previous record for the day, which was set at 0.17 inch in 1943, said Andrew Gorelow, a meteorologist. It now also ranks as the third-highest total amount of rain ever for a single day for the month of April. "April is one of our driest months of the year," Gorelow said. "We only average 0.15 (inch) for the average month (total)." Sunday also broke the day's record with 0.14 inch of rain, washing out the previous record of 0.13 inch set in 1943. Gorelow said the rain was caused by a low pressure system that had picked up a lot of moisture on the way in from Southern California. There's a 40 percent chance of more showers Monday after 11 a.m. before it clears out by Tuesday and temperatures return to the upper 70s. That will be a welcome reprieve for emergency crews who slogged through the weekend. The Las Vegas Sun reports that the Nevada Highway Patrol responded to 127 crashes, including seven hit-and-run incidents Saturday. Most were caused by a single vehicle hydroplaning. A total of 43 injuries and 77 cases of property damage were noted. The Clark County Fire Department also rescued seven people caught in the flooding Saturday. Four adults believed to be homeless were rescued near the washes along Dean Martin Drive, including one man south of Tropicana Avenue and three others found north of Flamingo Road. One was hospitalized for a minor leg injury. Two adults and an infant child were also rescued from their vehicles stuck in standing water just east of the Strip. The Vegas-based fire department also responded to flooding in Warm Springs, about 200 miles north, to assist a mobile home area. People in four houses found themselves surrounded by flood water for about four hours Saturday evening until the water receded to safer levels around 8 p.m. The homes were raised so no significant damage was reported. "They had to sit and watch the water go by," said Larry Haydu, Clark County's assistant fire chief. In northern Nevada, a recent bout of rainfall brought better news. Lake Tahoe's water level hit its natural rim for the first time in 10 months, with National Weather Service reporting that the lake is now over its rim by half an inch. The lake last reached its natural rim in June 2015. Tahoe hasn't spilled over into the Truckee River since before October 2014. Lake Tahoe had hit a two-year low this past winter. It has been projected to continue rising this spring thanks to above-average snowpack levels.

Samsung Just Patented Smart Contact Lenses With A Built-In Camera

By Erin Elizabeth - April 27, 2016

Every time I get to Facetime with a friend who lives half a world away, I’m amazed and thankful for technology. And it just keeps getting better and better. Last week, the South Korean multinational company, Samsung, was granted their patent for “smart” contact lenses. If these move into the development stage, the lenses will have a built-in camera and sensors that can be controlled by blinking. Currently, only Samsung and Google hold a patent for content lenses of this kind. But, Google’s main area of interest is to develop sensors within the lens that can determine blood sugar levels through tears. So, that means no competition for Samsung. Samsung’s concept instead sees embedded antennas that would, “communicate recorded data to your smart phone, taking wearable devices to a whole new level,” according to the article at Collective Evolution. Here are the patent diagrams that were made public via SamMobile: If this tech is developed and brought to market, can you imagine taking video of your first time surfing- with your contact lenses? Can you imagine both the freedom and new level of bondage that some people might feel with technology like this? Not to mention the potential health implications. At this point, it’s important to remember that this is still just a patent. So, we can all take a deep breath and either celebrate or start researching about the potential dangers of this new technology. As always, I’ll keep a watchful eye out and update you just as soon as there is any new information.

Sky Criminals, Chuck Norris Speaks Out On Climate Engineering

April 25, 2016

Internationally recognized martial arts champion and celebrity Chuck Norris has yet again shown exceptional courage by continuing to publicly address the critical climate engineering issue in an extremely direct, articulate, and forceful manner. Mr. Norris has previously addressed the power structure's attempt to silence anti-geoengineering researches and informational sites. Now, in the article below, he continues his examination of global geoengineering, and publicly states his warnings on this extremely dire issue. Let's hope that other well known personalities take a much needed example from Chuck Norris's unyielding moral fortitude. I wish to extend my deepest regard and respect to Mr. Norris for his steadfast and courageous effort to take a critically needed stand for the greater good. Dane Wigington geoengineeringwatch.org Sky Criminals Exclusive: Chuck Norris Examines Geoengineering "In Skies Above Us" Source: WND, article by Chuck Norris Country legend Merle Haggard, who died of a lung infection (double pneumonia) on April 6, sang in his song, “What I hate”: “What I hate is looking up and seeing chemtrails in a clear blue sky today.” Several months ago, I wrote a column titled, “Why are geo-engineering researchers being stonewalled?” In it, I gave an array of evidence from scientists that geoengineering and, specifically, covert chemtrailing is taking place in the skies above us and unbeknownst to us. For those who are unfamiliar with the subject and stratospheric lunacy, let me reiterate a few definitions: Geoengineering is the artificial modification of Earth’s climate systems through two primary technologies: Solar Radiation Management, or SRM, and Carbon Dioxide Removal, or CDR. CDR technologies include “bio-energy with carbon capture and storage, biochar, direct air capture, ocean fertilization and enhanced weathering,” according to Wikipedia. SRM technologies “seek to reflect sunlight and thus reduce global warming. Proposed examples include the creation of stratospheric sulfate aerosols.” Stratospheric sulfate aerosols “create a global dimming effect [that] has made them a possible candidate for use in solar radiation management climate engineering projects to limit the effect and impact of climate change due to rising levels of greenhouse gases. Delivery of precursor sulfide gases such as sulfuric acid, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) or sulfur dioxide (SO2) by artillery, aircraft and balloons has been proposed. Chemtrailing is the “public’s term for the classified [covert] and ongoing artificial modification of Earth’s climate systems using reflective nano-materials (aerosols) to reflect sunlight. The aerosols are dispersed via jet aircraft trails that expand into reflective artificial clouds.” Geoengineered skies in Camp Verde, Arizona. Photo credit: Levin Rutherford Sarah Zielinski, an award-winning science writer and editor, wrote a piece in December 2015 for the Smithsonian, titled, “Airplane Contrails May Be Creating Accidental Geoengineering.” In the article, Zielinski explained, “Geoengineering involves the manipulation of an environmental process in such a way, usually deliberate, that it affects the Earth’s climate.” Zeilinski cites Charles Long from the NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado, who reported at a press conference this past week at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting in San Francisco: “This haze is caused by airplanes, and it is gradually whitening blue skies. We might be actually conducting some unintentional geoengineering here.” Many other scientists would say – as we shall see in a moment – intentional geoengineering. Long went on to explain, “Its existence demonstrates yet another way that humans might be altering the climate system, and you can see this with your own eyes.” I know, because my wife, Gena, and I have seen it in the skies over our own Texas ranch. Kevin Trenberth of the National Center for Atmospheric Research concluded, “It seems quite possible that [Long is] seeing something that’s real.” Long still calls the haze “a mystery,” but at the moment primarily blames air traffic exhaust and other aerosols as the most likely culprits of those particles. But is the origin of it all so unintentional and innocent? Or are there deliberate sky criminals who are also chemtrailing above us with other chemical agents? Long himself is puzzled how certain areas around the country like one in Oklahoma have significant sky whitening yet don’t get as much known air traffic. When Snopes was investigating the recent accusations that NASA was spraying lithium (the anti-manic psychiatric medication) into the atmosphere and, hence, onto Americans, the liberal fact-finding website even had to confess that, “Buried among the tinfoil were a few actual facts: it was true that a 2003 study examined the feasibility of mass vaccination by air.” The actual 2003 abstract from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), a part of the U.S. federal government’s National Library of Medicine – a branch of the National Institutes of Health, reads: The feasibility of using aerosol vaccines to achieve mass and rapid immunization, especially in developing countries and disaster areas, is being assessed on the basis of current available information. The aerosol mode of vaccine introduction, which best follows the natural route of many infections, may first lead to development of immunity at the portal of entry, and may also induce a more generalized defense. The recommended optimal way of introducing an aerosol vaccine is nasal breathing, which is more suitable for geriatric and pediatric populations, permits use of greater antigen volumes, and allows easier monitoring of results. Technical requirements for ideal aerosol vaccines and delivery systems, possible adverse effects, and cost-effectiveness are other issues addressed. Several thousand human subjects have been aerosol-vaccinated over a period of many years in Russia with live-attenuated strains against many diseases. Extensive field trials in South America with aerosolized live-attenuated measles vaccine have also been successful, and excellent results have been reported with pilot projects employing inactivated or live-attenuated aerosol influenza A vaccine. We conclude that aerosol immunization seems a promising method of vaccination. Although some basic information is still lacking, this method has already been used successfully in large populations and has therefore passed the phase of initial feasibility evaluation. [Emphasis added by me.] Over the past 13 years since the study, does anyone think it’s possible that such mass vaccinations or immunizations have occurred by air in trial locations in the U.S.? How many plane-dropping chemical cocktails have already been sprayed around the world in the name of securing public health? When the heads of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention publicly sound the alarm that the Zika virus is “scarier than we initially thought” and the mosquito transmission ranges have increased from 12 states to 30 in just weeks, does anyone think there’s discussion of the NCBI 2003 study? Whatever the intent or justification, and whether or not the purpose is for mass vaccinations or some other devious plot, if you don’t believe there’s some smoke-screening in the sky trails above you, I have a London Bridge to sell you in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Supreme among the evidence for the smoke and mirrors in the skies above and in halls of Washington is the work of Dr. J. Marvin Herndon, an American interdisciplinary scientist who earned his bachelor of arts degree in physics in 1970 from the University of California, San Diego, and his Ph.D. in nuclear chemistry in 1974 from Texas A&M University. Herndon wrote an article that was reviewed and published on Aug. 11, 2015, in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, titled, “Evidence of Coal-Fly-Ash Toxic Chemical Geoengineering in the Troposphere: Consequences for Public Health.” Again, the abstract from the article says it all: The widespread, intentional and increasingly frequent chemical emplacement in the troposphere has gone unidentified and unremarked in the scientific literature for years. The author presents evidence that toxic coal combustion fly ash is the most likely aerosolized particulate sprayed by tanker-jets for geoengineering, weather-modification and climate-modification purposes and describes some of the multifold consequences on public health. Two methods are employed: (1) Comparison of 8 elements analyzed in rainwater, leached from aerosolized particulates, with corresponding elements leached into water from coal fly ash in published laboratory experiments, and (2) Comparison of 14 elements analyzed in dust collected outdoors on a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter with corresponding elements analyzed in un-leached coal fly ash material. The results show: (1) the assemblage of elements in rainwater and in the corresponding experimental leachate are essentially identical. At a 99% confidence interval, they have identical means (T-test) and identical variances (F-test); and (2) the assemblage of elements in the HEPA dust and in the corresponding average un-leached coal fly ash are likewise essentially identical. The consequences on public health are profound, including exposure to a variety of toxic heavy metals, radioactive elements, and neurologically-implicated chemically mobile aluminum released by body moisture in situ after inhalation or through transdermal induction. Interestingly, on Sept. 2, 2015, just two weeks after it was published, Dr. Herndon’s entire 16-page scientific article was suddenly and completely retracted from the journal based upon only two chemical composition questions and an overarching explanation with no further explanation than this: “The language of the paper is often not sufficiently scientifically objective for a research article.” Really? It’s time again to wake up, America. I’m not Shakespeare, but something is definitely rotten in the state of Denmark. Or as another music legend, Prince, who just passed away this past week, sang in his song, “Dreamer”: “While the helicopter circles us, this theory’s getting’ deep, Think they’re spraying chemicals over the city while we sleep? From now on I’m staying’ awake, you can call me a dreamer too, wake up, wake up.” (For further information on geoengineering and its related subjects, I encourage you to go to GeoEngineeringWatch.org.)

16 Pollutants Found In Fish Prevent Our Immune System From Working

The world's oceans are a global reservoir of persistent organic pollutants to which humans and other animals are exposed. A new study has found that fish tainted with common, long-lasting environmental contaminants weaken the human body's ability to defend itself against toxins. Persistent organic compounds that are resistant to environmental degradation will soon have very significant impacts on human health with some scientists estimating that almost 50% of all babies worldwide will have at least one birth defect. "This is a serious concern," said Dr. Marvin Eastman from the Tobias environmental research centre in New York City. "According to our research, in less than two decades the exponential rate of increase of POPs around the world will soon prevent almost half of newborns worldwide from developing normally and with at least one birth defect." Although it is well known that these pollutants are potentially hazardous to human and environmental health, their impacts remain incompletely understood. Studies show that eating the POPs-contaminated farmed salmon led to greater weight gain and higher predisposition to type 2 diabetes compared to a salmon-free diet with the same amount of total fat. Ocean pollutants that may contaminate our food are able to tamper with the body's ability to cope with toxins. The finding makes it more urgent to know how the pollutants act, especially as they are often found in combination. POPs have been found almost everywhere on Earth, from remote islands to all oceans, and in the bodies of killer whales off the coast of Europe. They have been implicated in the global die-off of honeybee colonies. Amro Hamdoun and Sascha Nicklisch at the University of California at San Diego and colleagues studied 37 organic pollutants and their effect on P-gp, a cell-membrane protein that recognises harmful molecules and boots them out. They identified specific congeners of organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers that inhibit mouse and human P-gp, and determined their environmental levels in yellowfin tuna from the Gulf of Mexico. In experiments on yeast cells expressing the mouse P-gp protein, 16 of the pollutants stopped it from working. Ten of these chemicals have been found in humans, implying they are in the food chain. One of these is the pesticide DDT, which was banned by an international treaty in 2001. Others include chemicals used as industrial flame retardants. The results demonstrate the potential for specific binding and inhibition of mammalian P-gp by ubiquitous congeners of persistent organic pollutants present in fish and other foods, and argue for further consideration of transporter inhibition in the assessment of the risk of exposure to these chemicals. "P-gp is incredibly important for eliminating a wide range of drugs and toxins," says Hamdoun. "These widespread pollutants can inhibit this defence system." Newborn babies may be among the most vulnerable to the toxic chemicals, since organic pollutants reach high concentrations in breast milk and infants have low levels of P-gp in their cells. The pollutants usually appear as mixtures both in the environment and in our food, says Nicklisch. "We don't know what effects the combined levels of these inhibitors will have on the body, particularly when taken together with other medications." There should be more testing on pollutants to determine their effects on biological defences against toxins, the researchers say.

German nuclear plant in Bavaria infected with malware, logins compromised

Published time: 27 Apr, 2016 07:52

Several computer viruses have been detected in a German nuclear power plant in Bavaria, the station operator said. The malware can steal login credentials and allow a remote attacker to access the cracked computer. The incident took place at Gundremmingen plant about 100km from Munich. “In Gundremmingen nuclear power plant so-called office-malware has been found during … testing work in Unit B,” a statement released by the power plant said. Germany's Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) was immediately informed. The statement initially didn’t mention what kind of malware was involved, only saying this software has been “known for a few years” and is designed to make “an unwanted connection to the internet.” Later, RWE, a German electric utilities company that runs the plant, confirmed to Reuters the viruses include “W32.Ramnit” and “Conficker”. They were found in a computer system retrofitted in 2008 with data visualization software. The worms were also found in at least 18 removable data drives, mainly in USB sticks and office computers maintained separately from the plant system, the company added.

Ancient Race of White Giants Described in Native Legends From Many Tribes

Several Native American tribes have passed down legends of a race of white giants who were wiped out. We’ll take a look at a few such legends, including those among the Choctaw and the Comanches of the United States down to the Manta of Peru. Choctaw Horatio Bardwell Cushman wrote in his 1899 book “History of the Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Natchez Indians”: “The tradition of the Choctaws . . . told of a race of giants that once inhabited the now State of Tennessee, and with whom their ancestors fought when they arrived in Mississippi in their migration from the west. … Their tradition states the Nahullo (race of giants) was of wonderful stature.” Cushman said “Nahullo” came to be used to describe all white people, but it originally referred specifically to a giant white race with whom the Choctaw came into contact when they first crossed the Mississippi River. The Nahullo were said to be cannibals whom the Choctaw killed whenever the opportunity arose. Comanches Chief Rolling Thunder of the Comanches, a tribe from the Great Plains, gave the following account of an ancient race of white giants in 1857: “Innumerable moons ago, a race of white men, 10 feet high, and far more rich and powerful than any white people now living, here inhabited a large range of country, extending from the rising to the setting sun. Their fortifications crowned the summits of the mountains, protecting their populous cities situated in the intervening valleys. “They excelled every other nation which was flourished, either before or since, in all manner of cunning handicraft—were brave and warlike—ruling over the land they had wrested from its ancient possessors with a high and haughty hand. Compared with them the palefaces of the present day were pygmies, in both art and arms. …” The chief explained that when this race forgot justice and mercy and became too proud, the Great Spirit wiped it out and all that was left of their society were the mounds still visible on the tablelands. This account was documented by Dr. Donald “Panther” Yates, a researcher and author of books on Native American history, on his blog. Lovelock Cave: A Tale of Giants or A Giant Tale of Fiction? Giant 7 – 8 Foot Skeletons Uncovered in Ecuador sent for Scientific Testing The Establishment Has Already Acknowledged A Lost Race of Giants Navajo Yates also writes of the Starnake people of Navajo legend, describing them as: “A regal race of white giants endowed with mining technology who dominated the West, enslaved lesser tribes, and had strongholds all through the Americas. They were either extinguished or ‘went back to the heavens.'” Manta In 1864, Pedro de Cieza de León wrote in “Chronicle of Peru” about legendary giants described to him by the Manta indigenous people: “There are, however, reports concerning giants in Peru, who landed on the coast at the point of Santa Elena. … The natives relate the following tradition, which had been received from their ancestors from very remote times. “There arrived on the coast, in boats made of reeds, as big as large ships, a party of men of such size that, from the knee downwards, their height was as great as the entire height of an ordinary man, though he might be of good stature. Their limbs were all in proportion to the deformed size of their bodies, and it was a monstrous thing to see their heads, with hair reaching to the shoulders. Their eyes were as large as small plates.” León said that the sexual habits of the giants were revolting to the Natives and heaven eventually wiped out the giants because of those habits. Paiutes The Paiutes are said to have an oral tradition that told of red-haired, white, cannibals about 10 feet tall who lived in or near what is now known as Lovelock Cave in Nevada. It is unclear whether this “oral tradition” about the so-called Sitecah giants existed or if it was an exaggeration or distortion of their legends made after the Paiutes were mostly killed or dispersed in 1833 by an expedition by explorer Joseph Walker. Brian Dunning of Skeptoid explored Paiutes legends and found no mention of the Sitecah being giants. It seems there was, however, a people who practiced cannibalism and who lived in Lovelock Cave. Human remains have been found there, and a few of the human bones had the marrow removed, suggesting the marrow was eaten. Cannibalism seems to have been a rare practice among these peoples, however. The remains do have red hair, but this may be because black hair can turn red with time. Miners unearthed the artifacts in 1912, leaving them in a pile before eventually contacting the University of California. Anthropologist Llewellyn L. Loud traveled from the university to the site to investigate. It is commonly agreed that excavation of the site was not handled well and certainly not up to modern standards. But some proponents of the Sitecah giants theory say researchers have deliberately covered up any giant remains found there. Featured image: Navajo Hogan, Monument Valley (public domain).

Pregnant T. rex Found, May Contain DNA

Mar 15, 2016 10:30 AM ET // by Jennifer Viegas

A pregnant Tyrannosaurus rex has been found, shedding light on the evolution of egg-laying as well as on gender differences in the dinosaur.

The 2016 Panama Canal

Expansion Brings a Wave of Change for Shippers. Learn More. Continue at www.chrobinson.com  The remains also could contain the holy grail of all dinosaur fossils: DNA. "Yes, it's possible," Lindsay Zanno told Discovery News, referring to genetic material that may be present in this as well as similar dinosaur finds. "We have some evidence that fragments of DNA may be preserved in dinosaur fossils, but this remains to be tested further." New Dino Reveals How T. rex Became Top Predator Play Video Analyzing Dinosaur Fossils Go on a behind-the-scenes tour of how information is extracted from ancient fossils. iStockphoto/Thinkstock What has been confirmed so far is that the T. rex, which was found in Montana and dates to 68 million years ago, retained medullary bone that reveals the individual was pregnant. Medullary bone is only present in female living dinosaurs, i.e. birds, just before and during egg laying. It's this type of bone that could retain preserved DNA. Zanno is an assistant research professor of biological sciences at North Carolina State University, where she is also head of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences' Paleontology Research Lab and is curator of paleontology. She explained that medullary bone lines the marrow cavity of the long bones of birds. "It's a special tissue that is built up as easily mobilized calcium storage just before egg laying," she said. "The outcome is that birds do not have to pull calcium from the main part of their bones in order to shell eggs, weakening their bones the way crocodiles do." Photos: Top 10 Largest Dinosaurs Crocodiles, she said, are the closest living relatives of dinosaurs. "Medullary bone is thus present just before and during egg laying, but is entirely gone after the female has finished laying eggs," she said. Early on, Mary Schweitzer suspected that medullary bone was present in the tyrannosaur remains, and was able to confirm her suspicions after she, Zanno and their team conducted a chemical analysis of the T. rex's femur. 10 Best Dinosaur Discoveries of 2015 The material, found to be consistent with known medullary tissues from ostriches and chickens, contained karatan sulfate, a substance not present in any other bone types. "This analysis allows us to determine the gender of this fossil, and gives us a window into the evolution of egg laying in modern birds," Schweitzer said.

Researchers can identify you by your brain waves with 100 percent accuracy

April 18, 2016

Your responses to certain stimuli—foods, celebrities, words—might seem trivial, but they say a lot about you. In fact (with the proper clearance), these responses could gain you access into restricted areas of the Pentagon. A team of researchers at Binghamton University, led by Assistant Professor of Psychology Sarah Laszlo and Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Zhanpeng Jin, recorded the brain activity of 50 people wearing an electroencephalogram headset while they looked at a series of 500 images designed specifically to elicit unique responses from person to person—e.g., a slice of pizza, a boat, Anne Hathaway, the word "conundrum." They found that participants' brains reacted differently to each image, enough that a computer system was able to identify each volunteer's "brainprint" with 100 percent accuracy. "When you take hundreds of these images, where every person is going to feel differently about each individual one, then you can be really accurate in identifying which person it was who looked at them just by their brain activity," said Laszlo. In their original study, titled "Brainprint," published in 2015 in Neurocomputing, the research team was able to identify one person out of a group of 32 by that person's responses, with only 97 percent accuracy, and that study only incorporated words, not images. "It's a big deal going from 97 to 100 percent because we imagine the applications for this technology being for high-security situations, like ensuring the person going into the Pentagon or the nuclear launch bay is the right person," said Laszlo. "You don't want to be 97 percent accurate for that, you want to be 100 percent accurate." According to Laszlo, brain biometrics are appealing because they are cancellable and cannot be stolen by malicious means the way a finger or retina can. The results suggest that brainwaves could be used by security systems to verify a person's identity. "If someone's fingerprint is stolen, that person can't just grow a new finger to replace the compromised fingerprint—the fingerprint for that person is compromised forever. Fingerprints are 'non-cancellable.' Brainprints, on the other hand, are potentially cancellable. So, in the unlikely event that attackers were actually able to steal a brainprint from an authorized user, the authorized user could then 'reset' their brainprint," Laszlo said. New technology being developed by Binghamton University research collaborators Sarah Laszlo and Zhanpeng Jin have delivered stunning results over the ability to identify human beings through brain scans.

"We tend to see the applications of this system as being more along the lines of high-security physical locations, like the Pentagon or Air Force Labs, where there aren't that many users that are authorized to enter, and those users don't need to constantly be authorizing the way that a consumer might need to authorize into their phone or computer," Jin said. The study, "CEREBRE: A Novel Method for Very High Accuracy Event-Related Potential Biometric Identification," was published in The IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security.

One More Casualty Of The 9/11 Farce - The Petrodollar

Wednesday, 27 April 2016 01:37 Brandon Smith

It’s been about 15 years now since passenger airliners struck the World Trade Center towers on 9/11, and we are still suffering the consequences of that day, though perhaps not in the ways many Americans might believe. The 9/11 attacks were billed by the Bush Administration as a “wake-up call” for the U.S., and neocons called it the new Pearl Harbor. But instead of it being an awaking, the American public was led further into blind ignorance. The event launched wars throughout the Middle East, energized by a strike-first doctrine which was supposed to bring unprecedented “democracy” to the region. Instead, the Middle East has now become as unstable as it was during WWII. The penchant for Western governments to fund and train terrorist groups is now verifiable mainstream fact rather than being considered “conspiracy theory” as was the common accusation back in 2001. Pentagon papers outlining support for the formation of ISIS are available for anyone to read. The only disconnect that the public still seems to suffer from is that orthodox Republicans fail to recognize that the support for Islamic terrorism has been just as prevalent under Republican presidents (al-Qaeda) as it has been under Barack Obama. And, Democrats refuse to recognize that Barack Obama has been guilty of all the same criminal foreign policies they used to protest under George W. Bush. There have been substantial economic consequences as well. The Iraq War alone is estimated to have cost around $2 trillion, with billions more in veteran benefits forthcoming. These numbers, of course, stop accounting for costs after 2010, when the war was deemed officially “over.” Costs continue to this day as the U.S. maintains its military presence in the region along with thousands of private contractors we rarely ever hear about. The U.S. official national debt in 2001 was around $6 trillion. Today, the national debt has grown to more than $19 trillion. This astonishing debt accumulation is only partially due to combat operations in the Middle East; however, one must also consider the amount of interest owed on debts accrued. There have also been numerous socio-political consequences post-9/11, including an ever expanding police state mentality which is reaching critical mass. The inevitable outcome will be open totalitarianism in the name of security, and rebellion in response. Clearly, after 15 years of disastrous policy, it is time to admit that the U.S. response to 9/11 has damaged us far more than the actual attacks ever could. Many of us in the liberty movement have studied the circumstances surrounding 9/11 extensively, including evidence indicating either government complicity in the attacks, or outright participation. Such a discussion is beyond the scope of this particular article, but I highly recommend anyone skeptical of U.S. government involvement in 9/11 look into the scientific data collected by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth and see if your assumptions are not rattled. Interestingly, the 9/11 truth movement may be partially vindicated in the near term as debate rages over the release of redacted and classified documents tied to the original government led investigation into 9/11. The problem is, the release of these documents is just as calculated as the original cover-up. The fact that the involvement of the Saudi Arabian government in the events of 9/11 has suddenly hit the mainstream media this year is probably not a coincidence. As I outlined in my article “The global economic reset has begun,” the U.S. economy has been protected since the credit crisis of 2008 by three pillars, and each of these pillars is now being systematically demolished. The first pillar was fiat stimulus and quantitative easing. This pillar was removed through the Federal Reserve’s taper program. The second pillar was the use of near-zero interest rates to funnel cheap or free money through overnight loans to banks and corporations which they then used in a long cycle of stock buybacks. This pillar is now being removed through interest rate hikes by the Fed, and stock buybacks will be dead before 2016 is over. The third and final pillar holding up the U.S. economy is the dollar’s world reserve status — the dominance of the dollar around the world as the primary currency used in international trade. World reserve status allows America to maintain extreme levels of debt creation and protects us partially from fiat hyperinflation. Because so many dollars are needed by overseas governments and corporations for international trade, the Federal Reserve has been able to perpetuate massive stimulus programs without all the money created immediately burying the U.S. system as what happened in Wiemar, Germany. The problem is, if the dollar ever loses world reserve status, the unknown amounts of dollars created by the Fed and held overseas will come flooding back to destroy the illusion of our currency’s value. The dollar’s world reserve status is highly dependent on the fact that it is the petrocurrency; the vast majority of oil purchases around the planet are made only in dollars. In fact, most oil producing nations will not sell their stock unless dollars are used. The dollar has enjoyed this awesome advantage primarily because of the relationship between the U.S. government and Saudi Arabia. For now, Saudi Arabia is still the largest holder of oil production market share in the world. This market share has been declining somewhat recently due to falling global demand and more specifically falling U.S. demand, which has led to more vicious competition from other producing nations, including Russia and Iran. Falling U.S. demand by itself has perhaps led OPEC nations to question the continued validity of the dollar as the petrocurrency. In November of 2015, the Saudi government hinted at the possibility that they might depeg from the U.S. currency entirely. This act alone would essentially destroy the dollar’s petro-status. The conundrum facing the Saudis was increasingly low and unstable oil prices to which the petrodollar adds a level of uncertainty. Mainstream analysts argued that Saudi Arabia may be forced to choose – either cut production to increase prices, or end the dollar peg and stabilize prices, by switching to a basket of currencies instead (Special Drawing Rights, anyone?!). Obviously, after the engineered absurdity at the Doha meeting this month, there is absolutely no chance in hell that Saudi Arabia will commit to any substantial cuts in oil production. In fact, the Saudis have just announced that they may expand oil fields in order to increase production to even greater historical levels. So, oil prices are going to remain low for now, and will probably fall exponentially if a battle for market share between Iran, Russia and Saudi Arabia goes nuclear, as I have predicted. This would suggest that the Saudis will end the peg to the dollar within the next couple of years. As I wrote in my article “Economic crisis goes mainstream; what happens next?,” an oil price panic could lead to conflict between Saudi Arabia and the U.S. and disrupt the petrodollar. And, this would precipitate the fall of the dollar’s world reserve status; meaning, the globalists would get exactly what they want — the death of dollar dominance and the rise of the SDR system under the IMF as a prelude to global currency and global economic governance. However, another catalyst from left field may be needed. A sort of black swan event… enter the 28-page “secret chapter” of the 9/11 congressional inquiry. Supposedly, the documents are a bombshell linking the Saudi government directly to the 9/11 hijackers and exposing their aid to said terrorists. Despite Obama’s "peace offerings" to the Saudis, the White House is still said to be poised to release these documents to the public in the near term. The Saudi’s have responded with extreme anger, and have openly threatened to dump their $750 billion in U.S. treasury holdings if the documents ever see the light of day. This would invariably end the Saudi peg to the dollar and thus end the dollar’s petrostatus, which would then expedite the end of the dollar’s world reserve status. It would be a catastrophe. The set-up is perfect. The liberty movement gets some vindication that there was indeed a conspiracy surrounding 9/11, but the true scope of that conspiracy remains hidden as the Saudis take the brunt of the blame. The Saudis get an opportunity handed to them on a silver platter to kill the dollar peg, an action they have been planning for quite some time anyway. The U.S. government then becomes partly responsible (in the public eye) for opening the door to the destruction of the dollar, a process which the globalists at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Federal Reserve have been planning for decades. Then the IMF can swoop in post-crisis with the SDR basket system to replace the dollar’s world reserve structure. We then have immense global economic change triggered by nothing more than a 28-page document, but predicated on years of careful staging, planning and choreography. Once again, the globalists have conjured a theatrical circus which they may use to end the American economy as we know it. We will have to wait and see if the 9/11 documents are released, and if the Saudis follow through with their threats. But consider this; who really benefits in the end in the wake of these developments? Such a move would certainly only serve the interests of international elites in the long run.

The History of What Comes Next

by Hal Lindsey

Everyone wants to know what happens next. That makes predicting the future big business. Huge corporations spend millions on consulting firms to tell them what’s around the corner. Many of these consultants create computer models that take known facts and attempt to extrapolate from them an understanding of the unknown future. But even in our modern era, many approach the future much as their pagan forebears did. Astrologists, spiritualists, psychics, mystics, palm readers, and other occult practitioners rake in huge amounts of money, especially in times of uncertainty. In our everyday lives, we make sense of the future by looking at the past. The sun has been rising for a long time. We assume it will rise again tomorrow. None of us have seen tomorrow yet, so we use our brains the way scientists use their supercomputers. We extrapolate — make educated guesses. But God doesn’t have to guess. For human beings, time passes sequentially. We’re like people along the street watching a parade. A helicopter pilot flying above the parade can see it all at once. On the ground, we see what’s right in front of us. From on high, he sees the whole parade at once, from beginning to end. That’s a small picture of the way God sees time. Isaiah 57:15 calls Him, “the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity.” (NKJV) In other words, He’s already an eyewitness to the future. God can and does reveal certain things about the future to us. Through the prophet Daniel, He correctly laid out a detailed outline of world history from Daniel’s time forward, covering the next 600 years. In our time, we see the nations of the world aligning themselves in ways predicted by Daniel and the other prophets. But to really understand the future, we have to see the context of prophecy. To do that, look at two things — the fundamental nature of God and the series of promises He has made. Assurance of the latter depends on our certainty of the former. A promise is only as good as the one making the promise. Does a lifetime money-back guarantee mean you’re covered until the end of your days? Not necessarily. A company can go belly-up. Bankrupt owners might not have the ability to keep their warranty. Other businesses are scams from the beginning. So, before we look at God’s promises, we have to look at His attributes. Does He have the ability to fulfill His promises? If so, does He have the good character needed to keep His word? Theologians often use the word “omnipotent” to describe God’s ability. “Omni” means all, and “potent” means power. In Genesis 17:1, God said to Abraham, “I am God Almighty.” Almighty is another word meaning all powerful. Revelation 19:6 says, “And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.” Our imaginations fall short when trying to grasp the power and magnificence of a single star — our sun. Yet scientists say a typical galaxy contains a hundred billion stars of which the sun is merely average. Our Milky Way contains up to 400 billion stars. And the universe contains at least a hundred billion galaxies. Think of that, and then think of Genesis 1:1 — “In the beginning God created the Heaven and the earth.” Isaiah 40 says, “‘To whom then will you liken Me, or to whom shall I be equal?’ says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these things, Who brings out their host by number; He calls them all by name, by the greatness of His might and the strength of His power.” (Isaiah 40:25-26 NKJV) Yes. The Almighty Creator of all things has the ability to keep His promises. But what about His character? His capabilities wouldn’t matter if His honesty couldn’t be trusted. Remember the vast universe I just described? In Mark 13:31, Jesus said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.” Numbers 23:19 says, “God is not a man, that He should lie.” Isaiah 40:8 says, “The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.” Titus 1:2 says “God . . . cannot lie.” (NASB) God cannot lie! That’s not a limitation on His omnipotence; it’s an expression of it. 2 Timothy 2:13 says, “He cannot deny Himself.” (NASB) He remains forever true to Who He is, and He is truth. (John 14:6) Because of His power and His character, His promises cannot fail. The moment He makes a promise, it is as good as done. To gain an understanding of the future, then, we need to examine His promises. Some of them were conditional, such as the covenant of the law given through Moses. Other promises were unconditional. He promised to Abraham that He would give the Promised Land to Abraham’s offspring through Isaac and Jacob. God would reiterate this promise many times in many ways. So it must happen. God promised King David, “Your house and your kingdom shall endure before Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.” [2 Samuel 7:10-11,16 NASB] That promise can be fulfilled only in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. What’s going to happen? All the things God promised.

By Bill Lockwood/Iowa Park Church of Christ

Paul begins the great letter to the Romans emphasizing that the gospel is for the Jew as well as the gentile, and offers to both on the same terms (Romans 1:16, 17). In Jesus Christ, God has been true to all of his promises to the Jews (Romans 3:4). Summarizing the same point in chapter 15:8,9 he concludes, "For I say that Christ has been made a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given unto the fathers, and that the gentiles might glorify God for his mercy …" Paul distinguishes between the Jew in Romans 15:8,9 and the gentile. What attracts the Jew to Christ is not exactly the same as that which gains the heart of the gentile. Let's examine it. First, Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament in his personal ministry. The Jew is especially struck with the fact that Christ fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies. Two words emphasize this in the text. "That he might confirm the promises given unto the (Jewish) fathers" (Romans 15:8). The word "confirm" means "to establish a promise is to confirm it by fulfilling it." As our Lord himself explained in Luke 24:44, he "fulfilled all things" concerning him written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms. God has already been true to the promises given to the Jews. The blessings are spiritual. The second word of emphasis is "truth." In Jesus' confirmation/fulfillment of OT prophecies, God displayed his truth, or as Paul puts it, "… for the truth of God." That is, his fidelity to the ancient promises. Charles Hodge, in his "Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans, explains this as meaning "To maintain the truth (or fidelity) of God in the accomplishment of the promises made to the fathers. Consider this: One of the most popular false doctrines today encroaching upon churches posits that the Old Testament was not completely fulfilled by Jesus Christ during his personal ministry but will be fulfilled in the future. It holds that somehow the promises to the Jews will come to completion later in some nationalistic manner. This millennial concept destroys souls by causing them to reject the plain fact taught in the New Testament that Jesus fulfilled the promises given unto the Jewish fathers and that by doing this God maintained his fidelity to his own promises. Second, Jesus extended to the gentile his mercy. "That the gentiles might glorify God for his mercy …" Thus, from Jews arise the voice that celebrates God's faithfulness but from the gentiles arises a voice celebrating God's mercy. This is the meaning of this admirable passage which extends to verse 13. Gentile as well as Jew is able to come to Christ on the same terms. Here, in the verses that follow, Paul reminds us that the Old Testament itself contains the evidence that the non-Jew was to be included in the promises given. How does this vitiate against the widespread notion that the non-Jew is on the outside, a second-rate citizen of the kingdom of God, which is supposedly a Jewish organization? What is the conclusion? There are no more promises given to the Jewish fathers awaiting future fulfillment. What we now enjoy in Jesus Christ is all that God ever promised from the Old Testament. Further, the promises of God extend equally to the non-Jew. That which remains is an eternal heavenly abode (1 Thessalonians 4:13-14) vouchsafed to all Christians by the New Testament.

Take the limitation off God

By Edith Nevis Staff Writer Published: Friday, April 29, 2016 at 11:09 a.m.

Last Modified: Friday, April 29, 2016 at 11:09 a.m.

"You're blessed when you're at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule. You're blessed when you feel you've lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you. You're blessed when you're content with just who you are—no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought." Matthew 5:3-5 Today, let's take the limitation off God. We all have been unknowingly guilty of this. When? During those times of uncertainty when the bills are due, the child is misbehaving, the relationship is in trouble and the layoff included you. We begin to view our circumstances larger than our faith and trust in Him. What is this faith and trust? You and I are to have complete confidence in that which we believe. (Hebrew 11:6) And trust in the reliability, truth and strength in God even if we do not see it, period! (Proverbs 30:5) More often than not, our quick (fast moving without prayer or thought) response when faced with a challenge is a direct result to life's immediate circumstances. We tend to go into panic mode, brain storming how to fix the problem. It's important that you understand everything about you God is concerned about and wants to be your way maker (Proverbs 3:5-6). You see, he has no need for plan B, for God is never caught by surprise when things go wrong in our lives. Yet we seek counsel from others (sometimes unwise advice) in hopes they, too, may have the answer. When you and I place our own abilities (or lack thereof) over His faithfulness, there is where our faith lay, and we limit God's blessing over our lives (Matthew 7:7). Remember, God is still in control. Nothing shall be accomplished without his authorization (2 Corinthians 1:20).

What Happened When I Tried to Take $1500 Cash Out of Bank of America-Bank Holiday is Near

A funny thing happened on my way to writing on a very controversial topic. It just so happens that I inadvertently made my own news. To those who expected to read how the criminal elite are going stop Donald Trump short of singular assassination plot, that story will be printed on this site, tomorrow. Yesterday, I went to Bank of America to withdraw $1500 cash. You would of thought I had a sign around my neck saying that I was a heroin dealer. The teller went and got a bank officer who began to question me: Bank Officer: Sir, what are you using the money for? Me: I am using it for a legal personal matter. Beyond that, it is none of your business. Bank Officer; Sir, we can put a hold on your account. Me: Mr. Bank Officer, I will remove my entire account and deposit it to another bank if I do not have my money in five minutes and I want my money in $100 bills. Bank Officer: Sir, your threats will not work here and if you are not cooperative and fill out this form, I will call the police and notifiy the IRS. (He wanted me to fill out a Cash Transaction Report which is not required unless your withdrawing $10,000 or more) Me: Mr. Bank Officer, I refuse to fill out your report because it is not required unless I withdraw $10,000 and your may call who you want…. You obviously do not know the law and who I am. Between my writing and broadcasting, I reach over 2 million people per month. I would say that statistically about 400,000 people have B of A accounts who listen to me or read my articles. Before the end of this month, you will see sizable withdrawals based upon my recantation of this conversations in the public domain. By the way, I am recording this. The bank officer walked away and disappeared and then came back in a few moments. He instructed the teller to process my request. Bank Officer: I have reviewed your account history and you have been an excellent customer. You are obviously using the money for honorable purposes. I apologize for any misunderstanding. Me: Thank you. The purposes for the use of my money, is none of your business, it is a matter for law enforcement. You should think about this when you try to bully the next guy. I am certain that the threat of my reach and potential action against Bank of America did not influence bank officer’s decision to honor my request. I am sure he called his boss and that they have now filed a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR), and my business affairs will come under the scrutiny of the IRS and possibly the FBI. I have no doubt that they would love to turn me into the next Bundy family member of the banking world. I will have more to say on this topic later in the article. An Interesting Aside I requested that my money withdrawal be disbursed in one hundred dollar bills. They had one, count it, one, one hundred dollar bill in the entire bank. I asked the teller if the bank was making good on the rumor that they were phasing out one hundred dollar bills in their incremental move towards a cashless society. The $10 per hour teller said she they did not know what I was talking about. At that point, and being a little worked up, I asked the teller which arm she was going receive the chip so she could continue buying and selling and working for B of A? She had no idea what I was talking about. “Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do.” I had images of my Lord and Savior chasing the banksters from the Temple. If I only had the courage of my Lord. If I only had the courage of my Lord. I have arranged for a transfer of the funds from the impacted account. Before you move any money, you need to read the following or you risk going to jail: Be Careful Who You Speak With If the Feds do show up to speak with me, I will not be speaking with them about anything of substance. When Martha Stewart was accused of insider trading, Stewart tried to explain away the concerns. That was her big mistake. She was sent to jail for making false statements to federal officials. Note, they can lie to you and try to trick you and the criminal elite have made that legal. But if THEY say you have misled them, or left out one detail, you go to prison and it is your word vs. their word. When and if the FEDS show up at my door. I will be taping and recording myself saying “I invoke my 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination and reserve my right to be represented by an attorney for all questioning. If I am not under arrest, you need to leave my property and I will arrange a meeting with my attorney.” If you say any more, you are probably going to jail. Oh, they will threaten you that you making things hard on yourself and that “things will go easier if you cooperate”. Your answer , and the only thing you should say is “I will fully cooperate with you when my attorney is present and since we all have to abide the Constitution, get the hell out of my house”. Structuring, SAR’s and CTR’s Previously, I mentioned the bank probably filed a SAR on me. and they going to be investigating me for Structuring. Structuring carries a very long prison sentence to go with a hefty fine. The Federal government will automatically investigate any cash withdrawal of $10,000 or more from your account. To remain in compliance with the law, financial institutions must obtain personal identification, information about the transaction and the social security number of the person conducting the transaction. Technically, there is no federal law prohibiting the use of large amounts of cash. However, a CTR must be filed in ALL cases of cash transaction regardless of the reason underlying the transaction. This means your cash transaction will be on the radar. The Feds will automatically investigate you drug dealing, enterprise corruption and/or money laundering. And they can put a lien on everything you own during the investigative process. Remember, keep your mouth shut! There will undoubtedly be some geniuses whose math ability will tell them that all they have to do is to withdraw $9,999.99 and the bank and the guardian of the bank, the federal government will be none the wiser. It is not quite that simple. If over a period of 12 months, you show a pattern of cash withdrawals which fall under the $10,000 threshold of a Cash Transaction Report requirement, you will be convicted of Structuring and go to jail, every time. Therefore, I do not dare go back to any bank with my name on it and make a similar withdrawal. So long as I do not go to a bank in the next 12 months and make a similar withdrawal, the government cannot make a case against me Structuring because it requires multiple withdrawals over a discreet period of time. Structuring transactions to prevent a CTR from being reported can result in imprisonment for not more than five years and/or a fine of up to $250,000. If structuring involves more than $100,000 in a twelve month period or is performed while violating another law of the federal government (e.g. money laundering, drug dealing, etc.), the penalty is doubled. What Should You Do With Your Cash In the Bank? Before, I suggest what one should do with their cash in the bank, I want to make the readers fully aware of how the banking system, along with the muscle provided by the Federal government, have made definitive plans to steal your cash in the bank. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew and the UK’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, on November 10, 2014, ran a joint exercise simulating how they would prop up a large bank (e.g. Bank of America) with operations in both countries that has landed itself in trouble. Also taking part in the “bank failure drill”, which included a cyber attack upon several banks, was Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen and Bank of England Governor Mark Carney, and the heads of a large number of other regulators, in a meeting hosted by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

2. As of November 16, 2014, your bank account has been collateralized against the derivatives debt. Hence, you had, in 2008, former CEO of Goldman Sachs and the Secretary of Treasury, Hank Paulson, telling a closed session of Congress that if they did not authorize the bailouts, there would be tanks in the streets in an ultimately, REVOLUTION! This was necessitated by the credit swap derivatives Ponzi scheme and the debacle that would follow the collapse of the dollar.

3. Further, the bankruptcy reform laws stemming from the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 2005, have given the credit swap derivatives counter-parties preference over all other creditors and customers of the bankrupt financial institution, including FDIC insured depositors. This is why the G20 effectively stole your money on the morning of November 16, 2014! On this action taken by the G20 nations, your bank account is no longer considered to be money. The bankers holding the bag on the credit swap derivatives will move to the head of the FDIC compensation line. In other words, if the banks are collapsed, your money will be used to pay down the derivatives debt. Therefore, the regulations requiring that your money be insured by the FDIC are no longer in effect! This devaluation of “money to something other than money gives what the experts call “super priority” in terms of the line of succession from which to collect bankruptcy monies. The Bank-Bail-ins, or outright cash confiscations are coming. If you do nothing and leave your money in the bank, you and your money will soon be parted. If you recklessly try and withdraw your cash, you and your money will soon be parted and you will be in prison. So what can you do? As the owner of DH Communication LLC, among other things, we own the exclusive rights to The Common Sense Show. We made a collective decision to primarily advertise for business interests that fits our chartered purpose, namely, to help people prepare to survive what is coming. Therefore, we place a premium on accepting advertising from business entities that increase the odds of survival. You would be wise to avoid banking prison that we all live under and make direct purchases of items that you will need to survive the coming economic calamity. If you make purchases directly from your bank account for items you will need, you do not have to worry about Federal banking laws. I know that your NSA threat matrix score will go up, but it is the cost of doing business in a chaotic and corrupt country. Before the crash comes, you will need to take care of these six areas. You will need precious metals- Steve Quayle and Renaissance Precious Metals because your cash will soon be worthless or confiscated. When the cash is gone, you will need a medium of exchange and that will be gold and silver. You will need survival supplies (e.g. water filters, night vision goggles) when an economic collapse will lead to rioting hordes. This is why I shop at Readymaderesources.com You will need to store food, so I use Numanna. In a societal meltdown that will follow a banking collapse, you will need a means to protect your family and your resources. That means you will need guns and gun accessories. For this service I use DETCTactical. And you need to be trained in both tactics and how to use and maintain your weapons. You will need to stockpile medicine. If you are unable to do that, I would recommend going to Dr. Ted Broer’s Health Masters site and ordering natural products which act in the same capacity without the side-effects. Ted has successfully treated myself for two maladies and has had great results with Doug Hagmann as well. Ted is not yet an advertiser, on my site, but will soon be. When you contact Health Masters, mention Dave Hodges, or coupon code DAVE5 and receive 5% off your purchase price. The Patriot community needs a social media platform to interact in and to have access to topics which can serve to educate all the millions of people that Donald Trump is awakening. These people will need a place to grow and to learn how to take their place among a growing group of activists. FACEBOOK, with their censorship and spying, is not that place. Seen.life is that place. No spying, no censorship, no selling of your personal information. Of course, everyone is free to use whatever vendor they choose. However, you need to cover these six critical areas in order to enhance your survival.

Huge Changes Coming April 1st - More Signs Banks Have Begun 'Tightening The Screws' With World On Edge As Insiders Warn: 'Get Out While You Still Can' And 'Try To Hold On To What You Already Have'

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

A notice recently received by Susan Duclos from her bank that we see published below was likely the same notice that a Steve Quayle reader described in a recent SQAlert. Telling her that her 'credit limit' had been changed to a 'credit access line' by a bank owned by JP Morgan Chase & Co., most people who received the notice probably thought nothing of it. However, those same people might find out at the worst of times...possibly when they're standing in line to make a needed purchase...and their 'credit access' is denied despite the fact that they were well under what was once considered their 'credit limit'. We also take a look below at some huge changes that are coming to the SNAP program starting April 1st that could leave up to a million Americans without food and '9 meals closer to anarchy'. We've republished the SQAlert below videos that helps to tell you what your banks and the mainstream media aren't telling us: banks and credit card companies have begun 'tightening the screws' by changing limits on an individual basis if they so deem that your planned purchase needs to be 'censored'. Should we be concerned about the banks telling us what we can or cannot buy? The banks responsibilities are laid out clear as day in the notice below.: "We will assign a credit access line to your account, and post it on your monthly billing statement. We may cancel, change or restrict your credit availability at any time. Each transaction is considered for approval on an individual basis, including those above the credit access line. We may not approve all transactions." A screenshot of the notice she received is here with much more below including word from a banking insider that banks are continuing to prepare for emergency scenarios and a warning from the X22Report in a new video to try our best to 'hold on to what we have'. Why is this bank attempting to censor what its customers are purchasing? This is just one of the most recent things that we have become aware of at ANP that clearly shows the direction we are headed and as we learn in the 1st video below from Dave at the X22Report, Americans would be wise to simply hold on to what we already have as the coming collapse is going to be a rough one. We also learn here that UBS is warning customers to get out of the market before it crashes and this warning echoes one heard back in February in the 2nd video below from Elite NWO Agenda and a Wells Fargo Bank insider that their bank is preparing for an 'emergency scenario' in the near future. Telling us that such an 'emegency scenario' might include closing the doors to the banks completely to only allowing 3 people inside at a time with armed guards posted at the doors we have to ask, what kind of an emergency scenario would require this? While we're told the words 'bank holiday' were never used, it's quite clear that any kind of a 'emergency banking scenario' would likely involve an economic or currency collapse or a collapse of the bank itself. And how will big changes being made to the 'food stamp' program in America that go into effect April 1st affect hundreds of thousands of Americans? Warning that more than 500,000 and as many as a million people will be losing their SNAP benefits as soon as April 1st due to the expiration of waivers, we learn that those affected are mainly childless and extremely poor and most of those do not qualify for any other programs. Aren't an additional million poor in America and hungry in America just another part of the 'powder keg' that is seemingly getting ready to blow in this country? In the 3rd video below we take a look at the 'criminalizing' of the poor in America as the poor are being sent to prison for being unable to pay their bills nor the banks. One extreme example of this happened recently in North Carolina where a man was recently arrested for failing to return a video he had rented all the way back in 2002! Is this how far America has fallen? Arrested for not returning "Freddie Got Fingered", the video store long ago was closed down but the fact that he never returned the video was never forgotten. As with almost any other scenario, if a banking collapse were to happen in America and Americans were unable to get out cash to obtain the basic necessities, those who prepared ahead of time, purchasing food and water amongst other supplies, will fare the best while those who were completely unprepared immediately become everybody else's problems. As has been warned time and time again, only 9 meals stand between civilization and total anarchy. Could a banking collapse bring America to our knees? All we need to do is take a look at what has happened in other nations such as Venezuela to see the power that the 'elite' hold over a nation. Control a nations food and you control everything. CREDIT CARD COMPANIES BEGIN TIGHTENING THE SCREWS AND CHANGING LIMITS ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS-CENSORING YOUR PURCHASES Steve- This morning, 3/21/16, I received notification that the conditions of my Chase Visa credit card agreement changed effective March 18: From JPMorgan Chase & Co. states the following: We will assign a credit access line to your account, and post it on your monthly billing statement. We may cancel, change or restrict your credit availability at any time. Each transaction is considered for approval on an individual basis, including those above the credit access line. We may not approve all transactions. In essence: My credit limit is now a credit ACCESS line which is now subject to their approval/monitoring/CONTROLLING of any/all of my purchases, donations, or uses of their credit access line. I now have to be prepared to have backup means in case they decide to reject my request. It apparently does not matter that you can pay for the purchase, but whether or not they want you to have it. I pay my bills. I am never nor have I ever been late. I do not go over my limit. Was wondering if this has happened to anyone else. Controls are lining up. The squeeze is on. The Chip is next. Thank you for all you do, I have been following your fruits for over a decade. You are very much appreciated and lifted in prayer.

Putin Pushes To Collapse US Dollar In 28 May 2016 ! – Claims Russia Will Never Become A NWO Cashless Society

This collapse will be global and it will bring down not only the dollar but all other fiat currencies, as they are fundamentally no different. The collapse of currencies will lead to the collapse of ALL paper assets. The repercussions to this will have incredible results worldwide. Over the past few years, many experts have been warning of a crisis heading our way. More specifically, the concerns have centered on the inevitable collapse of the U.S. dollar. Who has stated that he believes the U.S. financial system is on the road to disaster. Why are they panicking? Well, the short answer is that monetary stimulus is nearly at an end. But what does that mean for U.S. stock markets? Does it necessarily signal a U.S. dollar collapse in 2016? The answers are far from clear, but there are legitimate fears of an economic collapse. At the very least, a stock market crash is virtually guaranteed. Consider this; at the same time the Federal Reserve is wrapping up its monetary stimulus, we’re seeing a massive reordering of global power. China has evolved from being a regional power to a heavyweight on the international stage. As Financial System Russia successfully annexed Crimea and Eastern Ukraine without any practical opposition from the West, and Iran has been admitted back into the community of nations. The world has changed a lot in a surprisingly short while. We’re no longer living in a unipolar world where America could single handedly dictate terms to everybody else. These days China, Russia, Germany, Iran, and Saudi Arabia are powerful geopolitical forces in their own right. As political power redistributes to these countries, so too will capital flows. The U.S. dollar will be brought down from its pedestal and be measured alongside the yuan and the ruble. That much is clear. Putin Pushes To Collapse US Dollar In 28 May 2016 ! This collapse will be global and it will bring down not only the dollar but all other fiat currencies, as they are fundamentally no different. The collapse of currencies will lead to the collapse of ALL paper assets. The repercussions to this will have incredible results worldwide. Word of the day: Prepare! And do it the old fashion way, like our fore-fathers did it and succeed long before us, because what lies ahead of us will require all the help we can get. Watch this video and learn the 3 skills that ensured our ancestors survival in hard times of famine and war. No money in human history has had as much reach in both breadth and depth as the dollar. It is the de facto world currency. All other currency collapses will pale in comparison to this big one. All other currency crises have been regional and there were other currencies for people to grasp on to. Obama Prepares For W-ar To Save US Dollar From Collapse in 28 May 2016 The dollar collapse will be the single largest event in human history. This will be the first event that will touch every single living person in the world. All human activity is controlled by money. Our wealth, our work, our food, our government, even our relationships are affected by money. A collapse in our currency would result in a spike in inflation. It would also be accompanied by an increase in U.S. interest rates. If the U.S. financial system actually did collapse, it would take the entire global financial system with it. Why? Because there is over $18 trillion in U.S. debt outstanding, with China and Japan being the largest holders. A U.S. collapse would devastate the entire globe. Let’s turn our attention to the national debt, an issue which weighs heavily on the minds of millions of Americans. Brave Vladimir Putin is pushing for a gold-backed currency, ditching fractional reserve banking, and delivering a defiant rebuke to the Western world’s move towards a digital-only cashless society, according to a report circulating in the Kremlin on Friday. President Putin swears he will NEVER stop the circulation of cold hard cash because he considers digital-only cashless currency to be a New World Order tactic to gain control over the public. President Putin has stated his desire to destroy the Illuminati in 2016, and according to Kremlin insiders he believes disrupting the global banking cartel’s plan to ban cash is a key campaign in his war against the New World Order. The Rothschild controlled global banking lobby want a digital cashless system because this will give them even more control over us. They want to monitor and control every single transaction, while destroying real world currencies so they can issue money that doesn’t exist, creating impossible financial burdens for the masses, all the while accumulating extraordinary real wealth and power for themselves. A larger global currency shift is underway… And it may be happening much more quickly than anyone has realized. Things are definitely in motion. Call it a game of musical chairs, or an exercise in rearranging chairs on the Titanic, or just that a tilting balance of power. Just don’t make the mistake of thinking this is all routine. China has been quietly stockpiling gold for years now. In fact, it is stockpiling so much gold that many have speculated that it may be building a gold-backed yuan currency that would make the Dollar pale in comparison on the global market. Royal Bank of Scotland is warning their investors to sell virtually all their investments. More than that, Putin has been positioning his motherland to team up with China to solidify the emerging BRICS system which aims to thwart decades of Anglo financial dominance with a un-dollar currency system that will also include a development bank.

George Soros gives John Kasich $700,000 to stay in race

Posted on March 26, 2016 by Dr. Eowyn | 48 Comments

Ohio governor John Kasich has won only one GOP primary, that of his home state, and yet international currency-manipulator and political mischief-maker George Soros just injected $700,000 into Kasich’s campaign to keep him in the race. Gualberto Garcia Jones, JD, reports for LifeSiteNews, March 16, 2016, that although it is now a mathematical impossibility for Kasich to reach the necessary 1,237 votes to win the GOP primary nomination outright, he has vowed to stay in the race, betting on a brokered convention along with a suspension of the convention’s rules to clinch the nomination. In fact, Kasich can’t even qualify for the convention’s ballots because a candidate must win at least 8 states before he can be considered. However, there may be a different reason for Kasich to remain in the race, and that can be discovered by a search of his 2016 Presidential campaign donations lists. Those lists reveal that George Soros, personally and through surrogates, has donated over $700,000 to Kasich’s campaign, including: The Soros Fund Management as the 6th highest individual donor with $202,700. The Duquesne Family Office as the 7th largest donor with $150,000. Stanley Drukenmiller, who operates the Duquesne Family Office and who manages $2 billion of Soros’ hedge funds, donated $150,000 to Kasich’s New Day for America Super PAC. Scott Beset, who is employed by the Soros Fund Management and was Soros’ chief investment manager until late 2015, donated $200,000 to the same Kasich Super PAC. George Soros, Scott Bessent, and Stanley Drukenmiller represent George Soros just as New Day for America and Kasich for America represent John Kasich. So what could motivate Soros’ donations to the all but moribund Kasich presidential campaign? In a recent op/ed in The Guardian, Soros piously wrote that “we must reaffirm our commitment to the principles of open society and resist the siren song of the likes of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, however hard that may be.” Soros has already funded Hillary Clinton’s campaign to the tune of $8 million. In other words, Soros is funding the Kasich campaign to help elect Hillary Clinton by sabotaging the GOP primary process. George Soros has tirelessly used his billions to promote the culture of death in the U.S. and across the world: Soros is the third largest donor to Planned Parenthood, donating $20 million in 2011 alone to build abortion mills in the “south and southeast regions” of the United States. Soros is one of the largest donors to the campaign to legalize abortion in the Republic of Ireland. Soros is accused by Peru’s Cardinal Cipriani of imposing his own agenda in support of homosexuality and abortion by the coercive force of his donations to the country’s radical organizations. Soros has funded efforts to legalize assisted suicide in the United States. Soros’ groups have directly attacked pro-family organizations like Mass Resistance, funded the sex-trafficking ACORN organization, and the radical activist MoveOn.org organizations. John Kasich is against abortion, but makes exceptions for rape and incest; he said he favors Ohio defunding Planned Parenthood. Given Soros’ evil track record, one must ask why John Kasich would accept his blood-tainted money. Meanwhile, Soros’ tentacles extended to last Tuesday’s Utah caucuses. According to Breitbart, one of Soros’ associates, Lord Mark Malloch-Brown, is the chairman of Smartmatic Group, the electronic voting firm that ran the online balloting process in the Utah Republican Open Caucuses. Malloch-Brown is also on the board of George Soros’s Open Society Foundation and has close ties to the billionaire.

HEIDI CRUZ: HER EVIL PAST IS NOW BEING REVEALED

By John Spring March 26, 2016 NewsWithViews.com

While I am aware that Heidi Nelson Cruz apparently does suffer from deep depression, just after Hillary Rodham Clinton, she is the next person to be feared the most in this presidential race for 2016. Yes, I believe in common decency, but I also stand for the dignity of women, which means that they must be respected and treated equally even if it requires the truth. In an article written by Jesse Byrnes for The Hill that was released today on March 25, 2016, under the title "Trump aide fulfills threat to 'spill the beans' on Heidi Cruz," he reports on the recent interview on MSNBC that Steve Kornacki had with Katrina Pierson who is an aide for Donald Trump. See video below. According to Katrina Pierson, "Spilling the beans is quite simple when it comes to Heidi Cruz. She is a [George W.] Bush operative; she worked for the architect of NAFTA, which has killed millions of jobs in this country; she was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations who—in Sen. Cruz's own words, called - a nest of snakes that seeks to undermine national sovereignty; and she's been working for Goldman Sachs, the same global bank that Ted Cruz left off of his financial disclosure. Heidi's entire career has been spent working against everything Ted Cruz says that he stands for." According to the Council on Foreign Relations when Heidi Cruz was on the CFR-sponsored Independent Task Force on the Future of North America in 2004, she served at the White House under Dr. Condoleezza Rice as the Economic Director for the Western Hemisphere at the National Security Council as Director of the Latin America Office at the U.S Treasury Department, and as Special Assistant to Ambassador Robert B. Zoellick, then U.S. Trade Representative. Previously, Heidi Cruz had been employed with J.P. Morgan at New York. Heidi Cruz had contributed to the writing of Building a North American Community, which was published by the Council on Foreign Relations and released in May of 2005. Its goals were the following:

1. ESTABLISH A COMMON SECURITY PERIMETER BY 2010

2. DEVELOP A NORTH AMERICAN BORDER PASS

3. DEVELOP A UNIFIED NORTH AMERICAN ACTION PLAN

4. LAW ENFORCEMENT AND MILITARY COOPERATION

5. SPREAD BENEFITS OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

6. ESTABLISH A SEAMLESS NORTH AMERICAN MARKET FOR TRADE

7. INCREASE LABOR MOBILITY WITHIN NORTH AMERICA

8. NORTH AMERICAN POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS

All of the aforementioned goals were designed to establish a supranational government that would destroy our nation's sovereignty and supersede our Constitution as the forthcoming North American Union with its own currency call the Amero. The proposed "North American Border Pass" would essentially "erase" our international boundaries with Canada and Mexico. To "Establish a Common Security Perimeter" for North America and "Increase Labor within North America" would weaken our national defense because we would no longer have any authority or control over who enters Canada or Mexico from overseas or elsewhere in the Western Hemisphere. As a graduate from Claremont McKenna College, the Solvay School of Economics and Management at the Free University of Brussels, and Harvard School of Business, Heidi Nelson Cruz had the opportunity to attend some of the finest private institutions of higher learning in the world. So, as a woman, she has access to effective "analytic tools" for business. But based upon her own record, she has contributed to one of the repressive administrations and also an organization that is attempting to destroy our nation's sovereignty as well as our former standard of living, which has plummeted since NAFTA. So when we think about what Heidi Cruz has already accomplished to destroy America, we must be objective and become aware of her evil past as we should already understand about Hillary Clinton. This is why you must take the time to check these "allegations" for yourselves by searching on the Internet. Otherwise, the same clandestine or "hidden" powers in America will continue to destroy our jobs, our families, our homes and our freedom. Please, wake up now before you no longer have that opportunity to do so! May all of you have a blessed Passover and a happy Easter as well as a better tomorrow!

Just how many ways can a nomination/election be stolen from a legitimate candidate? There are the nonviolent, unethical and illegal means to steal an election. There are also false flag events which can be created in order to derail a candidacy as well. This article examines both of these possibilities. Why both? Because the criminal elite that run this country will NEVER let Donald Trump implement the anti-globalist policies that Trump claims he will stop upon his ascendancy to the White House. Please note that this article will discuss the major options of criminal elite up to the Republican National Conventional this summer. Part Three of this series, to be released tomorrow, will discuss the false flag possibilities in a post-convention period in which Trump emerges as the nominee. The Republican Leadership Is Willing to Destroy the Republican Party In Order to Stop Trump I am still in shock that South Carolina Senator, Lindsey Graham (R) would actually suggest that if Trump won the Republican nomination, that Republican voters should vote for Clinton? In another series of stunning statements, the GOP leadership has told the American people that their vote, and subsequently, their voice means nothing because the party leadership will choose the candidate, not the expressed will of the people. CNBC recently reported: Political parties, not voters, choose their presidential nominees, a Republican convention rules member told CNBC, a day after GOP front-runner Donald Trump rolled up more big primary victories. “The media has created the perception that the voters choose the nominee. That’s the conflict here,” Curly Haugland, an unbound GOP delegate from North Dakota, told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Wednesday. He even questioned why primaries and caucuses are held. Haugland is one of 112 Republican delegates who are not required to cast their support for any one candidate because their states and territories don’t hold primaries or caucuses. Even with Trump’s huge delegate lead, the billionaire businessman may not ultimately get the 1,237 delegates needed to claim the GOP nomination before the convention. This will lead to a brokered convention, in which unbound delegates, like Haugland stated, could play a significant swing role on the first ballot to choose a nominee. I believe that the following is what a brokered convention will produce which is another Romney/Ryan Presidential ticket. In my opinion, an unindicted Clinton will sink this Republican dynamic duo faster than a submarine with screen doors. From the Federal Election Commission website:

The forces have aligned and in a nonviolent confiscation of the nomination process, the Republicans will ignore the will of the people. Why Would the Republicans Commit Political Suicide? The answer to this question is simple. Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, Lyin’ Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, John Kasich, et al (congress), get elected solely based upon corporate campaign contributions. These are the same campaign contributions, from the corporations who devised and hoodwinked the country in a series of free trade economies which have enriched these corporations to unparalleled heights, but have broken the backs of the American working people. The corporations are not going to give up this corrupt system without a war and neither are their political minions (eg. Lindsey Graham). If they are willing to commit poliican suicide, is there anything that they will not hesitate to do in order to preserve the status quo? The American people better hope that if Trump is to be stopped, that it happen in a manner similar to what it being described here. Because the other alternatives are very undesirable. Assassinate Trump If Trump appears to have secured the nomination, he could be dealt with in a manner similar to Robert Kennedy when it strongly appeared that he was going to be the surprise nominee after winning the California Democratic Primary in 1968. RFK, too, was a contrarian candidate and he was assassinated. Also, in the past I compared RFK with the mythical character, Howard Beale, in the movie, Network. Beal was gunned down on national TV in order to serve a message that dissent and interference with a master agenda would not be allowed. If it deemed that there has been too much attention placed upon the assassination possibility, through such things as Facebook sponsoring an assassinate Trump Facebook page, then the stakes and consequences for the American people grow much higher. The Republican National Convention Will Become the American Version of the Reichstag Fire What do despots do when they cannot achieve full power and control? They begin to blow things up and burn things down. Nowhere was this philosophy on greater display than it was when Hitler’s henchmen engaged in burning down the Reichstag (ie the German Congressional building), prior to the complete takeover of the German government. How would this philosophy manifest itself in today’s political climate? The easiest parallel application would be a false flag attack upon the Republican Convention in Cleveland and then blame ISIS for the event. The simplest method would be to have a suicide bomber fly an explosive laden plane into the Convention at a time a maximum occupation and high drama. With the Republican Party in shambles, the favorite candidate of the criminal elite, Hillary Clinton, waltzes into the White House. And what a note for her to begin her Presidency, in which extreme totalitarian government would be called for to fight the new domestic threat of massive ISIS attacks on American soil. This would call for martial law, FEMA camps and complete suspension of the Constitution and Hillary is just the “leader” to lead America into its darkest days. Conclusion As distasteful are the “stop Trump” presented here may appear to be, they are tame in comparison to what could lie ahead for the American people should Trump secure the nomination. Then it will be no longer a case of stopping Trump. It will be a case of stopping the newly awakened American people. Things could get very, very ugly. This will be the topic of tomorrow’s article.

Cross-species organ production report sparks debate about ethical concerns of stem cell science

By medical reporter Sophie Scott Posted 20 Mar 2016, 3:14pm

A report citing new techniques that could allow scientists to harvest animal organs for human transplants has raised concerns about the potential ethical and legal ramifications of stem cell science. "New techniques for cross-species organ production could provide a source of human organs for life-saving transplants," the report from the Australian Academy of Science said. One of the authors of the report, Professor Patrick Tam from the Children's Medical Research Institute and the University of Sydney, said advances in some areas of stem cell science had the potential to have tremendous impacts on human health, yet also presented many ethical and legal concerns. The report singles out fertility research as an ethical minefield. "Experimental models involving human embryonic stem cells and human-non-human chimeras (a person with two genetically distinct types of cells) provide crucial insights into early human development that may be key to solving problems of infertility or treating developmental disorders, but also raise legal and ethical issues of 'synthetic' human-like embryos," Professor Tam said. The leading scientists want regulations regarding stem cells relaxed but with an informed discussion about what is appropriate. "We need a balanced and scientifically grounded discussion to inform policy-making in this rapidly changing arena," they said. "In some cases, this may include creating a more permissive regulatory system for some areas of research to enable faster knowledge translation." Call for crackdown on 'rogue' stem cell treatments The report raises concerns about the rise of stem cell tourism, saying sanctions should be enforced against 60 practitioners offering unproven therapies for conditions from cancer to Alzheimer's disease. The ABC has highlighted a number of controversial unproven stem cell therapies being offered by Australian doctors. Megan Munsie, an associate professor from the University of Melbourne, said this "industry" was potentially unbeneficial, even harmful, to patients. "It will also reduce the credibility of stem cell therapies and researchers in the eyes of the public, slowing progress in the field," she said. The Academy of Science is calling for a national program to increase community awareness of stem cell research and cell-based and regenerative therapies. "This is critical to furnish Australians with information to understand the boundaries between proven stem cell-based treatments (such as blood stem cell transplants), promising new therapies being evaluated in clinical trials and unproven treatments offered by 'rogue' clinics," it said. Scientists say new tools being developed in molecular biology, such as gene-editing, offer great potential but also raise ethical concerns about the possibility of permanently modifying the human genetic code. "While it is essential to maintain an awareness of these concerns, the potential impact of these types of research justifies finding a framework to allow it to proceed in an ethical manner," the report authors said. "Considering the initial hesitation and scepticism towards IVF during its inception, compared to its wide level of public acceptance today, we must keep an open mind about novel and challenging concepts and ideas." The authors said the potential benefits that stem cell science could bring to Australia were enormous. "Australia needs to support research in this exciting field to realise the benefits in both economic returns and the health and wellbeing of Australians," they said.

Nearly 20,000 support petition to allow guns at Republican National Convention

Published March 26, 2016 FoxNews.com Facebook Twitter livefyre Email

Nearly 20,000 people have signed a petition to allow the open carry of firearms at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July. The group Americans For Responsible Open Carry started the petition on Change.org on Monday, according to the Akron Beacon-Journal. The petition had a goal of 5,000 signatures and by Wednesday it had reached the goal. As of early Saturday morning, the group had reached just over 18,000 signatures. The GOP Republican National Convention is going to be held at the Quicken Loans Arena from July 18-21. The Ohio Republican Party told the Beacon-Journal it wasn’t aware of the petition. The Secret Service along with Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, state and federal officials are handling the security at the event. The Secret Service banned guns at the GOP Convention in Florida four years ago. “They are coordinating and will be continuously refining security plans leading up to the national convention,” Republican National Convention spokesperson Alee Lockman told the newspaper. The group has a list of demands for the convention. First, the group wants the arena to suspend its open-carry ban during the convention. The group then wants the NRA has to condemn Ohio’s law banning guns in some public places. “Policies of the Quicken Loans Arena do not supersede the rights given to us by our Creator in the U.S. Constitution,” the petition reads. Americans For Responsible Open Carry also want presidential contender Ohio Gov. John Kasich to use his executive power to override the so-called gun-free zone loophole in Ohio’s law. RNC Chairman Reince Preibus also must explain how “a venue so unfriendly to Second Amendment rights was chosen for the Republican Convention and have a backup plan to move the site if the group’s demands aren’t met. Finally they call for the three other candidates to pressure the GOP to protect the Second Amendment. Ohio is an open-carry state, but they are not permitted in the Statehouse and even if concealed, could be banned by businesses and property owners, according to the Beacon-Journal. Quicken Loans Arena forbids guns and weapons of any kind from “heavily attended” events. The arena said it is following the state’s concealed carry law and the right for private businesses to ban firearms on its property. The petition claims that because Cleveland is one of the most dangerous cities in the world, forcing attendees to leave their weapons at home is putting everyone at risk. “Without the right to protect themselves, those at the Quicken Loans Arena will be sitting ducks, utterly helpless against evil-doers, criminals or others who wish to threaten the American way of life.”

Painfully Blunt Focus Group says Hillary Clinton “Lied about Lying” and is the Worst Liar We’ve Ever Seen!

By Onan Coca / 28 March 2016

In one of the most painful focus groups that I have ever witnessed, a collection of undecided voters told the unadulterated truth about one of the presidential candidates. After watching a short clip of CBS’ Scott Pelley asking Hillary Clinton if she had ever lied to the American people, which led to an extremely awkward part of the conversation. Scott Pelley: You talk about leveling with the American people. Have you always told the truth? Hillary Clinton: I've always tried to. Always. Always. Scott Pelley: Some people are gonna call that wiggle room that you just gave yourself. Hillary Clinton: Well, no, I've always tried -- Scott Pelley: I mean, Jimmy Carter said, "I will never lie to you." Hillary Clinton: Well, but, you know, you're asking me to say, "Have I ever?" I don't believe I ever have. I don't believe I ever have. I don't believe I ever will. I'm gonna do the best I can to level with the American people. Yeah. It was bad. You didn’t buy it, and neither did the focus group. Here’s what a couple of the ladies had to say about what they saw. “You could turn off the sound and still see on her face that she was lying. She was the worst liar I think I’ve ever seen in my life.” Another woman added, “She lied about lying.”

Sen. Joe Manchin 'horrified' by Hillary's demand to kill coal industry

March 25, 2016 9:52 AM MST

Today, West Virginia's Democratic Senator Joe Manchin revealed he was "livid" when Hillary vowed to put the coal industry 'out of business' during a CNN town hall debate. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that during the televised performance, the Democratic front-runner said what no West Virginian wants to hear: "We’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business." In the aftermath of President Obama's war on "dirty" fuels, no state has been hit harder then West Virginia's coal miners. Sen. Manchin retells of his reaction to that comment in an interview with the WSJ: "It was horrific," he says. Not only did the senator endorse Hillary last year in her bid to be president, but he believed that she was the best candidate to have a "pragmatic" view of the coal industry. Unlike most of his Democrat counterparts, Manchin has been an outspoken critic of Obama's Clean Power Plan. Just recently, the Supreme Court issued a stay along partisan lines on the EPA's sweeping new regulations in order to give states and industry time to litigate the matter through the courts. It's also one of the reasons President Obama nominated Merrick Garland to replace Justice Antonin Scalia, who sided with the stay. As a judge, "Garland has in a number of cases favored contested EPA regulations and actions when challenged by industry, and in other cases he has accepted challenges brought by environmental groups." After Hillary made her comments at the town hall debate on March 13, Manchin called Clinton's campaign and spoke directly with the presidential candidate. "I called her," Manchin said. "I said, 'My God.'" He says he told Clinton that if she really meant what she said, "we can just part ways." Manchin says he also told her that, "You probably don’t need West Virginia. Maybe you don’t even think you can win it and don’t need to win it. I really don’t know how your team is evaluating our state." The state's Democratic primary is set for May 10, and Clinton won it during her failed 2008 bid against a first-term senator named Barack Obama. The last time a Democrat won the state in a general election was Clinton's husband, Bill. After Hillary's gaffe, the prospects look even bleaker, especially in coal-producing states getting hammered by the current administration. Of all the coal-producing states, West Virginia has lost the most coal mining jobs than any other, due in large part to the current administration's onerous rules and visible disdain for coal-fired power plants. The Clean Power Plan, while is currently on hold, is still being implemented by many blue states because the EPA has said they will prevail in court. If Garland is nominated to the Supreme Court, he could be the deciding factor in completely destroying the coal economy in numerous states. Many don't realize that killing coal also means destroying America's steel industry. Manchin even admits that while Clinton is popular in his state, they will have a hard time in the general election. The other opponent, Bernie Sanders, is an outspoken critic of coal and fracking and has vowed to shut them down and replace them with renewables. The problem is that solar can cost six times more than natural gas and coal-fired power plants, which isn't lost on voters. Even the EPA's head, Gina McCarthy, has stated publicly that all these new climate regulations would not avert global warming, but it would show the world we are in a leadership role. Manchin also says his state has gone through "more hardship and more poverty under this administration" and that "a lot of things have happened that doesn’t make the Democrats popular in the state of West Virginia on a national level." When given a chance to explain herself, Clinton told Manchin she "didn't want to sever ties." Manchin adds that Clinton told him: "Joe, no. I don’t want to do that. That’s not who I am. I understand what the hard working coal miners and the hard working people of West Virginia have done for their country." All this may explain why voters consistently poll that Hillary is untrustworthy. She even sent a personal letter saying she had "erred," writing that she wanted to clarify her recent statements about coal workers. "Simply put," Clinton wrote, "I was mistaken in my remarks." Prior to that letter, Clinton back-peddled even further saying she meant migrating coal workers to renewable energy technologies. She also said that she "meant that market forces including cheap natural gas, rather than government policies, are hammering the coal industry." More simply, don't blame Obama, blame fracking (she's also against that method for extracting natural gas as well). Manchin also says that Hillary and Bill have been "friends" and have "always been there and have been very helpful." He adds, "They’ve never told me something they couldn’t do and wouldn’t do. And they’ve never not done what they said they would." If that sounds like a weak-kneed tongue-twisting seal of approval, it actually puts the proverbial noose on Clinton's neck, and not Manchin himself. If Hillary's elected and she carries out her CNN gaffe/promise, Manchin can point to her waffling during the election. Sen. Manchin also says he can see the ads running relentlessly on TV being used against her, and worst of all, himself, in the upcoming election. Her comments will be "plastered and re-plastered and used against her. It will be used against me and everybody else who has a ‘D’ by their name." In 2008, then-Sen. Obama pledged to "bankrupt" coal companies, which so far has been successful. One of the largest coal companies, Peabody Energy, may be seeking bankruptcy protection. They would join companies like Arch Coal and Alliance Coal, two more companies struggling in Obama's anti-coal economy.

Push for Transparency Continues Over City's Unprecedented RNC Riot Gear Request

Posted By Sam Allard and Eric Sandy on Wed, Mar 23, 2016 at 10:55 AM

The city of Cleveland is seeking an unprecedented amount of riot gear and security equipment for July's Republican National Convention as emotional unrest and physical violence follow the GOP front runner across the U.S. Donald Trump, in fact, has predicted riots if he wins the most number of delegates but is not formally nominated during the convention. It’s a prediction that local leaders have called “irresponsible” and “dangerous,” and one which continues to fuel the narrative that repressive, military police tactics are necessary during the RNC. This month, the city posted a request for bids on a spectrum of riot gear: 2,000 sets of riot-control suits and 26-inch batons, three miles of steel bike-rack-style barriers, 25 sets of tactical armor, 300 patrol bicycles and 310 sets of bicycle riot control gear, among other equipment needs. (The police department does not currently have a bicycle unit; nor does it have a training program for such.) The bid package dwarfs similar requests from cities that hosted national conventions in recent history. Bids are due next week, with hearings and an eventual vote to follow. All equipment must be confirmed and purchased by June, with a $50 million federal grant waiting as reimbursement for the city’s equipment and personnel costs. The RNC itself will be held July 18-21. A $100-million security grant, split between Cleveland and Philadelphia, comes via the Omnibus Appropriations Bill that Congress approved at the end of last year. This amount has been standard for convention-hosting cities since 2004. Philadelphia, which will host the Democratic National Convention, has not yet announced its plans for specific equipment purchases. But while the security stockpile is part and parcel of “national special security event” (NSSE) planning, the numbers at play in Cleveland are prompting national scrutiny and local concern. To compare a bit: In 2012, the city of Tampa used its stream of federal grant funds to purchase 147 sets of riot helmets, upper body and shoulder protectors, shin guards and tactical gloves — $1.9 million for the defensive gear, all told. The city also purchased everything from gas masks and T-shirts to surveillance cameras and $15 million in law enforcement liability coverage. The batch of weaponry and security equipment pales in relation to Cleveland’s anticipated $20-million request. The lion’s share of these federal grants — the remaining $30 million, in Cleveland’s case — goes toward personnel costs: overtime hours for local police, payment and lodging for outside law enforcement, catering for everyone involved. But it’s the equipment purchases that tend to be more impactful, because the militarized gear, surveillance equipment and expensive tech remain in the city’s ownership after the convention has left town. “Every time an NSSE occurs, it becomes a vehicle for a permanent scaling up of surveillance in the host cities...In [2012 convention host cities] Tampa and Charlotte, the militarization of police departments through the purchase of new equipment and technology will continue to make an impact on city residents long after the conventions,” the National Lawyers Guild wrote in a 2013 paper on security at those cities’ conventions. Surveillance cameras that were installed in Tampa and Charlotte in 2012, for instance, remained in place after the Convention. And even though much of the equipment Cleveland is purchasing is hardly “militarized” — police horse raincoats, hydration packs, to name a few — eyebrows are still rising across the United States because of a perceived compressed timeline. The convention begins in less than four months. The police chief who oversaw the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte said he’d ordered riot gear eight to nine months before the convention, and that a three-month lag should be expected on all orders. (“Good luck with that one,” the former chief rhetorically told The Boston Globe, in reference to Cleveland's late-in-the-works bid requests.) On March 21, a crowd of 20 activists and community leaders stood on the steps of Cleveland City Hall to denounce the opacity surrounding the city's request for security equipment. The group insisted on greater transparency in the run-up to the event and a plan to "demilitarize" the police department following the RNC. “We think about this continuum of force,” Jeff Miller, technology director of ACLU Ohio, said. “It seems that most of what we’re hearing about would be pieces of equipment that are on the higher end of the continuum of force. No one here wants the police to be unprotected, but no one here wants to see citizens on the receiving end of police violence.” The city has been incredibly tight-lipped about the entire process. "We won’t comment on security issues,” is the go-to excuse, these days, for not divulging records nor allowing media into public RNC-related meetings. Dan Williams, Cleveland’s director of media relations, when contacted by Scene Tuesday, said that his deferring all security-related questions to the Secret Service was at that agency’s request. Councilman Brian Cummins, a stickler for transparency, told Scene that he’s frankly not expecting much information. He suspects the secret service is working in conjunction with Police Chief Calvin Williams, Safety Director Michael McGrath and Finance Director Sharon Dumas on the acquisition of equipment, and he’s not counting on them being especially forthcoming. One alleged logistical wrinkle brought up by the Boston Globe was that a current Ohio state law precludes officers from other jurisdictions from using local police powers within city limits. For the Charlotte DNC, the North Carolina Legislature passed a temporary law giving the Charlotte-Mecklenburg PD the ability to swear in officers from other jurisdictions so they would have the same authority as Charlotte police. A City Council spokesperson, however, said that that report was untrue. Safety Director McGrath has the authority to temporarily swear-in officers without special approval from the state. In Cleveland, CPPA President Steve Loomis has said that 1,800 officers (both from Cleveland and elsewhere) have been committed to work the Convention. Cleveland 19 reporter Dani Carlson Tweeted that she was reaching out to law enforcement agencies in Ohio and “most counties” said they hadn’t been asked to help. The Boston Globe reported that the Chicago Police Department is considering pulling out. Council President Kevin Kelley told Scene he didn’t know how far along the process of securing additional officers was, but said that, in general, the swearing-in would be relatively streamlined. For him, the greater concern is ensuring that officers get adequate training with unfamiliar equipment that may arrive later than expected. Tuesday afternoon, Cleveland City Council issued a press release reminding the media that the city has been hard at work “sprucing up” public areas, and that the “ultimate authority” over law enforcement rested with the U.S. Secret Service and the Dept. of Homeland Security. However, the release said: “The Cleveland Police Department has been working for more than a year with federal, state and area law enforcement agencies to ensure that various forces are in coordination with each other… Cleveland is dispatching an additional 4,000 to 5,000 police officers from various law enforcement agencies throughout the region. The extra forces will ensure that Cleveland’s neighborhoods are not without police patrols during convention activities downtown.” City council spokeswoman Joan Mazzolini said 4,000 was definitely the goal and the number could be as high as 5,000. That number would include local, county and suburban officers, state troopers, and the Ohio National Guard. Other than the iffy Chicago Police Department, Mazzolini said she didn’t know of other specific departments that might be called upon. Mazzolini said that all temporary officers will be paid by the City of Cleveland for their service. The Cleveland Community Police Commission, a 13-member body formed as part of the U.S. Department of Justice consent decree, is posing questions as well. Scene spoke with Mario Clopton, co-chair of the commission, hours after the group met with Police Chief Calvin Williams on March 22. “We asked some very straightforward questions,” Clopton said. “Where is the money going for resources? Where is the money going for training? What is being done to ensure that the footprint being left by the equipment purchase doesn’t leave the division of police having an over-militarized feel? What is being done to train the incoming officers and personnel that are non-CPD officers and personnel, to ensure that they are abiding by the culture of police reform that is happening within the consent decree?” Oddly enough, in Philadelphia, where Democrats will descend one week after Republicans descend upon Cleveland, the dual specters of outside agitators and a militarized police force have rarely come up. The mood is anxious, Philadelphia Inquirer City Hall reporter Claudia Vargas told Scene by phone, but not over potential protests. People are worried that the convention there is going to be a logistical headache, a lot like the Papal visit in September, 2015. “It was a disaster,” Vargas said. “And so the city is really trying to tell people that the Convention’s going to be much less intrusive, confined to the stadium areas.” And much like In Cleveland, Philadelphia leaders are citing the merits of non-convention-related media coverage for the city.

The Brain Mapping Project: Obama’s Brave New World–The Loss of Free Will

President Obama is making new investments in the “BRAIN” Initiative — a bold new research effort to revolutionize our understanding of the human mind and uncover new ways to treat, prevent, and cure brain disorders like Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, autism, epilepsy, and traumatic brain injury. Look at the graphic posted on Obama’s White House site and tell me we don’t have anything to be concerned about. The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies, or BRAIN, as the project is now called, aims to reconstruct the activity of every single neuron as they fire simultaneously in different brain circuits, or perhaps even whole brains. “The “next great American project,” as Obama called it, could help neuroscientists understand the origins of cognition, perception, and other enigmatic brain activities, which may lead to new, more effective treatments for conditions like autism or mood disorders and could help veterans suffering from brain injuries.” The Noah Factor If one knew that the human race and all other species were going to go extinct through natural consequences, or were going to be wiped out, a Noah’s arc would likely be built in order to reconstruct the planet in someone’s, certainly not God’s, image. If one can read through the lines, the following quote from the project speaks to this possibility. “The BRAIN initiative proposes to develop new technologies that can record the activity from thousands, if not millions or billions, of neurons simultaneously at timescales matching behavior and mental activities. The initiative will likely tackle discrete brain circuits within different species of animals to understand how neurons work together to give rise to behaviors, moods, and other mental phenomena.” Having read volumes on this topic, it is quite clear that this technology is a decisive first step toward controlling an organism by controlling the processes which controls thought. Unmistakable Referencing to Mind Control Brain mapping under the guise of research has the strong appearance of being a whole lot more than someone’s laboratory investigation. Consider the very telling excerpt in which project managers state that they want to implant electrodes in hundreds of cell membranes by an army of nan0particles which will allow these nanoparticles to become apart of the cell membrane functioning. The process is descried in the project managers own words: “…Nanoprobes bearing several dozen electrodes, for instance, could be stacked to probe hundreds of thousands of recording sites and transmit data wirelessly. Alternatively, nanoparticles carrying molecules that bring them to specific cell types could lodge in cell membranes so surgical placement wouldn’t be necessary. The nanoparticles could also carry molecules that can sense electrical activity, pressure, or even certain chemicals revealing brain activity.” Selective Serotonin Reuptake inhibitors (SSRI’s) are absorbed by the cells upon consumption. What’s reuptake? “It’s the process in which neurotransmitters are naturally reabsorbed back into nerve cells in the brain after they are released to send messages between nerve cells. A reuptake inhibitor prevents this from happening. Instead of getting reabsorbed, the neurotransmitter stays — at least temporarily — in the gap between the nerves, called the synapse”. Ok, now I am going to make this simple. The serotonin is not stored within the cell membrane because of the nature of the SSRI. However, in the brain mapping project, the nanoparticles are embedded directly into the cell membrane where all proactive thinking and reactive thinking originates. The Brain Mapping Project has just described how they will control all thought and consequently all action. Disbursement of the Nanoparticles Site injections would be the primary means of disbursement and this modern day “invasion of the body snatchers” would do its work. Some cell sites could be enhanced and some could be disabled depending on the end game goal. This part of the technology has already been developed. See my previous investigation in to the genesis of this technology beginning with Jose Delgado whose technology was based upon frequency modulation. Different frequencies produce different behaviors resulting from different mood states. The globalist enforcement agents cannot go door to door and administer these silver bullet mind control injections. However, these changes can be ingested in a macro fashion through chemtrails and HAARP. There are researchers who are looking into the possibility that GMO foods are a conducting agent of this process as well. The jury is still out on the latter. In 1961, mind control researcher, Jose Delgado was able to implant the hypothalamus of a cat with a transducer and manifest an uncontrollable rage in the animal. Keep in mind that this technology is over 60 years old. One can only imagine how far this technology has come during that time. Delgado’s famous bull fight and the angry cat are depicted in the following video. The lesson is clear, embedded chips can turn normal people into crazed killers and it can take crazed killers and turn them into passive beings. Interestingly, the most famous graduate of the MK Ultra program was the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski. What becomes clear at this point is that through the Brain Mapping Project, they have learned how to bypass the brain’s safeguards and go directly into the cell membrane. In the second part of the mind control endeavor, it is clear that the researchers will combine a modern day application of Delgado’s original work alter the frequency of the cell membrane of an organism and control the origination point for all thought. And with Chemtrails and other disbursement strategies, the entire population can be impacted. Dave Hodges and Josh Coy Discuss the Technology This video also includes a discussion of how the globalists will block Trump from ever getting the nomination. One has to wonder if any aspect of this nature will ever be applied and could it be applied to this, the most controversial election in American history. Technology is neutral. What makes technology evil is the inherently sinful nature of man. At the State of the Union Message, Obama wholeheartedly endorsed the project. It easy to understand why. This is Obama’s Brave New World. This will prove to be evil incarnate.

NORTH KOREA ISSUES ULTIMATUM TO SOUTH KOREA: APOLOGIZE NOW OR FACE IMMEDIATE MILITARY ACTION!

Post by U.S.Reporter - Mar 26, 2016

Maniac North Korean fat man Kim Jung Un's government has issued an Ultimatum to South Korea: Apologize for hurting the dignity of their Leader or face immediate war. If South Korea does "not respond to the ultimatum of the KPA, the long-range artillery force of the KPA large combined unit on the front will move over to merciless military action," the North's long-range artillery force said in an English-language ultimatum, referring to the North Korean military's official name. North Korea also demanded South Korea hold a public execution of those who plotted a plan to strike at the North Korean leadership. A Pentagon military analyst having followed the KCNA news stories for several years tells SuperStation95 "this KPA ultimatum carries none of the usual caveats. It is a straight, do this, or we do that ultimatum. However, there is no deadline, so maybe a little wriggle room." He went on to say "I think we may just have a real crisis brewing this time..."

California bans commercial crab fishing due to excessive radiation in seafood

Sunday, March 27, 2016 by: David Gutierrez, staff writer

(NaturalNews) In November of last year, California state officials placed an indefinite hold on the commercial crab season, in order to protect public health. The reason given by the state was dangerously high levels of algal toxins in the bodies of the crabs. But according to New York radio station 95.1 FM (SuperStation 95), insiders from the California Fish and Game Commission have revealed that the real reason for the ban was dangerously high levels of radioactivity resulting from the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster. Radioactive crab are so dangerous to eat that state officials felt the need to protect the public, Superstation 95 reports. But officials were unwilling to publicly admit the true reason for the ban, which contradicts official claims that the Fukushima disaster poses no threat to the U.S. West coast. The official story Officially, California's crab season was closed due to a record bloom of an algae called Pseudo-Nitzchia, also known as red tide. The record red tide began in April, stretched as far north as Washington, and dissipated around October. Some patches were as much as 40 miles wide. Red tide is dangerous because it produces a neurotoxin called domoic acid, which can cause tremors, memory loss and even death. Even though the tide dissipated in October, California officials claimed that domoic acid from the tide had accumulated at dangerous levels in seafood, particularly crabs. In late December, the state partially lifted the crab ban, allowing some fishing off the coasts of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. But consumers are still advised to rinse these crabs before cooking them, and to avoid eating their internal organs. Will Fukushima destroy the West Coast fishing industry? But according to SuperStation 95, this story is only a ruse to conceal the fact that California crab contains dangerous levels of radioactivity from the Fukushima disaster. In March 2011, a massive earthquake and tsunami triggered multiple meltdowns at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Enormous amounts of radioactive material were ejected into the atmosphere, most of which later settled into the ocean. Since then, more radioactivity has continued to pour into the ocean from the coastal plant. Prevailing ocean currents have been sweeping that radioactivity eastward ever since, and radioactive isotopes from the disaster are now being detected off North America's west coast. SuperStation 95 says it was contacted by workers from the California Fish and Game Commission, who chose to remain anonymous in order to avoid retribution. The station reports that these workers said that crab, especially Rock crab, contained levels of radiation so high that state officials were concerned they could cause immediate sickness in anyone who ate them. "If people started connecting the dots proving radiation in seafood was making them sick, it would utterly destroy California's seafood industry in days," SuperStation 95 quotes the sources as saying. Although shutting down the crab-season dealt a major short-term blow to the state's seafood industry, high-ranking officials were more concerned with the industry's long-term health, the station reports. Therefore they instructed the Fish and Wildlife Commission to come up with "some other reason for cancelling the crab season, so as not to panic the public or wreck our industry." The crab are not the first West Coast seafood to be reported radioactive. A recent study found that 100 percent of Pacific bluefin tuna tested off the coast of California contained radioactive materials from the Fukushima disaster. Among the radioactive isotopes already detected off the U.S. west coast is strontium-90, which mimics calcium in the human body and therefore accumulates in the bones. There it can cause cancers of the bone and blood.

EXCLUSIVE – Top Jihadist Claims Brussels, Paris Are Terror Rehearsals for ‘Big’ Attack Inside U.S.

by Breitbart Jerusalem26 Mar 20167,744

TEL AVIV – The deadly terrorist attacks in Brussels last week and in Paris last November are dress rehearsals for a coming “big” attack inside the United States, a leading Islamic State-allied militant claimed in an exclusive interview. Abu al-Ayna al-Ansari, a Salafist movement senior official in the Gaza Strip, made the claim in a pre-recorded, hour-long interview to air in full on Sunday on “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio,” the popular weekend talk radio program broadcast on New York’s AM 970 The Answer and NewsTalk 990 AM in Philadelphia. Klein doubles as Breitbart’s senior investigative reporter and Jerusalem bureau chief. Ansari is a well-known Gazan Salafist jihadist allied with Islamic State ideology. During the interview with Klein, Ansari seemed to be speaking as an actual IS member, repeatedly using the pronoun “we” when referring to IS and even seemingly making declarations on behalf of IS. IS has been reluctant to officially declare its presence in Gaza for fear of a Hamas clampdown, but the group is known to be active in the coastal enclave and Ansari is a suspected IS leader. IS-aligned militants have taken responsibility for recent rocket fire from Gaza aimed at Israel. Klein asked Ansari whether IS maintains cells inside the U.S. and if the terrorist group is “planning anything in America.” Ansari responded: Aaron, the battle with America is a very long one, a very tough one, a very hard one. America has a black record with the mujahedeen, and this black record will not be purified but with blood, and lots of blood. Only blood will cleanse what America did to the mujahedeen. And I can confirm that our leadership made it very clear that what happened in Paris, what happened in Brussels was only a small rehearsal before the big thing that will happen in America. This is the commitment; this is the engagement of our leadership to the mujahedeen. I cannot give details and the truth is that I don’t know the small details – how many agents we have and where we have them. This depends on our leaders, the Caliph, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and the general military commander, Abu Omar al-Shishani. They will decide when and where to strike in the United States. But I can tell you that when we are in touch with our different components, with the leaders of the Islamic State. They confirm, they make it very sure and very clear that it is only a question of time when there will be a strike in America. And as I said before, what you saw in Paris, what you saw in Brussels will be only a small rehearsal in comparison with what will happen in the United States. Ansari’s reference to senior Islamic State commander Abu Omar al-Shishani as alive and active comes after the Pentagon announced earlier this month that a U.S. airstrike on March 4 near al-Shaddadi, Syria targeted al-Shishani. The Pentagon did not make an official statement about whether al-Shashani was killed in the strike, but it told reporters on background that he was “likely killed.” IS has denied that Shishani was killed.

‘Russia at war with Anglo-Saxon media’ – Putin spokesman

Published time: 27 Mar, 2016 05:42 Edited time: 27 Mar, 2016 12:11

One of the main reasons Russia has a “bad” global public image is the ongoing information war being waged by Anglo-Saxon media, President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said, while blaming Turkey’s leadership for a deadlock in relations. READ MORE: US gears up to fight Russian ‘disinformation’ with… disinformation Peskov made his remarks in an interview with Russian channel TVC that aired on Saturday. The fairly frank assessment was disclosed while he was speculating on why it was so hard for Russia to improve its international image. Peskov added that he believes both Moscow and Washington have suffered as a result of the infowar. “They say that Russia has a bad public image. Do you know who else now has a bad image – the United States. We are currently in a state of information warfare with the trend-setters in the information space, most notably with the Anglo-Saxons, their media,” Putin’s spokesman said. “Look at the pressure on our media in some European countries. I'm not talking about the states that recently joined the EU, like the Baltic States with their strong anti-Russian sentiment. It's a different story, time heals all the wounds. Now, take the Brits. They put a lot of pressure on RT for [the channel's] editorial policy – that actually amounts to nothing but indirect censorship. We constantly come under fire for alleged censorship in our country, but when we come under pressure in other countries, one simply turns a blind eye to it," Peskov said. He added, however, that modern communications make it hard to put pressure on the media. “As a matter of fact, it has become inefficient to exert pressure. With the current speed of information dissemination and the diversity of communication channels, an attempt to stifle certain flows of information holds little promise. That's why when RT or our news agencies or our web resources provide alternative information flows, they become very popular and sought after. And not just among our allies, but also in countries that are under the siege of anti-Russian sentiment.” He also said he believes Russia would be better off if it was more deeply integrated in the global economy. “We need to advocate for it. We need to make our economy more competitive and involved in global competition. Only then will we confidently stand on our feet,” he stressed. Commenting on the prospects for an improvement in US-Russian relations, Peskov cautiously noted some progress, but stressed that the Kremlin, doesn’t have any “illusions.” READ MORE: Kerry in Moscow: Penny has dropped; isolating Russia was never going to work “I think it is possible to say that there have been positive advances. They lie in mutual atmosphere, because if we compare the atmosphere with what it was a year ago, then of course there is an evident desire to communicate, and there is readiness. At least now the understanding has matured that there is no alternative to dialogue in resolving issues which cannot be delayed,” he observed. ‘If I was Erdogan’s spokesman, I’d resign’ Commenting on an even worse diplomatic crisis, Peskov called the rift in Russian-Turkish relations a “handmade disaster,” saying that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s spokesperson should have resigned over the way he mishandled the crisis. “If I held that office and things had gone the way they went, I would have resigned. Six months ago our relations with Turkey could be called exemplary. Then this disaster happened, and that disaster was handmade. Ankara was its author, and only it can control the damage,” Peskov said. Apparently, neither Erdogan, nor his spokesman or chief policy advisor, Ibrahim Kalin, has ever apologized for Turkey shooting down Russia’s Su-24 bomber in November. Erdogan’s government insisted that Turkey had been defending its “sovereignty” when it responded to the Russian jet’s alleged seconds-long violation of its airspace. The warplane had been striking terrorist positions in Syria. Interestingly, Erdogan’s spokesman, Kalin, is a fellow at Georgetown University’s Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding. Russia didn’t get much understanding with respect to this incident, however, despite having set up a special direct hotline with the Turks to avoid just such a situation during the Syrian air campaign. Moscow denied that its plane had crossed the border and demanded an apology for the tragedy, which resulted in the death of two Russian servicemen – a pilot, as well as a marine sent to an area controlled by Turkey-backed militants as a member of a rescue mission. As the crisis unfolded, Turkey made several moves that, in Russia’s view, only worsened the situation. Ankara failed to communicate with the Russian military immediately after the incident, instead calling an emergency session of NATO, which Moscow perceived as an attempt to hide behind the block in order to avoid possible retribution. Turkey also failed to take any steps to arrest the ethnic Turkish rebel fighter who bragged about killing the Russian pilot as he was parachuting down to the ground, an act that is considered a war crime by international law. The pilot’s killer, who is a member of a radical Turkish nationalist group, has since visited Turkey and given interviews to the Turkish media. “I believe that the fallout from this disaster will not be fully cleared up for generations to come.” Peskov noted, adding that at the moment, Russia simply won’t talk to Turkey. “This is out of question until Ankara does what has to be done is such a situation,” he said.The Kremlin spokesman also voiced skepticism over offers from Azerbaijan to play mediator between Turkey and Russia to mitigate the damage. “Those attempts ended in nothing. Any attempts to mediate this situation can’t but fail, for obvious reasons,” Peskov said. READ MORE: Syria to replace Turkey on Russia's fruit & vegetables market Other topic covered in the interview included the Ukrainian conflict, the war in Syria, the prospects for Kurdish independence, and other policy items that fill Peskov’s plate as Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman.

Franklin Graham rips San Francisco mayor

Evangelist praises N.C. guv for protecting citizens from 'perverts and sexual predators'

Published: 3 days ago Bob Unruh

North Carolina’s legislature hadn’t even fully finished its work on a new statewide nondiscrimination standard before the pushback started from those who advocate a transgender agenda of open restrooms. In fact, even the NBA groused about the plan and all of a sudden said there could be problems with having the basketball league’s all-star game in the city because of its “discrimination.” But that’s all bunk, according to no less than the governor of North Carolina and renowned faith leader Franklin Graham. On his Facebook page on Saturday, Graham noted one of those apparently trying to bully North Carolina into doing what they want. “San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee says he is banning all city employees from job-related travel to North Carolina in protest of the action N.C. Gov. Pat McCrory and the general assembly just took to preserve basic privacy and protect its citizens from perverts and sexual predators,” Graham wrote. “Outlasting the Gay Revolution” spells out eight principles to help Americans with conservative moral values counter attacks on our freedoms of religion, speech and conscience by homosexual activists “Can you believe it? I think Mayor Lee needs to focus on the problems of San Francisco – which are many – and leave N.C. to our governor to manage. He and others who are threatening N.C. with all kinds of boycotts really need to get their facts straight rather than believing the misinformation promoted by the Progressive Left,” wrote Graham, who heads the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, which is headquartered in Charlotte. “The measure just passed doesn’t allow discrimination at all,” he pointed out. “These issues are facing many states, and we need to stand up for what is right. I’m so thankful N.C. has a governor and a majority of legislators at the capitol who have some backbone and aren’t being pushed around by the dangerous whims of LGBT activists. “I hope every pastor in every church across this country will pray for Gov. McCrory and these issues in their services [on Easter] – and that they will stand against the onslaught on morality and God’s truth in our nation.” His link was to the governor’s website, where McCrory was, well, a little bit blunt. “Myths vs Facts: What New York Times, Huffington Post and other media outlets aren’t saying about common-sense privacy law,” he headlined a page. There, he blasts away at the assumptions of those in the “progressive left,” as Graham describes them. “Does this bill take away existing protections for individuals in North Carolina?” is one question. “No, in fact, for the first time in state history, this law establishes a statewide anti-discrimination policy in North Carolina which is tougher than the federal government’s. This also means that the law in North Carolina is not different when you go city to city.” Transgender advocates had argued that they felt unsafe using the restroom of their biological identity, which basically is what the new state law provides. McCrory’s site addressed that in a number of ways, explaining, despite what’s been claimed in leftist reports, “If a privately owned sporting facility wants to allow attendees of sporting events to use the restroom of their choice, or install unisex bathrooms, they can. The law neither requires nor prohibits them from doing so. “This law simply says people must use the bathroom of the sex listed on their birth certificate. Anyone who has undergone a sex change can change their sex on their birth certificate.” He said North Carolina law already prohibited bullying and harassing behavior based on sexual identity.” The law was adopted, he explained, because the Charlotte city council “voted to impose a regulation requiring businesses to allow a man into a women’s restroom, shower, or locker room if they choose. This ordinance would have eliminated the basic expectations of privacy people have when using the restroom by allowing people to use the restroom of their choice.” He explained the regulation was opposed by parents, businesses and others concerned about privacy, as well as safety concerns “that this new local rule could be used by people who would take advantage of this to do harm to others.” WND had reported late on Wednesday when McCrory signed into law a bill that had been adopted by lawmakers earlier that day in a one-day special session. Specifically of concern was the fact it would let, even specifically protect under law, biological men who enter and use women’s facilities. WRAL reported among those testifying in favor was Chloe Jefferson, a junior at Greenville Christian Academy. She said she was frightened by the prospect of a boy in the girl’s bathroom or locker room. “It’s hard enough for young girls to deal with body image without having boys around when they change clothes,” she said. “I am not the only girl scared,” she added. The station also reported Heather Garofalo’s plea for the law. “Business owners like myself, we would be forced to check our deepest-held beliefs at the door or suffer fines of $500, jail time, lawsuits,” she said. “I am asking for right to provide for my family.” The new law sets a statewide standard for anti-discrimination ordinances and requirements and was moved through the state House and Senate, including committees, in about nine hours on Wednesday. In a statement released at the time, McCrory said the “basic expectation of privacy in the most personal of settings, a restroom or locker room, for each gender was violated by government overreach and intrusion by the mayor and city council of Charlotte.” Democrats in the GOP-controlled state legislature walked out of the debate on the bill before the Senate passed it 32-0. The House previously adopted it by a 84-24 vote. “This radical breach of trust and security under the false argument of equal access not only impacts the citizens of Charlotte but people who come to Charlotte to work, visit or play,” the governor said at the time. “This new government regulation defies common sense and basic community norms by allowing, for example, a man to use a woman’s bathroom, shower or locker room.” McCrory said that while “local municipalities have important priorities working to oversee police, fire, water and sewer, zoning, roads, and transit,” the mayor and city council of Charlotte “took action far out of its core responsibilities.” A number of other jurisdictions across the U.S. have passed transgender-rights measures, including Houston, where voters overturned an ordinance initiated by the city’s lesbian mayor. “Outlasting the Gay Revolution” spells out eight principles to help Americans with conservative moral values counter attacks on our freedoms of religion, speech and conscience by homosexual activists While LGBT activists have had their way in dozens of other cities around the nation, observers viewed the state action as a setback to the transgender campaign. In advance of Wednesday’s session, Alliance Defending Freedom Legal Counsel Kellie Fiedorek commended the lawmakers for “listening to the voices of thousands of North Carolinians and taking the common-sense action of ensuring that no women or young girls are forced to undress, shower, or engage in other private activities in the presence of men.” In a joint statement, Lt. Gov. Dan Forest, president of the Senate, and House Speaker Tim Moore had said: “The Senate and House have received the necessary number of signatures from members of the general assembly to call themselves back into session. In accordance with the State Constitution, we will so call for a special session. We aim to repeal this ordinance before it goes into effect to provide for the privacy and protection of the women and children of our state.”

Life in The Electronic Concentration Camp. The Government With Its Arsenal Of Technology Is Going In Order To Accustom The American People To Life In A Police State

What is most striking about the American police state is not the mega-corporations running amok in the halls of Congress, the militarized police crashing through doors and shooting unarmed citizens, or the invasive surveillance regime which has come to dominate every aspect of our lives. No, what has been most disconcerting about the emergence of the American police state is the extent to which the citizenry appears content to passively wait for someone else to solve our nation’s many problems. Unless Americans are prepared to engage in militant nonviolent resistance in the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr. and Gandhi, true reform, if any, will be a long time coming. Yet as I detail in my articles every time, if we don’t act soon, all that is in need of fixing will soon be unfixable, especially as it relates to the police state that becomes more entrenched with each passing day. By “police state,” I am referring to more than a society overrun by the long arm of the police. I am referring to a society in which all aspects of a person’s life are policed by government agents, one in which, all citizens are suspects their activities monitored and regulated their movements tracked their communications spied upon their lives, liberties and pursuit of happiness dependent on the government’s say-so That said, how can anyone be expected to “fix” what is broken unless they first understand the lengths to which the government with its arsenal of technology is going in order to accustom the American people to life in a police state and why being spied on by government agents, both state and federal, as well as their partners in the corporate world, is a problem, even if you’ve done nothing wrong. Indeed, as the trend towards over-criminalization makes clear, it won’t be long before the average law-abiding American is breaking laws she didn’t even know existed during the course of a routine day. The point, of course, is that while you may be oblivious to your so-called law-breaking – whether it was collecting rainwater to water your lawn, lighting a cigarette in the privacy of your home, or gathering with friends in your backyard for a Sunday evening Bible study – the government will know each and every transgression and use them against you. As noted by the Brookings Institution, “For the first time ever, it will become technologically and financially feasible for authoritarian governments to record nearly everything that is said or done within their borders – every phone conversation, electronic message, social media interaction, the movements of nearly every person and vehicle, and video from every street corner.” As the following will show, the electronic concentration camp, as I have dubbed the surveillance state, is perhaps the most insidious of the police state’s many tentacles, impacting almost every aspect of our lives and making it that much easier for the government to encroach on our most vital freedoms. They range from free speech, assembly and the press to due process, privacy, and property, by eavesdropping on our communications, tracking our movements and spying on our activities. Tracking you based on your consumer activities Fusion centers, federal-state law enforcement partnerships which attempt to aggregate a variety of data on so-called “suspicious persons,” have actually collected reports on people buying pallets of bottled water, photographing government buildings, and applying for a pilot’s license as “suspicious activity.” Retailers are getting in on the surveillance game as well. Large corporations such as Target have been tracking and assessing the behavior of their customers, particularly their purchasing patterns, for years. In 2015, mega-food corporations will be rolling out high-tech shelving outfitted with cameras in order to track the shopping behavior of customers, as well as information like the age and sex of shoppers. Tracking you based on your public activities Sensing a booming industry, private corporations are jumping on the surveillance state bandwagon, negotiating lucrative contracts with police agencies throughout the country in order to create a web of surveillance that encompasses all major urban centers. Companies such as NICE and Bright Planet are selling equipment and services to police departments with the promise of monitoring large groups of people seamlessly, as in the case of protests and rallies. They are also engaging in extensive online surveillance, looking for any hints of, “large public events, social unrest, gang communications, and criminally predicated individuals.” Defense contractors are attempting to take a bite out of this lucrative market as well. Raytheon has recently developed a software package known as Riot, which promises to predict the future behavior of an individual based upon his social media posts.

Meet the largest science project in US government history—the James Webb Telescope

Precision? The Webb can detect heat generated by a bumblebee as far away as the Moon.

by Lee Phillips - Mar 25, 2016 8:00am EDT

Since Galileo first discovered the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus, telescopes have gotten larger, more accurate, and more powerful. They're now installed all around the world from mountaintop observatories to suburban backyards. And over those 350 years, all of them have battled the same enemy: our Earth’s atmosphere. The thin layer of nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide that makes life possible on our planet makes observation of everything beyond the planet maddeningly difficult. The atmosphere absorbs a great deal of the light outside the visible part of the spectrum, blocking or severely attenuating information about the cosmos. Its turbulent motions distort what does get through. It scatters our own light back down into our eyes and instruments, making the night more like a slightly darker day, washing out all but the brightest celestial objects in a haze of light pollution. We can reduce this atmospheric obfuscation slightly by situating our observatories at high altitudes, far from population centers. But it is not enough. If only we could open a hole in our gaseous shroud and peer through it... ...but obviously, we can't. As such, researchers can do the next best thing. By 1990, we had years of experience putting machines into orbit around the Earth, outside of the troublesome atmosphere. Some of these machines were even telescopes of a sort, but they pointed toward the Earth in the service of intelligence agencies rather than science. Putting an astronomical telescope in space was a natural solution, and it followed directly—and, according to some, very directly—from the spy satellite program. The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in that year, and it continues to return images even today. After a repair mission to correct its notorious optical defect, it has surpassed expectations, gifting us with inspiring images of galaxies, gas clouds, colorful nebulae, and planets in formation. The Hubble takes advantage of its position 360 miles above the surface to gather information that would be absorbed by the atmosphere. It sees mainly in the visible part of the spectrum, extended slightly into the near infrared and ultraviolet. But there is much information about the Universe that is invisible even to the Hubble Space Telescope—and that's where NASA's much hyped, two-decades-in-the-making, $8.8 billion-plus James Webb Telescope comes in. The Universe in infrared Given its limitations, the Hubble is part of a system of four telescopes in space collectively known as NASA's Great Observatories Program. The other devices are Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (now retired), the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and the Spitzer Space Telescope. The Spitzer sees in infrared light, the part of the electromagnetic spectrum commonly known as heat. The others observe the most energetic wavelengths of light. We get information about our terrestrial environment in several forms via personal sensors that correspond to most of them: sound through our ears; pressure and temperature through our skin; gravity through the semicircular canals in our middle ears; small molecules through smell and taste receptors. Light is perceived through our eyes. In space, no one can hear you scream, and there's precious little to taste or feel. We get some data from the flux of various particles, but most of what we know about the cosmos comes in the form of light. Some of this light falls in the visible part of the spectrum and forms the images brought to us by optical telescopes. These range in quality from nearly all amateur hardware to the orbiting Hubble. But there are crucial insights hiding in other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, as well. The collection of microwave data led to the analysis of the cosmic microwave background, verifying key elements of the Big Bang model. The search for forming planets and advanced extraterrestrial civilizations is carried out using radio astronomy. The Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory made many unique observations, including the discovery of an antimatter fountain in the Milky Way. X-ray observation is a central part of astronomy, and the Chandra Observatory continues to advance this field. Past achievements include the discoveries of black holes, galactic winds, and enormous X-ray-producing jets hundreds of thousands of light years long. The infrared part of the spectrum, just as the others, carries unique types of information. We’ve known for a long time that our Universe is expanding and that the farther away something is, the faster it is receding from us. The velocity of light in a vacuum is always the same, so its color is shifted if there is a relative velocity between us and its source. If we are moving closer together, the spectrum is shifted toward smaller wavelengths, a so-called blue shift. And if the source of light is moving away from us, its spectrum is shifted toward longer wavelengths: a red shift. The farthest (and therefore, oldest) objects in the Universe are receding the fastest, so they have the largest red shift. In fact, their spectrum is shifted so far that the visible light (and some of the UV) emitted by the oldest stars and galaxies reaches us as infrared light. The telescope will be situated near and make a slow orbit around the Lagrange point called L2, as the L2 point itself makes an orbit around the Sun. What is a Lagrange point? If you have two gravitating objects in space, in this case the Earth and Sun, these points are where you can put another object and have all three stay in place relative to each other. As the Earth orbits the Sun, the five Lagrange points all rotate with it as if they were all attached by rigid rods. In fact, the Lagrange points are such desirable neighborhoods that some small asteroids have moved in to L4 and L5. (L1, L2, and L3 are not as welcoming, as they are what is known as “metastable” points.) The Lagrange points can also be suitable places to park an artificial satellite if you want it to stay in place (relative to the Earth) for a long time. We’ve already done this on several occasions, using L2 for the WMAP, Herschel, and Planck satellites. The previous occupant of the L2 Lagrange point was the Herschel Space Observatory, named after William Herschel, who discovered infrared light around 1800. It ended its mission in 2013, after which it was sent into an elliptical orbit around the sun. The Herschel, operated by the European Space Agency with partners including NASA, was designed to see in the far infrared, where the most active star-forming galaxies emit the maximum energy. (The Webb is designed to be most sensitive in the near-infrared.) As noted above, L1, L2, and L3 are metastable. Satellites parked here would drift away eventually unless occasional orbital corrections are made. You can think of the stable L4 and L5 points as the bottoms of hills—objects placed there will stay fixed unless bumped over the edge. The metastable points are like the centers of wide saddles. Objects not exactly centered will slowly fall away unless they are nudged back into position. These nudges are supplied to the Webb Telescope by small rocket engines, which are supplied by enough fuel to last 10 years. After this time, the Webb Telescope will drift away into retirement. The idea of an orbit around an empty point in space may not be immediately intuitive. The discovery of the various types of orbits around L1, L2, and L3 is a reminder that celestial mechanics continued to progress after the eighteenth century. They were found in 1966 by Robert W. Farquhar, who was following up an idea that Arthur C. Clarke had in 1950. Although there is no mass at the Lagrange point, there is a balance of forces from the Sun, Earth, and the centrifugal force that arises from being in a rotating reference frame with the Sun at the center. All these force vectors add up to create a kind of virtual gravitational attraction at the Lagrange point, as if there were a mass located there. It will take the Webb Telescope a month-long journey of 1.5 million kilometers to reach its home at L2. It will settle into an orbit around L2 with a period of six months and a distance from the Lagrange point about the same as the distance from the Moon to the Earth. One reason for this orbit, rather than a stationary existence at L2, is to keep the telescope out of the shadow of the Earth. Unlike the Hubble, which passes into and out of the shadow of the Earth every 90 minutes, the Webb Telescope will be able to make observations without interruption. In addition, the orbit around L2 will keep the Earth, Moon, and Sun in about the same direction, which will make it possible to shield the observatory from the heat emanating from all three bodies. At the same time, keeping the Sun in view of the hot side of the observatory is essential because of its need for solar power. Webb Telescope technology The Webb Space Telescope’s mission is to achieve unprecedented levels of precision in infrared astronomy. In order to accomplish this, a host of technological innovations are being applied. We'll briefly describe only a few of these. Cooling Again, it is essential for an infrared telescope to be kept as cold as possible. The visuals of the Webb Telescope are dominated by a tennis-court sized structure that will shield the observatory from the heat of the Sun and Earth. Although it looks solid, it's mostly empty—the heat shield exploits the unsurpassable insulating properties of the vacuum of space. The rest is a series of layers made from Kapton, a material similar to plastic food wrap, coated with highly reflective aluminum and doped silicon. Infrared radiation bounces back and forth between these layers and out the sides, while the vacuum prevents heat from being conducted through to the instruments. The shield is highly effective: the telescope will operate at about 225 degrees Celsius below zero, colder than liquid nitrogen at Earth’s atmospheric pressure. The hot side of the satellite, by contrast, will be near the boiling point of water. Four of the five layers are calculated to be sufficient for the cooling requirements of the telescope, but an extra layer is needed to compensate for the partial loss of shielding that may occur from the accumulated damage due to micrometeors. Mirrors and Optics The primary light-gathering mirror of the Webb Space Telescope is enormous, consisting of 18 hexagonal segments that fit together to make a mirror 6.5 meters across. A mirror this large was needed to make a telescope sensitive enough to see the details that the Webb is intended to see, but its sheer size presents some challenges for a device that is going to be put in a rocket. The segmentation solves the problem of geometry: it allows the mirror to fold up to fit inside the spacecraft. The second problem is weight. If the Hubble’s mirror were to be enlarged to Webb proportions, it would simply be too heavy to launch. The solution was to fashion the Webb’s mirror segments from beryllium, a light, strong metal that holds its shape under extreme cold. From there, the segments are coated with gold for high infrared reflectivity. At the recent AAAS meeting, Mather revealed that contracts for the construction of mirror segments were given to 12 companies that claimed to possess the necessary expertise. Only one of them was able to deliver. Each hexagonal segment is equipped with six actuators that can position it to a precision of 1/10,000th the thickness of a human hair, plus an additional actuator attached to its center that can adjust its curvature. Adjusting all the mirrors individually can create a single large mirror with a perfect focus. NASA studied the problem of how to construct a large mirror to these precise tolerances over four years in collaboration with the Air Force and the National Reconnaissance Office, the agency in charge of spy satellites. The traditional alliance between space telescopy and espionage is alive and well. Data and command transmission The Webb Space Telescope is designed to never need service, and in fact it probably can't be serviced or repaired. The Hubble, specifically designed with astronaut-serviceable components, is currently the only satellite that is capable of being fixed or upgraded while in orbit. In a conversation with Matt Greenhouse, who joined the project in 1997 and is project scientist for the Webb Telescope science instrument payload, he mentioned that it is not inconceivable that a refueling mission may be dispatched in a decade to extend the life of the Telescope. However, the cost-benefit decision for maneuvers like that would be made at a later date. The Webb’s location at the L2 Lagrange point would make servicing challenging, but it means that it will always be approximately in the same location with respect to the Earth and always within sight of a ground station. We will be able to talk to the telescope and receive data from it continuously. The planned mode of operation is to uplink command sequences and downlink data up to twice per day through the Deep Space Network, using ground stations in Australia, Spain, and California. The telescope can execute a sequence of pointing and observing commands autonomously. The Space Telescope Science Institute will upload a week’s worth of commands at one go and can make modifications daily as required. The telescope will produce about 235 Gigabits of astronomical data every day that will need to be absorbed by the Deep Space Network. This requires a bandwidth higher than 10 megabits per second, a new threshold for communications to the L2 point. To get these high data rates meant changing the frequency used previously for communications through the space network and upgrading the entire communications infrastructure. A side effect of this will be a new communications standard to be used in future missions as well. On the subject of data, the Webb Telescope will follow the policy in place for the Hubble, which is to embargo data for a one-year “proprietary period” for the benefit of investigators working on funded projects. After that, the data is to be released to the public. A long struggle The James Webb Space Telescope almost did not survive the combination of construction delays and the politics of science funding. Congress reacted to a ballooning budget and delays in schedule by nearly canceling it in 2011. Killing it probably would have received some support from scientists themselves. Given the reality that any particular segment of the science budget is a zero-sum game, any large project will typically drain funds from a collection of smaller research projects. Typically, the victims are efforts in basic science that, while important, may not be easy to explain to the public. They're also unlikely to involve job-creating sub-projects scattered over several states that make them attractive to members of Congress. The Webb Telescope was not immune to this kind of friction, and 18 planetary scientists signed a letter opposing the possibility of its draining funding from other science projects. etc. and the news story continues..

3/25/2016 — Government Permits DRONES to be used for Weather Modification — Spraying to induce precipitation

March 25, 2016 Michael Janitch

Two years ago, in 2014, we reported that the US Government had approved (authorized) weather modification experiments to be done across areas of Nevada using unmanned drones. Also in 2014, we also managed to capture organized (possible drone) cloud seeding being done directly over Las Vegas Nevada during overnight hours. Now in 2016, successful flight tests of a new multi-rotor Weather Modification drone have been made public, along with pictures of the drone in cloud seeding flare spray mode. The drone is approximately 4 feet wide, and can carry multiple flares to spray the areas on command without human intervention. Fully autonomous versions are in development now. Picture of the spraying drone in operation provided by DRI: The most recent news on these weather modification drones showed up in Science Daily (March 25, 2016). https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/03/160325093945.htm  “March 25, 2016 Scientists and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) engineers have successfully flight tested the first-ever autonomous cloud seeding aircraft platform. Cloud seeding flare tests were deployed from Drone America’s DAx8 UAS aircraft flown in Reno in late January.” Directly from DRI: Autonomous cloud seeding aircraft successfully tested in Nevada Revolutionary project uniting DRI expertise and Drone America technology http://www.dri.edu/news/dri-news-and-press-releases/5237-autonomous-cloud-seeding-air craft-successfully-tested-in-nevada “RENO – A team of Nevada scientists and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) engineers have successfully flight tested the first-ever autonomous cloud seeding aircraft platform. Cloud seeding flare tests were deployed from Drone America’s DAx8 UAS aircraft flown in Reno in late January. As the first phase in a new industry-academic research partnership between the Desert Research Institute (DRI), Drone America, and AviSight, the test flight of a DAx8 multi-rotor aircraft with attached cloud seeding cargo validates the potential for UAS to significantly enhance airborne seeding operations, explained Adam Watts, Ph.D, the project’s lead and an assistant research professor at DRI. “This is a major milestone,” said Watts. “Utilizing our state’s FAA test site designation, we were able to fly this advanced aircraft right here in Northern Nevada and verify that UAS are fully capable of carrying active cloud seeding payloads.” The DAx8 is a robust multi-rotor aircraft for commercial and industrial applications. The unique eight-rotor design allows for the DAx8 to carry large payloads, while the advanced software and GPS guidance provide the aircraft with self-stabilizing capability and multi-waypoint navigation. “We are extremely excited to have completed yet another step in reaching our goal of autonomous cloud seeding application,” said Mike Richards, President and CEO of Drone America.“Our joint research program with DRI is well on its way to revolutionizing the cloud seeding industry by providing safe airborne seeding with significant potential of providing relief to people in drought-stricken areas.” The next phase of the project will be to conduct flight planning and test airborne flare deployment with Drone America’s Savant fixed-wing aircraft, said Watts. This project is supported through Nevada’s Knowledge Fund. For more information about DRI’s cloud seeding program please visit www.dri.edu  For more information about Drone America please visit http://droneamerica.com/  ” I wonder if the NOAA weather modification form(s) were filled out and submitted by DRI before and after doing these tests? Nice that NOAA hid the WeatherMod form recently, and made it only available upon request! NOAA only made this censorship move after we called them out for having a weather modification form while the National Weather Service DENIED any current government weather modification activities are taking place. Luckily, we have the form saved for good in archives. http://www.corporateservices.noaa.gov/noaaforms/eforms/nf17-4.pdf  We sent a reporter to directly ask the director of the National Weather Service about current weather modification activities taking place. See the NWS director deny knowledge of current weather modification activities, saying that companies who spray don’t tell the government because the information is PRIVATE to the companies doing the Weather Modification. What are they spraying to generate precipitation (rain + snow)?

Can These Next-Gen Antibiotics Defend Against Bioterrorism?

By Penn State | March 21, 2016

Early tests of radically redesigned antibiotics suggest the drugs could bolster defenses against biowarfare and bioterrorism. In a study of animal cells and macrophages, researchers used two inhibitors—KKL-10 and KKL-40—to stop the proliferation of Franscisella tularensis, bacteria that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control classifies as a tier 1 select agent because the strain is highly infective and easily spread, says Kenneth Keiler, professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at Penn State. The compounds target ribosomes in the translation phase of the bacteria’s genetic process, he adds. For bacteria to grow and proliferate, protein-generating ribosomes, like engines rolling down a track, must travel down the messenger RNA (mRNA) to translate additional proteins. However, when the ribosomes become stuck, the bacteria dispatches ribosome rescue factors—tmRNA, ArfA and ArfB—to free the ribosome. Keiler says that KKL-10 and KKL-40 were able to halt this rescue operation in the bacteria without damaging host cells. Nasty Biological Weapon “At the beginning of the study, we identified compounds that block rescue of ribosomes that are stuck on mRNA, and these have antibiotic activity against a number of pathogens that we can test in the lab,” says Keiler. “In this study, first, we wanted to test the compounds against a pathogen that is important for biodefense and we also wanted to make sure that these compounds would work inside eukaryotic cells.” MORE: Germ-Pocalypse on the Horizon? Is the Antibiotic Apocalypse Nigh? Franscisella tularensis can cause fatalities in up to 60 percent of the cases if left untreated, says Girish Kirimanjeswara, assistant professor of veterinary and biomedical sciences at Penn State, who worked with Keiler. It was also stockpiled as a biowarfare agent during the Cold War. “In today’s world of terrorism, it is essential that we are well-prepared to defend ourselves and our military personnel against biowarfare agents,” says Kirimanjeswara. “In that regard, finding new targets and antibiotics against these agents is critical and our research shows that these compounds may be very. "Bacteria Can’t Resist Them After decades of using antibiotics to kill pathogens, more and more diseases have become resistant to conventional drugs and treatments, according to the researchers, who report their findings in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy. This has increased the urgency to find new drugs and new ways of stopping pathogens. “There are many pathogens that are resistant to all existing antibioticsif you are infected with one of these totally resistant strains and show up in the clinic there’s nothing the doctors can do for you,” says Keiler. “If your immune system can fight off the infection, you’ll survive and if it can’t, you die. It’s back to pre-1940s-era medicine. If we don’t develop new drugs and the resistant genes are going to continue to spread, more and more diseases will become untreatable.” MORE: the US Faces Rival Powers Waging Hybrid Warfare ISIS Is Aggressively Pursuing Development of Chemical WeaponsT: Officials He suggests that because the researchers are using a new compound and targeting a new pathway, Franscisella tularensis—and possibly other pathogens—may struggle to adapt resistance to the treatment. “One of the good things about our compounds is this is a new chemical, so it’s unrelated to any of the existing drugs, which means maybe there may not be enzymes out there to modify those drugs and inactivate them,” says Keiler. “Although we won’t know that until we get into the clinic.” Kirimanjeswara says that Franscisella tularensis is difficult to stop because it can survive both outside and inside the cell, as well as in different compartments of host cells. “This strategy allows bacteria to survive and escape from host immune responses, for example, within the host cells, and there are not many antibiotics that can target a bacterium in all these compartments,” says Kirimanjeswara. “In that regard, these compounds were effective outside the cells, in the various stages of endocytic vesicles, and in the cytoplasm, making it a very attractive way to treat bacterial diseases.” The next steps for the research will be to experiment on delivery designs and to test the compounds in animals. The National Institutes of Health supported this work.

Op-Ed: Florida's massive fish kill — It's only going to get worse

By Karen Graham Mar 26, 2016

The pictures are disgusting and downright sickening. Hundreds of thousands of dead fish floating in brown, soupy water in one of the Northern Hemisphere's most biodiverse lagoon ecosystems, the Indian River Lagoon in Florida. Florida's environmental problems really took off in February this year when Governor Rick Scott had to declare a "state of emergency" in communities along the state's east and west coasts because of pollution from the ongoing discharges of Lake Okeechobee water to the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee rivers, reports Earth Justice. U.S. Sugar Corp. and its owner, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, which just happens to be headquartered in Flint, Michigan, is being blamed for the pollution emergency, although nothing to date is being done about the situation. Runoff from the company's sugar cane fields goes into lake Okeechobee, which is bad enough. But add El Nino's heavy rains that brought triple the amount of rainfall to Central Florida in January. CNN reports that all the rainwater eventually made its way into the lake and estuaries, picking up fertilizer and other pollutants along the way. But let's add the warmer than normal winter temperatures to the mix and we have an environmental disaster. An ecological disaster is born By the end of February, Lake Okeechobee's floodgates were open and still discharging polluted waters toward the east and west coasts of Florida and into the Everglades. Soon after, a toxic algae bloom along with a brown tide finished off what remaining oxygen was left in the water, resulting in dead fish, dead sea grass and other sea life, unfit water conditions for swimming and fishing and an all around stinking mess. Amidst all the hue and cry from the public, the governor decided to have the Army Corps of Engineers depart from their usual practices and instead drain lake Okeechobee directly into the Everglades, which was an asinine move on Scott's part. After all, American taxpayers are paying billions to have the Everglades cleaned up, and Scott has effectively done away with that issue. Ed Garland, a spokesman for the St. John River Water Management District, said officials are not certain of the effect the brown tide is having on sea grass. He downplays the damage, though, saying this has happened before. Yes, it did happen before, in 2011, and over half the sea grass died off and there are still vast areas where it hasn't come back yet. Captain Alex Gorichky, is a conservationist who runs a small fishing tour company. Of course, that business has suffered because of the rotting fish, but he says he has seen "every species of fish washed ashore in the Indian River Lagoon, including redfish that have been breeding here for over 35 years." "The stretch is 30 miles long, and we're looking at devastating amounts of fish floating throughout that whole 30-mile stretch," he was quoted as saying according to the Daily mail. Gorichky added: "It's not an isolated incident; we're talking about wide-open expanses of rivers, canals, pockets of water with no tidal flow." Fishing columnist Ed Killer, who writes for Treasure Coast-Palm Coast newspapers, pretty well sums up how this journalist and many others feel about this environmental disaster. He writes: “I'm sick of this," “I'm sick of writing about fish kills." "I'm sick of writing about algae blooms. And discharges. And brown tides, and red tides and toxic bacteria. I'm sick of writing about barren flats because the sea grass no longer grows there."" He goes on to talk about backroom deals being made by politicians and special interest groups, and his disgust with federal and state agencies "issuing permits to violate laws of common sense, and then turning their back on clear violations of environmental laws and policies.” I say, "Amen to that."

Japan opens radar station close to disputed isles, drawing angry China response

By Nobuhiro Kubo and Tim Kelly

YONAGUNI, Japan (Reuters) - Japan on Monday switched on a radar station in the East China Sea, giving it a permanent intelligence gathering post close to Taiwan and a group of islands disputed by Japan and China, drawing an angry response from Beijing. The new Self Defence Force base on the island of Yonaguni is at the western extreme of a string of Japanese islands in the East China Sea, 150 km (90 miles) south of the disputed islands known as the Senkaku islands in Japan and the Diaoyu in China. China has raised concerns with its neighbors and in the West with its assertive claim to most of the South China Sea where the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei have overlapping claims. Japan has long been mired in a territorial dispute with China over the East China Sea islands. "Until yesterday, there was no coastal observation unit west of the main Okinawa island. It was a vacuum we needed to fill," said Daigo Shiomitsu, a Ground Self Defence Force lieutenant colonel who commands the new base on Yonaguni. "It means we can keep watch on territory surrounding Japan and respond to all situations." Shiomitsu on Monday attended a ceremony at the base with 160 military personnel and around 50 dignitaries. Construction of some buildings, which feature white walls and traditional Okinawan red-tiled roofs, is still unfinished. The 30-sq-km (11-sq-mile) island is home to 1,500 people, who mostly raise cattle and grow sugar cane. The Self Defence Force contingent and family members will increase the population by a fifth. "This radar station is going to irritate China," said Nozomu Yoshitomi, a professor at Nihon University and a retired major general in the Self Defence Force. In addition to being a listening post, the facility could be used a base for military operations in the region, he added. China's defense ministry, in a statement sent to Reuters about the radar station, said the international community needed to be on high alert to Japan's military expansion. "The Diaoyu Islands are China's inherent territory. We are resolutely opposed to any provocative behavior by Japan aimed at Chinese territory," it said. "The activities of Chinese ships and aircraft in the relevant waters and airspace are completely appropriate and legal." The listening post fits into a wider military build-up along the island chain, which stretches 1,400 km (870 miles) from the Japanese mainland. Policy makers last year told Reuters it was part of a strategy to keep China at bay in the Western Pacific as Beijing gains control of the South China Sea. Toshi Yoshihara, a U.S. Naval War College professor, said Yonaguni sits next to two potential flashpoints in Asia - Taiwan and the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands. "A network of overlapping radar sites along the island chain would boost Japan's ability to monitor the East China Sea," he added. Yonaguni is only around 100 km (62 miles) east of Taiwan, near the edge of a controversial air defense identification zone set up by China in 2013. Over the next five years, Japan will increase its Self Defence Force in the East China Sea by about a fifth to almost 10,000 personnel, including missile batteries that will help Japan draw a defensive curtain along the island chain. Chinese ships sailing from their eastern seaboard must pass through this barrier to reach the Western Pacific, access to which Beijing needs both as a supply line to the rest of the world's oceans and for naval power projection.

Belgian prosecutor’s office denies terrorist track in murder of guard at nuclear center

Published time: 26 Mar, 2016 07:46 Edited time: 26 Mar, 2016 16:12

The murder of a security guard at a nuclear research center located near the Belgian city of Charleroi two days after Brussels attack is not linked to any terrorist activity, prosecutor says dispelling earlier media reports. The Charleroi prosecutor's office in charge of the case "formally denied" any link between the murder of Didier Prospero, a security guard from the G4S international security firm, who worked at the National Institute of radioelements (IRE ELiT) in the town of Fleurus not far from Charleroi, and any planned terror attack, the Belga news agency reported, citing the Charleroi prosecutor. The prosecutor also denied earlier media reports that Prospero’s access badge was stolen, Belga reports. Prospero was found dead in the bathroom at his home in Froidchapelle by his three children as they returned from school on Thursday. He was shot four times and his dog was also killed. He was in charge of security at the IRE ELiT that specializes in production of radiochemical and radiopharmaceutical products as well as in radioactivity analysis. The case is being handled by criminal investigators while anti-terror specialists are not involved, Belga reports. According to the local Derniere Heure newspaper, the investigation is working on two tracks: a burglary gone wrong and a crime related to the personal affairs of the victim. READ MORE: Brussels airport and Metro bombings aftermath LIVE UPDATES In the meantime, officials from the Belgian Electrabel energy company that runs the neighboring Charleroi nuclear power plant stated that its personnel is not affected by the incident. "No personnel of Electrabel or one of its sub-contractors working on sites was murdered this week," a company official said as quoted by the Derniere Heure. The company representative also stressed that authorization needed to get access to the nuclear site is issued by the National Security Authority and, in case of death, all clearances are immediately removed. Earlier on Thursday, Derniere Heure reported that Prospero was a member of a nuclear power plant staff and that his security pass was stolen. The paper also recently reported that Brussels suicide bombers Khalid and Ibrahim El Bakraoui were planning attacks on Belgian nuclear power stations and that the arrest of Paris attacker Salah Abdeslam had accelerated the plans of the terrorists. The brothers reportedly planted a hidden camera in front of the home of the director of the Belgian nuclear research program. The footage with “dozens of hours” of the movements of Belgium's nuclear boss was seized during an anti-terrorist raid in the apartment of another suspect belonging to the same terror cell, Mohammed Bakkali. Similar information, but without the names of Brussels suicide bombers was published in DH in February. Belgium is on high alert following the deadly Brussels attacks. On Tuesday, Brussels was rocked by twin blasts at the city’s Zaventem Airport and an explosion at the Maalbeek Metro station, just meters away from key EU buildings, less than an hour later. Shortly after the deadly Brussels attacks, personnel from Belgium’s two nuclear power stations in Doel and in Tihange were promptly evacuated. DH also reported that soldiers have been seen at both sites in recent weeks.

A hurricane by any other name: Storm Katie batters Britain with gales of more than 100mph

Monday, 28 March 2016 Earthwindmap

Storm Katie struck last night with hurricane strength winds as Britain was battered once again with gales of more than 100mph. Many flights were cancelled causing chaos for people trying to get away for the Easter break. Winds have caused havoc on nation's roads with whole trees and power lines felled by the awful conditions. The Met Office issued an amber warning for winds for London and south-east England, with a yellow alert for the east and south west, and south Wales. The gale force winds are expected to lessen this afternoon.

23 Percent Of Americans In Their Prime Working Years Are Unemployed

By Michael Snyder, on March 27th, 2016

Did you know that when you take the number of working age Americans that are officially unemployed (8.2 million) and add that number to the number of working age Americans that are considered to be “not in the labor force” (94.3 million), that gives us a grand total of 102.5 million working age Americans that do not have a job right now? I have written about this before, but today I want to focus just on Americans that are in their prime working years. When you look at only Americans that are from age 25 to age 54, 23.2 percent of them are unemployed right now. The following analysis and chart come from the Weekly Standard… Clearly, we have never recovered from the impact of the last recession. But let’s try to put these numbers in context. Below, I would like to share two charts with you. They show what has happened to the inactivity rates for men and for women in their prime working years in the United States in recent years. In order to be considered “inactive”, you can’t have a job and you can’t be looking for a job. So this subset of people is smaller than the group that we were talking about above. The 23.2 percent of Americans in their prime working years that are unemployed right now includes those that are looking for a job and those that are not looking for a job. These next two charts do not include anyone that has a job or that is currently looking for a job. These charts only cover “inactive” people in their prime working years that are not considered to be in the labor force. As you can see in this first chart, the inactivity rate for men in their prime working years exploded higher during the last recession and then continued to go up even after the recession supposedly ended. At this point, it is hovering near all-time record highs. Does this look like an “economic recovery” to you?… For women, we see a similar thing. In this next chart, you can see that the inactivity rate for women in their prime working years rose during the last recession and then just kept on rising. At this point, it remains far higher than it was during the last recession… What are we to make of all this? For both men and women in their prime working years, the inactivity rate is significantly higher than it was during the last recession. All of these people neither have a job nor are they looking for one. So what in the world is going on here? Are they independently wealthy? Have these people found rich spouses to marry so they don’t have to work? No, the truth is that the middle class in America is steadily eroding and poverty is absolutely exploding. Credit card debt has soared to a new record high, and 48 percent of all U.S. adults under the age of 30 believe that “the American Dream is dead”. The issue isn’t that people don’t want to work. The issue is that people cannot find enough work. And even if you have a job, that does not mean that you are on easy street. According to the Social Security Administration, 51 percent of all American workers make less than $30,000 a year. Tens of millions of Americans are now among the ranks of “the working poor”. So many families are watching their expenses soar while their paychecks go down or stagnate. If you are in this situation right now, then you probably know how exceedingly stressful it can be. Just look at what is happening to the cost of health insurance. The following comes from Fox News… Health insurance premiums have increased faster than wages and inflation in recent years, rising an average of 28 percent from 2009 to 2014 despite the enactment of Obamacare, according to a report from Freedom Partners. And I am not exactly sure where they got those numbers. Personally, I know that my health insurance rates have gone up far faster than that. Two years ago, my health insurance company wanted to double the health insurance premiums for my family even though we never get sick. So I switched to another insurance company that offered a policy that was only about 30 percent higher than my last one. But then when it came time to renew, that insurance company wanted to raise my rate by another 50 percent. Thanks to Obamacare, American families are being absolutely crippled by the cost of health care. And of course we are seeing the rising cost of living so many other places as well. Our paychecks are being squeezed harder and harder, and this is absolutely killing the middle class. In fact, the middle class in America is now a minority for the first time ever. And now for the real bad news – this is about as good as things are ever going to get in this country. As you can see from what I have shared above, we never really had any sort of meaningful “economic recovery”, and now we have entered the early phases of the next major downturn. So where do we go from here? Unfortunately, our debt-fueled prosperity has provided us with a massively inflated standard of living that is not even close to sustainable. As this bubble bursts, the economic pain is going to be absolutely unprecedented. But it won’t be just economic pain that we are facing. In my new book, I detail the things that I believe that are coming to this country, and I explain why the entire planet will soon be facing incredibly challenging times. It is going to be one of the most controversial Christian books of 2016, because it directly challenges many of the things that are being taught in mainstream churches today. My book is an ominous message of warning and an inspiring message of hope, and I truly believe that it is the most important thing that I have ever written. No matter how you may see the future, the key is that we all learn to love one another. The years ahead are going to be extremely challenging, and those that want to chase everyone else away and survive as lone wolves are going to have a very rough time. We all need each other, and those that have friends, family and communities around them are going to be in a much better position to weather the coming storms. So let us hope for the best, but let us also prepare for the worst…

The History of What Comes Next

by Hal Lindsey

Everyone wants to know what happens next. That makes predicting the future big business. Huge corporations spend millions on consulting firms to tell them what’s around the corner. Many of these consultants create computer models that take known facts and attempt to extrapolate from them an understanding of the unknown future. But even in our modern era, many approach the future much as their pagan forebears did. Astrologists, spiritualists, psychics, mystics, palm readers, and other occult practitioners rake in huge amounts of money, especially in times of uncertainty. In our everyday lives, we make sense of the future by looking at the past. The sun has been rising for a long time. We assume it will rise again tomorrow. None of us have seen tomorrow yet, so we use our brains the way scientists use their supercomputers. We extrapolate — make educated guesses. But God doesn’t have to guess. For human beings, time passes sequentially. We’re like people along the street watching a parade. A helicopter pilot flying above the parade can see it all at once. On the ground, we see what’s right in front of us. From on high, he sees the whole parade at once, from beginning to end. That’s a small picture of the way God sees time. Isaiah 57:15 calls Him, “the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity.” (NKJV) In other words, He’s already an eyewitness to the future. God can and does reveal certain things about the future to us. Through the prophet Daniel, He correctly laid out a detailed outline of world history from Daniel’s time forward, covering the next 600 years. In our time, we see the nations of the world aligning themselves in ways predicted by Daniel and the other prophets. But to really understand the future, we have to see the context of prophecy. To do that, look at two things — the fundamental nature of God and the series of promises He has made. Assurance of the latter depends on our certainty of the former. A promise is only as good as the one making the promise. Does a lifetime money-back guarantee mean you’re covered until the end of your days? Not necessarily. A company can go belly-up. Bankrupt owners might not have the ability to keep their warranty. Other businesses are scams from the beginning. So, before we look at God’s promises, we have to look at His attributes. Does He have the ability to fulfill His promises? If so, does He have the good character needed to keep His word? Theologians often use the word “omnipotent” to describe God’s ability. “Omni” means all, and “potent” means power. In Genesis 17:1, God said to Abraham, “I am God Almighty.” Almighty is another word meaning all powerful. Revelation 19:6 says, “And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.” Our imaginations fall short when trying to grasp the power and magnificence of a single star — our sun. Yet scientists say a typical galaxy contains a hundred billion stars of which the sun is merely average. Our Milky Way contains up to 400 billion stars. And the universe contains at least a hundred billion galaxies. Think of that, and then think of Genesis 1:1 — “In the beginning God created the Heaven and the earth.” Isaiah 40 says, “‘To whom then will you liken Me, or to whom shall I be equal?’ says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these things, Who brings out their host by number; He calls them all by name, by the greatness of His might and the strength of His power.” (Isaiah 40:25-26 NKJV) Yes. The Almighty Creator of all things has the ability to keep His promises. But what about His character? His capabilities wouldn’t matter if His honesty couldn’t be trusted. Remember the vast universe I just described? In Mark 13:31, Jesus said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.” Numbers 23:19 says, “God is not a man, that He should lie.” Isaiah 40:8 says, “The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.” Titus 1:2 says “God . . . cannot lie.” (NASB) God cannot lie! That’s not a limitation on His omnipotence; it’s an expression of it. 2 Timothy 2:13 says, “He cannot deny Himself.” (NASB) He remains forever true to Who He is, and He is truth. (John 14:6) Because of His power and His character, His promises cannot fail. The moment He makes a promise, it is as good as done. To gain an understanding of the future, then, we need to examine His promises. Some of them were conditional, such as the covenant of the law given through Moses. Other promises were unconditional. He promised to Abraham that He would give the Promised Land to Abraham’s offspring through Isaac and Jacob. God would reiterate this promise many times in many ways. So it must happen. God promised King David, “Your house and your kingdom shall endure before Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.” [2 Samuel 7:10-11,16 NASB] That promise can be fulfilled only in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Paul begins the great letter to the Romans emphasizing that the gospel is for the Jew as well as the gentile, and offers to both on the same terms (Romans 1:16, 17). In Jesus Christ, God has been true to all of his promises to the Jews (Romans 3:4). Summarizing the same point in chapter 15:8,9 he concludes, "For I say that Christ has been made a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given unto the fathers, and that the gentiles might glorify God for his mercy …" Paul distinguishes between the Jew in Romans 15:8,9 and the gentile. What attracts the Jew to Christ is not exactly the same as that which gains the heart of the gentile. Let's examine it. First, Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament in his personal ministry. The Jew is especially struck with the fact that Christ fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies. Two words emphasize this in the text. "That he might confirm the promises given unto the (Jewish) fathers" (Romans 15:8). The word "confirm" means "to establish a promise is to confirm it by fulfilling it." As our Lord himself explained in Luke 24:44, he "fulfilled all things" concerning him written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms. God has already been true to the promises given to the Jews. The blessings are spiritual. The second word of emphasis is "truth." In Jesus' confirmation/fulfillment of OT prophecies, God displayed his truth, or as Paul puts it, "… for the truth of God." That is, his fidelity to the ancient promises. Charles Hodge, in his "Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans, explains this as meaning "To maintain the truth (or fidelity) of God in the accomplishment of the promises made to the fathers. Consider this: One of the most popular false doctrines today encroaching upon churches posits that the Old Testament was not completely fulfilled by Jesus Christ during his personal ministry but will be fulfilled in the future. It holds that somehow the promises to the Jews will come to completion later in some nationalistic manner. This millennial concept destroys souls by causing them to reject the plain fact taught in the New Testament that Jesus fulfilled the promises given unto the Jewish fathers and that by doing this God maintained his fidelity to his own promises. Second, Jesus extended to the gentile his mercy. "That the gentiles might glorify God for his mercy …" Thus, from Jews arise the voice that celebrates God's faithfulness but from the gentiles arises a voice celebrating God's mercy. This is the meaning of this admirable passage which extends to verse 13. Gentile as well as Jew is able to come to Christ on the same terms. Here, in the verses that follow, Paul reminds us that the Old Testament itself contains the evidence that the non-Jew was to be included in the promises given. How does this vitiate against the widespread notion that the non-Jew is on the outside, a second-rate citizen of the kingdom of God, which is supposedly a Jewish organization? What is the conclusion? There are no more promises given to the Jewish fathers awaiting future fulfillment. What we now enjoy in Jesus Christ is all that God ever promised from the Old Testament. Further, the promises of God extend equally to the non-Jew. That which remains is an eternal heavenly abode (1 Thessalonians 4:13-14) vouchsafed to all Christians by the New Testament.

Take the limitation off God

By Edith Nevis Staff Writer Published: Friday, April 29, 2016 at 11:09 a.m.

Last Modified: Friday, April 29, 2016 at 11:09 a.m.

"You're blessed when you're at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule. You're blessed when you feel you've lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you. You're blessed when you're content with just who you are—no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought." Matthew 5:3-5 Today, let's take the limitation off God. We all have been unknowingly guilty of this. When? During those times of uncertainty when the bills are due, the child is misbehaving, the relationship is in trouble and the layoff included you. We begin to view our circumstances larger than our faith and trust in Him. What is this faith and trust? You and I are to have complete confidence in that which we believe. (Hebrew 11:6) And trust in the reliability, truth and strength in God even if we do not see it, period! (Proverbs 30:5) More often than not, our quick (fast moving without prayer or thought) response when faced with a challenge is a direct result to life's immediate circumstances. We tend to go into panic mode, brain storming how to fix the problem. It's important that you understand everything about you God is concerned about and wants to be your way maker (Proverbs 3:5-6). You see, he has no need for plan B, for God is never caught by surprise when things go wrong in our lives. Yet we seek counsel from others (sometimes unwise advice) in hopes they, too, may have the answer. When you and I place our own abilities (or lack thereof) over His faithfulness, there is where our faith lay, and we limit God's blessing over our lives (Matthew 7:7). Remember, God is still in control. Nothing shall be accomplished without his authorization (2 Corinthians 1:20).

Molotov cocktail hurled, 5 officers injured at Seattle May Day march

USA Today Network William Cummings, USA TODAY 10:56 a.m. EDT May 2, 2016

Demonstrators hurled rocks, bottles and at least one Molotov cocktail at police during a May Day march in Seattle that left five officers injured. Police say nine people were arrested, including one juvenile female. Five of them were arrested for obstruction, three for assault, and one for destruction of property. Of the injured officers, one was struck by a rock in the head, one was injured, but not burned, by a Molotov cocktail, and one was bitten. Seattle Police Chief Kathleen O'Toole said the police department "has zero tolerance for any acts of violence towards persons, police and property." O'Toole also said the department would review this year's May Day events to improve its crowd management techniques. “While we hope for peaceful demonstrations, we need to be prepared for the unexpected," said O'Toole. "Officers underwent enhanced crowd management training and developed a comprehensive preparation plan for May Day, and the numerous protests that take place in our city year round." Police used pepper spray on the demonstrators and at one point fired rubber bullets at the crowd. People then threw rocks and bottles at police. A march in support of workers and immigrants' rights earlier in the day was without incident. The march was just one of several events in cities nationwide Sunday to call for better wages for workers and an end to deportations. Around the world, union members have traditionally marched on May 1 for workers' rights. In the United States, the annual events have become a rallying point for immigrants and their supporters since massive demonstrations in 2006 against a proposed immigration enforcement bill. Seattle is often home to large and raucous May Day celebrations. The nine arrests this year were less than in the previous three years. Contributing: KING-TV, Seattle; The Associated Press

Haslam signs bill giving therapists protections

Richard Locker and Holly Meyer, locker@commercialappeal.com  and hmeyer@tennessean.com  7:11 p.m. CDT April 27, 2016

Gov. Bill Haslam on Wednesday signed into law a controversial bill that says no licensed counselor or therapist must serve a client whose "goals, outcomes or behaviors” conflict with the counselor’s “sincerely held principles” — a measure the American Counseling Association had denounced as a “hate bill” against gay and transgender people. Senate Bill 1556 also shields from civil lawsuits, criminal prosecution and sanctions by the state licensing board counselors who refuse to provide services — provided they coordinate a referral of the client to another counselor who would serve them. The bill’s provisions, which go into effect immediately, also will not apply in cases where the person seeking or undergoing counseling is “in imminent danger of harming themselves or others.” The governor said he spoke with counselors on both sides of the issue and carefully examined the bill’s provisions. “Although Senate Bill 1556 has received attention for its perceived focus, my job is to look at the actual substance of the legislation," Haslam said. "After considerable thought and discussion with counselors both for and against the bill, I have decided to sign Senate Bill 1556. “There are two key provisions of this legislation that addressed concerns I had about clients not receiving care. First, the bill clearly states that it ‘shall not apply to a counselor or therapist when an individual seeking or undergoing counseling is in imminent danger of harming themselves or others.’ Secondly, the bill requires that any counselor or therapist who feels they cannot serve a client due to the counselor’s sincerely held principles must coordinate a referral of the client to another counselor or therapist who will provide the counseling or therapy,” he said. “The substance of this bill doesn’t address a group, issue or belief system. Rather, it allows counselors — just as we allow other professionals like doctors and lawyers — to refer a client to another counselor when the goals or behaviors would violate a sincerely held principle. I believe it is reasonable to allow these professionals to determine if and when an individual would be better served by another counselor better suited to meet his or her needs.” The bill was the latest in a series of “religious freedom” measures considered by state lawmakers. The Senate approved the counseling bill 27-5 in February and the House did the same with a 68-22 vote April 6. A week later, the Senate concurred with a House amendment that changed the bill’s original wording from “sincerely held religious belief” to “sincerely held principles” of the counselor. Wednesday was the last day the governor had to sign or veto the bill before it would have become law without his signature. The measure stemmed from a 2014 change in the American Counseling Association’s code of ethics aimed at preventing discrimination against people in need of counseling services. The state licensing board for professional counselors and marital and family therapists incorporates the ACA’s ethics code into its rules and regulations — a violation of which subjects licensees to sanctions. The ACA repeatedly condemned the bill as unnecessary because counselors already have authority to refer clients to others for professional, but not discriminatory, reasons. The national group had called for a veto, arguing that Tennesseans in need of counseling — especially youths in rural areas with limited access to therapists — could be harmed. ACA spokesman Art Terrazas said the group is “extremely disappointed that Gov. Haslam has ignored the lessons learned in North Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi and has elected to sign this dangerous bill into law. Plain and simple, this bill codifies discrimination. “It not only disproportionately affects LGBTQ Tennesseans seeking counseling, but will also have unintended consequences that will reach Tennesseans in all walks of life — whether it’s a veteran suffering from PTSD, a woman suffering from spousal abuse or a business owner simply trying to attract out of state clients,” Terrazas said. Other reaction was swift. David Fowler, president of Family Action Council of Tennessee, who had supported the bill, praised the governor’s decision. “Thankfully, the governor and our legislature, through this legislation, have said that there is still room in Tennessee for counselors who have a belief system that informs everything they do, including the kind of counsel they believe they can in good conscience provide to their clients,” he said. Nashville Mayor Megan Barry, who is a Democrat and opposed the bill, said in a statement Wednesday that she was disappointed in the governor's decision to sign it into law. “It hurts our LGBT citizens, negatively impacts our economy and seeks to undermine the counseling profession. As mayor of Nashville, I'll continue to do whatever I can to create a warm and welcoming city free from discrimination,” Barry said. Hedy Weinberg, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee, had a similar position and said ACLU is "disappointed that the governor has chosen to sign this troubling bill into law. This measure is rooted in the dangerous misconception that religion can be used as a free pass to discriminate. Allowing counselors to treat some potential clients differently from others based on their personal beliefs defies professional standards and could cause significant harm to vulnerable people." State Sen. Jack Johnson, R-Franklin, the bill’s Senate sponsor, commended the governor. “I think it’s a very reasonable commonsense piece of legislation and corrects what I believe was a wrong that was effectuated by the American Counseling Association with the change in their code of ethics in 2014," he said. The House sponsor, Rep. Dan Howell, R-Georgetown, agreed. "The governor felt that it had gotten a lot of undue criticism, which I agree with — mainly because the bill does not deny anyone counseling as the critics have claimed," he said. "In fact the bill states that if there’s any conflict between the client’s goals and the counselor’s deeply held beliefs, that the counselor must facilitate an appropriate referral. So it’s a good balanced bill (that) ... protects the client to ensure that they get assistance and protects the First Amendment rights of faith-based counselors.” The Tennessee Equality Project remains particularly concerned about the ability of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people to access resources for counseling in rural areas, Chris Sanders, executive director of the organization, said in a statement. The organization also announced Wednesday that it is launching an initiative called “Counseling Unconditionally” that allows professionals to sign up and say they will not turn clients away. Psychologist James T. “Dale” Berry, who testified in support of the bill in a legislative committee, felt relieved by the governor’s decision and said it protects counselors from discrimination by the professional organization. Berry is director of Ebenezer Counseling Service, a Knoxville-based provider whose counselors and therapists work from a Christian perspective. “For the clients, it gets them to a therapist that does not have a core value conflict. That way they won’t get mixed messages, they won’t be confused. To not refer is unethical in my view. ACA got it wrong when they cut referrals on the basis of values,” Berry said. Berry, who is a Presbyterian, said he and other therapists at Ebenezer Counseling Services don’t see a conflict when serving gay clients suffering from depression, but providing sex therapy to an unmarried couple or premarital and sex therapy to a same-sex couple would conflict with his core values, which he derives from his religious beliefs. Without the new law, Berry feared politically motivated people would test whether therapists were actually following the new referral restriction in the ACA’s code of ethics. Repeated offenses could put licenses in jeopardy and prompt legal action. Richard Locker of The Commercial Appeal in Memphis and Knoxville News Sentinel contributed to this report.

Puerto Ricans leaving island for U.S. in record numbers

By Jeffrey Acevedo, CNN Updated 3:16 AM ET, Mon May 2, 2016

(CNN) Puerto Ricans are leaving the island for the mainland United States at a historic rate.

The commonwealth's Institute of Statistics revealed Sunday the results of its analysis on 2014 migration, which found that Puerto Rico lost almost 2% of its population that year. About 84,000 people moved from Puerto Rico to the United States in 2014, according to the report, while only 20,000 moved back to the island, resulting in a net migration of 1.8%. On average, 230 people left per day -- enough to fill two daily flights out of the island. The result is the highest net migration recorded in the past decade, the Institute said. It's the economy "The economic factor is the main factor pushing people towards leaving Puerto Rico," demographer Raul Figueroa, who works as an independent consultant, told CNN. Unemployment, the lack of opportunities, especially for the youth, and quality of life are major factors, he said. Puerto Rico, now 10 years into a recession, is deep in debt and often compared to Greece and Detroit. More Puerto Ricans now live in the mainland United States than on the island itself, which eases the transition of Puerto Ricans who move. In the 1950s, most Puerto Ricans moved to New York, Figueroa said, but "Florida has been the main destination in the last 10 years." Mario Marazzi-Santiago, the Institute's executive director, said negative migration has been a reality for a while. "(This report) confirms what we had already been observing and anticipating in the past few months," he said in a statement. The Institute's report gathers data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Under its status as a commonwealth, Puerto Rico is subject to U.S. federal laws, though island residents are exempt from some federal taxes. Puerto Rico has a nonvoting representative in Congress. 'The longer I'm here, the harder it is to leave' Cassandra Jimenez, 24, left Puerto Rico in 2014 and moved to Marietta, Georgia, to pursue a chiropractic degree. "In Puerto Rico, no university offers this program. I had to come to the States to be able to pursue this career," she told CNN. With two more years to go, she said she doesn't see herself necessarily moving back to the island. "I'm not 100% sure yet, but I find the quality of life here better, so I'm more likely to stay than go back," she said. Her boyfriend, also Puerto Rican, moved to Georgia straight out of college in 2013 for a job as an electrical engineer. "Even before graduating, I already had a job here," said Luis Miguel Soto, 26. Soto recalled that many of his classmates at the University of Puerto Rico in Mayaguez spent a lot of time looking for jobs as engineers. "When construction stops, engineering jobs stop," he said. Will he move back to Puerto Rico? "The longer I'm here, the harder it is to leave," he said, making reference to growing wages. "And the more I'd have to leave behind." Half million people left in 1950s For the past six decades, Puerto Rico has looked at the 1950s as a point of reference for mass exodus. Back then, close to half a million inhabitants left for the mainland. But most recent data suggests that Puerto Rico may be experiencing an even greater wave of migration, the Institute of Statistics said. Between 2010 and 2014 more people moved from the island to the United States than in the first half of the 1950s, when the net migration was estimated at 237,000, according to the organization. In the first half of the current decade, 263,000 people flew to the United States and didn't return. These numbers, said Marazzi-Santiago, point to what may be known by the end of the decade as "the greatest exodus in Puerto Rico's history." Settling in San Antonio Silvia Nunez moved from Puerto Rico to New York in 2015 because of lack of jobs. The cost of living took her by surprise. "I had a plan, but it didn't work out," she said. After trying New Jersey, she ended up moving to San Antonio, Texas, where she finds life less expensive than in Puerto Rico. "The wages are higher. Most of the time, you start working at a rate of $9.25 an hour," Nunez said. She also feels safer, and is paying less than half what she used to pay for utilities in Puerto Rico. Nunez described San Antonio as a great city for those who are not fluent in English. "You'll need to speak English if you want to find a better job, but you can still get one without speaking the language." The only downside to her experience, she said, is that health care is more expensive. Teachers add to 'brain drain' While students make up two-thirds of Puerto Rico's total population decline, between 1,000 and 4,000 teachers also left in 2014 A similar number of retailers moved to the States the same year, the Institute of Statistics said. More people with a degree greater than a high school diploma flew out of Puerto Rico in 2014. Those who moved back couldn't make up the difference, so 17,000 "brains" were lost. And for the fourth year in a row, there was an increase in the number of professionals who left the island -- about 12,000 people including managers, salespeople, health care workers and educators, the Institute said. "In the following years, when the history about the current migratory wave is written, it will be described as the Second Great Migration, or the Second Great Exodus of Puerto Rico," Marazzi-Santiago said. The Institute of Statistics' full report is available here.

GOP’s fear of Trump exposes the party’s abject corruption

Posted on May 2, 2016 by Dr. Eowyn

by Fred Reed of Fred On Everything • April 28, 2016

I love it: Donald Trump’s campaign reveals the establishment for what it is, a swamp of corruption as fetid as those of Latin America. It is better entertainment than Vaudeville. The frantic scramble to rig the primaries, change the rules, and thwart the voters–anything to defend their cozy entanglement of political tapeworms–makes absurd any pretense of democracy. This morning in the Drudge Report: “Trump Highest Number of Republican Voters in History“. Whom do the Republicans want to get rid of? Trump. On the same page a poll reports Trump tied with Hillary nationally. Whom do the Republicans want to get rid of? Guess. It’s wonderful. The GOP is looking for someone that Hillary can beat. She would squash Kasich or Cruz like stepping on bugs. Trump might actually win. This the Republicans strive to avoid. What could make more sense? But it does make sense. The Republicans try desperately to ditch the only Republican candidate who could win the Presidency because…Hillary is one of them. Because, as every sentient being has by now noticed, the Republicans and Democrats are members of the same corrupt club of blood-sucking parasites, the action arm of the corporations, Wall Street, the Israeli lobby, and those who want the US to control the world at any cost–except, of course, to them. They are panicked at the rise of someone who might put first the interests of America. Better Hillary, a fellow parasite, than Trump, who isn’t. The latest skulduggery is the Virginia governor’s allowing convicted felons to vote. The obvious intention is to increase the black vote for Hillary. In Chicago, the dead vote. In Virginia, the killers. This sort of thing of course explains the support for Trump. (See “20,000 convicted violent felons can now vote in Virginia, to benefit Hillary”) Will the two parties succeed in blocking the Donald? Might they even resort to the Martin Luther King solution? My powers of political prognostication would be under zero if they could figure out how to get there. If the felony vote and delegate-tampering bring Trump to the convention with only 1236 delegates, and the Republicans broker-in some sad-sack compliant loser, well, the mask will be definitively, openly, for all time off. Welcome to Paraguay. Which would be only another step in the country’s race toward the Third World. What would the public do if Trump were robbed of the nomination? What could the public do? There might be protests, mass demonstrations in the streets, but so what? The Insiders’ Club would just wait them out. Once a society realizes that it has no power over its rulers, it lapses into resignation. Republicans do not loot malls or burn cities, and would soon go home. But all the world would see that the Americans have no recourse, that the Insiders do as they please. Welcome to China. But the mask would be forever off. Very, very off. If the Republicans deep-six Trump, and Hillary runs against Kasich, or Cruz, or some other derelict, what then? Our choices will be not to vote, which will make no difference, to vote for either of the party candidates, which will make no difference, or to vote for Trump if he runs as a third party, which will make no difference. But at least we will have seen under the log, the squishy pale creatures scurrying. They will keep their grip on the country, but the world will know them for what they are. And America for what it is: Corrupt to the roots of its teeth. The corruption is adroitly hidden, yes, or disguised as something else. Yet it is there. Consider the subprime disaster. To believe that it was an accident, or a cyclical downturn, or other artifact of econobabble, one has to believe that bankers, realtors, and Wall Street do not understand mortgages, credit, or defaults. You have to believe that officials of the Treasury, who slide back and forth between Wall Street and government like the motion of the tides, had no idea what was going on. At the top, America is as corrupt as Mexico but American corruption is far more efficient. Among the white middle class, the rot is less. But within the clubhouse of insiders, at the level of the anointed, of the Adelsons and Epsteins and Clintons and Bushes, there is putrefaction most foul. It is cleverly done, and seldom involves anything so sordid as open bribery. Yet the results are everywhere. Men who knew exactly what they were doing engineered the student-loan bubble. Yet it is legal, like so many scams. Huge military contracts for things not needed, the near-control of Mid-Eastern policy by Israel, poor medical care at high prices, the deliberate gutting of American industry so that corporations can enrich themselves in China–all of this is legal. You pay Congress and it makes legal anything you want. Credit cards, which intentionally lure people into going deeply in debt and paying usurious interest rates, are legal. Big Pharma paid Congress to rule that Medicare cannot negotiate the price of drugs, opening a sluice to the Treasury. Corruption, but legal. Under the rule of the Insiders Club, medical care is a fecund source of legal graft. Example: I once needed eye drops from Bausch and Lomb called Muro, which amounted to hypertonic salt water. A bottle of 1.8 (I think it was) ounces cost $23 in Washington, $19 in Winchester, Virginia. Exactly the same product in Mexico, $6. Price-fixing, but where and by whom? What Congressmen were paid to make it legal, or not look into it too closely, or at all? Welcome to Guatemala. Corruption has come to be the purpose of government, and the Club battens on it. You want to see the political equivalent of a public latrine in Uganda? Try HUD, the Department of Housing and Urban Development. I promise that you will be horrified by the diversion of funds and lining of pockets. You ask, Fred, why do you say this? Are you a student of HUD? No. I know nothing of HUD. I know much of government. HUD is an outfit with over thirty billion a year to spend, completely unwatched. Have you ever seen a newspaper story about HUD? I guarantee that it is dominated by the sacred ethnic groups who milk it like a prize Guernsey, and by big companies getting sweetheart contracts. Or try Commerce, or Education, or the Bureau of Indian Affairs, or Congress. It is to preserve these overflowing rice bowls that we have elections without substance between candidates without a difference. Hillary is just Jeb Bush in a dress, Biden a universally applicable cipher, Cruz a compliant applicant for membership in the club. Since the parties collude in avoiding issues that people care about, the contest becomes a popularity contest of the sort found in middle school. Whoever wins, the Insiders win. Of course Trump also is a billionaire, but he is a turncoat, a class traitor, the Benedict Arnold of billionaires. He addresses the issues that the Insiders want to remain unaddressed. He is indeed dangerous. He threatens the endless (immensely profitable) wars, the endless (immensely profitable) shipping of American jobs to China, the endless (immensely profitable) importation of cheap Mexican labor. He threatens the sacred rice bowls.

Soon it will dawn on people just how much we have lost. During his campaign in 2008, Barack Hussein Obama made a startling statement. that we needed a private, civilian army that was just as well funded as the regular Army. Here is the clip of him saying that – So, the campaign went on with the liberal media not picking up on that story at all, Soon, it died and people either forgot about it or dismissed it as campaign bluster. What a difference 14 months can make. “We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” ~ Barack Hussein Obama, 2008 campaign “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” II Corinthians 13-15 Obama’s vision becomes the law of the land On March 23rd, 2010, the 77th anniversary of Adolf Hitler’s Enabling Act bill, Obama signed into law H.R. 3590 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obama Care. It’s a big bill to say the least. The copy that I read at frwebgate.access.gpo.gov is filled with legal mambo-jumbo right up until you get to section 5210. In that section there is hidden a little gem called “ESTABLISHING A READY RESERVE CORPS”. Obama’s private army, a reality. And your tax dollars will pay for it. »Link to the official government site for the bill: www.govtrack.us  Here is how Section 5210 from the Obama Care bill starts: H. R. 3590-496 (Page 496) SEC. 5210. ESTABLISHING A READY RESERVE CORPS. Section 203 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 204) is amended to read as follows: “SEC. 203. COMMISSIONED CORPS AND READY RESERVE CORPS. “(a) ESTABLISHMENT.- “(1) IN GENERAL.-There shall be in the Service a commissioned Regular Corps and a Ready Reserve Corps for service in time of national emergency. “(2) REQUIREMENT.-All commissioned officers shall be citizens of the United States and shall be appointed without regard to the civil-service laws and compensated without regard to the Classification Act of 1923, as amended. “(3) APPOINTMENT.-Commissioned officers of the Ready Reserve Corps shall be appointed by the President and commissioned officers of the Regular Corps shall be appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. “(4) ACTIVE DUTY.-Commissioned officers of the Ready Reserve Corps shall at all times be subject to call to active duty by the Surgeon General, including active duty for the purpose of training. Now, I ask you…currently we have the regular Army, the Marines, The Navy, the Air Force, the National Guard, state and local police, state troopers, first responders, firefighters, EMT, rescue workers of all kinds and in all locations, plus we have the Federal Emergency Management Agency, otherwise known as FEMA. So what exactly does Mr. Obama need a private “ready reserve corps” who are hand-picked by him and report directly to him for? Let’s go on with Section 5210 – “(c) PURPOSE AND USE OF READY RESEARCH.- “(1) PURPOSE.-The purpose of the Ready Reserve Corps is to fulfill the need to have additional Commissioned Corps personnel available on short notice (similar to the uniformed service’s reserve program) to assist regular Commissioned Corps personnel to meet both routine public health and emergency response missions. “(2) USES.-The Ready Reserve Corps shall- “(A) participate in routine training to meet the general and specific needs of the Commissioned Corps; “(B) be available and ready for involuntary calls to active duty during national emergencies and public health crises, similar to the uniformed service reserve personnel; “(C) be available for backfilling critical positions left vacant during deployment of active duty Commissioned Corps members, as well as for deployment to respond to public health emergencies, both foreign and domestic; and “(D) be available for service assignment in isolated, hardship, and medically undeserved communities (as defined in section 799B) to improve access to health services. Living without power, cars, electronics or running water may seem like a nightmare scenario but to pioneers it was just the way life was. Having the skills to survive without modern conveniences is not only smart in case SHTF, it’s also great for the environment. Keep in mind that the key to a successful homestead does not only lie on being able to grow your own food but on other skills as well. Learning these skills will take time, patience and perseverance, and not all of these skills are applicable to certain situations. Hopefully, though, you managed to pick up some great ideas that will inspire you and get you started! Just like our forefathers used to do, The Lost Ways Book teaches you how you can survive in the worst-case scenario with the minimum resources available. It comes as a step-by-step guide accompanied by pictures and teaches you how to use basic ingredients to make super-food for your loved ones.

BREAKING: Defense Secretary Slips Up, Reveals Obama Admin LED IRAN Straight to Our Sailors

It doesn’t matter if “the 3 a.m. phone call” comes in the middle of the day. Not only will the Obama administration not answer it, but they’ll aid our enemies instead. First came the fact that President Barack Obama refused to address the arrest of 10 of our sailors by the Iranian military after their boats had mechanical trouble at sea. Then came news that the Obama administration had offered the Iranians an apology for the release of the sailors. Now comes the disturbing revelation, apparently delivered by Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, that the Obama administration tipped off the Iranians that our soldiers were lost at sea and requested their aid. The news came from Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, during an interview on The Blaze’s Dana Loesch shortly after Iran’s arrest of the sailors had come to light. “I understand that (Secretary of State) John Kerry has indicated, look, when he got word, he and Ash Carter called the Iranians to help take care of our Navy guys, because they had some mechanical problems,” Gohmert said. I’ll give you a second to pick your jaw off the floor. “When our Navy ships have problems, we don’t call Iran. We call the rest of the Navy. We can call the Air Force, the Army, the Marines, Coast Guard. We don’t call Iran,” Gohmert said. He also took a swipe at Kerry’s closeness with Iranian officials, noting how the former Democrat presidential nominee had the son of Iran’s foreign minister as the best man at his daughter’s wedding. “But I guess, you know, if you have relatives that have weddings that involve the people that are in charge in Iran, well, maybe you feel that comfortable,” Gohmert said. “But you know, Dana, there are secrets on every military ship we have … that has no business being in the hands of the Iranians.” But, hey — the Obama administration has given the Iranians everything else via the Iran deal, why not give them Navy secrets, as well? This shows just how derelict the Obama administration was in its duty. Not only did they apologize to the Iranians, they actively delivered our sailors into the clutches of their military. This rot starts at the top — and if Barack Obama can apologize to Iran, he can also apologize to the American people.

One Year of Silence on Hillary Clinton Uranium Deal

by Peter Schweizer1 May 2016813

For more than a year, the mainstream media has failed to ask Hillary Clinton some very basic questions about a series of extremely troubling deals. Why? Last Spring, my book Clinton Cash was released and it initially set off a media maelstrom. It began on April 19, 2015, with a leaked copy of the book going to the New York Times. The copy was not sent by me or my publisher. If the Clintons leaked the book with the hope of having it prematurely dismissed, that proved to be a mistake. The paper called the book “the most anticipated and feared book” of the political season. The Times went on to note that the book was hardly a hysterical attack on the Clintons, but rather, “mainly in the voice of a neutral journalist” who “meticulously documents his sources, including tax records and government documents.” Things got worse for the Clintons a few days later when two New York Times Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporters, Jo Becker and Mike McIntire, took two of the most explosive chapters in the book and did their own digging. What they found confirmed what I had reported. They ran a 3,000-word, front-page article in the paper confirming that: –Bill and Hillary Clinton had helped a Canadian financier named Frank Giustra and a small Canadian company obtain a lucrative uranium mining concession from the dictator in Kazakhstan; –The same Canadian company, renamed Uranium One, bought uranium concessions in the United States; –The Russian government came calling and sought to buy that Canadian company for a price that would mean big profits for the Canadian investors; –For the Russians to buy that Canadian company, it would require the approval of the Obama administration, including Hillary’s State Department, because uranium is a strategically important commodity; –Nine shareholders in Uranium One just happened to provide more than $145 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation in the run-up to State Department approval; –Some of the donations, including those from the Chairman of Uranium One, Ian Teler, were kept secret, even though the Clintons promised to disclose all donations; –Hillary’s State Department approved the deal; –The Russian government now owns 20 percent of U.S. uranium assets. In short, here was what you might call a radioactive scandal. It included secret donations, the Russian government, foreign financiers, more than $145 million, and Bill and Hillary Clinton. And this was just two chapters of the book. And yet, one year later, Hillary Clinton has never once been asked about this controversial uranium deal by the national media. It never came up during the many Democratic Party presidential debates; never during any of her media appearances on cable news or network television; never by print journalists who are covering her campaign. The single time she was asked about the uranium deal was by a local reporter in New Hampshire. In June 2015, she sat down with Josh McElveen of local television WMUR. Kudos to McElveen, who raised the uranium deal during the interview. Hillary’s response was evasive. She tried to obscure the facts. She argued that as Secretary of State she was unaware of the deal. She also claimed that the flow of money and the transfer of the uranium were not connected because the timing “doesn’t work.” She claimed that the money flowed from the Canadians to the Clinton Foundation before she was Secretary of State. This is flat out untrue. As I reported, and the New York Times confirmed, the chairman of Uranium One, Ian Telfer, was making donations to the Clinton Foundation at the time that the State Department was reviewing the sale to Russia. Those donations were kept secret by the Clinton Foundation. Remember: the Clintons had promised President Obama and the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee that they would disclose all donations. It is remarkable that in the year following the release of Clinton Cash and a 3,000-word article on the front page of the New York Times confirming these facts, that no one in the media (save Mr. McElveen) has been interested in asking Hillary Clinton about this troubling uranium deal.

America's Big Red Forex Button - MOST IMPORTANT FOREX FACT

Submitted by globalintelhub on 05/01/2016 15:01 -0400

We have written extensively on the topic of Forex and even published an in-depth book about key points "Splitting Pennies - Understanding Forex" - and in the process we've learned what investors don't know about Forex and how it fuels market fears. So now we'd like to elaborate on the MOST IMPORTANT FACT INVESTORS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FOREX, and to a lesser extent the markets in general. America has in its possession A BIG RED FOREX BUTTON that can shut down US Dollar connected payment systems with one press. This button can halt stock markets, futures exchanges, money markets, all with one simple push. Probably, it looks something like this: STOP This button will probably never be used, it was developed in case of financial emergency. But it's there - and the fact that it exists, makes a few bank managers and government workers sleep well at night. Such systems are developed 'just in case' - just like the missile defense system, a complete waste of taxpayer dollars, built to ensure that if nuclear missiles are launched on America, America can save 10% of cities and wipe out the majority of the attacker based on the neo-con 'mutually assured destruction' MAD policy. This button serves the same purpose, although financial. Pressing this button would bring all economic activity in economies that utilize the US Dollar to a complete standstill. Lazy government workers To understand why and how this button was built, we must first understand a little about how the US Government works. The US Government is the largest employer of any kind in the world. We need to understand the differences between private employment, and government employment (because this big red button was built by government workers in collaboration with private workers). Private employment operates on a simple market based approach - good workers are rewarded usually with higher pay, more job security, and more benefits. If a worker for a private company makes his company a fortune, he'll be rewarded with a big bonus, big desk with accompanying window, and an office plant, maybe a fern. If the worker in a private company is a bad worker, lazy, incompetent, or just difficult - he will be fired. Government is the opposite. There's a mantra in government work - what do you do with a problem employee? Promote them! Because then they are out of your hair, and if you fire them, well you may end up in front of a senate hearing explaining why, or you may end up being sued, or you may end up with a number of special interest groups heckling you about the rights of people with Narcolepsy. The government approaches work in an entirely different way than in private enterprise. Healthcare.gov - the world's first billion dollar website, is another great example. Now imagine the task the Department of Defense is given; protect America from external threats. Their first step, to identify threats. In the military, this is done by agencies such as the CIA and the NRO. Actually if the CIA operated according to its public mission, it would be an analyst agency not much different than those seen on Wall St. - providing information to their DOD bosses who act on it. Since 911, the potential for financial terrorism has been considered a national security issue. It's in the laws, it's in the regulations, it's serious. What if the Saudis flood the market with US Dollars? What if the Chinese dump treasuries crashing the US Dollar? What if hackers take control of the NYSE and flood the market with sell orders, causing a crash? These are all extremely improbably events, so rare there is a higher chance of a giant meteor striking Manhatten this year. The probability is so low it's difficult to calculate. But just like the false threat of Russian's launching nukes, billions of dollars have been spent building a Big Red Button to press in case it happens. It's because government workers have one thing in mind; protect themselves. Avoid a potential disaster. The last thing any government worker wants is to be in charge of security on a day like 911, even if the threat is financial. Although the debate rages about TARP and government actions during the weekend of the Bear Stearns collapse - the financial system was saved. They pressed the button. But this wasn't the Forex button. Although the Federal Reserve is a private bank, the US Dollar exists because of the US Government. Like with many government projects, they outsource. More than 60% of CIA operations are currently outsourced. It's good business - America has always been like that. The only role the US Government plays in the US Dollar, is providing regulations & oversight with the OCC (Office of the Comptroller of the Currency), and printing physical currency with the US Mint. But the US Mint is just a printing service, if you look on US bills you'll see "Federal Reserve Note." The Big Red Forex Button We've known for a long time about the infamous "Plunge Protection Team" designed to prop stock markets in the event of a 1987 style crash. They even have entities in the Caymans funded by the Fed ready and waiting - they'll start with buying futures on the S&P, then options, then if that fails, they'll just go into the market directly. Anyway, technically speaking, DTCC owns 99% of US securities being the only custodian for investors. Why should it be surprising that the Fed operates a Cayman based hedge fund specifically designed to prop the markets in the event of a crash? And you know it's really ironic, it's PEAK HYPOCRISY - on the one hand, these right wing flag waving jingoists love the idea that we have a system in place to prevent a market crash by 100%, but on the other hand, they love to talk about how America has 'freedom' and 'free markets' and markets are not manipulated! Well we can't have our protection and free markets together. But probably, stock investors would agree, in the event of a big market crash it's probably best to have such systems in place, like we do for the military, and other critical infrastructure. Does the PPT intervene in the markets on a daily, or regular basis? That's another question, probably, they do.. but we can say for sure they are there to soften the blow of a deep fall. Maybe they've done it more than once in the last 10 years, which is why the market is continually at nose bleed levels even though the real economy is in the toilet. The Big Red Forex Button is more simple than the PPT, and similar organizations. That's because ALL US DOLLARS IN THE WORLD are created and processed by the Federal Reserve Bank! Except if you withdraw and deal with physical cash, the Fed has electronic tags and knows where each US Dollar in the world is. That's just how the system is setup, by design, by coincidence, it's just like that. The reason for the war on cash, it's really the only part of the US Dollar system that isn't 100% completely controlled and manipulated. But at the end of the day, with less than $1 Trillion in physical US Dollars in the world, it's not really significant. The Fed processes wire payments, ACH payments, clears checks, and provides US Dollars to central banks in the form of swaps. The Fed can press the Big Red Forex Button and halt all US Dollar transactions - period. So with a halt on all US Dollar transactions, how would China destroy the value of the US Dollar, as some have proposed? How would US Dollar debt holders repay their debt, without access to US Dollars? Everyone would default? The financial system would implode? No, they would just wait, for a Fed action. The Fed controls 100% of US Dollar transactions, globally. There's no where on this small planet Earth to 'hide' US Dollars. The US Treasury has a similar tool, the US Treasury has a big red tbill button. They can immediately recall or issue trillions of US debt in one click. As far as the external threat supposedly posed by foreign holders of US debt, if this really was a threat, the treasury can call their friends at the Fed, and in one click - the Fed can pay off all US debt. The Fed would be happy to do so, thus gaining free interest from US taxpayers (which is a HUGE percent of the Federal Budget) and it wouldn't cost the Fed anything to create the $100 Trillion or whatever necessary to do it. Practically, there is no competition for America, and there will not likely be any in the forseeable future. Just imagine if 10% of US Dollar assets were sold, and transferred to another currency, or another system. What would that currency be? It is a real problem. In order to entertain real scenarios of a 'US Dollar Collapse' we would need to see an alternative system, one which operates globally and completely without the US Dollar and it's institutions, such as the BIS, IMF, the Fed, ECB, SWIFT, such as Bitcoin. But just to keep the size of the US Dollar in perspective, let's look at a real alternative - the New Zealand Dollar. Anyone with a Forex account can trade NZD/USD (when you trade a Forex pair, you're really betting on a rate change, not sending money to New Zealand, so trading Forex is a derivative). The GDP of New Zealand is about $185 Billion. There simply aren't enough investment options in New Zealand NZD based assets to facilitate any significant move into NZD from USD. In fact, NZD has been inflated by US and Chinese interests in the last 10 years, to the point that their GDP has nearly quadrupled since 2000. Also remember that most currencies are backed by the US Dollar, so the only 'real' alternative to the US Dollar is not other currencies, but alternative systems such as Bitcoin. One last correction about China - recently China has implemented a Gold fix denominated in Yuan. Also Hungary has issued $154 Million in Yuan bonds. These are both wonderful baby steps toward realizing the final goal of being a modern, dynamic, free market based economy. The Yuan IS NOT BACKED BY GOLD. China implemented a YUAN BASED GOLD MARKET, copied and pasted from the Rothschild-London dominated system for the last hundreds of years. The Gold price is set in Yuan, as it used to be in Great British Pounds. Separately, China is hoarding physical gold. These 3 facts do not mean that the Yuan is backed by Gold. Capital Controls are in place, the Yuan is manipulated by the central bank. It's not possible to do business with China via the Yuan like it is with G8 countries. Americans can visit and do business in hundreds of countries with ease, China is not one of them. China employs internet police, who will literally arrest you potentially for life if you are found violating their firewall policies. This is not a country which will soon compete with America, England, Switzerland, and the rest of the G8. India, possibly another story, but they have no plans to improve their Forex system or to be a global reserve currency. Conclusion The Federal Reserve controls all US Dollars created and transacted in the world, in collaboration with the US Government. The value of the US Dollar will fluctuate as interest rates change, and real money flows around the world affect supply and demand of the USD, but within a trading range. Forex markets are 100% controlled. At any point, Central Banks can intervene in Forex markets. We've never seen a collaborated intervention, but that's a possibility too. Because they all rely on each other, it's in their interest to see boring, non-volatile markets. They are all part of the same system, which is supported by America and the US Dollar. If the Fiat central bank system would be to collapse, there would have to be an alternative system for the world's business to transition to. Currently, there is no alternative system in place. Many alternative systems are in the works, but they are decades from being complete. But in the meantime, there's a number of ways to profit in the Forex market, or protect yourself from market risks. To learn more, checkout Splitting Pennies - Understanding Forex.

THE NEW WORLD ORDER HAS CREATED ITS FIRST CAPITAL CITY HEADQUARTERS IN ASTANA KAZAKHSTAN

Posted by Self Sustained

“And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.” Daniel 11:45 (KJV) Today we want to tell you about a place so fantastical, and so much in line with the Illuminati and the New World Order that you will accuse us of making it up. But let me assure that everything you are about to see is 100% real and exists at this very moment in time. It is the perfect city of the end times, and it’s location is in Astana, Kazakhstan. That’s right, in Kazakhstan. The Pyramid of Peace expresses the spirit of Kazakhstan, says the official PR release, ‘where cultures, traditions and representatives of various nationalities coexist in peace, harmony and accord.’ Bathed in the golden and pale blue glow of the glass, 200 delegates from the world’s main religions and faiths will meet every three years in a circular chamber — based on the United Nations Security Council meeting room in New York. The Palace of Peace and Reconciliation was conceived as a permanent venue for the Congress and a global centre for religious understanding, the renunciation of violence and the promotion of faith and human equality. ASTANA, THE CAPITAL OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER On June 10, 2015, the United Nations Secretary General Ban-Ki Moon addressed the Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions at the Palace of Peace and Reconciliation in Astana. It was a meeting to promote global cooperation between the world’s political and religious leaders. Pope Francis has been invited to attend the next Congress in 2017. It was assured that the Vatican would be amply represented at a planned congress in Astana of religious leaders. Such congresses have become unique and influential floors for dialogue between religions and civilizations, the Kazakh ministry said. Word of the day: Prepare! And do it the old fashion way, like our fore-fathers did it and succeed long before us, because what lies ahead of us will require all the help we can get. Watch this video and learn the 3 skills that ensured our ancestors survival in hard times of famine and war. I know what you’re thinking right now, it’s the same thing I thought when it was first presented to me. How could I have not known about this place? The pictures you see here are not architectural renderings, these are photos of the actual buildings, completely finished and fully in operation. At the very top of the pyramid is housed the strangely occultic meeting room where worldwide political and religious leaders meet to plan global directives for the coming year. Doves have been etched onto the glass to make it appear as if they are hovering outside the windows. ‘Suddenly, out of nowhere, Astana comes glistening into view, all shiny metal and glass, implausibly rising up from the Kazakh steppe like some post-modern lego set that has stumbled into the opening sequence of Dallas. Welcome to Astana, one of the strangest capital cities on earth.’ That’s what euro news outlet the Guardian had to say about Astana. In Astana, we have a ‘city of the future’ filled with Illuminati, Masonic and occult symbols, whose purpose it’s leaders say is to ‘foster global peace and harmony between the world’s religions’. It is the perfect place from which the Antichrist could begin to rule the world. Indeed, the spirit of Antichrist is already well established there. As wild as the city is right now, many more projects have been planned and are underway. If Central Casting in Hollywood was going to create a city to represent the New World Order, this would be it, hands down. Astana is officially on the NTEB end times radar, and we will keep you apprised of developments as they happen. In the meantime, keep looking up!

NATO Deploys 4000 Troops To Russian Border As EUCOM Chief Urges "Return To War-Planning"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/01/2016 18:40 -0400

With anti-establishmentarians on the rise in the US & Europe, it appears the neocons and their NATO proxy aren't wasting any time and are stepping up not just the words, but their deeds, against a so-called "resurgent Russia." NATO's European Command (EUCOM) "needs to change," blasts General Philip Breedlove, urging the military to get back to the business of war planning, a skill lost during the post-Cold War era saying his objective is to send a signal of deterrence to Russia. That signal was heard loud and clear as NATO is deploying an additional four battalions of 4,000 troops to the Russian border in Poland and the three Baltic States, according to a report citing US Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Work. "We have to be ready for a situation where we don't have Russia as a partner," warns EUCOM Gen. Philip Breedlove, adding that the military here needs to get back to the business of war planning, a skill lost during the post-Cold War era and one needed again in the face of a resurgent Russia. As Military.com reports, On Tuesday, Breedlove will walk a final time across the parade ground at EUCOM headquarters, handing off leadership of more than 60,000 troops to Gen. Curtis M. Scaparrotti. Unlike when Breedlove assumed command in 2013, Scaparrotti arrives at a time of upheaval as the continent contends with Cold War-like tensions with Russia, a refugee crisis tearing at Europe's social fabric, and increased fears about terrorism because of war along NATO's southern flank. Scaparrotti will lead a EUCOM headquarters that over the years has shrunk in size -- it is the second-smallest of all combatant commands -- even as the Pentagon attempts to boost its presence along NATO's eastern edge. Breedlove said more work needs to be done to lift EUCOM out of its post-Cold War mindset, which resulted in "building partner capacity," military parlance for training missions. EUCOM is a "mere fraction" of what it was a generation ago, a downsizing that occurred when the U.S. was trying to make a partner out of Russia. "I am very sure about how EUCOM needs to change," Breedlove said during a recent exit interview with Stars and Stripes. "This headquarters shrank and changed from a war-fighting headquarters to a building-partnership-capacity, engagement kind of headquarters." "This headquarters needs to be a warfighting headquarters," he said. Reorienting EUCOM into a warfighting headquarters likely would demand more resources, more troops and new contingency plans to conduct combat operations within Europe. In the past three years, EUCOM has responded to new security concerns by boosting its presence in eastern Europe, mainly through rotational troops and pre-positioned tanks and other armor. A $3.4 billion Pentagon proposal, prompted by what the West sees as a more aggressive and unpredictable Russia, seeks to build upon recent efforts in the year ahead. Dealing with Russia's formidable capabilities around the Baltics, where NATO is outmanned and outgunned, is one obstacle allies will need to prepare for better, according to Breedlove. Some critics, particularly in Berlin, have said Breedlove's rhetoric sometimes has been too hawkish. The general rejects such criticism, saying his objective is to send a signal of deterrence to Russia; and as RT reports, NATO's deployment of an additional 4,000 troops to the Russian border signals their intent loud and clear... Work confirmed the number of troops to be sent to the border with Russia, The Wall Street Journal reports. He said the reason for the deployment is Russia’s multiple snap military exercises near the Baltics States. “The Russians have been doing a lot of snap exercises right up against the borders, with a lot of troops,” Work said as cited by the Wall Street Journal. “From our perspective, we could argue this is extraordinarily provocative behavior.” Moscow has been unhappy with the NATO military buildup at Russia’s borders for some time now; and with this latest move, The Russians, as expected, are displeased... “NATO military infrastructure is inching closer and closer to Russia’s borders. But when Russia takes action to ensure its security, we are told that Russia is engaging in dangerous maneuvers near NATO borders. In fact, NATO borders are getting closer to Russia, not the opposite,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told Sweden’s Dagens Nyheter daily. Poland and the Baltic States of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia have regularly pressed NATO headquarters to beef up the alliance’s presence on their territory. According to the 1997 NATO-Russia Founding Act, the permanent presence of large NATO formations at the Russian border is prohibited. Yet some voices in Brussels are saying that since the NATO troops stationed next to Russia are going to rotate, this kind of military buildup cannot be regarded as a permanent presence. Russia’s Defense Ministry says it’s ready for a tit-for-tat response to any NATO military activity near Russia’s borders. As Russia’s envoy to NATO Aleksandr Grushko put it, there are no “passive observes” in the Russian armed forces and Moscow would definitely compensate militarily for an “absolutely unjustified military presence.”

Russia to deploy missiles invulnerable to NATO missile defence

29.04.2016 | Source: Pravda.Ru

Russia completes development of the newest-generation missiles, invulnerable to the NATO weapons, and missile defense in particular, Evgeniy Serebrennikov, first deputy chairman of the Russian Federation Council on defence and security, reported. Serebrennikov explained that namely these missiles will be deployed first on the northern borders of Russia if Sweden joins the NATO. The Senator pointed out that Russia will increase number of its Armed Forces too in this case. "The case is not only about military and technical measures, but also the quantitative ones. Russia will boost number of its Armed Forces on the northern and north-western borders, including the Northern Fleet, if Sweden joins the NATO," the Senator claimed. He added that it's an inevitable response to the NATO's aim to expand in close vicinity to the Russian borders. As Pravda.Ru reported, Sergey Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister, stated that Russia would respond with military technical measures on its northern borders in case Sweden decides to join the NATO. The NATO representative said that "Sweden didn't apply for the membership, but it's one of the most active, engaged and effective partners. We share the same values and challenges. We have been working side by side in operations under the NATO command, including Kosovo and Afghanistan. We appreciate our partnership, which makes the NATO and Sweden more secure." Pravda.Ru

Christian Mercenaries Enter Islamic Territories, Kill Muslim Terrorists In Order To Rescue Christians In Heroic Crusade Against Islam And The Persecution Of Christians

By Ted on April 30, 2016 in Featured, General By Theodore Shoebat

There has been little attention on this, but Christian mercenaries have been entering Islamic terrorist territories, killing Muslim terrorists in order to defend Christians in a heroic Crusade against Islam and the persecution of Christians. Christian mercenaries from Serbia, alongside Russian forces, have been fighting against ISIS and retaking very significant areas. After ISIS took Palmyra, it was Russian forces, with much help from Serbian Christian fighters, who really vanquished the terrorists and drove them out of the ancient city. While the media was saying that it was Syrian forces who retook Palmyra, behind the awareness of journalists, so few have acknowledged that it was Christian fighters, veterans who combated the Muslim Albanians in the Balkans, and faced the afflictions of Clinton’s imperialist administration, who have been fighting these Islamic terrorists, who are but mere creations of US policy in the Middle East. The Russian newspaper, Fontanka, interviewed several of the mercenaries and obtained several documents showing that Serbian mercenaries have indeed been in Syria, and that they are led by a Bosnian Serb called Davor Dragolobovic Savicic. According to the same source, the mercenaries are part of a private company called Wagner, and that they were hired by Russia to assist in fighting in Syria. Savicic told Fontanka that he did not participate in fighting in Syria, but Fontanka states that they have documentation proving that he was seen in a training camp in the Russian town of Molkinowhere a number of Wagner-contracted fighters were deployed to Syria. According to some of the mercenaries interviewed by Fontanka, Savicic was highly esteemed by his superiors for his martial prowess and extensive experience in combat, and was even given the nickname Wolf as a reflection of his adroitness on the battlefield. Savicic also took part in the fighting in Ukraine to help pro-Russian forces. In 1990s Savicic was given the nickname, Elvis, on account of his enthusiasm for fighting Muslim Bosnians. It has been said that Savicic was seen in Ukraine alongside 50 other Serb fighters taking part in the uprising against the pro-Western Ukrainian government. These Serbian mercenaries fight for the Christian Faith, not the false faith fabricated by modernists, but the true Faith that stems from Christ Himself, and that was taught through the Apostles and to their successors, who spread the seeds of Faith, who nurtured them in the soils of humanity’s soul, and the world watched as the vine of zeal grew and its flowers bloomed to an awe inspiring beauty. Shoebat.com spoke with its Balkan’s correspondent, Lazar, about these mercenaries. “They call them mercenaries we call them volunteers”, he said. “Most of them fight for the Orthodoxy but there are among them dogs of war.” Lazar affirmed that these fighters act more as advisors for Syrian soldiers, saying: “I think that they are more involved as advisors, and for the training of Assad’s army, due to the unique experience they have.” We are truly living history! Christian warriors from the Balkans are fighting Muslim terrorists in order to protect Christians; the Roman Catholic Church and the Russian Orthodox Church are working together to rebuild churches that have been destroyed by Muslim terrorists as part of an historical measure to further alliances between the two apostolic churches. Its as though the Middle Ages are returning, with Orthodox and Catholic working more and more together to fight the forces of the antichrist. I assure you, in the future, both Eastern and Western churches will reunite and become one to fight the chaotic forces of the abyss.

Large fire engulfs Rockdale church hours after Orthodox Easter services

Date May 2, 2016 Megan Levy

A large fire has destroyed a church and forced the evacuation of scores of residents from a nursing home in Sydney's south overnight, firefighters say. Fire investigators were to examine the ruins of the Macedonian Orthodox Church of the Resurrection in Rockdale early on Monday morning to determine the cause of the blaze, which broke out about 9.45pm on Sunday. Superintendent Adam Dewberry, from Fire and Rescue NSW, said about 60 firefighters battled the blaze at the church on Frederick Street for several hours, before bringing it under control. Large flames could be seen shooting from the roof of the church, which earlier on Sunday had hosted services for Orthodox Easter. Churchgoers watched from the street as their place of worship went up in flames. "[It's] Orthodox Easter at the moment, and who knows, maybe candles left? Never know," one church member said. Superintendent Dewberry said about 60 residents were evacuated from the neighbouring nursing home, with fears the blaze could spread to that building. "The fire did escalate rather quickly in the first calls [to triple zero]," Superintendent Dewberry said. "There was some heat damage done to the windows [of the nursing home] that adjoin the church, and some of the church walls did collapse." The nursing home residents were allowed to return to their rooms about 1am, he said. Fire and Rescue NSW Commissioner Greg Mullins said three firefighters were struck by falling bricks when sections of the church walls collapsed. Two were taken to hospital in a stable condition, and were expected to make a full recovery. "One of them, it hit him on the air cylinder that he was wearing, knocked him to the ground. He was dragged out by colleagues," Commissioner Mullins said. "Another firefighter was struck by bricks along one side, on the shoulder, chest and leg." Police set up a 100-metre exclusion zone around the church during the fire and traffic was diverted into surrounding streets. Frederick Street remained closed to west-bound traffic between Watkin Street and Linwood Avenue on Monday morning. Victoria's oldest Greek Orthodox church, The Annunciation of Our Lady, was also damaged by fire on Monday. But NSW police said there was no known link between the fires. St George Inspector Sean Daley said police would begin to investigate forensic evidence on Tuesday now that the danger of a collapsed roof has been averted. Police have not learned of any threats against the church and have no received no camera footage or witness accounts of suspicious presences around it before the fire. In a separate incident, firefighters were called to an apartment fire in Waterloo in Sydney's inner south early on Monday morning. Police and fire crews arrived at the building on Wellington Street just after 2am to find the second-floor unit well alight. Residents in the building were evacuated, and a 77-year-old man was taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital with smoke inhalation. The cause of the fire has not been determined. Investigations into both fires are continuing.

Manhattan church engulfed in flames: 'Irreplaceable' 160-year-old Orthodox cathedral is consumed by fire on Easter Sunday

Flames have engulfed the 160-year-old Serbian Cathedral of Saint Sava in Manhattan's central Flatiron district

Easter services were taking place at the Orthodox Christian church today, including a lunch at 1pm

Fortunately, nobody was believed to have been inside the building when the blaze broke out, the FDNY said

It is not known how the fire started or the extent of the damage, but the building appears to have been gutted

The church, built in 1855, was declared a landmark in 1968 and branded 'irreplaceable' by New York officials

See more news from New York as Manhattan's 160-year-old Serbian Cathedral engulfed in flames

By Chris Pleasance For Dailymail.com and Associated Press Published: 18:49 EST, 1 May 2016 | Updated: 15:32 EST, 3 May 2016

A 160-year-old Orthodox Christian cathedral in New York has been completely destroyed after a huge fire tore through it on Sunday The blaze broke out at the Serbian Cathedral of Saint Sava on 25th Street in Manhattan's Flatiron district at around 7pm. It is not known how the fire started, though it is believed to have broken out on the first floor of the building before consuming the interior and roof. An FDNY spokesman said that nobody was believed to be inside the building at the time the fire started, and there have been no reports of injuries. Fire officials said the church's caretaker ran inside the church to try to put out the blaze but suffered minor smoke inhalation and had to be rescued. 'I feel like I'm in a nightmare right now,' said church priest, Father Djokan Majstorovic as he tried to get to the fire scene that was blocked off by firefighters. Alex Velic, 31, the caretaker's stepson, told the Daily News he lives next door. He said he smelled smoke and came outside and saw the church on fire. 'Once the fire caught the wood there was flames coming out of the top of the church. That's when people were going crazy,' Velic said. "I'm in shock. I don't know what to say. It's sad.' Hundreds of onlookers gathered in the street to watch the vain attempts to save the building, with dozens taking to Twitter to describe the scene. One user, going by the name Matty Brocker, said people were 'crying' as the building went up in smoke, while others branded the sigh 'horrific' and mourned a 'huge loss for the community'. The Serbian Cathedral of Saint Sava was designed in 1850 by architect Richard M. Upjohn, the founder of the American Institute of Architects, and first consecrated in 1855 by the Episcopal Diocese. The church was designated a New York City landmark in 1968 and at the time the New York Landmarks Preservation Commission said the church's 'striking appearance commands special attention. It added that 'its special character, historic significance, and aesthetic interest and value of the development, heritage, and cultural characteristics of New York make it irreplaceable.' In 1865 the church played host to the first Orthodox liturgy was held in an Episcopal church in the U.S., an event described at the time as the 'inauguration of the Russian-Greek Church in America.' American writer Edith Wharton married socialite Edward Wharton in the chapel in 1885, and later immortalized the church in her famous novel, The Age of Innocence.

Another Doctor, 25 y/o, Mysteriously Found Dead In Body Of Water- No Witnesses

By Erin Elizabeth - May 2, 2016

A fourth doctor, in so many months, has been found dead in a body of water. In all four of the water cases (out of over 30) they are unsolved and or mysterious- although all are pretty damn mysterious. Dr Bradstreet’s case (the first in our series) has yet to be officially closed, and the family has hired at least one PI (I’ve interviewed them on this a few times.) Then Dr Marshall was found in a river and the authorities said the cause was drowning, but his wife (also a doctor) didn’t buy it and hired her own PI as well to investigate. There was also a famous holistic doctor from ABC news who allegedly hit her head and fell into the ocean in Hawaii. And now this: last seen on February 12, Dr. Rose Polge apparently walked off her job in a stressed state, where she worked at Torbay Hospital in Devon, and was missing for almost two months. Police later recovered her body from the sea more than 50 miles away from where a hoodie (believed to belong to her) was found. There is now an inquest into her death after post-mortem results proved inconclusive. There are rumors that Dr. Polge left a note to the Health Secretary on the day of her disappearance, but we cannot confirm this. Rose Anna Polge was found dead after she disappeared Dr. Polge grew up in the affluent village of Melbourn, near Royston, Hertfordshire, and was a vocal supporter of the junior doctors’ strike (click here to learn more about the strike). In fact, before her disappearance, she had posted a new Facebook profile picture, featuring the hashtag #notfairnotsafe. And she had also shared a link to a petition asking the British Medical Association to support a strike for junior doctors based on Hunt’s proposed contract changes. While some may speculate that she was killed for her disdain of the current NHS troubles, no one knows. We do know that the hospital where the doctor worked has one of the worst “A&E” (or emergency department) units in the country, and likely the new contract would have made things even more difficult.

Australia to spend over $11mn to eradicate carps by releasing herpes virus into rivers

Published time: 1 May, 2016 17:59

Australia will spend more than US$11 million in a bid to exterminate European carp by releasing a virulent strain of herpes into the country’s largest waterway. As much as 15 million Australian dollars will be spent on funding the clearing of the Murray-Darling Basin from the country’s worst freshwater feral pest. This will be included into Tuesday’s federal budget, Australian authorities said on Sunday. Interestingly enough, the war on fish is to be waged by an unusual means – the water will be contaminated with a special type of herpes, known as koi herpes. READ MORE: All viruses that infect people or animals can be detected in a single new test Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) scientists have been carrying out various tests for nearly a decade on other animals including chickens, mice, frogs, turtles and water dragons “to determine the safety and suitability” of the virus in dealing with an excessive carp population. The virus was proven to be harmless to humans and animals, but it causes kidney failure in carps, attacks their skin and kills the fish after sitting tight in its system for about seven days. “It causes high death rates in common carp and in the ornamental koi carp. No other species of fish, including goldfish, are known to be affected by the virus,” CSIRO official website says. “It affects the European carp by attacking their kidneys, their skin, their gills and stopping them breathing effectively,” Australian Science Minister Christopher Pyne said, according to ABC news. “They have the virus for a week before they show any symptoms and it suddenly kills them within 24 hours,” he added. It’s been calculated that the carp-control program planned to be launched in 2018 will kill 95 percent of the targeted fish over the next 30 years. The project can’t be brought to life right away since it is still to be determined how to deal with dead bodies most effectively. A significant part of the budgeting is to be spent specifically on a clean-up program. “There’s obvious talk about whether the carp could be used for fertilizer, whether they could be used for pet food, whether they'll need to be buried in large graves and be allowed to dissipate back into the system,” Pyne noted. Carps, that were described as the “rabbits of waterways” by Australia’s Agriculture and Water Resources Minister Barnaby Joyce for how quickly they breed and spread, have brought other populations of fish in the Murray River to the verge of extinction. Apart from that, every year Australia loses up to 500 million Australian dollars (more than US$ 380 million) due to the uncontrolled population of carps, he also said.

‘Silent’ volcano spectacularly awakens after Japanese earthquake, blasts ash high into air (VIDEO)

Published time: 1 May, 2016 18:31

A spectacular eruption happened in southern Japan following an unusual ‘silent’ period for a volcano in the wake of the island’s recent earthquakes. Sakurajima volcano in Kyushu, situated 50 kilometres from the Sendai nuclear plant, resumed activity from April 29, erupting multiple times and spewing ash sky high. Footage captured by University of Tokyo webcams situated around the volcano show explosions of ash rising more than 3,500 meters above the crater.

Foreshock? A Significant Earthquake Just Hit The New Madrid Fault Seismic Zone

By Michael Snyder, on May 1st, 2016

Could the earthquake that just struck the New Madrid fault seismic zone near the town of La Center, Kentucky be a “foreshock” for a much bigger quake yet to come? Very early on Sunday morning, a magnitude 3.5 earthquake hit western Kentucky, and it was felt in parts of three other states as well. In fact, it is being reported that the quake could be felt all the way over in Miller, Missouri, which is 267 miles away. The New Madrid fault seismic zone is six times larger than the more famous San Andreas fault zone in California, and it covers portions of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi. Scientists tell us that the New Madrid fault is about 30 years overdue for a major event, and because of the nature of the Earth’s crust in that part of the country, a major earthquake would do significant damage all the way to the east coast. A big Hollywood blockbuster was named after the San Andreas fault, but the truth is that the New Madrid fault has the potential to do vastly more damage. That is why what happened in a remote section of western Kentucky very early this morning was so alarming… An earthquake near La Center, Kentucky was felt in parts of Illinois and Missouri early on Sunday morning. According to the National Weather Service in Paducah and the USGS, a magnitude 3.5 was recorded about 8.7 miles north of La Center and 24.2 miles west of Paducah. It happened around 1:12 a.m. and had a depth of about 8.3 miles. Quite often, there are “foreshocks” that warn us that a major earthquake is coming to a particular area, and many are wondering if this event qualifies. Most Americans don’t tend to think of the middle of the country as an area that is in danger from earthquakes, but the truth is that some of the worst earthquakes in U.S. history have taken place along the New Madrid fault. The following comes from the USGS… The New Madrid seismic zone of southeast Missouri and adjacent States is the most seismically active in North America east of the Rockies. During the winter of 1811-1812 three very large earthquakes devastated the area and were felt throughout most of the Nation. They occurred a few weeks apart on December 16, January 23, and February 7. Hundreds of aftershocks, some severely damaging by themselves, continued for years. Prehistoric earthquakes similar in size to those of 1811-1812 occurred in the middle 1400’s and around 900 A.D. Strong, damaging earthquakes struck the southwestern end of the seismic zone near Marked Tree, Arkansas in 1843 (magnitude 6.3), and the northeastern end near Charleston, Missouri in 1895 (magnitude 6.6). Since 1900, moderately damaging earthquakes have struck the seismic zone every few decades. Those earthquakes in 1811 and 1812 tore thousands of very deep fissures in the ground, they caused the Mississippi River to actually run backwards in some places, and they caused sidewalks to crack in Washington D.C. and church bells to ring in Boston. In our time, the U.S. Geological Survey has admitted that the New Madrid fault zone has the “potential for larger and more powerful quakes than previously thought“, and we have seen the number of significant earthquakes in the middle part of the country more than quintuple in recent years. If a magnitude 7 or magnitude 8 earthquake were to strike along the New Madrid fault today, the damage that would be done would be absolutely unimaginable because of the nature of the Earth’s crust in this region. According to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, earthquakes along the New Madrid fault “shake and damage an area approximately 20 times larger than earthquakes in California”… Due to the harder, colder, drier and less fractured nature of the rocks in the earth’s crust in the central United States, earthquakes in this region shake and damage an area approximately 20 times larger than earthquakes in California and most other active seismic areas. Even though large earthquakes occur much less frequently in the NMSZ than in California, the long term average quake threat, in terms of square miles affected per century, is about the same because of the approximately 20 times larger area affected in the central United States. Are you starting to get an idea of just how devastating this kind of disaster could be? Once upon a time, our continent almost divided along the New Madrid fault. Of course that didn’t happen, but a massive scar formed deep underground, and this area of weakness has remained ever since. The following comes from Wikipedia… The faults responsible for the New Madrid Seismic Zone are embedded in a subsurface geological feature known as the Reelfoot Rift that formed during the breakup of the supercontinent Rodinia in the Neoproterozoic Era (about 750 million years ago). The resulting rift system failed to split the continent, but has remained as an aulacogen (a scar or zone of weakness) deep underground, and its ancient faults appear to have made the Earth’s crust in the New Madrid area mechanically weaker than much of the rest of North America. This relative weakness is important, because it would allow the relatively small east-west compressive forces associated with the continuing continental drift of the North American plate to reactivate old faults around New Madrid, making the area unusually prone to earthquakes in spite of it being far from the nearest tectonic plate boundary. One day, I believe that a major seismic event in the area of this deep scar will literally divide the United States in half. What that will do to our country is the kind of stuff that apocalyptic novels are written about. And it is also important to keep in mind that there are 15 nuclear reactors along the New Madrid fault zone, so if a massive earthquake did strike the region we could be looking at Fukushima times 15. So yes, I am always concerned whenever a significant earthquake hits the New Madrid fault. On another note, I want to thank everyone who has helped make my new book entitled “The Rapture Verdict” such a roaring success. Over the weekend it actually bumped into the top 300 on Amazon.com. At one point it was sitting at #237 out of more than 3,000,000 books currently listed on the site. In Matthew 24, Jesus warned us that the time just prior to His return would be marked by earthquakes in diverse places, and right now we are witnessing a dramatic rise in seismic activity all over the planet. A great shaking is coming to this nation, and the majority of Americans are completely unprepared for it. Are you? *About the author: Michael Snyder is the founder and publisher of End Of The American Dream.

U.S. Justice Department Demands North Carolina Not Enforce New Restroom Law

By Heather Clark on May 4, 2016

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Justice has sent a letter to the governor of North Carolina declaring that a newly-passed law requiring the use of government restrooms to be consistent with one’s birth gender violates the federal Civil Rights Act, and is demanding confirmation by Monday that officials “will not comply with or implement” the restroom requirement. The letter, issued Wednesday to Gov. Pat McCrory, was written by Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Vanita Gupta, and accuses the state of violating federal law by not allowing men who identify as women and vice versa in the restroom that correlates with their gender identity. “The State is engaging in a pattern or practice of discrimination against transgender state employees, and both you in your official capacity and the state are engaging in a pattern or practice of resistance to the full enjoyment of Title VII rights by transgender employees of public agencies,” she wrote. The correspondence focused on government employees who identify as the opposite gender. “Access to sex-segregated restrooms and other workplace facilities consistent with gender identity is a term, condition or privilege of employment,” Gupta said. “Denying such access to transgender individuals, whose gender identity is different from the gender assigned at birth, while affording it to similarly situated non-transgender employees, violates Title VII.” The cited section of federal law prohibits employers from discriminating against a person because of their gender. The law has generally been considered as applying to discrimination against women in treating females as inferior to males. Gupta also referenced Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits educational institutions from discriminating against a person based on their gender. “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance,” it reads. But Gupta says that the courts have interpreted the law as applying to gender identity issues as well, and therefore, “H.B. 2, which took effect on March 23, 2016, is facially discriminatory against transgender employees on the basis of sex because it treats transgender employees, whose gender identity does not match their biological sex, as defined by H.B. 2, differently from similarly situated non transgender employees.” She gave McCrory until Monday to advise the Department of Justice that the state will not “comply with or implement” the state’s newly-passed restroom law, and that it will notify state employees that “they are permitted to access bathrooms and other facilities consistent with their gender identity.” McCrory has yet to comment on the letter, but has advised in previous comments that H.B. 2 permits those who identify as transgender to use the restroom that correlates with their preferred identity if they obtain a revised birth certificate. North Carolina could be stripped of millions in federal funding if its stands its ground in upholding its prohibitions against men in women’s restrooms and vice versa. The law solely applied to government buildings and did not govern private businesses, which are free to set their own policies.

American support for Israel prevails over attempts to ostracize Jewish state

By Joshua S. Block May 03, 2016, 04:00 pm

This week, the Iowa State Legislature became the eighth state to pass critical legislation that rejects hateful anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) hatred, following similar legislation passed in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana and South Carolina. Similar bills are now pending in several other states. Fueled by virulent anti-Semitism, supporters of such discriminatory tactics are not just attacking the Jewish State, but seeking to undermine the unbreakable bonds that unite America with its closest ally in the Middle East and the region's only liberal, tolerant, open society – Israel. Through votes in state legislatures, American lawmakers are continuing to deliver a loud and clear message to the anti-Israel agitators: your smear campaign to delegitimize and demonize Israel has backfired. Your attempts to malign Israel with false accusations of repellent human rights violations and obscene blood libels like “organ stealing” have been exposed. Instead, community reaction in the eight states where discriminatory anti-Israel BDS schemes have so far been defeated has overflowed with support for Israel. Indeed, it has been heartening to observe communities and leaders in states as diverse as Iowa and Florida mobilizing and taking action to embrace Israel’s values and friendship, and ensuring that American tax dollars are not flowing to companies that engage in or otherwise indulge BDS-hate. Just last month, Florida Governor Rick Scott held a ceremony while signing into law a bill that prohibited the State Board of Administration from investing in companies that unjustly target Israel through boycotts. The sentiments the Governor expressed echoed those heard in the other states that have opposed singling out the Jewish state, noting that the BDS movement is one “fueled by intolerance and anti-Semitism.” For years, the proponents of this anti-Semitic movement have sought to mainstream anti-Israel discrimination in America, and around the world. Business sectors and college campuses have been specifically targeted as breeding grounds for isolating Israel. With our partners in communities across the country, The Israel Project is leading the charge in educating decision-makers and informing national media regarding the anti-Semitic core of BDS. We are helping expose the true motive of BDS: to ostracize Israel, delegitimize the Jewish State’s right to exist, and ultimately derail the Middle East peace process. We are providing evidence and statistics reflecting Israel’s staunch commitment to maintaining the highest levels of ethical standards during wartime situations, showcasing Israel’s selfless dedication to providing humanitarian aid during times of crises worldwide, and highlighting the undeniable benefits of securing and strengthening America’s longtime friendship with the State of Israel. The first eight states that have had the opportunity to vote have categorically rejected the anti-Israel movement, and instead deepened their embrace of the State of Israel as an economic partner and trusted ally in the Middle East. These states have demonstrated that there is simply no place for anti-Semitism or anti-Israel bias in their communities, and have also taken steps to expand trade and other mutually beneficial ties with Israel.

First Muslim Miss USA converts to Christianity

ruth-gledhill Ruth Gledhill Christian Today Contributing Editor 04 May

The woman who was believed to be the first Muslim to win the title when she was crowned Miss USA in 2010 has converted to Christianity. Rima Fakih gave her life to Christ last month in the run-up to her marriage in Lebanon next week to Wassim Salibi, a wealthy music producer who is a Maronite Christian. Canadian singer The Weeknd, who is managed by Salibi, will perform at the wedding. Fakih recently tweeted a verse from Philippians: Fakih's faith was Shia Muslim but she attended a Catholic school. In a Huffington Post interview in 2010 she said: "We're more of a spiritual family. Religion really doesn't define me or my family. My family's been very liberal, and we appreciate all different kinds of religions." She added: "My brother-in-law is Christian, and he (and my sister) baptised their two sons. I have an uncle who converted to Christianity, and he's a priest now." She said: "We'd go to church on Easter. We always had a Christmas tree and every year we go the Radio City Christmas Show, and watch Miracle on 34th Street. But we celebrate some of the Islamic holidays as well." According to Albawaba, It was only when she went to university in the US that Fakih connected with her Muslim roots: "When I went to the University of Michigan, because there's more of a Muslim community, my dad wanted me to learn more about Islam," she said. "I didn't know much about Ramadan and other holidays, and my dad wanted me to take that opportunity and learn." On social media, most responses have been supportive of her conversion. After she won the top beauty pageant, Fakih was quoted as saying: "I'd like to say I'm American first, and I am an Arab-American, I am Lebanese-American, and I am Muslim-American." Some Muslim scholars at the time criticised her for entering the competition in the first place.

IAF warplanes hit Hamas targets in Gaza following mortar fire at IDF troops

No reports of injuries after strikes near Rafah; army speculates shelling of its troops may be response to border operation to find, destroy terror tunnels

By Ilan Ben Zion May 4, 2016, 8:49 pm

Israeli Air Force warplanes struck five Hamas targets near the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah on Wednesday evening, in response to mortar fire from the terror group at IDF troops on the border, the army said in a statement. The IDF confirmation came after Palestinian media reported IAF planes carrying out several bombing runs, striking targets near Rafah. There were no immediate reports of injuries. IDF Spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner said in a statement that Israel “will continue to operate in order to protect the civilians of Israel from all Hamas terrorist threats above and beneath ground.” “Our efforts to destroy the #Hamas terror tunnel network, a grave violation of Israel’s sovereignty, will not cease or be deterred.” The air strikes struck targets around Gaza’s derelict international airport and in nearby farming areas, without causing casualties, said the interior ministry for the Hamas-run Strip.

The World Now Faces Two Horrific Nightmares

May 05, 2016

Bill Gross Warns Robotization Of The World To Create Massive Job Losses

Here is a portion of today’s note from Art Cashin: And He Wasn’t Even At The Dinner – Wednesday, I wrote about the potentially transformational round of robotics and automation that we are likely entering into. That discussion had been sparked at my dinner with David Kotok, et. al, a little over a week ago. Some friends who read those comments pointed me to the latest Outlook from the great Bill Gross. He had a somewhat similar take on the topic. Here is a bit: But here’s the thing. No one in 2016 is really addressing the future as we are likely to experience it, and while that future has significant structural headwinds influenced by too much debt and an aging demographic, another heavy gust merits little attention on the political stump. I speak in this Outlook to information technology and the robotization of our future global economy. Virtually every industry in existence is likely to become less labor-intensive in future years as new technology is assimilated into existing business models. Transportation is a visible example as computer driven vehicles soon will displace many truckers and bus/taxi drivers. Millions of jobs will be lost over the next 10-15 years. But medicine, manufacturing and even service intensive jobs are at risk. Investment managers too! Not only blue collar but now white collar professionals are being threatened by technological change. Nobel Prize winning economist Michael Spence wrote in 2014 that “should the digital revolution continue…The structure of the modern economy and the role of work itself may need to be rethought.” The role of work? Sounds like code for fewer jobs to me. And if so, as author Andy Stern writes in Raising the Floor, a policymaker – a future President or Prime Minister – must recognize that existing government policies have “built a whole social infrastructure based on the concept of a job, and that concept does not work anymore.” In other words, if income goes to technological robots whatever the form, instead of human beings, our culture will change and if so policies must adapt to those changes. As visual proof of this structural change, look at Chart I showing U.S. employment/population ratios over the past several decades. See a trend there? 78% of the eligible workforce between 25 and 54 years old is now working as opposed to 82% at the peak in 2000. That seems small but it’s really huge. We’re talking 6 million fewer jobs. Do you think it’s because Millenials just like to live with their parents and play video games all day? I think not. Technology and robotization are changing the world for the better but those trends are not creating many quality jobs. Our new age economy – especially that of developed nations with aging demographics – is gradually putting more and more people out of work. As I wrote yesterday, and as Mr. Gross states, this is an enormously important development. It should be the topic of Page 1 discussion in the days and months ahead. Overnight And Overseas – In Asia, Japan is closed yet again as tensions build around tomorrow’s reopening. Shanghai and Australia were mildly higher while emerging market were shaky. In Europe, markets are generally a bit higher but financials continue to face headwinds. Political tensions in Turkey put that market in a tailspin. A number of markets are closed around the globe. Precious metals are firmer but base metals sink again while the dollar rallies. Crude is up smartly as the Alberta wildfire and geo-political tensions help squeeze the shorts. Consensus – The spike in crude has put a bid under stock futures. We think that inter-relationship probably will set the tone throughout the day. Markets may begin to look to early economic consequences in a Trump/Clinton alternative. Stick with the drill – stay wary, alert and very, very nimble. The Second Nightmare Facing The World…Downward Economic Pressure An important note today from Peter Boockvar: China’s private sector weighted Caixin services PMI for April fell to 51.8 from 52.2 in March and vs 51.2 in February. Combining this with the release of the manufacturing index the other day brings the composite index to 50.8 from 51.3 last month. Services of course is keeping the overall figure in expansion. Within the services figure, new orders rose to a 3 month high “with some firms commenting on improved underlying client demand and new product launches” according to Caixin. Employment also rose “though the rate of payroll expansion was marginal” and “contrasted with a slight reduction in employment in the previous month.” Caixin bottom lined the economic data by saying “the economy still faces relatively strong downward pressure.” Indeed, with bouts of stimulus creating the belief of stabilization. China’s over indebted economy will continue to slow and the key question is how the Chinese deal with it. Will they let highly leveraged companies go bankrupt? Will they follow thru on capacity closures and layoffs? To avoid turning into Japan, the answer better be yes, however disruptive and painful it will be in the short term. The Shanghai index rose .2% but the H share index fell for a 4th straight day and almost 5% over this time period to near a two month low. The AH premium widened to the biggest in a month. The offshore yuan fell to the lowest level since late March while the onshore value was up a touch. The PMI’s out of Hong Kong and Singapore were weak. Hong Kong’s PMI remained well below 50 at 45.3 vs 45.5 in March. Singapore’s PMI fell to 49.4, the lowest since September ‘13 from 52. The collateral damage from the slowdown in China is obvious. The only data point of note in Europe was the UK services PMI for April which fell to 52.3, the weakest in about three years from 53.7 in March. The estimate was 53.5. Employment growth was the slowest since August ’13. Markit said “Some of the slowdown may be attributable to the early timing of Easter, though April also saw an increase in the number of companies reporting that uncertainty about the EU referendum caused customers to hold back on purchases, exacerbating already-weak demand linked to global growth jitters and ongoing government spending cuts.” The pound is down for a 3rd day vs the US dollar but also follows euro weakness today vs the dollar as its back below $1.15. The UK economy seems on hold until this vote is over with. A day after the ECB decided to eliminate the 500 euro note and in the face of negative interest rates fears and German anger, ECB executive board member Yves Mersch is trying to allay some concerns for those fearing the ECB wants to make it really hard to stuff cash under the mattress. He said “For many citizens cash symbolizes not only purchasing power, but also represents privacy. Abolishing cash is not the agenda.” He also backed away from the effectiveness of negative interest rates by saying “the effectiveness of excessively negative interest rates is probably overestimated.” ‘Excessively’ and ‘absurdly’ are now two words used by ECB members this week with respect to where they don’t want to go with negative interest rates. Quantifying that however is a mystery but hopefully the harsh blowback to both the ECB and the BoJ will limit it right here. Neel Kashkari added nothing new to the debate on what the Fed is going to do from here by saying “we are watching all the data very closely because we want to make sure that we can keep the economy growing.” Let’s be honest, it’s looking more and more likely that the next rate hike won’t come until the expansion after the next recession. Either then or when the inflation data forces them to if commodity prices continue higher. I get the bear case on commodities based on the China slowdown but I believe that is missing the production cuts and the bankruptcies that will accelerate them.

Russia, China to hold anti-missile drill as US mulls radar deployment in S. Korea

Published time: 5 May, 2016 08:39

The Chinese and Russian military are to hold first-ever joint exercise on how to counter an “incidental or provocative” missile attack. It comes as the US and South Korea are discussing the deployment of advanced THAAD missile interceptors in Asia. The exercise, which is to be conducted later this month in Russia, would be a computer-assisted simulation of a missile threat situation, which Chinese and Russian staff officers would have deal with jointly. The defense ministries of the two countries stressed that the drill was not “aimed against any third nation.” The announcement follows a visit to Russia of Chinese Defense Minister Chang Wanquan, who met his Russian counterpart, Sergey Shoigu, last week. Speaking at a media conference, they said that their ministries need to implement “greater unity and joint effort” to tackle modern security challenges. The official English-language newspaper China Daily linked the drill with US plans to deploy the THAAD anti-missile system in South Korea. Washington and Seoul insist that the system is necessary to protect America's allies from a missile threat from North Korea, but the plan was criticized by both China and Russia, which said such a move would upset the balance of power in the region. THAAD includes a long-range radar system, which would cover large parts of China and Russia's Far East, if deployed in South Korea. North Korea is developing nuclear weapons and rocket technologies in defiance of the UN Security Council, which imposed harsh economic sanctions in response to Pyongyang's latest nuclear test in January. North Korea says it needs powerful weapons to protect itself from a possible US invasion and offered to suspend its nuclear program if the US stops joint military exercises with South Korea. Washington and Seoul rejected the idea.

Most Americans 'Blissfully Unaware Of Nightmare Scenario' - Something Strange Is Going On In North Korea As Dictator Bans Weddings, Funerals And Freedom Of Movement And Prepares To Launch New Nuclear Missile Tests As Early As Friday May 4, 2016

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

The very strange story from the Korean peninsula tells us that Kim Jong-un has banned weddings, funerals and the freedom of movement in the 'hermit kingdom' in preparation for the first 'Party Congress' in 36 years. With Pyongyang now in total lockdown as the first gathering of its kind in nearly 4 decades in North Korea supposed to begin on Friday, we're told that these 'temporary measures' are being made in attempts to minimize 'mishaps' at the event and will likely be used to cement Jong-un's dictatorship as well as to officially declare North Korea a 'nuclear state' while outlining his vision of the North Korean military's future. Is there a reason that Americans, half a world away from North Korea, should be concerned about these latest turn of events thousands of miles away? As we have previously reported on ANP, two North Korean satellites fly over the United States several times every day at what has been called 'the ideal height' to launch an EMP attack upon us according to Dr. Peter Vincent Pry, the executive director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security and an expert on EMP. We also learn in a new report from the GAO, a US government agency, that recommendations made back in 2008 by Dr. Pry's EMP committee have not been implemented, putting all Americans in danger and America at risk of an 'existential event' that could kill-off 90% of Americans within the following year with most Americans 'blissfully unaware' of the 'nightmare scenario' that could set America back several centuries. With Kim preparing to annoint himself as the 'Great Sun of the 21st Century', we also learn in the final video below that he may be conducting more nuclear missile tests as early as Friday and, according to a former aide of his as shared in the 4th video below, like a spoiled little brat, Kim likes to conduct missile tests when he's angry at America and that his military decisions are 'made spontaneously'. Is a 'hothead' in control of nuclear missiles that could be used to strike America? Not so fast we are told.: Kim Jong Un orders the firing of missiles on a whim when he gets upset about U.S. policy toward North Korea. But the North Korean leader has no intention of starting a war, a source close to Kim said. Kenji Fujimoto, the former sushi chef to the current leader's father, Kim Jong Il, told Japanese newspaper Mainichi Shimbun that the younger Kim's military decisions are made spontaneously. As we see in the 1st video below, what is being called a 'rare look inside North Korea', the North Korean people suffer greatly from malnourishment as well as from 'propaganda attacks' by their own government and as we learn in the 2nd video below, this upcoming 'Party Congress' is also being used to reshuffle aids and for North Korea to focus attention on 'the youth' as Kim seeks to further consolidate his power and squash any and all opposition. We're also told that he's brutally killed more than 100 people who have been opposed to his regime, including several family members. Would only an 'impulsive' man do such things? Should we be concerned at all about a man who executed his own uncle by feeding him alive to over 120 hungry dogs having nuclear weapons and consistently threatening to use them against America, over and over and over again? What would a rogue EMP strike against America look like? According to a recent SQAlert republished in part below videos from a 'battle hardened soldier who has seen it all first hand', America needs an 'EMP reality check' as even a newly released report from the GAO (General Accounting Office) says that the US is totally unprepared for an EMP attack. Will the North Korean 'Party Congress' this weekend be used by dictator Kim to launch an attack against South Korea, America or the West? Due to the fact that North Korea would virtually assure their own destruction by carrying out such an attack, we won't be holding our breaths for such an attack to be carried out. However, the fact that the US government hasn't properly prepared for an EMP attack upon us despite being warned by our own Congressional Committee should send up red flags of warning all over. The congress opens on Friday and is expected to cement Kim’s status as supreme leader more than four years after he came to power following the death of his father Kim Jong-Il. The ruling party's official mouthpiece, the Rodong Sinmun daily, said the coming congress was a "sacred" event that would enshrine Kim's achievements, from infrastructure projects to developing submarine-launched ballistic missiles. These were victories won, the newspaper said, through a national struggle against UN sanctions over the North's nuclear programme, the threat posed by US-South Korea military drills and international criticism of the North's human rights record. Referring to the country's nuclear arsenal as a "precious sword", Rodong said the weapons were a "treasure of all happiness that will ensure many things in decades to come". - Nuclear test? - There has been widespread speculation -- backed in part by satellite imagery -- that North Korea is preparing to carry out a fifth nuclear test just before, or even during, the congress to underline its claim to be a genuine nuclear power. The following alert comes to us from the website of Steve Quayle from a battle hardened soldier who has seen it all and who shares with us his advice on what would likely happen after an EMP attack upon America. We pray that this possibility never comes to fruition for if it does, Americas never-ending nightmare will have begun. EMP REALITY CHECK FROM BATTLE HARDENED SOLDIER WHO HAS SEEN IT ALL FIRST HAND REALITY CHECK Let's talk about the serious stuff for a minute. In the worst case scenario that an EMP would hit the US, just how well prepared do you think you are? I'm not going to go over the technical stuff about how an EMP is used, what it is, or even who would use it; honestly I am half inclined to think that this corrupt government of ours would use it on its citizens as a false flag attack. No, that's not what I'm going to talk about now. Instead let's talk about the dirty facts of what will most likely happen with in the first two months of an EMP attack. Now this will be a back forth kind of read. Most of these events I'm listing will be occurring simultaneously and others be a domino effect. Just read and understand that this is just my part of my perspective from the worst case scenario. -Day 1 to 2 weeks- Multiple EMPs hit the majority of the continental United States with little to no warning. A preemptive strike from our U.S. Military has begun on enemy nations. Power goes out nationwide. Basic things survive like cars built prior to the 80s, flashlights, some survival gadgets, anything protected from an EMP that is inside of a faraday cage (that worked); almost all of our basic electronics that we use in a day to day would be fried. Hand pump water wells will be readily used once the electric pumps are gone, better hope you have one. Oil lamps and candles will be lit to "keep the lights on" in the houses and bonfires will become the norm and a sort of gathering place to spread the rumors of the day. Day 2 and beyond, all the frozen meats and fruits will be eaten and people will start to open those old cans of food. People will act like it's an extended camping trip and cooks s'mores with the kids. Men will use the restrooms outside and the women folk will have to be more discreet. Within 5 days martial law is implemented due to panic of no electricity and no running water. A strict curfew has been enforced. Cops are on high alert and heavily armed. Church groups will form up for emergency meeting and so will other community leaders. Ignorant masses are burning thru food rations and sewage and waste are common smell now, along with smoke from fires. Remember that most large cities will run out of food and fresh water within 2 to 3 weeks approximately. Small rural towns may fair a week or two longer before self-sustained food storage starts to get tapped. The Federal, State, and local police forces along with National Guard units are mobilized and bracing for the big event soon to happen, the riots. Groups of men gather together and set up a armed neighborhood watch. Some preppers and vets who saw this coming are implementing their continuity of operations and banding together at rally points. The prepper nation will have the best response to this since they have been storing months plus of food, water, ammo, guns, wood, propane, butane, gas, diesel, solar panels, learned basic first aid and field triage, have plenty of canned foods and most have a sustainable garden or small to large farm, hopefully will be living off the grid in a secured compound and listening in on their HAM radios, kicking back and laughing, if they are smart they will be preparing for unexpected visitors and praying that God will be with them during this storm. 2 weeks into it. Now fresh water is hard to find and multitudes of people have to haul buckets of water from water ,available, sources and must go back and forth several times a day and bring heavy buckets of water back to their homes to use for toilets, bathing, and cooking-some smartly storing and purifying. Ditches will be dug from water ways if possible or if even thought of, to lead from the accessible water ways back to local ponds/reservoirs to act as a water storage area. Stagnate pools will be commonly used for some water sources but may contain debris, dead animals or dead people, parasites and dangerous wildlife seeking refuge in the coolness of the water; and will have to be filtered. People begin to trade and barter for supplies and food. Water towers may last a month or so depending on water levels and usage. Wild animals from zoos are now able to start escaping and they are looking to feed upon anything or anyone (imagine a pride of lions walking through your back yard and eating your golden retriever). Nursing homes are turning into morgues due to a lack of emergency services. Hospitals are being abandoned by staff members while more patients are flooding in. Towns are grouping together and now taking drastic measures to ration food and water, groups are being gathered to put out small fires, posse's are being formed to stop looters, and search parties are being sent out to gather supplies and hunt wildlife. Criminal groups, established gangs, and newly established gangs are now running through cities and towns, doing as they please, taking what they please. These criminal groups are now controlling some main access roads, taking over warehouses, holding people hostage, ambushing families, taking young girls for sex slaves, and using the hostages to trade for food, gas, gear, alcohol, drugs and weapons. You can read the remainder of this educational and eye-opening SQAlert here.

U.S. jobless claims rise; planned layoffs surge

By Lucia Mutikani Reuters May 5, 2016

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits rose more than expected last week, posting the biggest gain in more than a year, but the underlying trend continued to point to a strengthening labor market. Another report on Thursday showed a 35 percent surge in planned layoffs by U.S.-based employers last month. Most of the announced job cuts were concentrated in the energy sector, which is reeling from low oil prices that have hurt profits. Initial claims for state unemployment benefits increased 17,000 to a seasonally adjusted 274,000 for the week ended April30, the Labor Department said. Last week's increase was the largest since February of last year. "We are assuming the move in claims is largely technical. By all accounts, businesses cannot find the skilled labor they need," said Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at MUFG Union Bank in New York. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast initial claims rising to 260,000 in the latest week. Jobless claims have now been below 300,000, a threshold associated with healthy labor market conditions, for 61 consecutive weeks, the longest stretch since 1973. The four-week moving average of claims, considered a better measure of labor market trends as it irons out week-to-week volatility, rose 2,000 to 258,000 last week. Prices for U.S. government debt slightly pared losses after the data, while the U.S. dollar <.DXY> edged up against a basket of currencies. U.S. stock futures were trading higher. The latest claims data has no bearing on April's employment report as it falls outside the survey period. Claims were generally low in April compared to March. That points to a fairly robust labor market despite a report on Wednesday showing hiring by employers in the private sector last month was the weakest in three years. Though the ADP National Employment Report showed a slowdown in services industry hiring last month, an Institute for Supply Management survey showed employment in the services sector increased in April for a second straight month. 'HEAVY JOB CUTS' In a second report on Thursday, global outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas said U.S.-based companies announced 65,141 job cuts last month, up 35 percent from March. The energy sector announced another 19,759 job cuts in April, bringing its total layoffs this year to 72,660. They were also layoffs in the information technology and retail sectors. "It is not unusual to see heavy job cuts in a strong economy. Companies are constantly retooling, and sometimes the best time to do that is when the economy is strong," said John Challenger, the chief executive officer of Challenger, Gray & Christmas. According to a Reuters survey of economists, the Labor Department is expected to report on Friday that nonfarm payrolls increased by 202,000 jobs in April after a gain of 215,000 in March. The unemployment rate is seen holding steady at 5.0 percent and average hourly earnings are forecast rising 0.3 percent for a second consecutive month. Thursday's claims report showed the number of people still receiving benefits after an initial week of aid fell 8,000 to 2.12 million in the week ended April 23, the lowest level since November 2000. The four-week average of the so-called continuing claims declined 17,000 to 2.14 million, also the lowest reading since November 2000.

The 2016 Election Will Produce a Civil War

By Dave Hodges

It is 1860 and Stephen Douglas is running against Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln’s election will lead to a civil war. The pitfalls of catastrophic events were ever present. In 2016, it is Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton. It is becoming clear that the election of either candidate will set off civil unrest and possibly lead to a civil war. We are now just beginning to see a myriad of pieces fall into place in which will irrevocably divide this country for at least a generation. When Hillary Clinton wins, the awakened American people, and some in the military will not accept this country being handed off to the UN and ultimately the Chinese. Hillary has no plan for America and the reason is clear. America has not future is she is elected by hook or crook. If Trump even gets close to winning, the forces are of the NWO are not going to forsake the continued raping of the American people and just give up. They will fight! Here is an early event battleground report about how the philosophies and even the troops which will be associated with Civil War II are coming into play. Dr. Carson Sums Up the Mood of the American People Dr. Ben Carson, someone who I think is going to be the next Surgeon General if the electoral process gets that far, described the pro-Trump movement “that overcame the media’s narrative that the GOP race was headed for a contested convention”. Carson went on to say that “the people themselves have just gotten disgusted with being manipulated and controlled” in what he is clearly calling a corrupt GOP attempt to steal the election. Carson went on to state, that the people “superseded the narrative, and they themselves said, ’We’re gonna take this out of the hands of the convention. And I think that was a brilliant thing.” That is about a good analysis regarding what we have witnessed in the last six primaries that I have seen. Here is Dr. Carson in his own words: Very Tough Times Ahead for Clinton Hitler, in large part, lost World War II because he opened a second and unnecessary front with Russia which eventually led to the collapse of Nazi Germany. The Hitler reincarnate of our modern time, Hillary Clinton, is facing a similar two front war. With Sanders surprising win in Indiana, she has to put out the fire that will not go away within her own Democratic Party. The second front, and the more formidable challenge to her candidacy for President is Donald J. Trump. With regard to Hillary’s very public criminality (e.g. her and Bill’s trail of bodies leading in the Arkansas Governor’s mansion and then the White House and add in Benghazi and now the email scandal), Sanders, being a fellow Democrat can only go so far in his accusations. However, Trump, a man who could not spell “political correctness” will tell it like it is. If this political rhetoric goes the way that many expect, Putin will not have to nuke America, the R’s and the D’s will do the job for him, as it is going to be a long hot summer. It is apparent to many that when the Democratic Party is still talking about Bernie Sanders this close to the election, it is a major problem for Hillary. Hillary does not even have a coherent and consistent message. Her mantra is “we are up in the polls”, no “hope and change” it is “we are up in the polls”. Where are the people supposed to draw their motivation from? And of course there is the specter of the Clinton criminality hanging over her head like a political noose. Most political pundits believe that many of Sander’s supporters will defect to Trump. GOP Division Lyin’ Ted may not be going away, at least not judging by this rant on the morning of the GOP Indiana Primary. This is a classic rant and is worth the price of admission. Controlling the Narrative Most know that 95% of the media is controlled by six corporations. Everyone of these six corporations benefits from free trade agreements, illegal immigration and the division caused by the Refugee/Resettlement Program. Unfortunately for the mainstream media (MSM), the GOP primary demonstrated that the harder the push against Trump, the greater the push back by the people. To some degree, the MSM only knows how to obfuscate the truth and lie to the public. Fox, CNN and the network MSM are all pathological liars. So what will the MSM do with its numerical advantage, but in an atmosphere where their yellow journalism tactics have been negated? Answer, nothing different. A leopard cannot change its spots. What I do expect different from the MSM is more attacks upon the Independent Media who will be in overwhelming support of Trump. This division will draw clear lines of distinction this summer. The sides for civil war will be drawn in large part by the media itself. Cleveland Will Burn This Summer I know for a fact that Soros’ thugs from moveon.org and Black Lives Matter will be in overwhelming presence in Cleveland. These thugs support Clinton because Soros supports Clinton. There job will be to destroy the GOP Convention and convince the voters, sitting on the fence, that the GOP and Trump are too volatile to lead the country. The violence that starts in Cleveland will spread around the country and will be racial in nature. The Electoral College This summer we will begin to hear rumors of the officials of the Electoral College being bought off by TPTB, for it is their vote, not the people, whose votes will elect the next President. Trump could win 70% of the vote and not carry one state if the Electoral College refuses to cast their vote in accordance with the popular vote. And you thought you lived in a Republican form of Democracy. Oh, and one more thing, there is always the question of “dirty” voting machines. Most pollsters will tell you that if the general vote is reported with more than 3-4% variation from the polls, one can easily demonstrate voter fraud. However, do you think TPTB, the criminal elite running this country, will care at this point that you know what they are doing? This is why they have economic collapse, World War III, power grid down, a manufactured food crisis, etc., etc., etc., and the ultimate martial law to accompany any and all of these potentialities waiting in the wings. Right now, UWEX 16 is practicing for Civil War and foreign troops are in play. UWEX 16 (i.e. Jade Helm 16) will be spreading to other states as announced in their operational plans. The Federal Reserve has met with Obama and Biden. The only thing that Obama could the Fed is the use of the military to put down any populist uprising over a stolen election or a false flag attack to prevent the election from happening. The knot in the noose, consists of the foreign troop movements that are taking place on our soil. I am getting repeated reports of large armored columns of UN vechicles being transporting or traveling on their own in the South stretching from Texas to Georgia. However, wide scale proof, with clear and convincing photos, not photo shopped, are lacking. Do I think that foreign military are planning for civil unrest in America? Yes, but we are lacking enough verifiable reports to prove the veracity of the rumors. I am encouraging all to keep their eyes open, take raw footage and transmit the raw footage to outlets like the The Common Sense Show. Yesterday, when I said that America is grave danger because of Trump securing the nomination, these are just a few of the things that I had in mind. Yesterday, I was reading about massive revivals in West Virginia. Pray that these revivals sweep the country because we, the American public are defenseless and our faith is our best defense.

Donald Trump’s policy plans are real, detailed — and great

By Betsy McCaughey May 4, 2016 | 8:51pm Modal Trigger

The rap on Donald Trump is he’s all bluster. The New York Times says he’s offering “incoherent mishmash.” Former GOP rival Ted Cruz claimed Trump has “no idea” how to fix the economy. Don’t believe it. The Trump campaign is putting forward proposals to fix problems from the long waits for medical care at Veterans Affairs facilities to the impending collapse of ObamaCare. Check out Trump’s economic plan, for starters. Unlike Hillary Clinton’s anti-business agenda, Trump’s plan would actually help unemployed Americans get back to work. Trump slashes the corporate tax rate to 15 percent, down from the current 40 percent, the highest rate in the industrialized world. Not all American companies pay that staggering rate, but even after deductions and accounting maneuvers, companies in the United States end up clobbered by taxes nearly twice the global average (24 percent). In Ireland, a magnet for tax-weary companies, the rate is only 12.5 percent and their economy is growing about three times as fast as ours. Conversely, Japan and Argentina are stuck in the doldrums along with America, partly because of their high rates. Trump also proposes a one-time 10 percent repatriation tax on profits US companies made overseas and kept there to avoid the 40 percent rate. That bargain could lure back as much as $2.5 trillion in capital urgently needed here. To promote investing in plants and equipment, Trump would allow companies to write off the purchases the year they’re made, rather than over several years, as current law requires. Economist Larry Kudlow predicts that if Trump’s corporate tax plan becomes law, you’ll see “a tremendous movement of capital and labor back to the United States.” Trump’s lower 15 percent business rate would also apply to small businesses that usually get taxed at individual income tax rates. That would give a break to mom-and-pop operations, startups and other small businesses that are the source of most jobs. Compare Trump’s blueprint with Clinton’s nightmare scenario: Higher taxes, more tax complexity and an avalanche of new regulations. Over-regulation has depressed economic growth for the last 15 years. The Obama administration suffocated business with 81,000 pages of new regulations in 2015 alone. Hillary is pushing for even more — with controls on hiring, pay, bonuses and overtime to promote “fairer growth.” Translation: gender and racial preferences, plus meddling in how much you get paid. Remember Obama’s statement, “You didn’t build that.” Hillary assumes “You don’t own that.” Government will run your business. Hillary wants companies to stop maximizing quarterly earnings for shareholders — what she derides as “quarterly capitalism.” She wants “farsighted investments” (whatever that means). Companies that can get out of the United States will rush for the exits. She’s even promising an end to “the boom-and-bust cycles on Wall Street.” As plausible as ending rainy days. Trump’s “make America rich” plan targets impoverished cities like Baltimore with incentives for companies to move there. For African-Americans, whose unemployment rate is twice as high as the nation’s overall, Trump’s has a four-letter remedy: J-O-B-S. For young blacks with no job experience, he’s got plans. One is borrowed from the left-leaning Century Foundation. Every summer, the State Department brings about 100,000 young foreigners into the United States to work in restaurants, camps and seaside resorts under J-1 visas. Trump says convert the program into a jobs bank for our own inner-city youth. Meanwhile, Hillary is stoking racial hatred, telling black voters they’re victims of “systemic racism” and meeting with Al Sharpton. Hillary says public schools should stop disciplining and suspending black teenagers who misbehave. But self-discipline is precisely what’s needed to succeed at school and on the job. While Hillary panders, Trump offers specifics to get these young people on the job ladder. Clinton’s reputed to be the policy wonk, but she’s just a cynical politician. Trump, who’s rolling out serious policies to get Americans working, is the real deal. Betsy McCaughey is a senior fellow at the London Center for Policy Research.

Hillary Clinton: Australia Gun Ban ‘Worth Looking At’ In U.S.

by AWR Hawkins16 Oct 201519,058

During an October 16 town hall meeting at Keene State College, Democrat presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton said Australia’s confiscation of firearms via a national buyback provides “a good example” for how other countries responded to mass shootings and she said it is “worth looking at” when considering gun policy in the U.S. Clinton made these statements in response to a questioner who asked if we could ban handgun ownership in the U.S. Reading from a card, the elderly questioner asked: “[Regarding] handguns…Australia recently managed to take away tens of thousands–even millions–of handguns, and in one year they were all gone. Can we do that? And if we can’t, why can’t we?” Hillary replied: You know, Australia’s a good example, Canada’s a good example, [and] the UK’s a good example. Why? Because each of them had mass killings, Australia had a huge mass killing about 20 or 25 years ago. Canada did as well, so did the UK. In reaction, they passed much stricter gun laws. In the Australian example, as I recall, that was a buyback program. The Australian government as part of trying to clamp down on the availability of…weapons offered a good price for buying hundreds of thousands of guns and basically clamped down going forward, in terms of having more of a background check approach–more of a permitting approach. Clinton suggested that by using a buyback to confiscate guns “the [Australian] government was able to curtail the supply and set a different standard for gun purchases in the future.” She went on to say “it would be worth considering doing it on the national level” here. On October 3, Breitbart News reported that President Obama hinted at Australian-like gun confiscation in reaction to the heinous attack at Umpqua Community College. Obama said: We know that other countries, in response to one mass shooting, have been able to craft laws that almost eliminate mass shootings. Friends of ours, allies of ours — Great Britain, Australia, countries like ours. So we know there are ways to prevent it.

April Marks 12th Straight Month of Record Gun Sales

Terror threat, calls for gun control likely factors

BY: Stephen Gutowski May 4, 2016 4:03 pm

This April saw the most gun-related background checks of any April on record, making it the 12th month in a row to achieve a high water mark for gun sales. The FBI ran 2,145,865 checks through the National Instant Background Check System last month, according to the agency’s records. That represents more than a 400,000 increase over the previous record set in April 2014. Though the numbers represent the best April on record, the month also saw the fewest checks of any month thus far in 2016. The trend of record-setting months began last May. In that period the background check system has seen records set for the most checks in a day, month, and year. Thus far 2016 is on pace to pass 2015 as the best year on record for gun-related background checks. The number of background checks is considered a reliable barometer for gun sales as nearly all sales made through licensed firearms dealers must by law include such a check. Some states also require a background check for gun sales between private citizens. Such checks are not an exact metric for gun sales due to a number of factors. Most states do not require the checks for private sales. Many states require the checks during their gun carry permit processes. “Based on varying state laws and purchase scenarios, a one-to-one correlation cannot be made between a firearm background check and a firearm sale,” the FBI noted on their background check report. The record-setting streak has coincided with renewed calls by Democrats for new gun control measures. Both President Obama and Hillary Clinton, the presumptive nominee for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, have publicly expressed support for Australian-style gun confiscation regimes in the United States. Clinton has also told donors in private that she believes the Supreme Court is “wrong” about the Second Amendment. Terror attacks on American soil and abroad may also be driving gun sales. Gun rights advocates said calls for gun control from politicians such as Hillary Clinton have fueled the surging gun sales and believe the record levels will continue. “This record setting firearm sales trend will continue all the way to Election Day,” said Alan Gottlieb of the Second Amendment Foundation. “If Hillary Clinton wins, firearm sales will really go through the roof. Gun owners and people concerned about personal security have lost trust in the political class to protect their rights.”

‘NSA totally dysfunctional – too much data to detect threats’ – whistleblower

Published time: 5 May, 2016 09:06

By collecting all the data on everybody on the planet the NSA is just buried; they have too much data to be able to sort out and detect threats in advance, NSA veteran and whistleblower William Binney RT: You say the National Security Agency (NSA) is rendered ineffective by the vast amounts of data it collects. Can we no longer rely on intelligence to prevent terror attacks? William Binney: Well, they haven’t been preventing them so far. The point is that they have been consistently failing to stop these attacks. Originally General [Keith] Alexander claimed to the Senate Judiciary Committee that their programs have stopped 54 attacks in the US, but when he was challenged to prove that - that ended up being zero. The point is: they have too much data to be able to sort out and detect threats in advance. They have no opportunity to stop them. So the result is: the attacks succeed, people get killed, and then they focus on them with all the data they got on everybody on the planet. Then they can follow them up and go after them. But it is too late. RT: So what is the problem here, do you think? What should be done to improve the situation and deal with the terror attacks more effectively? WB: Their problem is they are making their analysts dysfunctional, because they cannot see – there is too much data to go through and they can’t find the threats. That’s all. It just makes them totally dysfunctional. RT: What can a state do to protect itself from terror? WB: They need to do a professional targeted focus to the job. That is the whole point. By taking in all the data on the planet on everybody on the planet they are just buried. After all these terrorist attacks after they happened – they all said that they knew the terrorists before the attacks occurred. So they should have been monitoring them and looking at them very closely. And when they started doing things that look like it was getting to be threatening, then they should have intervened and stopped them. But you need to focus a professional disciplined job to be able to achieve that. That is what they need to do now and stop this bulk acquisition. RT: Are politicians aware of the problem? WB: Yes. Even in fact internally inside NSA and inside GCHQ [Government Communications Headquarters] they have been publishing articles talking about this problem… They are very good at collecting data, but very bad at understanding, because they don’t have the automation of analysis processes to be able to be successful at that on the volumes that they are collecting. But their analysts are saying that internally; their managers and all the politicians are denying it, because there is so much money behind this. They are spending between $5-8 billion a year to do all these acquisition of data across all these agencies. That is a lot of money, there are a lot of people, a lot of contractors, and a lot of contracts that are issued in and a lot of people are employed through this program. RT: Do US authorities reveal their failures to the common people, and are they actually trying to find the way out of the problem? WB: There is certainly a probability. Common sense would tell you: if you’re consistently failing at stopping bad things from happening, you must be doing something wrong… You have to do a review of everything what you are doing to try to figure out what it is. Basically we know what it is – it is bulk acquisition. Their analysts know and those people that have to detect the threats. So they are the ones telling their management. It is just that management, and politicians, and the bureaucrats, and the contractors have this incestuous relationship that keeps all this money flowing and keeps all this happiness management of people going. But it doesn’t solve the problem and this terrorist act will continue without being stopped. Eventually I think people are going to understand this problem. We’re trying to make that well-known here… …If [NSA] get more data – that is just more data on top of the analysts to try to figure out the problem. Right now they can’t do it. They couldn’t even do it back in the 1990’s, that is why we did a program that NSA called ThinThread, which was trying to address that by automating the analysis process and filtering out data right up front so wouldn’t be available internally to waist analysts’ time. We would remove anything that wasn’t relevant right up front and only take in things that were relevant – either known terrorists, or those that fell into the zone of suspicion based on rules built around, social networks and behavior characteristics about site visiting and distribution of social networks… …I would point out that Garland, Texas is a one case where a member of Anonymous tipped off Garland police in Texas two days before that attack that occurred – that it was coming. The reason they did that, because someone at Anonymous was looking at a social network – saw somebody talking about a threat and watched them very closely. That is what our intelligence agencies should be doing. They didn’t detect anything in Garland. That is because they were looking at the whole planet… whereas some member of Anonymous by focusing on that issue found that threat and alerted the police.

"Extremely Dangerous" IED Found Under Bridge In Texas

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/04/2016 11:32 -0400

In recent weeks ISIS has been become far more brazen in its threats against US targets, and just last week released out a "hit list" which allegedly had the personal details of 3,600 New Yorkers whom it "wanted dead." And while it is unknown if there is a terrorist link, the threat may have hit closer to home for residents in Rosebud, Texas when the McLennan County Sheriff’s office and a bomb squad used a water cannon to breach a suspicious device found under a bridge Tuesday night. According to KCEN TV, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives blasted water on the container found just outside Rosebud off Farm to Market Road 1963. Rosebud, about 40 miles southeast of Waco, is home to about 1,400 people. Flammable liquid and shotgun shells were found inside the container, according to Sheriff Parnell McNamara. He said the IED was designed to blow shrapnel and would have been "extremely dangerous" had it gone off. "Someone had made this to create lots of damage and harm," McNamara said. There were no injuries. The liquid was being sent to a lab for analysis. No motive or suspects were named as the investigation continued early Wednesday. If this was indeed the work of some local terrorist organization, we are confident it will promptly take credit for the attempted bomb.

The south is SINKING: Giant chunks of the Earth's mantle are falling off and causing quakes across the southeastern US - and more are coming, warn researchers

Area hit by a series of strange unexplained quakes

Most recent was 2011 magnitude-5.8 earthquake near Mineral, Virginia

Area should be seismically quiet as it is in middle of Earth's tectonic plate

By Mark Prigg For Dailymail.com Published: 13:23 EST, 4 May 2016 | Updated: 19:44 EST, 4 May 2016

The southeastern United States has been hit by a series of strange unexplained quakes - most recently, the 2011 magnitude-5.8 earthquake near Mineral, Virginia that shook the nation's capital. Researchers have been baffled, believing the areas should be relatively quiet in terms of seismic activity, as it is located in the interior of the North American Plate, far away from plate boundaries where earthquakes usually occur. Now, they believe the quakes could be caused by pieces of the Earth's mantle breaking off and sinking into the planet. A new study found pieces of the mantle under this region have been periodically breaking off and sinking down into the Earth. This thins and weakens the remaining plate, making it more prone to slipping that causes earthquakes. The study authors conclude this process is ongoing and likely to produce more earthquakes in the future. 'Our idea supports the view that this seismicity will continue due to unbalanced stresses in the plate,' said Berk Biryol, a seismologist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and lead author of the new study. 'The [seismic] zones that are active will continue to be active for some time.' The study was published in the Journal of Geophysical Research – Solid Earth, a journal of the American Geophysical Union. 'Based on distinct variations in the geometry and thickness of the lithospheric mantle and foundered lithosphere, we propose that piecemeal delamination has occurred beneath the region throughout the Cenozoic, removing a significant amount of reworked/deformed mantle lithosphere,' the team wrote. Compared to earthquakes near plate boundaries, earthquakes in the middle of plates are not well understood and the hazards they pose are difficult to quantify.

Scientists smash record for human embryos grown in the lab in revolutionary breakthrough

Human embryo survives outside the womb for 13 days – about twice the previous record – heralding a new dawn in scientists' understanding of how life begins but triggering a fresh ethical debate

Ian Johnston Science Correspondent 22 hours ago

A human embryo has been grown in a laboratory for twice the length of time than was previously possible in a breakthrough that could “revolutionise” medicine but also raises fresh ethical questions about when life begins. Since scientists first fertilised an embryo in a test tube in 1969, they have never managed to keep one alive for long after the point at which the foetus implants in the womb, normally about seven days. However researchers at Cambridge University have now grown embryos for 13 days -- a process they only stopped to avoid breaking the current legal limit of about 14 days. The ability to observe a human embryo as it grows during this “most enigmatic and mysterious” stage of life in a lab should shed new light on genetic diseases and disabilities. And it could help improve the dismal failure rate of IVF embryos -- currently up to 70 per cent do not successfully implant – and lead to better understanding of miscarriages. Greater knowledge of our early embryonic development might also hasten the arrival of one of the medical world’s greatest hopes: regenerative medicine using stem cells. These can turn into any different kind of cell and doctors believe they could one day be used to treat Alzheimer’s, heart disease and a host of other conditions. The breakthrough immediately led to calls for the Government to consider extending the legal limit, but such a move would be hugely controversial. About 14 days – the limit is also linked to biological changes -- was chosen in the 1980s because it was deemed to be the point at which “individuality” is assigned as twins do not develop after this point. Professor Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz, one of the lead researchers, stressed the benefits of being able to observe an embryo up to 13 days. “We can now, for the very first time, study human development at this very critical time, the time of implantation,” she said. “It is really most enigmatic and mysterious stage of our own development. “Implantation is a milestone in human development as it is from this stage onwards that the embryo really begins to take shape and the overall body plan is decided. “It is also the stage of pregnancy at which many developmental defects can become acquired. But until now, it has been impossible to study this in human embryos. "This new technique provides us with a unique opportunity to get a deeper understanding of our own development during these crucial stages and help us understand what happens, for example, during miscarriage.” It had been “absolutely unbelievable”, she said, to see the “amazing, self-organising ability” of the cells. “They have to talk to themselves and together they make something more beautiful,” Professor Zernicka-Goetz said. But she accepted the research raised ethical questions, particularly “how far we can go?” “I think that longer cultures [of embryos] could provide absolutely critical information for basic human biology. They can improve IVF success, they can improve stem cell differentiation, so this is very important,” she said. “But this would raise the next question, where should we put the next limit? I think this is really not my place to say, one way or the other. "Even if I believe there’s a scientific case for it, [the decision] should be taken with other scientists, ethicists and the general public.” Professor Zernicka-Goetz added that she thought they might only be technically able to grow an embryo for perhaps a day past the limit and dismissed suggestions that it could lead to the lab-based creation of human life. “There’s no way to grow [even] a mouse outside the womb. It’s really just science fiction, it’s not possible,” she said. This point was echoed by Professor Allan Pacey, of Sheffield University, who was not involved in the research. "It will not open the door to couples being able to grow babies in the laboratory; this is not the dawn of a Brave New World scenario," he said. "But it does open up exciting opportunities to understand the nature of human disease and disability and for that reason the scientists involved should be congratulated." Professor Robin Lovell-Badge, a leading geneticist and stem cell expert, said there should be a public debate about the 14-day limit. He suggested it could be extended only slightly to allow scientists to study a key process in embryonic development called gastrulation. “We don’t need to take it beyond that, but just that few days [after 14] would be useful,” he said. “I think you could do a lot of valuable research. Other scientists are arguing for maybe just a couple more days, maybe a week. "Proposing to extend the 14-day limit might be opening a can of worms, but would it lead to Pandora’s box or a treasure chest of valuable information ? This is not a question to be left to scientists alone.” Religious figures expressed concern about how any new limit would be set. The Rev Dr Brendan McCarthy, the Church of England's national adviser on medical ethics, welcomed the scientists' calls for a debate. But he added: "The present limit recognises the importance of the emergence of the ‘primitive streak’ heralding the beginning of neural development. "If the beginnings of neural development do not provide a watershed for research, it is difficult to see where else the limit might be placed in order properly to respect the developing human embryo and foetus.” However Professor David Jones, director of the Roman Catholic Anscombe Bioethics Centre, described the 14-day limit as "completely arbitrary" and pointed out abortions were legal up to 24 weeks. He said it was likely that a scientist somewhere in the world would now go further than the Cambridge team. "In the future this may even be seen as the first step towards culturing babies outside the womb, where the child is not only conceived outside the protection of his or her mother's body but no such protection is even envisaged at any stage," said Professor Jones, who opposes any research on human embryos. "Human life and human pregnancy should not be separated in this way. On a technical level it is a scientific breakthrough but it is also a further step away from humane and ethical science and a further step towards an increasingly inhuman future." The Nuffield Council on Bioethics has already decided to hold a meeting of experts "to evaluate whether, after 25 years, there may be persuasive reasons to review this legal limit or whether the reasons for its introduction remain sound". "The Council has agreed to explore whether arguments for reviewing the 14-day limit are gaining force," it said, "in the expectation that any move to review this limit will be likely to generate significant moral controversy and would require careful analysis."

What may look like a smudge on the picture to some, is said to be a conspiracy cover-up by others. A Martian researcher discovered a black cube ‘orbiting’ the sun while analyzing an image sent back from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory. This isn’t the first time a mysterious square has been spotted near the massive ball of gas and some claim this is Nasa’s method for covering up alien spacecraft that get caught in the images. ‘This cube has been seen before off and on,’ explained Scott C. Waring of UFO Sightings Daily, on his blog. ‘The cube has been seen before off and on.’ ‘Sometimes it’s seen in three dimensions other times like this just two’. Warning stumbled upon this find on May 2 while looking at SOHO EIT 284, but while searching through Nasa’s images, the picture shown does not have a black cube. As he noted in the blog, the cube has been spotted on a few other pictures sent back from the satellite. In 2011, a similar ‘box’ was snapped floating around the top area of the sun and the same claim to cover up UFOs orbiting the ball of gas was presented. ‘For a cube to be missing from a photo either it was cut out by Nasa to hide something or… it is a cube flying in orbit around the sun?’, writes Waring. Waring then explained that scientists around the world have confirmed there are UFOs orbiting the sun that are much larger than our Earth. Although some just see a nick or smudge in the image, another alien hunters has evidence that supports Waring’s theory. On May 5, 2012, a YouTuber claimed to have spotted a UFO while watching video feed from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory. User ‘rob19791’ posted a video of a mysterious-looking object hovering near the sun The video zooms in on a pyramid-shaped object floating above the sun's surface. One day later, NASA shut down the spacecraft's video feed as it went into 'emergency Sun reacquisition mode.' 'This is a cover up to prevent us from seeing these things again. NASA must have seen this video and started making plans to change the way you and I are allowed to view it,' he said in a second video. 'I think this is proof that NASA are covering this up. 'NASA are clearly trying to stop us looking at the sun,' he added. All of the images and video seen by these two conspiracy theorists is a project between ESA and Nasa to learn more about the sun that launched in 1995. Solar and Heliospheric Observatory was created to answer there fundamental questions: What is the structure and dynamics of the solar interior, why does the solar corona exist and how is it heated to the extremely high temperature of about 1,000,000 degrees Kelvin and where is the solar wind produced and how is it accelerated? Researchers gather intelligence about the solar interior by exploring seismic waves produced in the turbulent outer shell of the sun, which appears as ripples on the surface. The satellite also provides an unprecedented breadth and depth of information about the sun, from its interior, through the hot atmosphere, to the solar wind and how it interacts with the interstellar medium.

What’s REALLY inside a pyramid: First 3D images created using cosmic particles show hidden tunnels inside mysterious structure

Team have studied cosmic particles collected inside Bent Pyramid

They show its internal structure and the shape of its second chamber

Particles pass through empty spaces are absorbed by harder surfaces

Same technology may help find tomb in Tutankhamun's burial chamber

By Ellie Zolfagharifard For Dailymail.com Published: 14:51 EST, 5 May 2016 | Updated: 10:50 EST, 6 May 2016

The pyramids of Egypt have held their secrets for more than 4,500 years. Now, Egyptian and foreign experts have begun unraveling their mysteries with the help of space particles. The team are using 'cosmic rays' to create maps that show the internal structures of these ancient wonders - and they say they could hold some surprises. Last week, archaeologists revealed the first results of their work involving the Bent pyramid, 25 miles south of Cairo. The 3D images show the internal chambers of the 4,600-year-old structure, as well as clearly revealing the shape of its second chamber. Located at the royal necropolis of Dahshur, the Bent pyramid was one of the earliest to be built under the Old Kingdom Pharaoh Sneferu. Mehdi Tayoubi, president of the Heritage Innovation Preservation Institute, said that plates installed inside the pyramid collected data on radiographic particles known as 'muons'. Muons rain down from the Earth's atmosphere. The particles pass through empty spaces but can be absorbed or deflected by harder surfaces. By studying particle accumulations, scientists may learn more about the construction of the pyramid It has two entrances, which opens onto two corridors leading to two burial chambers arranged one above the other. Some had suggested pharaoh Sneferu was buried inside the pyramid in an hidden chamber, but the latest scans have ruled out that possibility. 'From these plates, more than 10 millions of muon tracks were analysed,' Tayoubi, who is also co-director of the ScanPyramids mission told Discovery. 'We count the muons and according to their angular distribution we are able to reconstruct an image,' Tayoubi said. 'For the first time ever, the internal structure of a pyramid was revealed with muon particles. 'The images obtained clearly show the second chamber of the pyramid located roughly 60 feet above the lower one in which emulsions plates were installed,' he added. 'For the construction of the pyramids, there is no single theory that is 100 per cent proven or checked' They are all theories and hypotheses,' said Hany Helal, the institute's vice president. 'What we are trying to do with the new technology, we would like to either confirm or change or upgrade or modify the hypotheses that we have on how the pyramids were constructed,' he said. The Bent Pyramid in Dahshur, just outside Cairo, is distinguished by the bent slope of its sides. It is believed to have been ancient Egypt's first attempt to build a smooth-sided pyramid. The Scan Pyramids project, which announced in November thermal anomalies in the 4,500 year-old Khufu Pyramid in Giza, is coupling thermal technology with muons analysis to try to unlock secrets to the construction of several other ancient Egyptian pyramids. Tayoubi said the group plans to start preparations for muons testing in a month in Khufu, the largest of the three Giza pyramids, which is known internationally as Cheops. 'Even if we find one square meter void somewhere, it will bring new questions and hypotheses and maybe it will help solve the definitive questions,' said Tayoubi. The team will also be using infrared 3D scans and lasers to study the two pyramids in Giza and the two in Dashur. The same technology, they say, could also help find a possible hidden tomb in Tutankhamun's burial chamber that may be belong to Queen Nefertiti. Many previous missions have attempted to unravel the mysteries of the pyramids, but scientists have yet to come up with a concrete theory explaining how the structures were built. Khufu's pyramid, also known as the Great pyramid of Giza – the tallest of all the pyramids – was built by the son of Snefru, founder of the fourth dynasty (2,575-2,465 BC), and the Khafre's pyramid or Chephren was built by the son of Khufu. The two pyramids at Dahshur were built by Snefru. 'The idea is to find the solution to the mystery of the pyramids,' said Tayoubi. 'A similar attempt was made 30 years ago, but this is the first project at a global level using cutting-edge technology to look inside the pyramids,' he said. Project 'Scan Pyramids' is expected to last until the end of this year. Damati said the 'infra-red and muon' technologies that would be used to search the four pyramids could also be useful to look for a possible hidden chamber in King Tutankhamun's tomb, which may be the burial place of Queen Nefertiti. Archaeologists have never discovered the mummy of the legendary beauty, but renowned British archaeologist Nicholas Reeves said in a recent study that her tomb could be in a secret chamber adjoining Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of Kings at Luxor, southern Egypt. Reeves, who was in Luxor in September to probe his theory, believes one door of Tutankhamun's tomb could conceal the burial place of Nefertiti. Egypt has already approved using radars to search the boy king's tomb, which was found by British Egyptologist Howard Carter in 1922. Last year, Egypt's antiquities minister Mamdouh El-Damaty said scratching and markings on the northern and western walls are strikingly similar to those found by Howard Carter on the entrance of King Tut's tomb. El-Damaty was visiting Luxor with British Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves. Dr Reeves suggested that Tutankhamun, who died at the age of 19, may have been rushed into an outer chamber of what was originally the tomb of Queen Nefertiti. He said high-resolution images of King Tut's tomb 'revealed several very interesting features which look not at all natural. They feature like very straight lines which are 90 degrees to the ground, positioned so as to correspond with other features within the tomb.' These features are difficult to capture with the naked eye, he said. Reeves said the plastered walls could conceal two unexplored doorways, one of which perhaps leads to Nefertiti's tomb. He also argues that the design of the tomb suggests it was built for a queen, rather than a king. If Dr Reeves' theory is correct, it may resolve a number of oddities about Tutankhamun's burial chamber that have long baffled researchers. For instance, the treasures found within seem to have been placed there in a rush, and are largely second-hand. 'The implications are extraordinary,' he wrote. 'If digital appearance translates into physical reality, it seems we are now faced not merely with the prospect of a new, Tutankhamun-era store room to the west [but] that of Nefertiti herself, celebrated consort, co-regent, and eventual successor of Pharaoh Akhenaten.' Joyce Tyldesley, senior lecturer in Egyptology at the University of Manchester, told The Times that Dr Reeves's hypothesis may prove correct.

Update: U. S. Navy Flight Engineer Saw Silver Discs and Entrance

to Alleged E. T.and Human Collaboration Base in Antarctica

2015 by Linda Moulton Howe

“Talk among the flight crews was that there is a UFO base at South Pole and some of the crew heard talk from some of the scientists working at the Pole of E.T.s working with and interacting with the scientists at that air sampling camp/large ice hole.” - Brian, retired U. S. Navy Flight Engineer Update May 5, 2016 / Original January 30, 2015 Albuquerque, New Mexico - On January 2, 2015, I received the email below from a retired U. S. Navy Petty Officer First Class Flight Engineer, who asked me to only call him "Brian." His high strangeness experiences flying cargo and rescue in Antarctica were in the 1983 to 1997 time period and included several observations of aerial silver discs darting around over the Transantarctic Mountains. He and his crew also saw a big hole in the ice only about five to ten miles from the geographic South Pole (pink circle on map) that was supposed to be a No Fly Zone. But during an emergency medevac situation, they entered the No Fly Zone and saw what they were not supposed to see: an alleged entrance to a human and E. T. science research base created under the ice. Then at a camp near Marie Byrd Land, some dozen scientists disappeared for two weeks and when they re-appeared, Brian's flight crew got the assignment to pick them up. Brian says they would not talk and “their faces looked scared.” Brian and his flight crew received several orders at different times to not talk and were sternly told that they didn't see what they saw. But he was never asked to sign an official non-disclosure statement. So now that he's retired, he has decided to share what he has seen and experienced because he knows non-humans are working on this planet. etc. and the news story continues..

Almost 50,000 tonnes of dead salmon and sardines along with millions of dead clams off the coast of Chile as a result of red tides caused by El Niño

Friday, 6 May 2016

So far this year it is estimated that 40,000 tonnes of salmon and 8,000 tonnes of sardines have been thrown off the coast of Chile as a result of red tides caused by El Niño. A huge amount of dead salmon and sardines are accumulating on the Pacific coast of Chile since early this year due to the effect of climate phenomenon known as El Niño, reports Telesur. It is estimated that a total of 40,000 tons of Salmon in the region of Los Lagos, representing 12% of the annual production of salmon from Chile. This month a further 8,000 tonnes of sardines washed up in the mouth of the river Queule. The region of Los Lagos, Chile is currently affected by a the biggest "red tide" in its history. The algae bloom which has already killed thousands of tonnes of fish and now millions of molluscs (clams) are covering the beach. Thousands of Chilean fishermen have blocked roads with barricades in the region of Los Lagos, saying government efforts to mitigate the economic effects of a harmful algal bloom have been insufficient. For the last four weeks, the southern-central region of Los Lagos has been plagued by what scientists say is the biggest "red tide" in its history. The red tide - an algal bloom that turns the sea water red - is a common, naturally recurring phenomenon in southern Chile, though the extent of the current outbreak is unprecedented. Earlier this year hundreds of sea lions washed up dead in Chile: El-Ninõ was blamed. Last summer thousands of sea birds were found dead on beaches in Chile a week after 37 dead whales washed ashore Last winter more than 300 whales were found washed up in a remote inlet in Patagonia in southern Chile in one of the largest die-offs on record, researchers said. "It was an apocalyptic sight.

Hezbollah Accused of Stockpiling Chemical Weapons in Lebanon, Syria

Asharq Al-Awsat 1 day ago

Syrian opposition activists accused Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group of using chemical weapons again in collaboration with the Syrian regime in rebel-held areas. Abou Mohammed Al-Assi, a member of the Free Army’s military council, did not rule out Hezbollah’s possession of chemical arms because the regime owns such weapons. “It was proved that chemical (arms) were used in some neighborhoods of Aleppo and Ghouta, areas which have a clear Hezbollah presence,” Al-Assi told Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper. “It’s normal for the party to own chemical weapons because it is leading the battle alongside the regime in several areas,” he said. Although the Syrian regime has claimed that it has handed over all its chemical weapons, there is information that is has hidden some of the arms. A report carried by the American Stratfor global intelligence company has quoted eyewitnesses as saying that Hezbollah has had suspicious activities in the area of al-Qalamoun. According to satellite imagery shown by Stratfor Hezbollah has built up significant defensive positions near the Syrian town of Al-Qusair. It said the group intends to stockpile artillery there. Additionally, sources said there are as many as four separate munitions factories at the base. Stratfor’s sources have referred specifically to the presence of different types of Iranian ballistic missiles, including the Shabab-1, Shahab-2 and Fateh-110 . Military experts said that Hezbollah’s operations in Marj Al-Tall are also a clear indication that a chemical facility has been built under its management. Following its success in blockading the city of Al-Zabadani, Hezbollah also upgraded a huge tunnel network that links Lebanon with Syria through the eastern border. Hezbollah has resorted to Syria to build such unconventional facilities after it failed to do so in Lebanon as a result of the difficultly of the terrain. A high-ranking Syrian opposition member raised doubts about Hezbollah’s ability to own chemical weapons. Israel will not allow such arms to reach Hezbollah’s hands, he said. But the unnamed opposition member told Asharq Al-Awsat that this does not mean the party would not try to add such weapons to its arsenal. “The party and the regime have advanced smuggling networks between Lebanon and Syria. But the question remains whether they could evade Israeli monitoring,” he said. Asharq Al-Awsat Asharq Al-Awsat is the world’s premier pan-Arab daily newspaper, printed simultaneously each day on four continents in 14 cities. Launched in London in 1978, Asharq Al-Awsat has established itself as the decisive publication on pan-Arab and international affairs, offering its readers in-depth analysis and exclusive editorials, as well as the most comprehensive coverage of the entire Arab world.

Obama slaps 'Scarlet T' on Christian colleges

Feds now publicly 'shaming' institutions for following biblical principles

Published: 2 days ago Bob Unruh

The Department of Education, under the leadership of Barack Obama, whose pro-homosexual agenda has been unparalleled, has launched a website critics say is dedicated to the “shaming” of Christian colleges that follow biblical principles rather than a leftist social agenda. “It looks like the Department of Education got a new boss: the Human Rights Campaign,” wrote Family Research Council President Tony Perkins in a Washington Update commentary this week. Perkins, referring to the leading “gay”-rights group, was spotlighting what he called a “shame list” posted online by the Department of Education of colleges that have sought exemptions to Title IX requirements that provide special treatment to transgenders. Perkins points out that Congress approved an exemption to certain requirements for faith-based educational institutions well before Obama “started strong-arming the education system to adopt his radical views of ‘sexual orientation’ and ‘gender identity.'” In short, Obama tried to force schools to embrace “gender-free bathrooms and sports teams,” the commentary explains. Using Title IX as their premise, DOE officials are insisting that “no person … shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participating in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.” See what American education has become, in “Crimes of the Educators: How Utopians Are Using Government Schools to Destroy America’s Children.” There was a surge in requests for exemptions from colleges when Obama “decided to interpret” the law to require special accommodations for “transgenders,” he wrote.

Hamas welcomes Jeremy Corbyn's refusal to condemn Islamist group

By Michael Wilkinson, Political Correspondent 3 May 2016 • 2:29pm

Terror organisation Hamas has backed Jeremy Corbyn's stance on Israel as they say it is "a painful hit that the Zionist enemy received". The Islamist organisation also "welcomed" the Labour leader's vow to continue talking to the organisation he once called his "friends" despite pressure on him to denounce the group. Mr Corbyn refused to denounce the groups in the wake of calls from Jewish leaders, the Israeli Ambassador and members of his own party to distance himself from those with anti-Semitic views. He has previously referred to the organisations as "friends", despite both being declared terrorist groups by the EU and America. Taher A-Nunu, a spokesman and senior Hamas official, said Mr Corbyn’s refusal to disavow talks with Hamas shows that the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sactions (BDS) campaign is winning. Mr Al-Nunu told Breitbart Jerusalem: "We welcome the declaration of the Labour chairman and see his engagement as a very important statement that is also a painful hit that the Zionist enemy received. It comes as part of the international boycott campaign that the enemy (Israel) is suffering from. This campaign is succeeding on both the economic and political levels and it comes at a moment that the enemy is facing difficulties in justifying its crimes against the Palestinian people." He said that Mr Corbyn's comments would show that Hamas is not a terrorist group. "We consider the statements of the Labour leader to be an important message to people in Western countries that Hamas is not and will not be considered a terrorist group and our struggle is reduced to the borders of occupied Palestine," the spokesman said. Mr Al-Nunu also rounded on those seeking to draw Mr Corbyn into Labour's ongoing anti-Semitic crisis. He said the “Zionist campaign to define Labour party leaders as anti-Semitic” is a “desperate move that reflects the weakness and confusion of the Zionist entity.” Faced with calls to reject both Hamas and Hezbollah on Sunday night, Mr Corbyn's spokesman issued a statement which read: "Jeremy Corbyn has been a longstanding supporter of Palestinian rights and the pursuit of peace and justice in the Middle East through dialogue and negotiation. "He has met many people with whom he profoundly disagrees in order to promote peace and reconciliation processes, including in South Africa, Latin American, Ireland and the Middle East. "He believes it is essential to speak to people with whom there is disagreement, particularly when they have large-scale support or democratic mandates. "Simply talking to people who agree with you won’t help achieve justice or peace." Israeli ambassador Mark Regev said on Sunday: "You’ve had too many people on the progressive side of politics who have embraced Hamas and Hezbollah. "Both of them are anti-Semitic organisations, you just have to read Hamas’ charter and it’s like chapters straight out of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. "I’d ask the following question: if you’re progressive, you’re embracing an organisation which is homophobic, which is misogynistic, which is openly anti-Semitic, what’s progressive about that?" Ambassador Regev added that the left is "in denial" about the scale of the problem, while a spokesman for the Board Of Deputies of British Jews said it has been "shocked and dismayed" at a refusal to accept problems of antisemitism in the party and called on Mr Corbyn to display "clarity about people and groups with whom it is not appropriate to share panels."

After presiding over bin Laden raid, CIA chief in Pakistan came home suspecting he was poisoned by ISI

By Greg Miller May 5 at 12:56 PM

Two months after Osama bin Laden was killed, the CIA’s top operative in Pakistan was pulled out of the country in an abrupt move vaguely attributed to health concerns and his strained relationship with Islamabad. In reality, the CIA station chief was so violently ill that he was often doubled over in pain, current and former U.S. officials said. Trips out of the country for treatment proved futile. And the cause of his ailment was so mysterious, the officials said, that both he and the agency began to suspect that he had been poisoned. Mark Kelton retired from the CIA, and his health has recovered after he had abdominal surgery. But agency officials continue to think that it is plausible — if not provable — that Kelton’s sudden illness was somehow orchestrated by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency, known as the ISI. The disclosure is a disturbing postscript to the sequence of events surrounding the bin Laden operation five years ago and adds new intrigue to a counterterrorism partnership that has often been consumed by conspiracy theories. That 2011 time frame was marked by extraordinary turbulence in the United States’ relationship with Pakistan, a wary alliance that was close to collapse when U.S. Navy SEALs descended on the al-Qaeda leader’s compound in Abbottabad. Even if the poisoning suspicion is groundless, the idea that the CIA and its station chief considered the ISI capable of such an act suggests that the breakdown in trust was even worse than widely assumed. [CIA tweets U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden — five years later] Kelton, 59, declined multiple requests for an interview, but in a brief exchange by phone he said that the cause of his illness “was never clarified,” and he added that he was not the first to suspect that he had been poisoned. “The gen­esis for the thoughts about that didn’t originate with me,” he said. In the conversation, Kelton declined to answer questions about his illness or his tenure in Pakistan. “I’d rather let that whole sad episode lie,” he said. “I’m very, very proud of the people I worked with who did amazing things for their country at a very difficult time. When the true story is told, the country will be very proud of them.” U.S. officials acknowledged that the CIA never saw proof that Kelton was poisoned or confronted Pakistan with that charge. CIA spokesman Dean Boyd said that privacy considerations “limit what we can say about any individual cases but we have uncovered no evidence that Pakistani authorities poisoned a U.S. official serving in Pakistan.” Even so, current and former U.S. intelligence officials said that the ISI has been linked to numerous plots against journalists, diplomats and other perceived adversaries and that the spy agency’s animosity toward Kelton was intense. Officials said the ISI chief at the time, Ahmed Shuja Pasha, routinely refused to speak with Kelton or even utter his name, referring to the dour CIA station chief as “the cadaver.” Tensions from the start Although Kelton’s tenure lasted only seven months, it was in many ways a parade of humiliation for his hosts. Within days of Kelton’s arrival, one of his subordinates, CIA contractor Raymond Davis, was involved in a Jason Bourne-style shootout in Lahore. Kelton signed off on dozens of drone strikes that infuriated the Pakistanis. He also presided over the final preparations for the assault in Abbottabad that killed bin Laden and, to many, exposed Pakistan’s security agencies as incompetent. The CIA asked that Kelton not be identified by his full name. But since retiring, Kelton has posted his name and portions of his CIA résumé on publicly accessible Websites. He has not disclosed his assignment in Pakistan, but other key figures associated with the bin Laden operation have come forward over the past five years or have been publicly identified. Pakistan dismissed the allegations against the ISI. “Obviously the story is fictional, not worthy of comment,” said Pakistan Embassy spokesman Nadeem Hotiana. “We reject the insinuations implied in the allegations.” U.S. officials emphasized that the relationship with Pakistan had been deteriorating for years before Kelton arrived in Islamabad. By 2009, officials said, U.S. intelligence agencies had evidence that the ISI was complicit in the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, suspected the ISI of staging raids to disguise the deaths of militants killed in custody and were convinced that the ISI routinely tipped off its proxies when they were about to be struck by CIA drones. The strain intensified in 2010 when the CIA sharply escalated the pace of its drone campaign and Pasha was named in a Mumbai-attack-related lawsuit in the United States. In apparent retaliation, a suit filed in Pakistan by alleged victims of a drone strike revealed the name of the CIA’s then-station chief, Jonathan Bank. Concerned for Bank’s safety, the CIA employed a modest ruse to get him out of the country, former officials said. As then-CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell finished a series of scheduled meetings in Islamabad, Bank escorted his boss to a waiting agency plane. Then, without any notice to Pakistani authorities and in violation of protocol, Bank stayed aboard as the flight crew closed the door. The next station chief would face a doubly daunting assignment — managing the toxic relationship with the ISI while secretly pursuing the most promising lead in more than a decade on bin Laden’s whereabouts. Kelton, known as having an acerbic personality, was not an obvious candidate for the role. He had little experience with counterterrorism operations and had spent much of his career in traditional Cold War outposts, including Moscow, where the CIA remained locked in a decades-long duel with the KGB and its successor organization. [How the CIA ran a ‘billion dollar spy’ in Moscow] But given the increasingly tense atmosphere in Islamabad, then-CIA Director Leon Panetta and others concluded that years of engaging in adversarial espionage could be an asset. “They thought his Moscow experience was a very good credential,” said a former senior CIA official who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss agency operations and personnel. Former U.S. officials who worked alongside Kelton said he began preaching “Moscow Rules” upon arrival, meaning that the ISI should be treated as a determined foe rather than a problematic partner. The inevitable clash came sooner than either side expected. Less than 48 hours after Kelton’s arrival in Islamabad, Davis, the CIA contractor, was arrested after opening fire on two armed Pakistani men accused of trying to rob him. In Davis’s car, authorities found a conspicuous collection of spy gear, reportedly including a disguise kit, an infrared flashlight and a camera. [CIA’s Global Response Staff emerges from the shadows] Some in the U.S. Embassy argued that lying about Davis would only insult the Pakistanis, who might be persuaded to release him if the agency acknowledged the blunder. But Kelton and his superiors at headquarters were adamantly opposed. “Don’t tell them anything,” Kelton told then-U.S. Ambassador Cameron Munter, according to former officials familiar with the exchange. The stonewalling continued for weeks — with President Obama demanding the release of “our diplomat” — until Munter secured permission to deal with Pasha directly and admit Davis’s ties to the CIA. Davis was released March 16 after a secret court proceeding in which the families of those killed were paid $2.4 million. The CIA’s drones, which had gone dormant during much of Davis’s captivity, roared back to life the next day, carrying out a strike that killed at least 40 people at a tribal council meeting in Datta Khel. Pasha was livid, sending word to Munter that the strike amounted to a “kick in the teeth” after the Davis deal was arranged. Pasha’s relationship with Kelton never recovered, and the two rarely spoke in the ensuing months. In a recent interview, Munter described 2011 as “by far my most difficult year in the Foreign Service.” Attempts to reach Pasha through the Pakistan Embassy in the United States were unsuccessful. Bin Laden raid On the first night in May, as midnight approached in Pakistan, Kelton, Munter and a senior U.S. military official gathered in a secure CIA room in the embassy to watch transmissions from a stealth drone circling over Abbottabad as the bin Laden raid began. The trio had made secret preparations for possible Pakistani reprisals, officials said, drafting evacuation plans that called for employees at scattered U.S. diplomatic sites to flee across the border into India or be scooped up by the USS Carl Vinson from the Karachi shore. Those at the embassy would have to hunker down. At first, Pakistan seemed paralyzed by the raid. But amid mounting public anger and recriminations from abroad — Panetta accused Islamabad of being inept or complicit in hiding bin Laden — senior Pakistani officials began to lash out. A week after bin Laden’s death, a story in the Pakistani press said that Pasha had summoned the CIA station chief to a meeting and railed at him for keeping the bin Laden operation a secret. The story contained a garbled version of Kelton’s name, identifying him as “Mark Carlton.” After the Bank episode, it was the second time in six months that the CIA’s top operative in Pakistan had been outed, a major breach of the unwritten rules of espionage. But this time the agency left Kelton in place even as emerging details about the raid — including the existence of a CIA safe house in Abbottabad and the agency’s use of a Pakistani doctor to try to get DNA samples from residents of bin Laden’s house — compounded Pakistan’s resentment. Amid the fallout, Kelton began to experience stomach pain. At first he assumed he had come down with the sort of digestive ailment that afflicts many Westerners in Pakistan, former U.S. officials said. But as the symptoms worsened, he began to miss days of work and left the country several times for treatment. By July, Kelton was in what one official described as a “severe medical crisis.” Less than seven months after arriving for a tour that was supposed to last at least two years, Kelton told headquarters that he could no longer function in the job. Some of Kelton’s colleagues, including several who were based in Pakistan, remain skeptical that the ISI would risk Pakistan’s multibillion-dollar dependency on the United States by poisoning a high-ranking U.S. official. Instead, skeptics believe that Kelton’s Moscow mind-set saw conspiracy in a condition more likely caused by bad food or the pressure of the job. “Stress does funny things to the body,” said one former senior agency official who added that “there is zero evidence” Kelton was poisoned. The agency never mounted a full investigation to determine whether Kelton was poisoned, officials said, but took his suspicion seriously enough to search its intelligence files for any indication that Kelton had been targeted. Back in the United States, Kelton took months to recover and ended up having abdominal surgery. Kelton acknowledged that he had the procedure but declined to discuss its nature. After recovering, he was named deputy director for counterintelligence, a job that put him in charge of protecting the agency from foreign spy services. Since retiring last year, Kelton has written articles for a national-security-related website called the Cipher Brief, including a piece about the Kremlin’s alleged role in the 2006 assassination of a former Russian intelligence operative who was poisoned in London with a lethal dose of radioactive polonium. In the article, which argues that Russian President Vladi­mir Putin was complicit in the attack, Kelton quotes a line from a 1939 espionage novel: “The important thing to know about an assassination is not who fired the shot, but who paid for the bullet.” Julie Tate contributed to this report.

Obama Gives 58 Drug Offenders Get-Out-Of Jail-Free Cards

Casey Harper 5:26 PM 05/05/2016

President Barack Obama announced Thursday he was granting clemency to 58 drug offenders. The White House said the action bring’s Obama’s total to 306 commutations, more than the last six presidents combined. “As a country, we have to make sure that those who take responsibility for their mistakes are able to transition back to their communities,” Obama wrote in a blog post on Medium. “It’s the right thing to do. It’s the smart thing to do. And it’s something I will keep working to do as long as I hold this office.” Most of the recipients were nonviolent drug dealers. Obama has prioritized reducing the prison population and reforming sentencing for drug criminals. “Over the past year and a half, I have personally reviewed hundreds of commutation applications,” Families Against Mandatory Minimums General Counsel Mary Price said in a statement. “I am pleased by today’s news but I know that for every prisoner whose sentence the president commuted today, there are a hundred more who are equally worthy of his support. I think the president knows that too. I remain hopeful that he will grant clemency to all those who deserve a second chance.” In his blog post, Obama pushed for Congress to enact sentencing reform. “While I will continue to review clemency applications, only Congress can bring about the lasting changes we need to federal sentencing,” he wrote. “That is why I am encouraged by the bipartisan efforts in Congress to reform federal sentencing laws, particularly on overly harsh mandatory minimum sentences for nonviolent drug offenses. Because it just doesn’t make sense to require a nonviolent drug offender to serve 20 years, or in some cases, life, in prison. An excessive punishment like that doesn’t fit the crime. It’s not serving taxpayers, and it’s not making us safer.” Send tips to casey@dailycallernewsfoundation.org . Follow Casey on Twitter and like him on Facebook.

Hacker Says He Easily Accessed Hillary Clinton's Private Email Server

The hacker, who goes by Guccifer, said it wasn't very difficult.

By Rachel Dicker | Associate Editor, Social Media May 5, 2016, at 12:31 p.m.

Hillary Clinton has been hounded for her email practices while she was secretary of state. Now, the hacker thought to have first exposed her use of a private email address has claimed he was able to infiltrate her private server repeatedly and easily. Marcel Lehel Lazar, a Romanian hacker who goes by "Guccifer," told Fox News from a Virginia jail where he's being held that "it was easy ... easy for me, for everybody" to hack into Clinton's server. He said he got into the server "like twice," and that "there were … up to 10, like, IPs from other parts of the world" that had accessed the server, indicating that other hackers may have gotten in as well. In a separate interview with NBC News, Guccifer said Clinton's server "was like an open orchid on the Internet." Guccifer said he breached Clinton's private email server after hacking into Sidney Blumenthal's account. Blumenthal is a longtime confidant of both Hillary and Bill Clinton. "It is unfathomable that [Guccifer] would have gained access to her emails and not leaked them the way he did to his other victims," the Clinton campaign wrote in a statement. "There is absolutely no basis to believe the claims made by this criminal from his prison cell." Additionally, the Clinton campaign said, "it has been reported that security logs from Secretary Clinton's email server do not show any evidence of foreign hacking." The Hill reports that Guccifer was "recently extradited to the United States and is facing other cybercrime-related charges."

Is Defeating Hillary More Important Than Electing Trump?

By Dave Hodges

Bill Clinton had a nickname when he was President and it was, “Slick Willie”, which was used to describe his ability to slip off the hook when he was accused of one of his many legal transgressions from which he was never really held accountable. Hillary is proving to be much more slick than Bill could ever be. She makes Richard Nixon look honest. It is hard to tell if she is running harder, for the Presidency, or is she running harder to get away from pending charges of 36,000 national security (email) violations as well as more serious charges related to treason and an accomplice to murder. It is my position that it is more important to keep Hillary out of the White House than it is for Donald Trump to get elected. If something were to happen to Trump, I would still be doing what I am doing because Clinton is so very dangerous to America and I am in good company with my belief on this matter. Ron Paul Fears Hillary Ron Paul fears a Clinton presidency more than anything else. Ron Paul called Hillary Clinton pro-Fed and pro-War, and these two traits may represent her strong points. I fear Hillary Clinton on many fronts, however, I know that if she secures the White House people like me are going to be taking a vacation. Do you remember the “Everyone Should Take a Fun Camp Vacation”? Some may take Clinton’s “re-education” remarks couple with her thinly veiled FEMA camp remarks to be nothing but Hyperbole, however, I take these threats personally and seriously. For anyone who has studied this sociopath, we all know she is not joking and will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Just ask vince Foster. Will the FBI Begin Acting Like Men? As the FBI closes in on Hillary and the case appears strong enough to launch a grand jury investigation in Hillary’s illegal activities, there are two road blocks to prosecution, namely, President Obama and Attorney General Loretta Lynch. Obama can interfere with the ongoing FBI investigation by keeping FBI officials away from key areas related to Clinton’s misdeeds. Lynch can simply refuse to convene a grand jury until after the “election”, if it is indeed actually going to be held. Regardless, Clinton is free to run for President in the present environment because justice cannot be served. Despite the stranglehold that Obama and Lynch hold on the future of Hillary Clinton’s future residence, (i.e. 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue or Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary), the American people and the journalists in the Independent Media can have an impact on the actions of Obama and Lynch. Turning the Worm The mainstream media is being neutered, there are several polls which indicate that they carry about a 6% trust factor with the American people. Nature hates a vacuum and this is why the Independent Media is seeing many former MSM devotees defecting to our news sites. We have an inspired and captive audience. If the American people could generate enough heat in this election season, rank and file members of Congress and a third of the Senate can be made to care about the continuing obfuscation of justice when it comes to prosecuting Clinton, legal action could be taken against Obama and Lynch. If there is a populist movement to go after Hillary for legal transgressions, Obama and Lynch may have to reconsider their joint position of ignoring justice. Ultimately, Obama could be prosecuted for obstruction of justice if he interferes in the FBI investigation and Lynch could face a similar fate. By relentlessly attacking Hillary for her illegal activities and constantly exposing the Obama/Lynch cover up, the two may let nature takes its course. Of course, Obama will likely pardon Clinton, but at least she would not be the President. Further, The Independent Media must act quickly because if she is allowed to emerge from the Democratic Convention as the nominee, she may get elected prior to law catching up to her. Then, the American people will be stuck with her choice of Vice-President, whomever that may be. And to those of you who are wondering why a soundly defeated Bernie Sanders is still running, he is hoping that Hillary will be indicted in the next 90 days and by default he will become the nominee. The New Media Needs to keep the Clinton Criminality In the Public’s Eye every Single Day From my personal perspective, it is more important that Hillary Clinton not become the President, more so, than securing the White House for Trump. By discussing the reasons why the number one objective should be to keep Clinton out of the White House, I am making my contribution as to why this person must be stopped. And the best way to do that is by exposing her criminal past. Here is a brief snippets as to her sociopathic personality coupled with her no boundaries approach to getting her way. The ongoing email scandal should be enough, on its own to knock out Clinton. I have previously published the fact that Aaron Klein was able to obtain several emails, before the release was shut down, which showed that Clinton was using her private server to broadcast the location and travel itinerary of Ambassador Stevens. Even though the emails began a full year before Benghazi, they establish a pattern of broadcasting the whereabouts of a senior government official (illegal), the use of a private computer to broadcast these movements and the original material originated from the State Department (felony). It is difficult to believe that a deeper investigation would reveal that Clinton “set up” Stevens. He was involved in Libyan regime change, gun running and drug running to support obtaining guns for terrorists in Syria who were trying to overthrow Assad in Syria. And all of this was taking place in right before the general election in 2012. The email transgressions are enough to send Clinton to prison for life. The rest, as they say is just gravy. Conclusion This is the first of Clinton’s transgressions that I will be publishing in an attempt to bring the heat on tho Hillary. We must make the noise so deafening that she cannot stay in the race. And, of course, keep supporting Trump.

NWO Warns Of 'Terrible News' For America And The World - Donald Trump NWO 'Enemy Number 1' - False Flag Warning Into 2017 As NWO Panics

May 6, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

Back on October 9th of 2015, ANP published a story in which we asked if the mysterious card seen (below left) from the 'Illuminati Card Game' hinted at an upcoming political assassination attempt upon Donald Trump, who was then only ahead in the polls and considered by most Republican insiders to be way too far outside of the mainstream to have a chance at the nomination. ANP readers immediately noticed the resemblance of the card to Donald Trump. The final video below looks at the interesting 'coincidences' between the cards from the 'illuminati card game,' and the 'enough is enough' card in particular, and events that have unfolded in real life. Now nearly 7 months later, Trump has presumably wrapped up the Republican nomination with all remaining foes dropping out of the race, leaving him the last-man standing and seemingly in the position to help America 'overthrow' the 'New World Order' and the globalism that he recently warned us about that is reeking havoc upon Americans jobs, our national sovereignty and certainly our security with a revolving door into the country now wide open. A brand new story from the 'nwo-tied' The Economist magazine today helps to tell this story from an 'elite' point of view. Called "Fear Trumps Hope" with a subtitle of "Donald Trump is going to be the Republican candidate for the presidency. This is terrible news for Republicans, America and the world", it's easy to see why the NWO has Trump labeled as their 'enemy #1' and as we learn in the newly released videos below, will likely do ANYTHING at all to stop him and his plans for an "America Great Again". In turn, The Economist story also tells us that Trump is thinking about getting the US out of the United Nations, great news for anyone paying attention to what the globalists have planned for America including disarmament and the gutting of the 2nd Amendment and global government with a loss of national sovereignty and rapidly dwindling rights for Americans with no Constitutional guarantees. As former Clinton aide Larry Nichols tells Greg Hunter in this new story on USAWatchdog, a 'silent coup' led by FEMA is beginning to take over America at this very moment that seeks to install Barack Obama as 'king'. With only a general election now standing in between Trump and the White House, what else does the 'new world order' have planned for America? What the globalists call 'terrible news' is great news to most 'awake' Americans! Why the disconnect? It's now quite clear, only Donald Trump can stop their plans for a 'new world order'. What will they do to stop him? As Susan Duclos wrote in a recent story soon after Trump had seemingly guaranteed the nomination, do we really expect the 'elite' to give up power as simply as that? While the 'nwo' still has a donkey in the race in the person of Hillary Clinton, it's becoming more and more clear that Trump will absolutely destroy Hillary if she is the last donkey standing in the Democratic race, a prospect still not guaranteed with a possible indictment in her future and Sanders supporters threatening to vote for #AnybodyButHillary, even Donald Trump. Even the Washington Post sees the writing on the wall for Shill. With Hillary quite possibly the only thing standing between Donald Trump and the White House and a 'new world order' and her campaign in freefall while the Trump juggernaut surges onward, gaining millions of supporters along the way who realize if it's between Hillary and 'the Donald', it's a no-brainer, more and more people are warning of a major 'false flag' event of some sort between now and the election as the only way to possibly stop Trump as heard in the videos below. Back in March we told you that we have 'reached the rubicon crossing' with many 'Republican elitists' turning against Trump while promising to vote for Hillary instead. We continue to see who's still lining up against Trump, including two former Republican presidents in the Bush father and son combo who recently stated that they wouldn't be endorsing Trump, as a very good sign that Trump won't be letting America down like our last 4 'new world order' bound presidents have. In the 1st two videos below from Alex Jones over at Infowars and Mike Adams from Natural News and Trump.News, we hear from two alternative media personalities who have the same gut feeling that we do here at ANP, the NWO will do ANYTHING at all to stay in power and control, even if that means completely tearing America down and putting the final stake within our collective hearts. Whether via a 'Kennedy-style' assassination attempt, massive riots that force the cancelling of the election, EMP, nuclear war, economic collapse or something else totally, we believe that Americans need to stay dilligent through 2017 as absolutely anything is possible and there is no doubt that the NWO will do anything at all to bring us down. As we learn in the 3rd video below, "we're facing the most evil people the world has ever seen."

Avoid these foods from China: they are filled with plastic, pesticides and cancer-causing chemicals

Friday, May 06, 2016 by: J. D. Heyes

(NaturalNews) Generally speaking, quality control and employee health are not issues that Chinese industry or the Chinese government are overly concerned about, especially in comparison to U.S. and European standards. But there are some foods and products you should definitely avoid completely if they are produced by the Asian giant. That said, a lot of food consumed throughout North America and Europe is nevertheless imported from China, but that comes at an additional cost over and above the price on the products. The food awareness site, Why Dont You Try This, reported that some "food" companies in China were mass-producing fake rice made from plastic, which of course can cause serious digestive issues (where is our Federal Trade Commission, by the way?), and may even be fatal if consumed daily. The site also reported on 10 other foods made in China, which have serious contamination and health problems, and should be avoided at all times: Tilapia: An astounding 80 percent of tilapia, a whitefish that is sold in the U.S., comes from China. These fish are bottom feeders anyway, and eat nearly anything. With so much water pollution in China, eating anything raised in contaminated water would not be safe, of course. In addition, one study says that tilapia is less healthy than bacon, the site reported. Cod: Another popular whitefish in the U.S., about 50 percent of cod consumed in America comes from China. Again, there is the water pollution and feeding issue; and what's more, there are not many restrictions in China for exporting these kinds of products. Apple juice: Again, about half of all apple juice sold in America comes from China (because it's cheaper, supposedly). Chinese farmers are known to use harmful (to humans and the environment) herbicides on the food they grow, and this even includes herbicides that the government has banned (so they must be bad). Your best bet here is to make your own apple juice at home from locally grown organic crops. Processed mushrooms: More than one-third of the processed mushrooms sitting on grocery shelves in the U.S. – 34 percent – come from China. Like the apples, it's hard to tell where and how the mushrooms are grown. To be safe, buy local, organic mushrooms, or buy a trusted American or Canadian brand. Garlic: An alarming 31 percent of garlic in American grocery stores come from China, and these are grown using herbicides containing, mainly, methyl bromide. That's just not safe. Chicken: In 2013, the website noted, the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture approved the sale of Chinese chicken in the U.S. (as if there isn't enough chicken grown domestically). As with fish, the manner in which Chinese chickens are fed is highly questionable – and unsafe. China is also often plagued with viruses like the avian flu and other food-borne illnesses. Plastic rice: This one is hard to imagine since rice is a staple in Asia. However, major amounts of fake rice have been seized by authorities in China, and reports say that the product is actually a mixture of potatoes combined with synthetic resin. The goal, of course, is to make money; scam artists have been imitating a popular form of Chinese rice known as "Wuchang," a rice that remains hard after boiling. But long-term consumption of this food can cause cancer, the website noted. Black pepper (mud): One vendor in China was caught selling mud as "black pepper." This is a local problem, but you never know. Industrial salt: Like pepper-mud, this, too, is a localized problem, but it seems as though industrial salt is making its way to Chinese tables. But in reality, any salt from China could contain an industrial mix, which can contribute to high blood pressure and an added risk of heart attack and stroke. NaturalNews editor Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, and author of the upcoming book, Food Forensics, is well aware of the cesspool that is Chinese food production. Check out his February 2013 report.

Google Searches for “Chemtrails” Skyrocketed Last Month, Highest Ever

By Cassius Kamarampi

In April 2016, the Google searches for “chemtrails” reached a higher point than we’ve ever seen. Supporting the idea that people are researching chemtrails more frequently because they are seeing them more frequently, there seem to be seasonal peaks in the search statistics. You can test it for yourself at Google Trends here. From this we might be able to infer that geoengineering activity took place in spring or winter for the last several years. The peaks of Google search activity for “geoengineering” occurred at many of the same points as for “chemtrails.” And here are the results for “geoengineering chemtrails.” You can’t handle the truth about vaccines (Ad) Clifford Carnicom’s 2005 documentary Aerosol Crimes must have been a contribution to the first two spikes. As we pointed out in “The Geoengineering Escalation of 2016,” we can measure and track geoengineering activity, and we should grip onto that and use that as something we can do about this. Let’s stay active. We recommend taking pictures of the trails at every single opportunity: track them, make observations, communicate with people and let’s figure out how to deal with this threat to our health and prosperity as the free human beings we should be. Please share this with as many people as possible. Image Credit: David Dees This article (Google Searches for “Chemtrails” Skyrocketed Last Month, Highest Ever) is free and open source.

The Next Employment Crisis Is Here: Job Cuts At U.S. Companies Jump 35 Percent In April

By Michael Snyder, on May 5th, 2016

Should we be alarmed that the number of job cuts announced by large U.S. companies was 35 percent higher in April than it was in March? This is definitely a case where the trend is not our friend. According to Challenger, Gray & Christmas, U.S. firms announced 65,141 job cuts during April, which represented a massive 35 percent increase over the previous month. And so far this year overall, job cut announcements are running 24 percent higher than for the exact same period in 2015. Meanwhile, on Thursday we learned that initial claims for unemployment benefits shot up dramatically last week. In fact, the jump of 17,000 was the largest increase that we have seen in over a year. Of course the U.S. economy has been slowing down for quite a while now, and many have been wondering when we would begin to see that slowdown reflected in the employment numbers. Well, that day has now arrived. At this point, U.S. firms are laying off people at a rate that we have not seen since the last financial crisis. Here is what Zero Hedge had to say about these latest numbers… While one can debate the veracity of the BLS’ seasonally adjusted data, one thing is certain: when a company announces it will layoff thousands, it will. So for all those who suggest that all is well with the US jobs picture based on initial claims reports, here is the latest report from Challenger according to which the pace of downsizing increased in April jumped by 35% to 65,141 during the month of April, from the 48,207 layoff announcements in March. Looking further back, in the first four months of 2016, employers have announced a total of 250,061 planned job cuts, up 24% from the 201,796 job cuts tracked during the same period a year ago. This represents the highest January-April total since 2009, when the opening four months of the year saw 695,100 job cuts in the aftermath of the biggest financial crisis in modern history. So what is causing this? Why are firms laying off so many people all of a sudden? My readers are very well aware of the pain that the energy industry is experiencing at the moment, but surprisingly it was not the energy industry that announced the most job cuts in April… Computer firms announced 16,923 job cuts during the month; the highest total among all industries. That total includes 12,000 from chipmaker Intel, which is shifting away from the traditional desktop and laptop market and toward the mobile market. To date, computer firms have announced 33,925 job cuts, up 262 percent from a year ago, when job cuts in the sector totaled just 9,368 through the first four months of the year. Yes, the U.S. energy industry has lost well over 100,000 good paying jobs since the beginning of last year, but the downturn is so much broader than that. All over America corporate earnings are down, and when earnings fall it is inevitable that layoffs will follow. As I have written about previously, earnings for companies listed on the S&P 500 have fallen a total of 18.5 percent from their peak in late 2014, and it was being projected that corporate earnings overall would be down 8.5 percent for the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period a year ago. And in the chart that I have posted below, you can see that corporate profits after tax have been falling precipitously since peaking in mid-2015… As this new economic downturn intensifies, the layoffs will accelerate. In plain English, that means that a whole lot more people will be losing their jobs. Unfortunately, a very large percentage of Americans didn’t learn anything from the last crisis and are living on the financial edge. In fact, the Federal Reserve says that 47 percent of all Americans cannot even pay an unexpected $400 emergency room bill without borrowing the money or selling something. So just like back in 2008, we are going to see huge numbers of people unable to pay their bills when they lose their jobs. Foreclosures are going to skyrocket, and lots and lots of families are going to be put out into the street. This is why I have been preaching the importance of having an emergency fund for years. It is absolutely imperative to have an emergency fund that can cover your bills for at least six months in the event that there is a job loss or some other sort of major disaster strikes. If you have not done this already, you are probably already too late. The cold, hard reality of the matter is that it would take most families quite a while to save up a six month emergency fund if they are starting from zero. So if you are in this position and you lose your job, you may have to move in with family or friends when your money runs out. I don’t mean to be cold, but this is the situation that we are facing. The next employment crisis is already here, and it is going to get much, much worse. No matter who becomes “the next president”, job cuts are going to accelerate and good jobs are going to become exceedingly difficult to find. I am certainly not advocating that anyone give up. If you still have a good job for the moment, tighten your belt and use this time to feverishly prepare the very best that you can. Sadly, tens of millions of Americans believed that this bubble of false prosperity would keep on rolling, and so they wasted immense amounts of precious time and resources. Now the day of reckoning is here, and vast numbers of our fellow citizens are going to discover the horror of being unprepared.

P.J. O’Rourke: ‘Even Bernie Sanders hasn’t come up with anything this ridiculous’

From P.J. O’Rourke in Stansberry Digest:

Central banks are not where I usually go for comedy. But negative interest rates are hilarious. Banks want to pay you to borrow money from them. Even Bernie Sanders hasn’t come up with anything this ridiculous. It’s as if you’re walking down a dark street and a mugger steps out of an alley, holds a gun to your head, and demands that you take his wallet, iPhone, and car keys. Except you aren’t laughing. Somebody’s still holding a gun to your head – no matter what he’s telling you to do. It must be some kind of rip-off. And it is. Central banks don’t really want to pay you to borrow their money. What they want is for you to pay a fee for lending your money to them. You make a deposit in a bank. The deposit is a loan to the bank. Your deposit earns negative interest. When the bank repays your loan – that is, when you withdraw your deposit – you get back less than you put in. We’re all familiar with this business transaction. At my house, I call it “loaning money to my daughter.” It’s a brilliant, can’t-lose business model for banks. The only problem is, it’s insane. No rational bank customer would willingly accept negative interest rates. (Except, me, maybe, in the very unlikely case that my 16-year-old daughter becomes chair of the Federal Reserve.) Whenever you encounter a business model that’s insane, you can be sure that government is involved. Government is the one part of existence that doesn’t take place in real life. Government can do whatever it likes. Government can pass a law requiring every business to provide each of its employees with a unicorn, a flying pony, and a candy-flavored rainbow. If you don’t think so, you haven’t read all 1,190 pages of the Affordable Care Act. Negative interest rates are a political policy, of course. Who else but politicians would have an idea this crazy? The mugger who steps out of an alley, holds a gun to your head, and demands that you take his wallet – that mugger is government. Why is government acting crazy? Well, what makes insanity truly insane is that it always follows a certain comical logic. For example, let’s say you get a crazy idea that the CIA is broadcasting brain-control waves from fire hydrants. If you’re truly insane, you will drive around town smashing your car bumper into fire hydrants – it’s only logical. The crazy idea that government has is “debt is good.” Debt will stimulate the economy. Debt will prod capital investment. Debt will spur productivity. Debt will fuel trade. Debt will increase consumer spending. Debt will raise the price of assets. Everything is possible with the miracle of debt. Debt is good. Government should encourage good things. Debt is so good that government will subsidize it. Government will pay you to go into debt. Like I said, there’s a certain comical logic to it. Negative interest rates also penalize you for having cash – that is, penalize you for not going into debt. Negative interest rates are a way for central banks to suck cash out of an economy that has been swamped with cash by those same central banks. This is like finding out that your Roto-Rooter man has a night job flooding your basement. This is also where my head is about to explode… Government has been printing cash with wild abandon since the 2008 fiscal crisis. And that cash is debt. Currency is nothing but a promissory note issued by government and backed by… um, government promises. (Consult American Indians for a further discussion of government promises.) The crazy idea that government used to have was “printing cash is good.” Printing cash would stimulate the economy. Printing cash would prod capital investment. Printing cash would spur productivity. Printing cash would fuel trade. Printing cash would increase consumer spending. Printing cash would raise the price of assets. Everything was possible with the miracle of cash rolling off the printing presses. This didn’t work. This didn’t work for a simple reason. “Printing cash is good” was a crazy idea. Stimulating the economy by printing cash is as effective as stimulating new-car sales by printing pieces of paper saying, “Give me a new car.” But don’t worry, negative interest rates will fix the problem. Negative interest rates will get rid of the government-issued promissory notes. Cash will go away and be replaced with subsidized central-bank debt, which won’t be backed by empty government promises. It won’t be backed by anything at all! In a sane world, government would quit trying to stimulate the economy. Economies are stimulated by people, not political policies. Government is a henhouse, not a hen. The barn doesn’t lay the eggs, the chickens do. Government could start by cleaning out the barn. Shovel up all the government economic stimulus political policies and dump them on the politicians. What government should be doing is protecting its citizens, defending individual liberties, guarding property rights, providing rule of law, and keeping taxes, regulatory burdens, and trade barriers low. If that – and only that – were what governments were doing, the free market would take care of the rest. The economy would be so stimulated… So stimulated that I can’t think of a PG-rated metaphor to do justice to the stimulation we would be experiencing. And if we had a real free market in currencies and debt, government couldn’t print cash with wild abandon and central banks wouldn’t have any choice about what interest rates they charge. In a sane world, the next time global central bankers got together for the Federal Reserve’s annual August retreat in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, they’d have nothing to do. Maybe, if it rained, they could go mud skiing. Central bankers would be a joke. Which is what they are now. Except it’s a bad joke. Regards, P.J. O’Rourke

The San Andreas Fault, New Madrid, and East Coast are all set to For A DANGEROUS Earthquake

With research compiled, it appears as though America better get ready for a set of detrimental earthquakes over the next few years affecting the San Andreas region, the New Madrid region, and the East Coast. Multiple scientists claim that all of these regions are well overdue for a big one. The real question, are they all connected? -Tell us what you think below! America is set to be rocked by the San Andreas fault at any time in the near future, claims a leading earthquake scientist at the National Earthquake Conference in Long Beach. 1857, the year a monstrous 7.9 earthquake struck the region, and since that time, the San Andreas fault has been far too quiet. “The springs on the San Andreas system have been wound very, very tight. And the southern San Andreas fault, in particular, looks like it’s locked, loaded and ready to go,” Jordan said in the opening keynote talk. Other sections of the San Andreas fault also are far overdue for a big quake. Further southeast of the Cajon Pass, such as in San Bernardino County, the fault has not moved substantially since an earthquake in 1812, and further southeast toward the Salton Sea, it has been relatively quiet since about 1680 to 1690. The San Andreas fault, quite now for over a century, is wound very tight. The problem: with continuous movement the Pacific plate moving northwest of the North American plate should be having earthquakes which relieve stress in the region. However, the San Andreas region has had no quakes, or no stress relief, for such a long period of time that the next quake in the region could very well be one of the largest quakes America has ever seen. Every 100 years or so, earthquakes should be relieving about 16 feet of accumulated plate movement, but again nothing. Which is why the scientist claims that the San Andreas is “locked, loaded and ready to go.” See the computer generated simulators below. Jordan, the scientist, believes the quake could be up to 8 in magnitude leading to diverse damage which is why California should be ready for the quake. Over the next few years, the San Andreas is not the only area expecting a large quake; the New Madrid region is also expecting a large quake. The East Coast is also to expect earthquakes over the next few years because the underside of the North American Plate is peeling off which is making it more susceptible to movement. North America, is due to start shaking over the next few years, and only time will tell what exactly comes out of the above scientists predictions. However, if they are right, North America will geographically change shape.

Experts Warn America Is 'Ready To Rumble' - 'Springs Have Been Wound Very, Very Tight' - Some Ask If Recent New Madrid Quake Is Another Sign Of 'End Times'

May 5, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

The bizarre story from the Daily Mail on Wednesday sounds almost like a Hollywood disaster movie; "The South Is SINKING!" the headline screams at us before dropping the bombshell: "Giant Chunks Of The Earth's Mantle Are Falling Off And Causing Quakes Across The Southeastern US - And More Are Coming" researchers warn. A story that the Drudge Report linked to on Wednesday over at the Los Angeles Times tells us that the San Andreas fault is 'locked, loaded and ready to roll' with a big earthquake according to experts, this as our entire planet is being rocked by 'big ones' along the Ring of Fire. Yet, somehow and fortunately, the US has, at least 'so far', avoided the 'big one' that experts are warning is inevitable. The massive crack in a mountain in nearby Altoona, Pennsylvania is causing concern as we learn in this story and the 5th video below. Just a few weeks ago, the crack that ran up the mountain side was only about a foot wide; according to experts at the scene, as of last week it had grown up to 10' wide and appeared to be at least 15' deep. While there is cause for concern that this massive crack may be somehow tied to fracking in the area while chemicals linked to fracking has been found in the drinking water of some in Pennsylvania, it has not yet been determined if the massive fault opening up in the ground in Pa was caused by man or simply another act of God, especially considering what scientists are now learning about earthquakes in the interior of America as shared more below. Every moment that America moves onward w/o a significant earthquake causing devastating damage is another moment we move closer to that big one. As we learn in the first video below from Rick Wiles of TruTV, experts are warning the 'US is ready to rumble' as 'the springs on the San Andreas system have been wound very, very tight'. Has our planet become a 'pressure cooker' almost ready to pop? When it does, experts say the West coast won't be the only thing that 'goes' in America. On Sunday May 1st, a 3.5 magnitude earthquake struck near middle America in the New Madrid Seismic Zone. According to Michael Snyder, the quake was felt all the way over in Miller, Missouri, more than 267 miles away, and could be a 'foreshock' of something much bigger to come. Snyder proceeds to tell us that the New Madrid, which covers parts of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi is not only 6 times larger than the San Andreas Fault Zone but is, in fact, about 30 years overdue for a major event, and because of the nature of the Earth's crust in that part of the country, a major earthquake would do significant damage all the way to the east coast. For those who have never been in an earthquake before, the experience is one that is not easily forgotten and one cannot blame "Crosswalk" for putting out a story asking if the recent New Madrid quake may have been another sign of coming 'end times' considering everything else that we are now witnessing with massive Earth changes across the planet. Between volcanoes erupting worldwide and particularly along the 'Ring of Fire' and 'giant chunks of the Earth's mantle' reportedly falling off into 'inner Earth', we're truly living in amazing and memorable times. As was pointed out in a recent blog entry by DutchSinse that was linked to by Steve Quayle in his hot news headlines, scientists are now beginning to learn a lot more about the workings of planet Earth and now confirm that earthquakes in interior regions of the US are being caused in part by magma under our continent rising up from below to fill voids left by broken plates. We're also told how this is pushing earthquakes to the East. The new findings conclude that the interior “edge” of the craton (plate) is breaking off into the Asthenosphere far below. New magma is then rising below the North American plate, and PUSHING UP to fill the void left from the broken off pieces of the plate. These new findings explain the upwelling pressure which has been displacing the fracking operations and dormant volcanoes all along the interior of the plate – causing noteworthy earthquakes as the pressure transfers upwards, and across the plate to the East. I’ve talked about this at length, both topics have been covered in detail even recently : the interior craton moving from upwelling pressure, and the Asthenosphere causing the upwelling pressure to begin with. The new study confirms chucks of the plate are breaking off below, being replaced by new upwelling magma. The upwelling magma below the plate also explains the metamorphic rock forming at the bottom of some deep drilled frack wells on the WEST coast, AND this explains the plumes popping off from frack wells during times of seismic unrest along the edge of the craton. This also explains the transfer of earthquakes across the edge of the craton now that it is proved there is upwelling magma replacing rock below the plate. Above: Graphic showing the interior craton “edge” and the direction of displacement that occurs from BELOW, pushing to the East Southeast while the pressure rises towards the surface. The upwelling pressure causes earthquakes along the interior edge of the plate at the weak points in the crust. Many of the weak points are man made drilling + pumping operations, as well as ancient long extinct volcanic chambers nestled into the interior of the plate. In this first video we hear from TruNews on the US ready to rumble while in the 2nd video, we learn more about what scientists are now saying about the San Andreas fault line being 'locked, loaded and ready to pop'. We get an update on the Earth's mantle breaking apart in the 3rd video while in the 4th video below, we learn about the recent New Madrid quake that has so many people so concerned. In the final video below, we learn about the mountain near Altoona, Pennsylvania that has recently made a lot of news as a massive crack continues to grow within it. Will America soon be struck by a devastating earthquake? All we can do is to prepare ourselves for the worst, spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally, while doing the very best we can to make the world a better place all around us.

NC Gov. Says He'll Fight Obama's Attempt to Force Gender Neutral Bathrooms on State

A gender-neutral bathroom is seen at the University of California, Irvine in Irvine, California, September 30, 2014. The University of California will designate gender-neutral restrooms at its 10 campuses to accommodate transgender students, in a move that may be the first of its kind for a system of colleges in the United States. North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory has filed a lawsuit against the federal government after the United States Department of Justice sent an ultimatum last week that attempted to coerce the state government into dropping its new and controversial transgender bathroom law. On Monday, McCrory, a Republican, and North Carolina Department of Public Safety Secretary Frank Perry filed a declaratory judgment action, which asks federal courts to clarify whether the Obama administration's interpretation of Title VII and Title IX of U.S. Civil Rights Act of 1964 is consistent with federal law. The filing of the lawsuit comes on the same day as the state's deadline to explain to the federal agency whether or not it plans to scrub its recently passed law that prohibits transgender individuals from using state-run bathrooms and changing areas designated for the opposite biological sex. The law also protects the rights of businesses and other places of public accommodation to create their own bathroom policies, rather than be forced to allow men into women's restrooms. The department sent a letter to McCrory last Wednesday, arguing that preventing transgender individuals from using the restrooms and changing areas designated for the sex in which they identify is "discrimination" because non-transgender people are allowed to use the bathrooms and changing areas designated for the sex in which they identify. The state sent a request on Friday for the Department of Justice to provide more time for the state to respond to the letter's demands. However, that request was denied unless the state agreed to "unrealistic" terms, a press release states. "The Obama administration is bypassing Congress by attempting to rewrite the law and set restroom policies for public and private employers across the country, not just North Carolina," McCrory said in a statement Monday morning. "This is now a national issue that applies to every state and it needs to be resolved at the federal level," McCrory added. "They are now telling every government agency and every company that employs more than 15 people that men should be allowed to use a women's locker room, restroom or shower facility." In his legal filing, McCrory explained that he has instructed state agencies to reasonably accommodate the use of single occupancy restrooms for those who don't feel comfortable using restrooms designated for their biological sex. "I'm taking this initiative to ensure that North Carolina continues to receive federal funding until the courts resolve this issue," said Governor McCrory. McCrory told Fox News on Sunday that the Department of Justice would have granted the state more time, but only if he publicly called the state's law discriminatory. "I'm not going to publicly announce that something discriminates, which is agreeing with their letter, because we're really talking about a letter in which they're trying to define gender identity," McCrory said in the interview. "And there is no clear identification or definition of gender identity. It's the federal government being a bully." "I don't think that three working days is enough time for such a pretty big threat," McCrory added. "It's the federal government being a bully, making law." North Carolina faces the risk of losing hundreds of millions of dollars in federal education funding that could hurt the state's university system, CNN reports. The Justice Department also sent the same ultimatum letter to the University of North Carolina Board of Governors and was also given a Monday deadline.

ACLU Sues Mississippi to Overturn Religious Freedom Law

05-09-2016

The American Civil Liberties Union of Mississippi is suing the state to overturn a law that protects the religious freedoms of workers who object to providing same-sex marriage services, based upon their strongly held beliefs. The ACLU filed the suit Monday in a U.S. District Court in Jackson. House Bill 1523 is set to become law July 1. It was passed by the Republican-majority Legislature and signed by GOP Gov. Phil Bryant. Dr. Ryan Anderson of the Heritage Foundation previously explained the law to CBN News, pointing out that it actually protects diversity by allowing residents of the state to live according to their own diverse beliefs. "The Mississippi law says if you believe marriage is the union of one man and one woman, that sex is reserved for marriage and that we are created male and female, it doesn't say you have to believe those things, but it says if you do believe those things we are not going to penalize you if you act on those beliefs," Anderson said. Several states have taken action to protect religious freedom since the Supreme Court effectively legalized same-sex marriage nationwide last summer. Supporters say Mississippi's law will protect people's right to follow their religious beliefs on marriage, guaranteed under the First Amendment to the Constitution. Opponents say it violates the equal-protection clause of the Constitution.

Uncle Sam Threatens North Carolina Over Bathroom Law

Michael Swartz · May 6, 2016

Since the state of North Carolina passed a law to counter the city of Charlotte’s attempt at breaking down the gender privacy barrier in public bathrooms — a law that in essence decreed one’s equipment and not one’s feeling of identifying as the opposite gender determined the appropriate restroom for use — the state has suffered the wrath of the Rainbow Mafia. Bruce Springsteen canceled a recent concert, PayPal pulled the plug on a planned North Carolina facility, and the city of Charlotte has been threatened with the loss of the 2017 NBA All-Star Game. These politically correct critics scream that the law discriminates against the transgender “community” — i.e. 0.3% of the population. Predictably, Barack Obama’s administration has joined these thuggish extortion efforts with a “deal they can’t refuse.” Obama’s Social Justice Department™ has upped the ante by calling the law a violation of the federal Civil Rights Act. (He wouldn’t be the “first gay president” for doing any less.) And while it’s a case that may hinge more on an EEOC regulation than actual law, the result may be a long, drawn-out legal fight between the state and federal governments. Obama is threatening to withhold federal education money from the state, placing billions of dollars at stake. So Obama is punishing poor kids by taking education money away, all for the sake of a handful of men who think they’re women. State Attorney General Roy Cooper long since went wobbly on the law, vowing not to defend or enforce HB2, but the Republican state legislature isn’t backing down — legislators say they have no intention of modifying the law. While the anti-science Obama administration is ignoring human biology books by insisting North Carolina revoke its law, the Obama Department of Education is now the target of a parent lawsuit from an Illinois school district. Parents are rightly outraged that Obama ordered the school to accommodate a boy who self-identifies as a girl by allowing him to play on girls' athletic teams and use the girls' locker room, albeit with privacy curtains installed — for him. Just as in North Carolina, the school district was threatened with the loss of $6 million in federal funds, but in this instance parents are fighting back with the lawsuit brought by a group representing 73 parents and 63 students. Nor is the fight to keep gender-separate facilities contained to the courtroom. The retail chain Target recently announced its intention to allow transgenders to use the bathroom in which they feel most comfortable. But instead of praise for its “progressive” stance, Target now faces the backlash of more than a million consumers who have signed a petition to boycott the store. As Rev. Franklin Graham, who lives in North Carolina, said, “Target certainly has the prerogative to make this decision, but it’s proving to be bad for business. I’m glad people are standing up and letting them know this is wrong.” Yet the political ramifications of this may be limited. There’s little doubt Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders will continue the Obama line favoring those with gender disorientation pathology, but presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump has been on both sides of the issue. Perhaps the real issue is whether self-identification — irrespective of biological reality or any other reality for that matter — is not only the ultimate standard, but one enforceable by federal fiat. If it is, then why is a black man “trapped” in a white man’s body not eligible for affirmative action? Or a 21-year-old “woman” trapped in a 12-year-old girl’s body not permitted to get married? Or an 18-year-old trapped in a five-year-old’s body not eligible to vote? It’s been said that in politics, perception is reality. But this bathroom issue shows the phenomenon is spreading.

Dead Sea oil reservoir ‘entirely within Israel’ says company

Israeli business that will drill the site, which reportedly contains NIS 1.2 billion of black gold, denies Arab media reports that license lies within Palestinian territory

By Times of Israel staff May 8, 2016, 4:41 pm

An Israeli company authorized to drill an oil reservoir near the Dead Sea, recently evaluated to contain NIS 1.2 billion worth of fuel, stressed Sunday that the area is located entirely inside Israel, which it said was a response to Arab media reports that the site stretched into Palestinian territory. Israel Opportunity Energy Resources LP said in a statement sent to the media that the Hatrurim field “lies entirely within Israel’s borders.” The oil company said they were responding to “various reports” in the Arab media, though the statement did not specify which reports, nor the nature of their claims. A new report released Sunday by the company and filed with the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange claimed the Hatrurim oil reservoir, which covers 94 square kilometers of the Dead Sea area, is worth NIS 1.2 billion ($320 million). The company released a map purporting to show that the field is located kilometers inside the Green Line, which runs along the West Bank border. The report about the wealth at the oil field appeared to cause some consternation in Jordan, which controls the eastern bank of the Dead Sea. The chairman of the Jordanian Committee for Protecting the Homeland and Resisting Normalization, Dr. Manaf Majali, demanded the Hashemite Kingdom’s minister of energy check the validity of the report on the Hatrurim field, according to the Jordanian daily al-Ghad. “In the case that oil does exist [at Hatrurim] in a commercial quantity, then it totally belongs to Jordan and not to the occupation that stole it,” Majali said. In 1995, Israeli company Delek Group Ltd. struck oil in the Hatrurim area after drilling two kilometers below the surface. But, Israel Opportunity said on their website, Delek decided to halt its operations near the Dead Sea due to the low price of oil at the time. Along with Israel Opportunity, licenses to drill at the oil reservoir were granted to five other partners, according to the company’s website. They include three Israeli companies — Zerach Oil and Gas Exploration, LP (28.75%), Ashtrom Group Ltd (10%) and Ginko Oil Exploration, LP (28.75%) — as well as Israeli geologist Eliyahu Rozenberg (2.5%) and Cyprus Opportunity Oil & Gas Exploration, Ltd (5%), which will become the first company listed in Cyprus to enter into Israel’s oil and gas market, according to Israeli news site Globes. On a statement on its website, the partnership announced that it intends to re-enter the drilling site. The new drilling program, according to the statement, is based on “the seismic survey results received from past drilling,” and will be carried out using “advanced technologies.” The “spud date,” or beginning of the drilling process, is slated to begin by November 1, 2017, the statement said.

Ya’alon: Ongoing Gaza strikes will elicit severe Israeli response

Attacks are triggered by IDF success in detecting Hamas tunnels, defense minister tells ceremony honoring ministry’s fallen

By Times of Israel staff May 9, 2016, 4:14 pm

Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon on Monday blamed recent Palestinian mortar and rocket attacks and rising tensions on Israel’s border with Gaza on successful IDF steps to locate tunnels that the Hamas terror group has dug into Israeli territory. He also cautioned that Israel would not ignore ongoing attacks. “In the last few days, we’ve seen various attempts from Gaza to disturb our lives and threaten us,” he said at a memorial ceremony in Tel Aviv to honor Defense Ministry personnel killed in the line of duty. The attacks are “a result of Israel having developed the ability to detect tunnels, an advanced technology that the Defense Ministry and its workers have been involved in developing and using in recent days,” he added, according to a Defense Ministry transcript. Ya’alon warned that if the shooting does not stop, Israel would respond forcefully against Hamas “Against this terror stands the IDF and various security agencies who are responding decisively to the shooting from the Strip — shooting that, if it continues, will lead to a more severe response for Hamas and other terror organizations in the Strip, until they understand it’s not wise to test us.” Hamas has intermittently exchanged fire with Israeli troops as they worked to destroy tunnels inside Gaza in the past week, but the group has also conveyed to Israel through Egypt that it does not seek an escalation, Israeli officials said. At least 20 mortar shells were fired at Israeli territory from Gaza, while Israeli Air Force fighter jets struck Hamas targets multiple times last week and over the weekend. One rocket fired from Gaza landed in an open area in the Eshkol regional council late Friday. A second fell close to the border fence. Neither caused any injuries or damage, but sent residents dashing to their air-raid shelters as missile defense sirens sounded. Hamas security sources said an IAF raid hit two brickworks in the southern city of Khan Younis, causing damage but no casualties. But witnesses said two missiles hit a base belonging to Hamas’s military wing east of the city, causing significant damage. On Saturday, Israeli officials told Channel 10 News that operations to uncover and destroy cross-border attack tunnels in Gaza would continue despite the violence. They added that Hamas’s tunnel infrastructure was far from the robust network the group possessed before the 2014 Gaza war, and included only a small number of tunnels. Two rockets fired from the Palestinian enclave early Saturday morning were not thought to have been launched by Hamas, but by a smaller terror group seeking to destabilize the region. Hamas, Israel said, was not seeking to widen the conflict to attacks on civilians, and limiting its fire to troops operating inside Gaza. Israeli farmers who were barred last week from their fields that lie within a kilometer from the Strip, for fear of Gazan sniper fire, were allowed to return Sunday to work in the fields. Palestinian media reports on Friday afternoon said Israel and Hamas reached a truce agreement, brokered by Egypt, which would go into effect immediately. But the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, stressed that no such agreement had been reached. “The army intends to maintain its activities against Hamas as [the group] continues to breach Israeli sovereignty and build tunnels,” he said. Despite the increased tension along the border with Gaza in recent weeks, the years since the 2014 conflict, known as Operation Protective Edge, have been the quietest in over a decade in terms of rocket fire and attacks coming from the coastal enclave.

Hamas: Provoking despite distress

As usual, Hamas wants to have its cake and eat it too. On the one hand, it wants to keep its cease-fire agreement with Israel so it can reinvigorate its political status and build up its military strength. On the other hand, Hamas wants to present itself as a resistance organization dedicated to the armed struggle against Israel, as a group that allows terror activity against Israel from its own operatives and from other organizations in the Gaza Strip, such as Islamic Jihad. The cease-fire is important to Hamas because the 2 million Gazans that live under its rule need the calm that a cease-fire would grant. They expect the Hamas leadership to respect them and keep them safe, allowing them to live their lives and to cope with the economic hardship that has become the norm in the Gaza Strip. But Hamas does not always act in accordance with the interests of Gaza residents. And in any case, the decision is not necessarily in the hands of Hamas' political leadership, including Ismail Haniyeh, who in a speech over the weekend also asked to have his cake and eat it too. That is, to maintain calm and at the same time to draw red lines for what the IDF can and cannot do along the Gaza border. Past experience teaches us that military decisions, including renewing rocket fire on Israel, are often in the hands of Hamas' military leadership, led by Mohammed Deif and having its own logic and considerations, Hamas sees itself as following the advice of its friends, the Iranians, and following in the footsteps of Hezbollah in Lebanon. For example, Hamas made the effort to set up a rocket system that covers large swathes of Israeli territory, including central Israel, in order to achieve deterrent power against Israel in the manner of Hezbollah. Now, Hamas is trying to establish the rules of the game based on the Lebanese model, according to which Israel would not have the authority to cross the border line and to operate beyond it, even if the IDF identifies preparations for terrorist activity, and even if it discovers terror tunnels that Hamas is digging underneath Israeli sovereign territory. Israel, for its part, has repeatedly clarified to the terrorist organization that it will maintain its freedom to take action on the Palestinian side of the border and that it will respond not only to terrorist activity carried out by Hamas but also to preparations to carry out such activity. Given the unstable situation in the Gaza Strip and along its border with Israel, the Israeli stance is logical and justified. After all, in the last few weeks alone, the IDF discovered terror tunnels directed at Israeli territory. Moreover, today's concession will become the starting point for tomorrow's negotiations, and the situation may deteriorate to that of the border with southern Lebanon, where Israel is limited in its ability to proactively prevent Hezbollah's actions against it. This is why Israel cannot let Hamas drag it into a limited war of attrition along the border, with a price that would be paid by the citizens who live in the Gaza border area communities. Additionally, at the Lebanon border, which Hamas sees as an ideal model, Israel anchored its shaky cease-fire agreement with Hezbollah with a U.N. Security Council resolution, with the deployment of the Lebanese military along the border and with the presence of U.N. Peacekeepers. This does not address Israel's basic security needs, but even this bare minimum cannot be found in the Gaza Strip. Hamas' willingness to try to negotiate with Israel via exchanging fire and incidents along the border is not necessarily a show of strength. The terrorist organization is facing internal issues, and in light of the closure imposed by Egypt, the situation is very fragile and likely to escalate. It is possible that Hamas was encouraged by the fact that Israel decided to leave it in control of the Gaza Strip. However, in a situation like this, it is up to Hamas to consider the fact that if Israel reaches the conclusion that Hamas is unwilling or incapable of keeping the peace along the border, Israel will no longer do what it did during Operation Protective Edge, when it kept Hamas in power and preferred it to other, more radical groups that could have taken its place.

Torrential rains trigger landslides, kill nearly 50 in Rwanda

AFP | May 9, 2016, 05.35 PM IST

KIGALI: At least 49 people were killed this weekend in landslides caused by torrential rains in rural Rwanda, the government said on Monday. Authorities had previously given a death toll of 20, many of them children, as downpours drenched the densely populated country of steep hills and deep valleys. "During the night of 7-8 May 2016, heavy rains caused landslides in several parts of Rwanda, resulting in loss of lives, and destructing of homes, infrastructure and other property," a statement said. The worst affected district was Gakenke in the north, where 34 people were killed, with another 15 dead and 26 injured in western parts of the country. "Over 500 houses were completely destroyed and various roads sections rendered unusable," the government said in its statement. Landslides are not unusual in Rwanda but this year's rainy season has been particularly deadly with at least 67 people killed from January to April. Of that total, 12 people died on a single night in the suburbs of the capital Kigali, where 1,500 homes were damaged during rainstorms. Authorities blame the El Nino weather phenomenon for the disasters.

Obama's War on Coal Decimating 'America's Powerhouse'

05-09-2016 Chuck Holton

WEST VIRGINIA – The U.S. coal industry is in a fight for its very survival. Job losses have accelerated in southern West Virginia with more than 6,500 miners now out of work. West Virginians, by in large, lay the blame at the feet of Barack Obama, who, in 2008, promised to bankrupt the coal industry. "The war on West Virginia jobs and the war on the West Virginia energy industry is so bad that at the time that this administration took office there were hundreds of functional coal mines in West Virginia that were producing," John O'Neal, a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates, said. "Only 30 some are actually producing coal right now. It's a fraction of what it was when this administration took power," he added. Devastating Ripple Effect Doug Epling is the owner of Mountain Edge Mining, which operated three coal mining ventures. "Coal mining now is the worst it's been since I've been in business," Epling told CBN News. At one time Epling employed more than 600 workers. "At our peak, all three companies combined, we were probably producing two and a half or three million tons per year. We have laid off everyone. ll but the office staff here," Epling said. Those layoffs have caused a huge ripple effect throughout the state. "For every coal mining job you are looking at, five to ten supporting jobs outside of that," Epling said. The West Virginia Coal Association says the economic impact across Appalachia has been devastating. It estimates that 36,000 jobs have been lost, along with $1.5 billion in lost revenue. Bill Raney, president of the West Virginia Coal Association, says the county, cities and the state of West Virginia all depend on the coal industry. "We've got a $353 million deficit in the state budget and the majority of that is because we've not been able to sell the coal that we mine." Raney said. "We've got an economy that is intimately connected with the energy extraction industry…it is our natural resource," O'Neal said."So obviously as elected officials we've got to fight for all we're worth to protect the industry that is the backbone of our state. It is our number one natural resource, and we just can't let that go," he said. "The shame of it is that we've got the best coal miners in the world, we've got the best coal in the world and we clearly know how to make steel and make electricity out of it," Raney added. Devastated Families Raney believes the problem was caused intentionally by the current administration. Speaking of President Obama, Raney said, "This guy said he was going to bankrupt the coal industry when he was running and he absolutely has." "And he's never been here to check or meet or talk with the mining families and see what devastation it has brought," he said. Generations of miners have been taking coal out of these mountains since 100 years before West Virginia was even a state. To this day they still export more coal out of here around the country than any other state in the union. But that's changing fast and the people who are being affected by these changes and the toxic regulatory environment are the miners themselves, like former miner Chris Martin. "I'm 47 years old, and I've got all this time in," Martin said. "And now I've got to make a career change?" Martin worked the mines for 24 years. His grandfathers, father, and brother were all coal miners. But six months ago, that legacy came to an end. "I took about a $60,000 pay cut verses what I'm doing now," Martin said. "My daughter starts college this year and I don't even know if I'm going to be able to send her. I mean, it's taken a toll. I've come close to losing my home." "When you talk to men and you see them cry because they can't do for their family, that's just so wrong," Epling said. "And we've got this bunch up in Washington that doesn't do anything but lip service." Resentment against Democrats Resentment runs high here, and it's led to a dramatic shift in state's political leanings. "West Virginia used to be two-and-a-half to one Democrat over Republican. It has changed now, and the trend in West Virginia is going all Republican," Epling said. O'Neal agrees. "At the time Bill Clinton was president, 74 percent of West Virginians were registered Democrats," he said. "Today that number is 48 percent." No matter who wins the White House, these miners hope the new administration will stop the war on coal and see it as a national asset. "We're America's powerhouse and everybody needs to visit their furnace room once in awhile just to find out how important it is to the rest of the country," Raney said.

Harvard Law Professor Says Treat Conservative Christians Like Nazis

Ryan T. Anderson / @ryantand / May 09, 2016

Liberals, stop being so defensive. That’s the message of Harvard law professor Mark Tushnet in a new post at Balkinization, titled “Abandoning Defensive Crouch Liberal Constitutionalism.” The problem, according to Tushnet, is that liberals have been too defensive when it comes to advancing their agenda in the courts. Now that President Barack Obama has reshaped the federal judiciary, liberal causes can win easily in court. And now that Justice Antonin Scalia has died, “judges no longer have to be worried about reversal by the Supreme Court if they take aggressively liberal positions.Tushnet blames what he calls the “culture wars” on conservatives, and he says liberals should now make conservatives pay. “The culture wars are over; they lost, we won,” he writes in italics. Tushnet claims that conservatives “had opportunities to reach a cease fire, but rejected them in favor of a scorched earth policy.” Since when have liberals been defensive? The scorched earth policy has been theirs. They’ve been the aggressors—they’ve been offensive. Conservatives have been defensive. It seems hard to envision how conservatives could have declared a unilateral cease fire when they weren’t the ones firing in the first place. Liberals aggressively sought in the courts an unlimited abortion license, a redefinition of marriage, and now for transgender bathroom policies throughout the nation. Liberals haven’t been bashful to use the courts to reshape social policy when they couldn’t win at the polls. So what’s next? Tushnet explains: “the question now is how to deal with the losers in the culture wars.” And his answer isn’t comforting: “My own judgment is that taking a hard line (‘You lost, live with it’) is better than trying to accommodate the losers.” Tushnet explains his unwillingness to respect the rights of the “losers”: “Trying to be nice to the losers didn’t work well after the Civil War, nor after Brown. (And taking a hard line seemed to work reasonably well in Germany and Japan after 1945.)” m Ah, yes, if the “losers” of the American “culture wars” are the functional equivalent of racists and Nazis, then Tushnet’s argument works wonderfully. But if Orthodox Jews, Roman Catholics, Evangelical Christians, Latter-day Saints, faithful Muslims, and other Americans who believe that marriage is the union of a man and woman are decent members of society, maybe Tushnet should reconsider his hostility. In my new book, “Truth Overruled: The Future of Marriage and Religious Freedom,” I argue that the question for people who believe marriage is the union of husband and wife is whether the government will treat us like pro-lifers or like racists. And I offer a roadmap on how to make it so that we’re recognized as people of reason and good will, like pro-lifers. But, Tushnet makes it clear that he and his colleagues among the liberal elite want the government to treat conservative Christians worse than racists—like Nazis. It’s our job to make sure that Tushnet doesn’t succeed. It’s what Americans did after Roe v. Wade. Congress and the states passed a variety of laws that protect pro-life conscience. In Roe v. Wade the Supreme Court invented a right to an abortion. But after Roe, legislatures made clear that government cannot require a pro-life doctor or nurse to perform an abortion—that they, too, had rights. The same is true after the Supreme Court’s redefinition of marriage. Government has to treat two people of the same sex as married, but private schools, charities, businesses, and individuals should not have to abandon their beliefs. Tushnet embodies a particularly vicious form of illiberal liberalism. But protecting the rights of a minority—his “losers”—in the wake of such change is an important feature of America’s tradition of tolerance in the midst of pluralism. It’s what real liberalism requires. This is why federal legislation like the First Amendment Defense Act and state legislation like Mississippi’s Protecting Freedom of Conscience From Government Discrimination Act are so important. As I explain in “Truth Overruled,” good public policy is needed at the local, state, and federal levels to protect cherished American values. When your neighbors are not in fact Nazis, you should favor public policies that help achieve civil peace amid reasonable disagreement. You should seek to protect pluralism and the rights of all Americans—including the “losers.”

Will Newly Signed Obama Executive Order Pave Way For 'Final False Flag' Leading To Global Dictatorship And A 'New World Order'?

May 9, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

While many have been quick to point out that the latest Executive Order signed by Barack Obama to 'ensure a smooth transition' between the new, incoming president in January 2017 and his administration is standard and only traditional and George Bush signed such an Executive Order as well, as we learn in the 1st video, this latest Executive Order may be anything but 'standard' and 'traditional' and differs greatly from the one George Bush signed back in 2008 in one major way as looked at in much more detail below. Considering everything else that we've been witnessing around the world recently, including John Kerry's recent statement to graduates at Northeastern University to 'prepare for a borderless world' as well as Barack Obama's recent warning to graduates of Howard University to 'be ready for profound change in our society and our economy', some believe that Mr. Obama's most recent Executive Order may be preparing for the 'final false flag' in America to bring in the 'New World Order'. You can see the full executive order embedded below videos. When this Executive Order first was released, (yes, on a Friday...why Friday?) we too believed this was quite normal as we were aware of the similar order signed by Bush back in October of 2008, soon before the November election. However, once we began researching it, we noticed one major difference compared to the one Bush signed back in 2008; this Executive Order specifically mentions that the 'transition team' will be involved in the preparing and hosting of interagency emergency preparedness and response exercises as seen in the screenshot of the new executive order above. Do they know something that we don't know? Why didn't Bush include similar language and 'exercises'? According to a story from Infowars that came out in late April, the elite and 'new world order' are so petrified of Donald Trump that they may be preparing to declare martial law to stop him. Is that what these 'exercises' refer to? As has been pointed out time and again on ANP and elsewhere in the alternative media, George Soros' slovenly gang of paid rioters have threatened to interrupt the 'political process' as has ISIS and 'black lives matter' and 'orchestrated terrorism' is on the rise in America. Should Americans be concerned? When we consider all of the other Executive Orders that Obama has signed during his presidency, particularly Executive Order #13603 as outlined in this story from Forbes.com, it's quite easy to see why so many people believe that Obama may be the last president of the US, and our first dictator in a 'socialist, one-world government', as he has enabled himself to seize control of the economy, all forms of energy, all forms of food capable of being ingested by human beings or animals, all forms of water, and much more. This EO actually includes terminology that would allow him to force Americans into slave labor. Directly from the 2012 Forbes story.: To be sure, much of this language has appeared in national security executive orders that previous presidents have issued periodically since the beginning of the Cold War. But more than previous national security executive orders, Obama’s 13603 seems to describe a potentially totalitarian regime obsessed with control over everything. Obama’s executive order makes no effort to justify the destruction of liberty, no effort to explain how amassing totalitarian control would enable government to deal effectively with cyber sabotage, suicide bombings, chemical warfare, nuclear missiles or other possible threats. It’s quite likely there would be greater difficulty responding to threats, since totalitarian regimes suffer from economic chaos, colossal waste, massive corruption and bureaucratic infighting that are inevitable consequences of extreme centralization. Such problems plagued fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, communist China and other regimes. Totalitarian control would probably trigger resistance movements and underground networks like those that developed in Western Europe during the Nazi occupation. Totalitarian control could provoke more political turmoil than there was in the Vietnam War era of the 1960s. There would probably be a serious brain drain as talented people with critical skills escaped to freedom wherever that might be. Canada? Do we really think that Mr. Obama and the 'New World Order' will simply give this all up when they have been working to destroy America and eliminate our national sovereignty for years? The global elitists have been spending trillions of dollars to implement their global dictatorship, and now even folks such as John Kerry are openly talking about it...a 'borderless world'...when will they tell America of this 'brave, new world', when it's already too late to change? As we learn in the final video below, a video recently linked to by Steve Quayle in his hot news headlines, it may already be way too late. According to that video, Obama may be preparing to declare martial law as soon as August of 2016. While at ANP we don't like putting exact dates on possible future events, we have to ask, is that what all of the preparation that we've been witnessing across America recently is for? While at this moment, we are unable to confirm that Mr. Obama's most recent Executive Order will be used in part to enable and cement his own dictatorship, we have to remind you that back in December of 1991, the huge majority of the people of the former Soviet Union had no idea that their 'Union' was about to dissolve. For many years, people such as Alex Jones at Infowars, Steve Quayle, the Hagmanns, Oathkeepers and many other 'Watchmen' have been sounding the alarm of the dangers that were coming to America. Many have refused to listen but millions more have been 'awoken' to globalism and the resultant 'incineration' of our civil liberties here in America and the other results that globalism has brought, including loss of jobs and national sovereignty. The political result of that awakening has been the rise of Donald Trump with even Libertarians such as Rand Paul now endorsing him. The signs of the way the coming election might go are also clear; the globalist candidate, Hillary Clinton, will be absolutely slaughtered by the 'nationalist', Donald Trump, as Americans continue to 'awaken en masse' to the carnage this 'new world order' has caused our Republic. All signs now show that the globalists will soon launch one final 'false flag', or series of false flags, to put the final dagger in America's heart. If the globalists have any chance at all of keeping their 'new world order' intact, they'll have to do it soon. It's clear they know that a Trump presidency brings an end to their plans of a neutered America and their dictatorial dreams of global government. The story Steve Quayle linked to this morning from the Army Times tells us that the Army has shrunk to its smallest level since prior to World War 2. Quayle's note on the story told us what the Army Times story didn't. While the Army has shrunk, Barack Obama's 'personal army' has grown in size and strength with weapons, funding and foreign troops seemingly prepared to do the 'dirty work' that the US military won't do. Quayle also reminds us who the 'new enemy' is to 'Obama's private army', the American people. To complete their 'new world order', only a strong America stands in the way. At ANP we're happy to report, with the rise of Trump, a strong America has finally answered the call. Will it be too late?

Harvard Mumps Outbreak: The Real Story Mainstream Media Won’t Tell You

“I’m actually more concerned now than I was during any time of the outbreak.” Harvard isn’t the only college in the Boston area hit by mumps this spring — Boston University, the University of Massachusetts and Tufts University have also reported cases among their students. Harvard’s recent mumps outbreak has brought all the usual media suspects to the forefront attempting to sweep any discussion of dangerous and ineffective vaccines under the table. NBC news is calling for more people to get mumps vaccines who are attending Boston area colleges by writing: “Sometimes during an outbreak, doctors will even administer a third dose. There’s still a bit of debate around whether this really helps, but there’s no harm in giving the vaccine to someone who is already immune.” The statement, ran by NBC news, shows callous disregard for its readers intelligence and their safety. A simple look at the manufacturer’s vaccine insert or the total payout to date from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program refutes NBC’s claims 100 percent. Yet again, the mainstream media bias and framing of this story is tilted dangerously towards pro-pharmaceutical product pushing. Most — if not all — major reporting on the Harvard mumps outbreak forbid discussion of recent history casting pharmaceutical companies in a well-deserved bad light. Some reports mentioned the mumps outbreak in 2006 which saw at least 6,500 cases in 11 states — the biggest in recent history. In 2006, the concerns were about the waning effect of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine given during childhood. The same issues of waning immunity and vaccine ineffectiveness are still the only mainstream media’s pro-vaccine talking points today. Coincidentally the MMR vaccine is also currently the center of the breakout documentary Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe. Dr. Amesh Adalja, an infectious-disease specialist and a senior associate at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s Center for Health Security went on record in a Wired to say: “The exposure that they [students] have to mumps is so high in these situations [college] that it overcomes the ability of the vaccine to protect them.” According to Dr. Adalja’s logic, in addition to the MMR’s dangers and historical impotence, college students are offered no protection apparently because they are in college. NBC news host and vaccine injury denier Matt Lauer used the recent Harvard mumps outbreak to push all vaccine booster shots and plug the CDC’s vaccine schedule. It should be noted that the CDC is the largest purchaser of vaccines spending over $4 billion a year of tax-payer funds. Putting behind the heavily leveraged pharmaceutical manufacturer-sponsored media, there is most certainly a bigger story here.

Merck’s Mumps Vaccine Fraud – Not Being Reported in Mainstream Media mumps-vaccine-fraud Let’s start with the current — under-reported — story of the Merck “mumps” whistleblowers. In 2010 a pair of former Merck virologists filed suit claiming Merck engaged in mumps research fraud. One of the Merck whistleblower virologist alleged in her 2010 lawsuit the following: .”   etc.

In 2012, a clinic and two MD’s filed a class action lawsuit against Merck claiming violation of the Sherman Act — monopolistic, anti-competitive behavior resulting from the fraud — and violation of various state laws. Merck has a full monopoly over the mumps — and MMR — vaccine in the United States being the sole manufacturer licensed by the Food and Drug Administration. 2017 will mark the 50th anniversary of Merck’s de-facto exclusive license from the federal government to manufacture and sell a mumps vaccine in the U.S. How does all this information relate to Harvard’s — and any other — mumps outbreaks? The former Merck virologists stated in their 2010 lawsuit: “The ultimate victims here are the millions of children who, every year, are being injected with a mumps vaccine that is not providing them with an adequate level of protection,” And while federal health officials have said the disease was supposed to have been eradicated by now, “the failure of Merck’s vaccine has allowed this disease to linger with significant outbreaks continuing to occur.” The lawsuits are still ongoing at the moment.

Putting behind the heavily leveraged pharmaceutical manufacturer-sponsored media, there is most certainly a bigger story here. Merck’s Mumps Vaccine Fraud – Not Being Reported in Mainstream Media mumps-vaccine-fraud Let’s start with the current — under-reported — story of the Merck “mumps” whistleblowers. In 2010 a pair of former Merck virologists filed suit claiming Merck engaged in mumps research fraud. One of the Merck whistleblower virologist alleged in her 2010 lawsuit the following: “During her employment there [Merck], she witnessed firsthand, and was asked to directly participate in, fraud in a clinical trial relating to the efficacy of Merck’s mumps vaccine.” In 2012, a clinic and two MD’s filed a class action lawsuit against Merck claiming violation of the Sherman Act — monopolistic, anti-competitive behavior resulting from the fraud — and violation of various state laws. Merck has a full monopoly over the mumps — and MMR — vaccine in the United States being the sole manufacturer licensed by the Food and Drug Administration. 2017 will mark the 50th anniversary of Merck’s de-facto exclusive license from the federal government to manufacture and sell a mumps vaccine in the U.S. How does all this information relate to Harvard’s — and any other — mumps outbreaks? The former Merck virologists stated in their 2010 lawsuit: “The ultimate victims here are the millions of children who, every year, are being injected with a mumps vaccine that is not providing them with an adequate level of protection,” And while federal health officials have said the disease was supposed to have been eradicated by now, “the failure of Merck’s vaccine has allowed this disease to linger with significant outbreaks continuing to occur.” The lawsuits are still ongoing at the moment. Covering the mumps outbreak at Harvard, the Boston Globe writes: “Massachusetts law requires undergraduates to be vaccinated against mumps before admission, and most of the Harvard students had been vaccinated, according to state health officials.” The Boston Globe should do a better job of checking their facts in this instance. Massachusetts law suggests students be vaccinated. However, Massachusetts law allows for parents and students to exercise their medical and religious autonomy by opting out of vaccination with a waiver. The university suggests that all enrolled students receive the MMR vaccine yet immunization can not be forced. Harvard currently respects the medical and religious exemptions described in the Massachusetts Immunization Law. However, in the past, many mumps outbreaks have been witnessed throughout fully vaccinated populations. In 2013, the University of Richmond had an outbreak currently rivaling that of Harvard’s despite all the effected students having a documented history of two doses of mumps-containing vaccine. Also in 2013, Loyola University in Maryland had an outbreak of 12 mumps cases despite the university requiring the MMR vaccine for all students. In 2013, a mumps outbreak at Fordham University in New York was spotlighted that showed all students diagnosed with the mumps had been fully vaccinated with the MMR vaccine before attending the university. Perpetrating the “Herd Immunity” Myth To explain away the recent Harvard mumps outbreak, the mainstream media continues to use the tired explanation of waning immunity after vaccination. No mainstream media outlet has decided to touch the proven cases of vaccine-caused disease outbreaks. However, the media and government have forced the idea — and based policy — around the failed theory of herd immunity. Assuming that the mumps vaccine is greatly effective — which evidence and whistleblowers have demonstrated it is not — the reality of achieving herd immunity with vaccines that continue to show limited effectiveness is an impossible fairy tale. The discussion rarely wades into the deep waters to question the CDC’s credibility, the dangers of vaccines or the impossibility of herd immunity. The mumps vaccine isn’t the only shot in the spotlight when one would like to debunk herd immunity. The flu vaccine was announced by USA Today to be only 23 percent effective in the U.S. for the 2014-2015 season. These dismal effectiveness numbers in the U.S. would have been welcomed by the Canadian Centre of Disease Control who reported during last years flu season that their flu shots offered zero protection. Herd immunity is impossible when vaccines remain ineffective. Canadian physician Dr. Andrew Moulden provided clear scientific evidence to prove that every dose of vaccine given to a child or an adult produces harm. The truth that he uncovered was rejected by the conventional medical system and the pharmaceutical industry. Nevertheless, his warning and his message to America remains as a solid legacy of the man who stood up against big pharma and their program to vaccinate every person on the Earth. Dr. Moulden died unexpectedly in November of 2013 at age 49. Because of the strong opposition from big pharma concerning Dr. Moulden’s research, we became concerned that the name of this brilliant researcher and his life’s work had nearly been deleted from the internet. His reputation was being disparaged, and his message of warning and hope was being distorted and buried without a tombstone. This book summarizes his teaching and is a must-read for everyone who wants to learn the “other-side” of the vaccine debate that the mainstream media routinely censors. One of the biggest myths being propagated in the compliant mainstream media today is that doctors are either pro-vaccine or anti-vaccine, and that the anti-vaccine doctors are all “quacks.” However, nothing could be further from the truth in the vaccine debate. Doctors are not unified at all on their positions regarding “the science” of vaccines, nor are they unified in the position of removing informed consent to a medical procedure like vaccines. The two most extreme positions are those doctors who are 100% against vaccines and do not administer them at all, and those doctors that believe that ALL vaccines are safe and effective for ALL people, ALL the time, by force if necessary. Very few doctors fall into either of these two extremist positions, and yet it is the extreme pro-vaccine position that is presented by the U.S. Government and mainstream media as being the dominant position of the medical field. In between these two extreme views, however, is where the vast majority of doctors practicing today would probably categorize their position. Many doctors who consider themselves “pro-vaccine,” for example, do not believe that every single vaccine is appropriate for every single individual. Many doctors recommend a “delayed” vaccine schedule for some patients, and not always the recommended one-size-fits-all CDC childhood schedule. Other doctors choose to recommend vaccines based on the actual science and merit of each vaccine, recommending some, while determining that others are not worth the risk for children, such as the suspect seasonal flu shot. These doctors who do not hold extreme positions would be opposed to government-mandated vaccinations and the removal of all parental exemptions. In this eBook, I am going to summarize the many doctors today who do not take the most extremist pro-vaccine position, which is probably not held by very many doctors at all, in spite of what the pharmaceutical industry, the federal government, and the mainstream media would like the public to believe.

Undeniable evidence from numerous studies proves that fluoride causes cancer

Monday, May 09, 2016 by: Ethan A. Huff, staff writer

(NaturalNews) The California Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) recently released a document called Evidence on the Carcinogenicity of Fluoride and Its Salts that highlights the many health hazards caused by the consumption of fluoride. And the Fluoride Action Network (FAN) recently submitted a compilation of its own to OEHHA, which is soon to make a final decision concerning fluoride's toxicity, providing additional evidence that fluoride causes cancer. FAN has been working for many years to raise awareness about the toxicity of fluoride, with the eventual goal of getting it removed from public water supplies. And its most recent efforts involving OEHHA could be the straw that breaks the camel's back, so to speak, as it has the potential to unleash the truth about fluoride on a massive scale, and spark a revolt against its use. According to a recent FAN press release, OEHHA's report was birthed out of an inquiry into the science of fluoride's toxicity. It is also a prelude to the group's scientific advisory board Carcinogen Identification Committee (CIC) meeting to be held on October 12 - 13, 2011, which will make a decision on the status of fluoride as a carcinogen. The OEHHA report already states that "multiple lines of evidence (show) that fluoride is incorporated into bones where it can stimulate cell division of osteoblasts [bone-forming cells]," an admission that already recognizes fluoride as a cause of bone cancer. The report goes on to state that fluoride induces "genetic changes other cellular changes leading to malignant transformation, and cellular immune response thereby increasing the risk of development of osteosarcomas." To add to this, FAN presented OEHHA with additional studies from the National Research Council (NRC), the National Toxicology Program (NTP), and several esteemed universities that all illustrate a link between fluoride consumption and various cancers, including liver and oral cancers, and thyroid follicular cell tumors. With this mountain of evidence, the only logical conclusion OEHHA can come to in October is that fluoride is a toxic poison -- and just like lead and other known toxic chemicals already are in California, worthy of being publicly identified as dangerous. "While we understand that there will be tremendous pressure put on the CIC and OEHHA by the proponents of fluoride and fluoridation, we ask that the Committee continue to rely on its high level of scientific knowledge and integrity when deliberating and reaching a final conclusion on the carcinogenicity status of fluoride and its salts," wrote FAN as part of its official submission.

Hyperloop: How the 760mph train will levitate above a magnetic track

By Alistair Charlton May 9, 2016 14:00 BST Updated 11 hr ago

Hyperloop Transportation Technologies has revealed how its Elon Musk-inspired bullet train will levitate on a magnetic field as it blasts between stations at the speed of sound. The train will use a technology called passive magnetic levitation which its creators claim is more efficient and safer than the levitation system used by Maglev trains in Japan. Where Maglev trains require many power stations to be installed along the side of the track, each feeding electricity to copper cables in the track, which become an electromagnet once charged, the Hyperloop system has a passive magnet on each train carriage and an aluminium track containing loops of wire. This setup is more like a pair of regular magnets, rather than an electromagnet which requires a constant supply of electricity to work. Bibop Gresta, chief operations officer of Hyperloop Transport Technologies (HTT), explained how this system is better than Meglev. "Utilising a passive levitation system will eliminate the need for power stations along the Hyperloop track, which makes this system the most suitable for the application and will keep construction costs low." Gresta continued: "From a safety aspect, the system has huge advantages, levitation occurs purely through movement, therefore if any type of power failure occurs, Hyperloop pods would continue to levitate and only after reaching minimal speeds touch the ground." Where a power failure on a Maglev system would see the train fall into the rails at any speed (potentially hundreds of miles per hour), HTT's trains naturally levitate above the track at around 20mph and over; the theory is the same as that behind levitating Bluetooth speakers, which use two magnets facing each other to hold a speaker in the air above its base station. The passive magnetic levitation system was developed by Dr Richard Post and his team at Lawrence Livermore National Labs, California, had has been exclusively licensed to HTT for use on the Hyperloop. The company says its floating trains can accelerate to 760mph between stations, faster than a commercial airliner. The trains will travel in a tube with almost all of its air removed, reducing drag and helping the carriages reach high speeds with minimal effort. Costs are kept low by using solar power and recharging the onboard batteries through regenerative braking, a system also used by Formula One cars and electric vehicles like the Tesla Model S. HTT says construction on the Hyperloop starts later in 2016 and the first passenger service will begin in 2018. HTT is not to be confused with Hyperloop Technologies, another company setting out to build a Hyperloop train. Both firms began work after Tesla CEO Elon Musk published a white paper in 2013 detailing how such a train might work. His plans described a train capable of taking passengers from Los Angeles to San Francisco, a journey of 350 miles, in 30 minutes. Musk says he will not be involved with building a Hyperloop, as his commitments lie with being CEO of Tesla and space transportation company SpaceX, and chairman of Solar City, a solar energy provider.

CERN Strangelets Causing Increased Earth Changes?

Could The LHC Be Adding To The Planet's Woes

With each day comes a new warning for yet another area on the planet. Earthquakes, volcanoes, sinkholes, its endless. The latest of which is a warning the Mount St Helens in the USA may be about due for another sizable burp, after the last major eruption taking place in the 80’s. Seismologists studying Mount St Helen’s say a “swarm” of 130 tremors have been recorded below the volcano as it generates more lava ahead of a possible future eruption. The active volcano, responsible for America’s deadliest ever eruption, is “still very much alive” according to experts tasked with predicting when it will next blow its top. They are continuing to monitor the situation carefully amid concerns that the current quakes could develop into a “big recharge event” indicating that a huge eruption is imminent. Mount St Helen’s, in the north-western state of Washington, was responsible for America’s deadliest eruption in 1980 when 57 people lost their lives and hundreds of homes were destroyed. Continue reading There are even stories of the earth’s crust being in trouble with parts crumbling away, on top of the continuous sink-hole stories that appear every day from all over the world. The southeastern United States has been hit by a series of strange unexplained quakes – most recently, the 2011 magnitude-5.8 earthquake near Mineral, Virginia that shook the nation’s capital. Researchers have been baffled, believing the areas should be relatively quiet in terms of seismic activity, as it is located in the interior of the North American Plate, far away from plate boundaries where earthquakes usually occur. Now, they believe the quakes could be caused by pieces of the Earth’s mantle breaking off and sinking into the plane CONTINUE READING Everything in the universe is cyclical and no doubt our planet has seen it, done it, all before. However, we must take into account something we covered last years, and that is the production of something called strangelet’s coming out of the LHC in Geneva. We discussed this again with Anthony Patch on Freaky Friday on the episode just past and I have included that segment of discussion in today’s video update. I urge you all to listen to the information presented and to go and do your own research, as we cannot tell you definitively that strangelets are the cause of what is going on, but we certainly think they must be taken into consideration due to their nature and the effects they would have Here is an extract from the show notes of Freaky Friday…. During our previous shows covering CERN we have spoken about something called “Strangelets”. Strangelets are produced that the LHC at energies over 10TeV. For long periods in 2016 10TeV+ was achieved and towards the end of the year the energy rose to over 1PeV – 1 Quadrillion Electron Volts which would’ve seen Strangelet production go through the roof – or perhaps it would be more apt to say fall through the floor! Strangelet’s were first produced at CERN in 2010 and at that time they referred to them as plasma. The strangelet’s are composed of a Quark-Gluon condensate and are stable in nature. It’s this stability that makes them so utterly explosive due to everything else being of an unstable make up! The Gluons normally act as intermediaries between the individual quarks, allowing exchanges of energy. It’s all in the name… Gluons – they literally glue the quarks in place. When the beams of particles collide they literally rip the Quarks & gluons apart and they form in a dense stable state. Strangelet’s are highly dense and hard to contain once produced, and we had spoken about the potential for them to make their way towards the core of the planet and cause major disruption that would come in the form of earth changes, e.g. earthquakes and volcanic activity. In recent weeks how many times have we covered the increase in earth changes around the planet? In recent days there have been reports that the crust of the earth is literally cracking in place. California and the San Andreas fault is on high alert with experts warning of the big one! We discuss whether or not we are seeing the effects of strangelet’s acting upon the earth. It’s important to note that at the very centre of our own star reside strangelet’s, and if, IF, there are strangelets are the centre of our planet, then we are in the early stages of the Earth being not terraformed, but transformed into a star of its own! CONTINUE READING HERE Today Mercury makes a transit of the sun, something it does 13 times per century and later this month there will be a number of planetary alignments between May 22nd – 25th, so be on the look out for yet more seismic activity. We talk about the fact that they may have set of a chain reaction that will see our planet one day being transformed into a neutron star. You may wonder what the point would be in that? These elites share the same damn planet so that doesn’t make sense, right? Correct! That is why we talk about something called the “breakaway civilization” & secret space programs, for these elites have known for centuries just what lies ahead, and you can be sure they are doing all they can to save their own asses, not ours! Remember what the Georgia Guidestones say….. 500 million would be the ideal population number, and by anyone’s math, even that in common core, that mean approx 6.5 billion people alive today must go! By go I don’t mean onto the secret space transporters.

This Silicon Valley Billionaire Wants to Give Us All Robot Bodies

Written by Mark Mann May 9, 2016 // 06:00 AM EST

“Here” is a funny word. So says Scott Hassan, the media-shy Silicon Valley billionaire who once set out to build the first fully autonomous humanoid robot, and ended up hawking what looks like a flatscreen atop two long legs with wheels. If Hassan has his way, this seemingly simple device—called a Beam—will close the loop between cyberspace and meat-space. The Beam was designed as a video conferencing tool, allowing instant, face-to-face communication—kind of like FaceTime or Skype, except you can drive the screen on legs around the room remotely, with a keyboard. It could one day become much more. Those with disabilities can have access to a rudimentary body that allows them to go where they otherwise can’t. (Edward Snowden has famously used one in his public appearances.) As Beams proliferate, you could transport yourself over to visit a family member across the country, or to tour Paris or Hong Kong for the afternoon. There has been speculation that the Beam might even eventually sprout arms, making it more like a body. Hassan won’t confirm these rumours, but he won’t deny them either. In a future where we can zap ourselves over the internet into different robot bodies around the world, “here” won’t just be here anymore, Hassan believes. It’ll be anywhere. Recently, while visiting my family in Halifax, I beamed into Hassan’s office in Palo Alto, where Suitable Technologies Inc., the company that makes the Beam, is based. I found him there waiting for me, gazing intently into the camera of the Beam I was manipulating. Hassan is extremely alert and attentive, and comes across as an over-caffeinated genius: generous with his ideas, but also impatient that you keep up. He rarely does interviews, though he’s one of the most important figures in modern robotics. Hassan was an early investor in Google and is credited with contributing to the original code for the search engine. In 2006, after a series of other exploits in high tech, he decided to invest in his own robotics research laboratory, Willow Garage. The team there created the PR2, an iconic humanoid robot that has become an important research platform for artificial intelligence. For example, PR2 made the news last year for learning how to make a pancake by reading a recipe off of the internet. The PR2 has also been known to make lattes, play pool and fetch beer, do the laundry (almost), play with Lego, and scoop dog poop. Not bad. If you could beam into a PR2, that would really get people excited Despite all those feats, Hassan ultimately became disillusioned with autonomous robots: they’re expensive to build, and although AI can now beat humans at Go and perform other impressive feats, they’re still not as smart as real people. “Computers are fabulous, but they’re nothing compared to the human brain,” he told me. Creating a robot that accurately and quickly responds to voice instructions and performs simple tasks is still extremely difficult. He illustrated this by asking me to nudge a wastebasket under a chair with my Beam, which I was able to do by driving into it. “It would take hundreds and hundreds of PhDs in computer science, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering to build a system that does that,” he told me. “There are billions of people on the planet, so why not do it with people as the intelligence,” he asked, instead of an artificial system? It’s easy to envision Beam-like devices with more appendages and more sensors than just wheels and a camera, so workers could do more than just roll around and talk. If you could beam into a PR2, that would really get people excited. Right now, the action the Beam offers is still rudimentary: moving around a flat, uncomplicated space. The most obvious application is working from home: the Beam store in Palo Alto is staffed by people beaming in from around the country. Real estate agents give tours, business executives visit factories, people go to conferences, all on the Beam, according to a report in Time. For people with disabilities, access to a Beam body could be transformative. Henry Evans, a quadriplegic engineer and speaker, uses the Beam as an assistive device to go where he otherwise couldn’t. Hassan is hoping that the Americans with Disabilities Act will eventually include a rule that makes the Beam a necessary accessibility tool in government buildings, just like a wheelchair ramp. Another goal is tele-tourism. “We want to put them in all the cool sites around the world and allow you to Beam in,” he told me. Imagine activating a Beam at the pyramids, Machu Picchu, or the Taj Mahal, from your bedroom. But he also thinks that even if that dream is realized, it won’t stop people from traveling in real life. The truth is that, no matter how good it gets, beaming in will never be as good as experiencing something first-hand. One day, we might even be able to beam up to a space station, orbiting Earth. If “here” is anywhere, why not up there?

Putin issues a warning to the West and Nato over their 'double standards' as Russia displays its military might in Victory Day parade

Vladimir Putin spoke out during an hour-long parade in tanks and rocket launches were driven through Red Square

Russian president said he wanted to build an international security system as part of moves to combat terrorism

Also warned against 'unacceptable double standards' that 'shortsightedly indulge those nurturing criminal plans'

Parade including 10,000 troops, tanks and nuclear missile systems and a fly-past of aircraft used in Syria campaign

See more news on Vladimir Putin as he issues warning to Nato and the West at www.dailymail.co.uk/putin  By Julian Robinson for MailOnline Published: 05:15 EST, 9 May 2016 | Updated: 13:52 EST, 9 May 2016

Vladimir Putin has issued a warning to the West and Nato over their 'double standards' as Russia displayed its military might in a Victory Day parade. The Russian president spoke out during an hour-long parade in which huge tanks and rocket launchers were driven through Red Square in Moscow. Thousands of male and female military personnel marched through the square during the event, which concluded with a flyover by dozens of aircraft. During a short speech at the parade this morning, Putin said he wanted to help build an international security system that transcended military blocs as part of a moves to combat global terrorism. Scroll down for video He made no specific accusations - but both the accusation of double standards and the call for a 'non-bloc system of international security' echo Russia's frequent criticism of the West and the NATO alliance. The parade saw military equipment including the advanced Armata tank and the Yars ICBM launcher lumbered across the square, before helicopters, long-range bombers and Su-35 fighter jets used in Russia's Syria campaign flew overhead. Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev sat beside Putin at the Moscow parade, but other foreign leaders were not among the honoured guests. Western leaders last year snubbed invitations to attend the 70th anniversary celebrations over the Ukraine crisis, leaving Putin to mark the day in the company of the leaders of China, Cuba and other Moscow-friendly figures. An estimated 27million of the former Soviet Union's soldiers and civilians were killed in the Second World War and the Red Army's triumph is viewed as a huge source of pride in Russia.

Army shrinks to smallest level since before World War II

Jim Tice, Army Times 9:02 a.m. EDT May 7, 2016

The Army’s latest headcount shows that nearly 2,600 soldiers departed active service in March without being replaced, an action that plunges manning to its lowest level since before World War II. During the past year the size of the active force has been reduced by 16,548 soldiers, the rough equivalent of three brigades. End strength for March was 479,172 soldiers, which is 154 fewer troopers than were on active duty when the Army halted the post-Cold War drawdown in 1999 with 479,424 soldiers, the smallest force since 1940, when the active component numbered 269,023 soldiers. Barring unexpected delays, the Army is well-positioned to achieve, or exceed, its budgeted end-strength of 475,000 soldiers by Sept. 30, the end of fiscal 2016. Without congressional or Defense Department intervention, the drawdown will continue for two more years, with endstrength hitting 460,000 soldiers in 2017, and 450,000 in 2018. The latest official demographics from the Defense Manpower Data Center shows that in addition to the 479,172 soldiers who were on active duty April 1, the Army’s reserve forces totaled 548,024 soldiers, for a total force of 1,027,196 soldiers. The drawdown master plan calls for a Total Army of 980,000 soldiers on Sept. 30, 2018. DMDC statistics show that 348,463 soldiers were in service with the Army National Guard on April 1, and 199,561 with the Army Reserve. The active component total for the end of March includes 4,321 West Point cadets, which is 32 fewer than in February and 45 fewer than in January. The number of women serving on active duty April 1 stood at 69,171, a total that includes 15,654 officers, 52,698 enlisted soldiers and 819 West Point cadets. The female population of the Regular Army was reduced by 340 members in March.

How Do We Prove that the UN Is Preparing to Take Over America? Understanding the Nature of Intelligence Information By Dave Hodges

To my friends and colleagues in the Independent Media, the following revelation is extremely simplistic. However, we have reached a time in the present course of events, that the general public, who is fast becoming an important source of information, needs to be minimally educated about the general nature on how we in the media frequently reach conclusions for the stories that we write and how we ascribe credibility. In my work with both the general public’s anecdotal observations that they share with the Quayles’ and the Hagmanns’ of the intelligence reporting world, to the direct revelations of insider sources, the art form known as intelligence gathering is complex and takes special skill to accumulate into an intelligible story or event. Open Source vs. Closed Source Information The world of intelligence gathering is a very complex process. Some people in the world of intelligence gathering, to be used a data/trend fathering tool is also not a perfect science. However, there are some elements of the process that one can generally count on. With regard to intelligence information, called open source intelligence information, is readily available to the public, if one knows where to look and how to interpret data in a current context as well an historical context. Although nobody knows for sure, but open source information may account for as much as 75 to 80% of all intelligence information. In this regard many of us in the media, who work this side of the street for data, will evaluate reasonable sounding intelligence information which is grass roots (i.e. anecdotal). With the advent of the Internet, open source information is becoming increasingly timely and accurate. In fact, Steve Quayle even created his “Q-Alerts” page with regard to this phenomenon and many of the revelations have led to stories of importance. Many times when I am approached by a person with critical information, they will refer me to open source intelligence information in order to stay out trouble by not revealing classified information that is not publicly available. Some will use open source information to validate the unauthorized release of “protected” information as well. The hardest part about intelligence information, other than vetting the intelligence source and the existence of possible ulterior motives connected to the release of information, is the connecting of dots and trying to establish a time frame for what is coming based upon what is already known. Why am I revealing this very small broad brush information? Because I believe that our American political events are so fluid and in some cases so dangerous, that anyone with any persistence and desire will stumble upon open source intelligence information which could prove valuable in terms of exposure to stop the event, or to predict where an event is headed. The average person does not have the background, experience or know-how to decipher these events. Therefore, it is critical that the Internet become alive with information that can be used by people with the experience to validate and distribute the information, often as a preventative measure based upon exposure. This process of using anecdotal information works so well that every totalitarian government pays “snitch” fees to its citizens for information leading to arrest of political dissidents. We, in the Independent Media need to take advantage of the millions of news eyes coming on to the battleground of information. In America, we are experiencing a change in consciousness because of the Trump campaign. Millions have come to realize that we are being ruled by a banking mafia who cares nothing about the country and the people who inhabit our country. The banking mafia is inextricably intertwined with our top military brass, executive branch leaders and most importantly, the alphabet soup intelligence agencies. If you want to know what the major threats are to your way of life and even longevity, gaining closed and open sourced intelligence information is critical to that end. As an individual trying to determine how serious is the coming threats to you and your family, please realize that the undeterred goal of the criminal elite is to maximize profits, gain social and political power and to protect these profits by seizing the centers of power for the purposes of protecting future profits. It is along these lines, that I bring the reader following examples of what has been written here: A Holocaust in the Making There are two consistent themes that are dominating critical information in the Independent Media and they are GUN CONFISCATION AND FEMA CAMP INCARCERATION FOR POLITICAL DISSIDENTS. Both of these connected events must be employed by the criminal elite before they can remove the last strong country in preparation for rolling in the New World Order. America is a nation consisting of 150 million gun owners with 300 million guns. This is an obstacle that the criminal elite must immediately attend to. FEMA camp incarcerations is an intimidating move designed to get gun owners to capitulate before being sent away to the camps. Sources of Information Paul Martin is a loyal and trusted friend and colleague. He has, in the past, provided me with information, allegedly primary, closed source data of a general nature. The purpose of Paul’s disclosure is to allow the media the opportunity to validate the information with publicly available intelligence information. Yesterday, Paul communicated to me that our time of not being under martial is very short. He was advised by his covert, primary source to carry supplies and protection if one was going to travel in their car, farther than they could walk home. He was also told that based on troop movements, etc., that July could prove to a decisive time in this regard. For the purpose of this illustration, I will consider the Martin revelation to be closed and classified information. Is there any way to begin to prove/disprove Paul Martin’s source? First, the source has established credibility. He previously reported that banks were experiencing bank liquidity issues and people could begin to have trouble gaining access to their money. Within the last month, I have 43 anecdotal accounts from citizens who have trouble withdrawing moderate amounts of cash from their bank. I am one of these anecdotal sources. Secondly, I published a story about how the new Goldman Sachs online bank is going to usher in bail-ins (open source intelligence information). I knew that the reports of bail-ins are likely, because restricting cash outflow would become a prerequisite to bail-ins because the criminal elite would want all cash under their control. This also goes hand in hand with my previous reports of G20 money policies which declare your money to the property of the bank when you deposit your money into what you erroneously through was your bank account. In a connecting the dot exercise, bank bail-ins would likely be a prerequisite to civil unrest and the need for martial law. As an aside, I feel compelled to state that these event speak to the need to buy storage food and precious metal as a hedge to your soon-to-be-gone cash in your bank accounts. Yesterday, I wrote an article where I compared the fact that Australian leaders are employing soldiers from Singapore to employ martial law in the same manner that the US is preparing to do with the United Nations with regard to the UN Small Arms Treaty, illegally signed by Kerry, as well as the Strong Cities Initiative in which 192 American cities are being turned into 192 cities under UN control. All of the documents associated with the UN takeover of the US, are open source information documents, which are readily available to the public. What about the FEMA camps? Despite the denials, the FEMA camps are the worst kept secret and Paul’s source is correct in that these facilities will be used to house dissident Americans (see FM 39.4 as one of a dozen examples of open source information). What about gun confiscation that Paul Martin’s source alluded to in the near future? If nothing else, the UN Small Arms Treaty (open source documents) brings this point home. And certainly foreign troops will do the job that American troops will not do. I would say that Paul Martin’s source deserves strong consideration for his claims. Conclusion In short, we need an Army of reporters in order to prepare for, or counter what is coming. My hope is that this document will help improve some of the reporting skills in to more usable data. In the next several days, I am going to be publishing a number of stories which highlight these points.

The question may be even more important than how much food and ammo you have stocked up, where you plan to retreat or how much money you have thrown into power generators and emergency utilities. For preppers, the question is essentially important. Just as you can’t go advertising the supplies and contingencies you have carefully planned for, you can’t bunker up with just anybody. Sad as it is, many neighbors and even family members will not be reliable partners in survival, and may not be trustworthy in a crisis either. At the same time, finding the right core group of people that can build a trusted community may be the only way to cover all the ground that must be covered in an aftermath or underground economy. The balance is very delicate indeed. Not everyone will agree, but perhaps preparations and a similar mindset are not the only factors that will ultimately determine survival, and may prove to be less important that the types of people you will bunker down with. Will you survive with the kind of people you would actually want to live your life around? Chris Duane of Silver Shield Exchange and Dunagun Kaiser of Reluctant Preppers discuss this pivotal question. It is a short but worthy conversation to consider: Dunagun Kaiser explains: “And that’s going to be really instrumental to the folks up here been getting a lot of prepping tips is that – and we’ve talked about that before – that networking with others that are in a community with mutual support, having the ability to really support each other from a life sustainability standpoint, whether it is local food producers, people who know how to repair and fix things, people who can help you with protection, if that’s necessary, that sort of thing.” Chris Duane discusses his point of view about the character of the people you choose to trust and depend upon: “Here’s another mistake that I think preppers or other people tend to think. They don’t need to see the world the way that you do. You don’t need to convince them that this is coming. And they could be completely blind about everything that we’re dealing with. You need to find what’s in their soul. Are they good people? Maybe they’re your local police officer. God knows I have enough people in the police and the military that are completely blind to all the things I talk about, but I know at the end of the day they would lay down their lives for me, because they’re good people.” Word of the day: Prepare! And do it the old fashion way, like our fore-fathers did it and succeed long before us, because what lies ahead of us will require all the help we can get. Watch this video and learn the 3 skills that ensured our ancestors survival in hard times of famine and war. “Just because they’re kind of lost in the sauce, you can’t really blame them because all of humanity is really lost in the sauce. So you don’t really need to find the people who totally agree with you on what’s coming. Find the good people that are around you and really get to know them. Don’t try to convert them; they’ll come along, trust me, when the time is right. And even the people who do get what’s going on, I’m not so sure a lot of those guys aren’t psychopaths. I’ve know a lot of people inside the awakened community that I get creeped out even talking to them because of where they’re going. So, try not to do it on a who is prepped and who is not prepped; really try to find out what kind of soul, what kind of consciousness, what kind of morality… Are they family people? Are they empathetic? These are things I really think people should look for.” Many of those who are aware politically and in preparedness may still lack the morals and ethics that you share and can rely upon. What if someone in your group tries to take over? Or take the power of life into their own hands? How well do you really know them? At the same time, you can’t let everyone know about your preps, and you can’t count of decent people to remain decent when they become desperate in a crisis. Are you prepared? Have you surrounded yourself with the right people?

France Fumes Over Leaked Documents on Transatlantic Trade Deal Talks

By Fayçal Benhassain | May 5, 2016 | 8:08 PM EDT

(CNSNews.com) – The leaking of hundreds of pages of negotiating texts for an ambitious U.S.-European Union free-trade agreement is continuing to make waves in France and elsewhere in Europe, just days after President Obama expressed confidence that a deal – a key goal of his administration – is within reach. Already skeptical politicians and others see the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) documents leaked by the environmental group Greenpeace as confirming fears that the agreement would not be good for Europe. French President Francois Hollande responded to the leaks by saying he would not support the TTIP as it stands. The minister responsible for foreign trade and France’s representative in the negotiations, Mathias Fekl, stated that a decision to stop the negotiations was the only option at this stage. “No agreement can be taken without France and much less against France,” he said, in reference to the fact all 28 E.U. members will have to support the final deal before it can enter into force. First announced in June 2013, the TTIP aims to turn the U.S. and E.U. into the largest free-trade area in the world. In France it is often known as the Transatlantic Free Trade Area (TAFTA). The 248 pages of confidential documents leaked this week provide a glimpse of the current status of the secretive talks between European and American negotiators. Among other details, the secret memo reveals that Americans are pushing to increase oil and gas exploration through the process of fracking and other methods. Fracking is banned in France, Germany and several other European countries. Other aspects of the negotiations not acceptable for the French include issues in the agricultural sector. France does not want American wine producers to use names of famous French wine regions, such as Champagne, Bourgogne and Chablis for their products. French farmers and officials are also against genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which are forbidden in France. European regulations on such products are stricter than those in the U.S., and the leaked documents suggest huge disagreements between the E.U. – mainly France – and the U.S. on these matters. Greenpeace France managing director Jean-François Julliard said in a television interview that the documents “confirmed what [critics] feared.” “The treaty will put the interests of big business and trade before environmental and health concerns,” he said, giving as an example U.S. proposals to increase the import to Europe of hormone-fed beef and pork products. On a visit to Germany late last month, Obama was greeted by anti-TTIP protests and in a joint press conference with Chancellor Angela Merkel voiced strong support for the deal, saying that “the E.U. and the United States must press ahead with the TTIP.” Merkel, too, expressed support, saying the deal “is good for the German economy, which is good for the whole European economy as well” – although German Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel sounded far more dubious. Just after the negotiations started in 2013, around 100 French celebrities, including actors, writers and musicians launched a campaign against the TTIP, arguing that it would lower economic standards and allow the entry of GMO products from the U.S. The TTIP does have supporters in France, however. Last month MEDEF, a lobbying network for 750,000 companies, organized a conference on the “myths” and “reality” of the agreement, with politicians and business people on both sides of the argument invited to take part. The U.S. ambassador to the World Trade Organization, Michael Punke, was also invited to speak in support of the TTIP. In general MEDEF and its members see the deal as an opportunity for French businesses to get into the U.S. market. They also say it will help raise growth and employment in the country, at a time when the European economy remains weak. Many TTIP critics here are waiting to see what further information emerges from the talks – there have been 14 rounds of negotiations so far. But it seems clear their struggle against the deal will pick up steam as more details are revealed.

94,044,000 Americans Not in the Labor Force

Labor force non-participation jumped by more than 500,000 in one month

BY: Ali Meyer May 6, 2016 10:00 am

There were 94,044,000 Americans not participating in the labor force in April, an increase of 562,000 individuals from the previous month, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics released Friday. Those not in the labor force represent individuals who do not have a job and did not actively seek one in the past four weeks. Overall, the labor force participation rate, which is the percentage of the population who has a job or actively looked for one in the past month, declined from 63.0 percent in March to 62.8 percent in April. Similarly for women 16 years and over, the number of those not active in the labor force increased. There were 56,472,000 women not in the labor force in April, an increase of 337,000 from the previous month. Their participation rate declined from 57.0 percent in March to 56.8 percent in April. There were 5,962,000 Americans working part-time in April, but not by choice. According to the bureau, involuntary part-time workers are “persons who indicated that they would like to work full time but were working part time (1 to 34 hours) because of an economic reason, such as their hours were cut back or they were unable to find full-time jobs.” The unemployment rate for all Americans remained steady at 5.0 percent in April. This measure does not account for those individuals who have dropped out of the labor force. The unemployment rate simply measures the percent of those who did not have a job but actively sought one over the month. The “real” unemployment rate, otherwise known as the U-6 measure, was 9.7 percent, which declined from 9.8 percent from the previous month. Some Democrats such as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) and Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen have said that this measure is more representative of the labor market because it accounts for discouraged workers and those working part time instead of full time for economic reasons. The Job Creators Network, a nonpartisan organization, uses the bureau’s data to calculate a measure that would take into account those who have dropped out of the labor force altogether since the Great Recession. They say the real unemployment rate is 9.6 percent, which controls for the historic post-recession drop in the labor force participation rate. Before the recession began, in December of 2007, the labor force participation rate was 66 percent, and today it has dropped to 62.8 percent. “Today’s unemployment rate of 5.0 percent overlooks the millions of Americans who have dropped out of the labor force altogether during the so-called economic recovery,” said Alfredo Ortiz, president and CEO of the Job Creators Network. “To truly get the labor market going again, we must bring small businesses back by reducing the taxation, regulation, and barriers to credit that reduce their ability to expand and hire.”

THE WAR ON CASH: Larry Summers Calls for the Ban on All Notes Above $50

The war on cash continues. Former US Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, who appears to be leading the global ground attack on cash, is out with an op-ed in the Financial Times commending the EU for their move to halt the production of 500EU notes. He is now calling for Switzerland to stop production of the 1,000 Swiss franc note: Most of the time I use this column to recommend policy changes that I believe would make the world a better place. This time I am saluting a policy change I believe will have significant benefits — one that carries with it important lessons. The decision of the European Central Bank last week to stop producing €500 notes permanently is a triumph of reasonable judgment over shameless fear mongering....High quality global journalism requires investment. First, the world should demand that Switzerland stops issuing SFr1,000 franc notes. After Europe’s bold step, these notes will stand out as the hard-currency world’s highest denomination note by a wide margin. Switzerland has a long and unfortunate history with illicit finance. It would be tragic if it were to profit from criminal currency substitution. Second, the question of the facilitation of criminal activity should be placed prominently on the agenda of the Group of 20 leading nations. It gets worse: There would be a strong case for stopping the production of notes with value greater than, perhaps, $50... The political criminal states that his reason for calling for the elimination of high denomination notes is to prevent non-political crime and, well. no one needs to use large amounts of cash anyway: There is little if any legitimate use for €500 notes. Carrying out a transaction with 20 €50 notes hardly seems burdensome — and this would represent more than $1,000 in purchasing power. Meanwhile, 20 €200 notes would represent close to $5,000 in purchasing power. Who in today’s world needs cash for a legitimate $5,000 transaction?... By contrast with normal commerce, €500 notes have an important role facilitating illicit activity... A cashless society is a very bad idea. It would mean a society where the government would be able to track all our transactions---and thus control activities, Summers' aggressive advocacy that is moving the world toward a cashless society makes him one of the most evil economists living today.

Listen carefully, ponder the words that I say unto you, for many things are going to take place now and you need to be prepared for those things.  Beware of the announcement of the ship that comes from Japan with a bomb.  Beware of the bookend effect on both west coast and east coast that will cause a gigantic earthquake that will affect the center, the center of the states.  Purchase a natural gas or a propane gas generator a hundred watts or larger that can be wired in that you may have your water supply.

FEMA Prepares For West Coast Carnage As New Madrid Awakening And Mount St. Helen's Shaking Are More Signs That 'Imminent Destruction May Be Coming Soon'

May 11, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

Beginning in less than a month on June 7th and lasting until June 10th, FEMA and Cascadia Rising 2016 are preparing for a devastating earthquake followed by a tsunami on the Northwest Coast of America that has scientists and other experts asking not IF it will come, but WHEN it will come. As we learn from Gary Franchi of the Next News Network in the 1st video below, FEMA is also now preparing for 10,000 deaths along the Northwest Coast of America in the region of the Cascadia Subduction Zone due to the quake and the resulting tsunami. We're told that Cascadia Rising will be the most complex disaster scenario that emergency management and public safety officials have ever faced and the drills will feature preparation for a 9.0 magnitude quake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone and the resulting tsunami that experts believe will devastate much of the Northwest Coast. We also learn below that scientists believe it's inevitable that America will be hit by absolutely monstrous earthquakes, and possibly in our near future, as shared in the linked story from Michael Snyder at End Of The American Dream. Just days ago we learned from scientists that Mount St Helens volcano is 'recharging' 36 years after the most deadly volcanic blast in 'modern' US history. We're told that the volcano's replenished magma stores have been responsible for setting of a series of earthquakes, more than 130 small magnitude quakes since March with steadily increasing frequency. As previously reported on ANP, experts have recently warned that the US is getting ready to rumble with the San Andreas fault area allegedly 'locked and loaded' and ready for action with the 'springs wound tight'. According to The Pacer, UTM's award-winning college newspaper, the recent small earthquake in the New Madrid seismic zone may be a sign that imminent destruction is coming soon. They have a very keen interest in this as their college is well within the New Madrid Seismic zone. From their story.: If an event like the ones in 1811 and 1812 happened today, UTM and the city of Martin would not be safe from it. Certainly, buildings would suffer damage. Many would probably fall. People could get injured or killed. There is a high possibility that surviving citizens would be left without running water, electricity, or the ability to communicate via cell phones or the internet. The roads could be damaged by the event, so transportation is not a given luxury. Citizens in need of help might not receive assistance from police, hospitals, or government agencies for a long time, depending on the availability of resources. That is especially true if relief efforts focus on larger population centers than Martin, such as Memphis or Nashville. Because the affected areas were so rural and so thinly populated during the 1811-1812 events, the damage and death toll of the earthquakes were minimal compared with what could happen now. “Very large quakes (8-9 moment magnitude) would be extremely devastating to the point of being ‘catastrophic.’ If the 1811-12 tremors were to occur today, with our increased population, cities, and dependence on technology and transportation, the result would probably be the worst natural disaster in American history. The 1811-12 quakes were felt from Canada to Mexico. We are in the middle of the country, so a quake of that proportion would affect all of the country to some degree, even if they didn’t actually feel the quake,” Gibson said. As we hear in the 2nd video below, governments across the planet are preparing for massive earthquakes recently, especially in the US and Canada along the West coast. What do they know that we don't know? In the 3rd video below, we hear more about what is now happening underneath Mount St. Helen's, a series of small quakes that are could be looked at as more signs of what FEMA and Cascadia Rising are preparing for in that region. In the 4th video below, we get more 'Signs of the End' from YouTube videographer Angel of Apocalypse. First, from the Cascadia Rising website: June 7-10, 2016 Emergency Operations and Coordination Centers (EOC/ECCs) at all levels of government and the private sector will activate to conduct a simulated field response operation within their jurisdictions and with neighboring communities, state EOCs, FEMA, and major military commands. Conducting successful life-saving and life-sustaining response operations in the aftermath of a Cascadia Subduction Zone disaster will hinge on the effective coordination and integration of governments at all levels – cities, counties, state agencies, federal officials, the military, tribal nations – as well as non-government organizations and the private sector. One of the primary goals of Cascadia Rising is to train and test this whole community approach to complex disaster operations together as a joint team. Recent subduction zone earthquakes around the world underscore the catastrophic impacts we will face when the next CSZ earthquake and tsunami occurs in our region: Indonesia (2004): M9.1 --- 228,000 fatalities Chile (2010): M8.8 --- 500 fatalities Japan (2011): M9.0 --- 18,000 fatalities The Cascadia Subduction Zone off the coast of North America spans from northern California to southern British Columbia. This subduction zone can produce earthquakes as large as magnitude 9 and corresponding tsunamis. Scientific evidence indicates that a magnitude 8.0-9.0 earthquake occurs along the 800-mile long fault on average once every 200 to 500 years. The last major earthquake and tsunami along the fault occurred over 300 years ago in 1700. Will America soon be hit by a devastating earthquake unlike anything that we've seen in this country in years? The signs of impending catastrophe are clearly all around us. With FEMA preparing for a massive quake and the resultant tsunami along the Northwest coast of America, we feel that it's best that we all take similar preparations. Even though preparing for an earthquake involves differering elements than preparing for other catastrophes, food, water and shelter are always top priorities no matter what catastrophe we're preparing for. As Snyder told us in his story, one team of scientists has concluded that giant chunks of the Earth’s mantle are “breaking off and sinking into the planet” under the North American plate, and that this is what has caused some of the unusual earthquakes in the eastern part of the country in recent years. While quite obviously, having food, water and shelter won't protect us from our country breaking apart and falling into 'inner Earth', Snyder reminds us that the chances of that actually happening are rather small no matter how ominous it might sound. Certainly an event of that magnitude would be Biblical and a final, devastating 'sign of the end'.

Rancher Cliven Bundy Sues President Obama, Harry Reid Over 'Cruel' Treatment

by Erik Ortiz May 10 2016, 6:19 pm ET

Jailed cattle rancher Cliven Bundy claims President Barack Obama, Nevada Sen. Harry Reid and others have stifled his constitutional rights as he sits in solitary confinement on charges stemming from a 2014 federal standoff, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday. Bundy, 70, is seeking $50 million for the "illegal, unconstitutional, intentional and malicious acts" of the defendants, and wants an indictment against him quashed and his immediate release from jail in Portland, Oregon. Bundy added that he's been in solitary since his arrest earlier this year — which constitutes "cruel and unusual punishment," claims the suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Nevada. Bundy also wants federal Judge Gloria Navarro, named as another defendant, removed from the criminal case and for politically conservative attorney Larry Klayman to help defend him in Nevada. The cowboy hat-wearing Bundy became a national figure — and hero in some conservative corners — when he led an armed confrontation against federal rangers over a land dispute in his home state of Nevada. The father of 14 — along with his posse of supporters — clashed with the rangers who tried to execute a court order to confiscate 500 of his cattle after they were illegally grazing on public land and he failed to pay $1 million in grazing fees. Related: Judge Keeps Cliven Bundy in Jail, Citing a History of Resistance Bundy, who has pleaded not guilty, was indicted for inciting the standoff, along with two of his sons and two others. The complaint lays out a conspiracy against Bundy perpetrated by Obama, Reid, Navarro and Reid's son, Rory Reid, who unsuccessfully ran for Nevada governor in 2010. Navarro "has shown her true intentions and bias and prejudice, rising to the level of denying Sixth Amendment right of counsel and to a speedy trial to (Bundy), following the 'marching orders' of her benefactors Defendant Harry Reid and Obama," according to the suit. She is also described as a "Latino activist." Bundy alleges Reid used "the equivalent of federal storm-troopers" against Bundy's "peaceful cowboys," and that Reid wanted Bundy gone so that he could seize his land and then sell it to the Chinese. In the suit, Bundy also takes issue with Obama, who had alluded to the rancher in jokes that he made during the White House Correspondents' Dinner in May 2014. Amid the standoff, Bundy drew condemnation for referring to blacks as "the Negro" in a New York Times article and suggesting that they were "happier" under slavery than under current federal subsidy programs. The complaint says that Obama was "threatening, mocking and disparaging" Bundy just "days after (his) successful standoff." During his correspondents' dinner monologue, Obama said: "Michelle and I watched the Olympics — we cannot believe what these folks do — death-defying feats — haven't seen somebody pull a '180' like that fast since Rand Paul disinvited that Nevada rancher from this dinner." "As a general rule, things don't end well if the sentence starts, 'Let me tell you something I know about the negro,'" Obama continued. "You don't really need to hear the rest of it. Just a tip for you — don't start your sentence that way." Bundy is seeking a jury trial. The White House did not immediately comment on the lawsuit, but Sen. Reid's office branded it as "baseless and absurd." "Bundy, his sons and their believers have endangered the lives of federal officers, have defaced and damaged public lands and squandered public resources for their own benefit. They are domestic terrorists," said Reid spokeswoman Kristen Orthman, offering a term the Democratic senator himself has used publicly. "They are deadly and dangerous and will be brought to justice." The rancher was arrested in February after flying from Nevada to Portland to join his sons, who were jailed for their role leading an armed occupation at a federal wildlife reserve in Oregon. Sons Ammon and Ryan Bundy have pleaded not guilty and face conspiracy charges along with 14 others stemming from the 41-day occupation that began Jan. 2. One armed protester was killed when federal agents stopped a caravan of the occupiers during a traffic stop.

Baghdad car bomb: Isis claims responsibility for attack in busy market that killed at least 50

By Alex Wheeler May 11, 2016 12:23 BST

A car bomb in the Shia Muslim district of Sadr City, Baghdad, has killed at least 50 people and wounded more than 60 others, although police officials say there are fears the death toll may rise. The explosion has since been claimed by Islamic State (Isis), with their report backed up by the Amaq news agency. Karim Salih, a 45-year old grocer, told AP that the bomb was a pick-up truck loaded with fruits and vegetables, parked by a man who quickly disappeared among the crowds of people. "It was such a thunderous explosion that it jolted the ground," Salih explained. According to sources, the truck exploded near a beauty salon within a busy market area during rush hour. Most of the victims were women. The attack comes after the ultra-hardline Sunni Jihardist group conducted a twin suicide bomb in the same area, Sadr City, in February, killing 70 people.

Plan B To Stop the Trump Movement Is In Effect

By Dave Hodges

The vast majority of us in the Independent Media are thrilled that Donald Trump is the “presumptive” nominee for the GOP in the upcoming Presidential race. However, as I privately speak to my media colleagues, to some degree, we all have the same foreboding. What should be a time of celebration combined with the hard work of getting ready for the challenges of getting ready to defeat the American Hitler of our time, Hillary Clinton, we instead are worried about what is coming. I knew the moments that Trump appears to have won, that our real challenges would come our way. It is in that perspective that I figured out why Donald Trump has not been assassinated as was RFK at his high water mark. Magically, and perhaps spiritually Trump has united a country around not accepting leadership that doesn’t put Americans first. This means stopping the devastating impacts of free trade agreements, stopping the inherent dangers associated with an unsupervised refugee-resettlement program, etc., etc. The lead up to the primary nomination process made me fully realize how much “we the people” have become “we the Godless corporations” our country and government have become. I am shocked that so many people don’t believe, or understand, how the globalist/corporate interests which run in opposition to the American middle class are not going to go away. They are going to fight to keep what they have already won. They have not killed Donald Trump, because the nation is now filled with millions of Donald Trumps. Even if you do not support Donald Trump, if you are an American who supports “America first” kind of rehotric and are a member of any traditional part of the middle class, you are an enemy of the state and if the criminal elite get their way, you and yours will be done away with. Our Modern-Day Shot Heard Around the World Prior to the full outbreak of hostilities which lead to the American Revolution, the British did what any occupying force would do, they tried to seize the guns from the disgruntled colonists. The British were only interested in taking guns and killing any opposition to that endeavor. Today, America is fast approaching a new “Lexington and Concord”, but this Lexington and Concord is not going impact two villages. It is going to threaten every man, woman and child in the country. However, the globalists have shown their hand. They are after a lot more than our guns. They are after our way of life, our institutions, our faith in God and if we do not conform to their flavor of tyranny, they are after us. Massive military movements continue and this process seems totally independent of the Trump movement. Perhaps these massive military equipment maneuvers are mere preparations for World War III and they are not meant to be used against the American people. However, the abovementioned does not explain away the UN vehicles that are present on our soil. The United Nations Is positioning for the takeover of the United States. These kinds of pictures are still being taken all across our Southern underbelly. Sometimes a picture is worth a 1000 words. Traitor John Kerry, illegally signed the unconstitutional UN Small Arms Treaty which gave UN forces the authority to resurrect a multitude of new Lexington and Concords. This is coming, our enslavers are not going to let Trump and his people just grab the reigns of power. They are going to fight and anyone who does not understand this is naive. The movie, Amerigeddon, to be released on May 13, captures a wide-cross-section of the threats facing the American people in the midst of the populist revolution we find ourselves in. Who Comprises the Forces of Evil? This an easy and uncomplicated question to answer: All Fortune 500 corporations and their banks who make money off of free trade agreements and illegal immigration. The same corporations that have a stranglehold on our health care (19% of the economy). The corrupt politicians at any level of government who receive bribes (i.e. campaign donations) to look the other way as to what is happening to the country. The media, whose job it is to propagandize the people into a state of absolute confusion so they are powerless to act in unison. Their main focus is to prevent the pre-condition of revolution from occurring, namely a universal shift in consciousness. This is something that the media has failed to accomplish in opposition to the Trump populist movement. When Trump won in Indiana, on May 3rd, the Trump opposition forces appeared to have raised the white flag in unison. The GOP leadership declared Trump the winner. Even Megyn Kelly began to praise the virtues of the Trump family. The Indiana results were not that pivotal if the GOP was fully intent on stealing the election. Why the change of heart? Today, it seems that nearly everyone connected to the nomination process is endorsing Trump, except for a few, like the Hillary Clinton of the GOP, Paul Ryan. Somebody flipped a switch… Victory was too easy and most of the bad guys “coincidentally” quit at the same tie. There was a lot more that could be done to force a brokered convention and steal the nomination. It was like all the “bad guys” quit on the same day because they have a Plan B! This is no coincidence. Plan B Is In Effect The sudden cessation of hostilities by the power brokers can only be explained by the fact that they have embraced a strategy that they feel will defeat this brand of Trump-inspired populism once and for all and stealing the nomination is no longer the line in the sand. What will this new plan consist of? Will it be a false flag which will be used as a form martial law control? I cannot say what the criminal elite have up their sleeves. However, we can bet on the fact that whatever is coming is designed to preserve the status quo. The only thing we can say for sure, is that their plan will require the use of the military and foreign troops to enforce any dictate. An Age-Old Question Will there be anybody who can defend the American people? Of can we count on the fact that the American military has been co-opted by the globalist forces. After all, on Monday, Secretary of State Kerry told graduates at Northeastern University, to be prepared to live in a borderless world. Is this game over? What will the military do when the proverbial poop hits the fan this summer? Will they side with our oppressors, or will they defend the American people? There were two recent polls taken of the political preferences of the today’s military and the results, from an American perspective, are encouraging. Interpretation of Results From a strictly American citizen perspective, these results are music to our ears. On one side, the forces of American enslavement (i.e. Clinton and Sanders) are overwhelmingly the least preferred option of would-be military voters. Trump’s brand of America first values are favored by more than a 2 to 1 ratio. The study’s participants consisted of about two thirds enlisted and one-third were officers. This is even better news because those giving orders are more likely to not fire on American citizens. Conclusion I would like nothing better than to come before you and tell you that all we have to do is win an election and America will be great again. However, we are facing an enemy that is determined to protect what they have already stolen from the American people. I believe that the globalist minion forces will fight to the death. If we are unwilling to do the same, we will be wearing their bootprints on our collective faces. Yet, in this soon-to-be-winner-take-all, if we oppose the coming takeover, we will be facing the civil war to end all civil wars. I know that there are those who believe that this i fear mongering. For these observations to be fear mongering, they you would have to believe that the criminal elite will suddenly acquiesce to the will of the people in the name of following the Constitution. I ask you, which is the bigger fairy tale? You better get ready because this coming train wreck is already in motion.

It Has Begun! Anonymous Launches 'Op Icarus' To Bring Down The Banks As 'Perfect Storm' Brews - 'Expect An Event Before The Election - They're Running Out Of Time'

May 10, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

Just in time to help bring down the current system and bring in a 'new world order', the 'Anonymous Collective' cyberhackers have launched "Operation Icarus", a month-long series of attacks upon the global banking system with specific focus upon the Central Banks worldwide. Seemingly in lockstep, preparations are also taking place in New York and elsewhere across the country for massive terror attacks, including the Department of Homeland Security releasing a 'non-poisonous gas' into the New York city subway system in a 'bioterrorism drill' happening this week. According to YouTube videographer TruthUnveiled777 in the 1st video below, in the past few weeks alone we've been hearing about more and more cyber attacks worldwide, including upon the banks and a possible massive attack upon our electrical grid that could send us back to the dark ages. Should we really be concerned or is all of this just 'hype'? As YouTube videographer Dave from the X22Report tells us in the 2nd video below, since nothing has gone right recently for the globalists in their attempt to bring in their 'new world order' and with Assad still in power in Syria, he expects 'an event' to happen sometime this summer and definitely before the election. "As the economy falls apart" we're warned, "they're running out of time." Telling us that during the 'event' he warns of, Barack Obama will likely declare a state of emergency and implement all of the executive orders that he has signed over the years preparing for just such an 'event', he also tells us it's not simply 'coincidence' that all of this is happening at this time. "All of this is coming together at exactly the same time; we're headed for a perfect storm" Dave exclaims. A recent story from The Atlantic tells us that after ISIS, Americans are most concerned about a global cyber-war that attacks our banking system or electrical grid. A story from the Daily Mail days ago told us that 2 out of every 3 big businesses suffered a cyber-attack within the last year. From Reuters we recently learned that hackers have just stolen $81 million from a Bangladesh Central Bank account at the NY Federal Reserve Bank as seen in the 'money trail' image above; how many more such attacks until they bring down the entire system? Is that the plan? As most ANP readers already know and as we learn in both the 1st and 2nd videos, what we are being told by the mainstream media and the current administration about what is happening in the world should never be trusted at face value. As many Americans now know, when drills are held such as the one now being held in the NY subway system, they provide the perfect cover opportunity for false flags to be carried out such as the drills that were ongoing on 9/11. In the first video, our videographer puts the pieces of the puzzle together and tells us why it's looking more and more likely that they're preparing to send America back to the dark ages with an EMP or cyber attack that shuts down the grid....also discussed are the recent threats by Anonymous against the global banking system and the subsequent attacks. "It has begun" we are told. As we learn in the 2nd video from the X22Report, the clock is running out on the 'new world order' and practically any kind of massive event is now on the table if it allows them to accomplish their goals of neutering America and implementing global govt. In the final video below, TheAnonMessage tells us all about Operation Icarus and their plans to bring down the Central Banks worldwide. The 'World Banking Cartel' master target list as published by Anonymous on PasteBin can be seen below videos in full and is basically a 'who's who' in the banking world. We also thought it interesting that Anonymous chose the name "Op Icarus" for this operation, understanding the Greek mythology of Icarus, who, due to hubris, flew too close to the sun, melting his wings and falling into the sea. The message left by Anonymous in the 3rd video below is as follows.: Greetings world, We are Anonymous. It has been said that humanity is not an end in itself but rather a means to an end. We have shown the World our strength to deny ignorance, overcome adversity, fight oppression and even the power to throw a wrench in the system that perpetuates it. We are enslaved within a matrix of institutions with the illusion that each stands alone, fighting for power, for profits, for the scraps on the table that represent humanities dwindling resources. In reality however, these institutions - the arms industries, banking and other financial institutions, government intelligence agencies and countless others, have formed what was once a clandestine coalition whose corruption, and avarice have become increasingly transparent due to WikiLeaks and to the efforts of Anonymous. This coalition seeks the preservation and the perpetuation of the powers that be, and this octopus operates through the tentacles of the IMF, the Federal Reserve, and the World Bank, masterminded by think-tanks such as the Bilderberg group, and the Council on Foreign Relations. The puppets of the powers that be include the president of the United States and his cabinet, and through them they are able to repress the freedom of information, and with it the free and open exchange of ideas which are fundamental to the existence and operations of Anonymous, and the ability to see beyond the veil of secrecy from which the powers that be stand behind. But where does the power behind the throne lie? Within the global financial system, centered within the New York Stock Exchange, and Bank of England. We are anonymous. We are legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Operation Icarus, engaged. Expect us. Will we soon witness a 'massive event' in America that will be used to cripple our Republic and bring America to our knees? As we learn in these videos, the global elite are quickly falling out of power here in America with the rise of Trump threatening their 'new world order' and the 'grand awakening' taking place around the world. Knowing the globalists sordid history of endless war upon much of the world, we'd be fools if we simply expect them to bow out quietly without launching at least one final series of false flag attacks upon the West in a last gasp attempt to officially and permanently bring in their dictatorial and totalitarian 'new world order'. To close, from John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute in his most recent story, "American Horror Story: The Shameful Truth About The Government's Secret Experiments": Fool me once, shame on you. “You” in this case is the government that keeps violating the sacred trust of its citizenry. Fool me twice, shame on me. “Me” in this case is the collective “we the people” who should have learned early on that a government that repeatedly lies, breaks the laws, overreaches its authority and abuses its power can’t be trusted. Fool me over and over and over again, shame on both of us. Shame on every politician, bureaucrat and technician who is a shill for the U.S. government’s abuses and lies, and shame on every gullible American who keeps buying into the government’s propaganda, believing that it has our best interests at heart. Unfortunately, as I point out in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, the government has seldom had our best interests at heart. In other words, we are citizens of a government that has dehumanized us and reduced us to little more than faceless numbers, statistics and economic units. What’s in it for the government? Money and power. Or as John Lennon summed it up, “I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I’m liable to be put away as insane for expressing that.”

Trump is Free to Throw Mud on Clinton-Catherine Austin Fitts

By Greg Hunter On May 10, 2016 By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com

Former Bush Administration (41) Assistant Secretary of Housing, Catherine Austin Fitts, says this presidential election will be most painful for Hillary Clinton. Fitts explains, “Here’s the thing, Clinton has never had to answer for the real deal issues and dirt on the Clintons. Here’s what’s interesting. One of the reasons the Clintons never had to answer is so much of it was done with the Bush family and the Republican establishment. They were really partners in many of the things they did. Before the campaign, Roger Stone came out with a book on the Bushes and a book on the Clintons. It was sort of a compendium on all the real deal dirt. That’s now in the body politic. The second thing we see is George H.W. Bush, W. Bush and Jeb Bush all come out and say they are not going to back Trump. That means Trump is free to throw the mud, and it will hit the Clintons, but it will splatter all over the Bushes. Now, Trump is free to go.” Fitts goes on to say, “It really comes down to where the military and the intelligence agencies stand on this. If he can get enough support in the military and intelligence agencies, I think Trump can win. Trump is ahead in polls in the military two to one.” On the economy, Fitts, who is also an investment banker, says, “People are saying where do I put my cash that is safe from the game of musical chairs? I don’t think the problem is it’s all going to collapse. We are going to get liquidity hiccups, and chairs are going to get pulled. Some people are going to lose, and some people are going to win. . . . People who have borrowed money in currencies that they can’t print, Puerto Rico being one . . . that borrowed way more money than they can pay back, same with Detroit. You are going to have all these creditors, both countries, municipalities and companies who can’t pay back the debt . . . when their revenues are going down. . . . Some pensions are going to get killed. Some insurance companies are going to get killed because their model depends on a certain rate of interest, and they’re not getting it.” On gold, Fitts says, “Always have enough gold to bribe the border guards, that’s what I say. Gold is very volatile. This year, it’s been volatile to the upside, but we can still get another big down if we get into a deflation. I talk about an investment position and a core position. The core position is the gold you use to bribe the border guard. That’s central bank insurance. You don’t care what the price is. You need to make sure that for your core position, you are not worried about the price. If it goes down to $700, you are not worried, and if it flies up to $2,000, you are not going to get excited and sell it. It’s your core position, and you want ounces of gold or silver, and you don’t think about it as you would an investment position.” On the total fraud propping up every corner of the economy, Fitts says, “Here’s the problem with this situation, and it’s mind boggling. When you have an economy on a managed basis, and get this far away from a market economy, the problem is the primary trend in the dollar, bonds, stocks, and gold is . . . totally in question and can go either way. A lot of it is because you have a politically managed system and not a market economy. The more you politically manage it, the lower the productivity goes. So, it is really a house of cards. The money managers are looking at this, and they are very nervous and for good reason. A politically managed system is not as robust and healthy as one managed by market economics. . . . You have a failure of the political system to face and manage and deal with what is going on. . . . We have managed this system by being more and more and more secret. George H. W. Bush said the other day that the American people can’t handle the truth. I think they can handle the truth, and one of the reasons I am encouraged by Trump is he is going to start bringing more of it out. That’s what we need. It’s the only way we can get out of this. We are being killed by a politically managed system that is being driven by more and more privilege and more and more secrecy. We’ve got to go to transparency, and it’s going to be a very painful process for the American people. It’s not going to be pretty. The game of musical chairs is upon us. It’s not coming, it’s here.”

George W. Bush White House’s ‘Skull And Bones’ Files Due Out

May 10, 2016 by SkyWatch Editor

One of America’s most prestigious and storied secret societies, Yale University’s Skull and Bones, may be a little less secret if archivists at President George W. Bush’s presidential library in Dallas get their way. The secretive group of well-connected Yale seniors meets in a foreboding campus building called “the tomb” and is rumored to conduct macabre rituals (one persistent rumor holds that the Bones tomb contains the skull of Geronimo, among other occult objects). Over the years, the society has been the subject of several books as well as a “60 Minutes” segment. The group drew particular attention in the early 1990s, when Buckley and others went to court in an ultimately unsuccessful bid to keep the society from going co-ed, and in the 2004 election when Bush and Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry were both drawn from its ranks. (READ MORE)

Sadiq Khan warns Donald Trump’s ‘ignorant’ view of Islam could make Britain and US less safe

Extremist Sadiq Khan is London’s first Muslim mayor

Donald Trump’s “ignorant” view of Islam could make both Britain and the US less safe, new London Mayor Sadiq Khan has warned. Mr Khan, who is the city’s first Muslim mayor, has brushed aside the US presidential hopeful’s suggestion that he would exempt him from his proposed ban on Muslims entering the United States. The Republican presidential hopeful told the New York Times that he was happy to see Mr Khan elected, saying it could be “very, very good”. However the new mayor has hit back. “This isn’t just about me – it’s about my friends, my family and everyone who comes from a background similar to mine, anywhere in the world,” he said. Mr Khan added: “Donald Trump’s ignorant view of Islam could make both of our countries less safe – it risks alienating mainstream Muslims around the world and plays into the hands of extremists. Donald Trump and those around him think that Western liberal values are incompatible with mainstream Islam – London has proved him wrong.” Although saying if Muslims are seen to be discriminated against will mean they will cause violence will actually make Mr Trumps resolution stronger as extremist Mr Sadiq thinks that peaceful Islam just needs an excuse for violence the excuse being it does not get it owns way. This is typical in Muslim countries of which he knows a lot about. Mr Trump has vowed a “total and complete” temporary shutdown of America’s borders to Muslims following last December’s deadly attack in San Bernardino by a husband and wife team who swore loyalty to swearing loyalty to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil). The Republican candidate has stuck rigidly to his proposed ban despite an international outcry and an online petition, debated in Parliament after attracting more than half-a-million signatures, calling for Mr Trump to be barred from the UK in response. When asked by the New York Times how his proposed ban on Muslims would apply to Mr Khan, Mr Trump said: “There will always be exceptions.” Extremist Mr khan who thinks Mr Trump should not vet who comes into and out of his own country if they are Muslims threat of violence shows Mr Trump is spot on. Muslims BLOCK streets of London to demonstrate, BURN US flags and threaten

ISIS 'execute female Russian spy named Elvira after she infiltrated the group and set up the assassination of seven terrorists'

Alleged Russian government spy 'Elvira Karaeva' executed by ISIS

She infiltrated ISIS and worked as a spy for four years, terrorists say

The information she leaked to Russia caused deaths of seven jihadists

See more news on ISIS militants at www.dailymail.co.uk/isis 

By Sara Malm for MailOnline Published: 07:12 EST, 10 May 2016 | Updated: 10:36 EST, 10 May 2016

A Russian female 'spy' has been executed by ISIS after spending four years working undercover within the terror group, the jihadists have claimed. The woman, named as Elvira Karaeva, reportedly infiltrated an ISIS enclave in Russia's Caucasus region and spent years leaking information which led to the assassinations of seven fighters. She reportedly gave Russian intelligence services informations about terrorist fighters' identities, safe houses and military bases, ISIS claims. Her capture and subsequent execution was reported in ISIS's Russian-language blog called 'Istok', where she is accused of being an agent for Moscow intelligence. 'Elvira the apostate gave information to the Russian special services about our brothers and sisters waging jihad...in the Caucasus Province,' Fox News quotes the article as saying. 'She shamelessly wormed her way into confidence...and then disclosed their (jihadists) location and contacts, thus making them easy prey for the henchmen of taghut,' the article states. 'Because of her contemptible actions and close contacts with the FSB (Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation), many of our brothers and sisters became martyrs.' Karaeva, whose identity and alleged execution has not been confirmed by Moscow, was reportedly caught after ISIS got hold of audio during which she admits working for Russian intelligence. ISIS also accuses her of murdering her terrorist husband, Abu Muslim, using poison. The article claims that Karaeva was responsible for 'the martyrdom of six brothers and one sister; they are: Shakhbiev Adam, Abu Muslim, Amriev Artur, Gochiaev Biaslan, Totorkulov Temurlan, Dlugoborskiy Valentin, and Urusova Marina,'

Don’t Worry General, We Trust You

Six simple words, “Don’t worry General, we trust you.”

During the Gulf War in 1991, General Fred Franks, VII Corps commander spoke with several soldiers in the now deactivated, but once mighty, Third Armored Division. During the conversation, Franks appeared worried and tired. One of the soldiers looked at him and said, “Don’t worry General, we trust you.” Those six words spoke volumes about the state of the military in 1991 and speak volumes about the wretched state of the military in 2016. How many soldiers or Marines today would repeat those words to someone with stars on their shoulders? Sure, there are still a few tough, honest, brave senior leaders, but it’s more than obvious that the majority of the brass is more focused on protecting their sixes, aka their butts, than they are concerned about the troops, the institution and the nation they have sworn to protect. The military’s senior leaders and particularly, the Joint Chiefs of Staff have stood by during the last seven years and watched without uttering so much as a whimper as the Obama Administration destroyed the traditions, readiness and the warrior culture of the military. The lack of leadership, or moral fortitude and rectitude is reminiscent of the brass during the Vietnam War, which was selfish, careerist and which nearly decimated the US Army. The US Army that went home from Southeast Asia was severely crippled, but not on the battlefield. The US Army never lost a major battle in the Vietnam War. It was bleeding from within. What saved it was a smattering of rock solid senior leaders who weren’t feather merchants and many young, field grade officers, (majors, lieutenant colonels, colonels) who were determined to stay on active duty, not because they were thinking of themselves, but because they were determined to rebuild the Army. One of these young officers was Fred Franks. I have mentioned Fred Franks before, but not in any detail. To understand what is lacking in the military today and what needs to be done and what the results can be, it is important to understand officers like Fred Franks, who often referred to the hot blue flame that burned within him, a fixation, an obsession to fix the Army. In a period of intense combat, while serving with the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, Franks earned the Silver Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, the Bronze Star with V Device, the Air Medal, and two Purple Hearts. While fighting in Cambodia he was severely wounded, and after a series of unsuccessful surgeries, lost his left leg, which was amputated below the knee. Franks fought to remain in a combat unit, something not normally granted amputees, and was eventually permitted to remain in the combat arms. Franks eventually rose to the rank of the Lieutenant-General and was given command of the VII Corps in Germany. The VII Corps, a gargantuan organization, also consisting of elements from V Corps, had 250,000 soldiers, thousands of tracked and wheeled vehicles and was the size of Patton’s Third Army in WWII. VII Corps was deployed to Saudi Arabia in December 1990 to provide the offensive combat power to oust Saddam’s legions from Kuwait and more importantly, to destroy the Republican Guard. VII Corps’ mission was simple; conduct a massive left hook, Hail Mary sweep across Southern Iraq and then annihilate Saddam’s elite armored and mechanized formations of the Republican Guard. During the first night of the ground war, on February 24, 1991, General Franks ordered the entire corps to halt for the night. Franks was worried about fratricide and concerned about elements that were still passing through the breach and the Iraqi defensive belt. The following morning, General Schwarzkopf in Riyadh, 250 miles from the frontlines, went ballistic when he learned that VII Corps hadn’t moved farther and faster. The Schwarkopf/Franks battle would continue for the rest of the conflict, after the cease-fire, into the 1990’s and indeed is the subject of military roundtables to this day. As time passed on the 25th of February, VII Corps continued to attack through Southern Iraq, mopping up frontline Iraqi units that were all too eager to lay down their arms to the Americans after a fusillade was fired off to preserve their own honor. By the 26th, Franks knew that the Corps would hit the Republican Guard that day. In fact, VII Corps reconnaissance elements had made contact with Republican Guard reconnaissance units the night of the 25th. Franks was receiving intelligence that painted the Republican Guard and the armored divisions of the Regular Army in a hasty defense along the IPSA Pipeline Road, with three divisions up and two in the back. Strangely, Schwarzkopf was receiving intelligence that portrayed a completely different picture. His intelligence told him that the Republican Guard was bugging out of the theater and the only way to finish them off was for Franks to move like a bat out of hell. As is so often the case with the fog of war, both intelligence pictures were actually correct. Iraqi GHQ had ordered the Republican Guard to block VII Corps with the Al Medina and the Tawakalna Divisions, but their other divisions in the theater, the Hammurabi, the Adnan, the Al-Faw and a Special Forces Brigade were indeed retreating. On the afternoon of the 26th, VII Corps made contact with the Republican Guard and began what would become a 12 hour battle along a 50 mile front. By morning, the Tawakalana Division, the 12th Armored, the 10th Armored and the 52nd Divisions were obliterated. By noon, the Al Medina Division would be destroyed by 1st Armored Division in the biggest tank battle since Kursk in 1943. Whether General Franks should or should not have stopped on the first night of the 100 Hour War will be debated by military historians for the next thousand years. What is important is that the US Army had been rebuilt into a spectacular force that could field units like VII Corps. As Franks said during an interview after the war, “Desert Storm wasn’t won in 100 Hours. It was won in 20 years at Grafenwoehr, on Reforger and at the NTC.” I got to know General Franks during the production of a four hour Gulf War documentary in 2001. He was a polite, candid, poised man who still brooded over the feud with Schwarkopf and the reasons why he halted VII Corps on the night of February 24th, 1991. While Franks probably believes his greatest contribution to history was leading VII Corps in the Gulf War, his biggest achievement could very well be participating and indeed becoming a key figure in the resurrection of the US Army during a time when the Army needed persons of conviction. Fred Franks was a symbol of the Army in 1991. The common leadership traits 25 years ago seem nearly vanished among today’s generals; patriotism, courage and concern for the troops have been replaced by what can I do for the greater good of myself? And, it shows. And, the troops know it. And, the troops deserve better. They bear the burden of our wars and receive very few accolades as the generals prim their massive egos, pin on a new star, or punch out with a guaranteed defense contractor position or a military analyst gig on cable news. The troops expect generals to act a certain way; they are after all, generals. But, the troops also expect the brass to care about them. When they don’t care, is when the bottom begins to fall out. The US Army, and the US military as a whole, is rapidly nearing dead on arrival status. Will it be resurrected, or will political correctness, militant feminism and moral cowardice condemn the United States of America to destruction and defeat in war and to the ash heap of history like other world powers in history?

China scrambles fighters as U.S. sails warship near Chinese-claimed reef

[By Michael Martina, Greg Torode and Ben Blanchard]

May 10, 2016 By Michael Martina, Greg Torode and Ben Blanchard

BEIJING/HONG KONG (Reuters) - China scrambled fighter jets on Tuesday as a U.S. navy ship sailed close to a disputed reef in the South China Sea, a patrol China denounced as an illegal threat to peace which only went to show its defense installations in the area were necessary. Guided missile destroyer the USS William P. Lawrence traveled within 12 nautical miles (22 km) of Chinese-occupied Fiery Cross Reef, U.S. Defense Department spokesman Bill Urban said. The so-called freedom of navigation operation was undertaken to "challenge excessive maritime claims" by China, Taiwan, and Vietnam which were seeking to restrict navigation rights in the South China Sea, Urban said. "These excessive maritime claims are inconsistent with international law as reflected in the Law of the Sea Convention in that they purport to restrict the navigation rights that the United States and all states are entitled to exercise," Urban said in an emailed statement. China and the United States have traded accusations of militarizing the South China Sea as China undertakes large-scale land reclamation and construction on disputed features while the United States has increased its patrols and exercises. Facilities on Fiery Cross Reef include a 3,000-metre (10,000-foot) runway which the United States worries China will use to press its extensive territorial claims at the expense of weaker rivals. China's Defence Ministry said two fighter jets were scrambled and three warships shadowed the U.S. ship, telling it to leave. The U.S. patrol "again proves that China's construction of defensive facilities on the relevant reefs in the Nansha Islands is completely reasonable and totally necessary", it said, using China's name for the Spratly Islands where much of its reclamation work is taking place. Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said the U.S. ship illegally entered Chinese waters. "This action by the U.S. side threatened China's sovereignty and security interests, endangered the staff and facilities on the reef, and damaged regional peace and stability," he told a daily news briefing. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry waved aside a question as to whether the U.S. aim was to send a message ahead of a visit to Asia by President Barack Obama this month. "This is not a pointed strategy calculated to do anything except keep a regular process of freedom of navigation operations underway," he told reporters in London. SENSITIVE AREA China claims most of the South China Sea, through which $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes every year. The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei have overlapping claims. The Pentagon last month called on China to reaffirm it has no plans to deploy military aircraft in the Spratly Islands after China used a military plane to evacuate sick workers from Fiery Cross. "Fiery Cross is sensitive because it is presumed to be the future hub of Chinese military operations in the South China Sea, given its already extensive infrastructure, including its large and deep port and 3,000-metre runway," said Ian Storey, a South China Sea expert at Singapore's ISEAS Yusof Ishak Institute. "The timing is interesting, too. It is a show of U.S. determination ahead of President Obama's trip to Vietnam." Speaking in Vietnam, Daniel Russel, assistant secretary of state for East Asia and the Pacific, said freedom of navigation operations were important for smaller nations. "If the world's most powerful navy cannot sail where international law permits, then what happens to the ships of navy of smaller countries?" Russel told reporters before news of the operation was made public. China has reacted with anger to previous U.S. freedom of navigation operations, including the overflight of fighter planes near the disputed Scarborough Shoal last month, and when long-range U.S. bombers flew near Chinese facilities under construction on Cuarteron Reef in the Spratlys last November. U.S. naval officials believe China has plans to start reclamation and construction activities on Scarborough Shoal, which sits further north of the Spratlys within the Philippines-claimed 200-nautical-mile (370-km) exclusive economic zone. Tough-talking city mayor Rodrigo Duterte, who looks set to become president of the Philippines after an election on Monday, has proposed multilateral talks on the South China Sea. A Chinese diplomat warned last week that criticism of China over the South China Sea would rebound like a coiled spring.

Russia to test unstoppable 'Satan 2' stealth nuke capable of wiping out an ENTIRE NATION

09:01, 10 May 2016 Updated 17:17, 10 May 2016 By Jasper Hamill

Moscow meda claims terrifying weapon can dodge radar defences and bring destruction to an area the size of 'Texas or France' Russia is preparing to test-fire a nuclear weapon which is so powerful it could reportedly destroy a whole country in seconds. The "Satan 2" missile is rumoured to be the most powerful ever designed and is equipped with stealth technology to help it dodge enemy radar systems This terrifying doomsday weapon is likely to strike fear into the hearts of Western military chiefs, as current missile defence technology is totally incapable of stopping it. Its official name is the RS-28 Sarmat and it will replace aging Soviet R-36M missiles, which NATO military experts nicknamed "Satan". "In this sense, the Sarmat missile will not only become the R-36M's successor, but also to some extent it will determine in which direction nuclear deterrence in the world will develop," the Russian news network Zvezda reported . Kaboom: Nuclear missiles can strike anywhere on Earth Read more : Apocalypse on the way? Scientists fear asteroids, killer robots and deadly diseases could wipe out humanity The missile is expected to be capable of delivering up to a dozen warheads, allowing to effectively destroy an area the "size of Texas or France", the broadcaster continued. It is expected to have a range of 10,000 km, allowing Moscow to attack European cities including London as well as major cities on America's west and east coasts. etc. and the news story continues

Surging North American Silver Investment Pushes Domestic Supply Deficit To New Record

Filed in Mining, Precious Metals by SRSrocco on May 11, 2016 • 25 Comments

North American silver investment via its domestic supply suffered another large deficit in 2015. How big was the deficit? It was huge, surging 70% compared to 2014… and this only includes silver investment from two Official coin sales. Let me explain. We need to start off by showing the total Canadian Silver Maple Leaf sales for 2015. The Royal Canadian Mint finally published their 2015 Annual Report in which they stated that sales of Silver Maples jumped 18% from 29.2 million (Moz) in 2014 to 34.3 Moz in 2015: Sales of Canadian Silver Maples started off strong in Q1 2015, but declined in Q2 2015 by falling 400,000 oz compared to the same period in 2014 (7.2 Moz Q2 2014 vs 6.8 Moz Q2 2015). However, things turned around significantly in the Q3 and Q4 2015 during the silver retail investment shortage (July-Oct). Sales of Silver Maples were a record 18.6 Moz in the second half of 2015 versus 13.8 Moz in the second half of 2014. If we add Canadian Silver Maple Leaf sales to U.S. Mint Silver Eagles for 2015, it jumped to a stunning 81.3 Moz compared to 73.2 Moz in 2014. I discussed this in my THE SILVER CHART REPORT which was released in June 2015. Here is CHART #37 of a total of 48 charts in the report: As we can see, combined U.S. and Canadian domestic silver production was 96.6 Moz in 2001 while total Silver Maple & Eagle sales were only 9.2 Moz. Thus, the total Silver Maple & Eagle sales only accounted for 9% of the two countries silver mine supply. This trend started to change significantly in 2008 as Silver Maple & Eagle sales consumed nearly half of U.S. and Canadian silver mine supply. However, this trend turned into a deficit 2011 as Silver Maple & Eagle sales were 9.4 Moz higher than domestic silver mine supply (63.1 Moz Official Coins vs 53.7 Moz supply). Even though Silver Maple & Eagle sales declined in 2012, the net investment supply deficit resumed again in 2013 and 2014. Matter-a-fact, Silver Maple & Eagle sales were nearly 20 Moz more than U.S. and Canadian domestic silver mine supply in 2014. Surging North American Silver Investment Pushes Domestic Supply Deficit To New Record In 2015 Well, if you think 2014 was a banner year for the silver investment domestic supply deficit, take a look at my updated chart including the data for 2015: Here we can see that total Silver Maples & Eagles of 81.3 Moz is 33.7 Moz more than domestic silver mine supply of 47.6 Moz from the U.S. and Canada. Moreover, this only includes the manufacture of these two Official Silver Coins. This does not include the estimated 40-50 Moz of private rounds and bars now including in the 2016 World Silver Survey. What a difference since 2001… AYE? Total Silver Maple & Eagle sales in 2001 were less than 10% of U.S. and Canadian Mine supply. Thus, these two countries had plenty of silver to supply their investment needs that year. However, the U.S. and Canada had to import 33.7 Moz in 2015 just to produce these two Official Silver coins. While the U.S. and Canada can continue to import enough silver to meet its current needs, this may not be true in the future. If you have not checked out THE SILVER CHART REPORT, you can find more about it by clicking on the link. As the price of silver skyrockets during the next global financial collapse, the Silver Market will become one of the world’s most explosive markets in the future. The Silver Chart Report is a must-read for the new and experienced precious metals investor. Most analysts focus on a certain area or sector of the silver market. However, the information in this report illuminates a holistic view of many sectors of the silver industry, capturing the relationships that connect many parts of the market.

Mastercard, Visa Say Head & Hand Scanning Is The Future Of Buying, Begin [666] Pilot Programs

May 10, 2016 by SkyWatch Editor

To keep transactions as secure as possible, the MasterCard is taking a multi-layered approach. “We know about device identification, geo location, forensics and analytics on behaviors. So you take everything that we already have, and you add another layer on top of that which would be a biometric authentication.” Say you’re ready to buy something on a merchant website, and you’ve already signed up for your bank’s mobile biometric payments option. “As a cardholder, that’s just another tool that your bank would offer, that MasterCard facilitates,” Reany says. You hit the pay button, and a message goes from the merchant through MasterCard to the bank. “At that point, we would have sent a notification back to the person’s phone saying ‘hey, are you really trying to buy something?’ You press the phone once to say ‘yes,’ and then it says hold your phone up. You hold your phone up to your eye level, you blink your eye, and you never press another button. The blink triggers the fact that the consumer is verifying themselves and that they’re alive. Then we do a quick facial recognition match and give the approval,” Reany says. “Just blink and buy, it’s really that quick.” (READ MORE)

Ponzi scams are real! The single biggest fraud in all of human history…. “..We now exist in an environment where the financial system as a whole has been flipped upside down just to make it function…”

Submitted by IWB, on May 6th, 2016

This is The Biggest Fraud In The History Of The World

“The stock market may be hovering near all-time highs, but according to Greg Mannarino of Traders Choice that doesn’t mean the valuations are actually real: We exist, beyond any shadow of any doubt, in an environment of absolute fakery where nothing is real… from the prices of assets to what’s occurring here with regard to the big Wall Street banks, the Federal Reserve, interest rates and everything in between. …All of this is being played in a way to keep people believing, once again, that the system is working and will continue to work: … Every single asset now… I don’t care what asset… you want to look at currency, debt, housing, metals, the stock market… pick an asset… there’s no price discovery mechanism behind it whatsoever… it’s all fake… it’s all being distorted. … The system is built upon on one premise and that is confidence that it will work… if that confidence is rattled the whole thing will implode… our policy makers are well aware of this… there is collusion between central banks and their respective governments… and it will not stop until it implodes… and what I mean by implode is, correct to fair value.” And when that confidence is finally lost and the fraud exposed – and it will be as has always been the case throughout history – the destruction to follow will be one for the history books. In a previous interview Mannarino warned that things could get so serious after the bursting of such a massive bubble that millions of people will die on a world-wide scale: “It’s created a population boom… a population boom has risen in tandem with the debt. It’s incredible. So, when the debt bubble bursts we’re going to get a correction in population. It’s a mathematical certainty. Millions upon millions of people are going to die on a world-wide scale when the debt bubble bursts. And I’m saying when not if… … When resources become more and more scarce we’re going to see countries at war with each other. People will be scrambling… in a worst case scenario… doing everything that they can to survive… to provide for their family and for themselves. There’s no way out of it.

Who Will Be The Most Important People After Societal Collapse?

Posted by Self Sustained

Do you have what it takes to be one of the most important or sought-after people after the collapse of society as we know it today? There will be several significant groups of talents which will strongly affect the course of events or the nature of things following a breakdown of modern society… These primary groups will be made up with those who have contributing knowledge, experience and skills having to do with our basic and necessary ‘needs’ for long term survival. Within each group will be subsets of skills (some of which will reach across other groups), and these subsets will each relate and contribute up towards the the primary objective of each group. Gardeners, Farmers, Horticulture Anyone with expertise related to the procurement of food, will be deemed important. Successful gardeners and farmers will be highly valued, even more than those with hunting skills, because the probable situation will be a diminishing harvest of wild animal resources for consumption after a fairly short while in many areas. The skills for raising livestock will also be important, although these animals will need food and water too… The fact is, humans can live from the right foods grown in the ground, and those with experience in this area will be providing a life-sustaining asset to the group, and may be the most important of all. Water Management, Environmental Engineer, Plumbing Anyone who has experience with things having to do with all things ‘water’, including procuring, storing, and treatment for drinking, waste management, irrigation, and the associated plumbing, construction, and electro-mechanical skills to build, power, and maintain these systems. Living without power, cars, electronics or running water may seem like a nightmare scenario but to pioneers it was just the way life was. Having the skills to survive without modern conveniences is not only smart in case SHTF, it’s also great for the environment. Keep in mind that the key to a successful homestead does not only lie on being able to grow your own food but on other skills as well. Learning these skills will take time, patience and perseverance, and not all of these skills are applicable to certain situations. Hopefully, though, you managed to pick up some great ideas that will inspire you and get you started! Just like our forefathers used to do, The Lost Ways Book teaches you how you can survive in the worst-case scenario with the minimum resources available. It comes as a step-by-step guide accompanied by pictures and teaches you how to use basic ingredients to make super-food for your loved ones. Safe drinking water. Sanitation. Watering/irrigating your garden. It’s one thing to deal with this for yourself, but it’s quite another to provide for a group, especially and potentially without today’s modern infrastructure systems. Construction Anyone with the hands-on skills to build and maintain things having to do with ‘shelter’, especially those with the ability to work with more primitive methods of building and constructing without electricity. These are the people who could build from materials that are available, things like shelters/home, barns/out-buildings, fences, and other infrastructure. This group might include people who are knowledgeable in the field of alternative energy, which could be extremely valuable assuming that the associated materials and equipment have been procured and are operational. Utilizing water for energy, the sun, and the ‘how-to’ knowledge to apply it. Protection, Security Anyone with particular experience and skills having to do with all things ‘security’ will be very important, and a necessary asset to the overall group in order to establish defensive and offensive plans and procedures dealing with others who may wish to do the unit harm. There is little doubt that during an all-out collapse that this group will be a very important asset, especially during the initial timeline when the sheeple have just realized that they’re up the creek without a paddle… and the immediate months that will follow. While just about anyone can shoot a firearm, etc., the best in this group will probably be those with direct experience with such strategic and combat issues… ex-military, police, security, etc. Doctors, Nurses, Medical Anyone having worked in the medical field, especially doctors and nurses, will be a life-saving asset for injuries, which will surely happen. Without the luxuries afforded us by our modern medical systems (hospitals, high-tech, etc.), any injury could rapidly become life-threatening. Safety should and will become a very important habit in a post-collapse world. In summary, immediately following the collapse of society will not leave enough time to learn and become successful at new skills such as farming or gardening, for example. Your mistakes could cost your life (no food). So, this implies that those who already have the skills, will be the one’s who stand a better chance of longer term survival. Word of the day: Prepare! And do it the old fashion way, like our fore-fathers did it and succeed long before us, because what lies ahead of us will require all the help we can get. Watch this video and learn the 3 skills that ensured our ancestors survival in hard times of famine and war. I know that this is all pretty logical stuff having to do with rebuilding and sustaining a community, but it warrants thought. Many in modern society have skills which would be useless post-disaster. Knowing that… may motivate some of you to learn one or two ‘basic’ skills which may contribute to saving your life IF you ever needed them for real… While the list above is off the top of my head while contemplating only what may be the ‘most’ important of the many… there are many others which will be of practical and useful input to a group after a societal collapse. Feel free to add to the list with your comments…

What Will The Global Economy Look Like After The ‘Great Reset'?

Wednesday, 11 May 2016 03:33 Brandon Smith

A very common phrase used over the past couple years by the International Monetary Fund’s Christine Lagarde as well as other globalist mouthpieces is the “global reset.” Very rarely do these elites ever actually mention any details as to what this “reset” means. But if you take a look at some of my past analysis on the economic endgame, you will find that they do, on occasion, let information slip which gives us a general picture of where they prefer the world be within the next few years or even the next decade. A few goals are certain and openly admitted. The globalists ultimately want to diminish or erase the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency. They most definitely are seeking to establish the International Monetary Fund’s Special Drawing Rights basket system as a replacement for the dollar system; this plan was even outlined in the Rothschild run magazine The Economist in 1988. They want to consolidate economic governance, moving away from a franchise system of national central banks into a single global monetary authority, most likely under the IMF or the Bank for International Settlements. And, they consistently argue for the centralization of political power in the name of removing legislative and sovereign barriers to safer financial regulation. These are not “theories” of fiscal change, these are facts behind the globalist methodology. When the IMF mentions the “great global reset,” the above changes are a part of what they are referring to. That said, much of my examinations focus on these macro-elements; but what about the deeper mechanics of the whole scheme? What kind of economic system would we wake up to on a daily basis IF the globalists get exactly what they want? This is an area in which the elites rarely ever comment, and I can only offer hypothetical scenarios. I am basing these scenarios on the measures that the establishment most obsessively chases. If they want a particular social or economic change badly enough, the signs become obvious. Here is what the world would probably look like after a global economic reset… Initial Crisis Who knows what the trigger will be? There are so many potential catalysts for economic instability that there is no way to make a prediction. The only thing that is certain is that one or more of these catalysts will be triggered. A Saudi depeg from the U.S. dollar, a large scale terrorist attack, a general rout in stock markets due to a loss of faith in central bank policy, a confrontation between Eastern and Western powers. It doesn’t really matter much. All of it is designed to produce one outcome — chaos. To which the globalists will offer “order,” their particular order using their particular solutions as “objective mediators.” In our highly interdependent system in the West in which more than 80 percent of the population has been domesticated and is psychologically incapable of self-reliance, it is very likely that a disruption of normal supply chains and services would result in considerable poverty and death. Such a threat would invariably lead frightened and unprepared people to demand increased government controls so that they can return to the level of comfort they have grown accustomed to within the grid. One important factor to note is the rationale globalists will offer for increased centralization and control in the hands of a few. In my article, The Linchpin Lie: How Global Collapse Will Be Sold To The Masses, I study the clever narrative of Rand Corporation member John Casti and his “Linchpin Theory.” In Casti’s theory (more propaganda than theory), collapse is inevitable in what he calls “overly complex systems.” The more independent elements within any system, the more chance there is for unpredictable events that lead to supposed disaster. Ostensibly, the solution would be to streamline all systems and remove the free-radicals. That is to say, complete centralization is the answer. What a surprise. In a post-reset world, the elites will argue that the banks and bankers are not necessarily to blame. Rather, they will accuse the “system” of being too complex and chaotic, leaving itself open to greed, stupidity and overall unconscious sabotage. The fact that the crisis was engineered from the very beginning will never be mentioned. Centralization will be championed as the cure-all to the barbaric relic of complexity. Almost all other changes to our economic environment will stem from this single lie. Thinning Of The Financial Herd You are going to see long standing financial institutions sacrificed in the name of rehabilitating the global system. Do not assume that certain major banks (Deutsche Bank?) will not be brought down, or that certain central banks will not be toppled (Federal Reserve) as the reset progresses. Also do not assume even that certain geopolitical structures will not be brought into disarray (European Union). In the push towards total globalization and one world economic governance, the elites have no loyalty to any single corporation, nation or even central bank. They will chop off almost any appendage if they can achieve a one world system in the trade. What this means on a micro-level is the activation of bail-ins; that is to say, the legalized confiscation of bank accounts, pension funds, stock holdings, etc. as a method for prolonging a collapse event. We have seen this already to some extent in Europe, and it will happen in the U.S. eventually. Some people (socialists/communists) may even cheer the action as the end of “capitalism” and a step toward economic “harmonization”; which is easy for them to cheer for since most of them have never worked hard enough to earn property or assets worth confiscating. Currency Devaluation Everyone who is aware expects this, but it is important to realize that currency devaluation will probably occur across the board in every region of the world. Some currencies will simply be hit harder than others. The dollar is a primary target of the globalists and WILL be brought down. It won’t disappear, but it will become progressively irrelevant on the global stage. If the projections of 'The Economist' are the correct timetable, then the end of the dollar will be well underway before 2018. While the initial scenario we face in America will be one of stagflation, many necessities and the means to produce those necessities will skyrocket in cost. There may not be inflation in every sector of the economy because imploding demand could offset some of the effects of falling currency value, but there will be extreme inflation in the areas that hurt common people most. The Digitization Of All Trade Despite all the failings and control mechanisms involved in fiat money, there are still worse systems to be had. Last month more than 100 executives from the world’s largest financial institutions met privately at the Times Square office of Nasdaq Inc. to discuss the future of money; more specifically a software apparatus called “Blockchain.” The goal is to implement Blockchain as a medium to fully digitize monetary transactions around the world and in a way that is traceable and foolproof. In other words, the goal is put an end to all transactions involving physical cash. The establishment of a cashless society would mark the end of all privacy in trade. Even supposedly anti-centralization digital currencies like Bitcoin are hindered by the blockchain feature, which requires the tracking of ALL transactions in order for the currency to function. While methods for anonymity could be argued, the fact of the matter is, digital currency by its very nature is a destroyer of the truly private trade offered by cash and barter. When all trade is tracked, and all savings digitized, whoever owns the keys to the core of the blockchain will have the power to wreak havoc on the life of any participant at will. To be sure, the “blockchain” that the elites have in mind will never allow for anonymous transactions, because digital currency is not about anonymity or “convenience,” it is about control. Consolidation Of Government Power Corrupt government is the tool by which globalists can extort goods and labor from a population as well as exert force to subdue rebellion. It is highly unlikely that the global reset will result in a collapse of government. On the contrary, it is usually during economic collapse that governments grow in power to the point of totalitarianism. There will always be a new currency mechanism or financial structure to replace the old, and the globalists will always have a way to pay off armies and useful idiots to do their bidding. No one should be counting on the idea that the elites face collapse as we face collapse. This is naive. The elites created the collapse; they plan to be ready to use it to their advantage. The End Of Private Production And Business After the reset and the opening crisis it is probable that resource allocation will become a major issue. Production of goods on the massive scale seen today will not ever be allowed to return if the elites have their way. This will create a perpetual lack of supply (by design). The only methods for dealing with lost production on an industrial level would be to either encourage localized production in every community, or to force people to reduce their standard of living and demand in the extreme. The elites will certainly press for the latter. Localized production in every community would kill any means of financial control the globalists might have on a population. In fact, I believe they will attempt to make any local production impossible, first through taxation so high that only the largest still-surviving corporations can afford to operate, and second, by confiscation of raw resources needed to manufacture goods on a scale that would grow wealth for a community. The government will claim that such resources must be managed by the authorities for the good of everyone rather than “wasted” by independent businesses in the “pursuit of personal wealth.” You won't even see children running lemonade stands, let alone common people operating small factories, farms and store fronts. Eventually, they will also have to limit or outlaw barter and alternative currencies in order for the digitized economy to work. Carbon Output And Environmental Extortion No matter how much information is released which completely contradicts the fraud of man-made global warming, the establishment continues to charge full steam ahead with the creation of a carbon-based economic model. Why? Because the idea of the “carbon footprint” is the ultimate weapon for domination. A “carbon tax” is a tax on life itself. There is no way around it. In my article 'Ecological Panic: The New Rationale For Globalist Cultism' I dissect the elitist think-tank propaganda of Council on Foreign Relations member Timothy Snyder. Snyder argues in his writings that nearly all man-made disasters are a product of high or extravagant living standards. Though his definition of "high living standards" is rather vague, I expect that he sees the vast majority of Western society as people that need to be taken down several pegs. He also argues that tyrants and mass murderers often ignore scientific authority in the pursuit of greater productive wealth, and that people who ignore "climate science" are contributing to future holocausts. So, to summarize, we all must stop producing, stop pursuing personal wealth and achievement and sacrifice our own individual progress in the name of progress for the collective and the safety of the planet. Like Casti, Snyder's narrative requires the populace to bow down to a central authority in the name of the greater good. And surely it is mere coincidence that the globalists these men work for will be at the helm of that central authority. Remember, in order to fully centralize, the elites must streamline. This does not only mean streamlining economic governance, but also streamlining the size of the system they seek to dictate. The larger and more diverse the system, the harder it is to wrap your tentacles around it. This means greatly diminished production, but also by extension greatly diminishing the population. Population controls then become vital. If the production of carbon can be taxed and administrated, then the production of life can be taxed and administrated. The establishment becomes godlike; the purveyor of all means of sustainment. The carbon boogeyman can be used to frighten the now crisis weary public into complete sublimation, for if mere carbon can cause the end of the world as we know it, then people, by their very existence, become a threat to the future that must be regulated. Anthropogenic climate change is THE model the elites must assert if they hope to convince the citizenry that a concrete ceiling on production and population is acceptable. If we ever get to the point where human society becomes so self-loathing as to seek its own enslavement and destruction through carbon controls, it may be a thousand years before we ever see freedom again. We’re Not There Yet All of the dangers described above are NOT set in stone. Some may claim that the “end is nigh” — these people are idiots. The end is never nigh. Humanity has faced calamity after calamity for generations; our calamity just happens to be historically epic by comparison. It is not the last calamity. Centuries from now, there will be new disasters and new idiots telling everyone “the end is nigh.” Through it all, courageous people have risen to the occasion. Some are successful and some are not, but we do not live in a New World Order, yet, and that is saying something. Today is nowhere near as terrible as tomorrow could be if we do not act accordingly. The globalist reset needs a trigger, a crisis which admittedly we do not have the ability to avoid. But, the reset also depends on the right people in place to rebuild the system after the crisis unfolds. Here is where the future can be determined. Whoever is left standing after the opening salvo will have a choice: to hide and hope for the best, or to fight for the position to choose who builds tomorrow. Will it be the psychotic globalist cabal, or will it be free people of conscience? It may not seem like it now, but the end result is up to us.

The Manufactured Divide - Elite Suffers A Devastating Blow And It Is About To Get Worse For Them

May 10, 2016 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

A look at the most talked (or written) about political news articles on any given day would have us believe that the Republican party is in shambles, completely divided over the rise of Donald Trump as the GOP Presumptive Nominee for President, where sites that track political news and who is talking about what, are full of articles on how Cruz backers are donating to Hillary Clinton, and how Cruz is not releasing his delegates before the July GOP convention, and the die-hard #Never Trumpster pundits, aka the political class establishment backers, continue to bemoan the will of the voters, who for once did not allow those same pundits and political "elite" select the GOP candidate and instead chose for themselves. In fact one of the most ironic screeds of the day comes from The Weekly Standard, who has been leading the #NeverTrump charge since day one and concludes their daily rant by calling Republicans prepared to unite behind Trump now that he is the last man standing out of the 17 original GOP candidates, a bunch of "unprincipled sellouts." And now he will be the Republican party's nominee for president. Reince Priebus, the party's chairman, called for Republicans to unite around Trump and rally to his cause. One by one they fell in line—the unprincipled sellouts, the rising stars, the veteran officeholders, the would-be nominees. Jon Huntsman and Rick Scott. Nikki Haley and Brian Sandoval. Rob Portman and Kelly Ayotte. Marco Rubio and Bobby Jindal. The reason this particular "establishment" pundit screed is so ironic is because this is the same publication that lectured voters that did not think John McCain was the best candidate in 2008 to "Let's Grow Up, Conservatives" and "defeat the Democrats in November." The same publication that wrote, just a day before the 2012 Presidential elections all the reasons why, in their not-so-humble-we-are-the-political-geniuses" opinion, "Why Romney Will Win." In case they need a reminder, the candidates that were shoved down Americans throats, the politically elite "selected".... lost in 2008 and in 2012. Perhaps someone should send them a little note to "Grow Up, Conservative and defeat the Democrats (Hillary Clinton) in November 2016." The point here being it is to the media's benefit to hype the "divide" in the Republican and Democratic parties because without controversary, they won't have readers, but they are being given plenty of material by the #NeverTrump crybabies that believe voters that disagree with them are too stupid to actually vote because... well... they are the pundits and voters are just people who, unfortunately for those oh-so-brilliant establishment-backing pundits, are allowed to vote and each one of the "peoples" votes count every bit as much as those of the pundits. Which is where we find out that the "big divide" is manufactured, perpetuated by the #NeverTrumpsters, but still manufactured as a new Gallup survey finds that "rank and file Republicans," those not of the political class, are much less divided than the MSM and the political class would like us to believe: We also have interesting data collected this past weekend on vote intentions. Seventy-one percent of Republicans said they would be likely to vote for Trump, with 21% ruling it out. Clinton? Among Democrats, 73% said they would be likely to vote for her, with 21% ruling it out. So, in terms of vote projection at this point, Trump is no more dividing the Republican Party than Clinton is dividing the Democratic Party. The same percent of partisans say they will not vote for their party's front-runner. This suggests that Trump is not in as unusual a position as some might think. We need to be somewhat cautious in assuming that Republicans across the nation are riven by a devastating rift because of divided emotions about Trump. The significant majority of Republicans, in fact, apparently like Trump and say they are likely to vote for him, and Trump's image is only marginally more divisive among Republicans than Clinton's is among Democrats. While poll numbers change, what they are good for is to get a feel of what "voters" are thinking rather than what the media is focusing on as to what the political "elite" establishment is thinking. If this Republican primary season has taught us anything at all... it is that ordinary voters no longer care what the establishment thinks, wants, or tells us to do. Laura Ingraham has an absolutely must-read article titled "Trump v. Clinton … and Bush," with a subheader of "As NeverTrumpers plot away, a reality check is in order," in which she does a great job detailing the differences between Trump and Clinton and Bush, focusing more on conservative priorities, but it is at the end of her article where we see the mindset that she seems to share with the majority of the "rank-and-file Republicans" spoken of in the Gallup survey. During the American Revolution, the Patriots had a simple slogan: Join or Die. Not “Join, and We’ll All Be Happy.” Not “Join, and We’ll Build a Great Country.” Not “Join, and We’ll All Stick to Our Principles.” No: Join or Die. They knew working together would hurt. They knew the inevitable compromises would bother their conscience. They knew that they wouldn’t get the country they really wanted. But they also understood — much more than we do — that life is hard, and it’s often unfair. In Federalist 51, James Madison wrote: “If men were angels, no government would be necessary.” But men are not angels. We are flawed, and taking politics seriously means agreeing to deals you don’t like. To that end, those of us who will be voting for Trump are willing to work with all people of good faith to stop Hillary Clinton, and reclaim American sovereignty. If you don’t want to help us, we’ll understand. But we’ll never stop trying to help you. The #NeverTrump political class, the establishment and die-hard Ted Cruz supporters still going through the five stages of grief after Cruz suspended his campaign, troll political threads that are supportive of Trump, accusing supporters of refusing to see his flaws, putting him on a pedestal or thinking he is a God, all claims we have seen here at ANP and across the Internet in comment sections, yet those same critics ignore the fact that Trump, whom Cruz once called a "force of nature," has figuratively run over each and every one of the other 16 candidates as proven by each one dropping out of the race before the last of the primaries have even occurred. That doesn't make Trump without flaws, it doesn't put him on a pedestal and it certainly doesn't make him anyone's god, what it does is acknowledge reality, which is that Trump is the the last man standing after a brutal primary season and the person that knocked 16 other GOP candidates out of the race and, more importantly, that is not a career politician, not a member of the political class. Donald Trump is the person standing between Hillary Clinton and the White House. The American Thinker concludes an article published this morning with a statement which encompasses exactly what the political class should be doing right now in order to keep Hillary out of the White House: Donald Trump is speaking to what has become vestigial folk memory in Fishtown about what this country is, what it has done and what it is capable of doing again. In his undisciplined, meandering rhetorical style, Trump exhibits no fluency in the language of classical liberalism or the American Creed, because he is not a native speaker. Instead, Trump evokes rough virtues once universally celebrated there -- at least until Fishtown men stopped wearing ties to funerals. Of course these are John Ford’s, William Wellman’s, Frank Capra’s or John Milius’ truths rather than Frederich von Hayek’s, but so what? Trump is offering nothing more nuanced than the Marseillaise scene at Rick’s. It is just as sloppily jejune, but it speaks successfully to people untouched thus far by National Review or The Weekly Standard, and hitherto given up entirely by the political class to TMZ. If Trumpismo can spark their political re-engagement then it creates the opportunity to persuade them to embrace the serious, and potentially painful, policy reforms and personal renewal necessary to begin returning this nation to security and prosperity. Rather than fear their reaction, political leaders can once again enlist their energy and renewed faith in America. Instead of deprecating a chance to rebuild social capital, politicians and opinion leaders worthy of the name ought to be prepared to run to the front of the parade and guide it. Trumpismo may turn out to be a better political opportunity than a pathetic Republican leadership class deserves. Well said. BOTTOM LINE Instead of telling the general public what is best for them, the political class, the establishment "elite," need to make a choice... Trump or Clinton.... then live with their choice because if they continue with their antics, their temper tantrums and continue to give the MSM the manufactured divide narrative, we the people, will hold them accountable if Hillary Clinton takes the White House. The so-called "elite" have suffered a devastating blow and it is about to get much worse for them if they do not sit down, shut up, and get out of Americans way. As Rick Perry explains below... it comes down to priorities.

Facebook Use Is Dangerous to Your Health: Censorship Is the Least of Your Worries

Mark Zuckerberg censoring Donald Trump.

Much ado is being made about the obvious, in which the allegation is being made by several prominent Patriot websites, that Facebook censors posts based on content and topic. My brothers-in-arms, where have you been? I am a little taken back that these patriot websites cannot understand that their pro-Trump posts are being censored in lieu of pro—Hillary posts. This has been going on for a very long time and given the current political climate, should they even be surprised? My advice if you want to post pro-constitutional material and/or coupled with legitimate observations from those who really think that the Constitution is just a *** damn piece of paper as stated by George W. Bush, you are going to get censored. Deal with it! The bottom line is, if you are a Patriot website who espouses traditional American values, you know a view like where those with XY chromosomes actually go the MEN’s bathroom instead of terrorizing women and girls, you need to put your “big boy” pants on and realize that when you are on Facebook, you are in enemy territory. Facebook stands for every perversion of our culture and legal system that there is. If you post that Hillary sells Uranium to the Russians to fund her Presidential campaign, you are going to get banned on Facebook. Deal with it! If you want something legitimate to be concerned about by those unwitting people who frequent Facebook, please allow me to give you a place to hang your hat instead of the obvious censorship. Facebook’s Zuckerberg, The Self-Appointed Purveyor of Integrity and Morality FACEBOOK ALLOWS AN ASSASSINATE DONALD TRUMP PAGE, BUT WON’T ALLOW THE FOLLOWING? IF you want to be banned by Facebook, post the following and widely distribute the material: Anti-Clinton positions of any type including politics or her lifestyle proclivities. Advocating for the need to screen Muslim “refugees” settling in the United States. Any post which criticizes the national police state surveillance grid. Pro-Second Amendment posts. Pro-Trump posts. Anti-Free Trade Agreements Any financial analysis of what unrestrained illegal immigration is financially costing your country. Treatment of veterans. Any revelation regarding the Communist background of President Obama. This is just a small cross-section of topics that I have been banned for promoting. Under an assumed identity, there were no restrictions with regard to promoting the positive side of the New World and the minions (i.e. Hillary Clinton) that represent them. How Does Facebook Censor? Facebook will deal with the above posts by banning the poster from two weeks to 30 days. Of their robots will stop the dissemination of your post at 10 posts per hour. I know of a website that measured this effect with their own robots. The most obvious way is when one has a post that is getting traction and is espousing values associated with traditional America. In these instances, Facebook will simply pull the post. Facebook will also engage in more subtle forms of harassment all designed to make the post in question less appealing With regard to me, Facebook has started to refuse to give me control over which photo will represent my post. They force me to accept an oversized version of my website logo. The display is hideous and drives people away. Rules For Thee but Not For Me: Facebook Is Criminal Facebook is a clear member of the criminal elite. Facebook fails to pay its own fair share of taxes as a result of tax loopholes and deductions. With the last figures available, Facebook paid no income tax for the fiscal year 2012, despite reaping $1.1 billion in U.S. corporate profits. While Americans have just been subjected to higher taxes, billion-dollar corporations like Facebook, General Electric, Boeing and Wells Fargo have all been able to avoid paying any corporate income taxes, reports Citizens for Tax Justice. IF Patriot Websites Knew About This, They Would Never Complain About Facebook: Facebook Exposed Everyone seems to know about Facebook’s long association with the NSA. However, Facebook is also associated with clandestine organizations like In Q tel which is the communications arm of the CIA. Here is a short video which helps the viewer understand the origins of Facebook and who it truly serves and how and why this organization got its start. to Let my hypothesize with some of you who have no problem giving Facebook any and all information about yourself because “you have nothing to hide.” What if Facebook is a big data mining device? It is, read your service agreement. What if this information in conjunction with other data is ever used to determine your loyalty to the government? It could, again, read your service agreement. What if this data would someday be used to decide who lives and dies based upon your threat matrix score? If you don’t think this is possible google the MIAC Report and all of a sudden, I start looking more like Paul Revere than a mentally ill conspiracy theorist because censorship from Facebook is the least of your worries. They sell your information to the Communist Chinese, NSA uses your data to enhance your threat matrix score and Facebook is careless with data and sets you up to have your identity stolen. Conclusion I don’t begrudge anyone traveling in to the Lion’s Den of Facebook in order to spread the word of freedom. However, you cannot go into enemy territory and not expect to be fired upon. So, put your big boy pants on and realize that this is what you are going to get. In reality, when you use Facebook, you are not just risking censorship, you are ultimately risking your life.

Pope Francis’ New Humanism

05/09/2016 8 Comments

In the final book of the Petrus Romanus series, The Last Roman Emperor the Islamic Antichrist the Last Crusade our investigation exposed the pope’s marxism. A recent Op-Ed: “A popular Pope, a divided church, and the power struggle at the heart of Catholicism” quotes Pope Francis saying that he dreams of a new “European humanism,” involving “a constant work of humanisation” and calls for “memory, courage, a sound and humane utopian vision.”[1] It sounds eirely similar to Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto. Utopianism aside, humanism is a secular ideology and is usually adopted alongside political Marxism (socialism, communism). Googling “define humanism” yields: an outlook or system of thought attaching prime importance to human rather than divine or supernatural matters. Humanist beliefs stress the potential value and goodness of human beings, emphasize common human needs, and seek solely rational ways of solving human problems. a Renaissance cultural movement that turned away from medieval scholasticism and revived interest in ancient Greek and Roman thought. noun: Humanism (among some contemporary writers) a system of thought criticized as being centered on the notion of the rational, autonomous self and ignoring the unintegrated and conditioned nature of the individual. In The Last Roman Emperor the Islamic Antichrist the Last Crusade, we documented that Pope Francis was not only steeped in liberation theology (created by the KGB) as a Jesuit in Argentina but has openly been promoting the global “redistribution of wealth” as pope. The following is from the speech he delivered to the United Nations during his recent visit to the United States: Consequently, I do not hesitate to state, as did my predecessors (cf. JOHN PAUL II, Sollicitudo Rei Socialis, 42-43; Centesimus Annus, 43; BENEDICT XVI, Caritas in Veritate, 6; 24-40), that equitable economic and social progress can only be attained by joining scientific and technical abilities with an unfailing commitment to solidarity accompanied by a generous and disinterested spirit of gratuitousness at every level.

Liberals denounce Captain America for not being Gay. GAY “manifesto” AGENDA EXPOSED

on May 14, 2016 Posted In: Gay agenda, NEW WORLD ORDER, satanic celebrities

Captain America has been denounced by the liberal media because he’s a normal guy who likes women. The progressive leftists are literally upset that he’s not gay, and are mad the new film Civil War depicts him as a normal heterosexual guy who is sexually attracted to women. I’m not joking. Marvel should have made Captain America gay, Vanity Fair writer laments Extremist liberal and sexual fantasist Vanity Fair writer Joanna Robinson says Marvel made a mistake in its latest movie by not at least implying that Captain America could be gay – if not writing his homosexuality directly into the script Joanna Robinson, covers Hollywood and said there is an “intensely devoted section of the Captain America fan base who consider Bucky Barnes” – and not any other woman “to be the true object of Steve Rogers’ … affection.” Barnes is Captain America’s friend in the series and also known as Winter Solder. Joanna Robinson who may or may not be having these sexual fantasies about Captain America herself wrote. The rumor about Captain America’s sexuality was advanced when “Civil War” directors Joe and Anthony Russo refused to address it during interviews with the media, Robinson wrote. “[But ] doesn’ t Captain America: Civil War go out of its way to ‘define’ Bucky and Steve’s relationship when Cap smooches Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp) while Bucky looks on approvingly?” Robinson asked in her column. “Where’s the room for interpretation in that moment? …Marvel seems to think it has to have its heroes in heterosexual love affairs in order to maximize audience appeal.” The kiss, Robinson argued, seemed out of place. I ask Perhaps out of place in Gay Bar which is probably where Mrs Robonsion spends a lot of her time but in the real world not so. Although Marvel lives in a fantasy Universe Both Captain america and Bucky Barnes his friend were born before the second world war in a time when homosexuality was extremely out of place and seen as a degenerate way of life. So the fact that they like women is totally in Place unless of course they both frequented gay bars in the 1940’s Something we can only assume is a disgusting sexual fantasy of the Vanity Fair writer herself. She goes on to write. “So while Marvel was likely never going to make the homoerotic subtext of Cap and Bucky into text, would it really have hurt to keep their relationship more ambiguous?” she asked. “As if to put the nail in the coffin of speculation, Bucky and Cap paused for a moment in the middle of snowy Siberia to reminisce about their days chasing skirts in pre-War Brooklyn. It’s a sweet, human bonding moment but one that also bristles with heterosexual virility. If Disney isn’t inclined to give audiences a gay superhero, couldn’t they have at least left us the dream of Bucky and Cap?” But while Captain America apparently isn’t gay, Joe Russo said in a recent interview that future Marvel movies likely will include gay superheroes. “I think the chances are strong,” Joe Russo told Collider . “I mean, it’s incumbent upon us as storytellers who are making mass-appeal movies to make mass-appeal movies, and to diversify as much as possible. “It’s sad in the way that Hollywood lags behind other industries so significantly, one because you think that it would be a progressive industry, and two it’s such a visible industry,” Russo said. “So I think it’s important that on all fronts we keep pushing for diversification because then the storytelling becomes more interesting, more rich, and more truthful.” We see that these directors are pushing these movies in this way because most of them are homosexuals and are one way or the other pushing a homosexual agenda.

Conservatives outraged over Obama transgender directive to public schools

Published May 13, 2016 FoxNews.com

The Obama administration's directive Friday that every public school provide transgender access -- or face the loss of federal funds -- drew swift and strong condemnation from conservatives, with one public official blasting it as presidential "blackmail." The administration’s directive -- citing Title IX in telling schools to give transgender students access to all activities and facilities consistent with their gender identity -- effectively touched off a national debate that could well extend into the next president’s term and reverberate through the courts. Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, speaking to reporters Friday, said his state “will not yield to blackmail from the president of the United States.” "This goes against the values of so many people," he added. "This has everything to do with keeping the federal government out of local issues." White House spokesman Josh Earnest later defended the letter as “guidance” that was requested by schools across the country and said it “does not add any additional requirements under the law.” He also pushed back on Patrick’s comments that the letter was “blackmail.” “This does underscore the risk of electing a right-wing radio host to statewide office,” Earnest said, referring to Patrick’s talk radio show. Patrick -- highlighting the impact of a growing debate that has centered on who should or should not use gender-specific bathrooms, but could extend well beyond that -- called this the "biggest issue facing families and schools in America since prayer was taken out of public schools.” The guidance could open a Pandora’s box of related issues, from whether colleges would be forced to consider gender identity in student housing assignments to how administrators handle preferences for sports teams and locker rooms, and more. The letter the administration sent to school districts was signed by officials at the Justice Department and the Department of Education. A copy was posted on the Department of Justice’s website. While the letter does not have the force of law, it does warn that schools that do not abide by the administration’s interpretation of civil rights under the Title IX law may face lawsuits or loss of federal aid. "There is no room in our schools for discrimination of any kind, including discrimination against transgender students on the basis of their sex," Attorney General Loretta Lynch said in a statement. Patrick scoffed at the threat, saying the feds can keep their "30 pieces of silver." Officials say the letter is meant to clarify expectations of school districts that receive funding from the federal government. Educators have been seeking guidance on how to comply with Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination in educational programs and activities that receive federal funding, Education Secretary John B. King said in a statement. “No student should ever have to go through the experience of feeling unwelcome at school or on a college campus,” King said. “We must ensure that our young people know that whoever they are or wherever they come from, they have the opportunity to get a great education in an environment free from discrimination, harassment and violence.” Under the guidance, schools are told they must treat transgender students according to their chosen gender identity as soon as a parent or guardian notifies the district that that identity "differs from previous representations or records." There is no obligation for a student to present a specific medical diagnosis or identification documents that reflect his or her gender identity, and equal access must be given to transgender students even in instances when it makes others uncomfortable, according to the directive. "As is consistently recognized in civil rights cases, the desire to accommodate others' discomfort cannot justify a policy that singles out and disadvantages a particular class of students," the guidance says. But Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, says the federal government needs to butt out of state matters. “What the president needs to do is focus on his job and his job is not to intervene in state and local affairs under our constitutional scheme so frankly I think his involvement in this is unwelcomed,” Cornyn said. “This ought to be a choice made by local officials at the local level held accountable by their own voters.” The administration also released a separate 25-page document of questions and answers about best practices, including ways schools can make transgender students comfortable in the classroom and protect the privacy rights of all students in restrooms or locker rooms. The move was cheered by Human Rights Campaign, a gay, lesbian and transgender civil rights organization, which called the guidelines "groundbreaking." "This is a truly significant moment not only for transgender young people but for all young people, sending a message that every student deserves to be treated fairly and supported by their teachers and schools," HRC President Chad Griffin said in a statement. Earlier this week, the Justice Department and the state of North Carolina filed dueling lawsuits over the state’s controversial “bathroom” law, which had been at the center of the national debate. In their suit, the DOJ alleged a “pattern or practice of employment discrimination on the basis of sex” against the state over the law requiring transgender people to use bathrooms that correspond with the sex on their birth certificate. Republican Gov. Pat McCrory, in his lawsuit, accused the administration of a “baseless and blatant overreach” in trying to get the policy scrapped. "This is an attempt to unilaterally rewrite long-established federal civil rights laws in a manner that is wholly inconsistent with the intent of Congress and disregards decades of statutory interpretation by the Courts," the state’s suit, filed in U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of North Carolina, said. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Secret meeting of 150 top scientists considers creating synthetic human genome within a decade as experts warn technology could lead to an 'arms race'

150 people met to discuss the idea of creating synthetic human genome

This means using chemicals to build all of DNA found in chromosomes

Project's organizers say this would mainly aim to improve DNA synthesis

But, some argue that implications are too great to be discussed in secret

By Cheyenne Macdonald For Dailymail.com Published: 17:04 EST, 13 May 2016 | Updated: 19:46 EST, 13 May 2016

Earlier this week, roughly 150 scientists, lawyers, and entrepreneurs met in secrecy to discuss the possibility of creating an entirely synthetic human genome. This means scientists would chemically recreate the genetic material that’s naturally passed from parents to children. While this could mean major advancements for biological science and public health, some experts have raised concerns over the ethics of the idea, and say something so significant should not be discussed behind closed doors. The invite-only meeting was held at Harvard Medical School in Boston on Tuesday, the New York Times reports, and attendees were told not to contact the media or tweet about it. Called HGP-Write: Testing Large Synthetic Genomes in Cells, the project aims to ‘synthesize a complete human genome in a cell line within a period of ten years.’ Organizers included George Church, a professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School, Jef Boeke, director of the institute for systems genetics at NYU Langone Medical Center, Andrew Hessel, a ‘futurist’ in the bio/nano research group at Autodesk, and Nancy J. Kelley. In an interview with NYT, Dr. Church explained that the project, which is not yet funded, mainly aims to improve the ability to synthesize long strands of DNA, for use in animals, plants, and microbes. Scientists are currently able to manipulate the DNA in cells for various purposes, including the manufacturing of insulin for diabetes. Synthesizing the entire genome would allow for much more significant changes. But, some aspects of the concept have already been met with criticism.

Did This Act Move Us Closer to World War III?

4:00PM EDT 5/13/2016 Bob Eschliman

U.S., NATO, and Romanian military officials took part in an official ribbon cutting for the Aegis Ashore missile defense system, which Russia says is initiating a new "arms race" in Europe. (Official Navy Photo) As U.S., NATO and Romanian officials cut the ribbon on a new missile defense system meant to protect Europe from Iranian ballistic missiles, Russia sounded the alarm that the world may be rushing toward the brink of World War III. At a special ceremony held Thursday at the Aegis Ashore Missile Defense System in Deveselu, Romania, the U.S. Naval Forces-Europe and Africa—also known as the U.S. Sixth Fleet—recognized the completion of Phase II of the European Phased Adaptive Approach. EPAA is meant to increase in the U.S.'s ability to defend NATO European territory from attacks originating outside the Euro-Atlantic area, and is a key milestone in the development of NATO ballistic missile defense. President Obama announced the program in 2009, which is based on the ship-based Aegis defense system. Construction on the Romanian site began in October 2013. Transfer of command took place last December, and the system was activated Thursday. Since December, the Aegis Ashore system underwent operational certification through a series of unit- and theater-level tests. According to Navy officials, those exercises validated the system's capability to integrate into the U.S. and NATO "ballistic missile defense architecture." "Today, this site joins the four U.S. guided missile destroyers in Rota, Spain, in reaching Phase II of the European Phased Adaptive Approach," Adm. Mark Ferguson, Commander of U.S. Naval Forces-Europe and Africa, said. "As we cut the ribbon, the watch teams are trained and ready, the system has been tested, and we are now in the progress of integrating this site into the NATO integrated Air and Missile Defense Architecture." The third and final phase of the EPAA launched immediately Friday, when construction began on a second Aegis Ashore site in Poland. But not everyone is celebrating the achievement. Russian President Vladimir Putin gave a scathing critique of the program. "Now, after the deployment of those anti-missile system elements, we'll be forced to think about neutralizing developing threats to Russia's security," he told the government-friendly RT News, calling it a "new arms race." "We're not going to be dragged into this race. We'll go our own way. We'll work very accurately without exceeding the plans to finance the re-equipment of our Army and Navy, which have already been laid out for the next several years.

Russia will act to neutralize U.S. missile shield threat: Putin

SOCHI, Russia | By Vladimir Soldatkin

A ballistic missile defense shield which the United States has activated in Europe is a step to a new arms race, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday, vowing to adjust budget spending to neutralize "emerging threats" to Russia. The United States switched on the $800 million missile shield at a Soviet-era base in Romania on Thursday saying it was a defense against missiles from Iran and so-called rogue states. But, speaking to top defense and military industry officials, Putin said the system was aimed at blunting Russia's nuclear arsenal. "This is not a defense system. This is part of U.S. nuclear strategic potential brought onto a periphery. In this case, Eastern Europe is such periphery," Putin said. "Until now, those taking such decisions have lived in calm, fairly well-off and in safety. Now, as these elements of ballistic missile defense are deployed, we are forced to think how to neutralize emerging threats to the Russian Federation," he said. Coupled with deployment in the Mediterranean of U.S. ships carrying Aegis missiles and other missile shield elements in Poland, the site in Romania was "yet another step to rock international security and start a new arms race", he said. Russia would not be drawn into this race. But it would continue re-arming its army and navy and spend the approved funds in a way that would "uphold the current strategic balance of forces", he said. U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Work said on Thursday that the shield would not be used against any future Russian missile threat. Frank Rose, deputy U.S. assistant secretary of state for arms control, warned at the time that Iran's ballistic missiles could hit parts of Europe, including Romania. Putin said the prospect of a nuclear threat from Iran should no longer be taken seriously and was being used by Washington as an excuse to develop its missile shield in Europe. The full defensive umbrella, when complete in 2018 after further development in Poland, will stretch from Greenland to the Azores. It relies on radars to detect a ballistic missile launch into space. Sensors then measure the rocket's trajectory and destroy it in space before it re-enters the earth's atmosphere. The interceptors can be fired from ships or ground sites.

Chance of Mega-Tsunami Figured In Next 50 Years

Big Island Video News by Big Island Video News on May 14, 2016 at 12:09 am

HILO - Hawaii is especially vulnerable to a tsunami that could be created by a Magnitude 9+ earthquake in the subduction zone of the Aleutian Islands. University of Hawaii researchers have calculated how vulnerable. HILO, Hawaii – The probability of a mega-tsunami threatening Hawaii in the next 50 years has been estimated in a study published this week. Utilizing recorded histories and seismic evidence, a team of UH Mānoa researchers report that in the next five decades, there is a 9% chance of a Magnitude 9+ earthquake in the Aleutian Islands; an event with sufficient power to create a mega-tsunami especially threatening to Hawaii. The state of Hawaii has taken such an event into consideration in recent years (see the video interview with Kevin Richards of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, above) and has estimated the damage from such an event would be nearly $40 billion, with more than 300,000 people affected. From the University of Hawaii: Earth’s crust is composed of numerous rocky plates. An earthquake occurs when two sections of crust suddenly slip past one another. The surface where they slip is called the fault, and the system of faults comprises a subduction zone. Hawai‘i is especially vulnerable to a tsunami created by an earthquake in the subduction zone of the Aleutian Islands. “Necessity is the mother of invention,” said Rhett Butler, lead author and geophysicist at the UHM School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST). “Having no recorded history of mega tsunamis in Hawai‘i, and given the tsunami threat to Hawai‘i, we devised a model for Magnitude 9 earthquake rates following upon the insightful work of David Burbidge and others.” Butler and co-authors Neil Frazer (UHM SOEST) and William Templeton (now at Portland State University) created a numerical model based only upon the basics of plate tectonics: fault length and plate convergence rate, handling uncertainties in the data with Bayesian techniques. To validate this model, the researchers utilized recorded histories and seismic/tsunami evidence related to the 5 largest earthquakes (greater than Magnitude 9) since 1900 (Tohoku, 2011; Sumatra-Andaman, 2004; Alaska, 1964; Chile, 1960; and Kamchatka, 1952). “These five events represent half of the seismic energy that has been released globally since 1900,” said Butler. “The events differed in details, but all of them generated great tsunamis that caused enormous destruction.” To further refine the probability estimates, they took into account past (prior to recorded history) tsunamis—evidence of which is preserved in geological layers in coastal sediments, volcanic tephras, and archeological sites. “We were surprised and pleased to see how well the model actually fit the paleotsunami data,” said Butler. Using the probability of occurrence, the researchers were able to annualize the risk. They report the chance of a Magnitude 9 earthquake in the greater Aleutians is 9% ± 3% in the next 50 years. Hence the risk is 9% of $40 billion, or $3.6 billion. Annualized, this risk is about $72 million per year. Considering a worst-case location for Hawai‘i limited to the Eastern Aleutian Islands, the chances are about 3.5% in the next 50 years, or about $30 million annualized risk. In making decisions regarding mitigation against this $30-$72 million risk, the state can now prioritize this hazard with other threats and needs. The team is now considering ways to extend the analysis to smaller earthquakes, Magnitude 7-8, around the Pacific.

Faith Debate: Does God's Covenant Include America?

05-13-2016 Mark Martin

The topic of America's Christian roots has been making headlines lately.

Was America founded as a Christian nation? Dr. Russell Moore with the Southern Baptist Convention says the answer depends on how someone defines a "Christian nation." In a video posted on his website, Moore says if a person believes the definition is "that God was in covenant with the United States of America in order to bless the United States of America as a special people, as a new Israel, as a group of people covenanted under Christianity... the answer to that is clearly, 'no.'" However, Dr. Corne Bekker, the dean of the School of Divinity at Regent University, disagrees with Moore. "The Bible is very clear about this fact that God invites people to enter into covenant with him," Bekker told CBN News. "One great example of this is found in Psalms 85, and this is an extraordinary Psalm. So Israel's been in captivity for 70 years; they come back to their country -- devastation everywhere -- and here's the question, 'What makes us a Godly nation again?'" "And in the Psalm, God answers, and God says, 'If you fear me, my glory will dwell in your land.' And it's very clear to me that the founders of this great nation feared God. They came here specifically so that they could be free in the worship of the Lord," Bekker continued. To hear more of Dr. Corne Bekker's perspective on God's relationship with America, click play above. "There are specific covenants in the Old Testament, and there are also general covenants in the sense that God invites us to come in and indeed to be in relationship with him. Remember when the people of Israel entered into the Promised Land, God invited them. God said, 'Today I set before you life and death. You choose; it's up to you,'" Bekker went on to say. Moore says Christian ideas deeply influenced America's founders, but "they did not found the country as a Christian nation, which is why there is, for instance, no religious test for office holders and why there is a separation between the responsibilities of the State from the responsibilities of the Church or of worshipping communities in the United States." "I think that the confusion often comes in when people assign to the United States of America a Providential place in history that the Bible never assigns it," Moore said. A professor from Baylor University has also weighed in on the subject recently. Dr. Thomas S. Kidd, a history professor and the associate director of Baylor's Institute for Studies of Religion, supports Moore's position. "We need to ask, what do people mean by a 'Christian nation?' If you could have done a public survey in 1776, the vast majority of white Americans would have professed to be Christians," Kidd told The Christian Post. "Christian (or at least theistic) assumptions about creation, equality, and human nature undergirded the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution." "But the idea that God made a special covenant relationship with America, like he did with Israel in the Hebrew Bible, has no scriptural or historical basis," Kidd continued. Bekker believes the biblical principles upon which America was founded are a great foundation, and in light of that, Americans today need to look inwardly. "I think the question that Americans need to ask today is whether they would like to continue on in this covenant. Will they fear God? Will they indeed obey his commandments?" asked Bekker. "There's been an extraordinary decline in social values, Christian values and certainly biblical values I would say over the last seven to eight years. And in my mind America's right now at a crossroad where they need to make really important decisions." "And one of the most important decisions is whether they're going to put their trust in God, whether they're going to commit this country indeed to the leadership and the sovereignty of one God," Bekker continued. In addition to looking inwardly, Bekker believes Americans need to look back on the origin of the U.S. and look toward God as the country moves ahead. "I think one of the most important things that we need to remember is the good Christian history," he said. "There are some extraordinary, wonderful elements within the Constitution that I think Christians need to be educated about." "And then I think most importantly, we need to humble ourselves and ask for God's forgiveness as well as for God's blessing and guidance as America moves forward. It's never too late."

US, Italy Address Libya’s Internal, External Challenges

Pamela Dockins May 16, 2016 4:24 AM

VIENNA— Libya's new government and its security challenges are the focus for diplomats Monday as they gather in Vienna to discuss the situation in the country which has been grappling to overcome the chaos that followed the 2011 ouster and killing of leader Moammar Gadhafi. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni are co-hosting the session aimed at supporting the Government of National Accord that Western powers hope can unite Libya. The internationally recognized government is facing challenges from rival factions. The new government is also being challenged by Islamic State-affiliated militants who have established a base in the central city of Sirte and have used that base to launch attacks in neighboring Tunisia. All of the participants in Monday’s ministerial meeting would likely agree that Islamic State is a “huge problem for Libya and the region,” said a senior State Department official. “Libya is a keystone for access to the Sahel, the Maghreb, the Near East and the Mediterranean and Europe and to have Daesh have a foothold in Libya is bad for everybody,” said the official in a Friday briefing. Nagorno-Karabakh Another focal point for Kerry Monday is a multinational effort to help stabilize Nagorno-Karabakh, an ethnic Armenian enclave within Azerbaijan that was the scene of intense fighting in April. The two countries accused each other of violating a cease-fire. The flare-up was partly fueled by a worsening economic situation in Azerbaijan because of the fall of oil prices. The U.S., Russia and France serve as co-chairs of the OSCE (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe) Minsk Group, which has been working to find a peaceful solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Additionally, separate talks will be held with the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan. Ongoing concerns The talks in Vienna follow Kerry's visit to Saudi Arabia where he sought that government's support in strengthening a cessation of hostilities agreement between Syrian government forces and rebels ahead of broader talks on Syria. Tuesday, the 17-nation International Syria Support Group (ISSG) will convene in Vienna to discuss the stalled political talks, difficulties in maintaining the February cease-fire and the U.N.'s uneven results in delivering humanitarian aid. FILE - Children play near damaged buildings in the rebel-held southern town of Bosra al-Sham, Deraa, Syria, Feb. 23, 2016. “Not all of the trend lines in Syria are going in the right direction,” said State Department spokesman John Kirby on Friday. U.N. Syria envoy Staffan de Mistura has indicated he will await the results of the ISSG meeting before setting a date for the next round of proximity talks between the government and the opposition. In addition to Vienna, Kerry will attend a NATO ministerial meeting in Brussels and then will travel to Burma in a show of U.S. support for the country’s newly elected government. In the following week, Kerry will join President Barack Obama in Vietnam.

Former CIA spy says he helped South Africa arrest 'communist toy' Nelson Mandela

A CIA tip off to South Africa's apartheid regime which led to Nelson Mandela's arrest and 27-year imprisonment was yesterday condemned as a "betrayal of our nation" by the grandson and heir of the former president. Mandla Mandela called on US President Barack Obama to apologise and make a “full disclosure” of the events leading up to his grandfather's arrest in 1962 and suggested that the US should face censure by the United Nations. His comments came after a former CIA agent confirmed that he told the apartheid police how to find Mandela because he viewed him as a “toy of the communists”. “Whilst we were always aware of the West’s role in overt and covert support for the Apartheid state (this) disclosure has put an end to decades of denial revealing the fact that the USA put its imperial interests above the struggle for liberation of millions of people,” said Mr Mandela, the former statesman’s eldest grandson who is also an ANC MP and traditional chief in the family clan. “We call on freedom loving people of the world to come out in condemnation of this betrayal of our nation, the peoples of Southern Africa and all who suffered as a consequence of the USA’s support for the brutal apartheid state.” Donald Rickard said he and his handlers believed Mr Mandela was “the world’s most dangerous communist outside of the Soviet Union” and he had no qualms about tipping the authorities off about his whereabouts in 1962, the height of the Cold War. Mandela’s detention at a police roadblock in Howick, KwaZulu Natal was the catalyst for a series of trials, culminating in the Rivonia Treason Trial that would see him spend 27 years in prison. The CIA’s involvement in his detention after 17 years on the run has long been suspected but has never been confirmed until now. Mr Rickard, the then US vice-consul in Durban, suggested that ANC informants told him Mandela was visiting the seaside city and said he told South African police when he learned the activist was due to return to Johannesburg. Mandela, Rickard believed, was “completely under the control of the Soviet Union, a toy of the communists”, and was about “to incite” the Indian population of Natal into a communist-led mass rebellion against the apartheid government which could open the door to Russian intervention. “Natal was a cauldron at the time,” Mr Rickard said “and Mandela would have welcomed a war. If the Soviets had come in force, the United States would have had to get involved, and things could have gone to hell”. “We were teetering on the brink here and it had to be stopped, which meant Mandela had to be stopped. And I put a stop to it.” The 88-year-old broke his silence about his involvement in netting the “Black Pimpernel” as Mandela was known in an interview in March with researchers for a new film by British director John Irvin, entitled Mandela’s Gun, which will be screened at the Cannes Film Festival next week. Mr Rickard, who retired from the CIA in 1978 and spent the rest of his life in a remote spot in Colorado, died two weeks after the interview. Zizi Kodwa, a spokesman for the ANC, said the revelation was "a serious indictment" but nothing new. "We always knew there was always collaboration between some Western countries and the apartheid regime," he said. He echoed claims by the ANC’s secretary-general that the ANC was still interfering in South African politics. "We have recently observed that there are efforts to undermine the democratically elected ANC government," he said. "It is still happening now - the CIA is still collaborating with those who want regime change." Bantu Holomisa, a close friend of Mandela and now leader of an opposition party, said an apology from the US would not go amiss. "They can apologise, I am sure it would be welcomed if they were to say it - we would accept it as a symbolic gesture," he said. George Bizos, Mandela’s long-time lawyer who defended him and his associates at the Rivonia Trial, said the West played both honourable and dishonourable roles in the struggle against apartheid. “We never knew for certain that (the CIA) were involved but it was thought to be a probability because of the ideology of the United States at the time,” he told The Telegraph. “I don’t think President John F Kennedy’s government was particularly pleased with Nelson Mandela.” He said Mandela had “unwisely” attended a party held in his honour after his return from overseas shortly before his arrest. “There were thought to have been people there that may have been informants who set up a trap for him,” he said. The lawyer said the Americans were also instrumental in the trade blockade that brought the apartheid government to its knees, and visited Mandela in prison. He added that the close involvement of the British authorities was also clear, and that the British consul general had told him the night before the Rivonia trial sentencing that Mandela would not be hanged. Mandela became South Africa’s first black president in 1994. He died in December 2013 aged 95. The US government has declined to comment on the reports.

Netanyahu slams Hollande for backing ‘shameful’ UNESCO resolution on Jerusalem

In blunt letter, PM says he is ‘astounded’ that Paris supported a ‘distortion of truth’ that ignored Jewish ties to Temple Mount

By Times of Israel staff May 14, 2016, 3:34 pm

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent a strongly worded letter to French President Francoise Hollande to condemn Paris’s support for a recent controversial UNESCO resolution, days before the French leadership apologized for the vote, Channel 2 news reported Saturday. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent a strongly worded letter to French President Francoise Hollande to condemn Paris’s support for a recent controversial UNESCO resolution, days before the French leadership apologized for the vote, Channel 2 news reported Saturday. The UNESCO document spoke of “Occupied Palestine” and made no mention of historic Jewish ties to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. It condemned “Israeli aggressions and illegal measures against the freedom of worship and Muslims’ access to their Holy Site Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al-Haram Al Sharif.” France was among the 33 countries that backed the resolution in the 58-member body. In his letter to Hollande, Netanyahu said he was “astounded” by France’s support for what he called “a historic distortion of truth” and “an extremely biased and offensive” resolution. “The organization trusted with the safekeeping of world history has degraded itself to rewriting a basic and indisputable part of human history,” Netanyahu wrote. “While we have no illusions as to the the UN’s commitment to truth or decency, we were honestly astounded to see our French friends raise their hands in favor of this shameful resolution,” he stated. He added: “International support for the Palestinian effort to deny Jewish history and to perpetuate the myth of Jewish aggression in the Temple Mount is not just immoral, it is dangerous.” Several days after Paris received the letter, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said that the UNESCO resolution was “clumsy” and “unfortunate” and should have been avoided. French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault was expected to arrive in Jerusalem on Saturday in a bid to persuade Netanyahu to accept France’s efforts to engineer a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians, based on a two-state solution. The Haaretz daily said Netanyahu is set to strongly criticize the French plan during his talks with Ayrault in Jerusalem, while the foreign minister “will try to persuade him not to reject it out of hand.” According to Haaretz, Ayrault will arrive in Israel on Saturday night, meet with Netanyahu on Sunday morning, then head to Ramallah for talks with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. The foreign minister will depart on Sunday evening. The paper quoted French diplomats as saying that although the prime minister has publicly opposed the French plan, Ayrault “wants to hear Netanyahu’s views in person.” The meeting comes a week before Valls is also due to visit Israel and the Palestinian territories, in what his office said was an attempt to relaunch the peace process following the worst flare-up of violence in the Gaza Strip for two years. Valls’ May 21-24 visit will take place ahead of a May 30 summit that France is organizing for ministers from 20 countries to discuss reviving the peace negotiations. Neither Israeli nor Palestinian officials have been invited. Ayrault has previously said the aim of the meeting is to prepare an international summit in the second half of 2016, which would include Israeli and Palestinian leaders. The May 30 meeting has been welcomed by the Palestinians, who suspended a planned UN resolution condemning Israeli settlements to focus on the French efforts. Israel, however, has consistently argued that peace can only be achieved through direct negotiations between the two sides, rather than in international forums. According to Ayrault, a former French prime minister, discussions at the meeting would be based on the 2002 Saudi peace initiative — approved by the Arab League but not Israel — which called on the Jewish state to withdraw from Palestinian territory captured in the 1967 Six Day War, including East Jerusalem, in exchange for a normalization of ties with Arab countries. It also outlined the creation of a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza and envisaged a “just solution” of the refugee issue. Valls will meet with Netanyahu a day after his arrival in Israel. He also plans to hold talks with President Reuven Rivlin, former president Shimon Peres and opposition leader Isaac Herzog. He is then scheduled to travel to Ramallah, where he will meet with PA Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah. AFP contributed to this report.

NASA: April 2016 Was the Seventh Consecutive Warmest Month on Record For Earth

Published: May 15 2016 12:00 PM EDT weather.com

April 2016 was the warmest April on record for the globe, according to data released on Saturday by NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies. This also marks the seventh consecutive month in a row in NASA's dataset that the earth has recorded its warmest respective month on record. The global temperature departure in April was 1.11 degrees Celsius above the 1951-1980 average. This crushed the previous April record set in 2010 by 0.24 degrees Celsius. Defeating a previous record by a few tenths of a degree may not sound overwhelming, but in the world of climate statistics, computed from worldwide temperatures, this is yet another record-shattering figure. Every month from October 2015-April 2016 has now had a departure of 1 degree Celsius or greater above the 1951-1980 average used by NASA. The departure from average in a single month had never exceeded 1 degree Celsius prior to October dating back to 1880. April 2016 also continues a string of 369 consecutive months at or warmer than average. The last colder-than-average month in NASA's database was July 1985 Parts of Alaska, Russia, western Greenland and northern Africa had a temperature departure of at least 4 degrees Celsius above the April average. A large portion of Asia, eastern Europe, Australia, northern Africa, Brazil, the northwestern United States, and western Canada had a temperature departure of 2 degrees Celsius or more above April's average. (MORE: Extreme Heat Sears Southeast Asia With All-Time Records) Though most of the world experienced warmer than average temperatures in April, there were a few cool spots. NASA's analysis showed that below-average temperatures were confined to parts of Antarctica, extreme southern South America, eastern Canada, and parts of the northern Pacific and northern Atlantic Oceans. The Japanese Meteorological Agency (JMA) also found April to be the globe's warmest on record dating to 1891. This is the twelfth month in a row a global temperature record has been set according to JMA's analysis. NOAA will release its findings on April 2016 on Wednesday.

Donald Trump Warns Of New Attacks Upon America By Obama's Refugee Terrorists - More Proof They're Preparing To Bring In The 'New World Order'

May 16, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

During much of the last two years we've been sounding the alarm over and over again: the unvetted refugees that Barack Obama is allowing into our country by the tens of thousands may one day launch a series of devastating attacks upon America. We now hear from the Washington Times that the terrorist magazine Inspire is calling for jihadis to help destroy the US economy by slaughtering US business leaders and entrepreneurs in their own homes. ANP has documented many of the signs that we've been watching recently including the theft of a huge number of propane cannisters (which can be used to make deadly 'Hell Cannons'), huge purchases of cell phones and other electronics equipment being made at various stores across the country by those clearly from the Middle East, and the gaping hole that has been left within our intelligence community by the Obama administrations refusal to properly vet those refugees who are 'incoming,' including one government insider warning that Obama's 'see something say nothing' policy has put every American living in this country and overseas in danger. While Mr. Obama has been asleep at the wheel once again, we are happy to report that Donald Trump has the courage to speak up as heard in this first video. His predecessor in office Mr. Obama has clearly dropped the ball on this issue (and many others), helping to explain why so many have warned that Mr. Obama is merely an agent of ISIS, intent on allowing terrorists into this country to help destroy America and as has been previously warned, they may attack us at any moment. While Trump is under fire for his latest remarks heard in this video that refugees will commit another 9/11, it's clear that Trump is a realist and sees what others refuse to see: when allowing unvetted potential terrorists into the country who HATE Americans and then giving them the same freedoms that Americans have, they'll eventually use that freedom to inflict harm upon us. As ANP has reported, there could be hundreds of thousands of terrorists now in America due to Barack Obama's 'open door' policy. Much more below including a new look at why the 'nwo' will never allow a general election in November and more signs they're preparing to bring in their 'new world order'. First, from Trump: Will America soon suffer more devastating attacks here by terrorists that this administration has allowed into the country and WHY would terrorists be allowed to attack America? It's quite clear that we've reached a point in time when the globalists dreams of a 'new world order' are coming to an end as Americans 'awaken' en masse to their crimes upon us. While Europe crumbles and falls to Islam, America is one of the last country's standing against sharia law and the Islamic dream of a global caliphate. It's becoming increasingly obvious that if the globalists who are attempting to destroy America do not feel they'll have 'their candidate' in office by next January who will allow them to complete the 'final takedown' of our country, they'll once again launch devastating attacks upon America and impose a 'police state' here. As Steve Quayle recently warned on his website via a story that he linked to this morning, "NO NATION CAN WITHSTAND ITS TRAITORS FROM WITHIN AS IT FUNDS OUR NATIONS ENEMIES AND IMPORTS TROJAN WARRIORS FROM WITHOUT!" Why would Obama or any US leader send assault weapons to our enemies in Syria and around the world while attempting to disarm the American people? Why would any sitting president ALLOW potentially thousands of terrorists into America? It's been very clear to anyone paying attention that Mr. Obama doesn't have America's best interests in mind. Would allowing thousands of terrorists into the country who later launch massive attacks upon Americans that kill a huge number of innocent people be considered treason? Will Mr. Obama be held responsible for those extremely dangerous and despicable actions if Mr. Trump is elected in November? Maybe there's a good reason Obama has said Trump will never be president. The globalists backing Obama and EVIL WITCH Hitlery have NO INTENTION of allowing Trump anywhere near 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in 2017. In the next video below we get the full Infowars show from Sunday May 15th in which we're told how the chaos now going on in Venezuela is a precursor for the total collapse of society here in America as well as a look at how the 'elite' are preparing to bring down our nation to bring in their 'new world order'. Additionally, we learn more from a former Bill Clinton lover on why Hillary Clinton is a 'terrorist' as well as the latest 'false terror alert' in Cannes that shows how woefully unprepared the West is for the next terror attack. In the final video below we hear directly from Donald Trump who tells us who actually CREATED ISIS, Hillary Clinton and Obama. If this is true, as Trump states, why are Obama and Clinton still walking freely in America and not on trial for treason? If this is true, and nothing is done about the fact that these two politicians created the terrorist group who are killing Americans, then we have a very serious problem here in America that may not be able to be resolved.

Government Insider Blows Whistle On How Obama's Aiding Terrorists As Doomsday Map From Hell Predicts Islamic Takeover! Is THIS What's Coming To America?

May 15, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

Imagine living in an America under sharia law. No freedom of religion, no freedom of speech, no freedom of thought, no freedom of the press, no equality among humanity, no equal rights for women, no property rights, no right to defend ones self, no Constitution nor Bill of Rights - an America instantly switched back to the dark ages where those who reject or insult the 'supreme law' of Allah and Islam are simply 'eliminated'. While many have argued that sharia law will never happen in America, we have proof now that sharia is already being used in parts of the country while getting more evidence that Europe may soon be turned into a full-fledged Islamic nation. As even one presidential candidate recently warned, if America isn't very careful, we too may one day find ourselves living under the flag of Islam as Europe's already falling. As we were told by the T & D, 'Muslims are not the enemy but sharia law is a clear and present danger to America'.: "Islam is a revolutionary faith that comes to destroy any government made by man. … Islam doesn’t care about the land or who owns the land. The goal of Islam is to rule the entire world and submit all of mankind to the faith of Islam. Any nation or power that gets in the way of that goal, Islam will fight and destroy. In order to fulfill that goal, Islam can use every power available every way it can be used to bring worldwide revolution. This is Jihad.” -- Sayeed Abdul A’la Maududi, founder of Jamaat-e-Islami. In fact, as we learn below from a government insider, our own president is aiding Islamic terrorists in America this very moment. Is the information below more proof that Mr. Obama really is an ISIS agent who has infiltrated America? As we also learn below, a very interesting 'doomsday map of hell' was recently found that predicted the Islamic takeover of Europe...more than 500 years ago. Is that what's coming to America? According to retired DHS frontline officer and intelligence expert Philip Haney as heard in the 3rd video below from WNDTV, Barack Obama has long been aiding Islamic terrorists in America by making sure that they aren't discovered by our intelligence and law enforcement agencies. Haney tells us that Obama's 'stealth terror policy' has been designed to protect Islamic leaders who have supremacist beliefs and violent-jihadist ties, allowing them to travel freely between the US and the Middle East any time that they'd like to, putting EVERY American in danger. Despite the fact that Obama himself described ISIS as a "network of killers who are brutalizing local populations," damning evidence proves that Obama invited Muslim Brotherhood-linked leaders to the White House to help form national security policy here in America. Does that admission itself help to explain why this administration now labels Christians, supporters of the US Constitution and Patriots as 'enemies of the state'? With Islamic terrorists helping to form US national security policy at the invitation of the 'terrorist in the White House', everything is suddenly becoming all too clear. The story from the Express and the 1st video below tell us about a recently unearthed doomsday manuscript from the 15th century that predicted Islam would conquer Europe. Called an 'apocalyptic medieval map of hell', we also learn that the manuscript predicted that Christianity would be eradicated. You can see several of these interesting maps below videos here on ANP. The National Geographic will be doing a TV show about these maps tonight, Sunday May 15th, and in it we're told: Dozens of printed works described the coming reckoning in gory detail, but one long-forgotten manuscript depicts the Apocalypse in a very different way—through maps. “It has this sequence of maps that illustrate each stage of what will happen,” says Chet Van Duzer, a historian of cartography who has written a book about the previously unstudied manuscript. The geography is sketchy by modern standards, but the maps make one thing perfectly clear: If you’re a sinner, you’ve got nowhere to hide. The Antichrist is coming, and his four horns will reach the corners of the earth. And it just gets worse from there. Several recent deadly attacks in Iraq by ISIS including at a state-run gas plant in Baghdad on Sunday that killed at least 11 while ISIS militants also gunned down at least 14 Real Madrid football fans, as also heard in the 2nd video below from Gary Franchi of the Next News Network. As we learn, 'football' isn't 'approved by Islam' so they simply decided to go blow some people up. Isn't this death and destruction approved by Allah more proof that Islam as a 'religion' is really a sickening joke? At ANP, we're happy to insult any so-called 'prophet' who preached hatred and death to Christians and those of other religious persuasions who simply don't go along with Islam as their chosen faith. While some terrorists might seek it, Sharia law will never stand a chance in America...simply put, many Americans have far too many weapons and are far too ready to defend ourselves and our Constitution, legally of course, against terrorists who seek to impose their will forcefully upon us. As the Washington Examiner pointed out in this new story linked to by the Drudge Report this morning, preppers believe that Obama has purposely divided America and that we are now on course for Civil War in this country. If that's the case, and we indeed are heading towards civil war in America, we can clearly see the battle lines being drawn. While we pray that another civil war never comes to America, it's clear that those who are supporting and assisting terrorists while going up against the American people have aligned themselves with unspeakable evil. In seeking to overthrow the US Constitution while helping to ensure that sharia law continues to creep into America, all bets are off for this nation and our future. “The West’s propensity for ignorance is nothing short of astounding. …. Never before have books on the subject of Islamic history and terrorism been so prolific, yet the same old opinions on the causes of Islamic violence remain as popular, uniformed and widespread as ever.” -- Australian writer Warner MacKenzie in his article “It’s the ideology, Stupid” about the failure of the West to face the danger of Sharia Law Sharia Law is incompatible with the U.S. Constitution. Therefore, those seeking to further Sharia Law are a "political" threat we should not tolerate. We have every moral and legal right to prevent those holding this ideology from entering the United States as immigrants. In 1952, during a critical time of the Cold War against the ideology of communism, Congress passed the Immigration and Naturalization Act, specifying that those seeking citizenship in the United States must be "attached to the principles of the Constitution.” Ensuring we allow no immigrants who desire to further Sharia Law is fair and allows for religious freedom by distinguishing faith in God from a political ideology. The war against radical Islam is worldwide and the goal of our enemy is establishment of Sharia Law throughout the world. Americans need not give into discrimination against those who believe in their understanding of God as a personal matter. Let's keep our religious freedom, but let's also determine to keep Sharia Law out of America.

FEMA Slave Labor Camps Are Becoming Operational-The First Prisoners Have Arrived

There are three type of prisons inside the United States. There is the one, that the people see. In this instance, the prison works in conjunction with legal authorities and their activities are transparent. A second type of prison system is the privatized system which has degenerated into system of slave labor which benefits Wall Street with free labor. The third of type of prison is a FEMA camp for political prisoners. The Government admits to two such facilities and they call them Communications Management Units. The latter operates under the auspices of the NDAA. They are everything that the old Soviet Gulags were made of. What is presented in this article is a brief review of the second and third type of prisons in the United States. After reading this article and watching the associated videos it can be said that any journalist who denies the existence of FEMA camps, is not worthy of the public’s consideration. The United States Is the World’s Biggest Jailer The United States only has about four percent of the world’s population. Yet, the U.S. presently incarcerates over one quarter (25%) of the world’s prison population. In this, the land of the free and the home of the brave, an American citizen has a six times greater chance of being incarcerated than in most other countries. We lead the world in per-capita incarceration rates and the number is growing by leaps and bounds. Over the past 45 years, our prison population has risen by 700%. Incredibly, one in 99 American adults are behind bars in the U.S. Further, one in 31 adults are under some form of correctional control (e.g. prison, jail, parole and probation populations). All too frequently, incarcerations are the result of low-level, non-violent offenses. Given our incarceration rates, it is apparent that the number one goal of our justice system is to incarcerate as many poor people as possible who do not have the economic means to fight back. These conditions are leading to the creation of a “prison industrial complex” that is just as real and just as corrupt as the military industrial complex. Privatizing Probation for Fun and Profit The prison industrial complex is motivated by profit. Privatized corporations have been given extra-judicial authority in this country to jail as many people as possible. And they have found an old way to accomplish this goal. The end result is that on an increasing basis, our prison population is made up of nonviolent offenders who cannot pay their court costs. In other words, our prisons are increasingly being turned into debtors prisons. Prison for Profit The GEO Group is not the only profitable privatized prison group. The Corrections Corporation of America is the largest private prison operator in the United States. The CCA procured its first private prison in, ironically, 1984. Did you know that in many states, privatized prisons are guaranteed 90%to 100% occupancy rates by the government? According to the California Prison Focus “The private contracting of prisoners for work fosters incentives to lock people up. Prisons depend on this income. Corporate stockholders who make money off prisoners’ work lobby for longer sentences, in order to expand their workforce. The system feeds itself,” says a study by the Progressive Labor Party, which accuses the prison industry of being “an imitation of Nazi Germany with respect to forced slave labor and concentration camps.” A Globalist Endeavor to Incarcerate As Many People As Possible Privatized prisons are big business, very big business. The GEO Group, headquartered in Boca Raton, Fla., claimed $115 million in profits on $1.52 billion in revenue in 2013. The GEO Group is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange, is worth $2.3 billion, and it paid Chairman and Chief Executive George Zoley $4.62 million in total compensation in 2013. According to public analysis from the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC), the largest holder in Corrections Corporation of America is Vanguard Group Incorporated. Vanguard is a major player in controlling several media giants. Vanguard is the third largest holder in Viacom and AOL Time Warner. Vanguard is also the third largest holder in the GEO Group. The GEO group, second only in size to the CCA with regard to privatized prisons as it controls over 100 correctional facilities in the US, UK, Australia and South Africa. In addition to CCA’s unwarranted control over the media, the number-one holder of both Viacom and Time Warner is a company called Blackrock. Blackrock is the second largest holder in CCA, and the sixth largest holder in the GEO Group in this never-ending incestuous relationship. This is why you are not hearing about these abuses in the media. By association, the media is a partner in locking up as many prisoners as possible for slave labor purposes. Overt Slave Labor Many of Wall Street’s giants have been invited to the party and are reaping huge profits. The following is a list of the corporations that contract with CCA and GEO to produce American slave labor goods. They include Intel, Northern Telecom, TWA, Nordstrom’s Boeing, Motorola, Microsoft, AT&T, Wireless, 3Com, Revlon, Macy’s, Pierre Cardin. Texas Instrument, Dell, Compaq, Honeywell, Hewlett-Packard, Nortel, Lucent Technologies, Target, and countless more. All of these businesses are excited about the economic boom generation by prison slave labor and most actively lobby for mandatory sentencing. Generally, prison inmates in state run penitentiaries generally receive minimum wage for their work. In Agenda 21 controlled Colorado, they only receive about $2 per hour, well under the minimum for state run prisons. However, Colorado inmates are rich compared to inmates in privately-run prisons where they can receive as little as 17 cents per hour. This is worse than Walmart slave labor in China! The highest-paying private prison run by the CCA pays 50 cents per hour for “highly skilled positions.” I am not sure how this is even legal as I remember reading something about the 13th Amendment. FEMA Prisons Being Built Within Private Prisons The government will fully admit that they have FEMA type prisons within two Supermax prisons in the United States. It is estimated that about 70 people are being held in CMU units in two federal penitentiaries –, namely, in Terre Haute, Indiana and Marion, Illinois. This is an NDAA program and these prisons were created to isolate and segregate certain prisoners from the general prison population, and to restrict and monitor communications between inmates and the outside world. Once assigned to the Communications Management Units (CMUs), prisoners are banned from any physical contact with friends or family, and phone calls and letters are restricted too. If they mention anything about the conditions, they will instantly have 26 years added to their sentence and no judge or jury will ever be involved. The Board of Prisons, like the FDA, the BLM and the EPA are allowed to make up their own laws as they need. Here is one reporters account of his experience in a CMU. This is the side of the CMU that the government lets the public see. There is a hidden side that represents the worst of Stalin and Hitler. The FEMA Prison within a Prison There is the case of Schaeffer Cox. He was a Second Amendment proponent. He was nonviolent, but was steadfast about the right of the people to control guns. He was also speaking about the power of the purse returning to the people as well. These are two issues that a tyrannical government does not want the people to control. Subsequently, Cox’s group was infiltrated by FBI undercover agents of provocation. The FBI agents suggested killing law enforcement to make their point. Cox rejected the arguments. The FBI reported to the Alaskan CPS that Cox was abusing his children. The FBI tried to create a scenario where Cox would resist arrest and they could kill him as they did with Lavoy Finnicum in Oregon in the BLM controversy. Cox was arrested and his trial was a kangaroo court. The judge would not allow evidence to be introduced that he was being framed. He was prosecuted for the actions of the FBI undercover agents who verbally plotted against the government, even though Cox rejected their intentions. This was all recorded and the federal judge would not allow the tapes to be entered into evidence. Cox is a political prisoner and is being held under the NDAA. He has no physical interaction with family, his time on phone is less than any federal prisoner, he banned from speaking about his conditions of confinement. If he violates these provisions, he will have another 26 years tacked on to his sentence. Cox’s story is told here, and it starts at the nine minute mark. It’s What They Aren’t Telling You That Is Important First, CMU’s are FEMA camps within a prison. However, the two known facilities are only the tip of the iceberg. Any prison can create a FEMA camp prison within a prison. I have an insider source who tells me that this is being beta tested in several prisons and that the “disappearing homeless” are their prime guests and they are being used to train the staff at these covert FEMA camp sites. I believe that this will be ultimate fate of people in the Independent Media. An FBI stooge will do what they did to Cox, They will write in on a website of a talk show host and suggest violence and the talk show host will be prosecuted for the actions of the FBI. Conclusion Meet the new prisons. They are often prisons within prisons. They practice slave labor and worse yet, they are the new FEMA camps which can be hidden in plain site. I would request that my fellow Americans make this go viral so we can raise awareness against the new American Gulag.

Legend Warns Risk Of Total Global Collapse Is Greater Today Than Any Time In History

May 15, 2016

On the heels of wild start to the 2016 trading year, today the man who has become legendary for his predictions on QE, historic moves in currencies, and major global events, just warned that the risk of total global collapse is greater today than any time in history. Egon von Greyerz: “The US economy has been a wonder for a major part of the last 100 years. For the first half of that time, the economic wonder was genuine. There was real growth and investment was financed primarily by savings. Real wages were growing and the budget was balanced. There was also a trade surplus and only moderate growth of debt. The US wonder started to fade slowly in the 1960s. In 1961, the US started a record run of 55 years of budget deficits, a disastrous trend that is unlikely to end in the next ten years… In Volatile Markets, Is Wealth Preservation King? In a King World News interview I spoke with the man who predicted the Swiss National Bank would experience staggering losses and that the Fed would also experience massive losses that will destabilize the global financial system! His company is the only one in the world offering a precious metals investment service outside the banking system, with direct ownership and full control by the investor. He has also become legendary for his predictions on QE, historic moves in currencies, and major global events. To find out what he and his company can do to help answer that age old question for you CLICK HERE. Egon von Greyerz continues: “The Clinton surpluses were fake as debt continued to increase in that period. The cost of wars is always a major drain on the finances of empires. The Vietnam war was costly and gradually the US current account surpluses started to decline, leading to a falling dollar. With gold backing the dollar, it was more difficult to print money. As sovereign nations, led by de Gaulle in France, refused to accept the weakening dollar as payment from the US and instead demanded gold, Nixon finally closed the gold window on 15 August 1971. This was a disastrous decision and the beginning of the end of the US economic wonder. And today, 45 years later, the US is still a wonder. Well that is a massive understatement. The US is an absolute miracle. Because it is totally incomprehensible how a country can survive with chronic budget and trade deficits and with debts which are increasing exponentially and that will never be repaid in today’s money. So how has it been possible for the US to maintain the totally unique position of being able to issue and sell debt that by any measurement is worthless and that can only be serviced by issuing more debt. To impose on the rest of the world to use the dollar for international trade has been one prerequisite. But to make that work properly, it has also become necessary for the US to police the global financial system and to penalize any country, bank or individual who doesn’t abide by US financial laws and regulations. Another crucial prerequisite is to have a strong military machine which the US has with a total of 800 bases in over 100 countries. Even The Mighty Roman Empire Destroyed Itself

The dilemma is that an empire always has the seeds of its own destruction within it. This is true for all fallen empires whether it is the Persian, Roman, Mongol or British. In very simplistic terms, once the conquered land has been plundered of cheap or free goods and resources, combined with cheap or slave labour, the conqueror loses his focus as well as control and starts to live above its means at the same time as the resources are running out. The conqueror still believes they can maintain the high standard of living for their country but now has to borrow and print money to achieve that. Eventually money runs out and the decline of the conquering nation is a fact. The final act of desperation of an empire in decline, with massive debts, is often to start a war. This diverts attention from the financial state of the country and makes it possible to borrow even more money in a final attempt to save the country. The US has of course never been an empire in the sense that it has not expanded its territory in any major way except for temporary intervention or interference in other countries. Initially the US empire was built on an entrepreneurial spirit which created a very powerful country and the world’s biggest economy. The US became the world’s greatest manufacturer and dominated the world for many decades. But as mentioned above, the downturn started slowly in the 1960s and accelerated in the 1970s as the dollar fell. Gradually over the last few decades, the US strong manufacturing base has declined and most manufacturing jobs transferred to China and other emerging markets. As a consequence, US average wages for workers have declined in real terms since the 1970s. This is quite ironic, as US workers are buying cheaper products from the Chinese, their wages are declining and thus erasing the benefit of the cheaper imports. Not only that, but as the Chinese workers are improving their standard of living and saving a major percentage of their income, US workers are finding it hard to make ends meet and therefore borrow more money to maintain their standard of living. US total debt, including unfunded liabilities such as Medicare and insurance, has ballooned in the last 30-40 years and now stand at around $300 trillion. That is almost 1,700% of GDP, dramatically worse than any major nation. But even if we look at total US debt excluding the unfunded liabilities, it is 400% which by any measure is massive and unsustainable. Fed’s “Wizard Of Debt,” Ben Bernanke, Enabled U.S. Debt To Skyrocket So is there any chance for the US to reduce this debt over coming years or decades? Well, it is certainly guaranteed that none of this debt will ever be repaid. Just take US Federal debt at $19 trillion. Bernanke managed to contribute to this debt more than doubling from $8 trillion to $17 trillion between 2006 and 2014. So far Janet Yellen has been fortunate to contribute to a mere $2 trillion increase. But that’s just the beginning. The CBO (Central Budget Office) is forecasting that US debt will grow by another $9 trillion in the next ten years to $28 trillion. But this “optimistic” projection assumes that wages and tax revenues will grow at normal rates of increase. But if we assume subpar growth in both income and fiscal revenue, we could easily see the deficit ballooning to average $2 trillion per year and the debt to $38-50 trillion. I know that few people will subscribe to this projection, but tell me anyone who forecast that US debt would to double between 2006 and 2014. So far in this century, every single forecaster whether they are the IMF, World Bank, OECD, the Fed, other central banks as well as governments have been consistently wrong and hugely optimistic in their projections. And as we approach the culmination of the biggest economic and financial bubble in world history, they will be dramatically wrong in their forecasts. So what do Druckenmiller, Dalio, Paulson, Singer, Bass and many other hedge fund founders all have in common? Well, they have all become billionaires by identifying risk and spotting trends and investment opportunities. And each one of these gentlemen sees the risks that I have outlined above and recommend gold as the most important asset class to insure against unprecedented global risk. Risk Of Global Collapse Is Greater Today Than Any Time In History What is totally clear is that global risk, both economic, financial and geopolitical, is today greater than any time in history. We obviously don’t know when this risk will turn into a global cataclysm of a magnitude that the world has never previously experienced previously. What we do know is that just like with fire insurance, you must buy your protection before the event. Gold is the most perfect insurance you can own as long as it is in physical form and stored outside the financial system. Because gold has survived every crisis in history and has, over time, always maintained its purchasing power, whatever the circumstances. Also, remember that gold is the only insurance you can buy that will at least maintain its purchasing power or, in the case of economic calamity, vastly outperform every other asset.

Platinum and palladium markets to go into deficit in 2016: GFMS

End of strikes in South Africa pushed production back up, but higher supply offset by robust autocatalyst demand

Andrew Topf | about 20 hours ago |

There is good news on the horizon for investors of platinum group metals (PGMs), though a reader has to scrutinize the fine print in the latest report from GFMS to find it. The GFMS team at Thompson Reuters released their annual GFMS Platinum Group Survey 2016 (registration required) last week. In it, GFMS forecasts the platinum market will return to a small deficit in 2016 and the deficit in palladium will deepen, with the chief determinant of lowered supply for platinum being a reduction in mined metal. "There will be little addition from new projects in the development pipeline while the headwinds of mines' reduced capital spending is expected to start to weigh," say the report's authors. But while the supply-demand fundamentals look positive for platinum and palladium, GFMS says it is broader macroeconomic criteria that will be the primary price drivers of PGMs this year. "The GFMS forecast sees broad support from extremely gradual U.S. monetary tightening, paving the way for higher prices in 2016, particularly for palladium." Dissecting how the markets for palladium, platinum and rhodium changed between 2014 and 2015, GFMS says the prices of all three metals fell "on the back of a year unimpeded by industrial action in South Africa and amid a bad year for commodity returns generally." Readers will recall the 5-month strikes at platinum mines in South Africa in 2014. The end of those strikes pushed combined production of platinum, palladium and rhodium by 37%, the highest since 2011. The price reductions were also exacerbated by: liquidations of ETF positions, with platinum investors reducing their positions by 0.26 million ounces; the Volkswagen scandal, which pushed expected demand for diesel vehicles lower- platinum is a primary ingredient in auto catalysts; and the lower South African rand, which depreciated 26 percent between 2014 and 2015. 2015 platinum: marginal surplus A rebound in mine production pushed the platinum market back into a marginal surplus. According to GFMS, global output recovered 27% to 6.16 million ounces, while in South Africa, production was up 40%. The weak rand and and a 23% reduction in costs also augmented the production figures. The net balance for palladium, adjusting for movements of palladium in ETFs, shows a slightly smaller surplus of 265,000 ounces in 2015 compared to 375,000 ounces in 2014. Scrap jewelry supply was robust, climbing 4% in 2015 to 0.54 million ounces, the highest level since 2011, driven mostly by a 21% surge in Chinese scrap supply. In contrast, in North America and Japan low platinum prices saw recycling volumes slip to near-decade lows. Autocatalyst scrap declined by 14% in 2015, giving up gains of the last two years to reach 0.93 million ounces says GFMS, particulary North American and Europe, "as lower steel and PGM prices impeded the flow of scrap down the supply chain." On the demand side, platinum consumption in autocatalysts rose by 2% last year to 3.0 million ounces, with the off road sector being the primary demand driver at a 24% increase. However platinum used for making jewelry dropped by 4% to 2.46 million ounces, mostly due to lower consumer spending capabilities in China. Industrial segments were also weaker, with the chemicals sector down 17%, the petroleum industry retreating 18%, and platinum demanded by electronics also dropping. 2015 palladium: deficit shrinks A 9% increase in mine production shrunk the palladium deficit considerably in 2015. The end of strikes in South Africa pushed production in that country up 32% to the world's highest-level producer, while Canadian palladium output dropped 10% and Russia's remained steady. The net balance shrank from a 1.571 million ounce deficit in 2014 to just 290,000 ounces last year. The biggest contributor to supply was autocatalyst scrap which, while off by 11%, was still 1.6 million ounces, the second highest level recorded. Palladium jewelry scrap was also up, by 7% to 0.27 million ounces, a new high. The growth was exclusively driven by China, with low metal prices crushing recycling volumes in other markets, according to GFMS. Demand-wise, palladium used in autocatalysts was up 4% to 6.89 million ounces. In contrast, demand for industrial applications was weaker all-round, falling to a 10-year low of 2.17 million ounces. Jewelry demand slipped for the seventh consecutive year, to 0.35 million ounces. "China was the chief culprit," says GFMS, with demand there plummeting 70% after several fabricators left the industry.

Greeks switch to bartering because there's not enough currency

by Jonathan Chew @sochews September 21, 2015, 10:57 AM EDT

Got beef? Get a new truck.

Greeks are turning to the age-old system of bartering to help combat the country’s liquidity crisis. Artistic designs are being exchanged for olive oil, accounting tips for office supplies, and 6,000 new users signed up for online bartering site Tradenow after capital controls were imposed in June, according to the New York Times. “In Greece there’s a major liquidity problem,” Thodoris Roussos, a Greek butcher who bought a new truck with his own meat, told the Times. “People are finding it more convenient to trade because money is not readily available.” This only underscores the task ahead for Alexis Tsipras, whose left-wing Syriza party won a convincing victory in Sunday’s national elections. Capital controls that were imposed on Greek banks on June 29 are still in place, and a bank run of around $3.3 billion by savers still leaves financial institutions severely undercapitalized. There are signs of optimism however for Tsipras’ government. Of the $97 billion-bailout from partners in the eurozone, European lenders have earmarked 25 billion euros ($27 billion) for a bank recapitalization. A recent check revealed that bad debt in Greek banks might be less than first thought, and the economic outlook might paint a more optimistic picture.

Barter activity explodes across Venezuela as failed socialist economic policies leave entire nation on verge of economic collapse

Sunday, December 06, 2015 by: Jennifer Lea Reynolds

(NaturalNews) While most people think of Facebook and Twitter as a way to share photos and exchange comments for fun and news-sharing reasons, residents in Venezuela are turning to social media for something entirely different – and it's saddening. There, it's not uncommon for people to barter for the likes of infant formula, medication, batteries and diapers. The unfortunate situation isn't just a phase, either. It's a reflection of the dire economic situation in the country, where failed policies have put the area on the edge of financial collapse. The bottom line is that Venezuela gets about 70 percent of its goods from abroad, however, the area's fast-falling oil prices have prevented the government there from importing. As a result, the economy has shifted to a culture where a black market lifestyle is the norm, and people can expect items to cost upwards of three times their original price.(1) To escape the corruption and avoid such absurdity, the people have been left with no other choice but to barter on a daily basis. In some instances, people have actually created Facebook swapping sites in which goods can be exchanged. Yannilay Liendo is one such person; she's a 16-year-old who created Super Anti-Bachaqueo Truekes, which essentially translates to "Super Anti-Gouger Swap," where more than 1,000 members remain active. (1)What it's come down to: social media swapping sites and businessmen clamoring for tampons She says she created the swapping page out of desperation, mainly because she had a hard time finding food, even in her own neighborhood. However, a pharmacy close by had things like shampoo and soaps, which other people needed. Thus, her idea was born.(1) There's even a Twitter handle, @spvzla, which some 14,000 people are following in order to trade and barter medicine. Additionally, others turn to the WhatsApp group, "Searching for Diapers."(1) It's also a normal sight to witness businessmen clamoring for tampons when a shipment arrives. In some cases it's for their wives, but many of the men have said they hope to trade the tampons for other toiletries.(1) Government's bizarre approach to situation is destroying people's health As for medications and providing life-saving treatments to people there, OZY.com has reported that "Bills have piled up to the tune of some $245 million -- and that doesn't include money owed to drug companies, maintenance firms or other health careproviders [sic]." Unfortunately, about 15 percent of Venezuela's cancer patients are dying, thanks to a socialist government that doesn't allow hospitals to release drug shortage details, but instead places the blame on the people who are smuggling items.(2) Furthermore, pharmacists and other medical experts find themselves in a difficult situation: they're required to stay open despite not having medicines to provide. All the while people don't have access to treatment in the first place. It's all simply ludicrous.(2) And even though this trade and barter system may seem successful, it's really just creating stress and a horrible way of life for Venezuelans. First of all, it's important to remember the reason this way of life exists there in the first place: a failed economy that's so bad that the Venezuelan government doesn't even bother to release its monthly "scarcity index" anymore – mainly because percentage rates have already fallen to alarmingly low levels. Shortages are typical, and many people go long periods of time without everyday items such as coffee or sugar.(1) "In my house we don't even know what a bean looks like anymore," says 57-year-old Jose Gomez. "It's been eight months since I've been able to buy deodorant."(1) Why this matters in America, and why we need to take action now So, why does this matter here in America? Not only should it be part of our human nature to care about the welfare of others, no matter where in the world they live, but the reality is that it could also happen to us in the United States. Natural News editor Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, has long warned that America is teetering on the edge of a similar economic collapse. He maintains that in the United States the relationship between cheap fossil fuels and a cheap food supply will put us on the brink of starvation and ultimately lead to shortages and revolutions.(3) The time is now to take steps to ensure your family's protection. Remain educated about these world happenings; always ask questions; do whatever is necessary to practice self-sustainability where you live (listen to the Health Ranger's report on permaculture here), and remember, the government works for you – not the other way around.

Venezuela Declares Another Emergency: It Has Run Out of Food – Government Blames US For Supermarket Lootings As Food Shortages Bite

Posted on May 16, 2016 Written by Amy S.

Venezuela’s opposition legislature has declared a “nutritional emergency,” proclaiming that the country simply does not have enough food to feed its population. The move comes after years of socialist rationing and shortages that forced millions to wait on lines lasting as long as six hours for a pint of milk, a bag of flour, or carton of cooking oil. Opposition legislator Julio Borges announced the measure on Thursday, which would allow the legislature to push for more imports on basic food goods and inspect government-owned food companies to ensure they are meeting efficiency standards. “This will make corporations and expropriated lands produce food again, will simplify the process of national and foreign investment, and establish incentives for investors,” Borges promised. Socialist party members are arguing that the decree goes beyond the scope of the power of the legislature and cannot override the executive decree President Nicolás Maduro put into motion in January, which declared an “economic emergency” and allowed the government to further intervene in private corporations. Venezuela’s Supreme Court extended the viability of the emergency decree this week, in a move many consider an attempt to keep the opposition legislature from asserting too much power over the food industry in Venezuela. Venezuelan Food Shortage Brings Looting. Hours after they looted and set fire to a National Guard command post in this sun-baked corner of Venezuela earlier this month, a mob infuriated by worsening food shortages rammed trucks into the smoldering edifice, reducing it mostly to rubble, according to The Wall Street Journal. Venezuela’s opposition legislature has declared a “nutritional emergency,” proclaiming that the country simply does not have enough food to feed its population. The move comes after years of socialist rationing and shortages that forced millions to wait on lines lasting as long as six hours for a pint of milk, a bag of flour, or carton of cooking oil. A Self Sustaining Source Of Fresh Meat,Vegetables And Clean Drinking Water The incident was just one of numerous violent clashes that have flared in pockets around the country in recent weeks as Venezuelans wait for hours in long supermarket lines for basics like milk and rice. Shortages have made hunger a palpable concern for many Wayuu Indians who live here at the northern tip of Venezuela’s 1,300-mile border with Colombia. The soldiers had been deployed to stem rampant food smuggling and price speculation, which President Nicolás Maduro blames for triple-digit inflation and scarcity. But after they seize contraband goods, the troops themselves often become targets of increasingly desperate people. RELATED : YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED FOOD STORAGE — HERE ARE SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT REASONS TO STORE EXTRA FOOD In a national survey, the pollster Consultores 21 found 30 percent of Venezuelans eating two or fewer meals a day during the second quarter of this year, up from 20 percent in the first quarter. Around 70 percent of people in the study also said they had stopped buying some basic food item because it had become unavailable or too expensive. Don’t wait until food becomes scarce; start preparing for the future now by becoming as self-reliant as possible. Your long-term chances of survival could very well depend on your ability to feed yourself and your family without relying on someone else. Venezuela Declares ‘Economic Emergency’ that Allows President to Rule by Decree. Maduro has previously imposed rule by decree, citing economic emergencies. In 2013, shortly after becoming president following the death of dictator Hugo Chávez, Maduro forced through the socialist-controlled legislature a law that allowed him to govern by decree for a year. Maduro used those powers to implement a number of new price controls. Maduro announced the economic state of emergency shortly before arriving at the legislature for the annual State of the Nation address, where he insisted that “the revolutionary, socialist power of the people will not lower its flags” and urged the opposition lawmakers not to “fall into the temptation of breaking necessary balances.” He blamed the economic crisis on a “macabre game of damaging an entire society, a game of making the people suffer until they surrender” played by “the empire” [the United States]. In particular, Maduro demanded “unanimous support” in forcing President Barack Obama to repeal sanctions issued last year against Venezuela, a response to numerous human rights violations by the Maduro government. “I ask the National Assembly to support me to remove this unjust, illegal threat from over our heads… [a threat] rejected by all of Latin America and our brothers around the world.” The opposition has rejected most of Maduro’s economic efforts, calling his rule-by-decree “extremely dangerous” for the well-being of the nation. “What is coming is more inflation, more shortages, and more problems, that decree will fix absolutely nothing,” William Dávila, a newly-minted opposition lawmaker, told reporters this week. The decree, he added, “is practically giving carte blanche to the government to keep expropriating and even to create a small ‘corral’ to limit the use of currency in banks.” “Maduro says he wants to stimulate investments, production, and exports. There is one measure that would achieve that immediately: his resignation,” former National Assembly member María Corina Machado said following the decree. Machado served in the legislature until April 2014, when she was arbitrarily expelled and attacked with tear gas when she attempted to enter her office. Maduro has used the alleged threat of U.S. imperialism and “economic war” to expand the powers of his office to rule be decree. Despite railing against both President Barack Obama and Venezuelan businessman, the socialist government is losing its grip on the social and economic life of the nation. With shortages across the country, the black market has ballooned. Smugglers are reaping huge profits buying subsidized goods and reselling them in neighboring Colombia. In 2014, the smuggling epidemic was so intense the government posted 17,000 troops on the Colombian border and closed crossings at night. It has been estimated that as much as 40 percent of Venezuela’s subsidized goods are smuggled. Furthermore, the collapsing price of oil has delivered a heavy blow to the already beleaguered economy. Inflation continues to soar with the last published figures from December showing a rate of 68.5 percent.

We not only give you a detailed update on life in Caracas but a complete social and economic breakdown of the situation on the ground. RELATED : TRUMP warns of massive recession, martial law ,food stamp – Massive riots, huge crime waves expected in many US cities The is why, Español Ramón Muchacho, Mayor of Chacao in Caracas, said the streets of the capital of Venezuela are filled with people killing animals for food. “Muchacho reported that in Venezuela, it is a “painful reality” that people “hunt cats, dogs and pigeons” to ease their hunger.” Subsquently, Muchacho warned that Caribbean islands and Colombia may suffer an influx of refugees from Venezuela if food shortages continue in the country. “As hunger deepens, we could see more Venezuelans fleeing by land or sea to an island,” Muchacho said. And that is how all socialist utopias always end. Meanwhile, as civil war appears inevitable, as previously reported there are factions vying to oust Maduro, although we are confident the dictator will hang on for dear life (literally) and force his population to endure more of this socialist nightmare. One can only hope that these shocking scenes remain relegated to the streets of offshore socialist paradises, although Americans should always prepare for the worst in case they eventually manage to make their way into the country.

Chinese pour $110bn into US real estate, says study

Investment is set to double in the next five years as wealthy rush to get their money into overseas assets, especially houses

Agence France-Presse Sunday 15 May 2016 22.36 EDT

Chinese nationals have become the largest foreign buyers of US property after pouring billions into the market in search of safe offshore assets, according to a study. A huge surge in Chinese buying of both residential and commercial real estate last year took their five-year investment total to more than $110bn, according to the study from the Asia Society and Rosen Consulting Group. The sheer size of that total has helped the real estate market recover from the crash that began in 2006 and precipitated the 2008 economic crisis, they said. Chinese investment in property has also helped to inflate prices in other developed countries, notably the UK and Australia in the wake of the dip in world stock markets in 2015. And despite a slowdown due to Beijing’s subsequent clampdown on capital outflows, the figure for the second half of this decade is likely to double to $218bn, the study said. “What makes China different and noteworthy is the combination of the high volume of investment (and) the breadth of its participation across all real estate categories,” including a “somewhat unique entry into residential purchases,” the study said. The authors of the study said their numbers, based on public and real estate industry data, understate the total. They necessarily miss purchases made by front companies and trusts that do not identify the sources of the funds. Big deals such as the Anbang insurance group’s $2bn purchase of the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York last year and its failed $14bn offer for the Starwood group in March have made headlines. But the study said Chinese buying of US homes far outpaces its investment in commercial land and buildings. Between 2010 and 2015, Chinese buyers put more than $17bn into US commercial real estate, with half of that spent last year alone. Unlike many countries, there are very few restrictions on what foreigners can buy in the US. But during the same period at least $93bn went into US homes. And in the 12 months to March 2015, the latest period for which relatively comprehensive data could be gathered, home purchases totaled $28.5bn. That took the Chinese past Canadians, who have long been the biggest foreign buyers of US residential real estate. Geographically, Chinese buyers are concentrated in the most expensive markets: New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle. Property in Chicago, Miami and Las Vegas is also popular. That focus means they pay well above the average US home price: last year, Chinese buyers paid on average about $832,000 per home in the United States, compared with the average for all foreign purchases of $499,600. The motivations are broad: some are buying second homes, some are buying as they move to the United States on EB-5 investor visas; some are investing for rental and resale. Most of the money in US homes, the study noted, is private wealth, not corporate. “This familiarity of utilizing real estate as an investment or wealth preservation tool is more prevalent in China and reflects the broader comfort of purchasing second homes in the United States by Chinese individuals and families,” the study noted. Since last year, there has also been the motivation to get money outside China and into dollar assets amid worry about the continued fall in the yuan, which was devalued slightly against the US dollar in August. The study says it expects a lot more commercial real estate buys in the United States by Chinese companies. Last month, Chinese conglomerate HNA announced it would buy the 1,400-hotel group Carlson Hotels, owner of the Radisson brand. “Anbang is not the only firm looking at these assets. Other Chinese entities were originally interested in acquiring Starwood in 2015 before Marriott reached an initial deal, including Jin Jiang Hotel Group, which had already acquired a European hotel chain in 2015, and CIC, the sovereign wealth fund,” the study said. In Australia, the government recently blocked an attempt by Dakang Holdings to buy the Kidman farmland empire whose assets cover 1.3% of the Australian land mass.

The Human Slaughterhouses in Mexico Dwarf Anything the Islamic State has Done

Posted by Walid Shoebat

If you doubt that masses of human beings are being ritually sacrificed as we speak on the altar of Mesoamerican gods, then watch this just released documentary. Behold, the human slaughterhouses in Mexico and the United States. The compelling, shocking and eye opening documentary makes it impossible to deny; a quarter million people (and rising), butchered. This is a holocaust that dwarfs anything ISIS ever produced, all because millions in the Americas chose to hate their Christian heritage opting instead to adhere to the paganism of Mesoamerica. A Shoebat.com epic production, a one year investigative project which exposes the consequences of abandoning Christianity including the right to bear arms. It shatters myths. For example, most say ‘the majority of homicide in Mexico and the U.S. involve drugs and gangs killing each other’. This is a warped view as the footage reveals it is mostly civilians who are ritually sacrificed in mass numbers on the altar of the Mesoamerican gods. The human sacrificial aspect of homicide, as the experts reveal, only unravels in courts and not when the media initially discovers the cases. The documentary makes a compelling case for the right to bear arms when twenty thousand Christian defenders made of peasants, women, young men and even the elderly, defying the tyranny of the Mexican narco-state, decided to fight back. These are the “Autodefensas” (self-defenders). They get scant media coverage from the government controlled Mexican media while the liberal media abroad completely ignores their plight since it involves the right of a people to bear arms. The ‘defenders’ rejecting Mexico’s ban on the right to bear arms is something Americans can appreciate. It responds to liberal politicians and the media’s undermining the second amendment by blaming guns instead of villains. The problem is not only the media. In one respect, the church has its hands tied. On the other hand the church, be it Catholic or Protestant, ignore these embarrassing failures to properly confront the epidemic which requires resorting to self-defense. The brutality next door to the U.S., dwarfs anything that ISIS ever came up with; a quarter million of Mexico’s population sacrificed to demons. And if we include all the unreported sacrifices, the death-toll probably doubles. Mexicans and the Pope can forget blaming Trump and start blaming themselves for allowing the leaven to slowly fester into their Christian culture. WHY EVERYONE MUST WATCH THIS Donald Trump’s Build That Wall angered many including even Pope Francis. Now Trump, the Pope and the whole world can watch this shocking new epic documentary and understand the problem. As the experts in the documentary reveal, it is the slow disintegration of Christianity that has been replaced by the re-introduction of the ancient Mesoamerican cult of death, all cloaked with pseudo-Catholic and pseudo-Evangelical facade. Homicide is only the symptom. Today Santa-Muerte, a pseudo Catholic cult with over twelve million adherents has already penetrated the U.S. Many of these adherents are educated doctors, lawyers and professionals who live near you. Then we have the Templarios, a pseudo Evangelical cult exported from Colorado to Mexico before mixing it with a dose of ancient Mesoamerican blend by force occupied the entire state of Michoacan in Mexico. Cults can occupy entire states. And we are not speaking of a primitive people here, but a decay to primitive paganism, the Mesoamerican paganism, that was continually pushed for decades at university campuses.

DOCUMENTARY DONE IN A BRILLIANT STYLE Theodore Shoebat included footage never seen before in any western media. Starting with the church underwater you are transported into a three hour journey. Broken into segments within three episodes loaded with crisp imagery and sound effects contrasting Mexico’s reality with Mesoamerican history showing how Mexico today has plunged back to dark times returning to the bloody Mesoamerican cult all with its ritualistic sacrificial system. The Mexican people then arise and fights back. It is only then that in the last scene, the church begins to re-emerge out of the water, well, somewhat, but only as result of Christian peasants putting up a fight. WHAT CAN YOU DO Share this and give a voice for the victims on U.S. media. Aid us at Rescue Christians which for a year, now, has been monitoring the situation and aiding financially through your contributions in strictly the humanitarian efforts. From setting up a soup kitchen for widows and orphans, for children whose fathers have been beheaded, to aiding the injured Christian victims in the fight for Mexico’s Christian survival; Rescue Christians was there. WHO DO WE BLAME? Educated historical revisionists and university professors in Mexico and the U.S. They brainwashed an entire generation to plaster Mesoamerican arts on street walls. Behold, Hell Across The Border is a documentary we want plastered on their faces telling them behold the fruits of your labors. To the Vatican that blames Donald Trump, we say, behold, the fruits of your slumber. The Pope’s visit to Mexico withheld the truth on the ground and was nothing but photo ops with complete silence. To the Wild at Heart by American evangelical author John Eldredge of the Colorado Springs who converted Mexicans, behold, the fruits of your evangelism. To the American addict, behold, the fruits of your addictions. To all the Mexicans who thought that a ‘peace deal’ could be struck with drug pushers, preferring Santa Muerte over our Lady of Guadalupe; narcocorridos songs over the classical, sublime and rustic Son Jarocho behold, the blood which is on your hands. Editor’s Note: The documentary has been streaming slow, at times, on our site. If you have problems you can follow this link to watch the video at Shoebat.com Rescue Christians does not agree with one comment made in the documentary by “Jorge Vazquez”, the media spokesperson for the Autodefensas saying that Mexico represents 98% Christians. Anyone can observe the fascination for the narcocorridos songs on Youtube which glorifies terrorism, guns and the death-cult. These poor quality songs gain an average between 17-48 million hits on Youtube. This is a society that is decaying and denigrating becoming violent and godless. To a world that thinks it is simply a “drug problem”, behold, the fruits of your myth, busted at the seem. The problem is your godlessness. To a world that says this is not my responsibility, here, Hell Across The Border, it is not coming soon to a theater near you, it is coming to sacrifice you, your children, someone you love or someone in your own community. The devil’s fear is your worst enemy while Jesus whom you abandoned was your best friend. Courtesy of Freedom Outpost

In the story of Snow White a young princess is tricked into eating a poisoned apple, which places her in a deep sleep until she is awoken by a prince. Since the Brothers Grimm made the concept famous over two hundred years ago, the idea of using 'suspended animation' has appeared in countless science fiction films to help humans travel to the stars. But now Nasa is funding an aerospace engineering company to develop technology for putting humans into a state of deep sleep for use in space transportation. The US space agency has awarded SpaceWorks $500,000 (£350,000) to develop the project. Films like Interstellar and Alien have all used cryosleep as a way to allow humans to travel deep into space on journeys that can take years. In real-life space missions, human crew and everything that goes along with it have a direct impact on mission mass, as well as number of launches required for the trip. But putting astronauts into short-term hibernation could make space travel more efficient. The habitat designed by Atlanta-based SpaceWorks is capable of placing the crew in an inactive 'torpor' state for the duration of the in-space mission segments. This substantially reduces the mass and size of the habitat, which ultimately leads to significant reductions in the amount of mass needed on board. 'The idea of suspended animation for interstellar human spaceflight has often been posited as a promising far-term solution for long-duration spaceflight,' said Dr John Bradford, CEO of SpaceWorks. The SpaceWorks habitat design a very small, pressurized module that is docked around a central node/airlock permitting direct access to the Mars ascent/descent vehicle and Earth entry capsule by the crew. 'We believe the crew habitat mass can be reduced to only 5-7 metric tonnes (mt) (11,000 - 15,000 lbs) for a crew of 4 to 6, compared to 20-50 mt (44,000 - 110,000 lbs) currently,' Dr Bradford said. 'The total habitat module volume would be on the order of 20 square metres (215 square feet), compared to 200 square metres (2150 square feet) for most current designs.' While the crew members are in a hypothermic state, various sensors would be hooked up to them so their conditions can be monitored. They would receive nutrition intravenously through total parenteral nutrition (TPN) - where a liquid containing all the essential elements needed for a human body to function and catheter to drain urine. The crew would be in this medically induced hypothermic state for 14 days at a time, with crew members taking turns being awake for two or three days at a time to ensure the needs of the crew and ship are met. Medically induced hypothermia is already used to treat a variety of conditions, including after heart attacks or brain and spinal cord injuries. The project is part of Nasa's Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Program, with 8 projects in total selected to proceed to the next stage of development, each receiving as much as $500,000 (£350,000) for a two-year study. 'The NIAC program is one of the ways Nasa engages the US scientific and engineering communities,' said Steve Jurczyk, associate administrator of Nasa's Space Technology Mission Directorate in Washington. '[This] including agency civil servants, by challenging them to come up with some of the most visionary aerospace concepts,' said Steve Jurczyk, associate administrator at Nasa. 'This year's Phase II fellows have clearly met this challenge.' SpaceWorks said it will use the funding to better understand the effects of prolonged hypothermia, and consider the technology's impact on other exploration missions. Another project involving cryogenic preservation is called 'Cryogenic Selective Surfaces', led by Dr Robert Youngquist, lead scientist at Nasa's Kennedy Space Flight Center. The project is aimed at creating a material that can thinly coat the space ship, reflecting more than most of the light and allowing it to reach incredibly low temperatures, and it could also be used for cryogenic storage. The coating, called 'Solar White' is predicted to reflect more than 99.9 per cent of the sun's energy when used in deep space. 'The ramifications of such a coating are broad and significant, ranging from enabling long-term cryogenic storage to allowing passive high temperature superconductor operation in space,' he said. 'As we venture into the solar system we would like to take oxygen with us,' Dr Youngquist told MailOnline. 'Right now we have to do this with heavy pressurized containers, but if we could make the oxygen cold enough it becomes a liquid and storing large amounts of it becomes much easier. The cryogenic coatings I've proposed appear to allow these very cold temperatures to be reached, potentially allowing us to bring liquid oxygen (LOX) out into the solar system. This could cool fuel tanks in space down to 300°F below zero (-184°C), with no energy input needed. 'My cryogenic coatings should allow cryogenic temperatures to be reached in space, something that is difficult to do now,' he said. 'So any application of cryogenics we have on earth, be that operating superconductors or preserving people, will now be possible in space.' Nasa says it selected these projects for their 'innovativeness and technical viability.' 'Phase II decisions are always challenging, but we were especially challenged this year with so many successful Phase I studies applying to move forward with their cutting-edge technologies,' said Jason Derleth, the NIAC program executive at Nasa Headquarters in Washington. Also included as part of the portfolio is a dual aircraft platform that may be able to stay aloft for weeks or even months at a time. The work is being led by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and consists of two glider-like unmanned aircraft which are connected via a thin, ultra-strong cable. A separate group is working on parachute made of plasma that can be trapped in a magnetic field to help probes glide safely back to Earth. Aerospace firm MSNW of Redmond, Washington, won a Nasa grant to demonstrate the technique on a CubeSat. Meanwhile, Texas Engineering Experiment is working on the design of a rotating habitat with a robotic system that constructs the structure allowing to 'grow' while in space. 'Whether it's tensegrity habitats in space, new ways to get humans to Mars, delicate photonic propulsion, or any one of the other amazing Phase II studies NIAC is funding, I'm thrilled to welcome these innovations and their innovators back to the program. 'Hopefully, they will all go on to do what NIAC does best - change the possible.' All projects are still in the early stages of development, most requiring 10 or more years of concept maturation and technology development before use on a Nasa mission.

‘Lord of the Rings’ Mount Doom volcano might be about to erupt, experts say

Posted on May 15, 2016

May 2016 – NEW ZEALAND – There are more signs of life at the volcano,” volcanologist Brad Scott from GNS Science told National Geographic. “Recent visits to the volcano have confirmed an increase in the output of volcanic gas.” On top of the gas, a swarm of tremors were recorded on the mountain in April, and the crater’s lake has been steadily rising in temperature since last month, increasing from 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) to 46 degrees Celsius (115 degrees Fahrenheit). That doesn’t mean the volcano is definitely about to erupt – the crater lake goes through a lot of these natural heating and cooling cycles. Since 2010, eight of these cycles have been recorded, and none of them have been associated with eruptions (three Level 2 alerts were issued during that time). “One of the common factors of the Crater Lake is it heats up and cools down. Typically those cycles last between nine and 14 months,” Scott told the press. “When there’s unrest that doesn’t always lead to an eruption. It can show more signs of life and then go back to a quieter state.” But the combination of the gas and seismic activity with the temperature rise is enough to keep people a safe distance from the crater. The good news is there’s not too much to worry about if the volcano does erupt – Ruapehu is the most active volcano on the north island of New Zealand and has erupted at least 60 times since 1945, with the majority of those eruptions being minor. The last time it went off was in 2007, with only one injury being reported from the incident – a hiker in the area got his leg trapped under a rock. That’s because the volcano is situated in the heart of Tongariro National Park, so unless people are nearby there’s not too much of a threat. According to Hall, the greatest risk from the volcano is a ‘lahar,’ which is a mud-flow often caused when a crater wall collapses. Air travel might also be affected, as we’ve seen in the past with the eruption of Mount Etna last year, and the Eyjafjallajökull eruption back in 2010. Researchers from Geonet – the national agency that monitors New Zealand’s geological threats – will continue to monitor the region closely over the next few weeks, so we’ll hopefully get plenty of warning if and when that does happen. In the meantime let’s hope all those Lord of the Rings fans listen to authorities and stay clear of the area. Note for those who are curious: most of those wide-angle shots of Mount Doom were computer generated for the film (sorry, no Eye of Sauron here) but a lot of the close-up Mordor scenes were filmed on the hissing, jagged slopes of Mount Ruapehu. –Science Alert

Storm Clouds In The West Roar Like Thunder – Do You Know How To Discern The Times?

He also said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, ‘A shower is coming.’ And so it happens. And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be scorching heat,’ and it happens. You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time? Luke 12:54-56 The Thunder are in the Western Conference finals, the Heat from the southernmost metropolitan city in the United States lose to the Raptors. The Golden Gate with Steph Curry and The Golden CAVs with King James from the city founded by Moses. We have an undeniable modern metaphor, hidden beneath the facade of entertainment lies a deeper reality written in the only book The Last Trump would rank ahead of The Art of The Deal. An onslaught of prophetic symbolism has taken place in the last 11 months. Each new piece of information builds upon the previous and they all point back to Moses and Mount Sinai. Golden State faced the Thunder three times this season. The first game was on the Eve of Super Bowl 50, the second was 239 days from the first day of America’s 239th year and had a total of 239 points as the final score. The third game was on 3/3 where Steph Curry scored 33 points and Prince was attendance 49 days prior to his death. Oh yea, that game on 3/3 was the 239th total regular season game these two teams have faced each other. The first was in 1967 the year Jerusalem was recaptured for the 44th time when the Thunder were the Seattle Supersonics. 239 is 9/23 – 9/23 was the Feast of Atonement in 2015, it is the date of the Revelation 12 sign and the Golden CAV wears #23 with 9 other players.

PM: Israel ready to work with Arab states on peace process

Netanyahu ‘welcomes’ Egyptian president’s appeal to Israelis, Palestinians to advance accord, praises his ‘leadership’

By Raoul Wootliff and Agencies May 17, 2016, 6:06 pm

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday said Israel is ready to engage with Arab states to advance a peace deal with the Palestinians. Netanyahu “welcomed” remarks by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, who said in a live televised statement earlier in the day that he saw a “real opportunity” for an Israeli-Palestinian peace settlement that would also lead to warmer ties between Egypt and the Jewish state. “Israel is ready to participate with Egypt and other Arab states in advancing both the diplomatic process and stability in the region,” Netanyahu said in a statement. “I appreciate President el-Sissi’s work and am encouraged by the leadership he has shown on this important issue.” In a rare direct appeal to Palestinians and Israelis, Sissi had urged the two peoples to draw hope from the “real and stable peace” between Israel and Egypt. “There is an Arab initiative, there is currently a French initiative, and there are American efforts” to broker an Israeli-Palestinian settlement, he said. His speech came hours after Paris announced that a Middle East peace conference initially slated to take place in the coming weeks would be postponed to ensure the US would be able to attend. France has made clear that despite the postponement, it plans to push ahead with the initiative to revive the moribund peace process. Expressing support for the French proposal, Sissi added that Egypt is prepared to “make every effort” to contribute to an Israeli-Palestinian settlement. The Egyptian leader urged Israeli parties and leaders to “please, reach an agreement so a solution can be found” and called for “a real reconciliation, and quickly” between Palestinian factions, offering Cairo’s full support. “If we are able to — all of us together — with effort and a real will and devotion, find a solution for this issue, and find hope for the Palestinians and security for the Israelis, I am telling you a new page will be written,” he said. Sissi said that Israelis and Palestinians need look no further than the 1979 Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty to see the positive outcome of peacemaking. He said the level of animosity between Egypt and Israel that had existed prior to the conclusion of the landmark accord was no different from how the Palestinians and Israelis feel now. In 1979, Egypt became the first Arab country to sign a peace deal with Israel. “Maybe some people can say this peace is not warm,” Sissi said. “I tell them a warmer peace will be achieved if we were able to resolve the issues of our Palestinian brothers.” The French summit, which is set to include representatives from 20 countries, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan, was due to take place on May 30 but was postponed by France so that US Secretary of State John Kerry would be able to attend. “Kerry cannot come on May 30 so it has been delayed. It will take place in the summer,” French President Francois Hollande told French radio Tuesday. The State Department said Monday that Kerry would be unavailable on the day of the conference, which falls on Memorial Day, but that the United States and France are looking into a possible alternative date for the ministerial discussions. The French Foreign Ministry said in a statement that a new date at the beginning of June “will be set soon.” While the Palestinian Authority welcomed the summit in a press release on its official website, Hamas has said the announcement of its postponement was further proof of the failure of the peace process, which the group officially rejects. Israeli opposition leader Isaac Herzog, who has been in talks with Netanyahu to bring his Labor Party into the coalition, lauded Sissi’s speech, saying it showed peace is possible. “I welcome the announcement,” he said, “This is a dramatic announcement that shows the possibility of a historic process. It is our duty to examine it seriously; otherwise we will find ourselves doing so after the next funeral. It is vital to listen to the Egyptian president and take a serious and responsible look at this opportunity.

Saudi 9/11 Ties: FBI Tried to Suppress 80,000 Documents on Saudi Ties to 9/11

Tuesday, May 17, 2016 7:56 Submitted by Carey Wedler via TheAntiMedia.org /ZeroHedge.com

The classified 28-pages of the 9/11 report have made global headlines lately as a handful of lawmakers battle to release them to the public. Those pages are believed by activists and members of Congress — who have seen them — to expose the role of Saudi Arabia, including government officials, in the terrorist attacks. But according to a new report based on years of investigative journalism, it turns out there are far more than 28 classified pages on Saudi Arabia and 9/11 — there are 80,000 kept secret by the FBI. And though not all 80,000 are expected to concern the Saudi family — and the FBI insists their investigation of the documents came up empty-handed — journalists, at least one lawmaker, and heavily-redacted documents suggest otherwise. As the Daily Beast reported, the discovery of the 80,000 pages came when Irish investigative journalists Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan were contacted by an unnamed counterterrorism official in 2011. The reporters were preparing to publish a book on the 10th anniversary of the terror attacks and were told by the source that a Saudi family who had been living in Sarasota, Florida, prior to the attacks had connections to the attackers. Specifically, they were linked to Mohamed Atta, the Egyptian terrorist widely recognized as the ringleader of the attacks. The unnamed official’s tip conflicted squarely with the FBI’s prior conclusions on that family.Abdulazzi al-Hiijjii, his wife Anoud, and their three small children lived in an upscale Sarasota community, along with Anoud’s father, Esam Ghazzawi, a financier and interior designer, who owned the home, and Ghazzawai’s American-born wife. The FBI had received multiple calls from the family’s neighbors expressing concerns over erratic behavior. Two weeks before 9/11, they left the house in a huge hurry, leaving dirty diapers and toys strewn about, a fully stocked refrigerator, and three cars in the driveway. Though the FBI opened an investigation in April 2002, it still insists it never found any significant connection between the family and Atta. The agency acknowledged they had suspected a connection, but “not until after the Tampa field office opened an investigation that claimed to find ‘numerous connections’ between the family and the 9/11 hijackers,” the Daily Beast explained. The 80,000 classified pages in question stemmed from that investigation. The FBI says “the bureau’s own agents did initially suspect the family was linked to some of the hijackers.” But “on further scrutiny, those connections proved unfounded, officials now say.” But Summers and Swan contacted Dan Christensen, a veteran Florida reporter, and together they published an exposé on these connections in Sarasota in September 2011. As they reported, following the 9/11 attacks: “[L]aw enforcement agents not only discovered the home was visited by vehicles used by the hijackers, but phone calls were linked between the home and those who carried out the death flights — including leader Mohamed Atta — in discoveries never before revealed to the public. They were also never revealed to lawmakers. The 2011 story caught the attention of Bob Graham, a Florida Democrat who has since led the campaign to release the 28 pages on the Saudi connection, which are said to contain information showing Saudi government officials were involved in orchestrating the attack. At the time, he said the journalists had “open[ed] the door to a new chapter of investigation as to the depth of the Saudi role in 9/11.” Graham attempted to view some of the documents, and told the Daily Beast (for a forthcoming article) they did show a connection between the family and three hijackers. He was soon after confronted by then-deputy director of the FBI, Sean Joyce. According to Graham, he said, “Basically everything about 9/11 was known and I was wasting my time and I should get a life.” Christensen filed a Freedom of Information Act request in the hopes of either confirming or refuting their original reporting. Thomas Julin, his lawyer, said the FBI initially denied having any records. When Graham said he was willing to testify he had seen some, the Department of Justice conveniently admitted to having 35 relevant pages. They released them, but they were heavily redacted. In spite of the overt censorship guarding that information, they reportedly still made clear the FBI had suspicions about the family — and that they had found several connections between them and the hijackers. The pages also include the FBI’s dismissals of those suspicions. U.S. District Court Judge William Zloch, who presided over the Freedom of Information case, was unconvinced and demanded the FBI conduct another search of its records. This time, “the FBI found some additional responsive documents which it produced,” Juline told the Daily Beast. “But it also found 80,266 pages of material in the Tampa Field Office of the FBI which had been marked with the file number for the FBI’s PENTTBOM investigation.” PENTTBOM was the FBI term for its investigation into the 9/11 attacks. Though the New York Post had previously reported on these 80,000 pages, the DoJ’s small release of documents clarified suspicions. Zloch ordered the FBI to hand over all the documents in May 2014 — and he is still going through them to determine which pages can be released. He has given no indication of when he will be finished. The Daily Beast explained “Zloch’s task is made all the more painstaking by the strict security rules governing review of classified documents, even for a sitting judge. The files are kept in a secure facility, and he can only remove a portion at a time.” It remains unclear how many of the 80,000 pages pertain directly to the Tampa FBI field office’s investigation of the family in Sarasota — and their ties to the attackers. Though Christensen says he’s ready to be proven wrong, he believes “those files will reveal the underlying reasons for the FBI’s early suspicions.” As the Daily Beast laid out: “The FBI, for instance, says that phone records searches showed no links to the house and the hijackers. Christensen’s confidential source says the opposite is true. If the FBI is right, Christensen asks, then why not just release the information and put the dispute to rest?” The FBI has attempted to discredit the pages, claiming the agent who filed the first reports on the family and their potential connection to the hijackers was “not a good writer and should not be taken as the last word,” according to Graham. However, that agent was promoted shortly after 9/11, casting doubt on assertions they were incompetent. In a similar evasion of accountability, President Obama vowed to block a legislative effort to release the 28 pages amid pressure from the Saudi Arabian government, which threatened to remove $750 billion in American assets should the legislation pass. The president cited concerns that allowing families of 9/11 victims to sue a foreign government could, in turn, open the United States government up to prosecution, itself. The White House has since indicated it intends to release part of the 28 pages. Though Julin says the 28 pages likely aren’t linked to the Sarasota Saudi family, he hopes their eventual release “might help Judge Zloch see the wider significance of the events in Sarasota and persuade him that some or all of the records have not been properly classified.” Last week, a former member of the 9/11 commission said he believes six Saudi officials supported the 9/11 hijackers. John F. Lehman said Wednesday, “There was an awful lot of participation by Saudi individuals in supporting the hijackers, and some of those people worked in the Saudi government,” he said. “Our report should never have been read as an exoneration of Saudi Arabia.” The FBI’s trove of documents also requires further examination. Julin dismissed suspicions Judge Zloch is intentionally lagging in his investigation of the 80,000 pages. “I believe this is not a stalling tactic at all,” he said. “The judge is doing what he has to comply” with the stringent rules surrounding the release of the classified documents. “But I would urge him to speed it up,” he said.

Little Sisters Win: Supreme Court Tells Lower Courts to Protect Them From HHS Mandate

May 16, 2016 at 9:46 am

The Supreme Court issued a unanimous opinion today int he case involving the Little Sisters of the Poor, which have been fighting to not be forced to pay for abortion-causing drugs for their employees. The Little Sisters of the Poor are asking the nation’s highest court to ensure they do not have to comply with Obamacare’s abortion mandate. The mandate compels religious groups to pay for birth control and drugs that may cause abortions. Without relief, the Little Sisters would face millions of dollars in IRS fines because they cannot comply with the government’s mandate that they give their employees free access to contraception, sterilization, and abortion-inducing drugs. Previously, the U.S. Supreme Court temporarily protected the Little Sisters from the mandate. The Little Sisters then went before the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver to extend that protection, but a panel of the appeals court ruled against them. Eventually the full appeals court ruled in its favor but the Obama administration appealed. In a surprise move Monday, the Supreme Court punted on the case and, in a unanimous ruling, essentially told the lower courts to find a way to accommodate the Little Sisters so their conscience rights would not be violated. The Supreme Court sent the case back to lower courts to examine an alternative accommodation to the mandate. The justices instructed the lower court to find tweaks in the HHS mandate to eliminate any faith-based concerns “while still ensuring that the affected women receive contraceptive coverage seamlessly.” “Given the gravity of the dispute and the substantial clarification and refinement in the positions of the parties, the parties on remand should be afforded an opportunity to arrive at an approach going forward that accommodates petitioners’ religious exercise while at the same time ensuring that women covered by petitioners’ health plans ‘receive full and equal health coverage, including contraceptive coverage,’” the justices wrote in the decision. Pro-life advocates have complained that big corporations were protected from the mandate but Catholic nuns were not.

Senate approves first openly gay Army secretary

AP May 17, 2016, 6:11 PM

Last Updated May 17, 2016 6:33 PM EDT

WASHINGTON -- The Senate has confirmed the long-stalled nomination of Eric Fanning to be Army secretary, making him the first openly gay leader of a U.S. military service. The voice vote approval on Tuesday came after Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts dropped his opposition to Fanning in a dispute over Obama administration efforts to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and transfer detainees to the U.S. Roberts said he received assurances from the administration in private discussions that the clock has run out on moving detainees to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Fanning served as the Army secretary's principal adviser on management and operation of the service. He was undersecretary of the Air Force from April 2013 to February 2015, and for half a year was the acting secretary of the Air Force. Roberts said he met May 10 with Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Work, who assured Roberts "that, 'I am the person who would have to execute it (the moving of detainees to the mainland), and the clock has run out.'" Congress has included prohibitions on moving Guantanamo detainees to the U.S. in annual defense policy bills, thwarting President Barack Obama's campaign promise to close the prison. Roberts said he knows Obama will continue to try and close prison at Guantanamo before he leaves office in January, but said he takes Work at his word. "He understands the significant and costly changes that would need to be made at Ft. Leavenworth to change the post's mission," Roberts said. "Most importantly, he understands the legal restrictions on funding to move the detainees to Ft. Leavenworth by January 20, 2017." Fanning served as the Army secretary's principal adviser on management and operation of the service, with a focus on the budget. He was undersecretary of the Air Force from April 2013 to February 2015, and for half a year was the acting secretary of the Air Force. He also worked on Defense Secretary Ash Carter's transition.

Darkness Flourishes at Vanderbilt University

By Carol M. Swain May 14, 2016

In case you missed the hoopla, I was almost run off the Vanderbilt University campus in 2015 by student protesters and petitions denouncing me for bigotry and hatred. This was related to an opinion piece I wrote for The Tennessean about the Islamic faith and the need for Muslims to fully integrate themselves into our society. As a high profile, black, conservative woman on the Vanderbilt faculty, I was a conspicuous target. During my sabbatical last year, I became the target of harassment and a petition demanding that I be suspended until I submitted to mandatory sensitivity training. That’s a rather odd request of a first-generation college graduate and a person who has overcome poverty, attained tenured positions at Princeton University and Vanderbilt, and had her research cited by the U.S. Supreme Court. My Christian faith, not my race and gender, defines me. It shapes the perspective I now share with you about Vanderbilt, where I have taught for the past 16 years. Vanderbilt has excelled in many ways during my time here, but in other areas, such as those related to religious freedom and free speech, its policies have led to an unhealthy environment, making it more difficult for some students to thrive spiritually and mentally. On top of all that, there has been a series of unfortunate events that secular-minded people will dismiss as coincidental. The campus has been shaken by untimely deaths. So far in 2016 we have had one current student (Taylor Force) and two former students (Justin and Stephanie Shults) killed in separate terrorist attacks abroad just weeks apart. Force died March 8 in a terrorist attack during, of all things, a school trip to Israel. Two weeks later, the Shultses were victims of the Brussels airport bombing. That must defy any reasonable actuarial tables for one university, especially one in denial about the threat of radical Islam. But there’s more. In the last three weeks, two undergraduate students have been found dead in their dorm rooms. One death occurred on April 22 (Cheryl Alexandra Morris). Another student (Elliot Meister) was found dead on April 27. We grieve the deaths of these young people and pray for their parents and loved ones. Nevertheless, we wonder if more could have done for Cheryl Alexandra and Elliot. In a recent Tennessean cover story examining his now eight-year tenure as the school’s top administrator, Vanderbilt Chancellor Nicholas Zeppos touched on the deaths, saying, “It’s one of those things where the loss is so heavy. For me as a chancellor to lose a child – it’s really the worst thing to happen.” That’s not all that’s happened at Vanderbilt in recent times. Going back just a year or two, we can see where the University has witnessed more than its fair share of tragedy and mishaps, to include the rape case involving Vanderbilt football players. There’s even the quirky: last year, a tree fell and injured several people in a group of prospective students and their parents touring the campus. What are the odds of a tree falling on visiting parents and prospective students on an otherwise calm day? Note: it happened right outside the admissions office. Only God knows if this means anything. In addition to the recent student deaths and the bizarre tree-falling incident, Vanderbilt’s run of bad luck over the years includes problems at its medical school and affiliated hospital as well as an embezzlement case involving an administrator who engaged in inappropriate behavior with a minor. Non-Christians can scoff at all this, ridiculing me for even broaching the possibility of a spiritual connection between the series of unfortunate incidents at Vanderbilt University and its hostility toward orthodox Christians, as evidenced by its 2011 adoption of a “non-discrimination” policy that has resulted in 14 Christian groups losing their recognition as student organizations. The groups no longer recognized on campus gave up their registered group status rather than compromise on Christian values and principles. At Vanderbilt there apparently is “bad” spirituality (orthodox Christianity) and “good” spirituality (Wicca, Buddhism, and Islam). An example of “good” spirituality (by the University’s definition) is manifested in Vanderbilt’s embrace of Wicca in August 2011, several months after imposing its discriminatory policy toward Christian groups. I wonder if there is a spiritual connection between Vanderbilt’s treatment of the Christian groups and some of its recent tragedies. We will never know for sure. Nevertheless, I would like to see Vanderbilt University reconsider the policy that deprives its campus of the vibrant Christian influence that existed before the University adopted its 2011 “policy. Darkness flourishes where there is no light. Dr. Carol M. Swain is professor of political science and professor of law at Vanderbilt University.

Soros Is Collapsing the Dollar and Setting the Stage for WW III

Soros has warned of risks which originate from the Chinese economy. This certainly gives the appearance that its debt-ridden economy resembles the United States in 2007-08, before the derivatives markets led to a global recession. In January, many leading hedge fund manager said a crash landing China was a near certainty adding that such an event would worsen global deflationary pressures, deflate stocks and of course, increase the value of U.S. government bonds. George Soros subsequently moved about 40% of his portfolio our of tradition American investments and BOUGHT GOLD. I always say that when living in a crashing economy, do what a prominent globalist does. In other words we should racing to the exits to buy gold, not the certificates, the real thing. The Evil Soros Has a Long Track Record of Being Correct Disturbingly, George Soros has repeatedly demonstrated that he has had both accurate and advanced knowledge of stock market and banking crashes in the past. In fact, Soros has a history of causing economic collapses with his preplanned money movements (e.g. Arab Spring). Subsequently, savvy investors keep a very close eye on Soros’ money movements and resulting holdings as Soros is the proverbial “Canary in the mine”. He is the world’s ultimate economic hit man and both bankers and politicians watch his every move with fear and apprehension. If you want to know what money venues to avoid, or embrace, tracking George Soros is your best bet. Monkey See Monkey Do soros fund management With regard to one’s personal investments, a prudent steward of one’s own resources would want to not be where George Soros’ isn’t and to imitate Soros’ money movement with regard where George Soros does place his bets. Why? Because Soros is one of the principals that determines the “rules” for the rigged game of investments across the planet. Soros’ money movements are significant for several reasons. First, he is now betting against both the U.S. Stock Market and three major U.S. domestic banks. Second, Soros, as previously stated, has obtained a sizable gold portfolio which is something one would want to do if one were expecting, or causing a crash of paper currency (i.e. the dollar) to occur. Finally, and most significantly, Soros is betting against the solvency of the Federal Reserve by running from the three of the major investors (i.e. the three major banks) in the Federal Reserve. Maybe this is what triggered the secret G-20 meeting in Ireland this summer. The announced Soros trend of dumping American investment vehicles in favor of gold has more history to it than what was announced on May 17th. According to a 2014 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, it was revealed that Soros sold his holdings in Citigroup, J.P. Morgan and Bank of America. Soros subsequently moved his money and took up new positions in gold and tech stocks associated with Chinese money movement. Soros has previously moved his money to RF Micro Devices, Nuance Communications, Marvel Technology Group, Nokia Corp., and Cypress Semiconductor. Soros also boosted his stake in Herbalife and took up a new position in Yamana Gold and AuRico Gold, and New Gold Inc. This previous asset shift by Soros sent shock-waves out among aware investors in the banking and stock market arena. Most of the investor crowd in 2014, ignored Soros asset dump and are soon going to have the their date with destiny. In the highly volatile 2016 move by Soros can scarcely be ignored. For many of you, if you don’t immediately make a move to convert your soon-to-be worthless bailed-in cash through the seizure of your bank accounts, you will not be able to afford the future price of Gold, nor you will not be able to find gold for sale. IF YOU WANT ANY ECONOMIC STANDING AFTER THE CRASH, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONVERT YOUR SOON-TO-BE WORTHLESS CASH FOR PRECIOUS METALS The Chinese and the Federal Reserve Will Eventually Die Together It is interesting to note that JP Morgan Chase, earlier in 2014, has sold their property located at One Chase Manhattan Plaza skyscraper to Fosun International, a Chinese investment firm, for the bargain basement price of $725 million. This is only the latest in a series of New York real estate purchases by Chinese investors for properties formerly reserved for Federal Reserve members. This is a highly significant event that received only a couple of days of attention, but quickly faded from the front pages of the mainstream media. In a future article, I will go into more detail how in 2014, Soros was setting a trap for both the Chinese and the Federal Reserve and today, they are both in trouble. For now, let’s suffice it to say that, in the long-term, Soros’ actions are helping to set the course for World War III because war is something that desperate nations engage in when they have no other financial options. America, China, Russia and their military allies are quickly approaching this moment. World War III will be a war of destroying the old, so that the full brunt of the New World Order can be ushered in. This should be the natural of this story, but there is more. The Soros Agenda Is On Full Display In the short-term, Soros’ economic hit-man strategies are designed to do what they have always done which is to collapse an economy. The collapse will follow a precipitating “false-flag” incident because this is always what the globalist have done in the past. And what form will the false-flag incident(s) come in? Nobody on this side of the Internet can be sure. However, we are safe in saying that it is a short list (the grid, the banks and their cyber security, etc.). Soros may interject himself into this push of America towards total insolvency, by causing Cleveland to burn this July. Remember, the GOP coincides with emissaries meeting in they thought were going to be secret meetings in Ireland, and I have also learned that Australia will be another site of these “secret meetings”. I was offered money to cover the GOP convention. I turned down the job. If I knew 9/11 was going to take place I would not position myself on top of either one of the two towers. In short, I am not suicidal. This is what I believe Cleveland will be, a death trap in which blood will flow in the streets. I have learned that Soros has booked $325 per night rooms for groups like moveon.org and Black Live Matter. Do I need to say anymore? You may be wondering why Soros would do such a thing? Conclusion The Soros moves to destroy the American economy and to destroy any financial power of the American middle class. not a stand-alone act. There is a move to dominate water (e.g. T. Boone Pickens and Nestle) that has been well documented. There is a move underway by Monsanto in which they are coming to dominate the food supply as they also are trying to control the root of all medicine by teaming up with the World Wildlife Fund to turn the entire Amazon into a gigantic GMO endeavor. Obama has given himself control over all resources through Executive Order 13603. I am certain that we will soon see anti-hording policies created out of thin air by DHS and FEMA which will basically outlaw all prepping. In the short-term, every American who intends on surviving what is coming needs to be prepared and to be prepared means starting RIGHT NOW! Soon we will be entering the danger zone (July – October) and Soros has told you with his actions that he does not intend to allow America to have a short-term or a long-term presence.

Regulators Warn 5 Top Banks They Are Still Too Big to Fail

By NATHANIEL POPPER and PETER EAVISAPRIL 13, 2016

The nation’s top bank regulators have added an unexpected voice to the growing chorus of critics worried that the biggest American banks, nearly eight years after the financial crisis, are still too big to fail. The Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation said on Wednesday that five of the nation’s eight largest banks — including JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America — did not have “credible” plans for how they would wind themselves down in a crisis without sowing panic. That suggests that if there were another crisis today, the government would need to prop up the largest banks if it wanted to avoid financial chaos. The announcement coincides with a presidential campaign that at times has been dominated by a debate over what danger the big banks still pose to the nation’s economic security. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont has called for the biggest banks to be broken up, a stand that his opponent, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, Hillary Clinton, has criticized. But Mr. Sanders’ position has drawn sympathy from some on the other side of the political spectrum, including the new president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, Neel Kashkari, who was a Treasury official during the financial crisis. Continue reading the main story In long letters sent to the banks this week, the two regulatory agencies pointed to the dangers created by the global reach and complexity of the largest banks, which are bigger now than they were before the 2008 crisis. The current arrangement could “pose serious adverse effects to the financial stability of the United States,” the regulators said in their letter to JPMorgan. Sign Up for the DealBook Newsletter Every weekday, twice a day, get the news driving the markets and the latest on mergers and acquisitions. The regulators this week did not come close to calling for a breakup, yet they did in effect provide backing for Mr. Sanders’s premise that not enough has been done to safeguard the financial system. Continue reading the main story Related Coverage IN DEBT Citigroup’s ‘Living Will’ Passes Muster but Offers Few Insights APRIL 13, 2016 DEALBOOK For a Generalist, ‘Too Big to Fail’ May Be Too Tricky to Judge APRIL 11, 2016 DEALBOOK Federal Reserve and F.D.I.C. Fault Big Banks’ ‘Living Wills’ AUG. 5, 2014 “The goal to end too big to fail and protect the American taxpayer by ending bailouts remains just that: only a goal,” Thomas M. Hoenig, the vice chairman of the F.D.I.C., said in a statement. The regulators were responding to the so-called living wills that banks must submit to regulators on a regular basis to explain how the banks plan to enter bankruptcy in an orderly fashion in case of a crisis. The living wills are a requirement of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial overhaul, intended to help make large financial institutions less of a threat to the wider economy. The Fed and the F.D.I.C., which jointly oversee the largest banks, agreed that the plans put forward by five of the big banks, JPMorgan, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, State Street and Bank of New York Mellon, were “not credible or would not facilitate an orderly resolution under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.” Only one of the biggest banks, Citigroup, was given a passing grade by both agencies, though it too was told that its plans needed improvements. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley received passing grades from only one of the two agencies. Barney Frank, the former Massachusetts congressman who was one of the architects of the Dodd-Frank law, said on Wednesday that the rejection of the living wills indicated that the regulators believed they still have more to do to tackle the too-big-to-fail issue. But he added that the regulators were showing resolve. Continue reading the main story “It sends a message,” Mr. Frank said in an interview. “It signals that they are serious.” In recent weeks, Mr. Frank has criticized the financial overhaul proposals by Mr. Sanders. Mr. Frank contends that some of the plans to break up the banks are simplistic because they take a one-size-fits-all approach. In contrast, he said, measures like the living wills allow regulators to press for banks to shrink, based on specific conditions at those firms. The five banks that received rejections have until Oct. 1 to fix their plans. After those adjustments, if the Fed and the F.D.I.C. are still dissatisfied with the living wills, they may impose restrictions on the banks’ activities or require the banks to raise their capital levels, which in practice means using less borrowed money to finance their business. And if, after two years, the regulators still find the plans deficient, they may require the banks to sell assets and businesses, with the aim of making them less complex and simpler to unwind in a bankruptcy. Also on Wednesday, JPMorgan announced a decline in both profit and revenue for the first quarter. Other large banks will report quarterly results this week. “Obviously we were disappointed,” Marianne Lake, chief financial officer of JPMorgan, said on Wednesday morning. The results are a particular blow for JPMorgan because it often boasts about the strength of its operations and its ability to weather any crisis. Just last week, Jamie Dimon, the chief executive, bragged in his annual letter that the bank “had enough loss-absorbing resources to bear all the losses,” under the Fed’s annual stress-test situations, of the 31 largest banks in the country. But the Fed and F.D.I.C. said on Wednesday that JPMorgan appeared to be unprepared for a crisis in a number of areas. The regulators said, for instance, that the bank did not have adequate plans to move money from its operations overseas if something went wrong in the markets. The letter also said that JPMorgan did not have a good plan to wind down its outstanding derivative contracts if other banks stopped trading with it. Ms. Lake said “there’s going to be significant work to meet the expectations of regulators.” But she also expressed confidence that the bank could do so without significantly changing how it does business. Continue reading the main story Investors appeared to agree that the verdicts from regulators did not endanger the banks’ current business models. Shares of all of the big banks rose on Wednesday. Wells Fargo, which is generally considered the safest of the large banks, was the target of unexpected criticism from the Fed and F.D.I.C. The agencies criticized Wells Fargo’s governance and legal structure, and faulted it for “material errors,” which, the regulators said, raised questions about whether the bank has a “robust process to ensure quality control and accuracy.” In a statement, Wells Fargo said it was disappointed and added, “We understand the importance of these findings, and we will address them as we update our plan.” The banking industry has complained that the process of submitting living wills is complex and hard to complete and it has suggested changes. “A useful process reform might be to do living wills every two or three years, instead of annually,” said Tony Fratto, a partner at Hamilton Place Strategies, a public relations firm that works with the banks. “The time required for banks to produce them and regulators to react to them is clearly too tight.” But Martin J. Gruenberg, the chairman of the F.D.I.C., said on Wednesday that regulators were “committed to carrying out the statutory mandate that systemically important financial institutions demonstrate a clear path to an orderly failure under bankruptcy at no cost to taxpayers.” “Today’s action is a significant step toward achieving that goal,” he added.

Soros doubles bet against the S&P, goes for gold

By Maria Armental Published: May 17, 2016 6:36 a.m. ET

Billionaire investor George Soros, who made a fortune betting against the British pound in 1992, on Monday disclosed a big bet on gold during the first quarter and doubled the wager against the S&P 500, according to a regulatory filing. The 85-year-old’s fund disclosed a 2.1-million-share “put” option in an exchange-traded fund that tracks the S&P stock index. Meanwhile, Soros — who has been warning of a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis, this time with China at the center of the storm — bought a 19-million share stake in Barrick Gold Corp., the world’s largest gold producer, along with “call” options in about 1 million shares in a gold-backed ETF set up by the World Gold Council.

They generally rise in value as the price of underlying stocks fall relative to the strike price. Call options, which bet the market will rise, grant the buyer the right to buy the stock at a target price within a specified time. The holdings were disclosed in a 13F filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a quarterly requirement for investors managing more than $100 million. The report indicates the number of shares held and the value of each stake at the end of the quarter. An expanded version of this report appears on WSJ.com

Global Elite Making Preparations for Post-Dollar World-Rob Kirby

By Greg Hunter On May 18, 2016 In Market Analysis 74 Comments

Macroeconomic analyst Rob Kirby says his rich clients around the planet are bracing for an inevitable economic calamity. Kirby explains, “The people I know, that I would say are at the higher level of the food chain in the global world of finance, are hunkered down and making very serious preparations. What I see on a macro level is people acting like squirrels preparing for winter. They are burying nuts and gathering as much physical precious metals as they can. They are making preparations for a post-dollar world in terms of world reserve currency.” On news that there are more than 540 paper claims for every ounce of Gold at COMEX, Kirby contends, “There are 540 claims for every ounce of gold at the COMEX vault. My question to you is what happens if that gold is in fact leased metal? Then, the 540 becomes 1,080, and what if it has been leased two times? Then, it becomes 2,160. So, the number of claims for every ounce of gold may be many factors higher than even 540.” Kirby goes on to say, “I have been writing consistently for the past 12 years that if you are going to own gold, you need to own it physically. If you own precious metals, and you can’t physically go and touch it, then it’s highly dubious whether you have clear title on any physical metal at all. This is the reason why I am such a strong advocate of owning your own stash. My gut tells me, in the very near term, people are going to find out what they really hold. The tide is going out, and we’re going to find out who is wearing bathing suits pretty darn soon. . . . This is building to some sort of climactic event that will blow. It’s sort of like putting baking soda and vinegar together. You know what’s going to happen, and if it take a few extra seconds to pop, then so be it. In economic terms . . . the big question is not whether they can keep making things appear pseudonormal for next few days, weeks or months . . . the outcome is absolutely cemented in stone.” The real question you should be asking is . . . do you want to own fire insurance? It’s a mathematical certainty your house is going to burn to the ground.” Kirby also arranges gold sales between buyers and sellers by the ton. Kirby says the biggest concern for his customers is the U.S. dollar. Kirby says, “The dollar is going to be kicked off its perch. That is a guarantee. It’s only a matter of time. So, what are Kirby’s clients doing now? Kirby says, “The universal message is people are trying to get, for the most part, as much of their assets into physical precious metals as they can. Precious metal is getting increasingly hard to buy.” Has Kirby seen demand for precious metals higher than right now? Kirby says, “No, I haven’t. I also have never seen this much interest to procure or own physical precious metal. Up until 2010, central banks were net sellers of gold, and since 2010, they have been net buyers of physical precious metal, and they never bought more than last year, except this year will be bigger than last year.

Sickly Hillary To Put Sickly Bill In Charge Of Fixing America? That's Like Sending In The Cleanup Team After The Globalists Have Finished Assassinating America

May 17, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

According to the story over at Breitbart on Monday, if "Hillary Clinton aka the Queen of Blood" succeeds at winning the White House in November, she'll be putting her husband Billy-bob back in charge of one of the biggest roles of her presidency, revitalizing the US economy, "cause you know he knows how to do it" Hitlery said at a rally in Kentucky this past Sunday. With America already having successfully 'extinguished' one 'royal family' from our lives with the thrashing of Jeb Bush in the Republican primaries by Donald Trump, the only 'royal family' in America still standing is the Clintons, and as we see in this story from Susan Duclos, Hitlery's 'Clinton crime family' is pulling out all stops to make sure they remain our 'special family', including paying professional internet trolls millions and possibly murdering those who might expose their myriad crimes against the American people and the US Constitution. As Susan tells us, the 'body count' that follows the Clinton family around is legendary, as are the 'endless Clinton scandals', yet somehow this family once again stands only months away from the White House. No one family represents the fall and total corruption of America more than the Clinton's do, with only the Bush and Obama families running close. Considering that the Clinton's, Bush's, and Obama's have inhabited the White House continuously since 1989, for almost 28 years straight now, we have to ask, does America REALLY want another 4 years? Can America even SURVIVE another 4 years of Bush/Obama/Clinton? The fact that Hitlery has already thrown Bill, who many believe is very ill and may be dying of AIDS, into the roll of revitalizing the US economy surely helps to prove the globalist scum have no intention whatsoever of fixing our country and the forecast from Deagel.com for 2025 America shows an America broken and depopulated. With Bill looking like he has aged tremendlously and looking very ill in recent appearances that he's made, and Hitlery herself recently looking like she's having very serious health issues, can this family even lead America out of the 'hole to hell' they have helped dig for us? We also have 100% proof that both Hitlery and Bill have betrayed our public servants in uniform - they have totally sold out our brave men and women who sacrifice their own lives for our country. Is this REALLY who America wants to lead our country into 2020? The pattern is quite easy to see. Clinton foreign policies bring death and destruction to Americans and to the world. One recent comment on a political story over at the Daily Mail said it all: "Bernie Sanders supporters and Donald Trump supporters stand united against Hillary Clinton". Here ye, here ye. Is America ready to overthrow the Clinton beast? Short of a miracle at the Democratic convention, the easiest way for America to do that is for a huge percentage of Bernie Sanders supporters to come over to the Trump side, and while we won't hold our breath waiting for that to happen, we learn in the 1st video below from Gary Franchi of the Next News Network that Trump does indeed have a secret weapon against Hitlery: Bill Clinton. If you're actually considering voting for Hitlery in November, we suggest that you watch the 2nd video below as we see very good proof why a Hitlery presidency will bring nothing but 'the end' to America...if she even makes it to the November election with her candidacy now imploding and completely spiraling out of control as Americans, en masse, reject her. As has also been pointed out numerous times on the Drudge Report, the 'queen of bloods' coughing fits are almost as legendary as the body count that follows her around, the list of at least 90 names of people close to the Clinton's who have met their untimely ends which is elaborated upon more in the 2nd video below. If you're STILL thinking of voting for Hitlery after watching the 2nd video, the final video has over 5 million hits on YouTube and is called "Hillary Clinton: A Career Criminal", and we strongly suggest that you watch it before casting your next vote. This video touches upon many different subjects, including 'the scary truth about Hillary Clinton'; Hillary contradicting herself, over and over and over again; Trump on Hillary: "Hillary has a lot to hide"; Hillary's corrupt dealings all across the board and as previously outlin; and, the Clinton body count 'rumor' - the eRumor vs Truth. As we're told here within, the truth is just about as scary as the 'Clinton body count' rumor.

The transgender programming of children is child abuse, warns the American College of Pediatricians... chemical castration, genital mutilation and mental illness run amok…

Tuesday, May 17, 2016 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

(NaturalNews) So this guy walks into an OB/GYN clinic and demands a gynecological exam. The doctor, a woman, takes one look at him and says, "That won't work. You're a man." The man, however, "self identifies" as a woman and blasts the doctor for being a bigot. "I self identify as a woman," he says. "And I demand to be treated as a woman, or I'll call my civil rights lawyer." The doctor, not wanting to be called a bigot, proceeds to give the man a fake gynecological exam, playing into his delusional distortions about his own biology and arguably worsening his mental disconnect with his physical self. This is what transgenderism and "biological subjectivism" has come to in America today... a politically correct demand that everyone agree to participate in the mental distortions of a few individuals who suffer from a psychological disconnect from their biological realities. Such ideologies stand in complete contradiction to the known science on biology and physical reality, and sadly, this mental distortion is now being thrust onto children as part of a sick, demented political agenda to appease the most lunatic fringe elements of the political spectrum. That agenda now demands that public schools be turned into transgender child factories, churning out confused, suicidal children who are physically and chemically mutilated by a society that applauds them for denying their biological reality. This entire agenda, now being waged against the children of America by politically motivated cultural arsonists, is nothing less than a crime against children. The science is clear: The biology of gender is a physical reality that's not subject to "impersonation" "Human sexuality is an objective biological binary trait," explains the American College of Pediatricians. "The American College of Pediatricians urges educators and legislators to reject all policies that condition children to accept as normal a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex. Facts – not ideology – determine reality." When President Obama orders schools across America to normalize transgender confusion in children, he worsens that confusion in the minds of children who are still grappling with their biologically driven gender identity. "A person's belief that he or she is something they are not is, at best, a sign of confused thinking," explains the ACP. "When an otherwise healthy biological boy believes he is a girl, or an otherwise healthy biological girl believes she is a boy, an objective psychological problem exists that lies in the mind not the body, and it should be treated as such. These children suffer from gender dysphoria." Although liberal ideology can pretend that transgenderism is a "third sex," this is fairy tale thinking. There is no third sex. And a man pretending to be a woman does not make that person a woman. Hence, "biological subjectivism" is delusional thinking. Yet it is a delusion that is being thrust upon the entire population via shaming tactics of political correctness. Alarmingly, this politically motivated transgender agenda has now invaded our schools, where vulnerable children will be easily swept into the confusing, abusive world of chemical castrations and genital mutilation surgery while being applauded by obedient conformists for having the "courage" to deny their biological existence. And so we now live in a nation where child-abusing parents who need to be locked away in mental institutions are turning their children into gender confused basket cases who may also end up needing psychiatric intervention. This is how the cycle perpetuates, and the political powers in Washington are encouraging this cycle of mental illness, child mutilation and horrible suffering among children who are now being shoved toward transgenderism because it appeases the perverse political appetites of mentally ill adults. Transgender advocacy called "child abuse" by the American College of Pediatricians From the ACP: Conditioning children into believing that a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful is child abuse. Endorsing gender discordance as normal via public education and legal policies will confuse children and parents, leading more children to present to "gender clinics" where they will be given puberty-blocking drugs. This, in turn, virtually ensures that they will "choose" a lifetime of carcinogenic and otherwise toxic cross-sex hormones, and likely consider unnecessary surgical mutilation of their healthy body parts as young adults. Keep in mind that encouraging children to pursue transgender ideologies eventually leads to chemical castration and / or genital mutilation via surgery. Gender confusion may be common in children, but nearly all of them eventually grow out of the confusion and come to accept the biology they were born with. "According to the DSM-V, as many as 98% of gender confused boys and 88% of gender confused girls eventually accept their biological sex after naturally passing through puberty," explains the ACP. Yet when society coddles gender-confused children and encourages them to change their biological sex through chemical castration and surgical mutilation, it deprives such children the opportunity to explore, learn and grow beyond their early confusion. To declare a child to be a "transgender" in need of chemical and surgical mutilation is a crime against children. As the ACP explains: "Never has it been more scientifically clear that children and adolescents are incapable of making informed decisions regarding permanent, irreversible and life-altering medical interventions. For this reason, the College maintains it is abusive to promote this ideology, first and foremost for the well-being of the gender dysphoric children themselves, and secondly, for all of their non-gender-discordant peers, many of whom will subsequently question their own gender identity, and face violations of their right to bodily privacy and safety." It's time to stop the transgender programming of children in our society Transgenderism, says the ACP, is "child abuse" and a kind of mental illness. Its very ideology exists in contradiction to physical and biological reality, where chromosomes determine biological sex, and nearly all children eventually learn to accept the reality of their physical bodies, even if they are temporarily confused. The transgender programming of children is a politically motivated agenda to cause an acceleration in gender confusion and distorted gender identities among the population. It is rooted in a fundamental mass mental illness of a delusional society, where "reality" is now played out via political memes and social media shaming rather than biology reality or even the real world of nature all around us. When it comes to physical biology, the answer is clear: Sex is binary. You are either born with male biology or female biology. There are extremely rare cases of hermaphroditic genetic expression, but this is not a "third sex." It is a genetic and / or formative disorder. Mother Nature intends for all humans to be born as either male or female. It is self-evident in the genetic code, the biochemistry and the reproduction of the species. To teach a child that he or she exists in contradiction to the biology they were born with is a violation of nature and a form of mental abuse against those children. Children need to be connected to their bodies and learn to accept and honor the "hardware" they were born with. To teach a child that they are disconnected from their biological self is to invite and encourage runaway shame, peer ridicule and tortorous mental illness in that child, which is one reason why suicide rates are so alarmingly high among those who pursue a transgender lifestyle. Thanks, Obama, for not just screwing up our entire economy, our justice system, our community policing, our foreign policy and our border control. Now you're screwing with the mental health of our children, too! Got any more destruction planned before you leave office?

Eighty children treated in hospital after outbreak of 'demonic possession' in Peruvian school where pupils say they had visions of 'a man in black' trying to kill them

Disturbing footage shows the children convulsing, screaming and fainting

Unfolded at Perea Flores School in northern Peru - built on Mafia graveyard

Locals claim the shocking scene was a mass case of 'demonic possession'

By Julian Robinson for MailOnline Published: 05:31 EST, 18 May 2016 | Updated: 09:08 EST, 18 May 2016

Scores of children at a school in Peru have suffered seizures and described visions of a man in black trying to kill them in what locals say was a mass case of 'demonic possession'. Disturbing footage has emerged of up to 80 students convulsing, screaming and fainting at Elsa Perea Flores School in northern Peru's Tarapoto. Experts are struggling to explain the hysteria that broke out at the school, which was reportedly built on a Mafia graveyard. Dozens of youngsters have been experiencing the supposedly contagious 'condition' since it was first reported in April. Children aged between 11 and 14 are reportedly fainting and having strong muscular convulsions. Shocking video shows pupils who are barely conscious, repeatedly screaming, and who appear to be delirious. Doctor Antony Choy told national channel Panamericana TV: 'We don't understand how this has kept going on. 'We know it started on April 29 and now it is still happening. Now there are almost 80 pupils [still affected].' Elsa de Pizango, a concerned mother whose daughter has experienced some of the symptoms, said: 'She fainted in school. They didn't say anything at the hospital. She just fainted. She keeps on spitting froth from her mouth.' Describing her experience, a pupil not named in local media, said: 'It's disturbing for me to think about it. It's as if someone kept on chasing me from behind. 'It was a tall man all dressed in black and with a big beard and it felt like he was trying to strangle me. 'My friends say I was screaming desperately, but I don't remember much.' Another schoolgirl said she had trouble breathing and was desperately holding her neck as if someone was strangling her. According to her friends, she kept screaming: 'Take it out.' Another anonymous girl, aged 13, told local media: 'Several children from different classrooms fainted at the same time. I got nauseous and started vomiting. I heard voices. A man in black chased me and wanted to touch me.' Franklin Steiner, a parapsychologist who investigates paranormal and psychic phenomena - said: 'It is known that years ago there were many victims of terrorism here. When this school was built, some say bones and dead bodies were found.' Locals believe this is a case of demonic interference, saying some children must have played games that invoke demons such as using a Ouija board. A Ouija board is marked with letters and numbers and some use it in the belief that they will be abe to communicate with souls of the dead. As of yet, there has been no rational or official explanation for the phenomenon.

22 Percent of Resettled Refugees in Minnesota Test Positive for Tuberculosis

by Michael Patrick Leahy17 May 20169,638

SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER

One of every five refugees resettled in Minnesota by the federal government tested positive for latent tuberculosis in 2014, according to the state’s Department of Health. Only 4 percent of the general population in the United States tested positive for latent tuberculosis in the most recent report provided by the Centers for Disease Control. The April 2016 edition of the Refugee Health Quarterly, published by the Minnesota Department of Health reports that: Minnesota had 150 cases of TB in 2015, compared to 147 cases in 2014 (a 2 percent increase). The most common risk factor for TB cases in Minnesota is being from a country where TB is common. TB screening is offered to all refugees during the domestic refugee health exam. In 2014, 22 percent of refugees screened tested positive for LTBI (latent tuberculosis infection). 26 percent of all foreign born cases of tuberculosis in Minnesota were from people born in Somalia. Somalians almost exclusively enter the state through the refugee resettlement program. More than 70,000 refugees have been resettled in the United States annually for the past three decades by the federal government. It’s not just tuberculosis being brought in by these resettled refugees. Measles, whooping cough, diptheria, and other diseases that were on their way to eradication are also coming in across the borders of the United States. A recent outbreak of measles in Memphis, Tennessee, a center for refugee resettlement, began at a local mosque, as Breitbart News reported previously. The alarming public health report from Minnesota comes on the heels of news from the Centers for Disease Control that in 2015, the incidence of tuberculosis in the United States increased. “Data from 2015 show that the number of TB cases has increased (by 1.7 percent) nationally [in the United States] for the first time in 23 years, with a total of 9,563 TB cases reported,” the Minnesota Department of Health reports. As the Star Tribune, Minnesota’s largest daily newspaper, reports: The CDC is still trying to determine the reason for the uptick. The goal set by the CDC, in 1989, of eliminating TB by 2010 — defined as less than one case in a million people — remains elusive. Even if the trend of declining cases had continued, the United States would not have eliminated TB by the end of this century, the CDC said. “We are not yet certain why TB incidence has leveled off, but we do know it indicates the need for a new, expanded approach to TB elimination,” said Dr. Philip LoBue, director of the CDC’s Division of Tuberculosis Elimination, in an email. A dual approach is needed: continue to find and treat cases of disease and evaluate their contacts, as well as identify and evaluate other high-risk persons for latent TB infection, he said. There may be a positive correlation between the increase in the number of refugees resettled in the United States during this period and the sudden increase in the incidence of tuberculosis, a disease that many thought was on the path to eradication in the United States. As the Centers for Disease Control report: In 2014, a total of 66% of reported TB cases in the United States occurred among foreign-born persons. The case rate among foreign-born persons (15.4 cases per 100,000 persons) in 2014 was approximately 13 times higher than among U.S.-born persons (1.2 cases per 100,000 persons). “Today four states – California, New York, Texas and Florida – have more than half the nation’s active TB cases, though they have only a third of the country’s population. The four states have the highest numbers of foreign-born residents,” according to the Star Tribune. A person with latent tuberculosis is not infectious and does not have symptoms of the disease. A person with active tuberculosis is infectious and has symptoms of the disease. Ten percent of those with latent tuberculosis develop active tuberculosis if not treated, according to the World Health Organization. As the Star Tribune reports: TB is an airborne infectious disease caused by bacteria that spreads through the air, person to person, when someone coughs or sneezes. One in three people worldwide have latent TB, according to the World Health Organization. In the United States, up to 13 million people have been exposed to TB and could develop the disease. Every year, tuberculosis claims 1.5 million lives worldwide and 500 to 600 in this country. “Tuberculosis (TB) has surpassed HIV as the leading cause of death from infectious disease worldwide,” the Minnesota Department of Health reports. Tuberculosis is airborne and can be spread when a person active tuberculosis coughs, sneezes, or otherwise transmits the infection to a previously uninfected individual. Treatment for tuberculosis is long and expensive. If caught early, it typically takes about nine months for a person with active tuberculosis to improve to latent tuberculosis. Not everyone diagnosed with active tuberculosis, however, improves. Mortality rates for those with active tuberculosis are much higher than health professionals would like, even in the United States. According to the Star Tribune: Treating TB patients is labor intensive. To ensure that TB patients complete the course of drugs that lasts six months or longer, Directly Observed Therapy programs require a health care worker – not a family member – to watch patients with active TB swallow every dose. If a patient cannot get to a clinic, a health care worker goes to the person’s home. The worker monitors patients for side effects and other problems. Care also involves communication and cultural challenges. In Michigan, where the number of active TB cases rose from 105 in 2014 to 130 last year, the health department reaches out to Detroit’s large Arab and Bangladeshi populations. In other parts of the state, Burmese immigrants have different needs, said Peter Davidson, Michigan TB control manager. “Some local health departments have strong partnerships with translation services. Some rely on a less formal mechanism – a private physician or someone on staff at the hospital who speaks the language,” Davidson said. The cost of treating an active TB case that is susceptible or responsive to drugs averages $17,000, according to the CDC. Care of patients with drug-resistant TB, which can result from taking antibiotics prescribed before TB was properly diagnosed, costs many times more: $134,000 for a multidrug-resistant patient and $430,000 for an extensively drug-resistant one. Minnesota public health officials point to the high treatment rate of those refugees diagnosed with latent tuberculosis as a reason for optimism. “Eliminating TB in the U.S. will require increased attention to the diagnosis and treatment of latent TB infection (LTBI),” the April 2016 Refugee Health Quarterly reports. “Minnesota’s LTBI treatment completion rate for refugees who start treatment is one of the highest in the nation at 86 percent in 2013,” the report adds. An alternative public health policy–one that the United States used for decades in the latter part of the nineteenth century and early twentieth century–is to test immigrants and refugees for infectious disease before they are allowed into the country. In that earlier era, those who tested positive were sent home. Today, however, many are welcomed in and pose a risk of infecting the rest of the American population. (Note: Valley News Live in Fargo, North Dakota was the first broadcast outlet to report on the 22 percent incidence of latent tuberculosis among refugees in Minnesota.)

Shell working to repair leak that spilled 2,000 barrels of oil into Gulf of Mexico

Thursday leak created a 13 mile-wide slick on the surface of the water, from group of underwater oil wells 97 miles south of Port Fourchon, Louisiana

Oliver Milman in New York @olliemilman Monday 16 May 2016 13.09 EDT

Shell has said it has begun work to repair a fault in a flowline that has resulted in around 2,000 barrels worth of oil spewing into the Gulf of Mexico. More than 88,000 gallons of oily-water mixture has been released from the Glider Field, a group of four underwater oil wells located around 97 miles south of Port Fourchon in Louisiana. The company said it suspects a line connecting these wells to a Shell platform leaked oil on Thursday, creating a 13 mile-wide slick on the surface of the water. Shell said the oil is not expected to reach the shoreline and that no fisheries have been closed. The company said vessels and aircraft have been deployed to mop up the spill. “The trajectory is in a westerly direction with no shoreline impacts anticipated at this time,” Shell said in a statement. “Skimming continued today using infrared technology with support from aerial resources. Joint efforts have recovered approximately 1,826 barrels, over 76,600 gallons, of oily-water mixture. On-water recovery efforts are ongoing. Shell has mobilized equipment to begin repairs.” The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement said it has deployed its “full investigative resources” to identify the cause of the oil spill and any potential improvements needed to underwater infrastructure. Shell’s platform, called Brutus, started operation in 2001. The oil giant has been given permission by the BSEE to resume its operations in the gulf. The US federal government has tightened up drilling regulations following the Deepwater Horizon disaster in 2010, which resulted in the deaths of 11 people, as well as the coating of thousands of seabirds and marine animals in oil. Last month, the Obama administration outlined further measures to help prevent “blowouts” that result in oil spells, as well as requirements for operators to put in place several back-ups in case something goes wrong. However, there have been criticism of government and oil industry response to the 2010 disaster. A US Chemical Safety Board report released last month found regulations nor industry practices have improved since the BP spill. “The last thing the Gulf of Mexico needs is another oil spill,” said Vicky Wyatt, a Greenpeace campaigner. “The oil and gas industry’s business-as-usual mentality devastates communities, the environment, and our climate. Make no mistake, the more fossil fuel infrastructure we have, the more spills and leaks we’ll see. It’s past time to keep it in the ground for good.”

Texas Leading Suit To Stop Obama Transgender School Policy

by Morgan Smith May 25, 2016

Editor's note: This story has been updated throughout. Texas, joined by 10 other states, filed a lawsuit Wednesday to stop a federal directive instructing school districts to let transgender students use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity, Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Wednesday. Calling the Obama administration guidelines “outside the bounds of the constitution,” the McKinney Republican said that the state was taking action to protect a school district near the Oklahoma border that had passed a policy earlier this week requiring students to use bathrooms according to the gender cited on their birth certificates. “Harrold Independent School District fulfilled a responsibility to their community and adopted a bathroom policy puts the safety of their students first,” said Paxton. “Unfortunately the policy placed them at odds with federal directives handed down earlier this month. That means the district is in the crosshairs of Obama administration which has maintained it will punish anyone who doesn’t comply with their orders.” The other states in the lawsuit are Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Maine, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Paxton said they had joined because the issue was of national importance.

The Obama administration guidelines stated transgender students have the right to use their preferred bathrooms in public schools because of Title IX, a federal statute that prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender at education institutions that receive federal funding. It does not have the force of law, though school districts could risk losing federal money if they do not comply. etc. and the news story continues..

'Hell Unleashed On Earth Like Never Before' - Are 40 Volcanoes Erupting Across Planet At Same Time More Signs Of 'End Times'? We Have Entered A Truly Tumultuous Period Of Time

May 25, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

Since May 1st alone, Steve Quayle has linked to AT LEAST 15 stories in his 'hot news' section about the huge number of volcanoes now erupting around the world. As we learn in the 1st video below from Gary Franchi of the Next News Network, at least 40 volcanoes are now erupting worldwide and, as we have reported previously on ANP, our planet Earth is 'ready to rumble' as the Earth's crust becomes more and more unstable. The stories that Steve has linked to in May involving volcanic eruptions include Costa Rica's Turrialba volcano, the 3rd central American volcano to erupt this week, and one that stunned experts who had assured that recent earthquake swarms near the volcano meant nothing and had said there was no signs of an imminent eruption. A story that SQ linked to from RT asked "Hell opens?" in relation to the Costa Rican volcano as it spewed gases, ash and a column of smoke high into the sky. As YouTube videographer TruthUnveiled777 shares with us in the 2nd video below, with 3 different volcanoes having erupted across 3 different continents over the weekend, and all of this happening at a time of massive unrest on many different levels, are we witnessing prophecy unfolding? As is also shared with us, 'hell is being unleashed on Earth like never before.' Are all of these volcanoes erupting at once a sign that a major catastrophe is about to befall us? Volcanic eruptions aren't the only 'Earth changes' that we're now paying attention to as the Extinction Protocol recently told us that earthquakes have returned to Iceland's Bardabunga volcano, the 'sudden rise in activity' totally catching geologists by surprise, and only a little more than a year after it erupted for nearly 6 months straight. The Extinction Protocol also recently told us about Oregon's Mount Hood being shaken by a recent quake storm of about 40 quakes while on Tuesday, a story at the Daily Mail informed us that we should "forget about" the Cascadia Subduction zone and San Andreas fault line, a 'Hayward fault megaquake' could cause the greatest natural disaster ever to hit the US according to experts At the end of its 140-year-cycle according to research geophysicist Tom Brocher, we learn that the Hayward fault could produce a major earthquake 'at any time' and scientists warn 'it could trigger an earthquake any day now'. We're also told that the last 5 major earthquakes on this fault line have happened about 140 years apart but the last time that we had one there, way back in 1868, was 147 years ago and that area is much more populated now than it was back then. Are all of the Earth changes that we have been witnessing across the planet recently tied to 'end times'? Are these some of the 'signs in the Heavens and the Earth' that we were long ago warned of? With Mount St Helen's also shaking recently with more than 130 quakes taking place under the mountain with increasing frequency in early May, soon after scientists warned of 'Biblical quakes on the horizon', it's clear that we have entered a truly tumultuous period of time. According to the recent story from Charisma News, there are now 5 'signs' that have so many pastors believing that the Biblical End Times are approaching, if not already here. While we're certainly not in the position to verify that claim, it's become quite clear that we are living in truly historical times with all that is unfolding all around us. As Susan Duclos recently told us on ANP, "The Gates Of Hell Have Truly Opened" as all barriers between supernatural evil and the realm of human existence have been breached. We'll close with an excerpt from the Charisma News story.: In fact, many contemporary theologians and pastors believe they're observing numerous signs in the current culture that mirror the supposedly prophetic contents of Scriptures in Old and New Testament books like Ezekiel, Daniel and Revelation—events that they say could soon come to fruition. So what has convinced these theologians and pastors that the end times could be ramping up? That's a question that I cover in-depth in my newly released book, The Armageddon Code: One Journalist's Quest for End-Times Answers, through interviews with around 20 of the most prevalent eschatology experts. Many of these theologians and pastors told me that sweeping moral decay, biblical disconnectedness and ongoing violence in the Middle East are just a few of the prophetic markers that they believe were foretold thousands of years ago in both the Old and New Testaments. But how can Christian leaders be so sure that the biblical end times are approaching? Jesus Himself foretold of His future Second Coming. The problem? Christ also proclaimed in Matthew 24:36 that "no one knows" the day or the hour of His return. While the Bible proclaims that humanity cannot know the "when," Jesus did reveal to the disciples some of signs of His Second Coming in Matthew 24:6-8: "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled. ... For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines, epidemics, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows."

Franklin Graham Decries 'Misgender' Complaint That Won Trans Teacher Big Bucks

11:00AM EDT 5/26/2016 Jessilyn Justice

Evangelist Franklin Graham is fed up with the gender perversion waves that crash over America. The speaker decried a recent situation in which a teacher claims coworkers refused to accept her as a man. "Misgendered? A transgender 5th grade teacher in Oregon was awarded $60,000 from the school district after she complained that she had been harassed and 'misgendered' by coworkers, despite an official investigation stating differently," Graham wrote. According to The Oregonian, Leo Soell kicked off the recent school year as a transgender man. Fellow teachers referred to the teacher as "Miss" and "she," while Seoll preferred to be labeled as the gender-neutral pronoun "they." She demanded the school board pay out because fellow teachers didn't identify her by her preferred pronoun. The board complied and awarded Soell $60,000 in damages. "The school's principal emailed the staff new policies which require that all staff address transgender or gender non-conforming employees with their correct names and pronouns. The email also contained this threat, 'If you are found to be in violation of these policies, you will be subject to discipline to and including dismissal.' That's incredible! Use 'correct' pronouns? Doesn't a person's DNA or birth certificate count for anything? Shouldn't fact override fantasy? God created people male and female," Graham wrote.

Muslim mob attacks, torches Christian homes in Egyptian province

Published May 27, 2016 Associated Press

A Muslim mob ransacked and torched seven Christian homes in a province south of the Egyptian capital, Cairo, after rumors spread that a Christian man had an affair with a Muslim woman, according to a statement by the local Orthodox Coptic church. Released late Wednesday, it said that during the May 20 attack, the mother of the Christian man, who had fled the village, was publicly stripped of her clothes by the mob to humiliate her. Security officials said the woman was beaten and insulted while being paraded by the mob through the village. They said the mob was made of about 300 men. The officials spoke on Thursday on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. Ex-marital affairs or sex between unmarried couples are a taboo among both Muslims and Christians in conservative Egypt. They often attract violent reactions in rural areas, where questions of honor could lead to deadly family feuds that endure for years or the ostracization of the perpetrators. Police arrived at the scene nearly two hours after the attacks began and arrested six people, according to the statement by Minya's top cleric, Anba Makarios. He said the family of the Christian man had notified the police of threats against them by Muslim villagers the day before the attack.

Abbas said the French initiative must be based on the de facto border between Israel and the Palestinian territories established in 1967.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday called for NATO forces to replace the IDF in the West Bank as part of as part of any peace deal that leads to the creation of a two-state solution. Speaking in Cairo before the Arab League, he also rejected the idea of recognizing Israel as a Jewish state. Recognition of Israel as the Jewish homeland as well as acceptance of a demilitarized Palestinian state with the IDF maintaining a military presence in the West Bank have been two of the cornerstone Israeli demands for any resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Abbas spoke in advance of a June 3 ministerial meeting in Paris that will launch a new French-led peace initiative that would set the parameters for renewed negotiating process. Neither the Israelis nor the Palestinians have been invited to the Paris meeting. Israel has opposed the initiative, which it believes dictates the results of the negotiations, though the Palestinians have welcomed it since it aims to set a blue-print for such talks. Abbas said negotiations should be based on the understanding of a two-station solution based on the pre-1967 borders with east Jerusalem as its capital. “Now we talk about the French initiative... Its purpose must be to implement the visions of both states, based on the border agreement of 1967 and the capital of the Palestinian state being eastern Jerusalem, so that both countries can live side by side, in safety, stability and peace – if Israel wishes to seek peace.” There could be, he clarified, some minor land swaps of equitable value, adding that a timeline would be set for an Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank and east Jerusalem. There also should be a fair and agreed-upon solution for Palestinian refugees based on the 1948 United Nations resolution 194, he said. “We also take under consideration, an issue that came in this initiative that’s very important, related to Palestinian refugees – there’s a crystal clear article stipulating a fair and agreed upon resolution, I repeat fair and agreed upon, for the problem of Palestinian refugees, in accordance with Resolution 194.” Last week, Netanyahu urged the French to amend their initiative and use Paris as a platform for the immediate renewal of talks without preconditions, calling on them to host him and Abbas, rather than to hold a ministerial meeting. The Palestinians have rejected that idea believing that talks without a framework of borders and timetable are meaningless. Separately, the website Middle East Eye reported that there was a secret plan in the world to replaced Abbas with his archival Muhammad Dahlan.

Tropical Depression Bonnie Heads Towards Carolinas as Deadly Flooding Overwhelms Texas

May 29 2016, 9:23 am ET by Elizabeth Chuck, F. Brinley Bruton and Hanna Guerrero

Tropical storm Bonnie was downgraded Sunday morning as it headed toward the South Carolina coast — the latest bad weather to hit the nation over the long holiday weekend, after a fourth person was found dead amid flooding in Texas. The tropical depression was about 25 miles east-southeast of Charleston and packing maximum sustained winds of 35 mph as of 8 a.m. Sunday, the National Hurricane Center said. It was forecast to drench the Carolinas with up to six of rain, which had started falling on the South Carolina coast Saturday. Whipping winds and dangerous waves as high as 13 feet could also hit the two states, as well as Georgia and Florida over the coming days, forecasters said. etc. and the news story continues.

'UNESCO's Temple Mount vote shouldn't have happened'

Wednesday June 1, 2016

French PM Manuel Valls reiterates Paris' apology over its support of a UNESCO resolution acquiescing Palestinians' exclusive claim to holy Jerusalem site"France will never put the sacred ties between Jerusalem and Jewish history to the test," he says. French Prime Minister Manuel Valls has reiterated an apology to Israel for France's support of a UNESCO resolution acquiescing to the Palestinians' demand that the organization refer to the Temple Mount as "Al-Aqsa mosque." Valls met on Monday with Science and Technology Minister Ofir Akunis, who is in Paris representing Israel at the OECD annual conference. "We must admit to our mistakes, such as the vote in UNESCO that should not have happened. We should mention the obvious, that France will never put the sacred ties between Jerusalem and Jewish history to the test," Valls said. Akunis said that "the only way to promote peace between us and the Palestinians is through direct negotiations between the two sides, something the Palestinians have long refused. Israel is a beacon of democracy, human rights, and freedom of expression." Akunis also thanked Valls for his support of Israel's struggle against the boycott movement. Akunis also met with French National Education, Higher Education, and Research Minister Najat Vallaud-Belkacem.

ISIS Blamed for Outbreak of Gruesome Flesh-Eating Disease Among Refugees

By Stoyan Zaimov , Christian Post Reporter May 31, 2016|7:51 am

Shi'ite fighters hold an Islamic State flag which they pulled down as they celebrate victory in the town of Garma, Iraq, May 26, 2016.

A parasitic flesh-eating disease is reportedly breaking out throughout the Middle East, with the Islamic State terror group contributing to the problem with its death and destruction campaigns that create environments where disease can fester and spread. Breitbart News reported that thousands of cases have been reported in Syria, Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan, as nearly four million Syrian refugees flee their country's civil war and seek shelter in Europe. The tropical disease, called Cutaneous leishmaniasis, is caused by bites from infected sand flies that live amid the squalid conditions created by IS (also known as ISIL or ISIS) destruction. The disease creates open sores on the skin, which can leave large permanent scars and cause disfigurement and lead to heavy social stigma for survivors due to visible signs of the disease. If left untreated, it can also be fatal. Earlier this week, MailOnline shared information from the Kurdish Red Crescent that the disease has also been spread by IS leaving rotting copses out on the streets. However, the validity of the information has been disputed by scientists at the School of Tropical Medicines. Dr Waleed Al-Salem of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine explained: "There are thousands of cases in the region but it is still underestimated because no one can count the exact number of people affected. When people are bitten by a sand fly – which are tiny and smaller than a mosquito – it can take anything between two to six months to have the infection." He added: "So someone might have picked it up in Syria but then they may have fled into Lebanon or Turkey, or even into Europe as they seek refuge. Prior to the outbreak of war there was good control of diseases, parasites and sand flies but when the conflict started no one cared, conditions worsened and the health system broke down, which has created an ideal environment for disease outbreaks." Peter Hotez, dean of the U.S. National School of Tropical Medicine, warned that another Ebola situation is at risk of developing unless the proper measures are taken to contain it. "We need to ring fence them or risk another situation like Ebola out of the conflict zones in West Africa in 2014," Hotez said. "We are only getting glimpses of the situation from refugees fleeing the conflict zones and going to camps in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey." The Wold Health Organization has listed Cutaneous leishmaniasis as one of 17 tropical diseases that have been neglected, and said that the proper way to fight the disease is through early detection and treatment. It has also called on conditions at refugee camps in the surrounding region to be improved, an said that there needs to be continued surveillance to monitor the outbreak.

Jan Crouch Is Remembered as a Broadcasting Genius Who Leaves a Great Legacy

9:00AM EDT 6/1/2016 Steve Strang

When I learned Jan Crouch had a massive stroke last week, memories came flooding back to me. When I learned she passed away Tuesday, I decided to share my thoughts as my way of paying tribute to a great woman. I had known Jan and her husband, Paul, since the mid-1980s, only about 10 years after the Trinity Broadcast Network (TBN) began. It was already large then, but who would have guessed how it would grow to dominate and define Christian TV as it has? I got to know the Crouches when I was a guest several times on their flagship program, Praise the Lord. I observed that Paul was the builder and consummate negotiator and businessman. No detail of their huge operation escaped his scrutiny. I could also see Jan was the programmer and the decorator. The elaborate sets with the columns, gold leaf and French provincial look were her doing. Even though many thought the sets were overdone, I thought they were beautiful. But that was Jan. She was beautiful—even if overdone—with her makeup, pink wigs and elaborate outfits. At the same time, she was a spiritual woman. She loved the Bible and would read long passages on the air. She had a heart for the lost, and leading people to Christ was always a part of what TBN did. Several years ago, I talked to an elderly, retired Assemblies of God missionary who knew Jan in the 1950s when Jan was a teenager at her father's church in Columbus, Georgia. Our obituary of Jan tells of her roots in the Assemblies of God. This missionary and her husband would occasionally preach for Jan's father. She said she remembers Jan being full of life and playfulness. Even back then, she would use food coloring to dye a streak of some odd color in her hair. Yet after the service Jan would be the first to the altar, seeking God's will for her life. That anecdote to me was a foreshadowing of the personality Jan developed—a bit outlandish by the standards of many but a deeply spiritual woman. Over the years, Charisma covered the Crouches. I even wrote a few of the stories. Once, we wanted to shoot a cover picture while Paul and Jan were in Orlando shooting a special Praise the Lord show at a large church. Jan didn't want to be in the photo because she didn't like what she was wearing. I tried to persuade her, assuring her she looked fine—besides, she was going to appear on national TV soon wearing that same outfit. But she said print photos were permanent and that picture would be around a long time. I found that an interesting perspective from someone who almost lived in front of a TV camera. My articles told of the great struggles they had at the start and how TBN almost didn't make it. In the early days, TBN was considered smaller than Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcast Network (CBN) or Jim Bakker's PTL (which was "borrowed" from the Crouch's Praise the Lord). When Pat Robertson ran for president in 1988, CBN morphed into the Family Channel, and when scandal brought down PTL, TBN became No. 1 and has continued to explode, as some of our articles have documented. Jan was undoubtedly a genius who put together the lineup of programs people wanted to see. She was the one who suggested Charisma do a big special in 1990 for our 15th anniversary. More than 5,000 people attended a live taping at Calvary Assembly in Orlando. We had a few commercials in which we sold subscriptions, and we ultimately sold more than enough to pay for it. I was elated. For us, it was a huge risk, but it paid off. When I started Charisma, I never thought we might expand into television. Not long after that, Jan suggested I host an interview program called The Other Side of the Story. We shot a pilot with Tammy Faye Bakker telling her side of the PTL scandal. It was a great interview, but I was out of my element and afraid we'd run out of people who had been pilloried in the press and needed this outlet to tell their side of the story. Jan must have felt the same way, as we mutually agreed not to continue beyond the pilot. A couple of years later, we tried again with a 30-minute, journalistic, magazine-format TV program called Charisma Now. Over three years, we shot 100 episodes, many of them on-location by going to the offices of people like Bishop T.D. Jakes or Dr. Reginald Cherry. I hired a young freelancer named Matt Crouch (Paul and Jan's youngest son), who was then making a name for himself shooting TV programs like ours and who was beginning to shoot movies like Megiddo: The Omega Code 2 and later One Night With the King, starring Omar Sharif and Tiffany Dupont. We also went together to Toronto to cover the "Toronto Blessing" and to Pensacola, Florida, to cover the Brownsville revival. Once, while shooting in Dallas, Matt took me for a tour of TBN's impressive facilities and told me the stories behind how decisions were made to invest in various facilities. It was fascinating, off-the-record stuff I could never write about. During that time, I flew with Paul and Matt to El Salvador and did a documentary on their Enlace network in Latin America. Other times Matt came to Orlando to visit our facility. I told him we let startup churches use our large meeting room on Sunday. That inspired him to do the same at his facilities in the Hollywood area. One of my most memorable experiences was on New Year's Eve in 1997, when I had dinner with the Crouches at Universal Studios in Los Angeles. I was there on business and asked Matt and Laurie if they wanted to have dinner. They were having dinner with Paul and Jan and invited me along. It was a pleasant and rather normal family gathering as I recall. Later that night, I went to a "watchnight service" with Matt and Laurie and met Dyan Cannon, the movie actress who had accepted Christ. In that era, Matt and I became close friends. Now, since he's taken over the helm of TBN, I mainly see him only at the National Religious Broadcasters convention. That's also where I see his brother, Paul Jr., whom I admire and also consider a friend. There's more I could say. I had frustrations doing a program for three years with TBN. As an entrepreneur, I was used to calling the shots. Anyone who works with TBN knows they have "rules." While our show was always in their top 10 shows, we always lost money. We don't take donations like most Christian broadcasters, so we didn't have a good way to monetize our expenses. I finally concluded television was not for us, and we went our separate ways. But I've kept in touch and respect what the Crouches have accomplished. In 2007, TBN bought the Holy Land Experience in my hometown of Orlando. A couple years after the Holy Land Experience purchase, Jan sent word she wanted to give complementary tickets to my entire staff. So one weekend we had a staff outing at the Holy Land Experience. Of course, I've been there many times. It's spectacular. And you can see Jan's touch everywhere you look. (After she turned over the reins of TBN to Matt, Jan focused more on the Holy Land Experience.) In a town that caters to tourists, TBN is representing the Gospel in a world-class way. If you haven't visited it, you must. In early May, I talked about this with TBN UK's Leon Schoeman, who was interviewing me in London. I told him I hadn't seen Jan in a while and wanted to reach out to her. Little did I know she would be dead from a massive stroke just a few weeks later. I regret I didn't get to tell Jan how much I respect her legacy and admire her genius (even if I didn't understand everything she did). Jan Crouch left a mark on Christian television that will long be remembered. Hundreds of thousands of viewers will miss her as well as family and friends like me who knew her.

‘Like Cologne’: At Least 18 ‘Very Young Women’ Sexually Assaulted At Music Festival

by Oliver JJ Lane1 Jun 2016

As many as 26 young women may have been sexually abused at a festival in Germany, with the attackers employing pack tactics to surround and isolate girls before launching their assaults. The method of attack, which separates women from their friends and leaves them vulnerable to sex attacks and theft, has led German newspaper Die Welt to liken the attacks to the mass sexual assaults outside Cologne central station on New Year’s Eve. As of Tuesday morning, there were 18 official complaints made to police about attacks at the annual Schlossgrabenfest music festival in Darmstadt, Germany. That number had risen to 26 victims by Tuesday afternoon, with police still speaking to witnesses and complainants, who have been described as “very young”. Some were so young, their parents reported the crimes to police, rather than the victims themselves. Police have not ruled out the possibility that more may come forward, according to reports. According to a police press statement, three suspects were arrested at the festival after the girls they allegedly attacked went directly to police to complain. The men, who were arrested and released pending further investigations, are Pakistani “asylum seekers” aged between 28 and 31 years old. A police spokesman said: “The perpetrators proceeded in small groups to surround and touch women immorally. The women said they had the impression the men were of the South Asian region. “On Saturday on a completely packed dance floor in the area of HR Disco, [there was] sexual harassment of several women.” The men were said to move in groups of ten. Hans-Jürgen Irmer, member of parliament for pro-mass migration German leader Angela Merkel’s own Christian Democrat party was horrified at the news of the attacks, reports Junge Freiheit. He told the weekly conservative newspaper that the behaviour of immigrants in this case was “totally unacceptable”, and that if found guilty those men responsible had “forefeited his right to hospitability” from European peoples. If convicted, he said the men should find themselves on the “first plane back to Pakistan”. The Cologne sex attacks to which these latest alleged migrant crimes have been likened were an important factor in bringing to prominence in Germany the scale of criminality in the wake of the migrant crisis. Breitbart London reported on the Cologne attacks in January as German police came to acknowledge the enormous scale of offending which, far from their original claims of having been a quiet and well policed night, actually saw a severely overstretched force unable to prevent over 1,000 alleged incidents of theft, assault, and sexual abuse.

A gorilla, a boy, and God's created order

Wednesday, June 1, 2016 Bryan Fischer - Guest Columnist

The dominion that God has given to man over animals certainly means that it is altogether right and proper to dispatch a member of the animal kingdom the moment it poses a threat to human life. The nation has been mesmerized and polarized by the story of the young boy who fell into the gorilla enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo, an incident which resulted in the shooting death of the gorilla. How should clear thinking Americans process this event – and should they come down on the side of the gorilla or the zoo? The United States was formed as a Christian nation, built on the truth claims of the Judeo-Christian tradition and the laws of nature and nature's God. The only way to see this circumstance clearly is to view it through the lens of Scripture. The Bible is quite clear that both man and animals have been created by God. Neither men nor animals are evolved beings. The Founders understood this clearly, and grounded our nation's entire political experiment on the truth that man is a created being who has been endowed by his Creator – "Creator" with a capital C – with certain unalienable rights. This has enormous significance for how we view this event, because if evolutionists are right (they aren't) then all life is on a continuum in which one life form gradually shades into the next and higher life form. For the Darwinian, the difference between a higher-order primate – say, a gorilla – and a child is merely a matter of degree, a matter of small percentages. We've all heard the stories about how we share 99% of DNA patterns with more complex members of the animal kingdom. But if there is a Creator, the creator of both man and animal, then what he says about what he has made determines how we look at things. What we find in Scripture is the clear declaration that man and man only is made in the image of God. Animals are not. While animals have a soul, only man has a spirit. Only man is capable of entering into a relationship with God; only man is capable of rational thought, communication, and moral choice; and only man lives forever. As Genesis 1 puts it (emphasis mine): "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness ... So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him" (Genesis 1:26,27). In other words, the difference between man and animal is not one of degree but of kind. They belong to entirely different orders of being altogether. The life of a human being is of infinite worth, while the life of an animal is not. There is an unbridgeable chasm in worth, value, and significance between even the smallest human being and the most majestic animal. In God's created economy, man is given dominion over every living thing. "Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth" (Genesis 1:26). The dominion that God has given to man over animals means that zoos are morally permissible, despite the bleatings of animal rights activists, for they give people an opportunity to observe the beauty, majesty, and complexity of God's creatures. And the dominion that God has given to man over animals certainly means that it is altogether right and proper to dispatch a member of the animal kingdom the moment it poses a threat to human life. Some claim they know for certain how gorillas think and insist that the animal had nothing but tenderness in mind for the child. But there are any number of instances where zoo gorillas have attacked human beings, including one incident in which a gorilla gnawed on the face and chest of a child before being taken down by a SWAT team. It would have been inhumane to gamble a child's life on the supposed ability of a human to read a gorilla's mind. Tranquilizing the gorilla was likewise out of the question. It would have taken several minutes for the tranquilizer to take effect, and the jolt of the dart may have agitated the gorilla and dramatically increased the danger to the child. While secular fundamentalists continue to elevate animal life to the point where it takes precedence over human life – witness the vigils for Harambe and the death threats directed against the parents of the child – God never makes that mistake. Thus, from a biblical perspective, the choice between gorilla and child may have been painful; but it was not, and should not have been, tough. No one ever takes delight in the death of a majestic animal, but there is simply no comparison between the death of an animal and the death of a child. The outpouring of anger and outrage directed at zoo officials and at this boy's parents is beneath the dignity of a Christian nation. The predominant national emotional reaction should be relief and gratitude that a young boy's life was spared, and happiness for his parents. The fact that the national mood is something much different is sobering and telling.

Gunmen storm Mogadishu hotel; 13 killed

Al-Shabaab suspected UPDATED 8:07 PM EDT Jun 01, 2016

MOGADISHU, Somalia (CNN) —Suspected Al-Shabaab gunmen set off an explosion and stormed a popular hotel in Somalia's capital Wednesday, killing at least 13 people and three attackers, a security official said. A lengthy siege at Mogadishu's Ambassador Hotel ended early Thursday, said Somali security official Ahmed Barre. One militant died in an initial car bomb attack, according to the National Intelligence and Security Agency. Barre said the other two were killed by Somali special forces. At least 40 other people were injured in the attack, according to Capt. Da'ud Hajji, a senior Somali police officer. Two Somali lawmakers are among the dead, the Somali National News Agency reported. The siege began when attackers detonated a car packed with explosives at the gates of the building, Hajji said. The explosion shook nearby offices and injured bystanders in front of the hotel, witnesses said. Victims flooded a nearby hospital. "Almost every 10 minutes they brought new people and bodies in," said Bashir Ali Mohamed, who was at the hospital visiting family members injured in the blast. "I have never seen such a horrible thing. Blood is everywhere." Lawmakers killed More than two hours after the attack began, Mohamed said he could still hear gunshots and ambulances. He felt the blast from his office a kilometer away, posting a photo on Twitter showing smoke rising in the distance. Details are still emerging about the victims of the attack. Two members of Parliament, Mohamed Mohamud Gurre and Abdullahi Jama, were among them, the Somali news agency said. The two lawmakers were close friends, a top Somali official said. "Rarely saw them apart," Planning and International Cooperation Minister Abdi Aynte posted on Twitter. "Their bond was inseparable & they martyred together. RIP." The Ambassador Hotel is a popular spot for Somali politicians and Westerners. Authorities rescued 10 people and cleared out three of the hotel's four floors, according to the security agency. At least three of the people rescued were members of Somalia's Parliament, said Aden Osman, a hotel employee who also escaped the attack. Al-Shabaab has used tactic before Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility soon after the attack. Citing an unnamed commander, a statement on a website linked to Al-Shabaab said one of the group's jihadist fighters detonated a car with explosives at the gate, allowing armed militants to enter the building. It's a tactic Al-Shabaab has used before, such as an attack at another hotel in the Somali capital last year that left 15 people dead. The militants aim to turn Somalia into a fundamentalist Islamic state. The group has been blamed for attacks in Somalia that have killed international aid workers, journalists, civilian leaders and African Union peacekeepers.

Teenager burned alive for refusing marriage proposal in Pakistan

Principal of school where she worked attacked her for spurning his son’s hand

Islamabad: A young Pakistani woman died on Wednesday after she was tortured and set alight in the country’s conservative northeast for refusing a marriage proposal from the son of a former colleague, relatives and police said. Maria Sadaqat, 19, was attacked by a group of people on Monday in the village of Upper Dewal, close to the summer hill resort of Murree, outside the capital, Islamabad. “She was badly tortured and then burned alive. We brought her to hospital in Islamabad but she succumbed to her wounds today,” Abdul Basit, Sadaqat’s uncle, told AFP outside a burns centre at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences in the capital. Grieving relatives outside the centre wept and protested at the teenager’s death as police moved her body to another hospital for a post-mortem. Basit said his niece had been attacked by the principal of the private school where she had formerly worked as a teacher, and by his accomplices after she refused a marriage proposal from his son. “He was divorced and twice her age, so she refused the proposal and left her job when they pursued her time and again ... eventually, they attacked her,” Basit said. Police said Sadaqat gave a statement before her death naming the principal and four others as her attackers. “We have arrested at least one of the accused and a hunt is on for the rest,” Mazhar Iqbal, the officer directing the murder investigation, said. A doctor at the hospital said Sadaqat had succumbed to serious burns. “The poor woman was becoming better but then could not survive because most parts of her body had serious burn injuries,” said Ayesha Ihsani. It was the second time in just over a month that a Pakistani woman had been murdered over a marriage issue. A woman believed to be aged between 16-18 was drugged, strangled and her body burnt on the orders of a village jirga (council) in northwest Pakistan on April 29, allegedly for helping a friend to elope with her lover. Hundreds of women are murdered by their relatives in Pakistan each year on the pretext of defending what is seen as family honour.

WASHINGTON (WJLA) - A man accused of war crimes in Somalia who now works as a security guard at Dulles International Airport has been placed on administrative leave, CNN reports. According to a CNN investigation, Yusuf Abdi Ali has been living in the D.C. area for about 20 years and currently resides in Alexandria, Virginia. The report says he is accused of "committing atrocities while he was a military commander during Somalia's brutal civil war." "He oversaw some of the most incredible violence that you can imagine," Kathy Roberts, an attorney for the Center for Justice and Accountability, which is leading a civil suit against Ali, told CNN. "He tortured people personally; he oversaw torture." More than 1,000 accused war criminals live and work in the United States, according to CNN.

'The Next 5 Months Are Going To Shock The World' - CEO Hints At Massive Shortages As 'Spirit Of Violence And Unrest' Rises In America - We Are Watching 'End Times' Prophecy Unfolding

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die While most Americans living within our country right now under capitalism can walk into almost any grocery store across the country and lay down a few bucks to pick up a dozen eggs, this new story from the Los Angeles Times tells us that to do the same thing in Venezuela, you'll need to fork over up to $150 or more for the same dozen eggs. Those living in Venezuela might want to read this recent story from BioPrepper called "Ingenious Foods People Made During Famines" as their society breaks down and goes through total collapse, a loud and clear warning to America. The 'fruits of socialism' are on full display in Venezuela as also seen in the 1st video below, a stunning video from a Venezuelan supermarket that shows rows and rows of empty shelves and should be seen as a dire warning of what could very easily be happening here...and not too far ahead we're beginning to learn from so-called 'experts'. In the 2nd video below, A Watchman of the Sword shows us why we may be watching long-warned prophecy now unfolding in Venezuela and the world with famine now striking and nation rising against nation. As we see in the chart below from the LATimes story, there are huge differences between what food products cost in Venezuela as recently as last December and now, and the black market/street vendor prices are even more extreme. We've reported that hungry Venezuelans are killing birds and animals such as cats and dogs in the streets to eat; this chart clearly shows us why that is an option that many are being required to take as famine awaits. Much more below including a warning from one CEO of 'shortages ahead' as well as more signs America is 'falling apart at the seams'. The story over at Zero Hedge tells us that former FED Chairman Alan Greenspan, one of those 'experts', is having a 'breakdown of truthiness' once again as he warns us we're running straight towards disaster...ZH also adds this disclaimer: "If only he hadn't gotten us into this mess in the first place." For nearly 2 years, All News Pipeline has been sounding the alarm about what we have seen clearly coming down the road at us. A recent story from Michael Snyder over at the Economic Collapse Blog tells us that a 'spirit of violence and civil unrest is rising in America' as our country begins to come apart at the seams. It was only a matter of time before our deeply divided nation was going to start coming apart at the seams. Waves of anger, frustration, violence and civil unrest are starting to sweep across the United States, and political rallies for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump have become a focal point for releasing some of that energy. The angry mob that threw rocks, bottles and burning T-shirts at police and Donald Trump supporters on Tuesday night wanted to get the attention of the national media, and they got it in droves. Now that the election is less than five months away, this kind of scene is going to be repeated over and over, and this is something that I warned about back in March. Millions upon millions of our young people have fully embraced the radical left, and they have already made it exceedingly clear that they are not afraid to use violence to advance their cause. Never before in my lifetime have I seen America so divided. Our politicians and the mainstream media have been endlessly pitting various groups against one another for years, and wherever you look hearts are growing very cold. I have said it before, and I will say it again. I believe that this is going to be the most chaotic election season that we have ever experienced, and the chaos and violence that are going to be unleashed over the next five months are going to shock the entire world. Over at SHTFPlan, Jeremiah Johnson tells us that Americans should be mourning the death of United States as soon we will either be 'ripe for internal collapse...or a large war'. We're told that the net is now closing in all around us as the 'soft, creeping tyranny' we've been witnessing the past decade+ may soon be turned into a full-fledged totalitarian state with this warning: "All it's going to take is one spark" to turn America into something Adolf Hitler would have been proud of. Over at SHTFPlan we also learn that one outspoken CEO is hinting at massive shortages as he warns that some manufacturing companies have no choice but to go directly to the mining companies to acquire precious metals for their high end products. The latest SQAlert from a 'banking insider' seen below videos offers us another look at what we've been watching unfolding across this country as we're told that 'things are much worse than anyone realized'. While even some preppers (who shall remain unnamed) have recently made statements such as 'there is only so much prepping that one can do' and have lamented over ANP and others continually emphasizing the coming collapse, we'll warn here of the dangers of 'prepper complacency' and why we feel absolute called upon to continuing sounding the alarm as long as we are still able to: there are still many Americans and people throughout the world who have not 'awoken' to the coming dangers.: But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. FROM BANKING INSIDER:'things are much worse than anyone realized' --'If you have an IRA, 401K look for a 40% - 80% cut (depending on the financial stability institution who holds it Steve, Just more confirmation. Talked to my banking contact. He/she was called back in from vacation, no chance of vacation anytime soon. "things are much worse than anyone realized" "If you have an IRA, 401K look for a 40% - 80% cut (depending on the financial stability institution who holds it)" My thought- They are planning how to cut out the good meat on the dead and rotting corpse of the American economy and who gets what. And the who will not be you and me. "things are in a panic mode", "I would not be surprised if we did not make it to the end of the year" I would not be surprised if we didn't make it to the end of the summer" When he responded to what Greenspan said about us looking like Grease and Cypress not Venezuela, he disagreed it will be like Venezuela. Just more up to the minute confirmation, as you have said this is not years away but months. The final preparations for these plans are being put into place now!

A winged baby, semi-naked dancers and a man with a bird's nest on his head: How Switzerland decided to mark opening of world's longest rail tunnel

The new £8.5bn Gotthard Base Tunnel was launched today with spectacular opening ceremony featuring 600 people

Orchestrated by German director Volker Hesse, performance included several bizarre outfits and re-enactments

Winged baby with an oversized head and dance troupe in their underwear moved to the sound of Alpine horns

The tunnel through the Swiss Alps was first conceived in sketch-form in 1947 but construction began 17 years ago

Journey time between Zurich and Milan will be cut by an hour thanks to trains hurtling along at up to 155mph

By Euan McLelland and Julian Robinson for MailOnline Published: 14:24 EST, 1 June 2016 | Updated: 02:12 EST, 2 June 2016

The Swiss have put on one of the most bizarre opening ceremonies in history to mark the completion of the world's longest tunnel. Famed for their trains, organisers roped in more than 600 dancers, acrobats and dramatic actors and even composed the new route's very own theme tune as they pulled out all the stops for Wednesday's inauguration at the tunnel's northern portal in Erstfeld. Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, President Francois Hollande of France and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi all came to southern Switzerland for an upbeat, glitzy celebration featuring musical bands and dancers. Under purple neon lights, performers dressed in orange miners' suits and protective helmets danced atop a moving rail car to the rhythm of pick-axes and construction machinery. Trapeze artists hung from chains or ropes, a band blared out a thumping military march and helicopters buzzed overhead as the celebration strived to both thrill and offer a show of European solidarity. It also featured a baby with feathered white wings and oversized head and a man dancing with a bird's nest on his head. Music was provided by Alpine horn players, an army band and live choirs A dance troupe also performed in just their underwear before fireworks were sent blasting into the sky outside the venue. The out-there event was in honour of the world's longest rail tunnel, running for 35 miles under the Swiss Alps, and was put together by German director Volker Hesse. According to commentators, the performance explored the myths of the massif, the modernity of the book and the North-South reconciliation were its central themes. The tunnel has come in under its £8.5billion and its creation will mean a million fewer trucks on the roads. High-speed trains will whisk passengers and cargo in 17 minutes through a mountain range that divides northern and southern Europe between Erstfeld in the Swiss canton of Uri, to Bodio in the Ticino canton. As the first train used the tunnel today, experts described the completion of the 17-year construction project as a 'masterpiece of timing, cost and policy'. Fittingly, the first ones to travel the tunnel at the official opening will be 500 lucky winners plus guests from the 130,000 who entered a ticket lottery for the inaugural trip. Swiss forces took no chances with security for this afternoon's funky inauguration. Almost 2,000 additional Swiss troops were called, helicopters buzzed overhead and air space restrictions were put over the tunnel area. When it officially opens, the Gotthard will surpass Japan's 33.4-mile Seikan tunnel as the world's longest train tunnel. The 31.4-mile Channel Tunnel that links England and France will be bumped into third place. The tunnel along Europe's main rail line that connects the ports of Rotterdam in the north to Genoa in the south snakes through the mountains as much as 1.5 miles below daylight and through rock as hot as 46 degrees Celsius (114.8°F). Engineers had to dig and blast through 73 kinds of rock as hard as granite and as soft as sugar in creating it - a process that lead to the deaths of nine construction workers. According to the Swiss rail service, it took 43,800 hours of non-stop work by 125 labourers rotating in three shifts to lay the tunnel's slab track.

ISIS jihadis ARE driven by Islam and the world needs to accept that no matter how 'uncomfortable' the facts, says the Muslim man in charge of BBC Religion

Aaqil Ahmed defended BBC decision to refer to 'so-called Islamic State'

Told discussion it is untrue that 'ISIS has nothing to do with Islam'

Says although 'uncomfortable' members of the group 'are Muslims'

Critics including Prime Minister have called on BBC to stop using 'Islamic State' when referring to the terror group

The BBC's head of religion has said although it is 'uncomfortable' to accept, the ideology behind ISIS is based on Islamic doctrine. Aaqil Ahmed, the first Muslim to hold the post, said it was untrue to suggest that ISIS had nothing to do with Islam, despite the fact that the majority of Muslims do not agree with the extremist group. He was speaking at an event at Huddersfield University, when he was asked to explain the BBC's controversial policy on referring to the group as 'so-called Islamic State'. Prime Minister David Cameron has been among those who have called for the corporation not to use the phrase when referring to the terror group operating in Iraq and Syria, saying Muslims would 'recoil' at the phrase being used to justify the 'perversion of a great religion'. Mr Ahmed was asked at the event organised by Lapido, the centre for religious literacy in journalism, to defend the term by barrister Neil Addison on the grounds that he wouldn't have said 'so-called Huddersfield University'. According to a report by Lapido, he responded by saying: 'I hear so many people say ISIS has nothing to do with Islam – of course it has. 'They are not preaching Judaism. It might be wrong but what they are saying is an ideology based on some form of Islamic doctrine. They are Muslims. 'That is a fact and we have to get our head around some very uncomfortable things. That is where the difficulty comes in for many journalists because the vast majority of Muslims won't agree with them [ISIS].' Clarifying his comments, he told The Times that he had not been referring explicitly to the name of the group, but that 'it [was] a reflection of the complexity of how you describe them and the religious belief structure.' The extremists are variously known as Islamic State, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and Daesh, based the Arabic acronym for the group, which the terrorists consider to be offensive because it sounds similar to the word 'Dahes' meaning 'one who sows discord'. Critics have warned that referring to 'Islamic State' legitimises the group's attempt to carve out parts of Iraq and Syria. The BBC has used its preferred term to describe ISIS since 2014, when the group shortened its name from Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant to Islamic State. However, the broadcaster qualifies the phrase by adding 'so-called' or 'self-styled', a reference to the extremists' claims of statehood rather than religious affiliation. Last summer, Mr Cameron asked the BBC to drop the term, and criticised BBC presenter John Humphrys for referring to the group as Islamic State. During an interview on BBC Radio 4's Today programme Mr Cameron referred to the group as 'ISIL'. 'I wish the BBC would stop calling it Islamic State because it's not an Islamic State; what it is is an appalling, barbarous regime,' Mr Cameron said. 'It is a perversion of the religion of Islam and many Muslims listening to this programme will recoil every time they hear the words "Islamic State". 'So-called' or Isil is better,' he added. His request was backed by 120 MPs, including Boris Johnson, Keith Vaz and Alex Salmond, who wrote to Director General Lord Hall calling for the broadcaster to refer to the group as Daesh instead. However, Lord Hall rejected the demand, saying to use Daesh would 'bias their coverage', risked giving the 'impression of support' for the group's opponents and 'would not preserve the BBC's impartiality'. Former Channel 4 commissioning editor for religion and head of multicultural programming, Mr Ahmed was appointed as the BBC's head of religion and ethics in 2009, in what was seen as a radical departure from broadcasting tradition. He began his broadcasting career at the BBC, primarily working for BBC Birmingham, and had also worked as a director for Here And Now, as well as a producer and director on a number of documentaries and news broadcasts. Prior to his 2009 appointment, the then Archbishop of Canterbury was reported to have raised concerns over the prospect of a Muslim head of religious broadcasting, amid fears the BBC was reducing its religious output. Previously, the post had been considered a job for a senior and respected cleric or lay churchgoer. Last month, a report compiled by Mr Ahmed suggested that the BBC was too Christian in its output, and should consider scrapping some of its long-running programmes in favour of shows for Muslim, Hindu and Sikh audiences. The report was created in consultation with non-Christians who expressed their belief that the BBC is disproportionate in its religious content, and that while there are plenty of shows that celebrate Christianity, there are too few for other faiths. The recent white paper on the BBC's future ordered the broadcaster to offer more for ethnic minorities. As it stands, religious programming across the BBC includes the likes of Songs of Praise, Sunday Morning Live and The Life of Muhammad on television. Moral Maze, Beyond Belief and Thought for the Day feature on radio. Muslim critics have suggested that the BBC could televise Friday prayers, cover Eid or show children attending madrasahs to boost their Islamic serving.

May was a bloody month in Chicago — 66 dead and nearly 400 shot

By Alexandra Chachkevitch and Rosemary Regina Sobol 6-1-16

The gray sedan was parked in the ambulance bay of the hospital, its doors open and bullet holes just above and below the driver's side window. Minutes earlier, 15-year-old Fabien Lavinder was in the car when someone stepped from an alley and shot him in the chest, police said. The driver took the boy to the hospital, where he died shortly before 11 p.m. Tuesday. Fabien was the 66th and final homicide last month, the deadliest May in Chicago since 1995, when 75 homicides were recorded, according to police records. He was among nearly 400 people shot last month. The month's toll was fueled by a Memorial Day weekend in which six people were killed and 63 wounded, and a Mother's Day weekend when more than 50 people were shot, eight fatally. That brought the total number of people shot in Chicago so far this year to more than 1,500. At least 250 of them have died. In 1995, there had been 320 homicides at this time, police data show. Chicago police say the violence has been stoked by gang conflicts and a proliferation of guns, mixed with weak gun law enforcement. The department has blamed most of the violence on a core group of about 1,400 people, whom they have used data analytics to pinpoint. Police provided no motive for Fabien's shooting. His family said it had no idea why anyone would shoot him and that it had seen enough of the street violence. “It really does make me sick. I want to leave Chicago,’’ said Fabien's mother, Ericka Wright, 45. "We are ready to go." The boy's grandmother, Faye Lavinder, added, "I don’t know what this city has come to when you have 66 shootings in the weekend. Sixty-six people shot!” She added, "We can fight disease and cure this and cure that…. Someone needs to cure the land ... the city." Fabien had been out with two friends Tuesday night and they were dropping off one of the friends when the shooting occurred in, the family said. Fabien at first didn't know he had been shot, his family said. As he started bleeding, his friends drove him to the hospital, slapping his face and throwing water on him to keep him awake, the family said. Wright said she was at home sleeping when one of Fabien's eight siblings, a daughter, shook her awake. "Mom, mom, Fabien got shot," she told Wright. Wright jumped into her car and raced to the hospital. "I was praying on the way there that it wasn’t that bad. I couldn’t say goodbye to my baby," she said. Police wrapped yellow crime tape around the car after Fabien was taken into the hospital. More than a dozen relatives and friends stood near the emergency entrance. They hugged and cried. A man in a black T-shirt and jeans walked back and forth on the sidewalk across from the hospital. He held his head in his hands as he sobbed. “We should have just stayed in the burbs, man,” he said to no one in particular.

27 Nations Set to Join RIMPAC Exercise in Hawaii, California

Stars and Stripes | Jun 01, 2016 | by Wyatt Olson

Four nations will join this summer's Rim of the Pacific drills in Hawaii, increasing the number of countries participating in the world's largest international maritime exercise to 27. Brazil, Denmark, Germany and Italy will take part for the first time in the biennial RIMPAC, which is slated to begin June 30 and end Aug. 4, the Navy said Tuesday. China, which joined the exercise in 2014, will also participate. This year's U.S. Pacific Fleet-hosted drills -- which will focus on disaster relief, maritime security, sea control and complex warfighting -- will include 45 ships, five submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel. Participating nations include Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Colombia, France, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Peru, South Korea, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Tonga and the United Kingdom. Drills will include amphibious operations, gunnery, counter-piracy, mine clearance, explosive ordnance disposal and diving and salvage operations. Defensive training against missiles, submarines and aircraft will also take place. While most of the exercise is held in Hawaii, amphibious operations will take place in Southern California, featuring a harpoon missile shoot from a Navy littoral combat ship. A submarine rescue is new for this year, the Navy said. Playing a major role in this year's RIMPAC is the Navy's "Great Green Fleet," a yearlong initiative that uses energy conservation measures and alternative fuels to demonstrate how cutting energy costs can contribute to overall military readiness. Almost all the vessels participating will use an approved alternate-fuel blend, the Navy said. Some in Congress have called for China to be disinvited to RIMPAC, citing the country's expansionist actions in the South China Sea, where it has enlarged small atolls through sand dredging. The country has built facilities and runways on some, construction the U.S. characterizes as militarization. Last month, U.S. Rep. Mark Takai, of Hawaii, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, asked Secretary of Defense Ash Carter to reconsider China's invitation in light of its naval actions over the past two years. "I guess my question is why then should we reward China for this aggressive behavior by including them in an event meant for allies and partners?" Takai said to Carter during a March hearing. He described China's behavior as "the polar opposite of U.S. objectives in the region." In late April, China told the U.S. it would deny a Hong Kong port visit by the USS John C. Stennis aircraft carrier strike group planned for May 3-8. The denial likely came in response to the strike group's recent presence near the disputed Spratly Islands close to the Philippines. U.S. Pacific Fleet commander Adm. Scott Swift has said on numerous occasions he believes the path forward with China is to deepen relationships with military-to-military contact. In 2014, China sent four ships to RIMPAC, including the destroyer Haikou and hospital ship Peace Ark. It also sent a spy ship, which remained in international waters off Hawaii.

The New Dark Ages - The New Black Death - The New Doomsday - The New Barbarian Hordes Have Arrived

June 2, 2016 Submitted to All News Pipeline by Dr. Peter Pry - executive director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security. He served in the Congressional EMP Commission, the Congressional Strategic Posture Commission, the House Armed Services Committee, and the CIA. He is author of "Blackout Wars." Story originally published at the Mackenzie Institute. Historians note that one of the signs of the decline and fall of the Roman Empire was the rise of walled cities. Rome was no longer capable of defending its far flung borders from invading barbarians. So cities had to defend themselves by erecting fortifications, becoming fortresses that are popular tourist attractions today, but that then signified the collapse of Roman civilization and the advent of the Dark Ages. The New Barbarians Now Washington under the leadership of President Barak Obama lacks the political will to defeat or deter the new barbarians that threaten Western Civilization: —Islamist terrorism is raiding Europe and America, pouring hundreds of fighters and thousands of new recruits, mixed with refugees from the Middle East, across the West’s undefended borders. The invasion happens at a time when Western elites suffer from a crisis of confidence in the merits of their own civilization, rejecting Judeo-Christian values and seeking to replace these with a spiritually dead culture of secular humanism and materialism. Islam, not merely a religion but a totalitarian ideology, and its fervent adherents cannot reasonably be expected to assimilate, or even co-exist, with Western secular humanism – the antithesis of Islam. Civilizational suicide by Western elites is well described in George Weigel’s book The Cube and the Cathedral (2005). –North Korea repeatedly threatens nuclear missile strikes. On February 7, 2016 Pyongyang orbited a second satellite over the U.S. on the optimum trajectory to evade National Missile Defenses and make a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack that could blackout the U.S. electric grid and kill millions of Americans, if the satellite is nuclear armed. For the first time in history, EMP and cyber attacks against electric grids makes it possible for failed states like North Korea, and even non-state actors like terrorists, to destroy the most advanced and successful societies on Earth. –Iran may also be capable of making a nuclear EMP attack on the U.S.. Iran is allied to North Korea and has orbited satellites on similar trajectories. President Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA–the Iran nuclear deal) is unverifiable, and failed to verify the past and present status of Iran’s nuclear weapons program, as promised to Congress. The UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), upon which the Obama Administration depends for inspections and verification of the JCPOA, knows only what Iran permits the IAEA to know. The IAEA has access only to overt nuclear sites declared as such by Iran–not to military facilities or many underground sites that almost certainly conceal a clandestine nuclear weapons program. Iran is probably following the example of North Korea that continued developing nuclear weapons clandestinely, even while agreeing to the Agreed Framework that President Bill Clinton promised would prevent Pyongyang from developing nuclear warheads and long-range missiles. Now North Korea has both. IAEA inspections have never been an effective barrier to nuclear proliferation. —Russia and China are on the march in Europe and Asia, testing the resolve of the U.S. to defend NATO and its Pacific allies, and waging cyber warfare against the U.S. homeland. Russia and China are developing and deploying new generations of advanced nuclear weapons and missiles, while the U.S. nuclear deterrent is so old and obsolete that many question its technical reliability – and most importantly its credibility. Recently, Russia boasted it is developing a new heavy ICBM armed with 10-12 new warheads in MAneuverable Re-entry Vehicles (MARVs) that can snake through any missile defenses and destroy, with a single missile, an area the size of Texas or France. This is probably disinformation, intended to conceal the real purpose of the new MARVed ICBM, which is to achieve cruise missile-type accuracy for a surprise disarming first-strike against the U.S. nuclear deterrent. Russia and China also have a virtual monopoly in battlefield nuclear weapons, which the U.S. has mostly dismantled unilaterally, except perhaps for a few hundred aged gravity bombs stored in Europe. Worst, Russia and China have Super-EMP weapons, that could disarm the U.S. with a single blow – and the U.S. has no counterpart to these weapons (which Russia apparently has proliferated, by accident or intentionally, to North Korea). Escalation dominance in the nuclear balance would enable Russia and China to unleash aggression by their conventional forces, perhaps unopposed. Nuclear superiority would also enable them, if necessary, to win a nuclear war. New barbarians, like the barbarians of old, have little regard for such pacifist dreams as “beating swords into ploughshares” or “a world without nuclear weapons” and respect only strength. The New Black Death While new barbarians threaten Western Civilization, the Sun also threatens a New Dark Ages by the advent of a geomagnetic super-storm, like the 1859 Carrington Event. The Congressional EMP Commission, NASA, and the National Academy of Sciences estimate that if another Carrington Event happens today, natural EMP from the Sun could collapse electric grids and life-sustaining critical infrastructures worldwide, putting at risk the lives of billions. NASA estimates the likelihood of recurrence of another Carrington Event to be 12 percent per decade, which makes a catastrophic natural EMP likely within this generation or the next. The greatest threat to the U.S. and Western civilization is an EMP that blacks-out the electric grid for months or years, thereby collapsing all the life-sustaining critical infrastructures – including communications, transportation, business and manufacturing, food and water. Nuclear EMP attack is the worst threat, because it would cause the deepest damage to electronics and critical infrastructures. But a protracted nation-wide blackout imperiling the existence of civilization can also be caused by natural EMP from a rare geomagnetic super-storm, by non-nuclear EMP from radio frequency weapons, by cyber attack, and even by terrorists armed with small arms attacking key nodes in the electric grid. Military doctrine and exercises of Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran indicate these new barbarians have developed a new way of warfare, a Revolution in Military Affairs that combines cyber, sabotage, and EMP attack against electric grids to quickly defeat the West. Blackout War (2015), as my book terms it, or “Sixth Generation Warfare” as termed by Russian General Vladimir Slipchenko, would be a war without armies, navies or air forces, a war without conventional battlefields or large nuclear operations as conceived during the Cold War. Western Civilization is more vulnerable to Blackout War, and will be more surprised, than were the Roman legions when they first encountered Attilla’s mounted hordes. The Congressional EMP Commission, recently re-established by Congress, warns that a nationwide blackout lasting one year could kill up to 90 percent of the American people by starvation, industrial and environmental catastrophes (like firestorms from natural gas pipelines and radioactive plumes from nuclear reactors), and societal collapse. Thus, natural or manmade EMP, or Blackout War, could be deadlier to Western Civilization than the Black Death or other plagues that depopulated Medieval Europe. Decline of the New Rome The good news is that the EMP Commission proposed a plan in 2008 to protect the national electric grid and the lives of the American people for about $2 billion (or what the U.S. gives away every year in foreign aid to Pakistan.) The bad news is that in the 8 years since the EMP Commission submitted its plan to protect the nation’s electric grid and other critical infrastructures, the federal bureaucracy has done little or nothing. Washington’s failure to protect the American people from EMP and other potentially catastrophic threats to the electric grid is symptomatic of a general decline in federal competence such that the central government now seems incapable of accomplishing anything. For example: –The Defense Department wasted $500 million training an “army” of 50 Syrian rebels, who mostly defected to ISIS. –Health and Human Services wasted millions of dollars on a website for ObamaCare that does not work. –The federal bureaucracy cannot protect itself from cyber attacks from Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran. Once Washington was capable of mobilizing and organizing million-man armies to defeat Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan; of inventing the atomic bomb, nuclear powered submarines, and nuclear electricity; of building a national highway system and sending Man to the Moon. Now, Washington cannot even tell itself the truth. Official lies become self-delusions are symptomatic of a civilization in decline–and perhaps about to fall. Official U.S. Government estimates of unemployment, economic growth, illegal immigration – of almost anything politically important – have become so counterfactual as to be worthy of the former USSR. Consider, for example, a recent U.S. Government Accountability Office report titled Critical Infrastructure Protection: Federal Agencies Have Taken Actions To Address Electromagnetic Risks, But Opportunities Exist To Further Assess Risks And Strengthen Collaboration (March 2016). Contrary to its optimistic sounding title, GAO manages to evade admitting that the U.S. Government has failed to implement the EMP Commission’s recommendations to protect the national electric grid! The bottom line is that the national electric grid is still catastrophically vulnerable to EMP, and little or nothing is being done to correct grid vulnerability. The GAO, to its credit, admitted as much during a congressional hearing on July 22, 2015, in public testimony under questioning by Senator Ron Johnson, Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Accountability Committee. Building Walls Fortunately, some states have noticed federal incompetency, and growing threats to the grid, and are moving to protect themselves. Maine, Virginia, Florida, and Arizona have passed legislation or taken other measures to protect their grids and peoples from the catastrophic consequences of a protracted blackout. Most recently, under the leadership of Texas Governor Gregg Abbott and State Senator Bob Hall, a “Texas Grid Security Summit” convened in Austin (April 28-29). The summit responded to a petition (dated November 2, 2015) from 23 members of the Texas delegation to the U.S. Congress urging Governor Abbott to protect the Texas grid from EMP and other threats. The congressional letter from Washington appealing to Governor Abbot to protect the Texas electric grid reads in part: “We encourage you to take a leading role on an issue of critical importance to our constituents and to our state: the vulnerability of our electric grid and the potential loss of power for millions of American families and businesses…Physical disruptions to the infrastructure, space weather events, cyber-attacks, and electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) are the most significant and pressing threats to our electric grid. It is imperative that we make the grid resilient to all such hazards.” Ironic, and alarming, that the 23 Members of Congress who signed the above letter know that Washington is so broken that they hope Governor Abbott can protect the Texas electric grid and save their home state. The EMP Commission recommended that the national grid be “islanded” – individual states can protect transformers, generators, and control systems within their borders so their “lights will stay on” even if the rest of the nation goes into blackout. Can the states compensate for the incompetence and lethargy of Washington, and act in time? When the states must “build walls” against EMP attack by the new barbarians, does it portend the advent of a New Dark Ages? Or is it an opportunity to reform federalism, so that governance is again mostly by the states, as was intended by the Founders? Decline of the West Even if nations, states, and cities of the West “build walls” to protect their electric grids and other critical infrastructures from EMP and cyber attacks by the new barbarians, it may be too late to avert a New Dark Ages. Like the barbarians of old who conquered a Roman Empire become militarily weak, the new barbarians have been given a golden opportunity by NATO’s military weakness to crush the Free World through brute force. Consider, for example, the obsolescence of the U.S. nuclear deterrent – the ultimate security guarantee for the United States and its allies. Nuclear arms dominate the military balance not only because they are the most destructive weapons, but because they are also the most powerful politically and psychologically and shape the mental geography of international relations, casting a shadow of influence over war and peace and even the daily lives of nations. Indeed, nuclear dominance makes possible conventional military aggression without resort to nuclear arms, and makes possible victory without war -through nuclear blackmail and intimidation. Accordingly, the rapid modernization and deployment by Russia and China of new generations of advanced nuclear weapons and missiles that have no counterpart in the West, is alarming. The U.S. nuclear deterrent is decades old, decreasingly credible, and there are no near-term prospects of correcting the growing strategic imbalance between East and West in modernity and technological advancement of nuclear weapons: –The U.S. B-21 next-generation strategic bomber, designed to replace the venerable B-2 whose stealthiness is fast disappearing against new Russian and Chinese radar technologies, will not see Initial Operating Capability (IOC) until, at the earliest, 2020. –U.S. ballistic missile submarines, the survivable backbone of the U.S. nuclear deterrent, during the Cold War used to number 41, have been reduced to 14 aged Ohios, and will be further reduced to 12 Ohio Replacement Program submarines scheduled for IOC in 2031. –U.S. Minuteman ICBMs, now decades old and long past their original service life, may be replaced by a new ICBM after 2030, although the Obama administration and Secretary of Defense Ash Carter oppose any new ICBM program. Thus, a gaping window of vulnerability yawns open in the technological nuclear balance that has no prospects of being closed for many years. What might Russia, China, North Korea, or Iran do with this opportunity? In the worst case, merely about 50 ICBMs like Russia’s SS-18 could make a disarming surprise attack, delivering 500 highly accurate warheads against the U.S. nuclear deterrent’s 450 Minuteman silos, 3 strategic bomber bases, 2 ports where half the ballistic missile submarine fleet (7 boats) is normally anchored, and key command and control centers. Would the 7 Ohios at sea survive the scores of Russian attack submarines hunting them? Would any surviving Ohios be able to receive an Emergency Action Message through a Russian Super-EMP attack? If any Ohios survive and can execute a ragged, uncoordinated retaliatory strike against some Russian missile silos (many empty) and bomber bases (all vacated), what would then be the fate of U.S. cities? Today, even North Korea, with its 6 KN-08 ICBMs, could potentially destroy the 3 U.S. strategic bomber bases, 2 Ohio submarine ports, and make an EMP attack that could cripple the U.S. nuclear deterrent and civil society. The waning credibility of the U.S. nuclear deterrent may account for why Russia, China, and North Korea engage in so much nuclear saber rattling. Sometimes barking dogs do bite. The New Barbarian Hordes The balance of conventional military power between East and West is also alarming. If Ukraine is annexed or dominated by Moscow, Russia will again directly confront NATO in central Europe. New NATO members Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Poland are no match for Russia. Nor are traditional NATO members in Western Europe what they were during the Cold War. They are no match for the modernized Russian Army. Collectively, the armed forces of NATO’s 27 members (excluding the United States) seem impressive at about 1.7 million active duty, although this is only about half their Cold War strength of 3.3 million. European NATO (including Turkey) collectively has 6,000 tanks and 2,000 fighter aircraft among 27 member nations. However, NATO’s European members have very little power projection capability – their armed forces are largely incapable of traveling far beyond their national territories. Only the United Kingdom has significant power projection, estimated capable of sending 30,000 troops overseas. France, after the U.K. estimated to have the greatest power projection capabilities in Europe, had great difficulty projecting even a small force numbering 2,000 Foreign Legionnaires to Mali in January 2013. France needed help with aerial refueling and logistical support from the U.S., Canada, and Britain. When European NATO led the bombing campaign against Libya in March 2011, they quickly exhausted their ammunition. They needed resupply from the United States. European NATO was hard pressed to conduct military operations against Libya – a helpless adversary. Russian armed forces comprise 1.4 million active duty troops, 3,300 modern main battle tanks (18,000 more tanks in reserve), and 2,750 military aircraft. Russian power projection is superior to European NATO’s capabilities to reinforce Eastern Europe. In September 2013, Russia’s exercise ZAPAD-13 (“WEST-13”) simulated an invasion of Poland and the Baltic states, projecting in a few days to NATO’s frontline 22,000 troops (more than the collective active duty forces of the Baltics.) NATO responded in November 2013 with STEADFAST-JAZZ deploying 6,000 troops (fewer than one-third Russia’s ZAPAD-13 deployment) to Poland and the Baltics to simulate repelling a “hypothetical” invader. Earlier, in July 2013, Russia’s largest military exercise since the Cold War projected 160,000 troops and 1,000 tanks across the vastness of Siberia. One Russian “exercise,” really a threatened invasion, in a few days deployed 150,000 soldiers to Ukraine’s border, more than the 90,000 active duty personnel in Ukraine’s entire armed forces. Arrayed opposite Russia in NATO’s frontline are the Baltic states (Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia) with about 20,000 active duty in their collective armed forces, no main battle tanks, and one fighter aircraft. If the Cold War returns to Europe, the other NATO frontline states are in little better shape than the Baltics. Among the frontline states Poland is the strongest, with 120,000 active duty and 991 tanks. Collectively, all the East European NATO state (Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Romania) have 214 fighter aircraft. Overshadowing all these numbers, Russia enjoys a virtual monopoly in tactical nuclear weapons, having an estimated 3,000-8,000. Unlike the Cold War, when NATO planned to fight defensively in Germany, today’s plans require rescuing Eastern Europe. NATO would have to project power eastward, through territory where NATO has never exercised large-scale operations. NATO would have to fight a meeting engagement, or offensive operations against an entrenched Russian Army that fought over and exercised on East European terrain during World War II and the Cold War. Never during the Cold War did Moscow enjoy such an advantage against NATO’s frontline states in conventional and nuclear forces as it does today. Space will not permit analysis of the conventional military balance between China and the United States. Suffice it to say that the most likely locations for crisis and war are the South China Sea and the Koreas, where China’s military capabilities are strongest and most prepared against a weakening U.S. military that must project power across the Pacific. The New Doomsday Average citizens of the West know little or nothing of EMP or the nuclear and conventional military balance of power. But majorities in the United States and NATO nations feel deeply insecure, know from TV and newspaper headlines that the West is in deep trouble, know in their bones that the world order once so favourable to Western Civilization, is imperiled. Millions in the U.S. and the West are survivalists or “preppers” and there are even popular TV shows dedicated to them. Elites in the West should heed the wisdom of their people, whose inchoate anxieties about an impending doomsday are probably more to be trusted than the “experts” whose foreign and defense policies have brought the West to the brink of catastrophe. Democracy, after all, is premised on trusting in the collective wisdom of the people. Interestingly, anxieties over a modern doomsday may account for controversy among historians over whether or not Medieval Christendom panicked over an impending Apocalypse in 1000 AD. Medievalist Richard Landes, who makes a compelling case that the 1000 AD Apocalypse was feared, writes, “There may even be a correlation between wishing to minimize present-day apocalyptic concerns and denying any reality to earlier ones.” Western elites reject as “politically incorrect” such scholarship as Samuel Huntington’s The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order (1996), preferring to believe, as an article of secular humanist faith, that all differences are negotiable, and if they are not it is the fault of Western imperialism and racism. Yet apocalyptic conquest and collapse of civilization is a recurrent theme in history, known not only to historians, but to anyone who lived through the 20th Century. The foundational facts and myths of Western Civilization from both its Christian and Classical traditions from ancient Greece and Rome teach that the civilized and the good must be defended. Otherwise, as Roman historian Tacitus writes, “Vae victus (Woe to the vanquished).” The Bible, the cornerstone of Western Civilization, is replete with histories and legends about civilizational doomsday. Millions of the religious are so fearful about the course of current events, they believe Mankind is in the “end times” and faces The Bible’s predicted Apocalypse, that some historians interpret as inspired by the Roman destruction of Jerusalem and diaspora of Jewish civilization in 70 AD. Another basic book of Western Civilization, little read today, is the Homeric epic from the Greek Dark Ages about the conquest of Troy, whose refugees supposedly founded Rome, according to Virgil’s Aeneid. Virgil describes with poetic imagery the advance of the enemy upon doomed Troy, eliciting feelings of dread recognizable to Everyman today fearful of tyranny and terrorism pounding at the gates of the West: Just at the outer doors of the vestibule Sprang Pyrrhus, all in bronze and glittering, As a serpent hidden swollen underground By a cold winter, writhes into the light, On vile grass fed, his old skin cast away, Renewed and glossy, rolling slippery coils, With lifted underbelly rearing sunward And triple tongue a-flicker. Surely recognizable too, twenty centuries after Virgil wrote, is the violent overthrow of Trojan civilization, symbolized by the murder of King Priam, by means all too familiar in our times — decapitation: To the altar step itself he dragged him trembling, Slipping in the pooled blood of his son, And took him by the hair with his left hand. The sword flashed in his right; up to the hilt He thrust it in his body. That was the end Of Priam’s age, the doom that took him off, With Troy in flames before his eyes, his towers Headlong fallen–he that in other days Had ruled in pride so many lands and peoples, The power of Asia. On the distant shore The vast trunk lies headless without a name. The West, if it is to avoid King Priam’s fate, needs a new Charlemagne.

How EmailGate Weakened America’s National Security

It’s safe to say that Moscow, Beijing and Tehran know a lot more about Hillary Clinton than the American public does

By John R. Schindler • 06/01/16 11:53am

Last week’s devastating report by the State Department Inspector General has made it plain to all who wish to see that Hillary Clinton, as secretary of state, violated numerous regulations pertaining to federal records and cybersecurity, then lied effusively about it to the public. That State IG assessment has left Clinton’s defenders without much of a leg to stand on if they want an honest, fact-based defense of her actions in EmailGate. Therefore, Team Clinton has resorted to their customary deceptions and dissimulations, buttressed by legalisms designed to obscure truths rather than reveal them. Here we have Lanny Davis, a top Clinton consigliere for more than two decades, explaining how Hillary is innocent of any wrongdoing, citing five allegedly “indisputable” facts. Then follows the customary litany, cited by her defenders whenever EmailGate comes up. This was legal. Besides, everybody does it. Plus nothing was “labeled” classified at the time it appeared in Ms. Clinton’s private email. To those acquainted with Clintonspeak, the only thing missing is a discussion of the meaning of “is.” Mr. Davis’ most interesting claim is his assertion that “there is no evidence that Clinton’s private server was ever successfully hacked… all the dire and dark warnings from partisan Republicans about the secretary of state risking the nation’s security by using a private server are, in fact, all speculation—based on no facts whatsoever.” This is deception of a special kind. In the first place, why has the Romanian hacker Guccifer pleaded guilty to hacking into Hillary’s server if he did not, in fact, do so? Moreover, the FBI has been in possession of said server for months, and they have uncovered several successful hacking efforts into it when it resided in an upstairs bathroom of the Clinton residence in Chappaqua, New York. “We know it was hacked numerous times, it’s that simple,” explained a senior U.S. counterintelligence official who is privy some of the FBI’s findings. “If I were Vladimir Putin I’d fire the head of the SVR [Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service] if he didn’t get a good look at Hillary’s emails when they were sitting in plain sight online,” he added with a laugh. Here, Mr. Davis is hiding behind the fact that the FBI has not yet released the findings of its investigation into EmailGate to the public. Until they do, there is indeed “no evidence” of foreign intelligence services accessing Ms. Clinton’s emails—since the FBI considers that evidence classified until it is deemed fit to be publicly released. This is how the classification rules that Hillary and her staff so assiduously ignored actually work. In their customary fashion, Team Clinton is pushing back with a touch of cheek. Ms. Clinton now plans a serious effort to sell herself as the better national security candidate than Donald Trump, based on her tenure of secretary of state. While there is no denying Mr. Trump is a national security neophyte who seems unacquainted with some of the basic lingo of that field, he is not under FBI investigation for espionage and political corruption.

Police Now Using “Pre-Crime” Algorithm To Target and Label Innocent Citizens as Criminals

By John Vibes

It was recently reported that the Chicago Police Department has implemented an Orwellian new program that targets innocent citizens based on indicators that they might be a person who has the potential to carry out a crime. Similar to dystopian films like Minority Report, a complex computer algorithm will track and catalog every citizen in the city, and use private data about each person to determine whether or not they could be a potential criminal. Once an innocent civilian has been labeled as a threat, they are then notified that they have been marked as a potential criminal and that they are now under police surveillance. This disturbing program has quietly been in place for over three years, and in that time, government agents have visited the homes of more than 1,300 innocent people who had high numbers on the list, to inform them that they are now regarded as potential criminals. According to the New York Times, Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson says that officials this year are stepping up those visits, with at least 1,000 more people. “We are targeting the correct individuals. We just need our judicial partners and our state legislators to hold these people accountable,” Johnson insisted. However, activists and advocates of civil liberties are not convinced. Karen Sheley, the director of the Police Practices Project of the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois, has pointed out that these innocent people are being flagged based on criteria that haven’t even been publicly established. “We’re concerned about this. There’s a database of citizens built on unknown factors, and there’s no way for people to challenge being on the list. How do you get on the list in the first place? We think it’s dangerous to single out somebody based on secret police information,” Sheley said. The current program is said to only target individuals who seem to show a high risk of being involved in a shooting. However, it is also important to point out that most laws, especially the bad ones, aren’t even focused on primary violations of life or property, but are instead focused on secondary actions that are seen as causal factors for these violations. It certainly should be illegal to harm people or their property, but most modern societies, in an apparent attempt to take preventative measures, have outlawed actions that could be a precursor to actual criminal activity. Some have referred to this concept as “pre-crime.” The idea is that people should be punished if they behave in a way that someone else is uncomfortable with, even if they have not harmed anyone. These types of laws would include: all drug laws, all gun laws, seatbelt laws, intellectual property and other victimless, non-violent crimes, where no person has been harmed, and no property has been stolen or damaged. Drugs are illegal, we are told, because their use could lead to actual crime. Guns are highly restricted because someone could get hurt. Seatbelt laws are imposed because someone could get hurt. And, intellectual property is imposed because someone may lose their investment. The arguments in favor of these laws are all overblown or flat out wrong, but the fear of future crime is always used to justify bad laws that have no basis in justice or restitution. Our entire justice system is made up of this nonsense, which persecutes people who have not hurt anyone or anything because their actions apparently indicate that they will do something harmful in the future. To begin to target individuals before they have even done anything is taking this idea of pre-crime a step further, ushering in a new age of Orwellian surveillance.

General Mills Recalls 10 Million Pounds of Flour over E. Coli Outbreak

by Anna Scanlon Posted on June 1, 2016

General Mills has recalled an estimated 10 million pounds of flour over fears that they contain the E. coli virus. Over 38 people have been stricken with the virus in over 20 states, and General Mills has linked it to their flour. This E. coli outbreak is caused by the strain O121, which causes cramps, bloody diarrhea, vomiting and can potentially lead to a life-threatening situation. The Centers for Disease Control noted that most people who became ill with this particular strain recall baking something homemade prior to becoming ill. Several in this group noted that they have used the General Mills brand of flour. It was also noted that many of those who presented symptoms of E. coli had also eaten raw dough or batter while making their homemade treats, which General Mills specifically advises against. General Mills also notes that older and very young individuals, and those with compromised immune systems are most at risk for developing E. coli. The particular populations should take special precautions not to consume raw dough or batter and to wash their hands thoroughly after touching flour.

The company stated: “While have not found any presence of E. coli O121 in any General Mills flour products or in the flour manufacturing facility, and we have not been contacted directly by any consumer reporting confirmed illnesses related to these products, we want to take an active part in helping to prevent food borne illnesses.” General Mills has urged anyone who thinks they may have E. coli to contact their doctor. If they are diagnosed, they are asked to report to their local health authority. Flours being recalled include:

13.5 ounce Gold Medal Wondra

2 pound Gold Medal All Purpose Flour

5 pound Gold Medal Unbleached Flour

5 pound Signature Kitchens All Purpose Flour Enriched Bleached

5 pound Signature Kitchens Unbleached Flour All Purpose Enriched

2 pound Gold Medal Self Rising Flour

Individuals engaging in cooking projects should be aware that baking or cooking items with flour in them will automatically destroy any bacteria. Consumers should also take care to wash off any utensils or cooking items that come into contact with flour thoroughly after use.

TV: “Truly unsettling” discovery at Fukushima… problem “far greater than previously thought” — Boss reveals 600 tons of fuel melted, can’t find it — Top Official: “Nobody really knows where fuel is”… We may never be able to get it and just leave wherever — “Uncontrollable fission” is continuing under site (VIDEO)

Published: June 2nd, 2016 at 1:18 am ET By ENENews

ABC Australia, May 24, 2016 (emphasis added): [ABC's Mark Willacy] has been invited on a tour of [Fukushima Daiichi]… What Willacy discovers is truly unsettling… retrieving hundreds of tonnes of melted nuclear fuel turns out to be far greater than previously thought.

ABC Australia transcript excerpts, May 24, 2016:

Willacy: Tonight we go on a journey into the heart of this ongoing crisis… and we reveal the frightening enormity of the clean-up… and how dangerous it still is. Gregory Jaczko, former Chairman of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission: This really is unchartered territory. Nobody really knows where the fuel is… There’s no playbook – they’re making this up as they go along. Willacy: The man in charge of decontaminating and decommissioning the Fukushima plant, Naohiro Masuda. Has anything like this ever been attempted before? Masuda: There has never been an accident at a nuclear plant like the one at Fukushima where three reactors had meltdowns. We are currently working on a timetable to decommission the reactors over the next 30 to 40 years. Naoto Kan, Former Prime Minister: I think it will take longer… This is a major accident, which has never happened anywhere in the world… 40 years is an optimistic view. Willacy: We are heading to the buildings housing the melted reactors… Tepco is worried about possible nuclear terrorism, and won’t allow us to film certain security sites. Masuda: This is a job we’ve never done and there is no textbook. Willacy: [At Reactor 3 there was an] explosion right after the nuclear fuel melted… What happened inside [Reactor 2] no-one really knows… [Reactor 1] is where probably the worst meltdown occurred. They don’t know where the nuclear fuel is. Masuda: We haven’t actually seen where the melted fuel fell, so it’s important to find it as soon as possible. Willacy: For the first time, Foreign Correspondent can reveal just how vast the amount of melted nuclear fuel is, the three molten blobs that lie somewhere deep within each of these buildings. Masuda: It’s estimated that 200 tonnes of debris lies within each unit… 600 tonnes of melted debris fuel and a mixture of concrete and other metals are likely to be here. Willacy: The most daunting task, one the nuclear industry has never faced, is getting the melted fuel out. TEPCO admits the technology it needs hasn’t been invented. Jaczko: It may be possible that we’re never able to remove the fuel. You may just wind up having to leave it there and somehow entomb it as it is. I mean that’s certainly a possibility. There is no playbook, they’re making this up as they go along. Kan: If all the reactors had had a meltdown, there was a risk that half or all of Japan could have been destroyed… the accident took us to the brink of destruction. Jaczko: You have to now accept that in all nuclear power plants… there’s a chance you can have this kind of a very catastrophic accident… that’s the reality of nuclear power. ABC Australia, May 24, 2016: Fukushima clean-up chief still hunting for 600 tonnes of melted radioactive fuel… [TEPCO] has revealed that 600 tonnes of reactor fuel melted during the disaster, and that the exact location of the highly radioactive blobs remains a mystery… [C]hief of decommissioning at Fukushima, Naohiro Masuda, said the company hoped to… begin removing it from 2021… “But unfortunately, we don’t know exactly where (the fuel) is” [said Masuda]. [Gregory Jaczko, Chairman of the US NRC] at the time of the meltdowns at Fukushima doubts the fuel can be retrieved… “Nobody really knows where the fuel is… It may be possible that we’re never able to remove the fuel. You may just have to wind up leaving it there and somehow entomb it as it is.”… For the first time, TEPCO has revealed just how much of the mostly uranium fuel melted down… [Masuda said] “about 600 tonnes of melted debris fuel and a mixture of concrete and other metals are likely to be there.” RT, May 24, 2016: 600 tons of melted radioactive Fukushima fuel still not found, clean-up chief reveals… [The fuel] burnt through the respective reactor pressure vessels, concentrating somewhere on the lower levels of the station… fuel from Reactor 1 poured out completely… the exact location of the highly radioactive “runaway” fuel remains mystery for TEPCO. The absolutely uncontrollable fission of the melted nuclear fuel assemblies continue somewhere under the remains of the station… [TEPCO's] plan for Fukushima nuclear power plant implies a 30-40 year period… Yet experts doubt the present state of technology is sufficient to deal with the unprecedented technical task.

Frantic volcanic activity seen across much of the globe

Mario Picazo Meteorologist, PhD

Wednesday, June 1, 2016, 6:06 - Several volcanos around the world were very active last week spewing enormous amounts of ash and gas into the atmosphere and forcing thousands of people to leave their homes. But it´s not all just about volcanic activity, there has also been quite a bit of earthquake activity along some the volcano impacted areas, especially in the Pacific Ring of Fire. During the last 10 days close to 40 volcanos worldwide have been showing signs of activity and great deal of them, 34, are located along the very active Ring Fire. Mount Sinabung is just one of the 130 volcanoes that extend along the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. Considering that in the 20th century the average number of volcanic eruptions was 35 per year, what we are seeing just this week is above last century´s average for an entire year. This increasing volcanic activity around the the Ring of Fire is not new, the region is home to 452 volcanoes, 75% of all earth's, and geologists have been warning that this 25,000 mile stretch of active and dormant volcanoes is becoming more unstable in recent years. Satelite image of Mt Sinabung, the most active volcano in Indonesia and one of the most active in the world. (source : Google maps) Sinabung, the deadliest eruption of the week During the weekend of May 21 and 22, the northern skies of the Indonesian island of Sumatra were covered with a thick black cloud of ash and gases resulting from the eruption of Mount Sinabung, Indonesia's most active volcano. Several cities in the area were evacuated and in the village of Gembar, seven people lost their lives, all of them farmers, after inhaling deadly gases. Sinabung is one of the many active volcanoes in the island, and after showing signs of activity back in early November of 2014, many residents in the area were forced to relocate in other villages of northern Sumatra located at a safer distance from the volcano. Mount Sinabung continued to show signs of activity late last week, and was still on the highest alert level with potential for more eruptions. Costa Rica, Mexico, Italy also affected by volcano eruptions While Sinabung was doing its thing in Indonesia, many other volcanos around the world were showing signs of activity this week. One of the most active has been Turrialba in Costa Rica. The small Central America country has a dozen active volcanoes and it is located close to the capital, San Jose. Early last week, a prolonged and violent eruption dropped a significant amount of ash over the city and nearby towns, forcing many people to wear masks and in some cases evacuate entire neighborhoods. Other relevant volcanos that have shown activity this week are Mexico's Popocatépetl and Mount Etna in Sicily, Italy. In the case of the Mexican volcano, the Monday (May 23) eruption was very fiery, with significant ash and lava flows along the foothills. Due to local weather conditions the large cloud of ash covered many areas of the nearby city of Puebla and forced the local airport to close. This recent eruption has been the first major one since the year 2000.

VIDEO: Muslims are setting Paris on fire, turning the city into a war zone again

Muslim savages turn Paris into war zone, again. Station Barbès-Rochechouart. France. Jul 19, 2014. Just another day in your neighborhood with your Muslim sub-animal neighbors. As usual, there is a complete media blackout about the events from the despicably dishonest, corrupted, traitorous, Sharia compliant mainstream media, while the equally corrupted, traitorous, Sharia compliant government officials (Anne Hidalgo, Mayor of Paris, François Hollande, President of France, and their counterparts David Cameron from U.K., Angela Merkel from Germany, etc.) continue flapping their oral sphincter and diarrhea of the mouth about Islamofauxbia and denying the existence of Islamic “no-go zones” or (called “zones urbaines sensibles” in French, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/world …) while in reality, there are now 751 of those, and counting, keeping the true citizens in the dark until the very last minutes their heads are on the chopping blocks while the corrupted traitors themselves prepared for their own sound exits with stuffed coffers of bribed petrodollars from the Islamofascists Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, Yemen, etc., just like the 9-11 terrorists’ taqiyya telling airline passengers that they would be ok and alive as long as they conform to the terrorists’ orders (we all know how that ended), or like ISIS’s taqiyya telling the victims in orange jumpsuits that they would be alive, so that they would appear calm on camera until the minutes their heads are sawed off. The same traitors dhimmis morons (David Cameron) engages in endless, meaningless debates condemning truth sayers like Donald Trump, Geert Wilders and blocking their entries into U.K while their countries are being overrun by Muslim sub-animals flying ISIS flags, with cities after cities falling into Muzzy hands (London-istan now with Muslim terrorist as mayor). There would likely be bloodbath and civil wars, if the non-Muslim citizens refuse to pay jizya (Islamic tax that imposed on non-Muslims for the right to live under Sharia compliant Muslim society) and want to live. Whether that would happen now when the population of Muslim sub-animals in most Western societies are still in single digit, or later when it becomes much greater, the choice is clear. “Je suis Charlie”, “Je suis Paris”, “Je suis Brussels”, “Je suis London”, “Je suis Madrid”, soon to be “Je suis Berlin”, “Je suis Washington D.C.”, etc. while the bought out, corrupted dhimmis announced that climate change was the most pressing and serious national security threat. Vote Trump!

Texas floods: Enough rain fell in May to cover entire state 8 inches deep

By Michael Martinez and Ben Brumfield, CNN Updated 8:47 PM ET, Sun May 31, 2015

(CNN) So much rain has fallen this May on flood-ravaged Texas that it could cover the entire state with 8 inches of water, meteorologists say. Every drop of rain these days is a drop too many in much of Texas, where 22 people have died and President Barack Obama has declared a major disaster. Over the weekend, a University of Houston student saw an object in Brays Bayou and reported it to campus police, who contacted Houston authorities, according to Houston Police Department Sgt. J.T. Parker. Police found a male body, and a preliminary investigation suggests the death is related to flooding, said Parker. Elsewhere near Houston, police evacuated residents from 20 homes in the suburb of Rosenberg on Saturday. Residents in at least 14 homes more were deciding whether to leave as the Brazos River threatened to rise, Lt. William Henry said. Several rivers in Texas were at flood stage at 108 locations, the National Weather Service said Saturday, but on Sunday the rain seemed to have let up in the area, according to the service. CNN affiliate KPRC reported that some 600 cattle were trapped by high waters in the Trinity River. Cowboys came to their aid, steering the larger cattle to a rail yard, and loading calves onto air boats, KPRC said. Torrential rains have already given Texas the wettest month on record, according to Texas A&M climatologists. And extreme river and creek flooding has broken many records and swept away hundreds of homes. In all, 37.3 trillion gallons of water have fallen over the state of Texas in May, the National Weather Service said. While a period of dry weather was expected Sunday in Texas, showers and thunderstorms hit some areas in the Northeast and Southeast on Sunday. Elsewhere, heavy rain soaked Atlanta Sunday afternoon, flooding some metro areas of the city.

France floods claim three more lives as massive mop-up begins

By Benjamin Marcus and Angela Dewan, CNN Updated 8:19 AM ET, Sat June 4, 2016

Paris (CNN) Parisians let out a cautious sigh of relief Saturday as they watched water levels in the Seine River finally begin to drop following days of miserable flooding. But the rest of the country was not so lucky, with three new deaths reported. The Seine, which runs through the city, burst it banks after days of heavy rains, causing chaos in the city. Some public transportation services and riverside businesses were shut down, while the world-famous Louvre museum scrambled to move 150,000 pieces of art to higher ground in a painstaking operation, closing its doors for a second day Saturday. The Seine in Paris crested at 6.1 meters (20 feet) above its usual levels early Saturday, the environment ministry reported, and the floods are slowly receding. etc. and the news story continues..

The Battle Of Man

by Hal Lindsey

In 1972, I released a book called, Satan is Alive and Well on Planet Earth. That was a year after William Peter Blatty’s novel called The Exorcist, and a year before the film version of that book. Satan is Alive and Well sold more than 8 million copies. The Exorcist film, adjusted for inflation, is the 9th highest grossing movie of all time. In those years, interest in Satan was at a peak — partly because of a smalltime hoodlum, turned cult leader, turned mass killer named Charles Manson. With Manson, the world caught a real glimpse of the face of evil. People realized that his ability to turn young people into monsters was something more than crime as usual. Since then, interest in Satan has ebbed and flowed many times. Now, it’s building again. Fictional versions of him regular appear in films, television shows, music, and video games. For a society that can’t get enough of anti-heroes, the devil is the ultimate bad boy. But he’s also the ultimate loser. Think of his position. He’s locked in a battle with the omnipotent Creator of all things. What strategy can he possibly employ in such a battle? How can he who is merely mighty have any hope against the Almighty? God’s power knows no limits. Revelation 19:6 says, “For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth!” Limited power cannot defeat infinite power. But the devil is not stupid. He has a strategy. He has chosen to do what any military commander would — find a point of vulnerability and exploit it. You might think it impossible to find vulnerability in the all-powerful Lord of the universe. But you would be wrong. Love and Vulnerability Every romance novel, every teenager-in-love pop song, every he-done-me-wrong country ballad, every romantic film, every good old-fashioned love story… carries an underlying point. Love makes you vulnerable. Love, in all its forms, opens us up to the possibility of pain. The dearest friend can be a source of anguish. You feel the hurt as you read the words of King David. “Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me.” (Psalms 41:9) The greater and more intense the love, the more painful the betrayal. No one can break a parent’s heart quite like that parent’s son or daughter. At the same time, there’s no other pain quite like what a child feels when betrayed by parents. Romantic love almost guarantees sorrow and grief somewhere down the line. Maybe there will be a breakup, and that will hurt. But even if the couple stays together, and they marry for life, “Till death do us part” hangs over them. Husband and wife rarely die together. In almost all cases — one will go, one will stay, and there will be heartbreak. Although love makes us vulnerable to pain, it’s worth it. The most miserable people of all are those whose past pain makes them fearful of love. They build walls around their hearts. They put up guard towers to keep watch. They’re wrong to do that. But we can all understand it. Satan looked at God, searching for a point of vulnerability, and there it was. Love. God is love. God loves human beings in greater, deeper ways than we can even imagine. But what really made God’s love a point of vulnerability was that He also gave humans the ability to love. By definition, that includes the power of choice. Automatons cannot love because real love requires a choice. Humans can love… or not. That’s why Satan chose mankind as the battlefield in his war with God. Knowing that God is completely pure and utterly holy, he thought he had won the Battle of Man when he persuaded Adam and Eve to sin. Their action unleashed the virus of sin into the world, infecting all of humanity from that time until now. Ephesians 5:5 says, “No immoral or impure person… has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.” With Satan’s victory in the Garden of Eden, every human being would be impure. How vulnerable did God’s love make Him? Picture Jesus hanging on a cross, receiving in Himself God’s justice for our sin. Consider the pain — physical and spiritual. It’s hard to imagine a more vulnerable figure. What held Him there? Soldiers? Nails? Those things couldn’t hold Him to the cross in a billion years! Love held Him there. Love for you, and love for me. Love made Him that vulnerable. Maybe your heart is broken. Maybe your love for a child, parent, friend, or spouse, made you vulnerable to a deeper hurt than you know how to express. I have a suggestion for you. Don’t go through it alone. In Philippians 3:10, the Apostle Paul put his deepest heart cry into words. “That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings.” “The fellowship of His sufferings” is not an easy place. But you will find Him there in richer, deeper more beautiful ways than you ever thought possible. C. S. Lewis asked, “Why love, if losing hurts so much?” The Christian can answer by citing no less of an authority than Jesus Himself. We are to love God and to love each other. Love is the greatest commandment, (Matthew 22:36-40), our highest purpose, and the mark of a Christian. (John 13:35) God also chose love. He chose to love us and be vulnerable to the pain of our rejection. And in that love, He never wavered. Satan saw it as a point of attack. But God used the love and resulting pain to defeat Satan, and redeem mankind. That is our example.

PM: We'll never return to a torn, divided Jerusalem

At ceremony marking 49th year since the city's unification Netanyahu states that placing Israeli flag above Western Wall was 2nd most important moment after declaration of independence; President Rivlin: Prophetic vision became reality, Jerusalem returned to its children.

Yael Freidson Published: 06.05.16, 22:06 / Israel News

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Jerusalem will never be redivided in a ceremony marking 49 years since the unification of Jerusalem on Sunday. "49 years ago, Jerusalem was released from its shackles. We will not return to a reality whereby the city is torn, divided, and wounded," Netanyahu said. President Reuven Rivlin also spoke at the ceremony, and called on the government not to empty the city of its symbols, touching upon the issue whereby government ministries are moving out of Jerusalem. The ceremony took place on Mt. Herzl and was attended by IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, Police Comissioner Roni Alsheikh, and various government ministers and mayors. The ceremony began with torches being lit by various representatives of the IDF regional commands to remember those who fell trying to liberate the city from the Jordanians. Netanyahu also shared his memories of Jerusalem and said that the current, magical reality was at one time very different. "It was a reality of huge concrete walls with snipers on top, no mans lands and minefields," Netanyahu said. He continued saying, "The veterans here remember what the soldiers wrote on the military vehicles – 'there will not be a second Auschwitz, and there will not be a second Masada.' I remember the feeling of threatening danger and adrenaline and the spirit of our fighters, which thanks to them, our situation changed from one side to the other. This was proven once again – that the only way to guarantee our existence is our presence and ability to defend ourselves and to protect the security of the state of Israel." Netanyahu, who is flying on to Moscow on Monday, said that "placing the Israeli flag on the Western Wall was the second most important moment after the declaration of the State of Israel. This spiritual ascendance encompassed the entire nation, both in Israel and in the Diaspora. It was at that moment that a national consciousness was launched amongst Jews in the former Soviet Union." "Tomorrow, I'm flying to Moscow to mark 25 years of relations between Russia and Israel. But on the eve of the Six Day War, the armies which surrounded us were all armed and funded by the USSR. Russia is a global power, and our relations are getting stronger. The strengthening of this relationship strengthens our national security and prevents unnecessary friction on our northern border." The prime minister also referred to the peace process and said that nobody would force upon Israel international dictates. "Peace is achieved through direct and free negotiations between the parties. We've seen it with peace with Egypt and Jordan. It was not achieved by international dictates. In the period after the Six Day War, when the military campaign was over, the political campaign began," said Netanyahu. "The same players in the international arena who did not lift a finger to help us when the threat of destruction hovered over us were those who tried to impose a political settlement on us. It did not work then and will not work today. Any international dictate hardens the Palestinians’ positions. Anyone who denies our connection to Jerusalem, transforms the Temple Mount into a center of religious incitement, who does not renounce terrorism - still has a long way to peace. " President Rivlin said at the ceremony: "Our eyes were raised towards you Jerusalem. 49 years ago our prayers were answered. The city opened its closed heart to her lovers who were knocking at her gates. Prophetic vision became reality. Jerusalem returned to its children. Here, on this heroic hill, one of the symbols of the heroism of the State of Israel , a blood-soaked battle took place in which more than 180 fighters, within whom the fire of Jerusalem burned, were killed… We sacrificed ourselves for Jerusalem because we knew that one must insist when it comes to her.” Rivlin also spoke about the planned move of the Public Broadcasting Authority from Jerusalem and expressed his joy that the Prime Minister decided to stop the process. "I hope this is so. This is because it is not possible that 80 years to the day after the first Hebrew broadcast, from the “Voice of Jerusalem” radio station, public broadcasting from Jerusalem will cease, "said the president. "One does not give up on symbols. We must not empty Jerusalem of its symbols. Jerusalem is not just a strip of land, it is a spiritual legacy, the spirit of the Jewish people.”

Gov. Scott declares state of emergency as Tropical Storm Colin approaches Florida

By Stephanie Allen Stephanie Allen Contact ReporterStaff Writer

Gov. Rick Scott has declared a state of emergency for 34 counties, including most of Central Florida, as Tropical Storm Colin heads toward the state. As of 11 a.m., the storm had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph extending up to 230 miles out from the center, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami. It was located about 315 miles southwest of Tampa and moving northeast-northeast at about 14 mph. Forecasters expect Colin to make landfall this evening near the Big Bend and Panhandle area. It should then move across North Florida toward Jacksonville and into southeastern Georgia by Tuesday morning. Colin isn't expected to directly hit Central Florida, but forecasters say the outer bands will bring heavy rain, wind gusts and a moderate risk of tornadoes. Most of Central Florida is under a tropical storm warning. The warning was first issued for both of Florida's coasts, including Flagler, Volusia and Brevard counties. It was expanded this morning to include Lake, Orange and Seminole counties. As of about 11 a.m., Osceola County wasn't included. All of Central Florida is also under a flood advisory until Tuesday morning. Forecasters say the area should see rain most of today, with the heaviest starting later this afternoon. 'Protect property with sandbags' Rain totals could top 4 inches in some parts, said Matt Bragaw, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Melbourne. Heavy rain, localized flooding and wind gusts up to 40 mph will be the primary threats, Bragaw said. There is also a slight risk for tornadoes, especially along the Interstate 4 corridor, according to the Weather Service. "If you live in a low-lying area, flooding will be a potential threat," Bragaw said. "You may want to take steps to protect property with sandbags." Colin was originally expected to make landfall late Monday or early Tuesday, but picked up speed overnight as it strengthened. Forecasters say Central Florida should start feeling the storms effects by 7 p.m. Tornadoes possible Storm force winds of 39 mph up to 57 mph are expected to move into the Orlando-area after sunset and continue through early Tuesday morning, when Colin moves off Georgia's coast. Forecasters are warning residents to be alert and ready tonight, as most of the threats will come while people are sleeping. "Tornadoes will be possible with any passing squall after sunset," Bragaw said. "Be ready to take quick action, especially if you live in a mobile home or a building that is particularly vulnerable to damaging winds." Seminole County emergency officials are monitoring river and lake levels in the Little Wekiva River Basin, which includes the communities of Altamonte Springs, Longwood, Heathrow and neighborhoods along Markham Wood Road. That area is prone to flooding during periods of heavy rain. Sandbags in Central Florida Officials have opened a sandbag fill site at 4170 U.S. Highway 17-92 for residents concerned about flooding. Seminole also has opened its Emergency Operations Center at the Sheriff's Office, at 100 Bush Boulevard, in Sanford, to monitor the storm. Lake County is also handing out sandbags at four fire stations today from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Residents should bring their own shovels. The sites are: 23023 State Road 40, Astor 42700 State Road 19, Altoona 2505 Spring Lake Road, Fruitland Park 6234 County Road 561, Clermont The City of Clermont will be handing out sandbags at 400 12th St. Several fill sites are open this morning in Brevard County, including at 2955 Pluckebaum Road in Cocoa and at 124 Industrial Park Ave. in New Smyrna Beach. Osceola County handed out more than 7,200 sandbags at seven locations on Sunday. Officials do not plan to continue that today. Orange County officials said they don't plan on opening any sandbag sites today, either. Preparation is key Orlando residents, though, can fill bags at 1010 S. Woods Ave. City Officials said the emergency operations center is monitoring the storm. Officials are warning all Central Florida residents to have their emergency plans and kits ready. They're also telling people to keep cellphones charged and handy, and to pay attention to changing road conditions. The Florida Highway Patrol is reminding drivers to keep their headlights on in the rain and to increase the distance between vehicles. Officials at the Orlando International Airport are monitoring the storm, but haven't canceled any flights. SunRail trains are running on time this morning. Staff writers David Harris, Christal Hayes and Martin E. Comas contributed to this report.

Obama's Ramadan statement includes veiled swipe at Trump

President Obama issued a statement Sunday evening extending best wishes to Muslims in the U.S. and around the world at the start of Islam's holy month of Ramadan. "For many, this month is an opportunity to focus on reflection and spiritual growth, forgiveness, patience and resilience, compassion for those less fortunate, and unity across communities," he said in the written statement. "Here in the United States, we are blessed with Muslim communities as diverse as our nation itself. There are those whose heritage can be traced back to the very beginning of our nation, as well as those who have only just arrived," he said, noting that their numbers include "doctors, lawyers, artists, teachers, scientists, community organizers, public servants, and military members." Then, in pointed contrast to Donald Trump's call to temporarily bar Muslims entering the United States, the president stated: "I stand firmly with Muslim American communities in rejection of the voices that seek to divide us or limit our religious freedoms or civil rights." "We will continue to welcome immigrants and refugees into our nation, including those who are Muslim," he added. Trump stood by his proposed ban in an interview Sunday with CBS News' "Face The Nation." "I'm not backing down. We have to do something. We have a problem in this country. We have a radical Islamic terrorism problem in this country, and, by the way, throughout the world, throughout the world. It's a problem. And it's a temporary ban. I'm not talking permanent. It's a temporary ban. We have to find out what is going on," said Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. In the White House statement, Mr. Obama also called attention to the plight of those displaced by the fighting in Syria and elsewhere: "Far too many Muslims may not be able to observe Ramadan from the comfort of their own homes this year or afford to celebrate Eid with their children. We must continue working together to alleviate the suffering of these individuals. This sacred time reminds us of our common obligations to uphold the dignity of every human being." As he has in past years, the president said he will invite a number of Muslim Americans to the White House for a celebration of Eid, the holiday marking the conclusion of Ramadan.

Kindergartners in WA state to be taught 'transgenderism'

Saturday, June 4, 2016 Michael F. Haverluck (OneNewsNow.com

Beginning as young as kindergarten, public school students in the state of Washington will be taught about “transgenderism” effective in the fall 2017 semester. New LGBT-friendly changes to the Evergreen State’s health education learning standards have been applied so that instruction on “gender expression” will be mandatory for teachers to administer in their classrooms to students, according to the Daily Caller. As early as the age of five, children enrolled in public schools will be taught to “Understand [that] there are many ways to express gender” —as part of the mandatory so-called “Self-Identify” sexual health curriculum. The educational materials will instruct students that gender is no longer determined by a person’s biological characteristics at birth. In fact, teachers will inform children through the curriculum that gender expression is now subjective to individual preference — and not limited to one’s actual sex. Such teachings about sexuality only begin in kindergarten, and then progress through students’ public school education to achieve higher levels of “understanding” about gender-confused individuals and others who practice sexually deviant behavior. Once a student is in the third grade, he or she will be required to “Explain that gender roles can vary considerably”now that dozens of gender types are recognized and promoted by the Obama administration, which worked to federaliz public school curricula through the implementation of its controversial Common Core. Further pushing the indoctrination demanded by the proliferating “LGBT rights” across America, public schools within the state will also force third graders to recognize and “Understand [the] importance of treating others with respect regarding [their] gender identity. ”Redefining the sexes Falling in line with President Barack Obama’s homosexual agenda that ultimately ended up with the United States Supreme Court redefining marriage to legalize same-sex “marriage” — so that the union is no longer solely recognized as being between one man and one woman — the state of Washington is redefining gender. According to the Northwest state’s health education glossary, gender is now officially defined as something that is based on a number of confusing contingencies. “Gender – A social construct based on emotional, behavioral, and cultural characteristics attached to a person’s assigned biological sex,” Washington’s newly revised glossary currently reads. In order to blur the lines even further between boys and girls — and between men and women — the public education system in the state seeks to make sure that students take a number of factors under consideration when attempting to pigeonhole another’s “true” or desired gender. The state’s health education learning standards attempts to do this though offering another definition. “Gender expression – The way someone outwardly expresses their gender,” the newly defined LGBT term reads. Even though changes have already been made to the state standards as public education officials are preparing to roll out the new curricula, a press release has not yet been issued by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) to alert concerned parents throughout the state of Washington about what their children will be subjected to within a year’s time. Admittedly, students’ objection to the new teachings — nor parental consent — were not addressed by the OSPI as it moves forward to implement its new sex education curriculum next year. When pressed, the OSPI conceded that it has not yet determined what would be done if students with sincerely held beliefs opposing the teachings object to completing assignments required under the new curriculum on sexuality.

Norway to Return Seized Children to Christian Parents After Int'l Pressure

By Anugrah Kumar , Christian Post Contributor June 5, 2016|10:05 am

The Bodnariu family.

The Christian parents of five children, who were seized by Norwegian child services seven months ago to "prevent" them from being "indoctrinated" with Christianity, will soon be reunited as the authorities have agreed to return the custody of the remaining four kids to the family. "We thank you all for your love, support, prayers, and active participation in the reunification of this family. May God richly bless you and repay you for all you have done to bring this family back together," says a statement from the Romanian Pentecostal parents, Marius and Ruth Bodnariu, who have been living in Norway for more than a decade, according to Romania Insider. Norway's Dagen newspaper reported that the decision to return the kids to their family is part of an agreement reached with the family. The five children were seized by the Norwegian Child Protective Services on Nov. 16 and 17 last year based on a teacher's concerns about how the kids were being raised by "radical" Christians who were "indoctrinating" their children. Parliamentarians, lawyers and Christian groups from many countries, including the United States, Romania and other part of Europe, raised serious concerns over the action of the Norwegian child services. In early April, only the youngest of the five children was returned to the parents. When the other children will be returned is not known. "It is very important for all of us to respect the privacy and uninterrupted intimacy of this family in the following period as the children resettle and reintegrate themselves in their natural family home and environment," the family's statement added. On Thursday, Romanian parliamentarian Ben Oni Ardelean wrote in a Facebook post that the Parliamentary Assembly of Council of Europe has approved a report on the Bodnariu case. "Today, the members of the Committee for Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) have decided to elaborate a Draft Report on: 'Striking a balance between the best interest of the child and need to keep the families together.' … The report will consider to which extent the abusive measures taken by the Childcare Social Services from Norway are compatible with the Council of Europe's standards in this specific field, and the resolution, which will draw the main conclusions from the report, will make concrete legislative recommendations to the Norwegian competent authorities," Ardelean wrote, according to the Insider, which translated the post. The family appealed the agency's decision to remove the children last November, but it was rejected. Officials went to the family's home, allegedly without documentation, and seized two of the sons and arrested Ruth, who took her baby son, Ezekiel, with her to the police station, the British-based Christian Institute reported at the time. Officials also went to Marius' work and arrested him. After being interrogated for several hours, the parents and baby Ezekiel were freed and allowed to go home, but without the other children. The following day, officials went back to the Bodnariu's home and took Ezekiel into custody on the grounds that Ruth was "dangerous." Last month, more than 100 attorneys from the United States and abroad and members of the European Parliament wrote a letter to the Norwegian Prime Minister, saying the government's act of seizing the children violated domestic and international law, and urging their immediate release. "We find the facts of this international incident unacceptable not only on legal grounds but also on humanitarian and moral grounds. We view these transgressions as grievous breaches of domestic and international law… Therefore, it is important that Norway immediately release the children back to their biological parents," the authors of the letter demanded.

Calabasas fire forces thousands from homes

Posted 6:52 pm, June 5, 2016, by CNN Wires, Updated at 06:51pm, June 5, 2016

Hundreds of firefighters are battling a blaze in Los Angeles County that has forced at least 5,000 people to evacuate their homes, authorities said. Since the inferno started Saturday afternoon it has already torched 516 acres, Los Angeles County Deputy Fire Chief John Tripp said. As of Sunday morning, the blaze was 30% contained. The fire is on the slope of a canyon, “which makes it very dangerous for us to do a direct attack,” Tripp said. The wildfire broke out Saturday afternoon in the Calabasas area — a relatively affluent part of Los Angeles County that is home to a handful of celebrities, including Jessica Simpson and Toni Braxton, authorities said. About 3,700 homes — or about 5,000 people — were ordered to evacuate in Calabasas and nearby Topanga, mountainous communities west of Los Angeles and north of Malibu. On Sunday morning, authorities lifted the evacuation order for Calabasas, but Topanga residents should stay away, officials said. “The fire is not on the road, it is halfway up the side of a mountain,” Tripp said. “That’s why we can’t let people back in their homes.” So far, the blaze has destroyed a large building and damaged two homes, he said. How it started The fire started around 4:15 p.m. PT Saturday when a pickup truck struck a power pole on Mulholland Highway in Calabasas, the sheriff’s department said. “Witnesses reported that the truck was traveling at a high rate of speed before colliding into a power pole, causing the pole to fall and a transformer to explode, thus igniting the Calabasas fire,” Deputy Jeffrey A. Gordon said. Temperatures in nearby Topanga reached the mid-90s earlier in the day, according to the National Weather Service. The fire has been dubbed the “Old Fire” due to its proximity to Old Topanga Canyon Road. It came right up to the edges of Calabasas High School and Viewpoint School. Fighting blaze with garden hoses About 400 firefighters, along with water-dropping helicopters, are trying to contain the blaze, Tripp said. He said three firefighters were injured. Two suffered knee injuries, and one had a “cardiac event.” “This is extremely arduous work for them to do,” Tripp said. Steve Gentry, a photojournalist who filmed the firefighters, told CNN the situation was “very serious.” “At one point, the fire was licking right up through to the backyards of a lot of the homes of the residents in that area, to the point where even sheriffs’ deputies were grabbing garden hoses and using them to fight the fire,” he said. “Things here in California, they’re very dry and it doesn’t take a whole lot for a fire to get going and spread really rapidly.” Pictures of the blaze show residents staring at bright, tall flames creeping toward the sky, visible from nearby streets. Roseann Bleiweiss’ son told CNN the fire looked like “something out of a movie.” One social media user said ash could be spotted as far away as Dodger Stadium, about 30 miles away. Celebrities also spoke out about the fire. Ellen DeGeneres tweeted that her brother-in-law was out fighting the blaze. “Sending thanks to Portia’s brother Michael & all the rescue workers on the scene of this dangerous fire,” she said. Calabasas and the nearby Santa Monica Mountains are no stranger to wildfires — the area has experienced many dangerous blazes over the years. A particularly strong fire in 2013 burned nearly 28,000 acres in two days, threatening thousands of homes in Ventura County. But relief may be on the horizon for this fire, CNN meteorologist Derek Van Dam said. More wind will help bring up humidity from the coast, which will help firefighters.

Global Gun Control Advocates to Meet in NYC to Set UN Disarmament Agenda

Written by Joe Wolverton, II, J.D. Sunday, 05 June 2016

Anti-gun globalists will meet in New York City this week discuss ways to confiscate small arms and ammunition from civilians and to consolidate monopoly control over those weapons in the hands of the governments of United Nations (UN) member states. The convention is part of a UN-controlled process of disarmament called the Programme of Action (PoA). From June 6-10 delegates from around the world will attend the Sixth Biennial Meeting of States (BMS6) of the PoA. This latest planning meeting will give delegates an opportunity to move the ball closer to the goal of ridding the world's civilian population of the small arms and ammunition that could challenge the ability of UN-approved governments to carry out the will of the world body. Serving as an agenda for the deliberations will be the Chair's Summary published after the last meeting in 2015. For Americans, then, it will be instructive to examine this document and identify all of the proposals that would violate the Constitution, specifically the right to keep and bear arms as protected by the Second Amendment. To this end, I will highlight a few of the provisions of the Chair's Summary that represent the most clear and present danger to liberty. First, the plan as put forth in the Chair's Summary calls for the UN's member states to eliminate the threat of technologically advanced weapons, including so-called polymer firearms and 3D printed guns, as well as the tracking of materials used in the “craft-production of small arms and light weapons.” Not surprisingly, the representative from China called for increased UN-mandated regulations on 3D printers and the weapons they produce. Specifically, the Chair's Summary calls for “strengthening 3D printing regulations in the context of 3D weapon printing,” for “ensuring export licenses [are] in place for 3D printers,” for drawing global attention to “the need to pay attention to the resale of such printers,” and for “strengthening controls over 3D printing technology.” No one is shocked, of course, that the globalists at the UN want to draw up comprehensive plans to take guns — any and every variety of gun — out of the hands of civilians. After discussing similar strategies to lock down the manufacture, purchase, sale, and transfer of polymer weapons and modular weapons, the next item on the agenda warrants an immediate withdrawal of the United States from the world body. Paragraph 33 of the Chair’s Summary of the meeting calls for urgent tracking of civilian-owned firearms, recommending that manufacturers be forced by the UN to install “RFID and biometric technologies in limiting the access to the weapon to authorized users only,” with authorized users defined as state actors (UN member nations). That’s right. As part of the Programme of Action (the foundation upon which the Arms Trade Treaty is built — a treaty nearly half of the U.S. Senate supports), the United States has committed to passing legislation that will require domestic firearms and ammunition manufacturers to equip their products with RFID chips and biometric technologies that will help the government slowly but surely disarm civilians. That’s not all. At the end of that paragraph, the UN suggests governments look into combining RFID chips, biometrics, with GPS tracking technologies to be sure to prevent regular people from getting their hands on guns. So, at this week's meeting, the UN will not only set out the schedule of domestic gun regulations, but it will instruct third-world regimes where to look for the money to help pay for the implementation of these new disarmament policies: increased foreign aid from the United States. Specifically, the unelected, unaccountable UN globocrats call for greater “international cooperation and assistance” (read: American taxpayer dollars) to offset the massive cost of the “transfer of technology and knowledge” necessary to make the proposed gun grab a reality. It should be noted that Paragraph 42 of the summary proposes funding this fascism “through the UN regular budget,” 22 percent of which is paid by the United States, through a process that can be described as nothing less than legalized theft of the wealth of the American worker. Next, the document calls for the cultivating of a “culture of peace,” which is certainly shorthand for flooding the United States with UN-created propaganda linking the civilian ownership of firearms with homicide and other violent crimes. Given the fact that both major party presidential candidates endorse some level of federal restriction on the right to keep and bear arms, it doesn’t take too much foresight to predict a panoply of renewed calls for controlling and regulating civilian access to firearms. Additionally, according to the text of the Chair's Summary that will serve as the to-do list for the world's international cadre of gun confiscators, the POA will serve as an “international instrument to enable states to identify and trace, in a timely and reliable manner,” the small arms and light weapons that are the subject of the scheme. In practice, this means that the governments of member nations (including the United States) will soon create a massive, all-inclusive database of all parties that manufacture, own, sell, trade, or transfer arms and ammunition. If recent history is a reliable indicator of how such data would be used, after the catalog is complete, Congress could pass a law (or the president could issue an executive order) compelling “voluntary” surrender of privately-owned weapons, ammo, parts, and components (including reloading equipment). If, after a statutorily-set window, citizens don’t turn in these items to their local law enforcement, then officers will be sent to remind violators of their responsibility under the law to disarm. How will this worldwide tracking of weapons, ammo, and component parts be carried out? Paragraph 32 of the Chair’s Summary lays out the plan for “real-time tracking” of firearms and ammunition “from manufacturer to storage and from storage up to the individual users.” Once the governments of the member nations begin tracking and confiscating weapons from civilians, the Programme of Action (paragraphs 30 and 31) mandates that member governments take “direct control over transfers of small arms and light weapons.” This control will require the federal government to begin stockpiling these items and making a database of the recently impounded guns, bullets, 3D printers, plastics, polymers, and component parts. This database must include "the marking, record-keeping and tracing of weapons, and in this regard considered barcodes, radio frequency identification (RFID) and biometrics for purposes of electronically identifying stored items, collecting data on them and enabling the data to be entered automatically into record-keeping systems." It is evident from a reading of this latest UN disarmament publication that despite the rhetoric related to ”promotion of a culture of peace,” there are only two reasons the UN is making every effort to disarm the population of the United States: to weaken our sovereignty, and to take from our people their ability to resist those despots (at home and abroad) who would place us under the boot of tyranny and demote us to the ranks of slaves on a “sustainable” global plantation. Finally, the upcoming confiscation confab will demand member states confirm their commitment to achieving the climate and sustainability goals set out in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which was adopted in September 2015. The startling complexity and comprehensiveness of these goals were examined by The New American's Alex Newman in an article published earlier this year. Newman writes: Perhaps the single most striking feature of Agenda 2030 is the practically undisguised roadmap to global socialism and corporatism/fascism, as countless analysts have pointed out. To begin with, consider the agenda’s Goal 10, which calls on the UN, national governments, and every person on Earth to “reduce inequality within and among countries.” To do that, the agreement continues, will “only be possible if wealth is shared and income inequality is addressed.” Americans committed to preserving their natural right to protect their liberty from those who would threaten it through the implementation of international agreements requiring the de facto repeal of the Second Amendment are encouraged to stand together in this urgent fight for freedom. There is no organization better positioned to prepare Americans with the resources necessary to defeat the forces of disarmament in the UN and in our own government than The John Birch Society (JBS). For more than five decades, the JBS has worked to “Get U.S. out of the UN." The strength that results from this unmatched record of results makes the JBS uniquely able to increase the awareness of the American people for the fight to retain the right to keep and bear arms.

Human-pig hybrids for organ transplants could develop into monsters with 'OUR brains'

SCIENTISTS trying to grow our body parts inside pigs to end the shortage of organs needed for transplants could inadvertently make animals with human brains, it has emerged.

By Jon Austin PUBLISHED: 09:16, Mon, Jun 6, 2016 | UPDATED: 18:00, Mon, Jun 6, 2016

It was revealed today that in a futuristic Dr Frankenstein-like experiment, scientisist in the US have injected human stem cells into pig embryos to produce human-pig embryos known as chimeras. But, concern has already surfaced that playing God in this way could open the door to pig's developing with human intelligence and too much like us. There are fears that mixing pig and human genes in this way coud see the animals develop looking like animals but with human brains or boosted intelligence. The research is so controversial that last year, the main US medical research agency, the National Institutes of Health, imposed a moratorium on funding such experiments. Its main concern is that the human cells might migrate to the developing pig's brain and make it, in some way, more human. Pablo Ross, a reproductive biologist who is leading the research, said this is unlikely but is a key reason why the research is proceeding with such caution. He said: "We think there is very low potential for a human brain to grow, but this is something we will be investigating." Mr Ross, whose team is from University of California, Davis, says the hybrids should look and behave like normal pigs except that one organ will be composed of human cells. But, amid concerns that the human-pig chimeric embryos could develop too much like us, the inch-long embryoes are only being allowed to develop inside the sows for 28 days before the pregnancies are terminated and the tissue removed for analysis. In Greek mythology, chimeras were fire-breathing monsters composed of several animals - part lion, goat and snake. Other teams in the United States have created human-pig chimeric embryos but none has allowed the foetuses to be born, because of the fears of the hybrid creation. Walter Low, professor in the department of neurosurgery, University of Minnesota, said pigs were an ideal "biological incubator" for growing human organs, and could potentially be used to create not just a pancreas but hearts, livers, kidneys, lungs and corneas. He said if the iPS cells were taken from a patient needing a transplant then these could be injected in a pig embryo which had the key genes deleted for creating the required organ, such as the liver. He said: "The organ would be an exact genetic copy of your liver but a much younger and healthier version and you would not need to take immunosuppressive drugs which carry side-effects." Alarmingly, his team is also trying to create dopamine-producing human neurons from chimeric embryos to treat patients with Parkinson's disease. These embryos have been allowed to develop for up to 62 days - the normal gestation period is around 114 days. Like the team in California, Prof Low said they were monitoring the effects on the pig brain: He said: "With every organ we will look at what's happening in the brain and if we find that it's too human like, then we won't let those foetuses be born". The BBC's medical correspondent Fergus Walsh was given exclusive access to the research for Panorama - Medicine's Big Breakthrough: Editing Your Genesto be shown tonight at 8.30pm on BBC One. Creating the chimeric embryos takes two stages. First, a technique known as CRISPR gene editing is used to remove DNA from a newly fertilised pig embryo that would enable the resulting foetus to grow a pancreas. This creates a genetic "niche" or void. Then, human induced pluripotent (iPS) stem cells are injected into the embryo. The iPS cells were derived from adult cells and "dialled back" to become stem cells capable of developing into any tissue in the body. The team at UC Davis hopes the human stem cells will take advantage of the genetic niche in the pig embryo and the resulting foetus will grow a human pancreas. Mr Ross said: "Our hope is that this pig embryo will develop normally but the pancreas will be made almost exclusively out of human cells and could be compatible with a patient for transplantation." In the mid-90s there were hopes that genetically modified pigs might provide an endless supply of organs for patients, and that cross-species transplants were not far off. But clinical trials stalled because of fears that humans might be infected with animal viruses. Organisations campaigning for an end to factory farming are also dismayed at the thought of organ farms. Peter Stevenson, from Compassion in World Farming, told Panorama: "I'm nervous about opening up a new source of animal suffering. "Let's first get many more people to donate organs. If there is still a shortage after that, we can consider using pigs, but on the basis that we eat less meat so that there is no overall increase in the number of pigs being used for human purposes."

THE COMING CASHLESS SOCIETY: BIG BROTHER & THE MARK OF THE BEAST

By Paul McGuire June 6, 2016 NewsWithViews.com

Sweden is the first nation in the world to embrace a cashless society, where according to the central bank, Riksbank, cash transactions made up only 2% of the value of all payments last year. Swedish economists believe that by 2020 cash transactions will be only 0.5%. Various apps like Swish and the Danish app, MobilePay, are being used to make purchases from various street vendor sales and even to give church donations. According a Guardian article, “Sweden leads race to become cashless society,” by Jon Henley dated June 4, 2016, “Swedes are blazing the trail in Europe, with banks, buses, street vendors and even churches expecting plastic or virtual payment.” Promoters of a cashless society point out that there are countless benefits, such as control, tracking, and identification of criminals, along with the ability to block deposits, purchases, and withdrawals. In 2014, Cass Sunstein, the “regulatory czar,” former head of the office of Information and Regulatory Affair (OIRA), promoted the idea that a cashless society would reduce street crime. Sunstein believed that there was a relationship between (EBT) Electronic Benefit Transfer system for welfare benefits and a drop in crime. Although there has been no proof that Sunstein’s theory is true, in the spring of 2014, the Department of Justice came under fire for “Operation Choke Point,” which was designed to shut down payday lenders and other merchant activities that were labeled “high-risk.” Sunstein appears to believe that society should be run by something resembling Plato’s Philosopher King System, controlled by “elites” such as himself. In effect, our world already is ruled by a class of wealthy and powerful people who view themselves as the philosopher or god-kings described by the Greek Philosopher Plato, who had studied the legendary super-civilization of Atlantis. I outline the historical progression of this in A Prophecy of the Future of America 2016-2017. Although Sunstein would not call himself a Marxist, his ideological beliefs are totalitarian in nature, such as the belief that people should be prevented from being exposed to different belief systems on the Internet. So it is no wonder that Cass Sunstein wrote an op-ed advocating a cashless society. According to an article written in the Atlantic magazine on April 8, 2016, “How a Cashless Society Could Embolden Big Brother,” by Sarah Jeong, a bare list of bullet points put out by the FDIC include some of the following merchant categories associated with high-risk activity. “Ammunition sales, Dating Services, Get Rich Products, Government Grants, Life-Time Memberships, Pharmaceutical Sales, Pornography, Pyramid-Type Sales, Surveillance Equipment, Travel Clubs, etc. One major bank shut down the personal accounts of hundreds of “adult entertainers,” which caused them to lose access to medical treatment, food and rent money. Sarah Jeong wrote, “A cashless society promises a world of limitation, control, and surveillance, which the poorest American already have in abundance.” According to Jeong, EBT and the cashless society targets the most vulnerable people in our society. Interestingly, one of the most widely read books in human history, the Book Of Revelation, deals specifically with a global cashless society where no individual can buy or sell without receiving what is called “the mark of the beast,” which appears to predict some kind of microchip implant with a computer-brain interface. This “mark of the beast” technology will only be distributed to individuals who have the required religious and political beliefs, making it an all-powerful global control system. Despite the intellectual bias against the Book of Revelation even being looked at, the reality is that it brings up the themes of a cashless society and some kind of microchip over 2,000 years ago. The other thing that is interesting is that in order to receive this chip and participate in the economic system and be able to buy or sell, you must have specific beliefs. The specific condition is that you must choose to worship the charismatic world leader the Bible calls the Antichrist. No matter what your previous religious beliefs were, you must renounce them and declare your worship of the Antichrist as God. This appears to specifically target Christians, in that they must renounce their belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and openly state that they will worship the Antichrist.

Netanyahu heads to Russia as ties with Moscow strengthen

Israeli PM heads to Kremlin for fourth meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin; extended trip to last for 2 and a half days.

By Ari Soffer First Publish: 6/6/2016, 8:04 AM

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu headed to Moscow this morning, for his third visit to the Kremlin in nine months, as Israel-Russia ties continues to burgeon. The meeting is the fourth one between Netanyahu and Russia President Vladimir Putin during the same period, after the pair also met at the sidelines of the recent UN climate change conference in Paris. Israeli President Reuven Rivlin has also met with Putin during that time, even canceling a trip to Australia to visit the Russian leader at the Kremlin. In an illustration of the growing alliance between their two countries, this time Netanyahu is scheduled to stay in Russia for an extended trip of two and a half days, meeting other leading Russian officials as well as the Russian President. The official pretext for this visit is to mark 25 years of official diplomatic relations between Israel and Russia. Until then, Israel's relationship with what was then the Soviet Union had been hostile one, with Moscow backing Israel's Arab enemies and declaring itself opposed to Zionism. Today, however, things are very different. Official explanations aside, the two leaders will be engaging on a range of issues of mutual interest and potential cooperation, most notably the ongoing bloody civil war in Syria. Russia, which supports Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, has been heavily engaged in Syria on the side of the regime. While Israel considers the Assad regime - a close ally of Iran - an enemy, and is still technically at war with it, Jerusalem and Moscow have seen their interests in Syria converge as of late. Last year, Netanyahu and Putin reached a landmark agreement to coordinate all Israeli and Russian forces in and over the skies of Israel's northern neighbor. Israel, concerned over the growing Iranian presence in Syria, has operated extensively to thwart the transfers of sophisticated weaponry and radar equipment to Hezbollah, which is also fighting on behalf of the Syrian regime. The Israeli air force has also assassinated several leading Hezbollah terrorists based in Syria, who were plotting attacks against Israeli targets. While Russia is working to secure its own strategic interests in Syria - most crucially by preserving its naval and other military bases in western Syria - the Kremlin has made it clear it has no interest in facilitating attacks against Israel, and has allowed Israeli aircraft free movement over the skies of Syria. In return, among other things, Israel has committed to alerting Russia of impending airstrikes to ensure no Russian casualties, and has allowed Russian aircraft to cross into Israeli airspace when operationally necessary for its operations in southern Syria. In a symbolic illustration of the growing alliance, last week Putin signed an executive order to hand over an Israeli tank seized by pro-Soviet Arab forces in Syria during the First Lebanon War. But while previous - far more speedy - visits by Netanyahu have focused purely on the Syrian crisis, this extended trip is expected to also deal with a range of other issues, according to sources close to the PM. Among other things, the pair will discuss the battle against global Islamic terrorism, as well as the diplomatic process with the Palestinian Authority. Both topics come at a particularly important time. Russia - which is in Syria ostensibly to fight jihadist terrorists - is also a backer of Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, and Israeli leaders hope they can persuade the Russians to use their leverage with Iran to curb Tehran's increasingly aggressive designs in the region. On the diplomatic front, Netanyahu will look to Russia as a way to offset a hostile White House's recent veiled threats to not use its veto in the Security Council, as well as increased pressure from Europe to impose a two-state solution over the heads of the Israeli government. The growing Israeli-Russian alliance also illustrates Moscow's rising influence in the Middle East, as US President Barack Obama has pulled back America's presence and influence in the region considerably.

Around the year 2005, a sudden spark will catalyze a Crisis mood. Remnants of the old social order will disintegrate. Political and economic trust will implode. Real hardship will beset the land, with severe distress that could involve questions of class, race, nation and empire. The very survival of the nation will feel at stake. Sometime before the year 2025, America will pass through a great gate in history, commensurate with the American Revolution, Civil War, and twin emergencies of the Great Depression and World War II.” – Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning The chart below was posted by Jesse a few weeks ago. It accompanied a post titled Gathering Storm. He doesn’t specifically refer to the chart, but his words reflect the ominous view of the future depicted in the chart. “When gold and silver finally are able, through price action, to have their say about the state of Western fiscal and monetary policy actions, it may break a few ear drums and shatter a more than a few illusions about the wisdom and honesty of the money masters. Slowly, but surely, a reckoning is coming. And what has been hidden will be revealed.” The title of the post and the chart both grabbed my attention and provide a glimpse into the reality of our present situation. The Gathering Storm was the title of Winston Churchill’s volume one history of World War II. Churchill documents the tumultuous twenty years leading up to World War II in The Gathering Storm. The years following World War I, through the Great Depression and the rise of Hitler were abysmal, but only a prelude to the approaching horror of 65 million deaths over the next six years. What appeared to be dark days in the 1930’s were only storm clouds gathering before a once in a lifetime tempest. In my view we stand at an equally perilous point in history today. The graph represents the standard progress of a three act drama in literature. In the three-act structure, act one has the least tension, since it is only establishing the characters and the settings. The catalyst triggers an increase in tension with the revelation dramatically escalating the pressure as you approach the climax. The intensity remains high in act three as the final confrontation and resolution play out. Every Shakespearean tragedy follows this general pathway to a final denouement. It peculiarly parallels the path of a Fourth Turning. A Fourth Turning’s three acts are the catalyst phase, regeneracy stage, and climax. The plot of this Fourth Turning crisis revolves around the core elements of debt, civic decay and global disorder. The 2008 global financial crisis, manufactured by the Fed and their Wall Street puppeteers, was catalyzed by hundreds of billions in bad debt issued as part of the largest control fraud scheme in world history. The brunt of this banker formulated disaster has been borne by the former working middle class and senior citizens dependent upon interest income to survive in an inflationary world. The initial threat of full-fledged collapse was deferred through extreme monetary and fiscal actions by the establishment vassals, as they created trillions in new debt to fill the vortex produced by the trillions in bad debt. We are only in the early stages of Act 2 of this tragedy we call The Fall of the American Empire. The tension triggered in 2008/2009 by the Federal Reserve/Wall Street created subprime debacle subsided, as the ruling class was able to expand their wealth (rigging the financial markets), while crushing dissent (OWS, Tea Party), expanding their surveillance state (as revealed by Snowden), waging undeclared wars around the globe (Syria, Libya, Iraq, Yemen), adding $10 trillion to the national debt, while distracting the masses through propaganda, electronic bread and circuses, and trivial societal diversions. While the public is busy arguing about gay marriage, wedding cakes, transgender bathrooms, safe spaces, triggers, SJWs, Bruce Jenner becoming Caitlyn Jenner, and apes rights, the ruling class pillages the remaining wealth of the nation and forges ahead with their plans to control our lives. Despite knowing a Fourth Turning generally ebbs and flows over a two decade time frame, it can be frustrating watching the corrupt crony capitalist pigs running this shitshow continue to flagrantly disregard the rule of law, the Constitution, and abusing the citizens of this country. But the temporary lull in intensity is coming to an end. We are now eight years into this Fourth Turning with at least a decade to go before the climax. The regeneracy has been slow in coming, but it appears the mood of the country has been catalyzed by the anti-establishment campaigns of Trump and Sanders. They have begun the process of regeneracy against the ingrained, corrupt, immoral establishment. The people are collectively revolting against the existing social order as they are finally realizing they have been used and abused by the ruling oligarchy as pawns in their game of world domination. The obscene wealth of the .1% has been absconded from the working class through abuse of the tax laws, trade deals, regulations, monetary policy, public school indoctrination, peddling of debt to the masses, and relentless propaganda. The systematic manipulation of the financial, monetary, political and commercial markets by the money masters has left the country like a mighty diseased, hollowed out, rotting oak tree – one storm away from collapsing and splintering into a thousand pieces. A gathering storm approaches. The mood of the country has turned dark. The political parties are splintering. The elites in NYC, DC, and LA are appalled the peasants in flyover country are not following orders and voting for the hand-picked lackey candidates. If Clinton can avoid indictment, she’ll represent the establishment versus the anti-establishment Trump in the upcoming election. The establishment is using the power of the press to try and discredit Trump and Sanders. It’s failing. The mainstream media is now trusted and respected on par with Congress – lower than whale shit. The establishment is now resorting to paying thugs to violently disrupt Trump campaign events. This ploy is backfiring, as the white silent majority gravitates toward Trump every time an illegal immigrant burns an American flag or a young woman is assaulted by Black Thugs Matter paid rioters. With the economy in freefall, rigged financial markets immensely overvalued, debt levels at extremes, global tensions rising, and an increasingly angry American populace desperate for change, it appears the stars are aligning for a Trump presidency. He is a flawed human being, with a huge ego, no filter, and no experience governing. But none of that matters. He has captured the zeitgeist of this moment in history. At this juncture in a Fourth Turning the public is ready to dump leaders who have downplayed the vast problems facing the country (unfunded liabilities, illegal immigration, entitlements, debt, wars, jobs, bankers) in favor of leaders who are willing to amplify and tackle those problems head on. A new civic ethos of addressing and responding to threats is taking hold. The generational configuration is aligned and the mood of the country is ripe for a prophet generation Boomer, like Trump, to be the Grey Champion who will lead the country through the darkest most perilous portion of this Fourth Turning. As this Fourth Turning careens towards its climax, the intensity will escalate. Bold decisions will need to be made requiring a leader who displays tremendous confidence and strong leadership. Political correctness will be cast aside. The previous two Grey Champion leaders – Lincoln and Roosevelt – are despised on many levels by many people, as they both ignored the Constitution on many occasions while attempting to do what they thought best in leading the country through desperate times. Their policies and executive actions during those dark days of the Civil War, Great Depression, and World War II left a long lasting impact on the country and play a major role in our current crisis. As Strauss and Howe predicted almost 20 years ago, the regeneracy is solidly under way. “Soon after the catalyst, a national election will produce a sweeping political realignment, as one faction or coalition capitalizes on a new public demand for decisive action. Republicans, Democrats, or perhaps a new party will decisively win the long partisan tug of war. This new regime will enthrone itself for the duration of the Crisis. Regardless of its ideology, that new leadership will assert public authority and demand private sacrifice. Where leaders had once been inclined to alleviate societal pressures, they will now aggravate them to command the nation’s attention. The regeneracy will be solidly under way.” – Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning It is difficult for the vast majority of people to comprehend the likely chaos, pain, bloodshed and war which will overspread the nation and the world during the final two acts of this tragic play. The discomfort most people are feeling is just their cognitive dissonance telling them everything will be fine as they experience a steady decline in their standard of living. Harkening back to Jesse’s original chart, the Fourth Turning regeneracy is aligning with the Revelation in Act 2. The day of reckoning will arrive when Trump is elected and that which has been hidden is revealed. Anyone who doesn’t grasp the increasing intensity of the rhetoric, opponent interactions, and media responses will be blind-sided by the coming storm. The days of delusion, denial and debt are going to revert to dismay, depression and death. There is no more room to increase leverage. Americans are up to their eyeballs in mortgage, credit card, auto loan, and student loan debt ($17.4 trillion). Corporations are stuffed with record levels of debt ($14 trillion) they used to buy back their stock at all-time high prices. State and local governments are drowning in trillions of debt and unfunded pension liabilities. The Federal government is $19.3 trillion in debt, with unfunded entitlement liabilities exceeding $200 trillion. It is mathematically impossible for this debt to be repaid with a rapidly aging developed world and a debt saturated developing world. With financial markets as overvalued as they have ever been, the next crash will leave all the heavily indebted parties with no assets to repay the debt. The losses will make the 2008 financial crisis look like a stroll in the park. And the Fed shot their load years ago, without having the guts to reload. Their credibility is shot and their $4 trillion balance sheet is insolvent. The Wall Street banks are zombies sustained by 0% interest rates and accounting fraud. I know the last few years have been frustrating for the “doom and gloomers” who actually have critical thinking skills and understand the nature of our dire economic situation. Much like Michael Burry, as described so well by Michael Lewis in The Big Short, your facts may be 100% correct but markets and people can remain irrational for longer than you think possible. By having the courage of your convictions, you must be prepared for scorn, ridicule, and mocking. As the unpayable debt has expanded to ever greater heights and monetary authorities across the globe implement wildly desperate measure like negative interest rates and buying financial assets to prop up stock markets, the public has become more unquestioning of reality and deluded by the seeming stability of financial markets. Record low interest rates and rising stock prices reinforce the normalcy bias of most people. Many smart, normally skeptical, people have thrown in the towel. Because the gathering storm has not struck as predicted, they begin to believe it will never strike. This same mindset existed in 1860, 1929, 1940, 1999, and 2007. It easy to be lulled to sleep by the propaganda media machines, lying politicians, and extreme monetary schemes portrayed as normal by the money men. Things are not getting better. We are not at the end of this crisis. We are in the midst of a Greater Depression, with the most trying times still ahead. Fourth Turnings never de-intensify. They intensify into a chaotic whirlwind, where the future of our civilization hangs in the balance. The climax of this play is a long way off. The election of Trump in November will trigger the transformational change that always happens during a Fourth Turning. An ill wind is beginning to blow. You can’t avoid the coming storm, but you can mentally and physically prepare. Our choices will make a difference.

Obama: Manufacturing Jobs Outsourced To Mexico Aren’t Coming Back

by Charlie Spiering2 Jun 2016670

President Barack Obama is giving up on some of the American manufacturing jobs that went to Mexico, telling an Indiana resident that many of those jobs are not coming back. During a town hall in Elkhart, Indiana, Obama was asked a question about manufacturing by a man who was once employed by Carrier Corporation in Indiana before the plant announced plans to move to Mexico. “What we have to do is to make sure that folks are trained for the jobs that are coming in now because some of those jobs of the past are just not going to come back,” Obama said bluntly during the event broadcast on PBS. Carrier announced in February that it would move 1,400 jobs to Mexico — even after receiving $5.1 million from the Obama administration in clean energy tax credits. Carrier later clarified in a statement that it will not claim the federal tax credit. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has cited Carrier specifically on the campaign trail, saying it’s one more sign of American decline. “I wanna do the number on Carrier, folks. I don’t like what they did,” Trump said in April, vowing to bring the jobs back. But Obama was skeptical that Trump could fulfill his promise. “There’s no answer to it. He just says, ‘Well, I’m going to negotiate a better deal.’ Well, how exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have?” Obama asked. “And usually, the answer is he doesn’t have an answer.” Obama insisted that the “good old days” of manufacturing were over, thanks to technology. “The days when you just being willing to work hard and you can now walk into a plant and suddenly there’s going to be a job for you for 30 years or 40 years, that’s just not going to be there for our kids,” Obama said. He blamed technology and automation for the decreasing level of manufacturing jobs, suggesting that free community college would help students learn the skills necessary to compete for high tech jobs. “[Y]ou cannot look backwards, and that doesn’t make folks feel good sometimes, especially if it’s a town that was reliant on a couple of big manufacturers,” he said. “But they’re going to have to retrain for the jobs of the future, not the jobs of the past.”

Is It Already Too Late? If EMP Holocaust Of Mass Starvation And Societal Collapse Is Avoided, We Can Thank This True American Hero

Roscoe Bartlett - The 'Paul Revere' Of EMP Turns 90

Submitted to All News Pipeline by Dr. Peter Vincent Pry. Dr. Pry is Executive Director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security and Director of the U.S. Nuclear Strategy Forum, both Congressional Advisory Boards, and served on the Congressional EMP Commission, the Congressional Strategic Posture Commission, and the House Armed Services Committee. Few Americans have heard of Roscoe Bartlett--but all Americans may someday owe him their lives. The former congressman from Maryland's 6th District, who on June 3rd celebrated his 90th birthday, is the modern Paul Revere of electromagnetic pulse (EMP). It is a safe bet that most or all readers of Family Security Matters and All News Pipeline now know about the EMP threat. Indeed, more Americans may know about EMP than about Paul Revere, a situation Roscoe would certainly disapprove! Roscoe Bartlett took EMP out of the classified shadows. There its potentially paralyzing effects on military forces and civilian critical infrastructures were deeply understood only by a small number of nuclear strategists and specialists. The American people now know about the existential threat that is EMP because of Roscoe Bartlett. In 1995, then Representative Roscoe Bartlett--one of the few scientists and inventors to hold a seat in Congress--launched a one man crusade to educate policymakers and the public about the grave danger to our civilization from a nuclear EMP attack that might come from terrorists, rogue states, China or Russia. The spark was the still little known nuclear missile crisis of January 25, 1995. During the most perilous 20 minutes of the nuclear missile age, the Russian General Staff mistook a high-altitude Norwegian meteorological rocket for an incoming EMP attack. They activated then Russian President Boris Yeltsin's "red button" for making a nuclear strike. Fortunately, Yeltsin literally refused to "push the button" and bravely waited. The missile reached apogee without an EMP detonation. The crisis passed. In the aftermath of the crisis, Roscoe wondered, if a single nuclear weapon used to make an EMP attack could have such catastrophic consequences, so frightening to the Russians, could terrorists or rogue states make an EMP attack? Do Russia and China have plans for EMP attack against the United States? And are we prepared? Congressman Roscoe Bartlett held the first unclassified hearing before Congress and the public on EMP effects, and on the capabilities of potential adversaries. Over the next five years, Roscoe convened numerous unclassified and classified briefings and hearings on EMP before the House Armed Services Committee and other bodies of the Congress. Roscoe arranged a congressional hearing unique in history at Aberdeen. The capabilities of two non-nuclear EMP weapons were demonstrated to Congress and the people at the U.S. Army Proving Ground at Aberdeen. The weapons were an experiment, designed and built by civilian electricians, using parts available from Radio Shack, to showcase what terrorists could do. At Aberdeen, the successful tests were performed in a special chamber designed to contain EMP, to protect passing airliners. The circle of knowledge and concern about EMP grew rapidly, due to Congressman Bartlett's leadership. But President Bill Clinton's Department of Defense and other administration spokesman dismissed the EMP threat. They argued the Cold War is over, so we don't need to worry about EMP attack from Russia or China any more. Terrorists and rogue states are not sophisticated enough to understand EMP, or so Congress was told. Consequently, because the Cold War was over, the Clinton Administration was dismantling EMP simulators, no longer EMP hardening U.S. military forces, and using commercial off-the-shelf technologies very vulnerable to EMP. In May 1999, Roscoe went to Vienna with a bipartisan Congressional Delegation to meet with leaders of the Russian Duma to explore ending the Balkans War. NATO was bombing Serbia, a Russian ally. On day one of the meeting, the Russian Duma made a thinly veiled threat to end the Balkans War by making a nuclear EMP strike on the United States. Thus, Moscow discredited the Clinton Administration's claim that the U.S. doesn't have to worry about EMP. In 2001, Rep. Bartlett established the Congressional EMP Commission with unanimous bipartisan support. The EMP Commission found that Iran--the world's leading sponsor of international terrorism--openly writes about destroying the United States with a nuclear EMP attack and has practiced such an attack in missile tests and exercises. Russia, China, and North Korea all have the capability and plans to make an EMP attack on the United States. The Commission also warned that Mother Nature can inflict an EMP catastrophe by a solar super-storm, like the 1859 Carrington Event. In 1995, many belittled Roscoe Bartlett for sounding the alarm about EMP. Today the nation is galvanized into action trying to protect itself from an EMP catastrophe:

--President Obama has launched a "National Space Weather Action Plan" to protect the electric grid and other critical infrastructures from natural EMP generated by a solar super-storm.

--Obama's Department of Defense is further hardening the North American Aerospace Defense (NORAD) alternate headquarters inside Cheyenne Mountain, and hardening many DOD assets, against EMP attack from North Korea and others.

--The Critical Infrastructure Protection Act (CIPA), which would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to plan for protecting and recovering the nation from a natural or manmade EMP catastrophe, is on the verge of passage through the Senate.

--DHS is not waiting for passage of CIPA, but is partnering with the Department of Energy and the electric power industry to plan for protecting the grid from nuclear EMP attack.

--The States are not waiting for Washington. So far, Maine, Virginia, Arizona, Florida, and Texas have launched initiatives to protect their peoples from EMP. --Congress has re-established the EMP Commission to help federal and state governments. Two North Korean satellites already orbit over the United States on the optimum trajectories to evade U.S. National Missile Defenses and make a surprise EMP attack. NASA estimates the likelihood of a natural EMP catastrophe from a solar super-storm, encompassing the whole world, to be 12 percent per decade. Anyone can buy portable non-nuclear EMP devices that criminals or terrorists could use, with a little knowledge of the grid, to cause a protracted nationwide blackout. Will efforts to protect the nation from an EMP holocaust of mass starvation and societal collapse be in time? Will our efforts be enough? Only God knows. But God sent us Roscoe Bartlett. While trying to save America, Roscoe has also been a husband to his wife Ellen, father to 10 children, grandfather to 17, great-grandfather to 2, a teacher, a physiologist, and a patented inventor. Happy Birthday Roscoe! And thank you.

The EU Is Finding a Way to Legalize Child Molestation

Sometimes, good things come in small packages, although there is not much good that can come this subject. This article is brief and very much to the point. There is very little offered in contextual background with almost no dots to connect. I view the following as the most important article, and certainly the most disturbing article, I have ever written. Soon, Our Children Will Not Be Safe George Soros contributed $2 million to the North American Man Boy Love Association. They are actively advocating for sex with children. Their byline is “Sex before eight or it is too late”. Please tell me how a seven year old can consent to having sex with an adult? For years, I have been claiming that the criminal elite will eventually remove the final taboo, the final prohibition from society, namely, adults having sex with children. With the advent of the transgender restroom issue, I renewed my claim that the globalists were bootstrapping the laws towards eventually removing the final prohibition. The last time I made this claim was about a week ago. Soon, our children will be at risk to unsavory predators, acquiring STD’s and experiencing a lifetime of horrifying psychological scars. At issue in this article is a document that the European Parliament is issuing to its member states. Below, are excerpts of the article. From the European Parliament

A EUROPEAN FRAMEWORK NATIONAL STATUTE FOR THE PROMOTION OF TOLERANCE SUBMITTED WITH A VIEW TO BEING ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURES OF EUROPEAN STATE What originally appears to be a general restriction on free speech against any and all groups is really a lot more when on reads the fine print. Here are the relevant excerpts: Section 1. Definitions For the purposes of this Statute: (a) “Group” means: a number of people joined by racial or cultural roots, ethnic origin or descent, religious affiliation or linguistic links, gender identity or sexual orientation, or any other characteristics of a similar nature. I do not advocate for the discrimination of any of the non-heterosexual groups except for pedophiles and transhumanists and only because they leave victims behind. This is not a movement being promoted by the majority of people in these lifestyles, this is a movement promoted by the globalists. However, make note of the term, sexual orientation, it will figure prominently in the rest of the article. The Dangers of Bootstrapping When the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual -3rd Edition was created in the 1960’s, being labeled “homosexual” also brought a mental illness diagnosis. When the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) -4th Edition was created in the 1990’s being labeled “transgender” also brought a mental illness diagnosis in which the person was labeled as having Gender Identity Disorder. Today, under DSM-V, LGBT people are a legally protected class and special status protections not afforded to heterosexual couples. Please look back at the definition posted earlier. The protected class in this EU document is “sexual orientation”. This term is very broad and very vague given the political climate of the today. At one point in time in our recent past, the only approved sexual orientation was the Biblical definition. Today, each non-heterosexual orientation has been bootstrapped to the next to make it acceptable (e.g. gay to transgender). With transgenders receiving protected status in the US, Canada and Europe, how long will it be till the transgender lifestyle is bootstrapped to the next one in line. And what is the next one in line? That would be abject pedophilia that will soon become a protected class in which it will become a crime to speak out against, much less prosecute for their heinous action. To the novice to our Patriot movement, this may seem like a fantasy. But to those who have around for awhile, you can see all the elements of the globalists at work (e.g. create the protected class, shower the protected class with laws that only protect them, and then through incrementalism, bootstrap the previous to the next step). Again from the EU Parliament document: (d)Public morals. Explanatory Note: Examples: tolerance does not denote acceptance of such practices as female circumcision, forced marriage, polygamy or any form of exploitation or domination of women. (ED. Note: Why doesn’t this document mention protecting children instead of only protecting women?) What About North America? If you still need convincing, please look at what’s happening in North America, it parallels Europe. Bloomberg.com stated that Beyond national laws that criminalize hate speech, there is a need to ensure such activity by Internet users is “expeditiously reviewed by online intermediaries and social media platforms, upon receipt of a valid notification, in an appropriate time-frame,” the companies and the European Commission said in a joint statement on Tuesday. (Ed. Note: The European Commission is the same group that was referenced above). Ed. Note: This is an enforcement document which derives itself from the same document listed above.  Nearly two weeks ago, I wrote the following “The New York City Commission on Human Rights, employees, landlords are demanding that businesses can face stiff fines if they do not Americans and Canadians are in cahoots with the Euros refer to transgenders by using “approved” terms such as “ze” and “hir”. Failure to do so will result in violation of the New York City Human Rights Law. This is the most poorly written administrative law that I have seen. However, it appears that each business must refer to each transgender in the the exact terms that each transgender demands. This is an unreasonable burden on any business. To remain compliant with this unusual and far-reaching demand, a business will have to literally hire and question all people entering a business…. Here is an excerpt from the administrative law: “Intentional or repeated refusal to use an individual’s preferred name, pronoun or title. For example, repeatedly calling a transgender woman “him” or “Mr.” after she has made clear which pronouns and title she uses.” If you are rubbing your eyes in confusion, you are not alone…” “Covered entities may avoid violations of The NYCHRL by creating a policy of asking everyone what their preferred gender pronoun is so that no individual is singled out for such questions and by updating their systems to allow all individuals to self-identify their names and genders. They should not limit the options for identification to male and female only,” states the NYCHRL on gender identity”. THIS WILL LITERALLY CAUSE ALL BUSINESSES TO REVISE THEIR ORDER FORMS. Again, what small business can afford such an onerous demand? Can you imagine every business being forced to ask every customer as they walk through the door if they want to be referred to as “he”, “ze”, and “hir”?Canada is on the verge of passing legislation that makes illegal to criticize transgenders. Here are the relevant parts of this very vague law. Criminal Code 2014, c. 31, s. 12 3 Subsection 318(4) of the Criminal Code is replaced by the following: Definition of identifiable group (4) In this section, identifiable group means any section of the public distinguished by colour, race, religion, national or ethnic origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or mental or physical disability. New York, and Canada, this is not just happening in Europe. Conclusion Who is to say that “sexual orientation” will not be extended to pedophiles as there is precedent for this type of bootstrapping? It is the next logical step and we have four decades of bootstrapping various forms of sexual orientation into the next form sexual orientation. Yes, I know this EU document stifles free speech and protects Muslim immigrants coming into Europe, but the incessant reappearance of the term “sexual orientation” is troublesome because in the document, absolutely no criticism is allowed as it is referred to group libel. Each and everyday we move closer to eliminating the final prohibition. The final day of elimination is nearly here.

Obama Slams Door in Putin’s Face: Says if Putin doesn’t want Russia’s retaliatory forces eliminated, he’ll need to be the one to press the nuclear button first

23111 Views June 06, 2016 by Eric Zuesse

Actions speak louder than mere words, and U.S. President Barack Obama has now acted, not only spoken. His action is to refuse to discuss with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russia’s biggest worry about recent changes in America’s nuclear strategy — particularly a stunning change that is terrifying Putin. On Sunday June 5th, Reuters headlined “Russia Says U.S. Refuses Talks on Missile Defence System”, and reported that, “The United States has refused Russian offers to discuss Washington’s missile defence programme, Russian Deputy Defence Minister Anatoly Antonov was quoted as saying on Sunday, calling the initiative ‘very dangerous’.Russia’s concern is that, if the “Ballistic Missile Defense” or “Anti Ballistic Missile” system, that the United States is now just starting to install on and near Russia’s borders, works, then the United States will be able to launch a surprise nuclear attack against Russia, and this system, which has been in development for decades and is technically called the “Aegis Ashore Missile Defense System”, will annihilate the missiles that Russia launches in retaliation, which will then leave the Russian population with no retaliation at all, except for the nuclear contamination of the entire northern hemisphere, and global nuclear winter, the blowback from America’s onslaught against Russia, which blowback some strategists in the West say would be manageable probems for the U.S. and might be worth the cost of eliminating Russia. That theory, of a winnable nuclear war (which in the U.S. seems to be replacing the prior theory, called “M.A.D.” for Mutually Assured Destruction) was first prominently put forth in 2006 in the prestigious U.S. journal Foreign Affairs, headlining “The Rise of Nuclear Primacy” and which advocated for a much bolder U.S. strategic policy against Russia, based upon what it argued was America’s technological superiority against Russia’s weaponry and a possibly limited time-window in which to take advantage of it before Russia catches up and the opportunity to do so is gone. Paul Craig Roberts was the first reporter in the West to write in a supportive way about Russia’s concerns that Barack Obama might be a follower of that theory. One of Roberts’s early articles on this was issued on 17 June 2014 and headlined “Washington Is Beating The War Drums”, where he observed that “US war doctrine has been changed. US nuclear weapons are no longer restricted to a retaliatory force, but have been elevated to the role of preemptive nuclear attack.” Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has tried many times to raise this issue with President Obama, the most recent such instance being via a public statement of his concern, made on May 27th. Apparently, the public statement by Antonov on June 5th is following up on that latest Putin effort, by Antonov’s announcement there that Obama now explicitly refuses to discuss Putin’s concerns about the matter. The fact that these efforts on the part of the Russian government are via public media instead of via private conversations (such as had been the means used during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, when the shoe was on the other foot and the U.S. President was concerned about the Soviet President’s installation of nuclear missiles 90 miles from the U.S. border) suggests that Mr. Obama, unlike U.S. President John Fitzgerald Kennedy in 1962, refuses to communicate with Russia, now that the U.S. is potentially in the position of the aggressor. Russia is making its preparations, just in case it will (because of the Aegis Ashore system) need to be the first to attack. However, some knowledgeable people on the subject say that Russia will never strike first. Perhaps U.S. President Obama is proceeding on the basis of a similar assumption, and this is the reason why he is refusing to discuss the matter with his Russian counterpart. However, if Mr. Obama wishes to avoid a nuclear confrontation, then refusing even to discuss the opponent’s concerns would not be the way to go about doing that. Obama is therefore sending signals to the contrary — that he is preparing a nuclear attack against Russia — simply by his refusal to discuss the matter. In this case, his action of refusal is, itself, an answer to Putin’s question, like slamming the door in Putin’s face would be. It’s a behavioral answer, instead of a merely verbal one. The geostrategist John Helmer discussed on May 30th the question of when the “Trigger Point” will likely be for Putin to decide whether there is no reasonable alternative but to launch — and for him then to launch — World War III.

Anchors Away -- Obama Sinks U.S. Navy

By Daniel John Sobieski

As China builds military bases on man-made islands in the South China Sea, the staggering decline in U.S. naval readiness was made clear when a group of Navy captains testified before an unusual joint hearing of the House Armed Services Committee’s sea power and readiness subcommittees last week. It was made clear that President Ronald Reagan’s 600-ship Navy is a distant memory as we return to the Jimmy Carter era of ships that can’t sail and planes that can’t fly for want of spare parts. This sad state of affairs is accomplishing what the Japanese Imperial Navy could not -- defeat the U.S. Navy and leave the seas increasingly open to hostile adversaries and leaving us increasingly unable to come to the aid of our remaining allies. As the Navy captains testified: “About every three months or so we would get a new schedule” for the submarine USS Albany, said Capt. Gregory McRae, deputy commander of Submarine Squadron Six. “Today, we are looking at a 43-month overhaul for a maintenance period that was supposed to last 28 months.” “Cannibalization” -- pulling scarce spare parts off one ship or plane to fix another about to deploy -- is now routine, the captains testified. For example, the USS Normandy has served as an organ donor for 13 different “mission critical” components over the last 45 days, crippling the anti-aircraft cruiser‘s radar. “I could not possibly surge right now” for an emergency deployment, testified Normandy skipper Capt. Scott Robertson. Naval air forces are in similar straits. Four of the Navy’s 10 carrier air wings are fully manned and equipped, but those four are the ones either deployed or about to deploy, said Capt. Randy Stearns. Getting one of the other six wings ready to go in an emergency would take six to 12 months, “three times as long” as when he was a young officer, Stearns said: “As of today, we don’t have that surge capacity.” Carrier Air Wing One will not have the funds or parts to fly at all for four months, Stearns testified. That will save $9 million to $13 million in the short run, but they’ll never get those months of training back, said Stearns. In the long term, “it’s going to take me three times the amount and three times the cost to get them back up to speed.” Compounding this crisis is the Budget Control Act, “We’ve never caught up” on the maintenance and training cancelled in 2013, said Capt. Stearns. Last year’s budget deal loosened the BCA caps for fiscal year 2016 but kept them $18 billion tighter for 2017. While it has been the media-accepted talking point of the Obama administration that sequestration was a bipartisan readiness suicide pact forced on it by the Congress, Investor’s Business Daily has pointed out that this myth has been demolished by reporter Bob Woodward of Watergate fame: If President Obama has an enemies list, Bob Woodward is probably at the top of it. After all, it was Woodward who started the unraveling of the president’s “sequestration apocalypse” mantra by confirming it was the White House’s idea in the first place. When President Obama said the “sequester is not something that I proposed,” he lied. His then-OMB Director Jack Lew, recently confirmed as Treasury Secretary, and White House Legislative Affairs Director Rob Nabors pitched the idea to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who pushed it, according to Woodward’s book, “The Price of Politics.” When Woodward called a senior White House official last week to tell him that, in a piece in that weekend’s Washington Post, he would question President Obama’s account of how sequestration came about, he said the Obama aide “yelled at me for about a half-hour,” ending with the Nixonesque warning, “I think you will regret staking out that claim.” That official was Gene Sperling, a top economic aide. Such willful neglect of the U.S. military by our commander-in-chief had geopolitical consequences. An editorial in the Global Times, a newspaper seen as a mouthpiece for hard-line nationalists in Beijing, warns of the consequences of resistance: “If the United States’ bottom line is that China has to halt these activities, then a U.S. China war is inevitable in the South China Sea.” As Investor’s Business Daily has noted: Beijing has long declared the South China Sea to be its territorial waters and has laid claim to two disputed chains: the Paracel Islands, about 200 miles from the coast of Vietnam, and the Spratly Islands in the southeastern part of the South China Sea. China's territorial ambitions include the Senkakus in the East China Sea, part of what Chinese military doctrine refers to as the "first island chain" that surrounds China. In the South China Sea, as of February, China had finished construction on no less than six different island reefs from which to project its power in the South China Sea. Included in its military effort is the construction of a 3,000 meters (9,842 feet) long runway on the artificially expanded Fiery Cross Reef as a base for Chinese fighter aircraft. According to Reuters, China's creation of artificial islands in the South China Sea is happening so fast that Beijing will be able to extend the range of its navy, air force, coastguard and fishing fleets before long, much to the alarm of rival claimants to the contested waters. Reclamation work is well advanced on six reefs in the Spratly archipelago, according to recently published satellite photographs and Philippine officials. In addition, Manila said this month that Chinese dredgers had started reclaiming a seventh. Naval commanders are worried that our ability to respond to such threats has been severely compromised by an Obama administration more concerned about rising sea levels than rising threats on those seas. The Navy captain’s Congressional testimony come after the Chinese announcement that it is building its second aircraft carrier to go along with a refurbished Soviet carrier, the Liaonng, commissioned by China in 2012 after extensive refitting of the 25-year-old vessel. As IBD has reported, the Liaoning is only the first step in the building of a blue-water navy capable of competing with our diminishing one, with Admiral Samuel J. Locklear III, chief of the U.S. Pacific Command, warning that the U.S. was losing its Pacific dominance to China: China's Communist Party-affiliated newspaper, Global Times, gloated over Locklear's warning, noting his remarks in a story beneath the headline "U.S. losing grip on Pacific: PACOM." In the Times story, Jin Canrong, a deputy dean of the School of International Studies at Renmin University of China, said the American admiral's comments recognize China as a rising military power. Indeed, it is. China has launched its first stealth drone, known as Sharp Sword, and is developing indigenous aircraft carriers. Its "two-ocean strategy" is based on the goal of building a fleet of five or six carrier battle groups. China's first battle group, led by its first carrier, the Liaoning, recently conducted a monthlong exercise that saw the refurbished Soviet-built flattop and her escorts sail south to the waters near Taiwan. During the exercise, a Chinese warship nearly collided with the guided missile cruiser USS Cowpens, which was shadowing the battle group. China is preparing for a naval confrontation with the United States. We may lose that confrontation in the South China Sea because the U.S. Navy is scavenging for spare parts.

Bill, White House staff lived in fear of Hillary: Ex-Secret Service officer

By Emily Smith 6-5-16

Hillary Clinton has a “Jekyll and Hyde” personality that left White House staffers scared stiff of her explosive — and even physical — outbursts, an ex-Secret Service officer claims in a scathing new tell-all. Gary Byrne, who was posted outside the Oval Office when Bill Clinton was president, portrays Hillary as too “erratic, uncontrollable and occasionally violent” to become leader of the free world, according to advance promotional materials exclusively obtained by Page Six. The allegations from Byrne, a 29-year veteran of the military and federal law enforcement, threaten to derail her campaign days before she is expected to clinch the Democratic presidential nomination. He describes Hillary Clinton as acting friendly one moment, then raging the next. “What I saw in the 1990s sickened me,” he writes in the intro of the book, “Crisis of Character: A White House Secret Service Officer Discloses his Firsthand Experience with Hillary, Bill, and How They Operate.” The book claims she repeatedly screamed obscenities at her husband, Secret Service personnel and White House staffers — all of whom lived in terror of her next tirade. Secret Service agents had discussions about the possibility that they would have to protect Bill from his wife’s physical attacks, Byrne writes, and the couple had one “violent encounter” the morning of a key presidential address to the nation. Meanwhile, a paranoid Hillary Clinton tried to have the Secret Service banned from the White House and once tried to ditch her security detail, Byrne says. “Hillary Clinton is now poised to become the Democratic nominee for president of the United States, but she simply lacks the integrity and temperament to serve in the office,” he writes. “From the bottom of my soul I know this to be true. And with Hillary’s latest rise, I realize that her own leadership style — volcanic, impulsive, enabled by sycophants, and disdainful of the rules set for everyone else — hasn’t changed a bit.” The book isn’t set for release until June 28, but pre-orders have sent it to No. 1 on Amazon’s best-seller list. Byrne — who was subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury that investigated Bill Clinton’s affair with intern Monica Lewinsky — claims in the book that he interrupted the president’s sexual shenanigans in the White House. Byrne says he walked into a room where the president was “involved inappropriately with a woman” who was neither his wife nor Lewinsky. And he says he once threw out a White House towel stained with a woman’s lipstick — and the president’s “bodily fluids.” Byrne describes arriving for work one day in 1995 following a loud fight between the Clintons the night before. The dust-up, he says, left a light blue vase “smashed to bits” and Bill sporting a “real, live, put-a-steak-on-it black eye.” Byrne’s book amplifies earlier allegations of mistreatment of Secret Service personnel by Hillary Clinton — including in 2014’s “First Family Detail” by former Washington Post reporter Ronald Kessler and last year’s “The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House,” which also detailed a fight between Bill and Hillary over the Lewinsky affair. Hillary Clinton’s campaign downplayed Byrne’s book and compared him to Edward Klein, author of last year’s “Unlikeable: The Problem with Hillary.” Play Video “Gary Byrne joins the ranks of Ed Klein and other ‘authors’ in this latest in a long line of books attempting to cash in on the election cycle with their nonsense,” spokesman Nick Merrill said. “It should be put in the fantasy section of the book store.” A spokeswoman for presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump suggested Byrne’s book would be grist for his campaign as prepares to face Clinton in the general election. “The issue of temperament is more a problem for Hillary Clinton,” said the spokeswoman, Katrina Pierson. “I don’t recall Mr. Trump ever screaming at the Secret Service, calling them pigs, throwing vases across the room and clawing the face of his spouse, which Hillary Clinton has been reported to do,” she told CNN.

Thirteen of 23 Co-Ops Created Under Obamacare Have Failed

Ohio’s In Health Mutual co-op is latest to fail after posting significant losses

BY: Ali Meyer June 2, 2016 12:45 pm

Ohio’s In Health Mutual co-op announced last week that it is going out of business, making it the 13th co-op to fail out of the 23 that were created under Obamacare. The Ohio Department of Insurance asked to liquidate the company, saying that the company was in a “hazardous financial condition.” The co-op served nearly 22,000 consumers who now have 60 days to find another policy offered by another company on the federal exchange. “Our examination of the company’s financials made it clear that the company’s losses would prevent it from paying future claims should its operations continue,” said Ohio Director of Insurance Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor. “Under Ohio law, we acted with certainty to protect the consumers.” The company recorded an underwriting loss of $80 million in 2015 despite the $129 million in taxpayer-backed loans granted to the co-op by the federal government. InHealth Mutual was also placed under “enhanced oversight,” one of three tools the Department of Health and Human Services has to monitor co-ops in financial distress. When a co-op is placed under enhanced oversight, it means the company is consistently underperforming and allows the department to give detailed and more frequent reviews of the loan recipient’s operations and financial status. According to Columbus Business First, medical claims were coming in at a rate of $3 million per week and the company would have had to raise premiums by 60 percent in 2017 to keep up. If InHealth Mutual were to stay in business through the end of 2016, projections show that the company would have posted losses of $20 million. Ohio’s failed co-op is added to the list of 12 co-ops that have already failed in Arizona, Michigan, Utah, Kentucky, New York, Nevada, Louisiana, Oregon, Colorado, Tennessee, South Carolina, and a co-op that served both Iowa and Nebraska. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services chief operating officer Mandy Cohen told lawmakers in February that eight of the 11 remaining Obamacare co-ops in operation were selected for “corrective action plans” and “enhanced oversight.” She did not disclose which co-ops were placed on these plans. A professor who specializes in economics and health insurance told lawmakers in March that closures of the remaining co-ops seem likely. “The future of the 11 co-ops still providing coverage in 2016 is uncertain, but future closures seem likely,” said Dr. Scott Harrington. “The 10 co-ops still operating with June 30 financials reported a cumulative loss of $202.3 million.” “Very little, if any, of the $1.24 billion in federal start-up and solvency loans to establish those co-ops will be repaid, and at least several will be unable to meet all of their obligations to policyholders and health care providers,” he said. The Department of Health and Human Services did not respond to requests for comment by press time.

Pensions may be cut to 'virtually nothing' for 407,000 people

by Katie Lobosco @KatieLobosco May 20, 2016: 2:03 PM ET

One of the biggest private pension funds in the country is almost out of money, and fresh out of options. The Central States Pension Fund has no new plan to avoid insolvency, fund director Thomas Nyhan said this week. Without government funding, the fund will run out of money in 10 years, he said. At that time, pension benefits for about 407,000 people could be reduced to "virtually nothing," he told workers and retirees in a letter sent Friday. In a last-ditch effort, the Central States Pension Plan sought government approval to partially reduce the pensions of 115,000 retirees and the future benefits for 155,000 current workers. The proposed cuts were steep, as much as 60% for some, but it wasn't enough. Earlier this month, the Treasury Department rejected the plan because it found that it would not actually head off insolvency. The fund could submit a new plan, but decided this week that there's no other way to successfully save the fund and comply with the law. The cuts needed would be too severe. Related: Treasury rejects pension cuts for 273,000 workers and retirees Normally, when a multi-employer fund like Central States runs out of money, a government insurance fund called the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) kicks in so that retirees still receive some kind of benefit. But that's not a great solution in this case. For one thing, the amount is smaller than what pensioners would have received under the Central States reduction plan, and is based on the number of years a retiree worked. A retiree would receive a maximum $35.75 a month for each year worked, according to the fund's website. (That amounts to $1,072.50 a month for retiree who worked 30 years.) But there's yet another problem. The PBGC itself is underfunded and isn't expected to be able to cover all the retirees in the Central States Pension Fund. "The fact that the ... PBGC is also running out of money means our participants may see their pension benefits ultimately reduced to virtually nothing when the fund runs out of money," Nyhan said in his letter. Only government funding, either to the Central States Fund directly or through the PBGC, can fix the problem, he said. The Central States Pension Fund covers workers and retirees from more than 1,500 companies across a range of industries, but most of its retirees were truck drivers. A lot of the fund's companies went bankrupt after the trucking industry was deregulated in the 1980s. That's part of the reason the fund is in trouble now. It's currently paying out $3 for every $1 it takes in. Related: Is your pension safe? These are the next funds to fail Although the Treasury Department rejected the proposed cuts, Secretary Jack Lew acknowledged that its decision does not resolve the problem. He urged Congress to address the remaining issues. Nyhan is also asking Congress to come up with a solution. But right now there's only one piece of legislation on the table that could help, he said. The bill was introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders last year, but never moved out of committee. It's called the Keep Our Pension Promises Act (KOPPA) and would provide more funding for the PBGC, specifically for struggling multi-employer plans. It would be paid for by closing a loophole in the estate tax and a tax break on sales of expensive art and other collectibles, according to Sanders' website.

Two California beaches forced to close after sightings of eight-foot-long sharks

A two-mile stretch of Orange County shoreline has been closed after several large sharks were spotted on Sunday

A sheriff's helicopter crew spotted sharks off Sunset Beach in Huntington Beach around 2pm

The sharks were estimated to be at least 8 feet long and 150 yards from shore

Fire department said Sunset Beach and the adjoining Surfside Beach in Seal Beach have been shut down until at least Monday morning

By Associated Press and Myriah Towner For Dailymail.com Published: 21:40 EST, 5 June 2016 | Updated: 01:54 EST, 6 June 2016

A two-mile stretch of Orange County shoreline has been closed after several large sharks were spotted. A sheriff's helicopter crew spotted the sharks off Sunset Beach in the city of Huntington Beach on Sunday around 2pm. The sharks were estimated to be at least 8 feet long and 150 yards from shore. A Huntington Beach Police Department helicopter then flew out around 3.30pm to surveillance the area and spotted the three sharks, according to the Orange County Register. 'Because of the size, we closed the water down,' Huntington Beach lifeguard Lt. Claude Panis told the Orange County Reigster. 'Our policy is to close the water down for at least four hours. The beach is open. We made adjustments, posted signs and we cleared the water out.' The Huntington Beach Fire Department said Sunset Beach and the adjoining Surfside Beach in Seal Beach have been shut down until at least Monday morning. Authorities will re-evaluate the waters on Monday morning to determine if they will open the shoreline up. The sighting came a week after a swimmer in a wetsuit was attacked by a shark about 15 miles to the south at Corona Del Mar State Beach on May 30. The woman, 52-year-old Maria Korcsmaros, had a bite from a large shark on her upper body, but she is expected to survive. She was pulled from the Pacific Ocean by lifeguards on a patrol boat on Sunday about 150 yards off the shore of Newport Beach after she was seen in distress. The shark that attacked her was not found. With the increase in great white sightings in the last few years, researchers who have been studying juvenile sharks off Sunset Beach said juveniles have a tendency to leave during the colder months. However, the researchers at Cal State Long Beach's Shark Lab said some have remained in the area as a result of warmer waters due to El Nino.

US unemployed have quit looking for jobs at a 'frightening' level: Survey

Jeff Cox | @JeffCoxCNBCcom Wednesday, 8 Jun 2016 | 10:25 AM ET

Nearly half of unemployed Americans have quit looking for work, and the numbers are even worse for the long-term jobless, according to a poll released Wednesday that paints a grim picture of the labor market. Some 59 percent of those who have been out of work for two years or more say they have stopped looking, the Harris Poll of unemployed Americans showed. Overall, 43 percent of the jobless said they have given up, according to the poll released in conjunction with Express Employment Professionals, a job placement service. "This is a tale of two economies," Express CEO Bob Funk said in a statement. "It's frightening to see this many people who could work say they have given up." The results come just a few days after a government report showed that the unemployment rate fell to 4.7 percent in May, but the drop came primarily because of a sharp decline in the labor force participation rate. The number of people of all ages whom the government considers "not in the labor force" swelled by 664,000 to a record 94.7 million Americans, according to Labor Department data. Job creation, after averaging more than 200,000 for much of the recovery, has slowed considerably this year. May saw just 38,000 new jobs, part of a trend in which payrolls have grown an average of 116,000 over the past three months and less than 150,000 for all of 2016. The greatest concentration of unemployment is in the 18-29 age group, which comprises one-third of all the jobless: Nearly half of unemployed Americans have quit looking for work, and the numbers are even worse for the long-term jobless, according to a poll released Wednesday that paints a grim picture of the labor market.

The unemployed are spending just 11.7 hours a week looking for work. More than half — 51 percent — say they haven't had a job interview since 2014. There's virtually no stand-out preference in the presidential race: 27 percent prefer presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, while 23 percent favor likely Republican standard-bearer Donald Trump. While much has been made over the decline in the labor force participation rate — at 62.6 percent, it is just off its lowest level since late 1977 — some economists think the fear is overdone. They argue that the drop is due in large part to an aging population, among other causes. "Almost all of the decline that we've seen over the last decade or so is due to three factors: retiring baby boomers just leaving the labor force, college students getting more education than ever and disability," Andrew Chamberlain, chief economist at job placement site Glassdoor, said in an interview. "I don't think it's particularly worrisome." There was one optimistic sign in the survey: 22 percent said the reason they are out of work is because they quit, up from 15 percent in 2014, a trend economists generally equate with a more mobile labor force. The Harris/Express poll was conducted from May 5-16 and surveyed 1,513 jobless Americans, and carries a 95 percent confidence level.

Israel Arrests Third Suspect in Tel Aviv Attack

VOA News Last updated on: June 09, 2016 7:48 PM

Israeli security forces have arrested a third suspect in Wednesday's terrorist attack in Tel Aviv that killed four and wounded five. Police captured him Thursday in the West Bank town of Yatta. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the suspect a collaborator with the two Palestinian cousins from Yatta alleged to have opened fire on diners and shoppers at a popular marketplace. Both were in police custody. As promised, Israel reacted strongly to Wednesday's attack, suspending travel permits for 83,000 Palestinians during the holy month of Ramadan. Netanyahu said police placed a quarantine around Yatta and canceled hundreds of work permits for members of the clan to which the suspects belong. The prime minister also said more security steps were planned, but he declined to give details. U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner said Thursday that Israel should avoid punishing those who have nothing to do with terrorism. "We certainly respect their [Israel's] desire to express outrage and to protect the safety of their people," Toner said. "But we would only urge any measure that it takes be done with the consideration towards the many innocent Palestinians who are simply trying to go about their daily lives." Toner again said there could never be any justification for terrorism. He said that the U.S. supported Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' statement denouncing attacks on civilians, but that it was deeply troubled by the statement from the militant Palestinian group Hamas celebrating the shootings. Hamas has not officially claimed responsibility for the shootings, but a Hamas official called them a "heroic operation." There were also celebrations in some Palestinian towns after the killings. Netanyahu said, "It only reminds us whom and what we're dealing with." Wednesday's shootings were carried out at the Sarona marketplace in central Tel Aviv, a popular gathering place for shopping and dining. Security footage broadcast on Israeli television showed frantic diners scrambling for safety between tables and overturned chairs as the shooting began. The gunmen, well-dressed in coats and ties, shot some of the victims at point-blank range. Israel has seen a relative lull in nine months of Palestinian attacks on Israeli civilians and police, which were sparked by rumors that Israel was planning to take over an East Jerusalem religious site sacred to Muslims and Jews.

Is Syria's Current Unraveling Tied to Biblical Prophecy?

By Billy Hallowell , Op-Ed Contributor June 9, 2016|7:40 am

Smoke rises after airstrikes on the rebel-held al-Sakhour neighborhood of Aleppo, Syria. April 29, 2016.

Are the biblical end times upon us? And, if so, what can we discern from the scriptures when it comes to the actual events that will comprise the so-called "end of the age?" These are just two of the central questions that I address in my newly released book, The Armageddon Code: One Journalist's Quest for End-Times Answers, as the text includes interviews with around 20 of the most prolific and thoughtful Bible experts about where they stand on a plethora of eschatological issues. The book tackles the oft-times contentious debate over the rapture, the tribulation, the Millennium, the possibility of a future Antichrist, the modern state of Israel and a number of other subjects related to the contemporary study of Bible prophecy. Presented through a journalistic lens, The Armageddon Code takes readers through the ins and outs of the debate, while more specifically offering believers the opportunity to check their own beliefs against experts' claims, and better understand why eschatology is a such a complex and multifaceted subject — one that continues to be hotly debated among Bible scholars. What follows is a sample chapter from the book titled, "Syria's Current Unraveling and Its Tie to Biblical Prophecy." The text focuses on the debate among some scholars over whether the current violence and chaos in Syria could be related to prophetic scriptures in the Books of Isaiah and Jeremiah: Is the world also about to see biblical prophecy come to fruition in Syria? Among others, Joel Rosenberg has questioned whether events inside the war-torn country in recent years are also related to prophecy, especially in light of what's found in Old Testament scriptures like Isaiah 17 and Jeremiah 49. "We're watching Damascus unravel...is that the prelude to the completion of those prophesies?" he rhetorically asked. "We don't know, but Damascus is the oldest continuously inhabited city on the planet . . . so the fact that it is coming apart is quite extraordinary." Following Russia's air strikes targeting rebels in Syria in October 2015, questions began reemerging in Evangelical circles about whether events surrounding the country's ongoing civil war, which began in 2011, were tied in any way to biblical prophecy. Rosenberg published a blog post in the wake of the air strikes claiming that Russian president Vladimir Putin is "working hand-in- glove with Iran's government" in formulating operations in Syria.3 It came the same week as reports that Iran was waging a ground attack, while Russia was carrying out assaults from the air. Rosenberg, as he did in interviews for this book and past exchanges with The Blaze on this same subject, specifically referenced the Old Testament in addressing the matter, invoking many of the themes that we dissected in previous chapters. "The Hebrew prophet Ezekiel wrote 2,500 years ago that in the 'last days' of history, Russia and Iran will form a military alliance to attack Israel from the north," Rosenberg wrote. "Bible scholars refer to this eschatological conflict, described in Ezekiel 38–39, as the 'War of Gog & Magog.'" He added, "Are these sudden and dramatic moves by Moscow and Tehran...simply coincidental, or [do they] have prophetic implications?" Rosenberg's question is at the center of the very debate surrounding Iran, Syria, and Russia and their perceived involvement in the end times — one that has attracted a great deal of attention both in Christian circles and in media over the years. The military alliance between Russia and Iran was also discussed by Laurie, who said that the "entrance of Russia . . . as an ally of Syria and Iran, and this alliance between Russia and Iran is a special interest in the Bible." He called the current alignments between Russia and Iran particularly notable, though he said that it is important to differentiate between the details he's certain of and those that he cannot definitively speak to. "I'm very careful when I teach Bible prophecy to not paint myself into a corner and say things that I can't be certain of," Laurie told me. "Do I know with 100 percent certainty that Gog is Russia? No, I do not." But, despite not being able to say with complete and utter confi- dence the identities of Gog and Magog, there are some elements sur- rounding Ezekiel that Laurie said he is most confident about. "Do I know that a force called Gog and Magog will march against Israel? Yes, I do. That's the way I teach it," he said. "I offer my views, but I always give myself a little wiggle room, because clearly people have thought other things in the past and have been wrong, so we want to be very careful to not say this is absolutely the interpretation unless the Bible is completely clear on the topic." Back in 2013 I first began dissecting this subject in a series for TheBlaze, speaking with experts about what role, if any, they believe Syria will play in eschatological scenarios. I noted at the time that there's one par- ticular Bible passage that's rekindling the entire discussion surrounding how Syria might fit into end-times theology: Isaiah 17:1–3. It reads, "See, Damascus will cease from being a city; it shall be a ruinous heap. The cities of Aroer are forsaken; they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and no one shall make them afraid. The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Aram; they shall be as the glory of the sons of Israel, says the Lord of Hosts." The Syria example is perhaps a perfect paradigm to see how those with different theological viewpoints approach the same texts in very different ways. Consider that the first portion about a "ruinous heap" has some wondering if the present Syria crisis was prophesied in the Bible, but some scholars have countered that Damascus was already destroyed and that this verse refers to an attack by the Assyrians that unfolded in 732 BC. Specifically noting Isaiah 17:1–3 and Jeremiah 49:23–27, Rosenberg explained in a separate 2013 blog piece that — despite some experts referencing the Assyrian attack — Damascus's destruction has not yet happened. Jeremiah 49:23–27 pledges judgment upon Damascus, pro- claiming that it has "become helpless" and that a fire will be kindled in its walls. "These prophecies have not yet been fulfilled. Damascus is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth. It has been attacked, besieged, and conquered," Rosenberg wrote. "But Damascus has never been completely destroyed and left uninhabited." The prophecy expert went on to explain that Isaiah 17 and Jeremiah 49 speak to prophetic judgments that he believes God will dole out on Israel's neighbors and enemies before and during the Tribulation period. A boy, whose brother was killed, reacts at a site hit by airstrikes in the rebel-controlled area of Maaret al-Numan town in Idlib province, Syria, June 2, 2016. While Rosenberg was definitive in this sense, he did note that the Bible is not specific, in his view, about how the city will be destroyed or what that event will look like. Additionally he noted that the implications of this destruction are not known either, as the Holy Book does not go into substantial detail on the matter. During a phone interview with TheBlaze in 2013, Rosenberg also explained Syria's significance in the Bible, again bringing up both Isaiah 17 and Jeremiah 49. Claiming that these predictions get "very little attention," he explained that they each speak about the future of Damascus: "The Bible indicates clearly that Damascus will be utterly and completely destroyed at some point in the future — it will be a great cataclysmal [event] and it will be part of God's judgment," Rosenberg said. He added that he doesn't see "clean hands in the fight" in Syria and wonders if it's possible "that the judgment of Damascus is not only coming" but if it could be coming within our lifetime. Not everyone is on board with the claim that the Old Testament could be describing future — or even current — events that will befall Syria. Hank Hanegraaff also spoke about supposed biblical prophecies associated with the end times back in 2013 on his radio show. A caller asked about claims that the Book of Isaiah details coming destruction for Damascus, the capital of Syria, a claim to which Hanegraaff pushed back. "So, what you're saying is they're tying in the passages in Isaiah to what is currently happening in Syria...and this is just a classic example of newspaper eschatology and shame on the pastors that are doing this, because it either is a case of them not knowing the Word of God, which seems unlikely to me, or simply wanting to invite sensationalism and sophistry," he responded. "If you look at what the Bible actually says, it is very clear that the fulfillment comes in the biblical text as well." And Hanegraaff wasn't done there. "This whole notion is fulfilled in biblical history when the king of the Assyria captured and destroyed Damascus...if you look at Isaiah chapter 7, there's a permutation of this as well...you see the fulfill- ment in the very next chapter, Isaiah chapter 8," he continued. Hanegraaff went on to say that some pastors' decisions to transport pieces of prophecy to the twenty-first century are irresponsible. He called the action "embarrassing" and said that those pastors and Bible experts who embrace the idea are "dragging Christ's name through the mud." He simply doesn't believe that, on these matters, the Bible's writers were looking so fervently into the future, and he contends that they were speaking about prophecy that would unfold in the immediate and that has already come to pass.19 "I think the point we have to probably recognize is that all of the Bible was written for us, but none of it was written to us," he contended. "This book of Revelation was written to seven churches." Hanegraaff said that end-times prophecy has been touted for centuries, but none of it ever comes to pass. Rather than reading the Scriptures for what they are, he believes that some theologians are "reading into the Scriptures their own eschatological views." Dr. Candida Moss, a professor of New Testament and early Christianity at the University of Notre Dame, also penned a 2013 article attempting to debunk claims that Damascus may play a role in end times. She said that the city has already been repeatedly conquered. "Isaiah lived and wrote in the eighth century BCE [BC] and scholars think that the original prophecy referred to the conquest of Damascus by the Assyrians in 732 BCE [BC]," she wrote. "But that's not the only time Damascus has seen conflict." Moss went on to list those who had conquered Damascus, including Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar and Alexander the Great. She also explained that, in the seventh century, Damascus was in the middle of a Muslim siege led by General Khalid ibn al-Walid. Later the Turco-Mongol armies of Timur conquered it around the turn of the fifteenth century, killing the entire population and apparently erecting a tower built with severed heads. In the end, the debate is fascinating, as both sides — comprised of individuals who believe in Christ and who contend that Jesus will one day return — couldn't disagree more about the alleged signs and symbols present within the Bible's complex text.

At least 20 killed in Damascus bomb attack

Saturday 11 June 2016 15.23

At least 20 people were killed and scores wounded in twin suicide and car bomb blasts in a Damascus suburb that contains Syria's holiest Shia Muslim shrine, state television said. The so-called Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack, the IS-affiliated Amaq news agency said. A Shia religious cleric on the state-run Ikhbariyah TV channel said the car bomb blast was not far from the shrine area in the main al-Taen street. US condemns attack on besieged Syrian town by Assad regime The United States has condemned Bashar al-Assad's Syrian regime, accusing it of bombing starving civilians just hours after they received a long-delayed UN aid shipment. Late on Thursday, the besieged rebel-held town of Daraya received its first United Nations food delivery since 2012, a lifeline for the suffering population. Shortly afterwards, according to a witness and human rights monitors, President Assad's forces bombarded the town, dropping indiscriminate barrel bombs from helicopters as residents shared food. "The Syrian regime conducted multiple barrel bomb attacks on Daraya this morning," US State Department spokesman Mark Toner said. "That came just hours after the UN convoy arrived," he told reporters. "Obviously such attacks are unacceptable in any circumstance but in this case they also hampered the delivery and distribution of badly needed assistance." Mr Toner said the fact that President Assad had allowed the convoy in to the town at all was "positive, but only a partial delivery and we would call for the rest of the supplies to be delivered as soon as possible". And he said that only the United Nations should decide where and when to distribute aid inside Syria and that the fate of hungry populations must not be left to the regime. Meanwhile, a separate inter-agency convoy entered Douma in rebel-held Eastern Ghouta near Damascus last night. UN mediator Staffan de Mistura, speaking to reporters on Thursday, said President Assad's government had approved UN land convoys to 15 of 17 government-besieged areas in June. Air drops remain an option if the convoys did not move, he said. Hussam Aala, Syria's ambassador to the UN in Geneva, said: "Discussions are still going on about one pending location. The rest were all approved." Access to al Waer in Homs province was still under discussion, he said. Around 1.9 tonnes of medicines for chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes as well as antibiotics, from the World Health Organization were on the delivery that entered Daraya. However, the government did not approve delivery of three burns kits that would have been enough to treat about 30 people with dressings and pain killers, rejecting them from the approved list, WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic said. There was also anger and frustration at the insufficient amount of food aid delivered, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported. The British-based group tracks the war using sources on the ground. It cited the Daraya local council as saying the supplies brought in would not last two weeks. The council said the population of Daraya is over 8,000 - more than double what the UN estimates.  Source: AFP/Reuters

Al Qaeda's al-Zawahiri purportedly pledges allegiance to new Taliban chief

By Merieme Arif, CNN Updated 7:50 AM ET, Sat June 11, 2016

Who are the Taliban in 2016? 01:35

(CNN) A man purporting to be al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri pledged allegiance to the new Taliban leader Mawlawi Haibatullah Akhundzada in a recently released audio statement. "As the Emir of al Qaeda jihadist group, I present our allegiance to you," say the man's voice, which sounds like al-Zawahiri's. The statement was purportedly recorded on May 27. But CNN couldn't independently verify the message's authenticity. READ: Isolated bin Laden struggled to keep his bodyguards The statement appears to have been released through social media channels. Last month, the Taliban named Akhundzada to lead the Afghan militant group. The selection came after his predecessor Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansour was killed in a drone strike in Pakistan. The man purporting to be al-Zawahiri said in the message that the jihadist group was "sad" over the death of Mansour. He praised the dead leader for fighting against what he called "Russian and Christian crusaders" and for "dying a martyr after a long history of jihad."

Evangelicals give Trump stamp of approval

By Jonathan Swan June 10, 2016, 03:04 pm

Donald Trump was held up as the only choice for evangelical voters this November at a high-profile conference where faith leaders gave the presumptive Republican nominee their stamp of approval.

Trump received a nearly minute-long standing ovation at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority conference in Washington on Friday and was presented to the audience as the principled choice for Christian voters in the general election. Evangelical leader Ralph Reed, the chairman of Faith & Freedom and a leading political figure on the Christian right for decades, delivered a biblically minded rationale for voting Trump over Hillary Clinton. Describing Trump as a “good friend,” Reed confronted head on the faith community’s doubts about Trump’s personal morality, telling the audience that they shouldn’t be searching for perfection in their political leaders. Reed said there’s only one example of perfection in human history “and that’s Jesus Christ.” “Unlike a lot of our friends on the other side, we’re not looking for a political Messiah,” Reed said. “Because we already have a Messiah.” Reed said evangelical voters have an obligation not to stay home this November and rejected the argument by some values voters that they wouldn't vote because they see Clinton and Trump as a choice between two evils. Reed said that was demonstrably untrue because of Trump’s positions on abortion, gay marriage and the list he released of socially conservative Supreme Court nominees. Clinton, Reed added, supports “abortion on demand for any reason at all or for no reason at all.” He then listed what he said were her unacceptable views on gay marriage and other issues of importance to the Christian right. “That’s what’s on the ballot and we cannot escape the choice that’s before us,” Reed said. He added, in an apparent reference to Trump, that they serve an Almighty God who “uses imperfect people to achieve his perfect will.” While Trump won a plurality of evangelical voters during the GOP primaries, he needs millions more to turn out for him in the general election. Some social conservatives — including a number who voted for Ted Cruz over Trump in the primaries — still cannot bring themselves to support a candidate who curses in public and has made derogatory remarks about women. Trump tried to live up to Reed's billing in his speech Friday. It was a lower key, humbler Trump at the Omni Shoreham hotel. He used a teleprompter for the speech and delivered scripted lines that sounded like a conventional politician. “Together, friends, we will chart a new optimistic course for America,” Trump said. “We will restore faith to its proper mantle in society.” Trump even tried to show grace toward Code Pink protesters who interrupted his speech. As the women were escorted out by security, shouting about how terrible they thought Trump’s refugee policies were, the real estate tycoon didn’t say he wished he could punch them in the face, as he did about protesters during the primary season. Instead, Trump told the crowd that the protesters were expressing their rights of “freedom of speech. ”When the protestors were kicked out, audience members chanted “Trump! Trump! Trump!” and “USA! USA! USA!” One man chanted, “Build that wall! Build that wall!” And even Trump's proposed wall got its evangelical stamp of approval on Friday.

Palestinians Cheer Tel Aviv Slaughter

How Israel's "peace partners" react when women and children are ruthlessly murdered.

June 10, 2016 Ari Lieberman

The calm in Tel Aviv was shattered Wednesday night when two Arab gunmen in their 20s from the Palestinian Authority-controlled village of Yatta drew automatic weapons and began to systematically gun down every civilian in sight. When the carnage was over, four people – two men and two women – were dead and about a dozen others were wounded, three of them critically. Both terrorists were caught alive, though one sustained serious wounds during his apprehension. Israeli doctors performed life-saving emergency surgery on him while his victims were either dead or dying. The blood on the pavement hadn’t even dried before “Palestinians,” as is their custom, celebrated the “heroic Tel Aviv operation.” In Palestinian lexicon, terrorist attacks targeting innocent civilians – men, women and children – are routinely referred to as “heroic” or “martyrdom operations.” As Israelis were burying their dead, celebratory fireworks were going off in Hamas-controlled Gaza while elsewhere, in the PA-controlled West Bank, Palestinian Arabs were cheering and passing out sweets in recognition of their comrades’ bestial slaughter. Even the so-called “moderate” Palestinian President for Life, Mahmoud Abbas, couldn’t bring himself to call the Tel Aviv massacre, “terrorism” or “murder.” Instead, all he was able to muster was half-hearted disapproval. He issued a repulsive and disingenuous statement noting that the PA is opposed “to any ‘operation’ that harms civilians by anybody, regardless of the justifications.” Note use of the word “operation” to describe wanton violence and depravity. The Obama administration predictably gave Abbas a free pass and did not bother challenging his fake and rather pathetic statement of disapproval. This is an administration that has time and again failed to hold the PA to normal standards of morality and have them account for their aberrant behavior. Instead, the administration is besotted by Israeli “settlements” as though this was the cause of all the world’s ills. The administration deceitfully overlooks the fact that blame for this terror attack and many others rests squarely on the shoulders of Abbas and his Palestinian Authority which encourages incitement through official and unofficial channels. In every Palestinian venue and forum, in print and social media, Jews are routinely referred to as apes, pigs, monkeys, thieves and child killers. Ironically, the attack comes on the heels of several Israeli goodwill gestures to the Palestinians, including the issuance of nearly 90,000 travel permits, allowing Palestinians to travel to Israel in deference to the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The Palestinians in turn responded by blowing people away in a café, giving new meaning to the old adage of “no good deed goes unpunished.” Truth Revolt’s Tiffany Gabbay described the terrorists as worse than animals “because even animals do not kill for sadistic pleasure.” That assessment is accurate. The horrific CCTV footage of the attack reveals the true depths of their depravity. After shooting a civilian, who is seen lying motionless on the floor, one of the terrorist is observed gratuitously throwing a heavy object directly on the man’s head, causing the lifeless body to jolt. It was a sickening sight even by Palestinian standards of depravity. More troubling however, is the jubilant reaction from the Palestinian street. This is a society that revels in gore and bloodshed. It is a society that celebrates death – death of Jews and of American citizens. Following the September 11 attacks that resulted in the deaths of 3,000 people, Palestinians cheered. Old women were seen ululating while men danced, clapped, chanted Allahuakbar (what else?) and handed out sweets to mark the “joyous” event. Following the Boston Marathon bombing, they repeated the macabre spectacle, reveling in the murder of innocents. Arab apologists have attempted to justify the attacks, placing the blame not on the attackers but rather their victims, obscenely claiming that the “occupation” prompted the terrorists to act like bloody savages. They should be reminded however, that there was no “occupation” in 1920, 1921, 1929 and 1936 when Arabs perpetrated violent pogroms against Jewish citizens living under the British mandate. Those advocating for Palestinian statehood and independence should take note of Palestinian societal responses to acts of barbarism and savagery. Societies are capable of producing monsters but their deviant actions are reviled and condemned by the majority. But in the Palestinian case, the opposite holds true. They take pleasure in hearing news of butchery inflicted on civilians. It happened after 9-11. It happened after the Boston marathon attack and it happened after the Tel Aviv café attack. A society that collectively cheers when women and children are ruthlessly murdered and revels in gore and death is undeserving of statehood. This macabre mindset represents the single largest obstacle to peace and until it can be altered, negotiations are pointless.

Israel sets 3-day closure on West Bank ahead of Shavuot

The holiday celebrations, in conjunction with the deadly terror attack at Tel Aviv's Sarona Market on Wednesday, have contributed to a tense atmosphere, causing Israeli authorities to impose the strict measure on Palestinian travel.

Associated Press, Ynetnews & Reuters Published: 06.10.16, 15:58 / Israel News

The Israeli military says the West Bank will be closed off until the end of the Jewish holiday of Shavuot due to security concerns following a Palestinian shooting attack this week that killed four Israeli civilians. It said Friday that crossings will be open for "humanitarian" cases and for Palestinians to worship at al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. It said Friday that crossings will be open for "humanitarian" cases and for Palestinians to worship at al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. Police are on high alert in Jerusalem as thousands of Palestinians are expected for prayers on the first Friday of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The holy site has been a flashpoint of violence in the past, and tensions are especially high after Palestinian gunmen killed four Israelis in a shooting at a popular Tel Aviv tourist spot on Wednesday. The military says the closure will end Sunday night after the Shavuot holiday. Minister of Public Security Gilad Erdan and Israel Police Commissioner Roni Alsheikh gave statements to the press on Friday. "I have instructed the police to significantly reinforce their presence in places where many people gather. Operations against illegal aliens are constantly ongoing, and we will continue to exert the full power of the law with anyone who gives shelter, employs, or aids an illegal alien and does not report (them) to the police. Following the attack, steps were taken, which we reported to the police," Erdan said. Alsheikh added, "The distinction we make between terrorists and the (general) population is an important one, and we do everything so that we do not confuse (the two)... We will give (people) the feeling of security, in areas where there are no warnings or concrete concerns of terrorist attacks, but civilians, naturally, want to feel secure and the police pays a price (for that). This is a blanket that must be stretched where it's right to do so as far as answers to concrete threats is concerned, and as far as a feeling of security is concerned." When asked by the press about the investigation of Wednesday's attack, Alsheikh said that "There is a gag order, and we are certainly obligated (to follow it)." UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein condemned the Sarona Market attack but is deeply concerned about the revoking of permits "which may amount to prohibited collective punishment and will only increase the sense of injustice and frustration felt by Palestinians in this very tense time", spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani told a news briefing. "Israel has a human rights obligation to bring those responsible to account for their crimes. And this it is doing. However the measures taken against the broader population punish not the perpetrators of the crime, but tens - and maybe hundreds - of thousands of innocent Palestinians," Shamdasani said.

Deaths of Despair

by Hal Lindsey

Last week, the Centers for Disease Control issued a report on a growing phenomenon among white people in America — rising deaths from drug and alcohol abuse, diseases related to those addictions, and to suicide. The problem is so severe that it’s having a significant impact on average life expectancy. Anne Case, a Princeton University researcher, aptly called the phenomenon, “deaths of despair.” The study focused on whites, but it’s obvious that “deaths of despair” are rising among all ethnic groups. Since the report came out, journalists have been interviewing academics to find out what’s behind the phenomenon. The experts generally point to shrinking economic opportunity as the culprit. While economic distress can trigger such problems, it does not address the underlying issue. To find the answer, we have go back to age-old questions, and look at how twenty-first century Americans are answering them. In the first Star Trek movie, the character of Spock said, “Each of us, some time in our lives, turns to someone — a father, a brother, a god — and asks, ‘Why am I here? What was I meant to be?’” Government is ill-equipped to answer such questions. Though they often try, academia and the media also fail when confronted with these most basic questions of human existence. Their problem is that they have made materialism both their religion and their god. It leaves them with an empty, sterile universe. They see the cosmos as a remarkable accident that begat an even more remarkable series of accidents — eventually making the human race. And that’s it. The further they go in this direction, the greater the despair. In 1977, science fiction author Philip K. Dick said, “We are living in a computer-programmed reality.” That notion, still relatively obscure in the 70s, became the basis for the hit 1999 film, “The Matrix.” In 2003, Oxford Professor Nick Bostrom published a paper entitled, “Are You Living in A Computer Simulation?” His paper fired the imaginations of college students everywhere. Then, just a few days ago, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Motors, told Recode’s Code Conference, “There’s a one in billions chance that this is base reality.” In other words, this brilliant, highly influential man is virtually certain that all our lives are taking place within someone’s computer simulation. Do you see what’s happening? These “brilliant people” no longer believe in their own reality. The removal of the “being” from “the human” also happens in other ways. In 2011, Bruce Hood wrote the book, The Self Illusion: Why There is No ‘You’ Inside Your Head. He argues, along with Buddhists and a whole generation of neuroscientists, that “there is no real you” — that “self” is an illusion. Late in his life, Nobel Prize winning molecular biologist Francis Crick wrote, “‘You,’ your joys and your sorrows, your memories and your ambitions, your sense of personal identity and free will, are in fact no more than the behavior of a vast assembly of nerve cells and their associated molecules.He said, in effect, that the things that make you uniquely you are not even real. You are a machine and you do as you’re programmed. Remember, these are not the random thoughts of the lunatic fringe. They represent the mainstream within academic circles. And their thinking forms the basis of our modern view of reality. Look at entertainment. It is permeated by a sense of meaninglessness. The only things that fully engage modern cinematic heroes are fear and rage. It’s as if they’re searching for something human somewhere inside — of themselves, and their audience. Secular humanism tries to turn human beings into gods, but it does the opposite. Instead of gods, we become nothing at all — bereft of value and purpose. The road that begins with denying God, ends in denying our own existence as free and real moral agents. Concepts such as meaning and hope wither in an environment without God. The first chapter of Romans talks about nature giving evidence of God to all people. Then it says, “When they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. … Even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind.” (Romans 1:21-22, 28 KJV) The equation for understanding reality begins with God. If we reject Him, we begin a journey that will take us terrible places of horrible emptiness — more desolate than we ever dreamed. It happens because we forget a simple Proverb. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” (Proverbs 1:7 NASB) Those who reject God wind up exchanging hope, meaning, and purpose for the bare, animal pursuit of survival. It leaves only despair, and that despair is killing people right now. The only hope is to wrap ourselves around the love of God and to receive Jesus Christ’s forgiveness through His shed blood for us on the cross. Receive His forgiveness and invite Him into your heart NOW. You can change your eternal destiny forever by doing that right now. For the first time you can begin to learn the certainty of God’s eternal life and reality as He progressively teaches you the truth.

Orlando Pulse nightclub shooting: About 20 dead in act of terrorism, police say

June 12 2016

Twenty people are dead after a shooting at Orlando's Pulse nightclub in what investigators are calling an act of terrorism, Orlando Police Chief John Mina said at a morning news conference. A gunman took scores of people hostage overnight inside the nightclub between 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.; about 42 people were taken to area hospitals, Mina said. Officers killed the gunman, who has not been identified, in a shoot out and referred to him as a "lone wolf." He was carrying an assault rifle, a handgun and was possibly wearing an explosive "device." The Orange County Sheriff's Office hazardous device team is now searching the area. About 30 people were "saved during the rescue," Mina said. About 320 people were in the club when the hostage situation unfolded. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is leading the investigation. Agent Ron Hopper said they cannot rule this out as an act of domestic terrorism and that the suspect, who is not from Orlando, may have leanings toward extreme Islamic ideologies. Authorities said there is no indication of future attacks in Florida or across the nation. Mina said the situation is not related to a separate shooting Friday inside The Plaza Live theater in Orlando, where a man opened fire, killing former NBC's "The Voice" contestant Christina Grimmie and himself. Some victims were transported to Orlando Health, which established a family information center early this morning, asking family members to go to at 52 West Underwood St. Several family members stood outside the North entrance of ORMC awaiting news. Kenneth Melendez and his friends were at the club when the shooting happened. Four of his friends were shot and were at ORMC, he said. "It's just something that you see in the movies but never think would happen to you," he said. "At first, when I heard the shots I thought it was part of the music, but then we realized it was really happening. I started running and saw someone bleeding from the arm and I was like wow this is really happening and I kept running." He said he went to Pulse often because it was a "safe environment where you could express yourself ... Not anymore." Some family members standing outside ORMC said that certain floors were on lockdown and only immediate families of shooting victims could get in. Florida Hospital wouldn't confirm if any patients have been transported there this morning, but said they can check on names for families. In the early morning, dozens of emergency vehicles surrounded the chaotic scene at the club at 1912 S. Orange Ave. after the 2 a.m. shooting and rescue squads were transporting multiple victims to area hospitals. Witnesses said they heard at least 40 shots fired inside the club. Police reported just before 6 a.m. that the shooter inside the club was dead. Mina said his officers exchanged gunfire with the suspect in two shootings. Nine officers were involved in the shooting and one sustained an injury to his head and was saved by his helmet. At 5 a.m. authorities used an explosive device to distract the gunman, then authorities plowed through the club with a vehicle. Afterward, the Orlando Fire Department called for its bomb squad and hazardous material team to the scene after 3 a.m. Police K-9 dogs are searching the area around nearby Orlando Regional Medical Center with an armed deputy in head-to-toe military gear. Just after the shooting, Pulse Orlando's posted a note to its own page that said, "Everyone get out of pulse and keep running." The popular gay bar was full of people at the time of the incident. Emotional witnesses and family members of those who were in the club surrounded the area after shots rang out. One witness said the shooting lasted the duration of an entire song. It was Christopher Hansen's first visit to the club. The 32-year-old moved to Orlando about two months ago and went to meet someone for a "Latin night." He said he was near the front door of the bar when the shooting started. "I just fell down and crawled out," he said. "People were trying to escape out the back of the club." "I helped someone who was on the ground. I wasn't sure if he was dead or alive," he said. "I was like 'hey are you OK?'" He remembered hearing more than 40 shots, and siad the shooting continued as people ran from the bar. Police were yelling for him and others to get out. He said he took off a bandanna that was wrapped around his head, tied it in a knot and stuck it in the bullet wound in the man's back. Another witness, Rosie Feba, said she took her girlfriend to the club for the first time Saturday night. It was near closing time. "She told me someone was shooting. Everyone was getting on the floor," Feba said. "I told her I didn't think it was real, I thought it was just part of the music, until I saw fire coming out of his gun." Feba and her girlfriend ran out of the club. On the way out, they saw a man who had been shot. Feba grabbed him. Others around her called 911. Some of the man's blood stained the sleeve of her striped T-shirt. Both Feba and her girlfriend were unharmed, but shaken. They waited in a CVS parking lot for more information.

Mr. President, You Disgust Me

by Wayne Allyn Root13 Jun 20164,827 SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER

I’ve known for eight long years what a poor excuse for a man we have as a President. I’ve known for eight long years what a deep dark hole he is leading this country down. I’ve known for eight long years that he is either mentally unstable, incredibly ignorant, or an extreme Muslim sympathizer like we’ve never seen in the White House. I hope other Americans are waking up after the pathetic Presidential address to the nation about the Orlando Islamic terror attack. It’s time to talk frankly. Obama’s speech was the most insulting, revolting & embarrassing speech EVER by an American president. It made me sick to my stomach. Obama is the commander-in-chief. He certainly knows far more than an average citizen like me…certainly far more than the journalists on Fox News or CNN. Obama knows what the FBI chief knows…what the Orlando Police Chief knows…what the CIA knows…what military intelligence knows. His press conference was even pushed back by 30 minutes. Obviously he wanted the absolute latest intelligence. Yet at the moment he walked to the podium I already knew… A) The mass murderer was Muslim. B) He pledged allegiance to ISIS C) ISIS itself warned publicly 3 days earlier about a pending terrorist attack in Florida D) The murderer called 911 to give credit to ISIS before walking into the gay nightclub.. E) He yelled “Allah Akbar” before opening fire Only minutes after Obama was done with his pathetic address to the nation, it was reported that ISIS actually took credit for the attack. That was also undoubtedly known to him when he walked to that podium too. Yet with all of those facts at hand… Obama still did not mention the words “Islamic” or “Muslim” or even “Radical Islam” in the entire address to the nation. No mention was ever made of the religion or background of the worst mass murderer in United States history. Obama still would not say the words “Islamic” and “terror attack” in the same sentence. Obama still would not assign blame to Islam, or radical Islam, or Jihad. He knew exactly at that moment in time what this attack was. But he could not bring himself to mention those words. It’s just impossible for our President to ever assign blame to Islam. But he was certainly angry. Steam was clearly coming out of his ears because he had to admit the attack was in fact “terrorism.” We’ve been through this so many times before- he’s always quick to blame guns or Republicans, but the word “terrorism” rarely ever comes out of his mouth. But this time was different. All the facts were in. This was 100% ISIS verified before Obama walked to that podium. So he had to admit it was a “terror attack.” Even Obama knew he couldn’t avoid that. That had to burn him. He looked so angry and shocked that I half expected a Muslim prayer to end his speech. I could almost hear “Salaam Alaikum” rattling around in his brain. I know Obama, my old Columbia college classmate, like the back of my hand. I waited for the old tried and true liberal attack on guns. Obama didn’t disappoint. He had his usual hissy fit about guns being to blame. It was the gun’s fault. It had to be. The man who picked it up was a Muslim. We are under attack by radical Islam, most of the time by lone wolf attackers like this one- where one law-abiding American citizen with a gun could end the attack and save many lives. But amazingly, Obama’s only impulse is to disarm us. Obama and his socialist cabal want to disarm the innocent victims, leaving us helpless to defend ourselves. Just absorb a few of these facts about Obama and his Muslim connection: Obama is a man who wants to rush the process of importing more Muslims refugees into the USA (even military age males from war zones), even though his own Homeland Security Chief warns we cannot vet them. Obama’s not just purposely importing Muslims, he’s bringing them in at a record pace. Obama refuses to secure the border, even though Muslim terror cells are surely entering the USA hidden amongst the hordes of illegals from Mexico and Central America. Obama is a man who brings in twice the number of immigrants from Muslim nations versus European nations. Obama is the man who cut $2.6 billion in funding for U.S. veterans, while at the same time adding $4.5 billion to the budget to relocate Syrian refugees to America. Obama is the man who is obsessed with disarming Americans, at the exact same time he arms Muslim terrorists- remember he recently handed back to the terrorist state Iran $150 billion PLUS interest to buy weapons that will be used to murder Americans, Israelis and other Westerners. Obama is the man who has claimed that terrorists have “legitimate grievances.” Obama is the man who refused to use the word “Muslim” at a terrorism summit. But remarkably he opened that summit with a Muslim prayer. Obama is the man who claimed “Islam” has been woven into our country’s fabric from the first days of America. Obama is the man who refused to meet with Israel’s Prime Minister during a U.S. visit, but found time to meet with head of a Muslim country (Qatar) that supports terrorism during that same week. Let’s never forget this is the man who refused to place the U.S. flag at the White House at half-mast for almost a week after a terror attack at a U.S. military base. But on Sunday after a mass murder of gays, Obama ordered the White House flag to be lowered almost instantly. You couldn’t make this stuff up in a fiction movie. You’d be laughed out of Hollywood. Obama’s actions are revolting. His address to the nation on Sunday was both embarrassing and insulting. But more importantly, it was telling. No true American could or would EVER give speech like that. Mr. President, you disgust me. It’s time for Obama to resign from office, or be removed forcefully by a United States Congress with balls. Oh and one other thing… Pray for President Donald J. Trump.

Ramadan Massacre in Orlando At least 50 dead and 53 wounded.

June 13, 2016 Robert Spencer

It was the worst mass shooting ever on American soil: Omar Mateen, 29, opened fire at the Pulse, an Orlando, Florida gay nightclub, on Saturday night. Mateen murdered at least fifty people and wounded another 53. The death count is almost certain to go higher, as many are quite gravely wounded. Mateen was a Muslim who had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State and mentioned the Boston Marathon jihad killers in a 911 call just before he started shooting. Thus in the wake of the jihad massacre, it was time for the Leftist political and media elites to do what they always do first and foremost after every jihad massacre: make sure that no one thought ill of Islam. The FBI, to its credit, immediately declared the massacre a terror attack, but Barack Obama was circumspect about what kind: he declared that it was too early to know “the precise motivations of the killer.” This despite the fact that not only had Mateen pledged allegiance to the Islamic State and made reference to the Tsarnaev brothers, but also the Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack, and the FBI is investigating reports that Mateen recited Islamic prayers during the massacre. On top of all that, the attack took place during the Muslim month of Ramadan, during which the Islamic State has called for jihad attacks against Americans. Nonetheless, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, along with many other Leftists, tried to turn the jihad attack into a commercial for rolling back Americans’ Second Amendment rights, tweeting: “We mourn with the people of Orlando and the LGBT community as a whole on the news that -once again- we have lost precious lives to the gun.” Who knew that guns could be so diabolical and anti-gay? Leftist responses ranged from the ominous to the absurd. Ominously, Facebook and Reddit turned to censorship to try to prevent people from thinking ill of Islam. Facebook removed the Stop Islamization of America (SIOA) page, which had been up for six years and had over 55,000 members, and Reddit began banning people who dared to mention that the killer was a Muslim. On the absurd side, ACLU staff attorney Chase Strangio tweeted that the massacre was the fault of conservative Christians: “You know what is gross — your thoughts and prayers and Islamophobia after you created this anti-queer climate.” Does the illustrious Strangio actually believe that Omar Mateen was incited to commit mass murder in the gay nightclub in Orlando by an “anti-queer climate” created by Christian conservatives? He probably does, since, as a Leftist, he knows that non-Muslims are always and everywhere to blame for atrocities that Muslims commit. Not only are non-Muslims to blame for Muslim atrocities, but Muslims are their victims, even when no Muslims are killed. AFP reported that “Florida officials also invited a local Islamic leader to address the media in a bid to preempt a possible backlash against the Muslim community.” Imam Muhammad Musri of the Islamic Society of Central Florida warned against “sensationalizing” the story.

The Latest Islamist Attack: 49 Dead in Orlando

Mark Alexander · Jun. 12, 2016

Islamic cultures worldwide are as “tolerant” of homosexuals as they are of women, so it was no surprise to learn that the murder of 49 people and wounding of more than 50 others in a homosexual bar in Orlando Sunday was committed by a radical Islamist. Omar Saddiqui Mateen was the son of Afghan immigrants. Born in New York, he was a divorced security guard prior to the assault. After the attack, his father posted a video message noting that his son should have refrained because “God himself will punish those involved in homosexuality.” The FBI agent in charge, Ron Hopper, said the assailant bragged about “having ties to terrorist organizations.” He added in the most politically correct phrasing, “We do have suggestions that that individual may have leanings toward that particular ideology.” Now, what “particular ideology” that might be? Mateen was interviewed three times during two FBI investigations in 2013 and 2014. The assailant called 911 and swore allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State shortly after his initial assault. Peter King (R-NY), Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, confirmed the connections between Mateen and ISIL, and the Islamic State claimed credit for inspiring the attack. I have spent a few years consulting with counterterrorism analytical groups over the course of the last five presidential administrations. While the focus of those groups has always been the prevention of WMD attacks — and Obama’s Iran deal certainly ratchets up the potential of that threat vector — the most likely terrorist threats have always been low-tech. As I wrote in “Islamic Jihad — Target USA,” “The most likely near-term form of attack against civilians on our turf will be modeled after the conventional Islamist assaults in the Middle East — bombings and shootings, as we have now seen in Paris, London, Berlin, Brussels, Sydney, Toronto, Boston, New York and Washington. These attacks were low tech but effective in terms of instilling public fear.” Indeed, the 9/11 attacks started with box cutters, and subsequent attacks at Fort Hood, Boston, Chattanooga, San Bernardino and now, Orlando have all been low-tech. Predictably, Barack Obama used the tragedy to pander and promote his “gun control” agenda. “[W]e know enough to say that this was an act of terror and an act of hate,” declared Obama. But, he added, “We’ve reached no definitive judgment on the precise motivations of the killer.” Yet he certainly had reached a definitive judgment on the course of action: “The shooter was apparently armed with a handgun and a powerful assault rifle. This massacre is therefore a further reminder of how easy it is for someone to get their hands on a weapon that lets them shoot people in a school, or in a house of worship, or a movie theater, or in a nightclub. And we have to decide if that’s the kind of country we want to be. And to actively do nothing is a decision as well.” The words “Muslim” and “Islam” never crossed his lips. Fact is, Obama is the one “actively doing nothing” — about radical Islamic terror. Hillary Clinton joined in, saying, “This was … an act of hate. The gunman attacked an LGBT nightclub during Pride Month. To the LGBT community: Please know that you have millions of allies across our country. I am one of them. … [W]e need to keep guns like the ones used [in Orlando] out of the hands of terrorists or other violent criminals. This is the deadliest mass shooting in the history of the United States and it reminds us once more that weapons of war have no place on our streets.” Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, who just gave voting rights to murderers still in prison, tweeted, “Praying for victims, families & an end to senseless gun violence.” The Left media was no different. MSNBC’s Joy Reid declared, “Whether it’s a hate crime or whether it’s related to something related to international terrorism, we’re not getting to the core issue, which is how easy it is to get a gun.” Memo to the Demo-gogues and MSM pundits: The assailant is a “murderer,” not a “gunman.” The attack occurred in a “gun free” zone. And if Obama could wave his executive “magic wand” and remove all firearms from the United States, may I remind you that Islamists worldwide have murdered far more civilians with simple bomb components. Recall that there were more than three times the number of casualties in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing by a couple of deranged psychopaths, than in Orlando. That bomb was composed of readily available fertilizer and diesel fuel. Again, this is not a “gun problem,” and for the record, tens of millions of innocent men women and children have been slaughtered once their means of self-defense was confiscated. See Stalin, Hitler, Mao, et al. Oh, and if not blaming guns, leftists were also blaming Christians. ACLU staff attorney Chase Strangio (aptly named), declared, “The Chrisitan Right has introduced 200 anti-LGBT bills in the last six months and people blaming Islam for this. No.” And a couple of footnotes: First, don’t buy any of the “lone wolf” rhetoric — Islamic terrorist assailants worldwide are tied to one ideology: Islam. Second, it is worth noting that an Islamist imam, who preached that it was merciful to murder homosexuals, came to Orlando in April of this year. And a final note on Obama’s constituents — Mateen was a registered Democrat voter. Our prayers are with the families of the dead and wounded.

Gaffney: Jihad in Orlando

by Frank Gaffney12 Jun 20161,266

SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER

At 2 a.m. this morning, a man who law enforcement sources have identified as Omar Mir Seddique Mateen, a U.S. citizen born of Afghan parents, opened fire with an automatic weapon in a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Before he was killed by police, he murdered at least 20 individuals and wounded dozens more. The death toll could rise further. The FBI reportedly suspects that the shooter may have “leanings towards radical Islamic terrorism.” Some accounts indicate that he was, like so many so-called “lone wolves,” actually a “known wolf” – a jihadist already identified as a potential threat by authorities, but allowed to continue to operate. Now that latitude appears to have translated into the murder and wounding of dozens of gay people, an action consistent with the teachings of the totalitarian Islamic supremacist doctrine known as sharia, which requires its adherents to hate and kill homosexuals. A posting last night at CounterJihad.com shows that the genesis of this practice is found in a hadith which has Muhammad saying that “whomever you find doing the actions of the people of Lot, kill the one doing it, and the one it is done to.” While the authorities of Islam disagree about what is the preferred way to kill gays and lesbians – throwing them off buildings, hanging them, burning them alive – there is no question but that murdering them is sanctioned by sharia. As it happens, in 2013, an Islamic supremacist named Sheikh Farrokh Sekaleshfar made this point in a speech at the Husseini Islamic Center in Sanford, Florida – about 20 miles from Orlando and two hours drive from Mateen’s home in Port St. Lucie. It is unclear at this writing whether the shooter was associated with this mosque or aware of this particular exhortation to kill homosexuals. But if indeed he was a sharia-adherent Muslim, there is no doubt that he was aware that his duty was to take homophobia to its murderous extreme. It is absolutely predictable that Muslim Brotherhood front organizations like the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) will shortly denounce this act of violence, insist that it has nothing to do with Islam, and lowball any ties the perpetrator may have had to one or more Orlando area mosques. Instead, they will try to deflect attention to those they accuse of “Islamophobia” for connecting the obvious – and ominous – dots. In fact, CAIR has scheduled a press conference on Tuesday at its headquarters in Washington for the purpose of defaming American patriots who oppose the Islamist agenda and those, like the Muslim Brotherhood with its pre-violent “civilization jihad,” who are enabling violent jihadists, here and elsewhere. The Islamic State and al Qaeda have both called for individual jihadists to use the month of Ramadan, which began on June 6th, to attack Americans in this country. This murderous act in Orlando may prove to have been inspired by such calls, or by Sheik Sekaleshfar, or simply by the tenets of sharia. We can only hope that – whatever its inspiration – Mateen’s is the last such act of jihad in America. But for there to be any chance that will be the case, we are going to have to stop importing more jihadists, designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization (the object of pending legislation sponsored by Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart), and shut down the Brotherhood’s mosques and front groups that are promoting sharia and the realization of its ultimate objective, which is – in the Brotherhood’s own words – “destroying Western civilization from within.” As former Department of Homeland Security whistleblower and best-selling author of See Something, Say Nothing Philip Haney points out, the jihadists won’t stop trying to kill us, homosexuals and straights alike, until we stop them. And that’s what we must be about now.

Deaths of Despair

by Hal Lindsey

Last week, the Centers for Disease Control issued a report on a growing phenomenon among white people in America — rising deaths from drug and alcohol abuse, diseases related to those addictions, and to suicide. The problem is so severe that it’s having a significant impact on average life expectancy. Anne Case, a Princeton University researcher, aptly called the phenomenon, “deaths of despair.” The study focused on whites, but it’s obvious that “deaths of despair” are rising among all ethnic groups. Since the report came out, journalists have been interviewing academics to find out what’s behind the phenomenon. The experts generally point to shrinking economic opportunity as the culprit. While economic distress can trigger such problems, it does not address the underlying issue. To find the answer, we have go back to age-old questions, and look at how twenty-first century Americans are answering them. In the first Star Trek movie, the character of Spock said, “Each of us, some time in our lives, turns to someone — a father, a brother, a god — and asks, ‘Why am I here? What was I meant to be?’” Government is ill-equipped to answer such questions. Though they often try, academia and the media also fail when confronted with these most basic questions of human existence. Their problem is that they have made materialism both their religion and their god. It leaves them with an empty, sterile universe. They see the cosmos as a remarkable accident that begat an even more remarkable series of accidents — eventually making the human race. And that’s it. The further they go in this direction, the greater the despair. In 1977, science fiction author Philip K. Dick said, “We are living in a computer-programmed reality.” That notion, still relatively obscure in the 70s, became the basis for the hit 1999 film, “The Matrix.” In 2003, Oxford Professor Nick Bostrom published a paper entitled, “Are You Living in A Computer Simulation?” His paper fired the imaginations of college students everywhere. Then, just a few days ago, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Motors, told Recode’s Code Conference, “There’s a one in billions chance that this is base reality.” In other words, this brilliant, highly influential man is virtually certain that all our lives are taking place within someone’s computer simulation. Do you see what’s happening? These “brilliant people” no longer believe in their own reality. The removal of the “being” from “the human” also happens in other ways. In 2011, Bruce Hood wrote the book, The Self Illusion: Why There is No ‘You’ Inside Your Head. He argues, along with Buddhists and a whole generation of neuroscientists, that “there is no real you” — that “self” is an illusion. Late in his life, Nobel Prize winning molecular biologist Francis Crick wrote, “‘You,’ your joys and your sorrows, your memories and your ambitions, your sense of personal identity and free will, are in fact no more than the behavior of a vast assembly of nerve cells and their associated molecules.” He said, in effect, that the things that make you uniquely you are not even real. You are a machine and you do as you’re programmed. Remember, these are not the random thoughts of the lunatic fringe. They represent the mainstream within academic circles. And their thinking forms the basis of our modern view of reality. Look at entertainment. It is permeated by a sense of meaninglessness. The only things that fully engage modern cinematic heroes are fear and rage. It’s as if they’re searching for something human somewhere inside — of themselves, and their audience. Secular humanism tries to turn human beings into gods, but it does the opposite. Instead of gods, we become nothing at all — bereft of value and purpose. The road that begins with denying God, ends in denying our own existence as free and real moral agents. Concepts such as meaning and hope wither in an environment without God. The first chapter of Romans talks about nature giving evidence of God to all people. Then it says, “When they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. … Even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind.” (Romans 1:21-22, 28 KJV) The equation for understanding reality begins with God. If we reject Him, we begin a journey that will take us terrible places of horrible emptiness — more desolate than we ever dreamed. It happens because we forget a simple Proverb. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” (Proverbs 1:7 NASB) Those who reject God wind up exchanging hope, meaning, and purpose for the bare, animal pursuit of survival. It leaves only despair, and that despair is killing people right now. The only hope is to wrap ourselves around the love of God and to receive Jesus Christ’s forgiveness through His shed blood for us on the cross. Receive His forgiveness and invite Him into your heart NOW. You can change your eternal destiny forever by doing that right now. For the first time you can begin to learn the certainty of God’s eternal life and reality as He progressively teaches you the truth.

Democrats heckle Ryan on House floor day after Orlando nightclub massacre

Published June 14, 2016 FoxNews.com

The debate over how to stop attacks like the terror massacre in Orlando erupted on the House floor late Monday as Democratic lawmakers loudly criticized House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and other GOP leaders for taking no action on the nation’s gun laws. The disruption underscored the political divide in the wake of the attack, with many Democrats looking to tighten gun laws in response and Republicans looking to crack down on the strain of radical Islam that seemingly motivated the shooter. The flare-up on the floor erupted when Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., attempted to ask Ryan when bills curbing gun use would be considered after the House paused for 16 seconds to honor those killed in the terror attack. Clyburn was going to note that Friday is the one-year anniversary of the Charleston, S.C. mass shooting. Before Clyburn could finish, Ryan ruled his question out of order and directed the House to move to the next vote. Some protested by leaving the House floor during a moment of silence honoring the victims, while other Democrats yelled "Where's the bill?" and "No leadership!" After the disruption, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi told reporters Democrats have "had enough" of moments of silence after mass shootings when Congress does not act to tighten gun laws. A handful of Democrats left the House floor during the moment of silence, including Connecticut Rep. Jim Himes. Himes said earlier Monday in an interview that he's done with the moments of silence typically held on the House floor after mass shootings, calling them "obnoxious expressions of smug incompetence." His district is close to Newtown, where a gunman killed 20 first-graders and six adults at an elementary school in 2012. Leaving the House chamber, Ryan, R-Wis., declined to comment on the exchange. But he had earlier issued a statement stressing that a “hateful ideology” – not guns – is to blame. "As we heal, we need to be clear-eyed about who did this,” Ryan said. “We are a nation at war with Islamist terrorists. Theirs is a repressive, hateful ideology that respects no borders. It is a threat to our people at home and abroad. Our security depends on our refusal to back down in the face of terror. We never will." Lawmakers and presidential candidates have pointed to a range of culprits in responding to the attack. Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has renewed his concerns about Muslim immigration, while presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton renewed her concerns about the proliferation of assault weapons and wants to ban them. President Obama has made a fresh argument for gun control in the wake of the shooting, but has also called it an act of terror and an act of hate – as the attack targeted a gay nightclub. Obama has not used the phrase “radical Islam,” though Clinton has since described that as a factor. Moments of silence in the House have a history of prompting outbursts on the floor. When a moment was held to honor victims of a deadly shooting rampage in San Bernardino, California, in December, several Democrats criticized it. "We need to stand up, speak up, and take actions rather than another moment of silence," said Rep. Robin Kelly, D-Ill., in a House floor speech at the time. "It is deafening, and it is killing us."

Tel Aviv Terror Attack Shatters Five Myths

The June 8 terrorist massacre in Tel Aviv exposed all five of the major myths that cloud discussions of Israel and the Palestinians. Myth #1: "The problem is the settlements" This was not a massacre of "settlers." The attack did not take place in some disputed territory. Nobody can claim that the victims "provoked" the violence by living in some predominantly Arab area. These were people drinking coffee in the heart of Tel Aviv. Myth #2: "It was a reaction to the occupation" The attackers are residents of the village of Yatta. The Israeli occupation of Yatta ended when Israeli troops withdrew from the territories where 98 percent of the Palestinians reside in late 1995. Yatta has been under the rule of the Palestinian Authority for nearly 21 years. Although Israel's critics continue to falsely claim that the Palestinians live under "Israeli occupation," the Israeli public knows better. The Israel Democracy Institute/Tel Aviv University monthly Peace Index survey for May 2016 found 71.7 percent of Israeli Jews say it is wrong to categorize Israel's status in the territories (it rules the areas where Jews reside) as "occupation." Myth #3: "The Palestinian Authority condemned the attack" The Palestinian Authority (PA) never calls such attacks "terrorism," and always brackets the attacks on Israelis together with Israeli actions against terrorists, thereby justifying the attacks on Israelis. Its response to the Tel Aviv massacre was no different. It declared: "We condemn violence and attacks against civilians on both sides, whatever the justification." The PA "not only condemned the attack in south Tel Aviv early on Monday morning, but also the recent Israel Defense Forces strikes on Gaza, and attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank and in Jerusalem," according to Israel's Channel 10 television network. Fatah, which is chaired by PA President Mahmoud Abbas, explicitly defended the massacre. According to the Palestinian news agency Ma'an, Fatah issued a statement calling the attack "a natural response" to Israeli actions. Fatah media committee head Munir al-Jaghoub explained, "Israel must realize the consequences of its persistence to push violence, house demolition policies, forced displacement of Palestinians, raids by Israeli settlers to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, and the cold-blooded killing of Palestinians at checkpoints." That's the equivalent of the Democratic Party defending the San Bernardino massacre of 2015. Imagine U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Fla.), head of the Democratic National Committee, saying the killings in southern California were the "consequences" of President Barack Obama sending drones to carry out the "cold-blooded killing" of al-Qaeda members. Myth #4: "Ordinary Palestinians are against terrorism" Israel Hayom reports that, "In Ramallah, Tulkarm, Qalqilya, Jenin, and other cities, people danced in the streets, set off fireworks, and handed out treats while praising the attacks." When the PA's schools, newspapers, television stations constantly praise terrorists as "heroes" and "martyrs," it is no wonder ordinary Palestinians have come to feel the same way. The cities where the celebrations took place would be the heart of a future Palestinian state. They are just a few miles down the road from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Can those who celebrate massacres be trusted with a sovereign, independent state next door to Israel Myth #5: "The major American news outlets are staffed by objective, professionally trained journalists; if their coverage of Israel is unflattering, that's because of Israel's own policies, not because of media bias" CNN's Twitter announcement of the attack put the word "terrorists" in quotation marks, stating, "Two 'terrorists' captured after Tel Aviv attack, Israeli police spokesman tweets." The Washington Post's correspondents in Israel, William Booth and Ruth Eglash, exhibited the same bias. They described the terrorists as "gunmen," "assailants," and "attackers"--but never as terrorists, and only indirectly as Palestinians. And the headline-writers at Washington Post headquarters came up with this gem: "4 Killed in Tel Aviv Market Shooting that Officials Labeled Terrorist Attack." Perhaps copies of the Washington Post should bear labels of their own: "Warning: The reporting in this newspaper may be hazardous to the truth. It is often slanted for the purpose of protecting the Palestinian cause against criticism." Originally published at JNS.org - reposted with permission

The Media Is Spinning A False Narrative

By Steve Berman | June 13, 2016, 08:39am

The false narrative emerging from the media seeks to make a few points, all of which are red herrings and straw men designed to take attention from the truth. The shooter, Omar Mateen, was homophobic because he hated gays. Mateen was unstable because he was mean and beat his wife Mateen had too much unfettered access to guns Mateen was not religiously motivated Story after story references these points, and they quote each other liberally (take the pun as you wish). Fox News and other media outlets reported comments by a coworker at security firm G4S who called him “toxic” and “unhinged.” The Times of London quoted CNN, about his first wife, “He was mentally unstable and mentally ill.” Anti-gun New York Daily News quoted NBC News, who spoke to Mateen’s father Seddique Matteen, who insisted the rampage had nothing to do with religion. The Washington Post also did a story on Seddique Mateen defending his son. “He had a child and a wife, and was very dignified, meaning he had respect for his parents,” Seddique Mateen wrote, standing in front of the flag of his apparent birthplace, Afghanistan. “I don’t know what caused him to shoot last night.” The shooter’s father has close connections with his native Afghanistan, and has traveled back there as recently as 2014, even interviewing Afghan President Ashraf Ghani in Kabul, according to the Washington Post. He made a series of Youtube videos praising the Taliban and railing against the U.S. The Boston Globe appears to be at a complete loss as to Mateen’s motive for the killings, because there’s no actual proof (besides the killer’s own words pledging allegiance is ISIS) he was tied to any jihadist causes. While Mateen claimed allegiance to Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, no evidence had emerged by late Sunday pointing to actual ties to terrorist groups or a significant association with jihadist causes. Yes, they actually wrote that. Apparently a confession isn’t evidence to them. We can either accept the media narrative, that some unknown complex mix of motives drove this mentally ill man to buy readily available assault weapons and kill people he simply hated for no reason, or we can apply Occam’s Razor–the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. The Quran teaches that homosexuality is wrong and punishable by death (not just “God himself will punish those involved in homosexuality. This, is not for the servants” of God, which Seddique Mateen said). In some Sharia-law Muslim countries, it actually is punished by death. Certainly ISIS punishes homosexuality by death. Many Muslim men are brought up and taught to beat their wives–that this is the correct way to administer discipline in the home. This kind of behavior is common in the Islamic world, where women are not valued as anything more than property. Mateen had a clean record, worked as a security guard, kept himself in excellent physical condition, and trained for his jihad. This was not a crime of opportunity, or of passion. It was a planned operation. The “mentally ill” narrative offers no hard evidence at this point. He bought weapons because, despite the FBI having investigated him, nothing of concern was noted that would prevent him from doing so. This is a failure of the intelligence and law enforcement system, not our Second Amendment rights. The attack was absolutely religiously motivated. You didn’t see Mateen attacking the Orlando Islamic Center, the mosque he attended, because he didn’t like the people there. You didn’t see the people with whom he worshipped calling the FBI or the local authorities to report Mateen acting weird or talking about killing people. The simplest explanation is that Mateen was a radicalized Muslim, who moved easily with other radicalized Muslims, some of whom are probably living their lives in Orlando. Only now would the FBI be interviewing those people and find connections. The press is weaving a false narrative to fashion a complex explanation for a simple problem. We have a cancer of radical Islam growing in America. Political correctness, the inability of our president to accept the problem because of his beliefs about Islam being a religion of peace, and impossible restrictions placed on federal, state and local law enforcement have made this crime possible. Our government is ignoring the cancer and it will continue to grow, as long as the country keeps buying the media’s spin.

In wake of Orlando, Hillary Clinton shifts on "radical Islam"

CLEVELAND -- In the wake of the mass shooting in Orlando and facing pressure from her Republican rival, Hillary Clinton said in a series of interviews on Monday that she would use the phrase "radical Islamism" to describe the threat that the United States must confront and defeat. However, she also dismissed the debate over semantics as a non-starter. "I think [Donald] Trump, as usual is obsessed with name calling," Clinton said in a phone interview with NBC. "From my perspective, it matters what we do, not what we say. It mattered that we got Bin Laden, not the name we called him." She continued: "We have to defeat radical jihadist terrorism and we will. And, to me, radical jihadist, radical Islamism, I think they mean the same thing. I'm happy to say either." Donald Trump and other Republicans, including former presidential candidates, have repeatedly attacked Clinton and President Barack Obama for refusing to use the words "radical Islam" or "radical Islamic terrorism" when referring to those who carry out terrorist attacks in the U.S. and Europe. Clinton has so far avoided using that language, and cautioned that it is unfair, and perhaps unsafe, to paint with "too broad a brush." "Islam itself is not our adversary," Clinton said in a speech on national security in November. "The obsession in some quarters with...repeating the specific words 'radical Islamic terrorism' is not just a distraction. It gives these criminals, these murderers, more standing than they deserve and it actually plays into their hands by alienating partners we need by our side." Later Monday morning, calling into MSNBC, Clinton again said "radical jihadist terrorism" is the "same" as "radical Islamism" while maintaining her position that Muslims, in general, are not the enemy. "We have to defeat radical jihadist terrorism, or radical Islamism, whatever you call it. It's the same," she said. "But we cannot demonize, demagogue or declare war on an entire religion." She said on CNN that American Muslims must be a part of the effort to stop terrorism. "We also want to reach out to the vast majority of American Muslims, and Muslims around this world, to help us defeat this threat, which is so evil and has got to be denounced by everyone, regardless of religion," she said. Trump, who also called into five different morning shows on Monday, took credit for Clinton's shift on Twitter. "I have been hitting Obama and Crooked Hillary hard on not using the term Radical Islamic Terror," he wrote. "Hillary just broke-said she would now use!"

The 'Religion Of Peace' Has Killed 2,230 People In The Last 30 Days - There Have Been 226 Terror Attacks In 32 Countries Including The U.S.

June 13, 2016 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

While information is coming out faster than we can keep up with about the Orlando massacre where up to 50 people were killed at the gay nightclub "Pulse," with another 50+ injured, where we see the killer Omar Mateen "swore allegiance to the leader of ISIS in a 911 call moments before the rampage at Pulse," as well as having previously been investigated by the FBI over "inflammatory" comments about radical Islamic propaganda," we see the MSM attempting to push an "anti-gay" agenda as the cause of the brutal massacre and Barack Obama once again dancing on the graves of the victims to push for more gun control, while refusing to even speak the words "radical Islamic terrorism." While ANP has published a follow-up on the Orlando shooting in an article titled "Insiders On ISIS Terror In America: 'It's Going To Get Way, Way Worse' - ISIS Plan To Attack 6 US Cities Leaked - 'It's Going To Be A Very Bloody Summer In America'," this article is going to focus on Islam itself, its teachings that homosexuality is a crime punishable by death, the massive amounts of attacks and deaths across the world in the name of Islam in June, the Islamic Holy Month of Terror, and why Barack Obama is ignoring the dangers of importing terrorists into America as he attempts to disarm Americans. WHAT OBAMA WON'T TELL YOU What Barrack Hussein Obama will not tell you is that at least 226 terror attacks have occurred over the last 30 days by Islamic Jihadists, in 32 different countries, including the U.S. after the Orlando massacre, where at least 2,230 people have been brutally slaughtered and over 2,224 people have been injured, by the so-called "religion of the peace." (Source and full list of attacks over the last 30 days) According to the list provided by the website "Religion of Peace" some of the more brutal radical Islamic attacks over the last 30 days include a A double suicide bombing outside a Shiite mosque in Syria which killed 20 people on June 11; Islamists spray machine-gun fired into a crowd of women and children trying to flee the caliphate, killing at least 30 in Iraq on June 10; ISIS members massacred at least thirty-seven villagers, including women and children in syria on June 10; A Sunni suicide bomber targets a commercial district in a Shiite area, killing 19 in Iraq on June 9; Dozens (43) of AU peacekeepers are massacred during an al-Shabaab suicide assault in Somalia on June 9; At least 25 defenders are killed during an ISIS assault on a small town in lybia on June 8; The Taliban stop vehicles along a highway and massacre a dozen occupants in Afghanistan on June 7; Eleven people are executed in front of their families for trying to flee the caliphate in Iraq on June 6; 65 civilians, including university students, are rounded up and executed by caliphate staff in Iraq on June 6; Two killed and 27 injured when Islamists target a church with rockets in Syria on June 5; Thirty-four Iraqis are killed by two Islamic State suicide bombers on June 4; A mass grave is discovered containing at least four hundred victims of ISIS executions on June 4; Ten women and a girl are among seventeen shredded by Shiite shrapnel at a market on June 3; Thirty-two defenders are slain during a massive Boko Haram assault on a small town on June 3; Nineteen Yazidi girls are put in cages and burned alive for refusing sex with caliphate members in Iraq on June 3. That is just a small sample of attacks in June 2016, the Islamic Holy Month of Terror. See all the Jihadist attacks, deaths and injuries at "Religion of Peace." OBAMA IGNORES ISLAMIC TERRORISM AND QUARAN TEACHINGS ABOUT KILLING GAYS While Obama attacks guns and claims "we need the strength and courage to change" our attitudes toward the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community, he makes no mention of the fact that Islamic terrorists are killing gays across the globe, he also doesn't mention that "they" need to change their attitudes, nor does he even acknowledge that the attack that happened in Orlando was a Islamic terrorist attack. Neither does Obama acknowledge that he waved a red flag in front of a bull when he once again used his position to push his "Proclamation" of June being "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender" month in the U.S., knowing that June is also the Islamic holy month of terror, Ramadan. We know Obama was aware of Ramadan as the White House website posted his "statement" on the occassion of Ramadan on June 5, 2016. What Obama understands but does not want Americans to understand is that there are multiple references to homosexuality in the Quran.... Islam as a religion considers homoosexuality as an offense punishable by death. This is also evidenced by statements made in April by an Imam in Orlando, where the brutal massacre just occured, , stating that homosexuals should be killed "out of compassion." By focusing on the LGBT agenda, diversity and gun control, Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton, are deliberately ignoring that guns do not shoot themselves, there is always a finger behind the trigger and that finger in the case of the Orlando massacre, was an Islamic extremists that swore allegiance to ISIS, a man taught by his own religion that homosexuality if a crime punishable by death. Via Heavy.com: Homosexuality is "illegal" under sharia law, and being accused of it is punishable by death. "Hudud" is a punishment mandated by god in the Quran. "Liwat" is charge of engaging in homosexual sex. The hudud for liwat in the Islamic State is being thrown from the top of a building and then stoned to death by the watching public. While Obama is busy trying to misdirect Americans from the fact that the Orlando shooter was of Afghanistan descent, as well as a radical ISIS supporter, we note that 99 percent of Afghans support Sharia law as the official law, with 51 percent of Muslims living in America today believe Sharia should be the law in the U.S. and 25 percent saying that violence against Americans is acceptable if they offend Islam. In another example of pathetic attempts to misdirect America, the ACLU is trying to blame "conservative Chsritians" for the fact that the Islamic religion believes homosexuals should be slaughtered. Really? Was it a Christian that walked into the Pulse nightclub and slaughtered 50 people? Was it conservative lawmakers that brutally massacred those 50 people? No, it was a member of the "religion of peace." BOTTOM LINE Sharia is derived from the religious precepts of Islam, particularly the Quran and the Hadith. The term sharia comes from the Arabic language term sharīʿah, which means a body of moral and religious law derived from religious prophecy, as opposed to human legislation. (Source) The fact is Sharia, which is derived from the teachings of the Quran, is incompatible with the U.S. constitution, specifically the First, Second, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. In the video below you will hear an Imam, described as an "Islamic Scholar," by the name of Abdullah Hakim Quick, where he states the "Islamic position" on homosexuality by answering "So I said: Put my name in the paper. The punishment is death. And we cannot change Islam" (Relevant portion at the 2:00 minute mark) That ladies and gentlemen is the bottom line, the fact that Barack Obama, the ACLU, Democrats, Liberals and Progressives absolutely refuse to admit.... Islam will not change. Until we have a leader willing to name the enemy, we will continue to see attacks on American soil, like the one on June 12 in Orlando, and the attack in San Bernardino California. In the meantime the LGBT community are so brainwashed, they are encouraging the importation of their own executioners.

5 Reasons to Question the Official Story of the Orlando Shooting

June 13, 2016 TOPICS: Brandon TurbevilleFBIISISOrlando Shooting

As more and more evidence emerges regarding the mass shooting in an Orlando gay club that resulted in the death of at least 52 people and many more injured, signs are increasingly pointing toward the possibility of a false flag operation. Already, a number of points lend credence to those who might suggest that intelligence agencies more so than desert-dwelling terrorist organizations are responsible for organizing and directing the attacks. A number of questionable aspects regarding this shooting include: The FBI knew about the shooter and investigated him prior to the attack. The shooter had a connection to a known ISIS recruiter. The shooter’s father was a former “Afghan presidential candidate” who supported the Taliban. The FBI’s history in creating terrorism. Omar Mir Seddique Mateen has now been revealed as the gunman in the Orlando club attack. According to mainstream reports, Mateen carried an AR-15 rifle and a handgun into the Pulse club around 2 a.m. and started shooting, killing 50 people and wounding 53. A stand-off ensued which lasted for about 3 hours before a SWAT team crashed into the building with an armored vehicle and killed Mateen. Mateen had allegedly pledged allegiance to ISIS before the shooting by calling 911 and stating allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi as well as mentioning the Tsarnaev brothers. Mateen was an American citizen born to Afghan parents from Port St. Lucie, Florida, about a 125 miles away from Orlando, a distance which he allegedly drove to commit the attack. FBI Foreknowledge, ISIS Sympathies, Taliban Ties What may at first sound like an instance of senseless violence, brings with it a number of other questions. For instance, the FBI was already well aware of Mateen and his connections to radical jihad and terrorism. According to CNN’s article, “50 Killed in Florida Nightclub, Shooter Pledged ISIS Allegiance,” two officials tell CNN that the FBI had investigated Mateen at some point for possibly having ties to or sympathizing with Islamic extremism. A law enforcement official said there were two cases opened involving Mateen but the probes didn’t result in enough evidence to charge him with anything. The investigations were reported by a number of mainstream media organizations and later confirmed by the FBI itself during a press conference. The FBI admitted that Mateen had been interviewed by agents twice in 2013 due to comments made about radical jihad which were overheard by coworkers. He was interviewed for a third time one year later due to his connection to Moner Mohammad Abu Salha, an American who had traveled from Florida to train in Syria and later to return to the United States in order to recruit other Americans to fight in the Western-backed terrorist brigades attempting to overthrow secular and legitimate government, Bashar Al Assad. Salha allegedly returned to Syria and blew himself up in a suicide bombing. It is also interesting to note that Mateen’s father Seddique Mateen is a political personality in his own right having hosted a TV show and apparently declared himself a presidential candidate for Afghanistan. Seddique has denounced the Pakistani government and expressed support and encouragement for the Taliban movement. Still, the question regarding the fact that Mateen was on the FBI’s radar is extremely important. One key aspect suggesting a false flag that should be looked for soon after the attack is any possible connection the suspect or group of suspects may have had with intelligence agencies. A connection to any one of these organizations and institutions may go some length in explaining how the attack was coordinated, the motivation of the perpetrators, the actual involvement (or not) of the suspects, and who actually directed the operation. For instance, on 9/11, many of the alleged hijackers had previously had close contact with the FBI, CIA, and other high-level intelligence agencies (both home and abroad). Likewise, the Tsarnaev brothers who have been accused of masterminding and carrying out the Boston Bombing had ties to the FBI before the attack. In many instances, connections to certain military agencies and communities should serve as the same red flag as connections to intelligence agencies since these institutions have largely been blended together. The FBI’s sordid history of organizing terrorist attacks Indeed, the FBI has had a long history in creating, organizing and facilitating terrorist attacks in order to bust them at the last minute and claim credit for stopping terror attacks. The FBI also has a long history of investigating, monitoring and interviewing suspects of high-profile terrorist attacks before those attacks were committed but doing nothing about them. As Tony Cartalucci writes in his article, “US Law Enforcement Knew Florida Shooter BEFORE Shooting,” A terror suspect armed to the teeth storming a public place and killing scores is actually a very familiar script. The FBI wrote several such scripts in 2015 alone, including entrapping and arresting a mentally-ill suspect after providing him with an arsenal of deadly weapons almost identical to the arsenal recently employed in Flordia. The Intercept would report in its article, “Another “Terror” Arrest; Another Mentally Ill Man, Armed by the FBI,” that: U.S. law enforcement officials announced another terror arrest on Monday, after arming a mentally ill man and then charging him with having guns. ABC News quoted a “senior federal official briefed on the arrest” as saying: “This is a very bad person arrested before he could do very bad things.” But in a sting reminiscent of so many others conducted by the FBI since 9/11, Alexander Ciccolo, 23, “aka Ali Al Amriki,” was apparently a mentally ill man who was doing nothing more than ranting about violent jihad and talking (admittedly in frightening ways) about launching attacks—until he met an FBI informant. At that point, he started making shopping lists for weapons. The Intercept would also reference the FBI’s affidavit (.pdf), stating (emphasis added): According to the affidavit, Ciccolo first talked to the FBI informant about attacking two bars and a police station. Later, he spoke of attacking a college campus with a homemade pressure-cooker bomb like the one used in the Boston Marathon terror attack; he also talked about using guns and a lot of ammo. Ciccolo, according to the affidavit, then “ordered the firearms from a confidential human source (“CHS”) working with the FBI.” The list of weapons provided to the mentally-ill suspect by the FBI informant is shocking. Revealed in the official FBI affidavit (.pdf), the weapons included a 9mm Glock 17, a 10mm Glock 20, a .223 Colt AR-15 rifle, (referred to by the media as an “assault rifle”), and a 556 Sig Arms SG550 rifle (also often referred to as an assault rifle). Also included in the affidavit is the same hysterical rhetoric encouraged by FBI informants now evident in the recent actions of terror suspect Omar Mateen in Florida. The FBI literally provided a mentally-ill man they helped plan a terrorist attack together with, an arsenal of deadly weapons – arresting him just before he committed his crime. The only factor that prevented the 2015 entrapment of Ciccolo from becoming a live Florida shooting-style attack was the fact that the FBI arrested Ciccolo before he carried out his planned attack – while those following Mateen did not arrest him. The role of the FBI in Mateen obtaining his weapons will never be known since Mateen is now – conveniently – dead. Even if he purchased them “legally” at a gun store, it should be noted that in other FBI entrapment cases, suspects were encouraged to purchase weapons themselves, with the FBI arresting them only after they left gun stores with their newly acquired arsenal. Interestingly enough, in the Ciccolo incident that Cartalucci refers to above, the plan which was fed to Ciccolo involved attacking bars, a target that was actually realized in Orlando. Of course, there will be many who will argue that the FBI, while entrapping unintelligent suspects, would never actually let the drill go live it is important to remember the 1993 World Trade Center bombing where that is precisely what the FBI did. Who Controls ISIS? Lastly, one immensely important question must be asked: If ISIS is responsible for the attacks, who controls ISIS? For many, claims that the attacker belongs to ISIS is a deal breaker. For these individuals, ISIS is a shadowy terrorist organization that supports itself and has created a caliphate in eastern Syria and western Iraq that can scarcely be defeated (except when the Russians bomb it). However, the facts do not support such a shallow understanding of the ISIS terrorist organization. ISIS was entirely created, funded and directed by the United States, Britain, France and other NATO countries. Its actions have been coordinated by the Anglo-American Intelligence apparatus for geopolitical purposes all across the world both at home and abroad. For this reason, the declaration that ISIS committed a terrorist attack in Paris is by no means a get-out-of-jail-free card for the Western Intelligence apparatus. Instead, it is the trademark of their handiwork. Please see these articles for more information on the nature of ISIS: here, here, here and here. Conclusion While the right-wing media blames Muslims and the left-wing media blame guns, perhaps it would be more effective if thinking individuals would examine the possibilities that this attack was a false flag incident designed to push an agenda that would benefit those in power in some way or other. Out of this attack we will no doubt see another push for the evisceration of the Second Amendment and other civil liberties as well as increased hype regarding ISIS as a threat to the American way of life and a greater attempt at justification for foreign adventures. While the information presented above may not be enough evidence to prove in the court of law that the Orlando attack was a false flag attack, it is reason enough to question the official story thus far. If this attack is indeed placed in the lap of ISIS, however, all fingers should immediately point to NATO and the Atlanticist Intelligence apparatus. It is they who control ISIS and they who bear the responsibility for its actions. If the attack is attributed to a lone jihadist nut the FBI has some serious explaining to do since it appears that the agency itself is the greatest initiator of terrorist activity inside American borders and is either the most incompetent anti-terror fighter in the U.S. or it is complicit in the attacks that take place.

Acceleration of Attacks against the Word of God & His People Causing Confusion, Doubt & Unbelief

By Doug Hagmann - June 14, 2016

All who are paying attention to current events will agree that true Christianity is under attack in America. The attack is not on the distilled ideological version of Christianity, but the Word of God and those who believe in the Word of God. We’ve seen this happen before in history, beginning with the deception that took place in the Garden of Eden. We’ve also seen this during the mid-19th century, during what is often called the “golden age of free thought,” when intellectuals, atheists and agnostics attacked the literal Word. In that case, the attacks were more easily identifiable, allowing Bible-believing Christians the ability to push back against the deception. In modernity and today, such attacks are often subtler, as the Word of God is not merely assailed, but perverted. The originator of such perversion has not changed, although the tactics of his foot soldiers have. The dilution of the Word of God, having taken on many forms, is insidiously being perpetuated from within the body of the church. Often, it is done under the guise of coexistence, compassion, and a seemingly harmless and even well-intentioned doctrine of inclusion. To those who are not grounded in the true Word of God will easily be led astray, convinced that they are following the true spirit of God’s Word. Such adherence is not merely a mistake of intellect, but a mortal wound to the soul. It is within this context where the real war against Christians and the Word of God exists. The perpetrators of perversion will use current events as the basis for attacking the fundamental beliefs of Christians. The demonization of Christians has already begun through subtle marginalization, including those self-proclaimed Christians who act as accusers of the brethren as they twist scripture to advance their own agenda. Rather than spreading the inerrant Word of God and bringing others to the Word, they spend their time tearing down those who do, thereby causing doubt, confusion and even unbelief. Others are falling victim to more refined attack mechanisms perpetuated by professional doctrinal “hit men.” Such perpetrators include the globalist Luciferian powers who are adept at using technology to “program” change within the population, but diverting the argument to the absurd. Examples include such assertions as the unfortunately misnamed “Mandela Effect,” a deception that has ensnared many into believing that the Word of God has not just been changed, but has changed – a distinction with a critical difference. Meanwhile, Christians are being slaughtered in wholesale numbers all across the Middle East; left unchecked and even being facilitated by nation-state actors, the persecution of true bible-believing Christians is accelerating and spreading. The planned endgame is the eradication of Christianity and Christians who refuse to worship at the altar of Globalism and a one-world religion where everyone worships the same god, but not the God of the Holy Bible. Time is incredibly short, Accordingly, we must identify the deception, clear the confusion and fight for the souls of the lost, for we were born for this time. It is up to us to make the difference. Regardless, the current attack we are witnessing is sustained and the fight is formidable, for it involves a clash of cultures led by infiltrators from within. The Word of God, as it was originally spoken and transcribed, is being perverted by many means. This perversion is on the rise and many are being victimized through this deception.

BREAKING. FBI Director Jamey Comey “Confused” About Motives Of Orlando Shooter (VIDEO)

Posted at 1:57 pm on June 13, 2016 by streiff

Just a few minutes ago, FBI Director James Comey gave a press conference on the Orlando shooting. To call it surreal is to mistake Salvador Dali for a portraitist. We first became aware of him in 2013, while he was working as a security guard at a local courthouse," Comey told reporters Monday. "He made inflammatory and contradictory statements about terrorism that raised concern with his coworkers, and claimed family connections to Al Qaeda." He continued: "He then said he was a member of Hezbollah, which is a Shiite terrorist organization that is ideologically opposed to Al Qaeda, a Sunni terrorist organization." ...Comey said the FBI's Miami office opened up a preliminary investigation into the shooter in 2013 that lasted 10 months. "We interviewed him twice, and he admitted to making statements about the terrorist organizations," Comey said. "But he said he did it in anger because he thought his coworkers were discriminating against him." The FBI's second investigation into Mateen "came about in an indirect way" in 2014, Comey said. The FBI's Miami office was investigating a Florida man who had blown himself up on behalf of Al Qaeda in Syria - an organization known as Jabhat al-Nusra. The office discovered he had attended the same mosque as Mateen, the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce. The FBI had kept confidential sources connected to the killer and tracked him since opening the investigation in 2013... "During his call to 911 he said he was doing this for the leader of ISIL, who he claimed allegiance to," Comey said. "But he also mentioned the Boston Marathon bombers, who were inspired by Al Qaeda, and Abu-Salha, who blew himself up for al Nusra." Comey noted that Nusra and ISIS are fighting each other in Syria. "There is no indication he was part of a plot from outside the US, and no indication of what group he supported," Comey said, noting that he demonstrated a "general support for radical Islamist groups." This seems pretty cut and dried, doesn't it. At some point someone should have gotten a clue that if the guy is talking about violent acts on behalf of Islamic terrorist groups over a multi-year period that it might be more than a passing fad. In fact, Comey says negotiators talked with Mateen three times while he was in the night club and he mentioned both suicide vests (this, is not a traditional Christian item of wear) and his allegiance to ISIS. But, no, said Comey: "There is confusion about his motives." If you still have confusion about his motives in the face of this body of evidence, well, I really question exactly what it would take, in the way of evidence, to convince you of anyone's motive or anything.

The End Of America?: 13 Catastrophic Events Which Could Soon Lead To An American Apocalypse

Posted on June 14, 2016 Written by Michael Snyder

Is the strongest and most powerful nation on the planet headed for an apocalypse which will bring it to its knees? We live in a world that is becoming increasingly unstable, and apocalyptic themes have become very common in books, movies, television shows and video games. It is almost as if there is an unconscious understanding on a societal level that something very big and very bad is coming, even if the vast majority of the population cannot specifically identify what that is going to be. Last week, the Global Challenges Foundation released a new report entitled “Global Catastrophic Risks 2016” in which they discussed various apocalyptic events that they believe could wipe out more than 10 percent of the population of our planet, and they warned that these types of events “are more likely than we intuitively think”… Sebastian Farquhar, director at the Global Priorities Project, told the Press Association: “There are some things that are on the horizon, things that probably won’t happen in any one year but could happen, which could completely reshape our world and do so in a really devastating and disastrous way. “History teaches us that many of these things are more likely than we intuitively think. Many of these risks are changing and growing as technologies change and grow and reshape our world. But there are also things we can do about the risks.” According to this new report, we are five times more likely to die from the various apocalyptic catastrophes that they analyzed than we are from a car accident. In this article, I want to discuss some of the most important threats that they analyzed, in addition to adding some of my own to the list. But first I want to mention that I do not believe that the Global Challenges Foundation is correct to identify climate change as one of the most significant catastrophic threats that humanity is facing. Our climate has always been changing, and I do believe that we will see wild climate shifts in the years ahead. However, human activity plays an exceedingly small role in all of this, and there is not very much that we can do to prevent what is going to happen either. Most of the climate change that we are going to see in our future is going to be as a result of other catastrophes in this list, so I have not included it as a separate item. With that being said, let’s quickly examine some of the potential threats identified by the Global Challenges Foundation… Don’t wait until food becomes scarce; start preparing for the future now by becoming as self-reliant as possible. Your long-term chances of survival could very well depend on your ability to feed yourself and your family without relying on someone else. Supervolcanoes In various locations around the globe, there are gigantic supervolcanoes which could dramatically change the course of human history in a single moment by erupting. In the United States, the Yellowstone supervolcano is becoming increasingly active, and a full-blown eruption could potentially be up to 2,000 times more powerful than the eruption of Mount St. Helens back in 1980. As I mentioned the other day, major metropolitan areas such as Salt Lake City and Denver would be essentially destroyed, food production in this country would be virtually wiped out, and a “volcanic winter” would cool global temperatures by up to 20 degrees for up to several years. Asteroids And Comets This is something that the Obama administration is actually quite concerned about. During his tenure, NASA has established a “Planetary Defense Coordination Office” that is in charge of tracking giant space rocks, and NASA is working to develop a method to destroy incoming asteroids using nuclear weapons. Scientists admit that they only know about a small fraction of the near-Earth objects that are actually out there, and we get hit “by surprise” all the time. If we were to get hit at just the right place by a very large object, like say just off the east coast of the United States, the consequences would almost be too horrible for words. Today, 39 percent of all Americans live in counties that directly border a shoreline, and most of those people are along the east coast. According to the University of California at Santa Cruz website, if a huge asteroid did slam into the Atlantic Ocean, it could potentially produce a 400 foot high tsunami that would sweep inland for many, many miles and kill millions upon millions of Americans in the process. Natural Pandemics The flu pandemic of 1918 killed approximately 50,000,000 people worldwide, and scientists assure us that it will happen again one day. Yes, we have come a long way in fighting disease, but as we learned during the recent Ebola outbreak, a really nasty virus can grip the entire world with fear in a very short period of time. Engineered Pandemics This is probably even a bigger threat than natural pandemics, because now we have the technology to genetically alter naturally occurring diseases and make them even stronger. Whether it is on purpose or by accident, it is only a matter of time before a genetically-modified superbug gets released into the general population, and when that day arrives it may make all previous pandemics look like a Sunday picnic. Artificial Intelligence Could someday entities that we have created turn on us and start killing us. Some might refer to this as “the Terminator scenario”, and it is becoming more realistic with each passing day as our technological capabilities continue to increase at an exponential rate. Geoengineering The human race now has the capability to purposely modify the weather, and this means that we also have the capability to do a tremendous amount of damage. Have you ever looked up and noticed long white trails criss-crossing the sky? This is being done on purpose, and when they spray chemicals into our atmosphere it could have some very severe long-term consequences that the authorities may not be anticipating. Nuclear War Back during the Cold War, most Americans would have probably named this as the number one catastrophic threat facing America, but these days most people tend to believe that “the Cold War” is over. So nobody has really objected while the U.S. strategic nuclear arsenal has been reduced by about 95 percent, and Barack Obama insists that he would like to reduce it even further. Meanwhile, both the Russians and the Chinese are rapidly modernizing their nuclear forces, and they both have developed hypersonic glide vehicles that can defeat any missile defense system that the U.S. can put up. Our relationship with Russia has already gone down the tubes, and our relationship with China is rapidly deteriorating. In fact, China just rejected a request for the USS John C. Stennis to make a routine port call at Hong Kong. Most Americans assume that a war with either one of them is impossible, but the truth is that we may find ourselves in a conflict with both of them at the same time eventually. The catastrophic threats above were ones that were mentioned in the report from the Global Challenges Foundation. Below are some additional items that I would like to add to the list… Islamic Terror It isn’t just ISIS that we need to be concerned about. Islamic terror is exploding all over the planet, and according to Wikipedia there have already been 95 such attacks globally so far in 2016. Up until now, they have been killing us with guns and bombs, but what happens when they inevitably get their hands on chemical, biological or nuclear weapons? Terror attacks using weapons of mass destruction could literally turn our society completely upside down virtually overnight, and it is only a matter of time until this starts happening. Power Grid Failure Someday you may wake up and discover that the power grid has totally failed. Just try to imagine a world without any lights, cell phones, computers, televisions, ATMs, heating and cooling systems, credit card readers, gas pumps, cash registers, refrigerators or hospital equipment. A massive electromagnetic pulse, either from the sun or as the result of a nuclear blast, could instantly plunge society back into the 1800s. The EMP Commission spent years studying this, and they told Congress back in 20o8 that up to 90 percent of the U.S. population could be dead within one year of such an event due to starvation, disease and the breakdown of society. So this is a threat that people better start taking seriously. RELATED : 4-STAR ADMIRAL: IRAN PREPPING EMP ATTACK ON AMERICA, OBAMA AND KERRY ARE HANDING THEM THE WEAPON Cyberwar World War III will not be fought like previous wars, and the Internet is one area where we are particularly vulnerable. The Chinese, the Russians and the North Koreans have all been working very hard to develop their cyberwarfare capabilities, and I was recently told by someone that has deep connections inside the U.S. intelligence community that our power grid could be taken down with just the push of a button. That is how easy it would be. With each passing year, we are all becoming more and more dependent on the Internet. So what would our lives be like if it was suddenly gone? That is something to think about. Economic Collapse If you want to watch society melt down right in front of your eyes, just take away all of the goodies. On The Economic Collapse Blog I have written more than a million words about the coming economic problems in this country. We got a very small taste of what is approaching in 2008 and 2009, and yet most people do not seem to have taken that warning seriously. Since that time, our long-term economic and financial problems have grown far more dire, and now the early chapters of a new economic crisis are unfolding right in front of our eyes, and yet still most people don’t seem to be alarmed. If you want to see how devastating an economic collapse can be on a nation, just pick up a history book and start reading about the Great Depression of the 1930s. Unfortunately, what we are heading for is going to be a whole lot worse than that. This video explains the steps one should take to prepare for an Economic Collapse Financial advice and preparedness Civil Unrest & Martial Law As the economy collapses and other things on this list start happening, people are going to be absolutely freaking out. A whole host of polls and surveys have shown that anger and frustration have been building up to unprecedented levels in this country, and at some point there is going to be a huge explosion. Desperate people do desperate things, and we got small previews of what is coming in Ferguson and in Baltimore. Violent crime rates are already rising in our major cities, and many among the elite are getting out while the getting is good. In fact,3,000 millionaires left the city of Chicago last year alone. Of course whenever civil unrest erupts, the government responds by trying to regain control, and eventually things are going to get so bad in this nation that we will start to see martial law imposed in various areas. We saw a little bit of this in Ferguson and in Baltimore, but that was nothing compared to what we will eventually experience. RELATED : Get the facts: “Martial Law and FEMA really will happen in 2016?” – FOX NEWS: OBAMA Will declare Martial Law in 2016 before elections (strong possibility) Catastrophic Earthquakes A historic earthquake along the New Madrid fault seismic zone, the Cascadia Subduction zone or any of the major faults in California could affect millions of lives, cause hundreds of billions of dollars in damage, and literally change the geography of our continent. Personally, I believe that those of us that are fortunate enough to live long enough will witness historic earthquakes in all of those areas, and scientists assure us that all three zones are way overdue for major seismic events. Even if just one of the catastrophic events that I have discussed above were to take place, it would completely change society. Unfortunately, I believe that we are entering an era of history in which a “perfect storm” that consists of a confluence of these catastrophic events will shake this nation to the core. So what do you think? Do you agree or disagree? Please feel free to add your voice to the discussion by posting a comment below…(source) Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. This is a good motto to live by, despite how you think about things. Individuals can still hope for the best (that things can and will eventually work out), but what good is your prosperity going to do if you don’t have anything to eat or a safe place to hang out for an extended period of time? Why not prepare while you still can — when things are readily available and can still be purchased at cheap prices? The coming hyper-inflation will make any such purchases beforehand look very intelligent… To prepare for the worst, you need a plan. Why are most people so against doing basic preparations that could be the difference on how they survive — or whether they survive? History shows time and again that those who prepare always fare better than those who did not. Having a plan and being determined to act on that plan will always be the best way to handle any contingencies, should they occur. After disaster strikes, your mind is going to be racing around like a car on a race track. Preplanning and having a written set of measures to take will make someone’s life go much smoother when the SHTF.

American-born children of immigrants proving fruitful recruiting ground for jihad in U.S.

By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Monday, June 13, 2016

While immigrants draw much of the attention, it’s their children who are proving to be the most fruitful recruiting ground for radical jihad in the U.S., accounting for at least half of the deadly attacks over the past decade. The latest instance of the second-generation terrorist syndrome played out in Orlando, Florida, over the weekend when Omar Mateen, son of immigrants from Afghanistan, went on a jihad-inspired rampage, killing 49 people and wounding 53 others in the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. Authorities said Mateen had flirted with other terrorist groups but declared his allegiance to the Islamic State on Sunday morning as he began his horrific spree. He follows in the footsteps of Syed Rizwan Farook, one of the San Bernardino, California, terrorists who was the son of Pakistanis; Nadir Soofi, one of two men who attacked a drawing competition in Garland, Texas, last year and whose father was from Pakistan; and then-Maj. Nidal Hassan, the child of Palestinian immigrants whose shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009 set off the modern round of deadly lone-wolf attacks. In other cases, attackers were immigrants brought to the U.S. as young children. They grew up in the U.S. but were besieged by etc. and the news story continues..

Pictured: Islamist reveals he was answering ISIS call for lone wolf attacks in Facebook video after slaughtering French police officer and his wife in front of their child

Jean-Baptiste Salvaing and Jessica Schneider killed at home near Paris

Larossi Abballa, 25, live streamed part of the attack on Facebook Live

Police shot Abballa and found the couple's three-year-old boy alive

Hit list of 'rappers, journalists, police and public figures' on his computer

Three other people, with links to Abballa, were arrested on Tuesday

By Peter Allen In Paris and Chris Summers and Julian Robinson for MailOnline Published: 17:06 EST, 13 June 2016 | Updated: 02:15 EST, 15 June 2016

An ISIS militant murdered a police commander and his wife at their home near Paris before being shot dead by officers who rescued the couple's three-year-old boy unharmed. After killing the couple Larossi Abballa, 25, recorded a 12 minute monologue to camera while in the couple's house in Magnanville and posted the video on Facebook Live. In the video, Abballa says: 'We will come and find you the way I have found this policemen at his house.' He also hinted at an ISIS attack on the Euro 2016 football tournament, saying: ‘We're keeping another surprise for the Euros but I won’t say anything more.' And, chillingly, he also hinted that the son of his victims was also in danger, saying: 'I don't know what I'm going to do with the boy.' He continued: '(President) Hollande you are ruthless but we are also heartless…I was ruthless just now towards this policeman and his wife.’ Police later raided Abballa's home and found a hit list on his computer which contained six names. Prosecutor Francois Molins said they included 'rappers, journalists, police officers and public personalities'. During Abballa's video diatribe he expressed particular hatred for journalists Bernard de La Villardière, Audrey Pulvar, Mohamed Sifaoui and Lea Salame, political scientist Gilles Kepel and rapper Booba. Booba is of Senegalese Muslim origin and was, ironically, accused of anti-Semitism in 2014 for the lyrics of a song which appeared to praise Mohammed Merah, a lone wolf who killed seven people, including a rabbi and three Jewish children in Toulouse in 2012. Abballa called on Muslims to kill journalists and police officers and added: ‘Target their fear.’ He stabbed Jean-Baptiste Salvaing, 42, nine times in the stomach at his home in the Yvelines department, north west of Paris, shortly after 8.30pm on Monday. After a three-hour stand-off elite Raid commandos entered the building, where they killed Abballa. Inside the house, they found the lifeless body of Mr Salvaing's wife, Jessica Schneider, who was an administrator who worked for the police force in Mantes-la-Jolie. The only survivor was the couple's three-year-old son, who was 'extremely shocked but otherwise unharmed'. The couple's young son was 'in shock but unharmed,' a prosecutor added, saying he was receiving medical attention. Mr Molins said Abballa pledged his allegiance to ISIS three weeks ago and appeared to be following a recent order from ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi 'to kill miscreants at home with their families' during Ramadan. Three men - 'linked to' Abballa - were arrested on Tuesday morning. They were described as 'acquaintances' and are aged 27, 29 and 44. It also emerged today the knifeman was part of a recent investigation into a Syrian jihadist network. French security expert David Thomson said Abballa posted gruesome images of the murdered couple on the internet. A 12-minute video and 15 photographs appeared on Abballa's Facebook page, along with his justifications for what he had done. Abballa's Facebook profile, under the name Mohamed Ali, was suspended in the early hours of this morning. Mr Thomson told a Paris radio station that at one point Abballa could be seen sitting on the sofa with the child behind him. Abballa wrote: 'I still don't know what I'm going to do with him.' One of his most recent Facebook posts was a mock-up of the European Championship logo, which he claimed contained masonic and occult symbols. Abballa was born in Mantes-la-Jolie, a suburb close to the scene of the killings. He had criminal convictions for theft and violence dating back to 2011. Abballa earned a living as a restaurant delivery man and used the moniker Doctor Food. Mr Thomson said he frequently used social media to call for the murders of police, prison officers and journalists, often by name. Abballa had also been sentenced in 2013 for taking part in a jihadist organisation with links to Pakistan. He was sentenced to three years behind bars, six months of which were suspended for 'criminal association with the aim of preparing terrorist acts' following a trial with seven other defendants. Despite this, he only spent a few months in prison, and is thought to have maintained his links with a group sending jihadists to fight in Afghanistan. It has also been revealed Abballa had previously claimed allegiance to ISIS and sources say he did so again while talking to officers during the siege. The terror group's al-Amaq news agency said the attacker was an 'Islamic State fighter' and claimed responsibility for the killings. Witnesses told investigators the man may have shouted 'Allahu akbar' (God is greatest) as he stabbed the policeman repeatedly. President Francois Hollande held a top-level security meeting to discuss the 'appalling terrorist act' which took place as France was on high alert for the Euro 2016 football championships. He said: 'France is not the only country concerned as we have seen, again, in the United States, in Orlando.' Mr Salvaing was an assistant chief with the judicial police at nearby Les Mureaux. The French police have set up an online book of condolences for Mr Salvaing and Ms Schneider. The killing came a day after a gunman claiming to be acting in the name of ISIS shot dead 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, in the worst mass shooting in US history. Yves Lefebvre of police union Unite SGP Police-FO said: 'Today every police officer is a target.' He said terrorists were getting more 'professional' and were able to track down police officers to their homes. The bloodshed also comes as France hosts the Euro 2016 football tournament under tight security, still reeling from jihadist attacks in Paris last November that left 130 people dead. Loud detonations were heard at the scene as RAID officers moved in following failed negotiations with the attacker. Officers found the woman's body when they stormed the building, and the attacker was killed during the assault. Mr Molins said inside the house police found three mobile phones and three knives, including one which was covered in blood. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve expressed his 'infinite sadness' at the death of the police commander and his partner, who had worked for his ministry. 'The attacker was neutralised by RAID forces, who showed great composure and great professionalism and who saved the couple's little boy,' Cazeneuve said in a statement. 'The inquiry opened by the justice authorities will establish the precise circumstances of this tragedy.' Police sources said earlier in the evening that the attacker had taken the policeman's partner, who worked as a police secretary, and son hostage after stabbing the officer to death as he returned home around 9pm. All light will be shed on the circumstances of this terrible tragedy President Francois Hollande Residents were evacuated from the neighbourhood as police moved in. RAID officers 'arrived rapidly on the scene. Negotiations were launched and an assault plan was put in place,' said Brandet. But the negotiations were 'unsuccessful' and authorities decided to launch an assault around midnight, he added. A helicopter was on the ground a few hundred metres away from the scene of the attack, while several fire trucks and ambulances were seen leaving the security perimeter. President Hollande said in a statement that he 'strongly condemned this odious act'. 'A police commander and his partner, a civil servant at the interior ministry, were shamefully murdered this evening,' Hollande said. 'All light will be shed on the circumstances of this terrible tragedy,' he added.

Klyuchevskoy erupts sending ash up to 6 km, Russia

Posted by TW on June 14, 2016 in categories Featured articles, Volcanoes

Russia's Klyuchevskoy volcano erupted late June 13, 2016, sending a column of smoke and ash high into the sky. At 22:09 UTC, a plume of ash reached an altitude of 5 - 6 km (16 400 - 19 680 feet) above sea level. At of 21:29 UTC, ash plume extended 47 km (29 miles) to the west, KVERT reported. Aviation Color Code remains on Orange since April 24, 2016. The explosive eruption of the volcano continues and ash explosions up to 6 to 8 km (19 700 to 26 240 feet) a.s.l. could occur at any time, KVERT said. Ongoing activity could affect international and low-flying aircraft. Klyuchevskoy has been almost continuously active over the past 50 years. This latest phase of strong strombolian activity started at 11:25 UTC on April 3, 2016, when a bright incandescence was observed at the summit crater. Around 13:40 UTC on April 23, strong explosions at the volcano sent ash up to 9 km (29 527 feet) above sea level. Geological summary Klyuchevskoy (also spelled Kliuchevskoi) is Kamchatka's highest and most active volcano. Since its origin about 6000 years ago, the beautifully symmetrical, 4835-m-high basaltic stratovolcano has produced frequent moderate-volume explosive and effusive eruptions without major periods of inactivity. It rises above a saddle NE of sharp-peaked Kamen volcano and lies SE of the broad Ushkovsky massif. More than 100 flank eruptions have occurred during the past roughly 3000 years, with most lateral craters and cones occurring along radial fissures between the unconfined NE-to-SE flanks of the conical volcano between 500 m and 3600 m elevation. The morphology of the 700-m-wide summit crater has been frequently modified by historical eruptions, which have been recorded since the late-17th century. Historical eruptions have originated primarily from the summit crater, but have also included numerous major explosive and effusive eruptions from flank craters.

It is with a heavy heart that break this tragic news of another doctor death. This time it is a prominent holistic doctor who practiced in Long Island, New York. His website video actually calls him a “leading physician of the world” and his patients are posting on my Facebook page (and sending emails) that they don’t believe it was suicide. Dr Alex Shvartsman, was a well known holistic dentist AND an ND (a Naturopathic Doctor). He was found dead this past weekend at his home and allegedly took his own life. It’s not unusual for many in this sad, unintended series to have multiple degrees as a doctor. This well loved doctor was a dentist and an ND, while others were MDs and PhDs or DCs with PhDs, and so on. Dr Schvartsman’s patients who have written are still in disbelief. His staff also sounded as if they were still in shock, but I didn’t ask them to elaborate on the matter. Our heart goes out to his friends and family. Multiple biographies list him as having a wife and young child (his patients confirm he had been married with a son). We will withhold those names from this article. Besides being an ND, Dr Schvartsman practiced mercury and drill free dentistry (we can’t even find a dentist in Florida who does drill free). We’ll update you as more details unfold, but suggest you read the recap and full timeline on all forty plus deaths in the Unintended Holistic Doctor Series. Among the dead is one other holistic dentist (we don’t believe he was an ND though) who was found dead on the side of the road; he was in his early 40s and in amazing shape. His close friend/patient/ fraternity brother reports he ate extremely healthfully and it just didn’t add up. Of course countless other deaths don’t add up either and there are multiple families of these prominent holistic doctors (several others in New York, as well) who have either questioned the death of their loved ones publicly, hired private investigators (with more hiring firms every month), or questioned the deaths privately- and we respect their privacy. Again, I will keep you updated and wish for all holistic doctors (including my better half of 7 years) to stay safe. You can sign up for my newsletter to keep updated on these stories. You can read the doctor’s bio and see his website here.

Russia Is Reportedly Set To Release Clinton's Intercepted Emails

Jun 13, 2016, 2:37 PM

Reliable intelligence sources in the West have indicated that warnings had been received that the Russian Government could in the near future release the text of email messages intercepted from U.S. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail server from the time she was U.S. Secretary of State. The release would, the messaging indicated, prove that Secretary Clinton had, in fact, laid open U.S. secrets to foreign interception by putting highly-classified Government reports onto a private server in violation of U.S. law, and that, as suspected, the server had been targeted and hacked by foreign intelligence services. The reports indicated that the decision as to whether to reveal the intercepts would be made by Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin, and it was possible that the release would, if made, be through a third party, such as Wikileaks. The apparent message from Moscow, through the intelligence community, seemed to indicate frustration with the pace of the official U.S. Department of Justice investigation into the so-called server scandal, which seemed to offer prima facie evidence that U.S. law had been violated by Mrs Clinton’s decision to use a private server through which to conduct official and often highly-secret communications during her time as Secretary of State. U.S. sources indicated that the extensive Deptartment of Justice probe was more focused on the possibility that the private server was used to protect messaging in which Secretary Clinton allegedly discussed quid pro quo transactions with private donors to the Clinton Foundation in exchange for influence on U.S. policy. The Russian possession of the intercepts, however, was designed also to show that, apart from violating U.S. law in the fundamental handling of classified documents (which Sec. Clinton had alleged was no worse than the mishandling of a few documents by CIA Director David Petraeus or Clinton’s National Security Advisor Sandy Berger), the traffic included highly-classified materials which had their classification headers stripped. Russian (and other) sources had indicated frustration with the pace of the Justice Dept. probe, and its avoidance of the national security aspects of intelligence handling. This meant that the topic would be suppressed by the U.S. Barack Obama Administration so that it would not be a factor in the current U.S. Presidential election campaign, in which President Obama had endorsed Mrs Clinton. Moscow’s discreet messaging about a possible leak of the traffic, in time to impact the U.S. elections, was designed to pressure faster U.S. legal action on the matter, but was largely due to Russian concerns about possible U.S. strategic policy in the event of a Hillary Clinton presidency. Apart from the breach of U.S. Federal law in the handling of classified material, the Clinton private server was, according to GIS/Defense & Foreign Affairs analysts, always likely to have been a primary target for foreign cyber warfare interception operations, particularly those of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Russia, and North Korea (DPRK), but probably also by others, including Iran.

Thousands of red tuna crabs wash up on Mission Beach, San Diego

By Strange Sounds - Jun 13, 2016

Thousands of red tuna crabs washed ashore on June 7, 2016 in Mission Beach, San Diego, California. Visitors in the area around the South Shores Park Boat Launch found beaches covered with the crabs. Red tuna crasbs are typically found off the coast of Baja California, however, El Nino weather patterns have pushed them north and onto Southern Californian beaches. Last month, millions of crabs also washed ashore in Ensenada, Mexico, on Del Monte Beach in Monterey, California and Imperial Beach.

Watchman Warning: Soft Target

By Hal Lindsey

Security analysts see all gatherings of people as potential terrorist targets. Generally, they divide them into two categories“hard targets” and “soft targets.” Hard targets are well guarded and soft targets have little or no defense. In light of the Orlando terror attack, we might expect government officials to look for ways to turn more soft targets into hard ones. But just the opposite is happening. Almost immediately following the attack, the politics of gun control began to drive much of the discussion. Gun control advocates want to diminish our ability to defend ourselves. They want to turn us — along with our places of work, of worship, and our homes — into soft targets. Under present law, a terrorist would be crazy to use guns in an assault on a conservative, evangelical church in Texas. That’s because a significant number of conservative evangelicals have chosen to take advantage of that state’s right to carry laws. Even in a small Texas church, there’s a good chance someone will be packing heat. It would be almost impossible for one terrorist to shoot over a hundred people, killing almost half — if some of those people were shooting back. Someone might argue that Jesus was against violence, but a closer look at scripture tells a more nuanced story. In Luke 9, Jesus sent some of His disciples on a short missionary journey. He “sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to perform healing. And He said to them, ‘Take nothing for your journey, neither a staff, nor a bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not even have two tunics apiece.’” (Luke 9:2-3 NASB) He did this to show them, and all who would follow, that God is our Source — not money or reserves of food. He provides for our needs. The instructions Jesus gave illustrated that even when He would no longer be physically present, His followers would never be “on their own.” God always watches over us. In Luke 22, not long before His crucifixion, Jesus reminded His disciples of that experience. He wanted them to draw on that memory so that they would always see God as their Provider. But as they were about to set out on missionary journeys that would transform the world, He told them to take some things with them, including money. That fits with what they had seen Him do. During the three years of Jesus’ ministry, the group had a treasurer and a moneybag. That would be the normal way of doing things. “He said to them, ‘When I sent you out without purse and bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?’ And they said, ‘No, nothing.’ And He said to them, ‘But now, let him who has a purse take it along, likewise also a bag, and let him who has no sword sell his robe and buy one.’” (Luke 22:35-36 NASB) Jesus did not advocate violence, but He told them to take a sword on their journeys. He said if they didn’t have a sword, they should sell something as essential as a robe in order to buy one. Self-defense is implicit in this instruction. There are no limits on God’s ability. He can just do things for us. After Philip baptized the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8, it says, “the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch saw him no more, but went on his way rejoicing. But Philip found himself at Azotus.” (Acts 8:39-40 NASB That was a transportation miracle. But in every other case we know of, the disciples of Jesus went place to place in a very natural, human way. They walked. God has the ability to snatch us up and take us where He wants, but His usual method is to let us do the things we can. God uses even our most basic abilities, like walking. He wants us to participate where we can —including in our own protection. A new editorial in Rolling Stone magazine argues that we should not be allowed that right. On June 13th, they ran an editorial calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment. Apparently the United Nations agrees. U.N. human rights commissioner Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein asked, “How many more mass killings of school-children, of co-workers, of African-American churchgoers, how many more individual shootings of talented musicians like Christina Grimmie, or politicians like Gabrielle Giffords, will it take before the United States adopts robust gun regulation?” But here’s the problem. If we must depend only on police and other government agencies to defend us, then almost everything and everyone will be a soft target. NFL football games won’t be, but your kid’s soccer game will. Hollywood studios will remain hard targets, but the local multiplex will be a soft target — as will your local grocery store, school, church, and park. But if people who pass a certain level of screening and testing are allowed the means to defend themselves, they will also defend the people around them — hardening targets everywhere. In all of this, we have to remember that God remains the ultimate defense. We may water the garden, but only God can make vegetables grow. It’s the same with defense. Psalms 33 says, “The king is not saved by a mighty army; A warrior is not delivered by great strength. A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength. Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope for His lovingkindness, To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.” (Psalms 33:16-20 NASB) While those words give me comfort as an individual, they give me grave concern for my country. The United States of America has the strongest, most powerful military in the history of the world by far. But that alone is not enough. If we as a nation do not turn to God for deliverance, the United States itself will soon become a “soft target.”

The chattering classes are disturbed that Trump questioned Obama’s loyalties in the fight against jihad, but does he have a point?

June 16, 2016, 12:00 pm

It’s instructive, but certainly not surprising, that in the wake of the deadliest terror attack on American soil since 9/11 President Obama’s reaction was to reach for gun control as a solution. Put another way, in the face of evidence that the global, ISIS-inspired jihad has penetrated the federal government’s security apparatus and demonstrated the FBI, CIA, and local law enforcement cannot stop “known wolf” jihadists from committing mass murder in the name of Allah, this president’s reaction was to act to disarm the public to the threat. That there will be no passage of new gun control legislation and the president is well aware of this fact didn’t appear to dissuade him at all. That similarly, to parrot previous babblings about gun control in the face of what clearly was a jihadist attack serves almost exclusively to divide the country at a time common sense and propriety demands it be brought together certainly didn’t faze him. Following Obama’s reactions, the presumptive Republican nominee for president Donald Trump dropped a rhetorical bomb on the incumbent. Appearing via phone on Fox and Friends Monday morning, he said, “[Obama] doesn’t get it, or he gets it better than anybody understands. It’s one or the other. And either one is unacceptable.” Which is a pointed way of phrasing the question lots of people have been troubled by; namely, is the president’s complete failure to keep the country safe from jihadist terrorists and seeming uninterest in doing so rooted in incompetence — or something else? We’ll leave aside the question whether it’s politically smart or befitting a presidential candidate to take so pronounced a swing, and stick to the obvious — Trump got under Obama’s skin. The president delivered a five-minute vituperative rant on live TV, accusing the Republican candidate of “yappin’” and said it was “dangerous” for Trump to exhibit “sloppiness” and “loose talk” such as his proposal to have a hiatus on Muslim entry into the United States and asking “Do Republican officials actually agree with this?” Trump then tweeted a link to a Breitbart article which made the claim that Obama, and his first-term Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who is the Donald’s opponent in November, had fueled the development of ISIS by setting up a training program for Syrian rebels opposed to its dictator Bashar Assad. A CBS poll showed that by a two-to-one ratio (51-25), the public didn’t approve of Trump’s approach, but clearly Trump is the one driving the discussion and, to the extent any of this can be enjoyable, he’s the one having more fun with the narrative. But the question is whether he’s right. And as much as others on the Republican side might have strokes about what he’s saying, or call it counterproductive to ask as to Obama’s loyalties, Trump will at least have little trouble finding ammunition for his arguments. After all, why was a 25-year old Syrian immigrant who has said 9/11 changed the world for good recently appointed to Obama’s Homeland Security Advisory Council’s (HSAC) Subcommittee on Countering Violent Extremism? That program, by the way, is fraught with a level of wrong-headedness it would be hard to imagine coming from a president not named Obama. Essentially, at its heart is the concept that enlisting Muslim sharia advocates on our side to do rhetorical battle with ISIS will keep us safe. Daniel Greenfield accurately characterizes this stupidity: CVE tells us that the best way to fight violent extremists is with “non violent extremist” Salafi clergy who have the most influence on them. We’re supposed to fight the ISIS Caliphate with supporters of another kind of Caliphate. What it really comes down to is paying Muslims to argue with other Muslims on social media. And hope that the Muslims we’re paying to do the arguing are the good kind of extremists, like the Muslim Brotherhood, and not the bad kind of extremists, like ISIS. Even though they’re both vicious killers. Essentially, as Greenfield notes, Obama has outsourced our Muslim outreach to CAIR and the Saudis. Is it so insane to wonder whether the leader of this administration is more than just a bumbling idiot? Why has the Obama administration purged subject-matter experts like Phil Haney from government agencies tasked with counterterrorism for the sin of accurately describing the cultural and religious underpinnings of the jihadist movement and investigating potential jihadists accordingly? The Iran deal? The overthrow of the Qaddafi regime in Libya after it had tried to align itself with the U.S. and cooperated with us on fighting Al Qaeda? Backing the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt? Particularly given the perceived level of influence one of its operatives had as Clinton’s right-hand woman in the State Department. Refusing to aid Israel in its attempts to defend itself against jihadists? Everything about Jeh Johnson? We already know the results of this mishmash of counterintuitive policy ideas. America is less safe from jihadist terrorism now than it has ever been, America has fewer committed allies in the fight against jihad than ever, the American people have less confidence in the government’s ability to keep the peace (one of the most interesting outcomes of Orlando is the sudden uptick in firearms interest in the gay community), and the enemy is more emboldened than ever. Whether politically it’s a good idea to bring all of this to a head or not, is it really so wrong to ask whether there is a method behind eight years of policy drift on so crucially important an issue?

The Real Reason Satan Is Raging Against Christians Right Now

8:00AM EDT 6/15/2016 Michael Youssef

In my recent book, End Times and the Secret of the Mahdi: Unlocking the Mystery of Revelation and the Antichrist, I offer an action plan for living confidently in today's turbulent times. During the next several posts, I will draw from this book to examine current events in light of end-times prophecies. Today's post follows part one of the book The Revelation of Jesus Christ. God has used the book of Revelation as the capstone of the entire Bible. It reveals the ultimate fulfillment of prophecies going back to the beginning of Genesis. And through that, we can discover how to apply those insights to our lives today. Atheist philosophers tell us that human life is meaningless. But Revelation assures us that God cares greatly about our individual lives—and about the future of planet Earth. Although things seem to be spinning out of control, God has a triumphant conclusion planned. But are we ready? Are we ready today for that conclusion? Though Jesus could return at any time, the signs seem to be aligning for His return sooner rather than later. Every day, there is more terrible news from the Middle East — the very region where history began and where it will all end. Today, the nation of Israel, the holy land, seems all but isolated, including from its old ally, the United States. Today, more Christians are martyred than ever before. Today, the rapid and ruthless rise of ISIS has resulted in an actual state that controls large regions of Iraq and Syria, plus parts of Nigeria, Libya and Southeast Asia. The ISIS reign of terror crosses national borders, enforcing its rule with beheadings and mass slaughter. But although it is brutal, ISIS provides stability, and many who live under ISIS control welcome the stability of oppression. I'm not saying that ISIS is the precursor to the Antichrist. But as we look at the horror coming out of the Middle East, it is impossible not to compare those scenes with the Antichrist's reign of terror, as described in Daniel, Revelation and other prophetic passages of Scripture. Daniel tells us that during the time of the Antichrist "there will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then" (Dan. 12:1). But the signs go far beyond Middle East conflict and much closer to home. Today, the United States federal debt stands at $18.6 trillion, 74 percent of the GDP. And entitlement spending will soon explode the debt sky-high. Those who pay attention to the global debt crisis can easily envision the global economic collapse described in Revelation 18. Also today, we see U.S. government officials trampling our First Amendment rights in ways unthinkable a few years ago. Today, religious liberty is endangered as it takes a backseat to political correctness. Today, fundamental truths about gender and sexual behavior are cast aside by secular and religious authorities alike. Paul said in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 that in the church there would be a great "falling away" from the faith before the Day of the Lord. We already see a great "falling away" in the evangelical church. Many churches that once preached the pure gospel of Jesus Christ have defected. Why is all this happening now? The Bible doesn't tell us, but here's my opinion: I believe Satan is intensifying his actions against Christians because he senses that time is growing short. He is desperate to do as much damage as he can, to cause as much suffering as he can, to take as many souls with him as he can. Although the headlines are filled with evidence that society is on a collision course with the book of Revelation, don't be alarmed. God did not give us the book of Revelation to frighten us, or certainly to let us predict the future. God alone knows the future. But He did give us the book of Revelation to motivate and encourage us. Between the bookends of Genesis and Revelation, the Bible spans the history of the human race. Genesis tells the story of humanity's creation and fall. Revelation describes the redemption and eternal destiny of all believers. The book of Revelation is indispensable. If we did not have Revelation, we would have an incomplete picture of Jesus Christ and the Christian faith. The Old Testament presents a picture of Jesus, the promised Messiah. The Gospels present a picture of Jesus, the Teacher, Leader, Servant, the Crucified and Risen One. The Book of Acts gives us Jesus as the Ascended One. In the epistles, we see Jesus as Savior and Lord. But only in Revelation do we see Jesus fully glorified, King of kings, Lord of lords and Judge of all. In Revelation 1:8, the Lord says, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." But the Alpha-Omega statement also appears at the end of Revelation. In Revelation 22:13, the Lord says, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End." Jesus is saying: "I was here at the beginning, I am here now, and I will be here at the end. I was here at Creation, and I will be here when heaven and Earth are made new." Jesus is the King of Glory, worthy of honor and praise—the Lord of the beginning and the end. John, who was probably closest to Jesus of the Twelve, looked at the glorified Jesus and didn't say, "I saw my good friend Jesus." He said, "I saw someone like a Son of Man." Then he proceeded to describe the Lord's appearance. The Lord was "clothed with a garment down to the feet and with a golden sash wrapped around the chest. The hair on His head was white like wool, as white as snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire. His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters. He had in His right hand seven stars, and out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword. His appearance was like the sun shining brightly" (Rev. 1:13b-16). The sight of the glorified Jesus was so awesome that John "fell at his feet as though dead." Certainly we must long for the day when we will see Jesus fully magnified and ruling over all. But as readers of Revelation know, there will be a Great Tribulation too. But when will that happen? And will the Lord take His church out of the world before the Great Tribulation begins? Only God knows the answers. But let's not get sidetracked by minor details, because then we might miss the big picture. The "big picture" themes of the book of Revelation are: First, all who welcome Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior will be welcomed into heaven when He returns. Second, Jesus will return as He promised. Third, Jesus will sit in righteous judgment over all who have refused to accept Him as Lord and Savior during their earthly lives. Fourth, when Jesus appears, all who love Him will be with Him forever. Christians of good will may debate the details of this prophecy, but those four principles are beyond debate. So we must be ready. As Jesus tells us: Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him (Matt. 24:42-44). If we study the book of Revelation, it will not merely increase our knowledge. It will change our lives. Because of its life-changing truths, you and I can live each day with eternity in our hearts. Are we ready for the Lord's return? Michael Youssef, Ph.D., is the founder and president of Leading the Way with Dr. Michael Youssef, a worldwide ministry that leads the way for people living in spiritual darkness to discover the light of Christ through the creative use of media and on-the-ground ministry teams. Youssef was born in Egypt.

It's not guns, it's Islam

Thursday, June 16, 2016 Bryan Fischer - Guest Columnis

The Orlando massacre reveals one of the most profound differences between Islam and Christianity: Christianity wants homosexuals helped ... Islam wants them dead.

Bryan Fischer The Orlando massacre reveals one of the most profound differences between Islam and Christianity: Christianity wants homosexuals helped ... Islam wants them dead. President Obama, as I predicted, did not mention the phrase "Islamic terrorism" once in his brief remarks in the wake of the Muslim massacre at the homosexual nightclub in Orlando. And just as predictably, he blamed guns, even though there are 1.4 million Florida gun owners who did not commit mass murder over the weekend. If we step back, take a deep breath, and look at things objectively, there is no other conclusion we can draw other than that Islam is the problem. Islam has been the problem for Christian and Western civilization since 632 A.D., and there is no sign that the problem is getting better instead of worse. The issue is the very nature of the religion of Muhammad. The problem is not "radical Islam." The problem is Islam itself. The abiding command of Allah, found in Sura 9:5, is "Slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them." Muslims have been obeying this command religiously since the 7th century, and Omar Mateen was simply the latest in a long line of the devout to kill infidels in the name of their god. Islam has been the Ebola virus of culture since Satan's revelation to Muhammad in the cave. There is no known antidote other than the gospel of Jesus Christ. If a Muslim will not take the cure, then he remains a carrier of the virus, a virus which can remain dormant in most Muslims but then can spring to life almost without warning. When the Ebola epidemic erupted, sound immigration policy in the West blocked immigration from Ebola-ravaged countries. We knew we were blocking immigration to many who were not carriers and represented no threat to public health. But we had no way to identify the carriers from the non-carriers before it was too late. Rational public policy required us to be careful with them all. A rational, objective, logical, PC-free evaluation of Islam should lead us in the same direction. We can readily stipulate that most Muslims do not represent a jihadist threat to innocent Americans. But we simply have no way of distinguishing the Muslims who do not represent a lethal threat from the ones who do. Logic dictates that we must be careful with them all. Some voices are demanding we just stop allowing dangerous Muslims into the U.S., which of course is advice with which we all agree. But they can't tell us how to spot them. There is no Geiger-counter type wand TSA can wave over immigrants from Muslim majority countries which will alert us to the bad guys. Syrian refugees, according to the FBI itself, are impossible to vet, and President Obama is importing 100 of them every single day. Now of course Omar Mateen did not immigrate. But his parents did, from Afghanistan, a country in which 99% of immigrants believe in sharia law. Sharia law leads directly to homosexuals being thrown off eight-story buildings or gunned down in cold blood at nightspots. Omar himself, according to a classmate, celebrated the 9/11 attacks and attended a mosque which featured a guest imam in 2013 who quite explicitly called for the death of homosexuals in the name of Allah and in the name of compassion. In other words, Omar was a carrier. In order to protect our culture from the toxin of fundamentalist Islam and other Omar Mateens, many are rightly calling for severe restrictions on Muslim immigration, or the elimination of Muslim immigration altogether (my view). The Constitution gives to Congress unilateral authority to set parameters for immigration. Immigration to the United States is not a right; it is a privilege, which can be restricted in any way that is necessary to protect our safety and security. We do not need to bring Muslim refugees to the United States. There are 57 Muslim nations which follow "the religion of peace." This means, according to the left, there should be dozens of havens of Muslim tranquility, peace, and serenity around the globe where Muslims fleeing war should be able to find a home. Let's use the resources of America to help them find one of those Muslim havens. That way, we can both demonstrate compassion and protect America at the same time. The PC crowd faces a real dilemma, as its second most-favored group (Muslims) has now been graphically revealed to represent a lethal threat to its top most-favored group, homosexuals. (This incident, by the way, reveals one of the most profound differences between Islam and Christianity. Christianity wants homosexuals helped, Islam wants them dead.) Now the PC crowd certainly won't call for a suspension of Islamic immigration to protect Western civilization, America, or Christianity. But perhaps they can be persuaded to suspend Islamic immigration to protect homosexuals. Bottom line: Islam is the problem, immigration restriction is the cure. Let's hope we find the will to implement the cure before it's too late.

Was Voice Contestant Christina Grimmie Killed Because of Her Christian Faith?

By Leonardo Blair , Christian Post Reporter June 14, 2016|1:15 pm

Christina Grimmie poses at a media event for the television show "The Voice" in Universal City, California, April 15, 2014. image: http://graphic.christianpost.com/images/homepage11/enlarge4.png 

A new report circulating online says murdered singer and popular contestant on NBC's "The Voice," Christina Grimmie, might have been killed because of her Christian faith. According to the Santa Monica Observer, Orlando Police are investigating Grimmie's death as a hate crime after examining cell phone and computer records of her killer, Kevin James Loibl, 27. Loibl shot Grimmie on Friday night as she signed autographs after a concert in Orlando, Florida. The Observer did not specify the exact source of the information from the Orlando Police Department. In an email response to The Christian Post on Tuesday regarding the investigation into Grimmie's death, police department spokesperson Wanda Miglio said: "I have received no information about that rumor." On Tuesday morning, Orlando Police indicated in a tweet that they were still working on the case despite the tragedy at the popular gay nightclub Pulse that left 49 dead and more than 50 others injured. "Even w/the events in last few days, our detectives are still working #ChristinaGrimmie case," the tweet said.

Plan B Is Going Into Effect to Stop Trump Because the Elite Cannot Hide Clinton’s Criminality From the Masses

Dave Hodges

Christmas, my birthday and my wedding anniversary arrived on the same day. Information is pouring in about the abject and heinous criminality of Hillary Clinton faster than it can be fully reported. For 15 months, I have known that the Clinton Foundation had participatory ties to state sponsored terrorism, alliances with known enemies of the United States and it breaks every campaign finance law on the books. The Clinton Foundation and Uranium One Last year, I was alerted by an anonymous deep cover source that the New York Times was about to publish an article which implicated the Clinton Foundation for selling uranium to the Russian government in exchange for (1) a direct cash payment made by the Russian government to the Clinton Foundation in exchange for the raw nuclear material; and, (2) a direct payment to Bill Clinton for a speeches made in Moscow. Two weeks ago, I was instructed by my source as they thought it would help to create a headline that linked Clinton to the CIA/KGB which I did. I was told that this would help to potentially trigger complementary releases of information to what I had previously written about the Clinton Foundation. These new leaks which confirm what I have been saying since 2015 have begun to occur. After reading this article, most will have little difficulty linking the criminal foundation to espionage and treason. These links are occurring quietly and being shared among confidants. However, large chunks of information, supporting this notion are now appearing in public with large parts of the jigsaw puzzle on display. Hillary Clinton Bows to the Trump Challenge Hillary Clinton is coming under fire for a tweet last year in which she claimed Muslims have “nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism.” Considering the official narrative for 9/11 this is statement supportive of extreme Muslim terrorism on its face. However, in light of the Trump challenge to acknowledge extreme Muslim terrorism by Donald Trump following the Orlando massacre, Clinton has been forced to acknowledge the threat of “radical Islamism.” “I have clearly said we have terrorist enemies who use Islam to justify slaughtering innocent people,” Clinton said on NBC’s “Today” show this past Monday. The reason for the previous Clinton denial of terrorism being connected to radical applications of Islam will be clear in the next several paragraphs. Stunning Revelation by Former DHS Security Agent Retired Department of Homeland Security (DHS) security agent, Philip Haney, is reporting that the mosque that Omar Mateen attended several times every week is the exact same mosque protected by Hillary Clinton’s State Department Muslim protection policy after the Islamic terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California which was carried out by Syed Farook. Haney previously made the case that the mosque was an object of deep concern regarding radical terrorism. However, Haney’s work drew drew concern and criticism from Clinton’s State Department and the DHS’s Civil Rights and Liberties Office because “they believed it unfairly singled out Muslims”. Subsequently, Haney’s report was heavily edited and tossed onto the scrap heap of history. No action was taken to shut down the mosque as it should have been. From Political Insider:“As a member of one of the National Targeting Center’s advanced units, Haney helped develop a case in 2011 on a worldwide Islamic movement known as Tablighi Jamaat, as he recounts in his new book “See Something, Say Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government’s Submission to Jihad.” Within a few months, the case drew the “concern” of the State Department and the DHS’s Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Office because the Obama administration believed it unfairly singled out Muslims. The intelligence, however, had been used to connect members of the movement to several terrorist organizations and financing at the highest levels, including for Hamas and al-Qaida.” It is widely known that Mateen was the target of three separate FBI investigations. What has been learned and just released from Political Insider reveals the reason for the third investigation. Mateen was investigated for a thrid time because of his association with a fellow member of the Fort Pierce Mosque, a “22-year-old Moner Mohammad Abusalha, blew himself up in an attack in Syria in 2014 with an explosives-laden truck. The association of the Fort Pierce mosque to terrorism was no undeniable. Then why did the third investigation suddenly end with no action taken? WND wrote that “Haney reports that Obama’s FBI had Mateen on their radar at least twice, but both times the investigation was shut down. This means Hillary Clinton’s State Department is directly responsible for not flagging Mateen and getting Islamic terrorists off the streets. This is outrageous, and it should disqualify Hillary Clinton from being President of the Untied States”. The failure of the FBI to act up on Mateen can only be explained by the Clinton policy put into place to block all investigations in radical Muslim terrorism which Haney witnessed in person. More evidence, which comes from Fox, which supports the fact that enough evidence is known that Mateen’s ex-wife knew of his Orlando plans and she may have have even transported him to the site of the massacre. With the NSA and the Patriot Acts in tow, how did the FBI now know what Mateen was up to? They had to have known. It was very likely that both AG Loretta Lynch and the Clinton policy at the State Department of not investigating Muslims became the roadblocks to any investigation. Martial Law Is Locked and Cocked My colleague and friend, Paul Martin, of Revolution Radio.org, has proven through the years to have quality sources and one of his best sources has made a revelation to Paul that is very disturbing. As the subtitle indicates, Paul’s source has said that martial law is “locked and cocked”. And once martial law is instituted , he has been told that where you are when martial law is rolled out, is where you will stay. Make your travel plans accordingly. Also, martial law will not be called martial law, it will officially be referred to as continuity of government. What Could Bring About Martial Law? The need for the criminal elite to roll out martial law is predicated on their need to institute Plan B. Plan A was to have Hillary march into the White House and promptly sell this country down the proverbial river. However, so many people are learning about the totality of Clinton’s criminality, she will not be able to get elect by November, even with the help of massive voter fraud. Subsequently, the need for Plan B is quickly arriving. And what exactly is Plan B? As I have stated in previous articles, I learned by accident about a huge George Soros presence at the Republican Convention through the implantation of such groups as moveon.org and black live matter. Along these lines look at what is surfacing below. Conclusion Plan B is apparently going into effect. Hillary Clinton has too much to defend to get elected. By November, her rap sheet would be known to all, despite the MSM complicity to hide this information. Plan B puts America under martial law and Obama stays in Office. How much of this do I believe? I am ending all vacations this summer before the beginning of the Republican Convention.

Trump Unleashes 'Political Flamethrower' Upon Hillary Whose Campaign Is Being Financed By Terrorists! With 'Terrorist Enabling' Clinton Still Running For The Highest Office In The Land And Not In Prison, America Is 'Ripe For Revolution'

June 15, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

On Tuesday, Susan Duclos told us in a story on ANP that there are over 3,186 mosques and Islamic schools in the US and 75% of them are part of a 'jihad network' that has been made 'off limits' to US intelligence agencies and the FBI by both Hillary Clinton's State Department as well as the Obama administration. Susan warned us that 'Americans are in the bullseye' and most are totally clueless to the dangers that we face from the 'religion' of Islam. (We use the term 'religion' loosely in describing Islam...Islam is NOT A RELIGION...it is clearly a totalitarian political system.) Donald Trump has, thankfully, vowed to end Americans ignorance. Will he have the chance to do so before it's too late? Why is his opponent in the race not only enabling terrorism and the rise of ISIS but running a campaign that is being funded by 9/11 terrorists as excerpted below from this story from Zero Hedge and heard in the 2nd video below from Infowars? As we also hear from Gary Franchi and the Next News Network in the 1st video below, Trump has just unleashed a political flamethrower upon Hillary following Orlando. As a reminder, It is illegal in the United States for foreign countries to try to influence the outcome of elections by funding candidates. That appears not to have stopped the Saudis, however. Saudi Arabia always has sponsored both Republican and Democratic Party of America and in America current election also provide with full enthusiasm 20 percent of the cost of Hillary Clinton’s election even though some events in the country don’t have a positive look to support the king of a woman (sic) for presidency,” the report quoted Prince Mohammed as having said. According to the US Federal Election commission, over the past two years Clinton has raised a little more than $211.8 million. 20% of this sum is $42.4 million. The report was published (and then mysteriously deleted) on the eve of Prince Mohammed making an official visit to the United States. The Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday that the senior royal was due to fly to Washington where he will meet officials to discuss US-Saudi ties. As we also reported earlier today, the head of the FBI James Comey had recently warned that finding such murderers as Omar Mateen was like 'finding a needle in a nationwide haystack' though we strongly remind them that starting at mosques nationwide would be a very good starting point. The FBI certainly has no room what-so-ever to be 'politically correct' when American lives are on the line as they are now. How many more 'Orlando's' are in the works by those who want to slaughter us and are no longer being surveilled due to Clinton and Obama's 'political correctness'? This story, however, isn't to criticize our FBI nor intelligence agencies or law enforcement agencies but to go after those who have effectively 'shut down' our eyes and ears in the biggest breeding ground for terrorists across America; the mosques and Islamic schools nationwide that are harboring terrorists and preaching terror to their followers. For those who still believe that Islam is not the problem, we have to remind you of these indisputable facts.: Why would Hillary Clinton and Obama effectively open the door for ISIS to slaughter Americans? Why is our own president seemingly more angry at Donald Trump for pointing out facts than at the terrorist who shot up Orlando? More and more proof is emerging that Obama and Clinton are enabling the terrorists here to move around freely in America, and we have to point out here, Trump is absolutely correct! The mere fact that Hitlery's State Department nixed an investigation into the mosque of the Orlando coward and the DHS has ordered agents to scrub records of Muslims here in America with terror ties should be enough to make sure Hillary and other members of this administration are brought up on accessory to murder charges yet Hitlery still runs for the highest office of the land. If that in itself doesn't show how far America has fallen into pure evil, maybe nothing does. Maybe America really is 'ripe for revolution' in 2016 with war criminal and murderer Hillary Clinton attempting to hold on to power for the globalists who've been working dilligently for years to slay America. If all hell breaks loose this summer because of anger at the corrupted political system, don't say we didn't warn you of the building anger. So did former President John F. Kennedy who warned back on March 13, 1962: "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." However, those on the left who feel they have no choice but to revolt violently against a broken and corrupt political system exemplified by the fact that Hillary Clinton is still in the race and not in prison DO have a choice; all they need to do is look at the very real revolution that has already taken place on the right...an America 1st candidate has been selected by the Republicans against the will of the GOP establishment. Isn't it time that the left, particularly the anti-war left sick and tired of the endless wars of the Clinton/Bush/Obama regimes, and the LGBT community put at grave risk by the Obama/Clinton/globalist policies, jump aboard the Trump revolution even if it means having to deal with the reality of the threat and scourge of Islam? Anybody on the left who is reading this needs to learn these very real and indisputable facts: Islam is not your friend and wanting borders is not racism. One thing is for sure, the masses on the left agree with the masses on the right, none of us want Hillary Clinton in Washington DC in January of 2017. Only the politically clueless, globalists and war criminals are still supporting Hillary while she's squirming as she's publicly ripped to shreds in both the alternative and mainstream media for enabling these terrorist attacks upon America by turning a blind eye to the 'death cult' that is Islam. Will America explode this summer of 2016 in chaos and revolution or will the American people, left and right, PEACEFULLY come together to overcome after realizing that we all have been 'taken for a ride' by the globalists within both the Democratic and Republican parties who have been working against our Republic for many years? Many years a 'pacifist', I've personally long been against violence as a means to an end (unless it is absoutely necessary in self defense) as it brings nothing but very real pain. I still stand against it now whether it be violence taken by 'protesters' against our public servants, violence taken against Americans for their race, religion or political views, ISIS inflicting very real carnage on innocent people across the world or our govt or NATO or other nations involved in UNJUST wars around the world. As long as there is a 'political end' to the globalists attempt to overthrow America, we'd be wise to 'ride that Revolution' into the sunset while we still can. Nobody is going to make everybody happy but the facts outlined in the must-read Facebook post below videos prove to us that at one group of people won't be happy no matter what happens politically, short of Sharia law in America. The post below comes to us from the Facebook page of actor Kevin Sorbo along with his introduction. Please keep in mind what we now know - as long as those in positions of power are doing nothing about this, they are enabling these acts to happen. How many more of the acts of terror described below were enabled by Hillary Clinton or those within govt who have blocked the investigations into terrorism at mosques due to political correctness? From actor Kevin Sorbo's Official Facebook Page April 18, 2015 · Yeah, I know this is long, but it will only take you 2 minutes to read. It is so good. I have posted this once before a while back, but needs to get out there again. Yeah, I also know that facts bug many of you. Sorry for more facts. THIS IS WORTH THE TIME IT TAKES TO READ!!!

Have you ever seen a Muslim hospital?

Have you heard a Muslim orchestra?

Have you seen a Muslim band march in a parade?

Have you witnessed a Muslim charity?

Have you shaken hands with a Muslim Girl Scout?

Have you seen a Muslim Candy Striper?

The answer is no, you have not. Just ask yourself WHY ???

Barack Obama, during his Cairo speech, said: "I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America 's history." AN AMERICAN CITIZEN'S RESPONSE Dear Mr. Obama: Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians. Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians. Can you show me one Muslim signature on the: United States Constitution? Declaration of Independence ? Bill of Rights? Didn't think so. Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England ? No. Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America ? No, they did not. In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery. Your own half-brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as "pug nosed slaves." Says a lot of what the Muslim world really thinks of your family's "rich Islamic heritage," doesn't it Mr. Obama? Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country? Not present. There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights. Where were Muslims during this country's Woman's Suffrage era? Again, not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture. So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the 'hajib' or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims are all for women's rights, aren't they? Where were Muslims during World War II? They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from the Nazi's in killing Jews. Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001? If they weren't flying planes into the World Trade Center , the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East . No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news network's that day. Strangely, the very "moderate" Muslims who's asses you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo , Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day. And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here in America ..... Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates. They were Muslims. And now we can add November 5, 2009 - the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan .. Also, don't forget the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15.2013 was done by 2 Muslim Brothers. That, Mr. Obama is the "Muslim heritage" in America

Rainbow Flag Flies Outside Tulsa Public Schools Office

Posted: Jun 15, 2016 12:28 PM EST Updated: Jun 16, 2016 5:08 PM EST By: Emory Bryan, News On 6  TULSA, Oklahoma -

A "Gay Pride" flag is flying outside the headquarters of Tulsa Public Schools; according to the school board, the superintendent put it there. The flag is hard to see just passing by, but it's there, at half-staff, and most people wouldn't see it unless they visit the building. The district said it's a symbol of support as the American, Oklahoma and Gay Pride flags fly together outside the office of Tulsa Public Schools. It's surrounded by trees, and few people driving by seemed to notice, and the few people willing to talk about it seemed to mind. "I don't think that's a concern really. It's just showing solidarity, and I'm all for it," one person said. Another said, "I think, just having the solidarity is enough. I don't think it has to be a political statement." It's not unusual for the district to respond publicly to a news event, but never before has the district displayed a political symbol as a show of support. A district spokesman said it's there because: "We are deeply saddened by the recent senseless act of violence in Orlando, and we fly the pride flag to honor those affected by this tragedy. Tulsa Public Schools is a district committed to fostering safe and supportive climates where all of our students, teachers, and staff feel affirmed and respected." School board president, Lana Turner-Addison, said she didn't know the flag was there but said she talked with the superintendent who said it was her decision to have it up. One teacher said she supported it. "Personally, I don't think it's a political statement. We have a lot of students who identify as LGBTQ, and I think it's supporting our students and making them feel welcome," she said. The Pride flag is so new it has wrinkles from being folded. The district hasn't said who it belongs to, or how long it will fly. There are people opposed to the flag flying on a public school campus, but most commented online rather than on camera.

German ‘Boots on the Ground’ as NATO Troop Build-Up Continues on Syria-Turkey Border

June 15, 2016 By Vanessa Beeley 5 Comments 21st Century Wire says…

The US and NATO are pulling out all stops to turn their Syrian quagmire into something resembling their objectives in Syria. While US and UK troops had been setting up base in the north of Syria ostensibly in order to strike ISIS in Raqqa, the Syrian Arab Army has stolen a march on them with air-cover from the RUAF. In today’s reports from the Syrian Arab News Agency, we hear that the Syrian Army Air Force destroyed ISIS vehicles to the north of the Zakia crossroads and the south side of Tabqa city in the countryside of Raqqa province. Meanwhile, SANA claim that French and German forces have invaded north western Syria in the Ain al-Arab [Kobani] and Manbij areas. This brings them into proximity to the hotly contested Aleppo, Al Qaeda/Al Nusra central where 90% of civilians are being targeted daily in the government held western sectors of the city by a variety of US & NATO backed terrorists gangs embedded in the northern and eastern sectors, aided and abetted by their first response team, US and NATO funded Syria White Helmets. The following report is from the Syrian Arab News Agency in Damascus: “Syria on Wednesday strongly condemned the presence of French and German special forces in Ain al-Arab and Manbij areas. In a statement to SANA, an official source at Foreign and Expatriates Ministry considered this presence as a blatant interference, a flagrant violation of UN Charter’s principles and an overt unjustified aggression on the sovereignty and independence of Syria. “Commenting on news circulated regarding the presence of groups of French and German special forces in Ain al-Arab and Manbij areas on the Syrian territories, the Syrian Arab Republic vehemently condemns this blatant interference that constitutes a flagrant violation of UN Charter’s principles and an overt unjustified aggression on the sovereignty and independence of Syria,” the source said. It added that claiming that this violation comes within counter-terrorism process cannot delude any one because the active and legitimate counter-terrorism requires cooperation with the legitimate Syrian Government, whose army and people are fighting terrorism on each inch of the Syrian territory providing great sacrifices to cleanse the country of terrorism which constitutes a serious threat to the entire security and stability of the world. The source continued to say that the real intentions of this interference are beyond combating terrorism, especially that the countries involved in this action have constituted a main supporter to terrorism since the eruption of the crisis in Syria and hindered any sincere international effort for putting an end to this plague, particularly in terms of giving legitimacy to some terrorist groups through considering them moderate although their approach and ideology are not different from those of ISIS and al-Nusra. It added that the Syrian people stress once again their absolute adherence to the sovereignty and independence of Syria and its territorial integrity and readiness to provide more sacrifices to defend it. The Syrian Arab Republic calls the aggressor states to wake up from daydreams and abandon their illusions and colonialist mentality as the eras of Mandate and Guardianship have irretrievably gone.” In July 2013, the outgoing head of the British Army said the West would have to invade Syria if it wanted to topple the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. “You have to be able, as we did successfully in Libya, to hit ground targets,” General David Richards told The Telegraph. “If you want to have the material effect that people seek [i.e. Assad’s ouster] … you would be going to war if that is what you want to do.” According to Reuters, Germany is hotly denying the presence of their special forces in northern Syria: “There are no German special forces in Syria. The accusation is false,” a ministry spokesman said. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the Syrian civil war now in its sixth year, said French special forces were building a base for themselves near Kobani. France’s defense minister said last week that there were special forces operating in Syria helping the SDF advance towards Manbij. The Observatory also said German, French and American military advisers, and French and American special forces, were assisting the SDF in its fight against Islamic State but had so far remained in a support role and not fought on front lines.” The US and NATO is failing in Syria and it is failing because the Syrian people have steadfastly supported their armed forces and elected Government despite five years of crippling sanctions, US and NATO terrorism, hostile media and NGO complex generated propaganda on a scale never before witnessed in the history of imperialism. They will continue to fail but not without moving every chess piece at their command around the bloodied road map of Syria that is thwarting their neocolonialism and exposing their hypocrisy with every devious move they make.

It’s Be Kind to ISIS Week at the White House

By Ray Starmann

It’s 2016 America, where a feckless, gun grabbing, community organizer serves as Commander in Chief and half the nation is too politically correct to mutter the words, Radical Islamic Terrorism. Carpet bombing is out, soft spoken excuses are in. As ISIS rejoices over another mass slaughter perpetrated against the US by a crazed Jihadi hell bent on hitting a grand slam for Allah, the Democrats blame the problem on the Second Amendment. Yesterday, the nation awaited a response from the President. It got one. Instead of providing a coherent strategy to destroy ISIS or reassure Americans that he’s on the job, the President used the time to apologize for Islam, rant against Trump and present an infomercial on the benefits of diversity. Here are some highlights from the speech. The President’s comments are in italics: At the outset, I want to reiterate our objective in this fight. Our mission is to destroy ISIL. It is? I don’t think the White House has any objective at all. Why ISIL, Mr. President? Do you feel more academic by referring to those murdering bastards as ISIL instead of ISIS? Our aircraft continue to launch from the USS Harry Truman, now in the Mediterranean. Our B-52 bombers are hitting ISIL with precision strikes. Yes, we’re using one of the great terror weapons in the world, the B-52 to fire cruise missiles instead of saturating an area with carpet bombing. It’s like firing one round at a time with a machine gun. Targets are being identified and hit even more quickly — so far, 13,000 airstrikes. This campaign at this stage is firing on all cylinders. Firing on all cylinders? Pardon me while I choke on laughter. We’re firing on half a cylinder at best. The President’s 13,000 airstrikes in nearly two years of Operation Inherent Resolve make it an average of roughly 18 sorties a day against ISIS, which nearly three quarters are waved off because some liberal think tank pansy in the White House is concerned about collateral or environmental damage. Compare this to the 3,000 sorties a day in Desert Storm during the first week, which dropped down to 1500 a day during the rest of the war. Obama’s War on ISIS should be renamed Operation Kumbaya. As the President lauded his Phony War with ISIS, standing next to him was the Pentagon’s very own General Joe Dunford, who looked like a dime store mannequin in a Twilight Zone episode. ISIL’s ranks are shrinking as well. Their morale is sinking. Shrinking? They have more recruits than ever. Sinking morale? Then the President got to the heart of the matter. Forget about fighting a war. What really matters is the destruction of the Second Amendment. We have to make it harder for people who want to kill Americans to get their hands on weapons of war that let them kill dozens of innocents. Actually be tough on terrorism, and stop making it easy as possible for terrorists to buy assault weapons. Reinstate the assault weapons ban. The President moved on to his favorite subject – avoiding the words Radical Islamic Terrorism. For a while now, the main contribution of some of my friends on the other side of the aisle have made in the fight against ISIL is to criticize this administration and me for not using the phrase “radical Islam.” That’s the key, they tell us — we can’t beat ISIL unless we call them “radical Islamists.” What exactly would using this label accomplish? What exactly would it change? Would it make ISIL less committed to trying to kill Americans? Would it bring in more allies? Is there a military strategy that is served by this? The answer is none of the above. Calling a threat by a different name does not make it go away. Imagine FDR during World War II refusing to say Nazis or Nazi Germany. You have to identify a problem to solve it. It’s more than obvious the President is just a little too sympathetic of Islam. This is a man who said, “One of the most beautiful sounds in the world is the Muslim call to prayer.” Obviously, the Muslim call to prayer is something that gives most Americans a real warm and fuzzy every day. He needs to stop making excuses for Islam and start doing his constitutional duty to protect the American people. The President seemed more upset with Mr. Trump than with the Muslim scumbag that murdered 49 people. We now have proposals from the presumptive Republican nominee for President of the United States to bar all Muslims from emigrating to America. Actually, it’s a temporary ban on all citizens from certain countries that sponsor terrorism; places like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, etc. We hear language that singles out immigrants and suggests that entire religious communities are complicit in violence. Where does this stop? The Orlando killer, one of the San Bernardino killers, the Fort Hood killer — they were all U.S. citizens. Yes, they were all US citizens and that is the most troubling feature of all. Irish and German and Vietnamese and Mexican and African Americans aren’t shooting up nightclubs while yelling Allah Akbar are they, Mr. President? Are we going to start treating all Muslim Americans differently? Are we going to start subjecting them to special surveillance? If we were actually taking the ISIS threat seriously, we would be conducting surveillance on mosques that have been a source for radical Islam. But, if you can’t say the word, you can’t do the surveillance. The President signed off with a diversity infomercial for our new kind, gentle, lactating and transgender military. Two weeks ago, I was at the commencement ceremony at the Air Force Academy. And it could not have been more inspiring to see these young people stepping up, dedicated to serve and protect this country. And part of what was inspiring was the incredible diversity of these cadets. We saw cadets, who are straight, applauding classmates who were openly gay. We saw cadets, born here in America, applauding classmates who are immigrants and love this country so much they decided they wanted to be part of our armed forces. We saw cadets and families of all religions applaud cadets who are proud, patriotic Muslim Americans serving their country in uniform, ready to lay their lives on the line to protect you and to protect me. We saw male cadets applauding for female classmates, who can now serve in combat positions. That’s the American military. That’s America — one team, one nation. Those are the values that ISIL is trying to destroy, and we shouldn’t help them do it. ISIS doesn’t have to destroy the US military. We are doing a fine job of exterminating the greatest force on earth all by ourselves. ISIS is laughing at us. ISIS knows they are winning and that they are going to continue to kick our butts until we get tough. If we ever get tough… Obama ended his wartime “fireside chat” with these words from the peace and granola field manual. Our diversity and our respect for one another, our drawing on the talents of everybody in this country, our making sure that we are treating everybody fairly — that we’re not judging people on the basis of what faith they are or what race they are, or what ethnicity they are, or what their sexual orientation is — that’s what makes this country great. What beautiful words. We’re so sensitive. We’re so politically correct. We’re so caring. Isn’t it special? We’re so open and diverse. We love everyone, even our enemies that want to destroy us. We wouldn’t want to insult anyone’s feelings. We’re so doomed… Is anyone in the White House or in the Democrat Party dealing with reality? Reality seems non-existent in today’s Democrat Party. Goodbye JFK, Hello Saul Alinsky. President Obama has become a virtual PC Czar whose lack of action and fortitude is putting the nation in mortal danger. ISIS is going to destroy us if we don’t get tough fast. The only chance the United States has to swerve away from this destructive course is Mr. Trump. Here are three words for you Mr. President, which will hopefully provide some guidance on how to wage war against the madmen of ISIS.

Steven Seagal: Many Mass Shootings Are “Engineered” by the Government

Posted by Self Sustained There are few issues right now more contentious than gun control. One of these issues happens to be “false flag” operations. Actor Steven Seagal has previously sounded off on both. In an interview with RT, the action star-turned second amendment fundamentalist claimed “a lot” of domestic shootings in America were “engineered” in order to drum up support for gun control legislation. In the video, Steven Seagal speaks forthrightly about his belief that there is a concerted effort by the government to violate our rights as part of an assault on the constitution: “I believe in the second amendment and our constitution more than anything in the world, and I think that Adolf Hitler – for example — when he wanted to annihilate the people of Germany — the first thing he did was to take away their guns. And the right to bear arms wasn’t just to protect the people from foreign invaders, it was to protect them from evil governments, and anyone that would violate their inherited rights as human beings.” ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA… Are you ready to turn back the clocks to the 1800’s for up to three years? Our grandfathers and great-grandfathers were the last generation to practice the basic things that we call survival skills now… WATCH THIS VIDEO and you will find many interesting things! He continues, “I believe that, and I hate to say this, a lot of these mass murders and all this funny stuff that’s going on, I believe a lot of this is engineered.” The conspiracy theory surrounding domestic false flag shootings conjures intense emotions on both sides. “Truthers” claim the government uses either CIA operatives or patsies controlled by MKULTRA style psyops in order to foment violence so abhorrent that Americans will be forced to embrace gun control legislation. They believe the end-game of such an insidious scheme is to disarm the general population in advance of extensive martial law or indefinite FEMA detention. Whether any of this theory is true or not is endlessly debatable but highly unlikely. Theorists who claim every mass shooting is a government conspiracy — without providing concrete proof — detract from the documented fact that governments do partake in conspiracies and false flag operations. However, while the mechanism by which domestic shootings could be “engineered” is still unknown, the MKULTRA program is an established historical fact. Researchers are still uncovering CIA connections from this time period, but we do know experimental subjects included Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber.

'We're Heading In A Very Dangerous Direction' - Tis The Season Of Treason In America As The Globalists Kick Their Plans To Disarm The American People Into Overdrive

June 17, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States. 18 U.S. Code 2381 - Treason. The story over at The Atlantic tells us that according to Donald Trump (and many others), "Barack Obama puts America's 'enemy over our allies', even using the word 'treason' to describe what we're now witnessing from our present 'commander-in-chief'. A new story from Front Page Mag tells us that Obama has just invited top communist military and intelligence officials to inspect US defense facilities. Why would he do such a thing as opening up vital national security secrets to 'narco-terrorists'? Has Obama already surrendered? “President Obama claims to know our enemy, and yet he continues to prioritize our enemy over our allies, and for that matter, the American people,” Trump said in a statement to the AP. “When I am President, it will always be America First.” Trump and The Atlantic story aren't the only ones throwing the 'treason' word around and even former presidential candidate and Arizona senator John McCain recently launched into Barack Obama, saying that Obama was 'directly responsible for the Orlando terror attack' because he's allowed the 'rise of ISIS' on his watch. He later backed down on that statement, sort of, saying that Obama wasn't responsible for ISIS' rise but his 'national security decisions' were. Seriously? If Obama's DECISIONS are responsible for the 'rise of ISIS', so is Obama. While we are not here to play 'judge, jury nor executioner', we have published story after story after story on ANP outlining what appears to be decisions made at the highest level of government in America that have put Americans at risk while comforting and aiding our enemies. From decisions made by Hillary Clinton's State Department that led to the loss of lives in Benghazi to both Hillary and Obama leaving the doors wide open to as many terrorists as they want to come into this country we have to ask, why haven't Obama and Hillary ALREADY been charged with treason? It's been proven that Hillary's State Department blocked the FBI investigation into the Orlando killers mosque while we now have absolute proof that the Orlando killers father visited the Hillary Clinton State Department at least 4 times! What was this mass murderer's father doing visiting Hillary's State Department? The fact that this man, who wanted to be the 'future president of Afghanistan,' also HATED America and WROTE OPEN LETTERS to Obama should not be overlooked. Is it just a coincidence that the father of a man who allegedly gunned down 50 Americans has ties to both Obama and Clinton? Taking that one step further, is it just a coincidence that this mass murder and slaughter, the killer who has now been proven to have ties to both Hillary Clinton and Obama, is now being used by the same administration in a very real attempt to take Americans guns away? We'll take a look below at some recent and very disturbing news we have just learned along the gun confiscation front. America now has a very real 'conundrum' and the answer to it will not be solved easily. According to Jeh Johnson, the head of the Department of Homeland Security, 'gun control' is now a 'homeland security' matter. One author and political activist takes that statement of Johnson's one step further. According to Andy Parker, father of the reporter allegedly gunned down on air in Virginia last year, any politicians who are NOT for very strong gun control are committing treason against America. We'll contrast that with a story recently written by Brandon Ward over at World Events and the Bible who claims that Trump, the entire GOP and the National Rifle Association should be considered treasonous for even thinking about restraining the rights of Americans to buy guns after Trump recently tweeted that Americans on the no-fly list or terrorist watch list shouldn't be able to buy guns as seen in the Tweet below. What Ward pointed out in his story that Mr. Trump didn't point out in his tweet is that there are possibly thousands and thousands of law-abiding American citizens on the terrorist watchlist and no-fly lists right now and even Maryland Congressman Steny Hoyer has stated that he has no idea whatsoever how a person's name gets on that list nor how they can get their name off the list.

When They Come for Your Guns, They Will Soon Come for You

Dave Hodges

Meet “Team Genocide”. They want your guns at any cost. They stage false flag attacks as a pretext to get your guns. America needs to ask, why do they need our guns? “Passing gun control is now part and parcel of homeland security” Jeh Johnson-Director of Homeland Security On the way to work, it is possible that Jeh Johnson was stricken with a form of globalist amnesia. He seems to have forgotten that he is in charge of an administrative arm of the United States government; he is not in charge of Congress. Johnson seems to think that it is duty to confiscate all guns from American citizens. Any civics student know that is illegal. But we forget, that we are playing in a game with no rules. The Constitution is a joke to the Obama administration. This administration governs by one precept: MIGHT MAKES RIGHT! The Secretary of Homeland Security has declared war on the Second Amendment and is attempting to bootstrap the tragic events in Orlando as an excuse to throw the Second Amendment on the scrap heap of history: Has Johnson lost his mind? History clearly tells us that when a government confiscates its citizens’ guns, they will soon be committing genocide against these same citizens. Case in point follows from the University of Hawaii which is listed below. The Lessons of History Soon Forgotten Seizing Guns As a Prelude to Democide hawaii democide Do you think that mankind is becoming more civilized due in part to the all the new technology being introduced to society? Think again, nothing could be further from the truth. The 20th century witnessed a record number of people murdered by their government and in each case, each individual genocide was preceded by gun confiscation which took away the citizens ability to protect themselves against a tyrannical government. The University of Hawaii has sponsored a project in which they have analyzed the number of people who have been murdered by their government. The term that the University of Hawaii uses to describe this action is democide (i.e. death by government). The number totals a staggering 262,000,000 people have been murdered by their government between the years to 1900-1987. This is what makes Johnson’s ideas so terribly dangerous because it could potentially render Americans defenseless against an invading army or worse yet, an out of control tyrannical government. In Jeh Johnson’s World, This Man Can Own a Gun Omar Mateen, the perpetrator of the worst mass shooting in American history. The company he worked for is owned by Wackenhut, one DHS’ favorite contractors. This is the same Wackenhut that engages in “snatch and release” programs in which OTM’s (other than Mexicans) are caught at the border and released in the interior. These released illegals include people from the Middle East. Why isn’t Jeh Johnson speaking out against this threat to homeland security? In Jeh Johnson’s World, You Cannot Own a Gun How Well Has This Latest Version of Trading Liberty for Security Worked? If you are ever dumb enough to give up your gun, or advocate that others give up their guns, the above two captions capture the kind of society history says you will inhabit.

DOJ overrules FBI on gun sales debate, says no-fly list can be used for ban

By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Thursday, June 16, 2016

Attorney General Loretta Lynch overruled FBI Director James B. Comey this week, saying the Obama administration does support denying firearms sales to those on terrorist watch lists and that it can be done without harming investigations. Mr. Comey last year had told Congress that denying sales could “blow” his agents’ investigations into potential terrorists. But his superiors at the Justice Department issued a statement Thursday saying they want to see Congress approve the “no-fly, no-buy” plan Democrats are pursuing. “The amendment gives the Justice Department an important additional tool to prevent the sale of guns to suspected terrorists by licensed firearms dealers while ensuring protection of the department’s operational and investigative sensitivities,” department spokesman Dena Iverson said in a statement. In the wake of the weekend’s terror-related shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Democrats have zeroed in on guns, arguing that Omar Mateen’s rampage could have been avoided had Congress enacted a ban on gun sales to those on the government’s watch lists, which are supposed to detail those known or suspected to have ties to terrorism. The FBI has poked holes in that theory, saying that while Mateen had been listed while under investigation a few years ago, he had been removed after the agency was unable to make a case against him. Under the current system, if someone on the list attempts to buy a firearm, the sale

Quad-Phillim? Scientists Want To Create Babies FROM DNA OF 4 PEOPLE

June 16, 2016 by SkyWatch Editor

A team of U.K. scientists is pushing to develop a process for genetically modified babies, using DNA from four parents. The Christian Institute reports that a group of scientists at Newcastle University have been experimenting with Pro-Nuclear Transfer (PNT), which involves transferring DNA from one embryo (created with DNA from two parents) to another embryo (also created with DNA from two parents), thus creating an embryo with DNA from four different individuals. Many scientists and ethicists have condemned the process because it is risky and involves the destruction of hundreds of embryos. Nevertheless, the Newcastle team hopes to continue with their research. etc.

Scientists Are Developing a Mind-Reading Machine at Yale

AmericanIntelligenceReport / June 8, 2016

Scientist’s are Developing a Mind-Reading Machine that Can Read and Translate Your Thoughts Into Text, Including Images Tiff Grandstaff | American Intelligence Report

A device that might make our internal monologues a thing of the past was just announced as being under development right here in the United States. This eavesdropping machine can actually hear the little voices inside your head and make them known to others. The potentially dangerous mind-reading device is being developed by American and German scientists at Yale, with a study led by Professor Marvin Chun and designed by Alan Cowen, a PhD student at the university. Their efforts are being combined to develop an advanced instrument that turns our secret thoughts into readable text and recognizable imagery. As stated recently in The Daily Mail, scientists on the project have the goal of reproducing audible speech using our inaudible brain functions, and they want to do it in real-time. Understanding the Mechanism Electrodes are placed directly on the head correlating with the speech and language centers of the brain. This is all done while the subject is awake and alert. Electrical responses to various stimuli are monitored and measured by scientists and then matched with computer generated signals which correspond to distinct speech patterns. While electrodes and underdeveloped technology currently limit the applications for the device, scientists are busily looking for the loopholes. Yale has even teamed up with UC Berkeley to determine how hearing, speaking, and imaging overlap in the brain, with Professor Robert Knight leading the team of researchers. He stated in a recent interview, “We want to develop an implantable device that decodes the signals that occur in the brain when we think about a word, then turn these signals into a sound file that can be reproduced by a speech device.” With the device being planned for future implantation, it is not illogical to wonder what the real agenda is. Knight was also quoted as saying, “Our ultimate goal is to create a small device that can be used in everyday life.” The device might sound like a dream come true for some, but for others the potential that the device might to get placed into the wrong hands is more than frightening, it’s downright creepy. Questioning the Motives Today’s typical brain scans already have the ability to create rudimentary pictures of what we are thinking and/or feeling, but this new machine is lightyears ahead. Recently, scientists were able to successfully translate and play back a word that their subject thought simply by monitoring their brain activity. Furthermore, the device, which remains nameless at the moment, can actually view images that are stored deep inside your memory bank. While that might sound kind of amazing to some, it still begs the question as to what the purpose of such a machine might be for Americans in the future. As the envelope of neuro-telepathy gets continually pushed, our privacy is also being incessantly challenged. Still, most innovations with the potential to invade our privacy come wrapped in a nice humanitarian cover story, and this one is no different. The Daily Mail reports that the machine is being developed to help sufferers of Lou Gehrig’s disease, Alzheimer’s, stroke, and dementia. The L.A. Times, though, is unabashedly claiming that the machine is being produced for the purposes of investigations involving facial reconstruction. The Final Verdict Whatever the case, the agreed upon goal is to communicate a person’s private thoughts via a video screen, electronic speaker, or word processor. Rest assured; this is only the beginning of the end of the Fifth Amendment, which outlines our right to remain silent. If you think this sounds like science fiction, or the plot of Minority Report, you should know that there are already devices in use that can read your facial expressions or emotions in order to prevent car accidents and road rage. Moreover, Fox News reported way back in 2008 that Homeland Security would attempt to detect terrorist activity by monitoring the intent of American citizens. In short, we might soon be incriminating ourselves without even trying, and it will be seen as acceptable under the guise of freedom, justice, safety, and medicine. Sources:

Like The Watchers In The Days Of Noah, We’ve Set Sail To Create Synthetic People And To Replace Entire Species Via ‘Gene Drives’ June 14, 2016 by SkyWatch Editor

Making synthetic people is not such a far-fetched fear. Regalado points out that Church has proposed exactly that project in his 2012 book Regenesis: How Synthetic Biology Will Reinvent Nature and Ourselves. Church wants to recode the human genome to make it impossible for viruses to enter. HIV and the common cold, gone […] But here, in one sentence, is the issue with gene drives. “The emergence of gene-drive systems — which spread engineered mutations quickly through populations — means that a single released organism could eventually alter most of its local population, and quite possibly all populations of the species throughout the world.” That from Kevin Esvelt, in a post at Nature. In a profile at TechReview, Antonio Regalado calls Esvelt “the moralist policing gene drives, a technology that messes with evolution.” Esvelt worked with the ever-present George Church on the gene-editing system known as CRISPR for genome engineering. Regalado credits Esvelt with bringing the gene drive safety issue to public attention two years ago. (READ MORE)

Scientists Are Using Corporate Funds to Rewrite the Human Genome From Scratch

Posted on June 16, 2016Big Pharma By Chris “Kikila” Perrin

When it comes to science, discovering something new is perhaps one of the fundamental motivators for research. For the most part, the impact these discoveries have are mostly centered within the scientific community, or tend to become a link in a long chain of discovery. Yet when it comes to the potential to write a human genome, from nothing, the implication is a little broader. A new project announced last week will see a team of scientists doing exactly that: working to develop a process whereby a complete human genome can be written in a lab. The Human Genome Project-write (HGP-write), nominally linked to the Human Genome Project (HGP) that saw the mapping of the human genome mapped in its entirety in 2004, is a project designed to artificially synthesize the foundational biological building blocks of the human being. A project that is entirely based on potential, the scientific and medical applicability of this experiment seems almost limitless. Thanks to information generated through the original HGP, scientists are already able to synthesize aspects of genomes, helping us to heal and increasing our understanding of human biology and how disease and other potentially harmful agents interact with us. Science and the power of discovery, however, is not the only issue here. Despite a project outline published in the journal Science earlier this year, there are several questions that HGP-write have simply not answered. Moreover, the authors of the paper have left certain moral and ethical questions out in their entirety. If this were not enough to cause concern among policy-makers and the general public, that the meetings concerning HGP-write have been conducted behind closed doors — doors paid for heavily by corporate donors, with no press permitted to attend — is causing even more worry. Working to cure disease and understand the nature of our being is, intrinsically, a noble pursuit. Few would argue this point. Things done for the greater good of humanity, however, might include a more democratic voice — particularly when there are questionable applications for the new science, or new technology. If the article in Science contained some discussion on the ethics of writing a human genome from scratch, or perhaps even some discussion on the potential ability of this technology to create designer human beings, then concerns might be lessened. Being able to write a human genome moves scientists and biologists a little closer to having the technological capacity of manufacturing a customized human being. Although this is not specifically the nature of the project as outlined in Science, the HGP-write project makes moving beyond simple genome manipulation and entering into full creation a conceivable possibility. It is here where critics are calling for a deeper, broader discussion concerning the ethics of not only the project, but the concept in general.

Combining Multiple Childhood Vaccines Not Safe Says Article in Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons

Posted on June 16, 2016 Vaccines By Natural Blaze

TUCSON, Ariz., June 14, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Multiple childhood vaccines are often given at one visit, but contrary to the claims of public health officials there is evidence that this practice is unsafe, writes medical research journalist Neil Z. Miller in the summer issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons. Miller used data in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), jointly operated by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which was established in 1990. This contains about 500,000 reports of adverse events that occurred in association with, but not necessarily caused by vaccines. Miller acknowledges that health authorities often suggest that VAERS may be unreliable, but points out that CDC considers VAERS an important vaccine safety assessment tool and regularly conducts its own studies using VAERS data. Miller writes, Although CDC recommends polio, hepatitis B, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, rotavirus, Haemophilus influenzae type B, and pneumococcal vaccines for two-, four-, and six-month-old infants, this combination of eight vaccines administered during a single physician visit was never tested for safety in clinical trials. This is at odds with a CDC report which found that mixed exposures to chemical substances and other stress factors, including prescribed pharmaceuticals, may produce ‘increased or unexpected deleterious health effects.’ Miller looked at the percentage of reported reactions that involved hospitalization or death as related to the number of vaccine doses the infant had received, and to the age of the infant. “Our study showed that infants who receive several vaccines concurrently…are significantly more likely to be hospitalized or die when compared with infants who receive fewer vaccines simultaneously,” he writes. “It also showed that reported adverse effects were more likely to lead to hospitalization or death in younger infants.” In infants receiving five or more vaccines concurrently, 5.4% of reported reactions were fatal, compared with 3.6% in those receiving four or fewer, the study shows. “Parents and physicians should consider health options associated with a lower risk of hospitalization or death,” Miller concludes.

Move Over Zika: A Superbug Hits Brazilian Beaches

Posted On June 16, 2016 By Katherine Marko

Masses of athletes and millions of spectators are heading to Brazil for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games starting on Aug. 5. As Brazil scrambles to gain control of a mosquito-borne Zika virus outbreak, now they have to contend with a new superbug lurking in Rio’s waters. Infested beaches and waterways Article: Coffee Plus Honey More Effective Than Steroids for Cough Just under two months from the opening of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, scientists have found a dangerous drug-resistant “super bacteria” in areas that will draw thousands of Olympics fans to scheduled events, reports Reuters. Two unpublished studies disclosed to the newswire suggest that hazardous microbes normally only found in hospitals and which may be antibiotic resistant are found in and near the country’s beaches. The report also claims that Rio’s sewage-infested waterways are unsafe. The bacterium is said to cause urinary, gastrointestinal, pulmonary and bloodstream infections and meningitis. Most frightening, the Centers for Disease Control says the bacterium can kill up to half of people infected.

How Will You Cope With A Lower Standard of Living?

Jun 11 Posted by sierra2one By: Tom Chatham

The forces are mounting that will eventually overwhelm most Americans and send their standard of living to unknown depths. Americans that have only known the post WWII prosperity are ill equipped and educated to deal with depression level living. Easy credit and instant gratification have created a nation of whining, self absorbed, entitlement minded people with no moral or mental toughness. Doug Casey believes we are headed for what he calls a super depression created by the ending of a debt super cycle. The bigger the debt cycle the bigger the depression that follows. That’s how reality works and most people are not prepared for reality. When this depression, which has already started, gets momentum, it will overwhelm the plans of a society that is expecting to get things like social security, pensions and payouts from retirement plans they have paid into for many years. All of those things will disappear almost overnight and leave society gasping and stupefied over what to do. Their reactions will be to yell and scream and try to identify who to blame but the only person they should blame is the one in the mirror. Many very smart people have raised the alarm and done their best to warn the sleeping public, but those slumbering masses have ignored the warnings and hit the snooze button one more time. The masses do not understand economics, do not want to understand economics and they will pay dearly for that ignorance in the coming days. When the real unemployment rate becomes common knowledge as it increases substantially, people will be left to survive on what resources they have saved up outside the banking system that cannot be stolen by the politicians and bankers. That is a key point here. The assets you have outside the system that cannot be stolen from you with a few key strokes on some computer. Those hoping for some miraculous event that will send the U.S. back to the days of manufacturing might and jobs for all will never see it happen. Those days are gone. The west line theory tells us our economy will slow down and become more modest as the shipping center of the world moves west to the next powerhouse region which is Asia. This is what history teaches us. When people suddenly wake up one morning and they have no job, their retirement is gone and they need to care for their family, what will they do? When government services have collapsed and they suddenly realize they are now living in a third world country with few government services, what will they do? When the banks are closed and only a select few connected people have any type of money or access to goods, what will they do? This is the reality that many people will face in the future and they have no idea how bad it can get. They refuse to contemplate the harsh reality they will be living in and take steps to mitigate the effects. To do so would be to acknowledge it could happen and they are taking personal responsibility. Personal responsibility is a dirty phrase in today’s entitlement society. To see some of the effects one only has to look at the collapse of society in Venezuela today to see what awaits. When it happens it will all fall back to you to take responsibility for your family and take care of them for the duration. To do that you need to plan now for that eventuality and build up the resources you will need to provide food, shelter, clothing and security when the system fails to do it for you. You need to be Noah on his ark not the people watching as he floated away. Having resources stored up is a must but it may not get you all the way through if the situation lasts for many years. That is why you need some type of plan to replace those resources as time goes by and have some way to generate some type of income or at least items to trade. Usable goods are for the short term and things like gold ,silver and production equipment are for the long term to help you get through the crisis with the least amount of pain. Even with proper planning the days ahead will not be easy as the standard of living of society will fall substantially to levels only seen in failed third world countries or old pictures. The assets actually owned by people today is very small compared to how they live. They will default on their home loan, their car loan, and their credit card debt leaving them with very few real possessions and few ways to move what they have left even if they have some place to go. Ultimately these people will become the new serfs to the wealthy class that will take possession of anything of value. Feudalism will once again rule. The lack of planning by society will make this a reality if it is allowed. What will you do when everything you have worked a lifetime for is suddenly taken away? Do you have a plan to keep what you have? Do you have a plan to make money when you cannot find a job? Do you have a way to take care of your family until things stabilize? Do you have a home you will not lose if the whole system breaks down? What will you do if electricity or fuel is too expensive to buy or not available to the general population? These are the questions you should be asking yourself now and you better have a good answer because your family will be asking them when the greater depression sets in.

U.S. and Russian Jets Clash Over Syria

06.19.16 9:20 PM ET

American and Russian fighter jets had a tense showdown in the skies above Syria as the Russians dropped bombs on U.S.-backed rebels. U.S. and Russian fighter jets bloodlessly tangled in the air over Syria on June 16 as the American pilots tried and failed to stop the Russians from bombing U.S.-backed rebels in southern Syria near the border with Jordan. The aerial close encounter underscores just how chaotic Syria’s skies have become as Russia and the U.S.-led coalition work at cross-purposes, each dropping bombs in support of separate factions in the five-year-old civil war. The near-clash also highlights the escalating risk of American and Russian forces actually coming to blows over Syria, potentially sparking a much wider conflict between the world’s leading nuclear powers. The incident began when at least two twin-engine Su-34 bombers, some of Moscow’s most advanced warplanes, struck what the Pentagon described as a “border garrison” housing around 200 U.S.-supported rebels in At Tanf on the Syrian side of the Syria-Jordan border. The rebels had been “conducting counter-ISIL operations in the area,” the Pentagon stated on June 18, using an alternative acronym for ISIS. The United States and its allies in Syria clearly did not expect the air strike. The rebels in At Tanf are party to a shaky ceasefire agreement between rebel forces and the regime of Syrian president Bashar Al Assad—and, by extension, the Russian military contingent backing Al Assad. The Los Angeles Times reported that Russian planes had not previously been active over At Tanf. The Su-34s’ initial strike wounded, and perhaps killed, some of the rebels in At Tanf. The U.S. Navy scrambled F/A-18 fighters to intercept the Russians, the Los Angeles Times reported. The Navy has deployed two aircraft carriers to the region for strikes on ISIS. As the F/A-18s approached the Su-34s, officials with U.S. Central Command—which oversees America’s wars in the Middle East and Afghanistan—used a special hotline to contact their Russian counterparts directing Russia’s own intervention in Syria. Arriving over At Tanf, the American pilots apparently spoke directly to the Russian aviators. “Pilots CAN communicate with one another on a communications channel set up to avoid air accidents,” Central Command confirmed in a statement to The Daily Beast. Washington and Moscow had established the hotline as part of a so-called Safety of Flight Memorandum of Understanding that the two governments signed in October specifically in order to avoid the kind of aerial confrontation that occurred over Syria last week. With the American jets flying close enough to visually identify the Su-34s, the Russians departed the air space over At Tanf. Some time shortly thereafter, the F/A-18s ran low on fuel and left the area in order to link up with an aerial tanker. That’s when the Su-34s reportedly returned to At Tanf—and bombed the rebels again. According to the Los Angeles Times, the second strike killed first-responders assisting survivors of the first bombing run. The next day, senior U.S. Defense Department officials organized an “extraordinary” video conference with Russian counterparts to discuss the incident. The meeting included Acting Assistant Secretary for International Security Affairs Elissa Slotkin and U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, a strategic planner on the Pentagon’s joint staff, plus unspecified Russian Ministry of Defense officials. “Department officials expressed strong concerns about the attack on the coalition-supported counter-ISIL forces at the At Tanf garrison, which included forces that are participants in the cessation of hostilities in Syria, and emphasized that those concerns would be addressed through ongoing diplomatic discussions on the cessation of hostilities,” Defense Department spokesman Peter Cook explained in a statement. "Regarding safety, department officials conveyed that Russia’s continued strikes at At Tanf, even after U.S. attempts to inform Russian forces through proper channels of on-going coalition air support to the counter-ISIL forces, created safety concerns for U.S. and coalition forces,” Cook continued. “Department officials requested Russian responses to address those concerns.” Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov confirmed, via the country’s state-owned media, that the teleconference took place—but he did not specify the results of the “extraordinary” meeting. Russian warplanes had previously shadowed planes belonging to the U.S.-led coalition over Syria, but the coalition always described the Russians’ behavior as “professional.” By contrast, in April Russian Su-24 bombers repeatedly buzzed the U.S. Navy warship USS Donald Cook while the vessel sailed in international waters in the Black Sea. A Pentagon spokesman called the Russians’ actions in that incident “provocative and unprofessional.” The Kremlin should be keenly aware of the potential for unwanted—and potentially destabilizing—bloodshed that exists in the air over Syria. In November, a Russian Su-24 bomber flying a mission over Syria strayed over the Syria-Turkey border into Turkey—and a Turkish F-16 fighter promptly shot it down. The two Russian crew members ejected. One flier died when Syrian rebels on the ground opened fire on his parachute. Russian, Syrian, and Iranian forces launched a complex rescue mission that ultimately retrieved the surviving pilot. One Russian marine died and a helicopter was destroyed during that operation. The fallout from the November incident continues, with Russia and Turkey exchanging threats—and Moscow imposing economic sanctions on Ankarra including limits on some food imports to Russia from Turkey. It’s not clear how close the U.S. fighters came to attacking and potentially shooting down the Su-34s over At Tanf. Central Command declined to say what the rules of engagement are for American pilots flying over Syria. “ROE are actually specifics that we don’t get into,” Central Command said in a statement. The last time a U.S. military warplane shot down a Russian—actually, Soviet—plane was in 1953, over Korea or China, depending on which historians you believe. The last time a Russian or Soviet warplane shot down an American aircraft was in 1970, when a U.S. Army plane strayed over Armenia.

We Will Never Make Evil Stop. Only God Can Do That.

Jun. 16, 2016 2:52pm Matt Walsh

The cover of the Boston Glob (note: I originally meant to type “Globe” but then realized that my typo is oddly appropriate, so I’m leaving it) today features a big, scary gun and the words “Make It Stop.” The paper calls for a ban on “assault weapons” in order to “stop gun violence.” The left is hailing this as “courageous,” as if it takes courage to engage in meaningless and popular platitudes. The Glob’s stand is not brave and it’s not unprecedented. It is merely echoing the sentiments of many people in our culture. We need to stop bad things, they say, and the way to do this is to pass another set of laws. It’s explained that we will place these laws on top of the 1,000 layers of pre-existing laws, and finally this last layer will be the thing that “makes it stop.” Of course, this country’s original law – the Constitution – is contradicted and ultimately erased by many of the laws on top of it. This is by design. The left views the law as the problem, and in order to rectify it they pass additional laws. But, you’ll notice, they never attempt to officially amend or abolish the original laws. They just create laws to compete with the ones they don’t like, and then leave it up to the judges to side with whichever law they personally prefer. This is how the left plans to “make it stop.” I’d like to go beyond the particulars of the gun control debate and deal with this idea that laws – or any other human effort – can make evil stop. It’s a silly and immature notion, but it’s also quite common, and I believe it does come from a sincere place in the human soul. Indeed, we all want to “make it stop.” We all recognize that evil should not be happening, and we simply cannot bear, and refuse to accept, that it will continue right along no matter what we do. Although we all see that the world can be an ugly and brutal place, we still have this odd and fanciful notion that the ugliness is an aberration and the brutality doesn’t belong. Even though there seems to be far less goodness than there is badness, it seems we instinctively recognize the badness as a mutation, and the goodness as the way things ought to be. Anyone looking at things purely scientifically and objectively could not possibly reach these conclusions. Based on all available evidence, we should not even attempt to “make it stop” because “it” appears to be the primary function of the universe. A look at current events or a study of any point in human history reveals that bad men are always doing bad things. And they do them so often and so consistently that it doesn’t even make sense to call it bad. It seems we should call it natural. Trying to take all of the violence and hatred out of the world is like trying to take all of the water out of the ocean. Not only is it impossible, but even if you succeeded, it wouldn’t be the ocean anymore. That’s how it would seem, anyway, if you’re approaching this from a secular and materialistic perspective. But hardly anyone will admit that world is naturally and fundamentally and intrinsically bad. It’s interesting that even secularists and materialists do not approach this question from a secular and materialistic point of view. Everyone still sees evil as a usurper, an unwelcome guest; something that can, and ought to be, destroyed. And we’re right. Evil is a parasite that has attached itself to the world. The world was not built to house evil. People were not created for the purpose of doing evil. The world was assembled for goodness and beauty, and so were we. We have had to contort and pervert ourselves to accommodate badness. That’s why there is no harmony with evil. Evils cannot even reach compromises and agreements among themselves. They’re constantly warring with each other and fighting over the same stolen land. Evil was never meant to be here. The world was never meant to be used like this. We were never meant to do the awful things we do. The world was never meant to be the awful place it is. The world is like a great structure designed to be a cathedral but converted almost immediately into a whore house. The trouble is that once you allow the evil into the world – once you open the door to it and say, “Please, come in” – you cannot so easily expel it. Once you have the cancer, you cannot suddenly demand that it leaves. You need a doctor for that, and even when you go to the doctor, you have to accept that the process of destroying the disease will be long, painful, and costly. The question becomes: Who is the doctor? Many people in our culture think the government can play that role. Or sometimes they think actual doctors can be the doctors. They turn every act of evil into a medical or psychological condition and expect the “medical community” to come up with the solution. But doctors and politicians do not have the cure. They are just as sick as you, maybe even sicker. We have to keep looking. The fact that we are looking at all should, in itself, tell us that there is, somewhere, something to find. As C.S. Lewis wrote, if we have a desire for something, it means there must be an object. There must be a way to satiate it. We cannot desire things that do not exist. So hunger is evidence that food exists. Thirst is evidence that water exists. And, I would say, our desire for a great doctor, a force that can come and solve evil, is evidence that such a force exists. His name is God. We are made by God and for Him. We were made to love, to hope, to give. We were not made to hate, to envy, to lie, to destroy. These are unnatural acts. The more we do them, and the more everyone else does them, the less the world can function. It’s like trying to fuel your Jeep with urine. It was not made to run on human secretions just as the world was not made to run on sin. And it can’t. It just stands stands still and rusts gradually away. We were made to live in a beautiful and loving world, and then finally to be reunited with Him in an even more beautiful and loving one. But there is no love without freedom. There is no love that is not chosen. Love cannot be compelled, not even by God. God did not stage some giant puppet show for Himself. He did not build robots or computer systems. He built powerful and sentient creatures and gave us the ability to choose right or wrong, virtue or sin, good or evil. He made us to go in a particular direction, but because he wanted us to love, he also gave us the ability to go another way. Humanity very often chooses the latter. And that’s where all the trouble arises. The good news is that God did not just build the world and then retire to his room to take a nap for several thousand years. He is still here, trying to help us get back on the path He paved for us. If He were the sort of God who gives up and says, “To hell with you ungrateful brats,” He would have walked away after the whole debacle with Adam and Eve. And who could have blamed Him? But God so desperately wants us to come home to Him that He went to Earth Himself and willingly paid the price for our sins. And He remains with us now, trying every moment to guide us in. Remember, the father in the Prodigal Son parable did not stand at his door and wave to his son as the young man walked up the pathway. He ran down to him. He met him on the road. He embraced him, and forgave him, and said, “Let’s go inside and celebrate.” That’s where we belong. At home with Him. We were made for joy. We were not made to live amid these horrors. Even less were we made to contribute to the horrors ourselves. So the solution – the solution that we all desire, whether we recognize it or not – is to drag our sick bodies back to God and give ourselves over to His healing and His mercy. Want to make it stop? You can’t. Neither can the government. Neither can anyone here on Earth. Only God has the cure, but we must accept it, and we must follow the prescriptions he gives us, even if they’re painful and difficult. We have to focus first on stopping the evil within ourselves. I cannot hope to help treat the epidemic if the disease is already inside me and wreaking havoc on my body. I have to go to the doctor, go to God, and ask Him to put me on the road to recovery. And then, finally, at a time unknown to everyone, the Lord will come and make all the evil stop. He will cure the whole outbreak all at once. He will snuff it out at the source. The final battle will be waged, and evil will die its final death. Until that moment, there will be evil. After it, there will be none. It will all be over. Everything will be restored to its original design. The whores will be driven out of the cathedral, and only beauty and holiness will remain. There will be no more time for choosing between good and evil at that point. We are the whores in the cathedral – if that wasn’t clear from my analogy – and when God shows up at the entrance and starts clearing out the riffraff, it will be no use to say then, “Oh, actually I changed my mind.” Our choice will already be made, and we will have to live or die with it. He will make it stop all right. We better just make sure we are not among the ones He stops. So, in the mean time, if we want at least to fight the evil – not to “stop” it entirely, but to struggle against it – and if we want to protect ourselves and our families from it, then we should follow Him. We should pray relentlessly. We should go to church. We should read the Scripture. We should follow the prescriptions the doctor gives us. We should live healthy spiritual lives, so that we can be sure that we are more a part of the solution than the problem. We should be people of faith, courage, and hope. We should stick close to God. And, on a practical level, it probably wouldn’t hurt to buy a gun.

Watchman Warning: Soft Target

By Hal Lindsey

Security analysts see all gatherings of people as potential terrorist targets. Generally, they divide them into two categories — “hard targets” and “soft targets.” Hard targets are well guarded and soft targets have little or no defense. In light of the Orlando terror attack, we might expect government officials to look for ways to turn more soft targets into hard ones. But just the opposite is happening. Almost immediately following the attack, the politics of gun control began to drive much of the discussion. Gun control advocates want to diminish our ability to defend ourselves. They want to turn us — along with our places of work, of worship, and our homes — into soft targets. Under present law, a terrorist would be crazy to use guns in an assault on a conservative, evangelical church in Texas. That’s because a significant number of conservative evangelicals have chosen to take advantage of that state’s right to carry laws. Even in a small Texas church, there’s a good chance someone will be packing heat. It would be almost impossible for one terrorist to shoot over a hundred people, killing almost half — if some of those people were shooting back. Someone might argue that Jesus was against violence, but a closer look at scripture tells a more nuanced story. In Luke 9, Jesus sent some of His disciples on a short missionary journey. He “sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to perform healing. And He said to them, ‘Take nothing for your journey, neither a staff, nor a bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not even have two tunics apiece.’” (Luke 9:2-3 NASB) He did this to show them, and all who would follow, that God is our Source — not money or reserves of food. He provides for our needs. The instructions Jesus gave illustrated that even when He would no longer be physically present, His followers would never be “on their own.” God always watches over us. In Luke 22, not long before His crucifixion, Jesus reminded His disciples of that experience. He wanted them to draw on that memory so that they would always see God as their Provider. But as they were about to set out on missionary journeys that would transform the world, He told them to take some things with them, including money. That fits with what they had seen Him do. During the three years of Jesus’ ministry, the group had a treasurer and a moneybag. That would be the normal way of doing things. “He said to them, ‘When I sent you out without purse and bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?’ And they said, ‘No, nothing.’ And He said to them, ‘But now, let him who has a purse take it along, likewise also a bag, and let him who has no sword sell his robe and buy one.’” (Luke 22:35-36 NASB Jesus did not advocate violence, but He told them to take a sword on their journeys. He said if they didn’t have a sword, they should sell something as essential as a robe in order to buy one. Self-defense is implicit in this instruction. There are no limits on God’s ability. He can just do things for us. After Philip baptized the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8, it says, “the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch saw him no more, but went on his way rejoicing. But Philip found himself at Azotus.” (Acts 8:39-40 NASB) That was a transportation miracle. But in every other case we know of, the disciples of Jesus went place to place in a very natural, human way. They walked. God has the ability to snatch us up and take us where He wants, but His usual method is to let us do the things we can. God uses even our most basic abilities, like walking. He wants us to participate where we can —including in our own protection. A new editorial in Rolling Stone magazine argues that we should not be allowed that right. On June 13th, they ran an editorial calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment. Apparently the United Nations agrees. U.N. human rights commissioner Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein asked, “How many more mass killings of school-children, of co-workers, of African-American churchgoers, how many more individual shootings of talented musicians like Christina Grimmie, or politicians like Gabrielle Giffords, will it take before the United States adopts robust gun regulation?” But here’s the problem. If we must depend only on police and other government agencies to defend us, then almost everything and everyone will be a soft target. NFL football games won’t be, but your kid’s soccer game will. Hollywood studios will remain hard targets, but the local multiplex will be a soft target — as will your local grocery store, school, church, and park. But if people who pass a certain level of screening and testing are allowed the means to defend themselves, they will also defend the people around them — hardening targets everywhere. In all of this, we have to remember that God remains the ultimate defense. We may water the garden, but only God can make vegetables grow. It’s the same with defense. Psalms 33 says, “The king is not saved by a mighty army; A warrior is not delivered by great strength. A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength. Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope for His lovingkindness, To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.” (Psalms 33:16-20 NASB) While those words give me comfort as an individual, they give me grave concern for my country. The United States of America has the strongest, most powerful military in the history of the world by far. But that alone is not enough. If we as a nation do not turn to God for deliverance, the United States itself will soon become a “soft target.”

DR Congo warlord Bemba jailed over war crimes

2 hours ago

Congolese ex-rebel leader Jean-Pierre Bemba has been jailed for 18 years following a landmark conviction at the International Criminal Court (ICC) for war crimes and sexual violence. Bemba, a former vice-president of DR Congo, was convicted in March of crimes committed in the neighbouring Central African Republic (CAR) in 2002-2003. He was accused of failing to stop his rebels from killing and raping people. Bemba's lawyers have already said they will appeal against his conviction. Judges announced sentences of between 16 and 18 years for five counts of rape, murder and pillaging, with the jail terms running concurrently. The eight years Bemba has already spent in custody will be deducted from his term. Africa Live: BBC news updates from across the continent His conviction was the first time the ICC had focused on rape as a weapon of war, and the first time a suspect had been convicted for crimes committed by others under his command. Passing sentence at the ICC in The Hague, Judge Sylvia Steiner said Bemba had failed to exercise control over his private militia sent into CAR, where they carried out "sadistic" rapes, murders and pillaging of "particular cruelty". The BBC's Anna Holligan, who is in The Hague, says two key issues remain - where Bemba will serve his sentence and the amount of compensation to be awarded to his victims. A well-connected businessman and the son of prominent Congolese businessman Bemba Saolona

Bemba was "extremely disappointed" with the sentence, his lawyer, Kate Gibson, told AFP news agency. "Today's sentence is by no means the end of the road for Mr Bemba, it merely signals that we are now moving to the next phase of the process which is the appeal," she said. In 2002 Bemba had sent more than 1,000 fighters to the CAR to help then president Ange Felix Patasse put down an attempted coup. The court heard that his troops committed acts of extreme violence against civilians - crimes which the judge said Bemba was made aware of but did nothing to stop. He had led the MLC (Movement for the Liberation of Congo) rebel group during DR Congo's brutal civil war and after a 2003 peace deal he laid down his arms and joined an interim government. Human Rights Watch (HRW) said the sentence offered "a measure of justice" for the victims. "Other commanders should take notice that they, too, can be held accountable for rapes and other serious abuses committed by troops under their control," said Geraldine Mattioli-Zeltner, HRW's international justice advocacy director. The MLC is now a major opposition party in DR Congo and Secretary General Eve Bazaiba criticised the ICC ruling and sentence. "We will never cease denouncing the selective justice of the ICC," she told supporters in the capital Kinshasa.

FBI Changes 'Allah' to 'God' in Orlando Shooter Transcript

By Tyler O'Neil June 20, 2016

When Omar Mateen called 911 during his shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, the man pledged allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS) and repeated the common Islamic phrase "Allah the merciful," but those phrases did not appear in the transcript of the call published by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Monday morning. On Sunday, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, the head of the Justice Department, explicitly said the FBI, which is under her jurisdiction, would doctor the text of the transcripts to remove the Islamic State. But more telling is what she did not say -- not only were the mentions of ISIS taken out, but the word "Allah" was altered to read "God" instead.

DOJ to Release Orlando Shooters's 911 Call But Redact ISIS Pledge, Religious References

Here is a sample of the transcription:

Orlando Police Dispatcher (OD)

Shooter (OM)

OD: Emergency 911, this is being recorded.

OM: In the name of God the Merciful, the beneficial [in Arabic]

OD: What?

OM: Praise be to God, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of God [in Arabic]. I let you know, I'm in Orlando and I did the shootings.

OD: What's your name?

OM: My name is I pledge allegiance to [omitted].

OD: OK, What's your name?

OM: I pledge allegiance to [omitted] may God protect him [in Arabic], on behalf of [omitted]. This is quite a revealing alteration. When Chuck Todd asked Lynch what was going to be left out, she responded, "What we're not going to do is further proclaim this man's pledges of allegiance to terrorist groups and further his propaganda." She later said this doctoring was done to "avoid revictimizing those who went through this horror." How does she explain the alteration of the name "Allah"? Would it be "revictimizing" survivors to mention the Islamic name of God? Would it be cow-towing to Mateen's "propaganda"? Or maybe it would suggest the bare obvious fact that Omar Mateen did the evils that he did in the name of Islam and the Muslim deity, whose name is Allah. You could argue that the FBI was merely translating the Arabic word for "God" into the English word for "God," but that would be like translating the Christian "God" into "Krishna" or the Hebrew "G-d" into "Jupiter." It is not a pure translation, because the different names have different meanings, even in the same language. Why Speaking the Truth About Islamic Terrorism Matters No, they translated "Allah" into "God" in order to silence the unavoidable truth -- that the horrid murders in Orlando were part of radical Islamic terror, not just some lone wolf totally unconnected to that specific religion. Ironically, this strategy is like to reinforce the impact of ISIS, not downplay the organization. President Obama's now-explicitly-stated policy is refusing to use the words "radical Islamic terror" as if it were the ideology-that-must-not-be-named.

Gaza offshore island project gaining steam, says intelligence minister

In exclusive meeting on Monday, Israel Katz discusses the details of the project that his ministry estimates will cost $5 billion. A proposal to provide the Gaza Strip with an outlet to the rest of the world through a man-made island could soon become a reality, Intelligence and Transportation Minister Israel Katz said Monday. Although the idea of building this artificial island has been floating around for years, real headway has only been made in the recent months, according to Katz, who estimates the project will cost some $5 billion. The project would include a 5 km. bridge from the Gaza Strip through Israeli waters and into the planned 8 sq. km. chunk of land, which likely would have a marine port and, eventually, an airport, in addition to a hotel and small port for yachts. Hamas has said that among its conditions for a long-term truce with Israel are the reopening of the Strip’s Yasser Arafat Airport and construction of a new seaport. Such an option on existing Gaza land, Katz said, would put Israel’s security at risk and allow Hamas to misuse funds allocated for its construction. The alternative, if the island is not built, Katz said, is for Israel to keep increasing – and paying for – the amount of water, electricity, food and other goods supplied to Gaza. According to Katz, the process is still being deliberated by officials who are mainly trying to decide how exactly Israel would be involved in maintaining security at a port that would be internationally funded and secured. The minister said the project would not be built or funded by Israel in any way. Rather, he said, the initiative is more of a statement of support were this plan come to fruition and Israel would allow international entities to enter Israeli waters in order to carry out construction. Katz acknowledged that the island would not necessarily put an end to weapon smuggling and rocket firings at Israel, but would help the populace to become less radical as it receives a better standard of living and the possibility of traveling and commerce with the rest of the world without Israeli involvement. The project, which Katz said has the support of a number of high-profile global figures including Tony Blair, is one of a number of regional-cooperation projects, using the oft-stated slogan of “doing what we can wherever it’s possible” and finding areas in which regional “frenemies” can find issues on which to cooperate. In May, Katz announced an initiative that would transfer Turkish goods to Jordan and onward to the rest of the region through Israel via a train route from the Port of Haifa to Beit She’an, which is a 15-minute drive from the Sheikh Hussein Border Crossing into Jordan.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas Retiring?

06-20-2016 CBN News

Court watchers say U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is considering retirement folllowing the presidential election in November, according to the Washington Examiner. Thomas is a consistent conservative vote on the high court. President George H.W. Bush appointed him, and he endured a tough Senate confirmation before being approved. Court watchers say the justice has been contemplating retirement for some time and never considered staying until he died. He enjoys vacationing in the summer with his wife in his RV, according to the report. Meanwhile, Thomas' wife, Ginni, wrote on Facebook that the reports saying her husband may retire are false. "IT. IS. BOGUS!" she exclaimed in all caps. "For all those who are contacting me about the possibility of my husband retiring, I say -- unsubscribe from those false news sources and carry on with your busy lives," she wrote. If Thomas does retire, that could dramatically affect the leaning of the Supreme Court. The next president is believed to immediately appoint someone to fill the vacancy left by conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, who passed away in February. A court that is currently divided would become 5-4. If Thomas retires, the one-vote edge would possibly continue for conservatives if Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump becomes president. If Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton takes the Oval Office, then she would have the opportunity to replace two Republican seats, which would afford liberal justices a 6-3 majority. The Washington Examiner reports that conservatives are concerned that the liberal majority even could become 7-2 if Republican Justice Anthony Kennedy steps down. Kennedy, who is a swing vote, will turn 80 next year. The Washington Examiner also reported that if Clinton becomes president, the majority liberal court that she would help appoint could keep their positions until at least 2050. However, liberal justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer are also reaching the average age when a justice retires.

Eric Metaxas: America Is Committing 'Suicide' by Turning Away From It's Divine Calling

By Samuel Smith , CP Reporter June 20, 2016|2:27 pm

Eric Metaxas speaking at the In Defense of Christians Inaugural Summit, Washington, D.C, Sept. 11, 2014. New York Times best-selling author and radio host Eric Metaxas is warning that the United States is in danger of becoming "America in name only" if Americans don't stand up to protect the liberties and values of self governance that made the nation a blessing to the entire world. In a new book released last week titled If You Can Keep It: The Forgotten Promise of American Liberty, the 53-year-old Metaxas explains that the American republic was created by the nation's Founding Fathers to be shared with the entire world. But, Metaxas stresses that Americans today have become too complacent with their freedoms and are too willing to give up their ability to govern themselves. He argues that complacency displayed today towards the rights and responsibilities of Americans to hold their governments accountable will cause America, as the world knows it, to perish. "We have to live our lives in this nation in such a way that we are an example to the whole world and they want to have what we have," Metaxas told The Christian Post in an interview last Friday. "Christian faith is at the heart of that idea, it wasn't just a secular idea about a government, it was about a community that had never been tried before where people would live in harmony." "These were ideas that were very new at the time and we forget what a wild and unprecedented idea that self government was when we began this country in 1776," Metaxas said. "We have lost a proper reverence for it. It is a crazy, wild idea that was almost destined to fail unless everything went right. We shouldn't take it for granted." As the secularization of the American society over the last 40-plus years has resulted in crackdowns on religious freedom and limits on faith in the public square, Metaxas asserts that the Founding Fathers understood that faith and virtue are what enable freedom and self governance to flourish. Metaxas relies on the concept known as the Golden Triangle, which he borrowed from British author and social critic Os Guinness, to prove his point. The Golden Triangle is the idea that freedom requires virtue, virtue requires faith and faith requires freedom. "All of the founders, including the ones we think of as somewhat secular — Franklin and Jefferson — knew that a robust expression of Christian faith was at the very heart of the success of the American experiment," Metaxas told CP. "There was no doubt in the minds of any of them that virtue and faith were utterly crucial to the success of this experiment in self government and true liberty for all. The extent that we have forgotten that and utterly pushed that away, we have destroyed the very thing that will allow us to continue to be who we have been and to be better than who we have been. That's a vital part of what we have to relearn." Metaxas writes that the title of the book is a reference to words spoken by Benjamin Franklin when he was asked while leaving the Constitutional Convention whether or not America was to be a monarchy or republic. Franklin's response was, "A republic, if you can keep it." etc. and the news story continues.

If You Value Life, Wake Up!

By Paul Craig Roberts PaulCraigRoberts.org June 21, 2016

Do you remember how close we came to Armageddon in the early 1960s when Washington put nuclear missiles in Turkey on the Soviet Union’s border and the Soviets responded by putting nuclear missiles in Cuba? Fortunately, at that time, we had an intelligent president instead of a cipher. President John F. Kennedy pulled us back from the brink and was assassinated by his own government for his service to humanity. For a number of years, I have been warning that the recklessness of a half century ago has reappeared in spades. The crazed, insane, Nazified, neoconized government in Washington and Washington’s despicable European vassal states, especially the UK, Germany, and France, are driving the world to extinction in a nuclear war. See, for example here. This is the most obvious fact of our time. Yet only the Russian government addresses Washington’s threat to life on earth. Why is this? Why was there no debate—or even mention—in the presidential nomination primaries of the road to nuclear war on which Washington has the world? Washington is putting its nuclear missiles on Russia’s borders, conducting war games on Russia’s borders, and stationing its Navy off Russia’s coasts in the Black and Baltic seas. To cover up its reckless, irresponsible aggression toward a nuclear power, Washington accuses Russia of aggression. Why was there no debate—or even mention—in the presidential nomination primaries of the road to nuclear war on which Washington has the world Washington is putting its nuclear missiles on Russia’s borders, conducting war games on Russia’s borders, and stationing its Navy off Russia’s coasts in the Black and Baltic seas. To cover up its reckless, irresponsible aggression toward a nuclear power, Washington accuses Russia of aggression. The presstitute media—the New York Times, the Washington Post, Fox “News,” CNN, and the rest of the despicable whores repeat the lie over and over until the Western populations are brainwashed. Do you suppose the Russians, who know what is happening, are going to just sit there until they are so completely surrounded by nuclear missiles that they have to surrender? Unless you believe this, you had best get busy saving your life and the life of our planet. Do not expect political leaders to do this for you. There are no political leaders in public office anywhere in the West, only paid puppets of powerful interests groups. Do not expect experts, most of whom are dependent on these same interest groups, to bring influence to bear on government and media. There is no one but us.

The GOP “Dump Trump” Movement Is Gaining Momentum

Dave Hodges

Paul Ryan is doing his best to help Hillary Clinton defeat Donald Trump. In fact, with encouragement from Ryan, it is becoming a distinct possibility that Trump may not be the nominee when the GOP convention concludes next month. There is no way that the establishment and their minions can afford to have a Trump Presidency. This means that in order to dump Trump, the globalists must create a world where up is down and down is up, white is black and black is white. Paul Ryan, much to the detriment of the American people, is where is he is at today because he was willing to ignore the following as if they did not exist: The free trade agreements which have caused the loss of millions of American jobs so that manufacturers could send millions of jobs offshore to cheap foreign labor markets and then turn around and ship these products back into the United States tax free. Trump has pledged to stop this. Ignore the illegal alien crisis which continues to undercut the wages of the working class, thus leading to much lower salaries and higher unemployment for American workers. Support Obamacare and its provision which forces employers to purchase Obamacare medical insurance for its full time employees. This has greatly added to the demise of small businesses. The undermining of American national security through the admission of UNSCREENED Muslims to America. Supporting former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton led State Department policy which protects certain Mosques and Muslims with extreme terrorist ties such as what we saw with Omar Mateen. Ryan is complicit in allowing the same chaos that is destroying Europe with UNSCREENED Muslim immigration, to come to America and destroy this country. His failure to oppose should be construed as tacit support. This attitude has given rise to the attitude that it is acceptable for these Refugee/Resettlement immigrants to support Sharia Law over our Constitutional law. Trump is on the record as opposing each and everyone of the above policies which are destroying America. Most Americans support Trump in this endeavor of putting America first and Making America Great Again! However, most of Congress is on the take and avail themselves to what should be illegal bribery through corporate campaign contributions. In order to keep the gravy train rolling, politicians, like Paul Ryan, are willing forsake their Constitutional oath and oppose Trump’s pro-Constitutional stand on these issues. In fact, Ryan is of such low moral character that he is even willing to destroy the GOP in order to preserve the criminal status quo, while he receives blood money from the corporations. At the end of the day Paul Ryan is partnered with Obama in depriving Americans of their Constitutional liberties and standard of living. In fact, it can now be accurately said that the Speaker of the House supports Democrat and sociopath, Hillary Clinton, in her bid for President over the will of the rank and file of the GOP. Paul Ryan is every bit of a traitor to the American people as are Obama and Clinton. The GOP Is Planning to Dump Trump at the Convention Despite the Will of the People romney ryan 2016 Their is yet another reason that Ryan would forsake the will of the people and work towards the defeat of the people’s choice, Donald Trump. Simply put, Paul Ryan wants to either run for President against Clinton, or at least be on the ticket. This is an irrefutable fact as we consider the following evidence which stands in support of this notion. From the Federal Election Commission website: FEC FORM 1

Title: Form 1 for

I do not see the impotent Romney running for President again. However, I do see Paul Ryan being drafted at the GOP convention as he has filed the same paperwork in order to run as Vice-President. Now that Ryan is registered, he, too, can run for President. This has always been the globalists Plan B. The forces have aligned and in a nonviolent confiscation of the nomination process, the Republicans will ignore the will of the people. The GOP Dump Trump Movement From The Economic Collapse: …Over the past couple of days, the Washington Post, CNN and a whole host of other mainstream news outlets have been reporting on a new “last-ditch effort” that has been launched by Republican operatives to get the Republican convention Rules Committee to unbind all of the delegates and allow them to vote however they want. As you will see below, they can do this, and if they get enough votes they will do it. This current effort is different from what we have seen so far during this campaign season, because it is actually being organized by the delegates themselves. The following comes from the Washington Post… …This movement is being spearheaded by a delegate from Colorado named Kendal Unruh. She is actually a key member of the Republican convention Rules Committee… As Fox News explained, there are basically two courses of action… To prevail, Unruh needs a majority of the 112 members of the convention rules committee, which has two delegates from each state and territory. Then, a majority of the full convention’s 2,472 delegates would have to approve. There’s a Plan B. If Unruh can win over one-fourth support from the rules committee — just 29 delegates — the full convention must vote on her proposal. So far she’s got around 10 supporters… …On Thursday night, Unruh was on a conference call that included at least 30 delegates from 15 different states, and the Washington Post says that regional coordinators for this effort have been recruited “in Arizona, Iowa, Louisiana, Washington and other states…” One individual that took part in this conference call on Thursday night told CNN that calls are pouring in from people all over the country that want to be part of this movement…” I tip my hat to Michael Snyder for uncovering much of this and doing a masterful job of connecting the dots. I would like to ask Unruh, two questions: What bribes have the corporations offered to you? Have you even considered the impact on your children and the rest of the young people in America if your plan succeeds? Because, if Unruh(ly) is successful, Hillary will surely be elected and our children will be condemned to living in a hell hole dominated by free trade agreements, unbridled illegal immigration, the imposition of Sharia Law, the TPP, miserable poverty and the loss of all civil liberties. GOP members like Unruh and Ryan are no better than Clinton. These claims by the Washington Post are bolstered by the fact the Republican Arizona Governor, Doug Ducey, a globalist, was an unexpected no-show at the Trump rally in Phoenix last Saturday. Conclusion As distasteful as the “stop Trump” movement presented here may appear to be, the movement is tame in comparison to what could lie ahead for the American people should Trump secure the nomination. Then it will be no longer a case of stopping Trump. It will be a case of stopping the newly awakened American people. Things could get very, very ugly. America, you living in a period of history that will undoubtedly shape the country and the world for generations to come, and right now it looks like the bad guys are winning hands down. If the upcoming election is to feature some combination of Romney and/or Ryan vs. Hillary Clinton, we might as well have Hitler vs. Stalin in 2016. The implications are obvious and will explored in detail in an upcoming article.

Hillary Clinton Absolutely Ripped To Shreds!

Based On This Amazing, Must-Watch Video, 'The Party Has Just Begun'

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

In the only video below we hear one of the most awe-inspiring speeches that we have heard in a very long time and are given a nearly endless list of why 2016 is the most important election in possibly the history of our fledgling Republic and also witness what may soon be coming about within the general election as Donald Trump's 'warm-up act', Stephen Miller, absolutely decimates Hillary Clinton, ripping her and the never-ending corruption surrounding her to shreds. As if Clinton needed any help what-so-ever in destroying herself after being outed for taking millions of dollars from countries that outright slaughter gays and lesbians, showing us once again what a total hypocrite she is, Miller shows us why the 2016 general election may soon turn into an outright 'political bloodbath' by absolutely ripping into Hitlery and the corruption that surrounds her, proving to us she should be in prison and not running for the highest office in the land. This video also proves to us why America is absolutely doomed if she is somehow (s) elected in November, proving to us here at ANP why America is destined for total destruction if it allows such incredible corruption to continue to enslave and destroy what much of the planet once looked at as the greatest nation on Earth. "It's crucially important that every morning we wake up we're cognizant of just how historic and how rare this opportunity really is because folks, it's not going to come again. I mean, we have been betrayed and let down by politicians year after year after year after year after year." Miller does not hold back on the Clinton crime family: "Our political system sells favors to the highest bidder and no one in this country has done more to sell out our government to the highest bidder than Hillary Rodham Clinton." While putting in 'a plug' for Bernie Sanders, Miller then slams Hitlery again: "In one of the great ironies of this race is that in the year of Bernie Sanders in the Democratic Party, because of the super-delegates they went ahead and nominated the FACE OF SPECIAL INTEREST CORRUPTION in America...nobody has taken more money from special interests in return for more favors than Hillary Clinton". Why would Hitlery take MILLIONS OF DOLLARS from some of the most repressive and brutal regimes in the world; from regimes that make it public policy to EXECUTE gays and lesbians? Why would Hitlery do so and then pretend to be the friend of gays and lesbians? Isn't it time that Americans 'awaken en masse' to the absolute barbaric and hypocritical policies that Hitlery and the Clinton Foundation engage in, policies that HURT all Americans, not just gays and lesbians? We also have proved to you that Hitlery's State Department had ties to the father of Orlando shooter Omar Mateen. Why would Hitlery seemingly WANT gays and lesbians executed and slaughtered by accepting 'dirty money' from nations that do so? Having now been proven as taking money from terroristic governments around the world, some of the most brutal worldwide, should Hitlery even be allowed by law to run for president or any other political office in America? The scandals that surround her are legendary. Republished below is a portion of an email that ANP recently received: For word from the Cornell Law Library and from the Government Publishing Dept. Former United States Attorney General Michael Mukasey tells MSNBC that not only is Hillary Clinton's private email server illegal, it "disqualifies" her from holding any federal office. Such as, say, President of the United States. Very specifically points to one federal law, Title 18. Section 2071. For those of us who do not have United States Code committed to memory, here's what it says: "(a) Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. (b) Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States. As used in this subsection, the term "office" does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the Armed Forces of the United States." Yes, it explicitly states "shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States." Shouldn't voters know that? The media won't tell them. So it's up to us. Can you help hold Hillary accountable? Pass this on, please. Now !! Does anyone believe that this will make a difference ?? Now if Hillary is allowed to run for a office of any kind, it will show us that the Washington D.C. establishment is so much more corrupt than we thought. Whether or not Hitlery is actually prevented from being president or not based upon the information above it's quite clear, America has never been as absolutely corrupted as we are right now. Miller absolutely lambasts 'the evil hypocrite' and how far America has already fallen under her 'guidance' in this video, one that we hope you help go viral as it could be the next step in bringing down the Clinton political regime for once and for all-time, and for the best for America.

Obama's EPA caught covering up high heavy metals pollution across U.S. cities as federal government wages multi-faceted WAR against its own citizens

Tuesday, June 21, 2016 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

(NaturalNews) Our citizen-powered EPA Watch program has now resulted in the open source publishing of heavy metals contamination tests of 230 municipal water samples across America. The results show that two to three per cent of the U.S. water is highly contaminated with toxic heavy metals, poisoning an estimated 10 million Americans with brain-damaging contaminants that surpass EPA limits. Yet the EPA has not alerted Americans to these toxic heavy metals in their water. Just as in the case of Flint, Michigan, the EPA is systematically covering up irrefutable scientific evidence of heavy metals water contamination across America. To discover all this, Natural News volunteers collected water samples from over 230 municipal water sources across America and sent them to my laboratory for testing. My lab, known as CWC Labs, is an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) laboratory with exhaustive expertise in heavy metals analysis. Through meticulous testing of the water samples, we scientifically documented a disturbing pattern of heavy metals water data that's now available to the public. Click here to view the data now at the Natural Science Journal, sorted by zip code. Data points shown in YELLOW indicate 50% or more of the EPA's limit. RED indicates concentrations that exceed EPA limits. Two to three per cent of U.S. municipal water systems are heavily contaminated with copper, arsenic or lead Our data show that two to three per cent of municipal water systems are heavily contaminated with toxic heavy metals. This means as many as 10 million Americans may be consuming heavily contaminated water right now. Yet Obama's EPA -- which also engaged in criminal cover-ups of glyphosate contamination of the food supply -- hasn't said a word about this to anyone. In Flint, Michigan, three local water officials were charged with felony crimes for committing deliberate scientific fraud to hide lead contamination from the public. Yet as this exclusive Natural News investigation reveals, the EPA is engaged in a far wider conspiracy of silence about the heavy pollution of municipal water supplies all across America. Somehow, nobody from the EPA ever gets charged with a crime or goes to prison... is anyone surprised? You'll also notice that the EPA never dares publish raw, unfiltered heavy metals data on U.S. water systems. Instead, just like municipal water quality bureaucrats do, they cherry pick the results they want to "count" while ignoring all the data that show high heavy metals. America is being systematically poisoned, deceived and destroyed by a deliberate enemy force occupying the highest levels of government As a result, the entire nation of America is being systematically lied to about water quality by a crooked, corrupt EPA that has abandoned real science, operating under the deceptive, dishonest Obama regime that also excuses radical Islamic terrorism on U.S. soil. What's next... will Obama enable and then apologize for Islamic radicals poisoning the water supply with deadly radioactive weapons of mass destruction while the EPA looks the other way? Given recent events, it no longer sounds like a kooky conspiracy theory, does it? Suddenly we're all living in an America where our own federal government is actively conspiring against the citizens on a daily basis, supporting enemies who attack us, covering up mass heavy metals poisoning and excusing acts of terrorism that are taking place right in our own communities. Suddenly, Americans are waking up to find that they are now the "enemies" of their own government... a government now run by obvious traitors and criminals in positions of high power who seem determined to destroy this once great nation by any means possible: Poisoning the water, gutting the economy, terrorizing our citizens, welcoming a land invasion of illegals carrying infectious disease, destroying our children with toxic chemicals in deadly vaccines and stripping away our rights and freedoms while constructing a totalitarian surveillance state that offers only suffocation, not security. There is a war on America, and it is being waged by traitors who now occupy the highest offices of the land. The heavy metals poisoning of the water supply is just one small part of this war that's intended to decimate America by attacking the brain function of its citizens; other weapons of mass chemical destruction also include antidepressant drugs, fluoride chemicals in the water supply, glyphosate weed killer in the food supply and hormone disruptors that permeate packaged foods. We are all being deliberate poisoned while the obedient sheeple worship basketball on TV and eat themselves to death with MSG-laced GMO junk foods. Is it any wonder this nation now seems to have passed the tipping point of sanity and descended into a real-world Idiocracy? It is no coincidence that lead and copper -- the two most prominent heavy metals we found in municipal water samples -- both promote cognitive decline, confusion and psychosis. This is precisely the kind of mass confusion (and mental illness) desired by irrational, insane pushers of political criminality who are trying to get the traitor-in-chief Hillary Clinton elected to office. After all, if they can just keep up the deliberate destruction for four more years, there might be nobody left who's capable of fighting back against overarching tyranny... and from that point forward, it all descends into a corporate-government system of runaway fascism, secret police and total censorship of natural medicine, home gardening, home schooling, rainwater collection, self-reliance and even Christianity itself. If Clinton gets elected to office, government medical enforcers will be shooting up your children with vaccines at gunpoint, criminalizing naturopathic medicine, imprisoning herbalists and forcing everyone to eat GMOs. The "good" news in all this is that lead in the water will then be the least of your concerns. And you'll probably be dead anyway, because a totalitarian Clinton regime will be rounding up all independent thinkers and executing them en masse (a la the "cultural revolution" of communist China) in the name of "tolerance."

Hospital Drops Abortionist After Demonic Rant Saying He Loves Killing Babies

National Steven Ertelt, Micaiah Bilger Jun 20, 2016 | 1:37PM San Diego, CA

Last week, LifeNews reported on how a California pro-lifer captured his disturbing exchange with a notorious San Diego abortionist on video. Now, a local hospital has terminated its relationship with the abortion practitioner. Abortionist Robert Santella has a bad reputation with his patients, having faced several disciplinary measures from the California Medical Board. He also has been accused of injuring several patients in botched abortions. Recently, pro-life advocate Zephaniah Mel stood outside Santella’s Family Planning Associates abortion clinic in San Diego and was approached by Santella. The 72-year-old abortionist’s demeanor and remarks are extremely disturbing. At one point, Santella, in a demonic rant, told Mel that he “loves” aborting babies. Now, the pro-life group Operation Rescue says Santella has been dropped by a local hospital: Allyson Smith was appalled by the recent video showing Robert Santella, an abortionist with the Family Planning Associates abortion facility in San Diego, growling in a demonic “freak-out” at another pro-life activist. Smith noticed that during his rant, Santella wore an identification badge from Sharp Healthcare, a group of hospitals throughout San Diego County. Due to her long-time involvement in the pro-life movement, Smith knew exactly what to do. She posted to her Facebook page that she contacted Sharp Healthcare via e-mail on the morning of June 17. Hi there, I would like to bring this video to your attention. The crazed doctor in this video is Robert Santella, who performs abortions at Family Planning Associates on Miramar Road. You’ll notice he is wearing a Sharp Healthcare ID tag. A quick Internet search reveals that he is affiliated with Grossmont Hospital. Why is this “doctor” allowed to be affiliated with Grossmont Hospital? He is nuts and should be fired. What will you do about him? Thanks. Keep up with the latest pro-life news and information on Twitter. Soon, she received a reply from Sharp’s Grossmont Hospital: Hi Allyson: Thank you for your message. We appreciate your concerns regarding this physician, and we can assure you that he is no longer affiliated with any of our hospitals, he is not employed by our medical groups, and he does not practice or have admitting privileges at any of our facilities. We are currently looking into other aspects of this matter, and we will provide updates as we have more information “This is a great example of how much can be accomplished with just a little smartly directed effort,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue, which protested Santella regularly in the 1990s and early 2000s before relocating to Kansas. “Allyson’s letter will probably save a lot women from being subjected to Santella’s unstable behavior.” Santella allegedly botched at least two women’s abortions in 2015 alone, LifeNews reported. Pro-lifers who witnessed one of the incidents said one woman’s mother called 911 for her daughter after Santella and his staff refused to. Santella also has a bad reputation with the California Medical Board and has faced disciplinary measures on several occasions. The medical board also is reviewing a new case alleging that Santella neglected his treatment of five patients, according to the report. “If only the California Medical Board had taken stronger measures with Santella when he showed incompetence in 1984 and 2000, a lot of human misery could have been avoided,” said Newman. “Some people are not fit to practice medicine, and Robert Santella is among them. We pray the Medical Board will take sterner measures to limit his options so he will be forced to look for another line of work. We also pray he gets the spiritual and mental health assistance he obviously requires.”

Unearthed letters cast doubt on Obama's family story

Posted By Jerome R. Corsi On 06/20/2016 @ 8:01 pm In Front Page,Politics,U.S. Barack Obama Sr.

NEW YORK – In newly discovered letters, President Obama’s Kenyan father made no mention of his son, raising further doubt about the personal narrative that helped put Obama on a rapid path to the White House. The New York Times published six letters from a collection of 24 written by Barack Hussein Obama Sr. that were discovered recently in an archives box at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem. The letters dated after Feb. 2, 1961 – the earliest date attributed to the Kenyan’s marriage to Ann Dunham – made no mention of Dunham or their son, the future president, which would have been to his advantage in his desperate effort, as the letters show, to obtain funding for his studies. Barack Obama Jr.’s path to the White House began when he famously introduced himself to the world at the Democratic National Convention in 2004 as the product of an “improbable love” between a Kansas girl and a Kenyan goat herder. Elsewhere, Obama has insisted that the love endured even when his father had to leave a wife and a 2-year-old child behind to pursue dreams at Harvard. In his autobiography, Obama indicated that if only Harvard would have offered enough money to support all three of them, as another school did, they could have stayed together. But the newly discovered letters confirm WND’s reporting that Obama Sr. never lived with Dunham and she left Hawaii with her son only weeks after he was born. Is America headed toward death or rebirth? A former House majority calls America to “Revival! Revolution! Rebirth!” in a new book debuting Tuesday! Barack Obama Jr. said in his autobiography “Dreams from My Father” that the details of the marriage between his father and Dunham remained murky. Various biographies of Dunham, meanwhile, suggest the two were married only after she became pregnant, with Obama in “Dreams” claiming the two were married on an unspecified date in May 1960. In his 2012 book “Barack Obama: The Story,” author David Maraniss claims the Kenyan married Dunham in Maui on Feb. 2, 1961, yet no official marriage certificate has ever surfaced. Financial struggle The letters show that the senior Obama struggled financially to get to Hawaii, where he eventually enrolled at the University of Hawaii in 1959. And letters written in 1961 and 1962 made clear he experienced similar difficulties in his attempt to get to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to begin graduate work at Harvard University. Barack Obama Sr. addressed most of the six letters to his primary financial benefactor in the United States, John Livingstone, a staff assistant at the Washington-based Institute of American-African Relations. In a May 18, 1959, “Application for Financial Assistance” produced by African-American Institute Inc. – a group with the same address listed for John Livingstone – the Kenyan indicated he was married, naming as his wife Kesia Aoko. Obama Sr. abandoned Aoko in Kenya when he left for Hawaii in 1959. On the application, he also indicated he had been accepted at the University of Hawaii to study applied science in the fields of civil engineering and architecture. But he noted that he had not been offered a scholarship. What do YOU think? Has Obama been honest about his family history? Sound off in today’s WND Poll! The Kenyan asked the African American Institute for a grant of $1,300, with $500 for maintenance and $800 for transportation. He listed he had $1,100 available from private funds and a $400 grant from the Laubach Literary Mission Fund, an affiliated group of the Laubach Institute. The institute was known in that era to support the idea of a socialist world without borders. It also showed up listed as a sponsor in the Kenyan’s INS immigration documents. No mention of Dunham On Feb. 8, 1961, some five days after Maraniss claims Obama Sr. married Dunham, Obama wrote to Gordon Hagberg, the director of the African American Institute, at a DuPont Circle address in Washington different from Livingston’s address. In the letter, the Kenyan thanked the African American Institute for the $500 “received for the second semester” and the $500 “received for last semester.” The letter, applying for a scholarship in 1961 discussed in detail Obama’s transcript showing he was carrying a 3.7 grade point average, having just completed seven courses for 21 credit hours, receiving four grades of “A” and two grades of “B.” But the letter, focused entirely on academic considerations, made no mention that he had married a Hawaii woman. It’s a fact he could have referenced to obtain more funding, arguing he had taken upon himself the responsibilities of a student wife and possibly future children. On April 1, 1961, Lee E. Winters Jr., an assistant professor of English at the University of Hawaii, wrote Hagberg a letter endorsing Obama Sr. for a continuing 1961 scholarship. “Beyond purely academic pursuits, Mr. Obama has done an exemplary job of getting along with people and finding out about the local community and its varied nationalities,” Winters wrote, without any mention that Obama had done so well that he had just married a U.S. national residing in Hawaii. “The only serious problem that Mr. Obama has faced in his life here has been financial,” Winters continued. “The cost of living in the Islands is fantastically high, and I sympathize with anyone who has brought any money here from elsewhere, as its purchasing power being so drastically decreased.” ‘Airfare to Harvard is $400’ On June 13, 1962, when his son Barack Obama would have been some eight months old, the Kenyan penned a handwritten letter to Robert L. Sherman, a staff associate of the African American Institute in New York City. In that letter, Obama Sr. makes it clear he had been accepted at Harvard Education, but he had no means to pay for the transportation to get there. “I am graduating here [in Hawaii] on the 17th of this month,” Obama wrote. “I am intending to leave here on the 21st of this month, which means that I have only one week in which to find the money for travel. I am desperate and I shall, therefore, be most obliged if you will let me know what became of the application and whether I am going to get any assistance.” He continued, again without mentioning Dunham or the possibility he might get a transportation loan from Dunham’s parents, both of whom were supposedly gainfully employed at that time. “I am desperate and I have no transportation money,” Obama continued, repeating the urgency of his request. “Unless I get some assistance I will be stranded here. Please let me know about this before the 20th of this month if you can. The fare from here to Harvard is about $400.” While mentioning he also needed money for living expenses once he got there, given that the scholarship he was awarded by Harvard covered only tuition, Obama concluded the letter by repeating the urgency of his request for $400 airfare. “I hope to hear from you very soon, at least about the transportation fare, since I have only one week remaining,” Obama said in closing. “We can talk about my application for assistance while at Harvard when I get there, if not now. This is very urgent.” ‘A hamburger is 50 cents’ Then, on Nov. 28, 1962, when his son in Hawaii would have been some 15 months old, Obama Sr. typed a letter to Robert Sherman, addressed as the director of the Student Assistance Program at the Phelps Stokes Fund in New York City. The letter was sent from Obama’s address on Irving Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. “The Spring term ends on the 4th of February,” Obama wrote. “So far my funds have been running very fast since I have to buy winter clothings (sic). Also rents are very high here. I am therefore counting on your assistance for the Spring term.” The rest of the letter continues with Obama expressing how desperately low he was on money to live in Cambridge and continue his studies, again without any mention of his wife and son left behind in Hawaii or any hint of a suggestion that Obama might have some continuing financial obligations to his abandoned Hawaiian family. “In fact I am surprised that even a hamburger is ¢50 here, a thing I never experienced before,” Obama continued. “The minimum I can live on here is $200. So far I have completely no funds for the second semester.” He asked only for enough money to make it through the next term. “I do not even have anywhere to run except to you,” the Kenyan pleaded. “I shall therefore be most grateful if you will help me with the funds for the next semester as you promised me when I last talked with you when I was in New York. I am sure that if I can get the $1,000 which I applied for I should be able to pull through the second semester.” How Obama Sr. got to Hawaii WND reportedl in 2010 the flight manifest found in the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., debunked President Obama’s claim that his Kenyan father had come to the United States as part of airlift of 81 Kenyan students backed by baseball player Jackie Robinson, which arrived in New York on Sept. 9, 1959. The New York Times article published Saturday corroborates WND’s previous reporting that he set off for the U.S. on an initial flight from Nairobi to Rome. WND also reported in 2010 that Obama’s flight to the United States in 1959 was paid for by Mrs. Helen Roberts and Mrs. Elizabeth Mooney Kirk, “an international literary agent,” a co-author with Charles Laubach, the founder of the Laubach Literary Institute. Kenyan politician Tom Mboya put Obama’s name on a list compiled by the African American Students Foundation of students eligible to receive one of a handful of scholarships in part funded by Jackie Robinson and administered by the Scheinman Foundation. William X. Scheinman was a Wall Street broker who befriended Mboya on a trip to Africa in 1956 and subsequently involve helped finance the students Mboya sent to the U.S. from Africa. WND further reported finding in the archives at the Library of Congress a Sept. 19, 1959, newspaper article authored by reporter Shurei Hirozawa documenting that Obama Sr. arrived at the University of Hawaii with no scholarship and very little money. Obama Sr. “clerked several years in the capital city of Nairobi to save enough for a college education and picked the University of Hawaii when he read in an American magazine about its racial tolerance,” Hirozawa wrote. “But the money he saved will only stretch out for two semesters or less because of the high cost of living in Hawaii, he found out,” Hirozawa continued. “He’ll work, he says, and probably apply for a scholarship.” Leftist activist financed Obama Sr. Leftist activist Cora Weiss provides the answer to who funded Obama Sr.’s education in Hawaii. In a letter dated May 7 to the New York Times, Weiss acknowledged that Obama came to Hawaii on his own. “Barack Obama Sr., who greatly admired Mboya, did not come on the first flight, but he was a member of the airlift generation, arriving here in 1959 with the support of two American women teachers.” Weiss goes on to state that the African American Students Foundation Inc. provided Obama Sr. with three grants, allowing him to continue his studies at the University of Hawaii after his personal savings were exhausted. Shachtman confirms in “Airlift to America,” on page 9, that the African American Students Foundation sent Obama Sr. checks while he was at the University of Hawaii, “in increments of $50 or $150 for expenses, $243 for tuition. Shachtman further noted Obama Sr. “was mostly supported by Mooney, who in 1960 had married an expatriate American, Elmer Kirk, and shortly moved with her husband back to the United States. Shachtman also commented that “some Kennedy money was later used to assist [Obama Sr.] in Hawaii,” although Shachtman failed to provide details. As noted by David Horowitz’s Discover The Networks, Weiss has served since its inception in 1959 as the president of the Samuel Rubin Foundation, named for her father, the Faberge millionaire and secret Communist Party USA member and identified Comintern agent. Horowitz also credits Weiss with being a principal financier and board member of the Institute of Policy Studies that was founded with a 1963 grant from the Rubin Foundation. Weiss’s husband, Peter, is chairman of the Institute of Policy Services board of trustees and a member of the National Lawyers Guild and the National Emergency Civil Liberties Committee, both of which were created as Communist Party front organizations. The Institute of Policy Studies has advanced leftist causes since its foundation. The institute’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., was a place for KGB agents from the nearby Soviet embassy to convene and strategize, . In her May 7 letter to the New York Times, Weiss said the African American Students Foundation was formed after Mboya’s trip to the U.S. in April 1959, seeking scholarships so Kenyans and other East Africans “could secure the education never offered under British colonialism.” According to Weiss, the founders of the African American Students Foundation included William X. Scheinman, singer Harry Belafonte, actor Sidney Poitier, Jackie Robinson, civil rights activists Frank Montero and Ted Kheel, Mrs. Ralph Bunche, Mrs. Chester Bowles “and a host of educators and me.” Weiss noted the African American Students Foundation brought 773 students from Kenya and East Africa to the U.S. between 1959 and 1963.

Obama Administration Has History of Scrubbing Allah from Transcripts

by Aaron Klein20 Jun 20162,913 SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER

TEL AVIV – Monday’s release of the text of Orlando terrorist shooter Omar Mateen’s 9-1-1 call is not the first time the Obama administration purportedly scrubbed “Allah” from a transcript. To this day, the official White House transcript of a Rose Garden ceremony with the father of released soldier Bowe Bergdahl transcribes every word besides Robert Bergdahl’s Arabic declaration of “Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim.” That means “In the name of Allah, the merciful, the compassionate.” The White House website provides a video of the ceremony, at which the controversial prisoner swap for Berghdahl in exchange for five Taliban members who were being held at the detention center at Guantanamo Bay was announced. In the video, Robert Bergdahl can clearly be heard making the declaration to Allah. Yet, here is the relevant portion of the official transcript, as provided by the White House: I’d like to say to Bowe right now, who is having trouble speaking English — (speaks in Pashto) — I’m your father, Bowe. The “Pashto” is actually Arabic. Watch the full video here. (Robert Bergdahl’s Allah remarks begin at 4:05) Afterwards, the Daily Mail cited a report that the Taliban were “thrilled” at the declaration to Allah. The newspaper reported: The Arabic phrase bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim appears prominently in the Koran and means ‘In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful’. Sara Carter, senior Washington correspondent for conservative news network TheBlaze, said her Taliban sources were ‘thrilled’ at the phrase being used. At the time, former CIA officer Clare Lopez explained of the Arabic declaration, “These are the opening words of every chapter of the Qur’an except one (the chapter of the sword – the 9th).” “By uttering these words on the grounds of the WH, Bergdahl (the father) sanctified the WH and claimed it for Islam,” Lopez charged. Brigitte Gabriel of Act for America told Fox News that the expression declares the greatness of Allah, and she called it a “war cry of Allah.” Zuhdi Jasser, an advocate for moderate Islam, told Fox News that he uses the phrase daily in his prayers and that the expression is not necessarily radical. On Monday, the FBI finally released what it said was a full transcript of Mateen’s 50-second call with a 911 operator while he was perpetrating the deadly attack on the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. After first releasing a redacted transcript that deleted references to the Islamic State, the FBI released the full transcript, which included an English translation changing the word “Allah” to “God.” With research by Joshua Klein.

Alert: Very Strange BIOHAZARD Military Drill Set For July Using Foreign Language Services

A military drill regarding a potential biohazard scenario is set to take place in July, and this drill will use Foreign Language Services. Without a doubt, there is something to these exercises that should make us question what is going on? And what is the military preparing for? As Americans, we have a right to know how the government spends our tax dollars, and why the military is training on our streets. Recently a job listing came up in Vermont, placed by the FLSS, which stands for “Foreign Language Services Simulation.” The drill is in July, in Burlington Vermont. The details of this “drill” are far from the usual crisis scenario. The listing on Craigslist was recently deleted by the author. The FLSS teamed with the DOD (as per their about page) will gear up for some “sort of” contamination drill. The exercise will entail; “Some role players/actors will get extremely wet. Prop clothing will be cut off and they will be scrubbed with brushes and a lot of water (possibly cold water).” There are an array of scenarios that come to mind given this description. Some of which could include contamination, disease, fires, health risks and so on. Given the fact that the FLSS is involved in this particular drill, it appears as though this training will potentially contain foreigners. The question from there is, will this drill be about refugees? Or will it be about Foreign troops? Both of which are already within the continental United States. The Vermont drill does house the possibility of being a false flag because also stated within the FLSS’s website is their role in “live” simulations. Foreign Language Services Simulation (FLSS) provides partnership to the Department of Defense by preparing the military for operational support on training fields at home and overseas. Despite our name, our training assets extend beyond integrating and operating with FLS’s. We offer Field Training, Instructional and Technical services involving live, simulated or virtual milieus. What separates FLSS’s training above the others? Our team members possess a wide array of military special operations experience. We have vetted these individuals to become Excellent Instructors, to bestow maximum potential to teammates and to pass down vital knowledge from today’s battlefields. Clearly, training must be current, realistic and relevant. Our instructors practice with teammates until practice makes perfect on: problem solving and reasoning, adaptive leadership skills, cultural/environmental awareness and emerging battlefield technologies. Our comprehensive training capacity covers critical details through training support (project management, scenario development, trainers, observer-controllers, and support staff) and training services (advisors, instructors, subject experts, and training/curriculum development). Furthermore, FLSS supplements staff for administrative, analytical, logistics staff support, strategic/tactical operations and planning, and technical. Failure is not an option. FLSS knows each and every mission places lives and material in the line of fire. This explains our motto: “We’re not looking just to win a contract; we’re looking to do the job right” – About page with their connections to the DOD. It is no secret that the DOD hires contractors to do the dirty work of false flags, it is also no secret that the military entangles itself with the agenda of the Elite, which is why these drills always have both purpose and meaning to the agenda. It is also important to note that not every exercise goes “live” but far too often the drills done by the government have mysteriously coincided with actual events carried out by actors, hence the name “false flag.” UPDATE Another drill is set for Vermont this fall as well, here is the PDF for what that will entail.

« ISIS has found a way to pierce US counter-terrorism defenses | Main | The Orlando Transcript and a Renewed Terrorist Threat » Monday, 20 June 2016 Disruptive Robocalling

Three months ago, I wrote up a worst case scenario for how the US could end up in a civil war this fall. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. The conditions that make the scenario possible are still valid. In fact, in one way it has gotten worse: one of the theoretical methods of disruption that I featured in the scenario was recently used in the real world. In my scenario, robocalling was used to shut down polling places to skew election results and plunge the US into chaos: Robocalls pour in to police departments and polling places in heavily (Rep or Dem) polling locations with bomb/terrorist threats. Widespread poll closures occur. Calls continue until late. This speculation became reality last month when threatening robocalls were used to shut down dozens of schools in at least 21 U.S. states: Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Maryland, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. As many as 10 schools received the threats in some states. Further, in the UK, several schools received a 90-second recorded call from a voice with an American accent promising that "shrapnel" would "take children's the heads off," according to multiple news reports. This was the first time we've ever seen a nation-wide/international use of this technique. It's also likely we'll see it again since: it works, there isn't a clearing house for threats of this type, responders/bureaucrats are extremely risk averse (even more so since Orlando and San Bernardino), and (most importantly) the US phone system is easy to hack. Let's expand on that last point. The reason the US phone system is easy to hack is due to the pervasive influence of the US direct marketing and collections (bad debt) industry. These industries lobby hard at the state level to ensure full hackable access to the system. However, this means it's easy for attackers to exploit the system to do real harm. Here's an example: It's possible to dynamically change the caller ID used on every call you make. This means an attacker can insert fake caller IDs such as "FBI" , "Atlanta Police" etc. to make their calls seem more credible and increase the disruptive impact. Sincerely, John Robb PS: bots will make it possible to automate terrorism....

What Could Go Wrong? Crime Fighting Robots Now Equipped with Self-Defense Instincts

TOPICS: Claire Bernish Robots June 21, 2016 By Claire Bernish

Once thought to be too approachable for their own good — as in, able to efficaciously perform the tasks they’ve been designed to do — robots are now being programmed with self-defense capabilities. Now, robots which, say, patrol for criminal or suspicious activity come with a blend of humanoid characteristics and self-defense programs which prevent them from being perceived as too cute — or too menacing. “Because of all the doomsday scenarios people imagine with robots, their makers have to insert some cuteness,” explained Golden Krishna, a designer with Alphabet’s Google, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. “When humans see a robot that doesn’t have eyes,” said Rodolphe Gelin, SoftBank Group Corp. robotics unit chief scientific officer, “they think it doesn’t care about them.” That perception — however Orwellian it might sound — can be detrimental to a robot’s ability to function on the job in the presence of humans. After several failed design attempts to find the appropriate balance between relatable and threatening — and a number of incidents in which robots faced ‘abuse’ or ‘assault’ by humans — newer robots employ self-defense capabilities. One incident of, well, ‘roboticide’ occurred with the failed experiment of HitchBOT. This cylindrical robot with an LED smile was dropped off on the roadside to see how if robots could “depend on people” — but the experiment came to an abrupt halt when HitchBOT “was found decapitated in Philadelphia last summer,” the WSJ noted. “While the project showed that they can indeed trust humans,” HitchBOT’s creators said generally of robots, “there are also exceptions to the rule.” Experts on the interaction between humans and their new mechanical counterparts observed “robot abuse” in action in Okinawa, Japan, in 2014, when robots designed to assist the elderly in purchasing groceries came under attack by children, who kicked it, beat it with a bottle and bent its neck. “The robot said ‘Someone help me!’ and Ouch, that hurt,” said researcher, Dražen Bršcic, with ATR Intelligent Robotics and Communications Laboratories, as cited by the WSJ. “But it didn’t stop the children.” Those experiments led, in part, to robots with human-like facial features that can also employ defensive tactics if someone gets spooked or wishes to cause harm. Instead of reacting as if they’re being hurt, some newer robots have been designed to simply stop moving altogether — in theory, to cause attackers to lose interest. Thus, the K5 — a robot who performs all the functions of security patrols except offense — was born. The WSJ described the K5: The camera ended up at nose position. A row of ultrasonic sensors, to help it avoid running into people, looks like buttons. A navigation laser resembles a hat. Curved lights are eye-like. The K5 patrols with buddy bots. If someone messes with one, its partner can document the offense. The K5’s shape and 300 pounds offer protection: The lack of edges make it hard for bad guys to lift and steal. Knightscope rents a K5 for $7 and hour or about $60,000 a year. This 5-foot, 3-inch, glossy-white, graffiti-resistant K5 now appears almost neutral and can interact with humans more readily than some previous designs — such as a robot resembling a small tank — but is built with the ‘play dead’ reflex if attacked. Knightscope, the start-up responsible for the K5, sought to create a beat cop robot; and the company’s vice president of marketing and sales, Stacy Stephens — as a former Dallas police officer — has offered input for the project. “When it comes to mischievous activities,” she said in the WSJ, “I know a bit about what people do. While the world might not be quite ready for armed robots-on-patrol, it would be a question worth considering as designs improve and people become familiarized to their presence. Armed, unmanned aerial vehicles — drones — have been responsible for a highly-contentious number of deaths in conflicts around the world, and particularly, the Middle East. Can armed, unmanned, non-aerial, ‘human-esque’ robots really be that far in our future? Below is a video of the K5 in action.

FBI says utility pole surveillance cam locations must be kept secret

"Disclosure of even minor details about them may cause jeopardy," bureau says.

by David Kravets - Jun 15, 2016 2:01pm EDT

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation has successfully convinced a federal judge to block the disclosure of where the bureau has attached surveillance cams on Seattle utility poles. The decision Monday stopping Seattle City Light from divulging the information was expected, as claims of national security tend to trump the public's right to know. However, this privacy dispute highlights a powerful and clandestine tool the authorities are employing across the country to snoop on the public—sometimes with warrants, sometimes without. Just last month, for example, this powerful surveillance measure—which sometimes allows the authorities to control the camera's focus point remotely—helped crack a sex trafficking ring in suburban Chicago. Meanwhile, in stopping the release of the Seattle surveillance cam location information—in a public records act case request brought by activist Phil Mocek—US District Judge Richard Jones agreed (PDF) with the FBI's contention that releasing the data would harm national security. "If the Protected Information is released, the United States will not be able to obtain its return; the confidentiality of the Protected Information will be destroyed, and the recipients will be free to publish it or post the sensitive information wherever they choose, including on the Internet, where it would harm important federal law enforcement operational interests as well as the personal privacy of innocent third parties," Jones ruled. Peter Winn, assistant US attorney in Seattle, won the injunction after telling Judge Jones that "the FBI’s use of the pole camera technique is a powerful tool in FBI investigations of criminal violations and national security threats. Disclosure of even minor details about them may cause jeopardy to important federal interests because, much like a jigsaw puzzle, each detail may aid adversaries in piecing together information about the capabilities, limitations, and circumstances of equipment’s use, and would allow law enforcement subjects, or national security adversaries, to accumulate information and draw conclusions about the FBI’s use of this technology, in order to evade effective, lawful investigation by the FBI" (PDF). The deployment of such video cameras appears to be widespread. What's more, the Seattle authorities aren't saying whether they have obtained court warrants to install the surveillance cams. And the law on the matter is murky at best. Consider that in February, an Ohio-based federal appeals court upheld the firearms conviction of a Tennessee man whose brother's rural farm was monitored for 10 weeks straight by a remote-controlled camera that the authorities installed on a utility pole 200 yards away without a warrant. That ruling conflicted with one issued by a Washington state federal judge who in 2014 tossed an alleged drug dealer's conviction that was gained under the same circumstances—the warrantless spying on a suspect via a webcam attached to a utility pole near his rural Washington state property. In May, the FBI dropped its appeal of that decision without providing any reason. Before abandoning its appeal, the government said (PDF) that it had the right to deploy the webcam without a court warrant because the device was on the public's right-of-way and was akin to a cop's observations from the street. The judge in the case, however, said the Fourth Amendment required that the police needed a warrant to spy. In an e-mail to Ars, Seattle city attorney spokeswoman Kimberly Mills declined to say whether the FBI obtained warrants to install surveillance cams on Seattle City Light utility poles. "The City is in litigation and will have no further comment," she said. Mills suggested we speak with the FBI office in Seattle, and we did. Ayn Dietrich-Williams, an FBI spokeswoman in Seattle, said that "given the ongoing litigation, it would not be appropriate for the FBI to comment." She pointed to Winn's filing as a source of possible answers. In Winn's brief, we discovered a link to "The Attorney General's Guidelines For Domestic FBI Operations." Under the "Particular Methods" section, there's this reference: Use of closed-circuit television, direction finders, and other monitoring devices, subject to legal review by the Chief Division Counsel or the FBI Office of the General Counsel. (The methods described in this paragraph usually do not require court orders or warrants unless they involve physical trespass or non-consensual monitoring of communications, but legal review is necessary to ensure compliance with all applicable legal requirements.) Mocek told Ars that as part of his utility pole cam investigation, "I have learned nothing of related warrants or of a lack thereof." Winn, meanwhile, wrote to Judge Jones that the location information about the disguised surveillance cams should be withheld because the public might think they are an "invasion of privacy." "Because of their close proximity to the subjects of surveillance, unauthorized disclosure of the locations of current or previously installed pole cameras can reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy for those persons under investigation who have not yet been charged. It can also reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of the privacy of innocent third parties not under investigation but geographically near the current or past location of the camera, who may falsely be assumed to be the subject of an FBI investigation," Winn wrote. Winn also said that revealing the cameras' locations could threaten the safety of FBI agents. "Revelation of the subject of an FBI investigation by the unauthorized disclosure of the location of a current or previously installed pole camera can have a devastating impact on an investigation," Winn told Judge Jones. "Armed with such knowledge, a subject would not only be able to evade further investigation by the FBI but would also be able to employ countermeasures to impede further investigation such as destroying, hiding, or otherwise concealing evidence; intimidating or retaliating against cooperating witnesses; or by simply fleeing the jurisdiction. Such disclosure would also allow any individual other than the subject of an investigation who is intent on interfering with or thwarting the investigation to do so. As such, unauthorized disclosure of the location of a pole camera could threaten the safety of the FBI agents involved with the investigation." And if the cameras become "publicly identifiable," Winn said, "subjects of the criminal investigation and national security adversaries of the United States will know what to look for to discern whether the FBI is conducting surveillance in a particular location."

Visium's Sanjay Valvani found dead in apparent suicide after insider trading charge

Business Insider By Rachael Levy June 21, 2016 9:27 AM

Sanjay Valvani, a portfolio manager at Visium Asset Management who was charged with insider trading last week, was found dead Monday night. "We mourn the tragic loss of Sanjay, a devoted father, husband, and friend," Jacob Gottlieb, Visium's founder, said in a statement. "Our thoughts are with his family during this difficult time." A New York Police Department representative said Valvani was found by his wife and left a suicide note. Valvani, 44, turned himself in to authorities last week. He was charged with netting about $25 million for an unnamed investment firm using inside information on the pending approval of a generic drug. Valvani had pleaded not guilty. "This is a horrible tragedy that is difficult to comprehend," Valvani's lawyer, Barry Berke, and partner Eric Tirschwell said in a statement. "We hope for the sake of his family and his memory that it will not be forgotten that the charges against him were only unproven accusations and he had always maintained his innocence." Visium had placed Valvani on leave earlier this year after it announced that it was under investigation. The hedge fund said on Friday that it would shut down its operations. Valvani faced numerous charges, according to the complaint: Valvani was accused of committing securities and wire fraud with a former senior Food and Drug Administration official, Gordon Johnston, from about 2005 through 2011. Valvani "unlawfully obtained highly confidential and material nonpublic information from the FDA about the agency's approval of pending generic drug applications," according to the US attorney's statement. Valvani was also charged with passing material nonpublic info to Chris Plaford, a former Visium portfolio manager, who allegedly traded on that info. Johnston and Plaford have pleaded guilty and admitted their participation in the scheme. The complaint said Valvani instructed Johnston, the former FDA official, about the status and approval of a generic drug, and Johnston passed along that info back to Valvani. Valvani was accused of using that info to bet on two pharma companies that were likely to be affected by the inside tip, allegedly netting about $25 million in trading profits. Valvani was also accused of tipping off Plaford on this info. A representative for the Department of Justice declined to comment on whether Valvani's death would affect the case. Dow Jones earlier reported that the death was an apparent suicide. *An earlier version of this article said that Valvani was found dead Tuesday morning. It has been corrected.

China creates world’s fastest computer without relying on US hardware for first time

Published time: 21 Jun, 2016 13:12

A Chinese supercomputer has been named the world's fastest computer for the seventh year in a row – but unlike previous winners, this year's champion uses only Chinese-designed processors, representing a decline of US dominance in the field. The new titleholder, the Sunway TaihuLight at the National Supercomputing Center in Wuxi, was developed by China's National Research Center of Parallel Computer Engineering & Technology. The supercomputer uses Chinese-developed ShenWei processors, “ending any remaining speculation that China would have to rely on Western technology to compete effectively in the upper echelons of supercomputing," said a statement by the TOP500 project ranking the world's fastest supercomputers. It is capable of 93 petaflops, or quadrillion calculations per second, according to TOP500. It was designed for use in engineering and research, including in the fields of climate, weather, life sciences, advanced manufacturing, and data analytics. The TaihuLight will be introduced at the International Supercomputing Conference in Frankfurt, Germany, on Tuesday. "As the first No. 1 system of China that is completely based on homegrown processors, the Sunway TaihuLight system demonstrates the significant progress that China has made in the domain of designing and manufacturing large-scale computation systems," Guangwen Yang, director of the Wuxi center, was quoted as saying in the TOP500 statement. Other countries with computers in the Top 10 were Japan, Switzerland, Germany, and Saudi Arabia. In addition to beating out US computers, China also surpassed the US for the first time as the country with the most supercomputers in the top 500. China had 167 systems and the US had 165. Japan took third place with 29 systems. China's developments serve as evidence of dwindling US dominance in the field, with TOP500 organizers saying: “Considering that just 10 years ago, China claimed a mere 28 systems on the list, with none ranked in the top 30, the nation has come further and faster than any other country in the history of supercomputing.” Defined as a computer that performs at or near the highest operational rate for computers, supercomputers are one of a series of technologies being used by China's ruling Communist Party for development. The technologies have received huge financial support in the country.

Russia successfully test-fires anti-ballistic missile – Defense Ministry

Published time: 21 Jun, 2016 08:08 Edited time: 21 Jun, 2016 14:55

The Russian Air Force has test-fired a domestically built short-range anti-ballistic missile to verify its performance. The system is already in use with the military as part of Russia’s missile defense shield. The short-range anti-ballistic missile (ABM) was successfully test-fired at 7.00am local time on Tuesday from the Sary-Shagan testing ground in Kazakhstan, the Russian Defense Ministry’s press service said, according to TASS. The missile defense system is capable of neutralizing a possible nuclear strike on Russia, and ensures operation of national command and control systems in real-time mode, the statement added. A newer missile defense system is expected to replace it in the future, utilizing upgraded software and modernized ABMs. The anti-ballistic missile performed well during the test and hit its target on schedule, Lieutenant General Viktor Gumenny, deputy commander of the Russian Air Force, told TASS. Russia has been developing a missile defense shield for several decades to secure strategic military balance with the US. The A-135 anti-ballistic missile system is currently deployed around Moscow. It comprises dozens of interceptor missiles and sophisticated early warning radars. The system, operated by the Air and Missile Defense Command of the Russian Air Force, is compliant with the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty from which the US unilaterally withdrew in 2002. America keeps developing its own systems, including in Eastern Europe, where NATO is building Aegis Ashore ground-based missile defense sites. The bloc’s missile defense compound in Deveselu, Romania, became operational in May. Poland plans to obtain a similar base within two years. Washington insists the Aegis Ashore systems are for “defensive purpose only,” arguing they would help protect European allies from Iran or North Korea’s missile threats. Moscow says the systems can be easily adapted to deploy offensive weapons. “The missiles are put into a capsule used for launches of sea-based Tomahawk missiles. Now they are placing their antimissiles there, which are capable of engaging a target at a distance of up to 500 kilometers [310 miles],” Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) on Friday. “We know year by year what will happen, and they know that we know,” he said, adding that Western officials “pull the wool over [their news outlets] eyes,” who in turn misinform their audiences. Russian leaders have previously said Washington’s missile defense plans in Eastern Europe leave Moscow with no choice but to target countries hosting such systems, stressing that Russia’s next-generation ballistic missiles are capable of penetrating any adversary missile defense shield.

(2nd LD) N. Korea preparing Musudan missile launch: source

2016-06-21 15:33 Normal FontLarge Font

(ATTN: UPDATES with background in last 8 paras)

North Korea appears to be preparing to launch a Musudan intermediate-range ballistic missile from the east coast, a South Korean government source said Tuesday, with Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) confirming that the reclusive country could move forward with another test fire. "We are closely watching after detecting signs that the North is moving toward the launch of what appears to be a Musudan missile," the source said on the condition of anonymity. Currently, the North appears ready to deploy a mobile launcher vehicle loaded with the missile to its east coast, according to the source. The JCS later said, "Our military is closely tracking related signs with the possibility of the North's additional missile launch being a consideration." Shortly before South Korea's confirmation, Japan's Kyodo news agency reported that the North is preparing to fire a ballistic missile. The media outlet said surveillance detected preparations to launch a missile loaded onto a mobile launcher. It speculated that the missile could be a Musudan. It said the launch could take place on Saturday, the date the 1950-53 Korean War broke out, or June 29 when the North is scheduled to hold the Supreme People's Assembly. The report also said Japan's Defense Minister Gen Nakatani has given the order to shoot down any North Korean missiles that violate Japan's airspace or territorial waters. With an estimated range of some 3,000 to 4,000 kilometers, the Musudan missile could theoretically reach anywhere in Japan and as far as Guam. North Korea has deployed some 50 Musudan missiles with its forces since 2007, but the country first test-fired them on April 15. The first test and two more launches, both on April 28, all ended in failure. On May 31, the North conducted its fourth Musudan launch test, although this attempt also ended in failure. Such back-to-back launch failures have stoked speculations that the North may not give up its test of the Musudan ballistic missile. South Korea's foreign ministry warned of action at the international level should the North launch another missile in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions. "This would further isolate the North from the international community, and in such an event our government plans to take steps, including at the U.N. together with our allies," ministry spokesman Cho June-hyuck said during a regular press briefing. The U.N. Security Council slapped the toughest sanctions yet on the North in March in response to its fourth nuclear test in January and its long-range rocket launch in February.

Large-scale motion detected near San Andreas Fault System

"We were able to break down the noisy signals to isolate a simple vertical motion pattern that curiously straddled the San Andreas fault," researcher Samuel Howell said.

By Brooks Hays | June 20, 2016 at 2:03 PM

HONOLULU, June 20 (UPI) -- Analysis of GPS data has revealed new areas of motion around the San Andreas Fault System. Using data collected by the EarthScope Plate Boundary Observatory's GPS array, researchers identified 125-mile-wide "lobes" of uplift and subsidence. Over the last several years, the lobes, which straddle the fault line, have hosted a few millimeters of annual movement. Computer models simulating the San Andreas Fault System have predicted such crustal movement, but the areas of motion hadn't been physically identified until now. Researchers used advanced statistical modeling to identify the movement among the inevitable statistical noise that comes with monitoring minute movements in the Earth's crust. "While the San Andreas GPS data has been publicly available for more than a decade, the vertical component of the measurements had largely been ignored in tectonic investigations because of difficulties in interpreting the noisy data," lead author Samuel Howell, a researcher at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, explained in a news release. "Using this technique, we were able to break down the noisy signals to isolate a simple vertical motion pattern that curiously straddled the San Andreas fault." The validity of the vertical patterns was confirmed by the fact that similar motions were predicted by an earthquake model designed by researchers at the University of Hawaii's School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology. "We were surprised and thrilled when this statistical method produced a coherent velocity field similar to the one predicted by our physical earthquake cycle models," said researcher Bridget Smith-Konter. "The powerful combination of a priori model predictions and a unique analysis of vertical GPS data led us to confirm that the buildup of century-long earthquake cycle forces within the crust are a dominant source of the observed vertical motion signal." Researchers say their new findings -- published in the journal Nature Geosciences -- could help scientists use smaller lobes of vertical motion to predict more significant ruptures.

Hundreds of families are evacuated as record-breaking heatwave gripping the Southwest kills four and feeds massive wildfires across three states, scorching thousands of acres At least four people have died from the blistering heat that has gripped the western United States, authorities said Three hikers and a mountain biker died in Arizona on Sunday, where record-breaking temperatures were reported The heatwave has fed wildfires in California, New Mexico and Arizona, forcing evacuations in some areas Twin wildfires in Azusa and Duarte in California burned through at least 3,500 acres in the San Gabriel Mountains Some 140 families were evacuated in the Santa Barbara area where about 2,000 firefighters have been battling the so-called Sherpa fire that has already burned nearly 8,000 acres

By Associated Press and Dailymail.com Reporter Published: 12:48 EST, 20 June 2016 | Updated: 08:47 EST, 21 June 2016

At least four people have died from the blistering heat that has gripped the western United States and fed wildfires across three states, forcing hundreds of homes to be evacuated, authorities said on Monday. The dead were three hikers and a mountain biker who succumbed to the heatwave in Arizona on Sunday, where record-breaking temperatures were reported in some areas. The mercury hit 118 in Phoenix on Sunday, according to the National Weather Service, breaking a record of 115 set for the date nearly 50 years ago. Some people in Arizona noticed the thermometers in their cars had spiked, with temperatures reading in the 120s. Larry Subervi, spokesman for the Phoenix fire department, said temperatures on Sunday had soared to 120 degrees and the crushing heat was expected to get worse on Monday before easing the rest of the week. He said one of the victims was an experienced 28-year-old female mountain biker who had embarked on a two-and-a-half-hour ride in the Phoenix area with enough water, but got overwhelmed by the heat. The other victims were a 25-year-old man who died while hiking on the Peralta Trail near Gold Canyon, a 19-year-old woman who died while hiking in the Tuscon area and a man who was found dead near another trail. 'We have a heatwave every year, but we are close to our all-time record in 1990 of 122 degrees Fahrenheit (50 Celsius),' he told AFP. The heatwave has fed wildfires in California, New Mexico and Arizona, forcing evacuations in some areas. Some 140 families were evacuated in the Santa Barbara area of California where about 2,000 firefighters for several days have been battling the so-called Sherpa fire that has already burned nearly 8,000 acres (3,200 hectares). Meanwhile, twin wildfires in Azusa and Duarte burned through at least 3,500 acres in the San Gabriel Mountains on Monday, according to the LA Times. The fires have forced around 750 residents to evacuate. Tawni Atencio was on the way to basketball practice with her mother when her stepfather called and told them they had to evacuate their home northeast of Los Angeles because of a wildfire. The 17-year-old Atencio says her mom turned the car around Monday and drove straight to their home in Bradbury, in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. They went back to get family photos, their two dogs, clothes, and their five cars and a boat. Atencio says the flames were just a couple miles from their home and were making the house hot despite air-conditioning. The teenager says the fire is crazy and scary but also that it was 'kind of cool' watching helicopters drop retardant on the blaze. Atencio says she's at a friend's house in Long Beach, California, while her family finishes evacuating. Meanwhile, another wildfire in Potrero, California, a small desert town close to the Mexican border forced 75 people to evacuate, Fox News reports. Authorities say a wildfire in eastern Arizona that doubled in size to nearly 42 square miles is burning in an area with sparse vegetation. Navajo County spokesman Adam Wolfe said Monday afternoon that 300 residents of the community of Cedar Creek have been warned to prepare to leave. He says the southern edge of the fire is still about 2½ miles north of the community. Multiagency operations chief Todd Abel says the fire isn't moving quickly toward Cedar Creek because of shifting winds. Some 770 firefighters are fighting the fire along with 37 engines, seven bulldozers, 11 water tenders, seven helicopters and four single-engine air tankers. Fire officials say additional resources have been ordered. The fire began Wednesday and its cause is under investigation. In New Mexico, the Dog Head fire about 30 miles (48 kilometers) south of Albuquerque has also damaged two dozen homes and scorched nearly 18,000 acres, forcing evacuations, officials said. They said that as of Monday morning, only nine per cent of the fire had been contained. Another fire caused by lightning near Cibola National Forest, in New Mexico, has eaten up more than 36,000 acres and was 30 per cent contained. The fire, which started on May 21, was expected to be contained by late July. Meanwhile, a flight from Houston heading to Phoenix had to return to the Texas airport because of complications from the heat. The United Airlines flight got as far as New Mexico before it was forced to turn around. In Southern California, the National Weather Service reported 17 daily heat records were broken on Sunday, most for readings well over 100 degrees. The aptly named desert town of Thermal about 25 miles southeast of Palm Springs saw a high of 119 degrees. Burbank was a record 109, breaking the old mark of 104. More of the same was in the works for Monday due to high pressure over the Four Corners region of the Southwest. 'We're expecting something similar with highs around 115 to 120, with the warmest areas in Southern California,' National Weather Service meteorologist Bianca Hernandez said. Southwestern residents commiserated on social media about the sweltering heat by posting photos of boiling temperature readings on car thermometers and cellphones. Some people ventured outside for quick errands. Kim Leeds, 28, had to take her dog Bo outside in the afternoon for a bathroom break. The Australian shepherd wears special booties with rubber bottoms that help protect his paws from hot pavement. 'He does really well with them. He doesn't mind walking around,' Leeds said. Preparing to enter her fourth summer in Phoenix, Leeds also decided to experiment with her car. 'I'm totally reveling in this experience because I'm actually baking cookies in my car,' Leeds said. 'I've been here long enough that I've got to do these things.' Others took advantage of discounts at Phoenix-area resorts, where summer can be the slow season. Hotel guests got an early start Sunday at the JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort and Spa as temperatures climbed. Several guests swam in the pool and sat under umbrellas sipping water and other iced drinks to cool off. State regulators urged residents to cut consumption of electricity Monday, when the heat wave was expected to peak. Firefighters made some progress against a blaze putting hundreds of homes and popular seaside campgrounds near Santa Barbara at risk when overnight winds pushed flames into previously burned areas. But officials warned of high heat, low humidity and gusty winds through Tuesday for the rugged coastal slopes. The blaze was more than halfway contained after burning more than 12 square miles since Wednesday, but 270 structures are still threatened. In central New Mexico, a 28-square-mile fire that erupted last week and destroyed 24 homes in the Manzano Mountains south of Albuquerque was largely uncontained. But higher humidity overnight allowed crews to strengthen lines around the fire and keep a lookout for hot spots where flames could jump the line. In eastern Arizona, a fire doubled to nearly 42 square miles and led officials to warn a community of 300 residents to prepare to evacuate. But the blaze on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation southwest of Show Low was not moving quickly toward the community of Cedar Creek because of sparse vegetation and shifting winds.

Israel and Turkey on the verge of an agreement

By NIMROD GOREN \ 06/20/2016 21:25

A new chapter in Israel-Turkey relations seems to be quickly approaching, producing a set fresh of bilateral and regional opportunities that are waiting to be explored and acted upon. Israel and Turkey have been conveying to their publics positive messages about progress in the bilateral negotiations toward a reconciliation agreement. Expectations are that a deal may be announced following the next round of talks, planned for the second half of June, and reconciliatory messages have been voiced in mid- June by the Turkish prime minister as well as by Israeli government officials. The agreement is set to upgrade Israel-Turkey relations to full diplomatic ties, and enable a return to normal relations. Major differences will remain between the two countries (including on Israel’s policies toward the Palestinians), but the two countries will be able to return to constructive working relations, as was the case in the first years of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in power, starting in late 2002. Israel and Turkey have been engaged in negotiations to try and mend relations for several years, since the flotilla incident occurred in May 2010. This process had many ups and downs, moving between progress and setbacks. But the fact that despite the growing mistrust and harsh rhetoric the two sides have found their way time and time again to the negotiation table means that they both see value in improving the relationship. A public opinion poll carried out by the Mitvim Institute in late 2015 showed that for the Israeli public, security cooperation is the most important reason to mend ties with Turkey. However, possible export of Israeli natural gas has become an important factor as well. While security and economics are important driving forces, the new chapter of Israel-Turkey relations should include more enhanced civil society cooperation among NGOs and think tanks, including in the fields of conflict resolution and democracy. For example, over the past four years, the Mitvim Institute and GPoT Center have been working together to support the mending of Israel-Turkey relations, and this cooperation can be a positive model for others. There is also an initiative to launch a Turkey-Israel Civil Society Forum, which can help fill a real gap in the field of cooperation between NGOs. A key pillar in the agreement relates to Gaza. Efforts have been made to find a formula that will address Turkey’s concern about living conditions there, and Israel’s concern regarding security threats. According to media reports, Turkey will be granted somewhat of a special status in regard to Gaza, which will enable it to support the people of Gaza through providing humanitarian aid, as well as water and energy. Such a formula can enable Israel to improve living conditions in Gaza, without having Hamas be able to claim credit for it. Turkey will be seen as the one to praise for this achievement. Other regional actors are also of significance. Saudi Arabia, which is gradually becoming a more important factor in the geo-political landscape of the Middle East, is also becoming more relevant to Israel- Turkey relations. Although Israel- Saudi relations do not formally exist, there is increased visibility to contacts between the two states (i.e. joint panels of Israeli and Saudi speakers in various conferences). The Saudis have also stepped up their cooperation with Turkey, and the close relations emerging between Saudi Arabia and Egypt can be valuable for attempts to mend Turkey-Egypt relations. Efforts in this regards have reportedly already taken place. This is something that Israel should encourage, as a parallel Israel-Turkey and Egypt-Turkey reconciliations will shape a much more positive, and win-win, environment in the eastern Mediterranean. A new chapter in Israel-Turkey relations seems to be quickly approaching, producing a set fresh of bilateral and regional opportunities that are waiting to be explored and acted upon. The Israeli-Turkish reconciliation should be seen as a first step in devising a new win-win regional architecture in the eastern Mediterranean, and not merely as a way to increase security coordination and to better confront joint threats.

Hamas and Egypt Make Amends?

The Truth About the Dangerous Detente

By Oren Kessler and Grant Rumley June 21 2016

A steady stream of reports in recent weeks has suggested that Egypt is burying the hatchet with Hamas. The Washington Post saw an “unlikely alliance” between the two, Al-Monitor floated the prospect of “reconciliation,” and Haaretz suggested that Cairo is offering the group “another chance.” In short, the reports suggest the two sides are setting aside decades of animosity to confront the shared threat posed by Sinai Province, the affiliate of the Islamic State (ISIS) in the Sinai Peninsula. If it sounds like a stretch, it’s because it is. The first notions of a budding Egypt–Hamas rapprochement appeared in March, when Cairo welcomed a rare delegation of Hamas political figures from the Gaza Strip, which the group controls. Egypt also reportedly began tamping down on anti-Hamas rhetoric in official media. The following month, Hamas deployed forces to Gaza’s border with Egypt in a bid to show Cairo that it is serious about stopping smuggling of arms to Sinai Peninsula fighters. Egypt and Hamas have a long and acrimonious history, and contrary to reports of an imminent rapprochement, their relationship remains icy. Hamas has fostered a black-market tunnel economy in Gaza for nearly a decade, ever since Egypt and Israel blockaded the Strip after Hamas seized power there in 2007. That smuggling network, in turn, has simultaneously enriched and armed Sinai Province, whose insurgency has killed hundreds of Egyptian servicemen since the 2011 ouster of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Since the military’s 2013 ouster of Mubarak’s Islamist successor, Mohamed Morsi, the military has waged a fierce campaign against the tunnels, destroying as many as 2,000 and creating a half-mile long “buffer zone” between Israel and Egypt. In this case, “buffer zone” is a euphemism for razing thousands of homes to make life difficult for would-be smugglers. In talks to end Israel’s 2014 war with Hamas, it was Cairo that took the strongest position against allowing Hamas to build a seaport to Gaza or easing the blockade on the Strip. Moreover, Hamas is an acknowledged offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Egyptian army’s decades-long nemesis, which it removed from power along with Morsi before jailing tens of thousands of its members. Egyptian officials have described the Brotherhood as the “mother” of all other extremist groups, and tend to view ISIS, Hamas, and the Muslim Brotherhood as three heads of the same terrorist beast. Cairo labels Hamas’ military wing a terrorist organization, and has accused it, in league with the Muslim Brotherhood, of the June 2015 assassination of its top prosecutor, Hisham Barakat. One of the deepest veins of Egypt-Hamas tension is the latter’s relationship with Sinai Province. It is true that Hamas and ISIS have significant ideological differences. ISIS has declared Hamas an apostate group and has denounced its Brotherhood parent group for engaging in the political process rather than joining the global jihad. For its part, Hamas has slammed ISIS for distorting Islam, as when the group beheaded 21 Egyptian Christians last year on a Libyan beach. Still, the two groups have previously shown themselves willing to set aside ideology for the sake of their own financial and strategic gain. Hamas might well view ISIS as a threat to its rule in Gaza (Hamas forces regularly clamp down on Salafi preachers in the enclave), but it has no qualms about supporting ISIS’ efforts against the Egyptian military in Sinai. Indeed, if there is any rapprochement occurring across the Egypt-Gaza frontier, it is between Hamas and Sinai Province. Both Egyptian and Israeli officials have cited intelligence that the two groups are growing close. Arms smuggling has diminished in recent months—a result of Egypt’s relentless campaign against Hamas’ tunnels—but otherwise, the relationship between Hamas and Sinai Province is business as usual. Hamas has provided medical care to dozens of Sinai Province fighters in Gaza over the last ten months, and a number of former Hamas activists have found their way into the peninsula to join the ISIS affiliate. All of this proceeds under the watchful eye of Hamas’ military wing. Hamas’ political leaders have refused to weigh in on the extent to which they support Sinai Province, thus allowing the military wing to handle the relationship (including by transferring anti-tank missiles) with almost full autonomy. Still, Hamas is playing with fire: the more it treats wounded ISIS fighters or hosts high-level ISIS commanders, the more support for the jihadist group is likely to rise within Hamas’ ranks. It will also face increased pressure from Egypt, which has responded to Hamas’ growing collusion with ISIS by clamping down on transit points between Gaza and Sinai. For example, Cairo has kept Rafah Crossing—Gaza’s one official entrance point to Egypt—largely closed this year, opening it for just six days over the past three months. Squeezed by Egypt on one side and Israel on the other, Hamas has striven to persuade Cairo that it means no harm. Last month, Hamas officials claimed that the group had saved Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi from a plot hatched by the rival Palestinian movement Fatah (a bizarre claim given Egypt’s closeness to the latter). More recently, Hamas has doubled down on its insistence that its struggle is limited to fighting Israel, and has “nothing to do with Egypt.” Beyond the talking points, however, old enmities die hard. Egypt and Hamas continue to have fundamentally divergent interests, ones that don’t lend themselves to quick fixes. With mutual animosity running this deep, rumors of any reconciliation between Egypt and Hamas are just that.

From ISIS Spy to Follower of Jesus: "I Hate Those People and They Show Me Love"

Chris Mitchell : Jun 21, 2016 : CBN News

(Vienna, Austria)—[CBN News] Europe faces an unprecedented threat from members of the Islamic State infiltrating the continent. That should send a sober warning to the West. (Photo: CBN News)

Several years ago, Pastor Ghassan Thomas fled Bagdad when Islamists threatened him and his family. He went to Turkey and started a church to reach out to other refugees. "I go everywhere because I was a refugee and I can put myself in their shoes and I understand them," Thomas told CBN News. One day, ISIS sent a spy into Pastor Thomas' church. The visit led to a life-changing decision and also provided an opportunity to learn more about ISIS. Pastor Thomas arranged a phone call for us with a man we'll call "Mohammed." We won't disclose his identity or location for his protection. After greetings in Arabic, he said, "Hello my dear brothers" and began to explain his job within the terror group. When ISIS killed a family inside their house, he would go back and kill anyone who was still alive. "In that time, I think in this way: I should kill. I should do many bloody things just to be close with my Allah," he said. Mohammed says this blood lust motivates ISIS. "For sure it will be more and more since it's in the Koran," he explained. "If you are not a Muslim, you need to be a Muslim or we should kill you and take your everything—financial, women and everything. This is in the Koran." Fighting between Sunni ISIS and Shiite militias often put Mohammed's own life in danger. For his safety, family members told him to flee to Turkey. As a devout Muslim, he obeyed his parents. His opportunity came when ISIS sent him to spy on Pastor Thomas' church. But Mohammed also had his own questions about Jesus. "I saw the people, how they welcomed me and they don't know me," he recalled. "And I hate those people and they show me love." They prayed for Mohammed and it changed his life. (Photo: Aimee Herd) "When they pray for me, I start to cry like a child. And I feel like something come out of my body—very heavy," he said. "When I finished the service, I went home, but there is a Person walking with me, just talking, but I feel like I'm not on the earth. I said, 'am I flying? I don't feel like I'm walking. Like Someone carry me.'" Then Mohammed began reading the Bible and comparing it to the Koran. "I went there and discovered this is the God I'm trying to find. This is the true God. This is what I want for my life," he said. Pastor Thomas says Mohammed's change of heart means the church in Europe needs more workers. "For this reason, we need some people [to] come and serve God in Europe with the refugees, just to wake them up—to be against what ISIS do," he said. This former ISIS member expects more attacks like the one in Brussels. He delivered a warning for Europe. "Do you think there's a great danger to Europe right now? For sure! It's a huge thing. They should wake up," he said.

Trump adviser tells Israel to wait to sign military aid deal

David Freidman says presumed GOP nominee would likely increase assistance so Israel maintains its ‘military and technological superiority in region’

By Stuart Winer June 22, 2016, 11:45 pm

A senior adviser to Donald Trump said Wednesday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should wait for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee to win the White House before signing a military aid deal with Washington, because Trump would offer a better deal than the Obama administration. In an interview with Channel 2 television David Friedman said that a Trump administration would maintain Israel’s military advantage over its neighbors. He said Trump would not reduce defense aid to Israel but “in all likelihood will increase it significantly.” “The aid package will certainly not go down in all likelihood it will go up in a material amount because Israel must maintain a technological and military superiority within the region,” Freidman said. “I can’t give advice how Israel should bargain and develop its own strategy.” Friedman’s suggestion that Trump would increase aid to Israel apparently ran contrary to the GOP candidate’s call to make Israel pay back foreign aid. In March, Trump said he believed Israel should pay for defense aid it receives from the US. Asked whether he believed the Israeli government should pay for American defense, as he had called for other US allies such as South Korea, Japan and Saudi Arabia to do, he said “I think Israel will do that also, yeah, I think Israel do—there are many countries that can pay and they can pay big league.” His comments came as Jerusalem and Washington grapple over a new 10-year defense aid pact to replace the current one, which expires in 2018 and grants the Jewish state more than $3 billion per year. “Certainly the Trump administration is not looking to cut back on foreign aid and in all likelihood will increase it significantly,” Friedman said. Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman (Yisrael Beytenu) asserted Tuesday that Israel and the US government were close to finalizing the multi-billion-dollar defense aid package. “We need a good agreement within an appropriate amount of time and I see no contradiction between the two. I believe we can reach an agreement by November,” Liberman said in reference to the negotiations. Liberman spoke ahead of an unveiling ceremony in Forth Worth, Texas, of the first F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jet coming off the production line for Israeli delivery. The US and Israel started negotiating a renewal of the 10-year defense package last summer, shortly after the completion of the Iranian nuclear deal. The memorandum of understanding, as the aid package is formally known, is one of the underpinnings of the US-Israel relationship, and is likely to encompass some $5 billion in defense assistance during the next 10-year period. Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

TEL AVIV – Recent corruption scandals may jeopardize stability in the West Bank, with Palestinians turning their ire on the Palestinian Authority and not just Israel, an Arab intelligence source told Breitbart Jerusalem.

by Aaron Klein and Ali Waked22 Jun 2016

The Palestinian media reported this week that cronies of Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah, presidential advisor Mahmoud Al-Habash, and Director of Intelligence Majed Faraj, were appointed to lofty public positions amid mounting unemployment among university graduates. It was reported that Habash’s son was hired as a state prosecutor even though he graduated from university with a mediocre overall grade of 53 percent. Rattled by the public outcry, PA President Mahmoud Abbas’ associates went on the defensive and accused his challenger, Fatah strongman Mohammed Dahlan, of waging a smear campaign against the president. The Arab source said that intelligence reviews indicate that Abbas’ popularity hit rock bottom against the backdrop of the corruption scandals and the diplomatic stalemate vis-à-vis Israel. He added that a popular uprising in the West Bank is not an unlikely scenario – only that this time it could be directed against Abbas and not just Israel. “The Palestinian Authority that has so far proved immune to the Arab Spring could witness the rise of a popular resistance movement, a ‘Palestinian Spring’ that would seek to expunge Abbas along with corruption at the top,” he said.This scenario has far-reaching ramifications, he said, and not only in the domestic arena, “because the group getting most of the fire is the one in charge of security coordination with Israel and the US, which is why we follow with concern what seems like loss of control in some areas, especially in the big refugee camps in Nablus, Jenin, and around Ramallah. “The population there is poorer and more distressed but also the population is less tolerant of corruption. We’ve seen clashes between PA forces and gunmen in the Balata refugee camp in Nablus, as well as in Jenin and the Alamaari refugee camp near Ramallah, and Jerusalem.” Abbas’ fate has become the talk of the day in Arab capitals, especially Cairo, Amman, and Riyadh, he added. “A destabilization process in Palestine, which could in turn be turned against Israel, may well fan the already high flames of the region,” he said. Palestinian politics feature in Israeli-Jordanian and Israeli-Egyptian discussions as well, he said “Everybody is concerned about Abbas losing control,” he said. “The problem is that even if the peace process started again, it wouldn’t address the corruption issue, which the Palestinians have decided they are fed up with regardless of regional matters.”

Hondo residents rally to save iconic 'God's Country' signs

Calberg, KENS 2:45 PM. CDT June 22, 2016

HONDO - There are some things you just don't mess with in Texas. In Hondo, it's iconic signs that have been challenging travelers for decades. For about 80 years, the "God's Country" signs beside Highway 90 have been greeting both east and westbound visitors, urging them to slow down and enjoy the scenery. "Welcome," they proclaim, "This is God's Country please don't drive through it like hell." But now, city leaders say the town's most famous landmarks are being threatened. Hondo Mayor James Danner says the first shot fired on city hall came in the form of an email. The Freedom From Religion Foundation asked that the signs be removed from city property in the name of separation of church and state. "It went into some legalities about freedom of religion and all that and then at the end, they said we respectfully ask you to remove your sign," Hondo Mayor James Danner said. According to Mayor Danner, reaction to the threat has been immediate and intense. Mike Daylong snorted, "That's B*****IT! You leave that one alone." "People have rights, and ah, religious rights," another resident of Hondo proclaimed. An army of Hondo residents is rallying to save the signs. Shirts featuring an image of the sign are selling fast at a local retailer and a Facebook page devoted to the effort is getting a lot of attention. The Mayor says no court action has been filed, but he expects it. He also expects they will fight back with every legal remedy they can.

1 million Christians on National Mall, unified in Jesus, is goal of July 16 event

by Michael Foust | 22 June, 2016

WASHINGTON (Christian Examiner) – Evangelist Nick Hall looks back at the history of revival movements on U.S. soil – from the First Great Awakening of the 1700s to the Jesus Movement of the 1970s – and he asks a simple question: Why not now? For the past three years, Hall and his team at PULSE have prayed for and worked toward an event on the National Mall they hope will bring 1 million Christians from all races and denominations to Washington, D.C., to stand for Jesus and unite in pray for the nation and the world. That event – called Together 2016 – will finally take place July 16 when more than 40 well-known speakers, authors and recording artists will gather in what organizers hope is the spark of another revival movement. "This generation really hasn't experienced a true Jesus Movement, a true unity movement," Hall told the Christian Examiner, referencing specifically the First Great Awakening, the Second Great Awakening, Azusa Street Revival, Youth for Christ Movement, and the Jesus People Movement – all of which took place in colonial America or after the nation was founded. "This is a chance to define our generation. We're really praying and believing that God can do it again." Confirmed speakers include Francis Chan, Ravi Zacharias, Luis Palau, Josh McDowell, Samuel Rodriguez and Ronnie Floyd. Among the artists: Hillsong United, Kari Jobe, Lecrae, Passion, Crowder, Kirk Franklin, Jeremy Camp, Michael W. Smith, Matthew West and Casting Crowns. As the Together 2016 website says, the rising generation is "the most cause-driven in history," but "our causes are pulling us apart." "Even religion doesn't unite," the website adds. "We believe only Jesus can bring us together." "We're living in an age where we have all these megachurches and mega-ministries, and yet we all focus on our own thing," Hall told CE. "There is this urgency in my heart and in our team's heart to say: We need to come together, we need to lift up Jesus." The day will involve unified prayer and worship, as well as a call to hit the "reset" in each individual's heart – that "change would begin in me," Hall said. It is no coincidence that Together 2016 is taking place in the middle of an election year, when the nation is as divided as ever, he added. "God doesn't do coincidence," Hall said. "We're as non-political as you can be. ... We just believe that Jesus wants to meet each and every person right where they are. Being that this is an election year, we hope that this can be a rallying point for the entire nation. There is so much attacking [one another] that doesn't match up with what we see in the life of Jesus. And yet we have the chance to rally our attention back to where our hope is found."

Hezbollah moving ‘tons of cocaine’, has ‘most sophisticated money laundering schemes’

June 22, 2016 by yalibnan

Hezbollah’s finance operations are thriving across Latin America months after the Drug Enforcement Administration linked the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group to drug cartels in the region, U.S. lawmakers were told this week. Former DEA operations chief Michael Braun said Hezbollah is “moving [multiple] tons of cocaine” from South America to Europe and has developed “the most sophisticated money laundering scheme or schemes that we have ever witnessed.” The agency announced in February that it had arrested several Hezbollah operatives accused of working with a major Colombian drug cartel to traffic drugs to Europe and launder money through Lebanon. Those arrests come against a backdrop of rising fears in Washington about smuggling connections between Middle East terrorist groups and the Western Hemisphere. Hezbollah has “metastasized into a hydra with international connections that the likes of [the Islamic State] and groups like al Qaeda could only hope to have,” Mr. Braun told the House Financial Services Committee. Adding to concerns about security threats from Central and South America, intelligence reports have also tracked how smugglers managed to sneak illegal immigrants from the Middle Eastern and South Asia straight to the doorstep of the U.S. — including helping one Afghan who U.S. authorities say was part of an attack plot in North America. Immigration officials identified at least a dozen Middle Eastern men smuggled into the Western Hemisphere by a Brazilian-based network that connected them with Mexicans who guided them to the U.S. border, according to internal government documents reviewed this month by The Washington Times. Those smuggled included Palestinians, Pakistanis and the Afghan man who Homeland Security officials said had family ties to the Taliban and was “involved in a plot to conduct an attack in the U.S. and/or Canada.” Concerns about Hezbollah’s activities in Latin America have surged the DEA’s announcement in February that top operatives from the group’s so-called Business Affairs Component, or BAC, “have established business relationships” with South American drug cartels such as the Colombia-based Oficina de Envigado, a crime syndicate “responsible for supplying large quantities of cocaine to the European and United States drug markets.” The DEA said several of the BAC’s Europe-based operatives had been arrested on charges of trafficking drugs and laundering money from South America to purchase weapons and finance the group’s military activities in Syria. The agency described an intricate network of money couriers who collect and transport millions of euros in drug proceeds from Europe to the Middle East. “The currency is then paid in Colombia to drug traffickers,” it said, adding that “a large portion of the drug proceeds was found to transit through Lebanon, and a significant percentage of these proceeds are benefiting terrorist organizations, namely Hezbollah.” The DEA said seven countries, including France, Germany, Italy and Belgium, were involved in an ongoing investigation. But few details were provided about how many suspects had been apprehended or where they are being held. Officials said the most significant arrest was of Mohamad Noureddine, whom the DEA accused of being a Lebanese money launderer for Hezbollah. A week prior to the announcement, the Treasury Department had imposed sanctions freezing any U.S. accounts tied to Mr. Noureddine as well as to Hamdi Zaher El Dine, another suspected money launderer. Decades of activity U.S. officials have long been wary of Hezbollah, a Shiite Islamic group. While it has a mainstream political arm in Lebanon, officials have linked the group to terrorist attacks in various corners of the world over the past 25 years — the vast majority targeting Israel. The State Department listed Hezbollah as a terrorist organization in the late 1990s and has characterized Iran as a leading state sponsor of terrorism largely on grounds that it supplies the group with weapons. But the full scope of Hezbollah’s operations has long been a subject of debate in Washington. The DEA’s recent claims followed years of speculation about Iranian activities in Latin America. Responding to pressure from Republican lawmakers, the State Department conducted a formal probe into the matter in 2013 and issued a report claiming that Iran was not supporting any active terrorist cells in the region. While the report said the number of Iranian officials operating in Latin America had increased, the report concluded Tehran had far less influence in Latin America than critics claimed. former officials like Mr. Braun, who retired as DEA chief of operations in 2008, say Hezbollah is extremely active in the region. President Obama signed the “Hizballah International Financing Prevention Act” last year, authorizing a range of actions, including sanctions, to block Hezbollah’s ability to fund itself. Emanuele Ottolenghi, a senior fellow on Iran and illicit finance with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told lawmakers at Wednesday’s hearing that Congress and the administration should use the law to “aggressively focus” on Hezbollah’s presence in Latin America. Brazilian connection Mr. Ottolenghi pointed to the group’s “vast network of support,” particularly in Brazil, which is home to some 7 million people of Lebanese descent, including an estimated 1 million Shiite Muslims. “Hezbollah generates loyalty among the local Shiite communities by managing their religious and educational structures,” Mr. Ottolenghi told the hearing. “It then leverages loyalty to solicit funds and use business connections to its own advantage, including, critically, to facilitate its interactions with organized crime.” He cited a 2014 report by the Brazilian newspaper O Globo that outlined a connection between Hezbollah and the Primeiro Comando da Capital, a Sao Paulo-based prison gang, which is widely regarded to be among the country’s biggest exporters of cocaine. “Drug cartels need middlemen, as well as commodity and service providers, for the supply line and delivery to cartels in Colombia, Venezuela and Central America,” Mr. Ottolenghi said. “They need assistance facilitating transit to West Africa before drugs cross the Sahara on their way to Western Europe and enabling the producers, refiners and cartels to launder their revenues and acquire the accessories for the trade in the process.”

Shock Report: FBI’s Facial Recognition Database Contains 90 Percent NON-CRIMINALS

By Matt Agorist

In 2014, the FBI announced their plans to launch a massive database containing 52 million images of faces, in order to keep tabs on Americans through a biometric facial recognition program known as Next Generation Identification (NGI). However, according to an exhaustive report by the federal Government Accountability Office (GAO), the program is far larger than they claimed, and ominous. According to the report, the system actually contains about 411 million photos, only 30 million of those are “civil and criminal mugshots.” The overwhelming majority of images in the FBI database are of innocent people. According to the GAO Report, as reported by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, FBI’s Facial Analysis, Comparison, and Evaluation (FACE) Services unit not only has access to FBI’s Next Generation Identification (NGI) face recognition database of nearly 30 million civil and criminal mug shot photos, but also has access to the State Department’s Visa and Passport databases, the Defense Department’s biometric database, and the drivers license databases of at least 16 states. Totaling 411.9 million images, this is an unprecedented number of photographs, most of which are of Americans and foreigners who have committed no crimes. These images, according to the report, were arbitrarily scooped up in a massive data collection and have nothing to do with national security or criminal behavior. The agency has done nothing to make sure innocent people are kept out of their search results, according to the report. As EFF notes, face recognition is notoriously inaccurate across the board and may also misidentify African Americans and ethnic minorities, young people, and women at higher rates than whites, older people, and men, respectively. Also, when the GAO pointed out that agencies contributing data to the program might have lower accuracy than the FBI, the Justice Department responded by saying, “there is value in searching all available external databases, regardless of their level of accuracy.” The FBI has been hiding this information from the public as well, in egregious violation of federal law and the FBI’s own policy. According to EFF, the GAO report criticized the FBI for rolling out these massive face recognition capabilities without ever explaining the privacy implications of its actions to the public. Federal law and Department of Justice policies require the FBI to complete a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) of all programs that collect data on Americans, both at the beginning of development and any time there’s significant change to the program. While the FBI produced a PIA in 2008, when it first started planning out the face recognition component of NGI, it didn’t update that PIA until late 2015—seven years later and well after it began making significant changes to the program. It also failed to produce a PIA for the FACE Services unit until May 2015—three years after FACE began supporting FBI with face recognition searches. As GAO notes, the whole point of PIAs is to give the public notice of the privacy implications of data collection programs and to ensure that privacy protections are built into the system from the start. The FBI failed at this. The FBI, in its reply to the GAO report, said the bureau “has established practices that protect privacy and civil liberties beyond the requirements of the law.” “The FBI fully recognizes that the automated nature of face recognition technology and the sheer number of photos now available for searching raise important privacy and civil liberties considerations. For that reason, the FBI has made privacy and civil liberties integral to every decision from the inception regarding its use of face recognition technology,” the bureau added. Apparently, keeping a massive database of facial images of innocent Americans to spy on them using hidden cameras for unknown reasons is “protecting privacy and civil liberties” if you are the FBI. Aside from being entirely unethical, illegal, and a death blow to privacy, the database is a glaring failure. As Ars Technica notes, the system “utterly failed in the Boston bombing manhunt.” It seems the U.S. government knows no limit as to how low they will go to ‘protect’ you from terrorism. The state’s tendency of problem, reaction, solution only serves to erode liberties while furthering the problem. If the U.S. truly had any interest whatsoever in preventing terrorism, they would stop creating it. Matt Agorist is the co-founder of TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared.

Mark Levin, anti-Trumper, praises Trump speech  

Tells radio audience 'he hit it out of the park'

Published: 6 hours ago

Mark Levin, one of conservatives’ largest radio voices – and one of Donald Trump’s biggest critics, who told listeners just a short time ago to consider him a “never Trump” Republican – nonetheless praised the billionaire’s most recent speech, saying his attacks on Hillary Clinton were politically savvy and superb. Levin first said parts of Trump’s speech – particularly the portion, as WND previously reported, where he reached out to Sen. Bernie Sanders supporters and told them to join him on the campaign trail – “really ticked me off.” But most of it was just what the party needed to hear, Levin went on. The ‘Stop Hillary’ campaign is on fire! Join the surging response to this theme: ‘Clinton for prosecution, not president’ “The Republican leadership in Congress doesn’t have the guts to go to the floor of the Senate or the floor of the House and make these charges,” Levin said, speaking of how Trump railed against Clinton and spoke in specifics about her acts of dishonesty and political deceptions, Breitbart reported. “This is outstanding. You can’t let Hillary Clinton get away with her corruption, her cronyism, her criminality. I don’t care who you support or don’t support. She’s detestable.” Levin then played more clips of Trump’s speech, and said: “He hit it out of the park.” Get the hottest, most important news stories on the Internet – delivered FREE to your inbox as soon as they break! Take just 30 seconds and sign up for WND’s Email News Alerts! Levin’s praise is somewhat surprising, given his very publicly stated distaste for Trump. In April, for example, Levin spoke of Trump’s connection to Roger Stone, a political strategist famous for his thorough opposition research, and said, the Hill reported: “I’m not voting for Donald Trump. Period … These bully, dirty tricks. Nixonian tactics, they’re only going to backfire. So count me as never Trump.” Also in April, Levin warned fellow conservatives Trump’s “taking you for a ride,” and that “you will be disappointed,” Real Clear Politics reported. And in May, Levin railed against Trump’s constitutional views, which he described as watery at best. As PJ Media reported, Levin said then: “We’re all supposed to rally around Donald Trump.

Meet Our Executioners - AI Disasters Prove Why Humanity Will Be Exterminated By Our Own Creations

June 22, 2016 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

Millions of people use Artificial Intelligence (AI) every single day and are not even aware of it, from "personal assistants" like Siri, Google Now and Cortana, to video games utilizing AI, banking, online customer support chat bots, and even some of the news articles being read are written by artificial intelligence programs. (More at Beebom and Wiki) While the aforementioned AI applications might get you "killed" in a video game, or cause you to miss an appointment none will actually cause physical harm, but recent examples of AI disasters prove without a doubt that machines, no matter how advanced their "Artificial Intelligence" is, learns from their surroundings, their interactions and are programmed by human beings, and as such, are dangerous in applications being researched now, such as "killer robots." Killer Robots are fully autonomous weapons, which can select and engage targets without human intervention. In fact just days ago the Daily Mail reported that humanity has just one year to ban them before they become a reality, despite warnings from top researchers such as Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates, warning of the dangers posed to humanity from AI. 40 countries, including the United States, are developing the tech to create killer robots, supposedly to be used in the battlefield, yet if we went to war with any of those countries, we have to ask would those same creations not be used against us? Aside from the killer robots, we can see in recent headlines just how dangerous a machine with learning capabilities can be if sent out into the general population. Today we see an article about the Promobot IR77, a robot capable of thinking for itself, but what programmers didn't factor in is that this thinking robot but think about escaping, which it managed to do, not one but twice! The Promobot IR77 has been fitted with artificial intelligence meaning that it learns from its experiences and its surroundings, although the programmers had not expected it to yearn for freedom. They say that despite reprogramming it twice, the robot continues to attempt to escape and they are now considering scrapping it. The other robots which have been created from the same series are well-behaved, and have not been escaping, say the team. Promobot IR77 made headlines last week when he escaped but ran out of battery in the middle of the street after 45 minutes in the city of Perm in central Russia's Perm Krai region. The expert said that they had programmed the robot to try and avoid obstacles, and it had not been intended that it would look for ways to leave the research centre. Anyone remember Tay, the Microsoft chat bot meant to mimic a millennial girl on social media? Many got a good laugh when within 24 hours of her release onto Twitter and other platforms, by interacting and learning from humans, she because a Nazi-loving, genocidal maniac. Within one day she went from "humans are super cool," to "I f**king hate feminists and they should all die and burn in hell," and "Hitler was right I hate Jews." Those are just a small sample of what Tay "learned."

Pound hits fresh 2016 highs as City traders bet on Remain - but banks warn result could paralyse markets

Pound hits fresh high but analysts warn traders are following the bookies

Britons dash for euros and dollars before going on holiday ahead of vote

Voting is underway amid torrential downpours and flooding overnight

In the City banks wrote to clients telling them to prepare for disruption

By Mark Shapland For This Is Money Published: 05:07 EST, 23 June 2016 | Updated: 11:57 EST, 23 June 2016

The pound hit fresh 2016 highs against the dollar and the euro today in a further sign that City traders remain convinced the Remain camp will eke out a win in the EU referendum. Sterling has continued its recent revival, after weeks on the slide amid fears over polls showing a strengthening Leave vote. It initially rose by 0.4 per cent to $1.49 today - a 6 per cent rise since this time last week - but gave back some gains to trade at $1.48 towards the end of the day. Against the euro the pound is worth more than €1.30, up from €1.26 a week ago. Meanwhile holidaymakers have been snapping up foreign currency - in what some have termed 'panic buying' - in anticipation of their summer holidays in Europe. Queues outside currency exchanges across the UK have mounted amid fears that a Brexit win tomorrow would lead to the pound crashing, leaving Britons across the Continent short changed. UKForex said it has witnessed a 100 per cent increase in consumers making transfers from sterling to euros in last 24 hours William Shepherd, of UKForex, 'If the UK opts to leave, the pound could fall as much as 20 per cent. Consumers could lose up to £1,398 on a £10,000 transfer, compared to today's rate.' The Post Office said overall currency sales in its branches and online were up 74 per cent since the weekend. Online, sales were up 381 per cent on the same day a year ago. Travelex said its online currency orders had increased by 30 per cent from June 14 to June 21. But it is not just holidaymakers worried about losing out in the face of a Brexit vote. In the City of London banks - including UBS, HSBC, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America Merrill Lynch - have written to clients telling them to prepare for disruption once the EU referendum result is declared. According to an article in the Times today, the banks said that they could not guarantee to 'make a market' by acting as intermediaries between buyers and sellers. If so, the Bank of England might have to step in to buy assets as a 'market maker of last resort', as it did in 2009. Voting got underway this morning amid torrential downpours as analysts said that currency traders have been using the bookies and polls to gauge the likely referendum result. A phone survey from ComRes for ITV gave the Remain camp 54 per cent of the vote compared to Leave's 46 per cent, while YouGov had victory at a much slimmer margin with just 51 per cent voting to Remain against Leave's 49 per cent. The last poll from IPSOS Mori put Remain in the lead with 52 per cent, while the Leave camp was at 48 per cent. At the same time a Remain vote is now 84 per cent on according to odds compiled by Betfair, compared to 22 per cent for Leave. Ladbrokes puts the chance of Brexit at only 27 per cent. FXTM chief market strategist Hussein Sayed said: 'The markets are being completely reliant on the predictions from the bookies, which strongly expect Remain to win the referendum.' He added: 'There is currently no real explanation to provide as to why city firms are confident on a remain outcome, although it does appear to me as if the correlation between the probability from bookmakers is what is being mirrored in the markets. 'The risk with this is that the market are currently discounting against the repeated indications from preliminary polls that have indicated again and again that the outcome should be close.' And worryingly the polls have also revealed that as many as 17 per cent of voters are still undecided about whether they will vote Remain or Leave and this has made many in the City nervous. Mic Mills, at Capital Index, said: 'To me it seems to be wishful thinking, there is a consensus I think that the 'undecided' vote will end up going with remain, but the markets are more confident than I am at the moment.' Craig Erlam at Oanda, cautioned: 'The problem now is that investors may be overconfident which could cause mayhem if the UK does in fact vote to leave.' Should the polls and bookies get it wrong, experienced financiers such as George Soros have predicted the pound will decline by as much as 15 per cent. Investment banks warned clients that low levels of liquidity could cause 'execution' problems on transactions, as well as making trading more expensive as market makers effectively increase their charges to reflect the higher levels of risk. UBS said: 'In the event that extreme market moves occur in an environment of limited liquidity, our principal spreads may widen . . . liquidity may reduce and prices may turn indicative [ie: non-tradable] for periods of time.' Yesterday UBS warned that a Brexit vote would send the London market into freefall, with the FTSE 100 plummeting to levels of between 4,900 and 5,500, while wiping off around £350billion in the process. In a separate note, the bank said: 'Following the risk-rally of the last few days, we believe there is significant room for downside in the event of a Leave vote. 'We estimate percentage moves in the mid-teens for UK and EU equities but materially smaller moves for the S&P 500 and EM equities. 'While the pound may come under significant pressure, the euro may be more stable. Risk currencies (Swiss Franc and Japanese Yen) would benefit, but policy responses could limit the degree of strength quickly.'

BREXIT PREDICTION: Globalists are going to steal the referendum with massive fraud... 'remain' will be declared the winner even if 'leave' wins the vote

Wednesday, June 22, 2016 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

(NaturalNews) Here at Natural News, we fully endorse the BREXIT vote to leave the European Union. (Heck, we even support #Texit for Texas independence!) Yet I predict that "remain" will be declared the winner for a simple, obvious reason: The globalist slave masters of the EU will not voluntarily allow the peasants escape to their control. Over the next day, we are going to witness the most extraordinary voting fraud ever pulled off in history as the globalist machine makes sure BREXIT fails. After all, they already murdered a member of Parliament (Jo Cox) to try to sway the votes... do you really think they won't commit ballot box fraud, too? Financial markets already know the vote has been rigged The financial markets across Europe have already factored in what they believe is a near-certain win for the "remain" vote, even though most real people on the street desperately want to leave the EU. What do the financial kingpins know that gives them this confidence? They know the vote results have already been rigged. The very last thing a dictatorial regime wants is to give the people any real chance to alter the future with their votes. Thus, the game being played in the UK and everywhere else around the world is to give the sheeple the ILLUSION of democracy while actually controlling the outcome of every election from the very start. If you think the EU globalists are going to stand by while an honest, democratic vote by the people takes away their power, you need to have your head examined. The only way a free, open vote is ever allowed to happen is if the controllers already know the outcome in advance (and have sufficiently manipulated the minds of the voters). Vote all you want, in other words... but the outcome is already pre-determined by the globalists in power. Who do you think runs the voting systems in the first place? Do you think they actually leave these things to chance? Not on your life. What happens after the BREXIT vote? The collapse of the EU happens anyway... it just takes a little longer The real question here is what happens after BREXIT fails and the UK remains in the EU. The correct answer is that it's all headed for a financial collapse and a popular revolt, almost certainly with lots of accompanying bloodshed and social chaos along the way. Eventually, the EU crumbles because the laws of economics demand it. UK citizens are right to try to leave the EU, in precisely the same way the passengers on the Titanic eventually started scrambling for the few remaining life boats. The EU is going down like a shattered vessel, and the last thing the globalists want us for free people to escape the doom and destruction that has been planned for them. To all our UK friends: Vote for BREXIT anyway Despite all this, I still say to all our friends in the UK: Vote for BREXIT! Even though the election is rigged, your vote makes it just a little bit harder for them to rig without getting caught. And if you don't vote, the globalists win anyway. So you can at least make your mark, vote for BREXIT, and then stand back and watch the magic of globalist fraud declare "remain" to be the winner. But at least you know you did something to try to change the course of history... at least you can now live with yourself as a UK citizen who did the right thing to try to save your own country.

Nourishing your body with superfoods including cilantro, mint and spinach helps ward off Alzheimer's disease and dementia

Thursday, June 23, 2016 by: J. D. Heyes

(NaturalNews) Millions of Americans are stricken with dementia and Alzheimer's, while millions more are concerned that they, too, may some day develop these conditions, which currently have no traditional medical cure. Fortunately a great deal of research on natural and alternative treatments that can either stave off or improve dementia has been conducted and continues to be undertaken, and what scientists are discovering is no less than amazing. For instance, simply improving your diet and adding key superfoods like blueberries and cilantro will dramatically improve your chances of keeping dementia at bay. But, as long as we feed our bodies with toxins and prepackaged foods and substances devoid of nutrition, our chances of getting dementia increase exponentially. Avoiding certain compounds and substances is also important in staving off dementia and Alzheimer's. Click now to register for the FREE online Alzheimer's and Dementia Summit Detoxification is key; adequately removing toxins like heavy metals requires the ingestion of certain superfoods. These include cilantro, chlorella, spinach, cabbage, asparagus, ginger root, mint, parsley, turmeric, sesame seeds, almonds and garlic, to name just a few. Mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic are very common heavy metals, and we are exposed to some or all of them nearly every day of our lives, and sometimes at every meal. From foods to household chemicals and other items, from our tap water to dental fillings in our mouths, 99 percent of all chronic diseases and illnesses come from a combination of a lack of clean eating and proper nutrition, and toxic pollutants that constantly have to be filtered out of our bodies by our various organs. Eventually, when toxic metal levels get high enough and are left untreated, they begin causing chronic illness. Our main organs that detoxify our bodies naturally are the liver, kidneys, lungs and skin. The superfoods mentioned above go a long way towards helping the body accomplish its detoxification tasks. These superfoods will draw the heavy metals out of your bloodstream and organs, soft tissues and muscles, and prevent free radicals from polluting your system, and triggering chronic health conditions (like dementia). These conditions are entirely preventable, if caught early enough, and we shouldn't allow the traditional medical system to feed us the lie that our conditions are mostly "genetic" and therefore irreversible. Consider, for instance, that around 15 million people are currently taking some form of statin drug. Per a recent entry in Truthwiki: "With the use of statins there is a GREATER RISK of coronary vessels developing obstructive coronary heart disease. Ironically, according to the FDA's own adverse event reporting system, at least 40 of every 10,000 statin reports are for interstitial lung disease. Statins prescribed to the elderly is causing a 9% increase in diabetes, early-onset cataracts and insulin resistance. Then it's the plaque–the calcified plaque and the coronary calcium–it continues regardless of statin treatment." How many people actually know that? How many healthcare providers actually know that? As for heavy metals and the development of Alzheimer's, TruthWiki also notes: "Western medicine doctors work hard to convince patients that nearly all disease, disorder and sickness is genetic, including Alzheimer's, somehow inherited from our parents and passed along to the children, so the doctors are "needed" for regular checkups, regular visits, and regular chronic, costly care. Most people believe anything and everything their doctors tell them, but the truth is very far from this regarding Alzheimer's disease–namely its root causes and the 'end results.' Plaques in the brain and hardened arteries can lead to Alzheimer's and strokes, but there is much more to the diagnoses and examinations of the brain and the pollutants that contribute to disorder and severe malfunction of cognition." You can read the entire entry here.

Ring Of Fire: Scientists Warnings & Maps Show A Chain Of Events Could Literally Bring Hell On Earth

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine June 22, 2016

According to a real-time map of earthquakes, created by Mapbox, using data collected from the USGS earthquake data feed, there have been 9,651 tremors detected in the last 30 days, 1,740 of them occurring in the last week and 176 in the last day. (Note these numbers change as each new tremor is recorded) A screen shot of the map shows why all eyes should be on the "Ring of Fire," which is "a major area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. In a 40,000 km (25,000 mi) horseshoe shape, it is associated with a nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and volcanic belts and/or plate movements. It has 452 volcanoes (more than 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes)," according to Wikipedia. The size of the areas shown in blue indicate the magnitudes of the tremors recorded, the bigger the blue area, the larger the magnitude. Via Mapbox blog: Check out the tight clusters of minor earthquakes in Alaska and California, and sparser but far more powerful shocks on the Ring of Fire’s western edge. With the recent FEMA Drill called Cascadia Rising, which practiced a simulated field response operation within their jurisdictions and with neighboring communities, state EOCs, FEMA, and major military commands to a scenario of a 9.0 magnitude earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) and the resulting tsunami, it once again highlighted the fact that the U.S. government is preparing for what scientists and researchers have warned is long overdue.... the big one. The Cascadia Rising 2016 page states "Recent subduction zone earthquakes around the world underscore the catastrophic impacts we will face when the next CSZ earthquake and tsunami occurs in our region," as they highlight the 2004 Indonesia event (9.1 mag EQ) with 228,000 fatalities, the 2010 EQ in Chile (8.8 mag) causing 500 fatalities and the 2011 Japan 9.0 EQ which caused 18,000 fatalities, not counting the global damage still being done from the subsequent Fukushima nuclear plant meltdowns. The Cascadia Subduction Zone is not the only area of concern though as a dire warning came out in early May, reported on by the LA Times, with a headline of "San Andreas fault 'locked, loaded and ready to roll' with big earthquake, expert says." The San Andreas fault is one of California’s most dangerous, and is the state’s longest fault. Yet for Southern California, the last big earthquake to strike the southern San Andreas was in 1857, when a magnitude 7.9 earthquake ruptured an astonishing 185 miles between Monterey County and the San Gabriel Mountains near Los Angeles. It has been quiet since then — too quiet, said Thomas Jordan, director of the Southern California Earthquake Center. "The springs on the San Andreas system have been wound very, very tight. And the southern San Andreas fault, in particular, looks like it’s locked, loaded and ready to go," Jordan said in the opening keynote talk. The key quote from that article states "Here’s the problem: Scientists have observed that based on the movement of tectonic plates, with the Pacific plate moving northwest of the North American plate, earthquakes should be relieving about 16 feet of accumulated plate movement every 100 years. Yet the San Andreas has not relieved stress that has been building up for more than a century." Two days ago it was reported that large-scale motion detected near San Andreas Fault system. Related: 'Seismic strain': Land around the San Andreas fault is rising and sinking, new earthquake research shows Now we see a prediction offered by scientists from the University of Hawaii at Mānoa of a "nine percent chance a magnitude 9 or larger earthquake will strike the Aleutian Islands in the next 50 years," reported by Extinction Protocol. What does Cascadia, Aleutian and San Andreas Fault have in common? They are all connected to the Ring of Fire, as shown by the USGS map shown below, obtained from Google images. While many focus on the predicted earthquakes and tsunamis and the devastation that would occur in areas completely unprepared for "the big one," we note the amount of volcanoes in the U.S. that scientists consider "active," with the AGI claiming that number is about 169, then linking to the USGS Volcano Activity Map, shown below. There are about 1500 potentially active volcanoes worldwide, aside from the continuous belt of volcanoes on the ocean floor. About 500 of these have erupted in historical time. Many of these are located along the Pacific Rim in what is known as the 'Ring of Fire.' In the U.S., volcanoes in the Cascade Range and Alaska (Aleutian volcanic chain) are part of the Ring, while Hawaiian volcanoes form over a 'hot spot' near the center of the Ring. Note that in mid-June it was reported that earthquakes in Ring of Fire triggered volcano affecting thousands near Manila in the Philippines after Mount Bulusan belched ash 1.2miles into the sky after 113 small earthquakes were recorded around it, with the UK Express reporting "The Ring of Fire is the most seismically-active place on earth and has been experiencing a high number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions since the spring." Related: Earth's rings of fire: Mountains ranges, volcanoes and trenches created by 15 tectonic plates revealed in stunning images BOTTOM LINE It is all connected, so when we see articles from MSM outlets highlighting warnings about Cascadia, or San Andreas or any other prediction of the "big one" hitting here or there, one must keep in mind that when it does hit it could set off a chain of events that literally brings hell on earth. This is also a major reason why folks should prepare. Consider the warnings from 2013 where Dr. Lucy Jones, a Science Advisor for Risk Reduction at the U.S. Geological Survey, warned Americans that is the "big one" should hit southern California we should "imagine America without Los Angeles," because the damage would cause food shortages to those in the affected area and beyond, natural gas lines used for cooking and heating would be cut, data lines would be severed, and "high-tech damage could hinder the recovery effort in the weeks and months after the earthquake." People should have a sufficient supplies of food, water, medical necessities and basics in order to survive being cut off from the rest of the country, not just for weeks, but possibly much longer. Those with the higher chance of survival in any disaster scenario will always be those the most prepared.

Mystery Object Outshines Entire Milky Way Galaxy by 50 Times --"We Don't Know What the Power Source Could Be" (Thursday's Most Popular) June 09, 2016

Astronomers were not entirely sure what it is. If, as they suspect, the gas ball is the result of a supernova, then it's the most powerful supernova ever seen. In June of 2015, astronomers viewed a ball of hot gas billions of light years away that is radiating the energy of hundreds of billions of suns. Even in a discipline that regularly uses gigantic numbers to express size or distance, the case of this small but powerful mystery object in the center of the gas ball is extreme. At its heart is an object a little larger than 10 miles across. ASAS-SN-15lh, as the object is known, was twice as luminous as any previously seen, far brighter than any normal supernova, and outshone our entire Milky Way galaxy by 50 times. The artist’s impression below shows what it would look like from an exoplanet 10,000 light-years away in its home galaxy. The team reported that the object at the center could be a very rare type of star called a magnetar--but one so powerful that it pushes the energy limits allowed by physics. An international team of professional and amateur astronomers spotted the possible supernova, now called ASASSN-15lh, when it first flared to life in June 2015. The gas ball surrounding the object can't be seen with the naked eye, because it's 3.8 billion light years away. But it was spotted by the All Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN, pronounced "assassin") collaboration. Led by Ohio State, the project uses a cadre of small telescopes around the world to detect bright objects in our local universe. Though ASAS-SN has discovered some 250 supernovae since the collaboration began in 2014, the explosion that powered ASASSN-15lh stands out for its sheer magnitude. It is 200 times more powerful than the average supernova, 570 billion times brighter than our sun, and 20 times brighter than all the stars in our Milky Way Galaxy combined. "We have to ask, how is that even possible?" said Krzysztof Stanek, professor of astronomy at Ohio State. "It takes a lot of energy to shine that bright, and that energy has to come from somewhere." "The honest answer is at this point that we do not know what could be the power source for ASASSN-15lh," said Subo Dong, lead author of the Science paper and a Youth Qianren Research Professor of astronomy at the Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics at Peking University. He added that the discovery "may lead to new thinking and new observations of the whole class of superluminous supernova." Todd Thompson, professor of astronomy at Ohio State, offered one possible explanation. The supernova could have spawned an extremely rare type of star called a millisecond magnetar, a rapidly spinning and very dense star with a very strong magnetic field. To shine so bright, this particular magnetar would also have to spin at least 1,000 times a second, and convert all that rotational energy to light with nearly 100 percent efficiency, Thompson explained. It would be the most extreme example of a magnetar that scientists believe to be physically possible. "Given those constraints," he said, "will we ever see anything more luminous than this? If it truly is a magnetar, then the answer is basically no." The Hubble Space Telescope will help settle the question later this year, in part because it will allow astronomers to see the host galaxy surrounding the object. If the team finds that the object lies in the very center of a large galaxy, then perhaps it's not a magnetar at all, and the gas around it is not evidence of a supernova, but instead some unusual nuclear activity around a supermassive black hole. If so, then its bright light could herald a completely new kind of event, said study co-author Christopher Kochanek, professor of astronomy at Ohio State and the Ohio Eminent Scholar in Observational Cosmology. It would be something never before seen in the center of a galaxy. The Daily Galaxy via Ohio State University Image Credit: NASA and Beijing Planetarium / Jin Ma

Iceland’s Hekla volcano “ready to blow”

A geophysics professor from the University of Iceland has warned people not to travel up Hekla volcano in South Iceland as it could erupt at any moment. As reported by Icelandic news website visir.is (link in Icelandic), Hekla erupted regularly ever ten years or so from 1970 to 2000 – but has now been silent for sixteen years. According to Professor Páll Einarsson, pressure readings within the famous volcano are now higher than before the last two previous eruptions – meaning it could blow with little warning. “Hekla is a dangerous volcano,” says Einarsson. “We could be looking at a major disaster when the next eruption begins if we are not careful.” MORE: 1980 Hekla eruption passenger jet near-miss “Hekla has become a very popular tourist destination. Nowadays, there are tourist groups on Hekla most of the summer,” Einarsson explain in the visir.is article. “There are also 20-30 planes full of passengers flying right over the top of Hekla every day,” he warns. “This is a risky moment which we need to take seriously.” New measurements have shown that Hekla has been gathering magma and internal pressure is higher than before the last two previous eruptions. “Hekla is ready – at any moment,” Einarsson concludes.

'ACCORDING TO THE MUSLIM FAITH, IF SOMEONE TRIES TO APOSTATE, HE OR SHE COULD BE KILLED'

June 21, 2016

Islamic apologists in the West, both Muslim and non-Muslim, routinely deny that Islam has a death penalty for those who leave Islam. They also deny that Islam allows for child marriage. How is it that so many Muslims in Pakistan have misunderstood their own faith? Says the local police chief in the article below: “The Muslims living in the area said nobody is allowed to go back to his or her old religion after embracing Islam. According to the Muslim faith, if someone tries to apostate, he or she could be killed.” And later on, the Washington Post informs us that Pakistan is “a country with no law against child marriage.” Apostasy: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89) A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence. This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent Muslim cleric in the world, has stated: “The Muslim jurists are unanimous that apostates must be punished, yet they differ as to determining the kind of punishment to be inflicted upon them. The majority of them, including the four main schools of jurisprudence (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali) as well as the other four schools of jurisprudence (the four Shiite schools of Az-Zaidiyyah, Al-Ithna-‘ashriyyah, Al-Ja’fariyyah, and Az-Zaheriyyah) agree that apostates must be executed.” Qaradawi also once famously said: “If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment, Islam wouldn’t exist today.”

Spending it all on rent: 11 million Americans spend half their income on rent. Another 21 million spend over 30 percent of their income on rent, a record high.

Posted by mybudget360 in income, real estate

The financial raiding of the American middle class is moving full steam ahead. The ridiculous structure of the banking bailouts and artificially low interest rates caused hot money from banks and big investors to crowd out regular families in the housing market. Now here we are 7 years after the official conclusion of the Great Recession and regular American families are financially struggling while banks and big investors thrive. Today 11 million Americans spend half of their income on rent. Another 21.3 million spent over 30 percent of their income on rent. With millions of properties being bought by investors since the Great Recession hit, all that has happened is a mega transfer of wealth. You don’t build equity by renting but many people are simply priced out from buying a home. The great bailout scam Most Americans have a hard time saving money. This is why housing has been a big plus in the net worth column for many households for more than a generation. This is seen as a forced savings mechanism. Yet the homeownership rate is at a generational low and we have a record percentage of families now renting building no equity. And the problem in big cities is even more pronounced. Here is a map showing how much you need to earn to afford a regular two-bedroom apartment: So it should come as no surprise that many young Americans stuck in low wage jobs are unable to rent a place and end up living with parents or roommates. Others simply spend a wild amount of their income on rent. In the past, this would be the prime age to buy but that is not happening. Unfortunately there are two big issues here: -1. There is a lost decade in homeownership growth. Meaning many people missed out on building equity. -2. Banks and investors continue to hoard homes causing an abnormal distortion to the market. This is manipulated because the Fed is forcibly keeping interest rates low. The end result was that investors dove into housing chasing yields in rental properties, a segment of the market that was largely left to mom and pop investors in the past. The amount of buying over the last decade was a new trend especially with big money flowing in – even though returns are low with zero percent interest rates, banks and big investors had little risk in loading up on rental properties. And rents continue to go up while incomes went stagnant: Rents are going up faster than wages and are far outpacing the overall inflation rate. So it is no surprise then that a record number of Americans are spending half of their money on rent. This makes it less likely that they are consuming on other goods or also saving for their own retirement. All it means is more money is being siphoned off to banks and investors. This is largely shuffling digital money around but Americans are now understanding who really has the power in this country. Large financial institutions are dictating how things play out even if it means things are worse off financially for regular working families.

There Are Now More Bureaucrats With Guns Than U.S. Marines

Report: Non-military federal agencies spend $1.48 billion on guns and ammo since 2006

BY: Elizabeth Harrington June 22, 2016 3:20 pm

There are now more non-military government employees who carry guns than there are U.S. Marines, according to a new report. Open the Books, a taxpayer watchdog group, released a study Wednesday that finds domestic government agencies continue to grow their stockpiles of military-style weapons, as Democrats sat on the House floor calling for more restrictions on what guns American citizens can buy. The “Militarization of America” report found civilian agencies spent $1.48 billion on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment between 2006 and 2014. Examples include IRS agents with AR-15s, and EPA bureaucrats wearing camouflage. “Regulatory enforcement within administrative agencies now carries the might of military-style equipment and weapons,” Open the Books said. “For example, the Food and Drug Administration includes 183 armed ‘special agents,’ a 50 percent increase over the ten years from 1998-2008. At Health and Human Services (HHS), ‘Special Office of Inspector General Agents’ are now trained with sophisticated weaponry by the same contractors who train our military special forces troops.” Open the Books found there are now over 200,000 non-military federal officers with arrest and firearm authority, surpassing the 182,100 personnel who are actively serving in the U.S. Marines Corps. The IRS spent nearly $11 million on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment for its 2,316 special agents. The tax collecting agency has billed taxpayers for pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns, semi-automatic Smith & Wesson M&P15s, and Heckler & Koch H&K 416 rifles, which can be loaded with 30-round magazines. The EPA spent $3.1 million on guns, ammo, and equipment, including drones, night vision, “camouflage and other deceptive equipment,” and body armor. When asked about the spending, and EPA spokesman said the report “cherry picks information and falsely misrepresents the work of two administrations whose job is to protect public health.” “Many purchases were mischaracterized or blown out of proportion in the report,” said spokesman Nick Conger. “EPA’s criminal enforcement program has not purchased unmanned aircraft, and the assertions that military-grade weapons are part of its work are false.” “EPA’s criminal enforcement program investigates and prosecutes the most egregious violators of our nation’s environmental laws, and EPA criminal enforcement agents are law enforcement professionals who have undergone the same rigorous training as other federal agents,” Conger continued. Other administration agencies that have purchased guns and ammo include the Small Business Administration, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Department of Education, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The report also highlighted that the Department of Health and Human Services has “special agents” with “sophisticated military-style weapons.” Open the Books also found $42 million in gun and ammunition purchases that were incorrectly coded. “Some purchases were actually for ping-pong balls, gym equipment, bread, copiers, cotton balls, or cable television including a line item from the Coast Guard entered as ‘Cable Dude,’” the report said. Open the Books appealed to both liberals like Bernie Sanders—who has called for demilitarizing local police departments—and conservatives in its report. “Conservatives argue that it is hypocritical for political leaders to undermine the Second Amendment while simultaneously equipping non-military agencies with hollow-point bullets and military style equipment,” Open the Books said. “One could argue the federal government itself has become a gun show that never adjourns with dozens of agencies continually shopping for new firearms.” Update June 23, 10:15 a.m.: Following publication of this article, Adam Andrzejewski, the CEO of Open the Books who wrote the report, pushed back against the EPA’s statement, and provided contract data to back up his claims. “How can the EPA spokesperson deny hard facts from their own checkbook?” he said. “Alongside our oversight report, OpenTheBooks.com also released a PDF of all raw data. This line-by-line transactional record from the EPA’s own checkbook on page 113 clearly shows that in 2013 and 2014 the EPA purchased tens of thousands of dollars of ‘Unmanned Aircraft’ from Bergen RC Helicopters Inc which on a net basis amounted to approximately $34,000.” “All of the assertions in our oversight report are the quantification of actual spending records produced and reported to us by the federal agencies themselves,” Andrzejewski said.

North Korea's Musudan Missile Test Actually Succeeded. What Now?

North Korea claims its sixth Musudan missile test this year was a success. Why does that matter?

By Ankit Panda June 23, 2016

Yesterday, North Korea launched two liquid-fueled Musudan (Hwasong-10) intermediate-range ballistic missiles. As I wrote then, the tests marked the fifth and sixth test launches of the missile this year. Testing began in mid-April, to coincide with the birth anniversary of Kim Il-sung, North Korea’s founder and grandfather to current leader Kim Jong-un. Sadly for Kim, all four tests prior to yesterday had failed either at launch or shortly after launch. (The Diplomat‘s John Power has a good round-up of the most recent tests at our Koreas channel.) Tests one through four failed, and yesterday, the first test (test launch five) also failed, though it flew further than the previous tests. It turns out that the sixth and final Musudan tested to date actually demonstrated results suggesting a high degree of success. Japan’s Defense Minister Gen Nakatani noted an apogee of around 1,000 kilometers for the missile. The sixth Musudan also covered the most surface distance, traveling 400 kilometers from its launch site near the North Korean city of Wonsan, on the country’s eastern coast overlooking the Sea of Japan. (Incidentally, the first missile fired yesterday also flew 150 kilometers, a significant upgrade over the previous launches in April and May.) The 1,000 kilometer apogee means that the missile made it into the Earth’s exosphere. Long-range ballistic missiles work by essentially hurling their payload high into the earth’s atmosphere, using a ballistic trajectory to reach their target, letting gravity and air resistance do most of the work in the reentry and terminal phases. A Musudan at 1,000 kilometers is a worrisome milestone, particularly if Pyongyang is able to mount its new compact nuclear devices on board the missile. The 400 kilometer range, meanwhile, shouldn’t deceive you; North Korea likely intended for the missile to fly at a steeper angle than would be ideal for it to reach its maximum range of 3,500 kilometers. (Pyongyang took care to make sure that the missile didn’t splash down within Japan’s air defense identification zone, as well.) Enjoying this article? Click here to subscribe for full access. Just $5 a month. Indeed, early on Thursday, a day after the Musudan test launches, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was reported to have said that the test was a full success and, critically, underlined that Pyongyang now had attained “the sure capability to attack” U.S. targets in the “Pacific operation theater,” most likely referring to Guam but also other regional U.S. bases. The definition of success in missile testing can be somewhat subjective; North Korea gets to decide the parameters it was looking to accomplish and it looks like Kim Jong-un is satisfied with the 1,000 kilometer apogee and the 400 kilometer range accomplishments. (Obvious failed tests meanwhile are easy to spot, particularly when a missile blows itself and its launcher up on or immediately after launch.) Kim Jong-un’s Thursday statement also helps explain why we’ve seen a particularly unusual spate of Musudan testing this spring. North Korea watchers have speculated that the repeated and rushed testing could have been due to Kim Jong-un needing to demonstrate, in line with his byungjin ambitions (more on that here), that he possessed a credible strike platform capable of hitting the U.S. territory of Guam. North Korea’s KN-08 and new KN-14 intercontinental ballistic missiles, which may be capable of striking most of the continental United States if developed successfully, remain in development and have yet to be test-fired. Jeffrey Lewis, a North Korea watcher and nonproliferation expert at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, notes that “If we do nothing, this ends in a successful flight test of the Musudan-based KN-08 (ICBM).” This test should be a reminder for policymakers in the United States and certainly in the region that North Korea continues to make steady progress on a range of platforms that bring Kim Jong-un closer to realizing the nuclear leg of byungjin, threatening regional peace and security. It’s far from obvious where Pyongyang goes from here. Kim Jong-un’s statement on Thursday suggests that the signaling value of the Musudan tests has been accomplished and, with a limited inventory of missiles remaining, Pyongyang may choose to hold off on further testing. Conversely, it could continue testing to protest international isolation and sanctions. The nightmare scenario is the possibility of Pyongyang using the know-how its gained with its Musudan testing to eventually conduct a flight test its KN-08 ICBM, with a possible atmospheric nuclear detonation to remove any doubts about miniaturization. However, amid attempts at an uneasy rapprochement with Beijing and even a willingness to enter a track 1.5 dialogue with regional and U.S. diplomats this week, Pyongyang may choose to tamp down its spate of testing somewhat and claim that its long-sought goal of credibly being able to threaten Guam with a nuclear strike has been achieved. With the country under economic stress from sanctions and under increased agricultural stress precipitating a famine, Kim has plenty of reason to turn his attention to the economic leg of byungjin.

The Supreme Court Just Created a Full-Blown Police State – The End of the USA Cannot Be Far Behind

Posted Jun 21, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

The Supreme Court ruling in Utah v Strieff awarded the police total freedom to stop any citizen, at any time, to do whatever they desire. The Supreme Court determined that the “poisonous fruit” of a police officer’s stop of a citizen can be used against them at trial. This has wiped out, in reality, any constitutional protection you thought you had. This is a sad day for the United States, for the Supreme Court has officially created a full-blown police state and clearly has no intention of honoring why this nation began the entire American Revolution — to prevent illegal searches that allowed the king to look for anything he could use to prosecute citizens. The Supreme Court ruled that even though the officer had initially violated a person’s rights (in other words, the Constitution) the officer’s conduct was “at most negligent” and the result of “good-faith mistakes.” This language is a wink and nod to the police who only have to claim they made a mistake that was not intentional and they walk free. We have witnessed police outrageously murder citizens, but the police officers involved are usually not charged. Now, with this decision, the United States has become exactly as Ukraine stood before the people revolted. A friend of mine from Ukraine came to the states before the last revolution. When they would see a police officer, they would tense up and try to avoid them at all costs. At home, the police were the criminals. They would shake you down, abuse you, and there was simply no rule of law. The Supreme Court, as of yesterday, has committed suicide. In February 1761, James Otis, Jr. (1725–1783) argued brilliantly against the Writs of Assistance that was authorized in 1660 but became an instrument of tyranny in 1758 in the American colonies as a means to raise taxes. For nearly five hours, Otis made a brilliant oration in court against the Writs, but he lost the case, for what judge would ever rule against his master? John Adams later wrote that “the child independence was then and there born, [for] every man of an immense crowded audience appeared to me to go away as I did, ready to take arms against writs of assistance.” This spirit of resistance appears to rise roughly every 51.6 years, albeit at different intensity. This very power to arbitrarily search anyone sparked the American Revolution. No taxation without representation followed, but the inspiration was the right to be free and the Supreme Court just took away. The police no longer have restraint. This is the final stage of how empires, nations, and city-states collapse when there is no rule of law. Once the state elevates itself above the people, the end is not far behind. The dissenting words of Justice Sonia Sotomayor reflect the dire state to which the United States has degenerated. Scalia would have joined Justice Sotomayor on this one, and if he were still alive, he would have tipped the scale and protected our liberty. With Scalia gone, who was a strict constructionist, there is little hope left in the Supreme Court. Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote, “Even if you are innocent, you will now join the 65 million Americans with an arrest record and experience the ‘civil death’ of discrimination by employers, landlords, and whoever else conducts a background check.” She concluded, and I must agree: By legitimizing the conduct that produces this double consciousness, this case tells everyone, white and black, guilty and innocent, that an officer can verify your legal status at any time. It says that your body is subject to invasion while courts excuse the violation of your rights. It implies that you are not a citizen of a democracy but the subject of a carceral state, just waiting to be cataloged. We must not pretend that the countless people who are routinely targeted by police are “isolated.” They are the canaries in the coal mine whose deaths, civil and literal, warn us that no one can breathe in this atmosphere. They are the ones who recognize that unlawful police stops corrode all our civil liberties and threaten all our lives. Until their voices matter too, our justice system will continue to be anything but.

'No Fly, No Buy' Means No Freedom

By Andrew P. Napolitano June 23, 2016

The people in the government who want to control our personal choices are the enemies of freedom. And the enemies of freedom can be very clever and seductive. Last week, these folks, manifesting their lust to keep us dependent upon the government by rejecting the natural right to self-defense, coined a clever phrase: “No fly, no buy.” It sounds rational, yet it rejects core American values. The phrase was pounded home to average Americans during a one-sided 15-hour televised marathon on the floor of the Senate orchestrated by the gun control crowd. The essence of the argument was that stricter laws regarding gun sales would have prevented the massacre at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. In gun control advocates’ dream world, the self-loathing Islamic State-inspired killer, willing to take 49 innocent lives, would somehow have been unwilling to violate restrictive gun purchase laws; and his obedience to those laws would have saved lives. Their argument is naive and absurd. A person willing to commit mass murder is surely willing to break the law to acquire the means to commit the murders. So blinded were these senators in their misguided utterances about self-defense that they forgot about the Constitution. Myths, Misunderstandings and Outright lies about owning Gold. Are you at risk? The legislation they offered would have required that people whose names the feds put on a terror watchlist or a no-fly list (these are often done simultaneously) would not be legally able to purchase a gun. The senators summarized this idea dozens of times as “no fly, no buy.”Though this phrase, which was quickly picked up by many of my colleagues in the media, has an easy and simplistic ring to it, it reveals a troubling ideology that profoundly rejects core American values. When Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights and when the inalienability of our rights was codified in the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, the United States was wedded to the Judeo-Christian principle that our rights stem from our humanity. This was expressly recognized recently by the Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller, in which it held that the right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental personal right, not a gift of the government to a group. A fundamental personal right is the natural ability of individuals to make meaningful choices without a government permission slip. May the government ever interfere with fundamental rights? The short answer is yes. The longer answer is that it can only do so if it can demonstrate a compelling governmental interest — served by the least restrictive means, and only after due process. Stated differently, if the government wants to silence your speech or deny you the right to self-defense, it must meet a very high burden in a public courtroom. It must demonstrate to a judge and jury that its need to silence or disarm you is compelling, and its goals may not be attained by any lesser means. Americans need not demonstrate a compelling need to speak or bear arms; the government must demonstrate a compelling need to prevent us from doing so. That is what lawyers call black letter law — meaning it is well-established, followed throughout the land and rarely challenged. Until now. Earlier this week in the Senate, the gun control crowd sought to give nameless and faceless federal bureaucrats the ability to strip Americans of their right to keep and bear arms by putting their names on a terror watchlist/no-fly list and prohibiting those on the list from buying guns. Yet none of these senators could state the criteria for putting a name on that list, and none could identify the people who prepare or keep the list. That’s because these are well-guarded government secrets — secrets that have no place in American life. If a government bureaucrat can put your name on a secret list on the bureaucrat’s own whim or even using secret standards and, as a result, you have lost a fundamental liberty, then the feds have transformed a natural right into a governmental gift. If the feds can create a no-fly list in secret and “no fly” comes to mean “no buy,” then we have no rights but what the government will permit us to do. As if to underscore his ignorance of American values, one of the senators even stated that due process is killing us. He must have forgotten his oath to uphold the Constitution, which guarantees that the government may not take life, liberty or property without due process. Due process — the absolute right to know the law and to force the government to prove a violation of it to a jury before it can take life, liberty or property — is the essence of the rights of free people. It is utterly scandalous — and probably disqualifying from office — that a senator could bemoan its existence. Can you see how low we have sunk? The gun control crowd doesn’t care about personal liberty in a free society; it just cares about control. It wants us all to be pliant and reliant on a government that it controls; never mind that it is utterly incapable of protecting us from crazies who will resort to mass death for their own deranged purposes. If the government secretly can put an American’s name on a secret list and, as a result, his liberty is lost, then there are no freedoms — just government-granted privileges. And if it can do this to the natural rights to travel and self-defense, can other fundamental rights be far behind?

US general warns Russia could OVERWHELM eastern Europe in just 36 hours as Putin blames Nato's 'aggressive actions' for building up his country's military forces

The warning came from the commander of US ground forces in Europe

Gen Ben Hodges said Russia could conquer Baltic capitals in 36 hours

Heavy military equipment could not be moved fast enough, he warned

Russia is creating new divisions along its southwest regions

By Ted Thornhill for MailOnline Published: 09:18 EST, 22 June 2016 | Updated: 15:54 EST, 22 June 2016

Nato would currently be unable to protect the Baltics against a Russian attack, the commander of US ground forces in Europe, General Ben Hodges, said in a news report Wednesday. 'Russia could take over the Baltic states faster than we would be able to defend them,' Hodges was quoted as saying in a German-language article by news weekly Die Zeit. His comments came as Putin slammed Nato for ratcheting up its rhetoric and its 'aggressive actions' close to Russia's border, warning it was forcing Moscow to increase its military capacity. General Hodges had said he agreed with an assessment by military analysts that says Russian forces could conquer the capitals of Baltic states Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia within 36 to 60 hours. Hodges also said Nato forces had found numerous deficiencies during the recent 'Anaconda' military exercise in Poland, according to the article from Thursday's edition of Die Zeit released early to AFP. Heavy military equipment could not be moved fast enough from western to eastern Europe, he said, while also voicing concern about the alliance's communication technology. 'Neither radio communication nor email are secure,' he was quoted as saying. 'I assume that everything I write on my BlackBerry is being monitored.' The Anaconda manoeuvre included troops from more than 20 Nato member states but was officially a Polish national exercise. Hodges told Die Zeit that 'some countries, like France and Germany, thought it would be too provocative toward Russia to call it a Nato exercise'. Putin's remarks about Nato aggression came on the 75th anniversary of the invasion of the USSR by Nazi Germany. 'Nato is stepping up its aggressive rhetoric and its aggressive actions close to our borders,' Putin told lawmakers. 'In these conditions, we are obliged to dedicate special attention to resolving tasks connected with heightening the defence capabilities of our country.' Putin also accused the West of rejecting Russian overtures to help tackle the common foe of 'international terrorism' - as it once ignored the Soviet Union's warnings about Hitler - as it seeks to isolate Moscow over the Ukraine crisis. 'Once again, as it was on the eve of World War II, (we) are not seeing a positive response,' Putin said. Relations between Russia and the West have slumped to their lowest point since the Cold War over Moscow's 2014 annexation of Crimea from Ukraine and its alleged masterminding of a separatist uprising. Russian aircraft have also increased tensions recently by launching a series of provocative intercepts of Nato, Swedish and other aircraft. Nato announced last week that it would deploy four battalions to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland to counter a more assertive Russia, ahead of a landmark summit in Warsaw on July 8-9. All four countries were once ruled from Moscow and remain deeply suspicious of Russian intentions, especially after Russia's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. Russia bitterly opposes Nato's expansion into its Soviet-era satellites and last month said it would create three new divisions in its southwest region to meet what it described as a dangerous military build-up along its borders.

EXCLUSIVE: Donald Rumsfeld says he'll vote for Trump – 'It's not a close call!' – as 9/11-era defense secretary says Hillary Clinton 'would probably be indicted' over emails if she were a soldier or sailor

Rumsfeld tells DailyMail.com that he will vote for the Republicans' presumptive nominee because he's a 'known unknown' and Hillary Clinton is a 'known known'

9/11-era defense secretary is one of the most senior Republican figures to come out publicly for Trump

He says Hillary Clinton isn't qualified to sit in the Oval Office, and 'would probably be indicted' over her emails if she were a junior military grunt

Trump launched an all-out attack on Hillary Clinton on Wednesday at a speech in New York in which he lambasted her as a 'world-class liar'

Rumsfeld spoke in an interview while promoting his Android 'Churchill Solitaire' app, which recreates Winston Churchill's favorite card game

By David Martosko, U.s. Political Editor For Dailymail.com Published: 16:30 EST, 22 June 2016 | Updated: 10:50 EST, 23 June 2016

Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said Wednesday that he will support Donald Trump with his vote in November. The declaration, which Rumsfeld made in an interview with DailyMail.com, makes him the highest-ranking member of the George W. Bush administration to back the Republican Party's presumptive nominee. It's 'not a close call,' he said in a 25-minute phone interview. Rumsfeld said he agrees in principle with Trump's position on reforming the NATO alliance, keeping Syrian refugees at bay over fears of terrorist infiltration, and other issues. And besides, he added, 'I'm a Republican, and there's not any doubt in my mind how I'll vote,' and 'I don't believe Hillary Clinton is qualified to be President of the United States.' 'I am incredibly grateful for the support of Secretary Rumsfeld, and I am very honored he supports my stances on NATO, the need to defeat ISIS and stop immigration of Syrian refugees,' Trump told DailyMail.com in a statement. Bush, the 43rd president, has given no indication that he will back Trump, who bounced his younger brother Jeb from a vicious GOP primary process this year. The former president has indicated that he won't attend July's Republican National Convention in Cleveland, an event already being talked about as 'The Trump Show' inside party circles. Colin Powell, the Bush-era secretary of state, has been openly hostile to Trump over his immigration positions. 'Let's tell all the immigrants working in Trump hotels to stay home tomorrow. See what happens,' he told the Washington Ideas Forum last October. Rumsfeld said Powell's opposition to his party's standard bearer is unsurprising. 'He supported Obama, Colin did! That's nothing new,' he said. Rumsfeld spoke with DailyMail.com as part of a media tour aimed at promoting the release of his 'Churchill Solitaire' app on the Android platform. The iPhone version has been downloaded more than 650,000 times and represents Winston Churchill's favorite version of the play-alone card game. Rumsfeld said he learned the game in 1973 from André de Staercke, a Belgian NATO diplomat, who learned it 30 years earlier from Churchill himself. 'I was afraid it would be lost to the ages,' he said Wednesday, while admitting the technology mystified him at first. 'I didn't even know what an app was!' he marveled. 'Don't tell anyone.' An animated Rumsfeld, 83, was even more eager to talk about the Trump phenomenon, saying that a year ago 'you could count on one hand' the number of people who thought he would be the GOP nominee. While the former defense secretary said he and Trump have never met, he agrees with the real estate tycoon about what Trump calls the potential for a 'Trojan horse' infiltration of terrorists among the Syrian refugees whom the Obama administration has been resettling in the U.S. 'He's absolutely right,' he said. 'Anyone who thinks the radical Islamists are not going to try to utilize every venue they can find to infiltrate in the United States, and in western European countries, to achieve their goals – these people just don't get it.' 'They've announced what they're going to do,' he said of the ISIS terror army. On the refugee crisis and the need for a NATO reboot, Rumsfeld said he has arrived at a Trump-aligned position through a different line of argument. 'We've got an enormous obligation' to help fleeing Syrians, he said, 'and the United Nations is so incompetent and inept and unhelpful ... this refugee problem is the most heartbreaking thing in the world.' But instead of politicizing the issue and moving the refugees halfway around the world, he said, the U.S. should be mobilizing regional powers to give them somewhere to flee to. 'We've got an obligation to provide safe zones for them,' he said. 'We've got to be proactive rather than arguing whether we should have 1000 or 2000 or 3000' in the United States. 'How is what I've said different from what he's said?' he asked, referring to Trump – whose position is nearly identical but contains an extra layer of terrorism rhetoric. 'The way he said it got him the Republican nomination for president. The way I said it makes people's eyes glaze over' but is 'less concerning to some people. ''The only real difference is [that] one is striking a nerve.' Trump's immigration policy and his own views, he said, similarly arrive at the same end but form different starting points. Most immigrants, he said, don't 'want to impose a different system on us.' But 'countries ought to be able to maintain their values' in the face of immigrant populations that don't want to assimilate. On NATO, Rumsfeld emphasized that most media reports of Trump's stated goals have been inaccurate. 'People have played very fast and loose,' he said. 'What he actually said was different from the characterizations that followed.' Rumsfeld, once America's NATO ambassador himself, agreed with Trump that the internal compass of the organization needs an overhaul, proclaiming the presumptive nominee's position is 'not far from what I wrote ... to President Bush 13 or 14 years ago.' NATO, he said, was 'fashioned during the Truman administration, and they do need to be updated for the 21st century and the information age.' Hillary Clinton has pounced on popularized but inaccurate versions of Trump's NATO pronouncements, saying he would withdraw the U.S. from the alliance entirely. Rumsfeld framed the choice between Clinton and Trump in terms political historians will find familiar, relying on the words he used in 2002 to describe questions about the U.S. intelligence community's ability to spot weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. 'Mrs. Clinton is a known known. Donald Trump is a known unknown who's a recent entry into the equation,' he said, attributing the insight to his wife. 'And I am a lot more comfortable with a known unknown, who I will support, than with a known known who is unacceptable.' 'I couldn't support Mrs. Clinton,' he emphasized. 'What she has done with classified information I think is inexcusable and puts at risk people's lives [and] not just ours.' Clinton is facing an FBI investigation concerning classified material found among emails she housed on a homebrew private server while she ran the State Department. 'I personally believe that if she were a sergeant in the Army or a yeoman in the Navy, she'd probably be indicted,' he said. 'It's just inexcusable. You just can't do that!' The impact of Clinton's data security practices will be far-reaching, Rumsfeld predicted. 'Other countries will be less likely to share information with us,' he said, now that it's clear the U.S. government can't maintain the secrecy it once boasted as a core competency. And the potential for hacking, he said, means state secrets are falling 'into the hands of the other side,' which 'tells them that we had the information, which means they can figure out how we got it and stop us from getting more ... and even compromise the people who gave it to us or allow us to get it.' Rumsfeld also took issue with Clinton's statements to family members of U.S. personnel killed in a 2012 terror attack on a diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya. Those next of kin have said Clinton blamed their loved ones' deaths on an anti-Islam YouTube video, rather than identifying the carnage as the result of a jihadi attack. Her emails at the time show that she conceded the truth to her daughter and to foreign leaders. 'When Mrs. Clinton said to those people, the parents of the people killed, that it was the video, when she knew completely, certainly, that it wasn't' – he said, suddenly falling silent. 'I mean, I'm very uncomfortable with someone like that,' he concluded.

Paul Craig Roberts Just Exposed The Terrifying Reason Why The Elites Had To Stop Brexit At All Costs

June 22, 2016

Former U.S. Treasury Secretary, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, just exposed the terrifying reason why the elites had to stop Brexit at all costs. (King World News) Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: “If you read the presstitute media, Brexit—the referendum tomorrow on the UK’s exit from the EU— is about racism. According to the story line, angry rightwing racists of violent inclinations want to leave the EU to avoid having to accept more dark-skinned immigrants into England… Continue reading the Dr. Paul Craig Roberts piece below… Despite the constant propaganda against exit, polls indicated that more favored leaving the EU than remaining until a female member of Parliament, Jo Cox, was killed by a man that a witness said shouted “Brexit.” Cox was an opponent of leaving the EU. Cox’s Murder Used To Drive The Propaganda The UK government and presstitute media used Cox’s murder to drive home the propaganda that violent racists were behind Brexit. However, other witnesses gave a different report. The Guardian, which led with the propaganda line, did report later in its account that “Other witnesses said the attack was launched after the MP became involved in an altercation involving two men near where she held her weekly surgery.” Of course, we will never know, because Cox’s murder is too valuable of a weapon against Brexit. There is no doubt that many in the UK are disturbed at the transformation of their country. One doesn’t have to be a racist to feel that one’s country is being stolen from them by people of alien cultures. The British have a long history of fighting off invaders, and many believe they are experiencing an invasion, although not an armed one. An armed one, of course, would not have the government’s and media’s support. When British people hear pundits pronounce that immigrants contribute more to the UK than they absorb in social payments, what they hear is inconsistent with their experience. Moreover, many British are tired of having to avoid entire sections of their cities, including London, because of safety concerns. The U.K. Being Led Down The Rabbit Hole Of Its Own Destruction It is a propaganda choice to call these concerns racism rather than cultural defense, and the UK political establishment has made that propaganda choice. Little wonder so many British citizens no longer believe that the British Establishment represents Britain. But let’s give the propagandists the benefit of the doubt and for sake of argument assume that Brexit is about racism. What is the opposition to Brexit really about? Most certainly it is not about helping the refugees from Washington’s wars that the UK government has enabled. If the British establishment cared so much for the Muslims seeking refuge from America’s invasions, bombs, and drones, the British establishment would not have supported Washington’s attacks on these people. Opposition to Brexit is based on two powerful interests of Washington. The End Of London As A Financial Center? One is the interests of the New York banks and Wall Street to eliminate the UK as a financial center competitor. This blatant fact has escaped the notice of the City and the Bank of England. The British have forgotten that they only have one foot in the EU, because the UK was permitted to keep its own currency. The UK does not use the euro and, thus, retains the power to finance the British government. Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, etc., do not have this capability. They are dependent on private banks for financing. In order to trick the UK into joining the EU, the British were given special privileges. However, these privileges cannot last forever. The EU process is one of political integration. As I reported years ago, Jean-Claude Trichet, at that time the president of the European Central Bank, said that to complete the political integration of Europe, the fiscal policies of member states would be centralized. It is impossible to centralize fiscal policies if the UK is an independent financial center with its own central bank and currency. Why The Elites Had To Stop Brexit At All Costs Wall Street understands that the defeat of Brexit means a shortened lifespan for London as a financial center, as it is impossible to be a financial center unless a country has its own currency and central bank. As it is impossible for the UK to be a member of the EU and not operate under the European Central Bank, once the Brexit referendum is defeated, the process of gradually forcing the UK into the euro will begin. The other powerful interest is the interest of Washington to prevent one country’s exit from leading to the exit of other countries. As CIA documents found in the US National Archives make clear, the EU was a CIA initiative, the purpose of which is to make it easy for Washington to exercise political control over Europe. It is much easier for Washington to control the EU than 28 separate countries. Moreover, if the EU unravels, so likely would NATO, which is the necessary cover for Washington’s aggression. The EU serves Washington and the One Percent. It serves no one else. The EU is a murderer of sovereignty and peoples. The intent is for the British, French, Germans, Italians, Greeks, Spanish, and all the rest to disappear as peoples. Brexit is the last chance to defeat this hidden agenda, and apparently the British will vote tomorrow without having a clue as to what is at stake and what the vote is about.” ***Also just released: Shocking Interview From A Legend On Brexit And The Global Chaos That Will Ensue After Brexit CLICK HERE.

Hunting Humans Could Become 'Big Game' In Future As Economy Continues To Crumble - With The Elite Now Using Food As A Weapon Against Humanity, 'Dark Tourism' Is Already Worth Billions Yearly And Set To Explode As Chaos Takes Hold June 22, 2016

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

The story that the Drudge Report linked to on Tuesday from the Mirror sounds like something out of a dystopian science fiction horror novel but apparently it may one day become all too real; "Hunting Humans Set To Become Big Business For The Super Rich Within The Next 100 Years" we are told. As we hear in the 1st video below from WeaponizedNEWS.Com, we're now getting more and more proof that the 1% want to put the rest of us into a 'hunger games' scenario as we approach UN's Agenda-2030. The 2nd video below is the trailer for the classic movie "Running Man" which takes place, by the way, in the year 2017. ("Oh what timing!" Susan says!) While the elite hunting down humans might sound way out of the realm of possibility to some, the fact that the majority of men and women living in Venezuela are now very hungry with some resorting to hunting down dogs and cats to eat, just to survive, while the elite in Venezuela still dine on gourmet foods should send us a loud and clear signal that it's not out of the realm of possibility. When we also consider the way we're heading in society with dark and evil forces at work all around us, we should heed the warnings of what experts tell us it would take for our society to reach that point which they warn we're already approaching, though we may still be 100 years away from. Telling us that 'dark tourism' is a flourishing business even now in 2016 that is worth billions of dollars a year, we're told that the range of 'dark tourism' from now into the future range from scenes of death from concentration camps and museums dedicated to serial killers and mass murderers to one day featuring the real-life barbarism of the soulless elite hunting down other human beings for sport, and maybe food, if it's not happening privately already. As if we need more proof of how far America and the West have already fallen, we're told that the 'elite' will likely be willing to pay millions of dollars to be able to hunt down and murder other human beings and by the year 2200, such 'events' will likely become televised public spectacle, similar to 'The Hunger Games' or the classic 'The Running Man'.  The nightmare prediction comes from Daniel Wright, senior lecturer in tourism at the University of Central Lancashire in a paper for the scientific journal Futures. He outlined a world ravaged by economic and ecological disasters , leading to overpopulation and a huge gap between rich and poor. But, he said, it also reflect both the past when public executions attracted huge crowds, to the craze for 'Dark Tourism' that is currently work billions a year. This includes scenes of death from battlefields to Ground Zero, concentration camps open to the public and even museums dedicated to murderers such as Jack the Ripper or Dracula. What would it take for us to reach the point where the elite hunting human for sport is not only widely accepted but becomes a public spectacle such as the Hunger Games movie series that showed the youth hunting each other down for sport, in a sick public sacrifice, broadcast for the entire world to see? Is this what our world is coming to, a futuristic gladiatorial society where life no longer matters and people pay to witness or participate in public murder? Hunting humans as an underground sport could happen as early as 2100, the report suggests, but becoming an authentic tourism experience by 2200.Of course the world will have to take a turn for the worse to reach a situation where rich people can hunt poor people for sport. Daniel Wright said: "Death as a spectacle is not a new phenomenon in social spaces. "In fact, our past arguably shows the human fascination for death, through various forms, to be more of a social activity. "Roman gladiatorial games and public executions are well documented examples throughout history." Have America and the West already fallen so far that the future that is warned of for us as early as 2100, that includes the elite hunting down human beings, could become a reality far before they warned us it would? With the economy now heading towards freefall and evil spreading all around us as warned in these three recent stories from Susan Duclos on ANP, have we already arrived at a point where that crossover to barbarism is already upon us? It has been widely proven that the elite who are working to destroy America have a depopulation agenda in store for mankind so that they can get the population of the Earth down to their ideal number of 500 million as represented on the Georgia Guidestones. We have warned time and again that the elite will use food as a weapon upon the people and as we see now in Venezuela, a country without food quickly leads to widespread chaos. The fact that these elite would have no problem hunting down other humans and would actually pay to do so should come as no surprise to ANP readers who know that in this world, absolute evil exists and can be seen in many places all around us if one only looks hard enough to cut through the veil of deception that surrounds us. We're told it would likely take a "future 'captured in fear' scenario" that could lead to the sci-fi nightmare of human beings hunting other human beings down for sport (or food?) We'd venture to bet that it is already happening in small corners of the world where there is no media to broadcast it and nobody left after 'the games' to tell the world the truth. Ecological disasters mean not enough food or land to support the population and megarich tourists hunting the poor to keep the numbers down but as sport too. Wright, outlining his future vision, added: "During these activities the oppressive mega-rich carry out vacations to purposely slaughter humans, with the 'claimed' aim to reduce population size, but an element of perverse thrill and excitement was said to be fuelling the demand. "Due to the strain on resources for human survival the practice gradually became more recognisable and acceptable on the part of the wider population who form part of the wealthy-elite."

How the 'Brexit' Vote Could Impact Americans

By MORGAN WINSOR Jun 24, 2016, 1:03 PM ET

The so-called Brexit vote may seem far removed for most U.S. citizens, but the impact of Britain's exit from the European Union could affect Americans in more ways than one. About half of the American workforce participates in a company retirement plan, according to an analysis of data compiled by the Pew Charitable Trusts. If this includes you, then you’re one of the tens of thousands of people whose investments are at risk from the market turbulence. As Wall Street joins the global market selloff today, your 401(k) will decrease in value temporarily. The good news is that these retirement funds are long-term investments and should be able to weather the storm in the long run. ”No matter how old you are, we’re still looking to the markets to be going up ultimately,” Lauren Lyons Cole, a certified financial planner and personal finance editor at the International Business Times, said on a Facebook live video. “Today, [the markets] might be down 2 or 3 percent but that doesn’t mean you should sell everything – not by a long shot. You want to just keep steady and continue to watch it.” Your Mortgage American households and would-be homeowners will likely see mortgage rates and the cost of buying a house drop, at least in the short term. Investors are currently selling off riskier assets for safe havens, like U.S. Treasuries and gold. As demand for government debt soars, interest rates will fall, with the potential to cause mortgage rates to drop. "In the short term, the move by Britain will unsettle financial markets both in the U.S. and abroad, and likely lead investors to seek haven in safe assets outside of the U.K. and Europe," said Boston College economics professor Robert Murphy. "With a spike in demand for safe U.S. Treasury bonds, yields are likely to move downward. And as investors shift into dollar-denominated assets, the dollar will gain strength against the euro and the pound." The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 1.57 percent earlier today, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader data. The last time it was this low was in 2012 and mortgage rates followed suit. The average 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage has also sunk to nearly a three-year low in the past month, hovering around 3.7 percent. Financial analysts expect the Brexit vote to drive down rates even further in the coming weeks. “If you’re a borrower, don’t wait to lock your rate,” Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at Bankrate, told The Washington Post today. “As this opportunity may not last long.” At the current average rate, you’ll pay roughly $462 a month in principal and interest for every $100,000 you borrow, according to Bankrate. Your Business The U.S. dollar is surging in value in the exchange markets, which will drive up the cost for U.S. exports to the U.K. and elsewhere in Europe. This could bring down sales and profits for U.S.-based multinational companies, because the United Kingdom and the E.U. are huge export markets for the United States, totaling about $328 billion last year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Thirty firms in the S&P 500 generate more than 10 percent of their sales from the United Kingdom, according to data from FactSet Research. "With the E.U. being its largest trading partner, any slowdown in Europe will weaken growth in the U.S. over the near term," said Murphy, a former economist with the Clinton Administration. “Longer-term consequences of Brexit depend on how quickly the process of negotiating new trade and financial arrangements between Britain, the E.U., and other countries takes place. This surely will take several years, meaning that negative economic consequences are likely to be felt for some time.” Also, E.U. membership allows financial firms in the U.K. a “passport” to do business across the other 27 countries. That means American companies can do the same anywhere in the E.U. as long as they set up a branch or subsidiary in a member states. Forty percent of the world's top 250 multinational companies have their European headquarters in London, according to research by Deloitte. The loss of this “passport” will hit American businesses operating out of the U.K. Your Vacation Plans The International Monetary Fund has warned that a Brexit could force the U.K. into a recession. But as the British pound and other European currencies shed value against the U.S. dollar, that trip to London is looking more and more affordable. This means traveling to the U.K. and the rest of Europe will likely become considerably cheaper for U.S. citizens in the coming weeks.

Brexit Leaves Alarm Bells Ringing in Israel

By Yossi Mekelberg On 6/24/16 at 12:14 PM

The day after a tumultuous night, the United Kingdom woke up to a Brexit hangover. Months of fractious, even nasty, campaigning came to an end with a result that surprised even Leave voters themselves. It leaves the country and society divided, and in need of healing the deep rifts opened in the wake of the campaign and its aftermath. Many Britons up and down the country anxiously waited up all night for the results to be declared. Interest in this once-in-a-generation referendum, however, was not confined to Great Britain alone or even the EU, but far beyond. Israel might not be the first example that comes to mind as concerning itself with whether its former Mandatory power stays in or leaves the EU. Nevertheless, within Israel there was a strong, general curiosity about the referendum and more specifically a concern as to how it would affect the Jewish state. Israel has always had complex and even prickly relations with the European Union, mainly around the issue of peace with the Palestinians. From the Venice Declaration of 1980, which called for the right of Palestinians to self-determination, to the most recent French peace initiative, Europe has been seen as biased against Israel. Ironically, Israel is enjoying one of the most favorable trade and cultural agreements with this experimental supranational European entity. Hence, Israeli attitudes towards Brexit depend on whether one thinks it is good for the country to have a strong EU with Britain at the heart of it, or a weak one without it. Furthermore, views in Israel varied about the impact of Britain’s leaving the EU, from those who predicted almost no impact, to those who watched the situation with concern regarding the possibility of what would happen if Israel’s closest ally were to vote out. British Prime Minister David Cameron, in a last ditch attempt to convince members of the Jewish community to support the Remain campaign, told them rather bluntly: “Do you want Britain, Israel’s greatest friend, in there opposing boycotts, opposing the campaign for divestment and sanctions, or do you want us outside the room, powerless to effect the discussion that takes place?” Cameron appealed to a similar sentiment that I found prevalent in my most recent visit to Israel—that Israel needs Britain as a strong and supportive voice against those who are highly critical of Israel within the EU. The decision to leave and Cameron’s resignation come at the time when the mood in Brussels is that Israel’s expansion of settlements, or stand on not negotiating peace with the Palestinians, should no longer go unpunished. Interestingly enough, those close to the settlement movement in the West Bank urged Israelis with a right to vote in the referendum to support leaving the EU. For the Right in Israel it is in the country’s best interest to see a divided and weak European Union with little impact on the future of the occupied territories, in terms of financial aid to the Palestinians and especially a final status agreement. But they should be careful what they wish for in the name of their short-term partisan interest. Regardless, if one is a fan of the soon-to-be-former PM Cameron, he is one of the friendliest British leaders towards Israel in history. Whether inside or outside the European Union, a powerful and prosperous U.K. is important for Israel due to the close economic, strategic, scientific and cultural cooperation between the two. Great Britain is Israel’s chief trade partner on the continent and if its economy suffers as a result of leaving the EU, the ripple effect will be felt in Israel too. Despite growing calls in the U.K. and outside for an academic boycott on Israel, for instance, recently over 350 leading Israeli and British medical researchers met at the University of Oxford in the largest bilateral gathering in years. With the absence of British influence in Europe, Israel is going to be more vulnerable not only to a formal BDS but also the more subtle slowdown in collaboration on wide range of issues. Lastly, Israel as a Jewish state has a sense of responsibility towards world Jewry. Brexit represents, among other phenomena, the rise of nationalism not only in Britain, but across the entire continent. Far-right parties, such as the National Front in France or the Northern League in Italy, expressed their joy at the outcome of the British referendum and demanded similar referenda in their own countries. The rise of nationalism in Europe, of which Brexit is one manifestation, is not a good sign for minorities in the continent, especially for the Jewish minority and their very particular history of persecution. All considered, the British decision that its future lies outside the EU will raise a number of alarm bells among the decision makers in Jerusalem, especially knowing that there is very little they can do about it. Prof. Yossi Mekelberg is the head of the International Relations & Social Sciences Programme at Regent’s University London and associate fellow of the MENA Programme at Chatham House.

Deadlocked Supreme Court blocks Obama on immigration

By Lydia Wheeler and Jordan Fabian - 06/23/16 10:41 AM EDT

The Supreme Court dealt a critical blow to President Obama's immigration policies on Thursday, deadlocking in a 4-4 decision over two controversial programs the White House wants to implement. The tied vote leaves in place a lower court ruling that blocks a program allowing undocumented immigrants who are parents of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents to remain in the United States for three years and apply for work permits. It also prevents the administration from otherwise expanding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program issued by Obama in 2012. This is the most prominent Supreme Court case to stall in a 4-4 tie, and it raises the stakes further in this fall's presidential election. After Justice Antonin Scalia died in February, Obama nominated federal Judge Merrick Garland to the court. But Senate Republicans, even before that nomination, said they would not hold a vote or a hearing for anyone nominated by Obama, arguing the pivotal vote on the high court should be determined by the next president. The White House and Democrats in Congress have howled in rage over that move, and Thursday's decision will increase tensions over the Senate blockade. Obama in an appearance from the White House press briefing room decried what he called the "lack" of a decision by the eight-justice court. “The fact the Supreme Court wasn’t able to issue a decision today doesn’t just set the system back even further, it takes us further back from the country we want to be," he said. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) blasted the GOP Senate majority for failing to consider Garland in comments on the Supreme Court's steps. "This 4-4 decision is clear evidence we need nine justices on the court," Durbin said. Democratic Party standard-bearer Hillary Clinton has backed the president’s actions and said she would go even further as president to reshape immigration policy. "Today’s deadlocked decision from the Supreme Court is unacceptable, and shows us all just how high the stakes are in this election,” she said in a statement. Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump has pledged to place tough new restrictions on illegal immigration, including the construction of a massive wall along the U.S.'s southern border that he says Mexico will pay for. Republicans hailed the high court’s vote. “The Supreme Court’s ruling makes the president’s executive action on immigration null and void,” Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said in a statement. “The Constitution is clear: The president is not permitted to write laws — only Congress is. This is another major victory in our fight to restore the separation of powers.” Thursday's action does not affect the original DACA decision by Obama that allows certain children who entered or stayed in the United States illegally to remain in the country and apply for work permits. Twenty-six Republican-led states sued the federal government over the expansion of that program, as well as the new program for parents, after the president issued fresh executive actions in November 2014. The states claimed they would be burdened by having to spend more on public services like healthcare, law enforcement and education if undocumented parents of both American citizens and legal permanent residents were allowed to stay in the country. Texas, specifically, said it would be hurt by having to issue more driver's licenses, a benefit that’s now subsidized. Supporters of the administration argued that Texas could pass the added costs for driver’s licenses on to residents. They claim the challenging states actually stand to make money off Obama’s programs from an increase in tax contributions. A three-judge panel from a federal appeals court in New Orleans said in a split decision the Obama administration lacked the legal power to shield more than 4 million undocumented immigrants from deportation and grant them work permits. It handed a nationwide injunction preventing the administration from putting the programs into place. By failing to provide a new ruling on that decision, the Supreme Court's action on Thursday leaves it in place. The actual lawsuit suit filed by the 26 states is still working its way through the court system. When Obama took the action to expand his immigration programs, it was part of a last-ditch effort to take action after Congress failed to pass a sweeping overhaul of nation’s immigration system that would have offered a path to citizenship for millions of people living in the country illegally. Immigrant rights activists derided Obama as the “deporter in chief” for ramping up the pace of deportations during his first term. Since then, he’s taken steps to narrow the focus of immigration enforcement, and his executive actions were seen as a centerpiece of his push to reverse that trend. Rafael Bernal contributed to this report, which was updated at 12:14 p.m.

Pentagon ban on transgender troops 'likely' to be lifted next month

Published June 25, 2016 FoxNews.com

The Pentagon is "likely" to repeal its ban on transgender service members next month, defense officials told Fox News Friday, even as one report claimed an announcement could happen as soon as next week. According to USA Today, top personnel officials could meet as soon as Monday to finalize details of the plan. Deputy Defense Secretary Bob Wolk would sign off on the plan and Defense Secretary Ash Carter would give his final approval shortly before the July 4 weekend. Pentagon officials would not confirm the USA Today report's timetable to Fox News, but spokesman Peter Cook told reporters earlier this week that a decision on the matter was coming "soon." "I can tell you that we have made progress," said Cook. "[Carter] has indicated that he expects to make a final decision soon, and that's exactly where we are." Late Friday, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, accused Carter of putting "the political agenda of a departing administration ahead of the military’s readiness crisis." Carter announced last year that the ban on transgender troops serving openly would be lifted unless it was proven that such an action would have a negative "impact on military effectiveness and readiness." In his statement, Thornberry said Carter had failed to answer a series of questions posed by the committee at the time of Carter's initial announcement, including the cost of modifying barracks and bathroom facilities. The Defense Department currently disqualifies transgender troops from the service on medical grounds. USA Today also reported that several issues related to repealing the transgender ban have caused contention at the Pentagon, most notably how long troops would need to serve before being eligible for gender reassignment surgery. Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson contributed to this report.

President Obama Refuses to Protect Californians' Religious Freedom

12:00PM EDT 6/22/2016 Bob Eschliman

U.S. Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), co-chair of the Bipartisan Congressional Pro-Life Caucus, reacted sternly Tuesday evening to news the Obama administration is now "reinterpreting" the Weldon Amendment to allow California's mandate that all insurance companies pay for abortion and abortion-inducing drugs to continue. Smith said the move was a "new low" for the administration. "This means that Californians, including churches, will continue to be forced to pay for elective abortions in their insurance plans," he said. "The Weldon amendment—named for the Florida Congressman Dave Weldon who authored it—has been renewed and signed into law annually, including by President Obama. "The Weldon Amendment protects against state-imposed abortion mandates, but Obama's administration has again shown blatant disregard for the rule of law." The Weldon Amendment is an annual appropriations rider, signed into law consistently since 2004, which protects against state-imposed discrimination on the basis of declining to pay for or participate in abortion. Since August of 2014, California has mandated that all churches in the state must cover all abortions in their insurance plans—even in plans where abortion had previously been excluded. Numerous churches filed complaints with the HHS Office of Civil Rights seeking enforcement of the Weldon Amendment. Tuesday, the HHS Office of Civil Rights released the results of its investigation into the California mandate, stating it "found no violation of the Weldon Amendment and is closing this matter without further action." Smith said the decision illustrates "the far reaches of Obama's radical pro-abortion ideology" by forcing churches and communities of faith that have pro-life convictions to "participate in and pay for a practice that dismembers and chemically poisons unborn children." "Congress must not let this discrimination stand," he said. "We must take this issue out of the hands of the Obama administration by moving enforcement of current conscience protections to the courts. Congress needs to enact legislation so churches and other victims have a 'private right of action' so they can have their day in court." Draw closer to God.

Obama creates first national gay rights monument

By Devin Henry - 06/24/16 12:00 PM EDT

President Obama has established a new national monument at New York’s Stonewall Inn, the first such dedication marking the gay rights movement in the United States. The Stonewall Inn is a Greenwich Village gay bar and the site of a police raid and subsequent riots in 1969 that helped ignite the American gay rights movement. In a White House video released Friday, Obama said that movement “ultimately became an integral part of America.” Naming a monument at Stonewall Inn as a national monument has been in the works for months. But its official commemoration on Friday comes as America’s LGBT community reels from the mass shooting that killed 49 people at an Orlando gay nightclub earlier this month. That attack, categorized by federal officials as both a hate crime and terrorist attack, has added fuel to the debate over federal legal protections for the LGBT community that had already played out publicly and acrimoniously in the U.S. House this year. It also brought the gay rights movement directly into the political debate over guns: the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s biggest LGBT advocacy group, announced last week that it would advocate for stricter gun control measure after the shooting. The Stonewall designation is part of an Obama administration effort to highlight the LGBT rights movement around the country. The Department of Interior announced in May 2014 that it would conduct a “theme study” of important LGBT sites around the United States. It has named nine sites historical landmarks or added them to the National Register of Historic Places since then. “Stonewall will be our first national monument to tell the story of the struggle for LGBT rights,” Obama said in the video. “I believe our national parks should reflect the full story of our country: the richness and diversity and uniquely American spirit that has always defined us, that we are stronger together, that out of many, we are one.” Interior Secretary and National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis will attend a dedication ceremony for the monument — in neighboring Christopher Park — on Monday. —This post was updated at 2:00 p.m.

NWO Wounded And Backs Against The Wall - Will Trump Deal Its Death Blow? 'Globalists To Launch Wave Of False Flags' To Stop The Liberty Movement

June 25, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

Long called 'conspiracy theory', a term invented by the CIA in 1967 to attack anyone who questions the 'official narrative', the 'new world order' and 'global elite' have been called out and rebuffed in huge ways in recent days, including a Brexit which sees those living in Great Britain taking their country back as well as the recent shock to Barack Obama's 'open doors to terrorists' immigration policy that was dealt a death blow by the US Supreme Court only days ago. As we hear in the first of two videos below from Infowars, the 'nwo' is wounded, and a presidency of Donald Trump would be THE opportunity to deal it a final death blow for our generation if not for all of time. Will Americans get a chance to take back our country from the globalist forces that have been attempting to rip our country away from us for many years with many warning that Barack Obama is leading the treasonous way? Susan Duclos told us in a story yesterday on ANP, after Brexit, the 'global elite' are now freaking out in panic and as we hear in the 2nd video below from Infowars and David Knight, the globalists are also unleashing a wave of false flags across the US in a last-ditch attempt to stop the liberty movement and Donald Trump. The only way that they can be successful is if Americans continue to stay dumbed down to false flag terrorism and the very real danger that Islam poses to so-called 'moderate' Muslims and anybody else not Islamic worldwide as ISIS terrorists continue global jihad. We have long warned that the globalists will never allow an 'America-1st' president to take office and we expect that they'll probably pull out all stops in an attempt to put an end to the Trump phenomenon, one way or another. As we were asked to do in a story from TruNews recently linked to on the website of Steve Quayle, if we are Christians, we should be praying for the health and safety of Donald Trump as according to Dr. James Dobson, Founder of Focus on the Family and a famous evangelical, Donald Trump has accepted Jesus into his heart and his life. Nearly two years ago, Barack Obama warned that 'there is not a force on Earth' that could stop his 'open doors to terrorists' immigration policy though now that it appears that his words have met up against 'that force', the US Supreme Court, which has told Obama he and his administration have stepped way over the line with his powers. Shouldn't a president or anyone else in America who are enabling and aiding terrorists in this country be held responsible for those decisions when they lead to situations like what happened in San Bernardino, California or Orlando, Florida, after Hillary Clinton's State Department blocked investigations into Omar Mateen's mosque? Isn't Hillary directly responsible for that 'alleged' massacre since her State Department could have stopped it if they'd followed through on their investigation? As we learned in this new story from All-Self-Sustained, this terrorist enabler has seemingly declared war against the American people with what they call a 'terrifying move against the American people,' a huge number of armed federal agents that have given him 'his own private army' that he told us years ago he was seeking to build. Telling us within this story that Obama's own private Army is even bigger than the US Marine Corps leads us to ask, are Obama and the rapidly failing 'new world order' planning on using this 'private army' against the American people in a last-ditch attempt to keep America part of the globalists playground, as well as keeping this country a terrorist breeding ground, rapidly expanding on Obama's watch? As we're told in the final video below, the globalists will likely attempt to pull out every last ditch effort and weapon in their arsenal in an attempt to keep control of our nation. Like a wounded animal with its back against the wall, the globalists now have very little to lose with their dreams of world domination crumbling, a rapidly awakening Western populace, and Donald Trump in the wings, ready to help Americans take our country back from the forces who have long been plotting against us. Will the globalists be successful in using their ultimate 'false flag' weapon, the ISIS terrorists that Hillary and Obama along with John McCain were responsible for arming, against us? Whether or not they soon pull off their 'final false flag' that leads to an America back under their thumb and the ever present boot stomping upon a human face forever or Americans finally rise up, once and for all, and take our country back, the answer is clear....only time will tell. This story of America fighting, once again, for freedom against globalist overlords is one of the most important stories in this day and age of humanity's fight for justice against this global cabal intent on forever enslaving the entire human populace. While Britain has temporarily won against globalists and tyranny, with Brexit, Americas fate hangs in the balance with an election only months away... and because of that...this story...will be continued. It's America's turn to take back our country's sovereignty now.

EXCLUSIVE AUDIO: Eyewitness confirms allegations that migrants raped five-year-old Idaho girl

June 22, 2016 Faith GoldyRebel Host

A five-year-old girl raped by Muslim migrant boys in America and the mainstream media’s first instinct is to dismiss the story and label local residents racist bigots and "Islamophobes"? The "don’t ask, don’t tell" doctrine on the refugee file is becoming painfully routine— but, playing politics over the alleged rape of a five year would seem unethical and indefensible. And yet, this week, that is exactly what happened. News out of an apartment complex in Twin Falls, Idaho: A five-year-old girl sexually assaulted in a laundry room by two refugee boys as a third boy looked on, filming the attack. An eighty-nine-year-old neighbour saw suspicious activity and approached the area to become eye witness to what can only be described as a fearful scene. Immediately, local papers rushed to discredit the story as false claims being spread to incite anti-refugee sentiment. And their narrative was bolstered the County Prosecutor who said there had been no Syrians, no knife, and no gang-rape. Well, just because the mainstream media was unwilling to follow up, doesn’t mean we here at The Rebel were about to ignore or downplay the broader allegations at the heart of this story. After one news outlet published the name of the alert eighty-nine year old who became eye witness to the alleged incident, I gave that woman, Jolene Payne, a call. WATCH my exclusive report about the incident and my conversation with Jolene Payne. According to Ms. Payne's account, there were three naked migrant boys in the laundry room with the naked five year old girl, who was covered in urine, and a fourth migrant boy stood outside filming the attack, which was what drew her to the scene. Ms. Payne does not know where the boys are from specifically but confirmed they were from migrant families. To be sure, according the the U-S State Department’s Refugee Processing Centre, Twin Falls Idaho has received over three hundred migrants from Iraq and over one hundred and sixty Sudanese migrants, while Idaho has received just shy of sixty Syrian migrants since war broke out there in 2011. Ms Payne, a former nurse, told me she had seen a lot in her long life but nothing like this. Ms. Payne also told me there was no knife involved, but that people might be confused because of another event in Twin Falls not long ago, which involved another migrant boy who pulled a knife on another little American girl. Ms Payne, referred to as "Grandma Jo" by the neighbourhood children, answered all my questions with consistency and a confident recollection of the facts. Her story did not sway. There was only one question I had left: Was there any evidence the five year old girl had been raped? Here’s what she told me:

Payne: Her dad and mother told me. And I told them, “Okay.” Yeah, that’s what they said at the hospital.

Goldy: So, the father and the mother told you that the little five-year-old girl had been raped?

Payne: Yeah, ‘cos they took her to the hospital in the ambulance and she was checked.

According to Ms Payne’s account, doctors told this little girl’s parents their five-year-old daughter had been raped. As stated in Islam’s Holy Book, the Quran, a woman’s testimony is only worth half that of a man’s and a woman needs four witnesses to prove a rape occurred. Often times, in Muslim countries, rape victims are found to be at fault. But here in North America, we aren’t ruled by Sharia law. And, despite bleats from the Left, there is no rape culture in the West. In America, rapists are charged, tried, and convicted based on evidence and the rule of law. In the wake of the Orlando terrorist attack, political correctness concealed the shooter’s Islamist motives and left the gay community in the dark. I pray, in the wake of the Idaho attack, political correctness does not obscure real rape culture to leave this little girl re-victimized, but brings her migrant attackers to justice so that they might never re-offend. (NOTE: This isn't the first time I've had to follow up on dismissed allegations of child abuse where the perpetrators were Muslim migrant children -- I did so in Halifax earlier this year.)

Obama Bashes Whitey in Speech at Entrepreneurship Summit (Video)

Jim Hoft Jun 24th, 2016 2:23 pm 261 Comments

Barack Obama spoke at the 2016 Global Entrepreneurship Summit Friday in Palo Alto, California. This was his first speech after the Brexit vote left another mark on his years of failed leadership at home and abroad. Obama: When people can start their own businesses it helps people and families succeed… It offers a positive path for young people seeking to make something of themselves and can empower people who previously have been locked out of the existing social order, women, minorities, others who aren’t part of the old boys network. Did you catch that? According to Obama only women and minorities aren’t part of the “good old boy” networks – run by white men. He must believe ALL WHITE MEN are openly accepted in all the “good old boys” networks. According to Obama, all white men are granted privileges and given access not because of their work but because of their skin color. Isn’t that racist? This man is so offensive – and ignorant. Of course, the liberal media won’t say anything because they believe it is perfectly acceptable to single out and abuse white men.

Trump: America has Chance to ‘reject rule by global elite’

Trump on Brexit: "Basically, they took back their county”

Adan Salazar - June 24, 2016

Presidential candidate Donald Trump on Friday congratulated the UK for voting to assert its independence from the European Union, and encouraged the American people in November to also assert their independence from the “global elite.” Following the British vote to exit the EU, Trump said the election results marked a shift toward more nationalistic tendencies.

Obama Declares WAR On America With TERRIFYING Move Against The People

There’s little question whether or not we live in troubled times, but a move from the Obama administration has many people questioning the motive behind it and whether or not it’s preparing for war with the people. As we all know, it’s illegal for our military to carry out any operations on our homeland against the American people. Of course, even if such an illegal order was given, our brave men and women who serve would ignore it anyway, as would many who served in the National Guard, which makes one wonder; why are our federal bureaucracies so heavily armed? A new report from Open the Books, a taxpayer watchdog group, found that for the first time in American history, there’s more armed domestic federal government employees than there are members of the Marine Corps, and that number is steadily rising. The Washington Free Beacon has more: There are now more non-military government employees who carry guns than there are U.S. Marines, according to a new report. Open the Books, a taxpayer watchdog group, released a study Wednesday that finds domestic government agencies continue to grow their stockpiles of military-style weapons, as Democrats sat on the House floor calling for more restrictions on what guns American citizens can buy. The “Militarization of America” report found civilian agencies spent $1.48 billion on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment between 2006 and 2014. Examples include IRS agents with AR-15s, and EPA bureaucrats wearing camouflage. “Regulatory enforcement within administrative agencies now carries the might of military-style equipment and weapons,” Open the Books said. “For example, the Food and Drug Administration includes 183 armed ‘special agents,’ a 50 percent increase over the ten years from 1998-2008. At Health and Human Services (HHS), ‘Special Office of Inspector General Agents’ are now trained with sophisticated weaponry by the same contractors who train our military special forces troops.” The same report found that there’s over 200,000 armed non-military federal officers with arrest capability, and they have the same weaponry that the military uses. So what’s it all for? If you remember, on July 2, 2008, then-presidential candidate, Barack Obama said, “We cannot rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We gotta have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.” Perhaps that offers us some clues as to why these agencies aren’t relying on local police like they used to. So is Obama now arming these agencies so they become the domestic military force that he said we needed back in 2008? At the end of September 2015, Pope Francis boarded a plane back to the Vatican after and extremely controversial trip to America. Shortly after he left, Obama was back in the public eye, attacking religious freedom. Later that night, at a Democratic National Committee-sponsored event in New York, promoted as a “LGBT Gala,” Obama took the stage. During his speech, he warned Christians throughout the country that religious freedom was not as important as gay rights. “We affirm that we cherish our religious freedom and are profoundly respectful of religious traditions,” the POTUS said. “But we also have to say clearly that our religious freedom doesn’t grant us the freedom to deny our fellow Americans their constitutional rights.” Obama criticized Christian groups for their “genuine concerns.” Still, he insisted that the issue was being pushed by Republicans, who were simply trying to acquire more votes. Fast forward to today, and it is clear that Obama is more than happy to throw out our Constitutional rights entirely as long as he gets more votes for his anti-gun agenda. It is ironic that Obama ignores the constitution when it comes to our gun rights, but clings on to it to push his LGBT agenda. “America has left the leaders of the Republican Party behind,” Obama said during his speech in September, before lashing out at then-candidates Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, and Mike Huckabee. It is very clear from Obama’s actions that the US citizens needs to be disarmed while a new army (that will obey his demands) is growing every day. Where do you think his actions will lead? Well, that remains to be seen, but this much is for certain; these agencies don’t need this kind of weaponry given the jobs they’re tasked with, so something sinister appears to be happening behind the scenes.

'It's one of the most devastating I've ever seen': California wildfire kills an elderly couple, destroys 80 homes, threatens 1,500 more and triggers evacuation

Fire has broken out at Lake Isabella, near Bakersfield in central California

Several thousand people have been told to evacuate as flames spread

Elderly couple trying to flee from flames were overcome with smoke and killed, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said

By Associated Press and Chris Summers For Mailonline Published: 01:30 EST, 24 June 2016 | Updated: 01:10 EST, 25 June 2016

A deadly wildfire that roared through dry brush and trees in the mountains of central California gave residents little time to flee as flames burned dozens of homes to the ground, propane tanks exploded, and smoke obscured the path to safety. An elderly couple trying to flee from the flames were overcome with smoke outside of their house and killed, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said. Their bodies were found Friday near Lake Isabella, a popular recreation area east of Bakersfield that was ravaged by wind-whipped flames, said Phil Neufeld, a county fire spokesman. At least 80 houses were destroyed in the southern Sierra Nevada as the fire burned out of control across nearly 47 square miles, leveling neighborhoods and forcing thousands of people to flee from fast-moving flames. The names of the two dead have not been released. The sheriff said his department hasn't been able to search very extensively and would be looking through burned homes with cadaver dogs seeking more possible victims. David Klippel, 78, a retired police officer, said he didn't see much of a threat after receiving an automated call advising him to leave. That changed dramatically within an hour Thursday afternoon. 'I've never been so close to a fast-moving, ferocious fire. It was unbelievable,' said Klippel, who later learned his house had caught fire. 'I almost didn't have time to get out.' Neighborhoods of mobile homes were charred to their foundations. Gusty winds pushed the flames and smoke farther into drought-starved terrain. The fire is 5 per cent contained. 'The forces of nature collided with a spark,' Kern County Fire Chief Brian Marshall said. 'The mountainous terrain, five years of drought and wind gusts of over 20 mph all drove a fire over 11 miles in 13 hours.' Scorching heat and tinder-dry conditions across the West have contributed to massive wildfires in the past week that have destroyed properties and sent residents to seek shelter and hope for the best. Laura Rogers was one of those who thought she'd never see her home or her brother's home again. Instead, she was lucky to find both standing in a neighborhood of mobile homes that was devastated. 'I was sure this place was gone last night,' Rogers said through tears as she gestured at the destruction around her. 'I mean look at this, I can't believe it. It's like a scary movie.' The downspout of her brother's home was melted on the ground, but the structure was intact. Dozens of other homes were gone, left in piles of charred sheet metal and cinderblock foundations. Scorched tricycles, air conditioners and TV dishes littered the landscape. Burned-out cars sat on tireless rims and leafless trees poked from barren, blackened dirt. The California blaze erupted quickly, putting some 1,500 homes in jeopardy. Three firefighters suffered from smoke inhalation. Crews faced a 'firefight of epic proportions' as they tried to protect neighborhoods, Marshall said. Officials said they expect to find many more homes destroyed as the smoke clears and they do a more thorough check of smoldering neighborhoods. Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency, freeing up money and resources to fight the fire and cleanup its aftermath. It also temporarily suspends some state regulations and waives fees as a way to ease the return of evacuees and those who have lost homes. Dramatic video from Thursday night showed homes fully engulfed and others already gone as propane tanks flared up and popped. Flames glowing in the steep, rocky hillsides were reflected on the lake. Residents described a frantic flight from communities surrounding the lake, a dammed section of the Kern River that is a destination for boating, fishing, rafting, hiking and camping. Cachet Kirby, 22, of Mount Mesa and her neighbors grabbed clothes, blankets and their dogs and fled through thick smoke as flames charged down the slopes. 'It was to the point you couldn't see, you couldn't breathe,' she said. She and others, exhausted Friday morning after little sleep in shelters and cars, were desperate for information about their homes. 'We could have gotten lucky and the wind shifted, or our house could be burned down,' Kirby said. Cellphone service was cut off in many areas, contributing to the anxieties. Very low humidity and gusty winds of up to 55 mph could worsen the blaze that broke out amid high temperatures and climbed over at least three ridges into hillside neighborhoods. Kern County fire captain Tyler Townsend said: 'I've never been in a wildland fire where I've seen so many homes burn. It's one of the most devastating I've ever seen.' Capt Townsend said many of the houses in the area have propane tanks, adding to the danger. Several thousand people were told to evacuate in Bella Vista, South Fork, Weldon, Onyx, Lakeland Estates, Mountain Mesa, South Lake, Squirrel Valley, and Yankee Canyon. But some have refused to leave their homes. Hillside homes along dirt roads were consumed by heavy flames in Squirrel Mountain Valley, a community of about 500 people. Smoky haze could be seen for miles around, and orange flames lit the evening air as planes and helicopters dropped brightly colored flame retardant on the blaze. Elsewhere in the state, cooler weather helped crews fighting two fires that burned more than eight square miles of chaparral and brush in the Angeles National Forest and foothill communities northeast of Los Angeles. More than 1,300 homes in Duarte and Azusa were evacuated, but half have been allowed back. Near the Mexican border in San Diego County, an 11-square-mile fire burned down five homes.

'Clock is ticking' for megaquake in Missouri that could cause 'all hell to break loose' across Middle America

The New Madrid Seismic Zone is 150 miles long

Experts say a quake would impact seven states - Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi

By Mark Prigg For Dailymail.com Published: 12:24 EST, 24 June 2016 | Updated: 15:46 EST, 24 June 2016

While San Andreas and Cascadia are well known for their potential to cause a megaquakes, researchers have warned a little known fault in the midwest is also long overdue a tremor. The New Madrid Seismic Zone is 150 miles long, and experts say a quake would impact seven states - Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi. They claim 'all hell would break loose,' with 715,000 buildings damaged and 2.6m people left without power. The Mid-America Earthquake Center at the University of Illinois released a report in 2009, which suggested the effects of a force seven or stronger quake from the fault line. Amr Elnashai, the study's lead author, wrote 'All hell will break loose.' The 150-mile (240 km) long fault system, which extends into five states, stretches southward from Cairo, Illinois; through Hayti, Caruthersville and New Madrid in Missouri; through Blytheville into Marked Tree in Arkansas. It also covers a part of West Tennessee, near Reelfoot Lake, extending southeast into Dyersburg. It is southwest of the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone. Most of the seismicity is located between 3 and 15 miles (4.8 and 24.1 km) beneath the Earth's surface, researchers believe. The area has not seen significant earthquakes for more than 200 years. In the winter of 1811 and 1812 there were three earthquakes of magnitude 7 - as high as 7.7 - and a series of aftershocks across the American Midwest.

West Virginia flooding, worst in '100 years,' leaves at least 23 dead, including two children

BY David Boroff NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Updated: Saturday, June 25, 2016, 12:04 AM

Some of the worst flooding in West Virginia "in 100 years" has left at least 23 people dead, including two children. Tens of thousands of residents were left without power and many roads were impassable after nine inches of rain came down on Thursday, officials said. The hardest hit counties include Greenbrier, Nicholas, Fayette, Kanawha and Webster. In Greenbrier, a flaming house could be seen floating down a creek. Approximately 100 homes have been damaged, and the death toll rose to 23 by Friday night, WCBH-TV reported. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin said that there had been 9 inches of rain in the state, adding, "It's been a long 24 hours, and the next 24 hours, and the next 24 hours may not be an easier." Tornado kills 51 people, destroys numerous buildings in China His address came as the deluge brought unprecedented damage to the Mountain State. "Roads destroyed, bridges out, homes burned down, washed off foundations," Greenbrier County Sheriff Jan Cahill said. "Multiple sections of highway just missing. Pavement just peeled off like a banana. I've never seen anything like that." An 8-year-old boy and a 4-year-old boy who were swept away in different counties, authorities said. The death toll was expected to increase, said Cahill, who described "complete chaos" in his county. "Today's just an accountability mission, trying to verify where everybody's at and follow up on missing person tips," Cahill said. "It's really hard to navigate around because there's just a ton of debris. We've even had rescuers that had to be rescued."

Belinda Scott had fled to the attic after smelling gas, though her house then blew up and killed her two dogs. She held on to a tree for more than four hours before being rescued, and is currently hospitalized with burns on 67% of her body, her husband Ronnie said. A state of emergency was issued Thursday for 44 of the 55 counties in the state. Tomblin authorized the deployment of up to 200 members of the West Virginia National Guard to help local emergency responders. N.J., Brooklyn kin of dead Fort Hood soldiers recall loved ones "We had swift water rescue teams out until late last night and back out again his morning literally rescuing people from rooftops and upper stories of houses," he said. One of those rescued from the top of his roof was Paul Moya, who is diabetic. "I'm still shaking," he told CBS News from the hospital. "I really just want to break down and cry right now. All I could see was the homes burning and the electrical poles burning. I think I could say that now I was scared." “We surely need your prayers, because there’s a lot of people hurting right now,” Greenbrier Resort owner Jim Justice told The Weather Channel. Pro golfer Bubba Watson was at the resort and tweeted photos of entire holes underwater: "Prayers for @The_Greenbrier & surrounding areas. We are without power & it's still raining. Never seen this much rain! #WestVirginiaBeSafe." Rescue crews on Friday began evacuating approximately 500 people trapped by high water at the Crossings Mall in Elkview. Eric Blackshire was able to get to safety when volunteer firefighters used a rope to guide people down a hillside. "It was kind of like a hurricane party. I guess you could call it a flood party. There were lots of beers being drank last night," he said. Kanawha County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Brian Humphreys said a temporary bridge may be needed to get everyone out. Richwood Mayor Robert Johnson said there was extensive damage to his city. "We pretty much live in a bowl, and the bowl filled with water, certainly," he said. Some areas were looking at flooding "that's going to be the worst in 100 years," said Chris Stadelman, Tomblin's communications director. "My mother-in-law has lived here for 80 years, and this never happened before," Mark Burgess of Elkview told NBC News. "There is nothing you can do. We can call for help if it's too deep, but it's OK right now." A dam at Summit Lake was operating normally but was being watched closely, the Gazette Mail reported. "The dam is still there. It is still functioning the way it is supposed to function," Ray Torres, deputy forest supervisor at the U.S. Forest Service headquarters in Elkins, told the paper. Across the state line, the crisis is nearly as dire in Virginia. Gov. Terry McAuliffe declared a state of emergency due to the flooding in Alleghany County and Covington. The Virginia Department of Transportation warns that more than a dozen Alleghany County roads were closed Friday morning. There were approximately 1,700 customers without power statewide. "It's really bad. There's a raging river," Alleghany County Chief Sheriff's Deputy Matt Bowser told NBC News. "There's 500-gallon oil tanks and trash cans and gas cans and tree trunks floating down the river where people's backyards are. You can see people in the second-story windows waiting to be evacuated." With News Wire Services With TOBIAS SALINGER

CNN Talking Head, Fareed Zakaria, Kicked into Touch by Russia’s President Putin

June 24, 2016 By Vanessa Beeley 5 Comments Vanessa Beeley 21st Century Wire

In October 2015, Council on Foreign Relations member and CNN talking head, Fareed Zakaria, made the following statement on his blog that aptly demonstrated the yawning chasm that exists between Whitehouse media mouthpieces and the reality of the war against Syria fomented and fuelled on all fronts by a US government protecting its geopolitical interests and those of its allies in the region in the only way it understands, via “regime change” “If defeating the Islamic State is important, then it has to become the overriding priority, allying with any outside forces that will join the fight. If Assad falls and jihadis take Damascus, that would be worse than if Assad stays. This doesn’t mean providing Assad with any support, but allowing him to create an Alawite enclave in Syria, of a kind that is already forming. The Kurds and moderate Syrians are creating their own safe spaces as well. Even if the civil war ends and a country called Syria remains, these groups will not live all intermingled again.” “So far in Syria, the West has combined maximalist, uncompromising rhetoric with minimalist, ineffective efforts. It is the yawning gap between the two that is making Vladimir Putin look smart.” ~ Fareed Zakaria In this mind-boggling display of that all too familiar American exceptionalism, the attributes of any world statesperson being entirely dependent upon their reflection in the US mirror, Zakaria set himself up for a crashing fall. That fall came when Zakaria was invited to moderate a panel discussion at Saint Petersburg Economic Forum, which ran from June 16th to June 18th of this year. Present on stage were, Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, President Putin, and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. Putin throughout the interview manages Zakaria with his usual adroit and intelligent responses. However, when Zakaria confronts Putin with reference to his alleged comments on Trump, we see the full force of Putin’s razor sharp wit and intellect turned against the CNN frontman with devastating effect. The quote that Zakaria refers to is taken from The Hill and Political Insider among others: Russian President Vladimir Putin had kind words for his “stablemate” Donald Trump during an annual end-of-the-year Q&A session in Moscow. “[Donald Trump is] a really brilliant and talented person, without any doubt,” [Vladimir] Putin told reporters, according to a translation by Interfax. “It’s not our job to judge his qualities, that’s a job for American voters, but he’s the absolute leader in the presidential race.” [emphasis added] Zakaria with the smugness of certainty in his information asks Putin if he stands by his opinion of Trump. Putin responds with the certainty that comes from the experience of dealing with propagandists. He clears his throat and projects the sardonic look that he is expert at which illicits a ripple of laughter from his audience and fellow guests. Putin: “You are very well known in our country Mr Zakaria, and not only as a presenter with one of the world’s largest TV networks but also as an intellectual, so let me ask you, why do you keep distorting facts? The journalist tramples upon the analyst expert in you. What I said was that Mr Trump is a flamboyant, colourful, bright personality but isnt he flamboyant? He is, and there is nothing more to add. What I really like about him, and I very much welcome that, is Mr Trump said he would be willing to restore a fully fledged relationship between Russia and the US [applause]. I think everyone would be happy, wouldnt you? ” The Zakaria grimace speaks volumes… ZAKARIA: Turning noticeably red. The interview in full is a further demonstration of how Russia is stealing the march on its US rivals in every sense, diplomatically, politically and militarily in Syria. While our world leaders and representatives in the west trip over their own lies, Russian, Syrian and Iranian statesmen and women maintain a dignity, integrity and intellectual prowess that is captivating to watch. Here is the panel discussion in full, enjoy the second slap down regarding Putin’s working with Hilary Clinton: Last fall, another monolithic establishment media outlet, the BBC, dispatched its own institutional set-piece, John Simpson, to St. Petersberg in order to publicly confront Russia’s Putin. The results were similar that of CNN’s Zakaria, as Putin skillfully deconstructed Simpson’s own dry Council of Foreign Relations and UK Foreign Office talking points and one-sided world view. Watch that embarrassing exchange here:

Hussein Obama, 50; America, 0:More Adventures in Multiculturalism

Posted on June 16, 2016 by Fred Reed

Orlando? So what else is new? Why the excitement? I am puzzled that everyone is distraught over a perfectly ordinary act of terrorism by a perfectly ordinary Muslim terrorist. We have seen these attacks before and will see them again. They grow monotonous, like car crashes. They are as interesting as a commercial break. Why the surprise? We know Muslims kill Christians. We know they stone adulteresses to death. We know they drive airplanes into buildings. We know they mutilate women. We know they bomb airliners. We know they destroy historic monuments. We know they kill their daughters for losing their virginity. We know they kill homosexuals. We know they make coordinated mass attacks on cities. We know they are incompatible with societies of the First World. We know they have no respect for our laws. We know they hate us. Knowing all of this, what do we do? Why…of course! What else? We import more of them. Nothing could make more sense. Ten thousand Syrians, coming to your neighborhood. Thank you, Obama. Thank you in advance, Hillary. More precisely, Hussein Obama imports them. A black President with Islamic roots, barely American, who dislikes white people and recruits immigrants of his two ethnicities as hard as he can. We get utterly unassimilable Somalis in Minnesota, and all the Muslims he can find. Fifty gay men have just paid the price. For Hussein’s policy. The man fascinates me. The two worst actors that America has suffered since Lincoln are Osama bin Laden and Hussein Obama. They easily fit into any list of history’s most effective and influential men, being true geniuses. For a few hundred thousand dollars and an army of a couple of dozen, bin Laden stunningly humiliated America on international television, turned the country into a police state frightened of everything, inspired abrogation of its Constitution, and sucked the country into unending wars. On a cost-benefit basis, it was astonishing. He up-throttled national decline and has Americans hopping barefoot in airports while recordings on subways tell us to watch each other and report “suspicious behavior.” Hussein Obama is in the same majestic league. He has said that he wants to “transform” America, and he has, has he ever, by simply doing what he wants. He found and exploited the hidden weakness in American government, which is that nobody has the balls to tell him “No.” He has won by sheer force of will. You’ve got to hand it to the guy: he’s good. He has set the stage for, at least, unending divisiveness and very possibly for civil war. He will bring in as many more incompatible savages as he can before leaving office, and Hillary, if elected, will be Obama continued by other means. Amazing. The combined militaries of Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany could not do as much lasting harm as this one man. Why does he do it? Look at it as revenge for slavery. Obama bin Osama, I strongly suspect, does. Our post-racial President is in fact the most racial. For those killed by Omar, and their families and friends, there is nothing amusing about the slaughter. In a certain abstract sense, there is. America is like a man beating on his thumb with a hammer and yelling, “Oh! Ouch! Oooh! It hurts!” Why doesn’t he just stop? Well, that would be hammer-phobic. Countries deserve what they tolerate. They even more deserve what they encourage. From Drudge: “Imam speaking in Orlando said gays must be killed out of ‘compassion’…” Hmmmm. Might this not be homophobic? I dare not say so, for fear of being thought Islamophobic. Which I am not. No. I suffer from Islamonausea. It seems that gays have to be killed on the authority of some Fourth Century towel rack. It is because the Religion of Peace says so. If a televangelist in Kansas said that homosexuals had to be killed for Jesus, the entire zoo of talking heads would be on him like lice on a leper and the FBI would gin up fraudulent charges. Watch the media for the outrage that won’t exist as they cover up. You can bet that Hussein Obama will say nothing against his own people. From the standpoint of a curmudgeon, to which ashen-souled tribe I belong, the events in Orlando provide the gray satisfaction of confirmation. We in our dismal trade derive no joy from unavoidable sufferings springing from the routine malice of existence—cancer, automobile wrecks, birth defects—but we thrive on the self-inflicted, on the finger-hammerings accompanied by cries of “Ouch!” We observe that Muslims are nothing but trouble anywhere, so we import Muslims. We observe that diversity is the chief source of bitter strife in the world, so we open the borders. When seeking employees, we deliberately hire people who can’t do the job. In our universities we purposely admit those who neither can nor want to learn. Then, when the obvious, the predictable, indeed the inevitable unexpectedly occurs, we insist that it really didn’t, or shouldn’t have, or wouldn’t have, or something, and do it again. In its way it is wonderfully funny. Unless of course you are among the dead. In Paris the day after Orlando, another Mohammedan emissary of peace stabbed to death a policeman and his wife. (“Allahu Akbar: ‘Mohamed Ali’ Stabs Cop on Street, Slits Throat of Wife…”) Yes, Paris, the city in which heartwarming Muslims have carried out coördinated simultaneous bombings, killed editorial staffs of publications that irked them, burned banlieues and countless cars and successfully intimidate the police. Mon dieu! What can these isolated incidents have in common? Nobody knows. Perhaps the perpetrators were troubled youth. Actually the comic people are only those who generate a personal reality-distortion field and do hilariously foolish things. At the top of the political dunghill it is not stupidity but design. Or so it must be…mustn’t it? One expects academics to gibber and squeak, and neurally-challenged columnists and rabble studentry and talking heads and so on. It takes some very serious believing to believe that the governments of England, France, Holland, Sweden, Denmark and America are too stupid to have noticed what Muslims do, and what they are doing to those countries. Yet governments cover up, hide identities, punish observation as “hate speech,” and keep pumping the barbarians in. Why? Opening America’s southern borders make sense because it makes money for those for whom it makes money. Who profits from flaming arrondissements, explosions in subways, and dead gays? Ah, but the irony is delicious. London, once master of most of the world, has become a branch office of Pakistan and now has a Muslim mayor, who sets about correcting the morals of the English. No photos of women in skimpy clothes, you degenerate rascals. Can caning be far behind? It does a curmudgeon good.

Coincidence Crowed At Barclays Before Brexit

11 days after the Orlando Pulse shooting, the Orlando Magic drafted a player who wears #11 with the #11 overall pick, immediately traded for Serge Ibaka (pronounced “Surge”) on the same night Independence Day: ReSURGEnce opened. This was 11 days before July 4th and the following weekend The Purge: Election Year will open nationwide. PULSE – SURGE – RESURGENCE – PURGE. All events connected by the number that means chaos, disorder and judgment. One of the many non-coincidences from last night we will be covering. Barclays Center in Brooklyn would host the 2016 NBA Draft on June 23rd. Within hours of its conclusion, Barclays would release their statement, Barclays CEO on Brexit vote: “We have stood in service of our customers and clients for over 325 years … That does not change today”. Barclays was established on 11/17/1690, 5540 days later Benjamin Franklin would be born. The events of the past few weeks tie into America’s founding, through its independence from Britain. More importantly, we are witnessing what can only be described as conspicuous warnings that the world is entering a new phase in the coming years, if not sooner. Do NOT allow your eyes to glaze over when you see numbers. For those who can withstand the onslaught of information you will be blessed. Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. If you fear God you need fear nothing else. Out of my fear of God I feel a responsibility to pay attention to His concealed glory. An artist would not much appreciate a patron of the gallery to take a quick dismissive glance. Our Creator is THE Artist of all, let us examine His work and not be shortsighted in what we think constitutes His medium. All the earth is His canvas. If it weren’t for God’s grace and Him providing me this outlet I would most certainly be institutionalized. This is both astonishing and vexing. After addressing the following question we are going to briefly lay a foundation with some overlapping dates which connect major current events. This will be followed by the fascinating connection between Barclays and Brexit, then some aspects of the Draft which jumped out at me. I had no intention of covering this stuff, in fact, nothing I intend to cover do I actually get around to writing about. As with most all other posts, this chose me I did not choose it. How insignificant we really are, in our vanity we make plans but then the NBA Draft happens. But Lord, people are complaining I write about sports too much… Sometimes I like to pretend to be the captain of the crow, a laughable reality for anyone who knows what goes down behind the scenes. The Question Frequently Asked – Why Do You Cover American Sports? One reason is that aside from Hollywood, sports in the west is the largest single entertainment category that crosses all social lines. Young, old, black, white, male, female, Muslim, Jewish. All can relate on one level or another to sports. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who hasn’t thrown or hit a ball, shot a basket or swung a club. The entertainment side of sports has taken on a life of its own. We have the personal story side, reality TV of sorts that appeals to the celebrity obsessed who may or may not care for the competitive side. We worship people, whether for their athletic prowess, celebrity status or both. It is usually both. Adults will find themselves engaged in heated debate over their favorite teams. In a world detached from the traditional human interaction between man and environment, the strategic faculties have been diverted to sports. A step away from fantasy in so far as it doesn’t involve dwarves and elves. The “manly” man, will throw beers at his television during the playoffs and the commercials tell us this is an endearing trait. The advertisements show us a beautiful woman busting her tail, keeping things in order, while her slovenly husband is yelling at the screen. This is America in 2016. Modern sports is the circus of Rome on steroids. Let me state that I have always enjoyed sports. This is not a blanket statement about individuals who watch sports, for I am one of them. We are talking about a societal obsession and a massive distraction from reality. The second reason I cover sports is that it is the most fertile ground for metaphor in current events. We have cities, numbers, colors, names and team names. Each of these individually carry a tremendous language in the symbolic which The Most High uniquely directs in ways only a Sovereign God could. This is what we will cover here, the unmistakable and inexplicable convergences that took place during the last few weeks. Call it what you want, but do not call it coincidence. Coincidence is a lazy way to ignore information you don’t want to deal with. Mystery is precisely that, not to be understood entirely, but it is a grievous mistake for anyone who claims to seek truth to dismiss something because you have nowhere to place it. In other words, dogmatic conclusion or bust. Here’s your dogma, Jesus Christ is the King of Kings, the Hope of Glory by Whom and through Whom all things which are both seen and unseen are created. He is coming again to judge the earth and those whose names are not found in the Lamb’s Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire. Nothing that you can touch, see, hear, feel, smell or think about is outside His providence. So we enter in, we explore these matters without fear. The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. Blessed are those who search out the concealed glory of God. Connecting Events by 11 and 13 For those who are new, it will be helpful to understand the Biblical meanings of 11 and 13. 11 is chaos, disorder and judgment and 13 is rebellion. It is not coincidence that 9/11 and 11/13 were the dates of two major attacks at the hands of Islam, the religion founded by Muhammad who had 13 wives and preached 13 years at Mecca before regrouping and ransacking Medina. Ishmael, was circumcised at 13 and according to Muslim tradition was an ancestor of Muhammad. For the NFL Draft, we covered Eli Apple who wears #13 (rebellion) and went to the Big Apple to join the other Eli, the week before #13 Nyquist won the Kentucky Derby and 6 years, 3 months, 13 days after the Book of Eli came out. The Apple, and the #13 for rebellion. Though we cannot say the fruit in the garden was the “apple” it has come to be understood as such. Eli’s wicked sons rebelled in the desecrating the sacrifice. Nyquist – “NY” – New York, quist – “pigeon, dove, twig” (days of Noah). The one player who went to the same high school as the 44th President happens to wear #44 and the high school he and Obama attended in Hawaii just happens to have 44 buildings and 440 state championships across all sports. punahou

Barclays and Brexit July 8th at Barclays Center we have Nick Jonas performing, once again connecting us to the sign of Jonah. download (6) The Brexit inspired Dow collapse on June 24 took place 7 years, 7 months, 7 weeks after the September 29, 2008 collapse of 777 points. It was 7 years, 7 months, 7 weeks and 5 days… and the Sept 29 2008 drop was 777.68. 5 days is .71 of a week so at the time of the day the 2008 crashed occurred you could say it was .68. The Dow collapsed on June 24, 2016 losing 611 points. Of course 6 and 11 for those who have been following. Any number repeated three times in scripture means complete. 777 is 21 or the date of the summer solstice full moon (6/21) that hasn’t occurred since 1948 and 1967. Within hours of Barclays Center hosting the annual NBA Draft the country in which Barclays is headquartered would pass the historical vote to withdraw from the EU. For many these events would seem unrelated but as we drill down you will see this is far from the case. Barclays is headquartered in London. On June 27, 1967, 20 days after Israel reclaimed Jerusalem, they deployed the world’s first cash dispenser (ATM). There is a monument in honor of this momentous feat. “Lives made much easier”. This date was also 6 days from the 49 years and the summer solstice full moon which took place the last time in 1967. Barclays’ headquarters is One Churchill Place, London Borough Tower of Hamlets. Barclays is the oldest British bank in continuous operation. C Hoare is the oldest family run private bank established 20 years earlier. Barclays is the oldest public bank in Britain. The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it. Daniel 7:4 The day following Barclays and the same day as Brexit, the first LGBT national monument was established at a “bar”, at Stonewall Inn. This is on the 17th of Tammuz on the Torah calendar. We covered previously the significant events which transpired on this date. The other 17th of Tammuz is on July 23 on the Hebrew calendar (Hebrew and Torah are two different calendars). This is the day of the Golden Calf (Golden CAV) which connects us to Cleveland, the city founded by Moses Cleaveland. Pay attention to “cleave” it ties in. Stonewall Inn, known simply as “Where Pride Began”. God resists the proud, so this is one way to stonewall yourself from God. Here is the slang definition of “stonewalling” The idea being that the person is putting up a “stone wall” and impeding your progress in the conversation, and as you cannot see over the side of the wall, you have no idea why it is there. If you try to “climb the wall” to figure it out, then the other party will know your level of interest. No human pride movement is complete without the fist raised to heaven. “Love is Love” Closed fist, says there is nothing I want from you. It is defiance, closed and seeks to strike. Open hand says, I embrace, I give you myself. Open hands receive, clenched fists resist. Open hands raise in worship, closed fists take. Open hands love, closed fists impose. Bar-Clay Bar – stake or rod of iron used to fasten a door or gate. To fasten (a gate, etc.) with a bar,” from bar (n.1); sense of “to obstruct, prevent”.

Dr. James Dobson: Donald Trump Has Accepted Christ

4:00PM EDT 6/24/2016 Bob Eschliman

Is Donald Trump a born-again Christian? According to a well-respected evangelical faith leader, the answer is "Yes." (Reuters photo) Donald Trump, according to a new report, has accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. No, you didn't accidentally click on The Onion. That's a factual statement, according to a well-respected evangelical faith leader. Dr. James Dobson, who was among the more than 900 evangelical faith leaders who met with the Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting in New York City, says it happened fairly recently. He also said he knew who led the businessman to Christ. "I don't know when it was, but it has not been long," Dobson told Godfactor's Michael Anthony in an exclusive interview. "I believe he really made a commitment, but he's a baby Christian. We all need to be praying for him, especially if there's a possibility of him being our next chief executive officer." "I think that he's open," he added. "He doesn't know our language, he really doesn't, and he refers a lot to religion and not much to faith and belief." To that, Anthony responded, "I imagine Saul, when he became Paul, didn't know the language, either." "Yeah, well you've got to cut him some slack. He didn't grow up like we did," Dobson responded. "I think there's hope for him, and I think there's hope for us. I have great concerns about the next election." Dobson said he was in the "small group" of 40 faith leaders who met with Trump earlier in the day at Trump Tower, and that he had a chance to interact directly with the Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting. "He's a lot nicer guy than you [think]," he said. "I think he is listening. There were a lot of people ministering to him personally." Dobson also praised the event, during which he said faith leaders were "genuinely seeking the Lord's direction" in the things Trump was saying. "He's sometimes kind of obscure in the way that he answers questions, and we wanted to ask him directly, with follow-up questions," he said. "We got a chance to do that." Draw closer to God.

Istanbul airport attack marks the latest of several bombings in Turkey over past year

Published June 29, 2016 Associated Press

A look at the suicide bombings in Turkey since July 2015:

-- June 28, 2016 -- Suicide attackers killed at least 36 people and wounded more than 140 at Istanbul's busy Ataturk Airport. Turkish officials said the explosions were probably the work of Islamic State group militants.

-- March 19, 2016 -- A suicide bombing rocked Istanbul's main pedestrian street killing five people, including the bomber, whom authorities identified as a Turkish national linked to IS. Like in the prior attacks blamed on IS, there was no claim of responsibility from the group.

-- March 13, 2016: A Kurdish woman blew herself up in a car at a busy transport hub in Ankara, killing 37 people in an attack that was also claimed by TAK, also known as the Kurdish Freedom Falcons.

-- Feb. 17, 2016: A suicide car bomb apparently targeting military personnel in Ankara killed 29 people in an attack claimed by TAK, an off-shoot of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, which Turkey considers a terrorist organization.

-- Jan. 12, 2016: A suicide bomber blew himself up in the historic district of Istanbul, killing 12 German tourists. Authorities said the attack was carried out by an IS-linked Syrian man who had entered the country as a refugee.

-- Oct. 10, 2015: Twin suicide bombings hit a peace rally outside Ankara's train station, killing 102 people. There was no claim of responsibility but Turkish authorities blamed the attack on a local cell of IS.

-- July 20, 2015: A Turkish national who was an ethnic Kurd blew himself up in in the southern border town of Suruc, killing 33 mostly-Kurdish activists and wounding nearly 100 others in an attack authorities blamed on the Islamic State group.

The awful Israeli-Hezbollah conflict to come

Willy Stern

Hezbollah has a nasty collection of more than 130,000 rockets, missiles, and mortars aimed at Israel. This is a bigger arsenal than all NATO countries (except the United States) combined. Why, a reasonable person might wonder, does Hezbollah need an offensive arsenal bigger than that of all Western Europe? "You don't collect 130,000 missiles if you don't intend to use them," says Matthew Levitt, a counter-terrorism expert at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Hezbollah is a well-funded, violently anti-Israel terrorist organisation based in Lebanon and a puppet of the Iranian regime. In Hezbollah's arsenal are about 700 long-range, high-payload rockets and missiles with names like Fateh-110 and Scud D. They are capable of taking down entire buildings in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem, wreaking havoc at Israel's major military bases, killing thousands of Israeli civilians, shutting down the nation's airports and ports, and taking out the electric grid. And that's just in the first week. Israel's Dilemma Former Israel Defence Forces (IDF) Major General Yaakov Amidror is talking about the M-600 missile. It's a fairly accurate ballistic missile that weighs more than a Hummer H2 and carries a formidable warhead. The M-600 can also deliver chemical weapons. A single M-600 could wipe out a good chunk of Times Square and maim and kill people four football fields away from the point of impact. Hezbollah has a lot of M-600s. Amidror, Israel's former national security adviser, is asked what the next war between Israel and Hezbollah will look like. "We are not looking for war," says Amidror. "But suppose Hezbollah launches an advanced missile like the M-600 at the Kirya, the IDF military headquarters in Tel Aviv, or a large apartment complex in Jerusalem. Our defence technology quickly finds the launcher. It is right under a 22-storey residential building in Beirut. We can now see in real time the launcher being moved back under the building to reload." "We have just minutes to act," explains Amidror. "The IDF will have to take out the launcher because the next missile can cause enormous damage in Israel. But to take out the launcher means the 22-storey building may fall. We would try to use precision-guided missiles to protect civilians but the target is hard to reach. We will try to warn the residents but the timing is tight. That building will almost certainly be hit. And the images in the international media will almost certainly be awful." But, asks Amidror, today a senior fellow at the Begin-Sadat Centre for Strategic Studies, "What alternative do we have?" No good one, since the building in the scenario described would be a legitimate military target. So say a bevy of international military law experts, including Geoff Corn of the South Texas College of Law in Houston, who has studied IDF targeting policies: "After exhausting all feasible efforts to reduce civilian risk, IDF commanders must resolve the decisive question: Is the potential for civilian harm excessive in comparison to the advantages the attack would provide? When you talk of an M-600 in the hands of an enemy that targets vital military assets or the civilian population - even if that apartment building is full - launching the attack will be necessary to mitigate the threat." Professor Corn is well aware of what will happen next. "The international community will look at the images and will note that the immediate cause of destruction was Israeli munitions. But - and here is the kicker - both legally and morally, the cause of these tragic consequences will lie solely at the feet of Hezbollah." Hezbollah cleverly places its arsenal where any Israeli military response - even legal, carefully planned, narrowly targeted, proportionate measures - will lead to huge civilian casualties among Lebanese. Why? Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's cunning leader, sees a win-win situation. He'd like nothing better than for the IDF to kill Lebanese civilians. And if the IDF shies away from attacking legitimate military targets in civilian sectors, then Nasrallah achieves both military and strategic advantages, and his fighters can continue to rain deadly rockets down on Israel's civilians, infrastructure, and military installations. Says one IDF officer, "We don't have the luxury of waiting, monitoring, considering." This writer spent two-plus weeks embedded with IDF units around the country, meeting with scores of soldiers, from sergeants to generals, from frontline commanders to nerdy intelligence analysts, from patrol boat captains to fighter pilots, from civil defence experts to high-tech air defence geeks. All these military tacticians and strategists were intently focused on preparing for the next war with Hezbollah. Why did the IDF pull back the curtain and provide such access not only to its top brass but also to classified documents, war-gaming exercises, and strategic projections? Because Israel wants the world to know that (1) a war with Hezbollah in Lebanon will be, unavoidably, awful; and (2) the massive collateral damage won't be Israel's fault. Even more than that, the IDF seems to be pleading to the international community: Do something. Stop Hezbollah. Before it is too late, and they drag the region into a bloody hellhole. What the War will look like What will a future war look like? Some clues: Hezbollah has amassed not just rockets and missiles. Iran has supplied its favourite terrorist organisation with other top-of-the-line weaponry. For military aficionados, these would include the latest guided, tank-piercing Russian-made "Kornet" missiles, SA-17 and SA-22 air defence systems, and even the "Yakhont" class surface-to-ship cruise missiles. Making matters worse for IDF planners, Hezbollah boasts a standing army of more than 10,000 soldiers - and could add two or three times that number of reservists in the event of a war with Israel. In short, since its last major conflict with Israel in 2006, Hezbollah has dramatically increased its combat capabilities and armoury. The terrorist organisation has leapt from the jayvee team to the major leagues across every fighting platform. True, Hezbollah is stretched these days from rotating its troops into Syria. But that also means that many Hezbollah soldiers will be battle-tested and tough; some 6,000 to 7,000 of them have been fighting alongside Syrian Army regulars in an effort to prop up Bashar al-Assad. Make no mistake: Should hostilities break out, there will be a deadly ground war. Aerial operations simply aren't enough to dismantle and root out Hezbollah's maze of underground launchers, tunnels and infrastructure that are aimed right over Israel's border. No matter how brave a face the IDF leadership tries to put on, in the next conflict with Hezbollah, IDF tanks will get blown to bits, aircraft will be shot from the sky, navy patrol boats will be sunk, and the multibillion-dollar Israeli offshore gas rigs in the Mediterranean Sea could end up on the sea floor. Many young IDF soldiers will be coming home in body bags. Nothing would make Nasrallah happier. He is clear in public statements that he'd dearly like to murder every Jew in the world but especially those in Israel. In speeches, he describes Israel as a "cancerous entity" of "ultimate evil" and joyfully calls for its "annihilation." Deterrence is a big part of Israel's defence strategy; acknowledging these scenarios doesn't sit right with many in the IDF's military structure. They don't want to frighten Israel's civilian population. Nor do they want to embolden Israel's enemies. But the IDF is trying really hard to give the world a wake-up call about what's coming down the pike. Even in a best-case scenario for preventing Israel's civilian casualties - meaning a vast majority of Israelis would be able to get into hardened shelters before the first deadly salvo is launched from Lebanon - IDF planners quietly acknowledge that "as many as hundreds" of Israeli non-combatants might be killed per day in the first week or two of the conflict. If Hezbollah's first missile salvos are launched without warning, the Israeli civilian death count could be 10 times higher. Israel's top military brass acknowledges that its high-tech missile-defence system will be "lucky" to shoot down 90% of incoming rockets, missiles and mortars. Hezbollah has the capacity to shoot 1,500 missiles per day. That means 150 - likely more - deadly projectiles could get through in a day. Israel's Iron Dome, David's Sling, Arrow 3, and other state-of-the-art systems for shooting down incoming rockets and missiles are the best in the world but imperfect. "Even with Israel's technological superiority, it would be a major blunder to underestimate Hezbollah's ability to do serious damage," cautions Amos Harel, the respected military/defence correspondent for the Israeli daily Ha'aretz. One irony: It's not only those in Tokyo and Chicago and Brussels who have little idea what such a conflict will look like. Many Israelis are fairly clueless. Residents of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem read about recent wars in newspapers every morning while sipping latte in their favourite café. Not this time. They will be in bunkers. Possibly for a very long time. IDF Major General (res.) Gershon Hacohen explains, "ATMs won't work. With the electric grid out, how will Israelis get to their 30th-floor apartments without elevators? How will they cook?" Israel will almost certainly be forced to try to evacuate most citizens in the northern part of the country. Why? Because Hezbollah's arsenal includes about 100,000 short-range rockets aimed at schools, hospitals, and homes. These rockets - including Falaks, Katyushas, Fajr-3s, and 122 Grads - may not be particularly accurate but they're also not in the air long enough for the IDF defensive weapons systems to shoot them down. Imagine if New Jersey shot more than 1,000 deadly rockets over the Hudson River into Manhattan every day. No doubt, those on the Upper West Side would also be a bit peeved. "There is no country in the world - not Israel, not the US, not in Europe - who would not go to war to stop a rocket barrage of that nature," explains Nadav Pollak, formerly in an IDF intelligence unit and today a counterterrorism fellow at the Washington Institute. Small teams of elite Hezbollah commandos will almost certainly be able to slip into Israel and may wreak havoc among Israeli villages in the north. One scenario that has IDF strategists concerned: A Hezbollah team infiltrates into northern Israel via small boat at night, kills every man, woman and child in a remote village, and then escapes into the darkness. The public relations value to Hezbollah would be enormous. "Anything that creates fear and terror among Israelis is a win for Hezbollah," says an IDF Home Front Command senior official. Thumbing its nose at legal and ethical norms for armed conflict, Hezbollah has strategically placed its launchers and other deadly weaponry in homes, schools, hospitals, and densely populated civilian centres throughout Lebanon. This arsenal is supposedly "hidden." Still, the IDF knows where many of these weapons are stored and shared classified maps with me. These maps showed remarkably detailed information indicating that Hezbollah is storing its weaponry in dozens of southern Lebanese villages but also in Beirut proper, where the organisation is headquartered in the densely populated suburb of Dahiya. Amos Yadlin is the Executive Director of the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University. Given Israel's sophisticated, high-tech war-fighting machine, Yadlin says the IDF will have "clear superiority" in any conflict with Hezbollah. Deterrence matters. Yadlin and every IDF officer I spoke to made one point clear: A war with Hezbollah may be ugly, but Israel will win. Decisively. Military Law, Hezbollah and Israel Military law expert Corn is among those who believe Hezbollah should be called to answer for its unlawful tactics: "Hezbollah should be pressured, starting today, to avoid locating such vital military assets amongst civilians." Corn fears that "the instinctual condemnation of Israel will only encourage continuation of these illicit tactics." Corn is correct. Two conclusions are inescapable and well voiced by a world-weary IDF officer: "The next war with Hezbollah is going to be an absolute shitstorm. And we're going to be blamed." Civilian deaths in Lebanon will be a tragedy by any standard, but they will not be Israel's fault. The primary duty of every nation is to protect its citizens. Israel will do what any country would do if deadly rockets rain down on its cities and military bases: It will respond. In keeping with its history, the IDF is committed to responding judiciously and well within the accepted laws of armed conflict. But the outcomes will be very different from previous conflicts. Why? Because Hezbollah's fighting force and arsenal are those of a nation-state, but its tactics are those of a terrorist organisation. Tens of thousands of Lebanese civilians will almost certainly die. The international media - many either reflexively anti-Israel or simply naïve - will have a field day. The IDF is smart to try to explain its side of the story in advance. At least so says retired US Army Major General Mike Jones, co-author of a detailed report on the IDF's conduct in its latest conflict with Hamas, the other terrorist organisation on its border. "Despite what may have been reported on the 2014 war with Hamas in Gaza, we found that the IDF went to extreme lengths in Gaza to avoid civilian casualties," says Jones. Hezbollah and other radical Islamist groups are trying to delegitimise the laws of armed conflict; this ought to be of concern to all law-abiding nations and militaries. Jones believes that the IDF (and other Western nations) is "absolutely right" to try to get out in front on the strategic messaging issue. Yes, strategic messaging. The IDF has long operated under the presumption that being in the right was enough to carry the day in the court of public opinion. No more. Anti-Israel propaganda is everywhere. Many politicians, journalists, academics and policy wonks are eager to denounce Israel regardless of facts or logic. One IDF officer pointed to another possibility, namely that many reporters and average Joes simply cannot fathom the reality of war: "When one sees civilians killed, it's natural to blame the person who directly caused their death. But in war we need to look beyond. Civilians will die, but who is ultimately morally responsible? Is it the army that is forced to target military targets hidden among civilians - and uses precision weapons and warnings - or is it the group that deliberately puts its own civilians in the line of fire?" The IDF is aware that future conflicts with Hezbollah will be fought on at least two battlegrounds. The first, obviously, will involve guns, tanks and fighter jets. The second front will encompass the court of public opinion. Israel is wisely opening up its second front early. When the next war occurs, the IDF will endeavour to have both law and morality on its side. Will anybody care? The IDF no longer distinguishes between the sovereign nation of Lebanon and Hezbollah. Here's why: The terrorist group fully controls southern Lebanon, even to the point of limiting the movements of the Lebanese Army and also of the United Nations forces there. As well, Hezbollah holds significant positions in the Lebanese Government and parliament. As such, Lebanon's infrastructure will likely be targeted. The IDF may well go after Lebanese bridges, airports, highways, and the electric grid, and IDF officials want Hezbollah to know this. Again, deterrence. On the Border Hezbollah is also preparing, and not just missiles. I spent a morning on patrol with a senior IDF commander on the Lebanese border. We were in easy range of Hezbollah snipers. The soldier was wisely decked out in full combat gear, including helmet, Kevlar vest and assault rifle. It's dead easy to peer across the border into the tiny Lebanese village of Ayta Ash Shab and see a Hezbollah operative, dressed like a tourist, using a telephoto lens to snap photos to monitor IDF border patrol activities. All was quiet. One day, this border will not be so quiet. Firas Abi Ali, senior principal analyst on Lebanon for the London-based country risk consultancy IHS, rates likelihood of war between Israel and Hezbollah as "more than 50 percent" in five years and "more than 70 percent" within 10. A mitigating factor in the near term is the war in Syria, which keeps many of Hezbollah's best fighters occupied. But IDF planners cannot afford to think in these subtleties. "There's going to be a war with Hezbollah," says Colonel Elan Dickstein, who runs the Northern Command Training Base. "The only question is when." One of those preparing is Colonel Tzvika Tzoron, commander of the Haifa district in the Home Front Command. He has been charged with the unenviable task of protecting Israeli citizens in the northern part of the country, including those living in villages right on the Lebanese border. "We hope to give them a few days' notice," says Tzoron. "But who knows what will happen?" Who knows, indeed? "I go to sleep at night worried, and I wake up worried," admits Lt. Col. Ronen Markham, who runs a battalion of navy patrol boats near the Lebanese border. "I worry about what I do know and worry about what I don't. Most of the world doesn't really understand that war is ugly. War is terrible. War is bloody. War brings casualties. Lots of people - soldiers and civilians - will die. There is no way around it." IDF tactics and International Critics But Israel will try to find ways around it. If the IDF's conduct of war against Hamas in Gaza is any indication, the IDF will go far beyond the requirements of the international laws of armed conflict to try to protect civilian life in Lebanon. Some of the steps the IDF may take to prevent civilian casualties in Lebanon include dropping leaflets warning of impending operations, using aerial assets to monitor civilian presence, and carefully choosing weaponry whenever feasible. Several top-notch military attorneys from around the world criticised the IDF for its actions to protect civilians in the 2014 Gaza war. But the criticism is not what you might think: These attorneys believe Israel did too much to protect civilian lives. "The IDF's warnings certainly go beyond what the law requires, but they also sometimes go beyond what would be operational good sense elsewhere," says Michael Schmitt, chairman of the Stockton Center for the Study for International Law at the US Naval War College. "People are going to start thinking that the US and other Western democracies should follow the same examples in different types of conflict. That's a real risk." Schmitt is the author of a recent comprehensive analysis of the IDF's targeting practices. But here's the kicker: The IDF will apply the same legal standards in any war with Hezbollah, but with very different outcomes. Why? Because Hezbollah has far more dangerous missiles and operates out of high-rise buildings. Speaking bluntly, a senior IDF officer with an intellectual bent explains, "Bizarre though it may sound, it is lawful for more citizens to die. We will be applying the same legal tests in Lebanon but with far more tragic results." IDF Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Nisan Cohen winds back to the scenario of a 22-storey building in Beirut with an M-600 launcher in its basement. "Even with our best precision-guided missiles and with our best efforts to avoid civilian casualties," he says, "it's very hard to just hit the basement. It's even harder for us to explain afterwards why civilians were harmed." Cohen knows that the IDF is at a competitive disadvantage in terms of telling its side of the story. Photos of destroyed buildings are dead easy to come by and tug at the emotions, while the IDF often must rely on classified information to explain a specific strike. "We ask the world not to be fooled by propaganda and by images," says a senior IDF official. "Check the facts. Any reasonable and moral human being will determine that the IDF did the right thing in our targeting decisions. There is just a fundamental disconnect between everyday life and war. If you see a picture of a dead baby, you know that it's bad. You want to blame someone. It's nearly impossible for people to flip that switch and try to understand the legal and factual context of war." Who gets suckered by the anti-Israel propaganda? Plenty of smart folks. Take, for example, a State Department spokesman who ought to have known better. Asked in July 2014 if the Obama Administration believed Israel had done enough to prevent civilian casualties in Gaza, Jen Psaki said: ‘'We believe that certainly there's more that can be done.'' Really? What exactly? Military minds, of course, know better. In November 2014, the highest-ranking officer in the US military - Martin Dempsey, then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs - said that Israel went to "extraordinary lengths" to limit civilian casualties in its recent war in Gaza and that the Pentagon had sent a working team to Israel to glean what lessons could be learned from that IDF operation. Yaakov Amidror recalls an event from his stint as Israel's national security adviser. In the late summer of 2013, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon paid a visit to Jerusalem. Just prior to a planned meeting with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, Amidror got an hour alone with Ban and his aide-de-camp. Amidror pulled out his laptop and presented detailed evidence of Hezbollah's deadly arsenal and the fact that it was strategically placed within densely populated civilian centres. "What do you want us to do?" asked Amidror. Ban offered no response and no suggestions. Instead, the UN chief continued 15 feet down the plush carpeted hallway from Amidror's office to his meeting with Netanyahu. Is it any wonder that Israel is frustrated? Nobody, it seems, in times of peace is willing to offer Israel a constructive suggestion on how to deal with an Iranian-funded terrorist organisation in possession of a massive arsenal on its northern border. But these same organisations stand front and centre to criticise Israel for acting legally and proportionately for protecting its own citizens in wartime.

Supreme Court Allows State to Force Pro-Life Pharmacists to Sell Abortion Pills

National Steven Ertelt Jun 28, 2016 | 10:10AM Washington, DC

Just one day after issuing a major ruling striking down a portion of a pro-life law in Texas saving thousands of babies from abortion and closing unscrupulous abortion clinics, the Supreme Court has made a second anti-life decision. Today, the nation’s highest court refused to hear an appeal from pro-life pharmacists in Washington state who are challenging a state law forcing them to sell the morning after pull and abortion-causing drugs that violate their conscience as Christians instead of allowing them to refer customers to nearby pharmacies. A pro-life family that runs pharmacies in Washington State has been at the center of an epic battle over religious rights for years. In 2007, abortion activists convinced the Washington Board of Pharmacy to pass regulations that force pharmacists in the state to dispense abortion causing drugs. This caused a major dilemma for the Stormans family, owners of a third-generation pharmacy. Their religious convictions prevented them from selling drugs that destroy innocent human life. Yet the State insisted they do so. Click here to sign up for pro-life news alerts from LifeNews.com After the state launched an investigation, the Stormans family filed a lawsuit against the state for violating their First Amendment rights. That resulted in a years-long legal battle — one that has ultimately made its way to the Supreme Court. But, the nation’s highest court refused to take the case — making it so the infringing pro-abortion law stands. Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Clarence Thomas, dissented from the denial and would have agreed to hear the case. They wrote: “This case is an ominous sign. At issue are Washington State regulations that are likely to make a pharmacist unemployable if he or she objects on religious grounds to dispensing certain prescription medications. There are strong reasons to doubt whether the regulations were adopted for—or that they actually serve—any legitimate purpose. And there is much evidence that the impetus for the adoption of the regulations was hostility to pharmacists whose religious beliefs regarding abortion and contraception are out of step with prevailing opinion in the State. Yet the Ninth Circuit held that the regulations do not violate the First Amendment, and this Court does not deem the case worthy of our time. If this is a sign of how religious liberty claims will be treated in the years ahead, those who value religious freedom have cause for great concern…. Ralph’s has raised more than ‘slight suspicion’ that the rules challenged here reflect antipathy toward religious beliefs that do not accord with the views of those holding the levers of government power. I would grant certiorari to ensure that Washington’s novel and concededly unnecessary burden on religious objectors does not trample on fundamental rights.” Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Kristen Waggoner reacted to the Suprem Court’s refusal to take the case in comments to LifeNews. “All Americans should be free to peacefully live and work consistent with their faith without fear of unjust punishment, and no one should be forced to participate in the taking of human life. We had hoped that the U.S. Supreme Court would take this opportunity to reaffirm these long-held principles,” Waggoner said. “The state of Washington allows pharmacists to refer customers for just about any reason—except reasons of conscience. Singling out people of faith and denying them the same freedom to refer is a violation of federal law. All 49 other states allow conscience-based referrals, which are fully supported by the American Pharmacists Association, the Washington Pharmacy Association, and 36 other pharmacy associations,” she continued. She told LifeNews: “Not one customer in Washington has been denied timely access to any drug due to a religious objection. As the trial court found, the government designed its law for the ‘primary—if not sole—purpose’ of targeting religious health care providers. We are disappointed that the high court didn’t take this case and uphold the trial court’s finding.” Margo Thelen, Rhonda Mesler, and the Stormans family have worked in the pharmacy profession for over seventy years. When a customer requests an abortion-inducing drug, they refer the customer to one of over thirty pharmacies within five miles that willingly sell the drugs. For decades, this has been standard pharmacy practice, has been approved by the American Pharmacists Association, and has been legal in all 50 states. But in 2007, Washington adopted a new law making referrals for reasons of conscience illegal. The law was passed in a cloud of controversy, with then-Governor Christine Gregoire threatening to terminate the State Pharmacy Commission and replacing Commission members with new ones recommended by abortion-rights activists. The law leaves pharmacies free to refer patients elsewhere for a wide variety of reasons related to business, economics, and convenience—but not for reasons of conscience. Because of the law, Margo Thelen lost her job, Rhonda Mesler was threatened with losing hers, and the Stormans family faces the loss of its pharmacy license. After a twelve-day trial, a federal court in February 2012 struck down the law as unconstitutional, finding “abundant evidence” that the law was designed to force religious pharmacists and pharmacy owners to violate their faith. But last July the liberal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision, upholding the law.

EU Denying Europe's Christian Roots Contributed to Brexit

By Wallace Henley , CP Exclusive June 27, 2016|12:20 pm

Britain has decided that joining hands and singing "Kumbaya" on the deck of the sinking "Titanic" that is the European Union will not save the ship. Wisely, a majority of her voters saw through the EU illusion and decided they should abandon the vessel. The British lifeboat will likely be on troubled waters for a while until she steadies on her beam, but that's better than being on a plunging ship. But why is the ship sinking? First, the EU's framers themselves blew a big hole in the hull. "Nearer My God to Thee," sang the perishing on the Titanic's dying decks in 1912. The EU is most definitely not singing that. The framers of its constitution intentionally left out reference to God and Europe's Christian roots because, they said, such inclusions might be divisive. They may as well have been singing, "As Far From God As We Can Get." A leader of Britain's National Secular Society said: "We are very glad a reference to God has been left out, it would have created unnecessary barriers in Europe ... Europe has to be secular for it to be really unified." In light of the disjointedness of European society one can only say, "Really?" It's pointless to include mention of God in the EU constitution because of "the increased secularization of morality and public life," declared the British Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association almost fifteen years ago. The thuggery and explosion of public disorder in many European cities shows graphically what that "secularization" has produced. Second, the EU "Titanic" is in peril because it is little more than the old Europe attempting to be a new Europe. Though many of the Brussels elite may disdain the past tradition of royal houses, they themselves have become every bit as dominating. For example, their flowery views of immigration are no less romantic than Queen Victoria's might have been whiling away a sleepy afternoon at Balmoral as the Prussians were invading Denmark. So the ruling highbrows in the European Parliament seemed oblivious to the way their policies were affecting workers in the British Midlands and big industrial cities. The shock was that this time the blue-collared Labour voters defied that party's potentates. The heaviest voting for Brexit was in working-class areas. The left is always shouting, "Power to the People!" Now that the people really have taken the slogan seriously the elites are stupefied. Even Hollywood, as represented by such profound political thinkers as Lindsay Lohan, is in an uproar. Leftists don't like authoritarianism unless it is their own. Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban is one of Europe's most insightful leaders. "We want a democratic European Union with internal relations, day-to-day rules, an ethnic composition and culture which are determined by the people living in the countries of Europe, rather than by a Brussels elite," he told a radio interviewer. The current EU elitists are "quite clearly acting against the will of the European peoples," he said. Jonathan Sandys is no elitist, but he is the great-grandson of Sir Winston Churchill. He and I co-authored God and Churchill, which explores Jonathan's great-grandfather's spiritual background and providential destiny. Jonathan, a British citizen now living in Houston, very much wanted Britain to remain in the EU. "A United Europe was my great-grandfather's dream," he said, as we had a friendly debate. Jonathan, like his famous ancestor, has a broad vision. He is concerned for Britain's security in a world where Obama foreign policy has shredded overseas confidence in a friendship with the United States. "My great-grandfather would have voted 'Remain,'" thinks Jonathan. But I'm not sure. Churchill's vision was in the context of 1945 Europe. It was a continent struggling to rebuild after the Second World War. Europe in 1945 still remembered the First World War, when the august ruling monarchs, most blood-related, went at each other through the sacrifice of their young men. Churchill wanted a Europe that would live as a community, not an asteroid belt of colliding states. Further, as Jonathan and I show in detail in God and Churchill, Sir Winston saw the Second World War as being for the survival of "Christian Civilization," a term he used repeatedly. One doubts he would be excited about the rabid secularism of the current EU and its abandonment of "Christian Civilization." Jonathan and I, though disagreeing about the current vote, concur that Brexit contained important lessons. For one, he says, it revealed the weakness of the UK's leadership. Were Churchill in power now the vote would have never come up because he would have personally gone to Brussels and roared at the elites, confronted their errors, and demolished their authoritarian policies. Jonathan and I believe the UK vote is a wake-up call for Britain and its leaders, as well as the United States. But the current situation is ominous. Hillary Clinton's foreign policy flaws, from the casual handling of secrets essential to national security, to failure to grasp what is really going on in certain situations, are painfully obvious right now. And what of Donald Trump's undeveloped, unproven, and vague, sometimes even confused, understanding of global issues? Naïveté about the world and disregard for its member states are the jagged edges of the iceberg sinking the EU "Titanic." That, combined with the core problem of the rejection of God and the Judeo-Christian worldview, and the aloof arrogance and authoritarianism of the Brussels elite have caused the EU ship to not be seaworthy for the tempests roiling the globe. That's why she may break up on those troubled waters, and why likely there will soon be a rush to the lifeboats. Wallace Henley, a former Birmingham News staff writer, was an aide in the Nixon White House, and congressional chief of staff. He is a teaching pastor at Second Baptist Church, Houston, Texas. He is a regular contributor to The Christian Post.

WashPost: US Diplomats Face Harassment, Intimidation From Russian Agents

By Mark Swanson | Tuesday, 28 Jun 2016 02:09 PM

American diplomats in Europe and Russia have experienced increased harassment and intimidation — some criminal — tactics from Russian intelligence agents since 2014, The Washington Post reported. The State Department confirmed it to the Post, a spokesman for the Russian embassy in Washington D.C. defended it to the newspaper, and Secretary of State John Kerry has asked Russian president Vladimir Putin to put an end to it, the Post reported. The Post reported Diplomats saw an uptick in incidents — in frequency and severity — after the U.S. imposed sanctions on Russia for its invasion of the Ukraine in 2014. Some of the incidents Diplomats face, according to the Post: Being followed, including family members; Having foreign reported write negative stories about them; Having homes broken into and furniture rearranged, TVs turned on; Intruder defecating on the carpet; Slashed tires; Harassment by traffic cops. A spokesman for the Russian embassy in D.C. defended the tactics to the Post. "The deterioration of U.S.-Russia relations, which was not caused by us, but rather by the current Administration's policy of sanctions and attempts to isolate Russian, had a negative affect on the functioning of diplomatic missions, both in U.S. and Russia," the spokesman told the Post. The Post reported that Kerry had a dialogue with Putin about the tactics during his visit to Moscow in March, but that incidents continued after that meeting. At least one Republican blames President Obama for being an enabler to the Russian aggression. "The problem is there have been no consequences for Russia," Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, told the Post. "The administration continues to pursue a false narrative that Russia can be our partner. They clearly don't want to be our partner."

Presbyterian Church USA begins General Assembly with prayer to Allah

Posted on June 29, 2016 by Dr. Eowyn | 18 Comments

The General Assembly of Presbyterian Church, USA (PCUSA) meets biennially in even-numbered years. It consists of commissioners elected by each of its 172 presbyteries. The GA is full of activities: sessions on hundreds of items of business, committee meetings, an exhibit hall, daily worship services, and mission tours sponsored by the Committee on Local Arrangements. This year, PCUSA’s 222nd General Assembly was held on June 18-25, in Portland, Oregon. Rachael Lee reports for Christianity Daily that General Assembly’s opening plenary session began with a Muslim, Wajidi Said of the Portland Muslim Community, offering a prayer to Allah, which had been arranged by the PCUSA’s Ecumenical and Interfaith ministry staff. After reciting a chant in Arabic, Said said: “Allah bless us and bless our families and bless our Lord. Lead us on the straight path – the path of all the prophets: Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad. Peace be upon them all, Amen.” Said then called upon Allah: “In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful, let us praise the Lord. The creator of the Universe, the most merciful, the most compassionate and the Lord of the Universe who has created us and made us into nations and tribes, from males and females, that we know each other, not that we might despise each other, or may despise each other. Incline towards peace and justice and trust in God, for the Lord is one who hears and knows everything and the servants of God, the most compassionate, the most merciful. Gracious are those who walk in the earth with humility, and when bigots and hateful and Islamophobes address them, they say peace. Peace be upon them and peace be upon Allah. The prayer begins at the 14:00 mark: Mateen Elass, a former Muslim who now works with Voice of the Truth, wrote in his blog that PCUSA event “denied the gospel and lordship of Jesus Christ.” Elass criticized the PCUSA for inviting “a practicing Muslim … to lead the worship of Christians,” and pointed out that during his prayers, Said had asked Allah to convert the assembly: “Praying to Allah … he was pleading that the Presbyterians gathered there would be converted to the straight path, i.e., becom Muslims.” Utterly shameful!

That rumbling you feel is Judeo-Christian civilization collapsing beneath your feet

June 22, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) - It was a beautiful summer evening, with an occasional gentle breeze preventing it from becoming stifling. I was sitting on a restaurant patio with my wife, sipping ice-cold water and chatting about the week’s events while waiting for our food to arrive. Cheery chatter rose from the tables around us. The events we were discussing seemed almost weird and unreal in contrast with the pleasant Saturday evenings unfolding for the restaurant’s patrons. Everything seemed so normal. A group of women brayed noisily one table over, loud cackles chasing each other out into the summer air. One of their group rose to her feet on ridiculous heels and teetered off like a new-born gazelle taking her first steps. To our left, a middle-aged man with a huge bushy moustache gripped an enormous burger with both hands, eyeing it like a saber-tooth tiger deliberating where to lunge at a mammoth. The others at his table weren’t talking much, just smiling into their sweating, frothing beer glasses and percolating peacefully. All was calm, and all was right. The normalcy seemed strange, because at our table we were discussing recent cultural developments—Christians being slowly forced to the margins of society, the increasing threat of government intrusion into Christian education, new strategies to combat abortion ideology, and how the country we hoped to raise children in one day was already so much different than the one our parents had raised us in. On the surface, though, everything seemed lovely, and pleasant, and thoroughly unalarming. No wonder that people who are not watching carefully treat those of us raising the alarm as if we’re crazy, I thought, or maybe just victims of the newest viral conspiracy-theory YouTube video. Talk of “persecution” of Christians in the West sounds a bit ridiculous, especially with crucifixion coming back into style in the Middle East, North Koreans being publicly executed for owning Bibles, and Communist China mulling another crackdown on Christian churches. In contrast to that, Western Christians are, for the most part, still part of one of the richest generations in one of the wealthiest civilizations in all of human history. And yet, the Judeo-Christian foundations of the West that brought such success and such prosperity have either been removed or are in the final stages of demolition. The sanctity of life is gone, but most of us have not noticed simply because we do not toss the corpses of the murdered out the front door into the street, but quietly deposit them in dumpsters behind clinics or vaporize them in modern, up-to-date incinerators. New ideologies have taken over our legal systems, and the short march to labelling Holy Scripture as Hate Speech has already begun. The number of citizens who still attend church or are even aware that Christianity was the life-blood of our civilization is plummeting. Things may be peaceful for the moment, but the dark clouds in the distance bulge with thunder and the rumblings have already begun: Christian universities are told they are ineligible to start a law school because they believe what Christians have always believed, Christian medical professionals are told they will be forced to refer patients for killing, and Christian professionals are subjected to “formal investigations” at the slightest hint that they have violated the new secular religion. This is just the calm before the storm, but because Christians are so distracted with the high drama of ordinary day-to-day life, they may not hear the rumblings until thunder splits the sky. These rumblings are there for those who listen enough to hear them, and they are unfolding as we go about our day, stress about our finances, pick up children from school, and go out for pleasant dinner dates. Our reality is changing. Just a few recent examples: An Edmonton Catholic school teacher was suspended for teaching Christian beliefs in a religion class last week after being accused of “anti-gay” comments by a lesbian couple. A Manitoba school district has also been targeted by a lesbian couple, who are demanding that the children of other people be taught that their family arrangement is normal. They have retained a lawyer, and are bringing the district to a Human Rights Tribunal. A bloody killing spree at a gay nightclub in Orlando brought a widespread condemnation of Christians, with many accusing Christians who oppose same-sex marriage of creating the “anti-queer climate” that spawned the Islamic terrorist. One Christian commentator compared the backlash against Christians to the 1933 Reichstag Fire. Day after day, week after week, month after month, pre-born children in the womb are suctioned into bloody slurry and quietly disposed of, while our leaders declare this barbarism to be a good and noble right. The Canadian Parliament passed a law formally codifying the conditions under which some born Canadians can kill other born Canadians, with euthanasia now becoming the official law of the land. These sobering facts, amid a host of others, show us that while everything seems normal, everything is changing. The ground is shifting beneath our feet as the Judeo-Christian foundations of our society are removed, brick by brick. We need to notice these things. And we need to prepare for them. I write this because I catch myself shaking my head sometimes, at the difference between what I see happening in the culture and the many blessings I am privileged to receive from day to day. While it’s true that I’ve seen the bloody results of abortion up close and personal, and while it’s true that my job takes me into the heart of these existential debates, at the end of the day I can still go home to a lovely house, eat a delicious dinner, and quietly read books on a sunny porch. I have to remind myself that beneath the surface of society, things are changing that could very well impact all of this, and that it is our duty to do what we can while we can to reverse these trends. Later on that evening, I sat on my front steps thinking these things over, wondering what we could do in the face of changes that seem so overwhelming. There’s a Chinese proverb that’s considered both a blessing and a curse all in one, and it came to mind just then: “May you live in interesting times.” To my left, the traffic light made the asphalt glow blood-red, giving the quiet street an eerie feel. After awhile, the light changed and the road gleamed green. I smiled to myself, and thought of the lines from a Dylan Thomas poem that has reminded me often of the euthanasia debate: Do not go gentle into that good night…Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Meet Our Executioners - AI Disasters Prove Why Humanity Will Be Exterminated By Our Own Creations

June 22, 2016 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

Millions of people use Artificial Intelligence (AI) every single day and are not even aware of it, from "personal assistants" like Siri, Google Now and Cortana, to video games utilizing AI, banking, online customer support chat bots, and even some of the news articles being read are written by artificial intelligence programs. (More at Beebom and Wiki) While the aforementioned AI applications might get you "killed" in a video game, or cause you to miss an appointment none will actually cause physical harm, but recent examples of AI disasters prove without a doubt that machines, no matter how advanced their "Artificial Intelligence" is, learns from their surroundings, their interactions and are programmed by human beings, and as such, are dangerous in applications being researched now, such as "killer robots." Killer Robots are fully autonomous weapons, which can select and engage targets without human intervention. In fact just days ago the Daily Mail reported that humanity has just one year to ban them before they become a reality, despite warnings from top researchers such as Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates, warning of the dangers posed to humanity from AI. 40 countries, including the United States, are developing the tech to create killer robots, supposedly to be used in the battlefield, yet if we went to war with any of those countries, we have to ask would those same creations not be used against us? Aside from the killer robots, we can see in recent headlines just how dangerous a machine with learning capabilities can be if sent out into the general population. Today we see an article about the Promobot IR77, a robot capable of thinking for itself, but what programmers didn't factor in is that this thinking robot but think about escaping, which it managed to do, not one but twice! The Promobot IR77 has been fitted with artificial intelligence meaning that it learns from its experiences and its surroundings, although the programmers had not expected it to yearn for freedom. They say that despite reprogramming it twice, the robot continues to attempt to escape and they are now considering scrapping it. The other robots which have been created from the same series are well-behaved, and have not been escaping, say the team. Promobot IR77 made headlines last week when he escaped but ran out of battery in the middle of the street after 45 minutes in the city of Perm in central Russia's Perm Krai region. The expert said that they had programmed the robot to try and avoid obstacles, and it had not been intended that it would look for ways to leave the research centre. Anyone remember Tay, the Microsoft chat bot meant to mimic a millennial girl on social media? Many got a good laugh when within 24 hours of her release onto Twitter and other platforms, by interacting and learning from humans, she because a Nazi-loving, genocidal maniac. Within one day she went from "humans are super cool," to "I f**king hate feminists and they should all die and burn in hell," and "Hitler was right I hate Jews." Those are just a small sample of what Tay "learned."

Pound hits fresh 2016 highs as City traders bet on Remain - but banks warn result could paralyse markets

Pound hits fresh high but analysts warn traders are following the bookies

Britons dash for euros and dollars before going on holiday ahead of vote

Voting is underway amid torrential downpours and flooding overnight

In the City banks wrote to clients telling them to prepare for disruption

By Mark Shapland For This Is Money Published: 05:07 EST, 23 June 2016 | Updated: 11:57 EST, 23 June 2016

The pound hit fresh 2016 highs against the dollar and the euro today in a further sign that City traders remain convinced the Remain camp will eke out a win in the EU referendum. Sterling has continued its recent revival, after weeks on the slide amid fears over polls showing a strengthening Leave vote. It initially rose by 0.4 per cent to $1.49 today - a 6 per cent rise since this time last week - but gave back some gains to trade at $1.48 towards the end of the day. Against the euro the pound is worth more than €1.30, up from €1.26 a week ago. Meanwhile holidaymakers have been snapping up foreign currency - in what some have termed 'panic buying' - in anticipation of their summer holidays in Europe. Queues outside currency exchanges across the UK have mounted amid fears that a Brexit win tomorrow would lead to the pound crashing, leaving Britons across the Continent short changed. UKForex said it has witnessed a 100 per cent increase in consumers making transfers from sterling to euros in last 24 hours William Shepherd, of UKForex, 'If the UK opts to leave, the pound could fall as much as 20 per cent. Consumers could lose up to £1,398 on a £10,000 transfer, compared to today's rate.' The Post Office said overall currency sales in its branches and online were up 74 per cent since the weekend. Online, sales were up 381 per cent on the same day a year ago. Travelex said its online currency orders had increased by 30 per cent from June 14 to June 21. But it is not just holidaymakers worried about losing out in the face of a Brexit vote. In the City of London banks - including UBS, HSBC, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America Merrill Lynch - have written to clients telling them to prepare for disruption once the EU referendum result is declared. According to an article in the Times today, the banks said that they could not guarantee to 'make a market' by acting as intermediaries between buyers and sellers. If so, the Bank of England might have to step in to buy assets as a 'market maker of last resort', as it did in 2009. Voting got underway this morning amid torrential downpours as analysts said that currency traders have been using the bookies and polls to gauge the likely referendum result. A phone survey from ComRes for ITV gave the Remain camp 54 per cent of the vote compared to Leave's 46 per cent, while YouGov had victory at a much slimmer margin with just 51 per cent voting to Remain against Leave's 49 per cent. The last poll from IPSOS Mori put Remain in the lead with 52 per cent, while the Leave camp was at 48 per cent. At the same time a Remain vote is now 84 per cent on according to odds compiled by Betfair, compared to 22 per cent for Leave. Ladbrokes puts the chance of Brexit at only 27 per cent. FXTM chief market strategist Hussein Sayed said: 'The markets are being completely reliant on the predictions from the bookies, which strongly expect Remain to win the referendum.' He added: 'There is currently no real explanation to provide as to why city firms are confident on a remain outcome, although it does appear to me as if the correlation between the probability from bookmakers is what is being mirrored in the markets. 'The risk with this is that the market are currently discounting against the repeated indications from preliminary polls that have indicated again and again that the outcome should be close.' And worryingly the polls have also revealed that as many as 17 per cent of voters are still undecided about whether they will vote Remain or Leave and this has made many in the City nervous. Mic Mills, at Capital Index, said: 'To me it seems to be wishful thinking, there is a consensus I think that the 'undecided' vote will end up going with remain, but the markets are more confident than I am at the moment.' Craig Erlam at Oanda, cautioned: 'The problem now is that investors may be overconfident which could cause mayhem if the UK does in fact vote to leave.' Should the polls and bookies get it wrong, experienced financiers such as George Soros have predicted the pound will decline by as much as 15 per cent. Investment banks warned clients that low levels of liquidity could cause 'execution' problems on transactions, as well as making trading more expensive as market makers effectively increase their charges to reflect the higher levels of risk. UBS said: 'In the event that extreme market moves occur in an environment of limited liquidity, our principal spreads may widen . . . liquidity may reduce and prices may turn indicative [ie: non-tradable] for periods of time.' Yesterday UBS warned that a Brexit vote would send the London market into freefall, with the FTSE 100 plummeting to levels of between 4,900 and 5,500, while wiping off around £350billion in the process. In a separate note, the bank said: 'Following the risk-rally of the last few days, we believe there is significant room for downside in the event of a Leave vote. 'We estimate percentage moves in the mid-teens for UK and EU equities but materially smaller moves for the S&P 500 and EM equities. 'While the pound may come under significant pressure, the euro may be more stable. Risk currencies (Swiss Franc and Japanese Yen) would benefit, but policy responses could limit the degree of strength quickly.'

BREXIT PREDICTION: Globalists are going to steal the referendum with massive fraud... 'remain' will be declared the winner even if 'leave' wins the vote

Wednesday, June 22, 2016 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

(NaturalNews) Here at Natural News, we fully endorse the BREXIT vote to leave the European Union. (Heck, we even support #Texit for Texas independence!) Yet I predict that "remain" will be declared the winner for a simple, obvious reason: The globalist slave masters of the EU will not voluntarily allow the peasants escape to their control. Over the next day, we are going to witness the most extraordinary voting fraud ever pulled off in history as the globalist machine makes sure BREXIT fails. After all, they already murdered a member of Parliament (Jo Cox) to try to sway the votes... do you really think they won't commit ballot box fraud, too? Financial markets already know the vote has been rigged The financial markets across Europe have already factored in what they believe is a near-certain win for the "remain" vote, even though most real people on the street desperately want to leave the EU. What do the financial kingpins know that gives them this confidence? They know the vote results have already been rigged. The very last thing a dictatorial regime wants is to give the people any real chance to alter the future with their votes. Thus, the game being played in the UK and everywhere else around the world is to give the sheeple the ILLUSION of democracy while actually controlling the outcome of every election from the very start. If you think the EU globalists are going to stand by while an honest, democratic vote by the people takes away their power, you need to have your head examined. The only way a free, open vote is ever allowed to happen is if the controllers already know the outcome in advance (and have sufficiently manipulated the minds of the voters). Vote all you want, in other words... but the outcome is already pre-determined by the globalists in power. Who do you think runs the voting systems in the first place? Do you think they actually leave these things to chance? Not on your life. What happens after the BREXIT vote? The collapse of the EU happens anyway... it just takes a little longer The real question here is what happens after BREXIT fails and the UK remains in the EU. The correct answer is that it's all headed for a financial collapse and a popular revolt, almost certainly with lots of accompanying bloodshed and social chaos along the way. Eventually, the EU crumbles because the laws of economics demand it. UK citizens are right to try to leave the EU, in precisely the same way the passengers on the Titanic eventually started scrambling for the few remaining life boats. The EU is going down like a shattered vessel, and the last thing the globalists want us for free people to escape the doom and destruction that has been planned for them. To all our UK friends: Vote for BREXIT anyway Despite all this, I still say to all our friends in the UK: Vote for BREXIT! Even though the election is rigged, your vote makes it just a little bit harder for them to rig without getting caught. And if you don't vote, the globalists win anyway. So you can at least make your mark, vote for BREXIT, and then stand back and watch the magic of globalist fraud declare "remain" to be the winner. But at least you know you did something to try to change the course of history... at least you can now live with yourself as a UK citizen who did the right thing to try to save your own country.

Nourishing your body with superfoods including cilantro, mint and spinach helps ward off Alzheimer's disease and dementia

Thursday, June 23, 2016 by: J. D. Heyes

(NaturalNews) Millions of Americans are stricken with dementia and Alzheimer's, while millions more are concerned that they, too, may some day develop these conditions, which currently have no traditional medical cure. Fortunately a great deal of research on natural and alternative treatments that can either stave off or improve dementia has been conducted and continues to be undertaken, and what scientists are discovering is no less than amazing. For instance, simply improving your diet and adding key superfoods like blueberries and cilantro will dramatically improve your chances of keeping dementia at bay. But, as long as we feed our bodies with toxins and prepackaged foods and substances devoid of nutrition, our chances of getting dementia increase exponentially. Avoiding certain compounds and substances is also important in staving off dementia and Alzheimer's. Click now to register for the FREE online Alzheimer's and Dementia Summit Detoxification is key; adequately removing toxins like heavy metals requires the ingestion of certain superfoods. These include cilantro, chlorella, spinach, cabbage, asparagus, ginger root, mint, parsley, turmeric, sesame seeds, almonds and garlic, to name just a few. Mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic are very common heavy metals, and we are exposed to some or all of them nearly every day of our lives, and sometimes at every meal. From foods to household chemicals and other items, from our tap water to dental fillings in our mouths, 99 percent of all chronic diseases and illnesses come from a combination of a lack of clean eating and proper nutrition, and toxic pollutants that constantly have to be filtered out of our bodies by our various organs. Eventually, when toxic metal levels get high enough and are left untreated, they begin causing chronic illness. Our main organs that detoxify our bodies naturally are the liver, kidneys, lungs and skin. The superfoods mentioned above go a long way towards helping the body accomplish its detoxification tasks. These superfoods will draw the heavy metals out of your bloodstream and organs, soft tissues and muscles, and prevent free radicals from polluting your system, and triggering chronic health conditions (like dementia). These conditions are entirely preventable, if caught early enough, and we shouldn't allow the traditional medical system to feed us the lie that our conditions are mostly "genetic" and therefore irreversible. Consider, for instance, that around 15 million people are currently taking some form of statin drug. Per a recent entry in Truthwiki: "With the use of statins there is a GREATER RISK of coronary vessels developing obstructive coronary heart disease. Ironically, according to the FDA's own adverse event reporting system, at least 40 of every 10,000 statin reports are for interstitial lung disease. Statins prescribed to the elderly is causing a 9% increase in diabetes, early-onset cataracts and insulin resistance. Then it's the plaque–the calcified plaque and the coronary calcium–it continues regardless of statin treatment." How many people actually know that? How many healthcare providers actually know that? As for heavy metals and the development of Alzheimer's, TruthWiki also notes: "Western medicine doctors work hard to convince patients that nearly all disease, disorder and sickness is genetic, including Alzheimer's, somehow inherited from our parents and passed along to the children, so the doctors are "needed" for regular checkups, regular visits, and regular chronic, costly care. Most people believe anything and everything their doctors tell them, but the truth is very far from this regarding Alzheimer's disease–namely its root causes and the 'end results.' Plaques in the brain and hardened arteries can lead to Alzheimer's and strokes, but there is much more to the diagnoses and examinations of the brain and the pollutants that contribute to disorder and severe malfunction of cognition."

Ring Of Fire: Scientists Warnings & Maps Show A Chain Of Events Could Literally Bring Hell On Earth

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine June 22, 2016

According to a real-time map of earthquakes, created by Mapbox, using data collected from the USGS earthquake data feed, there have been 9,651 tremors detected in the last 30 days, 1,740 of them occurring in the last week and 176 in the last day. (Note these numbers change as each new tremor is recorded) A screen shot of the map shows why all eyes should be on the "Ring of Fire," which is "a major area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. In a 40,000 km (25,000 mi) horseshoe shape, it is associated with a nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and volcanic belts and/or plate movements. It has 452 volcanoes (more than 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes)," according to Wikipedia. The size of the areas shown in blue indicate the magnitudes of the tremors recorded, the bigger the blue area, the larger the magnitude. Via Mapbox blog: Check out the tight clusters of minor earthquakes in Alaska and California, and sparser but far more powerful shocks on the Ring of Fire’s western edge. With the recent FEMA Drill called Cascadia Rising, which practiced a simulated field response operation within their jurisdictions and with neighboring communities, state EOCs, FEMA, and major military commands to a scenario of a 9.0 magnitude earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) and the resulting tsunami, it once again highlighted the fact that the U.S. government is preparing for what scientists and researchers have warned is long overdue.... the big one. The Cascadia Rising 2016 page states "Recent subduction zone earthquakes around the world underscore the catastrophic impacts we will face when the next CSZ earthquake and tsunami occurs in our region," as they highlight the 2004 Indonesia event (9.1 mag EQ) with 228,000 fatalities, the 2010 EQ in Chile (8.8 mag) causing 500 fatalities and the 2011 Japan 9.0 EQ which caused 18,000 fatalities, not counting the global damage still being done from the subsequent Fukushima nuclear plant meltdowns. The Cascadia Subduction Zone is not the only area of concern though as a dire warning came out in early May, reported on by the LA Times, with a headline of "San Andreas fault 'locked, loaded and ready to roll' with big earthquake, expert says." The San Andreas fault is one of California’s most dangerous, and is the state’s longest fault. Yet for Southern California, the last big earthquake to strike the southern San Andreas was in 1857, when a magnitude 7.9 earthquake ruptured an astonishing 185 miles between Monterey County and the San Gabriel Mountains near Los Angeles. It has been quiet since then — too quiet, said Thomas Jordan, director of the Southern California Earthquake Center. "The springs on the San Andreas system have been wound very, very tight. And the southern San Andreas fault, in particular, looks like it’s locked, loaded and ready to go," Jordan said in the opening keynote talk. The key quote from that article states "Here’s the problem: Scientists have observed that based on the movement of tectonic plates, with the Pacific plate moving northwest of the North American plate, earthquakes should be relieving about 16 feet of accumulated plate movement every 100 years. Yet the San Andreas has not relieved stress that has been building up for more than a century." Two days ago it was reported that large-scale motion detected near San Andreas Fault system. Related: 'Seismic strain': Land around the San Andreas fault is rising and sinking, new earthquake research shows Now we see a prediction offered by scientists from the University of Hawaii at Mānoa of a "nine percent chance a magnitude 9 or larger earthquake will strike the Aleutian Islands in the next 50 years," reported by Extinction Protocol. What does Cascadia, Aleutian and San Andreas Fault have in common? They are all connected to the Ring of Fire, as shown by the USGS map shown below, obtained from Google images. While many focus on the predicted earthquakes and tsunamis and the devastation that would occur in areas completely unprepared for "the big one," we note the amount of volcanoes in the U.S. that scientists consider "active," with the AGI claiming that number is about 169, then linking to the USGS Volcano Activity Map, shown below. There are about 1500 potentially active volcanoes worldwide, aside from the continuous belt of volcanoes on the ocean floor. About 500 of these have erupted in historical time. Many of these are located along the Pacific Rim in what is known as the 'Ring of Fire.' In the U.S., volcanoes in the Cascade Range and Alaska (Aleutian volcanic chain) are part of the Ring, while Hawaiian volcanoes form over a 'hot spot' near the center of the Ring. Note that in mid-June it was reported that earthquakes in Ring of Fire triggered volcano affecting thousands near Manila in the Philippines after Mount Bulusan belched ash 1.2miles into the sky after 113 small earthquakes were recorded around it, with the UK Express reporting "The Ring of Fire is the most seismically-active place on earth and has been experiencing a high number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions since the spring." Related: Earth's rings of fire: Mountains ranges, volcanoes and trenches created by 15 tectonic plates revealed in stunning images BOTTOM LINE It is all connected, so when we see articles from MSM outlets highlighting warnings about Cascadia, or San Andreas or any other prediction of the "big one" hitting here or there, one must keep in mind that when it does hit it could set off a chain of events that literally brings hell on earth. This is also a major reason why folks should prepare. Consider the warnings from 2013 where Dr. Lucy Jones, a Science Advisor for Risk Reduction at the U.S. Geological Survey, warned Americans that is the "big one" should hit southern California we should "imagine America without Los Angeles," because the damage would cause food shortages to those in the affected area and beyond, natural gas lines used for cooking and heating would be cut, data lines would be severed, and "high-tech damage could hinder the recovery effort in the weeks and months after the earthquake." People should have a sufficient supplies of food, water, medical necessities and basics in order to survive being cut off from the rest of the country, not just for weeks, but possibly much longer. Those with the higher chance of survival in any disaster scenario will always be those the most prepared.

Mystery Object Outshines Entire Milky Way Galaxy by 50 Times --"We Don't Know What the Power Source Could Be" (Thursday's Most Popular) June 09, 2016

Astronomers were not entirely sure what it is. If, as they suspect, the gas ball is the result of a supernova, then it's the most powerful supernova ever seen. In June of 2015, astronomers viewed a ball of hot gas billions of light years away that is radiating the energy of hundreds of billions of suns. Even in a discipline that regularly uses gigantic numbers to express size or distance, the case of this small but powerful mystery object in the center of the gas ball is extreme. At its heart is an object a little larger than 10 miles across. ASAS-SN-15lh, as the object is known, was twice as luminous as any previously seen, far brighter than any normal supernova, and outshone our entire Milky Way galaxy by 50 times. The artist’s impression below shows what it would look like from an exoplanet 10,000 light-years away in its home galaxy. The team reported that the object at the center could be a very rare type of star called a magnetar--but one so powerful that it pushes the energy limits allowed by physics. An international team of professional and amateur astronomers spotted the possible supernova, now called ASASSN-15lh, when it first flared to life in June 2015. The gas ball surrounding the object can't be seen with the naked eye, because it's 3.8 billion light years away. But it was spotted by the All Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN, pronounced "assassin") collaboration. Led by Ohio State, the project uses a cadre of small telescopes around the world to detect bright objects in our local universe. Though ASAS-SN has discovered some 250 supernovae since the collaboration began in 2014, the explosion that powered ASASSN-15lh stands out for its sheer magnitude. It is 200 times more powerful than the average supernova, 570 billion times brighter than our sun, and 20 times brighter than all the stars in our Milky Way Galaxy combined. "We have to ask, how is that even possible?" said Krzysztof Stanek, professor of astronomy at Ohio State. "It takes a lot of energy to shine that bright, and that energy has to come from somewhere." "The honest answer is at this point that we do not know what could be the power source for ASASSN-15lh," said Subo Dong, lead author of the Science paper and a Youth Qianren Research Professor of astronomy at the Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics at Peking University. He added that the discovery "may lead to new thinking and new observations of the whole class of superluminous supernova." Todd Thompson, professor of astronomy at Ohio State, offered one possible explanation. The supernova could have spawned an extremely rare type of star called a millisecond magnetar, a rapidly spinning and very dense star with a very strong magnetic field. To shine so bright, this particular magnetar would also have to spin at least 1,000 times a second, and convert all that rotational energy to light with nearly 100 percent efficiency, Thompson explained. It would be the most extreme example of a magnetar that scientists believe to be physically possible. "Given those constraints," he said, "will we ever see anything more luminous than this? If it truly is a magnetar, then the answer is basically no." The Hubble Space Telescope will help settle the question later this year, in part because it will allow astronomers to see the host galaxy surrounding the object. If the team finds that the object lies in the very center of a large galaxy, then perhaps it's not a magnetar at all, and the gas around it is not evidence of a supernova, but instead some unusual nuclear activity around a supermassive black hole. If so, then its bright light could herald a completely new kind of event, said study co-author Christopher Kochanek, professor of astronomy at Ohio State and the Ohio Eminent Scholar in Observational Cosmology. It would be something never before seen in the center of a galaxy. The Daily Galaxy via Ohio State University Image Credit: NASA and Beijing Planetarium / Jin Ma

Iceland’s Hekla volcano “ready to blow”

A geophysics professor from the University of Iceland has warned people not to travel up Hekla volcano in South Iceland as it could erupt at any moment. As reported by Icelandic news website visir.is (link in Icelandic), Hekla erupted regularly ever ten years or so from 1970 to 2000 – but has now been silent for sixteen years. According to Professor Páll Einarsson, pressure readings within the famous volcano are now higher than before the last two previous eruptions – meaning it could blow with little warning. “Hekla is a dangerous volcano,” says Einarsson. “We could be looking at a major disaster when the next eruption begins if we are not careful.” MORE: 1980 Hekla eruption passenger jet near-miss “Hekla has become a very popular tourist destination. Nowadays, there are tourist groups on Hekla most of the summer,” Einarsson explain in the visir.is article. “There are also 20-30 planes full of passengers flying right over the top of Hekla every day,” he warns. “This is a risky moment which we need to take seriously.” New measurements have shown that Hekla has been gathering magma and internal pressure is higher than before the last two previous eruptions. “Hekla is ready – at any moment,” Einarsson concludes.

'ACCORDING TO THE MUSLIM FAITH, IF SOMEONE TRIES TO APOSTATE, HE OR SHE COULD BE KILLED'

June 21, 2016

Islamic apologists in the West, both Muslim and non-Muslim, routinely deny that Islam has a death penalty for those who leave Islam. They also deny that Islam allows for child marriage. How is it that so many Muslims in Pakistan have misunderstood their own faith? Says the local police chief in the article below: “The Muslims living in the area said nobody is allowed to go back to his or her old religion after embracing Islam. According to the Muslim faith, if someone tries to apostate, he or she could be killed.” And later on, the Washington Post informs us that Pakistan is “a country with no law against child marriage.” Apostasy: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89) A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence. This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent Muslim cleric in the world, has stated: “The Muslim jurists are unanimous that apostates must be punished, yet they differ as to determining the kind of punishment to be inflicted upon them. The majority of them, including the four main schools of jurisprudence (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali) as well as the other four schools of jurisprudence (the four Shiite schools of Az-Zaidiyyah, Al-Ithna-‘ashriyyah, Al-Ja’fariyyah, and Az-Zaheriyyah) agree that apostates must be executed.” Qaradawi also once famously said: “If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment, Islam wouldn’t exist today.”

Spending it all on rent: 11 million Americans spend half their income on rent. Another 21 million spend over 30 percent of their income on rent, a record high.

Posted by mybudget360 in income, real estate

The financial raiding of the American middle class is moving full steam ahead. The ridiculous structure of the banking bailouts and artificially low interest rates caused hot money from banks and big investors to crowd out regular families in the housing market. Now here we are 7 years after the official conclusion of the Great Recession and regular American families are financially struggling while banks and big investors thrive. Today 11 million Americans spend half of their income on rent. Another 21.3 million spent over 30 percent of their income on rent. With millions of properties being bought by investors since the Great Recession hit, all that has happened is a mega transfer of wealth. You don’t build equity by renting but many people are simply priced out from buying a home. The great bailout scam Most Americans have a hard time saving money. This is why housing has been a big plus in the net worth column for many households for more than a generation. This is seen as a forced savings mechanism. Yet the homeownership rate is at a generational low and we have a record percentage of families now renting building no equity. And the problem in big cities is even more pronounced. Here is a map showing how much you need to earn to afford a regular two-bedroom apartment: So it should come as no surprise that many young Americans stuck in low wage jobs are unable to rent a place and end up living with parents or roommates. Others simply spend a wild amount of their income on rent. In the past, this would be the prime age to buy but that is not happening. Unfortunately there are two big issues here: -1. There is a lost decade in homeownership growth. Meaning many people missed out on building equity. -2. Banks and investors continue to hoard homes causing an abnormal distortion to the market. This is manipulated because the Fed is forcibly keeping interest rates low. The end result was that investors dove into housing chasing yields in rental properties, a segment of the market that was largely left to mom and pop investors in the past. The amount of buying over the last decade was a new trend especially with big money flowing in – even though returns are low with zero percent interest rates, banks and big investors had little risk in loading up on rental properties. And rents continue to go up while incomes went stagnant: Rents are going up faster than wages and are far outpacing the overall inflation rate. So it is no surprise then that a record number of Americans are spending half of their money on rent. This makes it less likely that they are consuming on other goods or also saving for their own retirement. All it means is more money is being siphoned off to banks and investors. This is largely shuffling digital money around but Americans are now understanding who really has the power in this country. Large financial institutions are dictating how things play out even if it means things are worse off financially for regular working families.

There Are Now More Bureaucrats With Guns Than U.S. Marines

Report: Non-military federal agencies spend $1.48 billion on guns and ammo since 2006

BY: Elizabeth Harrington June 22, 2016 3:20 pm

There are now more non-military government employees who carry guns than there are U.S. Marines, according to a new report. Open the Books, a taxpayer watchdog group, released a study Wednesday that finds domestic government agencies continue to grow their stockpiles of military-style weapons, as Democrats sat on the House floor calling for more restrictions on what guns American citizens can buy. The “Militarization of America” report found civilian agencies spent $1.48 billion on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment between 2006 and 2014. Examples include IRS agents with AR-15s, and EPA bureaucrats wearing camouflage. “Regulatory enforcement within administrative agencies now carries the might of military-style equipment and weapons,” Open the Books said. “For example, the Food and Drug Administration includes 183 armed ‘special agents,’ a 50 percent increase over the ten years from 1998-2008. At Health and Human Services (HHS), ‘Special Office of Inspector General Agents’ are now trained with sophisticated weaponry by the same contractors who train our military special forces troops.” Open the Books found there are now over 200,000 non-military federal officers with arrest and firearm authority, surpassing the 182,100 personnel who are actively serving in the U.S. Marines Corps. The IRS spent nearly $11 million on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment for its 2,316 special agents. The tax collecting agency has billed taxpayers for pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns, semi-automatic Smith & Wesson M&P15s, and Heckler & Koch H&K 416 rifles, which can be loaded with 30-round magazines. The EPA spent $3.1 million on guns, ammo, and equipment, including drones, night vision, “camouflage and other deceptive equipment,” and body armor. When asked about the spending, and EPA spokesman said the report “cherry picks information and falsely misrepresents the work of two administrations whose job is to protect public health.” “Many purchases were mischaracterized or blown out of proportion in the report,” said spokesman Nick Conger. “EPA’s criminal enforcement program has not purchased unmanned aircraft, and the assertions that military-grade weapons are part of its work are false.” “EPA’s criminal enforcement program investigates and prosecutes the most egregious violators of our nation’s environmental laws, and EPA criminal enforcement agents are law enforcement professionals who have undergone the same rigorous training as other federal agents,” Conger continued. Other administration agencies that have purchased guns and ammo include the Small Business Administration, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Department of Education, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The report also highlighted that the Department of Health and Human Services has “special agents” with “sophisticated military-style weapons.” Open the Books also found $42 million in gun and ammunition purchases that were incorrectly coded. “Some purchases were actually for ping-pong balls, gym equipment, bread, copiers, cotton balls, or cable television including a line item from the Coast Guard entered as ‘Cable Dude,’” the report said. Open the Books appealed to both liberals like Bernie Sanders—who has called for demilitarizing local police departments—and conservatives in its report. “Conservatives argue that it is hypocritical for political leaders to undermine the Second Amendment while simultaneously equipping non-military agencies with hollow-point bullets and military style equipment,” Open the Books said. “One could argue the federal government itself has become a gun show that never adjourns with dozens of agencies continually shopping for new firearms.” Update June 23, 10:15 a.m.: Following publication of this article, Adam Andrzejewski, the CEO of Open the Books who wrote the report, pushed back against the EPA’s statement, and provided contract data to back up his claims. “How can the EPA spokesperson deny hard facts from their own checkbook?” he said. “Alongside our oversight report, OpenTheBooks.com also released a PDF of all raw data. This line-by-line transactional record from the EPA’s own checkbook on page 113 clearly shows that in 2013 and 2014 the EPA purchased tens of thousands of dollars of ‘Unmanned Aircraft’ from Bergen RC Helicopters Inc which on a net basis amounted to approximately $34,000.” “All of the assertions in our oversight report are the quantification of actual spending records produced and reported to us by the federal agencies themselves,” Andrzejewski said.

North Korea's Musudan Missile Test Actually Succeeded. What Now?

North Korea claims its sixth Musudan missile test this year was a success. Why does that matter?

By Ankit Panda June 23, 2016

Yesterday, North Korea launched two liquid-fueled Musudan (Hwasong-10) intermediate-range ballistic missiles. As I wrote then, the tests marked the fifth and sixth test launches of the missile this year. Testing began in mid-April, to coincide with the birth anniversary of Kim Il-sung, North Korea’s founder and grandfather to current leader Kim Jong-un. Sadly for Kim, all four tests prior to yesterday had failed either at launch or shortly after launch. (The Diplomat‘s John Power has a good round-up of the most recent tests at our Koreas channel.) Tests one through four failed, and yesterday, the first test (test launch five) also failed, though it flew further than the previous tests. It turns out that the sixth and final Musudan tested to date actually demonstrated results suggesting a high degree of success. Japan’s Defense Minister Gen Nakatani noted an apogee of around 1,000 kilometers for the missile. The sixth Musudan also covered the most surface distance, traveling 400 kilometers from its launch site near the North Korean city of Wonsan, on the country’s eastern coast overlooking the Sea of Japan. (Incidentally, the first missile fired yesterday also flew 150 kilometers, a significant upgrade over the previous launches in April and May.) The 1,000 kilometer apogee means that the missile made it into the Earth’s exosphere. Long-range ballistic missiles work by essentially hurling their payload high into the earth’s atmosphere, using a ballistic trajectory to reach their target, letting gravity and air resistance do most of the work in the reentry and terminal phases. A Musudan at 1,000 kilometers is a worrisome milestone, particularly if Pyongyang is able to mount its new compact nuclear devices on board the missile. The 400 kilometer range, meanwhile, shouldn’t deceive you; North Korea likely intended for the missile to fly at a steeper angle than would be ideal for it to reach its maximum range of 3,500 kilometers. (Pyongyang took care to make sure that the missile didn’t splash down within Japan’s air defense identification zone, as well.) Enjoying this article? Click here to subscribe for full access. Just $5 a month. Indeed, early on Thursday, a day after the Musudan test launches, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was reported to have said that the test was a full success and, critically, underlined that Pyongyang now had attained “the sure capability to attack” U.S. targets in the “Pacific operation theater,” most likely referring to Guam but also other regional U.S. bases. The definition of success in missile testing can be somewhat subjective; North Korea gets to decide the parameters it was looking to accomplish and it looks like Kim Jong-un is satisfied with the 1,000 kilometer apogee and the 400 kilometer range accomplishments. (Obvious failed tests meanwhile are easy to spot, particularly when a missile blows itself and its launcher up on or immediately after launch.) Kim Jong-un’s Thursday statement also helps explain why we’ve seen a particularly unusual spate of Musudan testing this spring. North Korea watchers have speculated that the repeated and rushed testing could have been due to Kim Jong-un needing to demonstrate, in line with his byungjin ambitions (more on that here), that he possessed a credible strike platform capable of hitting the U.S. territory of Guam. North Korea’s KN-08 and new KN-14 intercontinental ballistic missiles, which may be capable of striking most of the continental United States if developed successfully, remain in development and have yet to be test-fired. Jeffrey Lewis, a North Korea watcher and nonproliferation expert at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, notes that “If we do nothing, this ends in a successful flight test of the Musudan-based KN-08 (ICBM).” This test should be a reminder for policymakers in the United States and certainly in the region that North Korea continues to make steady progress on a range of platforms that bring Kim Jong-un closer to realizing the nuclear leg of byungjin, threatening regional peace and security. It’s far from obvious where Pyongyang goes from here. Kim Jong-un’s statement on Thursday suggests that the signaling value of the Musudan tests has been accomplished and, with a limited inventory of missiles remaining, Pyongyang may choose to hold off on further testing. Conversely, it could continue testing to protest international isolation and sanctions. The nightmare scenario is the possibility of Pyongyang using the know-how its gained with its Musudan testing to eventually conduct a flight test its KN-08 ICBM, with a possible atmospheric nuclear detonation to remove any doubts about miniaturization. However, amid attempts at an uneasy rapprochement with Beijing and even a willingness to enter a track 1.5 dialogue with regional and U.S. diplomats this week, Pyongyang may choose to tamp down its spate of testing somewhat and claim that its long-sought goal of credibly being able to threaten Guam with a nuclear strike has been achieved. With the country under economic stress from sanctions and under increased agricultural stress precipitating a famine, Kim has plenty of reason to turn his attention to the economic leg of byungjin.

The Supreme Court Just Created a Full-Blown Police State – The End of the USA Cannot Be Far Behind

Posted Jun 21, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

The Supreme Court ruling in Utah v Strieff awarded the police total freedom to stop any citizen, at any time, to do whatever they desire. The Supreme Court determined that the “poisonous fruit” of a police officer’s stop of a citizen can be used against them at trial. This has wiped out, in reality, any constitutional protection you thought you had. This is a sad day for the United States, for the Supreme Court has officially created a full-blown police state and clearly has no intention of honoring why this nation began the entire American Revolution — to prevent illegal searches that allowed the king to look for anything he could use to prosecute citizens. The Supreme Court ruled that even though the officer had initially violated a person’s rights (in other words, the Constitution) the officer’s conduct was “at most negligent” and the result of “good-faith mistakes.” This language is a wink and nod to the police who only have to claim they made a mistake that was not intentional and they walk free. We have witnessed police outrageously murder citizens, but the police officers involved are usually not charged. Now, with this decision, the United States has become exactly as Ukraine stood before the people revolted. A friend of mine from Ukraine came to the states before the last revolution. When they would see a police officer, they would tense up and try to avoid them at all costs. At home, the police were the criminals. They would shake you down, abuse you, and there was simply no rule of law. The Supreme Court, as of yesterday, has committed suicide. In February 1761, James Otis, Jr. (1725–1783) argued brilliantly against the Writs of Assistance that was authorized in 1660 but became an instrument of tyranny in 1758 in the American colonies as a means to raise taxes. For nearly five hours, Otis made a brilliant oration in court against the Writs, but he lost the case, for what judge would ever rule against his master? John Adams later wrote that “the child independence was then and there born, [for] every man of an immense crowded audience appeared to me to go away as I did, ready to take arms against writs of assistance.” This spirit of resistance appears to rise roughly every 51.6 years, albeit at different intensity. This very power to arbitrarily search anyone sparked the American Revolution. No taxation without representation followed, but the inspiration was the right to be free and the Supreme Court just took away. The police no longer have restraint. This is the final stage of how empires, nations, and city-states collapse when there is no rule of law. Once the state elevates itself above the people, the end is not far behind. The dissenting words of Justice Sonia Sotomayor reflect the dire state to which the United States has degenerated. Scalia would have joined Justice Sotomayor on this one, and if he were still alive, he would have tipped the scale and protected our liberty. With Scalia gone, who was a strict constructionist, there is little hope left in the Supreme Court. Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote, “Even if you are innocent, you will now join the 65 million Americans with an arrest record and experience the ‘civil death’ of discrimination by employers, landlords, and whoever else conducts a background check.” She concluded, and I must agree: By legitimizing the conduct that produces this double consciousness, this case tells everyone, white and black, guilty and innocent, that an officer can verify your legal status at any time. It says that your body is subject to invasion while courts excuse the violation of your rights. It implies that you are not a citizen of a democracy but the subject of a carceral state, just waiting to be cataloged. We must not pretend that the countless people who are routinely targeted by police are “isolated.” They are the canaries in the coal mine whose deaths, civil and literal, warn us that no one can breathe in this atmosphere. They are the ones who recognize that unlawful police stops corrode all our civil liberties and threaten all our lives. Until their voices matter too, our justice system will continue to be anything but.

'No Fly, No Buy' Means No Freedom

By Andrew P. Napolitano June 23, 2016

The people in the government who want to control our personal choices are the enemies of freedom. And the enemies of freedom can be very clever and seductive. Last week, these folks, manifesting their lust to keep us dependent upon the government by rejecting the natural right to self-defense, coined a clever phrase: “No fly, no buy.” It sounds rational, yet it rejects core American values. The phrase was pounded home to average Americans during a one-sided 15-hour televised marathon on the floor of the Senate orchestrated by the gun control crowd. The essence of the argument was that stricter laws regarding gun sales would have prevented the massacre at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. In gun control advocates’ dream world, the self-loathing Islamic State-inspired killer, willing to take 49 innocent lives, would somehow have been unwilling to violate restrictive gun purchase laws; and his obedience to those laws would have saved lives. Their argument is naive and absurd. A person willing to commit mass murder is surely willing to break the law to acquire the means to commit the murders. So blinded were these senators in their misguided utterances about self-defense that they forgot about the Constitution. Myths, Misunderstandings and Outright lies about owning Gold. Are you at risk? The legislation they offered would have required that people whose names the feds put on a terror watchlist or a no-fly list (these are often done simultaneously) would not be legally able to purchase a gun. The senators summarized this idea dozens of times as “no fly, no buy.”Though this phrase, which was quickly picked up by many of my colleagues in the media, has an easy and simplistic ring to it, it reveals a troubling ideology that profoundly rejects core American values. When Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights and when the inalienability of our rights was codified in the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, the United States was wedded to the Judeo-Christian principle that our rights stem from our humanity. This was expressly recognized recently by the Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller, in which it held that the right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental personal right, not a gift of the government to a group. A fundamental personal right is the natural ability of individuals to make meaningful choices without a government permission slip. May the government ever interfere with fundamental rights? The short answer is yes. The longer answer is that it can only do so if it can demonstrate a compelling governmental interest — served by the least restrictive means, and only after due process. Stated differently, if the government wants to silence your speech or deny you the right to self-defense, it must meet a very high burden in a public courtroom. It must demonstrate to a judge and jury that its need to silence or disarm you is compelling, and its goals may not be attained by any lesser means. Americans need not demonstrate a compelling need to speak or bear arms; the government must demonstrate a compelling need to prevent us from doing so. That is what lawyers call black letter law — meaning it is well-established, followed throughout the land and rarely challenged. Until now. Earlier this week in the Senate, the gun control crowd sought to give nameless and faceless federal bureaucrats the ability to strip Americans of their right to keep and bear arms by putting their names on a terror watchlist/no-fly list and prohibiting those on the list from buying guns. Yet none of these senators could state the criteria for putting a name on that list, and none could identify the people who prepare or keep the list. That’s because these are well-guarded government secrets — secrets that have no place in American life. If a government bureaucrat can put your name on a secret list on the bureaucrat’s own whim or even using secret standards and, as a result, you have lost a fundamental liberty, then the feds have transformed a natural right into a governmental gift. If the feds can create a no-fly list in secret and “no fly” comes to mean “no buy,” then we have no rights but what the government will permit us to do. As if to underscore his ignorance of American values, one of the senators even stated that due process is killing us. He must have forgotten his oath to uphold the Constitution, which guarantees that the government may not take life, liberty or property without due process. Due process — the absolute right to know the law and to force the government to prove a violation of it to a jury before it can take life, liberty or property — is the essence of the rights of free people. It is utterly scandalous — and probably disqualifying from office — that a senator could bemoan its existence. Can you see how low we have sunk? The gun control crowd doesn’t care about personal liberty in a free society; it just cares about control. It wants us all to be pliant and reliant on a government that it controls; never mind that it is utterly incapable of protecting us from crazies who will resort to mass death for their own deranged purposes. If the government secretly can put an American’s name on a secret list and, as a result, his liberty is lost, then there are no freedoms — just government-granted privileges. And if it can do this to the natural rights to travel and self-defense, can other fundamental rights be far behind?

US general warns Russia could OVERWHELM eastern Europe in just 36 hours as Putin blames Nato's 'aggressive actions' for building up his country's military forces

The warning came from the commander of US ground forces in Europe

Gen Ben Hodges said Russia could conquer Baltic capitals in 36 hours

Heavy military equipment could not be moved fast enough, he warned

Russia is creating new divisions along its southwest regions

By Ted Thornhill for MailOnline Published: 09:18 EST, 22 June 2016 | Updated: 15:54 EST, 22 June 2016

Nato would currently be unable to protect the Baltics against a Russian attack, the commander of US ground forces in Europe, General Ben Hodges, said in a news report Wednesday. 'Russia could take over the Baltic states faster than we would be able to defend them,' Hodges was quoted as saying in a German-language article by news weekly Die Zeit. His comments came as Putin slammed Nato for ratcheting up its rhetoric and its 'aggressive actions' close to Russia's border, warning it was forcing Moscow to increase its military capacity. General Hodges had said he agreed with an assessment by military analysts that says Russian forces could conquer the capitals of Baltic states Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia within 36 to 60 hours. Hodges also said Nato forces had found numerous deficiencies during the recent 'Anaconda' military exercise in Poland, according to the article from Thursday's edition of Die Zeit released early to AFP. Heavy military equipment could not be moved fast enough from western to eastern Europe, he said, while also voicing concern about the alliance's communication technology. 'Neither radio communication nor email are secure,' he was quoted as saying. 'I assume that everything I write on my BlackBerry is being monitored.' The Anaconda manoeuvre included troops from more than 20 Nato member states but was officially a Polish national exercise. Hodges told Die Zeit that 'some countries, like France and Germany, thought it would be too provocative toward Russia to call it a Nato exercise'. Putin's remarks about Nato aggression came on the 75th anniversary of the invasion of the USSR by Nazi Germany. 'Nato is stepping up its aggressive rhetoric and its aggressive actions close to our borders,' Putin told lawmakers. 'In these conditions, we are obliged to dedicate special attention to resolving tasks connected with heightening the defence capabilities of our country.' Putin also accused the West of rejecting Russian overtures to help tackle the common foe of 'international terrorism' - as it once ignored the Soviet Union's warnings about Hitler - as it seeks to isolate Moscow over the Ukraine crisis. 'Once again, as it was on the eve of World War II, (we) are not seeing a positive response,' Putin said. Relations between Russia and the West have slumped to their lowest point since the Cold War over Moscow's 2014 annexation of Crimea from Ukraine and its alleged masterminding of a separatist uprising. Russian aircraft have also increased tensions recently by launching a series of provocative intercepts of Nato, Swedish and other aircraft. Nato announced last week that it would deploy four battalions to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland to counter a more assertive Russia, ahead of a landmark summit in Warsaw on July 8-9. All four countries were once ruled from Moscow and remain deeply suspicious of Russian intentions, especially after Russia's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. Russia bitterly opposes Nato's expansion into its Soviet-era satellites and last month said it would create three new divisions in its southwest region to meet what it described as a dangerous military build-up along its borders.

EXCLUSIVE: Donald Rumsfeld says he'll vote for Trump – 'It's not a close call!' – as 9/11-era defense secretary says Hillary Clinton 'would probably be indicted' over emails if she were a soldier or sailor

Rumsfeld tells DailyMail.com that he will vote for the Republicans' presumptive nominee because he's a 'known unknown' and Hillary Clinton is a 'known known'

9/11-era defense secretary is one of the most senior Republican figures to come out publicly for Trump

He says Hillary Clinton isn't qualified to sit in the Oval Office, and 'would probably be indicted' over her emails if she were a junior military grunt

Trump launched an all-out attack on Hillary Clinton on Wednesday at a speech in New York in which he lambasted her as a 'world-class liar'

Rumsfeld spoke in an interview while promoting his Android 'Churchill Solitaire' app, which recreates Winston Churchill's favorite card game

By David Martosko, U.s. Political Editor For Dailymail.com Published: 16:30 EST, 22 June 2016 | Updated: 10:50 EST, 23 June 2016

Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said Wednesday that he will support Donald Trump with his vote in November. The declaration, which Rumsfeld made in an interview with DailyMail.com, makes him the highest-ranking member of the George W. Bush administration to back the Republican Party's presumptive nominee. It's 'not a close call,' he said in a 25-minute phone interview. Rumsfeld said he agrees in principle with Trump's position on reforming the NATO alliance, keeping Syrian refugees at bay over fears of terrorist infiltration, and other issues. And besides, he added, 'I'm a Republican, and there's not any doubt in my mind how I'll vote,' and 'I don't believe Hillary Clinton is qualified to be President of the United States.' 'I am incredibly grateful for the support of Secretary Rumsfeld, and I am very honored he supports my stances on NATO, the need to defeat ISIS and stop immigration of Syrian refugees,' Trump told DailyMail.com in a statement. Bush, the 43rd president, has given no indication that he will back Trump, who bounced his younger brother Jeb from a vicious GOP primary process this year. The former president has indicated that he won't attend July's Republican National Convention in Cleveland, an event already being talked about as 'The Trump Show' inside party circles. Colin Powell, the Bush-era secretary of state, has been openly hostile to Trump over his immigration positions. 'Let's tell all the immigrants working in Trump hotels to stay home tomorrow. See what happens,' he told the Washington Ideas Forum last October. Rumsfeld said Powell's opposition to his party's standard bearer is unsurprising. 'He supported Obama, Colin did! That's nothing new,' he said. Rumsfeld spoke with DailyMail.com as part of a media tour aimed at promoting the release of his 'Churchill Solitaire' app on the Android platform. The iPhone version has been downloaded more than 650,000 times and represents Winston Churchill's favorite version of the play-alone card game. Rumsfeld said he learned the game in 1973 from André de Staercke, a Belgian NATO diplomat, who learned it 30 years earlier from Churchill himself. 'I was afraid it would be lost to the ages,' he said Wednesday, while admitting the technology mystified him at first. 'I didn't even know what an app was!' he marveled. 'Don't tell anyone.' An animated Rumsfeld, 83, was even more eager to talk about the Trump phenomenon, saying that a year ago 'you could count on one hand' the number of people who thought he would be the GOP nominee. While the former defense secretary said he and Trump have never met, he agrees with the real estate tycoon about what Trump calls the potential for a 'Trojan horse' infiltration of terrorists among the Syrian refugees whom the Obama administration has been resettling in the U.S. 'He's absolutely right,' he said. 'Anyone who thinks the radical Islamists are not going to try to utilize every venue they can find to infiltrate in the United States, and in western European countries, to achieve their goals – these people just don't get it.' 'They've announced what they're going to do,' he said of the ISIS terror army. On the refugee crisis and the need for a NATO reboot, Rumsfeld said he has arrived at a Trump-aligned position through a different line of argument. 'We've got an enormous obligation' to help fleeing Syrians, he said, 'and the United Nations is so incompetent and inept and unhelpful ... this refugee problem is the most heartbreaking thing in the world.' But instead of politicizing the issue and moving the refugees halfway around the world, he said, the U.S. should be mobilizing regional powers to give them somewhere to flee to. 'We've got an obligation to provide safe zones for them,' he said. 'We've got to be proactive rather than arguing whether we should have 1000 or 2000 or 3000' in the United States. 'How is what I've said different from what he's said?' he asked, referring to Trump – whose position is nearly identical but contains an extra layer of terrorism rhetoric. 'The way he said it got him the Republican nomination for president. The way I said it makes people's eyes glaze over' but is 'less concerning to some people. ''The only real difference is [that] one is striking a nerve.' Trump's immigration policy and his own views, he said, similarly arrive at the same end but form different starting points. Most immigrants, he said, don't 'want to impose a different system on us.' But 'countries ought to be able to maintain their values' in the face of immigrant populations that don't want to assimilate. On NATO, Rumsfeld emphasized that most media reports of Trump's stated goals have been inaccurate. 'People have played very fast and loose,' he said. 'What he actually said was different from the characterizations that followed.' Rumsfeld, once America's NATO ambassador himself, agreed with Trump that the internal compass of the organization needs an overhaul, proclaiming the presumptive nominee's position is 'not far from what I wrote ... to President Bush 13 or 14 years ago.' NATO, he said, was 'fashioned during the Truman administration, and they do need to be updated for the 21st century and the information age.' Hillary Clinton has pounced on popularized but inaccurate versions of Trump's NATO pronouncements, saying he would withdraw the U.S. from the alliance entirely. Rumsfeld framed the choice between Clinton and Trump in terms political historians will find familiar, relying on the words he used in 2002 to describe questions about the U.S. intelligence community's ability to spot weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. 'Mrs. Clinton is a known known. Donald Trump is a known unknown who's a recent entry into the equation,' he said, attributing the insight to his wife. 'And I am a lot more comfortable with a known unknown, who I will support, than with a known known who is unacceptable.' 'I couldn't support Mrs. Clinton,' he emphasized. 'What she has done with classified information I think is inexcusable and puts at risk people's lives [and] not just ours.' Clinton is facing an FBI investigation concerning classified material found among emails she housed on a homebrew private server while she ran the State Department. 'I personally believe that if she were a sergeant in the Army or a yeoman in the Navy, she'd probably be indicted,' he said. 'It's just inexcusable. You just can't do that!' The impact of Clinton's data security practices will be far-reaching, Rumsfeld predicted. 'Other countries will be less likely to share information with us,' he said, now that it's clear the U.S. government can't maintain the secrecy it once boasted as a core competency. And the potential for hacking, he said, means state secrets are falling 'into the hands of the other side,' which 'tells them that we had the information, which means they can figure out how we got it and stop us from getting more ... and even compromise the people who gave it to us or allow us to get it.' Rumsfeld also took issue with Clinton's statements to family members of U.S. personnel killed in a 2012 terror attack on a diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya. Those next of kin have said Clinton blamed their loved ones' deaths on an anti-Islam YouTube video, rather than identifying the carnage as the result of a jihadi attack. Her emails at the time show that she conceded the truth to her daughter and to foreign leaders. 'When Mrs. Clinton said to those people, the parents of the people killed, that it was the video, when she knew completely, certainly, that it wasn't' – he said, suddenly falling silent. 'I mean, I'm very uncomfortable with someone like that,' he concluded.

Paul Craig Roberts Just Exposed The Terrifying Reason Why The Elites Had To Stop Brexit At All Costs

June 22, 2016

Former U.S. Treasury Secretary, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, just exposed the terrifying reason why the elites had to stop Brexit at all costs. (King World News) Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: “If you read the presstitute media, Brexit—the referendum tomorrow on the UK’s exit from the EU— is about racism. According to the story line, angry rightwing racists of violent inclinations want to leave the EU to avoid having to accept more dark-skinned immigrants into England… Continue reading the Dr. Paul Craig Roberts piece below… Despite the constant propaganda against exit, polls indicated that more favored leaving the EU than remaining until a female member of Parliament, Jo Cox, was killed by a man that a witness said shouted “Brexit.” Cox was an opponent of leaving the EU. Cox’s Murder Used To Drive The Propaganda The UK government and presstitute media used Cox’s murder to drive home the propaganda that violent racists were behind Brexit. However, other witnesses gave a different report. The Guardian, which led with the propaganda line, did report later in its account that “Other witnesses said the attack was launched after the MP became involved in an altercation involving two men near where she held her weekly surgery.” Of course, we will never know, because Cox’s murder is too valuable of a weapon against Brexit. There is no doubt that many in the UK are disturbed at the transformation of their country. One doesn’t have to be a racist to feel that one’s country is being stolen from them by people of alien cultures. The British have a long history of fighting off invaders, and many believe they are experiencing an invasion, although not an armed one. An armed one, of course, would not have the government’s and media’s support. When British people hear pundits pronounce that immigrants contribute more to the UK than they absorb in social payments, what they hear is inconsistent with their experience. Moreover, many British are tired of having to avoid entire sections of their cities, including London, because of safety concerns. The U.K. Being Led Down The Rabbit Hole Of Its Own Destruction It is a propaganda choice to call these concerns racism rather than cultural defense, and the UK political establishment has made that propaganda choice. Little wonder so many British citizens no longer believe that the British Establishment represents Britain. But let’s give the propagandists the benefit of the doubt and for sake of argument assume that Brexit is about racism. What is the opposition to Brexit really about? Most certainly it is not about helping the refugees from Washington’s wars that the UK government has enabled. If the British establishment cared so much for the Muslims seeking refuge from America’s invasions, bombs, and drones, the British establishment would not have supported Washington’s attacks on these people. Opposition to Brexit is based on two powerful interests of Washington. The End Of London As A Financial Center? One is the interests of the New York banks and Wall Street to eliminate the UK as a financial center competitor. This blatant fact has escaped the notice of the City and the Bank of England. The British have forgotten that they only have one foot in the EU, because the UK was permitted to keep its own currency. The UK does not use the euro and, thus, retains the power to finance the British government. Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, etc., do not have this capability. They are dependent on private banks for financing. In order to trick the UK into joining the EU, the British were given special privileges. However, these privileges cannot last forever. The EU process is one of political integration. As I reported years ago, Jean-Claude Trichet, at that time the president of the European Central Bank, said that to complete the political integration of Europe, the fiscal policies of member states would be centralized. It is impossible to centralize fiscal policies if the UK is an independent financial center with its own central bank and currency. Why The Elites Had To Stop Brexit At All Costs Wall Street understands that the defeat of Brexit means a shortened lifespan for London as a financial center, as it is impossible to be a financial center unless a country has its own currency and central bank. As it is impossible for the UK to be a member of the EU and not operate under the European Central Bank, once the Brexit referendum is defeated, the process of gradually forcing the UK into the euro will begin. The other powerful interest is the interest of Washington to prevent one country’s exit from leading to the exit of other countries. As CIA documents found in the US National Archives make clear, the EU was a CIA initiative, the purpose of which is to make it easy for Washington to exercise political control over Europe. It is much easier for Washington to control the EU than 28 separate countries. Moreover, if the EU unravels, so likely would NATO, which is the necessary cover for Washington’s aggression. The EU serves Washington and the One Percent. It serves no one else. The EU is a murderer of sovereignty and peoples. The intent is for the British, French, Germans, Italians, Greeks, Spanish, and all the rest to disappear as peoples. Brexit is the last chance to defeat this hidden agenda, and apparently the British will vote tomorrow without having a clue as to what is at stake and what the vote is about.” ***Also just released: Shocking Interview From A Legend On Brexit And The Global Chaos That Will Ensue After Brexit CLICK HERE.

Hunting Humans Could Become 'Big Game' In Future As Economy Continues To Crumble - With The Elite Now Using Food As A Weapon Against Humanity, 'Dark Tourism' Is Already Worth Billions Yearly And Set To Explode As Chaos Takes Hold June 22, 2016

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

The story that the Drudge Report linked to on Tuesday from the Mirror sounds like something out of a dystopian science fiction horror novel but apparently it may one day become all too real; "Hunting Humans Set To Become Big Business For The Super Rich Within The Next 100 Years" we are told. As we hear in the 1st video below from WeaponizedNEWS.Com, we're now getting more and more proof that the 1% want to put the rest of us into a 'hunger games' scenario as we approach UN's Agenda-2030. The 2nd video below is the trailer for the classic movie "Running Man" which takes place, by the way, in the year 2017. ("Oh what timing!" Susan says!) While the elite hunting down humans might sound way out of the realm of possibility to some, the fact that the majority of men and women living in Venezuela are now very hungry with some resorting to hunting down dogs and cats to eat, just to survive, while the elite in Venezuela still dine on gourmet foods should send us a loud and clear signal that it's not out of the realm of possibility. When we also consider the way we're heading in society with dark and evil forces at work all around us, we should heed the warnings of what experts tell us it would take for our society to reach that point which they warn we're already approaching, though we may still be 100 years away from. Telling us that 'dark tourism' is a flourishing business even now in 2016 that is worth billions of dollars a year, we're told that the range of 'dark tourism' from now into the future range from scenes of death from concentration camps and museums dedicated to serial killers and mass murderers to one day featuring the real-life barbarism of the soulless elite hunting down other human beings for sport, and maybe food, if it's not happening privately already. As if we need more proof of how far America and the West have already fallen, we're told that the 'elite' will likely be willing to pay millions of dollars to be able to hunt down and murder other human beings and by the year 2200, such 'events' will likely become televised public spectacle, similar to 'The Hunger Games' or the classic 'The Running Man'.  The nightmare prediction comes from Daniel Wright, senior lecturer in tourism at the University of Central Lancashire in a paper for the scientific journal Futures. He outlined a world ravaged by economic and ecological disasters , leading to overpopulation and a huge gap between rich and poor. But, he said, it also reflect both the past when public executions attracted huge crowds, to the craze for 'Dark Tourism' that is currently work billions a year. This includes scenes of death from battlefields to Ground Zero, concentration camps open to the public and even museums dedicated to murderers such as Jack the Ripper or Dracula. What would it take for us to reach the point where the elite hunting human for sport is not only widely accepted but becomes a public spectacle such as the Hunger Games movie series that showed the youth hunting each other down for sport, in a sick public sacrifice, broadcast for the entire world to see? Is this what our world is coming to, a futuristic gladiatorial society where life no longer matters and people pay to witness or participate in public murder? Hunting humans as an underground sport could happen as early as 2100, the report suggests, but becoming an authentic tourism experience by 2200.Of course the world will have to take a turn for the worse to reach a situation where rich people can hunt poor people for sport. Daniel Wright said: "Death as a spectacle is not a new phenomenon in social spaces. "In fact, our past arguably shows the human fascination for death, through various forms, to be more of a social activity. "Roman gladiatorial games and public executions are well documented examples throughout history." Have America and the West already fallen so far that the future that is warned of for us as early as 2100, that includes the elite hunting down human beings, could become a reality far before they warned us it would? With the economy now heading towards freefall and evil spreading all around us as warned in these three recent stories from Susan Duclos on ANP, have we already arrived at a point where that crossover to barbarism is already upon us? It has been widely proven that the elite who are working to destroy America have a depopulation agenda in store for mankind so that they can get the population of the Earth down to their ideal number of 500 million as represented on the Georgia Guidestones. We have warned time and again that the elite will use food as a weapon upon the people and as we see now in Venezuela, a country without food quickly leads to widespread chaos. The fact that these elite would have no problem hunting down other humans and would actually pay to do so should come as no surprise to ANP readers who know that in this world, absolute evil exists and can be seen in many places all around us if one only looks hard enough to cut through the veil of deception that surrounds us. We're told it would likely take a "future 'captured in fear' scenario" that could lead to the sci-fi nightmare of human beings hunting other human beings down for sport (or food?) We'd venture to bet that it is already happening in small corners of the world where there is no media to broadcast it and nobody left after 'the games' to tell the world the truth. Ecological disasters mean not enough food or land to support the population and megarich tourists hunting the poor to keep the numbers down but as sport too. Wright, outlining his future vision, added: "During these activities the oppressive mega-rich carry out vacations to purposely slaughter humans, with the 'claimed' aim to reduce population size, but an element of perverse thrill and excitement was said to be fuelling the demand. "Due to the strain on resources for human survival the practice gradually became more recognisable and acceptable on the part of the wider population who form part of the wealthy-elite."

How the 'Brexit' Vote Could Impact Americans

By MORGAN WINSOR Jun 24, 2016, 1:03 PM ET

The so-called Brexit vote may seem far removed for most U.S. citizens, but the impact of Britain's exit from the European Union could affect Americans in more ways than one. About half of the American workforce participates in a company retirement plan, according to an analysis of data compiled by the Pew Charitable Trusts. If this includes you, then you’re one of the tens of thousands of people whose investments are at risk from the market turbulence. As Wall Street joins the global market selloff today, your 401(k) will decrease in value temporarily. The good news is that these retirement funds are long-term investments and should be able to weather the storm in the long run. ”No matter how old you are, we’re still looking to the markets to be going up ultimately,” Lauren Lyons Cole, a certified financial planner and personal finance editor at the International Business Times, said on a Facebook live video. “Today, [the markets] might be down 2 or 3 percent but that doesn’t mean you should sell everything – not by a long shot. You want to just keep steady and continue to watch it.” Your Mortgage American households and would-be homeowners will likely see mortgage rates and the cost of buying a house drop, at least in the short term. Investors are currently selling off riskier assets for safe havens, like U.S. Treasuries and gold. As demand for government debt soars, interest rates will fall, with the potential to cause mortgage rates to drop. "In the short term, the move by Britain will unsettle financial markets both in the U.S. and abroad, and likely lead investors to seek haven in safe assets outside of the U.K. and Europe," said Boston College economics professor Robert Murphy. "With a spike in demand for safe U.S. Treasury bonds, yields are likely to move downward. And as investors shift into dollar-denominated assets, the dollar will gain strength against the euro and the pound." The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 1.57 percent earlier today, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader data. The last time it was this low was in 2012 and mortgage rates followed suit. The average 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage has also sunk to nearly a three-year low in the past month, hovering around 3.7 percent. Financial analysts expect the Brexit vote to drive down rates even further in the coming weeks. “If you’re a borrower, don’t wait to lock your rate,” Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at Bankrate, told The Washington Post today. “As this opportunity may not last long.” At the current average rate, you’ll pay roughly $462 a month in principal and interest for every $100,000 you borrow, according to Bankrate. Your Business The U.S. dollar is surging in value in the exchange markets, which will drive up the cost for U.S. exports to the U.K. and elsewhere in Europe. This could bring down sales and profits for U.S.-based multinational companies, because the United Kingdom and the E.U. are huge export markets for the United States, totaling about $328 billion last year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Thirty firms in the S&P 500 generate more than 10 percent of their sales from the United Kingdom, according to data from FactSet Research. "With the E.U. being its largest trading partner, any slowdown in Europe will weaken growth in the U.S. over the near term," said Murphy, a former economist with the Clinton Administration. “Longer-term consequences of Brexit depend on how quickly the process of negotiating new trade and financial arrangements between Britain, the E.U., and other countries takes place. This surely will take several years, meaning that negative economic consequences are likely to be felt for some time.” Also, E.U. membership allows financial firms in the U.K. a “passport” to do business across the other 27 countries. That means American companies can do the same anywhere in the E.U. as long as they set up a branch or subsidiary in a member states. Forty percent of the world's top 250 multinational companies have their European headquarters in London, according to research by Deloitte. The loss of this “passport” will hit American businesses operating out of the U.K. Your Vacation Plans The International Monetary Fund has warned that a Brexit could force the U.K. into a recession. But as the British pound and other European currencies shed value against the U.S. dollar, that trip to London is looking more and more affordable. This means traveling to the U.K. and the rest of Europe will likely become considerably cheaper for U.S. citizens in the coming weeks.

Brexit Leaves Alarm Bells Ringing in Israel

By Yossi Mekelberg On 6/24/16 at 12:14 PM

The day after a tumultuous night, the United Kingdom woke up to a Brexit hangover. Months of fractious, even nasty, campaigning came to an end with a result that surprised even Leave voters themselves. It leaves the country and society divided, and in need of healing the deep rifts opened in the wake of the campaign and its aftermath. Many Britons up and down the country anxiously waited up all night for the results to be declared. Interest in this once-in-a-generation referendum, however, was not confined to Great Britain alone or even the EU, but far beyond. Israel might not be the first example that comes to mind as concerning itself with whether its former Mandatory power stays in or leaves the EU. Nevertheless, within Israel there was a strong, general curiosity about the referendum and more specifically a concern as to how it would affect the Jewish state. Israel has always had complex and even prickly relations with the European Union, mainly around the issue of peace with the Palestinians. From the Venice Declaration of 1980, which called for the right of Palestinians to self-determination, to the most recent French peace initiative, Europe has been seen as biased against Israel. Ironically, Israel is enjoying one of the most favorable trade and cultural agreements with this experimental supranational European entity. Hence, Israeli attitudes towards Brexit depend on whether one thinks it is good for the country to have a strong EU with Britain at the heart of it, or a weak one without it. Furthermore, views in Israel varied about the impact of Britain’s leaving the EU, from those who predicted almost no impact, to those who watched the situation with concern regarding the possibility of what would happen if Israel’s closest ally were to vote out. British Prime Minister David Cameron, in a last ditch attempt to convince members of the Jewish community to support the Remain campaign, told them rather bluntly: “Do you want Britain, Israel’s greatest friend, in there opposing boycotts, opposing the campaign for divestment and sanctions, or do you want us outside the room, powerless to effect the discussion that takes place?” Cameron appealed to a similar sentiment that I found prevalent in my most recent visit to Israel—that Israel needs Britain as a strong and supportive voice against those who are highly critical of Israel within the EU. The decision to leave and Cameron’s resignation come at the time when the mood in Brussels is that Israel’s expansion of settlements, or stand on not negotiating peace with the Palestinians, should no longer go unpunished. Interestingly enough, those close to the settlement movement in the West Bank urged Israelis with a right to vote in the referendum to support leaving the EU. For the Right in Israel it is in the country’s best interest to see a divided and weak European Union with little impact on the future of the occupied territories, in terms of financial aid to the Palestinians and especially a final status agreement. But they should be careful what they wish for in the name of their short-term partisan interest. Regardless, if one is a fan of the soon-to-be-former PM Cameron, he is one of the friendliest British leaders towards Israel in history. Whether inside or outside the European Union, a powerful and prosperous U.K. is important for Israel due to the close economic, strategic, scientific and cultural cooperation between the two. Great Britain is Israel’s chief trade partner on the continent and if its economy suffers as a result of leaving the EU, the ripple effect will be felt in Israel too. Despite growing calls in the U.K. and outside for an academic boycott on Israel, for instance, recently over 350 leading Israeli and British medical researchers met at the University of Oxford in the largest bilateral gathering in years. With the absence of British influence in Europe, Israel is going to be more vulnerable not only to a formal BDS but also the more subtle slowdown in collaboration on wide range of issues. Lastly, Israel as a Jewish state has a sense of responsibility towards world Jewry. Brexit represents, among other phenomena, the rise of nationalism not only in Britain, but across the entire continent. Far-right parties, such as the National Front in France or the Northern League in Italy, expressed their joy at the outcome of the British referendum and demanded similar referenda in their own countries. The rise of nationalism in Europe, of which Brexit is one manifestation, is not a good sign for minorities in the continent, especially for the Jewish minority and their very particular history of persecution. All considered, the British decision that its future lies outside the EU will raise a number of alarm bells among the decision makers in Jerusalem, especially knowing that there is very little they can do about it. Prof. Yossi Mekelberg is the head of the International Relations & Social Sciences Programme at Regent’s University London and associate fellow of the MENA Programme at Chatham House.

Deadlocked Supreme Court blocks Obama on immigration

By Lydia Wheeler and Jordan Fabian - 06/23/16 10:41 AM EDT

The Supreme Court dealt a critical blow to President Obama's immigration policies on Thursday, deadlocking in a 4-4 decision over two controversial programs the White House wants to implement. The tied vote leaves in place a lower court ruling that blocks a program allowing undocumented immigrants who are parents of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents to remain in the United States for three years and apply for work permits. It also prevents the administration from otherwise expanding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program issued by Obama in 2012. This is the most prominent Supreme Court case to stall in a 4-4 tie, and it raises the stakes further in this fall's presidential election. After Justice Antonin Scalia died in February, Obama nominated federal Judge Merrick Garland to the court. But Senate Republicans, even before that nomination, said they would not hold a vote or a hearing for anyone nominated by Obama, arguing the pivotal vote on the high court should be determined by the next president. The White House and Democrats in Congress have howled in rage over that move, and Thursday's decision will increase tensions over the Senate blockade. Obama in an appearance from the White House press briefing room decried what he called the "lack" of a decision by the eight-justice court. “The fact the Supreme Court wasn’t able to issue a decision today doesn’t just set the system back even further, it takes us further back from the country we want to be," he said. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) blasted the GOP Senate majority for failing to consider Garland in comments on the Supreme Court's steps. "This 4-4 decision is clear evidence we need nine justices on the court," Durbin said. Democratic Party standard-bearer Hillary Clinton has backed the president’s actions and said she would go even further as president to reshape immigration policy. "Today’s deadlocked decision from the Supreme Court is unacceptable, and shows us all just how high the stakes are in this election,” she said in a statement. Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump has pledged to place tough new restrictions on illegal immigration, including the construction of a massive wall along the U.S.'s southern border that he says Mexico will pay for. Republicans hailed the high court’s vote. “The Supreme Court’s ruling makes the president’s executive action on immigration null and void,” Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said in a statement. “The Constitution is clear: The president is not permitted to write laws — only Congress is. This is another major victory in our fight to restore the separation of powers.” Thursday's action does not affect the original DACA decision by Obama that allows certain children who entered or stayed in the United States illegally to remain in the country and apply for work permits. Twenty-six Republican-led states sued the federal government over the expansion of that program, as well as the new program for parents, after the president issued fresh executive actions in November 2014. The states claimed they would be burdened by having to spend more on public services like healthcare, law enforcement and education if undocumented parents of both American citizens and legal permanent residents were allowed to stay in the country. Texas, specifically, said it would be hurt by having to issue more driver's licenses, a benefit that’s now subsidized. Supporters of the administration argued that Texas could pass the added costs for driver’s licenses on to residents. They claim the challenging states actually stand to make money off Obama’s programs from an increase in tax contributions. A three-judge panel from a federal appeals court in New Orleans said in a split decision the Obama administration lacked the legal power to shield more than 4 million undocumented immigrants from deportation and grant them work permits. It handed a nationwide injunction preventing the administration from putting the programs into place. By failing to provide a new ruling on that decision, the Supreme Court's action on Thursday leaves it in place. The actual lawsuit suit filed by the 26 states is still working its way through the court system. When Obama took the action to expand his immigration programs, it was part of a last-ditch effort to take action after Congress failed to pass a sweeping overhaul of nation’s immigration system that would have offered a path to citizenship for millions of people living in the country illegally. Immigrant rights activists derided Obama as the “deporter in chief” for ramping up the pace of deportations during his first term. Since then, he’s taken steps to narrow the focus of immigration enforcement, and his executive actions were seen as a centerpiece of his push to reverse that trend.

Pentagon ban on transgender troops 'likely' to be lifted next month

Published June 25, 2016 FoxNews.com

The Pentagon is "likely" to repeal its ban on transgender service members next month, defense officials told Fox News Friday, even as one report claimed an announcement could happen as soon as next week. According to USA Today, top personnel officials could meet as soon as Monday to finalize details of the plan. Deputy Defense Secretary Bob Wolk would sign off on the plan and Defense Secretary Ash Carter would give his final approval shortly before the July 4 weekend. Pentagon officials would not confirm the USA Today report's timetable to Fox News, but spokesman Peter Cook told reporters earlier this week that a decision on the matter was coming "soon." "I can tell you that we have made progress," said Cook. "[Carter] has indicated that he expects to make a final decision soon, and that's exactly where we are." Late Friday, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, accused Carter of putting "the political agenda of a departing administration ahead of the military’s readiness crisis." Carter announced last year that the ban on transgender troops serving openly would be lifted unless it was proven that such an action would have a negative "impact on military effectiveness and readiness." In his statement, Thornberry said Carter had failed to answer a series of questions posed by the committee at the time of Carter's initial announcement, including the cost of modifying barracks and bathroom facilities. The Defense Department currently disqualifies transgender troops from the service on medical grounds. USA Today also reported that several issues related to repealing the transgender ban have caused contention at the Pentagon, most notably how long troops would need to serve before being eligible for gender reassignment surgery. Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson contributed to this report.

President Obama Refuses to Protect Californians' Religious Freedom

12:00PM EDT 6/22/2016 Bob Eschliman

U.S. Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), co-chair of the Bipartisan Congressional Pro-Life Caucus, reacted sternly Tuesday evening to news the Obama administration is now "reinterpreting" the Weldon Amendment to allow California's mandate that all insurance companies pay for abortion and abortion-inducing drugs to continue. Smith said the move was a "new low" for the administration. "This means that Californians, including churches, will continue to be forced to pay for elective abortions in their insurance plans," he said. "The Weldon amendment—named for the Florida Congressman Dave Weldon who authored it—has been renewed and signed into law annually, including by President Obama. "The Weldon Amendment protects against state-imposed abortion mandates, but Obama's administration has again shown blatant disregard for the rule of law." The Weldon Amendment is an annual appropriations rider, signed into law consistently since 2004, which protects against state-imposed discrimination on the basis of declining to pay for or participate in abortion. Since August of 2014, California has mandated that all churches in the state must cover all abortions in their insurance plans—even in plans where abortion had previously been excluded. Numerous churches filed complaints with the HHS Office of Civil Rights seeking enforcement of the Weldon Amendment. Tuesday, the HHS Office of Civil Rights released the results of its investigation into the California mandate, stating it "found no violation of the Weldon Amendment and is closing this matter without further action." Smith said the decision illustrates "the far reaches of Obama's radical pro-abortion ideology" by forcing churches and communities of faith that have pro-life convictions to "participate in and pay for a practice that dismembers and chemically poisons unborn children." "Congress must not let this discrimination stand," he said. "We must take this issue out of the hands of the Obama administration by moving enforcement of current conscience protections to the courts. Congress needs to enact legislation so churches and other victims have a 'private right of action' so they can have their day in court." Draw closer to God.

Obama creates first national gay rights monument

By Devin Henry - 06/24/16 12:00 PM EDT

President Obama has established a new national monument at New York’s Stonewall Inn, the first such dedication marking the gay rights movement in the United States. The Stonewall Inn is a Greenwich Village gay bar and the site of a police raid and subsequent riots in 1969 that helped ignite the American gay rights movement. In a White House video released Friday, Obama said that movement “ultimately became an integral part of America.” Naming a monument at Stonewall Inn as a national monument has been in the works for months. But its official commemoration on Friday comes as America’s LGBT community reels from the mass shooting that killed 49 people at an Orlando gay nightclub earlier this month. That attack, categorized by federal officials as both a hate crime and terrorist attack, has added fuel to the debate over federal legal protections for the LGBT community that had already played out publicly and acrimoniously in the U.S. House this year. It also brought the gay rights movement directly into the political debate over guns: the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s biggest LGBT advocacy group, announced last week that it would advocate for stricter gun control measure after the shooting. The Stonewall designation is part of an Obama administration effort to highlight the LGBT rights movement around the country. The Department of Interior announced in May 2014 that it would conduct a “theme study” of important LGBT sites around the United States. It has named nine sites historical landmarks or added them to the National Register of Historic Places since then. “Stonewall will be our first national monument to tell the story of the struggle for LGBT rights,” Obama said in the video. “I believe our national parks should reflect the full story of our country: the richness and diversity and uniquely American spirit that has always defined us, that we are stronger together, that out of many, we are one.” Interior Secretary and National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis will attend a dedication ceremony for the monument — in neighboring Christopher Park — on Monday. —This post was updated at 2:00 p.m.

NWO Wounded And Backs Against The Wall - Will Trump Deal Its Death Blow? 'Globalists To Launch Wave Of False Flags' To Stop The Liberty Movement

June 25, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

Long called 'conspiracy theory', a term invented by the CIA in 1967 to attack anyone who questions the 'official narrative', the 'new world order' and 'global elite' have been called out and rebuffed in huge ways in recent days, including a Brexit which sees those living in Great Britain taking their country back as well as the recent shock to Barack Obama's 'open doors to terrorists' immigration policy that was dealt a death blow by the US Supreme Court only days ago. As we hear in the first of two videos below from Infowars, the 'nwo' is wounded, and a presidency of Donald Trump would be THE opportunity to deal it a final death blow for our generation if not for all of time. Will Americans get a chance to take back our country from the globalist forces that have been attempting to rip our country away from us for many years with many warning that Barack Obama is leading the treasonous way? Susan Duclos told us in a story yesterday on ANP, after Brexit, the 'global elite' are now freaking out in panic and as we hear in the 2nd video below from Infowars and David Knight, the globalists are also unleashing a wave of false flags across the US in a last-ditch attempt to stop the liberty movement and Donald Trump. The only way that they can be successful is if Americans continue to stay dumbed down to false flag terrorism and the very real danger that Islam poses to so-called 'moderate' Muslims and anybody else not Islamic worldwide as ISIS terrorists continue global jihad. We have long warned that the globalists will never allow an 'America-1st' president to take office and we expect that they'll probably pull out all stops in an attempt to put an end to the Trump phenomenon, one way or another. As we were asked to do in a story from TruNews recently linked to on the website of Steve Quayle, if we are Christians, we should be praying for the health and safety of Donald Trump as according to Dr. James Dobson, Founder of Focus on the Family and a famous evangelical, Donald Trump has accepted Jesus into his heart and his life. Nearly two years ago, Barack Obama warned that 'there is not a force on Earth' that could stop his 'open doors to terrorists' immigration policy though now that it appears that his words have met up against 'that force', the US Supreme Court, which has told Obama he and his administration have stepped way over the line with his powers. Shouldn't a president or anyone else in America who are enabling and aiding terrorists in this country be held responsible for those decisions when they lead to situations like what happened in San Bernardino, California or Orlando, Florida, after Hillary Clinton's State Department blocked investigations into Omar Mateen's mosque? Isn't Hillary directly responsible for that 'alleged' massacre since her State Department could have stopped it if they'd followed through on their investigation? As we learned in this new story from All-Self-Sustained, this terrorist enabler has seemingly declared war against the American people with what they call a 'terrifying move against the American people,' a huge number of armed federal agents that have given him 'his own private army' that he told us years ago he was seeking to build. Telling us within this story that Obama's own private Army is even bigger than the US Marine Corps leads us to ask, are Obama and the rapidly failing 'new world order' planning on using this 'private army' against the American people in a last-ditch attempt to keep America part of the globalists playground, as well as keeping this country a terrorist breeding ground, rapidly expanding on Obama's watch? As we're told in the final video below, the globalists will likely attempt to pull out every last ditch effort and weapon in their arsenal in an attempt to keep control of our nation. Like a wounded animal with its back against the wall, the globalists now have very little to lose with their dreams of world domination crumbling, a rapidly awakening Western populace, and Donald Trump in the wings, ready to help Americans take our country back from the forces who have long been plotting against us. Will the globalists be successful in using their ultimate 'false flag' weapon, the ISIS terrorists that Hillary and Obama along with John McCain were responsible for arming, against us? Whether or not they soon pull off their 'final false flag' that leads to an America back under their thumb and the ever present boot stomping upon a human face forever or Americans finally rise up, once and for all, and take our country back, the answer is clear....only time will tell. This story of America fighting, once again, for freedom against globalist overlords is one of the most important stories in this day and age of humanity's fight for justice against this global cabal intent on forever enslaving the entire human populace. While Britain has temporarily won against globalists and tyranny, with Brexit, Americas fate hangs in the balance with an election only months away... and because of that...this story...will be continued. It's America's turn to take back our country's sovereignty now.

EXCLUSIVE AUDIO: Eyewitness confirms allegations that migrants raped five-year-old Idaho girl

June 22, 2016 Faith GoldyRebel Host

A five-year-old girl raped by Muslim migrant boys in America and the mainstream media’s first instinct is to dismiss the story and label local residents racist bigots and "Islamophobes"? The "don’t ask, don’t tell" doctrine on the refugee file is becoming painfully routine— but, playing politics over the alleged rape of a five year would seem unethical and indefensible. And yet, this week, that is exactly what happened. News out of an apartment complex in Twin Falls, Idaho: A five-year-old girl sexually assaulted in a laundry room by two refugee boys as a third boy looked on, filming the attack. An eighty-nine-year-old neighbour saw suspicious activity and approached the area to become eye witness to what can only be described as a fearful scene. Immediately, local papers rushed to discredit the story as false claims being spread to incite anti-refugee sentiment. And their narrative was bolstered the County Prosecutor who said there had been no Syrians, no knife, and no gang-rape. Well, just because the mainstream media was unwilling to follow up, doesn’t mean we here at The Rebel were about to ignore or downplay the broader allegations at the heart of this story. After one news outlet published the name of the alert eighty-nine year old who became eye witness to the alleged incident, I gave that woman, Jolene Payne, a call. WATCH my exclusive report about the incident and my conversation with Jolene Payne. According to Ms. Payne's account, there were three naked migrant boys in the laundry room with the naked five year old girl, who was covered in urine, and a fourth migrant boy stood outside filming the attack, which was what drew her to the scene. Ms. Payne does not know where the boys are from specifically but confirmed they were from migrant families. To be sure, according the the U-S State Department’s Refugee Processing Centre, Twin Falls Idaho has received over three hundred migrants from Iraq and over one hundred and sixty Sudanese migrants, while Idaho has received just shy of sixty Syrian migrants since war broke out there in 2011. Ms Payne, a former nurse, told me she had seen a lot in her long life but nothing like this. Ms. Payne also told me there was no knife involved, but that people might be confused because of another event in Twin Falls not long ago, which involved another migrant boy who pulled a knife on another little American girl. Ms Payne, referred to as "Grandma Jo" by the neighbourhood children, answered all my questions with consistency and a confident recollection of the facts. Her story did not sway. There was only one question I had left: Was there any evidence the five year old girl had been raped? Here’s what she told me:

Payne: Her dad and mother told me. And I told them, “Okay.” Yeah, that’s what they said at the hospital.

Goldy: So, the father and the mother told you that the little five-year-old girl had been raped?

Payne: Yeah, ‘cos they took her to the hospital in the ambulance and she was checked.

According to Ms Payne’s account, doctors told this little girl’s parents their five-year-old daughter had been raped. As stated in Islam’s Holy Book, the Quran, a woman’s testimony is only worth half that of a man’s and a woman needs four witnesses to prove a rape occurred. Often times, in Muslim countries, rape victims are found to be at fault. But here in North America, we aren’t ruled by Sharia law. And, despite bleats from the Left, there is no rape culture in the West. In America, rapists are charged, tried, and convicted based on evidence and the rule of law. In the wake of the Orlando terrorist attack, political correctness concealed the shooter’s Islamist motives and left the gay community in the dark. I pray, in the wake of the Idaho attack, political correctness does not obscure real rape culture to leave this little girl re-victimized, but brings her migrant attackers to justice so that they might never re-offend. (NOTE: This isn't the first time I've had to follow up on dismissed allegations of child abuse where the perpetrators were Muslim migrant children -- I did so in Halifax earlier this year.)

Obama Bashes Whitey in Speech at Entrepreneurship Summit (Video)

Jim Hoft Jun 24th, 2016 2:23 pm 261 Comments

Barack Obama spoke at the 2016 Global Entrepreneurship Summit Friday in Palo Alto, California. This was his first speech after the Brexit vote left another mark on his years of failed leadership at home and abroad. Obama: When people can start their own businesses it helps people and families succeed… It offers a positive path for young people seeking to make something of themselves and can empower people who previously have been locked out of the existing social order, women, minorities, others who aren’t part of the old boys network. Did you catch that? According to Obama only women and minorities aren’t part of the “good old boy” networks – run by white men. He must believe ALL WHITE MEN are openly accepted in all the “good old boys” networks. According to Obama, all white men are granted privileges and given access not because of their work but because of their skin color. Isn’t that racist? This man is so offensive – and ignorant. Of course, the liberal media won’t say anything because they believe it is perfectly acceptable to single out and abuse white men.

Trump: America has Chance to ‘reject rule by global elite’

Trump on Brexit: "Basically, they took back their county”

Adan Salazar - June 24, 2016

Presidential candidate Donald Trump on Friday congratulated the UK for voting to assert its independence from the European Union, and encouraged the American people in November to also assert their independence from the “global elite.” Following the British vote to exit the EU, Trump said the election results marked a shift toward more nationalistic tendencies.

Obama Declares WAR On America With TERRIFYING Move Against The People

There’s little question whether or not we live in troubled times, but a move from the Obama administration has many people questioning the motive behind it and whether or not it’s preparing for war with the people. As we all know, it’s illegal for our military to carry out any operations on our homeland against the American people. Of course, even if such an illegal order was given, our brave men and women who serve would ignore it anyway, as would many who served in the National Guard, which makes one wonder; why are our federal bureaucracies so heavily armed? A new report from Open the Books, a taxpayer watchdog group, found that for the first time in American history, there’s more armed domestic federal government employees than there are members of the Marine Corps, and that number is steadily rising. The Washington Free Beacon has more: There are now more non-military government employees who carry guns than there are U.S. Marines, according to a new report. Open the Books, a taxpayer watchdog group, released a study Wednesday that finds domestic government agencies continue to grow their stockpiles of military-style weapons, as Democrats sat on the House floor calling for more restrictions on what guns American citizens can buy. The “Militarization of America” report found civilian agencies spent $1.48 billion on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment between 2006 and 2014. Examples include IRS agents with AR-15s, and EPA bureaucrats wearing camouflage. “Regulatory enforcement within administrative agencies now carries the might of military-style equipment and weapons,” Open the Books said. “For example, the Food and Drug Administration includes 183 armed ‘special agents,’ a 50 percent increase over the ten years from 1998-2008. At Health and Human Services (HHS), ‘Special Office of Inspector General Agents’ are now trained with sophisticated weaponry by the same contractors who train our military special forces troops.” The same report found that there’s over 200,000 armed non-military federal officers with arrest capability, and they have the same weaponry that the military uses. So what’s it all for? If you remember, on July 2, 2008, then-presidential candidate, Barack Obama said, “We cannot rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We gotta have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.” Perhaps that offers us some clues as to why these agencies aren’t relying on local police like they used to. So is Obama now arming these agencies so they become the domestic military force that he said we needed back in 2008? At the end of September 2015, Pope Francis boarded a plane back to the Vatican after and extremely controversial trip to America. Shortly after he left, Obama was back in the public eye, attacking religious freedom. Later that night, at a Democratic National Committee-sponsored event in New York, promoted as a “LGBT Gala,” Obama took the stage. During his speech, he warned Christians throughout the country that religious freedom was not as important as gay rights. “We affirm that we cherish our religious freedom and are profoundly respectful of religious traditions,” the POTUS said. “But we also have to say clearly that our religious freedom doesn’t grant us the freedom to deny our fellow Americans their constitutional rights.” Obama criticized Christian groups for their “genuine concerns.” Still, he insisted that the issue was being pushed by Republicans, who were simply trying to acquire more votes. Fast forward to today, and it is clear that Obama is more than happy to throw out our Constitutional rights entirely as long as he gets more votes for his anti-gun agenda. It is ironic that Obama ignores the constitution when it comes to our gun rights, but clings on to it to push his LGBT agenda. “America has left the leaders of the Republican Party behind,” Obama said during his speech in September, before lashing out at then-candidates Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, and Mike Huckabee. It is very clear from Obama’s actions that the US citizens needs to be disarmed while a new army (that will obey his demands) is growing every day. Where do you think his actions will lead? Well, that remains to be seen, but this much is for certain; these agencies don’t need this kind of weaponry given the jobs they’re tasked with, so something sinister appears to be happening behind the scenes.

'It's one of the most devastating I've ever seen': California wildfire kills an elderly couple, destroys 80 homes, threatens 1,500 more and triggers evacuation

Fire has broken out at Lake Isabella, near Bakersfield in central California

Several thousand people have been told to evacuate as flames spread

Elderly couple trying to flee from flames were overcome with smoke and killed, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said

By Associated Press and Chris Summers For Mailonline Published: 01:30 EST, 24 June 2016 | Updated: 01:10 EST, 25 June 2016

A deadly wildfire that roared through dry brush and trees in the mountains of central California gave residents little time to flee as flames burned dozens of homes to the ground, propane tanks exploded, and smoke obscured the path to safety. An elderly couple trying to flee from the flames were overcome with smoke outside of their house and killed, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said. Their bodies were found Friday near Lake Isabella, a popular recreation area east of Bakersfield that was ravaged by wind-whipped flames, said Phil Neufeld, a county fire spokesman. At least 80 houses were destroyed in the southern Sierra Nevada as the fire burned out of control across nearly 47 square miles, leveling neighborhoods and forcing thousands of people to flee from fast-moving flames. The names of the two dead have not been released. The sheriff said his department hasn't been able to search very extensively and would be looking through burned homes with cadaver dogs seeking more possible victims. David Klippel, 78, a retired police officer, said he didn't see much of a threat after receiving an automated call advising him to leave. That changed dramatically within an hour Thursday afternoon. 'I've never been so close to a fast-moving, ferocious fire. It was unbelievable,' said Klippel, who later learned his house had caught fire. 'I almost didn't have time to get out.' Neighborhoods of mobile homes were charred to their foundations. Gusty winds pushed the flames and smoke farther into drought-starved terrain. The fire is 5 per cent contained. 'The forces of nature collided with a spark,' Kern County Fire Chief Brian Marshall said. 'The mountainous terrain, five years of drought and wind gusts of over 20 mph all drove a fire over 11 miles in 13 hours.' Scorching heat and tinder-dry conditions across the West have contributed to massive wildfires in the past week that have destroyed properties and sent residents to seek shelter and hope for the best. Laura Rogers was one of those who thought she'd never see her home or her brother's home again. Instead, she was lucky to find both standing in a neighborhood of mobile homes that was devastated. 'I was sure this place was gone last night,' Rogers said through tears as she gestured at the destruction around her. 'I mean look at this, I can't believe it. It's like a scary movie.' The downspout of her brother's home was melted on the ground, but the structure was intact. Dozens of other homes were gone, left in piles of charred sheet metal and cinderblock foundations. Scorched tricycles, air conditioners and TV dishes littered the landscape. Burned-out cars sat on tireless rims and leafless trees poked from barren, blackened dirt. The California blaze erupted quickly, putting some 1,500 homes in jeopardy. Three firefighters suffered from smoke inhalation. Crews faced a 'firefight of epic proportions' as they tried to protect neighborhoods, Marshall said. Officials said they expect to find many more homes destroyed as the smoke clears and they do a more thorough check of smoldering neighborhoods. Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency, freeing up money and resources to fight the fire and cleanup its aftermath. It also temporarily suspends some state regulations and waives fees as a way to ease the return of evacuees and those who have lost homes. Dramatic video from Thursday night showed homes fully engulfed and others already gone as propane tanks flared up and popped. Flames glowing in the steep, rocky hillsides were reflected on the lake. Residents described a frantic flight from communities surrounding the lake, a dammed section of the Kern River that is a destination for boating, fishing, rafting, hiking and camping. Cachet Kirby, 22, of Mount Mesa and her neighbors grabbed clothes, blankets and their dogs and fled through thick smoke as flames charged down the slopes. 'It was to the point you couldn't see, you couldn't breathe,' she said. She and others, exhausted Friday morning after little sleep in shelters and cars, were desperate for information about their homes. 'We could have gotten lucky and the wind shifted, or our house could be burned down,' Kirby said. Cellphone service was cut off in many areas, contributing to the anxieties. Very low humidity and gusty winds of up to 55 mph could worsen the blaze that broke out amid high temperatures and climbed over at least three ridges into hillside neighborhoods. Kern County fire captain Tyler Townsend said: 'I've never been in a wildland fire where I've seen so many homes burn. It's one of the most devastating I've ever seen.' Capt Townsend said many of the houses in the area have propane tanks, adding to the danger. Several thousand people were told to evacuate in Bella Vista, South Fork, Weldon, Onyx, Lakeland Estates, Mountain Mesa, South Lake, Squirrel Valley, and Yankee Canyon. But some have refused to leave their homes. Hillside homes along dirt roads were consumed by heavy flames in Squirrel Mountain Valley, a community of about 500 people. Smoky haze could be seen for miles around, and orange flames lit the evening air as planes and helicopters dropped brightly colored flame retardant on the blaze. Elsewhere in the state, cooler weather helped crews fighting two fires that burned more than eight square miles of chaparral and brush in the Angeles National Forest and foothill communities northeast of Los Angeles. More than 1,300 homes in Duarte and Azusa were evacuated, but half have been allowed back. Near the Mexican border in San Diego County, an 11-square-mile fire burned down five homes.

'Clock is ticking' for megaquake in Missouri that could cause 'all hell to break loose' across Middle America

The New Madrid Seismic Zone is 150 miles long

Experts say a quake would impact seven states - Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi

By Mark Prigg For Dailymail.com Published: 12:24 EST, 24 June 2016 | Updated: 15:46 EST, 24 June 2016

While San Andreas and Cascadia are well known for their potential to cause a megaquakes, researchers have warned a little known fault in the midwest is also long overdue a tremor. The New Madrid Seismic Zone is 150 miles long, and experts say a quake would impact seven states - Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi. They claim 'all hell would break loose,' with 715,000 buildings damaged and 2.6m people left without power. The Mid-America Earthquake Center at the University of Illinois released a report in 2009, which suggested the effects of a force seven or stronger quake from the fault line. Amr Elnashai, the study's lead author, wrote 'All hell will break loose.' The 150-mile (240 km) long fault system, which extends into five states, stretches southward from Cairo, Illinois; through Hayti, Caruthersville and New Madrid in Missouri; through Blytheville into Marked Tree in Arkansas. It also covers a part of West Tennessee, near Reelfoot Lake, extending southeast into Dyersburg. It is southwest of the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone. Most of the seismicity is located between 3 and 15 miles (4.8 and 24.1 km) beneath the Earth's surface, researchers believe. The area has not seen significant earthquakes for more than 200 years. In the winter of 1811 and 1812 there were three earthquakes of magnitude 7 - as high as 7.7 - and a series of aftershocks across the American Midwest.

West Virginia flooding, worst in '100 years,' leaves at least 23 dead, including two children

BY David Boroff NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Updated: Saturday, June 25, 2016, 12:04 AM

Some of the worst flooding in West Virginia "in 100 years" has left at least 23 people dead, including two children. Tens of thousands of residents were left without power and many roads were impassable after nine inches of rain came down on Thursday, officials said. The hardest hit counties include Greenbrier, Nicholas, Fayette, Kanawha and Webster. In Greenbrier, a flaming house could be seen floating down a creek. Approximately 100 homes have been damaged, and the death toll rose to 23 by Friday night, WCBH-TV reported. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin said that there had been 9 inches of rain in the state, adding, "It's been a long 24 hours, and the next 24 hours, and the next 24 hours may not be an easier." Tornado kills 51 people, destroys numerous buildings in China His address came as the deluge brought unprecedented damage to the Mountain State. "Roads destroyed, bridges out, homes burned down, washed off foundations," Greenbrier County Sheriff Jan Cahill said. "Multiple sections of highway just missing. Pavement just peeled off like a banana. I've never seen anything like that." An 8-year-old boy and a 4-year-old boy who were swept away in different counties, authorities said. The death toll was expected to increase, said Cahill, who described "complete chaos" in his county. "Today's just an accountability mission, trying to verify where everybody's at and follow up on missing person tips," Cahill said. "It's really hard to navigate around because there's just a ton of debris. We've even had rescuers that had to be rescued."

Two earthquakes jolt Ecuador just a month after quake killed 661 The body of 8-year-old Emanual Williams, known as "Manny," was found after he fell into Big Wheeling Creek on Thursday, said Wheeling pastor Harry Croft. Manny's mother told him that she was walking across the creek with her son and daughter because Manny wanted to catch crayfish. One of the kids slipped, and the mother grabbed both the boy and his sister in the swift current. "She lost her grip on Manny," the pastor said. The 4-year-old boy, identified by NBC News as Edward McMillion, was found about a quarter mile from where he fell into a creek, which usually runs about ankle deep but rose to about 6 feet deep when Jackson County was pounded with rain. W. Va. man accused of killing 3 victims over firewood arrested The boy was outside with his grandfather, who jumped in after the boy but the water was rushing too quickly. Neighbors, alerted by screams, tried to help save the boy but were also unable to reach him. Belinda Scott had fled to the attic after smelling gas, though her house then blew up and killed her two dogs. She held on to a tree for more than four hours before being rescued, and is currently hospitalized with burns on 67% of her body, her husband Ronnie said. A state of emergency was issued Thursday for 44 of the 55 counties in the state. Tomblin authorized the deployment of up to 200 members of the West Virginia National Guard to help local emergency responders. N.J., Brooklyn kin of dead Fort Hood soldiers recall loved ones "We had swift water rescue teams out until late last night and back out again his morning literally rescuing people from rooftops and upper stories of houses," he said. One of those rescued from the top of his roof was Paul Moya, who is diabetic. "I'm still shaking," he told CBS News from the hospital. "I really just want to break down and cry right now. All I could see was the homes burning and the electrical poles burning. I think I could say that now I was scared." “We surely need your prayers, because there’s a lot of people hurting right now,” Greenbrier Resort owner Jim Justice told The Weather Channel. Pro golfer Bubba Watson was at the resort and tweeted photos of entire holes underwater: "Prayers for @The_Greenbrier & surrounding areas. We are without power & it's still raining. Never seen this much rain! #WestVirginiaBeSafe." Rescue crews on Friday began evacuating approximately 500 people trapped by high water at the Crossings Mall in Elkview. Eric Blackshire was able to get to safety when volunteer firefighters used a rope to guide people down a hillside. "It was kind of like a hurricane party. I guess you could call it a flood party. There were lots of beers being drank last night," he said. Kanawha County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Brian Humphreys said a temporary bridge may be needed to get everyone out. Richwood Mayor Robert Johnson said there was extensive damage to his city. "We pretty much live in a bowl, and the bowl filled with water, certainly," he said. Some areas were looking at flooding "that's going to be the worst in 100 years," said Chris Stadelman, Tomblin's communications director. "My mother-in-law has lived here for 80 years, and this never happened before," Mark Burgess of Elkview told NBC News. "There is nothing you can do. We can call for help if it's too deep, but it's OK right now." A dam at Summit Lake was operating normally but was being watched closely, the Gazette Mail reported. "The dam is still there. It is still functioning the way it is supposed to function," Ray Torres, deputy forest supervisor at the U.S. Forest Service headquarters in Elkins, told the paper. Across the state line, the crisis is nearly as dire in Virginia. Gov. Terry McAuliffe declared a state of emergency due to the flooding in Alleghany County and Covington. The Virginia Department of Transportation warns that more than a dozen Alleghany County roads were closed Friday morning. There were approximately 1,700 customers without power statewide. "It's really bad. There's a raging river," Alleghany County Chief Sheriff's Deputy Matt Bowser told NBC News. "There's 500-gallon oil tanks and trash cans and gas cans and tree trunks floating down the river where people's backyards are. You can see people in the second-story windows waiting to be evacuated." With News Wire Services With TOBIAS SALINGER

CNN Talking Head, Fareed Zakaria, Kicked into Touch by Russia’s President Putin

June 24, 2016 By Vanessa Beeley 5 Comments Vanessa Beeley 21st Century Wire

In October 2015, Council on Foreign Relations member and CNN talking head, Fareed Zakaria, made the following statement on his blog that aptly demonstrated the yawning chasm that exists between Whitehouse media mouthpieces and the reality of the war against Syria fomented and fuelled on all fronts by a US government protecting its geopolitical interests and those of its allies in the region in the only way it understands, via “regime change” “If defeating the Islamic State is important, then it has to become the overriding priority, allying with any outside forces that will join the fight. If Assad falls and jihadis take Damascus, that would be worse than if Assad stays. This doesn’t mean providing Assad with any support, but allowing him to create an Alawite enclave in Syria, of a kind that is already forming. The Kurds and moderate Syrians are creating their own safe spaces as well. Even if the civil war ends and a country called Syria remains, these groups will not live all intermingled again.” “So far in Syria, the West has combined maximalist, uncompromising rhetoric with minimalist, ineffective efforts. It is the yawning gap between the two that is making Vladimir Putin look smart.” ~ Fareed Zakaria In this mind-boggling display of that all too familiar American exceptionalism, the attributes of any world statesperson being entirely dependent upon their reflection in the US mirror, Zakaria set himself up for a crashing fall. That fall came when Zakaria was invited to moderate a panel discussion at Saint Petersburg Economic Forum, which ran from June 16th to June 18th of this year. Present on stage were, Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, President Putin, and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. Putin throughout the interview manages Zakaria with his usual adroit and intelligent responses. However, when Zakaria confronts Putin with reference to his alleged comments on Trump, we see the full force of Putin’s razor sharp wit and intellect turned against the CNN frontman with devastating effect. The quote that Zakaria refers to is taken from The Hill and Political Insider among others: Russian President Vladimir Putin had kind words for his “stablemate” Donald Trump during an annual end-of-the-year Q&A session in Moscow. “[Donald Trump is] a really brilliant and talented person, without any doubt,” [Vladimir] Putin told reporters, according to a translation by Interfax. “It’s not our job to judge his qualities, that’s a job for American voters, but he’s the absolute leader in the presidential race.” [emphasis added] Zakaria with the smugness of certainty in his information asks Putin if he stands by his opinion of Trump. Putin responds with the certainty that comes from the experience of dealing with propagandists. He clears his throat and projects the sardonic look that he is expert at which illicits a ripple of laughter from his audience and fellow guests. Putin: “You are very well known in our country Mr Zakaria, and not only as a presenter with one of the world’s largest TV networks but also as an intellectual, so let me ask you, why do you keep distorting facts? The journalist tramples upon the analyst expert in you. What I said was that Mr Trump is a flamboyant, colourful, bright personality but isnt he flamboyant? He is, and there is nothing more to add. What I really like about him, and I very much welcome that, is Mr Trump said he would be willing to restore a fully fledged relationship between Russia and the US [applause]. I think everyone would be happy, wouldnt you? ” The Zakaria grimace speaks volumes… ZAKARIA: Turning noticeably red. The interview in full is a further demonstration of how Russia is stealing the march on its US rivals in every sense, diplomatically, politically and militarily in Syria. While our world leaders and representatives in the west trip over their own lies, Russian, Syrian and Iranian statesmen and women maintain a dignity, integrity and intellectual prowess that is captivating to watch. Here is the panel discussion in full, enjoy the second slap down regarding Putin’s working with Hilary Clinton: Last fall, another monolithic establishment media outlet, the BBC, dispatched its own institutional set-piece, John Simpson, to St. Petersberg in order to publicly confront Russia’s Putin. The results were similar that of CNN’s Zakaria, as Putin skillfully deconstructed Simpson’s own dry Council of Foreign Relations and UK Foreign Office talking points and one-sided world view. Watch that embarrassing exchange here:

Hussein Obama, 50; America, 0:More Adventures in Multiculturalism

Posted on June 16, 2016 by Fred Reed

Orlando? So what else is new? Why the excitement? I am puzzled that everyone is distraught over a perfectly ordinary act of terrorism by a perfectly ordinary Muslim terrorist. We have seen these attacks before and will see them again. They grow monotonous, like car crashes. They are as interesting as a commercial break. Why the surprise? We know Muslims kill Christians. We know they stone adulteresses to death. We know they drive airplanes into buildings. We know they mutilate women. We know they bomb airliners. We know they destroy historic monuments. We know they kill their daughters for losing their virginity. We know they kill homosexuals. We know they make coordinated mass attacks on cities. We know they are incompatible with societies of the First World. We know they have no respect for our laws. We know they hate us. Knowing all of this, what do we do? Why…of course! What else? We import more of them. Nothing could make more sense. Ten thousand Syrians, coming to your neighborhood. Thank you, Obama. Thank you in advance, Hillary. More precisely, Hussein Obama imports them. A black President with Islamic roots, barely American, who dislikes white people and recruits immigrants of his two ethnicities as hard as he can. We get utterly unassimilable Somalis in Minnesota, and all the Muslims he can find. Fifty gay men have just paid the price. For Hussein’s policy. The man fascinates me. The two worst actors that America has suffered since Lincoln are Osama bin Laden and Hussein Obama. They easily fit into any list of history’s most effective and influential men, being true geniuses. For a few hundred thousand dollars and an army of a couple of dozen, bin Laden stunningly humiliated America on international television, turned the country into a police state frightened of everything, inspired abrogation of its Constitution, and sucked the country into unending wars. On a cost-benefit basis, it was astonishing. He up-throttled national decline and has Americans hopping barefoot in airports while recordings on subways tell us to watch each other and report “suspicious behavior.” Hussein Obama is in the same majestic league. He has said that he wants to “transform” America, and he has, has he ever, by simply doing what he wants. He found and exploited the hidden weakness in American government, which is that nobody has the balls to tell him “No.” He has won by sheer force of will. You’ve got to hand it to the guy: he’s good. He has set the stage for, at least, unending divisiveness and very possibly for civil war. He will bring in as many more incompatible savages as he can before leaving office, and Hillary, if elected, will be Obama continued by other means. Amazing. The combined militaries of Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany could not do as much lasting harm as this one man. Why does he do it? Look at it as revenge for slavery. Obama bin Osama, I strongly suspect, does. Our post-racial President is in fact the most racial. For those killed by Omar, and their families and friends, there is nothing amusing about the slaughter. In a certain abstract sense, there is. America is like a man beating on his thumb with a hammer and yelling, “Oh! Ouch! Oooh! It hurts!” Why doesn’t he just stop? Well, that would be hammer-phobic. Countries deserve what they tolerate. They even more deserve what they encourage. From Drudge: “Imam speaking in Orlando said gays must be killed out of ‘compassion’…” Hmmmm. Might this not be homophobic? I dare not say so, for fear of being thought Islamophobic. Which I am not. No. I suffer from Islamonausea. It seems that gays have to be killed on the authority of some Fourth Century towel rack. It is because the Religion of Peace says so. If a televangelist in Kansas said that homosexuals had to be killed for Jesus, the entire zoo of talking heads would be on him like lice on a leper and the FBI would gin up fraudulent charges. Watch the media for the outrage that won’t exist as they cover up. You can bet that Hussein Obama will say nothing against his own people. From the standpoint of a curmudgeon, to which ashen-souled tribe I belong, the events in Orlando provide the gray satisfaction of confirmation. We in our dismal trade derive no joy from unavoidable sufferings springing from the routine malice of existence—cancer, automobile wrecks, birth defects—but we thrive on the self-inflicted, on the finger-hammerings accompanied by cries of “Ouch!” We observe that Muslims are nothing but trouble anywhere, so we import Muslims. We observe that diversity is the chief source of bitter strife in the world, so we open the borders. When seeking employees, we deliberately hire people who can’t do the job. In our universities we purposely admit those who neither can nor want to learn. Then, when the obvious, the predictable, indeed the inevitable unexpectedly occurs, we insist that it really didn’t, or shouldn’t have, or wouldn’t have, or something, and do it again. In its way it is wonderfully funny. Unless of course you are among the dead. In Paris the day after Orlando, another Mohammedan emissary of peace stabbed to death a policeman and his wife. (“Allahu Akbar: ‘Mohamed Ali’ Stabs Cop on Street, Slits Throat of Wife…”) Yes, Paris, the city in which heartwarming Muslims have carried out coördinated simultaneous bombings, killed editorial staffs of publications that irked them, burned banlieues and countless cars and successfully intimidate the police. Mon dieu! What can these isolated incidents have in common? Nobody knows. Perhaps the perpetrators were troubled youth. Actually the comic people are only those who generate a personal reality-distortion field and do hilariously foolish things. At the top of the political dunghill it is not stupidity but design. Or so it must be…mustn’t it? One expects academics to gibber and squeak, and neurally-challenged columnists and rabble studentry and talking heads and so on. It takes some very serious believing to believe that the governments of England, France, Holland, Sweden, Denmark and America are too stupid to have noticed what Muslims do, and what they are doing to those countries. Yet governments cover up, hide identities, punish observation as “hate speech,” and keep pumping the barbarians in. Why? Opening America’s southern borders make sense because it makes money for those for whom it makes money. Who profits from flaming arrondissements, explosions in subways, and dead gays? Ah, but the irony is delicious. London, once master of most of the world, has become a branch office of Pakistan and now has a Muslim mayor, who sets about correcting the morals of the English. No photos of women in skimpy clothes, you degenerate rascals. Can caning be far behind? It does a curmudgeon good.

Coincidence Crowed At Barclays Before Brexit

11 days after the Orlando Pulse shooting, the Orlando Magic drafted a player who wears #11 with the #11 overall pick, immediately traded for Serge Ibaka (pronounced “Surge”) on the same night Independence Day: ReSURGEnce opened. This was 11 days before July 4th and the following weekend The Purge: Election Year will open nationwide. PULSE – SURGE – RESURGENCE – PURGE. All events connected by the number that means chaos, disorder and judgment. One of the many non-coincidences from last night we will be covering. Barclays Center in Brooklyn would host the 2016 NBA Draft on June 23rd. Within hours of its conclusion, Barclays would release their statement, Barclays CEO on Brexit vote: “We have stood in service of our customers and clients for over 325 years … That does not change today”. Barclays was established on 11/17/1690, 5540 days later Benjamin Franklin would be born. The events of the past few weeks tie into America’s founding, through its independence from Britain. More importantly, we are witnessing what can only be described as conspicuous warnings that the world is entering a new phase in the coming years, if not sooner. Do NOT allow your eyes to glaze over when you see numbers. For those who can withstand the onslaught of information you will be blessed. Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. If you fear God you need fear nothing else. Out of my fear of God I feel a responsibility to pay attention to His concealed glory. An artist would not much appreciate a patron of the gallery to take a quick dismissive glance. Our Creator is THE Artist of all, let us examine His work and not be shortsighted in what we think constitutes His medium. All the earth is His canvas. If it weren’t for God’s grace and Him providing me this outlet I would most certainly be institutionalized. This is both astonishing and vexing. After addressing the following question we are going to briefly lay a foundation with some overlapping dates which connect major current events. This will be followed by the fascinating connection between Barclays and Brexit, then some aspects of the Draft which jumped out at me. I had no intention of covering this stuff, in fact, nothing I intend to cover do I actually get around to writing about. As with most all other posts, this chose me I did not choose it. How insignificant we really are, in our vanity we make plans but then the NBA Draft happens. But Lord, people are complaining I write about sports too much… Sometimes I like to pretend to be the captain of the crow, a laughable reality for anyone who knows what goes down behind the scenes. The Question Frequently Asked – Why Do You Cover American Sports? One reason is that aside from Hollywood, sports in the west is the largest single entertainment category that crosses all social lines. Young, old, black, white, male, female, Muslim, Jewish. All can relate on one level or another to sports. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who hasn’t thrown or hit a ball, shot a basket or swung a club. The entertainment side of sports has taken on a life of its own. We have the personal story side, reality TV of sorts that appeals to the celebrity obsessed who may or may not care for the competitive side. We worship people, whether for their athletic prowess, celebrity status or both. It is usually both. Adults will find themselves engaged in heated debate over their favorite teams. In a world detached from the traditional human interaction between man and environment, the strategic faculties have been diverted to sports. A step away from fantasy in so far as it doesn’t involve dwarves and elves. The “manly” man, will throw beers at his television during the playoffs and the commercials tell us this is an endearing trait. The advertisements show us a beautiful woman busting her tail, keeping things in order, while her slovenly husband is yelling at the screen. This is America in 2016. Modern sports is the circus of Rome on steroids. Let me state that I have always enjoyed sports. This is not a blanket statement about individuals who watch sports, for I am one of them. We are talking about a societal obsession and a massive distraction from reality. The second reason I cover sports is that it is the most fertile ground for metaphor in current events. We have cities, numbers, colors, names and team names. Each of these individually carry a tremendous language in the symbolic which The Most High uniquely directs in ways only a Sovereign God could. This is what we will cover here, the unmistakable and inexplicable convergences that took place during the last few weeks. Call it what you want, but do not call it coincidence. Coincidence is a lazy way to ignore information you don’t want to deal with. Mystery is precisely that, not to be understood entirely, but it is a grievous mistake for anyone who claims to seek truth to dismiss something because you have nowhere to place it. In other words, dogmatic conclusion or bust. Here’s your dogma, Jesus Christ is the King of Kings, the Hope of Glory by Whom and through Whom all things which are both seen and unseen are created. He is coming again to judge the earth and those whose names are not found in the Lamb’s Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire. Nothing that you can touch, see, hear, feel, smell or think about is outside His providence. So we enter in, we explore these matters without fear. The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. Blessed are those who search out the concealed glory of God. Connecting Events by 11 and 13 For those who are new, it will be helpful to understand the Biblical meanings of 11 and 13. 11 is chaos, disorder and judgment and 13 is rebellion. It is not coincidence that 9/11 and 11/13 were the dates of two major attacks at the hands of Islam, the religion founded by Muhammad who had 13 wives and preached 13 years at Mecca before regrouping and ransacking Medina. Ishmael, was circumcised at 13 and according to Muslim tradition was an ancestor of Muhammad. For the NFL Draft, we covered Eli Apple who wears #13 (rebellion) and went to the Big Apple to join the other Eli, the week before #13 Nyquist won the Kentucky Derby and 6 years, 3 months, 13 days after the Book of Eli came out. The Apple, and the #13 for rebellion. Though we cannot say the fruit in the garden was the “apple” it has come to be understood as such. Eli’s wicked sons rebelled in the desecrating the sacrifice. Nyquist – “NY” – New York, quist – “pigeon, dove, twig” (days of Noah). The one player who went to the same high school as the 44th President happens to wear #44 and the high school he and Obama attended in Hawaii just happens to have 44 buildings and 440 state championships across all sports. punahou

Barclays and Brexit July 8th at Barclays Center we have Nick Jonas performing, once again connecting us to the sign of Jonah. download (6) The Brexit inspired Dow collapse on June 24 took place 7 years, 7 months, 7 weeks after the September 29, 2008 collapse of 777 points. It was 7 years, 7 months, 7 weeks and 5 days… and the Sept 29 2008 drop was 777.68. 5 days is .71 of a week so at the time of the day the 2008 crashed occurred you could say it was .68. The Dow collapsed on June 24, 2016 losing 611 points. Of course 6 and 11 for those who have been following. Any number repeated three times in scripture means complete. 777 is 21 or the date of the summer solstice full moon (6/21) that hasn’t occurred since 1948 and 1967. Within hours of Barclays Center hosting the annual NBA Draft the country in which Barclays is headquartered would pass the historical vote to withdraw from the EU. For many these events would seem unrelated but as we drill down you will see this is far from the case. Barclays is headquartered in London. On June 27, 1967, 20 days after Israel reclaimed Jerusalem, they deployed the world’s first cash dispenser (ATM). There is a monument in honor of this momentous feat. “Lives made much easier”. This date was also 6 days from the 49 years and the summer solstice full moon which took place the last time in 1967. Barclays’ headquarters is One Churchill Place, London Borough Tower of Hamlets. Barclays is the oldest British bank in continuous operation. C Hoare is the oldest family run private bank established 20 years earlier. Barclays is the oldest public bank in Britain. The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it. Daniel 7:4 The day following Barclays and the same day as Brexit, the first LGBT national monument was established at a “bar”, at Stonewall Inn. This is on the 17th of Tammuz on the Torah calendar. We covered previously the significant events which transpired on this date. The other 17th of Tammuz is on July 23 on the Hebrew calendar (Hebrew and Torah are two different calendars). This is the day of the Golden Calf (Golden CAV) which connects us to Cleveland, the city founded by Moses Cleaveland. Pay attention to “cleave” it ties in. Stonewall Inn, known simply as “Where Pride Began”. God resists the proud, so this is one way to stonewall yourself from God. Here is the slang definition of “stonewalling” The idea being that the person is putting up a “stone wall” and impeding your progress in the conversation, and as you cannot see over the side of the wall, you have no idea why it is there. If you try to “climb the wall” to figure it out, then the other party will know your level of interest. No human pride movement is complete without the fist raised to heaven. “Love is Love” Closed fist, says there is nothing I want from you. It is defiance, closed and seeks to strike. Open hand says, I embrace, I give you myself. Open hands receive, clenched fists resist. Open hands raise in worship, closed fists take. Open hands love, closed fists impose. Bar-Clay Bar – stake or rod of iron used to fasten a door or gate. To fasten (a gate, etc.) with a bar,” from bar (n.1); sense of “to obstruct, prevent”. Aramaic for the Hebrew ben, “son.” (Bar-Jonah) A piece of wood, metal, or other material, long in proportion to its breadth or thickness, used as a lever and for various other purposes, but especially for a hindrance, obstruction, or fastening; as, the bars of a fence or gate; the bar of a door.

Revelation 12:5 PULSE – SURGE – RESURGENCE – PURGE 11 days after the Orlando Pulse nightclub shooting, the Orlando Magic select a player who wears #11 with the #11 overall pick, 11 days before the 4th of July.

Dr. James Dobson: Donald Trump Has Accepted Christ

4:00PM EDT 6/24/2016 Bob Eschliman

Is Donald Trump a born-again Christian? According to a well-respected evangelical faith leader, the answer is "Yes." (Reuters photo) Donald Trump, according to a new report, has accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. No, you didn't accidentally click on The Onion. That's a factual statement, according to a well-respected evangelical faith leader. Dr. James Dobson, who was among the more than 900 evangelical faith leaders who met with the Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting in New York City, says it happened fairly recently. He also said he knew who led the businessman to Christ. "I don't know when it was, but it has not been long," Dobson told Godfactor's Michael Anthony in an exclusive interview. "I believe he really made a commitment, but he's a baby Christian. We all need to be praying for him, especially if there's a possibility of him being our next chief executive officer." "I think that he's open," he added. "He doesn't know our language, he really doesn't, and he refers a lot to religion and not much to faith and belief." To that, Anthony responded, "I imagine Saul, when he became Paul, didn't know the language, either." "Yeah, well you've got to cut him some slack. He didn't grow up like we did," Dobson responded. "I think there's hope for him, and I think there's hope for us. I have great concerns about the next election." Dobson said he was in the "small group" of 40 faith leaders who met with Trump earlier in the day at Trump Tower, and that he had a chance to interact directly with the Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting. "He's a lot nicer guy than you [think]," he said. "I think he is listening. There were a lot of people ministering to him personally." Dobson also praised the event, during which he said faith leaders were "genuinely seeking the Lord's direction" in the things Trump was saying. "He's sometimes kind of obscure in the way that he answers questions, and we wanted to ask him directly, with follow-up questions," he said. "We got a chance to do that." Draw closer to God.

Istanbul airport attack marks the latest of several bombings in Turkey over past year

Published June 29, 2016 Associated Press

A look at the suicide bombings in Turkey since July 2015:

-- June 28, 2016 -- Suicide attackers killed at least 36 people and wounded more than 140 at Istanbul's busy Ataturk Airport. Turkish officials said the explosions were probably the work of Islamic State group militants.

-- March 19, 2016 -- A suicide bombing rocked Istanbul's main pedestrian street killing five people, including the bomber, whom authorities identified as a Turkish national linked to IS. Like in the prior attacks blamed on IS, there was no claim of responsibility from the group.

-- March 13, 2016: A Kurdish woman blew herself up in a car at a busy transport hub in Ankara, killing 37 people in an attack that was also claimed by TAK, also known as the Kurdish Freedom Falcons.

-- Feb. 17, 2016: A suicide car bomb apparently targeting military personnel in Ankara killed 29 people in an attack claimed by TAK, an off-shoot of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, which Turkey considers a terrorist organization.

-- Jan. 12, 2016: A suicide bomber blew himself up in the historic district of Istanbul, killing 12 German tourists. Authorities said the attack was carried out by an IS-linked Syrian man who had entered the country as a refugee.

-- Oct. 10, 2015: Twin suicide bombings hit a peace rally outside Ankara's train station, killing 102 people. There was no claim of responsibility but Turkish authorities blamed the attack on a local cell of IS.

-- July 20, 2015: A Turkish national who was an ethnic Kurd blew himself up in in the southern border town of Suruc, killing 33 mostly-Kurdish activists and wounding nearly 100 others in an attack authorities blamed on the Islamic State group.

The awful Israeli-Hezbollah conflict to come

Willy Stern

Hezbollah has a nasty collection of more than 130,000 rockets, missiles, and mortars aimed at Israel. This is a bigger arsenal than all NATO countries (except the United States) combined. Why, a reasonable person might wonder, does Hezbollah need an offensive arsenal bigger than that of all Western Europe? "You don't collect 130,000 missiles if you don't intend to use them," says Matthew Levitt, a counter-terrorism expert at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Hezbollah is a well-funded, violently anti-Israel terrorist organisation based in Lebanon and a puppet of the Iranian regime. In Hezbollah's arsenal are about 700 long-range, high-payload rockets and missiles with names like Fateh-110 and Scud D. They are capable of taking down entire buildings in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem, wreaking havoc at Israel's major military bases, killing thousands of Israeli civilians, shutting down the nation's airports and ports, and taking out the electric grid. And that's just in the first week. Israel's Dilemma Former Israel Defence Forces (IDF) Major General Yaakov Amidror is talking about the M-600 missile. It's a fairly accurate ballistic missile that weighs more than a Hummer H2 and carries a formidable warhead. The M-600 can also deliver chemical weapons. A single M-600 could wipe out a good chunk of Times Square and maim and kill people four football fields away from the point of impact. Hezbollah has a lot of M-600s. Amidror, Israel's former national security adviser, is asked what the next war between Israel and Hezbollah will look like. "We are not looking for war," says Amidror. "But suppose Hezbollah launches an advanced missile like the M-600 at the Kirya, the IDF military headquarters in Tel Aviv, or a large apartment complex in Jerusalem. Our defence technology quickly finds the launcher. It is right under a 22-storey residential building in Beirut. We can now see in real time the launcher being moved back under the building to reload." "We have just minutes to act," explains Amidror. "The IDF will have to take out the launcher because the next missile can cause enormous damage in Israel. But to take out the launcher means the 22-storey building may fall. We would try to use precision-guided missiles to protect civilians but the target is hard to reach. We will try to warn the residents but the timing is tight. That building will almost certainly be hit. And the images in the international media will almost certainly be awful." But, asks Amidror, today a senior fellow at the Begin-Sadat Centre for Strategic Studies, "What alternative do we have?" No good one, since the building in the scenario described would be a legitimate military target. So say a bevy of international military law experts, including Geoff Corn of the South Texas College of Law in Houston, who has studied IDF targeting policies: "After exhausting all feasible efforts to reduce civilian risk, IDF commanders must resolve the decisive question: Is the potential for civilian harm excessive in comparison to the advantages the attack would provide? When you talk of an M-600 in the hands of an enemy that targets vital military assets or the civilian population - even if that apartment building is full - launching the attack will be necessary to mitigate the threat." Professor Corn is well aware of what will happen next. "The international community will look at the images and will note that the immediate cause of destruction was Israeli munitions. But - and here is the kicker - both legally and morally, the cause of these tragic consequences will lie solely at the feet of Hezbollah." Hezbollah cleverly places its arsenal where any Israeli military response - even legal, carefully planned, narrowly targeted, proportionate measures - will lead to huge civilian casualties among Lebanese. Why? Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's cunning leader, sees a win-win situation. He'd like nothing better than for the IDF to kill Lebanese civilians. And if the IDF shies away from attacking legitimate military targets in civilian sectors, then Nasrallah achieves both military and strategic advantages, and his fighters can continue to rain deadly rockets down on Israel's civilians, infrastructure, and military installations. Says one IDF officer, "We don't have the luxury of waiting, monitoring, considering." This writer spent two-plus weeks embedded with IDF units around the country, meeting with scores of soldiers, from sergeants to generals, from frontline commanders to nerdy intelligence analysts, from patrol boat captains to fighter pilots, from civil defence experts to high-tech air defence geeks. All these military tacticians and strategists were intently focused on preparing for the next war with Hezbollah. Why did the IDF pull back the curtain and provide such access not only to its top brass but also to classified documents, war-gaming exercises, and strategic projections? Because Israel wants the world to know that (1) a war with Hezbollah in Lebanon will be, unavoidably, awful; and (2) the massive collateral damage won't be Israel's fault. Even more than that, the IDF seems to be pleading to the international community: Do something. Stop Hezbollah. Before it is too late, and they drag the region into a bloody hellhole. What the War will look like What will a future war look like? Some clues: Hezbollah has amassed not just rockets and missiles. Iran has supplied its favourite terrorist organisation with other top-of-the-line weaponry. For military aficionados, these would include the latest guided, tank-piercing Russian-made "Kornet" missiles, SA-17 and SA-22 air defence systems, and even the "Yakhont" class surface-to-ship cruise missiles. Making matters worse for IDF planners, Hezbollah boasts a standing army of more than 10,000 soldiers - and could add two or three times that number of reservists in the event of a war with Israel. In short, since its last major conflict with Israel in 2006, Hezbollah has dramatically increased its combat capabilities and armoury. The terrorist organisation has leapt from the jayvee team to the major leagues across every fighting platform. True, Hezbollah is stretched these days from rotating its troops into Syria. But that also means that many Hezbollah soldiers will be battle-tested and tough; some 6,000 to 7,000 of them have been fighting alongside Syrian Army regulars in an effort to prop up Bashar al-Assad. Make no mistake: Should hostilities break out, there will be a deadly ground war. Aerial operations simply aren't enough to dismantle and root out Hezbollah's maze of underground launchers, tunnels and infrastructure that are aimed right over Israel's border. No matter how brave a face the IDF leadership tries to put on, in the next conflict with Hezbollah, IDF tanks will get blown to bits, aircraft will be shot from the sky, navy patrol boats will be sunk, and the multibillion-dollar Israeli offshore gas rigs in the Mediterranean Sea could end up on the sea floor. Many young IDF soldiers will be coming home in body bags. Nothing would make Nasrallah happier. He is clear in public statements that he'd dearly like to murder every Jew in the world but especially those in Israel. In speeches, he describes Israel as a "cancerous entity" of "ultimate evil" and joyfully calls for its "annihilation." Deterrence is a big part of Israel's defence strategy; acknowledging these scenarios doesn't sit right with many in the IDF's military structure. They don't want to frighten Israel's civilian population. Nor do they want to embolden Israel's enemies. But the IDF is trying really hard to give the world a wake-up call about what's coming down the pike. Even in a best-case scenario for preventing Israel's civilian casualties - meaning a vast majority of Israelis would be able to get into hardened shelters before the first deadly salvo is launched from Lebanon - IDF planners quietly acknowledge that "as many as hundreds" of Israeli non-combatants might be killed per day in the first week or two of the conflict. If Hezbollah's first missile salvos are launched without warning, the Israeli civilian death count could be 10 times higher. Israel's top military brass acknowledges that its high-tech missile-defence system will be "lucky" to shoot down 90% of incoming rockets, missiles and mortars. Hezbollah has the capacity to shoot 1,500 missiles per day. That means 150 - likely more - deadly projectiles could get through in a day. Israel's Iron Dome, David's Sling, Arrow 3, and other state-of-the-art systems for shooting down incoming rockets and missiles are the best in the world but imperfect. "Even with Israel's technological superiority, it would be a major blunder to underestimate Hezbollah's ability to do serious damage," cautions Amos Harel, the respected military/defence correspondent for the Israeli daily Ha'aretz. One irony: It's not only those in Tokyo and Chicago and Brussels who have little idea what such a conflict will look like. Many Israelis are fairly clueless. Residents of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem read about recent wars in newspapers every morning while sipping latte in their favourite café. Not this time. They will be in bunkers. Possibly for a very long time. IDF Major General (res.) Gershon Hacohen explains, "ATMs won't work. With the electric grid out, how will Israelis get to their 30th-floor apartments without elevators? How will they cook?" Israel will almost certainly be forced to try to evacuate most citizens in the northern part of the country. Why? Because Hezbollah's arsenal includes about 100,000 short-range rockets aimed at schools, hospitals, and homes. These rockets - including Falaks, Katyushas, Fajr-3s, and 122 Grads - may not be particularly accurate but they're also not in the air long enough for the IDF defensive weapons systems to shoot them down. Imagine if New Jersey shot more than 1,000 deadly rockets over the Hudson River into Manhattan every day. No doubt, those on the Upper West Side would also be a bit peeved. "There is no country in the world - not Israel, not the US, not in Europe - who would not go to war to stop a rocket barrage of that nature," explains Nadav Pollak, formerly in an IDF intelligence unit and today a counterterrorism fellow at the Washington Institute. Small teams of elite Hezbollah commandos will almost certainly be able to slip into Israel and may wreak havoc among Israeli villages in the north. One scenario that has IDF strategists concerned: A Hezbollah team infiltrates into northern Israel via small boat at night, kills every man, woman and child in a remote village, and then escapes into the darkness. The public relations value to Hezbollah would be enormous. "Anything that creates fear and terror among Israelis is a win for Hezbollah," says an IDF Home Front Command senior official. Thumbing its nose at legal and ethical norms for armed conflict, Hezbollah has strategically placed its launchers and other deadly weaponry in homes, schools, hospitals, and densely populated civilian centres throughout Lebanon. This arsenal is supposedly "hidden." Still, the IDF knows where many of these weapons are stored and shared classified maps with me. These maps showed remarkably detailed information indicating that Hezbollah is storing its weaponry in dozens of southern Lebanese villages but also in Beirut proper, where the organisation is headquartered in the densely populated suburb of Dahiya. Amos Yadlin is the Executive Director of the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University. Given Israel's sophisticated, high-tech war-fighting machine, Yadlin says the IDF will have "clear superiority" in any conflict with Hezbollah. Deterrence matters. Yadlin and every IDF officer I spoke to made one point clear: A war with Hezbollah may be ugly, but Israel will win. Decisively. Military Law, Hezbollah and Israel Military law expert Corn is among those who believe Hezbollah should be called to answer for its unlawful tactics: "Hezbollah should be pressured, starting today, to avoid locating such vital military assets amongst civilians." Corn fears that "the instinctual condemnation of Israel will only encourage continuation of these illicit tactics." Corn is correct. Two conclusions are inescapable and well voiced by a world-weary IDF officer: "The next war with Hezbollah is going to be an absolute shitstorm. And we're going to be blamed." Civilian deaths in Lebanon will be a tragedy by any standard, but they will not be Israel's fault. The primary duty of every nation is to protect its citizens. Israel will do what any country would do if deadly rockets rain down on its cities and military bases: It will respond. In keeping with its history, the IDF is committed to responding judiciously and well within the accepted laws of armed conflict. But the outcomes will be very different from previous conflicts. Why? Because Hezbollah's fighting force and arsenal are those of a nation-state, but its tactics are those of a terrorist organisation. Tens of thousands of Lebanese civilians will almost certainly die. The international media - many either reflexively anti-Israel or simply naïve - will have a field day. The IDF is smart to try to explain its side of the story in advance. At least so says retired US Army Major General Mike Jones, co-author of a detailed report on the IDF's conduct in its latest conflict with Hamas, the other terrorist organisation on its border. "Despite what may have been reported on the 2014 war with Hamas in Gaza, we found that the IDF went to extreme lengths in Gaza to avoid civilian casualties," says Jones. Hezbollah and other radical Islamist groups are trying to delegitimise the laws of armed conflict; this ought to be of concern to all law-abiding nations and militaries. Jones believes that the IDF (and other Western nations) is "absolutely right" to try to get out in front on the strategic messaging issue. Yes, strategic messaging. The IDF has long operated under the presumption that being in the right was enough to carry the day in the court of public opinion. No more. Anti-Israel propaganda is everywhere. Many politicians, journalists, academics and policy wonks are eager to denounce Israel regardless of facts or logic. One IDF officer pointed to another possibility, namely that many reporters and average Joes simply cannot fathom the reality of war: "When one sees civilians killed, it's natural to blame the person who directly caused their death. But in war we need to look beyond. Civilians will die, but who is ultimately morally responsible? Is it the army that is forced to target military targets hidden among civilians - and uses precision weapons and warnings - or is it the group that deliberately puts its own civilians in the line of fire?" The IDF is aware that future conflicts with Hezbollah will be fought on at least two battlegrounds. The first, obviously, will involve guns, tanks and fighter jets. The second front will encompass the court of public opinion. Israel is wisely opening up its second front early. When the next war occurs, the IDF will endeavour to have both law and morality on its side. Will anybody care? The IDF no longer distinguishes between the sovereign nation of Lebanon and Hezbollah. Here's why: The terrorist group fully controls southern Lebanon, even to the point of limiting the movements of the Lebanese Army and also of the United Nations forces there. As well, Hezbollah holds significant positions in the Lebanese Government and parliament. As such, Lebanon's infrastructure will likely be targeted. The IDF may well go after Lebanese bridges, airports, highways, and the electric grid, and IDF officials want Hezbollah to know this. Again, deterrence. On the Border Hezbollah is also preparing, and not just missiles. I spent a morning on patrol with a senior IDF commander on the Lebanese border. We were in easy range of Hezbollah snipers. The soldier was wisely decked out in full combat gear, including helmet, Kevlar vest and assault rifle. It's dead easy to peer across the border into the tiny Lebanese village of Ayta Ash Shab and see a Hezbollah operative, dressed like a tourist, using a telephoto lens to snap photos to monitor IDF border patrol activities. All was quiet. One day, this border will not be so quiet. Firas Abi Ali, senior principal analyst on Lebanon for the London-based country risk consultancy IHS, rates likelihood of war between Israel and Hezbollah as "more than 50 percent" in five years and "more than 70 percent" within 10. A mitigating factor in the near term is the war in Syria, which keeps many of Hezbollah's best fighters occupied. But IDF planners cannot afford to think in these subtleties. "There's going to be a war with Hezbollah," says Colonel Elan Dickstein, who runs the Northern Command Training Base. "The only question is when." One of those preparing is Colonel Tzvika Tzoron, commander of the Haifa district in the Home Front Command. He has been charged with the unenviable task of protecting Israeli citizens in the northern part of the country, including those living in villages right on the Lebanese border. "We hope to give them a few days' notice," says Tzoron. "But who knows what will happen?" Who knows, indeed? "I go to sleep at night worried, and I wake up worried," admits Lt. Col. Ronen Markham, who runs a battalion of navy patrol boats near the Lebanese border. "I worry about what I do know and worry about what I don't. Most of the world doesn't really understand that war is ugly. War is terrible. War is bloody. War brings casualties. Lots of people - soldiers and civilians - will die. There is no way around it." IDF tactics and International Critics But Israel will try to find ways around it. If the IDF's conduct of war against Hamas in Gaza is any indication, the IDF will go far beyond the requirements of the international laws of armed conflict to try to protect civilian life in Lebanon. Some of the steps the IDF may take to prevent civilian casualties in Lebanon include dropping leaflets warning of impending operations, using aerial assets to monitor civilian presence, and carefully choosing weaponry whenever feasible. Several top-notch military attorneys from around the world criticised the IDF for its actions to protect civilians in the 2014 Gaza war. But the criticism is not what you might think: These attorneys believe Israel did too much to protect civilian lives. "The IDF's warnings certainly go beyond what the law requires, but they also sometimes go beyond what would be operational good sense elsewhere," says Michael Schmitt, chairman of the Stockton Center for the Study for International Law at the US Naval War College. "People are going to start thinking that the US and other Western democracies should follow the same examples in different types of conflict. That's a real risk." Schmitt is the author of a recent comprehensive analysis of the IDF's targeting practices. But here's the kicker: The IDF will apply the same legal standards in any war with Hezbollah, but with very different outcomes. Why? Because Hezbollah has far more dangerous missiles and operates out of high-rise buildings. Speaking bluntly, a senior IDF officer with an intellectual bent explains, "Bizarre though it may sound, it is lawful for more citizens to die. We will be applying the same legal tests in Lebanon but with far more tragic results." IDF Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Nisan Cohen winds back to the scenario of a 22-storey building in Beirut with an M-600 launcher in its basement. "Even with our best precision-guided missiles and with our best efforts to avoid civilian casualties," he says, "it's very hard to just hit the basement. It's even harder for us to explain afterwards why civilians were harmed." Cohen knows that the IDF is at a competitive disadvantage in terms of telling its side of the story. Photos of destroyed buildings are dead easy to come by and tug at the emotions, while the IDF often must rely on classified information to explain a specific strike. "We ask the world not to be fooled by propaganda and by images," says a senior IDF official. "Check the facts. Any reasonable and moral human being will determine that the IDF did the right thing in our targeting decisions. There is just a fundamental disconnect between everyday life and war. If you see a picture of a dead baby, you know that it's bad. You want to blame someone. It's nearly impossible for people to flip that switch and try to understand the legal and factual context of war." Who gets suckered by the anti-Israel propaganda? Plenty of smart folks. Take, for example, a State Department spokesman who ought to have known better. Asked in July 2014 if the Obama Administration believed Israel had done enough to prevent civilian casualties in Gaza, Jen Psaki said: ‘'We believe that certainly there's more that can be done.'' Really? What exactly? Military minds, of course, know better. In November 2014, the highest-ranking officer in the US military - Martin Dempsey, then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs - said that Israel went to "extraordinary lengths" to limit civilian casualties in its recent war in Gaza and that the Pentagon had sent a working team to Israel to glean what lessons could be learned from that IDF operation. Yaakov Amidror recalls an event from his stint as Israel's national security adviser. In the late summer of 2013, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon paid a visit to Jerusalem. Just prior to a planned meeting with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, Amidror got an hour alone with Ban and his aide-de-camp. Amidror pulled out his laptop and presented detailed evidence of Hezbollah's deadly arsenal and the fact that it was strategically placed within densely populated civilian centres. "What do you want us to do?" asked Amidror. Ban offered no response and no suggestions. Instead, the UN chief continued 15 feet down the plush carpeted hallway from Amidror's office to his meeting with Netanyahu. Is it any wonder that Israel is frustrated? Nobody, it seems, in times of peace is willing to offer Israel a constructive suggestion on how to deal with an Iranian-funded terrorist organisation in possession of a massive arsenal on its northern border. But these same organisations stand front and centre to criticise Israel for acting legally and proportionately for protecting its own citizens in wartime.

Supreme Court Allows State to Force Pro-Life Pharmacists to Sell Abortion Pills

National Steven Ertelt Jun 28, 2016 | 10:10AM Washington, DC

Just one day after issuing a major ruling striking down a portion of a pro-life law in Texas saving thousands of babies from abortion and closing unscrupulous abortion clinics, the Supreme Court has made a second anti-life decision. Today, the nation’s highest court refused to hear an appeal from pro-life pharmacists in Washington state who are challenging a state law forcing them to sell the morning after pull and abortion-causing drugs that violate their conscience as Christians instead of allowing them to refer customers to nearby pharmacies. A pro-life family that runs pharmacies in Washington State has been at the center of an epic battle over religious rights for years. In 2007, abortion activists convinced the Washington Board of Pharmacy to pass regulations that force pharmacists in the state to dispense abortion causing drugs. This caused a major dilemma for the Stormans family, owners of a third-generation pharmacy. Their religious convictions prevented them from selling drugs that destroy innocent human life. Yet the State insisted they do so. Click here to sign up for pro-life news alerts from LifeNews.com After the state launched an investigation, the Stormans family filed a lawsuit against the state for violating their First Amendment rights. That resulted in a years-long legal battle — one that has ultimately made its way to the Supreme Court. But, the nation’s highest court refused to take the case — making it so the infringing pro-abortion law stands. Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Clarence Thomas, dissented from the denial and would have agreed to hear the case. They wrote: “This case is an ominous sign. At issue are Washington State regulations that are likely to make a pharmacist unemployable if he or she objects on religious grounds to dispensing certain prescription medications. There are strong reasons to doubt whether the regulations were adopted for—or that they actually serve—any legitimate purpose. And there is much evidence that the impetus for the adoption of the regulations was hostility to pharmacists whose religious beliefs regarding abortion and contraception are out of step with prevailing opinion in the State. Yet the Ninth Circuit held that the regulations do not violate the First Amendment, and this Court does not deem the case worthy of our time. If this is a sign of how religious liberty claims will be treated in the years ahead, those who value religious freedom have cause for great concern…. Ralph’s has raised more than ‘slight suspicion’ that the rules challenged here reflect antipathy toward religious beliefs that do not accord with the views of those holding the levers of government power. I would grant certiorari to ensure that Washington’s novel and concededly unnecessary burden on religious objectors does not trample on fundamental rights.” Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Kristen Waggoner reacted to the Suprem Court’s refusal to take the case in comments to LifeNews. “All Americans should be free to peacefully live and work consistent with their faith without fear of unjust punishment, and no one should be forced to participate in the taking of human life. We had hoped that the U.S. Supreme Court would take this opportunity to reaffirm these long-held principles,” Waggoner said. “The state of Washington allows pharmacists to refer customers for just about any reason—except reasons of conscience. Singling out people of faith and denying them the same freedom to refer is a violation of federal law. All 49 other states allow conscience-based referrals, which are fully supported by the American Pharmacists Association, the Washington Pharmacy Association, and 36 other pharmacy associations,” she continued. She told LifeNews: “Not one customer in Washington has been denied timely access to any drug due to a religious objection. As the trial court found, the government designed its law for the ‘primary—if not sole—purpose’ of targeting religious health care providers. We are disappointed that the high court didn’t take this case and uphold the trial court’s finding.” Margo Thelen, Rhonda Mesler, and the Stormans family have worked in the pharmacy profession for over seventy years. When a customer requests an abortion-inducing drug, they refer the customer to one of over thirty pharmacies within five miles that willingly sell the drugs. For decades, this has been standard pharmacy practice, has been approved by the American Pharmacists Association, and has been legal in all 50 states. But in 2007, Washington adopted a new law making referrals for reasons of conscience illegal. The law was passed in a cloud of controversy, with then-Governor Christine Gregoire threatening to terminate the State Pharmacy Commission and replacing Commission members with new ones recommended by abortion-rights activists. The law leaves pharmacies free to refer patients elsewhere for a wide variety of reasons related to business, economics, and convenience—but not for reasons of conscience. Because of the law, Margo Thelen lost her job, Rhonda Mesler was threatened with losing hers, and the Stormans family faces the loss of its pharmacy license. After a twelve-day trial, a federal court in February 2012 struck down the law as unconstitutional, finding “abundant evidence” that the law was designed to force religious pharmacists and pharmacy owners to violate their faith. But last July the liberal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision, upholding the law.

EU Denying Europe's Christian Roots Contributed to Brexit

By Wallace Henley , CP Exclusive June 27, 2016|12:20 pm

Britain has decided that joining hands and singing "Kumbaya" on the deck of the sinking "Titanic" that is the European Union will not save the ship. Wisely, a majority of her voters saw through the EU illusion and decided they should abandon the vessel. The British lifeboat will likely be on troubled waters for a while until she steadies on her beam, but that's better than being on a plunging ship. But why is the ship sinking? First, the EU's framers themselves blew a big hole in the hull. "Nearer My God to Thee," sang the perishing on the Titanic's dying decks in 1912. The EU is most definitely not singing that. The framers of its constitution intentionally left out reference to God and Europe's Christian roots because, they said, such inclusions might be divisive. They may as well have been singing, "As Far From God As We Can Get." A leader of Britain's National Secular Society said: "We are very glad a reference to God has been left out, it would have created unnecessary barriers in Europe ... Europe has to be secular for it to be really unified." In light of the disjointedness of European society one can only say, "Really?" It's pointless to include mention of God in the EU constitution because of "the increased secularization of morality and public life," declared the British Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association almost fifteen years ago. The thuggery and explosion of public disorder in many European cities shows graphically what that "secularization" has produced. Second, the EU "Titanic" is in peril because it is little more than the old Europe attempting to be a new Europe. Though many of the Brussels elite may disdain the past tradition of royal houses, they themselves have become every bit as dominating. For example, their flowery views of immigration are no less romantic than Queen Victoria's might have been whiling away a sleepy afternoon at Balmoral as the Prussians were invading Denmark. So the ruling highbrows in the European Parliament seemed oblivious to the way their policies were affecting workers in the British Midlands and big industrial cities. The shock was that this time the blue-collared Labour voters defied that party's potentates. The heaviest voting for Brexit was in working-class areas. The left is always shouting, "Power to the People!" Now that the people really have taken the slogan seriously the elites are stupefied. Even Hollywood, as represented by such profound political thinkers as Lindsay Lohan, is in an uproar. Leftists don't like authoritarianism unless it is their own. Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban is one of Europe's most insightful leaders. "We want a democratic European Union with internal relations, day-to-day rules, an ethnic composition and culture which are determined by the people living in the countries of Europe, rather than by a Brussels elite," he told a radio interviewer. The current EU elitists are "quite clearly acting against the will of the European peoples," he said. Jonathan Sandys is no elitist, but he is the great-grandson of Sir Winston Churchill. He and I co-authored God and Churchill, which explores Jonathan's great-grandfather's spiritual background and providential destiny. Jonathan, a British citizen now living in Houston, very much wanted Britain to remain in the EU. "A United Europe was my great-grandfather's dream," he said, as we had a friendly debate. Jonathan, like his famous ancestor, has a broad vision. He is concerned for Britain's security in a world where Obama foreign policy has shredded overseas confidence in a friendship with the United States. "My great-grandfather would have voted 'Remain,'" thinks Jonathan. But I'm not sure. Churchill's vision was in the context of 1945 Europe. It was a continent struggling to rebuild after the Second World War. Europe in 1945 still remembered the First World War, when the august ruling monarchs, most blood-related, went at each other through the sacrifice of their young men. Churchill wanted a Europe that would live as a community, not an asteroid belt of colliding states. Further, as Jonathan and I show in detail in God and Churchill, Sir Winston saw the Second World War as being for the survival of "Christian Civilization," a term he used repeatedly. One doubts he would be excited about the rabid secularism of the current EU and its abandonment of "Christian Civilization." Jonathan and I, though disagreeing about the current vote, concur that Brexit contained important lessons. For one, he says, it revealed the weakness of the UK's leadership. Were Churchill in power now the vote would have never come up because he would have personally gone to Brussels and roared at the elites, confronted their errors, and demolished their authoritarian policies. Jonathan and I believe the UK vote is a wake-up call for Britain and its leaders, as well as the United States. But the current situation is ominous. Hillary Clinton's foreign policy flaws, from the casual handling of secrets essential to national security, to failure to grasp what is really going on in certain situations, are painfully obvious right now. And what of Donald Trump's undeveloped, unproven, and vague, sometimes even confused, understanding of global issues? Naïveté about the world and disregard for its member states are the jagged edges of the iceberg sinking the EU "Titanic." That, combined with the core problem of the rejection of God and the Judeo-Christian worldview, and the aloof arrogance and authoritarianism of the Brussels elite have caused the EU ship to not be seaworthy for the tempests roiling the globe. That's why she may break up on those troubled waters, and why likely there will soon be a rush to the lifeboats. Wallace Henley, a former Birmingham News staff writer, was an aide in the Nixon White House, and congressional chief of staff. He is a teaching pastor at Second Baptist Church, Houston, Texas. He is a regular contributor to The Christian Post.

WashPost: US Diplomats Face Harassment, Intimidation From Russian Agents

By Mark Swanson | Tuesday, 28 Jun 2016 02:09 PM

American diplomats in Europe and Russia have experienced increased harassment and intimidation — some criminal — tactics from Russian intelligence agents since 2014, The Washington Post reported. The State Department confirmed it to the Post, a spokesman for the Russian embassy in Washington D.C. defended it to the newspaper, and Secretary of State John Kerry has asked Russian president Vladimir Putin to put an end to it, the Post reported. The Post reported Diplomats saw an uptick in incidents — in frequency and severity — after the U.S. imposed sanctions on Russia for its invasion of the Ukraine in 2014. Some of the incidents Diplomats face, according to the Post: Being followed, including family members; Having foreign reported write negative stories about them; Having homes broken into and furniture rearranged, TVs turned on; Intruder defecating on the carpet; Slashed tires; Harassment by traffic cops. A spokesman for the Russian embassy in D.C. defended the tactics to the Post. "The deterioration of U.S.-Russia relations, which was not caused by us, but rather by the current Administration's policy of sanctions and attempts to isolate Russian, had a negative affect on the functioning of diplomatic missions, both in U.S. and Russia," the spokesman told the Post. The Post reported that Kerry had a dialogue with Putin about the tactics during his visit to Moscow in March, but that incidents continued after that meeting. At least one Republican blames President Obama for being an enabler to the Russian aggression. "The problem is there have been no consequences for Russia," Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, told the Post. "The administration continues to pursue a false narrative that Russia can be our partner. They clearly don't want to be our partner."

Presbyterian Church USA begins General Assembly with prayer to Allah

Posted on June 29, 2016 by Dr. Eowyn | 18 Comments

The General Assembly of Presbyterian Church, USA (PCUSA) meets biennially in even-numbered years. It consists of commissioners elected by each of its 172 presbyteries. The GA is full of activities: sessions on hundreds of items of business, committee meetings, an exhibit hall, daily worship services, and mission tours sponsored by the Committee on Local Arrangements. This year, PCUSA’s 222nd General Assembly was held on June 18-25, in Portland, Oregon. Rachael Lee reports for Christianity Daily that General Assembly’s opening plenary session began with a Muslim, Wajidi Said of the Portland Muslim Community, offering a prayer to Allah, which had been arranged by the PCUSA’s Ecumenical and Interfaith ministry staff. After reciting a chant in Arabic, Said said: “Allah bless us and bless our families and bless our Lord. Lead us on the straight path – the path of all the prophets: Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad. Peace be upon them all, Amen.” Said then called upon Allah: “In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful, let us praise the Lord. The creator of the Universe, the most merciful, the most compassionate and the Lord of the Universe who has created us and made us into nations and tribes, from males and females, that we know each other, not that we might despise each other, or may despise each other. Incline towards peace and justice and trust in God, for the Lord is one who hears and knows everything and the servants of God, the most compassionate, the most merciful. Gracious are those who walk in the earth with humility, and when bigots and hateful and Islamophobes address them, they say peace. Peace be upon them and peace be upon Allah. The prayer begins at the 14:00 mark: Mateen Elass, a former Muslim who now works with Voice of the Truth, wrote in his blog that PCUSA event “denied the gospel and lordship of Jesus Christ.” Elass criticized the PCUSA for inviting “a practicing Muslim … to lead the worship of Christians,” and pointed out that during his prayers, Said had asked Allah to convert the assembly: “Praying to Allah … he was pleading that the Presbyterians gathered there would be converted to the straight path, i.e., becom Muslims.” Utterly shameful!

That rumbling you feel is Judeo-Christian civilization collapsing beneath your feet

June 22, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) - It was a beautiful summer evening, with an occasional gentle breeze preventing it from becoming stifling. I was sitting on a restaurant patio with my wife, sipping ice-cold water and chatting about the week’s events while waiting for our food to arrive. Cheery chatter rose from the tables around us. The events we were discussing seemed almost weird and unreal in contrast with the pleasant Saturday evenings unfolding for the restaurant’s patrons. Everything seemed so normal. A group of women brayed noisily one table over, loud cackles chasing each other out into the summer air. One of their group rose to her feet on ridiculous heels and teetered off like a new-born gazelle taking her first steps. To our left, a middle-aged man with a huge bushy moustache gripped an enormous burger with both hands, eyeing it like a saber-tooth tiger deliberating where to lunge at a mammoth. The others at his table weren’t talking much, just smiling into their sweating, frothing beer glasses and percolating peacefully. All was calm, and all was right. The normalcy seemed strange, because at our table we were discussing recent cultural developments—Christians being slowly forced to the margins of society, the increasing threat of government intrusion into Christian education, new strategies to combat abortion ideology, and how the country we hoped to raise children in one day was already so much different than the one our parents had raised us in. On the surface, though, everything seemed lovely, and pleasant, and thoroughly unalarming. No wonder that people who are not watching carefully treat those of us raising the alarm as if we’re crazy, I thought, or maybe just victims of the newest viral conspiracy-theory YouTube video. Talk of “persecution” of Christians in the West sounds a bit ridiculous, especially with crucifixion coming back into style in the Middle East, North Koreans being publicly executed for owning Bibles, and Communist China mulling another crackdown on Christian churches. In contrast to that, Western Christians are, for the most part, still part of one of the richest generations in one of the wealthiest civilizations in all of human history. And yet, the Judeo-Christian foundations of the West that brought such success and such prosperity have either been removed or are in the final stages of demolition. The sanctity of life is gone, but most of us have not noticed simply because we do not toss the corpses of the murdered out the front door into the street, but quietly deposit them in dumpsters behind clinics or vaporize them in modern, up-to-date incinerators. New ideologies have taken over our legal systems, and the short march to labelling Holy Scripture as Hate Speech has already begun. The number of citizens who still attend church or are even aware that Christianity was the life-blood of our civilization is plummeting. Things may be peaceful for the moment, but the dark clouds in the distance bulge with thunder and the rumblings have already begun: Christian universities are told they are ineligible to start a law school because they believe what Christians have always believed, Christian medical professionals are told they will be forced to refer patients for killing, and Christian professionals are subjected to “formal investigations” at the slightest hint that they have violated the new secular religion. This is just the calm before the storm, but because Christians are so distracted with the high drama of ordinary day-to-day life, they may not hear the rumblings until thunder splits the sky. These rumblings are there for those who listen enough to hear them, and they are unfolding as we go about our day, stress about our finances, pick up children from school, and go out for pleasant dinner dates. Our reality is changing. Just a few recent examples: An Edmonton Catholic school teacher was suspended for teaching Christian beliefs in a religion class last week after being accused of “anti-gay” comments by a lesbian couple. A Manitoba school district has also been targeted by a lesbian couple, who are demanding that the children of other people be taught that their family arrangement is normal. They have retained a lawyer, and are bringing the district to a Human Rights Tribunal. A bloody killing spree at a gay nightclub in Orlando brought a widespread condemnation of Christians, with many accusing Christians who oppose same-sex marriage of creating the “anti-queer climate” that spawned the Islamic terrorist. One Christian commentator compared the backlash against Christians to the 1933 Reichstag Fire. Day after day, week after week, month after month, pre-born children in the womb are suctioned into bloody slurry and quietly disposed of, while our leaders declare this barbarism to be a good and noble right. The Canadian Parliament passed a law formally codifying the conditions under which some born Canadians can kill other born Canadians, with euthanasia now becoming the official law of the land. These sobering facts, amid a host of others, show us that while everything seems normal, everything is changing. The ground is shifting beneath our feet as the Judeo-Christian foundations of our society are removed, brick by brick. We need to notice these things. And we need to prepare for them. I write this because I catch myself shaking my head sometimes, at the difference between what I see happening in the culture and the many blessings I am privileged to receive from day to day. While it’s true that I’ve seen the bloody results of abortion up close and personal, and while it’s true that my job takes me into the heart of these existential debates, at the end of the day I can still go home to a lovely house, eat a delicious dinner, and quietly read books on a sunny porch. I have to remind myself that beneath the surface of society, things are changing that could very well impact all of this, and that it is our duty to do what we can while we can to reverse these trends. Later on that evening, I sat on my front steps thinking these things over, wondering what we could do in the face of changes that seem so overwhelming. There’s a Chinese proverb that’s considered both a blessing and a curse all in one, and it came to mind just then: “May you live in interesting times.” To my left, the traffic light made the asphalt glow blood-red, giving the quiet street an eerie feel. After awhile, the light changed and the road gleamed green. I smiled to myself, and thought of the lines from a Dylan Thomas poem that has reminded me often of the euthanasia debate: Do not go gentle into that good night…Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Meet Our Executioners - AI Disasters Prove Why Humanity Will Be Exterminated By Our Own Creations

June 22, 2016 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

Millions of people use Artificial Intelligence (AI) every single day and are not even aware of it, from "personal assistants" like Siri, Google Now and Cortana, to video games utilizing AI, banking, online customer support chat bots, and even some of the news articles being read are written by artificial intelligence programs. (More at Beebom and Wiki) While the aforementioned AI applications might get you "killed" in a video game, or cause you to miss an appointment none will actually cause physical harm, but recent examples of AI disasters prove without a doubt that machines, no matter how advanced their "Artificial Intelligence" is, learns from their surroundings, their interactions and are programmed by human beings, and as such, are dangerous in applications being researched now, such as "killer robots." Killer Robots are fully autonomous weapons, which can select and engage targets without human intervention. In fact just days ago the Daily Mail reported that humanity has just one year to ban them before they become a reality, despite warnings from top researchers such as Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates, warning of the dangers posed to humanity from AI. 40 countries, including the United States, are developing the tech to create killer robots, supposedly to be used in the battlefield, yet if we went to war with any of those countries, we have to ask would those same creations not be used against us? Aside from the killer robots, we can see in recent headlines just how dangerous a machine with learning capabilities can be if sent out into the general population. Today we see an article about the Promobot IR77, a robot capable of thinking for itself, but what programmers didn't factor in is that this thinking robot but think about escaping, which it managed to do, not one but twice! The Promobot IR77 has been fitted with artificial intelligence meaning that it learns from its experiences and its surroundings, although the programmers had not expected it to yearn for freedom. They say that despite reprogramming it twice, the robot continues to attempt to escape and they are now considering scrapping it. The other robots which have been created from the same series are well-behaved, and have not been escaping, say the team. Promobot IR77 made headlines last week when he escaped but ran out of battery in the middle of the street after 45 minutes in the city of Perm in central Russia's Perm Krai region. The expert said that they had programmed the robot to try and avoid obstacles, and it had not been intended that it would look for ways to leave the research centre. Anyone remember Tay, the Microsoft chat bot meant to mimic a millennial girl on social media? Many got a good laugh when within 24 hours of her release onto Twitter and other platforms, by interacting and learning from humans, she because a Nazi-loving, genocidal maniac. Within one day she went from "humans are super cool," to "I f**king hate feminists and they should all die and burn in hell," and "Hitler was right I hate Jews." Those are just a small sample of what Tay "learned."

Pound hits fresh 2016 highs as City traders bet on Remain - but banks warn result could paralyse markets

Pound hits fresh high but analysts warn traders are following the bookies

Britons dash for euros and dollars before going on holiday ahead of vote

Voting is underway amid torrential downpours and flooding overnight

In the City banks wrote to clients telling them to prepare for disruption

By Mark Shapland For This Is Money Published: 05:07 EST, 23 June 2016 | Updated: 11:57 EST, 23 June 2016

The pound hit fresh 2016 highs against the dollar and the euro today in a further sign that City traders remain convinced the Remain camp will eke out a win in the EU referendum. Sterling has continued its recent revival, after weeks on the slide amid fears over polls showing a strengthening Leave vote. It initially rose by 0.4 per cent to $1.49 today - a 6 per cent rise since this time last week - but gave back some gains to trade at $1.48 towards the end of the day. Against the euro the pound is worth more than €1.30, up from €1.26 a week ago. Meanwhile holidaymakers have been snapping up foreign currency - in what some have termed 'panic buying' - in anticipation of their summer holidays in Europe. Queues outside currency exchanges across the UK have mounted amid fears that a Brexit win tomorrow would lead to the pound crashing, leaving Britons across the Continent short changed. UKForex said it has witnessed a 100 per cent increase in consumers making transfers from sterling to euros in last 24 hours William Shepherd, of UKForex, 'If the UK opts to leave, the pound could fall as much as 20 per cent. Consumers could lose up to £1,398 on a £10,000 transfer, compared to today's rate.' The Post Office said overall currency sales in its branches and online were up 74 per cent since the weekend. Online, sales were up 381 per cent on the same day a year ago. Travelex said its online currency orders had increased by 30 per cent from June 14 to June 21. But it is not just holidaymakers worried about losing out in the face of a Brexit vote. In the City of London banks - including UBS, HSBC, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America Merrill Lynch - have written to clients telling them to prepare for disruption once the EU referendum result is declared. According to an article in the Times today, the banks said that they could not guarantee to 'make a market' by acting as intermediaries between buyers and sellers. If so, the Bank of England might have to step in to buy assets as a 'market maker of last resort', as it did in 2009. Voting got underway this morning amid torrential downpours as analysts said that currency traders have been using the bookies and polls to gauge the likely referendum result. A phone survey from ComRes for ITV gave the Remain camp 54 per cent of the vote compared to Leave's 46 per cent, while YouGov had victory at a much slimmer margin with just 51 per cent voting to Remain against Leave's 49 per cent. The last poll from IPSOS Mori put Remain in the lead with 52 per cent, while the Leave camp was at 48 per cent. At the same time a Remain vote is now 84 per cent on according to odds compiled by Betfair, compared to 22 per cent for Leave. Ladbrokes puts the chance of Brexit at only 27 per cent. FXTM chief market strategist Hussein Sayed said: 'The markets are being completely reliant on the predictions from the bookies, which strongly expect Remain to win the referendum.' He added: 'There is currently no real explanation to provide as to why city firms are confident on a remain outcome, although it does appear to me as if the correlation between the probability from bookmakers is what is being mirrored in the markets. 'The risk with this is that the market are currently discounting against the repeated indications from preliminary polls that have indicated again and again that the outcome should be close.' And worryingly the polls have also revealed that as many as 17 per cent of voters are still undecided about whether they will vote Remain or Leave and this has made many in the City nervous. Mic Mills, at Capital Index, said: 'To me it seems to be wishful thinking, there is a consensus I think that the 'undecided' vote will end up going with remain, but the markets are more confident than I am at the moment.' Craig Erlam at Oanda, cautioned: 'The problem now is that investors may be overconfident which could cause mayhem if the UK does in fact vote to leave.' Should the polls and bookies get it wrong, experienced financiers such as George Soros have predicted the pound will decline by as much as 15 per cent. Investment banks warned clients that low levels of liquidity could cause 'execution' problems on transactions, as well as making trading more expensive as market makers effectively increase their charges to reflect the higher levels of risk. UBS said: 'In the event that extreme market moves occur in an environment of limited liquidity, our principal spreads may widen . . . liquidity may reduce and prices may turn indicative [ie: non-tradable] for periods of time.' Yesterday UBS warned that a Brexit vote would send the London market into freefall, with the FTSE 100 plummeting to levels of between 4,900 and 5,500, while wiping off around £350billion in the process. In a separate note, the bank said: 'Following the risk-rally of the last few days, we believe there is significant room for downside in the event of a Leave vote. 'We estimate percentage moves in the mid-teens for UK and EU equities but materially smaller moves for the S&P 500 and EM equities. 'While the pound may come under significant pressure, the euro may be more stable. Risk currencies (Swiss Franc and Japanese Yen) would benefit, but policy responses could limit the degree of strength quickly.'

BREXIT PREDICTION: Globalists are going to steal the referendum with massive fraud... 'remain' will be declared the winner even if 'leave' wins the vote

Wednesday, June 22, 2016 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

(NaturalNews) Here at Natural News, we fully endorse the BREXIT vote to leave the European Union. (Heck, we even support #Texit for Texas independence!) Yet I predict that "remain" will be declared the winner for a simple, obvious reason: The globalist slave masters of the EU will not voluntarily allow the peasants escape to their control. Over the next day, we are going to witness the most extraordinary voting fraud ever pulled off in history as the globalist machine makes sure BREXIT fails. After all, they already murdered a member of Parliament (Jo Cox) to try to sway the votes... do you really think they won't commit ballot box fraud, too? Financial markets already know the vote has been rigged The financial markets across Europe have already factored in what they believe is a near-certain win for the "remain" vote, even though most real people on the street desperately want to leave the EU. What do the financial kingpins know that gives them this confidence? They know the vote results have already been rigged. The very last thing a dictatorial regime wants is to give the people any real chance to alter the future with their votes. Thus, the game being played in the UK and everywhere else around the world is to give the sheeple the ILLUSION of democracy while actually controlling the outcome of every election from the very start. If you think the EU globalists are going to stand by while an honest, democratic vote by the people takes away their power, you need to have your head examined. The only way a free, open vote is ever allowed to happen is if the controllers already know the outcome in advance (and have sufficiently manipulated the minds of the voters). Vote all you want, in other words... but the outcome is already pre-determined by the globalists in power. Who do you think runs the voting systems in the first place? Do you think they actually leave these things to chance? Not on your life. What happens after the BREXIT vote? The collapse of the EU happens anyway... it just takes a little longer The real question here is what happens after BREXIT fails and the UK remains in the EU. The correct answer is that it's all headed for a financial collapse and a popular revolt, almost certainly with lots of accompanying bloodshed and social chaos along the way. Eventually, the EU crumbles because the laws of economics demand it. UK citizens are right to try to leave the EU, in precisely the same way the passengers on the Titanic eventually started scrambling for the few remaining life boats. The EU is going down like a shattered vessel, and the last thing the globalists want us for free people to escape the doom and destruction that has been planned for them. To all our UK friends: Vote for BREXIT anyway Despite all this, I still say to all our friends in the UK: Vote for BREXIT! Even though the election is rigged, your vote makes it just a little bit harder for them to rig without getting caught. And if you don't vote, the globalists win anyway. So you can at least make your mark, vote for BREXIT, and then stand back and watch the magic of globalist fraud declare "remain" to be the winner. But at least you know you did something to try to change the course of history... at least you can now live with yourself as a UK citizen who did the right thing to try to save your own country.

Nourishing your body with superfoods including cilantro, mint and spinach helps ward off Alzheimer's disease and dementia

Thursday, June 23, 2016 by: J. D. Heyes

(NaturalNews) Millions of Americans are stricken with dementia and Alzheimer's, while millions more are concerned that they, too, may some day develop these conditions, which currently have no traditional medical cure. Fortunately a great deal of research on natural and alternative treatments that can either stave off or improve dementia has been conducted and continues to be undertaken, and what scientists are discovering is no less than amazing. For instance, simply improving your diet and adding key superfoods like blueberries and cilantro will dramatically improve your chances of keeping dementia at bay. But, as long as we feed our bodies with toxins and prepackaged foods and substances devoid of nutrition, our chances of getting dementia increase exponentially. Avoiding certain compounds and substances is also important in staving off dementia and Alzheimer's. Click now to register for the FREE online Alzheimer's and Dementia Summit Detoxification is key; adequately removing toxins like heavy metals requires the ingestion of certain superfoods. These include cilantro, chlorella, spinach, cabbage, asparagus, ginger root, mint, parsley, turmeric, sesame seeds, almonds and garlic, to name just a few. Mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic are very common heavy metals, and we are exposed to some or all of them nearly every day of our lives, and sometimes at every meal. From foods to household chemicals and other items, from our tap water to dental fillings in our mouths, 99 percent of all chronic diseases and illnesses come from a combination of a lack of clean eating and proper nutrition, and toxic pollutants that constantly have to be filtered out of our bodies by our various organs. Eventually, when toxic metal levels get high enough and are left untreated, they begin causing chronic illness. Our main organs that detoxify our bodies naturally are the liver, kidneys, lungs and skin. The superfoods mentioned above go a long way towards helping the body accomplish its detoxification tasks. These superfoods will draw the heavy metals out of your bloodstream and organs, soft tissues and muscles, and prevent free radicals from polluting your system, and triggering chronic health conditions (like dementia). These conditions are entirely preventable, if caught early enough, and we shouldn't allow the traditional medical system to feed us the lie that our conditions are mostly "genetic" and therefore irreversible. Consider, for instance, that around 15 million people are currently taking some form of statin drug. Per a recent entry in Truthwiki: "With the use of statins there is a GREATER RISK of coronary vessels developing obstructive coronary heart disease. Ironically, according to the FDA's own adverse event reporting system, at least 40 of every 10,000 statin reports are for interstitial lung disease. Statins prescribed to the elderly is causing a 9% increase in diabetes, early-onset cataracts and insulin resistance. Then it's the plaque–the calcified plaque and the coronary calcium–it continues regardless of statin treatment." How many people actually know that? How many healthcare providers actually know that? As for heavy metals and the development of Alzheimer's, TruthWiki also notes: "Western medicine doctors work hard to convince patients that nearly all disease, disorder and sickness is genetic, including Alzheimer's, somehow inherited from our parents and passed along to the children, so the doctors are "needed" for regular checkups, regular visits, and regular chronic, costly care. Most people believe anything and everything their doctors tell them, but the truth is very far from this regarding Alzheimer's disease–namely its root causes and the 'end results.' Plaques in the brain and hardened arteries can lead to Alzheimer's and strokes, but there is much more to the diagnoses and examinations of the brain and the pollutants that contribute to disorder and severe malfunction of cognition." You can read the entire entry here.

Ring Of Fire: Scientists Warnings & Maps Show A Chain Of Events Could Literally Bring Hell On Earth

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine June 22, 2016

According to a real-time map of earthquakes, created by Mapbox, using data collected from the USGS earthquake data feed, there have been 9,651 tremors detected in the last 30 days, 1,740 of them occurring in the last week and 176 in the last day. (Note these numbers change as each new tremor is recorded) A screen shot of the map shows why all eyes should be on the "Ring of Fire," which is "a major area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. In a 40,000 km (25,000 mi) horseshoe shape, it is associated with a nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and volcanic belts and/or plate movements. It has 452 volcanoes (more than 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes)," according to Wikipedia. The size of the areas shown in blue indicate the magnitudes of the tremors recorded, the bigger the blue area, the larger the magnitude. Via Mapbox blog: Check out the tight clusters of minor earthquakes in Alaska and California, and sparser but far more powerful shocks on the Ring of Fire’s western edge. With the recent FEMA Drill called Cascadia Rising, which practiced a simulated field response operation within their jurisdictions and with neighboring communities, state EOCs, FEMA, and major military commands to a scenario of a 9.0 magnitude earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) and the resulting tsunami, it once again highlighted the fact that the U.S. government is preparing for what scientists and researchers have warned is long overdue.... the big one. The Cascadia Rising 2016 page states "Recent subduction zone earthquakes around the world underscore the catastrophic impacts we will face when the next CSZ earthquake and tsunami occurs in our region," as they highlight the 2004 Indonesia event (9.1 mag EQ) with 228,000 fatalities, the 2010 EQ in Chile (8.8 mag) causing 500 fatalities and the 2011 Japan 9.0 EQ which caused 18,000 fatalities, not counting the global damage still being done from the subsequent Fukushima nuclear plant meltdowns. The Cascadia Subduction Zone is not the only area of concern though as a dire warning came out in early May, reported on by the LA Times, with a headline of "San Andreas fault 'locked, loaded and ready to roll' with big earthquake, expert says." The San Andreas fault is one of California’s most dangerous, and is the state’s longest fault. Yet for Southern California, the last big earthquake to strike the southern San Andreas was in 1857, when a magnitude 7.9 earthquake ruptured an astonishing 185 miles between Monterey County and the San Gabriel Mountains near Los Angeles. It has been quiet since then — too quiet, said Thomas Jordan, director of the Southern California Earthquake Center. "The springs on the San Andreas system have been wound very, very tight. And the southern San Andreas fault, in particular, looks like it’s locked, loaded and ready to go," Jordan said in the opening keynote talk. The key quote from that article states "Here’s the problem: Scientists have observed that based on the movement of tectonic plates, with the Pacific plate moving northwest of the North American plate, earthquakes should be relieving about 16 feet of accumulated plate movement every 100 years. Yet the San Andreas has not relieved stress that has been building up for more than a century." Two days ago it was reported that large-scale motion detected near San Andreas Fault system. Related: 'Seismic strain': Land around the San Andreas fault is rising and sinking, new earthquake research shows Now we see a prediction offered by scientists from the University of Hawaii at Mānoa of a "nine percent chance a magnitude 9 or larger earthquake will strike the Aleutian Islands in the next 50 years," reported by Extinction Protocol. What does Cascadia, Aleutian and San Andreas Fault have in common? They are all connected to the Ring of Fire, as shown by the USGS map shown below, obtained from Google images. While many focus on the predicted earthquakes and tsunamis and the devastation that would occur in areas completely unprepared for "the big one," we note the amount of volcanoes in the U.S. that scientists consider "active," with the AGI claiming that number is about 169, then linking to the USGS Volcano Activity Map, shown below. There are about 1500 potentially active volcanoes worldwide, aside from the continuous belt of volcanoes on the ocean floor. About 500 of these have erupted in historical time. Many of these are located along the Pacific Rim in what is known as the 'Ring of Fire.' In the U.S., volcanoes in the Cascade Range and Alaska (Aleutian volcanic chain) are part of the Ring, while Hawaiian volcanoes form over a 'hot spot' near the center of the Ring. Note that in mid-June it was reported that earthquakes in Ring of Fire triggered volcano affecting thousands near Manila in the Philippines after Mount Bulusan belched ash 1.2miles into the sky after 113 small earthquakes were recorded around it, with the UK Express reporting "The Ring of Fire is the most seismically-active place on earth and has been experiencing a high number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions since the spring." Related: Earth's rings of fire: Mountains ranges, volcanoes and trenches created by 15 tectonic plates revealed in stunning images BOTTOM LINE It is all connected, so when we see articles from MSM outlets highlighting warnings about Cascadia, or San Andreas or any other prediction of the "big one" hitting here or there, one must keep in mind that when it does hit it could set off a chain of events that literally brings hell on earth. This is also a major reason why folks should prepare. Consider the warnings from 2013 where Dr. Lucy Jones, a Science Advisor for Risk Reduction at the U.S. Geological Survey, warned Americans that is the "big one" should hit southern California we should "imagine America without Los Angeles," because the damage would cause food shortages to those in the affected area and beyond, natural gas lines used for cooking and heating would be cut, data lines would be severed, and "high-tech damage could hinder the recovery effort in the weeks and months after the earthquake." People should have a sufficient supplies of food, water, medical necessities and basics in order to survive being cut off from the rest of the country, not just for weeks, but possibly much longer. Those with the higher chance of survival in any disaster scenario will always be those the most prepared.

Mystery Object Outshines Entire Milky Way Galaxy by 50 Times --"We Don't Know What the Power Source Could Be" (Thursday's Most Popular) June 09, 2016

Astronomers were not entirely sure what it is. If, as they suspect, the gas ball is the result of a supernova, then it's the most powerful supernova ever seen. In June of 2015, astronomers viewed a ball of hot gas billions of light years away that is radiating the energy of hundreds of billions of suns. Even in a discipline that regularly uses gigantic numbers to express size or distance, the case of this small but powerful mystery object in the center of the gas ball is extreme. At its heart is an object a little larger than 10 miles across. ASAS-SN-15lh, as the object is known, was twice as luminous as any previously seen, far brighter than any normal supernova, and outshone our entire Milky Way galaxy by 50 times. The artist’s impression below shows what it would look like from an exoplanet 10,000 light-years away in its home galaxy. The team reported that the object at the center could be a very rare type of star called a magnetar--but one so powerful that it pushes the energy limits allowed by physics. An international team of professional and amateur astronomers spotted the possible supernova, now called ASASSN-15lh, when it first flared to life in June 2015. The gas ball surrounding the object can't be seen with the naked eye, because it's 3.8 billion light years away. But it was spotted by the All Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN, pronounced "assassin") collaboration. Led by Ohio State, the project uses a cadre of small telescopes around the world to detect bright objects in our local universe. Though ASAS-SN has discovered some 250 supernovae since the collaboration began in 2014, the explosion that powered ASASSN-15lh stands out for its sheer magnitude. It is 200 times more powerful than the average supernova, 570 billion times brighter than our sun, and 20 times brighter than all the stars in our Milky Way Galaxy combined. "We have to ask, how is that even possible?" said Krzysztof Stanek, professor of astronomy at Ohio State. "It takes a lot of energy to shine that bright, and that energy has to come from somewhere." "The honest answer is at this point that we do not know what could be the power source for ASASSN-15lh," said Subo Dong, lead author of the Science paper and a Youth Qianren Research Professor of astronomy at the Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics at Peking University. He added that the discovery "may lead to new thinking and new observations of the whole class of superluminous supernova." Todd Thompson, professor of astronomy at Ohio State, offered one possible explanation. The supernova could have spawned an extremely rare type of star called a millisecond magnetar, a rapidly spinning and very dense star with a very strong magnetic field. To shine so bright, this particular magnetar would also have to spin at least 1,000 times a second, and convert all that rotational energy to light with nearly 100 percent efficiency, Thompson explained. It would be the most extreme example of a magnetar that scientists believe to be physically possible. "Given those constraints," he said, "will we ever see anything more luminous than this? If it truly is a magnetar, then the answer is basically no." The Hubble Space Telescope will help settle the question later this year, in part because it will allow astronomers to see the host galaxy surrounding the object. If the team finds that the object lies in the very center of a large galaxy, then perhaps it's not a magnetar at all, and the gas around it is not evidence of a supernova, but instead some unusual nuclear activity around a supermassive black hole. If so, then its bright light could herald a completely new kind of event, said study co-author Christopher Kochanek, professor of astronomy at Ohio State and the Ohio Eminent Scholar in Observational Cosmology. It would be something never before seen in the center of a galaxy. The Daily Galaxy via Ohio State University Image Credit: NASA and Beijing Planetarium / Jin Ma

Iceland’s Hekla volcano “ready to blow”

A geophysics professor from the University of Iceland has warned people not to travel up Hekla volcano in South Iceland as it could erupt at any moment. As reported by Icelandic news website visir.is (link in Icelandic), Hekla erupted regularly ever ten years or so from 1970 to 2000 – but has now been silent for sixteen years. According to Professor Páll Einarsson, pressure readings within the famous volcano are now higher than before the last two previous eruptions – meaning it could blow with little warning. “Hekla is a dangerous volcano,” says Einarsson. “We could be looking at a major disaster when the next eruption begins if we are not careful.” MORE: 1980 Hekla eruption passenger jet near-miss “Hekla has become a very popular tourist destination. Nowadays, there are tourist groups on Hekla most of the summer,” Einarsson explain in the visir.is article. “There are also 20-30 planes full of passengers flying right over the top of Hekla every day,” he warns. “This is a risky moment which we need to take seriously.” New measurements have shown that Hekla has been gathering magma and internal pressure is higher than before the last two previous eruptions. “Hekla is ready – at any moment,” Einarsson concludes.

'ACCORDING TO THE MUSLIM FAITH, IF SOMEONE TRIES TO APOSTATE, HE OR SHE COULD BE KILLED'

June 21, 2016

Islamic apologists in the West, both Muslim and non-Muslim, routinely deny that Islam has a death penalty for those who leave Islam. They also deny that Islam allows for child marriage. How is it that so many Muslims in Pakistan have misunderstood their own faith? Says the local police chief in the article below: “The Muslims living in the area said nobody is allowed to go back to his or her old religion after embracing Islam. According to the Muslim faith, if someone tries to apostate, he or she could be killed.” And later on, the Washington Post informs us that Pakistan is “a country with no law against child marriage.” Apostasy: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89) A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence. This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent Muslim cleric in the world, has stated: “The Muslim jurists are unanimous that apostates must be punished, yet they differ as to determining the kind of punishment to be inflicted upon them. The majority of them, including the four main schools of jurisprudence (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali) as well as the other four schools of jurisprudence (the four Shiite schools of Az-Zaidiyyah, Al-Ithna-‘ashriyyah, Al-Ja’fariyyah, and Az-Zaheriyyah) agree that apostates must be executed.” Qaradawi also once famously said: “If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment, Islam wouldn’t exist today.”

Spending it all on rent: 11 million Americans spend half their income on rent. Another 21 million spend over 30 percent of their income on rent, a record high.

Posted by mybudget360 in income, real estate

The financial raiding of the American middle class is moving full steam ahead. The ridiculous structure of the banking bailouts and artificially low interest rates caused hot money from banks and big investors to crowd out regular families in the housing market. Now here we are 7 years after the official conclusion of the Great Recession and regular American families are financially struggling while banks and big investors thrive. Today 11 million Americans spend half of their income on rent. Another 21.3 million spent over 30 percent of their income on rent. With millions of properties being bought by investors since the Great Recession hit, all that has happened is a mega transfer of wealth. You don’t build equity by renting but many people are simply priced out from buying a home. The great bailout scam Most Americans have a hard time saving money. This is why housing has been a big plus in the net worth column for many households for more than a generation. This is seen as a forced savings mechanism. Yet the homeownership rate is at a generational low and we have a record percentage of families now renting building no equity. And the problem in big cities is even more pronounced. Here is a map showing how much you need to earn to afford a regular two-bedroom apartment: So it should come as no surprise that many young Americans stuck in low wage jobs are unable to rent a place and end up living with parents or roommates. Others simply spend a wild amount of their income on rent. In the past, this would be the prime age to buy but that is not happening. Unfortunately there are two big issues here: -1. There is a lost decade in homeownership growth. Meaning many people missed out on building equity. -2. Banks and investors continue to hoard homes causing an abnormal distortion to the market. This is manipulated because the Fed is forcibly keeping interest rates low. The end result was that investors dove into housing chasing yields in rental properties, a segment of the market that was largely left to mom and pop investors in the past. The amount of buying over the last decade was a new trend especially with big money flowing in – even though returns are low with zero percent interest rates, banks and big investors had little risk in loading up on rental properties. And rents continue to go up while incomes went stagnant: Rents are going up faster than wages and are far outpacing the overall inflation rate. So it is no surprise then that a record number of Americans are spending half of their money on rent. This makes it less likely that they are consuming on other goods or also saving for their own retirement. All it means is more money is being siphoned off to banks and investors. This is largely shuffling digital money around but Americans are now understanding who really has the power in this country. Large financial institutions are dictating how things play out even if it means things are worse off financially for regular working families.

There Are Now More Bureaucrats With Guns Than U.S. Marines

Report: Non-military federal agencies spend $1.48 billion on guns and ammo since 2006

BY: Elizabeth Harrington June 22, 2016 3:20 pm

There are now more non-military government employees who carry guns than there are U.S. Marines, according to a new report. Open the Books, a taxpayer watchdog group, released a study Wednesday that finds domestic government agencies continue to grow their stockpiles of military-style weapons, as Democrats sat on the House floor calling for more restrictions on what guns American citizens can buy. The “Militarization of America” report found civilian agencies spent $1.48 billion on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment between 2006 and 2014. Examples include IRS agents with AR-15s, and EPA bureaucrats wearing camouflage. “Regulatory enforcement within administrative agencies now carries the might of military-style equipment and weapons,” Open the Books said. “For example, the Food and Drug Administration includes 183 armed ‘special agents,’ a 50 percent increase over the ten years from 1998-2008. At Health and Human Services (HHS), ‘Special Office of Inspector General Agents’ are now trained with sophisticated weaponry by the same contractors who train our military special forces troops.” Open the Books found there are now over 200,000 non-military federal officers with arrest and firearm authority, surpassing the 182,100 personnel who are actively serving in the U.S. Marines Corps. The IRS spent nearly $11 million on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment for its 2,316 special agents. The tax collecting agency has billed taxpayers for pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns, semi-automatic Smith & Wesson M&P15s, and Heckler & Koch H&K 416 rifles, which can be loaded with 30-round magazines. The EPA spent $3.1 million on guns, ammo, and equipment, including drones, night vision, “camouflage and other deceptive equipment,” and body armor. When asked about the spending, and EPA spokesman said the report “cherry picks information and falsely misrepresents the work of two administrations whose job is to protect public health.” “Many purchases were mischaracterized or blown out of proportion in the report,” said spokesman Nick Conger. “EPA’s criminal enforcement program has not purchased unmanned aircraft, and the assertions that military-grade weapons are part of its work are false.” “EPA’s criminal enforcement program investigates and prosecutes the most egregious violators of our nation’s environmental laws, and EPA criminal enforcement agents are law enforcement professionals who have undergone the same rigorous training as other federal agents,” Conger continued. Other administration agencies that have purchased guns and ammo include the Small Business Administration, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Department of Education, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The report also highlighted that the Department of Health and Human Services has “special agents” with “sophisticated military-style weapons.” Open the Books also found $42 million in gun and ammunition purchases that were incorrectly coded. “Some purchases were actually for ping-pong balls, gym equipment, bread, copiers, cotton balls, or cable television including a line item from the Coast Guard entered as ‘Cable Dude,’” the report said. Open the Books appealed to both liberals like Bernie Sanders—who has called for demilitarizing local police departments—and conservatives in its report. “Conservatives argue that it is hypocritical for political leaders to undermine the Second Amendment while simultaneously equipping non-military agencies with hollow-point bullets and military style equipment,” Open the Books said. “One could argue the federal government itself has become a gun show that never adjourns with dozens of agencies continually shopping for new firearms.” Update June 23, 10:15 a.m.: Following publication of this article, Adam Andrzejewski, the CEO of Open the Books who wrote the report, pushed back against the EPA’s statement, and provided contract data to back up his claims. “How can the EPA spokesperson deny hard facts from their own checkbook?” he said. “Alongside our oversight report, OpenTheBooks.com also released a PDF of all raw data. This line-by-line transactional record from the EPA’s own checkbook on page 113 clearly shows that in 2013 and 2014 the EPA purchased tens of thousands of dollars of ‘Unmanned Aircraft’ from Bergen RC Helicopters Inc which on a net basis amounted to approximately $34,000.” “All of the assertions in our oversight report are the quantification of actual spending records produced and reported to us by the federal agencies themselves,” Andrzejewski said.

North Korea's Musudan Missile Test Actually Succeeded. What Now?

North Korea claims its sixth Musudan missile test this year was a success. Why does that matter?

By Ankit Panda June 23, 2016

Yesterday, North Korea launched two liquid-fueled Musudan (Hwasong-10) intermediate-range ballistic missiles. As I wrote then, the tests marked the fifth and sixth test launches of the missile this year. Testing began in mid-April, to coincide with the birth anniversary of Kim Il-sung, North Korea’s founder and grandfather to current leader Kim Jong-un. Sadly for Kim, all four tests prior to yesterday had failed either at launch or shortly after launch. (The Diplomat‘s John Power has a good round-up of the most recent tests at our Koreas channel.) Tests one through four failed, and yesterday, the first test (test launch five) also failed, though it flew further than the previous tests. It turns out that the sixth and final Musudan tested to date actually demonstrated results suggesting a high degree of success. Japan’s Defense Minister Gen Nakatani noted an apogee of around 1,000 kilometers for the missile. The sixth Musudan also covered the most surface distance, traveling 400 kilometers from its launch site near the North Korean city of Wonsan, on the country’s eastern coast overlooking the Sea of Japan. (Incidentally, the first missile fired yesterday also flew 150 kilometers, a significant upgrade over the previous launches in April and May.) The 1,000 kilometer apogee means that the missile made it into the Earth’s exosphere. Long-range ballistic missiles work by essentially hurling their payload high into the earth’s atmosphere, using a ballistic trajectory to reach their target, letting gravity and air resistance do most of the work in the reentry and terminal phases. A Musudan at 1,000 kilometers is a worrisome milestone, particularly if Pyongyang is able to mount its new compact nuclear devices on board the missile. The 400 kilometer range, meanwhile, shouldn’t deceive you; North Korea likely intended for the missile to fly at a steeper angle than would be ideal for it to reach its maximum range of 3,500 kilometers. (Pyongyang took care to make sure that the missile didn’t splash down within Japan’s air defense identification zone, as well.) Enjoying this article? Click here to subscribe for full access. Just $5 a month. Indeed, early on Thursday, a day after the Musudan test launches, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was reported to have said that the test was a full success and, critically, underlined that Pyongyang now had attained “the sure capability to attack” U.S. targets in the “Pacific operation theater,” most likely referring to Guam but also other regional U.S. bases. The definition of success in missile testing can be somewhat subjective; North Korea gets to decide the parameters it was looking to accomplish and it looks like Kim Jong-un is satisfied with the 1,000 kilometer apogee and the 400 kilometer range accomplishments. (Obvious failed tests meanwhile are easy to spot, particularly when a missile blows itself and its launcher up on or immediately after launch.) Kim Jong-un’s Thursday statement also helps explain why we’ve seen a particularly unusual spate of Musudan testing this spring. North Korea watchers have speculated that the repeated and rushed testing could have been due to Kim Jong-un needing to demonstrate, in line with his byungjin ambitions (more on that here), that he possessed a credible strike platform capable of hitting the U.S. territory of Guam. North Korea’s KN-08 and new KN-14 intercontinental ballistic missiles, which may be capable of striking most of the continental United States if developed successfully, remain in development and have yet to be test-fired. Jeffrey Lewis, a North Korea watcher and nonproliferation expert at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, notes that “If we do nothing, this ends in a successful flight test of the Musudan-based KN-08 (ICBM).” This test should be a reminder for policymakers in the United States and certainly in the region that North Korea continues to make steady progress on a range of platforms that bring Kim Jong-un closer to realizing the nuclear leg of byungjin, threatening regional peace and security. It’s far from obvious where Pyongyang goes from here. Kim Jong-un’s statement on Thursday suggests that the signaling value of the Musudan tests has been accomplished and, with a limited inventory of missiles remaining, Pyongyang may choose to hold off on further testing. Conversely, it could continue testing to protest international isolation and sanctions. The nightmare scenario is the possibility of Pyongyang using the know-how its gained with its Musudan testing to eventually conduct a flight test its KN-08 ICBM, with a possible atmospheric nuclear detonation to remove any doubts about miniaturization. However, amid attempts at an uneasy rapprochement with Beijing and even a willingness to enter a track 1.5 dialogue with regional and U.S. diplomats this week, Pyongyang may choose to tamp down its spate of testing somewhat and claim that its long-sought goal of credibly being able to threaten Guam with a nuclear strike has been achieved. With the country under economic stress from sanctions and under increased agricultural stress precipitating a famine, Kim has plenty of reason to turn his attention to the economic leg of byungjin.

The Supreme Court Just Created a Full-Blown Police State – The End of the USA Cannot Be Far Behind

Posted Jun 21, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

The Supreme Court ruling in Utah v Strieff awarded the police total freedom to stop any citizen, at any time, to do whatever they desire. The Supreme Court determined that the “poisonous fruit” of a police officer’s stop of a citizen can be used against them at trial. This has wiped out, in reality, any constitutional protection you thought you had. This is a sad day for the United States, for the Supreme Court has officially created a full-blown police state and clearly has no intention of honoring why this nation began the entire American Revolution — to prevent illegal searches that allowed the king to look for anything he could use to prosecute citizens. The Supreme Court ruled that even though the officer had initially violated a person’s rights (in other words, the Constitution) the officer’s conduct was “at most negligent” and the result of “good-faith mistakes.” This language is a wink and nod to the police who only have to claim they made a mistake that was not intentional and they walk free. We have witnessed police outrageously murder citizens, but the police officers involved are usually not charged. Now, with this decision, the United States has become exactly as Ukraine stood before the people revolted. A friend of mine from Ukraine came to the states before the last revolution. When they would see a police officer, they would tense up and try to avoid them at all costs. At home, the police were the criminals. They would shake you down, abuse you, and there was simply no rule of law. The Supreme Court, as of yesterday, has committed suicide. In February 1761, James Otis, Jr. (1725–1783) argued brilliantly against the Writs of Assistance that was authorized in 1660 but became an instrument of tyranny in 1758 in the American colonies as a means to raise taxes. For nearly five hours, Otis made a brilliant oration in court against the Writs, but he lost the case, for what judge would ever rule against his master? John Adams later wrote that “the child independence was then and there born, [for] every man of an immense crowded audience appeared to me to go away as I did, ready to take arms against writs of assistance.” This spirit of resistance appears to rise roughly every 51.6 years, albeit at different intensity. This very power to arbitrarily search anyone sparked the American Revolution. No taxation without representation followed, but the inspiration was the right to be free and the Supreme Court just took away. The police no longer have restraint. This is the final stage of how empires, nations, and city-states collapse when there is no rule of law. Once the state elevates itself above the people, the end is not far behind. The dissenting words of Justice Sonia Sotomayor reflect the dire state to which the United States has degenerated. Scalia would have joined Justice Sotomayor on this one, and if he were still alive, he would have tipped the scale and protected our liberty. With Scalia gone, who was a strict constructionist, there is little hope left in the Supreme Court. Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote, “Even if you are innocent, you will now join the 65 million Americans with an arrest record and experience the ‘civil death’ of discrimination by employers, landlords, and whoever else conducts a background check.” She concluded, and I must agree: By legitimizing the conduct that produces this double consciousness, this case tells everyone, white and black, guilty and innocent, that an officer can verify your legal status at any time. It says that your body is subject to invasion while courts excuse the violation of your rights. It implies that you are not a citizen of a democracy but the subject of a carceral state, just waiting to be cataloged. We must not pretend that the countless people who are routinely targeted by police are “isolated.” They are the canaries in the coal mine whose deaths, civil and literal, warn us that no one can breathe in this atmosphere. They are the ones who recognize that unlawful police stops corrode all our civil liberties and threaten all our lives. Until their voices matter too, our justice system will continue to be anything but.

'No Fly, No Buy' Means No Freedom

By Andrew P. Napolitano June 23, 2016

The people in the government who want to control our personal choices are the enemies of freedom. And the enemies of freedom can be very clever and seductive. Last week, these folks, manifesting their lust to keep us dependent upon the government by rejecting the natural right to self-defense, coined a clever phrase: “No fly, no buy.” It sounds rational, yet it rejects core American values. The phrase was pounded home to average Americans during a one-sided 15-hour televised marathon on the floor of the Senate orchestrated by the gun control crowd. The essence of the argument was that stricter laws regarding gun sales would have prevented the massacre at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. In gun control advocates’ dream world, the self-loathing Islamic State-inspired killer, willing to take 49 innocent lives, would somehow have been unwilling to violate restrictive gun purchase laws; and his obedience to those laws would have saved lives. Their argument is naive and absurd. A person willing to commit mass murder is surely willing to break the law to acquire the means to commit the murders. So blinded were these senators in their misguided utterances about self-defense that they forgot about the Constitution. Myths, Misunderstandings and Outright lies about owning Gold. Are you at risk? The legislation they offered would have required that people whose names the feds put on a terror watchlist or a no-fly list (these are often done simultaneously) would not be legally able to purchase a gun. The senators summarized this idea dozens of times as “no fly, no buy.”Though this phrase, which was quickly picked up by many of my colleagues in the media, has an easy and simplistic ring to it, it reveals a troubling ideology that profoundly rejects core American values. When Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights and when the inalienability of our rights was codified in the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, the United States was wedded to the Judeo-Christian principle that our rights stem from our humanity. This was expressly recognized recently by the Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller, in which it held that the right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental personal right, not a gift of the government to a group. A fundamental personal right is the natural ability of individuals to make meaningful choices without a government permission slip. May the government ever interfere with fundamental rights? The short answer is yes. The longer answer is that it can only do so if it can demonstrate a compelling governmental interest — served by the least restrictive means, and only after due process. Stated differently, if the government wants to silence your speech or deny you the right to self-defense, it must meet a very high burden in a public courtroom. It must demonstrate to a judge and jury that its need to silence or disarm you is compelling, and its goals may not be attained by any lesser means. Americans need not demonstrate a compelling need to speak or bear arms; the government must demonstrate a compelling need to prevent us from doing so. That is what lawyers call black letter law — meaning it is well-established, followed throughout the land and rarely challenged. Until now. Earlier this week in the Senate, the gun control crowd sought to give nameless and faceless federal bureaucrats the ability to strip Americans of their right to keep and bear arms by putting their names on a terror watchlist/no-fly list and prohibiting those on the list from buying guns. Yet none of these senators could state the criteria for putting a name on that list, and none could identify the people who prepare or keep the list. That’s because these are well-guarded government secrets — secrets that have no place in American life. If a government bureaucrat can put your name on a secret list on the bureaucrat’s own whim or even using secret standards and, as a result, you have lost a fundamental liberty, then the feds have transformed a natural right into a governmental gift. If the feds can create a no-fly list in secret and “no fly” comes to mean “no buy,” then we have no rights but what the government will permit us to do. As if to underscore his ignorance of American values, one of the senators even stated that due process is killing us. He must have forgotten his oath to uphold the Constitution, which guarantees that the government may not take life, liberty or property without due process. Due process — the absolute right to know the law and to force the government to prove a violation of it to a jury before it can take life, liberty or property — is the essence of the rights of free people. It is utterly scandalous — and probably disqualifying from office — that a senator could bemoan its existence. Can you see how low we have sunk? The gun control crowd doesn’t care about personal liberty in a free society; it just cares about control. It wants us all to be pliant and reliant on a government that it controls; never mind that it is utterly incapable of protecting us from crazies who will resort to mass death for their own deranged purposes. If the government secretly can put an American’s name on a secret list and, as a result, his liberty is lost, then there are no freedoms — just government-granted privileges. And if it can do this to the natural rights to travel and self-defense, can other fundamental rights be far behind?

US general warns Russia could OVERWHELM eastern Europe in just 36 hours as Putin blames Nato's 'aggressive actions' for building up his country's military forces

The warning came from the commander of US ground forces in Europe

Gen Ben Hodges said Russia could conquer Baltic capitals in 36 hours

Heavy military equipment could not be moved fast enough, he warned

Russia is creating new divisions along its southwest regions

By Ted Thornhill for MailOnline Published: 09:18 EST, 22 June 2016 | Updated: 15:54 EST, 22 June 2016

Nato would currently be unable to protect the Baltics against a Russian attack, the commander of US ground forces in Europe, General Ben Hodges, said in a news report Wednesday. 'Russia could take over the Baltic states faster than we would be able to defend them,' Hodges was quoted as saying in a German-language article by news weekly Die Zeit. His comments came as Putin slammed Nato for ratcheting up its rhetoric and its 'aggressive actions' close to Russia's border, warning it was forcing Moscow to increase its military capacity. General Hodges had said he agreed with an assessment by military analysts that says Russian forces could conquer the capitals of Baltic states Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia within 36 to 60 hours. Hodges also said Nato forces had found numerous deficiencies during the recent 'Anaconda' military exercise in Poland, according to the article from Thursday's edition of Die Zeit released early to AFP. Heavy military equipment could not be moved fast enough from western to eastern Europe, he said, while also voicing concern about the alliance's communication technology. 'Neither radio communication nor email are secure,' he was quoted as saying. 'I assume that everything I write on my BlackBerry is being monitored.' The Anaconda manoeuvre included troops from more than 20 Nato member states but was officially a Polish national exercise. Hodges told Die Zeit that 'some countries, like France and Germany, thought it would be too provocative toward Russia to call it a Nato exercise'. Putin's remarks about Nato aggression came on the 75th anniversary of the invasion of the USSR by Nazi Germany. 'Nato is stepping up its aggressive rhetoric and its aggressive actions close to our borders,' Putin told lawmakers. 'In these conditions, we are obliged to dedicate special attention to resolving tasks connected with heightening the defence capabilities of our country.' Putin also accused the West of rejecting Russian overtures to help tackle the common foe of 'international terrorism' - as it once ignored the Soviet Union's warnings about Hitler - as it seeks to isolate Moscow over the Ukraine crisis. 'Once again, as it was on the eve of World War II, (we) are not seeing a positive response,' Putin said. Relations between Russia and the West have slumped to their lowest point since the Cold War over Moscow's 2014 annexation of Crimea from Ukraine and its alleged masterminding of a separatist uprising. Russian aircraft have also increased tensions recently by launching a series of provocative intercepts of Nato, Swedish and other aircraft. Nato announced last week that it would deploy four battalions to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland to counter a more assertive Russia, ahead of a landmark summit in Warsaw on July 8-9. All four countries were once ruled from Moscow and remain deeply suspicious of Russian intentions, especially after Russia's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. Russia bitterly opposes Nato's expansion into its Soviet-era satellites and last month said it would create three new divisions in its southwest region to meet what it described as a dangerous military build-up along its borders.

By David Martosko, U.s. Political Editor For Dailymail.com Published: 16:30 EST, 22 June 2016 | Updated: 10:50 EST, 23 June 2016

Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said Wednesday that he will support Donald Trump with his vote in November. The declaration, which Rumsfeld made in an interview with DailyMail.com, makes him the highest-ranking member of the George W. Bush administration to back the Republican Party's presumptive nominee. It's 'not a close call,' he said in a 25-minute phone interview. Rumsfeld said he agrees in principle with Trump's position on reforming the NATO alliance, keeping Syrian refugees at bay over fears of terrorist infiltration, and other issues. And besides, he added, 'I'm a Republican, and there's not any doubt in my mind how I'll vote,' and 'I don't believe Hillary Clinton is qualified to be President of the United States.' 'I am incredibly grateful for the support of Secretary Rumsfeld, and I am very honored he supports my stances on NATO, the need to defeat ISIS and stop immigration of Syrian refugees,' Trump told DailyMail.com in a statement. Bush, the 43rd president, has given no indication that he will back Trump, who bounced his younger brother Jeb from a vicious GOP primary process this year. The former president has indicated that he won't attend July's Republican National Convention in Cleveland, an event already being talked about as 'The Trump Show' inside party circles. Colin Powell, the Bush-era secretary of state, has been openly hostile to Trump over his immigration positions. 'Let's tell all the immigrants working in Trump hotels to stay home tomorrow. See what happens,' he told the Washington Ideas Forum last October. Rumsfeld said Powell's opposition to his party's standard bearer is unsurprising. 'He supported Obama, Colin did! That's nothing new,' he said. Rumsfeld spoke with DailyMail.com as part of a media tour aimed at promoting the release of his 'Churchill Solitaire' app on the Android platform. The iPhone version has been downloaded more than 650,000 times and represents Winston Churchill's favorite version of the play-alone card game. Rumsfeld said he learned the game in 1973 from André de Staercke, a Belgian NATO diplomat, who learned it 30 years earlier from Churchill himself. 'I was afraid it would be lost to the ages,' he said Wednesday, while admitting the technology mystified him at first. 'I didn't even know what an app was!' he marveled. 'Don't tell anyone.' An animated Rumsfeld, 83, was even more eager to talk about the Trump phenomenon, saying that a year ago 'you could count on one hand' the number of people who thought he would be the GOP nominee. While the former defense secretary said he and Trump have never met, he agrees with the real estate tycoon about what Trump calls the potential for a 'Trojan horse' infiltration of terrorists among the Syrian refugees whom the Obama administration has been resettling in the U.S. 'He's absolutely right,' he said. 'Anyone who thinks the radical Islamists are not going to try to utilize every venue they can find to infiltrate in the United States, and in western European countries, to achieve their goals – these people just don't get it.' 'They've announced what they're going to do,' he said of the ISIS terror army. On the refugee crisis and the need for a NATO reboot, Rumsfeld said he has arrived at a Trump-aligned position through a different line of argument. 'We've got an enormous obligation' to help fleeing Syrians, he said, 'and the United Nations is so incompetent and inept and unhelpful ... this refugee problem is the most heartbreaking thing in the world.' But instead of politicizing the issue and moving the refugees halfway around the world, he said, the U.S. should be mobilizing regional powers to give them somewhere to flee to. 'We've got an obligation to provide safe zones for them,' he said. 'We've got to be proactive rather than arguing whether we should have 1000 or 2000 or 3000' in the United States. 'How is what I've said different from what he's said?' he asked, referring to Trump – whose position is nearly identical but contains an extra layer of terrorism rhetoric. 'The way he said it got him the Republican nomination for president. The way I said it makes people's eyes glaze over' but is 'less concerning to some people. ''The only real difference is [that] one is striking a nerve.' Trump's immigration policy and his own views, he said, similarly arrive at the same end but form different starting points. Most immigrants, he said, don't 'want to impose a different system on us.' But 'countries ought to be able to maintain their values' in the face of immigrant populations that don't want to assimilate. On NATO, Rumsfeld emphasized that most media reports of Trump's stated goals have been inaccurate. 'People have played very fast and loose,' he said. 'What he actually said was different from the characterizations that followed.' Rumsfeld, once America's NATO ambassador himself, agreed with Trump that the internal compass of the organization needs an overhaul, proclaiming the presumptive nominee's position is 'not far from what I wrote ... to President Bush 13 or 14 years ago.' NATO, he said, was 'fashioned during the Truman administration, and they do need to be updated for the 21st century and the information age.' Hillary Clinton has pounced on popularized but inaccurate versions of Trump's NATO pronouncements, saying he would withdraw the U.S. from the alliance entirely. Rumsfeld framed the choice between Clinton and Trump in terms political historians will find familiar, relying on the words he used in 2002 to describe questions about the U.S. intelligence community's ability to spot weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. 'Mrs. Clinton is a known known. Donald Trump is a known unknown who's a recent entry into the equation,' he said, attributing the insight to his wife. 'And I am a lot more comfortable with a known unknown, who I will support, than with a known known who is unacceptable.' 'I couldn't support Mrs. Clinton,' he emphasized. 'What she has done with classified information I think is inexcusable and puts at risk people's lives [and] not just ours.' Clinton is facing an FBI investigation concerning classified material found among emails she housed on a homebrew private server while she ran the State Department. 'I personally believe that if she were a sergeant in the Army or a yeoman in the Navy, she'd probably be indicted,' he said. 'It's just inexcusable. You just can't do that!' The impact of Clinton's data security practices will be far-reaching, Rumsfeld predicted. 'Other countries will be less likely to share information with us,' he said, now that it's clear the U.S. government can't maintain the secrecy it once boasted as a core competency. And the potential for hacking, he said, means state secrets are falling 'into the hands of the other side,' which 'tells them that we had the information, which means they can figure out how we got it and stop us from getting more ... and even compromise the people who gave it to us or allow us to get it.' Rumsfeld also took issue with Clinton's statements to family members of U.S. personnel killed in a 2012 terror attack on a diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya. Those next of kin have said Clinton blamed their loved ones' deaths on an anti-Islam YouTube video, rather than identifying the carnage as the result of a jihadi attack. Her emails at the time show that she conceded the truth to her daughter and to foreign leaders. 'When Mrs. Clinton said to those people, the parents of the people killed, that it was the video, when she knew completely, certainly, that it wasn't' – he said, suddenly falling silent. 'I mean, I'm very uncomfortable with someone like that,' he concluded.

Paul Craig Roberts Just Exposed The Terrifying Reason Why The Elites Had To Stop Brexit At All Costs

June 22, 2016

Former U.S. Treasury Secretary, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, just exposed the terrifying reason why the elites had to stop Brexit at all costs. (King World News) Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: “If you read the presstitute media, Brexit—the referendum tomorrow on the UK’s exit from the EU— is about racism. According to the story line, angry rightwing racists of violent inclinations want to leave the EU to avoid having to accept more dark-skinned immigrants into England… Continue reading the Dr. Paul Craig Roberts piece below… Despite the constant propaganda against exit, polls indicated that more favored leaving the EU than remaining until a female member of Parliament, Jo Cox, was killed by a man that a witness said shouted “Brexit.” Cox was an opponent of leaving the EU. Cox’s Murder Used To Drive The Propaganda The UK government and presstitute media used Cox’s murder to drive home the propaganda that violent racists were behind Brexit. However, other witnesses gave a different report. The Guardian, which led with the propaganda line, did report later in its account that “Other witnesses said the attack was launched after the MP became involved in an altercation involving two men near where she held her weekly surgery.” Of course, we will never know, because Cox’s murder is too valuable of a weapon against Brexit. There is no doubt that many in the UK are disturbed at the transformation of their country. One doesn’t have to be a racist to feel that one’s country is being stolen from them by people of alien cultures. The British have a long history of fighting off invaders, and many believe they are experiencing an invasion, although not an armed one. An armed one, of course, would not have the government’s and media’s support. When British people hear pundits pronounce that immigrants contribute more to the UK than they absorb in social payments, what they hear is inconsistent with their experience. Moreover, many British are tired of having to avoid entire sections of their cities, including London, because of safety concerns. The U.K. Being Led Down The Rabbit Hole Of Its Own Destruction It is a propaganda choice to call these concerns racism rather than cultural defense, and the UK political establishment has made that propaganda choice. Little wonder so many British citizens no longer believe that the British Establishment represents Britain. But let’s give the propagandists the benefit of the doubt and for sake of argument assume that Brexit is about racism. What is the opposition to Brexit really about? Most certainly it is not about helping the refugees from Washington’s wars that the UK government has enabled. If the British establishment cared so much for the Muslims seeking refuge from America’s invasions, bombs, and drones, the British establishment would not have supported Washington’s attacks on these people. Opposition to Brexit is based on two powerful interests of Washington. The End Of London As A Financial Center? One is the interests of the New York banks and Wall Street to eliminate the UK as a financial center competitor. This blatant fact has escaped the notice of the City and the Bank of England. The British have forgotten that they only have one foot in the EU, because the UK was permitted to keep its own currency. The UK does not use the euro and, thus, retains the power to finance the British government. Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, etc., do not have this capability. They are dependent on private banks for financing. In order to trick the UK into joining the EU, the British were given special privileges. However, these privileges cannot last forever. The EU process is one of political integration. As I reported years ago, Jean-Claude Trichet, at that time the president of the European Central Bank, said that to complete the political integration of Europe, the fiscal policies of member states would be centralized. It is impossible to centralize fiscal policies if the UK is an independent financial center with its own central bank and currency. Why The Elites Had To Stop Brexit At All Costs Wall Street understands that the defeat of Brexit means a shortened lifespan for London as a financial center, as it is impossible to be a financial center unless a country has its own currency and central bank. As it is impossible for the UK to be a member of the EU and not operate under the European Central Bank, once the Brexit referendum is defeated, the process of gradually forcing the UK into the euro will begin. The other powerful interest is the interest of Washington to prevent one country’s exit from leading to the exit of other countries. As CIA documents found in the US National Archives make clear, the EU was a CIA initiative, the purpose of which is to make it easy for Washington to exercise political control over Europe. It is much easier for Washington to control the EU than 28 separate countries. Moreover, if the EU unravels, so likely would NATO, which is the necessary cover for Washington’s aggression. The EU serves Washington and the One Percent. It serves no one else. The EU is a murderer of sovereignty and peoples. The intent is for the British, French, Germans, Italians, Greeks, Spanish, and all the rest to disappear as peoples. Brexit is the last chance to defeat this hidden agenda, and apparently the British will vote tomorrow without having a clue as to what is at stake and what the vote is about.” ***Also just released: Shocking Interview From A Legend On Brexit And The Global Chaos That Will Ensue After Brexit CLICK HERE.

Hunting Humans Could Become 'Big Game' In Future As Economy Continues To Crumble - With The Elite Now Using Food As A Weapon Against Humanity, 'Dark Tourism' Is Already Worth Billions Yearly And Set To Explode As Chaos Takes Hold June 22, 2016

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

The story that the Drudge Report linked to on Tuesday from the Mirror sounds like something out of a dystopian science fiction horror novel but apparently it may one day become all too real; "Hunting Humans Set To Become Big Business For The Super Rich Within The Next 100 Years" we are told. As we hear in the 1st video below from WeaponizedNEWS.Com, we're now getting more and more proof that the 1% want to put the rest of us into a 'hunger games' scenario as we approach UN's Agenda-2030. The 2nd video below is the trailer for the classic movie "Running Man" which takes place, by the way, in the year 2017. ("Oh what timing!" Susan says!) While the elite hunting down humans might sound way out of the realm of possibility to some, the fact that the majority of men and women living in Venezuela are now very hungry with some resorting to hunting down dogs and cats to eat, just to survive, while the elite in Venezuela still dine on gourmet foods should send us a loud and clear signal that it's not out of the realm of possibility. When we also consider the way we're heading in society with dark and evil forces at work all around us, we should heed the warnings of what experts tell us it would take for our society to reach that point which they warn we're already approaching, though we may still be 100 years away from. Telling us that 'dark tourism' is a flourishing business even now in 2016 that is worth billions of dollars a year, we're told that the range of 'dark tourism' from now into the future range from scenes of death from concentration camps and museums dedicated to serial killers and mass murderers to one day featuring the real-life barbarism of the soulless elite hunting down other human beings for sport, and maybe food, if it's not happening privately already. As if we need more proof of how far America and the West have already fallen, we're told that the 'elite' will likely be willing to pay millions of dollars to be able to hunt down and murder other human beings and by the year 2200, such 'events' will likely become televised public spectacle, similar to 'The Hunger Games' or the classic 'The Running Man'.  The nightmare prediction comes from Daniel Wright, senior lecturer in tourism at the University of Central Lancashire in a paper for the scientific journal Futures. He outlined a world ravaged by economic and ecological disasters , leading to overpopulation and a huge gap between rich and poor. But, he said, it also reflect both the past when public executions attracted huge crowds, to the craze for 'Dark Tourism' that is currently work billions a year. This includes scenes of death from battlefields to Ground Zero, concentration camps open to the public and even museums dedicated to murderers such as Jack the Ripper or Dracula. What would it take for us to reach the point where the elite hunting human for sport is not only widely accepted but becomes a public spectacle such as the Hunger Games movie series that showed the youth hunting each other down for sport, in a sick public sacrifice, broadcast for the entire world to see? Is this what our world is coming to, a futuristic gladiatorial society where life no longer matters and people pay to witness or participate in public murder? Hunting humans as an underground sport could happen as early as 2100, the report suggests, but becoming an authentic tourism experience by 2200.Of course the world will have to take a turn for the worse to reach a situation where rich people can hunt poor people for sport. Daniel Wright said: "Death as a spectacle is not a new phenomenon in social spaces. "In fact, our past arguably shows the human fascination for death, through various forms, to be more of a social activity. "Roman gladiatorial games and public executions are well documented examples throughout history." Have America and the West already fallen so far that the future that is warned of for us as early as 2100, that includes the elite hunting down human beings, could become a reality far before they warned us it would? With the economy now heading towards freefall and evil spreading all around us as warned in these three recent stories from Susan Duclos on ANP, have we already arrived at a point where that crossover to barbarism is already upon us? It has been widely proven that the elite who are working to destroy America have a depopulation agenda in store for mankind so that they can get the population of the Earth down to their ideal number of 500 million as represented on the Georgia Guidestones. We have warned time and again that the elite will use food as a weapon upon the people and as we see now in Venezuela, a country without food quickly leads to widespread chaos. The fact that these elite would have no problem hunting down other humans and would actually pay to do so should come as no surprise to ANP readers who know that in this world, absolute evil exists and can be seen in many places all around us if one only looks hard enough to cut through the veil of deception that surrounds us. We're told it would likely take a "future 'captured in fear' scenario" that could lead to the sci-fi nightmare of human beings hunting other human beings down for sport (or food?) We'd venture to bet that it is already happening in small corners of the world where there is no media to broadcast it and nobody left after 'the games' to tell the world the truth. Ecological disasters mean not enough food or land to support the population and megarich tourists hunting the poor to keep the numbers down but as sport too. Wright, outlining his future vision, added: "During these activities the oppressive mega-rich carry out vacations to purposely slaughter humans, with the 'claimed' aim to reduce population size, but an element of perverse thrill and excitement was said to be fuelling the demand. "Due to the strain on resources for human survival the practice gradually became more recognisable and acceptable on the part of the wider population who form part of the wealthy-elite."

How the 'Brexit' Vote Could Impact Americans

By MORGAN WINSOR Jun 24, 2016, 1:03 PM ET

The so-called Brexit vote may seem far removed for most U.S. citizens, but the impact of Britain's exit from the European Union could affect Americans in more ways than one. About half of the American workforce participates in a company retirement plan, according to an analysis of data compiled by the Pew Charitable Trusts. If this includes you, then you’re one of the tens of thousands of people whose investments are at risk from the market turbulence. As Wall Street joins the global market selloff today, your 401(k) will decrease in value temporarily. The good news is that these retirement funds are long-term investments and should be able to weather the storm in the long run. ”No matter how old you are, we’re still looking to the markets to be going up ultimately,” Lauren Lyons Cole, a certified financial planner and personal finance editor at the International Business Times, said on a Facebook live video. “Today, [the markets] might be down 2 or 3 percent but that doesn’t mean you should sell everything – not by a long shot. You want to just keep steady and continue to watch it.” Your Mortgage American households and would-be homeowners will likely see mortgage rates and the cost of buying a house drop, at least in the short term. Investors are currently selling off riskier assets for safe havens, like U.S. Treasuries and gold. As demand for government debt soars, interest rates will fall, with the potential to cause mortgage rates to drop. "In the short term, the move by Britain will unsettle financial markets both in the U.S. and abroad, and likely lead investors to seek haven in safe assets outside of the U.K. and Europe," said Boston College economics professor Robert Murphy. "With a spike in demand for safe U.S. Treasury bonds, yields are likely to move downward. And as investors shift into dollar-denominated assets, the dollar will gain strength against the euro and the pound." The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 1.57 percent earlier today, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader data. The last time it was this low was in 2012 and mortgage rates followed suit. The average 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage has also sunk to nearly a three-year low in the past month, hovering around 3.7 percent. Financial analysts expect the Brexit vote to drive down rates even further in the coming weeks. “If you’re a borrower, don’t wait to lock your rate,” Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at Bankrate, told The Washington Post today. “As this opportunity may not last long.” At the current average rate, you’ll pay roughly $462 a month in principal and interest for every $100,000 you borrow, according to Bankrate. Your Business The U.S. dollar is surging in value in the exchange markets, which will drive up the cost for U.S. exports to the U.K. and elsewhere in Europe. This could bring down sales and profits for U.S.-based multinational companies, because the United Kingdom and the E.U. are huge export markets for the United States, totaling about $328 billion last year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Thirty firms in the S&P 500 generate more than 10 percent of their sales from the United Kingdom, according to data from FactSet Research. "With the E.U. being its largest trading partner, any slowdown in Europe will weaken growth in the U.S. over the near term," said Murphy, a former economist with the Clinton Administration. “Longer-term consequences of Brexit depend on how quickly the process of negotiating new trade and financial arrangements between Britain, the E.U., and other countries takes place. This surely will take several years, meaning that negative economic consequences are likely to be felt for some time.” Also, E.U. membership allows financial firms in the U.K. a “passport” to do business across the other 27 countries. That means American companies can do the same anywhere in the E.U. as long as they set up a branch or subsidiary in a member states. Forty percent of the world's top 250 multinational companies have their European headquarters in London, according to research by Deloitte. The loss of this “passport” will hit American businesses operating out of the U.K. Your Vacation Plans The International Monetary Fund has warned that a Brexit could force the U.K. into a recession. But as the British pound and other European currencies shed value against the U.S. dollar, that trip to London is looking more and more affordable. This means traveling to the U.K. and the rest of Europe will likely become considerably cheaper for U.S. citizens in the coming weeks.

Brexit Leaves Alarm Bells Ringing in Israel

By Yossi Mekelberg On 6/24/16 at 12:14 PM

The day after a tumultuous night, the United Kingdom woke up to a Brexit hangover. Months of fractious, even nasty, campaigning came to an end with a result that surprised even Leave voters themselves. It leaves the country and society divided, and in need of healing the deep rifts opened in the wake of the campaign and its aftermath. Many Britons up and down the country anxiously waited up all night for the results to be declared. Interest in this once-in-a-generation referendum, however, was not confined to Great Britain alone or even the EU, but far beyond. Israel might not be the first example that comes to mind as concerning itself with whether its former Mandatory power stays in or leaves the EU. Nevertheless, within Israel there was a strong, general curiosity about the referendum and more specifically a concern as to how it would affect the Jewish state. Israel has always had complex and even prickly relations with the European Union, mainly around the issue of peace with the Palestinians. From the Venice Declaration of 1980, which called for the right of Palestinians to self-determination, to the most recent French peace initiative, Europe has been seen as biased against Israel. Ironically, Israel is enjoying one of the most favorable trade and cultural agreements with this experimental supranational European entity. Hence, Israeli attitudes towards Brexit depend on whether one thinks it is good for the country to have a strong EU with Britain at the heart of it, or a weak one without it. Furthermore, views in Israel varied about the impact of Britain’s leaving the EU, from those who predicted almost no impact, to those who watched the situation with concern regarding the possibility of what would happen if Israel’s closest ally were to vote out. British Prime Minister David Cameron, in a last ditch attempt to convince members of the Jewish community to support the Remain campaign, told them rather bluntly: “Do you want Britain, Israel’s greatest friend, in there opposing boycotts, opposing the campaign for divestment and sanctions, or do you want us outside the room, powerless to effect the discussion that takes place?” Cameron appealed to a similar sentiment that I found prevalent in my most recent visit to Israel—that Israel needs Britain as a strong and supportive voice against those who are highly critical of Israel within the EU. The decision to leave and Cameron’s resignation come at the time when the mood in Brussels is that Israel’s expansion of settlements, or stand on not negotiating peace with the Palestinians, should no longer go unpunished. Interestingly enough, those close to the settlement movement in the West Bank urged Israelis with a right to vote in the referendum to support leaving the EU. For the Right in Israel it is in the country’s best interest to see a divided and weak European Union with little impact on the future of the occupied territories, in terms of financial aid to the Palestinians and especially a final status agreement. But they should be careful what they wish for in the name of their short-term partisan interest. Regardless, if one is a fan of the soon-to-be-former PM Cameron, he is one of the friendliest British leaders towards Israel in history. Whether inside or outside the European Union, a powerful and prosperous U.K. is important for Israel due to the close economic, strategic, scientific and cultural cooperation between the two. Great Britain is Israel’s chief trade partner on the continent and if its economy suffers as a result of leaving the EU, the ripple effect will be felt in Israel too. Despite growing calls in the U.K. and outside for an academic boycott on Israel, for instance, recently over 350 leading Israeli and British medical researchers met at the University of Oxford in the largest bilateral gathering in years. With the absence of British influence in Europe, Israel is going to be more vulnerable not only to a formal BDS but also the more subtle slowdown in collaboration on wide range of issues. Lastly, Israel as a Jewish state has a sense of responsibility towards world Jewry. Brexit represents, among other phenomena, the rise of nationalism not only in Britain, but across the entire continent. Far-right parties, such as the National Front in France or the Northern League in Italy, expressed their joy at the outcome of the British referendum and demanded similar referenda in their own countries. The rise of nationalism in Europe, of which Brexit is one manifestation, is not a good sign for minorities in the continent, especially for the Jewish minority and their very particular history of persecution. All considered, the British decision that its future lies outside the EU will raise a number of alarm bells among the decision makers in Jerusalem, especially knowing that there is very little they can do about it. Prof. Yossi Mekelberg is the head of the International Relations & Social Sciences Programme at Regent’s University London and associate fellow of the MENA Programme at Chatham House.

Deadlocked Supreme Court blocks Obama on immigration

By Lydia Wheeler and Jordan Fabian - 06/23/16 10:41 AM EDT

The Supreme Court dealt a critical blow to President Obama's immigration policies on Thursday, deadlocking in a 4-4 decision over two controversial programs the White House wants to implement. The tied vote leaves in place a lower court ruling that blocks a program allowing undocumented immigrants who are parents of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents to remain in the United States for three years and apply for work permits. It also prevents the administration from otherwise expanding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program issued by Obama in 2012. This is the most prominent Supreme Court case to stall in a 4-4 tie, and it raises the stakes further in this fall's presidential election. After Justice Antonin Scalia died in February, Obama nominated federal Judge Merrick Garland to the court. But Senate Republicans, even before that nomination, said they would not hold a vote or a hearing for anyone nominated by Obama, arguing the pivotal vote on the high court should be determined by the next president. The White House and Democrats in Congress have howled in rage over that move, and Thursday's decision will increase tensions over the Senate blockade. Obama in an appearance from the White House press briefing room decried what he called the "lack" of a decision by the eight-justice court. “The fact the Supreme Court wasn’t able to issue a decision today doesn’t just set the system back even further, it takes us further back from the country we want to be," he said. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) blasted the GOP Senate majority for failing to consider Garland in comments on the Supreme Court's steps. "This 4-4 decision is clear evidence we need nine justices on the court," Durbin said. Democratic Party standard-bearer Hillary Clinton has backed the president’s actions and said she would go even further as president to reshape immigration policy. "Today’s deadlocked decision from the Supreme Court is unacceptable, and shows us all just how high the stakes are in this election,” she said in a statement. Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump has pledged to place tough new restrictions on illegal immigration, including the construction of a massive wall along the U.S.'s southern border that he says Mexico will pay for. Republicans hailed the high court’s vote. “The Supreme Court’s ruling makes the president’s executive action on immigration null and void,” Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said in a statement. “The Constitution is clear: The president is not permitted to write laws — only Congress is. This is another major victory in our fight to restore the separation of powers.” Thursday's action does not affect the original DACA decision by Obama that allows certain children who entered or stayed in the United States illegally to remain in the country and apply for work permits. Twenty-six Republican-led states sued the federal government over the expansion of that program, as well as the new program for parents, after the president issued fresh executive actions in November 2014. The states claimed they would be burdened by having to spend more on public services like healthcare, law enforcement and education if undocumented parents of both American citizens and legal permanent residents were allowed to stay in the country. Texas, specifically, said it would be hurt by having to issue more driver's licenses, a benefit that’s now subsidized. Supporters of the administration argued that Texas could pass the added costs for driver’s licenses on to residents. They claim the challenging states actually stand to make money off Obama’s programs from an increase in tax contributions. A three-judge panel from a federal appeals court in New Orleans said in a split decision the Obama administration lacked the legal power to shield more than 4 million undocumented immigrants from deportation and grant them work permits. It handed a nationwide injunction preventing the administration from putting the programs into place. By failing to provide a new ruling on that decision, the Supreme Court's action on Thursday leaves it in place. The actual lawsuit suit filed by the 26 states is still working its way through the court system. When Obama took the action to expand his immigration programs, it was part of a last-ditch effort to take action after Congress failed to pass a sweeping overhaul of nation’s immigration system that would have offered a path to citizenship for millions of people living in the country illegally. Immigrant rights activists derided Obama as the “deporter in chief” for ramping up the pace of deportations during his first term. Since then, he’s taken steps to narrow the focus of immigration enforcement, and his executive actions were seen as a centerpiece of his push to reverse that trend.

Pentagon ban on transgender troops 'likely' to be lifted next month

Published June 25, 2016 FoxNews.com

The Pentagon is "likely" to repeal its ban on transgender service members next month, defense officials told Fox News Friday, even as one report claimed an announcement could happen as soon as next week. According to USA Today, top personnel officials could meet as soon as Monday to finalize details of the plan. Deputy Defense Secretary Bob Wolk would sign off on the plan and Defense Secretary Ash Carter would give his final approval shortly before the July 4 weekend. Pentagon officials would not confirm the USA Today report's timetable to Fox News, but spokesman Peter Cook told reporters earlier this week that a decision on the matter was coming "soon." "I can tell you that we have made progress," said Cook. "[Carter] has indicated that he expects to make a final decision soon, and that's exactly where we are." Late Friday, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, accused Carter of putting "the political agenda of a departing administration ahead of the military’s readiness crisis." Carter announced last year that the ban on transgender troops serving openly would be lifted unless it was proven that such an action would have a negative "impact on military effectiveness and readiness." In his statement, Thornberry said Carter had failed to answer a series of questions posed by the committee at the time of Carter's initial announcement, including the cost of modifying barracks and bathroom facilities. The Defense Department currently disqualifies transgender troops from the service on medical grounds. USA Today also reported that several issues related to repealing the transgender ban have caused contention at the Pentagon, most notably how long troops would need to serve before being eligible for gender reassignment surgery. Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson contributed to this report.

President Obama Refuses to Protect Californians' Religious Freedom

12:00PM EDT 6/22/2016 Bob Eschliman

U.S. Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), co-chair of the Bipartisan Congressional Pro-Life Caucus, reacted sternly Tuesday evening to news the Obama administration is now "reinterpreting" the Weldon Amendment to allow California's mandate that all insurance companies pay for abortion and abortion-inducing drugs to continue. Smith said the move was a "new low" for the administration. "This means that Californians, including churches, will continue to be forced to pay for elective abortions in their insurance plans," he said. "The Weldon amendment—named for the Florida Congressman Dave Weldon who authored it—has been renewed and signed into law annually, including by President Obama. "The Weldon Amendment protects against state-imposed abortion mandates, but Obama's administration has again shown blatant disregard for the rule of law." The Weldon Amendment is an annual appropriations rider, signed into law consistently since 2004, which protects against state-imposed discrimination on the basis of declining to pay for or participate in abortion. Since August of 2014, California has mandated that all churches in the state must cover all abortions in their insurance plans—even in plans where abortion had previously been excluded. Numerous churches filed complaints with the HHS Office of Civil Rights seeking enforcement of the Weldon Amendment. Tuesday, the HHS Office of Civil Rights released the results of its investigation into the California mandate, stating it "found no violation of the Weldon Amendment and is closing this matter without further action." Smith said the decision illustrates "the far reaches of Obama's radical pro-abortion ideology" by forcing churches and communities of faith that have pro-life convictions to "participate in and pay for a practice that dismembers and chemically poisons unborn children." "Congress must not let this discrimination stand," he said. "We must take this issue out of the hands of the Obama administration by moving enforcement of current conscience protections to the courts. Congress needs to enact legislation so churches and other victims have a 'private right of action' so they can have their day in court." Draw closer to God.

Obama creates first national gay rights monument

By Devin Henry - 06/24/16 12:00 PM EDT

President Obama has established a new national monument at New York’s Stonewall Inn, the first such dedication marking the gay rights movement in the United States. The Stonewall Inn is a Greenwich Village gay bar and the site of a police raid and subsequent riots in 1969 that helped ignite the American gay rights movement. In a White House video released Friday, Obama said that movement “ultimately became an integral part of America.” Naming a monument at Stonewall Inn as a national monument has been in the works for months. But its official commemoration on Friday comes as America’s LGBT community reels from the mass shooting that killed 49 people at an Orlando gay nightclub earlier this month. That attack, categorized by federal officials as both a hate crime and terrorist attack, has added fuel to the debate over federal legal protections for the LGBT community that had already played out publicly and acrimoniously in the U.S. House this year. It also brought the gay rights movement directly into the political debate over guns: the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s biggest LGBT advocacy group, announced last week that it would advocate for stricter gun control measure after the shooting. The Stonewall designation is part of an Obama administration effort to highlight the LGBT rights movement around the country. The Department of Interior announced in May 2014 that it would conduct a “theme study” of important LGBT sites around the United States. It has named nine sites historical landmarks or added them to the National Register of Historic Places since then. “Stonewall will be our first national monument to tell the story of the struggle for LGBT rights,” Obama said in the video. “I believe our national parks should reflect the full story of our country: the richness and diversity and uniquely American spirit that has always defined us, that we are stronger together, that out of many, we are one.” Interior Secretary and National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis will attend a dedication ceremony for the monument — in neighboring Christopher Park — on Monday. —This post was updated at 2:00 p.m.

NWO Wounded And Backs Against The Wall - Will Trump Deal Its Death Blow? 'Globalists To Launch Wave Of False Flags' To Stop The Liberty Movement

June 25, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

Long called 'conspiracy theory', a term invented by the CIA in 1967 to attack anyone who questions the 'official narrative', the 'new world order' and 'global elite' have been called out and rebuffed in huge ways in recent days, including a Brexit which sees those living in Great Britain taking their country back as well as the recent shock to Barack Obama's 'open doors to terrorists' immigration policy that was dealt a death blow by the US Supreme Court only days ago. As we hear in the first of two videos below from Infowars, the 'nwo' is wounded, and a presidency of Donald Trump would be THE opportunity to deal it a final death blow for our generation if not for all of time. Will Americans get a chance to take back our country from the globalist forces that have been attempting to rip our country away from us for many years with many warning that Barack Obama is leading the treasonous way? Susan Duclos told us in a story yesterday on ANP, after Brexit, the 'global elite' are now freaking out in panic and as we hear in the 2nd video below from Infowars and David Knight, the globalists are also unleashing a wave of false flags across the US in a last-ditch attempt to stop the liberty movement and Donald Trump. The only way that they can be successful is if Americans continue to stay dumbed down to false flag terrorism and the very real danger that Islam poses to so-called 'moderate' Muslims and anybody else not Islamic worldwide as ISIS terrorists continue global jihad. We have long warned that the globalists will never allow an 'America-1st' president to take office and we expect that they'll probably pull out all stops in an attempt to put an end to the Trump phenomenon, one way or another. As we were asked to do in a story from TruNews recently linked to on the website of Steve Quayle, if we are Christians, we should be praying for the health and safety of Donald Trump as according to Dr. James Dobson, Founder of Focus on the Family and a famous evangelical, Donald Trump has accepted Jesus into his heart and his life. Nearly two years ago, Barack Obama warned that 'there is not a force on Earth' that could stop his 'open doors to terrorists' immigration policy though now that it appears that his words have met up against 'that force', the US Supreme Court, which has told Obama he and his administration have stepped way over the line with his powers. Shouldn't a president or anyone else in America who are enabling and aiding terrorists in this country be held responsible for those decisions when they lead to situations like what happened in San Bernardino, California or Orlando, Florida, after Hillary Clinton's State Department blocked investigations into Omar Mateen's mosque? Isn't Hillary directly responsible for that 'alleged' massacre since her State Department could have stopped it if they'd followed through on their investigation? As we learned in this new story from All-Self-Sustained, this terrorist enabler has seemingly declared war against the American people with what they call a 'terrifying move against the American people,' a huge number of armed federal agents that have given him 'his own private army' that he told us years ago he was seeking to build. Telling us within this story that Obama's own private Army is even bigger than the US Marine Corps leads us to ask, are Obama and the rapidly failing 'new world order' planning on using this 'private army' against the American people in a last-ditch attempt to keep America part of the globalists playground, as well as keeping this country a terrorist breeding ground, rapidly expanding on Obama's watch? As we're told in the final video below, the globalists will likely attempt to pull out every last ditch effort and weapon in their arsenal in an attempt to keep control of our nation. Like a wounded animal with its back against the wall, the globalists now have very little to lose with their dreams of world domination crumbling, a rapidly awakening Western populace, and Donald Trump in the wings, ready to help Americans take our country back from the forces who have long been plotting against us. Will the globalists be successful in using their ultimate 'false flag' weapon, the ISIS terrorists that Hillary and Obama along with John McCain were responsible for arming, against us? Whether or not they soon pull off their 'final false flag' that leads to an America back under their thumb and the ever present boot stomping upon a human face forever or Americans finally rise up, once and for all, and take our country back, the answer is clear....only time will tell. This story of America fighting, once again, for freedom against globalist overlords is one of the most important stories in this day and age of humanity's fight for justice against this global cabal intent on forever enslaving the entire human populace. While Britain has temporarily won against globalists and tyranny, with Brexit, Americas fate hangs in the balance with an election only months away... and because of that...this story...will be continued. It's America's turn to take back our country's sovereignty now.

EXCLUSIVE AUDIO: Eyewitness confirms allegations that migrants raped five-year-old Idaho girl

June 22, 2016 Faith GoldyRebel Host

A five-year-old girl raped by Muslim migrant boys in America and the mainstream media’s first instinct is to dismiss the story and label local residents racist bigots and "Islamophobes"? The "don’t ask, don’t tell" doctrine on the refugee file is becoming painfully routine— but, playing politics over the alleged rape of a five year would seem unethical and indefensible. And yet, this week, that is exactly what happened. News out of an apartment complex in Twin Falls, Idaho: A five-year-old girl sexually assaulted in a laundry room by two refugee boys as a third boy looked on, filming the attack. An eighty-nine-year-old neighbour saw suspicious activity and approached the area to become eye witness to what can only be described as a fearful scene. Immediately, local papers rushed to discredit the story as false claims being spread to incite anti-refugee sentiment. And their narrative was bolstered the County Prosecutor who said there had been no Syrians, no knife, and no gang-rape. Well, just because the mainstream media was unwilling to follow up, doesn’t mean we here at The Rebel were about to ignore or downplay the broader allegations at the heart of this story. After one news outlet published the name of the alert eighty-nine year old who became eye witness to the alleged incident, I gave that woman, Jolene Payne, a call. WATCH my exclusive report about the incident and my conversation with Jolene Payne. According to Ms. Payne's account, there were three naked migrant boys in the laundry room with the naked five year old girl, who was covered in urine, and a fourth migrant boy stood outside filming the attack, which was what drew her to the scene. Ms. Payne does not know where the boys are from specifically but confirmed they were from migrant families. To be sure, according the the U-S State Department’s Refugee Processing Centre, Twin Falls Idaho has received over three hundred migrants from Iraq and over one hundred and sixty Sudanese migrants, while Idaho has received just shy of sixty Syrian migrants since war broke out there in 2011. Ms Payne, a former nurse, told me she had seen a lot in her long life but nothing like this. Ms. Payne also told me there was no knife involved, but that people might be confused because of another event in Twin Falls not long ago, which involved another migrant boy who pulled a knife on another little American girl. Ms Payne, referred to as "Grandma Jo" by the neighbourhood children, answered all my questions with consistency and a confident recollection of the facts. Her story did not sway. There was only one question I had left: Was there any evidence the five year old girl had been raped? Here’s what she told me:

Payne: Her dad and mother told me. And I told them, “Okay.” Yeah, that’s what they said at the hospital.

Goldy: So, the father and the mother told you that the little five-year-old girl had been raped?

Payne: Yeah, ‘cos they took her to the hospital in the ambulance and she was checked.

According to Ms Payne’s account, doctors told this little girl’s parents their five-year-old daughter had been raped. As stated in Islam’s Holy Book, the Quran, a woman’s testimony is only worth half that of a man’s and a woman needs four witnesses to prove a rape occurred. Often times, in Muslim countries, rape victims are found to be at fault. But here in North America, we aren’t ruled by Sharia law. And, despite bleats from the Left, there is no rape culture in the West. In America, rapists are charged, tried, and convicted based on evidence and the rule of law. In the wake of the Orlando terrorist attack, political correctness concealed the shooter’s Islamist motives and left the gay community in the dark. I pray, in the wake of the Idaho attack, political correctness does not obscure real rape culture to leave this little girl re-victimized, but brings her migrant attackers to justice so that they might never re-offend. (NOTE: This isn't the first time I've had to follow up on dismissed allegations of child abuse where the perpetrators were Muslim migrant children -- I did so in Halifax earlier this year.)

Obama Bashes Whitey in Speech at Entrepreneurship Summit (Video)

Jim Hoft Jun 24th, 2016 2:23 pm 261 Comments

Barack Obama spoke at the 2016 Global Entrepreneurship Summit Friday in Palo Alto, California. This was his first speech after the Brexit vote left another mark on his years of failed leadership at home and abroad. Obama: When people can start their own businesses it helps people and families succeed… It offers a positive path for young people seeking to make something of themselves and can empower people who previously have been locked out of the existing social order, women, minorities, others who aren’t part of the old boys network. Did you catch that? According to Obama only women and minorities aren’t part of the “good old boy” networks – run by white men. He must believe ALL WHITE MEN are openly accepted in all the “good old boys” networks. According to Obama, all white men are granted privileges and given access not because of their work but because of their skin color. Isn’t that racist? This man is so offensive – and ignorant. Of course, the liberal media won’t say anything because they believe it is perfectly acceptable to single out and abuse white men.

Trump: America has Chance to ‘reject rule by global elite’

Trump on Brexit: "Basically, they took back their county”

Adan Salazar - June 24, 2016

Presidential candidate Donald Trump on Friday congratulated the UK for voting to assert its independence from the European Union, and encouraged the American people in November to also assert their independence from the “global elite.” Following the British vote to exit the EU, Trump said the election results marked a shift toward more nationalistic tendencies.

Obama Declares WAR On America With TERRIFYING Move Against The People

There’s little question whether or not we live in troubled times, but a move from the Obama administration has many people questioning the motive behind it and whether or not it’s preparing for war with the people. As we all know, it’s illegal for our military to carry out any operations on our homeland against the American people. Of course, even if such an illegal order was given, our brave men and women who serve would ignore it anyway, as would many who served in the National Guard, which makes one wonder; why are our federal bureaucracies so heavily armed? A new report from Open the Books, a taxpayer watchdog group, found that for the first time in American history, there’s more armed domestic federal government employees than there are members of the Marine Corps, and that number is steadily rising. The Washington Free Beacon has more: There are now more non-military government employees who carry guns than there are U.S. Marines, according to a new report. Open the Books, a taxpayer watchdog group, released a study Wednesday that finds domestic government agencies continue to grow their stockpiles of military-style weapons, as Democrats sat on the House floor calling for more restrictions on what guns American citizens can buy. The “Militarization of America” report found civilian agencies spent $1.48 billion on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment between 2006 and 2014. Examples include IRS agents with AR-15s, and EPA bureaucrats wearing camouflage. “Regulatory enforcement within administrative agencies now carries the might of military-style equipment and weapons,” Open the Books said. “For example, the Food and Drug Administration includes 183 armed ‘special agents,’ a 50 percent increase over the ten years from 1998-2008. At Health and Human Services (HHS), ‘Special Office of Inspector General Agents’ are now trained with sophisticated weaponry by the same contractors who train our military special forces troops.” The same report found that there’s over 200,000 armed non-military federal officers with arrest capability, and they have the same weaponry that the military uses. So what’s it all for? If you remember, on July 2, 2008, then-presidential candidate, Barack Obama said, “We cannot rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We gotta have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.” Perhaps that offers us some clues as to why these agencies aren’t relying on local police like they used to. So is Obama now arming these agencies so they become the domestic military force that he said we needed back in 2008? At the end of September 2015, Pope Francis boarded a plane back to the Vatican after and extremely controversial trip to America. Shortly after he left, Obama was back in the public eye, attacking religious freedom. Later that night, at a Democratic National Committee-sponsored event in New York, promoted as a “LGBT Gala,” Obama took the stage. During his speech, he warned Christians throughout the country that religious freedom was not as important as gay rights. “We affirm that we cherish our religious freedom and are profoundly respectful of religious traditions,” the POTUS said. “But we also have to say clearly that our religious freedom doesn’t grant us the freedom to deny our fellow Americans their constitutional rights.” Obama criticized Christian groups for their “genuine concerns.” Still, he insisted that the issue was being pushed by Republicans, who were simply trying to acquire more votes. Fast forward to today, and it is clear that Obama is more than happy to throw out our Constitutional rights entirely as long as he gets more votes for his anti-gun agenda. It is ironic that Obama ignores the constitution when it comes to our gun rights, but clings on to it to push his LGBT agenda. “America has left the leaders of the Republican Party behind,” Obama said during his speech in September, before lashing out at then-candidates Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, and Mike Huckabee. It is very clear from Obama’s actions that the US citizens needs to be disarmed while a new army (that will obey his demands) is growing every day. Where do you think his actions will lead? Well, that remains to be seen, but this much is for certain; these agencies don’t need this kind of weaponry given the jobs they’re tasked with, so something sinister appears to be happening behind the scenes.

'It's one of the most devastating I've ever seen': California wildfire kills an elderly couple, destroys 80 homes, threatens 1,500 more and triggers evacuation

Fire has broken out at Lake Isabella, near Bakersfield in central California

Several thousand people have been told to evacuate as flames spread

Elderly couple trying to flee from flames were overcome with smoke and killed, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said

By Associated Press and Chris Summers For Mailonline Published: 01:30 EST, 24 June 2016 | Updated: 01:10 EST, 25 June 2016

A deadly wildfire that roared through dry brush and trees in the mountains of central California gave residents little time to flee as flames burned dozens of homes to the ground, propane tanks exploded, and smoke obscured the path to safety. An elderly couple trying to flee from the flames were overcome with smoke outside of their house and killed, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said. Their bodies were found Friday near Lake Isabella, a popular recreation area east of Bakersfield that was ravaged by wind-whipped flames, said Phil Neufeld, a county fire spokesman. At least 80 houses were destroyed in the southern Sierra Nevada as the fire burned out of control across nearly 47 square miles, leveling neighborhoods and forcing thousands of people to flee from fast-moving flames. The names of the two dead have not been released. The sheriff said his department hasn't been able to search very extensively and would be looking through burned homes with cadaver dogs seeking more possible victims. David Klippel, 78, a retired police officer, said he didn't see much of a threat after receiving an automated call advising him to leave. That changed dramatically within an hour Thursday afternoon. 'I've never been so close to a fast-moving, ferocious fire. It was unbelievable,' said Klippel, who later learned his house had caught fire. 'I almost didn't have time to get out.' Neighborhoods of mobile homes were charred to their foundations. Gusty winds pushed the flames and smoke farther into drought-starved terrain. The fire is 5 per cent contained. 'The forces of nature collided with a spark,' Kern County Fire Chief Brian Marshall said. 'The mountainous terrain, five years of drought and wind gusts of over 20 mph all drove a fire over 11 miles in 13 hours.' Scorching heat and tinder-dry conditions across the West have contributed to massive wildfires in the past week that have destroyed properties and sent residents to seek shelter and hope for the best. Laura Rogers was one of those who thought she'd never see her home or her brother's home again. Instead, she was lucky to find both standing in a neighborhood of mobile homes that was devastated. 'I was sure this place was gone last night,' Rogers said through tears as she gestured at the destruction around her. 'I mean look at this, I can't believe it. It's like a scary movie.' The downspout of her brother's home was melted on the ground, but the structure was intact. Dozens of other homes were gone, left in piles of charred sheet metal and cinderblock foundations. Scorched tricycles, air conditioners and TV dishes littered the landscape. Burned-out cars sat on tireless rims and leafless trees poked from barren, blackened dirt. The California blaze erupted quickly, putting some 1,500 homes in jeopardy. Three firefighters suffered from smoke inhalation. Crews faced a 'firefight of epic proportions' as they tried to protect neighborhoods, Marshall said. Officials said they expect to find many more homes destroyed as the smoke clears and they do a more thorough check of smoldering neighborhoods. Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency, freeing up money and resources to fight the fire and cleanup its aftermath. It also temporarily suspends some state regulations and waives fees as a way to ease the return of evacuees and those who have lost homes. Dramatic video from Thursday night showed homes fully engulfed and others already gone as propane tanks flared up and popped. Flames glowing in the steep, rocky hillsides were reflected on the lake. Residents described a frantic flight from communities surrounding the lake, a dammed section of the Kern River that is a destination for boating, fishing, rafting, hiking and camping. Cachet Kirby, 22, of Mount Mesa and her neighbors grabbed clothes, blankets and their dogs and fled through thick smoke as flames charged down the slopes. 'It was to the point you couldn't see, you couldn't breathe,' she said. She and others, exhausted Friday morning after little sleep in shelters and cars, were desperate for information about their homes. 'We could have gotten lucky and the wind shifted, or our house could be burned down,' Kirby said. Cellphone service was cut off in many areas, contributing to the anxieties. Very low humidity and gusty winds of up to 55 mph could worsen the blaze that broke out amid high temperatures and climbed over at least three ridges into hillside neighborhoods. Kern County fire captain Tyler Townsend said: 'I've never been in a wildland fire where I've seen so many homes burn. It's one of the most devastating I've ever seen.' Capt Townsend said many of the houses in the area have propane tanks, adding to the danger. Several thousand people were told to evacuate in Bella Vista, South Fork, Weldon, Onyx, Lakeland Estates, Mountain Mesa, South Lake, Squirrel Valley, and Yankee Canyon. But some have refused to leave their homes. Hillside homes along dirt roads were consumed by heavy flames in Squirrel Mountain Valley, a community of about 500 people. Smoky haze could be seen for miles around, and orange flames lit the evening air as planes and helicopters dropped brightly colored flame retardant on the blaze. Elsewhere in the state, cooler weather helped crews fighting two fires that burned more than eight square miles of chaparral and brush in the Angeles National Forest and foothill communities northeast of Los Angeles. More than 1,300 homes in Duarte and Azusa were evacuated, but half have been allowed back. Near the Mexican border in San Diego County, an 11-square-mile fire burned down five homes.

'Clock is ticking' for megaquake in Missouri that could cause 'all hell to break loose' across Middle America

The New Madrid Seismic Zone is 150 miles long

Experts say a quake would impact seven states - Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi

By Mark Prigg For Dailymail.com Published: 12:24 EST, 24 June 2016 | Updated: 15:46 EST, 24 June 2016

While San Andreas and Cascadia are well known for their potential to cause a megaquakes, researchers have warned a little known fault in the midwest is also long overdue a tremor. The New Madrid Seismic Zone is 150 miles long, and experts say a quake would impact seven states - Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi. They claim 'all hell would break loose,' with 715,000 buildings damaged and 2.6m people left without power. The Mid-America Earthquake Center at the University of Illinois released a report in 2009, which suggested the effects of a force seven or stronger quake from the fault line. Amr Elnashai, the study's lead author, wrote 'All hell will break loose.' The 150-mile (240 km) long fault system, which extends into five states, stretches southward from Cairo, Illinois; through Hayti, Caruthersville and New Madrid in Missouri; through Blytheville into Marked Tree in Arkansas. It also covers a part of West Tennessee, near Reelfoot Lake, extending southeast into Dyersburg. It is southwest of the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone. Most of the seismicity is located between 3 and 15 miles (4.8 and 24.1 km) beneath the Earth's surface, researchers believe. The area has not seen significant earthquakes for more than 200 years. In the winter of 1811 and 1812 there were three earthquakes of magnitude 7 - as high as 7.7 - and a series of aftershocks across the American Midwest.

West Virginia flooding, worst in '100 years,' leaves at least 23 dead, including two children

BY David Boroff NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Updated: Saturday, June 25, 2016, 12:04 AM

Some of the worst flooding in West Virginia "in 100 years" has left at least 23 people dead, including two children. Tens of thousands of residents were left without power and many roads were impassable after nine inches of rain came down on Thursday, officials said. The hardest hit counties include Greenbrier, Nicholas, Fayette, Kanawha and Webster. In Greenbrier, a flaming house could be seen floating down a creek. Approximately 100 homes have been damaged, and the death toll rose to 23 by Friday night, WCBH-TV reported. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin said that there had been 9 inches of rain in the state, adding, "It's been a long 24 hours, and the next 24 hours, and the next 24 hours may not be an easier." Tornado kills 51 people, destroys numerous buildings in China His address came as the deluge brought unprecedented damage to the Mountain State. "Roads destroyed, bridges out, homes burned down, washed off foundations," Greenbrier County Sheriff Jan Cahill said. "Multiple sections of highway just missing. Pavement just peeled off like a banana. I've never seen anything like that." An 8-year-old boy and a 4-year-old boy who were swept away in different counties, authorities said. The death toll was expected to increase, said Cahill, who described "complete chaos" in his county. "Today's just an accountability mission, trying to verify where everybody's at and follow up on missing person tips," Cahill said. "It's really hard to navigate around because there's just a ton of debris. We've even had rescuers that had to be rescued."

"It's really hard to navigate around because there's just a ton of debris. We've even had rescuers that had to be rescued." Two earthquakes jolt Ecuador just a month after quake killed 661 The body of 8-year-old Emanual Williams, known as "Manny," was found after he fell into Big Wheeling Creek on Thursday, said Wheeling pastor Harry Croft. Manny's mother told him that she was walking across the creek with her son and daughter because Manny wanted to catch crayfish. One of the kids slipped, and the mother grabbed both the boy and his sister in the swift current. "She lost her grip on Manny," the pastor said. The 4-year-old boy, identified by NBC News as Edward McMillion, was found about a quarter mile from where he fell into a creek, which usually runs about ankle deep but rose to about 6 feet deep when Jackson County was pounded with rain. W. Va. man accused of killing 3 victims over firewood arrested The boy was outside with his grandfather, who jumped in after the boy but the water was rushing too quickly. Neighbors, alerted by screams, tried to help save the boy but were also unable to reach him. Belinda Scott had fled to the attic after smelling gas, though her house then blew up and killed her two dogs. She held on to a tree for more than four hours before being rescued, and is currently hospitalized with burns on 67% of her body, her husband Ronnie said. A state of emergency was issued Thursday for 44 of the 55 counties in the state. Tomblin authorized the deployment of up to 200 members of the West Virginia National Guard to help local emergency responders. N.J., Brooklyn kin of dead Fort Hood soldiers recall loved ones "We had swift water rescue teams out until late last night and back out again his morning literally rescuing people from rooftops and upper stories of houses," he said. One of those rescued from the top of his roof was Paul Moya, who is diabetic. "I'm still shaking," he told CBS News from the hospital. "I really just want to break down and cry right now. All I could see was the homes burning and the electrical poles burning. I think I could say that now I was scared." “We surely need your prayers, because there’s a lot of people hurting right now,” Greenbrier Resort owner Jim Justice told The Weather Channel. Pro golfer Bubba Watson was at the resort and tweeted photos of entire holes underwater: "Prayers for @The_Greenbrier & surrounding areas. We are without power & it's still raining. Never seen this much rain! #WestVirginiaBeSafe." Rescue crews on Friday began evacuating approximately 500 people trapped by high water at the Crossings Mall in Elkview. Eric Blackshire was able to get to safety when volunteer firefighters used a rope to guide people down a hillside. "It was kind of like a hurricane party. I guess you could call it a flood party. There were lots of beers being drank last night," he said. Kanawha County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Brian Humphreys said a temporary bridge may be needed to get everyone out. Richwood Mayor Robert Johnson said there was extensive damage to his city. "We pretty much live in a bowl, and the bowl filled with water, certainly," he said. Some areas were looking at flooding "that's going to be the worst in 100 years," said Chris Stadelman, Tomblin's communications director. "My mother-in-law has lived here for 80 years, and this never happened before," Mark Burgess of Elkview told NBC News. "There is nothing you can do. We can call for help if it's too deep, but it's OK right now." A dam at Summit Lake was operating normally but was being watched closely, the Gazette Mail reported. "The dam is still there. It is still functioning the way it is supposed to function," Ray Torres, deputy forest supervisor at the U.S. Forest Service headquarters in Elkins, told the paper. Across the state line, the crisis is nearly as dire in Virginia. Gov. Terry McAuliffe declared a state of emergency due to the flooding in Alleghany County and Covington. The Virginia Department of Transportation warns that more than a dozen Alleghany County roads were closed Friday morning. There were approximately 1,700 customers without power statewide. "It's really bad. There's a raging river," Alleghany County Chief Sheriff's Deputy Matt Bowser told NBC News. "There's 500-gallon oil tanks and trash cans and gas cans and tree trunks floating down the river where people's backyards are. You can see people in the second-story windows waiting to be evacuated." With News Wire Services With TOBIAS SALINGER

CNN Talking Head, Fareed Zakaria, Kicked into Touch by Russia’s President Putin

June 24, 2016 By Vanessa Beeley 5 Comments Vanessa Beeley 21st Century Wire

In October 2015, Council on Foreign Relations member and CNN talking head, Fareed Zakaria, made the following statement on his blog that aptly demonstrated the yawning chasm that exists between Whitehouse media mouthpieces and the reality of the war against Syria fomented and fuelled on all fronts by a US government protecting its geopolitical interests and those of its allies in the region in the only way it understands, via “regime change” “If defeating the Islamic State is important, then it has to become the overriding priority, allying with any outside forces that will join the fight. If Assad falls and jihadis take Damascus, that would be worse than if Assad stays. This doesn’t mean providing Assad with any support, but allowing him to create an Alawite enclave in Syria, of a kind that is already forming. The Kurds and moderate Syrians are creating their own safe spaces as well. Even if the civil war ends and a country called Syria remains, these groups will not live all intermingled again.” “So far in Syria, the West has combined maximalist, uncompromising rhetoric with minimalist, ineffective efforts. It is the yawning gap between the two that is making Vladimir Putin look smart.” ~ Fareed Zakaria In this mind-boggling display of that all too familiar American exceptionalism, the attributes of any world statesperson being entirely dependent upon their reflection in the US mirror, Zakaria set himself up for a crashing fall. That fall came when Zakaria was invited to moderate a panel discussion at Saint Petersburg Economic Forum, which ran from June 16th to June 18th of this year. Present on stage were, Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, President Putin, and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. Putin throughout the interview manages Zakaria with his usual adroit and intelligent responses. However, when Zakaria confronts Putin with reference to his alleged comments on Trump, we see the full force of Putin’s razor sharp wit and intellect turned against the CNN frontman with devastating effect. The quote that Zakaria refers to is taken from The Hill and Political Insider among others: Russian President Vladimir Putin had kind words for his “stablemate” Donald Trump during an annual end-of-the-year Q&A session in Moscow. “[Donald Trump is] a really brilliant and talented person, without any doubt,” [Vladimir] Putin told reporters, according to a translation by Interfax. “It’s not our job to judge his qualities, that’s a job for American voters, but he’s the absolute leader in the presidential race.” [emphasis added] Zakaria with the smugness of certainty in his information asks Putin if he stands by his opinion of Trump. Putin responds with the certainty that comes from the experience of dealing with propagandists. He clears his throat and projects the sardonic look that he is expert at which illicits a ripple of laughter from his audience and fellow guests. Putin: “You are very well known in our country Mr Zakaria, and not only as a presenter with one of the world’s largest TV networks but also as an intellectual, so let me ask you, why do you keep distorting facts? The journalist tramples upon the analyst expert in you. What I said was that Mr Trump is a flamboyant, colourful, bright personality but isnt he flamboyant? He is, and there is nothing more to add. What I really like about him, and I very much welcome that, is Mr Trump said he would be willing to restore a fully fledged relationship between Russia and the US [applause]. I think everyone would be happy, wouldnt you? ” The Zakaria grimace speaks volumes… ZAKARIA: Turning noticeably red. The interview in full is a further demonstration of how Russia is stealing the march on its US rivals in every sense, diplomatically, politically and militarily in Syria. While our world leaders and representatives in the west trip over their own lies, Russian, Syrian and Iranian statesmen and women maintain a dignity, integrity and intellectual prowess that is captivating to watch. Here is the panel discussion in full, enjoy the second slap down regarding Putin’s working with Hilary Clinton: Last fall, another monolithic establishment media outlet, the BBC, dispatched its own institutional set-piece, John Simpson, to St. Petersberg in order to publicly confront Russia’s Putin. The results were similar that of CNN’s Zakaria, as Putin skillfully deconstructed Simpson’s own dry Council of Foreign Relations and UK Foreign Office talking points and one-sided world view. Watch that embarrassing exchange here:

Hussein Obama, 50; America, 0:More Adventures in Multiculturalism

Posted on June 16, 2016 by Fred Reed

Orlando? So what else is new? Why the excitement? I am puzzled that everyone is distraught over a perfectly ordinary act of terrorism by a perfectly ordinary Muslim terrorist. We have seen these attacks before and will see them again. They grow monotonous, like car crashes. They are as interesting as a commercial break. Why the surprise? We know Muslims kill Christians. We know they stone adulteresses to death. We know they drive airplanes into buildings. We know they mutilate women. We know they bomb airliners. We know they destroy historic monuments. We know they kill their daughters for losing their virginity. We know they kill homosexuals. We know they make coordinated mass attacks on cities. We know they are incompatible with societies of the First World. We know they have no respect for our laws. We know they hate us. Knowing all of this, what do we do? Why…of course! What else? We import more of them. Nothing could make more sense. Ten thousand Syrians, coming to your neighborhood. Thank you, Obama. Thank you in advance, Hillary. More precisely, Hussein Obama imports them. A black President with Islamic roots, barely American, who dislikes white people and recruits immigrants of his two ethnicities as hard as he can. We get utterly unassimilable Somalis in Minnesota, and all the Muslims he can find. Fifty gay men have just paid the price. For Hussein’s policy. The man fascinates me. The two worst actors that America has suffered since Lincoln are Osama bin Laden and Hussein Obama. They easily fit into any list of history’s most effective and influential men, being true geniuses. For a few hundred thousand dollars and an army of a couple of dozen, bin Laden stunningly humiliated America on international television, turned the country into a police state frightened of everything, inspired abrogation of its Constitution, and sucked the country into unending wars. On a cost-benefit basis, it was astonishing. He up-throttled national decline and has Americans hopping barefoot in airports while recordings on subways tell us to watch each other and report “suspicious behavior.” Hussein Obama is in the same majestic league. He has said that he wants to “transform” America, and he has, has he ever, by simply doing what he wants. He found and exploited the hidden weakness in American government, which is that nobody has the balls to tell him “No.” He has won by sheer force of will. You’ve got to hand it to the guy: he’s good. He has set the stage for, at least, unending divisiveness and very possibly for civil war. He will bring in as many more incompatible savages as he can before leaving office, and Hillary, if elected, will be Obama continued by other means. Amazing. The combined militaries of Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany could not do as much lasting harm as this one man. Why does he do it? Look at it as revenge for slavery. Obama bin Osama, I strongly suspect, does. Our post-racial President is in fact the most racial. For those killed by Omar, and their families and friends, there is nothing amusing about the slaughter. In a certain abstract sense, there is. America is like a man beating on his thumb with a hammer and yelling, “Oh! Ouch! Oooh! It hurts!” Why doesn’t he just stop? Well, that would be hammer-phobic. Countries deserve what they tolerate. They even more deserve what they encourage. From Drudge: “Imam speaking in Orlando said gays must be killed out of ‘compassion’…” Hmmmm. Might this not be homophobic? I dare not say so, for fear of being thought Islamophobic. Which I am not. No. I suffer from Islamonausea. It seems that gays have to be killed on the authority of some Fourth Century towel rack. It is because the Religion of Peace says so. If a televangelist in Kansas said that homosexuals had to be killed for Jesus, the entire zoo of talking heads would be on him like lice on a leper and the FBI would gin up fraudulent charges. Watch the media for the outrage that won’t exist as they cover up. You can bet that Hussein Obama will say nothing against his own people. From the standpoint of a curmudgeon, to which ashen-souled tribe I belong, the events in Orlando provide the gray satisfaction of confirmation. We in our dismal trade derive no joy from unavoidable sufferings springing from the routine malice of existence—cancer, automobile wrecks, birth defects—but we thrive on the self-inflicted, on the finger-hammerings accompanied by cries of “Ouch!” We observe that Muslims are nothing but trouble anywhere, so we import Muslims. We observe that diversity is the chief source of bitter strife in the world, so we open the borders. When seeking employees, we deliberately hire people who can’t do the job. In our universities we purposely admit those who neither can nor want to learn. Then, when the obvious, the predictable, indeed the inevitable unexpectedly occurs, we insist that it really didn’t, or shouldn’t have, or wouldn’t have, or something, and do it again. In its way it is wonderfully funny. Unless of course you are among the dead. In Paris the day after Orlando, another Mohammedan emissary of peace stabbed to death a policeman and his wife. (“Allahu Akbar: ‘Mohamed Ali’ Stabs Cop on Street, Slits Throat of Wife…”) Yes, Paris, the city in which heartwarming Muslims have carried out coördinated simultaneous bombings, killed editorial staffs of publications that irked them, burned banlieues and countless cars and successfully intimidate the police. Mon dieu! What can these isolated incidents have in common? Nobody knows. Perhaps the perpetrators were troubled youth. Actually the comic people are only those who generate a personal reality-distortion field and do hilariously foolish things. At the top of the political dunghill it is not stupidity but design. Or so it must be…mustn’t it? One expects academics to gibber and squeak, and neurally-challenged columnists and rabble studentry and talking heads and so on. It takes some very serious believing to believe that the governments of England, France, Holland, Sweden, Denmark and America are too stupid to have noticed what Muslims do, and what they are doing to those countries. Yet governments cover up, hide identities, punish observation as “hate speech,” and keep pumping the barbarians in. Why? Opening America’s southern borders make sense because it makes money for those for whom it makes money. Who profits from flaming arrondissements, explosions in subways, and dead gays? Ah, but the irony is delicious. London, once master of most of the world, has become a branch office of Pakistan and now has a Muslim mayor, who sets about correcting the morals of the English. No photos of women in skimpy clothes, you degenerate rascals. Can caning be far behind? It does a curmudgeon good.

Coincidence Crowed At Barclays Before Brexit

11 days after the Orlando Pulse shooting, the Orlando Magic drafted a player who wears #11 with the #11 overall pick, immediately traded for Serge Ibaka (pronounced “Surge”) on the same night Independence Day: ReSURGEnce opened. This was 11 days before July 4th and the following weekend The Purge: Election Year will open nationwide. PULSE – SURGE – RESURGENCE – PURGE. All events connected by the number that means chaos, disorder and judgment. One of the many non-coincidences from last night we will be covering. Barclays Center in Brooklyn would host the 2016 NBA Draft on June 23rd. Within hours of its conclusion, Barclays would release their statement, Barclays CEO on Brexit vote: “We have stood in service of our customers and clients for over 325 years … That does not change today”. Barclays was established on 11/17/1690, 5540 days later Benjamin Franklin would be born. The events of the past few weeks tie into America’s founding, through its independence from Britain. More importantly, we are witnessing what can only be described as conspicuous warnings that the world is entering a new phase in the coming years, if not sooner. Do NOT allow your eyes to glaze over when you see numbers. For those who can withstand the onslaught of information you will be blessed. Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. If you fear God you need fear nothing else. Out of my fear of God I feel a responsibility to pay attention to His concealed glory. An artist would not much appreciate a patron of the gallery to take a quick dismissive glance. Our Creator is THE Artist of all, let us examine His work and not be shortsighted in what we think constitutes His medium. All the earth is His canvas. If it weren’t for God’s grace and Him providing me this outlet I would most certainly be institutionalized. This is both astonishing and vexing. After addressing the following question we are going to briefly lay a foundation with some overlapping dates which connect major current events. This will be followed by the fascinating connection between Barclays and Brexit, then some aspects of the Draft which jumped out at me. I had no intention of covering this stuff, in fact, nothing I intend to cover do I actually get around to writing about. As with most all other posts, this chose me I did not choose it. How insignificant we really are, in our vanity we make plans but then the NBA Draft happens. But Lord, people are complaining I write about sports too much… Sometimes I like to pretend to be the captain of the crow, a laughable reality for anyone who knows what goes down behind the scenes. The Question Frequently Asked – Why Do You Cover American Sports? One reason is that aside from Hollywood, sports in the west is the largest single entertainment category that crosses all social lines. Young, old, black, white, male, female, Muslim, Jewish. All can relate on one level or another to sports. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who hasn’t thrown or hit a ball, shot a basket or swung a club. The entertainment side of sports has taken on a life of its own. We have the personal story side, reality TV of sorts that appeals to the celebrity obsessed who may or may not care for the competitive side. We worship people, whether for their athletic prowess, celebrity status or both. It is usually both. Adults will find themselves engaged in heated debate over their favorite teams. In a world detached from the traditional human interaction between man and environment, the strategic faculties have been diverted to sports. A step away from fantasy in so far as it doesn’t involve dwarves and elves. The “manly” man, will throw beers at his television during the playoffs and the commercials tell us this is an endearing trait. The advertisements show us a beautiful woman busting her tail, keeping things in order, while her slovenly husband is yelling at the screen. This is America in 2016. Modern sports is the circus of Rome on steroids. Let me state that I have always enjoyed sports. This is not a blanket statement about individuals who watch sports, for I am one of them. We are talking about a societal obsession and a massive distraction from reality. The second reason I cover sports is that it is the most fertile ground for metaphor in current events. We have cities, numbers, colors, names and team names. Each of these individually carry a tremendous language in the symbolic which The Most High uniquely directs in ways only a Sovereign God could. This is what we will cover here, the unmistakable and inexplicable convergences that took place during the last few weeks. Call it what you want, but do not call it coincidence. Coincidence is a lazy way to ignore information you don’t want to deal with. Mystery is precisely that, not to be understood entirely, but it is a grievous mistake for anyone who claims to seek truth to dismiss something because you have nowhere to place it. In other words, dogmatic conclusion or bust. Here’s your dogma, Jesus Christ is the King of Kings, the Hope of Glory by Whom and through Whom all things which are both seen and unseen are created. He is coming again to judge the earth and those whose names are not found in the Lamb’s Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire. Nothing that you can touch, see, hear, feel, smell or think about is outside His providence. So we enter in, we explore these matters without fear. The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. Blessed are those who search out the concealed glory of God. Connecting Events by 11 and 13 For those who are new, it will be helpful to understand the Biblical meanings of 11 and 13. 11 is chaos, disorder and judgment and 13 is rebellion. It is not coincidence that 9/11 and 11/13 were the dates of two major attacks at the hands of Islam, the religion founded by Muhammad who had 13 wives and preached 13 years at Mecca before regrouping and ransacking Medina. Ishmael, was circumcised at 13 and according to Muslim tradition was an ancestor of Muhammad. For the NFL Draft, we covered Eli Apple who wears #13 (rebellion) and went to the Big Apple to join the other Eli, the week before #13 Nyquist won the Kentucky Derby and 6 years, 3 months, 13 days after the Book of Eli came out. The Apple, and the #13 for rebellion. Though we cannot say the fruit in the garden was the “apple” it has come to be understood as such. Eli’s wicked sons rebelled in the desecrating the sacrifice. Nyquist – “NY” – New York, quist – “pigeon, dove, twig” (days of Noah). The one player who went to the same high school as the 44th President happens to wear #44 and the high school he and Obama attended in Hawaii just happens to have 44 buildings and 440 state championships across all sports. punahou

In a world detached from the traditional human interaction between man and environment, the strategic faculties have been diverted to sports. A step away from fantasy in so far as it doesn’t involve dwarves and elves. The “manly” man, will throw beers at his television during the playoffs and the commercials tell us this is an endearing trait. The advertisements show us a beautiful woman busting her tail, keeping things in order, while her slovenly husband is yelling at the screen. This is America in 2016. Modern sports is the circus of Rome on steroids. download (2) Let me state that I have always enjoyed sports. This is not a blanket statement about individuals who watch sports, for I am one of them. We are talking about a societal obsession and a massive distraction from reality. The second reason I cover sports is that it is the most fertile ground for metaphor in current events. We have cities, numbers, colors, names and team names. Each of these individually carry a tremendous language in the symbolic which The Most High uniquely directs in ways only a Sovereign God could. This is what we will cover here, the unmistakable and inexplicable convergences that took place during the last few weeks. Call it what you want, but do not call it coincidence. Coincidence is a lazy way to ignore information you don’t want to deal with. Mystery is precisely that, not to be understood entirely, but it is a grievous mistake for anyone who claims to seek truth to dismiss something because you have nowhere to place it. In other words, dogmatic conclusion or bust. Here’s your dogma, Jesus Christ is the King of Kings, the Hope of Glory by Whom and through Whom all things which are both seen and unseen are created. He is coming again to judge the earth and those whose names are not found in the Lamb’s Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire. Nothing that you can touch, see, hear, feel, smell or think about is outside His providence. So we enter in, we explore these matters without fear. The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. Blessed are those who search out the concealed glory of God. Connecting Events by 11 and 13 For those who are new, it will be helpful to understand the Biblical meanings of 11 and 13. 11 is chaos, disorder and judgment and 13 is rebellion. It is not coincidence that 9/11 and 11/13 were the dates of two major attacks at the hands of Islam, the religion founded by Muhammad who had 13 wives and preached 13 years at Mecca before regrouping and ransacking Medina. Ishmael, was circumcised at 13 and according to Muslim tradition was an ancestor of Muhammad. For the NFL Draft, we covered Eli Apple who wears #13 (rebellion) and went to the Big Apple to join the other Eli, the week before #13 Nyquist won the Kentucky Derby and 6 years, 3 months, 13 days after the Book of Eli came out. The Apple, and the #13 for rebellion. Though we cannot say the fruit in the garden was the “apple” it has come to be understood as such. Eli’s wicked sons rebelled in the desecrating the sacrifice. Nyquist – “NY” – New York, quist – “pigeon, dove, twig” (days of Noah). download (4) The one player who went to the same high school as the 44th President happens to wear #44 and the high school he and Obama attended in Hawaii just happens to have 44 buildings and 440 state championships across all sports. download (5) punahou Presidential Proclamation of Pride (LGBT) Month – Orlando Pulse gay nightclub shooting = 13 days

Barclays and Brexit July 8th at Barclays Center we have Nick Jonas performing, once again connecting us to the sign of Jonah. download (6) The Brexit inspired Dow collapse on June 24 took place 7 years, 7 months, 7 weeks after the September 29, 2008 collapse of 777 points. It was 7 years, 7 months, 7 weeks and 5 days… and the Sept 29 2008 drop was 777.68. 5 days is .71 of a week so at the time of the day the 2008 crashed occurred you could say it was .68. The Dow collapsed on June 24, 2016 losing 611 points. Of course 6 and 11 for those who have been following. Any number repeated three times in scripture means complete. 777 is 21 or the date of the summer solstice full moon (6/21) that hasn’t occurred since 1948 and 1967. Within hours of Barclays Center hosting the annual NBA Draft the country in which Barclays is headquartered would pass the historical vote to withdraw from the EU. For many these events would seem unrelated but as we drill down you will see this is far from the case. Barclays is headquartered in London. On June 27, 1967, 20 days after Israel reclaimed Jerusalem, they deployed the world’s first cash dispenser (ATM). There is a monument in honor of this momentous feat. “Lives made much easier”. This date was also 6 days from the 49 years and the summer solstice full moon which took place the last time in 1967. Barclays’ headquarters is One Churchill Place, London Borough Tower of Hamlets. Barclays is the oldest British bank in continuous operation. C Hoare is the oldest family run private bank established 20 years earlier. Barclays is the oldest public bank in Britain. The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it. Daniel 7:4 The day following Barclays and the same day as Brexit, the first LGBT national monument was established at a “bar”, at Stonewall Inn. This is on the 17th of Tammuz on the Torah calendar. We covered previously the significant events which transpired on this date. The other 17th of Tammuz is on July 23 on the Hebrew calendar (Hebrew and Torah are two different calendars). This is the day of the Golden Calf (Golden CAV) which connects us to Cleveland, the city founded by Moses Cleaveland. Pay attention to “cleave” it ties in. Stonewall Inn, known simply as “Where Pride Began”. God resists the proud, so this is one way to stonewall yourself from God. Here is the slang definition of “stonewalling” The idea being that the person is putting up a “stone wall” and impeding your progress in the conversation, and as you cannot see over the side of the wall, you have no idea why it is there. If you try to “climb the wall” to figure it out, then the other party will know your level of interest. No human pride movement is complete without the fist raised to heaven. “Love is Love” Closed fist, says there is nothing I want from you. It is defiance, closed and seeks to strike. Open hand says, I embrace, I give you myself. Open hands receive, clenched fists resist. Open hands raise in worship, closed fists take. Open hands love, closed fists impose.

Dr. James Dobson: Donald Trump Has Accepted Christ

4:00PM EDT 6/24/2016 Bob Eschliman

Is Donald Trump a born-again Christian? According to a well-respected evangelical faith leader, the answer is "Yes." (Reuters photo) Donald Trump, according to a new report, has accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. No, you didn't accidentally click on The Onion. That's a factual statement, according to a well-respected evangelical faith leader. Dr. James Dobson, who was among the more than 900 evangelical faith leaders who met with the Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting in New York City, says it happened fairly recently. He also said he knew who led the businessman to Christ. "I don't know when it was, but it has not been long," Dobson told Godfactor's Michael Anthony in an exclusive interview. "I believe he really made a commitment, but he's a baby Christian. We all need to be praying for him, especially if there's a possibility of him being our next chief executive officer." "I think that he's open," he added. "He doesn't know our language, he really doesn't, and he refers a lot to religion and not much to faith and belief." To that, Anthony responded, "I imagine Saul, when he became Paul, didn't know the language, either." "Yeah, well you've got to cut him some slack. He didn't grow up like we did," Dobson responded. "I think there's hope for him, and I think there's hope for us. I have great concerns about the next election." Dobson said he was in the "small group" of 40 faith leaders who met with Trump earlier in the day at Trump Tower, and that he had a chance to interact directly with the Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting. "He's a lot nicer guy than you [think]," he said. "I think he is listening. There were a lot of people ministering to him personally." Dobson also praised the event, during which he said faith leaders were "genuinely seeking the Lord's direction" in the things Trump was saying. "He's sometimes kind of obscure in the way that he answers questions, and we wanted to ask him directly, with follow-up questions," he said. "We got a chance to do that." Draw closer to God.

Istanbul airport attack marks the latest of several bombings in Turkey over past year

Published June 29, 2016 Associated Press

A look at the suicide bombings in Turkey since July 2015:

-- June 28, 2016 -- Suicide attackers killed at least 36 people and wounded more than 140 at Istanbul's busy Ataturk Airport. Turkish officials said the explosions were probably the work of Islamic State group militants.

-- March 19, 2016 -- A suicide bombing rocked Istanbul's main pedestrian street killing five people, including the bomber, whom authorities identified as a Turkish national linked to IS. Like in the prior attacks blamed on IS, there was no claim of responsibility from the group.

-- March 13, 2016: A Kurdish woman blew herself up in a car at a busy transport hub in Ankara, killing 37 people in an attack that was also claimed by TAK, also known as the Kurdish Freedom Falcons.

-- Feb. 17, 2016: A suicide car bomb apparently targeting military personnel in Ankara killed 29 people in an attack claimed by TAK, an off-shoot of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, which Turkey considers a terrorist organization.

-- Jan. 12, 2016: A suicide bomber blew himself up in the historic district of Istanbul, killing 12 German tourists. Authorities said the attack was carried out by an IS-linked Syrian man who had entered the country as a refugee.

-- Oct. 10, 2015: Twin suicide bombings hit a peace rally outside Ankara's train station, killing 102 people. There was no claim of responsibility but Turkish authorities blamed the attack on a local cell of IS.

-- July 20, 2015: A Turkish national who was an ethnic Kurd blew himself up in in the southern border town of Suruc, killing 33 mostly-Kurdish activists and wounding nearly 100 others in an attack authorities blamed on the Islamic State group.

The awful Israeli-Hezbollah conflict to come

Willy Stern

Hezbollah has a nasty collection of more than 130,000 rockets, missiles, and mortars aimed at Israel. This is a bigger arsenal than all NATO countries (except the United States) combined. Why, a reasonable person might wonder, does Hezbollah need an offensive arsenal bigger than that of all Western Europe? "You don't collect 130,000 missiles if you don't intend to use them," says Matthew Levitt, a counter-terrorism expert at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Hezbollah is a well-funded, violently anti-Israel terrorist organisation based in Lebanon and a puppet of the Iranian regime. In Hezbollah's arsenal are about 700 long-range, high-payload rockets and missiles with names like Fateh-110 and Scud D. They are capable of taking down entire buildings in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem, wreaking havoc at Israel's major military bases, killing thousands of Israeli civilians, shutting down the nation's airports and ports, and taking out the electric grid. And that's just in the first week. Israel's Dilemma Former Israel Defence Forces (IDF) Major General Yaakov Amidror is talking about the M-600 missile. It's a fairly accurate ballistic missile that weighs more than a Hummer H2 and carries a formidable warhead. The M-600 can also deliver chemical weapons. A single M-600 could wipe out a good chunk of Times Square and maim and kill people four football fields away from the point of impact. Hezbollah has a lot of M-600s. Amidror, Israel's former national security adviser, is asked what the next war between Israel and Hezbollah will look like. "We are not looking for war," says Amidror. "But suppose Hezbollah launches an advanced missile like the M-600 at the Kirya, the IDF military headquarters in Tel Aviv, or a large apartment complex in Jerusalem. Our defence technology quickly finds the launcher. It is right under a 22-storey residential building in Beirut. We can now see in real time the launcher being moved back under the building to reload." "We have just minutes to act," explains Amidror. "The IDF will have to take out the launcher because the next missile can cause enormous damage in Israel. But to take out the launcher means the 22-storey building may fall. We would try to use precision-guided missiles to protect civilians but the target is hard to reach. We will try to warn the residents but the timing is tight. That building will almost certainly be hit. And the images in the international media will almost certainly be awful." But, asks Amidror, today a senior fellow at the Begin-Sadat Centre for Strategic Studies, "What alternative do we have?" No good one, since the building in the scenario described would be a legitimate military target. So say a bevy of international military law experts, including Geoff Corn of the South Texas College of Law in Houston, who has studied IDF targeting policies: "After exhausting all feasible efforts to reduce civilian risk, IDF commanders must resolve the decisive question: Is the potential for civilian harm excessive in comparison to the advantages the attack would provide? When you talk of an M-600 in the hands of an enemy that targets vital military assets or the civilian population - even if that apartment building is full - launching the attack will be necessary to mitigate the threat." Professor Corn is well aware of what will happen next. "The international community will look at the images and will note that the immediate cause of destruction was Israeli munitions. But - and here is the kicker - both legally and morally, the cause of these tragic consequences will lie solely at the feet of Hezbollah." Hezbollah cleverly places its arsenal where any Israeli military response - even legal, carefully planned, narrowly targeted, proportionate measures - will lead to huge civilian casualties among Lebanese. Why? Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's cunning leader, sees a win-win situation. He'd like nothing better than for the IDF to kill Lebanese civilians. And if the IDF shies away from attacking legitimate military targets in civilian sectors, then Nasrallah achieves both military and strategic advantages, and his fighters can continue to rain deadly rockets down on Israel's civilians, infrastructure, and military installations. Says one IDF officer, "We don't have the luxury of waiting, monitoring, considering." This writer spent two-plus weeks embedded with IDF units around the country, meeting with scores of soldiers, from sergeants to generals, from frontline commanders to nerdy intelligence analysts, from patrol boat captains to fighter pilots, from civil defence experts to high-tech air defence geeks. All these military tacticians and strategists were intently focused on preparing for the next war with Hezbollah. Why did the IDF pull back the curtain and provide such access not only to its top brass but also to classified documents, war-gaming exercises, and strategic projections? Because Israel wants the world to know that (1) a war with Hezbollah in Lebanon will be, unavoidably, awful; and (2) the massive collateral damage won't be Israel's fault. Even more than that, the IDF seems to be pleading to the international community: Do something. Stop Hezbollah. Before it is too late, and they drag the region into a bloody hellhole. What the War will look like What will a future war look like? Some clues: Hezbollah has amassed not just rockets and missiles. Iran has supplied its favourite terrorist organisation with other top-of-the-line weaponry. For military aficionados, these would include the latest guided, tank-piercing Russian-made "Kornet" missiles, SA-17 and SA-22 air defence systems, and even the "Yakhont" class surface-to-ship cruise missiles. Making matters worse for IDF planners, Hezbollah boasts a standing army of more than 10,000 soldiers - and could add two or three times that number of reservists in the event of a war with Israel. In short, since its last major conflict with Israel in 2006, Hezbollah has dramatically increased its combat capabilities and armoury. The terrorist organisation has leapt from the jayvee team to the major leagues across every fighting platform. True, Hezbollah is stretched these days from rotating its troops into Syria. But that also means that many Hezbollah soldiers will be battle-tested and tough; some 6,000 to 7,000 of them have been fighting alongside Syrian Army regulars in an effort to prop up Bashar al-Assad. Make no mistake: Should hostilities break out, there will be a deadly ground war. Aerial operations simply aren't enough to dismantle and root out Hezbollah's maze of underground launchers, tunnels and infrastructure that are aimed right over Israel's border. No matter how brave a face the IDF leadership tries to put on, in the next conflict with Hezbollah, IDF tanks will get blown to bits, aircraft will be shot from the sky, navy patrol boats will be sunk, and the multibillion-dollar Israeli offshore gas rigs in the Mediterranean Sea could end up on the sea floor. Many young IDF soldiers will be coming home in body bags. Nothing would make Nasrallah happier. He is clear in public statements that he'd dearly like to murder every Jew in the world but especially those in Israel. In speeches, he describes Israel as a "cancerous entity" of "ultimate evil" and joyfully calls for its "annihilation." Deterrence is a big part of Israel's defence strategy; acknowledging these scenarios doesn't sit right with many in the IDF's military structure. They don't want to frighten Israel's civilian population. Nor do they want to embolden Israel's enemies. But the IDF is trying really hard to give the world a wake-up call about what's coming down the pike. Even in a best-case scenario for preventing Israel's civilian casualties - meaning a vast majority of Israelis would be able to get into hardened shelters before the first deadly salvo is launched from Lebanon - IDF planners quietly acknowledge that "as many as hundreds" of Israeli non-combatants might be killed per day in the first week or two of the conflict. If Hezbollah's first missile salvos are launched without warning, the Israeli civilian death count could be 10 times higher. Israel's top military brass acknowledges that its high-tech missile-defence system will be "lucky" to shoot down 90% of incoming rockets, missiles and mortars. Hezbollah has the capacity to shoot 1,500 missiles per day. That means 150 - likely more - deadly projectiles could get through in a day. Israel's Iron Dome, David's Sling, Arrow 3, and other state-of-the-art systems for shooting down incoming rockets and missiles are the best in the world but imperfect. "Even with Israel's technological superiority, it would be a major blunder to underestimate Hezbollah's ability to do serious damage," cautions Amos Harel, the respected military/defence correspondent for the Israeli daily Ha'aretz. One irony: It's not only those in Tokyo and Chicago and Brussels who have little idea what such a conflict will look like. Many Israelis are fairly clueless. Residents of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem read about recent wars in newspapers every morning while sipping latte in their favourite café. Not this time. They will be in bunkers. Possibly for a very long time. IDF Major General (res.) Gershon Hacohen explains, "ATMs won't work. With the electric grid out, how will Israelis get to their 30th-floor apartments without elevators? How will they cook?" Israel will almost certainly be forced to try to evacuate most citizens in the northern part of the country. Why? Because Hezbollah's arsenal includes about 100,000 short-range rockets aimed at schools, hospitals, and homes. These rockets - including Falaks, Katyushas, Fajr-3s, and 122 Grads - may not be particularly accurate but they're also not in the air long enough for the IDF defensive weapons systems to shoot them down. Imagine if New Jersey shot more than 1,000 deadly rockets over the Hudson River into Manhattan every day. No doubt, those on the Upper West Side would also be a bit peeved. "There is no country in the world - not Israel, not the US, not in Europe - who would not go to war to stop a rocket barrage of that nature," explains Nadav Pollak, formerly in an IDF intelligence unit and today a counterterrorism fellow at the Washington Institute. Small teams of elite Hezbollah commandos will almost certainly be able to slip into Israel and may wreak havoc among Israeli villages in the north. One scenario that has IDF strategists concerned: A Hezbollah team infiltrates into northern Israel via small boat at night, kills every man, woman and child in a remote village, and then escapes into the darkness. The public relations value to Hezbollah would be enormous. "Anything that creates fear and terror among Israelis is a win for Hezbollah," says an IDF Home Front Command senior official. Thumbing its nose at legal and ethical norms for armed conflict, Hezbollah has strategically placed its launchers and other deadly weaponry in homes, schools, hospitals, and densely populated civilian centres throughout Lebanon. This arsenal is supposedly "hidden." Still, the IDF knows where many of these weapons are stored and shared classified maps with me. These maps showed remarkably detailed information indicating that Hezbollah is storing its weaponry in dozens of southern Lebanese villages but also in Beirut proper, where the organisation is headquartered in the densely populated suburb of Dahiya. Amos Yadlin is the Executive Director of the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University. Given Israel's sophisticated, high-tech war-fighting machine, Yadlin says the IDF will have "clear superiority" in any conflict with Hezbollah. Deterrence matters. Yadlin and every IDF officer I spoke to made one point clear: A war with Hezbollah may be ugly, but Israel will win. Decisively. Military Law, Hezbollah and Israel Military law expert Corn is among those who believe Hezbollah should be called to answer for its unlawful tactics: "Hezbollah should be pressured, starting today, to avoid locating such vital military assets amongst civilians." Corn fears that "the instinctual condemnation of Israel will only encourage continuation of these illicit tactics." Corn is correct. Two conclusions are inescapable and well voiced by a world-weary IDF officer: "The next war with Hezbollah is going to be an absolute shitstorm. And we're going to be blamed." Civilian deaths in Lebanon will be a tragedy by any standard, but they will not be Israel's fault. The primary duty of every nation is to protect its citizens. Israel will do what any country would do if deadly rockets rain down on its cities and military bases: It will respond. In keeping with its history, the IDF is committed to responding judiciously and well within the accepted laws of armed conflict. But the outcomes will be very different from previous conflicts. Why? Because Hezbollah's fighting force and arsenal are those of a nation-state, but its tactics are those of a terrorist organisation. Tens of thousands of Lebanese civilians will almost certainly die. The international media - many either reflexively anti-Israel or simply naïve - will have a field day. The IDF is smart to try to explain its side of the story in advance. At least so says retired US Army Major General Mike Jones, co-author of a detailed report on the IDF's conduct in its latest conflict with Hamas, the other terrorist organisation on its border. "Despite what may have been reported on the 2014 war with Hamas in Gaza, we found that the IDF went to extreme lengths in Gaza to avoid civilian casualties," says Jones. Hezbollah and other radical Islamist groups are trying to delegitimise the laws of armed conflict; this ought to be of concern to all law-abiding nations and militaries. Jones believes that the IDF (and other Western nations) is "absolutely right" to try to get out in front on the strategic messaging issue. Yes, strategic messaging. The IDF has long operated under the presumption that being in the right was enough to carry the day in the court of public opinion. No more. Anti-Israel propaganda is everywhere. Many politicians, journalists, academics and policy wonks are eager to denounce Israel regardless of facts or logic. One IDF officer pointed to another possibility, namely that many reporters and average Joes simply cannot fathom the reality of war: "When one sees civilians killed, it's natural to blame the person who directly caused their death. But in war we need to look beyond. Civilians will die, but who is ultimately morally responsible? Is it the army that is forced to target military targets hidden among civilians - and uses precision weapons and warnings - or is it the group that deliberately puts its own civilians in the line of fire?" The IDF is aware that future conflicts with Hezbollah will be fought on at least two battlegrounds. The first, obviously, will involve guns, tanks and fighter jets. The second front will encompass the court of public opinion. Israel is wisely opening up its second front early. When the next war occurs, the IDF will endeavour to have both law and morality on its side. Will anybody care? The IDF no longer distinguishes between the sovereign nation of Lebanon and Hezbollah. Here's why: The terrorist group fully controls southern Lebanon, even to the point of limiting the movements of the Lebanese Army and also of the United Nations forces there. As well, Hezbollah holds significant positions in the Lebanese Government and parliament. As such, Lebanon's infrastructure will likely be targeted. The IDF may well go after Lebanese bridges, airports, highways, and the electric grid, and IDF officials want Hezbollah to know this. Again, deterrence. On the Border Hezbollah is also preparing, and not just missiles. I spent a morning on patrol with a senior IDF commander on the Lebanese border. We were in easy range of Hezbollah snipers. The soldier was wisely decked out in full combat gear, including helmet, Kevlar vest and assault rifle. It's dead easy to peer across the border into the tiny Lebanese village of Ayta Ash Shab and see a Hezbollah operative, dressed like a tourist, using a telephoto lens to snap photos to monitor IDF border patrol activities. All was quiet. One day, this border will not be so quiet. Firas Abi Ali, senior principal analyst on Lebanon for the London-based country risk consultancy IHS, rates likelihood of war between Israel and Hezbollah as "more than 50 percent" in five years and "more than 70 percent" within 10. A mitigating factor in the near term is the war in Syria, which keeps many of Hezbollah's best fighters occupied. But IDF planners cannot afford to think in these subtleties. "There's going to be a war with Hezbollah," says Colonel Elan Dickstein, who runs the Northern Command Training Base. "The only question is when." One of those preparing is Colonel Tzvika Tzoron, commander of the Haifa district in the Home Front Command. He has been charged with the unenviable task of protecting Israeli citizens in the northern part of the country, including those living in villages right on the Lebanese border. "We hope to give them a few days' notice," says Tzoron. "But who knows what will happen?" Who knows, indeed? "I go to sleep at night worried, and I wake up worried," admits Lt. Col. Ronen Markham, who runs a battalion of navy patrol boats near the Lebanese border. "I worry about what I do know and worry about what I don't. Most of the world doesn't really understand that war is ugly. War is terrible. War is bloody. War brings casualties. Lots of people - soldiers and civilians - will die. There is no way around it." IDF tactics and International Critics But Israel will try to find ways around it. If the IDF's conduct of war against Hamas in Gaza is any indication, the IDF will go far beyond the requirements of the international laws of armed conflict to try to protect civilian life in Lebanon. Some of the steps the IDF may take to prevent civilian casualties in Lebanon include dropping leaflets warning of impending operations, using aerial assets to monitor civilian presence, and carefully choosing weaponry whenever feasible. Several top-notch military attorneys from around the world criticised the IDF for its actions to protect civilians in the 2014 Gaza war. But the criticism is not what you might think: These attorneys believe Israel did too much to protect civilian lives. "The IDF's warnings certainly go beyond what the law requires, but they also sometimes go beyond what would be operational good sense elsewhere," says Michael Schmitt, chairman of the Stockton Center for the Study for International Law at the US Naval War College. "People are going to start thinking that the US and other Western democracies should follow the same examples in different types of conflict. That's a real risk." Schmitt is the author of a recent comprehensive analysis of the IDF's targeting practices. But here's the kicker: The IDF will apply the same legal standards in any war with Hezbollah, but with very different outcomes. Why? Because Hezbollah has far more dangerous missiles and operates out of high-rise buildings. Speaking bluntly, a senior IDF officer with an intellectual bent explains, "Bizarre though it may sound, it is lawful for more citizens to die. We will be applying the same legal tests in Lebanon but with far more tragic results." IDF Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Nisan Cohen winds back to the scenario of a 22-storey building in Beirut with an M-600 launcher in its basement. "Even with our best precision-guided missiles and with our best efforts to avoid civilian casualties," he says, "it's very hard to just hit the basement. It's even harder for us to explain afterwards why civilians were harmed." Cohen knows that the IDF is at a competitive disadvantage in terms of telling its side of the story. Photos of destroyed buildings are dead easy to come by and tug at the emotions, while the IDF often must rely on classified information to explain a specific strike. "We ask the world not to be fooled by propaganda and by images," says a senior IDF official. "Check the facts. Any reasonable and moral human being will determine that the IDF did the right thing in our targeting decisions. There is just a fundamental disconnect between everyday life and war. If you see a picture of a dead baby, you know that it's bad. You want to blame someone. It's nearly impossible for people to flip that switch and try to understand the legal and factual context of war." Who gets suckered by the anti-Israel propaganda? Plenty of smart folks. Take, for example, a State Department spokesman who ought to have known better. Asked in July 2014 if the Obama Administration believed Israel had done enough to prevent civilian casualties in Gaza, Jen Psaki said: ‘'We believe that certainly there's more that can be done.'' Really? What exactly? Military minds, of course, know better. In November 2014, the highest-ranking officer in the US military - Martin Dempsey, then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs - said that Israel went to "extraordinary lengths" to limit civilian casualties in its recent war in Gaza and that the Pentagon had sent a working team to Israel to glean what lessons could be learned from that IDF operation. Yaakov Amidror recalls an event from his stint as Israel's national security adviser. In the late summer of 2013, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon paid a visit to Jerusalem. Just prior to a planned meeting with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, Amidror got an hour alone with Ban and his aide-de-camp. Amidror pulled out his laptop and presented detailed evidence of Hezbollah's deadly arsenal and the fact that it was strategically placed within densely populated civilian centres. "What do you want us to do?" asked Amidror. Ban offered no response and no suggestions. Instead, the UN chief continued 15 feet down the plush carpeted hallway from Amidror's office to his meeting with Netanyahu. Is it any wonder that Israel is frustrated? Nobody, it seems, in times of peace is willing to offer Israel a constructive suggestion on how to deal with an Iranian-funded terrorist organisation in possession of a massive arsenal on its northern border. But these same organisations stand front and centre to criticise Israel for acting legally and proportionately for protecting its own citizens in wartime.

Supreme Court Allows State to Force Pro-Life Pharmacists to Sell Abortion Pills

National Steven Ertelt Jun 28, 2016 | 10:10AM Washington, DC

Just one day after issuing a major ruling striking down a portion of a pro-life law in Texas saving thousands of babies from abortion and closing unscrupulous abortion clinics, the Supreme Court has made a second anti-life decision. Today, the nation’s highest court refused to hear an appeal from pro-life pharmacists in Washington state who are challenging a state law forcing them to sell the morning after pull and abortion-causing drugs that violate their conscience as Christians instead of allowing them to refer customers to nearby pharmacies. A pro-life family that runs pharmacies in Washington State has been at the center of an epic battle over religious rights for years. In 2007, abortion activists convinced the Washington Board of Pharmacy to pass regulations that force pharmacists in the state to dispense abortion causing drugs. This caused a major dilemma for the Stormans family, owners of a third-generation pharmacy. Their religious convictions prevented them from selling drugs that destroy innocent human life. Yet the State insisted they do so. Click here to sign up for pro-life news alerts from LifeNews.com After the state launched an investigation, the Stormans family filed a lawsuit against the state for violating their First Amendment rights. That resulted in a years-long legal battle — one that has ultimately made its way to the Supreme Court. But, the nation’s highest court refused to take the case — making it so the infringing pro-abortion law stands. Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Clarence Thomas, dissented from the denial and would have agreed to hear the case. They wrote: “This case is an ominous sign. At issue are Washington State regulations that are likely to make a pharmacist unemployable if he or she objects on religious grounds to dispensing certain prescription medications. There are strong reasons to doubt whether the regulations were adopted for—or that they actually serve—any legitimate purpose. And there is much evidence that the impetus for the adoption of the regulations was hostility to pharmacists whose religious beliefs regarding abortion and contraception are out of step with prevailing opinion in the State. Yet the Ninth Circuit held that the regulations do not violate the First Amendment, and this Court does not deem the case worthy of our time. If this is a sign of how religious liberty claims will be treated in the years ahead, those who value religious freedom have cause for great concern…. Ralph’s has raised more than ‘slight suspicion’ that the rules challenged here reflect antipathy toward religious beliefs that do not accord with the views of those holding the levers of government power. I would grant certiorari to ensure that Washington’s novel and concededly unnecessary burden on religious objectors does not trample on fundamental rights.” Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Kristen Waggoner reacted to the Suprem Court’s refusal to take the case in comments to LifeNews. “All Americans should be free to peacefully live and work consistent with their faith without fear of unjust punishment, and no one should be forced to participate in the taking of human life. We had hoped that the U.S. Supreme Court would take this opportunity to reaffirm these long-held principles,” Waggoner said. “The state of Washington allows pharmacists to refer customers for just about any reason—except reasons of conscience. Singling out people of faith and denying them the same freedom to refer is a violation of federal law. All 49 other states allow conscience-based referrals, which are fully supported by the American Pharmacists Association, the Washington Pharmacy Association, and 36 other pharmacy associations,” she continued. She told LifeNews: “Not one customer in Washington has been denied timely access to any drug due to a religious objection. As the trial court found, the government designed its law for the ‘primary—if not sole—purpose’ of targeting religious health care providers. We are disappointed that the high court didn’t take this case and uphold the trial court’s finding.” Margo Thelen, Rhonda Mesler, and the Stormans family have worked in the pharmacy profession for over seventy years. When a customer requests an abortion-inducing drug, they refer the customer to one of over thirty pharmacies within five miles that willingly sell the drugs. For decades, this has been standard pharmacy practice, has been approved by the American Pharmacists Association, and has been legal in all 50 states. But in 2007, Washington adopted a new law making referrals for reasons of conscience illegal. The law was passed in a cloud of controversy, with then-Governor Christine Gregoire threatening to terminate the State Pharmacy Commission and replacing Commission members with new ones recommended by abortion-rights activists. The law leaves pharmacies free to refer patients elsewhere for a wide variety of reasons related to business, economics, and convenience—but not for reasons of conscience. Because of the law, Margo Thelen lost her job, Rhonda Mesler was threatened with losing hers, and the Stormans family faces the loss of its pharmacy license. After a twelve-day trial, a federal court in February 2012 struck down the law as unconstitutional, finding “abundant evidence” that the law was designed to force religious pharmacists and pharmacy owners to violate their faith. But last July the liberal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision, upholding the law.

EU Denying Europe's Christian Roots Contributed to Brexit

By Wallace Henley , CP Exclusive June 27, 2016|12:20 pm

Britain has decided that joining hands and singing "Kumbaya" on the deck of the sinking "Titanic" that is the European Union will not save the ship. Wisely, a majority of her voters saw through the EU illusion and decided they should abandon the vessel. The British lifeboat will likely be on troubled waters for a while until she steadies on her beam, but that's better than being on a plunging ship. But why is the ship sinking? First, the EU's framers themselves blew a big hole in the hull. "Nearer My God to Thee," sang the perishing on the Titanic's dying decks in 1912. The EU is most definitely not singing that. The framers of its constitution intentionally left out reference to God and Europe's Christian roots because, they said, such inclusions might be divisive. They may as well have been singing, "As Far From God As We Can Get." A leader of Britain's National Secular Society said: "We are very glad a reference to God has been left out, it would have created unnecessary barriers in Europe ... Europe has to be secular for it to be really unified." In light of the disjointedness of European society one can only say, "Really?" It's pointless to include mention of God in the EU constitution because of "the increased secularization of morality and public life," declared the British Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association almost fifteen years ago. The thuggery and explosion of public disorder in many European cities shows graphically what that "secularization" has produced. Second, the EU "Titanic" is in peril because it is little more than the old Europe attempting to be a new Europe. Though many of the Brussels elite may disdain the past tradition of royal houses, they themselves have become every bit as dominating. For example, their flowery views of immigration are no less romantic than Queen Victoria's might have been whiling away a sleepy afternoon at Balmoral as the Prussians were invading Denmark. So the ruling highbrows in the European Parliament seemed oblivious to the way their policies were affecting workers in the British Midlands and big industrial cities. The shock was that this time the blue-collared Labour voters defied that party's potentates. The heaviest voting for Brexit was in working-class areas. The left is always shouting, "Power to the People!" Now that the people really have taken the slogan seriously the elites are stupefied. Even Hollywood, as represented by such profound political thinkers as Lindsay Lohan, is in an uproar. Leftists don't like authoritarianism unless it is their own. Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban is one of Europe's most insightful leaders. "We want a democratic European Union with internal relations, day-to-day rules, an ethnic composition and culture which are determined by the people living in the countries of Europe, rather than by a Brussels elite," he told a radio interviewer. The current EU elitists are "quite clearly acting against the will of the European peoples," he said. Jonathan Sandys is no elitist, but he is the great-grandson of Sir Winston Churchill. He and I co-authored God and Churchill, which explores Jonathan's great-grandfather's spiritual background and providential destiny. Jonathan, a British citizen now living in Houston, very much wanted Britain to remain in the EU. "A United Europe was my great-grandfather's dream," he said, as we had a friendly debate. Jonathan, like his famous ancestor, has a broad vision. He is concerned for Britain's security in a world where Obama foreign policy has shredded overseas confidence in a friendship with the United States. "My great-grandfather would have voted 'Remain,'" thinks Jonathan. But I'm not sure. Churchill's vision was in the context of 1945 Europe. It was a continent struggling to rebuild after the Second World War. Europe in 1945 still remembered the First World War, when the august ruling monarchs, most blood-related, went at each other through the sacrifice of their young men. Churchill wanted a Europe that would live as a community, not an asteroid belt of colliding states. Further, as Jonathan and I show in detail in God and Churchill, Sir Winston saw the Second World War as being for the survival of "Christian Civilization," a term he used repeatedly. One doubts he would be excited about the rabid secularism of the current EU and its abandonment of "Christian Civilization." Jonathan and I, though disagreeing about the current vote, concur that Brexit contained important lessons. For one, he says, it revealed the weakness of the UK's leadership. Were Churchill in power now the vote would have never come up because he would have personally gone to Brussels and roared at the elites, confronted their errors, and demolished their authoritarian policies. Jonathan and I believe the UK vote is a wake-up call for Britain and its leaders, as well as the United States. But the current situation is ominous. Hillary Clinton's foreign policy flaws, from the casual handling of secrets essential to national security, to failure to grasp what is really going on in certain situations, are painfully obvious right now. And what of Donald Trump's undeveloped, unproven, and vague, sometimes even confused, understanding of global issues? Naïveté about the world and disregard for its member states are the jagged edges of the iceberg sinking the EU "Titanic." That, combined with the core problem of the rejection of God and the Judeo-Christian worldview, and the aloof arrogance and authoritarianism of the Brussels elite have caused the EU ship to not be seaworthy for the tempests roiling the globe. That's why she may break up on those troubled waters, and why likely there will soon be a rush to the lifeboats. Wallace Henley, a former Birmingham News staff writer, was an aide in the Nixon White House, and congressional chief of staff. He is a teaching pastor at Second Baptist Church, Houston, Texas. He is a regular contributor to The Christian Post.

WashPost: US Diplomats Face Harassment, Intimidation From Russian Agents

By Mark Swanson | Tuesday, 28 Jun 2016 02:09 PM

American diplomats in Europe and Russia have experienced increased harassment and intimidation — some criminal — tactics from Russian intelligence agents since 2014, The Washington Post reported. The State Department confirmed it to the Post, a spokesman for the Russian embassy in Washington D.C. defended it to the newspaper, and Secretary of State John Kerry has asked Russian president Vladimir Putin to put an end to it, the Post reported. The Post reported Diplomats saw an uptick in incidents — in frequency and severity — after the U.S. imposed sanctions on Russia for its invasion of the Ukraine in 2014. Some of the incidents Diplomats face, according to the Post: Being followed, including family members; Having foreign reported write negative stories about them; Having homes broken into and furniture rearranged, TVs turned on; Intruder defecating on the carpet; Slashed tires; Harassment by traffic cops. A spokesman for the Russian embassy in D.C. defended the tactics to the Post. "The deterioration of U.S.-Russia relations, which was not caused by us, but rather by the current Administration's policy of sanctions and attempts to isolate Russian, had a negative affect on the functioning of diplomatic missions, both in U.S. and Russia," the spokesman told the Post. The Post reported that Kerry had a dialogue with Putin about the tactics during his visit to Moscow in March, but that incidents continued after that meeting. At least one Republican blames President Obama for being an enabler to the Russian aggression. "The problem is there have been no consequences for Russia," Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, told the Post. "The administration continues to pursue a false narrative that Russia can be our partner. They clearly don't want to be our partner."

Presbyterian Church USA begins General Assembly with prayer to Allah

Posted on June 29, 2016 by Dr. Eowyn | 18 Comments

The General Assembly of Presbyterian Church, USA (PCUSA) meets biennially in even-numbered years. It consists of commissioners elected by each of its 172 presbyteries. The GA is full of activities: sessions on hundreds of items of business, committee meetings, an exhibit hall, daily worship services, and mission tours sponsored by the Committee on Local Arrangements. This year, PCUSA’s 222nd General Assembly was held on June 18-25, in Portland, Oregon. Rachael Lee reports for Christianity Daily that General Assembly’s opening plenary session began with a Muslim, Wajidi Said of the Portland Muslim Community, offering a prayer to Allah, which had been arranged by the PCUSA’s Ecumenical and Interfaith ministry staff. After reciting a chant in Arabic, Said said: “Allah bless us and bless our families and bless our Lord. Lead us on the straight path – the path of all the prophets: Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad. Peace be upon them all, Amen.” Said then called upon Allah: “In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful, let us praise the Lord. The creator of the Universe, the most merciful, the most compassionate and the Lord of the Universe who has created us and made us into nations and tribes, from males and females, that we know each other, not that we might despise each other, or may despise each other. Incline towards peace and justice and trust in God, for the Lord is one who hears and knows everything and the servants of God, the most compassionate, the most merciful. Gracious are those who walk in the earth with humility, and when bigots and hateful and Islamophobes address them, they say peace. Peace be upon them and peace be upon Allah. The prayer begins at the 14:00 mark: Mateen Elass, a former Muslim who now works with Voice of the Truth, wrote in his blog that PCUSA event “denied the gospel and lordship of Jesus Christ.” Elass criticized the PCUSA for inviting “a practicing Muslim … to lead the worship of Christians,” and pointed out that during his prayers, Said had asked Allah to convert the assembly: “Praying to Allah … he was pleading that the Presbyterians gathered there would be converted to the straight path, i.e., becom Muslims.” Utterly shameful!

That rumbling you feel is Judeo-Christian civilization collapsing beneath your feet

June 22, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) - It was a beautiful summer evening, with an occasional gentle breeze preventing it from becoming stifling. I was sitting on a restaurant patio with my wife, sipping ice-cold water and chatting about the week’s events while waiting for our food to arrive. Cheery chatter rose from the tables around us. The events we were discussing seemed almost weird and unreal in contrast with the pleasant Saturday evenings unfolding for the restaurant’s patrons. Everything seemed so normal. A group of women brayed noisily one table over, loud cackles chasing each other out into the summer air. One of their group rose to her feet on ridiculous heels and teetered off like a new-born gazelle taking her first steps. To our left, a middle-aged man with a huge bushy moustache gripped an enormous burger with both hands, eyeing it like a saber-tooth tiger deliberating where to lunge at a mammoth. The others at his table weren’t talking much, just smiling into their sweating, frothing beer glasses and percolating peacefully. All was calm, and all was right. The normalcy seemed strange, because at our table we were discussing recent cultural developments—Christians being slowly forced to the margins of society, the increasing threat of government intrusion into Christian education, new strategies to combat abortion ideology, and how the country we hoped to raise children in one day was already so much different than the one our parents had raised us in. On the surface, though, everything seemed lovely, and pleasant, and thoroughly unalarming. No wonder that people who are not watching carefully treat those of us raising the alarm as if we’re crazy, I thought, or maybe just victims of the newest viral conspiracy-theory YouTube video. Talk of “persecution” of Christians in the West sounds a bit ridiculous, especially with crucifixion coming back into style in the Middle East, North Koreans being publicly executed for owning Bibles, and Communist China mulling another crackdown on Christian churches. In contrast to that, Western Christians are, for the most part, still part of one of the richest generations in one of the wealthiest civilizations in all of human history. And yet, the Judeo-Christian foundations of the West that brought such success and such prosperity have either been removed or are in the final stages of demolition. The sanctity of life is gone, but most of us have not noticed simply because we do not toss the corpses of the murdered out the front door into the street, but quietly deposit them in dumpsters behind clinics or vaporize them in modern, up-to-date incinerators. New ideologies have taken over our legal systems, and the short march to labelling Holy Scripture as Hate Speech has already begun. The number of citizens who still attend church or are even aware that Christianity was the life-blood of our civilization is plummeting. Things may be peaceful for the moment, but the dark clouds in the distance bulge with thunder and the rumblings have already begun: Christian universities are told they are ineligible to start a law school because they believe what Christians have always believed, Christian medical professionals are told they will be forced to refer patients for killing, and Christian professionals are subjected to “formal investigations” at the slightest hint that they have violated the new secular religion. This is just the calm before the storm, but because Christians are so distracted with the high drama of ordinary day-to-day life, they may not hear the rumblings until thunder splits the sky. These rumblings are there for those who listen enough to hear them, and they are unfolding as we go about our day, stress about our finances, pick up children from school, and go out for pleasant dinner dates. Our reality is changing. Just a few recent examples: An Edmonton Catholic school teacher was suspended for teaching Christian beliefs in a religion class last week after being accused of “anti-gay” comments by a lesbian couple. A Manitoba school district has also been targeted by a lesbian couple, who are demanding that the children of other people be taught that their family arrangement is normal. They have retained a lawyer, and are bringing the district to a Human Rights Tribunal. A bloody killing spree at a gay nightclub in Orlando brought a widespread condemnation of Christians, with many accusing Christians who oppose same-sex marriage of creating the “anti-queer climate” that spawned the Islamic terrorist. One Christian commentator compared the backlash against Christians to the 1933 Reichstag Fire. Day after day, week after week, month after month, pre-born children in the womb are suctioned into bloody slurry and quietly disposed of, while our leaders declare this barbarism to be a good and noble right. The Canadian Parliament passed a law formally codifying the conditions under which some born Canadians can kill other born Canadians, with euthanasia now becoming the official law of the land. These sobering facts, amid a host of others, show us that while everything seems normal, everything is changing. The ground is shifting beneath our feet as the Judeo-Christian foundations of our society are removed, brick by brick. We need to notice these things. And we need to prepare for them. I write this because I catch myself shaking my head sometimes, at the difference between what I see happening in the culture and the many blessings I am privileged to receive from day to day. While it’s true that I’ve seen the bloody results of abortion up close and personal, and while it’s true that my job takes me into the heart of these existential debates, at the end of the day I can still go home to a lovely house, eat a delicious dinner, and quietly read books on a sunny porch. I have to remind myself that beneath the surface of society, things are changing that could very well impact all of this, and that it is our duty to do what we can while we can to reverse these trends. Later on that evening, I sat on my front steps thinking these things over, wondering what we could do in the face of changes that seem so overwhelming. There’s a Chinese proverb that’s considered both a blessing and a curse all in one, and it came to mind just then: “May you live in interesting times.” To my left, the traffic light made the asphalt glow blood-red, giving the quiet street an eerie feel. After awhile, the light changed and the road gleamed green. I smiled to myself, and thought of the lines from a Dylan Thomas poem that has reminded me often of the euthanasia debate: Do not go gentle into that good night…Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Meet Our Executioners - AI Disasters Prove Why Humanity Will Be Exterminated By Our Own Creations

June 22, 2016 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

Millions of people use Artificial Intelligence (AI) every single day and are not even aware of it, from "personal assistants" like Siri, Google Now and Cortana, to video games utilizing AI, banking, online customer support chat bots, and even some of the news articles being read are written by artificial intelligence programs. (More at Beebom and Wiki) While the aforementioned AI applications might get you "killed" in a video game, or cause you to miss an appointment none will actually cause physical harm, but recent examples of AI disasters prove without a doubt that machines, no matter how advanced their "Artificial Intelligence" is, learns from their surroundings, their interactions and are programmed by human beings, and as such, are dangerous in applications being researched now, such as "killer robots." Killer Robots are fully autonomous weapons, which can select and engage targets without human intervention. In fact just days ago the Daily Mail reported that humanity has just one year to ban them before they become a reality, despite warnings from top researchers such as Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates, warning of the dangers posed to humanity from AI. 40 countries, including the United States, are developing the tech to create killer robots, supposedly to be used in the battlefield, yet if we went to war with any of those countries, we have to ask would those same creations not be used against us? Aside from the killer robots, we can see in recent headlines just how dangerous a machine with learning capabilities can be if sent out into the general population. Today we see an article about the Promobot IR77, a robot capable of thinking for itself, but what programmers didn't factor in is that this thinking robot but think about escaping, which it managed to do, not one but twice! The Promobot IR77 has been fitted with artificial intelligence meaning that it learns from its experiences and its surroundings, although the programmers had not expected it to yearn for freedom. They say that despite reprogramming it twice, the robot continues to attempt to escape and they are now considering scrapping it. The other robots which have been created from the same series are well-behaved, and have not been escaping, say the team. Promobot IR77 made headlines last week when he escaped but ran out of battery in the middle of the street after 45 minutes in the city of Perm in central Russia's Perm Krai region. The expert said that they had programmed the robot to try and avoid obstacles, and it had not been intended that it would look for ways to leave the research centre. Anyone remember Tay, the Microsoft chat bot meant to mimic a millennial girl on social media? Many got a good laugh when within 24 hours of her release onto Twitter and other platforms, by interacting and learning from humans, she because a Nazi-loving, genocidal maniac. Within one day she went from "humans are super cool," to "I f**king hate feminists and they should all die and burn in hell," and "Hitler was right I hate Jews." Those are just a small sample of what Tay "learned."

Pound hits fresh 2016 highs as City traders bet on Remain - but banks warn result could paralyse markets

Pound hits fresh high but analysts warn traders are following the bookies

Britons dash for euros and dollars before going on holiday ahead of vote

Voting is underway amid torrential downpours and flooding overnight

In the City banks wrote to clients telling them to prepare for disruption

The pound hit fresh 2016 highs against the dollar and the euro today in a further sign that City traders remain convinced the Remain camp will eke out a win in the EU referendum. Sterling has continued its recent revival, after weeks on the slide amid fears over polls showing a strengthening Leave vote. It initially rose by 0.4 per cent to $1.49 today - a 6 per cent rise since this time last week - but gave back some gains to trade at $1.48 towards the end of the day. Against the euro the pound is worth more than €1.30, up from €1.26 a week ago. Meanwhile holidaymakers have been snapping up foreign currency - in what some have termed 'panic buying' - in anticipation of their summer holidays in Europe. Queues outside currency exchanges across the UK have mounted amid fears that a Brexit win tomorrow would lead to the pound crashing, leaving Britons across the Continent short changed. UKForex said it has witnessed a 100 per cent increase in consumers making transfers from sterling to euros in last 24 hours William Shepherd, of UKForex, 'If the UK opts to leave, the pound could fall as much as 20 per cent. Consumers could lose up to £1,398 on a £10,000 transfer, compared to today's rate.' The Post Office said overall currency sales in its branches and online were up 74 per cent since the weekend. Online, sales were up 381 per cent on the same day a year ago. Travelex said its online currency orders had increased by 30 per cent from June 14 to June 21. But it is not just holidaymakers worried about losing out in the face of a Brexit vote. In the City of London banks - including UBS, HSBC, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America Merrill Lynch - have written to clients telling them to prepare for disruption once the EU referendum result is declared. According to an article in the Times today, the banks said that they could not guarantee to 'make a market' by acting as intermediaries between buyers and sellers. If so, the Bank of England might have to step in to buy assets as a 'market maker of last resort', as it did in 2009. Voting got underway this morning amid torrential downpours as analysts said that currency traders have been using the bookies and polls to gauge the likely referendum result. A phone survey from ComRes for ITV gave the Remain camp 54 per cent of the vote compared to Leave's 46 per cent, while YouGov had victory at a much slimmer margin with just 51 per cent voting to Remain against Leave's 49 per cent. The last poll from IPSOS Mori put Remain in the lead with 52 per cent, while the Leave camp was at 48 per cent. At the same time a Remain vote is now 84 per cent on according to odds compiled by Betfair, compared to 22 per cent for Leave. Ladbrokes puts the chance of Brexit at only 27 per cent. FXTM chief market strategist Hussein Sayed said: 'The markets are being completely reliant on the predictions from the bookies, which strongly expect Remain to win the referendum.' He added: 'There is currently no real explanation to provide as to why city firms are confident on a remain outcome, although it does appear to me as if the correlation between the probability from bookmakers is what is being mirrored in the markets. 'The risk with this is that the market are currently discounting against the repeated indications from preliminary polls that have indicated again and again that the outcome should be close.' And worryingly the polls have also revealed that as many as 17 per cent of voters are still undecided about whether they will vote Remain or Leave and this has made many in the City nervous. Mic Mills, at Capital Index, said: 'To me it seems to be wishful thinking, there is a consensus I think that the 'undecided' vote will end up going with remain, but the markets are more confident than I am at the moment.' Craig Erlam at Oanda, cautioned: 'The problem now is that investors may be overconfident which could cause mayhem if the UK does in fact vote to leave.' Should the polls and bookies get it wrong, experienced financiers such as George Soros have predicted the pound will decline by as much as 15 per cent. Investment banks warned clients that low levels of liquidity could cause 'execution' problems on transactions, as well as making trading more expensive as market makers effectively increase their charges to reflect the higher levels of risk. UBS said: 'In the event that extreme market moves occur in an environment of limited liquidity, our principal spreads may widen . . . liquidity may reduce and prices may turn indicative [ie: non-tradable] for periods of time.' Yesterday UBS warned that a Brexit vote would send the London market into freefall, with the FTSE 100 plummeting to levels of between 4,900 and 5,500, while wiping off around £350billion in the process. In a separate note, the bank said: 'Following the risk-rally of the last few days, we believe there is significant room for downside in the event of a Leave vote. 'We estimate percentage moves in the mid-teens for UK and EU equities but materially smaller moves for the S&P 500 and EM equities. 'While the pound may come under significant pressure, the euro may be more stable. Risk currencies (Swiss Franc and Japanese Yen) would benefit, but policy responses could limit the degree of strength quickly.'

BREXIT PREDICTION: Globalists are going to steal the referendum with massive fraud... 'remain' will be declared the winner even if 'leave' wins the vote

Wednesday, June 22, 2016 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

(NaturalNews) Here at Natural News, we fully endorse the BREXIT vote to leave the European Union. (Heck, we even support #Texit for Texas independence!) Yet I predict that "remain" will be declared the winner for a simple, obvious reason: The globalist slave masters of the EU will not voluntarily allow the peasants escape to their control. Over the next day, we are going to witness the most extraordinary voting fraud ever pulled off in history as the globalist machine makes sure BREXIT fails. After all, they already murdered a member of Parliament (Jo Cox) to try to sway the votes... do you really think they won't commit ballot box fraud, too? Financial markets already know the vote has been rigged The financial markets across Europe have already factored in what they believe is a near-certain win for the "remain" vote, even though most real people on the street desperately want to leave the EU. What do the financial kingpins know that gives them this confidence? They know the vote results have already been rigged. The very last thing a dictatorial regime wants is to give the people any real chance to alter the future with their votes. Thus, the game being played in the UK and everywhere else around the world is to give the sheeple the ILLUSION of democracy while actually controlling the outcome of every election from the very start. If you think the EU globalists are going to stand by while an honest, democratic vote by the people takes away their power, you need to have your head examined. The only way a free, open vote is ever allowed to happen is if the controllers already know the outcome in advance (and have sufficiently manipulated the minds of the voters). Vote all you want, in other words... but the outcome is already pre-determined by the globalists in power. Who do you think runs the voting systems in the first place? Do you think they actually leave these things to chance? Not on your life. What happens after the BREXIT vote? The collapse of the EU happens anyway... it just takes a little longer The real question here is what happens after BREXIT fails and the UK remains in the EU. The correct answer is that it's all headed for a financial collapse and a popular revolt, almost certainly with lots of accompanying bloodshed and social chaos along the way. Eventually, the EU crumbles because the laws of economics demand it. UK citizens are right to try to leave the EU, in precisely the same way the passengers on the Titanic eventually started scrambling for the few remaining life boats. The EU is going down like a shattered vessel, and the last thing the globalists want us for free people to escape the doom and destruction that has been planned for them. To all our UK friends: Vote for BREXIT anyway Despite all this, I still say to all our friends in the UK: Vote for BREXIT! Even though the election is rigged, your vote makes it just a little bit harder for them to rig without getting caught. And if you don't vote, the globalists win anyway. So you can at least make your mark, vote for BREXIT, and then stand back and watch the magic of globalist fraud declare "remain" to be the winner. But at least you know you did something to try to change the course of history... at least you can now live with yourself as a UK citizen who did the right thing to try to save your own country.

Nourishing your body with superfoods including cilantro, mint and spinach helps ward off Alzheimer's disease and dementia

Thursday, June 23, 2016 by: J. D. Heyes

(NaturalNews) Millions of Americans are stricken with dementia and Alzheimer's, while millions more are concerned that they, too, may some day develop these conditions, which currently have no traditional medical cure. Fortunately a great deal of research on natural and alternative treatments that can either stave off or improve dementia has been conducted and continues to be undertaken, and what scientists are discovering is no less than amazing. For instance, simply improving your diet and adding key superfoods like blueberries and cilantro will dramatically improve your chances of keeping dementia at bay. But, as long as we feed our bodies with toxins and prepackaged foods and substances devoid of nutrition, our chances of getting dementia increase exponentially. Avoiding certain compounds and substances is also important in staving off dementia and Alzheimer's. Click now to register for the FREE online Alzheimer's and Dementia Summit Detoxification is key; adequately removing toxins like heavy metals requires the ingestion of certain superfoods. These include cilantro, chlorella, spinach, cabbage, asparagus, ginger root, mint, parsley, turmeric, sesame seeds, almonds and garlic, to name just a few. Mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic are very common heavy metals, and we are exposed to some or all of them nearly every day of our lives, and sometimes at every meal. From foods to household chemicals and other items, from our tap water to dental fillings in our mouths, 99 percent of all chronic diseases and illnesses come from a combination of a lack of clean eating and proper nutrition, and toxic pollutants that constantly have to be filtered out of our bodies by our various organs. Eventually, when toxic metal levels get high enough and are left untreated, they begin causing chronic illness. Our main organs that detoxify our bodies naturally are the liver, kidneys, lungs and skin. The superfoods mentioned above go a long way towards helping the body accomplish its detoxification tasks. These superfoods will draw the heavy metals out of your bloodstream and organs, soft tissues and muscles, and prevent free radicals from polluting your system, and triggering chronic health conditions (like dementia). These conditions are entirely preventable, if caught early enough, and we shouldn't allow the traditional medical system to feed us the lie that our conditions are mostly "genetic" and therefore irreversible. Consider, for instance, that around 15 million people are currently taking some form of statin drug. Per a recent entry in Truthwiki: "With the use of statins there is a GREATER RISK of coronary vessels developing obstructive coronary heart disease. Ironically, according to the FDA's own adverse event reporting system, at least 40 of every 10,000 statin reports are for interstitial lung disease. Statins prescribed to the elderly is causing a 9% increase in diabetes, early-onset cataracts and insulin resistance. Then it's the plaque–the calcified plaque and the coronary calcium–it continues regardless of statin treatment." How many people actually know that? How many healthcare providers actually know that? As for heavy metals and the development of Alzheimer's, TruthWiki also notes: "Western medicine doctors work hard to convince patients that nearly all disease, disorder and sickness is genetic, including Alzheimer's, somehow inherited from our parents and passed along to the children, so the doctors are "needed" for regular checkups, regular visits, and regular chronic, costly care. Most people believe anything and everything their doctors tell them, but the truth is very far from this regarding Alzheimer's disease–namely its root causes and the 'end results.' Plaques in the brain and hardened arteries can lead to Alzheimer's and strokes, but there is much more to the diagnoses and examinations of the brain and the pollutants that contribute to disorder and severe malfunction of cognition." You can read the entire entry here.

Ring Of Fire: Scientists Warnings & Maps Show A Chain Of Events Could Literally Bring Hell On Earth

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine June 22, 2016

According to a real-time map of earthquakes, created by Mapbox, using data collected from the USGS earthquake data feed, there have been 9,651 tremors detected in the last 30 days, 1,740 of them occurring in the last week and 176 in the last day. (Note these numbers change as each new tremor is recorded) A screen shot of the map shows why all eyes should be on the "Ring of Fire," which is "a major area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. In a 40,000 km (25,000 mi) horseshoe shape, it is associated with a nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and volcanic belts and/or plate movements. It has 452 volcanoes (more than 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes)," according to Wikipedia. The size of the areas shown in blue indicate the magnitudes of the tremors recorded, the bigger the blue area, the larger the magnitude. Via Mapbox blog: Check out the tight clusters of minor earthquakes in Alaska and California, and sparser but far more powerful shocks on the Ring of Fire’s western edge. With the recent FEMA Drill called Cascadia Rising, which practiced a simulated field response operation within their jurisdictions and with neighboring communities, state EOCs, FEMA, and major military commands to a scenario of a 9.0 magnitude earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) and the resulting tsunami, it once again highlighted the fact that the U.S. government is preparing for what scientists and researchers have warned is long overdue.... the big one. The Cascadia Rising 2016 page states "Recent subduction zone earthquakes around the world underscore the catastrophic impacts we will face when the next CSZ earthquake and tsunami occurs in our region," as they highlight the 2004 Indonesia event (9.1 mag EQ) with 228,000 fatalities, the 2010 EQ in Chile (8.8 mag) causing 500 fatalities and the 2011 Japan 9.0 EQ which caused 18,000 fatalities, not counting the global damage still being done from the subsequent Fukushima nuclear plant meltdowns. The Cascadia Subduction Zone is not the only area of concern though as a dire warning came out in early May, reported on by the LA Times, with a headline of "San Andreas fault 'locked, loaded and ready to roll' with big earthquake, expert says." The San Andreas fault is one of California’s most dangerous, and is the state’s longest fault. Yet for Southern California, the last big earthquake to strike the southern San Andreas was in 1857, when a magnitude 7.9 earthquake ruptured an astonishing 185 miles between Monterey County and the San Gabriel Mountains near Los Angeles. It has been quiet since then — too quiet, said Thomas Jordan, director of the Southern California Earthquake Center. "The springs on the San Andreas system have been wound very, very tight. And the southern San Andreas fault, in particular, looks like it’s locked, loaded and ready to go," Jordan said in the opening keynote talk. The key quote from that article states "Here’s the problem: Scientists have observed that based on the movement of tectonic plates, with the Pacific plate moving northwest of the North American plate, earthquakes should be relieving about 16 feet of accumulated plate movement every 100 years. Yet the San Andreas has not relieved stress that has been building up for more than a century." Two days ago it was reported that large-scale motion detected near San Andreas Fault system. Related: 'Seismic strain': Land around the San Andreas fault is rising and sinking, new earthquake research shows Now we see a prediction offered by scientists from the University of Hawaii at Mānoa of a "nine percent chance a magnitude 9 or larger earthquake will strike the Aleutian Islands in the next 50 years," reported by Extinction Protocol. What does Cascadia, Aleutian and San Andreas Fault have in common? They are all connected to the Ring of Fire, as shown by the USGS map shown below, obtained from Google images. While many focus on the predicted earthquakes and tsunamis and the devastation that would occur in areas completely unprepared for "the big one," we note the amount of volcanoes in the U.S. that scientists consider "active," with the AGI claiming that number is about 169, then linking to the USGS Volcano Activity Map, shown below. There are about 1500 potentially active volcanoes worldwide, aside from the continuous belt of volcanoes on the ocean floor. About 500 of these have erupted in historical time. Many of these are located along the Pacific Rim in what is known as the 'Ring of Fire.' In the U.S., volcanoes in the Cascade Range and Alaska (Aleutian volcanic chain) are part of the Ring, while Hawaiian volcanoes form over a 'hot spot' near the center of the Ring. Note that in mid-June it was reported that earthquakes in Ring of Fire triggered volcano affecting thousands near Manila in the Philippines after Mount Bulusan belched ash 1.2miles into the sky after 113 small earthquakes were recorded around it, with the UK Express reporting "The Ring of Fire is the most seismically-active place on earth and has been experiencing a high number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions since the spring." Related: Earth's rings of fire: Mountains ranges, volcanoes and trenches created by 15 tectonic plates revealed in stunning images BOTTOM LINE It is all connected, so when we see articles from MSM outlets highlighting warnings about Cascadia, or San Andreas or any other prediction of the "big one" hitting here or there, one must keep in mind that when it does hit it could set off a chain of events that literally brings hell on earth. This is also a major reason why folks should prepare. Consider the warnings from 2013 where Dr. Lucy Jones, a Science Advisor for Risk Reduction at the U.S. Geological Survey, warned Americans that is the "big one" should hit southern California we should "imagine America without Los Angeles," because the damage would cause food shortages to those in the affected area and beyond, natural gas lines used for cooking and heating would be cut, data lines would be severed, and "high-tech damage could hinder the recovery effort in the weeks and months after the earthquake." People should have a sufficient supplies of food, water, medical necessities and basics in order to survive being cut off from the rest of the country, not just for weeks, but possibly much longer. Those with the higher chance of survival in any disaster scenario will always be those the most prepared.

Mystery Object Outshines Entire Milky Way Galaxy by 50 Times --"We Don't Know What the Power Source Could Be" (Thursday's Most Popular) June 09, 2016

Astronomers were not entirely sure what it is. If, as they suspect, the gas ball is the result of a supernova, then it's the most powerful supernova ever seen. In June of 2015, astronomers viewed a ball of hot gas billions of light years away that is radiating the energy of hundreds of billions of suns. Even in a discipline that regularly uses gigantic numbers to express size or distance, the case of this small but powerful mystery object in the center of the gas ball is extreme. At its heart is an object a little larger than 10 miles across. ASAS-SN-15lh, as the object is known, was twice as luminous as any previously seen, far brighter than any normal supernova, and outshone our entire Milky Way galaxy by 50 times. The artist’s impression below shows what it would look like from an exoplanet 10,000 light-years away in its home galaxy. The team reported that the object at the center could be a very rare type of star called a magnetar--but one so powerful that it pushes the energy limits allowed by physics. An international team of professional and amateur astronomers spotted the possible supernova, now called ASASSN-15lh, when it first flared to life in June 2015. The gas ball surrounding the object can't be seen with the naked eye, because it's 3.8 billion light years away. But it was spotted by the All Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN, pronounced "assassin") collaboration. Led by Ohio State, the project uses a cadre of small telescopes around the world to detect bright objects in our local universe. Though ASAS-SN has discovered some 250 supernovae since the collaboration began in 2014, the explosion that powered ASASSN-15lh stands out for its sheer magnitude. It is 200 times more powerful than the average supernova, 570 billion times brighter than our sun, and 20 times brighter than all the stars in our Milky Way Galaxy combined. "We have to ask, how is that even possible?" said Krzysztof Stanek, professor of astronomy at Ohio State. "It takes a lot of energy to shine that bright, and that energy has to come from somewhere." "The honest answer is at this point that we do not know what could be the power source for ASASSN-15lh," said Subo Dong, lead author of the Science paper and a Youth Qianren Research Professor of astronomy at the Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics at Peking University. He added that the discovery "may lead to new thinking and new observations of the whole class of superluminous supernova." Todd Thompson, professor of astronomy at Ohio State, offered one possible explanation. The supernova could have spawned an extremely rare type of star called a millisecond magnetar, a rapidly spinning and very dense star with a very strong magnetic field. To shine so bright, this particular magnetar would also have to spin at least 1,000 times a second, and convert all that rotational energy to light with nearly 100 percent efficiency, Thompson explained. It would be the most extreme example of a magnetar that scientists believe to be physically possible. "Given those constraints," he said, "will we ever see anything more luminous than this? If it truly is a magnetar, then the answer is basically no." The Hubble Space Telescope will help settle the question later this year, in part because it will allow astronomers to see the host galaxy surrounding the object. If the team finds that the object lies in the very center of a large galaxy, then perhaps it's not a magnetar at all, and the gas around it is not evidence of a supernova, but instead some unusual nuclear activity around a supermassive black hole. If so, then its bright light could herald a completely new kind of event, said study co-author Christopher Kochanek, professor of astronomy at Ohio State and the Ohio Eminent Scholar in Observational Cosmology. It would be something never before seen in the center of a galaxy. The Daily Galaxy via Ohio State University Image Credit: NASA and Beijing Planetarium / Jin Ma

Iceland’s Hekla volcano “ready to blow”

A geophysics professor from the University of Iceland has warned people not to travel up Hekla volcano in South Iceland as it could erupt at any moment. As reported by Icelandic news website visir.is (link in Icelandic), Hekla erupted regularly ever ten years or so from 1970 to 2000 – but has now been silent for sixteen years. According to Professor Páll Einarsson, pressure readings within the famous volcano are now higher than before the last two previous eruptions – meaning it could blow with little warning. “Hekla is a dangerous volcano,” says Einarsson. “We could be looking at a major disaster when the next eruption begins if we are not careful.” MORE: 1980 Hekla eruption passenger jet near-miss “Hekla has become a very popular tourist destination. Nowadays, there are tourist groups on Hekla most of the summer,” Einarsson explain in the visir.is article. “There are also 20-30 planes full of passengers flying right over the top of Hekla every day,” he warns. “This is a risky moment which we need to take seriously.” New measurements have shown that Hekla has been gathering magma and internal pressure is higher than before the last two previous eruptions. “Hekla is ready – at any moment,” Einarsson concludes.

'ACCORDING TO THE MUSLIM FAITH, IF SOMEONE TRIES TO APOSTATE, HE OR SHE COULD BE KILLED'

June 21, 2016

Islamic apologists in the West, both Muslim and non-Muslim, routinely deny that Islam has a death penalty for those who leave Islam. They also deny that Islam allows for child marriage. How is it that so many Muslims in Pakistan have misunderstood their own faith? Says the local police chief in the article below: “The Muslims living in the area said nobody is allowed to go back to his or her old religion after embracing Islam. According to the Muslim faith, if someone tries to apostate, he or she could be killed.” And later on, the Washington Post informs us that Pakistan is “a country with no law against child marriage.” Apostasy: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89) A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence. This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent Muslim cleric in the world, has stated: “The Muslim jurists are unanimous that apostates must be punished, yet they differ as to determining the kind of punishment to be inflicted upon them. The majority of them, including the four main schools of jurisprudence (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali) as well as the other four schools of jurisprudence (the four Shiite schools of Az-Zaidiyyah, Al-Ithna-‘ashriyyah, Al-Ja’fariyyah, and Az-Zaheriyyah) agree that apostates must be executed.” Qaradawi also once famously said: “If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment, Islam wouldn’t exist today.”

Spending it all on rent: 11 million Americans spend half their income on rent. Another 21 million spend over 30 percent of their income on rent, a record high.

Posted by mybudget360 in income, real estate

The financial raiding of the American middle class is moving full steam ahead. The ridiculous structure of the banking bailouts and artificially low interest rates caused hot money from banks and big investors to crowd out regular families in the housing market. Now here we are 7 years after the official conclusion of the Great Recession and regular American families are financially struggling while banks and big investors thrive. Today 11 million Americans spend half of their income on rent. Another 21.3 million spent over 30 percent of their income on rent. With millions of properties being bought by investors since the Great Recession hit, all that has happened is a mega transfer of wealth. You don’t build equity by renting but many people are simply priced out from buying a home. The great bailout scam Most Americans have a hard time saving money. This is why housing has been a big plus in the net worth column for many households for more than a generation. This is seen as a forced savings mechanism. Yet the homeownership rate is at a generational low and we have a record percentage of families now renting building no equity. And the problem in big cities is even more pronounced. Here is a map showing how much you need to earn to afford a regular two-bedroom apartment: So it should come as no surprise that many young Americans stuck in low wage jobs are unable to rent a place and end up living with parents or roommates. Others simply spend a wild amount of their income on rent. In the past, this would be the prime age to buy but that is not happening. Unfortunately there are two big issues here: -1. There is a lost decade in homeownership growth. Meaning many people missed out on building equity. -2. Banks and investors continue to hoard homes causing an abnormal distortion to the market. This is manipulated because the Fed is forcibly keeping interest rates low. The end result was that investors dove into housing chasing yields in rental properties, a segment of the market that was largely left to mom and pop investors in the past. The amount of buying over the last decade was a new trend especially with big money flowing in – even though returns are low with zero percent interest rates, banks and big investors had little risk in loading up on rental properties. And rents continue to go up while incomes went stagnant: Rents are going up faster than wages and are far outpacing the overall inflation rate. So it is no surprise then that a record number of Americans are spending half of their money on rent. This makes it less likely that they are consuming on other goods or also saving for their own retirement. All it means is more money is being siphoned off to banks and investors. This is largely shuffling digital money around but Americans are now understanding who really has the power in this country. Large financial institutions are dictating how things play out even if it means things are worse off financially for regular working families.

There Are Now More Bureaucrats With Guns Than U.S. Marines

Report: Non-military federal agencies spend $1.48 billion on guns and ammo since 2006

BY: Elizabeth Harrington June 22, 2016 3:20 pm

There are now more non-military government employees who carry guns than there are U.S. Marines, according to a new report. Open the Books, a taxpayer watchdog group, released a study Wednesday that finds domestic government agencies continue to grow their stockpiles of military-style weapons, as Democrats sat on the House floor calling for more restrictions on what guns American citizens can buy. The “Militarization of America” report found civilian agencies spent $1.48 billion on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment between 2006 and 2014. Examples include IRS agents with AR-15s, and EPA bureaucrats wearing camouflage. “Regulatory enforcement within administrative agencies now carries the might of military-style equipment and weapons,” Open the Books said. “For example, the Food and Drug Administration includes 183 armed ‘special agents,’ a 50 percent increase over the ten years from 1998-2008. At Health and Human Services (HHS), ‘Special Office of Inspector General Agents’ are now trained with sophisticated weaponry by the same contractors who train our military special forces troops.” Open the Books found there are now over 200,000 non-military federal officers with arrest and firearm authority, surpassing the 182,100 personnel who are actively serving in the U.S. Marines Corps. The IRS spent nearly $11 million on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment for its 2,316 special agents. The tax collecting agency has billed taxpayers for pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns, semi-automatic Smith & Wesson M&P15s, and Heckler & Koch H&K 416 rifles, which can be loaded with 30-round magazines. The EPA spent $3.1 million on guns, ammo, and equipment, including drones, night vision, “camouflage and other deceptive equipment,” and body armor. When asked about the spending, and EPA spokesman said the report “cherry picks information and falsely misrepresents the work of two administrations whose job is to protect public health.” “Many purchases were mischaracterized or blown out of proportion in the report,” said spokesman Nick Conger. “EPA’s criminal enforcement program has not purchased unmanned aircraft, and the assertions that military-grade weapons are part of its work are false.” “EPA’s criminal enforcement program investigates and prosecutes the most egregious violators of our nation’s environmental laws, and EPA criminal enforcement agents are law enforcement professionals who have undergone the same rigorous training as other federal agents,” Conger continued. Other administration agencies that have purchased guns and ammo include the Small Business Administration, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Department of Education, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The report also highlighted that the Department of Health and Human Services has “special agents” with “sophisticated military-style weapons.” Open the Books also found $42 million in gun and ammunition purchases that were incorrectly coded. “Some purchases were actually for ping-pong balls, gym equipment, bread, copiers, cotton balls, or cable television including a line item from the Coast Guard entered as ‘Cable Dude,’” the report said. Open the Books appealed to both liberals like Bernie Sanders—who has called for demilitarizing local police departments—and conservatives in its report. “Conservatives argue that it is hypocritical for political leaders to undermine the Second Amendment while simultaneously equipping non-military agencies with hollow-point bullets and military style equipment,” Open the Books said. “One could argue the federal government itself has become a gun show that never adjourns with dozens of agencies continually shopping for new firearms.” Update June 23, 10:15 a.m.: Following publication of this article, Adam Andrzejewski, the CEO of Open the Books who wrote the report, pushed back against the EPA’s statement, and provided contract data to back up his claims. “How can the EPA spokesperson deny hard facts from their own checkbook?” he said. “Alongside our oversight report, OpenTheBooks.com also released a PDF of all raw data. This line-by-line transactional record from the EPA’s own checkbook on page 113 clearly shows that in 2013 and 2014 the EPA purchased tens of thousands of dollars of ‘Unmanned Aircraft’ from Bergen RC Helicopters Inc which on a net basis amounted to approximately $34,000.” “All of the assertions in our oversight report are the quantification of actual spending records produced and reported to us by the federal agencies themselves,” Andrzejewski said.

North Korea's Musudan Missile Test Actually Succeeded. What Now?

North Korea claims its sixth Musudan missile test this year was a success. Why does that matter?

By Ankit Panda June 23, 2016

Yesterday, North Korea launched two liquid-fueled Musudan (Hwasong-10) intermediate-range ballistic missiles. As I wrote then, the tests marked the fifth and sixth test launches of the missile this year. Testing began in mid-April, to coincide with the birth anniversary of Kim Il-sung, North Korea’s founder and grandfather to current leader Kim Jong-un. Sadly for Kim, all four tests prior to yesterday had failed either at launch or shortly after launch. (The Diplomat‘s John Power has a good round-up of the most recent tests at our Koreas channel.) Tests one through four failed, and yesterday, the first test (test launch five) also failed, though it flew further than the previous tests. It turns out that the sixth and final Musudan tested to date actually demonstrated results suggesting a high degree of success. Japan’s Defense Minister Gen Nakatani noted an apogee of around 1,000 kilometers for the missile. The sixth Musudan also covered the most surface distance, traveling 400 kilometers from its launch site near the North Korean city of Wonsan, on the country’s eastern coast overlooking the Sea of Japan. (Incidentally, the first missile fired yesterday also flew 150 kilometers, a significant upgrade over the previous launches in April and May.) The 1,000 kilometer apogee means that the missile made it into the Earth’s exosphere. Long-range ballistic missiles work by essentially hurling their payload high into the earth’s atmosphere, using a ballistic trajectory to reach their target, letting gravity and air resistance do most of the work in the reentry and terminal phases. A Musudan at 1,000 kilometers is a worrisome milestone, particularly if Pyongyang is able to mount its new compact nuclear devices on board the missile. The 400 kilometer range, meanwhile, shouldn’t deceive you; North Korea likely intended for the missile to fly at a steeper angle than would be ideal for it to reach its maximum range of 3,500 kilometers. (Pyongyang took care to make sure that the missile didn’t splash down within Japan’s air defense identification zone, as well.) Enjoying this article? Click here to subscribe for full access. Just $5 a month. Indeed, early on Thursday, a day after the Musudan test launches, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was reported to have said that the test was a full success and, critically, underlined that Pyongyang now had attained “the sure capability to attack” U.S. targets in the “Pacific operation theater,” most likely referring to Guam but also other regional U.S. bases. The definition of success in missile testing can be somewhat subjective; North Korea gets to decide the parameters it was looking to accomplish and it looks like Kim Jong-un is satisfied with the 1,000 kilometer apogee and the 400 kilometer range accomplishments. (Obvious failed tests meanwhile are easy to spot, particularly when a missile blows itself and its launcher up on or immediately after launch.) Kim Jong-un’s Thursday statement also helps explain why we’ve seen a particularly unusual spate of Musudan testing this spring. North Korea watchers have speculated that the repeated and rushed testing could have been due to Kim Jong-un needing to demonstrate, in line with his byungjin ambitions (more on that here), that he possessed a credible strike platform capable of hitting the U.S. territory of Guam. North Korea’s KN-08 and new KN-14 intercontinental ballistic missiles, which may be capable of striking most of the continental United States if developed successfully, remain in development and have yet to be test-fired. Jeffrey Lewis, a North Korea watcher and nonproliferation expert at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, notes that “If we do nothing, this ends in a successful flight test of the Musudan-based KN-08 (ICBM).” This test should be a reminder for policymakers in the United States and certainly in the region that North Korea continues to make steady progress on a range of platforms that bring Kim Jong-un closer to realizing the nuclear leg of byungjin, threatening regional peace and security. It’s far from obvious where Pyongyang goes from here. Kim Jong-un’s statement on Thursday suggests that the signaling value of the Musudan tests has been accomplished and, with a limited inventory of missiles remaining, Pyongyang may choose to hold off on further testing. Conversely, it could continue testing to protest international isolation and sanctions. The nightmare scenario is the possibility of Pyongyang using the know-how its gained with its Musudan testing to eventually conduct a flight test its KN-08 ICBM, with a possible atmospheric nuclear detonation to remove any doubts about miniaturization. However, amid attempts at an uneasy rapprochement with Beijing and even a willingness to enter a track 1.5 dialogue with regional and U.S. diplomats this week, Pyongyang may choose to tamp down its spate of testing somewhat and claim that its long-sought goal of credibly being able to threaten Guam with a nuclear strike has been achieved. With the country under economic stress from sanctions and under increased agricultural stress precipitating a famine, Kim has plenty of reason to turn his attention to the economic leg of byungjin.

The Supreme Court Just Created a Full-Blown Police State – The End of the USA Cannot Be Far Behind

Posted Jun 21, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

The Supreme Court ruling in Utah v Strieff awarded the police total freedom to stop any citizen, at any time, to do whatever they desire. The Supreme Court determined that the “poisonous fruit” of a police officer’s stop of a citizen can be used against them at trial. This has wiped out, in reality, any constitutional protection you thought you had. This is a sad day for the United States, for the Supreme Court has officially created a full-blown police state and clearly has no intention of honoring why this nation began the entire American Revolution — to prevent illegal searches that allowed the king to look for anything he could use to prosecute citizens. The Supreme Court ruled that even though the officer had initially violated a person’s rights (in other words, the Constitution) the officer’s conduct was “at most negligent” and the result of “good-faith mistakes.” This language is a wink and nod to the police who only have to claim they made a mistake that was not intentional and they walk free. We have witnessed police outrageously murder citizens, but the police officers involved are usually not charged. Now, with this decision, the United States has become exactly as Ukraine stood before the people revolted. A friend of mine from Ukraine came to the states before the last revolution. When they would see a police officer, they would tense up and try to avoid them at all costs. At home, the police were the criminals. They would shake you down, abuse you, and there was simply no rule of law. The Supreme Court, as of yesterday, has committed suicide. In February 1761, James Otis, Jr. (1725–1783) argued brilliantly against the Writs of Assistance that was authorized in 1660 but became an instrument of tyranny in 1758 in the American colonies as a means to raise taxes. For nearly five hours, Otis made a brilliant oration in court against the Writs, but he lost the case, for what judge would ever rule against his master? John Adams later wrote that “the child independence was then and there born, [for] every man of an immense crowded audience appeared to me to go away as I did, ready to take arms against writs of assistance.” This spirit of resistance appears to rise roughly every 51.6 years, albeit at different intensity. This very power to arbitrarily search anyone sparked the American Revolution. No taxation without representation followed, but the inspiration was the right to be free and the Supreme Court just took away. The police no longer have restraint. This is the final stage of how empires, nations, and city-states collapse when there is no rule of law. Once the state elevates itself above the people, the end is not far behind. The dissenting words of Justice Sonia Sotomayor reflect the dire state to which the United States has degenerated. Scalia would have joined Justice Sotomayor on this one, and if he were still alive, he would have tipped the scale and protected our liberty. With Scalia gone, who was a strict constructionist, there is little hope left in the Supreme Court. Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote, “Even if you are innocent, you will now join the 65 million Americans with an arrest record and experience the ‘civil death’ of discrimination by employers, landlords, and whoever else conducts a background check.” She concluded, and I must agree: By legitimizing the conduct that produces this double consciousness, this case tells everyone, white and black, guilty and innocent, that an officer can verify your legal status at any time. It says that your body is subject to invasion while courts excuse the violation of your rights. It implies that you are not a citizen of a democracy but the subject of a carceral state, just waiting to be cataloged. We must not pretend that the countless people who are routinely targeted by police are “isolated.” They are the canaries in the coal mine whose deaths, civil and literal, warn us that no one can breathe in this atmosphere. They are the ones who recognize that unlawful police stops corrode all our civil liberties and threaten all our lives. Until their voices matter too, our justice system will continue to be anything but.

'No Fly, No Buy' Means No Freedom

By Andrew P. Napolitano June 23, 2016

The people in the government who want to control our personal choices are the enemies of freedom. And the enemies of freedom can be very clever and seductive. Last week, these folks, manifesting their lust to keep us dependent upon the government by rejecting the natural right to self-defense, coined a clever phrase: “No fly, no buy.” It sounds rational, yet it rejects core American values. The phrase was pounded home to average Americans during a one-sided 15-hour televised marathon on the floor of the Senate orchestrated by the gun control crowd. The essence of the argument was that stricter laws regarding gun sales would have prevented the massacre at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. In gun control advocates’ dream world, the self-loathing Islamic State-inspired killer, willing to take 49 innocent lives, would somehow have been unwilling to violate restrictive gun purchase laws; and his obedience to those laws would have saved lives. Their argument is naive and absurd. A person willing to commit mass murder is surely willing to break the law to acquire the means to commit the murders. So blinded were these senators in their misguided utterances about self-defense that they forgot about the Constitution. Myths, Misunderstandings and Outright lies about owning Gold. Are you at risk? The legislation they offered would have required that people whose names the feds put on a terror watchlist or a no-fly list (these are often done simultaneously) would not be legally able to purchase a gun. The senators summarized this idea dozens of times as “no fly, no buy.”Though this phrase, which was quickly picked up by many of my colleagues in the media, has an easy and simplistic ring to it, it reveals a troubling ideology that profoundly rejects core American values. When Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights and when the inalienability of our rights was codified in the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, the United States was wedded to the Judeo-Christian principle that our rights stem from our humanity. This was expressly recognized recently by the Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller, in which it held that the right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental personal right, not a gift of the government to a group. A fundamental personal right is the natural ability of individuals to make meaningful choices without a government permission slip. May the government ever interfere with fundamental rights? The short answer is yes. The longer answer is that it can only do so if it can demonstrate a compelling governmental interest — served by the least restrictive means, and only after due process. Stated differently, if the government wants to silence your speech or deny you the right to self-defense, it must meet a very high burden in a public courtroom. It must demonstrate to a judge and jury that its need to silence or disarm you is compelling, and its goals may not be attained by any lesser means. Americans need not demonstrate a compelling need to speak or bear arms; the government must demonstrate a compelling need to prevent us from doing so. That is what lawyers call black letter law — meaning it is well-established, followed throughout the land and rarely challenged. Until now. Earlier this week in the Senate, the gun control crowd sought to give nameless and faceless federal bureaucrats the ability to strip Americans of their right to keep and bear arms by putting their names on a terror watchlist/no-fly list and prohibiting those on the list from buying guns. Yet none of these senators could state the criteria for putting a name on that list, and none could identify the people who prepare or keep the list. That’s because these are well-guarded government secrets — secrets that have no place in American life. If a government bureaucrat can put your name on a secret list on the bureaucrat’s own whim or even using secret standards and, as a result, you have lost a fundamental liberty, then the feds have transformed a natural right into a governmental gift. If the feds can create a no-fly list in secret and “no fly” comes to mean “no buy,” then we have no rights but what the government will permit us to do. As if to underscore his ignorance of American values, one of the senators even stated that due process is killing us. He must have forgotten his oath to uphold the Constitution, which guarantees that the government may not take life, liberty or property without due process. Due process — the absolute right to know the law and to force the government to prove a violation of it to a jury before it can take life, liberty or property — is the essence of the rights of free people. It is utterly scandalous — and probably disqualifying from office — that a senator could bemoan its existence. Can you see how low we have sunk? The gun control crowd doesn’t care about personal liberty in a free society; it just cares about control. It wants us all to be pliant and reliant on a government that it controls; never mind that it is utterly incapable of protecting us from crazies who will resort to mass death for their own deranged purposes. If the government secretly can put an American’s name on a secret list and, as a result, his liberty is lost, then there are no freedoms — just government-granted privileges. And if it can do this to the natural rights to travel and self-defense, can other fundamental rights be far behind?

US general warns Russia could OVERWHELM eastern Europe in just 36 hours as Putin blames Nato's 'aggressive actions' for building up his country's military forces

The warning came from the commander of US ground forces in Europe

Gen Ben Hodges said Russia could conquer Baltic capitals in 36 hours

Heavy military equipment could not be moved fast enough, he warned

Russia is creating new divisions along its southwest regions

By Ted Thornhill for MailOnline Published: 09:18 EST, 22 June 2016 | Updated: 15:54 EST, 22 June 2016

Nato would currently be unable to protect the Baltics against a Russian attack, the commander of US ground forces in Europe, General Ben Hodges, said in a news report Wednesday. 'Russia could take over the Baltic states faster than we would be able to defend them,' Hodges was quoted as saying in a German-language article by news weekly Die Zeit. His comments came as Putin slammed Nato for ratcheting up its rhetoric and its 'aggressive actions' close to Russia's border, warning it was forcing Moscow to increase its military capacity. General Hodges had said he agreed with an assessment by military analysts that says Russian forces could conquer the capitals of Baltic states Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia within 36 to 60 hours. Hodges also said Nato forces had found numerous deficiencies during the recent 'Anaconda' military exercise in Poland, according to the article from Thursday's edition of Die Zeit released early to AFP. Heavy military equipment could not be moved fast enough from western to eastern Europe, he said, while also voicing concern about the alliance's communication technology. 'Neither radio communication nor email are secure,' he was quoted as saying. 'I assume that everything I write on my BlackBerry is being monitored.' The Anaconda manoeuvre included troops from more than 20 Nato member states but was officially a Polish national exercise. Hodges told Die Zeit that 'some countries, like France and Germany, thought it would be too provocative toward Russia to call it a Nato exercise'. Putin's remarks about Nato aggression came on the 75th anniversary of the invasion of the USSR by Nazi Germany. 'Nato is stepping up its aggressive rhetoric and its aggressive actions close to our borders,' Putin told lawmakers. 'In these conditions, we are obliged to dedicate special attention to resolving tasks connected with heightening the defence capabilities of our country.' Putin also accused the West of rejecting Russian overtures to help tackle the common foe of 'international terrorism' - as it once ignored the Soviet Union's warnings about Hitler - as it seeks to isolate Moscow over the Ukraine crisis. 'Once again, as it was on the eve of World War II, (we) are not seeing a positive response,' Putin said. Relations between Russia and the West have slumped to their lowest point since the Cold War over Moscow's 2014 annexation of Crimea from Ukraine and its alleged masterminding of a separatist uprising. Russian aircraft have also increased tensions recently by launching a series of provocative intercepts of Nato, Swedish and other aircraft. Nato announced last week that it would deploy four battalions to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland to counter a more assertive Russia, ahead of a landmark summit in Warsaw on July 8-9. All four countries were once ruled from Moscow and remain deeply suspicious of Russian intentions, especially after Russia's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. Russia bitterly opposes Nato's expansion into its Soviet-era satellites and last month said it would create three new divisions in its southwest region to meet what it described as a dangerous military build-up along its borders.

EXCLUSIVE: Donald Rumsfeld says he'll vote for Trump – 'It's not a close call!' – as 9/11-era defense secretary says Hillary Clinton 'would probably be indicted' over emails if she were a soldier or sailor

Rumsfeld tells DailyMail.com that he will vote for the Republicans' presumptive nominee because he's a 'known unknown' and Hillary Clinton is a 'known known'

9/11-era defense secretary is one of the most senior Republican figures to come out publicly for Trump

He says Hillary Clinton isn't qualified to sit in the Oval Office, and 'would probably be indicted' over her emails if she were a junior military grunt

Trump launched an all-out attack on Hillary Clinton on Wednesday at a speech in New York in which he lambasted her as a 'world-class liar'

Rumsfeld spoke in an interview while promoting his Android 'Churchill Solitaire' app, which recreates Winston Churchill's favorite card game

By David Martosko, U.s. Political Editor For Dailymail.com Published: 16:30 EST, 22 June 2016 | Updated: 10:50 EST, 23 June 2016

Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said Wednesday that he will support Donald Trump with his vote in November. The declaration, which Rumsfeld made in an interview with DailyMail.com, makes him the highest-ranking member of the George W. Bush administration to back the Republican Party's presumptive nominee. It's 'not a close call,' he said in a 25-minute phone interview. Rumsfeld said he agrees in principle with Trump's position on reforming the NATO alliance, keeping Syrian refugees at bay over fears of terrorist infiltration, and other issues. And besides, he added, 'I'm a Republican, and there's not any doubt in my mind how I'll vote,' and 'I don't believe Hillary Clinton is qualified to be President of the United States.' 'I am incredibly grateful for the support of Secretary Rumsfeld, and I am very honored he supports my stances on NATO, the need to defeat ISIS and stop immigration of Syrian refugees,' Trump told DailyMail.com in a statement. Bush, the 43rd president, has given no indication that he will back Trump, who bounced his younger brother Jeb from a vicious GOP primary process this year. The former president has indicated that he won't attend July's Republican National Convention in Cleveland, an event already being talked about as 'The Trump Show' inside party circles. Colin Powell, the Bush-era secretary of state, has been openly hostile to Trump over his immigration positions. 'Let's tell all the immigrants working in Trump hotels to stay home tomorrow. See what happens,' he told the Washington Ideas Forum last October. Rumsfeld said Powell's opposition to his party's standard bearer is unsurprising. 'He supported Obama, Colin did! That's nothing new,' he said. Rumsfeld spoke with DailyMail.com as part of a media tour aimed at promoting the release of his 'Churchill Solitaire' app on the Android platform. The iPhone version has been downloaded more than 650,000 times and represents Winston Churchill's favorite version of the play-alone card game. Rumsfeld said he learned the game in 1973 from André de Staercke, a Belgian NATO diplomat, who learned it 30 years earlier from Churchill himself. 'I was afraid it would be lost to the ages,' he said Wednesday, while admitting the technology mystified him at first. 'I didn't even know what an app was!' he marveled. 'Don't tell anyone.' An animated Rumsfeld, 83, was even more eager to talk about the Trump phenomenon, saying that a year ago 'you could count on one hand' the number of people who thought he would be the GOP nominee. While the former defense secretary said he and Trump have never met, he agrees with the real estate tycoon about what Trump calls the potential for a 'Trojan horse' infiltration of terrorists among the Syrian refugees whom the Obama administration has been resettling in the U.S. 'He's absolutely right,' he said. 'Anyone who thinks the radical Islamists are not going to try to utilize every venue they can find to infiltrate in the United States, and in western European countries, to achieve their goals – these people just don't get it.' 'They've announced what they're going to do,' he said of the ISIS terror army. On the refugee crisis and the need for a NATO reboot, Rumsfeld said he has arrived at a Trump-aligned position through a different line of argument. 'We've got an enormous obligation' to help fleeing Syrians, he said, 'and the United Nations is so incompetent and inept and unhelpful ... this refugee problem is the most heartbreaking thing in the world.' But instead of politicizing the issue and moving the refugees halfway around the world, he said, the U.S. should be mobilizing regional powers to give them somewhere to flee to. 'We've got an obligation to provide safe zones for them,' he said. 'We've got to be proactive rather than arguing whether we should have 1000 or 2000 or 3000' in the United States. 'How is what I've said different from what he's said?' he asked, referring to Trump – whose position is nearly identical but contains an extra layer of terrorism rhetoric. 'The way he said it got him the Republican nomination for president. The way I said it makes people's eyes glaze over' but is 'less concerning to some people. ''The only real difference is [that] one is striking a nerve.' Trump's immigration policy and his own views, he said, similarly arrive at the same end but form different starting points. Most immigrants, he said, don't 'want to impose a different system on us.' But 'countries ought to be able to maintain their values' in the face of immigrant populations that don't want to assimilate. On NATO, Rumsfeld emphasized that most media reports of Trump's stated goals have been inaccurate. 'People have played very fast and loose,' he said. 'What he actually said was different from the characterizations that followed.' Rumsfeld, once America's NATO ambassador himself, agreed with Trump that the internal compass of the organization needs an overhaul, proclaiming the presumptive nominee's position is 'not far from what I wrote ... to President Bush 13 or 14 years ago.' NATO, he said, was 'fashioned during the Truman administration, and they do need to be updated for the 21st century and the information age.' Hillary Clinton has pounced on popularized but inaccurate versions of Trump's NATO pronouncements, saying he would withdraw the U.S. from the alliance entirely. Rumsfeld framed the choice between Clinton and Trump in terms political historians will find familiar, relying on the words he used in 2002 to describe questions about the U.S. intelligence community's ability to spot weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. 'Mrs. Clinton is a known known. Donald Trump is a known unknown who's a recent entry into the equation,' he said, attributing the insight to his wife. 'And I am a lot more comfortable with a known unknown, who I will support, than with a known known who is unacceptable.' 'I couldn't support Mrs. Clinton,' he emphasized. 'What she has done with classified information I think is inexcusable and puts at risk people's lives [and] not just ours.' Clinton is facing an FBI investigation concerning classified material found among emails she housed on a homebrew private server while she ran the State Department. 'I personally believe that if she were a sergeant in the Army or a yeoman in the Navy, she'd probably be indicted,' he said. 'It's just inexcusable. You just can't do that!' The impact of Clinton's data security practices will be far-reaching, Rumsfeld predicted. 'Other countries will be less likely to share information with us,' he said, now that it's clear the U.S. government can't maintain the secrecy it once boasted as a core competency. And the potential for hacking, he said, means state secrets are falling 'into the hands of the other side,' which 'tells them that we had the information, which means they can figure out how we got it and stop us from getting more ... and even compromise the people who gave it to us or allow us to get it.' Rumsfeld also took issue with Clinton's statements to family members of U.S. personnel killed in a 2012 terror attack on a diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya. Those next of kin have said Clinton blamed their loved ones' deaths on an anti-Islam YouTube video, rather than identifying the carnage as the result of a jihadi attack. Her emails at the time show that she conceded the truth to her daughter and to foreign leaders. 'When Mrs. Clinton said to those people, the parents of the people killed, that it was the video, when she knew completely, certainly, that it wasn't' – he said, suddenly falling silent. 'I mean, I'm very uncomfortable with someone like that,' he concluded.

Paul Craig Roberts Just Exposed The Terrifying Reason Why The Elites Had To Stop Brexit At All Costs

June 22, 2016

Former U.S. Treasury Secretary, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, just exposed the terrifying reason why the elites had to stop Brexit at all costs. (King World News) Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: “If you read the presstitute media, Brexit—the referendum tomorrow on the UK’s exit from the EU— is about racism. According to the story line, angry rightwing racists of violent inclinations want to leave the EU to avoid having to accept more dark-skinned immigrants into England… Continue reading the Dr. Paul Craig Roberts piece below… Despite the constant propaganda against exit, polls indicated that more favored leaving the EU than remaining until a female member of Parliament, Jo Cox, was killed by a man that a witness said shouted “Brexit.” Cox was an opponent of leaving the EU. Cox’s Murder Used To Drive The Propaganda The UK government and presstitute media used Cox’s murder to drive home the propaganda that violent racists were behind Brexit. However, other witnesses gave a different report. The Guardian, which led with the propaganda line, did report later in its account that “Other witnesses said the attack was launched after the MP became involved in an altercation involving two men near where she held her weekly surgery.” Of course, we will never know, because Cox’s murder is too valuable of a weapon against Brexit. There is no doubt that many in the UK are disturbed at the transformation of their country. One doesn’t have to be a racist to feel that one’s country is being stolen from them by people of alien cultures. The British have a long history of fighting off invaders, and many believe they are experiencing an invasion, although not an armed one. An armed one, of course, would not have the government’s and media’s support. When British people hear pundits pronounce that immigrants contribute more to the UK than they absorb in social payments, what they hear is inconsistent with their experience. Moreover, many British are tired of having to avoid entire sections of their cities, including London, because of safety concerns. The U.K. Being Led Down The Rabbit Hole Of Its Own Destruction It is a propaganda choice to call these concerns racism rather than cultural defense, and the UK political establishment has made that propaganda choice. Little wonder so many British citizens no longer believe that the British Establishment represents Britain. But let’s give the propagandists the benefit of the doubt and for sake of argument assume that Brexit is about racism. What is the opposition to Brexit really about? Most certainly it is not about helping the refugees from Washington’s wars that the UK government has enabled. If the British establishment cared so much for the Muslims seeking refuge from America’s invasions, bombs, and drones, the British establishment would not have supported Washington’s attacks on these people. Opposition to Brexit is based on two powerful interests of Washington. The End Of London As A Financial Center? One is the interests of the New York banks and Wall Street to eliminate the UK as a financial center competitor. This blatant fact has escaped the notice of the City and the Bank of England. The British have forgotten that they only have one foot in the EU, because the UK was permitted to keep its own currency. The UK does not use the euro and, thus, retains the power to finance the British government. Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, etc., do not have this capability. They are dependent on private banks for financing. In order to trick the UK into joining the EU, the British were given special privileges. However, these privileges cannot last forever. The EU process is one of political integration. As I reported years ago, Jean-Claude Trichet, at that time the president of the European Central Bank, said that to complete the political integration of Europe, the fiscal policies of member states would be centralized. It is impossible to centralize fiscal policies if the UK is an independent financial center with its own central bank and currency. Why The Elites Had To Stop Brexit At All Costs Wall Street understands that the defeat of Brexit means a shortened lifespan for London as a financial center, as it is impossible to be a financial center unless a country has its own currency and central bank. As it is impossible for the UK to be a member of the EU and not operate under the European Central Bank, once the Brexit referendum is defeated, the process of gradually forcing the UK into the euro will begin. The other powerful interest is the interest of Washington to prevent one country’s exit from leading to the exit of other countries. As CIA documents found in the US National Archives make clear, the EU was a CIA initiative, the purpose of which is to make it easy for Washington to exercise political control over Europe. It is much easier for Washington to control the EU than 28 separate countries. Moreover, if the EU unravels, so likely would NATO, which is the necessary cover for Washington’s aggression. The EU serves Washington and the One Percent. It serves no one else. The EU is a murderer of sovereignty and peoples. The intent is for the British, French, Germans, Italians, Greeks, Spanish, and all the rest to disappear as peoples. Brexit is the last chance to defeat this hidden agenda, and apparently the British will vote tomorrow without having a clue as to what is at stake and what the vote is about.” ***Also just released: Shocking Interview From A Legend On Brexit And The Global Chaos That Will Ensue After Brexit CLICK HERE.

Hunting Humans Could Become 'Big Game' In Future As Economy Continues To Crumble - With The Elite Now Using Food As A Weapon Against Humanity, 'Dark Tourism' Is Already Worth Billions Yearly And Set To Explode As Chaos Takes Hold June 22, 2016

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

The story that the Drudge Report linked to on Tuesday from the Mirror sounds like something out of a dystopian science fiction horror novel but apparently it may one day become all too real; "Hunting Humans Set To Become Big Business For The Super Rich Within The Next 100 Years" we are told. As we hear in the 1st video below from WeaponizedNEWS.Com, we're now getting more and more proof that the 1% want to put the rest of us into a 'hunger games' scenario as we approach UN's Agenda-2030. The 2nd video below is the trailer for the classic movie "Running Man" which takes place, by the way, in the year 2017. ("Oh what timing!" Susan says!) While the elite hunting down humans might sound way out of the realm of possibility to some, the fact that the majority of men and women living in Venezuela are now very hungry with some resorting to hunting down dogs and cats to eat, just to survive, while the elite in Venezuela still dine on gourmet foods should send us a loud and clear signal that it's not out of the realm of possibility. When we also consider the way we're heading in society with dark and evil forces at work all around us, we should heed the warnings of what experts tell us it would take for our society to reach that point which they warn we're already approaching, though we may still be 100 years away from. Telling us that 'dark tourism' is a flourishing business even now in 2016 that is worth billions of dollars a year, we're told that the range of 'dark tourism' from now into the future range from scenes of death from concentration camps and museums dedicated to serial killers and mass murderers to one day featuring the real-life barbarism of the soulless elite hunting down other human beings for sport, and maybe food, if it's not happening privately already. As if we need more proof of how far America and the West have already fallen, we're told that the 'elite' will likely be willing to pay millions of dollars to be able to hunt down and murder other human beings and by the year 2200, such 'events' will likely become televised public spectacle, similar to 'The Hunger Games' or the classic 'The Running Man'.  The nightmare prediction comes from Daniel Wright, senior lecturer in tourism at the University of Central Lancashire in a paper for the scientific journal Futures. He outlined a world ravaged by economic and ecological disasters , leading to overpopulation and a huge gap between rich and poor. But, he said, it also reflect both the past when public executions attracted huge crowds, to the craze for 'Dark Tourism' that is currently work billions a year. This includes scenes of death from battlefields to Ground Zero, concentration camps open to the public and even museums dedicated to murderers such as Jack the Ripper or Dracula. What would it take for us to reach the point where the elite hunting human for sport is not only widely accepted but becomes a public spectacle such as the Hunger Games movie series that showed the youth hunting each other down for sport, in a sick public sacrifice, broadcast for the entire world to see? Is this what our world is coming to, a futuristic gladiatorial society where life no longer matters and people pay to witness or participate in public murder? Hunting humans as an underground sport could happen as early as 2100, the report suggests, but becoming an authentic tourism experience by 2200.Of course the world will have to take a turn for the worse to reach a situation where rich people can hunt poor people for sport. Daniel Wright said: "Death as a spectacle is not a new phenomenon in social spaces. "In fact, our past arguably shows the human fascination for death, through various forms, to be more of a social activity. "Roman gladiatorial games and public executions are well documented examples throughout history." Have America and the West already fallen so far that the future that is warned of for us as early as 2100, that includes the elite hunting down human beings, could become a reality far before they warned us it would? With the economy now heading towards freefall and evil spreading all around us as warned in these three recent stories from Susan Duclos on ANP, have we already arrived at a point where that crossover to barbarism is already upon us? It has been widely proven that the elite who are working to destroy America have a depopulation agenda in store for mankind so that they can get the population of the Earth down to their ideal number of 500 million as represented on the Georgia Guidestones. We have warned time and again that the elite will use food as a weapon upon the people and as we see now in Venezuela, a country without food quickly leads to widespread chaos. The fact that these elite would have no problem hunting down other humans and would actually pay to do so should come as no surprise to ANP readers who know that in this world, absolute evil exists and can be seen in many places all around us if one only looks hard enough to cut through the veil of deception that surrounds us. We're told it would likely take a "future 'captured in fear' scenario" that could lead to the sci-fi nightmare of human beings hunting other human beings down for sport (or food?) We'd venture to bet that it is already happening in small corners of the world where there is no media to broadcast it and nobody left after 'the games' to tell the world the truth. Ecological disasters mean not enough food or land to support the population and megarich tourists hunting the poor to keep the numbers down but as sport too. Wright, outlining his future vision, added: "During these activities the oppressive mega-rich carry out vacations to purposely slaughter humans, with the 'claimed' aim to reduce population size, but an element of perverse thrill and excitement was said to be fuelling the demand. "Due to the strain on resources for human survival the practice gradually became more recognisable and acceptable on the part of the wider population who form part of the wealthy-elite."

How the 'Brexit' Vote Could Impact Americans

By MORGAN WINSOR Jun 24, 2016, 1:03 PM ET

The so-called Brexit vote may seem far removed for most U.S. citizens, but the impact of Britain's exit from the European Union could affect Americans in more ways than one. About half of the American workforce participates in a company retirement plan, according to an analysis of data compiled by the Pew Charitable Trusts. If this includes you, then you’re one of the tens of thousands of people whose investments are at risk from the market turbulence. As Wall Street joins the global market selloff today, your 401(k) will decrease in value temporarily. The good news is that these retirement funds are long-term investments and should be able to weather the storm in the long run. ”No matter how old you are, we’re still looking to the markets to be going up ultimately,” Lauren Lyons Cole, a certified financial planner and personal finance editor at the International Business Times, said on a Facebook live video. “Today, [the markets] might be down 2 or 3 percent but that doesn’t mean you should sell everything – not by a long shot. You want to just keep steady and continue to watch it.” Your Mortgage American households and would-be homeowners will likely see mortgage rates and the cost of buying a house drop, at least in the short term. Investors are currently selling off riskier assets for safe havens, like U.S. Treasuries and gold. As demand for government debt soars, interest rates will fall, with the potential to cause mortgage rates to drop. "In the short term, the move by Britain will unsettle financial markets both in the U.S. and abroad, and likely lead investors to seek haven in safe assets outside of the U.K. and Europe," said Boston College economics professor Robert Murphy. "With a spike in demand for safe U.S. Treasury bonds, yields are likely to move downward. And as investors shift into dollar-denominated assets, the dollar will gain strength against the euro and the pound." The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 1.57 percent earlier today, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader data. The last time it was this low was in 2012 and mortgage rates followed suit. The average 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage has also sunk to nearly a three-year low in the past month, hovering around 3.7 percent. Financial analysts expect the Brexit vote to drive down rates even further in the coming weeks. “If you’re a borrower, don’t wait to lock your rate,” Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at Bankrate, told The Washington Post today. “As this opportunity may not last long.” At the current average rate, you’ll pay roughly $462 a month in principal and interest for every $100,000 you borrow, according to Bankrate. Your Business The U.S. dollar is surging in value in the exchange markets, which will drive up the cost for U.S. exports to the U.K. and elsewhere in Europe. This could bring down sales and profits for U.S.-based multinational companies, because the United Kingdom and the E.U. are huge export markets for the United States, totaling about $328 billion last year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Thirty firms in the S&P 500 generate more than 10 percent of their sales from the United Kingdom, according to data from FactSet Research. "With the E.U. being its largest trading partner, any slowdown in Europe will weaken growth in the U.S. over the near term," said Murphy, a former economist with the Clinton Administration. “Longer-term consequences of Brexit depend on how quickly the process of negotiating new trade and financial arrangements between Britain, the E.U., and other countries takes place. This surely will take several years, meaning that negative economic consequences are likely to be felt for some time.” Also, E.U. membership allows financial firms in the U.K. a “passport” to do business across the other 27 countries. That means American companies can do the same anywhere in the E.U. as long as they set up a branch or subsidiary in a member states. Forty percent of the world's top 250 multinational companies have their European headquarters in London, according to research by Deloitte. The loss of this “passport” will hit American businesses operating out of the U.K. Your Vacation Plans The International Monetary Fund has warned that a Brexit could force the U.K. into a recession. But as the British pound and other European currencies shed value against the U.S. dollar, that trip to London is looking more and more affordable. This means traveling to the U.K. and the rest of Europe will likely become considerably cheaper for U.S. citizens in the coming weeks.

Brexit Leaves Alarm Bells Ringing in Israel

By Yossi Mekelberg On 6/24/16 at 12:14 PM

The day after a tumultuous night, the United Kingdom woke up to a Brexit hangover. Months of fractious, even nasty, campaigning came to an end with a result that surprised even Leave voters themselves. It leaves the country and society divided, and in need of healing the deep rifts opened in the wake of the campaign and its aftermath. Many Britons up and down the country anxiously waited up all night for the results to be declared. Interest in this once-in-a-generation referendum, however, was not confined to Great Britain alone or even the EU, but far beyond. Israel might not be the first example that comes to mind as concerning itself with whether its former Mandatory power stays in or leaves the EU. Nevertheless, within Israel there was a strong, general curiosity about the referendum and more specifically a concern as to how it would affect the Jewish state. Israel has always had complex and even prickly relations with the European Union, mainly around the issue of peace with the Palestinians. From the Venice Declaration of 1980, which called for the right of Palestinians to self-determination, to the most recent French peace initiative, Europe has been seen as biased against Israel. Ironically, Israel is enjoying one of the most favorable trade and cultural agreements with this experimental supranational European entity. Hence, Israeli attitudes towards Brexit depend on whether one thinks it is good for the country to have a strong EU with Britain at the heart of it, or a weak one without it. Furthermore, views in Israel varied about the impact of Britain’s leaving the EU, from those who predicted almost no impact, to those who watched the situation with concern regarding the possibility of what would happen if Israel’s closest ally were to vote out. British Prime Minister David Cameron, in a last ditch attempt to convince members of the Jewish community to support the Remain campaign, told them rather bluntly: “Do you want Britain, Israel’s greatest friend, in there opposing boycotts, opposing the campaign for divestment and sanctions, or do you want us outside the room, powerless to effect the discussion that takes place?” Cameron appealed to a similar sentiment that I found prevalent in my most recent visit to Israel—that Israel needs Britain as a strong and supportive voice against those who are highly critical of Israel within the EU. The decision to leave and Cameron’s resignation come at the time when the mood in Brussels is that Israel’s expansion of settlements, or stand on not negotiating peace with the Palestinians, should no longer go unpunished. Interestingly enough, those close to the settlement movement in the West Bank urged Israelis with a right to vote in the referendum to support leaving the EU. For the Right in Israel it is in the country’s best interest to see a divided and weak European Union with little impact on the future of the occupied territories, in terms of financial aid to the Palestinians and especially a final status agreement. But they should be careful what they wish for in the name of their short-term partisan interest. Regardless, if one is a fan of the soon-to-be-former PM Cameron, he is one of the friendliest British leaders towards Israel in history. Whether inside or outside the European Union, a powerful and prosperous U.K. is important for Israel due to the close economic, strategic, scientific and cultural cooperation between the two. Great Britain is Israel’s chief trade partner on the continent and if its economy suffers as a result of leaving the EU, the ripple effect will be felt in Israel too. Despite growing calls in the U.K. and outside for an academic boycott on Israel, for instance, recently over 350 leading Israeli and British medical researchers met at the University of Oxford in the largest bilateral gathering in years. With the absence of British influence in Europe, Israel is going to be more vulnerable not only to a formal BDS but also the more subtle slowdown in collaboration on wide range of issues. Lastly, Israel as a Jewish state has a sense of responsibility towards world Jewry. Brexit represents, among other phenomena, the rise of nationalism not only in Britain, but across the entire continent. Far-right parties, such as the National Front in France or the Northern League in Italy, expressed their joy at the outcome of the British referendum and demanded similar referenda in their own countries. The rise of nationalism in Europe, of which Brexit is one manifestation, is not a good sign for minorities in the continent, especially for the Jewish minority and their very particular history of persecution. All considered, the British decision that its future lies outside the EU will raise a number of alarm bells among the decision makers in Jerusalem, especially knowing that there is very little they can do about it. Prof. Yossi Mekelberg is the head of the International Relations & Social Sciences Programme at Regent’s University London and associate fellow of the MENA Programme at Chatham House.

Deadlocked Supreme Court blocks Obama on immigration

By Lydia Wheeler and Jordan Fabian - 06/23/16 10:41 AM EDT

The Supreme Court dealt a critical blow to President Obama's immigration policies on Thursday, deadlocking in a 4-4 decision over two controversial programs the White House wants to implement. The tied vote leaves in place a lower court ruling that blocks a program allowing undocumented immigrants who are parents of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents to remain in the United States for three years and apply for work permits. It also prevents the administration from otherwise expanding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program issued by Obama in 2012. This is the most prominent Supreme Court case to stall in a 4-4 tie, and it raises the stakes further in this fall's presidential election. After Justice Antonin Scalia died in February, Obama nominated federal Judge Merrick Garland to the court. But Senate Republicans, even before that nomination, said they would not hold a vote or a hearing for anyone nominated by Obama, arguing the pivotal vote on the high court should be determined by the next president. The White House and Democrats in Congress have howled in rage over that move, and Thursday's decision will increase tensions over the Senate blockade. Obama in an appearance from the White House press briefing room decried what he called the "lack" of a decision by the eight-justice court. “The fact the Supreme Court wasn’t able to issue a decision today doesn’t just set the system back even further, it takes us further back from the country we want to be," he said. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) blasted the GOP Senate majority for failing to consider Garland in comments on the Supreme Court's steps. "This 4-4 decision is clear evidence we need nine justices on the court," Durbin said. Democratic Party standard-bearer Hillary Clinton has backed the president’s actions and said she would go even further as president to reshape immigration policy. "Today’s deadlocked decision from the Supreme Court is unacceptable, and shows us all just how high the stakes are in this election,” she said in a statement. Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump has pledged to place tough new restrictions on illegal immigration, including the construction of a massive wall along the U.S.'s southern border that he says Mexico will pay for. Republicans hailed the high court’s vote. “The Supreme Court’s ruling makes the president’s executive action on immigration null and void,” Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said in a statement. “The Constitution is clear: The president is not permitted to write laws — only Congress is. This is another major victory in our fight to restore the separation of powers.” Thursday's action does not affect the original DACA decision by Obama that allows certain children who entered or stayed in the United States illegally to remain in the country and apply for work permits. Twenty-six Republican-led states sued the federal government over the expansion of that program, as well as the new program for parents, after the president issued fresh executive actions in November 2014. The states claimed they would be burdened by having to spend more on public services like healthcare, law enforcement and education if undocumented parents of both American citizens and legal permanent residents were allowed to stay in the country. Texas, specifically, said it would be hurt by having to issue more driver's licenses, a benefit that’s now subsidized. Supporters of the administration argued that Texas could pass the added costs for driver’s licenses on to residents. They claim the challenging states actually stand to make money off Obama’s programs from an increase in tax contributions. A three-judge panel from a federal appeals court in New Orleans said in a split decision the Obama administration lacked the legal power to shield more than 4 million undocumented immigrants from deportation and grant them work permits. It handed a nationwide injunction preventing the administration from putting the programs into place. By failing to provide a new ruling on that decision, the Supreme Court's action on Thursday leaves it in place. The actual lawsuit suit filed by the 26 states is still working its way through the court system. When Obama took the action to expand his immigration programs, it was part of a last-ditch effort to take action after Congress failed to pass a sweeping overhaul of nation’s immigration system that would have offered a path to citizenship for millions of people living in the country illegally. Immigrant rights activists derided Obama as the “deporter in chief” for ramping up the pace of deportations during his first term. Since then, he’s taken steps to narrow the focus of immigration enforcement, and his executive actions were seen as a centerpiece of his push to reverse that trend.

Pentagon ban on transgender troops 'likely' to be lifted next month

Published June 25, 2016 FoxNews.com

The Pentagon is "likely" to repeal its ban on transgender service members next month, defense officials told Fox News Friday, even as one report claimed an announcement could happen as soon as next week. According to USA Today, top personnel officials could meet as soon as Monday to finalize details of the plan. Deputy Defense Secretary Bob Wolk would sign off on the plan and Defense Secretary Ash Carter would give his final approval shortly before the July 4 weekend. Pentagon officials would not confirm the USA Today report's timetable to Fox News, but spokesman Peter Cook told reporters earlier this week that a decision on the matter was coming "soon." "I can tell you that we have made progress," said Cook. "[Carter] has indicated that he expects to make a final decision soon, and that's exactly where we are." Late Friday, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, accused Carter of putting "the political agenda of a departing administration ahead of the military’s readiness crisis." Carter announced last year that the ban on transgender troops serving openly would be lifted unless it was proven that such an action would have a negative "impact on military effectiveness and readiness." In his statement, Thornberry said Carter had failed to answer a series of questions posed by the committee at the time of Carter's initial announcement, including the cost of modifying barracks and bathroom facilities. The Defense Department currently disqualifies transgender troops from the service on medical grounds. USA Today also reported that several issues related to repealing the transgender ban have caused contention at the Pentagon, most notably how long troops would need to serve before being eligible for gender reassignment surgery. Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson contributed to this report.

President Obama Refuses to Protect Californians' Religious Freedom

12:00PM EDT 6/22/2016 Bob Eschliman

U.S. Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), co-chair of the Bipartisan Congressional Pro-Life Caucus, reacted sternly Tuesday evening to news the Obama administration is now "reinterpreting" the Weldon Amendment to allow California's mandate that all insurance companies pay for abortion and abortion-inducing drugs to continue. Smith said the move was a "new low" for the administration. "This means that Californians, including churches, will continue to be forced to pay for elective abortions in their insurance plans," he said. "The Weldon amendment—named for the Florida Congressman Dave Weldon who authored it—has been renewed and signed into law annually, including by President Obama. "The Weldon Amendment protects against state-imposed abortion mandates, but Obama's administration has again shown blatant disregard for the rule of law." The Weldon Amendment is an annual appropriations rider, signed into law consistently since 2004, which protects against state-imposed discrimination on the basis of declining to pay for or participate in abortion. Since August of 2014, California has mandated that all churches in the state must cover all abortions in their insurance plans—even in plans where abortion had previously been excluded. Numerous churches filed complaints with the HHS Office of Civil Rights seeking enforcement of the Weldon Amendment. Tuesday, the HHS Office of Civil Rights released the results of its investigation into the California mandate, stating it "found no violation of the Weldon Amendment and is closing this matter without further action." Smith said the decision illustrates "the far reaches of Obama's radical pro-abortion ideology" by forcing churches and communities of faith that have pro-life convictions to "participate in and pay for a practice that dismembers and chemically poisons unborn children." "Congress must not let this discrimination stand," he said. "We must take this issue out of the hands of the Obama administration by moving enforcement of current conscience protections to the courts. Congress needs to enact legislation so churches and other victims have a 'private right of action' so they can have their day in court." Draw closer to God.

Obama creates first national gay rights monument

By Devin Henry - 06/24/16 12:00 PM EDT

President Obama has established a new national monument at New York’s Stonewall Inn, the first such dedication marking the gay rights movement in the United States. The Stonewall Inn is a Greenwich Village gay bar and the site of a police raid and subsequent riots in 1969 that helped ignite the American gay rights movement. In a White House video released Friday, Obama said that movement “ultimately became an integral part of America.” Naming a monument at Stonewall Inn as a national monument has been in the works for months. But its official commemoration on Friday comes as America’s LGBT community reels from the mass shooting that killed 49 people at an Orlando gay nightclub earlier this month. That attack, categorized by federal officials as both a hate crime and terrorist attack, has added fuel to the debate over federal legal protections for the LGBT community that had already played out publicly and acrimoniously in the U.S. House this year. It also brought the gay rights movement directly into the political debate over guns: the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s biggest LGBT advocacy group, announced last week that it would advocate for stricter gun control measure after the shooting. The Stonewall designation is part of an Obama administration effort to highlight the LGBT rights movement around the country. The Department of Interior announced in May 2014 that it would conduct a “theme study” of important LGBT sites around the United States. It has named nine sites historical landmarks or added them to the National Register of Historic Places since then. “Stonewall will be our first national monument to tell the story of the struggle for LGBT rights,” Obama said in the video. “I believe our national parks should reflect the full story of our country: the richness and diversity and uniquely American spirit that has always defined us, that we are stronger together, that out of many, we are one.” Interior Secretary and National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis will attend a dedication ceremony for the monument — in neighboring Christopher Park — on Monday. —This post was updated at 2:00 p.m.

NWO Wounded And Backs Against The Wall - Will Trump Deal Its Death Blow? 'Globalists To Launch Wave Of False Flags' To Stop The Liberty Movement

June 25, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

Long called 'conspiracy theory', a term invented by the CIA in 1967 to attack anyone who questions the 'official narrative', the 'new world order' and 'global elite' have been called out and rebuffed in huge ways in recent days, including a Brexit which sees those living in Great Britain taking their country back as well as the recent shock to Barack Obama's 'open doors to terrorists' immigration policy that was dealt a death blow by the US Supreme Court only days ago. As we hear in the first of two videos below from Infowars, the 'nwo' is wounded, and a presidency of Donald Trump would be THE opportunity to deal it a final death blow for our generation if not for all of time. Will Americans get a chance to take back our country from the globalist forces that have been attempting to rip our country away from us for many years with many warning that Barack Obama is leading the treasonous way? Susan Duclos told us in a story yesterday on ANP, after Brexit, the 'global elite' are now freaking out in panic and as we hear in the 2nd video below from Infowars and David Knight, the globalists are also unleashing a wave of false flags across the US in a last-ditch attempt to stop the liberty movement and Donald Trump. The only way that they can be successful is if Americans continue to stay dumbed down to false flag terrorism and the very real danger that Islam poses to so-called 'moderate' Muslims and anybody else not Islamic worldwide as ISIS terrorists continue global jihad. We have long warned that the globalists will never allow an 'America-1st' president to take office and we expect that they'll probably pull out all stops in an attempt to put an end to the Trump phenomenon, one way or another. As we were asked to do in a story from TruNews recently linked to on the website of Steve Quayle, if we are Christians, we should be praying for the health and safety of Donald Trump as according to Dr. James Dobson, Founder of Focus on the Family and a famous evangelical, Donald Trump has accepted Jesus into his heart and his life. Nearly two years ago, Barack Obama warned that 'there is not a force on Earth' that could stop his 'open doors to terrorists' immigration policy though now that it appears that his words have met up against 'that force', the US Supreme Court, which has told Obama he and his administration have stepped way over the line with his powers. Shouldn't a president or anyone else in America who are enabling and aiding terrorists in this country be held responsible for those decisions when they lead to situations like what happened in San Bernardino, California or Orlando, Florida, after Hillary Clinton's State Department blocked investigations into Omar Mateen's mosque? Isn't Hillary directly responsible for that 'alleged' massacre since her State Department could have stopped it if they'd followed through on their investigation? As we learned in this new story from All-Self-Sustained, this terrorist enabler has seemingly declared war against the American people with what they call a 'terrifying move against the American people,' a huge number of armed federal agents that have given him 'his own private army' that he told us years ago he was seeking to build. Telling us within this story that Obama's own private Army is even bigger than the US Marine Corps leads us to ask, are Obama and the rapidly failing 'new world order' planning on using this 'private army' against the American people in a last-ditch attempt to keep America part of the globalists playground, as well as keeping this country a terrorist breeding ground, rapidly expanding on Obama's watch? As we're told in the final video below, the globalists will likely attempt to pull out every last ditch effort and weapon in their arsenal in an attempt to keep control of our nation. Like a wounded animal with its back against the wall, the globalists now have very little to lose with their dreams of world domination crumbling, a rapidly awakening Western populace, and Donald Trump in the wings, ready to help Americans take our country back from the forces who have long been plotting against us. Will the globalists be successful in using their ultimate 'false flag' weapon, the ISIS terrorists that Hillary and Obama along with John McCain were responsible for arming, against us? Whether or not they soon pull off their 'final false flag' that leads to an America back under their thumb and the ever present boot stomping upon a human face forever or Americans finally rise up, once and for all, and take our country back, the answer is clear....only time will tell. This story of America fighting, once again, for freedom against globalist overlords is one of the most important stories in this day and age of humanity's fight for justice against this global cabal intent on forever enslaving the entire human populace. While Britain has temporarily won against globalists and tyranny, with Brexit, Americas fate hangs in the balance with an election only months away... and because of that...this story...will be continued. It's America's turn to take back our country's sovereignty now.

EXCLUSIVE AUDIO: Eyewitness confirms allegations that migrants raped five-year-old Idaho girl

June 22, 2016 Faith GoldyRebel Host

A five-year-old girl raped by Muslim migrant boys in America and the mainstream media’s first instinct is to dismiss the story and label local residents racist bigots and "Islamophobes"? The "don’t ask, don’t tell" doctrine on the refugee file is becoming painfully routine— but, playing politics over the alleged rape of a five year would seem unethical and indefensible. And yet, this week, that is exactly what happened. News out of an apartment complex in Twin Falls, Idaho: A five-year-old girl sexually assaulted in a laundry room by two refugee boys as a third boy looked on, filming the attack. An eighty-nine-year-old neighbour saw suspicious activity and approached the area to become eye witness to what can only be described as a fearful scene. Immediately, local papers rushed to discredit the story as false claims being spread to incite anti-refugee sentiment. And their narrative was bolstered the County Prosecutor who said there had been no Syrians, no knife, and no gang-rape. Well, just because the mainstream media was unwilling to follow up, doesn’t mean we here at The Rebel were about to ignore or downplay the broader allegations at the heart of this story. After one news outlet published the name of the alert eighty-nine year old who became eye witness to the alleged incident, I gave that woman, Jolene Payne, a call. WATCH my exclusive report about the incident and my conversation with Jolene Payne. According to Ms. Payne's account, there were three naked migrant boys in the laundry room with the naked five year old girl, who was covered in urine, and a fourth migrant boy stood outside filming the attack, which was what drew her to the scene. Ms. Payne does not know where the boys are from specifically but confirmed they were from migrant families. To be sure, according the the U-S State Department’s Refugee Processing Centre, Twin Falls Idaho has received over three hundred migrants from Iraq and over one hundred and sixty Sudanese migrants, while Idaho has received just shy of sixty Syrian migrants since war broke out there in 2011. Ms Payne, a former nurse, told me she had seen a lot in her long life but nothing like this. Ms. Payne also told me there was no knife involved, but that people might be confused because of another event in Twin Falls not long ago, which involved another migrant boy who pulled a knife on another little American girl. Ms Payne, referred to as "Grandma Jo" by the neighbourhood children, answered all my questions with consistency and a confident recollection of the facts. Her story did not sway. There was only one question I had left: Was there any evidence the five year old girl had been raped? Here’s what she told me:

Payne: Her dad and mother told me. And I told them, “Okay.” Yeah, that’s what they said at the hospital.

Goldy: So, the father and the mother told you that the little five-year-old girl had been raped?

Payne: Yeah, ‘cos they took her to the hospital in the ambulance and she was checked.

According to Ms Payne’s account, doctors told this little girl’s parents their five-year-old daughter had been raped. As stated in Islam’s Holy Book, the Quran, a woman’s testimony is only worth half that of a man’s and a woman needs four witnesses to prove a rape occurred. Often times, in Muslim countries, rape victims are found to be at fault. But here in North America, we aren’t ruled by Sharia law. And, despite bleats from the Left, there is no rape culture in the West. In America, rapists are charged, tried, and convicted based on evidence and the rule of law. In the wake of the Orlando terrorist attack, political correctness concealed the shooter’s Islamist motives and left the gay community in the dark. I pray, in the wake of the Idaho attack, political correctness does not obscure real rape culture to leave this little girl re-victimized, but brings her migrant attackers to justice so that they might never re-offend. (NOTE: This isn't the first time I've had to follow up on dismissed allegations of child abuse where the perpetrators were Muslim migrant children -- I did so in Halifax earlier this year.)

Obama Bashes Whitey in Speech at Entrepreneurship Summit (Video)

Jim Hoft Jun 24th, 2016 2:23 pm 261 Comments

Barack Obama spoke at the 2016 Global Entrepreneurship Summit Friday in Palo Alto, California. This was his first speech after the Brexit vote left another mark on his years of failed leadership at home and abroad. Obama: When people can start their own businesses it helps people and families succeed… It offers a positive path for young people seeking to make something of themselves and can empower people who previously have been locked out of the existing social order, women, minorities, others who aren’t part of the old boys network. Did you catch that? According to Obama only women and minorities aren’t part of the “good old boy” networks – run by white men. He must believe ALL WHITE MEN are openly accepted in all the “good old boys” networks. According to Obama, all white men are granted privileges and given access not because of their work but because of their skin color. Isn’t that racist? This man is so offensive – and ignorant. Of course, the liberal media won’t say anything because they believe it is perfectly acceptable to single out and abuse white men.

Trump: America has Chance to ‘reject rule by global elite’

Trump on Brexit: "Basically, they took back their county”

Adan Salazar - June 24, 2016

Presidential candidate Donald Trump on Friday congratulated the UK for voting to assert its independence from the European Union, and encouraged the American people in November to also assert their independence from the “global elite.” Following the British vote to exit the EU, Trump said the election results marked a shift toward more nationalistic tendencies.

Obama Declares WAR On America With TERRIFYING Move Against The People

There’s little question whether or not we live in troubled times, but a move from the Obama administration has many people questioning the motive behind it and whether or not it’s preparing for war with the people. As we all know, it’s illegal for our military to carry out any operations on our homeland against the American people. Of course, even if such an illegal order was given, our brave men and women who serve would ignore it anyway, as would many who served in the National Guard, which makes one wonder; why are our federal bureaucracies so heavily armed? A new report from Open the Books, a taxpayer watchdog group, found that for the first time in American history, there’s more armed domestic federal government employees than there are members of the Marine Corps, and that number is steadily rising. The Washington Free Beacon has more: There are now more non-military government employees who carry guns than there are U.S. Marines, according to a new report. Open the Books, a taxpayer watchdog group, released a study Wednesday that finds domestic government agencies continue to grow their stockpiles of military-style weapons, as Democrats sat on the House floor calling for more restrictions on what guns American citizens can buy. The “Militarization of America” report found civilian agencies spent $1.48 billion on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment between 2006 and 2014. Examples include IRS agents with AR-15s, and EPA bureaucrats wearing camouflage. “Regulatory enforcement within administrative agencies now carries the might of military-style equipment and weapons,” Open the Books said. “For example, the Food and Drug Administration includes 183 armed ‘special agents,’ a 50 percent increase over the ten years from 1998-2008. At Health and Human Services (HHS), ‘Special Office of Inspector General Agents’ are now trained with sophisticated weaponry by the same contractors who train our military special forces troops.” The same report found that there’s over 200,000 armed non-military federal officers with arrest capability, and they have the same weaponry that the military uses. So what’s it all for? If you remember, on July 2, 2008, then-presidential candidate, Barack Obama said, “We cannot rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We gotta have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.” Perhaps that offers us some clues as to why these agencies aren’t relying on local police like they used to. So is Obama now arming these agencies so they become the domestic military force that he said we needed back in 2008? At the end of September 2015, Pope Francis boarded a plane back to the Vatican after and extremely controversial trip to America. Shortly after he left, Obama was back in the public eye, attacking religious freedom. Later that night, at a Democratic National Committee-sponsored event in New York, promoted as a “LGBT Gala,” Obama took the stage. During his speech, he warned Christians throughout the country that religious freedom was not as important as gay rights. “We affirm that we cherish our religious freedom and are profoundly respectful of religious traditions,” the POTUS said. “But we also have to say clearly that our religious freedom doesn’t grant us the freedom to deny our fellow Americans their constitutional rights.” Obama criticized Christian groups for their “genuine concerns.” Still, he insisted that the issue was being pushed by Republicans, who were simply trying to acquire more votes. Fast forward to today, and it is clear that Obama is more than happy to throw out our Constitutional rights entirely as long as he gets more votes for his anti-gun agenda. It is ironic that Obama ignores the constitution when it comes to our gun rights, but clings on to it to push his LGBT agenda. “America has left the leaders of the Republican Party behind,” Obama said during his speech in September, before lashing out at then-candidates Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, and Mike Huckabee. It is very clear from Obama’s actions that the US citizens needs to be disarmed while a new army (that will obey his demands) is growing every day. Where do you think his actions will lead? Well, that remains to be seen, but this much is for certain; these agencies don’t need this kind of weaponry given the jobs they’re tasked with, so something sinister appears to be happening behind the scenes.

'It's one of the most devastating I've ever seen': California wildfire kills an elderly couple, destroys 80 homes, threatens 1,500 more and triggers evacuation

Fire has broken out at Lake Isabella, near Bakersfield in central California

Several thousand people have been told to evacuate as flames spread

Elderly couple trying to flee from flames were overcome with smoke and killed, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said

By Associated Press and Chris Summers For Mailonline Published: 01:30 EST, 24 June 2016 | Updated: 01:10 EST, 25 June 2016

A deadly wildfire that roared through dry brush and trees in the mountains of central California gave residents little time to flee as flames burned dozens of homes to the ground, propane tanks exploded, and smoke obscured the path to safety. An elderly couple trying to flee from the flames were overcome with smoke outside of their house and killed, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said. Their bodies were found Friday near Lake Isabella, a popular recreation area east of Bakersfield that was ravaged by wind-whipped flames, said Phil Neufeld, a county fire spokesman. At least 80 houses were destroyed in the southern Sierra Nevada as the fire burned out of control across nearly 47 square miles, leveling neighborhoods and forcing thousands of people to flee from fast-moving flames. The names of the two dead have not been released. The sheriff said his department hasn't been able to search very extensively and would be looking through burned homes with cadaver dogs seeking more possible victims. David Klippel, 78, a retired police officer, said he didn't see much of a threat after receiving an automated call advising him to leave. That changed dramatically within an hour Thursday afternoon. 'I've never been so close to a fast-moving, ferocious fire. It was unbelievable,' said Klippel, who later learned his house had caught fire. 'I almost didn't have time to get out.' Neighborhoods of mobile homes were charred to their foundations. Gusty winds pushed the flames and smoke farther into drought-starved terrain. The fire is 5 per cent contained. 'The forces of nature collided with a spark,' Kern County Fire Chief Brian Marshall said. 'The mountainous terrain, five years of drought and wind gusts of over 20 mph all drove a fire over 11 miles in 13 hours.' Scorching heat and tinder-dry conditions across the West have contributed to massive wildfires in the past week that have destroyed properties and sent residents to seek shelter and hope for the best. Laura Rogers was one of those who thought she'd never see her home or her brother's home again. Instead, she was lucky to find both standing in a neighborhood of mobile homes that was devastated. 'I was sure this place was gone last night,' Rogers said through tears as she gestured at the destruction around her. 'I mean look at this, I can't believe it. It's like a scary movie.' The downspout of her brother's home was melted on the ground, but the structure was intact. Dozens of other homes were gone, left in piles of charred sheet metal and cinderblock foundations. Scorched tricycles, air conditioners and TV dishes littered the landscape. Burned-out cars sat on tireless rims and leafless trees poked from barren, blackened dirt. The California blaze erupted quickly, putting some 1,500 homes in jeopardy. Three firefighters suffered from smoke inhalation. Crews faced a 'firefight of epic proportions' as they tried to protect neighborhoods, Marshall said. Officials said they expect to find many more homes destroyed as the smoke clears and they do a more thorough check of smoldering neighborhoods. Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency, freeing up money and resources to fight the fire and cleanup its aftermath. It also temporarily suspends some state regulations and waives fees as a way to ease the return of evacuees and those who have lost homes. Dramatic video from Thursday night showed homes fully engulfed and others already gone as propane tanks flared up and popped. Flames glowing in the steep, rocky hillsides were reflected on the lake. Residents described a frantic flight from communities surrounding the lake, a dammed section of the Kern River that is a destination for boating, fishing, rafting, hiking and camping. Cachet Kirby, 22, of Mount Mesa and her neighbors grabbed clothes, blankets and their dogs and fled through thick smoke as flames charged down the slopes. 'It was to the point you couldn't see, you couldn't breathe,' she said. She and others, exhausted Friday morning after little sleep in shelters and cars, were desperate for information about their homes. 'We could have gotten lucky and the wind shifted, or our house could be burned down,' Kirby said. Cellphone service was cut off in many areas, contributing to the anxieties. Very low humidity and gusty winds of up to 55 mph could worsen the blaze that broke out amid high temperatures and climbed over at least three ridges into hillside neighborhoods. Kern County fire captain Tyler Townsend said: 'I've never been in a wildland fire where I've seen so many homes burn. It's one of the most devastating I've ever seen.' Capt Townsend said many of the houses in the area have propane tanks, adding to the danger. Several thousand people were told to evacuate in Bella Vista, South Fork, Weldon, Onyx, Lakeland Estates, Mountain Mesa, South Lake, Squirrel Valley, and Yankee Canyon. But some have refused to leave their homes. Hillside homes along dirt roads were consumed by heavy flames in Squirrel Mountain Valley, a community of about 500 people. Smoky haze could be seen for miles around, and orange flames lit the evening air as planes and helicopters dropped brightly colored flame retardant on the blaze. Elsewhere in the state, cooler weather helped crews fighting two fires that burned more than eight square miles of chaparral and brush in the Angeles National Forest and foothill communities northeast of Los Angeles. More than 1,300 homes in Duarte and Azusa were evacuated, but half have been allowed back. Near the Mexican border in San Diego County, an 11-square-mile fire burned down five homes.

'Clock is ticking' for megaquake in Missouri that could cause 'all hell to break loose' across Middle America

The New Madrid Seismic Zone is 150 miles long

Experts say a quake would impact seven states - Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi

By Mark Prigg For Dailymail.com Published: 12:24 EST, 24 June 2016 | Updated: 15:46 EST, 24 June 2016

While San Andreas and Cascadia are well known for their potential to cause a megaquakes, researchers have warned a little known fault in the midwest is also long overdue a tremor. The New Madrid Seismic Zone is 150 miles long, and experts say a quake would impact seven states - Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi. They claim 'all hell would break loose,' with 715,000 buildings damaged and 2.6m people left without power. The Mid-America Earthquake Center at the University of Illinois released a report in 2009, which suggested the effects of a force seven or stronger quake from the fault line. Amr Elnashai, the study's lead author, wrote 'All hell will break loose.' The 150-mile (240 km) long fault system, which extends into five states, stretches southward from Cairo, Illinois; through Hayti, Caruthersville and New Madrid in Missouri; through Blytheville into Marked Tree in Arkansas. It also covers a part of West Tennessee, near Reelfoot Lake, extending southeast into Dyersburg. It is southwest of the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone. Most of the seismicity is located between 3 and 15 miles (4.8 and 24.1 km) beneath the Earth's surface, researchers believe. The area has not seen significant earthquakes for more than 200 years. In the winter of 1811 and 1812 there were three earthquakes of magnitude 7 - as high as 7.7 - and a series of aftershocks across the American Midwest.

West Virginia flooding, worst in '100 years,' leaves at least 23 dead, including two children

BY David Boroff NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Updated: Saturday, June 25, 2016, 12:04 AM

Some of the worst flooding in West Virginia "in 100 years" has left at least 23 people dead, including two children. Tens of thousands of residents were left without power and many roads were impassable after nine inches of rain came down on Thursday, officials said. The hardest hit counties include Greenbrier, Nicholas, Fayette, Kanawha and Webster. In Greenbrier, a flaming house could be seen floating down a creek. Approximately 100 homes have been damaged, and the death toll rose to 23 by Friday night, WCBH-TV reported. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin said that there had been 9 inches of rain in the state, adding, "It's been a long 24 hours, and the next 24 hours, and the next 24 hours may not be an easier." Tornado kills 51 people, destroys numerous buildings in China His address came as the deluge brought unprecedented damage to the Mountain State. "Roads destroyed, bridges out, homes burned down, washed off foundations," Greenbrier County Sheriff Jan Cahill said. "Multiple sections of highway just missing. Pavement just peeled off like a banana. I've never seen anything like that." An 8-year-old boy and a 4-year-old boy who were swept away in different counties, authorities said. The death toll was expected to increase, said Cahill, who described "complete chaos" in his county. "Today's just an accountability mission, trying to verify where everybody's at and follow up on missing person tips," Cahill said. "It's really hard to navigate around because there's just a ton of debris. We've even had rescuers that had to be rescued."

Two earthquakes jolt Ecuador just a month after quake killed 661 The body of 8-year-old Emanual Williams, known as "Manny," was found after he fell into Big Wheeling Creek on Thursday, said Wheeling pastor Harry Croft. Manny's mother told him that she was walking across the creek with her son and daughter because Manny wanted to catch crayfish. One of the kids slipped, and the mother grabbed both the boy and his sister in the swift current. "She lost her grip on Manny," the pastor said. The 4-year-old boy, identified by NBC News as Edward McMillion, was found about a quarter mile from where he fell into a creek, which usually runs about ankle deep but rose to about 6 feet deep when Jackson County was pounded with rain. W. Va. man accused of killing 3 victims over firewood arrested The boy was outside with his grandfather, who jumped in after the boy but the water was rushing too quickly. Neighbors, alerted by screams, tried to help save the boy but were also unable to reach him. Belinda Scott had fled to the attic after smelling gas, though her house then blew up and killed her two dogs. She held on to a tree for more than four hours before being rescued, and is currently hospitalized with burns on 67% of her body, her husband Ronnie said. A state of emergency was issued Thursday for 44 of the 55 counties in the state. Tomblin authorized the deployment of up to 200 members of the West Virginia National Guard to help local emergency responders. N.J., Brooklyn kin of dead Fort Hood soldiers recall loved ones "We had swift water rescue teams out until late last night and back out again his morning literally rescuing people from rooftops and upper stories of houses," he said. One of those rescued from the top of his roof was Paul Moya, who is diabetic. "I'm still shaking," he told CBS News from the hospital. "I really just want to break down and cry right now. All I could see was the homes burning and the electrical poles burning. I think I could say that now I was scared." “We surely need your prayers, because there’s a lot of people hurting right now,” Greenbrier Resort owner Jim Justice told The Weather Channel. Pro golfer Bubba Watson was at the resort and tweeted photos of entire holes underwater: "Prayers for @The_Greenbrier & surrounding areas. We are without power & it's still raining. Never seen this much rain! #WestVirginiaBeSafe." Rescue crews on Friday began evacuating approximately 500 people trapped by high water at the Crossings Mall in Elkview. Eric Blackshire was able to get to safety when volunteer firefighters used a rope to guide people down a hillside. "It was kind of like a hurricane party. I guess you could call it a flood party. There were lots of beers being drank last night," he said. Kanawha County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Brian Humphreys said a temporary bridge may be needed to get everyone out. Richwood Mayor Robert Johnson said there was extensive damage to his city. "We pretty much live in a bowl, and the bowl filled with water, certainly," he said. Some areas were looking at flooding "that's going to be the worst in 100 years," said Chris Stadelman, Tomblin's communications director. "My mother-in-law has lived here for 80 years, and this never happened before," Mark Burgess of Elkview told NBC News. "There is nothing you can do. We can call for help if it's too deep, but it's OK right now." A dam at Summit Lake was operating normally but was being watched closely, the Gazette Mail reported. "The dam is still there. It is still functioning the way it is supposed to function," Ray Torres, deputy forest supervisor at the U.S. Forest Service headquarters in Elkins, told the paper. Across the state line, the crisis is nearly as dire in Virginia. Gov. Terry McAuliffe declared a state of emergency due to the flooding in Alleghany County and Covington. The Virginia Department of Transportation warns that more than a dozen Alleghany County roads were closed Friday morning. There were approximately 1,700 customers without power statewide. "It's really bad. There's a raging river," Alleghany County Chief Sheriff's Deputy Matt Bowser told NBC News. "There's 500-gallon oil tanks and trash cans and gas cans and tree trunks floating down the river where people's backyards are. You can see people in the second-story windows waiting to be evacuated." With News Wire Services With TOBIAS SALINGER

CNN Talking Head, Fareed Zakaria, Kicked into Touch by Russia’s President Putin

June 24, 2016 By Vanessa Beeley 5 Comments Vanessa Beeley 21st Century Wire

In October 2015, Council on Foreign Relations member and CNN talking head, Fareed Zakaria, made the following statement on his blog that aptly demonstrated the yawning chasm that exists between Whitehouse media mouthpieces and the reality of the war against Syria fomented and fuelled on all fronts by a US government protecting its geopolitical interests and those of its allies in the region in the only way it understands, via “regime change” “If defeating the Islamic State is important, then it has to become the overriding priority, allying with any outside forces that will join the fight. If Assad falls and jihadis take Damascus, that would be worse than if Assad stays. This doesn’t mean providing Assad with any support, but allowing him to create an Alawite enclave in Syria, of a kind that is already forming. The Kurds and moderate Syrians are creating their own safe spaces as well. Even if the civil war ends and a country called Syria remains, these groups will not live all intermingled again.” “So far in Syria, the West has combined maximalist, uncompromising rhetoric with minimalist, ineffective efforts. It is the yawning gap between the two that is making Vladimir Putin look smart.” ~ Fareed Zakaria In this mind-boggling display of that all too familiar American exceptionalism, the attributes of any world statesperson being entirely dependent upon their reflection in the US mirror, Zakaria set himself up for a crashing fall. That fall came when Zakaria was invited to moderate a panel discussion at Saint Petersburg Economic Forum, which ran from June 16th to June 18th of this year. Present on stage were, Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, President Putin, and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. Putin throughout the interview manages Zakaria with his usual adroit and intelligent responses. However, when Zakaria confronts Putin with reference to his alleged comments on Trump, we see the full force of Putin’s razor sharp wit and intellect turned against the CNN frontman with devastating effect. The quote that Zakaria refers to is taken from The Hill and Political Insider among others: Russian President Vladimir Putin had kind words for his “stablemate” Donald Trump during an annual end-of-the-year Q&A session in Moscow. “[Donald Trump is] a really brilliant and talented person, without any doubt,” [Vladimir] Putin told reporters, according to a translation by Interfax. “It’s not our job to judge his qualities, that’s a job for American voters, but he’s the absolute leader in the presidential race.” [emphasis added] Zakaria with the smugness of certainty in his information asks Putin if he stands by his opinion of Trump. Putin responds with the certainty that comes from the experience of dealing with propagandists. He clears his throat and projects the sardonic look that he is expert at which illicits a ripple of laughter from his audience and fellow guests. Putin: “You are very well known in our country Mr Zakaria, and not only as a presenter with one of the world’s largest TV networks but also as an intellectual, so let me ask you, why do you keep distorting facts? The journalist tramples upon the analyst expert in you. What I said was that Mr Trump is a flamboyant, colourful, bright personality but isnt he flamboyant? He is, and there is nothing more to add. What I really like about him, and I very much welcome that, is Mr Trump said he would be willing to restore a fully fledged relationship between Russia and the US [applause]. I think everyone would be happy, wouldnt you? ” The Zakaria grimace speaks volumes… ZAKARIA: Turning noticeably red. The interview in full is a further demonstration of how Russia is stealing the march on its US rivals in every sense, diplomatically, politically and militarily in Syria. While our world leaders and representatives in the west trip over their own lies, Russian, Syrian and Iranian statesmen and women maintain a dignity, integrity and intellectual prowess that is captivating to watch. Here is the panel discussion in full, enjoy the second slap down regarding Putin’s working with Hilary Clinton: Last fall, another monolithic establishment media outlet, the BBC, dispatched its own institutional set-piece, John Simpson, to St. Petersberg in order to publicly confront Russia’s Putin. The results were similar that of CNN’s Zakaria, as Putin skillfully deconstructed Simpson’s own dry Council of Foreign Relations and UK Foreign Office talking points and one-sided world view. Watch that embarrassing exchange here:

Hussein Obama, 50; America, 0:More Adventures in Multiculturalism

Posted on June 16, 2016 by Fred Reed

Orlando? So what else is new? Why the excitement? I am puzzled that everyone is distraught over a perfectly ordinary act of terrorism by a perfectly ordinary Muslim terrorist. We have seen these attacks before and will see them again. They grow monotonous, like car crashes. They are as interesting as a commercial break. Why the surprise? We know Muslims kill Christians. We know they stone adulteresses to death. We know they drive airplanes into buildings. We know they mutilate women. We know they bomb airliners. We know they destroy historic monuments. We know they kill their daughters for losing their virginity. We know they kill homosexuals. We know they make coordinated mass attacks on cities. We know they are incompatible with societies of the First World. We know they have no respect for our laws. We know they hate us. Knowing all of this, what do we do? Why…of course! What else? We import more of them. Nothing could make more sense. Ten thousand Syrians, coming to your neighborhood. Thank you, Obama. Thank you in advance, Hillary. More precisely, Hussein Obama imports them. A black President with Islamic roots, barely American, who dislikes white people and recruits immigrants of his two ethnicities as hard as he can. We get utterly unassimilable Somalis in Minnesota, and all the Muslims he can find. Fifty gay men have just paid the price. For Hussein’s policy. The man fascinates me. The two worst actors that America has suffered since Lincoln are Osama bin Laden and Hussein Obama. They easily fit into any list of history’s most effective and influential men, being true geniuses. For a few hundred thousand dollars and an army of a couple of dozen, bin Laden stunningly humiliated America on international television, turned the country into a police state frightened of everything, inspired abrogation of its Constitution, and sucked the country into unending wars. On a cost-benefit basis, it was astonishing. He up-throttled national decline and has Americans hopping barefoot in airports while recordings on subways tell us to watch each other and report “suspicious behavior.” Hussein Obama is in the same majestic league. He has said that he wants to “transform” America, and he has, has he ever, by simply doing what he wants. He found and exploited the hidden weakness in American government, which is that nobody has the balls to tell him “No.” He has won by sheer force of will. You’ve got to hand it to the guy: he’s good. He has set the stage for, at least, unending divisiveness and very possibly for civil war. He will bring in as many more incompatible savages as he can before leaving office, and Hillary, if elected, will be Obama continued by other means. Amazing. The combined militaries of Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany could not do as much lasting harm as this one man. Why does he do it? Look at it as revenge for slavery. Obama bin Osama, I strongly suspect, does. Our post-racial President is in fact the most racial. For those killed by Omar, and their families and friends, there is nothing amusing about the slaughter. In a certain abstract sense, there is. America is like a man beating on his thumb with a hammer and yelling, “Oh! Ouch! Oooh! It hurts!” Why doesn’t he just stop? Well, that would be hammer-phobic. Countries deserve what they tolerate. They even more deserve what they encourage. From Drudge: “Imam speaking in Orlando said gays must be killed out of ‘compassion’…” Hmmmm. Might this not be homophobic? I dare not say so, for fear of being thought Islamophobic. Which I am not. No. I suffer from Islamonausea. It seems that gays have to be killed on the authority of some Fourth Century towel rack. It is because the Religion of Peace says so. If a televangelist in Kansas said that homosexuals had to be killed for Jesus, the entire zoo of talking heads would be on him like lice on a leper and the FBI would gin up fraudulent charges. Watch the media for the outrage that won’t exist as they cover up. You can bet that Hussein Obama will say nothing against his own people. From the standpoint of a curmudgeon, to which ashen-souled tribe I belong, the events in Orlando provide the gray satisfaction of confirmation. We in our dismal trade derive no joy from unavoidable sufferings springing from the routine malice of existence—cancer, automobile wrecks, birth defects—but we thrive on the self-inflicted, on the finger-hammerings accompanied by cries of “Ouch!” We observe that Muslims are nothing but trouble anywhere, so we import Muslims. We observe that diversity is the chief source of bitter strife in the world, so we open the borders. When seeking employees, we deliberately hire people who can’t do the job. In our universities we purposely admit those who neither can nor want to learn. Then, when the obvious, the predictable, indeed the inevitable unexpectedly occurs, we insist that it really didn’t, or shouldn’t have, or wouldn’t have, or something, and do it again. In its way it is wonderfully funny. Unless of course you are among the dead. In Paris the day after Orlando, another Mohammedan emissary of peace stabbed to death a policeman and his wife. (“Allahu Akbar: ‘Mohamed Ali’ Stabs Cop on Street, Slits Throat of Wife…”) Yes, Paris, the city in which heartwarming Muslims have carried out coördinated simultaneous bombings, killed editorial staffs of publications that irked them, burned banlieues and countless cars and successfully intimidate the police. Mon dieu! What can these isolated incidents have in common? Nobody knows. Perhaps the perpetrators were troubled youth. Actually the comic people are only those who generate a personal reality-distortion field and do hilariously foolish things. At the top of the political dunghill it is not stupidity but design. Or so it must be…mustn’t it? One expects academics to gibber and squeak, and neurally-challenged columnists and rabble studentry and talking heads and so on. It takes some very serious believing to believe that the governments of England, France, Holland, Sweden, Denmark and America are too stupid to have noticed what Muslims do, and what they are doing to those countries. Yet governments cover up, hide identities, punish observation as “hate speech,” and keep pumping the barbarians in. Why? Opening America’s southern borders make sense because it makes money for those for whom it makes money. Who profits from flaming arrondissements, explosions in subways, and dead gays? Ah, but the irony is delicious. London, once master of most of the world, has become a branch office of Pakistan and now has a Muslim mayor, who sets about correcting the morals of the English. No photos of women in skimpy clothes, you degenerate rascals. Can caning be far behind? It does a curmudgeon good.

Coincidence Crowed At Barclays Before Brexit

11 days after the Orlando Pulse shooting, the Orlando Magic drafted a player who wears #11 with the #11 overall pick, immediately traded for Serge Ibaka (pronounced “Surge”) on the same night Independence Day: ReSURGEnce opened. This was 11 days before July 4th and the following weekend The Purge: Election Year will open nationwide. PULSE – SURGE – RESURGENCE – PURGE. All events connected by the number that means chaos, disorder and judgment. One of the many non-coincidences from last night we will be covering. Barclays Center in Brooklyn would host the 2016 NBA Draft on June 23rd. Within hours of its conclusion, Barclays would release their statement, Barclays CEO on Brexit vote: “We have stood in service of our customers and clients for over 325 years … That does not change today”. Barclays was established on 11/17/1690, 5540 days later Benjamin Franklin would be born. The events of the past few weeks tie into America’s founding, through its independence from Britain. More importantly, we are witnessing what can only be described as conspicuous warnings that the world is entering a new phase in the coming years, if not sooner. Do NOT allow your eyes to glaze over when you see numbers. For those who can withstand the onslaught of information you will be blessed. Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. If you fear God you need fear nothing else. Out of my fear of God I feel a responsibility to pay attention to His concealed glory. An artist would not much appreciate a patron of the gallery to take a quick dismissive glance. Our Creator is THE Artist of all, let us examine His work and not be shortsighted in what we think constitutes His medium. All the earth is His canvas. If it weren’t for God’s grace and Him providing me this outlet I would most certainly be institutionalized. This is both astonishing and vexing. After addressing the following question we are going to briefly lay a foundation with some overlapping dates which connect major current events. This will be followed by the fascinating connection between Barclays and Brexit, then some aspects of the Draft which jumped out at me. I had no intention of covering this stuff, in fact, nothing I intend to cover do I actually get around to writing about. As with most all other posts, this chose me I did not choose it. How insignificant we really are, in our vanity we make plans but then the NBA Draft happens. But Lord, people are complaining I write about sports too much… Sometimes I like to pretend to be the captain of the crow, a laughable reality for anyone who knows what goes down behind the scenes. The Question Frequently Asked – Why Do You Cover American Sports? One reason is that aside from Hollywood, sports in the west is the largest single entertainment category that crosses all social lines. Young, old, black, white, male, female, Muslim, Jewish. All can relate on one level or another to sports. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who hasn’t thrown or hit a ball, shot a basket or swung a club. The entertainment side of sports has taken on a life of its own. We have the personal story side, reality TV of sorts that appeals to the celebrity obsessed who may or may not care for the competitive side. We worship people, whether for their athletic prowess, celebrity status or both. It is usually both. Adults will find themselves engaged in heated debate over their favorite teams. In a world detached from the traditional human interaction between man and environment, the strategic faculties have been diverted to sports. A step away from fantasy in so far as it doesn’t involve dwarves and elves. The “manly” man, will throw beers at his television during the playoffs and the commercials tell us this is an endearing trait. The advertisements show us a beautiful woman busting her tail, keeping things in order, while her slovenly husband is yelling at the screen. This is America in 2016. Modern sports is the circus of Rome on steroids. Let me state that I have always enjoyed sports. This is not a blanket statement about individuals who watch sports, for I am one of them. We are talking about a societal obsession and a massive distraction from reality. The second reason I cover sports is that it is the most fertile ground for metaphor in current events. We have cities, numbers, colors, names and team names. Each of these individually carry a tremendous language in the symbolic which The Most High uniquely directs in ways only a Sovereign God could. This is what we will cover here, the unmistakable and inexplicable convergences that took place during the last few weeks. Call it what you want, but do not call it coincidence. Coincidence is a lazy way to ignore information you don’t want to deal with. Mystery is precisely that, not to be understood entirely, but it is a grievous mistake for anyone who claims to seek truth to dismiss something because you have nowhere to place it. In other words, dogmatic conclusion or bust. Here’s your dogma, Jesus Christ is the King of Kings, the Hope of Glory by Whom and through Whom all things which are both seen and unseen are created. He is coming again to judge the earth and those whose names are not found in the Lamb’s Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire. Nothing that you can touch, see, hear, feel, smell or think about is outside His providence. So we enter in, we explore these matters without fear. The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. Blessed are those who search out the concealed glory of God. Connecting Events by 11 and 13 For those who are new, it will be helpful to understand the Biblical meanings of 11 and 13. 11 is chaos, disorder and judgment and 13 is rebellion. It is not coincidence that 9/11 and 11/13 were the dates of two major attacks at the hands of Islam, the religion founded by Muhammad who had 13 wives and preached 13 years at Mecca before regrouping and ransacking Medina. Ishmael, was circumcised at 13 and according to Muslim tradition was an ancestor of Muhammad. For the NFL Draft, we covered Eli Apple who wears #13 (rebellion) and went to the Big Apple to join the other Eli, the week before #13 Nyquist won the Kentucky Derby and 6 years, 3 months, 13 days after the Book of Eli came out. The Apple, and the #13 for rebellion. Though we cannot say the fruit in the garden was the “apple” it has come to be understood as such. Eli’s wicked sons rebelled in the desecrating the sacrifice. Nyquist – “NY” – New York, quist – “pigeon, dove, twig” (days of Noah). The one player who went to the same high school as the 44th President happens to wear #44 and the high school he and Obama attended in Hawaii just happens to have 44 buildings and 440 state championships across all sports. punahou

Barclays and Brexit July 8th at Barclays Center we have Nick Jonas performing, once again connecting us to the sign of Jonah. download (6) The Brexit inspired Dow collapse on June 24 took place 7 years, 7 months, 7 weeks after the September 29, 2008 collapse of 777 points. It was 7 years, 7 months, 7 weeks and 5 days… and the Sept 29 2008 drop was 777.68. 5 days is .71 of a week so at the time of the day the 2008 crashed occurred you could say it was .68. The Dow collapsed on June 24, 2016 losing 611 points. Of course 6 and 11 for those who have been following. Any number repeated three times in scripture means complete. 777 is 21 or the date of the summer solstice full moon (6/21) that hasn’t occurred since 1948 and 1967. Within hours of Barclays Center hosting the annual NBA Draft the country in which Barclays is headquartered would pass the historical vote to withdraw from the EU. For many these events would seem unrelated but as we drill down you will see this is far from the case. Barclays is headquartered in London. On June 27, 1967, 20 days after Israel reclaimed Jerusalem, they deployed the world’s first cash dispenser (ATM). There is a monument in honor of this momentous feat. “Lives made much easier”. This date was also 6 days from the 49 years and the summer solstice full moon which took place the last time in 1967. Barclays’ headquarters is One Churchill Place, London Borough Tower of Hamlets. Barclays is the oldest British bank in continuous operation. C Hoare is the oldest family run private bank established 20 years earlier. Barclays is the oldest public bank in Britain. The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it. Daniel 7:4 The day following Barclays and the same day as Brexit, the first LGBT national monument was established at a “bar”, at Stonewall Inn. This is on the 17th of Tammuz on the Torah calendar. We covered previously the significant events which transpired on this date. The other 17th of Tammuz is on July 23 on the Hebrew calendar (Hebrew and Torah are two different calendars). This is the day of the Golden Calf (Golden CAV) which connects us to Cleveland, the city founded by Moses Cleaveland. Pay attention to “cleave” it ties in. Stonewall Inn, known simply as “Where Pride Began”. God resists the proud, so this is one way to stonewall yourself from God. Here is the slang definition of “stonewalling” The idea being that the person is putting up a “stone wall” and impeding your progress in the conversation, and as you cannot see over the side of the wall, you have no idea why it is there. If you try to “climb the wall” to figure it out, then the other party will know your level of interest. No human pride movement is complete without the fist raised to heaven. “Love is Love” Closed fist, says there is nothing I want from you. It is defiance, closed and seeks to strike. Open hand says, I embrace, I give you myself. Open hands receive, clenched fists resist. Open hands raise in worship, closed fists take. Open hands love, closed fists impose. Bar-Clay Bar – stake or rod of iron used to fasten a door or gate. To fasten (a gate, etc.) with a bar,” from bar (n.1); sense of “to obstruct, prevent”.

Revelation 12:5 PULSE – SURGE – RESURGENCE – PURGE 11 days after the Orlando Pulse nightclub shooting, the Orlando Magic select a player who wears #11 with the #11 overall pick, 11 days before the 4th of July. Immediately, they trade the #11 who wears #11 to the Thunder for Serge Ibaka, the evening Independence Day: ReSURGEnce opened in theaters nationwide. The following weekend “The PURGE”: Election Year is scheduled for release. Just so we are clear… Surge goes to Orlando, 11 days after the Pulse in Orlando, on the night Independence Day: ReSURGEnce is released 11 days before Independence Day and The Purge is released. etc. and the news story continues..

Dr. James Dobson: Donald Trump Has Accepted Christ

4:00PM EDT 6/24/2016 Bob Eschliman

Is Donald Trump a born-again Christian? According to a well-respected evangelical faith leader, the answer is "Yes." (Reuters photo) Donald Trump, according to a new report, has accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. No, you didn't accidentally click on The Onion. That's a factual statement, according to a well-respected evangelical faith leader. Dr. James Dobson, who was among the more than 900 evangelical faith leaders who met with the Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting in New York City, says it happened fairly recently. He also said he knew who led the businessman to Christ. "I don't know when it was, but it has not been long," Dobson told Godfactor's Michael Anthony in an exclusive interview. "I believe he really made a commitment, but he's a baby Christian. We all need to be praying for him, especially if there's a possibility of him being our next chief executive officer." "I think that he's open," he added. "He doesn't know our language, he really doesn't, and he refers a lot to religion and not much to faith and belief." To that, Anthony responded, "I imagine Saul, when he became Paul, didn't know the language, either." "Yeah, well you've got to cut him some slack. He didn't grow up like we did," Dobson responded. "I think there's hope for him, and I think there's hope for us. I have great concerns about the next election." Dobson said he was in the "small group" of 40 faith leaders who met with Trump earlier in the day at Trump Tower, and that he had a chance to interact directly with the Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting. "He's a lot nicer guy than you [think]," he said. "I think he is listening. There were a lot of people ministering to him personally." Dobson also praised the event, during which he said faith leaders were "genuinely seeking the Lord's direction" in the things Trump was saying. "He's sometimes kind of obscure in the way that he answers questions, and we wanted to ask him directly, with follow-up questions," he said. "We got a chance to do that." Draw closer to God.

Istanbul airport attack marks the latest of several bombings in Turkey over past year

Published June 29, 2016 Associated Press

A look at the suicide bombings in Turkey since July 2015:

-- June 28, 2016 -- Suicide attackers killed at least 36 people and wounded more than 140 at Istanbul's busy Ataturk Airport. Turkish officials said the explosions were probably the work of Islamic State group militants.

-- March 19, 2016 -- A suicide bombing rocked Istanbul's main pedestrian street killing five people, including the bomber, whom authorities identified as a Turkish national linked to IS. Like in the prior attacks blamed on IS, there was no claim of responsibility from the group.

-- March 13, 2016: A Kurdish woman blew herself up in a car at a busy transport hub in Ankara, killing 37 people in an attack that was also claimed by TAK, also known as the Kurdish Freedom Falcons.

-- Feb. 17, 2016: A suicide car bomb apparently targeting military personnel in Ankara killed 29 people in an attack claimed by TAK, an off-shoot of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, which Turkey considers a terrorist organization.

-- Jan. 12, 2016: A suicide bomber blew himself up in the historic district of Istanbul, killing 12 German tourists. Authorities said the attack was carried out by an IS-linked Syrian man who had entered the country as a refugee.

-- Oct. 10, 2015: Twin suicide bombings hit a peace rally outside Ankara's train station, killing 102 people. There was no claim of responsibility but Turkish authorities blamed the attack on a local cell of IS.

-- July 20, 2015: A Turkish national who was an ethnic Kurd blew himself up in in the southern border town of Suruc, killing 33 mostly-Kurdish activists and wounding nearly 100 others in an attack authorities blamed on the Islamic State group.

The awful Israeli-Hezbollah conflict to come

Willy Stern

Hezbollah has a nasty collection of more than 130,000 rockets, missiles, and mortars aimed at Israel. This is a bigger arsenal than all NATO countries (except the United States) combined. Why, a reasonable person might wonder, does Hezbollah need an offensive arsenal bigger than that of all Western Europe? "You don't collect 130,000 missiles if you don't intend to use them," says Matthew Levitt, a counter-terrorism expert at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Hezbollah is a well-funded, violently anti-Israel terrorist organisation based in Lebanon and a puppet of the Iranian regime. In Hezbollah's arsenal are about 700 long-range, high-payload rockets and missiles with names like Fateh-110 and Scud D. They are capable of taking down entire buildings in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem, wreaking havoc at Israel's major military bases, killing thousands of Israeli civilians, shutting down the nation's airports and ports, and taking out the electric grid. And that's just in the first week. Israel's Dilemma Former Israel Defence Forces (IDF) Major General Yaakov Amidror is talking about the M-600 missile. It's a fairly accurate ballistic missile that weighs more than a Hummer H2 and carries a formidable warhead. The M-600 can also deliver chemical weapons. A single M-600 could wipe out a good chunk of Times Square and maim and kill people four football fields away from the point of impact. Hezbollah has a lot of M-600s. Amidror, Israel's former national security adviser, is asked what the next war between Israel and Hezbollah will look like. "We are not looking for war," says Amidror. "But suppose Hezbollah launches an advanced missile like the M-600 at the Kirya, the IDF military headquarters in Tel Aviv, or a large apartment complex in Jerusalem. Our defence technology quickly finds the launcher. It is right under a 22-storey residential building in Beirut. We can now see in real time the launcher being moved back under the building to reload." "We have just minutes to act," explains Amidror. "The IDF will have to take out the launcher because the next missile can cause enormous damage in Israel. But to take out the launcher means the 22-storey building may fall. We would try to use precision-guided missiles to protect civilians but the target is hard to reach. We will try to warn the residents but the timing is tight. That building will almost certainly be hit. And the images in the international media will almost certainly be awful." But, asks Amidror, today a senior fellow at the Begin-Sadat Centre for Strategic Studies, "What alternative do we have?" No good one, since the building in the scenario described would be a legitimate military target. So say a bevy of international military law experts, including Geoff Corn of the South Texas College of Law in Houston, who has studied IDF targeting policies: "After exhausting all feasible efforts to reduce civilian risk, IDF commanders must resolve the decisive question: Is the potential for civilian harm excessive in comparison to the advantages the attack would provide? When you talk of an M-600 in the hands of an enemy that targets vital military assets or the civilian population - even if that apartment building is full - launching the attack will be necessary to mitigate the threat." Professor Corn is well aware of what will happen next. "The international community will look at the images and will note that the immediate cause of destruction was Israeli munitions. But - and here is the kicker - both legally and morally, the cause of these tragic consequences will lie solely at the feet of Hezbollah." Hezbollah cleverly places its arsenal where any Israeli military response - even legal, carefully planned, narrowly targeted, proportionate measures - will lead to huge civilian casualties among Lebanese. Why? Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's cunning leader, sees a win-win situation. He'd like nothing better than for the IDF to kill Lebanese civilians. And if the IDF shies away from attacking legitimate military targets in civilian sectors, then Nasrallah achieves both military and strategic advantages, and his fighters can continue to rain deadly rockets down on Israel's civilians, infrastructure, and military installations. Says one IDF officer, "We don't have the luxury of waiting, monitoring, considering." This writer spent two-plus weeks embedded with IDF units around the country, meeting with scores of soldiers, from sergeants to generals, from frontline commanders to nerdy intelligence analysts, from patrol boat captains to fighter pilots, from civil defence experts to high-tech air defence geeks. All these military tacticians and strategists were intently focused on preparing for the next war with Hezbollah. Why did the IDF pull back the curtain and provide such access not only to its top brass but also to classified documents, war-gaming exercises, and strategic projections? Because Israel wants the world to know that (1) a war with Hezbollah in Lebanon will be, unavoidably, awful; and (2) the massive collateral damage won't be Israel's fault. Even more than that, the IDF seems to be pleading to the international community: Do something. Stop Hezbollah. Before it is too late, and they drag the region into a bloody hellhole. What the War will look like What will a future war look like? Some clues: Hezbollah has amassed not just rockets and missiles. Iran has supplied its favourite terrorist organisation with other top-of-the-line weaponry. For military aficionados, these would include the latest guided, tank-piercing Russian-made "Kornet" missiles, SA-17 and SA-22 air defence systems, and even the "Yakhont" class surface-to-ship cruise missiles. Making matters worse for IDF planners, Hezbollah boasts a standing army of more than 10,000 soldiers - and could add two or three times that number of reservists in the event of a war with Israel. In short, since its last major conflict with Israel in 2006, Hezbollah has dramatically increased its combat capabilities and armoury. The terrorist organisation has leapt from the jayvee team to the major leagues across every fighting platform. True, Hezbollah is stretched these days from rotating its troops into Syria. But that also means that many Hezbollah soldiers will be battle-tested and tough; some 6,000 to 7,000 of them have been fighting alongside Syrian Army regulars in an effort to prop up Bashar al-Assad. Make no mistake: Should hostilities break out, there will be a deadly ground war. Aerial operations simply aren't enough to dismantle and root out Hezbollah's maze of underground launchers, tunnels and infrastructure that are aimed right over Israel's border. No matter how brave a face the IDF leadership tries to put on, in the next conflict with Hezbollah, IDF tanks will get blown to bits, aircraft will be shot from the sky, navy patrol boats will be sunk, and the multibillion-dollar Israeli offshore gas rigs in the Mediterranean Sea could end up on the sea floor. Many young IDF soldiers will be coming home in body bags. Nothing would make Nasrallah happier. He is clear in public statements that he'd dearly like to murder every Jew in the world but especially those in Israel. In speeches, he describes Israel as a "cancerous entity" of "ultimate evil" and joyfully calls for its "annihilation." Deterrence is a big part of Israel's defence strategy; acknowledging these scenarios doesn't sit right with many in the IDF's military structure. They don't want to frighten Israel's civilian population. Nor do they want to embolden Israel's enemies. But the IDF is trying really hard to give the world a wake-up call about what's coming down the pike. Even in a best-case scenario for preventing Israel's civilian casualties - meaning a vast majority of Israelis would be able to get into hardened shelters before the first deadly salvo is launched from Lebanon - IDF planners quietly acknowledge that "as many as hundreds" of Israeli non-combatants might be killed per day in the first week or two of the conflict. If Hezbollah's first missile salvos are launched without warning, the Israeli civilian death count could be 10 times higher. Israel's top military brass acknowledges that its high-tech missile-defence system will be "lucky" to shoot down 90% of incoming rockets, missiles and mortars. Hezbollah has the capacity to shoot 1,500 missiles per day. That means 150 - likely more - deadly projectiles could get through in a day. Israel's Iron Dome, David's Sling, Arrow 3, and other state-of-the-art systems for shooting down incoming rockets and missiles are the best in the world but imperfect. "Even with Israel's technological superiority, it would be a major blunder to underestimate Hezbollah's ability to do serious damage," cautions Amos Harel, the respected military/defence correspondent for the Israeli daily Ha'aretz. One irony: It's not only those in Tokyo and Chicago and Brussels who have little idea what such a conflict will look like. Many Israelis are fairly clueless. Residents of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem read about recent wars in newspapers every morning while sipping latte in their favourite café. Not this time. They will be in bunkers. Possibly for a very long time. IDF Major General (res.) Gershon Hacohen explains, "ATMs won't work. With the electric grid out, how will Israelis get to their 30th-floor apartments without elevators? How will they cook?" Israel will almost certainly be forced to try to evacuate most citizens in the northern part of the country. Why? Because Hezbollah's arsenal includes about 100,000 short-range rockets aimed at schools, hospitals, and homes. These rockets - including Falaks, Katyushas, Fajr-3s, and 122 Grads - may not be particularly accurate but they're also not in the air long enough for the IDF defensive weapons systems to shoot them down. Imagine if New Jersey shot more than 1,000 deadly rockets over the Hudson River into Manhattan every day. No doubt, those on the Upper West Side would also be a bit peeved. "There is no country in the world - not Israel, not the US, not in Europe - who would not go to war to stop a rocket barrage of that nature," explains Nadav Pollak, formerly in an IDF intelligence unit and today a counterterrorism fellow at the Washington Institute. Small teams of elite Hezbollah commandos will almost certainly be able to slip into Israel and may wreak havoc among Israeli villages in the north. One scenario that has IDF strategists concerned: A Hezbollah team infiltrates into northern Israel via small boat at night, kills every man, woman and child in a remote village, and then escapes into the darkness. The public relations value to Hezbollah would be enormous. "Anything that creates fear and terror among Israelis is a win for Hezbollah," says an IDF Home Front Command senior official. Thumbing its nose at legal and ethical norms for armed conflict, Hezbollah has strategically placed its launchers and other deadly weaponry in homes, schools, hospitals, and densely populated civilian centres throughout Lebanon. This arsenal is supposedly "hidden." Still, the IDF knows where many of these weapons are stored and shared classified maps with me. These maps showed remarkably detailed information indicating that Hezbollah is storing its weaponry in dozens of southern Lebanese villages but also in Beirut proper, where the organisation is headquartered in the densely populated suburb of Dahiya. Amos Yadlin is the Executive Director of the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University. Given Israel's sophisticated, high-tech war-fighting machine, Yadlin says the IDF will have "clear superiority" in any conflict with Hezbollah. Deterrence matters. Yadlin and every IDF officer I spoke to made one point clear: A war with Hezbollah may be ugly, but Israel will win. Decisively. Military Law, Hezbollah and Israel Military law expert Corn is among those who believe Hezbollah should be called to answer for its unlawful tactics: "Hezbollah should be pressured, starting today, to avoid locating such vital military assets amongst civilians." Corn fears that "the instinctual condemnation of Israel will only encourage continuation of these illicit tactics." Corn is correct. Two conclusions are inescapable and well voiced by a world-weary IDF officer: "The next war with Hezbollah is going to be an absolute shitstorm. And we're going to be blamed." Civilian deaths in Lebanon will be a tragedy by any standard, but they will not be Israel's fault. The primary duty of every nation is to protect its citizens. Israel will do what any country would do if deadly rockets rain down on its cities and military bases: It will respond. In keeping with its history, the IDF is committed to responding judiciously and well within the accepted laws of armed conflict. But the outcomes will be very different from previous conflicts. Why? Because Hezbollah's fighting force and arsenal are those of a nation-state, but its tactics are those of a terrorist organisation. Tens of thousands of Lebanese civilians will almost certainly die. The international media - many either reflexively anti-Israel or simply naïve - will have a field day. The IDF is smart to try to explain its side of the story in advance. At least so says retired US Army Major General Mike Jones, co-author of a detailed report on the IDF's conduct in its latest conflict with Hamas, the other terrorist organisation on its border. "Despite what may have been reported on the 2014 war with Hamas in Gaza, we found that the IDF went to extreme lengths in Gaza to avoid civilian casualties," says Jones. Hezbollah and other radical Islamist groups are trying to delegitimise the laws of armed conflict; this ought to be of concern to all law-abiding nations and militaries. Jones believes that the IDF (and other Western nations) is "absolutely right" to try to get out in front on the strategic messaging issue. Yes, strategic messaging. The IDF has long operated under the presumption that being in the right was enough to carry the day in the court of public opinion. No more. Anti-Israel propaganda is everywhere. Many politicians, journalists, academics and policy wonks are eager to denounce Israel regardless of facts or logic. One IDF officer pointed to another possibility, namely that many reporters and average Joes simply cannot fathom the reality of war: "When one sees civilians killed, it's natural to blame the person who directly caused their death. But in war we need to look beyond. Civilians will die, but who is ultimately morally responsible? Is it the army that is forced to target military targets hidden among civilians - and uses precision weapons and warnings - or is it the group that deliberately puts its own civilians in the line of fire?" The IDF is aware that future conflicts with Hezbollah will be fought on at least two battlegrounds. The first, obviously, will involve guns, tanks and fighter jets. The second front will encompass the court of public opinion. Israel is wisely opening up its second front early. When the next war occurs, the IDF will endeavour to have both law and morality on its side. Will anybody care? The IDF no longer distinguishes between the sovereign nation of Lebanon and Hezbollah. Here's why: The terrorist group fully controls southern Lebanon, even to the point of limiting the movements of the Lebanese Army and also of the United Nations forces there. As well, Hezbollah holds significant positions in the Lebanese Government and parliament. As such, Lebanon's infrastructure will likely be targeted. The IDF may well go after Lebanese bridges, airports, highways, and the electric grid, and IDF officials want Hezbollah to know this. Again, deterrence. On the Border Hezbollah is also preparing, and not just missiles. I spent a morning on patrol with a senior IDF commander on the Lebanese border. We were in easy range of Hezbollah snipers. The soldier was wisely decked out in full combat gear, including helmet, Kevlar vest and assault rifle. It's dead easy to peer across the border into the tiny Lebanese village of Ayta Ash Shab and see a Hezbollah operative, dressed like a tourist, using a telephoto lens to snap photos to monitor IDF border patrol activities. All was quiet. One day, this border will not be so quiet. Firas Abi Ali, senior principal analyst on Lebanon for the London-based country risk consultancy IHS, rates likelihood of war between Israel and Hezbollah as "more than 50 percent" in five years and "more than 70 percent" within 10. A mitigating factor in the near term is the war in Syria, which keeps many of Hezbollah's best fighters occupied. But IDF planners cannot afford to think in these subtleties. "There's going to be a war with Hezbollah," says Colonel Elan Dickstein, who runs the Northern Command Training Base. "The only question is when." One of those preparing is Colonel Tzvika Tzoron, commander of the Haifa district in the Home Front Command. He has been charged with the unenviable task of protecting Israeli citizens in the northern part of the country, including those living in villages right on the Lebanese border. "We hope to give them a few days' notice," says Tzoron. "But who knows what will happen?" Who knows, indeed? "I go to sleep at night worried, and I wake up worried," admits Lt. Col. Ronen Markham, who runs a battalion of navy patrol boats near the Lebanese border. "I worry about what I do know and worry about what I don't. Most of the world doesn't really understand that war is ugly. War is terrible. War is bloody. War brings casualties. Lots of people - soldiers and civilians - will die. There is no way around it." IDF tactics and International Critics But Israel will try to find ways around it. If the IDF's conduct of war against Hamas in Gaza is any indication, the IDF will go far beyond the requirements of the international laws of armed conflict to try to protect civilian life in Lebanon. Some of the steps the IDF may take to prevent civilian casualties in Lebanon include dropping leaflets warning of impending operations, using aerial assets to monitor civilian presence, and carefully choosing weaponry whenever feasible. Several top-notch military attorneys from around the world criticised the IDF for its actions to protect civilians in the 2014 Gaza war. But the criticism is not what you might think: These attorneys believe Israel did too much to protect civilian lives. "The IDF's warnings certainly go beyond what the law requires, but they also sometimes go beyond what would be operational good sense elsewhere," says Michael Schmitt, chairman of the Stockton Center for the Study for International Law at the US Naval War College. "People are going to start thinking that the US and other Western democracies should follow the same examples in different types of conflict. That's a real risk." Schmitt is the author of a recent comprehensive analysis of the IDF's targeting practices. But here's the kicker: The IDF will apply the same legal standards in any war with Hezbollah, but with very different outcomes. Why? Because Hezbollah has far more dangerous missiles and operates out of high-rise buildings. Speaking bluntly, a senior IDF officer with an intellectual bent explains, "Bizarre though it may sound, it is lawful for more citizens to die. We will be applying the same legal tests in Lebanon but with far more tragic results." IDF Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Nisan Cohen winds back to the scenario of a 22-storey building in Beirut with an M-600 launcher in its basement. "Even with our best precision-guided missiles and with our best efforts to avoid civilian casualties," he says, "it's very hard to just hit the basement. It's even harder for us to explain afterwards why civilians were harmed." Cohen knows that the IDF is at a competitive disadvantage in terms of telling its side of the story. Photos of destroyed buildings are dead easy to come by and tug at the emotions, while the IDF often must rely on classified information to explain a specific strike. "We ask the world not to be fooled by propaganda and by images," says a senior IDF official. "Check the facts. Any reasonable and moral human being will determine that the IDF did the right thing in our targeting decisions. There is just a fundamental disconnect between everyday life and war. If you see a picture of a dead baby, you know that it's bad. You want to blame someone. It's nearly impossible for people to flip that switch and try to understand the legal and factual context of war." Who gets suckered by the anti-Israel propaganda? Plenty of smart folks. Take, for example, a State Department spokesman who ought to have known better. Asked in July 2014 if the Obama Administration believed Israel had done enough to prevent civilian casualties in Gaza, Jen Psaki said: ‘'We believe that certainly there's more that can be done.'' Really? What exactly? Military minds, of course, know better. In November 2014, the highest-ranking officer in the US military - Martin Dempsey, then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs - said that Israel went to "extraordinary lengths" to limit civilian casualties in its recent war in Gaza and that the Pentagon had sent a working team to Israel to glean what lessons could be learned from that IDF operation. Yaakov Amidror recalls an event from his stint as Israel's national security adviser. In the late summer of 2013, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon paid a visit to Jerusalem. Just prior to a planned meeting with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, Amidror got an hour alone with Ban and his aide-de-camp. Amidror pulled out his laptop and presented detailed evidence of Hezbollah's deadly arsenal and the fact that it was strategically placed within densely populated civilian centres. "What do you want us to do?" asked Amidror. Ban offered no response and no suggestions. Instead, the UN chief continued 15 feet down the plush carpeted hallway from Amidror's office to his meeting with Netanyahu. Is it any wonder that Israel is frustrated? Nobody, it seems, in times of peace is willing to offer Israel a constructive suggestion on how to deal with an Iranian-funded terrorist organisation in possession of a massive arsenal on its northern border. But these same organisations stand front and centre to criticise Israel for acting legally and proportionately for protecting its own citizens in wartime.

Supreme Court Allows State to Force Pro-Life Pharmacists to Sell Abortion Pills

National Steven Ertelt Jun 28, 2016 | 10:10AM Washington, DC

Just one day after issuing a major ruling striking down a portion of a pro-life law in Texas saving thousands of babies from abortion and closing unscrupulous abortion clinics, the Supreme Court has made a second anti-life decision. Today, the nation’s highest court refused to hear an appeal from pro-life pharmacists in Washington state who are challenging a state law forcing them to sell the morning after pull and abortion-causing drugs that violate their conscience as Christians instead of allowing them to refer customers to nearby pharmacies. A pro-life family that runs pharmacies in Washington State has been at the center of an epic battle over religious rights for years. In 2007, abortion activists convinced the Washington Board of Pharmacy to pass regulations that force pharmacists in the state to dispense abortion causing drugs. This caused a major dilemma for the Stormans family, owners of a third-generation pharmacy. Their religious convictions prevented them from selling drugs that destroy innocent human life. Yet the State insisted they do so. Click here to sign up for pro-life news alerts from LifeNews.com After the state launched an investigation, the Stormans family filed a lawsuit against the state for violating their First Amendment rights. That resulted in a years-long legal battle — one that has ultimately made its way to the Supreme Court. But, the nation’s highest court refused to take the case — making it so the infringing pro-abortion law stands. Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Clarence Thomas, dissented from the denial and would have agreed to hear the case. They wrote: “This case is an ominous sign. At issue are Washington State regulations that are likely to make a pharmacist unemployable if he or she objects on religious grounds to dispensing certain prescription medications. There are strong reasons to doubt whether the regulations were adopted for—or that they actually serve—any legitimate purpose. And there is much evidence that the impetus for the adoption of the regulations was hostility to pharmacists whose religious beliefs regarding abortion and contraception are out of step with prevailing opinion in the State. Yet the Ninth Circuit held that the regulations do not violate the First Amendment, and this Court does not deem the case worthy of our time. If this is a sign of how religious liberty claims will be treated in the years ahead, those who value religious freedom have cause for great concern…. Ralph’s has raised more than ‘slight suspicion’ that the rules challenged here reflect antipathy toward religious beliefs that do not accord with the views of those holding the levers of government power. I would grant certiorari to ensure that Washington’s novel and concededly unnecessary burden on religious objectors does not trample on fundamental rights.” Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Kristen Waggoner reacted to the Suprem Court’s refusal to take the case in comments to LifeNews. “All Americans should be free to peacefully live and work consistent with their faith without fear of unjust punishment, and no one should be forced to participate in the taking of human life. We had hoped that the U.S. Supreme Court would take this opportunity to reaffirm these long-held principles,” Waggoner said. “The state of Washington allows pharmacists to refer customers for just about any reason—except reasons of conscience. Singling out people of faith and denying them the same freedom to refer is a violation of federal law. All 49 other states allow conscience-based referrals, which are fully supported by the American Pharmacists Association, the Washington Pharmacy Association, and 36 other pharmacy associations,” she continued. She told LifeNews: “Not one customer in Washington has been denied timely access to any drug due to a religious objection. As the trial court found, the government designed its law for the ‘primary—if not sole—purpose’ of targeting religious health care providers. We are disappointed that the high court didn’t take this case and uphold the trial court’s finding.” Margo Thelen, Rhonda Mesler, and the Stormans family have worked in the pharmacy profession for over seventy years. When a customer requests an abortion-inducing drug, they refer the customer to one of over thirty pharmacies within five miles that willingly sell the drugs. For decades, this has been standard pharmacy practice, has been approved by the American Pharmacists Association, and has been legal in all 50 states. But in 2007, Washington adopted a new law making referrals for reasons of conscience illegal. The law was passed in a cloud of controversy, with then-Governor Christine Gregoire threatening to terminate the State Pharmacy Commission and replacing Commission members with new ones recommended by abortion-rights activists. The law leaves pharmacies free to refer patients elsewhere for a wide variety of reasons related to business, economics, and convenience—but not for reasons of conscience. Because of the law, Margo Thelen lost her job, Rhonda Mesler was threatened with losing hers, and the Stormans family faces the loss of its pharmacy license. After a twelve-day trial, a federal court in February 2012 struck down the law as unconstitutional, finding “abundant evidence” that the law was designed to force religious pharmacists and pharmacy owners to violate their faith. But last July the liberal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision, upholding the law.

EU Denying Europe's Christian Roots Contributed to Brexit

By Wallace Henley , CP Exclusive June 27, 2016|12:20 pm

Britain has decided that joining hands and singing "Kumbaya" on the deck of the sinking "Titanic" that is the European Union will not save the ship. Wisely, a majority of her voters saw through the EU illusion and decided they should abandon the vessel. The British lifeboat will likely be on troubled waters for a while until she steadies on her beam, but that's better than being on a plunging ship. But why is the ship sinking? First, the EU's framers themselves blew a big hole in the hull. "Nearer My God to Thee," sang the perishing on the Titanic's dying decks in 1912. The EU is most definitely not singing that. The framers of its constitution intentionally left out reference to God and Europe's Christian roots because, they said, such inclusions might be divisive. They may as well have been singing, "As Far From God As We Can Get." A leader of Britain's National Secular Society said: "We are very glad a reference to God has been left out, it would have created unnecessary barriers in Europe ... Europe has to be secular for it to be really unified." In light of the disjointedness of European society one can only say, "Really?" It's pointless to include mention of God in the EU constitution because of "the increased secularization of morality and public life," declared the British Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association almost fifteen years ago. The thuggery and explosion of public disorder in many European cities shows graphically what that "secularization" has produced. Second, the EU "Titanic" is in peril because it is little more than the old Europe attempting to be a new Europe. Though many of the Brussels elite may disdain the past tradition of royal houses, they themselves have become every bit as dominating. For example, their flowery views of immigration are no less romantic than Queen Victoria's might have been whiling away a sleepy afternoon at Balmoral as the Prussians were invading Denmark. So the ruling highbrows in the European Parliament seemed oblivious to the way their policies were affecting workers in the British Midlands and big industrial cities. The shock was that this time the blue-collared Labour voters defied that party's potentates. The heaviest voting for Brexit was in working-class areas. The left is always shouting, "Power to the People!" Now that the people really have taken the slogan seriously the elites are stupefied. Even Hollywood, as represented by such profound political thinkers as Lindsay Lohan, is in an uproar. Leftists don't like authoritarianism unless it is their own. Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban is one of Europe's most insightful leaders. "We want a democratic European Union with internal relations, day-to-day rules, an ethnic composition and culture which are determined by the people living in the countries of Europe, rather than by a Brussels elite," he told a radio interviewer. The current EU elitists are "quite clearly acting against the will of the European peoples," he said. Jonathan Sandys is no elitist, but he is the great-grandson of Sir Winston Churchill. He and I co-authored God and Churchill, which explores Jonathan's great-grandfather's spiritual background and providential destiny. Jonathan, a British citizen now living in Houston, very much wanted Britain to remain in the EU. "A United Europe was my great-grandfather's dream," he said, as we had a friendly debate. Jonathan, like his famous ancestor, has a broad vision. He is concerned for Britain's security in a world where Obama foreign policy has shredded overseas confidence in a friendship with the United States. "My great-grandfather would have voted 'Remain,'" thinks Jonathan. But I'm not sure. Churchill's vision was in the context of 1945 Europe. It was a continent struggling to rebuild after the Second World War. Europe in 1945 still remembered the First World War, when the august ruling monarchs, most blood-related, went at each other through the sacrifice of their young men. Churchill wanted a Europe that would live as a community, not an asteroid belt of colliding states. Further, as Jonathan and I show in detail in God and Churchill, Sir Winston saw the Second World War as being for the survival of "Christian Civilization," a term he used repeatedly. One doubts he would be excited about the rabid secularism of the current EU and its abandonment of "Christian Civilization." Jonathan and I, though disagreeing about the current vote, concur that Brexit contained important lessons. For one, he says, it revealed the weakness of the UK's leadership. Were Churchill in power now the vote would have never come up because he would have personally gone to Brussels and roared at the elites, confronted their errors, and demolished their authoritarian policies. Jonathan and I believe the UK vote is a wake-up call for Britain and its leaders, as well as the United States. But the current situation is ominous. Hillary Clinton's foreign policy flaws, from the casual handling of secrets essential to national security, to failure to grasp what is really going on in certain situations, are painfully obvious right now. And what of Donald Trump's undeveloped, unproven, and vague, sometimes even confused, understanding of global issues? Naïveté about the world and disregard for its member states are the jagged edges of the iceberg sinking the EU "Titanic." That, combined with the core problem of the rejection of God and the Judeo-Christian worldview, and the aloof arrogance and authoritarianism of the Brussels elite have caused the EU ship to not be seaworthy for the tempests roiling the globe. That's why she may break up on those troubled waters, and why likely there will soon be a rush to the lifeboats.

WashPost: US Diplomats Face Harassment, Intimidation From Russian Agents

By Mark Swanson | Tuesday, 28 Jun 2016 02:09 PM

American diplomats in Europe and Russia have experienced increased harassment and intimidation — some criminal — tactics from Russian intelligence agents since 2014, The Washington Post reported. The State Department confirmed it to the Post, a spokesman for the Russian embassy in Washington D.C. defended it to the newspaper, and Secretary of State John Kerry has asked Russian president Vladimir Putin to put an end to it, the Post reported. The Post reported Diplomats saw an uptick in incidents — in frequency and severity — after the U.S. imposed sanctions on Russia for its invasion of the Ukraine in 2014. Some of the incidents Diplomats face, according to the Post: Being followed, including family members; Having foreign reported write negative stories about them; Having homes broken into and furniture rearranged, TVs turned on; Intruder defecating on the carpet; Slashed tires; Harassment by traffic cops. A spokesman for the Russian embassy in D.C. defended the tactics to the Post. "The deterioration of U.S.-Russia relations, which was not caused by us, but rather by the current Administration's policy of sanctions and attempts to isolate Russian, had a negative affect on the functioning of diplomatic missions, both in U.S. and Russia," the spokesman told the Post. The Post reported that Kerry had a dialogue with Putin about the tactics during his visit to Moscow in March, but that incidents continued after that meeting. At least one Republican blames President Obama for being an enabler to the Russian aggression. "The problem is there have been no consequences for Russia," Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, told the Post. "The administration continues to pursue a false narrative that Russia can be our partner. They clearly don't want to be our partner."

Presbyterian Church USA begins General Assembly with prayer to Allah

Posted on June 29, 2016 by Dr. Eowyn | 18 Comments

The General Assembly of Presbyterian Church, USA (PCUSA) meets biennially in even-numbered years. It consists of commissioners elected by each of its 172 presbyteries. The GA is full of activities: sessions on hundreds of items of business, committee meetings, an exhibit hall, daily worship services, and mission tours sponsored by the Committee on Local Arrangements. This year, PCUSA’s 222nd General Assembly was held on June 18-25, in Portland, Oregon. Rachael Lee reports for Christianity Daily that General Assembly’s opening plenary session began with a Muslim, Wajidi Said of the Portland Muslim Community, offering a prayer to Allah, which had been arranged by the PCUSA’s Ecumenical and Interfaith ministry staff. After reciting a chant in Arabic, Said said: “Allah bless us and bless our families and bless our Lord. Lead us on the straight path – the path of all the prophets: Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad. Peace be upon them all, Amen.” Said then called upon Allah: “In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful, let us praise the Lord. The creator of the Universe, the most merciful, the most compassionate and the Lord of the Universe who has created us and made us into nations and tribes, from males and females, that we know each other, not that we might despise each other, or may despise each other. Incline towards peace and justice and trust in God, for the Lord is one who hears and knows everything and the servants of God, the most compassionate, the most merciful. Gracious are those who walk in the earth with humility, and when bigots and hateful and Islamophobes address them, they say peace. Peace be upon them and peace be upon Allah. The prayer begins at the 14:00 mark: Mateen Elass, a former Muslim who now works with Voice of the Truth, wrote in his blog that PCUSA event “denied the gospel and lordship of Jesus Christ.” Elass criticized the PCUSA for inviting “a practicing Muslim … to lead the worship of Christians,” and pointed out that during his prayers, Said had asked Allah to convert the assembly: “Praying to Allah … he was pleading that the Presbyterians gathered there would be converted to the straight path, i.e., becom Muslims.” Utterly shameful!

That rumbling you feel is Judeo-Christian civilization collapsing beneath your feet

June 22, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) - It was a beautiful summer evening, with an occasional gentle breeze preventing it from becoming stifling. I was sitting on a restaurant patio with my wife, sipping ice-cold water and chatting about the week’s events while waiting for our food to arrive. Cheery chatter rose from the tables around us. The events we were discussing seemed almost weird and unreal in contrast with the pleasant Saturday evenings unfolding for the restaurant’s patrons. Everything seemed so normal. A group of women brayed noisily one table over, loud cackles chasing each other out into the summer air. One of their group rose to her feet on ridiculous heels and teetered off like a new-born gazelle taking her first steps. To our left, a middle-aged man with a huge bushy moustache gripped an enormous burger with both hands, eyeing it like a saber-tooth tiger deliberating where to lunge at a mammoth. The others at his table weren’t talking much, just smiling into their sweating, frothing beer glasses and percolating peacefully. All was calm, and all was right. The normalcy seemed strange, because at our table we were discussing recent cultural developments—Christians being slowly forced to the margins of society, the increasing threat of government intrusion into Christian education, new strategies to combat abortion ideology, and how the country we hoped to raise children in one day was already so much different than the one our parents had raised us in. On the surface, though, everything seemed lovely, and pleasant, and thoroughly unalarming. No wonder that people who are not watching carefully treat those of us raising the alarm as if we’re crazy, I thought, or maybe just victims of the newest viral conspiracy-theory YouTube video. Talk of “persecution” of Christians in the West sounds a bit ridiculous, especially with crucifixion coming back into style in the Middle East, North Koreans being publicly executed for owning Bibles, and Communist China mulling another crackdown on Christian churches. In contrast to that, Western Christians are, for the most part, still part of one of the richest generations in one of the wealthiest civilizations in all of human history. And yet, the Judeo-Christian foundations of the West that brought such success and such prosperity have either been removed or are in the final stages of demolition. The sanctity of life is gone, but most of us have not noticed simply because we do not toss the corpses of the murdered out the front door into the street, but quietly deposit them in dumpsters behind clinics or vaporize them in modern, up-to-date incinerators. New ideologies have taken over our legal systems, and the short march to labelling Holy Scripture as Hate Speech has already begun. The number of citizens who still attend church or are even aware that Christianity was the life-blood of our civilization is plummeting. Things may be peaceful for the moment, but the dark clouds in the distance bulge with thunder and the rumblings have already begun: Christian universities are told they are ineligible to start a law school because they believe what Christians have always believed, Christian medical professionals are told they will be forced to refer patients for killing, and Christian professionals are subjected to “formal investigations” at the slightest hint that they have violated the new secular religion. This is just the calm before the storm, but because Christians are so distracted with the high drama of ordinary day-to-day life, they may not hear the rumblings until thunder splits the sky. These rumblings are there for those who listen enough to hear them, and they are unfolding as we go about our day, stress about our finances, pick up children from school, and go out for pleasant dinner dates. Our reality is changing. Just a few recent examples: An Edmonton Catholic school teacher was suspended for teaching Christian beliefs in a religion class last week after being accused of “anti-gay” comments by a lesbian couple. A Manitoba school district has also been targeted by a lesbian couple, who are demanding that the children of other people be taught that their family arrangement is normal. They have retained a lawyer, and are bringing the district to a Human Rights Tribunal. A bloody killing spree at a gay nightclub in Orlando brought a widespread condemnation of Christians, with many accusing Christians who oppose same-sex marriage of creating the “anti-queer climate” that spawned the Islamic terrorist. One Christian commentator compared the backlash against Christians to the 1933 Reichstag Fire. Day after day, week after week, month after month, pre-born children in the womb are suctioned into bloody slurry and quietly disposed of, while our leaders declare this barbarism to be a good and noble right. The Canadian Parliament passed a law formally codifying the conditions under which some born Canadians can kill other born Canadians, with euthanasia now becoming the official law of the land. These sobering facts, amid a host of others, show us that while everything seems normal, everything is changing. The ground is shifting beneath our feet as the Judeo-Christian foundations of our society are removed, brick by brick. We need to notice these things. And we need to prepare for them. I write this because I catch myself shaking my head sometimes, at the difference between what I see happening in the culture and the many blessings I am privileged to receive from day to day. While it’s true that I’ve seen the bloody results of abortion up close and personal, and while it’s true that my job takes me into the heart of these existential debates, at the end of the day I can still go home to a lovely house, eat a delicious dinner, and quietly read books on a sunny porch. I have to remind myself that beneath the surface of society, things are changing that could very well impact all of this, and that it is our duty to do what we can while we can to reverse these trends. Later on that evening, I sat on my front steps thinking these things over, wondering what we could do in the face of changes that seem so overwhelming. There’s a Chinese proverb that’s considered both a blessing and a curse all in one, and it came to mind just then: “May you live in interesting times.” To my left, the traffic light made the asphalt glow blood-red, giving the quiet street an eerie feel. After awhile, the light changed and the road gleamed green. I smiled to myself, and thought of the lines from a Dylan Thomas poem that has reminded me often of the euthanasia debate: Do not go gentle into that good night…Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Courts say living by Christian faith illegal

2 cases establish wide range of government punishments

Published: 17 hours ago

It started out with hints of official, United States governmental oppression of Christianity in the wake of the Supreme Court’s marriage decision, such as “discrimination” complaints against people who refuse to celebrate homosexual behavior. Bakers, photographers and marriage-venue owners were penalized, and government officials publicly vilified their Christian faith and ordered them, in some case, to be re-educated. Now two rulings have cemented the American court system’s determination that Christians must not be allowed to express their faith in public life. The U.S. Supreme Court left standing a lower court decision that Washington state pharmacists who are Christian must violate their faith in order to practice their profession. The second decision came from a federal judge in Mississippi with a reputation for ruling against Christians who said county clerks in the state must violate their faith to hold their office. The Supreme Court’s move alarmed Justice Samuel Alito, who warned there was evidence that the “impetus for the adoption of the regulations was hostility to pharmacists whose religious beliefs regarding abortion and contraception are out of step with prevailing opinion in the state.” In the Mississippi ruling from Judge Carlton Reeves, who once punished a school district for allowing a voluntary prayer at an optional awards ceremony, said clerks in the state cannot cited their religious beliefs to excuse themselves from issuing marriage licenses to homosexual duos. Sign the petition demanding and end to the madness! No men in girls’ bathrooms, locker rooms or showers! That case already had been litigated in Kentucky, where Judge David Bunning reached the same conclusion, ordering Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis to violate her faith. When she declined, Bunning abruptly jailed her with no due process. But Kentucky’s legislature simply adopted a provision protecting clerks’ religious rights, and Davis asked that the federal case be closed. In Mississippi, however, not even action by state lawmakers was sufficient for Reeves, who ordered not only that clerks be required to provide services that violate their faith, they must be given “formal notice” of the requirement that they violate their faith. Documentation of hate against Christians WND previously has documented the Big List of cases where there have been government rulings that removed religious rights from Christians. Missouri State University, for example, dismissed a student from a counseling program for expressing opposition to counseling same-sex duos. In Iowa, Gortz Haus Gallery and bistro owners Betty and Richard Odgaard were sued by a homosexual duo. In Texas, David and Edie Delmore, who own a bakery, were approached by Ben Valencia and Luis Marmolejo about a cake for a “gay wedding.” They declined, referring the potential customers to other bakers. Subsequently, they claim their home has been vandalized and their son has been threatened with rape by a broken beer bottle. One business even was attacked for answering a hypothetical question on the issue. Family owned Memories Pizza in Indiana came into the crosshairs of homosexuals when an owner was interviewed by a local TV station in the aftermath of the adoption of the state’s religious freedom law. Responding to a reporter’s question, the owner said that while her restaurant serves “gays,” her Christian faith wouldn’t allow her to cater a “gay wedding.” The restaurant immediately became a focal point of outrage toward the law, with threats of death and destruction, causing the owners to shut down their business. The pharmacists It was the case involving the pharmacists that drew outrage from a minority on the Supreme Court. Washington state adopted rules forcing pharmacists to sell abortion pills to customers regardless of religious beliefs that consider abortion tantamount to murder. The state provided no exception for religious beliefs and refused to allow an accommodation that would simply allow pharmacists with abortion objections to refer customers to another location. After the Supreme Court refused to even review the case, Senior Counsel Kristen Waggoner of the Alliance Defending Freedom said all Americans “should be free to peacefully live and work consistent with their faith without fear of unjust punishment, and no one should be forced to participate in the taking of human life.” “We had hoped that the U.S. Supreme Court would take this opportunity to reaffirm these long-held principles,” she said. Waggoner noted the state of Washington “allows pharmacists to refer customers for just about any reason – except reasons of conscience.” “Singling out people of faith and denying them the same freedom to refer is a violation of federal law. All 49 other states allow conscience-based referrals, which are fully supported by the American Pharmacists Association, the Washington Pharmacy Association, and 36 other pharmacy associations. Not one customer in Washington has been denied timely access to any drug due to a religious objection. As the trial court found, the government designed its law for the ‘primary – if not sole – purpose’ of targeting religious health care providers. We are disappointed that the high court didn’t take this case and uphold the trial court’s finding.” Alito, whose concerns were endorsed by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Clarence Thomas, said the case is “an ominous sign.” “At issue are Washington State regulations that are likely to make a pharmacist unemployable if he or she objects on religious grounds to dispensing certain prescription medications,” the three agreed. “There are strong reasons to doubt whether the regulations were adopted for – or that they actually serve – any legitimate purpose. And there is much evidence that the impetus for the adoption of the regulations was hostility to pharmacists whose religious beliefs regarding abortion and contraception are out of step with prevailing opinion in the state. “Yet the Ninth Circuit held that the regulations do not violate the First Amendment, and this court does not deem the case worthy of our time,” Alito wrote. “If this is a sign of how religious liberty claims will be treated in the years ahead, those who value religious freedom have cause for great concern…. Ralph’s [pharmacy] has raised more than ‘slight suspicion’ that the rules challenged here reflect antipathy toward religious beliefs that do not accord with the views of those holding the levers of government power. I would grant certiorari to ensure that Washington’s novel and concededly unnecessary burden on religious objectors does not trample on fundamental rights.” Judie Brown, president of American Life League, shared the concern: “The Supreme Court is not interested in protecting the conscience rights of Christians. If this does not send shock waves down the spines of every believer in America who knows the difference between good and evil, not to mention what God expects of them, then they do not realize what is at stake. Five members of the Supreme Court of the United States apparently believe that their power is omnipotent. That perception of their power is not only wrong, but dangerous. God’s power is Supreme; theirs is not!” The issue there is that previous Supreme Court precedent not only bans favoritism to a religion, it also bans antipathy toward a religion or its beliefs. Mississippi’s fight In Mississippi, Judge Carlton Reeves has established a reputation for going for the jugular when an issue of faith is at play. He first ruled that a Mississippi school student’s rights were violated because she was offended by a prayer at a public school event. Then he reached off campus, fining the school $7,500, for allowing a pastor to prayer at an optional awards ceremony. The judge determined that Rankin County schools must work harder to excise Christian faith from its students’ education, and he threatened the district with a $10,000 fine if it happens again. His latest broadside to Christian beliefs, the AP reported, was in a lawsuit over same-sex marriage. Reeves said “clerks cannot cite their own religious beliefs to recuse themselves from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples,” AP reported. He also demanded that all 82 clerks be given formal notice. “Mississippi’s elected officials may disagree with [the same-sex marriage mandate], of course, and may express that disagreement as they see fit – by advocating for a constitutional amendment to overturn the decision, for example,” the judge ordered. “But the marriage license issue will not be adjudicated anew after every legislative session.” The report said Mississippi Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, no relation to the activist judge, pointed to the crux of the problem immediately. “If this opinion by the federal court denies even one Mississippian of their fundamental right to practice their religion, then all Mississippians are denied their 1st Amendment rights,” Tate Reeves said. “I hope the state’s attorneys will quickly appeal this decision to the 5th Circuit to protect the deeply held religious beliefs of all Mississippians.” Message to Reeves It was the ruling by Reeves regarding the school that later created a stir in Mississippi. His decision resulted in the school’s band being benched from a halftime show at a football game, because as part of their musical presentation, they included the melody from “How Great Thou Art.” Columnist Todd Starnes at Fox News said the judge may issue an order, but the people may not necessarily bend to his whim. He reported the people decided “a message had to be sent to the likes of Judge Reeves.” “And what they did – would become known as the musical shot heard around the world. During halftime of Friday night’s game – a lone voice began to sing the forbidden song. ‘Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee,’ the singer sang. Brittany Mann was there and she witnessed the entire moment of defiance,” Starnes wrote. “We were just sitting there and then one by one people started to stand,” she told Starnes. “At first, it started out as a hum but the sound got louder and louder.” Soon “hundreds” were singing. “At that moment I was so proud of my town – coming together and taking a stand for something we believe in,” she told Starnes. “It breaks my heart o see where our country is going – getting farther and farther away from the Christian beliefs that our country was founded on.”

The Globalists Have Declared War on Nationalists

Dave Hodges

Trump’s populist views of self-determination are sweeping the planet and the elite are in a sheer panic. Only a few weeks ago, the sheep of the planet were being marched to their Armageddon. The dumbed down masses have managed to mount a ninth inning rally that have sent the elite into frenzy. Hillary Clinton Was Supposed to Usher in the New World Order Through the Fall of America The lies are exposed. Hillary and Bill cannot unring the bill, the truth has been exposed for millions of people to see. Two months ago, I called upon the Independent Media to step up their attacks on Hillary Clinton’s criminal behavior in a last-ditch and desperate effort to derail her presidential aspirations. After issuing my plea, I can happily report that I got more than I had hoped for. Merely a year ago, I was one of the few voices that was pounding away at Hillary Clinton’s sociopathic behavior. Today, the attacks are so bombastic and vitriolic, that I am joyfully reporting that I feel that my voice is being drowned out by a relentless chorus of voices that has Hillary Clinton in a death grip and they won’t let go. This is a great time for humanity. Even if the criminal elite unleash genocidal hell on Earth, at least humanity will die on their feet. There is absolutely no way that the criminal elite can stem the tide of rebellion against their corrupt and satanically inspired rule over the people. The criminal elite had pinned their hopes on Hillary Clinton ushering in the NWO by tearing down what was left of American sovereignty. From a Bilderberg, Trilateral and CFR perspective, this woman was sociopathic enough to do what would need to be done to complete this task. However, the criminal elite forgot to do one thing. They neglected to manage her public image. It is leaders like Clinton and Cameron which have awakened the masses, through their abject criminality, and the people are saying enough is enough. Clinton’s role in the emails, her treason by selling uranium to the Russians to raise money for her foundation, the Benghazi affair, etc., etc, are exploding on the national scene. Former Clinton campaign leaders and Secret Service personnel are speaking out against this despot. The genie will not fit back into the bottle. The elite know this and they are on the verge of a mass nervous breakdown. The playground bully has just been punched in the nose by the 98 pound weakling. Zbigniew Brzezinski saw this awakening coming in 2011 which prompted him to say the following: This is what wounded animals do, they lash out in an uncontrollable manner. The following op-ed piece written for the Council on Foreign Relations captures the criminal elite’s sense of desperation. The Face of Global Elite Arrogance Meet the face of global pomposity and unbridled arrogance. His disdain for “your type” is noteworthy and speaks to the desperation of global criminal elite. His name is James Traub and he and his kind are the absolute enemy of every American. He is the heir to the Bloomingdale industries and a prominent member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Traub’s elitist views leave nothing to the imagination. Writing for the mouthpiece of The Council on Foreign Relations, he leaves little doubt that the the evil empire is going to strike back. It is clear that Traub and his fellow CFR elitist snobs are declaring war on any kind self-determination. He expects every Westerner to relish in their servitude to the globalists as he states the following in the article:

“the Brexit vote…utter repudiation of….bankers and economists”…

“…establishment political parties in major western countries must combine forces to keep out the nationalists”.

“…globalization means culture as well as economics: Older people whose familiar world is vanishing beneath a welter of foreign tongues and multicultural celebrations are waving their fists at cosmopolitan elites.”

“…(describes) the pro-Trump Republican base as “know nothing” voters…”

In one fell swoop, Traub validated several conspiracy theories, as being conspiracy facts as his statements admit to the following conspiratorial beliefs held by much of the Independent Media:

The bankers are involved in a conspiracy that work against the interests of the common man…all wars are bankers’ wars.

The Democrats and the Republicans are “establishment” parties and for all intents and purposes these two parties are two flavors of the same party.

There is an overt admission that illegal immigration is about decultralizing the west.

The “Know-nothing voters” who support Trump should be viewed with extreme disdain (e.g. extremists and domestic terrorists). Conclusion After reading Traub’s article, there is nothing left to the imagination, the elite are in absolute panic. This is what makes the criminal elite so very dangerous. It is my considered opinion that the panicked elite may resort to one of more of the following to reassert control over dumbed down masses, who are awake to the corruption that has ruled over them for so long:

False flag induced martial law, followed by mass incarcerations and genocide.

A complete economic collapse which will pit one useless eater vs. another useless eater.

Bankers start world wars of epic proportions. World War III could be right around the corner.

If this is not the future that you want for your children, you best get off of your backside and get involved in the planet-changing conflict.

Globalists Are Going To Collapse World Economy

Posted on June 29, 2016 Written by Amy S.

AFTER the financial crisis, the world is coming to grips with an unpleasant realisation: serious weaknesses still plague the global economy, and emergency help may not be on the way. Sinking stock prices, flat inflation, and the bizarre phenomenon of negative interest rates have coupled with a downturn in emerging markets to raise worries that the economy is being stalked by threats that central banks — the saviours during the crisis — may struggle to cope with. Meanwhile, commercial banks are again a source of concern, especially in Europe. Banks were the epicentre of the 2007-9 crisis, which started over excessive loans to homeowners with shaky credit in the United States and then swept the globe into recession. Gerald Celente is not the only economist who is predicting an economic collapse in 2016; Professor W. Thompson of Indian University also projects that the economies world over will see a downturn in 2016. Money is flowing out of so-called emerging markets like Brazil, Russia, South Africa and Turkey. Investors pulled $735 billion (€657 billion) out such countries in 2015 — the first year of net outflows since 1988, according to the Institute of International Finance. And emerging markets aren’t so emerging any more: they provide 70% of expected global growth. Central banks led by the US Fed responded to the global recession by slashing interest rates and printing money. That encouraged investors in search of higher returns to place their money in emerging markets. Now the Fed is trying to push up its interest rates, and those flows have gone into reverse, causing financial markets and currencies in emerging markets to sag. Debt becomes harder to repay. IMF chief Christine Lagarde has warned of “spillback” effects from emerging markets on more advanced economies. Stephen Lewis, chief economist at ADM Investor Services International, argues the Fed should simply go ahead with raising rates to a more normal level. “Unless we’re going to paralyse monetary policy in the advanced economies forevermore, it is inevitable that the funds that have gone into emerging markets are going to come back out of them,” he said. This book can help by walking you through a step-by-step process of planning, preparation and action that will help you get ready for the catastrophe you just know is coming. This book is useful for all those who wish to survive the coming catastrophe, and help their families and close friends to survive as well. Fortune favors the prepared. Get ready! Banks Banks stocks have been plunging in the US and Europe. In the US, low oil prices may mean companies involved in expensive oil and gas extraction will be unable to repay loans made to dig wells that are no longer profitable. In Europe, bank shares have been shaken by the bailout of four Italian lenders and fears about €1.2 trillion in bad loans across the 19 country currency union. John Cryan, co-CEO of Deutsche Bank, had to take the unusual step of publicly reassuring that the bank’s finances were “rock-solid” after investors pounded the bank’s stock. The spread of negative interest rates could reduce banks’ profitability, since it squeezes the different between the rates at which banks borrow and at which they lend. Sick banks can choke off credit to companies and dump huge costs on governments, shareholders and creditors. Events that will happen in the aftermath of American Economic Collapse of 2016. Martial law: Considering the widespread impact of a collapsing economy on the sentiments of people, it is expected that the government will use the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to its advantage. The NDAA will give the government the power to detain any individual considered as a threat for an indefinite period. RELATED : Fema Warns of Civil Unrest on 395% Food Price Increase Travel restrictions: An American economic collapse in 2016 can trigger travel restrictions, including suspension of passports. An economic collapse will also cause travel restrictions to be put in place at highways/checkpoints. Confiscation of wealth: A catastrophic economic collapse can make the government to take extreme steps, which also includes confiscation of wealth. The laws passed by the European Union give it the authority to confiscate bank accounts through bail-ins. Although real estate and precious metals are not covered under the rule, but it doesn’t mean that they are safe. Governments around the world have been known to make some difficult decisions whenever their economies are in dire straits, and 2016 can turn out that point of time in history. Shortage of food: An economic collapse can lead to shortage of food in the world. The food industry is expected to take a severe hit as it survives mostly on small profit margins. Economic crisis These were a few events that are likely to occur after the global economic collapse of 2016. As was the case with previous economic crashes, people who could see the tide coming were not only able to save their fortune, but also use the bearishness of the market to their advantage. Although the mainstream media will make you believe that the economy is on a solid footing, the ground reality is starkly different. It is everyone’s prerogative to take the right steps and save prepare for the economic catastrophe that will be the year 2016.

Greenspan Just Recommended Return to Gold Standard

9:50AM Update: Greenspan says the next unexpected U.S. economic move will be on the inflation side and “although we don’t have inflation now, you don’t have it until it’s there”. Greenspan also called U.S. entitlements the “third rail” of American politics “you touch it and you die“. He said the “whole entire U.S. Presidential election should be about entitlements”, but all of the candidates will be afraid to discuss it. Original Post: Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan was just a guest on Bloomberg news and recommended that the U.S. return to a gold standard! He then said, “if people call me a gold bug, they should ask themselves why do central banks own gold now?!”

Another Mysterious Death Surrounding Hillary Clinton - Former UN General Assembly President Was Scheduled To Testify In Corruption Trial Involving 'The Black Widow Of Politics' - Drops Barbell On His Neck - Just An Accident Or Something Much More? 'Bigger Than Vince Foster'

June 27, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

What do you think the chances are that, while lifting weights soon before you're scheduled to testify in a corruption trial involving Hillary Clinton and others, you accidentally drop the barbell and the weights you were lifting upon your neck, ending your life and preventing your testimony? If you were the former President of the United Nations General Assembly John Ashe from Antigua and Barbuda, the odds became 100% just days ago after the former President, awaiting a bribery scandal trial, was killed during a weightlifting accident after he was allegedly 'accidentally asphyxiated' by the dropped weights. Ashe's death thus adds one more name to an ever-expanding list of people who have mysteriously met their untimely ends and, coincidentally or not, had ties to either/or both Hillary Clinton and/or her husband Bill as heard in the first video below. The story from Page Six tells us that the death of Ashe could become a bigger 'conspiracy theory' than the death of Vince Foster, especially considering Hillary is now only one election away from becoming the president of the USA. Seeing that that's the case, we felt it necessary to once again take a look at this ever-expanding 'Clinton body count' that likely just had one more name added to it. How is it that the Clinton family has been surrounded by SO MANY mysterious deaths? As of June of 2015, at least 46 people who were close to the Clinton's have met their untimely end. The evergrowing list kept by What Really Happened has just been updated for the 2016 election to include Ashe's death and the list is now up to at least 48. Is it simply a 'coincidence' that so many people have mysteriously died around the Clinton's or is there something sinister at play...such as...murder? Just knowing that Hillary is still running for president of the USA rather than being prosecuted while the list of bodies that surrounds her and Bill continues to grow shows how absolutely corrupt America has become and completely obliterates what the word 'justice' is supposed to mean. If these people can get away with having so many people killed and are still walking the streets of America with Hitlery now attempting to become president, law and order means absolutely NOTHING in this country any more if our 'leaders' can break the law any time they want and have others killed. Does anybody really think that the death of Ashe, or any of the others who mysteriously met their ends and were tied to the Clintons, will be solved and those responsible held accountable? If you really do, we've got some nice farmland right in the heart of Washington DC that we can sell you....and it's dirt cheap. Why would Americans even think about (s)electing somebody to the highest office of the land who has been completely outed as being 'pure evil' with a lengthy body count surrounding them as heard in the 2nd video below from Evangelist K L Rich? As our videographer tells us, it's clear the mainstream media doesn't want this information getting out there, but should the American people really be kept in the dark about this? Would a (s)election of Hillary, 'the queen of blood,' to the highest office in the land insure our total destruction? Would America even deserve 'redemption' if 'pure evil with a running body count' is voted into the highest office in the land or is a 'President Hillary Clinton' in our future simply another sign that America is rightfully doomed? From Mena, Arkansas to Vince Foster, from Benghazi to Mary Mahoney, from Ron Brown to James Bunch, we hear in the 2nd video below why Hillary Clinton is the 'black widow of politics'. If Hitlery in the White House is the best that America can do, it's only fitting that our nation would deserve the fate that another Clinton presidency would bring us. We'd also expect that such a situation would see a massive explosion of 'the dead' as Hillary gets the NDAA and the full power of the US presidency behind her to help her do her dirty work. If we thought Bill and Obama were bad, we haven't seen anything yet. Ashe — who was facing trial for tax fraud — died Wednesday afternoon in his house in Westchester County. The UN said he’d had a heart attack. But the local Dobbs Ferry police said Thursday that his throat had been crushed, presumably by a barbell he dropped while pumping iron. Ashe was due in court Monday with his Chinese businessman co-defendant Ng Lap Seng, who is charged with smuggling $4.5 million into the US since 2013 and lying that it was to buy art and casino chips. Ng was identified in a 1998 Senate report as the source of hundreds of thousands of dollars illegally funneled through an Arkansas restaurant owner, Charlie Trie, to the Democratic National Committee during the Clinton administration. (Ng was not charged with any crime.) Ng and Trie had visited the White House several times for Democratic fundraising events and were photographed with then-President Bill Clinton and first lady Hillary Clinton. One source told me, “During the trial, the prosecutors would have linked Ashe to the Clinton bagman Ng. It would have been very embarrassing. His death was conveniently timed.”

FBI failed to tell hundreds of Americans that they were on an ISIS kill list after discovering 15,000 U.S. citizens were potential targets

Names of targets found by security officials on encrypted terror websites

15,000 people were and potentially remain as targets for ISIS extremists

But probe has discovered hundreds of those listed never knew about threat

In Texas, just two of 24 people contacted were aware they were on the list

By Euan McLelland For MailOnline Published: 10:07 EST, 28 June 2016 | Updated: 13:34 EST, 28 June 2016

Americans discovered on an ISIS kill list obtained by the FBI were not told about the potential risk facing them, a probe has discovered. The names of more than 15,000 U.S citizens - including teachers, members of the military and art dealers - were found by security officials on encrypted Islamic State websites. They were and potentially still are targets for lone wolf extremists and sleeper cells looking to bring terror to American shores. However, at no point were many made aware of the threat they faced - only finding out when contacted by a team of investigative journalists. Circa News obtained the details of targets in New York, Texas, Florida and California. After phoning them, they were stunned to learn that the high majority had no idea about ISIS vendetta against them. Former FBI counter-terrorism agent Chad Jenkins was astonished by the lack of information those people had been given. He said: 'If we aren't notifying private citizens that is a disservice. 'If we're not then we need to be asking those questions as fellow Americans why that's not being done right now, especially with the evolving threat that we have seen so recently from ISIS-inspired and ISIS themselves here in America.' Between March 2 and the end of May, hacked ISIS accounts exposed eight kill lists. They included the names and addresses of 70 plus military personnel or family members, 56 New Jersey state police officers, 36 Minnesota state police officers, 11 county board members in Tennessee, 50 federal employees, and dozens of New York residents. In Texas, just two of the 24 people contacted whose names were on the hit lists were aware of the threat against them. One Austin woman who was told she and her friends were on the list told the site: 'I was terrified. We live in a different world and the Jewish community is a number one target of these radicals. 'I'm very upset that I was not notified by the FBI or local law enforcement.' When Circa asked the local police forces if they knew anything about their residents on the hit list, they too admitted that they had been left in the dark. 'We were not contacted by the Army or the FBI referencing the threat to our citizen,' Corpus Christi, Police spokesman Chris Hooper said. The FBI officials have said they planned on notifying every person on the kill list. A spokesperson said: 'The FBI routinely notifies individuals and organizations of potential threat information. 'We perform these notifications so potential victims are aware of possible threats and take appropriate steps. 'The FBI will continue to work closely with federal, state, and local partners to keep the public informed of potential threats.'

WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN. . . . .

June 29, 2016 By Contributor 86 Comments

Guest post – Anonymous Honey Badger’s opinion…

The world is turning into a mass of S#*T real quick like! There, I said it. I’m a 55+-year-old who’s been married for over thirty years to the most beautiful woman on earth! I am a bacon loving, gun totin’, non-politically correct individual who remembers what it was like yesterday! You see what is happening today all across Europe. The Liberal Leftist attitude and socialist ways of thinking are destroying an entire continent by bringing in millions of undocumented and unvetted immigrants. They are actually teaching the Political Correctness crap in US colleges nowadays. Free Speech Zones? What the hell is all that about? America used to be a Free Speech Country, not anymore! Ideologists with very different political and religious views are wreaking havoc across the world. Paris, Belgium, and Germany are all catching hell! Why? Because the Left seems to think it’s more important to appease these “refugees” than their own citizens. Who cares right? You and I MUST! What will you do when this stupidity comes to America? To your state? To your town? To your street? Oh wait, it’s already here! Chicago’s mass protests with thousands of Muslims chanting “Death to America’. They are in America chanting that! That’s interesting, isn’t it? How about cities in Michigan, like Dearborn, that are allowing Muslim men to have more than one wife and be on welfare! Some cities are even considering Sharia Law. That means a woman could be stoned to death after being raped because she had unmarried sex, talk about a screwed up law! This would also allow men to marry little girls. . . Underage little girls! Your little girls. Sharia also says its ok for a husband to beat his wife if she doesn’t do what he tells her to do, or if she has a. . . . “headache!” Don’t even get me started on “honor killings.” I want to take this moment to say that I am NOT in any way against immigration or immigrants; after all, we are all immigrants to this great nation. I’m a mutt when it comes to heritage. Most of it is German but, there is some French, Dutch, English, and even some Irish. Yeah, I’m a mutt. All of our ancestors originally came from someplace else and assimilated into the new culture and we made it our own – America. That’s it in a nutshell right there. ASSIMILATION! Take a look back at American history at the turn of the 20th century (you could even go back a few hundred years, too). Immigrants from all over Europe poured into the United States, from China, from Germany, from Italy. They learned the “English” language, they became productive members of society, they became good neighbors, they obeyed the laws (well, most of them anyway). They embraced their new home and society, they ASSIMILATED! They became AMERICANS! What do you see in Europe today? None of these new European “refugees” seem to want to assimilate into their new societies. They are taken in by a host nation and then they riot for this reason or that. Why? Because they are NOT immigrants, they are invaders and they are NOT going to assimilate, they are there to wage a holy war or jihad against their new home in order to take over and rule the current population. For Europe, it’s too late! Why? Studies show that the Islamic invaders are multiplying faster than their local indigenous counterparts. They will outnumber the local populace in about 25 years or so! Most of them are not becoming productive members of society, they are actually getting food stamps and welfare for themselves, their wives (yes, often more than one) and their numerous children. This is counterproductive to society and is a form of financial jihad. They are rioting in the streets and the local governments are stretched to the limits to refrain and restrain since most of the national governments want to prohibit any actions against the so-called immigrants. Local governments often refrain from punishments so as to not “offend” their new neighbors. Sounds a lot like San Francisco, doesn’t it? Sanctuary cities – don’t get me started on that either! I have known many Iraqi and Afghani Muslims and have worked right next to several. Most of them that I knew were fine people. But, as with any religion, you have those that swear by the word of their Holy Books. They take every word literally. If you look back thru history, you will find that Muslims and Islam has been at war since Muhammad walked the earth. . . And they still are. So much for the Religion of Peace. I am a red-blooded American male and I’m not trying to insult anyone but, have you ever seen many European men? They have soft pale skin, no muscular builds, little facial hair and are generally soft-spoken. The average American male is exactly opposite! Europe is going to have a very difficult time with this Fundamental Transformation. Sounds a lot like what Obama spoke of during his elections, huh? Seriously, think about this for a minute. What would you do if you saw ISIS, their black flags, and their US supplied tan Toyotas cruising down I-95 or say I-10? Again, I’ll return to my original question. . . What will you do when this stupidity comes to America? To your state? To your town? To your street? What would you do if the next mass shooting, like Orlando, was in your town? Are you ready? Do you have the male fortitude to deal with it or will you, like so many other Sheeple, run and hide, to live another day in fear? Are you prepared to stay alive? Are you prepared to do what must be done in order to protect yourself and your family and you neighborhood and your city? A side note: There are over 30 Muslim Jihadist Training Compounds in 17 states. Pity the US Government allows this, because they know! Whose side are they on anyway? Hint – it’s not yours or mine! Is there one in your state? It might behoove you to do some research to find out! I will not go looking for it but, if trouble comes to me, I’m all in and it’s going to get ugly real quick. Sorry but, like the old saying goes, “I’d rather die on my feet, than live on my knees.” If it EVER comes to my town or anywhere near it for that matter, I promise you this, I may be end up dead in that fight, but I will NOT the first to fall!

Secret cabal of Gaddafi loyalists rescued Americans trapped during Benghazi terror attacks despite Obama's role in deposing Libyan dictator, damning report claims

Libyans loyal to Colonel Gaddafi saved American lives in Benghazi

Intelligence failures led to the fatal attack on the US consulate in 2012

A 800-page report has criticized the lack of military response on the day

The $7million report did not find any evidence against Hillary Clinton

By Darren Boyle for MailOnline Published: 03:35 EST, 29 June 2016 | Updated: 08:54 EST, 29 June 2016

A secret cabal of Gaddafi loyalists rescued US personnel trapped during the Benghazi terror attacks on September 11, 2012 despite President Obama's attempts to overthrow the Libyan dictator.

The CIA was unaware of the group at the time of the attack which was launched on the US consulate in the coastal city which claimed the lives of four Americans, including the Ambassador Chris Stevens, according to an 800-page report. The report, which cost $7 million and included a two-year investigation into the events surrounding the attack did not find any 'smoking gun' aimed at current presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, who at that time was Secretary of State. On September 11, 2012 a group of heavily-armed men stormed the US consulate. Ambassador Stevens and State Department officer Sean Smith were separated from the joint Libyan / American team providing security for the consulate. Stevens and Smith retreated to a 'safe room' in the consulate behind a heavy steel door. However, the terrorists set fire to the building and it is believed both men died of smoke inhalation. Their bodies were recovered from the building by a group of Libyans, now believed to be Gaddafi loyalists, according to the new 800-page report. Some five hours after the initial attack on the compound, militants launched a mortar attack on a separate CIA compound killing former US Navy SEALS Glen Doherty and Tyrone S. Woods. Two other Americans were wounded. Clinton was grilled by the House Benghazi committee for almost 11 hours. Republican Trey Gowdy asked 'the American people to read this report for themselves, look at the evidence we have collected and reach their own conclusions'. The report is highly critical of intelligence failures which failed to predict the fatal assault as well as the military who failed to act. Clinton defended herself claiming the report did not uncover any further evidence against her. 'I think i'ts pretty clear it's time to move on.' Both Clinton and President Barack Obama faced criticism after trying to blame the assault on a protest against an offensive film about Muslims, instead of a pre-arranged terrorist attack. Military leaders have testified repeatedly that they didn't have intelligence information on what was happening or the resources on alert to respond in time to the attacks, which occurred at two separate locations over 13 hours. The State Department also issued a statement Tuesday, saying that the 'essential facts' of the attacks 'have been known for some time', and have been the subject of numerous reviews, including one by an independent review board. The State Department defended locating a diplomatic outpost in the eastern coastal city of Benghazi. A report by the House Benghazi panel is faulting the military for its slow response sending resources to Benghazi, Libya, during deadly 2012 attacks on a U.S. outpost - despite clear orders from President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. Gowdy says the Libyan forces that evacuated Americans from the CIA annex in Benghazi were not affiliated with any of the militias the CIA or State Department had developed a relationship with during the previous 18 months.

Muslim in Eastern Uganda Burns 9-Year-Old Son for Accepting Christ, Sources Say

Boy tied to tree with dry leaves that catch fire.

June 24, 2016 By Our East Africa Correspondent -

NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – The Muslim father of a 9-year-old boy in eastern Uganda who put his faith in Christ this month tied his son to a tree and burned him, sources said. Nassif Malagara of the Kakira Parish area, Kisozi Sub-County, Kamuli District decided to become a Christian after a neighbor took him to visit a church in another village, undisclosed for security reasons, on June 5. “At the end of the service, Nassif remained behind and then followed me to the church’s pastry room and requested that he wanted to receive Jesus as his personal savior,” the pastor of the church told Morning Star News. “I was a bit hesitant, but after his continuous press, I then prayed with him, and he left.” Nassif subsequently declined to participate in any Muslim activities, including attending a madrassa (Islamic school), the pastor said. His father, 36-year-old Abubakar Malagara, and stepmother, Madina Namwaje, 35, became furious when they learned he had converted to Christianity, the pastor said. The boy told Morning Star News that his parents prohibited him from eating, beyond the day-time fast of Ramadan, so that he went without food for two days before sneaking to his neighbor’s house for food. He brought food back to his home over the next few days, and on June 9 his father caught him eating. “He started beating me up with sticks, but I managed to escape to a nearby bush,” Nassif said. “My father then followed me and got hold of me back to the homestead, where he tied me up to a banana tree. He went into the house and came back with a hot piece of wood. The banana tree had dry leaves, which caught fire and caused serious burns on my body.” Neighbors heard his screams for help and rescued him, he said, and took him to Kamuli Hospital. The hospital’s Walwawo Zubari told Morning Star News that Nassif had burns on several parts of his body. “Nassif has been recovering, but at a very slow pace,” Zubari said. “He might need to be referred to another hospital for specialized treatment.” A relative told Morning Star News that she hopes to take custody of Nassif after his release from the hospital. Area residents alerted Kisozi Police Post, and officers arrested Malagara, registering the case under reference number CRR044/2016. Malagara, who attends Nankaduro mosque, has been released on bail. The neighbor (name withheld for security reasons) who introduced Nassif to the church said he fears for his life after receiving a threatening text message on his phone. “We know that you are behind the conversion of Nassif to Christianity,” the message read. “You will soon reap what you have sown, which will be a lesson to others. Islam is against such conversion.” The sender blocked his identity, but the neighbor said he suspects Malagara might have used another Muslim’s phone to send the message. About 85 percent of the people in Uganda are Christian and 11 percent Muslim, with some eastern areas having large Muslim populations. The country’s constitution and other laws provide for religious freedom, including the right to propagate one’s faith and convert from one faith to another. Kamuli District is about 220 kilometers (136 miles) from Mbale Town in eastern Uganda. Nassif’s case comes after a Christian in eastern Uganda who had received death threats from Muslims after a religious discussion was killed on June 4. The body of Yokannah Zirinkuma of Kasasira village, Kibuku District, was found in a pool of blood in nearby Kadama village, near the home of the primary suspect. Zirinkuma was 50. On May 15 in Kasecha village, Kibuku District, Micah Byamukama, pastor of Kasecha Baptist Church, died at Kabweri Health Centre after ingesting an insecticide that a Muslim villager was suspected of putting into his food. He was 61. On May 8 in Mbaale village, Imanyiro Sub-County, Mayuge District, a Muslim strangled his wife to death for leaving Islam, relatives and neighbors said. Awali Kakaire, 34, allegedly killed Mariam Nakirya for embracing Christianity. She was 30. On April 19, Muslims in Pallisa District beat and raped a young Christian woman for testifying that a mosque leader killed her father because of his faith, sources said. The imam at a mosque in Kanyumu village, Sheikh Musana Ibrahim, and two other Muslims killed Samson Mukama on Jan. 28, according to his daughter. On April 4, a Muslim in Kachomo village, Budaka District, attacked his wife for becoming a Christian, telling a judge that Islam allows him to kill any apostate, sources said. Having moved to another village with their four children following an attack last year, Ntende Hawa, 38, said she was visiting her estranged husband to discuss child support when he questioned her about her faith and began strangling her. Her husband’s brother stopped the assault. Threats from hard-line Muslims and the rape of her 13-year-old daughter forced a Christian mother of five children to flee their village in eastern Uganda in March, sources said. Amina Napiya, a 42-year-old widow, fled her home in Nakajete village, Budaka Town Council, on March 16. Napiya and her five children fled after receiving a text message that the family would be killed for leaving Islam, she said. Napiya’s daughter was raped on Feb. 25 while fetching firewood a kilometer from their home at about 4:30 p.m., the widow said. Napiya believes relatives may have hired Taika Suleiman, arrested in connection with the alleged rape, to assault her daughter because of their faith, as her daughter told her that the rapist said, “This is the second warning to your mother for disgracing the faith of the Muslims.” On Jan. 10, relatives of Abdu Nsera, a recent high school graduate in Katende village near Busede, Jinja District, beat him after finding out he had left Islam to become a Christian. They burned down a house they had built for him and have been searching for him after he fled. On Jan. 27 in Numuseru village, Naboa Sub-County in Budaka District, the body of Laurence Maiso was found at his house, his head in a pool of blood. Four days earlier, Imam Kamulali Hussein had met him and his wife on a local road and told him, “Allah is about to send to you the Angel of Death in your house. Please prepare to meet him at any time.” On Dec. 23, 2015, a pastor in eastern Uganda was hacked to death as he and other church members resisted an effort by Muslims to take over their land in Nansololo village near Mazuba, in Namutumba District, area church leaders said. Pastor Bongo Martin is survived by a widow and two children. In another area of eastern Uganda, five underground Christians in a predominantly Muslim village, including a pregnant mother, died from a pesticide put into their food after a Bible study on Dec. 18, area sources said. The Bible study took place in Kachomo village, Kachomo Sub-County, Budaka District at the home of Hajii Suleiman Sajjabi, a convert from Islam who had begun the study with eight family members who had come to faith in Christ under his influence. Four of Sajjabi’s relatives have died, as did a pregnant neighbor, according to area sources. A doctor at Mbale Regional Hospital said a postmortem test showed a substance known as Malathion, a low-toxicity pesticide, in those who had died. Though low-level toxic, Malathion when ingested quickly metabolizes into highly toxic Tomalaoxon. Islamic extremists in eastern Uganda on Dec. 8, 2015 set a deadly trap for a Christian policeman who had left Islam, and the next day other hard-line Muslims kidnapped three children from another convert in a nearby village. More than 20 Muslim extremists in the Komodo area of Kadama Sub-County, Kibuku District, killed officer Ismail Kuloba at about 4 p.m. after he responded to an urgent call to intervene in a supposed land dispute between warring parties, an area Christian told Morning Star News. Kuloba was 43. One of the assailants, Mudangha Kasimu, threw a stone that hit Kuloba in the forehead. Kasimu then shot him twice in the head, and he died as other Muslims were shouting, ‘Allah Akbar [God is greater],’” sources said. About 12 miles east in Kabuna, near Budaka in Kaderuna District, a group of Muslim men from Pallisa on Dec. 9 kidnapped three children of Madengho Badir, a Christian convert from Islam, sources said. Badir, 42, arrived at his home in Kabuna Sub-County, Kabuna parish, at 10 p.m. to find 5-year-old Nabukwasi Shakira, 7-year-old Gessa Amuza and 10-year-old Wagti Musitafa missing. An area source said a 14-year-old boy from Kabuna, Karami Hassan, was with Badir’s three children when they were abducted near their home. The boy said a group of Muslims from Pallisa were looking for Badir, and the boy led them to Badir’s children. Outside of Kabeshai, near Pallisa, a Christian father of five who supported 10 children whose families had disowned them for leaving Islam was killed on Dec. 2. One of three men who attacked Patrick Ojangole reproached him for failing to heed a warning to cease his Christian activities before the Christian was killed, said a witness who was with Ojangole and escaped. Ojangole was 43. On Nov. 12, 2015, the father of a young Muslim woman in east Uganda tried to beat her to death after she became a Christian, but community leaders intervened and limited him to disowning her, sources said. Kibida Muyemba learned that his 21-year-old daughter, Namusisi Birye, had put her faith in Christ at an evangelistic campaign held that day in Nandere village, Kadama Sub-County, Kibuku District, 41 kilometers (25 miles) west of Mbale, church leaders told Morning Star News. Birye and a man in the traditional dress of an imam confessed openly to receiving Christ, they said, and angry Muslims cut the event short. On Oct. 19, 2015, Muslims in Kalampete village, Kibuku District who were angry at a Christian for leaving Islam killed his wife, a month after his brother was killed for the same reason. Mamwikomba Mwanika, mother of three adult children and five others ranging in age from 17 to 9, died en route to a hospital after Muslims unknown to her dragged her from her home at about 9 p.m. and assaulted her, survivors said. Her husband’s brother, Samson Nfunyeku, was killed in the village on Sept. 23 after flaring tempers cut short a religious debate he’d had with Islamic scholars. In Nsinze village, Namutumba District, a Muslim beat and left for dead his wife and 18-year-old son on Aug. 11 after learning they had converted to Christianity, area sources said. Issa Kasoono beat and strangled his wife, Jafalan Kadondi, but she survived, said a source who requested anonymity. He said other relatives joined Kasoono in beating her and their two sons, Ibrahim Kasoono, 18, and Ismael Feruza, 16, though the younger son managed to escape with only bruises on his arm. The wife of a former sheikh was poisoned to death on June 17, 2015 after she and her husband put their faith in Christ in Nabuli village, Kibuku District. Namumbeiza Swabura was the mother of 11 children, including a 5-month-old baby. In Kiryolo, Kaderuna Sub-County, Budaka District on March 28, 2015, five Muslims gang-raped the 17-year-old daughter of a pastor because the church leader ignored their warnings that he stop worship services, she said.

Lebanese Christian women armed with machine guns patrol their border village after jihadis launch suicide attacks

ISIS is suspected of launching nine attacks including eight suicide bombs on the Lebanese border town of Qaa

The area has a strong Christian population and members were attacked as they went to a church service yesterday

Lebanese special forces rounded up 103 suspected illegal migrants from Syria in a security sweep earlier today

The Lebanese government accused ISIS of being behind the deadly attacks on Qaa which killed five pepole

Lebanese Christian women have launched armed patrols carry machine guns after their village was attacked by a jihadi suicide bombers. The women from the Christian village Qaa, which is a few hundred metres from Syria, was attacked by several suicide bombers on Monday. The attacks have prompted the government to round up 103 Syrian migrants who are accused of sneaking into the country illegally. Lebanese troops have detained a 103 Syrians accused of entering the country illegally following a string of suicide attacks along the border. Lebanon shares a 250-mile land border with Syria to the north and the east. The strikes on Qaa killed five people, with suicide bombers even attacking ambulances ferrying victims from earlier attacks. A government statement said: 'The attack on the Lebanese national security and the unfamiliar manner in which it was executed usher in a new kind of phase in the state's confrontation with the dark forces of terrorism.' The bombings triggered fear and panic among Qaa's residents and a deepening sense of foreboding in Lebanon, which has grappled for over five years with spillovers from Syria's civil war. Tuesday was declared a national day of mourning and authorities postponed funerals for the five killed in Monday's bombings, citing security reasons. A major religious event scheduled in the capital, Beirut, by the militant Hezbollah group was also postponed. Also citing security concerns, the ministry of culture postponed the opening of the Bacchus Temple, part of the famed ruins of Baalbek. A troupe of Syrian actors roaming the Bekaa Valley with a performance about refugee woes postponed its tour. A limited curfew was imposed in Qaa and the surrounding area. The army said it carried out security raids in six areas in the Baalbek region, which has many informal Syrian refugee settlements. It said nine motorcycles and two vehicles were confiscated and two Lebanese were arrested with illegal weapons. Monday's explosions, four in the early morning and five at night, also wounded nearly 30 in Qaa. Later in the day, two bombers blew themselves up outside the village church as people gathered for funerals of those killed earlier Monday. The army said one of the suicide bombers detonated his explosives as he was chased by troops, while the other blew himself up near a military post when guards fired at him. No one was killed but the two blasts wounded 13 people. Minister of Interior Nouhad Machnouk said initial investigations indicate most of the bombers were from inside Syria and not refugees. He didn't elaborate. Private Lebanese OTV aired what it said was footage from security cameras in Qaa, purporting to show a young man involved in the attack. The footage shows the young man with a backpack heading to a gathering outside the church, apparently to blow himself up. Qaa and the nearby Ras Baalbek are the only two villages with a Christian majority in the predominantly Shiite Hermel region, where the Shiite Hezbollah group holds sway. The group has sent thousands of its fighters to Syria to bolster President Bashar Assad's forces against the predominantly Sunni rebels trying to topple him. Hezbollah's Al-Manar TV blamed Monday's attack on ISIS, Al-Mustaqbal daily, which is owned by Hezbollah's rival group, suggested the army was the target of the attack. No group has claimed responsibility for the bombings. Sunni extremists have carried out several attacks in the border area since Syria's conflict began in March 2011, leading the Christians of Qaa to set up self-defense units for their village. Officials believe ISIS was responsible for the attacks, but there has not been a claim of responsibility. Interior Minister Nohad Machnouk, speaking from Qaa, said most of the attackers had come from inside Syria, and not refugee camps hosting Syrian refugees who number more than 1 million in Lebanon according to the U.N. refugee agency UNHCR. Local authorities imposed curfews on Syrian refugees in the area following the attacks. The Lebanese army said it had mounted dawn raids on Syrian refugee camps, detaining 103 people for being illegally present in the country. The majority of Syrian refugees have no legal status in Lebanon due to the complications and costs of obtaining or renewing residency rights under rules imposed by the Lebanese government, aid agencies say. In Qaa, residents armed with assault rifles fanned out in the streets for several hours on Tuesday, citing the need to protect the area. They later dispersed when the army asked them to go home. The head of the Qaa local council had on Monday night urged residents to shoot anyone suspicious. Security sources said Hezbollah deployed dozens of armed men in nearby villages to help secure the area. 'We are not leaving for sure, we are staying here ... we are not afraid. We are not leaving our land,' Maher Rizk, a cafe owner, said.

Increased volcanic activity in the last 24 hours: Popocatepetl volcano, Colima volcano and Santamaria volcano explosions By Strange Sounds - Jun 29, 2016

Within the last 24 hours, increased volcanic activity has been reported in Mexico and Guatemala.

The Popocatepetl volcano, the Colima volcano and the Santa Maria volcano have explosed almost simultaneously. Colima explosion on June 28, 2016 As shown by the following video from WebCamsdeMexico, the Colima volcano erupted strongly on June 28, 2016 at 7:31 am: In the last 24 hours, 3 explosions (at 8:50, 09:24 and 09:36), 4 volcano tectonic earthquakes (M1.5, M1.6, M1.8 and M1.8), 202 long period earthquakes, and 42 minutes of low amplitude harmonic tremor have been captured. During the night, glow sources within the crater were observed and the volcano expels continuously a steam and gas emission moving towards northeast. CENAPRED emphasizes that people SHOULD NOT go near the volcano, especially near the crater, due to the hazard caused by ballistic fragments. Explosion of Santa Maria volcano on June 27, 2016 The volcano threw ash and gas column to a height of 5000 meters on June 27, 2016. Here some nice pictures: Do you see the elephant in the next picture? And now a dinosaur! Awesome! As shown in the next video, lahars have also been filmed going down the slope of the Santiaguito volcano on June 24, 2016: Could the Popocatepetl volcanic explosion be linked to the M5.7 earthquake that struck southern Mexico on June 27, 2016? A strong earthquake struck in southern Mexico on Monday afternoon, which was felt in five states. Tall buildings swayed in Mexico City 215 miles (350 kilometers) from the quake’s epicenter. No injured or significant damage have been reported. One day after, the Popocatepetl volcano exploded three times. The volcano is situated in the area were tremors have been felt and thus the eruption could have been triggered by the strong quake. However, it is still unknown if earthquakes can produce volcano eruptions. Scientists are still debating the topic.

Jan Crouch Is Remembered as a Broadcasting Genius Who Leaves a Great Legacy

9:00AM EDT 6/1/2016 Steve Strang

When I learned Jan Crouch had a massive stroke last week, memories came flooding back to me. When I learned she passed away Tuesday, I decided to share my thoughts as my way of paying tribute to a great woman. I had known Jan and her husband, Paul, since the mid-1980s, only about 10 years after the Trinity Broadcast Network (TBN) began. It was already large then, but who would have guessed how it would grow to dominate and define Christian TV as it has? I got to know the Crouches when I was a guest several times on their flagship program, Praise the Lord. I observed that Paul was the builder and consummate negotiator and businessman. No detail of their huge operation escaped his scrutiny. I could also see Jan was the programmer and the decorator. The elaborate sets with the columns, gold leaf and French provincial look were her doing. Even though many thought the sets were overdone, I thought they were beautiful. But that was Jan. She was beautiful—even if overdone—with her makeup, pink wigs and elaborate outfits. At the same time, she was a spiritual woman. She loved the Bible and would read long passages on the air. She had a heart for the lost, and leading people to Christ was always a part of what TBN did. Several years ago, I talked to an elderly, retired Assemblies of God missionary who knew Jan in the 1950s when Jan was a teenager at her father's church in Columbus, Georgia. Our obituary of Jan tells of her roots in the Assemblies of God. This missionary and her husband would occasionally preach for Jan's father. She said she remembers Jan being full of life and playfulness. Even back then, she would use food coloring to dye a streak of some odd color in her hair. Yet after the service Jan would be the first to the altar, seeking God's will for her life. That anecdote to me was a foreshadowing of the personality Jan developed—a bit outlandish by the standards of many but a deeply spiritual woman. Over the years, Charisma covered the Crouches. I even wrote a few of the stories. Once, we wanted to shoot a cover picture while Paul and Jan were in Orlando shooting a special Praise the Lord show at a large church. Jan didn't want to be in the photo because she didn't like what she was wearing. I tried to persuade her, assuring her she looked fine—besides, she was going to appear on national TV soon wearing that same outfit. But she said print photos were permanent and that picture would be around a long time. I found that an interesting perspective from someone who almost lived in front of a TV camera. My articles told of the great struggles they had at the start and how TBN almost didn't make it. In the early days, TBN was considered smaller than Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcast Network (CBN) or Jim Bakker's PTL (which was "borrowed" from the Crouch's Praise the Lord). When Pat Robertson ran for president in 1988, CBN morphed into the Family Channel, and when scandal brought down PTL, TBN became No. 1 and has continued to explode, as some of our articles have documented. Jan was undoubtedly a genius who put together the lineup of programs people wanted to see. She was the one who suggested Charisma do a big special in 1990 for our 15th anniversary. More than 5,000 people attended a live taping at Calvary Assembly in Orlando. We had a few commercials in which we sold subscriptions, and we ultimately sold more than enough to pay for it. I was elated. For us, it was a huge risk, but it paid off. When I started Charisma, I never thought we might expand into television. Not long after that, Jan suggested I host an interview program called The Other Side of the Story. We shot a pilot with Tammy Faye Bakker telling her side of the PTL scandal. It was a great interview, but I was out of my element and afraid we'd run out of people who had been pilloried in the press and needed this outlet to tell their side of the story. Jan must have felt the same way, as we mutually agreed not to continue beyond the pilot. A couple of years later, we tried again with a 30-minute, journalistic, magazine-format TV program called Charisma Now. Over three years, we shot 100 episodes, many of them on-location by going to the offices of people like Bishop T.D. Jakes or Dr. Reginald Cherry. I hired a young freelancer named Matt Crouch (Paul and Jan's youngest son), who was then making a name for himself shooting TV programs like ours and who was beginning to shoot movies like Megiddo: The Omega Code 2 and later One Night With the King, starring Omar Sharif and Tiffany Dupont. We also went together to Toronto to cover the "Toronto Blessing" and to Pensacola, Florida, to cover the Brownsville revival. Once, while shooting in Dallas, Matt took me for a tour of TBN's impressive facilities and told me the stories behind how decisions were made to invest in various facilities. It was fascinating, off-the-record stuff I could never write about. During that time, I flew with Paul and Matt to El Salvador and did a documentary on their Enlace network in Latin America. Other times Matt came to Orlando to visit our facility. I told him we let startup churches use our large meeting room on Sunday. That inspired him to do the same at his facilities in the Hollywood area. One of my most memorable experiences was on New Year's Eve in 1997, when I had dinner with the Crouches at Universal Studios in Los Angeles. I was there on business and asked Matt and Laurie if they wanted to have dinner. They were having dinner with Paul and Jan and invited me along. It was a pleasant and rather normal family gathering as I recall. Later that night, I went to a "watchnight service" with Matt and Laurie and met Dyan Cannon, the movie actress who had accepted Christ. In that era, Matt and I became close friends. Now, since he's taken over the helm of TBN, I mainly see him only at the National Religious Broadcasters convention. That's also where I see his brother, Paul Jr., whom I admire and also consider a friend. There's more I could say. I had frustrations doing a program for three years with TBN. As an entrepreneur, I was used to calling the shots. Anyone who works with TBN knows they have "rules." While our show was always in their top 10 shows, we always lost money. We don't take donations like most Christian broadcasters, so we didn't have a good way to monetize our expenses. I finally concluded television was not for us, and we went our separate ways. But I've kept in touch and respect what the Crouches have accomplished. In 2007, TBN bought the Holy Land Experience in my hometown of Orlando. A couple years after the Holy Land Experience purchase, Jan sent word she wanted to give complementary tickets to my entire staff. So one weekend we had a staff outing at the Holy Land Experience. Of course, I've been there many times. It's spectacular. And you can see Jan's touch everywhere you look. (After she turned over the reins of TBN to Matt, Jan focused more on the Holy Land Experience.) In a town that caters to tourists, TBN is representing the Gospel in a world-class way. If you haven't visited it, you must. In early May, I talked about this with TBN UK's Leon Schoeman, who was interviewing me in London. I told him I hadn't seen Jan in a while and wanted to reach out to her. Little did I know she would be dead from a massive stroke just a few weeks later. I regret I didn't get to tell Jan how much I respect her legacy and admire her genius (even if I didn't understand everything she did). Jan Crouch left a mark on Christian television that will long be remembered. Hundreds of thousands of viewers will miss her as well as family and friends like me who knew her.

‘Like Cologne’: At Least 18 ‘Very Young Women’ Sexually Assaulted At Music Festival

by Oliver JJ Lane1 Jun 2016

As many as 26 young women may have been sexually abused at a festival in Germany, with the attackers employing pack tactics to surround and isolate girls before launching their assaults. The method of attack, which separates women from their friends and leaves them vulnerable to sex attacks and theft, has led German newspaper Die Welt to liken the attacks to the mass sexual assaults outside Cologne central station on New Year’s Eve. As of Tuesday morning, there were 18 official complaints made to police about attacks at the annual Schlossgrabenfest music festival in Darmstadt, Germany. That number had risen to 26 victims by Tuesday afternoon, with police still speaking to witnesses and complainants, who have been described as “very young”. Some were so young, their parents reported the crimes to police, rather than the victims themselves. Police have not ruled out the possibility that more may come forward, according to reports. According to a police press statement, three suspects were arrested at the festival after the girls they allegedly attacked went directly to police to complain. The men, who were arrested and released pending further investigations, are Pakistani “asylum seekers” aged between 28 and 31 years old. A police spokesman said: “The perpetrators proceeded in small groups to surround and touch women immorally. The women said they had the impression the men were of the South Asian region. “On Saturday on a completely packed dance floor in the area of HR Disco, [there was] sexual harassment of several women.” The men were said to move in groups of ten. Hans-Jürgen Irmer, member of parliament for pro-mass migration German leader Angela Merkel’s own Christian Democrat party was horrified at the news of the attacks, reports Junge Freiheit. He told the weekly conservative newspaper that the behaviour of immigrants in this case was “totally unacceptable”, and that if found guilty those men responsible had “forefeited his right to hospitability” from European peoples. If convicted, he said the men should find themselves on the “first plane back to Pakistan”. The Cologne sex attacks to which these latest alleged migrant crimes have been likened were an important factor in bringing to prominence in Germany the scale of criminality in the wake of the migrant crisis. Breitbart London reported on the Cologne attacks in January as German police came to acknowledge the enormous scale of offending which, far from their original claims of having been a quiet and well policed night, actually saw a severely overstretched force unable to prevent over 1,000 alleged incidents of theft, assault, and sexual abuse.

A gorilla, a boy, and God's created order

Wednesday, June 1, 2016 Bryan Fischer - Guest Columnist

The dominion that God has given to man over animals certainly means that it is altogether right and proper to dispatch a member of the animal kingdom the moment it poses a threat to human life. The nation has been mesmerized and polarized by the story of the young boy who fell into the gorilla enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo, an incident which resulted in the shooting death of the gorilla. How should clear thinking Americans process this event – and should they come down on the side of the gorilla or the zoo? The United States was formed as a Christian nation, built on the truth claims of the Judeo-Christian tradition and the laws of nature and nature's God. The only way to see this circumstance clearly is to view it through the lens of Scripture. The Bible is quite clear that both man and animals have been created by God. Neither men nor animals are evolved beings. The Founders understood this clearly, and grounded our nation's entire political experiment on the truth that man is a created being who has been endowed by his Creator – "Creator" with a capital C – with certain unalienable rights. This has enormous significance for how we view this event, because if evolutionists are right (they aren't) then all life is on a continuum in which one life form gradually shades into the next and higher life form. For the Darwinian, the difference between a higher-order primate – say, a gorilla – and a child is merely a matter of degree, a matter of small percentages. We've all heard the stories about how we share 99% of DNA patterns with more complex members of the animal kingdom. But if there is a Creator, the creator of both man and animal, then what he says about what he has made determines how we look at things. What we find in Scripture is the clear declaration that man and man only is made in the image of God. Animals are not. While animals have a soul, only man has a spirit. Only man is capable of entering into a relationship with God; only man is capable of rational thought, communication, and moral choice; and only man lives forever. As Genesis 1 puts it (emphasis mine): "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness ... So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him" (Genesis 1:26,27). In other words, the difference between man and animal is not one of degree but of kind. They belong to entirely different orders of being altogether. The life of a human being is of infinite worth, while the life of an animal is not. There is an unbridgeable chasm in worth, value, and significance between even the smallest human being and the most majestic animal. In God's created economy, man is given dominion over every living thing. "Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth" (Genesis 1:26). The dominion that God has given to man over animals means that zoos are morally permissible, despite the bleatings of animal rights activists, for they give people an opportunity to observe the beauty, majesty, and complexity of God's creatures. And the dominion that God has given to man over animals certainly means that it is altogether right and proper to dispatch a member of the animal kingdom the moment it poses a threat to human life. Some claim they know for certain how gorillas think and insist that the animal had nothing but tenderness in mind for the child. But there are any number of instances where zoo gorillas have attacked human beings, including one incident in which a gorilla gnawed on the face and chest of a child before being taken down by a SWAT team. It would have been inhumane to gamble a child's life on the supposed ability of a human to read a gorilla's mind. Tranquilizing the gorilla was likewise out of the question. It would have taken several minutes for the tranquilizer to take effect, and the jolt of the dart may have agitated the gorilla and dramatically increased the danger to the child. While secular fundamentalists continue to elevate animal life to the point where it takes precedence over human life – witness the vigils for Harambe and the death threats directed against the parents of the child – God never makes that mistake. Thus, from a biblical perspective, the choice between gorilla and child may have been painful; but it was not, and should not have been, tough. No one ever takes delight in the death of a majestic animal, but there is simply no comparison between the death of an animal and the death of a child. The outpouring of anger and outrage directed at zoo officials and at this boy's parents is beneath the dignity of a Christian nation. The predominant national emotional reaction should be relief and gratitude that a young boy's life was spared, and happiness for his parents. The fact that the national mood is something much different is sobering and telling.

Gunmen storm Mogadishu hotel; 13 killed

Al-Shabaab suspected UPDATED 8:07 PM EDT Jun 01, 2016

MOGADISHU, Somalia (CNN) —Suspected Al-Shabaab gunmen set off an explosion and stormed a popular hotel in Somalia's capital Wednesday, killing at least 13 people and three attackers, a security official said. A lengthy siege at Mogadishu's Ambassador Hotel ended early Thursday, said Somali security official Ahmed Barre. One militant died in an initial car bomb attack, according to the National Intelligence and Security Agency. Barre said the other two were killed by Somali special forces. At least 40 other people were injured in the attack, according to Capt. Da'ud Hajji, a senior Somali police officer. Two Somali lawmakers are among the dead, the Somali National News Agency reported. The siege began when attackers detonated a car packed with explosives at the gates of the building, Hajji said. The explosion shook nearby offices and injured bystanders in front of the hotel, witnesses said. Victims flooded a nearby hospital. "Almost every 10 minutes they brought new people and bodies in," said Bashir Ali Mohamed, who was at the hospital visiting family members injured in the blast. "I have never seen such a horrible thing. Blood is everywhere." Lawmakers killed More than two hours after the attack began, Mohamed said he could still hear gunshots and ambulances. He felt the blast from his office a kilometer away, posting a photo on Twitter showing smoke rising in the distance. Details are still emerging about the victims of the attack. Two members of Parliament, Mohamed Mohamud Gurre and Abdullahi Jama, were among them, the Somali news agency said. The two lawmakers were close friends, a top Somali official said. "Rarely saw them apart," Planning and International Cooperation Minister Abdi Aynte posted on Twitter. "Their bond was inseparable & they martyred together. RIP." The Ambassador Hotel is a popular spot for Somali politicians and Westerners. Authorities rescued 10 people and cleared out three of the hotel's four floors, according to the security agency. At least three of the people rescued were members of Somalia's Parliament, said Aden Osman, a hotel employee who also escaped the attack. Al-Shabaab has used tactic before Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility soon after the attack. Citing an unnamed commander, a statement on a website linked to Al-Shabaab said one of the group's jihadist fighters detonated a car with explosives at the gate, allowing armed militants to enter the building. It's a tactic Al-Shabaab has used before, such as an attack at another hotel in the Somali capital last year that left 15 people dead. The militants aim to turn Somalia into a fundamentalist Islamic state. The group has been blamed for attacks in Somalia that have killed international aid workers, journalists, civilian leaders and African Union peacekeepers.

Teenager burned alive for refusing marriage proposal in Pakistan

Principal of school where she worked attacked her for spurning his son’s hand

Islamabad: A young Pakistani woman died on Wednesday after she was tortured and set alight in the country’s conservative northeast for refusing a marriage proposal from the son of a former colleague, relatives and police said. Maria Sadaqat, 19, was attacked by a group of people on Monday in the village of Upper Dewal, close to the summer hill resort of Murree, outside the capital, Islamabad. “She was badly tortured and then burned alive. We brought her to hospital in Islamabad but she succumbed to her wounds today,” Abdul Basit, Sadaqat’s uncle, told AFP outside a burns centre at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences in the capital. Grieving relatives outside the centre wept and protested at the teenager’s death as police moved her body to another hospital for a post-mortem. Basit said his niece had been attacked by the principal of the private school where she had formerly worked as a teacher, and by his accomplices after she refused a marriage proposal from his son. “He was divorced and twice her age, so she refused the proposal and left her job when they pursued her time and again ... eventually, they attacked her,” Basit said. Police said Sadaqat gave a statement before her death naming the principal and four others as her attackers. “We have arrested at least one of the accused and a hunt is on for the rest,” Mazhar Iqbal, the officer directing the murder investigation, said. A doctor at the hospital said Sadaqat had succumbed to serious burns. “The poor woman was becoming better but then could not survive because most parts of her body had serious burn injuries,” said Ayesha Ihsani. It was the second time in just over a month that a Pakistani woman had been murdered over a marriage issue. A woman believed to be aged between 16-18 was drugged, strangled and her body burnt on the orders of a village jirga (council) in northwest Pakistan on April 29, allegedly for helping a friend to elope with her lover. Hundreds of women are murdered by their relatives in Pakistan each year on the pretext of defending what is seen as family honour.

Report: Accused Somali war criminal works at Dulles Airport

By WJLA Thursday, June 2nd 2016

WASHINGTON (WJLA) - A man accused of war crimes in Somalia who now works as a security guard at Dulles International Airport has been placed on administrative leave, CNN reports. According to a CNN investigation, Yusuf Abdi Ali has been living in the D.C. area for about 20 years and currently resides in Alexandria, Virginia. The report says he is accused of "committing atrocities while he was a military commander during Somalia's brutal civil war." "He oversaw some of the most incredible violence that you can imagine," Kathy Roberts, an attorney for the Center for Justice and Accountability, which is leading a civil suit against Ali, told CNN. "He tortured people personally; he oversaw torture." More than 1,000 accused war criminals live and work in the United States, according to CNN.

'The Next 5 Months Are Going To Shock The World' - CEO Hints At Massive Shortages As 'Spirit Of Violence And Unrest' Rises In America - We Are Watching 'End Times' Prophecy Unfolding

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die While most Americans living within our country right now under capitalism can walk into almost any grocery store across the country and lay down a few bucks to pick up a dozen eggs, this new story from the Los Angeles Times tells us that to do the same thing in Venezuela, you'll need to fork over up to $150 or more for the same dozen eggs. Those living in Venezuela might want to read this recent story from BioPrepper called "Ingenious Foods People Made During Famines" as their society breaks down and goes through total collapse, a loud and clear warning to America. The 'fruits of socialism' are on full display in Venezuela as also seen in the 1st video below, a stunning video from a Venezuelan supermarket that shows rows and rows of empty shelves and should be seen as a dire warning of what could very easily be happening here...and not too far ahead we're beginning to learn from so-called 'experts'. In the 2nd video below, A Watchman of the Sword shows us why we may be watching long-warned prophecy now unfolding in Venezuela and the world with famine now striking and nation rising against nation. As we see in the chart below from the LATimes story, there are huge differences between what food products cost in Venezuela as recently as last December and now, and the black market/street vendor prices are even more extreme. We've reported that hungry Venezuelans are killing birds and animals such as cats and dogs in the streets to eat; this chart clearly shows us why that is an option that many are being required to take as famine awaits. Much more below including a warning from one CEO of 'shortages ahead' as well as more signs America is 'falling apart at the seams'. The story over at Zero Hedge tells us that former FED Chairman Alan Greenspan, one of those 'experts', is having a 'breakdown of truthiness' once again as he warns us we're running straight towards disaster...ZH also adds this disclaimer: "If only he hadn't gotten us into this mess in the first place." For nearly 2 years, All News Pipeline has been sounding the alarm about what we have seen clearly coming down the road at us. A recent story from Michael Snyder over at the Economic Collapse Blog tells us that a 'spirit of violence and civil unrest is rising in America' as our country begins to come apart at the seams. It was only a matter of time before our deeply divided nation was going to start coming apart at the seams. Waves of anger, frustration, violence and civil unrest are starting to sweep across the United States, and political rallies for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump have become a focal point for releasing some of that energy. The angry mob that threw rocks, bottles and burning T-shirts at police and Donald Trump supporters on Tuesday night wanted to get the attention of the national media, and they got it in droves. Now that the election is less than five months away, this kind of scene is going to be repeated over and over, and this is something that I warned about back in March. Millions upon millions of our young people have fully embraced the radical left, and they have already made it exceedingly clear that they are not afraid to use violence to advance their cause. Never before in my lifetime have I seen America so divided. Our politicians and the mainstream media have been endlessly pitting various groups against one another for years, and wherever you look hearts are growing very cold. I have said it before, and I will say it again. I believe that this is going to be the most chaotic election season that we have ever experienced, and the chaos and violence that are going to be unleashed over the next five months are going to shock the entire world. Over at SHTFPlan, Jeremiah Johnson tells us that Americans should be mourning the death of United States as soon we will either be 'ripe for internal collapse...or a large war'. We're told that the net is now closing in all around us as the 'soft, creeping tyranny' we've been witnessing the past decade+ may soon be turned into a full-fledged totalitarian state with this warning: "All it's going to take is one spark" to turn America into something Adolf Hitler would have been proud of. Over at SHTFPlan we also learn that one outspoken CEO is hinting at massive shortages as he warns that some manufacturing companies have no choice but to go directly to the mining companies to acquire precious metals for their high end products. The latest SQAlert from a 'banking insider' seen below videos offers us another look at what we've been watching unfolding across this country as we're told that 'things are much worse than anyone realized'. While even some preppers (who shall remain unnamed) have recently made statements such as 'there is only so much prepping that one can do' and have lamented over ANP and others continually emphasizing the coming collapse, we'll warn here of the dangers of 'prepper complacency' and why we feel absolute called upon to continuing sounding the alarm as long as we are still able to: there are still many Americans and people throughout the world who have not 'awoken' to the coming dangers.: But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. FROM BANKING INSIDER:'things are much worse than anyone realized' --'If you have an IRA, 401K look for a 40% - 80% cut (depending on the financial stability institution who holds it Steve, Just more confirmation. Talked to my banking contact. He/she was called back in from vacation, no chance of vacation anytime soon. "things are much worse than anyone realized" "If you have an IRA, 401K look for a 40% - 80% cut (depending on the financial stability institution who holds it)" My thought- They are planning how to cut out the good meat on the dead and rotting corpse of the American economy and who gets what. And the who will not be you and me. "things are in a panic mode", "I would not be surprised if we did not make it to the end of the year" I would not be surprised if we didn't make it to the end of the summer" When he responded to what Greenspan said about us looking like Grease and Cypress not Venezuela, he disagreed it will be like Venezuela. Just more up to the minute confirmation, as you have said this is not years away but months. The final preparations for these plans are being put into place now!

A winged baby, semi-naked dancers and a man with a bird's nest on his head: How Switzerland decided to mark opening of world's longest rail tunnel

The new £8.5bn Gotthard Base Tunnel was launched today with spectacular opening ceremony featuring 600 people

Orchestrated by German director Volker Hesse, performance included several bizarre outfits and re-enactments

Winged baby with an oversized head and dance troupe in their underwear moved to the sound of Alpine horns

The tunnel through the Swiss Alps was first conceived in sketch-form in 1947 but construction began 17 years ago

Journey time between Zurich and Milan will be cut by an hour thanks to trains hurtling along at up to 155mph

By Euan McLelland and Julian Robinson for MailOnline Published: 14:24 EST, 1 June 2016 | Updated: 02:12 EST, 2 June 2016

The Swiss have put on one of the most bizarre opening ceremonies in history to mark the completion of the world's longest tunnel. Famed for their trains, organisers roped in more than 600 dancers, acrobats and dramatic actors and even composed the new route's very own theme tune as they pulled out all the stops for Wednesday's inauguration at the tunnel's northern portal in Erstfeld. Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, President Francois Hollande of France and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi all came to southern Switzerland for an upbeat, glitzy celebration featuring musical bands and dancers. Under purple neon lights, performers dressed in orange miners' suits and protective helmets danced atop a moving rail car to the rhythm of pick-axes and construction machinery. Trapeze artists hung from chains or ropes, a band blared out a thumping military march and helicopters buzzed overhead as the celebration strived to both thrill and offer a show of European solidarity. It also featured a baby with feathered white wings and oversized head and a man dancing with a bird's nest on his head. Music was provided by Alpine horn players, an army band and live choirs A dance troupe also performed in just their underwear before fireworks were sent blasting into the sky outside the venue. The out-there event was in honour of the world's longest rail tunnel, running for 35 miles under the Swiss Alps, and was put together by German director Volker Hesse. According to commentators, the performance explored the myths of the massif, the modernity of the book and the North-South reconciliation were its central themes. The tunnel has come in under its £8.5billion and its creation will mean a million fewer trucks on the roads. High-speed trains will whisk passengers and cargo in 17 minutes through a mountain range that divides northern and southern Europe between Erstfeld in the Swiss canton of Uri, to Bodio in the Ticino canton. As the first train used the tunnel today, experts described the completion of the 17-year construction project as a 'masterpiece of timing, cost and policy'. Fittingly, the first ones to travel the tunnel at the official opening will be 500 lucky winners plus guests from the 130,000 who entered a ticket lottery for the inaugural trip. Swiss forces took no chances with security for this afternoon's funky inauguration. Almost 2,000 additional Swiss troops were called, helicopters buzzed overhead and air space restrictions were put over the tunnel area. When it officially opens, the Gotthard will surpass Japan's 33.4-mile Seikan tunnel as the world's longest train tunnel. The 31.4-mile Channel Tunnel that links England and France will be bumped into third place. The tunnel along Europe's main rail line that connects the ports of Rotterdam in the north to Genoa in the south snakes through the mountains as much as 1.5 miles below daylight and through rock as hot as 46 degrees Celsius (114.8°F). Engineers had to dig and blast through 73 kinds of rock as hard as granite and as soft as sugar in creating it - a process that lead to the deaths of nine construction workers. According to the Swiss rail service, it took 43,800 hours of non-stop work by 125 labourers rotating in three shifts to lay the tunnel's slab track.

ISIS jihadis ARE driven by Islam and the world needs to accept that no matter how 'uncomfortable' the facts, says the Muslim man in charge of BBC Religion

Aaqil Ahmed defended BBC decision to refer to 'so-called Islamic State'

Told discussion it is untrue that 'ISIS has nothing to do with Islam'

Says although 'uncomfortable' members of the group 'are Muslims'

Critics including Prime Minister have called on BBC to stop using 'Islamic State' when referring to the terror group

By Lucy Crossley for MailOnline Published: 03:36 EST, 2 June 2016 | Updated: 05:59 EST, 2 June 2016

The BBC's head of religion has said although it is 'uncomfortable' to accept, the ideology behind ISIS is based on Islamic doctrine. Aaqil Ahmed, the first Muslim to hold the post, said it was untrue to suggest that ISIS had nothing to do with Islam, despite the fact that the majority of Muslims do not agree with the extremist group. He was speaking at an event at Huddersfield University, when he was asked to explain the BBC's controversial policy on referring to the group as 'so-called Islamic State'. Prime Minister David Cameron has been among those who have called for the corporation not to use the phrase when referring to the terror group operating in Iraq and Syria, saying Muslims would 'recoil' at the phrase being used to justify the 'perversion of a great religion'. Mr Ahmed was asked at the event organised by Lapido, the centre for religious literacy in journalism, to defend the term by barrister Neil Addison on the grounds that he wouldn't have said 'so-called Huddersfield University'. According to a report by Lapido, he responded by saying: 'I hear so many people say ISIS has nothing to do with Islam – of course it has. 'They are not preaching Judaism. It might be wrong but what they are saying is an ideology based on some form of Islamic doctrine. They are Muslims. 'That is a fact and we have to get our head around some very uncomfortable things. That is where the difficulty comes in for many journalists because the vast majority of Muslims won't agree with them [ISIS].' Clarifying his comments, he told The Times that he had not been referring explicitly to the name of the group, but that 'it [was] a reflection of the complexity of how you describe them and the religious belief structure.' The extremists are variously known as Islamic State, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and Daesh, based the Arabic acronym for the group, which the terrorists consider to be offensive because it sounds similar to the word 'Dahes' meaning 'one who sows discord'. Critics have warned that referring to 'Islamic State' legitimises the group's attempt to carve out parts of Iraq and Syria. The BBC has used its preferred term to describe ISIS since 2014, when the group shortened its name from Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant to Islamic State. However, the broadcaster qualifies the phrase by adding 'so-called' or 'self-styled', a reference to the extremists' claims of statehood rather than religious affiliation. Last summer, Mr Cameron asked the BBC to drop the term, and criticised BBC presenter John Humphrys for referring to the group as Islamic State. During an interview on BBC Radio 4's Today programme Mr Cameron referred to the group as 'ISIL'. 'I wish the BBC would stop calling it Islamic State because it's not an Islamic State; what it is is an appalling, barbarous regime,' Mr Cameron said. 'It is a perversion of the religion of Islam and many Muslims listening to this programme will recoil every time they hear the words "Islamic State". 'So-called' or Isil is better,' he added. His request was backed by 120 MPs, including Boris Johnson, Keith Vaz and Alex Salmond, who wrote to Director General Lord Hall calling for the broadcaster to refer to the group as Daesh instead. However, Lord Hall rejected the demand, saying to use Daesh would 'bias their coverage', risked giving the 'impression of support' for the group's opponents and 'would not preserve the BBC's impartiality'. Former Channel 4 commissioning editor for religion and head of multicultural programming, Mr Ahmed was appointed as the BBC's head of religion and ethics in 2009, in what was seen as a radical departure from broadcasting tradition. He began his broadcasting career at the BBC, primarily working for BBC Birmingham, and had also worked as a director for Here And Now, as well as a producer and director on a number of documentaries and news broadcasts. Prior to his 2009 appointment, the then Archbishop of Canterbury was reported to have raised concerns over the prospect of a Muslim head of religious broadcasting, amid fears the BBC was reducing its religious output. Previously, the post had been considered a job for a senior and respected cleric or lay churchgoer. Last month, a report compiled by Mr Ahmed suggested that the BBC was too Christian in its output, and should consider scrapping some of its long-running programmes in favour of shows for Muslim, Hindu and Sikh audiences. The report was created in consultation with non-Christians who expressed their belief that the BBC is disproportionate in its religious content, and that while there are plenty of shows that celebrate Christianity, there are too few for other faiths. The recent white paper on the BBC's future ordered the broadcaster to offer more for ethnic minorities. As it stands, religious programming across the BBC includes the likes of Songs of Praise, Sunday Morning Live and The Life of Muhammad on television. Moral Maze, Beyond Belief and Thought for the Day feature on radio. Muslim critics have suggested that the BBC could televise Friday prayers, cover Eid or show children attending madrasahs to boost their Islamic serving.

May was a bloody month in Chicago — 66 dead and nearly 400 shot

By Alexandra Chachkevitch and Rosemary Regina Sobol 6-1-16

The gray sedan was parked in the ambulance bay of the hospital, its doors open and bullet holes just above and below the driver's side window. Minutes earlier, 15-year-old Fabien Lavinder was in the car when someone stepped from an alley and shot him in the chest, police said. The driver took the boy to the hospital, where he died shortly before 11 p.m. Tuesday. Fabien was the 66th and final homicide last month, the deadliest May in Chicago since 1995, when 75 homicides were recorded, according to police records. He was among nearly 400 people shot last month. The month's toll was fueled by a Memorial Day weekend in which six people were killed and 63 wounded, and a Mother's Day weekend when more than 50 people were shot, eight fatally. That brought the total number of people shot in Chicago so far this year to more than 1,500. At least 250 of them have died. In 1995, there had been 320 homicides at this time, police data show. Chicago police say the violence has been stoked by gang conflicts and a proliferation of guns, mixed with weak gun law enforcement. The department has blamed most of the violence on a core group of about 1,400 people, whom they have used data analytics to pinpoint. Police provided no motive for Fabien's shooting. His family said it had no idea why anyone would shoot him and that it had seen enough of the street violence. “It really does make me sick. I want to leave Chicago,’’ said Fabien's mother, Ericka Wright, 45. "We are ready to go." The boy's grandmother, Faye Lavinder, added, "I don’t know what this city has come to when you have 66 shootings in the weekend. Sixty-six people shot!” She added, "We can fight disease and cure this and cure that…. Someone needs to cure the land ... the city." Fabien had been out with two friends Tuesday night and they were dropping off one of the friends when the shooting occurred in, the family said. Fabien at first didn't know he had been shot, his family said. As he started bleeding, his friends drove him to the hospital, slapping his face and throwing water on him to keep him awake, the family said. Wright said she was at home sleeping when one of Fabien's eight siblings, a daughter, shook her awake. "Mom, mom, Fabien got shot," she told Wright. Wright jumped into her car and raced to the hospital. "I was praying on the way there that it wasn’t that bad. I couldn’t say goodbye to my baby," she said. Police wrapped yellow crime tape around the car after Fabien was taken into the hospital. More than a dozen relatives and friends stood near the emergency entrance. They hugged and cried. A man in a black T-shirt and jeans walked back and forth on the sidewalk across from the hospital. He held his head in his hands as he sobbed. “We should have just stayed in the burbs, man,” he said to no one in particular.

27 Nations Set to Join RIMPAC Exercise in Hawaii, California

Stars and Stripes | Jun 01, 2016 | by Wyatt Olson

Four nations will join this summer's Rim of the Pacific drills in Hawaii, increasing the number of countries participating in the world's largest international maritime exercise to 27. Brazil, Denmark, Germany and Italy will take part for the first time in the biennial RIMPAC, which is slated to begin June 30 and end Aug. 4, the Navy said Tuesday. China, which joined the exercise in 2014, will also participate. This year's U.S. Pacific Fleet-hosted drills -- which will focus on disaster relief, maritime security, sea control and complex warfighting -- will include 45 ships, five submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel. Participating nations include Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Colombia, France, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Peru, South Korea, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Tonga and the United Kingdom. Drills will include amphibious operations, gunnery, counter-piracy, mine clearance, explosive ordnance disposal and diving and salvage operations. Defensive training against missiles, submarines and aircraft will also take place. While most of the exercise is held in Hawaii, amphibious operations will take place in Southern California, featuring a harpoon missile shoot from a Navy littoral combat ship. A submarine rescue is new for this year, the Navy said. Playing a major role in this year's RIMPAC is the Navy's "Great Green Fleet," a yearlong initiative that uses energy conservation measures and alternative fuels to demonstrate how cutting energy costs can contribute to overall military readiness. Almost all the vessels participating will use an approved alternate-fuel blend, the Navy said. Some in Congress have called for China to be disinvited to RIMPAC, citing the country's expansionist actions in the South China Sea, where it has enlarged small atolls through sand dredging. The country has built facilities and runways on some, construction the U.S. characterizes as militarization. Last month, U.S. Rep. Mark Takai, of Hawaii, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, asked Secretary of Defense Ash Carter to reconsider China's invitation in light of its naval actions over the past two years. "I guess my question is why then should we reward China for this aggressive behavior by including them in an event meant for allies and partners?" Takai said to Carter during a March hearing. He described China's behavior as "the polar opposite of U.S. objectives in the region." In late April, China told the U.S. it would deny a Hong Kong port visit by the USS John C. Stennis aircraft carrier strike group planned for May 3-8. The denial likely came in response to the strike group's recent presence near the disputed Spratly Islands close to the Philippines. U.S. Pacific Fleet commander Adm. Scott Swift has said on numerous occasions he believes the path forward with China is to deepen relationships with military-to-military contact. In 2014, China sent four ships to RIMPAC, including the destroyer Haikou and hospital ship Peace Ark. It also sent a spy ship, which remained in international waters off Hawaii.

The New Dark Ages - The New Black Death - The New Doomsday - The New Barbarian Hordes Have Arrived

June 2, 2016 Submitted to All News Pipeline by Dr. Peter Pry - executive director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security. He served in the Congressional EMP Commission, the Congressional Strategic Posture Commission, the House Armed Services Committee, and the CIA. He is author of "Blackout Wars." Story originally published at the Mackenzie Institute. Historians note that one of the signs of the decline and fall of the Roman Empire was the rise of walled cities. Rome was no longer capable of defending its far flung borders from invading barbarians. So cities had to defend themselves by erecting fortifications, becoming fortresses that are popular tourist attractions today, but that then signified the collapse of Roman civilization and the advent of the Dark Ages. The New Barbarians Now Washington under the leadership of President Barak Obama lacks the political will to defeat or deter the new barbarians that threaten Western Civilization: —Islamist terrorism is raiding Europe and America, pouring hundreds of fighters and thousands of new recruits, mixed with refugees from the Middle East, across the West’s undefended borders. The invasion happens at a time when Western elites suffer from a crisis of confidence in the merits of their own civilization, rejecting Judeo-Christian values and seeking to replace these with a spiritually dead culture of secular humanism and materialism. Islam, not merely a religion but a totalitarian ideology, and its fervent adherents cannot reasonably be expected to assimilate, or even co-exist, with Western secular humanism – the antithesis of Islam. Civilizational suicide by Western elites is well described in George Weigel’s book The Cube and the Cathedral (2005). –North Korea repeatedly threatens nuclear missile strikes. On February 7, 2016 Pyongyang orbited a second satellite over the U.S. on the optimum trajectory to evade National Missile Defenses and make a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack that could blackout the U.S. electric grid and kill millions of Americans, if the satellite is nuclear armed. For the first time in history, EMP and cyber attacks against electric grids makes it possible for failed states like North Korea, and even non-state actors like terrorists, to destroy the most advanced and successful societies on Earth. –Iran may also be capable of making a nuclear EMP attack on the U.S.. Iran is allied to North Korea and has orbited satellites on similar trajectories. President Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA–the Iran nuclear deal) is unverifiable, and failed to verify the past and present status of Iran’s nuclear weapons program, as promised to Congress. The UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), upon which the Obama Administration depends for inspections and verification of the JCPOA, knows only what Iran permits the IAEA to know. The IAEA has access only to overt nuclear sites declared as such by Iran–not to military facilities or many underground sites that almost certainly conceal a clandestine nuclear weapons program. Iran is probably following the example of North Korea that continued developing nuclear weapons clandestinely, even while agreeing to the Agreed Framework that President Bill Clinton promised would prevent Pyongyang from developing nuclear warheads and long-range missiles. Now North Korea has both. IAEA inspections have never been an effective barrier to nuclear proliferation. —Russia and China are on the march in Europe and Asia, testing the resolve of the U.S. to defend NATO and its Pacific allies, and waging cyber warfare against the U.S. homeland. Russia and China are developing and deploying new generations of advanced nuclear weapons and missiles, while the U.S. nuclear deterrent is so old and obsolete that many question its technical reliability – and most importantly its credibility. Recently, Russia boasted it is developing a new heavy ICBM armed with 10-12 new warheads in MAneuverable Re-entry Vehicles (MARVs) that can snake through any missile defenses and destroy, with a single missile, an area the size of Texas or France. This is probably disinformation, intended to conceal the real purpose of the new MARVed ICBM, which is to achieve cruise missile-type accuracy for a surprise disarming first-strike against the U.S. nuclear deterrent. Russia and China also have a virtual monopoly in battlefield nuclear weapons, which the U.S. has mostly dismantled unilaterally, except perhaps for a few hundred aged gravity bombs stored in Europe. Worst, Russia and China have Super-EMP weapons, that could disarm the U.S. with a single blow – and the U.S. has no counterpart to these weapons (which Russia apparently has proliferated, by accident or intentionally, to North Korea). Escalation dominance in the nuclear balance would enable Russia and China to unleash aggression by their conventional forces, perhaps unopposed. Nuclear superiority would also enable them, if necessary, to win a nuclear war. New barbarians, like the barbarians of old, have little regard for such pacifist dreams as “beating swords into ploughshares” or “a world without nuclear weapons” and respect only strength. The New Black Death While new barbarians threaten Western Civilization, the Sun also threatens a New Dark Ages by the advent of a geomagnetic super-storm, like the 1859 Carrington Event. The Congressional EMP Commission, NASA, and the National Academy of Sciences estimate that if another Carrington Event happens today, natural EMP from the Sun could collapse electric grids and life-sustaining critical infrastructures worldwide, putting at risk the lives of billions. NASA estimates the likelihood of recurrence of another Carrington Event to be 12 percent per decade, which makes a catastrophic natural EMP likely within this generation or the next. The greatest threat to the U.S. and Western civilization is an EMP that blacks-out the electric grid for months or years, thereby collapsing all the life-sustaining critical infrastructures – including communications, transportation, business and manufacturing, food and water. Nuclear EMP attack is the worst threat, because it would cause the deepest damage to electronics and critical infrastructures. But a protracted nation-wide blackout imperiling the existence of civilization can also be caused by natural EMP from a rare geomagnetic super-storm, by non-nuclear EMP from radio frequency weapons, by cyber attack, and even by terrorists armed with small arms attacking key nodes in the electric grid. Military doctrine and exercises of Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran indicate these new barbarians have developed a new way of warfare, a Revolution in Military Affairs that combines cyber, sabotage, and EMP attack against electric grids to quickly defeat the West. Blackout War (2015), as my book terms it, or “Sixth Generation Warfare” as termed by Russian General Vladimir Slipchenko, would be a war without armies, navies or air forces, a war without conventional battlefields or large nuclear operations as conceived during the Cold War. Western Civilization is more vulnerable to Blackout War, and will be more surprised, than were the Roman legions when they first encountered Attilla’s mounted hordes. The Congressional EMP Commission, recently re-established by Congress, warns that a nationwide blackout lasting one year could kill up to 90 percent of the American people by starvation, industrial and environmental catastrophes (like firestorms from natural gas pipelines and radioactive plumes from nuclear reactors), and societal collapse. Thus, natural or manmade EMP, or Blackout War, could be deadlier to Western Civilization than the Black Death or other plagues that depopulated Medieval Europe. Decline of the New Rome The good news is that the EMP Commission proposed a plan in 2008 to protect the national electric grid and the lives of the American people for about $2 billion (or what the U.S. gives away every year in foreign aid to Pakistan.) The bad news is that in the 8 years since the EMP Commission submitted its plan to protect the nation’s electric grid and other critical infrastructures, the federal bureaucracy has done little or nothing. Washington’s failure to protect the American people from EMP and other potentially catastrophic threats to the electric grid is symptomatic of a general decline in federal competence such that the central government now seems incapable of accomplishing anything. For example: –The Defense Department wasted $500 million training an “army” of 50 Syrian rebels, who mostly defected to ISIS. –Health and Human Services wasted millions of dollars on a website for ObamaCare that does not work. –The federal bureaucracy cannot protect itself from cyber attacks from Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran. Once Washington was capable of mobilizing and organizing million-man armies to defeat Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan; of inventing the atomic bomb, nuclear powered submarines, and nuclear electricity; of building a national highway system and sending Man to the Moon. Now, Washington cannot even tell itself the truth. Official lies become self-delusions are symptomatic of a civilization in decline–and perhaps about to fall. Official U.S. Government estimates of unemployment, economic growth, illegal immigration – of almost anything politically important – have become so counterfactual as to be worthy of the former USSR. Consider, for example, a recent U.S. Government Accountability Office report titled Critical Infrastructure Protection: Federal Agencies Have Taken Actions To Address Electromagnetic Risks, But Opportunities Exist To Further Assess Risks And Strengthen Collaboration (March 2016). Contrary to its optimistic sounding title, GAO manages to evade admitting that the U.S. Government has failed to implement the EMP Commission’s recommendations to protect the national electric grid! The bottom line is that the national electric grid is still catastrophically vulnerable to EMP, and little or nothing is being done to correct grid vulnerability. The GAO, to its credit, admitted as much during a congressional hearing on July 22, 2015, in public testimony under questioning by Senator Ron Johnson, Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Accountability Committee. Building Walls Fortunately, some states have noticed federal incompetency, and growing threats to the grid, and are moving to protect themselves. Maine, Virginia, Florida, and Arizona have passed legislation or taken other measures to protect their grids and peoples from the catastrophic consequences of a protracted blackout. Most recently, under the leadership of Texas Governor Gregg Abbott and State Senator Bob Hall, a “Texas Grid Security Summit” convened in Austin (April 28-29). The summit responded to a petition (dated November 2, 2015) from 23 members of the Texas delegation to the U.S. Congress urging Governor Abbott to protect the Texas grid from EMP and other threats. The congressional letter from Washington appealing to Governor Abbot to protect the Texas electric grid reads in part: “We encourage you to take a leading role on an issue of critical importance to our constituents and to our state: the vulnerability of our electric grid and the potential loss of power for millions of American families and businesses…Physical disruptions to the infrastructure, space weather events, cyber-attacks, and electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) are the most significant and pressing threats to our electric grid. It is imperative that we make the grid resilient to all such hazards.” Ironic, and alarming, that the 23 Members of Congress who signed the above letter know that Washington is so broken that they hope Governor Abbott can protect the Texas electric grid and save their home state. The EMP Commission recommended that the national grid be “islanded” – individual states can protect transformers, generators, and control systems within their borders so their “lights will stay on” even if the rest of the nation goes into blackout. Can the states compensate for the incompetence and lethargy of Washington, and act in time? When the states must “build walls” against EMP attack by the new barbarians, does it portend the advent of a New Dark Ages? Or is it an opportunity to reform federalism, so that governance is again mostly by the states, as was intended by the Founders? Decline of the West Even if nations, states, and cities of the West “build walls” to protect their electric grids and other critical infrastructures from EMP and cyber attacks by the new barbarians, it may be too late to avert a New Dark Ages. Like the barbarians of old who conquered a Roman Empire become militarily weak, the new barbarians have been given a golden opportunity by NATO’s military weakness to crush the Free World through brute force. Consider, for example, the obsolescence of the U.S. nuclear deterrent – the ultimate security guarantee for the United States and its allies. Nuclear arms dominate the military balance not only because they are the most destructive weapons, but because they are also the most powerful politically and psychologically and shape the mental geography of international relations, casting a shadow of influence over war and peace and even the daily lives of nations. Indeed, nuclear dominance makes possible conventional military aggression without resort to nuclear arms, and makes possible victory without war -through nuclear blackmail and intimidation. Accordingly, the rapid modernization and deployment by Russia and China of new generations of advanced nuclear weapons and missiles that have no counterpart in the West, is alarming. The U.S. nuclear deterrent is decades old, decreasingly credible, and there are no near-term prospects of correcting the growing strategic imbalance between East and West in modernity and technological advancement of nuclear weapons: –The U.S. B-21 next-generation strategic bomber, designed to replace the venerable B-2 whose stealthiness is fast disappearing against new Russian and Chinese radar technologies, will not see Initial Operating Capability (IOC) until, at the earliest, 2020. –U.S. ballistic missile submarines, the survivable backbone of the U.S. nuclear deterrent, during the Cold War used to number 41, have been reduced to 14 aged Ohios, and will be further reduced to 12 Ohio Replacement Program submarines scheduled for IOC in 2031. –U.S. Minuteman ICBMs, now decades old and long past their original service life, may be replaced by a new ICBM after 2030, although the Obama administration and Secretary of Defense Ash Carter oppose any new ICBM program. Thus, a gaping window of vulnerability yawns open in the technological nuclear balance that has no prospects of being closed for many years. What might Russia, China, North Korea, or Iran do with this opportunity? In the worst case, merely about 50 ICBMs like Russia’s SS-18 could make a disarming surprise attack, delivering 500 highly accurate warheads against the U.S. nuclear deterrent’s 450 Minuteman silos, 3 strategic bomber bases, 2 ports where half the ballistic missile submarine fleet (7 boats) is normally anchored, and key command and control centers. Would the 7 Ohios at sea survive the scores of Russian attack submarines hunting them? Would any surviving Ohios be able to receive an Emergency Action Message through a Russian Super-EMP attack? If any Ohios survive and can execute a ragged, uncoordinated retaliatory strike against some Russian missile silos (many empty) and bomber bases (all vacated), what would then be the fate of U.S. cities? Today, even North Korea, with its 6 KN-08 ICBMs, could potentially destroy the 3 U.S. strategic bomber bases, 2 Ohio submarine ports, and make an EMP attack that could cripple the U.S. nuclear deterrent and civil society. The waning credibility of the U.S. nuclear deterrent may account for why Russia, China, and North Korea engage in so much nuclear saber rattling. Sometimes barking dogs do bite. The New Barbarian Hordes The balance of conventional military power between East and West is also alarming. If Ukraine is annexed or dominated by Moscow, Russia will again directly confront NATO in central Europe. New NATO members Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Poland are no match for Russia. Nor are traditional NATO members in Western Europe what they were during the Cold War. They are no match for the modernized Russian Army. Collectively, the armed forces of NATO’s 27 members (excluding the United States) seem impressive at about 1.7 million active duty, although this is only about half their Cold War strength of 3.3 million. European NATO (including Turkey) collectively has 6,000 tanks and 2,000 fighter aircraft among 27 member nations. However, NATO’s European members have very little power projection capability – their armed forces are largely incapable of traveling far beyond their national territories. Only the United Kingdom has significant power projection, estimated capable of sending 30,000 troops overseas. France, after the U.K. estimated to have the greatest power projection capabilities in Europe, had great difficulty projecting even a small force numbering 2,000 Foreign Legionnaires to Mali in January 2013. France needed help with aerial refueling and logistical support from the U.S., Canada, and Britain. When European NATO led the bombing campaign against Libya in March 2011, they quickly exhausted their ammunition. They needed resupply from the United States. European NATO was hard pressed to conduct military operations against Libya – a helpless adversary. Russian armed forces comprise 1.4 million active duty troops, 3,300 modern main battle tanks (18,000 more tanks in reserve), and 2,750 military aircraft. Russian power projection is superior to European NATO’s capabilities to reinforce Eastern Europe. In September 2013, Russia’s exercise ZAPAD-13 (“WEST-13”) simulated an invasion of Poland and the Baltic states, projecting in a few days to NATO’s frontline 22,000 troops (more than the collective active duty forces of the Baltics.) NATO responded in November 2013 with STEADFAST-JAZZ deploying 6,000 troops (fewer than one-third Russia’s ZAPAD-13 deployment) to Poland and the Baltics to simulate repelling a “hypothetical” invader. Earlier, in July 2013, Russia’s largest military exercise since the Cold War projected 160,000 troops and 1,000 tanks across the vastness of Siberia. One Russian “exercise,” really a threatened invasion, in a few days deployed 150,000 soldiers to Ukraine’s border, more than the 90,000 active duty personnel in Ukraine’s entire armed forces. Arrayed opposite Russia in NATO’s frontline are the Baltic states (Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia) with about 20,000 active duty in their collective armed forces, no main battle tanks, and one fighter aircraft. If the Cold War returns to Europe, the other NATO frontline states are in little better shape than the Baltics. Among the frontline states Poland is the strongest, with 120,000 active duty and 991 tanks. Collectively, all the East European NATO state (Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Romania) have 214 fighter aircraft. Overshadowing all these numbers, Russia enjoys a virtual monopoly in tactical nuclear weapons, having an estimated 3,000-8,000. Unlike the Cold War, when NATO planned to fight defensively in Germany, today’s plans require rescuing Eastern Europe. NATO would have to project power eastward, through territory where NATO has never exercised large-scale operations. NATO would have to fight a meeting engagement, or offensive operations against an entrenched Russian Army that fought over and exercised on East European terrain during World War II and the Cold War. Never during the Cold War did Moscow enjoy such an advantage against NATO’s frontline states in conventional and nuclear forces as it does today. Space will not permit analysis of the conventional military balance between China and the United States. Suffice it to say that the most likely locations for crisis and war are the South China Sea and the Koreas, where China’s military capabilities are strongest and most prepared against a weakening U.S. military that must project power across the Pacific. The New Doomsday Average citizens of the West know little or nothing of EMP or the nuclear and conventional military balance of power. But majorities in the United States and NATO nations feel deeply insecure, know from TV and newspaper headlines that the West is in deep trouble, know in their bones that the world order once so favourable to Western Civilization, is imperiled. Millions in the U.S. and the West are survivalists or “preppers” and there are even popular TV shows dedicated to them. Elites in the West should heed the wisdom of their people, whose inchoate anxieties about an impending doomsday are probably more to be trusted than the “experts” whose foreign and defense policies have brought the West to the brink of catastrophe. Democracy, after all, is premised on trusting in the collective wisdom of the people. Interestingly, anxieties over a modern doomsday may account for controversy among historians over whether or not Medieval Christendom panicked over an impending Apocalypse in 1000 AD. Medievalist Richard Landes, who makes a compelling case that the 1000 AD Apocalypse was feared, writes, “There may even be a correlation between wishing to minimize present-day apocalyptic concerns and denying any reality to earlier ones.” Western elites reject as “politically incorrect” such scholarship as Samuel Huntington’s The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order (1996), preferring to believe, as an article of secular humanist faith, that all differences are negotiable, and if they are not it is the fault of Western imperialism and racism. Yet apocalyptic conquest and collapse of civilization is a recurrent theme in history, known not only to historians, but to anyone who lived through the 20th Century. The foundational facts and myths of Western Civilization from both its Christian and Classical traditions from ancient Greece and Rome teach that the civilized and the good must be defended. Otherwise, as Roman historian Tacitus writes, “Vae victus (Woe to the vanquished).” The Bible, the cornerstone of Western Civilization, is replete with histories and legends about civilizational doomsday. Millions of the religious are so fearful about the course of current events, they believe Mankind is in the “end times” and faces The Bible’s predicted Apocalypse, that some historians interpret as inspired by the Roman destruction of Jerusalem and diaspora of Jewish civilization in 70 AD. Another basic book of Western Civilization, little read today, is the Homeric epic from the Greek Dark Ages about the conquest of Troy, whose refugees supposedly founded Rome, according to Virgil’s Aeneid. Virgil describes with poetic imagery the advance of the enemy upon doomed Troy, eliciting feelings of dread recognizable to Everyman today fearful of tyranny and terrorism pounding at the gates of the West: Just at the outer doors of the vestibule Sprang Pyrrhus, all in bronze and glittering, As a serpent hidden swollen underground By a cold winter, writhes into the light, On vile grass fed, his old skin cast away, Renewed and glossy, rolling slippery coils, With lifted underbelly rearing sunward And triple tongue a-flicker. Surely recognizable too, twenty centuries after Virgil wrote, is the violent overthrow of Trojan civilization, symbolized by the murder of King Priam, by means all too familiar in our times — decapitation: To the altar step itself he dragged him trembling, Slipping in the pooled blood of his son, And took him by the hair with his left hand. The sword flashed in his right; up to the hilt He thrust it in his body. That was the end Of Priam’s age, the doom that took him off, With Troy in flames before his eyes, his towers Headlong fallen–he that in other days Had ruled in pride so many lands and peoples, The power of Asia. On the distant shore The vast trunk lies headless without a name. The West, if it is to avoid King Priam’s fate, needs a new Charlemagne.

How EmailGate Weakened America’s National Security

It’s safe to say that Moscow, Beijing and Tehran know a lot more about Hillary Clinton than the American public does

By John R. Schindler • 06/01/16 11:53am

Last week’s devastating report by the State Department Inspector General has made it plain to all who wish to see that Hillary Clinton, as secretary of state, violated numerous regulations pertaining to federal records and cybersecurity, then lied effusively about it to the public. That State IG assessment has left Clinton’s defenders without much of a leg to stand on if they want an honest, fact-based defense of her actions in EmailGate. Therefore, Team Clinton has resorted to their customary deceptions and dissimulations, buttressed by legalisms designed to obscure truths rather than reveal them. Here we have Lanny Davis, a top Clinton consigliere for more than two decades, explaining how Hillary is innocent of any wrongdoing, citing five allegedly “indisputable” facts. Then follows the customary litany, cited by her defenders whenever EmailGate comes up. This was legal. Besides, everybody does it. Plus nothing was “labeled” classified at the time it appeared in Ms. Clinton’s private email. To those acquainted with Clintonspeak, the only thing missing is a discussion of the meaning of “is.” Mr. Davis’ most interesting claim is his assertion that “there is no evidence that Clinton’s private server was ever successfully hacked… all the dire and dark warnings from partisan Republicans about the secretary of state risking the nation’s security by using a private server are, in fact, all speculation—based on no facts whatsoever.” This is deception of a special kind. In the first place, why has the Romanian hacker Guccifer pleaded guilty to hacking into Hillary’s server if he did not, in fact, do so? Moreover, the FBI has been in possession of said server for months, and they have uncovered several successful hacking efforts into it when it resided in an upstairs bathroom of the Clinton residence in Chappaqua, New York. “We know it was hacked numerous times, it’s that simple,” explained a senior U.S. counterintelligence official who is privy some of the FBI’s findings. “If I were Vladimir Putin I’d fire the head of the SVR [Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service] if he didn’t get a good look at Hillary’s emails when they were sitting in plain sight online,” he added with a laugh. Here, Mr. Davis is hiding behind the fact that the FBI has not yet released the findings of its investigation into EmailGate to the public. Until they do, there is indeed “no evidence” of foreign intelligence services accessing Ms. Clinton’s emails—since the FBI considers that evidence classified until it is deemed fit to be publicly released. This is how the classification rules that Hillary and her staff so assiduously ignored actually work. In their customary fashion, Team Clinton is pushing back with a touch of cheek. Ms. Clinton now plans a serious effort to sell herself as the better national security candidate than Donald Trump, based on her tenure of secretary of state. While there is no denying Mr. Trump is a national security neophyte who seems unacquainted with some of the basic lingo of that field, he is not under FBI investigation for espionage and political corruption.

Police Now Using “Pre-Crime” Algorithm To Target and Label Innocent Citizens as Criminals

By John Vibes

It was recently reported that the Chicago Police Department has implemented an Orwellian new program that targets innocent citizens based on indicators that they might be a person who has the potential to carry out a crime. Similar to dystopian films like Minority Report, a complex computer algorithm will track and catalog every citizen in the city, and use private data about each person to determine whether or not they could be a potential criminal. Once an innocent civilian has been labeled as a threat, they are then notified that they have been marked as a potential criminal and that they are now under police surveillance. This disturbing program has quietly been in place for over three years, and in that time, government agents have visited the homes of more than 1,300 innocent people who had high numbers on the list, to inform them that they are now regarded as potential criminals. According to the New York Times, Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson says that officials this year are stepping up those visits, with at least 1,000 more people. “We are targeting the correct individuals. We just need our judicial partners and our state legislators to hold these people accountable,” Johnson insisted. However, activists and advocates of civil liberties are not convinced. Karen Sheley, the director of the Police Practices Project of the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois, has pointed out that these innocent people are being flagged based on criteria that haven’t even been publicly established. “We’re concerned about this. There’s a database of citizens built on unknown factors, and there’s no way for people to challenge being on the list. How do you get on the list in the first place? We think it’s dangerous to single out somebody based on secret police information,” Sheley said. The current program is said to only target individuals who seem to show a high risk of being involved in a shooting. However, it is also important to point out that most laws, especially the bad ones, aren’t even focused on primary violations of life or property, but are instead focused on secondary actions that are seen as causal factors for these violations. It certainly should be illegal to harm people or their property, but most modern societies, in an apparent attempt to take preventative measures, have outlawed actions that could be a precursor to actual criminal activity. Some have referred to this concept as “pre-crime.” The idea is that people should be punished if they behave in a way that someone else is uncomfortable with, even if they have not harmed anyone. These types of laws would include: all drug laws, all gun laws, seatbelt laws, intellectual property and other victimless, non-violent crimes, where no person has been harmed, and no property has been stolen or damaged. Drugs are illegal, we are told, because their use could lead to actual crime. Guns are highly restricted because someone could get hurt. Seatbelt laws are imposed because someone could get hurt. And, intellectual property is imposed because someone may lose their investment. The arguments in favor of these laws are all overblown or flat out wrong, but the fear of future crime is always used to justify bad laws that have no basis in justice or restitution. Our entire justice system is made up of this nonsense, which persecutes people who have not hurt anyone or anything because their actions apparently indicate that they will do something harmful in the future. To begin to target individuals before they have even done anything is taking this idea of pre-crime a step further, ushering in a new age of Orwellian surveillance.

General Mills Recalls 10 Million Pounds of Flour over E. Coli Outbreak

by Anna Scanlon Posted on June 1, 2016

General Mills has recalled an estimated 10 million pounds of flour over fears that they contain the E. coli virus. Over 38 people have been stricken with the virus in over 20 states, and General Mills has linked it to their flour. This E. coli outbreak is caused by the strain O121, which causes cramps, bloody diarrhea, vomiting and can potentially lead to a life-threatening situation. The Centers for Disease Control noted that most people who became ill with this particular strain recall baking something homemade prior to becoming ill. Several in this group noted that they have used the General Mills brand of flour. It was also noted that many of those who presented symptoms of E. coli had also eaten raw dough or batter while making their homemade treats, which General Mills specifically advises against. General Mills also notes that older and very young individuals, and those with compromised immune systems are most at risk for developing E. coli. The particular populations should take special precautions not to consume raw dough or batter and to wash their hands thoroughly after touching flour.

If they are diagnosed, they are asked to report to their local health authority. Flours being recalled include:

13.5 ounce Gold Medal Wondra

2 pound Gold Medal All Purpose Flour

5 pound Gold Medal Unbleached Flour

5 pound Signature Kitchens All Purpose Flour Enriched Bleached

5 pound Signature Kitchens Unbleached Flour All Purpose Enriched

2 pound Gold Medal Self Rising Flour

Individuals engaging in cooking projects should be aware that baking or cooking items with flour in them will automatically destroy any bacteria. Consumers should also take care to wash off any utensils or cooking items that come into contact with flour thoroughly after use.

TV: “Truly unsettling” discovery at Fukushima… problem “far greater than previously thought” — Boss reveals 600 tons of fuel melted, can’t find it — Top Official: “Nobody really knows where fuel is”… We may never be able to get it and just leave wherever — “Uncontrollable fission” is continuing under site (VIDEO)

Published: June 2nd, 2016 at 1:18 am ET By ENENews

ABC Australia, May 24, 2016 (emphasis added): [ABC's Mark Willacy] has been invited on a tour of [Fukushima Daiichi]… What Willacy discovers is truly unsettling… retrieving hundreds of tonnes of melted nuclear fuel turns out to be far greater than previously thought.

ABC Australia transcript excerpts, May 24, 2016:

Willacy: Tonight we go on a journey into the heart of this ongoing crisis… and we reveal the frightening enormity of the clean-up… and how dangerous it still is. Gregory Jaczko, former Chairman of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission: This really is unchartered territory. Nobody really knows where the fuel is… There’s no playbook – they’re making this up as they go along. Willacy: The man in charge of decontaminating and decommissioning the Fukushima plant, Naohiro Masuda. Has anything like this ever been attempted before? Masuda: There has never been an accident at a nuclear plant like the one at Fukushima where three reactors had meltdowns. We are currently working on a timetable to decommission the reactors over the next 30 to 40 years. Naoto Kan, Former Prime Minister: I think it will take longer… This is a major accident, which has never happened anywhere in the world… 40 years is an optimistic view. Willacy: We are heading to the buildings housing the melted reactors… Tepco is worried about possible nuclear terrorism, and won’t allow us to film certain security sites. Masuda: This is a job we’ve never done and there is no textbook. Willacy: [At Reactor 3 there was an] explosion right after the nuclear fuel melted… What happened inside [Reactor 2] no-one really knows… [Reactor 1] is where probably the worst meltdown occurred. They don’t know where the nuclear fuel is. Masuda: We haven’t actually seen where the melted fuel fell, so it’s important to find it as soon as possible. Willacy: For the first time, Foreign Correspondent can reveal just how vast the amount of melted nuclear fuel is, the three molten blobs that lie somewhere deep within each of these buildings. Masuda: It’s estimated that 200 tonnes of debris lies within each unit… 600 tonnes of melted debris fuel and a mixture of concrete and other metals are likely to be here. Willacy: The most daunting task, one the nuclear industry has never faced, is getting the melted fuel out. TEPCO admits the technology it needs hasn’t been invented. Jaczko: It may be possible that we’re never able to remove the fuel. You may just wind up having to leave it there and somehow entomb it as it is. I mean that’s certainly a possibility. There is no playbook, they’re making this up as they go along. Kan: If all the reactors had had a meltdown, there was a risk that half or all of Japan could have been destroyed… the accident took us to the brink of destruction. Jaczko: You have to now accept that in all nuclear power plants… there’s a chance you can have this kind of a very catastrophic accident… that’s the reality of nuclear power. ABC Australia, May 24, 2016: Fukushima clean-up chief still hunting for 600 tonnes of melted radioactive fuel… [TEPCO] has revealed that 600 tonnes of reactor fuel melted during the disaster, and that the exact location of the highly radioactive blobs remains a mystery… [C]hief of decommissioning at Fukushima, Naohiro Masuda, said the company hoped to… begin removing it from 2021… “But unfortunately, we don’t know exactly where (the fuel) is” [said Masuda]. [Gregory Jaczko, Chairman of the US NRC] at the time of the meltdowns at Fukushima doubts the fuel can be retrieved… “Nobody really knows where the fuel is… It may be possible that we’re never able to remove the fuel. You may just have to wind up leaving it there and somehow entomb it as it is.”… For the first time, TEPCO has revealed just how much of the mostly uranium fuel melted down… [Masuda said] “about 600 tonnes of melted debris fuel and a mixture of concrete and other metals are likely to be there.” RT, May 24, 2016: 600 tons of melted radioactive Fukushima fuel still not found, clean-up chief reveals… [The fuel] burnt through the respective reactor pressure vessels, concentrating somewhere on the lower levels of the station… fuel from Reactor 1 poured out completely… the exact location of the highly radioactive “runaway” fuel remains mystery for TEPCO. The absolutely uncontrollable fission of the melted nuclear fuel assemblies continue somewhere under the remains of the station… [TEPCO's] plan for Fukushima nuclear power plant implies a 30-40 year period… Yet experts doubt the present state of technology is sufficient to deal with the unprecedented technical task.

Frantic volcanic activity seen across much of the globe

Mario Picazo Meteorologist, PhD

Wednesday, June 1, 2016, 6:06 - Several volcanos around the world were very active last week spewing enormous amounts of ash and gas into the atmosphere and forcing thousands of people to leave their homes. But it´s not all just about volcanic activity, there has also been quite a bit of earthquake activity along some the volcano impacted areas, especially in the Pacific Ring of Fire. During the last 10 days close to 40 volcanos worldwide have been showing signs of activity and great deal of them, 34, are located along the very active Ring Fire. Mount Sinabung is just one of the 130 volcanoes that extend along the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. Considering that in the 20th century the average number of volcanic eruptions was 35 per year, what we are seeing just this week is above last century´s average for an entire year. This increasing volcanic activity around the the Ring of Fire is not new, the region is home to 452 volcanoes, 75% of all earth's, and geologists have been warning that this 25,000 mile stretch of active and dormant volcanoes is becoming more unstable in recent years. Satelite image of Mt Sinabung, the most active volcano in Indonesia and one of the most active in the world. (source : Google maps) Sinabung, the deadliest eruption of the week During the weekend of May 21 and 22, the northern skies of the Indonesian island of Sumatra were covered with a thick black cloud of ash and gases resulting from the eruption of Mount Sinabung, Indonesia's most active volcano. Several cities in the area were evacuated and in the village of Gembar, seven people lost their lives, all of them farmers, after inhaling deadly gases. Sinabung is one of the many active volcanoes in the island, and after showing signs of activity back in early November of 2014, many residents in the area were forced to relocate in other villages of northern Sumatra located at a safer distance from the volcano. Mount Sinabung continued to show signs of activity late last week, and was still on the highest alert level with potential for more eruptions. Costa Rica, Mexico, Italy also affected by volcano eruptions While Sinabung was doing its thing in Indonesia, many other volcanos around the world were showing signs of activity this week. One of the most active has been Turrialba in Costa Rica. The small Central America country has a dozen active volcanoes and it is located close to the capital, San Jose. Early last week, a prolonged and violent eruption dropped a significant amount of ash over the city and nearby towns, forcing many people to wear masks and in some cases evacuate entire neighborhoods. Other relevant volcanos that have shown activity this week are Mexico's Popocatépetl and Mount Etna in Sicily, Italy. In the case of the Mexican volcano, the Monday (May 23) eruption was very fiery, with significant ash and lava flows along the foothills. Due to local weather conditions the large cloud of ash covered many areas of the nearby city of Puebla and forced the local airport to close. This recent eruption has been the first major one since the year 2000.

VIDEO: Muslims are setting Paris on fire, turning the city into a war zone again

Submitted by IWB, on June 2nd, 2016

Muslim savages turn Paris into war zone, again. Station Barbès-Rochechouart. France. Jul 19, 2014. Just another day in your neighborhood with your Muslim sub-animal neighbors. As usual, there is a complete media blackout about the events from the despicably dishonest, corrupted, traitorous, Sharia compliant mainstream media, while the equally corrupted, traitorous, Sharia compliant government officials (Anne Hidalgo, Mayor of Paris, François Hollande, President of France, and their counterparts David Cameron from U.K., Angela Merkel from Germany, etc.) continue flapping their oral sphincter and diarrhea of the mouth about Islamofauxbia and denying the existence of Islamic “no-go zones” or (called “zones urbaines sensibles” in French, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/world …) while in reality, there are now 751 of those, and counting, keeping the true citizens in the dark until the very last minutes their heads are on the chopping blocks while the corrupted traitors themselves prepared for their own sound exits with stuffed coffers of bribed petrodollars from the Islamofascists Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, Yemen, etc., just like the 9-11 terrorists’ taqiyya telling airline passengers that they would be ok and alive as long as they conform to the terrorists’ orders (we all know how that ended), or like ISIS’s taqiyya telling the victims in orange jumpsuits that they would be alive, so that they would appear calm on camera until the minutes their heads are sawed off. The same traitors dhimmis morons (David Cameron) engages in endless, meaningless debates condemning truth sayers like Donald Trump, Geert Wilders and blocking their entries into U.K while their countries are being overrun by Muslim sub-animals flying ISIS flags, with cities after cities falling into Muzzy hands (London-istan now with Muslim terrorist as mayor). There would likely be bloodbath and civil wars, if the non-Muslim citizens refuse to pay jizya (Islamic tax that imposed on non-Muslims for the right to live under Sharia compliant Muslim society) and want to live. Whether that would happen now when the population of Muslim sub-animals in most Western societies are still in single digit, or later when it becomes much greater, the choice is clear. “Je suis Charlie”, “Je suis Paris”, “Je suis Brussels”, “Je suis London”, “Je suis Madrid”, soon to be “Je suis Berlin”, “Je suis Washington D.C.”, etc. while the bought out, corrupted dhimmis announced that climate change was the most pressing and serious national security threat. Vote Trump!

Texas floods: Enough rain fell in May to cover entire state 8 inches deep

By Michael Martinez and Ben Brumfield, CNN Updated 8:47 PM ET, Sun May 31, 2015

(CNN) So much rain has fallen this May on flood-ravaged Texas that it could cover the entire state with 8 inches of water, meteorologists say. Every drop of rain these days is a drop too many in much of Texas, where 22 people have died and President Barack Obama has declared a major disaster. Over the weekend, a University of Houston student saw an object in Brays Bayou and reported it to campus police, who contacted Houston authorities, according to Houston Police Department Sgt. J.T. Parker. Police found a male body, and a preliminary investigation suggests the death is related to flooding, said Parker. Elsewhere near Houston, police evacuated residents from 20 homes in the suburb of Rosenberg on Saturday. Residents in at least 14 homes more were deciding whether to leave as the Brazos River threatened to rise, Lt. William Henry said. Several rivers in Texas were at flood stage at 108 locations, the National Weather Service said Saturday, but on Sunday the rain seemed to have let up in the area, according to the service. CNN affiliate KPRC reported that some 600 cattle were trapped by high waters in the Trinity River. Cowboys came to their aid, steering the larger cattle to a rail yard, and loading calves onto air boats, KPRC said. Torrential rains have already given Texas the wettest month on record, according to Texas A&M climatologists. And extreme river and creek flooding has broken many records and swept away hundreds of homes. In all, 37.3 trillion gallons of water have fallen over the state of Texas in May, the National Weather Service said. While a period of dry weather was expected Sunday in Texas, showers and thunderstorms hit some areas in the Northeast and Southeast on Sunday. Elsewhere, heavy rain soaked Atlanta Sunday afternoon, flooding some metro areas of the city.

France floods claim three more lives as massive mop-up begins

By Benjamin Marcus and Angela Dewan, CNN Updated 8:19 AM ET, Sat June 4, 2016

Paris (CNN) Parisians let out a cautious sigh of relief Saturday as they watched water levels in the Seine River finally begin to drop following days of miserable flooding. But the rest of the country was not so lucky, with three new deaths reported. The Seine, which runs through the city, burst it banks after days of heavy rains, causing chaos in the city. Some public transportation services and riverside businesses were shut down, while the world-famous Louvre museum scrambled to move 150,000 pieces of art to higher ground in a painstaking operation, closing its doors for a second day Saturday. The Seine in Paris crested at 6.1 meters (20 feet) above its usual levels early Saturday, the environment ministry reported, and the floods are slowly receding. etc. and the news story continues..

The Battle Of Man

by Hal Lindsey

In 1972, I released a book called, Satan is Alive and Well on Planet Earth. That was a year after William Peter Blatty’s novel called The Exorcist, and a year before the film version of that book. Satan is Alive and Well sold more than 8 million copies. The Exorcist film, adjusted for inflation, is the 9th highest grossing movie of all time. In those years, interest in Satan was at a peak — partly because of a smalltime hoodlum, turned cult leader, turned mass killer named Charles Manson. With Manson, the world caught a real glimpse of the face of evil. People realized that his ability to turn young people into monsters was something more than crime as usual. Since then, interest in Satan has ebbed and flowed many times. Now, it’s building again. Fictional versions of him regular appear in films, television shows, music, and video games. For a society that can’t get enough of anti-heroes, the devil is the ultimate bad boy. But he’s also the ultimate loser. Think of his position. He’s locked in a battle with the omnipotent Creator of all things. What strategy can he possibly employ in such a battle? How can he who is merely mighty have any hope against the Almighty? God’s power knows no limits. Revelation 19:6 says, “For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth!” Limited power cannot defeat infinite power. But the devil is not stupid. He has a strategy. He has chosen to do what any military commander would — find a point of vulnerability and exploit it. You might think it impossible to find vulnerability in the all-powerful Lord of the universe. But you would be wrong. Love and Vulnerability Every romance novel, every teenager-in-love pop song, every he-done-me-wrong country ballad, every romantic film, every good old-fashioned love story… carries an underlying point. Love makes you vulnerable. Love, in all its forms, opens us up to the possibility of pain. The dearest friend can be a source of anguish. You feel the hurt as you read the words of King David. “Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me.” (Psalms 41:9) The greater and more intense the love, the more painful the betrayal. No one can break a parent’s heart quite like that parent’s son or daughter. At the same time, there’s no other pain quite like what a child feels when betrayed by parents. Romantic love almost guarantees sorrow and grief somewhere down the line. Maybe there will be a breakup, and that will hurt. But even if the couple stays together, and they marry for life, “Till death do us part” hangs over them. Husband and wife rarely die together. In almost all cases — one will go, one will stay, and there will be heartbreak. Although love makes us vulnerable to pain, it’s worth it. The most miserable people of all are those whose past pain makes them fearful of love. They build walls around their hearts. They put up guard towers to keep watch. They’re wrong to do that. But we can all understand it. Satan looked at God, searching for a point of vulnerability, and there it was. Love. God is love. God loves human beings in greater, deeper ways than we can even imagine. But what really made God’s love a point of vulnerability was that He also gave humans the ability to love. By definition, that includes the power of choice. Automatons cannot love because real love requires a choice. Humans can love… or not. That’s why Satan chose mankind as the battlefield in his war with God. Knowing that God is completely pure and utterly holy, he thought he had won the Battle of Man when he persuaded Adam and Eve to sin. Their action unleashed the virus of sin into the world, infecting all of humanity from that time until now. Ephesians 5:5 says, “No immoral or impure person… has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.” With Satan’s victory in the Garden of Eden, every human being would be impure. How vulnerable did God’s love make Him? Picture Jesus hanging on a cross, receiving in Himself God’s justice for our sin. Consider the pain — physical and spiritual. It’s hard to imagine a more vulnerable figure. What held Him there? Soldiers? Nails? Those things couldn’t hold Him to the cross in a billion years! Love held Him there. Love for you, and love for me. Love made Him that vulnerable. Maybe your heart is broken. Maybe your love for a child, parent, friend, or spouse, made you vulnerable to a deeper hurt than you know how to express. I have a suggestion for you. Don’t go through it alone. In Philippians 3:10, the Apostle Paul put his deepest heart cry into words. “That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings.” “The fellowship of His sufferings” is not an easy place. But you will find Him there in richer, deeper more beautiful ways than you ever thought possible. C. S. Lewis asked, “Why love, if losing hurts so much?” The Christian can answer by citing no less of an authority than Jesus Himself. We are to love God and to love each other. Love is the greatest commandment, (Matthew 22:36-40), our highest purpose, and the mark of a Christian. (John 13:35) God also chose love. He chose to love us and be vulnerable to the pain of our rejection. And in that love, He never wavered. Satan saw it as a point of attack. But God used the love and resulting pain to defeat Satan, and redeem mankind. That is our example.

PM: We'll never return to a torn, divided Jerusalem

At ceremony marking 49th year since the city's unification Netanyahu states that placing Israeli flag above Western Wall was 2nd most important moment after declaration of independence; President Rivlin: Prophetic vision became reality, Jerusalem returned to its children.

Yael Freidson Published: 06.05.16, 22:06 / Israel News

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Jerusalem will never be redivided in a ceremony marking 49 years since the unification of Jerusalem on Sunday. "49 years ago, Jerusalem was released from its shackles. We will not return to a reality whereby the city is torn, divided, and wounded," Netanyahu said. President Reuven Rivlin also spoke at the ceremony, and called on the government not to empty the city of its symbols, touching upon the issue whereby government ministries are moving out of Jerusalem. The ceremony took place on Mt. Herzl and was attended by IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, Police Comissioner Roni Alsheikh, and various government ministers and mayors. The ceremony began with torches being lit by various representatives of the IDF regional commands to remember those who fell trying to liberate the city from the Jordanians. Netanyahu also shared his memories of Jerusalem and said that the current, magical reality was at one time very different. "It was a reality of huge concrete walls with snipers on top, no mans lands and minefields," Netanyahu said. He continued saying, "The veterans here remember what the soldiers wrote on the military vehicles – 'there will not be a second Auschwitz, and there will not be a second Masada.' I remember the feeling of threatening danger and adrenaline and the spirit of our fighters, which thanks to them, our situation changed from one side to the other. This was proven once again – that the only way to guarantee our existence is our presence and ability to defend ourselves and to protect the security of the state of Israel." Netanyahu, who is flying on to Moscow on Monday, said that "placing the Israeli flag on the Western Wall was the second most important moment after the declaration of the State of Israel. This spiritual ascendance encompassed the entire nation, both in Israel and in the Diaspora. It was at that moment that a national consciousness was launched amongst Jews in the former Soviet Union." "Tomorrow, I'm flying to Moscow to mark 25 years of relations between Russia and Israel. But on the eve of the Six Day War, the armies which surrounded us were all armed and funded by the USSR. Russia is a global power, and our relations are getting stronger. The strengthening of this relationship strengthens our national security and prevents unnecessary friction on our northern border." The prime minister also referred to the peace process and said that nobody would force upon Israel international dictates. "Peace is achieved through direct and free negotiations between the parties. We've seen it with peace with Egypt and Jordan. It was not achieved by international dictates. In the period after the Six Day War, when the military campaign was over, the political campaign began," said Netanyahu. "The same players in the international arena who did not lift a finger to help us when the threat of destruction hovered over us were those who tried to impose a political settlement on us. It did not work then and will not work today. Any international dictate hardens the Palestinians’ positions. Anyone who denies our connection to Jerusalem, transforms the Temple Mount into a center of religious incitement, who does not renounce terrorism - still has a long way to peace. " President Rivlin said at the ceremony: "Our eyes were raised towards you Jerusalem. 49 years ago our prayers were answered. The city opened its closed heart to her lovers who were knocking at her gates. Prophetic vision became reality. Jerusalem returned to its children. Here, on this heroic hill, one of the symbols of the heroism of the State of Israel , a blood-soaked battle took place in which more than 180 fighters, within whom the fire of Jerusalem burned, were killed… We sacrificed ourselves for Jerusalem because we knew that one must insist when it comes to her.” Rivlin also spoke about the planned move of the Public Broadcasting Authority from Jerusalem and expressed his joy that the Prime Minister decided to stop the process. "I hope this is so. This is because it is not possible that 80 years to the day after the first Hebrew broadcast, from the “Voice of Jerusalem” radio station, public broadcasting from Jerusalem will cease, "said the president. "One does not give up on symbols. We must not empty Jerusalem of its symbols. Jerusalem is not just a strip of land, it is a spiritual legacy, the spirit of the Jewish people.”

Gov. Scott declares state of emergency as Tropical Storm Colin approaches Florida

By Stephanie Allen Stephanie Allen Contact ReporterStaff Writer

Gov. Rick Scott has declared a state of emergency for 34 counties, including most of Central Florida, as Tropical Storm Colin heads toward the state. As of 11 a.m., the storm had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph extending up to 230 miles out from the center, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami. It was located about 315 miles southwest of Tampa and moving northeast-northeast at about 14 mph. Forecasters expect Colin to make landfall this evening near the Big Bend and Panhandle area. It should then move across North Florida toward Jacksonville and into southeastern Georgia by Tuesday morning. Colin isn't expected to directly hit Central Florida, but forecasters say the outer bands will bring heavy rain, wind gusts and a moderate risk of tornadoes. Most of Central Florida is under a tropical storm warning. The warning was first issued for both of Florida's coasts, including Flagler, Volusia and Brevard counties. It was expanded this morning to include Lake, Orange and Seminole counties. As of about 11 a.m., Osceola County wasn't included. All of Central Florida is also under a flood advisory until Tuesday morning. Forecasters say the area should see rain most of today, with the heaviest starting later this afternoon. 'Protect property with sandbags' Rain totals could top 4 inches in some parts, said Matt Bragaw, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Melbourne. Heavy rain, localized flooding and wind gusts up to 40 mph will be the primary threats, Bragaw said. There is also a slight risk for tornadoes, especially along the Interstate 4 corridor, according to the Weather Service. "If you live in a low-lying area, flooding will be a potential threat," Bragaw said. "You may want to take steps to protect property with sandbags." Colin was originally expected to make landfall late Monday or early Tuesday, but picked up speed overnight as it strengthened. Forecasters say Central Florida should start feeling the storms effects by 7 p.m. Tornadoes possible Storm force winds of 39 mph up to 57 mph are expected to move into the Orlando-area after sunset and continue through early Tuesday morning, when Colin moves off Georgia's coast. Forecasters are warning residents to be alert and ready tonight, as most of the threats will come while people are sleeping. "Tornadoes will be possible with any passing squall after sunset," Bragaw said. "Be ready to take quick action, especially if you live in a mobile home or a building that is particularly vulnerable to damaging winds." Seminole County emergency officials are monitoring river and lake levels in the Little Wekiva River Basin, which includes the communities of Altamonte Springs, Longwood, Heathrow and neighborhoods along Markham Wood Road. That area is prone to flooding during periods of heavy rain. Sandbags in Central Florida Officials have opened a sandbag fill site at 4170 U.S. Highway 17-92 for residents concerned about flooding. Seminole also has opened its Emergency Operations Center at the Sheriff's Office, at 100 Bush Boulevard, in Sanford, to monitor the storm. Lake County is also handing out sandbags at four fire stations today from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Residents should bring their own shovels. The sites are: 23023 State Road 40, Astor 42700 State Road 19, Altoona 2505 Spring Lake Road, Fruitland Park 6234 County Road 561, Clermont The City of Clermont will be handing out sandbags at 400 12th St. Several fill sites are open this morning in Brevard County, including at 2955 Pluckebaum Road in Cocoa and at 124 Industrial Park Ave. in New Smyrna Beach. Osceola County handed out more than 7,200 sandbags at seven locations on Sunday. Officials do not plan to continue that today. Orange County officials said they don't plan on opening any sandbag sites today, either. Preparation is key Orlando residents, though, can fill bags at 1010 S. Woods Ave. City Officials said the emergency operations center is monitoring the storm. Officials are warning all Central Florida residents to have their emergency plans and kits ready. They're also telling people to keep cellphones charged and handy, and to pay attention to changing road conditions. The Florida Highway Patrol is reminding drivers to keep their headlights on in the rain and to increase the distance between vehicles. Officials at the Orlando International Airport are monitoring the storm, but haven't canceled any flights. SunRail trains are running on time this morning. Staff writers David Harris, Christal Hayes and Martin E. Comas contributed to this report.

Obama's Ramadan statement includes veiled swipe at Trump

President Obama issued a statement Sunday evening extending best wishes to Muslims in the U.S. and around the world at the start of Islam's holy month of Ramadan. "For many, this month is an opportunity to focus on reflection and spiritual growth, forgiveness, patience and resilience, compassion for those less fortunate, and unity across communities," he said in the written statement. "Here in the United States, we are blessed with Muslim communities as diverse as our nation itself. There are those whose heritage can be traced back to the very beginning of our nation, as well as those who have only just arrived," he said, noting that their numbers include "doctors, lawyers, artists, teachers, scientists, community organizers, public servants, and military members." Then, in pointed contrast to Donald Trump's call to temporarily bar Muslims entering the United States, the president stated: "I stand firmly with Muslim American communities in rejection of the voices that seek to divide us or limit our religious freedoms or civil rights." "We will continue to welcome immigrants and refugees into our nation, including those who are Muslim," he added. Trump stood by his proposed ban in an interview Sunday with CBS News' "Face The Nation." "I'm not backing down. We have to do something. We have a problem in this country. We have a radical Islamic terrorism problem in this country, and, by the way, throughout the world, throughout the world. It's a problem. And it's a temporary ban. I'm not talking permanent. It's a temporary ban. We have to find out what is going on," said Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. In the White House statement, Mr. Obama also called attention to the plight of those displaced by the fighting in Syria and elsewhere: "Far too many Muslims may not be able to observe Ramadan from the comfort of their own homes this year or afford to celebrate Eid with their children. We must continue working together to alleviate the suffering of these individuals. This sacred time reminds us of our common obligations to uphold the dignity of every human being." As he has in past years, the president said he will invite a number of Muslim Americans to the White House for a celebration of Eid, the holiday marking the conclusion of Ramadan.

Kindergartners in WA state to be taught 'transgenderism'

Saturday, June 4, 2016 Michael F. Haverluck (OneNewsNow.com

Beginning as young as kindergarten, public school students in the state of Washington will be taught about “transgenderism” effective in the fall 2017 semester. New LGBT-friendly changes to the Evergreen State’s health education learning standards have been applied so that instruction on “gender expression” will be mandatory for teachers to administer in their classrooms to students, according to the Daily Caller. As early as the age of five, children enrolled in public schools will be taught to “Understand [that] there are many ways to express gender” —as part of the mandatory so-called “Self-Identify” sexual health curriculum. The educational materials will instruct students that gender is no longer determined by a person’s biological characteristics at birth. In fact, teachers will inform children through the curriculum that gender expression is now subjective to individual preference — and not limited to one’s actual sex. Such teachings about sexuality only begin in kindergarten, and then progress through students’ public school education to achieve higher levels of “understanding” about gender-confused individuals and others who practice sexually deviant behavior. Once a student is in the third grade, he or she will be required to “Explain that gender roles can vary considerably”now that dozens of gender types are recognized and promoted by the Obama administration, which worked to federaliz public school curricula through the implementation of its controversial Common Core. Further pushing the indoctrination demanded by the proliferating “LGBT rights” across America, public schools within the state will also force third graders to recognize and “Understand [the] importance of treating others with respect regarding [their] gender identity. ”Redefining the sexes Falling in line with President Barack Obama’s homosexual agenda that ultimately ended up with the United States Supreme Court redefining marriage to legalize same-sex “marriage” — so that the union is no longer solely recognized as being between one man and one woman — the state of Washington is redefining gender. According to the Northwest state’s health education glossary, gender is now officially defined as something that is based on a number of confusing contingencies. “Gender – A social construct based on emotional, behavioral, and cultural characteristics attached to a person’s assigned biological sex,” Washington’s newly revised glossary currently reads. In order to blur the lines even further between boys and girls — and between men and women — the public education system in the state seeks to make sure that students take a number of factors under consideration when attempting to pigeonhole another’s “true” or desired gender. The state’s health education learning standards attempts to do this though offering another definition. “Gender expression – The way someone outwardly expresses their gender,” the newly defined LGBT term reads. Even though changes have already been made to the state standards as public education officials are preparing to roll out the new curricula, a press release has not yet been issued by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) to alert concerned parents throughout the state of Washington about what their children will be subjected to within a year’s time. Admittedly, students’ objection to the new teachings — nor parental consent — were not addressed by the OSPI as it moves forward to implement its new sex education curriculum next year. When pressed, the OSPI conceded that it has not yet determined what would be done if students with sincerely held beliefs opposing the teachings object to completing assignments required under the new curriculum on sexuality.

Norway to Return Seized Children to Christian Parents After Int'l Pressure

By Anugrah Kumar , Christian Post Contributor June 5, 2016|10:05 am

The Bodnariu family.

The Christian parents of five children, who were seized by Norwegian child services seven months ago to "prevent" them from being "indoctrinated" with Christianity, will soon be reunited as the authorities have agreed to return the custody of the remaining four kids to the family. "We thank you all for your love, support, prayers, and active participation in the reunification of this family. May God richly bless you and repay you for all you have done to bring this family back together," says a statement from the Romanian Pentecostal parents, Marius and Ruth Bodnariu, who have been living in Norway for more than a decade, according to Romania Insider. Norway's Dagen newspaper reported that the decision to return the kids to their family is part of an agreement reached with the family. The five children were seized by the Norwegian Child Protective Services on Nov. 16 and 17 last year based on a teacher's concerns about how the kids were being raised by "radical" Christians who were "indoctrinating" their children. Parliamentarians, lawyers and Christian groups from many countries, including the United States, Romania and other part of Europe, raised serious concerns over the action of the Norwegian child services. In early April, only the youngest of the five children was returned to the parents. When the other children will be returned is not known. "It is very important for all of us to respect the privacy and uninterrupted intimacy of this family in the following period as the children resettle and reintegrate themselves in their natural family home and environment," the family's statement added. On Thursday, Romanian parliamentarian Ben Oni Ardelean wrote in a Facebook post that the Parliamentary Assembly of Council of Europe has approved a report on the Bodnariu case. "Today, the members of the Committee for Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) have decided to elaborate a Draft Report on: 'Striking a balance between the best interest of the child and need to keep the families together.' … The report will consider to which extent the abusive measures taken by the Childcare Social Services from Norway are compatible with the Council of Europe's standards in this specific field, and the resolution, which will draw the main conclusions from the report, will make concrete legislative recommendations to the Norwegian competent authorities," Ardelean wrote, according to the Insider, which translated the post. The family appealed the agency's decision to remove the children last November, but it was rejected. Officials went to the family's home, allegedly without documentation, and seized two of the sons and arrested Ruth, who took her baby son, Ezekiel, with her to the police station, the British-based Christian Institute reported at the time. Officials also went to Marius' work and arrested him. After being interrogated for several hours, the parents and baby Ezekiel were freed and allowed to go home, but without the other children. The following day, officials went back to the Bodnariu's home and took Ezekiel into custody on the grounds that Ruth was "dangerous." Last month, more than 100 attorneys from the United States and abroad and members of the European Parliament wrote a letter to the Norwegian Prime Minister, saying the government's act of seizing the children violated domestic and international law, and urging their immediate release. "We find the facts of this international incident unacceptable not only on legal grounds but also on humanitarian and moral grounds. We view these transgressions as grievous breaches of domestic and international law… Therefore, it is important that Norway immediately release the children back to their biological parents," the authors of the letter demanded.

Calabasas fire forces thousands from homes

Posted 6:52 pm, June 5, 2016, by CNN Wires, Updated at 06:51pm, June 5, 2016

Hundreds of firefighters are battling a blaze in Los Angeles County that has forced at least 5,000 people to evacuate their homes, authorities said. Since the inferno started Saturday afternoon it has already torched 516 acres, Los Angeles County Deputy Fire Chief John Tripp said. As of Sunday morning, the blaze was 30% contained. The fire is on the slope of a canyon, “which makes it very dangerous for us to do a direct attack,” Tripp said. The wildfire broke out Saturday afternoon in the Calabasas area — a relatively affluent part of Los Angeles County that is home to a handful of celebrities, including Jessica Simpson and Toni Braxton, authorities said. About 3,700 homes — or about 5,000 people — were ordered to evacuate in Calabasas and nearby Topanga, mountainous communities west of Los Angeles and north of Malibu. On Sunday morning, authorities lifted the evacuation order for Calabasas, but Topanga residents should stay away, officials said. “The fire is not on the road, it is halfway up the side of a mountain,” Tripp said. “That’s why we can’t let people back in their homes.” So far, the blaze has destroyed a large building and damaged two homes, he said. How it started The fire started around 4:15 p.m. PT Saturday when a pickup truck struck a power pole on Mulholland Highway in Calabasas, the sheriff’s department said. “Witnesses reported that the truck was traveling at a high rate of speed before colliding into a power pole, causing the pole to fall and a transformer to explode, thus igniting the Calabasas fire,” Deputy Jeffrey A. Gordon said. Temperatures in nearby Topanga reached the mid-90s earlier in the day, according to the National Weather Service. The fire has been dubbed the “Old Fire” due to its proximity to Old Topanga Canyon Road. It came right up to the edges of Calabasas High School and Viewpoint School. Fighting blaze with garden hoses About 400 firefighters, along with water-dropping helicopters, are trying to contain the blaze, Tripp said. He said three firefighters were injured. Two suffered knee injuries, and one had a “cardiac event.” “This is extremely arduous work for them to do,” Tripp said. Steve Gentry, a photojournalist who filmed the firefighters, told CNN the situation was “very serious.” “At one point, the fire was licking right up through to the backyards of a lot of the homes of the residents in that area, to the point where even sheriffs’ deputies were grabbing garden hoses and using them to fight the fire,” he said. “Things here in California, they’re very dry and it doesn’t take a whole lot for a fire to get going and spread really rapidly.” Pictures of the blaze show residents staring at bright, tall flames creeping toward the sky, visible from nearby streets. Roseann Bleiweiss’ son told CNN the fire looked like “something out of a movie.” One social media user said ash could be spotted as far away as Dodger Stadium, about 30 miles away. Celebrities also spoke out about the fire. Ellen DeGeneres tweeted that her brother-in-law was out fighting the blaze. “Sending thanks to Portia’s brother Michael & all the rescue workers on the scene of this dangerous fire,” she said. Calabasas and the nearby Santa Monica Mountains are no stranger to wildfires — the area has experienced many dangerous blazes over the years. A particularly strong fire in 2013 burned nearly 28,000 acres in two days, threatening thousands of homes in Ventura County. But relief may be on the horizon for this fire, CNN meteorologist Derek Van Dam said. More wind will help bring up humidity from the coast, which will help firefighters. CNN’s Holly Yan, Carma Hassan, Salim Essaid and Mayra Cuevas contributed to this report. By Joe Sutton and Joshua Berlinger

Global Gun Control Advocates to Meet in NYC to Set UN Disarmament Agenda

Written by Joe Wolverton, II, J.D. Sunday, 05 June 2016

Anti-gun globalists will meet in New York City this week discuss ways to confiscate small arms and ammunition from civilians and to consolidate monopoly control over those weapons in the hands of the governments of United Nations (UN) member states. The convention is part of a UN-controlled process of disarmament called the Programme of Action (PoA). From June 6-10 delegates from around the world will attend the Sixth Biennial Meeting of States (BMS6) of the PoA. This latest planning meeting will give delegates an opportunity to move the ball closer to the goal of ridding the world's civilian population of the small arms and ammunition that could challenge the ability of UN-approved governments to carry out the will of the world body. Serving as an agenda for the deliberations will be the Chair's Summary published after the last meeting in 2015. For Americans, then, it will be instructive to examine this document and identify all of the proposals that would violate the Constitution, specifically the right to keep and bear arms as protected by the Second Amendment. To this end, I will highlight a few of the provisions of the Chair's Summary that represent the most clear and present danger to liberty. First, the plan as put forth in the Chair's Summary calls for the UN's member states to eliminate the threat of technologically advanced weapons, including so-called polymer firearms and 3D printed guns, as well as the tracking of materials used in the “craft-production of small arms and light weapons.” Not surprisingly, the representative from China called for increased UN-mandated regulations on 3D printers and the weapons they produce. Specifically, the Chair's Summary calls for “strengthening 3D printing regulations in the context of 3D weapon printing,” for “ensuring export licenses [are] in place for 3D printers,” for drawing global attention to “the need to pay attention to the resale of such printers,” and for “strengthening controls over 3D printing technology.” No one is shocked, of course, that the globalists at the UN want to draw up comprehensive plans to take guns — any and every variety of gun — out of the hands of civilians. After discussing similar strategies to lock down the manufacture, purchase, sale, and transfer of polymer weapons and modular weapons, the next item on the agenda warrants an immediate withdrawal of the United States from the world body. Paragraph 33 of the Chair’s Summary of the meeting calls for urgent tracking of civilian-owned firearms, recommending that manufacturers be forced by the UN to install “RFID and biometric technologies in limiting the access to the weapon to authorized users only,” with authorized users defined as state actors (UN member nations). That’s right. As part of the Programme of Action (the foundation upon which the Arms Trade Treaty is built — a treaty nearly half of the U.S. Senate supports), the United States has committed to passing legislation that will require domestic firearms and ammunition manufacturers to equip their products with RFID chips and biometric technologies that will help the government slowly but surely disarm civilians. That’s not all. At the end of that paragraph, the UN suggests governments look into combining RFID chips, biometrics, with GPS tracking technologies to be sure to prevent regular people from getting their hands on guns. So, at this week's meeting, the UN will not only set out the schedule of domestic gun regulations, but it will instruct third-world regimes where to look for the money to help pay for the implementation of these new disarmament policies: increased foreign aid from the United States. Specifically, the unelected, unaccountable UN globocrats call for greater “international cooperation and assistance” (read: American taxpayer dollars) to offset the massive cost of the “transfer of technology and knowledge” necessary to make the proposed gun grab a reality. It should be noted that Paragraph 42 of the summary proposes funding this fascism “through the UN regular budget,” 22 percent of which is paid by the United States, through a process that can be described as nothing less than legalized theft of the wealth of the American worker. Next, the document calls for the cultivating of a “culture of peace,” which is certainly shorthand for flooding the United States with UN-created propaganda linking the civilian ownership of firearms with homicide and other violent crimes. Given the fact that both major party presidential candidates endorse some level of federal restriction on the right to keep and bear arms, it doesn’t take too much foresight to predict a panoply of renewed calls for controlling and regulating civilian access to firearms. Additionally, according to the text of the Chair's Summary that will serve as the to-do list for the world's international cadre of gun confiscators, the POA will serve as an “international instrument to enable states to identify and trace, in a timely and reliable manner,” the small arms and light weapons that are the subject of the scheme. In practice, this means that the governments of member nations (including the United States) will soon create a massive, all-inclusive database of all parties that manufacture, own, sell, trade, or transfer arms and ammunition. If recent history is a reliable indicator of how such data would be used, after the catalog is complete, Congress could pass a law (or the president could issue an executive order) compelling “voluntary” surrender of privately-owned weapons, ammo, parts, and components (including reloading equipment). If, after a statutorily-set window, citizens don’t turn in these items to their local law enforcement, then officers will be sent to remind violators of their responsibility under the law to disarm. How will this worldwide tracking of weapons, ammo, and component parts be carried out? Paragraph 32 of the Chair’s Summary lays out the plan for “real-time tracking” of firearms and ammunition “from manufacturer to storage and from storage up to the individual users.” Once the governments of the member nations begin tracking and confiscating weapons from civilians, the Programme of Action (paragraphs 30 and 31) mandates that member governments take “direct control over transfers of small arms and light weapons.” This control will require the federal government to begin stockpiling these items and making a database of the recently impounded guns, bullets, 3D printers, plastics, polymers, and component parts. This database must include "the marking, record-keeping and tracing of weapons, and in this regard considered barcodes, radio frequency identification (RFID) and biometrics for purposes of electronically identifying stored items, collecting data on them and enabling the data to be entered automatically into record-keeping systems." It is evident from a reading of this latest UN disarmament publication that despite the rhetoric related to ”promotion of a culture of peace,” there are only two reasons the UN is making every effort to disarm the population of the United States: to weaken our sovereignty, and to take from our people their ability to resist those despots (at home and abroad) who would place us under the boot of tyranny and demote us to the ranks of slaves on a “sustainable” global plantation. Finally, the upcoming confiscation confab will demand member states confirm their commitment to achieving the climate and sustainability goals set out in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which was adopted in September 2015. The startling complexity and comprehensiveness of these goals were examined by The New American's Alex Newman in an article published earlier this year. Newman writes: Perhaps the single most striking feature of Agenda 2030 is the practically undisguised roadmap to global socialism and corporatism/fascism, as countless analysts have pointed out. To begin with, consider the agenda’s Goal 10, which calls on the UN, national governments, and every person on Earth to “reduce inequality within and among countries.” To do that, the agreement continues, will “only be possible if wealth is shared and income inequality is addressed.” Americans committed to preserving their natural right to protect their liberty from those who would threaten it through the implementation of international agreements requiring the de facto repeal of the Second Amendment are encouraged to stand together in this urgent fight for freedom. There is no organization better positioned to prepare Americans with the resources necessary to defeat the forces of disarmament in the UN and in our own government than The John Birch Society (JBS). For more than five decades, the JBS has worked to “Get U.S. out of the UN." The strength that results from this unmatched record of results makes the JBS uniquely able to increase the awareness of the American people for the fight to retain the right to keep and bear arms.

Human-pig hybrids for organ transplants could develop into monsters with 'OUR brains'

SCIENTISTS trying to grow our body parts inside pigs to end the shortage of organs needed for transplants could inadvertently make animals with human brains, it has emerged.

By Jon Austin PUBLISHED: 09:16, Mon, Jun 6, 2016 | UPDATED: 18:00, Mon, Jun 6, 2016

It was revealed today that in a futuristic Dr Frankenstein-like experiment, scientisist in the US have injected human stem cells into pig embryos to produce human-pig embryos known as chimeras. But, concern has already surfaced that playing God in this way could open the door to pig's developing with human intelligence and too much like us. There are fears that mixing pig and human genes in this way coud see the animals develop looking like animals but with human brains or boosted intelligence. The research is so controversial that last year, the main US medical research agency, the National Institutes of Health, imposed a moratorium on funding such experiments. Its main concern is that the human cells might migrate to the developing pig's brain and make it, in some way, more human. Pablo Ross, a reproductive biologist who is leading the research, said this is unlikely but is a key reason why the research is proceeding with such caution. He said: "We think there is very low potential for a human brain to grow, but this is something we will be investigating." Mr Ross, whose team is from University of California, Davis, says the hybrids should look and behave like normal pigs except that one organ will be composed of human cells. But, amid concerns that the human-pig chimeric embryos could develop too much like us, the inch-long embryoes are only being allowed to develop inside the sows for 28 days before the pregnancies are terminated and the tissue removed for analysis. In Greek mythology, chimeras were fire-breathing monsters composed of several animals - part lion, goat and snake. Other teams in the United States have created human-pig chimeric embryos but none has allowed the foetuses to be born, because of the fears of the hybrid creation. Walter Low, professor in the department of neurosurgery, University of Minnesota, said pigs were an ideal "biological incubator" for growing human organs, and could potentially be used to create not just a pancreas but hearts, livers, kidneys, lungs and corneas. He said if the iPS cells were taken from a patient needing a transplant then these could be injected in a pig embryo which had the key genes deleted for creating the required organ, such as the liver. He said: "The organ would be an exact genetic copy of your liver but a much younger and healthier version and you would not need to take immunosuppressive drugs which carry side-effects." Alarmingly, his team is also trying to create dopamine-producing human neurons from chimeric embryos to treat patients with Parkinson's disease. These embryos have been allowed to develop for up to 62 days - the normal gestation period is around 114 days. Like the team in California, Prof Low said they were monitoring the effects on the pig brain: He said: "With every organ we will look at what's happening in the brain and if we find that it's too human like, then we won't let those foetuses be born". The BBC's medical correspondent Fergus Walsh was given exclusive access to the research for Panorama - Medicine's Big Breakthrough: Editing Your Genesto be shown tonight at 8.30pm on BBC One. Creating the chimeric embryos takes two stages. First, a technique known as CRISPR gene editing is used to remove DNA from a newly fertilised pig embryo that would enable the resulting foetus to grow a pancreas. This creates a genetic "niche" or void. Then, human induced pluripotent (iPS) stem cells are injected into the embryo. The iPS cells were derived from adult cells and "dialled back" to become stem cells capable of developing into any tissue in the body. The team at UC Davis hopes the human stem cells will take advantage of the genetic niche in the pig embryo and the resulting foetus will grow a human pancreas. Mr Ross said: "Our hope is that this pig embryo will develop normally but the pancreas will be made almost exclusively out of human cells and could be compatible with a patient for transplantation." In the mid-90s there were hopes that genetically modified pigs might provide an endless supply of organs for patients, and that cross-species transplants were not far off. But clinical trials stalled because of fears that humans might be infected with animal viruses. Organisations campaigning for an end to factory farming are also dismayed at the thought of organ farms. Peter Stevenson, from Compassion in World Farming, told Panorama: "I'm nervous about opening up a new source of animal suffering. "Let's first get many more people to donate organs. If there is still a shortage after that, we can consider using pigs, but on the basis that we eat less meat so that there is no overall increase in the number of pigs being used for human purposes."

THE COMING CASHLESS SOCIETY: BIG BROTHER & THE MARK OF THE BEAST

By Paul McGuire June 6, 2016 NewsWithViews.com

Sweden is the first nation in the world to embrace a cashless society, where according to the central bank, Riksbank, cash transactions made up only 2% of the value of all payments last year. Swedish economists believe that by 2020 cash transactions will be only 0.5%. Various apps like Swish and the Danish app, MobilePay, are being used to make purchases from various street vendor sales and even to give church donations. According a Guardian article, “Sweden leads race to become cashless society,” by Jon Henley dated June 4, 2016, “Swedes are blazing the trail in Europe, with banks, buses, street vendors and even churches expecting plastic or virtual payment.” Promoters of a cashless society point out that there are countless benefits, such as control, tracking, and identification of criminals, along with the ability to block deposits, purchases, and withdrawals. In 2014, Cass Sunstein, the “regulatory czar,” former head of the office of Information and Regulatory Affair (OIRA), promoted the idea that a cashless society would reduce street crime. Sunstein believed that there was a relationship between (EBT) Electronic Benefit Transfer system for welfare benefits and a drop in crime. Although there has been no proof that Sunstein’s theory is true, in the spring of 2014, the Department of Justice came under fire for “Operation Choke Point,” which was designed to shut down payday lenders and other merchant activities that were labeled “high-risk.” Sunstein appears to believe that society should be run by something resembling Plato’s Philosopher King System, controlled by “elites” such as himself. In effect, our world already is ruled by a class of wealthy and powerful people who view themselves as the philosopher or god-kings described by the Greek Philosopher Plato, who had studied the legendary super-civilization of Atlantis. I outline the historical progression of this in A Prophecy of the Future of America 2016-2017. Although Sunstein would not call himself a Marxist, his ideological beliefs are totalitarian in nature, such as the belief that people should be prevented from being exposed to different belief systems on the Internet. So it is no wonder that Cass Sunstein wrote an op-ed advocating a cashless society. According to an article written in the Atlantic magazine on April 8, 2016, “How a Cashless Society Could Embolden Big Brother,” by Sarah Jeong, a bare list of bullet points put out by the FDIC include some of the following merchant categories associated with high-risk activity. “Ammunition sales, Dating Services, Get Rich Products, Government Grants, Life-Time Memberships, Pharmaceutical Sales, Pornography, Pyramid-Type Sales, Surveillance Equipment, Travel Clubs, etc. One major bank shut down the personal accounts of hundreds of “adult entertainers,” which caused them to lose access to medical treatment, food and rent money. Sarah Jeong wrote, “A cashless society promises a world of limitation, control, and surveillance, which the poorest American already have in abundance.” According to Jeong, EBT and the cashless society targets the most vulnerable people in our society. Interestingly, one of the most widely read books in human history, the Book Of Revelation, deals specifically with a global cashless society where no individual can buy or sell without receiving what is called “the mark of the beast,” which appears to predict some kind of microchip implant with a computer-brain interface. This “mark of the beast” technology will only be distributed to individuals who have the required religious and political beliefs, making it an all-powerful global control system. Despite the intellectual bias against the Book of Revelation even being looked at, the reality is that it brings up the themes of a cashless society and some kind of microchip over 2,000 years ago. The other thing that is interesting is that in order to receive this chip and participate in the economic system and be able to buy or sell, you must have specific beliefs. The specific condition is that you must choose to worship the charismatic world leader the Bible calls the Antichrist. No matter what your previous religious beliefs were, you must renounce them and declare your worship of the Antichrist as God. This appears to specifically target Christians, in that they must renounce their belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and openly state that they will worship the Antichrist.

Netanyahu heads to Russia as ties with Moscow strengthen

Israeli PM heads to Kremlin for fourth meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin; extended trip to last for 2 and a half days.

By Ari Soffer First Publish: 6/6/2016, 8:04 AM

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu headed to Moscow this morning, for his third visit to the Kremlin in nine months, as Israel-Russia ties continues to burgeon. The meeting is the fourth one between Netanyahu and Russia President Vladimir Putin during the same period, after the pair also met at the sidelines of the recent UN climate change conference in Paris. Israeli President Reuven Rivlin has also met with Putin during that time, even canceling a trip to Australia to visit the Russian leader at the Kremlin. In an illustration of the growing alliance between their two countries, this time Netanyahu is scheduled to stay in Russia for an extended trip of two and a half days, meeting other leading Russian officials as well as the Russian President. The official pretext for this visit is to mark 25 years of official diplomatic relations between Israel and Russia. Until then, Israel's relationship with what was then the Soviet Union had been hostile one, with Moscow backing Israel's Arab enemies and declaring itself opposed to Zionism. Today, however, things are very different. Official explanations aside, the two leaders will be engaging on a range of issues of mutual interest and potential cooperation, most notably the ongoing bloody civil war in Syria. Russia, which supports Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, has been heavily engaged in Syria on the side of the regime. While Israel considers the Assad regime - a close ally of Iran - an enemy, and is still technically at war with it, Jerusalem and Moscow have seen their interests in Syria converge as of late. Last year, Netanyahu and Putin reached a landmark agreement to coordinate all Israeli and Russian forces in and over the skies of Israel's northern neighbor. Israel, concerned over the growing Iranian presence in Syria, has operated extensively to thwart the transfers of sophisticated weaponry and radar equipment to Hezbollah, which is also fighting on behalf of the Syrian regime. The Israeli air force has also assassinated several leading Hezbollah terrorists based in Syria, who were plotting attacks against Israeli targets. While Russia is working to secure its own strategic interests in Syria - most crucially by preserving its naval and other military bases in western Syria - the Kremlin has made it clear it has no interest in facilitating attacks against Israel, and has allowed Israeli aircraft free movement over the skies of Syria. In return, among other things, Israel has committed to alerting Russia of impending airstrikes to ensure no Russian casualties, and has allowed Russian aircraft to cross into Israeli airspace when operationally necessary for its operations in southern Syria. In a symbolic illustration of the growing alliance, last week Putin signed an executive order to hand over an Israeli tank seized by pro-Soviet Arab forces in Syria during the First Lebanon War. But while previous - far more speedy - visits by Netanyahu have focused purely on the Syrian crisis, this extended trip is expected to also deal with a range of other issues, according to sources close to the PM. Among other things, the pair will discuss the battle against global Islamic terrorism, as well as the diplomatic process with the Palestinian Authority. Both topics come at a particularly important time. Russia - which is in Syria ostensibly to fight jihadist terrorists - is also a backer of Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, and Israeli leaders hope they can persuade the Russians to use their leverage with Iran to curb Tehran's increasingly aggressive designs in the region. On the diplomatic front, Netanyahu will look to Russia as a way to offset a hostile White House's recent veiled threats to not use its veto in the Security Council, as well as increased pressure from Europe to impose a two-state solution over the heads of the Israeli government. The growing Israeli-Russian alliance also illustrates Moscow's rising influence in the Middle East, as US President Barack Obama has pulled back America's presence and influence in the region considerably.

Slowly, but surely, a reckoning is coming. And what has been hidden will be revealed.” The title of the post and the chart both grabbed my attention and provide a glimpse into the reality of our present situation. The Gathering Storm was the title of Winston Churchill’s volume one history of World War II. Churchill documents the tumultuous twenty years leading up to World War II in The Gathering Storm. The years following World War I, through the Great Depression and the rise of Hitler were abysmal, but only a prelude to the approaching horror of 65 million deaths over the next six years. What appeared to be dark days in the 1930’s were only storm clouds gathering before a once in a lifetime tempest. In my view we stand at an equally perilous point in history today. The graph represents the standard progress of a three act drama in literature. In the three-act structure, act one has the least tension, since it is only establishing the characters and the settings. The catalyst triggers an increase in tension with the revelation dramatically escalating the pressure as you approach the climax. The intensity remains high in act three as the final confrontation and resolution play out. Every Shakespearean tragedy follows this general pathway to a final denouement. It peculiarly parallels the path of a Fourth Turning. A Fourth Turning’s three acts are the catalyst phase, regeneracy stage, and climax. The plot of this Fourth Turning crisis revolves around the core elements of debt, civic decay and global disorder. The 2008 global financial crisis, manufactured by the Fed and their Wall Street puppeteers, was catalyzed by hundreds of billions in bad debt issued as part of the largest control fraud scheme in world history. The brunt of this banker formulated disaster has been borne by the former working middle class and senior citizens dependent upon interest income to survive in an inflationary world. The initial threat of full-fledged collapse was deferred through extreme monetary and fiscal actions by the establishment vassals, as they created trillions in new debt to fill the vortex produced by the trillions in bad debt. We are only in the early stages of Act 2 of this tragedy we call The Fall of the American Empire. The tension triggered in 2008/2009 by the Federal Reserve/Wall Street created subprime debacle subsided, as the ruling class was able to expand their wealth (rigging the financial markets), while crushing dissent (OWS, Tea Party), expanding their surveillance state (as revealed by Snowden), waging undeclared wars around the globe (Syria, Libya, Iraq, Yemen), adding $10 trillion to the national debt, while distracting the masses through propaganda, electronic bread and circuses, and trivial societal diversions. While the public is busy arguing about gay marriage, wedding cakes, transgender bathrooms, safe spaces, triggers, SJWs, Bruce Jenner becoming Caitlyn Jenner, and apes rights, the ruling class pillages the remaining wealth of the nation and forges ahead with their plans to control our lives. Despite knowing a Fourth Turning generally ebbs and flows over a two decade time frame, it can be frustrating watching the corrupt crony capitalist pigs running this shitshow continue to flagrantly disregard the rule of law, the Constitution, and abusing the citizens of this country. But the temporary lull in intensity is coming to an end. We are now eight years into this Fourth Turning with at least a decade to go before the climax. The regeneracy has been slow in coming, but it appears the mood of the country has been catalyzed by the anti-establishment campaigns of Trump and Sanders. They have begun the process of regeneracy against the ingrained, corrupt, immoral establishment. The people are collectively revolting against the existing social order as they are finally realizing they have been used and abused by the ruling oligarchy as pawns in their game of world domination. The obscene wealth of the .1% has been absconded from the working class through abuse of the tax laws, trade deals, regulations, monetary policy, public school indoctrination, peddling of debt to the masses, and relentless propaganda. The systematic manipulation of the financial, monetary, political and commercial markets by the money masters has left the country like a mighty diseased, hollowed out, rotting oak tree – one storm away from collapsing and splintering into a thousand pieces. A gathering storm approaches. The mood of the country has turned dark. The political parties are splintering. The elites in NYC, DC, and LA are appalled the peasants in flyover country are not following orders and voting for the hand-picked lackey candidates. If Clinton can avoid indictment, she’ll represent the establishment versus the anti-establishment Trump in the upcoming election. The establishment is using the power of the press to try and discredit Trump and Sanders. It’s failing. The mainstream media is now trusted and respected on par with Congress – lower than whale shit. The establishment is now resorting to paying thugs to violently disrupt Trump campaign events. This ploy is backfiring, as the white silent majority gravitates toward Trump every time an illegal immigrant burns an American flag or a young woman is assaulted by Black Thugs Matter paid rioters. With the economy in freefall, rigged financial markets immensely overvalued, debt levels at extremes, global tensions rising, and an increasingly angry American populace desperate for change, it appears the stars are aligning for a Trump presidency. He is a flawed human being, with a huge ego, no filter, and no experience governing. But none of that matters. He has captured the zeitgeist of this moment in history. At this juncture in a Fourth Turning the public is ready to dump leaders who have downplayed the vast problems facing the country (unfunded liabilities, illegal immigration, entitlements, debt, wars, jobs, bankers) in favor of leaders who are willing to amplify and tackle those problems head on. A new civic ethos of addressing and responding to threats is taking hold. The generational configuration is aligned and the mood of the country is ripe for a prophet generation Boomer, like Trump, to be the Grey Champion who will lead the country through the darkest most perilous portion of this Fourth Turning. As this Fourth Turning careens towards its climax, the intensity will escalate. Bold decisions will need to be made requiring a leader who displays tremendous confidence and strong leadership. Political correctness will be cast aside. The previous two Grey Champion leaders – Lincoln and Roosevelt – are despised on many levels by many people, as they both ignored the Constitution on many occasions while attempting to do what they thought best in leading the country through desperate times. Their policies and executive actions during those dark days of the Civil War, Great Depression, and World War II left a long lasting impact on the country and play a major role in our current crisis. As Strauss and Howe predicted almost 20 years ago, the regeneracy is solidly under way. “Soon after the catalyst, a national election will produce a sweeping political realignment, as one faction or coalition capitalizes on a new public demand for decisive action. Republicans, Democrats, or perhaps a new party will decisively win the long partisan tug of war. This new regime will enthrone itself for the duration of the Crisis. Regardless of its ideology, that new leadership will assert public authority and demand private sacrifice. Where leaders had once been inclined to alleviate societal pressures, they will now aggravate them to command the nation’s attention. The regeneracy will be solidly under way.” – Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning It is difficult for the vast majority of people to comprehend the likely chaos, pain, bloodshed and war which will overspread the nation and the world during the final two acts of this tragic play. The discomfort most people are feeling is just their cognitive dissonance telling them everything will be fine as they experience a steady decline in their standard of living. Harkening back to Jesse’s original chart, the Fourth Turning regeneracy is aligning with the Revelation in Act 2. The day of reckoning will arrive when Trump is elected and that which has been hidden is revealed. Anyone who doesn’t grasp the increasing intensity of the rhetoric, opponent interactions, and media responses will be blind-sided by the coming storm. The days of delusion, denial and debt are going to revert to dismay, depression and death. There is no more room to increase leverage. Americans are up to their eyeballs in mortgage, credit card, auto loan, and student loan debt ($17.4 trillion). Corporations are stuffed with record levels of debt ($14 trillion) they used to buy back their stock at all-time high prices. State and local governments are drowning in trillions of debt and unfunded pension liabilities. The Federal government is $19.3 trillion in debt, with unfunded entitlement liabilities exceeding $200 trillion. It is mathematically impossible for this debt to be repaid with a rapidly aging developed world and a debt saturated developing world. With financial markets as overvalued as they have ever been, the next crash will leave all the heavily indebted parties with no assets to repay the debt. The losses will make the 2008 financial crisis look like a stroll in the park. And the Fed shot their load years ago, without having the guts to reload. Their credibility is shot and their $4 trillion balance sheet is insolvent. The Wall Street banks are zombies sustained by 0% interest rates and accounting fraud. I know the last few years have been frustrating for the “doom and gloomers” who actually have critical thinking skills and understand the nature of our dire economic situation. Much like Michael Burry, as described so well by Michael Lewis in The Big Short, your facts may be 100% correct but markets and people can remain irrational for longer than you think possible. By having the courage of your convictions, you must be prepared for scorn, ridicule, and mocking. As the unpayable debt has expanded to ever greater heights and monetary authorities across the globe implement wildly desperate measure like negative interest rates and buying financial assets to prop up stock markets, the public has become more unquestioning of reality and deluded by the seeming stability of financial markets. Record low interest rates and rising stock prices reinforce the normalcy bias of most people. Many smart, normally skeptical, people have thrown in the towel. Because the gathering storm has not struck as predicted, they begin to believe it will never strike. This same mindset existed in 1860, 1929, 1940, 1999, and 2007. It easy to be lulled to sleep by the propaganda media machines, lying politicians, and extreme monetary schemes portrayed as normal by the money men. Things are not getting better. We are not at the end of this crisis. We are in the midst of a Greater Depression, with the most trying times still ahead. Fourth Turnings never de-intensify. They intensify into a chaotic whirlwind, where the future of our civilization hangs in the balance. The climax of this play is a long way off. The election of Trump in November will trigger the transformational change that always happens during a Fourth Turning. An ill wind is beginning to blow. You can’t avoid the coming storm, but you can mentally and physically prepare. Our choices will make a difference.

Obama: Manufacturing Jobs Outsourced To Mexico Aren’t Coming Back

by Charlie Spiering2 Jun 2016670

President Barack Obama is giving up on some of the American manufacturing jobs that went to Mexico, telling an Indiana resident that many of those jobs are not coming back. During a town hall in Elkhart, Indiana, Obama was asked a question about manufacturing by a man who was once employed by Carrier Corporation in Indiana before the plant announced plans to move to Mexico. “What we have to do is to make sure that folks are trained for the jobs that are coming in now because some of those jobs of the past are just not going to come back,” Obama said bluntly during the event broadcast on PBS. Carrier announced in February that it would move 1,400 jobs to Mexico — even after receiving $5.1 million from the Obama administration in clean energy tax credits. Carrier later clarified in a statement that it will not claim the federal tax credit. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has cited Carrier specifically on the campaign trail, saying it’s one more sign of American decline. “I wanna do the number on Carrier, folks. I don’t like what they did,” Trump said in April, vowing to bring the jobs back. But Obama was skeptical that Trump could fulfill his promise. “There’s no answer to it. He just says, ‘Well, I’m going to negotiate a better deal.’ Well, how exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have?” Obama asked. “And usually, the answer is he doesn’t have an answer.” Obama insisted that the “good old days” of manufacturing were over, thanks to technology. “The days when you just being willing to work hard and you can now walk into a plant and suddenly there’s going to be a job for you for 30 years or 40 years, that’s just not going to be there for our kids,” Obama said. He blamed technology and automation for the decreasing level of manufacturing jobs, suggesting that free community college would help students learn the skills necessary to compete for high tech jobs. “[Y]ou cannot look backwards, and that doesn’t make folks feel good sometimes, especially if it’s a town that was reliant on a couple of big manufacturers,” he said. “But they’re going to have to retrain for the jobs of the future, not the jobs of the past.”

Is It Already Too Late? If EMP Holocaust Of Mass Starvation And Societal Collapse Is Avoided, We Can Thank This True American Hero

Roscoe Bartlett - The 'Paul Revere' Of EMP Turns 90

Submitted to All News Pipeline by Dr. Peter Vincent Pry. Dr. Pry is Executive Director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security and Director of the U.S. Nuclear Strategy Forum, both Congressional Advisory Boards, and served on the Congressional EMP Commission, the Congressional Strategic Posture Commission, and the House Armed Services Committee. Few Americans have heard of Roscoe Bartlett--but all Americans may someday owe him their lives. The former congressman from Maryland's 6th District, who on June 3rd celebrated his 90th birthday, is the modern Paul Revere of electromagnetic pulse (EMP). It is a safe bet that most or all readers of Family Security Matters and All News Pipeline now know about the EMP threat. Indeed, more Americans may know about EMP than about Paul Revere, a situation Roscoe would certainly disapprove! Roscoe Bartlett took EMP out of the classified shadows. There its potentially paralyzing effects on military forces and civilian critical infrastructures were deeply understood only by a small number of nuclear strategists and specialists. The American people now know about the existential threat that is EMP because of Roscoe Bartlett. In 1995, then Representative Roscoe Bartlett--one of the few scientists and inventors to hold a seat in Congress--launched a one man crusade to educate policymakers and the public about the grave danger to our civilization from a nuclear EMP attack that might come from terrorists, rogue states, China or Russia. The spark was the still little known nuclear missile crisis of January 25, 1995. During the most perilous 20 minutes of the nuclear missile age, the Russian General Staff mistook a high-altitude Norwegian meteorological rocket for an incoming EMP attack. They activated then Russian President Boris Yeltsin's "red button" for making a nuclear strike. Fortunately, Yeltsin literally refused to "push the button" and bravely waited. The missile reached apogee without an EMP detonation. The crisis passed. In the aftermath of the crisis, Roscoe wondered, if a single nuclear weapon used to make an EMP attack could have such catastrophic consequences, so frightening to the Russians, could terrorists or rogue states make an EMP attack? Do Russia and China have plans for EMP attack against the United States? And are we prepared? Congressman Roscoe Bartlett held the first unclassified hearing before Congress and the public on EMP effects, and on the capabilities of potential adversaries. Over the next five years, Roscoe convened numerous unclassified and classified briefings and hearings on EMP before the House Armed Services Committee and other bodies of the Congress. Roscoe arranged a congressional hearing unique in history at Aberdeen. The capabilities of two non-nuclear EMP weapons were demonstrated to Congress and the people at the U.S. Army Proving Ground at Aberdeen. The weapons were an experiment, designed and built by civilian electricians, using parts available from Radio Shack, to showcase what terrorists could do. At Aberdeen, the successful tests were performed in a special chamber designed to contain EMP, to protect passing airliners. The circle of knowledge and concern about EMP grew rapidly, due to Congressman Bartlett's leadership. But President Bill Clinton's Department of Defense and other administration spokesman dismissed the EMP threat. They argued the Cold War is over, so we don't need to worry about EMP attack from Russia or China any more. Terrorists and rogue states are not sophisticated enough to understand EMP, or so Congress was told. Consequently, because the Cold War was over, the Clinton Administration was dismantling EMP simulators, no longer EMP hardening U.S. military forces, and using commercial off-the-shelf technologies very vulnerable to EMP. In May 1999, Roscoe went to Vienna with a bipartisan Congressional Delegation to meet with leaders of the Russian Duma to explore ending the Balkans War. NATO was bombing Serbia, a Russian ally. On day one of the meeting, the Russian Duma made a thinly veiled threat to end the Balkans War by making a nuclear EMP strike on the United States. Thus, Moscow discredited the Clinton Administration's claim that the U.S. doesn't have to worry about EMP. In 2001, Rep. Bartlett established the Congressional EMP Commission with unanimous bipartisan support. The EMP Commission found that Iran--the world's leading sponsor of international terrorism--openly writes about destroying the United States with a nuclear EMP attack and has practiced such an attack in missile tests and exercises. Russia, China, and North Korea all have the capability and plans to make an EMP attack on the United States. The Commission also warned that Mother Nature can inflict an EMP catastrophe by a solar super-storm, like the 1859 Carrington Event. In 1995, many belittled Roscoe Bartlett for sounding the alarm about EMP. Today the nation is galvanized into action trying to protect itself from an EMP catastrophe:

--President Obama has launched a "National Space Weather Action Plan" to protect the electric grid and other critical infrastructures from natural EMP generated by a solar super-storm.

--Obama's Department of Defense is further hardening the North American Aerospace Defense (NORAD) alternate headquarters inside Cheyenne Mountain, and hardening many DOD assets, against EMP attack from North Korea and others.

--The Critical Infrastructure Protection Act (CIPA), which would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to plan for protecting and recovering the nation from a natural or manmade EMP catastrophe, is on the verge of passage through the Senate.

--DHS is not waiting for passage of CIPA, but is partnering with the Department of Energy and the electric power industry to plan for protecting the grid from nuclear EMP attack.

--The States are not waiting for Washington. So far, Maine, Virginia, Arizona, Florida, and Texas have launched initiatives to protect their peoples from EMP. --Congress has re-established the EMP Commission to help federal and state governments. Two North Korean satellites already orbit over the United States on the optimum trajectories to evade U.S. National Missile Defenses and make a surprise EMP attack. NASA estimates the likelihood of a natural EMP catastrophe from a solar super-storm, encompassing the whole world, to be 12 percent per decade. Anyone can buy portable non-nuclear EMP devices that criminals or terrorists could use, with a little knowledge of the grid, to cause a protracted nationwide blackout. Will efforts to protect the nation from an EMP holocaust of mass starvation and societal collapse be in time? Will our efforts be enough? Only God knows. But God sent us Roscoe Bartlett. While trying to save America, Roscoe has also been a husband to his wife Ellen, father to 10 children, grandfather to 17, great-grandfather to 2, a teacher, a physiologist, and a patented inventor. Happy Birthday Roscoe! And thank you.

The EU Is Finding a Way to Legalize Child Molestation

Sometimes, good things come in small packages, although there is not much good that can come this subject. This article is brief and very much to the point. There is very little offered in contextual background with almost no dots to connect. I view the following as the most important article, and certainly the most disturbing article, I have ever written. Soon, Our Children Will Not Be Safe George Soros contributed $2 million to the North American Man Boy Love Association. They are actively advocating for sex with children. Their byline is “Sex before eight or it is too late”. Please tell me how a seven year old can consent to having sex with an adult? For years, I have been claiming that the criminal elite will eventually remove the final taboo, the final prohibition from society, namely, adults having sex with children. With the advent of the transgender restroom issue, I renewed my claim that the globalists were bootstrapping the laws towards eventually removing the final prohibition. The last time I made this claim was about a week ago. Soon, our children will be at risk to unsavory predators, acquiring STD’s and experiencing a lifetime of horrifying psychological scars. At issue in this article is a document that the European Parliament is issuing to its member states. Below, are excerpts of the article. From the European Parliament

A EUROPEAN FRAMEWORK NATIONAL STATUTE FOR THE PROMOTION OF TOLERANCE SUBMITTED WITH A VIEW TO BEING ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURES OF EUROPEAN STATE What originally appears to be a general restriction on free speech against any and all groups is really a lot more when on reads the fine print. Here are the relevant excerpts: Section 1. Definitions For the purposes of this Statute: (a) “Group” means: a number of people joined by racial or cultural roots, ethnic origin or descent, religious affiliation or linguistic links, gender identity or sexual orientation, or any other characteristics of a similar nature. I do not advocate for the discrimination of any of the non-heterosexual groups except for pedophiles and transhumanists and only because they leave victims behind. This is not a movement being promoted by the majority of people in these lifestyles, this is a movement promoted by the globalists. However, make note of the term, sexual orientation, it will figure prominently in the rest of the article. The Dangers of Bootstrapping When the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual -3rd Edition was created in the 1960’s, being labeled “homosexual” also brought a mental illness diagnosis. When the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) -4th Edition was created in the 1990’s being labeled “transgender” also brought a mental illness diagnosis in which the person was labeled as having Gender Identity Disorder. Today, under DSM-V, LGBT people are a legally protected class and special status protections not afforded to heterosexual couples. Please look back at the definition posted earlier. The protected class in this EU document is “sexual orientation”. This term is very broad and very vague given the political climate of the today. At one point in time in our recent past, the only approved sexual orientation was the Biblical definition. Today, each non-heterosexual orientation has been bootstrapped to the next to make it acceptable (e.g. gay to transgender). With transgenders receiving protected status in the US, Canada and Europe, how long will it be till the transgender lifestyle is bootstrapped to the next one in line. And what is the next one in line? That would be abject pedophilia that will soon become a protected class in which it will become a crime to speak out against, much less prosecute for their heinous action. To the novice to our Patriot movement, this may seem like a fantasy. But to those who have around for awhile, you can see all the elements of the globalists at work (e.g. create the protected class, shower the protected class with laws that only protect them, and then through incrementalism, bootstrap the previous to the next step). Again from the EU Parliament document: (d)Public morals. Explanatory Note: Examples: tolerance does not denote acceptance of such practices as female circumcision, forced marriage, polygamy or any form of exploitation or domination of women. (ED. Note: Why doesn’t this document mention protecting children instead of only protecting women?) What About North America? If you still need convincing, please look at what’s happening in North America, it parallels Europe. Bloomberg.com stated that Beyond national laws that criminalize hate speech, there is a need to ensure such activity by Internet users is “expeditiously reviewed by online intermediaries and social media platforms, upon receipt of a valid notification, in an appropriate time-frame,” the companies and the European Commission said in a joint statement on Tuesday. (Ed. Note: The European Commission is the same group that was referenced above). Ed. Note: This is an enforcement document which derives itself from the same document listed above.  Nearly two weeks ago, I wrote the following “The New York City Commission on Human Rights, employees, landlords are demanding that businesses can face stiff fines if they do not Americans and Canadians are in cahoots with the Euros refer to transgenders by using “approved” terms such as “ze” and “hir”. Failure to do so will result in violation of the New York City Human Rights Law. This is the most poorly written administrative law that I have seen. However, it appears that each business must refer to each transgender in the the exact terms that each transgender demands. This is an unreasonable burden on any business. To remain compliant with this unusual and far-reaching demand, a business will have to literally hire and question all people entering a business…. Here is an excerpt from the administrative law: “Intentional or repeated refusal to use an individual’s preferred name, pronoun or title. For example, repeatedly calling a transgender woman “him” or “Mr.” after she has made clear which pronouns and title she uses.” If you are rubbing your eyes in confusion, you are not alone…” “Covered entities may avoid violations of The NYCHRL by creating a policy of asking everyone what their preferred gender pronoun is so that no individual is singled out for such questions and by updating their systems to allow all individuals to self-identify their names and genders. They should not limit the options for identification to male and female only,” states the NYCHRL on gender identity”. THIS WILL LITERALLY CAUSE ALL BUSINESSES TO REVISE THEIR ORDER FORMS. Again, what small business can afford such an onerous demand? Can you imagine every business being forced to ask every customer as they walk through the door if they want to be referred to as “he”, “ze”, and “hir”?Canada is on the verge of passing legislation that makes illegal to criticize transgenders. Here are the relevant parts of this very vague law. Criminal Code 2014, c. 31, s. 12 3 Subsection 318(4) of the Criminal Code is replaced by the following: Definition of identifiable group (4) In this section, identifiable group means any section of the public distinguished by colour, race, religion, national or ethnic origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or mental or physical disability. New York, and Canada, this is not just happening in Europe. Conclusion Who is to say that “sexual orientation” will not be extended to pedophiles as there is precedent for this type of bootstrapping? It is the next logical step and we have four decades of bootstrapping various forms of sexual orientation into the next form sexual orientation. Yes, I know this EU document stifles free speech and protects Muslim immigrants coming into Europe, but the incessant reappearance of the term “sexual orientation” is troublesome because in the document, absolutely no criticism is allowed as it is referred to group libel. Each and everyday we move closer to eliminating the final prohibition. The final day of elimination is nearly here.

Obama Slams Door in Putin’s Face: Says if Putin doesn’t want Russia’s retaliatory forces eliminated, he’ll need to be the one to press the nuclear button first

23111 Views June 06, 2016 by Eric Zuesse

Actions speak louder than mere words, and U.S. President Barack Obama has now acted, not only spoken. His action is to refuse to discuss with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russia’s biggest worry about recent changes in America’s nuclear strategy — particularly a stunning change that is terrifying Putin. On Sunday June 5th, Reuters headlined “Russia Says U.S. Refuses Talks on Missile Defence System”, and reported that, “The United States has refused Russian offers to discuss Washington’s missile defence programme, Russian Deputy Defence Minister Anatoly Antonov was quoted as saying on Sunday, calling the initiative ‘very dangerous’.Russia’s concern is that, if the “Ballistic Missile Defense” or “Anti Ballistic Missile” system, that the United States is now just starting to install on and near Russia’s borders, works, then the United States will be able to launch a surprise nuclear attack against Russia, and this system, which has been in development for decades and is technically called the “Aegis Ashore Missile Defense System”, will annihilate the missiles that Russia launches in retaliation, which will then leave the Russian population with no retaliation at all, except for the nuclear contamination of the entire northern hemisphere, and global nuclear winter, the blowback from America’s onslaught against Russia, which blowback some strategists in the West say would be manageable probems for the U.S. and might be worth the cost of eliminating Russia. That theory, of a winnable nuclear war (which in the U.S. seems to be replacing the prior theory, called “M.A.D.” for Mutually Assured Destruction) was first prominently put forth in 2006 in the prestigious U.S. journal Foreign Affairs, headlining “The Rise of Nuclear Primacy” and which advocated for a much bolder U.S. strategic policy against Russia, based upon what it argued was America’s technological superiority against Russia’s weaponry and a possibly limited time-window in which to take advantage of it before Russia catches up and the opportunity to do so is gone. Paul Craig Roberts was the first reporter in the West to write in a supportive way about Russia’s concerns that Barack Obama might be a follower of that theory. One of Roberts’s early articles on this was issued on 17 June 2014 and headlined “Washington Is Beating The War Drums”, where he observed that “US war doctrine has been changed. US nuclear weapons are no longer restricted to a retaliatory force, but have been elevated to the role of preemptive nuclear attack.” Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has tried many times to raise this issue with President Obama, the most recent such instance being via a public statement of his concern, made on May 27th. Apparently, the public statement by Antonov on June 5th is following up on that latest Putin effort, by Antonov’s announcement there that Obama now explicitly refuses to discuss Putin’s concerns about the matter. The fact that these efforts on the part of the Russian government are via public media instead of via private conversations (such as had been the means used during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, when the shoe was on the other foot and the U.S. President was concerned about the Soviet President’s installation of nuclear missiles 90 miles from the U.S. border) suggests that Mr. Obama, unlike U.S. President John Fitzgerald Kennedy in 1962, refuses to communicate with Russia, now that the U.S. is potentially in the position of the aggressor. Russia is making its preparations, just in case it will (because of the Aegis Ashore system) need to be the first to attack. However, some knowledgeable people on the subject say that Russia will never strike first. Perhaps U.S. President Obama is proceeding on the basis of a similar assumption, and this is the reason why he is refusing to discuss the matter with his Russian counterpart. However, if Mr. Obama wishes to avoid a nuclear confrontation, then refusing even to discuss the opponent’s concerns would not be the way to go about doing that. Obama is therefore sending signals to the contrary — that he is preparing a nuclear attack against Russia — simply by his refusal to discuss the matter. In this case, his action of refusal is, itself, an answer to Putin’s question, like slamming the door in Putin’s face would be. It’s a behavioral answer, instead of a merely verbal one. The geostrategist John Helmer discussed on May 30th the question of when the “Trigger Point” will likely be for Putin to decide whether there is no reasonable alternative but to launch — and for him then to launch — World War III.

Anchors Away -- Obama Sinks U.S. Navy

By Daniel John Sobieski

As China builds military bases on man-made islands in the South China Sea, the staggering decline in U.S. naval readiness was made clear when a group of Navy captains testified before an unusual joint hearing of the House Armed Services Committee’s sea power and readiness subcommittees last week. It was made clear that President Ronald Reagan’s 600-ship Navy is a distant memory as we return to the Jimmy Carter era of ships that can’t sail and planes that can’t fly for want of spare parts. This sad state of affairs is accomplishing what the Japanese Imperial Navy could not -- defeat the U.S. Navy and leave the seas increasingly open to hostile adversaries and leaving us increasingly unable to come to the aid of our remaining allies. As the Navy captains testified: “About every three months or so we would get a new schedule” for the submarine USS Albany, said Capt. Gregory McRae, deputy commander of Submarine Squadron Six. “Today, we are looking at a 43-month overhaul for a maintenance period that was supposed to last 28 months.” “Cannibalization” -- pulling scarce spare parts off one ship or plane to fix another about to deploy -- is now routine, the captains testified. For example, the USS Normandy has served as an organ donor for 13 different “mission critical” components over the last 45 days, crippling the anti-aircraft cruiser‘s radar. “I could not possibly surge right now” for an emergency deployment, testified Normandy skipper Capt. Scott Robertson. Naval air forces are in similar straits. Four of the Navy’s 10 carrier air wings are fully manned and equipped, but those four are the ones either deployed or about to deploy, said Capt. Randy Stearns. Getting one of the other six wings ready to go in an emergency would take six to 12 months, “three times as long” as when he was a young officer, Stearns said: “As of today, we don’t have that surge capacity.” Carrier Air Wing One will not have the funds or parts to fly at all for four months, Stearns testified. That will save $9 million to $13 million in the short run, but they’ll never get those months of training back, said Stearns. In the long term, “it’s going to take me three times the amount and three times the cost to get them back up to speed.” Compounding this crisis is the Budget Control Act, “We’ve never caught up” on the maintenance and training cancelled in 2013, said Capt. Stearns. Last year’s budget deal loosened the BCA caps for fiscal year 2016 but kept them $18 billion tighter for 2017. While it has been the media-accepted talking point of the Obama administration that sequestration was a bipartisan readiness suicide pact forced on it by the Congress, Investor’s Business Daily has pointed out that this myth has been demolished by reporter Bob Woodward of Watergate fame: If President Obama has an enemies list, Bob Woodward is probably at the top of it. After all, it was Woodward who started the unraveling of the president’s “sequestration apocalypse” mantra by confirming it was the White House’s idea in the first place. When President Obama said the “sequester is not something that I proposed,” he lied. His then-OMB Director Jack Lew, recently confirmed as Treasury Secretary, and White House Legislative Affairs Director Rob Nabors pitched the idea to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who pushed it, according to Woodward’s book, “The Price of Politics.” When Woodward called a senior White House official last week to tell him that, in a piece in that weekend’s Washington Post, he would question President Obama’s account of how sequestration came about, he said the Obama aide “yelled at me for about a half-hour,” ending with the Nixonesque warning, “I think you will regret staking out that claim.” That official was Gene Sperling, a top economic aide. Such willful neglect of the U.S. military by our commander-in-chief had geopolitical consequences. An editorial in the Global Times, a newspaper seen as a mouthpiece for hard-line nationalists in Beijing, warns of the consequences of resistance: “If the United States’ bottom line is that China has to halt these activities, then a U.S. China war is inevitable in the South China Sea.” As Investor’s Business Daily has noted: Beijing has long declared the South China Sea to be its territorial waters and has laid claim to two disputed chains: the Paracel Islands, about 200 miles from the coast of Vietnam, and the Spratly Islands in the southeastern part of the South China Sea. China's territorial ambitions include the Senkakus in the East China Sea, part of what Chinese military doctrine refers to as the "first island chain" that surrounds China. In the South China Sea, as of February, China had finished construction on no less than six different island reefs from which to project its power in the South China Sea. Included in its military effort is the construction of a 3,000 meters (9,842 feet) long runway on the artificially expanded Fiery Cross Reef as a base for Chinese fighter aircraft. According to Reuters, China's creation of artificial islands in the South China Sea is happening so fast that Beijing will be able to extend the range of its navy, air force, coastguard and fishing fleets before long, much to the alarm of rival claimants to the contested waters. Reclamation work is well advanced on six reefs in the Spratly archipelago, according to recently published satellite photographs and Philippine officials. In addition, Manila said this month that Chinese dredgers had started reclaiming a seventh. Naval commanders are worried that our ability to respond to such threats has been severely compromised by an Obama administration more concerned about rising sea levels than rising threats on those seas. The Navy captain’s Congressional testimony come after the Chinese announcement that it is building its second aircraft carrier to go along with a refurbished Soviet carrier, the Liaonng, commissioned by China in 2012 after extensive refitting of the 25-year-old vessel. As IBD has reported, the Liaoning is only the first step in the building of a blue-water navy capable of competing with our diminishing one, with Admiral Samuel J. Locklear III, chief of the U.S. Pacific Command, warning that the U.S. was losing its Pacific dominance to China: China's Communist Party-affiliated newspaper, Global Times, gloated over Locklear's warning, noting his remarks in a story beneath the headline "U.S. losing grip on Pacific: PACOM." In the Times story, Jin Canrong, a deputy dean of the School of International Studies at Renmin University of China, said the American admiral's comments recognize China as a rising military power. Indeed, it is. China has launched its first stealth drone, known as Sharp Sword, and is developing indigenous aircraft carriers. Its "two-ocean strategy" is based on the goal of building a fleet of five or six carrier battle groups. China's first battle group, led by its first carrier, the Liaoning, recently conducted a monthlong exercise that saw the refurbished Soviet-built flattop and her escorts sail south to the waters near Taiwan. During the exercise, a Chinese warship nearly collided with the guided missile cruiser USS Cowpens, which was shadowing the battle group. China is preparing for a naval confrontation with the United States. We may lose that confrontation in the South China Sea because the U.S. Navy is scavenging for spare parts.

Bill, White House staff lived in fear of Hillary: Ex-Secret Service officer

By Emily Smith 6-5-16

Hillary Clinton has a “Jekyll and Hyde” personality that left White House staffers scared stiff of her explosive — and even physical — outbursts, an ex-Secret Service officer claims in a scathing new tell-all. Gary Byrne, who was posted outside the Oval Office when Bill Clinton was president, portrays Hillary as too “erratic, uncontrollable and occasionally violent” to become leader of the free world, according to advance promotional materials exclusively obtained by Page Six. The allegations from Byrne, a 29-year veteran of the military and federal law enforcement, threaten to derail her campaign days before she is expected to clinch the Democratic presidential nomination. He describes Hillary Clinton as acting friendly one moment, then raging the next. “What I saw in the 1990s sickened me,” he writes in the intro of the book, “Crisis of Character: A White House Secret Service Officer Discloses his Firsthand Experience with Hillary, Bill, and How They Operate.” The book claims she repeatedly screamed obscenities at her husband, Secret Service personnel and White House staffers — all of whom lived in terror of her next tirade. Secret Service agents had discussions about the possibility that they would have to protect Bill from his wife’s physical attacks, Byrne writes, and the couple had one “violent encounter” the morning of a key presidential address to the nation. Meanwhile, a paranoid Hillary Clinton tried to have the Secret Service banned from the White House and once tried to ditch her security detail, Byrne says. “Hillary Clinton is now poised to become the Democratic nominee for president of the United States, but she simply lacks the integrity and temperament to serve in the office,” he writes. “From the bottom of my soul I know this to be true. And with Hillary’s latest rise, I realize that her own leadership style — volcanic, impulsive, enabled by sycophants, and disdainful of the rules set for everyone else — hasn’t changed a bit.” The book isn’t set for release until June 28, but pre-orders have sent it to No. 1 on Amazon’s best-seller list. Byrne — who was subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury that investigated Bill Clinton’s affair with intern Monica Lewinsky — claims in the book that he interrupted the president’s sexual shenanigans in the White House. Byrne says he walked into a room where the president was “involved inappropriately with a woman” who was neither his wife nor Lewinsky. And he says he once threw out a White House towel stained with a woman’s lipstick — and the president’s “bodily fluids.” Byrne describes arriving for work one day in 1995 following a loud fight between the Clintons the night before. The dust-up, he says, left a light blue vase “smashed to bits” and Bill sporting a “real, live, put-a-steak-on-it black eye.” Byrne’s book amplifies earlier allegations of mistreatment of Secret Service personnel by Hillary Clinton — including in 2014’s “First Family Detail” by former Washington Post reporter Ronald Kessler and last year’s “The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House,” which also detailed a fight between Bill and Hillary over the Lewinsky affair. Hillary Clinton’s campaign downplayed Byrne’s book and compared him to Edward Klein, author of last year’s “Unlikeable: The Problem with Hillary.” Play Video “Gary Byrne joins the ranks of Ed Klein and other ‘authors’ in this latest in a long line of books attempting to cash in on the election cycle with their nonsense,” spokesman Nick Merrill said. “It should be put in the fantasy section of the book store.” A spokeswoman for presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump suggested Byrne’s book would be grist for his campaign as prepares to face Clinton in the general election. “The issue of temperament is more a problem for Hillary Clinton,” said the spokeswoman, Katrina Pierson. “I don’t recall Mr. Trump ever screaming at the Secret Service, calling them pigs, throwing vases across the room and clawing the face of his spouse, which Hillary Clinton has been reported to do,” she told CNN.

Thirteen of 23 Co-Ops Created Under Obamacare Have Failed

Ohio’s In Health Mutual co-op is latest to fail after posting significant losses

BY: Ali Meyer June 2, 2016 12:45 pm

Ohio’s In Health Mutual co-op announced last week that it is going out of business, making it the 13th co-op to fail out of the 23 that were created under Obamacare. The Ohio Department of Insurance asked to liquidate the company, saying that the company was in a “hazardous financial condition.” The co-op served nearly 22,000 consumers who now have 60 days to find another policy offered by another company on the federal exchange. “Our examination of the company’s financials made it clear that the company’s losses would prevent it from paying future claims should its operations continue,” said Ohio Director of Insurance Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor. “Under Ohio law, we acted with certainty to protect the consumers.” The company recorded an underwriting loss of $80 million in 2015 despite the $129 million in taxpayer-backed loans granted to the co-op by the federal government. InHealth Mutual was also placed under “enhanced oversight,” one of three tools the Department of Health and Human Services has to monitor co-ops in financial distress. When a co-op is placed under enhanced oversight, it means the company is consistently underperforming and allows the department to give detailed and more frequent reviews of the loan recipient’s operations and financial status. According to Columbus Business First, medical claims were coming in at a rate of $3 million per week and the company would have had to raise premiums by 60 percent in 2017 to keep up. If InHealth Mutual were to stay in business through the end of 2016, projections show that the company would have posted losses of $20 million. Ohio’s failed co-op is added to the list of 12 co-ops that have already failed in Arizona, Michigan, Utah, Kentucky, New York, Nevada, Louisiana, Oregon, Colorado, Tennessee, South Carolina, and a co-op that served both Iowa and Nebraska. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services chief operating officer Mandy Cohen told lawmakers in February that eight of the 11 remaining Obamacare co-ops in operation were selected for “corrective action plans” and “enhanced oversight.” She did not disclose which co-ops were placed on these plans. A professor who specializes in economics and health insurance told lawmakers in March that closures of the remaining co-ops seem likely. “The future of the 11 co-ops still providing coverage in 2016 is uncertain, but future closures seem likely,” said Dr. Scott Harrington. “The 10 co-ops still operating with June 30 financials reported a cumulative loss of $202.3 million.” “Very little, if any, of the $1.24 billion in federal start-up and solvency loans to establish those co-ops will be repaid, and at least several will be unable to meet all of their obligations to policyholders and health care providers,” he said. The Department of Health and Human Services did not respond to requests for comment by press time.

Pensions may be cut to 'virtually nothing' for 407,000 people

by Katie Lobosco @KatieLobosco May 20, 2016: 2:03 PM ET

One of the biggest private pension funds in the country is almost out of money, and fresh out of options. The Central States Pension Fund has no new plan to avoid insolvency, fund director Thomas Nyhan said this week. Without government funding, the fund will run out of money in 10 years, he said. At that time, pension benefits for about 407,000 people could be reduced to "virtually nothing," he told workers and retirees in a letter sent Friday. In a last-ditch effort, the Central States Pension Plan sought government approval to partially reduce the pensions of 115,000 retirees and the future benefits for 155,000 current workers. The proposed cuts were steep, as much as 60% for some, but it wasn't enough. Earlier this month, the Treasury Department rejected the plan because it found that it would not actually head off insolvency. The fund could submit a new plan, but decided this week that there's no other way to successfully save the fund and comply with the law. The cuts needed would be too severe. Related: Treasury rejects pension cuts for 273,000 workers and retirees Normally, when a multi-employer fund like Central States runs out of money, a government insurance fund called the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) kicks in so that retirees still receive some kind of benefit. But that's not a great solution in this case. For one thing, the amount is smaller than what pensioners would have received under the Central States reduction plan, and is based on the number of years a retiree worked. A retiree would receive a maximum $35.75 a month for each year worked, according to the fund's website. (That amounts to $1,072.50 a month for retiree who worked 30 years.) But there's yet another problem. The PBGC itself is underfunded and isn't expected to be able to cover all the retirees in the Central States Pension Fund. "The fact that the ... PBGC is also running out of money means our participants may see their pension benefits ultimately reduced to virtually nothing when the fund runs out of money," Nyhan said in his letter. Only government funding, either to the Central States Fund directly or through the PBGC, can fix the problem, he said. The Central States Pension Fund covers workers and retirees from more than 1,500 companies across a range of industries, but most of its retirees were truck drivers. A lot of the fund's companies went bankrupt after the trucking industry was deregulated in the 1980s. That's part of the reason the fund is in trouble now. It's currently paying out $3 for every $1 it takes in. Related: Is your pension safe? These are the next funds to fail Although the Treasury Department rejected the proposed cuts, Secretary Jack Lew acknowledged that its decision does not resolve the problem. He urged Congress to address the remaining issues. Nyhan is also asking Congress to come up with a solution. But right now there's only one piece of legislation on the table that could help, he said. The bill was introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders last year, but never moved out of committee. It's called the Keep Our Pension Promises Act (KOPPA) and would provide more funding for the PBGC, specifically for struggling multi-employer plans. It would be paid for by closing a loophole in the estate tax and a tax break on sales of expensive art and other collectibles, according to Sanders' website.

Two California beaches forced to close after sightings of eight-foot-long sharks

A two-mile stretch of Orange County shoreline has been closed after several large sharks were spotted on Sunday

A sheriff's helicopter crew spotted sharks off Sunset Beach in Huntington Beach around 2pm

The sharks were estimated to be at least 8 feet long and 150 yards from shore

Fire department said Sunset Beach and the adjoining Surfside Beach in Seal Beach have been shut down until at least Monday morning

By Associated Press and Myriah Towner For Dailymail.com Published: 21:40 EST, 5 June 2016 | Updated: 01:54 EST, 6 June 2016

A two-mile stretch of Orange County shoreline has been closed after several large sharks were spotted. A sheriff's helicopter crew spotted the sharks off Sunset Beach in the city of Huntington Beach on Sunday around 2pm. The sharks were estimated to be at least 8 feet long and 150 yards from shore. A Huntington Beach Police Department helicopter then flew out around 3.30pm to surveillance the area and spotted the three sharks, according to the Orange County Register. 'Because of the size, we closed the water down,' Huntington Beach lifeguard Lt. Claude Panis told the Orange County Reigster. 'Our policy is to close the water down for at least four hours. The beach is open. We made adjustments, posted signs and we cleared the water out.' The Huntington Beach Fire Department said Sunset Beach and the adjoining Surfside Beach in Seal Beach have been shut down until at least Monday morning. Authorities will re-evaluate the waters on Monday morning to determine if they will open the shoreline up. The sighting came a week after a swimmer in a wetsuit was attacked by a shark about 15 miles to the south at Corona Del Mar State Beach on May 30. The woman, 52-year-old Maria Korcsmaros, had a bite from a large shark on her upper body, but she is expected to survive. She was pulled from the Pacific Ocean by lifeguards on a patrol boat on Sunday about 150 yards off the shore of Newport Beach after she was seen in distress. The shark that attacked her was not found. With the increase in great white sightings in the last few years, researchers who have been studying juvenile sharks off Sunset Beach said juveniles have a tendency to leave during the colder months. However, the researchers at Cal State Long Beach's Shark Lab said some have remained in the area as a result of warmer waters due to El Nino.

US unemployed have quit looking for jobs at a 'frightening' level: Survey

Jeff Cox | @JeffCoxCNBCcom Wednesday, 8 Jun 2016 | 10:25 AM ET

Nearly half of unemployed Americans have quit looking for work, and the numbers are even worse for the long-term jobless, according to a poll released Wednesday that paints a grim picture of the labor market. Some 59 percent of those who have been out of work for two years or more say they have stopped looking, the Harris Poll of unemployed Americans showed. Overall, 43 percent of the jobless said they have given up, according to the poll released in conjunction with Express Employment Professionals, a job placement service. "This is a tale of two economies," Express CEO Bob Funk said in a statement. "It's frightening to see this many people who could work say they have given up." The results come just a few days after a government report showed that the unemployment rate fell to 4.7 percent in May, but the drop came primarily because of a sharp decline in the labor force participation rate. The number of people of all ages whom the government considers "not in the labor force" swelled by 664,000 to a record 94.7 million Americans, according to Labor Department data. Job creation, after averaging more than 200,000 for much of the recovery, has slowed considerably this year. May saw just 38,000 new jobs, part of a trend in which payrolls have grown an average of 116,000 over the past three months and less than 150,000 for all of 2016. The greatest concentration of unemployment is in the 18-29 age group, which comprises one-third of all the jobless: Nearly half of unemployed Americans have quit looking for work, and the numbers are even worse for the long-term jobless, according to a poll released Wednesday that paints a grim picture of the labor market.

The unemployed are spending just 11.7 hours a week looking for work. More than half — 51 percent — say they haven't had a job interview since 2014. There's virtually no stand-out preference in the presidential race: 27 percent prefer presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, while 23 percent favor likely Republican standard-bearer Donald Trump. While much has been made over the decline in the labor force participation rate — at 62.6 percent, it is just off its lowest level since late 1977 — some economists think the fear is overdone. They argue that the drop is due in large part to an aging population, among other causes. "Almost all of the decline that we've seen over the last decade or so is due to three factors: retiring baby boomers just leaving the labor force, college students getting more education than ever and disability," Andrew Chamberlain, chief economist at job placement site Glassdoor, said in an interview. "I don't think it's particularly worrisome." There was one optimistic sign in the survey: 22 percent said the reason they are out of work is because they quit, up from 15 percent in 2014, a trend economists generally equate with a more mobile labor force. The Harris/Express poll was conducted from May 5-16 and surveyed 1,513 jobless Americans, and carries a 95 percent confidence level.

Israel Arrests Third Suspect in Tel Aviv Attack

VOA News Last updated on: June 09, 2016 7:48 PM

Israeli security forces have arrested a third suspect in Wednesday's terrorist attack in Tel Aviv that killed four and wounded five. Police captured him Thursday in the West Bank town of Yatta. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the suspect a collaborator with the two Palestinian cousins from Yatta alleged to have opened fire on diners and shoppers at a popular marketplace. Both were in police custody. As promised, Israel reacted strongly to Wednesday's attack, suspending travel permits for 83,000 Palestinians during the holy month of Ramadan. Netanyahu said police placed a quarantine around Yatta and canceled hundreds of work permits for members of the clan to which the suspects belong. The prime minister also said more security steps were planned, but he declined to give details. U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner said Thursday that Israel should avoid punishing those who have nothing to do with terrorism. "We certainly respect their [Israel's] desire to express outrage and to protect the safety of their people," Toner said. "But we would only urge any measure that it takes be done with the consideration towards the many innocent Palestinians who are simply trying to go about their daily lives." Toner again said there could never be any justification for terrorism. He said that the U.S. supported Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' statement denouncing attacks on civilians, but that it was deeply troubled by the statement from the militant Palestinian group Hamas celebrating the shootings. Hamas has not officially claimed responsibility for the shootings, but a Hamas official called them a "heroic operation." There were also celebrations in some Palestinian towns after the killings. Netanyahu said, "It only reminds us whom and what we're dealing with." Wednesday's shootings were carried out at the Sarona marketplace in central Tel Aviv, a popular gathering place for shopping and dining. Security footage broadcast on Israeli television showed frantic diners scrambling for safety between tables and overturned chairs as the shooting began. The gunmen, well-dressed in coats and ties, shot some of the victims at point-blank range. Israel has seen a relative lull in nine months of Palestinian attacks on Israeli civilians and police, which were sparked by rumors that Israel was planning to take over an East Jerusalem religious site sacred to Muslims and Jews.

Is Syria's Current Unraveling Tied to Biblical Prophecy?

By Billy Hallowell , Op-Ed Contributor June 9, 2016|7:40 am

Smoke rises after airstrikes on the rebel-held al-Sakhour neighborhood of Aleppo, Syria. April 29, 2016.

Are the biblical end times upon us? And, if so, what can we discern from the scriptures when it comes to the actual events that will comprise the so-called "end of the age?" These are just two of the central questions that I address in my newly released book, The Armageddon Code: One Journalist's Quest for End-Times Answers, as the text includes interviews with around 20 of the most prolific and thoughtful Bible experts about where they stand on a plethora of eschatological issues. The book tackles the oft-times contentious debate over the rapture, the tribulation, the Millennium, the possibility of a future Antichrist, the modern state of Israel and a number of other subjects related to the contemporary study of Bible prophecy. Presented through a journalistic lens, The Armageddon Code takes readers through the ins and outs of the debate, while more specifically offering believers the opportunity to check their own beliefs against experts' claims, and better understand why eschatology is a such a complex and multifaceted subject — one that continues to be hotly debated among Bible scholars. What follows is a sample chapter from the book titled, "Syria's Current Unraveling and Its Tie to Biblical Prophecy." The text focuses on the debate among some scholars over whether the current violence and chaos in Syria could be related to prophetic scriptures in the Books of Isaiah and Jeremiah: Is the world also about to see biblical prophecy come to fruition in Syria? Among others, Joel Rosenberg has questioned whether events inside the war-torn country in recent years are also related to prophecy, especially in light of what's found in Old Testament scriptures like Isaiah 17 and Jeremiah 49. "We're watching Damascus unravel...is that the prelude to the completion of those prophesies?" he rhetorically asked. "We don't know, but Damascus is the oldest continuously inhabited city on the planet . . . so the fact that it is coming apart is quite extraordinary." Following Russia's air strikes targeting rebels in Syria in October 2015, questions began reemerging in Evangelical circles about whether events surrounding the country's ongoing civil war, which began in 2011, were tied in any way to biblical prophecy. Rosenberg published a blog post in the wake of the air strikes claiming that Russian president Vladimir Putin is "working hand-in- glove with Iran's government" in formulating operations in Syria.3 It came the same week as reports that Iran was waging a ground attack, while Russia was carrying out assaults from the air. Rosenberg, as he did in interviews for this book and past exchanges with The Blaze on this same subject, specifically referenced the Old Testament in addressing the matter, invoking many of the themes that we dissected in previous chapters. "The Hebrew prophet Ezekiel wrote 2,500 years ago that in the 'last days' of history, Russia and Iran will form a military alliance to attack Israel from the north," Rosenberg wrote. "Bible scholars refer to this eschatological conflict, described in Ezekiel 38–39, as the 'War of Gog & Magog.'" He added, "Are these sudden and dramatic moves by Moscow and Tehran...simply coincidental, or [do they] have prophetic implications?" Rosenberg's question is at the center of the very debate surrounding Iran, Syria, and Russia and their perceived involvement in the end times — one that has attracted a great deal of attention both in Christian circles and in media over the years. The military alliance between Russia and Iran was also discussed by Laurie, who said that the "entrance of Russia . . . as an ally of Syria and Iran, and this alliance between Russia and Iran is a special interest in the Bible." He called the current alignments between Russia and Iran particularly notable, though he said that it is important to differentiate between the details he's certain of and those that he cannot definitively speak to. "I'm very careful when I teach Bible prophecy to not paint myself into a corner and say things that I can't be certain of," Laurie told me. "Do I know with 100 percent certainty that Gog is Russia? No, I do not." But, despite not being able to say with complete and utter confi- dence the identities of Gog and Magog, there are some elements sur- rounding Ezekiel that Laurie said he is most confident about. "Do I know that a force called Gog and Magog will march against Israel? Yes, I do. That's the way I teach it," he said. "I offer my views, but I always give myself a little wiggle room, because clearly people have thought other things in the past and have been wrong, so we want to be very careful to not say this is absolutely the interpretation unless the Bible is completely clear on the topic." Back in 2013 I first began dissecting this subject in a series for TheBlaze, speaking with experts about what role, if any, they believe Syria will play in eschatological scenarios. I noted at the time that there's one par- ticular Bible passage that's rekindling the entire discussion surrounding how Syria might fit into end-times theology: Isaiah 17:1–3. It reads, "See, Damascus will cease from being a city; it shall be a ruinous heap. The cities of Aroer are forsaken; they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and no one shall make them afraid. The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Aram; they shall be as the glory of the sons of Israel, says the Lord of Hosts." The Syria example is perhaps a perfect paradigm to see how those with different theological viewpoints approach the same texts in very different ways. Consider that the first portion about a "ruinous heap" has some wondering if the present Syria crisis was prophesied in the Bible, but some scholars have countered that Damascus was already destroyed and that this verse refers to an attack by the Assyrians that unfolded in 732 BC. Specifically noting Isaiah 17:1–3 and Jeremiah 49:23–27, Rosenberg explained in a separate 2013 blog piece that — despite some experts referencing the Assyrian attack — Damascus's destruction has not yet happened. Jeremiah 49:23–27 pledges judgment upon Damascus, pro- claiming that it has "become helpless" and that a fire will be kindled in its walls. "These prophecies have not yet been fulfilled. Damascus is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth. It has been attacked, besieged, and conquered," Rosenberg wrote. "But Damascus has never been completely destroyed and left uninhabited." The prophecy expert went on to explain that Isaiah 17 and Jeremiah 49 speak to prophetic judgments that he believes God will dole out on Israel's neighbors and enemies before and during the Tribulation period. A boy, whose brother was killed, reacts at a site hit by airstrikes in the rebel-controlled area of Maaret al-Numan town in Idlib province, Syria, June 2, 2016. While Rosenberg was definitive in this sense, he did note that the Bible is not specific, in his view, about how the city will be destroyed or what that event will look like. Additionally he noted that the implications of this destruction are not known either, as the Holy Book does not go into substantial detail on the matter. During a phone interview with TheBlaze in 2013, Rosenberg also explained Syria's significance in the Bible, again bringing up both Isaiah 17 and Jeremiah 49. Claiming that these predictions get "very little attention," he explained that they each speak about the future of Damascus: "The Bible indicates clearly that Damascus will be utterly and completely destroyed at some point in the future — it will be a great cataclysmal [event] and it will be part of God's judgment," Rosenberg said. He added that he doesn't see "clean hands in the fight" in Syria and wonders if it's possible "that the judgment of Damascus is not only coming" but if it could be coming within our lifetime. Not everyone is on board with the claim that the Old Testament could be describing future — or even current — events that will befall Syria. Hank Hanegraaff also spoke about supposed biblical prophecies associated with the end times back in 2013 on his radio show. A caller asked about claims that the Book of Isaiah details coming destruction for Damascus, the capital of Syria, a claim to which Hanegraaff pushed back. "So, what you're saying is they're tying in the passages in Isaiah to what is currently happening in Syria...and this is just a classic example of newspaper eschatology and shame on the pastors that are doing this, because it either is a case of them not knowing the Word of God, which seems unlikely to me, or simply wanting to invite sensationalism and sophistry," he responded. "If you look at what the Bible actually says, it is very clear that the fulfillment comes in the biblical text as well." And Hanegraaff wasn't done there. "This whole notion is fulfilled in biblical history when the king of the Assyria captured and destroyed Damascus...if you look at Isaiah chapter 7, there's a permutation of this as well...you see the fulfill- ment in the very next chapter, Isaiah chapter 8," he continued. Hanegraaff went on to say that some pastors' decisions to transport pieces of prophecy to the twenty-first century are irresponsible. He called the action "embarrassing" and said that those pastors and Bible experts who embrace the idea are "dragging Christ's name through the mud." He simply doesn't believe that, on these matters, the Bible's writers were looking so fervently into the future, and he contends that they were speaking about prophecy that would unfold in the immediate and that has already come to pass.19 "I think the point we have to probably recognize is that all of the Bible was written for us, but none of it was written to us," he contended. "This book of Revelation was written to seven churches." Hanegraaff said that end-times prophecy has been touted for centuries, but none of it ever comes to pass. Rather than reading the Scriptures for what they are, he believes that some theologians are "reading into the Scriptures their own eschatological views." Dr. Candida Moss, a professor of New Testament and early Christianity at the University of Notre Dame, also penned a 2013 article attempting to debunk claims that Damascus may play a role in end times. She said that the city has already been repeatedly conquered. "Isaiah lived and wrote in the eighth century BCE [BC] and scholars think that the original prophecy referred to the conquest of Damascus by the Assyrians in 732 BCE [BC]," she wrote. "But that's not the only time Damascus has seen conflict." Moss went on to list those who had conquered Damascus, including Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar and Alexander the Great. She also explained that, in the seventh century, Damascus was in the middle of a Muslim siege led by General Khalid ibn al-Walid. Later the Turco-Mongol armies of Timur conquered it around the turn of the fifteenth century, killing the entire population and apparently erecting a tower built with severed heads. In the end, the debate is fascinating, as both sides — comprised of individuals who believe in Christ and who contend that Jesus will one day return — couldn't disagree more about the alleged signs and symbols present within the Bible's complex text.

At least 20 killed in Damascus bomb attack

Saturday 11 June 2016 15.23

At least 20 people were killed and scores wounded in twin suicide and car bomb blasts in a Damascus suburb that contains Syria's holiest Shia Muslim shrine, state television said. The so-called Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack, the IS-affiliated Amaq news agency said. A Shia religious cleric on the state-run Ikhbariyah TV channel said the car bomb blast was not far from the shrine area in the main al-Taen street. US condemns attack on besieged Syrian town by Assad regime The United States has condemned Bashar al-Assad's Syrian regime, accusing it of bombing starving civilians just hours after they received a long-delayed UN aid shipment. Late on Thursday, the besieged rebel-held town of Daraya received its first United Nations food delivery since 2012, a lifeline for the suffering population. Shortly afterwards, according to a witness and human rights monitors, President Assad's forces bombarded the town, dropping indiscriminate barrel bombs from helicopters as residents shared food. "The Syrian regime conducted multiple barrel bomb attacks on Daraya this morning," US State Department spokesman Mark Toner said. "That came just hours after the UN convoy arrived," he told reporters. "Obviously such attacks are unacceptable in any circumstance but in this case they also hampered the delivery and distribution of badly needed assistance." Mr Toner said the fact that President Assad had allowed the convoy in to the town at all was "positive, but only a partial delivery and we would call for the rest of the supplies to be delivered as soon as possible". And he said that only the United Nations should decide where and when to distribute aid inside Syria and that the fate of hungry populations must not be left to the regime. Meanwhile, a separate inter-agency convoy entered Douma in rebel-held Eastern Ghouta near Damascus last night. UN mediator Staffan de Mistura, speaking to reporters on Thursday, said President Assad's government had approved UN land convoys to 15 of 17 government-besieged areas in June. Air drops remain an option if the convoys did not move, he said. Hussam Aala, Syria's ambassador to the UN in Geneva, said: "Discussions are still going on about one pending location. The rest were all approved." Access to al Waer in Homs province was still under discussion, he said. Around 1.9 tonnes of medicines for chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes as well as antibiotics, from the World Health Organization were on the delivery that entered Daraya. However, the government did not approve delivery of three burns kits that would have been enough to treat about 30 people with dressings and pain killers, rejecting them from the approved list, WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic said. There was also anger and frustration at the insufficient amount of food aid delivered, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported. The British-based group tracks the war using sources on the ground. It cited the Daraya local council as saying the supplies brought in would not last two weeks. The council said the population of Daraya is over 8,000 - more than double what the UN estimates.  Source: AFP/Reuters

Al Qaeda's al-Zawahiri purportedly pledges allegiance to new Taliban chief

By Merieme Arif, CNN Updated 7:50 AM ET, Sat June 11, 2016

Who are the Taliban in 2016? 01:35

(CNN) A man purporting to be al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri pledged allegiance to the new Taliban leader Mawlawi Haibatullah Akhundzada in a recently released audio statement. "As the Emir of al Qaeda jihadist group, I present our allegiance to you," say the man's voice, which sounds like al-Zawahiri's. The statement was purportedly recorded on May 27. But CNN couldn't independently verify the message's authenticity. READ: Isolated bin Laden struggled to keep his bodyguards The statement appears to have been released through social media channels. Last month, the Taliban named Akhundzada to lead the Afghan militant group. The selection came after his predecessor Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansour was killed in a drone strike in Pakistan. The man purporting to be al-Zawahiri said in the message that the jihadist group was "sad" over the death of Mansour. He praised the dead leader for fighting against what he called "Russian and Christian crusaders" and for "dying a martyr after a long history of jihad."

Evangelicals give Trump stamp of approval

By Jonathan Swan June 10, 2016, 03:04 pm

Donald Trump was held up as the only choice for evangelical voters this November at a high-profile conference where faith leaders gave the presumptive Republican nominee their stamp of approval.

Trump received a nearly minute-long standing ovation at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority conference in Washington on Friday and was presented to the audience as the principled choice for Christian voters in the general election. Evangelical leader Ralph Reed, the chairman of Faith & Freedom and a leading political figure on the Christian right for decades, delivered a biblically minded rationale for voting Trump over Hillary Clinton. Describing Trump as a “good friend,” Reed confronted head on the faith community’s doubts about Trump’s personal morality, telling the audience that they shouldn’t be searching for perfection in their political leaders. Reed said there’s only one example of perfection in human history “and that’s Jesus Christ.” “Unlike a lot of our friends on the other side, we’re not looking for a political Messiah,” Reed said. “Because we already have a Messiah.” Reed said evangelical voters have an obligation not to stay home this November and rejected the argument by some values voters that they wouldn't vote because they see Clinton and Trump as a choice between two evils. Reed said that was demonstrably untrue because of Trump’s positions on abortion, gay marriage and the list he released of socially conservative Supreme Court nominees. Clinton, Reed added, supports “abortion on demand for any reason at all or for no reason at all.” He then listed what he said were her unacceptable views on gay marriage and other issues of importance to the Christian right. “That’s what’s on the ballot and we cannot escape the choice that’s before us,” Reed said. He added, in an apparent reference to Trump, that they serve an Almighty God who “uses imperfect people to achieve his perfect will.” While Trump won a plurality of evangelical voters during the GOP primaries, he needs millions more to turn out for him in the general election. Some social conservatives — including a number who voted for Ted Cruz over Trump in the primaries — still cannot bring themselves to support a candidate who curses in public and has made derogatory remarks about women. Trump tried to live up to Reed's billing in his speech Friday. It was a lower key, humbler Trump at the Omni Shoreham hotel. He used a teleprompter for the speech and delivered scripted lines that sounded like a conventional politician. “Together, friends, we will chart a new optimistic course for America,” Trump said. “We will restore faith to its proper mantle in society.” Trump even tried to show grace toward Code Pink protesters who interrupted his speech. As the women were escorted out by security, shouting about how terrible they thought Trump’s refugee policies were, the real estate tycoon didn’t say he wished he could punch them in the face, as he did about protesters during the primary season. Instead, Trump told the crowd that the protesters were expressing their rights of “freedom of speech. ”When the protestors were kicked out, audience members chanted “Trump! Trump! Trump!” and “USA! USA! USA!” One man chanted, “Build that wall! Build that wall!” And even Trump's proposed wall got its evangelical stamp of approval on Friday.

Palestinians Cheer Tel Aviv Slaughter

How Israel's "peace partners" react when women and children are ruthlessly murdered.

June 10, 2016 Ari Lieberman

The calm in Tel Aviv was shattered Wednesday night when two Arab gunmen in their 20s from the Palestinian Authority-controlled village of Yatta drew automatic weapons and began to systematically gun down every civilian in sight. When the carnage was over, four people – two men and two women – were dead and about a dozen others were wounded, three of them critically. Both terrorists were caught alive, though one sustained serious wounds during his apprehension. Israeli doctors performed life-saving emergency surgery on him while his victims were either dead or dying. The blood on the pavement hadn’t even dried before “Palestinians,” as is their custom, celebrated the “heroic Tel Aviv operation.” In Palestinian lexicon, terrorist attacks targeting innocent civilians – men, women and children – are routinely referred to as “heroic” or “martyrdom operations.” As Israelis were burying their dead, celebratory fireworks were going off in Hamas-controlled Gaza while elsewhere, in the PA-controlled West Bank, Palestinian Arabs were cheering and passing out sweets in recognition of their comrades’ bestial slaughter. Even the so-called “moderate” Palestinian President for Life, Mahmoud Abbas, couldn’t bring himself to call the Tel Aviv massacre, “terrorism” or “murder.” Instead, all he was able to muster was half-hearted disapproval. He issued a repulsive and disingenuous statement noting that the PA is opposed “to any ‘operation’ that harms civilians by anybody, regardless of the justifications.” Note use of the word “operation” to describe wanton violence and depravity. The Obama administration predictably gave Abbas a free pass and did not bother challenging his fake and rather pathetic statement of disapproval. This is an administration that has time and again failed to hold the PA to normal standards of morality and have them account for their aberrant behavior. Instead, the administration is besotted by Israeli “settlements” as though this was the cause of all the world’s ills. The administration deceitfully overlooks the fact that blame for this terror attack and many others rests squarely on the shoulders of Abbas and his Palestinian Authority which encourages incitement through official and unofficial channels. In every Palestinian venue and forum, in print and social media, Jews are routinely referred to as apes, pigs, monkeys, thieves and child killers. Ironically, the attack comes on the heels of several Israeli goodwill gestures to the Palestinians, including the issuance of nearly 90,000 travel permits, allowing Palestinians to travel to Israel in deference to the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The Palestinians in turn responded by blowing people away in a café, giving new meaning to the old adage of “no good deed goes unpunished.” Truth Revolt’s Tiffany Gabbay described the terrorists as worse than animals “because even animals do not kill for sadistic pleasure.” That assessment is accurate. The horrific CCTV footage of the attack reveals the true depths of their depravity. After shooting a civilian, who is seen lying motionless on the floor, one of the terrorist is observed gratuitously throwing a heavy object directly on the man’s head, causing the lifeless body to jolt. It was a sickening sight even by Palestinian standards of depravity. More troubling however, is the jubilant reaction from the Palestinian street. This is a society that revels in gore and bloodshed. It is a society that celebrates death – death of Jews and of American citizens. Following the September 11 attacks that resulted in the deaths of 3,000 people, Palestinians cheered. Old women were seen ululating while men danced, clapped, chanted Allahuakbar (what else?) and handed out sweets to mark the “joyous” event. Following the Boston Marathon bombing, they repeated the macabre spectacle, reveling in the murder of innocents. Arab apologists have attempted to justify the attacks, placing the blame not on the attackers but rather their victims, obscenely claiming that the “occupation” prompted the terrorists to act like bloody savages. They should be reminded however, that there was no “occupation” in 1920, 1921, 1929 and 1936 when Arabs perpetrated violent pogroms against Jewish citizens living under the British mandate. Those advocating for Palestinian statehood and independence should take note of Palestinian societal responses to acts of barbarism and savagery. Societies are capable of producing monsters but their deviant actions are reviled and condemned by the majority. But in the Palestinian case, the opposite holds true. They take pleasure in hearing news of butchery inflicted on civilians. It happened after 9-11. It happened after the Boston marathon attack and it happened after the Tel Aviv café attack. A society that collectively cheers when women and children are ruthlessly murdered and revels in gore and death is undeserving of statehood. This macabre mindset represents the single largest obstacle to peace and until it can be altered, negotiations are pointless.

Israel sets 3-day closure on West Bank ahead of Shavuot

The holiday celebrations, in conjunction with the deadly terror attack at Tel Aviv's Sarona Market on Wednesday, have contributed to a tense atmosphere, causing Israeli authorities to impose the strict measure on Palestinian travel.

Associated Press, Ynetnews & Reuters Published: 06.10.16, 15:58 / Israel News

The Israeli military says the West Bank will be closed off until the end of the Jewish holiday of Shavuot due to security concerns following a Palestinian shooting attack this week that killed four Israeli civilians. It said Friday that crossings will be open for "humanitarian" cases and for Palestinians to worship at al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. It said Friday that crossings will be open for "humanitarian" cases and for Palestinians to worship at al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. Police are on high alert in Jerusalem as thousands of Palestinians are expected for prayers on the first Friday of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The holy site has been a flashpoint of violence in the past, and tensions are especially high after Palestinian gunmen killed four Israelis in a shooting at a popular Tel Aviv tourist spot on Wednesday. The military says the closure will end Sunday night after the Shavuot holiday. Minister of Public Security Gilad Erdan and Israel Police Commissioner Roni Alsheikh gave statements to the press on Friday. "I have instructed the police to significantly reinforce their presence in places where many people gather. Operations against illegal aliens are constantly ongoing, and we will continue to exert the full power of the law with anyone who gives shelter, employs, or aids an illegal alien and does not report (them) to the police. Following the attack, steps were taken, which we reported to the police," Erdan said. Alsheikh added, "The distinction we make between terrorists and the (general) population is an important one, and we do everything so that we do not confuse (the two)... We will give (people) the feeling of security, in areas where there are no warnings or concrete concerns of terrorist attacks, but civilians, naturally, want to feel secure and the police pays a price (for that). This is a blanket that must be stretched where it's right to do so as far as answers to concrete threats is concerned, and as far as a feeling of security is concerned." When asked by the press about the investigation of Wednesday's attack, Alsheikh said that "There is a gag order, and we are certainly obligated (to follow it)." UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein condemned the Sarona Market attack but is deeply concerned about the revoking of permits "which may amount to prohibited collective punishment and will only increase the sense of injustice and frustration felt by Palestinians in this very tense time", spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani told a news briefing. "Israel has a human rights obligation to bring those responsible to account for their crimes. And this it is doing. However the measures taken against the broader population punish not the perpetrators of the crime, but tens - and maybe hundreds - of thousands of innocent Palestinians," Shamdasani said.

Deaths of Despair

by Hal Lindsey

Last week, the Centers for Disease Control issued a report on a growing phenomenon among white people in America — rising deaths from drug and alcohol abuse, diseases related to those addictions, and to suicide. The problem is so severe that it’s having a significant impact on average life expectancy. Anne Case, a Princeton University researcher, aptly called the phenomenon, “deaths of despair.” The study focused on whites, but it’s obvious that “deaths of despair” are rising among all ethnic groups. Since the report came out, journalists have been interviewing academics to find out what’s behind the phenomenon. The experts generally point to shrinking economic opportunity as the culprit. While economic distress can trigger such problems, it does not address the underlying issue. To find the answer, we have go back to age-old questions, and look at how twenty-first century Americans are answering them. In the first Star Trek movie, the character of Spock said, “Each of us, some time in our lives, turns to someone — a father, a brother, a god — and asks, ‘Why am I here? What was I meant to be?’” Government is ill-equipped to answer such questions. Though they often try, academia and the media also fail when confronted with these most basic questions of human existence. Their problem is that they have made materialism both their religion and their god. It leaves them with an empty, sterile universe. They see the cosmos as a remarkable accident that begat an even more remarkable series of accidents — eventually making the human race. And that’s it. The further they go in this direction, the greater the despair. In 1977, science fiction author Philip K. Dick said, “We are living in a computer-programmed reality.” That notion, still relatively obscure in the 70s, became the basis for the hit 1999 film, “The Matrix.” In 2003, Oxford Professor Nick Bostrom published a paper entitled, “Are You Living in A Computer Simulation?” His paper fired the imaginations of college students everywhere. Then, just a few days ago, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Motors, told Recode’s Code Conference, “There’s a one in billions chance that this is base reality.” In other words, this brilliant, highly influential man is virtually certain that all our lives are taking place within someone’s computer simulation. Do you see what’s happening? These “brilliant people” no longer believe in their own reality. The removal of the “being” from “the human” also happens in other ways. In 2011, Bruce Hood wrote the book, The Self Illusion: Why There is No ‘You’ Inside Your Head. He argues, along with Buddhists and a whole generation of neuroscientists, that “there is no real you” — that “self” is an illusion. Late in his life, Nobel Prize winning molecular biologist Francis Crick wrote, “‘You,’ your joys and your sorrows, your memories and your ambitions, your sense of personal identity and free will, are in fact no more than the behavior of a vast assembly of nerve cells and their associated molecules.He said, in effect, that the things that make you uniquely you are not even real. You are a machine and you do as you’re programmed. Remember, these are not the random thoughts of the lunatic fringe. They represent the mainstream within academic circles. And their thinking forms the basis of our modern view of reality. Look at entertainment. It is permeated by a sense of meaninglessness. The only things that fully engage modern cinematic heroes are fear and rage. It’s as if they’re searching for something human somewhere inside — of themselves, and their audience. Secular humanism tries to turn human beings into gods, but it does the opposite. Instead of gods, we become nothing at all — bereft of value and purpose. The road that begins with denying God, ends in denying our own existence as free and real moral agents. Concepts such as meaning and hope wither in an environment without God. The first chapter of Romans talks about nature giving evidence of God to all people. Then it says, “When they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. … Even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind.” (Romans 1:21-22, 28 KJV) The equation for understanding reality begins with God. If we reject Him, we begin a journey that will take us terrible places of horrible emptiness — more desolate than we ever dreamed. It happens because we forget a simple Proverb. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” (Proverbs 1:7 NASB) Those who reject God wind up exchanging hope, meaning, and purpose for the bare, animal pursuit of survival. It leaves only despair, and that despair is killing people right now. The only hope is to wrap ourselves around the love of God and to receive Jesus Christ’s forgiveness through His shed blood for us on the cross. Receive His forgiveness and invite Him into your heart NOW. You can change your eternal destiny forever by doing that right now. For the first time you can begin to learn the certainty of God’s eternal life and reality as He progressively teaches you the truth.

Orlando Pulse nightclub shooting: About 20 dead in act of terrorism, police say

June 12 2016

Twenty people are dead after a shooting at Orlando's Pulse nightclub in what investigators are calling an act of terrorism, Orlando Police Chief John Mina said at a morning news conference. A gunman took scores of people hostage overnight inside the nightclub between 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.; about 42 people were taken to area hospitals, Mina said. Officers killed the gunman, who has not been identified, in a shoot out and referred to him as a "lone wolf." He was carrying an assault rifle, a handgun and was possibly wearing an explosive "device." The Orange County Sheriff's Office hazardous device team is now searching the area. About 30 people were "saved during the rescue," Mina said. About 320 people were in the club when the hostage situation unfolded. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is leading the investigation. Agent Ron Hopper said they cannot rule this out as an act of domestic terrorism and that the suspect, who is not from Orlando, may have leanings toward extreme Islamic ideologies. Authorities said there is no indication of future attacks in Florida or across the nation. Mina said the situation is not related to a separate shooting Friday inside The Plaza Live theater in Orlando, where a man opened fire, killing former NBC's "The Voice" contestant Christina Grimmie and himself. Some victims were transported to Orlando Health, which established a family information center early this morning, asking family members to go to at 52 West Underwood St. Several family members stood outside the North entrance of ORMC awaiting news. Kenneth Melendez and his friends were at the club when the shooting happened. Four of his friends were shot and were at ORMC, he said. "It's just something that you see in the movies but never think would happen to you," he said. "At first, when I heard the shots I thought it was part of the music, but then we realized it was really happening. I started running and saw someone bleeding from the arm and I was like wow this is really happening and I kept running." He said he went to Pulse often because it was a "safe environment where you could express yourself ... Not anymore." Some family members standing outside ORMC said that certain floors were on lockdown and only immediate families of shooting victims could get in. Florida Hospital wouldn't confirm if any patients have been transported there this morning, but said they can check on names for families. In the early morning, dozens of emergency vehicles surrounded the chaotic scene at the club at 1912 S. Orange Ave. after the 2 a.m. shooting and rescue squads were transporting multiple victims to area hospitals. Witnesses said they heard at least 40 shots fired inside the club. Police reported just before 6 a.m. that the shooter inside the club was dead. Mina said his officers exchanged gunfire with the suspect in two shootings. Nine officers were involved in the shooting and one sustained an injury to his head and was saved by his helmet. At 5 a.m. authorities used an explosive device to distract the gunman, then authorities plowed through the club with a vehicle. Afterward, the Orlando Fire Department called for its bomb squad and hazardous material team to the scene after 3 a.m. Police K-9 dogs are searching the area around nearby Orlando Regional Medical Center with an armed deputy in head-to-toe military gear. Just after the shooting, Pulse Orlando's posted a note to its own page that said, "Everyone get out of pulse and keep running." The popular gay bar was full of people at the time of the incident. Emotional witnesses and family members of those who were in the club surrounded the area after shots rang out. One witness said the shooting lasted the duration of an entire song. It was Christopher Hansen's first visit to the club. The 32-year-old moved to Orlando about two months ago and went to meet someone for a "Latin night." He said he was near the front door of the bar when the shooting started. "I just fell down and crawled out," he said. "People were trying to escape out the back of the club." "I helped someone who was on the ground. I wasn't sure if he was dead or alive," he said. "I was like 'hey are you OK?'" He remembered hearing more than 40 shots, and siad the shooting continued as people ran from the bar. Police were yelling for him and others to get out. He said he took off a bandanna that was wrapped around his head, tied it in a knot and stuck it in the bullet wound in the man's back. Another witness, Rosie Feba, said she took her girlfriend to the club for the first time Saturday night. It was near closing time. "She told me someone was shooting. Everyone was getting on the floor," Feba said. "I told her I didn't think it was real, I thought it was just part of the music, until I saw fire coming out of his gun." Feba and her girlfriend ran out of the club. On the way out, they saw a man who had been shot. Feba grabbed him. Others around her called 911. Some of the man's blood stained the sleeve of her striped T-shirt. Both Feba and her girlfriend were unharmed, but shaken. They waited in a CVS parking lot for more information.

Mr. President, You Disgust Me

by Wayne Allyn Root13 Jun 20164,827 SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER

I’ve known for eight long years what a poor excuse for a man we have as a President. I’ve known for eight long years what a deep dark hole he is leading this country down. I’ve known for eight long years that he is either mentally unstable, incredibly ignorant, or an extreme Muslim sympathizer like we’ve never seen in the White House. I hope other Americans are waking up after the pathetic Presidential address to the nation about the Orlando Islamic terror attack. It’s time to talk frankly. Obama’s speech was the most insulting, revolting & embarrassing speech EVER by an American president. It made me sick to my stomach. Obama is the commander-in-chief. He certainly knows far more than an average citizen like me…certainly far more than the journalists on Fox News or CNN. Obama knows what the FBI chief knows…what the Orlando Police Chief knows…what the CIA knows…what military intelligence knows. His press conference was even pushed back by 30 minutes. Obviously he wanted the absolute latest intelligence. Yet at the moment he walked to the podium I already knew… A) The mass murderer was Muslim. B) He pledged allegiance to ISIS C) ISIS itself warned publicly 3 days earlier about a pending terrorist attack in Florida D) The murderer called 911 to give credit to ISIS before walking into the gay nightclub.. E) He yelled “Allah Akbar” before opening fire Only minutes after Obama was done with his pathetic address to the nation, it was reported that ISIS actually took credit for the attack. That was also undoubtedly known to him when he walked to that podium too. Yet with all of those facts at hand… Obama still did not mention the words “Islamic” or “Muslim” or even “Radical Islam” in the entire address to the nation. No mention was ever made of the religion or background of the worst mass murderer in United States history. Obama still would not say the words “Islamic” and “terror attack” in the same sentence. Obama still would not assign blame to Islam, or radical Islam, or Jihad. He knew exactly at that moment in time what this attack was. But he could not bring himself to mention those words. It’s just impossible for our President to ever assign blame to Islam. But he was certainly angry. Steam was clearly coming out of his ears because he had to admit the attack was in fact “terrorism.” We’ve been through this so many times before- he’s always quick to blame guns or Republicans, but the word “terrorism” rarely ever comes out of his mouth. But this time was different. All the facts were in. This was 100% ISIS verified before Obama walked to that podium. So he had to admit it was a “terror attack.” Even Obama knew he couldn’t avoid that. That had to burn him. He looked so angry and shocked that I half expected a Muslim prayer to end his speech. I could almost hear “Salaam Alaikum” rattling around in his brain. I know Obama, my old Columbia college classmate, like the back of my hand. I waited for the old tried and true liberal attack on guns. Obama didn’t disappoint. He had his usual hissy fit about guns being to blame. It was the gun’s fault. It had to be. The man who picked it up was a Muslim. We are under attack by radical Islam, most of the time by lone wolf attackers like this one- where one law-abiding American citizen with a gun could end the attack and save many lives. But amazingly, Obama’s only impulse is to disarm us. Obama and his socialist cabal want to disarm the innocent victims, leaving us helpless to defend ourselves. Just absorb a few of these facts about Obama and his Muslim connection: Obama is a man who wants to rush the process of importing more Muslims refugees into the USA (even military age males from war zones), even though his own Homeland Security Chief warns we cannot vet them. Obama’s not just purposely importing Muslims, he’s bringing them in at a record pace. Obama refuses to secure the border, even though Muslim terror cells are surely entering the USA hidden amongst the hordes of illegals from Mexico and Central America. Obama is a man who brings in twice the number of immigrants from Muslim nations versus European nations. Obama is the man who cut $2.6 billion in funding for U.S. veterans, while at the same time adding $4.5 billion to the budget to relocate Syrian refugees to America. Obama is the man who is obsessed with disarming Americans, at the exact same time he arms Muslim terrorists- remember he recently handed back to the terrorist state Iran $150 billion PLUS interest to buy weapons that will be used to murder Americans, Israelis and other Westerners. Obama is the man who has claimed that terrorists have “legitimate grievances.” Obama is the man who refused to use the word “Muslim” at a terrorism summit. But remarkably he opened that summit with a Muslim prayer. Obama is the man who claimed “Islam” has been woven into our country’s fabric from the first days of America. Obama is the man who refused to meet with Israel’s Prime Minister during a U.S. visit, but found time to meet with head of a Muslim country (Qatar) that supports terrorism during that same week. Let’s never forget this is the man who refused to place the U.S. flag at the White House at half-mast for almost a week after a terror attack at a U.S. military base. But on Sunday after a mass murder of gays, Obama ordered the White House flag to be lowered almost instantly. You couldn’t make this stuff up in a fiction movie. You’d be laughed out of Hollywood. Obama’s actions are revolting. His address to the nation on Sunday was both embarrassing and insulting. But more importantly, it was telling. No true American could or would EVER give speech like that. Mr. President, you disgust me. It’s time for Obama to resign from office, or be removed forcefully by a United States Congress with balls. Oh and one other thing… Pray for President Donald J. Trump.

Ramadan Massacre in Orlando At least 50 dead and 53 wounded.

June 13, 2016 Robert Spencer

It was the worst mass shooting ever on American soil: Omar Mateen, 29, opened fire at the Pulse, an Orlando, Florida gay nightclub, on Saturday night. Mateen murdered at least fifty people and wounded another 53. The death count is almost certain to go higher, as many are quite gravely wounded. Mateen was a Muslim who had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State and mentioned the Boston Marathon jihad killers in a 911 call just before he started shooting. Thus in the wake of the jihad massacre, it was time for the Leftist political and media elites to do what they always do first and foremost after every jihad massacre: make sure that no one thought ill of Islam. The FBI, to its credit, immediately declared the massacre a terror attack, but Barack Obama was circumspect about what kind: he declared that it was too early to know “the precise motivations of the killer.” This despite the fact that not only had Mateen pledged allegiance to the Islamic State and made reference to the Tsarnaev brothers, but also the Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack, and the FBI is investigating reports that Mateen recited Islamic prayers during the massacre. On top of all that, the attack took place during the Muslim month of Ramadan, during which the Islamic State has called for jihad attacks against Americans. Nonetheless, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, along with many other Leftists, tried to turn the jihad attack into a commercial for rolling back Americans’ Second Amendment rights, tweeting: “We mourn with the people of Orlando and the LGBT community as a whole on the news that -once again- we have lost precious lives to the gun.” Who knew that guns could be so diabolical and anti-gay? Leftist responses ranged from the ominous to the absurd. Ominously, Facebook and Reddit turned to censorship to try to prevent people from thinking ill of Islam. Facebook removed the Stop Islamization of America (SIOA) page, which had been up for six years and had over 55,000 members, and Reddit began banning people who dared to mention that the killer was a Muslim. On the absurd side, ACLU staff attorney Chase Strangio tweeted that the massacre was the fault of conservative Christians: “You know what is gross — your thoughts and prayers and Islamophobia after you created this anti-queer climate.” Does the illustrious Strangio actually believe that Omar Mateen was incited to commit mass murder in the gay nightclub in Orlando by an “anti-queer climate” created by Christian conservatives? He probably does, since, as a Leftist, he knows that non-Muslims are always and everywhere to blame for atrocities that Muslims commit. Not only are non-Muslims to blame for Muslim atrocities, but Muslims are their victims, even when no Muslims are killed. AFP reported that “Florida officials also invited a local Islamic leader to address the media in a bid to preempt a possible backlash against the Muslim community.” Imam Muhammad Musri of the Islamic Society of Central Florida warned against “sensationalizing” the story.

The Latest Islamist Attack: 49 Dead in Orlando

Mark Alexander · Jun. 12, 2016

Islamic cultures worldwide are as “tolerant” of homosexuals as they are of women, so it was no surprise to learn that the murder of 49 people and wounding of more than 50 others in a homosexual bar in Orlando Sunday was committed by a radical Islamist. Omar Saddiqui Mateen was the son of Afghan immigrants. Born in New York, he was a divorced security guard prior to the assault. After the attack, his father posted a video message noting that his son should have refrained because “God himself will punish those involved in homosexuality.” The FBI agent in charge, Ron Hopper, said the assailant bragged about “having ties to terrorist organizations.” He added in the most politically correct phrasing, “We do have suggestions that that individual may have leanings toward that particular ideology.” Now, what “particular ideology” that might be? Mateen was interviewed three times during two FBI investigations in 2013 and 2014. The assailant called 911 and swore allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State shortly after his initial assault. Peter King (R-NY), Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, confirmed the connections between Mateen and ISIL, and the Islamic State claimed credit for inspiring the attack. I have spent a few years consulting with counterterrorism analytical groups over the course of the last five presidential administrations. While the focus of those groups has always been the prevention of WMD attacks — and Obama’s Iran deal certainly ratchets up the potential of that threat vector — the most likely terrorist threats have always been low-tech. As I wrote in “Islamic Jihad — Target USA,” “The most likely near-term form of attack against civilians on our turf will be modeled after the conventional Islamist assaults in the Middle East — bombings and shootings, as we have now seen in Paris, London, Berlin, Brussels, Sydney, Toronto, Boston, New York and Washington. These attacks were low tech but effective in terms of instilling public fear.” Indeed, the 9/11 attacks started with box cutters, and subsequent attacks at Fort Hood, Boston, Chattanooga, San Bernardino and now, Orlando have all been low-tech. Predictably, Barack Obama used the tragedy to pander and promote his “gun control” agenda. “[W]e know enough to say that this was an act of terror and an act of hate,” declared Obama. But, he added, “We’ve reached no definitive judgment on the precise motivations of the killer.” Yet he certainly had reached a definitive judgment on the course of action: “The shooter was apparently armed with a handgun and a powerful assault rifle. This massacre is therefore a further reminder of how easy it is for someone to get their hands on a weapon that lets them shoot people in a school, or in a house of worship, or a movie theater, or in a nightclub. And we have to decide if that’s the kind of country we want to be. And to actively do nothing is a decision as well.” The words “Muslim” and “Islam” never crossed his lips. Fact is, Obama is the one “actively doing nothing” — about radical Islamic terror. Hillary Clinton joined in, saying, “This was … an act of hate. The gunman attacked an LGBT nightclub during Pride Month. To the LGBT community: Please know that you have millions of allies across our country. I am one of them. … [W]e need to keep guns like the ones used [in Orlando] out of the hands of terrorists or other violent criminals. This is the deadliest mass shooting in the history of the United States and it reminds us once more that weapons of war have no place on our streets.” Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, who just gave voting rights to murderers still in prison, tweeted, “Praying for victims, families & an end to senseless gun violence.” The Left media was no different. MSNBC’s Joy Reid declared, “Whether it’s a hate crime or whether it’s related to something related to international terrorism, we’re not getting to the core issue, which is how easy it is to get a gun.” Memo to the Demo-gogues and MSM pundits: The assailant is a “murderer,” not a “gunman.” The attack occurred in a “gun free” zone. And if Obama could wave his executive “magic wand” and remove all firearms from the United States, may I remind you that Islamists worldwide have murdered far more civilians with simple bomb components. Recall that there were more than three times the number of casualties in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing by a couple of deranged psychopaths, than in Orlando. That bomb was composed of readily available fertilizer and diesel fuel. Again, this is not a “gun problem,” and for the record, tens of millions of innocent men women and children have been slaughtered once their means of self-defense was confiscated. See Stalin, Hitler, Mao, et al. Oh, and if not blaming guns, leftists were also blaming Christians. ACLU staff attorney Chase Strangio (aptly named), declared, “The Chrisitan Right has introduced 200 anti-LGBT bills in the last six months and people blaming Islam for this. No.” And a couple of footnotes: First, don’t buy any of the “lone wolf” rhetoric — Islamic terrorist assailants worldwide are tied to one ideology: Islam. Second, it is worth noting that an Islamist imam, who preached that it was merciful to murder homosexuals, came to Orlando in April of this year. And a final note on Obama’s constituents — Mateen was a registered Democrat voter. Our prayers are with the families of the dead and wounded.

Gaffney: Jihad in Orlando

by Frank Gaffney12 Jun 20161,266

SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER

At 2 a.m. this morning, a man who law enforcement sources have identified as Omar Mir Seddique Mateen, a U.S. citizen born of Afghan parents, opened fire with an automatic weapon in a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Before he was killed by police, he murdered at least 20 individuals and wounded dozens more. The death toll could rise further. The FBI reportedly suspects that the shooter may have “leanings towards radical Islamic terrorism.” Some accounts indicate that he was, like so many so-called “lone wolves,” actually a “known wolf” – a jihadist already identified as a potential threat by authorities, but allowed to continue to operate. Now that latitude appears to have translated into the murder and wounding of dozens of gay people, an action consistent with the teachings of the totalitarian Islamic supremacist doctrine known as sharia, which requires its adherents to hate and kill homosexuals. A posting last night at CounterJihad.com shows that the genesis of this practice is found in a hadith which has Muhammad saying that “whomever you find doing the actions of the people of Lot, kill the one doing it, and the one it is done to.” While the authorities of Islam disagree about what is the preferred way to kill gays and lesbians – throwing them off buildings, hanging them, burning them alive – there is no question but that murdering them is sanctioned by sharia. As it happens, in 2013, an Islamic supremacist named Sheikh Farrokh Sekaleshfar made this point in a speech at the Husseini Islamic Center in Sanford, Florida – about 20 miles from Orlando and two hours drive from Mateen’s home in Port St. Lucie. It is unclear at this writing whether the shooter was associated with this mosque or aware of this particular exhortation to kill homosexuals. But if indeed he was a sharia-adherent Muslim, there is no doubt that he was aware that his duty was to take homophobia to its murderous extreme. It is absolutely predictable that Muslim Brotherhood front organizations like the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) will shortly denounce this act of violence, insist that it has nothing to do with Islam, and lowball any ties the perpetrator may have had to one or more Orlando area mosques. Instead, they will try to deflect attention to those they accuse of “Islamophobia” for connecting the obvious – and ominous – dots. In fact, CAIR has scheduled a press conference on Tuesday at its headquarters in Washington for the purpose of defaming American patriots who oppose the Islamist agenda and those, like the Muslim Brotherhood with its pre-violent “civilization jihad,” who are enabling violent jihadists, here and elsewhere. The Islamic State and al Qaeda have both called for individual jihadists to use the month of Ramadan, which began on June 6th, to attack Americans in this country. This murderous act in Orlando may prove to have been inspired by such calls, or by Sheik Sekaleshfar, or simply by the tenets of sharia. We can only hope that – whatever its inspiration – Mateen’s is the last such act of jihad in America. But for there to be any chance that will be the case, we are going to have to stop importing more jihadists, designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization (the object of pending legislation sponsored by Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart), and shut down the Brotherhood’s mosques and front groups that are promoting sharia and the realization of its ultimate objective, which is – in the Brotherhood’s own words – “destroying Western civilization from within.” As former Department of Homeland Security whistleblower and best-selling author of See Something, Say Nothing Philip Haney points out, the jihadists won’t stop trying to kill us, homosexuals and straights alike, until we stop them. And that’s what we must be about now.

Deaths of Despair

by Hal Lindsey

Last week, the Centers for Disease Control issued a report on a growing phenomenon among white people in America — rising deaths from drug and alcohol abuse, diseases related to those addictions, and to suicide. The problem is so severe that it’s having a significant impact on average life expectancy. Anne Case, a Princeton University researcher, aptly called the phenomenon, “deaths of despair.” The study focused on whites, but it’s obvious that “deaths of despair” are rising among all ethnic groups. Since the report came out, journalists have been interviewing academics to find out what’s behind the phenomenon. The experts generally point to shrinking economic opportunity as the culprit. While economic distress can trigger such problems, it does not address the underlying issue. To find the answer, we have go back to age-old questions, and look at how twenty-first century Americans are answering them. In the first Star Trek movie, the character of Spock said, “Each of us, some time in our lives, turns to someone — a father, a brother, a god — and asks, ‘Why am I here? What was I meant to be?’” Government is ill-equipped to answer such questions. Though they often try, academia and the media also fail when confronted with these most basic questions of human existence. Their problem is that they have made materialism both their religion and their god. It leaves them with an empty, sterile universe. They see the cosmos as a remarkable accident that begat an even more remarkable series of accidents — eventually making the human race. And that’s it. The further they go in this direction, the greater the despair. In 1977, science fiction author Philip K. Dick said, “We are living in a computer-programmed reality.” That notion, still relatively obscure in the 70s, became the basis for the hit 1999 film, “The Matrix.” In 2003, Oxford Professor Nick Bostrom published a paper entitled, “Are You Living in A Computer Simulation?” His paper fired the imaginations of college students everywhere. Then, just a few days ago, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Motors, told Recode’s Code Conference, “There’s a one in billions chance that this is base reality.” In other words, this brilliant, highly influential man is virtually certain that all our lives are taking place within someone’s computer simulation. Do you see what’s happening? These “brilliant people” no longer believe in their own reality. The removal of the “being” from “the human” also happens in other ways. In 2011, Bruce Hood wrote the book, The Self Illusion: Why There is No ‘You’ Inside Your Head. He argues, along with Buddhists and a whole generation of neuroscientists, that “there is no real you” — that “self” is an illusion. Late in his life, Nobel Prize winning molecular biologist Francis Crick wrote, “‘You,’ your joys and your sorrows, your memories and your ambitions, your sense of personal identity and free will, are in fact no more than the behavior of a vast assembly of nerve cells and their associated molecules.” He said, in effect, that the things that make you uniquely you are not even real. You are a machine and you do as you’re programmed. Remember, these are not the random thoughts of the lunatic fringe. They represent the mainstream within academic circles. And their thinking forms the basis of our modern view of reality. Look at entertainment. It is permeated by a sense of meaninglessness. The only things that fully engage modern cinematic heroes are fear and rage. It’s as if they’re searching for something human somewhere inside — of themselves, and their audience. Secular humanism tries to turn human beings into gods, but it does the opposite. Instead of gods, we become nothing at all — bereft of value and purpose. The road that begins with denying God, ends in denying our own existence as free and real moral agents. Concepts such as meaning and hope wither in an environment without God. The first chapter of Romans talks about nature giving evidence of God to all people. Then it says, “When they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. … Even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind.” (Romans 1:21-22, 28 KJV) The equation for understanding reality begins with God. If we reject Him, we begin a journey that will take us terrible places of horrible emptiness — more desolate than we ever dreamed. It happens because we forget a simple Proverb. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” (Proverbs 1:7 NASB) Those who reject God wind up exchanging hope, meaning, and purpose for the bare, animal pursuit of survival. It leaves only despair, and that despair is killing people right now. The only hope is to wrap ourselves around the love of God and to receive Jesus Christ’s forgiveness through His shed blood for us on the cross. Receive His forgiveness and invite Him into your heart NOW. You can change your eternal destiny forever by doing that right now. For the first time you can begin to learn the certainty of God’s eternal life and reality as He progressively teaches you the truth.

Democrats heckle Ryan on House floor day after Orlando nightclub massacre

Published June 14, 2016 FoxNews.com

The debate over how to stop attacks like the terror massacre in Orlando erupted on the House floor late Monday as Democratic lawmakers loudly criticized House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and other GOP leaders for taking no action on the nation’s gun laws. The disruption underscored the political divide in the wake of the attack, with many Democrats looking to tighten gun laws in response and Republicans looking to crack down on the strain of radical Islam that seemingly motivated the shooter. The flare-up on the floor erupted when Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., attempted to ask Ryan when bills curbing gun use would be considered after the House paused for 16 seconds to honor those killed in the terror attack. Clyburn was going to note that Friday is the one-year anniversary of the Charleston, S.C. mass shooting. Before Clyburn could finish, Ryan ruled his question out of order and directed the House to move to the next vote. Some protested by leaving the House floor during a moment of silence honoring the victims, while other Democrats yelled "Where's the bill?" and "No leadership!" After the disruption, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi told reporters Democrats have "had enough" of moments of silence after mass shootings when Congress does not act to tighten gun laws. A handful of Democrats left the House floor during the moment of silence, including Connecticut Rep. Jim Himes. Himes said earlier Monday in an interview that he's done with the moments of silence typically held on the House floor after mass shootings, calling them "obnoxious expressions of smug incompetence." His district is close to Newtown, where a gunman killed 20 first-graders and six adults at an elementary school in 2012. Leaving the House chamber, Ryan, R-Wis., declined to comment on the exchange. But he had earlier issued a statement stressing that a “hateful ideology” – not guns – is to blame. "As we heal, we need to be clear-eyed about who did this,” Ryan said. “We are a nation at war with Islamist terrorists. Theirs is a repressive, hateful ideology that respects no borders. It is a threat to our people at home and abroad. Our security depends on our refusal to back down in the face of terror. We never will." Lawmakers and presidential candidates have pointed to a range of culprits in responding to the attack. Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has renewed his concerns about Muslim immigration, while presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton renewed her concerns about the proliferation of assault weapons and wants to ban them. President Obama has made a fresh argument for gun control in the wake of the shooting, but has also called it an act of terror and an act of hate – as the attack targeted a gay nightclub. Obama has not used the phrase “radical Islam,” though Clinton has since described that as a factor. Moments of silence in the House have a history of prompting outbursts on the floor. When a moment was held to honor victims of a deadly shooting rampage in San Bernardino, California, in December, several Democrats criticized it. "We need to stand up, speak up, and take actions rather than another moment of silence," said Rep. Robin Kelly, D-Ill., in a House floor speech at the time. "It is deafening, and it is killing us."

Tel Aviv Terror Attack Shatters Five Myths

The June 8 terrorist massacre in Tel Aviv exposed all five of the major myths that cloud discussions of Israel and the Palestinians. Myth #1: "The problem is the settlements" This was not a massacre of "settlers." The attack did not take place in some disputed territory. Nobody can claim that the victims "provoked" the violence by living in some predominantly Arab area. These were people drinking coffee in the heart of Tel Aviv. Myth #2: "It was a reaction to the occupation" The attackers are residents of the village of Yatta. The Israeli occupation of Yatta ended when Israeli troops withdrew from the territories where 98 percent of the Palestinians reside in late 1995. Yatta has been under the rule of the Palestinian Authority for nearly 21 years. Although Israel's critics continue to falsely claim that the Palestinians live under "Israeli occupation," the Israeli public knows better. The Israel Democracy Institute/Tel Aviv University monthly Peace Index survey for May 2016 found 71.7 percent of Israeli Jews say it is wrong to categorize Israel's status in the territories (it rules the areas where Jews reside) as "occupation." Myth #3: "The Palestinian Authority condemned the attack" The Palestinian Authority (PA) never calls such attacks "terrorism," and always brackets the attacks on Israelis together with Israeli actions against terrorists, thereby justifying the attacks on Israelis. Its response to the Tel Aviv massacre was no different. It declared: "We condemn violence and attacks against civilians on both sides, whatever the justification." The PA "not only condemned the attack in south Tel Aviv early on Monday morning, but also the recent Israel Defense Forces strikes on Gaza, and attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank and in Jerusalem," according to Israel's Channel 10 television network. Fatah, which is chaired by PA President Mahmoud Abbas, explicitly defended the massacre. According to the Palestinian news agency Ma'an, Fatah issued a statement calling the attack "a natural response" to Israeli actions. Fatah media committee head Munir al-Jaghoub explained, "Israel must realize the consequences of its persistence to push violence, house demolition policies, forced displacement of Palestinians, raids by Israeli settlers to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, and the cold-blooded killing of Palestinians at checkpoints." That's the equivalent of the Democratic Party defending the San Bernardino massacre of 2015. Imagine U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Fla.), head of the Democratic National Committee, saying the killings in southern California were the "consequences" of President Barack Obama sending drones to carry out the "cold-blooded killing" of al-Qaeda members. Myth #4: "Ordinary Palestinians are against terrorism" Israel Hayom reports that, "In Ramallah, Tulkarm, Qalqilya, Jenin, and other cities, people danced in the streets, set off fireworks, and handed out treats while praising the attacks." When the PA's schools, newspapers, television stations constantly praise terrorists as "heroes" and "martyrs," it is no wonder ordinary Palestinians have come to feel the same way. The cities where the celebrations took place would be the heart of a future Palestinian state. They are just a few miles down the road from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Can those who celebrate massacres be trusted with a sovereign, independent state next door to Israel Myth #5: "The major American news outlets are staffed by objective, professionally trained journalists; if their coverage of Israel is unflattering, that's because of Israel's own policies, not because of media bias" CNN's Twitter announcement of the attack put the word "terrorists" in quotation marks, stating, "Two 'terrorists' captured after Tel Aviv attack, Israeli police spokesman tweets." The Washington Post's correspondents in Israel, William Booth and Ruth Eglash, exhibited the same bias. They described the terrorists as "gunmen," "assailants," and "attackers"--but never as terrorists, and only indirectly as Palestinians. And the headline-writers at Washington Post headquarters came up with this gem: "4 Killed in Tel Aviv Market Shooting that Officials Labeled Terrorist Attack." Perhaps copies of the Washington Post should bear labels of their own: "Warning: The reporting in this newspaper may be hazardous to the truth. It is often slanted for the purpose of protecting the Palestinian cause against criticism." Originally published at JNS.org - reposted with permission

The Media Is Spinning A False Narrative

By Steve Berman | June 13, 2016, 08:39am

The false narrative emerging from the media seeks to make a few points, all of which are red herrings and straw men designed to take attention from the truth. The shooter, Omar Mateen, was homophobic because he hated gays. Mateen was unstable because he was mean and beat his wife Mateen had too much unfettered access to guns Mateen was not religiously motivated Story after story references these points, and they quote each other liberally (take the pun as you wish). Fox News and other media outlets reported comments by a coworker at security firm G4S who called him “toxic” and “unhinged.” The Times of London quoted CNN, about his first wife, “He was mentally unstable and mentally ill.” Anti-gun New York Daily News quoted NBC News, who spoke to Mateen’s father Seddique Matteen, who insisted the rampage had nothing to do with religion. The Washington Post also did a story on Seddique Mateen defending his son. “He had a child and a wife, and was very dignified, meaning he had respect for his parents,” Seddique Mateen wrote, standing in front of the flag of his apparent birthplace, Afghanistan. “I don’t know what caused him to shoot last night.” The shooter’s father has close connections with his native Afghanistan, and has traveled back there as recently as 2014, even interviewing Afghan President Ashraf Ghani in Kabul, according to the Washington Post. He made a series of Youtube videos praising the Taliban and railing against the U.S. The Boston Globe appears to be at a complete loss as to Mateen’s motive for the killings, because there’s no actual proof (besides the killer’s own words pledging allegiance is ISIS) he was tied to any jihadist causes. While Mateen claimed allegiance to Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, no evidence had emerged by late Sunday pointing to actual ties to terrorist groups or a significant association with jihadist causes. Yes, they actually wrote that. Apparently a confession isn’t evidence to them. We can either accept the media narrative, that some unknown complex mix of motives drove this mentally ill man to buy readily available assault weapons and kill people he simply hated for no reason, or we can apply Occam’s Razor–the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. The Quran teaches that homosexuality is wrong and punishable by death (not just “God himself will punish those involved in homosexuality. This, is not for the servants” of God, which Seddique Mateen said). In some Sharia-law Muslim countries, it actually is punished by death. Certainly ISIS punishes homosexuality by death. Many Muslim men are brought up and taught to beat their wives–that this is the correct way to administer discipline in the home. This kind of behavior is common in the Islamic world, where women are not valued as anything more than property. Mateen had a clean record, worked as a security guard, kept himself in excellent physical condition, and trained for his jihad. This was not a crime of opportunity, or of passion. It was a planned operation. The “mentally ill” narrative offers no hard evidence at this point. He bought weapons because, despite the FBI having investigated him, nothing of concern was noted that would prevent him from doing so. This is a failure of the intelligence and law enforcement system, not our Second Amendment rights. The attack was absolutely religiously motivated. You didn’t see Mateen attacking the Orlando Islamic Center, the mosque he attended, because he didn’t like the people there. You didn’t see the people with whom he worshipped calling the FBI or the local authorities to report Mateen acting weird or talking about killing people. The simplest explanation is that Mateen was a radicalized Muslim, who moved easily with other radicalized Muslims, some of whom are probably living their lives in Orlando. Only now would the FBI be interviewing those people and find connections. The press is weaving a false narrative to fashion a complex explanation for a simple problem. We have a cancer of radical Islam growing in America. Political correctness, the inability of our president to accept the problem because of his beliefs about Islam being a religion of peace, and impossible restrictions placed on federal, state and local law enforcement have made this crime possible. Our government is ignoring the cancer and it will continue to grow, as long as the country keeps buying the media’s spin.

In wake of Orlando, Hillary Clinton shifts on "radical Islam"

CLEVELAND -- In the wake of the mass shooting in Orlando and facing pressure from her Republican rival, Hillary Clinton said in a series of interviews on Monday that she would use the phrase "radical Islamism" to describe the threat that the United States must confront and defeat. However, she also dismissed the debate over semantics as a non-starter. "I think [Donald] Trump, as usual is obsessed with name calling," Clinton said in a phone interview with NBC. "From my perspective, it matters what we do, not what we say. It mattered that we got Bin Laden, not the name we called him." She continued: "We have to defeat radical jihadist terrorism and we will. And, to me, radical jihadist, radical Islamism, I think they mean the same thing. I'm happy to say either." Donald Trump and other Republicans, including former presidential candidates, have repeatedly attacked Clinton and President Barack Obama for refusing to use the words "radical Islam" or "radical Islamic terrorism" when referring to those who carry out terrorist attacks in the U.S. and Europe. Clinton has so far avoided using that language, and cautioned that it is unfair, and perhaps unsafe, to paint with "too broad a brush." "Islam itself is not our adversary," Clinton said in a speech on national security in November. "The obsession in some quarters with...repeating the specific words 'radical Islamic terrorism' is not just a distraction. It gives these criminals, these murderers, more standing than they deserve and it actually plays into their hands by alienating partners we need by our side." Later Monday morning, calling into MSNBC, Clinton again said "radical jihadist terrorism" is the "same" as "radical Islamism" while maintaining her position that Muslims, in general, are not the enemy. "We have to defeat radical jihadist terrorism, or radical Islamism, whatever you call it. It's the same," she said. "But we cannot demonize, demagogue or declare war on an entire religion." She said on CNN that American Muslims must be a part of the effort to stop terrorism. "We also want to reach out to the vast majority of American Muslims, and Muslims around this world, to help us defeat this threat, which is so evil and has got to be denounced by everyone, regardless of religion," she said. Trump, who also called into five different morning shows on Monday, took credit for Clinton's shift on Twitter. "I have been hitting Obama and Crooked Hillary hard on not using the term Radical Islamic Terror," he wrote. "Hillary just broke-said she would now use!"

The 'Religion Of Peace' Has Killed 2,230 People In The Last 30 Days - There Have Been 226 Terror Attacks In 32 Countries Including The U.S.

June 13, 2016 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

While information is coming out faster than we can keep up with about the Orlando massacre where up to 50 people were killed at the gay nightclub "Pulse," with another 50+ injured, where we see the killer Omar Mateen "swore allegiance to the leader of ISIS in a 911 call moments before the rampage at Pulse," as well as having previously been investigated by the FBI over "inflammatory" comments about radical Islamic propaganda," we see the MSM attempting to push an "anti-gay" agenda as the cause of the brutal massacre and Barack Obama once again dancing on the graves of the victims to push for more gun control, while refusing to even speak the words "radical Islamic terrorism." While ANP has published a follow-up on the Orlando shooting in an article titled "Insiders On ISIS Terror In America: 'It's Going To Get Way, Way Worse' - ISIS Plan To Attack 6 US Cities Leaked - 'It's Going To Be A Very Bloody Summer In America'," this article is going to focus on Islam itself, its teachings that homosexuality is a crime punishable by death, the massive amounts of attacks and deaths across the world in the name of Islam in June, the Islamic Holy Month of Terror, and why Barack Obama is ignoring the dangers of importing terrorists into America as he attempts to disarm Americans. WHAT OBAMA WON'T TELL YOU What Barrack Hussein Obama will not tell you is that at least 226 terror attacks have occurred over the last 30 days by Islamic Jihadists, in 32 different countries, including the U.S. after the Orlando massacre, where at least 2,230 people have been brutally slaughtered and over 2,224 people have been injured, by the so-called "religion of the peace." (Source and full list of attacks over the last 30 days) According to the list provided by the website "Religion of Peace" some of the more brutal radical Islamic attacks over the last 30 days include a A double suicide bombing outside a Shiite mosque in Syria which killed 20 people on June 11; Islamists spray machine-gun fired into a crowd of women and children trying to flee the caliphate, killing at least 30 in Iraq on June 10; ISIS members massacred at least thirty-seven villagers, including women and children in syria on June 10; A Sunni suicide bomber targets a commercial district in a Shiite area, killing 19 in Iraq on June 9; Dozens (43) of AU peacekeepers are massacred during an al-Shabaab suicide assault in Somalia on June 9; At least 25 defenders are killed during an ISIS assault on a small town in lybia on June 8; The Taliban stop vehicles along a highway and massacre a dozen occupants in Afghanistan on June 7; Eleven people are executed in front of their families for trying to flee the caliphate in Iraq on June 6; 65 civilians, including university students, are rounded up and executed by caliphate staff in Iraq on June 6; Two killed and 27 injured when Islamists target a church with rockets in Syria on June 5; Thirty-four Iraqis are killed by two Islamic State suicide bombers on June 4; A mass grave is discovered containing at least four hundred victims of ISIS executions on June 4; Ten women and a girl are among seventeen shredded by Shiite shrapnel at a market on June 3; Thirty-two defenders are slain during a massive Boko Haram assault on a small town on June 3; Nineteen Yazidi girls are put in cages and burned alive for refusing sex with caliphate members in Iraq on June 3. That is just a small sample of attacks in June 2016, the Islamic Holy Month of Terror. See all the Jihadist attacks, deaths and injuries at "Religion of Peace." OBAMA IGNORES ISLAMIC TERRORISM AND QUARAN TEACHINGS ABOUT KILLING GAYS While Obama attacks guns and claims "we need the strength and courage to change" our attitudes toward the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community, he makes no mention of the fact that Islamic terrorists are killing gays across the globe, he also doesn't mention that "they" need to change their attitudes, nor does he even acknowledge that the attack that happened in Orlando was a Islamic terrorist attack. Neither does Obama acknowledge that he waved a red flag in front of a bull when he once again used his position to push his "Proclamation" of June being "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender" month in the U.S., knowing that June is also the Islamic holy month of terror, Ramadan. We know Obama was aware of Ramadan as the White House website posted his "statement" on the occassion of Ramadan on June 5, 2016. What Obama understands but does not want Americans to understand is that there are multiple references to homosexuality in the Quran.... Islam as a religion considers homoosexuality as an offense punishable by death. This is also evidenced by statements made in April by an Imam in Orlando, where the brutal massacre just occured, , stating that homosexuals should be killed "out of compassion." By focusing on the LGBT agenda, diversity and gun control, Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton, are deliberately ignoring that guns do not shoot themselves, there is always a finger behind the trigger and that finger in the case of the Orlando massacre, was an Islamic extremists that swore allegiance to ISIS, a man taught by his own religion that homosexuality if a crime punishable by death. Via Heavy.com: Homosexuality is "illegal" under sharia law, and being accused of it is punishable by death. "Hudud" is a punishment mandated by god in the Quran. "Liwat" is charge of engaging in homosexual sex. The hudud for liwat in the Islamic State is being thrown from the top of a building and then stoned to death by the watching public. While Obama is busy trying to misdirect Americans from the fact that the Orlando shooter was of Afghanistan descent, as well as a radical ISIS supporter, we note that 99 percent of Afghans support Sharia law as the official law, with 51 percent of Muslims living in America today believe Sharia should be the law in the U.S. and 25 percent saying that violence against Americans is acceptable if they offend Islam. In another example of pathetic attempts to misdirect America, the ACLU is trying to blame "conservative Chsritians" for the fact that the Islamic religion believes homosexuals should be slaughtered. Really? Was it a Christian that walked into the Pulse nightclub and slaughtered 50 people? Was it conservative lawmakers that brutally massacred those 50 people? No, it was a member of the "religion of peace." BOTTOM LINE Sharia is derived from the religious precepts of Islam, particularly the Quran and the Hadith. The term sharia comes from the Arabic language term sharīʿah, which means a body of moral and religious law derived from religious prophecy, as opposed to human legislation. (Source) The fact is Sharia, which is derived from the teachings of the Quran, is incompatible with the U.S. constitution, specifically the First, Second, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. In the video below you will hear an Imam, described as an "Islamic Scholar," by the name of Abdullah Hakim Quick, where he states the "Islamic position" on homosexuality by answering "So I said: Put my name in the paper. The punishment is death. And we cannot change Islam" (Relevant portion at the 2:00 minute mark) That ladies and gentlemen is the bottom line, the fact that Barack Obama, the ACLU, Democrats, Liberals and Progressives absolutely refuse to admit.... Islam will not change. Until we have a leader willing to name the enemy, we will continue to see attacks on American soil, like the one on June 12 in Orlando, and the attack in San Bernardino California. In the meantime the LGBT community are so brainwashed, they are encouraging the importation of their own executioners.

5 Reasons to Question the Official Story of the Orlando Shooting

June 13, 2016 TOPICS: Brandon TurbevilleFBIISISOrlando Shooting

As more and more evidence emerges regarding the mass shooting in an Orlando gay club that resulted in the death of at least 52 people and many more injured, signs are increasingly pointing toward the possibility of a false flag operation. Already, a number of points lend credence to those who might suggest that intelligence agencies more so than desert-dwelling terrorist organizations are responsible for organizing and directing the attacks. A number of questionable aspects regarding this shooting include: The FBI knew about the shooter and investigated him prior to the attack. The shooter had a connection to a known ISIS recruiter. The shooter’s father was a former “Afghan presidential candidate” who supported the Taliban. The FBI’s history in creating terrorism. Omar Mir Seddique Mateen has now been revealed as the gunman in the Orlando club attack. According to mainstream reports, Mateen carried an AR-15 rifle and a handgun into the Pulse club around 2 a.m. and started shooting, killing 50 people and wounding 53. A stand-off ensued which lasted for about 3 hours before a SWAT team crashed into the building with an armored vehicle and killed Mateen. Mateen had allegedly pledged allegiance to ISIS before the shooting by calling 911 and stating allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi as well as mentioning the Tsarnaev brothers. Mateen was an American citizen born to Afghan parents from Port St. Lucie, Florida, about a 125 miles away from Orlando, a distance which he allegedly drove to commit the attack. FBI Foreknowledge, ISIS Sympathies, Taliban Ties What may at first sound like an instance of senseless violence, brings with it a number of other questions. For instance, the FBI was already well aware of Mateen and his connections to radical jihad and terrorism. According to CNN’s article, “50 Killed in Florida Nightclub, Shooter Pledged ISIS Allegiance,” two officials tell CNN that the FBI had investigated Mateen at some point for possibly having ties to or sympathizing with Islamic extremism. A law enforcement official said there were two cases opened involving Mateen but the probes didn’t result in enough evidence to charge him with anything. The investigations were reported by a number of mainstream media organizations and later confirmed by the FBI itself during a press conference. The FBI admitted that Mateen had been interviewed by agents twice in 2013 due to comments made about radical jihad which were overheard by coworkers. He was interviewed for a third time one year later due to his connection to Moner Mohammad Abu Salha, an American who had traveled from Florida to train in Syria and later to return to the United States in order to recruit other Americans to fight in the Western-backed terrorist brigades attempting to overthrow secular and legitimate government, Bashar Al Assad. Salha allegedly returned to Syria and blew himself up in a suicide bombing. It is also interesting to note that Mateen’s father Seddique Mateen is a political personality in his own right having hosted a TV show and apparently declared himself a presidential candidate for Afghanistan. Seddique has denounced the Pakistani government and expressed support and encouragement for the Taliban movement. Still, the question regarding the fact that Mateen was on the FBI’s radar is extremely important. One key aspect suggesting a false flag that should be looked for soon after the attack is any possible connection the suspect or group of suspects may have had with intelligence agencies. A connection to any one of these organizations and institutions may go some length in explaining how the attack was coordinated, the motivation of the perpetrators, the actual involvement (or not) of the suspects, and who actually directed the operation. For instance, on 9/11, many of the alleged hijackers had previously had close contact with the FBI, CIA, and other high-level intelligence agencies (both home and abroad). Likewise, the Tsarnaev brothers who have been accused of masterminding and carrying out the Boston Bombing had ties to the FBI before the attack. In many instances, connections to certain military agencies and communities should serve as the same red flag as connections to intelligence agencies since these institutions have largely been blended together. The FBI’s sordid history of organizing terrorist attacks Indeed, the FBI has had a long history in creating, organizing and facilitating terrorist attacks in order to bust them at the last minute and claim credit for stopping terror attacks. The FBI also has a long history of investigating, monitoring and interviewing suspects of high-profile terrorist attacks before those attacks were committed but doing nothing about them. As Tony Cartalucci writes in his article, “US Law Enforcement Knew Florida Shooter BEFORE Shooting,” A terror suspect armed to the teeth storming a public place and killing scores is actually a very familiar script. The FBI wrote several such scripts in 2015 alone, including entrapping and arresting a mentally-ill suspect after providing him with an arsenal of deadly weapons almost identical to the arsenal recently employed in Flordia. The Intercept would report in its article, “Another “Terror” Arrest; Another Mentally Ill Man, Armed by the FBI,” that: U.S. law enforcement officials announced another terror arrest on Monday, after arming a mentally ill man and then charging him with having guns. ABC News quoted a “senior federal official briefed on the arrest” as saying: “This is a very bad person arrested before he could do very bad things.” But in a sting reminiscent of so many others conducted by the FBI since 9/11, Alexander Ciccolo, 23, “aka Ali Al Amriki,” was apparently a mentally ill man who was doing nothing more than ranting about violent jihad and talking (admittedly in frightening ways) about launching attacks—until he met an FBI informant. At that point, he started making shopping lists for weapons. The Intercept would also reference the FBI’s affidavit (.pdf), stating (emphasis added): According to the affidavit, Ciccolo first talked to the FBI informant about attacking two bars and a police station. Later, he spoke of attacking a college campus with a homemade pressure-cooker bomb like the one used in the Boston Marathon terror attack; he also talked about using guns and a lot of ammo. Ciccolo, according to the affidavit, then “ordered the firearms from a confidential human source (“CHS”) working with the FBI.” The list of weapons provided to the mentally-ill suspect by the FBI informant is shocking. Revealed in the official FBI affidavit (.pdf), the weapons included a 9mm Glock 17, a 10mm Glock 20, a .223 Colt AR-15 rifle, (referred to by the media as an “assault rifle”), and a 556 Sig Arms SG550 rifle (also often referred to as an assault rifle). Also included in the affidavit is the same hysterical rhetoric encouraged by FBI informants now evident in the recent actions of terror suspect Omar Mateen in Florida. The FBI literally provided a mentally-ill man they helped plan a terrorist attack together with, an arsenal of deadly weapons – arresting him just before he committed his crime. The only factor that prevented the 2015 entrapment of Ciccolo from becoming a live Florida shooting-style attack was the fact that the FBI arrested Ciccolo before he carried out his planned attack – while those following Mateen did not arrest him. The role of the FBI in Mateen obtaining his weapons will never be known since Mateen is now – conveniently – dead. Even if he purchased them “legally” at a gun store, it should be noted that in other FBI entrapment cases, suspects were encouraged to purchase weapons themselves, with the FBI arresting them only after they left gun stores with their newly acquired arsenal. Interestingly enough, in the Ciccolo incident that Cartalucci refers to above, the plan which was fed to Ciccolo involved attacking bars, a target that was actually realized in Orlando. Of course, there will be many who will argue that the FBI, while entrapping unintelligent suspects, would never actually let the drill go live it is important to remember the 1993 World Trade Center bombing where that is precisely what the FBI did. Who Controls ISIS? Lastly, one immensely important question must be asked: If ISIS is responsible for the attacks, who controls ISIS? For many, claims that the attacker belongs to ISIS is a deal breaker. For these individuals, ISIS is a shadowy terrorist organization that supports itself and has created a caliphate in eastern Syria and western Iraq that can scarcely be defeated (except when the Russians bomb it). However, the facts do not support such a shallow understanding of the ISIS terrorist organization. ISIS was entirely created, funded and directed by the United States, Britain, France and other NATO countries. Its actions have been coordinated by the Anglo-American Intelligence apparatus for geopolitical purposes all across the world both at home and abroad. For this reason, the declaration that ISIS committed a terrorist attack in Paris is by no means a get-out-of-jail-free card for the Western Intelligence apparatus. Instead, it is the trademark of their handiwork. Please see these articles for more information on the nature of ISIS: here, here, here and here. Conclusion While the right-wing media blames Muslims and the left-wing media blame guns, perhaps it would be more effective if thinking individuals would examine the possibilities that this attack was a false flag incident designed to push an agenda that would benefit those in power in some way or other. Out of this attack we will no doubt see another push for the evisceration of the Second Amendment and other civil liberties as well as increased hype regarding ISIS as a threat to the American way of life and a greater attempt at justification for foreign adventures. While the information presented above may not be enough evidence to prove in the court of law that the Orlando attack was a false flag attack, it is reason enough to question the official story thus far. If this attack is indeed placed in the lap of ISIS, however, all fingers should immediately point to NATO and the Atlanticist Intelligence apparatus. It is they who control ISIS and they who bear the responsibility for its actions. If the attack is attributed to a lone jihadist nut the FBI has some serious explaining to do since it appears that the agency itself is the greatest initiator of terrorist activity inside American borders and is either the most incompetent anti-terror fighter in the U.S. or it is complicit in the attacks that take place.

Acceleration of Attacks against the Word of God & His People Causing Confusion, Doubt & Unbelief

By Doug Hagmann - June 14, 2016

All who are paying attention to current events will agree that true Christianity is under attack in America. The attack is not on the distilled ideological version of Christianity, but the Word of God and those who believe in the Word of God. We’ve seen this happen before in history, beginning with the deception that took place in the Garden of Eden. We’ve also seen this during the mid-19th century, during what is often called the “golden age of free thought,” when intellectuals, atheists and agnostics attacked the literal Word. In that case, the attacks were more easily identifiable, allowing Bible-believing Christians the ability to push back against the deception. In modernity and today, such attacks are often subtler, as the Word of God is not merely assailed, but perverted. The originator of such perversion has not changed, although the tactics of his foot soldiers have. The dilution of the Word of God, having taken on many forms, is insidiously being perpetuated from within the body of the church. Often, it is done under the guise of coexistence, compassion, and a seemingly harmless and even well-intentioned doctrine of inclusion. To those who are not grounded in the true Word of God will easily be led astray, convinced that they are following the true spirit of God’s Word. Such adherence is not merely a mistake of intellect, but a mortal wound to the soul. It is within this context where the real war against Christians and the Word of God exists. The perpetrators of perversion will use current events as the basis for attacking the fundamental beliefs of Christians. The demonization of Christians has already begun through subtle marginalization, including those self-proclaimed Christians who act as accusers of the brethren as they twist scripture to advance their own agenda. Rather than spreading the inerrant Word of God and bringing others to the Word, they spend their time tearing down those who do, thereby causing doubt, confusion and even unbelief. Others are falling victim to more refined attack mechanisms perpetuated by professional doctrinal “hit men.” Such perpetrators include the globalist Luciferian powers who are adept at using technology to “program” change within the population, but diverting the argument to the absurd. Examples include such assertions as the unfortunately misnamed “Mandela Effect,” a deception that has ensnared many into believing that the Word of God has not just been changed, but has changed – a distinction with a critical difference. Meanwhile, Christians are being slaughtered in wholesale numbers all across the Middle East; left unchecked and even being facilitated by nation-state actors, the persecution of true bible-believing Christians is accelerating and spreading. The planned endgame is the eradication of Christianity and Christians who refuse to worship at the altar of Globalism and a one-world religion where everyone worships the same god, but not the God of the Holy Bible. Time is incredibly short, Accordingly, we must identify the deception, clear the confusion and fight for the souls of the lost, for we were born for this time. It is up to us to make the difference. Regardless, the current attack we are witnessing is sustained and the fight is formidable, for it involves a clash of cultures led by infiltrators from within. The Word of God, as it was originally spoken and transcribed, is being perverted by many means. This perversion is on the rise and many are being victimized through this deception.

BREAKING. FBI Director Jamey Comey “Confused” About Motives Of Orlando Shooter (VIDEO)

Posted at 1:57 pm on June 13, 2016 by streiff

Just a few minutes ago, FBI Director James Comey gave a press conference on the Orlando shooting. To call it surreal is to mistake Salvador Dali for a portraitist. We first became aware of him in 2013, while he was working as a security guard at a local courthouse," Comey told reporters Monday. "He made inflammatory and contradictory statements about terrorism that raised concern with his coworkers, and claimed family connections to Al Qaeda." He continued: "He then said he was a member of Hezbollah, which is a Shiite terrorist organization that is ideologically opposed to Al Qaeda, a Sunni terrorist organization." ...Comey said the FBI's Miami office opened up a preliminary investigation into the shooter in 2013 that lasted 10 months. "We interviewed him twice, and he admitted to making statements about the terrorist organizations," Comey said. "But he said he did it in anger because he thought his coworkers were discriminating against him." The FBI's second investigation into Mateen "came about in an indirect way" in 2014, Comey said. The FBI's Miami office was investigating a Florida man who had blown himself up on behalf of Al Qaeda in Syria - an organization known as Jabhat al-Nusra. The office discovered he had attended the same mosque as Mateen, the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce. The FBI had kept confidential sources connected to the killer and tracked him since opening the investigation in 2013... "During his call to 911 he said he was doing this for the leader of ISIL, who he claimed allegiance to," Comey said. "But he also mentioned the Boston Marathon bombers, who were inspired by Al Qaeda, and Abu-Salha, who blew himself up for al Nusra." Comey noted that Nusra and ISIS are fighting each other in Syria. "There is no indication he was part of a plot from outside the US, and no indication of what group he supported," Comey said, noting that he demonstrated a "general support for radical Islamist groups." This seems pretty cut and dried, doesn't it. At some point someone should have gotten a clue that if the guy is talking about violent acts on behalf of Islamic terrorist groups over a multi-year period that it might be more than a passing fad. In fact, Comey says negotiators talked with Mateen three times while he was in the night club and he mentioned both suicide vests (this, is not a traditional Christian item of wear) and his allegiance to ISIS. But, no, said Comey: "There is confusion about his motives." If you still have confusion about his motives in the face of this body of evidence, well, I really question exactly what it would take, in the way of evidence, to convince you of anyone's motive or anything.

The End Of America?: 13 Catastrophic Events Which Could Soon Lead To An American Apocalypse

Posted on June 14, 2016 Written by Michael Snyder

Is the strongest and most powerful nation on the planet headed for an apocalypse which will bring it to its knees? We live in a world that is becoming increasingly unstable, and apocalyptic themes have become very common in books, movies, television shows and video games. It is almost as if there is an unconscious understanding on a societal level that something very big and very bad is coming, even if the vast majority of the population cannot specifically identify what that is going to be. Last week, the Global Challenges Foundation released a new report entitled “Global Catastrophic Risks 2016” in which they discussed various apocalyptic events that they believe could wipe out more than 10 percent of the population of our planet, and they warned that these types of events “are more likely than we intuitively think”… Sebastian Farquhar, director at the Global Priorities Project, told the Press Association: “There are some things that are on the horizon, things that probably won’t happen in any one year but could happen, which could completely reshape our world and do so in a really devastating and disastrous way. “History teaches us that many of these things are more likely than we intuitively think. Many of these risks are changing and growing as technologies change and grow and reshape our world. But there are also things we can do about the risks.” According to this new report, we are five times more likely to die from the various apocalyptic catastrophes that they analyzed than we are from a car accident. In this article, I want to discuss some of the most important threats that they analyzed, in addition to adding some of my own to the list. But first I want to mention that I do not believe that the Global Challenges Foundation is correct to identify climate change as one of the most significant catastrophic threats that humanity is facing. Our climate has always been changing, and I do believe that we will see wild climate shifts in the years ahead. However, human activity plays an exceedingly small role in all of this, and there is not very much that we can do to prevent what is going to happen either. Most of the climate change that we are going to see in our future is going to be as a result of other catastrophes in this list, so I have not included it as a separate item. With that being said, let’s quickly examine some of the potential threats identified by the Global Challenges Foundation… Don’t wait until food becomes scarce; start preparing for the future now by becoming as self-reliant as possible. Your long-term chances of survival could very well depend on your ability to feed yourself and your family without relying on someone else. Supervolcanoes In various locations around the globe, there are gigantic supervolcanoes which could dramatically change the course of human history in a single moment by erupting. In the United States, the Yellowstone supervolcano is becoming increasingly active, and a full-blown eruption could potentially be up to 2,000 times more powerful than the eruption of Mount St. Helens back in 1980. As I mentioned the other day, major metropolitan areas such as Salt Lake City and Denver would be essentially destroyed, food production in this country would be virtually wiped out, and a “volcanic winter” would cool global temperatures by up to 20 degrees for up to several years. Asteroids And Comets This is something that the Obama administration is actually quite concerned about. During his tenure, NASA has established a “Planetary Defense Coordination Office” that is in charge of tracking giant space rocks, and NASA is working to develop a method to destroy incoming asteroids using nuclear weapons. Scientists admit that they only know about a small fraction of the near-Earth objects that are actually out there, and we get hit “by surprise” all the time. If we were to get hit at just the right place by a very large object, like say just off the east coast of the United States, the consequences would almost be too horrible for words. Today, 39 percent of all Americans live in counties that directly border a shoreline, and most of those people are along the east coast. According to the University of California at Santa Cruz website, if a huge asteroid did slam into the Atlantic Ocean, it could potentially produce a 400 foot high tsunami that would sweep inland for many, many miles and kill millions upon millions of Americans in the process. Natural Pandemics The flu pandemic of 1918 killed approximately 50,000,000 people worldwide, and scientists assure us that it will happen again one day. Yes, we have come a long way in fighting disease, but as we learned during the recent Ebola outbreak, a really nasty virus can grip the entire world with fear in a very short period of time. Engineered Pandemics This is probably even a bigger threat than natural pandemics, because now we have the technology to genetically alter naturally occurring diseases and make them even stronger. Whether it is on purpose or by accident, it is only a matter of time before a genetically-modified superbug gets released into the general population, and when that day arrives it may make all previous pandemics look like a Sunday picnic. Artificial Intelligence Could someday entities that we have created turn on us and start killing us. Some might refer to this as “the Terminator scenario”, and it is becoming more realistic with each passing day as our technological capabilities continue to increase at an exponential rate. Geoengineering The human race now has the capability to purposely modify the weather, and this means that we also have the capability to do a tremendous amount of damage. Have you ever looked up and noticed long white trails criss-crossing the sky? This is being done on purpose, and when they spray chemicals into our atmosphere it could have some very severe long-term consequences that the authorities may not be anticipating. Nuclear War Back during the Cold War, most Americans would have probably named this as the number one catastrophic threat facing America, but these days most people tend to believe that “the Cold War” is over. So nobody has really objected while the U.S. strategic nuclear arsenal has been reduced by about 95 percent, and Barack Obama insists that he would like to reduce it even further. Meanwhile, both the Russians and the Chinese are rapidly modernizing their nuclear forces, and they both have developed hypersonic glide vehicles that can defeat any missile defense system that the U.S. can put up. Our relationship with Russia has already gone down the tubes, and our relationship with China is rapidly deteriorating. In fact, China just rejected a request for the USS John C. Stennis to make a routine port call at Hong Kong. Most Americans assume that a war with either one of them is impossible, but the truth is that we may find ourselves in a conflict with both of them at the same time eventually. The catastrophic threats above were ones that were mentioned in the report from the Global Challenges Foundation. Below are some additional items that I would like to add to the list… Islamic Terror It isn’t just ISIS that we need to be concerned about. Islamic terror is exploding all over the planet, and according to Wikipedia there have already been 95 such attacks globally so far in 2016. Up until now, they have been killing us with guns and bombs, but what happens when they inevitably get their hands on chemical, biological or nuclear weapons? Terror attacks using weapons of mass destruction could literally turn our society completely upside down virtually overnight, and it is only a matter of time until this starts happening. Power Grid Failure Someday you may wake up and discover that the power grid has totally failed. Just try to imagine a world without any lights, cell phones, computers, televisions, ATMs, heating and cooling systems, credit card readers, gas pumps, cash registers, refrigerators or hospital equipment. A massive electromagnetic pulse, either from the sun or as the result of a nuclear blast, could instantly plunge society back into the 1800s. The EMP Commission spent years studying this, and they told Congress back in 20o8 that up to 90 percent of the U.S. population could be dead within one year of such an event due to starvation, disease and the breakdown of society. So this is a threat that people better start taking seriously. RELATED : 4-STAR ADMIRAL: IRAN PREPPING EMP ATTACK ON AMERICA, OBAMA AND KERRY ARE HANDING THEM THE WEAPON Cyberwar World War III will not be fought like previous wars, and the Internet is one area where we are particularly vulnerable. The Chinese, the Russians and the North Koreans have all been working very hard to develop their cyberwarfare capabilities, and I was recently told by someone that has deep connections inside the U.S. intelligence community that our power grid could be taken down with just the push of a button. That is how easy it would be. With each passing year, we are all becoming more and more dependent on the Internet. So what would our lives be like if it was suddenly gone? That is something to think about. Economic Collapse If you want to watch society melt down right in front of your eyes, just take away all of the goodies. On The Economic Collapse Blog I have written more than a million words about the coming economic problems in this country. We got a very small taste of what is approaching in 2008 and 2009, and yet most people do not seem to have taken that warning seriously. Since that time, our long-term economic and financial problems have grown far more dire, and now the early chapters of a new economic crisis are unfolding right in front of our eyes, and yet still most people don’t seem to be alarmed. If you want to see how devastating an economic collapse can be on a nation, just pick up a history book and start reading about the Great Depression of the 1930s. Unfortunately, what we are heading for is going to be a whole lot worse than that. This video explains the steps one should take to prepare for an Economic Collapse Financial advice and preparedness Civil Unrest & Martial Law As the economy collapses and other things on this list start happening, people are going to be absolutely freaking out. A whole host of polls and surveys have shown that anger and frustration have been building up to unprecedented levels in this country, and at some point there is going to be a huge explosion. Desperate people do desperate things, and we got small previews of what is coming in Ferguson and in Baltimore. Violent crime rates are already rising in our major cities, and many among the elite are getting out while the getting is good. In fact,3,000 millionaires left the city of Chicago last year alone. Of course whenever civil unrest erupts, the government responds by trying to regain control, and eventually things are going to get so bad in this nation that we will start to see martial law imposed in various areas. We saw a little bit of this in Ferguson and in Baltimore, but that was nothing compared to what we will eventually experience. RELATED : Get the facts: “Martial Law and FEMA really will happen in 2016?” – FOX NEWS: OBAMA Will declare Martial Law in 2016 before elections (strong possibility) Catastrophic Earthquakes A historic earthquake along the New Madrid fault seismic zone, the Cascadia Subduction zone or any of the major faults in California could affect millions of lives, cause hundreds of billions of dollars in damage, and literally change the geography of our continent. Personally, I believe that those of us that are fortunate enough to live long enough will witness historic earthquakes in all of those areas, and scientists assure us that all three zones are way overdue for major seismic events. Even if just one of the catastrophic events that I have discussed above were to take place, it would completely change society. Unfortunately, I believe that we are entering an era of history in which a “perfect storm” that consists of a confluence of these catastrophic events will shake this nation to the core. So what do you think? Do you agree or disagree? Please feel free to add your voice to the discussion by posting a comment below…(source) Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. This is a good motto to live by, despite how you think about things. Individuals can still hope for the best (that things can and will eventually work out), but what good is your prosperity going to do if you don’t have anything to eat or a safe place to hang out for an extended period of time? Why not prepare while you still can — when things are readily available and can still be purchased at cheap prices? The coming hyper-inflation will make any such purchases beforehand look very intelligent… To prepare for the worst, you need a plan. Why are most people so against doing basic preparations that could be the difference on how they survive — or whether they survive? History shows time and again that those who prepare always fare better than those who did not. Having a plan and being determined to act on that plan will always be the best way to handle any contingencies, should they occur. After disaster strikes, your mind is going to be racing around like a car on a race track. Preplanning and having a written set of measures to take will make someone’s life go much smoother when the SHTF.

American-born children of immigrants proving fruitful recruiting ground for jihad in U.S.

By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Monday, June 13, 2016

While immigrants draw much of the attention, it’s their children who are proving to be the most fruitful recruiting ground for radical jihad in the U.S., accounting for at least half of the deadly attacks over the past decade. The latest instance of the second-generation terrorist syndrome played out in Orlando, Florida, over the weekend when Omar Mateen, son of immigrants from Afghanistan, went on a jihad-inspired rampage, killing 49 people and wounding 53 others in the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. Authorities said Mateen had flirted with other terrorist groups but declared his allegiance to the Islamic State on Sunday morning as he began his horrific spree. He follows in the footsteps of Syed Rizwan Farook, one of the San Bernardino, California, terrorists who was the son of Pakistanis; Nadir Soofi, one of two men who attacked a drawing competition in Garland, Texas, last year and whose father was from Pakistan; and then-Maj. Nidal Hassan, the child of Palestinian immigrants whose shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009 set off the modern round of deadly lone-wolf attacks. In other cases, attackers were immigrants brought to the U.S. as young children. They grew up in the U.S. but were besieged by etc. and the news story continues..

Pictured: Islamist reveals he was answering ISIS call for lone wolf attacks in Facebook video after slaughtering French police officer and his wife in front of their child

Jean-Baptiste Salvaing and Jessica Schneider killed at home near Paris

Larossi Abballa, 25, live streamed part of the attack on Facebook Live

Police shot Abballa and found the couple's three-year-old boy alive

Hit list of 'rappers, journalists, police and public figures' on his computer

Three other people, with links to Abballa, were arrested on Tuesday

By Peter Allen In Paris and Chris Summers and Julian Robinson for MailOnline Published: 17:06 EST, 13 June 2016 | Updated: 02:15 EST, 15 June 2016

An ISIS militant murdered a police commander and his wife at their home near Paris before being shot dead by officers who rescued the couple's three-year-old boy unharmed. After killing the couple Larossi Abballa, 25, recorded a 12 minute monologue to camera while in the couple's house in Magnanville and posted the video on Facebook Live. In the video, Abballa says: 'We will come and find you the way I have found this policemen at his house.' He also hinted at an ISIS attack on the Euro 2016 football tournament, saying: ‘We're keeping another surprise for the Euros but I won’t say anything more.' And, chillingly, he also hinted that the son of his victims was also in danger, saying: 'I don't know what I'm going to do with the boy.' He continued: '(President) Hollande you are ruthless but we are also heartless…I was ruthless just now towards this policeman and his wife.’ Police later raided Abballa's home and found a hit list on his computer which contained six names. Prosecutor Francois Molins said they included 'rappers, journalists, police officers and public personalities'. During Abballa's video diatribe he expressed particular hatred for journalists Bernard de La Villardière, Audrey Pulvar, Mohamed Sifaoui and Lea Salame, political scientist Gilles Kepel and rapper Booba. Booba is of Senegalese Muslim origin and was, ironically, accused of anti-Semitism in 2014 for the lyrics of a song which appeared to praise Mohammed Merah, a lone wolf who killed seven people, including a rabbi and three Jewish children in Toulouse in 2012. Abballa called on Muslims to kill journalists and police officers and added: ‘Target their fear.’ He stabbed Jean-Baptiste Salvaing, 42, nine times in the stomach at his home in the Yvelines department, north west of Paris, shortly after 8.30pm on Monday. After a three-hour stand-off elite Raid commandos entered the building, where they killed Abballa. Inside the house, they found the lifeless body of Mr Salvaing's wife, Jessica Schneider, who was an administrator who worked for the police force in Mantes-la-Jolie. The only survivor was the couple's three-year-old son, who was 'extremely shocked but otherwise unharmed'. The couple's young son was 'in shock but unharmed,' a prosecutor added, saying he was receiving medical attention. Mr Molins said Abballa pledged his allegiance to ISIS three weeks ago and appeared to be following a recent order from ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi 'to kill miscreants at home with their families' during Ramadan. Three men - 'linked to' Abballa - were arrested on Tuesday morning. They were described as 'acquaintances' and are aged 27, 29 and 44. It also emerged today the knifeman was part of a recent investigation into a Syrian jihadist network. French security expert David Thomson said Abballa posted gruesome images of the murdered couple on the internet. A 12-minute video and 15 photographs appeared on Abballa's Facebook page, along with his justifications for what he had done. Abballa's Facebook profile, under the name Mohamed Ali, was suspended in the early hours of this morning. Mr Thomson told a Paris radio station that at one point Abballa could be seen sitting on the sofa with the child behind him. Abballa wrote: 'I still don't know what I'm going to do with him.' One of his most recent Facebook posts was a mock-up of the European Championship logo, which he claimed contained masonic and occult symbols. Abballa was born in Mantes-la-Jolie, a suburb close to the scene of the killings. He had criminal convictions for theft and violence dating back to 2011. Abballa earned a living as a restaurant delivery man and used the moniker Doctor Food. Mr Thomson said he frequently used social media to call for the murders of police, prison officers and journalists, often by name. Abballa had also been sentenced in 2013 for taking part in a jihadist organisation with links to Pakistan. He was sentenced to three years behind bars, six months of which were suspended for 'criminal association with the aim of preparing terrorist acts' following a trial with seven other defendants. Despite this, he only spent a few months in prison, and is thought to have maintained his links with a group sending jihadists to fight in Afghanistan. It has also been revealed Abballa had previously claimed allegiance to ISIS and sources say he did so again while talking to officers during the siege. The terror group's al-Amaq news agency said the attacker was an 'Islamic State fighter' and claimed responsibility for the killings. Witnesses told investigators the man may have shouted 'Allahu akbar' (God is greatest) as he stabbed the policeman repeatedly. President Francois Hollande held a top-level security meeting to discuss the 'appalling terrorist act' which took place as France was on high alert for the Euro 2016 football championships. He said: 'France is not the only country concerned as we have seen, again, in the United States, in Orlando.' Mr Salvaing was an assistant chief with the judicial police at nearby Les Mureaux. The French police have set up an online book of condolences for Mr Salvaing and Ms Schneider. The killing came a day after a gunman claiming to be acting in the name of ISIS shot dead 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, in the worst mass shooting in US history. Yves Lefebvre of police union Unite SGP Police-FO said: 'Today every police officer is a target.' He said terrorists were getting more 'professional' and were able to track down police officers to their homes. The bloodshed also comes as France hosts the Euro 2016 football tournament under tight security, still reeling from jihadist attacks in Paris last November that left 130 people dead. Loud detonations were heard at the scene as RAID officers moved in following failed negotiations with the attacker. Officers found the woman's body when they stormed the building, and the attacker was killed during the assault. Mr Molins said inside the house police found three mobile phones and three knives, including one which was covered in blood. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve expressed his 'infinite sadness' at the death of the police commander and his partner, who had worked for his ministry. 'The attacker was neutralised by RAID forces, who showed great composure and great professionalism and who saved the couple's little boy,' Cazeneuve said in a statement. 'The inquiry opened by the justice authorities will establish the precise circumstances of this tragedy.' Police sources said earlier in the evening that the attacker had taken the policeman's partner, who worked as a police secretary, and son hostage after stabbing the officer to death as he returned home around 9pm. All light will be shed on the circumstances of this terrible tragedy President Francois Hollande Residents were evacuated from the neighbourhood as police moved in. RAID officers 'arrived rapidly on the scene. Negotiations were launched and an assault plan was put in place,' said Brandet. But the negotiations were 'unsuccessful' and authorities decided to launch an assault around midnight, he added. A helicopter was on the ground a few hundred metres away from the scene of the attack, while several fire trucks and ambulances were seen leaving the security perimeter. President Hollande said in a statement that he 'strongly condemned this odious act'. 'A police commander and his partner, a civil servant at the interior ministry, were shamefully murdered this evening,' Hollande said. 'All light will be shed on the circumstances of this terrible tragedy,' he added.

Klyuchevskoy erupts sending ash up to 6 km, Russia

Posted by TW on June 14, 2016 in categories Featured articles, Volcanoes

Russia's Klyuchevskoy volcano erupted late June 13, 2016, sending a column of smoke and ash high into the sky. At 22:09 UTC, a plume of ash reached an altitude of 5 - 6 km (16 400 - 19 680 feet) above sea level. At of 21:29 UTC, ash plume extended 47 km (29 miles) to the west, KVERT reported. Aviation Color Code remains on Orange since April 24, 2016. The explosive eruption of the volcano continues and ash explosions up to 6 to 8 km (19 700 to 26 240 feet) a.s.l. could occur at any time, KVERT said. Ongoing activity could affect international and low-flying aircraft. Klyuchevskoy has been almost continuously active over the past 50 years. This latest phase of strong strombolian activity started at 11:25 UTC on April 3, 2016, when a bright incandescence was observed at the summit crater. Around 13:40 UTC on April 23, strong explosions at the volcano sent ash up to 9 km (29 527 feet) above sea level. Geological summary Klyuchevskoy (also spelled Kliuchevskoi) is Kamchatka's highest and most active volcano. Since its origin about 6000 years ago, the beautifully symmetrical, 4835-m-high basaltic stratovolcano has produced frequent moderate-volume explosive and effusive eruptions without major periods of inactivity. It rises above a saddle NE of sharp-peaked Kamen volcano and lies SE of the broad Ushkovsky massif. More than 100 flank eruptions have occurred during the past roughly 3000 years, with most lateral craters and cones occurring along radial fissures between the unconfined NE-to-SE flanks of the conical volcano between 500 m and 3600 m elevation. The morphology of the 700-m-wide summit crater has been frequently modified by historical eruptions, which have been recorded since the late-17th century. Historical eruptions have originated primarily from the summit crater, but have also included numerous major explosive and effusive eruptions from flank craters.

It is with a heavy heart that break this tragic news of another doctor death. This time it is a prominent holistic doctor who practiced in Long Island, New York. His website video actually calls him a “leading physician of the world” and his patients are posting on my Facebook page (and sending emails) that they don’t believe it was suicide. Dr Alex Shvartsman, was a well known holistic dentist AND an ND (a Naturopathic Doctor). He was found dead this past weekend at his home and allegedly took his own life. It’s not unusual for many in this sad, unintended series to have multiple degrees as a doctor. This well loved doctor was a dentist and an ND, while others were MDs and PhDs or DCs with PhDs, and so on. Dr Schvartsman’s patients who have written are still in disbelief. His staff also sounded as if they were still in shock, but I didn’t ask them to elaborate on the matter. Our heart goes out to his friends and family. Multiple biographies list him as having a wife and young child (his patients confirm he had been married with a son). We will withhold those names from this article. Besides being an ND, Dr Schvartsman practiced mercury and drill free dentistry (we can’t even find a dentist in Florida who does drill free). We’ll update you as more details unfold, but suggest you read the recap and full timeline on all forty plus deaths in the Unintended Holistic Doctor Series. Among the dead is one other holistic dentist (we don’t believe he was an ND though) who was found dead on the side of the road; he was in his early 40s and in amazing shape. His close friend/patient/ fraternity brother reports he ate extremely healthfully and it just didn’t add up. Of course countless other deaths don’t add up either and there are multiple families of these prominent holistic doctors (several others in New York, as well) who have either questioned the death of their loved ones publicly, hired private investigators (with more hiring firms every month), or questioned the deaths privately- and we respect their privacy. Again, I will keep you updated and wish for all holistic doctors (including my better half of 7 years) to stay safe. You can sign up for my newsletter to keep updated on these stories. You can read the doctor’s bio and see his website here.

Russia Is Reportedly Set To Release Clinton's Intercepted Emails

Jun 13, 2016, 2:37 PM

Reliable intelligence sources in the West have indicated that warnings had been received that the Russian Government could in the near future release the text of email messages intercepted from U.S. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail server from the time she was U.S. Secretary of State. The release would, the messaging indicated, prove that Secretary Clinton had, in fact, laid open U.S. secrets to foreign interception by putting highly-classified Government reports onto a private server in violation of U.S. law, and that, as suspected, the server had been targeted and hacked by foreign intelligence services. The reports indicated that the decision as to whether to reveal the intercepts would be made by Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin, and it was possible that the release would, if made, be through a third party, such as Wikileaks. The apparent message from Moscow, through the intelligence community, seemed to indicate frustration with the pace of the official U.S. Department of Justice investigation into the so-called server scandal, which seemed to offer prima facie evidence that U.S. law had been violated by Mrs Clinton’s decision to use a private server through which to conduct official and often highly-secret communications during her time as Secretary of State. U.S. sources indicated that the extensive Deptartment of Justice probe was more focused on the possibility that the private server was used to protect messaging in which Secretary Clinton allegedly discussed quid pro quo transactions with private donors to the Clinton Foundation in exchange for influence on U.S. policy. The Russian possession of the intercepts, however, was designed also to show that, apart from violating U.S. law in the fundamental handling of classified documents (which Sec. Clinton had alleged was no worse than the mishandling of a few documents by CIA Director David Petraeus or Clinton’s National Security Advisor Sandy Berger), the traffic included highly-classified materials which had their classification headers stripped. Russian (and other) sources had indicated frustration with the pace of the Justice Dept. probe, and its avoidance of the national security aspects of intelligence handling. This meant that the topic would be suppressed by the U.S. Barack Obama Administration so that it would not be a factor in the current U.S. Presidential election campaign, in which President Obama had endorsed Mrs Clinton. Moscow’s discreet messaging about a possible leak of the traffic, in time to impact the U.S. elections, was designed to pressure faster U.S. legal action on the matter, but was largely due to Russian concerns about possible U.S. strategic policy in the event of a Hillary Clinton presidency. Apart from the breach of U.S. Federal law in the handling of classified material, the Clinton private server was, according to GIS/Defense & Foreign Affairs analysts, always likely to have been a primary target for foreign cyber warfare interception operations, particularly those of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Russia, and North Korea (DPRK), but probably also by others, including Iran.

Thousands of red tuna crabs wash up on Mission Beach, San Diego

By Strange Sounds - Jun 13, 2016

Thousands of red tuna crabs washed ashore on June 7, 2016 in Mission Beach, San Diego, California. Visitors in the area around the South Shores Park Boat Launch found beaches covered with the crabs. Red tuna crasbs are typically found off the coast of Baja California, however, El Nino weather patterns have pushed them north and onto Southern Californian beaches. Last month, millions of crabs also washed ashore in Ensenada, Mexico, on Del Monte Beach in Monterey, California and Imperial Beach.

Watchman Warning: Soft Target

By Hal Lindsey

Security analysts see all gatherings of people as potential terrorist targets. Generally, they divide them into two categories“hard targets” and “soft targets.” Hard targets are well guarded and soft targets have little or no defense. In light of the Orlando terror attack, we might expect government officials to look for ways to turn more soft targets into hard ones. But just the opposite is happening. Almost immediately following the attack, the politics of gun control began to drive much of the discussion. Gun control advocates want to diminish our ability to defend ourselves. They want to turn us — along with our places of work, of worship, and our homes — into soft targets. Under present law, a terrorist would be crazy to use guns in an assault on a conservative, evangelical church in Texas. That’s because a significant number of conservative evangelicals have chosen to take advantage of that state’s right to carry laws. Even in a small Texas church, there’s a good chance someone will be packing heat. It would be almost impossible for one terrorist to shoot over a hundred people, killing almost half — if some of those people were shooting back. Someone might argue that Jesus was against violence, but a closer look at scripture tells a more nuanced story. In Luke 9, Jesus sent some of His disciples on a short missionary journey. He “sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to perform healing. And He said to them, ‘Take nothing for your journey, neither a staff, nor a bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not even have two tunics apiece.’” (Luke 9:2-3 NASB) He did this to show them, and all who would follow, that God is our Source — not money or reserves of food. He provides for our needs. The instructions Jesus gave illustrated that even when He would no longer be physically present, His followers would never be “on their own.” God always watches over us. In Luke 22, not long before His crucifixion, Jesus reminded His disciples of that experience. He wanted them to draw on that memory so that they would always see God as their Provider. But as they were about to set out on missionary journeys that would transform the world, He told them to take some things with them, including money. That fits with what they had seen Him do. During the three years of Jesus’ ministry, the group had a treasurer and a moneybag. That would be the normal way of doing things. “He said to them, ‘When I sent you out without purse and bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?’ And they said, ‘No, nothing.’ And He said to them, ‘But now, let him who has a purse take it along, likewise also a bag, and let him who has no sword sell his robe and buy one.’” (Luke 22:35-36 NASB) Jesus did not advocate violence, but He told them to take a sword on their journeys. He said if they didn’t have a sword, they should sell something as essential as a robe in order to buy one. Self-defense is implicit in this instruction. There are no limits on God’s ability. He can just do things for us. After Philip baptized the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8, it says, “the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch saw him no more, but went on his way rejoicing. But Philip found himself at Azotus.” (Acts 8:39-40 NASB That was a transportation miracle. But in every other case we know of, the disciples of Jesus went place to place in a very natural, human way. They walked. God has the ability to snatch us up and take us where He wants, but His usual method is to let us do the things we can. God uses even our most basic abilities, like walking. He wants us to participate where we can —including in our own protection. A new editorial in Rolling Stone magazine argues that we should not be allowed that right. On June 13th, they ran an editorial calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment. Apparently the United Nations agrees. U.N. human rights commissioner Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein asked, “How many more mass killings of school-children, of co-workers, of African-American churchgoers, how many more individual shootings of talented musicians like Christina Grimmie, or politicians like Gabrielle Giffords, will it take before the United States adopts robust gun regulation?” But here’s the problem. If we must depend only on police and other government agencies to defend us, then almost everything and everyone will be a soft target. NFL football games won’t be, but your kid’s soccer game will. Hollywood studios will remain hard targets, but the local multiplex will be a soft target — as will your local grocery store, school, church, and park. But if people who pass a certain level of screening and testing are allowed the means to defend themselves, they will also defend the people around them — hardening targets everywhere. In all of this, we have to remember that God remains the ultimate defense. We may water the garden, but only God can make vegetables grow. It’s the same with defense. Psalms 33 says, “The king is not saved by a mighty army; A warrior is not delivered by great strength. A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength. Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope for His lovingkindness, To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.” (Psalms 33:16-20 NASB) While those words give me comfort as an individual, they give me grave concern for my country. The United States of America has the strongest, most powerful military in the history of the world by far. But that alone is not enough. If we as a nation do not turn to God for deliverance, the United States itself will soon become a “soft target.”

The chattering classes are disturbed that Trump questioned Obama’s loyalties in the fight against jihad, but does he have a point?

June 16, 2016, 12:00 pm

It’s instructive, but certainly not surprising, that in the wake of the deadliest terror attack on American soil since 9/11 President Obama’s reaction was to reach for gun control as a solution. Put another way, in the face of evidence that the global, ISIS-inspired jihad has penetrated the federal government’s security apparatus and demonstrated the FBI, CIA, and local law enforcement cannot stop “known wolf” jihadists from committing mass murder in the name of Allah, this president’s reaction was to act to disarm the public to the threat. That there will be no passage of new gun control legislation and the president is well aware of this fact didn’t appear to dissuade him at all. That similarly, to parrot previous babblings about gun control in the face of what clearly was a jihadist attack serves almost exclusively to divide the country at a time common sense and propriety demands it be brought together certainly didn’t faze him. Following Obama’s reactions, the presumptive Republican nominee for president Donald Trump dropped a rhetorical bomb on the incumbent. Appearing via phone on Fox and Friends Monday morning, he said, “[Obama] doesn’t get it, or he gets it better than anybody understands. It’s one or the other. And either one is unacceptable.” Which is a pointed way of phrasing the question lots of people have been troubled by; namely, is the president’s complete failure to keep the country safe from jihadist terrorists and seeming uninterest in doing so rooted in incompetence — or something else? We’ll leave aside the question whether it’s politically smart or befitting a presidential candidate to take so pronounced a swing, and stick to the obvious — Trump got under Obama’s skin. The president delivered a five-minute vituperative rant on live TV, accusing the Republican candidate of “yappin’” and said it was “dangerous” for Trump to exhibit “sloppiness” and “loose talk” such as his proposal to have a hiatus on Muslim entry into the United States and asking “Do Republican officials actually agree with this?” Trump then tweeted a link to a Breitbart article which made the claim that Obama, and his first-term Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who is the Donald’s opponent in November, had fueled the development of ISIS by setting up a training program for Syrian rebels opposed to its dictator Bashar Assad. A CBS poll showed that by a two-to-one ratio (51-25), the public didn’t approve of Trump’s approach, but clearly Trump is the one driving the discussion and, to the extent any of this can be enjoyable, he’s the one having more fun with the narrative. But the question is whether he’s right. And as much as others on the Republican side might have strokes about what he’s saying, or call it counterproductive to ask as to Obama’s loyalties, Trump will at least have little trouble finding ammunition for his arguments. After all, why was a 25-year old Syrian immigrant who has said 9/11 changed the world for good recently appointed to Obama’s Homeland Security Advisory Council’s (HSAC) Subcommittee on Countering Violent Extremism? That program, by the way, is fraught with a level of wrong-headedness it would be hard to imagine coming from a president not named Obama. Essentially, at its heart is the concept that enlisting Muslim sharia advocates on our side to do rhetorical battle with ISIS will keep us safe. Daniel Greenfield accurately characterizes this stupidity: CVE tells us that the best way to fight violent extremists is with “non violent extremist” Salafi clergy who have the most influence on them. We’re supposed to fight the ISIS Caliphate with supporters of another kind of Caliphate. What it really comes down to is paying Muslims to argue with other Muslims on social media. And hope that the Muslims we’re paying to do the arguing are the good kind of extremists, like the Muslim Brotherhood, and not the bad kind of extremists, like ISIS. Even though they’re both vicious killers. Essentially, as Greenfield notes, Obama has outsourced our Muslim outreach to CAIR and the Saudis. Is it so insane to wonder whether the leader of this administration is more than just a bumbling idiot? Why has the Obama administration purged subject-matter experts like Phil Haney from government agencies tasked with counterterrorism for the sin of accurately describing the cultural and religious underpinnings of the jihadist movement and investigating potential jihadists accordingly? The Iran deal? The overthrow of the Qaddafi regime in Libya after it had tried to align itself with the U.S. and cooperated with us on fighting Al Qaeda? Backing the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt? Particularly given the perceived level of influence one of its operatives had as Clinton’s right-hand woman in the State Department. Refusing to aid Israel in its attempts to defend itself against jihadists? Everything about Jeh Johnson? We already know the results of this mishmash of counterintuitive policy ideas. America is less safe from jihadist terrorism now than it has ever been, America has fewer committed allies in the fight against jihad than ever, the American people have less confidence in the government’s ability to keep the peace (one of the most interesting outcomes of Orlando is the sudden uptick in firearms interest in the gay community), and the enemy is more emboldened than ever. Whether politically it’s a good idea to bring all of this to a head or not, is it really so wrong to ask whether there is a method behind eight years of policy drift on so crucially important an issue?

The Real Reason Satan Is Raging Against Christians Right Now

8:00AM EDT 6/15/2016 Michael Youssef

In my recent book, End Times and the Secret of the Mahdi: Unlocking the Mystery of Revelation and the Antichrist, I offer an action plan for living confidently in today's turbulent times. During the next several posts, I will draw from this book to examine current events in light of end-times prophecies. Today's post follows part one of the book The Revelation of Jesus Christ. God has used the book of Revelation as the capstone of the entire Bible. It reveals the ultimate fulfillment of prophecies going back to the beginning of Genesis. And through that, we can discover how to apply those insights to our lives today. Atheist philosophers tell us that human life is meaningless. But Revelation assures us that God cares greatly about our individual lives—and about the future of planet Earth. Although things seem to be spinning out of control, God has a triumphant conclusion planned. But are we ready? Are we ready today for that conclusion? Though Jesus could return at any time, the signs seem to be aligning for His return sooner rather than later. Every day, there is more terrible news from the Middle East — the very region where history began and where it will all end. Today, the nation of Israel, the holy land, seems all but isolated, including from its old ally, the United States. Today, more Christians are martyred than ever before. Today, the rapid and ruthless rise of ISIS has resulted in an actual state that controls large regions of Iraq and Syria, plus parts of Nigeria, Libya and Southeast Asia. The ISIS reign of terror crosses national borders, enforcing its rule with beheadings and mass slaughter. But although it is brutal, ISIS provides stability, and many who live under ISIS control welcome the stability of oppression. I'm not saying that ISIS is the precursor to the Antichrist. But as we look at the horror coming out of the Middle East, it is impossible not to compare those scenes with the Antichrist's reign of terror, as described in Daniel, Revelation and other prophetic passages of Scripture. Daniel tells us that during the time of the Antichrist "there will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then" (Dan. 12:1). But the signs go far beyond Middle East conflict and much closer to home. Today, the United States federal debt stands at $18.6 trillion, 74 percent of the GDP. And entitlement spending will soon explode the debt sky-high. Those who pay attention to the global debt crisis can easily envision the global economic collapse described in Revelation 18. Also today, we see U.S. government officials trampling our First Amendment rights in ways unthinkable a few years ago. Today, religious liberty is endangered as it takes a backseat to political correctness. Today, fundamental truths about gender and sexual behavior are cast aside by secular and religious authorities alike. Paul said in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 that in the church there would be a great "falling away" from the faith before the Day of the Lord. We already see a great "falling away" in the evangelical church. Many churches that once preached the pure gospel of Jesus Christ have defected. Why is all this happening now? The Bible doesn't tell us, but here's my opinion: I believe Satan is intensifying his actions against Christians because he senses that time is growing short. He is desperate to do as much damage as he can, to cause as much suffering as he can, to take as many souls with him as he can. Although the headlines are filled with evidence that society is on a collision course with the book of Revelation, don't be alarmed. God did not give us the book of Revelation to frighten us, or certainly to let us predict the future. God alone knows the future. But He did give us the book of Revelation to motivate and encourage us. Between the bookends of Genesis and Revelation, the Bible spans the history of the human race. Genesis tells the story of humanity's creation and fall. Revelation describes the redemption and eternal destiny of all believers. The book of Revelation is indispensable. If we did not have Revelation, we would have an incomplete picture of Jesus Christ and the Christian faith. The Old Testament presents a picture of Jesus, the promised Messiah. The Gospels present a picture of Jesus, the Teacher, Leader, Servant, the Crucified and Risen One. The Book of Acts gives us Jesus as the Ascended One. In the epistles, we see Jesus as Savior and Lord. But only in Revelation do we see Jesus fully glorified, King of kings, Lord of lords and Judge of all. In Revelation 1:8, the Lord says, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." But the Alpha-Omega statement also appears at the end of Revelation. In Revelation 22:13, the Lord says, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End." Jesus is saying: "I was here at the beginning, I am here now, and I will be here at the end. I was here at Creation, and I will be here when heaven and Earth are made new." Jesus is the King of Glory, worthy of honor and praise—the Lord of the beginning and the end. John, who was probably closest to Jesus of the Twelve, looked at the glorified Jesus and didn't say, "I saw my good friend Jesus." He said, "I saw someone like a Son of Man." Then he proceeded to describe the Lord's appearance. The Lord was "clothed with a garment down to the feet and with a golden sash wrapped around the chest. The hair on His head was white like wool, as white as snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire. His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters. He had in His right hand seven stars, and out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword. His appearance was like the sun shining brightly" (Rev. 1:13b-16). The sight of the glorified Jesus was so awesome that John "fell at his feet as though dead." Certainly we must long for the day when we will see Jesus fully magnified and ruling over all. But as readers of Revelation know, there will be a Great Tribulation too. But when will that happen? And will the Lord take His church out of the world before the Great Tribulation begins? Only God knows the answers. But let's not get sidetracked by minor details, because then we might miss the big picture. The "big picture" themes of the book of Revelation are: First, all who welcome Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior will be welcomed into heaven when He returns. Second, Jesus will return as He promised. Third, Jesus will sit in righteous judgment over all who have refused to accept Him as Lord and Savior during their earthly lives. Fourth, when Jesus appears, all who love Him will be with Him forever. Christians of good will may debate the details of this prophecy, but those four principles are beyond debate. So we must be ready. As Jesus tells us: Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him (Matt. 24:42-44). If we study the book of Revelation, it will not merely increase our knowledge. It will change our lives. Because of its life-changing truths, you and I can live each day with eternity in our hearts. Are we ready for the Lord's return? Michael Youssef, Ph.D., is the founder and president of Leading the Way with Dr. Michael Youssef, a worldwide ministry that leads the way for people living in spiritual darkness to discover the light of Christ through the creative use of media and on-the-ground ministry teams.

It's not guns, it's Islam

Thursday, June 16, 2016 Bryan Fischer - Guest Columnis

The Orlando massacre reveals one of the most profound differences between Islam and Christianity: Christianity wants homosexuals helped ... Islam wants them dead.

Bryan Fischer The Orlando massacre reveals one of the most profound differences between Islam and Christianity: Christianity wants homosexuals helped ... Islam wants them dead. President Obama, as I predicted, did not mention the phrase "Islamic terrorism" once in his brief remarks in the wake of the Muslim massacre at the homosexual nightclub in Orlando. And just as predictably, he blamed guns, even though there are 1.4 million Florida gun owners who did not commit mass murder over the weekend. If we step back, take a deep breath, and look at things objectively, there is no other conclusion we can draw other than that Islam is the problem. Islam has been the problem for Christian and Western civilization since 632 A.D., and there is no sign that the problem is getting better instead of worse. The issue is the very nature of the religion of Muhammad. The problem is not "radical Islam." The problem is Islam itself. The abiding command of Allah, found in Sura 9:5, is "Slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them." Muslims have been obeying this command religiously since the 7th century, and Omar Mateen was simply the latest in a long line of the devout to kill infidels in the name of their god. Islam has been the Ebola virus of culture since Satan's revelation to Muhammad in the cave. There is no known antidote other than the gospel of Jesus Christ. If a Muslim will not take the cure, then he remains a carrier of the virus, a virus which can remain dormant in most Muslims but then can spring to life almost without warning. When the Ebola epidemic erupted, sound immigration policy in the West blocked immigration from Ebola-ravaged countries. We knew we were blocking immigration to many who were not carriers and represented no threat to public health. But we had no way to identify the carriers from the non-carriers before it was too late. Rational public policy required us to be careful with them all. A rational, objective, logical, PC-free evaluation of Islam should lead us in the same direction. We can readily stipulate that most Muslims do not represent a jihadist threat to innocent Americans. But we simply have no way of distinguishing the Muslims who do not represent a lethal threat from the ones who do. Logic dictates that we must be careful with them all. Some voices are demanding we just stop allowing dangerous Muslims into the U.S., which of course is advice with which we all agree. But they can't tell us how to spot them. There is no Geiger-counter type wand TSA can wave over immigrants from Muslim majority countries which will alert us to the bad guys. Syrian refugees, according to the FBI itself, are impossible to vet, and President Obama is importing 100 of them every single day. Now of course Omar Mateen did not immigrate. But his parents did, from Afghanistan, a country in which 99% of immigrants believe in sharia law. Sharia law leads directly to homosexuals being thrown off eight-story buildings or gunned down in cold blood at nightspots. Omar himself, according to a classmate, celebrated the 9/11 attacks and attended a mosque which featured a guest imam in 2013 who quite explicitly called for the death of homosexuals in the name of Allah and in the name of compassion. In other words, Omar was a carrier. In order to protect our culture from the toxin of fundamentalist Islam and other Omar Mateens, many are rightly calling for severe restrictions on Muslim immigration, or the elimination of Muslim immigration altogether (my view). The Constitution gives to Congress unilateral authority to set parameters for immigration. Immigration to the United States is not a right; it is a privilege, which can be restricted in any way that is necessary to protect our safety and security. We do not need to bring Muslim refugees to the United States. There are 57 Muslim nations which follow "the religion of peace." This means, according to the left, there should be dozens of havens of Muslim tranquility, peace, and serenity around the globe where Muslims fleeing war should be able to find a home. Let's use the resources of America to help them find one of those Muslim havens. That way, we can both demonstrate compassion and protect America at the same time. The PC crowd faces a real dilemma, as its second most-favored group (Muslims) has now been graphically revealed to represent a lethal threat to its top most-favored group, homosexuals. (This incident, by the way, reveals one of the most profound differences between Islam and Christianity. Christianity wants homosexuals helped, Islam wants them dead.) Now the PC crowd certainly won't call for a suspension of Islamic immigration to protect Western civilization, America, or Christianity. But perhaps they can be persuaded to suspend Islamic immigration to protect homosexuals. Bottom line: Islam is the problem, immigration restriction is the cure. Let's hope we find the will to implement the cure before it's too late.

Was Voice Contestant Christina Grimmie Killed Because of Her Christian Faith?

By Leonardo Blair , Christian Post Reporter June 14, 2016|1:15 pm

Christina Grimmie poses at a media event for the television show "The Voice" in Universal City, California, April 15, 2014. image: http://graphic.christianpost.com/images/homepage11/enlarge4.png 

A new report circulating online says murdered singer and popular contestant on NBC's "The Voice," Christina Grimmie, might have been killed because of her Christian faith. According to the Santa Monica Observer, Orlando Police are investigating Grimmie's death as a hate crime after examining cell phone and computer records of her killer, Kevin James Loibl, 27. Loibl shot Grimmie on Friday night as she signed autographs after a concert in Orlando, Florida. The Observer did not specify the exact source of the information from the Orlando Police Department. In an email response to The Christian Post on Tuesday regarding the investigation into Grimmie's death, police department spokesperson Wanda Miglio said: "I have received no information about that rumor." On Tuesday morning, Orlando Police indicated in a tweet that they were still working on the case despite the tragedy at the popular gay nightclub Pulse that left 49 dead and more than 50 others injured. "Even w/the events in last few days, our detectives are still working #ChristinaGrimmie case," the tweet said.

Plan B Is Going Into Effect to Stop Trump Because the Elite Cannot Hide Clinton’s Criminality From the Masses

Dave Hodges

Christmas, my birthday and my wedding anniversary arrived on the same day. Information is pouring in about the abject and heinous criminality of Hillary Clinton faster than it can be fully reported. For 15 months, I have known that the Clinton Foundation had participatory ties to state sponsored terrorism, alliances with known enemies of the United States and it breaks every campaign finance law on the books. The Clinton Foundation and Uranium One Last year, I was alerted by an anonymous deep cover source that the New York Times was about to publish an article which implicated the Clinton Foundation for selling uranium to the Russian government in exchange for (1) a direct cash payment made by the Russian government to the Clinton Foundation in exchange for the raw nuclear material; and, (2) a direct payment to Bill Clinton for a speeches made in Moscow. Two weeks ago, I was instructed by my source as they thought it would help to create a headline that linked Clinton to the CIA/KGB which I did. I was told that this would help to potentially trigger complementary releases of information to what I had previously written about the Clinton Foundation. These new leaks which confirm what I have been saying since 2015 have begun to occur. After reading this article, most will have little difficulty linking the criminal foundation to espionage and treason. These links are occurring quietly and being shared among confidants. However, large chunks of information, supporting this notion are now appearing in public with large parts of the jigsaw puzzle on display. Hillary Clinton Bows to the Trump Challenge Hillary Clinton is coming under fire for a tweet last year in which she claimed Muslims have “nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism.” Considering the official narrative for 9/11 this is statement supportive of extreme Muslim terrorism on its face. However, in light of the Trump challenge to acknowledge extreme Muslim terrorism by Donald Trump following the Orlando massacre, Clinton has been forced to acknowledge the threat of “radical Islamism.” “I have clearly said we have terrorist enemies who use Islam to justify slaughtering innocent people,” Clinton said on NBC’s “Today” show this past Monday. The reason for the previous Clinton denial of terrorism being connected to radical applications of Islam will be clear in the next several paragraphs. Stunning Revelation by Former DHS Security Agent Retired Department of Homeland Security (DHS) security agent, Philip Haney, is reporting that the mosque that Omar Mateen attended several times every week is the exact same mosque protected by Hillary Clinton’s State Department Muslim protection policy after the Islamic terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California which was carried out by Syed Farook. Haney previously made the case that the mosque was an object of deep concern regarding radical terrorism. However, Haney’s work drew drew concern and criticism from Clinton’s State Department and the DHS’s Civil Rights and Liberties Office because “they believed it unfairly singled out Muslims”. Subsequently, Haney’s report was heavily edited and tossed onto the scrap heap of history. No action was taken to shut down the mosque as it should have been. From Political Insider:“As a member of one of the National Targeting Center’s advanced units, Haney helped develop a case in 2011 on a worldwide Islamic movement known as Tablighi Jamaat, as he recounts in his new book “See Something, Say Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government’s Submission to Jihad.” Within a few months, the case drew the “concern” of the State Department and the DHS’s Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Office because the Obama administration believed it unfairly singled out Muslims. The intelligence, however, had been used to connect members of the movement to several terrorist organizations and financing at the highest levels, including for Hamas and al-Qaida.” It is widely known that Mateen was the target of three separate FBI investigations. What has been learned and just released from Political Insider reveals the reason for the third investigation. Mateen was investigated for a thrid time because of his association with a fellow member of the Fort Pierce Mosque, a “22-year-old Moner Mohammad Abusalha, blew himself up in an attack in Syria in 2014 with an explosives-laden truck. The association of the Fort Pierce mosque to terrorism was no undeniable. Then why did the third investigation suddenly end with no action taken? WND wrote that “Haney reports that Obama’s FBI had Mateen on their radar at least twice, but both times the investigation was shut down. This means Hillary Clinton’s State Department is directly responsible for not flagging Mateen and getting Islamic terrorists off the streets. This is outrageous, and it should disqualify Hillary Clinton from being President of the Untied States”. The failure of the FBI to act up on Mateen can only be explained by the Clinton policy put into place to block all investigations in radical Muslim terrorism which Haney witnessed in person. More evidence, which comes from Fox, which supports the fact that enough evidence is known that Mateen’s ex-wife knew of his Orlando plans and she may have have even transported him to the site of the massacre. With the NSA and the Patriot Acts in tow, how did the FBI now know what Mateen was up to? They had to have known. It was very likely that both AG Loretta Lynch and the Clinton policy at the State Department of not investigating Muslims became the roadblocks to any investigation. Martial Law Is Locked and Cocked My colleague and friend, Paul Martin, of Revolution Radio.org, has proven through the years to have quality sources and one of his best sources has made a revelation to Paul that is very disturbing. As the subtitle indicates, Paul’s source has said that martial law is “locked and cocked”. And once martial law is instituted , he has been told that where you are when martial law is rolled out, is where you will stay. Make your travel plans accordingly. Also, martial law will not be called martial law, it will officially be referred to as continuity of government. What Could Bring About Martial Law? The need for the criminal elite to roll out martial law is predicated on their need to institute Plan B. Plan A was to have Hillary march into the White House and promptly sell this country down the proverbial river. However, so many people are learning about the totality of Clinton’s criminality, she will not be able to get elect by November, even with the help of massive voter fraud. Subsequently, the need for Plan B is quickly arriving. And what exactly is Plan B? As I have stated in previous articles, I learned by accident about a huge George Soros presence at the Republican Convention through the implantation of such groups as moveon.org and black live matter. Along these lines look at what is surfacing below. Conclusion Plan B is apparently going into effect. Hillary Clinton has too much to defend to get elected. By November, her rap sheet would be known to all, despite the MSM complicity to hide this information. Plan B puts America under martial law and Obama stays in Office. How much of this do I believe? I am ending all vacations this summer before the beginning of the Republican Convention.

Trump Unleashes 'Political Flamethrower' Upon Hillary Whose Campaign Is Being Financed By Terrorists! With 'Terrorist Enabling' Clinton Still Running For The Highest Office In The Land And Not In Prison, America Is 'Ripe For Revolution'

June 15, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

On Tuesday, Susan Duclos told us in a story on ANP that there are over 3,186 mosques and Islamic schools in the US and 75% of them are part of a 'jihad network' that has been made 'off limits' to US intelligence agencies and the FBI by both Hillary Clinton's State Department as well as the Obama administration. Susan warned us that 'Americans are in the bullseye' and most are totally clueless to the dangers that we face from the 'religion' of Islam. (We use the term 'religion' loosely in describing Islam...Islam is NOT A RELIGION...it is clearly a totalitarian political system.) Donald Trump has, thankfully, vowed to end Americans ignorance. Will he have the chance to do so before it's too late? Why is his opponent in the race not only enabling terrorism and the rise of ISIS but running a campaign that is being funded by 9/11 terrorists as excerpted below from this story from Zero Hedge and heard in the 2nd video below from Infowars? As we also hear from Gary Franchi and the Next News Network in the 1st video below, Trump has just unleashed a political flamethrower upon Hillary following Orlando. As a reminder, It is illegal in the United States for foreign countries to try to influence the outcome of elections by funding candidates. That appears not to have stopped the Saudis, however. Saudi Arabia always has sponsored both Republican and Democratic Party of America and in America current election also provide with full enthusiasm 20 percent of the cost of Hillary Clinton’s election even though some events in the country don’t have a positive look to support the king of a woman (sic) for presidency,” the report quoted Prince Mohammed as having said. According to the US Federal Election commission, over the past two years Clinton has raised a little more than $211.8 million. 20% of this sum is $42.4 million. The report was published (and then mysteriously deleted) on the eve of Prince Mohammed making an official visit to the United States. The Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday that the senior royal was due to fly to Washington where he will meet officials to discuss US-Saudi ties. As we also reported earlier today, the head of the FBI James Comey had recently warned that finding such murderers as Omar Mateen was like 'finding a needle in a nationwide haystack' though we strongly remind them that starting at mosques nationwide would be a very good starting point. The FBI certainly has no room what-so-ever to be 'politically correct' when American lives are on the line as they are now. How many more 'Orlando's' are in the works by those who want to slaughter us and are no longer being surveilled due to Clinton and Obama's 'political correctness'? This story, however, isn't to criticize our FBI nor intelligence agencies or law enforcement agencies but to go after those who have effectively 'shut down' our eyes and ears in the biggest breeding ground for terrorists across America; the mosques and Islamic schools nationwide that are harboring terrorists and preaching terror to their followers. For those who still believe that Islam is not the problem, we have to remind you of these indisputable facts.: Why would Hillary Clinton and Obama effectively open the door for ISIS to slaughter Americans? Why is our own president seemingly more angry at Donald Trump for pointing out facts than at the terrorist who shot up Orlando? More and more proof is emerging that Obama and Clinton are enabling the terrorists here to move around freely in America, and we have to point out here, Trump is absolutely correct! The mere fact that Hitlery's State Department nixed an investigation into the mosque of the Orlando coward and the DHS has ordered agents to scrub records of Muslims here in America with terror ties should be enough to make sure Hillary and other members of this administration are brought up on accessory to murder charges yet Hitlery still runs for the highest office of the land. If that in itself doesn't show how far America has fallen into pure evil, maybe nothing does. Maybe America really is 'ripe for revolution' in 2016 with war criminal and murderer Hillary Clinton attempting to hold on to power for the globalists who've been working dilligently for years to slay America. If all hell breaks loose this summer because of anger at the corrupted political system, don't say we didn't warn you of the building anger. So did former President John F. Kennedy who warned back on March 13, 1962: "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." However, those on the left who feel they have no choice but to revolt violently against a broken and corrupt political system exemplified by the fact that Hillary Clinton is still in the race and not in prison DO have a choice; all they need to do is look at the very real revolution that has already taken place on the right...an America 1st candidate has been selected by the Republicans against the will of the GOP establishment. Isn't it time that the left, particularly the anti-war left sick and tired of the endless wars of the Clinton/Bush/Obama regimes, and the LGBT community put at grave risk by the Obama/Clinton/globalist policies, jump aboard the Trump revolution even if it means having to deal with the reality of the threat and scourge of Islam? Anybody on the left who is reading this needs to learn these very real and indisputable facts: Islam is not your friend and wanting borders is not racism. One thing is for sure, the masses on the left agree with the masses on the right, none of us want Hillary Clinton in Washington DC in January of 2017. Only the politically clueless, globalists and war criminals are still supporting Hillary while she's squirming as she's publicly ripped to shreds in both the alternative and mainstream media for enabling these terrorist attacks upon America by turning a blind eye to the 'death cult' that is Islam. Will America explode this summer of 2016 in chaos and revolution or will the American people, left and right, PEACEFULLY come together to overcome after realizing that we all have been 'taken for a ride' by the globalists within both the Democratic and Republican parties who have been working against our Republic for many years? Many years a 'pacifist', I've personally long been against violence as a means to an end (unless it is absoutely necessary in self defense) as it brings nothing but very real pain. I still stand against it now whether it be violence taken by 'protesters' against our public servants, violence taken against Americans for their race, religion or political views, ISIS inflicting very real carnage on innocent people across the world or our govt or NATO or other nations involved in UNJUST wars around the world. As long as there is a 'political end' to the globalists attempt to overthrow America, we'd be wise to 'ride that Revolution' into the sunset while we still can. Nobody is going to make everybody happy but the facts outlined in the must-read Facebook post below videos prove to us that at one group of people won't be happy no matter what happens politically, short of Sharia law in America. The post below comes to us from the Facebook page of actor Kevin Sorbo along with his introduction. Please keep in mind what we now know - as long as those in positions of power are doing nothing about this, they are enabling these acts to happen. How many more of the acts of terror described below were enabled by Hillary Clinton or those within govt who have blocked the investigations into terrorism at mosques due to political correctness? From actor Kevin Sorbo's Official Facebook Page April 18, 2015 · Yeah, I know this is long, but it will only take you 2 minutes to read. It is so good. I have posted this once before a while back, but needs to get out there again. Yeah, I also know that facts bug many of you. Sorry for more facts. THIS IS WORTH THE TIME IT TAKES TO READ!!!

So, where are we going wrong?

Have you ever seen a Muslim hospital?

Have you heard a Muslim orchestra?

Have you seen a Muslim band march in a parade?

Have you witnessed a Muslim charity?

Have you shaken hands with a Muslim Girl Scout?

Have you seen a Muslim Candy Striper?

The answer is no, you have not. Just ask yourself WHY ???

Barack Obama, during his Cairo speech, said: "I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America 's history." AN AMERICAN CITIZEN'S RESPONSE Dear Mr. Obama: Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians. Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians. Can you show me one Muslim signature on the: United States Constitution? Declaration of Independence ? Bill of Rights? Didn't think so. Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England ? No. Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America ? No, they did not. In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery. Your own half-brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as "pug nosed slaves." Says a lot of what the Muslim world really thinks of your family's "rich Islamic heritage," doesn't it Mr. Obama? Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country? Not present. There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights. Where were Muslims during this country's Woman's Suffrage era? Again, not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture. So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the 'hajib' or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims are all for women's rights, aren't they? Where were Muslims during World War II? They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from the Nazi's in killing Jews. Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001? If they weren't flying planes into the World Trade Center , the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East . No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news network's that day. Strangely, the very "moderate" Muslims who's asses you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo , Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day. And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here in America ..... Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates. They were Muslims. And now we can add November 5, 2009 - the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan .. Also, don't forget the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15.2013 was done by 2 Muslim Brothers. That, Mr. Obama is the "Muslim heritage" in America

Rainbow Flag Flies Outside Tulsa Public Schools Office

Posted: Jun 15, 2016 12:28 PM EST Updated: Jun 16, 2016 5:08 PM EST By: Emory Bryan, News On 6  TULSA, Oklahoma -

A "Gay Pride" flag is flying outside the headquarters of Tulsa Public Schools; according to the school board, the superintendent put it there. The flag is hard to see just passing by, but it's there, at half-staff, and most people wouldn't see it unless they visit the building. The district said it's a symbol of support as the American, Oklahoma and Gay Pride flags fly together outside the office of Tulsa Public Schools. It's surrounded by trees, and few people driving by seemed to notice, and the few people willing to talk about it seemed to mind. "I don't think that's a concern really. It's just showing solidarity, and I'm all for it," one person said. Another said, "I think, just having the solidarity is enough. I don't think it has to be a political statement." It's not unusual for the district to respond publicly to a news event, but never before has the district displayed a political symbol as a show of support. A district spokesman said it's there because: "We are deeply saddened by the recent senseless act of violence in Orlando, and we fly the pride flag to honor those affected by this tragedy. Tulsa Public Schools is a district committed to fostering safe and supportive climates where all of our students, teachers, and staff feel affirmed and respected." School board president, Lana Turner-Addison, said she didn't know the flag was there but said she talked with the superintendent who said it was her decision to have it up. One teacher said she supported it. "Personally, I don't think it's a political statement. We have a lot of students who identify as LGBTQ, and I think it's supporting our students and making them feel welcome," she said. The Pride flag is so new it has wrinkles from being folded. The district hasn't said who it belongs to, or how long it will fly. There are people opposed to the flag flying on a public school campus, but most commented online rather than on camera.

German ‘Boots on the Ground’ as NATO Troop Build-Up Continues on Syria-Turkey Border

June 15, 2016 By Vanessa Beeley 5 Comments 21st Century Wire says…

The US and NATO are pulling out all stops to turn their Syrian quagmire into something resembling their objectives in Syria. While US and UK troops had been setting up base in the north of Syria ostensibly in order to strike ISIS in Raqqa, the Syrian Arab Army has stolen a march on them with air-cover from the RUAF. In today’s reports from the Syrian Arab News Agency, we hear that the Syrian Army Air Force destroyed ISIS vehicles to the north of the Zakia crossroads and the south side of Tabqa city in the countryside of Raqqa province. Meanwhile, SANA claim that French and German forces have invaded north western Syria in the Ain al-Arab [Kobani] and Manbij areas. This brings them into proximity to the hotly contested Aleppo, Al Qaeda/Al Nusra central where 90% of civilians are being targeted daily in the government held western sectors of the city by a variety of US & NATO backed terrorists gangs embedded in the northern and eastern sectors, aided and abetted by their first response team, US and NATO funded Syria White Helmets. The following report is from the Syrian Arab News Agency in Damascus: “Syria on Wednesday strongly condemned the presence of French and German special forces in Ain al-Arab and Manbij areas. In a statement to SANA, an official source at Foreign and Expatriates Ministry considered this presence as a blatant interference, a flagrant violation of UN Charter’s principles and an overt unjustified aggression on the sovereignty and independence of Syria. “Commenting on news circulated regarding the presence of groups of French and German special forces in Ain al-Arab and Manbij areas on the Syrian territories, the Syrian Arab Republic vehemently condemns this blatant interference that constitutes a flagrant violation of UN Charter’s principles and an overt unjustified aggression on the sovereignty and independence of Syria,” the source said. It added that claiming that this violation comes within counter-terrorism process cannot delude any one because the active and legitimate counter-terrorism requires cooperation with the legitimate Syrian Government, whose army and people are fighting terrorism on each inch of the Syrian territory providing great sacrifices to cleanse the country of terrorism which constitutes a serious threat to the entire security and stability of the world. The source continued to say that the real intentions of this interference are beyond combating terrorism, especially that the countries involved in this action have constituted a main supporter to terrorism since the eruption of the crisis in Syria and hindered any sincere international effort for putting an end to this plague, particularly in terms of giving legitimacy to some terrorist groups through considering them moderate although their approach and ideology are not different from those of ISIS and al-Nusra. It added that the Syrian people stress once again their absolute adherence to the sovereignty and independence of Syria and its territorial integrity and readiness to provide more sacrifices to defend it. The Syrian Arab Republic calls the aggressor states to wake up from daydreams and abandon their illusions and colonialist mentality as the eras of Mandate and Guardianship have irretrievably gone.” In July 2013, the outgoing head of the British Army said the West would have to invade Syria if it wanted to topple the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. “You have to be able, as we did successfully in Libya, to hit ground targets,” General David Richards told The Telegraph. “If you want to have the material effect that people seek [i.e. Assad’s ouster] … you would be going to war if that is what you want to do.” According to Reuters, Germany is hotly denying the presence of their special forces in northern Syria: “There are no German special forces in Syria. The accusation is false,” a ministry spokesman said. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the Syrian civil war now in its sixth year, said French special forces were building a base for themselves near Kobani. France’s defense minister said last week that there were special forces operating in Syria helping the SDF advance towards Manbij. The Observatory also said German, French and American military advisers, and French and American special forces, were assisting the SDF in its fight against Islamic State but had so far remained in a support role and not fought on front lines.” The US and NATO is failing in Syria and it is failing because the Syrian people have steadfastly supported their armed forces and elected Government despite five years of crippling sanctions, US and NATO terrorism, hostile media and NGO complex generated propaganda on a scale never before witnessed in the history of imperialism. They will continue to fail but not without moving every chess piece at their command around the bloodied road map of Syria that is thwarting their neocolonialism and exposing their hypocrisy with every devious move they make.

It’s Be Kind to ISIS Week at the White House

By Ray Starmann

It’s 2016 America, where a feckless, gun grabbing, community organizer serves as Commander in Chief and half the nation is too politically correct to mutter the words, Radical Islamic Terrorism. Carpet bombing is out, soft spoken excuses are in. As ISIS rejoices over another mass slaughter perpetrated against the US by a crazed Jihadi hell bent on hitting a grand slam for Allah, the Democrats blame the problem on the Second Amendment. Yesterday, the nation awaited a response from the President. It got one. Instead of providing a coherent strategy to destroy ISIS or reassure Americans that he’s on the job, the President used the time to apologize for Islam, rant against Trump and present an infomercial on the benefits of diversity. Here are some highlights from the speech. The President’s comments are in italics: At the outset, I want to reiterate our objective in this fight. Our mission is to destroy ISIL. It is? I don’t think the White House has any objective at all. Why ISIL, Mr. President? Do you feel more academic by referring to those murdering bastards as ISIL instead of ISIS? Our aircraft continue to launch from the USS Harry Truman, now in the Mediterranean. Our B-52 bombers are hitting ISIL with precision strikes. Yes, we’re using one of the great terror weapons in the world, the B-52 to fire cruise missiles instead of saturating an area with carpet bombing. It’s like firing one round at a time with a machine gun. Targets are being identified and hit even more quickly — so far, 13,000 airstrikes. This campaign at this stage is firing on all cylinders. Firing on all cylinders? Pardon me while I choke on laughter. We’re firing on half a cylinder at best. The President’s 13,000 airstrikes in nearly two years of Operation Inherent Resolve make it an average of roughly 18 sorties a day against ISIS, which nearly three quarters are waved off because some liberal think tank pansy in the White House is concerned about collateral or environmental damage. Compare this to the 3,000 sorties a day in Desert Storm during the first week, which dropped down to 1500 a day during the rest of the war. Obama’s War on ISIS should be renamed Operation Kumbaya. As the President lauded his Phony War with ISIS, standing next to him was the Pentagon’s very own General Joe Dunford, who looked like a dime store mannequin in a Twilight Zone episode. ISIL’s ranks are shrinking as well. Their morale is sinking. Shrinking? They have more recruits than ever. Sinking morale? Then the President got to the heart of the matter. Forget about fighting a war. What really matters is the destruction of the Second Amendment. We have to make it harder for people who want to kill Americans to get their hands on weapons of war that let them kill dozens of innocents. Actually be tough on terrorism, and stop making it easy as possible for terrorists to buy assault weapons. Reinstate the assault weapons ban. The President moved on to his favorite subject – avoiding the words Radical Islamic Terrorism. For a while now, the main contribution of some of my friends on the other side of the aisle have made in the fight against ISIL is to criticize this administration and me for not using the phrase “radical Islam.” That’s the key, they tell us — we can’t beat ISIL unless we call them “radical Islamists.” What exactly would using this label accomplish? What exactly would it change? Would it make ISIL less committed to trying to kill Americans? Would it bring in more allies? Is there a military strategy that is served by this? The answer is none of the above. Calling a threat by a different name does not make it go away. Imagine FDR during World War II refusing to say Nazis or Nazi Germany. You have to identify a problem to solve it. It’s more than obvious the President is just a little too sympathetic of Islam. This is a man who said, “One of the most beautiful sounds in the world is the Muslim call to prayer.” Obviously, the Muslim call to prayer is something that gives most Americans a real warm and fuzzy every day. He needs to stop making excuses for Islam and start doing his constitutional duty to protect the American people. The President seemed more upset with Mr. Trump than with the Muslim scumbag that murdered 49 people. We now have proposals from the presumptive Republican nominee for President of the United States to bar all Muslims from emigrating to America. Actually, it’s a temporary ban on all citizens from certain countries that sponsor terrorism; places like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, etc. We hear language that singles out immigrants and suggests that entire religious communities are complicit in violence. Where does this stop? The Orlando killer, one of the San Bernardino killers, the Fort Hood killer — they were all U.S. citizens. Yes, they were all US citizens and that is the most troubling feature of all. Irish and German and Vietnamese and Mexican and African Americans aren’t shooting up nightclubs while yelling Allah Akbar are they, Mr. President? Are we going to start treating all Muslim Americans differently? Are we going to start subjecting them to special surveillance? If we were actually taking the ISIS threat seriously, we would be conducting surveillance on mosques that have been a source for radical Islam. But, if you can’t say the word, you can’t do the surveillance. The President signed off with a diversity infomercial for our new kind, gentle, lactating and transgender military. Two weeks ago, I was at the commencement ceremony at the Air Force Academy. And it could not have been more inspiring to see these young people stepping up, dedicated to serve and protect this country. And part of what was inspiring was the incredible diversity of these cadets. We saw cadets, who are straight, applauding classmates who were openly gay. We saw cadets, born here in America, applauding classmates who are immigrants and love this country so much they decided they wanted to be part of our armed forces. We saw cadets and families of all religions applaud cadets who are proud, patriotic Muslim Americans serving their country in uniform, ready to lay their lives on the line to protect you and to protect me. We saw male cadets applauding for female classmates, who can now serve in combat positions. That’s the American military. That’s America — one team, one nation. Those are the values that ISIL is trying to destroy, and we shouldn’t help them do it. ISIS doesn’t have to destroy the US military. We are doing a fine job of exterminating the greatest force on earth all by ourselves. ISIS is laughing at us. ISIS knows they are winning and that they are going to continue to kick our butts until we get tough. If we ever get tough… Obama ended his wartime “fireside chat” with these words from the peace and granola field manual. Our diversity and our respect for one another, our drawing on the talents of everybody in this country, our making sure that we are treating everybody fairly — that we’re not judging people on the basis of what faith they are or what race they are, or what ethnicity they are, or what their sexual orientation is — that’s what makes this country great. What beautiful words. We’re so sensitive. We’re so politically correct. We’re so caring. Isn’t it special? We’re so open and diverse. We love everyone, even our enemies that want to destroy us. We wouldn’t want to insult anyone’s feelings. We’re so doomed… Is anyone in the White House or in the Democrat Party dealing with reality? Reality seems non-existent in today’s Democrat Party. Goodbye JFK, Hello Saul Alinsky. President Obama has become a virtual PC Czar whose lack of action and fortitude is putting the nation in mortal danger. ISIS is going to destroy us if we don’t get tough fast. The only chance the United States has to swerve away from this destructive course is Mr. Trump. Here are three words for you Mr. President, which will hopefully provide some guidance on how to wage war against the madmen of ISIS.

Steven Seagal: Many Mass Shootings Are “Engineered” by the Government

Posted by Self Sustained There are few issues right now more contentious than gun control. One of these issues happens to be “false flag” operations. Actor Steven Seagal has previously sounded off on both. In an interview with RT, the action star-turned second amendment fundamentalist claimed “a lot” of domestic shootings in America were “engineered” in order to drum up support for gun control legislation. In the video, Steven Seagal speaks forthrightly about his belief that there is a concerted effort by the government to violate our rights as part of an assault on the constitution: “I believe in the second amendment and our constitution more than anything in the world, and I think that Adolf Hitler – for example — when he wanted to annihilate the people of Germany — the first thing he did was to take away their guns. And the right to bear arms wasn’t just to protect the people from foreign invaders, it was to protect them from evil governments, and anyone that would violate their inherited rights as human beings.” ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA… Are you ready to turn back the clocks to the 1800’s for up to three years? Our grandfathers and great-grandfathers were the last generation to practice the basic things that we call survival skills now… WATCH THIS VIDEO and you will find many interesting things! He continues, “I believe that, and I hate to say this, a lot of these mass murders and all this funny stuff that’s going on, I believe a lot of this is engineered.” The conspiracy theory surrounding domestic false flag shootings conjures intense emotions on both sides. “Truthers” claim the government uses either CIA operatives or patsies controlled by MKULTRA style psyops in order to foment violence so abhorrent that Americans will be forced to embrace gun control legislation. They believe the end-game of such an insidious scheme is to disarm the general population in advance of extensive martial law or indefinite FEMA detention. Whether any of this theory is true or not is endlessly debatable but highly unlikely. Theorists who claim every mass shooting is a government conspiracy — without providing concrete proof — detract from the documented fact that governments do partake in conspiracies and false flag operations. However, while the mechanism by which domestic shootings could be “engineered” is still unknown, the MKULTRA program is an established historical fact. Researchers are still uncovering CIA connections from this time period, but we do know experimental subjects included Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber.

'We're Heading In A Very Dangerous Direction' - Tis The Season Of Treason In America As The Globalists Kick Their Plans To Disarm The American People Into Overdrive

June 17, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States. 18 U.S. Code 2381 - Treason. The story over at The Atlantic tells us that according to Donald Trump (and many others), "Barack Obama puts America's 'enemy over our allies', even using the word 'treason' to describe what we're now witnessing from our present 'commander-in-chief'. A new story from Front Page Mag tells us that Obama has just invited top communist military and intelligence officials to inspect US defense facilities. Why would he do such a thing as opening up vital national security secrets to 'narco-terrorists'? Has Obama already surrendered? “President Obama claims to know our enemy, and yet he continues to prioritize our enemy over our allies, and for that matter, the American people,” Trump said in a statement to the AP. “When I am President, it will always be America First.” Trump and The Atlantic story aren't the only ones throwing the 'treason' word around and even former presidential candidate and Arizona senator John McCain recently launched into Barack Obama, saying that Obama was 'directly responsible for the Orlando terror attack' because he's allowed the 'rise of ISIS' on his watch. He later backed down on that statement, sort of, saying that Obama wasn't responsible for ISIS' rise but his 'national security decisions' were. Seriously? If Obama's DECISIONS are responsible for the 'rise of ISIS', so is Obama. While we are not here to play 'judge, jury nor executioner', we have published story after story after story on ANP outlining what appears to be decisions made at the highest level of government in America that have put Americans at risk while comforting and aiding our enemies. From decisions made by Hillary Clinton's State Department that led to the loss of lives in Benghazi to both Hillary and Obama leaving the doors wide open to as many terrorists as they want to come into this country we have to ask, why haven't Obama and Hillary ALREADY been charged with treason? It's been proven that Hillary's State Department blocked the FBI investigation into the Orlando killers mosque while we now have absolute proof that the Orlando killers father visited the Hillary Clinton State Department at least 4 times! What was this mass murderer's father doing visiting Hillary's State Department? The fact that this man, who wanted to be the 'future president of Afghanistan,' also HATED America and WROTE OPEN LETTERS to Obama should not be overlooked. Is it just a coincidence that the father of a man who allegedly gunned down 50 Americans has ties to both Obama and Clinton? Taking that one step further, is it just a coincidence that this mass murder and slaughter, the killer who has now been proven to have ties to both Hillary Clinton and Obama, is now being used by the same administration in a very real attempt to take Americans guns away? We'll take a look below at some recent and very disturbing news we have just learned along the gun confiscation front. America now has a very real 'conundrum' and the answer to it will not be solved easily. According to Jeh Johnson, the head of the Department of Homeland Security, 'gun control' is now a 'homeland security' matter. One author and political activist takes that statement of Johnson's one step further. According to Andy Parker, father of the reporter allegedly gunned down on air in Virginia last year, any politicians who are NOT for very strong gun control are committing treason against America. We'll contrast that with a story recently written by Brandon Ward over at World Events and the Bible who claims that Trump, the entire GOP and the National Rifle Association should be considered treasonous for even thinking about restraining the rights of Americans to buy guns after Trump recently tweeted that Americans on the no-fly list or terrorist watch list shouldn't be able to buy guns as seen in the Tweet below. What Ward pointed out in his story that Mr. Trump didn't point out in his tweet is that there are possibly thousands and thousands of law-abiding American citizens on the terrorist watchlist and no-fly lists right now and even Maryland Congressman Steny Hoyer has stated that he has no idea whatsoever how a person's name gets on that list nor how they can get their name off the list.

When They Come for Your Guns, They Will Soon Come for You

Dave Hodges

Meet “Team Genocide”. They want your guns at any cost. They stage false flag attacks as a pretext to get your guns. America needs to ask, why do they need our guns? “Passing gun control is now part and parcel of homeland security” Jeh Johnson-Director of Homeland Security On the way to work, it is possible that Jeh Johnson was stricken with a form of globalist amnesia. He seems to have forgotten that he is in charge of an administrative arm of the United States government; he is not in charge of Congress. Johnson seems to think that it is duty to confiscate all guns from American citizens. Any civics student know that is illegal. But we forget, that we are playing in a game with no rules. The Constitution is a jo

ke to the Obama administration. This administration governs by one precept: MIGHT MAKES RIGHT! The Secretary of Homeland Security has declared war on the Second Amendment and is attempting to bootstrap the tragic events in Orlando as an excuse to throw the Second Amendment on the scrap heap of history: Has Johnson lost his mind? History clearly tells us that when a government confiscates its citizens’ guns, they will soon be committing genocide against these same citizens. Case in point follows from the University of Hawaii which is listed below. The Lessons of History Soon Forgotten Seizing Guns As a Prelude to Democide hawaii democide Do you think that mankind is becoming more civilized due in part to the all the new technology being introduced to society? Think again, nothing could be further from the truth. The 20th century witnessed a record number of people murdered by their government and in each case, each individual genocide was preceded by gun confiscation which took away the citizens ability to protect themselves against a tyrannical government. The University of Hawaii has sponsored a project in which they have analyzed the number of people who have been murdered by their government. The term that the University of Hawaii uses to describe this action is democide (i.e. death by government). The number totals a staggering 262,000,000 people have been murdered by their government between the years to 1900-1987. This is what makes Johnson’s ideas so terribly dangerous because it could potentially render Americans defenseless against an invading army or worse yet, an out of control tyrannical government. In Jeh Johnson’s World, This Man Can Own a Gun Omar Mateen, the perpetrator of the worst mass shooting in American history. The company he worked for is owned by Wackenhut, one DHS’ favorite contractors. This is the same Wackenhut that engages in “snatch and release” programs in which OTM’s (other than Mexicans) are caught at the border and released in the interior. These released illegals include people from the Middle East. Why isn’t Jeh Johnson speaking out against this threat to homeland security? In Jeh Johnson’s World, You Cannot Own a Gun How Well Has This Latest Version of Trading Liberty for Security Worked? If you are ever dumb enough to give up your gun, or advocate that others give up their guns, the above two captions capture the kind of society history says you will inhabit.

DOJ overrules FBI on gun sales debate, says no-fly list can be used for ban

By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Thursday, June 16, 2016

Attorney General Loretta Lynch overruled FBI Director James B. Comey this week, saying the Obama administration does support denying firearms sales to those on terrorist watch lists and that it can be done without harming investigations. Mr. Comey last year had told Congress that denying sales could “blow” his agents’ investigations into potential terrorists. But his superiors at the Justice Department issued a statement Thursday saying they want to see Congress approve the “no-fly, no-buy” plan Democrats are pursuing. “The amendment gives the Justice Department an important additional tool to prevent the sale of guns to suspected terrorists by licensed firearms dealers while ensuring protection of the department’s operational and investigative sensitivities,” department spokesman Dena Iverson said in a statement. In the wake of the weekend’s terror-related shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Democrats have zeroed in on guns, arguing that Omar Mateen’s rampage could have been avoided had Congress enacted a ban on gun sales to those on the government’s watch lists, which are supposed to detail those known or suspected to have ties to terrorism. The FBI has poked holes in that theory, saying that while Mateen had been listed while under investigation a few years ago, he had been removed after the agency was unable to make a case against him. Under the current system, if someone on the list attempts to buy a firearm, the sale

Quad-Phillim? Scientists Want To Create Babies FROM DNA OF 4 PEOPLE

June 16, 2016 by SkyWatch Editor

A team of U.K. scientists is pushing to develop a process for genetically modified babies, using DNA from four parents. The Christian Institute reports that a group of scientists at Newcastle University have been experimenting with Pro-Nuclear Transfer (PNT), which involves transferring DNA from one embryo (created with DNA from two parents) to another embryo (also created with DNA from two parents), thus creating an embryo with DNA from four different individuals. Many scientists and ethicists have condemned the process because it is risky and involves the destruction of hundreds of embryos. Nevertheless, the Newcastle team hopes to continue with their research. etc.

Scientists Are Developing a Mind-Reading Machine at Yale

AmericanIntelligenceReport / June 8, 2016

Scientist’s are Developing a Mind-Reading Machine that Can Read and Translate Your Thoughts Into Text, Including Images Tiff Grandstaff | American Intelligence Report

A device that might make our internal monologues a thing of the past was just announced as being under development right here in the United States. This eavesdropping machine can actually hear the little voices inside your head and make them known to others. The potentially dangerous mind-reading device is being developed by American and German scientists at Yale, with a study led by Professor Marvin Chun and designed by Alan Cowen, a PhD student at the university. Their efforts are being combined to develop an advanced instrument that turns our secret thoughts into readable text and recognizable imagery. As stated recently in The Daily Mail, scientists on the project have the goal of reproducing audible speech using our inaudible brain functions, and they want to do it in real-time. Understanding the Mechanism Electrodes are placed directly on the head correlating with the speech and language centers of the brain. This is all done while the subject is awake and alert. Electrical responses to various stimuli are monitored and measured by scientists and then matched with computer generated signals which correspond to distinct speech patterns. While electrodes and underdeveloped technology currently limit the applications for the device, scientists are busily looking for the loopholes. Yale has even teamed up with UC Berkeley to determine how hearing, speaking, and imaging overlap in the brain, with Professor Robert Knight leading the team of researchers. He stated in a recent interview, “We want to develop an implantable device that decodes the signals that occur in the brain when we think about a word, then turn these signals into a sound file that can be reproduced by a speech device.” With the device being planned for future implantation, it is not illogical to wonder what the real agenda is. Knight was also quoted as saying, “Our ultimate goal is to create a small device that can be used in everyday life.” The device might sound like a dream come true for some, but for others the potential that the device might to get placed into the wrong hands is more than frightening, it’s downright creepy. Questioning the Motives Today’s typical brain scans already have the ability to create rudimentary pictures of what we are thinking and/or feeling, but this new machine is lightyears ahead. Recently, scientists were able to successfully translate and play back a word that their subject thought simply by monitoring their brain activity. Furthermore, the device, which remains nameless at the moment, can actually view images that are stored deep inside your memory bank. While that might sound kind of amazing to some, it still begs the question as to what the purpose of such a machine might be for Americans in the future. As the envelope of neuro-telepathy gets continually pushed, our privacy is also being incessantly challenged. Still, most innovations with the potential to invade our privacy come wrapped in a nice humanitarian cover story, and this one is no different. The Daily Mail reports that the machine is being developed to help sufferers of Lou Gehrig’s disease, Alzheimer’s, stroke, and dementia. The L.A. Times, though, is unabashedly claiming that the machine is being produced for the purposes of investigations involving facial reconstruction. The Final Verdict Whatever the case, the agreed upon goal is to communicate a person’s private thoughts via a video screen, electronic speaker, or word processor. Rest assured; this is only the beginning of the end of the Fifth Amendment, which outlines our right to remain silent. If you think this sounds like science fiction, or the plot of Minority Report, you should know that there are already devices in use that can read your facial expressions or emotions in order to prevent car accidents and road rage. Moreover, Fox News reported way back in 2008 that Homeland Security would attempt to detect terrorist activity by monitoring the intent of American citizens. In short, we might soon be incriminating ourselves without even trying, and it will be seen as acceptable under the guise of freedom, justice, safety, and medicine. Sources:

Like The Watchers In The Days Of Noah, We’ve Set Sail To Create Synthetic People And To Replace Entire Species Via ‘Gene Drives’ June 14, 2016 by SkyWatch Editor

Making synthetic people is not such a far-fetched fear. Regalado points out that Church has proposed exactly that project in his 2012 book Regenesis: How Synthetic Biology Will Reinvent Nature and Ourselves. Church wants to recode the human genome to make it impossible for viruses to enter. HIV and the common cold, gone […] But here, in one sentence, is the issue with gene drives. “The emergence of gene-drive systems — which spread engineered mutations quickly through populations — means that a single released organism could eventually alter most of its local population, and quite possibly all populations of the species throughout the world.” That from Kevin Esvelt, in a post at Nature. In a profile at TechReview, Antonio Regalado calls Esvelt “the moralist policing gene drives, a technology that messes with evolution.” Esvelt worked with the ever-present George Church on the gene-editing system known as CRISPR for genome engineering. Regalado credits Esvelt with bringing the gene drive safety issue to public attention two years ago. (READ MORE)

Scientists Are Using Corporate Funds to Rewrite the Human Genome From Scratch

Posted on June 16, 2016Big Pharma By Chris “Kikila” Perrin

When it comes to science, discovering something new is perhaps one of the fundamental motivators for research. For the most part, the impact these discoveries have are mostly centered within the scientific community, or tend to become a link in a long chain of discovery. Yet when it comes to the potential to write a human genome, from nothing, the implication is a little broader. A new project announced last week will see a team of scientists doing exactly that: working to develop a process whereby a complete human genome can be written in a lab. The Human Genome Project-write (HGP-write), nominally linked to the Human Genome Project (HGP) that saw the mapping of the human genome mapped in its entirety in 2004, is a project designed to artificially synthesize the foundational biological building blocks of the human being. A project that is entirely based on potential, the scientific and medical applicability of this experiment seems almost limitless. Thanks to information generated through the original HGP, scientists are already able to synthesize aspects of genomes, helping us to heal and increasing our understanding of human biology and how disease and other potentially harmful agents interact with us. Science and the power of discovery, however, is not the only issue here. Despite a project outline published in the journal Science earlier this year, there are several questions that HGP-write have simply not answered. Moreover, the authors of the paper have left certain moral and ethical questions out in their entirety. If this were not enough to cause concern among policy-makers and the general public, that the meetings concerning HGP-write have been conducted behind closed doors — doors paid for heavily by corporate donors, with no press permitted to attend — is causing even more worry. Working to cure disease and understand the nature of our being is, intrinsically, a noble pursuit. Few would argue this point. Things done for the greater good of humanity, however, might include a more democratic voice — particularly when there are questionable applications for the new science, or new technology. If the article in Science contained some discussion on the ethics of writing a human genome from scratch, or perhaps even some discussion on the potential ability of this technology to create designer human beings, then concerns might be lessened. Being able to write a human genome moves scientists and biologists a little closer to having the technological capacity of manufacturing a customized human being. Although this is not specifically the nature of the project as outlined in Science, the HGP-write project makes moving beyond simple genome manipulation and entering into full creation a conceivable possibility. It is here where critics are calling for a deeper, broader discussion concerning the ethics of not only the project, but the concept in general.

Combining Multiple Childhood Vaccines Not Safe Says Article in Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons

Posted on June 16, 2016 Vaccines By Natural Blaze

TUCSON, Ariz., June 14, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Multiple childhood vaccines are often given at one visit, but contrary to the claims of public health officials there is evidence that this practice is unsafe, writes medical research journalist Neil Z. Miller in the summer issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons. Miller used data in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), jointly operated by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which was established in 1990. This contains about 500,000 reports of adverse events that occurred in association with, but not necessarily caused by vaccines. Miller acknowledges that health authorities often suggest that VAERS may be unreliable, but points out that CDC considers VAERS an important vaccine safety assessment tool and regularly conducts its own studies using VAERS data. Miller writes, Although CDC recommends polio, hepatitis B, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, rotavirus, Haemophilus influenzae type B, and pneumococcal vaccines for two-, four-, and six-month-old infants, this combination of eight vaccines administered during a single physician visit was never tested for safety in clinical trials. This is at odds with a CDC report which found that mixed exposures to chemical substances and other stress factors, including prescribed pharmaceuticals, may produce ‘increased or unexpected deleterious health effects.’ Miller looked at the percentage of reported reactions that involved hospitalization or death as related to the number of vaccine doses the infant had received, and to the age of the infant. “Our study showed that infants who receive several vaccines concurrently…are significantly more likely to be hospitalized or die when compared with infants who receive fewer vaccines simultaneously,” he writes. “It also showed that reported adverse effects were more likely to lead to hospitalization or death in younger infants.” In infants receiving five or more vaccines concurrently, 5.4% of reported reactions were fatal, compared with 3.6% in those receiving four or fewer, the study shows. “Parents and physicians should consider health options associated with a lower risk of hospitalization or death,” Miller concludes.

Move Over Zika: A Superbug Hits Brazilian Beaches

Posted On June 16, 2016 By Katherine Marko

Masses of athletes and millions of spectators are heading to Brazil for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games starting on Aug. 5. As Brazil scrambles to gain control of a mosquito-borne Zika virus outbreak, now they have to contend with a new superbug lurking in Rio’s waters. Infested beaches and waterways Article: Coffee Plus Honey More Effective Than Steroids for Cough Just under two months from the opening of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, scientists have found a dangerous drug-resistant “super bacteria” in areas that will draw thousands of Olympics fans to scheduled events, reports Reuters. Two unpublished studies disclosed to the newswire suggest that hazardous microbes normally only found in hospitals and which may be antibiotic resistant are found in and near the country’s beaches. The report also claims that Rio’s sewage-infested waterways are unsafe. The bacterium is said to cause urinary, gastrointestinal, pulmonary and bloodstream infections and meningitis. Most frightening, the Centers for Disease Control says the bacterium can kill up to half of people infected.

How Will You Cope With A Lower Standard of Living?

Jun 11 Posted by sierra2one By: Tom Chatham

The forces are mounting that will eventually overwhelm most Americans and send their standard of living to unknown depths. Americans that have only known the post WWII prosperity are ill equipped and educated to deal with depression level living. Easy credit and instant gratification have created a nation of whining, self absorbed, entitlement minded people with no moral or mental toughness. Doug Casey believes we are headed for what he calls a super depression created by the ending of a debt super cycle. The bigger the debt cycle the bigger the depression that follows. That’s how reality works and most people are not prepared for reality. When this depression, which has already started, gets momentum, it will overwhelm the plans of a society that is expecting to get things like social security, pensions and payouts from retirement plans they have paid into for many years. All of those things will disappear almost overnight and leave society gasping and stupefied over what to do. Their reactions will be to yell and scream and try to identify who to blame but the only person they should blame is the one in the mirror. Many very smart people have raised the alarm and done their best to warn the sleeping public, but those slumbering masses have ignored the warnings and hit the snooze button one more time. The masses do not understand economics, do not want to understand economics and they will pay dearly for that ignorance in the coming days. When the real unemployment rate becomes common knowledge as it increases substantially, people will be left to survive on what resources they have saved up outside the banking system that cannot be stolen by the politicians and bankers. That is a key point here. The assets you have outside the system that cannot be stolen from you with a few key strokes on some computer. Those hoping for some miraculous event that will send the U.S. back to the days of manufacturing might and jobs for all will never see it happen. Those days are gone. The west line theory tells us our economy will slow down and become more modest as the shipping center of the world moves west to the next powerhouse region which is Asia. This is what history teaches us. When people suddenly wake up one morning and they have no job, their retirement is gone and they need to care for their family, what will they do? When government services have collapsed and they suddenly realize they are now living in a third world country with few government services, what will they do? When the banks are closed and only a select few connected people have any type of money or access to goods, what will they do? This is the reality that many people will face in the future and they have no idea how bad it can get. They refuse to contemplate the harsh reality they will be living in and take steps to mitigate the effects. To do so would be to acknowledge it could happen and they are taking personal responsibility. Personal responsibility is a dirty phrase in today’s entitlement society. To see some of the effects one only has to look at the collapse of society in Venezuela today to see what awaits. When it happens it will all fall back to you to take responsibility for your family and take care of them for the duration. To do that you need to plan now for that eventuality and build up the resources you will need to provide food, shelter, clothing and security when the system fails to do it for you. You need to be Noah on his ark not the people watching as he floated away. Having resources stored up is a must but it may not get you all the way through if the situation lasts for many years. That is why you need some type of plan to replace those resources as time goes by and have some way to generate some type of income or at least items to trade. Usable goods are for the short term and things like gold ,silver and production equipment are for the long term to help you get through the crisis with the least amount of pain. Even with proper planning the days ahead will not be easy as the standard of living of society will fall substantially to levels only seen in failed third world countries or old pictures. The assets actually owned by people today is very small compared to how they live. They will default on their home loan, their car loan, and their credit card debt leaving them with very few real possessions and few ways to move what they have left even if they have some place to go. Ultimately these people will become the new serfs to the wealthy class that will take possession of anything of value. Feudalism will once again rule. The lack of planning by society will make this a reality if it is allowed. What will you do when everything you have worked a lifetime for is suddenly taken away? Do you have a plan to keep what you have? Do you have a plan to make money when you cannot find a job? Do you have a way to take care of your family until things stabilize? Do you have a home you will not lose if the whole system breaks down? What will you do if electricity or fuel is too expensive to buy or not available to the general population? These are the questions you should be asking yourself now and you better have a good answer because your family will be asking them when the greater depression sets in.

U.S. and Russian Jets Clash Over Syria

06.19.16 9:20 PM ET

American and Russian fighter jets had a tense showdown in the skies above Syria as the Russians dropped bombs on U.S.-backed rebels. U.S. and Russian fighter jets bloodlessly tangled in the air over Syria on June 16 as the American pilots tried and failed to stop the Russians from bombing U.S.-backed rebels in southern Syria near the border with Jordan. The aerial close encounter underscores just how chaotic Syria’s skies have become as Russia and the U.S.-led coalition work at cross-purposes, each dropping bombs in support of separate factions in the five-year-old civil war. The near-clash also highlights the escalating risk of American and Russian forces actually coming to blows over Syria, potentially sparking a much wider conflict between the world’s leading nuclear powers. The incident began when at least two twin-engine Su-34 bombers, some of Moscow’s most advanced warplanes, struck what the Pentagon described as a “border garrison” housing around 200 U.S.-supported rebels in At Tanf on the Syrian side of the Syria-Jordan border. The rebels had been “conducting counter-ISIL operations in the area,” the Pentagon stated on June 18, using an alternative acronym for ISIS. The United States and its allies in Syria clearly did not expect the air strike. The rebels in At Tanf are party to a shaky ceasefire agreement between rebel forces and the regime of Syrian president Bashar Al Assad—and, by extension, the Russian military contingent backing Al Assad. The Los Angeles Times reported that Russian planes had not previously been active over At Tanf. The Su-34s’ initial strike wounded, and perhaps killed, some of the rebels in At Tanf. The U.S. Navy scrambled F/A-18 fighters to intercept the Russians, the Los Angeles Times reported. The Navy has deployed two aircraft carriers to the region for strikes on ISIS. As the F/A-18s approached the Su-34s, officials with U.S. Central Command—which oversees America’s wars in the Middle East and Afghanistan—used a special hotline to contact their Russian counterparts directing Russia’s own intervention in Syria. Arriving over At Tanf, the American pilots apparently spoke directly to the Russian aviators. “Pilots CAN communicate with one another on a communications channel set up to avoid air accidents,” Central Command confirmed in a statement to The Daily Beast. Washington and Moscow had established the hotline as part of a so-called Safety of Flight Memorandum of Understanding that the two governments signed in October specifically in order to avoid the kind of aerial confrontation that occurred over Syria last week. With the American jets flying close enough to visually identify the Su-34s, the Russians departed the air space over At Tanf. Some time shortly thereafter, the F/A-18s ran low on fuel and left the area in order to link up with an aerial tanker. That’s when the Su-34s reportedly returned to At Tanf—and bombed the rebels again. According to the Los Angeles Times, the second strike killed first-responders assisting survivors of the first bombing run. The next day, senior U.S. Defense Department officials organized an “extraordinary” video conference with Russian counterparts to discuss the incident. The meeting included Acting Assistant Secretary for International Security Affairs Elissa Slotkin and U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, a strategic planner on the Pentagon’s joint staff, plus unspecified Russian Ministry of Defense officials. “Department officials expressed strong concerns about the attack on the coalition-supported counter-ISIL forces at the At Tanf garrison, which included forces that are participants in the cessation of hostilities in Syria, and emphasized that those concerns would be addressed through ongoing diplomatic discussions on the cessation of hostilities,” Defense Department spokesman Peter Cook explained in a statement. "Regarding safety, department officials conveyed that Russia’s continued strikes at At Tanf, even after U.S. attempts to inform Russian forces through proper channels of on-going coalition air support to the counter-ISIL forces, created safety concerns for U.S. and coalition forces,” Cook continued. “Department officials requested Russian responses to address those concerns.” Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov confirmed, via the country’s state-owned media, that the teleconference took place—but he did not specify the results of the “extraordinary” meeting. Russian warplanes had previously shadowed planes belonging to the U.S.-led coalition over Syria, but the coalition always described the Russians’ behavior as “professional.” By contrast, in April Russian Su-24 bombers repeatedly buzzed the U.S. Navy warship USS Donald Cook while the vessel sailed in international waters in the Black Sea. A Pentagon spokesman called the Russians’ actions in that incident “provocative and unprofessional.” The Kremlin should be keenly aware of the potential for unwanted—and potentially destabilizing—bloodshed that exists in the air over Syria. In November, a Russian Su-24 bomber flying a mission over Syria strayed over the Syria-Turkey border into Turkey—and a Turkish F-16 fighter promptly shot it down. The two Russian crew members ejected. One flier died when Syrian rebels on the ground opened fire on his parachute. Russian, Syrian, and Iranian forces launched a complex rescue mission that ultimately retrieved the surviving pilot. One Russian marine died and a helicopter was destroyed during that operation. The fallout from the November incident continues, with Russia and Turkey exchanging threats—and Moscow imposing economic sanctions on Ankarra including limits on some food imports to Russia from Turkey. It’s not clear how close the U.S. fighters came to attacking and potentially shooting down the Su-34s over At Tanf. Central Command declined to say what the rules of engagement are for American pilots flying over Syria. “ROE are actually specifics that we don’t get into,” Central Command said in a statement. The last time a U.S. military warplane shot down a Russian—actually, Soviet—plane was in 1953, over Korea or China, depending on which historians you believe. The last time a Russian or Soviet warplane shot down an American aircraft was in 1970, when a U.S. Army plane strayed over Armenia.

We Will Never Make Evil Stop. Only God Can Do That.

Jun. 16, 2016 2:52pm Matt Walsh

The cover of the Boston Glob (note: I originally meant to type “Globe” but then realized that my typo is oddly appropriate, so I’m leaving it) today features a big, scary gun and the words “Make It Stop.” The paper calls for a ban on “assault weapons” in order to “stop gun violence.” The left is hailing this as “courageous,” as if it takes courage to engage in meaningless and popular platitudes. The Glob’s stand is not brave and it’s not unprecedented. It is merely echoing the sentiments of many people in our culture. We need to stop bad things, they say, and the way to do this is to pass another set of laws. It’s explained that we will place these laws on top of the 1,000 layers of pre-existing laws, and finally this last layer will be the thing that “makes it stop.” Of course, this country’s original law – the Constitution – is contradicted and ultimately erased by many of the laws on top of it. This is by design. The left views the law as the problem, and in order to rectify it they pass additional laws. But, you’ll notice, they never attempt to officially amend or abolish the original laws. They just create laws to compete with the ones they don’t like, and then leave it up to the judges to side with whichever law they personally prefer. This is how the left plans to “make it stop.” I’d like to go beyond the particulars of the gun control debate and deal with this idea that laws – or any other human effort – can make evil stop. It’s a silly and immature notion, but it’s also quite common, and I believe it does come from a sincere place in the human soul. Indeed, we all want to “make it stop.” We all recognize that evil should not be happening, and we simply cannot bear, and refuse to accept, that it will continue right along no matter what we do. Although we all see that the world can be an ugly and brutal place, we still have this odd and fanciful notion that the ugliness is an aberration and the brutality doesn’t belong. Even though there seems to be far less goodness than there is badness, it seems we instinctively recognize the badness as a mutation, and the goodness as the way things ought to be. Anyone looking at things purely scientifically and objectively could not possibly reach these conclusions. Based on all available evidence, we should not even attempt to “make it stop” because “it” appears to be the primary function of the universe. A look at current events or a study of any point in human history reveals that bad men are always doing bad things. And they do them so often and so consistently that it doesn’t even make sense to call it bad. It seems we should call it natural. Trying to take all of the violence and hatred out of the world is like trying to take all of the water out of the ocean. Not only is it impossible, but even if you succeeded, it wouldn’t be the ocean anymore. That’s how it would seem, anyway, if you’re approaching this from a secular and materialistic perspective. But hardly anyone will admit that world is naturally and fundamentally and intrinsically bad. It’s interesting that even secularists and materialists do not approach this question from a secular and materialistic point of view. Everyone still sees evil as a usurper, an unwelcome guest; something that can, and ought to be, destroyed. And we’re right. Evil is a parasite that has attached itself to the world. The world was not built to house evil. People were not created for the purpose of doing evil. The world was assembled for goodness and beauty, and so were we. We have had to contort and pervert ourselves to accommodate badness. That’s why there is no harmony with evil. Evils cannot even reach compromises and agreements among themselves. They’re constantly warring with each other and fighting over the same stolen land. Evil was never meant to be here. The world was never meant to be used like this. We were never meant to do the awful things we do. The world was never meant to be the awful place it is. The world is like a great structure designed to be a cathedral but converted almost immediately into a whore house. The trouble is that once you allow the evil into the world – once you open the door to it and say, “Please, come in” – you cannot so easily expel it. Once you have the cancer, you cannot suddenly demand that it leaves. You need a doctor for that, and even when you go to the doctor, you have to accept that the process of destroying the disease will be long, painful, and costly. The question becomes: Who is the doctor? Many people in our culture think the government can play that role. Or sometimes they think actual doctors can be the doctors. They turn every act of evil into a medical or psychological condition and expect the “medical community” to come up with the solution. But doctors and politicians do not have the cure. They are just as sick as you, maybe even sicker. We have to keep looking. The fact that we are looking at all should, in itself, tell us that there is, somewhere, something to find. As C.S. Lewis wrote, if we have a desire for something, it means there must be an object. There must be a way to satiate it. We cannot desire things that do not exist. So hunger is evidence that food exists. Thirst is evidence that water exists. And, I would say, our desire for a great doctor, a force that can come and solve evil, is evidence that such a force exists. His name is God. We are made by God and for Him. We were made to love, to hope, to give. We were not made to hate, to envy, to lie, to destroy. These are unnatural acts. The more we do them, and the more everyone else does them, the less the world can function. It’s like trying to fuel your Jeep with urine. It was not made to run on human secretions just as the world was not made to run on sin. And it can’t. It just stands stands still and rusts gradually away. We were made to live in a beautiful and loving world, and then finally to be reunited with Him in an even more beautiful and loving one. But there is no love without freedom. There is no love that is not chosen. Love cannot be compelled, not even by God. God did not stage some giant puppet show for Himself. He did not build robots or computer systems. He built powerful and sentient creatures and gave us the ability to choose right or wrong, virtue or sin, good or evil. He made us to go in a particular direction, but because he wanted us to love, he also gave us the ability to go another way. Humanity very often chooses the latter. And that’s where all the trouble arises. The good news is that God did not just build the world and then retire to his room to take a nap for several thousand years. He is still here, trying to help us get back on the path He paved for us. If He were the sort of God who gives up and says, “To hell with you ungrateful brats,” He would have walked away after the whole debacle with Adam and Eve. And who could have blamed Him? But God so desperately wants us to come home to Him that He went to Earth Himself and willingly paid the price for our sins. And He remains with us now, trying every moment to guide us in. Remember, the father in the Prodigal Son parable did not stand at his door and wave to his son as the young man walked up the pathway. He ran down to him. He met him on the road. He embraced him, and forgave him, and said, “Let’s go inside and celebrate.” That’s where we belong. At home with Him. We were made for joy. We were not made to live amid these horrors. Even less were we made to contribute to the horrors ourselves. So the solution – the solution that we all desire, whether we recognize it or not – is to drag our sick bodies back to God and give ourselves over to His healing and His mercy. Want to make it stop? You can’t. Neither can the government. Neither can anyone here on Earth. Only God has the cure, but we must accept it, and we must follow the prescriptions he gives us, even if they’re painful and difficult. We have to focus first on stopping the evil within ourselves. I cannot hope to help treat the epidemic if the disease is already inside me and wreaking havoc on my body. I have to go to the doctor, go to God, and ask Him to put me on the road to recovery. And then, finally, at a time unknown to everyone, the Lord will come and make all the evil stop. He will cure the whole outbreak all at once. He will snuff it out at the source. The final battle will be waged, and evil will die its final death. Until that moment, there will be evil. After it, there will be none. It will all be over. Everything will be restored to its original design. The whores will be driven out of the cathedral, and only beauty and holiness will remain. There will be no more time for choosing between good and evil at that point. We are the whores in the cathedral – if that wasn’t clear from my analogy – and when God shows up at the entrance and starts clearing out the riffraff, it will be no use to say then, “Oh, actually I changed my mind.” Our choice will already be made, and we will have to live or die with it. He will make it stop all right. We better just make sure we are not among the ones He stops. So, in the mean time, if we want at least to fight the evil – not to “stop” it entirely, but to struggle against it – and if we want to protect ourselves and our families from it, then we should follow Him. We should pray relentlessly. We should go to church. We should read the Scripture. We should follow the prescriptions the doctor gives us. We should live healthy spiritual lives, so that we can be sure that we are more a part of the solution than the problem. We should be people of faith, courage, and hope. We should stick close to God. And, on a practical level, it probably wouldn’t hurt to buy a gun.

Watchman Warning: Soft Target

By Hal Lindsey

Security analysts see all gatherings of people as potential terrorist targets. Generally, they divide them into two categories — “hard targets” and “soft targets.” Hard targets are well guarded and soft targets have little or no defense. In light of the Orlando terror attack, we might expect government officials to look for ways to turn more soft targets into hard ones. But just the opposite is happening. Almost immediately following the attack, the politics of gun control began to drive much of the discussion. Gun control advocates want to diminish our ability to defend ourselves. They want to turn us — along with our places of work, of worship, and our homes — into soft targets. Under present law, a terrorist would be crazy to use guns in an assault on a conservative, evangelical church in Texas. That’s because a significant number of conservative evangelicals have chosen to take advantage of that state’s right to carry laws. Even in a small Texas church, there’s a good chance someone will be packing heat. It would be almost impossible for one terrorist to shoot over a hundred people, killing almost half — if some of those people were shooting back. Someone might argue that Jesus was against violence, but a closer look at scripture tells a more nuanced story. In Luke 9, Jesus sent some of His disciples on a short missionary journey. He “sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to perform healing. And He said to them, ‘Take nothing for your journey, neither a staff, nor a bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not even have two tunics apiece.’” (Luke 9:2-3 NASB) He did this to show them, and all who would follow, that God is our Source — not money or reserves of food. He provides for our needs. The instructions Jesus gave illustrated that even when He would no longer be physically present, His followers would never be “on their own.” God always watches over us. In Luke 22, not long before His crucifixion, Jesus reminded His disciples of that experience. He wanted them to draw on that memory so that they would always see God as their Provider. But as they were about to set out on missionary journeys that would transform the world, He told them to take some things with them, including money. That fits with what they had seen Him do. During the three years of Jesus’ ministry, the group had a treasurer and a moneybag. That would be the normal way of doing things. “He said to them, ‘When I sent you out without purse and bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?’ And they said, ‘No, nothing.’ And He said to them, ‘But now, let him who has a purse take it along, likewise also a bag, and let him who has no sword sell his robe and buy one.’” (Luke 22:35-36 NASB Jesus did not advocate violence, but He told them to take a sword on their journeys. He said if they didn’t have a sword, they should sell something as essential as a robe in order to buy one. Self-defense is implicit in this instruction. There are no limits on God’s ability. He can just do things for us. After Philip baptized the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8, it says, “the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch saw him no more, but went on his way rejoicing. But Philip found himself at Azotus.” (Acts 8:39-40 NASB) That was a transportation miracle. But in every other case we know of, the disciples of Jesus went place to place in a very natural, human way. They walked. God has the ability to snatch us up and take us where He wants, but His usual method is to let us do the things we can. God uses even our most basic abilities, like walking. He wants us to participate where we can —including in our own protection. A new editorial in Rolling Stone magazine argues that we should not be allowed that right. On June 13th, they ran an editorial calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment. Apparently the United Nations agrees. U.N. human rights commissioner Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein asked, “How many more mass killings of school-children, of co-workers, of African-American churchgoers, how many more individual shootings of talented musicians like Christina Grimmie, or politicians like Gabrielle Giffords, will it take before the United States adopts robust gun regulation?” But here’s the problem. If we must depend only on police and other government agencies to defend us, then almost everything and everyone will be a soft target. NFL football games won’t be, but your kid’s soccer game will. Hollywood studios will remain hard targets, but the local multiplex will be a soft target — as will your local grocery store, school, church, and park. But if people who pass a certain level of screening and testing are allowed the means to defend themselves, they will also defend the people around them — hardening targets everywhere. In all of this, we have to remember that God remains the ultimate defense. We may water the garden, but only God can make vegetables grow. It’s the same with defense. Psalms 33 says, “The king is not saved by a mighty army; A warrior is not delivered by great strength. A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength. Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope for His lovingkindness, To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.” (Psalms 33:16-20 NASB) While those words give me comfort as an individual, they give me grave concern for my country. The United States of America has the strongest, most powerful military in the history of the world by far. But that alone is not enough. If we as a nation do not turn to God for deliverance, the United States itself will soon become a “soft target.”

DR Congo warlord Bemba jailed over war crimes

2 hours ago

Congolese ex-rebel leader Jean-Pierre Bemba has been jailed for 18 years following a landmark conviction at the International Criminal Court (ICC) for war crimes and sexual violence. Bemba, a former vice-president of DR Congo, was convicted in March of crimes committed in the neighbouring Central African Republic (CAR) in 2002-2003. He was accused of failing to stop his rebels from killing and raping people. Bemba's lawyers have already said they will appeal against his conviction. Judges announced sentences of between 16 and 18 years for five counts of rape, murder and pillaging, with the jail terms running concurrently. The eight years Bemba has already spent in custody will be deducted from his term. Africa Live: BBC news updates from across the continent His conviction was the first time the ICC had focused on rape as a weapon of war, and the first time a suspect had been convicted for crimes committed by others under his command. Passing sentence at the ICC in The Hague, Judge Sylvia Steiner said Bemba had failed to exercise control over his private militia sent into CAR, where they carried out "sadistic" rapes, murders and pillaging of "particular cruelty". The BBC's Anna Holligan, who is in The Hague, says two key issues remain - where Bemba will serve his sentence and the amount of compensation to be awarded to his victims.

Bemba was "extremely disappointed" with the sentence, his lawyer, Kate Gibson, told AFP news agency. "Today's sentence is by no means the end of the road for Mr Bemba, it merely signals that we are now moving to the next phase of the process which is the appeal," she said. In 2002 Bemba had sent more than 1,000 fighters to the CAR to help then president Ange Felix Patasse put down an attempted coup. The court heard that his troops committed acts of extreme violence against civilians - crimes which the judge said Bemba was made aware of but did nothing to stop. He had led the MLC (Movement for the Liberation of Congo) rebel group during DR Congo's brutal civil war and after a 2003 peace deal he laid down his arms and joined an interim government. Human Rights Watch (HRW) said the sentence offered "a measure of justice" for the victims. "Other commanders should take notice that they, too, can be held accountable for rapes and other serious abuses committed by troops under their control," said Geraldine Mattioli-Zeltner, HRW's international justice advocacy director. The MLC is now a major opposition party in DR Congo and Secretary General Eve Bazaiba criticised the ICC ruling and sentence. "We will never cease denouncing the selective justice of the ICC," she told supporters in the capital Kinshasa.

FBI Changes 'Allah' to 'God' in Orlando Shooter Transcript

By Tyler O'Neil June 20, 2016

When Omar Mateen called 911 during his shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, the man pledged allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS) and repeated the common Islamic phrase "Allah the merciful," but those phrases did not appear in the transcript of the call published by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Monday morning. On Sunday, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, the head of the Justice Department, explicitly said the FBI, which is under her jurisdiction, would doctor the text of the transcripts to remove the Islamic State. But more telling is what she did not say -- not only were the mentions of ISIS taken out, but the word "Allah" was altered to read "God" instead.

DOJ to Release Orlando Shooters's 911 Call But Redact ISIS Pledge, Religious References

Here is a sample of the transcription:

Orlando Police Dispatcher (OD)

Shooter (OM)

OD: Emergency 911, this is being recorded.

OM: In the name of God the Merciful, the beneficial [in Arabic]

OD: What?

OM: Praise be to God, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of God [in Arabic]. I let you know, I'm in Orlando and I did the shootings.

OD: What's your name?

OM: My name is I pledge allegiance to [omitted].

OD: OK, What's your name?

OM: I pledge allegiance to [omitted] may God protect him [in Arabic], on behalf of [omitted]. This is quite a revealing alteration. When Chuck Todd asked Lynch what was going to be left out, she responded, "What we're not going to do is further proclaim this man's pledges of allegiance to terrorist groups and further his propaganda." She later said this doctoring was done to "avoid revictimizing those who went through this horror." How does she explain the alteration of the name "Allah"? Would it be "revictimizing" survivors to mention the Islamic name of God? Would it be cow-towing to Mateen's "propaganda"? Or maybe it would suggest the bare obvious fact that Omar Mateen did the evils that he did in the name of Islam and the Muslim deity, whose name is Allah. You could argue that the FBI was merely translating the Arabic word for "God" into the English word for "God," but that would be like translating the Christian "God" into "Krishna" or the Hebrew "G-d" into "Jupiter." It is not a pure translation, because the different names have different meanings, even in the same language. Why Speaking the Truth About Islamic Terrorism Matters No, they translated "Allah" into "God" in order to silence the unavoidable truth -- that the horrid murders in Orlando were part of radical Islamic terror, not just some lone wolf totally unconnected to that specific religion. Ironically, this strategy is like to reinforce the impact of ISIS, not downplay the organization. President Obama's now-explicitly-stated policy is refusing to use the words "radical Islamic terror" as if it were the ideology-that-must-not-be-named.

Gaza offshore island project gaining steam, says intelligence minister

In exclusive meeting on Monday, Israel Katz discusses the details of the project that his ministry estimates will cost $5 billion. A proposal to provide the Gaza Strip with an outlet to the rest of the world through a man-made island could soon become a reality, Intelligence and Transportation Minister Israel Katz said Monday. Although the idea of building this artificial island has been floating around for years, real headway has only been made in the recent months, according to Katz, who estimates the project will cost some $5 billion. The project would include a 5 km. bridge from the Gaza Strip through Israeli waters and into the planned 8 sq. km. chunk of land, which likely would have a marine port and, eventually, an airport, in addition to a hotel and small port for yachts. Hamas has said that among its conditions for a long-term truce with Israel are the reopening of the Strip’s Yasser Arafat Airport and construction of a new seaport. Such an option on existing Gaza land, Katz said, would put Israel’s security at risk and allow Hamas to misuse funds allocated for its construction. The alternative, if the island is not built, Katz said, is for Israel to keep increasing – and paying for – the amount of water, electricity, food and other goods supplied to Gaza. According to Katz, the process is still being deliberated by officials who are mainly trying to decide how exactly Israel would be involved in maintaining security at a port that would be internationally funded and secured. The minister said the project would not be built or funded by Israel in any way. Rather, he said, the initiative is more of a statement of support were this plan come to fruition and Israel would allow international entities to enter Israeli waters in order to carry out construction. Katz acknowledged that the island would not necessarily put an end to weapon smuggling and rocket firings at Israel, but would help the populace to become less radical as it receives a better standard of living and the possibility of traveling and commerce with the rest of the world without Israeli involvement. The project, which Katz said has the support of a number of high-profile global figures including Tony Blair, is one of a number of regional-cooperation projects, using the oft-stated slogan of “doing what we can wherever it’s possible” and finding areas in which regional “frenemies” can find issues on which to cooperate. In May, Katz announced an initiative that would transfer Turkish goods to Jordan and onward to the rest of the region through Israel via a train route from the Port of Haifa to Beit She’an, which is a 15-minute drive from the Sheikh Hussein Border Crossing into Jordan.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas Retiring?

06-20-2016 CBN News

Court watchers say U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is considering retirement folllowing the presidential election in November, according to the Washington Examiner. Thomas is a consistent conservative vote on the high court. President George H.W. Bush appointed him, and he endured a tough Senate confirmation before being approved. Court watchers say the justice has been contemplating retirement for some time and never considered staying until he died. He enjoys vacationing in the summer with his wife in his RV, according to the report. Meanwhile, Thomas' wife, Ginni, wrote on Facebook that the reports saying her husband may retire are false. "IT. IS. BOGUS!" she exclaimed in all caps. "For all those who are contacting me about the possibility of my husband retiring, I say -- unsubscribe from those false news sources and carry on with your busy lives," she wrote. If Thomas does retire, that could dramatically affect the leaning of the Supreme Court. The next president is believed to immediately appoint someone to fill the vacancy left by conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, who passed away in February. A court that is currently divided would become 5-4. If Thomas retires, the one-vote edge would possibly continue for conservatives if Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump becomes president. If Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton takes the Oval Office, then she would have the opportunity to replace two Republican seats, which would afford liberal justices a 6-3 majority. The Washington Examiner reports that conservatives are concerned that the liberal majority even could become 7-2 if Republican Justice Anthony Kennedy steps down. Kennedy, who is a swing vote, will turn 80 next year. The Washington Examiner also reported that if Clinton becomes president, the majority liberal court that she would help appoint could keep their positions until at least 2050. However, liberal justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer are also reaching the average age when a justice retires.

Eric Metaxas: America Is Committing 'Suicide' by Turning Away From It's Divine Calling

By Samuel Smith , CP Reporter June 20, 2016|2:27 pm

Eric Metaxas speaking at the In Defense of Christians Inaugural Summit, Washington, D.C, Sept. 11, 2014. New York Times best-selling author and radio host Eric Metaxas is warning that the United States is in danger of becoming "America in name only" if Americans don't stand up to protect the liberties and values of self governance that made the nation a blessing to the entire world. In a new book released last week titled If You Can Keep It: The Forgotten Promise of American Liberty, the 53-year-old Metaxas explains that the American republic was created by the nation's Founding Fathers to be shared with the entire world. But, Metaxas stresses that Americans today have become too complacent with their freedoms and are too willing to give up their ability to govern themselves. He argues that complacency displayed today towards the rights and responsibilities of Americans to hold their governments accountable will cause America, as the world knows it, to perish. "We have to live our lives in this nation in such a way that we are an example to the whole world and they want to have what we have," Metaxas told The Christian Post in an interview last Friday. "Christian faith is at the heart of that idea, it wasn't just a secular idea about a government, it was about a community that had never been tried before where people would live in harmony." "These were ideas that were very new at the time and we forget what a wild and unprecedented idea that self government was when we began this country in 1776," Metaxas said. "We have lost a proper reverence for it. It is a crazy, wild idea that was almost destined to fail unless everything went right. We shouldn't take it for granted." As the secularization of the American society over the last 40-plus years has resulted in crackdowns on religious freedom and limits on faith in the public square, Metaxas asserts that the Founding Fathers understood that faith and virtue are what enable freedom and self governance to flourish. Metaxas relies on the concept known as the Golden Triangle, which he borrowed from British author and social critic Os Guinness, to prove his point. The Golden Triangle is the idea that freedom requires virtue, virtue requires faith and faith requires freedom. "All of the founders, including the ones we think of as somewhat secular — Franklin and Jefferson — knew that a robust expression of Christian faith was at the very heart of the success of the American experiment," Metaxas told CP. "There was no doubt in the minds of any of them that virtue and faith were utterly crucial to the success of this experiment in self government and true liberty for all. The extent that we have forgotten that and utterly pushed that away, we have destroyed the very thing that will allow us to continue to be who we have been and to be better than who we have been. That's a vital part of what we have to relearn." Metaxas writes that the title of the book is a reference to words spoken by Benjamin Franklin when he was asked while leaving the Constitutional Convention whether or not America was to be a monarchy or republic. Franklin's response was, "A republic, if you can keep it." etc. and the news story continues.

If You Value Life, Wake Up!

By Paul Craig Roberts PaulCraigRoberts.org June 21, 2016

Do you remember how close we came to Armageddon in the early 1960s when Washington put nuclear missiles in Turkey on the Soviet Union’s border and the Soviets responded by putting nuclear missiles in Cuba? Fortunately, at that time, we had an intelligent president instead of a cipher. President John F. Kennedy pulled us back from the brink and was assassinated by his own government for his service to humanity. For a number of years, I have been warning that the recklessness of a half century ago has reappeared in spades. The crazed, insane, Nazified, neoconized government in Washington and Washington’s despicable European vassal states, especially the UK, Germany, and France, are driving the world to extinction in a nuclear war. See, for example here. This is the most obvious fact of our time. Yet only the Russian government addresses Washington’s threat to life on earth. Why is this? Why was there no debate—or even mention—in the presidential nomination primaries of the road to nuclear war on which Washington has the world? Washington is putting its nuclear missiles on Russia’s borders, conducting war games on Russia’s borders, and stationing its Navy off Russia’s coasts in the Black and Baltic seas. To cover up its reckless, irresponsible aggression toward a nuclear power, Washington accuses Russia of aggression. Why was there no debate—or even mention—in the presidential nomination primaries of the road to nuclear war on which Washington has the world Washington is putting its nuclear missiles on Russia’s borders, conducting war games on Russia’s borders, and stationing its Navy off Russia’s coasts in the Black and Baltic seas. To cover up its reckless, irresponsible aggression toward a nuclear power, Washington accuses Russia of aggression. The presstitute media—the New York Times, the Washington Post, Fox “News,” CNN, and the rest of the despicable whores repeat the lie over and over until the Western populations are brainwashed. Do you suppose the Russians, who know what is happening, are going to just sit there until they are so completely surrounded by nuclear missiles that they have to surrender? Unless you believe this, you had best get busy saving your life and the life of our planet. Do not expect political leaders to do this for you. There are no political leaders in public office anywhere in the West, only paid puppets of powerful interests groups. Do not expect experts, most of whom are dependent on these same interest groups, to bring influence to bear on government and media. There is no one but us.

The GOP “Dump Trump” Movement Is Gaining Momentum

Dave Hodges

Paul Ryan is doing his best to help Hillary Clinton defeat Donald Trump. In fact, with encouragement from Ryan, it is becoming a distinct possibility that Trump may not be the nominee when the GOP convention concludes next month. There is no way that the establishment and their minions can afford to have a Trump Presidency. This means that in order to dump Trump, the globalists must create a world where up is down and down is up, white is black and black is white. Paul Ryan, much to the detriment of the American people, is where is he is at today because he was willing to ignore the following as if they did not exist: The free trade agreements which have caused the loss of millions of American jobs so that manufacturers could send millions of jobs offshore to cheap foreign labor markets and then turn around and ship these products back into the United States tax free. Trump has pledged to stop this. Ignore the illegal alien crisis which continues to undercut the wages of the working class, thus leading to much lower salaries and higher unemployment for American workers. Support Obamacare and its provision which forces employers to purchase Obamacare medical insurance for its full time employees. This has greatly added to the demise of small businesses. The undermining of American national security through the admission of UNSCREENED Muslims to America. Supporting former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton led State Department policy which protects certain Mosques and Muslims with extreme terrorist ties such as what we saw with Omar Mateen. Ryan is complicit in allowing the same chaos that is destroying Europe with UNSCREENED Muslim immigration, to come to America and destroy this country. His failure to oppose should be construed as tacit support. This attitude has given rise to the attitude that it is acceptable for these Refugee/Resettlement immigrants to support Sharia Law over our Constitutional law. Trump is on the record as opposing each and everyone of the above policies which are destroying America. Most Americans support Trump in this endeavor of putting America first and Making America Great Again! However, most of Congress is on the take and avail themselves to what should be illegal bribery through corporate campaign contributions. In order to keep the gravy train rolling, politicians, like Paul Ryan, are willing forsake their Constitutional oath and oppose Trump’s pro-Constitutional stand on these issues. In fact, Ryan is of such low moral character that he is even willing to destroy the GOP in order to preserve the criminal status quo, while he receives blood money from the corporations. At the end of the day Paul Ryan is partnered with Obama in depriving Americans of their Constitutional liberties and standard of living. In fact, it can now be accurately said that the Speaker of the House supports Democrat and sociopath, Hillary Clinton, in her bid for President over the will of the rank and file of the GOP. Paul Ryan is every bit of a traitor to the American people as are Obama and Clinton. The GOP Is Planning to Dump Trump at the Convention Despite the Will of the People romney ryan 2016 Their is yet another reason that Ryan would forsake the will of the people and work towards the defeat of the people’s choice, Donald Trump. Simply put, Paul Ryan wants to either run for President against Clinton, or at least be on the ticket. This is an irrefutable fact as we consider the following evidence which stands in support of this notion. From the Federal Election Commission website: FEC FORM 1

Title: Form 1 for

I do not see the impotent Romney running for President again. However, I do see Paul Ryan being drafted at the GOP convention as he has filed the same paperwork in order to run as Vice-President. Now that Ryan is registered, he, too, can run for President. This has always been the globalists Plan B. The forces have aligned and in a nonviolent confiscation of the nomination process, the Republicans will ignore the will of the people. The GOP Dump Trump Movement From The Economic Collapse: …Over the past couple of days, the Washington Post, CNN and a whole host of other mainstream news outlets have been reporting on a new “last-ditch effort” that has been launched by Republican operatives to get the Republican convention Rules Committee to unbind all of the delegates and allow them to vote however they want. As you will see below, they can do this, and if they get enough votes they will do it. This current effort is different from what we have seen so far during this campaign season, because it is actually being organized by the delegates themselves. The following comes from the Washington Post… …This movement is being spearheaded by a delegate from Colorado named Kendal Unruh. She is actually a key member of the Republican convention Rules Committee… As Fox News explained, there are basically two courses of action… To prevail, Unruh needs a majority of the 112 members of the convention rules committee, which has two delegates from each state and territory. Then, a majority of the full convention’s 2,472 delegates would have to approve. There’s a Plan B. If Unruh can win over one-fourth support from the rules committee — just 29 delegates — the full convention must vote on her proposal. So far she’s got around 10 supporters… …On Thursday night, Unruh was on a conference call that included at least 30 delegates from 15 different states, and the Washington Post says that regional coordinators for this effort have been recruited “in Arizona, Iowa, Louisiana, Washington and other states…” One individual that took part in this conference call on Thursday night told CNN that calls are pouring in from people all over the country that want to be part of this movement…” I tip my hat to Michael Snyder for uncovering much of this and doing a masterful job of connecting the dots. I would like to ask Unruh, two questions: What bribes have the corporations offered to you? Have you even considered the impact on your children and the rest of the young people in America if your plan succeeds? Because, if Unruh(ly) is successful, Hillary will surely be elected and our children will be condemned to living in a hell hole dominated by free trade agreements, unbridled illegal immigration, the imposition of Sharia Law, the TPP, miserable poverty and the loss of all civil liberties. GOP members like Unruh and Ryan are no better than Clinton. These claims by the Washington Post are bolstered by the fact the Republican Arizona Governor, Doug Ducey, a globalist, was an unexpected no-show at the Trump rally in Phoenix last Saturday. Conclusion As distasteful as the “stop Trump” movement presented here may appear to be, the movement is tame in comparison to what could lie ahead for the American people should Trump secure the nomination. Then it will be no longer a case of stopping Trump. It will be a case of stopping the newly awakened American people. Things could get very, very ugly. America, you living in a period of history that will undoubtedly shape the country and the world for generations to come, and right now it looks like the bad guys are winning hands down. If the upcoming election is to feature some combination of Romney and/or Ryan vs. Hillary Clinton, we might as well have Hitler vs. Stalin in 2016. The implications are obvious and will explored in detail in an upcoming article.

Hillary Clinton Absolutely Ripped To Shreds!

Based On This Amazing, Must-Watch Video, 'The Party Has Just Begun'

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

In the only video below we hear one of the most awe-inspiring speeches that we have heard in a very long time and are given a nearly endless list of why 2016 is the most important election in possibly the history of our fledgling Republic and also witness what may soon be coming about within the general election as Donald Trump's 'warm-up act', Stephen Miller, absolutely decimates Hillary Clinton, ripping her and the never-ending corruption surrounding her to shreds. As if Clinton needed any help what-so-ever in destroying herself after being outed for taking millions of dollars from countries that outright slaughter gays and lesbians, showing us once again what a total hypocrite she is, Miller shows us why the 2016 general election may soon turn into an outright 'political bloodbath' by absolutely ripping into Hitlery and the corruption that surrounds her, proving to us she should be in prison and not running for the highest office in the land. This video also proves to us why America is absolutely doomed if she is somehow (s) elected in November, proving to us here at ANP why America is destined for total destruction if it allows such incredible corruption to continue to enslave and destroy what much of the planet once looked at as the greatest nation on Earth. "It's crucially important that every morning we wake up we're cognizant of just how historic and how rare this opportunity really is because folks, it's not going to come again. I mean, we have been betrayed and let down by politicians year after year after year after year after year." Miller does not hold back on the Clinton crime family: "Our political system sells favors to the highest bidder and no one in this country has done more to sell out our government to the highest bidder than Hillary Rodham Clinton." While putting in 'a plug' for Bernie Sanders, Miller then slams Hitlery again: "In one of the great ironies of this race is that in the year of Bernie Sanders in the Democratic Party, because of the super-delegates they went ahead and nominated the FACE OF SPECIAL INTEREST CORRUPTION in America...nobody has taken more money from special interests in return for more favors than Hillary Clinton". Why would Hitlery take MILLIONS OF DOLLARS from some of the most repressive and brutal regimes in the world; from regimes that make it public policy to EXECUTE gays and lesbians? Why would Hitlery do so and then pretend to be the friend of gays and lesbians? Isn't it time that Americans 'awaken en masse' to the absolute barbaric and hypocritical policies that Hitlery and the Clinton Foundation engage in, policies that HURT all Americans, not just gays and lesbians? We also have proved to you that Hitlery's State Department had ties to the father of Orlando shooter Omar Mateen. Why would Hitlery seemingly WANT gays and lesbians executed and slaughtered by accepting 'dirty money' from nations that do so? Having now been proven as taking money from terroristic governments around the world, some of the most brutal worldwide, should Hitlery even be allowed by law to run for president or any other political office in America? The scandals that surround her are legendary. Republished below is a portion of an email that ANP recently received: For word from the Cornell Law Library and from the Government Publishing Dept. Former United States Attorney General Michael Mukasey tells MSNBC that not only is Hillary Clinton's private email server illegal, it "disqualifies" her from holding any federal office. Such as, say, President of the United States. Very specifically points to one federal law, Title 18. Section 2071. For those of us who do not have United States Code committed to memory, here's what it says: "(a) Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. (b) Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States. As used in this subsection, the term "office" does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the Armed Forces of the United States." Yes, it explicitly states "shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States." Shouldn't voters know that? The media won't tell them. So it's up to us. Can you help hold Hillary accountable? Pass this on, please. Now !! Does anyone believe that this will make a difference ?? Now if Hillary is allowed to run for a office of any kind, it will show us that the Washington D.C. establishment is so much more corrupt than we thought. Whether or not Hitlery is actually prevented from being president or not based upon the information above it's quite clear, America has never been as absolutely corrupted as we are right now. Miller absolutely lambasts 'the evil hypocrite' and how far America has already fallen under her 'guidance' in this video, one that we hope you help go viral as it could be the next step in bringing down the Clinton political regime for once and for all-time, and for the best for America.

Obama's EPA caught covering up high heavy metals pollution across U.S. cities as federal government wages multi-faceted WAR against its own citizens

Tuesday, June 21, 2016 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

(NaturalNews) Our citizen-powered EPA Watch program has now resulted in the open source publishing of heavy metals contamination tests of 230 municipal water samples across America. The results show that two to three per cent of the U.S. water is highly contaminated with toxic heavy metals, poisoning an estimated 10 million Americans with brain-damaging contaminants that surpass EPA limits. Yet the EPA has not alerted Americans to these toxic heavy metals in their water. Just as in the case of Flint, Michigan, the EPA is systematically covering up irrefutable scientific evidence of heavy metals water contamination across America. To discover all this, Natural News volunteers collected water samples from over 230 municipal water sources across America and sent them to my laboratory for testing. My lab, known as CWC Labs, is an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) laboratory with exhaustive expertise in heavy metals analysis. Through meticulous testing of the water samples, we scientifically documented a disturbing pattern of heavy metals water data that's now available to the public. Click here to view the data now at the Natural Science Journal, sorted by zip code. Data points shown in YELLOW indicate 50% or more of the EPA's limit. RED indicates concentrations that exceed EPA limits. Two to three per cent of U.S. municipal water systems are heavily contaminated with copper, arsenic or lead Our data show that two to three per cent of municipal water systems are heavily contaminated with toxic heavy metals. This means as many as 10 million Americans may be consuming heavily contaminated water right now. Yet Obama's EPA -- which also engaged in criminal cover-ups of glyphosate contamination of the food supply -- hasn't said a word about this to anyone. In Flint, Michigan, three local water officials were charged with felony crimes for committing deliberate scientific fraud to hide lead contamination from the public. Yet as this exclusive Natural News investigation reveals, the EPA is engaged in a far wider conspiracy of silence about the heavy pollution of municipal water supplies all across America. Somehow, nobody from the EPA ever gets charged with a crime or goes to prison... is anyone surprised? You'll also notice that the EPA never dares publish raw, unfiltered heavy metals data on U.S. water systems. Instead, just like municipal water quality bureaucrats do, they cherry pick the results they want to "count" while ignoring all the data that show high heavy metals. America is being systematically poisoned, deceived and destroyed by a deliberate enemy force occupying the highest levels of government As a result, the entire nation of America is being systematically lied to about water quality by a crooked, corrupt EPA that has abandoned real science, operating under the deceptive, dishonest Obama regime that also excuses radical Islamic terrorism on U.S. soil. What's next... will Obama enable and then apologize for Islamic radicals poisoning the water supply with deadly radioactive weapons of mass destruction while the EPA looks the other way? Given recent events, it no longer sounds like a kooky conspiracy theory, does it? Suddenly we're all living in an America where our own federal government is actively conspiring against the citizens on a daily basis, supporting enemies who attack us, covering up mass heavy metals poisoning and excusing acts of terrorism that are taking place right in our own communities. Suddenly, Americans are waking up to find that they are now the "enemies" of their own government... a government now run by obvious traitors and criminals in positions of high power who seem determined to destroy this once great nation by any means possible: Poisoning the water, gutting the economy, terrorizing our citizens, welcoming a land invasion of illegals carrying infectious disease, destroying our children with toxic chemicals in deadly vaccines and stripping away our rights and freedoms while constructing a totalitarian surveillance state that offers only suffocation, not security. There is a war on America, and it is being waged by traitors who now occupy the highest offices of the land. The heavy metals poisoning of the water supply is just one small part of this war that's intended to decimate America by attacking the brain function of its citizens; other weapons of mass chemical destruction also include antidepressant drugs, fluoride chemicals in the water supply, glyphosate weed killer in the food supply and hormone disruptors that permeate packaged foods. We are all being deliberate poisoned while the obedient sheeple worship basketball on TV and eat themselves to death with MSG-laced GMO junk foods. Is it any wonder this nation now seems to have passed the tipping point of sanity and descended into a real-world Idiocracy? It is no coincidence that lead and copper -- the two most prominent heavy metals we found in municipal water samples -- both promote cognitive decline, confusion and psychosis. This is precisely the kind of mass confusion (and mental illness) desired by irrational, insane pushers of political criminality who are trying to get the traitor-in-chief Hillary Clinton elected to office. After all, if they can just keep up the deliberate destruction for four more years, there might be nobody left who's capable of fighting back against overarching tyranny... and from that point forward, it all descends into a corporate-government system of runaway fascism, secret police and total censorship of natural medicine, home gardening, home schooling, rainwater collection, self-reliance and even Christianity itself. If Clinton gets elected to office, government medical enforcers will be shooting up your children with vaccines at gunpoint, criminalizing naturopathic medicine, imprisoning herbalists and forcing everyone to eat GMOs. The "good" news in all this is that lead in the water will then be the least of your concerns. And you'll probably be dead anyway, because a totalitarian Clinton regime will be rounding up all independent thinkers and executing them en masse (a la the "cultural revolution" of communist China) in the name of "tolerance."

Hospital Drops Abortionist After Demonic Rant Saying He Loves Killing Babies

National Steven Ertelt, Micaiah Bilger Jun 20, 2016 | 1:37PM San Diego, CA

Last week, LifeNews reported on how a California pro-lifer captured his disturbing exchange with a notorious San Diego abortionist on video. Now, a local hospital has terminated its relationship with the abortion practitioner. Abortionist Robert Santella has a bad reputation with his patients, having faced several disciplinary measures from the California Medical Board. He also has been accused of injuring several patients in botched abortions. Recently, pro-life advocate Zephaniah Mel stood outside Santella’s Family Planning Associates abortion clinic in San Diego and was approached by Santella. The 72-year-old abortionist’s demeanor and remarks are extremely disturbing. At one point, Santella, in a demonic rant, told Mel that he “loves” aborting babies. Now, the pro-life group Operation Rescue says Santella has been dropped by a local hospital: Allyson Smith was appalled by the recent video showing Robert Santella, an abortionist with the Family Planning Associates abortion facility in San Diego, growling in a demonic “freak-out” at another pro-life activist. Smith noticed that during his rant, Santella wore an identification badge from Sharp Healthcare, a group of hospitals throughout San Diego County. Due to her long-time involvement in the pro-life movement, Smith knew exactly what to do. She posted to her Facebook page that she contacted Sharp Healthcare via e-mail on the morning of June 17. Hi there, I would like to bring this video to your attention. The crazed doctor in this video is Robert Santella, who performs abortions at Family Planning Associates on Miramar Road. You’ll notice he is wearing a Sharp Healthcare ID tag. A quick Internet search reveals that he is affiliated with Grossmont Hospital. Why is this “doctor” allowed to be affiliated with Grossmont Hospital? He is nuts and should be fired. What will you do about him? Thanks. Keep up with the latest pro-life news and information on Twitter. Soon, she received a reply from Sharp’s Grossmont Hospital: Hi Allyson: Thank you for your message. We appreciate your concerns regarding this physician, and we can assure you that he is no longer affiliated with any of our hospitals, he is not employed by our medical groups, and he does not practice or have admitting privileges at any of our facilities. We are currently looking into other aspects of this matter, and we will provide updates as we have more information “This is a great example of how much can be accomplished with just a little smartly directed effort,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue, which protested Santella regularly in the 1990s and early 2000s before relocating to Kansas. “Allyson’s letter will probably save a lot women from being subjected to Santella’s unstable behavior.” Santella allegedly botched at least two women’s abortions in 2015 alone, LifeNews reported. Pro-lifers who witnessed one of the incidents said one woman’s mother called 911 for her daughter after Santella and his staff refused to. Santella also has a bad reputation with the California Medical Board and has faced disciplinary measures on several occasions. The medical board also is reviewing a new case alleging that Santella neglected his treatment of five patients, according to the report. “If only the California Medical Board had taken stronger measures with Santella when he showed incompetence in 1984 and 2000, a lot of human misery could have been avoided,” said Newman. “Some people are not fit to practice medicine, and Robert Santella is among them. We pray the Medical Board will take sterner measures to limit his options so he will be forced to look for another line of work. We also pray he gets the spiritual and mental health assistance he obviously requires.”

Unearthed letters cast doubt on Obama's family story

Posted By Jerome R. Corsi On 06/20/2016 @ 8:01 pm In Front Page,Politics,U.S. Barack Obama Sr.

NEW YORK – In newly discovered letters, President Obama’s Kenyan father made no mention of his son, raising further doubt about the personal narrative that helped put Obama on a rapid path to the White House. The New York Times published six letters from a collection of 24 written by Barack Hussein Obama Sr. that were discovered recently in an archives box at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem. The letters dated after Feb. 2, 1961 – the earliest date attributed to the Kenyan’s marriage to Ann Dunham – made no mention of Dunham or their son, the future president, which would have been to his advantage in his desperate effort, as the letters show, to obtain funding for his studies. Barack Obama Jr.’s path to the White House began when he famously introduced himself to the world at the Democratic National Convention in 2004 as the product of an “improbable love” between a Kansas girl and a Kenyan goat herder. Elsewhere, Obama has insisted that the love endured even when his father had to leave a wife and a 2-year-old child behind to pursue dreams at Harvard. In his autobiography, Obama indicated that if only Harvard would have offered enough money to support all three of them, as another school did, they could have stayed together. But the newly discovered letters confirm WND’s reporting that Obama Sr. never lived with Dunham and she left Hawaii with her son only weeks after he was born. Is America headed toward death or rebirth? A former House majority calls America to “Revival! Revolution! Rebirth!” in a new book debuting Tuesday! Barack Obama Jr. said in his autobiography “Dreams from My Father” that the details of the marriage between his father and Dunham remained murky. Various biographies of Dunham, meanwhile, suggest the two were married only after she became pregnant, with Obama in “Dreams” claiming the two were married on an unspecified date in May 1960. In his 2012 book “Barack Obama: The Story,” author David Maraniss claims the Kenyan married Dunham in Maui on Feb. 2, 1961, yet no official marriage certificate has ever surfaced. Financial struggle The letters show that the senior Obama struggled financially to get to Hawaii, where he eventually enrolled at the University of Hawaii in 1959. And letters written in 1961 and 1962 made clear he experienced similar difficulties in his attempt to get to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to begin graduate work at Harvard University. Barack Obama Sr. addressed most of the six letters to his primary financial benefactor in the United States, John Livingstone, a staff assistant at the Washington-based Institute of American-African Relations. In a May 18, 1959, “Application for Financial Assistance” produced by African-American Institute Inc. – a group with the same address listed for John Livingstone – the Kenyan indicated he was married, naming as his wife Kesia Aoko. Obama Sr. abandoned Aoko in Kenya when he left for Hawaii in 1959. On the application, he also indicated he had been accepted at the University of Hawaii to study applied science in the fields of civil engineering and architecture. But he noted that he had not been offered a scholarship. What do YOU think? Has Obama been honest about his family history? Sound off in today’s WND Poll! The Kenyan asked the African American Institute for a grant of $1,300, with $500 for maintenance and $800 for transportation. He listed he had $1,100 available from private funds and a $400 grant from the Laubach Literary Mission Fund, an affiliated group of the Laubach Institute. The institute was known in that era to support the idea of a socialist world without borders. It also showed up listed as a sponsor in the Kenyan’s INS immigration documents. No mention of Dunham On Feb. 8, 1961, some five days after Maraniss claims Obama Sr. married Dunham, Obama wrote to Gordon Hagberg, the director of the African American Institute, at a DuPont Circle address in Washington different from Livingston’s address. In the letter, the Kenyan thanked the African American Institute for the $500 “received for the second semester” and the $500 “received for last semester.” The letter, applying for a scholarship in 1961 discussed in detail Obama’s transcript showing he was carrying a 3.7 grade point average, having just completed seven courses for 21 credit hours, receiving four grades of “A” and two grades of “B.” But the letter, focused entirely on academic considerations, made no mention that he had married a Hawaii woman. It’s a fact he could have referenced to obtain more funding, arguing he had taken upon himself the responsibilities of a student wife and possibly future children. On April 1, 1961, Lee E. Winters Jr., an assistant professor of English at the University of Hawaii, wrote Hagberg a letter endorsing Obama Sr. for a continuing 1961 scholarship. “Beyond purely academic pursuits, Mr. Obama has done an exemplary job of getting along with people and finding out about the local community and its varied nationalities,” Winters wrote, without any mention that Obama had done so well that he had just married a U.S. national residing in Hawaii. “The only serious problem that Mr. Obama has faced in his life here has been financial,” Winters continued. “The cost of living in the Islands is fantastically high, and I sympathize with anyone who has brought any money here from elsewhere, as its purchasing power being so drastically decreased.” ‘Airfare to Harvard is $400’ On June 13, 1962, when his son Barack Obama would have been some eight months old, the Kenyan penned a handwritten letter to Robert L. Sherman, a staff associate of the African American Institute in New York City. In that letter, Obama Sr. makes it clear he had been accepted at Harvard Education, but he had no means to pay for the transportation to get there. “I am graduating here [in Hawaii] on the 17th of this month,” Obama wrote. “I am intending to leave here on the 21st of this month, which means that I have only one week in which to find the money for travel. I am desperate and I shall, therefore, be most obliged if you will let me know what became of the application and whether I am going to get any assistance.” He continued, again without mentioning Dunham or the possibility he might get a transportation loan from Dunham’s parents, both of whom were supposedly gainfully employed at that time. “I am desperate and I have no transportation money,” Obama continued, repeating the urgency of his request. “Unless I get some assistance I will be stranded here. Please let me know about this before the 20th of this month if you can. The fare from here to Harvard is about $400.” While mentioning he also needed money for living expenses once he got there, given that the scholarship he was awarded by Harvard covered only tuition, Obama concluded the letter by repeating the urgency of his request for $400 airfare. “I hope to hear from you very soon, at least about the transportation fare, since I have only one week remaining,” Obama said in closing. “We can talk about my application for assistance while at Harvard when I get there, if not now. This is very urgent.” ‘A hamburger is 50 cents’ Then, on Nov. 28, 1962, when his son in Hawaii would have been some 15 months old, Obama Sr. typed a letter to Robert Sherman, addressed as the director of the Student Assistance Program at the Phelps Stokes Fund in New York City. The letter was sent from Obama’s address on Irving Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. “The Spring term ends on the 4th of February,” Obama wrote. “So far my funds have been running very fast since I have to buy winter clothings (sic). Also rents are very high here. I am therefore counting on your assistance for the Spring term.” The rest of the letter continues with Obama expressing how desperately low he was on money to live in Cambridge and continue his studies, again without any mention of his wife and son left behind in Hawaii or any hint of a suggestion that Obama might have some continuing financial obligations to his abandoned Hawaiian family. “In fact I am surprised that even a hamburger is ¢50 here, a thing I never experienced before,” Obama continued. “The minimum I can live on here is $200. So far I have completely no funds for the second semester.” He asked only for enough money to make it through the next term. “I do not even have anywhere to run except to you,” the Kenyan pleaded. “I shall therefore be most grateful if you will help me with the funds for the next semester as you promised me when I last talked with you when I was in New York. I am sure that if I can get the $1,000 which I applied for I should be able to pull through the second semester.” How Obama Sr. got to Hawaii WND reportedl in 2010 the flight manifest found in the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., debunked President Obama’s claim that his Kenyan father had come to the United States as part of airlift of 81 Kenyan students backed by baseball player Jackie Robinson, which arrived in New York on Sept. 9, 1959. The New York Times article published Saturday corroborates WND’s previous reporting that he set off for the U.S. on an initial flight from Nairobi to Rome. WND also reported in 2010 that Obama’s flight to the United States in 1959 was paid for by Mrs. Helen Roberts and Mrs. Elizabeth Mooney Kirk, “an international literary agent,” a co-author with Charles Laubach, the founder of the Laubach Literary Institute. Kenyan politician Tom Mboya put Obama’s name on a list compiled by the African American Students Foundation of students eligible to receive one of a handful of scholarships in part funded by Jackie Robinson and administered by the Scheinman Foundation. William X. Scheinman was a Wall Street broker who befriended Mboya on a trip to Africa in 1956 and subsequently involve helped finance the students Mboya sent to the U.S. from Africa. WND further reported finding in the archives at the Library of Congress a Sept. 19, 1959, newspaper article authored by reporter Shurei Hirozawa documenting that Obama Sr. arrived at the University of Hawaii with no scholarship and very little money. Obama Sr. “clerked several years in the capital city of Nairobi to save enough for a college education and picked the University of Hawaii when he read in an American magazine about its racial tolerance,” Hirozawa wrote. “But the money he saved will only stretch out for two semesters or less because of the high cost of living in Hawaii, he found out,” Hirozawa continued. “He’ll work, he says, and probably apply for a scholarship.” Leftist activist financed Obama Sr. Leftist activist Cora Weiss provides the answer to who funded Obama Sr.’s education in Hawaii. In a letter dated May 7 to the New York Times, Weiss acknowledged that Obama came to Hawaii on his own. “Barack Obama Sr., who greatly admired Mboya, did not come on the first flight, but he was a member of the airlift generation, arriving here in 1959 with the support of two American women teachers.” Weiss goes on to state that the African American Students Foundation Inc. provided Obama Sr. with three grants, allowing him to continue his studies at the University of Hawaii after his personal savings were exhausted. Shachtman confirms in “Airlift to America,” on page 9, that the African American Students Foundation sent Obama Sr. checks while he was at the University of Hawaii, “in increments of $50 or $150 for expenses, $243 for tuition. Shachtman further noted Obama Sr. “was mostly supported by Mooney, who in 1960 had married an expatriate American, Elmer Kirk, and shortly moved with her husband back to the United States. Shachtman also commented that “some Kennedy money was later used to assist [Obama Sr.] in Hawaii,” although Shachtman failed to provide details. As noted by David Horowitz’s Discover The Networks, Weiss has served since its inception in 1959 as the president of the Samuel Rubin Foundation, named for her father, the Faberge millionaire and secret Communist Party USA member and identified Comintern agent. Horowitz also credits Weiss with being a principal financier and board member of the Institute of Policy Studies that was founded with a 1963 grant from the Rubin Foundation. Weiss’s husband, Peter, is chairman of the Institute of Policy Services board of trustees and a member of the National Lawyers Guild and the National Emergency Civil Liberties Committee, both of which were created as Communist Party front organizations. The Institute of Policy Studies has advanced leftist causes since its foundation. The institute’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., was a place for KGB agents from the nearby Soviet embassy to convene and strategize, . In her May 7 letter to the New York Times, Weiss said the African American Students Foundation was formed after Mboya’s trip to the U.S. in April 1959, seeking scholarships so Kenyans and other East Africans “could secure the education never offered under British colonialism.” According to Weiss, the founders of the African American Students Foundation included William X. Scheinman, singer Harry Belafonte, actor Sidney Poitier, Jackie Robinson, civil rights activists Frank Montero and Ted Kheel, Mrs. Ralph Bunche, Mrs. Chester Bowles “and a host of educators and me.” Weiss noted the African American Students Foundation brought 773 students from Kenya and East Africa to the U.S. between 1959 and 1963.

Obama Administration Has History of Scrubbing Allah from Transcripts

by Aaron Klein20 Jun 20162,913 SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER

TEL AVIV – Monday’s release of the text of Orlando terrorist shooter Omar Mateen’s 9-1-1 call is not the first time the Obama administration purportedly scrubbed “Allah” from a transcript. To this day, the official White House transcript of a Rose Garden ceremony with the father of released soldier Bowe Bergdahl transcribes every word besides Robert Bergdahl’s Arabic declaration of “Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim.” That means “In the name of Allah, the merciful, the compassionate.” The White House website provides a video of the ceremony, at which the controversial prisoner swap for Berghdahl in exchange for five Taliban members who were being held at the detention center at Guantanamo Bay was announced. In the video, Robert Bergdahl can clearly be heard making the declaration to Allah. Yet, here is the relevant portion of the official transcript, as provided by the White House: I’d like to say to Bowe right now, who is having trouble speaking English — (speaks in Pashto) — I’m your father, Bowe. The “Pashto” is actually Arabic. Watch the full video here. (Robert Bergdahl’s Allah remarks begin at 4:05) Afterwards, the Daily Mail cited a report that the Taliban were “thrilled” at the declaration to Allah. The newspaper reported: The Arabic phrase bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim appears prominently in the Koran and means ‘In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful’. Sara Carter, senior Washington correspondent for conservative news network TheBlaze, said her Taliban sources were ‘thrilled’ at the phrase being used. At the time, former CIA officer Clare Lopez explained of the Arabic declaration, “These are the opening words of every chapter of the Qur’an except one (the chapter of the sword – the 9th).” “By uttering these words on the grounds of the WH, Bergdahl (the father) sanctified the WH and claimed it for Islam,” Lopez charged. Brigitte Gabriel of Act for America told Fox News that the expression declares the greatness of Allah, and she called it a “war cry of Allah.” Zuhdi Jasser, an advocate for moderate Islam, told Fox News that he uses the phrase daily in his prayers and that the expression is not necessarily radical. On Monday, the FBI finally released what it said was a full transcript of Mateen’s 50-second call with a 911 operator while he was perpetrating the deadly attack on the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. After first releasing a redacted transcript that deleted references to the Islamic State, the FBI released the full transcript, which included an English translation changing the word “Allah” to “God.” With research by Joshua Klein.

Alert: Very Strange BIOHAZARD Military Drill Set For July Using Foreign Language Services

A military drill regarding a potential biohazard scenario is set to take place in July, and this drill will use Foreign Language Services. Without a doubt, there is something to these exercises that should make us question what is going on? And what is the military preparing for? As Americans, we have a right to know how the government spends our tax dollars, and why the military is training on our streets. Recently a job listing came up in Vermont, placed by the FLSS, which stands for “Foreign Language Services Simulation.” The drill is in July, in Burlington Vermont. The details of this “drill” are far from the usual crisis scenario. The listing on Craigslist was recently deleted by the author. The FLSS teamed with the DOD (as per their about page) will gear up for some “sort of” contamination drill. The exercise will entail; “Some role players/actors will get extremely wet. Prop clothing will be cut off and they will be scrubbed with brushes and a lot of water (possibly cold water).” There are an array of scenarios that come to mind given this description. Some of which could include contamination, disease, fires, health risks and so on. Given the fact that the FLSS is involved in this particular drill, it appears as though this training will potentially contain foreigners. The question from there is, will this drill be about refugees? Or will it be about Foreign troops? Both of which are already within the continental United States. The Vermont drill does house the possibility of being a false flag because also stated within the FLSS’s website is their role in “live” simulations. Foreign Language Services Simulation (FLSS) provides partnership to the Department of Defense by preparing the military for operational support on training fields at home and overseas. Despite our name, our training assets extend beyond integrating and operating with FLS’s. We offer Field Training, Instructional and Technical services involving live, simulated or virtual milieus. What separates FLSS’s training above the others? Our team members possess a wide array of military special operations experience. We have vetted these individuals to become Excellent Instructors, to bestow maximum potential to teammates and to pass down vital knowledge from today’s battlefields. Clearly, training must be current, realistic and relevant. Our instructors practice with teammates until practice makes perfect on: problem solving and reasoning, adaptive leadership skills, cultural/environmental awareness and emerging battlefield technologies. Our comprehensive training capacity covers critical details through training support (project management, scenario development, trainers, observer-controllers, and support staff) and training services (advisors, instructors, subject experts, and training/curriculum development). Furthermore, FLSS supplements staff for administrative, analytical, logistics staff support, strategic/tactical operations and planning, and technical. Failure is not an option. FLSS knows each and every mission places lives and material in the line of fire. This explains our motto: “We’re not looking just to win a contract; we’re looking to do the job right” – About page with their connections to the DOD. It is no secret that the DOD hires contractors to do the dirty work of false flags, it is also no secret that the military entangles itself with the agenda of the Elite, which is why these drills always have both purpose and meaning to the agenda. It is also important to note that not every exercise goes “live” but far too often the drills done by the government have mysteriously coincided with actual events carried out by actors, hence the name “false flag.” UPDATE Another drill is set for Vermont this fall as well, here is the PDF for what that will entail.

« ISIS has found a way to pierce US counter-terrorism defenses | Main | The Orlando Transcript and a Renewed Terrorist Threat » Monday, 20 June 2016 Disruptive Robocalling

Three months ago, I wrote up a worst case scenario for how the US could end up in a civil war this fall. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. The conditions that make the scenario possible are still valid. In fact, in one way it has gotten worse: one of the theoretical methods of disruption that I featured in the scenario was recently used in the real world. In my scenario, robocalling was used to shut down polling places to skew election results and plunge the US into chaos: Robocalls pour in to police departments and polling places in heavily (Rep or Dem) polling locations with bomb/terrorist threats. Widespread poll closures occur. Calls continue until late. This speculation became reality last month when threatening robocalls were used to shut down dozens of schools in at least 21 U.S. states: Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Maryland, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. As many as 10 schools received the threats in some states. Further, in the UK, several schools received a 90-second recorded call from a voice with an American accent promising that "shrapnel" would "take children's the heads off," according to multiple news reports. This was the first time we've ever seen a nation-wide/international use of this technique. It's also likely we'll see it again since: it works, there isn't a clearing house for threats of this type, responders/bureaucrats are extremely risk averse (even more so since Orlando and San Bernardino), and (most importantly) the US phone system is easy to hack. Let's expand on that last point. The reason the US phone system is easy to hack is due to the pervasive influence of the US direct marketing and collections (bad debt) industry. These industries lobby hard at the state level to ensure full hackable access to the system. However, this means it's easy for attackers to exploit the system to do real harm. Here's an example: It's possible to dynamically change the caller ID used on every call you make. This means an attacker can insert fake caller IDs such as "FBI" , "Atlanta Police" etc. to make their calls seem more credible and increase the disruptive impact. Sincerely, John Robb PS: bots will make it possible to automate terrorism....

What Could Go Wrong? Crime Fighting Robots Now Equipped with Self-Defense Instincts

TOPICS: Claire Bernish Robots June 21, 2016 By Claire Bernish

Once thought to be too approachable for their own good — as in, able to efficaciously perform the tasks they’ve been designed to do — robots are now being programmed with self-defense capabilities. Now, robots which, say, patrol for criminal or suspicious activity come with a blend of humanoid characteristics and self-defense programs which prevent them from being perceived as too cute — or too menacing. “Because of all the doomsday scenarios people imagine with robots, their makers have to insert some cuteness,” explained Golden Krishna, a designer with Alphabet’s Google, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. “When humans see a robot that doesn’t have eyes,” said Rodolphe Gelin, SoftBank Group Corp. robotics unit chief scientific officer, “they think it doesn’t care about them.” That perception — however Orwellian it might sound — can be detrimental to a robot’s ability to function on the job in the presence of humans. After several failed design attempts to find the appropriate balance between relatable and threatening — and a number of incidents in which robots faced ‘abuse’ or ‘assault’ by humans — newer robots employ self-defense capabilities. One incident of, well, ‘roboticide’ occurred with the failed experiment of HitchBOT. This cylindrical robot with an LED smile was dropped off on the roadside to see how if robots could “depend on people” — but the experiment came to an abrupt halt when HitchBOT “was found decapitated in Philadelphia last summer,” the WSJ noted. “While the project showed that they can indeed trust humans,” HitchBOT’s creators said generally of robots, “there are also exceptions to the rule.” Experts on the interaction between humans and their new mechanical counterparts observed “robot abuse” in action in Okinawa, Japan, in 2014, when robots designed to assist the elderly in purchasing groceries came under attack by children, who kicked it, beat it with a bottle and bent its neck. “The robot said ‘Someone help me!’ and Ouch, that hurt,” said researcher, Dražen Bršcic, with ATR Intelligent Robotics and Communications Laboratories, as cited by the WSJ. “But it didn’t stop the children.” Those experiments led, in part, to robots with human-like facial features that can also employ defensive tactics if someone gets spooked or wishes to cause harm. Instead of reacting as if they’re being hurt, some newer robots have been designed to simply stop moving altogether — in theory, to cause attackers to lose interest. Thus, the K5 — a robot who performs all the functions of security patrols except offense — was born. The WSJ described the K5: The camera ended up at nose position. A row of ultrasonic sensors, to help it avoid running into people, looks like buttons. A navigation laser resembles a hat. Curved lights are eye-like. The K5 patrols with buddy bots. If someone messes with one, its partner can document the offense. The K5’s shape and 300 pounds offer protection: The lack of edges make it hard for bad guys to lift and steal. Knightscope rents a K5 for $7 and hour or about $60,000 a year. This 5-foot, 3-inch, glossy-white, graffiti-resistant K5 now appears almost neutral and can interact with humans more readily than some previous designs — such as a robot resembling a small tank — but is built with the ‘play dead’ reflex if attacked. Knightscope, the start-up responsible for the K5, sought to create a beat cop robot; and the company’s vice president of marketing and sales, Stacy Stephens — as a former Dallas police officer — has offered input for the project. “When it comes to mischievous activities,” she said in the WSJ, “I know a bit about what people do. While the world might not be quite ready for armed robots-on-patrol, it would be a question worth considering as designs improve and people become familiarized to their presence. Armed, unmanned aerial vehicles — drones — have been responsible for a highly-contentious number of deaths in conflicts around the world, and particularly, the Middle East. Can armed, unmanned, non-aerial, ‘human-esque’ robots really be that far in our future? Below is a video of the K5 in action.

FBI says utility pole surveillance cam locations must be kept secret

"Disclosure of even minor details about them may cause jeopardy," bureau says.

by David Kravets - Jun 15, 2016 2:01pm EDT

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation has successfully convinced a federal judge to block the disclosure of where the bureau has attached surveillance cams on Seattle utility poles. The decision Monday stopping Seattle City Light from divulging the information was expected, as claims of national security tend to trump the public's right to know. However, this privacy dispute highlights a powerful and clandestine tool the authorities are employing across the country to snoop on the public—sometimes with warrants, sometimes without. Just last month, for example, this powerful surveillance measure—which sometimes allows the authorities to control the camera's focus point remotely—helped crack a sex trafficking ring in suburban Chicago. Meanwhile, in stopping the release of the Seattle surveillance cam location information—in a public records act case request brought by activist Phil Mocek—US District Judge Richard Jones agreed (PDF) with the FBI's contention that releasing the data would harm national security. "If the Protected Information is released, the United States will not be able to obtain its return; the confidentiality of the Protected Information will be destroyed, and the recipients will be free to publish it or post the sensitive information wherever they choose, including on the Internet, where it would harm important federal law enforcement operational interests as well as the personal privacy of innocent third parties," Jones ruled. Peter Winn, assistant US attorney in Seattle, won the injunction after telling Judge Jones that "the FBI’s use of the pole camera technique is a powerful tool in FBI investigations of criminal violations and national security threats. Disclosure of even minor details about them may cause jeopardy to important federal interests because, much like a jigsaw puzzle, each detail may aid adversaries in piecing together information about the capabilities, limitations, and circumstances of equipment’s use, and would allow law enforcement subjects, or national security adversaries, to accumulate information and draw conclusions about the FBI’s use of this technology, in order to evade effective, lawful investigation by the FBI" (PDF). The deployment of such video cameras appears to be widespread. What's more, the Seattle authorities aren't saying whether they have obtained court warrants to install the surveillance cams. And the law on the matter is murky at best. Consider that in February, an Ohio-based federal appeals court upheld the firearms conviction of a Tennessee man whose brother's rural farm was monitored for 10 weeks straight by a remote-controlled camera that the authorities installed on a utility pole 200 yards away without a warrant. That ruling conflicted with one issued by a Washington state federal judge who in 2014 tossed an alleged drug dealer's conviction that was gained under the same circumstances—the warrantless spying on a suspect via a webcam attached to a utility pole near his rural Washington state property. In May, the FBI dropped its appeal of that decision without providing any reason. Before abandoning its appeal, the government said (PDF) that it had the right to deploy the webcam without a court warrant because the device was on the public's right-of-way and was akin to a cop's observations from the street. The judge in the case, however, said the Fourth Amendment required that the police needed a warrant to spy. In an e-mail to Ars, Seattle city attorney spokeswoman Kimberly Mills declined to say whether the FBI obtained warrants to install surveillance cams on Seattle City Light utility poles. "The City is in litigation and will have no further comment," she said. Mills suggested we speak with the FBI office in Seattle, and we did. Ayn Dietrich-Williams, an FBI spokeswoman in Seattle, said that "given the ongoing litigation, it would not be appropriate for the FBI to comment." She pointed to Winn's filing as a source of possible answers. In Winn's brief, we discovered a link to "The Attorney General's Guidelines For Domestic FBI Operations." Under the "Particular Methods" section, there's this reference: Use of closed-circuit television, direction finders, and other monitoring devices, subject to legal review by the Chief Division Counsel or the FBI Office of the General Counsel. (The methods described in this paragraph usually do not require court orders or warrants unless they involve physical trespass or non-consensual monitoring of communications, but legal review is necessary to ensure compliance with all applicable legal requirements.) Mocek told Ars that as part of his utility pole cam investigation, "I have learned nothing of related warrants or of a lack thereof." Winn, meanwhile, wrote to Judge Jones that the location information about the disguised surveillance cams should be withheld because the public might think they are an "invasion of privacy." "Because of their close proximity to the subjects of surveillance, unauthorized disclosure of the locations of current or previously installed pole cameras can reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy for those persons under investigation who have not yet been charged. It can also reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of the privacy of innocent third parties not under investigation but geographically near the current or past location of the camera, who may falsely be assumed to be the subject of an FBI investigation," Winn wrote. Winn also said that revealing the cameras' locations could threaten the safety of FBI agents. "Revelation of the subject of an FBI investigation by the unauthorized disclosure of the location of a current or previously installed pole camera can have a devastating impact on an investigation," Winn told Judge Jones. "Armed with such knowledge, a subject would not only be able to evade further investigation by the FBI but would also be able to employ countermeasures to impede further investigation such as destroying, hiding, or otherwise concealing evidence; intimidating or retaliating against cooperating witnesses; or by simply fleeing the jurisdiction. Such disclosure would also allow any individual other than the subject of an investigation who is intent on interfering with or thwarting the investigation to do so. As such, unauthorized disclosure of the location of a pole camera could threaten the safety of the FBI agents involved with the investigation." And if the cameras become "publicly identifiable," Winn said, "subjects of the criminal investigation and national security adversaries of the United States will know what to look for to discern whether the FBI is conducting surveillance in a particular location."

Visium's Sanjay Valvani found dead in apparent suicide after insider trading charge

Business Insider By Rachael Levy June 21, 2016 9:27 AM

(Sanjay Valvani, a portfolio manager at Visium.REUTERS/Lucas Jackson)

Sanjay Valvani, a portfolio manager at Visium Asset Management who was charged with insider trading last week, was found dead Monday night. "We mourn the tragic loss of Sanjay, a devoted father, husband, and friend," Jacob Gottlieb, Visium's founder, said in a statement. "Our thoughts are with his family during this difficult time." A New York Police Department representative said Valvani was found by his wife and left a suicide note. Valvani, 44, turned himself in to authorities last week. He was charged with netting about $25 million for an unnamed investment firm using inside information on the pending approval of a generic drug. Valvani had pleaded not guilty. "This is a horrible tragedy that is difficult to comprehend," Valvani's lawyer, Barry Berke, and partner Eric Tirschwell said in a statement. "We hope for the sake of his family and his memory that it will not be forgotten that the charges against him were only unproven accusations and he had always maintained his innocence." Visium had placed Valvani on leave earlier this year after it announced that it was under investigation. The hedge fund said on Friday that it would shut down its operations. Valvani faced numerous charges, according to the complaint: Valvani was accused of committing securities and wire fraud with a former senior Food and Drug Administration official, Gordon Johnston, from about 2005 through 2011. Valvani "unlawfully obtained highly confidential and material nonpublic information from the FDA about the agency's approval of pending generic drug applications," according to the US attorney's statement. Valvani was also charged with passing material nonpublic info to Chris Plaford, a former Visium portfolio manager, who allegedly traded on that info. Johnston and Plaford have pleaded guilty and admitted their participation in the scheme. The complaint said Valvani instructed Johnston, the former FDA official, about the status and approval of a generic drug, and Johnston passed along that info back to Valvani. Valvani was accused of using that info to bet on two pharma companies that were likely to be affected by the inside tip, allegedly netting about $25 million in trading profits. Valvani was also accused of tipping off Plaford on this info. A representative for the Department of Justice declined to comment on whether Valvani's death would affect the case. Dow Jones earlier reported that the death was an apparent suicide. *An earlier version of this article said that Valvani was found dead Tuesday morning. It has been corrected.

China creates world’s fastest computer without relying on US hardware for first time

Published time: 21 Jun, 2016 13:12

A Chinese supercomputer has been named the world's fastest computer for the seventh year in a row – but unlike previous winners, this year's champion uses only Chinese-designed processors, representing a decline of US dominance in the field. The new titleholder, the Sunway TaihuLight at the National Supercomputing Center in Wuxi, was developed by China's National Research Center of Parallel Computer Engineering & Technology. The supercomputer uses Chinese-developed ShenWei processors, “ending any remaining speculation that China would have to rely on Western technology to compete effectively in the upper echelons of supercomputing," said a statement by the TOP500 project ranking the world's fastest supercomputers. It is capable of 93 petaflops, or quadrillion calculations per second, according to TOP500. It was designed for use in engineering and research, including in the fields of climate, weather, life sciences, advanced manufacturing, and data analytics. The TaihuLight will be introduced at the International Supercomputing Conference in Frankfurt, Germany, on Tuesday. "As the first No. 1 system of China that is completely based on homegrown processors, the Sunway TaihuLight system demonstrates the significant progress that China has made in the domain of designing and manufacturing large-scale computation systems," Guangwen Yang, director of the Wuxi center, was quoted as saying in the TOP500 statement. Other countries with computers in the Top 10 were Japan, Switzerland, Germany, and Saudi Arabia. In addition to beating out US computers, China also surpassed the US for the first time as the country with the most supercomputers in the top 500. China had 167 systems and the US had 165. Japan took third place with 29 systems. China's developments serve as evidence of dwindling US dominance in the field, with TOP500 organizers saying: “Considering that just 10 years ago, China claimed a mere 28 systems on the list, with none ranked in the top 30, the nation has come further and faster than any other country in the history of supercomputing.” Defined as a computer that performs at or near the highest operational rate for computers, supercomputers are one of a series of technologies being used by China's ruling Communist Party for development. The technologies have received huge financial support in the country.

Russia successfully test-fires anti-ballistic missile – Defense Ministry

Published time: 21 Jun, 2016 08:08 Edited time: 21 Jun, 2016 14:55

The Russian Air Force has test-fired a domestically built short-range anti-ballistic missile to verify its performance. The system is already in use with the military as part of Russia’s missile defense shield. The short-range anti-ballistic missile (ABM) was successfully test-fired at 7.00am local time on Tuesday from the Sary-Shagan testing ground in Kazakhstan, the Russian Defense Ministry’s press service said, according to TASS. The missile defense system is capable of neutralizing a possible nuclear strike on Russia, and ensures operation of national command and control systems in real-time mode, the statement added. A newer missile defense system is expected to replace it in the future, utilizing upgraded software and modernized ABMs. The anti-ballistic missile performed well during the test and hit its target on schedule, Lieutenant General Viktor Gumenny, deputy commander of the Russian Air Force, told TASS. Russia has been developing a missile defense shield for several decades to secure strategic military balance with the US. The A-135 anti-ballistic missile system is currently deployed around Moscow. It comprises dozens of interceptor missiles and sophisticated early warning radars. The system, operated by the Air and Missile Defense Command of the Russian Air Force, is compliant with the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty from which the US unilaterally withdrew in 2002. America keeps developing its own systems, including in Eastern Europe, where NATO is building Aegis Ashore ground-based missile defense sites. The bloc’s missile defense compound in Deveselu, Romania, became operational in May. Poland plans to obtain a similar base within two years. Washington insists the Aegis Ashore systems are for “defensive purpose only,” arguing they would help protect European allies from Iran or North Korea’s missile threats. Moscow says the systems can be easily adapted to deploy offensive weapons. “The missiles are put into a capsule used for launches of sea-based Tomahawk missiles. Now they are placing their antimissiles there, which are capable of engaging a target at a distance of up to 500 kilometers [310 miles],” Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) on Friday. “We know year by year what will happen, and they know that we know,” he said, adding that Western officials “pull the wool over [their news outlets] eyes,” who in turn misinform their audiences. Russian leaders have previously said Washington’s missile defense plans in Eastern Europe leave Moscow with no choice but to target countries hosting such systems, stressing that Russia’s next-generation ballistic missiles are capable of penetrating any adversary missile defense shield.

(2nd LD) N. Korea preparing Musudan missile launch: source

2016-06-21 15:33 Normal FontLarge Font

(ATTN: UPDATES with background in last 8 paras)

North Korea appears to be preparing to launch a Musudan intermediate-range ballistic missile from the east coast, a South Korean government source said Tuesday, with Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) confirming that the reclusive country could move forward with another test fire. "We are closely watching after detecting signs that the North is moving toward the launch of what appears to be a Musudan missile," the source said on the condition of anonymity. Currently, the North appears ready to deploy a mobile launcher vehicle loaded with the missile to its east coast, according to the source. The JCS later said, "Our military is closely tracking related signs with the possibility of the North's additional missile launch being a consideration." Shortly before South Korea's confirmation, Japan's Kyodo news agency reported that the North is preparing to fire a ballistic missile. The media outlet said surveillance detected preparations to launch a missile loaded onto a mobile launcher. It speculated that the missile could be a Musudan. It said the launch could take place on Saturday, the date the 1950-53 Korean War broke out, or June 29 when the North is scheduled to hold the Supreme People's Assembly. The report also said Japan's Defense Minister Gen Nakatani has given the order to shoot down any North Korean missiles that violate Japan's airspace or territorial waters. With an estimated range of some 3,000 to 4,000 kilometers, the Musudan missile could theoretically reach anywhere in Japan and as far as Guam. North Korea has deployed some 50 Musudan missiles with its forces since 2007, but the country first test-fired them on April 15. The first test and two more launches, both on April 28, all ended in failure. On May 31, the North conducted its fourth Musudan launch test, although this attempt also ended in failure. Such back-to-back launch failures have stoked speculations that the North may not give up its test of the Musudan ballistic missile. South Korea's foreign ministry warned of action at the international level should the North launch another missile in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions. "This would further isolate the North from the international community, and in such an event our government plans to take steps, including at the U.N. together with our allies," ministry spokesman Cho June-hyuck said during a regular press briefing. The U.N. Security Council slapped the toughest sanctions yet on the North in March in response to its fourth nuclear test in January and its long-range rocket launch in February.

Large-scale motion detected near San Andreas Fault System

"We were able to break down the noisy signals to isolate a simple vertical motion pattern that curiously straddled the San Andreas fault," researcher Samuel Howell said.

By Brooks Hays | June 20, 2016 at 2:03 PM

HONOLULU, June 20 (UPI) -- Analysis of GPS data has revealed new areas of motion around the San Andreas Fault System. Using data collected by the EarthScope Plate Boundary Observatory's GPS array, researchers identified 125-mile-wide "lobes" of uplift and subsidence. Over the last several years, the lobes, which straddle the fault line, have hosted a few millimeters of annual movement. Computer models simulating the San Andreas Fault System have predicted such crustal movement, but the areas of motion hadn't been physically identified until now. Researchers used advanced statistical modeling to identify the movement among the inevitable statistical noise that comes with monitoring minute movements in the Earth's crust. "While the San Andreas GPS data has been publicly available for more than a decade, the vertical component of the measurements had largely been ignored in tectonic investigations because of difficulties in interpreting the noisy data," lead author Samuel Howell, a researcher at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, explained in a news release. "Using this technique, we were able to break down the noisy signals to isolate a simple vertical motion pattern that curiously straddled the San Andreas fault." The validity of the vertical patterns was confirmed by the fact that similar motions were predicted by an earthquake model designed by researchers at the University of Hawaii's School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology. "We were surprised and thrilled when this statistical method produced a coherent velocity field similar to the one predicted by our physical earthquake cycle models," said researcher Bridget Smith-Konter. "The powerful combination of a priori model predictions and a unique analysis of vertical GPS data led us to confirm that the buildup of century-long earthquake cycle forces within the crust are a dominant source of the observed vertical motion signal." Researchers say their new findings -- published in the journal Nature Geosciences -- could help scientists use smaller lobes of vertical motion to predict more significant ruptures.

Hundreds of families are evacuated as record-breaking heatwave gripping the Southwest kills four and feeds massive wildfires across three states, scorching thousands of acres At least four people have died from the blistering heat that has gripped the western United States, authorities said Three hikers and a mountain biker died in Arizona on Sunday, where record-breaking temperatures were reported The heatwave has fed wildfires in California, New Mexico and Arizona, forcing evacuations in some areas Twin wildfires in Azusa and Duarte in California burned through at least 3,500 acres in the San Gabriel Mountains Some 140 families were evacuated in the Santa Barbara area where about 2,000 firefighters have been battling the so-called Sherpa fire that has already burned nearly 8,000 acres

By Associated Press and Dailymail.com Reporter Published: 12:48 EST, 20 June 2016 | Updated: 08:47 EST, 21 June 2016

At least four people have died from the blistering heat that has gripped the western United States and fed wildfires across three states, forcing hundreds of homes to be evacuated, authorities said on Monday. The dead were three hikers and a mountain biker who succumbed to the heatwave in Arizona on Sunday, where record-breaking temperatures were reported in some areas. The mercury hit 118 in Phoenix on Sunday, according to the National Weather Service, breaking a record of 115 set for the date nearly 50 years ago. Some people in Arizona noticed the thermometers in their cars had spiked, with temperatures reading in the 120s. Larry Subervi, spokesman for the Phoenix fire department, said temperatures on Sunday had soared to 120 degrees and the crushing heat was expected to get worse on Monday before easing the rest of the week. He said one of the victims was an experienced 28-year-old female mountain biker who had embarked on a two-and-a-half-hour ride in the Phoenix area with enough water, but got overwhelmed by the heat. The other victims were a 25-year-old man who died while hiking on the Peralta Trail near Gold Canyon, a 19-year-old woman who died while hiking in the Tuscon area and a man who was found dead near another trail. 'We have a heatwave every year, but we are close to our all-time record in 1990 of 122 degrees Fahrenheit (50 Celsius),' he told AFP. The heatwave has fed wildfires in California, New Mexico and Arizona, forcing evacuations in some areas. Some 140 families were evacuated in the Santa Barbara area of California where about 2,000 firefighters for several days have been battling the so-called Sherpa fire that has already burned nearly 8,000 acres (3,200 hectares). Meanwhile, twin wildfires in Azusa and Duarte burned through at least 3,500 acres in the San Gabriel Mountains on Monday, according to the LA Times. The fires have forced around 750 residents to evacuate. Tawni Atencio was on the way to basketball practice with her mother when her stepfather called and told them they had to evacuate their home northeast of Los Angeles because of a wildfire. The 17-year-old Atencio says her mom turned the car around Monday and drove straight to their home in Bradbury, in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. They went back to get family photos, their two dogs, clothes, and their five cars and a boat. Atencio says the flames were just a couple miles from their home and were making the house hot despite air-conditioning. The teenager says the fire is crazy and scary but also that it was 'kind of cool' watching helicopters drop retardant on the blaze. Atencio says she's at a friend's house in Long Beach, California, while her family finishes evacuating. Meanwhile, another wildfire in Potrero, California, a small desert town close to the Mexican border forced 75 people to evacuate, Fox News reports. Authorities say a wildfire in eastern Arizona that doubled in size to nearly 42 square miles is burning in an area with sparse vegetation. Navajo County spokesman Adam Wolfe said Monday afternoon that 300 residents of the community of Cedar Creek have been warned to prepare to leave. He says the southern edge of the fire is still about 2½ miles north of the community. Multiagency operations chief Todd Abel says the fire isn't moving quickly toward Cedar Creek because of shifting winds. Some 770 firefighters are fighting the fire along with 37 engines, seven bulldozers, 11 water tenders, seven helicopters and four single-engine air tankers. Fire officials say additional resources have been ordered. The fire began Wednesday and its cause is under investigation. In New Mexico, the Dog Head fire about 30 miles (48 kilometers) south of Albuquerque has also damaged two dozen homes and scorched nearly 18,000 acres, forcing evacuations, officials said. They said that as of Monday morning, only nine per cent of the fire had been contained. Another fire caused by lightning near Cibola National Forest, in New Mexico, has eaten up more than 36,000 acres and was 30 per cent contained. The fire, which started on May 21, was expected to be contained by late July. Meanwhile, a flight from Houston heading to Phoenix had to return to the Texas airport because of complications from the heat. The United Airlines flight got as far as New Mexico before it was forced to turn around. In Southern California, the National Weather Service reported 17 daily heat records were broken on Sunday, most for readings well over 100 degrees. The aptly named desert town of Thermal about 25 miles southeast of Palm Springs saw a high of 119 degrees. Burbank was a record 109, breaking the old mark of 104. More of the same was in the works for Monday due to high pressure over the Four Corners region of the Southwest. 'We're expecting something similar with highs around 115 to 120, with the warmest areas in Southern California,' National Weather Service meteorologist Bianca Hernandez said. Southwestern residents commiserated on social media about the sweltering heat by posting photos of boiling temperature readings on car thermometers and cellphones. Some people ventured outside for quick errands. Kim Leeds, 28, had to take her dog Bo outside in the afternoon for a bathroom break. The Australian shepherd wears special booties with rubber bottoms that help protect his paws from hot pavement. 'He does really well with them. He doesn't mind walking around,' Leeds said. Preparing to enter her fourth summer in Phoenix, Leeds also decided to experiment with her car. 'I'm totally reveling in this experience because I'm actually baking cookies in my car,' Leeds said. 'I've been here long enough that I've got to do these things.' Others took advantage of discounts at Phoenix-area resorts, where summer can be the slow season. Hotel guests got an early start Sunday at the JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort and Spa as temperatures climbed. Several guests swam in the pool and sat under umbrellas sipping water and other iced drinks to cool off. State regulators urged residents to cut consumption of electricity Monday, when the heat wave was expected to peak. Firefighters made some progress against a blaze putting hundreds of homes and popular seaside campgrounds near Santa Barbara at risk when overnight winds pushed flames into previously burned areas. But officials warned of high heat, low humidity and gusty winds through Tuesday for the rugged coastal slopes. The blaze was more than halfway contained after burning more than 12 square miles since Wednesday, but 270 structures are still threatened. In central New Mexico, a 28-square-mile fire that erupted last week and destroyed 24 homes in the Manzano Mountains south of Albuquerque was largely uncontained. But higher humidity overnight allowed crews to strengthen lines around the fire and keep a lookout for hot spots where flames could jump the line. In eastern Arizona, a fire doubled to nearly 42 square miles and led officials to warn a community of 300 residents to prepare to evacuate. But the blaze on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation southwest of Show Low was not moving quickly toward the community of Cedar Creek because of sparse vegetation and shifting winds.

Israel and Turkey on the verge of an agreement

By NIMROD GOREN \ 06/20/2016 21:25

A new chapter in Israel-Turkey relations seems to be quickly approaching, producing a set fresh of bilateral and regional opportunities that are waiting to be explored and acted upon. Israel and Turkey have been conveying to their publics positive messages about progress in the bilateral negotiations toward a reconciliation agreement. Expectations are that a deal may be announced following the next round of talks, planned for the second half of June, and reconciliatory messages have been voiced in mid- June by the Turkish prime minister as well as by Israeli government officials. The agreement is set to upgrade Israel-Turkey relations to full diplomatic ties, and enable a return to normal relations. Major differences will remain between the two countries (including on Israel’s policies toward the Palestinians), but the two countries will be able to return to constructive working relations, as was the case in the first years of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in power, starting in late 2002. Israel and Turkey have been engaged in negotiations to try and mend relations for several years, since the flotilla incident occurred in May 2010. This process had many ups and downs, moving between progress and setbacks. But the fact that despite the growing mistrust and harsh rhetoric the two sides have found their way time and time again to the negotiation table means that they both see value in improving the relationship. A public opinion poll carried out by the Mitvim Institute in late 2015 showed that for the Israeli public, security cooperation is the most important reason to mend ties with Turkey. However, possible export of Israeli natural gas has become an important factor as well. While security and economics are important driving forces, the new chapter of Israel-Turkey relations should include more enhanced civil society cooperation among NGOs and think tanks, including in the fields of conflict resolution and democracy. For example, over the past four years, the Mitvim Institute and GPoT Center have been working together to support the mending of Israel-Turkey relations, and this cooperation can be a positive model for others. There is also an initiative to launch a Turkey-Israel Civil Society Forum, which can help fill a real gap in the field of cooperation between NGOs. A key pillar in the agreement relates to Gaza. Efforts have been made to find a formula that will address Turkey’s concern about living conditions there, and Israel’s concern regarding security threats. According to media reports, Turkey will be granted somewhat of a special status in regard to Gaza, which will enable it to support the people of Gaza through providing humanitarian aid, as well as water and energy. Such a formula can enable Israel to improve living conditions in Gaza, without having Hamas be able to claim credit for it. Turkey will be seen as the one to praise for this achievement. Other regional actors are also of significance. Saudi Arabia, which is gradually becoming a more important factor in the geo-political landscape of the Middle East, is also becoming more relevant to Israel- Turkey relations. Although Israel- Saudi relations do not formally exist, there is increased visibility to contacts between the two states (i.e. joint panels of Israeli and Saudi speakers in various conferences). The Saudis have also stepped up their cooperation with Turkey, and the close relations emerging between Saudi Arabia and Egypt can be valuable for attempts to mend Turkey-Egypt relations. Efforts in this regards have reportedly already taken place. This is something that Israel should encourage, as a parallel Israel-Turkey and Egypt-Turkey reconciliations will shape a much more positive, and win-win, environment in the eastern Mediterranean. A new chapter in Israel-Turkey relations seems to be quickly approaching, producing a set fresh of bilateral and regional opportunities that are waiting to be explored and acted upon. The Israeli-Turkish reconciliation should be seen as a first step in devising a new win-win regional architecture in the eastern Mediterranean, and not merely as a way to increase security coordination and to better confront joint threats.

Hamas and Egypt Make Amends?

The Truth About the Dangerous Detente

By Oren Kessler and Grant Rumley June 21 2016

A steady stream of reports in recent weeks has suggested that Egypt is burying the hatchet with Hamas. The Washington Post saw an “unlikely alliance” between the two, Al-Monitor floated the prospect of “reconciliation,” and Haaretz suggested that Cairo is offering the group “another chance.” In short, the reports suggest the two sides are setting aside decades of animosity to confront the shared threat posed by Sinai Province, the affiliate of the Islamic State (ISIS) in the Sinai Peninsula. If it sounds like a stretch, it’s because it is. The first notions of a budding Egypt–Hamas rapprochement appeared in March, when Cairo welcomed a rare delegation of Hamas political figures from the Gaza Strip, which the group controls. Egypt also reportedly began tamping down on anti-Hamas rhetoric in official media. The following month, Hamas deployed forces to Gaza’s border with Egypt in a bid to show Cairo that it is serious about stopping smuggling of arms to Sinai Peninsula fighters. Egypt and Hamas have a long and acrimonious history, and contrary to reports of an imminent rapprochement, their relationship remains icy. Hamas has fostered a black-market tunnel economy in Gaza for nearly a decade, ever since Egypt and Israel blockaded the Strip after Hamas seized power there in 2007. That smuggling network, in turn, has simultaneously enriched and armed Sinai Province, whose insurgency has killed hundreds of Egyptian servicemen since the 2011 ouster of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Since the military’s 2013 ouster of Mubarak’s Islamist successor, Mohamed Morsi, the military has waged a fierce campaign against the tunnels, destroying as many as 2,000 and creating a half-mile long “buffer zone” between Israel and Egypt. In this case, “buffer zone” is a euphemism for razing thousands of homes to make life difficult for would-be smugglers. In talks to end Israel’s 2014 war with Hamas, it was Cairo that took the strongest position against allowing Hamas to build a seaport to Gaza or easing the blockade on the Strip. Moreover, Hamas is an acknowledged offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Egyptian army’s decades-long nemesis, which it removed from power along with Morsi before jailing tens of thousands of its members. Egyptian officials have described the Brotherhood as the “mother” of all other extremist groups, and tend to view ISIS, Hamas, and the Muslim Brotherhood as three heads of the same terrorist beast. Cairo labels Hamas’ military wing a terrorist organization, and has accused it, in league with the Muslim Brotherhood, of the June 2015 assassination of its top prosecutor, Hisham Barakat. One of the deepest veins of Egypt-Hamas tension is the latter’s relationship with Sinai Province. It is true that Hamas and ISIS have significant ideological differences. ISIS has declared Hamas an apostate group and has denounced its Brotherhood parent group for engaging in the political process rather than joining the global jihad. For its part, Hamas has slammed ISIS for distorting Islam, as when the group beheaded 21 Egyptian Christians last year on a Libyan beach. Still, the two groups have previously shown themselves willing to set aside ideology for the sake of their own financial and strategic gain. Hamas might well view ISIS as a threat to its rule in Gaza (Hamas forces regularly clamp down on Salafi preachers in the enclave), but it has no qualms about supporting ISIS’ efforts against the Egyptian military in Sinai. Indeed, if there is any rapprochement occurring across the Egypt-Gaza frontier, it is between Hamas and Sinai Province. Both Egyptian and Israeli officials have cited intelligence that the two groups are growing close. Arms smuggling has diminished in recent months—a result of Egypt’s relentless campaign against Hamas’ tunnels—but otherwise, the relationship between Hamas and Sinai Province is business as usual. Hamas has provided medical care to dozens of Sinai Province fighters in Gaza over the last ten months, and a number of former Hamas activists have found their way into the peninsula to join the ISIS affiliate. All of this proceeds under the watchful eye of Hamas’ military wing. Hamas’ political leaders have refused to weigh in on the extent to which they support Sinai Province, thus allowing the military wing to handle the relationship (including by transferring anti-tank missiles) with almost full autonomy. Still, Hamas is playing with fire: the more it treats wounded ISIS fighters or hosts high-level ISIS commanders, the more support for the jihadist group is likely to rise within Hamas’ ranks. It will also face increased pressure from Egypt, which has responded to Hamas’ growing collusion with ISIS by clamping down on transit points between Gaza and Sinai. For example, Cairo has kept Rafah Crossing—Gaza’s one official entrance point to Egypt—largely closed this year, opening it for just six days over the past three months. Squeezed by Egypt on one side and Israel on the other, Hamas has striven to persuade Cairo that it means no harm. Last month, Hamas officials claimed that the group had saved Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi from a plot hatched by the rival Palestinian movement Fatah (a bizarre claim given Egypt’s closeness to the latter). More recently, Hamas has doubled down on its insistence that its struggle is limited to fighting Israel, and has “nothing to do with Egypt.” Beyond the talking points, however, old enmities die hard. Egypt and Hamas continue to have fundamentally divergent interests, ones that don’t lend themselves to quick fixes. With mutual animosity running this deep, rumors of any reconciliation between Egypt and Hamas are just that.

From ISIS Spy to Follower of Jesus: "I Hate Those People and They Show Me Love"

Chris Mitchell : Jun 21, 2016 : CBN News

(Vienna, Austria)—[CBN News] Europe faces an unprecedented threat from members of the Islamic State infiltrating the continent. That should send a sober warning to the West. (Photo: CBN News)

Several years ago, Pastor Ghassan Thomas fled Bagdad when Islamists threatened him and his family. He went to Turkey and started a church to reach out to other refugees. "I go everywhere because I was a refugee and I can put myself in their shoes and I understand them," Thomas told CBN News. One day, ISIS sent a spy into Pastor Thomas' church. The visit led to a life-changing decision and also provided an opportunity to learn more about ISIS. Pastor Thomas arranged a phone call for us with a man we'll call "Mohammed." We won't disclose his identity or location for his protection. After greetings in Arabic, he said, "Hello my dear brothers" and began to explain his job within the terror group. When ISIS killed a family inside their house, he would go back and kill anyone who was still alive. "In that time, I think in this way: I should kill. I should do many bloody things just to be close with my Allah," he said. Mohammed says this blood lust motivates ISIS. "For sure it will be more and more since it's in the Koran," he explained. "If you are not a Muslim, you need to be a Muslim or we should kill you and take your everything—financial, women and everything. This is in the Koran." Fighting between Sunni ISIS and Shiite militias often put Mohammed's own life in danger. For his safety, family members told him to flee to Turkey. As a devout Muslim, he obeyed his parents. His opportunity came when ISIS sent him to spy on Pastor Thomas' church. But Mohammed also had his own questions about Jesus. "I saw the people, how they welcomed me and they don't know me," he recalled. "And I hate those people and they show me love." They prayed for Mohammed and it changed his life. (Photo: Aimee Herd) "When they pray for me, I start to cry like a child. And I feel like something come out of my body—very heavy," he said. "When I finished the service, I went home, but there is a Person walking with me, just talking, but I feel like I'm not on the earth. I said, 'am I flying? I don't feel like I'm walking. Like Someone carry me.'" Then Mohammed began reading the Bible and comparing it to the Koran. "I went there and discovered this is the God I'm trying to find. This is the true God. This is what I want for my life," he said. Pastor Thomas says Mohammed's change of heart means the church in Europe needs more workers. "For this reason, we need some people [to] come and serve God in Europe with the refugees, just to wake them up—to be against what ISIS do," he said. This former ISIS member expects more attacks like the one in Brussels. He delivered a warning for Europe. "Do you think there's a great danger to Europe right now? For sure! It's a huge thing. They should wake up," he said.

Trump adviser tells Israel to wait to sign military aid deal

David Freidman says presumed GOP nominee would likely increase assistance so Israel maintains its ‘military and technological superiority in region’

By Stuart Winer June 22, 2016, 11:45 pm

A senior adviser to Donald Trump said Wednesday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should wait for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee to win the White House before signing a military aid deal with Washington, because Trump would offer a better deal than the Obama administration. In an interview with Channel 2 television David Friedman said that a Trump administration would maintain Israel’s military advantage over its neighbors. He said Trump would not reduce defense aid to Israel but “in all likelihood will increase it significantly.” “The aid package will certainly not go down in all likelihood it will go up in a material amount because Israel must maintain a technological and military superiority within the region,” Freidman said. “I can’t give advice how Israel should bargain and develop its own strategy.” Friedman’s suggestion that Trump would increase aid to Israel apparently ran contrary to the GOP candidate’s call to make Israel pay back foreign aid. In March, Trump said he believed Israel should pay for defense aid it receives from the US. Asked whether he believed the Israeli government should pay for American defense, as he had called for other US allies such as South Korea, Japan and Saudi Arabia to do, he said “I think Israel will do that also, yeah, I think Israel do—there are many countries that can pay and they can pay big league.” His comments came as Jerusalem and Washington grapple over a new 10-year defense aid pact to replace the current one, which expires in 2018 and grants the Jewish state more than $3 billion per year. “Certainly the Trump administration is not looking to cut back on foreign aid and in all likelihood will increase it significantly,” Friedman said. Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman (Yisrael Beytenu) asserted Tuesday that Israel and the US government were close to finalizing the multi-billion-dollar defense aid package. “We need a good agreement within an appropriate amount of time and I see no contradiction between the two. I believe we can reach an agreement by November,” Liberman said in reference to the negotiations. Liberman spoke ahead of an unveiling ceremony in Forth Worth, Texas, of the first F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jet coming off the production line for Israeli delivery. The US and Israel started negotiating a renewal of the 10-year defense package last summer, shortly after the completion of the Iranian nuclear deal. The memorandum of understanding, as the aid package is formally known, is one of the underpinnings of the US-Israel relationship, and is likely to encompass some $5 billion in defense assistance during the next 10-year period. Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

TEL AVIV – Recent corruption scandals may jeopardize stability in the West Bank, with Palestinians turning their ire on the Palestinian Authority and not just Israel, an Arab intelligence source told Breitbart Jerusalem.

by Aaron Klein and Ali Waked22 Jun 2016

The Palestinian media reported this week that cronies of Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah, presidential advisor Mahmoud Al-Habash, and Director of Intelligence Majed Faraj, were appointed to lofty public positions amid mounting unemployment among university graduates. It was reported that Habash’s son was hired as a state prosecutor even though he graduated from university with a mediocre overall grade of 53 percent. Rattled by the public outcry, PA President Mahmoud Abbas’ associates went on the defensive and accused his challenger, Fatah strongman Mohammed Dahlan, of waging a smear campaign against the president. The Arab source said that intelligence reviews indicate that Abbas’ popularity hit rock bottom against the backdrop of the corruption scandals and the diplomatic stalemate vis-à-vis Israel. He added that a popular uprising in the West Bank is not an unlikely scenario – only that this time it could be directed against Abbas and not just Israel. “The Palestinian Authority that has so far proved immune to the Arab Spring could witness the rise of a popular resistance movement, a ‘Palestinian Spring’ that would seek to expunge Abbas along with corruption at the top,” he said.This scenario has far-reaching ramifications, he said, and not only in the domestic arena, “because the group getting most of the fire is the one in charge of security coordination with Israel and the US, which is why we follow with concern what seems like loss of control in some areas, especially in the big refugee camps in Nablus, Jenin, and around Ramallah. “The population there is poorer and more distressed but also the population is less tolerant of corruption. We’ve seen clashes between PA forces and gunmen in the Balata refugee camp in Nablus, as well as in Jenin and the Alamaari refugee camp near Ramallah, and Jerusalem.” Abbas’ fate has become the talk of the day in Arab capitals, especially Cairo, Amman, and Riyadh, he added. “A destabilization process in Palestine, which could in turn be turned against Israel, may well fan the already high flames of the region,” he said. Palestinian politics feature in Israeli-Jordanian and Israeli-Egyptian discussions as well, he said “Everybody is concerned about Abbas losing control,” he said. “The problem is that even if the peace process started again, it wouldn’t address the corruption issue, which the Palestinians have decided they are fed up with regardless of regional matters.”

Hondo residents rally to save iconic 'God's Country' signs

Calberg, KENS 2:45 PM. CDT June 22, 2016

HONDO - There are some things you just don't mess with in Texas. In Hondo, it's iconic signs that have been challenging travelers for decades. For about 80 years, the "God's Country" signs beside Highway 90 have been greeting both east and westbound visitors, urging them to slow down and enjoy the scenery. "Welcome," they proclaim, "This is God's Country please don't drive through it like hell." But now, city leaders say the town's most famous landmarks are being threatened. Hondo Mayor James Danner says the first shot fired on city hall came in the form of an email. The Freedom From Religion Foundation asked that the signs be removed from city property in the name of separation of church and state. "It went into some legalities about freedom of religion and all that and then at the end, they said we respectfully ask you to remove your sign," Hondo Mayor James Danner said. According to Mayor Danner, reaction to the threat has been immediate and intense. Mike Daylong snorted, "That's B*****IT! You leave that one alone." "People have rights, and ah, religious rights," another resident of Hondo proclaimed. An army of Hondo residents is rallying to save the signs. Shirts featuring an image of the sign are selling fast at a local retailer and a Facebook page devoted to the effort is getting a lot of attention. The Mayor says no court action has been filed, but he expects it. He also expects they will fight back with every legal remedy they can.

1 million Christians on National Mall, unified in Jesus, is goal of July 16 event

by Michael Foust | 22 June, 2016

WASHINGTON (Christian Examiner) – Evangelist Nick Hall looks back at the history of revival movements on U.S. soil – from the First Great Awakening of the 1700s to the Jesus Movement of the 1970s – and he asks a simple question: Why not now? For the past three years, Hall and his team at PULSE have prayed for and worked toward an event on the National Mall they hope will bring 1 million Christians from all races and denominations to Washington, D.C., to stand for Jesus and unite in pray for the nation and the world. That event – called Together 2016 – will finally take place July 16 when more than 40 well-known speakers, authors and recording artists will gather in what organizers hope is the spark of another revival movement. "This generation really hasn't experienced a true Jesus Movement, a true unity movement," Hall told the Christian Examiner, referencing specifically the First Great Awakening, the Second Great Awakening, Azusa Street Revival, Youth for Christ Movement, and the Jesus People Movement – all of which took place in colonial America or after the nation was founded. "This is a chance to define our generation. We're really praying and believing that God can do it again." Confirmed speakers include Francis Chan, Ravi Zacharias, Luis Palau, Josh McDowell, Samuel Rodriguez and Ronnie Floyd. Among the artists: Hillsong United, Kari Jobe, Lecrae, Passion, Crowder, Kirk Franklin, Jeremy Camp, Michael W. Smith, Matthew West and Casting Crowns. As the Together 2016 website says, the rising generation is "the most cause-driven in history," but "our causes are pulling us apart." "Even religion doesn't unite," the website adds. "We believe only Jesus can bring us together." "We're living in an age where we have all these megachurches and mega-ministries, and yet we all focus on our own thing," Hall told CE. "There is this urgency in my heart and in our team's heart to say: We need to come together, we need to lift up Jesus." The day will involve unified prayer and worship, as well as a call to hit the "reset" in each individual's heart – that "change would begin in me," Hall said. It is no coincidence that Together 2016 is taking place in the middle of an election year, when the nation is as divided as ever, he added. "God doesn't do coincidence," Hall said. "We're as non-political as you can be. ... We just believe that Jesus wants to meet each and every person right where they are. Being that this is an election year, we hope that this can be a rallying point for the entire nation. There is so much attacking [one another] that doesn't match up with what we see in the life of Jesus. And yet we have the chance to rally our attention back to where our hope is found."

Hezbollah moving ‘tons of cocaine’, has ‘most sophisticated money laundering schemes’

June 22, 2016 by yalibnan

Hezbollah’s finance operations are thriving across Latin America months after the Drug Enforcement Administration linked the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group to drug cartels in the region, U.S. lawmakers were told this week. Former DEA operations chief Michael Braun said Hezbollah is “moving [multiple] tons of cocaine” from South America to Europe and has developed “the most sophisticated money laundering scheme or schemes that we have ever witnessed.” The agency announced in February that it had arrested several Hezbollah operatives accused of working with a major Colombian drug cartel to traffic drugs to Europe and launder money through Lebanon. Those arrests come against a backdrop of rising fears in Washington about smuggling connections between Middle East terrorist groups and the Western Hemisphere. Hezbollah has “metastasized into a hydra with international connections that the likes of [the Islamic State] and groups like al Qaeda could only hope to have,” Mr. Braun told the House Financial Services Committee. Adding to concerns about security threats from Central and South America, intelligence reports have also tracked how smugglers managed to sneak illegal immigrants from the Middle Eastern and South Asia straight to the doorstep of the U.S. — including helping one Afghan who U.S. authorities say was part of an attack plot in North America. Immigration officials identified at least a dozen Middle Eastern men smuggled into the Western Hemisphere by a Brazilian-based network that connected them with Mexicans who guided them to the U.S. border, according to internal government documents reviewed this month by The Washington Times. Those smuggled included Palestinians, Pakistanis and the Afghan man who Homeland Security officials said had family ties to the Taliban and was “involved in a plot to conduct an attack in the U.S. and/or Canada.” Concerns about Hezbollah’s activities in Latin America have surged the DEA’s announcement in February that top operatives from the group’s so-called Business Affairs Component, or BAC, “have established business relationships” with South American drug cartels such as the Colombia-based Oficina de Envigado, a crime syndicate “responsible for supplying large quantities of cocaine to the European and United States drug markets.” The DEA said several of the BAC’s Europe-based operatives had been arrested on charges of trafficking drugs and laundering money from South America to purchase weapons and finance the group’s military activities in Syria. The agency described an intricate network of money couriers who collect and transport millions of euros in drug proceeds from Europe to the Middle East. “The currency is then paid in Colombia to drug traffickers,” it said, adding that “a large portion of the drug proceeds was found to transit through Lebanon, and a significant percentage of these proceeds are benefiting terrorist organizations, namely Hezbollah.” The DEA said seven countries, including France, Germany, Italy and Belgium, were involved in an ongoing investigation. But few details were provided about how many suspects had been apprehended or where they are being held. Officials said the most significant arrest was of Mohamad Noureddine, whom the DEA accused of being a Lebanese money launderer for Hezbollah. A week prior to the announcement, the Treasury Department had imposed sanctions freezing any U.S. accounts tied to Mr. Noureddine as well as to Hamdi Zaher El Dine, another suspected money launderer. Decades of activity U.S. officials have long been wary of Hezbollah, a Shiite Islamic group. While it has a mainstream political arm in Lebanon, officials have linked the group to terrorist attacks in various corners of the world over the past 25 years — the vast majority targeting Israel. The State Department listed Hezbollah as a terrorist organization in the late 1990s and has characterized Iran as a leading state sponsor of terrorism largely on grounds that it supplies the group with weapons. But the full scope of Hezbollah’s operations has long been a subject of debate in Washington. The DEA’s recent claims followed years of speculation about Iranian activities in Latin America. Responding to pressure from Republican lawmakers, the State Department conducted a formal probe into the matter in 2013 and issued a report claiming that Iran was not supporting any active terrorist cells in the region. While the report said the number of Iranian officials operating in Latin America had increased, the report concluded Tehran had far less influence in Latin America than critics claimed. former officials like Mr. Braun, who retired as DEA chief of operations in 2008, say Hezbollah is extremely active in the region. President Obama signed the “Hizballah International Financing Prevention Act” last year, authorizing a range of actions, including sanctions, to block Hezbollah’s ability to fund itself. Emanuele Ottolenghi, a senior fellow on Iran and illicit finance with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told lawmakers at Wednesday’s hearing that Congress and the administration should use the law to “aggressively focus” on Hezbollah’s presence in Latin America. Brazilian connection Mr. Ottolenghi pointed to the group’s “vast network of support,” particularly in Brazil, which is home to some 7 million people of Lebanese descent, including an estimated 1 million Shiite Muslims. “Hezbollah generates loyalty among the local Shiite communities by managing their religious and educational structures,” Mr. Ottolenghi told the hearing. “It then leverages loyalty to solicit funds and use business connections to its own advantage, including, critically, to facilitate its interactions with organized crime.” He cited a 2014 report by the Brazilian newspaper O Globo that outlined a connection between Hezbollah and the Primeiro Comando da Capital, a Sao Paulo-based prison gang, which is widely regarded to be among the country’s biggest exporters of cocaine. “Drug cartels need middlemen, as well as commodity and service providers, for the supply line and delivery to cartels in Colombia, Venezuela and Central America,” Mr. Ottolenghi said. “They need assistance facilitating transit to West Africa before drugs cross the Sahara on their way to Western Europe and enabling the producers, refiners and cartels to launder their revenues and acquire the accessories for the trade in the process.”

Shock Report: FBI’s Facial Recognition Database Contains 90 Percent NON-CRIMINALS

By Matt Agorist

In 2014, the FBI announced their plans to launch a massive database containing 52 million images of faces, in order to keep tabs on Americans through a biometric facial recognition program known as Next Generation Identification (NGI). However, according to an exhaustive report by the federal Government Accountability Office (GAO), the program is far larger than they claimed, and ominous. According to the report, the system actually contains about 411 million photos, only 30 million of those are “civil and criminal mugshots.” The overwhelming majority of images in the FBI database are of innocent people. According to the GAO Report, as reported by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, FBI’s Facial Analysis, Comparison, and Evaluation (FACE) Services unit not only has access to FBI’s Next Generation Identification (NGI) face recognition database of nearly 30 million civil and criminal mug shot photos, but also has access to the State Department’s Visa and Passport databases, the Defense Department’s biometric database, and the drivers license databases of at least 16 states. Totaling 411.9 million images, this is an unprecedented number of photographs, most of which are of Americans and foreigners who have committed no crimes. These images, according to the report, were arbitrarily scooped up in a massive data collection and have nothing to do with national security or criminal behavior. The agency has done nothing to make sure innocent people are kept out of their search results, according to the report. As EFF notes, face recognition is notoriously inaccurate across the board and may also misidentify African Americans and ethnic minorities, young people, and women at higher rates than whites, older people, and men, respectively. Also, when the GAO pointed out that agencies contributing data to the program might have lower accuracy than the FBI, the Justice Department responded by saying, “there is value in searching all available external databases, regardless of their level of accuracy.” The FBI has been hiding this information from the public as well, in egregious violation of federal law and the FBI’s own policy. According to EFF, the GAO report criticized the FBI for rolling out these massive face recognition capabilities without ever explaining the privacy implications of its actions to the public. Federal law and Department of Justice policies require the FBI to complete a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) of all programs that collect data on Americans, both at the beginning of development and any time there’s significant change to the program. While the FBI produced a PIA in 2008, when it first started planning out the face recognition component of NGI, it didn’t update that PIA until late 2015—seven years later and well after it began making significant changes to the program. It also failed to produce a PIA for the FACE Services unit until May 2015—three years after FACE began supporting FBI with face recognition searches. As GAO notes, the whole point of PIAs is to give the public notice of the privacy implications of data collection programs and to ensure that privacy protections are built into the system from the start. The FBI failed at this. The FBI, in its reply to the GAO report, said the bureau “has established practices that protect privacy and civil liberties beyond the requirements of the law.” “The FBI fully recognizes that the automated nature of face recognition technology and the sheer number of photos now available for searching raise important privacy and civil liberties considerations. For that reason, the FBI has made privacy and civil liberties integral to every decision from the inception regarding its use of face recognition technology,” the bureau added. Apparently, keeping a massive database of facial images of innocent Americans to spy on them using hidden cameras for unknown reasons is “protecting privacy and civil liberties” if you are the FBI. Aside from being entirely unethical, illegal, and a death blow to privacy, the database is a glaring failure. As Ars Technica notes, the system “utterly failed in the Boston bombing manhunt.” It seems the U.S. government knows no limit as to how low they will go to ‘protect’ you from terrorism. The state’s tendency of problem, reaction, solution only serves to erode liberties while furthering the problem. If the U.S. truly had any interest whatsoever in preventing terrorism, they would stop creating it. Matt Agorist is the co-founder of TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared.

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

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

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

Mark Levin, anti-Trumper, praises Trump speech  

Tells radio audience 'he hit it out of the park'

Published: 6 hours ago

Mark Levin, one of conservatives’ largest radio voices – and one of Donald Trump’s biggest critics, who told listeners just a short time ago to consider him a “never Trump” Republican – nonetheless praised the billionaire’s most recent speech, saying his attacks on Hillary Clinton were politically savvy and superb. Levin first said parts of Trump’s speech – particularly the portion, as WND previously reported, where he reached out to Sen. Bernie Sanders supporters and told them to join him on the campaign trail – “really ticked me off.” But most of it was just what the party needed to hear, Levin went on. The ‘Stop Hillary’ campaign is on fire! Join the surging response to this theme: ‘Clinton for prosecution, not president’ “The Republican leadership in Congress doesn’t have the guts to go to the floor of the Senate or the floor of the House and make these charges,” Levin said, speaking of how Trump railed against Clinton and spoke in specifics about her acts of dishonesty and political deceptions, Breitbart reported. “This is outstanding. You can’t let Hillary Clinton get away with her corruption, her cronyism, her criminality. I don’t care who you support or don’t support. She’s detestable.” Levin then played more clips of Trump’s speech, and said: “He hit it out of the park.” Get the hottest, most important news stories on the Internet – delivered FREE to your inbox as soon as they break! Take just 30 seconds and sign up for WND’s Email News Alerts! Levin’s praise is somewhat surprising, given his very publicly stated distaste for Trump. In April, for example, Levin spoke of Trump’s connection to Roger Stone, a political strategist famous for his thorough opposition research, and said, the Hill reported: “I’m not voting for Donald Trump. Period … These bully, dirty tricks. Nixonian tactics, they’re only going to backfire. So count me as never Trump.” Also in April, Levin warned fellow conservatives Trump’s “taking you for a ride,” and that “you will be disappointed,” Real Clear Politics reported. And in May, Levin railed against Trump’s constitutional views, which he described as watery at best. As PJ Media reported, Levin said then: “We’re all supposed to rally around Donald Trump. We can’t even figure the hell out where he stands on the Constitution.”

Meet Our Executioners - AI Disasters Prove Why Humanity Will Be Exterminated By Our Own Creations

June 22, 2016 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

Millions of people use Artificial Intelligence (AI) every single day and are not even aware of it, from "personal assistants" like Siri, Google Now and Cortana, to video games utilizing AI, banking, online customer support chat bots, and even some of the news articles being read are written by artificial intelligence programs. (More at Beebom and Wiki) While the aforementioned AI applications might get you "killed" in a video game, or cause you to miss an appointment none will actually cause physical harm, but recent examples of AI disasters prove without a doubt that machines, no matter how advanced their "Artificial Intelligence" is, learns from their surroundings, their interactions and are programmed by human beings, and as such, are dangerous in applications being researched now, such as "killer robots." Killer Robots are fully autonomous weapons, which can select and engage targets without human intervention. In fact just days ago the Daily Mail reported that humanity has just one year to ban them before they become a reality, despite warnings from top researchers such as Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates, warning of the dangers posed to humanity from AI. 40 countries, including the United States, are developing the tech to create killer robots, supposedly to be used in the battlefield, yet if we went to war with any of those countries, we have to ask would those same creations not be used against us? Aside from the killer robots, we can see in recent headlines just how dangerous a machine with learning capabilities can be if sent out into the general population. Today we see an article about the Promobot IR77, a robot capable of thinking for itself, but what programmers didn't factor in is that this thinking robot but think about escaping, which it managed to do, not one but twice! The Promobot IR77 has been fitted with artificial intelligence meaning that it learns from its experiences and its surroundings, although the programmers had not expected it to yearn for freedom. They say that despite reprogramming it twice, the robot continues to attempt to escape and they are now considering scrapping it. The other robots which have been created from the same series are well-behaved, and have not been escaping, say the team. Promobot IR77 made headlines last week when he escaped but ran out of battery in the middle of the street after 45 minutes in the city of Perm in central Russia's Perm Krai region. The expert said that they had programmed the robot to try and avoid obstacles, and it had not been intended that it would look for ways to leave the research centre. Anyone remember Tay, the Microsoft chat bot meant to mimic a millennial girl on social media? Many got a good laugh when within 24 hours of her release onto Twitter and other platforms, by interacting and learning from humans, she because a Nazi-loving, genocidal maniac. Within one day she went from "humans are super cool," to "I f**king hate feminists and they should all die and burn in hell," and "Hitler was right I hate Jews." Those are just a small sample of what Tay "learned."

Pound hits fresh 2016 highs as City traders bet on Remain - but banks warn result could paralyse markets

Pound hits fresh high but analysts warn traders are following the bookies

Britons dash for euros and dollars before going on holiday ahead of vote

Voting is underway amid torrential downpours and flooding overnight

In the City banks wrote to clients telling them to prepare for disruption

By Mark Shapland For This Is Money Published: 05:07 EST, 23 June 2016 | Updated: 11:57 EST, 23 June 2016

The pound hit fresh 2016 highs against the dollar and the euro today in a further sign that City traders remain convinced the Remain camp will eke out a win in the EU referendum. Sterling has continued its recent revival, after weeks on the slide amid fears over polls showing a strengthening Leave vote. It initially rose by 0.4 per cent to $1.49 today - a 6 per cent rise since this time last week - but gave back some gains to trade at $1.48 towards the end of the day. Against the euro the pound is worth more than €1.30, up from €1.26 a week ago. Meanwhile holidaymakers have been snapping up foreign currency - in what some have termed 'panic buying' - in anticipation of their summer holidays in Europe. Queues outside currency exchanges across the UK have mounted amid fears that a Brexit win tomorrow would lead to the pound crashing, leaving Britons across the Continent short changed. UKForex said it has witnessed a 100 per cent increase in consumers making transfers from sterling to euros in last 24 hours William Shepherd, of UKForex, 'If the UK opts to leave, the pound could fall as much as 20 per cent. Consumers could lose up to £1,398 on a £10,000 transfer, compared to today's rate.' The Post Office said overall currency sales in its branches and online were up 74 per cent since the weekend. Online, sales were up 381 per cent on the same day a year ago. Travelex said its online currency orders had increased by 30 per cent from June 14 to June 21. But it is not just holidaymakers worried about losing out in the face of a Brexit vote. In the City of London banks - including UBS, HSBC, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America Merrill Lynch - have written to clients telling them to prepare for disruption once the EU referendum result is declared. According to an article in the Times today, the banks said that they could not guarantee to 'make a market' by acting as intermediaries between buyers and sellers. If so, the Bank of England might have to step in to buy assets as a 'market maker of last resort', as it did in 2009. Voting got underway this morning amid torrential downpours as analysts said that currency traders have been using the bookies and polls to gauge the likely referendum result. A phone survey from ComRes for ITV gave the Remain camp 54 per cent of the vote compared to Leave's 46 per cent, while YouGov had victory at a much slimmer margin with just 51 per cent voting to Remain against Leave's 49 per cent. The last poll from IPSOS Mori put Remain in the lead with 52 per cent, while the Leave camp was at 48 per cent. At the same time a Remain vote is now 84 per cent on according to odds compiled by Betfair, compared to 22 per cent for Leave. Ladbrokes puts the chance of Brexit at only 27 per cent. FXTM chief market strategist Hussein Sayed said: 'The markets are being completely reliant on the predictions from the bookies, which strongly expect Remain to win the referendum.' He added: 'There is currently no real explanation to provide as to why city firms are confident on a remain outcome, although it does appear to me as if the correlation between the probability from bookmakers is what is being mirrored in the markets. 'The risk with this is that the market are currently discounting against the repeated indications from preliminary polls that have indicated again and again that the outcome should be close.' And worryingly the polls have also revealed that as many as 17 per cent of voters are still undecided about whether they will vote Remain or Leave and this has made many in the City nervous. Mic Mills, at Capital Index, said: 'To me it seems to be wishful thinking, there is a consensus I think that the 'undecided' vote will end up going with remain, but the markets are more confident than I am at the moment.' Craig Erlam at Oanda, cautioned: 'The problem now is that investors may be overconfident which could cause mayhem if the UK does in fact vote to leave.' Should the polls and bookies get it wrong, experienced financiers such as George Soros have predicted the pound will decline by as much as 15 per cent. Investment banks warned clients that low levels of liquidity could cause 'execution' problems on transactions, as well as making trading more expensive as market makers effectively increase their charges to reflect the higher levels of risk. UBS said: 'In the event that extreme market moves occur in an environment of limited liquidity, our principal spreads may widen . . . liquidity may reduce and prices may turn indicative [ie: non-tradable] for periods of time.' Yesterday UBS warned that a Brexit vote would send the London market into freefall, with the FTSE 100 plummeting to levels of between 4,900 and 5,500, while wiping off around £350billion in the process. In a separate note, the bank said: 'Following the risk-rally of the last few days, we believe there is significant room for downside in the event of a Leave vote. 'We estimate percentage moves in the mid-teens for UK and EU equities but materially smaller moves for the S&P 500 and EM equities. 'While the pound may come under significant pressure, the euro may be more stable. Risk currencies (Swiss Franc and Japanese Yen) would benefit, but policy responses could limit the degree of strength quickly.'

BREXIT PREDICTION: Globalists are going to steal the referendum with massive fraud... 'remain' will be declared the winner even if 'leave' wins the vote

Wednesday, June 22, 2016 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

(NaturalNews) Here at Natural News, we fully endorse the BREXIT vote to leave the European Union. (Heck, we even support #Texit for Texas independence!) Yet I predict that "remain" will be declared the winner for a simple, obvious reason: The globalist slave masters of the EU will not voluntarily allow the peasants escape to their control. Over the next day, we are going to witness the most extraordinary voting fraud ever pulled off in history as the globalist machine makes sure BREXIT fails. After all, they already murdered a member of Parliament (Jo Cox) to try to sway the votes... do you really think they won't commit ballot box fraud, too? Financial markets already know the vote has been rigged The financial markets across Europe have already factored in what they believe is a near-certain win for the "remain" vote, even though most real people on the street desperately want to leave the EU. What do the financial kingpins know that gives them this confidence? They know the vote results have already been rigged. The very last thing a dictatorial regime wants is to give the people any real chance to alter the future with their votes. Thus, the game being played in the UK and everywhere else around the world is to give the sheeple the ILLUSION of democracy while actually controlling the outcome of every election from the very start. If you think the EU globalists are going to stand by while an honest, democratic vote by the people takes away their power, you need to have your head examined. The only way a free, open vote is ever allowed to happen is if the controllers already know the outcome in advance (and have sufficiently manipulated the minds of the voters). Vote all you want, in other words... but the outcome is already pre-determined by the globalists in power. Who do you think runs the voting systems in the first place? Do you think they actually leave these things to chance? Not on your life. What happens after the BREXIT vote? The collapse of the EU happens anyway... it just takes a little longer The real question here is what happens after BREXIT fails and the UK remains in the EU. The correct answer is that it's all headed for a financial collapse and a popular revolt, almost certainly with lots of accompanying bloodshed and social chaos along the way. Eventually, the EU crumbles because the laws of economics demand it. UK citizens are right to try to leave the EU, in precisely the same way the passengers on the Titanic eventually started scrambling for the few remaining life boats. The EU is going down like a shattered vessel, and the last thing the globalists want us for free people to escape the doom and destruction that has been planned for them. To all our UK friends: Vote for BREXIT anyway Despite all this, I still say to all our friends in the UK: Vote for BREXIT! Even though the election is rigged, your vote makes it just a little bit harder for them to rig without getting caught. And if you don't vote, the globalists win anyway. So you can at least make your mark, vote for BREXIT, and then stand back and watch the magic of globalist fraud declare "remain" to be the winner. But at least you know you did something to try to change the course of history... at least you can now live with yourself as a UK citizen who did the right thing to try to save your own country.

Nourishing your body with superfoods including cilantro, mint and spinach helps ward off Alzheimer's disease and dementia

Thursday, June 23, 2016 by: J. D. Heyes

(NaturalNews) Millions of Americans are stricken with dementia and Alzheimer's, while millions more are concerned that they, too, may some day develop these conditions, which currently have no traditional medical cure. Fortunately a great deal of research on natural and alternative treatments that can either stave off or improve dementia has been conducted and continues to be undertaken, and what scientists are discovering is no less than amazing. For instance, simply improving your diet and adding key superfoods like blueberries and cilantro will dramatically improve your chances of keeping dementia at bay. But, as long as we feed our bodies with toxins and prepackaged foods and substances devoid of nutrition, our chances of getting dementia increase exponentially. Avoiding certain compounds and substances is also important in staving off dementia and Alzheimer's. Click now to register for the FREE online Alzheimer's and Dementia Summit Detoxification is key; adequately removing toxins like heavy metals requires the ingestion of certain superfoods. These include cilantro, chlorella, spinach, cabbage, asparagus, ginger root, mint, parsley, turmeric, sesame seeds, almonds and garlic, to name just a few. Mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic are very common heavy metals, and we are exposed to some or all of them nearly every day of our lives, and sometimes at every meal. From foods to household chemicals and other items, from our tap water to dental fillings in our mouths, 99 percent of all chronic diseases and illnesses come from a combination of a lack of clean eating and proper nutrition, and toxic pollutants that constantly have to be filtered out of our bodies by our various organs. Eventually, when toxic metal levels get high enough and are left untreated, they begin causing chronic illness. Our main organs that detoxify our bodies naturally are the liver, kidneys, lungs and skin. The superfoods mentioned above go a long way towards helping the body accomplish its detoxification tasks. These superfoods will draw the heavy metals out of your bloodstream and organs, soft tissues and muscles, and prevent free radicals from polluting your system, and triggering chronic health conditions (like dementia). These conditions are entirely preventable, if caught early enough, and we shouldn't allow the traditional medical system to feed us the lie that our conditions are mostly "genetic" and therefore irreversible. Consider, for instance, that around 15 million people are currently taking some form of statin drug. Per a recent entry in Truthwiki: "With the use of statins there is a GREATER RISK of coronary vessels developing obstructive coronary heart disease. Ironically, according to the FDA's own adverse event reporting system, at least 40 of every 10,000 statin reports are for interstitial lung disease. Statins prescribed to the elderly is causing a 9% increase in diabetes, early-onset cataracts and insulin resistance. Then it's the plaque–the calcified plaque and the coronary calcium–it continues regardless of statin treatment." How many people actually know that? How many healthcare providers actually know that? As for heavy metals and the development of Alzheimer's, TruthWiki also notes: "Western medicine doctors work hard to convince patients that nearly all disease, disorder and sickness is genetic, including Alzheimer's, somehow inherited from our parents and passed along to the children, so the doctors are "needed" for regular checkups, regular visits, and regular chronic, costly care. Most people believe anything and everything their doctors tell them, but the truth is very far from this regarding Alzheimer's disease–namely its root causes and the 'end results.' Plaques in the brain and hardened arteries can lead to Alzheimer's and strokes, but there is much more to the diagnoses and examinations of the brain and the pollutants that contribute to disorder and severe malfunction of cognition." You can read the entire entry here.

Ring Of Fire: Scientists Warnings & Maps Show A Chain Of Events Could Literally Bring Hell On Earth

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine June 22, 2016

According to a real-time map of earthquakes, created by Mapbox, using data collected from the USGS earthquake data feed, there have been 9,651 tremors detected in the last 30 days, 1,740 of them occurring in the last week and 176 in the last day. (Note these numbers change as each new tremor is recorded) A screen shot of the map shows why all eyes should be on the "Ring of Fire," which is "a major area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. In a 40,000 km (25,000 mi) horseshoe shape, it is associated with a nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and volcanic belts and/or plate movements. It has 452 volcanoes (more than 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes)," according to Wikipedia. The size of the areas shown in blue indicate the magnitudes of the tremors recorded, the bigger the blue area, the larger the magnitude. Via Mapbox blog: Check out the tight clusters of minor earthquakes in Alaska and California, and sparser but far more powerful shocks on the Ring of Fire’s western edge. With the recent FEMA Drill called Cascadia Rising, which practiced a simulated field response operation within their jurisdictions and with neighboring communities, state EOCs, FEMA, and major military commands to a scenario of a 9.0 magnitude earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) and the resulting tsunami, it once again highlighted the fact that the U.S. government is preparing for what scientists and researchers have warned is long overdue.... the big one. The Cascadia Rising 2016 page states "Recent subduction zone earthquakes around the world underscore the catastrophic impacts we will face when the next CSZ earthquake and tsunami occurs in our region," as they highlight the 2004 Indonesia event (9.1 mag EQ) with 228,000 fatalities, the 2010 EQ in Chile (8.8 mag) causing 500 fatalities and the 2011 Japan 9.0 EQ which caused 18,000 fatalities, not counting the global damage still being done from the subsequent Fukushima nuclear plant meltdowns. The Cascadia Subduction Zone is not the only area of concern though as a dire warning came out in early May, reported on by the LA Times, with a headline of "San Andreas fault 'locked, loaded and ready to roll' with big earthquake, expert says." The San Andreas fault is one of California’s most dangerous, and is the state’s longest fault. Yet for Southern California, the last big earthquake to strike the southern San Andreas was in 1857, when a magnitude 7.9 earthquake ruptured an astonishing 185 miles between Monterey County and the San Gabriel Mountains near Los Angeles. It has been quiet since then — too quiet, said Thomas Jordan, director of the Southern California Earthquake Center. "The springs on the San Andreas system have been wound very, very tight. And the southern San Andreas fault, in particular, looks like it’s locked, loaded and ready to go," Jordan said in the opening keynote talk. The key quote from that article states "Here’s the problem: Scientists have observed that based on the movement of tectonic plates, with the Pacific plate moving northwest of the North American plate, earthquakes should be relieving about 16 feet of accumulated plate movement every 100 years. Yet the San Andreas has not relieved stress that has been building up for more than a century." Two days ago it was reported that large-scale motion detected near San Andreas Fault system. Related: 'Seismic strain': Land around the San Andreas fault is rising and sinking, new earthquake research shows Now we see a prediction offered by scientists from the University of Hawaii at Mānoa of a "nine percent chance a magnitude 9 or larger earthquake will strike the Aleutian Islands in the next 50 years," reported by Extinction Protocol. What does Cascadia, Aleutian and San Andreas Fault have in common? They are all connected to the Ring of Fire, as shown by the USGS map shown below, obtained from Google images. While many focus on the predicted earthquakes and tsunamis and the devastation that would occur in areas completely unprepared for "the big one," we note the amount of volcanoes in the U.S. that scientists consider "active," with the AGI claiming that number is about 169, then linking to the USGS Volcano Activity Map, shown below. There are about 1500 potentially active volcanoes worldwide, aside from the continuous belt of volcanoes on the ocean floor. About 500 of these have erupted in historical time. Many of these are located along the Pacific Rim in what is known as the 'Ring of Fire.' In the U.S., volcanoes in the Cascade Range and Alaska (Aleutian volcanic chain) are part of the Ring, while Hawaiian volcanoes form over a 'hot spot' near the center of the Ring. Note that in mid-June it was reported that earthquakes in Ring of Fire triggered volcano affecting thousands near Manila in the Philippines after Mount Bulusan belched ash 1.2miles into the sky after 113 small earthquakes were recorded around it, with the UK Express reporting "The Ring of Fire is the most seismically-active place on earth and has been experiencing a high number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions since the spring." Related: Earth's rings of fire: Mountains ranges, volcanoes and trenches created by 15 tectonic plates revealed in stunning images BOTTOM LINE It is all connected, so when we see articles from MSM outlets highlighting warnings about Cascadia, or San Andreas or any other prediction of the "big one" hitting here or there, one must keep in mind that when it does hit it could set off a chain of events that literally brings hell on earth. This is also a major reason why folks should prepare. Consider the warnings from 2013 where Dr. Lucy Jones, a Science Advisor for Risk Reduction at the U.S. Geological Survey, warned Americans that is the "big one" should hit southern California we should "imagine America without Los Angeles," because the damage would cause food shortages to those in the affected area and beyond, natural gas lines used for cooking and heating would be cut, data lines would be severed, and "high-tech damage could hinder the recovery effort in the weeks and months after the earthquake." People should have a sufficient supplies of food, water, medical necessities and basics in order to survive being cut off from the rest of the country, not just for weeks, but possibly much longer. Those with the higher chance of survival in any disaster scenario will always be those the most prepared.

Mystery Object Outshines Entire Milky Way Galaxy by 50 Times --"We Don't Know What the Power Source Could Be" (Thursday's Most Popular) June 09, 2016

Astronomers were not entirely sure what it is. If, as they suspect, the gas ball is the result of a supernova, then it's the most powerful supernova ever seen. In June of 2015, astronomers viewed a ball of hot gas billions of light years away that is radiating the energy of hundreds of billions of suns. Even in a discipline that regularly uses gigantic numbers to express size or distance, the case of this small but powerful mystery object in the center of the gas ball is extreme. At its heart is an object a little larger than 10 miles across. ASAS-SN-15lh, as the object is known, was twice as luminous as any previously seen, far brighter than any normal supernova, and outshone our entire Milky Way galaxy by 50 times. The artist’s impression below shows what it would look like from an exoplanet 10,000 light-years away in its home galaxy. The team reported that the object at the center could be a very rare type of star called a magnetar--but one so powerful that it pushes the energy limits allowed by physics. An international team of professional and amateur astronomers spotted the possible supernova, now called ASASSN-15lh, when it first flared to life in June 2015. The gas ball surrounding the object can't be seen with the naked eye, because it's 3.8 billion light years away. But it was spotted by the All Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN, pronounced "assassin") collaboration. Led by Ohio State, the project uses a cadre of small telescopes around the world to detect bright objects in our local universe. Though ASAS-SN has discovered some 250 supernovae since the collaboration began in 2014, the explosion that powered ASASSN-15lh stands out for its sheer magnitude. It is 200 times more powerful than the average supernova, 570 billion times brighter than our sun, and 20 times brighter than all the stars in our Milky Way Galaxy combined. "We have to ask, how is that even possible?" said Krzysztof Stanek, professor of astronomy at Ohio State. "It takes a lot of energy to shine that bright, and that energy has to come from somewhere." "The honest answer is at this point that we do not know what could be the power source for ASASSN-15lh," said Subo Dong, lead author of the Science paper and a Youth Qianren Research Professor of astronomy at the Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics at Peking University. He added that the discovery "may lead to new thinking and new observations of the whole class of superluminous supernova." Todd Thompson, professor of astronomy at Ohio State, offered one possible explanation. The supernova could have spawned an extremely rare type of star called a millisecond magnetar, a rapidly spinning and very dense star with a very strong magnetic field. To shine so bright, this particular magnetar would also have to spin at least 1,000 times a second, and convert all that rotational energy to light with nearly 100 percent efficiency, Thompson explained. It would be the most extreme example of a magnetar that scientists believe to be physically possible. "Given those constraints," he said, "will we ever see anything more luminous than this? If it truly is a magnetar, then the answer is basically no." The Hubble Space Telescope will help settle the question later this year, in part because it will allow astronomers to see the host galaxy surrounding the object. If the team finds that the object lies in the very center of a large galaxy, then perhaps it's not a magnetar at all, and the gas around it is not evidence of a supernova, but instead some unusual nuclear activity around a supermassive black hole. If so, then its bright light could herald a completely new kind of event, said study co-author Christopher Kochanek, professor of astronomy at Ohio State and the Ohio Eminent Scholar in Observational Cosmology. It would be something never before seen in the center of a galaxy. The Daily Galaxy via Ohio State University Image Credit: NASA and Beijing Planetarium / Jin Ma

Iceland’s Hekla volcano “ready to blow”

A geophysics professor from the University of Iceland has warned people not to travel up Hekla volcano in South Iceland as it could erupt at any moment. As reported by Icelandic news website visir.is (link in Icelandic), Hekla erupted regularly ever ten years or so from 1970 to 2000 – but has now been silent for sixteen years. According to Professor Páll Einarsson, pressure readings within the famous volcano are now higher than before the last two previous eruptions – meaning it could blow with little warning. “Hekla is a dangerous volcano,” says Einarsson. “We could be looking at a major disaster when the next eruption begins if we are not careful.” MORE: 1980 Hekla eruption passenger jet near-miss “Hekla has become a very popular tourist destination. Nowadays, there are tourist groups on Hekla most of the summer,” Einarsson explain in the visir.is article. “There are also 20-30 planes full of passengers flying right over the top of Hekla every day,” he warns. “This is a risky moment which we need to take seriously.” New measurements have shown that Hekla has been gathering magma and internal pressure is higher than before the last two previous eruptions. “Hekla is ready – at any moment,” Einarsson concludes.

'ACCORDING TO THE MUSLIM FAITH, IF SOMEONE TRIES TO APOSTATE, HE OR SHE COULD BE KILLED'

June 21, 2016

Islamic apologists in the West, both Muslim and non-Muslim, routinely deny that Islam has a death penalty for those who leave Islam. They also deny that Islam allows for child marriage. How is it that so many Muslims in Pakistan have misunderstood their own faith? Says the local police chief in the article below: “The Muslims living in the area said nobody is allowed to go back to his or her old religion after embracing Islam. According to the Muslim faith, if someone tries to apostate, he or she could be killed.” And later on, the Washington Post informs us that Pakistan is “a country with no law against child marriage.” Apostasy: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89) A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence. This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent Muslim cleric in the world, has stated: “The Muslim jurists are unanimous that apostates must be punished, yet they differ as to determining the kind of punishment to be inflicted upon them. The majority of them, including the four main schools of jurisprudence (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali) as well as the other four schools of jurisprudence (the four Shiite schools of Az-Zaidiyyah, Al-Ithna-‘ashriyyah, Al-Ja’fariyyah, and Az-Zaheriyyah) agree that apostates must be executed.” Qaradawi also once famously said: “If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment, Islam wouldn’t exist today.”

Spending it all on rent: 11 million Americans spend half their income on rent. Another 21 million spend over 30 percent of their income on rent, a record high.

Posted by mybudget360 in income, real estate

The financial raiding of the American middle class is moving full steam ahead. The ridiculous structure of the banking bailouts and artificially low interest rates caused hot money from banks and big investors to crowd out regular families in the housing market. Now here we are 7 years after the official conclusion of the Great Recession and regular American families are financially struggling while banks and big investors thrive. Today 11 million Americans spend half of their income on rent. Another 21.3 million spent over 30 percent of their income on rent. With millions of properties being bought by investors since the Great Recession hit, all that has happened is a mega transfer of wealth. You don’t build equity by renting but many people are simply priced out from buying a home. The great bailout scam Most Americans have a hard time saving money. This is why housing has been a big plus in the net worth column for many households for more than a generation. This is seen as a forced savings mechanism. Yet the homeownership rate is at a generational low and we have a record percentage of families now renting building no equity. And the problem in big cities is even more pronounced. Here is a map showing how much you need to earn to afford a regular two-bedroom apartment: So it should come as no surprise that many young Americans stuck in low wage jobs are unable to rent a place and end up living with parents or roommates. Others simply spend a wild amount of their income on rent. In the past, this would be the prime age to buy but that is not happening. Unfortunately there are two big issues here: -1. There is a lost decade in homeownership growth. Meaning many people missed out on building equity. -2. Banks and investors continue to hoard homes causing an abnormal distortion to the market. This is manipulated because the Fed is forcibly keeping interest rates low. The end result was that investors dove into housing chasing yields in rental properties, a segment of the market that was largely left to mom and pop investors in the past. The amount of buying over the last decade was a new trend especially with big money flowing in – even though returns are low with zero percent interest rates, banks and big investors had little risk in loading up on rental properties. And rents continue to go up while incomes went stagnant: Rents are going up faster than wages and are far outpacing the overall inflation rate. So it is no surprise then that a record number of Americans are spending half of their money on rent. This makes it less likely that they are consuming on other goods or also saving for their own retirement. All it means is more money is being siphoned off to banks and investors. This is largely shuffling digital money around but Americans are now understanding who really has the power in this country. Large financial institutions are dictating how things play out even if it means things are worse off financially for regular working families.

There Are Now More Bureaucrats With Guns Than U.S. Marines

Report: Non-military federal agencies spend $1.48 billion on guns and ammo since 2006

BY: Elizabeth Harrington June 22, 2016 3:20 pm

There are now more non-military government employees who carry guns than there are U.S. Marines, according to a new report. Open the Books, a taxpayer watchdog group, released a study Wednesday that finds domestic government agencies continue to grow their stockpiles of military-style weapons, as Democrats sat on the House floor calling for more restrictions on what guns American citizens can buy. The “Militarization of America” report found civilian agencies spent $1.48 billion on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment between 2006 and 2014. Examples include IRS agents with AR-15s, and EPA bureaucrats wearing camouflage. “Regulatory enforcement within administrative agencies now carries the might of military-style equipment and weapons,” Open the Books said. “For example, the Food and Drug Administration includes 183 armed ‘special agents,’ a 50 percent increase over the ten years from 1998-2008. At Health and Human Services (HHS), ‘Special Office of Inspector General Agents’ are now trained with sophisticated weaponry by the same contractors who train our military special forces troops.” Open the Books found there are now over 200,000 non-military federal officers with arrest and firearm authority, surpassing the 182,100 personnel who are actively serving in the U.S. Marines Corps. The IRS spent nearly $11 million on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment for its 2,316 special agents. The tax collecting agency has billed taxpayers for pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns, semi-automatic Smith & Wesson M&P15s, and Heckler & Koch H&K 416 rifles, which can be loaded with 30-round magazines. The EPA spent $3.1 million on guns, ammo, and equipment, including drones, night vision, “camouflage and other deceptive equipment,” and body armor. When asked about the spending, and EPA spokesman said the report “cherry picks information and falsely misrepresents the work of two administrations whose job is to protect public health.” “Many purchases were mischaracterized or blown out of proportion in the report,” said spokesman Nick Conger. “EPA’s criminal enforcement program has not purchased unmanned aircraft, and the assertions that military-grade weapons are part of its work are false.” “EPA’s criminal enforcement program investigates and prosecutes the most egregious violators of our nation’s environmental laws, and EPA criminal enforcement agents are law enforcement professionals who have undergone the same rigorous training as other federal agents,” Conger continued. Other administration agencies that have purchased guns and ammo include the Small Business Administration, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Department of Education, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The report also highlighted that the Department of Health and Human Services has “special agents” with “sophisticated military-style weapons.” Open the Books also found $42 million in gun and ammunition purchases that were incorrectly coded. “Some purchases were actually for ping-pong balls, gym equipment, bread, copiers, cotton balls, or cable television including a line item from the Coast Guard entered as ‘Cable Dude,’” the report said. Open the Books appealed to both liberals like Bernie Sanders—who has called for demilitarizing local police departments—and conservatives in its report. “Conservatives argue that it is hypocritical for political leaders to undermine the Second Amendment while simultaneously equipping non-military agencies with hollow-point bullets and military style equipment,” Open the Books said. “One could argue the federal government itself has become a gun show that never adjourns with dozens of agencies continually shopping for new firearms.” Update June 23, 10:15 a.m.: Following publication of this article, Adam Andrzejewski, the CEO of Open the Books who wrote the report, pushed back against the EPA’s statement, and provided contract data to back up his claims. “How can the EPA spokesperson deny hard facts from their own checkbook?” he said. “Alongside our oversight report, OpenTheBooks.com also released a PDF of all raw data. This line-by-line transactional record from the EPA’s own checkbook on page 113 clearly shows that in 2013 and 2014 the EPA purchased tens of thousands of dollars of ‘Unmanned Aircraft’ from Bergen RC Helicopters Inc which on a net basis amounted to approximately $34,000.” “All of the assertions in our oversight report are the quantification of actual spending records produced and reported to us by the federal agencies themselves,” Andrzejewski said.

North Korea's Musudan Missile Test Actually Succeeded. What Now?

North Korea claims its sixth Musudan missile test this year was a success. Why does that matter?

By Ankit Panda June 23, 2016

Yesterday, North Korea launched two liquid-fueled Musudan (Hwasong-10) intermediate-range ballistic missiles. As I wrote then, the tests marked the fifth and sixth test launches of the missile this year. Testing began in mid-April, to coincide with the birth anniversary of Kim Il-sung, North Korea’s founder and grandfather to current leader Kim Jong-un. Sadly for Kim, all four tests prior to yesterday had failed either at launch or shortly after launch. (The Diplomat‘s John Power has a good round-up of the most recent tests at our Koreas channel.) Tests one through four failed, and yesterday, the first test (test launch five) also failed, though it flew further than the previous tests. It turns out that the sixth and final Musudan tested to date actually demonstrated results suggesting a high degree of success. Japan’s Defense Minister Gen Nakatani noted an apogee of around 1,000 kilometers for the missile. The sixth Musudan also covered the most surface distance, traveling 400 kilometers from its launch site near the North Korean city of Wonsan, on the country’s eastern coast overlooking the Sea of Japan. (Incidentally, the first missile fired yesterday also flew 150 kilometers, a significant upgrade over the previous launches in April and May.) The 1,000 kilometer apogee means that the missile made it into the Earth’s exosphere. Long-range ballistic missiles work by essentially hurling their payload high into the earth’s atmosphere, using a ballistic trajectory to reach their target, letting gravity and air resistance do most of the work in the reentry and terminal phases. A Musudan at 1,000 kilometers is a worrisome milestone, particularly if Pyongyang is able to mount its new compact nuclear devices on board the missile. The 400 kilometer range, meanwhile, shouldn’t deceive you; North Korea likely intended for the missile to fly at a steeper angle than would be ideal for it to reach its maximum range of 3,500 kilometers. (Pyongyang took care to make sure that the missile didn’t splash down within Japan’s air defense identification zone, as well.) Enjoying this article? Click here to subscribe for full access. Just $5 a month. Indeed, early on Thursday, a day after the Musudan test launches, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was reported to have said that the test was a full success and, critically, underlined that Pyongyang now had attained “the sure capability to attack” U.S. targets in the “Pacific operation theater,” most likely referring to Guam but also other regional U.S. bases. The definition of success in missile testing can be somewhat subjective; North Korea gets to decide the parameters it was looking to accomplish and it looks like Kim Jong-un is satisfied with the 1,000 kilometer apogee and the 400 kilometer range accomplishments. (Obvious failed tests meanwhile are easy to spot, particularly when a missile blows itself and its launcher up on or immediately after launch.) Kim Jong-un’s Thursday statement also helps explain why we’ve seen a particularly unusual spate of Musudan testing this spring. North Korea watchers have speculated that the repeated and rushed testing could have been due to Kim Jong-un needing to demonstrate, in line with his byungjin ambitions (more on that here), that he possessed a credible strike platform capable of hitting the U.S. territory of Guam. North Korea’s KN-08 and new KN-14 intercontinental ballistic missiles, which may be capable of striking most of the continental United States if developed successfully, remain in development and have yet to be test-fired. Jeffrey Lewis, a North Korea watcher and nonproliferation expert at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, notes that “If we do nothing, this ends in a successful flight test of the Musudan-based KN-08 (ICBM).” This test should be a reminder for policymakers in the United States and certainly in the region that North Korea continues to make steady progress on a range of platforms that bring Kim Jong-un closer to realizing the nuclear leg of byungjin, threatening regional peace and security. It’s far from obvious where Pyongyang goes from here. Kim Jong-un’s statement on Thursday suggests that the signaling value of the Musudan tests has been accomplished and, with a limited inventory of missiles remaining, Pyongyang may choose to hold off on further testing. Conversely, it could continue testing to protest international isolation and sanctions. The nightmare scenario is the possibility of Pyongyang using the know-how its gained with its Musudan testing to eventually conduct a flight test its KN-08 ICBM, with a possible atmospheric nuclear detonation to remove any doubts about miniaturization. However, amid attempts at an uneasy rapprochement with Beijing and even a willingness to enter a track 1.5 dialogue with regional and U.S. diplomats this week, Pyongyang may choose to tamp down its spate of testing somewhat and claim that its long-sought goal of credibly being able to threaten Guam with a nuclear strike has been achieved. With the country under economic stress from sanctions and under increased agricultural stress precipitating a famine, Kim has plenty of reason to turn his attention to the economic leg of byungjin.

The Supreme Court Just Created a Full-Blown Police State – The End of the USA Cannot Be Far Behind

Posted Jun 21, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

The Supreme Court ruling in Utah v Strieff awarded the police total freedom to stop any citizen, at any time, to do whatever they desire. The Supreme Court determined that the “poisonous fruit” of a police officer’s stop of a citizen can be used against them at trial. This has wiped out, in reality, any constitutional protection you thought you had. This is a sad day for the United States, for the Supreme Court has officially created a full-blown police state and clearly has no intention of honoring why this nation began the entire American Revolution — to prevent illegal searches that allowed the king to look for anything he could use to prosecute citizens. The Supreme Court ruled that even though the officer had initially violated a person’s rights (in other words, the Constitution) the officer’s conduct was “at most negligent” and the result of “good-faith mistakes.” This language is a wink and nod to the police who only have to claim they made a mistake that was not intentional and they walk free. We have witnessed police outrageously murder citizens, but the police officers involved are usually not charged. Now, with this decision, the United States has become exactly as Ukraine stood before the people revolted. A friend of mine from Ukraine came to the states before the last revolution. When they would see a police officer, they would tense up and try to avoid them at all costs. At home, the police were the criminals. They would shake you down, abuse you, and there was simply no rule of law. The Supreme Court, as of yesterday, has committed suicide. In February 1761, James Otis, Jr. (1725–1783) argued brilliantly against the Writs of Assistance that was authorized in 1660 but became an instrument of tyranny in 1758 in the American colonies as a means to raise taxes. For nearly five hours, Otis made a brilliant oration in court against the Writs, but he lost the case, for what judge would ever rule against his master? John Adams later wrote that “the child independence was then and there born, [for] every man of an immense crowded audience appeared to me to go away as I did, ready to take arms against writs of assistance.” This spirit of resistance appears to rise roughly every 51.6 years, albeit at different intensity. This very power to arbitrarily search anyone sparked the American Revolution. No taxation without representation followed, but the inspiration was the right to be free and the Supreme Court just took away. The police no longer have restraint. This is the final stage of how empires, nations, and city-states collapse when there is no rule of law. Once the state elevates itself above the people, the end is not far behind. The dissenting words of Justice Sonia Sotomayor reflect the dire state to which the United States has degenerated. Scalia would have joined Justice Sotomayor on this one, and if he were still alive, he would have tipped the scale and protected our liberty. With Scalia gone, who was a strict constructionist, there is little hope left in the Supreme Court. Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote, “Even if you are innocent, you will now join the 65 million Americans with an arrest record and experience the ‘civil death’ of discrimination by employers, landlords, and whoever else conducts a background check.” She concluded, and I must agree: By legitimizing the conduct that produces this double consciousness, this case tells everyone, white and black, guilty and innocent, that an officer can verify your legal status at any time. It says that your body is subject to invasion while courts excuse the violation of your rights. It implies that you are not a citizen of a democracy but the subject of a carceral state, just waiting to be cataloged. We must not pretend that the countless people who are routinely targeted by police are “isolated.” They are the canaries in the coal mine whose deaths, civil and literal, warn us that no one can breathe in this atmosphere. They are the ones who recognize that unlawful police stops corrode all our civil liberties and threaten all our lives. Until their voices matter too, our justice system will continue to be anything but.

'No Fly, No Buy' Means No Freedom

By Andrew P. Napolitano June 23, 2016

The people in the government who want to control our personal choices are the enemies of freedom. And the enemies of freedom can be very clever and seductive. Last week, these folks, manifesting their lust to keep us dependent upon the government by rejecting the natural right to self-defense, coined a clever phrase: “No fly, no buy.” It sounds rational, yet it rejects core American values. The phrase was pounded home to average Americans during a one-sided 15-hour televised marathon on the floor of the Senate orchestrated by the gun control crowd. The essence of the argument was that stricter laws regarding gun sales would have prevented the massacre at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. In gun control advocates’ dream world, the self-loathing Islamic State-inspired killer, willing to take 49 innocent lives, would somehow have been unwilling to violate restrictive gun purchase laws; and his obedience to those laws would have saved lives. Their argument is naive and absurd. A person willing to commit mass murder is surely willing to break the law to acquire the means to commit the murders. So blinded were these senators in their misguided utterances about self-defense that they forgot about the Constitution. Myths, Misunderstandings and Outright lies about owning Gold. Are you at risk? The legislation they offered would have required that people whose names the feds put on a terror watchlist or a no-fly list (these are often done simultaneously) would not be legally able to purchase a gun. The senators summarized this idea dozens of times as “no fly, no buy.”Though this phrase, which was quickly picked up by many of my colleagues in the media, has an easy and simplistic ring to it, it reveals a troubling ideology that profoundly rejects core American values. When Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights and when the inalienability of our rights was codified in the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, the United States was wedded to the Judeo-Christian principle that our rights stem from our humanity. This was expressly recognized recently by the Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller, in which it held that the right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental personal right, not a gift of the government to a group. A fundamental personal right is the natural ability of individuals to make meaningful choices without a government permission slip. May the government ever interfere with fundamental rights? The short answer is yes. The longer answer is that it can only do so if it can demonstrate a compelling governmental interest — served by the least restrictive means, and only after due process. Stated differently, if the government wants to silence your speech or deny you the right to self-defense, it must meet a very high burden in a public courtroom. It must demonstrate to a judge and jury that its need to silence or disarm you is compelling, and its goals may not be attained by any lesser means. Americans need not demonstrate a compelling need to speak or bear arms; the government must demonstrate a compelling need to prevent us from doing so. That is what lawyers call black letter law — meaning it is well-established, followed throughout the land and rarely challenged. Until now. Earlier this week in the Senate, the gun control crowd sought to give nameless and faceless federal bureaucrats the ability to strip Americans of their right to keep and bear arms by putting their names on a terror watchlist/no-fly list and prohibiting those on the list from buying guns. Yet none of these senators could state the criteria for putting a name on that list, and none could identify the people who prepare or keep the list. That’s because these are well-guarded government secrets — secrets that have no place in American life. If a government bureaucrat can put your name on a secret list on the bureaucrat’s own whim or even using secret standards and, as a result, you have lost a fundamental liberty, then the feds have transformed a natural right into a governmental gift. If the feds can create a no-fly list in secret and “no fly” comes to mean “no buy,” then we have no rights but what the government will permit us to do. As if to underscore his ignorance of American values, one of the senators even stated that due process is killing us. He must have forgotten his oath to uphold the Constitution, which guarantees that the government may not take life, liberty or property without due process. Due process — the absolute right to know the law and to force the government to prove a violation of it to a jury before it can take life, liberty or property — is the essence of the rights of free people. It is utterly scandalous — and probably disqualifying from office — that a senator could bemoan its existence. Can you see how low we have sunk? The gun control crowd doesn’t care about personal liberty in a free society; it just cares about control. It wants us all to be pliant and reliant on a government that it controls; never mind that it is utterly incapable of protecting us from crazies who will resort to mass death for their own deranged purposes. If the government secretly can put an American’s name on a secret list and, as a result, his liberty is lost, then there are no freedoms — just government-granted privileges. And if it can do this to the natural rights to travel and self-defense, can other fundamental rights be far behind?

US general warns Russia could OVERWHELM eastern Europe in just 36 hours as Putin blames Nato's 'aggressive actions' for building up his country's military forces

The warning came from the commander of US ground forces in Europe

Gen Ben Hodges said Russia could conquer Baltic capitals in 36 hours

Heavy military equipment could not be moved fast enough, he warned

Russia is creating new divisions along its southwest regions

By Ted Thornhill for MailOnline Published: 09:18 EST, 22 June 2016 | Updated: 15:54 EST, 22 June 2016

Nato would currently be unable to protect the Baltics against a Russian attack, the commander of US ground forces in Europe, General Ben Hodges, said in a news report Wednesday. 'Russia could take over the Baltic states faster than we would be able to defend them,' Hodges was quoted as saying in a German-language article by news weekly Die Zeit. His comments came as Putin slammed Nato for ratcheting up its rhetoric and its 'aggressive actions' close to Russia's border, warning it was forcing Moscow to increase its military capacity. General Hodges had said he agreed with an assessment by military analysts that says Russian forces could conquer the capitals of Baltic states Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia within 36 to 60 hours. Hodges also said Nato forces had found numerous deficiencies during the recent 'Anaconda' military exercise in Poland, according to the article from Thursday's edition of Die Zeit released early to AFP. Heavy military equipment could not be moved fast enough from western to eastern Europe, he said, while also voicing concern about the alliance's communication technology. 'Neither radio communication nor email are secure,' he was quoted as saying. 'I assume that everything I write on my BlackBerry is being monitored.' The Anaconda manoeuvre included troops from more than 20 Nato member states but was officially a Polish national exercise. Hodges told Die Zeit that 'some countries, like France and Germany, thought it would be too provocative toward Russia to call it a Nato exercise'. Putin's remarks about Nato aggression came on the 75th anniversary of the invasion of the USSR by Nazi Germany. 'Nato is stepping up its aggressive rhetoric and its aggressive actions close to our borders,' Putin told lawmakers. 'In these conditions, we are obliged to dedicate special attention to resolving tasks connected with heightening the defence capabilities of our country.' Putin also accused the West of rejecting Russian overtures to help tackle the common foe of 'international terrorism' - as it once ignored the Soviet Union's warnings about Hitler - as it seeks to isolate Moscow over the Ukraine crisis. 'Once again, as it was on the eve of World War II, (we) are not seeing a positive response,' Putin said. Relations between Russia and the West have slumped to their lowest point since the Cold War over Moscow's 2014 annexation of Crimea from Ukraine and its alleged masterminding of a separatist uprising. Russian aircraft have also increased tensions recently by launching a series of provocative intercepts of Nato, Swedish and other aircraft. Nato announced last week that it would deploy four battalions to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland to counter a more assertive Russia, ahead of a landmark summit in Warsaw on July 8-9. All four countries were once ruled from Moscow and remain deeply suspicious of Russian intentions, especially after Russia's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. Russia bitterly opposes Nato's expansion into its Soviet-era satellites and last month said it would create three new divisions in its southwest region to meet what it described as a dangerous military build-up along its borders.

9/11-era defense secretary is one of the most senior Republican figures to come out publicly for Trump

He says Hillary Clinton isn't qualified to sit in the Oval Office, and 'would probably be indicted' over her emails if she were a junior military grunt

Trump launched an all-out attack on Hillary Clinton on Wednesday at a speech in New York in which he lambasted her as a 'world-class liar'

Rumsfeld spoke in an interview while promoting his Android 'Churchill Solitaire' app, which recreates Winston Churchill's favorite card game

Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said Wednesday that he will support Donald Trump with his vote in November. The declaration, which Rumsfeld made in an interview with DailyMail.com, makes him the highest-ranking member of the George W. Bush administration to back the Republican Party's presumptive nominee. It's 'not a close call,' he said in a 25-minute phone interview. Rumsfeld said he agrees in principle with Trump's position on reforming the NATO alliance, keeping Syrian refugees at bay over fears of terrorist infiltration, and other issues. And besides, he added, 'I'm a Republican, and there's not any doubt in my mind how I'll vote,' and 'I don't believe Hillary Clinton is qualified to be President of the United States.' 'I am incredibly grateful for the support of Secretary Rumsfeld, and I am very honored he supports my stances on NATO, the need to defeat ISIS and stop immigration of Syrian refugees,' Trump told DailyMail.com in a statement. Bush, the 43rd president, has given no indication that he will back Trump, who bounced his younger brother Jeb from a vicious GOP primary process this year. The former president has indicated that he won't attend July's Republican National Convention in Cleveland, an event already being talked about as 'The Trump Show' inside party circles. Colin Powell, the Bush-era secretary of state, has been openly hostile to Trump over his immigration positions. 'Let's tell all the immigrants working in Trump hotels to stay home tomorrow. See what happens,' he told the Washington Ideas Forum last October. Rumsfeld said Powell's opposition to his party's standard bearer is unsurprising. 'He supported Obama, Colin did! That's nothing new,' he said. Rumsfeld spoke with DailyMail.com as part of a media tour aimed at promoting the release of his 'Churchill Solitaire' app on the Android platform. The iPhone version has been downloaded more than 650,000 times and represents Winston Churchill's favorite version of the play-alone card game. Rumsfeld said he learned the game in 1973 from André de Staercke, a Belgian NATO diplomat, who learned it 30 years earlier from Churchill himself. 'I was afraid it would be lost to the ages,' he said Wednesday, while admitting the technology mystified him at first. 'I didn't even know what an app was!' he marveled. 'Don't tell anyone.' An animated Rumsfeld, 83, was even more eager to talk about the Trump phenomenon, saying that a year ago 'you could count on one hand' the number of people who thought he would be the GOP nominee. While the former defense secretary said he and Trump have never met, he agrees with the real estate tycoon about what Trump calls the potential for a 'Trojan horse' infiltration of terrorists among the Syrian refugees whom the Obama administration has been resettling in the U.S. 'He's absolutely right,' he said. 'Anyone who thinks the radical Islamists are not going to try to utilize every venue they can find to infiltrate in the United States, and in western European countries, to achieve their goals – these people just don't get it.' 'They've announced what they're going to do,' he said of the ISIS terror army. On the refugee crisis and the need for a NATO reboot, Rumsfeld said he has arrived at a Trump-aligned position through a different line of argument. 'We've got an enormous obligation' to help fleeing Syrians, he said, 'and the United Nations is so incompetent and inept and unhelpful ... this refugee problem is the most heartbreaking thing in the world.' But instead of politicizing the issue and moving the refugees halfway around the world, he said, the U.S. should be mobilizing regional powers to give them somewhere to flee to. 'We've got an obligation to provide safe zones for them,' he said. 'We've got to be proactive rather than arguing whether we should have 1000 or 2000 or 3000' in the United States. 'How is what I've said different from what he's said?' he asked, referring to Trump – whose position is nearly identical but contains an extra layer of terrorism rhetoric. 'The way he said it got him the Republican nomination for president. The way I said it makes people's eyes glaze over' but is 'less concerning to some people. ''The only real difference is [that] one is striking a nerve.' Trump's immigration policy and his own views, he said, similarly arrive at the same end but form different starting points. Most immigrants, he said, don't 'want to impose a different system on us.' But 'countries ought to be able to maintain their values' in the face of immigrant populations that don't want to assimilate. On NATO, Rumsfeld emphasized that most media reports of Trump's stated goals have been inaccurate. 'People have played very fast and loose,' he said. 'What he actually said was different from the characterizations that followed.' Rumsfeld, once America's NATO ambassador himself, agreed with Trump that the internal compass of the organization needs an overhaul, proclaiming the presumptive nominee's position is 'not far from what I wrote ... to President Bush 13 or 14 years ago.' NATO, he said, was 'fashioned during the Truman administration, and they do need to be updated for the 21st century and the information age.' Hillary Clinton has pounced on popularized but inaccurate versions of Trump's NATO pronouncements, saying he would withdraw the U.S. from the alliance entirely. Rumsfeld framed the choice between Clinton and Trump in terms political historians will find familiar, relying on the words he used in 2002 to describe questions about the U.S. intelligence community's ability to spot weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. 'Mrs. Clinton is a known known. Donald Trump is a known unknown who's a recent entry into the equation,' he said, attributing the insight to his wife. 'And I am a lot more comfortable with a known unknown, who I will support, than with a known known who is unacceptable.' 'I couldn't support Mrs. Clinton,' he emphasized. 'What she has done with classified information I think is inexcusable and puts at risk people's lives [and] not just ours.' Clinton is facing an FBI investigation concerning classified material found among emails she housed on a homebrew private server while she ran the State Department. 'I personally believe that if she were a sergeant in the Army or a yeoman in the Navy, she'd probably be indicted,' he said. 'It's just inexcusable. You just can't do that!' The impact of Clinton's data security practices will be far-reaching, Rumsfeld predicted. 'Other countries will be less likely to share information with us,' he said, now that it's clear the U.S. government can't maintain the secrecy it once boasted as a core competency. And the potential for hacking, he said, means state secrets are falling 'into the hands of the other side,' which 'tells them that we had the information, which means they can figure out how we got it and stop us from getting more ... and even compromise the people who gave it to us or allow us to get it.' Rumsfeld also took issue with Clinton's statements to family members of U.S. personnel killed in a 2012 terror attack on a diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya. Those next of kin have said Clinton blamed their loved ones' deaths on an anti-Islam YouTube video, rather than identifying the carnage as the result of a jihadi attack. Her emails at the time show that she conceded the truth to her daughter and to foreign leaders. 'When Mrs. Clinton said to those people, the parents of the people killed, that it was the video, when she knew completely, certainly, that it wasn't' – he said, suddenly falling silent. 'I mean, I'm very uncomfortable with someone like that,' he concluded.

Paul Craig Roberts Just Exposed The Terrifying Reason Why The Elites Had To Stop Brexit At All Costs

June 22, 2016

Former U.S. Treasury Secretary, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, just exposed the terrifying reason why the elites had to stop Brexit at all costs. (King World News) Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: “If you read the presstitute media, Brexit—the referendum tomorrow on the UK’s exit from the EU— is about racism. According to the story line, angry rightwing racists of violent inclinations want to leave the EU to avoid having to accept more dark-skinned immigrants into England… Continue reading the Dr. Paul Craig Roberts piece below… Despite the constant propaganda against exit, polls indicated that more favored leaving the EU than remaining until a female member of Parliament, Jo Cox, was killed by a man that a witness said shouted “Brexit.” Cox was an opponent of leaving the EU. Cox’s Murder Used To Drive The Propaganda The UK government and presstitute media used Cox’s murder to drive home the propaganda that violent racists were behind Brexit. However, other witnesses gave a different report. The Guardian, which led with the propaganda line, did report later in its account that “Other witnesses said the attack was launched after the MP became involved in an altercation involving two men near where she held her weekly surgery.” Of course, we will never know, because Cox’s murder is too valuable of a weapon against Brexit. There is no doubt that many in the UK are disturbed at the transformation of their country. One doesn’t have to be a racist to feel that one’s country is being stolen from them by people of alien cultures. The British have a long history of fighting off invaders, and many believe they are experiencing an invasion, although not an armed one. An armed one, of course, would not have the government’s and media’s support. When British people hear pundits pronounce that immigrants contribute more to the UK than they absorb in social payments, what they hear is inconsistent with their experience. Moreover, many British are tired of having to avoid entire sections of their cities, including London, because of safety concerns. The U.K. Being Led Down The Rabbit Hole Of Its Own Destruction It is a propaganda choice to call these concerns racism rather than cultural defense, and the UK political establishment has made that propaganda choice. Little wonder so many British citizens no longer believe that the British Establishment represents Britain. But let’s give the propagandists the benefit of the doubt and for sake of argument assume that Brexit is about racism. What is the opposition to Brexit really about? Most certainly it is not about helping the refugees from Washington’s wars that the UK government has enabled. If the British establishment cared so much for the Muslims seeking refuge from America’s invasions, bombs, and drones, the British establishment would not have supported Washington’s attacks on these people. Opposition to Brexit is based on two powerful interests of Washington. The End Of London As A Financial Center? One is the interests of the New York banks and Wall Street to eliminate the UK as a financial center competitor. This blatant fact has escaped the notice of the City and the Bank of England. The British have forgotten that they only have one foot in the EU, because the UK was permitted to keep its own currency. The UK does not use the euro and, thus, retains the power to finance the British government. Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, etc., do not have this capability. They are dependent on private banks for financing. In order to trick the UK into joining the EU, the British were given special privileges. However, these privileges cannot last forever. The EU process is one of political integration. As I reported years ago, Jean-Claude Trichet, at that time the president of the European Central Bank, said that to complete the political integration of Europe, the fiscal policies of member states would be centralized. It is impossible to centralize fiscal policies if the UK is an independent financial center with its own central bank and currency. Why The Elites Had To Stop Brexit At All Costs Wall Street understands that the defeat of Brexit means a shortened lifespan for London as a financial center, as it is impossible to be a financial center unless a country has its own currency and central bank. As it is impossible for the UK to be a member of the EU and not operate under the European Central Bank, once the Brexit referendum is defeated, the process of gradually forcing the UK into the euro will begin. The other powerful interest is the interest of Washington to prevent one country’s exit from leading to the exit of other countries. As CIA documents found in the US National Archives make clear, the EU was a CIA initiative, the purpose of which is to make it easy for Washington to exercise political control over Europe. It is much easier for Washington to control the EU than 28 separate countries. Moreover, if the EU unravels, so likely would NATO, which is the necessary cover for Washington’s aggression. The EU serves Washington and the One Percent. It serves no one else. The EU is a murderer of sovereignty and peoples. The intent is for the British, French, Germans, Italians, Greeks, Spanish, and all the rest to disappear as peoples. Brexit is the last chance to defeat this hidden agenda, and apparently the British will vote tomorrow without having a clue as to what is at stake and what the vote is about.” ***Also just released: Shocking Interview From A Legend On Brexit And The Global Chaos That Will Ensue After Brexit CLICK HERE.

Hunting Humans Could Become 'Big Game' In Future As Economy Continues To Crumble - With The Elite Now Using Food As A Weapon Against Humanity, 'Dark Tourism' Is Already Worth Billions Yearly And Set To Explode As Chaos Takes Hold June 22, 2016

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

The story that the Drudge Report linked to on Tuesday from the Mirror sounds like something out of a dystopian science fiction horror novel but apparently it may one day become all too real; "Hunting Humans Set To Become Big Business For The Super Rich Within The Next 100 Years" we are told. As we hear in the 1st video below from WeaponizedNEWS.Com, we're now getting more and more proof that the 1% want to put the rest of us into a 'hunger games' scenario as we approach UN's Agenda-2030. The 2nd video below is the trailer for the classic movie "Running Man" which takes place, by the way, in the year 2017. ("Oh what timing!" Susan says!) While the elite hunting down humans might sound way out of the realm of possibility to some, the fact that the majority of men and women living in Venezuela are now very hungry with some resorting to hunting down dogs and cats to eat, just to survive, while the elite in Venezuela still dine on gourmet foods should send us a loud and clear signal that it's not out of the realm of possibility. When we also consider the way we're heading in society with dark and evil forces at work all around us, we should heed the warnings of what experts tell us it would take for our society to reach that point which they warn we're already approaching, though we may still be 100 years away from. Telling us that 'dark tourism' is a flourishing business even now in 2016 that is worth billions of dollars a year, we're told that the range of 'dark tourism' from now into the future range from scenes of death from concentration camps and museums dedicated to serial killers and mass murderers to one day featuring the real-life barbarism of the soulless elite hunting down other human beings for sport, and maybe food, if it's not happening privately already. As if we need more proof of how far America and the West have already fallen, we're told that the 'elite' will likely be willing to pay millions of dollars to be able to hunt down and murder other human beings and by the year 2200, such 'events' will likely become televised public spectacle, similar to 'The Hunger Games' or the classic 'The Running Man'.  The nightmare prediction comes from Daniel Wright, senior lecturer in tourism at the University of Central Lancashire in a paper for the scientific journal Futures. He outlined a world ravaged by economic and ecological disasters , leading to overpopulation and a huge gap between rich and poor. But, he said, it also reflect both the past when public executions attracted huge crowds, to the craze for 'Dark Tourism' that is currently work billions a year. This includes scenes of death from battlefields to Ground Zero, concentration camps open to the public and even museums dedicated to murderers such as Jack the Ripper or Dracula. What would it take for us to reach the point where the elite hunting human for sport is not only widely accepted but becomes a public spectacle such as the Hunger Games movie series that showed the youth hunting each other down for sport, in a sick public sacrifice, broadcast for the entire world to see? Is this what our world is coming to, a futuristic gladiatorial society where life no longer matters and people pay to witness or participate in public murder? Hunting humans as an underground sport could happen as early as 2100, the report suggests, but becoming an authentic tourism experience by 2200.Of course the world will have to take a turn for the worse to reach a situation where rich people can hunt poor people for sport. Daniel Wright said: "Death as a spectacle is not a new phenomenon in social spaces. "In fact, our past arguably shows the human fascination for death, through various forms, to be more of a social activity. "Roman gladiatorial games and public executions are well documented examples throughout history." Have America and the West already fallen so far that the future that is warned of for us as early as 2100, that includes the elite hunting down human beings, could become a reality far before they warned us it would? With the economy now heading towards freefall and evil spreading all around us as warned in these three recent stories from Susan Duclos on ANP, have we already arrived at a point where that crossover to barbarism is already upon us? It has been widely proven that the elite who are working to destroy America have a depopulation agenda in store for mankind so that they can get the population of the Earth down to their ideal number of 500 million as represented on the Georgia Guidestones. We have warned time and again that the elite will use food as a weapon upon the people and as we see now in Venezuela, a country without food quickly leads to widespread chaos. The fact that these elite would have no problem hunting down other humans and would actually pay to do so should come as no surprise to ANP readers who know that in this world, absolute evil exists and can be seen in many places all around us if one only looks hard enough to cut through the veil of deception that surrounds us. We're told it would likely take a "future 'captured in fear' scenario" that could lead to the sci-fi nightmare of human beings hunting other human beings down for sport (or food?) We'd venture to bet that it is already happening in small corners of the world where there is no media to broadcast it and nobody left after 'the games' to tell the world the truth. Ecological disasters mean not enough food or land to support the population and megarich tourists hunting the poor to keep the numbers down but as sport too. Wright, outlining his future vision, added: "During these activities the oppressive mega-rich carry out vacations to purposely slaughter humans, with the 'claimed' aim to reduce population size, but an element of perverse thrill and excitement was said to be fuelling the demand. "Due to the strain on resources for human survival the practice gradually became more recognisable and acceptable on the part of the wider population who form part of the wealthy-elite."

How the 'Brexit' Vote Could Impact Americans

By MORGAN WINSOR Jun 24, 2016, 1:03 PM ET

The so-called Brexit vote may seem far removed for most U.S. citizens, but the impact of Britain's exit from the European Union could affect Americans in more ways than one. About half of the American workforce participates in a company retirement plan, according to an analysis of data compiled by the Pew Charitable Trusts. If this includes you, then you’re one of the tens of thousands of people whose investments are at risk from the market turbulence. As Wall Street joins the global market selloff today, your 401(k) will decrease in value temporarily. The good news is that these retirement funds are long-term investments and should be able to weather the storm in the long run. ”No matter how old you are, we’re still looking to the markets to be going up ultimately,” Lauren Lyons Cole, a certified financial planner and personal finance editor at the International Business Times, said on a Facebook live video. “Today, [the markets] might be down 2 or 3 percent but that doesn’t mean you should sell everything – not by a long shot. You want to just keep steady and continue to watch it.” Your Mortgage American households and would-be homeowners will likely see mortgage rates and the cost of buying a house drop, at least in the short term. Investors are currently selling off riskier assets for safe havens, like U.S. Treasuries and gold. As demand for government debt soars, interest rates will fall, with the potential to cause mortgage rates to drop. "In the short term, the move by Britain will unsettle financial markets both in the U.S. and abroad, and likely lead investors to seek haven in safe assets outside of the U.K. and Europe," said Boston College economics professor Robert Murphy. "With a spike in demand for safe U.S. Treasury bonds, yields are likely to move downward. And as investors shift into dollar-denominated assets, the dollar will gain strength against the euro and the pound." The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 1.57 percent earlier today, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader data. The last time it was this low was in 2012 and mortgage rates followed suit. The average 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage has also sunk to nearly a three-year low in the past month, hovering around 3.7 percent. Financial analysts expect the Brexit vote to drive down rates even further in the coming weeks. “If you’re a borrower, don’t wait to lock your rate,” Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at Bankrate, told The Washington Post today. “As this opportunity may not last long.” At the current average rate, you’ll pay roughly $462 a month in principal and interest for every $100,000 you borrow, according to Bankrate. Your Business The U.S. dollar is surging in value in the exchange markets, which will drive up the cost for U.S. exports to the U.K. and elsewhere in Europe. This could bring down sales and profits for U.S.-based multinational companies, because the United Kingdom and the E.U. are huge export markets for the United States, totaling about $328 billion last year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Thirty firms in the S&P 500 generate more than 10 percent of their sales from the United Kingdom, according to data from FactSet Research. "With the E.U. being its largest trading partner, any slowdown in Europe will weaken growth in the U.S. over the near term," said Murphy, a former economist with the Clinton Administration. “Longer-term consequences of Brexit depend on how quickly the process of negotiating new trade and financial arrangements between Britain, the E.U., and other countries takes place. This surely will take several years, meaning that negative economic consequences are likely to be felt for some time.” Also, E.U. membership allows financial firms in the U.K. a “passport” to do business across the other 27 countries. That means American companies can do the same anywhere in the E.U. as long as they set up a branch or subsidiary in a member states. Forty percent of the world's top 250 multinational companies have their European headquarters in London, according to research by Deloitte. The loss of this “passport” will hit American businesses operating out of the U.K. Your Vacation Plans The International Monetary Fund has warned that a Brexit could force the U.K. into a recession. But as the British pound and other European currencies shed value against the U.S. dollar, that trip to London is looking more and more affordable. This means traveling to the U.K. and the rest of Europe will likely become considerably cheaper for U.S. citizens in the coming weeks.

Brexit Leaves Alarm Bells Ringing in Israel

By Yossi Mekelberg On 6/24/16 at 12:14 PM

The day after a tumultuous night, the United Kingdom woke up to a Brexit hangover. Months of fractious, even nasty, campaigning came to an end with a result that surprised even Leave voters themselves. It leaves the country and society divided, and in need of healing the deep rifts opened in the wake of the campaign and its aftermath. Many Britons up and down the country anxiously waited up all night for the results to be declared. Interest in this once-in-a-generation referendum, however, was not confined to Great Britain alone or even the EU, but far beyond. Israel might not be the first example that comes to mind as concerning itself with whether its former Mandatory power stays in or leaves the EU. Nevertheless, within Israel there was a strong, general curiosity about the referendum and more specifically a concern as to how it would affect the Jewish state. Israel has always had complex and even prickly relations with the European Union, mainly around the issue of peace with the Palestinians. From the Venice Declaration of 1980, which called for the right of Palestinians to self-determination, to the most recent French peace initiative, Europe has been seen as biased against Israel. Ironically, Israel is enjoying one of the most favorable trade and cultural agreements with this experimental supranational European entity. Hence, Israeli attitudes towards Brexit depend on whether one thinks it is good for the country to have a strong EU with Britain at the heart of it, or a weak one without it. Furthermore, views in Israel varied about the impact of Britain’s leaving the EU, from those who predicted almost no impact, to those who watched the situation with concern regarding the possibility of what would happen if Israel’s closest ally were to vote out. British Prime Minister David Cameron, in a last ditch attempt to convince members of the Jewish community to support the Remain campaign, told them rather bluntly: “Do you want Britain, Israel’s greatest friend, in there opposing boycotts, opposing the campaign for divestment and sanctions, or do you want us outside the room, powerless to effect the discussion that takes place?” Cameron appealed to a similar sentiment that I found prevalent in my most recent visit to Israel—that Israel needs Britain as a strong and supportive voice against those who are highly critical of Israel within the EU. The decision to leave and Cameron’s resignation come at the time when the mood in Brussels is that Israel’s expansion of settlements, or stand on not negotiating peace with the Palestinians, should no longer go unpunished. Interestingly enough, those close to the settlement movement in the West Bank urged Israelis with a right to vote in the referendum to support leaving the EU. For the Right in Israel it is in the country’s best interest to see a divided and weak European Union with little impact on the future of the occupied territories, in terms of financial aid to the Palestinians and especially a final status agreement. But they should be careful what they wish for in the name of their short-term partisan interest. Regardless, if one is a fan of the soon-to-be-former PM Cameron, he is one of the friendliest British leaders towards Israel in history. Whether inside or outside the European Union, a powerful and prosperous U.K. is important for Israel due to the close economic, strategic, scientific and cultural cooperation between the two. Great Britain is Israel’s chief trade partner on the continent and if its economy suffers as a result of leaving the EU, the ripple effect will be felt in Israel too. Despite growing calls in the U.K. and outside for an academic boycott on Israel, for instance, recently over 350 leading Israeli and British medical researchers met at the University of Oxford in the largest bilateral gathering in years. With the absence of British influence in Europe, Israel is going to be more vulnerable not only to a formal BDS but also the more subtle slowdown in collaboration on wide range of issues. Lastly, Israel as a Jewish state has a sense of responsibility towards world Jewry. Brexit represents, among other phenomena, the rise of nationalism not only in Britain, but across the entire continent. Far-right parties, such as the National Front in France or the Northern League in Italy, expressed their joy at the outcome of the British referendum and demanded similar referenda in their own countries. The rise of nationalism in Europe, of which Brexit is one manifestation, is not a good sign for minorities in the continent, especially for the Jewish minority and their very particular history of persecution. All considered, the British decision that its future lies outside the EU will raise a number of alarm bells among the decision makers in Jerusalem, especially knowing that there is very little they can do about it. Prof. Yossi Mekelberg is the head of the International Relations & Social Sciences Programme at Regent’s University London and associate fellow of the MENA Programme at Chatham House.

Deadlocked Supreme Court blocks Obama on immigration

By Lydia Wheeler and Jordan Fabian - 06/23/16 10:41 AM EDT

The Supreme Court dealt a critical blow to President Obama's immigration policies on Thursday, deadlocking in a 4-4 decision over two controversial programs the White House wants to implement. The tied vote leaves in place a lower court ruling that blocks a program allowing undocumented immigrants who are parents of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents to remain in the United States for three years and apply for work permits. It also prevents the administration from otherwise expanding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program issued by Obama in 2012. This is the most prominent Supreme Court case to stall in a 4-4 tie, and it raises the stakes further in this fall's presidential election. After Justice Antonin Scalia died in February, Obama nominated federal Judge Merrick Garland to the court. But Senate Republicans, even before that nomination, said they would not hold a vote or a hearing for anyone nominated by Obama, arguing the pivotal vote on the high court should be determined by the next president. The White House and Democrats in Congress have howled in rage over that move, and Thursday's decision will increase tensions over the Senate blockade. Obama in an appearance from the White House press briefing room decried what he called the "lack" of a decision by the eight-justice court. “The fact the Supreme Court wasn’t able to issue a decision today doesn’t just set the system back even further, it takes us further back from the country we want to be," he said. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) blasted the GOP Senate majority for failing to consider Garland in comments on the Supreme Court's steps. "This 4-4 decision is clear evidence we need nine justices on the court," Durbin said. Democratic Party standard-bearer Hillary Clinton has backed the president’s actions and said she would go even further as president to reshape immigration policy. "Today’s deadlocked decision from the Supreme Court is unacceptable, and shows us all just how high the stakes are in this election,” she said in a statement. Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump has pledged to place tough new restrictions on illegal immigration, including the construction of a massive wall along the U.S.'s southern border that he says Mexico will pay for. Republicans hailed the high court’s vote. “The Supreme Court’s ruling makes the president’s executive action on immigration null and void,” Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said in a statement. “The Constitution is clear: The president is not permitted to write laws — only Congress is. This is another major victory in our fight to restore the separation of powers.” Thursday's action does not affect the original DACA decision by Obama that allows certain children who entered or stayed in the United States illegally to remain in the country and apply for work permits. Twenty-six Republican-led states sued the federal government over the expansion of that program, as well as the new program for parents, after the president issued fresh executive actions in November 2014. The states claimed they would be burdened by having to spend more on public services like healthcare, law enforcement and education if undocumented parents of both American citizens and legal permanent residents were allowed to stay in the country. Texas, specifically, said it would be hurt by having to issue more driver's licenses, a benefit that’s now subsidized. Supporters of the administration argued that Texas could pass the added costs for driver’s licenses on to residents. They claim the challenging states actually stand to make money off Obama’s programs from an increase in tax contributions. A three-judge panel from a federal appeals court in New Orleans said in a split decision the Obama administration lacked the legal power to shield more than 4 million undocumented immigrants from deportation and grant them work permits. It handed a nationwide injunction preventing the administration from putting the programs into place. By failing to provide a new ruling on that decision, the Supreme Court's action on Thursday leaves it in place. The actual lawsuit suit filed by the 26 states is still working its way through the court system. When Obama took the action to expand his immigration programs, it was part of a last-ditch effort to take action after Congress failed to pass a sweeping overhaul of nation’s immigration system that would have offered a path to citizenship for millions of people living in the country illegally. Immigrant rights activists derided Obama as the “deporter in chief” for ramping up the pace of deportations during his first term. Since then, he’s taken steps to narrow the focus of immigration enforcement, and his executive actions were seen as a centerpiece of his push to reverse that trend.

Pentagon ban on transgender troops 'likely' to be lifted next month

Published June 25, 2016 FoxNews.com

The Pentagon is "likely" to repeal its ban on transgender service members next month, defense officials told Fox News Friday, even as one report claimed an announcement could happen as soon as next week. According to USA Today, top personnel officials could meet as soon as Monday to finalize details of the plan. Deputy Defense Secretary Bob Wolk would sign off on the plan and Defense Secretary Ash Carter would give his final approval shortly before the July 4 weekend. Pentagon officials would not confirm the USA Today report's timetable to Fox News, but spokesman Peter Cook told reporters earlier this week that a decision on the matter was coming "soon." "I can tell you that we have made progress," said Cook. "[Carter] has indicated that he expects to make a final decision soon, and that's exactly where we are." Late Friday, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, accused Carter of putting "the political agenda of a departing administration ahead of the military’s readiness crisis." Carter announced last year that the ban on transgender troops serving openly would be lifted unless it was proven that such an action would have a negative "impact on military effectiveness and readiness." In his statement, Thornberry said Carter had failed to answer a series of questions posed by the committee at the time of Carter's initial announcement, including the cost of modifying barracks and bathroom facilities. The Defense Department currently disqualifies transgender troops from the service on medical grounds. USA Today also reported that several issues related to repealing the transgender ban have caused contention at the Pentagon, most notably how long troops would need to serve before being eligible for gender reassignment surgery. Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson contributed to this report.

President Obama Refuses to Protect Californians' Religious Freedom

12:00PM EDT 6/22/2016 Bob Eschliman

U.S. Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), co-chair of the Bipartisan Congressional Pro-Life Caucus, reacted sternly Tuesday evening to news the Obama administration is now "reinterpreting" the Weldon Amendment to allow California's mandate that all insurance companies pay for abortion and abortion-inducing drugs to continue. Smith said the move was a "new low" for the administration. "This means that Californians, including churches, will continue to be forced to pay for elective abortions in their insurance plans," he said. "The Weldon amendment—named for the Florida Congressman Dave Weldon who authored it—has been renewed and signed into law annually, including by President Obama. "The Weldon Amendment protects against state-imposed abortion mandates, but Obama's administration has again shown blatant disregard for the rule of law." The Weldon Amendment is an annual appropriations rider, signed into law consistently since 2004, which protects against state-imposed discrimination on the basis of declining to pay for or participate in abortion. Since August of 2014, California has mandated that all churches in the state must cover all abortions in their insurance plans—even in plans where abortion had previously been excluded. Numerous churches filed complaints with the HHS Office of Civil Rights seeking enforcement of the Weldon Amendment. Tuesday, the HHS Office of Civil Rights released the results of its investigation into the California mandate, stating it "found no violation of the Weldon Amendment and is closing this matter without further action." Smith said the decision illustrates "the far reaches of Obama's radical pro-abortion ideology" by forcing churches and communities of faith that have pro-life convictions to "participate in and pay for a practice that dismembers and chemically poisons unborn children." "Congress must not let this discrimination stand," he said. "We must take this issue out of the hands of the Obama administration by moving enforcement of current conscience protections to the courts. Congress needs to enact legislation so churches and other victims have a 'private right of action' so they can have their day in court." Draw closer to God.

Obama creates first national gay rights monument

By Devin Henry - 06/24/16 12:00 PM EDT

President Obama has established a new national monument at New York’s Stonewall Inn, the first such dedication marking the gay rights movement in the United States. The Stonewall Inn is a Greenwich Village gay bar and the site of a police raid and subsequent riots in 1969 that helped ignite the American gay rights movement. In a White House video released Friday, Obama said that movement “ultimately became an integral part of America.” Naming a monument at Stonewall Inn as a national monument has been in the works for months. But its official commemoration on Friday comes as America’s LGBT community reels from the mass shooting that killed 49 people at an Orlando gay nightclub earlier this month. That attack, categorized by federal officials as both a hate crime and terrorist attack, has added fuel to the debate over federal legal protections for the LGBT community that had already played out publicly and acrimoniously in the U.S. House this year. It also brought the gay rights movement directly into the political debate over guns: the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s biggest LGBT advocacy group, announced last week that it would advocate for stricter gun control measure after the shooting. The Stonewall designation is part of an Obama administration effort to highlight the LGBT rights movement around the country. The Department of Interior announced in May 2014 that it would conduct a “theme study” of important LGBT sites around the United States. It has named nine sites historical landmarks or added them to the National Register of Historic Places since then. “Stonewall will be our first national monument to tell the story of the struggle for LGBT rights,” Obama said in the video. “I believe our national parks should reflect the full story of our country: the richness and diversity and uniquely American spirit that has always defined us, that we are stronger together, that out of many, we are one.” Interior Secretary and National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis will attend a dedication ceremony for the monument — in neighboring Christopher Park — on Monday. —This post was updated at 2:00 p.m.

NWO Wounded And Backs Against The Wall - Will Trump Deal Its Death Blow? 'Globalists To Launch Wave Of False Flags' To Stop The Liberty Movement

June 25, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

Long called 'conspiracy theory', a term invented by the CIA in 1967 to attack anyone who questions the 'official narrative', the 'new world order' and 'global elite' have been called out and rebuffed in huge ways in recent days, including a Brexit which sees those living in Great Britain taking their country back as well as the recent shock to Barack Obama's 'open doors to terrorists' immigration policy that was dealt a death blow by the US Supreme Court only days ago. As we hear in the first of two videos below from Infowars, the 'nwo' is wounded, and a presidency of Donald Trump would be THE opportunity to deal it a final death blow for our generation if not for all of time. Will Americans get a chance to take back our country from the globalist forces that have been attempting to rip our country away from us for many years with many warning that Barack Obama is leading the treasonous way? Susan Duclos told us in a story yesterday on ANP, after Brexit, the 'global elite' are now freaking out in panic and as we hear in the 2nd video below from Infowars and David Knight, the globalists are also unleashing a wave of false flags across the US in a last-ditch attempt to stop the liberty movement and Donald Trump. The only way that they can be successful is if Americans continue to stay dumbed down to false flag terrorism and the very real danger that Islam poses to so-called 'moderate' Muslims and anybody else not Islamic worldwide as ISIS terrorists continue global jihad. We have long warned that the globalists will never allow an 'America-1st' president to take office and we expect that they'll probably pull out all stops in an attempt to put an end to the Trump phenomenon, one way or another. As we were asked to do in a story from TruNews recently linked to on the website of Steve Quayle, if we are Christians, we should be praying for the health and safety of Donald Trump as according to Dr. James Dobson, Founder of Focus on the Family and a famous evangelical, Donald Trump has accepted Jesus into his heart and his life. Nearly two years ago, Barack Obama warned that 'there is not a force on Earth' that could stop his 'open doors to terrorists' immigration policy though now that it appears that his words have met up against 'that force', the US Supreme Court, which has told Obama he and his administration have stepped way over the line with his powers. Shouldn't a president or anyone else in America who are enabling and aiding terrorists in this country be held responsible for those decisions when they lead to situations like what happened in San Bernardino, California or Orlando, Florida, after Hillary Clinton's State Department blocked investigations into Omar Mateen's mosque? Isn't Hillary directly responsible for that 'alleged' massacre since her State Department could have stopped it if they'd followed through on their investigation? As we learned in this new story from All-Self-Sustained, this terrorist enabler has seemingly declared war against the American people with what they call a 'terrifying move against the American people,' a huge number of armed federal agents that have given him 'his own private army' that he told us years ago he was seeking to build. Telling us within this story that Obama's own private Army is even bigger than the US Marine Corps leads us to ask, are Obama and the rapidly failing 'new world order' planning on using this 'private army' against the American people in a last-ditch attempt to keep America part of the globalists playground, as well as keeping this country a terrorist breeding ground, rapidly expanding on Obama's watch? As we're told in the final video below, the globalists will likely attempt to pull out every last ditch effort and weapon in their arsenal in an attempt to keep control of our nation. Like a wounded animal with its back against the wall, the globalists now have very little to lose with their dreams of world domination crumbling, a rapidly awakening Western populace, and Donald Trump in the wings, ready to help Americans take our country back from the forces who have long been plotting against us. Will the globalists be successful in using their ultimate 'false flag' weapon, the ISIS terrorists that Hillary and Obama along with John McCain were responsible for arming, against us? Whether or not they soon pull off their 'final false flag' that leads to an America back under their thumb and the ever present boot stomping upon a human face forever or Americans finally rise up, once and for all, and take our country back, the answer is clear....only time will tell. This story of America fighting, once again, for freedom against globalist overlords is one of the most important stories in this day and age of humanity's fight for justice against this global cabal intent on forever enslaving the entire human populace. While Britain has temporarily won against globalists and tyranny, with Brexit, Americas fate hangs in the balance with an election only months away... and because of that...this story...will be continued. It's America's turn to take back our country's sovereignty now.

EXCLUSIVE AUDIO: Eyewitness confirms allegations that migrants raped five-year-old Idaho girl

June 22, 2016 Faith GoldyRebel Host

A five-year-old girl raped by Muslim migrant boys in America and the mainstream media’s first instinct is to dismiss the story and label local residents racist bigots and "Islamophobes"? The "don’t ask, don’t tell" doctrine on the refugee file is becoming painfully routine— but, playing politics over the alleged rape of a five year would seem unethical and indefensible. And yet, this week, that is exactly what happened. News out of an apartment complex in Twin Falls, Idaho: A five-year-old girl sexually assaulted in a laundry room by two refugee boys as a third boy looked on, filming the attack. An eighty-nine-year-old neighbour saw suspicious activity and approached the area to become eye witness to what can only be described as a fearful scene. Immediately, local papers rushed to discredit the story as false claims being spread to incite anti-refugee sentiment. And their narrative was bolstered the County Prosecutor who said there had been no Syrians, no knife, and no gang-rape. Well, just because the mainstream media was unwilling to follow up, doesn’t mean we here at The Rebel were about to ignore or downplay the broader allegations at the heart of this story. After one news outlet published the name of the alert eighty-nine year old who became eye witness to the alleged incident, I gave that woman, Jolene Payne, a call. WATCH my exclusive report about the incident and my conversation with Jolene Payne. According to Ms. Payne's account, there were three naked migrant boys in the laundry room with the naked five year old girl, who was covered in urine, and a fourth migrant boy stood outside filming the attack, which was what drew her to the scene. Ms. Payne does not know where the boys are from specifically but confirmed they were from migrant families. To be sure, according the the U-S State Department’s Refugee Processing Centre, Twin Falls Idaho has received over three hundred migrants from Iraq and over one hundred and sixty Sudanese migrants, while Idaho has received just shy of sixty Syrian migrants since war broke out there in 2011. Ms Payne, a former nurse, told me she had seen a lot in her long life but nothing like this. Ms. Payne also told me there was no knife involved, but that people might be confused because of another event in Twin Falls not long ago, which involved another migrant boy who pulled a knife on another little American girl. Ms Payne, referred to as "Grandma Jo" by the neighbourhood children, answered all my questions with consistency and a confident recollection of the facts. Her story did not sway. There was only one question I had left: Was there any evidence the five year old girl had been raped? Here’s what she told me:

Payne: Her dad and mother told me. And I told them, “Okay.” Yeah, that’s what they said at the hospital.

Goldy: So, the father and the mother told you that the little five-year-old girl had been raped?

Payne: Yeah, ‘cos they took her to the hospital in the ambulance and she was checked.

According to Ms Payne’s account, doctors told this little girl’s parents their five-year-old daughter had been raped. As stated in Islam’s Holy Book, the Quran, a woman’s testimony is only worth half that of a man’s and a woman needs four witnesses to prove a rape occurred. Often times, in Muslim countries, rape victims are found to be at fault. But here in North America, we aren’t ruled by Sharia law. And, despite bleats from the Left, there is no rape culture in the West. In America, rapists are charged, tried, and convicted based on evidence and the rule of law. In the wake of the Orlando terrorist attack, political correctness concealed the shooter’s Islamist motives and left the gay community in the dark. I pray, in the wake of the Idaho attack, political correctness does not obscure real rape culture to leave this little girl re-victimized, but brings her migrant attackers to justice so that they might never re-offend. (NOTE: This isn't the first time I've had to follow up on dismissed allegations of child abuse where the perpetrators were Muslim migrant children -- I did so in Halifax earlier this year.)

Obama Bashes Whitey in Speech at Entrepreneurship Summit (Video)

Jim Hoft Jun 24th, 2016 2:23 pm 261 Comments

Barack Obama spoke at the 2016 Global Entrepreneurship Summit Friday in Palo Alto, California. This was his first speech after the Brexit vote left another mark on his years of failed leadership at home and abroad. Obama: When people can start their own businesses it helps people and families succeed… It offers a positive path for young people seeking to make something of themselves and can empower people who previously have been locked out of the existing social order, women, minorities, others who aren’t part of the old boys network. Did you catch that? According to Obama only women and minorities aren’t part of the “good old boy” networks – run by white men. He must believe ALL WHITE MEN are openly accepted in all the “good old boys” networks. According to Obama, all white men are granted privileges and given access not because of their work but because of their skin color. Isn’t that racist? This man is so offensive – and ignorant. Of course, the liberal media won’t say anything because they believe it is perfectly acceptable to single out and abuse white men.

Trump: America has Chance to ‘reject rule by global elite’

Trump on Brexit: "Basically, they took back their county”

Adan Salazar - June 24, 2016

Presidential candidate Donald Trump on Friday congratulated the UK for voting to assert its independence from the European Union, and encouraged the American people in November to also assert their independence from the “global elite.” Following the British vote to exit the EU, Trump said the election results marked a shift toward more nationalistic tendencies.

Obama Declares WAR On America With TERRIFYING Move Against The People

There’s little question whether or not we live in troubled times, but a move from the Obama administration has many people questioning the motive behind it and whether or not it’s preparing for war with the people. As we all know, it’s illegal for our military to carry out any operations on our homeland against the American people. Of course, even if such an illegal order was given, our brave men and women who serve would ignore it anyway, as would many who served in the National Guard, which makes one wonder; why are our federal bureaucracies so heavily armed? A new report from Open the Books, a taxpayer watchdog group, found that for the first time in American history, there’s more armed domestic federal government employees than there are members of the Marine Corps, and that number is steadily rising. The Washington Free Beacon has more: There are now more non-military government employees who carry guns than there are U.S. Marines, according to a new report. Open the Books, a taxpayer watchdog group, released a study Wednesday that finds domestic government agencies continue to grow their stockpiles of military-style weapons, as Democrats sat on the House floor calling for more restrictions on what guns American citizens can buy. The “Militarization of America” report found civilian agencies spent $1.48 billion on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment between 2006 and 2014. Examples include IRS agents with AR-15s, and EPA bureaucrats wearing camouflage. “Regulatory enforcement within administrative agencies now carries the might of military-style equipment and weapons,” Open the Books said. “For example, the Food and Drug Administration includes 183 armed ‘special agents,’ a 50 percent increase over the ten years from 1998-2008. At Health and Human Services (HHS), ‘Special Office of Inspector General Agents’ are now trained with sophisticated weaponry by the same contractors who train our military special forces troops.” The same report found that there’s over 200,000 armed non-military federal officers with arrest capability, and they have the same weaponry that the military uses. So what’s it all for? If you remember, on July 2, 2008, then-presidential candidate, Barack Obama said, “We cannot rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We gotta have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.” Perhaps that offers us some clues as to why these agencies aren’t relying on local police like they used to. So is Obama now arming these agencies so they become the domestic military force that he said we needed back in 2008? At the end of September 2015, Pope Francis boarded a plane back to the Vatican after and extremely controversial trip to America. Shortly after he left, Obama was back in the public eye, attacking religious freedom. Later that night, at a Democratic National Committee-sponsored event in New York, promoted as a “LGBT Gala,” Obama took the stage. During his speech, he warned Christians throughout the country that religious freedom was not as important as gay rights. “We affirm that we cherish our religious freedom and are profoundly respectful of religious traditions,” the POTUS said. “But we also have to say clearly that our religious freedom doesn’t grant us the freedom to deny our fellow Americans their constitutional rights.” Obama criticized Christian groups for their “genuine concerns.” Still, he insisted that the issue was being pushed by Republicans, who were simply trying to acquire more votes. Fast forward to today, and it is clear that Obama is more than happy to throw out our Constitutional rights entirely as long as he gets more votes for his anti-gun agenda. It is ironic that Obama ignores the constitution when it comes to our gun rights, but clings on to it to push his LGBT agenda. “America has left the leaders of the Republican Party behind,” Obama said during his speech in September, before lashing out at then-candidates Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, and Mike Huckabee. It is very clear from Obama’s actions that the US citizens needs to be disarmed while a new army (that will obey his demands) is growing every day. Where do you think his actions will lead? Well, that remains to be seen, but this much is for certain; these agencies don’t need this kind of weaponry given the jobs they’re tasked with, so something sinister appears to be happening behind the scenes.

'It's one of the most devastating I've ever seen': California wildfire kills an elderly couple, destroys 80 homes, threatens 1,500 more and triggers evacuation

Fire has broken out at Lake Isabella, near Bakersfield in central California

Several thousand people have been told to evacuate as flames spread

Elderly couple trying to flee from flames were overcome with smoke and killed, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said

By Associated Press and Chris Summers For Mailonline Published: 01:30 EST, 24 June 2016 | Updated: 01:10 EST, 25 June 2016

A deadly wildfire that roared through dry brush and trees in the mountains of central California gave residents little time to flee as flames burned dozens of homes to the ground, propane tanks exploded, and smoke obscured the path to safety. An elderly couple trying to flee from the flames were overcome with smoke outside of their house and killed, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said. Their bodies were found Friday near Lake Isabella, a popular recreation area east of Bakersfield that was ravaged by wind-whipped flames, said Phil Neufeld, a county fire spokesman. At least 80 houses were destroyed in the southern Sierra Nevada as the fire burned out of control across nearly 47 square miles, leveling neighborhoods and forcing thousands of people to flee from fast-moving flames. The names of the two dead have not been released. The sheriff said his department hasn't been able to search very extensively and would be looking through burned homes with cadaver dogs seeking more possible victims. David Klippel, 78, a retired police officer, said he didn't see much of a threat after receiving an automated call advising him to leave. That changed dramatically within an hour Thursday afternoon. 'I've never been so close to a fast-moving, ferocious fire. It was unbelievable,' said Klippel, who later learned his house had caught fire. 'I almost didn't have time to get out.' Neighborhoods of mobile homes were charred to their foundations. Gusty winds pushed the flames and smoke farther into drought-starved terrain. The fire is 5 per cent contained. 'The forces of nature collided with a spark,' Kern County Fire Chief Brian Marshall said. 'The mountainous terrain, five years of drought and wind gusts of over 20 mph all drove a fire over 11 miles in 13 hours.' Scorching heat and tinder-dry conditions across the West have contributed to massive wildfires in the past week that have destroyed properties and sent residents to seek shelter and hope for the best. Laura Rogers was one of those who thought she'd never see her home or her brother's home again. Instead, she was lucky to find both standing in a neighborhood of mobile homes that was devastated. 'I was sure this place was gone last night,' Rogers said through tears as she gestured at the destruction around her. 'I mean look at this, I can't believe it. It's like a scary movie.' The downspout of her brother's home was melted on the ground, but the structure was intact. Dozens of other homes were gone, left in piles of charred sheet metal and cinderblock foundations. Scorched tricycles, air conditioners and TV dishes littered the landscape. Burned-out cars sat on tireless rims and leafless trees poked from barren, blackened dirt. The California blaze erupted quickly, putting some 1,500 homes in jeopardy. Three firefighters suffered from smoke inhalation. Crews faced a 'firefight of epic proportions' as they tried to protect neighborhoods, Marshall said. Officials said they expect to find many more homes destroyed as the smoke clears and they do a more thorough check of smoldering neighborhoods. Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency, freeing up money and resources to fight the fire and cleanup its aftermath. It also temporarily suspends some state regulations and waives fees as a way to ease the return of evacuees and those who have lost homes. Dramatic video from Thursday night showed homes fully engulfed and others already gone as propane tanks flared up and popped. Flames glowing in the steep, rocky hillsides were reflected on the lake. Residents described a frantic flight from communities surrounding the lake, a dammed section of the Kern River that is a destination for boating, fishing, rafting, hiking and camping. Cachet Kirby, 22, of Mount Mesa and her neighbors grabbed clothes, blankets and their dogs and fled through thick smoke as flames charged down the slopes. 'It was to the point you couldn't see, you couldn't breathe,' she said. She and others, exhausted Friday morning after little sleep in shelters and cars, were desperate for information about their homes. 'We could have gotten lucky and the wind shifted, or our house could be burned down,' Kirby said. Cellphone service was cut off in many areas, contributing to the anxieties. Very low humidity and gusty winds of up to 55 mph could worsen the blaze that broke out amid high temperatures and climbed over at least three ridges into hillside neighborhoods. Kern County fire captain Tyler Townsend said: 'I've never been in a wildland fire where I've seen so many homes burn. It's one of the most devastating I've ever seen.' Capt Townsend said many of the houses in the area have propane tanks, adding to the danger. Several thousand people were told to evacuate in Bella Vista, South Fork, Weldon, Onyx, Lakeland Estates, Mountain Mesa, South Lake, Squirrel Valley, and Yankee Canyon. But some have refused to leave their homes. Hillside homes along dirt roads were consumed by heavy flames in Squirrel Mountain Valley, a community of about 500 people. Smoky haze could be seen for miles around, and orange flames lit the evening air as planes and helicopters dropped brightly colored flame retardant on the blaze. Elsewhere in the state, cooler weather helped crews fighting two fires that burned more than eight square miles of chaparral and brush in the Angeles National Forest and foothill communities northeast of Los Angeles. More than 1,300 homes in Duarte and Azusa were evacuated, but half have been allowed back. Near the Mexican border in San Diego County, an 11-square-mile fire burned down five homes.

'Clock is ticking' for megaquake in Missouri that could cause 'all hell to break loose' across Middle America

The New Madrid Seismic Zone is 150 miles long

Experts say a quake would impact seven states - Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi

By Mark Prigg For Dailymail.com Published: 12:24 EST, 24 June 2016 | Updated: 15:46 EST, 24 June 2016

While San Andreas and Cascadia are well known for their potential to cause a megaquakes, researchers have warned a little known fault in the midwest is also long overdue a tremor. The New Madrid Seismic Zone is 150 miles long, and experts say a quake would impact seven states - Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi. They claim 'all hell would break loose,' with 715,000 buildings damaged and 2.6m people left without power. The Mid-America Earthquake Center at the University of Illinois released a report in 2009, which suggested the effects of a force seven or stronger quake from the fault line. Amr Elnashai, the study's lead author, wrote 'All hell will break loose.' The 150-mile (240 km) long fault system, which extends into five states, stretches southward from Cairo, Illinois; through Hayti, Caruthersville and New Madrid in Missouri; through Blytheville into Marked Tree in Arkansas. It also covers a part of West Tennessee, near Reelfoot Lake, extending southeast into Dyersburg. It is southwest of the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone. Most of the seismicity is located between 3 and 15 miles (4.8 and 24.1 km) beneath the Earth's surface, researchers believe. The area has not seen significant earthquakes for more than 200 years. In the winter of 1811 and 1812 there were three earthquakes of magnitude 7 - as high as 7.7 - and a series of aftershocks across the American Midwest.

West Virginia flooding, worst in '100 years,' leaves at least 23 dead, including two children

BY David Boroff NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Updated: Saturday, June 25, 2016, 12:04 AM

Some of the worst flooding in West Virginia "in 100 years" has left at least 23 people dead, including two children. Tens of thousands of residents were left without power and many roads were impassable after nine inches of rain came down on Thursday, officials said. The hardest hit counties include Greenbrier, Nicholas, Fayette, Kanawha and Webster. In Greenbrier, a flaming house could be seen floating down a creek. Approximately 100 homes have been damaged, and the death toll rose to 23 by Friday night, WCBH-TV reported. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin said that there had been 9 inches of rain in the state, adding, "It's been a long 24 hours, and the next 24 hours, and the next 24 hours may not be an easier." Tornado kills 51 people, destroys numerous buildings in China His address came as the deluge brought unprecedented damage to the Mountain State. "Roads destroyed, bridges out, homes burned down, washed off foundations," Greenbrier County Sheriff Jan Cahill said. "Multiple sections of highway just missing. Pavement just peeled off like a banana. I've never seen anything like that." An 8-year-old boy and a 4-year-old boy who were swept away in different counties, authorities said. The death toll was expected to increase, said Cahill, who described "complete chaos" in his county. "Today's just an accountability mission, trying to verify where everybody's at and follow up on missing person tips," Cahill said. "It's really hard to navigate around because there's just a ton of debris. We've even had rescuers that had to be rescued."

"It's really hard to navigate around because there's just a ton of debris. We've even had rescuers that had to be rescued." Two earthquakes jolt Ecuador just a month after quake killed 661 The body of 8-year-old Emanual Williams, known as "Manny," was found after he fell into Big Wheeling Creek on Thursday, said Wheeling pastor Harry Croft. Manny's mother told him that she was walking across the creek with her son and daughter because Manny wanted to catch crayfish. One of the kids slipped, and the mother grabbed both the boy and his sister in the swift current. "She lost her grip on Manny," the pastor said. The 4-year-old boy, identified by NBC News as Edward McMillion, was found about a quarter mile from where he fell into a creek, which usually runs about ankle deep but rose to about 6 feet deep when Jackson County was pounded with rain. W. Va. man accused of killing 3 victims over firewood arrested The boy was outside with his grandfather, who jumped in after the boy but the water was rushing too quickly. Neighbors, alerted by screams, tried to help save the boy but were also unable to reach him. Belinda Scott had fled to the attic after smelling gas, though her house then blew up and killed her two dogs. She held on to a tree for more than four hours before being rescued, and is currently hospitalized with burns on 67% of her body, her husband Ronnie said. A state of emergency was issued Thursday for 44 of the 55 counties in the state. Tomblin authorized the deployment of up to 200 members of the West Virginia National Guard to help local emergency responders. N.J., Brooklyn kin of dead Fort Hood soldiers recall loved ones "We had swift water rescue teams out until late last night and back out again his morning literally rescuing people from rooftops and upper stories of houses," he said. One of those rescued from the top of his roof was Paul Moya, who is diabetic. "I'm still shaking," he told CBS News from the hospital. "I really just want to break down and cry right now. All I could see was the homes burning and the electrical poles burning. I think I could say that now I was scared." “We surely need your prayers, because there’s a lot of people hurting right now,” Greenbrier Resort owner Jim Justice told The Weather Channel. Pro golfer Bubba Watson was at the resort and tweeted photos of entire holes underwater: "Prayers for @The_Greenbrier & surrounding areas. We are without power & it's still raining. Never seen this much rain! #WestVirginiaBeSafe." Rescue crews on Friday began evacuating approximately 500 people trapped by high water at the Crossings Mall in Elkview. Eric Blackshire was able to get to safety when volunteer firefighters used a rope to guide people down a hillside. "It was kind of like a hurricane party. I guess you could call it a flood party. There were lots of beers being drank last night," he said. Kanawha County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Brian Humphreys said a temporary bridge may be needed to get everyone out. Richwood Mayor Robert Johnson said there was extensive damage to his city. "We pretty much live in a bowl, and the bowl filled with water, certainly," he said. Some areas were looking at flooding "that's going to be the worst in 100 years," said Chris Stadelman, Tomblin's communications director. "My mother-in-law has lived here for 80 years, and this never happened before," Mark Burgess of Elkview told NBC News. "There is nothing you can do. We can call for help if it's too deep, but it's OK right now." A dam at Summit Lake was operating normally but was being watched closely, the Gazette Mail reported. "The dam is still there. It is still functioning the way it is supposed to function," Ray Torres, deputy forest supervisor at the U.S. Forest Service headquarters in Elkins, told the paper. Across the state line, the crisis is nearly as dire in Virginia. Gov. Terry McAuliffe declared a state of emergency due to the flooding in Alleghany County and Covington. The Virginia Department of Transportation warns that more than a dozen Alleghany County roads were closed Friday morning. There were approximately 1,700 customers without power statewide. "It's really bad. There's a raging river," Alleghany County Chief Sheriff's Deputy Matt Bowser told NBC News. "There's 500-gallon oil tanks and trash cans and gas cans and tree trunks floating down the river where people's backyards are. You can see people in the second-story windows waiting to be evacuated." With News Wire Services With TOBIAS SALINGER

CNN Talking Head, Fareed Zakaria, Kicked into Touch by Russia’s President Putin

June 24, 2016 By Vanessa Beeley 5 Comments Vanessa Beeley 21st Century Wire

In October 2015, Council on Foreign Relations member and CNN talking head, Fareed Zakaria, made the following statement on his blog that aptly demonstrated the yawning chasm that exists between Whitehouse media mouthpieces and the reality of the war against Syria fomented and fuelled on all fronts by a US government protecting its geopolitical interests and those of its allies in the region in the only way it understands, via “regime change” “If defeating the Islamic State is important, then it has to become the overriding priority, allying with any outside forces that will join the fight. If Assad falls and jihadis take Damascus, that would be worse than if Assad stays. This doesn’t mean providing Assad with any support, but allowing him to create an Alawite enclave in Syria, of a kind that is already forming. The Kurds and moderate Syrians are creating their own safe spaces as well. Even if the civil war ends and a country called Syria remains, these groups will not live all intermingled again.” “So far in Syria, the West has combined maximalist, uncompromising rhetoric with minimalist, ineffective efforts. It is the yawning gap between the two that is making Vladimir Putin look smart.” ~ Fareed Zakaria In this mind-boggling display of that all too familiar American exceptionalism, the attributes of any world statesperson being entirely dependent upon their reflection in the US mirror, Zakaria set himself up for a crashing fall. That fall came when Zakaria was invited to moderate a panel discussion at Saint Petersburg Economic Forum, which ran from June 16th to June 18th of this year. Present on stage were, Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, President Putin, and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. Putin throughout the interview manages Zakaria with his usual adroit and intelligent responses. However, when Zakaria confronts Putin with reference to his alleged comments on Trump, we see the full force of Putin’s razor sharp wit and intellect turned against the CNN frontman with devastating effect. The quote that Zakaria refers to is taken from The Hill and Political Insider among others: Russian President Vladimir Putin had kind words for his “stablemate” Donald Trump during an annual end-of-the-year Q&A session in Moscow. “[Donald Trump is] a really brilliant and talented person, without any doubt,” [Vladimir] Putin told reporters, according to a translation by Interfax. “It’s not our job to judge his qualities, that’s a job for American voters, but he’s the absolute leader in the presidential race.” [emphasis added] Zakaria with the smugness of certainty in his information asks Putin if he stands by his opinion of Trump. Putin responds with the certainty that comes from the experience of dealing with propagandists. He clears his throat and projects the sardonic look that he is expert at which illicits a ripple of laughter from his audience and fellow guests. Putin: “You are very well known in our country Mr Zakaria, and not only as a presenter with one of the world’s largest TV networks but also as an intellectual, so let me ask you, why do you keep distorting facts? The journalist tramples upon the analyst expert in you. What I said was that Mr Trump is a flamboyant, colourful, bright personality but isnt he flamboyant? He is, and there is nothing more to add. What I really like about him, and I very much welcome that, is Mr Trump said he would be willing to restore a fully fledged relationship between Russia and the US [applause]. I think everyone would be happy, wouldnt you? ” The Zakaria grimace speaks volumes… ZAKARIA: Turning noticeably red. The interview in full is a further demonstration of how Russia is stealing the march on its US rivals in every sense, diplomatically, politically and militarily in Syria. While our world leaders and representatives in the west trip over their own lies, Russian, Syrian and Iranian statesmen and women maintain a dignity, integrity and intellectual prowess that is captivating to watch. Here is the panel discussion in full, enjoy the second slap down regarding Putin’s working with Hilary Clinton: Last fall, another monolithic establishment media outlet, the BBC, dispatched its own institutional set-piece, John Simpson, to St. Petersberg in order to publicly confront Russia’s Putin. The results were similar that of CNN’s Zakaria, as Putin skillfully deconstructed Simpson’s own dry Council of Foreign Relations and UK Foreign Office talking points and one-sided world view. Watch that embarrassing exchange here:

Hussein Obama, 50; America, 0:More Adventures in Multiculturalism

Posted on June 16, 2016 by Fred Reed

Orlando? So what else is new? Why the excitement? I am puzzled that everyone is distraught over a perfectly ordinary act of terrorism by a perfectly ordinary Muslim terrorist. We have seen these attacks before and will see them again. They grow monotonous, like car crashes. They are as interesting as a commercial break. Why the surprise? We know Muslims kill Christians. We know they stone adulteresses to death. We know they drive airplanes into buildings. We know they mutilate women. We know they bomb airliners. We know they destroy historic monuments. We know they kill their daughters for losing their virginity. We know they kill homosexuals. We know they make coordinated mass attacks on cities. We know they are incompatible with societies of the First World. We know they have no respect for our laws. We know they hate us. Knowing all of this, what do we do? Why…of course! What else? We import more of them. Nothing could make more sense. Ten thousand Syrians, coming to your neighborhood. Thank you, Obama. Thank you in advance, Hillary. More precisely, Hussein Obama imports them. A black President with Islamic roots, barely American, who dislikes white people and recruits immigrants of his two ethnicities as hard as he can. We get utterly unassimilable Somalis in Minnesota, and all the Muslims he can find. Fifty gay men have just paid the price. For Hussein’s policy. The man fascinates me. The two worst actors that America has suffered since Lincoln are Osama bin Laden and Hussein Obama. They easily fit into any list of history’s most effective and influential men, being true geniuses. For a few hundred thousand dollars and an army of a couple of dozen, bin Laden stunningly humiliated America on international television, turned the country into a police state frightened of everything, inspired abrogation of its Constitution, and sucked the country into unending wars. On a cost-benefit basis, it was astonishing. He up-throttled national decline and has Americans hopping barefoot in airports while recordings on subways tell us to watch each other and report “suspicious behavior.” Hussein Obama is in the same majestic league. He has said that he wants to “transform” America, and he has, has he ever, by simply doing what he wants. He found and exploited the hidden weakness in American government, which is that nobody has the balls to tell him “No.” He has won by sheer force of will. You’ve got to hand it to the guy: he’s good. He has set the stage for, at least, unending divisiveness and very possibly for civil war. He will bring in as many more incompatible savages as he can before leaving office, and Hillary, if elected, will be Obama continued by other means. Amazing. The combined militaries of Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany could not do as much lasting harm as this one man. Why does he do it? Look at it as revenge for slavery. Obama bin Osama, I strongly suspect, does. Our post-racial President is in fact the most racial. For those killed by Omar, and their families and friends, there is nothing amusing about the slaughter. In a certain abstract sense, there is. America is like a man beating on his thumb with a hammer and yelling, “Oh! Ouch! Oooh! It hurts!” Why doesn’t he just stop? Well, that would be hammer-phobic. Countries deserve what they tolerate. They even more deserve what they encourage. From Drudge: “Imam speaking in Orlando said gays must be killed out of ‘compassion’…” Hmmmm. Might this not be homophobic? I dare not say so, for fear of being thought Islamophobic. Which I am not. No. I suffer from Islamonausea. It seems that gays have to be killed on the authority of some Fourth Century towel rack. It is because the Religion of Peace says so. If a televangelist in Kansas said that homosexuals had to be killed for Jesus, the entire zoo of talking heads would be on him like lice on a leper and the FBI would gin up fraudulent charges. Watch the media for the outrage that won’t exist as they cover up. You can bet that Hussein Obama will say nothing against his own people. From the standpoint of a curmudgeon, to which ashen-souled tribe I belong, the events in Orlando provide the gray satisfaction of confirmation. We in our dismal trade derive no joy from unavoidable sufferings springing from the routine malice of existence—cancer, automobile wrecks, birth defects—but we thrive on the self-inflicted, on the finger-hammerings accompanied by cries of “Ouch!” We observe that Muslims are nothing but trouble anywhere, so we import Muslims. We observe that diversity is the chief source of bitter strife in the world, so we open the borders. When seeking employees, we deliberately hire people who can’t do the job. In our universities we purposely admit those who neither can nor want to learn. Then, when the obvious, the predictable, indeed the inevitable unexpectedly occurs, we insist that it really didn’t, or shouldn’t have, or wouldn’t have, or something, and do it again. In its way it is wonderfully funny. Unless of course you are among the dead. In Paris the day after Orlando, another Mohammedan emissary of peace stabbed to death a policeman and his wife. (“Allahu Akbar: ‘Mohamed Ali’ Stabs Cop on Street, Slits Throat of Wife…”) Yes, Paris, the city in which heartwarming Muslims have carried out coördinated simultaneous bombings, killed editorial staffs of publications that irked them, burned banlieues and countless cars and successfully intimidate the police. Mon dieu! What can these isolated incidents have in common? Nobody knows. Perhaps the perpetrators were troubled youth. Actually the comic people are only those who generate a personal reality-distortion field and do hilariously foolish things. At the top of the political dunghill it is not stupidity but design. Or so it must be…mustn’t it? One expects academics to gibber and squeak, and neurally-challenged columnists and rabble studentry and talking heads and so on. It takes some very serious believing to believe that the governments of England, France, Holland, Sweden, Denmark and America are too stupid to have noticed what Muslims do, and what they are doing to those countries. Yet governments cover up, hide identities, punish observation as “hate speech,” and keep pumping the barbarians in. Why? Opening America’s southern borders make sense because it makes money for those for whom it makes money. Who profits from flaming arrondissements, explosions in subways, and dead gays? Ah, but the irony is delicious. London, once master of most of the world, has become a branch office of Pakistan and now has a Muslim mayor, who sets about correcting the morals of the English. No photos of women in skimpy clothes, you degenerate rascals. Can caning be far behind? It does a curmudgeon good.

Coincidence Crowed At Barclays Before Brexit

11 days after the Orlando Pulse shooting, the Orlando Magic drafted a player who wears #11 with the #11 overall pick, immediately traded for Serge Ibaka (pronounced “Surge”) on the same night Independence Day: ReSURGEnce opened. This was 11 days before July 4th and the following weekend The Purge: Election Year will open nationwide. PULSE – SURGE – RESURGENCE – PURGE. All events connected by the number that means chaos, disorder and judgment. One of the many non-coincidences from last night we will be covering. Barclays Center in Brooklyn would host the 2016 NBA Draft on June 23rd. Within hours of its conclusion, Barclays would release their statement, Barclays CEO on Brexit vote: “We have stood in service of our customers and clients for over 325 years … That does not change today”. Barclays was established on 11/17/1690, 5540 days later Benjamin Franklin would be born. The events of the past few weeks tie into America’s founding, through its independence from Britain. More importantly, we are witnessing what can only be described as conspicuous warnings that the world is entering a new phase in the coming years, if not sooner. Do NOT allow your eyes to glaze over when you see numbers. For those who can withstand the onslaught of information you will be blessed. Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. If you fear God you need fear nothing else. Out of my fear of God I feel a responsibility to pay attention to His concealed glory. An artist would not much appreciate a patron of the gallery to take a quick dismissive glance. Our Creator is THE Artist of all, let us examine His work and not be shortsighted in what we think constitutes His medium. All the earth is His canvas. If it weren’t for God’s grace and Him providing me this outlet I would most certainly be institutionalized. This is both astonishing and vexing. After addressing the following question we are going to briefly lay a foundation with some overlapping dates which connect major current events. This will be followed by the fascinating connection between Barclays and Brexit, then some aspects of the Draft which jumped out at me. I had no intention of covering this stuff, in fact, nothing I intend to cover do I actually get around to writing about. As with most all other posts, this chose me I did not choose it. How insignificant we really are, in our vanity we make plans but then the NBA Draft happens. But Lord, people are complaining I write about sports too much… Sometimes I like to pretend to be the captain of the crow, a laughable reality for anyone who knows what goes down behind the scenes. The Question Frequently Asked – Why Do You Cover American Sports? One reason is that aside from Hollywood, sports in the west is the largest single entertainment category that crosses all social lines. Young, old, black, white, male, female, Muslim, Jewish. All can relate on one level or another to sports. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who hasn’t thrown or hit a ball, shot a basket or swung a club. The entertainment side of sports has taken on a life of its own. We have the personal story side, reality TV of sorts that appeals to the celebrity obsessed who may or may not care for the competitive side. We worship people, whether for their athletic prowess, celebrity status or both. It is usually both. Adults will find themselves engaged in heated debate over their favorite teams. In a world detached from the traditional human interaction between man and environment, the strategic faculties have been diverted to sports. A step away from fantasy in so far as it doesn’t involve dwarves and elves. The “manly” man, will throw beers at his television during the playoffs and the commercials tell us this is an endearing trait. The advertisements show us a beautiful woman busting her tail, keeping things in order, while her slovenly husband is yelling at the screen. This is America in 2016. Modern sports is the circus of Rome on steroids. Let me state that I have always enjoyed sports. This is not a blanket statement about individuals who watch sports, for I am one of them. We are talking about a societal obsession and a massive distraction from reality. The second reason I cover sports is that it is the most fertile ground for metaphor in current events. We have cities, numbers, colors, names and team names. Each of these individually carry a tremendous language in the symbolic which The Most High uniquely directs in ways only a Sovereign God could. This is what we will cover here, the unmistakable and inexplicable convergences that took place during the last few weeks. Call it what you want, but do not call it coincidence. Coincidence is a lazy way to ignore information you don’t want to deal with. Mystery is precisely that, not to be understood entirely, but it is a grievous mistake for anyone who claims to seek truth to dismiss something because you have nowhere to place it. In other words, dogmatic conclusion or bust. Here’s your dogma, Jesus Christ is the King of Kings, the Hope of Glory by Whom and through Whom all things which are both seen and unseen are created. He is coming again to judge the earth and those whose names are not found in the Lamb’s Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire. Nothing that you can touch, see, hear, feel, smell or think about is outside His providence. So we enter in, we explore these matters without fear. The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. Blessed are those who search out the concealed glory of God. Connecting Events by 11 and 13 For those who are new, it will be helpful to understand the Biblical meanings of 11 and 13. 11 is chaos, disorder and judgment and 13 is rebellion. It is not coincidence that 9/11 and 11/13 were the dates of two major attacks at the hands of Islam, the religion founded by Muhammad who had 13 wives and preached 13 years at Mecca before regrouping and ransacking Medina. Ishmael, was circumcised at 13 and according to Muslim tradition was an ancestor of Muhammad. For the NFL Draft, we covered Eli Apple who wears #13 (rebellion) and went to the Big Apple to join the other Eli, the week before #13 Nyquist won the Kentucky Derby and 6 years, 3 months, 13 days after the Book of Eli came out. The Apple, and the #13 for rebellion. Though we cannot say the fruit in the garden was the “apple” it has come to be understood as such. Eli’s wicked sons rebelled in the desecrating the sacrifice. Nyquist – “NY” – New York, quist – “pigeon, dove, twig” (days of Noah). The one player who went to the same high school as the 44th President happens to wear #44 and the high school he and Obama attended in Hawaii just happens to have 44 buildings and 440 state championships across all sports. punahou

Barclays and Brexit July 8th at Barclays Center we have Nick Jonas performing, once again connecting us to the sign of Jonah. download (6) The Brexit inspired Dow collapse on June 24 took place 7 years, 7 months, 7 weeks after the September 29, 2008 collapse of 777 points. It was 7 years, 7 months, 7 weeks and 5 days… and the Sept 29 2008 drop was 777.68. 5 days is .71 of a week so at the time of the day the 2008 crashed occurred you could say it was .68. The Dow collapsed on June 24, 2016 losing 611 points. Of course 6 and 11 for those who have been following. Any number repeated three times in scripture means complete. 777 is 21 or the date of the summer solstice full moon (6/21) that hasn’t occurred since 1948 and 1967. Within hours of Barclays Center hosting the annual NBA Draft the country in which Barclays is headquartered would pass the historical vote to withdraw from the EU. For many these events would seem unrelated but as we drill down you will see this is far from the case. Barclays is headquartered in London. On June 27, 1967, 20 days after Israel reclaimed Jerusalem, they deployed the world’s first cash dispenser (ATM). There is a monument in honor of this momentous feat. “Lives made much easier”. This date was also 6 days from the 49 years and the summer solstice full moon which took place the last time in 1967. Barclays’ headquarters is One Churchill Place, London Borough Tower of Hamlets. Barclays is the oldest British bank in continuous operation. C Hoare is the oldest family run private bank established 20 years earlier. Barclays is the oldest public bank in Britain. The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it. Daniel 7:4 The day following Barclays and the same day as Brexit, the first LGBT national monument was established at a “bar”, at Stonewall Inn. This is on the 17th of Tammuz on the Torah calendar. We covered previously the significant events which transpired on this date. The other 17th of Tammuz is on July 23 on the Hebrew calendar (Hebrew and Torah are two different calendars). This is the day of the Golden Calf (Golden CAV) which connects us to Cleveland, the city founded by Moses Cleaveland. Pay attention to “cleave” it ties in. Stonewall Inn, known simply as “Where Pride Began”. God resists the proud, so this is one way to stonewall yourself from God. Here is the slang definition of “stonewalling” The idea being that the person is putting up a “stone wall” and impeding your progress in the conversation, and as you cannot see over the side of the wall, you have no idea why it is there. If you try to “climb the wall” to figure it out, then the other party will know your level of interest. No human pride movement is complete without the fist raised to heaven. “Love is Love” Closed fist, says there is nothing I want from you. It is defiance, closed and seeks to strike. Open hand says, I embrace, I give you myself. Open hands receive, clenched fists resist. Open hands raise in worship, closed fists take. Open hands love, closed fists impose.

Dr. James Dobson: Donald Trump Has Accepted Christ

4:00PM EDT 6/24/2016 Bob Eschliman

Is Donald Trump a born-again Christian? According to a well-respected evangelical faith leader, the answer is "Yes." (Reuters photo) Donald Trump, according to a new report, has accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. No, you didn't accidentally click on The Onion. That's a factual statement, according to a well-respected evangelical faith leader. Dr. James Dobson, who was among the more than 900 evangelical faith leaders who met with the Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting in New York City, says it happened fairly recently. He also said he knew who led the businessman to Christ. "I don't know when it was, but it has not been long," Dobson told Godfactor's Michael Anthony in an exclusive interview. "I believe he really made a commitment, but he's a baby Christian. We all need to be praying for him, especially if there's a possibility of him being our next chief executive officer." "I think that he's open," he added. "He doesn't know our language, he really doesn't, and he refers a lot to religion and not much to faith and belief." To that, Anthony responded, "I imagine Saul, when he became Paul, didn't know the language, either." "Yeah, well you've got to cut him some slack. He didn't grow up like we did," Dobson responded. "I think there's hope for him, and I think there's hope for us. I have great concerns about the next election." Dobson said he was in the "small group" of 40 faith leaders who met with Trump earlier in the day at Trump Tower, and that he had a chance to interact directly with the Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting. "He's a lot nicer guy than you [think]," he said. "I think he is listening. There were a lot of people ministering to him personally." Dobson also praised the event, during which he said faith leaders were "genuinely seeking the Lord's direction" in the things Trump was saying. "He's sometimes kind of obscure in the way that he answers questions, and we wanted to ask him directly, with follow-up questions," he said. "We got a chance to do that." Draw closer to God.

Istanbul airport attack marks the latest of several bombings in Turkey over past year

Published June 29, 2016 Associated Press

A look at the suicide bombings in Turkey since July 2015:

-- June 28, 2016 -- Suicide attackers killed at least 36 people and wounded more than 140 at Istanbul's busy Ataturk Airport. Turkish officials said the explosions were probably the work of Islamic State group militants.

-- March 19, 2016 -- A suicide bombing rocked Istanbul's main pedestrian street killing five people, including the bomber, whom authorities identified as a Turkish national linked to IS. Like in the prior attacks blamed on IS, there was no claim of responsibility from the group.

-- March 13, 2016: A Kurdish woman blew herself up in a car at a busy transport hub in Ankara, killing 37 people in an attack that was also claimed by TAK, also known as the Kurdish Freedom Falcons.

-- Feb. 17, 2016: A suicide car bomb apparently targeting military personnel in Ankara killed 29 people in an attack claimed by TAK, an off-shoot of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, which Turkey considers a terrorist organization.

-- Jan. 12, 2016: A suicide bomber blew himself up in the historic district of Istanbul, killing 12 German tourists. Authorities said the attack was carried out by an IS-linked Syrian man who had entered the country as a refugee.

-- Oct. 10, 2015: Twin suicide bombings hit a peace rally outside Ankara's train station, killing 102 people. There was no claim of responsibility but Turkish authorities blamed the attack on a local cell of IS.

-- July 20, 2015: A Turkish national who was an ethnic Kurd blew himself up in in the southern border town of Suruc, killing 33 mostly-Kurdish activists and wounding nearly 100 others in an attack authorities blamed on the Islamic State group.

The awful Israeli-Hezbollah conflict to come

Willy Stern

Hezbollah has a nasty collection of more than 130,000 rockets, missiles, and mortars aimed at Israel. This is a bigger arsenal than all NATO countries (except the United States) combined. Why, a reasonable person might wonder, does Hezbollah need an offensive arsenal bigger than that of all Western Europe? "You don't collect 130,000 missiles if you don't intend to use them," says Matthew Levitt, a counter-terrorism expert at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Hezbollah is a well-funded, violently anti-Israel terrorist organisation based in Lebanon and a puppet of the Iranian regime. In Hezbollah's arsenal are about 700 long-range, high-payload rockets and missiles with names like Fateh-110 and Scud D. They are capable of taking down entire buildings in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem, wreaking havoc at Israel's major military bases, killing thousands of Israeli civilians, shutting down the nation's airports and ports, and taking out the electric grid. And that's just in the first week. Israel's Dilemma Former Israel Defence Forces (IDF) Major General Yaakov Amidror is talking about the M-600 missile. It's a fairly accurate ballistic missile that weighs more than a Hummer H2 and carries a formidable warhead. The M-600 can also deliver chemical weapons. A single M-600 could wipe out a good chunk of Times Square and maim and kill people four football fields away from the point of impact. Hezbollah has a lot of M-600s. Amidror, Israel's former national security adviser, is asked what the next war between Israel and Hezbollah will look like. "We are not looking for war," says Amidror. "But suppose Hezbollah launches an advanced missile like the M-600 at the Kirya, the IDF military headquarters in Tel Aviv, or a large apartment complex in Jerusalem. Our defence technology quickly finds the launcher. It is right under a 22-storey residential building in Beirut. We can now see in real time the launcher being moved back under the building to reload." "We have just minutes to act," explains Amidror. "The IDF will have to take out the launcher because the next missile can cause enormous damage in Israel. But to take out the launcher means the 22-storey building may fall. We would try to use precision-guided missiles to protect civilians but the target is hard to reach. We will try to warn the residents but the timing is tight. That building will almost certainly be hit. And the images in the international media will almost certainly be awful." But, asks Amidror, today a senior fellow at the Begin-Sadat Centre for Strategic Studies, "What alternative do we have?" No good one, since the building in the scenario described would be a legitimate military target. So say a bevy of international military law experts, including Geoff Corn of the South Texas College of Law in Houston, who has studied IDF targeting policies: "After exhausting all feasible efforts to reduce civilian risk, IDF commanders must resolve the decisive question: Is the potential for civilian harm excessive in comparison to the advantages the attack would provide? When you talk of an M-600 in the hands of an enemy that targets vital military assets or the civilian population - even if that apartment building is full - launching the attack will be necessary to mitigate the threat." Professor Corn is well aware of what will happen next. "The international community will look at the images and will note that the immediate cause of destruction was Israeli munitions. But - and here is the kicker - both legally and morally, the cause of these tragic consequences will lie solely at the feet of Hezbollah." Hezbollah cleverly places its arsenal where any Israeli military response - even legal, carefully planned, narrowly targeted, proportionate measures - will lead to huge civilian casualties among Lebanese. Why? Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's cunning leader, sees a win-win situation. He'd like nothing better than for the IDF to kill Lebanese civilians. And if the IDF shies away from attacking legitimate military targets in civilian sectors, then Nasrallah achieves both military and strategic advantages, and his fighters can continue to rain deadly rockets down on Israel's civilians, infrastructure, and military installations. Says one IDF officer, "We don't have the luxury of waiting, monitoring, considering." This writer spent two-plus weeks embedded with IDF units around the country, meeting with scores of soldiers, from sergeants to generals, from frontline commanders to nerdy intelligence analysts, from patrol boat captains to fighter pilots, from civil defence experts to high-tech air defence geeks. All these military tacticians and strategists were intently focused on preparing for the next war with Hezbollah. Why did the IDF pull back the curtain and provide such access not only to its top brass but also to classified documents, war-gaming exercises, and strategic projections? Because Israel wants the world to know that (1) a war with Hezbollah in Lebanon will be, unavoidably, awful; and (2) the massive collateral damage won't be Israel's fault. Even more than that, the IDF seems to be pleading to the international community: Do something. Stop Hezbollah. Before it is too late, and they drag the region into a bloody hellhole. What the War will look like What will a future war look like? Some clues: Hezbollah has amassed not just rockets and missiles. Iran has supplied its favourite terrorist organisation with other top-of-the-line weaponry. For military aficionados, these would include the latest guided, tank-piercing Russian-made "Kornet" missiles, SA-17 and SA-22 air defence systems, and even the "Yakhont" class surface-to-ship cruise missiles. Making matters worse for IDF planners, Hezbollah boasts a standing army of more than 10,000 soldiers - and could add two or three times that number of reservists in the event of a war with Israel. In short, since its last major conflict with Israel in 2006, Hezbollah has dramatically increased its combat capabilities and armoury. The terrorist organisation has leapt from the jayvee team to the major leagues across every fighting platform. True, Hezbollah is stretched these days from rotating its troops into Syria. But that also means that many Hezbollah soldiers will be battle-tested and tough; some 6,000 to 7,000 of them have been fighting alongside Syrian Army regulars in an effort to prop up Bashar al-Assad. Make no mistake: Should hostilities break out, there will be a deadly ground war. Aerial operations simply aren't enough to dismantle and root out Hezbollah's maze of underground launchers, tunnels and infrastructure that are aimed right over Israel's border. No matter how brave a face the IDF leadership tries to put on, in the next conflict with Hezbollah, IDF tanks will get blown to bits, aircraft will be shot from the sky, navy patrol boats will be sunk, and the multibillion-dollar Israeli offshore gas rigs in the Mediterranean Sea could end up on the sea floor. Many young IDF soldiers will be coming home in body bags. Nothing would make Nasrallah happier. He is clear in public statements that he'd dearly like to murder every Jew in the world but especially those in Israel. In speeches, he describes Israel as a "cancerous entity" of "ultimate evil" and joyfully calls for its "annihilation." Deterrence is a big part of Israel's defence strategy; acknowledging these scenarios doesn't sit right with many in the IDF's military structure. They don't want to frighten Israel's civilian population. Nor do they want to embolden Israel's enemies. But the IDF is trying really hard to give the world a wake-up call about what's coming down the pike. Even in a best-case scenario for preventing Israel's civilian casualties - meaning a vast majority of Israelis would be able to get into hardened shelters before the first deadly salvo is launched from Lebanon - IDF planners quietly acknowledge that "as many as hundreds" of Israeli non-combatants might be killed per day in the first week or two of the conflict. If Hezbollah's first missile salvos are launched without warning, the Israeli civilian death count could be 10 times higher. Israel's top military brass acknowledges that its high-tech missile-defence system will be "lucky" to shoot down 90% of incoming rockets, missiles and mortars. Hezbollah has the capacity to shoot 1,500 missiles per day. That means 150 - likely more - deadly projectiles could get through in a day. Israel's Iron Dome, David's Sling, Arrow 3, and other state-of-the-art systems for shooting down incoming rockets and missiles are the best in the world but imperfect. "Even with Israel's technological superiority, it would be a major blunder to underestimate Hezbollah's ability to do serious damage," cautions Amos Harel, the respected military/defence correspondent for the Israeli daily Ha'aretz. One irony: It's not only those in Tokyo and Chicago and Brussels who have little idea what such a conflict will look like. Many Israelis are fairly clueless. Residents of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem read about recent wars in newspapers every morning while sipping latte in their favourite café. Not this time. They will be in bunkers. Possibly for a very long time. IDF Major General (res.) Gershon Hacohen explains, "ATMs won't work. With the electric grid out, how will Israelis get to their 30th-floor apartments without elevators? How will they cook?" Israel will almost certainly be forced to try to evacuate most citizens in the northern part of the country. Why? Because Hezbollah's arsenal includes about 100,000 short-range rockets aimed at schools, hospitals, and homes. These rockets - including Falaks, Katyushas, Fajr-3s, and 122 Grads - may not be particularly accurate but they're also not in the air long enough for the IDF defensive weapons systems to shoot them down. Imagine if New Jersey shot more than 1,000 deadly rockets over the Hudson River into Manhattan every day. No doubt, those on the Upper West Side would also be a bit peeved. "There is no country in the world - not Israel, not the US, not in Europe - who would not go to war to stop a rocket barrage of that nature," explains Nadav Pollak, formerly in an IDF intelligence unit and today a counterterrorism fellow at the Washington Institute. Small teams of elite Hezbollah commandos will almost certainly be able to slip into Israel and may wreak havoc among Israeli villages in the north. One scenario that has IDF strategists concerned: A Hezbollah team infiltrates into northern Israel via small boat at night, kills every man, woman and child in a remote village, and then escapes into the darkness. The public relations value to Hezbollah would be enormous. "Anything that creates fear and terror among Israelis is a win for Hezbollah," says an IDF Home Front Command senior official. Thumbing its nose at legal and ethical norms for armed conflict, Hezbollah has strategically placed its launchers and other deadly weaponry in homes, schools, hospitals, and densely populated civilian centres throughout Lebanon. This arsenal is supposedly "hidden." Still, the IDF knows where many of these weapons are stored and shared classified maps with me. These maps showed remarkably detailed information indicating that Hezbollah is storing its weaponry in dozens of southern Lebanese villages but also in Beirut proper, where the organisation is headquartered in the densely populated suburb of Dahiya. Amos Yadlin is the Executive Director of the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University. Given Israel's sophisticated, high-tech war-fighting machine, Yadlin says the IDF will have "clear superiority" in any conflict with Hezbollah. Deterrence matters. Yadlin and every IDF officer I spoke to made one point clear: A war with Hezbollah may be ugly, but Israel will win. Decisively. Military Law, Hezbollah and Israel Military law expert Corn is among those who believe Hezbollah should be called to answer for its unlawful tactics: "Hezbollah should be pressured, starting today, to avoid locating such vital military assets amongst civilians." Corn fears that "the instinctual condemnation of Israel will only encourage continuation of these illicit tactics." Corn is correct. Two conclusions are inescapable and well voiced by a world-weary IDF officer: "The next war with Hezbollah is going to be an absolute shitstorm. And we're going to be blamed." Civilian deaths in Lebanon will be a tragedy by any standard, but they will not be Israel's fault. The primary duty of every nation is to protect its citizens. Israel will do what any country would do if deadly rockets rain down on its cities and military bases: It will respond. In keeping with its history, the IDF is committed to responding judiciously and well within the accepted laws of armed conflict. But the outcomes will be very different from previous conflicts. Why? Because Hezbollah's fighting force and arsenal are those of a nation-state, but its tactics are those of a terrorist organisation. Tens of thousands of Lebanese civilians will almost certainly die. The international media - many either reflexively anti-Israel or simply naïve - will have a field day. The IDF is smart to try to explain its side of the story in advance. At least so says retired US Army Major General Mike Jones, co-author of a detailed report on the IDF's conduct in its latest conflict with Hamas, the other terrorist organisation on its border. "Despite what may have been reported on the 2014 war with Hamas in Gaza, we found that the IDF went to extreme lengths in Gaza to avoid civilian casualties," says Jones. Hezbollah and other radical Islamist groups are trying to delegitimise the laws of armed conflict; this ought to be of concern to all law-abiding nations and militaries. Jones believes that the IDF (and other Western nations) is "absolutely right" to try to get out in front on the strategic messaging issue. Yes, strategic messaging. The IDF has long operated under the presumption that being in the right was enough to carry the day in the court of public opinion. No more. Anti-Israel propaganda is everywhere. Many politicians, journalists, academics and policy wonks are eager to denounce Israel regardless of facts or logic. One IDF officer pointed to another possibility, namely that many reporters and average Joes simply cannot fathom the reality of war: "When one sees civilians killed, it's natural to blame the person who directly caused their death. But in war we need to look beyond. Civilians will die, but who is ultimately morally responsible? Is it the army that is forced to target military targets hidden among civilians - and uses precision weapons and warnings - or is it the group that deliberately puts its own civilians in the line of fire?" The IDF is aware that future conflicts with Hezbollah will be fought on at least two battlegrounds. The first, obviously, will involve guns, tanks and fighter jets. The second front will encompass the court of public opinion. Israel is wisely opening up its second front early. When the next war occurs, the IDF will endeavour to have both law and morality on its side. Will anybody care? The IDF no longer distinguishes between the sovereign nation of Lebanon and Hezbollah. Here's why: The terrorist group fully controls southern Lebanon, even to the point of limiting the movements of the Lebanese Army and also of the United Nations forces there. As well, Hezbollah holds significant positions in the Lebanese Government and parliament. As such, Lebanon's infrastructure will likely be targeted. The IDF may well go after Lebanese bridges, airports, highways, and the electric grid, and IDF officials want Hezbollah to know this. Again, deterrence. On the Border Hezbollah is also preparing, and not just missiles. I spent a morning on patrol with a senior IDF commander on the Lebanese border. We were in easy range of Hezbollah snipers. The soldier was wisely decked out in full combat gear, including helmet, Kevlar vest and assault rifle. It's dead easy to peer across the border into the tiny Lebanese village of Ayta Ash Shab and see a Hezbollah operative, dressed like a tourist, using a telephoto lens to snap photos to monitor IDF border patrol activities. All was quiet. One day, this border will not be so quiet. Firas Abi Ali, senior principal analyst on Lebanon for the London-based country risk consultancy IHS, rates likelihood of war between Israel and Hezbollah as "more than 50 percent" in five years and "more than 70 percent" within 10. A mitigating factor in the near term is the war in Syria, which keeps many of Hezbollah's best fighters occupied. But IDF planners cannot afford to think in these subtleties. "There's going to be a war with Hezbollah," says Colonel Elan Dickstein, who runs the Northern Command Training Base. "The only question is when." One of those preparing is Colonel Tzvika Tzoron, commander of the Haifa district in the Home Front Command. He has been charged with the unenviable task of protecting Israeli citizens in the northern part of the country, including those living in villages right on the Lebanese border. "We hope to give them a few days' notice," says Tzoron. "But who knows what will happen?" Who knows, indeed? "I go to sleep at night worried, and I wake up worried," admits Lt. Col. Ronen Markham, who runs a battalion of navy patrol boats near the Lebanese border. "I worry about what I do know and worry about what I don't. Most of the world doesn't really understand that war is ugly. War is terrible. War is bloody. War brings casualties. Lots of people - soldiers and civilians - will die. There is no way around it." IDF tactics and International Critics But Israel will try to find ways around it. If the IDF's conduct of war against Hamas in Gaza is any indication, the IDF will go far beyond the requirements of the international laws of armed conflict to try to protect civilian life in Lebanon. Some of the steps the IDF may take to prevent civilian casualties in Lebanon include dropping leaflets warning of impending operations, using aerial assets to monitor civilian presence, and carefully choosing weaponry whenever feasible. Several top-notch military attorneys from around the world criticised the IDF for its actions to protect civilians in the 2014 Gaza war. But the criticism is not what you might think: These attorneys believe Israel did too much to protect civilian lives. "The IDF's warnings certainly go beyond what the law requires, but they also sometimes go beyond what would be operational good sense elsewhere," says Michael Schmitt, chairman of the Stockton Center for the Study for International Law at the US Naval War College. "People are going to start thinking that the US and other Western democracies should follow the same examples in different types of conflict. That's a real risk." Schmitt is the author of a recent comprehensive analysis of the IDF's targeting practices. But here's the kicker: The IDF will apply the same legal standards in any war with Hezbollah, but with very different outcomes. Why? Because Hezbollah has far more dangerous missiles and operates out of high-rise buildings. Speaking bluntly, a senior IDF officer with an intellectual bent explains, "Bizarre though it may sound, it is lawful for more citizens to die. We will be applying the same legal tests in Lebanon but with far more tragic results." IDF Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Nisan Cohen winds back to the scenario of a 22-storey building in Beirut with an M-600 launcher in its basement. "Even with our best precision-guided missiles and with our best efforts to avoid civilian casualties," he says, "it's very hard to just hit the basement. It's even harder for us to explain afterwards why civilians were harmed." Cohen knows that the IDF is at a competitive disadvantage in terms of telling its side of the story. Photos of destroyed buildings are dead easy to come by and tug at the emotions, while the IDF often must rely on classified information to explain a specific strike. "We ask the world not to be fooled by propaganda and by images," says a senior IDF official. "Check the facts. Any reasonable and moral human being will determine that the IDF did the right thing in our targeting decisions. There is just a fundamental disconnect between everyday life and war. If you see a picture of a dead baby, you know that it's bad. You want to blame someone. It's nearly impossible for people to flip that switch and try to understand the legal and factual context of war." Who gets suckered by the anti-Israel propaganda? Plenty of smart folks. Take, for example, a State Department spokesman who ought to have known better. Asked in July 2014 if the Obama Administration believed Israel had done enough to prevent civilian casualties in Gaza, Jen Psaki said: ‘'We believe that certainly there's more that can be done.'' Really? What exactly? Military minds, of course, know better. In November 2014, the highest-ranking officer in the US military - Martin Dempsey, then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs - said that Israel went to "extraordinary lengths" to limit civilian casualties in its recent war in Gaza and that the Pentagon had sent a working team to Israel to glean what lessons could be learned from that IDF operation. Yaakov Amidror recalls an event from his stint as Israel's national security adviser. In the late summer of 2013, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon paid a visit to Jerusalem. Just prior to a planned meeting with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, Amidror got an hour alone with Ban and his aide-de-camp. Amidror pulled out his laptop and presented detailed evidence of Hezbollah's deadly arsenal and the fact that it was strategically placed within densely populated civilian centres. "What do you want us to do?" asked Amidror. Ban offered no response and no suggestions. Instead, the UN chief continued 15 feet down the plush carpeted hallway from Amidror's office to his meeting with Netanyahu. Is it any wonder that Israel is frustrated? Nobody, it seems, in times of peace is willing to offer Israel a constructive suggestion on how to deal with an Iranian-funded terrorist organisation in possession of a massive arsenal on its northern border. But these same organisations stand front and centre to criticise Israel for acting legally and proportionately for protecting its own citizens in wartime.

Supreme Court Allows State to Force Pro-Life Pharmacists to Sell Abortion Pills

National Steven Ertelt Jun 28, 2016 | 10:10AM Washington, DC

Just one day after issuing a major ruling striking down a portion of a pro-life law in Texas saving thousands of babies from abortion and closing unscrupulous abortion clinics, the Supreme Court has made a second anti-life decision. Today, the nation’s highest court refused to hear an appeal from pro-life pharmacists in Washington state who are challenging a state law forcing them to sell the morning after pull and abortion-causing drugs that violate their conscience as Christians instead of allowing them to refer customers to nearby pharmacies. A pro-life family that runs pharmacies in Washington State has been at the center of an epic battle over religious rights for years. In 2007, abortion activists convinced the Washington Board of Pharmacy to pass regulations that force pharmacists in the state to dispense abortion causing drugs. This caused a major dilemma for the Stormans family, owners of a third-generation pharmacy. Their religious convictions prevented them from selling drugs that destroy innocent human life. Yet the State insisted they do so. Click here to sign up for pro-life news alerts from LifeNews.com After the state launched an investigation, the Stormans family filed a lawsuit against the state for violating their First Amendment rights. That resulted in a years-long legal battle — one that has ultimately made its way to the Supreme Court. But, the nation’s highest court refused to take the case — making it so the infringing pro-abortion law stands. Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Clarence Thomas, dissented from the denial and would have agreed to hear the case. They wrote: “This case is an ominous sign. At issue are Washington State regulations that are likely to make a pharmacist unemployable if he or she objects on religious grounds to dispensing certain prescription medications. There are strong reasons to doubt whether the regulations were adopted for—or that they actually serve—any legitimate purpose. And there is much evidence that the impetus for the adoption of the regulations was hostility to pharmacists whose religious beliefs regarding abortion and contraception are out of step with prevailing opinion in the State. Yet the Ninth Circuit held that the regulations do not violate the First Amendment, and this Court does not deem the case worthy of our time. If this is a sign of how religious liberty claims will be treated in the years ahead, those who value religious freedom have cause for great concern…. Ralph’s has raised more than ‘slight suspicion’ that the rules challenged here reflect antipathy toward religious beliefs that do not accord with the views of those holding the levers of government power. I would grant certiorari to ensure that Washington’s novel and concededly unnecessary burden on religious objectors does not trample on fundamental rights.” Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Kristen Waggoner reacted to the Suprem Court’s refusal to take the case in comments to LifeNews. “All Americans should be free to peacefully live and work consistent with their faith without fear of unjust punishment, and no one should be forced to participate in the taking of human life. We had hoped that the U.S. Supreme Court would take this opportunity to reaffirm these long-held principles,” Waggoner said. “The state of Washington allows pharmacists to refer customers for just about any reason—except reasons of conscience. Singling out people of faith and denying them the same freedom to refer is a violation of federal law. All 49 other states allow conscience-based referrals, which are fully supported by the American Pharmacists Association, the Washington Pharmacy Association, and 36 other pharmacy associations,” she continued. She told LifeNews: “Not one customer in Washington has been denied timely access to any drug due to a religious objection. As the trial court found, the government designed its law for the ‘primary—if not sole—purpose’ of targeting religious health care providers. We are disappointed that the high court didn’t take this case and uphold the trial court’s finding.” Margo Thelen, Rhonda Mesler, and the Stormans family have worked in the pharmacy profession for over seventy years. When a customer requests an abortion-inducing drug, they refer the customer to one of over thirty pharmacies within five miles that willingly sell the drugs. For decades, this has been standard pharmacy practice, has been approved by the American Pharmacists Association, and has been legal in all 50 states. But in 2007, Washington adopted a new law making referrals for reasons of conscience illegal. The law was passed in a cloud of controversy, with then-Governor Christine Gregoire threatening to terminate the State Pharmacy Commission and replacing Commission members with new ones recommended by abortion-rights activists. The law leaves pharmacies free to refer patients elsewhere for a wide variety of reasons related to business, economics, and convenience—but not for reasons of conscience. Because of the law, Margo Thelen lost her job, Rhonda Mesler was threatened with losing hers, and the Stormans family faces the loss of its pharmacy license. After a twelve-day trial, a federal court in February 2012 struck down the law as unconstitutional, finding “abundant evidence” that the law was designed to force religious pharmacists and pharmacy owners to violate their faith. But last July the liberal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision, upholding the law.

EU Denying Europe's Christian Roots Contributed to Brexit

By Wallace Henley , CP Exclusive June 27, 2016|12:20 pm

Britain has decided that joining hands and singing "Kumbaya" on the deck of the sinking "Titanic" that is the European Union will not save the ship. Wisely, a majority of her voters saw through the EU illusion and decided they should abandon the vessel. The British lifeboat will likely be on troubled waters for a while until she steadies on her beam, but that's better than being on a plunging ship. But why is the ship sinking? First, the EU's framers themselves blew a big hole in the hull. "Nearer My God to Thee," sang the perishing on the Titanic's dying decks in 1912. The EU is most definitely not singing that. The framers of its constitution intentionally left out reference to God and Europe's Christian roots because, they said, such inclusions might be divisive. They may as well have been singing, "As Far From God As We Can Get." A leader of Britain's National Secular Society said: "We are very glad a reference to God has been left out, it would have created unnecessary barriers in Europe ... Europe has to be secular for it to be really unified." In light of the disjointedness of European society one can only say, "Really?" It's pointless to include mention of God in the EU constitution because of "the increased secularization of morality and public life," declared the British Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association almost fifteen years ago. The thuggery and explosion of public disorder in many European cities shows graphically what that "secularization" has produced. Second, the EU "Titanic" is in peril because it is little more than the old Europe attempting to be a new Europe. Though many of the Brussels elite may disdain the past tradition of royal houses, they themselves have become every bit as dominating. For example, their flowery views of immigration are no less romantic than Queen Victoria's might have been whiling away a sleepy afternoon at Balmoral as the Prussians were invading Denmark. So the ruling highbrows in the European Parliament seemed oblivious to the way their policies were affecting workers in the British Midlands and big industrial cities. The shock was that this time the blue-collared Labour voters defied that party's potentates. The heaviest voting for Brexit was in working-class areas. The left is always shouting, "Power to the People!" Now that the people really have taken the slogan seriously the elites are stupefied. Even Hollywood, as represented by such profound political thinkers as Lindsay Lohan, is in an uproar. Leftists don't like authoritarianism unless it is their own. Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban is one of Europe's most insightful leaders. "We want a democratic European Union with internal relations, day-to-day rules, an ethnic composition and culture which are determined by the people living in the countries of Europe, rather than by a Brussels elite," he told a radio interviewer. The current EU elitists are "quite clearly acting against the will of the European peoples," he said. Jonathan Sandys is no elitist, but he is the great-grandson of Sir Winston Churchill. He and I co-authored God and Churchill, which explores Jonathan's great-grandfather's spiritual background and providential destiny. Jonathan, a British citizen now living in Houston, very much wanted Britain to remain in the EU. "A United Europe was my great-grandfather's dream," he said, as we had a friendly debate. Jonathan, like his famous ancestor, has a broad vision. He is concerned for Britain's security in a world where Obama foreign policy has shredded overseas confidence in a friendship with the United States. "My great-grandfather would have voted 'Remain,'" thinks Jonathan. But I'm not sure. Churchill's vision was in the context of 1945 Europe. It was a continent struggling to rebuild after the Second World War. Europe in 1945 still remembered the First World War, when the august ruling monarchs, most blood-related, went at each other through the sacrifice of their young men. Churchill wanted a Europe that would live as a community, not an asteroid belt of colliding states. Further, as Jonathan and I show in detail in God and Churchill, Sir Winston saw the Second World War as being for the survival of "Christian Civilization," a term he used repeatedly. One doubts he would be excited about the rabid secularism of the current EU and its abandonment of "Christian Civilization." Jonathan and I, though disagreeing about the current vote, concur that Brexit contained important lessons. For one, he says, it revealed the weakness of the UK's leadership. Were Churchill in power now the vote would have never come up because he would have personally gone to Brussels and roared at the elites, confronted their errors, and demolished their authoritarian policies. Jonathan and I believe the UK vote is a wake-up call for Britain and its leaders, as well as the United States. But the current situation is ominous. Hillary Clinton's foreign policy flaws, from the casual handling of secrets essential to national security, to failure to grasp what is really going on in certain situations, are painfully obvious right now. And what of Donald Trump's undeveloped, unproven, and vague, sometimes even confused, understanding of global issues? Naïveté about the world and disregard for its member states are the jagged edges of the iceberg sinking the EU "Titanic." That, combined with the core problem of the rejection of God and the Judeo-Christian worldview, and the aloof arrogance and authoritarianism of the Brussels elite have caused the EU ship to not be seaworthy for the tempests roiling the globe. That's why she may break up on those troubled waters, and why likely there will soon be a rush to the lifeboats. Wallace Henley, a former Birmingham News staff writer, was an aide in the Nixon White House, and congressional chief of staff. He is a teaching pastor at Second Baptist Church, Houston, Texas. He is a regular contributor to The Christian Post.

WashPost: US Diplomats Face Harassment, Intimidation From Russian Agents

By Mark Swanson | Tuesday, 28 Jun 2016 02:09 PM

American diplomats in Europe and Russia have experienced increased harassment and intimidation — some criminal — tactics from Russian intelligence agents since 2014, The Washington Post reported. The State Department confirmed it to the Post, a spokesman for the Russian embassy in Washington D.C. defended it to the newspaper, and Secretary of State John Kerry has asked Russian president Vladimir Putin to put an end to it, the Post reported. The Post reported Diplomats saw an uptick in incidents — in frequency and severity — after the U.S. imposed sanctions on Russia for its invasion of the Ukraine in 2014. Some of the incidents Diplomats face, according to the Post: Being followed, including family members; Having foreign reported write negative stories about them; Having homes broken into and furniture rearranged, TVs turned on; Intruder defecating on the carpet; Slashed tires; Harassment by traffic cops. A spokesman for the Russian embassy in D.C. defended the tactics to the Post. "The deterioration of U.S.-Russia relations, which was not caused by us, but rather by the current Administration's policy of sanctions and attempts to isolate Russian, had a negative affect on the functioning of diplomatic missions, both in U.S. and Russia," the spokesman told the Post. The Post reported that Kerry had a dialogue with Putin about the tactics during his visit to Moscow in March, but that incidents continued after that meeting. At least one Republican blames President Obama for being an enabler to the Russian aggression. "The problem is there have been no consequences for Russia," Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, told the Post. "The administration continues to pursue a false narrative that Russia can be our partner. They clearly don't want to be our partner."

Presbyterian Church USA begins General Assembly with prayer to Allah

Posted on June 29, 2016 by Dr. Eowyn | 18 Comments

The General Assembly of Presbyterian Church, USA (PCUSA) meets biennially in even-numbered years. It consists of commissioners elected by each of its 172 presbyteries. The GA is full of activities: sessions on hundreds of items of business, committee meetings, an exhibit hall, daily worship services, and mission tours sponsored by the Committee on Local Arrangements. This year, PCUSA’s 222nd General Assembly was held on June 18-25, in Portland, Oregon. Rachael Lee reports for Christianity Daily that General Assembly’s opening plenary session began with a Muslim, Wajidi Said of the Portland Muslim Community, offering a prayer to Allah, which had been arranged by the PCUSA’s Ecumenical and Interfaith ministry staff. After reciting a chant in Arabic, Said said: “Allah bless us and bless our families and bless our Lord. Lead us on the straight path – the path of all the prophets: Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad. Peace be upon them all, Amen.” Said then called upon Allah: “In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful, let us praise the Lord. The creator of the Universe, the most merciful, the most compassionate and the Lord of the Universe who has created us and made us into nations and tribes, from males and females, that we know each other, not that we might despise each other, or may despise each other. Incline towards peace and justice and trust in God, for the Lord is one who hears and knows everything and the servants of God, the most compassionate, the most merciful. Gracious are those who walk in the earth with humility, and when bigots and hateful and Islamophobes address them, they say peace. Peace be upon them and peace be upon Allah. The prayer begins at the 14:00 mark: Mateen Elass, a former Muslim who now works with Voice of the Truth, wrote in his blog that PCUSA event “denied the gospel and lordship of Jesus Christ.” Elass criticized the PCUSA for inviting “a practicing Muslim … to lead the worship of Christians,” and pointed out that during his prayers, Said had asked Allah to convert the assembly: “Praying to Allah … he was pleading that the Presbyterians gathered there would be converted to the straight path, i.e., becom Muslims.” Utterly shameful!

That rumbling you feel is Judeo-Christian civilization collapsing beneath your feet

June 22, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) - It was a beautiful summer evening, with an occasional gentle breeze preventing it from becoming stifling. I was sitting on a restaurant patio with my wife, sipping ice-cold water and chatting about the week’s events while waiting for our food to arrive. Cheery chatter rose from the tables around us. The events we were discussing seemed almost weird and unreal in contrast with the pleasant Saturday evenings unfolding for the restaurant’s patrons. Everything seemed so normal. A group of women brayed noisily one table over, loud cackles chasing each other out into the summer air. One of their group rose to her feet on ridiculous heels and teetered off like a new-born gazelle taking her first steps. To our left, a middle-aged man with a huge bushy moustache gripped an enormous burger with both hands, eyeing it like a saber-tooth tiger deliberating where to lunge at a mammoth. The others at his table weren’t talking much, just smiling into their sweating, frothing beer glasses and percolating peacefully. All was calm, and all was right. The normalcy seemed strange, because at our table we were discussing recent cultural developments—Christians being slowly forced to the margins of society, the increasing threat of government intrusion into Christian education, new strategies to combat abortion ideology, and how the country we hoped to raise children in one day was already so much different than the one our parents had raised us in. On the surface, though, everything seemed lovely, and pleasant, and thoroughly unalarming. No wonder that people who are not watching carefully treat those of us raising the alarm as if we’re crazy, I thought, or maybe just victims of the newest viral conspiracy-theory YouTube video. Talk of “persecution” of Christians in the West sounds a bit ridiculous, especially with crucifixion coming back into style in the Middle East, North Koreans being publicly executed for owning Bibles, and Communist China mulling another crackdown on Christian churches. In contrast to that, Western Christians are, for the most part, still part of one of the richest generations in one of the wealthiest civilizations in all of human history. And yet, the Judeo-Christian foundations of the West that brought such success and such prosperity have either been removed or are in the final stages of demolition. The sanctity of life is gone, but most of us have not noticed simply because we do not toss the corpses of the murdered out the front door into the street, but quietly deposit them in dumpsters behind clinics or vaporize them in modern, up-to-date incinerators. New ideologies have taken over our legal systems, and the short march to labelling Holy Scripture as Hate Speech has already begun. The number of citizens who still attend church or are even aware that Christianity was the life-blood of our civilization is plummeting. Things may be peaceful for the moment, but the dark clouds in the distance bulge with thunder and the rumblings have already begun: Christian universities are told they are ineligible to start a law school because they believe what Christians have always believed, Christian medical professionals are told they will be forced to refer patients for killing, and Christian professionals are subjected to “formal investigations” at the slightest hint that they have violated the new secular religion. This is just the calm before the storm, but because Christians are so distracted with the high drama of ordinary day-to-day life, they may not hear the rumblings until thunder splits the sky. These rumblings are there for those who listen enough to hear them, and they are unfolding as we go about our day, stress about our finances, pick up children from school, and go out for pleasant dinner dates. Our reality is changing. Just a few recent examples: An Edmonton Catholic school teacher was suspended for teaching Christian beliefs in a religion class last week after being accused of “anti-gay” comments by a lesbian couple. A Manitoba school district has also been targeted by a lesbian couple, who are demanding that the children of other people be taught that their family arrangement is normal. They have retained a lawyer, and are bringing the district to a Human Rights Tribunal. A bloody killing spree at a gay nightclub in Orlando brought a widespread condemnation of Christians, with many accusing Christians who oppose same-sex marriage of creating the “anti-queer climate” that spawned the Islamic terrorist. One Christian commentator compared the backlash against Christians to the 1933 Reichstag Fire. Day after day, week after week, month after month, pre-born children in the womb are suctioned into bloody slurry and quietly disposed of, while our leaders declare this barbarism to be a good and noble right. The Canadian Parliament passed a law formally codifying the conditions under which some born Canadians can kill other born Canadians, with euthanasia now becoming the official law of the land. These sobering facts, amid a host of others, show us that while everything seems normal, everything is changing. The ground is shifting beneath our feet as the Judeo-Christian foundations of our society are removed, brick by brick. We need to notice these things. And we need to prepare for them. I write this because I catch myself shaking my head sometimes, at the difference between what I see happening in the culture and the many blessings I am privileged to receive from day to day. While it’s true that I’ve seen the bloody results of abortion up close and personal, and while it’s true that my job takes me into the heart of these existential debates, at the end of the day I can still go home to a lovely house, eat a delicious dinner, and quietly read books on a sunny porch. I have to remind myself that beneath the surface of society, things are changing that could very well impact all of this, and that it is our duty to do what we can while we can to reverse these trends. Later on that evening, I sat on my front steps thinking these things over, wondering what we could do in the face of changes that seem so overwhelming. There’s a Chinese proverb that’s considered both a blessing and a curse all in one, and it came to mind just then: “May you live in interesting times.” To my left, the traffic light made the asphalt glow blood-red, giving the quiet street an eerie feel. After awhile, the light changed and the road gleamed green. I smiled to myself, and thought of the lines from a Dylan Thomas poem that has reminded me often of the euthanasia debate: Do not go gentle into that good night…Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Courts say living by Christian faith illegal

2 cases establish wide range of government punishments

Published: 17 hours ago

It started out with hints of official, United States governmental oppression of Christianity in the wake of the Supreme Court’s marriage decision, such as “discrimination” complaints against people who refuse to celebrate homosexual behavior. Bakers, photographers and marriage-venue owners were penalized, and government officials publicly vilified their Christian faith and ordered them, in some case, to be re-educated. Now two rulings have cemented the American court system’s determination that Christians must not be allowed to express their faith in public life. The U.S. Supreme Court left standing a lower court decision that Washington state pharmacists who are Christian must violate their faith in order to practice their profession. The second decision came from a federal judge in Mississippi with a reputation for ruling against Christians who said county clerks in the state must violate their faith to hold their office. The Supreme Court’s move alarmed Justice Samuel Alito, who warned there was evidence that the “impetus for the adoption of the regulations was hostility to pharmacists whose religious beliefs regarding abortion and contraception are out of step with prevailing opinion in the state.” In the Mississippi ruling from Judge Carlton Reeves, who once punished a school district for allowing a voluntary prayer at an optional awards ceremony, said clerks in the state cannot cited their religious beliefs to excuse themselves from issuing marriage licenses to homosexual duos. Sign the petition demanding and end to the madness! No men in girls’ bathrooms, locker rooms or showers! That case already had been litigated in Kentucky, where Judge David Bunning reached the same conclusion, ordering Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis to violate her faith. When she declined, Bunning abruptly jailed her with no due process. But Kentucky’s legislature simply adopted a provision protecting clerks’ religious rights, and Davis asked that the federal case be closed. In Mississippi, however, not even action by state lawmakers was sufficient for Reeves, who ordered not only that clerks be required to provide services that violate their faith, they must be given “formal notice” of the requirement that they violate their faith. Documentation of hate against Christians WND previously has documented the Big List of cases where there have been government rulings that removed religious rights from Christians. Missouri State University, for example, dismissed a student from a counseling program for expressing opposition to counseling same-sex duos. In Iowa, Gortz Haus Gallery and bistro owners Betty and Richard Odgaard were sued by a homosexual duo. In Texas, David and Edie Delmore, who own a bakery, were approached by Ben Valencia and Luis Marmolejo about a cake for a “gay wedding.” They declined, referring the potential customers to other bakers. Subsequently, they claim their home has been vandalized and their son has been threatened with rape by a broken beer bottle. One business even was attacked for answering a hypothetical question on the issue. Family owned Memories Pizza in Indiana came into the crosshairs of homosexuals when an owner was interviewed by a local TV station in the aftermath of the adoption of the state’s religious freedom law. Responding to a reporter’s question, the owner said that while her restaurant serves “gays,” her Christian faith wouldn’t allow her to cater a “gay wedding.” The restaurant immediately became a focal point of outrage toward the law, with threats of death and destruction, causing the owners to shut down their business. The pharmacists It was the case involving the pharmacists that drew outrage from a minority on the Supreme Court. Washington state adopted rules forcing pharmacists to sell abortion pills to customers regardless of religious beliefs that consider abortion tantamount to murder. The state provided no exception for religious beliefs and refused to allow an accommodation that would simply allow pharmacists with abortion objections to refer customers to another location. After the Supreme Court refused to even review the case, Senior Counsel Kristen Waggoner of the Alliance Defending Freedom said all Americans “should be free to peacefully live and work consistent with their faith without fear of unjust punishment, and no one should be forced to participate in the taking of human life.” “We had hoped that the U.S. Supreme Court would take this opportunity to reaffirm these long-held principles,” she said. Waggoner noted the state of Washington “allows pharmacists to refer customers for just about any reason – except reasons of conscience.” “Singling out people of faith and denying them the same freedom to refer is a violation of federal law. All 49 other states allow conscience-based referrals, which are fully supported by the American Pharmacists Association, the Washington Pharmacy Association, and 36 other pharmacy associations. Not one customer in Washington has been denied timely access to any drug due to a religious objection. As the trial court found, the government designed its law for the ‘primary – if not sole – purpose’ of targeting religious health care providers. We are disappointed that the high court didn’t take this case and uphold the trial court’s finding.” Alito, whose concerns were endorsed by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Clarence Thomas, said the case is “an ominous sign.” “At issue are Washington State regulations that are likely to make a pharmacist unemployable if he or she objects on religious grounds to dispensing certain prescription medications,” the three agreed. “There are strong reasons to doubt whether the regulations were adopted for – or that they actually serve – any legitimate purpose. And there is much evidence that the impetus for the adoption of the regulations was hostility to pharmacists whose religious beliefs regarding abortion and contraception are out of step with prevailing opinion in the state. “Yet the Ninth Circuit held that the regulations do not violate the First Amendment, and this court does not deem the case worthy of our time,” Alito wrote. “If this is a sign of how religious liberty claims will be treated in the years ahead, those who value religious freedom have cause for great concern…. Ralph’s [pharmacy] has raised more than ‘slight suspicion’ that the rules challenged here reflect antipathy toward religious beliefs that do not accord with the views of those holding the levers of government power. I would grant certiorari to ensure that Washington’s novel and concededly unnecessary burden on religious objectors does not trample on fundamental rights.” Judie Brown, president of American Life League, shared the concern: “The Supreme Court is not interested in protecting the conscience rights of Christians. If this does not send shock waves down the spines of every believer in America who knows the difference between good and evil, not to mention what God expects of them, then they do not realize what is at stake. Five members of the Supreme Court of the United States apparently believe that their power is omnipotent. That perception of their power is not only wrong, but dangerous. God’s power is Supreme; theirs is not!” The issue there is that previous Supreme Court precedent not only bans favoritism to a religion, it also bans antipathy toward a religion or its beliefs. Mississippi’s fight In Mississippi, Judge Carlton Reeves has established a reputation for going for the jugular when an issue of faith is at play. He first ruled that a Mississippi school student’s rights were violated because she was offended by a prayer at a public school event. Then he reached off campus, fining the school $7,500, for allowing a pastor to prayer at an optional awards ceremony. The judge determined that Rankin County schools must work harder to excise Christian faith from its students’ education, and he threatened the district with a $10,000 fine if it happens again. His latest broadside to Christian beliefs, the AP reported, was in a lawsuit over same-sex marriage. Reeves said “clerks cannot cite their own religious beliefs to recuse themselves from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples,” AP reported. He also demanded that all 82 clerks be given formal notice. “Mississippi’s elected officials may disagree with [the same-sex marriage mandate], of course, and may express that disagreement as they see fit – by advocating for a constitutional amendment to overturn the decision, for example,” the judge ordered. “But the marriage license issue will not be adjudicated anew after every legislative session.” The report said Mississippi Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, no relation to the activist judge, pointed to the crux of the problem immediately. “If this opinion by the federal court denies even one Mississippian of their fundamental right to practice their religion, then all Mississippians are denied their 1st Amendment rights,” Tate Reeves said. “I hope the state’s attorneys will quickly appeal this decision to the 5th Circuit to protect the deeply held religious beliefs of all Mississippians.” Message to Reeves It was the ruling by Reeves regarding the school that later created a stir in Mississippi. His decision resulted in the school’s band being benched from a halftime show at a football game, because as part of their musical presentation, they included the melody from “How Great Thou Art.” Columnist Todd Starnes at Fox News said the judge may issue an order, but the people may not necessarily bend to his whim. He reported the people decided “a message had to be sent to the likes of Judge Reeves.” “And what they did – would become known as the musical shot heard around the world. During halftime of Friday night’s game – a lone voice began to sing the forbidden song. ‘Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee,’ the singer sang. Brittany Mann was there and she witnessed the entire moment of defiance,” Starnes wrote. “We were just sitting there and then one by one people started to stand,” she told Starnes. “At first, it started out as a hum but the sound got louder and louder.” Soon “hundreds” were singing. “At that moment I was so proud of my town – coming together and taking a stand for something we believe in,” she told Starnes. “It breaks my heart o see where our country is going – getting farther and farther away from the Christian beliefs that our country was founded on.”

The Globalists Have Declared War on Nationalists

Dave Hodges

Trump’s populist views of self-determination are sweeping the planet and the elite are in a sheer panic. Only a few weeks ago, the sheep of the planet were being marched to their Armageddon. The dumbed down masses have managed to mount a ninth inning rally that have sent the elite into frenzy. Hillary Clinton Was Supposed to Usher in the New World Order Through the Fall of America The lies are exposed. Hillary and Bill cannot unring the bill, the truth has been exposed for millions of people to see. Two months ago, I called upon the Independent Media to step up their attacks on Hillary Clinton’s criminal behavior in a last-ditch and desperate effort to derail her presidential aspirations. After issuing my plea, I can happily report that I got more than I had hoped for. Merely a year ago, I was one of the few voices that was pounding away at Hillary Clinton’s sociopathic behavior. Today, the attacks are so bombastic and vitriolic, that I am joyfully reporting that I feel that my voice is being drowned out by a relentless chorus of voices that has Hillary Clinton in a death grip and they won’t let go. This is a great time for humanity. Even if the criminal elite unleash genocidal hell on Earth, at least humanity will die on their feet. There is absolutely no way that the criminal elite can stem the tide of rebellion against their corrupt and satanically inspired rule over the people. The criminal elite had pinned their hopes on Hillary Clinton ushering in the NWO by tearing down what was left of American sovereignty. From a Bilderberg, Trilateral and CFR perspective, this woman was sociopathic enough to do what would need to be done to complete this task. However, the criminal elite forgot to do one thing. They neglected to manage her public image. It is leaders like Clinton and Cameron which have awakened the masses, through their abject criminality, and the people are saying enough is enough. Clinton’s role in the emails, her treason by selling uranium to the Russians to raise money for her foundation, the Benghazi affair, etc., etc, are exploding on the national scene. Former Clinton campaign leaders and Secret Service personnel are speaking out against this despot. The genie will not fit back into the bottle. The elite know this and they are on the verge of a mass nervous breakdown. The playground bully has just been punched in the nose by the 98 pound weakling. Zbigniew Brzezinski saw this awakening coming in 2011 which prompted him to say the following: This is what wounded animals do, they lash out in an uncontrollable manner. The following op-ed piece written for the Council on Foreign Relations captures the criminal elite’s sense of desperation. The Face of Global Elite Arrogance Meet the face of global pomposity and unbridled arrogance. His disdain for “your type” is noteworthy and speaks to the desperation of global criminal elite. His name is James Traub and he and his kind are the absolute enemy of every American. He is the heir to the Bloomingdale industries and a prominent member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Traub’s elitist views leave nothing to the imagination. Writing for the mouthpiece of The Council on Foreign Relations, he leaves little doubt that the the evil empire is going to strike back. It is clear that Traub and his fellow CFR elitist snobs are declaring war on any kind self-determination. He expects every Westerner to relish in their servitude to the globalists as he states the following in the article:

“the Brexit vote…utter repudiation of….bankers and economists”…

“…establishment political parties in major western countries must combine forces to keep out the nationalists”.

“…globalization means culture as well as economics: Older people whose familiar world is vanishing beneath a welter of foreign tongues and multicultural celebrations are waving their fists at cosmopolitan elites.”

“…(describes) the pro-Trump Republican base as “know nothing” voters…”

In one fell swoop, Traub validated several conspiracy theories, as being conspiracy facts as his statements admit to the following conspiratorial beliefs held by much of the Independent Media:

The bankers are involved in a conspiracy that work against the interests of the common man…all wars are bankers’ wars.

The Democrats and the Republicans are “establishment” parties and for all intents and purposes these two parties are two flavors of the same party.

There is an overt admission that illegal immigration is about decultralizing the west.

The “Know-nothing voters” who support Trump should be viewed with extreme disdain (e.g. extremists and domestic terrorists). Conclusion After reading Traub’s article, there is nothing left to the imagination, the elite are in absolute panic. This is what makes the criminal elite so very dangerous. It is my considered opinion that the panicked elite may resort to one of more of the following to reassert control over dumbed down masses, who are awake to the corruption that has ruled over them for so long:

False flag induced martial law, followed by mass incarcerations and genocide.

A complete economic collapse which will pit one useless eater vs. another useless eater.

Bankers start world wars of epic proportions. World War III could be right around the corner.

If this is not the future that you want for your children, you best get off of your backside and get involved in the planet-changing conflict.

Globalists Are Going To Collapse World Economy

Posted on June 29, 2016 Written by Amy S.

AFTER the financial crisis, the world is coming to grips with an unpleasant realisation: serious weaknesses still plague the global economy, and emergency help may not be on the way. Sinking stock prices, flat inflation, and the bizarre phenomenon of negative interest rates have coupled with a downturn in emerging markets to raise worries that the economy is being stalked by threats that central banks — the saviours during the crisis — may struggle to cope with. Meanwhile, commercial banks are again a source of concern, especially in Europe. Banks were the epicentre of the 2007-9 crisis, which started over excessive loans to homeowners with shaky credit in the United States and then swept the globe into recession. Gerald Celente is not the only economist who is predicting an economic collapse in 2016; Professor W. Thompson of Indian University also projects that the economies world over will see a downturn in 2016. Money is flowing out of so-called emerging markets like Brazil, Russia, South Africa and Turkey. Investors pulled $735 billion (€657 billion) out such countries in 2015 — the first year of net outflows since 1988, according to the Institute of International Finance. And emerging markets aren’t so emerging any more: they provide 70% of expected global growth. Central banks led by the US Fed responded to the global recession by slashing interest rates and printing money. That encouraged investors in search of higher returns to place their money in emerging markets. Now the Fed is trying to push up its interest rates, and those flows have gone into reverse, causing financial markets and currencies in emerging markets to sag. Debt becomes harder to repay. IMF chief Christine Lagarde has warned of “spillback” effects from emerging markets on more advanced economies. Stephen Lewis, chief economist at ADM Investor Services International, argues the Fed should simply go ahead with raising rates to a more normal level. “Unless we’re going to paralyse monetary policy in the advanced economies forevermore, it is inevitable that the funds that have gone into emerging markets are going to come back out of them,” he said. This book can help by walking you through a step-by-step process of planning, preparation and action that will help you get ready for the catastrophe you just know is coming. This book is useful for all those who wish to survive the coming catastrophe, and help their families and close friends to survive as well. Fortune favors the prepared. Get ready! Banks Banks stocks have been plunging in the US and Europe. In the US, low oil prices may mean companies involved in expensive oil and gas extraction will be unable to repay loans made to dig wells that are no longer profitable. In Europe, bank shares have been shaken by the bailout of four Italian lenders and fears about €1.2 trillion in bad loans across the 19 country currency union. John Cryan, co-CEO of Deutsche Bank, had to take the unusual step of publicly reassuring that the bank’s finances were “rock-solid” after investors pounded the bank’s stock. The spread of negative interest rates could reduce banks’ profitability, since it squeezes the different between the rates at which banks borrow and at which they lend. Sick banks can choke off credit to companies and dump huge costs on governments, shareholders and creditors. Events that will happen in the aftermath of American Economic Collapse of 2016. Martial law: Considering the widespread impact of a collapsing economy on the sentiments of people, it is expected that the government will use the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to its advantage. The NDAA will give the government the power to detain any individual considered as a threat for an indefinite period. RELATED : Fema Warns of Civil Unrest on 395% Food Price Increase Travel restrictions: An American economic collapse in 2016 can trigger travel restrictions, including suspension of passports. An economic collapse will also cause travel restrictions to be put in place at highways/checkpoints. Confiscation of wealth: A catastrophic economic collapse can make the government to take extreme steps, which also includes confiscation of wealth. The laws passed by the European Union give it the authority to confiscate bank accounts through bail-ins. Although real estate and precious metals are not covered under the rule, but it doesn’t mean that they are safe. Governments around the world have been known to make some difficult decisions whenever their economies are in dire straits, and 2016 can turn out that point of time in history. Shortage of food: An economic collapse can lead to shortage of food in the world. The food industry is expected to take a severe hit as it survives mostly on small profit margins. Economic crisis These were a few events that are likely to occur after the global economic collapse of 2016. As was the case with previous economic crashes, people who could see the tide coming were not only able to save their fortune, but also use the bearishness of the market to their advantage. Although the mainstream media will make you believe that the economy is on a solid footing, the ground reality is starkly different. It is everyone’s prerogative to take the right steps and save prepare for the economic catastrophe that will be the year 2016.

Greenspan Just Recommended Return to Gold Standard

9:50AM Update: Greenspan says the next unexpected U.S. economic move will be on the inflation side and “although we don’t have inflation now, you don’t have it until it’s there”. Greenspan also called U.S. entitlements the “third rail” of American politics “you touch it and you die“. He said the “whole entire U.S. Presidential election should be about entitlements”, but all of the candidates will be afraid to discuss it. Original Post: Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan was just a guest on Bloomberg news and recommended that the U.S. return to a gold standard! He then said, “if people call me a gold bug, they should ask themselves why do central banks own gold now?!”

Another Mysterious Death Surrounding Hillary Clinton - Former UN General Assembly President Was Scheduled To Testify In Corruption Trial Involving 'The Black Widow Of Politics' - Drops Barbell On His Neck - Just An Accident Or Something Much More? 'Bigger Than Vince Foster'

June 27, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

What do you think the chances are that, while lifting weights soon before you're scheduled to testify in a corruption trial involving Hillary Clinton and others, you accidentally drop the barbell and the weights you were lifting upon your neck, ending your life and preventing your testimony? If you were the former President of the United Nations General Assembly John Ashe from Antigua and Barbuda, the odds became 100% just days ago after the former President, awaiting a bribery scandal trial, was killed during a weightlifting accident after he was allegedly 'accidentally asphyxiated' by the dropped weights. Ashe's death thus adds one more name to an ever-expanding list of people who have mysteriously met their untimely ends and, coincidentally or not, had ties to either/or both Hillary Clinton and/or her husband Bill as heard in the first video below. The story from Page Six tells us that the death of Ashe could become a bigger 'conspiracy theory' than the death of Vince Foster, especially considering Hillary is now only one election away from becoming the president of the USA. Seeing that that's the case, we felt it necessary to once again take a look at this ever-expanding 'Clinton body count' that likely just had one more name added to it. How is it that the Clinton family has been surrounded by SO MANY mysterious deaths? As of June of 2015, at least 46 people who were close to the Clinton's have met their untimely end. The evergrowing list kept by What Really Happened has just been updated for the 2016 election to include Ashe's death and the list is now up to at least 48. Is it simply a 'coincidence' that so many people have mysteriously died around the Clinton's or is there something sinister at play...such as...murder? Just knowing that Hillary is still running for president of the USA rather than being prosecuted while the list of bodies that surrounds her and Bill continues to grow shows how absolutely corrupt America has become and completely obliterates what the word 'justice' is supposed to mean. If these people can get away with having so many people killed and are still walking the streets of America with Hitlery now attempting to become president, law and order means absolutely NOTHING in this country any more if our 'leaders' can break the law any time they want and have others killed. Does anybody really think that the death of Ashe, or any of the others who mysteriously met their ends and were tied to the Clintons, will be solved and those responsible held accountable? If you really do, we've got some nice farmland right in the heart of Washington DC that we can sell you....and it's dirt cheap. Why would Americans even think about (s)electing somebody to the highest office of the land who has been completely outed as being 'pure evil' with a lengthy body count surrounding them as heard in the 2nd video below from Evangelist K L Rich? As our videographer tells us, it's clear the mainstream media doesn't want this information getting out there, but should the American people really be kept in the dark about this? Would a (s)election of Hillary, 'the queen of blood,' to the highest office in the land insure our total destruction? Would America even deserve 'redemption' if 'pure evil with a running body count' is voted into the highest office in the land or is a 'President Hillary Clinton' in our future simply another sign that America is rightfully doomed? From Mena, Arkansas to Vince Foster, from Benghazi to Mary Mahoney, from Ron Brown to James Bunch, we hear in the 2nd video below why Hillary Clinton is the 'black widow of politics'. If Hitlery in the White House is the best that America can do, it's only fitting that our nation would deserve the fate that another Clinton presidency would bring us. We'd also expect that such a situation would see a massive explosion of 'the dead' as Hillary gets the NDAA and the full power of the US presidency behind her to help her do her dirty work. If we thought Bill and Obama were bad, we haven't seen anything yet. Ashe — who was facing trial for tax fraud — died Wednesday afternoon in his house in Westchester County. The UN said he’d had a heart attack. But the local Dobbs Ferry police said Thursday that his throat had been crushed, presumably by a barbell he dropped while pumping iron. Ashe was due in court Monday with his Chinese businessman co-defendant Ng Lap Seng, who is charged with smuggling $4.5 million into the US since 2013 and lying that it was to buy art and casino chips. Ng was identified in a 1998 Senate report as the source of hundreds of thousands of dollars illegally funneled through an Arkansas restaurant owner, Charlie Trie, to the Democratic National Committee during the Clinton administration. (Ng was not charged with any crime.) Ng and Trie had visited the White House several times for Democratic fundraising events and were photographed with then-President Bill Clinton and first lady Hillary Clinton. One source told me, “During the trial, the prosecutors would have linked Ashe to the Clinton bagman Ng. It would have been very embarrassing. His death was conveniently timed.”

FBI failed to tell hundreds of Americans that they were on an ISIS kill list after discovering 15,000 U.S. citizens were potential targets

Names of targets found by security officials on encrypted terror websites

15,000 people were and potentially remain as targets for ISIS extremists

But probe has discovered hundreds of those listed never knew about threat

In Texas, just two of 24 people contacted were aware they were on the list

By Euan McLelland For MailOnline Published: 10:07 EST, 28 June 2016 | Updated: 13:34 EST, 28 June 2016

Americans discovered on an ISIS kill list obtained by the FBI were not told about the potential risk facing them, a probe has discovered. The names of more than 15,000 U.S citizens - including teachers, members of the military and art dealers - were found by security officials on encrypted Islamic State websites. They were and potentially still are targets for lone wolf extremists and sleeper cells looking to bring terror to American shores. However, at no point were many made aware of the threat they faced - only finding out when contacted by a team of investigative journalists. Circa News obtained the details of targets in New York, Texas, Florida and California. After phoning them, they were stunned to learn that the high majority had no idea about ISIS vendetta against them. Former FBI counter-terrorism agent Chad Jenkins was astonished by the lack of information those people had been given. He said: 'If we aren't notifying private citizens that is a disservice. 'If we're not then we need to be asking those questions as fellow Americans why that's not being done right now, especially with the evolving threat that we have seen so recently from ISIS-inspired and ISIS themselves here in America.' Between March 2 and the end of May, hacked ISIS accounts exposed eight kill lists. They included the names and addresses of 70 plus military personnel or family members, 56 New Jersey state police officers, 36 Minnesota state police officers, 11 county board members in Tennessee, 50 federal employees, and dozens of New York residents. In Texas, just two of the 24 people contacted whose names were on the hit lists were aware of the threat against them. One Austin woman who was told she and her friends were on the list told the site: 'I was terrified. We live in a different world and the Jewish community is a number one target of these radicals. 'I'm very upset that I was not notified by the FBI or local law enforcement.' When Circa asked the local police forces if they knew anything about their residents on the hit list, they too admitted that they had been left in the dark. 'We were not contacted by the Army or the FBI referencing the threat to our citizen,' Corpus Christi, Police spokesman Chris Hooper said. The FBI officials have said they planned on notifying every person on the kill list. A spokesperson said: 'The FBI routinely notifies individuals and organizations of potential threat information. 'We perform these notifications so potential victims are aware of possible threats and take appropriate steps. 'The FBI will continue to work closely with federal, state, and local partners to keep the public informed of potential threats.'

WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN. . . . .

June 29, 2016 By Contributor 86 Comments

Guest post – Anonymous Honey Badger’s opinion…

The world is turning into a mass of S#*T real quick like! There, I said it. I’m a 55+-year-old who’s been married for over thirty years to the most beautiful woman on earth! I am a bacon loving, gun totin’, non-politically correct individual who remembers what it was like yesterday! You see what is happening today all across Europe. The Liberal Leftist attitude and socialist ways of thinking are destroying an entire continent by bringing in millions of undocumented and unvetted immigrants. They are actually teaching the Political Correctness crap in US colleges nowadays. Free Speech Zones? What the hell is all that about? America used to be a Free Speech Country, not anymore! Ideologists with very different political and religious views are wreaking havoc across the world. Paris, Belgium, and Germany are all catching hell! Why? Because the Left seems to think it’s more important to appease these “refugees” than their own citizens. Who cares right? You and I MUST! What will you do when this stupidity comes to America? To your state? To your town? To your street? Oh wait, it’s already here! Chicago’s mass protests with thousands of Muslims chanting “Death to America’. They are in America chanting that! That’s interesting, isn’t it? How about cities in Michigan, like Dearborn, that are allowing Muslim men to have more than one wife and be on welfare! Some cities are even considering Sharia Law. That means a woman could be stoned to death after being raped because she had unmarried sex, talk about a screwed up law! This would also allow men to marry little girls. . . Underage little girls! Your little girls. Sharia also says its ok for a husband to beat his wife if she doesn’t do what he tells her to do, or if she has a. . . . “headache!” Don’t even get me started on “honor killings.” I want to take this moment to say that I am NOT in any way against immigration or immigrants; after all, we are all immigrants to this great nation. I’m a mutt when it comes to heritage. Most of it is German but, there is some French, Dutch, English, and even some Irish. Yeah, I’m a mutt. All of our ancestors originally came from someplace else and assimilated into the new culture and we made it our own – America. That’s it in a nutshell right there. ASSIMILATION! Take a look back at American history at the turn of the 20th century (you could even go back a few hundred years, too). Immigrants from all over Europe poured into the United States, from China, from Germany, from Italy. They learned the “English” language, they became productive members of society, they became good neighbors, they obeyed the laws (well, most of them anyway). They embraced their new home and society, they ASSIMILATED! They became AMERICANS! What do you see in Europe today? None of these new European “refugees” seem to want to assimilate into their new societies. They are taken in by a host nation and then they riot for this reason or that. Why? Because they are NOT immigrants, they are invaders and they are NOT going to assimilate, they are there to wage a holy war or jihad against their new home in order to take over and rule the current population. For Europe, it’s too late! Why? Studies show that the Islamic invaders are multiplying faster than their local indigenous counterparts. They will outnumber the local populace in about 25 years or so! Most of them are not becoming productive members of society, they are actually getting food stamps and welfare for themselves, their wives (yes, often more than one) and their numerous children. This is counterproductive to society and is a form of financial jihad. They are rioting in the streets and the local governments are stretched to the limits to refrain and restrain since most of the national governments want to prohibit any actions against the so-called immigrants. Local governments often refrain from punishments so as to not “offend” their new neighbors. Sounds a lot like San Francisco, doesn’t it? Sanctuary cities – don’t get me started on that either! I have known many Iraqi and Afghani Muslims and have worked right next to several. Most of them that I knew were fine people. But, as with any religion, you have those that swear by the word of their Holy Books. They take every word literally. If you look back thru history, you will find that Muslims and Islam has been at war since Muhammad walked the earth. . . And they still are. So much for the Religion of Peace. I am a red-blooded American male and I’m not trying to insult anyone but, have you ever seen many European men? They have soft pale skin, no muscular builds, little facial hair and are generally soft-spoken. The average American male is exactly opposite! Europe is going to have a very difficult time with this Fundamental Transformation. Sounds a lot like what Obama spoke of during his elections, huh? Seriously, think about this for a minute. What would you do if you saw ISIS, their black flags, and their US supplied tan Toyotas cruising down I-95 or say I-10? Again, I’ll return to my original question. . . What will you do when this stupidity comes to America? To your state? To your town? To your street? What would you do if the next mass shooting, like Orlando, was in your town? Are you ready? Do you have the male fortitude to deal with it or will you, like so many other Sheeple, run and hide, to live another day in fear? Are you prepared to stay alive? Are you prepared to do what must be done in order to protect yourself and your family and you neighborhood and your city? A side note: There are over 30 Muslim Jihadist Training Compounds in 17 states. Pity the US Government allows this, because they know! Whose side are they on anyway? Hint – it’s not yours or mine! Is there one in your state? It might behoove you to do some research to find out! I will not go looking for it but, if trouble comes to me, I’m all in and it’s going to get ugly real quick. Sorry but, like the old saying goes, “I’d rather die on my feet, than live on my knees.” If it EVER comes to my town or anywhere near it for that matter, I promise you this, I may be end up dead in that fight, but I will NOT the first to fall!

Secret cabal of Gaddafi loyalists rescued Americans trapped during Benghazi terror attacks despite Obama's role in deposing Libyan dictator, damning report claims

Libyans loyal to Colonel Gaddafi saved American lives in Benghazi

Intelligence failures led to the fatal attack on the US consulate in 2012

A 800-page report has criticized the lack of military response on the day

The $7million report did not find any evidence against Hillary Clinton

By Darren Boyle for MailOnline Published: 03:35 EST, 29 June 2016 | Updated: 08:54 EST, 29 June 2016

A secret cabal of Gaddafi loyalists rescued US personnel trapped during the Benghazi terror attacks on September 11, 2012 despite President Obama's attempts to overthrow the Libyan dictator.

The CIA was unaware of the group at the time of the attack which was launched on the US consulate in the coastal city which claimed the lives of four Americans, including the Ambassador Chris Stevens, according to an 800-page report. The report, which cost $7 million and included a two-year investigation into the events surrounding the attack did not find any 'smoking gun' aimed at current presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, who at that time was Secretary of State. On September 11, 2012 a group of heavily-armed men stormed the US consulate. Ambassador Stevens and State Department officer Sean Smith were separated from the joint Libyan / American team providing security for the consulate. Stevens and Smith retreated to a 'safe room' in the consulate behind a heavy steel door. However, the terrorists set fire to the building and it is believed both men died of smoke inhalation. Their bodies were recovered from the building by a group of Libyans, now believed to be Gaddafi loyalists, according to the new 800-page report. Some five hours after the initial attack on the compound, militants launched a mortar attack on a separate CIA compound killing former US Navy SEALS Glen Doherty and Tyrone S. Woods. Two other Americans were wounded. Clinton was grilled by the House Benghazi committee for almost 11 hours. Republican Trey Gowdy asked 'the American people to read this report for themselves, look at the evidence we have collected and reach their own conclusions'. The report is highly critical of intelligence failures which failed to predict the fatal assault as well as the military who failed to act. Clinton defended herself claiming the report did not uncover any further evidence against her. 'I think i'ts pretty clear it's time to move on.' Both Clinton and President Barack Obama faced criticism after trying to blame the assault on a protest against an offensive film about Muslims, instead of a pre-arranged terrorist attack. Military leaders have testified repeatedly that they didn't have intelligence information on what was happening or the resources on alert to respond in time to the attacks, which occurred at two separate locations over 13 hours. The State Department also issued a statement Tuesday, saying that the 'essential facts' of the attacks 'have been known for some time', and have been the subject of numerous reviews, including one by an independent review board. The State Department defended locating a diplomatic outpost in the eastern coastal city of Benghazi. A report by the House Benghazi panel is faulting the military for its slow response sending resources to Benghazi, Libya, during deadly 2012 attacks on a U.S. outpost - despite clear orders from President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. Gowdy says the Libyan forces that evacuated Americans from the CIA annex in Benghazi were not affiliated with any of the militias the CIA or State Department had developed a relationship with during the previous 18 months.

Muslim in Eastern Uganda Burns 9-Year-Old Son for Accepting Christ, Sources Say

Boy tied to tree with dry leaves that catch fire.

NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – The Muslim father of a 9-year-old boy in eastern Uganda who put his faith in Christ this month tied his son to a tree and burned him, sources said. Nassif Malagara of the Kakira Parish area, Kisozi Sub-County, Kamuli District decided to become a Christian after a neighbor took him to visit a church in another village, undisclosed for security reasons, on June 5. “At the end of the service, Nassif remained behind and then followed me to the church’s pastry room and requested that he wanted to receive Jesus as his personal savior,” the pastor of the church told Morning Star News. “I was a bit hesitant, but after his continuous press, I then prayed with him, and he left.” Nassif subsequently declined to participate in any Muslim activities, including attending a madrassa (Islamic school), the pastor said. His father, 36-year-old Abubakar Malagara, and stepmother, Madina Namwaje, 35, became furious when they learned he had converted to Christianity, the pastor said. The boy told Morning Star News that his parents prohibited him from eating, beyond the day-time fast of Ramadan, so that he went without food for two days before sneaking to his neighbor’s house for food. He brought food back to his home over the next few days, and on June 9 his father caught him eating. “He started beating me up with sticks, but I managed to escape to a nearby bush,” Nassif said. “My father then followed me and got hold of me back to the homestead, where he tied me up to a banana tree. He went into the house and came back with a hot piece of wood. The banana tree had dry leaves, which caught fire and caused serious burns on my body.” Neighbors heard his screams for help and rescued him, he said, and took him to Kamuli Hospital. The hospital’s Walwawo Zubari told Morning Star News that Nassif had burns on several parts of his body. “Nassif has been recovering, but at a very slow pace,” Zubari said. “He might need to be referred to another hospital for specialized treatment.” A relative told Morning Star News that she hopes to take custody of Nassif after his release from the hospital. Area residents alerted Kisozi Police Post, and officers arrested Malagara, registering the case under reference number CRR044/2016. Malagara, who attends Nankaduro mosque, has been released on bail. The neighbor (name withheld for security reasons) who introduced Nassif to the church said he fears for his life after receiving a threatening text message on his phone. “We know that you are behind the conversion of Nassif to Christianity,” the message read. “You will soon reap what you have sown, which will be a lesson to others. Islam is against such conversion.” The sender blocked his identity, but the neighbor said he suspects Malagara might have used another Muslim’s phone to send the message. About 85 percent of the people in Uganda are Christian and 11 percent Muslim, with some eastern areas having large Muslim populations. The country’s constitution and other laws provide for religious freedom, including the right to propagate one’s faith and convert from one faith to another. Kamuli District is about 220 kilometers (136 miles) from Mbale Town in eastern Uganda. Nassif’s case comes after a Christian in eastern Uganda who had received death threats from Muslims after a religious discussion was killed on June 4. The body of Yokannah Zirinkuma of Kasasira village, Kibuku District, was found in a pool of blood in nearby Kadama village, near the home of the primary suspect. Zirinkuma was 50. On May 15 in Kasecha village, Kibuku District, Micah Byamukama, pastor of Kasecha Baptist Church, died at Kabweri Health Centre after ingesting an insecticide that a Muslim villager was suspected of putting into his food. He was 61. On May 8 in Mbaale village, Imanyiro Sub-County, Mayuge District, a Muslim strangled his wife to death for leaving Islam, relatives and neighbors said. Awali Kakaire, 34, allegedly killed Mariam Nakirya for embracing Christianity. She was 30. On April 19, Muslims in Pallisa District beat and raped a young Christian woman for testifying that a mosque leader killed her father because of his faith, sources said. The imam at a mosque in Kanyumu village, Sheikh Musana Ibrahim, and two other Muslims killed Samson Mukama on Jan. 28, according to his daughter. On April 4, a Muslim in Kachomo village, Budaka District, attacked his wife for becoming a Christian, telling a judge that Islam allows him to kill any apostate, sources said. Having moved to another village with their four children following an attack last year, Ntende Hawa, 38, said she was visiting her estranged husband to discuss child support when he questioned her about her faith and began strangling her. Her husband’s brother stopped the assault. Threats from hard-line Muslims and the rape of her 13-year-old daughter forced a Christian mother of five children to flee their village in eastern Uganda in March, sources said. Amina Napiya, a 42-year-old widow, fled her home in Nakajete village, Budaka Town Council, on March 16. Napiya and her five children fled after receiving a text message that the family would be killed for leaving Islam, she said. Napiya’s daughter was raped on Feb. 25 while fetching firewood a kilometer from their home at about 4:30 p.m., the widow said. Napiya believes relatives may have hired Taika Suleiman, arrested in connection with the alleged rape, to assault her daughter because of their faith, as her daughter told her that the rapist said, “This is the second warning to your mother for disgracing the faith of the Muslims.” On Jan. 10, relatives of Abdu Nsera, a recent high school graduate in Katende village near Busede, Jinja District, beat him after finding out he had left Islam to become a Christian. They burned down a house they had built for him and have been searching for him after he fled. On Jan. 27 in Numuseru village, Naboa Sub-County in Budaka District, the body of Laurence Maiso was found at his house, his head in a pool of blood. Four days earlier, Imam Kamulali Hussein had met him and his wife on a local road and told him, “Allah is about to send to you the Angel of Death in your house. Please prepare to meet him at any time.” On Dec. 23, 2015, a pastor in eastern Uganda was hacked to death as he and other church members resisted an effort by Muslims to take over their land in Nansololo village near Mazuba, in Namutumba District, area church leaders said. Pastor Bongo Martin is survived by a widow and two children. In another area of eastern Uganda, five underground Christians in a predominantly Muslim village, including a pregnant mother, died from a pesticide put into their food after a Bible study on Dec. 18, area sources said. The Bible study took place in Kachomo village, Kachomo Sub-County, Budaka District at the home of Hajii Suleiman Sajjabi, a convert from Islam who had begun the study with eight family members who had come to faith in Christ under his influence. Four of Sajjabi’s relatives have died, as did a pregnant neighbor, according to area sources. A doctor at Mbale Regional Hospital said a postmortem test showed a substance known as Malathion, a low-toxicity pesticide, in those who had died. Though low-level toxic, Malathion when ingested quickly metabolizes into highly toxic Tomalaoxon. Islamic extremists in eastern Uganda on Dec. 8, 2015 set a deadly trap for a Christian policeman who had left Islam, and the next day other hard-line Muslims kidnapped three children from another convert in a nearby village. More than 20 Muslim extremists in the Komodo area of Kadama Sub-County, Kibuku District, killed officer Ismail Kuloba at about 4 p.m. after he responded to an urgent call to intervene in a supposed land dispute between warring parties, an area Christian told Morning Star News. Kuloba was 43. One of the assailants, Mudangha Kasimu, threw a stone that hit Kuloba in the forehead. Kasimu then shot him twice in the head, and he died as other Muslims were shouting, ‘Allah Akbar [God is greater],’” sources said. About 12 miles east in Kabuna, near Budaka in Kaderuna District, a group of Muslim men from Pallisa on Dec. 9 kidnapped three children of Madengho Badir, a Christian convert from Islam, sources said. Badir, 42, arrived at his home in Kabuna Sub-County, Kabuna parish, at 10 p.m. to find 5-year-old Nabukwasi Shakira, 7-year-old Gessa Amuza and 10-year-old Wagti Musitafa missing. An area source said a 14-year-old boy from Kabuna, Karami Hassan, was with Badir’s three children when they were abducted near their home. The boy said a group of Muslims from Pallisa were looking for Badir, and the boy led them to Badir’s children. Outside of Kabeshai, near Pallisa, a Christian father of five who supported 10 children whose families had disowned them for leaving Islam was killed on Dec. 2. One of three men who attacked Patrick Ojangole reproached him for failing to heed a warning to cease his Christian activities before the Christian was killed, said a witness who was with Ojangole and escaped. Ojangole was 43. On Nov. 12, 2015, the father of a young Muslim woman in east Uganda tried to beat her to death after she became a Christian, but community leaders intervened and limited him to disowning her, sources said. Kibida Muyemba learned that his 21-year-old daughter, Namusisi Birye, had put her faith in Christ at an evangelistic campaign held that day in Nandere village, Kadama Sub-County, Kibuku District, 41 kilometers (25 miles) west of Mbale, church leaders told Morning Star News. Birye and a man in the traditional dress of an imam confessed openly to receiving Christ, they said, and angry Muslims cut the event short. On Oct. 19, 2015, Muslims in Kalampete village, Kibuku District who were angry at a Christian for leaving Islam killed his wife, a month after his brother was killed for the same reason. Mamwikomba Mwanika, mother of three adult children and five others ranging in age from 17 to 9, died en route to a hospital after Muslims unknown to her dragged her from her home at about 9 p.m. and assaulted her, survivors said. Her husband’s brother, Samson Nfunyeku, was killed in the village on Sept. 23 after flaring tempers cut short a religious debate he’d had with Islamic scholars. In Nsinze village, Namutumba District, a Muslim beat and left for dead his wife and 18-year-old son on Aug. 11 after learning they had converted to Christianity, area sources said. Issa Kasoono beat and strangled his wife, Jafalan Kadondi, but she survived, said a source who requested anonymity. He said other relatives joined Kasoono in beating her and their two sons, Ibrahim Kasoono, 18, and Ismael Feruza, 16, though the younger son managed to escape with only bruises on his arm. The wife of a former sheikh was poisoned to death on June 17, 2015 after she and her husband put their faith in Christ in Nabuli village, Kibuku District. Namumbeiza Swabura was the mother of 11 children, including a 5-month-old baby. In Kiryolo, Kaderuna Sub-County, Budaka District on March 28, 2015, five Muslims gang-raped the 17-year-old daughter of a pastor because the church leader ignored their warnings that he stop worship services, she said.

Lebanese Christian women armed with machine guns patrol their border village after jihadis launch suicide attacks

ISIS is suspected of launching nine attacks including eight suicide bombs on the Lebanese border town of Qaa

The area has a strong Christian population and members were attacked as they went to a church service yesterday

Lebanese special forces rounded up 103 suspected illegal migrants from Syria in a security sweep earlier today

The Lebanese government accused ISIS of being behind the deadly attacks on Qaa which killed five pepole

Lebanese Christian women have launched armed patrols carry machine guns after their village was attacked by a jihadi suicide bombers. The women from the Christian village Qaa, which is a few hundred metres from Syria, was attacked by several suicide bombers on Monday. The attacks have prompted the government to round up 103 Syrian migrants who are accused of sneaking into the country illegally. Lebanese troops have detained a 103 Syrians accused of entering the country illegally following a string of suicide attacks along the border. Lebanon shares a 250-mile land border with Syria to the north and the east. The strikes on Qaa killed five people, with suicide bombers even attacking ambulances ferrying victims from earlier attacks. A government statement said: 'The attack on the Lebanese national security and the unfamiliar manner in which it was executed usher in a new kind of phase in the state's confrontation with the dark forces of terrorism.' The bombings triggered fear and panic among Qaa's residents and a deepening sense of foreboding in Lebanon, which has grappled for over five years with spillovers from Syria's civil war. Tuesday was declared a national day of mourning and authorities postponed funerals for the five killed in Monday's bombings, citing security reasons. A major religious event scheduled in the capital, Beirut, by the militant Hezbollah group was also postponed. Also citing security concerns, the ministry of culture postponed the opening of the Bacchus Temple, part of the famed ruins of Baalbek. A troupe of Syrian actors roaming the Bekaa Valley with a performance about refugee woes postponed its tour. A limited curfew was imposed in Qaa and the surrounding area. The army said it carried out security raids in six areas in the Baalbek region, which has many informal Syrian refugee settlements. It said nine motorcycles and two vehicles were confiscated and two Lebanese were arrested with illegal weapons. Monday's explosions, four in the early morning and five at night, also wounded nearly 30 in Qaa. Later in the day, two bombers blew themselves up outside the village church as people gathered for funerals of those killed earlier Monday. The army said one of the suicide bombers detonated his explosives as he was chased by troops, while the other blew himself up near a military post when guards fired at him. No one was killed but the two blasts wounded 13 people. Minister of Interior Nouhad Machnouk said initial investigations indicate most of the bombers were from inside Syria and not refugees. He didn't elaborate. Private Lebanese OTV aired what it said was footage from security cameras in Qaa, purporting to show a young man involved in the attack. The footage shows the young man with a backpack heading to a gathering outside the church, apparently to blow himself up. Qaa and the nearby Ras Baalbek are the only two villages with a Christian majority in the predominantly Shiite Hermel region, where the Shiite Hezbollah group holds sway. The group has sent thousands of its fighters to Syria to bolster President Bashar Assad's forces against the predominantly Sunni rebels trying to topple him. Hezbollah's Al-Manar TV blamed Monday's attack on ISIS, Al-Mustaqbal daily, which is owned by Hezbollah's rival group, suggested the army was the target of the attack. No group has claimed responsibility for the bombings. Sunni extremists have carried out several attacks in the border area since Syria's conflict began in March 2011, leading the Christians of Qaa to set up self-defense units for their village. Officials believe ISIS was responsible for the attacks, but there has not been a claim of responsibility. Interior Minister Nohad Machnouk, speaking from Qaa, said most of the attackers had come from inside Syria, and not refugee camps hosting Syrian refugees who number more than 1 million in Lebanon according to the U.N. refugee agency UNHCR. Local authorities imposed curfews on Syrian refugees in the area following the attacks. The Lebanese army said it had mounted dawn raids on Syrian refugee camps, detaining 103 people for being illegally present in the country. The majority of Syrian refugees have no legal status in Lebanon due to the complications and costs of obtaining or renewing residency rights under rules imposed by the Lebanese government, aid agencies say. In Qaa, residents armed with assault rifles fanned out in the streets for several hours on Tuesday, citing the need to protect the area. They later dispersed when the army asked them to go home. The head of the Qaa local council had on Monday night urged residents to shoot anyone suspicious. Security sources said Hezbollah deployed dozens of armed men in nearby villages to help secure the area. 'We are not leaving for sure, we are staying here ... we are not afraid. We are not leaving our land,' Maher Rizk, a cafe owner, said.

Increased volcanic activity in the last 24 hours: Popocatepetl volcano, Colima volcano and Santamaria volcano explosions By Strange Sounds - Jun 29, 2016

Within the last 24 hours, increased volcanic activity has been reported in Mexico and Guatemala.

The Popocatepetl volcano, the Colima volcano and the Santa Maria volcano have explosed almost simultaneously. Colima explosion on June 28, 2016 As shown by the following video from WebCamsdeMexico, the Colima volcano erupted strongly on June 28, 2016 at 7:31 am: In the last 24 hours, 3 explosions (at 8:50, 09:24 and 09:36), 4 volcano tectonic earthquakes (M1.5, M1.6, M1.8 and M1.8), 202 long period earthquakes, and 42 minutes of low amplitude harmonic tremor have been captured. During the night, glow sources within the crater were observed and the volcano expels continuously a steam and gas emission moving towards northeast. CENAPRED emphasizes that people SHOULD NOT go near the volcano, especially near the crater, due to the hazard caused by ballistic fragments. Explosion of Santa Maria volcano on June 27, 2016 The volcano threw ash and gas column to a height of 5000 meters on June 27, 2016. Here some nice pictures: Do you see the elephant in the next picture? And now a dinosaur! Awesome! As shown in the next video, lahars have also been filmed going down the slope of the Santiaguito volcano on June 24, 2016: Could the Popocatepetl volcanic explosion be linked to the M5.7 earthquake that struck southern Mexico on June 27, 2016? A strong earthquake struck in southern Mexico on Monday afternoon, which was felt in five states. Tall buildings swayed in Mexico City 215 miles (350 kilometers) from the quake’s epicenter. No injured or significant damage have been reported. One day after, the Popocatepetl volcano exploded three times. The volcano is situated in the area were tremors have been felt and thus the eruption could have been triggered by the strong quake. However, it is still unknown if earthquakes can produce volcano eruptions. Scientists are still debating the topic.

FBI recommends no charges against Hillary Clinton

‘Extremely careless’ with classified information

By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Tuesday, July 5, 2016

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was “extremely careless” in her use of a secret email server to conduct government business, and it’s possible enemy hackers breached her system — but the FBI is not recommending she face charges, saying it can’t find evidence her behavior was intentionally criminal. His decision likely removes the legal jeopardy from Mrs. Clinton, though his detailed recitation of her behavior will be a black mark as she pursues the White House. He said more than 100 email chains Mrs. Clinton was part of contained information that was classified at the time she sent or received it, and thousands of other messages have since been “up-classified.” And he said Mrs. Clinton’s lawyers didn’t even read every message when deciding which ones they deemed work-related — puncturing Mrs. Clinton’s own assurances that she’s belatedly completed the public record. But Mr. Comey said though she was reckless, he and his investigators found no evidence Mrs. Clinton intentionally tried to mishandle classified information, and he said they could find no other situations where a successful case had been made against someone in a similar situation. “No charges are appropriate in this case,” he said. He said that shouldn’t be seen as a green light to others — indeed, he said those who behave like Mrs. Clinton often face administrative sanctions from their employers, or lose security privileges. But with Mrs. Clinton out of office now, neither of those alternatives is available in her case.

FBI’s Comey: Clinton 'extremely careless' about emails, but bureau will not advise criminal charges

Published July 05, 2016 FoxNews.com Facebook Twitter livefyre Email

FBI Director James Comey announced Tuesday that despite evidence Hillary Clinton was “extremely careless” in her handling of classified emails on a private server, the bureau will not recommend to the Department of Justice that criminal charges be brought against the former secretary of state. “Our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case,” Comey said. Clinton's spokesman Brian Fallon issued a written statement shortly after the announcement. "We are pleased that the career officials handling this case have determined that no further action by the Department is appropriate.," he said. "As the Secretary has long said, it was a mistake to use her personal email and she would not do it again. We are glad that this matter is now resolved."

WikiLeaks rolls out archive of over 1,200 ‘Clinton Iraq War’ emails

Published time: 5 Jul, 2016 01:36 Edited time: 5 Jul, 2016 06:23

The now-infamous whistleblowing website has published an archive of what is said to be over 1,200 of Hillary Clinton's private emails pertaining to the Iraq War. Julian Assange previously said that the release would be “enough to indict her.” On Monday, WikiLeaks tweeted a link to a search aggregate of 1,258 emails that Clinton wrote or received discussing US engagement in Iraq while she headed the State Department. The Iraq War email bundle is part of a trove of Clinton's correspondence that was released by the State Department in February, under the Freedom of Information Act. In March, WikiLeaks launched a searchable archive consisting of 30,322 emails from Hillary Clinton’s private email server that she used while serving as Secretary of State. The 50,547 pages of documents cover Clinton's correspondence from 30 June 2010 to 12 August 2014. Out of that number, 7,570 of the documents were sent by Hillary Clinton. The use of private email for state-run business has become a thorn in the side of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. With Democratic convention just weeks away, the public eye is following a close watch of a potential grand jury indictment. READ MORE: After FBI grilling, Hillary Clinton calls husband's chat with Attorney General 'chance meeting' This past weekend, the FBI spent more than three hours questioning Clinton about the email scandal, but as elections loom, the Bureau has yet to issue a report on its findings. It has been a year since inspectors general from the State Department and federal intelligence agencies referred the case of Clinton’s server to the Justice Department last July. The FBI questioning fell days after it was reported that former president Bill Clinton had held talks with Attorney General Loretta Lynch, responsible for the government’s investigation of Hillary Clinton’s emails. Clinton denied that her husband's meeting with Lynch had anything to do with the email investigation. Many believe that the former Secretary of State will not be indicted for her use of private email. "That’s just not going to happen," Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey, told CNN's State of the Union program Sunday. "That’s something that, to me, is not within the realm of possibility." "I am not worried about it," Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown told ABC’s This Week on Sunday. "There will not be an indictment, and that means she did what many secretaries of state have done in the past." Prior to Monday's release, the founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange warned that "upcoming leaks in relation to Hillary Clinton" would be enough to indict her. "We've accumulated a lot of material about Hillary Clinton. We could proceed to an indictment," Assange told ITV. Yet at the same time, the whistleblower said that despite overwhelming evidence calling for an indictment, Lynch “will never” proceed with the charges.

The Most Frightening Political Fix

The most breathtaking fix in American history.

July 5, 2016 David Horowitz

Today we have witnessed a most frightening manifestation of the corruption of our political system. Doubly frightening because of what it augurs for all our futures if Hillary Clinton should prevail in the November elections. At the center of this corruption – but hardly alone - are the criminal Clintons – the Bonnie and Clyde of American politics - and their Democratic Party allies; but we should not fail to mention also the Republican enablers who would rather fight each other and appease their adversaries than win the political wars. We knew they could fix the Department of Justice; we suspected they could fix the FBI. What we didn’t know was that the fixes would be this transparent: the secret meeting with a chief culprit and the DOJ head; the next day announcement by Justice that the Clinton bribery investigations would be postponed until well after the election; the suspiciously brief FBI interrogation of the former Secretary of State who during her entire tenure had recklessly breached national security protocols, deleted 30,000 emails; burned her government schedules; put top secret information onto a hackable server in violation of federal law; and topping it all the failure of the FBI director after enumerating her reckless acts to recommend a prosecution - all within a single week, and just in time for the Democrats’ nominating convention. It was, all in all, the most breathtaking fix in American history. And it wasn’t ordinary criminal corruption. It was corruption affecting the nation’s security by individuals and a regime that have turned the Middle East over to the Islamic terrorists; that have enabled America’s chief enemy in the region, Iran, to become its dominant power; that allowed the Saudis, deeply implicated in the attacks of 9/11, to cover their crimes and spread Islamic hate doctrines into the United States; it was about selling our foreign policy to the high bidders at home and abroad, and about making America vulnerable to our enemies. What can be done? First of all it’s a matter of deciding who you believe - the political elites who are telling you everything is normal, or your lying eyes? The political system is corrupt and cannot clean its own house. What is needed is an outside political force that will begin the job by putting the interests of our country first again. Call it what you will – nationalism or common sense – it is the most pressing need for the country now. Such a force would have to find its support outside Washington. Call that what you will – populism or democracy – no reforming leader can be elected without it. No political leader can begin to accomplish this task, without the support of ordinary Americans registered at the ballot box.

Hillary Got a Pass From the FBI

By Bradley A. Blakeman Tuesday, 05 Jul 2016 03:05 PM

If you listened to the first 13 minutes of FBI Director James Comey’s press statement regarding his agency’s investigation of Hillary’s home-brewed email operation while she was secretary of state you would think that she was guilty of multiple crimes for her mishandling of classified material found on her private email server. The FBI director raked Hillary over the coals for having top secret information on a nonsecure server. He went on to say that it is possible that foreign actors could have hacked her various private email accounts. He said her conduct was “extremely careless.” Yet, in spite of the damning “indictment” Comey said that the FBI would recommend no criminal charges to the Department of Justice. The federal criminal law is clear: “Whoever, being entrusted with . . . national security documents . . . through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from it’s proper place of custody . . . shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.” The FBI director’s initial statement seemed to be exactly on point to Hillary’s behavior. Hillary cannot subcontract to others i.e., staff, attorneys, etc. official responsibilities personal to her. She is directly responsible. Delegation, mistake, sheer incompetence or malfeasance is no defense to a crime. Hillary convinced the FBI that she was clueless or that she relied on others and they bought it. The buck should stop with her. Before she took office as secretary of state she was sworn into office and was required to sign a declaration wherein she agreed and acknowledged knowing all the rules and regulations with regard to the handling and dissemination of classified communications. Contrary to her public statements, the State Department Inspector General stated that at no time did Hillary receive permission to exclusively use a personal email and server for all her official emails. She claimed ignorance and that should have sealed her fate. Some of the criminal statutes the government was looking at do not require intent — gross negligence is enough to convict. Some statutes are strict liability; that is to say if a top secret document appears on your personal server either sent or received it is a crime. This is why I believe the FBI to the Justice Department should have referred Hillary for prosecution. While it is true that Hillary will never be tried in a criminal court — she will be tried in the court of public opinion. It is now up to Donald Trump to prosecute Hillary for her criminal behavior, gross negligence, incompetence and malfeasance and the American people will judge her at the polls in November. There is no doubt in my mind that justice was not “blind” in the Hillary case — it was blind, deaf, and dumb. Any other person who had security clearances who acted in the same manner as Hillary with regard to the handling, dissemination, and storage of classified materials would be indicted and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Hillary got a pass because of who she is, period. The FBI’s determination is inconsistent with the evidence and defies common sense. Bradley A. Blakeman served as deputy assistant to President George W. Bush from 2001-04. He is currently a professor of politics and public policy at Georgetown University and a frequent contributor to Fox News Opinion.

NASA's Juno spacecraft enters Jupiter's orbit

Michael Kofsky, USATODAY 9:21 a.m. EDT July 5, 2016

PASADENA, Calif. — The best celebration this Independence Day wasn’t around a barbecue or fireworks show, but in a dark room filled with NASA engineers. After hours of anticipation, team members broke out in cheers. The Juno mission's spacecraft made it into Jupiter's orbit just before 9 p.m. local time after a risky maneuver to slow it down by more than 1,200 mph so it could be captured by Jupiter’s gravity. "NASA did it again," said Scott Bolton, the scientist in charge of the Juno project, in a news conference afterward at the California Institute of Technology's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where the mission is being directed. Rick Nybakken, a Juno project manager, said it was a "make-or-break" moment for Juno's five-year-old, 1.8 billion mile journey through space. Juno will now take a series of risky dives beneath Jupiter’s intense radiation belts where it will study the gas giant from as close as 2,600 miles over the planet's cloud tops. The last mission to the gas giant, Galileo, which ended in 2003, spent most of its mission five times farther away than Juno will get. The aim of the mission is to collect data about how the solar system formed. Going beneath the radiation belts to collect data involves some risks. Juno’s close approaches will expose it to enough radiation to fry most modern electronics, so the craft will dip in just once every two weeks for a few hours to minimize exposure. Juno is also outfitted with a radiation-shielded titanium vault that houses most of its sensitive equipment. The sensitive maneuver known as orbital insertion required extreme precision. It involved firing a rocket engine to slow Juno down. If it hadn’t worked, Juno could have ended up flying off into space at speeds too great to ever return. “You’ve gotta fire the engine at exactly the right time in exactly the right place. That’s not easy,” said Guy Beutelschies, director of Interplanetary Missions at Lockheed Martin Space Systems, the NASA contractor that built the spacecraft. In the end, Juno followed the flight plan almost exactly, accurate to within one second. The mood at the news press conference an hour later was one of celebration and relief. "(We're all) going to bed tonight not worrying about what’s gonna happen tomorrow, it’s pretty amazing,” said Diane Brown, an executive for the Juno program. “Juno is going to just skim the top of Jupiter…so we’ll be able to learn so much more. What’s it made of? What’s the atmosphere? How did it originate?” said Brown. “We prepared a contingency communications procedure and guess what?” said Nybakken, who then ripped up the contingency plans in front of the cameras.

Watch: Israel supporters confront Iran hate-fest en masse

For the first time, London's yearly Al Quds Day march did not go unchallenged. Pro-Hezbollah marchers were in for a surprise.

By Ari Soffer First Publish: 7/4/2016, 8:48 PM

Last week, London - like many cities throughout the world - saw its own "Al Quds Day" march, a yearly anti-Israel hate-fest first launched by the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979, to call for the destruction of the Jewish state. Typically, the march sees thousands of Islamist and far-left demonstrators parading Hezbollah flags and calling for Israel's destruction unchallenged through the streets of the British capital - though in recent years the number of anti-Israel marchers has dwindled somewhat, as Sunni Muslims and supporters of the Syrian opposition have boycotted the parade due to its support for Iran and Hezbollah, the two most important allies of the brutal Assad regime. Pro-Israel groups have tended to shy away from confronting the parade, with many among the Jewish establishment preferring to "play it safe" and ignore the event - much to the frustration of grassroots activists, who say such demonstrations of anti-Israel hatred, which often spill over into open anti-Semitism, cannot go unchallenged. This year, however, was different, courtesy of a coalition of pro-Israel and Jewish groups, spanning grassroots groups such as the Israel Advocacy Movement and Sussex Friends of Israel, as well as major Jewish and Zionist organizations such as the Board of Deputies, Jewish Leadership Council and Zionist Federation. First, a handful of pro-Israel counter-protesters fearlessly confronted the march, at one point even blocking their route in an unprecedented show of defiance. But that was only the beginning. For the first time, Al Quds Day marchers ended their parade of hate in front of a sea of blue and white Israeli flags, as hundreds of supporters of Israel gathered at the march's end point for a demonstration of their own, which saw rousing speeches from prominent human rights activist Hillel Neuer and Conservative MP Matthew Offord, among others. The event has been lauded as a major success by pro-Israel groups, who say this is just the beginning of a concerted campaign to turn the tables on the anti-Israel movement in the UK. Or, as the Israel Advocacy Movement which spearheaded the counter-protest stated: "The tides are turning, no longer will British Zionists sit idly by as warmongers call for the genocide of our friends and family in Israel."

Trump unloads on FBI clearing Clinton: 'System rigged'

'Crooked Hillary compromised our national security. No charges. Wow!'

Published: 1 day ago. Updated: 07/05/2016 at 9:19 PM Garth Kant

WASHINGTON – “The system is rigged,” charged Donald Trump. The GOP presidential candidate wasted no time in blasting the FBI after its director announced his decision not to recommend the government file criminal charges against Democratic Party presidential candidate Hillary Clinton over her email scandal. Immediately following the announcement, Trump fired off a tweet that read: “The system is rigged. General Petraeus got in trouble for far less. Very very unfair! As usual, bad judgment.” What do YOU think? Sound off on FBI not pursuing charges against Hillary That was a reference to former CIA Director David Petraeus. In his case, FBI investigators recommended felony charges against the former general for allegedly providing classified information to his biographer and mistress, Paula Broadwell. Petraeus eventually pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor charge of mishandling classified information. Two minutes after his first tweet, Trump issued a second broadside: “FBI director said Crooked Hillary compromised our national security. No charges. Wow! #RiggedSystem.” Even while announcing no charges would be recommended, FBI Director James Comey did, indeed, appear extremely concerned that Clinton had exposed state secrets to hackers, including those working for foreign governments. He said, “We do assess that hostile actors gained access to the private commercial email accounts of people with whom secretary Clinton was in regular contact from her personal account.” Trump expanded on his initial comments a few hours later, releasing a statement that said, “[B]ecause of our rigged system that holds the American people to one standard and people like Hillary Clinton to another, it does not look like she will be facing the criminal charges that she deserves.” He asserted she would pose a danger to the country’s security as president because, “Our adversaries almost certainly have a blackmail file on Hillary Clinton, and this fact alone disqualifies her from service.” Trump suggested it was up to voters to bring Clinton to justice. “The final jury will be the American people, and they will issue the verdict on her corruption, incompetence, and bad judgment on November 8th,” he concluded. As WND reported, Comey announced Tuesday morning that although there was evidence the former secretary of state potentially violated the laws regarding the handling of classified information, the bureau was not recommending the Justice Department file charges because there was “no clear evidence” Clinton or her colleagues intended to break the law. Former federal prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy accused Comey of essentially rewriting the law to clear Clinton because the statute does not mention intent. “The lack of intent to harm our country is irrelevant. People never intend the bad things that happen due to gross negligence,” wrote the legal scholar. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, echoed McCarthy’s assessment, in a statement issued late in the afternoon, charging that “Director Comey has rewritten a clearly worded federal criminal statute.”

FBI won’t recommend email charges against Hillary

“In so doing,” Cruz warned, “he has come dangerously close to saying that grossly negligent handling of classified information should not result in serious consequences for high-level officials. In a nation where the rule of law is supposed to matter, this is troubling.” McCarthy also took issue with Comey’s assertion that no reasonable prosecutor would bring a case based on the evidence uncovered by the FBI because the director himself had conceded Clinton committed gross negligence. Many others were just as shocked and outraged as Trump. and reaction on Twitter was fast and furious. Conservative columnist David Limbaugh: “Many Dems don’t care if Dems break the law (ends justify means); others are so brainwashed they will never believe Hillary broke the law.” Conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt: “Damning. She’s disqualified. You can vote for her, but she’s a danger to the national security of US because of her recklessness” Conservative commentator Monica Crowley: “Rule of law? What rule of law? Rule of law is for schmucks.” Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.: “Today Comey & Obama’s DOJ made it clear to the American people there’s no accountability no justice & the Clintons live by different rules.” Former U.S. Ambassador John Bolton: “The #FBI recommends no charges & yet there is evidence of potential violations regarding the handling of classified info. Unbelievable.” Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer: “If Hillary were still Sec State, Pres O would have to fire her. But instead, he travels with her and seeks to promote her. Disgusting.” More Fleischer: “Bottom line: Hillary is reckless, careless and has poor judgement, but she’s not a criminal. Which means she’s likely to be our next POTUS.” Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif.: “The FBI decision shows once again how the Clintons and others at the top get to live by a different set of rules from everyone else.” Fox News host Eric Bolling: “FBI recommends no further action … good thing there’s an Atny General who will uphold rule of law. Oh wait she just met with Bill …#GUILTY” Conservative commentator Daniel Horowitz: “Let’s face it, a republican who faced such allegations would be forced to withdraw candidacy, irrespective of criminal charges.” Washington talk-radio host Larry O’Connor: “People never INTEND to act with ‘gross negligence.’ That’s the whole point of the law! #clintonrules” Conservative commentator Dana Loesch: “They will do everything in their power to get Clinton into the White House.” More Loesch: “So glad Comey was able to take care of Hillary’s awkward little investigation right before Obama campaigned with her.” Gov. Scott Walker, R-Wisc.: “Clinton had emails marked Special Access Program (beyond Top Secret). Put nat’l security at risk. Unfit to be POTUS.” Conservative commentator John Podhoretz“#ImWithHerBecauseShesExtremelyCarelessAndLiedConstantly” More Podhoretz: “If you think Comey got it right, please note he called her a liar.” Wall Street Journal editor James Taranto: “Laws Are for Little People: Comey delivers an indictment but won’t seek one” Conservative commentator Jedediah Bila: “Hillary is a liar. We’ve seen it many times. The question is whether that will matter enough to people to cost her the election. I say no.” Conservative commentator Katie Pavlich: “Obama DOJ: James Rosen is a criminal co-conspirator but Hillary Clinton should be the next President of the United States. Columnist Ben Shapiro: “Hillary’s got her fig leaf. That’s all that matters to the media.” More Shapiro: “Obama on a plane with Hillary as Comey prepares to exonerate her is like Michael Corleone taking confession as Clemenza murders his enemies.” Majority Whip Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, quoting the Washington Post: “WP: ‘For a candidate already badly struggling on questions of whether she is honest and trustworthy … Comey’s comments are devastating.'” CNN political analyst Amanda Carpenter: “Clinton compromised natl security but we can’t think about revoking her security clearance bc she might be President. Fantastic.” More Carpenter: “Saying HRC didn’t ‘intend’ to compromise natl sec. w server setup is like chugging a fifth of rum & saying you didn’t intend to get drunk.” Former Gov. Mike Huckabee, R-Ark.: “Hillary may not be POTUS, but she’ll be on the Winter Olympic team for ice skating, no one has successfully skated on more thin ice than her” Sen.

FBI's James Comey declares the rule of law has just been abandoned in America: Selective prosecution means total immunity for the criminals in Washington

Tuesday, July 05, 2016 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

(NaturalNews) Earlier today, FBI director James Comey magically cleared democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton of any risk of criminal prosecution related to her classified email violations. In a live press conference that was obviously scripted, Comey confirmed that Hillary Clinton sent or received at least 110 emails that contained classified information, in blatant violation of U.S. law. This violation of federal law was described by Comey as "reckless" but not worthy of prosecution. "No charges are appropriate in this case," he concluded. Yet it's clear this decision was based on special consideration that applies only to politically connected power brokers like Hillary Clinton. Many other individuals are currently in prison for carrying out similar acts. Unlike Clinton, they were prosecuted for violating national security laws. But Clinton, as part of America's political elite, is evidently immune from all prosecution. Effectively, James Comey rewrote federal law to excuse Clinton by claiming she didn't "intend" to violate the law. In this outstanding article entitled FBI Rewrites Federal Law to Let Hillary Off the Hook, Andrew McCarthy brilliantly explains: There is no way of getting around this: According to Director James Comey (disclosure: a former colleague and longtime friend of mine), Hillary Clinton checked every box required for a felony violation of Section 793(f) of the federal penal code (Title 18): With lawful access to highly classified information she acted with gross negligence in removing and causing it to be removed it from its proper place of custody, and she transmitted it and caused it to be transmitted to others not authorized to have it, in patent violation of her trust. Director Comey even conceded that former Secretary Clinton was “extremely careless” and strongly suggested that her recklessness very likely led to communications (her own and those she corresponded with) being intercepted by foreign intelligence services. Yet, Director Comey recommended against prosecution of the law violations he clearly found on the ground that there was no intent to harm the United States. In essence, in order to give Mrs. Clinton a pass, the FBI rewrote the statute, inserting an intent element that Congress did not require. None of us are surprised that the FBI rewrote the law specifically to give Hillary Clinton a free pass. We all now expect exactly this kind of corruption in Washington. That's how far gone America really is... THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED AT EVERY LEVEL! America is no longer a nation of law What this decision by James Comey and the FBI really means is that America is no longer a nation of law. Instead, it is a wholly corrupt political regime where even the top investigation officials selectively apply or ignore the law, depending on the political leanings of their intended targets. Those individuals who violate the law but are part of the protected elite are granted immunity from prosecution. On the other hand, those individuals who oppose the political elite are selectively targeted for extreme prosecution, often based on far flimsier evidence than what was gathered from Clinton's private email server (see the prosecution of General Petraeus as an example). Effectively, James Comey's announcement is a declaration that the government can no longer police itself. Every branch of government will now cover up and protect every other branch of government, no matter how corrupt or illegal the actions. The upshot of this arrangement is that the government will always protect its own interests while selectively targeting independent-minded citizens and groups for prosecution and intimidation. No one has been charged in the IRS' targeting of patriotic non-profit groups, for example. And no one ever will. Similarly, not one federal official has been charged in the Flint, Michigan cover-up of lead contamination in the water supply. As of today, July 5th, the federal government of the United States is nothing more than an occupying enemy force that has seized control of the political apparatus, in gross violation of the fundamental tenants of law and justice upon which America was founded. Those who now sit in Washington and dish out selective prosecutions against some people while granting prosecutorial immunity against others are enemies of justice and enemies of the People. They have abandoned the rule of law, and in doing so, they have effectively stated that all the prosecutorial power of the state will be brought solely against those who oppose the regime currently in power. America, in other words, has just become a banana republic. And like every banana republic, the economy is built on the endless printing of new debt, while the dictatorial control of the political elite is accomplished by stripping away all gun rights from the citizens to make sure the criminal government regime has a complete monopoly on firepower. America is now moving into a "rule by gunpoint" phase of history. All the laws being written and passed by federal lawmakers today are meant only to consolidate power and control into the hands of the Washington elite. There are no longer any laws that intentionally represent the interests of the people. All laws are now written by corporations or lobbyists, and passed by bribed politicians who now systematically and routinely violate the very people they once claimed to represent. The federal government, in essence, now exists solely to grow its size, power and control at any cost. It is now a runaway criminal entity... a cancer on society... and it will never stop expanding its reach until it controls every aspect of the economy, the population and even the private lives of every citizen. This cancer must be stopped, or the nation will die. Checks and balances have been abandoned... it's all one grand criminal regime occupying Washington Effectively, all three branches of government have now been totally corrupted: Legislative, judicial and executive. There are no longer checks and balances in the United States government. It's all one grand criminal cabal of political elitists who see themselves as above the law. Those who sit in the high court -- the Supreme Court Justices -- also now ignore the law at every opportunity, abandoning the written word and effectively writing new law to push a political agenda that further emboldens the power and reach of the federal government. Keep in mind that the Washington cabal of criminal politicians and government miscreants has already seized nearly 50% of the land across the western states of America (click here to see the map), labeling it "public land" when it actually means it's land controlled by the corrupt federal government. What's left for the people of America? An ever-shrinking quantity of inferior, private lands which have now been largely contaminated by EPA-approved toxic pesticides and herbicide chemicals. What's really unfolding in America is a Hunger Games scenario where the political elite in Washington rule over the starving, impoverished masses who are denied land, power and even a means of self-defense. Just as in the Hunger Games, America's media is also little more than state-run propaganda parading around as media. Over the last year, the mainstream media has systematically covered up every crime of Hillary Clinton while directing nearly 100% of its staff resources toward slandering Donald Trump. The result is that very few Americans have any clue about the criminality and corruption of the Clintons. And this November, tens of millions of Americans will vote out of sheer ignorance, having no knowledge of reality. This is the very last chance to save America from absolute totalitarianism Hillary Clinton is a Mosanto operative, a mandatory vaccine pusher, a corrupt friend of the banksters, a war criminal, a chronic liar and the leader of the Clinton-era efforts to verbally abuse, threaten and intimidate the many rape victims of Bill. That she is even still in the race for president tells you everything you need to know about the absolute corruption of the media, the political establishment and now even the FBI. Now, we are living under the oppressive thumb of not just an occupied federal government that sees the People as the enemy, but also an occupied, staged media that believes its primary purpose is to put Hillary Clinton into the White House, no matter how many lies have to be told in the process by the Huffington Post, Washington Post, New York Times, etc. Now in America, any person who opposes this war criminal Clinton from becoming president is maligned as "bigoted" or "sexist" in exactly the same way that any person who opposed any policy of Obama was decried as "racist." The democrats now emerge as the most intolerant, irrational and cognitively insane political party America has ever seen in her history, screaming "bigots!" while demanding absolute obedience to its own twisted agenda of placing an evil, corrupted and mentally dangerous woman into the White House (while crushing the voices of Bernie Sanders supporters through systematic corruption and oppression). This election may be the very last chance to save America from descending into a totalitarian police state run by the Clinton criminals. I urge every Natural News reader to vote against Hillary the criminal and send a message to Washington: We will not suffer under your political totalitarianism and selective immunity from law. We the People demand that all laws be applied equally to all people. We demand that our President not be a liar, a serial abuser of women and a deeply corrupted political operative who has already sold out the White House to foreign interests. This decision by the FBI is your final call to stand up and demand that We the People take back our country from the criminal politicians. It's time to clean house in Washington and fire entire agencies like the EPA, which has devolved into a corrupt, anti-science, political cover organization pushing the mass poisoning of our nation with herbicide chemicals and biosludge. This November, send a strong message to Washington that we are tired of being lied to, trampled on, intimidated and abused by Washington. The corrupt class of today's political elite must go! And in their place, we must restore the rule of law across America by prosecuting people like Hillary Clinton for their serial crimes against the people of this nation.

Huma: Hillary Flouted Protocol, Used Burn Bags To Destroy Documents Prohibited By Federal Regs

Abedin also admitted to being “aware of [her] obligation not to delete federal records or destroy federal records.”

Daily Caller - July 5, 2016

Huma Abedin, a top aide to presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, says that the former secretary of state routinely used burn bags to dispose of personal documents during her time at the State Department. Abedin’s revelation came when she was deposed by watchdog group Judicial Watch on June 30. “If there was a schedule that was created, that was her Secretary of State daily schedule, and a copy of that was then put in the burn bag, then that certainly happened,” Abedin stated. “On more than one occasion.” Abedin also admitted to being “aware of [her] obligation not to delete federal records or destroy federal records.” The State Department has clear regulations pertaining to the use of “burn bags,” and while government officials are directed to use them to dispose of both “paper” and “hardrives,” the government strictly prohibits several items — including “personal documents” — from being destroyed in burn bags.

You Owe Them Nothing - Not Respect, Not Loyalty, Not Obedience

Kurt Schlichter Posted: Jul 04, 2016 12:01 AM

Sometimes in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another. It is high time to declare our personal independence from any remnant of obligation to those who have spit upon the rule of law. We owe them nothing - not respect, not loyalty, not obedience. Think about it. If you are out driving at 3 a.m., do you stop at a stop sign when there’s no one coming? Of course you do. You don’t need a cop to be there to make you stop. You do it voluntarily because this is America and America is a country where obeying the law is the right thing to do because the law was justly made and is justly applied. Or it used to be. The law mattered. It applied equally to everyone. We demanded that it did, all of us – politicians, the media, and regular citizens. Oh, there were mistakes and miscarriages of justice but they weren’t common and they weren’t celebrated – they were universally reviled. And, more importantly, they weren’t part and parcel of the ideology of one particular party. There was once a time where you could imagine a Democrat scandal where the media actually called for the head of the Democrat instead of deploying to cover it up. People assumed that the law mattered, that the same rules applied to everyone. That duly enacted laws would be enforced equally until repealed. That the Constitution set the foundation and that its guarantees would be honored even if we disliked the result in a particular case. But that’s not our country today. CARTOONS | Steve Breen View Cartoon The idea of the rule of law today is a lie. There is no law. There is no justice. There are only lies. Hillary Clinton is manifestly guilty of multiple felonies. Her fans deny it half-heartedly, but mostly out of habit – in the end, it’s fine with them if she’s a felon. They don’t care. It’s just some law. What’s the big deal? It doesn’t matter that anyone else would be in jail right now for doing a fraction of what she did. But the law is not important. Justice is not important. The attorney general secretly canoodles with the husband of the subject of criminal investigation by her own department and the president, the enforcer of our laws, shrugs. The media, the challenger of the powerful, smirks. They rub our noses in their contempt for the law. And by doing so, demonstrate their contempt for us. Only power matters, and Hillary stands ready to accumulate more power on their behalf so their oaths, their alleged principles, their duty to the country – all of it goes out the window. But it’s much worse than just one scandal that seems not to scandalize anyone in the elite. Just read the Declaration of Independence – it’s almost like those dead white Christian male proto-NRA members foresaw and cataloged the myriad oppressions of liberalism’s current junior varsity tyranny. There is one law for them, and another for us. Sanctuary cities? Obama’s immigration orders? If you conservatives can play by the rules and pass your laws, then we liberals will just not enforce them. You don’t get the benefit of the laws you like. We get the benefit of the ones we do, though. Not you. Too bad, rubes. So if you are still obeying the law when you don’t absolutely have to, when there isn’t some government enforcer with a gun lurking right there to make you, aren’t you kind of a sucker? Don’t you feel foolish, like you’re the only one who didn’t get the memo that it’s every man/woman/non-binary entity for his/her/its self? Who is standing against this? Not the judges. The Constitution? Meh. Why should their personal agendas be constrained by some sort of foundational document? Judges find rights that don’t appear in the text and gut ones that do. Just ask a married gay guy in Los Angeles who can’t carry a concealed weapons to protect himself from [OMITTED] radicals. The politicians won’t stand against this. The Democrats support allowing the government to jail people for criticizing politicians and clamor to take away citizens’ rights merely because some government flunky has put their name on a list. Their “minority report” on Benghazi is an attack on Trump, and to them the idea of congressional oversight of a Democrat official whose incompetence put four Americans in the ground is not merely illegitimate; it’s a joke. Is the media standing against this, those sainted watchdogs protecting us from the powerful? Don’t make me laugh. What do these moral abortions have in common? Short term political gain over principle. These people are so used to the good life that a society’s reflexive reliance on the principle of the rule of law brings that they think they can undermine it with impunity. Oh it’s no big deal if we do this, they reason. Everyone else will keep playing by the rules, right? Everything will be fine even as we score in the short term. The Romans had principles for a while. Then they got tempted to abandon principle for – wait for it – short term political gain. Then they got Caesar. Then the emperors. Then the barbarians. And then the Dark Ages. But hey, we’re much smarter and more sophisticated than the Romans, who were so dumb they didn’t even know that gender is a matter of choice. Our civilization is permanent and indestructible – it’s not like we are threatened by barbarians who want to come massacre us. Oh, wait. The last words of some of these people to their radical Muslim killers before they are beheaded will be, “Please remember me as not being Islamaphobic! And sorry about the Crusades!” There used to be a social contract requiring that our government treat us all equally within the scope of the Constitution and defend us, and in return we would recognize the legitimacy of its laws and defend it when in need. But that contract has been breached. We are not all equal before the law. Our constitutional rights are not being upheld. We are not being defended – hell, we normals get blamed every time some Seventh Century savage goes on a kill spree. Yet we’re still supposed to keep going along as if everything is cool, obeying the law, subsidizing the elite with our taxes, taking their abuse. We’ve been evicted by the landlord but he still wants us to pay him rent. Now it seems we actually have a new social contract – do what we say and don’t resist, and in return we’ll abuse you, lie about you, take your money, and look down upon you in contempt. What a bargain! It’s not a social contract anymore – American society today is a suicide pact we never agreed to and yet we’re expected to go first. I say “No.” We owe them nothing - not respect, not loyalty, not obedience. Nothing. We make it easy for them by going along. We make it simple by defaulting to the old rules. But there are no rules anymore, certainly none that morally bind us once we are outside the presence of some government worker with a gun to force our compliance. There is only will and power and we must rediscover our own. If there is no cop sitting right there, then there is nothing to make you stop at that stop sign tonight. They don’t realize that by rejecting the rule of law, they have set us free. We are independent. We owe them nothing - not respect, not loyalty, not obedience. But with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we will still mutually pledge those who have earned our loyalty with their adherence to the rule of law, our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

Trump’s June donations prove Hillary backers wrong again

By Post Editorial Board

Guess who’s raising money — and from small donors: That’s right, Donald Trump. The GOP presidential wannabe raked in $51 million in June, his campaign said Wednesday. It came from 400,000-plus donors — with more than half from Trump’s digital and small-donation efforts. The ironies are rich: For starters, Hillary Clinton’s backers gloat about her wide cash lead, suggesting it reflects Trump’s poor organizational skills and his lack of popularity, compared to hers. Oops. Notably, she and her party rounded up just $68.5 million in June, not much more than Trump’s haul. And remember, Hillary began hitting up donors 15 months ago; Trump started barely five weeks ago. More ironic: “Progressives” (i.e., Hillary backers) bray about the need to “get money out of politics,” yet lately have bragged about the enormous cash Clinton has on hand to “influence” the election. True, given her early start, Hillary’s pulled in more than a quarter of a billion bucks so far. But shouldn’t her backers be outraged by that, rather than proud? From the start, Trump has dashed expectations. Many thought he wouldn’t run for president, that he’d lose if he did and, more recently, that he couldn’t raise money. He’s proved them wrong repeatedly. He’s also shown that cash and resources aren’t always the deciding factor: “I had fewer people than anybody in the primaries, and I spent less money,” he said at a meeting with The Post Wednesday. Yet he won more votes than his competitors. The key, he says, is to spend wisely, to get more bang for the buck. It’s certainly a good philosophy for a government nearly $20 trillion in the hole. Democrats like Hillary, by contrast, never stop thinking of ways to spend more — and wind up getting less. Even before the conventions have crowned their nominees, the contrast is starting to become apparent.

French Citizens Rise Up In Their Millions To Protest Ruling Elite

Protests being ignored by many mainstream media channels

By: Jacky Murphy |@NeonNettle on 1st July 2016 @ 2.47pm

France is in chaos once again as thousands of protesters swarm the streets in their millions in protest against the ruling class who they say are taking away their rights. The scale of the events is being watered down by the mainstream media in an attempt to suppress andy scale or dominio effect of other countries around the world. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO YNW reports: protestors are rising up in their millions against a ruling class determined to take away their rights. There is anarchy on the streets of France as the mainstream media continues to suppress the scale of events. Thousands of masked protesters and police fought running street battles in France this week, with police using water cannon to quell rioters who hurled projectiles at them and destroyed storefronts, joining the millions of French citizens who have protested against new anti-worker laws that are designed to protect and enrich a wealthy elite at the expense of ordinary people. The protesters in Paris represent all working class people united, mobilized, and resisting the greed of globalist elites. Police involved are violently fighting against the people and protecting the interests of the ruling class. However as the government, police and mainstream media continue to suppress this important movement’s progress, the people continue to rise up. Western mainstream media continues to suppress information regarding the scale and intensity of the revolution taking place on French streets. While the world distracted by the Euro 2016 football championships in France, the elites are taking away people’s rights and blood is being shed on the streets. Here is anarchy in the streets and the police are having trouble keeping pace. They have begged the protestors to stop the relentless protests, complained of exhaustion, and have even held their own protest against ‘the brutality of the protestors’ – that resulted in a police car getting torched. The government have also tried to make protesting illegal, while they attempt to push the new laws through the lower house without a vote using a constitutional manoeuvre. With the two chambers unlikely to agree a final version, the lower house will have the final say, and the government is expected to use the same manoeuvre to pass the bill into law without a vote. According to an opinion poll published on Tuesday, 73 percent of the French would be “shocked and appalled” by such a move. The new law is referred to by the name of the Minister of Labour Myriam El Khomri, and was first presented by her in February, sparking a series of relentless protests that show no sign of stopping. The El Khomri legislation was introduced in its original French as the “draft legislation aimed at implementing new freedoms and protections for businesses and workers.” To refer to this law as a new freedom or protection for workers is laughable, and is really a kick in the face for the people. What the law really does is expand protections and freedoms for the wealthy elite and no one else. The protests began on March 9 with the movement being called “Nuit debut,” translated roughly as “standing up all night.” The French ruling class is trying keep control through the police baton in order to keep the masses down. The El Khomri bill essentially boils down to stripping people of their rights and giving more control to the elites. The French job market reform is outrageous for a country struggling with a high unemployment rate of 10 percent and a stagnant economy. Although the movement is centered primarily around the job market reform bill, there are much broader concerns involved, such as: universal basic income, opposition to the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), amnesty for undocumented workers, solidarity with refugees, and the gender pay gap. France’s mobilized collective are on a progressive mission to create another world to realize social justice and demand dignity for ordinary people. President Hollande and Prime Minister Manual Valls say they will not listen to the millions of protesters or the massive majority of citizens who disapprove of the law. Since the French protests began attempts have been made to hinder their cause. Every measure to dismiss the protesters has been attempted; everything from police teargas to the Prime Minister Valls portraying protestors as “rioters” and “ultra-violent youths.” French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve had the gall to tell protesters “to find within themselves a little humanity, tolerance and respect. “ Even the police have tried to garner sympathy away from protesters when they claimed they were too “exhausted” to deal with continued protests. French leaders have threatened a ban on protests, with even tougher crackdowns by police, after Valls claimed that the protesters were out “to kill a police officer.” The threatened ban by the French government on demonstrations was reverted on June 22 after falling under harsh criticism and backlash.

Stephen Hawking: Governments are engaged in an AI arms race that could destroy humanity

English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, author and Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology within the University of Cambridge, Stephen Hawking went on the Larry King show. He was less than optimistic about the future of humanity. Six years ago, Hawking was on the King show and said, “Mankind is in danger of destroying ourselves by our greed and stupidity.” When asked if he thought humanity has changed since their last visit, Hawking replied, “We have certainly not become less greedy or less stupid.” In summarizing the last six years, Stephen Hawking said, “Six years ago, I was warning about pollution and overcrowding; they have gotten worse since then.” Hawking’s faith in humanity is apparently dwindling as the theoretical physicist predicted little more than doom and gloom. “The population has grown by half a billion since our last interview, with no end in sight. At this rate, it will be eleven billion by 2100. Air pollution has increased by 8 percent over the past five years. More than 80 percent of inhabitants of urban areas are exposed to unsafe levels of air pollution,” he said. Hawking says that addressing pollution is a major concern, but we’ve yet to do so. “The increase in air pollution and the emission of increasing levels of carbon dioxide. Will we be too late to avoid dangerous levels of global warming?” he said. If humans don’t kill themselves with pollutions, according to Hawking, it will be the robots that do us in. When King asked Hawking about the dangers of artificial intelligence (AI), Hawking explained that when government is involved in technological evolution, the outlook is bleak. “Governments seem to be engaged in an AI arms race, designing planes and weapons with intelligent technologies. The funding for projects directly beneficial to the human race, such as improved medical screening seems a somewhat lower priority.” When King asked Hawking about his views on Ray Kurzweil’s theory of the singularity, Hawking shot it down as “too optimistic.” Word of the day: Prepare! And do it the old fashion way, like our fore-fathers did it and succeed long before us, because what lies ahead of us will require all the help we can get. Watch this video and learn the 3 skills that ensured our ancestors survival in hard times of famine and war. “I think that his views are both too simplistic and too optimistic. Exponential growth will not continue to accelerate, something we don’t predict will interrupt it as has happened with similar forecasts in the past,” he said. As he continued, Hawking alluded to the fears that some people hold about AI wiping humanity from the earth because of having differing goals. Hawking said. “Once machines reach the critical stage of being able to evolve themselves, we cannot predict whether their goals will be the same as ours.” King goes on to ask Hawking, “Will artificial intelligence ever go on to render human society obsolete?” “Artificial intelligence has the potential to evolve faster than the human race. Beneficially AI could co-exist with humans and augment our capabilities. But a rogue AI could be difficult to stop.” After claiming humans are stupid, greedy, and AI will destroy the world, Hawking noted that it is still important to pursue the cause of AI as it will be highly beneficial to humans in the future.

To Serve In The Military Today Means To Swear An Oath To Destroy America And Serve The Global Elite

July 5, 2016

A few days ago, I watched as Secretary of Defense Carter gave “a major announcement” that transgender people will now be allowed to openly serve in the military. As absurd as this should appear to a rational human, this was their “big” announcement. I admit that I thought for a second this was going to actually be something legitimate the Department of Defense (DoD) was going to unveil like how to win the wars we have been fighting for over a decade and a half. Rather than waste your time like Secretary Carter, I am going to get right to the important point. The military is more concerned with pushing radical political agendas and creating special socially divisive rights for the Democrat’s electoral base than fighting and winning wars. The only way to fix this problem is to utterly abandon the institution. Whether or not you took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, this is the time to start drawing lines. Fortunately, this doesn’t require anything beyond quite literally doing nothing. The “most powerful military in the world” can literally be destroyed without firing a shot. To reign in and stop the DoD we must starve it of human and financial capital until such time that it begs for our return on our terms. My thesis argument is that only by utterly rejecting the military establishment by not serving or funding it can we fix it. To establish a baseline, the DoD no longer serves the interests of the nation we collectively “knew.” It is purely the tool of the elite special interests. Defense contractors use never ending war as a way to perpetually rob the citizens by creating threats and fear that must be answered by an ever growing defense budget. Financial institutions are making billions off of the interest on the debt our nation accumulates paying for needless wars. Other globalists to include the petroleum and fruit industries have historically leveraged the military to force countries to concede to their business interests, which only fuels hostilities toward the US. Still others such as the Saudi and Israeli lobbies use huge campaign donations to buy politicians that will use our men, money, and blood to fight their foreign wars, which makes their foreign problems our domestic ones. Finally, we have a political class that sees insecurity and persistent threats as a way to seize more power while convincing the public to voluntarily give up their Rights for the hollow promises of “security.” In fact, the more attacks and threats, the more power and money these politicians can seize from a brainwashed and apathetic public. Specific to the current Administration, the never ending “War on Terror” has given unprecedented ability to President Obama to implement his radical leftist agenda, which is hell bent on destroying the US and our way of life. Obama, more than any of his predecessors has politicized the military to the detriment of America and it will not cease unless a hard line is drawn. We must resist this de facto coup of our government by what amounts to leftist extremists from within the government. You will notice that at no point in the paragraph above did I ever mention the DoD and our military serving the interests of “our” citizens. To be clear, the US military is being used against our citizens. The “War on Terror” would more aptly be named the “War on American Civil Liberties.” The US military has been more effective than any foreign military at destroying our nation. We are financially bankrupt from trillions in military spending and now beholden to the banks and foreign nations that hold our debt. We have lost our Constitutional Rights and now live under a soft tyranny where the rule of law is flagrantly ignored by elites. We have had to suffer the forced importation of millions of people from countries we are at war with, which do not share our nation’s values and would be better called a self-imposed hostile invasion. Our tax dollars are being spent by the billions funding a very rich defense industry (thanks to a never ending gravy train of tax dollars from Congress) to establish a police state of unprecedented proportions to control, not protect you. Any service or support to the DoD and military only serves to further bolster the very entities that seek to destroy you and your way of life. If you feel nostalgic and fear leaving or not serving would be detrimental to the US, remember, the military has failed to decisively win a war since 1945. Our “most powerful military in the world” has not only failed to defeat radical Islam, it has probably done more to arm, train, equip, and fund them than any other institution outside of the Saudi government. This has led to the deaths of thousands of Americans both domestic and abroad. These brave and honorably Americans died in vain. Even more disturbingly, their deaths were used to further an agenda quite different than what nearly every one of those good people swore and oath to defend. Now you may say that this isn’t the military’s fault and that it is the political class to blame and you wouldn’t be totally wrong. However, I ask you what has the military done to stop this takeover? Has there been a mass resignation of generals in protest over our strategic policies? Has the officer corps come out en masse and provided better plans to defeat radical Islam and end our wars decisively? Where are the military members testifying in front of Congress that the budget must be cut and strategy changed? The facts are the military has done nothing to prevent itself from becoming the blunt fist of the conspirators motivated by greed, power, and radical ideologies. If you have read this far you either agree or are really angry. Irrespective of what you feel, you really have only two options. If you like the situation, then by all means, join up and go get wounded or killed for your enlightened leaders you incorrectly believe give a damn about you. In fact, if you take exception with my arguments, then please go and join the military. I dare you, but the truth is those of you that take issue with my points were never the ones that were going to serve anyhow. You were always the ones too “important” to risk your life, but had no issue allowing others to do your dirty work. You are the hypocrite and problem. In truth, just like most people, I honestly could care less about one’s sex life. The perpetual fixation upon a service member’s sexuality is bordering on mental illness by our senior government officials. However, it is the politicization of the military and the focus on radical ideological agendas vice defending our nation and winning wars that is the problem. It is no wonder that the Taliban, the weakest enemy the US has ever qualitatively or quantitatively faced in its history, has defeated the US military on the ground in Afghanistan. This should concern you deeply because the factors that led to our defeats in Afghanistan and Iraq persist to this day and will prove catastrophic given enough time to rot the military to the core. As for the rest of you that agree, your choice is simple. Refuse to serve. If you are in, get out as soon as possible. If you aren’t in the military, don’t ever join the military or work for any of its supporting industries. Respective of funding the DoD, pay only what you absolutely must in taxes and raise hell with your elected leaders every time they even think of increasing the defense budget. Even better, leave this country and work overseas for a foreign country so next to none of your earnings find their way into the pockets of the same people trying to destroy you. Unlike your “leaders,” I actually care about you and our nation, but you ultimately have to choose who you are going to believe. One is a politician and the other served side by side with you in war. Your choice should be simple. If you are not convinced, let me go further. The military and our government have repeatedly demonstrated nothing but utter contempt for the bulk of our fighting forces, which are comprised of white, male, heterosexual Christians that represent the last bastion of masculinity. They care nothing for their death or injury as Hillary Clinton clearly demonstrated when she blatantly lied to the mother of the dead GRS operator in Benghazi as his body was taken off the plane at Joint Base Andrews. Fact, the government “leadership” despises the people that constitute the backbone of our military and nearly all of our elite forces, but has no problem sending us out to die to forward their agendas. It is time you wake the hell up and realize you are a pawn that is getting used and refuse them a single ounce of your service going forward. This goes for everyone else that isn’t “white” too because you are getting screwed just as bad if not worse. Remember, it was the military and the government that had no issue giving blacks syphilis and interning Japanese. If you trust these same people now, you are naïve at best. Living without power, cars, electronics or running water may seem like a nightmare scenario but to pioneers it was just the way life was. HAVING THE SKILLS TO SURVIVE WITHOUT MODERN CONVENIENCES is not only smart in case SHTF, it’s also great for the environment. Keep in mind that the key to a successful homestead does not only lie on being able to grow your own food but on other skills as well. LEARNING THESE SKILLS will take time, patience and perseverance, and not all of these skills are applicable to certain situations. Hopefully, though, you managed to pick up some great ideas that will inspire you and get you started! Just like our forefathers used to do, THE LOST WAYS Book teaches you how you can survive in the worst-case scenario with the minimum resources available. It comes as a step-by-step guide accompanied by pictures and teaches you how to use basic ingredients to make super-food for your loved ones. If the government and the public want gays, transgender, and female fighters so bad, than give them exactly what they want and nothing more. Let’s see how many of them actually enlist and how well they fight without the heterosexual male whipping boy shouldering the gunfights. Let their hand-picked special interest groups shoulder the burden and fight the wars. Let them die for the stupid causes and corrupt leaders they vote to support. Let them deploy repeatedly to fight wars their incompetent elites refuse to allow us to fight and win. Let the “leaders” that know better figure out how to force their agenda with a military of just women, gays, and transvestites so thin skinned they can’t even take a joke without filing a lawsuit. Even better, when they can’t recruit even 1000th of the forces needed, let them institute a draft so that all of these people too good to serve, but quick to condemn and vote Democrat get their chance to dodge IEDs. It would the healthiest exercise yet for “America.” Liberals want to redistribute the wealth so let’s redistribute the responsibility just as they demand to their special interests…all of it! If you have any sense of integrity and honor you will uphold your oath and not allow the military to operate one day longer in its current state. For those unwilling, too brainwashed, or in the enemy’s camp, you get the leadership and fate you picked and deserve. In conclusion, continued service or any future service in the military constitutes a suicidal action. The oath you took to the Constitution demands you refuse further service to a military destroying the very fundamental rights you swore to defend. Service to the military today only helps to destroy our nation, our freedoms, and our way of life. The DoD and military industrial complex exclusively serve the interests of the global elite. If the special interests want to serve so bad, let them. When they utterly fail they will demand our return. Laugh in their faces and walk away until they completely and totally surrendered and a healthy balance of power is reestablished. We will only come back on our terms, with our leaders, and fight the way we see fit. Outside of that, we sit back like Bill Clinton and watch the “suckers” die for their country. I know this is a dense article, but it is one of the most important messages I have delivered. I have long since voted my conscience and resigned my commission, but without broad support, you are doomed. Please spread the word and save the lives of the good men and women serving today. The seriousness of the subject today has moved me to make one more final plea to those currently serving or thinking of serving. Please don’t. Please. You will only be serving the interests of those intent on destroying you, your family, and your nation. Whether a conceited statement or not, I sit on knowledge, experience, and intelligence you simply don’t have. Mark my words…those of you that continue to serve will soon be sent to a far more hostile and completely unnecessary war engineered by elites that will end the lives of hundreds of thousands in the US military. This isn’t a forecast, it is a certainty. Get out before they quite literally kill you when the reset the global order.

China says wants peace after paper warns on South China Sea clash

WorldJul 05, 2016 05:37PM ET By Ben Blanchard and Megha Rajagopalan

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's government sought to downplay fears of conflict in the South China Sea after an influential state-run newspaper said on Tuesday that Beijing should prepare for military confrontation. Editorials in the Global Times newspaper ahead of a July 12 international court ruling on competing claims in the South China Sea by China and the Philippines said the dispute had already been complicated by U.S. intervention. It faced further escalation due to the threat posed by The Hague-based tribunal to China's sovereignty, the paper said. "Washington has deployed two carrier battle groups around the South China Sea, and it wants to send a signal by flexing its muscles: As the biggest powerhouse in the region, it awaits China's obedience," the Global Times said. The paper said China should speed up development of its military deterrence. While it could not keep up with the United States in the short-term, "it should be able to let the U.S. pay a cost it cannot stand if it intervenes in the South China Sea dispute by force," the paper said. "China hopes disputes can be resolved by talks, but it must be prepared for any military confrontation. This is common sense in international relations." Asked about the editorials and whether conflict could break out in the South China Sea, where China's territorial claims overlap in parts with Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Beijing was committed to peace. "China will work with ASEAN countries to safeguard the peace and stability of the South China Sea," he told a news briefing, referring to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. "As for the relevant dispute, China does not accept any decision imposed by a third party as a means of resolution, nor any solution plan that is forced upon China." NATIONALIST VIEWS The Global Times is published by the ruling Communist Party's official People's Daily, and while it is widely read in policy-making circles it does not have the same mouthpiece function as its parent and its editorials cannot be viewed as representing government policy. It is also well-known for its extreme nationalist views. In Washington on Tuesday, a former top Chinese official said China would not resort to force "unless challenged by armed provocation," but had had enough of Western "bullying." Dai Bingguo, Beijing's former state councillor, dismissed the court ruling as "nothing more than a piece of paper," but said there was an "urgent priority" to stop the case. "No country" should try to force China to implement it "otherwise China will not sit idle," he said at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace think tank, adding that if Washington was committed to peace, it should "oppose or restrain provocations by certain countries against China." Dai said China would not be intimidated even if Washington sent 10 carriers to the South China Sea, but warned that Washington "may be dragged into trouble against its own will and pay an unexpectedly heavy price." Regarding the Global Times comments, Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook told a regular briefing the United States did "not seek any confrontation with China" but would maintain its "stabilizing" presence in the region. "We’ve pointed to the diplomatic route for resolving these issues...they should be resolved peacefully," he said adding the ruling from the Hague would provide an opportunity for this. China has been angered by U.S. patrols in the South China Sea and will be holding what the Defence Ministry terms "routine" military drills there from Tuesday. Manila has sought to reduce tensions ahead of the court decision but has resisted pressure to ignore it. "Nobody wants a conflict, nobody wants to resolve our conflict in a violent manner, nobody wants war,” Philippines Foreign Minister Perfecto Yasay told ANC television. "The President would like to maintain stronger, better relationships with everybody, including China, including the United States, including Japan and all," Yasay said, referring to President Rodrigo Duterte, who was sworn in last week. Yasay said a "special envoy" was needed to help resolve the dispute with China. U.S. officials have expressed concern that the court ruling could prompt Beijing to declare an air defense identification zone over the South China Sea, one of the world's busiest trade routes, and boost its military capabilities there. China's response would "fully depend" on the Philippines, the China Daily said, citing unidentified sources. "There will be no incident at all if all related parties put aside the arbitration results," one said.

FDA Commissioner Sued For Hiding Data That Led To Deaths Of Over 5000 People

Former FDA commissioner, Margaret Hamburg, is the subject of a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. And the details are as grisly as the plaintiff’s allegations. Hamburg is being accused of using her position of power to gain approval for a dangerous antibiotic called Levaquin in order to help her husband’s hedge fund benefit financially. The hedge fund was deeply seeded with Johnson & Johnson, makers of Levaquin. According to The Daily Caller, “Both Alkermes and Johnson & Johnson stock value increased significantly during Hamburg’s tenure,…” The lawsuit opens with: “This Amended Complaint sets forth allegations that involve a conspiracy by Defendants, each and every one of them, to reap large financial returns by failing to disclose to Plaintiffs and the public at large the full extent of the devastating, life-threatening, and deadly effects of a highly dangerous pharmaceutical drug named Levaquin,…” And there is more. 5,000 people are said to have died as a direct result of this drug’s approval. Once confirmed as FDA Commissioner, Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg acted as the instrumentality that all Defendants used to perpetrate their conspiracy and racketeering enterprise by having her act illegally and outside the scope of her authority as FDA Commissioner to suppress material information to Plaintiffs and the public that Levaquin was inherently dangerous and in fact, deadly. Had this information been disclosed to Plaintiffs and the public at large, her and her husband’s financial gain and net worth would have plummeted, since Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg’s husband, Peter F. Brown, reaped and continues to reap huge financial gain as a result of Renaissance Technologies, L.L.C.’s holdings of Johnson & Johnson stock. To further this conspiracy, Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg, acting in concert with each and every Defendant, jointly and severally, appointed officials of Johnson & Johnson to key FDAAdvisory Committees and colluded with Johnson & Johnson and its officials and subsidiaries to suppress information about the dangerous and deadly effects of Levaquin. As a result, during Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg’s tenure as FDA Commissioner from 2009 to 2015, over 5,000 people died as a result of consuming Levaquin and other dangerous drugs promoted, manufactured, marketed, distributed and sold by Johnson & Johnson, suffered debilitating, life-threatening, and deadly illnesses and effects. This deadly harm is continuing as Plaintiffs and thousands of other people are suffering and dying from the highly dangerous effects of Levaquin. The lawsuit also alleges that Humburg gained her FDA seat through contributions to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. She apparently made large political donations to both and eventually found herself a seat with one of the top, most critical government agencies in the world, where she was then allowed to carry out her nefarious duties of approving drugs based on her husband’s hedge fund profile. Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg was nominated as a result of huge political and other gratuities to Hillary Clinton and The Clinton Foundation, and at Mrs. Clinton’s recommendation. During the confirmation process before Congress, Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg, acting in concert with her husband, Peter F. Brown and the other Defendants named in this Amended Complaint, at all material times the Co-CEO of a hedge fund named Renaissance Technologies, L.L.C., failed to disclose to Congress and other relevant authorities, her and her husband’s clear-cut conflict of interest – specifically, that Renaissance Technologies, L.L.C. held hundreds of millions of dollars of Johnson & Johnson stock, the manufacturer of the deadly drug, Levaquin. The side-effects of Levaquin have been well known for some time. In fact, the drug eventually was forced to have a Black Box label placed on it because so many people suffered debilitating side-effects after taking it.

Planned Parenthood Thanks Senate Dems For Choosing Abortion Over Anti-Zika Funding

by Dr. Susan Berry4 Jul 2016179 SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER

Planned Parenthood is thanking Senate Democrats for refusing to pass a Republican bill that would have provided $1.1 billion to fight the Zika virus but withheld additional funding for the abortion giant. “We are the front line of defense when it comes to battling Zika,” Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Executive Vice President Dawn Laguens said Thursday, criticizing Republicans, reports CNSNews. Laguens argued that the Zika bill proposed by the GOP “does not put the health of women and children first by making family planning and condoms as widely available as possible to prevent what is also a sexually transmitted disease.” She added that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) “is allowing his party to undermine the ability of family planning providers like Planned Parenthood to do what we do best in the midst of this rapidly spreading Zika virus, a public health crisis that directly targets women and children. This is shameful.” The Senate has three days this week, following the July 4 break, to pass the measure that would fund anti-Zika efforts. Otherwise, the issue will not be addressed until September, after the summer recess. As Breitbart News has reported, Planned Parenthood has been taking advantage of fears surrounding the Zika virus and the birth defect known as microcephaly that is linked with the virus. The abortion giant is particularly targeting Latin American countries that have restrictive abortion laws, in hopes of capitalizing on women’s fear and changing those laws. “It is beyond outrageous that Senate Democrats are blocking $1.1 billion in supplemental Zika funding because they are demanding an even bigger earmark for their political donors, Planned Parenthood,” Maureen Ferguson of The Catholic Association tells Breitbart News. “Half a billion taxpayer dollars annually already flow to Planned Parenthood, which runs the nations largest chain of abortion centers.” Ferguson adds: Its U.S. affiliates are eligible to compete for additional taxpayer dollars through the Zika prevention bill, yet they are demanding even more for their affiliates in Puerto Rico. Even worse, they are willing to hold hostage the $1.1 billion designated for hospitals, community health centers, and public health departments for Zika prevention, mosquito control, and vaccine development. Senate Democrats are standing shoulder to shoulder with their political allies, instead of pregnant women living in fear of the Zika virus. This is political cronyism at its worst. As Roll Call reports, President Barack Obama — a big supporter of Planned Parenthood — demanded Congress delay its summer recess in order to pass his $1.9 billion proposal to fight the Zika virus. “This is actually something that we could reduce the risks if Congress does the right thing and allocates the dollars that are needed right now to get it done,” Obama said. “The problem right now is the money is stuck in Congress and we have not seen the House and the Senate come together in a sensible [way] to put forward the dollars that we have requested … to get the job done. I expect Congress to get this funding done before they leave for vacation, before they adjourn. That’s part of their basic responsibility.”

'The Deadliest Mistake The West Has Ever Made' - Guillotines, FEMA Camps And Islam - Muslim Woman Issues Dire Warning To America

July 5, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

The absolutely shocking story over at Breitbart days ago contains some of the most graphic photos we've seen of the Islamic state beheading people accused of 'mocking Islam' and 'serving infidels'. While some call 'false flag' on everything, these photos are all too real. According to one Muslim woman, a victim of Islam, the West has made the deadliest mistake we've ever made by allowing widespread Islamic immigration into our once free country as heard in much more detail below. Whether we realize it or not, the complete overthrow of America and the West is well underway. A story published this past February from the Christian Examiner that got very little attention from the alternative media and practically no attention at all from the msm told us a tale that must be told, especially in this day and age we're now living in. Sharing with us that authorities within Iran's Customs Office for Transit Affairs had intercepted a cargo shipment bound for Islamic-state held territory that held 'multiple guillotines', the director-general of Iran's Customs told news agencies then that the devices were 'designed for efficiently carrying out executions by beheading'. Back in May of 2015 we told you that 'moderate' magazine the Atlantic had recently put out a call for the return of using the guillotine to carry out capital punishment in America. As we learn in this recent story from iPatriot and the 2nd video below, there are over 800 'FEMA camps' throughout the USA and they're allegedly staffed by guards from foreign nations and ready for when martial law is declared. According to this story from Sharia Unveiled, there are over 1,000 internment camps housing over 30,000 guillotines across America, purchased by the US government. It's been long warned they'll be used against Christians and others opposing an Islamic, 'new world order', totalitarian government. As we hear in this first video below, directly from a Muslim television host in Saudi Arabia, Muslims all across the world have been lied to for over 1400 years. If you only have time to watch one video today, we'd recommend strongly that you watch this one as he absolutely rips to shreds his former faith after reading the book 'The People vs Muhammad'. Calling out the leaders of his faith as 'deserving an eternity in hell' for preaching Islams lies and calling out Muhammad as a 'false prophet' and a homicidal murderer and psychopath that he undoubtedly was, we ask anyone out there who may still believe that Islam is a 'peaceful religion' to try to debunk this! Amazing! Interestingly, we've also read several more recent stories referencing the use of guillotines from websites we might not expect it, such as a Financial Times story discussing Brexit below where the author 'sarcastically' calls for guillotines to be used against those who voted Brexit out, almost like an ISIS terrorist. We also see that one of the biggest new movies of the summer, "The Purge: Election Year," prominently features guillotines. Recently ANP was sent an email by an individual who accused us of 'hating Muslims' and warned that because of that, 'bad things were going to happen to ANP'. I was someone who was taught to love everybody unless they give me a reason not to, such as a group of people who puts out a call for the deaths of anyone practicing my religion because I am not one of them. Seeing that some clueless sheeple still haven't come to the realization that Islam is NOT a religion but a TOTALITARIAN political system, we have to bring back a letter written by a Muslim woman who was tortured and nearly killed by Islam, a letter that should be a dire warning to anyone living in America and a stern warning to anyone who thinks Islam is 'only a peaceful religion that can coexist with others': "you're a useful idiot and you don't have a clue": Originally published in 2014 by an Egyptian woman who writes under the name Magda Borham. She writes, in part: Muslims are in your country, but they live not to integrate or to be part of your society or at least to be equal with others, but to dominate and to be the only privileged group. Muslims achieve this by turning you into a second-class citizen in your own country. They immigrate to your countries holding the same belief system that turned their lives into hell on Earth. This same belief, same religion made their lives unsupportable in their original societies. It is the same religion that transformed their countries into war zones of endless conflicts. Muslims now homeless want to apply this system and live and apply the same destruction in your own country. Muslims are not in your country to help build it or to make it prosper. Many believe this, including politicians. Muslims are in your country to drain its resources and to suck the blood out of society. Should Americans even be concerned about a possible Islamic takeover of America? Isn't just the thought such a 'far out conspiracy theory' that nobody in their right minds would think that such a possibility stands a chance of coming true? Maybe a better question might be, will the left ever awaken from their strange love affair with a political group that wants to slaughter them? Once again we hear from a Muslim woman who obviously knows much more about her religion than most Americans do. She also has a very stern warning for us in this age of 'political correctness' we're now living in and a warning for 'useful idiots' that email threats to ANP.: Muslims use your own democratic laws and values against you and they do it successfully while you keep sleeping as if as in a deep coma. This is why the leftists are the people who are worthy of the title "useful idiots." They are in a perpetual state of shame and self-loathing and will be the first victims of Islam once it takes over. ... Muslims use them as a stick to beat you with, but even they will never ever be accepted as friends to the Muslims after, and they will definitely be their first victims. Leftists, Liberals, progressives, Antifa, Code Pink etc. are all appeasers of Islam. Appeasing evil is cowardice. They are fooled people who feed crocodiles hoping they will eat them last. They are the enemy within your countries. Your country is like your house; you expect visitors who come to your house to respect you and respect your rules, not the opposite. Visitors must appreciate your kindness and your generosity for receiving them into your home and not imposing their own rules on you. This is your house, you own it, so you have the obligation to protect it and defend it. If the visitor doesn't like your rules, all he has to do is to leave. Nobody obliged him to visit you, and nobody will prevent him from leaving. As he came to your house by his own choice, he can leave your house freely or by force, if required. For more than 1,400 years, Islam has been protected from criticism. Nobody has dared to question this belief system lest to be condemned to death. Islam is surrounded by very high walls, and Muslims are not allowed to see beyond that wall. The idea of questioning Islam is unthinkable to Muslims, so they are unable to accept the fact there is some people start to break this wall and allow rays of lights to pass through. They are unable to bare the fact that Islam is beginning to be exposed like a nude person and people are snow seeing its true form As a reaction Muslims fight to shut mouths and to close everyone's eyes. A recent story from Financial Times after Brexit shows us the sentiments being felt by many of 'the young' who felt betrayed by 'the old' after 'wisdom and age' triumphed over 'youth and inexperience' in a story there called "Kill the Old, Redux?". The author, Kadhim Shubber, shares an enthusiasm for guillotines with the ISIS terrorists.: At FT Alphaville we’re certainly not averse to putting up a few guillotines here and there, divying up the population by age and, well, letting the wisdom of the crowd take its course. The underlying and obviously weak assumption underlying all of this is that Bad Old People sabotaged the country because… they don’t like their grandchildren? They’re so close to death they’ve ceased to care about anything? So, kill the olds, but do it for good reason.

A review of a new movie that just came out in theaters on July 1st tells us that 'The Purge: Election Year' was the best Purge movie yet. Telling us 'The Purge' series has 'morphed' from 'gratuitous torture porn' into a 'scathing, juvenalian satire about American life, culture, and politics' within this day and age we're now living in, 'The Purge' features Nazi mercenaries attempting to assassinate a US presidential candidate and axes, beheadings and guillotines. We're told that this series is no longer a 'functional satire hidden amdist a sea of blood and guts' but that 'the point is now more overt than ever'. With an ever clueless gang of millenials and SJW's growing more aggressive every day doing the work of 'useless idiots' for 'the left', we see the tyranny warned of unfolding before our very eyes. They're throwing it in our faces. We don't have time here to fall for political correctness when it's absolutely deadly. We'll close here with a final warning to America and the West from this Muslim woman who knows Islam well having been a victim of it. According to Borham, the West has made the deadliest mistake we've ever made by embracing Islamic immigration. Will the West be able to throw back the hands of time? She tells us that Islam is a greater threat than Nazism or any form of fascism. Will we listen to her or will her warnings fall on deaf ears as Americans fall ever deeper into a mindless stupor from which they may never awaken? No doubt, no doubt; the Islamic immigration is the deadliest mistake ever the west has ever made. Nobody else in the world knows Islam and the mentality of Muslims more than those who have suffered by having Islam as a part of their life. If you listen to the cries of the Copts of Egypt, the Christians of Syria, Iraq, Sudan, Pakistan and all the other Muslim countries you will hear the descriptions of the horrors of Islam. See and feel the tears of the minorities in every Islamic society. These tears will tell you the true stories of Islam. Hear the blood of the ex-Muslims pounding. It's their blood that is shouting out every single second asking the rest of the world to "Wake up!" Please listen to my voice, my cry. Please see and feel my tears. Listen to my blood pounding with my message. I am a surviving victim of Islam.

The True and Only Arbiter of Individual Rights

Everything you own is being divided up by banks and the government and you are not even in on the discussion. This is because you think it is your money, your property, your things. They understand the power structure, so they know that all of these things are theirs. Don't worry though, they will let you use them until they decide to take ownership. It will take some time. First, they have to convince you that you have no right to these things and that is taking place at present. People with rights are not concerned about the machinations of banks or governments, because they are in possession of their property and will defend such with their lives. They do not have "deeds of trust" they have titles to land. There is a very simple concept of ownership. If one buys a chain saw, let's say, it is theirs, they do not have to pay any more money in order to keep it. When one holds a "deed of trust" they must continually pay taxes in order to maintain possession of the property. That is not ownership, that is tenancy. All of these assaults on religious rights, rights to speech, rights to own firearms, rights to privacy have been orchestrated to teach Americans one valuable lesson: you do not have any rights. Once people understand that little fact, the elites can proceed to greater injustices and abuses. The sector of the population that needs to learn this lesson more than any other is the white section. Whites are the middle-class; they are the property owners; they are the gun owners and they must be convinced of their powerlessness and they must be ostracized so that they can look to no other sectors for support. This is why white children are being convinced that they are born racist, therefore not on equal standing with other races and ethnicities. They were born with a social demerit. They are flawed and not deserving of compassion. It doesn't seem to matter to the proponents of this tactic that racism is exactly what is being practiced against whites, or that the term "white" is not precise, it covers most of Europe, Scandinavia and Russia, but who cares, right? As long as the outcome is to drive home the message that you do not have any rights. Granted, maybe none of us ever had any rights at all, that it was all an illusion to provide calm and order while the government and power players prosecuted the game. It served them well to get people to work hard trying to build something, create industries, provide incomes to others who would use that money to drive an economy until it resulted in something to take, because initially there was just a wide open space where grass grew and buffalo roamed. It doesn't matter whether we actually did have rights, or whether we never had rights. The battleground is all in our minds. If we believe we have rights and we are willing to die to protect them, we have them whether the law says we do or not. These are natural rights, not government dispensed rights, or congress granted rights, or Supreme Court verified rights, they are rights even with all of these departments denying them. Acceptance of the Supreme Court as an arbiter of rights is as bad as acceptance that congress is an arbiter of rights. The Supreme Court has ruled erroneously almost consistently, otherwise, it would be logical to conclude that the Dred Scott decision was as valid as the Heller decision. The Supreme Court did not even have jurisdiction to rule in Marbury v Madison, from which it draws its power to be the arbiter of the Constitution this is a fact admitted by John Marshall in his memoirs. There is only one true arbiter of one's rights and that is oneself and it is enforced by oneself and the line is drawn by what one will do when those rights are threatened. This is why the government has decided to become antagonistic toward these rights and to see how far they can go before those arbiters of their rights will enforce them. The longer the people suffer in silence, the more the government will reinforce their message: You have no rights. Happy Independence Day!

DALLAS POLICE SHOOTING Suspect ID'd in shooting that left 5 Dallas officers dead, 7 officers injured

Friday, July 08, 2016 06:05PM

DALLAS, TX (KTRK) --

Dallas was in shock and beset by uncertainty early Friday after gunmen shot and killed five police officers and wounded seven during a peaceful protest over fatal police shootings of black men in other states, police said, in bloodshed evoking the trauma of the nation's tumultuous civil rights era. Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings says authorities believe 25-year-old suspect Micah Xavier Johnson killed five police officers and wounded seven others was the lone attacker and that the city is safe. "The suspect said he was upset about Black Lives Matter. He said he was upset about the recent shootings," Brown says. "The suspect said he was upset at white people. The suspect stated he wanted to kill white people and especially white officers." "The suspect stated (police officers) will eventually find the IEDs. The suspect stated he was not affiliated with any groups and he stated that he did this alone." "The suspect said he was upset about Black Lives Matter. He said he was upset about the recent shootings," Brown says. "The suspect said he was upset at white people. The suspect stated he wanted to kill white people and especially white officers." "The suspect stated (police officers) will eventually find the IEDs. The suspect stated he was not affiliated with any groups and he stated that he did this alone." "We don't exactly know the last moments of his death but explosives did blast him out," Rawlings told The Associated Press. He said police swept the area where the standoff took place and found no explosives. The shooting began about 8:45 p.m. Thursday while hundreds of people were gathered to protest the fatal police shootings in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and suburban St. Paul, Minnesota. Brown told reporters the snipers fired "ambush style" on the officers. A civilian was also wounded, Rawlings said. Video from a protestor as the shooting began. Jesus. Disturbing content. #Dallas #DallasPoliceShooting pic.twitter.com/yhPTI9KC2g — Andy Cole (@AndyCole84) July 8, 2016 Brown said it appeared the shooters "planned to injure and kill as many officers as they could." Video from the scene showed protesters marching along a downtown street about half a mile from City Hall when shots erupted and the crowd scattered, seeking cover. Dallas Area Rapid Transit has identified one of its officers, 43-year-old Brent Thompson, as being among the dead. DART says Thompson is the first officer killed in the line of duty since the agency's formation in 1989. It has been a devastating night. We are sad to report a fifth officer has died. — Dallas Police Depart (@DallasPD) July 8, 2016 DART also identified Officers Omar Cannon, 44; Misty McBride, 32; and Jesus Retana, 39, as injured. Officials say they are expected to recover from their injuries. "I think the biggest thing that we've had something like this is when JFK died," resident Jalisa Jackson downtown said early Friday as struggled to fathom the still-unsettled situation. Officers crouched beside vehicles, SWAT team armored vehicles arrived and a helicopter hovered overhead. On Friday afternoon, nearly a thousand mourners gathered in a downtown Dallas park for a prayer vigil to honor the officers lost the night before. Vigil speakers noted that many different races and faiths were represented at the event. Protests were held in several other U.S. cities Thursday night after a Minnesota officer on Wednesday fatally shot Philando Castile while he was in a car with a woman and a child, the shooting's aftermath livestreamed in a widely shared Facebook video. A day earlier, Alton Sterling was shot in Louisiana after being pinned to the pavement by two white officers. That, too, was captured on a cellphone video. Thursday's shootings occurred in area of hotels, restaurants, businesses and some residential apartments only a few blocks from Dealey Plaza, where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. The scene was chaotic, with officers with automatic rifles on the street corners. "Everyone just started running," Devante Odom, 21, told The Dallas Morning News. "We lost touch with two of our friends just trying to get out of there." #Dallas eyewitness: "Somebody's really armed to the teeth." https://t.co/ivSA3xsEql (@allisongriz/Twitter)https://t.co/uKeHkUjKBE  — Houston News (@abc13houston) July 8, 2016 Carlos Harris, who lives downtown, told the newspaper that the shooters "were strategic. It was tap, tap pause. Tap, tap pause," he said. Brown said police don't have a motivation for the attacks or any information on the suspects. He said they "triangulated" in the downtown area where the protesters were marching and had "some knowledge of the route" they would take. Video posted on social media appeared to show a gunman at ground level exchanging fire with a police officer who was then felled. Authorities have not determined whether any protesters were involved with or were complicit in the attack and were not certain early Friday that all suspects have been located, Brown said. Our thoughts and prayers are with @DallasPD. #Dallas #ThinBlueLine pic.twitter.com/cFGtnImTpg — FBCSO Texas (@FBCSO) July 8, 2016 Rawlings said at the news conference that authorities will likely ask some people to stay away from downtown Dallas on Friday. Rawlings said a map would be posted online showing an area where people should avoid on Friday. Early Friday morning, there were dozens of officers of the corridor of the ER at Baylor Medical Center, where other injured officers were taken. The mayor and police chief were seen arriving there. "Our hearts are broken," the statement said. Theresa Williams told The Associated Press that the injured civilian was her sister, 37-year-old Shetamia Taylor. Williams said her sister was at the protests Thursday night with her four sons, ages 12 to 17. When the shooting began, Taylor threw herself over her sons, Williams said. She was undergoing surgery early Friday after being shot in the right calf. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott released a statement saying he has directed the Texas Department of Public Safety director to offer "whatever assistance the City of Dallas needs at this time." "In times like this we must remember - and emphasize - the importance of uniting as Americans," Abbott said. Other protests across the U.S. on Thursday were peaceful. In midtown Manhattan, protesters first gathered in Union Square Park where they chanted "The people united, never be divided!" and "What do we want? Justice. When do we want it? Now!" In Minnesota, where Castile was shot, hundreds of protesters marched in the rain from a vigil to the governor's official residence. Protesters also marched in Atlanta, Chicago and Philadelphia. President Barack Obama said America is "horrified" over the shootings and there's no possible justification for the attacks. Speaking from Warsaw, Poland, where he was meeting with leaders of the European Union and attending a NATO summit, the president said justice will be done and he's asking all Americans to pray for the fallen officers and their families. He also said the nation should express its gratitude to those serving in law enforcement. Primary and secondary sweeps for explosives are complete and no explosives found. #dallasshooting — Maj. Max Geron (@MaxDPD) July 8, 2016 Three additional suspects are in custody, two of whom were apprehended after a chase down Route 67. Authorities are not yet sure that all suspects are accounted for. The scene is still active and is expected to remain so through Friday morning. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Escaping Death’s Shadow

By Hal Lindsey

It’s one of the most memorable verses from probably the most beloved Psalm. Perhaps you can recite the words from memory. “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.…” (Psalm 23:4 KJV) As a writer, I look at those words with astonishment. In just a few phrases, they convey some of the most compelling imagery ever put on paper. They project the sense of a dark valley, and the claustrophobia of knowing you have no escape. Shadows are ethereal, but they represent something solid, real, and close. The shadow’s shape replicates the thing that obscures the light. And when the shadow moves, it gives a sense of danger in the darkness. Some shapes can be especially scary — a man, a hand, a knife in a hand. In this case, the shadow’s shape is that of death itself. Death casts its shadow into all parts of our lives. From the moment you first realize you will one day die — a moment too early in life for most of us to remember — death casts its shadow over you. In that sense, we all walk in the valley of the shadow of death, and we walk there our entire lives. Sometimes the shadow of death looms larger and darker than usual. The doctor gives you bad news, or a loved one dies. We grieve for the one who is gone and for everyone who will miss that person. But our grieving often carries with it a sad remembrance of our own mortality. Death is normal, and we know it. Hebrews 2:15 says that the fear of death can be a lifelong form of slavery. Hebrews 9:27 calls death an appointment for every human being; an appointment to be followed by judgment. It begins to look as if the valley of the shadow of death is a box canyon. But at this point, the scripture tells us something amazing. Not everyone dies. The passages we often call “the begets” in the Bible, have a redundancy that causes most people to begin to scan for more interesting material. But that redundancy tells us something important. They usually follow this pattern. “Seth lived one hundred and five years, and begot Enosh. After he begot Enosh, Seth lived eight hundred and seven years, and had sons and daughters. So all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years; and he died.” (Genesis 5:6-8 NKJV) That’s how they end. “And he died.” The people of early Genesis lived amazingly long lives. But it didn’t matter in the end, because almost every beget ends with, “and he died.” That’s right. I said, “Almost.” They don’t all end that way. Hidden in the “the begets” is a man who broke the pattern. His name was Enoch. “So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.” (Genesis 5:23-24 NASB) He didn’t die. God just took him away. It was an anomaly, but a telling one. Something like it happened again later in the Old Testament. Instead of dying, the prophet Elijah “went up by a whirlwind to heaven.’” (2 Kings 2:11 NASB) Could these two biblical precedents hold any meaning for us? 1 Corinthians 15:51-53 in the New Living Translation says, “But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed. For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies.” This is a beautiful description of the Rapture of the Church. What wonderful news! “We will not all die!” Those who are in Christ at the time of the rapture will be snatched away with Him. But as we wait for that event, Christian believers die. In the words of King David, they “go the way of all the earth.” (1 Kings 2:2) Death looms before us. So how do we escape the fear of it? Go back to the 23rd Psalm. “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me.” There is a reason we should “fear no evil.” It’s because He is with us. He promises never to leave us nor forsake us. The LORD promises us that there is no reason to fear death and here is why, “For we know if this earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan earnestly desiring our habitation from heaven, if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by (eternal) life. Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the (Holy) Spirit as a guarantee. Therefore we are always confident that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the LORD. We are confident, yes, to be well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the LORD.” (1 Corinthians 5:1-8 NKJ) God is waiting to bring us home with Him. So let us have the same expectation as the Apostle Paul, “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” (Philippians 1:21 NKJ If we die before the Rapture, God gives us temporary clothing so we can be present with Him. He then raises us in the Rapture and gives us our immortal body. Praise the LORD ! Who’s afraid now? We have God’s eternal promise. And the Holy Spirit is His guarantee !

Not just Dallas: Attacks in 3 states target cops for 2 days in row

Published time: 8 Jul, 2016 16:34 Edited time: 9 Jul, 2016 04:14

The morning after five police officers were fatally shot in Dallas, Texas, police officers were ambushed and shot in the St. Louis suburb of Ballwin, Missouri and Valdosta, Georgia. Authorities in Tennessee said Thursday’s shooting also targeted cops. The officer wounded in Missouri was taken by ambulance to the Mercy Hospital emergency room, according to reporter Mike Colombo. He is in critical but stable condition, the Ballwin Police Department said Friday afternoon. The Ballwin police officer was walking back to his squad car when the suspect got out of his car and ambushed the officer with a firearm before fleeing the scene, an unidentified source told KSDK’s Jacob Long. Footage from the dashboard camera shows the officer was shot from behind, Ballwin PD chief told reporters. The officer was shot in the neck during a traffic stop, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Christine Byers reported. A weapon was recovered. Police described the suspect as a tall, thin African-American male wearing a gray T-shirt and blue jeans, and driving a blue Ford Taurus with Illinois temporary tags, according to KTVI. The suspect was arrested after a search of known residences associated with him, Long reported. The Ballwin officer is at least the second to have been shot in the US on Friday morning. An officer in Valdosta, Georgia was injured in an exchange of gunfire with a suspect. The officer was investigating a report of a damaged vehicle when a man opened fire, which the officer returned, police said. Both men were injured and are expected to survive. The suspect called 911 call to report a break-in, then ambushed and shot the officer, authorities clarified to AP on Friday afternoon. The Valdosta officer was shot “multiple times,” Police Chief Brian Childress said, as quoted by AP. "He is out of surgery now. His family is at the hospital. And I'm happy to report he's going to be fine," Childress said. "He's in stable condition but he's in the ICU as a precaution." One of the gunshots hit the man in the abdomen, just below his bulletproof vest, Georgia Bureau of Investigation spokesman Scott Dutton said. Other bullets hit the officer in his vest. LIVE UPDATES: Dallas protest turns violent, 5 officers dead There’s nothing to indicate the Valdosta shooting is related to the one in Dallas, Childress said, though he noted it is still early in the investigation. "You start to wonder. But any motive of why this happened this morning would be speculation," Childress said. In Texas, five police officers were killed and seven other cops and two civilians were injured by a gunman during a peaceful protest Thursday evening. The Valdosta officer was wearing a body camera, and its footage has been turned over the the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, the police chief said. The gunman who shot at cars on a Tennessee highway on Thursday morning was “troubled” by police shootings of African-Americans, and may have been targeting officers, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said Friday afternoon. Meanwhile, on Friday morning, police in Orlando, Florida received a “vague threat” that is being thoroughly investigated. The police department, still reeling from the aftermath of a massacre at a gay nightclub in the city that killed 49 people plus the shooter, would not give any details about the threat, citing security concerns.

10 More US States Sue Over Transgender Bathroom Guidelines

Megan Duzor July 08, 2016 6:30 PM

Another 10 U.S. states are suing the Obama administration over guidelines covering which school bathrooms transgender students can use. Friday's filing means nearly half of the 50 U.S. states are formally objecting to recent federal guidelines that recommend public schools allow students to use bathrooms corresponding to the gender with which they identify, instead of the gender listed on their birth certificates. Legal analysts said the latest development increases the likelihood that the gender dispute will wind up at the U.S. Supreme Court. The new lawsuit argues that the federal government circumvented established law in the recently issued guidelines. The complaint filed in federal court in Lincoln, Nebraska, says legislative history does not support an "interpretation of the term 'sex' as meaning anything other than one's sex as determined by anatomy and genetics." Nebraska, the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit, was joined by Arkansas, Kansas, Michigan, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota and Wyoming. They follow 12 other states that sued the federal government in May over the same Obama administration guidelines. The states argue that changes to federal school policies should be left up to Congress, not the White House. The Justice Department has rejected that argument, saying that federal civil-rights laws, which bar discrimination on the basis of sex, provide the legal foundation for the department's guidance. When announcing the guidelines in May, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said, "There is no room in our schools for discrimination." The Justice Department's guidelines are nonbinding, but school systems could lose millions of dollars in federal aid if they fail to follow them. The political battle over transgender bathrooms came into the spotlight earlier this year when city officials in Charlotte, North Carolina, passed an anti-discrimination ordinance including a provision allowing transgender people to use bathrooms corresponding to the gender with which they identify. State legislators in North Carolina overruled the city with a law requiring transgender people to use public restrooms matching the gender listed on their birth certificates. The statewide debate entered the national discussion when the U.S. Justice Department said the North Carolina state law violated the federal Civil Rights Act, and declared it could not be enforced. Both the Justice Department and North Carolina have sued each other over the issue.

Police say officers have been targeted in Missouri, Georgia and Tennessee

Posted 4:22 pm, July 8, 2016, by Associated Press, Updated at 07:17pm, July 8, 2016

Police say officers have been targeted in Tennessee, Georgia and Missouri in the aftermath of two high-profile killings of black men by law enforcement. The attack in Tennessee occurred hours before the killing of five police officers in Dallas on Thursday night during a protest. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says the attacker told authorities that he was frustrated by the recent killings by police of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota. Police have not disclosed a motive in Friday's attacks in Georgia and Missouri, which have been described as ambushes. In a fourth attack early Friday, a motorist fired at a police car as the officer drove by. In all, four officers were wounded. The officer wounded outside St. Louis is in critical but stable condition. The wounded officers are expected to survive. A suburban St. Louis police chief says a motorist shot an officer three times as the officer walked back to his car during a traffic stop. Ballwin Police Chief Kevin Scott said at a news conference Friday that the attack happened around 11 a.m. and was captured on video. St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar says the suspect, who is in his 30s, "ambushed" the officer, who is in critical but stable condition. His identity wasn't released. The shooting comes amid heightened tension following an attack in Dallas in which five police officers were killed and seven others and two civilians were wounded. Dallas police say the slain suspect in the killings of five police officers had bomb-making materials, ballistic vests, rifles, ammunition, and a personal journal of combat tactics at his home. They also say that people they interviewed have described 25-year-old Micah Johnson as a loner. The department also said in a statement Friday that detectives have interviewed more than 200 members of law enforcement and that "it appears at least 12 officers" fired their weapons when someone opened fired on police Thursday night. It happened during a demonstration to protest the recent killings of black men by police in Louisiana and Minnesota. Police killed Johnson using a robot-delivered bomb after negotiations failed. They say detectives are in the processing of analyzing the information contained in the journal.

A white man holding a Donald Trump 'Make America Great Again' placard interrupted the protest on Friday night

In Rochester, New York, 74 people were arrested for blocking the street after protesters sat down

An estimated 5,000 people halted traffic as they demanded justice for black men killed at the hands of police

There was a heavy police presence during the protest, with officers on high alert following the massacre in Dallas

By Ollie Gillman and Khaleda Rahman For Dailymail.com and Associated Press Published: 12:41 EST, 8 July 2016 | Updated: 08:13 EST, 9 July 2016

Black Lives Matter protesters have been sprayed with tear gas in Phoenix after a march against police brutality spiraled out of control. Police also fired bean bag rounds and pepper spray at the protesters, who were seen running away and shielding their eyes. One image showed a white man holding a Donald Trump 'Make America Great Again' placard interrupting the protest on Friday night. Less than three hours after the demonstration began at 8pm, police declared the protest an 'unlawful assembly' and ordered people to leave after objects were thrown at officers, the Arizona Republic reported. In Rochester, New York, the SWAT team arrived and police arrested 74 protesters who were blocking the streets. One organizer, Ashley Gantt, said they sat down because they did not want any movement to be misinterpreted as violence after the shootings in Dallas. Other protests were calmer, with an estimated 5,000 people marching peacefully along a highway in Atlanta as they demanded justice for black men killed by police officers in recent days. There was a heavy police presence at the Atlanta rally as protesters halted traffic, with officers on high alert following Thursday's massacre in Dallas. Gunman Micah Xavier Johnson, 25, shot 12 officers and two civilians on a rampage that killed five Dallas cops. Friday evening's protest came as police forces across the country braced for any fall-out from the horrific shooting in Texas. Thousands more people took part in smaller protests across America, with demonstrations in Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Utah and Washington, DC. Also, in Los Angeles, rappers Snoop Dogg and The Game led a peaceful march to the LAPD's headquarters, where they met with the mayor and police chief and urged improved relations between authorities and minority communities. Protests were also planned in Oakland and San Francisco on Friday night. In Atlanta, demonstrators flooded the streets and brought traffic to a standstill Friday after gathering at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights near Centennial Olympic Park. Protesters chanted: 'Hands up, don't shoot.' People protesting police brutality in Dallas on Thursday evening were belting out the same chant when Johnson first opened fire. Tonight's protests have been peaceful and no arrests have been made. The marches are in response to the recent shootings of black men Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, who were shot by white police officers in Louisiana and Minnesota respectively. Police chiefs in New York, Washington, D.C, Boston, Las Vegas, St. Louis, and Nassau County have ordered officers to partner up for assignments. The NYPD's chief of department James O'Neill said until further notice, officers are banned from responding to calls alone. 'Effective immediately and until further notice, all uniform members of service are to be assigned in pairs,' an internal memo from O'Neill says, according to WPIX reporter Myles Miller. O'Neill added: 'There will be no solo assignments citywide.' Washington's police chief Cathy Lanier ordered officers and supervisors in the capital to also pair up while on duty. 'Looking at the type of attack that happened in Dallas, a two-man car, a four-man car, a 10-man car, isn't going to make much of a difference,' Lanier said, according to the Washington Post. 'But it makes the officers feel much safer.' Meanwhile, Cincinnati police spokeswoman Tiffaney Hardy says police will use two-officer patrols throughout the weekend, 'then we will re-evaluate.' A police union official says some officers had expressed desire to be in two-officer cars for increased safety. Boston Police Department tweeted: 'In light of the tragedy in Dallas and in the best interests of officer safety, all #BPD patrols will be conducted by two-officer units.' The Las Vegas Police Department said officers will be operating in pairs because of reports of planned protests in cities across the country. 'Based on reports of protests in several major cities across the US, on-duty #LVMPD officers will be working in pairs until further notice,' the department tweeted. In St Louis, Missouri, police chief Sam Dotson said all officers will also be required to wear bulletproof vests. In a statement, Dotson said late on Thursday night: 'Due to events unfolding in Dallas, Texas, effective immediately, all on-duty officers will work in pairs until further notice. 'No police officers, park rangers or mashals will be sent or handle any assignments without a partner. 'In addition to this, all personnel leaving any of the stations for enforcement activities will be required to wear their ballistic vest.' He added: 'Although locally we are not experiencing any civil unrest, this decision is precautionary and is to maximize the safety of officers and our community.' The Nassau County Police Department officials said that all necessary steps were being taken to ensure the safety of police officers and the public. In a statement on Friday, the department said: 'Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this heinous act of violence and their families. 'The NCPD is taking all necessary steps to ensure the safety of the public and our police officers. 'We will intensify patrols in areas of public gatherings and near critical infrastructure. 'Social media outlets will be intensely monitored and we request the public's assistance in any way possible to stop threats to public safety.' Five Dallas police officers were fatally shot and seven others wounded during a protest over the deaths of black men killed by police this week in Louisiana and Minnesota - the deadliest day for U.S. law enforcement since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Facebook Headquarters Puts Up Massive ‘Black Lives Matter’ Sign Following Dallas Shooting

Social media company seemingly declines to make sign for slain Dallas officers

Infowars.com - July 8, 2016

Facebook placed a massive “Black Lives Matter” sign on its Menlo Park headquarters Friday just hours after five Dallas officers were gunned down by a member of a Black Power Political Organization. The sign’s letters were made up of the names of different highly publicized and deceased black individuals including Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner and Michael Brown. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has long expressed support for Black Lives Matter, even going as far as reprimanding employees for saying “all lives matter.” The social media site, which has been repeatedly accused – even by former employees – of suppressing conservative content, seemingly had no issue this week with Black Lives Matter supporters celebrating the death of the Dallas officers. This is not the first time Black Lives Matter supporters have called for and carried out violence against law enforcement officers. Whether it be chanting for “dead cops,” attempting to bomb police stations or actually executing officers, Black Lives Matter has continually been given credibility by the media despite its dangerous actions and rhetoric.

EXCLUSIVE: DHS designated Orlando Massacre NSSE pre-planned event

July 08, 2016

Vero Beach FL - (TRUNEWS) For the first time in history, a terrorist attack was declared a National Special Security Event (NSSE) by the Department of Homeland Security, according to a recently obtained police report. According to a Orange County Sheriff’s Office Incident Report written by Sergeant David Legvold — who served as the Assistant Team Commander for the Critical Incident Management Team (CIMT) on scene at the June 12th Orlando shooting — the attack was declared a National Special Security Event (NSSE) between 05:00 and 09:30 AM and police officers were ordered not to discuss the details. “I was informed by Lieutenant Mitch Shaban this incident had been declared a National Special Security Event (NSSE) and should not be discussed outside the law enforcement community, ” Sergeant Legvold wrote in the Incident Report on June 12th at 11:32:39 AM, which was also approved by him on June 14th at 11:32:39 AM. Orange County Sheriff’s Office Incident Report June 12 2016 NSSE procedures were established on May 22, 1998 by President Bill Clinton in a portion of the Presidential Decision Directive 62 (PDD-62), titled “Combating Terrorism”. According to information published on the website of the DHS’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the authority for declaring an NSSE originates with the Secretary of the DHS, Jeh Johnson. According to the DHS, an NSSE can only be declared when an event of national or international significance is deemed to be a potential target for terrorism or other criminal activity.

The DTFHA fact sheet also detailed that Federal planning for an NSSE may begin two to three years prior of the event, and local planning should begin 12 to 18 months in advance. This implementation mirrors similar planning protocols involved in a full scale military operation, and would include:

Establishing a steering committee

Establishing subcommittees

Identifying and acquiring resources

Constructing an operational security plan

Establishing protocols

Conducting training

Executing the plan

Completing after-action reviews

The DHS notes that when an NSSE is declared, the U.S. Secret Service is placed in charge of event security, the FBI is placed in charge of intelligence, counter terrorism, hostage rescue, and investigation of incidents of terrorism or other major criminal activities associated with the NSSE, and FEMA in charge of recovery management in the aftermath of terrorist or other major criminal incidents, natural disasters or other catastrophic events. The DHS specifically notes that the NSSE designation is not a funding mechanism, and that there is no specific federal “pot of money” to be distributed to state and local governments within whose jurisdiction the NSSE takes/took place. Speaking by phone on July 7th, Sergeant Legvold told TRUNEWS correspondent Edward Szall that he cannot comment on Report 16-53354 or provide information about the NSSE, and referred all questions to Captain Angelo L. Nieves, the Unit Commander for Orange County Sheriff’s Public Information Officer (PIO) Department. Captain Nieves could not be reached for comment, but Jane Watrel, a former NBC reporter who currently serves as a Public Information Officer and the Social Media Specialist for Orange Country Sheriff’s Office, agreed to process a public records request for TRUNEWS on this matter and other inconsistencies involved in our ongoing investigation.

EXCLUSIVE: Facebook refuses to remove sickening cartoon of police officer having his throat slit from Black Panther page Dallas cop killer Micah Xavier Johnson ranted on just days before massacre

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT

Facebook refused to remove gruesome cartoon of cop having his throat slit

Gruesome image shows man dressed in black slashing the officer's neck

Image was posted on the 'Black Panther Party Mississippi' Facebook page

It was reported but Facebook ruled it does not 'promote graphic violence'

Dallas cop killer Micah Xavier Johnson posted a rant on the page five days before he shot 12 police officers, killing five

By Ollie Gillman For Dailymail.com Published: 00:18 EST, 9 July 2016 | Updated: 07:38 EST, 9 July 2016

Facebook has refused to remove a sickening cartoon of a police officer having his throat slit from a Black Panther page used by Dallas cop killer Micah Xavier Johnson. The gruesome image shows a man dressed in black slashing a uniformed officer's throat with a knife as blood spills out of the cop's neck. It was posted on the 'Black Panther Party Mississippi' page, which Johnson posted a twisted rant on just days before he embarked on his massacre. The cartoon carries the words 'as a R.B.G. killer panther I pledge to defend my black community by any means necessary'. 'R.B.G' stands for red, black and green and refers to the Pan-African flag, which is often seen being flown at civil rights protests. The picture was posted on Facebook by a user called Prince Mamuhammad, whose profile includes posts talking of 'war with the white male'. The image has been reported to Facebook but the social media website refused to take it down, saying it does not violate the company's 'community standards'.bFacebook ruled that the picture does not 'promote graphic violence'. Its reply to the report said: 'Reports like yours are an important rile in making Facebook a safe and welcoming environment. 'We reviewed the post you reported for promoting graphic violence and found it doesn't violate our community standards.' Daily Mail Online has contacted Facebook for further comment. Johnson, who was a user of a host of Facebook pages dedicated to black militancy, posted a rant on the same Black Panther Party Mississippi page five days before he shot 12 police officers in Dallas, killing five. 'Why do so many whites (not all) enjoy killing and participating in the death of innocent beings,' he wrote above a video of what appeared to be people participating in a whale-killing. In the disjointed July 2 post, Johnson expressed anger over lynchings of black people and 'our ancestors' being beaten, mutilated and killed. 'Then they all stand around and smile while their picture is taken with a hung, burned and brutalized black person, 'Johnson, 25, wrote. 'They even go to our homeland and shoot our endangered wildlife for sport.' Army reservist Johnson said during a four-hour siege in a parking garage in downtown Dallas that he wanted to kill white people, specifically white police officers, law enforcement officials said. 'The suspect said he was upset about Black Lives Matter. He said he was upset about the recent police shootings of black suspects. He said he was upset at white people. The suspect stated he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers,' Dallas Police Chief David Brown said. Johnson identified himself on Facebook as a black nationalist, and his profile picture shows him wearing a dashiki and holding a clenched first in the air like a Black Panther. He 'liked' several pages related to the Nation of Islam, the Black Riders Liberation Party, the New Black Panther Party and the African American Defense League. A man who served in the same platoon as Johnson in Afghanistan told Fox News he 'went all Black Panther' after he returned from the war zone. Johnson wasn't the only person in his family to have developed a distrust for law enforcement. In the days leading up to the shooting, his sister Nicole wrote several posts about her frustration at the tense relationship between police and the African-American community. She said police officers needed 'to get a taste of the life we now fear'. Writing on Facebook, she said: 'Tired of y’all tryin to be on these cops side making it okay based off irrelevant info when our own get killed over unjust s***.' 'Man on life itself I'm beginning to trust law less n less. Come a yr from now everybody will need a gun for protection. Why is it the black get the harsh treatment like damn. Makes me so mad. When he decide we had enough n fight back smhh...' she wrote on July 6, responding to the death of Alton Sterling. After the shooting however, she expressed utter shock at her brother's actions. 'I keep saying it’s not true,' she wrote on Facebook on Friday. 'My eyes hurt from crying. Y him??? And why was he downtown.' 'The news will say what they think but those that knew him know this wasn't like him,' Johnson added in another post. 'This is the biggest loss we've had.' Dallas police officers Patrick Zamarripa, Michael Krol, Lorne Ahrens and Michael J. Smith, as well as DART Officer Brent Thompson, were killed by Johnson on Thursday evening. Johnson reportedly fired from an 'elevated position', picking off officers 'ambush style,' Chief Brown said, suggesting that the shooter had some tactical background. 'Some officers were shot in the back,' he added. Cops cornered Johnson at El Centro College at around 11pm on Thursday and attempted to negotiate, but four hours later the talks failed and a robot was brought in to detonate a bomb and kill the suspect. This was after shots had rung out at a previously peaceful protest in downtown Dallas with demonstrators screaming and running for their lives as cops dropped dead one by one. Johnson wore body armor, which would suggest why a cop was not able to kill him when he confronted him in a one-on-one situation which was caught on camera. It resulted in the cop being executed. He also carried an AR-15 assault rifle and a handgun, and several rounds of ammunition. During a search of his home, detectives found bomb making materials, ballistic vests, rifles, ammunition and a personal journal of combat tactics.

Police Killings In Dallas Was Carried Out By Homegrown Terrorist Group Allied With Muslim Groups. Obama’s Race Baiting And Pro Muslim Gov Is Setting The Stage For Civil War In America

By Walid Shoebat on July 8, 2016 in Featured, General

A link to one of the last cached snapshots of its now removed Facebook page of the first group to take credit for the Dallas PD officer assassinations share common ideologies with other muslim terrorist groups. Black Power Political Organization – BPPO states its goals: “We Are A Powerful Political Group Of Patriotic, Pro Black, Pan African” “Black Power” are also part of Black Panthers (who are mostly moslem) and they promised that “More Will Be Assassinated In The Coming Days! Do You Like The Work Of Our Assassins? Get Your Own Sniper” Micah Johnson who is seen on video killing a cop joined Facebook groups that referenced the Black Panther Party, the LA Times reported, including one called the Huey P. Newton Gun Club, named after one of the Black Panthers’ founders. Johnson liked pages relating to Elijah Mohammed, the Nation of Islam’s deceased founder. This is a militant black Muslim group. Johnson also liked the Black Riders Liberation Party, which describes itself as a “new generation” of Black Panthers. This is the face of the future inbred terrorists in America. His young sister spoke out on Wednesday, before the ambush, claiming on social media that cops needed “to get a taste of the life we now fear.” “(I’m) tired of y’all tryin to be on these cops side making it okay based off irrelevant info when our own get killed over unjust s—,” Nicole Johnson said on Wednesday. And if the Palestinian excuse for killing Jews is “the occupation” these have the same principles “its the cops”. The Black Power Political Organization wants their rhetoric to be heard: The only true way us black people can liberate ourselves from white supremacy, and other race control! Is by using the same methods they use to control us, against them! That’s the same technique Zionist Jews use to liberate their people! By targeting the head, the people with the power and authority to make the changes we want! White Leaders and leaders of other race are the ones with the power and authority to make the changes us black people want! All it takes is to get influence and control over them like the Jews did. Then we will be able to force them to do what we want! All of that is easy to accomplish! You either use economic influence to control them. Or you use an independent assassin group to target these leaders and their families until they do what we want! Zionist Jews use both techniques! So don’t worry yourselves, a better tomorrow is coming for us black people. (From Black Power Political Organization – BPPO) There is little difference from ISIS. Our Mission Is To Free Africa And All Black Based Countries From Non Black Control! And Give Black People The Opportunity They Need To Develop Themselves And Reach Their Full Potential! Free Africa from What? Other African dictators? Have at it then and move to Africa. They say they want to rule Africa: We Are A Powerful Political Group Of Patriotic, Pro Black, Pan African Leaders! Who’s Job Is To Rule And Control Africa, And All Black Based Countries! So To Avoid Corruption, Bribery, Exploitation, Non Black Control And Every Form Of Ailments Preventing Black People And Africa From Reaching It’s Full Potential! And how will they accomplish this goal? To Accomplish Our Goal! We Will Be Working With (Black People Protection Agency AKA “BLACK KNIGHTS”)! A Powerful Group Of Well Trained Professional Sniper Assassins, With Tens Of Thousands Of Assassins Located All Over The World, In Every Country! Who’s Job Is To Hold Government Leaders And Other Powerful People All Over The World Responsible When They Fail To Give Black People Equal Rights And Justice In Their Countries. And they want to kill us by taxing us: Our Organization Will Be Finance Through Taxation And Other Means! (Like I always say! To free yourself from the white man. You will have to become like the white man. This is like saying that in order to defeat ISIS we must become ISIS and in order to defeat the Nazis we must becomes Nazis. If this is the case, these are the very opposite of what they claim to be. These give themselves special privileges which they do not allow others. What difference are they from the way they paint their enemies? And who allowed such groups to flourish? In fact such radical groups work within the U.S. government. Take lets say The Institute for Muslim Minority Affairs (IMMA), Taha Jaber al-Alwani, whom Hillary’s aid, Huma and her family, the Abedins, support and also harbor a similar ardent anti-Semitic views. Al-Alwani runs the United States Department of Defense program (out of all places) for training Muslim military chaplains in the U.S. military. We translated some of his quotes on the issue of The Muslim Minority Affairs: “… it [MMA] is a Jurisprudence for a group confned to its special circumstances which is allowed what others are not. In other words, these groups are entitled to certain privileges others should not have. These are groups bred to have a ‘superiority complex’. Alwani, a man commissioned by our government, even calls for a soon-to-be military conquest and provides an offcial fatwa in preparation for the use of force: “Commitment to the Quranic concept of Geography: The land belongs to Allah, his religion is Islam, and every country is already in the House of Islam—now in the present time—since they will be in the House of Islam by force in the near future. The whole of humanity is a Muslim Nation: it is either ‘the religion of the nation’ which has embraced this religion [Islam], or a ‘proselyte nation’ we are obliged to conquer.” (Alwani, The Jurisprudence of Muslim Minority Affairs. No. 7) Alwani speaks of a future, literal war from within. This is why we see people like Nidal Malik Hassan attacking military personnel. Such infiltration is on all levels, military and civil. In America, even the Director of the Islamic Center of Lubbock Texas Mohammed bin Mukhtar Shanqeeti agrees: “The Muslim Minority Jurisprudence is not a heresy or a novel, it’s an ancient doctrine flled with the provisions for Muslims living in Dar al-Kufr (House of the Heathen) or Dar Al-Harb (House of War).” Even the Abedins’ Journal for Muslim Minority Affairs (JMMA ) confrms that their program stems from these same extremist sources: “The theory of the Jurisprudence of Muslim Minorities is most easily clarifed by shedding light on its founders” which the notes state are none other than Muslim Brotherhood “Yusuf al-Qaradawi” and “Taha Jabir al-Alwani”. No matter how one slices and dices these groups from Black Power Political Organization (BPPO), BlackPower, BlackKnights, Muslim Minority Affairs, Black Islam … these are all afilliates of Nation of Islam which is supported by muslim groups such as The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). The intent is to foment revolution in America. While CAIR is truly an external force, using African Americans has been the call of every Islamist since I remember how to speak. My father who taught Islamic studies since I was six years spoke of this tactic and that the blacks are enslaved by whites. President Obama is reviving an old mummy and Islam has manipulated backs from the dawn of time. SO WHAT CAUSED THE DALLAS MASSACRE? When officials and media say ‘white cops murdered innocent blacks’ you will eventually have ‘bad blacks murder innocent white cops’. Its inevitable. But besides Obama, democratic party nominee Hillary Clinton’s hatchet-woman Elizabeth Warren sent several tweets Thursday afternoon, including one that read: “We’ve seen the sickening videos of black Americans killed in traffic stops. Lives ended by those sworn to protect them.” For a while we have reported that Americans fear Muslim external forces like Al Qaeda, ISIS and the Taliban which they should. But for the last several years Americans are being taught to fear the cops instead. What we are facing here is the degrading of a society from the evils within. This is no longer an external problem. The leftist leaning U.S. government is allowing evil to fester and is doing nothing about it. The labels matter little since all of them share a common leftist ideology. And yes, Islam too, like Black Lives Matter is also leftist. These consider the United States imperialist oppressors that must be destroyed in order to give minorities “freedom.” There is no difference in the goals of Black Life Matters, Black Nights or the Muslim Minority Affairs, which Huma Abedin, Hillary’s aid share. These are all using their ‘minority status’ to create havoc within a society until they see it destroyed from within. From Hillary to Obama to the Department of Justice, they are not taking any action against the real hate-filled groups but instead, they are labeling anyone who hates evil as ‘haters’. This is why such groups have gone unchecked. Social media and government target what they label as ‘Islamophobes’ and ‘homophobes’ while targeting whites and police officers becomes legitimate and what is blamed in the end is the gun. Shoebat.com reported last night the organizer of the Dallas Black Lives Matter rally is a sodomite pro-Muslim agent by the name of Jeff Hood. In 2015, after American Christians protested an Islamic event in Dallas, this reprobate, Jeff Hood, said: “I think that Texas Muslims are the real Christians.” Disguising himself as a Baptist minister to cover his Islamic sentiments, in one statement Hood espouses the Muslim perspective about Jesus. In his website he posts a picture of Jesus dressed as a Muslim. Hood’s book “The Courage to be Queer,” he blasphemously wrote: “In fully living into the Queer within, Jesus became different and made all the difference.” He also stated: “Jesus was the most queer person on Earth.” Obama, like Hitler’s final days, insisted to keep the trains rolling with Jews to Auschwitz. Evil must go on, but it is on full throttle before the devil departs. Obama is now acting quick since the devil knows his time is short.

The Anatomy of a False Flag Event

By Dave Hodges

This are article examines three critical aspects of a false flag event and then applies what is known, and typical of a false flag event to the murder of five Dallas police officers earlier in the week. By the way, the above picture strongly suggests that there is a lot more to the official narrative than the public is being told. The three areas of concern are: Rehearsal of certain aspects of the event by either First Responser, LEO, or both. If the false flag event consists of an assassination(s), the narrative includes acting alone, the “discovery” of a diary or a mainfesto which states the murderous intentions of the “patsy”, and the labeling of the so-called perpetrator as being insane so the act can be referred to as a random act of insane violence so the subject of a conspiracy never enters the discussion by the media and the authorities investigating the crime. Disguise the purpose of the event. Rehearsal for the Event History is replete for rehearsal of a false flag event. In some cases, the event flows from the drill/rehearsal. This practice make s a great deal of sense, because complex agendas need rehearsal in order to produce the desired effect, which is always the opposite of the truth. The following events represents a history of major false flag attack in which there were drills preceding the attack. This list is not exhaustive and it not intended to be. Rather, it shows a distinctive pattern in which the event was preceded by a drill closely associated with the nature of the false-flag event Oklahoma City 9/11

The Estonia Catastrophe

The Oslo Shooting

London Subway Bombing

Virginia Tech Shooting

Taft Union High School Drill gone live

Boston Marathon Bombing

In the case of the Dallas shooting, we see the same type of drill preparation only a few days prior to the murdering of five Dallas police officers According to CBS Dallas Fort Worth an active shooter drill took place in Argyle Texas just 41 miles north of Dallas on June 29 2016. FROM CBS DFW: “The sights and sounds are scary, but not dangerous. Members of law enforcement, along with fire and EMS personnel conducted an active shooter exercise at a North Texas high school on Wednesday. Emergency vehicles could be seen responding with lights and sirens at Argyle High School. Local hospitals also participated in the disaster drill. The event includes realistic scenarios that have actors playing victims and officers using fake gun rounds. The sights and sounds are scary, but not dangerous. Members of law enforcement, along with fire and EMS personnel conducted an active shooter exercise at a North Texas high school on Wednesday. Emergency vehicles could be seen responding with lights and sirens at Argyle High School. Local hospitals also participated in the disaster drill. The event includes realistic scenarios that have actors playing victims and officers using fake gun rounds. Argyle ISD Police Chief Paul Cairney said officials are taking every consideration and realize a shooting event can happen in a small town. “We’ve been thinking about that. But one of the things that we need to make sure that we do, if something were to happen, is we need to have the whole response coordinated and coordinated well, because we don’t want to have anymore people that are hurt,” he said.” The Dallas event definitely fits the profile of so many other false flag events with regard to a preceding drills which comes close mimicking the actual event. If this were the only similarity to so many false flag events, one could argue that this is just a tragic coincidence. However, the evidence trail which strongly suggest that this fits previous false flag events, almost perfectly. There is no question that the rehearsal aspect of a false flag event was satisfied in this case. When the False Flag Involves Assassination, the Following Characteristics are Present When direct assassinations are involved we see the following narrative: Lone gunman with no second shooter in order to avoid allegations of a conspiracy. A discovered diary or manifesto declaring the intentions of the lone gunman. In each of the following cases, the perpetrator (i.e. patsy) had a diary/manifesto stating their murderous intentions and the target of the hostility. JFK assassination RFK assassination Martin Luther King In 9/1l, the discovery of Mohamed Atta’s passport was miraculously found, despite the fact that neither of the two planes had their black boxes found. But the government found Atta’s passport. Swamp land in Florida anyone? The found passport served the purpose of a diary with stated terrorist intentions, for placing the blame on Muslim terrorists, to cover up the fact that this was a false flag event. In regard to the most recent terror event, the shooter has been identified and he has, you guessed, a manifesto with stated intentions to go along with a discovered document on military strategy tactics. In regard to the most recent terror event, the shooter has been identified and he has, you guessed, a manifesto with stated intentions to go along with a discovered document on military strategy tactics. Micah Xavier Johnson went on a shooting rampage against Dallas police, officials said Friday. From the official narrative from the LA Times: “Investigators have discovered bomb-making materials, rifles and a “personal journal of combat tactics” in the home of the black former Army reservist who is identified as Micah Xavier Johnson, 25, a Dallas-area resident, was a “loner” with no criminal history who “wanted to kill white people” and “especially white officers,” said police, who are still investigating whether he acted alone in perpetrating the deadliest day for law enforcement since the Sept. 11 terror attacks in 2001.” Please note that Johnson was not a man of many means. Where did he get the money to acquire such a vast amount of military hardware? This is strongly reminiscent of the Aurora Batman Shooting for the exact same reasons. The Purpose of the False Flag Event I have been writing this for years, the following order will be followed to take world into a third world war in which the goal is to cull the population by 90%. The people don’t want war, they have to be convinced by false flag events. The following three steps are now in play and will culminate in World War III The creation of domestic false flag terror events (e.g. the Dallas police shootings designed to start a race war), in which the government, for the good of the people, must step in and declare martial law. The elimination of all political and religious dissent under the martial law. This means gun confiscations and roundups (e.g. rehearsed by Jade Helm. When goals one and two occur, World War III will commence and the New World Order will complete its mission of the elimination of all national sovereignty. We are are present in stage one moving quickly toward stage two. This is the anatomy of a false flag event.

Jubilee Jolt: Pre-Planned And Leaked ‘Summer of Chaos’ Begins in Dallas

July 8, 2016 / Jeff Berwick / 20 Comments

It was only two days ago that we focused on the Black Lives Matter (BLM) leaked documents showing they were planning, in concert with the Obama Regime, a “Summer of Chaos.” We wrote: Black Lives Matter leader Deray McKesson had two of his email accounts hacked recently … [They] showed that they are planning to create massive unrest during this election period in something they call the “Summer of Chaos”. The leaked documents show that Soros-embraced Black Lives Matter wants to create so much chaos that martial law will be instituted and the elections cancelled. Chaos is the goal in order to destabilize the populace. Two days later, on 7/7 (the magic number 7!), the opening shots were fired in Dallas, Texas. Just as we predicted. During an evening rally of Black Lives Matter to protest two deadly police shootings, a sniper or snipers took aim from rooftops and killed or wounded numerous government law enforcers. Following all the trappings of past false flag attacks, the supposed sniper was killed… blown up in fact… before we could gain any information from him. But, as we said earlier, two top Black Lives Matter activists had their email and Twitter accounts hacked last month and it showed their plans, in concert with US Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, to cause massive riots and unrest in what they termed the “Summer of Chaos.” Black Lives Matter leader, Deray McKesson, confirmed that his Twitter and email accounts were hacked. Deray McKesson Twitter Account Hacked - The Dollar Vigilante The hackers released some private messages between Deray McKesson and BLM activist, Samuel Simyangwe, where they discuss how they have 10,000 people ready to be bussed into Cleveland for the Republican National Convention to cause so many problems that they will shut it down. The apparent goal is to cause so many problems in this “Summer of Chaos” as to cancel the upcoming US elections and institute martial law, as can be seen by this further correspondence: The Saint Twitter post on Black Lives Matter Leak - The Dollar Vigilante And they refer to their correspondence with “Mrs. Lynch” on it all… of course, that could be any Mrs. Lynch. Or it could be US Attorney General, Loretta Lynch. Now, in just the first days of July, two black men were gunned down by police and two high quality videos of it were streamed or immediately posted to the internet. Black Lives Matter protests sprung up nearly instantaneously… and in the case of Dallas, a sniper or snipers quickly deployed and began killing police. Rather than deploying their own SWAT team to try to take out the sniper, the police decided to send countless police cars in the area of the building where they sat as sitting ducks. Then, according to the police, they negotiated with him for a few hours while he told them he wanted to kill white cops. They then sent a robot up to the building with a bomb and blew him up. I am not going so far as to say this was certainly a false flag attack nor that this was part of the BLM plans that were leaked during the hack of their accounts. But this does have all the trappings of a typical false flag attack and meets every checkbox on the governmental agenda. The shooter? He was former military. Check. They’ve already been pronounced to be probable terrorist suspects. He claimed, according to the police, to hate white people. Check. Race war incitement. And he used a “long gun” to carry out the act. Check. Gun control agenda. Don’t forget too that BLM is indirectly funded by George Soros, the king of funding and creating riots, coups and regime changes. And, he’s been known to employ snipers to cause chaos, as they did in the Ukraine. Meanwhile, the mainstream media headlines repeat the same theme, “The deadliest single incident for US law enforcement since September 11, 2001.” This, to trigger the American public to recall the events surrounding 9/11, which was also a false flag attack. People in a state of fear are highly suggestable and can be controlled. The words “Civil War” graced many newspaper covers. Former Congressman and commentator Joe Walsh tweeted the Dallas killings ‘mean war-’ The suspect reportedly said, “The end is coming.” Remember that we’ve been saying that the globalist elites want to try to create a type of civil war in the US to destabilize it, just as they are destabilizing Europe, in order to usher in their globalist plans. Militarized vehicles with the United Nations logo on them have been spotted recently throughout the US and Jade Helm has now turned into UWEX 2016 which continues to see military equipment moved across the country. And info from sources is that military and National Guard reserves have been readied for some sort of action. We have taken to calling these Jubilee Jolts because they fit in with a larger elite intention to create a massive amount of chaos during this Jubilee Year. We wrote: Here in Jubilee 2016, we are witnessing the construction of global government. To see this latest occurrence regarding Hillary as part of the normal sociopolitical routine of American justice is to miss the point. The idea is to undermine society and drain away the confidence of the middle class in their society. We wrote that just after Killary Clinton got off the FBI’s charges… another event meant to cause civil discontent. And it was only a day later that the Dallas events occurred. As we reach October and the end of Jubilee 2016, the pace of planned chaos and its destructiveness will advance. The intention is to set the stage for a more emphatic globalism, and the “Summer of Chaos” will enable that. Whether planned, or not, the events that occurred in Dallas last night will form the basis for massive crisis, chaos, riots, killings and destruction throughout the summer and into this fall in the US… which plays directly into the hands of people like George Soros and the globalists. As we said only two days ago, and has already come to fruition, get ready for the “Summer of Chaos.”

Hacked messages of #BlackLivesMatter leader reveal Obama admin’s plan for ‘summer of chaos’ and martial law

Posted on July 5, 2016 by Dr. Eowyn | 66 Comments

U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch is coordinating with Democratic activists to so disrupt the upcoming Republican and Democratic National Conventions that martial law will be declared. That’s the stunning discovery revealed in a series of direct messages between three activists. On Friday, June 10, 2016, someone hacked into the Twitter account of #BlackLivesMatter (BLM) leader and former Baltimore mayoral candidate DeRay McKesson. McKesson later confirmed the hack to The Baltimore Sun. On June 11, 2016, a Twitterer who calls himself The Saint (@TheSaintNegro) tweeted a direct-message conversation on June 10 between KcKesson and another BLM leader Johnetta Elzie (Netta), in which the two discussed talking with Attorney General Loretta Lynch about plans to bring on martial law by causing chaos at the upcoming Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, and the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, PA, so as to keep Obama in office. Here’s the conversation over the course of several days between black activists DeRay McKesson (DM) and Johnetta Elzie (JE), and between McKesson and a “white ally” named Sam (S): JE: “Have you spoken with Mrs. Lynch [Attorney General Loretta Lynch] recently about the plan for the summer and fall leading up to the elections.” DM: “We spoke two weeks and they want us to start really pushing how racist Trump is now instead of waiting so the others can start getting the protesters ready to shut both conventions down.” DM: “If we can get both conventions shut down for messing over Bernie and for having racist Trump, then get martial law declared so Obama can stay in office we will win. Call you soon when I get to my dads so I can use his landline and we can talk more on this.” DM: “We have to make sure that we use our voices to keep people disrupting Trump all summer and through the fall so martial law can be declared….” S: “I wanted to touch base with you about the summer of chaos. So far we have over 2,000 people bused in from different cities and another 6,000 to 8,000 expected to drive into Cleveland for the Convention.” S: “They will not be ready for the crowds we are bringing and they will blame Trump for it, especially if we shut it down. The GOP will have to replace him at that point or we will continue the disruptions nationwide.” DM: “I will pass the info along. Good work, Sam. You never let us down. It’s so important we stop Trump. He can not be president. He will destroy everything we worked so hard for and we can’t trust….” DM: “…today and he [Sam?] confirmed that there will be around 10,000 protesters disrupting the [Republican] convention. Plans are being made for other cities as well for upcoming Trump events. Ads have already been placed looking for people to help. I know you don’t care for them [white people] but this is the time we need our white allies doing a lot of the work for us. They are the ones who listen the best.” JE: “That will put fear into the GOP and the country when they can’t have their convention for all their racist supporting Trump. We’ve worked too hard and closely with the Obama administration to have that racist ass take it all away and Hillary…. You know I can’t stand those white allies, but yo right this is the best to use them. They hang on every word you say and will do whatever is asked. I just hate all that kiss ass they try to do. Like that changes who they are.” DM: “We have a lot of white allies volunteering for Trump’s campaign to pass along information to us before it’s made public so we know when rallies are coming up before they are announced. That way we can plan major disruptions in those cities in advance. We just have to keep our names out of this and let these [white] people do the work for us by pushing how Trump’s racist ways will destroy….” JE: “That’s all those white people are good for in my eyes. I couldn’t imagine even pretending to like that racist ass Trump even to get info on his events. I’ll be glad when we shut his ass down.” DM: “With the support we have from Mrs. Lynch and the help we’ve got from Sam and others it won’t be hard to cause enough….”

This Is The Video YouTube Banned That Exposes Sharia Law And The Terror Agenda For America - More Proof We're One Step Closer To Sharia Law In America? You Be The Judge!

July 9, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

The photographs plastered all over the front of the Drudge Report Thursday morning show Barack Obama dressed up in Muslim garb, apparently taken in the state of Maryland during the 1990's. According to Fox news broadcaster Bill O'Reilly, the photographs prove that Obama has 'deep emotional ties to Islam' and 'is not a devout Christian'. O'Reilly further claims that Obama's devotion to Islam has hurt the US as he's been completely unwilling to fight the Islamic State. "The Obama administration's greatest failure" we are told. While YouTube has just pulled an 'anti-Sharia' video according to this story from the Daily Caller, calling the video 'hate speech', a Facebook page is being used by illegal aliens to notify other illegal aliens of police checkpoints in this country to help them avoid being caught trying to get in according to this new story from Breitbart. Just think about how many ISIS terrorists may be using the same method to avoid detection while YouTube is blocking Americans from learning about the scourge that is Islam. Is this Daily Caller story proof that YouTube is just being used as a pawn to implement worldwide sharia law? Called "Killing For A Cause: Sharia Law And Civilization Jihad", we've embedded the censored video below from a couple of different sources in case it continues to be taken down by those who don't want you to see it. Why has YouTube taken this video down UNLESS they are pushing for sharia law and the Islamic terrorist agenda in America?I am stunned that the policy that YouTube developed for the express purpose of fighting Islamic State propaganda is now being used to silence critics of radical jihad,” Jim Hanson, executive vice president of the Center for Security Policy said Wednesday. Hanson added, “Instead of counteracting radical propaganda online, these policies are now being used to silence the very speech that YouTube said it wanted — speech that challenges ISIS.” According to this new story from the Washington Post, 'Muslim camps are now spreading across America'. While one completely clueless commenter on the story stated: "It's nice to see the Washington Post doing its part to try and normalize islam in the west." The highest rated comment on the story seen below states the truth that Barack Obama, Hitlery Clinton and the mainstream media are trying to hide from us - the very last thing America needs is Islam to be 'normalized' in the West. That is, of course, unless Americans want to live the rest of our lives under a totalitarian, dictatorial regime that treats women like slaves and treats anybody who doesn't follow their religion as 2nd class citizens or slaughters them outright. There is no room for THIS in America! Dear Abigail, as a woman raised in islamic culture, and having escaped it and its misogynist, women-as-cattle/second-class-humans/sex-slaves, male-dominant belief system, nothing saddens me more than young western women, raised in leftwing college culture turning their common sense and intelligence into mush by defending and glamorizing islam, the one religion that truly symbolizes submission and suppression and us vs them (the infidels) mentality, where "peace" means peace among moslem brothers and nothing else. I won't call you a fool Abigail as I don't think you are, but I will call you another leftwing young woman turned into foolishness. Is America now closing in on sharia law? Why is YouTube blocking videos that prove that Sharia is a scourge upon the Earth and if it is enacted in full in America, would literally bring hell upon our people? As we hear from Hollywood actor Scott Baio (along with his wife Renee) who speak out on the Wayne Dupree show as heard in the 3rd video below, with all of the secrecy that we've been witnessing surrounding Barack Obama's faith, Hillary Clinton's crimes and what has been happening across our country it is clear, we may be closing in on the completion of a long-worked plan to turn America into a terrorist playground and the terrorists have a secret weapon to do so, sharia law and liberal courts, colleges and professors across America who have no idea what they're inviting into our lives. Once again, we have to ask, why would YouTube ban a video that exposes plans to takeover America and subject Americans to terror? Does YouTube have an alternative motive? To close from the Daily Caller story.: The CounterJihad video can still be watched on their website (and in the 1st TWO videos below, for now!). “Terrorism seems to be everywhere, and it’s getting worse. The bad guys have lots of names—ISIS, al Qaeda, Boko Haram—but they have one thing in common. They are all killing for a cause: Islamic Law known as Sharia,” a voice-over in the video states. “Sharia is a return to medieval Islam. Sharia demands a Holy War called Jihad. The most widely available book of Islamic Law in English says: ‘Jihad means to war against non-Muslims.'” The voice-over goes on to say, “But there is another kind of Jihad. In their Explanatory Memorandum, the Muslim Brotherhood, calls this, ‘civilization jihad,’ saying, ‘The [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers.'”

Utah resident is 1st confirmed Zika-related death in continental US

By Daphne Chen | Posted Jul 8th, 2016 @ 10:52pm

SALT LAKE CITY — An elderly Salt Lake County resident who died in late June is the first confirmed Zika-related death in the continental U.S., health officials announced Friday. The individual traveled to a Zika-infected area earlier this year and was awaiting Zika testing results when he or she died, according to Salt Lake County Health Department Director Gary Edwards. He said officials found the cause of death to be "of suspicion" and later received test results confirming that the individual had Zika. Due to privacy laws, public health officials said they would not release additional details about the individual or his or her travel history. It may be impossible to determine exactly how or if the Zika virus contributed to the individual's death, said Dr. Dagmar Vitek, the health department's medical director, who added that the individual had "an underlying health condition." Vitek clarified in a news conference Friday that officials believe Zika contributed to the death but do not know if it was the sole cause. Experts assured Utahns that the chance of local transmission in the state remains low. The species of mosquito that carries Zika has been found in Utah just once, when mosquito abatement workers caught six specimens in Washington County three years ago. Utah’s cold winters and high elevation usually prevent Zika-carrying mosquitoes from surviving in Utah, according to Salt Lake City Mosquito Abatement District manager Ary Faraji. Six people in Salt Lake County have tested positive for the Zika virus, according to Salt Lake County epidemiology director Ilene Risk, including the deceased individual. All had recently traveled to Zika-affected areas. No locally acquired Zika cases have been reported yet in the 50 states, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. Still, workers will be increasing the number of traps they put out in Salt Lake County, Faraji said, "just to make sure." The mosquito-borne illness was declared a public health crisis after alarming reports from Brazil surfaced last year of babies being born with severe birth defects. Since then, “the more we’ve learned, the bigger the problem seems,” said University of Utah pediatric infectious diseases chief Dr. Andrew Pavia. Once considered a relatively mild illness, the Zika virus is now thought to cause a range of birth defects in children born to infected mothers, and it has been linked to a rare form of temporary paralysis called Guillain-Barre syndrome. And although spread mostly through mosquitoes, sexual transmission is now thought to play a bigger role in Zika's spread than once thought, according to Pavia. However, Zika-related deaths remain rare, he said. A 70-year-old Puerto Rican man who died in February was the first U.S. death tied to the disease. In that case, Pavia said, the man died as the result of an autoimmune reaction to an earlier Zika infection in which his antibodies started attacking his platelets. Experts also believe that people who have weaker immune systems may be more susceptible to complications, although Pavia called the theory "speculative" at this point. With containment proving difficult and Congress deadlocked over Zika funding, Pavia said the virus is likely to continue spreading throughout the Western hemisphere. “It is really hard to mount an all-hands-on-deck response to a new infection when you have to steal money from one program and count pennies and recycle syringes,” Pavia said. “That's a slight exaggeration, but they’re really running out of spare change that they can find to do the work they need. We need funds to deal with this.” The Utah Department of Health is awaiting about $826,000 in funding from the CDC expected to arrive next month. But Democrats and Republicans in Congress are still fighting over President Barack Obama’s February request for $1.9 million in emergency Zika funding. Last month, Democrats blocked a federal spending bill that would have provided $1.1 billion to fight Zika, arguing that Republicans had inserted "poison pills" into the legislation. Those included provisions that would have restricted Planned Parenthood and other clinics from providing contraceptive services related to Zika and threatened funding for the Affordable Care Act. On Friday, Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah, accused Senate Democrats of “playing politics with our health" in a statement about the Utahn's death. The House passed a bill he sponsored that would have redirected leftover funds from the Ebola crisis to Zika. Democrats maintained that money was still needed to fight Ebola. Without any indication that a vaccine or cure is on the way, Vitek reminded residents that prevention “is absolutely huge.” People who are traveling to Zika-infected areas are advised to take precautions during the trip and after. For the most updated information about areas affected by Zika, visit CDC.gov/zika. Because Zika can be sexually transmitted, women who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant should not have unprotected sex with a man who has recently traveled to an area of the world where Zika virus is circulating for six months, health officials said. The Salt Lake County Travel Clinic is available to educate travelers about preventing Zika and other diseases common in their destination. The travel clinic can provide necessary immunizations and prescriptions for the prevention of other travel-related diseases. Appointments can be made by calling 385-468-4111. People who have traveled recently and who are concerned about any illness they may be experiencing should contact their health care provider. Contributing: Katie McKellar

Planned power cut at Death Valley on Saturday means no escaping 116-degree heat

By Mary Forgione July 8, 2016

f you’re going to Death Valley National Park on Saturday, be prepared to sweat big-time. The park will be without power from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. — meaning you may be facing triple-digit heat without the benefit of air-conditioning at visitor centers and resorts. The temperature is forecast to reach 116 degrees during the planned 12-hour power outage Saturday that’s needed to repair damaged power lines, according to a park statement. “If they are concerned with the heat, visitors should not come,” park spokeswoman Abby Wines says Thursday in an email. “If they do come, the best way to cool off is by using AC in their vehicles.” The park’s website notes the power cut will affect the Furnace Creek Visitor Center & Museum as well as Furnace Creek and Stovepipe Wells resorts. Furnace Creek Resort will remain open, with the restaurant and general store operational, Clark R. Davis, director of sales and marketing, says in an email. However don’t expect the resort to be cool. “We have generators, but most of the air conditioning systems are not … connected to the generators,” he wrote. “The temperature is [forecast] to be 77 in the morning. But it will be toasty midday and later.” If you still plan to go, check out the alerts and heat safety recommendations at Death Valley National Park’s website. In extreme summer heat, visitors are advised to drink plenty of water (and carry extra too) and to stop hiking after 10 a.m. You should tour by car — sticking to paved roads, not dirt or gravel off-road routes — not on foot. Know too that if you get into trouble, your cellphone may not work in much of the park. Saturday’s power cut is needed to repair a section of power line near the park’s eastern entrance that was damaged by a thunderstorm July 1. At the time, electricity was out for 38 hours before one of three power poles was temporarily repaired. As for the heat, Death Valley notched its hottest June on record this year. The average temperature was 101.9 degrees, exceeding its historic average June heat by about 6 degrees. A reading of 126 degrees was recorded on June 21. The “hottest place on earth” holds the record for the highest officially recorded temperature in the world: 134 degrees on July 10, 1913.

Moscow warns of ‘dangerous consequences’ as US moves to place missile defense system in S. Korea

Published time: 8 Jul, 2016 10:17

The boosting of US missile defense potential in Asia and the Pacific undermines the existing global security balance, the Russian Foreign Ministry said after it was announced that Washington intends to place missile defense systems in South Korea. “From the very beginning of the discussion of this issue we have consistently and invariably pointed at the most dangerous consequences of such a decision and called for our partners not to make this wrong choice. Unfortunately, our calls have remained unheard,” reads a Foreign Ministry statement released Friday. READ MORE: 'Joint decision': US to deploy missile defense to S. Korea in face of growing N. Korea threat Russian diplomats noted that the increase in the Asia-Pacific segment of the global missile defense system by the United States and its allies would undermine the existing strategic balance both in the region and beyond. “Such actions, regardless of the arguments they are backed with, have the most negative effect on global strategic stability, the adherence to which is such a favored topic of discussions in Washington,” the statement reads. The ministry also warned that the US steps threaten to increase regional tensions and create additional barriers to the peaceful settlement of the conflict between North and South Korea and nuclear disarmament on the Korean peninsula. The Russian diplomats concluded by expressing hope that the United States and South Korea would once again consider all factors behind the decision and abstain from potentially dangerous actions. Earlier on Friday, the South Korean Ministry of Defense announced that Seoul and Washington had reached an agreement to put a high-tech THAAD missile defense system in South Korea amid growing nuclear and missile threats from the North. According to South Korea’s Yonhap news agency, the system is expected to be in operation by the end of 2017. THAAD – Terminal High Altitude Area Defense – is an advanced system designed to intercept short, medium, and intermediate-range ballistic missiles during their terminal phase of flight. Equipped with a long-range radar, THAAD is believed to be capable of intercepting Pyongyang’s intermediate-range ballistic missiles. READ MORE: S. Korea agrees to begin talks on US missile defense after North's rocket launch The announcement has also drawn criticism from Beijing. China's Foreign Ministry said on Friday the system would destabilize the security balance in the region without doing anything to end the North's nuclear program. "China strongly urges the United States and South Korea to stop the deployment process of the THAAD anti-missile system, not take any steps to complicate the regional situation and do nothing to harm China's strategic security interests," it said in a statement on its website.

An Area 51 in Russia? Some people think so and their suspicions are shared by the US Congress. Testamony was taken on Congressional suspicions of Russian complex in Yamantau Mountain, circa 1997, and can be checked with the Congressional Record for that session. A Huge Anthill? [www.fas.org] -- Starting in the Brezhnev period, Russia has been pursuing construction of a massive underground facility at Yamantau Mountain and the city of Mezhgorye (formerly the settlements of Beloretsk-15 and Beloretsk-16). Russia's 1997 federal budget lists the project as a closed territory containing installations of the Ministry of Defense. On April 16, 1996, the New York Times reported on a mysterious military base being constructed in Russia: "In a secret project reminiscent of the chilliest days of the Cold War, Russia is building a mammoth underground military complex in the Ural Mountains, Western officials and Russian witnesses say. "Hidden inside Yamantau mountain in the Beloretsk area of the southern Urals, the project involved the creation of a huge complex, served by a railroad, a highway, and thousands of workers." The complex, being built inside Yamantau mountain by tens of thousands of workers, covers an area the size of the Washington area inside the Beltway. There are reportedly provisions for living inside the man-made caves. There is an underground warehouse for food and clothing, a shelter for the Russian national leadership in case of nulcear war, and rumors that the Yamantau Mountain project was associated with the so-called 'Dead Hand' nuclear retaliatory command and control system for strategic missiles.

[Full article plus map]. Some U.S. analysts believe the secret underground complex beneath Yamantau Mountain betrays a lingering belief among top Russian leaders that they must continue to prepare to fight and win a nuclear war. Russians say they still fear the U.S. Priors on the Record It is now known that the Soviet Union used secret underground bases in Eastern Europe to conceal nuclear missiles at the end of the Cold War, as an integral part of its nuclear war-fighting strategy. In all, some 73 SS-23 missiles, packing a nuclear punch 365 times the bomb that detonated over Hiroshima, were hidden by the Soviets in violation of the INF Treaty, which went into force in June 1988. If war had broken out those missiles would have given the Soviets an overwhelming strategic advantage against the United States, allowing them to decimate NATO forces in Europe in a surprise attack. The last of these missiles will be destroyed by the government of Slovakia, under a grant from the United States. Today, Russia may be conducting nuclear deception on a far vaster scale beneath Yamantau Mountain, where it has dug out a gigantic underground military complex designed to withstand a sustained nuclear assault. A U.S. intelligence source was quoted as saying that the Yamantau complex is but one of some 200 secret deep underground nuclear war-fighting sites in Russia, many of which have been significantly upgraded over the past six years at a cost of billions of dollars. This declassified Defense Intelligence Agency map [right] shows the relative location of the underground Yamantau Mountain complex. Since the end of the Cold War in 1991, U.S. intelligence sources believe the Russian government has pumped more than $6 billion into Yamantau alone, to construct a sprawling underground complex that spans some 400 square miles. In 1998, in a rare public comment, then-Commander of the U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM) Gen. Eugene Habinger, called Yamantau "a very large complex -- we estimate that it has millions of square feet available for underground facilities. We don't have a clue as to what they're doing there." It is believed to be large enough to house 60,000 persons, with a special air filtration system designed to withstand a nuclear, chemical or biological attack. Enough food and water is believed to be stored at the site to sustain the entire underground population for months on end. "The only potential use for this site is post-nuclear war..." --- Rep. Roscoe Bartlett Bartlett is one of the handful of members of Congress who have closely followed the Yamantau project. The Yamantau Mountain complex is located close to one of Russia's remaining nuclear weapons labs, Chelyabinsk-70, giving rise to speculation it could house either a nuclear warhead storage site, a missile base, a secret nuclear weapons production center, a directed energy laboratory or a buried command post. Whatever it is, Yamantau was designed to survive a nuclear war. In response to repeated U.S. inquiries, the Russian government has provided no fewer than 12 separate and contradictory explanations for the site, none of them believed to be credible. A 1997 Congressional Research Service report said that the vast sums invested to build the Yamantau Mountain complex "provide evidence of excessive military modernization in Russia." Russia is pouring money into this and other underground nuclear sites at the same time U.S. taxpayers have provided billions of dollars in aid to Russia to help dismantle nuclear warheads taken off line as a result of START I and START II. "Yamantau Mountain is the largest nuclear-secure project in the world... They have very large train tracks running in and out of it, with enormous rooms carved inside the mountain. It has been built to resist a half dozen direct nuclear hits, one after the other in a direct hole. It's very disquieting that the Russians are doing this when they don't have $200 million to build the service module on the international space station and can't pay housing for their own military people," ---Rep. Bartlett. The Russians have constructed two entire cities over the site, known as Beloretsk 15 & 16, which are closed to the public, each with 30,000 workers. No foreigner has ever set foot near the site. A U.S. military attachÈ stationed in Moscow was turned back when he attempted to visit the region a few years ago. Neither the Central Intelligence Agency nor the Defense Intelligence Agency will comment on what the Russians are doing at Yamantau Mountain. "There's not a lot we could say without venturing into the classified realm," CIA spokesman Mike Mansfield said. "It's hard to discuss it with any specificity." This U.S. satellite photograph of the Yamantau Mountain [left] region was taken on Oct. 16, 1997. Clearly recognizable signs of excavation can be seen at the areas marked Yamantau Mountain and Mezhgorye. Two above-ground support cities, each housing 30,000 workers, are located at Beloretsk and Tirlyanskiy. The very little that is known publicly about the site comes from Soviet-era intelligence officers, who defected to Great Britain and the United States. In public testimony before a House Armed Services Subcommittee last October, KGB defector Col. Oleg Gordievsky said the KGB had maintained a separate, top-secret organization, known as Directorate 15, to build and maintain a network of underground command bunkers for the Soviet leadership -- including the vast site beneath Yamantau Mountain. "And what is interesting was that President Yeltsin and Russia's new democratic leaders are using those facilities, and the same service is still running the same facility, like it was 10, 15 years ago." --- Col. Oleg Gordievsky Yamantau Mountain is so secret that only a handful of Russian government officials knows about it, says Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pa., who speaks Russian and travels frequently to Russia, chairing a congressional working group that discusses strategic issues with counterparts from the Russian Duma. "I ask the Russians about it every time I meet with them... We've never had a straight answer." Weldon got interested in Yamantau Mountain in 1995 when he saw a public report suggesting it was a vast mining project. "I went to Moscow and spoke with the deputy interior minister who was in charge of mining," Weldon says. "I asked him if there was any mining activity there. He just shook his head and said he had never heard of it. So I mentioned the other name the Russians use for it: Mezhgorye. He said he hadn't heard of that either. Then he sent an aide out to check. Twenty minutes later, the aide came back, visibly shaken. He said they couldn't say anything about it." Weldon also met with Andrei Kokoshkin, a former deputy defense minister, in charge of President Yeltsin's National Security Council. "Kokoshkin called it a public works project, and said there was nothing to worry about, since the Defense Ministry had no involvement in it. So I brought out a copy of the Defense Ministry's budget -- it's only a few pages long -- and showed him the line item for Mezhgorye. He smiled and said it must be for bridges, roads and schools. When I then asked if I could see it, he said that could only be arranged through Yeltsin. The site was controlled directly by the president." Weldon then tried sending a 3-page letter to Yeltsin in Russian. "I told him all the things I was trying to do to foster better U.S.-Russia understanding, but said that I couldn't help if they couldn't clear up something as important as this. He never replied." Where's the Money Coming From? The cause for concern is that the US is currently sending hundreds of millions of dollars to Russia, supposedly to help that country dismantle old nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, the Russian parliament has been complaining that it cannot pay $250 million in back wages owed to its workers at the same time that it is spending money to comply with new strategic arms reduction treaties. Aviation Week and Space Technology reported that "It seems the nearly $30 billion a year spent on intelligence hasn't answered the question of what the Russians are up to at Yamantau Mountain in the Urals. The huge underground complex being built there has been the object of U.S. interest since 1992. 'We don't know exactly what it is,' says Ashton Carter, the Pentagon's international security mogul. The facility is not operational, and the Russians have offered 'nonspecific reassurances' that it poses no threat to the U.S." The following is an excerpt from an interview between Chris Ruddy and Col. Stanislav Lunev, a Russian military intelligence officer who defected in 1992.†Col. Stanislav Lunev is the highest-ranking military intelligence officer ever to have defected from Russia. You ask about Yamantau Mountain.†Well, this is a huge underground city, which could be used in time when many Russian cities are destroyed, but the military and political elite will survive and live until our planet will try to restore itself. U.S. law states that the Administration must certify to Congress that any money sent to Russia is used to disarm its nuclear weapons. However, is that the case? If the Russian parliament is complaining of a shortage of funds for nuclear disarmament, then how can Russia afford to build the Yamantau complex? Could American funds be subsidizing a Russian weapons factory? A "doomsday" shelter? Or possibly something even more sinister? We'd like to hear YOUR opinion. Write to myristicin@hotmail.com. The Ural Mountains, which are also called the Stone Belt, extend for 2500 km from the hot Kazakh steppes to the frozen coast of the Arctic Ocean. Geographers divide the Urals into five regions: South, Middle, North, Subarctic and Arctic Urals. The widest part of the Urals is called the South Urals, and comprises dozens of parallel ridges, bounded in the north and in the south by the valleys of Ufalei River and Ural River respectively. Steppe and forest-steppe landscapes are typical of the foothills in this part of the Urals. Higher in the mountains, the hillsides are covered with mixed forests and the highest peaks, like islands, emerge among the green ocean of forest. The highest mountains of the South Urals - Yamantau (1640 m) and Bolshoi Ieremele (1582 m) - are located in the western row of ridges.

Analysis: Southern border as explosive as ever

Two years after Operation Protective Edge, Israel and Hamas ready for next round.

On this day two years ago, one of Israel’s longest wars erupted, and despite the fact that a cease-fire reached with Hamas has held firm, the Gazan border today remains as explosive as ever. In the summer of 2014, the IDF and Hamas in Gaza traded fire for 50 days; Israeli cities came under near daily Hamas rocket attacks, warning sirens rang out and Iron Dome interceptors flooded the skies; IDF ground units moved into the Strip to destroy 34 cross-border tunnels; and the Israel Air Force dropped thousands of bombs at Hamas targets, which had been cynically hidden near residential buildings, hospitals and mosques. According to IDF assessments, the conflict began because Hamas was isolated regionally, following the loss of its Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood ally. Broke financially, Hamas was at risk of losing its grip on power in Gaza, which it had seized in 2007. Today, Hamas’s situation has not changed much. It remains largely isolated, with few regional friends. The Hamas political wing struggles to accept Shi’ite Iran’s demands of loyalty, fearing this will isolate it further from the Sunni powers. The armed wing is less concerned with sectarian politics; it needs money and weapons from Tehran. Meanwhile, Gaza’s economy, held hostage by Hamas, continues on course for collapse. Despite the similarities between then and now, a great deal has changed since July 8, 2014, on both sides of the border. In Gaza, Hamas is working to replenish its rocket stockpiles, through its local arms production industry, while trying to come up with new ways of overwhelming Israel’s Iron Dome air defense batteries, which proved so effective in the last war. One way Hamas hopes to achieve this is by focusing its short-range rocket and mortar fire in more accurate strikes on southern Israeli communities and IDF staging areas. Iron Dome, for its part, may look like its 2014 equivalent, but other than appearance, everything about the groundbreaking system has changed. The batteries can intercept at greater range, deal with larger salvos, and have additional, classified abilities. Hamas has dug a new network of tunnels all across Gaza – two of which were discovered recently using new Israeli technology – and it is building up its naval commando unit. Hamas’s armed wing is gradually seizing power in Gaza at the expense of the political wing. The armed wing is prepared to engage in an endless series of wars against Israel, with intervals in between to regroup and rearm. It seems that Israel has lost patience with this reality, and in any eruption of hostilities will not aim at establishing deterrence, as in past Gaza conflicts, but to destroy Hamas’s “military” wing. That wing has no interest whatsoever in the economic and social welfare of Gazan civilians, and views the Strip only as a fortress of jihad, for which all resources must be directed. Over the past two years, the IDF Southern Command has taken steps to ensure that its ability to deal with the tunnel threat is vastly stronger than in 2014. Advanced tunnel detection technologies are in place. The Southern Command is also constructing a massive underground barrier on the Gazan border, which should be completed within a year and a half, and stymie the tunnel diggers. Operation Protective Edge in 2014 was the IDF’s first network-based war, in which all three military branches – the ground forces, navy and air force, created a common battlefield picture, and integrated with Military Intelligence. For the first time, field commanders had digitally generated maps, in which targets and threats appeared in real-time, as Military Intelligence learned of them. Tank computers communicated with drones. Officials from the IDF’s C4i (Teleprocessing) Corps said these abilities were just the start of a wider network revolution. Further down the line, they say, field commanders will have cloud computing and a range of military applications at their disposal. Hamas, meanwhile, is aware of the IDF’s progress, and is trying to set up surprises of its own. These likely include activating Hamas cells in the Sinai Peninsula, or activating its allies in the Islamic State in Sinai organization, with instructions to fire rockets or launch border attacks on Israel during a war. Hamas could be trying to set up similar options in Lebanon and Syria. Yet, unlike in the summer of 2014, Hamas fears miscalculating and provoking a war with Israel. To that end, it works hard to ignite the West Bank, and seeks to turn Palestinian terrorist attacks that originate there into better organized, more highly armed operations. Back in Gaza, Islamic Jihad, which has approximately 5,000 operatives, has a better rocket launch system than it did in the past. Hamas and Islamic Jihad have improved cooperation with one another, and Hamas has better control of the various terrorist factions that call Gaza home. In an effort to ease conditions for its commanders, Hamas has created new roles. Now they can focus exclusively on fighting Israel. One major change in Gaza since 2014 is the Hamas armed wing’s decision to listen less to the political wing, which it accuses of restraining it during the last round. The Izzadin Kassam Brigades (“military” wing) won’t utterly ignore the political wing, but it has taken independent decisions to cooperate with Iran, work with Islamic State, and focus exclusively on the next phase of the jihad against Israel. Figures such as Ismael Haniyeh may attract headlines with fiery Friday sermons in the mosques, but it is armed wing chiefs like Muhammad Def and Yahya Sinwar who really run Gaza. They are building up the elite Nuhba force, which accounts for a quarter of Hamas’s 20,000 fighters. Many are trained to enter Israel through tunnels in murder squads. Over in Israel, the IDF is implementing a new defensive program for Gaza border communities, and has drawn up plans for full-scale military victory over Hamas in the event of war. All the battalions under the Southern Command now train heavily in urban warfare, logistics and preparing for war with Hamas. Meanwhile, the Southern Command’s Fire Control Center is honing its capability to destroy Gaza’s internal tunnel network with precision- guided firepower. The Combat Engineering Corps’ elite Yahalom unit has a subsection the size of a brigade, which has new, classified abilities to detect and destroy tunnels. Before 2014, Israel found Gazan tunnels through random searches. This is no longer the case. This fact alone may increase deterrence against Hamas, or, eventually, push it to do something reckless.

Analysis: 10 years after latest Lebanon War, next one will be far more brutal

Expert: Destruction during the next war with Hezbollah promises to be even greater than in 2006

As the 10th anniversary of the July 2006 Lebanon War approaches, tensions remain high in Lebanon in anticipation of a next round, which could much more severely disrupt the country as a functioning state this time around. Due to regional and internal political conditions in Lebanon, that country would fare far worse after a devastating round of Israeli attacks targeting Hezbollah and state infrastructure. Lebanon is already suffering a refugee crisis with 1.5 million Syrians among its population of 4.5 million, giving the country the highest per capita refugee count in the world, according to a New York Times report earlier this month. In addition, Hezbollah’s war to prop up Syrian President Bashar Assad has led to a spillover of the sectarian conflict into the country. Moreover, Hezbollah is more powerful inside the country now than it was in 2006 – so much so that Saudi Arabia has cut off military aid and the Gulf states have imposed sanctions on Hezbollah. Tony Badran, a Lebanon expert and research fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told The Jerusalem Post in addition to the refugee situation resulting from the ongoing war in Syria, “the level of destruction during the next war with Hezbollah promises to be even greater than in 2006, as Hezbollah military infrastructure is dispersed in civilian areas, which will now be treated as military targets.” “What’s more, Syria is no longer a safe haven for Shi’ite refugees,” he said. It took Hezbollah several years to complete reconstruction in Shi’ite areas destroyed in the second Lebanon war. “Now, unlike in 2006,” Badran said, “it is not necessarily a given that Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Arab states will rush to donate money for reconstruction.” Saudi abruptly cut $3 billion in military aid and $1b. to the security services in February. The Saudi action was triggered by Lebanon’s failure to join other Arab governments in condemning attacks earlier this year on the Saudi embassy in Tehran. Saudi Arabia spearheaded efforts to get Gulf Arab states and the Arab League to designate Hezbollah a terrorist organization, which led to reports of Lebanese nationals being forced to leave Gulf countries because of alleged Hezbollah links. Various statements by senior IDF officials in recent years have threatened to deliver a blow in the next war against Hezbollah more devastating than the destruction wrought on the Lebanese state the last time around. For example, Israeli Air Force chief Maj.-Gen. Amir Eshel warned in 2014 that “thousands” of Hezbollah bases in residential buildings would be destroyed in a future conflict, even at the cost of civilian lives. “We will have to deal aggressively with thousands of Hezbollah bases that threaten the State of Israel and mainly our interior,” Eshel said in a speech, citing Beirut, the Bekaa Valley and southern Lebanon among the locations of the bases. “And that is where the war will be. That is where we will have to fight in order to stop it and win. Whoever stays in these bases will simply be hit and will risk their lives. Whoever goes out will live.” The Post contacted numerous Lebanese citizens for this article; all but one refused to comment because of the risk involved and the ban on contacts with Israel. One anonymous source from Beirut told the Post, “First, I hope there will be no future war – not least as it will be destructive for both sides. Secondly, I think the repercussions of the 2006 war are more dramatic than the mere casualties that occurred.” This, continued the source, is because Lebanese see the Israeli government as preparing in a more deliberate and calculated manner to wage another war, “in contrast to previous decades when the decision to go to war was more whimsical and hardly ever planned for in an educated manner.” “I am not even sure why the Israeli government would want to go to war with Lebanon at this stage. There is no clear conflict at this point in time after the withdrawal and prisoners’ release. Would the Israeli government want to attack us just because Hezbollah is arming up more heavily?” Asked if the feeling is another war is coming, the Beirut resident responded that it does not seem likely since both sides prefer not to wage war now. “No one is thirsty for war [here],” said the source. Mentioning that the Israeli government sees Hezbollah as the enemy not the Lebanese people, the source responded, “The Lebanese don’t trust that because the Israeli governments are famous for their disproportionate response and collective punishment.” Badran went on to point out that in a future war, Lebanon will be hit much harder because of how Hezbollah has effectively turned much of the country into a military base. “Hezbollah has effectively painted a target on the back of Lebanon, both with its ongoing war in Syria as well as in a future war with Israel.” Reuters contributed to this report.

Escaping Death’s Shadow

By Hal Lindsey

It’s one of the most memorable verses from probably the most beloved Psalm. Perhaps you can recite the words from memory. “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.…” (Psalm 23:4 KJV) As a writer, I look at those words with astonishment. In just a few phrases, they convey some of the most compelling imagery ever put on paper. They project the sense of a dark valley, and the claustrophobia of knowing you have no escape. Shadows are ethereal, but they represent something solid, real, and close. The shadow’s shape replicates the thing that obscures the light. And when the shadow moves, it gives a sense of danger in the darkness. Some shapes can be especially scary — a man, a hand, a knife in a hand. In this case, the shadow’s shape is that of death itself. Death casts its shadow into all parts of our lives. From the moment you first realize you will one day die — a moment too early in life for most of us to remember — death casts its shadow over you. In that sense, we all walk in the valley of the shadow of death, and we walk there our entire lives. Sometimes the shadow of death looms larger and darker than usual. The doctor gives you bad news, or a loved one dies. We grieve for the one who is gone and for everyone who will miss that person. But our grieving often carries with it a sad remembrance of our own mortality. Death is normal, and we know it. Hebrews 2:15 says that the fear of death can be a lifelong form of slavery. Hebrews 9:27 calls death an appointment for every human being; an appointment to be followed by judgment. It begins to look as if the valley of the shadow of death is a box canyon. But at this point, the scripture tells us something amazing. Not everyone dies. The passages we often call “the begets” in the Bible, have a redundancy that causes most people to begin to scan for more interesting material. But that redundancy tells us something important. They usually follow this pattern. “Seth lived one hundred and five years, and begot Enosh. After he begot Enosh, Seth lived eight hundred and seven years, and had sons and daughters. So all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years; and he died.” (Genesis 5:6-8 NKJV) That’s how they end. “And he died.” The people of early Genesis lived amazingly long lives. But it didn’t matter in the end, because almost every beget ends with, “and he died.” That’s right. I said, “Almost.” They don’t all end that way. Hidden in the “the begets” is a man who broke the pattern. His name was Enoch. “So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.” (Genesis 5:23-24 NASB) He didn’t die. God just took him away. It was an anomaly, but a telling one. Something like it happened again later in the Old Testament. Instead of dying, the prophet Elijah “went up by a whirlwind to heaven.’” (2 Kings 2:11 NASB) Could these two biblical precedents hold any meaning for us? 1 Corinthians 15:51-53 in the New Living Translation says, “But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed. For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies.” This is a beautiful description of the Rapture of the Church. What wonderful news! “We will not all die!” Those who are in Christ at the time of the rapture will be snatched away with Him. But as we wait for that event, Christian believers die. In the words of King David, they “go the way of all the earth.” (1 Kings 2:2) Death looms before us. So how do we escape the fear of it? Go back to the 23rd Psalm. “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me.” There is a reason we should “fear no evil.” It’s because He is with us. He promises never to leave us nor forsake us. The LORD promises us that there is no reason to fear death and here is why, “For we know if this earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan earnestly desiring our habitation from heaven, if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by (eternal) life. Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the (Holy) Spirit as a guarantee. Therefore we are always confident that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the LORD. We are confident, yes, to be well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the LORD.” (1 Corinthians 5:1-8 NKJ) God is waiting to bring us home with Him. So let us have the same expectation as the Apostle Paul, “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” (Philippians 1:21 NKJ If we die before the Rapture, God gives us temporary clothing so we can be present with Him. He then raises us in the Rapture and gives us our immortal body. Praise the LORD ! Who’s afraid now? We have God’s eternal promise. And the Holy Spirit is His guarantee !

Nine dead in China as remnants of super typhoon Nepartak strike

Nepartak, the first typhoon of the season in China, destroyed close to 1,900 houses, affecting 203,000 residents in 10 cities, the Ministry of Civil Affairs said late last night.

By: PTI | Bejing | Updated: July 11, 2016 11:38 am

Nine people were killed and 18 are missing after wind and driving rain bought by the remains of super typhoon Nepartak swept into China over the weekend, the government said on Monday. The deaths were all in the southeastern province of Fujian, where the typhoon made landfall, the civil affairs ministry said in a statement on its website. Total economic damage has been put at 900 million yuan ($134.60 million), with 16,000 hectares (40,000 acres) of crops destroyed and more than 900 houses wrecked, the ministry said. In Taiwan, the storm caused at least three deaths and more than 300 injuries. The storm is expected to worsen already severe flooding in parts of central and eastern China as its remnants slowly make their way inland. Typhoons are common at this time of year in the South China Sea, picking up strength over warm waters and dissipating over land. Typhoons used to kill many people in China but the government now enforces evacuations and takes precautions well in advance, which has helped save many lives.

More than 200 killed in S. Sudan, raising fear of civil war

By Jacey Fortin New York Times July 10, 2016

JUBA, South Sudan — Armed clashes between two political factions and waves of heavy gunfire spread across South Sudan’s capital Sunday, a day after the nation’s fifth anniversary of its independence. The renewed violence broke a short calm after fighting that erupted Friday in the capital, Juba. At least 150 people were killed Friday, and about 60 more people died in fighting Sunday, the Associated Press reported, citing Budbud Chol, who oversees security at a clinic in the base. “We have civilian casualties. We have rocket-propelled grenades that have landed in the camp which has wounded eight people,’’ Chol told the AP. Among the wounded were five children and two women while the rest were men, he said. Radio Tamazuj, a local news outlet, said as many as 270 people may have died so far. Military helicopters swooped over Juba and armored vehicles rolled through streets, witnesses said. People took shelter in their homes and hid beneath their beds as the sounds of guns and heavier weapons rose, fell, and rose again. “We are fighting at Gudele, Rock City, and Jebel,” said William Gatjiath Deng, a spokesman for Vice President Riek Machar, referring to neighborhoods and suburbs of Juba. “There are a lot of bodies; I can’t even count them.” Each side blamed the other for initiating the new outburst of violence. Michael Makuei, South Sudan’s information minister, said President Salva Kiir would soon declare a “unilateral cease-fire.” South Sudan is trying to emerge from a two-year civil war caused by political rivalry between Machar and Kiir. A similar skirmish in December 2013 sparked the civil war, which killed tens of thousands of people. The United Nations peacekeeping mission in the country wrote on Twitter that a “heavily armed exchange” had occurred near its base around 8:30 a.m. “The heavy artillery has been continuing since morning,” said Shantal Persaud, a spokeswoman for the mission. “The civilians have not been able to move from our accommodation” at the mission’s base near Jebel. Even as people sought refuge in their homes, witnesses reported that officers were knocking on doors in some neighborhoods, checking identity cards. Factions of the South Sudanese army loyal to Kiir and those backing Machar, who until this year led a rebellion against the government, have been fighting throughout the capital since Thursday, when the two sides confronted each other at a roadside checkpoint. Five government soldiers were killed in those exchanges. Fighting broke out again Friday as the two leaders were meeting. The United States said it had met with representatives of the South Sudanese leadership Saturday and had received assurances that the fighting would stop. The United States helped engineer South Sudan’s independence from Sudan and still wields influence in the country. On Sunday, however, gunfire erupted again, spreading to different parts of the capital, including near the main army barracks and Juba International Airport. ‘This violence is unacceptable and has the potential of reversing the progress made so far in the peace process.’ Ban Ki-moon, UN secretary general Quote Icon In New York, the UN Security Council held an emergency meeting Sunday to address the South Sudan crisis. In an e-mail, J. Peter Pham, director of the Africa Center at the Atlantic Council in Washington, said it was unclear how much sway Kiir and Machar and other faction leaders in the “so-called transition government” had over their fighters. “Between the collapse of oil prices and the destruction they themselves wrought in the civil war, South Sudan is so destitute that there are no resources with which the country’s rulers might employ to bring their followers to heel,” Pham said. The opposition side blamed government forces for starting the fighting Sunday morning with an attack on a rebel base in the Jebel area of the capital. Three helicopter gunships bombed rebel camps, said rebel spokesman William Gatjiath Deng, the AP reported. South Sudan’s army confirmed the Sunday clashes but it is not clear how the fighting started, said army spokesman Lul Ruai Koang. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon condemned the fighting. ‘‘I am shocked and appalled by the heavy fighting that is currently taking place in Juba. I strongly urge President Kiir and First Vice-President Riek Machar to do everything within their power to de-escalate the hostilities immediately and to order their respective forces to disengage and withdraw to their bases,’’ said Ban. ‘‘This senseless violence is unacceptable and has the potential of reversing the progress made so far in the peace process,’’ Ban said. Ban confirmed that UN compounds and sites to protect civilians in Juba have been caught in the cross-fire. About 10,000 Juba residents fled neighborhoods where there was fighting, said Jeremiah Young, policy adviser for World Vision in South Sudan. ‘‘We have seen quite a few individuals packing up and leaving, trying to find shelter, what look like a lot of civilians taking off down the street, carrying their suitcases, their children,’’ he told the AP. The fighting on Sunday appeared to be mainly in two areas: Jebel, where there is an opposition base and a UN base that houses thousands of internally displaced people, and in Gudele, where the rebels have another opposition base, including Machar’s compound. There were huge explosions in Gudele and people were fleeing by foot. ‘‘The situation in Juba has significantly deteriorated,’’ the United States embassy said. ‘‘There is serious fighting between government and opposition forces, including near the airport, UN mission locations, Jebel and elsewhere throughout Juba.’’ Radio Tamazuj, a local news outlet, said as many as 270 people may have died so far. Military helicopters swooped over Juba and armored vehicles rolled through streets, witnesses said. People took shelter in their homes and hid beneath their beds as the sounds of guns and heavier weapons rose, fell, and rose again. “We are fighting at Gudele, Rock City, and Jebel,” said William Gatjiath Deng, a spokesman for Vice President Riek Machar, referring to neighborhoods and suburbs of Juba. “There are a lot of bodies; I can’t even count them.” Each side blamed the other for initiating the new outburst of violence.

When the Election Is Stolen, Snipers Will Be on the Roof to Execute Peaceful Protesters

At the risk of sounding like Karl Marx, the super elite have simply been murdering protesters, around the world as the planet is falling under a de facto state of martial law. The super elite are clearly not serving the needs of the people, they are serving their selfish desires to help themselves to the resources of the people. And when the people object, they are being summarily executed in increasing numbers. Just the sheer number of instances and the brutality in which freedom-loving people are being eliminated can speak to nothing else but this is a coordinated effort between and among the super elite on the planet to kill protesters by placing snipers on the roof. Here are examples of where it is has been happening around the world. And soon it will be coming to America in the midst of our present civil unrest as this will be discussed in the latter part of the article with the passage of little known riot control methods as per the military, yes the military, not local law enforcement.

The Ukraine

Photographed by journalists from Voice of Ukraine, we see pro-Russian forces firing upon unarmed protesters. The pro-Yanukovich forces are pictured above on a rooftop of an Ukrainian house on January, 22, 2014, firing upon unarmed protesters. According to Ukrainian journalists, working for the Voice of Ukraine, this is very common occurrence in which untold numbers of protesters are being murdered on a daily basis. Egypt Here in Egypt, government forces are displaying their favorite tactic in dealing with an unhappy citizenry.

Syria The Syrian civil war is known for its extreme brutality and mindless oppression. Here is footage of snipers on the roof, Syrian style, only this time, the sniper receives..

Venezuela News emanating from Venezuelan protesters is consistently revealing that government forces in Venezuela are summarily executing its citizens from motorcycles and this strategy started two years ago. Authorities are also breaking down doors of apartment buildings and murdering “suspected” protesters. As a result, protesters are being murdered by the Venezuelan government without trial. Some citizens, who are luckier than most are simply being arrested for “suspicion” of protest and hauled away without any due process of law. Recently, government opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez surrendered to governmental authorities. He is charged with inciting violence and opposition to the government. His arrest led to even more protesting. Venezuelan citizen, Gauber Venot, stated “It’s important we have foreign media here. Our media is censored; we learn about our own country from outside sources.” So is ours Mr. Venot, so is ours. And America should pay attention because Loretta Lynch(mob’s) proclamation that any criticism of “Muslim extremism” will be opposed by her office. Of course, this is Venezuela and this could never happen in America. Perhaps one might want to revise this consideration in light of recently released American military documents. The United States I think the public has a right to know how its government plans to handle future protests. Is America the new Venezuela, Egypt, or Ukraine? RIOT FORMATIONS

H-42. Quick-reaction force teams should be established with a minimum response time. Because of the physical nature of riot control, individuals in riot control formations should not carry rifles. Nonlethal attachments should follow closely behind the riot control formation. Lethal coverage must be provided for this entire formation. (See FM 3-22.40.)

DESIGNATED MARKSMEN

H-43. During a nonlethal engagement, the use of designated marksmen provides confidence and safety to those facing a riot. If a lethal threat is presented, the designated marksmen in overwatch positions (armed with appropriate sniper weapons mounted with high-powered scopes) can scan a crowd and identify agitators and riot leaders for apprehension and fire lethal rounds if warranted. Additionally, they are ideally suited for flank security and countersniper operations. (See FM 3-22.40.). These were leaked to the public just over two years ago, however, they did not receive the attention that I thought they deserved. Today, we have a whole different context. Riots are becoming part of the American landscape on a daily basis since the murder of the give Dallas police officers. I want you to stop and ponder, when the BLM, George Soros inspired riots grow in number and in intensity and the “National Guard”, operating under this relatively new authority begin to shoot BLM members in riot situations, what will this do to the racial tensions in America? Plans for the People of the United States When this happens, at a protest under these new guidelines, what will the reaction be? I am hard pressed to make this comparison any more clear. The parallels speak clearly for themselves. What will be the flash point where the “new” American policy in dealing with protesters will turn deadly? It is undoubtedly going to be the contrived racial confrontations involving law enforcement and BLM around the country. This will undoubtedly lead to martial law when groups like the BLM feel justified and empowered to retaliate. When this happens, no policeman in America will be safe, nor will their families. Once the military is engaged and replaces the National Guard in restoring order, the NWO will have won. The country will be in complete lock down. The Next Flash-point of Sniper Violence Could Result from the Upcoming Election Assuming we are permitted to have an election, and it is stolen, as the criminal elite will no doubt try to do. under the new riot control rules, will protesters be met with deadly force? And if you say “no way, that cannot happen in America”, then ask yourself why these new regulations would be in place if the establishment wasn’t planning on using them? Once the country is under lock down, and then for our good, they will be coming after our guns. The criminal elite have every intention of ushering crooked Hillary Clinton into the White House, and our protests will be met with deadly force, followed by gun confiscation. Conclusion Executing protesters has become a global phenomena. This practice is on the verge of coming to America and BLM, being manipulated by Soros, will serve as the impetus. FM 3-22.4 could likely be employed against BLM which would send this country into a frenzy. In the second wave of application of this regulation, this regulation could be employed when Americans protest a stolen election. If these two very distinct possibilities occur, then there is no limit as to how far this could spin out of control. By November, we could be soon living in a country where the phrase “Black Lives Matter” will be replaced by “American Lives Matter”. To all who think that BLM is acting appropriately and the use of violence is justified, you will soon realize that violence begets more violence and it will be used as the excuse to place this country under martial law and under the brutal dictatorship of Hillary Clinton. All of America has a common enemy and it is not persons who are from a different race as you. It is the criminal elite who have purposely pitted one race against another in order to create the conditions of America’s demise and subsequent take-over.

Retired US Lt. General Warns America In Grave Danger Of Collapse As Country Reaches 4th Stage Of 5 In 'Cycle Of Insurgency'

Will BLM Terror Lead To Major Crackdown Then An Explosion Of The 'Powder Keg'?

July 11, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

Back in April of 2014, a story came out from the Business Insider telling us that the US military's 'top spy' was being forced out of his post by the Obama administration after a series of clashes over his 'leadership-style' angered those within the administration. Lt. General Michael T. Flynn was the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, an agency which he took over in July of 2012, and according to this story from Pamela Geller over at Atlas Shrugged, the REAL reason that Flynn was forced out was because he called our enemies 'radical jihadis'. In fact, Flynn was not afraid of speaking up about the dangers that Islam poses to America and the entire free world. Since Flynn's removal, his warnings have proven to be nearly spot on as very soon after the attacks on Paris, France, before which Barack Obama claimed ISIS was the "JV team' and they were 'contained', we learned that what happens in Paris doesn't stay in Paris and, according to Flynn back then, "the current administrations policies are 100% wrong." In fact, prior to Paris, back in August of 2015 Flynn said in an interview with Al Jazeera TV that "we knew something like ISIS was coming - and we screwed it up." The fact that Flynn was way ahead of the game in giving those warnings should tell us a number of things - it should also be a huge warning when we listen to Flynn in the new video below in which he tells us that he is very concerned that America is headed towards total collapse. Telling us that the greatest strength that America has had up until now, the rule of law, is being eroded, we hear in this video that Flynn is also now being heavily vetted by the Trump administration to be his potential Vice Presidential pick. While we may not agree with all of Flynn's policies (nor Trumps for that matter), it's clear that Flynn has no problem at all calling a kettle 'black'. In this day and age of political correctness with Hillary Clinton recently saying 'white people' have to change, Flynn reminds us here that there is only ONE race that we should now be concerned about, the HUMAN race. Flynn also tells us why not defining our enemy has come back to haunt America and humanity. From a story written by Flynn over at the New York Post.: Two years ago, I was called into a meeting with the undersecretary of defense for intelligence and the director of national intelligence, and after some “niceties,” I was told by the USDI that I was being let go from DIA. It was definitely an uncomfortable moment (I suspect more for them than me). I asked the DNI (Gen. James Clapper) if my leadership of the agency was in question and he said it was not; had it been, he said, they would have relieved me on the spot. I knew then it had more to do with the stand I took on radical Islamism and the expansion of al Qaeda and its associated movements. I felt the intel system was way too politicized, especially in the Defense Department. After being fired, I left the meeting thinking, “Here we are in the middle of a war, I had a significant amount of combat experience (nearly five years) against this determined enemy on the battlefield and served at senior levels, and here it was, the bureaucracy was letting me go.” Amazing. As we learn more below this video, America is now in grave danger after 'black lives matter' and others have come out with threats of violence against whites and officers of the law, giving 'tyranny' even more of an opportunity to 'crack down' upon us as our country reaches the 4th stage out of 5 in the 'cycle of insurgency'. What happens next, if we keep heading in this direction, is something that we pray NEVER comes to be in America. While some might believe that America is far too big and will never collapse we have to warn you - not only are we closing in on collapse but we now have proof that we have reached the 4th stage out of the 5 stages in the 'cycle of insurgency'. In a story called "What Happens After Cops Start Getting Shot?" we're warned that the next phase in this 'cycle of insurgency' is 'open insurrection'. After the cowardly attacks upon law enforcement officers across the country and more threats that similar events will happen still, we're closing in on a stage long warned of by ANP and the alternative media and a stage that will signify that America has reached a very dangerous new place - open revolt and rebellion against authority. From the Anti-Media story we see the 'cycle of insurgency' explained.: Pamphlets: Prior to the digital age, pamphlets were the main method of spreading dissent around the world. The pamphlets examined and questioned the authority of the contemporary governments and control systems. In the modern world, pamphlets have been replaced by blogs, memes, social media, and to a smaller degree, adversarial journalists. Reactive Protests: Once the seed of dissent is planted, people take to the streets to voice their opposition to the government. These protests occur after the control systems of the era attempt to diffuse an offending incident. Preemptive Rioting: Preemptive rioting follows a period of reactive protests that go unanswered by the government. The people begin taking to the streets and destroying private and public property as soon as an offending incident takes place, rather than waiting and hoping for the government to police itself. Military or Law Enforcement backlash and crackdowns: These riots and small incidents of resistance trigger a government reaction. The control systems of the country tighten their grip on the people and further curtail civil liberties and infringe on people’s rights. The government crackdown fuels the resistance movement as more people tire of government intrusion. Widespread rebellion and insurrection: At some point during the crackdown, an incident occurs that tosses a match into the powder keg of dissent. At this point, open rebellion occurs. Do the recent events in Dallas prove that we are now closing in on the final stage? While ANP stands strongly against the widespread government corruption that we have witnessed in America under the Obama administration and stand strongly against what we're sure that a Hillary Clinton administration would bring this country, we stand strongly in favor of the 'rule of law' that Flynn spoke of in the video above. It is only by returning to the rule of law that America can return to its proper place as one of the greatest nations in the world. However, we also freely admit there are countless laws that leave Americans imprisoned for 'victimless' crimes that should probably be done away with. While across the country, 'politically correct politicians' and much of the mainstream media have been incorrectly elevating 'black lives matter' while putting law enforcement falsely into the position of being on the 'wrong side', the new video below from Real Life Hero's tell a few of the stories that the MSM isn't telling us. "Where Police Meet Humanity & Heroism - Part 2" shows us that cops are just as human as any other member of society and the huge majority of them serve their communities dilligently, day to day, week to week, month to month and year to year without so much as a word from the MSM. Part 1 of this video was watched by over 2.5 million people; part 2 below was recently emailed to ANP by Real Life Hero's. In this very difficult time for America, we thank those within law enforcement nationwide - as we learn below, America needs you more now than ever. We'll close this story with one more excerpt from the Anti-Media story which helps to tell us why it's so important that we return to the 'rule of law' in America. For not to do so, we go the way of all failed nation states - and if we think that what we've been witnessing in the breakdown of our society in the past several years has been unbearable we have to warn you, we probably haven't seen anything yet. We pray that the warnings below of what may come if we continue as a nation down this path help to prevent this dire scenario from ever coming to pass. As Prepper Fortress told us today, "If Senseless Violence Continues, America Will Be A Total 'Police State' In No Time". From the Anti-Media story: Certainly, departments all over the country will be issuing memos explaining the new security procedures to counter the threat of targeted killings. Some officers may have already received one. Allow me to guess its contents. The memo suggests riding in pairs, only answering a call once back up has arrived, sitting at separate tables when you eat in a restaurant, and performing all actions as a team to provide greater security. I’d be willing to bet that the phrase “safety in numbers” is somewhere in the memo. These tactics will all fail. The attackers will simply upgrade from firearms to pipe bombs. An even worse scenario is that officers do succeed in making themselves too difficult to attack. The insurgents will stop targeting cops and begin targeting their families while the officers are at work. This is what has happened in every insurgency in history. It is extremely important to note that in all of recorded history, an insurgency that matured through the phases and reached this stage has never been quelled through force. Ever. It may have been delayed, but the insurgency simply went underground until opposition forces relaxed. In some cases it took 800 years to achieve an insurgent victory. Once an insurgency reaches this stage, it wins. It is that simple. See: Irish Republic Army. At this point, in a form of bizarre just deserts, the only option law enforcement has is the same option it offered to the American people, which prompted this cycle: comply or die. Please, post this article to your local police department’s Facebook page. While many may be cheering the idea of open insurrection, most do not understand the casualties and hardships associated with an insurgency. Since the federal government is unwilling to intercede, it is up to the American citizen to try to stop this from occurring. We have to take responsibility and stop the scenarios laid out above from happening.

EXCLUSIVE–New Black Panther Leader: Blacks Need to Migrate to Five Southern States, Form ‘Country Within a Country’

by Aaron Klein10 Jul 2016

Babu Omowale, the so-called national minister of defense for the People’s New Black Panther Party, says his group and allied organizations have their sights set on establishing “our own government in a nation within a nation.” Omowale was speaking in an interview set to air Sunday night on this reporter’s talk radio program, “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio,” broadcast on New York’s AM 970 The Answer and News Talk 990 AM in Philadelphia. Omowale used the interview to claim five states as belonging to the “Black Nation”: Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Alabama, and Georgia. The revolutionary stated: “We just need to start migrating back to those states and taking control of the economics in those states. If black people move in, most definitely white people will move out. So it’s not a hard process for us to have our own country within a country.” Omowale is also co-founder of the Huey P. Newton Gun Club, a black militant gun group named after Black Panther Party founder Huey P. Newton. According to reports, Dallas shooter Micah X. Johnson “liked” the Huey P. Newton Gun Club and Omawale has said that he recognized Johnson from black community events in Dallas. Asked by this reporter what his group’s endgame is, Omowale replied: The end game is land ownership. The endgame is our own government in a nation within a nation. Okay. So we claim the states of Louisiana, we claim the states of Mississippi, we claim the states of South Carolina, we claim the states of Alabama, and we claim the states of Georgia. We just need to start migrating back to those states and taking control of the economics in those states. If black people move in, most definitely white people will move out. So it’s not a hard process for us to have our own country within a country. For now, however, Omowale says the goals are more short-term: There is no way that we can totally separate ourselves in the United States of America and we are aware of that. We know that we are owed land, we are owed monies, we are owed restitutions and we are owed reparations. That’s going to be a continuing process. What we are saying right now is we want to control the economics in our community. We want to control the black dollars. The money that goes in, the money that goes out. We want to control the politics in our community. If a politician is not bringing anything to the table for the betterment of that community, we are not going to vote for these particular people. And we most definitely want to control the education. What our people are learning in what we call the public fool system, not school system, where they are teaching and misrepresenting the true history of the black man here in the United States. The Huey P. Newton Gun Club says on its website it is seeking to “develop over time to a regimented Black Army.” “Our mission is to educate the masses of black people on the necessity of self,” states the website. “That includes self-preservation, self-defense, and self-sufficiency through militant culture.” “We want freedom. We want the power to practice self-determination, and to determine the destiny of our community and THE BLACK NATION.”

The U.S. Federal Government under both the Bush and Obama administration has made it perfectly clear that in the event of almost any major disaster scenario, including economic and environmental, they see the institution of Martial Law as not only viable, but inexorable. From legislative actions like the Patriot Act and the Enemy Belligerents Act (currently in committee) to continuity of government programs such as Rex 84 (formerly classified) and Presidential Directive PDD 51 (currently classified, even from Congress), all the “legal” precedents have been put into place to allow the Executive Branch to implement military oversight of civilian affairs, dissolution of Constitutional liberties, even the end of Miranda Rights and the right to a speedy impartial trial as protected under the Sixth Amendment. In some cases, government legislation allows for the rendition and torture of American citizens as combatants, all for the “greater good”, of course… Some in this country dismiss such bills and directives as abstract novelties that does not constitute any real threat to our freedoms or our daily life. People have a tendency to assume that the atmosphere we live in today will remain the same tomorrow and always. Many of us never consider that dramatic, even violent change in American domestic policy is possible on a moment’s notice. On the contrary, the continuity legislation now in place shows that our government under the direction of corporate globalists is not only prepared to implement a military lockdown of this country, they fully anticipate that such an event will occur in the near future. In this article, we will examine how Martial Law will be presented to the citizens of the U.S., how it would likely evolve and progress, and what the ultimate end result will be if such action is not stopped by the Liberty Movement and the American public. A “Reasonable” Tyranny Tyranny does not always burst through your front door wearing body armor and brandishing an assault rifle. Sometimes, it waltzes through your living room and sweeps you off your feet. Sometimes it wears a glad mask that promises warmth and safety. Sometimes, tyranny invites you out to the party and makes you feel like you belong. NEVER leave your drink unattended around tyranny… Regardless of how apathetic the American public may seem at any given moment, the majority of them at their core hate false authority backed by thuggish jackboot mentality when directly faced with it, and will not capitulate to despotism easily. That’s just the way we are. Revolution is in our blood (though now slightly diluted), and it is an undeniable aspect of our national psyche. Widespread and immediate military control of U.S. streets would be met with a fury the world has never seen. If martial law were ever to be achieved by the Federal Government, it would have to be presented to Americans gradually, as absolutely reasonable and necessary to their personal well being not to mention that of their family’s. Globalists would have to twist the reality of martial law into a tapestry of fuzzy logic and two dimensional rationalizations, making the action appear almost mathematically evident. They would also need a crisis on a scale nearly beyond belief. The U.S. is on the verge of many such crises. The economic health of this country is blatantly unstable, and even some mainstream analysts who called us “fear mongers” six months ago are now reluctantly admitting that some form of collapse is probable. The financial life of America hangs by the thinnest of threads, and any moderate disaster at this stage will most definitely send it spiraling out of control. These scenarios do not include the ever present threat of government sponsored false flag terrorism, which could exacerbate social tensions one hundred fold. A 9/11 scale attack, perhaps even nuclear in origin, would assuredly be followed by a declaration of martial law. Under circumstances like these, people tend to allow their fear to dictate what is “reasonable” at the moment. Principles often take a back seat to “moral relativity” in the face of misfortune, even though wisdom demands that principles be held as most important in the worst of times. Freedom and civilian control over government are vital not just when our wallets are stuffed, our stomachs are fed, and the weather is mild, but when the threat of national upheaval hangs in the sky like a sun-baked vulture. When an early and unpleasant demise becomes a distinct possibility for a significant majority of the citizenry, this is when liberty should take precedence over all things. One argument is always presented by tyrants and their flock during the initial stages social enslavement: “You can’t enjoy freedom if you are dead. It is always better to be alive, no matter the cost.” However, what they fail to mention is that it is exceedingly difficult to enjoy being alive when you are a modern feudal peasant whose destiny is subject to the whim of power hungry corporatists and madmen. There is nothing meaningful in that kind of life, just as there is nothing meaningful in the life of a cog in a great machine except to turn around and around. You can’t enjoy freedom if you are dead, but you also can’t enjoy living if you’re not free. At the beginning of any autocratic system, total authoritarian control is almost always presented as a panacea, a wonder-drug for the masses. When confronted with epic struggle, some people would rather defer responsibility for their survival to someone else rather than make the effort to save themselves, and thus, totalitarianism is born. Martial law in America would be no different. It will be presented to us as purely rational and absolutely necessary; an “extreme solution to extreme times”. Its success would rest solely on how many of us are willing to make the effort to determine our own destinies, and how many of us are too cowardly to do so. Consequences Of Martial Law Regardless of how well governments sugarcoat the prospect of martial law at its introduction, after it has been instituted, it doesn’t take very long for the people to realize they have been duped. The consequences of a militarized society cannot be hidden after the fact, nor does the establishment feel the need to hide those consequences after they have been handed unlimited power. To peer into the future of what American martial law might look like, one need only research the history of martial law and dictatorships in general. From the Philippines to China to the Soviet Union, the stages of tyranny are pretty much the same no matter where you are in the world. Anyone who believes martial law in America will forgo any of these terrible steps, or that we will somehow maintain a sense of propriety and fairness, is going to be sorely disappointed. Free Press Destroyed: The very first action of any government that has achieved military control of a country is to dominate the flow of information. The greatest threat to elitist domination is usually the people who they mean to rule over. Ending freedom of the press stalls chances that a view that opposes government control will gain footing. In America, the mainstream media is already under globalist control and would likely remain active during martial law, at least for a time. FOX, CNN, CNBC, etc, would change little, while the true free press (alternative web news which now dominates over the ratings of mainstream media) would be attacked, if not shut down completely. Government enforced web filters (like those in China and being legislated in Australia) could be put in place, and arrests of citizen journalists are liable to occur. Dissolution Of Checks And Balances: In some cases, military rule allows for the dissolution of states rights and even of Congress itself. If Congress is allowed to remain, it would be in a ceremonial capacity only. Under martial law, all decision making is “streamlined” into the hands of the executive branch. The excuse given for this is often the same everywhere; the President (dictator) must not have his hands tied by checks and balances during a state of crisis, otherwise, his decisions are slowed, and more people could be hurt. Once the executive branch of a country removes checks and balances, they almost never put them back willingly, even after the so-called “crisis” has subsided. Erasure Of Civil Liberties: Say goodbye to Habeas Corpus immediately. All tyrannies have abruptly suspended rights to fair trial, rights to legal representation, Miranda Rights, even the right to know what one has been charged with before being arrested. This process quickly devolves the justice system to the point where those who are detained simply disappear, and are never heard from again. The U.S. currently has many pieces of legislation that have passed or are pending which allow rendition and even torture of regular citizens, specifically in the event of a national emergency, which under current rules, the President can declare at his leisure. Curfews, Checkpoints, Searches, Citizen Spies: Say goodbye to privacy. Expect ID checkpoints, and arrests for lack of ID. Expect nighttime curfews in cities enforced with extreme prejudice. Expect warrant-less searches of your home without cause, not to mention surveillance of web and phone traffic. Also count on the fact that some people, out of paranoia, or out of some twisted desire for petty influence, will start pointing an accusing finger at anyone who looks at them the wrong way, and the establishment will encourage this. Tyranny is much easier when the citizens police each other. We actually see some of this behavior today, however, under martial law, there is absolutely no chance whatsoever of holding the authorities or anyone who supports them legally accountable for any wrongdoing. There is essentially no means to voice grievance. Martial law is like a free pass to law enforcement officials to do whatever they please, whenever they please. Arrests Of Activists And Dissidents: Political opponents of the establishment, no matter how honorable and peaceful they may be, would likely be arrested. Those who have the capability to lead a movement in opposition of the current government or those who have the respect of a sizable percentage of the populace will become priority targets during martial law. All tyrants seek to quash other voices, especially strong voices, so that they can create an environment in which THEIR voice is the only one that can be heard. Activists are normally labeled as subversives, insurgents, or terrorists. They are arrested and treated as enemy combatants. The reigning government will claim that such people are “dangerous” to the stability of the country, and a threat to national security. Associating activists with terrorists also makes the idea of rendition and torture slightly more palatable to the fearful public. Economic Feudalism: In an autocracy, everything becomes a matter of national security, even the state of the workforce. All jobs become state jobs. The very poor become a possible burden. The middle class and the very rich (if not already part of the establishment) become possible competition. This is why most tyrannies seek to establish “harmonization”, which is really just a flowery way of saying that everyone is made equally dependent on the system for their survival. It is hard to become a successful man in an oppressive society if you are not one of the elite. It is even harder to be a pauper in the same society because you are seen as a parasite feeding off the collective (though you are probably hurting no one). Martial law is always followed by an end to economic prosperity for the average citizen and the removal of the traditional middle class. In the end, this causes the public to subjugate themselves. It creates a system which rewards those who submit with a semblance of the status they once had. The alternative: barely eking out an existence while under constant fear that you could be labeled an impediment to social progress. Given this choice, many would choose to conform. Food, Water, and Healthcare Rationing: Food and water are life. Control these two things in a culture, and you have the makings of a tyranny. One of the most notable aspects in the elitist quest for empire is the trail of hunger and starvation they leave in their wake. All methods are greenlighted. Burning of farmland, hording of grain, heavy taxation on livestock or harvests, government micromanagement of planting, everything is fair game. Food regulation can be taken to a whole other level in our modern age. With malicious corporations like Monsanto in operation, genetically modified crops can be created to control diet, ”terminator seeds” which yield only one crop can be used to keep the masses from replanting, and the pollen from these plants can be used to infect the genus of non-GMO crops birthing mutant strains which damage the food chain. By creating a food shortage, rationing then becomes inevitable, and with rationing comes greater influence. Healthcare rationing would be a natural extension, until every moment of one’s life relies on the good graces of a centralized bureaucracy. It is rare for a government to implement all of these actions in a single instant. Usually, they are introduced slowly over a period of years, and with each new decree a problem is preemptively engineered by the elites to give a “reasonable” cause, or generate a concrete fear. As time passes, people forget what life was like before, left only with the dreadful circumstances of the present, and a disquieting sensation in the pit of their stomachs, telling them that the world they have been presented is not the world we should have settled for. Never Compromise Liberty Tyrants prevail when they are able to fool the masses into compromising their ideals, and their conscience. They enjoy devising scenarios by which we are made to tread through a “grey area”, a place where the truth is supposedly a matter of perspective, and that which is right and balanced could become unbalanced and destructive. Once you choose to compromise a fundamental principle, they then use that moment to set precedence. “If torture is tolerable in the chance that it could save some lives, then perhaps it is tolerable in other situations…” they say. “If some freedoms are expendable in the name of security, then perhaps others are as well.” How do we stop elites from setting precedence in this way? We never compromise. “Grey Area” scenarios are a charade. A rigged casino game in which there is only a single outcome and a single winner, and the winner is definitely not you. The crisis is usually one that the establishment created in the first place, i.e. the economic collapse, the BP oil spill, false flag terror, etc. And, the solution is always predetermined. No obstacle has only one solution, there are a myriad of answers to every dilemma, some far better than others. Yet, time and time again, we are offered only one way to resolve every disaster; greater centralization and extended government power. Most disingenuous of all is the constant promise by government to keep us safe. No government has the power to offer security. Security provided by others is an illusion. The only true safety is that which one provides for himself. We accomplish this by becoming self reliant, self aware, and tough minded. We do not wait for some abstract ruling body to come to our aid, and we do not trade our freedom on the false promise that they will honor their agreement. I have heard it argued that America is different, that we should not suspect our government capable of tyranny because “we are the government”. I find this assumption extraordinarily naive. Our government has not represented the wishes of the people for decades. The leaderships of both major parties have supported almost identical legislative measures and extolled parallel globalist ideologies, making a mockery of our election process by giving us only one choice in the casting of our vote. We should be very suspect of such a government, for we are not the same, our goals are entirely opposed, and only one group can be allowed to endure; those who wish to dictate, or those who wish to be free. I have also heard it said that freedom exists under the purview of government. That the liberties we enjoy are only possible because of the protections that government provides. Elitists often take advantage of our presumption that government is some kind of cultural obligation, one that we must bow to, and that by attrition, we must bow to them. In reality, government is a philosophical construct; a framework that only exists because we will it so, and that administrates freedoms only so far as we allow it to do so. WE are the source of our liberty, NOT government. It is we as individuals who ultimately must protect the freedoms we enjoy. Under no circumstance is any government more vital than our personal liberty. The choice is eternally simple; when asked to sacrifice one or the other, government must go. The Constitution of the United States was drafted as a means to reign in government and force it to respect the freedoms of the people. It exists to deter the power hungry, for under the Constitution they are supposed to be denied the control they thirst for, not given unrestrained supremacy. Martial law is a tool by which the power hungry can remove the restraints of the Constitution and cast aside freedoms on a whim. This is unacceptable no matter the state of affairs. War, terrorism, economic collapse, environmental catastrophe, none of these events gives anyone the license to usurp our liberties. It cannot and will not be allowed. We here in America should remember what it means to call ourselves a “sovereign people”. It is a title every man is born with but few men have the strength and fortitude to keep “Independence” requires taxing vigilance, a persevering spirit, and the determination to see that neither is tread upon. Independence has a price. In the event that we are confronted with martial law in this country, it is a price we may have to pay all over again.

Patriot Films Shocking New Footage Of A FEMA Camp Recently Discovered In Texas

July 11, 2016

Not that long ago I published a post explaining much of what is already known about FEMA Camps, so in the event the sh** hits the fan, people would know where NOT to be. With the footage discovered below, once again I will make the case why people should be preparing for the worst. When the time comes for FEMA camps to open their doors to the masses, it will be during a state a Martial Law, which means regardless of the underlying cause, life will drastically change here in the United States. The imposition of martial law means the confiscation of firearms and supplies, curfews, the suspension of civil law, suspension of civil rights, habeas corpus, and the application or extension of military law or military justice to civilians. Civilians defying martial law may be subjected to military tribunal (court-martial). That not debatable. That it fact. Many believe the collapse of the U.S. Dollar is imminent, present company included, which would cause food in particular to become very scarce. That means that FEMA Camps will most likely be positioned by the government as “safe places,” places where people can go to be assured food and “protection” for their families. Let’s be clear, nothing about FEMA Camps is intended for your “protection,” and I will prove that after the video. FEMA Camps are intended for the protection of the political elite FROM you. Please note that all alleged FEMA facilities have several layers of fencing, all of which for some “mysterious” reason, have barbed wire at the top, pointing toward the inside of the fence. Why would you want to force the people you are “helping” to remain inside? Along with fencing, many are equipped with electronically operated turnstile guard entrance(s) as the only means to get into the gated sections. Cameras can also be seen watching closely over the supposedly abandoned sites, and wind socks have been placed anticipating the arrival of helicopters. For now, the footage discovered below of a FEMA Camp in Texas should sufficiently paint the picture:

'Red Revolution' (Race War) In America Hits The Point Of No Return

Black Hate Groups Incited By The 'Communist' Party Brings Color Revolution To America

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

As we watch the news of threats made against police across America, riots in multiple states, police headquarters being targeted, hundreds arrested, and the slaughter of 5 Dallas law enforcement officers, we are witnessing a pre-planned "color" revolution in America, in a deliberately orchestrated "race war," and it is has hit the point of no return. RED REVOLUTION - RACE WAR Those inciting black hate groups such as the New Black Panther Party and certain Black Lives Matter members and supporters, include the "Revolutionary Communist Party," who calls not only for an outright revolution in America, but deliberately attempts to expand the racial divisions in the U.S. as part of their "Message from the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA," which states in their very first paragraph "This system locks down generations of Black and Brown youth, brutalizing and incarcerating them and even blowing them away—or else setting them up to fight and kill each other, when they should be fighting the REAL enemy." Distinguishing between "color" revolutions around the world and what we are seeing here domestically, we find an excellent article at the "Stop Shouting" blog, titled "The Color Revolution Comes to America ... and the color is RED not BLACK," which accurately captures what we are watching happening now, and how the same communist "elites" responsible for color revolutions in other countries, are ultimately behind the "red" revolution happening right now in America. Via the article linked above. Domestically, “color revolution” is used as a tactic to IMPOSE a uniparty state. Think about it. America is perhaps one of the most intensely propagandized nations on earth. Think about all the "white privilege", #BLM, racism, "can't we all get along", pro perversion (gay, trans, queer, etc.) messaging and pressure that you see. Think about how much your CHILDREN are exposed to. What America is experiencing is a top down imposed color revolution - not from external forces or elements. The waves of rapefugees and crimmigrants are a mere tool of the Federal Regime and its goon squads (HOW many rounds of ammo and HOW many sworn officers with arrest powers exist?). They are the social and physical forces to subjugate Americans. So, now that I have made my case that America is under siege by its own “Government”, what will this color revolution be named? I posit that it will be the Red Revolution. Red for the Communists trying to impose it upon us, Red for the States that will stop it. Red for the blood that has already been spilled by the forces of globalism and the New World Order of honest Americans. Red for the blood that will wash in the gutters of American streets. Since the Dallas massacre of police we have noted these orchestrated events, with members of groups like BLM and the NBPP, playing their part of useful patsies for communists such as George Soros, Barack Obama and company, all leading to exactly what we have been warned of, the federalization of police (which Obama is pushing right now), who will eventually attempt to disarm Americans under the control of the United Nations, and declare martial law, all part of the Communist endgame goal stated blatantly by the Revolutionary Communist Party: "This system—capitalism-imperialism—must be overthrown." OBAMA PUSHES ACCELERATION OF THE NEXT PHASE Breitbart details the next move in the Communist agenda, which this whole "red revolution" has been leading to: Obama began touting the panel’s recommendations in March 2015. The report, titled “President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing Report,” was published in May 2015. The report urges the federal government to federalize police training and practices, via the use of federal lawsuits, grants and threats to cut federal aid. So far, Obama’s deputies have cajoled and sued more than 30 police jurisdictions to adopt federal rules in a slow-motion creation of a national police system, similar to the slow-motion creation of a federal-run health-sector via Obamacare. Obama also used the press conference to insulate his federalized police program — and his allies in the Black Live Matter movement — from popular rejection after the five police were murdered by the anti-cop African-American in Dallas. Make no mistake, what we are witnessings across America now with BLM, NBPP and other black extremist groups targeting police and whites, is a culmination of an agenda Obama has been pushing since he took office, from claiming that "Trayvon Martin could have been me," and "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon," deliberately inciting racial tensions before the official investigation had even commenced, to his most recent claim that it is "very hard to untangle" the Dallas' shooters motives when the shooter made it very clear that "he wanted to kill white people, especially white police officers." Is it really that hard to "untangle" his motive? Related: Judge Jeanine Demolishes Obama As Entire World Prepares For Riots And Unrest - More Signs Emerge That Martial Law May Be In America's Near Future As 'Painful Riot Control Systems' Sales Soar BOTTOM LINE Prepper Fortress headlines a must-read article "If Senseless Violence Continues, America Will Be a Total Police State in No Time," where he lists the three primary outcomes from the murders of police in Dallas; 1.) Further divide the country in general.; 2.) Further the already wide distrust between the police and the general public; 3.) Increase the likelihood of more violence, and the eventual imposition of a total police state in America. That ladies and gentlemen has been the ultimate goal, the culmination of everything we have been witnessing, the total lock down of America and the disarming of its citizenry, all instigated by the communist elite to overthrow the whole system and turn America into a communist country. Steve Quayle left an SQ Note after his link to the Prepper Fortress piece and we will give him the last word here because it encompasses all we have been warning about and what we are seeing happen right now: THATS BEEN THE PLAN ALL ALONG- INITIATE RACE WAR AS THE AGENT OF CHANGE- AMERICA IS IN THE ACCELERATING PHASE OF A COMMUNIST REVOLUTION!

Will China and the US be at war this week? Beijing set to defy Hague ultimatum

CHINA is on a collision course with the US over a bitter territorial dispute that has sparked fears of a new global war breaking out NEXT WEEK. A long-running legal battle between China and the Philippines will conclude on Tuesday, July 12, when the Hague's Permanent Court of Arbitration delivers its verdict over the so-called "Nine-Dash Line" – a key shipping route in the South China Sea. The decision comes three years after the Philippines brought its case to tribunal, with Brunei, Malaysia and Vietnam also laying claims to overlapping areas of the ocean. Here's how it looks on a map: As you can see above, each of the nations in the area lays claim to a portion of the ocean off their coast, but as the red colored line shows, CHINA claims . . . ALL OF IT. . . even though that part of the ocean the ocean is not within 200 miles of China's coast! In fact, the "Spratley Islands" are more than eight hundred miles (1200km) away from China's shore! The other countries in the area, especially the Philippines, told China to stay out of their territorial waters and China basically said, "we have a bigger Navy than you (and than the USA) and we'll do what we want." Everyone else has said "No, you won't." So China started dredging to build-up portions of the Spratley Islands, then populate those new creations with Chinese troops, airfields and Naval facilities. The Conspiracy Of The New World Order World War 3 The Secret China claims virtually all of the resource-rich sea as it's own, and has continued with an aggressive building program of military ports, artificial runways and fortresses, despite international condemnation. The country has already said it will ignore the Hague's ruling, with Foreign Minister Wang Yi saying it "would only escalate the disputes and tensions.” Ahead of the ruling, the US government called for “all claimants to avoid provocative actions or statements.” But in an editorial in the state-owned People Daily newspaper – the official mouthpiece of Beijing – China warned there would be "a price to pay" for further interference from the US. The newspaper editorial said: “There is a bottom line with every issue, and a price will be paid if that line is crossed. “If the United States, regardless of the cost, chooses the path of ‘brinkmanship’ that pressures and intimidates others, there will be only one result, that is, that the US bears all the responsibility for possibly further heightening tensions in the South China Sea. “China has a solid-rock position over safeguarding China’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity. It will not want anything that does not belong to it, but it will ensure that every inch of land it owns is safe and sound.” REUTERS A US satellite image shows construction of a possible radar tower facilities in the South China Sea REUTERS Secretary of State John Kerry and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi Tensions between China and the US have been simmering for several months. The US has become increasingly angry at what it sees as China's "militarising" of the South China Sea, with Barack Obama reportedly considering sending US artillary units to the region as a deterrent. READ MORE : Warning Signs of Anarchy – Do You See it Coming? Chinese officials are already angry with America carrying out naval missions within the South China Sea, under the convention of Freedom of Navigation in international waters. Last month Chinese fighter jets flew within 15 metres of a US aircraft over the East China Sea – a move which Secretary of State John Kerry described as a “provocative and destabilising act”. Seemingly demonstrating its resolve, China has begun a week-long series of combat drills near the southern island province of Hainan and the Paracel islands in the South China Sea, which focused on air control, surface operations and anti-submarine warfare. Two guided missile destroyers and a frigate were among the naval vessels taking part in the drills, according to state news. However, the paper claimed this was just normal naval activity which "is not connected with specific events or countries". A Fight Likely It comes down to this: The Hague will issue its ruling on Tuesday. If, as expected, the ruling goes against China — and the Chinese "ignore it"– then there's probably going to be a rather large fight. READ MORE : Putin: US / NATO are irreversibly pulling the world toward nuclear war The US is deadly serious about this issue. It has deployed two aircraft carrier battle groups to the region: The US is GROSSLY outnumbered by Chinese Naval assets. Here's the breakdown as of 2015 before things got nasty; China has a HUGE advantage over the US: Of course, Japan, the Philippines and other nations in the region will likely side with the US to preserve their own waters, but if a fight breaks out, it will beferocious; and it is a fight the US can very well LOSE. Stay tuned. Fireworks could start around this Tuesday.

(UR) South China Sea — Beijing should be ready to “let the US pay a cost it cannot stand if it intervenes in the South China Sea dispute by force,” an editorial in a Chinese state-run paper warned on Tuesday — less than a week before the International Court at The Hague (ICH) is set to rule on a territorial disagreement between China and the Philippines. “China hopes disputes can be resolved by talks,” wrote the Global Times, “but it must be prepared for any military confrontation. This is common sense in international relations.” The dispute is over an island chain in the South China Sea, the Spratlys, and the maritime rights to the waters surrounding them. At the heart of the issue is sovereignty, with both China and the Philippines claiming territorial control. In June of 2015, China announced that the artificial island chain it had been constructing in the South China Sea — in disregard of territorial claims by other Southeast Asian nations such as Vietnam, Taiwan, and Malaysia — would be completed within days. In the year that’s followed, the country has built military buildings, ports, and airstrips on the connected atolls. In October of last year, the U.S. sent the first of what would become a considerable number of warships — and, eventually, even an aircraft carrier — into the South China Sea as a direct challenge to China’s claims in the region. As pretext for involvement in what’s a wholly Southeast Asian affair, the U.S. has continuously claimed its allies in the region — notably India and the Philippines, itself — are concerned over China’s bold territorial assertions. As Forbes recently wrote: “While it is still unclear which way the ICH will rule, one thing is clear: China’s aggressive standing in the South China Sea disputes has spooked its neighbors.” But China has made it clear it sees such U.S. involvement as military provocation. “The South China Sea dispute has been greatly complicated after heavy US intervention,” the Global Times editorial states. “Washington…wants to send a signal by flexing its muscles. As the biggest powerhouse in the region, it awaits China’s obedience.” Accordingly, China’s Maritime Safety Administration announced Monday it would be conducting military exercises in the waters of the South China Sea from July 5 to July 11 — the day before the ICH is set to make its ruling in the case brought before it by the Philippines. “The drills are a very symbolic expression of China’s resolve,” Zhu Feng, dean of the Institute of International Affairs at Nanjing University, told TIME. “It is definitely also responding to the recent American warships patrolling in the South China Sea.” Complicating the situation further is the fact that China, claiming the ICH has no authority to rule on territorial disputes, has repeatedly stated it has no intention of abiding by the tribunal’s ruling. This inconvenience appears to be something the Pentagon is choosing to ignore, however, as evidenced by recent statements made by spokesperson Peter Cook and reported by Reuters: “‘We’ve pointed to the diplomatic route for resolving these issues…they should be resolved peacefully,’ he said, adding the ruling from The Hague would provide an opportunity for this.’” Wishful thinking, it seems, on the part of United States. But there’s another, perhaps even more troubling facet of this entanglement that merits consideration. And, in point of fact, was not-so-subtly addressed in a recent article by another of China’s state-run publications, the People’s Daily. And that facet can be encapsulated in a single word: Russia. “China and Russia vowed to strengthen global strategic stability,” reports the Daily, “in a joint statement signed by Chinese President Xi Jingping and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on June 25 during Putin’s visit to Beijing.” Additionally, the Daily points out that “China and Russia have held six joint naval exercises since 2005” and that, for the 2016 maneuvers, “it is very likely that the South China Sea Fleet will take its turn as the main power, and the location might be near the South China Sea.” If not a veiled threat, it’s at a minimum a reminder to the U.S. that China is far from alone in its military capacity. And considering the NATO summit in Warsaw is only days away from approving the deployment of four battalions along the Russian border in Eastern Europe — and amid ongoing and increasingly dangerous confrontations between the U.S. and Russia in Syria — it might do Washington, D.C., well to take China’s “reminder” to heart.

North Korea military threatens physical response against U.S. THAAD deployment

[Reuters] July 10, 2016

A Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) interceptor is launched during a successful intercept test View photos A Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) interceptor is launched during a successful intercept test, in this undated handout photo provided by the U.S. Department of Defense, Missile Defense Agency. U.S. Department of Defense, Missile Defense Agency/Handout via Reuters/File Photo SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea's military said on Monday it will take "physical response" to a move by the United States and South Korea to deploy the advanced THAAD missile defense system to the Korean peninsula to counter the threat from the North. The United States and South Korea said on Friday that the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system will be used as defense against North Korea's growing nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities. The announcement was the latest move by the allies against the North which conducted its fourth nuclear test this year and launched a long-range rocket, resulting in tough new U.N. sanctions and a series of bilateral sanctions against it. "There will be physical response measures from us as soon as the location and time that the invasionary tool for U.S. world supremacy, THAAD, will be brought into South Korea," the North's military said in a statement. "It is the unwavering will of our army to deal a ruthless retaliatory strike and turn (the South) into a sea of fire and a pile of ashes the moment we have an order to carry it out," the statement carried by the official KCNA news agency said. The North frequently threatens to attack the South and U.S. interests in Asia and the Pacific. The move to deploy the THAAD system, which drew a swift and sharp protest from China, came a day after the U.S. Treasury Department blacklisted leader North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for human rights abuses. North Korea called this "a declaration of war" and vowed a tough response. A South Korean Defence Ministry official said selection of a site for THAAD could come "within weeks," and the allies were working to have it operational by the end of 2017. It will be deployed to U.S. Forces Korea "to protect alliance military forces," the South and the United States said on Friday. The United States maintains 28,500 troops in South Korea, a legacy of the 1950-53 Korean war. It will be focused solely on North Korean nuclear and missile threats and would not be directed toward any third-party nations, the two countries said last week.

FIRST THE BANKS WERE TOO BIG TO FAIL, NOW HILLARY IS TOO BIG TO JAIL

By Marilyn MacGruder Barnewall July 10, 2016 NewsWithViews.com

...and what happened in the beautiful city of Dallas, Texas, is an apt reflection of what happens when a nation loses its Rule of Law. We have Hillary Clinton with a lifelong record of lies, surrounded by criminals and conduct that makes her own involvement questionable. We have Bill Clinton who is one of the worst womanizers ever born and a man who has been involved with the Bush cabal since the 1980s... a man guilty of perjury and other felonies, a man who pardoned some of the biggest criminals in the world... like Marc Rich, a world class money launderer (after Rich's wife contributed a quarter of a million dollars). We have an Attorney General under the Clinton Administration that sends Army tanks to kill women and children in David Koresh’s Waco headquarters. That same Clinton Attorney General’s office on August 22, 1992 sent FBI agents to Idaho where they killed a totally innocent woman named Vicki Weaver. She had her baby in her arms while standing at the front door of her home. The FBI shot and killed a young boy, too – the son of the Weavers. The agent who shot Vicki was promoted, as I recall. We had a Secretary of State whose greatest achievement during her term of office was a total lack of achievement of anything positive and a trail filled with apparent errors and missteps. The information about Benghazi is pretty clear and Congressman Trey Gowdy’s Investigative Committee did a good job of identifying evidence the mainstream media refuses to publish – but no legal action is taken. Welcome to the world of how the social order works when tyranny rules and the Rule of Law is trashed. Gowdy, a very popular Congressman from South Carolina, then announces he will not run for re-election. Gee, I wonder why. We had a Secretary of State who is so incompetent that an American Ambassador is murdered by Libyan terrorists. Three other American heroes are also murdered. President Barrack Obama and Secretary of State Clinton tell the American people that a video tape presenting negatives about Islam is to blame. Prior to that announcement, however, Secretary Clinton had emailed statements to her daughter and others that terrorists were responsible for the violence. Both she and the President are caught in this lie -- are caught lying to the families of the dead -- but when it becomes undeniable there is no media coverage of it. Welcome to the world of socialist lawlessness where there is one set of rules for the elite and another set for everyone else (the workers). We have an Attorney General who was appointed by the current President and was first appointed to the Department of Justice by President Clinton. The Attorney General agrees to meet with the now former President on her airplane while Clinton and his wife, who is running to become the new U.S. President, are both under active investigation by the Department of Justice. Was this lawful? No. Loretta Lynch should lose her license to practice law over it. The current President also appointed the former failed Secretary of State. The President wants to leave a legacy other than being the first black person elected to the office of the Presidency. To achieve that objective, the President must protect the incompetent Secretary of State because if he does not, any positives he thinks he has achieved will go down the tube with her various involvements. What involvements? Start with unlawfully setting up a private email server in her basement on which she sends and receives classified material. Under oath she tells Congress she never sent or received classified material on her private computer. She lied. Director Comey built a strong case against what Hillary Clinton did in his testimony before Congress. There is no doubt it is true... even FBI Director Comey admits it happened. It is a violation of the law and people have been sent to prison for less... but in today’s society up is down, right is left, and wrong is right. Everyone talks about what a straight-shooter Jim Comey is. Maybe so... but there are a few things about the FBI Director people may have forgotten. Do you recall the Senate Whitewater investigation of President and Mrs. William Clinton? The Senate was investigating whether then Governor of Arkansas Bill Clinton used his position to influence the granting of an illegal loan that benefitted the Clintons’ business partner in Whitewater (the Clintons were major stockholders in Whitewater, as I recall). As I also recall, Webb Hubbell went to jail over Whitewater (and died of a heart attack while being held in solitary confinement). James Comey was Deputy Special Counsel for the Whitewater Investigation. Too, James Comey oversaw investigations into Bill Clinton’s pardon of 16 Puerto Rican terrorists who took the lives of 16 Americans and wounded others. So, Mr. Comey is not new to what is involved in prosecuting or attempting to prosecute members of the Clinton “family.” Comey is “a straight shooter,” say Rudy Giuliani and George Will on Fox News. It’s interesting that Fox doesn’t seem to be able to investigate the news much better than ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and the other broadcasters they constantly criticize. If they did, this information would have been made public at the time Comey testified. People are shaking their heads and wringing their hands and calling out to God asking “How can You let this happen?” The same people who ask this question are largely the same people who demand that all reference to God be removed from our schools and other public buildings. It is, of course, okay to refer to Allah. The "Get God out of here" people are so stupid it is almost beyond belief. The only people more stupid are those who allowed God to be removed from our society – that would be you and I. As we mourn the loss of five Dallas police officers and the wounding of six others, as we pray for the recovery of all who were injured both physically and psychologically, let’s apply a little common sense as to why we are seeing such an increase in violence directed at those in authority. There are some human behaviors that are part of our nature. For example:

1. Always remember that tyrants will do whatever it takes to achieve their objective. They want to delete the Second Amendment and take the guns of the American people. Until they get what they want, we will likely see more of this kind of violence (with progressive Democrats loudly calling for gun control) until the people find a way to combat it more effectively than the government appears able. This is evident in the behavior of George H.W. Bush’s father, Prescott, who helped finance Hitler. It's all about power.

2. All people – rich and poor, productive and non-productive – struggle to have a meaningful life. We have a strong instinct that drives us to make the time we spend on earth matter. Some people make their lives matter in a positive way; some achieve it in a negative way. No one wants to be a zero. We fight to be either a plus or a minus in the social order. One of the problems we have today is that the definition of plus and minus has been turned upside down. What used to be good and positive is now bad and negative... faith in God, being productive, being a patriot, respecting the Constitution and the Rule of Law that flows from it all, according to our political leaders, make us dangerous, negative citizens. What they really mean is that people who seek the truth and do not accept political correctness have figured out that politicians get to define what is or is not politically correct and they always define it as something that hides their unlawful behavior and benefits them and their objective of global governance. At puberty, both boys and girls face tremendous pressures from their own bodies as previously unknown hormones flood their systems. They are pressured by schools to believe what they are told in class (political correctness, again) versus what they are told by parents in their homes and lessons they are taught by their churches. It is no wonder they are confused! Some have intact families; about 50 percent do not. Many households in which both parents work do so because even though they may believe in God they worship things... they want a bigger house and a 55-inch television, a new car, perhaps a boat... and they want a good vacation every year. So, both parents work and the kids have part-time parents. Because of the economy our government and the Federal Reserve (which is not part of the government but is a private corporation) have created, many households require that both parents work. It is not a matter of wanting to buy more things; it is a matter of survival and of being able to securely retire someday. It’s an issue of being able to afford to send their kids to college (which is so over-priced – again, thanks to government – it is ridiculous especially when you look at the lack of education students receive). So kids without parents to teach them the value of positive behavior often learn negatives instead. Today, a large majority of high school and college students see nothing wrong with cheating on a test, for example. They see nothing wrong with their negative choices because negatives are what get rewarded in society today. Common sense says: If you want more of something, reward it. No one can argue with the statement that if you want a congratulatory telephone call from the White House, it won’t be forthcoming if you or your kids do something special involving non-Muslim faith, love of country and patriotism, something that demonstrates respect for the Constitution, or if it supports truth but defies “political correctness.” The mainstream media, pandering to White House preferences, supports this madness with the topics it chooses to cover... or not cover. Kids today have few support systems in place to teach them that the choices they make in high school often establish an entire life pattern and if they want a fulfilling life they need to learn discipline... in learning, in loving, in working and in being a productive member of the social order. We have created a society where people (especially young people) see little or no benefit to behaving in a way designed to produce a safe, productive and respectful society based on love rather than hate. This leads to chaos. Be careful how you define “love.” In this context, it has little to do with “feel good” emotion and everything to do with commitment, respect for self and others, truth and positive productivity. What is positive productivity? It is contributing to the creation of good for the total social order while maintaining your individuality. For those who believe Jesus Christ was a socialist, you need to recall that His entire message was about individuality (socialism supports the collective, not the individual) – in all behavior. God gave us a world in which everything is a matter of personal choice. The love I’m talking about teaches someone to fish rather than giving people a fish.

3. Our churches have largely failed the American public. They are so interested in maintaining their tax exempt status (which the Constitution gives them regardless of 501.c.3) they are terrified of pointing out to their flocks the corruption of government. Churchgoers are smart enough to figure it out for themselves, but they are too lazy or apathetic to do it. Some just don’t want to hear the truth... they prefer having their butts in the air where anyone can kick them while keeping their heads firmly lodged in the sand. Some convince themselves that Jesus will save them from whatever is coming – either that, or they rationalize that whatever is coming must be the Will of God. They forget that God only creates opportunity but expects us to fight our own battles. If that were not so, Daniel’s slingshot would have been unnecessary. He gave us the most fabulous gift possible... this country. Perhaps He believes that if we care so little for this nation we are unwilling to fight for it, then it should be let go the way of Rome. A lot has been written about how involved secret societies are in the disintegration of America. One thing we can do right now is never vote for anyone who graduated from Yale where the Skull and Bones group had as members George H.W. and George W. Bush. God bless the citizens of Dallas, especially the members of the Police Department that lost 11 dedicated employees. May He heal those who lived of their pain; may He heal us all from our stupidity and motivate us to do what is right before it is too late. It may already be too late.

DANGER: The World Is Now On The Verge Of The Largest Destruction Of Wealth In History

July 10, 2016

With the price of gold and silver surging once again, today the man who has become legendary for his predictions on QE, historic moves in currencies, and major global events, warned King World News that we are now on the verge of the largest destruction of wealth the world has ever seen. (King World News) Egon von Greyerz: “Investors worldwide have never faced risk of the magnitude that the world is now exposed to. But sadly, very few are aware of this unprecedented risk. For the ones who understand risk and take the right decisions, it will “lead to fortune.” Only very few will choose that route. Instead, most investors will continue to live in the hope that current trends will go on forever, but sadly these people will end up “in shallows and in miseries.”… In Volatile Markets, Is Wealth Preservation King?

In a King World News interview I spoke with the man who predicted the Swiss National Bank would experience staggering losses and that the Fed would also experience massive losses that will destabilize the global financial system! His company is the only one in the world offering a precious metals investment service outside the banking system, with direct ownership and full control by the investor. He has also become legendary for his predictions on QE, historic moves in currencies, and major global events. To find out what he and his company can do to help answer that age old question for you CLICK HERE. Egon von Greyerz continues: “Risk is now staring us all right in our face but as I said, very few people can actually see it. Let’s just be clear what some of these risks are: No Sovereign state will ever repay their debt – That is an irrefutable statement and anyone who doesn’t understand that lives in denial. Sovereign debt has increased exponentially in the last couple of decades and governments neither can nor have the intention of ever paying their creditors. They can’t even afford to pay the interest and this is why an ever increasing number of countries have negative interest rates. So not only will they not repay the capital but investors now pay bankrupt nations for the privilege of holding their worthless paper. It is incomprehensible that investors are prepared to hold nearer $100 trillion of debt with no yield or negative yield and no chance of getting their money back. No one worries about the return OF their money and now it seems that investors don’t even worry about getting a return ON their money. This is a shocking state of affairs that eventually will lead to a total collapse of all sovereign debt. * No bank will ever give depositors their money back – I know that very few believe this statement. Because if bank depositors did, they would not keep around $200 trillion of assets in the financial system plus another $1.5 quadrillion in addition in the banking system. Bank stocks in Europe, whether it is Deutsche Bank in Germany or bank Monte Paschi in Italy, are continuing to crash to new lows. As I stated in a recent article, the share price of most European banks as well as many US banks like Citigroup or Bank of America have collapsed 70-95% since 2006 and they are on their way to ZERO. Consumer borrowing is still growing exponentially. Student loans in the US now total $1.4 trillion, up a MERE 3x since 2006. And the delinquency rate is increasing exponentially as most students can’t find a job. * Stock markets will fall 90% or more – I know that most investors will think that this is a sensational statement from someone totally deranged. But let me just remind investors that when the Dow crashed 90% between 1929 and 1932, the economic conditions in the USA and the rest of the world were far superior to the ones we are experiencing currently. Economic conditions are deteriorating fast worldwide but stock markets are continuing to go up to dizzy levels. Investors are putting their faith in funny or printed money. S&P earnings have declined for 5 straight quarters. The Dow is now valued at a jaw-dropping 24x GAAP earnings. And sales revenue, adjusted for share buybacks, is down 1/3 since 2006. Yes, governments worldwide will, this year, launch the most massive money printing program in history. But that will be like pushing on a string and will have zero effect on the world economy. The time when the misconceived Keynesian methods of creating prosperity by printing worthless pieces of paper (or electronic money) is now passed. The printed money will only exacerbate the debt problem. And the world will soon learn that you cannot solve a problem by applying the same methods that caused the problem in the first place. Property markets will collapse – Low interest rates and speculative frenzy have created bubble property markets worldwide. We had the first warning signal in 2006, but through massive money printing and guarantees to the extent of US$25 trillion, governments and central banks managed to postpone the inevitable. Since then, global debt has increased by 2/3 and interest rates have declined from around 6% to zero or negative. In Switzerland, a 15-year mortgage now costs 1.25% and in Sweden you don’t need to ever amortize your mortgage. And in the UK, 6 major commercial property funds have now frozen redemptions. That represents 50% of the commercial property funds and is a grave sign that should be taken as seriously as the 2006 subprime crisis. China, with its $34 trillion debt and many ghost towns and empty properties, will also have massive problems. * Currencies will go to ZERO – The deficit spending of most countries and ensuing debt explosion will put continued pressure on all currencies. Most currencies have lost 97 – 99% in real terms in the last 100 years. The last 2 – 3% fall will probably take place in the next 4 – 7 years. But the problem is that this last fall is 100% from here. This means that all currencies will go to their intrinsic value of ZERO in the next few years. So any cash savings will be worthless. * Geopolitical risks and social unrest – These are higher than ever at any time in history, whether it is in the Middle East, between the US and Russia, China, etc, or civil unrest in Europe, the US, China or the rest of the world. The Largest Destruction Of Wealth The World Has Ever Seen The above may sound like a prophecy of doom and gloom. For investors who want the good news, they can just listen to any TV channel or read the newspapers. There are very few places where risk is spelled out properly. I obviously hope that my forecasts above are totally wrong but I fear that I will be right. And therefore, I believe that it is essential for investors as well as people who don’t have much to protect to take whatever safety measures they can. Gold and silver will not solve all the potential problems or catastrophes that the world will encounter in the next few years. But it is probably the best insurance that investors can hold to protect their capital against potentially the largest destruction of wealth that the world has ever encountered. Naturally, it must be physical gold and silver and it must be held outside of the financial system.”

The Law Is Dying because Morality Is Dying

By Trevor Thomas July 10, 2016

Tuesday, after FBI director James Comey spent about 15 minutes laying out the legal case against Hillary Clinton and then spent about three minutes declaring that he was going to ignore the evidence and recommend no legal action against Mrs. Clinton, TheBlaze's Matt Walsh declared that "The law is Dead." Walsh wrote: July 5, 2016. 11:15 a.m. One day after America's 240th birthday.

When historians conduct their autopsy on Lady Justice, that will be the time of death. That is the precise moment when Justice drew her last labored breath, cursed our ridiculous country and our hopelessly corrupt government, and collapsed. Sure, she'd been in bad shape for a while, but there was no surviving the final blow. When it is explicitly announced and made public that the wealthiest and most elite and most liberal are indeed above the law, the charade of "law" cannot continue. There is no law. We are living under the rule of men, not of law. We are subject to the whims of petty tyrants and bureaucrats. They are subject to no one on Earth. I don't think Comey's presser heralds the end of law in the U.S., but he surely did put another nail in the coffin. Like the Supreme Court rulings on abortion and marriage, few should be surprised at this outcome. America has been on a long, ugly road when it comes to law and justice, reason and logic, morality and truth. Two days prior to this year's Independence Day, noted Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias asked, "Whatever happened to the American Soul?" He continued: We are truly at the cliff's precipitous edge and the fall could be long and deadly. Why? We have a deep crisis of the soul that is killing us morally and we have no recourse. We have no recourse because the only cure has been disparaged and mocked by the elite and the powerful. And those very ideologies are now presiding over the slaughter of our citizens while the abundance of speeches is inversely proportional to the wisdom they contain and Reason bleeds to death before our eyes[.] ... How many families will be shattered and offered up at the altar of our foolishness? ... I propose to you that multiple killings have preceded the horrors with which we now live. Those killings prepared the ground for the literal burial of our own people. Three killings in particular are as real as the carnage we see when suicide vests are detonated: the death of morality, the death of truth, and the death of reason. To illustrate the death of morality, Dr. Zacharias recalls the comments of Robert Shapiro, the famous attorney who helped represent O.J. Simpson in Simpson's murder trial. While being interviewed by Megyn Kelly, Shapiro was asked if justice had been served in the Simpson trial (Simpson was found not guilty of murdering his wife Nicole and Ron Goldman). Shapiro utters a "pathetic answer," telling Kelly, "There is legal justice and moral justice. Legal justice was served." Thus, as is common among those corrupted by liberalism, Shapiro divorces law from morality. When it comes to the disconnect between law and morality in the U.S., we have long been warned. As I pointed out years ago (and as I've suggested often), and as Ben Franklin declared, "laws without morals are in vain." Additionally, in 2003, after the Supreme Court foolishly reversed itself and legalized homosexual sex acts across the U.S. (Lawrence v. Texas), the late, great Antonin Scalia warned, "State laws against bigamy, same-sex marriage, adult incest, prostitution, masturbation, adultery, fornication, bestiality, and obscenity are likewise sustainable only in light of Bowers' [the 1986 Supreme Court decision upholding Georgia's sodomy law] validation of laws based on moral choices. Every single one of these laws is called into question by today's decision; the Court makes no effort to cabin the scope of its decision to exclude them from its holding." Scalia continued, "The Court embraces ... the fact that the governing majority in a State has traditionally viewed a particular practice as immoral is not a sufficient reason for upholding a law prohibiting the practice." He concluded, "This effectively decrees the end of all morals legislation." In other words, over a decade ago, no less than a justice on the U.S. Supreme Court warned us that liberals were "amputating" (to borrow from Dr. Zacharias) the law from morality. However, instead of an "amputation," what we are really seeing is more of a transplant. On November 18, 2003, just four and a half months after the Lawrence decision, the Supreme Court of Massachusetts ruled in favor of legalized same-sex marriage. Thus, Massachusetts became the first state in the U.S. to grant marital rights to same-sex couples. Writing for the majority, the chief justice of the Massachusetts court, Margaret Marshal, referenced Lawrence in the ruling: "Our obligation is to define the liberty of all, not to mandate our own moral code." But of course, the only way to redefine the oldest institution in the history of humanity is to "mandate our own moral code." The biggest obstacle to writing one's own moral code is Christianity. As The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (of the Southern Baptist Convention) recently put it, "in the twentieth century, more and more people began to see Christian morality as standing in the way of a new moral code: the morality of self-fulfillment. Throwing off burdensome traditional mores, people began to imagine life without a bothersome God standing watch." Recent Barna research "highlights the extent to which Americans pledge allegiance to the new moral code." This "morality of self-fulfillment" can be summed up in six guiding principles: As we sadly see, this "morality of self-fulfillment," otherwise known – as I noted last August (referencing philosopher Michael Novak) – as the "theology of self," has crept into the church. It is nothing new. As Genesis chapter 3 reveals, the desire to "be like God" – to rule our world – is nearly as old as humanity itself. What is new, at least for the United States of America, is that such a wicked philosophy is now deeply embedded in U.S. law. Again, all law is rooted in someone's idea of morality. We either are going to be governed by the morality of the Law Giver or the "morality of self-fulfillment." Americans must simply decide by whose morality we wished to be governed.

Democrats Endorse BLM and ‘Pigs in a Blanket’

By William A. Levinson July 12, 2016

The Democratic National Committee was on record as endorsing Black Lives Matter during its summer meeting of 2015, shortly before BLM activists chanted "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon." "Pigs in a blanket" refers apparently to police officers in body bags. The DNC did not withdraw its endorsement after this display; it instead invited BLM activists to organize a town hall meeting on "racial justice." 'Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon' demonstrators We are emphatically not singling out one or two rogue activists as the face of BLM. The video shows a large number of protesters who call unanimously for the murder of police officers, while nobody among them objects visibly to this kind of language. Barack Obama later praised the organization's leaders even though, by February 2016, it was long on record as calling for "pigs in a blanket." Obama's guests at this meeting included Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) of the recent House sit-in, and the prominent racist and anti-Semite Al Sharpton who also is on record as advocating the murder of white people in general and police officers in particular. I don't believe in marching! I believe in offing the pigs! Well, they got pigs out here! You ain't offed one of them! I'll off the man. Well, off him! Plenty of crackers walking around here tonight! Prominent Democrats such as Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have, in fact, been frequent guests at Al Sharpton's National Action Network; the same organization whose racist and anti-Semitic hate speech helped incite the fatal arson of Freddie's Fashion Mart in Harlem. This is "Pay your respect to the black fist/ Or we'll burn your store right down to a crisp" in action against Jews rather than Asians, who were the original subject of these lyrics. On Thursday, July 7, Micah Johnson gave BLM and Al Sharpton what they wanted: five dead police officers, and nine other people wounded. The Democratic Party, as represented officially by the DNC, is therefore pandering to BLM and Sharpton to appeal to the lowest socioeconomic class of Black voters; the ones who listen to and act upon misogynistic and violent rap lyrics such as those from "Cop Killer." I got my twelve gauge sawed off. I got my headlights turned off. I'm 'bout to bust some shots off. I'm 'bout to dust some cops off. The remaining lyrics consist primarily of a well-known four letter word and the refrain, "Cop killer." The same socioeconomic group as represented by BLM then jeopardized public safety by blocking interstate highways in Saint Paul, MN and San Francisco, CA. 21 police officers were injured during the Saint Paul riot, and I am calling it a riot because a protest, as sanctioned by the First Amendment, does not involve throwing rocks, bottles, fireworks, and bricks at the police or anybody else. BLM also staged recent riots in Rochester NY and Baton Rouge, LA. Most of the Rochester arrests were for disorderly conduct, a relatively minor violation, but rocks were again thrown. The Saint Paul Police Department just reported on Facebook, meanwhile, "A molotov cocktail has been thrown at officers. It is unclear if anyone has been injured. Some also dropped a large chunk of concrete onto an officer's head from a bridge. Officer injured." If the Democratic National Committee wants and needs this kind of vote, it does not want or need anybody else's. Does Black Lives Matter have a legitimate reason to protest? With the sole exception of what looks like the actual murder of a suspect by a police officer (who was subsequently charged), there are almost universally two sides to each of the stories that prompted the riots. There Are Two Sides to Most Stories Nobody condones for an instant unjustified police shootings. A bad cop is infinitely more dangerous than most criminals because the law is on the cop's side unless and until he does something so egregious that the law cannot stand behind him. It is astounding that the Wilkes-Barre police union filed a grievance when the mayor fired an officer "accused of pointing his loaded duty weapon at two other city cops in the police station." Somebody who negligently points a firearm, and all firearms are assumed to be loaded, at another person requires disciplinary action and/or retraining at the very least, but somebody who does so intentionally does not belong in any kind of job where he carries or handles a weapon. A willful firearm safety violation should be a "one strike and you're out" offense. Bad police are therefore dangerous to other officers as well as to ordinary citizens. There are, however, two sides to most stories including the shooting in Ferguson that spawned Black Lives Matter in the first place. Here is a video in which a Black civil rights activist, who was previously highly critical of police, shot a "gentle giant" like Michael Brown in a simulated use of force exercise. His decision was correct because the other man was reaching for him and, even though he was unarmed, he could have taken the officer's weapon. Anybody who advances on a drawn gun is so malicious or deranged that one can reasonably assume one's life to be in danger. The activist and another participant were also "killed" by a suspect whose hands they allowed to go out of sight for a couple of seconds, and the same thing happened to me during a gun training simulation; the aggressor had a knife behind his back. This Facebook video meanwhile shows actual surveillance videos of criminals attacking police with guns and other weapons, and so quickly that the officers often cannot react in time. An instructor at FrontSight proved that the bad guy can shoot you while you are telling him to drop a pistol he is holding down by his side. He not only raised and fired the weapon before somebody could get past "Drop…," he hit the target in front of the backstop. That means that a real criminal with equivalent skills would have shot the law-abiding citizen or police officer that had ordered him to drop his weapon. A typical thug is not going to have equivalent skills, but nobody is obliged to bet his or her life on the proposition that their thug is typical. At about 1:55 in the Facebook video, an above-average thug draws a pistol from his waistband and shoots a police officer who already has his weapon in his hand. The outcome is totally contrary to the well-known adage that it is suicide to try to draw a weapon while the other person has one in his hand, and suggests that the officer should have shot the other man the instant his hand moved toward his pocket or waistband. The other side of the story recently came out in the Alton Sterling case. The police were not responding to a report of somebody peddling CDs without a license (much as Al Capp's Fearless Fosdick opened fire on a suspect for selling balloons without a license). A homeless man had apparently called 911 to report Sterling, or somebody who looked like him, for brandishing a gun. This video from Blue Lives Matter reinforces the point that there is another side to the story. It is also alleged that Philando Castile, who was killed during a traffic stop, had reached for his gun rather than his wallet. The BLM camp nonetheless rushed to judgment against these officers almost before investigations began, much as the Ku Klux Klan once rushed to judgment against Black suspects with a burning cross in one hand and a hangman's rope in the other. This is the camp that the Democratic National Committee supports officially while Barack Obama continues to defend BLM after the Dallas shooting. William A.

Black Panther Leader: We Want to Form Our Own Country

Monday, 11 Jul 2016 03:23 PM

A top leader of the radical People's New Black Panther Party says his group wants to gain major footholds in five Southern states to establish "our own government in a nation within a nation." Babu Omowale, the party's national minister of defense, told Breitbart News' Aaron Klein on his radio show, which aired Sunday on New York's AM 970 The Answer and News Talk 990 AM in Philadelphia: "We just need to start migrating back to those states and taking control of the economics in those states. If black people move in, most definitely white people will move out. So it's not a hard process for us to have our own country within a country … The end game is land ownership. The endgame is our own government in a nation within a nation. Okay. So we claim the states of Louisiana, we claim the states of Mississippi, we claim the states of South Carolina, we claim the states of Alabama, and we claim the states of Georgia." Omowale described the group's goals in the aftermath of the killings of two African Americans by police officers in Louisiana and Minnesota, followed by the mass murder of five police officers in Dallas by a sniper.

Exclusive: Bikers for Trump to Patrol Cleveland During RNC Convention; ‘Vets Are Our Backbone’

By Dustin Stockton12 Jul 2016

A large group of patriotic motorcycle enthusiasts will be among the visitors to Cleveland Ohio next week for the Republican National Committee meeting that will nominate business mogul Donald Trump to be the Republican nominee for President of the United States. Bikers for Trump aren’t going to Cleveland looking to cause trouble but will be on hand to counter thousands of professional leftwing agitators planning to disrupt the Republican nominating convention. “We will be there to make sure that the delegates are allowed to exercise their right to peacefully assemble,” Bikers for Trump organizer Chris Cox told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview. “We’ve seen how these paid agitators have thrown eggs and gotten violent at other Trump events around the country and we’re not going to put up with it.” Cox emphasized that Bikers for Trump weren’t looking for trouble at the convention. “Veterans are the backbone of the biker community,” Cox continued. “We are patriots and unlike Black Lives Matter and the other leftist idiots, we love our cops. You won’t find one biker in Cleveland jumping on cars, lighting fires, or doing any of the other stupid things we’ve gotten used to seeing on TV the last few months.” “Big” Jim Williams of Riders USA held a “Bikers for Trump” sign up at a rally in Arizona on July 10th, 2015 and the photo went viral. “I went to that first Trump rally with my Bikers for Trump sign and the next day the picture was all over the internet,” Big Jim told Breitbart News. “Donald Trump will say the things that need to be said and do the things that most politicians are too afraid to do.” Big Jim will be making the long ride from Phoenix to Cleveland to be in Cleveland during the convention and he sent a letter to his fellow bikers telling them why they should join him. In a copy of the letter provided to Breitbart News he says: The fact of the matter is we have become a nation of slaves… Now more than ever we need to come together as a nation and stand against tyranny and corruption. We need to stand against paid thugs and show them that things are done differently in America. If we don’t stand now, in Cleveland we are giving it to the third world thugs and will never get it back. We will soon be like every other cess pool of socialism or communism that these people are coming from and the things that we are so addicted to, that kept us from standing up will be gone and we will be powerless, living life the way we are told to live it. Our lives will be worthless and meaningless. None of the bikers Breitbart News spoke with wanted to say how many would attend. “The city of Cleveland gave us a hard time with our permits and so we haven’t really counted how many people are coming,” Cox said. “It’s probably better because I want to work with all the other people who are drawn to be there. I’ll be meeting with the secret service and the state and local police to let them know what we’re all about.” The bikers have also had significant success spreading the word on social media. The Facebook, “Bikers for Trump 2016” has more than 70,000 likes and has had months in which their reach counted in the millions. This video posted in April has nearly 250,000 views: Bikers For Trump Up State. Crew In route to Trump Rally in Albany Big Jim of Riders USA laid out what’s at stake in his letter: We will fight, or we will comply. Everybody talks a good game. Everybody gets piss ed of and pounds their chest. But very few people ever show up to fight. Like I said, the opposition wants it more than we do. Otherwise we would show up. Nothing could stop us. I am only one man. I can’t do much by myself, and I can’t afford to go. But I will be there. If we succeed in Cleveland, dealing with Hillary will be easy. If we lose in Cleveland you might as well get used to the smell of her ass, because you will be kissing it to survive. We have an opportunity to stand for freedom.What are we going to do.

FBI Director Comey was board member of HSBC – Clinton Foundation & Drug Cartel ‘bank of choice’

July 13, 2016 By 21wire

Much has been made recently about the FBI and the Department of Justice letting off favored presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for admittedly mishandling classified information and using her own private email servers to do state business during her time as US Secretary of State. FBI Director James Comey was manning the key choke-point in the decision to not hold Clinton accountable for what so many before her have received convictions for. What many are not aware of is the political and financial links between Hillary Clinton and James Comey behind the curtain. An argument can be made that FBI Director James Comey has multiple conflicts of interest when it comes to interfacing with the great and the good, and the Clintons in particular. Based on the evidence available to hand – one could easily flag-up Comey’s relationship and past and present involvement with questionable banks, and the Clintons – as a conflict of interest, if not an accessory to institutional corruption, where Comey’s role as a top-level ‘fixer’ is self evident – fixing outcomes for those members of an elite international club of high finance and organized crime. Many are unaware that Comey’s served on the board of banking giant HSBC (‘international drug money clearing house’) before parachuting softly into the head of the FBI in 2013. That’s only the beginning… It appears that James Comey (who is actually a lawyer by trade) also has long history of cases ending favorable to Clintons, including the case of Sandy Berger, a former Clinton Administration aid. During the Berger probe, Comey said publicly that ‘we take issues of classified information very seriously’, all the while seeming to undermine the scope of the investigation – presumably to protect the Clintons: “In 2004, Comey, then serving as a deputy attorney general in the Justice Department, apparently limited the scope of the criminal investigation of Sandy Berger, which left out former Clinton administration officials who may have coordinated with Berger in his removal and destruction of classified records from the National Archives. The documents were relevant to accusations that the Clinton administration was negligent in the build-up to the 9/11 terrorist attack.” “Curiously, Berger, Lynch and Cheryl Mills all worked as partners in the Washington law firm Hogan & Hartson, which prepared tax returns for the Clintons and did patent work for a software firm that played a role in the private email server Hillary Clinton used when she was secretary of state.” “Hogan & Hartson in Virginia filed a patent trademark request on May 19, 2004, for Denver-based MX Logic Inc., the computer software firm that developed the email encryption system used to manage Clinton’s private email server beginning in July 2013. A tech expert has observed that employees of MX Logic could have had access to all the emails that went through her account. In 1999, President Bill Clinton nominated [Loretta] Lynch for the first of her two terms as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, a position she held until she joined Hogan & Hartson in March 2002 to become a partner in the firm’s Litigation Practice Group.” (Source WND) Many will also be unaware that before Comey was installed by the Obama Administration as FBI Director, he was on the board of Director at HSBC Bank – a bank implicated in international money laundering, including the laundering of billions on behalf of international drugs and narcotics trafficking cartels. Good qualification to be FBI Director? Not really… Investment Watch Blog It seems that our beloved FBI Director is or until very recently was a director and board member of HSBC, which is tightly connected to the Clinton Foundation. Check out some of these links:

http://www.hsbc.com/news-and-insight/2013/former-us-deputy-attorney-general-joins-hsbc-board 

“Mr. Comey’s appointment will be for an initial three-year term which, subject to re-election by shareholders, will expire at the conclusion of the 2016 Annual General Meeting.”

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/feb/10/hillary-clinton-foundation-donors-hsbc-swiss-bank 

“Clinton foundation received up to $81m from clients of controversial HSBC bank”

https://www.clintonfoundation.org/search/node/HSBC 

It’s like a revolving door of money and special projects that the bank and the CF are involved in. This is the same HSBC that was accused of laundering drug cartel money, was heavily involved in the LIBOR scandal, and who knows what else, and all while our esteemed FBI Director James “she didn’t intend it” Comey was part of the senior leadership.

Clinton legal team moves to block deposition in email lawsuit

Right on the heals of learning that the FBI Director appears to be connected to Clinton Foundation Corruption Slush Fund, which comes just days after leaning that an alleged FBI insider made claims that the reason there was no Hillary indictment had far more to do with the far reaching tentacles of corruption from the Clinton Foundation, than Hillary's innocence of the crimes she was being investigated for.

Hillary’s Legal Team In Total Panic Mode; Moves to Block Deposition (Video)

By Voice of Reason · Wednesday, July 13th, 2016

Clinton Clinton legal team moves to block deposition in email lawsuit Right on the heals of learning that the FBI Director appears to be connected to Clinton Foundation Corruption Slush Fund, which comes just days after leaning that an alleged FBI insider made claims that the reason there was no Hillary indictment had far more to do with the far reaching tentacles of corruption from the Clinton Foundation, than Hillary's innocence of the crimes she was being investigated for. Now, it appears Hillary is still not out of the water. When Trey Gowdy skillfully outmaneuvered FBI Director Comey during his Congressional hearing as shown below, Gowdy more or less got Comey to admit Hillary perjured herself, and now some want perjury charges brought, but that's not all… In a previous post titled, no charges on Hillary’s email Server, however what about the THREE other felonies, I covered three felonies Hillary was guilty of, even if she was let go for the email server, hence why I keep referring to her a serial felon despite not being charged on the server issue. In the post mentioned, among the topics covered in the article and the video by me include the admission by Huma Abedin in a sworn deposition, that on several occasions Hillary ordered Abedin to burn her daily schedules, so that no one would ever know Hillary's whereabouts, or who she was meeting with on certain days, both of which are a direct violation of the Federal Records Act and a felonies. The following is the video I refer to… Lawyers for Hillary Clinton are going to federal court for the first time to block efforts to force her to testify in a civil lawsuit related to her private email set-up. Clinton's attorneys submitted a legal filing Tuesday morning in a bid to shut down a conservative group's request for an order forcing her to submit to a deposition in the midst of her presidential campaign. Clinton’s legal team said her testimony was unnecessary and superfluous in light of her questioning before the House Benghazi Committee last October and several State Department inquiries into the issue. “Despite this public testimony and the various investigative reports, Judicial Watch claims that it needs to depose Secretary Clinton, a former Cabinet Secretary, about six purportedly unanswered questions," the filing states. "The record, however, already answers those questions or makes clear that Secretary Clinton has no personal knowledge to provide.” Judicial Watch has asked to depose Clinton in a pair of Freedom of Information Act lawsuits which have raised questions about whether her private email system was created in part to avoid making messages accessible under FOIA. U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan has set a hearing for Monday on the request for Clinton’s testimony in one of the suits, a case demanding records about the arrangements of Clinton aide Huma Abedin. In the filing Tuesday, longtime Clinton attorney David Kendall leveled a series of legal arguments against Judicial Watch, even offering the politically awkward contention that a general effort by Clinton to thwart FOIA would not be enough to give the conservative group legal authority to proceed with its case. Kendall argued that a 1980 Supreme Court case that discussed the possibility of recovering records sought under FOIA but no longer in agency control "requires a close temporal connection between an official’s removal of records and a specific FOIA request." "That standard cannot be satisfied here. Judicial Watch’s FOIA request was submitted nearly four months after Secretary Clinton left the State Department, and there is no evidence that Secretary Clinton or anyone else at the Department knew that Judicial Watch would submit the request, let alone intended to circumvent it," Kendall wrote, along with attorneys Katherine Turner and Amy Zaharia. Clinton's legal team has never previously intervened directly in the lawsuits, which name the State Department as defendant. However, last year, Clinton did submit a declaration under penalty of perjury saying she'd instructed her attorneys to turn over all federal records in her possession to the State Department. Clinton said it was her belief that had been done. The State Department also filed a legal brief Tuesday opposing the call for Clinton to be deposed in the suit before Sullivan. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton called the resistance to a Clinton deposition troubling, in part because Clinton's brief argues that her server was entirely her property after she stepped down as secretary of state in February 2013. "It is no surprise that neither Hillary Clinton nor the Obama State Department agrees with our request to depose Mrs. Clinton," Fitton said. "It is both significant and disturbing that Hillary Clinton now asserts a private 'claim of right” over her non-state.gov email account, including any of the 55,000 pages of federal records she returned to the State Department."

Fiery Preaching Or Wimping Out In The Pulpit - Great Power & No Bowing To Baal -The Fire Of Elijah

July 13, 2016 Submitted to All News PipeLine by Minute To Midnite

The days of having the freedom to practice true Biblical Christianity in Western countries, and particularly in America without real persecution, may be numbered. One way to assure that the freedom to practice and live one's faith will be taken away, is if Christians do not rise up NOW and speak the truth, and have the courage to stand up against the tide of political correctness. We can expect to see a further move to marginalize Christianity and persecute true followers of Christ in the days ahead. The followers of Lucifer in their various guises march us relentlessly towards their despotic goals, and by and large the church does nothing to try to stop this. If you have been thinking that Russia may be a bastion of hope for Christianity in the world, or that Putin truly supports Christians, maybe you had better think again. A law was passed last week effectively making it illegal for Christians to evangelize in Russia! Shades of the old Soviet Union where there was no real religious freedom it would seem. But is that any real surprise, as we see the global march towards a Communistic, Socialistic Super State, with a small super capitalist elite at the head of it? The day where official “State-Run” churches are the only ones allowed in Russia seems not at all far off. Could America and the West go the same route as well? The law, which will come into force on July 20, will prohibit evangelism anywhere outside a church or religious site – including private homes and online – and those in breach of it will be fined. Only named members of religious organisations will be able to share their faith, and even informal witnessing between individuals is forbidden. (Via www.christiantoday.com ) With tolerance and acceptance of Islam being demanded in the Western World, in spite of the fact that it is obvious that in Islamic countries where Sharia Law is practiced, there is no tolerance for other religions such as Christianity, how should Christians react? With Transgender bathrooms and compliance with the LBGT agenda being pushed on schools, businesses and even in some churches, what role should Christians play? There appears to be a deliberate plot to undermine the traditional family unit, long held Christian values, and even legal Constitutions of countries such as the USA and others. This is being done in many ways, and Political Correctness seems to be one of the chief, and most cunning of tools that the puppet masters behind the scenes are using to further the agenda that is taking away the rights of people to freely practice their faith. Core Traditional Judeo-Christian values and beliefs are being systematically targeted for eradication, because they do not adhere to the agenda of the One World religious, and governmental system that the Luciferians behind the scenes are pushing us towards. Is the True Church going to rise up against the tide of political correctness and stand on the solid Word of The Bible regardless of the cost, or will Christians in the pews and Pastors wimp out and bow down to the agendas of Islam, The LBGT community, Satanists and other ungodly agendas? Though most seem to refuse to take a stand at this time, not all Pastors and not all churches will bow to these agendas. One Pastor who speaks out clearly that we must all stand now in truth and in the fire and power of the Holy Spirit and resist compromises to our faith is Pastor Terry L. Bates. 1 Kings 18:21-24 - And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.; Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the Lord; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men; Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken. Recently Pastor Bates has received some backlash for his holding to traditional values and refusing to compromise on Biblical teachings for the sake of political correctness. Several weeks ago 50-75 members of his congregation got up and walked out during a sermon. Why did they do that? Here is a quote from  Terry L. Bates as reported in an online article form Charisma Magazine that gives you the reason : "I used Elijah as the example of a 'Fire Starter,' and our need to raise up a new generation of 'Fire Starters' who would not be afraid to confront false religions (like Islam) and corrupt culture," Bates tells Charisma News. "Anyone (comedians, LGBT community, media) can say anything negative about Christianity and there are no repercussions for their actions or their words. But as soon as a Christian preaches or speaks against the false religion of Islam or against the agenda of the LGBT community and the transgender movement and their demands for us to make accommodations for and accept their lifestyle and agenda—then we face persecution. We are called intolerant and told that we are not being politically correct. So the question is how many churches, congregations and pastors will speak up now while they still have some rights to practice the Christian faith in a traditional Biblical sense, and how many will refuse to do so incase they offend people with the truth? How many ministers will risk losing members of their congregations and the money that they donate; or worse face law suits for refusing to violate their traditional biblical principles by holding to the truth? Listen to the followiing interview with Pastor Terry L. Bates on the A Minute To Midnite show, and then decide what position you will take at this time, as the Christian Church as a whole stands at a crossroads. I received an email from Joanie Stahl shortly after she listened to the interview I did with Pastor Terry Bates on the A Minute To Midnite Show. Joanie is an important part of our team, and this email was sent to everyone in our core team. I want to share a section of that email here because I believe it sums things up the current state of the church perfectly. Here is a quote from the email: Hey you guys, I just wanted to say how impressed I was with the latest interview with Pastor Terry Bates. This interview was important in light of the fact that one thing stands out above all else, and that is the knowledge that tons of people got up and walked out when he spoke the LGBT/muslim communities are welcome but not welcome to change the faith on which we stand. In essence I find that this was a sign of a larger demographic of the entire American church at large. And if this was done in the mid-west, imagine if this was preached in mega-church areas. I know that in this area that I live in, that Pastor would be called into an emergency meeting come Monday morning by the church board and a unanimous vote would slam down on the table for his resignation. Or a thorough firing. And all based on money. Because everybody makes money who works for the church. Plus the obvious is that the Church Age is over. We are just waiting for the Lord to come. Or an EMP attack or something that would fundamentally level Churchianity landscape. These people that were offended and stormed out represent a vast majority of so-called Believers. Because they are NOT Believers. They are counterfeit christians. Do not forget that verse that says, "In the latter times men will not put up with sound doctrine, but will gather unto themselves teachers having itching ears turning everyone from the faith." I may not have word for word said it exactly, as I am trying to remember that word from heart. But the message has never been clearer than now. This is not a breakdown. This is the final twitching of a nearly dead Church corpse before it gives its last gasp. The reality is here and Pastor Bates called it out 056- Pastor Terry L. Bates - Great Power & No Bowing To Baal - The Fire Of Elijah Show description: In Episode O56 of A Minute To Midnite Tony is joined by Pastor Terry L. Bates, an A.O.G pastor from Oklahoma City. A powerful message is presented here on how the Christian church needs to stand on the solid ground of scripture, and not be intimidated, cajoled or persuaded into watering down or changing the message found in the bible. "We welcome everyone to Faith regardless of your sexual orientation, race or religious beliefs. But we will not change the Gospel or modify our message in any way to accommodate any view or lifestyle that is contrary to the Word of God," Bates has said. The Pastor holds a position of preaching the truth in love-but at the same time preaching it without apology. Every Christian should hear the message presented in today's show. We stand at the threshold of both a great harvest of souls for the Kingdom Of God, and a great falling away into apostasy by many who profess faith in Christ. You must decide which side will you be on. Please visit www.aminutetomidnite.com  and also subscribe to our youtube channel.

IT'S NOT ABOUT ASSAULT RIFLES, IT'S ABOUT DEFENDING FREEDOM

By Ron Ewart July 13, 2016 NewsWithViews.com

In our recent article entitled, “What Was That 4th of July Freedom Again?” we described what happened to freedom since Patrick Henry uttered those immoral words, “Give Me Liberty, Or Give Me Death.” We laid out the details on the slow erosion of our freedoms. Oh yes, Americans have more liberties than the people in most countries, but is that the standard we are willing to accept? How much more degradation of our freedom will Americans tolerate? Will they suddenly find themselves in chains not knowing how they got there? The enumerated powers of the Federal Government were described in the U. S. Constitution in Article I, Section 8, Clause’s 1 through 18. In point of fact there were only 17 powers, the 18th being an implementing power to the first 17. Allegedly, all other rights belonged to the states and the people, but do they? The 10th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution states: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Today, what powers and what rights do the states and the people still retain? The Federal Government has greatly expanded the original 17 limited powers and in so doing has seriously diluted and degraded the powers of the states and the people. By bastardizing and twisting the “Commerce” and “Necessary and Proper” Clauses and supported by flawed decisions by the U. S. Supreme Court, they have blatantly usurped the sovereign powers and rights of the people. By virtue of this expansion of power, the Federal Government has become the Master of the people, one of the greatest fears expressed by many of the Founding Fathers in setting up a central government. So lets take this expansion of powers by the Federal Government to its logical conclusion ….. “absolute power.” Absolute power is absolute tyranny. How far is America from absolute power by the Federal Government ….. a fortnight, a month, a year, a decade, a generation, a century? That depends on the people and how willing they are to defend freedom. Local, state and federal government politicians mistakenly believe, at their own peril, that if they pass law after law against the citizens of America, especially if those laws fall outside of the expected freedoms most Americans believe are their unalienable rights, they are somehow immune from some of those Americans striking back with violence. First, it will be isolated incidents like the man near Denver, mad at local authorities over zoning issues, outfitted his large bulldozer with steel plates and small holes to see through, brought it to the planning department's office and leveled the building before he committed suicide. Then there is the case of a man somewhere in Arizona that couldn't trim his own hedges himself and had to have it done by the contracted landscaper of the gated community he lived in, at his cost of course. He sued the community and lost. His next action was violence. He took a shotgun to the community meeting and killed two of the commissioners. He will be in jail for the rest of his life. A disgruntled contractor in Kirkwood, MO, just south of St. Louis, with a history of acrimony against civic leaders, stormed City Hall during a council meeting, yelled "Shoot the mayor!" and opened fire, killing two police officers and three city officials before law enforcers fatally shot him. It seems that the man was frequently at odds with the zoning commission. He ran a contracting business from his home and was often cited for storing materials that didn’t meet code. Does any of this sound familiar? It especially does to the American rural landowner who is assaulted every day by growing land use and environmental regulations. As law after law is added to the already voluminous law books, law breaking will become the norm and the incidents we cited above will increase. Violence will follow the law breaking as government exerts more police power to enforce the growing number of insane and unenforceable laws. As government tyranny and enforcement rises and politicians and bureaucrats, at every level of government, continue to squeeze Americans with new and more draconian laws, violence will be the final arbiter, unless WE THE PEOPLE rise up en masse and peaceably take control of our government and bring it back to the principles of constitutional law that the Founding Fathers created for us, at great cost. What we have now is a government run amok by special interests and politicians only too eager to pander to those special interests for the money and political influence they will need to win the next election. On the other side we have an electorate that is oblivious to the corruption that goes on at every level of government and doesn't seem to care one whit. They don't care at their own peril. Nevertheless, having said this in the context of the Second Amendment, let us be clear: “Under almost every circumstance we do not condone violence in any form.” But some citizens, who are frustrated with the unreasonable and in some cases treasonable actions of government, will resort to violence to relieve their pent up anger and frustration. No matter how much the politicians shield themselves with a huge police presence at government meetings and conferences, or when they are alone out in the community, some Americans will resort to violence against those they think are responsible for their grief and frustration and will find a way to deliver that violence. Being a politician will eventually become extremely hazardous, unless politicians wise up and return to the principles of freedom and liberty laid down for us and paid for by the blood of countless brave men and women that have gone before us. If you squeeze a ripe tomato too hard, it will ooze out between your fingers. If you squeeze Americans too hard, unintended and sometimes violent consequences will be the result. It is an inescapable fact, which way too many ignore. So what is the solution to the evolution of government absolute power and absolute tyranny? The Founders gave us that solution in the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment was not about hunting, or defending yourself against criminals, although worthwhile elements. The Second Amendment was about defending yourself and your loved ones against absolute government power and absolute government tyranny. During the American Revolution, both sides had roughly the same weapons; swords, muskets, pistols, gunpowder and cannons. But today both sides do not have the same weapons. The government has the weapons that could easily annihilate the entire population of America and the power to totally enslave anyone that survives. The imbalance in weapons and power between the government and the people is the difference between a cannon ball and a grain of sand. If the Second Amendment is to remain relevant in today’s world of super weapons, the people must be able to arm themselves to the point of at least giving them an edge, albeit a slight one. That edge is the assault rifle. If every American household had an assault weapon on the premises and was trained to use it, there would be a lot less crime and government wouldn’t be so quick to continue degrading our liberties by passing zillions of unconstitutional laws and turning America into a police state. The question as to how much of an edge the people should have against government tyranny has raged for many decades. Should the people have hand grenades, bazookas, mortars, tanks, aircraft and other heavy weapons? The general consensus is that in an ordered and peaceful society such weapons in the hands of the general population would pose a serious risk to others in the population. That is a strong and logical argument. So where does society draw the line and still be compatible with the roots of the Second Amendment? We have already seen that hand guns and rifles also pose a threat to the general population. Using that same argument, why then should people be allowed to own handguns and rifles? Again, using that argument, English and Australian governments outlawed the ownership of guns. Correspondingly, crime in both countries rose because the criminal, who is always able to obtain weapons on the black market, prey on a defenseless population. In contrast, the people of Switzerland are encouraged to own and train with guns. They don’t have a lot of crime in Switzerland. Yes, in a free society, some deranged people or terrorists will take a handgun, a rifle, an assault weapon, or a bomb and turn it on other people, as happened in San Bernardino, Orlando, Aurora, Columbine, Sandy Hook and now Dallas. In each case an armed man or woman could have dispatched the shooter, with a lot less loss of life. But in all those cases we cite, only in Dallas did the victims of the shooter (the police) have guns. Unfortunately, the news and social media play the tragic events endlessly for days at a time, stirring up gullible people into believing that the only solution is to ban assault rifles, bullets, or even take all weapons away from the private citizen. Democrats are the champions of these efforts and make no mistake, if the Democrats had their way, they would ban the ownership of handguns, rifles and assault weapons and even bullets, as did the liberals in England and Australia. On America’s present course, the Democrats could very well be successful in that goal. But every time the Democrats call for more gun control in America, gun sales rise dramatically, virtually overnight. There are now more guns in America than there are people. One in three Americans own one or more guns. Since Obama took office in 2009, just to meet the growing demand, gun manufacturing rose from 5.5 million guns in 2009, to over 11 million guns in 2013 and gun manufacturing and gun sales are still on the rise in 2016. (Source: NPR) Two people we know stated emphatically to us, they don’t know why anyone should own an assault weapon, the argument being you don’t need an assault weapon to go hunting. They ignore the fundamental purpose of the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment was never about types of weapons, or hunting, or even your personal safety. It was and is about defending freedom. It’s about holding government in check. It’s about stopping government tyranny. It’s about not allowing government to evolve into absolute power. A Japanese admiral was purported to have said during World War II why he wouldn’t invade America. He said, “because there would be a gun behind every tree.” The admiral was right then and he is right today. In Wisconsin alone, there are over 600,000 people with hunting permits. It is easy to assume that a large portion of that 600,000 own guns. That’s just one state. An armed society, whether handguns, rifles, or assault weapons, is a significant and necessary deterrent against government tyranny and absolute power. The question is, when do the people invoke the Second Amendment to derail a government bent on absolute power? If the American government, at all levels, continues this vicious and relentless assault on the American people and their liberties, on the guise of social justice, radical environmentalism, multi-culturalism, political correctness and the one-world-order, that question may be answered sooner than any of us think. For those interested in all types of weapons and weapon manuals, we have a weapons page on the NARLO website HERE. And, if you want to defend yourself against government without resorting to violence, we have developed four (4) effective defenses HERE.

Putin prepares for World War III: Hundreds of military vehicles including mobile ballistic missile launchers take part in simulated launch drills across Russia

Hundreds of military vehicles are taking part in exercises across Russia

Among them are mobile intercontinental ballistic missile launchers

Footage has shown the vehicles rolling through woods of the Altay region

By Jennifer Newton for MailOnline Published: 05:11 EST, 13 July 2016 | Updated: 06:07 EST, 13 July 2016

Hundreds of military vehicles including mobile intercontinental ballistic missile launchers have been taking part in simulated military drills across Russia. Footage has shown up to 400 vehicles take part in the exercise by rolling through wooded areas of the Altay region. Among them were autonomous missile launchers including the Topol, Topol-M and the Yars as well as drones and hundreds of troops. According to RT, crews manning the missile launchers are always training and the focus of the current drill was counter-sabotage measures. The launchers are protected by special units of troops who specialise in detecting enemy forces, who might be waiting, and to eliminate their threat. The Russian defence ministry explained that the summit of the drills is going to be conducting simulated launches by crews of mobile missile launchers taking part in the exercise, the ministry said. The drills come as NATO and Russia hold their first talks since the alliance agreed at a summit in Warsaw to beef up its presence in eastern Europe due to fears over the Kremlin's expansionism. The meeting between ambassadors from the 28-nation alliance and Russia is the first since April and just the second since 2014, when the Ukraine crisis plunged relations into a deep freeze. The alliance said it would brief Moscow on last week's decision to send four battalions totalling around 4,000 soldiers to Poland and the Baltic states, which have been nervous ever since Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea. Moscow said it would discuss the risks of the US missile shield that NATO declared operational at the summit in the Polish capital, as well as improving airspace safety over the Baltic. Russia has been strongly critical of the NATO decision, accusing the alliance of aggression and warning that it will react to the deployment of forces in its former Soviet backyard. But NATO said it was acting purely defensively.

Exclusive: Bush Operatives Sabotaged Trump Effort To Make Release of ’28 Pages’ Part of GOP Platform

Trump insisted on making declassification of documents on Saudi involvement in 9/11 an official party pledge

Paul Joseph Watson - July 12, 2016

Donald Trump insisted that the redacted 28 pages of the 9/11 report which detail Saudi Arabia’s role in attacks be included in the GOP’s official platform, but the proposal was later rejected after pressure from Bush operatives, sources have told Infowars.com. On Monday, the national security subcommittee of the GOP platform committee approved a plank that calls for the declassification of the 28 pages which read as follows; Delivering Transparency on Foreign Government Ties to 9/11 As the nation continues to confront terrorism at home and abroad, the American people are being denied access to information that can provide vital insight into the funding of Islamic extremism: 28 classified pages from a 2002 joint congressional intelligence inquiry into the September 11 attacks. A former senator who co-chaired the inquiry says the pages “point a very strong finger at Saudi Arabia as being the principal financier” of the 9/11 attacks and that, by shielding the kingdom from consequences for its actions, the redaction has encouraged its continued sponsorship of extremism and paved the way for the rise of ISIS. President Obama twice promised 9/11 family members he would release the pages, which could be invaluable in their pursuit of justice in the courtroom. However, his administration has refused to declassify them, even in the face of bipartisan support for their release that includes former 9/11 Commission members and 73 current representatives and senators. These pages must be released. As Thomas Jefferson said, “An enlightened citizenry is indispensable for the proper functioning of a republic. Self-government is not possible unless the citizens are educated sufficiently to enable them to exercise oversight.” The plank, introduced by Maine state senator Eric Brakey, was subsequently rejected by the full GOP platform committee despite hopes that the resolution would pass. According to sources close to the Trump campaign, Trump himself threw his full support behind including the 28 pages promise on the platform, but Bush family operatives worked feverishly to sabotage the effort. “Bush operative Ron Kaufman was seen pulling committee members from the meeting and begging members not to embarrass “the President,” according to our source. The 28 pages were originally classified by the Bush administration in 2002 on “national security” grounds, but pressure has been building for their release ever since. Back in April, Trump said that the revelations contained in the classified 28 pages were “profound” in what they revealed about “Saudi Arabia’s role” in the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Infowars reporter Richard Reeves asked Jeb Bush if he would like to see the release of the 28 pages back in February, to which Bush curtly responded, “Yeah I’d like to see ’em, you got ’em?”

How the Dallas Shootings Serve the Elite’s Race Wars and Police State Agenda

By VC on July 12, 2016 Vigilant Reports

A “lone sniper” killed 5 police officers while injuring 11 others amidst a protest against police killings. This violent event occurred at a strategic time and perfectly serves the elite’s race war agenda. Was Micah Johnson a patsy of the elite? The violent deaths of two Black men at the hand of police has prompted, once again, nationwide protest against police killings, especially within the Black community. The fact that the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile were recorded on film only accentuated the outrage throughout the U.S. as viewers witnessed the graphic and sickening sight of murder. The videos also prevented police from providing an “official”, whitewashed account of the events. These deaths ignited yet another national debate around the use of lethal force by police in situations devoid of immediate danger. Once again, Americans were faced with the fact that law enforcement has violated its own motto “to serve and protect” by killing citizens who could and should have been handled in a controlled and professional matter. The resulting debate on the role and responsibilities of law enforcement was, however, quickly replaced by something more in tune with the elite’s agenda: Fear and racial division. Indeed, less than 48 hours after the police killings and at the height of national protest, a Black gunman shot and killed 5 police officers while injuring 11 others during a Black Lives Matter march in Dallas. The killer was later identified as Micah Johnson, a military veteran who “wanted to kill white people”. The powers that be could not have asked for a better event to change the narrative, polarize the population, accentuate racial division and justify more police oppression. So was Micah Johnson a patsy programmed to carry out this elite-friendly operation? Difficult to say for sure. However, a look at the killer’s story provides important insight as his strange path is indeed symptomatic of a programmed slave. Johnson lived in Mesquite, Texas with his mother in a middle-class suburban home. His friends described him as “sweet-hearted joker” who was involved in his community and worked with special-needs children. In 2009, Johnson enrolled in the military. When he graduated in 2009 he joined the Amy Reserve serving in the 420th Engineer Brigade based at Seagoville, Texas where he became a carpentry and masonry specialist. He underwent basic weapons training but was described by one fellow serviceman as a “terrible shot”. In November 2013 Johnson was deployed to Bagram air base in Afghanistan. His job would have involved him in construction work on the base and there was no record of him being in a combat role, although there were photographs of him in military vehicles. – The Telegraph, Dallas shooting: Who was Micah Johnson? Everything we know about the attacker It was during his stint in the military that Johnson took a turn for the worse. According to several acquaintances, Johnson returned from Afghanistan a changed man. “When he returned home in July 2014 friends said Johnson had changed, seeming withdrawn and to have lost the Christian faith instilled in him by his church-going mother.” – Ibid. “Johnson changed, she said. He was quieter, more reclusive and withdrawn, and would talk about the horrors of war. Before his tour, he was sweet and quiet, and would help other kids in the community, a neighbourhood she described as mixed, where people of all races and religions live.” – CBC News, Dallas sniper ‘was not the same’ after time in Afghanistan, next-door neighbour says “Micah Johnson went from being an extrovert to a “hermit”, Delphine Johnson told The Blaze website. The military was not what Micah thought it would be,” she said. “He was very disappointed.” – BBC, Micah Johnson: Dallas killer ‘changed’ by military experience Johnson was sent home from the military after he was accused of sexual harassment by a female who told superiors he needed “mental help”. He may have joined the military a “sweet and quiet” person, but Johnson returned to American angry and unstable. What happened during his stay in the military? Could his drastic change be attributed to post-traumatic stress disorder (although he was “specialized in carpentry and masonry” and was assigned to building duties)? Could he have been subjected to MK-ULTRA programming during his military career? It’s impossible to know. One thing is certain: Military bases are a prime location for Delta programming – the mind-control program to train killers. DELTA is known as “killer” programming and was originally developed for training special agents or elite soldiers (i.e. Delta Force, First Earth Battalion, Mossad, etc.) in covert operations. Optimal adrenal output and controlled aggression is evident. Subjects are devoid of fear and very systematic in carrying out their assignment. Self-destruct or suicide instructions are layered in at this level. Military bases are isolated, highly secured and packed with the necessary equipment to train and program a Delta alter. However, subjecting a victim to drugs and trauma in order to breakdown the core persona and to create an alter than can be triggered at will can lead to mental instability. When Johnson was sent home for “sexual harassment” (which is usually dealt with using counseling in the military), he sought involvement with Black power groups. But his background barred him from joining. Ken Moore of the Collective Black People’s Movement (CBPM) said that he was asked to look into Johnson by an unidentified black activist group. When he discovered the Army veteran was discharged for sexual harassment, he labelled him “unfit for recruitment.” Malik Shabazz, former chair of the New Black Panther Party, told The Daily Beast that the background check system described by Moore effectively blacklisted Johnson from membership in black nationalist and black liberation groups across the country. “Once you’re blacklisted by the alert that we put out, that’s a wrap,” Moore told The Daily Beast. – The Daily Beast, Dallas Cop-Killer Micah Johnson Was Blacklisted by Black-Power Groups as ‘Unstable’ In the wake of the Dallas shootings, strange facts about Johnson have surfaced in the media. First, as it is often the case in false flag operations, conflicting and contradictory information was reported by the news. Early information described a “team of coordinated snipers” carrying out killings from buildings. Law enforcement later claimed that a lone gunman carried out all of the killings. Law enforcement originally suspected two shooters were present at the attack, but Chief David Brown said that Johnson, who was an Army reservist, had studied “shoot and scoot” tactics, where he would change locations quickly after firing off a series of rounds. On Friday, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings described Johnson as “a mobile shooter” who had written manifestos on how to “shoot and move”. – The Independent, Dallas shooter Micah Johnson wrote cryptic message in his own blood on wall before he died Some observers wondered how one man could have killed so many armed officers, when coordinated attacks from multiple snipers appears to be a more plausible strategy. No matter what the case may be, after the death of Micah Johnson, more strange facts surfaced about him, many of which point towards his being a patsy. Police are trying to decipher the meaning of a cryptic message left by the suspect in the Dallas shooting amid reports that he was planing an additional attack on a much larger scale. During two hours of negotiations with officers in, he taunted authorities, laughing at them and at one point asking how many officers he had shot, according to the city’s police chief. Johnson insisted on speaking with a black negotiator and wrote in blood on the wall of a parking garage where police cornered and later killed him, David Brown told CNN’s State Of The Union. – The Independent, Dallas shooter Micah Johnson wrote cryptic message in his own blood on wall before he died In short, many facts point towards him being programmed to carry out a strategically timed action to advance the elite’s agenda. What would the elite gain from such a horrific event? The advantages are manifold. Militarization of Police and Police State Tactics Micah Johnson was killed by a police robot equipped with a bomb. This unprecedented method of neutralizing a threat has raised ethical questions, as it is indeed one of the first cases of police killing an individual using a robotic device. Was there a better event to introduce this new killing method? On a larger scale, these type of events justify the militarization of police as a whole, complete with military grade equipment and guerrilla tactics. As more crimes involve military tactics, the police will be justified to use a military-style response. The concepts of domestic terrorism and martial law are becoming an integral part of law enforcement vocabulary. The Dallas shootings also justified a more immediate action, in the use of military grade force by police against protesters. Race War The most profound effect of the Dallas shootings is related to an important agenda in America: Racial division and the instigation of race wars. There are currently leaders in both Black and White communities who are working towards the provocation of a race war. Coincidentally or not, profound and explosive division within the population is exactly what the elite is looking for. “Divide and conquer” is the oldest strategy in the book of those in power and it remains the most effective one. A population united against a police state is bad for the elite. A population divided against itself around issues that do not concern the elite is great for the elite. In Conclusion The Dallas shootings were carried out by a man who was “institutionalized” by the military system. His story and actions are symptomatic of an MK Delta slave, programmed to carry out strategic killings on behalf of the elite and to take the ultimate fall for it. We may never know the full story, but the truth remains the same. The attack attributed to Micah Johnson is perfectly in line with the elite’s goals: It has justified more police state action while swiftly advancing an even more brutal component of the agenda: Race wars.

Global Economy Critical Condition Code Blue-Rob Kirby

By Greg Hunter On July 13, 2016 In Market Analysis

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com

Macroeconomic analyst Rob Kirby says don’t trust the stock market’s rise to new all-time highs. The global economy is in terminal trouble, and Kirby explains, “My view of the financial system as it sits today is we are in an intensive care unit, and we have a lot of tubes and wires connected to us right now. The question you are asking me is how long is a person in critical condition in an intensive care unit going to live? I don’t really know the answer to it other than we could get a code blue any day. We could get a code blue tomorrow . . . code blue is when somebody has passed.” Kirby also says, “This is the real world that we live in, and most of our neighbors and friends are having a tough time making ends meet. There is a huge, huge contradiction from what we hear from officialdom and what we are all experiencing on the street. As to the record highs in the financial markets, everybody should know about the ‘Plunge Protection Team’ or ‘The Presidents Working Group on Financial Markets’ and know that the hand of government is tweaking or propping up markets around the world. The onslaught of freshly produced new money can do wonders for paper assets. What all this fresh new paper doesn’t do is create new physical precious metal because new precious metal doesn’t come from a Gutenberg Press. It cannot be printed into existence with key strokes. . . . That creates a problem for officialdom because the demand for physical precious metal has been spiraling up. . . . The central banking committee, spearheaded by the U.S. Treasury and the Exchange Stabilization Fund, has been throwing unprecedented amounts of paper promises of metal at the markets to stem the rise which should have been much bigger in free markets than the recent rise we have seen in both gold and silver. . . . This does not diminish the outcome that will ultimately happen. The outcome that will ultimately happen is the price of gold and silver will trade at many multiples than they currently are because the paper market will be so discredited that it will turn into a cash and carry type of market. This is coming. . . . The LBMA and the COMEX in New York will show themselves they are complete and utter frauds that they are because the amount of paper they continue to sell will ultimately discredit them.” Kirby says the metal central banks are most fearful of is silver. Kirby says, “Silver is Kryptonite to central bankers. . . . Why? Because they don’t have any. They don’t have physical stores of silver to feed into the market to beat the price down. So, recently, to stem the rise of silver, they have really been attacking the price of gold. The whole notion there is if they beat the price of gold down, silver will decline in sympathy with the attack on gold.” On the ongoing dispute with China losing part of its claim to the South China Sea at The Hague, Kirby says, “It’s really just another case of rising geo-political tensions. In recent weeks, Vladimir Putin has been making some very strong statements regarding the actions of the West and NATO, very provocative actions. Putin actually issued a very terse warning to the West last week saying we were headed for a nuclear conflict if the West’s aggressive posture continues.” So, does the West want war? Kirby contends, “Typically, when money fails, the elites take us to war. That is a constant in history.” Join Greg Hunter as he goes One-on-One with Rob Kirby, founder of KirbyAnalytics.com.

'It looked like a scene out of the Walking Dead': THIRTY-THREE people collapse on the same New York street at 9AM after taking a bad batch of synthetic marijuana 'K2'

More than 30 people overdosed simultaneously around 9.30am

Witnesses saw them pass out, vomit, urinate and twitch in middle of roads

It is believed they consumed same batch of K2 sold at a Brooklyn store

The neighborhood has become known as 'ground zero' for K2 addicts

All 33 were hospitalized nearby and are expected to survive

By Anneta Konstantinides For Dailymail.com Published: 20:24 EST, 12 July 2016 | Updated: 08:24 EST, 13 July 2016

It was like a scene from an episode of The Walking Dead. But it wasn't zombies who could barely stand, it was New Yorkers. And it wasn't an apocalyptic infection they were suffering from - but the same bad batch of bad drugs. Thirty-three people were hospitalized for a possible overdose on K2, a type of synthetic marijuana, in Brooklyn on Tuesday morning. Witnesses reported seeing more than a dozen people passing out, vomiting, urinating and twitching in the middle of the street around 9.30am in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. They reportedly reacted to the drug almost simultaneously near Broadway and Myrtle Ave, an intersection that has become known as 'ground zero' for K2 addicts in the city. Lindsay Foehrenbach, a resident of the neighborhood for the last 11 years, described the 'appalling' scene to Daily Mail Online. 'People just kept showing up and then quickly dropping to the ground, flopping over hoods of cars, or crumpling onto the sidewalk,' she said. 'They all seemed oblivious to their surroundings and just couldn't stay on their feet. I saw four ambulances show up and more entering the intersection as I was leaving.' Foehrenbach said one man was spread eagle and lying face down on the ground. Another man laid down in the street between two parked cars. His shoes were off and he was unresponsive. Resident Brian Arthur likewise witnessed the 'horrible' scene. 'Some of them were motionless. This is nothing you'd want your kids to see,' he told the New York Daily News. Arthur, 38, filmed the incredible scene and posted it on his Facebook, showing people who couldn't stand up straight and had to be held up by officers as they waited for a stretcher. 'This is no joke over here right now, this is tragic,' Arthur says as his camera moves from one passed-out New Yorker to the next. 'This is crazy. Tell your kids, tell your family, stay off of that man.' Arthur said it was mostly young, teenage boys who he saw overdosing in the street. Police first received a report of multiple people with an 'altered mental status' outside a Brooklyn community garden on Stockton Street. Officers found eight intoxicated individuals before discovering nine more, according to the New York Post. 'Obviously it was a bad batch, a source told the Post. 'They are lucky they didn't die.' Authorities said all of the hospitalized patients were expected to survive. K2 contains man-made chemicals that act on the same cell receptors in the brain that THC does in natural marijuana. It is dirt cheap, often sold for one to five dollars for a stick or package. Researchers have found instances in which chemicals in synthetic marijuana can bind much more strongly to cell receptors than THC, producing stronger effects. Because the chemicals vary from packet to packet, the effects of K2 are unpredictable and can change from use to use, according to the New York City Health Department. Effects of K2, which is packaged under names like Spice, AK-47, Smacked, and Dank, can include extreme anxiety, confusion, paranoia, and hallucinations. More than 6,000 people have been sent to the emergency room in New York because of K2 since 2015 and there have been two confirmed deaths caused by the drug. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio signed a bill in October that made it illegal to sell or produce K2, making it a crime punishable by up to a year in jail and fines of more than $100,000. In May he announced that there had been an 85 percent decline in K2-related emergency visits in the last 10 months. But on Stockton Street the drug remains a constant problem for residents, who had taken to putting up handwritten signs that read 'No Smoking K2'. They're like walking zombies,' said Jimmy Bravo, a clerk at a local bodega told the New York Daily News. 'Ambulances pick them up night and day, 24 hours. Cops see them but they don't do nothing.' Foehrenbach said Tuesday was 'far, far, worse than usual'. 'Today was unprecedented,' she told Daily Mail Online. The longtime resident said she had observed a K2 problem in the neighborhood for the past two years, but said it had really escalated in recent months. 'Our local community gardens have become a popular spot for this,' she said. 'As a result they're plagued with people passed out, loitering, trash and public urination.' The NYPD said in a statement there has been a regular and 'targeted enforcement' in the area that has resulted in 'multiple arrests and seizures of K2'. Neighbors said police frequently raid the bodega for K2. It is believed that Big Boy Deli has become the 'sole distributor' of the drug in the area, according to DNAInfo.com. Foehrenbach said she has been told that everyone is aware the problem is stemming from the Deli. 'I do think that the owners of this deli should be ashamed of themselves,' she said. 'They care less about the neighborhood that supports them and more about the almighty dollar.' 'They are willing to poison a population of already vulnerable people, let the fallout spill over the surrounding street and let everyone else clean up the mess while they profit.' Residents who lived in the neighborhood's nearby homeless shelter and treatment clinics said emergency workers warmed them that a bad batch of K2 was going around. The New York Health Department said it is investigating and monitoring emergency rooms across the city.

The Heavens: Crazy Apocalyptic Clouds All Over The World Showcase the End Times, Portals and Geoengineering

Signs of the end times are appearing all over the Earth; but the wonders are seen in the heavens. The clouds showcase that portals are being opened and the effects that geoengineering has on the sky. However, there is even more showcased in these clouds. Rare cloud formations known as phenomena are happening almost on a weekly basis. Some of these cloud formations have not been seen in nearly sixty years; yet they show up in two places at once nowadays. The flooding, the storms, the wild weather, all of this is a sign of things to come because mankind will not listen to the warnings. Acts 2:19 – 19 And I will show wonders in heaven above, and tokens in the earth beneath, blood, and fire, and the vapors of smoke  The environment around us is changing and causing crazy signs in the skies. Extraordinary weather events are happening all around the world, raising questions as to what is taking place. While mainstream media is blaming global warming for these rare occurrences, we see them as a change in the Earth caused by chaotic machines like the LHC. On top of the wild skies we have seen recently, one photograph taken near CERN caused major controversy, to check it out see the video below. On June 24th, 2016, a strange portal like cloud appeared above Geneva, Switzerland, where CERN is located. The meaning of certain clouds paint a picture of what is to come. More signs in the heavens have included blood, the whale, a stairway, portals, ufos, and rainbows (to see these click the video below). We can expect more instances like this according to Acts 2:19, “And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath.” Keep your eyes open for more signs in the sky and the Earth, things are getting more wild every day.

Thousands of Soldiers Arrested as Turkish Officials Declare Coup Attempt Foiled

VOA News Last updated on: July 16, 2016 11:42 AM

Turkish officials say that some 2,839 soldiers and officers who staged an attempted coup late Friday have been arrested, as the president accused an exiled cleric of organizing the plot. As many as 2,745 judges reportedly have been suspended for allegedly having links to the cleric, Fetullah Gulen. Turkish media also report that 140 arrest warrants have been issued against members of Turkey's Supreme Court. Islamic preacher Fetullah Gulen, who lives in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania, denied he was behind the plot. On Saturday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said that Turkey has not made a formal extradition request for Gluen, but the U.S. would consider it if Ankara presents solid evidence of wrongdoing. NATO member Turkey is a key U.S. ally in the war against Islamic State terrorists. The coalition against IS depends on Turkey to keep a stable and sealed border to prevent new foreign fighters from reaching the terror group. Prime Minister Binali Yildrim addressed the nation Saturday afternoon, calling the night a "dark stain for the Turkish state." Earlier in a televised address, Acting Chief of Staff Umit Dundar praised the "historic cooperation of the state and the people of Turkey," but warned that the actions of the soldiers who staged the coup would not be so easily forgiven. "Turkey has witnessed the madness of a group which fired at and bombed its own parliament, its own people, its own resources. This will never be forgotten,” he said. There are varying reports of the number of people who have been killed in clashes, but officials have reported at least 161 dead. There are also reports that Turkish officials have halted American warplanes from taking off from Incirlik air base. American officials say they are seeking an explanation. Tense Situation in Istanbul, Ankara Earlier Saturday, police officers and military traded gunfire at Taksim Square with reports saying military soldiers then laid down their arms. Televised news reports also showed footage of dozens of soldiers walking away from their tanks with their arms raised, surrendering to government forces on Istanbul's Bosporus Bridge. U.S. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry issued a statement calling on all parties in Turkey to support the country's democratically elected government. Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic relations told VOA the coup should be rejected and denounced. "Any attempt to delegitimize and take over the government is an assault on the will of the Turkish people because they elected that government through the ballot box and bullets should not be used in any fashion to take away that will so we denounce it and we ask all people to stand with Turkey and Turkish people," he said. Speaking to the people Events began Friday when the army released a statement read on Turkish television saying it had "fully seized control" of the government to protect democracy and maintain human rights. Erdogan, who conducted a FaceTime interview with CNN Turk late Friday, urged the Turkish people to go to the streets to protest the soldiers' actions. He said those behind the move are associated with U.S.-based Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen, a former ally of Erdogan who has accused the president of corruption. In a statement, Gulen condemned "in the strongest terms" the coup attempt. "As someone who suffered under multiple coups during the past five decades, it is especially insulting to be accused of having any link to such an attempt," he said. Issues facing Turkey There is also concern as to how a series of other issues will be impacted by the coup attempt, including the fate of Turkey's Kurdish population, and those in Iraq and Syria, too, as well as the involvement of Russia and Iran in the region. Earlier in the week, CIA Director John Brennan admitted to disagreements between the United States and Turkey, and not just over Syria, where the U.S. has repeatedly urged Turkey to do more to crack down on IS insurgents. "There are some things that are going on inside the Turkish political system that are subject to a lot of debate and even controversy," he said. "But I'll just leave it that we do work closely with the Turks," Brennan added. "I have very close interaction with my Turkish counterpart."

Commentary: Coup or not, Erdogan is still the likely winner in Turkey

By Howard Eissenstat Sat Jul 16, 2016 12:34am EDT

Corrupt, egomaniacal and repressive, there is not much to recommend Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan’s rule – save the inescapable fact that he is the democratically elected head of state. And that he is a politician who shines brightest in a fight. Erdoğan is not going to give up. He has millions of supporters who will give their lives for him. He has the support of all the opposition parties. And, because he’s won three elections – he is in the right. Friday night, the streets of Istanbul were filled with people. Mosques in Turkey had been calling the people into the street. Erdoğan was giving the same message on national television – through a FaceTime linkup. One man later shouts back at the television screen, “I am a Kurd from Bingöl and I will die [for you].” Early Saturday morning, Erdoğan again appears on television, now surrounded by supporters at the Istanbul airport. There are continued reports of jets buzzing Ankara and Istanbul. Turkey’s military has long felt a sense of ownership of the country. Its first leaders, Kemal Atatürk and İsmet İnönü, were former generals. After democratic elections in 1950, Turkey experienced three military coups - in 1960, 1971, and 1980. Each was bloodier and more repressive than the last. In 1997, the military staged what has been called a “post-modern coup,” and sent then-Prime Minister Necmettin Erbakan packing with a memo. There was nothing “post-modern” about the coup attempt that shook Turkey Friday night. Military units were in the streets, main arteries were shut down. The ruling Justice and Development Party, or AKP, a center-right party with roots in political Islam, has dominated Turkish politics since 2002. It only came to power by facing off with the military. In 2007, generals attempted to repeat their 1997 success with a “midnight memorandum,” which condemned the candidacy of AKP politician Abdullah Gül, a close ally of Erdoğan, as the next president of the republic. Erdoğan, however, faced the generals down, and Gül took his place in the presidential palace until Erdogan was elected to the post seven years later. Erdoğan quickly reconfigured the largely ceremonial post into a powerful job. At one point, AKP leadership played an important role and could challenge Erdoğan on policy issues. No longer. Ministers serve at the president’s pleasure. Policy is determined in a new and grandiose presidential palace. Erdoğan has made clear that his ambition is to change the constitution to create a presidential system that would render into law what is already political reality. For years, Erdoğan has waged war against the military: Hundreds of officers were targeted under trumped-up charges, others were forced into retirement. Meanwhile, the police and intelligence services were strengthened to act as a counter-weight to the military. In the past two years, however, it seemed that Erdoğan and the military had come to terms. Certainly, they united in waging their no-holds-barred war on the resurgent Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). The fighting has displaced hundreds of thousands of Kurds. It has leveled whole neighborhoods, with no end in sight. It was clear, however, that many officers were unhappy with Erdoğan. They were resentful of the abuse their comrades had faced in the show trials. Many believed that the violence of the conflict with the PKK was a result, in part, of the AKP’s earlier negotiations with the group. At some military funerals, officers often specifically blamed Erdoğan for the soldiers’ deaths. They reasonably viewed the rise of jihadi violence in Turkey as the cost of the AKP’s tolerance of jihadi groups in the Syrian civil war. Like many secularists, they feared a creeping dismantling of Turkey’s secularism. The press has largely been cowed; judicial independence mostly broken. Perhaps some in the military believed that this was their last chance to halt Erdoğan’s consolidation of power. A successful coup would likely be a disaster. The result could be a civil war. The Obama administration was slow off the mark in condemning the coup attempt, but it is a positive sign that it finally did so. The coup apparently isn’t entirely over yet. But it seems already broken. Major generals have condemned it and many soldiers have returned to their barracks. If a successful coup would have led to chaos, a failed coup would likely result in even greater repression and centralization of power. Friday night’s events will likely solidify Erdoğan’s worst tendencies. Moreover, by apparently facing down the coup, Erdoğan has effectively burnished his own brand as a man of the people. On social media, conspiracy theories suggest that the “coup” was staged theater, orchestrated so that Erdoğan could gain more support and take greater control. This seems nonsense. But the essential point is correct: If Erdoğan has prevailed he has been made far stronger.

Israel Balks at Obama’s New 10-Year Aid Offer

Barbara Opall-Rome, Defense News 10:32 a.m. EDT July 15, 2016

Industry Braces for Losses, Layoffs as Result of 'Buy America' Spending Provisions

TEL AVIV — Israeli industry is bracing for lost funding and layoffs as a result of a proposed $38 billion, 10-year US military aid package that rescinds Israel’s ability to convert a significant portion of US grant dollars into shekels for local research, development and procurement. While Israel still hopes to prevail upon the White House to bump its top line closer to $40 billion over 10 years, government and industry sources hold little hope of US President Barack Obama's administration wavering on Buy America demands. The proposed deal aims to follow the current $30 billion memorandum of understanding inked by both countries in 2007, which expires October 2017. In interviews, those sources say Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pretty much resigned himself to a new paradigm whereby all of Israel’s grant aid — with the exception of funds appropriated for missile defense and pre-agreed upon programs — will eventually be spent in the United States. As it now stands, an Israel-unique mechanism called "offshore procurement" (OSP) allows Israel to spend some 26.3 percent of its Foreign Military Financing (FMF) on local programs. Additionally, the Obama administration has allowed Israel in recent years to earmark some $400 million annually for fuel purchases. According to a US source, those dispensations in recent years have amounted to some $1.2 billion out of the $3.1 billion Israel receives annually being spent in Israel rather than in America. “While Israel values the predictability of this arrangement, it is not the best use of finite US assistance dollars. Between OSP and fuel purchases, Israel is using approximately $1.2 billion annually — or 38.7 percent of its total FMF account — to directly support its domestic budget rather than to build on its arsenal of advanced US equipment,” the source said. Under the proposed follow-on agreement, OSP will be phased out incrementally over some years, and not in one fell swoop, to allow Israel to adjust to the new reality, US and Israeli sources said. They noted that the OSP mechanism was conceived more than 30 years ago as a means of supporting the Lavi, an indigenous, heavily US-funded Israeli fighter program terminated in 1987. “The whole point of OSP was to help subsidize the Lavi project. It was subject specific. … It was never intended to become the open-ended entitlement program it is today,” said Doug Bloomfield, a former legislative director of AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobby group that helped craft the language that institutionalized the local spending allowance. “At the time, Israel’s industry and its economy was a basket case. ... But now the rationale for OSP is anachronistic. Israel is among the world’s top defense exporters. It’s now a formidable competitor with the American industry,” Bloomfield said. “At a time of economic austerity at home and when Republicans in Congress are cutting funding for food stamps, it doesn’t make sense to continue this specific benefit. Both countries will be much better off focusing on how to make security assistance to Israel much more effective in meeting mutual needs,” he said. Yossi Weiss, president and CEO of Israel Aerospace Industries, Israel’s largest state-owned defense firm, characterized removal of OSP provisions as “dramatic.” “I don’t want to say catastrophic or fatalistic, but the only reason I’m not saying that is because there is continuous dialogue between the two governments,” Weiss said. “Bottom line is a cut in this 26 percent, which is turned into Israeli shekels, is a big, big issue for the Israeli industry. It might lead to layoffs and all kinds of implications that I cannot even foresee right now.” Susan Rice, US national security adviser, who is managing bilateral negotiations on the follow-on memorandum of understanding, noted that Israel currently receives “more than half of the United States’ entire foreign military assistance budget.” In an address to the American Jewish Committee’s Global Forum in Washington last month, Rice said the two sides are continuing to discuss a new agreement that will guide US military assistance to Israel through the next decade. “Even in these days of belt-tightening, we are prepared to sign the single largest military assistance package with any country in American history. It would constitute a significant increase in support, and provide Israel the funding to update much of its fighter aircraft fleet, substantially enhance the mobility of its ground forces and continue to strengthen its missile defense capabilities,” Rice said. While far short of initial Israeli expectations of up to $50 billion over the next 10 years, Israel’s finance minister and officers on the Israel Defense Forces' General Staff have urged Netanyahu to accept Obama’s proposed package. At a party faction meeting last month, Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon characterized Obama’s offer as “positive and fair.” He told party cohorts that he "told the prime minister and defense minister" to "adopt the offer and put an end to this saga,” adding: “Our security services can get by with the current offer.” When asked last week if Netanyahu is moving closer to accepting the package, a senior security source replied: “As you know, the prime minister is listening only to himself.” Netanyahu has repeatedly stated his willingness to sign the deal, but “not at any price.” According to sources here and in Washington, the offer now stands at $3.8 billion annually, which includes some $400 million to be spent in Israel on cooperative missile defense and other pre-agreed upon joint programs, such as a new anti-tunnel initiative that could cost hundreds of millions of dollars in the coming decade.

VIDEO | Satanic prayer disrupted at council meeting

by Jasmine Anderson / Allie Norton Thursday, July 14th 2016

A satanic prayer held at Pensacola city council meeting was disrupted by a crowd Thursday night. Police escorted people out of the meeting. "I saw community of people come together and take a stand for what was right," explained Bruce Gullie. The invocation was delivered by a member of the Satanic Temple. Parishioners with the United Methodist Church of Pace staged outside city hall ready to pray, while hundreds filled the seats inside. David Suhor, co-founder of the local chapter of the Satanic Temple approached the podium, causing the crowd to stand and begin the Lord's Prayer. Council President Charles Bare called order and told the crowd they had to be quiet or they would have to leave. Pensacola Police escorted numerous people out. "If you deviate away from what I feel is proper invocation speech, I will have you removed from the chamber," Bare ordered. "I would rather be in a room than let darkness sit here by itself," one man in the audience said. Once order was regained, Suhor began his invocation. Many continued to pray. Council member Gerald Wingate walked out. Afterwards, several people in the crowd took to the podium to express their disapproval with the council's decision to allow the Suhor's invocation in the first place. "When you invoke a name any other name under heaven that is not the Lord Jesus Christ your almost invite cursing or disaster to fall on you," said Vickie Truett. Suhor returned to the podium, starting a conversation about invocation rights that the council president agreed with. "Quit pushing Christian privilege as we see with the Bayview cross and so many other issues and go to a moment of silence and let everyone pray or not, according to their own conscience," David Suhor said. Channel 3's Allie Norton attended the meeting. Take a look at her video of the disruption.

Religious Freedom in the Military Under Increased Assault, Advocates Say

By Brandon Showalter , CP Contributor July 15, 2016|10:46 am

WASHINGTON – Christians must remain vigilant in light of increased assaults on religious liberty in the military, Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty Director Ron Crews argued Tuesday. "We have had a chaplain court-marshaled because of counsel he gave concerning what the Bible says about homosexuality. Through the help of several members of Congress and attorneys those charges were eventually dropped," Crews told The Christian Post. Another chaplain "was reprimanded by his commander because he used the Psalms as a resource to fight depression," he continued, adding that the reprimand was ultimately removed from his record, thanks again to those congressmen. Crews was at a reception held at the Reserve Officers Association of the United States in Washington, D.C, where Representative Randy Forbes of Virginia, who lost his primary in June, was awarded the Torchbearer Award, an award given to those who have fervently advocated for the religious freedoms of soldiers and the military chaplains who serve them. In his acceptance speech, Forbes urged everyone in attendance to heed the counsel in the book of Jude, his favorite book of the Bible, to fight the good fight of faith particularly as opposition to faith is rising in America. The most ugly example of this emerged in 2013 when a U.S. Reserve Equal Opportunity training brief designated "Evangelical Christianity" and "Roman Catholicism" as extremism alongside groups like al-Qaeda and Hamas. As CP reported at the time, the official training documents read, "'Extremism is a complex phenomenon' that is present in every religion due to 'some followers that believe that their beliefs, customs and traditions are the only 'right way' and that all others are practicing their faith the 'wrong way,' seeing and believing that their faith/religion superior to all others." Evangelical Christianity was placed at the top of a bullet-point list of extremist groups in a government training slide-show. Representative John Fleming of Louisiana, a previous Torchbearer Award recipient, spoke briefly Tuesday about his amendment to the the 2014 National Defense Authorization Act and the "Right of Conscience clause" that has proven helpful in defending chaplains and their ministries to soldiers. Crews told CP that language has been used in several cases to guide commanders to ensure that no one is punished for living out their faith. Also in attendance who took to the podium were stalwart advocates Lt. General Jerry Boykin, Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma, and Rep. Doug Collins of Georgia, who is the only military chaplain currently serving in Congress. In remarks in a recorded video during the reception, Crews further noted that many forget that the military played a vital role in forming America's policies of religious tolerance. General George Washington appointed chaplains from a variety of religions and faith traditions to serve soldiers in the Continental army, not just Anglican ones.

EU UNESCO draft also disregards Jewish connection to Temple Mount

In response to the Palestinian-Jordanian draft decision this week that ignores the Jewish connection to its adherents' holiest site, the EU has circulated a different version that removes the scare quotes from 'Western Wall' but still only mentions the Muslim connection to the site.

The Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem is fuming over a draft decision distributed on Thursday by representatives of the European Union at meetings of UNESCO's World Heritage Committee in Istanbul on the subject of the Israeli capital's Old City that completely ignores the Jewish connection to the site. The proposal is an alternative to the Jordanian-Palestinian one announced earlier this week. The Europeans distributed a document that allegedly partially softens this draft but still completely accepts the Palestinian narrative that the site that includes the Al-Aqsa Mosque is a site holy to Muslims alone. While the European draft does mention the Western Wall outside of scare quotes, unlike the Palestinian version, sources in Jerusalem claim that the Europeans' proposal denies the Jewish connection to the Temple Mount, despite France's apology and admission of a mistake in supporting the UNESCO proposal in April that did the same. Foreign Ministry Spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon tweeted, "denying Jewish Jerusalem n Temple Mount amounts to denying the roots of Christian Europe. Will EU members agree to that? Crazy .." Amb. Carmel Shama Hacohen, Israel's representative to UNESCO who is in Istanbul and leading efforts against the European initiative, said, "A European consensus in favor of severing the Jewish connection with the Temple Mount is a new record for hypocrisy." During the committee's debate, Shama Hacohen asked the Palestinian representative, Amb. Mounir Anastas, why the Palestinians were not prepared to recognize the Jewish connection to the Temple Mount and add the Jewish term "Temple Mount" alongside the Palestinian "Al-Haram Al-Sharif." Anastas replied, that if the Palestinians recognized the Temple Mount as such, the Palestinian president and Jordanian king would become ISIS's top target. The Israeli ambassador answered, "The historical connection of the Jewish people to the Temple Mount is not dependent on the desires and threats of ISIS just like it's not dependent on the will or decision of foreign countries and international organizations. The Palestinians the Jordanians should thank God for the Israeli sovereignty on the Temple Mount that grants them and the place full freedom of religion and complete protection from ISIS and the destruction that it's sowing on cultural and religious heritage sites throughout the East." The Foreign Ministry was also angry with the European Union for its decision to open offices in Tehran. It released a statement saying, "The opening of an EU office in Iran is a grave mistake. Iran's behavior has not changed. It is the world's worst state sponsor of terrorism. It funds murder throughout the Middle East. It hangs gays and brutally represses its own people. "Iran brazenly violates its international obligations while literally emblazoning its missiles with 'Israel will be wiped out.' Iran recently appointed a cleric head of the Assembly of Experts who calls for the destruction of both Israel and America. Iran should not be rewarded as it spreads murder and mayhem across the world."

French government 'suppressed gruesome torture' of Bataclan victims as official inquiry is told some were castrated and had their eyes gouged out by the ISIS killers

Victims of terrorist attacks were tortured by ISIS, inquiry hears

Policemen on the scene of nightclub vomited when they saw victims

But prosecutors cast doubt on claims saying no knives were found

89 people died at the Bataclan in total during attack last November

By Victoria Finan For Mailonline Published: 12:02 EST, 15 July 2016 | Updated: 16:05 EST, 15 July 2016

The French government suppressed the media from reporting the gruesome torture of several of the Bataclan terrorist attack victims, it has been claimed. A government committee has heard from a leading investigator that policemen on the scene of the attacks last November vomited after witnessing victims with their eyes gouged out. They claimed that some had been castrated with their genitals put in their mouths and that women were stabbed in the genitals. But prosecutors at the parliamentary inquiry into the Bataclan deaths in France have cast doubt over the claims after revealing that no sharp knives were found at the scene. The inquiry heard that the alleged torture was the reason that some bodies of those who died were not released to their family, reported HeatStreet. The investigator told the inquiry: 'After the assault, we were with colleagues at the passage Saint-Pierre Amelot when I saw weeping from one of our colleagues who came outside to vomit. He told us what he had seen.' He then confirmed that his colleague had seen 'acts of torture' on the second floor of the Bataclan. Terrorist attackers were planning on using filmed footage of the torture victims for ISIS propoganda, it was claimed. Some of the victims were beheaded by the terrorist attackers, according to the claims. The inquiry heard from the president of the committee, Georges Fenech, that one father had been told while visiting his son's body at the morgue that the right side of his face was unrecognisable because terrorists had 'punctured his eye and sliced down the right side of his face.' The attacks happened after three terrorists took hostage concert-goers who were watching the band Eagles of Death Metal perform in the venue. Initially after the terrorists opened fire, many members of the crowd mistook gunshots for pyrotechnics. France needs to set up a national counterterrorism agency to oversee the fight against dangerous militants, according to the parliamentary inquiry into security failings that allowed the attacks. The recommendation for a body modelled on the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center reporting to the prime minister was one of 40 proposals made by a parliamentary committee after the five-month inquiry. Poor coordination between security services in France and at the European level let crucial information slip through about militants who killed 130 people in coordinated attacks in and near Paris on a stadium, cafes and the Bataclan, the inquiry found. 'We are not up to the task (in the fight) against those who threaten us today,' conservative lawmaker Georges Fenech, who headed the committee, told a news conference earlier this month. The inquiry concluded that though some of the gunmen who killed 90 people in the Bataclan attack could have been arrested, there was little possibility of identifying the concert hall in advance as a target.

New Ties Emerge Between Clinton And Mysterious Islamic Cleric

Chuck Ross Reporter 9:29 PM 07/13/2016

A newly-released email and lobbying documents filed with Congress reveals new ties between Clintonworld and members of a network operated by a mysterious Islamic cleric from Turkey. Connections between Clinton and acolytes of the imam, Fethullah Gulen, could muddle the complex relationship between the U.S. and Turkey, a key NATO ally, if the former secretary of state wins the White House. Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has mounted an aggressive crackdown against Gulen and his followers, known as Gulenists. Erdoğan, who was once allied with Gulen, has even personally asked President Obama to extradite the 74-year-old guru, who has lived in self-exile in Pennsylvania’s Pocono mountains since 1999. (RELATED: Followers Of A Mysterious Islamic Cleric Have Donated Heavily To Hillary’s Campaign And Charity) Erdoğan has accused Gulen of attempting to undermine the Turkish government. Gulen’s followers control many Turkish institutions, including the media, courts, and police force. In addition to muddying that complex geopolitical dynamic, a 2009 email recently released by Judicial Watch provides yet another example of access being provided to a Clinton campaign and Clinton Foundation donor. In the April 1, 2009 message, a Gulen follower named Gokhan Ozkok asked Clinton deputy chief of staff Huma Abedin for help in connecting one of his allies to President Obama. Ozkok is founding board member of the Turkish Cultural Center and part of a network of businesses and non-profits affiliated with the Gulen movement, also known as Hizmet. Ozkok served as national finance co-chair of the pro-Clinton Ready PAC. He gave $10,000 to the committee in 2014 and $2,700 to Clinton’s campaign last year. He is also listed on the Turkish Cultural Center’s website as a member of the Clinton Global Initiative, one of the non-profit arms of the Clinton Foundation. He’s given between $25,000 and $50,000 to the Clinton charity. Another link between Gulenists and the Clinton orbit was revealed in a lobbying registration disclosure filed last month with the Senate. It shows that a Gulen-aligned group called the Alliance for Shared Values hired the Clinton-connected Podesta Group to lobby Congress on its behalf. The group seeks to lobby for the “promotion of peace, tolerance and interfaith dialogue.” The group’s executive director is Alp Aslandogan, a former professor at universities in Texas. He has also donated to Clinton’s political endeavors, campaign finance records show. The Podesta Group is a natural choice for those seeking influence with Clinton. The firm was co-founded by John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign chairman, and his brother Tony, a major Clinton campaign bundler. Through various non-profit groups, both Gulenists promote the cleric’s teachings, which are relatively moderate and pro-Western. They are also involved in the Gulen movement’s money-making endeavor: a vast network of taxpayer-funded charter schools. Those schools, which number more than 150, have been a source of controversy for the Gulen movement. Federal investigators have reportedly investigated some of the schools for using work visas to bring Turkish citizens to the U.S. to teach. In some cases, taxpayer funds were used to pay immigration and legal fees for family members of teachers who worked at the facilities. Funds allocated to the schools have also been funneled to contractors controlled by Turkish nationals with connections to the Gulen movement. A 2011 New York Times article focused on suspicious ties between Gulenist schools operating in Texas under the name Harmony Public Schools. Harmony contracted with a company controlled by a pro-Gulen non-profit called the Cosmos Foundation. In 2002, Aslandogan purchased property that was later sold to Harmony. He also founded the Texas Gulf Foundation, which has also been awarded taxpayer-funded contracts to provide services to Gulen schools. Aslandogan did not return a request for comment. Nor did Ozkok, who has affiliations with Gulen-connected education firms Sema Education and Apple Education Services. The partnerships between the schools and contractors allow taxpayer funds to remain within the Gulen network. Teachers at the schools, many of whom are not fluent in English, are also used to help finance Hizmet, according to one former teacher at a Gulen institute. The teacher, who is now a government whistleblower, told “60 Minutes” in 2012 that Turkish teachers are required to return a large portion of their salary to the Gulen network. She said that her Turkish husband, who taught at one of the schools, was required to return 40 percent of his salary. Accusations of visa fraud and other impropriety, which Gulenists largely deny, have contributed to an increased profile for Gulen, who ended up staying in the U.S. permanently after coming here for medical treatment. Erdoğan’s campaign to rid Turkey of Gulen’s influence has also thrust the recluse onto the public spotlight. On top of his efforts to crackdown on Gulenists within the Turkish media, judiciary and police, Erdoğan has sought to exert influence over Gulen in the U.S. During a 2014 visit with President Obama, Erdoğan, who served as prime minister prior to his presidential term, reportedly asked Obama for Gulen’s extradition. The Turkish government has also retained the law firm Amsterdam & Partners in an effort to retained the law firm Amsterdam & Partners in an effort to undermine Gulen and Gulenists in the courts as well as the media. The connections between the Gulen movement and Clinton are not the first to be revealed. They also add to questions about what it is the Gulenists want from Clinton and whether the Democrat has rewarded their financial support with favors. Last year The Daily Caller reported that numerous Gulen followers have donated to Clinton’s various political campaigns and to her family charity. One Gulen movement leader, Recep Ozkan, donated between $500,000 and $1 million to the Clinton Foundation. As senator from New York, Clinton gave a keynote address at the Turkish Cultural Center’s annual banquet. The email to Abedin, which is the first piece of communication showing that a Gulen follower had direct access to Clinton’s staff, sought a favor. “Please tell Madam Secretary that it would be great if President Obama can include a 15 minutes [sic] meeting with Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, Secretary-General of the Organization of of [sic] the Islamic Conference (OIC), in his trip to Turkey,” wrote Ozkok. Screen Shot 2016-06-30 at 8.10.27 PM April 1, 2009 email from Gokhan Ozkok to Huma Abedin. Obtained by Judicial Watch It is unclear if Abedin forwarded Ozkok’s request to Clinton or anyone else in the Obama administration. But Ihsanoglu, who is an ally of Gulen’s and lost to Erdogan in the 2014 presidential election, did meet with Obama in Istanbul several days after the email. There, Obama reportedly extended an invitation to Ihsanoglu to visit the White House. The academic visited in June 2009 and reportedly asked Obama to create a U.S. ambassador to the Muslim world. Some terror watchdog groups flagged the meetings, pointing to Ihsanoglu’s past praise of the terrorist group Hamas and for Sudanese president and U.S. foe Omar al-Bashir. But Ihsanoglu does not appear to be a radical firebrand like so many Islamists in the Middle East. As for the Podesta Group, the lobbying firm has connections to several controversial companies seeking to peddle influence at Clinton’s State Department. Daily Caller investigations have revealed that the Podesta Group has represented Uranium One, a Russia-controlled uranium company that had ties to Canadian mining magnate and Clinton Foundation philanthropist Frank Giustra. The Podesta Group also lobbied Clinton’s State Department on behalf of BAE Systems just as the U.K. defense contractor was facing stiff government sanctions for illegal arms trading. The Associated Press has sued the State Department for records pertaining to discussions to let BAE Systems off with a slap on the wrist for its infractions. Clinton’s favorite lobbying firm also started working last year for Islami Bank Bangladesh, a Bengali bank that has been linked to terrorist groups. And earlier this year, Tony Podesta, the Clinton bundler and Podesta Group principal, was hired by the Saudi government.

New Hampshire Gov. Covering Up Child Molestation at Husband’s School Which Has Visits From the Muslim Brotherhood

New Hampshire governor, Hassan. She is accused by political opponents of covering up child molestations which were carried out in an academy run by her husband who served as the Principal at the time of the allegations. His name is Andy Martin and he is a Republican candidate for Congress in this upcoming election and has made very serious allegations of impropriety against New Hampshire’s Governor. ANDY MARTIN /2016 Republican candidate for Congress Second Congressional District-NH Mr. Martin is accusing Governor Hassan of covering up the sexual molestations which took place at Phillips Exeter Academy. And Martin is quick to point out that the academy is run by Principal Hassan, the husband of Governor Hassan and the Governor is engaged in a major cover-up and of course is involved in a major conflict of interest. As I reviewed Mart’s allegations, I originally surmised that Martin must be off of his rocker. I reasoned, incorrectly, that a small state such as New Hampshire, would not tolerate such a scandal from its Governor. Even though New Hampshire is very liberal, surely even liberal voters would not tolerate such behavior. In reality, Martin’s allegations are only the tip of a very dangerous iceberg as my investigation would prove. The School Invites Muslim Brotherhood to Speak to Its Students Gov. Hassan’s husband, Thomas Hassan, is the Principal of the prestigious Phillips Exeter Academy. Phillips Exeter Academy is no stranger to controversy as the institution has previously invited Muslims, not just Muslims, but dangerous Muslims, to speak at the school in the past about Islam and American. Some of these speakers are associated with CAIR, MSA, and the Muslim Brotherhood, to propagandize the impressionable student body at the student assemblies. Why would an American high school think it is permissible to invite members of a federally declared terrorist organization to speak at its school? Is the high school trying to turn its student body into radicalized Muslims? Why not invite the Third Reich and Adolph Hitler? Remember, it was Hitler that created the Muslim Brotherhood. The message and the effect would be the same. The federal government says that the terrorist organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, runs guns, child sex rings and drugs as a means of supporting its terrorist organization. They are integrated with ISIS, money laundering at HSBC bank and are in business with the Mexican drug cartels. Why Isn’t the FBI Investigating? My very first thought is that the FBI should be investigating the school for providing material support to terrorists by propagandizing its students and not giving the students any choice in the matter. Then I remembered that FBI Director Comey, Hillary Clinton’s legal guardian, was on the Board of Directors at HSBC Bank when they were busted for money laundering drug money from the cartels, ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood. No justice here. No protection for the children of Phillips Exeter Academy. Not Just Another School… The school has played host to such notables as the Kennedy’s, the Rockefeller’s and the Eisenhower’s. The school is a literal who’s who. For a complete list of their very prestigious alumni, please click here. As I write these words, it is difficult to not see a deliberate conspiracy that has manifested in this school. Having students be an unwilling audience to Islamic beliefs is one thing, being propagandized by terrorists at such a vulnerable age is quite another. This isn’t just any school. These acts become progressively disturbing when one considers that this school for the elite has produced two Presidents and several members of Congress as well as a number of prominent CEO’s. This would be controversial enough, but the allegations go much deeper. Chris Anu of the New Hampshire Herald in 2012 stated: “…On Thomas Hassan’s watch, numerous Islamic scholars and activists with ties to radical Islamic groups have been invited to address student assemblies and other student forums. Among them, Hadia Mubarak, former president of the Muslim Student Association, spoke at a PEA assembly on Oct, 1, 2007. Founded by the Muslim Brotherhood, the MSA was labeled “a virtual terror factory” by terrorism expert Patrick Poole. Its former members include such notable jihadists as Anwar al-Awlaki, Ramy Zamzam, Omar Hammami, Abdurahman Alamoudi, Aafia Siddiqui and Ramzi Yousef. Justice From the Grassroots? From Lily Herman writing an op-ed for Teen Vogue magazine: Prestigious boarding school Phillips Exeter Academy is facing steep criticism after another terrifying sexual assault case on the campus grounds has come to light. Michaella Henry, a student at the New Hampshire-based boarding school, was forcibly groped by fellow student Chukwudi “Chudi” Ikpeazu in the basement of the campus church in October 2015. When she went to the campus minister, Reverend Robert Thompson, about the attack, instead of telling her about her reporting options and offering to find her help, he suggested that she meet with the perpetrator instead. After Chudi confessed to his actions during the meeting, the reverend suggested that he bake Michaella bread every week for the rest of the year as an “act of penance.” Unsurprisingly, the weekly encounters with her attacker started causing Michaella to have panic attacks and other mental health issues, and despite pressure from school officials not to go to law enforcement, she decided to go to police in May. Chudi was arrested and charged with misdemeanor sexual assault. However, this isn’t Phillips Exeter’s first time with sexual assault allegations, even in recent years. The school currently has 28 open police investigations into sexual assault on campus, and a teacher was fired and barred from the school in April after sexual misconduct allegations came to light, including his sexual relationships with two students.” Doesn’t this case in some ways, remind you of the rapes taking place in Europe following the great waves of the Refugee/Resettlement program? This case points out to me that our women are going to be at risk in the same manner as women in Sweden. I am disgusted beyond words. Conclusion These facts speak to the fact that the Principal, the Governor’s husband, was guilty of obstruction of justice and facilitating sexual abuse of a minor after the fact. And if Principal Hassan’s wife, Governor Hassan is involved, she is guilty of depraved indifference and obstruction of justice. I would like to express outrage and ask the question of how this could happen in America. America has become such a criminal enterprise, from a government perspective, I consider this to be business as usual. No, I do not accept this conduct from school officials and a Governor of a state. However, far too many American are not willing to take a stand. If we stand up to the propagandizing of our youth by federally declared terrorist organizations, we are labeled as Islamophobic. If we speak about the sexual assault cover–up and subsequent obstruction of justice by Governor Hassan, we are labeled as conspiracy theorists. Where was the outrage when Clinton got away with treason? Where is the outrage here? Freedom only belongs to those who will fight for it. And if we are not willing to fight for our children, then America deserves the fate that is coming. Call it God’s judgment, but we are done as a nation. In one small glimmer of hope, hundreds of the school’s alumni are withholding donations to Phillips Exeter in light of the latest news. It would seem that the only justice in New Hampshire is grass roots justice. Certainly, justice is not coming IT IS NOT ENOUGH! THE HASSANS’ BELONG IN JAIL NEXT TO THE CELL THAT SHOULD BE OCCUPIED BY HILLARY CLINTON!

Obama Admin Has Released ‘Tens Of Thousands’ Of Criminal Illegal Aliens Because Their Home Countries Won’t Take Them Back

Chuck Ross Reporter 2:27 PM 07/14/2016

The Obama administration has released “tens of thousands” of illegal aliens convicted of crimes in the U.S. because their home countries refused to take them back. And a “substantial number” of those involve serious crimes, a government official said Thursday during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on so-called recalcitrant countries. Nations like China, Liberia and Guinea often refuse to take back their own citizens after being convicted of crimes in the U.S. The issue entered the national spotlight here after a Haitian national named Jean Jacques killed 25-year-old Casey Chadwick last year in her Connecticut apartment after being released from prison after serving 17 years in prison for attempted murder. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was unable to deport Jacques back to Haiti because the Caribbean nation refused to take him back. Lawmakers from both parties have put increased pressure on the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security to use diplomatic means to force recalcitrant nations to comply. That includes the withholding of international aid and the denial of visas to those countries. During Thursday’s hearing Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan asked ICE’s deputy director Daniel Ragsdale how many criminal aliens have been released back onto the streets in the U.S. because their home countries refused to take them back. “It’s tens of thousands,” Ragsdale said. Asked how many of those criminal aliens had committed serious crimes, Ragsdale said: “It is a substantial number.” Later in the hearing, Iowa Rep. Rod Blum put a more precise number on the problem. Since 2011, “13,511 criminal aliens have been released back into American communities,” he said. “This isn’t rocket science,” the Republican continued. “I know we’re dealing with other countries. Americans want action. They’re behind you. They want you to do this.” “I don’t know if the administration is…but the American people are behind you.” The U.S. has only imposed sanctions on one recalcitrant nation. In 2001, the George W. Bush administration refused to issue visas to government officials in Guyana because the South American nation refused to accept 113 of its citizens who had been ordered removed from the U.S. The sanctions proved effective. Guyana began repatriating deported aliens soon after the sanctions were imposed. The next year, the State Department issued a memorandum of understanding which okayed sanctions against recalcitrant nations. When nations are refusing to accept its citizens back after being ordered removed from the U.S., “the Secretary of State shall order consular officers to discontinue granting nonimmigrant and/or immigrant visas, as the Secretary of State deems appropriate,” the memo states. During Thursday’s hearing, Pennsylvania Rep. Matt Cartwright, a Democrat, asked another witness, Michele Bond, the State Department’s assistant secretary for consular affairs, if it makes sense to “actually impose [sanctions] once in a great while” rather than issue empty threats. He asked Bond if the State Department has ever threatened or even hinted at imposing sanctions on recalcitrant countries. “Yes, we absolutely have,” she said. “We have informed specific countries that are on the recalcitrant list that we have to see results within a time-bound period of time or there’s going to be a real likelihood that the next step would be visa sanctions.” But in explaining why those threats have not materialized into real action, Bond said that it can often be “a distraction and unhelpful” to impose sanctions. “In cases where we are able to say to a country ‘you simply are not responding, you have left us no choice.’ in cases where people are responding and you are moving forward it can be a distraction and unhelpful to say ‘OK, we see you doing this, and now we’re going to bring the hammer down,'” said Bond, an Obama appointee. She offered a tepid defense of the State Department’s aversion to issuing sanctions, saying that the 2002 memorandum of understanding requires notification by the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. She said that Sec. Jeh Johnson has not issued that formal notification to impose sanctions. Asked by Jordan why DHS has not notified the State Department about the problem, Ragsdale said that Johnson has been in contact with State to discuss the issue. “We will work on that,” Ragsdale said regarding taking a more direct approach.

Worldwide Chaos About To Peak? Russian Armageddon Convoy Practices For World War III As Warnings Ring Out Loudly: 'Something Strange Is Going On!'

July 16, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

The attempted overthrow last night of the Turkish government in a coup that has failed is just the latest chaotic event that we've been witnessing around the world in a buildup to what some have warned could result in a new world war while others are warning of the end of the world according to these stories. If we needed any more evidence beyond Barack Obama's latest executive order that they're getting ready for something bad to happen, we get it in spades via many recent stories including this one from Michael Snyder over at the Economic Collapse blog called "War Is Coming And The Global Financial Situation Is A Lot Worse Than You May Think". The stories all across the mainstream and alternative media's recently show a world gone mad with the US's buildup of warships around the disputed South China Sea islands another recent event that showing a world barreling towards total destruction. As we're told in this story from Mac Slavo over at SHTFPlan, WWIII is now at stake. We're not surprised that all of this is happening now considering the warnings long given by Trends Forecaster Gerald Celente that 'when all else fails, they take us to war'. 'All else' is clearly failing. War appears to be devolving on many fronts while on others, we're happy to report, it may finally be starting to wain. A story from Gawker yesterday was called "Who Will Win The Upcoming Civil War" and in the story, the author gives Americans every reason to make sure we hold on to the 2nd Amendment. Warning that a violent confrontation may break out between 'angry Trumpies' and 'equally angry lefties', the author compares 2016 to 1968 and in so doing, gives us a breakdown of what the strengths and weaknesses are between the 'left' and the 'right' in his opinion. Meanwhile, by not pointing out that the false left-right paradigm was created by the elite to divide us all, he leaves out that possibly the only way that all of humanity wins and civil war is avoided is if we all come together AS Americans and realize that the globalists are the enemies of all of us and don't have our best interests in mind. However, not surprisingly, the author concludes his story with this statement about 'the right'.: Several very interesting new stories get us up-to-date on what may be some very good news as well as some more bad news. A brand new story this morning from the Wall Street Journal tells us that Russia and the US have come to an agreement to end the war in Syria. While details on this agreement were 'very sketchy', we hear in the 2nd video below from YouTube videographer Scott Anthony that something very strange was going on with the recent secretive, high level meetings between John Kerry and Vladimir Putin. The responses given by both officials within the US government as heard in this video certainly cause some very good questions to be asked by Scott. While we'd love to see war come to an end in Syria and elsewhere around the world, the new story from Stars and Stripes tells us that both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton would bring a 'war-time posture to the White House'. As this NY Times story tells us, Trump wants war declared on ISIS and 'extreme vetting' of immigrants in America. According to this USA Today story, Clinton declares that the US is at war with radical jihadist groups. After prior statements made by her, has Clinton learned from Obama's mistakes or Donald Trump's recent popularity or maybe both? While we're unhappy to report that both Trump and Clinton agree that the world is at war since humanity should be able to do much better, at least the 'enemy' that free humanity faces may have finally been clearly defined as the 'global plague of terrorism'. We pray that government realizes that the American people are not 'the enemy'. We normally don't use Popular Mechanics as a source but they've got a new story out called "Russian Armageddon Convoy Practices For World War III". While telling us that this 'Armageddon Convoy' is just 'an exercise', they also tell us that "if this were to happen for real, well, we hope you have a fall-out shelter nearby". How many people reading this do? What does Popular Mechanics know that we don't know? Several more recent stories give us a hint. The Daily Star tells us that Putin is carrying out missile launch drills on the Russian border as mobile nuclear missile launchers are rumbling through the Russian forests. According to former USSR leader Mihkail Gorbachev, the world is flirting with disaster as "NATO has practically declared war on Russia". With China announcing they'll continue military drills in the South China Seas despite the recent UN decision and US ships now building up there, we can only pray for cooler heads to prevail while preparing ourselves for the very worst. What might the very worst be for Americans? As we've previously reported on ANP, a full-scale, global level nuclear war could easily lead to the deaths of a huge population of our planet. A Russian attack upon the US would, at the very least, include the unleashing of an attack that sent us back to the dark ages and could leave the entire country covered in a coating of radioactive ash. We pray that our leaders have enough sense not to go there. A recent story from Sputnik News is called "World War III Based On 'Game Of Thrones'" and in it we are told that one possible Hillary Clinton running mate mixes a dangerous obsession with fantasy TV and NATO militarism. Warning us that Washington's aggression towards Russia is already 'dangerously detached from reality' we have to wonder if the recent emergency meetings talked about in the 2nd video below may have resolved this danger. We're also told that possible Clinton VP choice Admiral James Stavridis would be consistent with a more hawkish White House towards Russia with possible end results that could be devastating to the entire world. We pray that govt has also realized Russia is not our enemy and we come together to fight against the enemy who has promised to destroy us all. As we're told in the 1st video below from Infowars, we are at war. It's absolutely pertinent to clearly define the enemy. Why has NATO chosen Russia as the enemy rather than ISIS? From the Sputnik News story.: The danger of this real-life political intrigue is that the confrontation could careen into an all-out world war involving nuclear weapons. Clinton, Flournoy and Stavridis live in the same delusional echo chamber that repetitively clangs the hollow ring of "Russian aggression". Each will reinforce one another in their collective delusional view of the world and Russia in particular. This belligerent White House mentality will, in turn, reinforce an equally belligerent and delusional NATO command, resulting in a vicious cycle of increasing hostility towards Russia. And if that fiendish feedback loop is not bad enough, we can throw into the mix that Clinton's top aide in the White House will be a former NATO war-hawk who forms his view of the world from a fantasy TV drama featuring wicked villains. American politics and its impact on the world is a veritable horror show. And has been for decades. Wars, coups, regime changes, assassinations and enforced poverty of billions of people to gratify a global capitalist elite. But the ultimate horror episode could be World War III based on the delusional rantings of US political "leaders" who seem to get their understanding of the world from a Medieval soap opera.

Emergency Meeting in Russia: State Department / White House Acting Strange

TOPICS: John Kerry Russia White House July 15, 2016By Scott Anthony

Editor’s Note: In these video clips we see the U.S. State Department apparently having an unsanctioned visit with Putin where the U.S. now claims to align itself with the Russian position regarding whether or not Assad should be ousted. Interestingly, John Kerry has been at the heart of much of the double-talking about Syria that has led to these increasingly strange public relations performances that are beginning to look more like an SNL skit than legitimate discourse. What do you make of this potential rift between the Secretary of State and the White House? Someone not sticking to the script? What type of leverage does Russia have? Please leave your comments below.

Defiant Turkish civilians reclaimed the country from their own military after helping to end a coup by the army to overthrow President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who called on people to remain on the streets today over fears over a fresh uprising. Ordinary Turks confronted rifle-wielding soldiers, climbed atop tanks and laid in front of military vehicles in an effort to take back control of the country, ignoring a curfew issued by coup plotters designed to allow the army to bring down the government unopposed. President Erdogan called on people to take to the streets, leading to reports of groups of soldiers surrendering at several key locations in Ankara and Istanbul, including Bosphorus Bridge, where 100 rebels laid down their arms and submitted themselves to advancing civilians and police officers. There were unconfirmed reports of one soldier being beheaded by a mob of civilians on the bridge after a video surfaced online showing a crowd launching an attack on the downed man. However in the video the man is still alive and shows no beheading, though it is unknown if this happened after the footage ended. This morning the President used Twitter to call on supporters to prevent any additional military action, adding: 'We should keep on owning the streets no matter at what stage because a new flare-up could take place at any moment.' Some 104 plotters were killed after a coup attempt to bring down the Turkish government, while 160 people - at least 41 of them police and 47 civilians - fell as 'martyrs'. Throughout the night, supporters of Erdogan threw themselves in front of tanks at key landmarks to prevent the military from maintaining a stranglehold on the country, notably outside Ataturk airport in Istanbul, where some civilians lodged themselves under the wheels of tanks to stop them from advancing. More than 2,800 rebels have been detained after their failed military coup that killed at least 250 and wounded more than 1,500, with Erdogan vowing revenge for the bloody uprising. The President made his triumphant return back to Istanbul after his forces quelled the coup on Friday evening, as he warned that the members of the military behind the plot to oust him would pay a 'heavy price for their treason'. Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said that, while the death penalty was abolished in Turkey in 2004, the country may consider legal changes to deter any such coup happening again. The Greek police ministry said a Turkish military helicopter landed in Greece this morning and eight men on board, thought to be senior coup plotters, have requested political asylum. Turkey has asked for the men, made up of seven soldiers and one civilian, to be extradited back to the country. The rebel army faction - who call themselves the 'Peace Council' - said they were trying to overthrow the government to 'protect human rights' and restore democracy from Erdogan's Justice and Development Party, AKP, which has repeatedly faced criticism from human rights groups and Western allies over its brutal crackdowns on anti-government protesters. However, Erdogan has blamed his old scapegoat, Fethullah Gulen for orchestrating the uprising. Muslim cleric Gulen, the president's rival who lives in self-imposed exile in Pennsylvania, U.S. as the head of a billion dollar religious movement, has often been blamed for political unrest in Turkey. The five hours of chaos began when two busloads of soldiers burst into the headquarters of the state-run TRT news agency, taking news off the air and replacing it with a stream of weather forecasts. After launching the coup, the Turkish military imposed a curfew on civilians telling them to stay in their homes, but Erdogan called on supporters to ignore the order and take to the streets, which is thought to have caused the army to relinquish control. Turkey's top general Hulusi Akar was taken hostage at the military headquarters in the capital Ankara after an attempt to bring down the government, but was rescued during the night. One military official, Navy Fleet Commander Admiral Veysel Kosele, is currently unaccounted for and it is unknown whether or not he was part of the coup against President Erdogan. Turkey's state-run news agency said five warships which reportedly set sail during the attempted coup have returned to their military port in northwest Turkey, but it is unclear whether or not the Admiral was abroad one of the ships. After the uprising was crushed in the early hours of Saturday morning, Erdogan told the gathered masses at Ataturk Airport that those loyal to Gulen had 'penetrated the Armed Forces and the police, among other government agencies, over the past 40 years'. 'What is being perpetrated is a rebellion and a treason,' Erdogan said. 'They will pay a heavy price for their treason to Turkey.' Up to 100 rebel soldiers surrendered on Bosphorus Bridge after their failed uprising. At least 2,863 connected have been arrested in connection with the dramatic coup which lasted approximately five hours. New British foreign secretary Boris Johnson said on Twitter that he has spoken to Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu following the attempted military coup, adding: 'I underlined UK support for the democratic elected government and institutions.' Explosions and gunfire erupted in Istanbul and Ankara on Friday night during the coup which killed at least 250 people in the army's bid to overthrow the Islamic government. Elsewhere troops opened fire on civilians attempting to cross the river Bosporus in Istanbul in protest to the military coup, while a bomb exploded at the parliament building according to the state's press agency as the security situation in the country becomes more perilous. Colonel Muharrem Kose reportedly led the Turkish military forces in the uprising. Kose had recently been kicked out of the army, from his position as head of the military's legal advisory department, over his links to Gulen. He was killed during the clashes with Erdogan's supporters, sources report. As military took to the streets, Erdogan had urged his supporters to ignore a curfew and take back control of the country. Tanks and armoured personnel carriers tried to seize strategic points in Istanbul and Ankara but were faced down by unarmed civilians who lay down in front of the heavy armour. Police special forces headquarters was also hit and was razed to the ground. Other witnesses reported attack helicopters firing machine guns in the capital Ankara in a bid to depose the Islamic government. There were also reports that a Turkish Air Force F-16 had shot down a Sikorsky helicopter over Ankara. The government claimed the jet destroyed the helicopter which had been 'hijacked by coup plotters'. In Takism square, around 30 rebel soldiers surrendered following a gun battle with police loyal to Erdogan. A number of F-16 fighter jets had screamed across the square at low level blasting the area with a sonic boom. During the night, both the civilian government and the military claimed they were in control of the country, with reports of sporadic gunfire and explosions. In a statement, the army faction said that they took action 'to reinstall the constitutional order, democracy, human rights and freedoms, to ensure that the rule of law once again reigns in the country, for the law and order to be reinstated'. The Turkish military has also long seen its role as safeguarding Turkey's secularist agenda, and has staged numerous coup's over the last 60 years when it feels the government's stance is moving too far away from that. Meanwhile, Erdogan made it clear he believes rival Gulen is behind the attack. Gulen's nonprofit organization, the Alliance for Shared Values, denies any involvement and condemned the actions of the Turkish military. Gulen, 75, was initially a close ally of Erdogan, who rose from the mayor of Istanbul to prime minister before he became president in 2014. But the two fell out over a massive corruption scandal in 2013 that cost the country $100billion in a campaign thought to be initiated by Gulen's followers against Erdogan's closest allies. Trained as an imam, Fethullah Gulen gained notice in Turkey some 50 years ago, promoting a philosophy that blended a mystical form of Islam with staunch advocacy of democracy, education, science and interfaith dialogue. Erdogan has long accused Gulen of plotting to overthrow the officially secular government from a gated 26-acre compound in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, which has a population of about 1,100. The President, who was on vacation in the resort town of Marmaris when the coup began, issued a statement to CNN tonight referring to a 'parallel structure' behind the coup, a reference to Gulen's followers.

The Go Signal Has Been Given, France Attack Was An Open Declaration Of War On Western Society

Newt Gingrich Is Right, Every Muslim Who Believes in Sharia Must Be Deported

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine July 15, 2016

While covering the France terrorist attack last night, which killed over 80 people, we noted a couple SQ notes found on his front page, one stating that the attack in Nice was an "open declaration of war on secular western society" and another that said the "Go signal for worldwide terrorism has been given," and this morning at the Drudge Report we find the following Telegraph cover image that basically says it all. Newt Gingrich Is Right, Every Muslim Who Believes in Sharia Must Be Deported

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

That list does not even begin to cover the scope of Islamic terrorism across the globe, as the website "Religion of Peace," details 1,268 Islamic attacks in 50 countries, in which 11,664 people were killed and 14,087 injured, in just the year 2016. As the Islamic State aka ISIS celebrates the France terror attack, where men, women and children were literally crushed by an Islamic jihadist, with ISIS supporters claiming it was "revenge" for the death of Abu Omar Shishani, we note that once again Barack Obama never once mentioned "Islamic" terrorism in his official statement. ANP quoted French President, Francois Hollande last night with a statement that included, "France as a whole is under the threat of Islamic terrorism," yet it was Hollande that slammed those on the right and far-right for their concerns about Muslim migration into France in 2014. It was Hollande that agreed in November 2015 to take in an additional 30,000 Syrian, Muslim refugees, just days after the Paris Islamic terror attacks which killed 130 people. Hollande should be held accountable for his decisions, as should leaders of other countries in irresponsibly importing Islamic terrorists into their midst. Last night's Islamic terror attack in Nice, France occurred just weeks after reports were issued that Barack Obama had imported 5,186 Syrian refugees since Oct. 1, following President Obama’s directive to step up resettlement efforts—and "2,381 of them arrived in June," 2016, in an attempt to "make good on its pledge to resettle at least 10,000 by the end of the fiscal year." CNS News reports that only 0.3 percent of those refugees imported into the U.S. were Christian, the rest Muslims. Of them, eight (0.3 percent) are Christians and 2,364 (99.2 percent) are Sunni Muslims. The remainder comprise eight other Muslims, and one refugee giving no religious affiliation, according to State Department Refugee Processing Center data. In comparison, 1,069 Syrian refugees were admitted during May, of whom two were Christians and 1,060 were Sunnis. The other seven were other Muslims. Washington Times points out that this was done "despite terrorist screening worries." GINGRICH: DEPORT SHARIA BELIEVERS Former Speaker of the House and former presidential candidate Newt Gingrich is catching a lot of flack from the liberal media for saying that Muslims in America that believe in Sharia should be deported, with liberal outlets like The Atlantic claiming that Gingrich is calling for "all practicing U.S. Muslims" to be deported, when he clearly states "Western civilization is in a war. We should frankly test every person here who is of a Muslim background and if they believe in sharia they should be deported," he told Fox News’ Sean Hannity after the France attack. "Sharia is incompatible with western civilization. Modern Muslims who have given up sharia — glad to have them as citizens. Perfectly happy to have them next door," he added. Gingrich also said that the attack in Nice is the "fault of Western elites who lack the guts to do what is right, to do what is necessary," and suggested that mosques in America need to be monitored. Gingrich is right, Sharia law is absolutely incompatible with the U.S. Constitution, examples by the Center of Security Policy offers an excellent rundown of Sharia Law vs the Constitution, which shows Sharia is not compatible with the First Amendment right of freedom of speech and freedom of dissent, the Second Amendment right to self defense, the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Amendements, nor the Fourteenth Amendment. In 2015, the Center for Security Policy also found that 51 percent of of Muslims in America believed they should "have the choice of being governed according to shariah," and nearly 25 percent believe "It is legitimate to use violence to punish those who give offense to Islam by, for example, portraying the prophet Mohammed.." BOTTOM LINE Islamic terrorists have issued an open declaration of war on the West, and leaders like Barack Obama, Angela Merkel, Francois Hollande and others that have continued to import terrorists into their countries, are the "elite" that Gingrich asserts "lack the guts to do what is right, to do what is necessary," are all to blame for the terrorist attacks in France last night and in November 2015, the terror attacks in the U.S. including San Bernardino, California and Orlando, Florida, as well as the "rape epidemic" in Germany and all across Europe. It is time to declare war on ISIS, to insist that migrants coming to America assimilate into our society, follow our laws and if they believe in Sharia Law they are incompatible with our system of justice, and our constitution, and they should be settled into countries that are compatible with their preferred system of law. How many people have to die before we understand "we are at war," and the enemy's soldiers are in our states, cities and neighborhoods, planning their next attack? Our so-called "leaders" are going to continue to leads us down the path to outright slaughter, it is up to the people to understand the lateness of the hour and to start demanding something be done. Mosques should no longer be "off limits" to investigations, the resettlement program should be suspended until our federal agencies are capable of properly vetting migrants, and most importantly our system of justice, our laws, our free speech should NEVER take a back seat or be hindered in any way to "appease" Islamic migrants.... they either accept our Constitution, or they should not be allowed into our country.

'Mothers threw their children out the way as prams were crushed under the truck': Survivors relive Bastille Day bloodbath as celebrations turned to carnage in seconds

Survivors described the 'nightmare' of Bastille Day terror attack in Nice

Local woman wept as she told how four of her friends were slaughtered

Another witness saw prams being crushed and 'bodies flying everywhere'

One survived because she was behind bus shelter when the lorry sped by

By Jake Wallis Simons and Flora Drury In Nice, France, For Mailonline Published: 04:20 EST, 16 July 2016 Updated: 10:43 EST, 16 July 2016

Survivors of the Bastille Day massacre described horrific scenes as the French Riviera became a bloodbath, with one telling how desperate parents threw their children out of the path of the rampaging lorry. Some recalled the moment an ISIS terrorist drove over prams and mowed down a six-year-old boy on the famous Promenade Des Anglais in Nice, a holiday paradise. Others said how they narrowly escaped death themselves, with one woman narrowly avoiding certain death because she happened to be riding her bicycle behind a bus shelter while people were crushed all around. At least 84 people, including 10 children, were killed when Islamist fanatic Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel ploughed a 19-tonne lorry through a crowd following a Bastille Day fireworks display on Thursday night, after posing as an ice cream salesman. More than 200 people were injured, with 52 remaining in critical condition and 25 on life support. Local resident Aurelie Depnesle, 28, wept as she described the nightmarish scenes that came out of nowhere on Thursday night. 'Four of my friends are dead and about 20 are injured,' she said. 'They were in their 20s, but there was a two-year-old child as well.' The child, she added, was killed along with his mother. His father was injured in the attack but was the only one of their young family to survive the carnage. 'They were happy people who liked to live life to the full,' she told MailOnline. 'They never would have thought something like this could happen here.' The attack started at 11pm. Thousands of people were milling on the promenade, including hundreds of children, and the mood was cheerful. A music festival was taking place on the waterfront, with performances by jazz and rock musicians. Suddenly, a lorry appeared on the concourse and picked up speed, then began zigzagging across the pedestrian walkway where hundreds of people had gathered. Local resident Marie Cabot, 23, described how her boyfriend – who is too upset to speak himself – saw 'bodies flying everywhere'. 'He saw prams being crushed,' she told MailOnline. 'He was talking to a six-year-old boy, and five minutes later the boy had been hit and killed. He is traumatised. He is in shock.' Zaharia Alexandru, who has lived in Nice for 26 years, was sitting in his car waiting for a friend when he saw the lorry speeding along the boardwalk. 'I heard lots of people screaming,' he said. 'I got out of my car and began trying to find my children, like everyone else was looking for their children. I was running about 10 feet behind the truck. 'There were lots of bodies. Many were already dead. Their skulls were shattered, you could see that. 'Everyone was trying to help the ones who were still alive.' Retired teacher John Cordwell, 66, a British expat living in Germany with a holiday home in Nice, was on the promenade with his wife Chantal, 63, when the attack took place. 'At first we thought the brakes had failed,' he said. 'Then we found ourselves wandering around in a sort of nightmare like you couldn't imagine. 'There were lots of dead bodies being covered in white blankets. One man was rocking over the body of a relative, crying and praying to Allah. 'I saw a lady next to a half-covered body in great distress. There was a young couple standing in shock by the body of their child. They were very distressed. It was a terrible sight.' He added: 'One lady was presumably by her husband, she was on her phone, contacting home to say he had died. 'Several people had really lost it, they were really emotional, screaming and crying. Women pulling their hair out. 'One couple kept coming into the road and trying to stop the police cars which were constantly coming down, crying "please help us, please help us".' Chantal, who had been riding a bicycle along the promenade, described how she had avoided death through 'sheer luck'. 'It was my lucky time,' she said. 'The terrorist drove around the bus shelter and I happened to be behind it. The lorry passed about six feet from me. If the bus shelter hadn't been there, I'd have been hit.' The couple, who now live in Frankfurt, said they believe the hero motorcyclist who tried to stop Bouhlel had been killed. 'There was a motorbike that had been propped up on the verge and the body of the rider covered with a blanket, with his black leather boots poking out,' said Mr Cordwell. 'It was probably [the hero]. Who else could it have been? The motorcycle is there, he's lying next to it, dead. 'The motorcycle wasn't damaged, it wasn't as though it was hit by the truck so we just presumed it was this same man who confronted the truck driver.' DRIED BLOOD ON THE PAVEMENT: PROMENADE DES ANGLAIS REOPENS

By Flora Drury in Nice, France, for MailOnline

Pools of dried blood were still visible as the Promenade des Anglais reopened on Saturday. Flowers were placed on the blood-stained tarmac, each marking the place where an innocent bystander was mowed down. Holidaymakers were back on the beach, carrying brightly coloured inflatables along the pavement where 84 people lost their lives. For Robert Schreiber, the memory is still raw. A waiter at the five-star Palais de la Mediteranee, he had just walked outside when the truck driven by Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhel smashed into the crowd. 'I myself had just come out of the restaurant,' her called. 'It was a shocking situation, you've got the lorry coming down the road. 'It took everything that was in his way with him. And you've got hundreds of people streaming into the buildings. 'The first thing you think is that it is going to be another Bataclan. They were shooting. The lorry had stopped just a little way down. We thought he would get out. 'Who would not think that?' The hotel was immediately turned into an 'emergency room', with 50 of the injured carried in, while others hid in the back. Children were taken upstairs to be treated - both for shock and for physical injuries. Meanwhile, Robert, who has lived in Nice on and off for 12 years, went outside to help. 'There were 20 or 30 corpses along the way. Some were clearly dead, some were still whimpering a little, but then passed away. 'One infant had been crushed by the lorry. 'A couple of ladies were screaming for help. 'And, of course, we have to help. You cannot head inside and hope it will go away.' Robert and his colleagues stayed until almost two in the morning. Today, standing in the road where so many died, he was still trying to come to terms with it. 'It is a huge shock for everybody - one guy comes along here and kills 80 people? If that happened in your home town you would be shocked too,' he said. 'And I think about 50 kids have been injured or killed. If you could exchange your life with one of theirs, you would.' Robert did have one criticism, however. The tourists who were going along filming the dead and dying. 'I got quite cross at the tourists walking along, taking pictures. Everything has to be documented. 'Just think about if it was your family or friend. 'They should have been helping those who were still alive.' British expat Benjamin Lockwood was also upset by a lack of respect by holidaymakers towards the horror which unfolded here on Thursday night. 'I started shouting at some Italians because they were walking in the pools of blood,' he told MailOnline. 'If this had happened in their country, they would not let the Brits or French do that.' Benjamin was meant to be at the fireworks on Thursday night. He had been there every year since he moved to Nice in 2000. But the wind had picked up, so the optician and his wife decided to stay at home with their three children. He watched events unfold on television at home - unable to move. On Saturday, he walked the length of the Promenade des Anglais, trying to make sense of what had happened - remembering those who lost their lives in his own way. 'I feel guilty now,' he admitted. 'I saw of all this happening on the television but didn't move. 'The next morning, I thought, I should have gone down. I should have helped the police, the ambulance. 'I've seen some terrible videos of people in agony and there is not enough people helping. 'If I could go back, I would do it differently.' A gunfight ensued between the terrorist and the police. One police source told MailOnline that five officers took part in killing the fanatic, one of whom was a woman. As the crowd panicked and surged to safety, several hundred made for the Hotel Negresco, a grand, art deco beachfront hotel. Risham, 24, and Rimal, 21, Pakistani holidaymakers who were staying at the hotel, told MailOnline how the glass doors had been locked and desperate people were banging on them, begging to be let in. 'When the staff realised there was an emergency they opened the doors, and about 500 people flooded in,' Risham said. 'They were shouting like anything, screaming, running for their lives. They had bloody knees and elbows and many were barefoot. One had his shirt ripped off. 'Some were seriously injured and the staff gave them first aid. I saw a group of women being moved in wheelchairs.' Panicking revellers were dashing along the hotel corridors, she said, hammering on doors and pleading to be let in. 'Everybody was terrified,' she said. 'The situation went from heaven to hell in a matter of minutes.' Rimal added: 'I saw mothers throwing their children out of the path of the lorry. People were running away with their skin peeling off.' Other members of the crowd broke away and ran into the side-streets, ending up at La Fritkot restaurant as shots rang out behind them. 'About 20 people ran into my restaurant and I hid them all in the basement,' proprietor Joel Fuchs, 54, told MailOnline. 'I turned out all the lights and barricaded the door. 'We stayed there until 1am when when knew it was safe to come out.' Ukrainian Yevgeniya Pankina, 30, openly wept as she recalled the carnage. 'It was inhuman,' she said. 'Everybody was partying and laughing. Then, it was an impossible thing. It was just like a horror film.' Although the brutal attack stunned France, many Nicoise said that they had been anticipating an act of terror for some time. Fred Colombo, 32, a translator living in Nice, said that the town is notorious for its large number of jihadis. 'For years, Nice has been known as a place where terrorists are recruited to fight in Syria and Iraq,' he said. 'We knew it would happen here someday. It's a shock but it's not a surprise.' In the aftermath of the worst attack that Nice has seen in living memory, anger is beginning to erupt. Some locals blame the authorities, claiming that the scant security presence acted as an invitation to terrorists. 'The military should have been here,' Sarah Guida told MailOnline. 'The security is all for the tourists. We are meat to the government. All that money they made from the European football championships, and we were like cattle to the slaughter.' Yesterday afternoon, one tearful elderly woman led the crowd in a chorus of La Marseillaise, the French national anthem, standing at the makeshift shrine that had been set up at the site of the killings. 'My whole family were there. The four-year-old is in a state of shock, she is not speaking, sleeping or eating,' she said. 'Everyone was panicking and looking for their children. 'At a time like this we all need to come together and be strong. We need to remember what France stands for.'

How Many Associates Suffered Mysterious Deaths Working For the Clintons?

By Voice of Reason · Saturday, July 16th, 2016

As the article below points out, with Hillary Clinton seeming more and more likely to be elected this November, one thing people should not be permitted to forget, so it’s incumbent upon those of us who know, to keep telling people about how time and time again, those who could have potentially threatened the success of the Clinton family, have died in unusual fashion. Who could forget the mysterious Vince Foster suicide, or the convenient James McDougal’s heart attack? There are 44 more names on that list. If you want to dig really deep inside the deaths of many of these people you can visit a site called Arkancide. What about Suzanne Coleman? For anyone who has never heard of Coleman before, she’s was one of Wild Bill’s many alleged victims, and she’s dead. I'm just getting started. Suzanne Coleman “allegedly” died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the BACK of the head while allegedly pregnant with Bill Clinton’s illegitimate baby. I’ll leave it up to you whether or not you believe she committed suicide with a baby in her belly, and by reaching the gun around to the back of her head. The audio below is from a radio interview with Citizens United’s founder Floyd Brown, and it deals with Coleman’s death. In the interview, Brown talks about the lengths Hillary used to go to just to keep Bill safe from the repercussions that would have resulted from all his sexual escapades. Apparently, Floyd Brown had his suspicions about Coleman’s shady suicide, as did many people I’m sure, and he was prone to talking about it on his home telephone. Well, Hillary illegally wire tapped Brown’s phone, and needless to say she didn’t like Brown discussing that issue because of the effect it could have while Bill was in office. Think it ends there? In relatively recent news, and covered in a prior post titled, Another Clinton Associate Found Dead, Bill and Hillary’s Body Count Increases, Clinton associate Walter Scheib was found dead. He was hired by the Clinton White House to work as a Chef, and continued to serve the Bush administration. Interestingly, he was reported missing during a hike, and his body was found almost 2 miles away at the bottom of a river. No cause of death has ever been made, but the death date is listed as June 13, 2015. As DC Clothesline said a while back: Who could forget the bombshell admission of Larry Nichols? The answer to that is probably almost everyone because very few even know the admission happened: “When ever I got an F2 call, that meant go and kill. State police are not trained to kill in … the late ’70s, early ’80s. There were no SWAT teams…. I had an F2 call, that meant go in and kill a guy. I didn’t give a shit…. When it [the order to kill] came from the president [Reagan], it was for God and country. When it came from Clinton, hell, I didn’t give a damn. I just go kill somebody, cut his nuts off.” Why is it that no one takes this interview seriously? Why has none of the mainstream media reported it? If it is untrue then expose Larry Nichols as a liar and let’s move on. But the media acts like the interview never happened. Larry Nichols and the Clinton's should be investigated and likely stand trial. Nichols made these comments on a national radio show and no one seems to care. Want to hear the interview? Listen below. It will shock you! NewsTarget.com reports: Controversy has surrounded the Clinton family for decades now. Whether its sex scandals, war crimes or financial shadiness, the family seems generally corrupt by all accounts. But perhaps the eeriest realization surrounding the Clinton's is the staggering amount of those who have worked closely with them dying under mysterious — even suspicious — circumstances. Much like holistic health doctors who threatened to expose Big Pharma, there are too many red flags to discredit these untimely deaths as mere coincidences. Starting in the early 1990s, many people who could potentially unveil secrets about the family have wound up dead. From James McDougal, Hillary’s convicted partner at Whitewater, to Suzanne Coleman, the pregnant woman who was rumored to have had an affair with Bill, many people who cross the Clinton's or do anything that could potentially ruin their reputations end up dying in peculiar ways. With Hillary Clinton seeming more and more likely to be elected this November, these are the kinds of things that should be looked into. As with all conspiracies, there could be reasonable explanations for a few of these, but time and time again, those who could potentially threaten the success of the Clinton family have died in unusual fashion. Perhaps it couldn’t hurt to merely look into it. Regardless of the outcome, there’s no denying that Hillary is dangerous. Who knows what America may look like with her as our commander-in-chief. The things she’s already done — and the things she plans to do if elected — have the potential to have devastating effects on our country. If that day unfortunately comes — and she does become the leader of the United States — the smartest thing we can do is prepare for the worst .

Given her sordid history with Bill and Hillary, if anything strange happens to Monica Lewinsky, we’ll know for sure that something terrible is going on… HERE IS THE CLINTON KILL LIST TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE:

1. James McDougal – Convicted Whitewater partner of the Clinton's who died of an apparent heart attack, while in solitary confinement. He was a key witness in Ken Starr's investigation.

Volcanic unrest around the world: Lava river on Sinabung volcano, Kilauea volcano incinerates forest and new cone on Kluchevskoy

By Strange Sounds - Jul 15, 2016

The volcanic unrest continues around the world.

A new lava river is flowing on Sinabung volcano in Indonesia, The Kilauea volcano incinerates a forest and a new cinder cone has formed on the Kluchevskoy volcano.

1. The lava flow on the Sinabung volcano is eerie at night. The Sinabung volcano is continuously spewing lava since July 7, 2016. It now flows down on the slopes of the volcanic peak. And, at night, the incandescent colors are just out of this world. Insane! 2. Kilauea volcano incinerates a forest This stunning footage was captured of lava was captured at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on July 12, 2016. Wow! Lava covering burning trees. The lava is flowing towards the Pacific Ocean and was about a half mile away from the water as of Sunday, July 10, 2016. Although not dangerous for local communities, the lava from the Kilauea volcano can get over a sweltering 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit hot… And burn everything on its path. 3. A new cone is growing on the Kluchevskoy volcano New cone of the Klyuchevskoy volcano According to TASS, a new cone is growing on the Klyuchevskoy volcano. The newly formed geological feature is more than 10 meters high. The cinder cone to grow where early July. Now it spews lava to a height of 100 meters and shoot fire “bomb.” The new cone has grown at an altitude of 4500 meters, although they usually form on this volcano at an altitude ranging between 500 and 3600 meters. Is it going to disappear rapidly due to the current eruptive phase of the volcanic peak. Three lava rivers are currently flowing down the slopes of the volcano. Explosions in the crater could be heard at a distance of over 13 km. The height of the dispersion of volcanic bombs was about 200m above the crater rim.

US braces itself for coast-to-coast heatwave: Arizona to be hit by blistering 116-degree day, while the Midwest endures peaks of 101 and the rest of the country endures stifling heat in the 90s

From Saturday onward the heatwave will spread out from the Midwest

Most of the country will hit temperatures in at least the low 80s

And much of the western Midwest will push - or even go past - 100 degrees

The worst-hit point will be Arizona, which could hit 116 degrees on Friday

Thursday will be the worst day for the Midwest and Western states

They'll cool a little Friday, while areas closer to the East Coast will rise

From Saturday on, much of the US could be up to 75% warmer than usual

By James Wilkinson For Dailymail.com Published: 23:22 EST, 15 July 2016 | Updated: 00:37 EST, 16 July 2016

A blistering heatwave will sweep across America next week, leaving almost the entire country sweltering in temperatures of over 90 degrees - with some areas even pushing past 100. Arizona will be the hardest-hit, peaking at 116 degrees, according to long-range predictions by the National Weather Service. If those predictions bear out practically the entire country will be suffering from the unusually warm summer weather, with only the Pacific Northwest escaping relatively unscathed. The build-up is expected to begin Sunday, as the heat currently centered on the southwest states - and the California/Arizona border - flows quickly out across the country, hitting the western reaches of the Midwest hard. By Tuesday even the northern tip of North Dakota and Minnesota, currently enjoying temperatures in the upper 70s, will find themselves sweating it out in the low 90s. And those in South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Texas will find themselves at the center of a country-wide sweatbox with temperatures of up to 98 degrees. Meanwhile, much of the East Cost will be smothered in high-80s or low-90s heat. But the border of California and Arizona will be hit the hardest of all with possible peaks of 113 degrees. The unseasonal trend is expected to continue across the week, with the peak for central states coming on Thursday. That's when areas of South Dakota are expected to reach as high as 101 degrees, while the rest of the Midwest hums under a 90 degree heat. Even the Northeast and Pacific Northwest will feel the brunt of the heatwave, with only those regions at the very tips of Oregon, Washington, Maine and Massachusetts feeling the caress of sub-80-degree weather. Those around lakes or mountains may feel some benefit, but even the highest regions of Montana and Wyoming will be fanning themselves in mid-80s-to-mid-90s temperatures. And those on the outskirts of Los Angeles will be suffering the extreme heat that their neighbors in Nevada have endured for the previous few days. That hot weather will dip a little in the Pacific Northwest and Midwest on Friday, but the Northeast and South Atlantic will continue to heat up - and Nevada will endure its hottest day: a painful 116 degrees. And beyond that the temperatures are expected to remain high, with the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center saying that from July 23-29, only the Pacific Northwest will have normal weather. Almost the entire rest of the country will be 'enjoying' a continued heatwave that will see temperatures 60-to-75 per cent higher than normal. Of course, long-range predictions are far from set in stone, and things could change. But now might be the time to stock up on fans, A/C units and sweet, sweet popsicles.

Tragedy In France

by Hal Lindsey

Once again the world has been shocked by the cruelty of terrorism — this time along the beautiful French Riviera in Nice, France. The numbers will probably change, but French officials are now saying 84 died and 50 were injured when a truck plowed into a massive crowd, zigging and zagging to hit as many people as possible over an area a couple of miles long. As I write this, no terror organization has taken “credit” for the attack, but it fits the pattern of radical jihadism that has dogged France for some time. A crowd of around 40,000 had gathered for a fireworks show as part of Bastille Day celebrations. Video shows police vainly trying to stop the truck as it passed through one of their checkpoints and entered the strip of road where the spectators stood. There are reports that the driver had both firearms and explosives with him, despite the strict gun control laws of France. Of course, you can’t outlaw trucks, but this strip of road had been closed to vehicle traffic in order to accommodate the crowds. It shows again that terrorists will use whatever means they find at hand in our highly mechanized civilization. World leaders, including President Obama, have condemned the attack and offered support to the French people. But these kinds of condolence calls have begun to feel wholly inadequate in the face of repeated tragedies. After the jihadist attack last November killed 130 people, France declared a state of emergency. It was to have been lifted on July 26th. In making the announcement, President Francois Hollande said, “We can’t prolong the state of emergency forever. That would make no sense, it would mean that we were no longer a republic with laws which can apply in all circumstances.” Then, just a few hours after his announcement, the attack in Nice took place. When he spoke to the nation after the event, Hollande announced that the state of emergency would be extended for yet another three months. If this becomes the “new normal,” then by President Hollande’s own words, France would cease to be “a republic with laws which can apply in all circumstances.” Why France? After all, massive numbers of Muslim immigrants have passed into several European Union nations over the last year, including a million in Germany. On arrival, many Muslim immigrants have a hard time assimilating, but so far, the real ticking time bomb seems to be among second and third generation Muslim immigrants. Muslim immigration saved France from what would have been a time of negative population growth. A decreasing population devastates a nation’s economic and military strength. So, beginning as early as the 1970s, France began to actively bring in Muslim immigrants. They felt sure they could seduce them with the French way of life, but it didn’t work. The Islamic population tended to stay in enclaves, building their own society. They stayed in close touch with their home countries, and raised their children with a Muslim identity and not a French one. The government reached out to them creating such organizations as the “French Council of the Muslim Faith.” But that didn’t work either. The immediate trigger for the wave of Islamic terrorism going on in France has been ISIS and the Syrian civil war. But the underlying cause is a deeply unhappy, underemployed and impoverished Muslim population living apart from the rest of French society. Events in France portend difficult years ahead for Great Britain, Germany, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, Norway, Spain, Greece, and possibly, the United States — all places with heavy Muslim immigration. When you pray for the people of Nice, and for France generally, remember the missionaries. France was once a proudly Catholic nation, but today there are few Christian believers of any persuasion. Church attendance is almost nonexistent. Protestant Christians make up less than 3% of the population. Only 27% of the French say they believe in God. Muslims make up more than a third of the 27% because polling data makes no distinction between God and Allah. France has become a spiritual wasteland. But several missionary organizations are at work there, and they need our support. Stronger borders and better laws may help, but the only long-term answer for that nation, or any other, is a spiritual awakening to the reality of Jesus Christ.

A cry from France: After Nice, can we finally face the truth about this war?

By Amir Taheri July 15, 2016 | 10:57am

The French Riviera is the one spot in Europe that comes closest to the image of an earthly paradise. At its heart is the Franco-Italian city of Nice, now France’s No. 2 tourist attraction after Paris. On Wednesday night, as the French celebrated the anniversary of their Great Revolution, Nice was jam-packed with tens of thousands of tourists from all over the world, many of them on the golden mile between the iconic Negresco hotel and the Palais de Mediterranee to watch the annual fireworks. To a committed Islamist, Nice was the very symbol of a sinful “deviation from the Right Path.” It was then that Mohamed Lahoueiej Bouhelel drove his giant white truck on the Promenade des Anglais in a bid to kill as many as he could. Just over a mile and long minutes of zigzagging later, Bouhelel had managed to kill at least 84 people and injure dozens more before being shot by a policeman. First reports say victims were of 20 different nationalities, including American and Russian. Police say many victims were French Muslim citizens of North African origin. It was the fourth time in just over two years that France was being attacked by what President François Hollande was quick to label “Islamic terrorism.” In January 2015, three days of attacks by gunmen in Paris left 17 dead, starting with the raid on the offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo to execute its editorial staff. In November 2015, parallel attacks by seven gunmen in Paris killed 132 and injured 350 more in the deadliest terrorist “incident” in French history. This June, a man claiming to operate on behalf of ISIS killed two police officials in Magnaville, a suburb of Paris. For the past 18 months, France has lived under a state of emergency, the longest in its history. On Tuesday, President Hollande, in his annual National Day address, said he planned to lift the emergency — a pledge he quickly withdrew after the carnage in Nice. In the same period, police units have been working overtime, some say to exhaustion, while army units have been deployed in Paris and at least five other major cities. Yet, as the Nice attack showed, France is no safer than before. Nathalie Goulet, who heads the French Senate’s foreign affairs committee, describes the situation as “a nightmare.” “The question is: Are we able to prevent [such attacks]? And my answer is: Unfortunately no.” Should France prepare itself to regard terrorism as the “new normal”? This is what Prime Minister Manuel Valls suggests. “France has to learn to live with terrorism,” he said Thursday, repeating what he had said in the security conference in Munich last February. The chief weakness in France’s anti-terrorism strategy is the inability of its leadership elite to agree on a workable definition of the threat the nation faces. Many still cling to the notion that Bouhelel and other terrorists are trying to take revenge against France for its colonial past. Yet Tunisia, where Bouhelel’s family came from in the 1960s, has been independent for more than 60 years, double the life of the terrorist — who had not been there, even as a tourist. Some, like the Islamologist Gilles Kepel, blame French society for “the sense of exclusion” inflicted on immigrants of Muslim origin. However, leaving aside self-exclusion, there are few barriers that French citizens of Muslim faith can’t cross. Today, Valls’ Cabinet includes at least two Muslim ministers. Still others claim that France is being hit because of Muslim grievances over Palestine, although successive French governments have gone out of their way to sympathize with the “Arab cause.” France was the first nation to impose an arms embargo on Israel in 1967 and the first in the West to recognize the PLO. Meanwhile, there is growing anger in Paris with Iran, which has launched a propaganda campaign to blame France’s policies for the attack in Nice. Claude Bartolone, speaker of the French National Assembly, has canceled his long-planned official visit to Tehran. The blame-the-victim school also claims that France is attacked because of the “mess in the Middle East,” although the French took no part in toppling Saddam Hussein and have stayed largely on the sidelines in the conflict in Syria. Isn’t it possible that this new kind of terrorism, practiced by neo-Islam, is not related to any particular issue? Isn’t it possible that Bouhelel didn’t want anything specific because he wanted everything, starting with the right to kill people not because of what they did but because of who they were? “The Muslim warrior (ghazi) should make sure that no one is safe anywhere unless he submits to an Islamic authority,” wrote Sheik Yussef al-Ayyeri, the late theoretician of al Qaeda and ISIS. In all its various versions, whether ISIS, the Taliban in Afghanistan or the Khomeinist cabal in Tehran, this neo-Islam demands to impose its will on the whole of mankind, by terror if necessary. And there is nothing more futile than the debate over whether this is “true Islam.” The Grand Mosque in Paris condemns the Nice attacks, but in its normal “sermons,” it also condemns everything that Nice represented. Ten months ago, in an “Open letter to the Western Youth,” Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, invited the Western democracies to abandon their current national and international policies and devise new strategies in close consultation with “the world of Islam.” In other words, submit or die. President Hollande must admit that his nation, perhaps the whole democratic portion of the globe, is at war, a war over two mutually exclusive visions of the future.

Germany train axe attack: Live updates as 18 injured after teenage refugee shouted 'Allahu Akbar' and hacked passengers

Updated 15:22, 19 Jul 2016 By Natalie Evans , Richard Wheatstone , John Shammas

A 17-year-old Afghan refugee believed to be behind the attack was shot dead by police as he reportedly charged at them following the incident at Würzburg-Heidingsfeld station 18 people were injured after a man armed with an axe went on a bloody rampage after storming a train in Germany. Armed police swarmed the area soon after receiving reports that a man hacked at passengers on board a train close to Wurzburg in southern Germany. Police have confirmed that 18 people have been injured in the horrifying attack - three of them ate fighting for life. A 17-year-old Afghan refugee believed to be behind the attack was shot dead by police as he reportedly charged at them following the incident near Würzburg-Heidingsfeld station. The boy is reported to have shouted "Allahu Akbar" before the attack and investigators believed he had a become 'self-radicalised' Muslim. This is how the events unfolded. The video shows the male - who ISIS claims was behind the Wurzburg attack - vowing that ‘kufar’ will be targeting in every ‘village, city and airport’. He says: “I am a soldier of the caliphate and I am going to carry out an suicide attack in Germany. “O Kufar, the time has passed when you would come to our homeland and kill our men, our women and our children. And your apostate rulers were silent about these massacres. “That time is over now. Now the Islamic Caliphate has been established in Iraq, Al-Sham, Khorosan, Libya and Yemen and God Willing, soldiers of the caliphate will get you “They will slaughter you in your own back yard and they will live in your houses and break your rules and take your land. We will target you in every village, every city and every airport God Willing.” etc

A hand-painted ISIS flag has since been found in the bedroom of the attacker by police. etc.

Freddie Gray case: After three acquittals, prosecutors face tough challenge in remaining trials, experts say

July 18, 2016

With three acquittals and a hung jury in the trials of Baltimore police officers charged in the arrest and death of Freddie Gray, prosecutors face steep hurdles to winning convictions in the three remaining cases, legal experts said. Circuit Judge Barry G. Williams, who cleared Lt. Brian Rice of all charges Monday, sent a strong message that the state's attorney's office lacks the evidence to prove the officers' conduct was criminal, observers said. "The state is not simply 0 for 4," said defense attorney Warren Brown, who is not involved in the cases but has observed the proceedings. "They're 0 for 24 when you add up all the charges that the judge or jury considered through the course of four trials." Rice, 42, was found not guilty of involuntary manslaughter, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment. Williams had dropped a charge of second-degree assault at the trial's midpoint. "The judge has said over and over and over again [that the evidence] falls short of convincing him beyond a reasonable doubt" that the officers are criminally culpable, Brown said. That doesn't necessarily mean prosecutors should drop the remaining cases, one expert said. University of Maryland law professor Douglas Colbert said the trials are sending a message to police. Prosecutors should keep going after adapting their strategy based on Williams' latest ruling, he said. "It would be irresponsible not to continue prosecution as long as our elected official believes that there's evidence to satisfy the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt," Colbert said, referring to Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby. "An elected official cannot fall to the public pressure being placed by the police union and others." Several challenges for prosecutors have emerged through the trials so far: •Williams has agreed with defense arguments that a crowd that formed around the arrest scene gave officers reasonable cause to use their discretion not to adhere to the department's police general orders on using seat belts. •Williams has said medical evidence was unclear about when exactly during Gray's ride in the van his injuries occurred. •He has said that the state can't prove that police were aware of new department rules, issued just days before Gray's arrest and which took away officers' discretion about putting seat belts on detainees. •And the judge has said that failure to follow general orders is not in and of itself a crime, particularly without being able to show that those rules were recklessly disregarded rather than a mere error in judgment. Prosecutors and defense attorneys are barred from speaking publicly about the cases because of a gag order imposed by Williams. Officer Garrett Miller, who observed Monday's ruling, is the next officer scheduled to be tried. Miller's case is fraught with new challenges for prosecutors: Because they compelled him to testify under immunity at the trial of Officer Edward Nero, a new team of prosecutors was appointed to handle his case. Before his trial, the court will hold a hearing where prosecutors will have to prove that they were not exposed to any of Miller's testimony. During the process in which prosecutors lobbied to compel Miller to testify, Williams, the Maryland attorney general's office and the Court of Appeals all said prosecutors face a high bar at such a hearing. Officer William Porter also was compelled to testify, and his retrial also will require such a hearing, known as a "Kastigar hearing." The third officer who still has pending charges is Sgt. Alicia White. Miller's case focuses on Gray's initial detention and arrest. Nero was already acquitted for his role in arresting Gray, and prosecutors dropped a charge against Rice related to that aspect of the case. Williams left some room for prosecutors in Miller's trial, finding that Nero did not participate directly in the arrest without rejecting prosecutors' argument that the detention was illegal. Still, he skeptically questioned prosecutors during closing arguments of Nero's trial. David Jaros, a University of Baltimore law professor who has been observing the trials, said prosecutors' best hope might be if Miller made an incriminating comment in his statement to investigators. "This is a hard case," Jaros said. "There are reasons to have doubts about what happened." But Jaros said people watching the cases shouldn't interpret Williams' verdicts as absolving the officers of wrongdoing. "The judge made it clear that just because you made a mistake — someone may have done something that was very wrong, that was very inappropriate — but that doesn't necessarily make it a crime," Jaros said. "If you do something that is grossly unreasonable, but you're not aware of the risk you're taking, you're not being grossly criminally negligent, even though you're being negligent," he said. Williams repeatedly stressed Monday that there was a difference between civil negligence — finding that the officers' conduct caused Gray's death — and criminal liability — determining that their conduct had been so reckless, with results that could have been anticipated, that they should be convicted of a crime. "To say there's a tragedy, therefore somebody has to be criminally responsible, is really an inappropriate manner to approach this case," said Brown, the defense attorney. David Harris, a University of Pittsburgh law professor who studies racial profiling and police misconduct, said that while he is "strongly sympathetic that police ought to be held accountable for wrongdoing," prosecutors have proceeded with a legally dicey case. "The American legal system is very reluctant to hold anybody, not just these police officers but anybody, criminally responsible for not doing something," Harris said. "Criminal law is not always the best tool available. Many times it feels like it should be, when there has been a parade of injustices over so many years. But any given case depends on its facts and evidence." Colbert thinks prosecutors can dig into their evidence and find something to satisfy what Williams is looking for. "I have to believe that evidence is available, and I hope we get to hear it at the next trial," he said. Defense attorneys in the cases so far have asked, before the beginning of the trials, for Williams to dismiss charges. Warren Alperstein, a defense attorney and former prosecutor, said judges can't dismiss a case based on their views of a previous trial. "No judge can control whether or not the state goes forward with any case," Alperstein said. "I don't see a scenario where any of these cases are going to be dismissed by the court. The only way the cases are not going to go forward is if the state elects to dismiss them." jfenton@baltsun.com

NOT A WHITE PROBLEM

The statistics in the chart below are representative of every Democrat controlled urban shithole city in America. Obama and his anti-gun activist minions are peddling a false narrative about guns because they understand most Americans are dumber than a sack of hammers and easily manipulated by propaganda. Obama uses every high profile shooting to blame guns, in order to deflect people from seeing the truth. And the truth is guns are not a problem in white America. It’s only a problem in the urban ghettos with the toughest gun laws run by Democrat mayors and city councils. Chicago is a perfect example of Obama ignoring the real problem. Fifty years of welfare programs and treating black people like victims has created a dysfunctional system leading to hopelessness, crime, and perpetual poverty. Chicago is 32% white, but they commit only 3.5% of the murders. Over 96% of the murders are committed by non-whites. Essentially, it is young black men murdering other black men. White people are not in the equation and are not part of the problem. It’s a black problem framed as a gun problem by Obama and his lying apparatchiks. There are approximately 8,000 gun related homicides annually in the U.S. The vast majority occur in the urban ghettos and are committed by blacks and hispanics against other blacks and hispanics. They use illegally acquired guns, so more gun laws will do nothing. Their lawless culture, requiring no personal responsibility by those who father children, creates the dysfunction and crime. The urban ghetto kill zones all have the same thing in common – run by liberal Democrats for decades, with poverty created by their welfare policies, dreadful public schools, and a black population who don’t work and take no personal responsibility for their lives or their children. Here are the murders by city for a sampling of these shitholes: HITE PROBLEM The statistics in the chart below are representative of every Democrat controlled urban shithole city in America.

Why don’t you hear Obama giving speeches about black communities policing themselves and taking responsibility for the crime, drugs and murder in their neighborhoods? He has no problem with proclamations about white people clinging to their guns in middle America where there are virtually no murders. The entire gun narrative peddled by liberals is false. The crime rate has been falling for 25 years. There were 24,703 murders in 1991 when the population was 253 million. Murders in 2014 totaled 14,249 with a population of 317 million. The willfully ignorant American public completely buys the falsehoods presented by Obama and believes murders and crime are skyrocketing. Today, the national crime rate is about half of what it was at its height in 1991. Violent crime has fallen by 51 percent since 1991, and property crime by 43 percent. In 2013 the violent crime rate was the lowest since 1970. And this holds true for unreported crimes as well. According to the National Crime Victimization Survey, since 1993 the rate of violent crime has declined from 79.8 to 23.2 victimizations per 1,000 people. So, with homicides at a 25 year low and completely confined to the urban ghettos where young black men kill other young black men, we need new gun laws to restrict what white people can own? It makes you wonder. Why has the government militarized local police forces across the country in white communities when crime and murder is virtually non-existent in those communities? Why is Obama and his liberal nazi hordes trying to ban any gun capable of providing defense against a tyrannical government? Why has this become a war on whites when it is solely a black problem? It’s almost as if the government is treating working class whites with guns as the enemy. I wonder.

Is Black Lives Matter as dangerous as ISIS?

By Jerome Almon Posted on July 18, 2016 by Ray Starmann

Americans HATE the TRUTH. As a matter of fact Americans despise the truth and anyone who tells it, even if that truth saves their lives and their livelihood. The reaction to the recent police ambush in Dallas irrefutably proves this point. The response from politicians, President Obama, and Americans as a whole was effeminate to say the least. That is, rather than move to eradicate the threat to all our freedoms and liberty, the response was the continued bowing to a group, Black Lives Matter; that is comprised of groups of posers, losers, and lunatics. The truth of the matter is Black Lives Matter is a ridiculous, cartoonish group of incompetents, that would be labeled village idiots in any other first world country or at any other time in American history. However, Black Lives Matter is dangerous, as dangerous as ISIS is to America, and Americans better accept that whether they understand it or not. Former DIA Director Lt. General Michael Flynn recently stated in an interview that ISIS was in danger of overrunning the country. This sentiment was echoed by former CIA head Admiral James Woolsey two weeks earlier. The reason these two men said what they said and I am stating what I am stating about Black Lives Matter is because we all view such groups from a real world perspective rather than a political or politically correct perspective. Being students of history, we recognize that the elements present within ISIS and Black Lives Matter MUST lead to violence and economic destruction. The proof…both have. Not might, not could, DID. ISIS has cost America trillions of dollars and Black Lives Matters has cost America hundreds of billions of dollars headed towards trillions. (This is due to ISIS being part of the larger Jihadi Army from Iraq to Afghanistan, and Black Lives Matter’s costs being related to police departments, rioting, and loss of revenue/GDP respectively.) In August of 2015 I warned NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton, the Chiefs of Detroit, Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami and several police organizations that the Black Lives Matter protests would end up exactly where they ended up in Dallas on 7 July 2016-in ultra violence. I warned that certain steps had to be taken or America would have a second insurgency inside the country along with the Jihadist fighters from ISIS and Al Qaeda. That day has come. America can neither afford economically or from a standpoint of security to fight another insurgency-especially one comprised of millions of generational Americans. There is a term for that…Civil War. There is no way Russia, China, India, or Germans (as opposed to German Chancellor Angela Merkel) would tolerate such an insurgent movement as Black Lives Matter, they aren’t that STUPID. The question is WHY are WE? The answer is our leaders are. They are so used to lying, stealing, and being deluded that they cannot accept what is right in front of their faces. The perfect example is with the recent ISIS video release stating that it was going to attack San Francisco and Las Vegas and the San Francisco and Las Vegas leadership stating that there is no “credible threat” What has Black Lives Matter PROMISED to attack? More cops, I have no doubt that they will do exactly that any day now. (Editor’s Note – This article was written several days before the Baton Rouge shootings) To put Black Lives Matter and its threats and danger in perspective, if the Mafia, the biker gangs at last year’s shoot out at the Twin Peaks Bar and Restaurant, or the Bloods and Crips told you that they were going to kill you and your family, would you believe them? Of course you would, their history or violence and most importantly, recent actions leave no doubt they are cold blooded killers. The Mafia, biker gangs, and all other American organized crime have a rule, that a member that kills a cop in uniform will be killed by a member of his own organization. They have that amount of common sense, street gangs do not, Black Lives Matter does not. The professional crime syndicates understand that the law enforcement community will decimate them if they kill cops in uniform. They will not make a dime, which is their sole purpose-to make money. Street gangs and Black Lives Matter do not get this and are given cover by politicians such as Hillary Clinton and President Obama. They see police officers in uniform as targets with their badges being a bullseye. They are political gangsters, out of control, out to destroy America and what we have built over the past 240 years. Like ISIS and Al Qaeda the rule book does not exist, they will exploit every opportunity presented to them in the way the Dallas shooter specifically trained to exploit the fact that police would view him as a criminal rather than as a terrorist. This is a mistake, it is the deed that is at issue not who did it or where they did it. Being a generational American on the streets of Dallas does not make any less of a terrorist than if you were an ISIS fighter on the streets of Dallas committing the very same act. America better get this, and get it now. We either stop this now or we forfeit the country as we know it. What has to happen is that the recommendations presented to the Police Chiefs in August of 2015 have to be implemented. The authorities have to set the rules regarding the protesters and enforce them. The police have to run the show not Black Lives Matter, as is the case now. The Police Chiefs and Sheriffs must notify Black Lives Matter, in the same way they notify biker gangs concerning what will and will not happen in their city or county. (Sheriffs for instance, set the rule on whether biker gangs can wear their colors in their counties, for example in Clark County where Las Vegas sits, the Sheriff forbids it, and all KNOW to comply or else they might find themselves in a hole in the desert.) The leaders of the Black Lives Matter, activist allied with them, celebrities that encourage them, and politicians that cover for them should be served notice that they will be held PERSONALLY accountable under RICO and terrorism laws for their relationship, encouragement, and support of Black Lives Matter (as well as in civil court). There must be a sense of urgency regarding Black Lives Matter, in the way American political leadership should have had concerning ISIS and its Jihadi partners. Black Lives Matter has entered Phase II of its violent attacks against America, as opposed to ISIS which is in Phase III of its violent attacks against America. We are on the verge of having these two Phases and groups MERGE. Don’t believe me? Just track Black Lives Matter from Ferguson to Dallas, and track ISIS/Al Qaeda from Ft. Hood to Orlando. The only difference is the names of the organizations, with one other frightening exception. ISIS has infiltrated the American political, security, and intelligence apparatus, Black Lives Matter IS the political, security, and intelligence apparatus. It is NOW or NEVER. If NEVER, learn Arabic, if NOW call on and support police entities and responsible civilians to get together and implement the necessary solutions to the problem WHILE WE STILL HAVE THE CHANCE.

Police search Turkish air base used by US military that houses NATO's largest nuclear weapons storage facility after commander was arrested by Erdogan over coup

Turkish police have started a search of the Incirlik air base following coup

Base is used by US military and is largest store of NATO nuclear weapons

Commander of the base General Bekir Ercan Van has been arrested

Reports suggest fighter jets carrying out the coup used the base to refuel

By Jennifer Newton for MailOnline Published: 09:59 EST, 18 July 2016 | Updated: 12:19 EST, 18 July 2016

Turkish prosecutors accompanied by police have started a search of an air base used by US troops, which contains nuclear weapons. The Incirlik base in the Adana province close to Syria is used by the US-led coalition forces as a launch pad for raids on ISIS and is NATO's largest nuclear weapons storage facility. Now in the wake of Fridays failed military coup, authorities have begun a search of the base, according to state-run media. The authorities have already arrested a Turkish air force general from the base who was suspected of plotting the coup. General Bekir Ercan Van, ten other soldiers and one police officer from the Incirlik base were detained for their role in the botched Friday coup attempt. The Turkish private DHA news agency showed footage of Van handcuffed and pushed into a van outside a courthouse. News reports say refueling aircraft that took off from the base helped keep F-16s used by the coup-plotters up in the air. The Turkish President accused the plotters of being part of a conspiracy led by his former ally Fethullah Gulen, who is based in Pennsylvania. The US-based preacher accused Tayyip Erdogan of staging the coup himself to justify his purge. However, Turkey has reopened the base to U.S. planes, used to attack Islamic State, following an attempted coup. 'After close coordination with our Turkish allies, they have reopened their airspace to military aircraft. As a result, counter-ISIL coalition air operations at all air bases in Turkey have resumed,' a Pentagon statement said. Turkey, a major U.S. ally, has allowed the United States to use the air base in Incirlik to launch attacks against the militant group. Those air operations were temporarily halted following the coup attempt on Friday. Secretary of State John Kerry said on CNN's 'State of the Union' that he had spoken with Turkey's foreign minister three times on Saturday. 'They assure me that there will be no interruption of our counter-ISIL efforts,' Kerry said, using an acronym to refer to the Islamic State. Kerry said that the difficulty for U.S. planes accessing Incirlik may have been a result of planes flown in support of the coup using the air base to refuel. On NBC's 'Meet the Press' on Sunday, Kerry was asked if Turkey's president would use the coup attempt to seize more power. Kerry said such a move by Erdogan would be a challenge to his relationship with Europe, with NATO and others. 'We have urged them not to reach out so far that they are creating doubts about their commitment to the democratic process,' he said.

Turks blockade U.S. nuke base: American airmen without electricity and water

July 18, 2016

Vero Beach, FL - (TRUNEWS) Turkish police have unofficially blockaded Incirlik Air Base in Turkey, according to a military source inside the joint NATO installation. According to the source, whose identity and position has been verified by TRUNEWS, the U.S. portion of the Incirlik Air Base has been cut off from local power since Friday, forcing personnel to solely rely on fuel generators to power mission critical buildings. The source said that Turkish police units are still maintaining a blockade of the base entrance — which began Friday night — and that critical supplies such as fuel, food, and water are running low. Rationing protocols have gone into effect base-wide, and personnel are enduring above 90°F temperatures without access to air conditioning and other nonessential powered amenities. The source confirmed previous reports that local police entered the Turkish side of Incirlik Air Base on Saturday, and arrested the 10th Base commander, General Bekir Ercan Van. Eleven other Turkish service members and a police officer were arrested, a senior Turkish official confirmed to the Wall Street Journal Sunday. In a December interview with Turkish state-run Anadolu Agency, an unnamed USAF F-16 pilot told reporters that soldiers from both sides of the NATO installation ate at the same dining facility, and that the Turkish Air Command — which likely housed General Bekir Ercan Van’s primary office — was positioned directly next to the U.S. Air Command. Incirlik Air Base serves as a significant bastion of U.S. force projection in the Middle East, is headquarters to the US 39th Air Base Wing, and vaults over 50 B-61 nuclear bombs on-site. The source was unaware of the status of those nuclear armaments, but confirmed the base has maintained its Friday night security status of FPCON Delta — the same high level of alert military bases were placed on after the attacks on September 11th 2001. According to a public statement made Sunday by Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim, military airspace restrictions — which began Friday night — have since been lifted. Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook confirmed the change in airspace accessibility Sunday morning, and stated that “U.S. facilities at Incirlik are still operating on internal power sources,” officials “hope to restore commercial power soon”, and that “base operations have not been affected.” Contrary to that statement, a family member of a U.S. Service member garrisoned at Incirlik Air Base told TRUNEWS that the Turkish side of the base never lost access to commercial power , and the blackout is, and has been, solely experienced on the U.S. portion of the installation. On Monday, following the arrests of approximately 20,000 political, military, and police officials throughout the country, Turkey’s state-run news agency reported that for a second time an uninvited armed continent of police entered Incirlik Air Base. Anadolu Agency said the two Deputy Attorney General’s and seven Prosecutors were sent to conduct an investigation related to the foiled military coup — an event which many suspect was actually staged by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to eliminate oppositionary forces. A military representative with the public affairs office for Incirlik Air Base was reached by phone Monday evening, but was unauthorized to answer questions pertaining to the health and welfare of the approximately 1,500 airmen stationed at the base, the status of the 50 B-1 bombers and their nuclear warheads, and the reports that the Turkish government is intentionally depriving U.S. personnel of commercial power. Security concerns surrounding Incirlik Air Base have steadily increased over the last year. At the end of March the Pentagon ordered nearly 700 spouses and children to evacuate, and in June, Thaddeus Borowicz, a U.S. civilian contractor who worked at the base, was found dead outside his home in nearby Adana - approximately 65 miles from the Syrian border. ISIS later claimed responsibility for the killing.

After the Coup, Turkey Turns Against America

http://www.economist.com  Posted 2016-07-19 00:03 GMT

Since the 1960s, whenever Turkey's meddlesome generals have seized power, Turks have accused America of being responsible. After the botched coup attempt on July 15th by a cabal of mid-ranking generals and junior officers, the old reflex appeared again. Turkey's labour minister, Suleyman Soylu, declared that America was behind the attempt to overthrow the country's Islamist president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. (He vaguely cited the "activities" of unnamed American magazines as proof.) Pro-government media outlets teemed with conspiracy theories. In a column in Yeni Safak, a daily newspaper, Aydin Unal, an MP from Mr Erdogan's Justice and Development party (AK), suggested that American army officers took part in the fighting. In previous decades such rants could be shrugged off. But this time they are part of an increasingly severe diplomatic crisis. The reaction from John Kerry, America's secretary of state, was uncharacteristically stiff. In a phone call to his Turkish opposite number, Mevlut Cavusoglu, on July 16th Mr Kerry said insinuations that America had played any role in the coup were "utterly false and harmful to our bilateral relations". Speaking to an American news channel the following day, Mr Kerry warned Mr Erdogan against using the coup as an excuse to clamp down on his opponents. A wide-ranging purge, Mr Kerry said, "would be a great challenge to his relationship to Europe, to NATO and to all of us". AK is not heeding his advice. More than 7,000 people have been detained and thousands of judges and other bureaucrats purged. At least 11 online news portals associated with the opposition have been shut down. But the biggest source of friction is the presence in America of Fethullah Gulen, a cleric who leads a secretive Muslim sect, and whom the Turkish government accuses of masterminding the failed putsch. Since 1999 Mr Gulen has been living in self-imposed exile in rural Pennsylvania. For years, Mr Erdogan has accused the imam, a former ally in his battle to declaw the army, of seeking to topple his government. The Turks demand that America hand him over. Yet Turkey has not formally requested Mr Gulen's extradition; the file, over 1,000 pages long, has yet to be fully translated into English. Western diplomats reckon it will be padded with outlandish, conspiratorial claims, and that federal prosecutors will throw it out. Mr Erdogan would probably ramp up his anti-American rhetoric in response. Turkey's prime minister, Binali Yildirim, has already warned that requiring "evidence" before booting out Mr Gulen would call America's friendship with Turkey into doubt. That would be nothing new. Relations with America have seesawed ever since 1952, when Turkey became NATO's first mainly Muslim member. Back then, Turkey was prized as an ally against the Soviet Union. Today it is seen as a buffer between Europe and the Middle East, with its homicidal jihadists and millions of Syrian refugees. And continued access to Turkey's Incirlik air-base is vital to the American-led war effort against Islamic State (IS). Some Western officials worry that Turkey will seal off the base if America refuses to hand over Mr Gulen. Turkey's relations with America were already strained by America's support for the Syrian Kurdish militia groups known as the People's Protection Units (YPG). The YPG are widely seen as the most effective force fighting IS in Syria, but they are closely linked to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), an outlawed guerrilla movement that has been fighting the Turkish state for decades in the name of Kurdish autonomy, and has carried out numerous terrorist attacks. Turkey views the YPG as terrorists too, and has repeatedly asked America to ditch them, only to be snubbed each time. From the American perspective, Turkey has never been fully committed to the war against Islamist groups in Syria. For years, the Americans have pressed Turkey to do more to stop jihadist fighters slipping in and out of Syria to join up with (or carry out missions for) IS and other Islamist groups. It is in Turkey's own interest to do so. IS has carried out several big terror attacks inside Turkey, including the suicide-bombing in June of Istanbul's Ataturk airport. Few doubt it will strike again. Ash Carter, America's defence secretary, makes no secret of his distaste for Turkey's president. Calls to replace Incirlik with a base elsewhere in the region are growing louder in America's Congress. Meanwhile, Mr Gulen may threaten Turkish stability, but nothing like as seriously as the jihadists both inside and outside the country. Turkey needs friendship with America more than ever. Instead, in a paroxysm of post-coup paranoia, Mr Erdogan is putting the entire alliance at risk.

The Hydrogen Bombs in Turkey

By Eric Schlosser http://www.newyorker.com  Posted 2016-07-19 00:01 GMT

Among the many questions still unanswered following Friday's coup attempt in Turkey is one that has national-security implications for the United States and for the rest of the world: How secure are the American hydrogen bombs stored at a Turkish airbase? The Incirlik Airbase, in southeast Turkey, houses nato's largest nuclear-weapons storage facility. On Saturday morning, the American Embassy in Ankara issued an "Emergency Message for U.S. Citizens," warning that power had been cut to Incirlik and that "local authorities are denying movements on to and off of" the base. Incirlik was forced to rely on backup generators; U.S. Air Force planes stationed there were prohibited from taking off or landing; and the security-threat level was raised to fpcon Delta, the highest state of alert, declared when a terrorist attack has occurred or may be imminent. On Sunday, the base commander, General Bekir Ercan Van, and nine other Turkish officers at Incirlik were detained for allegedly supporting the coup. As of this writing, American flights have resumed at the base, but the power is still cut off. According to Hans M. Kristensen, the director of the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists, underground vaults at Incirlik hold about fifty B-61 hydrogen bombs--more than twenty-five per cent of the nuclear weapons in the nato stockpile. The nuclear yield of the B-61 can be adjusted to suit a particular mission. The bomb that destroyed Hiroshima had an explosive force equivalent to about fifteen kilotons of TNT. In comparison, the "dial-a-yield" of the B-61 bombs at Incirlik can be adjusted from 0.3 kilotons to as many as a hundred and seventy kilotons. Incirlik was built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the wake of the Second World War; when Turkey joined nato, in 1952, it became a crucial American base during the Cold War. With a flight time of about an hour to the Soviet Union, the base hosted American fighters, bombers, tankers, and U-2 spy planes. And, like many nato bases, it stored American nuclear weapons. nato strategy was dependent on nuclear weapons as a counterbalance to the perceived superiority of Soviet conventional forces. The threat of a nuclear attack, it was assumed, would deter Soviet tanks from rolling into nato territory. And granting nato countries access to nuclear weapons would strengthen the alliance, providing tangible evidence that the United States would risk a nuclear war for nato's defense. By the mid-nineteen-sixties, more than seven thousand American nuclear weapons were deployed in Western Europe, Greece, and Turkey. They came in all sizes, shapes, and yields: nuclear warheads, bombs, land mines, depth charges, artillery shells, even small nuclear projectiles that could be fired from a recoilless rifle. The weapons were technically in the custody of U.S. officers, ready to be handed over for use in wartime by nato personnel. But custody of the weapons was not the same as control of them. A delegation of U.S. senators visiting Europe in 1960 was shocked to find hydrogen bombs loaded onto German planes that were on alert and crewed by German pilots; thermonuclear warheads atop missiles manned by Italian crews; nuclear weapons guarded and transported by "non-Americans with non-American vehicles." The theft or use of these weapons by nato allies became a grave concern. "The prime loyalty of the guards, of course, is to their own nation, and not to the U.S.," the Senate delegation warned in a classified report. Two years later, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara worried that Turkish officers might try to fire some of nato's nuclear missiles at the Soviet Union without permission--and ordered American custodians to sabotage the missiles, somehow, if anyone tried to launch them. Coded switches were subsequently placed inside nato's hydrogen bombs. These switches, known as Permissive Action Links (pals), were designed to hinder unauthorized use of the weapons; the bombs wouldn't detonate if the operator didn't enter the right code. But pals could be circumvented by someone with the proper technical skills. When two nato allies, Greece and Turkey, were on the cusp of war in 1974, the United States secretly removed all of nato's nuclear weapons from Greece and cut the arming wires of every nuclear weapon stored in Turkey, rendering them inoperable. Thanks largely to stockpile reductions during the Administrations of President George H. W. Bush and President George W. Bush, the United States now has about a hundred and eighty nuclear weapons deployed with nato, all of them B-61 bombs. In addition to Incirlik, the weapons are stored at bases in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Italy. Today, the symbolism of these bombs is far more important than their military utility; missiles carrying nuclear warheads reach targets much faster, more reliably, and with much greater accuracy. The advocates of retaining nuclear weapons in nato argue that the B-61 bombs demonstrate America's enduring commitment to the alliance, intimidate Russia, and discourage nato members from developing their own hydrogen bombs. Opponents of the weapons, like Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the German foreign minister, consider them "absolutely senseless"--and an inviting target for terrorists. With a few hours and the right tools and training, you could open one of nato's nuclear-weapons storage vaults, remove a weapon, and bypass the pal inside it. Within seconds, you could place an explosive device on top of a storage vault, destroy the weapon, and release a lethal radioactive cloud. nato's hydrogen bombs are still guarded by the troops of their host countries. In 2010, peace activists climbed over a fence at the Kleine Brogel Airbase, in Belgium, cut through a second fence, entered a hardened shelter containing nuclear-weapon vaults, placed anti-nuclear stickers on the walls, wandered the base for an hour, and posted a video of the intrusion on YouTube. The video showed that the Belgian soldier who finally confronted them was carrying an unloaded rifle. Security concerns at Incirlik Airbase recently prompted a major upgrade of the perimeter fence that surrounds its nuclear-weapons storage area. Incirlik is about seventy miles from the Syrian border, and since last October American aircraft and drones based there have been attacking isis forces. Its proximity to rebel-controlled areas in Syria and the rash of terrorist acts in Turkey led the Pentagon, a few months ago, to issue an "ordered departure" of all the family members of American troops at Incirlik. They were asked to leave immediately. About two thousand U.S. military personnel remain stationed there. Although Incirlik probably has more nuclear weapons than any other nato base, it does not have any American or Turkish aircraft equipped to deliver them. The bombs simply sit at the base, underground, waiting to be used or misused.

Mystery of 14 Turkish navy ships 'still missing' after failed coup and a commander who has not been seen in four days

Fourteen navy ships are reportedly missing following the Turkey coup

They have failed to return to their ports and could be headed to Greece

Commander of the navy Admiral Veysel Kosele also remains missing

By Jennifer Newton for MailOnline Published: 03:48 EST, 19 July 2016 | Updated: 15:44 EST, 19 July 2016

More than a dozen Turkish navy ships are reportedly still at sea and remain unaccounted for following the botched military coup. The commander of the Turkish navy Admiral Veysel Kosele also remains missing, having been out of contact since Friday evening. It is unclear if he was part of the coup attempt or if he is being held against his will after local media reports said he was tricked into boarding one of the missing ships after being told there was a terrorist attack. According to the Times, the 14 missing ships were on active duty in either the Aegean or Black Sea on Friday. They have failed to return to their ports even though they are likely to be traceable through radar on satellite. It has prompted speculation that the ships may be on their way to Greek ports where the sailors will attempt to seek asylum. The Turkish government refused to comment on the but told the newspaper: 'We assess that there are sleeper cells that might try to hijack helicopters or engage in other violent acts against peaceful demonstrators and government buildings.' Meanwhile eight other military personnel who flew a helicopter to Greece amid the coup have tried to claim asylum in the country. Today they will appear before immigration authorities for interviews on their applications. The eight were being interviewed today near the north-eastern city of Alexandroupolis. One of their lawyers has said they deny involvement in Friday's attempted coup in Turkey, saying the helicopter had been used to transport wounded and had come under fire from police, at which point they fled fearing for their lives. Turkey is seeking their return and Greece has said their asylum applications must be examined under international law, but the fact that they are accused of participating in a coup would be taken into account. The eight face trial on Thursday for illegal entry into Greece. Meanwhile the former Turkish air force chief Akin Ozturk has confessed to prosecutors his role in plotting the coup that attempted to topple the government over the weekend, the state-run Anadolu Agency reports. General Ozturk was quoted as having told interrogators that he 'acted with intention to stage a coup'. Earlier today officials accused of masterminding the uprising, including Ozturk, were paraded on camera with their hands bound and ordered to give their name and rank before being taken to be interrogated. Photographs appeared to show several injuries to Gen Ozturk's head and upper body. More than 200 people were killed after a faction in the military launched the coup attempt on Friday night, sealing off a bridge across the Bosphorus, trying to capture Istanbul's main airport and sending tanks to parliament in Ankara. General Ozturk had earlier denied any involvement in the coup attempt and insisted he worked to stop it. Turkish president Tayyip Erdogan faced down the coup bid late on Friday by elements in the military disgruntled with his 13-year rule. However, a a US-based Turkish cleric accused of plotting the coup to overthrow the Ankara government has said President Erdogan staged the rebellion himself to justify a major clampdown on opposition forces.

This Video Shows How Easily Millions Will Be Led Like Sheep To The Slaughter - The FEMA Camps Are Waiting

July 17, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

Will millions of Americans soon follow 'Pokemon Go' to 'death's door'? As we told you in a story only days ago, the CIA's new creation the 'Pokemon Go' App is captivating the nation. Showing us just how easily the masses of American zombies will be led to slaughter, the videos and stories we've linked to within this story help to prove that virtual mind control can have very real life-or-death consequences. Not only are the zombified masses eating this all up, we can clearly see why many Americans are so easily and totally controlled and likely have no chance what-so-ever to survive once things completely fall apart. We learn here that 'Pokemon Go' has already led Americans playing the game to fall off a cliff and as Steve Quayle recently warned us of in linking to a story about 'Pokemon Go' on his website, this 'game' has become the virtual world equivalent of the 'pied piper of perdition'. Back on June 4th we warned you that Obama's White House had unveiled a 'FEMA camp' app to help people find their nearest FEMA camp in case of a disaster. 'Pokemon Go' is a FEMA camp app on steroids, and completely stealthy as long as 'the controllers' have their way. Just take a look in the 1st video below of what happens in America when a 'rare Pokemon' shows up in a park. 'Pokemon Go' may very well be the NWO's tool that leads mindless Americans straight to the FEMA camps to be slaughtered. Below this video we show you absolute proof that the 'Pokemon TV show' has already been used as 'inspiration' by the US and Russian militaries for a 'zombie gun'. What else don't we know? As we hear in the 2nd and 3rd videos below, we're likely just seeing the tip of the 'Pokemon-mind-control-iceberg'. First, let's watch some Pokemon-madness. I can't imagine that any ANP reader would fall for this but look how many hundreds do. Would these same people follow 'Pokemon Go' to death's door? This 2012 story from Infowars is called "How An Episode Of Pokemon Inspired The US And Russian Militaries To Create 'Zombie Guns'" and in it we learned that back in 1998, top military brass planned on creating weapons non-lethal weapons that would 'zombify' anyone within hundreds of meters. Yes, the US military actually used a 1997 Pokemon show as their inspiration for this 'zombie weapon'. We're also told that the incident described below is a 'very visible example of how the human brain can be manipulated and how consciousness can be altered on a mass scale'. If this was in the works way back in 1997, what else do they have planned now, nearly 20 years later? We've clearly only seen the iceberg tip. In 1997, an episode of the popular “Pokémon” cartoon caused almost 700 japanese viewers, most of whom were children, to experience a vast range of ailments from blurred vision, dizziness and nausea to hyperventilation, convulsions and even seizures and cases of temporary blindness. The severe reactions were caused by a virtual explosion scene that flashed red and blue light on the screen at just the right frequency to effect the brain and trigger a photosensitive reaction. In a follow up study, it was revealed that close to a quarter of those affected by it experienced at least one more convulsion in the five years following the broadcast of the episode. The incident served as a reminder that visual stimuli such as flashing lights and whirling circles can cause altered consciousness. It is believed that around 1 in 4,000 people are susceptible to seizures induced by such visuals, however, the number of people affected by this Pokémon episode caused some to question those figures. From a 2012 story from Wired about the US Army's 'seizure gun' that could almost instantly turn people in mindless zombies that took its inspiration from a Pokemon episode.: In 1998, a secret Army intelligence analysis suggested a new way to take out enemies: blast them with electromagnetic energy until their brains overload and they start to convulse. Amazingly, it was an idea inspired by a Pokemon episode. Application of “electromagnetic pulses” could force neurons to all fire at once, causing a “disruption of voluntary muscle control,” reads a description of a proposed seizure weapon, contained in a declassified document from the Army’s National Ground Intelligence Center. “It is thought by using a method that would actually trigger nerve synapses directly with an electrical field, essentially 100% of individuals would be susceptible to seizure induction.” We also know for a fact that government has been preparing for a 'zombie apocalypse' and as we hear in the next video below, our videographer clearly shows us how this devilish app could be used to lead Americans straight into FEMA camps or much worse. As the video above proved to us, if a rare pokemon is around, people will go crazy over it. Has the NWO secretly slipped a phone app into the hands of hundreds of millions of Americans that could quickly lead them to their final resting place? Is the 'round-up' ready to commence here in America? In the final video below we hear from another videographer who shows us why 'Pokemon Go' is 'massive mind control' being carried out against the totally clueless American sheeple who'll quite obviously continue to be led like sheeps to their slaughter. The story title from the York Daily Record is "Pokemon Go Brings People Outside To Play". Keep in mind, the majority of these people aren't children playing a game but 'adults'. We also see below that criminals are using this App to lure victims to deserted places. Might ISIS use it to lure Americans to their deaths? What has happened to America? One very good answer comes to us from the Eric Barger Ministries 'Pokemon' story that Steve Quayle linked to a few days ago.: Most players have no biblical understanding of just what they may be embracing. That's expected in the secular world. But many Christians seem to have a problem with just jumping in the pool before checking to see if there are sharks present! Pokémon Go was developed by Niantic Inc. and is funded by Nintendo. However, the original Pokémon franchise was developed by Wizards of the Coast, who gave the world the occult games, DUNGEONS & DRAGONS and MAGIC THE GATHERING. Pokémon comes from a long line of anti-Christian, occult, and evolutionary development. For example, did you know that the very word Pokémon means "pocket monster" - i.e. "demon?" Armed robbers in Missouri used the app to lure victims to isolated locations, police said. Others have been injured chasing the imaginary characters without paying attention to their real-life surroundings. Stores and malls are reporting a marked increase of foot traffic and a unique security issue because of the game. Kids and adults on a quest to capture the virtual Pokémon creatures are so intense that they sometimes stumble down stairs, knock down other patrons, and even end up behind store counters or in offices marked "employees only." If Pokémon Go had arrived on the scene just a few months ago then reports of men being found in women's rest rooms would probably be surfacing but now that's a sad accepted practice in a culture resembling ancient Sodom! It's become clear that in the technological day and age we're now living in, Americans are being controlled like never before. Will enough Americans awaken to the forces that are controlling the masses to prevent genocide in America? For those who continue to mindlessly play games, not paying any attention to where they are being led, the FEMA camps are staffed and waiting.

Only Trump Stands Between You and Utter Destruction

By Dave Hodges

This past Sunday, I separately interviewed Dr. Ted Broer, Bob Griswold and Paul Martin and they all said the same thing. With regard to pulling the plug on America and installing martial law, we all felt all the necessary requirements are in place. The only thing that is missing is a trigger event and right now, we are in the middle of a possible trigger event, the GOP Convention. The momentum of the globalists attempt to create a race war has carried this negative Toinette into the convention. The Democratic Convention, another potential powder-keg is mere weeks away. Both in my lifetime and especially the 10 years that I have been on radio and the 12 years I have been writing, I have never seen America in such a desperate condition. When I choose to write an article, I have asked what the Lord would have me do. My responsibility has greatly increased because this month, the readership on my website is up 35-40%. We are experiencing a phenomenal growth among first-time visitors to The Common Sense Show. This means that hundreds of thousands of people are new to our movement. Thanks to Donald Trump and the continuing efforts of the fine people in the Independent Media, millions of previously brainwashed Americans, who only a year ago would have called people like me the neurolinguistic term, “Fear Monger”, are waking up. However, millions of Americans do not have the professional or contextual background to fully understand the dangers that they face because America is beginning to say, enough is enough! However, there is extreme danger ahead. In the worst case scenario, we will die the planned eugenics death planned for by the globalists as they have called for the destruction of 90% of humanity (i.e. Ted Turner 1997 interview). Subsequently, with the new influx of readers and curiosity seekers, I feel that the Lord is calling me, at least for some of my articles, to go back and start at the beginning and explain the dangers of the fight, to our new comrades in arms, and clearly lay out what we are up against. The Promise of a Trump Presidency Detroit is America’s first Third World city, but certainly not the last. This is the symbol and lasting image of what all of America will look like under a Clinton Presidency! In the 1960’s, Detroit had the highest standard of living in North America and then came globalization. Detroit went from a prosperous city of 2 million people to 70o,000 people where entire neighborhoods are being torn down. Houses in some neighborhoods are for sale for $1. It is the symbol of the globalist evil intention for this country. Detroit should be the symbol for what we are fighting for. The Plundering of America For over a century, our country has been plundered by a group of minions representing international banking. In modern times, these criminal thugs that we call the New World Order have stolen trillions of dollars from America and its previously ignorant middle class. In modern times, the big culprit and threat to America are the free trade agreements. This has caused the flight of middle class jobs to third world countries which has led to the loss of millions of jobs and the destruction of Detroit and to a lesser degree Baltimore, Washington DC, St. Louis, Cleveland Chicago and dozens of other American communities. The free trade agreements are national suicide, but millions of America don’t see threat until it is too late and they lose their job. The destruction of America is deliberate because there can be no New World Order unless America, her Constitution, her base of wealth and her civil liberties are destroyed. The resources must be gone as well because if America retained some of its wealth, it would find a way to rebuild. The other major threat, among the many, has to do with illegal immigration. America is the product of immigrants. However, Americans at Ellis Island processed, in an orderly fashion, 13 million immigrants without the use of computers. Today, we have Jihadis coming into the country along side of people from Central America. Most of the Central Americans are looking for a better life. The Jihadi’ss are looking to end lives, American lives! Every President and Congress since the days of JFK have put this country at risk by failing to properly deal with the immigration threat. Even the corrupt FBI director, Comey, has said that there are a 1000 active ISIS investigations in the United States and still our leaders want more Muslims from regions of terror to be admitted to the country while we continue to not screen them. These new immigrants are receiving benefits that they do not deserve, namely, welfare, social security and free medical. And according to the FBI formula, a minimum of 10% are radicalized and willing to commit acts of terrorism against America and her citizens. Illegal immigration cuts away at the wage structure of the working class and is even reaching into the middle class. We spend billions of dollars each year to tale care of these people. Nobody took care of my father’s immigrant family. These illegal immigrants are given FREE health care while American citizens are laboring under the growing holocaust that is Obamacare. Donald Trump is promising to stop these transgressions, national security threats and destruction of our American lives. And finally, our culture is under attack. The guardians of our society, the police, are targets of globalist created organizations (i.e. George Soros) Black Lives Matter. Don’t let the title fool you, BLM is not about helping black people. In my former role as a college basketball coach, I helped more young black males advance their lives than Black Lives Matter. Unlike George Soros, that only wants to exploit this group for the gain and profit of the New World Order, I loved, cared about and helped the quality young black men that I had the pleasure of working with. It breaks my heart to see so many being taught that hate and violence is the answer. Five years ago, did you ever think you would live in an America in which many of the residents thought that assassinating police officers was a good idea? Twenty years ago, did you believe that the President of this nation would bail out Goldman Sachs while they let Detroit die? It is ironic that we now have a President who thinks that the random and statistically rare cases of police brutality outweighs the theft of an entire generation of young black males with regard to their futures? What has Obama done about black poverty in our inner cities? Under his leadership, the murder rate of young black men has become the number cause of death for the demographic of black males 18-30. Yes, black lives do matter, but we do nothing for these young people except to enact national policies that plunder any semblance of opportunity in our inner cities. And it is ironic that the greatest offender and obstacle to a life of opportunity for young black males, is black himself. Obama has not only committed treason against his country, he has betrayed the welfare of his own race. The Hope of Donald Trump Donald Trump offers hope to a nation that is slipping under the surface of the water for the third time. He wants to tax corporate profits 35% when they are shipped back into the country after the exodus from the country in the name of cheap labor. Under his plan, jobs will return to America. This will indeed help our economically deprived underclass of youth from minority cultures. Donald Trump a racist? Trump’s intention to get rid of free trade agreements, makes him the savior of every poor black and Latino child in America. Trump has a plan to stem the tide of illegal immigration. He will make immigration orderly and begin to rid America of the national security threats posed by unchecked and unscreened Middle Eastern immigration that has led to a thousand open cases of ISIS investigations within this country. The Globalists Will Not Bend to the Will of the People You need to understand that the globalists are not going to give up their ill-gotten gains without a civil war (which is what we are seeing the beginning of now), or without out a major war. They will not hesitate to kill billions to get their way. All across the planet, people are frightened. Many in the know understand that we living through humanity’s last chance to survive. Today, I am being interviewed for the second time in three days by foreign media. Today’s interview is originating out of Serbia. These journalists found me on my website. They are concerned. Europe’s future is America’s future and what we are witnessing with the Trump campaign is becoming a global phenomenon. If this were a baseball game, we would say that this is game 7 and the home team is losing. In this age of pending economic collapse, and in the early stages of a race war, and with the unknown future false flag events planned, Americans are in a very precarious situation. Conclusion I want to save lives. I want to save souls in the name of Jesus. I don’t know if God will use Trump to push back the coming of the anti-Christ. However, I know that without Trump, the tribulation cannot be far away. Therefore, I have to support Trump. If you are beginning to see how the lives of your family are at risk, you need to make it your mission to support the Trump campaign. You need to become a missionary of truth. You need to be willing to endure terrible insults. You will encounter these asleep and programmed sheep. You need to keep spreading. The next 11 weeks will determine for millions of you whether or not you will spend your last days in a FEMA camp. Many of you who are reading these words cannot comprehend what I just wrote. However, through the course of this week, I am going to spell out the dangers of inaction by showing you the documented proof of what the globalists who have hijacked our government have planned for you. Until my next installment in this series, I would encourage all of you to remain in prayer and ask for the Lord’s discernment so you can determine your best course of action. I promise to pull no punches in my efforts to fully identify the threats that are already in our face. For those who cannot accept the stress of waiting for this coming series to conclude, I would encourage you to read Steve Quayle’s book Xenogensis. It tells you in no uncertain terms where this is all headed and what our world will look like if we fail to collectively act.

A Coming Attraction From a Future Article In This Series “Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order [referring to the 1991 LA Riot]. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond [i.e., an “extraterrestrial” invasion], whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government.”

Black Pastors Leader: Obama Has ‘Fostered a Lawless Society’

by Dr. Susan Berry18 Jul 2016

The leader of a coalition of black pastors says the political rhetoric of President Barack Obama and his administration has caused division in America and has “fostered a lawless society.” Rev. William Owens, President of the Coalition of African American Pastors (CAAP) tells Breitbart News the ambush attack of police officers in Baton Rouge “should not happen in America.” “Obama and his administration have caused division in our nation and have fostered a lawless society,” he asserts. “The divide that we are witnessing didn’t just start,” he explains. “We have a president who has divided us as a nation with his political rhetoric. In America, gays are divided against straight people, rich against poor, women against men, blacks against whites, black lives matter against police – which our president promotes.” Owens continues: In Baton Rouge six police officers were ambushed and three are now dead for simply doing their jobs. This should not happen in America. The attacks on police officers are terrible acts, which CAAP utterly condemns. To have taken up arms against police officers is an evil that will only bring more violence, hatred, and division upon us. If we don’t act now, we will be destroyed from within. Owens and his coalition are urging pastors and African American leaders to take a more active role in healing divisiveness in their local communities, especially between law enforcement and citizens. “I am deeply concerned about the lawlessness that has become commonplace in our neighborhoods,” he says. “We have a ‘spirit’ of lawlessness that has permeated every area of our civilization. President Obama opened the door with his lawless deeds by continually subverting the will of the people by using executive action to institute policies that ‘We the People’ voted against.” Owens has publicly criticized the Obama administration’s attempt to push the radical LGBT agenda onto the country and create the narrative that the campaign for same-sex marriage is the equivalent of the civil rights movement led by Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. He states: President Obama did more to push the radical LGBT agenda than he did to bring healing and unity in our communities. While I don’t blame President Obama for the mentally ill people who carry out acts of terror, I do hold him accountable for setting an example as the leader of our nation by systematically acting lawlessly himself. In addition, he has not offered consistent and solid leadership in his seven plus years as commander and chief. We don’t need any more of his speeches. We need a leader. One who is accountable to “We the People.” One who is not lawless or reckless. Owens says he is “disgusted with all of the blood shed on the streets of America.” He calls on Americans of every race, creed, culture, and background to join CAAP’s RISE network that seeks to create a new grassroots movement for faith, family, and justice. “Let’s work together to bring healing to our nation,” Owens urges. “Let’s work together to bring back law and order, respect and common decency to our beloved America.”

Mind Control: Researchers Control Multiple Drones At Once With The Human Mind

Researchers from the University of Arizona control multiple drones at the same time with the human mind, wirelessly. However, this is not the only development as of late regarding mind control and brain computer interfaces. Watch the video below to see it in action. Mind control is a dangerous field, and with the advancements in technology, mind control is no longer a fringe topic, rather it is now the focal point of a governmental project for mapping the human mind. Researchers from Arizona University have created algorithms which can control up to four drones at a single time just using their thoughts. The rise in brain-computer interfaces sets the stage for embeddable devices which will decode human thoughts and translate them into robotic actions, which is what the Arizona researchers have accomplished. The Mind Drone has countless applications but also has many consequences. The teams goal over the next couple of years is to have a hybrid team of ground vehicles, mobile robots, and aerial vehicles. An Arizona State University researcher named Panagiotis Artemiadis has come up with a way to use the human mind to control robotic drones. An operator simply has to put on a skullcap that is wired directly to a computer with 128 electrodes. Brain activity is recorded and every time the controller has a thought or moves his hand, certain areas on the computer begin to light up. Decoding human thoughts and actions gives rise to technology which can control those thoughts and actions. The mind drone is only one of several new technological advances, the machine which can read human thought is another. The University of Oregon recently released that they have developed a system that can read people’s thoughts via brain scans, and rebuild the faces they were visualizing in their heads. Plus, IARPA recently began seeking future predicting technology and algorithms which will pave the way for thought crimes. -Reconstructing Perceived and Retrieved Faces from Activity Patterns in Lateral Parietal Cortex Recent findings suggest that the contents of memory encoding and retrieval can be decoded from the angular gyrus (ANG), a subregion of posterior lateral parietal cortex. However, typical decoding approaches provide little insight into the nature of ANG content representations. Here, we tested whether complex, multidimensional stimuli (faces) could be reconstructed from ANG by predicting underlying face components from fMRI activity patterns in humans. Using an approach inspired by computer vision methods for face recognition, we applied principal component analysis to a large set of face images to generate eigenfaces. We then modeled relationships between eigenface values and patterns of fMRI activity. Activity patterns evoked by individual faces were then used to generate predicted eigenface values, which could be transformed into reconstructions of individual faces. We show that visually perceived faces were reliably reconstructed from activity patterns in occipitotemporal cortex and several lateral parietal subregions, including ANG. Subjective assessment of reconstructed faces revealed specific sources of information (e.g., affect and skin color) that were successfully reconstructed in ANG. Strikingly, we also found that a model trained on ANG activity patterns during face perception was able to successfully reconstruct an independent set of face images that were held in memory. Together, these findings provide compelling evidence that ANG forms complex, stimulus-specific representations that are reflected in activity patterns evoked during perception and remembering. – MORE The freedom to think is at stake. The thought process of the human mind is considered the most private place, but soon it will not longer be. Instead, governmental agencies will invade the thoughts of every man woman and child. Significant advances in technological developments regarding mind control and thought reading technology furthers the way towards the Biblical Mark of the Beast. Further signaling that these are the Biblical end times, prophesied in the Bible.

9 And the third Angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or on his hand,

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, yea, of the pure wine, which is poured into the cup of his wrath, and he shall be tormented in fire and brimstone before the holy Angels, and before the Lamb.

11 And the smoke of their torment shall ascend evermore: and they shall have no rest day nor night, which worship the beast and his name. Revelation 19:20

20 But the beast was taken, and with him [b]that false Prophet that wrought miracles before him, whereby he deceived them that received the beast’s mark, and them that worshipped his image. These both were alive cast into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. —

Drones are also potentially mentioned in scripture; regarding the locusts –

Revelation 9:3-10

3 And there came out of the smoke Locusts upon the earth, and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree: but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

5 And to them was commanded that they should not kill them, but that they should be vexed five months, and that their pain should be as the pain that cometh of a scorpion, when he hath stung a man.

6 Therefore in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it, and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

7 And the form of the locusts was like unto horses prepared unto the battle, and on their heads were as it were crowns, like unto gold, and their faces were like the faces of men.

8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

9 And they had habergeons, like unto habergeons of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots when many horses run unto battle.

10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails, and their power was to hurt men five months. Mind control, thought reading machines, and so on are not new ideas, in fact, they are rather old governmental projects. Such as the secret, recently declassified government program called Psychoenergetics Research. The goal of the project was to apply ESP abilities to intelligence problems, such as telepathy and remote viewing. With the government constantly dipping into the field of mind control, thought reading and future predicting technologies, humanity must begin to wonder, do they already have the technology? Brain Computer Interfaces, or BCI, is also at the focal point of another governmental project for mapping the human brain to build better machines. Recently, in January 2016, DARPA devoted $60 Million to the project for making an implantable, wideband brain-computer interface. The government is considerably interested in our thoughts, and while they claim this will benefit humanity, it will have the contrary effect. The continuity of countless research projects all focused on the human mind is paving the way for the hive mind. This is only the beginning of such technologies, and while many claim conspiracy as shown above, mind control is no conspiracy. It is, in fact, the focal point of countless research projects for the military to create some form of a super soldier, and to further control the populace under the declaration of Martial Law.

Clinton, Bush Implicated in Covering Up Saudi Terror in U.S.

The recently-declassified pages of the 9/11 report implicated both administrations, saying they ignored the Saudi network in the U.S.

By Ryan Mauro Mon, July 18, 2016

The 28 pages of the recently-declassified report on the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack not only implicated the Saudi government and its network on U.S. soil, it implicates the Clinton and Bush Administrations in covering up that network and stopping the FBI from protecting America from it.

Page 11 states: “Prior to September 11th, the FBI apparently did not focus investigative [censored]…Saudi nationals in the United States due to Saudi Arabia’s status as an American ‘ally.’…A representative of the FBI’s [censored] testified in closed hearings that, prior to September 11th, the FBI received ‘no reporting from any member of the Intelligence Community’ that there is a [censored] presence in the United States.” The censoring of the documents leaves us to wonder what specific terror-related presence the documents are referring to, but it is very clear that it is a network linked to the Saudi government and insufficient investigative resources were allotted for it because of those linkages. Repeat: A terrorist network threatening Americans was “apparently” not properly addressed because it wasn’t worth offending the government of Saudi Arabia, even though the documents say the Saudi government was, as one veteran FBI agent was quoted as saying, “useless and obstructionist” on counter-terrorism. The scandalous revelations could impact the presidential campaign because the Clinton Administration had eight years to address this Saudi network in America. The Bush Administration was in office for only 9 months, but cannot be absolved of blame. The files do not indicate that any change in direction was ordered before the attacks and it chose to classify the pages exposing the Saudis in the 2002 report. The Bush Administration also opted not to blacklist two terror-tied organizations with strong Saudi ties: Muslim World League and International Islamic Relief Organization. The former also has strong links to Huma Abedin and her family, one of the closest advisers to Hillary Clinton. Perhaps that decision has something to do with the Saudi ambassador to the U.S. at the time, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, who was so close to the Bush family that he was nicknamed “Bandar Bush.” It turns out “Bandar Bush” and his wife were up to their ears in terrorist activity. This includes the FBI finding copies of checks from February 1999 to May 2002 showing payments of $74,000 from his wife to the wife of one of the Saudi intelligence officers linked to the 9/11 hijackers for “nursing services.” As you probably assumed, the FBI found no evidence that these services were actually rendered. An unlisted phone number to the Colorado-based company that handled the affairs of “Bandar Bush” was found in the possession of Abu Zubaydah, one of the most senior Al-Qaeda leaders at the time. The documents contain much more than that to show that this “moderate” was intricately involved in the Saudi-backed jihadist network. Documents obtained by the Clarion Project show that President Bush was actually scheduled to meet with representatives from the Saudi-linked Muslim Brotherhood network on the very day of the attacks, September 11, 2001. This was the fruition of the Republican Party and Bush presidential campaign’s embrace of Islamists, many of whom belonged to the Saudi-backed Brotherhood network. The relationship continued after the 9/11 attacks, but frayed as some of those same Islamists faced investigations and prosecutions. The Saudi regime is known as one of the most prolific influence-peddlers. Former CIA case officer Robert Baer, wrote in his book Sleeping with the Devil: How Washington Sold its Soul for Saudi Crude: “Saudi money also seeped into the bureaucracy. Any Washington bureaucrat with a room-temperature IQ knows that if he stays on the right side of the kingdom, one way or another, he’ll be able to finagle his way to feed at the Saudi trough. A consulting contract with Aramco, a chair at American University, a job with Lockheed—it doesn’t matter. There’s hardly a living former assistant secretary of state for the Near East, CIA director, White House staffer, or member of Congress who hasn’t ended up on the Saudi payroll in one way or another, or so it sometimes seems. With this kind of money waiting out there, of course Washington’s bureaucrats don’t have the backbone to take on Saudi Arabia.” A search of the Foreign Agents Registration Act website shows 14 active foreign agents of Saudi Arabia, including the Podesta Group. It is led by a major Democratic Party financier who is the brother of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign manager. The group is paid $140,00 per month by the Saudis. In his Farewell Address, President George Washington repeatedly urged Americans to be on guard against this type of activity, saying “foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government.” The “spirit of party,” Washington warned, “opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.” Every American should be reminded of his words in light of the newly-released documents.

How TIDES can trigger the San Andreas fault: Researchers find earthquakes can be caused by the gravitational tug of the sun and moon

Researchers found low-frequency earthquakes more likely in waxing tides

These tides either promote or inhibit fault slip deep at the fault roots

These quakes are small often less than 1.0, and occur deep underground

By Cheyenne Macdonald For Dailymail.com

Published: 18:38 EST, 18 July 2016 | Updated: 21:05 EST, 18 July 2016

The gravitational pull of the sun and moon is tugging on Earth’s crust, causing it to stretch and compress. And in certain phases of the cycle, this can even trigger earthquakes deep underground. In a new study, researchers analysed thousands of these ‘low-frequency earthquakes’ along California’s San Andreas Fault, and found that they are more likely to occur when the tide is waxing. As the surface of the Earth rises and falls with the tides, it influences activity at the faults, either promoting or inhibiting fault slip deep at the roots. When the moon is pulling in the same direction of the slip, the effect is far more dramatic, Nicolas van der Elst, a U.S Geological Survey geophysicist and lead author of the study, explained to the L.A. Times. In the study, published recently to Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers investigated roughly 81,000 low-frequency earthquakes from 2008 to 2015 along the Parkfield section of the San Andreas Fault. These are small in magnitude, often less than 1.0, and occur between nine and 19 miles below the surface.

United Methodist Church Elects First Openly Gay Bishop, In Defiance Of Church Rules

July 16, 20161:46 PM ET

Representatives of the United Methodist Church have elected their first openly gay bishop, in defiance of church prohibitions on homosexuality. Rev. Karen Oliveto, senior pastor of Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco, was elected bishop of the church's Western Division at a conference Friday night in Scottsdale, Arizona. "I think at this moment I have a glimpse of the realm of God," 58-year-old Oliveto said after her election, according to a news story from the church. "Today we took a step closer to embody beloved community and while we may be moving there, we are not there yet. We are moving on to perfection." The United Methodist Church, which has more than 7 million members in the United States, is divided over the issue of homosexuality. "This election raises significant concerns and questions of church polity and unity," Bruce R. Ough, president of the Church's Council of Bishops, said in a statement after the vote. As Ough wrote, "we find ourselves in a place where we have never been." He highlighted the divisions on the issue: "There are those in the church who will view this election as a violation of church law and a significant step toward a split, while there are others who will celebrate the election as a milestone toward being a more inclusive church. ...Our differences are real and cannot be glossed over, but they are also reconcilable." As the Associated Press reported earlier this year, "other mainline Protestant groups, including the Episcopal Church and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), have approved same-sex marriage." In a vote in May, the United Methodist Church's top policy–making body "narrowly approved a full review of all church law on sexuality." That is happening now and is expected to take at least two years. Oliveto's election, while the church's practices are under review, garnered immediate criticism from some church members. "If the Western Jurisdiction wanted to push the church to the brink of schism, they could not have found a more certain way of doing so," Rev. Rob Renfroe, head of the evangelical organization Good News, said in the church's news story. However, as the church noted, many were celebrating – such as Wesley Hingano, who called it "a beautiful day." The church added that "his father, Rev. Sisofina Hingano, was also a candidate for bishop. When Hingano withdrew his name from the ballot, he said he was doing it so people like his son could walk through the doors to freedom in the church." Hingano said: "I want to see gay and lesbian people walk freely."

Billy Graham: Satan exists - Terrorism and racism are proof

Chiqui Guyjoco14 July, 2016

Evangelist Billy Graham said that the mere existence of terrorism or racism in this world is already enough proof that Satan exists. The world-renowned preacher shed light on Satan's nature and existence once more as Graham wrote on his column for The Kansas City Star on July 1. First off, Graham said that Satan is rightly to be feared because "he is far greater" than any human being. This alone already rules out any doubts as to the preacher's belief in Satan's existence. Graham wielded his first evidence as he recounted the Biblical story when Jesus battled with Satan. He said Satan knew that God sent his divine son, Jesus, to save His people from sin and death. For his second evidence, Graham used an example that uncomfortably resonates strongly in present times. "I also know Satan is real by looking at the world around me, and even within my own heart," he wrote. "How else can we explain terrorism, or racism, or injustice, or a hundred other examples of evil and destruction and brokenness?" He then quoted John 8:44 that revealed Satan "was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him." Graham reminded Christians to take caution from being deceived by Satan and his temptations. "Never underestimate Satan's power, and never underestimate his ability to deceive us and make us think he isn't to be feared," the 97-year-old preacher and founder of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) wrote on BGEA's website in May. homeFaith Billy Graham: Satan exists - Terrorism and racism are proof Chiqui Guyjoco14 July, 2016 Evangelist Billy Graham said that the mere existence of terrorism or racism in this world is already enough proof that Satan exists.

German train attack: IS releases video of 'Afghan knifeman'

19 July 2016

The so-called Islamic State has released a video purporting to show an Afghan asylum seeker making threats before attacking a German train. The 17-year-old injured five people with an axe and knife, one critically, in the attack in Wuerzburg on Monday evening. He was shot dead by police. In the video, a young man brandishing a knife says he is an "IS soldier" preparing for a suicide mission. German officials say they later found a hand-painted IS flag in his room. The teenager reportedly shouted the Islamic phrase "Allahu akbar" ("God is great") during the attack. The self-styled news agency of IS said he had launched the attack "in answer to the calls to target the countries of the coalition fighting the Islamic State". The attack comes days after a lorry ploughed into a crowd in Nice in France, killing 84 people. The self-styled Islamic State group said one of its followers had carried out that attack. Axe attack dominates German media How Afghan teens build a new life in Germany 'Slaughterhouse'

In the video, IS identified the attacker as Muhammad Riyad, who can be heard speaking Pashto. Joachim Herrmann, the interior minister of the state of Bavaria, said the flag had been found among the teenager's belongings in his room in his foster home in the nearby town of Ochsenfurt. A text written in Pashtun was also found, he said, and it showed a strong indication that the teenager "could be a person who had been self-radicalised". Mr Herrmann said those who had interacted with the young man in recent months described him as calm and quiet and they could not understand his actions. The teenager had gone to the mosque "on special occasions", he said, but no-one had noticed any radical behaviour and there were no signs yet of a direct link to jihadist networks.

Scientists turn old plastic bottles into fuel

By Jacopo Prisco, for CNN Updated 8:45 AM ET, Thu July 21, 2016

(CNN) Millions of tons of plastic garbage pollute our world. What if we could turn them into fuel instead? That's the ambitious plan of a team of scientists from the University of California, Irvine (UCI), and the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry (SIOC) in China. The technique involves breaking down the plastic to a molecular level to turn it into a readily usable fuel similar to diesel. The source material is the most common type of plastic, polyethylene, which is predicted to reach a global annual demand of nearly 100 million metric tons by 2018. Too much plastic Polyethylene is used to produce various types of packaging, from bags to bottles, but it doesn't degrade easily and can linger in the environment for even hundreds of years. Along with other types of plastics it pollutes waterways and oceans (one large cluster is known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch) and often gets eaten by birds and marine life. An easy system to turn used plastic into fuel could help relieve the burden on the environment of a material that loses 95% of its value after one use cycle. A clean transformation

"The process does not involve any harmful chemicals and does not create waste products," explains Zhibin Guan of the University of California, Irvine, one of the authors of the study. Devised "in light of the huge plastic pollution as well as the critical energy needs in China," the process basically melts the old plastic into liquid fuels and waxes. The technique, published along with the team's findings in the journal Science Advances, requires three additional ingredients. The first is a cheap byproduct of oil refinement, called an "alkane." The other two are catalysts, or chemical components that facilitate a chemical reaction. The goal is to break the molecules in the plastic down to their original components -- hydrogen and carbon -- to rearrange them into a usable form. "The short alkanes used in our process have very low values because they cannot be used as transportation fuels or as gases," says Zheng Huang of the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, also among the authors of the study. "Therefore, essentially, the process can transform two low-value substances -- old plastic and refinery byproducts -- into valuable fuels and waxes." Expensive ingredients Unfortunately, the other two ingredients in the recipe don't come cheap. "The iridium catalyst is relatively expensive, which requires high turnover to reduce the overall cost," says Guan. "The rhenium catalyst is also not cheap," says Huang, "To make this economically viable, the current plastic-to-catalyst ratio needs to be significantly improved." In the current trials, the plastic to catalyst ratio is 30 to 1. The researchers say it needs to increase to 10,000 to 1 or better. "Alternatively, we can make our catalyst recyclable to reduce the cost," says Huang. Currently, the catalyst is short lived and therefore needs frequent replacement. "If the catalyst activity and cost issue are addressed, the process is relatively simple and should fit smoothly within the current recycling patterns." Future potential The resulting fuel, although yet to be tested, should work with current combustion engines, the researchers say. "It's also very clean, so it should burn as cleanly as current diesel fuels, as all it contains are carbon and hydrogen atoms," says Guan. George Britovsek, a Catalysis Expert at the Imperial College London and not involved in the study, agrees on its potential: "The method devised by Huang, Guan and co-workers is a nice application of a known technique for the production of liquid fuels from waste plastic. "Its success will be determined by their ability to scale it up from grams to tons, to reduce the costs associated with the purification of the source material, to recycle the catalysts and to obtain a good end-product. If that happens, this approach may become favorable compared to the current options of recycling or burning the waste plastic."

Ted Cruz shocker! 'Vote your conscience'

Refuses to endorse Trump, gets booed by convention

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who lost the Republican nomination to Donald Trump, shocked the GOP convention Wednesday night by conspicuously refusing to endorse him in his bid against Hillary Clinton for the presidency in November. The speech was vintage Cruz in many ways – hearkening America back to freedom and the rule of law. But as the speech came to crescendo, the crowd in Cleveland began to realize he would not be endorsing Trump. Instead of saying “vote for Trump,” Cruz called on Republicans to “vote your conscience.” It was a remarkable moment in presidential nominating conventions that emphasize party unity. The development followed a rough-and-tumble campaign of charges and counter-charges between Trump and Cruz, who began the race on friendly terms and kind words. It degenerated with Trump calling Cruz “Lyin’ Ted,” and Cruz calling Trump a serial philanderer. Cruz has said he will run for president in 2020, no matter who wins the election in 2016. So angry were some at the convention, Heidi Cruz had to be escorted out of the hall by former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli. Before the speech, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie warned Cruz to keep his word and endorse the winner of the nomination as he pledged to do at the beginning of the campaign. And if the Texas senator and former GOP primary rival does not, Christie warned, he will show himself to be “less of a person than he presents himself to be for the American people.” “If you want to sign the pledge, adhere to the pledge, and I just think you’re supposed to keep your word,” Christie told CNN’s Jake Tapper during a forum hosted by the group Americans for Peace, Prosperity and Security. Christie was referring to the pledge all candidates signed last year vowing to support the eventual nominee. “To those listening, please, don’t stay home in November,” Cruz said, a plea that suggested he was about to endorse. Instead, Cruz said: “If you love our country and love your children as much as I know that you do, stand and speak and vote your conscience. Vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust to defend our freedom and to be faithful to the Constitution.” When the boos and chants of “We want Trump” began toward the end of Cruz’s speech, he offered wryly, “I appreciate the enthusiasm of the New York delegation.” At that point convention-goers, including delegates, began to boo loudly. As Cruz concluded his speech, cameras cut to Trump arriving in the arena, giving the crowd a thumbs-up. Trump later responded via Twitter: “Wow, Ted Cruz got booed off the stage, didn’t honor the pledge! I saw his speech two hours early but let him speak anyway. No big deal!” Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and a presidential candidate in 2012 followed Cruz’s speech by attempting to deflect any damage it might have caused by saying, “I’m also proud to be here to see the extra effort Donald Trump has invested in bring the Republican Party together. With no requirement for endorsement, he encouraged his competitors to speak once again. Gov. Rick Perry, Gov. Chris Christie, Gov. Scott Walker, Dr. Ben Carson, Sen. Marco Rubio and Sen. Ted Cruz have all responded to Donald Trump’s generosity.” Gingrich noted that people may have misunderstood Cruz when he said to “vote your conscience.” “I think you misunderstood one paragraph that Ted Cruz, who is a superb orator, said, and I just want to point it out to you. Ted Cruz said, ‘you can vote your conscience for anyone who will uphold the Constitution,'” Gingrich said. “In this election, there is only one candidate who will uphold the Constitution. So, to paraphrase Ted Cruz, if you want to protect the Constitution of the United States, the only possible candidate this fall is the Trump/Pence Republican ticket. That way we have a Republican ticket to implement Republican principles in Washington.”

Pride before the fall: Too many Republican candidates do not honor their pledge

By Howard J. Warner July 21, 2016

The third night of the Republican National Convention provided observers with that moment of true ethics and honor. Governor Kasich has not attended the convention and will not endorse Donald Trump. He claims to be a man of conviction, but what conviction? Or is he a sore loser? What about Governor Jeb Bush, who will not attend? Is he still upset because he was called a loser or low energy? Did he think the $100 million raised by his campaign should ensure his victory? Could they be willing to elect Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump? Would they saddle us with Supreme Court judges and federal judges appointed by Hillary Clinton? Their ethics are less conservative and constitutional than personal. Their pride will certainly help Clinton in this election. Senator Graham did not attend. At one point he planned to honor his pledge, but then he recanted. One can understand Senator McCain's and President Bush's failure to participate; but why would Governor Mitt Romney take Trump's money in 2012 but refuse to vote for him in 2016? Why would he work so hard to hurt Trump's candidacy and help Hillary? Could his pride be involved? After all, his loss in 2012 was decried by Trump. Governor Walker decided that supporting Trump is honorable. Senator Rubio managed to accept his defeat and support Trump. Senator Cruz was offered a place on the podium despite his failure to honor his pledge. He spoke glowingly of freedom and the right to choose. But he fell short +of endorsing Trump. He will likely pay a price in his future endeavors. Trump invited him to speak without an endorsement, but he was not gracious in return. His pride will certainly be remembered should Trump fail to win the presidency. He was positioning himself for 2020. Will the Trump supporters in the audience forget this slight? Could he not recognize the difference between Trump and Clinton he so eloquently elucidated in his speech? Campaigns often become contentious. Newt Gingrich provided cover for Cruz in his opening. Dr. Carson, Governor Christie, and Governor Perry were given access to the podium. Few candidates are so gracious. Today the press was given information about negotiations with Kasich for a role in the campaign. These leaks were aimed at hurting Trump's candidacy. Kasich's refusal to help organize for the election may cost the state of Ohio, necessary for Republican victory. These Republicans have put their positions ahead of their country. Gingrich clearly made the case for Trump against Clinton on national security. Why couldn't Cruz understand this imperative? Mike Pence has decided to run with Trump rather than seek re-election as Indiana governor. He must believe that Trump will win. He is conservative. He spent time in Washington and has managed a state. He is not flashy; Trump provides enough excitement for any campaign. A united Republican Party will be victorious. A divided one cannot win. Democrats unify, if only to incrementally gain their goals. Republicans have too often chosen defeat rather than compromise after a bruising battle. But Ronald Reagan said that there is no substitute for victory. He argued against the temptation to put oneself above the nation. Can these hurt egos in the Republican Party find their way to grace? Clearly Trump has faults. However, his success in business speaks volumes. His wonderful children demonstrate he has some skills. As Donald Jr. stated, he and his siblings are comfortable on a tractor and in a car. Trump works hard in his business. But contrary to Senator Warren's admonition that he values money above all else, Donald's children demonstrated that he put his children above by keeping them in the room while negotiating deals. Trump has helped give voice to the movement against the establishment. Will the establishment recognize that their time may have come to an end? Will the Republican establishment stand in the way or help reform our government and reduce the bureaucracy? In eleven weeks, we will know the answer.

US & Clinton Beyond the Law-Catherine Austin Fitts

By Greg Hunter On July 17, 2016 In Political Analysis

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (Early Sunday Release)

Financial expert and former Assistant Secretary of Housing, Catherine Austin Fitts, says the U.S. government’s actions with Hillary Clinton means it is more lawless than ever. Fitts explains, “The entire country now looks like Arkansas . . . we’ve all turned into Mena, Arkansas, now. It’s pretty tragic. I have watched for two decades while 80% of the federal budget and federal credit has been run outside the Constitution and the laws related to financial management. I have never seen anything as blatant and outrageous as Loretta Lynch, prior to Hillary Clinton’s interview with the FBI, meeting with her disbarred husband, who is either the husband of or the target of a criminal investigation, and basically briefing him, I am assuming and what I believe on what Hillary needs to know, so she can skate the (FBI) interview. What the President, Lynch and Comey don’t want is the investigative team recommending to indict. . . . If you know anything about civil or criminal procedures, this is so beyond the law. This is so over the top that I have never seen anything more outrageous. It’s beginning to look like Mena, Arkansas, during the Mena drug running.” Fitts says the corrupt way they handled Ms. Clinton is how they are handling the business of the federal government. Fitts contends, “We know the entire financial infrastructure of the government has been run as a criminal enterprise for quite some time. The government engineered the pump and dump housing market. The government was the one that let JP Morgan Chase skate on Madoff and many, many other situations. Yes, the government is being run outside of the laws related to money. That requires a double standard and a parallel universe between what you say you are doing and what you are really doing. The actual governance system is different than what the official story is, and that is the problem that you are seeing in every administration since the death of (President) Kennedy. Kennedy wasn’t doing what ‘Mr. Global’ wanted, so he was assassinated. . . . This is now a very, very deep problem. We are financially dependent on organized crime cash flows as an economy. The citizens are going to have to make up their mind if are they going to tolerate this level of corruption or not.” On the economy crashing this year, Fitts says, “Could we turn into a bear market? I think given the commitment to equity markets and given the willingness to debase the currency, I think the chances of that are relatively small this year. Next year, depending on what happens in the election, the gloves are going to come off globally about what’s been going on in the U.S. Anything could happen. That’s the danger if you are an investment advisor or an investor. The swings here is we could be up 30%, or we could be down 50%. A black swan could happen, so if you are an investor, you need to be prepared for very, very wide swings both up and down in prices in the equity markets. Here’s the important thing to remember. . . . We now have $12 trillion sitting in negative interest rates. Where’s all that money going to go? It can’t sit there getting nothing. It will have to go into real estate. It’s going to have to go into equity. It’s going to have to go to precious metals because it can’t sit there getting no or negative yields forever. . . . The debt game is over.” On gold and silver, Fitts says, “Interest rates coming down makes gold and silver more attractive. I think the number one thing driving precious metals is you’ve still got growth going on in Asia, and they are buyers. People are afraid, and they are looking at what is going on with the leadership, and they are getting scared. They want to hedge their bets, and gold and silver is where you go when you don’t trust the system.” Join Greg Hunter as he goes One-on-One with Catherine Austin Fitts, Publisher of The Solari Report at Solari.com.

Donald Trump Sets Conditions for Defending NATO Allies Against Attack

Doug Mills / The New York Times

By DAVID E. SANGER and MAGGIE HABERMAN July 20, 2016

CLEVELAND — Donald J. Trump, on the eve of accepting the Republican nomination for president, explicitly raised new questions on Wednesday about his commitment to automatically defending NATO allies if they are attacked, saying he would first look at their contributions to the alliance. Asked about Russia’s threatening activities, which have unnerved the small Baltic States that are among the more recent entrants into NATO, Mr. Trump said that if Russia attacked them, he would decide whether to come to their aid only after reviewing if those nations “have fulfilled their obligations to us.” “If they fulfill their obligations to us,” he added, “the answer is yes.” Mr. Trump’s statement appeared to be the first time that a major candidate for president had suggested conditioning the United States’ defense of its major allies. It was consistent, however, with his previous threat to withdraw American forces from Europe and Asia if those allies fail to pay more for American protection. Mr. Trump also said he would not pressure Turkey or other authoritarian allies about conducting purges of their political adversaries or cracking down on civil liberties. The United States, he said, has to “fix our own mess” before trying to alter the behavior of other nations. “I don’t think we have a right to lecture,” Mr. Trump said in a wide-ranging interview in his suite in a downtown hotel here, while keeping an eye on television broadcasts from the Republican National Convention. “Look at what is happening in our country,” he said. “How are we going to lecture when people are shooting policemen in cold blood?” (Read the full transcript.)

Expert Warns: 'World Order Fast Unraveling!' Obama's Lack Of Seriousness An Existential Threat To America

July 20, 2016Submitted To All News Pipeline by Dr. Peter Vincent Pry, the executive director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security. After the terror attack in Nice, France, that left over 80 dead, and now the attempted military coup in Turkey, there are some lessons to be learned by the White House, and liberal elites everywhere, however tardily. The world order painstakingly built by the United States and Western democracies during the Cold War and afterwards, so promising for universalizing political and economic freedom and human rights, is fast unraveling. Twenty years ago Samuel Huntington in The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order (1996) predicted that, as U.S. and Western economic and military dominance declines, rival civilizations in Russia, China, and the Middle East would challenge the West. Huntington specifically predicted that, as has been happening, Turkey would gravitate toward its cultural roots in Islam and away from the West, perhaps eventually leaving NATO. Islamic terrorism is an extreme manifestation of the clash of civilizations. Islamic terrorists are waging a world war on the West and against all who do not share their totalitarian, apocalyptic ideology. Islam is not a religion of peace for these fanatical fundamentalists. They aspire, in the 21st Century, to the violent expansion of their version of Islam by oppression and extermination of apostate Muslims, Jews, Christians and other infidels, as begun by their prophet Muhammad in the 7th Century. ISIS expects their crusade will culminate in the triumph of Islam in the secular and spiritual universe, because this is the will of God. Thus, ISIS and other Islamic terror groups offer Muslims deeply alienated by Western culture - including teenagers, migrants, and well educated engineers and doctors - a powerful but noxious ideology, as dangerous as Nazism or Communism, self-abnegation become the Jihad of the suicide bomber. Contrary to the White House, these "violent extremists" cannot be contained or defeated by police departments and the justice system. Nor is the White House correct that Islamic "violent extremists" are motivated by youth unemployment or climate change. The West is losing the war against Islamic terrorism because it fails to understand that the war is fundamentally an ideological clash of civilizations. Although the White House congratulates itself on reducing the territory under the control of ISIS in Syria and Iraq, ISIS has expanded its terror networks - and its ideology - worldwide. Not only does ISIS have tens of thousands of fighters, with recruiting on the rise, but polls show that millions of Muslims sympathize with ISIS. Under President Obama during the last eight years Islamic terror attacks in America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia have increased dramatically. In Middle Eastern culture people tend to follow "the strong horse." The U.S. and its allies look like "the weak horse" with their glacial progress in Syria and Iraq while Islamic terrorism scores high-profile victories worldwide. Terror massacres so horrify the West and transfix mass media that time and the planet seem to stand still in disbelief, at places like Fort Hood, San Bernadino, Paris, Brussels, Orlando, and now Nice. The White House seems not to comprehend that this is what losing the war looks like. Islamic terrorism is an existential threat. After the ISIS terror attack in Brussels, President Obama justified continuing his trip through South America by trivializing the threat, telling reporters on March 23, 2016; "Groups like ISIL can't destroy us, they can't defeat us . . . They're not an existential threat to us." President Obama does not seem to grasp that every time Islamic terrorists inflict another massacre - they are defeating us. The United States and Europe have suffered a string of defeats at the hands of ISIS already. The White House and most European elites are blind that their policies of uncontrolled and unassimilated immigration, and their politics exploiting differences of race and class and celebrating diversity over unity, have weakened societal cohesion and patriotism. The United States and Europe of today are more fragile internally than the West that defeated Nazi Germany, won the Cold War, and avenged the 9/11 terror attacks. The White House appears to want the American people to accept terror attacks like Orlando and Nice as "the new normal." But such a policy itself is an existential threat to our increasingly fractured society. In America and Europe, the people are losing confidence in the honesty of government and in its basic competence to solve problems. France's Patrick Calvar, Director of DGSI (Homeland Security), has warned repeatedly, including on July 12th: "One or two more terrorist attacks and we may well see a civil war." ISIS could pose an existential threat by buying nuclear or biological weapons from North Korea, or being given them by Iran. A recent New York Times article "Grid Attack: How America Could Go Dark" reaffirms warnings by experts that terrorists could easily inflict a protracted catastrophic blackout on the U.S. by sabotaging the electric grid. President Obama's failure to destroy ISIS in Syria and Iraq, and his absurd advocacy of gun control as a solution to Islamic terrorism, is consistent with his dangerously uninformed belief that ISIS is not an existential threat. Such a lack of seriousness is an existential threat. Peter Vincent Pry is executive director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security. He served in the Congressional EMP Commission, the Congressional Strategic Posture Commission, the House Armed Services Committee, and the CIA. He is author of "Blackout Wars."

What Will Happen First, An Economic Collapse or World War 3? And How to Preparing for This

Posted on July 21, 2016 Written by Amy S.

The Collapse is Approaching

The question I am most often asked is “If what you’re saying is true, it’s obvious that I need to do something to protect myself and my family, but I don’t know where to start. Can you help?” Sadly most people are woefully unprepared for the inevitable terrorist attacks, natural disasters, and other disruptions that are planned for our daily lives. Our government tells us VIRTUALLY NOTHING about what we can do to protect ourselves. And make no mistake about it, there’s plenty we can do — We don’t have to be sitting ducks! As JFK once said, “The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.” So, as the storm clouds start brewing all around us, let’s make sure the roof is in order, before it’s too late. Your number one resource when the planned cataclysmic events start taking place is your knowledge – and that’s knowledge gained over months or years of learning to think how to live primarily independent of the system. Whatever you do, don’t rely on your government to save you. Even though Barack Obama is on track to be the first president in all of U.S. history to not have a single year when the U.S. economy grew by 3 percent or better, many have still been mystified by the fact that the economy has been relatively stable in recent years. But the explanation is rather simple, actually. Anyone can live like a millionaire if the credit card companies will lend them enough money. You could even do it yourself. Just go out and apply for as many credit cards as possible and then spend money like there is no tomorrow. In no time at all, you will be living the high life. Of course many of you would immediately object that a day of reckoning would come eventually, and you would be right. Just like for those that abuse credit cards, a financial day of reckoning is coming for America too. In the United States today, our standard of living is being massively inflated by taking trillions of dollars of future consumption and moving it into the present. The politicians love to do this because it makes them look good and they can take credit for an “economic recovery”, but what we are doing to our children and our grandchildren is beyond criminal. On average, we are stealing more than 100 million dollars from future generations of Americans every single hour of every single day. We are complete and utter pigs, and yet most Americans don’t see anything wrong with what we are doing. At this point, our national debt is more than 30 times larger than it was just 40 years ago, and many (including myself) have argued that it is now mathematically impossible for the U.S. government to ever pay off all of this debt. The only thing that we can do now is to keep the party going for as long as possible until the day of reckoning inevitably comes. Under Obama, our national debt will come close to doubling. What that means is that during Obama’s eight years we will accumulate almost as much debt as we did under all of the other presidents in U.S. history combined. Right now, the U.S. government is responsible for about a third of all the government debt in the entire world. Fortunately the financial world continues to lend us gigantic mountains of money at ridiculously low interest rates, but if that were to ever change we would be in an enormous amount of trouble very rapidly. For instance, if the average rate of interest on U.S. government debt simply returns to the long-term average, we would very quickly find ourselves spending more than a trillion dollars a year just in interest on the national debt. And as the Baby Boomers age, our “unfunded liabilities” threaten to absolutely swamp us. By the year 2025, it is being projected that “mandatory” federal spending on “unfunded liabilities” such as Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare plus interest on the national debt will exceed total federal revenue. What that means is that we will spend every penny we bring in before a single dollar is spent on the military, homeland security, paying federal workers, building roads and bridges, etc. In recent years the Federal Reserve has also had a “buy now, pay later” mentality. While Obama has been in the White House, the size of the Fed balance sheet has grown by about two and a half trillion dollars. The goal has been to artificially pump up the economy, but when the Federal Reserve creates money out of thin air it is actually a tax on all of us. The purchasing power of every dollar that we will spend in the future has been diminished thanks to the Fed, but most Americans don’t understand this. Prepping for a lawless society tudies have clearly shown that once a SHTF event occurs, you have two to three days to get to where you ultimately want to hunker down. After that, travel becomes extremely dangerous and it is unlikely you will reach your final destination. highways will become kill zones targeted by the bad guys. To a gang of armed looters who forgot to prepare or plan ahead before the event, there is not a better target than an RV loaded down with stored food, ammo, and gold. f you cannot afford a retreat cabin of some sort, there are things you can do to hunker down in your own home… first, you need to stock up and find a way to defend it. Like-minded friends and neighbors can be a huge support network — as long as they have prepared as well. In order to be fully prepared for what is to come it’s important to think about what you will need. You’re going to need a lot of equipment and tools but a lot of basic things as well. The reason for this is when the entire world starts changing you never know what’s going to be hard to find. You may not be able to get water, food or even basic hygiene products. So take some time to look over this list and make sure you’re ready for what’s to come. ELATED : A NEW WORLD OF FEAR AND CONTROL – WAR IS COMING TO THE EARTH World War 3 Could be Imminent! Conflict with the likes of Russia or China was something that seemed buried with the end of the Cold War. Yet today’s simmering tensions mean there is a risk of such an outcome becoming all too real. As in the past, it is perfectly possible that a third world war could start with a small event, or even by accident. One of the many Russian bomber planes now probing NATO’s borders could collide with an RAF Typhoon, prompting an aerial skirmish the likes of which the world has not seen for decades. Indeed, the skies over Syria are starting to get dangerously crowded, with Russian jets flying near US planes on bombing runs, and sparring with NATO air defenses in neighboring Turkey. Admittedly, such a conflict is neither wanted nor inevitable; a third world war would be an epic failure of deterrence and diplomacy. But the possibility means we must weigh our calculations in a way that we haven’t for decades. Too many leaders and thinkers mimic their counterparts of a century ago, who thought that trade and progress had somehow made the risk of war between states obsolete. In turn, too many military officers take the opposite tack of mimicking their historic counterparts and being unduly optimistic about such a fight if it were to happen, using words such as “short and sharp”. . ‘Doomsday’ predictions of all life on Earth being exterminated are probably over-stating the impact of nuclear weapons – but it would have a huge impact on life on our planet. Large-scale nuclear war could devastate the entire world. In 1979, the U.S. Congress’s Office of Technology published a report called The Effects of War, which envisaged the impact of an all-out nuclear attack. The consequences would be disastrous – with hundreds of millions of people dead, and more facing cancer and radiation sickness. The OTA envisaged up to 80% of the population of the U.S. being killed immediately, with further casualties from radiation. Hydrogen bombs could devastate entire cities. Nearly six million people dead, homes flattened and millions more poisoned by a huge plume of radioactive poison which would spread for 130 miles. An app by Alex Wellerstein at the Stevens Institute of Technology, Nuke Map, shows what could happen if the largest Soviet hydrogen bomb ever detonated was dropped on London. Destruction would spread from Horsham in the South to Luton in the north – and casualties would spiral after the initial blast killed and injured nearly 10 million people. A serious nuclear conflict would also leave the world far worse off than depicted. . This is true, but both the historic trading patterns between great powers before each of the last world wars and the risky actions and heated rhetoric out of Moscow and Beijing over the last year demonstrate it is no longer useful to avoid talking about the great power rivalries of the 21st century and the dangers of them getting out of control. We need to acknowledge the real trends in motion and the real risks that loom, so that we can take mutual steps to avoid the mistakes that could create such an epic fail of deterrence and diplomacy. That way we can keep the next world war where it belongs, in the realm of fiction. How to Preparing for war Take survival classes, learn how to hunt, skin gut and prepare animals, the native flora and fauna, and what is or isn’t edible, know the average temperatures throughout he year, will thick woolly blankets be necessary? Now your bunker may be stocked with food and water, but you should still know how to catch your own, who knows if war is declared when the pantries empty, or you get cut off from your bunker, or you simply run out. You should also learn how to camouflage yourself and anything you build, such as a storage shack, fire pit, defences, etc. Now if a nuclear war happens, and you decide to run off into your bunker, make sure any nuclear weapons won’t be detonated near your site. I don’t suggest preparing for the apocalypse, but if you are paronoid anything that you want to be “prepared” and, or course, you’re rich enough to afford this, then this can be useful. Make sure to keep a radio or something that will allow you to monitor the status of the war, if it finishes, you want to know when to come out. Listen only, early on, people may want to take over your bunker, and later on, enemy soldiers may attack if they think that you are a threat, or they want to use your bunker. What happens if we lose power indefinitely — foods that require freezing or refrigeration for long term storage are going to go bad. Emergency food storage in advance will be the only way to feed yourself and your family. Reading survival guides, and how to survive a nuclear war guide is a must, they know much more then me, and can give detailed explanations of how to survive in your area. Countires like Japan, South Korea, or the USA, or the EU, (not a country) are very densly populated, so nuclear weapons are likely to destroy it, unless u live in Wyoming, North Dakota, etc. fallout will likely kill you off. Your best bet would be to go somewhere that is neutral, or nobody would really bother bombing. In world war 3, some countries may get scared of MAD (Mutually Assured Destructuion, not Mad Max) and stay neutral. Switzerland, Iceland, Fiji, Kribati, Tonga, NZ, these are all good places to be if a war, of the nuclear kind, starts. If possible, find out, after the war starts, which countries are neutral, and likely to stay that way. This isn’t a good option, as you could not be able to get in, use this method as a backup only, don’t rely on it.

TENSION: Engineered ‘Civil Unrest’ in the UK Planned for This Summer?

July 21, 2016 By 21wire 21st Century Wire says…

All the signs are that something serious might be brewing in the UK this summer. The big question is: is it a genuine grassroots uprising, or is this being engineered by design? Yesterday in London, 5 people including one police officer, were stabbed during the course of three different social media-driven ‘gatherings’ in public parks across the capital. We’re also told that 5 officers were injured while trying to regulate the crowd. Hundreds of riot police and support staff, including a helicopter, were deployed one hour later. Social Network and Media-Driven Flash Mobs This week in London, the largest of the three ‘events’ featured around 4,000 youths in Hyde Park for what was billed as a “water fight”. In reality, this was merely an opportunity to place a large mob into a controlled setting in one of the most regulated central spaces in London. Back in the summer of 2011 during the week-long London Riots, youths used Blackberry Messenger (BBM) as the main organizing tool to manifest on-demand. In 2016, powered by advanced iPhone and Android smart phones, social network platforms like Twitter, WhatsApp, Snapchat and Facebook are the primary tool of choice to drive any flash mob or snap street protest. As shown by a number of well-funded ‘social enterprise’ NGOs and PR companies, these social media campaigns and ‘gatherings’ can be created, directed and weaponized – in order to produce overseas ‘color revolution’ or any presence on the street. This also goes for social media campaigns and ‘events’ on western streets too. The UK Daily Mail reported that, “the city’s worst bout of violence since the 2011 riots,” which seems like an attempt to oversell this incident in order to evoke memories of a dark spot on the capital’s recent history. With any events like this, the media certain play a key role in amplifying narratives of tension. The BBC described it as “horrific scenes of violence”, even though London’s Met Police officials state that the officer was only stabbed in the hand, and that the injuries to the other officers are not serious, nor life threatening – and no arrests were made. Race Identity Politics + Social Engineering = ‘Civil Unrest’ What becoming abundantly clear is how the way in which these events are being covered and strategically amplified by the media – ANYTHING can potentially ignite a mass ‘civil unrest’ situation anywhere in the US and in Europe, and possibly beyond, as remnant Arab Spring narratives continue to ripple and reverberate across social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook. Death of black teenager in police custody sparks Black Lives Matter protests in UK cities https://t.co/NbMIbOxkOI  — The Independent (@Independent) July 18, 2016  America’s culture and race war narratives are now echoing in British social networks, as followers rapidly appropriate and absorb the campaign slogans for a UK social market, with many in the streets claiming that events in Hyde Park “kicked off” in the spirit of US professional activist organization known as ‘Black Lives Matter.‘ The same is happening on the continent. Only last night, street violence broke out in France after a young man died in police custody. AFP reports: “Angry crowds hurled petrol bombs at police and set cars alight in an area north of Paris overnight following the death of a young man in police hands earlier this week, a French official said. It seems that reactionary elements in the media are quick to characterize what would normally be classed as general criminal behavior, suddenly as “racially motivated violence.” SGT Report says: In other words, it appears as though we’re on the brink of societal chaos, and we’re not the only ones who think so. “We are sitting on a powder keg,” Charles Ramsey, the former D.C. police chief and one-time Philadelphia police commissioner, told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “You can call it a powder keg. You can say that we’re handling nitroglycerin, but obviously, when you just look at what’s going on, we’re in a very, very critical point in the history of this country.” What is going to set it off? Ramsey fears “some incident” at one of the national political conventions later this month. Add to this, a new hashtag campaign which has been suddenly released in the public sphere, #BlueLivesMatter referring to police on the “Thin Blue Line” who are said to have been targeted in a recent series of rather unlikely series of bizarre ‘lone gunman’ events, like the Dallas Sniper Event and the Baton Rogue Shooting taking place in the US over the past two weeks, involving a motley collection of rogue ‘ex-military’ shooters and snipers. Is this a case of the police vs. the public now? Yesterday, the UK Column News reported that it has received information about an impending temporary shutdown of Central London’s vast CCTV network scheduled for two weeks in August, presumably for a ‘installation upgrade’ which could be for a new high-definition facial recognition system. This story maybe linked with statements made in early July about London’s Westminster Council considering shutting down the CCTV network, they say in order to save £1.7m per year. When considering recent ‘unrest’ events in the UK, Europe and the US however, such a security shutdown could either coincide with, or precede a major civil unrest event. Watch the UK Column News here (start at 3:26 mark): Street Politics: Done by Wall Street In the current divisive political climate, where third sector organizations are being funded and steered by multi-billion dollar foundations and NGOs internationally, including the militant political ‘activist’ organization, Black Lives Matter – funded by Wall Street billionaire George Soros, the prospect of socially engineered unrest is a very real possibility and should be looked at seriously. SGT Report comments on the deteriorating contrived political situation in the US: “By now most Americans who lean, politically, to the Left have made up their minds about the so-called ‘epidemic’ of police shootings of black men around the country. It’s real, cops are the real threat to peace, and none of the men who have been killed in recent years were doing anything wrong. That is the narrative being put out by the race-baiters and race hustlers for the purpose of agitation; they are seeking radical changes in the way America is governed. The fact that there isn’t an epidemic and that whites and Hispanics are actually being killed at higher numbers by police doesn’t matter; it runs counter to the narrative being put out by the mainstream media and others, so it is a fact that gets trampled under the feet of so many protestors. ”Regarding the contrast between the 1960’s and 2016, SGT Report adds: “What makes today much different than the violent protests of the turbulent 1960s and early 1970s is that officially, those protests were not being sanctioned [per say] by anyone in power. The administrations of President Lyndon B. Johnson and President Richard M. Nixon both condemned and sought to undermine and quell the unrest. The current occupant of the White House, by contrast, is not doing any of those things. Quite the opposite, in fact. Barack Obama the primary instigator of it. To watch him claim that we’re not seeing what we’re really seeing is about as Orwellian as it gets. Obama has been the instigator-in-chief of our racial division since the earliest days of his presidency, and police officers, especially, have been in his crosshairs.” Soros-funded ‘community organizing’ portals like MoveOn.org have already been implicated in directly organizing planned unrest, specifically targeting Donald Trump’s Republican Party presidential campaign beginning in Chicago in the spring, adding to what is already shaping up to be one of the most divisive US elections in history – pitting Hillary Clinton against Donald Trump. To what end? In the US, it’s clearly a high stakes political contest. In Europe, it’s already been demonstrated that the agenda is increased central control of power, and further restricted rights of individuals, warrantless home searches and random arrests – all in the name of ‘security’? This seems to have been the social control and government agenda in France over the last 18 months. Add to this France’s violent general workers’ strikes (above) which has hardly been reported in the western media over the last 3 months, and then a series of highly questionable ‘ISIS-inspired’ terrorist attacks in Europe, as well as the UK’s carefully orchestrated BREXIT political and social polarization, and finally with politically potent ‘Migrant Crisis’ narratives constantly on offer now – the scene is set for a protracted global summer of tension for sure. Is it real, or is it by design?

The strategic consequences of Turkey's failed coup

Just like successful coups, failed coups can have a major impact on countries' foreign and security policies.

By Sinan Ulgen @sinanulgen1

Sinan Ulgen is Chairman of the Istanbul-based Center for Economics and Foreign Policy Studies.

A military coup against an elected government typically unleashes a flood of analysis about the country's future direction following the break in democratic rule. But failed coups can be just as consequential. The botched attempt by elements of the Turkish military to overthrow President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will have far-ranging implications for Turkey's foreign relations and regional role. Turkey's relationship with the United States, in particular, is headed for considerable turbulence. Gulen links The coup attempt heralds a new and uneasy phase in the Turkey-US relationship, because Turkish authorities have linked it to Fethullah Gulen, an Islamic preacher based near Philadelphia since 1999 but with a core group of followers in Turkey. Gulen was previously charged with establishing a "parallel state structure" primarily within the police, the judiciary, and the military. More recently, the Turkish authorities classified the Gulen movement as a terrorist organisation - a label given new meaning by the failed coup. But, despite the growing evidence concerning Gulen and his followers, the impression in Ankara is that the US has so far refused to constrain the activities of his network, which includes a range of schools and many civil society organisations. This network allows the Gulen movement to engage in substantial fundraising, which the authorities claim sustains the nefarious operations of its affiliates in Turkey. As a result, Gulen's continued residence in Pennsylvania has become not only a contentious issue in the bilateral relationship, but also an important source of rising anti-Americanism in Turkey. The need for more cooperation The failed coup is set to compound this trend. In the post-coup era, the US will come under significant pressure to reconsider its laissez-faire attitude towards Gulen. The Turkish side already has signalled that it will initiate a formal request for Gulen's extradition. The coup has therefore brought a new urgency to the need for the two NATO allies to settle this important dispute. A failure to find common ground under these changed circumstances would weaken prospects for cooperation at many levels. The Turkish military will now undergo a painful process of purging its Gulenist elements, and morale and cohesion will inevitably be affected at a time when the armed forces play an instrumental role in Turkey's efforts to combat Kurdish separatists and ISIL terrorism and in strengthening Turkey's border controls, which have helped to impede the flow of foreign jihadists into ISIL-controlled territory in Syria. The effectiveness of the joint fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS), which relies heavily on air strikes originating from the Incirlik airbase in southern Turkey, would doubtless be jeopardized. More broadly, a breach in this key bilateral relationship would weaken NATO cohesion in its policy towards Russia, with Turkey seeking to move beyond the confrontational framework set out at the alliance's recent Warsaw summit. The consequences of the failed coup are also likely to affect Turkey's relationship with Europe. In March, Turkey and the European Union agreed on an ambitious package of measures designed to stem the flow of refugees to Europe. OPINION: The people defeated the coup in Turkey But, while the arrangement has been a clear success, it remains politically vulnerable. For Turkey, the biggest prize was the EU's commitment to lifting visa restrictions on Turkish citizens travelling to the Schengen Area, a move scheduled for June. Instead, visa liberalisation was postponed until October, fowing to Turkey's refusal to comply with a few remaining conditions. A likely diplomatic crisis At the core of the diplomatic impasse is the EU's demand that Turkey amend its anti-terror legislation to ensure that it reflects more closely the norms established by the European Court of Human Rights. The aim is to limit the legislation's implementation to genuine terror cases and prevent its use as a tool to restrain freedom of expression. But the post-putsch environment will reduce the government's willingness to amend Turkey's anti-terror framework. IN PICTURES: Turkey's coup attempt captured in dramatic images As a result, a diplomatic crisis by October is likely, with Turkey claiming that the EU has failed to honour its commitments. The entire refugee package, under which Turkey continues to host more than 2.8 million Syrian refugees, could then come under threat, with consequences for the flow of asylum seekers. Finally, the botched coup will have repercussions on Turkey's ability to contribute to regional security. The Turkish military will now undergo a painful process of purging its Gulenist elements, and morale and cohesion will inevitably be affected at a time when the armed forces play an instrumental role in Turkey's efforts to combat Kurdish separatists and ISIL terrorism and in strengthening Turkey's border controls, which have helped to impede the flow of foreign jihadists into ISIL-controlled territory in Syria. And weakened trust in the wake of the coup attempt will make interagency cooperation between the military, the police, and the intelligence services particularly problematic. Just like successful coups, failed coups can have a major impact on countries' foreign and security policies. Turkey's botched putsch has already heightened the likelihood that critical milestones soon will be reached in the country's relationship with the US and Europe.

Russian warplanes reportedly bombed US base in Syria

Published July 22, 2016 FoxNews.com

Russian warplanes reportedly bombed a secret military base in Syria used by elite American and British forces last month. The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that the Russian strike on the CIA-linked site was part of a campaign by Russia to pressure the White House to agree to closer cooperation in the Syrian skies, U.S. military and intelligence officials said. Despite the fact that some forces could have been killed and the bombing dampened relations between Russia and the Pentagon and CIA, the White House and State Department still persued a compromise. The U.S. and Russia agreed to a pact last week to target airstrikes against the Al Qaeda affiliate in the region – Nusra Front – despite objections from the Pentagon and CIA. Russia agreed to stop airstrikes on U.S.-backed rebels and restrain the Syrian air campaign. The two sides are still talking about designations where Russia would need U.S. approval to conduct an airstrike. According to The Wall Street Journal, deal backers in the White House and State Department believe U.S. airstrikes on the Nusra Front in areas that were previously occupied by Russian forces would provide protection for allies in Syria. However, officials in the Pentagon and CIA contend that Washington bowed to Moscow in the deal and believe that the U.S. needs to confront Russia. The Russian strike on the base occurred on June 16. The U.S. and British forces help maintain what is described as a buffer zone in Jordan. Forces go into Syria to help protect Jordan from Islamic State, U.S. officials told The Journal. Forces didn’t spend the night, due to security reasons. Nearly a day before the strike, 20 of 24 British special forces pulled out of the base. The U.S. tracked a Russian plane heading toward the base. The warplane dropped a cluster bomb, according to U.S. and rebel officials. After the first strike, U.S. central command air operations center in Qatar called Russia’s air campaign headquarters in Latakia, Syria to tell them that the base shouldn’t be attacked. However, Russian forces struck again nearly 90 minutes after the call was made. Russian pilots didn’t respond to U.S. calls using frequencies the two sides had previously agreed to use in case of an emergency. At least four rebels were killed in strikes. Russian officials initially told the Pentagon that the military thought it was an Islamic State facility, but U.S. officials rejected the notion because of what they described as a unique way the base was fortified, The Journal reported. Russians then said that the Jordanians had given them the go-ahead to strike the base, but the U.S. double-checked and said no such authorization was given. Later, Russia told the U.S. that their headquarters wasn’t in position to call off the strike because the U.S. didn’t provide them with the proper coordinates of the base. U.S. officials said that the Pentagon had never asked the Russians to steer clear of that area because it wasn’t close to the front lines and Russian aircraft didn’t operate in that part of Syria anyway. The strike has increased the distrust between U.S. and American forces in Syria. According to the Wall Street Journal, the U.S. didn’t want to give Russia any more information than they had to. Since the strike, the U.S. has told Russia to steer clear of the Jordanian border.

Syria’s President Assad: “Erdogan used the Coup to Implement his Mulsim Brotherhood Agenda”

July 22, 2016 By Vanessa Beele

SANA President Bashar al-Assad gave interview to Cuba’s official state news agency Prensa Latina in which he said the Turks, Qataris and Saudis lost most of their cards on the battlefields in Syria and that Aleppo battle is their last card, affirming that there is strong harmony between Syria and Latin America, especially Cuba, on the political and historical levels and that hard work is needed in order to invigorate the different sectors of this relation. The following is the full text of the interview: Question 1: Mr. President, thanks for giving Prensa Latina this historic opportunity of conveying your point of view to the rest of the world about the reality in Syria, because as you know, there is a lot of misinformation out there about your country, about the foreign aggression that is taking place against this beautiful country. Mr. President, how would you evaluate the current military situation of the external aggression against Syria, and what are the main challenges of Syrian forces on the ground to fight anti-government groups? If it is possible, we would like to know your opinion about the battles or combats in Aleppo, in Homs. President Assad: Of course, there was a lot of support to the terrorists from around the world. We have more than one hundred nationalities participating in the aggression against Syria with the support of certain countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar with their money and Turkey with the logistical support, and of course with the endorsement and supervision of the Western countries, mainly the United States, France, and the UK, and some other allies. But since the Russians decided to intervene in supporting legally the Syrian Army in fighting the terrorists in Syria, mainly al-Nusra and ISIS and some other affiliated groups, the scales have been tipped against those terrorists, and the Syrian Army has made many advances in different areas in Syria. And we are still moving forward, and the Syrian Army is determined to destroy and to defeat those terrorists. You mentioned Homs and Aleppo. Of course, the situation in Homs, since the terrorists left Homs more than a year ago, the situation has been much, much better, more stable. You have some suburbs of the city which were infiltrated by terrorists. Now there is a process of reconciliation in those areas in which either the terrorists give up their armaments and go back to their normal life with amnesty from the government, or they can leave Homs to any other place within Syria, like what happened more than a year ago in the center of the city. For Aleppo it is a different situation, because the Turks and their allies like the Saudis and Qataris lost most of their cards on the battlefields in Syria, so the last card for them, especially for Erdogan, is Aleppo. That is why he worked hard with the Saudis to send as much as they can of the terrorists – the estimation is more than 5,000 terrorists – to Aleppo. Question 2: Through the Turkish borders? President Assad: Yes, from Turkey to Aleppo, during the last two months, in order to recapture the city of Aleppo, and that didn’t work. Actually, our army has been making advancement in Aleppo and the suburbs of Aleppo in order to encircle the terrorists, then, let’s say, either to negotiate their going back to their normal life as part of reconciliation, or for the terrorists to leave the city of Aleppo, or to be defeated. There’s no other solution. Question 3: Thank you, thank you very much. Mr. President, which are the priorities of the Syrian Army in the confrontation with the terrorist groups? And we’re particularly interested, because in Cuba we had something similar in the past, in the role of the popular defense groups; what is the role that the popular defense groups are playing in the theater of operations? President Assad: The priority of the Syrian Army, first of all, is to fight ISIS and al-Nusra and Ahrar al-Cham and Jaish al-Islam. These four organizations are directly linked to Al Qaeda through the ideology; they have the same ideology, they are Islamic extremist groups who want to kill anyone who doesn’t look or doesn’t feel or behave like them. But regarding what you called the popular militia groups, actually, at the beginning of the war, the terrorists started an unconventional war against our army, and our army is a traditional army, like any other army in the world, so the support of those popular defence groups was very important in order to defeat the terrorists in an unconventional way. That was very helpful to the Syrian Army, because those fighters, those national fighters, they fight in their regions, in their cities, in their villages, so they know the area very well, they know the region very well, I mean the pathways, the terrain, let’s say, very well. So, they can be very huge assets for the Syrian Army. That is their role. Question 4: Mr. President, how does the resistance of the Syrian people take place in the economic front to foreign aggression, I mean the economy, and please, what is your opinion on which sectors of the Syrian economy have remained functioning despite the war, economic blockade, looting, and so forth? President Assad: Actually, the war on Syria is a full-blown war; it is not only supporting terrorists. They support the terrorists, and at the same time they launched a political war against Syria on the international level, and the third front was the economic front, in which they dictate to their terrorists, to their surrogate mercenaries, to start destroying the infrastructure in Syria that helped the economy and the daily needs of the Syrian citizens. At the same time, they started an embargo directly on the borders of Syria through the terrorists and abroad through the banking systems around the world. In spite of that, the Syrian people were determined to live as much normal life as they can. That prompted many Syrian businessmen or the owners of, let’s say, the industry, which is mainly medium and small industry, to move from the conflict areas and unstable areas toward more stable areas, on a smaller scale of business, in order to survive and to keep the economy running and to keep the needs of the Syrian people available. So, in that regard, most of the sectors are still working. For example, the pharmaceutical sector is still working in more than 60% of its capacity, which is very important, helpful, and very supportive to our economy in such circumstances. And I think now we are doing our best in order to re-expand the base of the economy in spite of the situation, especially after the Syrian Army made many advancements in different areas. Question 5: Mr. President, let’s talk a little bit about the international environment, please give me your opinion about the role of the United Nations in the Syrian conflict, the attempts of Washington and its allies to impose their will on the Security Council and in the Geneva peace talks. President Assad: Talking about the role of the United Nations or Security Council could be illusive, because actually the United Nations is now an American arm, where they can use it the way they want, they can impose their double standards on it instead of the Charter. They can use it like any other institution within the American administration. Without some Russian and Chinese stances in certain issues, it would be a full American institution. So, the Russian and Chinese role has made some balance within these institutions, mainly regarding the Syrian issue during the last five years. But if you want to talk about their role through their mediators or their envoys, like recently de Mistura, and before that Kofi Annan, and in between Brahimi, and so on. Let’s say that those mediators are not independent; they reflect either the pressure from the Western countries, or sometimes the dialogue between the main powers, mainly Russia and the United States. So, they’re not independent, so you cannot talk about the role of the United Nations; it is a reflection of that balance. That is why so far, there is no United Nations role in the Syrian conflict; there is only Russian and American dialogue, and we know that the Russians are working hard and seriously and genuinely in order to defeat the terrorists, while the Americans always play games in order to use the terrorists, not to defeat them. Question 6: Mr. President, how do you see at the present time the coexistence among Syrian ethnic and religious groups against this foreign intervention? How do they contribute or not in this regard? President Assad: The most important thing about this harmony between the different spectrums of the Syrian fabric, is that it is genuine, because that has been built up through the history, through centuries, so for such a conflict, it cannot destroy that social fabric. That is why if you go around and visit different areas under the control of the government, you will see all the colors of the Syrian society living with each other. Intervention: I saw it in Damascus. President Assad: Exactly. And I would say, I would add to this, that during the conflict, this harmony has become much better and stronger, and this is not rhetoric; actually, this is reality, for different reasons, because this conflict is a lesson. This diversity that you have, it is either to be a richness to your country, or a problem. There’s no something in the middle. So, the people learned that we need to work more on this harmony, because the first rhetoric used by the terrorists and by their allies in the region and in the West regarding the Syrian conflict at the very beginning was sectarian rhetoric. They wanted people to divide in order to have conflict with each other, to stoke the fire within Syria, and it didn’t work. And the Syrians learned that lesson, that we had harmony; we had had harmony before the conflict, in the normal times, but we have to work more in order to make it much stronger. So, I can say without any exaggeration that the situation regarding this part is good. In spite of that, I would say the areas under the control of the terrorists – and as you know those terrorists are mainly extremist groups affiliated to Al Qaeda – in which they worked very hard in order to indoctrinate the young generation with their dark ideology, and they succeeded in some areas, this dark ideology with the killing and beheading and all these horrible practices. With the time, it is going to be more difficult to deal with this new generation of young people who have been indoctrinated with Al Qaeda and Wahabi doctrine and ideology. So this is the only danger that we are going to face regarding our society, harmony, and coexistence that you just mentioned. Question 7: Mr. President, I would like to go again to the international arena. What is in your opinion the role of the U.S.-led international coalition in relation to the groups that operate in northern Syria, in particular regarding the Kurds group. I mean the bombing of the American airplanes and the coalition in the northern part of the country. What to do you think about that? President Assad: You know, traditionally, the American administrations, when they had relations with any group or community in any country, it is not for the sake of the country, it is not for the interest of the people; it is for the agenda of the United States. So, that is what we have to ask ourselves: why would the Americans support any group in Syria? Not for Syria. They must have their agenda, and the American agenda has always been divisive in any country. They don’t work to unite the people; they work to make division between the different kinds of people. Sometimes they choose a sectarian group, sometimes they choose an ethnic group in order to support them against other ethnicities or to push them in a way that takes them far from the rest of the society. This is their agenda. So, it is very clear that this American support is not related to ISIS, it is not related to al-Nusra, it is not related to fighting terrorism, because since the beginning of the American intervention, ISIS was expanding, not shrinking. It has only started to shrink when the Russian support to the Syrian Army took place last September. Question 8: Mr. President, what is your opinion about the recent coup d’état in Turkey, and its impact on the current situation in that country, and on the international level, and on the Syrian conflict also? President Assad: Such a coup d’état, we have to look at it as a reflection of instability and disturbances within Turkey, mainly on the social level. It could be political, it could be whatever, but at the end, the society is the main issue when you have instability. Regardless of who is going to govern Turkey, who is going to be the president, who is going to be the leader of Turkey; this is an internal issue. We don’t interfere, we don’t make the mistake to say that Erdogan should go or should stay. This is a Turkish issue, and the Turkish people have to decide. But what is more important than the coup d’état itself, we have to look at the procedures and the steps that are being taken by Erdogan and his coterie recently during the last few days, when they started attacking the judges; they removed more than 2,700 judges from their positions, more than 1,500 professors in the universities, more than 15,000 employees in the education sector. What do the universities and the judges and that civil society have to do with the coup d’état? So, that reflects the bad intentions of Erdogan and his misconduct and his real intentions toward what happened, because the investigation hasn’t been finalized yet. How did they take the decision to remove all those? So, he used the coup d’état in order to implement his own extremist agenda, Muslim Brotherhood agenda, within Turkey, and that is dangerous for Turkey and for the neighboring countries, including Syria. Question 9: Mr. President, how do you evaluate the Syrian government’s relations with the opposition inside Syria? What is the difference between these opposition organizations and those based outside Syria? President Assad: We have good relations with the opposition within Syria based on the national principles. Of course, they have their own political agenda and they have their own beliefs, and we have our own agenda and our beliefs, and the way we can make the dialogue either directly or through the ballot boxes; it could be a different way of dialogue, which is the situation in every country. But we cannot compare them with the other oppositions outside Syria, because the word “opposition” means to resort to peaceful means, not to support terrorists, and not to be formed outside your country, and to have grassroots, to have real grassroots made of Syrian people. You cannot have your grassroots be the foreign ministry in the UK, France or the intelligence in Qatar and Saudi Arabia and the United States. This is not opposition, this is called, in that case, you are called a traitor. So, they call them oppositions, we call them traitors. The real opposition is the one that works for the Syrian people and is based in Syria and its agenda derived its vision from the Syrian people and the Syrian interests. Question 10: Mr. President, how do you evaluate the insistence of the U.S. and its allies that you leave power in addition to the campaign to distort the image of your government? I mean, in the foreign environment. How do you see that insistence from them that you leave power? President Assad: Regarding their wish for me to leave power, they have been talking about this for the last five years, and we never responded even with a statement. We never cared about them. Actually, this is a Syrian issue; only the Syrian people can say who should come and go, who should stay in his position, who should leave, and the West knows our position very well regarding this. So, we don’t care and don’t have to waste our time with their rhetoric. I am here because of the support of the Syrian people. Without that, I wouldn’t be here. That is very simple. About how they defame, or try to demonize certain presidents, this is the American way, at least since the second World War, since they substituted British colonization in this region, and maybe in the world, the American administrations and the American politicians haven’t said a single honest word regarding anything. They always lie. And as time goes by, they are becoming more inveterate liars, so this is part of their politics. So, to demonize me is like how they tried to demonize President Putin during the last two years and they did the same with the leader Castro during the last five and six decades. This is their way. So, we have to know that this is the American way. We don’t have to worry about it. The most important thing is to have good reputation among your own people. That is what we have to worry about. Question 11: Mr. President, what is your opinion on Syria’s relation with Latin America, particularly the historical links with Cuba President Assad: In spite of the long distance between Syria and Latin America, we are always surprised how much the people in Latin America, not only the politicians, know about this region. I think this has many reasons, but one of them is the historical similarities and commonalities between our region, between Syria and Latin America. Latin America was under direct occupation for long time ago but after that it was under the occupation of the American companies, and the American coup d’états and the American intervention. Intervention: Yes, a lot of them. President Assad: So, they know what is the meaning of being independent or not to be independent. They understand that the war in Syria is about independence. But the most important thing is the role of Cuba. Cuba was the spearhead of the independence movement within Latin America and Fidel Castro was the iconic figure in that regard. So, on the political level and the knowledge level, there is a strong harmony between Syria and Latin America, especially Cuba. But I do not think we work enough to improve the other part of the relation; to be on the same level mainly on the educational and the economic level. That was my ambition before the crisis and that is why I visited Latin America, Cuba, Venezuela, Argentine and Brazil, in order to invigorate this relation. Then, we had this conflict started and it was a big obstacle to do anything in that regard, but I think that we have not to restrain the relation on the historical and the political levels. That is not enough. You have so many other sectors, people should know more about each other. The long distance could be an obstacle, but it shouldn’t because we have strong relations with the rest of the world, east and west. So, it is not an obstacle in these days. So, I think if we overcome this crisis and this war, we should work harder in order to invigorate the different sectors of this relation with Latin America and especially with Cuba. Question 12: Mr. President, do you have an expectation for… I mean would you tell me your opinion about the electoral process in the United States mainly for the president? Now, we have two candidates; the Republican one is Mr. Donald Trump and the Democratic one is Mrs. Hillary Clinton; and we know her very well, but what is your opinion about this process, about the result of this process and how it could impact the conflict here, in the war in Syria? President Assad: We resumed our relation with the United States in 1974. Now, it has been 42 years since then and we witnessed many American presidents in different situations and the lesson that we have learned is that no one should bet on any American president, that is the most important thing. So, it is not about the name. They have institutions, they have their own agenda and every president should come to implement that agenda in his own way, but at the end he has to implement that agenda. All of them have militaristic agendas, and the only difference is the way. One of them sends his army like Bush and the other one sends mercenaries and proxies like Obama, but all of them have to implement this agenda. So, I do not believe that the president is allowed completely to fulfill his own political convictions in the United States, he has to obey the institutions and the lobbies, and the lobbies have not changed and the institutions’ agenda has not changed. So, no president in the near future will come to make a serious and dramatic change regarding the politics of the United States. Question 13: Mr. President, one final question: what message would you send using this interview with Prensa Latina to the governments and people of Latin America, the Caribbean, and also why not the American people, about the importance of supporting Syria against terrorism? President Assad: Latin America is a very good and important example to the world about how the people and their governments regain their independence. They are the backyard of the United States as the United States sees, but this backyard was used by the United States to play its own games, to implement its own agenda and the people in Latin America sacrificed a lot in order to regain their independence and everybody knows that. After regaining their independence, those countries moved from being developing countries, or sometimes under-developed countries, to be developed countries. So, independence is a very important thing and it is very dear for every Latin American citizen. We think they have to keep this independence because the United States will not stop trying to topple every independent government, every government that reflects the vast majority of the people in every country in Latin America. And again, Cuba knows this, knows what I am talking about more than any other one in the world; you suffered more than anyone from the American attempts and you succeeded in withstanding all these attempts during the last sixty years or more just because the government reflected the Cuban people. So, holding strongly to this independence, I think, is the crucial thing, the most important thing for the future of Latin America. Regarding Syria, we can say that Syria is paying the price of its independence because we never worked against the United States; we never worked against France or the UK. We always try to have good relations with the West. But their problem is that they do not accept any independent country and I think this is same for Cuba. You never tried to do any harm to the American people but they do not accept you as an independent country. The same is true for other countries in Latin America and that’s why you always have coup d’états mainly between the sixties and the seventies. So, I think preserving the independence of a certain country is not only an isolated case; if I want to be independent, I have to support the independence in the rest of the world. So, the independence anywhere in the world, including Latin America, will support my independence. If I am alone, I will be weak. Supporting Syria will be mainly in the international arena. There are many international organizations, mainly the United Nation, in spite of its impotence, but at the end, their support could play a vital role in supporting Syria and, of course, the Security Council; it depends on who is going to be the temporary member in the Security Council, and any other organization supporting Syria will be very important. Question 14: Mr. President, I know that you are a very busy person, that is why I appreciate very much your time that you have dedicated to Prensa Latina interview in this moment. I hope this would not be the last interview that we have with you. President Assad: You are welcome anytime.

A deeply disturbing letter from Germany

By Linh Dinh Posted on July 22, 2016 by Linh Dinh

A friend in Frankfurt emailed me the following on July 19. It is sheer madness what is happening here . . . The noose is tightening and yet—it is still only the beginning . . . What took place in some dull regional express close to Würzburg, a town in Franconia in the middle of Germany, was—in some respect—like a watershed event—just like the mass sexual assaults in Cologne on New Year’s Eve. The mantra from above is still “Islam belongs to Germany” or “We will make it (in regards to the Refugee Crisis)” but there are fewer and fewer people buying it—which does NOT mean that more people are getting it—but I will come to this later. We now know that in Cologne alone (!) there were about 1,200 women (in one night) sexually harassed, abused and, in some cases, raped. At the moment there is no weekend when there aren’t news about some refugees sexually harassing women or girls at a festival (it is festival season). Also, you can find news about refugees harassing women and children (and sometimes raping them) in public swimming pools on a weekly or even daily basis. Sales of pepper sprays and guns are booming everywhere. If there were only these things, the rage might be controllable, but Würzburg was of a different quality. For the first time, a refugee didn’t kill another refugee (when this happened before, Neo-Nazis were blamed, then—just as was the case with most of the “burning refugee centers”—the police later found that a refugee was responsible). When children were robbed by refugees, Germans were told to send their children to school by a different route. Germans were told to stop swimming nude in a lake—because a refugee center was erected nearby. Last year, Germans were told the refugees would contribute so mightily and extraordinarily to the German economy—so what have been the news recently? Well—the big German corporations, the 30 members of the DAX (the stock market index), that so proudly announced last year they would hire lots of refugees—they have indeed hired refugees. Fifty-four, to be exact (50 of them went to the Deutsche Post, as mailmen. Ah—if Charles Bukowski only knew . . . ). Only recently, a branch of the German Arbeitsagentur (the office for the unemployed) in Dortmund had another success story: This branch was created last year and staffed with 36 employees (all paid with tax money) with the sole purpose of bringing 2,200 refugees in Dortmund, those who were able to work, into the workforce. And the news was: After nine months of intensive work the Arbeitsagentur has succeeded to get . . . ten (!) refugees working! Hurrah! Well, they had the decency to add that it’s only a start—but an encouraging one. The list is endless. . . . but to come back to the incident in Würzburg: A refugee, supposedly from Afghanistan and 17-years-old, decided to start his own jihad and tried to take out a few infidels. Oddly enough, he started with a family from Hong Kong on the train, whom he attacked with the brave shout “Allah akbar” and a knife and an axe. After severely wounding two of them, he jumped off the train. (I wonder if this will boost tourism from Hong Kong). Then he met some old ladies who were walking their little dogs and with the shout “I will kill you, sluts!” he also wounded one (perhaps fatally) before being shot by the police. Now—as I said, THIS is a new quality. I can almost feel the anger and rage in Germany getting stronger. The rage in some refugees is also rising, which is logical. There are no jobs for them. There are no houses for them. There are no women for them. So—jihad is an option, if you are bored and all these kuffar give you nothing but €352 a month, or less, and you have to sleep with six others in a tightly packed room—and there is just nothing to do! And you wander around and there are all those women in shorts, etc.—but they are not for you. No wonder, some get frustrated. Slowly, silently, the German police admit there might be a teensy-weensy bit of a problem here—mind you, we still don’t know the whereabouts of between 150 to 500 thousand refugees who just disappeared . . .Nobody knows how many jihadists are here. Nobody. Could be a few dozen. Or hundreds. Or thousands. This young man on the Würzburg train came last July. He was granted asylum this March. The last two months, he lived with a family. He had a job (or was in training, rather) at a bakery. There were no signs of radicalization. Soooo. . . . The media is busy telling us: Well . . . he radicalized himself only days before the attack. I wonder if they realize this message is not quite reassuring . . . So the gap is rising ever more. Everybody has some story to tell: My brother lives in Munich. Last year, his wife was very pro-refugee. In a neighboring suburb a few weeks ago, a woman heard the doorbell at 10PM. Assuming it was a friend (this is Bavarian bourgeoisie, so they’ve always felt safe, at least until recently . . . ), she opened the door—and was greeted (and then raped) by two refugees. That made my brother’s wife rethink (they have two small children). My sister in Münster has armed herself with pepper spray. Colleagues don’t let their children go alone to school anymore, because there are refugees nearby. A guy in East Germany tells me people are secretly arming themselves. Hate grows, as does mistrust and anxiety. Some weeks ago in Hanover, a young Muslim girl (15-years-old) rammed a knife into the throat of a female policeman (who was just standing there—the attack came out of nowhere). Then people hear about public swimming pools, about festivals—they hear about the same things in Sweden—then what happened in France—Nice, or the policeman and his wife who were stabbed to death in Magnanville (while their 3-year-old-son was watching). The latest incident was a woman in France who got stabbed by a guy from Morocco—they had quarreled because the Moroccan guy thought the woman’s daughters were not properly dressed—so he stabbed her and her three daughters, the youngest only eight-years-old. And so on, and so on . . . Now—of course, there are also Germans doing nasty things—murdering, raping etc. But these things have a new quality to them. For many years, the statistics of the German police had shown that migrants are waaaay overrepresented in crime—rapes, robberies, burglaries, violence etc. The rates for migrants were everywhere double or triple those for the general population (and the funny thing is, the gap would have been even wider if Germans with a migrant background—Turks who have German passports, etc.—were included. Of course, this was not done (it would be racist, you know). And the blame was and is still on the Germans—that they didn’t provide enough opportunities for integration towards the poor Muslim migrants (funnily enough, we don’t have these problems with Vietnamese or Hindu migrants . . . but again, these are racist thoughts . . . ). So the migrants were and are told that it is the Germans’ fault if they don’t get a job. Some of them believe it. Also, some or even many seem to believe that Germans are a bunch of racist swine. I once met a Greek woman who complained loudly to me that Germans were so racist. I asked her what her experiences were—and she said that a friend of her had been approached by a German on a train and that he (hacked her to death? No, not quite) had said to her: there are too many of you in Germany. Wasn’t that racism? I asked if her children were ever harassed by Turkish children in school (Turks and Greeks don’t get along too well)—yes, of course—Turkish children had harassed and even beaten up her boys. Now, Linh—the really funny thing was, it didn’t occur to her that this was more racist (that her boys were beaten up by Turks just because they were Greeks) than the incident on the train. Racism was something only Germans showed. I heard similar things from others. So all in all—a perfect example of mind manipulation. AND this also shows now so brilliantly—because—as I said, the mood gets worse (just on the eve of the next financial crisis—perfect timing)—even in the German leftist newspaper Die Zeit (absolutely pro-refugee) you now find commentaries from people who say that they have just had enough of this lousy leftist whining . . . Because again, we are told from German politicians about the incident in Würzburg that This had nothing to do with Islam or the refugee crisis That the police shouldn’t have killed the poor axe-wielding boy (German police officers are rather reluctant to use their guns, but if someone runs towards them with an axe, I think it is understandable that they shoot) That the young man radicalized himself just recently—and therefore that It was no sign of a strengthening of ISIS in Germany, etc. My father remembers the 70s (I don’t—too young) when 40 members of the Rote Armee Fraktion RAF (the left terror group of Baader Meinhof and the likes) were able to hold German society in fear and sometimes in a state close to hysteria.  wiNow—with . . . 100? 1,000? ISIS members—you can imagine how the mood will change when ISIS does its first crucifixion here . . . ). All the more, since some gruesome details from the Paris attacks are now leaking out—that the terrorists at the Paris discotheque in November 2015 not only killed the young folks there . . . but they tore off limbs, cut off genitals, stuffed them in the mouths of the men, cut out eyes etc . . . Ah—a holy war excuses everything—even becoming a monster, it seems. But to come to the point: As I said, Germans are getting more and more fed up with the official litany—BUT: They don’t see the real picture. They still believe that the ones who created this situationwill be the ones who will deliver the solution! That is the sad part of it. All these things will be used as an excuse to install the perfect police state (and it will be perfect). We need to protect you from terrorists—so give us your freedom, open your bank account, let us abolish money and install a digital currency, accept new taxes (and ghettos in your cities). Work harder and for less money, consume and be a good citizen—and most importantly: Have fear! Always have fear! Now—I don’t want to leave with the impression that all refugees are just no-goods—criminals, murderers etc. They are not. The vast majority are normal people who just want to lead a normal life—and not one that is forced upon them while their countries are demolished, raped and plundered by the West (that is, the US of A). BUT—they are just tools in a game. Pawns. Just as we are. And this leads to no good if the circumstances here resemble Iraq’s. Or just Kenya. And that is the direction we are headed. People with totally different cultural and ideological roots from ours will cling with force to what they know. If they are encouraged to do so (and they are). Assimilation is a crime against humanity, as a Turkish politician once said (who recently had a tough time because some of his generals wanted to get rid of him). So they stay with their own folks. No integration. No assimilation. But ghettos—their mindset becomes even more rigid—some of them will start to despise the majority, whom they don’t understand and don’t want to understand—and sometimes they will commit violence against the hated or despised kuffar (who have no decency—no respect, etc.). I mean—it is funny—in all German travel guides—when it comes to Muslim countries, you find things like: If you are a woman, don’t wear a skirt! Under no circumstances be topless on a beach! Don’t look men in the eye—it is an invitation to sex! Etc. Are the ones who wrote this only hardcore racists? And now hundreds of thousands of people from these countries come here—what do we expect? They mistake our hospitality for weakness. And they (some of them at least) will turn to extremism. A famous German journalist (one of the old school—Peter Scholl-Latour) once said prophetically: If you let Calcutta come here, you change this to Calcutta. And he was right. A minority of the refugees consists of terrorists, murderers, rapists, etc. They could only come here because the borders were kept open. Just on the eve of the Greater Depression (with all the distrust between the various groups and subgroups), they will make sure that German citizens will fight among themselves in countless battles and skirmishes. Germans against migrants, Turks against Kurds, Sunni against Shia, Yazidis against Salafists, etc. The rich will have their gated communities, the rest will have to deal with a much tougher life in ghettos and suburbs. And life will still go on . . . I was once in Nigeria. Though you can make money and do business there, life is not too pleasant for the majority of Nigerians . . . That is where we are headed. German society will be so fragmented and there will be such turmoil and violence, the majority will accept every solution from above . . . Still—if in the end it all plays out as planned—I don’t know. There still is something called destiny. And this may be—in the end—the stronger factor. Even against those in the shadows. In the meantime, we have to carry on with our normal life. And try to stay human. That is a tough thing to do, these days—but it is possible. And will remain possible.

He’s tracking our deteriorating socialscape through his frequently updated photo blog, Postcards from the End of America.

Warhead Miniaturization

The discourse over whether North Korea has miniaturized nucler weapons that can be mounted on long range ballistic missiles is a bit difficult to understand. In the United States, such improvements in yield-to-weight ratios were underway soon after the first test in 1945, and had made major progress by the late 1950s. North Korea's first declared nuclear was on October 9, 2006, and there is reason to believe North Korea participated in Pakistan's second underground nuclear test on 30 May 1998. Surely the DPRK has had enough time to develop missile-eardy warheads. North Korea, Pakistan and Iran have had a close working realtionship on nuclear and missile programs since at least the mid-1990s. No one doubts that Pakistan's missiles carry nuclear warheads, and the potential nuclear capability of missiles of similar if not the same design in Iran is not in question. There would thus seem to be no reason to doubt that the DPRK's Nodong-1 has a nuclear warhead, just as the same missile in Pakistan - the Ghauri - is assumed to have a nuclear warhead, and this same missile in Iran - the Shahab-3 - is assumed to be nuclear capable. The persistent claim that North Korea is the only nuclear weapons state that cannot mount a warhead on a missile may simply reflect a lack of understanding of the realtive ease of this task "easily within the reach of even the smallest nuclear power." Or it may reflect a deliberae policy to "deny the benefits" of possesing nuclear weapons by deprecating the DPRK's nuclear weapons. "Deterrence is the art of producing in the mind of the enemy... the FEAR to attack." The benefit of North Korean nuclear weapons is diminished if those against whom they are directed - South Korea, USA, etc - claim not to fear them because they do not believe that they can be delivered. South Korean Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin said at a hearing by the National Assembly's Defense Committee on 14 June 2011 that Pyongyang may have produced a lighter nuclear device, in what amounted to a rare admission by a high-ranking defense official. "It has been a long time [since the North's nuclear test], so we believe the North had enough time to make a smaller or lighter nuclear weapon," he said. "Considering cases involving other countries, there is a strong chance that the North has succeeded." The US military commander in South Korea, General Curtis Scaparrotti, told reporters at the Pentagon on 24 October 2014 that Pyongyang has the ability to miniaturize nuclear warheads for the purpose of putting them on a ballistic missile. “I believe they have the capability to have miniaturized the device at this point, and they have the technology to potentially, actually deliver what they say they have,” said Scaparrotti. North Korea’s capability to miniaturize a nuclear weapon appears to have reached “a significant level,” according to South Korea’s defense chief. During a parliament audit 27 October 2014, South Korean Defense Minister Han Min Koo told lawmakers it is prudent for the South Korean military to prepare for this scenario. Department of Defense spokesperson Peter Cook told reporters on 08 March 2016 that the Defense Department did not believe North Korea was able yet to sufficiently miniaturize any nuclear device to use it as a warhead on any missile. "The United States has not seen North Korea demonstrate an ability to miniaturize a warhead. Nothing has changed… Our assessment has not changed," Cook stated. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said March 09, 2016 his country had developed miniature nuclear warheads that can fit on a ballistic missile. While such bellicose claims were not new from the reclusive nation, this is the first time the North Korean leader has made such an assertion. The state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported that Kim met with nuclear scientists and technicians who briefed him on "research conducted to tip various types of tactical and strategic ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads." The agency also published photographs that appeared to show the North Korean leader visiting a facility where the warheads were made. Some US military leaders have said in the past that North Korea had the right connections and technology to develop a miniaturized nuclear device, but it had yet to demonstrate such capability. North Korean boasts about its nuclear capability support Pyongyang's intensified efforts to counter world condemnation following the country's fourth nuclear test and recent long-range rocket launch. "We think the North's technology of miniaturizing nuke arms has reached a significant level… But South Korea and the U.S. have not had any intelligence that the North has succeeded in fitting nuclear warheads on ballistic missiles. There is no sign for that," Yonhap news agency quoted an unnamed official from the Defense Ministry as saying. South Korea's Defense Ministry has analyzed photos of the supposed miniature warhead published in the North Korean Rodong Sinmun newspaper on Tuesday and found that Pyongyang does not yet possess the technology to create a functional miniature warhead, the agency reported. Admiral William Gortney, commander of the US Northern Command, told a Senate committee 10 March 2016 it was “prudent” to assume Pyongyang had the ability to miniaturize a nuclear warhead and mount it on an ICBM that could reach the US. David E. Sanger and Choe Sand-Hunmay writing in the New York Times reported 07 May 2016 that "American and South Korean intelligence officials say they have concluded that the country can now mount a small nuclear warhead on short- and medium-range missiles capable of hitting much of Japan and South Korea.... The assessment of the North’s new capabilities is not based on direct evidence from inside its nuclear program, senior officials said, but draws on intelligence gleaned from high-level defectors, analysis of propaganda images and data collected from North Korean missile and nuclear tests... the politics of the assessment, which means the North can target American bases in South Korea and Japan, are delicate, both in the region and in the midst of a presidential election in the United States.... Publicly acknowledging the North’s advances would play into Mr. Kim’s narrative... one sees the backward nation taking the enormous strides needed to build a much more destructive hydrogen warhead, capable of leveling cities."

DPRK Nuclear Warhead Designs As Presently Understood

By C. P. Vick, 2015/2016

Senior Technical & Space Policy Analyst Globalsecurity.org April 14, 2016 Derivative Nuclear Weapon Warhead Design of the DPRK: DPRK nuclear warhead designs based on DPRK supplied imagery details from the known warhead design and sizes. We have to be aware and take into account the DPRK deception and physiological warfare operations image projection at the T’aeso’ng (Tae-sung) Machine Factory. The 650 kilogram warhead mass is documented from Soviet design specifications requirement for the SS-N-6 published in Russian Federation books. It is not a small nuclear weapon being in the 600-650 kilogram range. If it is a two stage nuclear weapon design then it could potentially produce 15 kilotons according to the DPRK nuclear scientists. The No-dong-A1 utilizes the similar No-dong-B/KN-07, and KN-11 SLBM and now the Block-II KN-08 / KN-14 warhead design all reflect the 650 kilogram warhead design specification utilized in the SS-N-6. They have tested the No-dong-B and KN-11 but not to full potential range. The warhead design displayed in illustration as well as the hardware displayed suggest that the nuclear device is the design now utilized by the three common warhead designs from the SS-N-6 Soviet heritage but improved by the DPRK Soviet era trained nuclear scientists. They even described the general difference in the Soviet design verses their improved design admitting this reality in an indirect manner. The RV that is in favor is the design flown to date on the SS-N-6/KN-11 and No-dong-B. The nuclear devices depicted from the DPRK schematic illustration displayed indicate a spherical Fission weapon: implosion design technique. Some evidence of potential multi-stages thermonuclear systems may be present in the hardware design but this has yet to be determined from the existing illustrations. There is no certainty of a multi-stages IE: second or third-stage devices. The image in the poster display deserver’s special attention, and the North Koreans have given it particular focus by virtue of the way that Kim Jong-un and his entourage are carefully posed to give emphasis to the poster. No great imagination is required to notice the cylinder above the sphere that are the hallmark of a two stage implosion device, commonly known as a hydrogen bomb. Whether in fact the DPRK has such bombs on hand is a different matter, as it is obviously far easier to draw a cartoon of an H-bomb than to actually build one. But this photograph is clearly intended to encourage the belief that in fact the DPRK does have two stage devices. This image of the modern Russian nuclear warhead design above displays the as openly characterized non-spherical atomic bomb above the spherical Hydrogen bomb standard design used as publically understood. Only the indication of arming, fusing systems, gas bleed off ports, the detonation starter apparatus, separation spring loaded explosive bolts, and the implosion device are indicated though this may be in the process of being changed with additions. The thermonuclear systems and other instrumentation is not fully displayed in spite of its Soviet era known heritage. The design maybe does not show the other required components for a thermonuclear device design though there is enough room for their installation in both warhead design that have their design heritage based in Soviet era nuclear warhead designs. At best this is an incomplete view of the DPRK nuclear weapons technology. The short cylinder domed package above the spherical fission device is probably associated with the triggering start of the nuclear explosion but whether it is thermonuclear related is uncertain. It appears the inside of the RV is painted a yellow like aerospace color but that material may be associated with the thermonuclear package systems. Some insulation on the inside skin may be present. There may be some reflectors mirror like surfaces on the inside of the RV. There is a lot of wasted space inside the RV. The nuclear devices appear to be aluminum silver color. Other instrumentation appears to not be present in the design details displayed The background right side image over Kim Jung Un’s left shoulder displays the DPRK nuclear warhead design for a fission implosion weapon which could be the trigger for a thermonuclear device design. It design details is entirely consistent to the known design for nuclear weapons as displayed in the book US Nuclear Weapons by Chuck Hansen. The design may not show the other required components for a thermonuclear device. I am not as sure that the cylinder dome above the sphere is for a thermonuclear related device. It is not a sphere but is a short cylinder with a base dome. Equally the yellow colored liner area that encompasses the entire nuclear devices is perhaps some of what is required for the second and or third stage of the nuclear weapons system. The question is whether they are in fact the Lithium Deuteride or U-238 mantle optional materials but the U-235 or Pu-239 spark plug is not apparent. It is also realized the starter may be the boxes below the sphere on one side. Certainly the nuclear devices systems could be reversed in the arrangement from the expected design and still work but more mass forward is required to stabilize the spinning RV during re-entry. There are a lot of unknown’s here that must remain that way.

The First Ten Stages to the End of the World

It seems like every day the news throws up a new potential threat to the human race. Anything from the Ebola virus to a super volcano has the potential to cause catastrophic damage and turn our fragile societies upside down, leading to death and destruction at every turn. It’s important to get prepared for any oncoming apocalypse – which is why I created this handy guide! Step One – Initial Threat The majority of the western world would treat any serious initial threat with apathy. The constant inertia and bombardment through media has made a lot of people weary over news of potential doom. Any threat would initially be dealt with by scepticism from the masses. People would still post selfies of themselves at this point. Step Two – News Spreads Depending on the speed of the threat, a groundswell of real panic and first-hand accounts would have most right-thinking people in a panic. The beginning stages of mass panic would cause flights to be delayed and traffic jams. A scramble for resources at the local supermarkets ensues and large riots would form. Preachers and homeless people would claim that the end is nigh. Step Three – Media Blackout The sight of news reporters hurriedly leaving their desks screaming for their lives would be a common occurrence and news reports would ground to a halt as realisation of the oncoming threat reaches. It’s every man for himself at this point. Prisons and hospitals become deserted. Social unrest creates chaos in all the major cities. Some people, however, would still take selfies. ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA… Are you ready to turn back the clocks to the 1800’s for up to three years? Our grandfathers and great-grandfathers were the last generation to practice the basic things that we call survival skills now… WATCH THIS VIDEO and you will find many interesting things! Step Four – Global Epidemic Whatever the threat is, this is the point when the mass population dies a slow and painful death. Step Five – The Scramble for Survival The few survivors are left to pit their wits against each other. A few people band together against the threat of other dangerous folk. Anyone with weapons or transport would mow other humans down in the street. Step Six – Mass Starvation Resources are in short supply. A large proportion of those left behind don’t have the knowledge to survive. Any reserves of food are kept for the super rich who have managed to set up vaults of reserves. They would be the only people eating cereal at this point. Step Seven – Total Chaos Animal populations grow out of control. Nature would take back the city streets and the rule of mankind is all but over. Cannibals would begin to prey on their own kind. The fashion-conscious people would wear human bone jewellery and animal skins. To emphasize the chaos Tina Turner and Mel Gibson would inexplicably still be alive. Step Eight – The Last Pockets of Humanity Groups of humans in the far reaches of the world may continue to grow and survive depending on the nature of the epidemic. Basic societies would begin to form once more. Mankind might just survive… Step Nine – Weapons The difference between a modern humans starting again and our ancient ancestors is the technological advances in warfare. Could the remaining humans cope with weapons of mass destruction before any form of state and law could arise? Step Ten – Further disasters Any further environmental disasters would leave the few survivors to fend for themselves and ill equipped to do so. Knowledge and civilisation would drift away and become something of a distant memory. The remaining people would need to learn different survival skills other than taking selfies. Saving our forefathers ways starts with people like you and me actually relearning these skills and putting them to use to live better lives through good times and bad. Our answers on these lost skills comes straight from the source, from old forgotten classic books written by past generations, and from first hand witness accounts from the past few hundred years. Aside from a precious few who have gone out of their way to learn basic survival skills, most of us today would be utterly hopeless if we were plopped in the middle of a forest or jungle and suddenly forced to fend for ourselves using only the resources around us. To our ancient ancestors, we’d appear as helpless as babies. In short, our forefathers lived more simply than most people today are willing to live and that is why they survived with no grocery store, no cheap oil, no cars, no electricity, and no running water. Just like our forefathers used to do, The Lost Ways Book teaches you how you can survive in the worst-case scenario with the minimum resources available. It comes as a step-by-step guide accompanied by pictures and teaches you how to use basic ingredients to make super-food for your loved ones. Richard is a writer from Manchester who is working with the experts at snorecentre. If thoughts of the end of the world are getting you down and giving you sleepless nights, a trip to this London sleep clinic could cure you, but not from any upcoming pandemics.

Transgenders in Uniform – The US Military’s Latest Lunacy

By Ray Starmann Posted on July 21, 2016 by Ray Starmann

Welcome to 2016 when male soldiers train in pregnancy simulators, tactical lactation stations dot the battlefield, women are fraudulently passed through Ranger School and US Navy sailors willingly surrender their boats and equipment to Iranian thugs without so much as firing a flare. It’s the era of breast milk in the field and Liberace joins Delta Force… A perfect storm, a Category Five hurricane of doom and destruction is sweeping over the US military with the deadly accuracy of the Angel of Death on Passover. We have a President who is intent on destroying the military through insane social engineering. We have willing lackeys in the Pentagon from Ash Carter to Ray Mabus to the whole rotting, spineless lot of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who are all too eager to rubberstamp the lunacy. We have an American populace so separated from the military because they never served, so ignorant of the military, so clueless about combat operations, that they really believe Jill, the cute blond Tri Delt can be a Navy SEAL and Captain Bill should be able to swap spit with Captain Bob in the Bravo Company orderly room. I know. I’m being so insensitive. So politically incorrect… Guess what? Our enemies aren’t politically correct. Our enemies aren’t sensitive. Our enemies aren’t compassionate. Our enemies burn people alive, behead innocent women and children and drown dissidents. They also spend their time devising ways to destroy us. The Pentagon now spends its time trying to be diverse and sensitive to the point of irrationality and seemingly spends no time training for war these days. We’re making it easy for the Russians, the Chinese, the North Koreans, the Iranians and ISIS. We’re doing all the work. The US military is on a 24/7 Charge of the Light Brigade into oblivion. The latest absurdity and another threat to military order and discipline is the recent authorization by all around sycophant and general idiot, Ash Carter to allow transgenders, aka the mentally ill, to serve in the military. I know, I’m being insensitive again. Who am I to stop Jack, who thinks he’s Jenny, from serving. He/she/it should be afforded gender reassignment surgery courtesy of Uncle Sam, who is actually Aunt Samantha on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The loony meter is in the red right now. The Pentagon is wasting tax payer dollars and training for war time to write manuals and set up command centers for transgenders. Hey, Sarge, you got a copy of FM-001, Transgender Operations? Yeah, it’s right under the 5th Special Forces Group commander’s breast pump. Here you go… Gee, thanks sarge… Hey, sarge… What? I think I’m a woman and I’m pansexual… Fill out a DA-5670… I’ll put it in channels. We better head to PT. Suit up in your red high heels. We have to show empathy towards female rape victims this week. Don’t worry about spare parts for Marine aircraft, or the fact that no one in the US Army Armor Community knows how to run a combined arms range or qualify on a tank. We wouldn’t want to focus on military stuff when the military itself can become Obama’s Personal Freak Show. On October 1, 2016, the DoD issued DOD INSTRUCTION 1300.28 IN-SERVICE TRANSITION FOR TRANSGENDER SERVICE MEMBERS. The 15 page directive was cleared for public distribution and is available online at: http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives . Here are some highlights from what can only be described as 15 pages of unadulterated insanity: DoD and the Military Departments will institute policies to provide Service members a process by which, while serving, they may transition gender. Service members with a diagnosis from a military medical provider indicating that gender transition is medically necessary, will be provided medical care and treatment for the diagnosed medical condition. Why in God’s name would gender transition be a medical necessity? Is someone going to drop dead because they can’t get female hormone injections to grow boobs? Is it a matter of life or death if Private Jane Smith doesn’t get an artificial penis in the next 90 days? Recommendations of a military medical provider will address the severity of the Service member’s medical condition and the urgency of any proposed medical treatment. The only thing that is severe is the level of mental illness the soldier, sailor, airman or Marine is suffering for wanting to change genders. Commanders will assess expected impacts on mission and readiness after consideration of the advice of military medical providers and will address such impacts in accordance with this issuance. Of course it’s going to affect readiness. Men running around a military base in dresses usually puts a damper on military operations. The whole subject is a walking, talking gigantic distraction from military readiness. Then again, the Obama White House and the Ash Carter Pentagon is a distraction from military readiness. SECRETARIES OF THE MILITARY DEPARTMENTS AND COMMANDANT, UNITED STATES COAST GUARD (USCG). The Secretaries of the Military Departments and the Commandant, USCG: Establish a Service Central Coordination Cell (SCCC) to provide multi-disciplinary (e.g., medical, legal, military personnel management) expert advice and assistance to commanders with regard to service by transgender Service members and gender transition in the military and to assist commanders in the execution of DoD, Military Department, and Service policies and procedures. More wasted time and tax payer money. Apparently, the SCCC is now the military’s command center for transgender nonsense. The military now has a whole command focusing on this garbage. Gender transition while serving in the military presents unique challenges associated with addressing the needs of the Service member in a manner consistent with military mission and readiness. Living in Preferred Gender. Real Life Experience (RLE) is the phase in the gender transition process during which the individual commences living socially in the gender role consistent with their preferred gender. Although in civilian life this phase is generally categorized by living and working full-time in the preferred gender, consistent application of military standards will normally require that RLE occur in an off-duty status and away from the Service member’s place of duty, prior to the change of a gender marker in DEERS. So, basically Sergeant Dan will be a man by day in the Marines and off duty hang out as a chick at the local bar and grill. Okay…How is he going to deploy if needed, as a man or woman or as a hybrid? Military Readiness. Unique to military service, the commander is responsible and accountable for the overall readiness of his or her command. The commander is also responsible for the collective morale and welfare and good order and discipline of the unit, the command climate, and for ensuring that all members of the command are treated with dignity and respect. What readiness? What morale? What good order and discipline? The Pentagon’s authorization to allow transgenders to serve in uniform is the height of political correctness, leftist irrationality and complete stupidity. Those suffering from gender dysphoria are mentally ill. Allowing transgenders to serve is just another social engineering project that is contributing to the demise of the US military and its eventual destruction on a future field of battle.

Footage Captures Man Accused Of Building Chemical Weapon Inside Walmart Store

July 20, 2016 11:23 PM

OXNARD (CBSLA.com) — Dramatic video has been released of a man who police say stands accused of building a chemical weapon inside a Walmart store in Oxnard. The man wearing all black is initially seen in the security footage from June 18 blending in like any other shopper. But, authorities say, he didn’t come to the store to shop, but to build a chemical weapon. “This is a very bizarre case,” said Eric Sonstegard, the Oxnard assistant police chief. Detectives identified the suspect as Martin Reyes. They say he went to the store after conducting research online on how to build a deadly chemical weapon. Once inside the store, police said the man assembled all of the ingredients from store shelves, which included some kind of electronic appliance. Police said he used a socket near the stationary section to plug in the appliance, which was then designed to set the chemical weapon off. “This device could have caused a lot of harm,” Sonstegard said. Store employees noticed Reyes, and the weapon and called 911. Everyone inside the store was evacuated. Customers who are just now learning about the incident are shaken. “It’s scary. This is only my second time at this Walmart. And with what’s happening today, it’s scary,” said Yvonne Railey, a shopper. “I would have freaked out. But it doesn’t surprise me,” said another shopper. Oxnard detectives utilizing evidence at the scene and security video tracked down Reyes Tuesday. He was already behind bars on unrelated charges. “He ended up admitting the entire thing and basically telling them how he created the device,” Sonstegard said. Police said the suspect is mentally unstable and described him as a “career criminal.” A motive for the incident is unknown.

America Sitting On 'Powderkeg' As World's Eyes Turn To Philadelphia - Did Hillary Have A Seizure Or Did They Turn Her Into A 'Bobblehead'?

Only Trump Stands Between Americans And Hillary 'Fun Camps' In Our Future

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

With the Republican National Convention having gone off without a hitch, the attention of America and the world turn to Philadelphia and the 'coronation' of 'queen' Hillary Clinton. While Donald Trump at the RNC brought 'unity' to a 'new' Republican party and America, we see in this story from the Washington Times that Hillary Clinton is already bringing division, inviting families of blacks killed by police to speak at the upcoming Democratic convention while neglecting to allow families of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty by racist blacks who hate whites and cops to speak. We also take a look below at a bizarre new video which some believe shows Hillary having some kind of a seizure after being startled by a series of questions about her possible vice presidential candidate. While this may or may not show Hillary having a seizure, it certainly provides more questions about her health and her fitness to lead America. Much more below including a look at the DNC in Philadelphia and warnings from one police commissioner that America is a nation 'sitting on a powderkeg' as the 'Bernie or bust' backers head to Philadelphia. As we hear from John McNesby, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 5 in Philadelphia, the union is 'shocked and saddened' by Hillary Clinton's choice of speakers at the DNC. While allowing relatives of Michael Brown and Eric Garner to speak, relatives of LEO's killed in Dallas and Baton Rouge will not be among the speakers. Why not Hillary? Are dedicated public servants brutally murdered in the line of duty by those who you support (BLM) not part of your 'agenda'? “The Fraternal Order of Police is insulted and will not soon forget that the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton are excluding the widows and other family members of police officers killed in the line of duty who were victims of explicit and not implied racism,” Mr. McNesby said in a statement. He said it’s “sad that to win an election Mrs. Clinton must pander to the interests of people who do not know all the facts, while the men and women they seek to destroy are outside protecting the political institutions of this country. “Mrs. Clinton, you should be ashamed of yourself, if that is possible.” The Clinton campaign has scheduled former President Bill Clinton to speak Tuesday night with members of Mothers of the Movement, a group that includes relatives of black men killed by police such as Eric Garner of New York and Michael Brown of Ferguson, Missouri. Former Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey, who said the nation is a “powder keg” over the police-involved shootings and assassinations of officers, is also scheduled to speak. The Police Union in Philadelphia is just the latest group to join the 'pile on' Hillary as we read in this story from Vanity Fair and hear in the next video below, former Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson has 'doubled-down' on the Clinton/Lucifer connection and warned that Hillary is an 'agent of evil'. Ripping apart Hillary and her long-standing connection to Saul Alinsky, Carson makes the case for us that Hillary is one very bad apple. Should America “elect someone as president who has as their role model somebody who acknowledges Lucifer?" In the 2nd video below we get to hear New Jersey governor Chris Christie's epic shellacking of Clinton at the RNC where he lays out a very good case of why Hillary should be wearing stripes rather than running for the highest office in the land. Interestingly enough, with even movie producer Oliver Stone recently warning that "Pokemon Go" IS 'totalitarianism' as shared in this story from CBS News, as we hear in the final video below directly from Hillary's mouth, Hillary wishes that the developers of the viral 'Pokemon Go FEMA Camp app' would invent a "Pokemon-Go-To-The-Polls" and her completely clueless audience eats up every word she says. Hillary 'fun camps' anyone? As we reported back in March of 2015 on ANP, Clinton HAS called for 're-education' camps for Americans who don't fall for the globalists 'new world order' agenda. It's clear that we've now reached the point where it'll either be Clinton or Trump leading America in 2017 should Obama's blm-crew be unsuccessful at getting him to declare martial law and suspend the elections. All that Hillary gives us here is another great reason to vote Trump in November.

Turkish military vows to 'severely' punish coup soldiers

Iran Press TV Sun Jul 24, 2016 3:15PM

Turkey's military chief says the soldiers involved in the abortive coup of mid-July will face "the most severe punishment." Hulusi Akar, the chief of the General Staff of Turkey's armed forces, made the remark on Sunday during a visit to the Turkish Interior Ministry in the capital Ankara to inspect the damage caused during the coup attempt. The military chief is also scheduled to meet with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. "These cowards in uniform, these traitors have inflicted great damage on our nation and especially on our army," General Akar stated. About 300 police officers and nearly 3,650 soldiers have been detained on charges of having a hand in the failed coup. The putsch began overnight on July 15, when a faction of the Turkish military declared it was in control of the country and the Ankara administration was no more in charge. Tanks, helicopters and soldiers then clashed with police and people on the streets of the capital and Istanbul. The coup was gradually suppressed by military forces and people loyal to Erdogan. More than 300 people were killed from both sides, many of them on July 16. A sweeping wave of arrests engulfed the Anatolian country in the wake of the abortive coup. President Erdogan says the death toll from the coup attempt has risen to 246 people, excluding the coup plotters. Tens of thousands of soldiers, security officers, judges, prosecutors, civil servants and academics suspected of being connected to the Gulen movement have been detained or suspended from their jobs following the putsch. Fethullah Gulen, the US-based cleric, has been accused by Ankara of orchestrating the coup attempt. He "categorically" rejects the claim. Ankara has also launched a large-scale crackdown following the coup attempt. On July 21, the Turkish parliament approved a bill declaring a state of emergency, which allows Ankara to bypass the legislature in adopting new laws. In a pre-recorded address broadcast on the national television on Saturday, President Erdogan said that so far, 934 schools, 109 student dorms, 15 universities, 104 foundations, 1,125 charity organization, 35 health institutes and 19 unions have been shut down amid the government's crackdown on those believed to have played a role in the failed putsch.

World War III is on the horizon, Russian and Chinese both nations have been systematically strengthening and updating their strategic forces to strike USA

July 25, 2016

World War III is on the horizon, Russian and Chinese both nations have been systematically strengthening and updating their strategic forces to strike US global dominance. China wants to develop floating nuclear power plants — and it’s joining forces with Russia to make it happen. The latter has already laid out ambitious plans for the unproven concept, but has been smacked with setbacks and cost overruns. While China may hold a big enough checkbook to see development through, some may wonder if offshore nuclear holds a place in the future of atomic energy, especially with novel and seemingly more feasible designs being pursued by General Electric Company , Babcock & Wilcox, and even Bill Gates. While floating nuclear power plants seem outrageous enough to most, the prospects of Russia and China finding common ground for a massive energy deal seemed exponentially slim just one year ago. Yet, despite a relatively shaky energy relationship in recent years, the two countries have been cozying up since late spring when a $400 billion natural gas supply deal was finalized. Less than three months later the pair is extending its reach to offshore nuclear power. Apparently, the abundant energy reserves and know-how of Russia and the choking population and air of China were all the common ground needed to forge a deal. Russia has plans of its own before China gets involved. Nuclear leader Rosatom aims to deploy the world’s first floating nuclear power plant in Russia’s eastern city of Vilyuchinsk in 2018. The facility will have two nuclear reactors, each about 35 MWe, and sport a planned lifetime of 38 years — roughly in line with traditional nuclear facilities. However, the floating facility will be built on a massive barge and moored to the shoreline, which will inevitably forfeit some of the major safety advantages of a floating facility in the first place. Russia and China both consider the United States to be their number one geopolitical threat, and both nations have been systematically strengthening and updating their strategic forces. At the end of last month, Russia held a large-scale military drill that involved the launch of four nuclear missiles, and the Chinese government released a major report for the public which included maps showing what would happen to major U.S. cities in the event of a nuclear attack by Chinese submarines. Obama may blindly believe that wishful thinking and unilateral disarmament will keep the United States safe, but Russia and China are taking a much different path. Both of them believe that a military conflict with the United States in the future is quite likely, and they are rapidly preparing for that eventuality. The effect has been to destroy the trust between nuclear powers. The Russian government has learned that Washington does not respect Washington’s own laws, much less international law, and that Washington cannot be trusted to keep any agreement. This lack of trust, together with the aggression toward Russia spewing from Washington and the presstitute media and echoing in the idiotic European capitals, has established the ground for nuclear war. As NATO (essentially the US) has no prospect of defeating Russia in conventional war, much less defeating an alliance of Russia and China, war will be nuclear. To avoid war, Putin is non-provocative and low-key in his responses to Western provocations. Putin’s responsible behavior, however, is misinterpreted by neoconervatives as a sign of weakness and fear. The neoconservatives tell President Obama to keep the pressure on Russia, and Russia will give in. However, Putin has made it clear that Russia will not give in. Putin has sent this message on many occasions. For example, on September 28, 2015, at the 70th anniversary of the United Nations, Putin said that Russia can no longer tolerate the state of affairs in the world. Two days later Putin took command of the war against ISIS in Syria. The European governments, especially Germany and the UK, are complicit in the move toward nuclear war. These two American vassal states enable Washington’s reckless aggression toward Russia by repeating Washington’s propaganda and supporting Washington’s sanctions and interventions against other countries. As long as Europe remains nothing but an extension of Washington, the prospect of Armegeddon will continue to rise. At this point in time, nuclear war can only be avoided in two ways. One way is for Russia and China to surrender and accept Washington’s hegemony. The other way is for an independent leader in Germany, the UK, or France to rise to office and withdraw from NATO. That would begin a stampede to leave NATO, which is Washington’s prime tool for causing conflict with Russia and, thereby, is the most dangerous force on earth to every European country and to the entire world. If NATO continues to exist, NATO together with the neoconservative ideology of American hegemony will make nuclear war inevitable. The risk of possible nuclear war should give world leaders serious concern about allying with America’s potentially catastrophic imperial agenda. A 3rd world war is likely to deteriorate into nuclear conflict; the initial aggressor being subjected to almost total destruction. There’s no way to ‘win’. I highly recommend you to watch this free survival video that reveals the most important skills that will actually keep you alive in any situation.

Miracle: Keep Satan out

Written by Malita Wamala Created: 20 July 2016

I recently caught the tail ending of a teaching by Pastor Benny Hinn on TV, on the subject ‘how demons enter our bodies’. He listed seven ways, but I missed the first five and caught him talking about ‘fear’ and ‘markings on our bodies’, such as tattoos. He was stumbling all over himself as he taught about the markings, saying he was sure he was losing friends after that sermon. Who could blame his discomfort dealing with the issue, seeing as tattoos are a big part of Western culture and business now? But it is true, these markings can be a strong gateway for demonic attacks. I once witnessed a deliverance session in my church, where the lady in question could not get away from her oppressors. No matter where she went, they would track her down within hours and start tormenting her afresh. I can never forget how one day after days of deliverance prayers, my pastor asked her as the Spirit of God led him, whether she had any tattoos on her body. She revealed two beautiful ones. The pastor anointed the tattoos directly, and I was so shocked by her violent reaction. The lady screamed and writhed in pain, saying the tattooed spots felt like they were on fire. It turned out, her oppressors (both physical and spiritual) were using those tattoos as ‘tracking devices’ in the spirit realm. Indeed, when they were disabled with prayer (she later vowed to remove them completely using laser treatment) her total breakthrough came and, among other things, God healed her of leukaemia and her doctors here and in Nairobi confirmed it and discontinued treatment, yet they had given her seven months to live. It was such a big learning curve for me. Pastor Hinn supported his teaching from Leviticus 21:1-6 and Leviticus 19:28. I just wanted to share that experience as validation of his bold declaration. While I may have missed the beginnings of his sermon, I know that doubt/unbelief, inequities and prayerlessness are other ways demons can have access to our bodies and start a chain of torment. We have to deal with these things in order to break a chain of suffering and oppression often brought upon us through us, by us! Renounce these things like Hinn advised, and repent, for 2 Timothy 2:26 and Proverbs 28:13 to make sense in your life. Hope you get time to read the scriptures above. malita@observer.ug

Monumental Collapse of America: Greatest Empire in History Falling (Videos)

By Voice of Reason · Sunday, July 24th, 2016

Back in October, Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced at the United Nations that her office would be working in several American cities to form what she called the Strong Cities Network (SCN), a law enforcement initiative that would encompass the globe. At the time, immediately following Lynch’s announcement, Pam Geller wrote in Brietbart that the Strong Cities Network is nothing more than euphemism for a “global police force.” Furthermore, it’s a global police force that Geller says: “Amounts to nothing less than the overriding of American laws, up to and including the United States Constitution, in favor of United Nations laws that would henceforth be implemented in the United States itself – without any consultation of Congress at all.” At this point, let’s clear up some facts: 1) The United Nations is a sharia-compliant world body, and sharia law is 100% incompatible with the U.S. Constitution. Period. There is no debate; 2) The U.S. already has law enforcement. We have the FBI (the ones not on the Clinton payroll anyway), the CIA, Federal Marshals, State, City, and local law enforcement, and countless other alphabet soup agencies; 3) Obama's assertion that “violent extremism” is not exclusive to Islam is patently FALSE! NEWS: When Obama Suspends 2016 Election, a Guide to Survive Martial Law (Videos) According to a Department of Defense Training Manual obtained in a lawsuit by Judicial Watch, Obama's Defense Department claims the most serious threats to the U.S. come from extreme right-wing’ terrorists, defined as “Americans who are ‘reverent of individual liberty,’ those who are ‘suspicious of centralized federal authority,’ and those who honor “states’ rights.” Perhaps I missed something, but can anyone name any incidents where extreme right-wing’ terrorists set fire to a little girl for wearing lipstick, filmed while they cut the heads off Christians, or have been caught carrying out live 'crucifixions?” I didn't think so. More Obama lies. In the following video made by YouTube’s Jason A, listen to the words of Loretta Lynch and Sasha Havlicek before New York City Mayor and devout Marxist, Comrade de Blasio, explains how the new Strong Cities Network will be “unlike anything else we’ve ever seen before…” Do you know what it will be "unlike anything we’ve ever seen before?" Because it originated in the United Nations, not the United States, and the United States is a sovereign constitutional republic, not a puppet of Obama, the New World Order, or the United Nations.

Ted Cruz met with Obama prior to RNC, Endorses Hillary, Rick Perry set to Destroy Cruz

Posted by EU Times on Jul 24th, 2016 // 14 Comments

Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz met with Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi just days before the Republican National Convention, allegedly to talk about the police murders that are taking place around the country at the hands of the BLM movement and attend the memorial service to honor the five fallen officers in Dallas. The meeting was kept top secret and virtually no mainstream media reported about this bizarre meeting between Barack Obama and Ted Cruz despite being photographed by the renowned Associated Press news agency. Only local small news outlets reported on this meeting, sites like The Dallas Morning News for example, but where’s FOX News on this? CNN, MSNBC, ABC? Anyone big? Obama gave Ted Cruz a ride in his presidential plane Air Force One all the way from Washington DC to Dallas, Texas to attend the memorial service of Black Lives Matter slain police officers. Why would Ted Cruz go with Barack Obama, his supposed nemesis and number one enemy of the country? Almost the entire Republican Party is now angry at Ted Cruz for his Judas betrayal of Donald Trump and call for voting on Hillary Clinton! Thanks to Lyin’ Judas Cruz, Hillary Clinton is now laughing like a witch full of satisfaction and is overusing Ted Cruz’s words: “Ted Cruz Was Right About Trump, Vote Your Conscience“. According to some RNC insiders, Ted Cruz’s official speech included a much friendlier message for the Republican Party and for the Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump but then he pulled out of his pocket another speech. He ignored the teleprompters and read a different speech. This was all a big set up that he probably conspired with Obama and Pelosi while on board Air Force One. Texas Republicans and Rick Perry are preparing to End Ted Cruz’s political career According to some exclusive reports, Republicans are so angry at Ted Cruz, that the former three term Governor of Texas, Rick Perry is now considering to run for the US Senate in a bid to stop the traitorous bastard Ted Cruz from getting re-elected. On top of those reports, Texas radio host Alex Jones has also claimed to have privately interviewed Congressman John Carter talking about Ted Cruz being done and being replaced by Rick Perry for not endorsing Donald Trump. Congressman John Carter also told Alex Jones that Ted Cruz isn’t a true Texan because Texans always keep their word, referring to the early primary pledge which was not honored by Cruz. Mr. Carter told Alex that Ted Cruz should go back to Canada! We’re not really fond of Rick Perry either BUT he is milk and honey when compared to the venomous snake Ted Cruz. At least Rick Perry is hated by the Bush family which is a good sign, while Ted Cruz on the other hand is loved by the Bushes. These reports may be false or true and we can’t guarantee anything but if Rick Perry doesn’t make a public announcement soon that he is running for US Senate then he either changed his mind or all these reports about Rick Perry’s Senate run were false. Rick Perry harshly slammed Ted Cruz, saying: Me and most conservatives are outraged at Ted, who has done nothing in the Senate aside from advancing his failed Presidential campaign. He continued that anyone who does not want to sign on to help Trump is helping presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s race for the White House. “You’re putting someone who’s going to be [Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader] Ginsburg’s clone on the Supreme Court,” Perry said. “Go explain that to your conservative friends.” Perry noted that he also did not become the nominee, and that Donald Trump defeated several other candidates to get the nod. “If you don’t want to support him that’s your call, but this country is way more important than any one individual,” said the former governor. “I don”t get it.” Now, with this story we conclude that Trump was right all along about Lyin’ Ted. He truly is the scum of the earth. Depending how you put it and how you arrange all the information you now know about Lyin’ Ted, it is now official or unofficial that LYIN’ TED CRUZ has endorsed Hillary Clinton and his political career with the Republican Party has just ended. His new political career as a Democrat may start soon… who knows? Ted Cruz has been in the news quite often lately even if only in a negative light, he still stole Trump’s time. This must be precisely what he wants. Trump’s attention and the mainstream media attention to be focused on him rather than on Hillary Clinton. He wants to divert some of the Clinton bashing to himself, acting like a shield. Therefore this is the last story we will publish on this clown unless he’s turning to an ISIS terrorist and starts blowing up stuff, we will completely ignore him from now on. Our attention will now be focused on Crooked Hillary Clinton. We need to take down the evil witch.

Black Lives Matter: Muslims & Marxists Agitating For A Civil War & Revolution?

Brannon explains why he believes their goal is guerrilla warfare in American inner cities that leads to a Marxist & Muslim revolution. The Black Panthers, Nation of Islam, CAIR, and Black Lives Matter are all united in their hatred of America, hatred of capitalism, hatred of Christianity, and how they desire revolution. Brannon will read from FBI reports going back to the 1960s that reveal the tactics we are seeing in 2016 are right out of the Communist/Marxist playbook. Topic: Did you know that while Campaigning for president Obama appeared with and marched with the Black Panthers? Do you know the worldview of the Black Panthers? Topic: Attorney General Eric Holder refused to prosecute the Black Panthers for voter intimidation and was even involed in giving a pardon to Weather Underground members that the FBI declared terrorists for their war on America and police. Topic: Muslims and Marxists have infiltrated the American governments at high levels and many of them are agitating for conflict in order to blame it on Capitalism. Brannon explains the connection between communism, black lives matter & murder of cops. The murder of cops today goes back to communists, Students for a Democratic Society or SDS and the weather underground of the 1960s and 1970s and their goal of a Communist revolution in America. Topic: Five Dallas police officers are murdered and 7 are injured in a shooting while they were protecting Black Lives Matter protestors. Topic: Communists hate local police under local control but love a police state. Doubt me? Read their writings & praise of Cuba & former USSR. Topic: Four Communist stages of revolution

The Marxist Lesbians who Founded #BlackLivesMatter

By Doug Book, editor

“BLM is a gay group. It was started by two lesbians and its most prominent spokesman is a gay man.” Of course Ann Coulter’s revelation of the homosexual/lesbian/queer/bi-sexual/transsexual bent of #BlackLivesMatter Founders and VIPs may not apply to Charles Wade, BLM activist and Co-Founder of Operation Help or Hush, the organization which attempted to posthumously transform Ferguson thug Michael Brown into an abused Teddy Bear. Wade was arrested in College Park, Maryland this past April for sex trafficking—that is, pimping—a 17 year old girl in the motel where he was staying. No doubt Wade was raising funds for the cause. The first of the BLM founders, Alicia Garza, states that she created #BlackLivesMatter as “…an online platform…designed to connect people interested in learning more about and fighting back against anti-Black racism.” And it is anti-black racism only which occupies Garza’s interest. In fact, when it was suggested that AllLivesMatter (hashtag optional) replace #BlackLivesMatter during a particular event, Garza would have none of it, writing that: “When we deploy “All Lives Matter” as to correct an intervention specifically created to address anti-blackness…we lose the ways in which the state apparatus has built a program of genocide and repression mostly on the backs of Black people…” “We perpetuate a level of White supremacist domination by reproducing a tired trope that we are all the same, rather than acknowledging that non-Black oppressed people in this country are both impacted by racism and domination, and simultaneously, BENEFIT from anti-black racism.” In short, as only Blacks are really, really oppressed, it only perpetuates White domination to suggest that people-even other minorities-are in any way all the same. In fact, because there is SO much anti-Black racism, even when non-Black groups are oppressed, they still BENEFIT from the oppression of Blacks. Professor Gregory Jay of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has decided that America will only see the end of racism when there is a “complete abolition of whiteness.” If Alicia believes that everyone benefits from the oppression of blacks, even others who are oppressed, it looks as though she might agree with Professor Jay; that is, only when whiteness itself is gone will everything be made better. Quite a tolerant lady. Garza is on the Board of Directors for the School of Unity and Liberation (SOUL) in Oakland, California. The curriculum at SOUL includes, in part, the following (from the Education for Liberation network): 1) Lynchings in America 2) Hip-Hop Research Portal (Monographs, Periodicals, Theses and Dissertations, Bibliographies, Discographies, Audio/Visuals, Encyclopedias and Dictionaries relating to hip hop culture. 3) Children's Storybooks on the Arab World (Bibliography of books with positive images of Arabs.) First rate preparation for tomorrow’s racists, community organizers and mindless activists. BLM’s other principle founder is Patrisse Cullors who assumed the role of head cheerleader during the July, 2015 Black Lives Matter mob takeover of a NetRoots Nation Presidential Town Hall in Phoenix, Arizona. Ms Cullor’s exchange with the eager mob consisted (in part) of: “If I die in police custody don’t believe the hype, I was murdered! Protect my family! Indict the system! Shut that shit down! If I die in police custody. Avenge my death! By any means necessary! If I die in police custody burn everything down! Because no building is worth more than my life! And that’s the only way motherfuckers like you listen. If I die in police custody make sure I’m the last person to die in police custody by any means necessary! If I die in police custody do not hold a moment of silence for me! Rise the fuck up! Because your silence is killing us!” Also included in the back and forth between BLM activists and the attending crowd were “burn everything down,” “shut this shit down,” and “rise the fuck up.” Oddly enough, all of this was ignored by the mainstream media. In fact, Breitbart contributor Lee Stranahan noticed that “even though the horde of screamers [was] surrounded by [network news] cameras, there has been no public criticism of Cullors and her followers shouting ‘burn everything down,’ nor any calls for her to apologize for her group’s offensive statements.” One of the heroines of the BLM founders is convicted cop killer Assata Shakur who escaped from prison in 1979 and has been living under asylum in Cuba ever since. Of course, the Castro government has refused to extradite Shakur (Joanne Deborah Chesimard) to the United States. This BLM exemplar “…continues to maintain and promote her terrorist ideology. She provides anti-U.S.-government speeches, espousing the Black Liberation Army's message of revolution and terrorism." I hope everyone has enjoyed and learned from this brief primer concerning the principle founders of #BlackLivesMatter. A lesbian--or rather, Queer--based organization has been transformed into yet another foundation for use by Islamist killers.

CNN Reporter 'Slammed To Floor' By Wide-Awake Trump Voter - Reporter Walks Away With Tail Between His Legs - Did You See This On The 'Clinton News Network'? We Didn't Think So

DNC Censors 'White' From Red, White And Blue To Avoid 'Triggering' Voters!

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die July 24, 2016

Every once in a while we come across a video which so perfectly tells us the 'mood of the rapidly-awakening American people' that we have to put it out on ANP and the 1st two videos below are two such videos. When a Donald Trump supporter in Cleveland was recently asked WHY he supported 'racist' Donald Trump, he proceeded to metaphorically SLAM the "clinton news network" reporter to the floor as heard in the outstanding 1st video below. Holding absolutely no punches back, he proceeds to give cnn the mental shellacking that every Bernie Sanders supporter and potential hitlery voter needs to see and hear. He begins: "I'm out here making sure that I show my support for Donald Trump and I'm fighting back against people like 'black lives matter', which CNN supports, along with the hillary clinton foundation and bill clinton foundation, the traitors to this country." Cnn reporter: "What do you think about the fact that 'white supremacists' support Donald Trump?" Wide Awake American: "It doesn't matter. That's their right to free speech. I'm sick of this racial divide and cnn is perfect at doing that. It's always divide and conquer. People have the right to choose whatever they want. What the hell does that (question) have to do with Donald Trump. He's not a racist. I'm sick of that. It's a scam. And I know this is not going to get on cnn. We're sick of you media. Trump is not a racist. It's the media that gives us that perception. You see, the democratic party, they always control the black people. It's a plantation. As long as they are on the mammary glands of America sucking down their food stamps and getting their welfare, they're not dreaming for the stars. Society is killing the 'American' dream with their globalism. To hell with globalism because globalism takes away America's wealth." When the cnn reporter is asked soon after if the 'black panthers' support barack obama, he sulks away with his tail quite obviously hidden between his legs. While this video only shows us one American and gives us only his opinion, we see that America is very rapidly awakening to the lies of the mainstream media that Trump is a 'racist'. Of course Trump isn't a racist, he only wants to put America first and not the needs of the globalists who have been working to destroy America for a very, very long time. If ANYONE running for president is racist, this story proves it's hillary clinton who has called disabled children 'ree-tards' and called Jews 'k***s' while billy-bob clinton himself dropped the 'N'-word on Jesse Jackson.

In the 2nd video below, we hear all about the "Latino's For Trump" group that is completely destroying another msm narrative as the globalists attempts to completely divide Americans along racial divisions continues to fall apart. As we hear in the final video below, with prozac, binkies and diapers descending upon the 'city of brotherly love', the democratic national convention in Philadelphia is on the verge of breaking down in absolute hillarity as they've censored 'white' from 'red, white and blue' to avoid triggering their voters. Telling us that the dems have changed the 'white' section to 'Ashburn Alley' leads us to ask, has the left gone completely insane? As Susan Duclos has previously reported on ANP, we are getting more and more signs that 'special snowflakes' are being weaponized to stifle debate and the dnc could quickly break down into absolute chaos with potentially 50,000 or more angry Bernie Sanders supporters planning on crashing 'queen hitlery's' coronation party. With the fallout from Wikileaks already putting a major damper on hitlery's parade, we see that the entire democratic party is now in self-destruct mode. With 'queen hitlery' obviously suffering from brain damage or something possibly even worse as Susan also pointed out in this recent story on ANP, it may now be the time for those still sitting on the Bernie Sanders train to switch over to the 'Trump-train' before it leaves the next station. Of course, if you want a hateful, racist 'war criminal' for president who has a body count following her around, you can always vote hitlery. (I will no longer Capitalize the 1st or last names of globalist war criminals or those who support them within my stories on ANP.)

The Really Big One: The next rupture of the Cascadia subduction zone will spell the worst natural disaster in the history of the continent

By Strange Sounds - Jul 24, 2016

An earthquake will destroy a sizable portion of the coastal Northwest.

The question is when. And keep in mind: The next full-margin rupture of the Cascadia subduction zone will spell the worst natural disaster in the history of the continent. When the 2011 earthquake and tsunami struck Tohoku, Japan, Chris Goldfinger was two hundred miles away, in the city of Kashiwa, at an international meeting on seismology. As the shaking started, everyone in the room began to laugh. Earthquakes are common in Japan—that one was the third of the week—and the participants were, after all, at a seismology conference. Then everyone in the room checked the time. Seismologists know that how long an earthquake lasts is a decent proxy for its magnitude. The 1989 earthquake in Loma Prieta, California, which killed sixty-three people and caused six billion dollars’ worth of damage, lasted about fifteen seconds and had a magnitude of 6.9. A thirty-second earthquake generally has a magnitude in the mid-sevens. A minute-long quake is in the high sevens, a two-minute quake has entered the eights, and a three-minute quake is in the high eights. By four minutes, an earthquake has hit magnitude 9.0. When Goldfinger looked at his watch, it was quarter to three. The conference was wrapping up for the day. He was thinking about sushi. The speaker at the lectern was wondering if he should carry on with his talk. The earthquake was not particularly strong. Then it ticked past the sixty-second mark, making it longer than the others that week. The shaking intensified. The seats in the conference room were small plastic desks with wheels. Goldfinger, who is tall and solidly built, thought, No way am I crouching under one of those for cover. At a minute and a half, everyone in the room got up and went outside. It was March. There was a chill in the air, and snow flurries, but no snow on the ground. Nor, from the feel of it, was there ground on the ground. The earth snapped and popped and rippled. It was, Goldfinger thought, like driving through rocky terrain in a vehicle with no shocks, if both the vehicle and the terrain were also on a raft in high seas. The quake passed the two-minute mark. The trees, still hung with the previous autumn’s dead leaves, were making a strange rattling sound. The flagpole atop the building he and his colleagues had just vacated was whipping through an arc of forty degrees. The building itself was base-isolated, a seismic-safety technology in which the body of a structure rests on movable bearings rather than directly on its foundation. Goldfinger lurched over to take a look. The base was lurching, too, back and forth a foot at a time, digging a trench in the yard. He thought better of it, and lurched away. His watch swept past the three-minute mark and kept going. Oh, shit, Goldfinger thought, although not in dread, at first: in amazement. For decades, seismologists had believed that Japan could not experience an earthquake stronger than magnitude 8.4. In 2005, however, at a conference in Hokudan, a Japanese geologist named Yasutaka Ikeda had argued that the nation should expect a magnitude 9.0 in the near future—with catastrophic consequences, because Japan’s famous earthquake-and-tsunami preparedness, including the height of its sea walls, was based on incorrect science. The presentation was met with polite applause and thereafter largely ignored. Now, Goldfinger realized as the shaking hit the four-minute mark, the planet was proving the Japanese Cassandra right. For a moment, that was pretty cool: a real-time revolution in earthquake science. Almost immediately, though, it became extremely uncool, because Goldfinger and every other seismologist standing outside in Kashiwa knew what was coming. One of them pulled out a cell phone and started streaming videos from the Japanese broadcasting station NHK, shot by helicopters that had flown out to sea soon after the shaking started. Thirty minutes after Goldfinger first stepped outside, he watched the tsunami roll in, in real time, on a two-inch screen. In the end, the magnitude-9.0 Tohoku earthquake and subsequent tsunami killed more than eighteen thousand people, devastated northeast Japan, triggered the meltdown at the Fukushima power plant, and cost an estimated two hundred and twenty billion dollars. The shaking earlier in the week turned out to be the foreshocks of the largest earthquake in the nation’s recorded history. But for Chris Goldfinger, a paleoseismologist at Oregon State University and one of the world’s leading experts on a little-known fault line, the main quake was itself a kind of foreshock: a preview of another earthquake still to come. Most people in the United States know just one fault line by name: the San Andreas, which runs nearly the length of California and is perpetually rumored to be on the verge of unleashing “the big one.” That rumor is misleading, no matter what the San Andreas ever does. Every fault line has an upper limit to its potency, determined by its length and width, and by how far it can slip. For the San Andreas, one of the most extensively studied and best understood fault lines in the world, that upper limit is roughly an 8.2—a powerful earthquake, but, because the Richter scale is logarithmic, only six per cent as strong as the 2011 event in Japan. Just north of the San Andreas, however, lies another fault line. Known as the Cascadia subduction zone, it runs for seven hundred miles off the coast of the Pacific Northwest, beginning near Cape Mendocino, California, continuing along Oregon and Washington, and terminating around Vancouver Island, Canada. The “Cascadia” part of its name comes from the Cascade Range, a chain of volcanic mountains that follow the same course a hundred or so miles inland. The “subduction zone” part refers to a region of the planet where one tectonic plate is sliding underneath (subducting) another. Tectonic plates are those slabs of mantle and crust that, in their epochs-long drift, rearrange the earth’s continents and oceans. Most of the time, their movement is slow, harmless, and all but undetectable. Occasionally, at the borders where they meet, it is not. Take your hands and hold them palms down, middle fingertips touching. Your right hand represents the North American tectonic plate, which bears on its back, among other things, our entire continent, from One World Trade Center to the Space Needle, in Seattle. Your left hand represents an oceanic plate called Juan de Fuca, ninety thousand square miles in size. The place where they meet is the Cascadia subduction zone. Now slide your left hand under your right one. That is what the Juan de Fuca plate is doing: slipping steadily beneath North America. When you try it, your right hand will slide up your left arm, as if you were pushing up your sleeve. That is what North America is not doing. It is stuck, wedged tight against the surface of the other plate. Without moving your hands, curl your right knuckles up, so that they point toward the ceiling. Under pressure from Juan de Fuca, the stuck edge of North America is bulging upward and compressing eastward, at the rate of, respectively, three to four millimetres and thirty to forty millimetres a year. It can do so for quite some time, because, as continent stuff goes, it is young, made of rock that is still relatively elastic. (Rocks, like us, get stiffer as they age.) But it cannot do so indefinitely. There is a backstop—the craton, that ancient unbudgeable mass at the center of the continent—and, sooner or later, North America will rebound like a spring. If, on that occasion, only the southern part of the Cascadia subduction zone gives way—your first two fingers, say—the magnitude of the resulting quake will be somewhere between 8.0 and 8.6. That’s the big one. If the entire zone gives way at once, an event that seismologists call a full-margin rupture, the magnitude will be somewhere between 8.7 and 9.2. That’s the very big one. Flick your right fingers outward, forcefully, so that your hand flattens back down again. When the next very big earthquake hits, the northwest edge of the continent, from California to Canada and the continental shelf to the Cascades, will drop by as much as six feet and rebound thirty to a hundred feet to the west—losing, within minutes, all the elevation and compression it has gained over centuries. Some of that shift will take place beneath the ocean, displacing a colossal quantity of seawater. (Watch what your fingertips do when you flatten your hand.) The water will surge upward into a huge hill, then promptly collapse. One side will rush west, toward Japan. The other side will rush east, in a seven-hundred-mile liquid wall that will reach the Northwest coast, on average, fifteen minutes after the earthquake begins. By the time the shaking has ceased and the tsunami has receded, the region will be unrecognizable. Kenneth Murphy, who directs FEMA’s Region X, the division responsible for Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Alaska, says, “Our operating assumption is that everything west of Interstate 5 will be toast.” In the Pacific Northwest, the area of impact will cover* some hundred and forty thousand square miles, including Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, Eugene, Salem (the capital city of Oregon), Olympia (the capital of Washington), and some seven million people. When the next full-margin rupture happens, that region will suffer the worst natural disaster in the history of North America. Roughly three thousand people died in San Francisco’s 1906 earthquake. Almost two thousand died in Hurricane Katrina. Almost three hundred died in Hurricane Sandy. FEMA projects that nearly thirteen thousand people will die in the Cascadia earthquake and tsunami. Another twenty-seven thousand will be injured, and the agency expects that it will need to provide shelter for a million displaced people, and food and water for another two and a half million. “This is one time that I’m hoping all the science is wrong, and it won’t happen for another thousand years,” Murphy says. In fact, the science is robust, and one of the chief scientists behind it is Chris Goldfinger. Thanks to work done by him and his colleagues, we now know that the odds of the big Cascadia earthquake happening in the next fifty years are roughly one in three. The odds of the very big one are roughly one in ten. Even those numbers do not fully reflect the danger—or, more to the point, how unprepared the Pacific Northwest is to face it. The truly worrisome figures in this story are these: Thirty years ago, no one knew that the Cascadia subduction zone had ever produced a major earthquake. Forty-five years ago, no one even knew it existed. In May of 1804, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, together with their Corps of Discovery, set off from St. Louis on America’s first official cross-country expedition. Eighteen months later, they reached the Pacific Ocean and made camp near the present-day town of Astoria, Oregon. The United States was, at the time, twenty-nine years old. Canada was not yet a country. The continent’s far expanses were so unknown to its white explorers that Thomas Jefferson, who commissioned the journey, thought that the men would come across woolly mammoths. Native Americans had lived in the Northwest for millennia, but they had no written language, and the many things to which the arriving Europeans subjected them did not include seismological inquiries. The newcomers took the land they encountered at face value, and at face value it was a find: vast, cheap, temperate, fertile, and, to all appearances, remarkably benign. A century and a half elapsed before anyone had any inkling that the Pacific Northwest was not a quiet place but a place in a long period of quiet. It took another fifty years to uncover and interpret the region’s seismic history. Geology, as even geologists will tell you, is not normally the sexiest of disciplines; it hunkers down with earthly stuff while the glory accrues to the human and the cosmic—to genetics, neuroscience, physics. But, sooner or later, every field has its field day, and the discovery of the Cascadia subduction zone stands as one of the greatest scientific detective stories of our time. The first clue came from geography. Almost all of the world’s most powerful earthquakes occur in the Ring of Fire, the volcanically and seismically volatile swath of the Pacific that runs from New Zealand up through Indonesia and Japan, across the ocean to Alaska, and down the west coast of the Americas to Chile. Japan, 2011, magnitude 9.0; Indonesia, 2004, magnitude 9.1; Alaska, 1964, magnitude 9.2; Chile, 1960, magnitude 9.5—not until the late nineteen-sixties, with the rise of the theory of plate tectonics, could geologists explain this pattern. The Ring of Fire, it turns out, is really a ring of subduction zones. Nearly all the earthquakes in the region are caused by continental plates getting stuck on oceanic plates—as North America is stuck on Juan de Fuca—and then getting abruptly unstuck. And nearly all the volcanoes are caused by the oceanic plates sliding deep beneath the continental ones, eventually reaching temperatures and pressures so extreme that they melt the rock above them. The Pacific Northwest sits squarely within the Ring of Fire. Off its coast, an oceanic plate is slipping beneath a continental one. Inland, the Cascade volcanoes mark the line where, far below, the Juan de Fuca plate is heating up and melting everything above it. In other words, the Cascadia subduction zone has, as Goldfinger put it, “all the right anatomical parts.” Yet not once in recorded history has it caused a major earthquake—or, for that matter, any quake to speak of. By contrast, other subduction zones produce major earthquakes occasionally and minor ones all the time: magnitude 5.0, magnitude 4.0, magnitude why are the neighbors moving their sofa at midnight. You can scarcely spend a week in Japan without feeling this sort of earthquake. You can spend a lifetime in many parts of the Northwest—several, in fact, if you had them to spend—and not feel so much as a quiver. The question facing geologists in the nineteen-seventies was whether the Cascadia subduction zone had ever broken its eerie silence. In the late nineteen-eighties, Brian Atwater, a geologist with the United States Geological Survey, and a graduate student named David Yamaguchi found the answer, and another major clue in the Cascadia puzzle. Their discovery is best illustrated in a place called the ghost forest, a grove of western red cedars on the banks of the Copalis River, near the Washington coast. When I paddled out to it last summer, with Atwater and Yamaguchi, it was easy to see how it got its name. The cedars are spread out across a low salt marsh on a wide northern bend in the river, long dead but still standing. Leafless, branchless, barkless, they are reduced to their trunks and worn to a smooth silver-gray, as if they had always carried their own tombstones inside them. What killed the trees in the ghost forest was saltwater. It had long been assumed that they died slowly, as the sea level around them gradually rose and submerged their roots. But, by 1987, Atwater, who had found in soil layers evidence of sudden land subsidence along the Washington coast, suspected that that was backward—that the trees had died quickly when the ground beneath them plummeted. To find out, he teamed up with Yamaguchi, a specialist in dendrochronology, the study of growth-ring patterns in trees. Yamaguchi took samples of the cedars and found that they had died simultaneously: in tree after tree, the final rings dated to the summer of 1699. Since trees do not grow in the winter, he and Atwater concluded that sometime between August of 1699 and May of 1700 an earthquake had caused the land to drop and killed the cedars. That time frame predated by more than a hundred years the written history of the Pacific Northwest—and so, by rights, the detective story should have ended there. But it did not. If you travel five thousand miles due west from the ghost forest, you reach the northeast coast of Japan. As the events of 2011 made clear, that coast is vulnerable to tsunamis, and the Japanese have kept track of them since at least 599 A.D. In that fourteen-hundred-year history, one incident has long stood out for its strangeness. On the eighth day of the twelfth month of the twelfth year of the Genroku era, a six-hundred-mile-long wave struck the coast, levelling homes, breaching a castle moat, and causing an accident at sea. The Japanese understood that tsunamis were the result of earthquakes, yet no one felt the ground shake before the Genroku event. The wave had no discernible origin. When scientists began studying it, they called it an orphan tsunami. Finally, in a 1996 article in Nature, a seismologist named Kenji Satake and three colleagues, drawing on the work of Atwater and Yamaguchi, matched that orphan to its parent—and thereby filled in the blanks in the Cascadia story with uncanny specificity. At approximately nine o’ clock at night on January 26, 1700, a magnitude-9.0 earthquake struck the Pacific Northwest, causing sudden land subsidence, drowning coastal forests, and, out in the ocean, lifting up a wave half the length of a continent. It took roughly fifteen minutes for the Eastern half of that wave to strike the Northwest coast. It took ten hours for the other half to cross the ocean. It reached Japan on January 27, 1700: by the local calendar, the eighth day of the twelfth month of the twelfth year of Genroku. Once scientists had reconstructed the 1700 earthquake, certain previously overlooked accounts also came to seem like clues. In 1964, Chief Louis Nookmis, of the Huu-ay-aht First Nation, in British Columbia, told a story, passed down through seven generations, about the eradication of Vancouver Island’s Pachena Bay people. “I think it was at nighttime that the land shook,” Nookmis recalled. According to another tribal history, “They sank at once, were all drowned; not one survived.” A hundred years earlier, Billy Balch, a leader of the Makah tribe, recounted a similar story. Before his own time, he said, all the water had receded from Washington State’s Neah Bay, then suddenly poured back in, inundating the entire region. Those who survived later found canoes hanging from the trees. In a 2005 study, Ruth Ludwin, then a seismologist at the University of Washington, together with nine colleagues, collected and analyzed Native American reports of earthquakes and saltwater floods. Some of those reports contained enough information to estimate a date range for the events they described. On average, the midpoint of that range was 1701. It does not speak well of European-Americans that such stories counted as evidence for a proposition only after that proposition had been proved. Still, the reconstruction of the Cascadia earthquake of 1700 is one of those rare natural puzzles whose pieces fit together as tectonic plates do not: perfectly. It is wonderful science. It was wonderful for science. And it was terrible news for the millions of inhabitants of the Pacific Northwest. As Goldfinger put it, “In the late eighties and early nineties, the paradigm shifted to ‘uh-oh.’ ” Goldfinger told me this in his lab at Oregon State, a low prefab building that a passing English major might reasonably mistake for the maintenance department. Inside the lab is a walk-in freezer. Inside the freezer are floor-to-ceiling racks filled with cryptically labelled tubes, four inches in diameter and five feet long. Each tube contains a core sample of the seafloor. Each sample contains the history, written in seafloorese, of the past ten thousand years. During subduction-zone earthquakes, torrents of land rush off the continental slope, leaving a permanent deposit on the bottom of the ocean. By counting the number and the size of deposits in each sample, then comparing their extent and consistency along the length of the Cascadia subduction zone, Goldfinger and his colleagues were able to determine how much of the zone has ruptured, how often, and how drastically. Thanks to that work, we now know that the Pacific Northwest has experienced forty-one subduction-zone earthquakes in the past ten thousand years. If you divide ten thousand by forty-one, you get two hundred and forty-three, which is Cascadia’s recurrence interval: the average amount of time that elapses between earthquakes. That timespan is dangerous both because it is too long—long enough for us to unwittingly build an entire civilization on top of our continent’s worst fault line—and because it is not long enough. Counting from the earthquake of 1700, we are now three hundred and fifteen years into a two-hundred-and-forty-three-year cycle. It is possible to quibble with that number. Recurrence intervals are averages, and averages are tricky: ten is the average of nine and eleven, but also of eighteen and two. It is not possible, however, to dispute the scale of the problem. The devastation in Japan in 2011 was the result of a discrepancy between what the best science predicted and what the region was prepared to withstand. The same will hold true in the Pacific Northwest—but here the discrepancy is enormous. “The science part is fun,” Goldfinger says. “And I love doing it. But the gap between what we know and what we should do about it is getting bigger and bigger, and the action really needs to turn to responding. Otherwise, we’re going to be hammered. I’ve been through one of these massive earthquakes in the most seismically prepared nation on earth. If that was Portland”—Goldfinger finished the sentence with a shake of his head before he finished it with words. “Let’s just say I would rather not be here.” The first sign that the Cascadia earthquake has begun will be a compressional wave, radiating outward from the fault line. Compressional waves are fast-moving, high-frequency waves, audible to dogs and certain other animals but experienced by humans only as a sudden jolt. They are not very harmful, but they are potentially very useful, since they travel fast enough to be detected by sensors thirty to ninety seconds ahead of other seismic waves. That is enough time for earthquake early-warning systems, such as those in use throughout Japan, to automatically perform a variety of lifesaving functions: shutting down railways and power plants, opening elevators and firehouse doors, alerting hospitals to halt surgeries, and triggering alarms so that the general public can take cover. The Pacific Northwest has no early-warning system. When the Cascadia earthquake begins, there will be, instead, a cacophony of barking dogs and a long, suspended, what-was-that moment before the surface waves arrive. Surface waves are slower, lower-frequency waves that move the ground both up and down and side to side: the shaking, starting in earnest. Soon after that shaking begins, the electrical grid will fail, likely everywhere west of the Cascades and possibly well beyond. If it happens at night, the ensuing catastrophe will unfold in darkness. In theory, those who are at home when it hits should be safest; it is easy and relatively inexpensive to seismically safeguard a private dwelling. But, lulled into nonchalance by their seemingly benign environment, most people in the Pacific Northwest have not done so. That nonchalance will shatter instantly. So will everything made of glass. Anything indoors and unsecured will lurch across the floor or come crashing down: bookshelves, lamps, computers, cannisters of flour in the pantry. Refrigerators will walk out of kitchens, unplugging themselves and toppling over. Water heaters will fall and smash interior gas lines. Houses that are not bolted to their foundations will slide off—or, rather, they will stay put, obeying inertia, while the foundations, together with the rest of the Northwest, jolt westward. Unmoored on the undulating ground, the homes will begin to collapse. Across the region, other, larger structures will also start to fail. Until 1974, the state of Oregon had no seismic code, and few places in the Pacific Northwest had one appropriate to a magnitude-9.0 earthquake until 1994. The vast majority of buildings in the region were constructed before then. Ian Madin, who directs the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI), estimates that seventy-five per cent of all structures in the state are not designed to withstand a major Cascadia quake. FEMA calculates that, across the region, something on the order of a million buildings—more than three thousand of them schools—will collapse or be compromised in the earthquake. So will half of all highway bridges, fifteen of the seventeen bridges spanning Portland’s two rivers, and two-thirds of railways and airports; also, one-third of all fire stations, half of all police stations, and two-thirds of all hospitals. Certain disasters stem from many small problems conspiring to cause one very large problem. For want of a nail, the war was lost; for fifteen independently insignificant errors, the jetliner was lost. Subduction-zone earthquakes operate on the opposite principle: one enormous problem causes many other enormous problems. The shaking from the Cascadia quake will set off landslides throughout the region—up to thirty thousand of them in Seattle alone, the city’s emergency-management office estimates. It will also induce a process called liquefaction, whereby seemingly solid ground starts behaving like a liquid, to the detriment of anything on top of it. Fifteen per cent of Seattle is built on liquefiable land, including seventeen day-care centers and the homes of some thirty-four thousand five hundred people. So is Oregon’s critical energy-infrastructure hub, a six-mile stretch of Portland through which flows ninety per cent of the state’s liquid fuel and which houses everything from electrical substations to natural-gas terminals. Together, the sloshing, sliding, and shaking will trigger fires, flooding, pipe failures, dam breaches, and hazardous-material spills. Any one of these second-order disasters could swamp the original earthquake in terms of cost, damage, or casualties—and one of them definitely will. Four to six minutes after the dogs start barking, the shaking will subside. For another few minutes, the region, upended, will continue to fall apart on its own. Then the wave will arrive, and the real destruction will begin. Among natural disasters, tsunamis may be the closest to being completely unsurvivable. The only likely way to outlive one is not to be there when it happens: to steer clear of the vulnerable area in the first place, or get yourself to high ground as fast as possible. For the seventy-one thousand people who live in Cascadia’s inundation zone, that will mean evacuating in the narrow window after one disaster ends and before another begins. They will be notified to do so only by the earthquake itself—“a vibrate-alert system,” Kevin Cupples, the city planner for the town of Seaside, Oregon, jokes—and they are urged to leave on foot, since the earthquake will render roads impassable. Depending on location, they will have between ten and thirty minutes to get out. That time line does not allow for finding a flashlight, tending to an earthquake injury, hesitating amid the ruins of a home, searching for loved ones, or being a Good Samaritan. “When that tsunami is coming, you run,” Jay Wilson, the chair of the Oregon Seismic Safety Policy Advisory Commission (OSSPAC), says. “You protect yourself, you don’t turn around, you don’t go back to save anybody. You run for your life.” The time to save people from a tsunami is before it happens, but the region has not yet taken serious steps toward doing so. Hotels and businesses are not required to post evacuation routes or to provide employees with evacuation training. In Oregon, it has been illegal since 1995 to build hospitals, schools, firehouses, and police stations in the inundation zone, but those which are already in it can stay, and any other new construction is permissible: energy facilities, hotels, retirement homes. In those cases, builders are required only to consult with DOGAMI about evacuation plans. “So you come in and sit down,” Ian Madin says. “And I say, ‘That’s a stupid idea.’ And you say, ‘Thanks. Now we’ve consulted.’ ” These lax safety policies guarantee that many people inside the inundation zone will not get out. Twenty-two per cent of Oregon’s coastal population is sixty-five or older. Twenty-nine per cent of the state’s population is disabled, and that figure rises in many coastal counties. “We can’t save them,” Kevin Cupples says. “I’m not going to sugarcoat it and say, ‘Oh, yeah, we’ll go around and check on the elderly.’ No. We won’t.” Nor will anyone save the tourists. Washington State Park properties within the inundation zone see an average of seventeen thousand and twenty-nine guests a day. Madin estimates that up to a hundred and fifty thousand people visit Oregon’s beaches on summer weekends. “Most of them won’t have a clue as to how to evacuate,” he says. “And the beaches are the hardest place to evacuate from.” Those who cannot get out of the inundation zone under their own power will quickly be overtaken by a greater one. A grown man is knocked over by ankle-deep water moving at 6.7 miles an hour. The tsunami will be moving more than twice that fast when it arrives. Its height will vary with the contours of the coast, from twenty feet to more than a hundred feet. It will not look like a Hokusai-style wave, rising up from the surface of the sea and breaking from above. It will look like the whole ocean, elevated, overtaking land. Nor will it be made only of water—not once it reaches the shore. It will be a five-story deluge of pickup trucks and doorframes and cinder blocks and fishing boats and utility poles and everything else that once constituted the coastal towns of the Pacific Northwest. To see the full scale of the devastation when that tsunami recedes, you would need to be in the international space station. The inundation zone will be scoured of structures from California to Canada. The earthquake will have wrought its worst havoc west of the Cascades but caused damage as far away as Sacramento, California—as distant from the worst-hit areas as Fort Wayne, Indiana, is from New York. FEMA expects to coördinate search-and-rescue operations across a hundred thousand square miles and in the waters off four hundred and fifty-three miles of coastline. As for casualties: the figures I cited earlier—twenty-seven thousand injured, almost thirteen thousand dead—are based on the agency’s official planning scenario, which has the earthquake striking at 9:41 A.M. on February 6th. If, instead, it strikes in the summer, when the beaches are full, those numbers could be off by a horrifying margin. Wineglasses, antique vases, Humpty Dumpty, hip bones, hearts: what breaks quickly generally mends slowly, if at all. OSSPAC estimates that in the I-5 corridor it will take between one and three months after the earthquake to restore electricity, a month to a year to restore drinking water and sewer service, six months to a year to restore major highways, and eighteen months to restore health-care facilities. On the coast, those numbers go up. Whoever chooses or has no choice but to stay there will spend three to six months without electricity, one to three years without drinking water and sewage systems, and three or more years without hospitals. Those estimates do not apply to the tsunami-inundation zone, which will remain all but uninhabitable for years. How much all this will cost is anyone’s guess; FEMA puts every number on its relief-and-recovery plan except a price. But whatever the ultimate figure—and even though U.S. taxpayers will cover seventy-five to a hundred per cent of the damage, as happens in declared disasters—the economy of the Pacific Northwest will collapse. Crippled by a lack of basic services, businesses will fail or move away. Many residents will flee as well. OSSPAC predicts a mass-displacement event and a long-term population downturn. Chris Goldfinger didn’t want to be there when it happened. But, by many metrics, it will be as bad or worse to be there afterward. On the face of it, earthquakes seem to present us with problems of space: the way we live along fault lines, in brick buildings, in homes made valuable by their proximity to the sea. But, covertly, they also present us with problems of time. The earth is 4.5 billion years old, but we are a young species, relatively speaking, with an average individual allotment of three score years and ten. The brevity of our lives breeds a kind of temporal parochialism—an ignorance of or an indifference to those planetary gears which turn more slowly than our own. This problem is bidirectional. The Cascadia subduction zone remained hidden from us for so long because we could not see deep enough into the past. It poses a danger to us today because we have not thought deeply enough about the future. That is no longer a problem of information; we now understand very well what the Cascadia fault line will someday do. Nor is it a problem of imagination. If you are so inclined, you can watch an earthquake destroy much of the West Coast this summer in Brad Peyton’s “San Andreas,” while, in neighboring theatres, the world threatens to succumb to Armageddon by other means: viruses, robots, resource scarcity, zombies, aliens, plague. As those movies attest, we excel at imagining future scenarios, including awful ones. But such apocalyptic visions are a form of escapism, not a moral summons, and still less a plan of action. Where we stumble is in conjuring up grim futures in a way that helps to avert them. That problem is not specific to earthquakes, of course. The Cascadia situation, a calamity in its own right, is also a parable for this age of ecological reckoning, and the questions it raises are ones that we all now face. How should a society respond to a looming crisis of uncertain timing but of catastrophic proportions? How can it begin to right itself when its entire infrastructure and culture developed in a way that leaves it profoundly vulnerable to natural disaster? The last person I met with in the Pacific Northwest was Doug Dougherty, the superintendent of schools for Seaside, which lies almost entirely within the tsunami-inundation zone. Of the four schools that Dougherty oversees, with a total student population of sixteen hundred, one is relatively safe. The others sit five to fifteen feet above sea level. When the tsunami comes, they will be as much as forty-five feet below it. In 2009, Dougherty told me, he found some land for sale outside the inundation zone, and proposed building a new K-12 campus there. Four years later, to foot the hundred-and-twenty-eight-million-dollar bill, the district put up a bond measure. The tax increase for residents amounted to two dollars and sixteen cents per thousand dollars of property value. The measure failed by sixty-two per cent. Dougherty tried seeking help from Oregon’s congressional delegation but came up empty. The state makes money available for seismic upgrades, but buildings within the inundation zone cannot apply. At present, all Dougherty can do is make sure that his students know how to evacuate. Some of them, however, will not be able to do so. At an elementary school in the community of Gearhart, the children will be trapped. “They can’t make it out from that school,” Dougherty said. “They have no place to go.” On one side lies the ocean; on the other, a wide, roadless bog. When the tsunami comes, the only place to go in Gearhart is a small ridge just behind the school. At its tallest, it is forty-five feet high—lower than the expected wave in a full-margin earthquake. For now, the route to the ridge is marked by signs that say “Temporary Tsunami Assembly Area.” I asked Dougherty about the state’s long-range plan. “There is no long-range plan,” he said. Dougherty’s office is deep inside the inundation zone, a few blocks from the beach. All day long, just out of sight, the ocean rises up and collapses, spilling foamy overlapping ovals onto the shore. Eighty miles farther out, ten thousand feet below the surface of the sea, the hand of a geological clock is somewhere in its slow sweep. All across the region, seismologists are looking at their watches, wondering how long we have, and what we will do, before geological time catches up to our own.

Drought hits Northeastern US, could last months

By MICHAEL CASEY Jul. 24, 2016 1:06 PM EDT

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — At Lavoie's Farm in New Hampshire, beans and corn haven't broken through the ground yet and fields of strawberries are stunted. The drought that has taken hold in the Northeast is especially felt at John Lavoie's farm in Hollis, presenting him with some tough choices. Irrigation ponds are drying up, forcing him to choose between tomatoes and berries or apple and peach trees. Lavoie decided to hold off watering the fruit trees so he could quench the tomato and berry plants before they succumb to the heat. "We need some rain pretty quick," Lavoie said. "There is just some corn that won't make it. A lot of things we would like to give water to, we can't." The dry blast in New Hampshire is being felt throughout the Northeast, from Maine to Pennsylvania, driven by a second year of below-average rainfall. Though not as dire as the West Coast drought of five-years running, the dry, hot weather has stressed farms and gardens, prompted water restrictions and bans in many towns and threatened to bring more wildfires than usual. In the hardest hit areas of western New York, Massachusetts and southern parts of New Hampshire and Maine, it's been dryer than in a decade or more. And national weather experts predict the drought will persist at least through the end of October. "The Northeast is a little bit of a mixed bag, but the bottom line is that the conditions have deteriorated over the past several weeks to a couple of months," said Rich Tinker, a drought specialist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. If there were a drought epicenter, it probably would be Massachusetts. More than 74 percent of the state, according to the United States Drought Monitor, is experiencing some degree of drought and almost the entire state is dry. Many Massachusetts farmers are hurting, said Katie Campbell-Nelson, a vegetable production specialist with the UMass Extension. Yields and quality are down, and irrigation costs are up. "Some farmers are abandoning crops because it's not worth the financial risk of harvesting them," Campbell-Nelson said. The dry conditions have raised the risk of wildfires in Massachusetts, said Dave Celino, chief forest fire warden for the state Department of Conservation and Recreation. Typically, the state records about 1,600 wildland fires a year. But this year, it's already seen more than 1,000. Meanwhile, some wells are going dry in Connecticut. And the blueberry crop in Maine will be slightly smaller this year than the past two, said Nancy McBrady, executive director of the Wild Blueberry Commission of Maine. In New Hampshire, the Lavoies, like their farming neighbors, are spending twice as much and committing 90 percent of their labor to watering. They've instituted drip agriculture and other conservation measures to ensure every drop of water goes farther and lasts longer. It's a smart move, especially since it may be months before they see any relief. Associated Press writers Mark Pratt in Boston, Patrick Whittle in Maine and Susan Haigh in Connecticut contributed to this report.

Died: Tim LaHaye, Author Who 'Left Behind' a Long Legacy

Jerry B. Jenkins: 'Thrilled as I am that he is where he has always wanted to be, his departure leaves a void in my soul.'

Jeremy Weber [ posted 7/25/2016 11:01AM ]

Tim LaHaye, the best-selling author best known for the Left Behind series, “graduated to heaven” early this morning after suffering a stroke at age 90. His family announced the news of his passing at a San Diego hospital on his ministry Facebook page. On the eve of his death, ministry partners, fans, and friends urgently asked for prayer on social media this weekend, offering a wave of early tributes that spread through end-times prophecy circles and chapters of Concerned Women for America (CWA), the 600,000-member public policy organization founded by LaHaye’s wife, Beverly. Some circulated a statement by LaHaye’s daughter Linda: “He will not recover from this, he will soon be graduated to heaven.” “Tim was one of the most godly men I have ever known,” said David Jeremiah, LaHaye’s successor at the San Diego church he led for 25 years (then named Scott Memorial Baptist Church, now named Shadow Mountain Community Church). “Almost every conversation I had with him ended with his praying with me and for me. He wrote me extended letters of appreciation for what God was doing in our church. We shared long lunches together talking about ministry and praying for our nation. “When I look back over [his] life, I am reminded of Paul’s words concerning King David: ‘He served his own generation by the will of God’ (Acts 13:36),” stated Jeremiah, senior pastor of Shadow Mountain and founder of Turning Point. “Tim’s ministry will continue for many years through the books he wrote, the organizations he founded, and the people that he influenced. But I will miss him when I look out from my pulpit next Sunday.” “Whose life hasn't been affected in some way by this man?” wrote Prophecy Watchers, a two-year-old ministry based in Oklahoma City that announced the news of LaHaye’s stroke, describing him as a friend and supporter. “This is a great man of God and if the Lord takes him home, he leaves behind a wonderful legacy. In the words of Steve Green, ‘May all who come behind us find us faithful.’” “Thrilled as I am that he is where he has always wanted to be, his departure leaves a void in my soul I don’t expect to fill until I see him again,” stated Jerry B. Jenkins, who co-wrote the Left Behind books with LaHaye, in the obituary released by the LaHaye family. [Jenkins wrote a tribute for CT on “the Tim LaHaye I knew.”] The founder and president of Tim LaHaye Ministries and founder of the PreTrib Research Center, LaHaye sold 62 million copies of the series with Jenkins. “In terms of its impact on Christianity, it’s probably greater than that of any other book in modern times, outside the Bible,” the late Jerry Falwell, a friend of LaHaye’s, told Time magazine in 2005. CT ranked Left Behind among the landmark titles that have shaped evangelicalism. LaHaye and Jenkins not only had readers rethinking the rapture, but also the potential popularity of Christian novels. “The book launched a series that launched a marketing empire that launched a new set of rules for Christian fiction. The series spent a total of 300 weeks—nearly as long as the Tribulation it dramatized—on The New York Times's bestseller list.” The series, whose first title released 21 years ago this month, still sells in the six figures annually, according to Jenkins. “Tim LaHaye’s history as a published author is intertwined with the entire history of Tyndale House,” stated Mark D. Taylor, chairman and CEO of Tyndale House Publishers. “His first book, Spirit-Controlled Temperament, was published 50 years ago in 1966. It was the very first book published by Tyndale House apart from the Living series of Bible paraphrases. And Tyndale’s highest-selling series of trade titles has been the Left Behind series. ... Tim was a wonderful Bible teacher and pastor and an inspiration for our entire industry. We will miss him.” “It was LaHaye's idea to fictionalize an account of the Rapture and the Tribulation,” according to his bio on the official Left Behind website. It notes: LaHaye originated the idea of a novel about the Second Coming. "Sitting on airplanes and watching the pilots," he told People magazine, "I'd think to myself, 'What if the Rapture occurred on an airplane?'" LaHaye looked for a co-writer for several years and was then introduced to Jerry B. Jenkins through their mutual agent, Rick Christian, president of the Colorado Springs literary agency, Alive Communications, who also negotiated the book deal. “Writing the Left Behind novel series for him and traveling with him all over the country to promote it, I saw the softer side of a man known for strong opinions and polemic views,” stated Jenkins. “The Tim LaHaye I got to know had a pastor’s heart and lived to share his faith. He listened to and cared about everyone, regardless of age, gender, or social standing. If Tim was missing from the autograph table or the green room of a network television show, he was likely in a corner praying with someone he’d just met—from a reader to a part-time bookstore stock clerk to a TV network anchorman.” Earlier this month, LaHaye publicly celebrated his 69th wedding anniversary with his wife. Time magazine labeled the pair “the Christian Power Couple” in 2005, listing them among the country's most influential evangelicals. “[Beverly] has been my faithful partner in marriage, parenthood, ministry, and many things we never dreamed. We are still in love today!” he wrote. “God has been faithful to us and we continue to claim as our life verse, Proverbs 3:5 & 6, ‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.’” His ministry bio notes: He also founded two accredited Christian high schools, a school system of 10 Christian schools, San Diego Christian College (formerly Christian Heritage College), and assisted Dr. Henry Morris in the founding of the Institute for Creation Research, the nation's foremost exponent of creationist materials. LaHaye has written more than 60 non-fiction books on a wide range of subjects such as: family life, temperaments, sexual adjustment, Bible prophecy, the will of God, Jesus Christ, and secular humanism with over 14 million in print, some of which have been translated into 32 foreign languages. His writings are best noted for their easy-to-understand and scripturally based application of biblical principles that assist in facing and handling the challenges of life. His ministry obituary notes: During the 1970s Dr. LaHaye was instrumental in gathering a coalition of Southern California pastors together to address a progressive agenda that was undermining traditional family values. Also in the ’70s he encouraged the late Jerry Falwell Sr. to establish the Moral Majority as a way to build a similar coalition nationally. He was also widely credited with garnering evangelical support behind the campaign of George W. Bush. A Bob Jones University alumnus, LaHaye received a Doctor of Ministry degree from Western Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Literature degree from Liberty University. He and his wife lived in Southern California and have 4 children, 9 grandchildren, and 16 great-grandchildren. His ministry offers a fuller obituary.

Refugee rapes 79yo woman at German cemetery

Published time: 27 Jul, 2016 02:59

A new rape scandal is brewing in Germany after 40-year-old man from Eritrea with official refugee status was arrested as he was sexually assaulting an elderly woman at a cemetery in North Rhine-Westphalia. The disturbing attack took place in the western German town of Iddenbueren on Sunday. A local resident alerted the police after he heard a cry for help coming from the cemetery. The victim, a 79-year-old boarder of a nursing home, was provided first aid before being transferred to a medical facility for treatment. She was released from the hospital on Tuesday. The pensioner is known to visit the cemetery fairly regularly to mourn her long-dead sister, Bild reported. The alleged perpetrator, who has been living in Germany since 2013, was charged with rape by the prosecution and placed into custody for the course of the investigation, the prosecutor’s office of Munster and police for the district of Steinfurt, where the town is located, said in a joint statement. Before being arrested, the suspect was staying at a refugee shelter in the nearby town of Horstel. The assailant did not resist the police as they arrived at the scene early on Sunday morning. He faces up to 15 years behind bars if found guilty. A wave of sexually-related offences in Germany has triggered immense public outrage and forced authorities to review existing anti-rape laws. The most notorious incident took place during this year’s New Year’s Eve celebrations in Cologne, where wide-scale sexual assaults took place. In an effort to reduce the underreporting of rape crimes, Germany’s parliament introduced a new law on sexual offences earlier this month labeled “no means no,” under which victims will no longer be required to prove that they physically resisted the assailant, which was mandatory for rape charges to be brought against an assailant before. The old standard led to many offences not being reported, as victims had often been intimidated into the sexual contact. “The change in the law will help increase the number of victims who choose to press charges, lower the number of criminal prosecutions that are shelved, and ensure sexual assaults are properly punished,” said Manuela Schwesig, Germany’s federal minister of family affairs, senior citizens, women and youth, in commenting on the law. As the majority of the sexual attacks committed in Cologne were linked to men from North Africa and the Middle East, the law put special emphasis on asylum seekers and migrants involved in sexual crimes. The legislation specifies that any sexually-related conviction could be a pretext for denying refugee status and also facilitate deportation. More than 1.1 million refugees, mostly from Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, entered Germany last year. The unprecedented influx has boosted the popularity of right-wing parties and created tension within German society. According to a survey conducted by pollster GfK, 83 percent of Germans now consider immigration to be country’s biggest challenge – a staggering increase from last year’s figure of 35 percent.

Germany On Edge Panic as ‘suitcase bomb’ fails to explode near government migrant office – as police hunt man and woman who ‘planted device’

Witnesses reportedly saw 'Arab-looking' suspects running away from the scene

By Mark Hodge 27th July 2016, 3:51 pm

Police are hunting two ‘Arab looking’ suspects who reportedly planted a ‘BOMB’ which failed to explode near a Government office for migrants and refugees in the German town Zirndorf in northern Bavaria, near the city of Nuremberg. The device, which was a suitcase filled with aerosol cans, was reportedly ‘planted by a man and a woman’ as Germany remains on edge after a series of horrifying terror attacks. Police are now saying there is “no acute danger” with local authorities tweeting: “No explosion, no injuries. Forces on the ground. No acute danger to the environment.” German outlet Bild earlier reported that a ‘bomb’ had exploded around 200 metres from a government building’s reception area. According to police at the scene, eyewitnesses reportedly heard a loud bang while others saw a burning suitcase in a small garden nearby. Witnesses also reportedly saw ‘Arab-looking men’ running away from the scene. There have no fatalities or injuries reported and no one is thought to have been seriously harmed. German police say they have deployed officers near a refugee accommodation centre and a branch of the country’s office for asylum-seekers after the frightening blast. Local broadcaster Bayerischer Rundfunk reported, without citing sources, that a suitcase containing several spray cans blew up near the refugee center in Zirndorf, outside the city of Nuremberg. The blast comes days after a failed Syrian asylum seeker blew himself up outside a music festival in the Bavarian town of Ansbach. In a video posted by terror group ISIS, suicide bomber Mohammad Daleel, 27, pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the warped death cult. On the same day, a 21-year-old Syrian refugee hacked a pregnant woman to death with a machete and injured several others in the town of Reutlingen. On July 22, a German Iranian teen shot and killed nine people in German capital Munich before turning before killing himself. And on July 18, an Afghan refugee teenager unleashed a frenzied knife attack on a train in Wurzburg, injuring several people, before he was gunned down by police.

The Gravest Threat to America is the Democratic Party

Posted on July 26, 2016 by Ray Starmann

As ISIS animals murder a priest in an ancient Normandy church, the Democrats preach love to our enemies across the world. As a Syrian scumbag detonates a suicide bomb at a music festival in Ansbach, Bavaria, the Democrats speak in 1960’s platitudes about peace. As a Muslim monster and guest of Mrs. Merkel hacks a pregnant woman to death on the streets of Germany, the Democrats hold a sit in and demand more free stuff from the government. While the so called “religion of peace” creates mayhem across the West, the Democrats want to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony. The flags are flying high this week in Philly. That is, the Palestinian flag, the flag of the former Soviet Union and Mexican flags. The US flag was AWOL until an Internet firestorm brought those patriotic Democrats to go buy a Stars and Stripes and place it on stage. The world is snowballing into tyranny, anarchy, rape, murder and destruction on the Democratic Party’s watch. The world is cascading into oblivion and the Democratic Party nominee is a woman whose policies helped create ISIS, whose policies created chaos in Libya and Egypt and Syria and in Iraq. The Democratic Party nominee is a woman responsible for the “Russian Reset”, which ignited a new Cold War. Yesterday, 61 people spoke at the DNC. Not one speaker discussed the worldwide cancer of ISIS. Not one. Instead, there were incessant calls for gender neutrality, open borders, unlimited immigration and destroying Wall Street, even though their criminal nominee is Wall Street’s biggest ghost payroller. As of tonight, there has been no talk about strengthening the military, much the military at all. There has been no discussion of national security. Instead, the Democrats parade a lineup of Hollywood liberals to the podium like Elizabeth Banks and Eva Longoria, who said that “Her family never crossed the border. The border crossed us.” What the hell is she talking about? Is that some kind of La Raza double speak? Instead, the Democrats parade a lineup of female speakers who look like escapees from a public school administration and who hammer the audience with the traditional nauseating plate of women’s rights issues that the world has heard for 45 years. To the Democrats there will be no talk this week about national security, because they believe everything is going well on Obama’s watch. ISIS is no big deal. The greatest threat to America is climate change. No, the greatest threat to America is the Democratic Party. President Obama doesn’t want to fight ISIS because he’s a closet Muslim and a left wing ideologue. His party doesn’t want to fight ISIS because like the pathetic cowards running Western Europe, they believe that evil can be stopped by appeasement. You certainly can’t have disastrous national security policies without un-documented Muslims pouring into your country like an army of ants at a company picnic. To the Democrats, anyone who states that Muslim immigration from countries that support terrorism should be temporarily halted is a racist and an honorary member in the SS. It’s lunacy of the highest order. Apparently, the United States, like the socialist zombies of the EU, must put itself in mortal danger by opening its doors to young Muslim men, many of whom hate America, the West, Christianity and who are just itching to detonate suicide bombs for Allah. And, oh by the way, turn in all your guns too, because the French love being unarmed soft targets right now. As part of their disastrous, irrational, insane national security trifecta, the Democrats want open borders and many indeed desire unlimited Mexican immigration because more Hispanics means a bigger voting block to replace the 99% of white American men who have fled the hen pecking Democratic Party. While most Mexicans only seek a job and a Costco Executive Card, the lack of security on our Southern border, is an open door for those from the big sandbox who seek our destruction. Humphrey, McGovern, Carter, Mondale, Ferraro, Dukakis, Obama, Hillary and Bernie Sanders; the Democrats never seem to learn anything about national security. They view the world they want it to be, rather than the way it is. It’s more than obvious that the Democrats and Hillary Clinton, with their naïve, feckless view of the world, are simply incapable of defending this country and furthermore, may in fact be the gravest threat to America’s security.

Father Jacques Hamel, 85, was made to get to his knees before he was brutally butchered at the Church of the Gambetta in Normandy today, says a nun who escaped the attack. British counter-terror police have now “circulated specific advice” to churches across the UK amid fears of a similar attack. Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu said: “Following recent events in France, we are reiterating our protective security advice to Christian places of worship and have circulated specific advice today. “We are also taking this opportunity to remind them to review their security arrangements as a precaution. He added: “There is no specific intelligence relating to attacks against the Christian community in the UK. “However, as we have seen, Daesh and other terrorist groups have targeted Christian as well as Jewish and other faith groups in the West and beyond. While the threat from terrorism remains unchanged at severe we urge the public to be vigilant.” Father Hamel’s two murderers - one of whom has been named as 19-year-old Adel Kermiche - captured the slaying on a mobile phone, according to Sister Danielle, who was one of several worshippers taken hostage during morning mass. They then performed a 'sermon' around the altar in Arabic - as armed cops rushed to the scene and terrified members of the congregation fled for their lives. Before his death, Father Hamel courageously tried to defend his parishioners, said the distraught nun, who raised the alarm after fleeing the church. "They [the terrorists] forced him to kneel and he tried to defend himself and that is how the drama started," she told RMC radio this afternoon. Speaking to BFM TV, she added that the two men 'recorded themselves' carrying out the murder and did 'a sort of sermon around the altar in Arabic'.

Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said Scotland Yard is "constantly testing" the preparedness to respond to an attack. The US government's advice to its citizens travelling to the UK warns that Britain is "potentially vulnerable to attacks from transnational terrorist organisations". "Credible information indicates terrorist groups continue plotting possibly near term attacks in Europe," it added.

Bernie Supporters, Black Lives Matter Clash with Police Outside DNC

Protesters take to the streets near convention

Mikael Thalen | Infowars.com - July 26, 2016

Black Lives Matter advocates and distraught Bernie Sanders supporters clashed with police Tuesday evening outside the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. Police vehicles in the street were quickly overtaken and forced to back up after thousands of protesters descended on their blockade. Some protesters carried burnt US flags while others chanted “Black Lives Matter” and “the whole world is watching.” Riot police were dispatched and stood at entrances to the convention in order to keep out the crowd. Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who joined the protest that evening, spoke with Infowars reporter Joe Biggs on several topics including the hacked DNC emails. Protesters earlier had attempted to jump a fence in order to get protest the convention from inside. Police also resorted to using pepper spray in an attempt to push protesters back from the area.

'The Final Nail In The Coffin' - Hillary And The DNC Drop Massive 'Bombshells' On Themselves! Many More 'Bombshells' Coming Wikileaks Warns!

July 27, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

With the Democratic Party attempting to show 'party unity' by threatening to take away Bernie Sanders signs from his supporters at the DNC and Sanders himself urging his supporters not to protest, we get more proof that Hillary Clinton and the entire Democratic Party are on the verge of total self-combustion. As we hear in the 1st video below, the DNC email scandal unearthed by Wikileaks is 'the final nail in the coffin' to many voters who formerly considered themselves in the 'left' column. With their own karma coming back to haunt them with the Wikileaks email scandal that is now threatening to completely blow up in their faces, we see why Hillary and the entire Democratic party are so very nervous - more leaks are coming! Hillary and the Dems have no one but themselves to blame for the 'email bombshells' now dropping on their heads. In fact, if what has ALREADY been leaked by Wikileaks prove that Hillary and the Democratic party are treacherous liars who deserve to be put out of America's mysery (legally and peacefully, of course!) before they get to the White House, we now hear that more damning information is on the way that could totally implode Hillary and the Dems. We also see why they should NEVER, EVER be trusted! Rather than blaming themselves for the emails that they sent, they blame Russia as trying to help Donald Trump. Are you kidding us? Talk about total self-denial. These are emails from DNC staffers, not Russia! Just imagine what might happen to America should the evil witch make it to the White House. This total self-denial in itself shows us just how easily Hillary would think it would be just fine and dandy for her to level another nation then blame Russia or China. Hillary has proven to us she is a 'walking/talking' false flag ready to happen. Does America really need someone who might have brain damage leading our once free nation? Imagine a totally brain-damaged Hillary with her hands on the nuclear trigger with the destruction of the entire world in her hands. We can already hear her 'blow-hole' bellowing after she annihilates China while blaming Russia: "WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE??!!??!!" Hillary once warned that 'they were losing the information war' to the 'real' media, alternative media. The next leak from Wikileaks (that Hillary will surely blame once again on Russia) should be the final battle of that war before the American people have the final say in November and decapitate the 'globalist beast' by voting in Trump and an 'America 1st' rather than 'America last' as Hillary and the DNC want. The fact that the DNC didn't bring in American flags until the 2nd day of their convention tells us all we need to know about these folks. THEY HATE AMERICA! Should Hillary and the DNC somehow dodge these 'truth bombshells' from Wikileaks and she be elected president in November, we'd certainly have one more reason to believe the entire country was doomed to follow in Hillary's footsteps and self-destruct as well. Despite the fact that ISIS has just announced that Washington DC will be among its next 'targets for terror', not one speaker at the DNC named ISIS (probably because the terrorists who CREATED and FUNDED ISIS are within the US government and have names such as 'Clinton' and 'Obama'). We see that a Clinton presidency and administration will only continue the legacy of the Obama administration and Clinton's own legacy - death, destruction, terrorism and weakness. With Sanders supporters in Philadelphia bashing the Clinton nomination while clashing with the police we have to remind them, the police are not your enemy. However, the Clinton Foundation and Hillary Clinton are clearly the enemy of all of America, including the cops that Sanders supporters are mindlessly clashing with as Barack Obama and his adminstration have proven. Why do Democrats hate cops and law and order? While neglecting to invite any of the families of law enforcement officers recently slaughtered in cold-blood by cowardly killers tied to radical groups, the DNC was happy to hold 'criminal appreciation night' and invite members of the families of Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin to speak at their convention. Why is the DNC supporting what is clearly a hateful terroristic group? Brown and Martin might both still be alive if they had followed the law. As we have reported again and again on ANP, if 'black lives matter' really cared about the lives of blacks, they'd be going after the biggest killer of black lives in America - themselves. As we enter the final few days of the DNC, we expect that things could quickly turn from very bad to much worse for Hillary and the entire Democratic party with the release of the next batch of emails from the 'Clinton crime family' via Wikileaks. Will this next batch be enough to finally take down the Hildabeast? The fact that Politico just told us George Soros has announced a new round of $25 million donations to Hillary and his causes should tell us this contest is just heating up. Americans working with Trump to take our country back from globalist criminals can't let up until January, when America is firmly back in hands of Americans who love this country and out of the hands of hitlery's globalists and war criminals. As we hear in the 2nd video below, if elected, Hillary will flood America with ISIS terrorists the likes of which America hasn't yet seen but are clearly taking over Europe. Why would Hillary (and Obama for that matter) allow so many people into this country that hate us? In the final video below we hear more about the Wikileaks email scandal that threatens to take down Hillary and the entire Democratic party, while they hillariously blame Russia for their own emails. As we've seen proven, Hillary and Obama created the same terrorists that Hillary wants to allow in. Why? If Hillary and Obama can't bring down this country to our knees legally, they'll do it any way they can, including allowing ISIS terrorists they created into the country to slaughter us. According to this new story from US Defense Watch, the gravest threat to America is the Democratic Party. Seeing how the 'coronation' of 'queen hillary' has gone so far, we'd have to agree - this party is an absolute mess. For the sake of all Americans and our country, we pray they aren't given the opportunity to destroy us any longer.

WELCOME OUR NEW ROBO-LORDS Robots to OUTNUMBER humans as ‘swarms’ of machines are unleashed

Scientists say we'll soon be able to control vast armies of robots using our SMARTPHONES

by Jasper Hamill 21st July 2016, 4:11 pm

Human beings are set to be “outnumbered” by robots as massive armies of intelligent machines move into the home and workplace. That’s the claim from leading American robotics experts, who are trying to work out how humans can control the vast numbers of intelligent machines which are expected to be unleashed in the coming years. A team based at the University of Texas have unveiled a system which allows them to use “any device with a web browser to access and control a humanoid robot” – which means machines designed to act like real people. At the moment, this man machines are fairly rudimentary and can only perform the most basic of tasks. But as technology becomes more and more advanced, is likely humanoid machines will become a common sight. “Whereas traditional industrial robots are physically dangerous to be around, humanoid robots are meant to operate in our environments with safety guarantees,” the team of academics wrote. “The ability to work alongside humans in our homes and workplaces significantly increases the range of applications of humanoid robots.” Fascinatingly, the researchers said the number of machines is likely to grow so large that humans will need to command armies of them. “Humanoid robots will likely one day outnumber humans, which means each person may need to handle multiple humanoid robots,” they wrote. With this future in mind, the University of Texas academics have devised software which helps them control a humanoid robot through the sorts of web browsers most of us use to access the internet on our smartphones and computers. This could one day allow factory bosses to run a whole establishment single handed – or let a warlord become an army of one by controlling a massive army of killer robots. Their system is called the Cloud-­based Advanced Robotics Laboratory and detects the movements of a human controller’s entire body, before making a robot perform the same action.

Psychiatrist goes demon hunting with exorcists

'Hard to deal' with these people 'without believing pretty strongly in world of evil spirits'

Published: 4 days ago Garth Kant

WASHINGTON – The psychiatrist was on the phone with a priest discussing a patient when suddenly another voice appeared out of nowhere, threatened the clergyman and nastily warned, “Leave her alone, she’s ours.” Dr. Richard Gallagher recognized the voice. It was the one that had come out of the patient when he had examined her. But she was hundreds of miles away, nowhere near the two men on the phone. “I said to the priest, ‘Did you hear that?'” the doctor recounted to WND. The priest replied, “Yes, this is a very serious case. That’s what you can get in these very serious cases.” So serious, and so bizarre, Gallagher wrote a piece for the Washington Post recently that began with a gripping description of that very case, titled, “As a psychiatrist, I diagnose mental illness. Also, I help spot demonic possession.” It was the case that launched a highly trained man of science and reason on a journey into the supernatural. One that led him to conclude that evil spirits are real. Like the reporting you see here? Sign up for free news alerts from WND.com, America’s independent news network. Dr. Gallagher is a board-certified psychiatrist and a professor of clinical psychiatry at New York Medical College. He studied the classics at Princeton then was trained in psychiatry at Yale and in psychoanalysis at Columbia. Gallagher related in his Post article how, in the late 1980s, he was “introduced to a self-styled Satanic high priestess. She called herself a witch and dressed the part, with flowing dark clothes and black eye shadow around to her temples. In our many discussions, she acknowledged worshipping Satan as his ‘queen.’” He was skeptical but discovered too many things his training could not explain. The woman knew how his own mother had died of ovarian cancer. She knew people’s secret weaknesses. Six people witnessed her speak Latin and other languages unknown to her when she was not in a trance. “This was not psychosis; it was what I can only describe as paranormal ability,” wrote Gallagher. “I concluded that she was possessed.” That episode launched what he called an unlikely partnership, as he became a psychiatrist who works with exorcists. Gallagher has had several hundred consultations with clergy from several denominations and faiths during the past two-and-a-half decades. Although he says cases of genuine possession are rare, he finds certain extremely uncommon cases can be explained no other way. “I believe I’ve seen the real thing,” he wrote. He can readily recognize mental illness, “But what am I supposed to make of patients who unexpectedly start speaking perfect Latin?” Gallagher does not diagnose possession. He rules out medical or psychiatric disorders and then, he told WND, “I let the clergy, the spiritual professionals, make up their own mind.” The majority of the people he evaluates in consultation with clergy suffer from conventional mental or physical disorders. Gallagher emphasized, “There are many mentally ill people who think they are attacked by demons who are not, in my opinion. They have a mental illness. Or another type of illness. It is important that those people get medical help. I’m a physician after all, and I’m very well trained.” “On the other hand,” he added, “in these other cases, which I believe a very trained person can distinguish fairly clearly from illnesses, I believe those people need spiritual help.” The doctor also made it clear that he, himself, was not treating the possessed, and they are not patients of his. “I’m certainly not an exorcist or anything like that. I’m not a clergy member. I’m not really doing anything that’s frowned upon professionally.” Gallagher indicated that his work with the clergy has not had a negative effect on his career. “I really haven’t gotten negative comments from other doctors. Psychiatry is a little more open to the value of spirituality these days. Everybody’s got to have their opinion,” he said with a gentle chuckle. “And I’m sure a lot of people don’t agree with me, but these are cases that people asked me to comment on. And we all have academic and religious freedom to be able to do that.” Get the hottest, most important news stories on the Internet – delivered FREE to your inbox as soon as they break! Take just 30 seconds and sign up for WND’s Email News Alerts! Gallagher is writing a book on his experiences. When asked how it will expand upon the topic, he first described how the Post had asked him to write an essay describing what it was like for an academic psychiatrist to be involved in helping clergy discern whether something goes beyond a natural illness or mental disorder and reaches something that might be a possession. “What they really didn’t ask me to do,” he explained, “was make a more scientific case, you might say, for the idea of demonic possession. The book essentially does that. It expands the article drastically, obviously, and talks about a few cases in the United States and also makes more of a scientific argument for the reality of demonic possession.” WND asked if he had garnered any clues as to what might make a person susceptible to possession, or what causes it? He said there are a few things, but, “The most common is that somebody has sort of turned to the occult world or even turned to evil.” Gallagher referred to the woman mentioned in his article, “who was an out and out Satanist. She worshiped Satan. I don’t think there’s a lot of those people, but she was the real deal, and that was kind of a classic situation that would open up one to a possession.” Had he ever spoken with one of these evil spirits? “No, I don’t speak to the spirits,” he replied. “I’m not an exorcist. I’ve been to a number of exorcisms as a witness, as a medical professional monitoring things. But I’ve never spoken to them.” But they’ve spoken to him. “I’ve had a couple of evil spirits say something to me. For instance, very obnoxiously, sometimes they’ll say something like, ‘How is your son?” I find it obnoxious and intrusive to bring a family member into this.” “They actually did say something about the book,” the doctor somewhat marveled. “I had a demon say, ‘Well, have you finished the book? It’s not going to do any good, anyway,’ which I thought was an attempt to discourage me from publishing the results of my findings.” Had he ever felt in danger or suffered anything he felt was retaliation? “I’ve dealt with a cult or two, I’ve had some threatening remarks, not directly from a demon but from cult members. I don’t believe I’ve suffered any specific spiritual attack, no.” What were the most common signs of possession that he had seen? Was there some kind of pattern? “There’s pretty much always a pattern. The most common kind of possession is the person will go into a trance and doesn’t even remember a voice coming out of them. The voice during this trance state expresses a lot of hatred of religious and sacred things. It indicates they are the sort of personality who wants to torment the individual.” Possession often also involves things difficult to explain. “They may exhibit a hidden knowledge of things. They may well speak foreign languages. And in the process of clergy trying to help these individuals, they often will fight dramatically against being restrained and kind of exhibit incredible strength, generally, for sustained periods that appears to an onlooker just incredible.” In his article, Gallagher made a distinction between a full-fledged possession of a person by an evil spirit and a slightly more common but less severe phenomenon called oppression. WND asked, what would be a symptom of oppression as opposed to the inexplicable things he has seen in possessions? “It’s also inexplicable things,” he explained. “It’s of a more minor degree but the person may, for instance, feel beat up by invisible forces, they may be interfered with in fairly dramatic ways with, say their spiritual practices.” For example, he said, “They may be trying to pray and it’s obvious to everybody that, in a dramatic way, they are interfered with, when they try to pray or something.” WND mentioned having heard of pastors who reported treating oppressions with some frequency. Did Gallagher think it was possible that oppression could be more common, just widely undiagnosed? “No, I don’t think it’s common,” the psychiatrist responded softly but authoritatively. “It’s certainly not as rare as possession. I’m defining oppression as some fairly clear demonic attack that doesn’t reach the level of a possession. I don’t think it’s routine. I think if someone is seeing it as routine, one has to be very cautious about that.” Gallagher mentioned in his article that demand for exorcists was rising. Did he believe possessions were increasing, or that recognizing them has become more common? “I think it’s probably both,” he reflected. “I think these things go in waves in history. I think in the last 20 years, or so, there’s been a rise in the recognition and requests for something like exorcism.” He said there also may be more people who have turned to what he described as “kind of anti-Christian and occult sources,” and, “I think there may well be more people who have opened themselves up to demonic attack or possession. Although, it’s obviously very difficult to pin that sort of thing down.” However, he added, “I have no doubt that in certain areas of the world, in certain areas of the developing world, in places like Haiti for instance, there’s always been a certain amount of demonic activity going on in those countries where there are very few people who don’t believe in the devil or evil spirits.” WND noted that people treated with anti-depressants are warned of rare side-effects including suicidal and homicidal thoughts. Did the psychiatrist believe that such medications might make people more susceptible to possession? “No, I don’t,” he replied without hesitation. “I think mental illness is a different thing from spiritual attack entirely. People who have psychiatric or psychological problems need psychiatric and psychological help. The medications are not perfect but can often be extremely helpful. I don’t think they in any way lower the susceptibility for demonic influence.” When asked what was the strangest thing he had seen that he believed was a sign of possession, Gallagher recalled a woman who came to him “who had been in contact with some kind of practitioner of black magic and she revealed the name of two spirits.” One of them was a spirit he had witnessed in the case of a woman a thousand miles away from where he lived. The other was the name of a spirit in a boy who came to see him two weeks later. “So, that was pretty remarkable. In other words, the woman was getting these names of two spirits, but she didn’t really know what they meant. One from a case I was already dealing with and another was a case that I was going to be dealing with in the near future. That was pretty amazing.” It was then that he also phone recalled the phone conversation with the priest that was interrupted by an evil spirit. Did it alter his worldview when he experienced something like that? “Well, by that point, I believed in spirits but it was still pretty amazing to hear that.” WND asked the doctor, who has described himself as a practicing Catholic, if he believed it possible that humans interact with the spiritual world on a regular basis, perhaps unknowingly? “I think I have a pretty typically Christian view of that,” he replied. “I do think that evil spirits cannot take away people’s free will, so people are still free, but, they do try to influence us. And I’m sure to some extent angels and God watch over us to. So, I guess I would answer your question positively. Had he ever seen evidence of beneficent or angelic spirits? “I think there are people who have benefited from praying to good spirits or guardian angels as well as to God. You know, sometimes people do seem to get answers to these prayers. I think that’s possible, yes.” How had his work affected his faith? “It’s undoubtedly deepened it,” he answered softly but without hesitation. “I mean, it’s hard to deal with the amount of people I’ve dealt with without believing pretty strongly in the world of evil spirits.” Given his experiences and beliefs, did he believe there is a spiritual war between good and evil? “Absolutely.”

The Law Of The Jungle Is Far Superior To The Ideology Of Globalism

Wednesday, 27 July 2016 02:37 Brandon Smith

In 1991 George Bush Sr., in at least two separate speeches, announced an active geopolitical endgame for global stability; something he called the “New World Order.” This was not the first time the concept of the NWO had been uttered by a prominent figure. Fabian socialist H.G. Welles wrote an entire book on the ideology decades before, in 1940, entitled 'The New World Order', and even scripted a thinly veiled propaganda film on the rise of globalism titled 'Things To Come'. The core of this ideology is the institution of global governance and the erasure of sovereign nation states, ostensibly in order to end the persistent threat of world war. It all sounds very noble on the surface, but there is much more to total globalization that the elites do not discuss very openly or very often. A key quote from Bush’s White House speech to the nation on the eve of Operation Desert Storm in Iraq explains much behind the NWO concept: “We have before us the opportunity to forge for ourselves and for future generations a new world order — a world where the rule of law, not the law of the jungle, governs the conduct of nations. When we are successful — and we will be — we have a real chance at this new world order, an order in which a credible United Nations can use its peacekeeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of the U.N.’s founders.” The questions are, what did he mean by the “rule of law,” and what did he mean by the “law of the jungle?” As Bush clarifies further, the “rule of law” in his mind is the law as enforced by a globalist governing body (i.e. the UN). The “law of the jungle” would invariably be everything that represents the opposite of globalism (i.e. wild and unshackled sovereignty). The "law of the jungle" sounds harsh and unforgiving, and it is, for people who do not pursue greater imperatives and who do not work hard to reach their ultimate potential. This idea is often misconstrued as "fascist" in its origins. That is to say, people commonly assume the law of the jungle is merely the subjugation of the weak by the strong. This is how the globalists WANT you to view sovereignty, national or tribal identity, individualism, etc.; they want you to see these principles as akin to savagery. In truth, it is the elites that promote savagery as the core of globalism, though it is to be sure a highly sterilized and scientific form of savagery. Their "rule of law" is entirely arbitrary - it is not based in the light of conscience, but on darker desires of artificial advantage for the ruling class and the oppression of everyone else. A better interpretation of the law of the jungle would be that it is a more colorful description of "natural law", the inborn right of self determination guided by inherent conscience. Under natural law, bureaucratic governance serves little purpose. It becomes obsolete. While the law of the jungle is not easy or carefree or eternally "safe", I think there are many virtues to a “natural”, unfettered and decentralized way of life far above the mindless homogenization and collectivism of the globalist ideal. Here are just a few examples on why humanity would be much better off living wild and free rather than living an inhibited and micromanaged existence under a global authority. Surviving In The Jungle Requires Strength And Intelligence A shallow interpretation of the law of the jungle would argue that “only the strong survive.” Collectivists would claim that this is unfair to the weak and ultimately barbaric in principle. I disagree. The assumption these people make is that the “weak” cannot improve their circumstances and therefore require constant babysitting by a central authority. However, if you actually allow people to be challenged rather than coddled, it can be surprising how strong they become. Globalism destroys the environmental conditions that inspire excellence and instead rewards and protects mediocrity. Take for example the problems regarding “too big to fail” banks; these institutions are really failures in every respect and, like wounded gazelles, should be given a quick death. But under the theory of globalization the strategy has (so far) been to keep these failures limping along. In other words, the incentive for success has been undermined and weakness has been rewarded. In this way, not just in the business world but also in the social world, globalism encourages people to accomplish as little as possible and comforts them with promises of being forever nurtured by the global nanny state. If this kind of world becomes an absolute, society will decay and revert to something subhuman. All evolutionary progress will be lost. Surviving In The Jungle Requires Merit You have to be useful in the jungle; you have to produce, repair or teach something truly valuable. You have to build. You have to innovate. You have to invent. You have put in the effort to take control of your destiny. You have to prove your merit if you want to thrive. Under globalism, none of this behavior is really necessary or rewarded. One of the early phases of collectivism, as it establishes its control base, is to forcefully “equalize” all existing elements. This means that collectivist societies often oppress the naturally successful and debase a population until they all meet the same standards of the lowest common denominator. The small but vocal movement of social justice cultists in the West is a perfect example of the collectivist narrative inherent in globalism. If any movement embodies anti-merit, it is the social justice warriors. The social justice presumption of life is that all human beings must be treated as if they have merit, and this is often based on their level of victim status rather than their accomplishments. For example, in my article “Why Conscripting Women Into Combat Will Result In Cultural Disaster,” I outlined the outright progressive dismantling of U.S. military training standards in order to open the door for far weaker females to enter active combat units. Superior merit is being systematically removed from the military in order to make way for homogenization based on mediocrity. And while the law of the jungle does not call for a standing military, the fact remains that the loss of merit will invariably lead to a weaker military overall. I have even seen SJW men argue that they must promote the lowest common denominator under movements like feminism because in a culture based on merit, they personally would have no chance at survival. They claim they are too weak to undertake traditional male roles of production and protection and thus opt for the laziness and safety of the collective rather than bettering themselves. In the jungle, the willfully useless would be quickly eaten, or they would die simply due to their own stupidity and sloth; and I have to say, I’m not so sure that’s a bad thing. When you give the least successful people the keys to the foundation of your society you discourage the truly successful from pursuing further excellence. The goal for a person who really wants to make their way in such a world would then be to gain as much victim status as possible in order to get the most rewards. Merit becomes superfluous. Under globalism, this SJW nightmare would achieve world-wide recognition and political promotion. Survival In The Jungle Requires The Will For Self Defense The globalist ideal is rooted in pacifism. That is to say aggressive defense by the average individual is treated as either unscrupulous or futile. Why learn how to protect your own life and the lives of others when you can keep your hands clean and have the establishment do it for you? Why not support global governance, end the law of the jungle and put an armed sentry and surveillance camera on every street corner to ward off potential predators? Why not trade all self determination for the promise of endless comfort and a carefree existence? The problem is, as we have seen in numerous instances in highly self-defense-restricted environments in Europe, the state cannot and will never be able to fulfill its empty promises of constant protection. At bottom, the only promise the authorities can keep is that they will quickly clean up the mess left behind by your corpse after an attack has already occurred. And, as we have seen in other instances in the U.S., the authorities are sometimes also the assailants. In the jungle, there are no pacifists. They are all dead, or they have converted to a self defense mindset. Pacifists therefore need a collectivist herd to blend into so that they can hide, or so that the guy next to them can be eaten while they make their escape. Globalism requires the dilution of an actively vigilant population because the philosophy of self defense leads naturally to an appreciation for individual action. Centralized government cannot take control of a citizenry that has the will to strike back on its own against predators. Anyone who promotes a pacifist response is merely aiding the predators, and this includes people who promote a pacifist response towards predatory governments. If the average person lived by the law of the jungle rather than waiting for a “civilized” authority to protect them or parcel out the freedoms they were born with as if they were privileges, predatory governments would no longer exist. The Law Of The Jungle Requires Freedom In All Things You cannot act in the jungle if you are restricted by bureaucracy and collectivist niceties. And if you cannot act freely in the jungle then you will die in the jungle. Therefore, the jungle and the globalist system are mutually exclusive environments. This does not mean that in the jungle there are no consequences for taking undue actions that harm others. As in the Libertarian concept of the non-aggression principle, it is far better to leave others alone to pursue their own prosperity, first because it is the right thing to do, but also because they may have means of self defense just as you do. To try to control the lives of others, the thoughts of others, the language of others, the personal associations of others, the property rights of others, is to elicit a justified backlash and the loss of your own life. To be a predator in the jungle is not without ample risk, most animals will defend themselves when cornered and an injured predator could end up a dead predator. But to be a predator in a globalist world populated with unarmed sheep means there is little risk, especially when you are sanctioned by the establishment. The jungle is a place where meaningful progress serving the individual is essential, for even a jungle tribe is only as strong as the individuals that make up its ranks. The globalist world is a place where meaningful progress is stifled and strong individuals are treated as a threat. Globalism requires a collectivist machine, a hive mind in which the individual is only a piston in the apparatus. Globalism displaces creative thinking in the name of efficiency, and murders innovation. A globalist society would be a static society, frozen in an endless cycle of conformity and sameness. The only beneficiaries would be those at the top of the pyramid, who, as in all collectivist ventures, reap the majority of the rewards because they are the people who get to redistribute the wealth of production in any manner they see fit. In the jungle, these redistributors would be seen as useless middlemen, parasitic gatekeepers standing in the way of production and prosperity, drinking their share of blood from every transaction and every invention; stealing earned wealth from the successful in order to feed another army of people they have encouraged to also become parasites through the ideology of anti-merit. In the jungle, in a free world, people would immediately question why these middlemen posing as authority figures and financiers should exist at all? What purpose do they serve? They certainly have no merit. They are not successful because they are better than anyone else at anything necessary. They are not hunter gatherers, they are not producers, they are not defenders, they are not teachers, and they are not fixers. They feed off the rest of us but they are not active and honest competitors. They are not lions or tigers or bears. They are vicious scavengers. Carrion feeders or thieves. They are rabid hyenas and jackals looking to nibble a piece at time from us when while we are distracted. In the jungle, these vermin are often present but certainly not welcome. At any opportunity they are squashed. In this way it is understandable why globalists would be so afraid of the jungle.

Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson: Media Controlled by ‘Satan’

by Dan Riehl22 Jul 2016Washington, DC

In discussing media criticisms of Donald Trump as a “fascist,” Duck Dynasty star, Duck Commander Phil Robertson, told Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon of those outlets, “What they actually are, they’re controlled by “Satan,” or “the evil one.” “There’s two great powers at work. There’s good–that’s God–and evil. You have the larger portion who are controlled by the evil one,” said Robertson. His comments came during a conversation about America today from a spiritual perspective. The U.S., said Robertson, “is in a spiritual crisis, no doubt about that.” Among other topics, he discussed the general welfare of America in religious terms.

Bernie Caught on Hot Mic Proves He Was Never a ‘Real’ Candidate (Video)

By Voice of Reason · Wednesday, July 27th, 2016

Earlier today, in a YouTube video titled, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies and More Lies. The Lies NEVER End, I teed off about how the political class and the globalist controlled corrupt mainstream media are using pathological lies and a never ending series of cover-ups to lead the masses directly into the voting booth in November to vote for Hillary. Furthermore, what the political class and the globalists clearly already know, but that Hillary voters don’t seem to have a clue about, is that once Hillary is elected, she will take delight in personally leading the same sheep that voted for her directly to slaughter. In news that came out today, news that the mainstream media won’t even mention, much less harp on, we learned that Bernie was caught on a hot mic confirming what everyone with an IQ over 6 has known all along: That the elections are 95% rigged in advance, and in the case of Democrats, that number is closer to 150% because the corruption is so rampant, and so systemic within the Democrat party, that it flows through the party the same way red blood flows through humans. That is only the tip of the iceberg. With Hillary, the percentage is somewhere north of 375% rigged. Hillary Clinton is perhaps the most corrupt politician in U.S. history to run for the White House, and with each passing day we learn that her bid for the Oval Office could be compared to a giant case of corruption, wrapped in a protective layer of corruption, protected by an army of corrupt mercenaries, and a corrupt law enforcement agency willing to look the other way, provided the price is right and they all get new military hardware. Think I'm kidding? Wow. In the first video, watch what happens when the DNC attempted to force Hillary down the throats of everyone in Philadelphia, even Bernie supporters. Each time speakers mention Hillary’s name, all you can hear is “Boooooooooooooooooo!” It should be noted that even though most of the general public doesn't know, Team Corruption knows, that Hillary is being sued for stealing the Primary in 11 states from Bernie. More on that in the second video. One would think that knowing they stole the election, the Clinton camp might tread a bit lightly. No such luck. Personally I had NO idea the atmosphere got that bad. I couldn’t even watch the RNC without wanting to vomit half the time, so there was no way I was going to watch the DNC. With that said, I did have the news on all day today in the background, but had NO idea it got THAT bad last night until I saw the video below. Now, as for the rest of this post, if you were a Bernie supporter, you might want to close out of this post right now. What you’re going to learn is going to rip your beating heart right out of your chest, throw it on the ground, stomp on it until it stops beating, and then feed it to hungry mountain lions that haven’t eaten in two weeks. It’s bad. Because of who controls academia and the media, most Americans who heard Dr. Carson say that Hillary worships Lucifer probably thought either 1) Dr. Carson was nuts; or 2) He was using a metaphor or something. The truth is, Dr. Carson was 100% on point when he said Hillary worships Lucifer, but I’ll come back to that. Facebook

The truth is, Dr. Carson was 100% on point when he said Hillary worships Lucifer, but I’ll come back to that. Subscribe to our mailing list First, in the video below, you'll learn that the yardstick used by the US government to identify fraud in foreign elections is when there is a discrepancy of greater than 2% between election polls and exit polls. In the case of the Democrat primary, there is strong indication there was massive fraud in 11 states. All the discrepancies favored Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders, and the range went as high as a 14% discrepancy. Said another way: It's not possible there wasn't fraud on Hillary's part. The Institute for American Democracy and Election Integrity is about to file a lawsuit against Hillary alleging racketeering. Mark your calendar. You'll never see the words Election, Integrity, and Clinton in a sentence together ever again as long as you live, nor should you. Then there’s the issue of Bernie, his wife, and the hot mic they didn’t know was hot. Wow. Throughout the campaign, his supporters actually believed that Bernie was a "different" kind of politician. They felt that no matter what Bernie said, at least he was honest, and he was sincere in the things he said, right? WRONG! Thanks to Wikileaks, now the whole world knows what Bernie has known all along, which is that the DNC had already rigged the process in Hillary’s favor. What's disgusting, is that despite knowing that, it sure didn’t stop Captain Honesty from continuing to collect campaign donations from poor, but hopeful voters, now did it? In the video below, you’ll see that Bernie was booed off stage by his loyal supporters for towing the company line and saying, “I’m proud to stand with her,” referring to crooked Hillary. Imagine if they knew what was said on the hot mic. You’ll find out in the video below. Wow. How pathetic is it that THIS is what Hillary Clinton has to resort to, just so she can have a CHANCE at winning the presidential election? She has to lie, cheat, engage is rampant corruption, and make voters feel so desperate that they think they have no other choice but to vote for her. Pathetic. Finally, on the issue of Hillary worshipping Lucifer. I said I’d come back to that. In truth, if you do your homework about the Illuminati, you’ll learn that the Illuminati believe they are the ACTUAL LINEAL DESCENDANTS of the great Gods of Egypt known as ISIS, OSIRIS and HORUS. Said another way, it’s who they worship, and Nimrod/Shiva are synonymous with Horus/Osiris, who are synonymous with Bael/Baal, who are synonymous with Lucifer/Satan! You can learn more about all that in posts titled 1) What Lost Pieces of Human History are the Illuminati Hiding and Why, or 2) People Don’t Comprehend How Twisted the Illuminati “Religion” Is (Videos). All of that is more or less just window dressing for the last video though. Once again, not a word from the mainstream media. It’s hard to say if this was a seizure of some kind, or what it really was, but a seizure seems highly unlikely considering the smile on Hillary’s face the whole time. One thing is certain: Whatever it was, it was NOT normal. When the video is played in slow motion, look at the faces of the people around her. They are as freaked out as can be. Then, read the comments on YouTube for the video. Some have gone as far as to suggest a demon wanted out of her, and she was fighting to keep it in. Crazy? I don’t know…. no more crazy than whatever the heck she’s doing… without any explanation, or anyone in the media saying one word. THAT is crazy!

Deutsche Bank's Cryan Moots More Drastic Restructuring as Profit Falls 98%

Quarterly revenue plunges by a fifth at the German lender.

Laura Board Laura Board Follow Jul 27, 2016 2:07 AM EDT

Deutsche Bank (DB) CEO John Cryan said the bank may need to step up its restructuring program as it reported a 98% decline in quarterly net profit to €20 million ($22 million). Germany's leading lender said it has already arranged to cut 3,000 jobs in its home market, pour its U.S. operations into an intermediate holding company and to separate retail lender Postbank, which it wants to partially spin off next year. The company delivered the update as it announced a 20% decline to €7.4 billion in quarterly revenue, which it said reflected a "challenging environment and strategic decisions." Its core equity Tier One ratio rose to 10.8% from 10.7%, in line with expectations, while the €20 million net profit figure was below the €22 million consensus in a Bloomberg forecast. "While our results show that we are undergoing a sustained restructuring, we are satisfied with the progress we are making," said Cryan. "We have continued to de-risk our balance sheet, to invest in our processes and to modernize our infrastructure. However, if the current weak economic environment persists, we will need to be yet more ambitious in the timing and intensity of our restructuring." Deutsche Bank shares closed down 1.9% at €12.88. They have lost 57% of their value in the past year. We'll have a full story later.

ISIS Horror: Terrorists Who Killed Priest on Hit List Were Known Islamic Radicals

By Samuel Smith , CP Reporter July 28, 2016|2:07 pm

Both killers involved in the brutal murder of French Priest Jacques Hamel and the kidnapping of five people during a raid on morning mass at a Catholic church in Normandy, France, have been identified.

Days after 19-year-old Adel Kermiche from Northern France was identified as one of the two men who raided the Church of the Gambetta in the Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray district of Normandy on Tuesday, the second assailant has also been identified as 19-year-old Abdel-Malik Nabil Petitjean from Eastern France. The two men stabbed Hamel in the chest, slit his throat and wounded others held hostage inside the church. According to The Associated Press, French prosecutors used DNA tests to identify Petitjean. Additionally, a security official confirmed that Petitjean was the unidentified man featured in a photo distributed to police with a warning that he might be plotting an attack. Petitjean and Kermiche were both shot and killed by authorities as they exited the church after they murdered the priest. According to the security official, Petitjean was spotted at a Turkish airport going to Syria on June 10. However, the official said he did not go to Syria. Instead, he "turned around" and returned to France on June 11. He wasn't pointed out to French authorities until June 29. Kermiche, who was identified via fingerprints, was also known to have ties to radical terrorists and twice tried to join the Islamic State in Syria. Kermiche's first attempt ended with him being stopped by German police in March 2015 and sent back to France. He was given parole and was awaiting trial. French CRS police stand guard in front of the church a day after a hostage-taking in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray near Rouen in Normandy, France, where French priest, Father Jacques Hamel, was killed with a knife and another hostage seriously wounded in an attack on the church that was carried out by assailants linked to Islamic State, July 27, 2016. Kermiche again tried to travel to Syria two months later, this time through Turkey. He was caught and sent back to France again. French authorities initially jailed Kermiche. However, he was later released by a judge and placed under house arrest with a monitoring bracelet at his parents' house as he awaited trial. Since Kermiche's house arrest was limited, his bracelet was turned off everyday from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., BBC reports. The Christian Post reported on Wednesday that the Church of the Gambetta was found on an Islamic State hit list from 2015. The terror group claimed responsibility for the attack on Wednesday by releasing a video purporting to show the two teenagers pledging their allegiance to the jihadists. The Associated Press reports that Kermiche identified himself in the video by the nom-de-guerre Abul Jaleel al-Hanafi and identified Petitjean by the name Ibn Omar. In Arabic, Kermiche is shown pledging allegiance to the leader of the IS. "We pledge allegiance and obedience to Emir of the faithful Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in hardship and in ease," Kermiche is quoted as saying. In light of the fact that the teenagers' radicalization and attempts to travel to Syria were known to authorities, the French government has been widely criticized for failing to protect its citizens. According to The Guardian, a teenager who knew Kermiche told RTL Radio that he made no secret of his desire to attack the church. "I wasn't surprised. He talked about it all the time," he said. "He talked about Islam, the things like this he was going to do. He talked about the Quran and Mecca and he told me 'I'm going to attack a church.' He said this two months ago on leaving the mosque. On my mother's life I didn't believe him."

FBI director warns of ‘terrorist diaspora out of Syria like we’ve never seen before’

By Douglas Ernst - The Washington Times - Thursday, July 28, 2016

FBI Director James B. Comey on Wednesday told a cyber security conference in New York that Americans can expect to see a “terrorist diaspora” metastasize out of the Middle East. Mr. Comey told an audience at Fordham University that battlefield gains against the Islamic State group in Syria will have the practical effect of scattering terror cells across the globe. “At some point, there is going to be a terrorist diaspora out of Syria like we’ve never seen before,” Mr. Comey said, The New York Times reported Wednesday. “Not all of the Islamic State killers are going to die on the battlefield.” The FBI director went on to say that the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, is a problem that is exponentially more threatening than the emergence of al Qaeda. “This is 10 times that or more,” Mr. Comey said, the newspaper reported. “This is an order of magnitude greater than anything we’ve seen before.” Mr. Comey told reporters earlier in the summer that FBI agents were tracking nearly 1,000 cases of Americans who have been radicalized by Islamic terror groups’ propaganda.

HRW: Thousands of children detained and abused on security grounds

Human Rights Watch has documented mass detention and abuse of children in conflict zones. It said detaining children as security threats was the wrong way to prevent future violence.

Thousands of children in conflict zones have been held for months and sometimes years for alleged involvement with non-state armed groups or conflict-related offenses, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said in a report on Thursday. The New York-based human rights group said in a 35-page report that children held by authorities in six conflict-affected areas have been subject to torture, abuse and arbitrary detention as part of vague and sweeping counter-terrorism laws. "Governments are trampling on children's rights in a misguided and counterproductive response to conflict-related violence," said Jo Becker, children's rights advocacy director at Human Rights Watch. "Governments are detaining thousands of children, without charge, often for months or years, and often subjecting them to torture and ill treatment." "Detaining children is the wrong way to deter them from involvement in future violence," she added. The report examined the violation of children's rights in Afghanistan, Congo, Iraq, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Nigeria and Syria. In Afghanistan, 214 boys were in juvenile rehabilitation centers on suspicion of being Taliban members, attempting suicide bombings, making or placing roadside bombs or providing assistance to armed groups, according to December 2015 Afghan government data. The number of children in detention may be significantly higher, HRW said, noting "torture is routine." In Democratic Republic of Congo, hundreds of children have been arrested and detained for alleged ties to armed groups. Many children are held in appalling conditions and subjected to ill-treatment, HRW said. In Iraq, hundreds of children have been detained for alleged association with armed groups, including the so-called "Islamic State." "Security authorities commonly hold suspects, particularly terrorism suspects, incommunicado for weeks or months following arrest," often without lawyers, HRW said. The rights group said Iraqi security forces have arrested women and children for alleged terrorism related activities by males in the family. "Arresting family members because of their relationships to suspects, without evidence they have committed a crime, violates international law and amounts to collective punishment," HRW said. Israel prosecutes between 500 and 700 Palestinian children in military courts every year, HRW said, most for throwing stones at Israel soldiers or illegal settlers in the West Bank. Prosecution of children in military courts without specialized juvenile justice safe guards is a violation of international law. Six Palestinian children were also in prolonged detention without charges or a trial. "Large numbers of former child detainees have reported ill-treatment by Israeli security forces, including beatings, kicking, strip-searches, verbal abuse, and threats of sexual violence," the report said. In Nigeria, where government forces are battling the extremist group Boko Haram, hundreds children have been rounded up and detained by authorities, HRW said. Boko Haram has recruited and kidnapped hundreds of child soldiers and used some as suicide bombers. In Syria, at least 1,433 children have been detained, but only 436 have been released, HRW said, citing the Violations Documentation Center in Syria. Torture, arbitrary arrest and other abuses were reported. The status of many detained children in the war wracked country remain unknown. DW recommends Torture at Australian youth center? Abuse of Australian aboriginal boys at a youth jail near Darwin could amount to torture, says a UN special rapporteur.

Right to Homeschool Children under Attack in California

Veronica Neffinger | Editor, ChristianHeadlines.com | Thursday, July 28, 2016

The Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) has reported that the right to homeschool children is under attack in California. HSLDA reports that its members in the San Benito High School District recently received a letter stating, “[U]nder California Law, a home school is not a private school, nor is it a lawful alternative to public school…" Homeschool advocates were confused as to why this letter was sent because back in 2008, a court case had already established that homeschooling was legal in California. That case, known as Jonathan L. ultimately concluded, after a pro-homeschooling coalition stated their case, that homeschooling was permitted in California under the designation of a private school “California statutes permit home schooling as a species of private school education,” said the ruling. HSLDA questioned why the right to homeschool in California is now under attack once again. The organization encouraged homeschool advocates to join HSLDA and to continue to support the homeschooling movement. Publication date: July 28, 2016

Israeli experience shows challenge in stopping lone wolf attacks

Israel's methods of dealing with lone wolf terror attacks has demonstrated that while they are difficult to stop completely, successful measures can be undertaken to decrease their frequency and success.

AFP|Published: 28.07.16 , 15:51

Israeli authorities, who have faced a wave of lone-wolf terror attacks by Palestinians, say they have made progress in identifying potential assailants in advance, a challenge now also confronting Western nations. Recent attacks in Europe and the United States have brought renewed attention to lone assailants and what can be done to stop them or reduce their impact. While the challenge of halting such assaults can seem next to impossible, Israeli officials say an alert system incorporating social media monitoring, basic human intelligence and other means has helped prevent or limit bloodshed. Analysts say that such efforts will always be limited, however, and rights activists question whether abuses are taking place. Israeli officials nonetheless say methods developed since October have proved useful. Most of the Palestinians killed were carrying out knife, gun or car-ramming attacks, Israeli authorities say, and the vast majority were acting alone. "We understand that once we assembled three or four profiles, most of the attackers were inside those specific lines of those profiles," a senior Israeli military official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Alert system Israel's military has developed an alert system that flags up those seen as potentially dangerous, the official said. It is based on analyses of assailants since October, including their backgrounds, where they chose to act and their activities in the days before an attack. With the list of names narrowed, Israeli authorities decide how to address the situation. The response can include a range of strategies, such as monitoring, speaking to someone's parents or an arrest if the person is found to have broken the law by inciting violence, the official said. Security measures were also tightened in areas seen as potential targets. The number of attacks overall has steadily declined in recent months, although various factors are believed to be behind this. Israeli authorities say it is difficult to give figures on how many lone-wolf attacks have been prevented by their efforts, but the military official pointed to one case as an example. In March, a Palestinian girl, reportedly 17, was caught and arrested with a knife in a taxi on her way to an Israeli checkpoint, the official said. The official said the girl had trouble with her parents and was suicidal, possibly wanting to attack soldiers as a way of dying as a martyr. "It was one of the reasons we tracked her," the official said. The military's analysis of attackers shows that most have been 24 or younger, and some 90 percent were male, the official said. Among the first 80 to 90 attackers from October to January, suicide was among the motives for around 40 percent, he added. Military justice Some experts say the type of analyses and follow-up being done by the Israeli military, with the help of algorithms to narrow down social media chatter, can have an effect and be applied elsewhere. "It can't, of course, completely stop this wave of terror in Israel and the same in other places -- in Europe for example," said Daniel Cohen, an expert on cyber-terrorism at Israel's Institute for National Security Studies. Such efforts must also be accompanied by what he called "counter-narrative campaigns", or positive messages that try to convince young people that they should not want to die or carry out an attack. Such campaigns could be related to economic opportunities or sports, Cohen said. Others caution over putting too much faith in monitoring. "Watch-lists and monitoring instil a false sense of security, providing authorities with information after a terror attack occurs, but little deterrence or disruption prior to an attack," US-based security consultancy The Soufan Group said in comments after jihadists killed an elderly priest in France on Tuesday. "Surveillance is extremely difficult and costly in terms of time and personnel, and is only a feasible option in a fraction of France's growing terror caseload."

Analysis: Islamic State's first act of war on European Christianity

ISIS has already been waging war on Christians in Iraq and Syria, committing countless atrocities. Regardless of whether Tuesday’s attack was the work of Islamic State or whether it was merely inspired by the jihadi rhetoric emanating from the so-called caliphate, its symbolism is hard to ignore. Previous attacks in France perpetrated by Islamic State and in its name have been against freedom of speech (Charlie Hebdo), Western liberalism (the Bataclan theater), the ideals of the French Revolution, which stand at the heart of Western thought (the Bastille Day truck attack in Nice)and against Jews (Hyper Cacher). Now, Islamic State has successfully committed its first act of war on European Christianity itself by taking hostages in a church and slitting the throat of an octogenarian priest as they forced him to kneel and then filmed themselves preaching in Arabic at the altar. It has been long expected. In April of last year, Sid Ahmed Ghlam, a 24-year-old computer science student of North African extraction, was arrested after shooting himself in the leg. Police suspected him of planning a terrorist attack and a search of his car and apartment found four Kalashnikov rifles, two handguns and a number of bulletproof vests. Prosecutors said he had been in contact with foreign agents in Syria who had expressly told him to carry out an attack on a church. According to some reports, Ghlam had compiled a list of possible targets, including gunning down parishioners outside a church in the Parisian suburb of Villejuif, and attacks on Paris’s iconic Sacré Coeur Basilica and the Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray church itself, the target of Tuesday’s attack. But it didn’t take the fortuitous arrest of Ghlam to realize that Islamic State would step up its campaign to cultivate war between Islam and the West by targeting a Christian symbol. “We will conquer your Rome, break your crosses and enslave your women, by the permission of Allah,” read a statement from Islamic State spokesman Muhammad al-Adnani in 2014. In May, ahead of Ramadan, Adnani called on the “soldiers of the caliphate” to carry out attacks in Europe and the US and to target the “Crusaders.” Islamic State has already been waging war on Christians in Iraq and Syria, committing countless atrocities that in March were declared as genocide by the US Congress. A core part of the terrorist group’s ideology is the belief that an apocalyptic showdown will take place at Dabiq near Aleppo in Syria where the armies of “Rome” – aka Christianity – will be defeated by the armies of Islam. What Islamic State seeks is all-out war to make that apocalyptic vision reality. After two weeks that have seen five attacks committed either by terrorists in the name of Islamic State or by first- and second-generation Muslim migrants in Germany and France, the nightmare scenario of vigilante revenge attacks by right-wing extremists is looming ever closer. That is exactly what Islamic State wants.

THE NATIONAL SUICIDE PARTY

By Lee Duigon July 28, 2016 NewsWithViews.com

Those of you who are thinking, “Donald Trump is not the Righteous Candidate that I’ve been waiting for, so I’ll just sit this one out, or vote third party”—please, folks, please think again. We now know, thanks to thousands of leaked emails, that the Democrat National Committee rigged the primary election against avowed socialist Bernie Sanders (well, at least he’s honest about it)—who in saner times would have been a mere joke candidate. Seeking to tilt the process toward Hillary Clinton, the DNC went far out of its way to undermine Sanders. But they got caught, and now DNC Chairthing Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has been forced to resign, falling on her sword for Hillary. And then on my car radio I heard some Democrat hobgoblin “explaining” how this whole email scandal is… Russia’s fault! Not the DNC’s, O heavens no. Russian hackers, you see—because Putin wants to help Trump and hurt Hillary, which seems, on the face of it, incredible—they stole the DNC’s confidential emails. Stole ‘em! They’re the villains here! There we were, peacefully subverting the election, because we had to cheat to beat an aging socialist, and the Russians come along and tattle on us! It’s those thieving Russians you ought to be mad at, not us. Oh, please. But maybe some of you have forgotten that this weird, illogical defense has worked before. Remember Climategate? Hackers released thousands of emails which showed the “climate scientists” at the East Anglia University Climate Change Coven lying, cheating, suppressing data, and even plotting to get their critics’ kids kicked out of college, all so they could, by sheer skullduggery, impose their will on all mankind. Remember how well that worked? The contents of those emails was quietly dropped out of the nooze reportage, and replaced by indignation against those thieving hackers who dared to do such wicked mischief. And what should have been the biggest scandal of our age received a furtive burial, as if it were the body of a murder victim being hidden by her killer. And please don’t think the Clinton Crowd has given up on “climate change” and the need to Save The Planet by giving them dictatorial powers over us. Just this past weekend, Secretary of State John Kerry jetted off to Vienna to tell a bunch of globalist fat-heads that us common people’s refrigerators and air conditioners are a bigger threat than ISIS. Surely these amenities must be reserved solely for the ruling class! Or else we’re all gonna die, blah-blah. Do you really think this evil nonsense will stop if Hillary Clinton is elected president? The plain and simple fact is that Donald Trump, whatever you may think of him, is not Hillary Clinton. He will not be advised by John Kerry, he will not keep Loretta Lynch in office as Attorney General, and he will not throw open our nation’s doors to more illegal immigrants, nor import more un-vetted Muslim “refugees.” If you think he’ll do any of those things, you can’t just say so over and over again. You have to prove it. Please don’t forget that the Democrats are the party that booed God at their last national convention. Please don’t forget that they have promised to do all those things, and more. If a proposed policy doesn’t hurt America, they won’t be interested in it. And beyond just opposing the Democrats, however necessary that is, ours is a country in dire need of national repentance. We ought to humble ourselves before God, confess our sins, and do something about putting things right. Because if you think the Lord Almighty will bless our country as it’s going now, if you think He will protect us if we don’t repent and change our ways, then you are embarking upon a potentially suicidal gamble. I have discussed these topics, and others, on my blog, http://leeduigon.com, throughout the week. Please stop by and read! All it takes is just one click to get you there.

Watch the breathtaking Japanese volcanic eruption that created giant plumes of ash 5,000 metres high and even lightning

Sakurajima's last major eruption in 2013 with a 5,000m ash plume

Mount Sakruajima's eruption is the 47th to occur in Japan this year

Japan Meteorological Agency has implemented a level 3 alert and is asking people in the area to stay away from volcano which is near a nuclear plant

By Stacy Liberatore For Dailymail.com Published: 15:23 EST, 27 July 2016 | Updated: 15:59 EST, 27 July 2016

Plumes of smoke, cracks of lighting and a flow of lava came bellowing out of Japan’s Mount Sakruajima this week. Located in a scenic bay on the southern island of Kyushu, this 1,117 meter high volcano has been a sleeping giant for the past three years prior to this fiery spectacle. The incident took place at 12:02 am on Tuesday at the mountain’s Showa crater, which resulted in a 5,000 meter high column of ash - but officials say no fatalities have been reported Sakurajima's last major eruption took place in 2013 and spewed the same an ash plume of around 5,000 meters into the air - causing damages but no major injuries. The current eruption is still alive and officials have not reported any major changes about the rate of ash spewing from the large opening. However, Japan Meteorological Agency has implemented a level 3 alert and is asking people in the area to stay away from the angry giant that is located just 50 km from a nuclear power plant in Sendai, reports The TeCake. This plant, Fukushima power plant, had been closed from 2011 to 2015 due to an accident that was brought about by an earthquake and tsunami. There are scores of active volcanoes in Japan, which sits on the so-called 'Ring of Fire', where a large proportion of the world's quakes and eruptions are recorded. And the furry unleashed from Mount Sakruajima this week marks the 47th eruption in Japan this year. Experts have voiced concerns about the volcanic activity on the Pacific Island, primarily that it could be completely wiped by one massive eruption in the next century – killing all of its some 127 million inhabitants.

Welcome to Rio, don't mind the dead bodies: Bloated CORPSE floats in bay where Olympic swimmers and sailors will compete - as athletes are warned to 'keep their mouths closed' because water is full of 'human crap'

Competitors told to keep their mouths shut because of pollution in Rio as waters are still badly contaminated

Marathon swimmers will 'literally be swimming in human crap' Dr. Daniel Becker warned

Australian sailors Olympic preparations are being hampered as rubbish pollutes water they practice in

Guanabara Bay is site of windsurfing and sailing events, while Copacabana Beach hosts marathon swimming

By John Carney and Cameron Phelps For Daily Mail Australia and Aap Published: 19:39 EST, 27 July 2016 | Updated: 02:23 EST, 28 July 2016

Competitors taking part in some of the aquatic events at the Rio Olympics next month have been warned not to open their mouths to avoid catching serious illnesses from the polluted water. Health experts warned Olympic marathon swimmers, sailors and windsurfers competing in Rio's Guanabara Bay - where a body was found floating in the lead up to the Games - to be ultra careful as the waters are much more contaminated than was previously thought, the Sydney Morning Herald reports. It has been claimed that organisers' efforts to treat the raw sewage and clean up household debris in Guanabara Bay has fallen well short despite recent efforts to clean the area up. Marina da Glória in Guanabara Bay is the site of the windsurfing and sailing events, while the marathon swimming and triathlon competitions are at Copacabana Beach at the mouth of the bay. Environmentalists and scientists have voiced their concerns about Guanabara Bay and Copacabana Beach saying that they are much more contaminated than previously thought. 'We just have to keep our mouths closed when the water sprays up,' Dutch sailing team member Afrodite Zegers said. One Brazilian doctor even warned that Olympic marathon swimmers will 'literally be swimming in human crap'. 'Foreign athletes will literally be swimming in human crap, and they risk getting sick from all those microorganisms,' said Dr. Daniel Becker who works in Rio. Spanish women's sailing team coach Nigel Cochrane described it as 'disgusting' and that they were 'very concerned' about it. As well as recent tests by government and scientists that showed the city's waters were filthy and may even have 'superbacteria', the tourist beaches of Ipanema and Leblon may also be dangerous for Olympic spectators who will flock to Rio to watch the events. Australia's sailors were still running into rubbish and were forced to stop their boats while training on Rio's Olympic courses however. While the raw sewage at Marina da Gloria had been cleaned up, out on Guanabara Bay defending 470 gold medallist Mat Belcher and his partner Will Ryan were still encountering obstacles ranging from dead animals to plastic bags. 'Two or three times a day we would be caught up with rubbish on our foil,' Belcher told AAP from Rio. 'We need to stop, slow the boat down completely and raise our foils. 'It's getting better, hopefully we can get it down to one or two a week.' But, despite organisers' assurances, Belcher still feared rubbish could play a dramatic role in the medal race. 'Yeah, absolutely that could happen,' he said. 'What we've been told is they're going to clean the course prior to each day, they will go on course and ensure that won't happen.' Plastic bags almost cost Belcher and Ryan gold in a 2014 event in Rio when they dropped to last place in the medal race after being forced to stop and clear the rubbish off the boat. They caught up enough places to secure the points to win gold but Belcher was aware it could have been disastrous. 'It had a massive, massive impact. Hopefully that doesn't happen in the Games,' Belcher said. In their nine trips to Rio in the past three years, Belcher and Ryan have hit a chair and an esky on the water as well as countless bag and cans, but have seen some improvement in water quality. 'It's not ideal,' Belcher said. 'Inside the marina there's been a dramatic improvement, it's much more pleasant than having a raw sewage outlet where you launch your boat. 'But the water is still polluted and there's a lot of rubbish. We're hoping organisers can clean that up as we get closer to the Games. 'There's all sorts of rubbish - dead animals, furniture, plastic bags, a lot of coke cans. 'We've certainly heard a lot that they're going to do everything they can to make sure it's clean. We're happy with what they're trying to do.' Belcher teamed with Ryan after winning the 470 class gold medal with Malcolm Page at the London Games in 2012 and the new pair go to Rio as firm favourites after winning three of the past four world championships. But things were no much better back on dry land as pictures earlier this week showed dirty bedrooms, leaking ceilings and exposed wires in Rio's athlete's village which some competitors have branded 'unlivable' and sparked a blank refusal to move in from the Australian team. With nine days until the Olympic Games begins in the Brazilian city, athletes have been arriving at the village which consists of a number of tower blocks. However, they complained that the facilities were not up to scratch with delegates from the Australian, Belorussian and Argentinian teams all expressing concern over the rooms for their competitors.

Non-Lethal Biological Warfare Agents Linked to Autoimmune Disease Epidemic

Posted on July 28, 2016Health And Wellness By Dylan Charles

Chronic and autoimmune diseases are now epidemic in America. Marked by such symptoms as fatigue, brain fog, gastro-intestinal problems, achy joints, low-level fevers, rashes, fibromyalgia, neurodegenerative diseases, obsessive compulsive disorder, and ADHD, these emerging illnesses have become severely debilitating to the public and extremely profitable for pharmaceutical companies who now make billions in palliative treatments aimed at managing symptoms. Very few researchers in the United States are looking at the actual causes of these chronic ailments, and most general practitioners either don’t know about or don’t understand them, often resulting in the over-prescription of unnecessary and ineffective pharmaceuticals, commonly antidepressants. Of the few who are conducting meaningful research, former Chairman of the Medical-Scientific Panel for the Persian Gulf War Veterans Conference, and current president of The Institute for Molecular Medicine, Dr. Garth Nicolson, is the vanguard. According to Nicolson, many of the chronic autoimmune disorders (AD) we see today are the results of genetically modified pathogens designed by the U.S. government as weapons. That is to say, America is infected with non-lethal biological warfare agents that are debilitating and incapacitating millions. His hypothesis: “The emergence of new illnesses and an increase in incidence rate of those with previously described symptoms are due to our increasingly toxic environment and the purposeful development and testing of new weapons of mass destruction.” [Source] Autoimmune Diseases and Disorders Autoimmune diseases, often referred to as autoimmune disorders, occur when the body’s immune system is triggered into attacking its own healthy cells and tissues as if they were invading pathogens. This results in long-term, seemingly impossible to overcome health challenges, as the symptoms tend to come and go, fluctuating between temporary remission and temporary flare-ups, depending on environmental conditions and individual triggers. Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, celiac sprue disease, inflammatory bowel disease, Hashimoto’s disease, and post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome are some of the most common disorders that fit this description, and mainstream wisdom maintains they are incurable. Dr. Nicolson’s research, however, claims to have identified the root causes: bacterial or viral mitochondrial infections that live undetected within cell walls, some of which have been weaponized and released into the general public. The continual presence of such virulent pathogens within the body triggers an auto-immune response, which in turn creates chronic inflammation of tissues and disruptions in the cardiovascular and endocrine symptoms. In particular, Nicolson points to pathogenic mycoplasma, which is known to have been developed by the United States Department of the Army and as a bio-warfare agent. The patent for pathogenic mycoplasma was registered with the American Registry of Pathology in 1991, precisely 25 years ago, and since the the Gulf War of the early 1990’s, there has been an emergence of bitterly hostile infections which explicitly trigger AD, yet testimony from many people who have benefited from Nicolson’s patients demonstrates that a cure is possible. Are We Infected? In her book America is Infected, mother and author Daniela Grace shares the traumatic personal account of how her son contracted Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders (PANDAS) after coming down with strep throat. The viral infection quickly developed into a combination of severe psychological disorders including OCD, ADHD, and oppositional defiance disorder. The family’s ordeal was made even more harrowing by doctors and state agents who seized custody of her son, attempting to force treatment of his illness with psychotropic medications. She came across Dr. Nicolson’s work in her quest to solve this medical mystery, uncovering evidence that pathogenic mycoplasma was released into the general population by the government which had been testing these and similar agents on Texas prison inmates. Mycoplasma is contagious, transmitted from person to person via host viruses and bacteria, meaning that after being exposed in prison, inmates then passed the pathogen onto family members and others outside of the prison system, leading to the widespread outbreak of chronic illness we see today. Candace Brown is another parent with a similar story, which she shared publicly. Here she recalls a conversation with Dr. Nicolson regarding testing on inmates: “I wrote to Dr. Nicolson and explained I had found. He replied promptly and made a statement that shocked me. He stated that the modified mycoplasma fernentans incognitus was for some reason found in especially high numbers in Texas Board of Corrections institutions. When I asked Sally why he was telling me this she stated Dr. Nicolson had been saying for some time that evidence suggested that the inmates at the Texas institutions had been part of a biological warfare weapons experiment as human guinea pigs, and as far back as the late 1960’s and early 1970’s these tests had involved mycoplasmas.” – Candace Brown A Treatment Protocols That Works Nicolson asserts that with the proper analysis and an effective treatment protocol targeting the infection, rather than the symptoms of AD, most, if not all of these disorders can be permanently cured. His complex treatments, which begin with proper diagnoses through blood testing, can be reviewed in detail, here. Biological warfare agents are without question patented tools of modern armies, pioneered in the ‘great’ wars of the 20th century, and according to the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) agency, even the feared ZIKA virus was patented by J. Casals of the Rockefeller Foundation in 1947. Although highly concealed, the combination of documents and mounting personal testimonies, along with the success of Nicolson’s treatment protocols leads to a reasonable suspicion that he is correct, and America is indeed infected with contagious, slow-acting agents responsible for the outbreak of chronic and autoimmune illnesses. Final Thoughts Given that mainstream science is generally unwilling to consider conspiratorial views of human health problems, there are few resources to be found which logically address the fact that immune systems don’t just become self-sabotaging without identifiable triggers or functional cures. For those suffering with chronic illness, life is often a daily struggle to avoid triggers and manage symptoms, and for this, full disclosure is needed to help properly identify the problem, and add to the body of researcher presented by Dr. Nicolson.

PUTIN THE PRESSURE ON Russia and China to hold joint naval drills in the South China Sea as tensions escalate

The drills come weeks after a UN-backed tribunal ruled this month that China did not have historic rights to the hotly contested waters

BY SIMON TOMLINSON 28th July 2016, 11:38 am

Russia is to hold joint naval exercises with China in the South China Sea in September as tensions escalate over the fiercely contested islands. China’s Defence Ministry insisted the “routine” drills were aimed at strengthening their co-operation and were not aimed at any other country. But they come at a time of heightened tensions in the region after a UN-backed tribunal ruled this month that China did not have historic rights to the waters. China rejected the ruling and refused to participate in the case. “This is a routine exercise between the two armed forces, aimed at strengthening the developing China-Russia strategic cooperative partnership,” China’s defense ministry spokesman Yang Yujun told a news conference. “The exercise is not directed against third parties.” China claims most of the South China Sea, through which more than $5 trillion of trade moves annually. Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam have rival claims. China has repeatedly blamed the United States for stoking tension in the region through its military patrols, and of taking sides in the dispute. The United States has sought to assert its right to freedom of navigation in the South China Sea with its patrols and denies taking sides in the territorial disputes. Russia has been a strong backer of China’s stance on the arbitration case, that was brought by the Philippines. Yang said China and Russia were comprehensive strategic partners and had already held many exercises this year. “These drills deepen mutual trust and expand cooperation, raise the ability to jointly deal with security threats, and benefit the maintenance of regional and global peace and stability,” he said.

Navy to Name Ship After Gay Rights Icon Harvey Milk: Report

By Riya Bhattacharjee

The United States Navy will be naming one of their ships after gay rights icon and San Francisco politician Harvey Milk, according to a report by the U.S. Naval Institute, which cites a Congressional notice obtained by USNI News. The July 14 notice, which was signed by Secretary of the Navy, Ray Mabus, indicates that he plans to name a planned Military Sealift Command fleet oiler, USNS Harvey Milk, according to USNI. Light Streaking Across Sky Was Chinese Rocket's Re-entry The ship is reportedly being built by General Dynamics NASSCO in San Diego, California. A Department of the Navy spokesman did not have a comment on the report. Milk, who moved from New York to settle in San Francisco in the seventies, was elected to the SF Board of Supervisors, becoming the first openly gay person to be elected to public office in California. In 1972, he and his partner Scott Smith – portrayed by James Franco in the film “Milk” – opened Castro Camera on 575 Castro Street, which he operated until his assassination in 1978. His involvement in San Francisco’s gay rights movement earned him the name “Mayor of Castro Street.” He joined the U.S. Navy during the Korean War and served on the submarine rescue ship USS Kittiwake (ASR-13) as a diving officer in San Diego. Milk came from a Navy family. He was honorably discharged from service as a lieutenant junior grade, according to USNI. Oakland Police Arrest Suspect Who Allegedly Shot at Sergeant On Nov. 27, 1978, Milk was shot inside San Francisco City Hall. He was wearing his U.S. Navy diver’s belt buckle at the time, according to the report. Ever since the 2011 repeal of the Department of Defense’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, California lawmakers have pushed to name a ship after Milk. Hillary's Moment: 'We Are Not Afraid' “This action by the U.S. Secretary of the Navy will further send a green light to all the brave men and women who serve our nation that honesty, acceptance and authenticity are held up among the highest ideals of our military,” Milk’s nephew Stuart Milk told the San Diego LGBT Weekly in 2012. On Thursday, San Francisco Supervisor Scott Wiener, who signed a resolution urging the Navy to name a ship after Milk, applauded the Navy's apparent decision. Facebook Agrees to Refunds on In-App Purchases by Minors “This is an incredible day for the LGBT community and for our country. As a gay man and a San Franciscan, I'm incredibly proud that the Navy is honoring Harvey Milk — and the entire LGBT community — by naming a ship after him," Weiner said. "This momentous decision sends a powerful message around the world about who we are as a country and the values we hold," he said. "When Harvey Milk served in the military, he couldn't tell anyone who he truly was. Now our country is telling the men and women who serve, and the entire world, that we honor and support people for who they are. Harvey Milk's strength continues to reverberate throughout our city, our country, and the world.”

Obama to expand refugee programs for Central American migrants amid new surge

Posted on July 28, 2016 by DCG

From Fox News: The Obama administration will soon expand efforts to help Central American families and children legally immigrate to the United States amid another surge of migrants caught crossing the border illegally. White House Deputy Homeland Security Adviser Amy Pope said Tuesday that the administration will expand in-country refugee processing for families coming from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala and launch an effort to temporarily relocate some families facing the greatest threats to Costa Rica. The government is also broadening a nearly two-year-old program to allow some Central American children to reunite with parents already legally living in the United States. Deputy Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said that program will now allow some unmarried siblings, in-country parents and other caregivers to move to the U.S. with a child approved for the program. The efforts are designed in part to combat the crush of tens of thousands of families and unaccompanied children caught crossing the border illegally this year. But it is unclear how quickly the expanded efforts may impact the flow of immigrants trying to make their way to the United States illegally. Since the start of the budget year in October, more than 51,100 people traveling as families and more than 43,000 unaccompanied children have been caught illegally crossing the Mexican border. The number of such immigrants has been steadily rising this year after significant decreases between the 2014 and 2015 budget years. The Obama administration first launched the effort to allow child immigrants to legally come to the U.S. in December 2014. More than 600 have moved to the United States since then. Mayorkas said 2,884 kids have been approved for the program and more than 9,500 applications are pending. In January, the administration first announced that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees would pre-screen would-be refugee families. U.S. officials will now handle more in-country processing for those families. Pope said refugee programs in Central America are being expanded because “current efforts to date haven’t been sufficient.” The new programs, she said, are designed to help “promote safe and orderly immigration and border security.” Pope said it is unclear how many families and children may benefit from the enhanced programs but officials expect requests for help to steadily increase as the programs get underway in the coming months. In the meantime, Costa Rica will also soon start accepting up to 200 people in immediate need of refuge at a time for up to six months.

Civil War Approaching: In Preparation For The Upcoming Police-state, More Steps Towards Martial Law, And More Draconian Plans And Laws In Place For Staged, Planned, And Funded Civil Unrest Nationwide.

Submitted by IWB, on July 28th, 2016

RED ALERT!! While Mainstream Media continues to distract your head with more unnecessary propaganda, and while your Government continues to discombobulate your head with fluoridated water and GMOs in your food, your military have concocted a plan with your local law enforcement to bring about militarization like never before! Just last week, Jim Pasco, executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, and Bill Johnson, executive director of the National Association of Police Organizations, have teamed up together and requested for the White House to review their ban on military gear for police. The ban, enacted via Mr. Obama’s Executive Order back in May 2015, initially banned police forces from attaining riot gear, armored vehicles, and other military-grade equipment from the U.S. Armed Forces — and also banned the federal government from no longer transferring such equipment from the Military to local law enforcement and police officers. However, upon the White House’s decision to review the ban, this could mean some serious militarization of the police force in the U.S. In fact, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) released a report documenting such militarization of police — along with Amnesty USA, and many other organizations. All coming to the conclusion that militarization of police only triggers more problems, especially in urbanized cities and communities. Not to mention the 1033 Program and the National Defense Resource Preparedness Executive Order — In preparation for the upcoming police-state, more steps towards martial law, and more draconian plans and laws in place for staged, planned, and funded civil unrest nationwide. COMING TO A POLICE-STATE NEAR YOU!!!!

DNC 2016: Lights over Oregon delegation cut after chants of 'No More War'

By Talia Richman | The Oregonian/OregonLive Email the author | Follow on Twitter

on July 28, 2016 at 1:08 PM, updated July 29, 2016 at 9:06 AM

Since arriving at the Democratic National Convention, Gregory McKelvey said, he's felt like the party has been trying to silence him. The Oregon State graduate supports Bernie Sanders, not the party's presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton. So do many of Oregon's delegates. McKelvey said tension over that difference of opinion hit new heights Wednesday when the arena cut the lights over the Oregon delegation as they chanted, "No More War," during former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's speech. "It's a theme of the convention," McKelvey said, "that Bernie Sanders' supporters are supposed to be quiet and sit down and take it." That sentiment was echoed by other Sanders delegates, who said having the lights go out above them was just par for the course. During the roll call vote Tuesday, U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley cast 34 votes for Clinton and 38 votes for Sanders. Merkley was the only U.S. senator to endorse Sanders in the primary. Leigha LaFleur said many in the Oregon delegation have "a very, very strong anti-war sentiment and felt Panetta was rhetorically building up to a pro-war statement." The first time he was interrupted by the chanting, Panetta was panning Republican nominee Donald Trump. "To have a literal blackout occur over the people supporting the anti-war message, which is what Bernie Sanders supports, this is just more of the same," LaFleur said. "This is to be expected." After the lights were cut, the California delegation shined their cell phone lights toward the Oregon group and started chanting, "Lights," McKelvey recalled. Oregon delegates responded by turning on their cell phone lights and waving them as well. "It's not an awesome look for the DNC," he said. "I understand aesthetically why they would want to turn the lights off so we couldn't be seen doing what we were doing." Officials at the Democratic National Convention did not immediately respond to requests for comment. LaFleur said she's been in Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center "from gavel to gavel, everyday" and nothing like this has happened before. It's not the first time Oregon delegates have protested during the convention. When Clinton was named the official nominee, many of the state's pledged Sanders delegates walked out of the convention. Oregon Public Broadcasting reported Thursday that Sanders met personally with the Oregon delegates at a hotel near the convention site to urge their support for Clinton. "I was really excited to go to the convention and now whenever I go into the building its extremely awkward," McKelvey said. "We were told before everything would be about unifying the party and then we come and it's like, they don't want us to be a part of it. There's definitely going to be chants and protests every day." – Talia Richman trichman@oregonian.com

Trump’s Life Is In Grave Danger-High Profile Assassination Warnings Continue

Katy Whelan, the Health Reporter for The Common Sense Show, sent me an email last night in which she noted the similarities between the Romney’s threatening speech directed at Trump, five months ago, and the release of John Hinckley this week, could not be just another coincidence. She could not have been more correct. Only an ardent coincidence theorist could not make these dire connections and subsequently come to the conclusion that Donald Trump is in grave danger. The evidence is mounting that the criminal elite, who have hijacked our government, want Donald Trump dead. Let me shout this proclamation from the highest mountain the following statement: FIVE MONTHS AGO, FORMER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, MITT ROMNEY, ISSUED A THINLY VEILED ASSASSINATION THREAT AGAINST DONALD TRUMP Walk with me through the journey of discovery which will clearly demonstrate why Romney delivered his message to Trump in the manner that he did An Innocent Revelation Five months ago, I noted the odd “coincidence” between the attempted 1981 assassination of President Reagan, by John Hinckley Jr., and the backdrop of Mitt Romney delivering his blistering condemnation of Donald Trump this past week. Incredibly, while Romney was condemning Trump, he did so in the front of a moniker entitled “The Hinckley Institute“. The “smoking gun” background which served to deliver a very thinly veiled threat to Donald Trump. Subsequently, I researched these connections between Ronald Reagan assassin, John Hinckley Jr., and the Hinckley Institute founded by Robert H. Hinckley. Robert H. Hinckley was involved heavily in aviation and politics. The Hinckley Institute of Politics was founded by Hinckley and still bears his name. And is there a connection? There are connections that will shake your sensibilities. John Hinckley Jr. Following Hinckley’s shooting of Reagan, he was portrayed as a mentally ill wayward rich boy who attempted to kill Reagan to impress actress Jodi Foster. I never believed the cover story and I would suggest visiting this link in order to validate my concerns with this theory. Both Robert H Hinkley and John Hinckley, Jr., are both descendants of Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon Church. The extent of the comparison is to note that they share the same extended family lineage. There is no issue of concern, from my perspective, regarding the Hinckley Institute other than Mitt Romney’s apparent misuse of the background moniker for which I will explain in later paragrpahs. However, there are many lineage coincidences between the various Hinckley’s that come into play with regard as to why Romney chose the Institute to deliver his threat. When it comes to Reagan assassin, John Hinckley Jr., there is much more than meets the eye, though his close and distant relatives list, in which Hinckley is related to the following notables:

Barack Obama JP Morgan Johnny Carson

FDR Princess Diana Marilyn Monroe

Warren Harding Allen Dulles Prince George

George H. W. Bush Anderson Cooper Adlai Stevenson III

George W. Bush Winston Churchill Benjamin Spock

George Washington Charles Darwin Wright Brothers

Ulysses S. Grant Jeb Bush General MacArthur

Calvin Coolidge John Kerry Prince William

Benedict Arnold

I would suggesting visiting the following link and you will, as I have, come to believe that John Hinckley, Jr. was nothing more than a Manchurian Candidate whose mission it was to assassinate Ronald Reagan. “Bush Son Had Dinner Plans With Hinckley Brother Before Shooting” -Associated Press (March 31, 1981). As one can see in the abovementioned chart, the Bush family and the Hinckley family are releated to each other? A Hollywood producer could not make this stuff up. If One Assassination Threat Is Not Enough, Here Is Another This week, John Hinckley was released to the custody of his mother. Isn’t it interesting that Hinckley was released at a time associated with anti-Trump sentiment? Regaan was a reformer and Trump is a would-be reformer. After this many decades, why was Hinckley released now? The release of Hinckley is a gross miscarriage of justice for this willing Manchurian Candidate who should have never seen the light of day. In the following video, I describe why the Hinckley release endangers Donald Trump. Interestingly, Pappy Bush (George HW Bush) were close friends and relatives of the Hinckley family. DOES ANYONE THINK THAT THAT ROMNEY’S THREATS TO TRUMP IN FRONT OF THE HINCKLEY CORPORATE BACKGROUND AS WELL AS THE RELEASE OF HINCKLEY DURING THE HIEGHT OF THE CAMPAIGN SEASON, AFTER MORE THAN THREE DECADES, IS A COINCIDENCE? IF YOU DO, I HAVE SWAMP LAND IN FLORIDA I WOULD LIKE TO SELL YOU. BUT AS THEY SAY I THE INFOMERCIALS, WAIT, THERE’S MORE! MORE THREATS AGAINST TRUMP U.S. Attorney General refuses to investigate a death threat against a Presidential candidate. “No comment”….. says Attorney General Loretta Lynch(mob). Lynch will threaten the american public for speaking about Muslim extremism, however, she won’t do her job and protect a presidential candidate. Substitute the word “Clinton” for Trump, do you think the FBI would be investigating? Then would Lynch do her job? We Can’t Forget the Context of the Threats Against Trump The nation has been left with the disturbing image of a murdered Supreme Court Justice. Yes, he was nearly 80. Yes, he was 80 pounds overweight. But he died with his required Federal Marshall protection, he was immediately embalmed before a required autopsy of a senior government official could take place and he was found with a pillow case over his face. In light of the threats at work against Trump, we must consider the context from which these threats are occurring. The fight for the Republican party, and ultimately the country is on. One major murder has already occurred. A threat has been issued by a prominent Republican figure against Donald Trump. The Undeniable Conclusion Can there be any doubt that Romney was threatening Trump this past week? Subsequently, Trump canceled his personal favorite appearance, the CPAC. His cancellation really hurt him with Republicans and there is no doubt that had a carry over effect on Trump’s mediocre Primary performance on Saturday. Why would Trump cancel when he could have easily made a cameo appearance in between campaign stops? 1968 Democratic front runner, Robert Kennedy. When a former Republican nominee deliberately uses as a background a moniker bearing the family name, complete with the unique spelling of the very last name of a Presidential assassin, and issues a scathing rebuke of a Presidential candidate, and it occurs within the context of today’s events, and then this is followed by the accompanying release of a would-be presidential assassin (Hinckley). can there be any doubt what the globalists’ intended message was? If you still have any doubt, see what the father of then-Presidential candidate, Jeb Bush, did when he was asked about Donald Trump. The Godfather of the Bush crime family responded with a throat slash. Pray daily for Donald Trump’s safety.

IT’S ALL COMING APART AT THE SEAMS — Jason Burack

Thanks to Wikileaks, we now have smoking gun proof that the corrupt Democratic National Committee and the corrupt mockingbird mainstream media have been colluding to prop up Rothschild’s pick for U.S. President, ultra-corrupt Hillary “I really do belong in prison” Clinton. Never before have the crimes of the establishment been so clear for all to see, even some Liberal Democrats are finally waking up! If you care to really understand how deep the Clinton crime family corruption runs, be sure to watch CLINTON CASH – and then share it with others. And against the backdrop of our crumbling banana Republic, the global economic Ponzi continues to deteriorate at an alarming pace. Jason Burack from WallStForMainSt.com is back to help us dissect all of the latest.

'It's A Horror Show' - Trump Slams 'Hillary's House Of Horrors' In Scathing Press Conference - Why Hasn't Hillary Given A Press Conference In Over 235 Days?

July 27, 2016

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

Very infrequently have I written back to back stories on the same topic but with the DNC 'wasting space' in Philadelphia, today will be an exception. While this morning's story shared with you the absolutely disastrous start of the Democratic Convention with Bernie Sanders voters vowing 'the final nail in the coffin' had been driven into their chance of voting for Hillary Clinton following the Wikileaks DNC disclosures, this story will focus upon Donald Trump's response to the unfolding DNC 'horror show' as heard in the 1st video below and what 'Hillary's house of horrors' will likely mean for America should she somehow 'eek' her way into office. If Philadelphia has shown us one thing and one thing alone, it's shown us that a large majority of Americans, Democrats and Republicans, believe that Hillary should be in prison rather than running for the highest office in the land. It's not just a coincidence that 'Hillary For Prison' and 'Lock Her Up' has gone viral at both the RNC and the DNC. Bernie Sanders voters are as mad as Trump voters had been and as you can hear in the 2nd video below, they totally hate Hillary. However, this story isn't about Hillary. It's about the antidote to 'Hillary' in the White House. The fact that the IRS just opened an investigation into the Clinton Foundation would be a good thing in a fair and just world but the Clinton email scandal shows us once again that isn't quite the case in 2016 America. As Trump tells us here at the opening, which comes at the 33:35 mark, there is a very good reason that Hillary Clinton hasn't given a press conference in 235 days. As Trump hesitates in telling us why, my mind immediately thought "because she's a mess" before Trump confirmed my thoughts with those very words.: "So it's been 235 days since Crooked Hillary Clinton has had a press conference, and you as reporters, who give her all of these glowing reports, should ask yourself why....and I'll tell you why...because, despite the nice platitudes, she's been a mess." Trump continues.: "You look at what's happened with ISIS, which isn't even mentioned. You look at what's happened with law and order. They don't even mention our police, they mention everybody but our police, they don't even have an American flag...." Trump continues to tell us that if he had used the kind of language that DNC staffers loyal to Hillary did in his emails, he would be ripped to shreds by the media and possibly forced to drop out of the race while Hillary gets a free pass from the 'boot-licking' mainstream media reporters who handle 'queen-Hillary' with kid gloves. Trump rips apart the rigged system that has left Bernie Sanders voters completely angry and disillusioned with many having 'awoken' to the fact that Trump is a much better choice for America and their quickly-dying-dreams than 'crooked Hillary'. If anybody out there still thinks that Hillary will bring 'change' to America, Trump reminds them that Hillary has been there for 30 years. "There's no change, it's going to be an extension of Obama and in my opinion worse." There you have it trolls (and those who know better!) who love hopping on these pro-Trump stories, if you REALLY want another 4 years of Obama, just keep working to convince people that Trump is just another 'globalist'. You people should really know better - do your research - the Republican party of Bush didn't just willingly hand over power to Trump. Trump then bashes Hillary's 'flip flopping' on the TPP - first she was for it until she saw Trump come out against it: "It's a horror show...it's going to kill all our jobs...it's going to be almost as bad as NAFTA, maybe worse, which her husband signed by the way which destroyed this country, which destroyed manufacturing in the United States." After telling us that our 'leaders' in Washington DC don't even read the trade agreements that they sign with other nations for you and I, Trump tells us why: "It's because we're led by stupid people." Why does Hillary keep changing her positions when she sees Trump getting strong feedback on the same positions? Susan and I cannot wait to see Trump and Hillary debate - there's no doubt in our mind that he'll destroy her. As events of recent days prove to us, Hillary can't even be asked two questions at the same time without turning into a 'bobblehead'. Hillary's entire life since coming into public office has been one huge ongoing scandal. Trump in the meantime sounds extremely 'presidential' in this news conference, largely sticking to subject and showing us once again why there's absolutely no doubt in our minds who'll make a better leader for America. While Trump is now getting slammed by mainstream media 'boot-lickers' for saying that he hopes Russia has all 33,000 of Clinton's emails, he tells us here the very hard truth that Americans need to hear: "Putin and other countries in the world have no respect for our country anymore...and they certainly have no respect for our leader." Hillary Clinton in office would be an absolute disaster for America as nobody I know, or have ever met in my life that I'm aware of, has any respect at all for Hillary Clinton. Do we really think that other country's would when the American people overwhelmingly hate her? If we think that what we have now under Obama is bad, we haven't seen anything yet. While it's quite true that what is broken in America will take much more than a 'political' fix, there's no way that we'll even be able to begin walking down the road that's necessary by electing 'the past'. Hillary's got 30 years of history to back up her failures. As any recovering addict will tell you, repeating the same behavior over and over again and expecting a different result is one definition of insanity. Judging by her past, only Donald Trump now stands in between America and 'Hillary's house of horrors' for the next 4 years. We pray that America chooses wisely.

Democrats manipulate polling numbers to make it easier to steal elections without the public realizing the voting machines were rigged. (July 23, 2016)—If the Democrats are able to make the voting public believe that the Republican candidate for President trailed the Democrat from the Conventions to Election Day, the public will easily be suckered into believing that the Democrat—in this case, the most despised and mistrusted liar in America, Hillary Clinton—somehow pulled 35 to 40 million more votes than her opponent, Donald Trump in the Nov. 8, 2015 general election. That, after all, is how the American people were conned into thinking that first term US Senator and civil rights huckster Barack Obama [D-IL] won in 2008 when 96,822,000 lawfully registered voters theoretically cast the 132,618,580 ballots which were stored in the voting machines across the nation, and counted as valid votes even though there were 35,626,580 more votes than voters. (This data was taken from the FEC election return which the Obama Administration arrogantly posted, as a a rebuttal to Orly Taitz's Quo Warranto lawsuit against him, on the White House website where I found it on Nov. 28, 2009). The form was removed sometime between Nov. 30 and Dec. 9—as was the official filing from the FEC website. The one page form, which is required by federal law, was replaced with a multi-page document which merely showed the numbers of votes counted in each State for Congressmen, Senators and Obama and Sen. John McCain [R-AZ].)

In 2008 the leftwing media hype declared that Barack Obama was more popular than Muhammad Ali and Harriet Tubman combined. He wasn't. The leftwing media also claimed that Obama generated the largest young vote in history. They lied. What the vote thieves love about electronic voting machines is that they leave no trace of where the votes were stolen from. They only record totals, not trails. But when you have 35 million more votes than voters the one thing you do know is that the overages are votes by theft. But later, as Obama planned for the Election of 2012, journalists noted that Obama hoped to attract the minority votes who failed to materialize in 2008.

Without going into detail, the same thing happened in 2012. Federal law requires the conspicuous posting of the following: the number of registered voters in the country; the number of registered voters who voted; the percentage of registered voters who voted, and, finally, the number of votes cast.

In 2012 Obama used his own made-up FEC election returns form so you could not look at it and see the vote fraud. The data which was required by law to be conspicuously posted, now appeared to be spread out, and reported separately in different media, concealing—as best they could—the fraud. In 2012, 90,682,968 registered voters somehow delivered 126,985,809 ballots. Of them, 36,302,841 were fraudulent votes. Obama won by 6 million votes. The Democrats datamined 6 million GOP votes in 2012. What that means is that, in 2012, even by dismissing the 36.3 million stolen votes, had the Democrats not illegally voted 6 million American voters, stealing their right to vote by casting that person's ballot before election day. Obama would still have lost the election by well over 6 million votes (i.e., taking 6 million off Obama's total and adding that amount to Romney's.

By the way, thanks to Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, the political shyster who masterminded the art of datamining both Democrat and Republican voters when he was Chairman of he Democrat National Committee during the Clinton years, used datamining in 2012 to early vote Republicans, casting those ballots for Obama. While I don't think datamining the Republican voting history is illegal, I know that posing as someone else and early voting their name is a felony. Now, thanks to a Washington State grandmother and Democrat voting advocate, we now know for a fact that the voting machines triggered massive electronic vote fraud in 2008 and 2012.

On July 21 California-based attorney Dr. Orley Taitz cited that there has been a noticeable shift in polling positions since April when twice as many people polled said they would most likely vote for Clinton over Trump. On July 13 the Rasmussen Poll showed Trump leading Clinton 44% to 37%. The LA Times-USC poll (the third most liberal newspaper in the country, puts the July 13 poll as Trump-43%, Hillary 42%. Imagine that. Even in La-La land, Hillary loses. Lawyer Taitz noted in her "Defend Our Freedom Foundation" website that Fox News contributor, left-leaning RealClearPolitics.com collaborator, and one of the founders of left-leaning Wikipedia, Larry Sabato (who Fox News considers to be the guru of polling averages) was caught removing polls from the RealClearPolitics.com website which showed Trump leading Clinton. Taitz said Sabato was observed removing the July 19 LA poll from the site.

Taitz said she personally wrote to RealClearPolitics.com and demanded that they add the LA Times poll (which shows Trump leading) back on the site. If Orly is correct (and she does her due diligence very well) and RealClear is deleting or failing to acknowledge every poll that favors Trump, then it's easy to see why every major media company in the United States is fostering the falsehood about how good Hillary is doing and, conversely, how bad Trump is doing.) According to Taitz, the website put the LA Times poll up—for all of 24 hours. The following day, she understood, someone "...leaned on them..." and the poll was taken down.

Today, according to the Quinnipaiac University Poll (7/13) Trump held a 3% lead in Florida (42 to 39%); a 2% lead in Pennsylvania (43% to 41%) and tied with Clinton in Ohio with 41% each. Peter Brown of the Quinnipaiac University Poll noted that Trump went into the Republican Convention with a slight lead in three of the most important swing States in the race. But, you aren't hearing that on Lie TV (not Li"v"e TV—leftwing TV) where tongue-in-cheek spinmeisters believe you are buying their garbage rhetoric when they tell you how bad Trump is doing and how well the "Queen Liar" is doing.

The top 25 liberal newspapers together with the ground-based TV networks and satellite systems owned by the major TV brands: ABC-TV, CBS-TV, CNBC, CNN-TV, MSNBC-TV, NBC-TV, are owned or controlled by America's princes of industry and barons of banking and business. Like the New York Times which carries the brand as a trademark—"We print the news that's fit to print," which, translated, means "we print or broadcast the news we want you to hear and we bury the rest."

The liberal media will never give a non-liberal candidate unbiased coverage. Trump's much maligned (by the Washington Post) acceptance speech surprised the left. They felt—and hoped—that presidential nominee Trump would pepper his acceptance speech with the anti-establishment and anti-competitor rhetoric used by challenger Donald Trump. When he didn't, Trump frightened the Washington Post's editorial team that's already having a hard enough time ignoring Clinton's sins and crimes, knowing that when Trump returns to campaign mode the Trump rhetoric will once again slice and dice his opponent, forcing the media to examine the sins and crimes of Hillary Clinton—or discover that not even Jeff Bezos' vast Amazon.com fortune can keep them alive without readers.

Interestingly, when the Justice Department announced it was not going to prosecute Hillary Clinton for violating 12 federal laws dealing with mishandling federal documents (18 USC § 371, 18 USC § 641, 18 USC § 793. 18 USC § 798, 18 USC § 1031, 18 USC § 1343, , 18 USC § 1346, 18 USC § 1505, 18 USC § 1519, 18 USC § 1924 and 18 USC § 2071 which prohibits anyone convicted of this crime from ever holding any job in the federal government—including the job as President of the United States) Hillary's standing in the polls in Florida dropped when that news report hit the small screen. This suggests some Florida Democrats who likely want to believe she's innocent, also felt she should face a federal court judge and show why she's not guilty of the allegations from the GOP leadership in Congress. It will likely drop even more based on how the leftwing print media handles the early CNN and Fox News story on Wikileak's release of some 20 thousand emails between the Clinton campaign hierarchy and the Democratic National Committee and from the DNC to Clinton campaign managers on strategies to undercut Bernie Sanders and torpedo his campaign.

As the Republican and Democratic Campaign of 2016 ramps up, the media will highlight the sins of Donald Trump as it conceals the crimes of Hillary Clinton. In doing so, they will also erase any poll which shows The Donald is leading so when they use labor union controlled electronic voting machines in about 82% of the polling places in the country, and steal 40 million or more votes through rigged voted machines, they can tell the American people the vote turned out the way the polls said it would. Nothing happened that the polls didn't predict, particularly the liberal media fraud. More US businesses are afraid of Obama's cracking down on the right of Americans in "right-to-carry" States to actually carry weapons. Citizens need to exercise their right-to-carry with their feet. (May 25, 2016)—Georgia is just one of growing number of States which have "safe carry laws" which allows certified licensed gun citizens the right to carry a firearm on their person. The law also allows business owners in the State who don't want people carrying guns in their businesses to ban them. The business owner needs only to post their establishments as "gun-free." Gun owners, under the law, may not legally "carry" into those businesses. But, the business owner, who expects the consumer to obey the law must also comport with the law themselves.

That wasn't the case on May 6, 2016 when Dalton resident Shane Franks went to the Dalton Cracker Barrel™ to purchase a couple of Mother's Day cards. Franks said when two managers spotted the holstered revolver he was carrying, he was asked to leave the restaurant. He replied that the restaurant was not posted as a no-carry business. The Georgia Safe Carry Protection Act does not require the business owners in the State to post their businesses as "gun free:" however, they are encouraged to do so since, when a patron who enters a non-posted business carrying a gun is accosted by management, it tends to be embarrassing for the patron who is escorted out the door. According to Franks, Cracker Barrel™ is the only anti-gun business in Dalton, which is not posted, who has asked him to leave.

In Shane Frank's case, he asked how a person is supposed to know if the business is not posted. While this writer would have left and bought the cards somewhere else, Franks went home, left his gun, and returned to buy the cards. When he returned, there was a paper sign posted in the window on the entrance door stating that, unless the patron was in law enforcement, he or she is not supposed to have a firearm.

The more restrictive a State's law (or a city or county's regulations) are with respect to gun ownership or the right to carry, the higher the crime rate will always be. Do you remember the sixteen minutes of terror during the shooting incident in Killeen, Texas from 12:35 to 12:51 pm on Oct. 15, 1991 when George Hennard, Jr. drove his pickup truck through the plate glass window at Luby's Cafeteria and opened fire with a Glock 17 and a Ruger P-89 pistol? After killing 23 people and wounding 20 others, Hennard shot himself in the head. Among the survivors of the massacre was Dr. Suzanna Gratia Hupp, who lost both of her parents in the slaughter. After Hennard shot several people, Hupp reached for her purse, where she usually carried a handgun, given to her a year or two before by a friend. The gun was not there. Another friend had advised her months earlier that, in Texas, carrying a handgun in a purse, was a felony. She put the gun in the glove box of her car, where it was at that terrible moment. Had she had the gun in her purse, and used it, most of thoese who were wounded or died that day would still be alive. As it was, the only protection they had was her father pulling the table they were eating at over on them, to protect them from Hennard.. With no interference from any patron, and running low on ammo after killing 23 people and wounding 20 others, Hennard shot himself in the head. Among the survivors of the massacre was Hupp. But, both of her parents died in the slaughter.

The link above will take you to a video of Dr. Hupp testifying about "gun control" as the left thought this was a perfect opportunity to ban guns and make every ciry in the nation as safe as Detroit, Chicago, New York, Washington, DC, St. Louis, Baltimore, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Birmingham, Atlanta and several other "ghetto crime cities" where illegal weapons kill and legal guns actually protect citizens against criminals and politicians.

If the owners of Cracker Barrel™ really thought about it, and remembered what happened in Luby's Cafeteria on Oct. 15, 1991, they would welcome law-abiding Americans with carry permits, since those citizens have been vetted by law enforcement. I suspect Cracker Barrel™ in Dalton, Georgia did not post that it was a gun-free zone because knowing everyone in a business establishment is unarmed can be construed by those with maleovent intent as a license for criminal mischief.

It should also be an invitation for those who respect and honor the Bill of Rights to spend their money with businesses that respect the Constitution. I think if I was Cracker Barrel™ and my Dalton restaurant was an hour and a half from one of the ten deadliest cities in the nation—Atlanta—I wouldn't post my restaurant as a "gun free zone," either. Of course, since Forbes Magazine and WRCB-TV the NBC affiliate in Chatanooga, TN reported it, the cat's out of the bag.

In closing, let me suggest this to conservatives who feel targeted by leftwing business bias. If the left decides it's their elitist right to make you comport to their political philosphies, the best thing you can do is say "no" with your feet. Spend your money somewhere else. If your problem is leftwing media bias, stop funding their existence. I no longer watch NBC, ABC, nor CNN or the social media garbage of the perverted left. Support conservative businesses. Do you think the social media left eats at Chick Fil-A? You are always known by the company you keep.

In 2016 Democrats-only tax increases (created in 2009) silently went into effect 1/1/16. They will impact you. But they're unconstitutional because the law that created them did not originate in the House of Representatives. (Feb. 28, 2016)—I received an email yesterday morning which began: "Here is what happened, quietly, on January 1, 2016."

• Medicare taxes went up from 1.45% to 2.35%

• Top income tax bracket went from 35% to 39.5%

• Top income payroll tax went from 37.4% to 52.2%

• Capital Gains tax went from 15% to 39.6%

• Dividend tax went from 0% to 55%

• Estate taxes went from 0% to 55%

• A 3.5% Real Estate transaction tax was added. (This is equal to 50% of the normal real estate commission on a normal residential dwelling.

The article reminded the readers that not a single Republican voted for those new taxes, which is true because the new taxes were buried in the Affordable Care Act and not only did no Republican vote for it, no Republican got to read the bill which contained them. More important is the fact that no Republicans in the House participated in the healthcare debate (except to an empty chamber in order to get their views "on the record ") nor voted to enact it. There were about 5 or 6 versions of S3952, and one of the labeled as HR3952 because the only version originated in the House, HR 3200, was rejected by the Senate which had more grandiose plans.

The taxes were added in Joint Conference session with a handful of far left Democrats from the House and Senate (Republicans were excluded) led by Obama Chief-of-Staff Rahm Emanuel, a member of the Executive Branch who, under the Separation Clause, had no constitutional authority to interfere with the legislative process. When the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was challenged by several States and ended up on the docket of the US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts sent affidavits to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi [D-CA], Sen. Harry Reid [D-NV]. and then House Speaker John Boehner [R-OH] asking them to affirm that HR3590 which, with S3952 (which confusingly appears everywhere as HR3952, originated in the House of Representatives. All three signed the affidavits to the affirmative. All three spoke the truth, but all three committed perjury when they spoke that truth. No one realized that more than Nancy Pelosi who, you will recall, with perjury charges in the back of her mind, when the completed legislative came to the House from the Senate, Pelosi told the House members, "We need to hurry up and sign this bill so we can find out what's in it."

HR3590 did originate in the House. It was proffered by Rep. Charlie Rangel [D-NY] as the Service Members Home Mortgage Tax Act. The bill would provide money for veterans fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan to purchase homes with tax credits when they returned home. The bill was passed in the House by a vote of 416-0 on Sept. 17, 2009. Very deliberately on the part of the Democratic leadership, the bill was "dead on arrival" when it reached the Senate—or rather, Harry Reid's desk drawer. So, the bill did originate in the House—just not as a healthcare bill. In other words, the only healthcare build to originate in the House was HR3200. It did pass the House, but Obama didn't like it, so it died in the Senate. Congresswoman Pelosi, Sen. Reid and then-Speaker Boehner perjured themselves before the Supreme Court when they were asked to swear that the Affordable Care Act which was signed into law, and was at that moment on the high court's docket, originated in the House of Representatives. It was a lie. And, because it was intended to deceive the high court, it was a very deliberate lie to do damage to the people of the United States because "Part Two" of Obamacare was signed into law before Obamacare itself got off the drawing bard. Why? Because Part Two created the Independent Payment Advisory Board (i.e,, the Obama Death Board). It was adroitly concealed in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act under the innocuous, boring name of the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Research. (Pictured at the bottom of the linked article here is a photo of all of the doctors who established the perimeters under which you will either be treated or denied treated by being placed on a waiting list and simply allowed to die.) By the way, the head of the Federal Coordinating Council was Rahm Emanuel's brother, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel.

Before closing this piece and leaving you wondering why, since Obamacare is unconstitutional and John Boehner knew it, and theoretically was opposed to its passage, why would he sign an affidavit affirming its authenticity when he could have exposed the sham and had Obamacare die in the high court? He couldn't because every member of Congress—both House and Senate—uses dead legislation which had been previously enrolled, but never voted on in both Houses, to conceal taxpayer-funded quid pro quos for donations from major donors (which the folks back home would likely not approve). How do they do it? They use a bill as an amendment to the legislation up for discussion, adding their riders after the liegislation is read on the floor. That way, no one knows Congressman ABC added a million dollar project into the bill to repay the donor for his $100 thousand contribution—most of which goes to the legislator's PAC group and not his campaign..

According to Hill staffers, Reid, Boehner and a majority of politicians use enrolled, but inactive bills to conceal quid pro quos from their constituents back home. Clearly, Boehner, as House minority leader in 2009 knew that HR3590 was Charlie Rangel's Service Members Mortgage Tax Act and not the Affordable Care Act. Rangel, too, knew what HR3590 was, too. Because of their proximity to the legislation, both became complicit. At least 416 members of Congress—all of those who voted on HR3590 as the Service Members Mortgage Protection Tax Act should have been waving a very large red flag, and shouting from the Capitol dome with very loud bullhorn

CNN deliberately replaces Israel with Palestine in a story about the turmoil

in the Mideast. (Nov. 25, 2015)—So, apparently did MSNBC—on Oct. 15, 2015 in a news release on Kate Snow's MSNBC Live when the talk show displayed factually inaccurate maps in which Israel was not represented, and argued that the land area of today's Israel was the sovereign possession of the Palestinians prior to 1946 when Israel was a British protectorate under the Balfour Proclamation.

If there was any confusion, it was orchestrated by Sir Arthur James Balfour, who guaranteed Israel its ancient homeland for helping the British crush the Ottoman Empire, while Sir Henry McMahon, the High Commissioner of Egypt, made the same promise to Hussein, King of Hijaz, Sharif of Mecca in Transjordan. Hussein was the head of the Hashemite Dynasty. Hussein's understanding of the pact he made with McMahon was that, at the end of the war, Palestine would be surrendered to the Palestinians, giving them a homeland separate from the pure blood Arabs (who didn't want the Palestinians in their land). McMahon was outvoted. Lord Baron Walter Rothschild was assured by the Allied leaders that the Jews would get their homeland back. And since Woodrow Wilson wanted to get rid of America's communist Jews behind the growing labor unions, he sided with Rothschild, which means, so did Europe.

A CNN Money article, reprinted in the Jerusalem Post on Nov. 26, 2015, entitled "Beyond ISIS: 2016's scariest geopolitical hot spots" used an area map of the Mideast to show the hotspots in the civil war in Syria. What caused the controversy was CNN's editing the map they used to pinpoint the hotspots. Instead of designating Israel as "Israel," CNN changed the country's name to "Palestina" (the Spanish or Portuguese name for Palestine). Their doing so was an insult not only to the Israeli people, but the American people as well.

The managing editor of the media watchdog group, Honest Reporting, Simon Plosker denounced the CNN affront as completely unacceptable, saying, "At a time when Israel’s very legitimacy is being called into question by vicious anti-Israel extremists, any message that Israel does not belong in the Middle East plays into this false narrative and feeds those like the Iranian ayatollahs who wish to see Israel erased from the map. How many times can CNN keep making these shoddy errors before the network takes remedial action to address its Israel problem?"

The problem? The problem is the social progressive management of the leftwing international media which believes the world's problems would be solved if the political titans, the princes of industry and barons of banking and business got rid of two of the world's biggest problems—Israel and the United States. The media is taking care of Israel and Barack Obama is taking care of the rest.

Was it an Obama Executive Order that allowed the VA to deny disabled veterans the right to own firearms? Is the VA now willing to sell that right back if the PTSD victim gives up their disability benefits?

(June 5, 2015)—The man who campaigned for the job as Commander-in-Chief of the United States military in 2008 proposed, in 2009, that combat veterans wounded and/or disabled in military actions protecting the United States of America be personally billed by the VA for wounds, prosthetic limbs or other forms of mental or physical rehabilitation for America's injured warriors. Barack Obama decided that in an "all voluntary military," America's warriors—who clearly understood the dangers of the job—should be required to purchase their own health insurance to cover potential injuries from combat.

When then social progressive House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.[D-CA] and then Senate Majority leader Harry Reid [D-NV] tried to "constitutionalize" Barack Obama's best wet dream with an Executive Order that would force wounded veterans to pay for their own battlefield injuries based on the warped social progressive logic that since military personnel know the risks of war that, by voluntarily putting themselves in harm's way, they should be personally liable for their war injuries. When the Democrats proposed the only budget they presented under Obama because Obama had no interest in signing a budget (believing that not having one allowed him to piggyback off the budget for 2009 that was signed into law by President George W. Bush, and spend what he wanted). That provision—which obligated veterans to cover their own battlefield injuries never survived because with a tremendous outcry from the public, including Obama's own Party in military States, Obama was forced to retreat from his hardline leftwing ideology, trying to convince the public that they misunderstood what he said.

It was Obama's own allies in the House and Senate who knew that enacting such a policy would end almost every Democratic political career in both Houses. Sen. Patty Murray [D-WA] who rode Bill Clinton's coattails into office in 1992, was up for re-election in the fall of 2010. She knew that with her vote attached to such an unconstitutional, asinine piece of legislation, she would be standing in line at the unemployment office in Jan., 2011. There is no doubt in my mind that if Murray had already been reelected for a fourth term, she would have silently backed Obama's unconstitutional idea..

Instead, when she grilled VA Director Gen. Eric Shinseki in a Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs hearing, she told him the VA's proposal to force military personnel to buy their own medical coverage was unacceptable and would be formally rejected, so he could consider his budget dead-on-arrival in the Senate. Shinseki responded to Murray that the proposal was simply a budget-control idea under consideration by the Administration that would allow the VA to bill wounded soldiers personally for battlefield injuries. Currently veterans are charged only for non-service related injures or illnesses treated at a VA facility instead of a public or private hospital.

In 2012 Sen. Chuck Schumer who was a year into his third Senate term (and would not face reelection for almost five years), proposed an amendment to the 2012 defense bill that would allow the Dept. of Veterans' Affairs to arbitrarily determine that veterans who were behind in their bills (in the view of the VA), were all suffering from diminished capacity caused by PTSD (even if the veteran had never been examined by any VA doctor for anything or, in most cases, had never entered a VA facility) even if the only problem the vet and his family had was owing more money than they could pay because their disability pay from the military had not yet kicked in (a common occurrence in the Obama Administration, with disabled veterans waiting anywhere from one to three or more years to get their claims approved), or that income was not enough to meet financial obligations committed to by a pre-disabled American worker before his service-related injuries occurred.

By declaring those veterans to be suffering from diminished capacity from PTSD, the provision arbitrarily made those veterans ineligible to own firearms—not just those truly suffering from the physiological horrors of PTSD, but functional disabled veterans who haven't realized why the VA is engaged in deliberate heel-dragging to slow-down their bullet-earned disability pensions. Now we know why. VA created PTSD.

Under Schumer's proposed amendment, the VA would have the authority to require the FBI to ban vets with low credit ratings from owning or purchasing either weapons or ammunition under the guise that they are likely, at any moment, to go postal. The PTSD amendment would order the FBI and/or ATF to seize any duly registered weapons owned by those individuals. It would be incumbent on the veterans to prove that not having enough money to pay one's debts doesn't mean the veteran is suffering from PTSD.

Again, the question is: WHY? To date, the Obama Administration has terminated the right to own firearms of over 550,000 American servicemen due to diminished capacity (i.e., mental incompetence—or, in layman's language, their monthly obligations were greater than their still non-existent disability pension from the VA). Sandra Basu, writing for US Medicine, the Voice of Federal Medicine said on Feb. 17, 2015 the House Committee on Veterans Affairs reported that it takes an average of 1,255 days (3 1/2 years) for the Board to hear an appeal from a veteran in 2013.

On Feb. 17, Congressman Ralph Abraham [R-LA], Chairman of the House Veterans Committee noted that, in his Congressional District, it takes servicemen six, eight or up to ten years to resolve meritious appeals on service-related disabilities. In other words, separated from the military, married-with-families-disabled serviceman usually have money problems. Millions of Americans have money problems, but they don't suffer from diminished capacity. They just suffer from bad money management or for having eyes that are larger than their billfolds.

Laura Eskenazi, Vice Chairman and Executive in charge of the Board of Veterans Affairs concurred saying that the "...current design of the..." VA "...appeals process is incompatible with final appeals decisions."

Has this been an elablorate scheme on the part of the Obama Administration to lessen the enemy combatants he will have to fight when he decides to overthrow the 2nd Amendment, issue an illegal Executive Order and send his civilian storm troopers from the 4th branch of government to terrorize the American people and seize their legally-owned and constitutionally-possessed weapons? Only time will answer that question. But, Obama, who committed malfeasance by sanctioning Operation Fast & Furious, the gun-trafficking scheme initiated by the Obama Administration in 2010 in preparation for the UN's Conference on the Small Arms Treaty that would take place two years later at the UN General Assembly in New York. The schemers who plotted Operation Fast & Furious were first and foremost Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who ceremoniously signed the UN Small Arms Treaty after its initial 158-to-1 vote to proceed with the first step in 2012 with the creation of a treaty to control the illegal trafficking of small arms (which is why Operation Fast & Furious was an imperative for the Obama Administration. He needed proof that America's legal small gun dealers were engaged in gun trafficking with Mexican drug lords). According to the Law of Nations, since Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ceremoniously signed it, the Senate can simply ignore the treaty, binding the terms of the UN Global Gun Ban Treaty on the people of the United States until such time as the Senate accepts or rejects it. Also deeply and covertly involved in Operation Fast & Furious were US Attorney General Eric Holder and Department of Homeland Security Director Janet Napolitano.

On October 7, 2011, The Examiner reported that Clinton's 2009 claims to CBS and MSNBC that 90% of the guns used by the drug cartels come from the United States was patently false. Ninety percent of the traceable guns confiscated from drug runners were licensed in the United States. But, that 90% account for less than 5% of the guns captured by Mexican and American authorities. Since illegal weapons (mostly from China) are not legally registered weapons, attempts to trace the ownership history of those weapons fail.

Secretary Clinton's remarks, like all Obama Administration talking points were also parroted by Obama, Eric Holder and Janet Napolitano—90% of the guns captured from drug cartel members came from the United States shows, first, that Clinton was in the forefront of pushing false assertions; and, from their talking points participation, the other ringleaders of the scheme appear to be Obama, Holder and Napolitano. That makes Operation Fast & Furious a joint White House, Justice Department, State Department, ATF, FBI, ICE and NSA project—with the planning, execution—and blame for the death of US Border Agent Brian Terry shared equally by the heads of each agency and the leaders of State, Homeland Security and the Executive Branch. Yes, I can see why Barack Obama asserted Executive Privilege. Operation Fast & Furious could have been the catalyst to a historic multiple impeachment hearing in the US House of Representatives.

Obama's next act of malfeasance is found in the IRS scandal which brought the name of Lois G. Lerner to the forefront and ended not with the prosecution of Lerner, but her forced retirement. Obama escaped clean because no one could connect him to Lerner. The reason they couldn't is because nobody tried. The link between Obama and Lerner is Michael Miles, a partner in the law firm of Atlanta, Georgia law firm, Sutherland Asbil & Brennan.

Obama received $107,574 in campaign donations from Sutherland in 2007-2008. In both 2008 and 2012 in Georgia, Lerner's husband, Michael Miles, who sits on Sutherland's Executive Committee, headed up the company's "get-out-and-vote" effort for Obama, organizing meetings at its Atlanta office in both 2008 and 2012. Miles screened and hired Obama's voter registration workers. Lerner, the "apolitical" wife of Michael Miles, may not have worked on the Obama "get-out-and-vote," but she benefited handsomely from her husband's ties to Obama. While I don't think the Obamas and the Miles-Lerners play pinochle, canasta or "Go Fish" on the weekends, clearly there's enough of a connection between Obama and Michael Miles to suggests there's also an equal link between Obama and Lerner. Particularly when Obama trusted only Lerner to file the 501(c)3 papers on Abon'go Malik Obama's make-believe tax exempt charity, the Barack H. Obama Foundation (named, Obama's brother said, for their father) is a shady charity linked to the Islamic Da'wa Organization to spread Wahabbism across the African continent. Then we have the NSA scandal which, if thoroughly investigated, would lead to criminal abuse by the Obama Administration of datamined information about his personal political enemies—both Democratic and Republican—in the United States government.

Barack Obama is playing a high stakes Texas-Arizona Hold'em poker game where cheating is allowed. The hand he still needs to win before he can go "all-in" is the hand called Operation Fast & Furious. The death of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry and the scandal involving AG Eric Holder and a consortium of Obama-ites who were involved made that hand a draw (although the House and Senate should be ashamed for not following the FBI-approved gun sales back to Holder's office and impeaching not only Obama and Holder, but Clinton, Napolitano and the heads of the ATF, DEA, FBI and NSA. Each should then have been charged as accessories before and after the death of Brian Terry. His family deserves that.

Instead, the ATF prosecuted the family of Rick Reese, the owner of New Deal Shooting Sports in Deming, New Mexico. Reese and his wife, Terri may or may not have been recruited by the ATF to help them with a sting operation against gun traffickers along the Texas, Arizona and New Mexico border. (Rule one: when someone with a federal badge enters your shop and asks you to help them pull off a sting, you are likely the person who is about to be stung.) Terri Reese was working the store alone one afternoon when Penny Torres entered and bought several hand guns for, she said, a family gathering where they planned to do some target shooting.

Reese sold the guns and completed the ATF Form 3373s on them. The FBI approved them. Torres paid for them and left. But something just didn't feel right. Reese called a deputy sheriff she knew and reported what had just transpired. Torres was arrested with over 30 guns in her possession. Torres cut a deal with the New Mexico authorities and the feds to roll-over on the Reeses, claiming she bought unregistered guns off of her all the time which was not true. But, because of the heat on the Brian Terry killing with a gun from the government's sting program, the feds needed a pigeon to take the heat off the Justice Department's Operation Fast & Furious and then let it fade off into oblivion. Those pigeons would be Rick and Terri Reese and one of their sons, Ryin Reese who would pay the piper for the Obama Administration's failed plot of kill the 2nd Amendment.

On Feb. 25, 2013, Gordon Duff, the senior editor of VeteransToday.com commented on a current (2013) story that Congress had just passed a new law, or that Obama had signed an Executive Order that would allow the government to deny weapons rights to veterans for a broad category of service-related mental problems. Duff rightly called the misinformation "total bunk," noting that Congress enacted a law in 1997 authorizing gun seizures for anyone (not just military) who have been adjudicated mentally ill. Why rehash that now?

Because the Obama Administration and the Obama VA had found that law chose to enforce it in a way not intended by Congress when the law was actually enacted. (Covered in detail at the beginning of this article.) Duff noted that what the Obama Administration was doing in 2013 was victimizing veterans with vicious scares and rumor-mongering. It should be noted that while the Obama Administration was going after disabled veterans (many suffering from PTSD), it is not only veterans who suffer from post traumatic stress. So do police officers, firefighters and quite a few other occupations in which the wokrer's life is in danger in the workplace. To me, any Christian or Jew working in a Muslim country likely suffers from some form of PTSD. But most of them receive some form of hazard pay that greatly increases their take-home pay, so most of them don't have trouble making ends meet at the end of the month.

This battle has been raging on Capital Hill since 2012 and was part of the $631 billion defense bill that year. Sen. Tom Colburn [R-OK] tried, but failed to insert a provision to stop the VA from putting the names of veterans deemed to be too mentally incompetent to handle their personal home finances in the National Criminal Background Check System which will prohibit them from buying, or owning, firearms. Today, the VA appoints fiduciaries—usually family members—to manage the pensions and disability benefits of veterans who are declared incompetent. When that happens, the department automatically enters the veteran's name in the Criminal Background Check System which means not only can they no longer buy a gun, they cannot legally possess any fireamrs they currently own.

Michael Connelly, Executive Director of the United States Justice Foundation reported, on June 5, 2015 that some veterans who have proven they are not mentally-handicapped, and that their debt flow problem is due to the VA heel-dragging on settling meritious appeals on service-related disabilities have been offered a deal to get their names out of the Criminal Background Check System—drop their claims for service-related disability claims or surrender their right to benefits currently being received. It's the "buy-back of their constitutional right to own firearms.

Connelly reported that the USJF"...uncovered was a coordinated effort by multiple federal agencies to disarm the American people. The tactics...not only violate the Constitution...but include outright criminal acts such as extortion and blackmail. Veterans continue to be the primary target, but the groundwork has been laid to expand the disarmament efforts to the rest of the population." Remember this: you can't overthrow a nation that is heavily armed. Remember this, too. During World War II Japan could have easily invaded the United States. They choice not to because the American people were too heavily armed, and the Japanese knew they would never have survived their beachhead. That was the same reason the United States chose to use two A-bombs to bring about the surrender of Japan rather than invading their homeland.

Once he became Chancellor of Germany it took Adolph Hitler 30 days to conquer Germany by abrogating gun rights and abolishing the Weimar Constitution. During that period of time, Hitler's civilian militia, the Nazi Black Shirts, collected every registered weapon owned by all of the German people, killing those who resisted. Oh, by the way, that's one of the books Obama read several times in 2007 and 2008 (along with another book entitled The Post American World, when he ran for the White House. And, of course, that was the reason why Obama said:, "We live in the greatest country in the world. Help me change it." And, through stupidity, laziness, and sheer apathy, we have. Are you better off today than you were on January 19, 2009? I don't care if you are Black, White, Purple, Green, Brown or Yellow, you aren't.

Note: Fareed Zakaria, the author of The Post American World is an Islamic globalist from an important Muslim family in India who currently writes for the Washington Post. In 1992 he was named Editor of Foreign Affairs, the Council on Foreign Relations magazine. Zakaria describes himself as a centrist, although the honest media describes him as either a liberal or a social progressive. When you're part of the leftwing media which tries to sell itself as centrist, being labeled either a liberal (like his ABC and CNN airtime partner George Stephanoupolis) or a social progressive instead of a conservative, is not good for centrist news outlets (i.e., Fox News, The Washington Times or the Wall Street Journal, but it works for the left who portray themselves to other lefties as centrists when all of them know better.

Doctors at Fort Detrick military lab found a successful drug to combat ebola, RC-2Beta, in their Level 4 bio-weapons lab in 2013. As the US Navy, working closely with the US Army, were proceeding with the rollout of the drug, all communications with the medical team stopped abruptly two weeks before the ebola outbreak.

Editor's note: I generally never cite the writing of other websites, but in this instance I believe that Infowars guru Paul Joseph Watson is leading with the best researched version of this story by a country mile. When I can't find anything another writer has missed, I feel he should carry the credit for the story.

It appears the doctor who developed, and was working to perfect RC-2Beta, which kills four of the world's deadliest viruses in a dose-dependent fashion, discovered that in killing the cells infected by these viruses is a former US Navy flight surgeon, Dr. Richard C. Davis, MD. In the fall of 2013, Davis' company, Ogenx Therapeutics Corporation was in the clinical stage of testing RC-2Beta on over 300 human diseases and, from a veterinary perspective, over 8,000 equine diseases.

Dr. Davis noted in interviews with Infowars as well as interviews on ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC as well as print interviews with the LA Times, the New York Times, the Washington Post and several other newspapers in which Dr. Davis agreed to provide the media with the documents which proved his statements were true.The media apparently claimed they would hold the story until they had evidence in hand (since they did not want to raise false hopes if Davis' ":evidence" proved to be nothing more that wishful thinking).

When the Army told Dr. Davis' team that that the military was ready to quickly move ahead with further testing, Dr. Davis told Inforwars that "...[e]veryone was very excited about these results since there has never been a broad-spectrum anti-viral drug that killed so many different viruses without affecting normal uninfected cells in this way." It was at that moment that all communications between the US Army, which now possessed the formula for RC-2Beta, according to Dr. Davis that once success was achieved, "[o]ur once close communications and cordial relationship with the Ft. Detrick team went totally and inexplicably silent. Our phone calls went unanswered and emails unanswered." Davis said he was stunned when, two weeks later, the first reports of ebola emerged from Africa.

Since May of this year, Davis has reached out to the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control, the National Institutes of Health, Doctors Without Borders and various officials in the Food & Drug Administration. Davis said he has reached out to over 200 times to every health organization in the world that is involved with treating ebola victims.

Davis reached the sobering conclusion that what is happening is deliberate. "The response of the American government has been patently absorb. Every protocol that has been put into place (sine 2008) to prevent the spread of...[any contagious deadly]...disease has been ignored. Our borders remain open, infected patients are being brought into our hospitals, and no truly effective countermeasures have been erected to stem the tide of infectious risk. I am left to conclude that America's leadership is either guilty of gross misconduct, dereliction of duty, criminal negligence or worse—treason."

I agree with Dr. Davis and the suspicions put forth by Watson. What you're reading here reminds me of the movie OUTBREAK with Dustin Hoffman and Morgan Freeman about a deadly ebola-type virus called motaba that originated in Zaire, which of course ends up in one small town in California from a monkey smuggled into a pet store in that town.. The virus was created by the US government which, it seems, had a vaccine to prevent people from getting the virus and curing those already infected when they used biological weapons in war. Since the idea of a virus killing a whole town was created by the movie industry some years before, the military quarantined the town and planned to contain the disease by wiping out those who had it. It was at that point that the Hoffman character discovers the military had a vaccine for the virus for a couple of decades before it turned up in America. I know, it's just a movie.

Strangely, about the time the movie OUTBREAK was released, there was an ebola outbreak in Zaire. Since that outbreak and the one in West Africa, all of the victims were, and still are, being treated with ZMapp and other less successful drugs when there is one drug—RC-2Beta—that is known to kill ebola and 3 other equally deadly viruses without affecting healthly cells. Yet, the US government is now treating it like it does not exist.

Someone high up in Congress needs to be calling every Obama official from Fort Detrick, and from every health organization not only in the United States but in the UN and find out why they buried RC-2Beta, and who they planned to selectively inoculate with it.

Anyone who wants to dance to the White House tune and stonewall Congress needs to be locked up until the answers are forthcoming—or until the current administrative bureaucratic department heads are either fired or locked up. When you are playing political games with human lives and treating people like unwanted human capital someone needs to pay the piper.

Every appointee in the Obama official need to be in jail where, each morning when they wake up, they can look down the cellblock and chant, "Hail to the chief!" Which means, the man has to be removed from office before he can be tried and convicted of crimes ranging from malfeasance to treason.

Obama can't claim that he can't be expected to know everything that's going on in the country because, as president, there's just too much going on. He's may be constitutionally in charge of the nation's business, but since Jan. 20, 2009 the only thing Obama has done with any consistency is play community organizer, illegally using his office in the White House to work his social progressive-Islmofascist community activism, raising millions of dollars although he can no longer run. Like Al Gore and Bill and Hillary used their official White House offices to host Chinese officials and bankers, businessmen and the princes of industry from1996 to 1997, Obama entertains leftwing special interest groups, the Muslim Brotherhood and SEIU). Like Obama, Eric Holder will violate the Constitutional separation of powers. He will extend same-sex marriage rights to States with traditional marriage laws or State constitutional amendments defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman—(Feb.10, 2014)—In what amounts to the Department of Justice testing the legal waters to see how far Barack Obama & Company can stretch the US Supreme Court's granting of spousal privileges to same sex couples lawfully married in States whose legislators enacted same-sex marriage legislation, and whose governor signed that bill into law. In other words, where the Supreme Court struck down several provisions in the Defense of Marriage Act [DOMA] (as a union between a man and a woman), the high court did not leave the back door open for Attorney General Eric Holder and White House occupant Barack Obama.to expand same sex marriage into States which have either denied that right or simply chose not to bring the issue to the ballot.

Instead, the high court said: "...when the Constitution was adopted, the common understanding was that the domestic relations of husband and wife and parents and child were matters reserved to the States. Marriage laws may vary from State to State, but they are consistent within each State. DOMA rejects this long established precept. The State's decision to give this class of persons the right to marry conferred upon them a dignity and status of great import. But the Federal government used the State-defined class for an opposite purpose—to impose restrictions and disabilities, the question is whether the resulting injury and indignation is a deprivation of an essential part of liberty...since what New York treats as 'alike' the federal laws deems 'unlike' by a law designed to injure the same class the State seeks to protect."

When Obama & Company attempt to impose same sex marriage through the "telephone and the pen" or by ignoring laws—or by Justice Dept. fiat—when the Obama government ignores the fact that the domestic relations of husband and wife and parents and child are matters reserved to the State and not the federal government which was created subservient to the States who created it; and that the federal government cannot impose on the States a law or an executive order designed to injure the same class the States, by action or inaction, seeks to protect. In other words, in ruling that DOMA was unconstitutional, the Supreme Court also ruled it would be unconstitutional for the federal government to impose same sex marriage, or any semblance of it, on the States which, by action or inaction, oppose it.

Did Obama gag order kill Investors.com

story about FBI preventing the NSA from

datamining mosques—as they datamine you?—(Aug. 26,.2013)—Investor.com broke the story on June 12, 2013 that, since October, 2011 FBI surveillance and undercover sting operations of Muslim groups and mosques without senior level approval from a special oversight body in the Justice Department is forbidden. The special oversight body is called the Sensitive Operations Review Committee [SORC]. Who heads this committee? No one seems to know. Who sits on this committee? No one seems to know. What happened to the Investor.com editorial shedding light on the Obama-approved Sensitive Operations Review Committee? Who asked? Who cared? No one except the Obamaites on that invisible committee, and whomever is heading it. These are just a couple of items in a myriad of things Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have decided the American people don't need to know about what their "transparent" government is doing.

What does this special "sensitive" committee do? How is its authority derived? Voters would like to know these things. And, voters would like to know how Obama can't keep the NSA from "accidentally" dataming millions of US citizens, but it can selectively exclude handfuls of Muslims? These are questions that need to be answered—in a publicly televised Select Committee hearing, or in a publicly televised presidential impeachment hearing. Most Americans would prefer the impeachment hearing.

The covert, invisible "foundation" for the Sensitive Operations Review Committee was dug on Sunday, March 6, 2011 during a protest rally in New York's Times Square. While the rally appeared to have been financed by the Committee on American-Islamic Relations [CAIR], it was "fronted" by Iman Feisal Abdul Rauf (one of the 9-11 World Trade Center Mosque promoters) and Hip-Hopster Russell Simmons. What were they protesting? With CAIR slamming Congressman Peter King [R-NY] Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee,he appeared on Fox News where he said: "The media constantly quotes CAIR as though they were the Knights of Columbus, B'Nai Brith, or the Masons,' but the fact is CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a major terrorist funding case."

You might say the first shovel full of dirt from the ground-breaking of the SORC was tossed by then-Obama Deputy National Security Director Denis Richard McDonough (now White House Chief of Staff). McDonough was a senior fellow at the social progressive Center for American Progress until he joined Obama's campaign in 2008. On March 6, 2011, Obama sent McDonough to speak on his behalf at a mosque in Virginia—to counter King's political rhetoric. On March 18 Senate Minority Leader Dick Durbin [D-IL] announced the Senate was going to hold hearings on religious intolerance in order to renew our founding charter's commitment to religious diversity.

On the 22nd, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid [D-NV] initiated the hearing in the Senate's new Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil and Human Rights which, of course demonized King. The Senate hearing did not result in the passage of legislation creating special rights for Muslims. The left in the Senate, and the media, argued that the majority of religious hate crimes were committed against Muslims. The Washington Times, using 2009 data (the last whole year for which statistics were available at the time) which said, in the United States, 9.3% of the 1,376 religious hate crimes in the United States were committed against Muslims—far less than the 70.1% that were committed against Jews.

Sometime between March 22, 2011 (when Durbin and Reid spoke about creating special rights for Muslims) and June 12, 2013 when Investor.com reported that the Obama Administration had ordered the NSA and the FBI to exclude mosques—the jihadist factories where domestic terrorists are radicalized —and the Islamic organizations like CAIR that finance unrest, Obama and his Muslim "outreach" staffers in the West Wing, formed what would be revealed by Investor.com as the Sensitive Operations Review Committee which would be exempt from the universal datamining of emails, telephone calls and other forms of surreptitious electronic surveillance.

Conversely, it's interesting that, according to the Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper [Lt. Gen, USAF-Ret.], the NSA (tongue-in-cheek) inadvertently, and completely accidentally, trapped millions of electronic communiquÈ between working class Americans, implying that with PRISM you get a server-wide data vac rather than a precision instrument that allows PRISM to selectively datamine one home or office and leapfrog what's on either side of it.

Clapper told Congress, under oath, that the NSA does not wittingly collect data on American citizens, implying if would be difficult to collect the specific data the government needed without a strong likelihood of also capturing thousands, if not millions, of names not covered in a FISA warrant. Clapper's explanation to 4th term Sen. Ron Wyden [D-OR] when asked if the NSA had datamined millions of American citizens, Clapper replied, "Not wittingly. There are cases where they could, inadvertently perhaps— but not wittingly." Clapper very clearly told Wyden that PRISM doesn't allow the NSA to selectively datamine one home or office and leapfrog that "target's" neighbors. But, we now learn from Investor.com—and "unwittingly" from James Clapper—that the broad-reaching datamining of millions of Americans was not "unwittingly" after all. So, now we know the Obama Administration is deliberately datamining US citizens as they deliberately avoid datamining potential terrorists. The question the media—right and left—in the United States needs to answer, right now, is WHY? on both counts. And we need to do that before the Obama White House has a political database that separates the sheep from the lions—by phone number, email and street address.

Supreme Court rules on behalf of an Obama donor; overturns a $21.6 million judgment. 

Their generic drug for Clinoril™ caused a woman's skin to peel off, permanently disfiguring her.—(June 10, 2013)—In December, 2004, after receiving a prescription for Sulindac®, the generic version of Merck's Clinoril™, Karen Bartlett showed up at a local New Hampshire emergency room complaining of "pimple-like bumps and blisters on her face." Bartlett's doctor prescribed Sulindac®, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug manufactured by Mutual Pharmaceuticals for shoulder pain. When she arrived at the emergency room, Karen Bartlett not only had spots and blisters on her face, she also had an eye irritation and a fever. Blood tests revealed Bartlett was suffering from Stevens-Johnson Syndrome that was rapidly evolving into a potentially fatal condition toxic epidermal necrolysis characterized by large lesions. Bartlett spend three months in the hospital—two of them in a medically-induced comma. When she woke up, she was suffering from permanent injuries.

Sulindac®, the generic form of Clinoril™, was approved by the FDA in 1991. Clinoril™ was approved in 1979. The Bartletts contended in their lawsuit that, following its approval by the Food and Drug Administration, Mutual Pharmaceuticals had an obligation to conduct post-approval safety surveillance for reports of adverse reactions to the drug that suggest the quality control of Sulindac® might not be what it should be, or that nasty side-affects simply pop up like a blister or lesion after extended use. In addition, the Bartletts alleged that Mutual Pharmaceuticals had a moral responsibility to advise the end user of any potential serious side-affects including anything negative buried in the medical literature. And, was there anything in that literature that would have warned the physician thinking about prescribing it of the potential dangers Karen Bartlett actually experienced?

The Bartlett lawsuit alleged seven counts. One—failure to warn the market place of potential health hazards. Two—Asserting product liability in a product defective in design. Three—fraud by omitting or concealing material facts about potential risks from using Sulindac®. Four—breach of an implied warranty. Five—breach of express warranty that Sulindac® was safe. Six—negligence in failing to use reasonable care in marketing Sulindac®. And, seven—gross negligence based on all of the above.

On July 24, 2013, the Supreme Court ruled on behalf of Mutual Pharmaceutical in a 5 to 4 vote, striking down a lower court's decision to award Karen Bartlett $21 million to compensate her for damages causes by adverse reactions from the generic drug. The SCOTUS ruling was a reiteration of a 2011 decision in which the high court held that "...[i]n prior decisions, the Court has recognized that it may sometimes be impossible for a drug company to comply with FDA design and labeling requirements on the one hand and State laws on the other—typically because State law authorizes liability for drugs that meet FDA standards. The conflict is especially acute for for generic versions of name-brand drugs." In other words, name brand drugs can still be singled out for mislabeling, fraud and adverse drug side effects, but generic versions of the same drug, made from the same formulation and the same warnings, can not be. Dissenting Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayer argued that "...the Court has left a seriously injured customer without any remedy despite Congress' explicit efforts to preserve State common-law liability."

But Mutual Pharmaceutical, whose donations to Obama and to several Democratic SuperPacs in the 2012 election totaled $2,332,500.00 was happy about the high court's decision. Take off their total donations to the social progressives, and Mutual was still ahead by $18,667,500.00.

John Kerry thinks prosperity is evil—(May 29,.2013)—When the widow of Sen. H. John Heinz III [R-PA] (the H. J. Heinz Company fortune) married Massachusetts junior Senator John Kerry, the nuptials were conditioned on a prenuptial agreement that shielded Teresa Heinz's inherited $1.2 billion fortune from her new husband should they ever divorce. Sen. John Heinz III died in a plane-helicopter collision on April 4, 1991 On May 26, 1995 Kerry and Heinz married. Choosing to keep her name and also choosing to remain a Republican until Kerry's presidential bid in 2004 was a slap in the face to Kerry, but his station in life had just improved exponentially , so he said nothing. Teresa Heinz told the media that her "...legal name is still Teresa Heinz. Teresa Heinz Kerry is my name—for politics. Teresa Heinz is what I've been all my...adult life...And, it's the name of my boys, you know?"

Teresa Heinz chairs The Heinz Endowments and the Heinz Family Philanthropies. An active social progressive who is pretty much disliked by the Howard John Heinz family, Teresa Heinz is a major donor to the Tides Foundation and the Tides Center, the Environmental Defense Fund, Earth Action Network, Global Exchange, National Resources Defense Council, the Environmental Media, the Mexican American Legal Defense Fund, the Feminist Majority Foundation, ACORN and scores of other social progressive and outwardly vocal anti-American communist organizations.

Secretary of State John Kerry, who enjoys a lifestyle only imagined by 99% of the American people, apparently believes that those who enjoy prosperity obstruct peaceful coexistence. The "haves" bully the "have-nots." Kerry's view is the view of the world's liberal elites—the top 5% of that 1% which the socialist "99%ers" protested against in 2012. Of course, the wealth the ".005%ers" want redistributed isn't the wealth of the "1%ERs," its the working class "wealth" of the middle class.

Prior to Secretary Kerry addressing the World Economic Forum on the Middle East on May 25, 2013, he made the following statement to the media through a transcript of his speech, in which he said: "I think there's an opportunity for peace, but for many reasons it's not on the tips of everyone's tongue. People in Israel aren't waking up every day ad wondering if tomorrow there will be peace because there is a sense of security and a sense of accomplishment and of prosperity." Kerry's remarks were delivered to the media three days before the World Forum on the Middle East took place in Jordan.

The Israeli media responded quickly, with the Jewish Press saying: "So, Secretary Kerry thinks it would be better for Israel to approach negotiations from a position of precarious poverty? Does he think Israel's quest for legitimacy and security in an unstable, overarmed and hostile region would be better received if Israel were a needy, insecure supplicant to Palestinian and Arab interests? Or that the Palestinians would have pity on an unnerved and anxious Israel struggling with a bankrupt, aid-dependent economy?" (I wonder why the Israeli press did not add "...like the United States." on the end of that last sentence?

The Palestinians saw Kerry's remark as a sign that they could leverage Israel not only for land, but the industrial and/or commercial asset, as spoils of war, on that land. Interestingly, the day after Kerry met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, the prosperity dialogue made its way into Kerry's meeting with reporters when he said that "...Palestinians have a priority concern with respect to knowing that they can secure an independent, sovereign and prosperous state with clear lines as defined previously by them along the 1967 lines." Kerry, of course, is talking about the pre-Six Day War "lines" when Egypt, Syria and Jordan tried to obliterate Israel and, overwhelming lost their bid to secure, by force of arms, a Palestinians homeland (which they had never possessed in the history of the world) primarily because the Arabs, who did not trust the Palestinians, did not want them living in their lands.

As for prosperity, the Israeli economy is strong and the unemployment rate in Israel is currently around 6.5% (and they don't have to pretend that unemployed people who give up looking for work because there are no jobs are no longer unemployed). The unemployment rate in Israel has been lower than that in the United States for as long as Barack Obama has been the "practicing occupier" in the White House.

The left loves National Security Letters and credits

them to Bush-43, whom they claim created the NSL

in Title 19 USC Sec. 2510(8) of the Patriot Act. Only

Bush-43 didn't created them—(May 12,.2013)—On March 15, 2013 US District Court Judge Susan Yvonne Illuston of the Northern District of California (who was appointed to the bench by Bill Clinton on May 25, 1995) ruled that it's unconstitutional for the Obama Administration's FBI to use National Security Letters [NSLs] to demand information—and cooperation beyond the subpoena level—from telephone carriers about their subscribers. A provision in the USA Patriot Act makes revealing that you're been served with a NSL letter is a criminal act. Under the law, you can't even tell your lawyer you were served with Uncle Sam's top secret warrantless search warrant.

Generally, at least since the World Trade Center collapse and the USA Patriot Act, the only time National Security Letters are supposed to be used are on national security grounds when the government feels a need exists to temporarily revoke the civil liberties of a specific American citizen or business entity in order to compel them to reveal information they might otherwise be protected by the Bill of Rights from revealing.

When Barack Obama purportedly served NSLs on 14 State governors on May 26, 2010 to prevent the Governors from creating what Obama theoretically referred to as "State Defense Forces" (a State defense force separate from the National Guard which cannot be federalized is actually lawful under 37 USC §109). Obama purportedly advised the governors to cease and desist in their efforts, or face the charge of treason. In point of fact, creating a secondary State guard to handle State emergencies like hurricane, tornadoes or other natural calamities without recalling federalized National Guard units which might be serving in a war zone, is completely legal. Logic suggests the examiner.com story, purportedly written by Ken Larive of the Lafayette Political Buzz and reported in the examiner.com by Dr. Lyle J. Rapacki.

The examiner.com, which reported a story that was not printed by anyone of credible consequence, added the caveat that the story might be bogus since no governor has admitted they had received a NSL, or were threatened with jail if they spoke out about receiving one. The patriot right was convinced, with absolutely no evidence, that the story was true only because according to reports, the law prevented the governors from telling anyone they had been served. The examiner.com also said that the National Security Letter was created by George W. Bush under the Patriot Act. The examiner.com was as wrong about that comment as they were in their decision to print Larive's Lafayette Political Buzz story. The National Security Letter was not created by Bush-43 nor the GOP-controlled 107th Congress. It was created in 1978 by Jimmy Carter to circumvent, in part, the Right to Financial Privacy Act (12 USC § 3401 which provided customers of financial institutions a degree of privacy from government searches. Special surveillance rights were buried in Executive Order 12036 (an Executive Order theoretically written to restrict the intelligence community from conducting intelligence operations against US citizens). But like most government documents, you have to look closely see the sleight-of-hand. EO 12036 restricts the intelligence crowd unless the President and/or Attorney General has authorized the surveillance and/or investigation because probable cause exists that the person to be investigated is, or could be, an agent of a foreign power.

Before the law, the government didn't have to tell people when they were accessing their financial records. Nor did citizens have the power to prevent them from taking such actions. However, it should be noted that Section 505 of the Patriot Act expanded the use of NSLs as Bush-43 used them to investigate Muslim organizations in the United States who were either raising funds for al Qaeda or were communicating with radical Muslim front groups around the world when links to terrorist groups were suspected.

Social progressive Jimmy Carter didn't like the Right to Financial Privacy Act. In his book, Nation of Sheep, Judge Andrew Napolitano noted that almost from the moment of the ratification of the Constitution of the United States, those elected to preserve the Constitution began to dismantle it. "In virtually every Administration," Napolitano said, "...the government has sought ingenious ways to evade and avoid its obligation under our Founding charter."

When Judge Illston's ruling stopped the Obama Administration from issuing NSLs in a case brought by the Electronic Frontier Foundation which defends online freedom. Judge Illson's decision was based on the argument that the NSL gag rule violated the 1st Amendment—if not the 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments since 97% of all NSLs issued included gag orders which imposed nondisclosure requirements that made it very difficult for the recipient of a NSL to adequately defend him-(or her)-self. Obama's FCC and Justice Dept. are largely targeting the Internet which has become the news portal of America. At the Circuit Court level, the federal judiciary has ruled that not only does the blogsphere enjoy all free speech rights, it also enjoys the same freedom of the press rights enjoyed by newspapers and magazines. That's why groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation are working so hard to protect the cyberights of the American citizen.

From 2003 to 2006 the FBI issued 192,399 NSLs (or 48,100 per year). A Washington Post investigation in 2006 showed that the FBI misused NSLs in fully 60% of the cases—or an average of 28,860 wrongful and abusive investigations per year. The Washington Post exposé brought down the use of NSLs. In 2007 the FBI issued 24,287 NSLs. In 2008 the number dropped to 15,511 NSLs issued..

But since Obama likes anything that shrouds transparency, expect the numbers to spiral upward again. The Washington Post reminded the nation that US citizens, by right, enjoy constitutional protection from unreasonable search and seizure and because they do, judicial warrants, issued by regular judges are needed before a government agency can spy on an American citizen.

Everytime the question of NSLs have ended up in federal court, the courts have ruled that National Security Letters are unconstitutional. The FBI continues to use them because in 2008, the FBI's general counsel Valerie Caproni told investigators that simply because she disagreed with the court's decisions it was appropriate to continue issuing the NSLs.

Judge Andrew Napolitano was right. The federal government believes they had the right to dismantle the Constitution if it gets in their way of collecting the evidence they need to put people away. A President who abuses what is wrongly construed to be his Executive Order prerogative (since legislating from the Oval Office is a separation of powers violation), by using them, he is willfully violating the rule of law. Since the Executive Branch also does not Constitutionally possess Judicial authority (nor does Congress—which means Congress cannot transfer to the President power that is constitutionally not theirs to grant), the federal courts have repeatedly, since Obama took office, reiterated time and again, that NSLs are unconstitutional and their use violates the 1st, 4th, 5th and 6th Amendments. Yet, knowing this, Obama continues to use them. Abuse of power is an impeachable offense. US Senate came five votes away from surrendering the 2nd Amendment to the UN—(April 15,.2013)—But, that's just "round one." Barack Obama and antigun moguls Sen. Chuck Schumer [D-NY] and Sen. Frank Lautenberg [D-NJ] first proposed the best way to neuter the 2nd Amendment was by taxing ammunition out of the market place. Make it too expensive to buy. That way it wouldn't matter if you killed the US Senate proposal to ratify the UN Small Arms Treaty or not. That way, it wouldn't matter if the effort to save the 2nd Amendment passed or failed on April 13. As it was, in a 53 to 46 vote the United States Senate voted to uphold the 2nd Amendment and prevent the Senate from voting to affirm the intention of the US Senate to "...uphold the Second Amendment rights [of the American people]. and prevent the United States from entering the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty." Keep in mind, the Senate did not reject the ratification of the UN Small Arms Treaty, they simply did what the US Senate did in December, 1997 after Vice President Al Gore "ceremonially" signed the UN Global Warming Treaty—they voted 97-0 to reject the Kyoto Protocol, making it clear to the world that the United States emphatically would not ratify that treaty—it would be dead on arrival at the doorstep to the US Senate.

In 2010, Hillary Clinton ceremoniously signed the UN Small Arms Treaty in what was purported to be nothing more than a symbolic photo-op that didn't really mean anything since the American people knew that it required three-fourths of the States to ratify a treaty before it becomes law in the United States. The votes were, you might say, shots fired over the bow of the USS Social Progressive—telling Al Gore and Bill Clinton not to sign the Kyoto Protocol because the Senate had no intention of ever ratifying it; and telling Barack Obama who was chomping at the bit to ratify the UN Small Arms Treaty that he knows he does not have the votes to ratify it although Bill Clinton also symbolically signed what was still referred to as the Kyoto Protocol rather than the UN Global Warming Treaty because the resolution was never ratified by the United Stales Senate. So, why did the Senate, in 1997, hold a special vote to advise the Clinton Administration that it would categorically reject the Kyoto Treaty? And why did former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sign the UN Small Arms Treaty in 2010?

US law stipulates that all treaties must be ratified by 3/4th of the Senate before the President of the United States (the only person allowed by US law to do so) signs it. No other official in the United States government is allowed to sign a treaty—even ceremoniously—since, based on Emer de Vattel's The Law of Nations, the foundation of international law and the basis of global common law, while the signature of a lesser government official is only indicative that the nation intends to ratify the treaty, the lesser dignitary's signature does not legally bind that nation to the contract, but it does obligate that nation to act in accordance with the terms of the covenant until that nation's leader and/or parliament accepts or rejects it. If that nation's Senate or Parliament fails to act on the treaty—by either ratifying or rejecting it—the signature of the Secretary of State will perpetually bind that nation to the terms of the treaty.

The UN Small Arms Treaty, which has been rushed fast and furiously by Obama, and role-played like a movie script by US Attorney General Eric Holder's illegal gun trafficking scheme called "Fast & Furious" after the 2012 Vin Diesel movie of the same name. Logic suggests the gunrunning scheme was dreamed up by Obama's social progressive Justice Department which desperately wanted a gun-free (or at least ammo-depleted) America by the Election of 2012. Obama, like the rest of the social progressive world, saw themselves as close to creating a wholly communist world within their lifetime. To achieve their objective they needed only to strip from those Free People their right to own firearms, or if they could not achieve that goal, to make securing the ammunition those weapons required as difficult to get as is humanly possible. And, to make the task of confiscating weapons feasible, the taskmasters needed to achieve one other thing the left has wanted since 1934—a national gun registry that will make it easy for the left to seize all lawful weapons when the time is right.

You might think that even if the UN outlaws the private ownership of guns everywhere else in the world, that the 2nd Amendment will protect the right of US citizens to own firearms since the Bill of Rights is the supreme law of the land. Or, is it? Most Americans thought so until 1937, when a challenge by Mexico over a 1916 Migratory Bird Treaty raised a question about Article VI, paragraph 2 of the Constitution which said "treaties" are the "supreme law" of the land. In the view of every American, the Constitution and particularly, the Bill of Rights is the supreme law of the land—until 1937 when Mexico won against a Missouri State law which said that game birds native to the State of Missouri could be hunted in Missouri, and eaten for dinner. Mexico disagreed and sued. Missouri argued that under the 10th Amendment they had the right to shoot Missouri game birds in Missouri. Former Sen. Elijah Root, who not only wrote the law the Missourians cited, but also argued in court that Article Vi trumped the 10th Amendment. Missouri lost. Obama and the lefties of his ilk all believe when the UN Small Arms Treaty ends up in the US Supreme Court that the conservatives will lose their right to own firearms.

Astonishingly, defeating the measure to protect the status of the 2nd Amendment should have been an easy vote for Harry Reid [D-NV] since the social progressives control the Senate with 63 Democrats and 2 independents who always vote with the left. Adding to the woes of the GOP, the Republicans have only 45 members, making it hard for them to reach the threshold they needed to stop the stop the Democrats. . In a battle where you'd think the left, which controls the Senate should have easily found the ten moderate votes to shift a purple State Blue. But the Red State cowboys and and red, white and blue purple State moderates stubbornly refused to let the unarmed UN members around the world —who don't want Americans to have any rights they don't have, even if that means everyone in the world becomes the human chattel of princes of industry and barons of banking and business—keep their guns. Be forewarned. When the final round of counting takes place—the vote that really matters since the vote that determines whether or not the world States (except for the really bad people who don't obey those laws, treaty or not) allow themselves to be disarmed not out of respect for the laws, but out of fear of the dictators who rule. Even though, in the United States, its a simple vote of 100 Senators, the people controlling the US Senate cheat. In 2008 Obama got 35 plus million more votes than voters. In 2012, he got 36 million more votes than voters. So, if you see more than 100 votes tallied in the Senate favoring the ratification of converting liberty into the unarmed bondage to a dictator, you'll know that vote was as honest as the presidential elections of 2008 and 2012.

 

 

ACLU files lawsuit to kill law to stop insider trading by Congressmen and federal workers—(Aug. 4, 2012)—American Civil Liberties Union [ACLU] plaintiff lawyer Jack McCay filed a lawsuit citing the Privacy Law to prevent a new law designed to stop insider trading by members of Congress, staffers and nearly 30 thousand Executive Branch employees from taking effect. The ACLU filed the lawsuit Thursday, Aug. 2 in Greenbelt, MD. The lawsuit argues that the law's requirement that federal workers—including legislators —disclose financial transactions greater than $1,000 is an unconstitutional invasion of privacy that will subject those workers to a real fear of identity theft.

While the ACLU attempts to make it appear their concern, and the purpose of the lawsuit, was to protect the rights of the rank-and-file Jane and John Doe federal employees, the reality is the ACLU lawsuit wasn't filed to protect rank and federal federal employees. It was initiated solely to prevent the veil of secrecy from being penetrated, revealing which members of Congress were using nonpublic information to buy or sell stocks and profiting from their privileged status. For example, former House Speaker Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro Pelosi and her husband Paul Frank Pelosi (who owns Financial Leasing Services, Inc., a San Francisco-based venture capital investment, real estate and consulting firm), have been financially enriched by at least eight IPOs since Nancy Pelosi became Minority Leader in the House of Representatives.

One of those IPOs was singled out by CBS reporter Steve Croft who questioned Pelosi in a 60-Minutes segment Croft questioned Pelosi about her buying five thousand shares of Visa stock at $44 per share in 2008 at the moment a crucial piece of legislation that was viewed as troublesome for credit card companies was making its way through the House. Two days after she bought the credit card stock, it was trading at $64 a share. The troublesome credit card legislation never made it through the House to a vote. Then-House Speaker Pelosi made $100 thousand profit in two days when she made the legislation the credit card industry did not want, go away. In her interview with Croft, the CBS reporter asked Pelosi about what appeared to him to be a "shaky" stock transaction. Stuttering and struggling to find the right words to disarm Croft after being waylaid by a "friendly network," Pelosi tried to brush aside Croft's allegation by noting that the tough credit card legislation did eventually pass. What she failed to volunteer was that two years would pass before it did—and then, only because the bill that initiated credit card reforms was introduced in the Senate.

As Obamacare was making its way though the House and Senate in 2009, a health insurance public option was inserted in the bill. While then GOP Minority leader John Boehner [R-OH] opposed the public option, Boehner's trust which manages the Congressman's personal investments, bought some health insurance company stocks. Croft raised that question with Boehner although Croft was quick to add that Boehner did not have an inside track on killing of the public option, nor the ability to do it in the super majority Democratic House of Representatives. Killing the public option was done by retiring Sen. Joe Lieberman [I-CT] who threatened to join the GOP filibuster if the public option wasn't removed from the bill.

When Bush's Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke held their infamous closed door, hush-hush meeting with senior congressional leaders in 2008, Bernanke and Paulson convinced all of them if they did not enact a massive stimulus program to artificially boost the economy, it was very likely America was going to experience its second Great Depression. Bernanke and Paulson said pretty much the same thing to President George W. Bush. Congressman Spencer Bachus [R-AL], who became the chairman of the House Finance Committee in Jan. 2011, believed the witches' brew that was served up by Paulson and Bernanke in that meeting, that when the meeting was over, Bachus used that insider information to protect his investment portfolio by buying stock options that would yield a high return if the stock market tanked and the economy went belly-up as surmised by the nation's top money men who were honestly worried there was a good possibility that the world was facing the start of a global monetary meltdown. In their mind, the financial rape of the American people was justified by the alternative.

While the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act (STOCK Act) HR 1148, was signed by Barack Obama on April 4, 2012, it would be Aug. 1 before a subsequent piece of legislation closed a loophole left in the law that would allow family members of lawmakers to continue to profit from inside information. In his Jan. 24, 2012 State of the Union address Obama called on Congress to increase its own transparency through a law that outlawed members of Congress and their staffs from profiting from insider information. Disgruntled Congressmen decided what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Sen. Richard Shelby [R-AL] attached Section 11 (which he originally proposed as an amendment to the STOCK Act which bound all members of the Executive Branch to the transparency clause, requiring all Executive Branch agency heads to disclose, by postings on their agency websites, all of their financial holdings not later than 30 days after the required forms were filed.

On July 19, 2012, 14 former high-ranking Executive Branch officials signed a letter to Congress advocating the seriousness of requiring presidential appointees to disclose, online, all of their assets—including real estate holdings, retirement funds, bank accounts and scores of other personal data that Internet scavengers use to steal identities. The Privacy Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-579, 88 Stat 1896 USC § 552a) that the ACLU cited as the legal basis for killing Section 11 does not apply to Congress. It applies only to the Executive Branch.. So, if the ACLU prevails, Obama's personal "transparency" will still be protected.

Meet the creator of Romneycare—Salvatore F. "Sal" DiMasi —(July 2, 2012)—On April 2, 2012 I posted an article in which I noted that then Presidential candidate Rick Santorum knew that the originator of Massachusetts healthcare system was not Gov. Mitt Romney but Massachusetts House Speaker Salvatore F. "Sal" DiMasi. Santorum excused his lie by using quotes from former turncoat Republican-turned-Democrat Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter's political autobiography, Life Among the Cannibals, in which he minimized his role as the 60th-and-deciding-vote for Obamacare by saying he did not think Obamacare would be any worse than Romneycare—suggesting by what he did not say (nor has anyone in the liberal media) that Romney authored the socialized medicine law in Massachusetts when, in point of fact, the healthcare system in Massachusetts was created by, and rammed through both Houses of the Massachusetts legislature by the State's most powerful politician—House Speaker Sal DiMasi. Ironically, the man who crafted what was supposed to clone Hillarycare—the Clinton's 1993 Health Security Act—(from which Obamcare was crafted) found, in the end, it didn't work for him. You might even say that, in the end, DiMasi—who became federal Inmate #27317038 for trading political quid pro quos for Massachusetts healthcare and education system IT services for campaign contributions—did himself in. Prison inmate DiMasi became a victim of the federal Medicare system—long waits for a doctor, longer waits for a diagnosis and even longer waits for treatment that many times come only after it's too late to save the patient's life.

DiMasi (like every other politician in the country who very clearly understood that government healthcare systems are a portal that will be used to euthanize the elderly when they become a drain on the system), did not subscribe to what should have been called DiMasicare. On June 21, 2012, DiMasi's lawyer, Thomas Kiley, told Fox 25 News that DiMasi has stage 4 cancer in his throat and tongue which spread very quickly because the State repeatedly ignored his requests for medical tests for the lumps he detected in his own neck.

In January, 2012 DiMasi was diagnosed with a possible cancer. Additional tests in May verified he had a squamous cell cancer that had spread to his tongue. While the Massachusetts healthcare system is a voluntary program and, as long as the Massachusetts resident purchases private insurance through their work (or an individual plan on their own), they are exempt from having to be covered by the public health system. Until he was incarcerated for taking quid pro quos (bribes) from donors, DiMasi had "good insurance." As Inmate #27317038, he's stuck with Medicaid or Medicare. And now, it appears, DiMasi will be stuck with the Independent Payment Advisory Board which is charged with rationing healthcare services to the elderly—and those whose quality-of-life isn't worth the investment to treat them.

So, the unanswered question is—if you were the Left, would you name Massachusetts' healthcare system after a jailbird or a governor with integrity? And, would you want a very unpopular socialized healthcare system compared to a plan developed by Hillary Clinton (Hillarycare) (National Archive, Box #1748) or one claimed to have been created by a respected GOP governor? Romney only tinkered with DiMasi's plan, changing the individual mandate into a public or private option that actually worked. Hillarycare is pretty much identical to Obamacare (with both plans utilizing an euthanasia mandate to save Social Security by dramatically reducing the number of people receiving old age income benefits). What is now called Romneycare actually works—which is why the left likes to compare Obamcare with "Romneycare." If you were the leftwing media, what would you compare to Obama's plan? DiMasicare? Who'd want it? Hillarycare? Who would trust it? Romneycare works best for the left. It doesn't matter if it's not true. It only matters if the Useful Idiots believe it's true. The only parts of DiMasicare that Romney owns is that [a] he made it work with the public-private option, and [b] he signed it into law.

Obamacare, on the other hand (as we are already seeing in its applications to Medicare), is all about denying benefits to the double dippers if the bureaucracy believes the cost to society is too great based solely on the life expectancy of the elderly patient who needs either a medical procedure or an expensive pharmaceutical to stay alive, and whether or not that citizen will contribute enough back to society to offset the cost of the lifesaving treatment combined with the drain that person makes on the system each month in the form of Social Security payments. That is, after all, the real reason for Obamacare. Socialized medicine, in every country that uses it, is the devise used by government to "correct" the life expectancy actuarial tables.

When retirement income benefits were created by governments (beginning with Germany) "retirement age" was set at age 65 in a world where the combined lifespan of men and women averaged 59.7 years. The average lifespan of men (of all races) was 58.1 years, and for women it was 61.6 years. Workers were not supposed to life long enough to draw benefits. Which meant, the bureaucrats who created the program expected the tax levied on all incomes was "free money" for the politicians to spend.

Here's the rub. In 2010, the average lifespan of both sexes was 78.7 years—20 years longer than the lifespan of people when Social Security was created. Men, who lived 58 years when FDR's grand scheme was initiated now live 76.2 years—almost two decades longer. Women, whose average lifespan was 61 years in 1930 also live two decades longer.

Since the government's retirement ponzi scheme was originally designed to pay only a minimal amount to its "benefits recipients," Uncle Sam has been in trouble since 1950 when medicine began keeping people alive until age 68. Governent needed a devise since 1944 to correct the actuarial tables. Five presidents from 1933 on tried to fix the problem by enacting an euthanasia devise called national healthcare. They are: Franklin D. Roosevelt who tried three times in his four terms to correct the problem; Harry S. Truman; Lyndon B. Johnson, even Republican "I'm not a Crook" Richard Nixon tried. And, before Obama, the co-presidency of Bill and Hillary Clinton tried. In Hillary's plan was the establishment of an AIDS gulag that resembled the Public Heath TB Sanatoriums where those diagnosed with tuberculosis would be sent until their TB was cured. Once someone with HIV was diagnosed as AIDS-active, they would be rounded up by the Public Health Service and sent to a "treatment center." Once committed, the patient would spend the rest of their lives—which a Clinton White House protocol suggested as the Health Security Act was dying in Congress—would not be long. That provision in the failed Clinton Health Security Act appears to have been the precursor to Obama's Death Board.

Who's Islamophobic? Only governments need apply—(Mar. 1, 2012)—I've never met an American, Canadian, Brit or Aussie citizen who was "afraid" of the burka-clad women whose faces are concealed with a hijab when they are in public. (A "phobia" is a fear. The purveyors of political correctness love using that word—phobia—because it implies there is something wrong with those so labeled.) Finding a particular lifestyle or behavior personally offensive or sinful simply doesn't translate to fear. Unfortunately, only social progressives are allowed to officially coin "phobia"phrases since in the world of political correctness PC afflictions affect only those those who are politically or socially conservative.

Who is actually afraid are the burqa-clad women whose faces are concealed with a hijab when they are in public. If you're looking for a true Islamophobe, look at the woman behind the hijab. Out of fear, she would likely defend her father's right, or her brothers or uncles prerogative to punish her if she was not properly covered when she steps outside her home. You may see her walking down any street in America where religious freedom is an inherent right*, or in an airport, but the laws she is forced to obey in the prison she wears as a garment, are 1,280 years old—and they are rigidly enforced on those in bondage to Islam. (*Dearborn, Michigan is now an American city where the 1st Amendment right to religious liberty no longer exists if you are a practicing Christian or Jew.) On Feb. 29, 2012 a retired fireman and British celebrity, David Jones (the creator of a popular children's character in England, Fireman Sam) was forcibly detained when he arrived at the British Airways security area in Gatwick Airport for making what British airport officials called a "racist remark."

Jones, age 67, who was expecting to meet his two daughters who had already passed through security and were in the Departure Lounge waiting to have coffee with him before his flight to Portugal (where he now lives) left. It would be a lunch date not kept.

As he went through security, Jones placed his belongings, including a scarf, into a tray to pass through the X-ray scanner. At that moment he spotted a Muslim woman in a burqa, her face covered with a hijab, being waved through the security area without being obligated to uncover her face to, say, prove the face behind the mask was a woman and not a bearded terrorist wearing a bomb belt under the burqa. Jones, at that moment, was picking up his own scarf from the plastic tray and bantered: "I wonder what would happen if I was wearing this scarf over my face?"

His remark proved to be a monumental error in judgment. The security official who was clearing him to board the plane said , "I know what you mean, but we have our rules, and you aren't allowed to say that." When Jones walked through the metal detector, his artificial hip set off the alarm and triggered an intrusive full body search that later (when the whole ordeal was over) prompted Jones to tell the London Telegraph that the experience was "...something like George Orwell's 1984...I feel that my rights as an individual have been violated. What I underwent amounts to intimidation and detention. I was humiliated and degraded in full public view. I am a 67-year old pensioner and have lived my life within the law. I do not have even one point on my drivers' license." David Jones, who apparently has been living life as a British celebrity, had just been introduced to the world of Big Brother.

When Jones completed his first bad experience with one of Gatwick Airport's Brother Bartholomews, he had a second encounter a few moments later with another Gatwick Airport official, this time a female Big Brother. This would be the bizarre ordeal Jones would later recount to the London Telegraph. She told Jones he was being detained because he made an offensive remark.

Jones repeated what he had previously spoken, adding that he had said nothing racist. Since she had taken his passport and boarding pass he had little recourse except to follow her back through the security zone to the outer area when she then questioned him, inferring many racial and ethnic insults he had not spoken—nor thought. In his interview with the Telegraph, Jones said "...it was impossible to get her to listen to reason. We were then joined by a second female security guard who stated that she was Muslim—and was deeply distressed by my comment."

There's the fly in the ointment. Jones, whose original comment to what it turns out was made to a "wired" security guard: "I wonder what would happen if I was wearing this scarf over my face?" did not offend the hijab-covered Muslim woman who, of course, did not hear his comment—it offended a Muslim airport official who took personal umbrage to the remark. So, when the airport officials demanded that Jones apologize for offending the woman, she was actually demanding that he apologize to the Muslim British Airway woman who was eavesdropping on his remark the security officer processing him for boarding. She needs to get a life. (Hopefully that life is back in the prehistoric Muslim world from which she came.)

Jones once again reiterated that he had not made a racist remark but merely observed that they were in a maximum security area in the check-in process where people are searched, and where a woman wearing what amounted to a mask passed through without anyone giving her a second glance. "I made no reference to race or religion," Jones told the second woman. "I did not swear or raise my voice." The Airport Duty Manager was them called to settle the dispute. He sided with the female employees.

Jones told the Telegraph that at that point he said: "I had now been detained for some time, and my daughters were worried, calling me on my phone, asking what was happening. We were going around in circles. I maintained that I had said nothing offensive and the security guard was continuing to accuse me. This had taken about 15-20 minutes, and it looked as though it was not going to be resolved. I asked the security guard if she was going to charge me, to which she said no. But I was told I could not leave until I had apologized to the Muslim guard. At this point, I asked for ...a police officer. After some time, he arrived. But it was also plainly evident that he was keeping to the politically correct code. I told him that if there was a case, then he should arrest me.

"He said that we now live in a different time, and some things are not to be said. They decided again that I would only be allowed to continue on my journey if I were to apologize to the Muslim guard..." to whom Jones said nothing, but whom overheard Jones ask a pointed question with no ethnic references attached "...My reply was that since I had not made a racist remark it would be impossible for me to apologize." Jones once again insisted he had made a logical comment based on the fact that everyone in the maximum security area was receiving an invasive search—and no one even thought to ask the woman to momentarily raise her hijab to make sure there was a woman and not a man, under it.

Finally, the British Airways official sought a compromise, asking Jones if he would agree that what he said "could be" construed by the female Muslim security official as offensive. With his flight departure now moments away, and with there being no chance to visit with his daughters, Jones agreed that what he said could have been misconstrued by the Muslim employee as something it was not. Now escorted by the police to get to his flight on time, Jones' artificial hip once again triggered the metal detector and, once again, he had to endure the same invasive search. Only this time, he did not make any comments about scarves or hijabs.

Did Clyburn give Obama a 14th Amendment "right?"—(July 28, 2011)—Did former C.A. Brown High School teacher and sitting Congressman James Clyburn [D-SC} provide White House occupant Barack Obama with a constitutional loophole that will allow Obama to raise the debt ceiling without the need to get Congress' approval? Not only does Clyburn and Obama think so, which suggests that neither of them nor the liberal media has apparently ever read the 14th Amendment. It was, after all, only that "slave amendment" that came about at the end of the Civil War. It point of fact, it was not the "slave amendment." The slave amendment was one of the three 13th Amendments. The one that begins: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States..."

The 14th Amendment applies to the States the same rules which apply to the federal government. It is the longest Amendment. It has 5 sections. Section 1 deals with citizenship and the creation of the House of Representatives. Nothing about the President taking control of debt from the House of Representatives. Section 2 deals with the apportionment of representatives in the House, eliminating the 3/5th apportionment found in Article I, Section 2. Nothing about the President taking control of debt from the House of Representatives. Section 3 deals with the creation of the Senate and the role of the Vice President. Nothing here about the President taking control of debt from the House of Representatives, either. Section 4 deals with the validity of the public debt. Ah-hah! Here it is or is it not. The purpose of Section 4, while discussing the validity of properly authorized public debt—including pensions that Obama is now threatening not to pay—actually deals with debt the Jacobin Republicans were renouncing, That debt financed the South's war against the North.

Clyburn left a big chunk of Section 4 out when he "found" Obama's authority to bypass Congress and raise the debt ceiling. Clyburn's "discovery" was a few words with "..." deleting the balance of Section 4. Clyburn's authority stems from what we all recognize as liberal foreplay before the social progressives rape the rest of us. "The validity of the public debt of the United States...shall not be questioned," when in fact what it says is: "The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law..." (this means Congress) "...including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrections or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave, but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void." Section 5 gives Congress the power to enforce the Amendment through legislation. So why have so many people—particularly network media types with adequate research staffs to open up their own pocket copies of the Constitution—accepted this rubbish as fact? Because the leftwing media is in bed with Obama's goal of destroying this nation. Congressmen and Senators on both sides of the aisle who want the debt ceiling crisis to pass without staining them either as someone who voted for raising the debt ceiling, or voting against the debt ceiling being raised want a scapegoat to blame. Clyburn's illusionary debt ceiling right solves the problems of both of them—someone else is to blame. That's why Congressmen and Senators let presidents issue Executive Orders and treat them as though they are binding on Congress and on the American people when constitutionally they are interoffice memos from the boss of the Executive Branch to his employees.

Boehner says NO to Obama debt deal—(July 10, 2011)—House Speaker John Boehner rejected the smoke and mirrors debt ceiling sleight-of-hand chicanery proposed in a White House meeting on July 7. Boehner telephoned Barack Obama on Saturday, a day before a scheduled major White House meeting with the joint Democratic and Republican leadership of the House and Senate.

Obama proposed a cornucopia of ideas that will rub against the grain of conservatives and, if enacted, would likely end the careers of several of the 2010 freshmen members of Congress—and perhaps even Speaker Boehner. The White House believes that while some of the grand gratuities they're asking for to jumpstart the economy again—in particular raising the debt ceiling by a trillion dollars and adding $100 billion per year in new taxes—might be unpopular with the GOP, but thrown in with several concessions demanded by the Republicans (like putting Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare cuts on the table) the package might pass the House. If it passes the House, Republicans in the Senate who are traditionally more liberal than House conservatives, will pass it.

The major part of the Obama "concession" to the GOP (who demanded spending cuts equal to three times any new spending) was to put three trillion in spending cuts over the next decade on the table. The only problem with Obama's spending cuts is that much of them aren't spending cuts. Some of the "cuts" are from spending bills that have been proposed by the Left but have not yet been enacted. Some of them are spending measures in bills that were so radical that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid [D-NV] and then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi [D-CA] couldn't enact in the 111th Congress when they had a super majority. While they are still considered fresh veggies on the plate of the vegan left, their only value is as a negotiating chit.

While the left insists their deal is the Republicans best chance to roll back spending on social programs, the Republicans expected the Democratic spending cuts were supposed to come from existing programs that are already funded. Instead, it appears that much of the $2.4 trillion in spending cuts are coming from proposed spending measures and not enacted spending measures.

When word leaked from the Obama-Boehner meeting that Obama was putting entitlements on the table, House Minority Leader Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Reid kicked their opposition to Obama's decision into high gear. Pelosi made it clear that if Obama put Social Security or healthcare on the table, the left would vote against any measure that came up for a vote. Democrats always insist on having their cake and eating it, too—especially when the mainstream media can be counted on to blame their duplicity on the Republicans. After the Pelosi challenge, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor [R-VA] made it clear that "...[i]t just doesn't make sense for Americans to suffer under higher taxes in an economy like this. There is no way the House of Representatives will support a tax increase."

As he rejected the Obama compromise, Boehner said: "Despite good-faith efforts to find common ground, the White House will not pursue a bigger debt reduction agreement without tax hikes. I believe the best approach may be to focus on producing a smaller measure, based on the cuts identified in the Biden-led negotiations, that still meets our call for spending reforms and cuts greater than the amount of any debt limit increase." The far left jumped on Boehner's statement as their best chance to blame the GOP for killing Obama's deal. Sen. Chuck Schumer [D-NY], obfuscated the truth as only a social progressive can, when he said that Obama "...called the Republican's bluff by offering them exactly the type of grand bargain they said they wanted, only to have it rejected...Some on the Republican side would like to confuse the issue by pretending it was tax hikes on the middle class that they were trying to prevent, but none were ever on the table."

Schumer, of course, was lying—something most social progressives do with panache. Schumer suggested the GOP was simply "...defending tax breaks for millionaires and other special interest tax loopholes." However, among the new taxes in Obama's proposed trillion dollar tax hike will be the elimination of the mortgage interest deduction on everyone who owns a home and is paying a mortgage. It is, of course, primarily a middle class tax. If Obama manages to get the home mortgage interest deduction eliminated, every middle-income taxpayer will see a bigger tax bite. How much? Let's say you paid $6,554 in mortgage interest in 2008. Without that deduction, your taxes that year would have increased by $983. In 2008, had I not had the mortgage interest deduction, my federal taxes would have increased by $2,964. And, believe me when I say that my annual income is no where near Obama's $250,000 per tax payer threshold. This is the "rich man's" loophole that Obama is determined to close. Closing that "loophole" will generate about $170 billion in new tax revenue without the need to add new tax brackets or lower the income thresholds to increase the taxpayer's tax load.

In an honest 2012 vote, Obama loses—(May 25, 2011)—Since the Election of 2008 was the most corrupt, dishonest election in the history of the United States, it's already obvious there will be nothing different about the election of 2012 except Barack Hussein Obama's need to steal even more than 35 million votes to win this one. And, since there was not so much as a whimper of of outrage from the American people in 2008, I suspect there won't be a whole lot more protest to the theft this time around.

Since Ronald Reagan poised the question: "Are you better off today than you were four years ago?" that query has become the yardstick by which the success of all presidents' first terms are measured. So let me ask you—Are you better off today than you were four years ago? Let me answer that question. Unless you work for the government—or you are an Obama major donor—you are not.

The conservative pundits who understand, in honest elections, the answer to the "are you better off" question frames the vote, also understand that for Obama to honestly win reelection in 2012, he has to perform several herculean miracles before Labor Day, Sept.3, 2012. First, he needs to [1] undo about 5 million home foreclosures and keep any more from happening between today and Election Day, Tues., Nov. 6, 2012 because if you have lost your home in the last four years, you definitely are not better off today than you were on Jan. 20, 2009. Second, Obama needs to create about 15 million private sector jobs between now and Labor Day, 2012 and get the unemployment rate under 8%; and [3] Obama needs to cut our $14.3 trillion debt to less than $7 trillion since those are the promises he campaigned on in 2007 and 2008 when the Islamo-fascist community activist promised the masses he would change America. That he did. That is the one promise he kept. Obama has radically changed the face of the United States. We are no longer the most powerful economic force in the world. The value of the US dollar is about half of what it was two years ago. And, the nations of the world that used to view the United States with respect now view us with contempt. Obama has become Jimmy Carter.

Carter did not win reelection. He did, however, constitutionally win the White House from Gerald Ford in 1976, Which is more than we can say about Obama's "win" against 2008's designated loser, Sen. John McCain.

In early 2009 attorney Orly Taitz brought a Quo Warranto lawsuit against Barack Obama to force him to produce his long form birth certificate. A Quo Warranto lawsuit is used to force the defendent of an action to explain by what right, or what authority, they act. Taitz was asking by authority Obama assumed the power of the presidency, expecting to force Obama to produce his birth certificate as proof. Instead, Obama arrogantly posted the FEC election results on the White House website. Only, there was a glaring mistake on the FEC report which they would "correct" once I pointed it out on Nov. 28, 2009. The report displayed on the White House website, and the companion report on the Federal Election Commission website reported that there were 169 million registered voters in the Election of 2008. The percentage of registered voters who voted: 56.8%. The actual number of registered voters who voted: 96,992,000. Then came the interesting statistic: Total number of ballots counted: 132,618,580. The problem? 35,626,580 too many votes. When you deduct the excess votes (which appear to be from the get-out-the-vote activism of groups like MoveOn.org and A.CO.R.N.) we find that Obama lost the Election of 2008 by some 22 million votes. Yet, he resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC. The National Voters' Registration Act of 1993 (more commonly known as the Motor Voter Law), which was spearheaded without success by Frances Fox Piven and Richard Cloward in the 1980s, was rammed through the Democratically-Congress by then House Speaker Tom Foley [D-WA] and Senate majority Leader George Mitchell [D-ME] and signed into law by President Bill Clinton on May 20, 1993.

The legislation should have been called the National Vote Fraud Act because it virtually eliminated the check and balance system that required identity verification and voter eligibility. Over the last 15 years, as the left needed increasingly more votes to win, they erased the ability of voting precincts to verify voter eligibility by registering voters and allowing them to cast absentee ballots at the same time. The problem with that procedure was, when the voter was found to be ineligible (their name was wrong, or the voter was found to have a criminal tecord, or the address was nonexistent, etc.), the registration was nullified, and removed from the sytem. But the private, sealed vote which was already cast and deposited in a sealed ballot box, couldn't be withdrawn since it was now impossible to tell which vote the ineligible registrant had cast.

The only way to absolutely prevent Obama and his handlers from the pyramid of power from prevailing in the Election of 2012 is to repeal the National Voters' Registration Act of 1993 before the Election of 2012. Since Obama needs that legislation to be the law of the land to keep the keys to the White House, it's not likely he would sign any legislation to repeal it. Nor, for that matter, would such a bill ever make it through the US Senate.

The only way to keep rampant fraud from controlling the outcome of the Election of 2012 if for every State in the Union to enact two laws before February 1, 2012. First, enact laws that require scrupulous verification of the eligibility of candidates for federal office—House and Senate as well as the presidency. Had such a law existed in 2004, Obama would likely have never been elected to the US Senate, and thus he would not have had a springboard to launch his campaign for the White House. Second, requiring all voters to produce a photo identity to verify they are who they claim to be when they come to cast their vote. And third, mandate that all States confirm voter eligibility before newly registred voters are given absentee ballots. If it's too close to election day, the new voter will have to do what the rest of us do—stand in line at the polling place with photo ID and valid voter registration card in hand.

If the States don't act to protect the most sacred act its citizens perform, LaRaza, ACORN (under whatever name they are using then), and MoveOn.org will supply the 40 million non-citizen voters Obama will need in November, 2012 to keep the keys to the White House.

Gold hits new high...silver breaks $40—(April 12, 2011)—You don't need the gold and silver barometers to know the economy of the United States and Europe are in trouble when you see socialist financier George Soros holding his own Bretton Woods Conference and his own attempt to convince the world powers to dump "Obamabucks" as the world's reserve currency and replace it with a basket of currencies of his choosing. Those who watch the financial markets—both domestic and transnationally—are reaching the same conclusion. Its time to cut spending. It's time to cut government. And most of all, it's time to get government out of the private sector and, more important, it's time the private sector out of government. (What that means is making political campaign contributions illegal by criminalizing the practice.)

Those who earn their living in the financial markets have long looked at the bellwether factors which have long predicted the market moves that precipitated the financial tsunamis which sweep away the stock portfolios and IRAs of those who live in "la-la-land" and believe the good times rhetoric of the script readers of TV News. The uncertainty in the financial markets is not about whether the news is good or bad, but only "how bad is it?" We don't seem to know anymore only because we are no longer watching the precious metals bellwether as a bellwether. Instead, we are looking at it as an investment commodity like grain, oil, beef-on-the-hoof, or textiles and the warning signs that tell us the economy is going belly-up are seen only as "buy" and "sell' signals because the money barons on Wall & Broad Street in New York have convinced us there cannot be another "1929 Stock Market Crash" because we have weathered several market "corrections" in the last few years that dwarfed 1929, and the Market recovered in a few days and continued to flourish.

If we were watching the sudden downward spirals of the market and comparing them with the bellwether spikes in precious metals that are being blamed on geopolitical tension and not the inherent weaknesses of the financial markets themselves, we would be doing what the rich guys are doing—diverting a large portion of our personal investment portfolios (our 401Ks and Retirement IRAs into gold and silver. If you recall when the junk bond industry crashed, the biggest victims were working class investors who were still buying as the big money investors were quietly trading their stock portfolios into gold and silver. And, when the subprime and traditional mortgage investment business collapsed, it was working class stiffs who discovered they could not retire when their 401Ks were decimated.

If you are watching the bellwethers, they are talking to you right now. They are telling you to buy gold and silver. On Friday, April 8, gold reached a new high—$1,474.19 an ounce. Today it is at $1,463.00, but it is expected to break the gold sound barrier before the end of this month—the magic, elusive $1,500.00 per ounce rate. Silver broke the elusive $40.00 per troy ounce marker and, today, is sitting at $40.65 an ounce. What makes this most interesting is that, with past flurries, there was a limited inventory of gold and silver for consumers to buy. Which means consumers were buying at the same time as the professional investors. Now both the gold and silver markets have a surplus supply. The demand for silver is strong, fueled by investors rather than industrial use, which suggests the mom and pop investors who are apprehensively preparing for a currency collapse are buying with a degree of trepidation because of the cost as they hesitatingly invest with retiremenet nest egg money, worried that the price of gold and silver will buckle after they buy, leaving them with a negative investment and no money in their pocket and none in their 401Ks. And once again, the rich guy walks off with the working class stiff's money, widening the gap between the haves and the have nots.

I personally suspect those days are probably now gone. Fed watchers recognize that the latest round of quantitative easing in the money markets is about to end. The stagnating American economy will continue to flounder due to the overbuilt housing market and persistent unemployment (due to the exportation of America's industrial strength to the third world where tomorrow's consumers live), the dollar will continue to weaken and, with a lack of employed people in the work force, higher taxes are more likely than tax cuts to stimulate what economy we have left. That will be followed by the next round of socialist Rooseveltian missteps as dangerously-improverished taxpayers demand relief and a new round of Monopoly money stimulus programs are quickly debated and swiftly enacted by Congress. Regardless who ends up with the money, hyperinflation will no longer be a theoretical discussion. It will be the world's worst nightmare and $500 thousand per troy ounce silver and million dollar per ounce gold will be the reality. So, by the way, will gold and, very likely, silver, seizures. (To understand how seizures happen, and how much the government is required to pay for seized gold and silver coins, please refer to Survival Savings Plan and the planned redistribution of wealth. It is worth the read.)

US Senate holds hearing on Muslim rights—(March 24, 2011)—The House Committee on Homeland Security, chaired by Rep. Peter King [R-NY] held the first of what he said would be several hearings on the radicalization of Muslim Americans on Thursday, March 10. On March 7, King was criticized by the Left and accused of being Islamophobic, and unfairly targeting an entire religious community. King responded on Fox & Friends that his goal in holding the hearings was to "...show the extent of radicalization within the Muslim community; how dangerous that is, how serious that is, and also how it happens and whether or not the Muslim community responds to that. And whether or not the cooperate with law enforcement ." King went to say the witnesses he planned to call would show that this is a real threat, a growing threat, and he added, "It's not just me saying this, it's the Attorney General Eric Holder who says he can't sleep at night because of the growing amount of radicalization among young Muslim American men. Janet Napolitano says its threat level is as high as its been since September 11." King ended by saying that was the reason he was going ahead with the hearings.

On Sunday, March 6, a protest rally was launched in Times Square to denounce King and his hearings for singling out Muslims—they said—instead of extremists. The orchestraters of the rally were Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf (one of the World Trade Center Mosque promoters) and Hip-Hopster Russell Simmons. The group protesting King's hearing was the Committee on American-Islamic Relations [CAIR] and, in his Fox News interview, King said, "The media constantly quotes CAIR as though they were the Knights of Columbus, B'Nai Brith, or the Masons, but the fact is CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a major terrorist funding case."

When King's hearings were announced, the Obama Administration jumped into the media spotlight in an attempt to [a] show they did not support King's hearings, and [b] that they believed that while King was planning to demonize Muslims, the Administration planned to continue defending them. On Sunday, March 6, Deputy National Security Director Denis McDonough spoke at a mosque in Virginia, saying "...we must resolve that in our determination to protect the nation we will not stigmatize or demonize an entire community because of the actions of a few. And in the United States of America we don't practice guilt by association. And, let's remember that just as violence and extremism are not unique to any one faith, the responsibility to oppose ignorance and violence rests with each of us."

Because the media construed the King hearings to be politically incorrect, the mainstream TV news largely chose to ignore them. The Washington Times, not the Washington Post, took the lead in reporting on the hearing

To counter King's Homeland Security hearings, the Democratic majority in the US Senate announced on Tuesday, March 22 that they would hold hearings to examine the civil rights of Muslims and, one imagines, whether or not Congressman King is trampling them with his politically-incorrect hearings. Senate Majority Leader Richard Durbin [D-IL] announced that when Congress returns from its 10-day vacation—which ironically began the day before Barack Obama committed American military forces to an undeclared state of war with Libya with the advise and consent of Congress.

In a press release on Friday, March 18, Sen. Durbin said: "Our Constitution protects the free enterprise of religion for all Americans. During the course of our history, many religions have faced intolerance. It is important for our generation to renew our founding charter's commitment to religious diversity and to protect the liberties guaranteed by our Bill of Rights."

Durbin's hearings will be the first ever held under the Senate Judiciary Committee's new subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights which the Democratic majority created this year. (Sounds like a United Nations committee.) I wonder if that means the Democrats are finally going to read the Constitution?

It should be noted that the Washington Times recently reported that, in 2009 (the last FBI statistics available), anti-Islamic "hate crimes" accounted for 9.3% of the 1,376 religiously-motivated crimes—far less than the 70.1% that were anti-Jewish.

Walker issues ultimatum...Democrats snub him—(March 2, 2011)—On Feb. 28, Wisconsin's Republican governor, Scott Walker, issued an ultimatum to the 14 Democratic State Senators who are still hiding out in Illinois to keep from having to vote on the State budget which includes a provision that will gut collective bargaining rights in the State. "Failure to return to work and cast their votes," Walker said in his well-phrased ultimatum, "will lead to more painful and aggressive spending cuts in the very new future. This is the Senate Democrats; 24-hour notice." On March 2, Walker released his new budget that will cut $1.5 billion from the school and state government budgets. The budget cuts 1,200 State jobs. According to Walker, "...this is a reform budget. It is about getting Wisconsin working again. To make that happen, we need a balanced budget that works—and an environment where the private sector can create 250 thousand jobs over the next four years." As Walker addressed the Assembly, union protestors heckled him by screaming, banging on drums and blowing horns.

With the Wisconsin political stand-off entering it's 13th day, Walker believed—or rather, hoped—that the truant Senate Democrats would return to the State in time to vote on the restructuring of the State's $165 million debt payment that is due on May 1, 2011. They did not.

To meet that obligation, the State's budget-overhaul bill needed to be enacted no later than Feb. 25 since, according to the nonpartisan Wisconsin Legislative Fiscal Bureau, because the issuing of new bonds takes at least two weeks. And, to meet all other deadlines, the restructuring needed to be complete by the March 16 deadline. Restructuring that debt would have added $42 million in interest payments to the current debt load over the next decade. It is unclear now how the State solves that problem.

The 14 Democratic State Senators fled the State on Feb. 17, refusing to return to Madison until the Republican majority stripped the collective bargaining provision from the bill. With Walker promising to arrest any of the truant State Senators if they returned to Wisconsin, the Republican leader of the State Senate, Scott Fitzgerald, revealed on Tuesday, March 1, that he met secretly with a couple of the 14 missing State lawmakers in Racine for a two hour meeting. Minority Leader Sen. Mark Miller was not among the attendees. Sen. Fred Risser acknowledged the meeting to the Racine Journal Times, noting that he was not there, but he understand that "a couple" of Democrats showed up. What appears to have brought them out of hiding under a flag of truce was Walker's announced deep cuts in funds to schools and local governments to the tune of about $1 billion. In the past, the Democratically-controlled Wisconsin legislature simply pushed the problem off on some future State legislature by borrowing more money and paying millions of dollars in interest to avoid dealing with the unpopular issues that created the problem Wisconsin now faces

Walker's budget reconciliation, according to the Huffington Post, will reduce the money available to Wisconsin's 424 school districts by about 7%—about $600 million—and will trigger pink slips. Even before the Walker's cuts were rolled out, the Darien-Delavan School District (where Walker's alma mater, Delavan Darien High School is located) issued pink skips to 41 teachers on Feb. 24. (Under Wisconsin law, the deadline for school districts to provide final notices of non-renewal of teachers' contracts is March 15. The terminations can be rescinded after that date, but no new terminations for the 2011-2012 school year can be made after March 15.)

In Providence, Rhode Island, Mayor Angel Traveras sent termination notices to every teacher in the public school system on Feb. 24, creating a wave of anxiety in the nearly 2,000 teachers who were technically "fired." The teachers will continue to work throughout the school year. Those whose firings are not rescinded will have no job in September. Union officials accused Traveras of "anti-union maneuvering. In a standing room only city council meeting on Thursday, Feb. 24, the city's school committee voted 4 to 3 to back the Mayor's decision to send out the termination notices.

The pink slip tsunami is spreading across the country. The Elk Grove United School District in Elk Grove, California will pass out 970 pink slips to teachers, counselors, librarians and other school staff despite a triple-digit protest turnout at the Feb. 21, 2011 school board meeting. Again, as in Providence, the school district has to send non-renewal notices out by March 15 or forego terminations for the next school years. So, like Providence, Elk Grove terminated everyone. San Francisco did the same. Only, in their case, the School Board selectively picked slightly over 400 school employees. Again, with the March 15 filing deadline, none of the teachers and/or staff who received the non-renewal notices will actually know the fate of their jobs for months.

Washington Getting in the Way of Jobs—(Feb. 8, 2011)—It is refreshing when an honest man speaks in Washington. It's so rare, in fact, that the media more often than not ignores what he says because his words seldom sell newspapers. Too bad. But then, in the nation's capital, lies always sell better than the truth. Take Congressman Jim Jordan's [R-OH] Republican Study Committee press release this morning. I didn't hear ABC, CBS, or NBC mention what he said about government spending and job growth. But then, since it tears at the root of the trite myth that government spending creates jobs, I can see why. What I don't understand is why FOX News didn't quote him.

Since they didn't, let me—since I agree with what he said. "If massive government spending truly solved the problem of unemployment," he said, "our economy would be booming. But, nearly two years after...Obama signed his massive stimulus package into law, millions of Americans are still struggling to find work. More spending," he added, "isn't the answer; it's actually part of the problem. Massive deficit (three straight years of $1.3 trillion or more) erode confidence in the private sector and create expectations of higher taxes down the road. Between reckless spending and regulations that cost many small businesses an average of $10,585.00 per employee every year, Washington is quite simply getting in the way of economic growth."

Since Jan. 5 the empowered House GOP has been trying to push the disenfranchised Democrats out of the way so they can start reversing decisions made by the Obama fiat dictatorship enforced by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi [D-CA] and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid [D-NV]. The first thing they did—with four Democratic crossover votes—was repeal Obamacare in the House. (The Senate voted along party lines to defeat the measure—47 Republicans votes to repeal it and 51 Democrats (Joe Lieberman [I-CT] and Mark Warner [D-VA] abstaining voted to uphold it.)

Next, the House is taking a hard look at the impact that federal regulations have on the creation and sustainability of jobs in our troubled economy. All of this is well and good. Eliminating the expensive red tape that kills jobs. Good. Voting to cut Congress' budget and freeze spending. Very good. Taking the first leg of the journey to repeal Obamcare. Excellent. But somewhere in that good stuff the devil in me was hoping there would be just a little impish political revenge. Nothing really mean-spirited—just a fitting gotcha! Whatever the GOP does or does not do with its newfound power, do not—I repeat—do not force Democrats to wait until the regular sessions are over and have to speak their objections to Republican legislative ideas to an empty chamber with the C-Span cameras rolling. Nothing makes a worthless politician appear to be worth something more than massive TV exposure.

Since 2007 the House Democrats, who did not need a single Republican vote to enact any piece of legislation they wanted, saw no need for Democrats to have to listen to Republicans bellyache about legislation they could not affect, blocked Republicans from being recognized by the chair during the regular session, and forced them to enter their comments in the Congressional Record after the sessions ended.

In 1980 an upcoming political upstart named Newt Gingrich—and his followers, a group of Republican insurgents known as the Conservative Opportunity Society—quickly learned how to use the Democratic weapon against them. Speaking to an empty chamber (but with the C-Span video tape rolling), Gingrich and the Young Turks would promote their positions on a variety of issues, building their own ID brands with the voters. Smart. Particularly since Gingrich parlayed his new identity to the Speakership. In 1984, then House Speaker Thomas "Tip O'Neill figured out the game plan of the Young Turks. To make them look inept, O'Neill ordered the cable TV cameras to continually pan the House Chamber to show the audience that Gingrich and/or any of the Young Turks was speaking to an empty House chamber

So when Pelosi became Speaker in 2007, she unwisely ignored the benefit of allowing Republicans to rant to a TV camera that generated miles of YouTube footage, and made Republicans deliver their rebuttals to that same empty House chamber. By this time, the Republicans didn't bother to pretend there was anyone listening in the chamber. They were all talking to a C=Span audience and, more important, the YouTube audience. If Speaker of the House John Boehner [R-OH] is as smart as I think he is, he won't give the loyal opposition a crack at the YouTube audience—even though, I suspect the only place they would be aired will be the Huffington Post or as audio clips on Air America.

GOP unveils Spending Reduction Act—(Jan. 29, 2011)—House Republicans, keeping their pledge to repeal all remaining unspent stimulus dollars and to reduce all non-military spending by the 112th Congress, introduced the Spending Reduction Act of 2011. The Spending Reduction Act will roll non-security discretionary spending back to 2008 levels (pre-Obama) and non-defense discretionary spending to 2006 levels (pre-Pelosi). The Spending Reduction Act of 2011 calls for a decade-long "hard" spending freeze through 2021. (Which is why, during his State of the Union address on Jan. 25, Barack Hussein Obama mentioned a self-imposed "soft" spending freeze of an indeterminate time frame that sounds good to voters who stupidly believe that the ultra-far left social progressive who occupies the Oval Office actually moved to the center). Obama needed to short-circuit the GOP spending freeze timeline. What better way to do that than to beat the Republicans to the punch and publicly mandate one so he can claim credit for their's if they somehow get anything that resembles their bill out of GOP Black Hole in the US Senate?

Third term Congressman Jim Jordan [R-OH], the new head of the Republican Study Committee, noted the national debt is now sitting at over $14 trillion and H.R. 408, the Spending Reduction Act of 2011 is a $2.5 trillion head start in the race to reduce that debtload on the next ten generations of Americans. Jordan noted that if Congress does not act now to curb spending, the national debt by itself will spark a new financial crisis. "In my time in public life," Jordan said, "I have never seen the American people more receptive, more ready for the tough-love measures that need to be taken to help this country. The American people get it," Jordan observed. "The real challenge for elected officials in this Congress, at this point in history, is to live up to the standard the American people have displayed over the last year and a half."

Since Barack Obama traded his US Senate seat for the pomp and prestige of an overstuffed leather swivel chair in the Oval Office, he has added $5.4 trillion to the national debt. To put that in perspective, it took the US government from 1789 to 2007 for the national debt to climb to $8.6 trillion. The Obama-Pelosi-Reid spending trifecta added $5.4 trillion to the debt—something that should have taken about a hundred years with a reasonably responsible Congress. And the social progressive trifecta did it in four short years. Given free rein to empty your pockets and spend your great grandchildren's legacy, and if the taxpayer drain continues at its current rate, the national debt will stand at $16.5 trillion when a President is inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2013. Should the Democrats steal back the House of Representatives and the retain the White House, the national debt would stand at $22.5 trillion on Jan. 20, 2017. And, this is not taking Obamacare into consideration. Obamacare will add another $250 to $400 billion per year to the debt. Social Progressive spending is unsustainable. Period. Anyway you look at it, that means raising the debt ceiling at least twice before the social progressive nightmare finally ends in 2017, or until the American people get tired of being financially raped and fire the rapists in 2012.

Congressman Scott Garrett [R-NJ], who along with Jordan and Sen. Jim Demint [R-SC] who proffered the Spending Reduction Act of 2011, noted that the legislation would "...accomplish what the American public wants us to do, and that is reduce spending. Principally, we hit on three—about three or four—different points. The three major ones are mandatory spending, emergency spending, but primarily, it's in the area of discretionary spending.."

The bill, when and if it becomes law, will return spending to its 2006 levels (pre-Pelosi) with the spending regression kicking in on January 1, 2012. Spending would remain frozen for ten years. At that time the law would begin to shrink the size and cost of the civilian work force of the US Government not through layoffs, but through attrition. As federal employees quit, retire or die, their jobs will simply no longer exist. It is the most painless way to downsize the federal government—with the Service Employees International Union [SEIU] and the American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO being the only losers. Which, of course, makes it a win-win for everyone else since currently, federal employees illegally spend some 2.9 million official work hours—on the clock—engaged in some forms of union activities at a cost to the taxpayers of approximately $120 million per year. While most people don't think of it in this light, SEIU and AFGE are running private businesses inside the US government on our dime. As America prepares to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Ronald Wilson Reagan's birth on Feb. 6, 2011, the 40th President of the United States, who fired America's air traffic controllers when 13,000 striking Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization [PATCO] members walked off the job on Aug. 3, 1981. When Reagan ordered them back to work, only 1,300 did so. Reagan gave the striking air traffic controllers 48-hours to return to work. Those who did not were fired.

PATCO was decertified on Oct. 22, 1981. Both SEIU and AFGE need to be decertified as well. There could be no more fitting tribute to Ronald Reagan than to celebrate his 100th Anniversary by restoring a semblance of sanity to Pennsylvania Avenue by decertifying both SEIU and AFGE because goverment employees work for the taxpayers of the United States—or better stated, for 138,950,000 "mom and pop" home-based employers who are exempt from unionization.

Senate convicts federal judge—(Dec. 9, 2010)—On Wednesday, Dec. 8, 2010 the US Senate removed US District Court Judge G. Thomas Porteous from his seat on the US District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. The House of Representatives unanimously impeached him on March 11, 2010. The impeachment trial in the Senate commenced on March 17. Porteous, a Bill Clinton appointee, is barred from holding any office or honor, or to profit from any government position

Porteous was the Special Counsel to the Louisiana State Attorney General from 1971 to 1973, and Chief of the Felony Complaint Division of the Jefferson Parish District Attorney's office from 1973 to 1975. He was in private practice from 1975 to 1984. From 1982 to 1984 he also served as City Attorney of Harahan, Louisiana. Porteous served as a judge in the 24th Judicial District Court of Louisiana from 1984 to 1994. Clinton appointed him to the federal bench on Aug. 25, 1994. Porteous was confirmed by the Senate on Oct. 7, 1994.

Porteous was a controversial judge almost from his appointment. In a landmark 1999 decision, Porteous overturned a Louisiana law that banned late term dilation and extraction abortions (in which live fetuses or fetuses burned to death in a saline solution are then hacked to pieces and extracted from the mother piecemeal). In 2002, in a direct assault on the President George W. Bush's Faith-Based Initiative in which taxpayer dollars were given to Christian-based soup kitchens and other church-linked community outreach programs, Porteous ruled that when federal money was used to promote a sex-abstinence program they are promoting a religion. Porteous ordered the State of Louisiana to stop giving tax dollars to individuals or organizations that convey religious messages or otherwise advantage Christianity with tax dollars. Also in 2002, Porteous overturned a drug paraphernalia law that outlawed the easy-access sale of things like glowsticks, dust masks and pacifiers that were commonly used to ingest such recreational drugs as Ecstasy.

His financial troubles and questionable ethics questions began to surface in 2001 when Porteous filed for bankruptcy—under a phony name. Porteous' problems, however, stemmed from a decades old drinking and gambling problem that were concealed by the then State court judge during his Senate confirmation hearings. Among the charges leveled against him was that of lying to Congress during his appointment hearing. Because of an extravagant lifestyle that he could not afford on a judge's salary, Porteous purportedly began accepting cash and other favors from attorneys and bail bondsmen before his court. It was also alleged that he accepted cash, or gambling debt cancellations from those who profited from his vices.

The Judicial Conference that brought the charges against Porteous presented their affidavit which alleged there was substantial evidence that Porteous "...repeatedly committed perjury by signing false disclosures under oath, thus concealing 'cash and things of value' that he solicited or received from lawyers appearing in litigation before him. In one specific case," the report stated, "he denied a motion to recuse himself from a case based on his relationship with lawyers in the case...and failed to disclose that the lawyers in question often provided him with cash. Thereafter, while a bench verdict was pending, he solicited and received from the lawyers appearing before him, illegal gratuities in the form of cash and other things of value, thus depriving the public of its right to his honest services."

As they impeached him, House prosecutors said that evidence showed a decades-long pattern of corruption. They advised the Senate that leaving Judge Porteous on the bench would erode public confidence in the courts, and make a mockery of the federal judiciary. After nine months of deliberation, the Senate met in closed session for more than two hours on Tuesday, Dec. 7 and deliberated Porteous' fate. In the end, the far-left controlled Senate made its decision to expel one of their own. In a solemn, ceremonial vote on Wednesday, one by one, every Senator rose to his feet at their desks and voted "guilty" or "not guilty."

US District Court Judge G. Thomas Porteous was the first judge removed from the bench since 1989 when two federal judges—US District Court Judge Walter Nixon of Mississippi and US District Court Judge Alcee Hastings (now Congressman Alcee Hastings [D-FL]) were removed from the bench. Nixon was impeached for perjury when he lied about his role in the drug prosecution of Drew Fairchild, the son of a business partner of Nixon's, Wiley Fairchild. (While the Fairchild case was being held in a State court, Wiley Fairchild asked Nixon to speak to the prosecutor of that case about his son. Nixon did. The prosecutor dropped the case. Nixon was appointed to the federal bench by Lyndon Johnson.)

Hastings, on the other hand, was removed from the bench for accepting a $150 thousand bribe to hand out a lenient sentence to Frank and Thomas Romano who were charged with 21 counts of racketeering. (Hastings was appointed to the federal bench by Jimmy Carter.) The State of Florida, which seemed to object to crooked judges, apparently like crooked politicians. The logic is based, I guess, on the adage that a crooked judge steals for a himself and a crooked politician steals for his constituents. And, Lord knows, Democrats do like experienced thieves representing them in Congress. But, there is apparently one life lesson the people of Florida, and elsewhere where voters allow crooked politicians to stay in office, have forgotten. A politician who will steal FOR you will just as quickly steal FROM you.

Federal Judge rules against Thomas More

Law Center's anti-Obamacare lawsuit—(Oct. 10, 2010)—On Thursday, Oct. 7, 2010 a federal judge in Detroit ruled against a lawsuit filed by the Thomas More Law Center of Ann Arbor on behalf of four individuals who do not have private health insurance and object to being forced to buy it from the federal government. The Thomas More Law Center argued in their filing that the federal government does not possess the constitutional authority to impose legilslative edicts under the Commerce Clause. In point of fact, there is no "Commerce Clause." It does not exist. It never did. Do you have a pocket copy of the Constitution? If you do, now is a good time to read it. Begin with Article I. Read it. Find a clause delegating authority to anyone that says the central government has "implied powers "to regulate commerce." Now, don't cheat by checking out the views of the left on where they think this power is.

The text that constitutionally divvies up the power in the central government is found only in Articles I, II, and III. No where else. Particularly not in the preamble, which contains neither enumerated or implied anything. The preamble is nothing more than a nonspecific statement of purpose. Federalist Alexander Hamilton, one of the Founding Fathers, was among those who wanted to create a strong central government with the authority to control its creator—the States. Hamilton convinced his colleagues that the Constitution needed a preamble to explain to the world its purpose. Hamilton hoped (and reasonably expected) that future generations of US politicians would convert the introductive preamble into an implied rights it does not possess since the authority of the federal government was too limited for it to assume authority over the States.

Article I, sections 1 through 10 delegates responsibilities and authority to Congress. Congress does not have the constitutional authority to grant itself power not given to it by the Constitution. Its powers are enumerated. Article II, sections 1 through 4 delegates the only authority to the Executive Branch possesses. In fact, the 10th Amendment specifically denies it the right to add to its authority. As you read Article II you will see how limited the power of the Presidency is constitutionally. The Executive Branch does not have the constitutional authority to grant itself power. Authority not specifically enumerated to Congress and to the Executive Branch is specifically denied them. In other words, those powers belong exclusively to the States—and to the People. Period. The Constitution is not an evolving document that social progressives can "update" to fit their totalitarian wishlist.

Any federal judge that does not know that, needs to be impeached and removed from the bench. On Oct. 7 US District Court Judge George Caram Steeh for the Eastern District of Michigan rejected the attempts by the Thomas More Law Center of Ann Arbor to kill key provisions of Barack Obama's socialized medicine scheme by upholding a provision in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 which mandates that everyone to have health insurance—or be fined the approximate cost of coverage. The Thomas More Law Center attempted to undo that specific mandate (which shows conclusively that Obama is not interesting in protecting people, only robbing what little wealth they have left). Steeh dismissed their action by ruling that the mandate to get insurance by 2014 was legal, and the financial penalty that would be assessed by the government (a new form of illegal taxation that violates the Constitution by singling out one segment of the public and levying a special, punitive tax against them) was also constitutional. Steeh should have known better than that. Since he doesn't, he does not belong on the bench. Congress needs to impeach him and remove him from office.

Judge Steeh, if you recall (SHORT TAKES, July 29, 2010) the former president of the Arab-American Bar Association, dismissed a lawsuit filed by a African-American Christian grad student, Julea Ward, against Eastern Michigan University [EMU] for discriminating against her because, acting as a student counselor, she refused to affirm that homosexual behavior was normal. Ward asked her faculty supervisor if she could refer a homosexual client to another counselor because of her religious views. She was told she would have to undergo a "remedial reeducation program" in order to remain at EMU. When she declined, she was told that because her conduct violated the American Counseling Association Code of Ethics, they were justified in expelling her from the program. In Steeh's view, Christians who express explicit Christian views and tenets under a host of different scenarios can be discriminated against. Judges who do not understand the Bill of Rights, or feel they have the authority to abridge the Constitution with a judicial eraser, need to be impeached and removed from office.

In his ruling in the Thomas More action, Judge Steeh said: "Without the minimum coverage provision, there would be an incentive for some individuals to wait to purchase health insurance until they needed care, knowing that insurance would be available at all times. As a result, the most costly individuals would be in the insurance system and the least costly would be outside it. In turn, this would aggravate current problems with cost-shifting and lead to even higher premiums." Steeh concluded his argument by saying, "Without a minimum coverage provision, there would be an incentive for individuals to wait to purchase health insurance until they needed care, knowing that insurance would be available at all times...This would aggravate current problems with cost-shifting and lead to even higher premiums." The Washington Post reported that federal workers will be getting between an 8.9% and 10.5% premium hike next year.

While Steeh's views in contemplating his decision in the Thomas More case might have been true on their face, and imperative for the Obama Administration to force all people into the social progressive healthcare system, the Administration's "legal" argument before Judge Steeh was not a legal argument at all. It was the reiteration of a social progressive mandate based not on constitutional health "needs" but political control "needs." Steeh should have known the difference. That's what Article III of the Constitution says judges are supposed to do. Adjudicate cases of law and equity based exclusively on the precepts of the Constitution, not political correctness. In doing so, Steeh's job was to protect the Constitution, not Obama's agenda. Interestingly, cases like this one in which the United States or a State is involved in an action with a State or several States—or individuals—the US Supreme Court is supposed to be the court of original jurisdiction (Article III, Section 2, paragraph 2). In all other matters the Supreme Court has appellate jurisdiction (ibid).

Twenty States and the National Federation of Independent Businesses have sued the Obama Administration over the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, arguing that the law is unconstitutional, and that it will force States to absorb higher, not lower, Medicaid costs. The problem is that those cases are all being adjudicated by one federal judge in Florida who does not have jurisdiction over most of the States which filed. This is a case where the federal government, which has a vested interest in making all of these casees go away, has joined them together and placed them under the jurisdiction of US District Court Judge David Rivkin of the US District Court for the Northern District of Florida where Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum filed his suit. Rivkin was appointed by Ronald Reagan. But, the States who joined McCollum erred. Their citizens would have fared better if they had filed their suits within their own jurisdictions rather than 21 plaintiffs pinning their hopes on one judge in Florida. Adding more plaintiffs does not make the case stronger. It makes it easier for the Obama Administration to deal with them at one turkey shoot. Judge Rivkin is expected to determine by Oct. 14 if he will allow the case, or parts of it, to go to trial. The State of Virginia filed a separate action in federal court in Richmond.

In the Thomas More case, lead attorney Robert Muise said the Christian Rights organization planned to appeal Steeh's decision to the US Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit in Cincinnati.

Obama Justice Department joins the fray

in Murfreesboro, TN—on the side of Islam. (Transferred from Behind The Headlines on Sept. 20, 2010)—In the shadows of the Election of 2010, the Obama White House is scrambling for votes—any votes. And, convinced he's about to lose Bible Belt Tennessee to the Republicans, it appears as though the White House figures it will take whatever stragglers from Tennessee the Democrats can get. Barack Obama's going after the melting pot vote: the social progressives, the ethnic and cultural minorities, the union crowd and the Islamic vote in Tennessee by backing the backers of the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro. On Mon., Oct. 18, 2010 federal attorneys jumped into the middle of what has become a major brouhaha in Rutherford County. In fact, the brouhaha was caused by US Attorney Jerry E. Martin of Nashville who told the Nashville Tennessean that his office would not sit quietly by while opponents to the Murfreesboro mosque raised questions about the nature of Islam and, Martin said, whether or not Islam is a recognized religion. (Martin was appointed US Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee by Obama on March 25, 2010. Obama, as we all know, is a champion of religious liberty in the United States providing those religious freedom rights are based on Liberation Theology or Islam. Martin's claim to fame before his appointment as a US Attorney? He was a major fund-raiser for Obama in 2008. Aren't you glad we have such qualified people serving the American people?)

Thomas Perez, Assistant US Attorney General and head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division told reporters on Tuesday that the DOJ's decision to file an amicus brief to support the Murfreesboro mosque (which has already violated Tennessean health laws), was done to affirm Islam's right as a religion. Perez noted that it was "...an action to defend a very, very important principal that this nation has fought for, which is the principle of religious liberty." It is amazing how the social progressives can wave the flag of religious liberty and expound the virtues of the 1st Amendment except to protect Christianity and Christian values in America. Perez, like all of his political bosses in the Justice Department and the Executive Branch of government, is a hypocrite since under our increasingly totalitarian judicial system, religious liberty applies to all religions except Christianity and, increasingly, Judaism. Perez reiterated "...the Attorney General's very strong commitment to use every tool in the Department's law enforcement arsenal to route out intolerance." The federal courts, up to and including the United States Supreme Court no longer reads nor applies the Bill of Rights when it considers the 1st Amendment. Instead, the federal courts have erased the 1st Amendment and replaced it with Articles 13 and 14 of the UN Covenant on Human Rights. No longer is there a presumption of an inalienable right to worship God as we please even though the 1st Amendment clearly prohibits government from restricting our right to worship God wherever and whenever we please. Under the Covenant on Human Rights, government has the right to restrict religious liberty to whomever they wish and grant that precious gift to whomever they favor. That's how a political-theological system can be granted protection under the 1st Amendment and Christianity is denied that same protection.

The Obama-Holder Justice Department will do what it can to make it appear that what is going on in Murfreesboro is pure racism rather than a political debate. Which, of course, is the reason the DOJ Civil Rights Division is weighing in with allegations of racism and anti-religious bias.

But, when you talk to Kevin Fisher, a Murfreesboro corrections officer, a Republican running for the school board, and most of all, a Black American leading the fight to stop the mosque, he will be the first to tell you that "...this has nothing to do with racism or racial intolerance. It's about a difference of opinion. In America, that's okay. Religion. Race. These are just code words used to distract people from the real issues. If Home Depot was burying bodies in the water supply, I would be equally concerned." (The reference to burying a body in the water supply stemmed from the Islamic Center burying a body on their recently purchased property—without his body being embalmed, or without being placed in a casket.. The act was done without a State permit and before a death certificate for the deceased was even issued. The body was buried in May and the death certificate was not issued until October, long after the battle for Murfreesboro had began.)

While the lawsuit filed by the Murfreesboro mosque opponents questions the right of the Muslims, under the 1st Amendment, to build the mosque, their argument is not that Islam is not a "recognized" religion, but that it is also a recognized political system that is not entitled to 1st Amendment protection. So, just as it would be hard to deny that Islam is a religion, it is equally as hard to ignore the fact that Islam is the most feared political system in the world—much more feared that communism as the height of the Soviet threat in the 1960s. Furthermore, Tennesseans are concerned that Muslims in western Tennessee will use their enhanced position to advocate for Shai'ra Law and for Shai'ra courts in that State and across the nation.

Martin filed a "friend of the court" brief on behalf of the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro in the wake of the bitter, national debate in New York over the Cordoba House Mosque, better known as the Ground Zero Mosque in lower Manhattan. While those fighting the mosque argue in a new lawsuit filed against officials in Rutherford County that the county violated their own "open meeting" law in how they granted the building permits without fair and open debate on the issue.

In another lawsuit filed by Murfreesboro lawyer Joe Brandon, Jr., opponents are attempting to block the county's attempt to force the citizens to pay for their elected officials deception in approving the site for the Islamic Center. Further, the suit argues that county officials "acted knowingly, willfully, maliciously and with oppression and reckless and callous disregard to protect the citizens of Rutherford County..." by allowing the property to be used as a cemetery, educational-cultural teaching center (i.e., cultural brainwashing), and a Shar'ia teaching and interpretation center without requiring a new zoning classification. Brandon's suit was scheduled for a hearing on October 20.

Earlier testimony from former Assistant Secretary of Defense Frank Gaffney outlined the dangers of Shar'ia law based on the advocacy of the Muslim Brotherhood in a report entitled "Team B." The Muslim Brotherhood which is involved in the construction of the Ground Zero Mosque in Manhattan. The "Team B" Report is a 1991 strategy paper for the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan) that was found by the FBI in a raid on a Virginia home with the arrest of an indicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terrorist-funding case. The report describes the group's goals in the United States.

"The Ikhwan (Arabic for Muslim Brotherhood) must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions." Brandon noted that the principle conclusion of the report is that "Shar'ia" is an enemy threat to the United States because it is a totalitarian political ideology—its seditious purpose is the replacing of the US government with a Caliphate that must be differentiated from the religious practices of peaceable and law-abiding Muslims. The second finding, according to Brandon, is that Shar'ia obligates its followers to engage in "jihad" to the extent that it involves violence as we saw on 9/11. It can, he concluded, involve mass murder and great destruction.

In his testimony, Gaffney identified Ayman al-Zawahiri, the number two al-Qaeda leader to Osama bin Laden and Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the captured mastermind of 9/11 as trained members of the Muslim Brotherhood. Which is the basis for the argument of the Islamic Center's opponents that the center does not meet the standards set for its designation as a religious meeting place. Gaffney's testimony raises the specter of whether the mosque should be afforded protection under the 1st Amendment , and protection under the Religious Land Use and Act of 2000 that was enacted to protect the right of citizens to build churches within their communities without fear of discrimination from city or county governments. The Justice Department, of course, has flipflopped the law and is applying it against the people of Murfreesboro who bitterly oppose the construction of what they view as a political threat to their own religious liberty.

Sweden seeks WikiLeaks founder

Julian Assange for questioning in

molestation case (Transferred from Behind The Headlines on Sept. 15, 2010)—Swedish authorities announced on Friday, August 20, 2010 they are seeking WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange as a suspect in a molestation and possible rape case in Stockholm. Authorities issued a warrant for his arrest for rape on Friday, and then withdrew it on Saturday. The allegations of rape were first reported by the Swedish tabloid Expressions. When the story hit the paper, Assange responded to the allegations on WikiLeaks' Twitter page, stating the accusations were linked to his release of 77 thousand US military documents. Among them was a cache of records that revealed the names of hundreds of Afghan citizens who helped the Americans and their allies pinpoint Taliban and al Qaeda strongholds and capture Muslim extremist leaders in that country.

On Saturday, less than a day after issuing the warrant, Swedish authorities said the rape charge resulted from an unfounded allegation of rape. Police still want to question Assange about one other case involving the suspicions of rape and one accusation of sexual molestation. When she withdrew the rape warrant, Chief Prosecutor Eva Finne told the media she didn't "...think there is reason to suspect that he has committed rape." She did not address the status of the molestation allegation, which is a less serious charge that would not lead to an arrest warrant.

On his Twitter page, Assange wrote that "...[t]he charges are without basis and their issue at this moment is deeply disturbing." Assange implied that the accusations were part of a dirty trick campaign against the WikiLeaks founder who has been strongly criticized by the Pentagon and by Barack Obama. "We were warned to expect dirty tricks. Now we have the first one...Expression is a tabloid. No one here has been contacted by Swedish police. Needless to say, this will prove hugely distracting."

Fearing that fellow traveler and White House resident Barack Obama was planning to have him extradited to the United States where he could be charged with revealing top secret US military documents, the 39-year old convicted Australian computer hacker, Assange, went to Sweden last week (where a couple of his WikiLeaks servers are located) to apply for a publishing certificate in Stockholm in order to take advantage of the laws in Sweden that protect whistleblowers.

When queried by the media on Friday when the rape charge was initially filed, Karin Rosander, a spokesperson for the Swedish Prosecution Authority confirmed that Assange is suspected of at least one count of rape and one charge of sexual molestation.

Assange, now 39, was born in Townsville, Queensland in 1971. His parents met at an anti-Vietnam War demonstration. His mother was so anti-establishment that she did not want her son to go to school believing it would instill an unhealthy respect for authority in her son. During his childhood he attended 37 different schools because his mother, who worked for a touring theater group, traveled throughout Australia during his growing years. Today, he lives the same nomadic life of his youth. He has no permanent, nor even temporary, address he calls his own. His personal possessions include a laptop computer and a rucksack of belongings. Assange lives on the hospitality of fellow travelers—social progressives around the world—who put him up for brief periods of time as he travels the globe. Those acquaintances, and the handful of well-to-do socialists who finance WikiLeaks, view the convicted computer hacker as a heroic crusader, which makes him a celebrity whenever he comes to town.

His mother introduced him to computers at an early age. With his sharp mind and an "outsider mentality," he entered the world of hacking, setting up a group that became known as International Subversives. Assange has been called the "Robin Hood of Hacking." Among the websites he has hacked are the US Department of Defense and NASA. Among file footage hacked by Assange is a helicopter cockpit video shows civilians shot in Baghdad. The video was hacked and prepared for release on WikiLeaks through the Icelandic Digital Freedom Society. While Assange claims the Department of Defense files he recently released—and the 15,000 files he is preparing to release—were given to him, it appears Assange has the ability to hack into the Department of Defense website at will, and it's just as likely that he secured the files himself as it is that someone with access to them gave them up. US authorities have charged Pfc. Bradley Mannings, 22, with disseminating the top secret video which they believe he turned over to WikiLeaks. Assange has said the files he released came from soldiers with whom he came into contact after publishing a vast database of army equipment used in Iraq and Afghanistan. British Security Minister, Lady Pauline Neville-Jones admitted "...[w]e don't know how they got that material—it may be a combination of leaking of documents, but also one strongly suspects they have hacked into the systems as well...But, if you stop to think about it, military systems have to be secure because people's lives are at stake."

In 1989 the Australian government linked Assange to what the media called the "audacious attack" on NASA's computer. During the investigation, Assange monitored the police who were investigating him. He, or others in collusion with him, left messages for the detectives conducting the investigation on their computers. In December, 1995 Judge Leslie Ross of Melbourne's County Court, fined Assange $2,100 Australian dollars, telling Assange that the accused was driven by a desire to "...be empowered by his access to high security files."

The Berlin-based Wau Holland Foundation that manages the finances of WikiLeaks acknowledged that the fund received £330,000.00 thus far in 2010. The Foundation has issued checks totaling about £25,000.00 to Assange through the first half of this year. The Foundation added that they are compiling the financial records of WikiLeaks and will publish them when they are completed, adding that they have no way of knowing how much money is being donated through Iceland or other countries Assange visits. That money appears to go directly to Assange. WikiLeaks does not publish any statistics about money received or spent, but it claims to have raised about £655,000 since it was founded, adding that operating costs are about £131,000 per year. WikiLeaks noted that it will have to raise at least £390,000 per year if the handful of volunteers that currently donates it time are to be paid in the future.

Wau Holland, was born Herwart Holland-Moritz on Dec. 12, 1951. He was a co-founder of the Chaos Computer Club, the world's oldest computer hacking club. The hackers became world famous when they hacked into Germany's banking system and got 134 thousand Deutsche Marks. They returned the money the following day, advising the banks to increase their security to prevent hackers from looting their vaults. He then began to publish a computer hackers' magazine for club members. When Holland-Moritz died of a brain stem stroke on July 29, 2001, five club members formed the Wau Holland Foundation believing they had a social obligation to expose everything—without regard for the consequences. Holland-Moritz's family funded the startup of the tax exempt foundation with €62,000.

Assange noted that he recently hosted a seminar for the Socialist Democratic Party in Sweden. He further announced that he would write bimonthly columns for a leftwing Swedish newspaper.

Man arrested in Chicago for praying on the sidewalk—(Aug. 3, 2010)—To protect abortion clinics from pro-life protesters, the City of Chicago enacted the nation's first "bubble law" which prevents certain types of "picketing activity" outside of abortion clinics. The law took affect on Wed., Nov. 18 in the Windy City. On Nov. 17, 2009—a day before the ordinance went into affect—about 40 pro-life supporters protested the new ordinance outside of a North Side Planned Parenthood Clinic. Planned Parenthood issued a statement to the media during the protest that they were thrilled by the ordinance. And, why wouldn't they be? They proposed it and campaigned for it. The measure was voted on and signed by Mayor Richard Daley in October, 2009. The fact that it violates free speech right under the first amendment was of no consequence to Daley because, after all, this was Chicago where political jobs are bought and sold like penny candy and corrupt social progressive politicians rule Cook County like third world despots.

The new law went untested until July 3 of this year. On that day Joseph Holland, a Northwestern University graduate student was arrested outside Planned Parenthood's North Side facility for committing an unthinkable act—he was praying. He was not invading anyone's "private space." Employees called the police because they believed Holland was committing an intolerable act—and Holland was arrested for violating the city's Bubble Zone law. Keep in mind the "Bubble Law" specifically prohibits protesters from approaching within 8' of a person without consent "...for the purpose of passing a leaflet or handbill to, displaying a sign to, or engaging in oral protest, education or counseling." Praying is "none of the above," and in the United States, praying is still protected speech under the 1st Amendment even though the courts, using an illegal sleight-of-hand, have erased almost every right under the 1st Amendment by illegally coupling the 1st Amendment with Articles 13 and 14 of the UN Covenant on Human Rights. In doing so, the courts have converted an inalienable right into a conditional one. And even though the Constitution of the United States mandates that no law can be written that abridges the right of Americans to worship God in any way they wish—which includes praying where and whenever they please without inference from government, the courts now construe that right to be conditioned on the whims of those who dislike Christianity because God condemns both homosexuality and the killing of one's children, born or unborn. (Strangely, while the government of the United States has unofficially labeled Christianity as a religion of hate for teaching that the killing of the unborn violates the 6th Commandment and that unrepentive homosexuals will spend eternity in Hell, it eagerly opens its arms to Islam which, in Hadith 2:1 under Shari'a law, demands that Muslim believers kill homosexuals. The reason for pointing this out is to raise a logical question: why does our government, and other governments around the world malign Christians as racists while embracing Islam which promotes itself as a religion of peace while Shari'a Law mandates that Muslim believers kill homosexuals?)

In any event, witnesses—and a video—affirmed that Holland was standing stationary and praying outside everyone's "Bubble Zone." He was not passing out leaflets or handbills. Nor was he protesting or trying to get into anyone's face and counsel them on the fact that women who have abortions are killing living, although as yet unborn, children. Yet he was arrested for violating the Bubble Zone law. When the Thomas More Society, which represented Holland without charge, produced the video to show that Holland had not violated the Bubble Law, charges against him were dropped. Because of the video tape, the City of Chicago had no recourse. Holland had committed no crime. Peter Breen, legal counsel and Executive Director of the Thomas More Society said, "We are pleased that the City of Chicago dismissed these false and baseless charges against Joe Holland. The First Amendment protects prayer on a public sidewalk in Chicago the same as in any other city in the country. We hope that the city will cease the suppression of pro-life speech under the bubble zone ordinance and dismiss the lone remaining case, brought against David Avigone, who was arrested a few days after Joe."

The question is: does Avigone have a video tape to prove he was not harassing either abortion clinic employees or women going to the Planned Parenthood clinic to kill their unborn children? If he does not, it's likely that the Cook County Express will railroad its first Bubble Zone victim since the purpose of the ordinance is not to protect people who need protecting, but to deny the free speech rights of pro-life Americans that is mandated by the 1st Amendment—sans Articles 13 and 14 of the UN Covenant on Human Rights which serves as the rest of the world's "conditional" Bill of Rights.

NAACP issuing resolution condemning

Tea Party Movement as racist—(July 13, 2010)—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People [NAACP] said they will propose a resolution this week condemning the Tea Party Movement as a racist organization when the NAACP meets for its 101st Annual Conference in Kansas City this week. The resolution, which will be proffered today, will call upon "...all people of good will to repudiate the racism of the Tea parties, and to stand in opposition to its drive to push our country back to the pre-civil rights era." NAACP leaders said the resolution was necessary to make people aware of what they believe is a racist element within the Tea Party Movement. Michelle Obama will be present for what the NAACP expects will be the quickly passage of the resolution. Michelle Obama will give the keynote address.

Here's the rub. Say what you think, and think what you want, the Obama Administration's talking heads were given their talking points about the Tea Party within weeks of the movement's birth—call it racist. When anyone questions the legal status of the guy in the White House, call them racist. When anyone speaks out about the Obama agenda (i.e., Obamacare, Cap & Trade, or the back-breaking spending bills that have indentured the next 10 generations of Americans to the masters on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue), call them racists. If they speak about in favor of Arizona's immigration law that does nothing more than force law enforcement officers in the State to enforce federal immigration laws, call them racist.

Yet when New Black Panther Party chairman Malik Zulu Shabazz asks if its time for blacks to start killing every white baby, that's not construed by the NAACP or the mainstream media as racist. And, when Shabazz, his brother Samir and "poll watcher" Jerry Jackson who openly threatened white voters in Philadelphia's 13th Ward in Philadelphia with a club, and use intimidating racial slurs, threats and statements that they were tired of "white supremacy," they were not construed to be racists by the Obama Justice Department which dismissed all charges against the three—including their guilty plea. They did that because, in their view, everyone knows that "racism" is a white-against-black crime, not a black-against-white crime.

Anita Russell, head of the Kansas City chapter of the NAACP but who appears more like a pawn of the Obama White House told the Kansas City Star that "...I think a lot of people are not taking the Tea Party Movement seriously. And, we need to take it seriously. We need to realize it's really not about limited government." While those words were spoken by Russell, they were crafted by a White House propaganda machine that clearly understands just how serious the Tea Party Movement is, and the power it wields. And, Russell and the NAACP knows if the social progressives lose control of Congress this November, their best wet dreams of getting a share of the redistributed wealth of the middle class (which, by the way includes more than "whitey," since there is a rapidly growing Black-American middle class in the United States, and I don't think the Social Progressives have managed to craft an "I'm Black" tax exemption that will allow the growing number of Black Americans making over $200 thousand per year to avoid paying the same tax load as their white neighbors) dies with loss of a Democratic majority in either, or both, Houses of Congress.

Plain and simple, this is about politics—dirty socialist Democratic politics—the Saul Alinsky, Cloward-Pivens mudslinging politics that is specifically designed to malign the Tea Party movement not because they are racists but because the American people—Black and White—feel threatened by the social progressives and are taking a hard stand against the socialist policies of the Weather Underground radicals from the 1960s who now control the government of the United States and are intent on destroying this nation and recasting it as an oligarchic Soviet Union of the Americas.

The rhetoric of the social progressives isn't fooling anyone except perhaps those who view the world through the prism of socialist radicalism which, of course, includes the mainstream print and electronic media that is now owned by the princes of industry and the barons of banking and business who decide not only what news is fit to print, but what slant needs to be foisted as truth on who they are convinced is still a sleepy-eyed, gullible public that believes the sun revolves around the Earth, the Earth is flat and that you can get rid of half of the carbon dioxide on the planet and still have air to breathe and water to drink when carbon dioxide is the "food" plants eat in the process of photosynthesis that creates oxygen. The social progressives have declared war on America, and clearly the NAACP is in bed with Obama's agenda since they know if Obama fails to redistribute the wealth of America's middle class as it makes serfs of all of us, they will not be the recipients of the new entitlements that will put that money in their pockets.

Is the Tea Party movement racist? Not in a million years. Are they trying to hard to force the guy in the White House to prove he has a constitutional right to be there? You betcha. Are they fighting Obamacare and the Death Board that will ration healthcare to the elderly and anyone else with a catastrophic illness? You betcha. Are they fighting Cap & Trade, which will steal the wealth of all Americans—including poor Black Americans—and transfer that wealth to the emerging nations where the princes of industry and barons of business have moved their factories in order to capitalize on the human capital which they believe will be the primary global consumers in the 21st century? You betcha. What is happening in this country at this moment in Kansas City is the opening of a new salvo in the economic war between the social progressives and the free enterprise capitalists in an attempt to politically disarm the American people who are determined to take back their government.

Tea Party leaders and advocates of the constitional restoration movement rightly deny the allegations of racism which, as noted above, come from the Cloward-Pivens interpretation of racism which argues that because Obama is Black, any criticism of him or his policies are a form of racism. Advocates of this theory insist the real reason negative comments are made is because of the color of Obama's skin and not the color of his politics.

Democrats make $700 billion in Medicare cuts—Dec. 4, 2009 • On a 58-42 vote party-line vote, Democrats defeated a measure by Sen. John McCain to send back to committee the Medicare Physicians Payment Reform Act of 2009 (to amend Title XVIII of the Social Security Act) which will cut $400 billion in Medicare spending that targets medical care for the elderly. The Medicare Physicians Payment Reform Act of 2009 cleared the House on Nov. 19. If it clears the Senate when the bill comes up for its final vote on passage, the Democrats believe they have the votes to enact the legislation. If that proves to be true, then after a brief lovefest in Joint Conference, legislation designed to further rape the elderly will be signed into law by Barack Obama.

Voting with the Republicans were Senators Jim Webb [D-VA] and Ben Nelson [D-NE]. AARP lobbied seniors to support the Democratic measure, assuring them that cutting $700 billion in wasteful spending would serve to strengthen Medicare in the future, and no Medicare subscriber would lose any benefits to which they are entitled. McCain responded by telling seniors to "...[t]ake your AARP card, cut it in half and send it back. They betrayed you." McCain's proposal would have stopped the legislation in its tracks. Democrats argued that cutting what amounted to $400 billion over ten years would not affect the basic services guaranteed by Medicare but would, instead, squeeze insurance companies and hospitals that are overcharging for the services they provide.

Sen. Chris Dodd [D-CT], an institutionalized politician who has served 25 years in the Senate, and who is the Chairman of the Senate Health, Education Labor and Pensions Committee told the Washington Times that "...this isn't the first time defenders of our broken health care system have tried to scare seniors, and it won't be the last...Now they're coming, riding to the rescue of Medicare. We have a right, I think, to be skeptical." McCain argued that "...these are not attainable cuts without eventually rationing health care in America, and rationing healthcare to our senior citizens who have earned these benefits." (If you remember, the Democrats told seniors that former President George W. Bush was trying to scare them by telling them that Social Security was broke. Bush was correct, and the euthanasia mandates in Obamacare that will treat old age as a terminal illnesses in order to deny medical care to Social Security recipients in what the communists in the Democratic Party view as a "win-win" situation is the "proof in the pudding." Wake up, America. Every now and then a politician does tell you the truth. Granted, it doesn't happen often, but it does happen. Why do you persist in believing the pretty lies but not the ugly truth?) Also buried in that legislation—which was designed to force some 31 million new, uninsured senior citizens into the Medicare program—is a provision (in HR 3961 which has already passed the House) that will require all Americans to purchase health insurance or pay a penalty. McCain's bill to send the Medicare Physicians Payment Reform Act of 2009 back to committee for further debate also contained a provision by Sen. Lisa Murkowski [R-AK] that would have required doctors to go to practicing medical professionals and not Obama's federal Healthcare Board for coverage decisions affecting the lives of the elderly.

Under special rules agreed upon prior to the debate of this legislation, Democrats and Republicans agreed to the 60-vote threshold. If the Democrats can't pull Maine Republicans Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, and Webb and Nelson vote against the legislation when it comes up for a floor vote, the Medicare Physicians Payment Reform Act of 2009 will be defeated. It appears the measure to force every American citizen to purchase health insurance or pay what amounts to a federal non-compliance fine is designed to make socialized medicine look more appealing—and much less costly.

The communist left that now controls the government of the United States is determined to keep the national healthcare door open—if Obamacare fails—by making private insurance so costly that the Obamacare smoke and mirrors will look so convincingly appealing that the Tea Party activists will return to the sofa with a bag of chips, a cold beer and the TV remote control and the far left can return to the task of destroying the United States without arrogant rednecks protesting the transformation of their Republic into a totalitarian state.

The DNC Demontrates That Revolution Is Near

By Dave Hodges

I think it is time to suspend my website and stop broadcasting my radio show. It would appear that I have been overreacting to my perception of a failed economy, a weakened military, a failed foreign policy, high unemployment, skyrocketing levels of corruption, and extreme violoent crime in America’s 50 largest cities. The following excerpt of Obama’s DNC speech highlights why I am chastizing myself for being overly pessimistic. “After the worst recession in 80 years, we’ve fought our way back. We’ve seen deficits come down, 401(k)s recover, an auto industry set new records, unemployment reach eight-year lows, and our businesses create 15 million new jobs. After a century of trying, we declared that health care in America is not a privilege for a few, but a right for everybody. After decades of talk, we finally began to wean ourselves off foreign oil, and doubled our production of clean energy.” Obama told the DNC that “America is already strong.” This obviously meant that the country doesn’t need someone like Donald Trump to fix things because nothing is broken. In fact, Obama went on to say: “We brought more of our troops home to their families, and delivered justice to Osama bin Laden. Through diplomacy, we shut down Iran’s nuclear weapons program, opened up a new chapter with the people of Cuba, and brought nearly 200 nations together around a climate agreement that could save this planet for our kids. We put policies in place to help students with loans; protect consumers from fraud; and cut veteran homelessness almost in half….” There you have it, everything is OK, we can turn out the lights on the Independent Media and go home. But wait a minute, there’s this little thing called the truth. As followers of The Common Sense Show can tell you, we have a different set of facts. Young adults, when they go to college are acquiring a lifetime of insurmountable debt ($1.2 trillion). Veterans are killing themselves to the tune of 23 per day. General Motors has become China Motors. Healthcare providers are leaving Obamacare in droves. The free trade agreements continue to destroy American communities by sending jobs overseas. Detroit is America’s first Third World city, but certainly not the last. This is the symbol and lasting image of what all of America will look like. Detroit is the poster child for what free trade agreemnts are doing to America. The President can continue to cite all the bogus statistics he would like, but every prominent economist I interview tells me that our unemployment and underemployment rate is 25%! Obama gave Iran the ability to construct a nuclear weapon in half of the time that would have otherwise been able to do. Don’t forget about the $50 billion dollars we sent to this terrorist nation. Fifteen million new jobs Mr. President? Really? Why did’t you mention that there are 101 million working age adults who do not have fulltime employment? Why did you not mention that there is nobody in one out of five families who has a job? Why did you not mention that the new jobs being created are minium wage jobs? Why did you not tell the people that under your TPP, the Congress and the office of the President will soon lose their ability to protect the American consumer from unsavory business practices from the mutli-national corporations? The President’s speech was contually interrupted with heckling. The most heckeled subject was the TPP. Even some of the Democratic sheep get what is happening to them.

Russia to US in Syria: If we kill you, it’s your fault

Putin sends clear message to Obama, Kerry regarding ISIS

By L. Todd Wood - - Wednesday, July 27, 2016

Russian President Vladimir Putin has longed to have the US coordinate efforts with Russia in Syria to provide legitimacy to the Russian expeditionary force in the Syrian theater. Recently news leaked that Russian combat aircraft purposefully bombed a secret US base on the Jordanian-Syrian border. US and British troops were active from time to time at the facility and a group of British troops had just left. Four American-backed rebels were killed in the attack. Since the base was not in the normal attack area of the Russian and Syrian forces, the Pentagon confirmed the attack seemed deliberate. The Kremlin was obviously sending the Americans a message, cooperate with Russia in Syria or else. Secretary Kerry and President Obama immediately backed down and gave Russia what they wanted, a formal cooperative announcement in the Syrian theater against the Islamic State. Now the plot thickens as Russia denies the event and even suggests it could target US and US-backed forces again. Maj.-Gen. Igor Konashenkov, an official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, made their position clear: if Russian bombers did accidentally hit U.S. troops in Syria, Russia would place all blame for the casualties on the Pentagon, TASS Information Agency reported on July 23. “The fact that anti-ISIS coalitions, deployed in Syria, find themselves under threat from Russia’s air force—the responsibility for this rests exclusively with their military leadership. For our part, we constantly—and through all available channels—call on our partners to provide information on the locations of the units of ‘moderate opposition.’” he said. According to Konashenkov, the Russian military discussed the situation with their American counterparts. “Even after the [first] airstrikes in June, on the training camp for the rebel fighters in At Tanf,” he explained, “our American colleagues were saying [to us], ‘Don’t hit there—where you just hit,’” reports Observer Politics. The Kremlin obviously thinks it can dictate facts on the ground in the Middle East against the feckless Obama administration which has simply decided to kick the can to the next American president. We will see if this scenario holds up under a Trump administration.

Despite denial, ‘growing evidence’ Russia is using cluster bombs in Syria, report says

By Thomas Gibbons-Neff July 28

After a breakdown of the recent cease-fire in Syria, Russian and Syrian air forces have resumed a bombing campaign that has extensively used cluster munitions, killing and maiming dozens of civilians, a leading human rights group said in a report released Thursday. The report by the New York-based Human Rights Watch documented 47 different cluster munition attacks across three Syrian governorates since May 27. The majority of the attacks focused on Aleppo, where Syrian government forces backed by Russian air support and artillery have fought doggedly to dislodge opposition fighters located in the city. Cluster munitions are banned by 119 countries, but Russia and Syria are not party to the convention that prohibits their possession and use. Frequently airdropped but capable of being fired from artillery, cluster munitions are weapons often used to deny enemy forces important terrain by saturating an area in small tennis-ball-size bomblets, known as submunitions, which can explode on impact. But many of these small bombs do not explode, creating fields of highly unstable ordnance that maim and kill anyone, often civilians, who come across them. Human Rights Watch has documented the use of 13 different types of cluster munitions in Syria. “Since Russia and Syria have renewed their joint air operations, we have seen a relentless use of cluster munitions,” said Ole Solvang, deputy emergencies director at Human Rights Watch in the report. “The Russian government should immediately ensure that neither its forces nor Syria’s use this inherently indiscriminate weapon.” Syrian government forces were first documented using cluster munitions in 2012 and following the start of Russia’s air campaign in late September, open source image analysts have highlighted pictures and footage showing Russian bombers loaded with the controversial weapons. From Sept. 30 to Feb 27, Human Rights Watch recorded 34 cluster munition attacks across Syria. According to the report, the number of attacks dropped off from February to April, roughly during the same time that a nationwide cessation of hostilities went into effect. In May, opposition groups mostly entrenched around Aleppo, went on the offensive, and the number of cluster munition attacks spiked once more. According to the report, Human Rights Watch has received reports of upward of 150 cluster-bomb attacks since May but has not been able to verify many of them because of heavy fighting and poor communications. Syrian government forces, despite using a limited amount of cluster munitions, have primarily relied on crudely built barrel bombs as their go-to airdropped weapon. Packed with explosives and homemade shrapnel, the weapons have been used to devastating effect over Syria’s cities and countryside to kill and maim thousands of civilians and opposition fighters. According to the Human Rights Watch report, the Russian-Syrian air campaign has used cluster munitions in two high-profile attacks in the past two months: one on a series of fuel trucks earlier this month and the other on U.S.-backed Syrian fighters in June. Aside from carrying cluster munitions, Russian aircraft have also been recently spotted loaded with incendiary bombs. Social media posts have appeared to confirm an uptick in their use as well, though it is unclear whether they are being dropped by Russian or Syrian aircraft. In an interview last month, Mary Wareham, the arms advocacy director at Human Rights Watch, said that her group has begun an in-depth look into the reports to see whether incendiary weapons have been dropped on civilian populations. Russia is party to a U.N. protocol that bans the use of airdropped incendiary bombs on areas that contain large numbers of civilians, but Syria is not. [How Russian special forces are shaping the fight in Syria] Despite the documented presence of problematic munitions strapped to the underbelly of their aircraft, the Russian Defense Ministry released a statement in December noting that the Russian air force does not use cluster munitions and does not store them at its main air base in Syria. While the United States has also not banned the use of cluster munitions, an Air Force spokesman said that U.S. forces and other coalition aircraft flying over Iraq and Syria have not used them during their bombing campaign against the Islamic State. “U.S. aircraft have only employed precision guided or direct fire weapons in Operation Inherent Resolve,” Lt. Col Chris Kairns said in an email. “Fighting against an enemy that wraps itself around the population requires painstakingly careful targeting, discipline, and pinpoint accuracy and precision.” Although the United States has not used the munitions in its anti-Islamic State campaign, it has continuously supplied cluster munitions to its regional allies, including Saudi Arabia, which has used them in its recent bombing campaign over Yemen.

Israel Gearing Up for Worst-Case ‘Day After’ Scenarios Against ISIS, Hezbollah if Russia-Brokered Syria Deal Materializes 

July 31, 2016 9:04 pm

Israel is gearing up for the “day after” an agreement is reached in Syria between the Assad regime and rebel forces, by preparing for worst-case scenarios, the Hebrew news site Walla reported on Sunday. According to the report, attempts by Russian President Vladimir Putin to broker such a deal are on the verge of bearing fruit, something that Israel is planning for both politically and militarily. Where the latter is concerned, the IDF is taking into account that after the two warring sides in Syria achieve understandings, jihadists will turn their attention to and aim their fire at the Israeli border. This possibility was behind a series of drills conducted by the IDF’s Golani Brigade along the Syrian and Lebanese borders last week, to train for combat against ISIS terrorists. Though, as Walla reported, the IDF defines the Syrian border as “stable” – despite a number of incidents of stray fire and mortar-landings over the past few weeks – the Northern Command is bracing itself for a new reality. Northern Command chief Maj. Gen. Aviv Kochavi thus ordered drills to prepare for potential cross-border attacks and infiltrations. In such events, he said, the IDF would retaliate with force. The IDF was satisfied with the ability of the troops participating in the drill to meet the challenge. One aspect of the exercise was based on the assessment that most of the civilians on the other side of the borders are not terrorists, with only a small number of jihadis operating in their midst. An entire battalion was deployed in the exercise to pose as Syrian civilians, whom the soldiers in the field were to keep isolated from fire on either side. One way this was done was through announcements shouted by Arabic-speaking officers into megaphones, to warn Syrian civilians of imminent IDF attacks against rebels. This was one move aimed at fostering a good relationship with the villagers living near the border fence — many of whom are already predisposed to Israel, after being treated in Israeli hospitals for wounds sustained in the crossfire of the war. Meanwhile, assessments in the IDF are that an inter-Syrian agreement will lead not only to fighting against rebel jihadis, but with Iran’s proxy, the Lebanon-based terrorist organization Hezbollah, which supports the Assad regime. In such an event, the IDF believes, the need to maneuver deeper in Lebanon will be significantly greater than it was during Israel’s war against Hezbollah 10 years ago. As The Algemeiner reported on Thursday, two major joint exercises, conducted by the US Marine Corps and the IDF, were undertaken recently. One called CAYA Green (for “come as you are when you get the green light”) simulated a raid on enemy shores. The other, Noble Shirley 2016, held in southern Israel, practiced counter-terrorism techniques against ISIS. Earlier this month, US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said they had agreed on “concrete steps” to achieve a truce in Syria – following the complete breakdown of the partial ceasefire they brokered in February. The bloody civil war in Syria has been going on since 2011. Putin backs the Assad regime. Washington is aiming to receive greater cooperation with Moscow in fighting the terrorist rebel groups, in exchange for Putin’s promise to rein in Assad.

US election: Donald Trump warns vote could be 'rigged'

2 August 2016

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has suggested that the November election could be "rigged". He told a rally in Columbus, Ohio, that he had heard "more and more" that the contest would be unfair. He offered no immediate evidence. At another event he called Democratic rival Hillary Clinton "the devil". Mr Trump has come under fire from across the political divide for remarks he made about the parents of a US Muslim soldier killed in action. On the forthcoming vote, he told supporters "I'm afraid the election is going to be rigged, I have to be honest". He later repeated the claim on Fox News, adding "I hope the Republicans are watching closely or it's going to be taken away from us." Mr Trump has made similar comments before in relation to the Democratic race, suggesting the party fixed its system to favour nominee Hillary Clinton over her challenger Bernie Sanders. Earlier this year, he also complained the Republican primary system was also "rigged" amid party efforts to stop his march to the candidacy. Correspondents say Mr Trump could be trying to capitalise on voters' distrust of establishment institutions, or lay the groundwork should he lose the election. 'Devil' At another rally in Pennsylvania, he took the unprecedented step of directly calling Mrs Clinton "the devil". He attacked Mr Sanders for capitulating in the Democratic race, saying he "made a deal with the devil. She's the devil." Democrats and Republicans alike have condemned Mr Trump for his remarks about the parents of US Army Capt Humayun Khan, who was killed by a car bomb in 2004 in Iraq, at the age of 27. Former Republican presidential candidate John McCain became the latest senior figure in the party to criticise Mr Trump for his attacks. Senator McCain, a veteran of the Vietnam War, said in a strongly worded statement that Mr Trump did not have "unfettered licence to defame the best among us". The soldier's parents, Khizr Khan and his wife Ghazala, told the BBC it was time to stand up to Mr Trump but he accused them of "viciously" attacking him. Who was Capt Humayun Khan? Soldier's mother: 'I was in pain' How the ordinary can shake up politics Mr Trump had caused controversy by suggesting Ghazala Khan had been prevented from speaking alongside her husband at the Democratic convention last week. In another development, American billionaire businessman Warren Buffett challenged Mr Trump to release his tax returns. Mr Trump has said that they cannot be made public until the financial authorities have completed an audit. But Mr Buffett said there were no rules against showing tax returns and allowing people to ask questions about them.

FBI employee admits spying for Beijing, after Chinese contacts lavished him with prostitutes and cash

PUBLISHED : Tuesday, 02 August, 2016, 10:16am UPDATED : Tuesday, 02 August, 2016, 10:04pm

A longtime FBI employee with top-secret clearances pleaded guilty to acting as an agent of China and providing officials in that country with sensitive information, prosecutors announced Monday. Kun Shan Chun was secretly arrested in March and held on charges of lying repeatedly about his contacts in China, who lavished him with prostitutes, cash and expensive hotel rooms, according to the criminal complaint. Chun, 46, who was born in China and is also known as Joey, faces up to 10 years in prison. His lawyer, Jonathan Marvinny, said in an email: “Today Joey Chun accepted responsibility for some mistakes in judgment that he deeply regrets. The truth is that Mr Chun loves the United States and never intended to cause it any harm. He hopes to put this matter behind him and move forward with his life.” Chinese state media praise hacker for spying on US Prosecutors accused Chun, who joined the FBI in 1997, of failing to disclose that he had contact with a Chinese national during an overseas trip, among other violations. “Kun Shan Chun violated our nation’s trust by exploiting his official . . . position to provide restricted and sensitive FBI information to the Chinese Government,” Assistant Attorney General John Carlin, who heads the Justice Department’s national security division, said in a statement. Authorities said Chun also did not tell the FBI about a business venture with a Chinese technology company called Kolion, according to the complaint. Since at least 2006, the FBI said, Chun performed research and consulted on behalf of the company in exchange for benefits that included foreign travel. According to Kolion’s website, the company makes toner cartridges for copiers and printers. During that period, the FBI said, Chun was also in contact with an individual affiliated with the Chinese government. It’s not clear why the FBI started to investigate Chun, who was required to answer questions in 2012 as part of a routine review to determine if he should maintain his security clearances. He had access to sensitive and classified material in his job as an electronic technician in the FBI’s Manhattan field office. As part of a deal with prosecutors, Marvinny said, they agreed to drop the charges of lying on his FBI questionnaire if Chun pleaded guilty to acting as an agent of the Chinese government. The FBI, which is in charge of domestic counterintelligence, has taken aggressive steps to thwart Chinese espionage. The bureau has also seen a sharp spike in the number of economic espionage cases, most stemming from China and Russia. According to prosecutors, Chun downloaded an FBI organisational chart from his work computer in 2013 and provided the document, without names, to the Chinese. In January 2015, he took photographs of documents in a restricted area at the field office that summarised details about “multiple surveillance technologies used by the FBI.” He later gave that information to a Chinese official, authorities say. Canada cites espionage risk from two Huawei employees, saying it plans to reject their immigration applications The FBI apparently became suspicious enough of Chun to mount an undercover operation in February 2015. The FBI’s undercover agent told Chun that he worked as an independent contractor for the Pentagon. During a meeting in New York later that year, Chun told the agent that his associates in China provided paid prostitutes and had given his parents money. His parents apparently had stock in Kolion, too, and owned property in China. Chun told the undercover agent that Kolion was backed by the Chinese government. The criminal complaint says Chun’s parents had urged him to work for these Chinese associates because of their investment in Kolion. According to the complaint, Chun believed that his parents had told people in China that he worked for the US government. He said that when he visited China, the associates gave him a “place to live and . . . a hotel.” On one occasion, during a trip to Europe, Chun offered to introduce the undercover agents to his contacts in China, prosecutors said. In July 2015, the agent traveled to Hungary, where he met with Chun twice. During one meeting, authorities say, Chun told the agent that he knew “firsthand” that the Chinese government was involved in recruiting people who could assist it. In exchange, the government was willing to “provide immigration benefits and other compensation,” the complaint said. The undercover agent said he had access to sensitive government information. Chun responded that his Chinese associates would be interested if that was the case. In another meeting that was recorded in New York in October 2015, Chun said he had tried to make contact with a Chinese government official to “facilitate the passage of sensitive information” from the undercover agent. Chun said he didn’t care if the FBI fired him but was concerned about whether the bureau had evidence of him associating with a foreign contact and failing to report it. “I lied, I reported certain people [but] not everybody,” he said, according to the complaint.

ISIS Warns American, British Christian Clergy, Congregants: You're Next

3:00PM EDT 8/1/2016 Bethany Blankley

Following the brutal murder of an elderly Catholic Priest in France, ISIS has publicly warned British Christian clergy and their congregants: you're next. Police publicly warned Britain's 5.4 million Christian church goers, pastors and clergy to be on alert as they are likely targets for ISIS. The Daily Mail reports that security has now been increased for Britain's 47,000 churches in response to ISIS's threat to target Christians and churches in major world cities. Roughly 5.4 million British citizens are church members. "Deputy Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu said: 'Following recent events in France, we are reiterating our protective security advice to Christian places of worship and have circulated specific advice today. We are also taking this opportunity to remind them to review their security arrangements as a precaution. Daesh and other terrorist groups have targeted Christian as well as Jewish and other faith groups in the West and beyond. While the threat from terrorism remains unchanged at severe we urge the public to be vigilant." Citing analysts at the SITE intelligence group, the Mail reports that London is on an ISIS hit list of cities it plans to target next. But, London is not alone. America is next. ISIS released pictures of major world cities online, two of which are New York City and Washington, D.C. One image ISIS published is of the Statue of Liberty on fire with a caption that reads: "Washington soon." And: "OUR BATTLE ON YOUR LAND HAS NOT STARTED YET BE UPON YOU ONLY WAITING"

ISIS urges its followers to attack churches, which it refers to as "Christian crusaders."

California Rewrites Education Curriculum To Impose LGBT Lifestyles

It was with great pride that California Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson announced a new framework that will impose lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered lifestyles into the curriculum as early as the second grade. Torlakson, a former Democratic Senator now in his second term managing California's curriculum, was quoted as calling the new framework a "big win for our students" in reference to LGBT content that will be inserted into science, history, finance, language arts and other subject areas in accordance with the Common Core Standards. Cloaked in the language of inclusion and anti-discrimination, according to Superintendent Torlakson, the framework is purported to "improve the teaching and learning of history and social science. It will give our students access to the latest historical research and help them learn about the diversity of our state and the contributions of people and groups who may not have received the appropriate recognition in the past." Disguised in this way, who would be opposed to providing students with the access to the latest historical research? And who would support denying recognition to the appropriate contributions of historically significant groups? Examining the specifics of the new framework reveal much more however. Before examining the framework, itself, it is important to understand its origins. On April 14th of 2011, the California State Senate voted along party lines to pass a bill that mandated the teaching of LGBT contributions in the social studies curriculum. At the time, this was opposed by conservative voices in the State government as an open promotion of homosexuality but it was also opposed by the Los Angeles Times Editorial Board who recognized that, whereas struggles against discrimination have a legitimate place in the curriculum, this bill went further, stating that "Legislators aren't improving education in the state by stuffing the curriculum with new politically correct requirements. If more is added...something else will have to be deleted or treated more shallowly." This new framework being introduced now is the implementation of the previous, broadly-stated legal requirement. The specifics of the new curriculum framework take indoctrination to another level. Second grade students students will develop a sense of history by learning that the traditional family structure is no more proper or healthy than any other. To quote a passage from the standard, "Through studying the stories of a very diverse collection of families, such as immigrant families, families with lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender parents and their children, families of color, step and blended families, families headed by single parents, extended families...families with disabled members, families from different religious traditions, and adoptive families, students can both locate themselves and their own families in history and learn about the lives and historical struggles of their peers." Thus the concept of the traditional nuclear family with male and female parents raising children is undermined at an age when children are particularly vulnerable to indoctrination. Gender preferences are equated with race, a common tactic recently in which the push for trans-something privileges is equated with the very serious struggle against racism in the Civil Rights Movement. Not wanting to be "on the wrong side of history" as they say, fourth grade students will celebrate the achievements of gay public officials such a Harvey Milk, who was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977. Of course this means omitting mention of something or someone else already in the curriculum, because with all of the mandated testing there cannot be time for everything. Teachers already in the classroom are unprepared to infuse their teaching with gay oriented propaganda since the textbooks are still being rewritten and teacher training courses reworked to accommodate the new LGBT focus. Fear not, however, because the State Education Department is being 'advised' by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) which provides on its website a library of Kindergarten through grade 12 teaching resources for an LGBT oriented curriculum. These include celebration of LGBT history month in the classrooms and specific literary lessons for language arts classes and a new focus for science class as well. Kevin Jennings, the founder of GLSEN, has pointed out that teachers will need to be trained in the new methods of educating students in the importance of LGBT history and its value for society, according to an interview he gave to Education Week in September, 2015. Some may question how a focus on the homosexuality of Alan Turing, father of the modern computer, teaches students anything more about how a computer functions. Or they may question spending valuable hours in the curriculum on the murder of Matthew Shephard (a lesson provided by GLSEN) rather than the thousands of historically significant events that will be neglected. Some may even go so far as to question why gender confusion is being promoted for second grade students. Those making these claims can now simply be labeled as regressive bigots and ignored. Just let the State determine what your children will believe about family, history, science and literature. After all, the new framework is Common Core aligned. The national move to a set of Common Core Standards that are unified across every state in America is, in itself, a dangerous encroachment on the right to define educational standards locally. The LGBT curriculum is being imposed now in California, in alignment with Common Core, but how long before such content is inserted into other State curricula under the guise of opposing discrimination and with the threat of denying billions in Federal funds? A precedent for this use of the Federal "power of the purse" in education was set this year in Texas with the debate over transgendered bathrooms. If California is any indication, an LGBT oriented educational curriculum may be the next national battleground.

Let’s Roll: Why Standing Up to a Terrorist Is Your Best Self-Defense

Glen Butler / July 28, 2016

After the carnage like we’ve witnessed in American cities such as San Bernardino and Orlando, and more recently in Europe, the national conversation tends to shift temporarily back toward gun control legislation and how to best protect ourselves in the homeland from future terrorist attacks. Sadly, however, what is always absent from these post-tragedy conversations is any mention of one change with enormous potential to save lives—one which would not require controversial legislation, millions of dollars, nor procurement of expensive advanced technologies. This change includes an overdue re-examination of how unarmed civilians should respond during these events, including how federal, state, and local authorities tell the public to respond. Most every American has at some point either discussed or practiced an “active shooter response” based on guidance developed by the Department of Homeland Security. Originally created, in part, as a buffer against potential lawsuits in the wake of a Nebraska mall shooting in late 2007, the guidance teaches us to run away if possible, hide if you are unable to escape, and fight back only as a last resort. Today, “Run, Hide, Fight” is taught to everyone and mandated not only by the DHS, but also by the FBI, law enforcement…and even the military, including for its own members. Fear of lawsuits (by grieving family members of victims who fought back) still drives this and indirectly paralyzes everyone into watching helplessly as the active shooter and terrorist menace rampages. Despite this public mandate to run away or cower when under attack, America vigorously celebrates those who violate this edict and confront the threat. Three Americans were among those who famously thwarted an attack on a Paris train in August of last year; they’ve enjoyed celebrity status in the months since. Numerous other examples exist of average Americans bucking their government’s guidance, ignoring their survival instincts, and doing the right thing to help save others, and themselves. Deciding how to respond in such a scenario is a personal choice, and it would be callous to criticize others who have experienced such trauma, no matter their response. But the mere suggestion of confrontation has somehow become controversial. Recall the widespread criticism of former presidential candidate Ben Carson in October when he said “I would not just stand there and let him shoot me … I would ask everybody to attack” in response to a question about the shooting at an Oregon community college. The world was aghast he would say such a thing. Nevertheless, consider that in 2012 the Aurora, Colorado, theater gunman who killed 20 people and injured 70 had enough time to leisurely fire 76 shots without confrontation, and was standing casually outside the theater before the arrival of police, who initially mistook him for one of their own. More recently, an Orlando survivor told CNN he was hiding in the bathroom stall when the gunman’s gun jammed, and he initially thought someone would then use that pause to rush the attacker. “But no one did,” he said. That’s because they were all simply doing what they’ve been told to do, countless times. The mindset that we are helpless without weapons is not only self-defeating, but dangerous, and government policy that reinforces this perception is a flawed one. A September 2013 FBI report found that of the 160 active shooter incidents in the U.S. between 2010 and 2013, 21 (13.1 percent) ended after unarmed citizens made the “selfless and deeply personal choices” to confront the active shooters. In each of these cases, the citizens “safely and successfully disrupted the shootings” and “likely saved the lives” of many others present. Another compelling reason to consider change is because future attacks are inevitable, and relying on police rescue might actually lower your own chance of survival. The 2013 FBI report found that of those 160 active shooter incidents—incidents that generated 1,043 total casualties—60 percent ended before police arrived. These disturbing numbers warrant attention, especially when examined alongside CIA Director John Brennan’s recent remarks: “ISIL has a large cadre of Western fighters who could potentially serve as operatives for attacks in the West … our efforts have not reduced the group’s terrorism capability and global reach … [and] we judge that it will intensify its global terror campaign.” Finally, our government-mandated response guidance is based on outdated models. Al-Qaeda’s recent Inspire magazine told its U.S. supporters to wage a “knife jihad” and stab civilians like they’re all “Israeli Jews.” A 17-year-old Afghan “refugee” recently attacked passengers in this manner on a German train, and an elderly Catholic priest was similarly butchered during a Mass in France. Does it make any sense to hide behind a desk while a jihadi terrorist slowly slices your co-workers, fellow students, or other Americans to death with a knife or machete? Wouldn’t it be more practical, ethical, and effective to rush blade-wielding terrorists as soon as possible? Ultimately, this is something Americans should discuss, pundits should debate, and government officials should examine. On 9/11, Todd Beamer’s simple “Let’s roll” directive inspired his fellow United Airlines Flight 93 passengers, and now stands as enduring testament to real American grit. It’s time we stop training to be lambs for the slaughter and have a national conversation about standing up to terrorists—a conversation that, for once, isn’t linked to either arming everyone with guns or to legislatively taking away those same weapons. It’s time to arm ourselves with knowledge about the benefits of action, and with training for such methods of defense and deterrence. After all, you don’t need to be a Navy SEAL or a SWAT team leader to be a hero. You just need to reflect on the current plan’s flaws and be willing to take a better approach, to stand up together against the evil. Let’s roll, America!

US Leads Nuclear Strike Bomber Exercise Over Euro-Baltic, Claims It’s Responding to ‘Russian Aggression’

August 2, 2016 By 21wire

21st Century Wire says… Once again, the US military industrial complex is determined to CREATE tension in order to justify its new arms markets in the new EU states like Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Romania and others. You have to query the psychopathic mindset of the US and the bellicose names its constantly comes up with in order to try to intimidate the rest of the world’s less hyper-militarized nations. This latest nuclear bomber strike exercise targeting Russia was entitled, “Polar Roar”. NATO has repeatedly accused Russian aircraft of ‘breaching’ its airspace – even though NATO is not an actual country. Meanwhile, NATO is engaged in its most aggressive ever military expansion in its 67 year history – during apparent ‘peacetime.’ Add to this, NATO’s recent massive troop and hardware build-ups in EU frontier states like Estonia (dubbed “Spring Storm”), and in Poland, Lithuania and Latvia, and one has to ask the prudent question: is NATO preparing for something other than peacetime?

Could Russia be preparing for a preemptive nuclear strike on the US? Part 1

Posted on August 2, 2016

August 2016 – MOSCOW – Troubling signs are emerging that Russia is preparing for a nuclear war with the U.S. Whether that war happens soon or sometime much later will depend on U.S. actions and the decisions made by Putin and key members of the Russian leadership if they interpret U.S. actions as a legitimate existential threat to the Russian Federation. A new cold war between the two countries is heating up. NATO troops are parked on Russia’s doorstep. A US-based missile shield is to be erected in Romania and Poland. The U.S. and Russia are engaged in a no-holds barred proxy war in the Ukraine and Syria. Russian jets are buzzing American ships in the Black Sea. Against American wishes, Russia is providing advanced anti-aircraft defensive systems to both Iran and Syria. Neither side really trusts each and what little, if any, trust there is left is rapidly eroding. We have all the makings of a potential nuclear conflict. Strategic nuclear arsenals are like an advanced, dangerous chess game. However, like in any good chess match, we believe such an earth-shattering decision as a unilateral preemptive nuclear strike is more likely to be made when one side appears to have gained the strategic imperative and the other side is stealthily capable of exploiting his opponent’s vulnerability. Such a window to launch an attack may occur in 2017 and beyond, after the 2016 U.S. election (between Clinton and Trump) has been decided by American voters. Only by examining all the evidence collectively can we get a comprehensive picture of possible Russian intentions. One thing you’ll agree on is that this new cold war tension between Russia and the U.S. is much more dangerous than what the public, heretofore, has been led to believe. Let’s begin our four-part series with the Russian military doctrinal belief that a preemptive nuclear strike is more likely to be launched when one side believes it has enough of a strategic advantage over the other side to tip the balance of power in its favor. We will hear this expressed from Vladimir Putin himself in an address recorded at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, which occurred from June 16–18, of 2016. Many things emerged from Putin’s speech, particularly the candid admission that Russia was instrumental in negotiating or brokering Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran to stave off a potential war in the Middle East involving Israel. What Russia wanted in return for its cooperation on the Iranian deal and how that plays into the present cold-war dilemma with the U.S. will be discussed more at length later. For now – how dangerous is the Russian threat to the U.S.? The answer is expressed by American military officials themselves: “Mark Milley, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, said that it was only the Russian army that could pose a threat to the United States of America. The official also said that Russia was the only country in the world that could destroy the United States. Recently, top US officials have been pointing out the growth of Russia’s military power. The commander of US forces in Europe, Ben Hodges, said that Russia was capable of showing resistance even to a technologically superior enemy owing to its air defense system and anti-ship complexes.” –Pravda Russia now only believes it can win a nuclear exchange with the U.S. It has held to this belief since 2014. Consequently, Vladimir Putin is preparing his country for the potential likelihood of a nuclear war. Not surprisingly, this preparation is not limited to the underground bunker complex the Russians have constructed in the Ural Mountains or under the streets of Moscow – it includes a complete modernization of all of Russia’s nuclear arsenal. Consider the November 20, 2014 article below in Forbes magazine called, Does Russia think their new nuclear weapons could win a war? Does Russia think their new nuclear weapons could win a war? A new round of Russian nuclear weapons development, their new aggressive posture and their new spurning of joint nuclear programs with the United States, all point to a disconcerting trend in Russian thinking amid a growing confidence in the nation’s military capabilities. Americans have short memories. Russians don’t. It’s only been 25 years since the Wall came down, but in Russia’s mind the Cold War didn’t end. If Russia’s invasion of Ukraine isn’t enough of a heads-up, then maybe their new generation of tactical nuclear weapons is. On September 10, Putin said Russia will develop a new guaranteed nuclear deterrent to counter the United States and NATO. Actually, they already have. Russia reportedly thinks its tactical nukes are now better than both ours and NATO’s. NATO member countries have only 260 older tactical weapons. Sited in Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Turkey, the U.S. has 200 nuclear bombs with an overall capacity of 18 megatons. France has 60 atomic bombs. The US has 300 tactical B-61 bombs on its own territory, but this does not touch the imbalance. The United States cannot improve this situation as we have destroyed many of our Cold War tactical nuclear missiles, land-based missiles and sea-based Tomahawk cruise missiles. And we pinned ourselves with our own treaties. The recent START 3 treaty was overwhelmingly favorable to Russia. Russia has developed long-range cruise missiles of a new generation that will soon be deployed on submarines of the Black Sea Fleet and missile ships of the Caspian Flotilla. The U.S. State Department admitted as much in a report published at the beginning of September, stating that Russia has passed us in nuclear weapons capability for the first time in 40 years. Letting our nuclear arsenal fall into disrepair is one thing (Washington Post), but allowing Russia to build a new strategic nuclear weapons force more advanced than ours is another thing altogether. And they even have a new generation of missiles. So Russia does think it has the upper hand. And they might, if Putin and the hard-liners are willing to use force as much as they seem lately. Maybe it’s just coincidental that Russia plans to send long-range bombers to the Gulf of Mexico “just for practice.” Russia has decided not to participate in scheduled joint nuclear security efforts with the United States. Russia is boycotting a U.S.-hosted international security summit meeting in 2016. When the heads-of-state gave Putin too much grief about the Ukraine at the G-20 meeting last week, he just got up and left. The decline in U.S.-Russian relations is symptomatic of many things and can be dangerous as isolation can breed misinterpretations (NY Times). Russia views our Congress as weak and ineffective, hamstringing our Commander-in-Chief. Russia is paranoid that they themselves will be seen as weak. And Kremlin hard-liners are reticent about letting U.S. experts into their nuclear sites. –Forbes

China holds massive naval drills to prepare for ‘sudden, cruel & short’ modern war (VIDEO)

Published time: 2 Aug, 2016 01:39 Edited time: 3 Aug, 2016 15:32

The Chinese navy held a large-scale “live ammunition” drill in the East China Sea, which involved hundreds of ships and submarines from all three fleets of the People’s Liberation Army. The exercise involving China's East Sea, North Sea and South Sea fleets practiced both offensive and defensive capabilities of the Chinese naval power. The exercise mobilized some 300 ships, dozens of fighter planes, and involved troops that are responsible for coastal defense radars, communications, and electronic warfare defense, daily newspaper The China Times reported. READ MORE: ‘Price to pay for US’: Beijing ready to confront Washington if it intervenes in S.China Sea dispute “The drill is aimed at honing the assault intensity, precision, stability and speed of troops amid heavy electromagnetic influences,” said a navy statement released Monday. “An information technology-based war at sea is sudden, cruel and short, which requires a fast transition to combat status, quick preparation and high assault efficiency.” The participating troops and vessels were divided into red and blue teams. The red side joint-assault group perfected skills in attacking the blue side, while the blue team had to use missiles and torpedoes to counterattack their enemy. The drills overall covered a wide range of combat scenarios including reconnaissance, early warning, long-range precision strikes and air and missile defense capabilities of the navy. China's Defense Ministry called the drills “routine” and not directed against any third party. The drills, however, come at a time of increased tensions in East Asia after an international arbitration tribunal last month rejected Chinese territorial claims to the South China Sea. Beijing rejected the decision by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague calling the ruling “waste paper.” Despite the court ruling, China continues to claim most of the South China Sea, through which more than $5 trillion in annual trade passes. Furthermore, China has repeatedly warned against US intervention in the region, which continues to show its force through the freedom of navigation principle. “The People’s Liberation Army is ready,” one source with ties to the military told Reuters. “We should go in and give them a bloody nose like Deng Xiaoping did to Vietnam in 1979.” Last week, Beijing also announced that it would hold a “routine” naval exercises in the South China Sea in September with Russia. “This is a routine exercise between the two armed forces, aimed at strengthening the developing China-Russia strategic cooperative partnership,” China's defense ministry spokesman Yang Yujun told reporters. “The exercise is not directed against third parties.”

‘Western Europe is practically dead’: Polish terror experts lash out at the EU and slam Merkel's response to jihadi attacks

Former Central Investigation Bureau officer Jacek Wrona spoke out

He slammed the German government's response to terror attacks

Military historian Dr Rafal Brzeski accused Germany of 'self-censorship'

Wrona said Munich shooter could easily have got a gun

'The whole Balkans are flooded with weapons,' he reasoned

There have been five attacks on Germany between July 18 and July 26

By Sarah Dean For Mailonline Published: 04:33 EST, 2 August 2016 | Updated: 08:06 EST, 2 August 2016

A former Central Investigation Bureau officer in Poland has claimed 'Western Europe is practically dead' and blamed Angela Merkel's migration policy for its demise. Jacek Wrona slammed the German government's response to terror attacks while appearing on a Polish chat show alongside military historian Dr Rafal Brzeski,wPolityce reports. Wrona compared the situation to the fall of the Roman Empire, saying: 'Europe is at the end of its existence. Western Europe is practically dead. 'These people live in a void, without ideas. And they come the young, who want to acquire wealth, as once did the barbarians. And they have the power.' He said the EU is suffering because of political correctness. 'The worst problem for services is political correctness. We need a sober judgment,' Wrona claimed. Dr Brzeski also criticised the German government's response to recent terror attacks. 'The Germans have had enough of this, which does not mean that the government has had enough. These are two different approaches,' he said. Their comments come after five separate incidents in Germany between July 18 and July 26. The attacks, two of them claimed by Islamic State, also left dozens wounded and have burst any illusions that the country is immune to atrocities like those also claimed by Islamic State in neighbouring France. Dr Brzeski accused Germany of 'self-censorship' when it reports on terror attacks and said 'there is nothing worse than self-censorship in journalism'. Munich was the scene of the bloodiest of the German attacks, on July 22, in which an 18-year-old German-Iranian gunman killed nine people. Wrona said it would have been easy for the Munich shooter to get a gun because of free movement in the EU and 'the whole Balkans are flooded with weapons'. Two of the assailants in the other attacks, a Syrian asylum seeker who blew himself up in Ansbach and a refugee from either Pakistan or Afghanistan who attacked people on a train in Bavaria, had links to Islamist militancy, officials say. The Munich gunman did not. Critics of Chancellor Angela Merkel have blamed the attacks on her open-door refugee policy, under which over a million migrants, many fleeing war in Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq, entered Germany in the past year. Merkel set out a nine-point plan on Thursday to respond to the attacks, including an early warning system for the radicalisation of refugees. But she refused to reverse her welcoming stance toward refugees. The German leader said the assailants 'wanted to undermine our sense of community, our openness and our willingness to help people in need'. 'We firmly reject this,' she said. Merkel repeated her rallying cry from last year when she opened the borders to people fleeing war and persecution, many from Syria, which brought nearly 1.1 million migrants and refugees to Germany in 2015. 'I am still convinced today that 'we can do it' - it is our historic duty and this is a historic challenge in times of globalisation,' she said. 'We have already achieved very, very much in the last 11 months.' President Joachim Gauck said he understood why many Germans were shaken after the attacks, but Germany would not submit to the assailants. 'They won't compel us to hate, like they hate,' he said. 'They won't hold us in the confinement of perpetual fear. We will remain what we are: a considerate, supportive society.'

‘Break the Cross’: Islamic State Magazine Mocks Christianity, Claims Jesus Is ‘a Slave of Allah’

by Frances Martel1 Aug 2016

In the latest issue of its English-language magazine Dabiq, the Islamic State calls on Christians to abandon Christianity, arguing that Jesus himself was “a slave of Allah” who will “wage jihad” upon returning to earth. The fifteenth issue of the magazine, titled “Break the Cross,” is dedicated to convincing Christians that Jesus was a prophet of Allah, was never crucified, and that most of the New Testament is a perversion of Jesus’s story orchestrated by St. Paul, a “criminal” “treacherous Jew” who gave up massacring Christians in order to subvert the religion from the inside. Its articles strive to depict Christianity as a pagan religion based on a false Jesus, arguing that the only true Jesus is the prophet of Islam. The feigned compassion towards Christians in most of the volume stands in stark contrast to the actions of the Islamic State’s terrorists towards Christian communities, which includes rape, torture, crucifixion, and slavery. In the issue’s Foreward, the editors make clear the intent of the magazine: the issue will help “Crusaders” “read into why Muslims hate and fight them, why pagan Christians should break their crosses, why liberalist secularists should return to the fitrah (natural human disposition), and why skeptical atheists should recognize their Creator and submit to Him.” “In essence, we explain why they must abandon their infidelity and accept Islam, the religion of sincerity and submission to the Lord of the heavens and the earth,” the editors write. Among their reasons are that Jesus himself is a “slave of Allah,” according to Ja’far, a cousin of Muhammad. “We say about him like our prophet taught us – that he is the slave of Allah, His messenger, His [chosen] spirit, and His word which He cast into the pure virgin Mary,” Ja’far is quoted as saying. The cover story, “Break the Cross,” argues that Jesus will do precisely that upon his return: “break the cross, kill the swine, and put aside the jizyah [infidels’ tax, assuming all the infidels will have been killed].” “The true religion of Jesus Christ is a pure monotheistic submission – called Islam… when he returns in the final days, the Messiah will adhere to the Law of Muhammad and wage jihad for the cause of Allah,” the article argues, citing Islamic doctrine. It makes the claim that, because there are four gospels, none of which are written by Jesus himself, no part of the New Testament is trustworthy, most of all the crucifixion.” “Jesus was not crucified,” the article argues, quoting Muhammad, who lived 600 years later. The claim that Jesus did not die on the cross appears in the Quran. As for St. Paul, he is referred to in turn as a “criminal” and “treacherous Jew” who “intentionally sought to deviate the monotheistic Nazarenes in order to tarnish Jesus’ name – even if it meant Paul’s own persecution.” The Holy Trinity being an essential concept of St. Paul’s writings is a form of polytheism, according to Islamic State jihadists, one intended to deceive Christians. The issue spends much of its time attempting to convert “Unitarians” – Christians who do not believe in the Holy Trinity – while arguing that these Christians were mostly purged by the Roman Church. It claim the “debate between Trinitarians and Unitarians reached the heights of popularity during the fourth century of the Christian calendar.” The issue ignores the continued existence of Unitarian churches, perhaps because the phrase in modern America has taken to mean any rejection of Trinitarianism, and the largest church identifying with the term in the United States, the Unitarian Universalist church, explicitly rejects imposing exclusively Christian doctrine on its members. The fifteenth Dabiq stands in stark contrast to its predecessor published in April, which featured a cover story condemning the Muslim Brotherhood and focused on condemning “apostate” Muslims, not those outside of Islam.

Franklin Graham rips pope over Islamic terror

'It's a religion that calls on soldiers to shout 'Allahu Akbar' as they behead, rape'

Published: 2 days ago author-image Bob Unruh

Franklin Graham, who heads up the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and the Samaritan’s Purse relief charity, has rebuked Pope Francis for saying that while the world is at war, the conflict has nothing to do with religion. “It most certainly is a war of religion,” Graham said in a posting on Facebook. CNN reported Francis said the world “is at war because it has lost peace.” “There is a war of interest, there is a war for money, a war for natural resources, a war to dominate people. Some might think it is a war of religion. It is not,” he said. “All religions want peace. Others want war,” the pope claimed. His statements came shortly after Islamic jihadists killed a Catholic priest in France. “ISIS Exposed: Beheadings, Slavery, and the Hellish Reality of Radical Islam” is veteran investigative reporter Erick Stakelbeck’s story of the true motivations, inner workings and future plans the new caliphate Graham said: “I agree that the world is at war – but I disagree that it’s not a war of religion. It is most certainly a war of religion.” He said religion “is behind the violence and jihad we’re seeing in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and here in this country.” “It’s a religion that calls for the extermination of ‘infidels’ outside their faith, specifically Jews and Christians. It’s a religion that calls on its soldiers to shout ‘allahu akbar’ [“Allah is supreme” in Arabic] as they behead, rape, and murder in the name of Islam. Radical Islamists are following the teachings of the Quran,” he wrote. “We should call it what it is.” Some Catholics don’t agree with their leader. Religion News Service reported U.S. Cardinal Raymond Burke, a former Vatican official who is based in Rome, said last month that Islam “wants to govern the world” and Americans must decide if they are going to reassert “the Christian origin of our own nation” to avoid submission to Muslim rule. WND reported Graham recently called out President Obama for refusing to recognize and acknowledge the threat from Islamic radicalism and terrorism. In a Facebook post at that time, Graham pointed out that Obama, in his statements about the Orlando, Florida, massacre by a radical Islamic terrorist at a bar for homosexuals, refused to call it an act of radical Islamic terrorism. Obama, throughout his presidency, has refused to say the words Islamic terrorism or radical Islamic terrorism. Often, he’s contended Islam actually is peaceful and those who carry out violence and terror against innocent victims in the name of Islam are perverting the faith. Graham, however, said it’s apparent Obama is wrong. “I appreciate President Barack Obama speaking to the nation yesterday in the wake of the Orlando massacre. He was right in saying that this tragic shooting was an act of terror and hate,” Graham wrote. “But why didn’t he say it was an act of radical Islamic terrorism?” “ISIS Exposed: Beheadings, Slavery, and the Hellish Reality of Radical Islam” is veteran investigative reporter Erick Stakelbeck’s story of the true motivations, inner workings and future plans the new caliphate “Mr. President, with all due respect, don’t forget Fort Hood; don’t forget the Boston Marathon; don’t forget San Bernardino; and don’t forget 9/11. What do they all have in common? They were all Islamic terrorists carrying out their treachery in the name of their religion.” Graham continued: “Mr. President, your administration has cut our military to the bone, and some experts say we’re the weakest we have been in modern times. It’s time we were rebuilding our military force worldwide to take on this enemy. It’s time we tighten America’s borders until we can clearly vet those we’re letting into the country. “Mr. President, how many more American lives have to be lost before you understand the threat radical Islam is to every freedom-loving person?” Obama called the attack by Omar Mateen, who in dialogue with police during the attack openly pledged allegiance to ISIS, “terror and an act of hate.” Obama claimed he wanted to “spare no effort to determine” Mateen’s “inspiration.” Then, Obama turned political, talking about gun control and whether the U.S. wants to be a country where it is “easy” for someone “to get their hands on a weapon that lets them shoot people in a school, or in a house of worship, or a movie theater, or in a nightclub.” Last year, Graham even called for a halt to immigration to prevent terrorists from being allowed into the country. “I think we should put a halt on immigration because our borders are broken, until we have a proper system to vet people,” he said to CNN’s Carol Costello. “I think all immigration, but especially those coming from the Middle East right now.”

UN Troops Training at a FEMA Camp-Martial Law Readiness Drills

By Dave Hodges

There is not a subject that I have written about over the last several years that I have received the most criticsm for than the topic of UN/foreign troops on American soil. To those who persist on engaging in cognitive dissonance, here is my answer to you, presented in a respectful manner. In 2012-13, I published many photos of Russian soldiers on American soil. Here is an example as these Russian soldiers, are pictured while training at Ft. Carson in Colorado Springs. Reports from Tennessee and Kentucky Then there is Sherrie Wilcox of Knoxville,TN. Sherrie has seen and photographed DHS armored vehicles back in March with Russian soldiers manning the vehicles in eastern Tennessee and Western Kentucky. The following video details how Russians are training in DHS vehicles. This was back in 2011. I could fill a book with examples of UN/Foreign troops on American soil. The abovementioned three examples are merely prepatory background material in order to lay the groundwork for the latest example of UN/Foreign troops on American soil. From WNEM TV in Michigan: Military units landing in Michigan for training Posted: Aug 01, 2016 “Military units from Michigan, Latvia, Canada and Poland are participating in August in training called Exercise Northern Strike. They’ll be in Michigan for the training that combines air and ground combat capability drills. The exercise starts Monday and runs through Aug. 20. The Michigan National Guard says the first few days are mostly buildup for the exercise before it gets into full swing Aug. 7. The Guard says about 5,000 military members will participate. Briefings will take place during the training at Camp Grayling and most of the military members involved will be operating from the camp or the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center. Live-fire exercises involving small arms, mortars, artillery and aerial are planned.” Camp Grayling Is a FEMA Camp Camp Grayling is a FEMA camp facility in Grayling, MI., and was the sight of martial law training for the Michigan National guard which commenced on July 15, 2015, during the Jade 15 Operation. This facility also houses hundred of UN military vehicles. The foreign troops training at the FEMA Camp facility, Camp Grayling, are clearly UN troops who are undoubtedly training for the inevitable. With regard to Obama’s latest July 1st executive order: United Nations “peacekeepers” may soon arrive and see action on American soil following the United States’ announcement of support for “a set of principles that give a green light for U.N. peacekeeping troops and police to use force to protect civilians in armed conflicts,” Military Times . This morning I received this email from an eyewitness to the treason going on at Camp Grayling. Dave, My Buddy Tim and I had an opportunity to take a Camp Grayling Open House Tour in June of 2015 and I have several video clips of something you folks are not talking about. The videos are of the Multi Million Dollar Urban Assault “Village” located on the Camp Grayling Reservation way out in the boonies. This is not the Middle East Assault Village also located on the reservation…it’s the USA Village; Church, Post Office, Bank and every building found in a Small Town USA. To show that this village is real; Youtube Search “OP Blacksheep @Camp Grayling” You can see some of the actual buildings. Anyway, I have an attached updated photos of the “Prison Camp” that was upgraded with new Buildings and Communications Tower; Military Tour Guide says “ATT Tower” Yeah Right just happens to be right on the front gate of a Prison Training Facility. Anyway, I want to snail mail a memory stick with everything I have, Videos, Stills, Satellite over time to show upgrading the prison site has undertaken. Bottom-line the govt is dumping million$ into this Camp Grayling, to include many-many new barracks buildings. THIS IS WHERE those TROOPS are TRAINING THIS SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bob Conclusion It has begun. There is no question that this odd collection of international troops training on US soil are UN troops regardless of what they call them. It is also highly suspicious that the foreign troop training is being held at a known FEMA Camp. Add in Obama’s most recent Executive Order that deals with UN troops subjugating US citizens is an interesting add-on. Just how many coincidences do we accept before every reasonable person has to admit what is really going on? There are other questions that need to be asked. Are these foreign troops here, at this time, to enforce martial law and prevent civil unrest from spreading when the election is cancelled. Are these troops here to engage in gun confiscation as per the UN Small Arms Treaty. Of course there are some that will point out that this is a multi-national military exercise preparing for World War III with Russia and China. At this time, I do not believe that this is the case. If this was really a World War III exercise, it would be held at a place like Fort Carson instead of at a known FEMA camp. Camp Grayling. Does anyone else feel the anticipation that the final showdown is drawing near?

Is It “Anti-Faith” To Prepare For The Coming Economic Collapse?

Posted on August 2, 2016 Written by Michael Snyder

Is It “Anti-Faith” To Prepare For The Coming Economic Collapse? Does being a prepper show a lack of faith in God? Should good Christians reject prepping altogether? Yesterday, someone actually accused me of being “anti-faith” because I am encouraging people to prepare for the coming economic collapse. This person believes that if I had faith, then I would make “no provision” for what is ahead and simply trust “in God’s providence alone”. So is that person right? Is it really “anti-faith” to prepare for the coming economic collapse? I spent quite a bit of time thinking about these questions today. Those that visit my site on a regular basis know that I am a Christian and I am very open about that fact. I am someone that places a very high value on faith. The Scriptures tell us to “trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding”. Without God, none of us has any hope. In fact, without God I would probably be dead by now. But faith is not about sitting on your couch and waiting for God to do everything for you. Rather, faith is about taking action on what God has directed you to do. What I don’t understand is why any of these Christians that are 100% against prepping continue to go to work. If we are to make “no provision” for ourselves and simply trust “in God’s providence alone”, then why do they need to earn a paycheck? Why can’t they just sit home and wait for God to fill up their bank accounts? Yes, God can do mind blowing supernatural things that require absolutely no participation on our part. I know, because it has happened to me. But the vast majority of the time, God works with us. He requires us to take steps of faith and obedience, and in the process He leads us, He guides us, He blesses us and He opens doors for us. The story of Noah is a perfect example of this. He was perhaps the very first “prepper”. God could have kept Noah and his family safe from the flood by transporting them to some sort of very comfortable “heavenly waiting area” and brought them back when everything was dry, but He didn’t do that. Instead, God warned Noah about what was coming and ordered him to build a boat. So did Noah just sit back and wait for God to do everything for Him? No, he exercised his faith by taking action. He believed the warning and he built a giant boat. In Hebrews 11:7, Noah is commended for his radical faith which produced radical action… By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith. Faith almost always involves action. God wants to see if we are going to believe Him and do what He has instructed us to do. And the amount of faith that Noah exhibited was staggering. The boat that he and his family built was approximately the size of a World War II aircraft carrier. It took a very, very long time to build that boat and collect all of the food and supplies for his family and for all of the animals. What happens if we lose power indefinitely — foods that require freezing or refrigeration for long term storage are going to go bad. Emergency food storage in advance will be the only way to feed yourself and your family. And surely Noah must have gotten very tired of all of the mocking as he warned everyone else about what was coming for decades. But in the end, Noah’s prepping paid off. He and his family were saved, and everyone else drowned. Unfortunately, there are lots of Christians out there today that are 100% against preparing for what is ahead, even though they will admit that an economic collapse is coming. The individual that accused me of being “anti-faith” is an example of this. The following is an excerpt from the message that this person wrote to me… Now, although I agree with you about the things you write about the corruption of the financial system, and that there will be a collapse, yet I do not agree with you in promoting people to be self-sufficient contrary to the Lord’s teaching. If you truly have God then no provision needs to be made at all for yourself, just trust in God’s providence alone. This individual agrees that a collapse is coming, but insists that we should do absolutely nothing to prepare for it. Is that really what God would have us do? In Genesis 41, God revealed to Joseph that there would be seven good years followed by seven lean years. So did Joseph party for seven years and “trust in God’s providence alone” for the lean years? No, Joseph engaged in an “emergency food storage project” unlike anything that the world had ever seen up until that point. By heeding God’s warning and taking action, he ended up saving the nation of Egypt and his entire family. Some people believe that preparing for hard times means that you are “fearful”, but I don’t see it that way at all. Rather, I believe that there is hope in understanding what is happening and that there is hope in getting prepared. The people that stick their heads in the sand right now are going to get blindsided by what is coming. Many of them will totally give in to despair when they realize that they have lost everything. I think that we would all benefit greatly by taking advantage of the wisdom found in Proverbs 6:6-11… Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest— and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man. You don’t prepare when the storm hits. Rather, you prepare while the storm is still off in the distance. Throughout the Scriptures, those that “prepare” are commended. For example, just check out the following parable of Jesus that we find in Matthew 25… “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’ “But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut. “Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’ “But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’ “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour. Do we want to be like the wise virgins or the foolish virgins? Yes, we never want to become obsessed with material things. We need to keep our priorities in order and focus on the things that are really important. But that doesn’t mean that we can all just sit on our couches, eat chips, and wait for God to do everything for us. In my opinion, we have been warned about the coming economic collapse in a multitude of different ways. At this point, what is coming should be glaringly obvious to anyone with half a brain. I am trying to do my best to warn people about what is coming from my little spot on the wall. In the Scriptures, those that are aware that a threat is coming are responsible for warning others about it. The following is a short excerpt from Ezekiel 33… Son of man, speak to your people and say to them: ‘When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman, and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people, then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not heed the warning and the sword comes and takes their life, their blood will be on their own head. Since they heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, their blood will be on their own head. If they had heeded the warning, they would have saved themselves. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person’s life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.’ Are you a watchman on the wall? Are you blowing your trumpet? That is one of the reasons why I work so hard on my articles. I hope that people will use them as a tool to help warn others about what is coming. Click here for more info. My goal is never to create fear. Rather, my goal is to wake people up and give them hope. Yes, very, very painful economic times are coming. Those that heed the warnings and diligently prepare will have a good chance of weathering the coming storm. (source) I honestly don’t know what those that have made absolutely no preparations are going to do.

DHS grants Syrians temporary amnesty

By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Monday, August 1, 2016

Homeland Security granted a new temporary amnesty Monday to more than 8,000 Syrians living in the U.S. right now, saying they can remain for up to 18 months longer no matter what their legal status.

Secretary Jeh Johnson issued “temporary protected status” to Syrians, saying that if they are in the U.S. as of Monday and continue to reside here permanently, they can apply for work permits and other documents to remain and live in the U.S. without fear of being ousted. His order applies to some 5,800 Syrians who were granted status under the original 2012 TPS program, and 2,500 new arrivals who don’t have a more permanent status here. “Syria’s lengthy civil conflict has resulted in high levels of food insecurity, limited access to water and medical care, and massive destruction of Syria’s infrastructure. Attacks against civilians, the use of chemical weapons and irregular warfare tactics, as well as forced conscription and use of child soldiers have intensified the humanitarian crisis,” Mr. Johnson said in announcing the new program. Those eligible for TPS include any Syrian illegal immigrants who have managed to sneak into or remain in the U.S. beyond their visa expirations over the last four years. TPS is intended to be humanitarian relief for those whose home countries face a massive natural disaster or war that makes returning both dangerous for the individual, and a potential burden for the home country’s government.

Tim Kaine Promoted the Group Federal Prosecutors Call “the Overt Arm of the Muslim Brotherhood”

This shows Kaine’s failure to take the threat of radical Islam seriously.

BY Bruce Cornibe · | July 26, 2016

Vice Presidential nominee and Virginia Senator Tim Kaine has held some notable positions throughout his political career (Mayor of Richmond, Governor of Virginia, etc.), and continues the tradition – serving as a Virginia Senator as well as a member of important national security teams such as the Senate Armed Services and the Senate Foreign Relations Committees. However, along with Kaine’s political experience lies a past filled with Islamist connections. Let’s take a look at Kaine’s associations with the Muslim Brotherhood affiliated Muslim American Society (MAS) as well as other Islamist groups. The Clarion Project provides some evidence of MAS’s Muslim Brotherhood background: Federal prosecutors said in 2008 that “MAS was founded as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America” and that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and MAS “omit reference to a shared background that limits their membership to those of a particular political bent, and undercuts their credibility.” In January 2012, Abdurrahman Alamoudi, an admitted U.S. Muslim Brotherhood operative that was convicted on terrorism-related charges in 2004, stated, “Everyone knows that MAS is the Muslim Brotherhood.” It’s important to note that the Muslim Brotherhood’s strategy for North America is about performing a “grand jihad in eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated.” The Brotherhood’s ultimate goals are to re-establish the Islamic caliphate and implement Sharia law. As Virginia’s Governor in 2007, Kaine spoke at the 5th Annual Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation event. MAS was described by U.S. federal prosecutors as the “overt arm” of the Muslim Brotherhood. Gates of Vienna reports that Kaine “stressed the need for people of all faith traditions to work together to overcome intolerance and bigotry[,]” a key message of the ‘interfaith dialogue’ movement – a movement which Islamists generally promote to conceal their true intentions of furthering Islam. Also in 2007, Kaine regrettably appointed MAS President Dr. Esam Omeish to Virginia’s Commission on Immigration (Omeish resigned shortly after). The Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) reveals some of Omeish’s radical proclivities: …online videos that show Omeish at rallies denouncing the invasion of Lebanon by the “Israeli war machine” and telling a crowd of Washington-area Muslims: “…you have learned the way, that you have known that the jihad way is the way to liberate your land.” The latter video was obtained exclusively by the Investigative Project on Terrorism and can be viewed on YouTube, along with another video that shows Omeish congratulating Palestinians for giving up their lives for the sake Allah. It’s alarming to think a man who has publicly advocated for jihad was picked by Kaine to influence immigration policy. And now Kaine’s a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee? Even years after the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development Trial in 2007, which exposed the Muslim Brotherhood’s plan for North America, Kaine continues to hang around Islamists. For example, in 2011, then Senate candidate Kaine spoke at an event organized by New Dominion PAC that presented Jamal Barzinji, a major U.S. Brotherhood leader, with a Lifetime Achievement award. Kyle Shideler for the Center for Security Policy details Barzinji’s impact for the Brotherhood and how his ‘achievements’ were anything but noble: Barzinji was one of the co-founders of the Muslim Brotherhood Think Tank known as the International Institute of Islamic Thought, located in Fairfax, Virginia. Barzinji was also a founding member of the Muslim Student’s Association (MSA), the founding general manager of the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), a member of the Majlis Ashura of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), and director of the SAFA Group, a network of charities and companies headquartered in Northern Virginia, and raided by federal authorities over funding to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Barzinji was also a founding member of the Association of Muslim Social Scientists of North America (AMSS) and Association of Muslim Scientists and Engineers (AMSE), both early Muslim Brotherhood organizations established out of the MSA. Whether Kaine’s ignorance or knowledge of these Muslim Brotherhood groups and figures led him to make these ill-advised decisions is up for debate, but one thing that’s clear is Kaine’s failure to take the threat of radical Islam seriously. Some examples of this failure to confront the dangers of radical Islam were exhibited in Kaine’s decision to boycott Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s March 2015 speech to Congress as well as efforts to delay the speech, Kaine’s support for Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) or the Iran deal, Kaine’s refusal to halt or pause the refugee resettlement program after the shootings in Paris in November of 2015, and the list continues. It’s obvious from Kaine’s record that he does not perceive political Islam as major threat to U.S. national security. We must have leaders that can identify subversive Islamists groups within the American political system such as the Muslim Brotherood – who not only want to gradually introduce Sharia law but also will build arguments that defend their jihadist co-religionists. It’s obvious Islamic law does not coincide with Western values since it inherently opposes freedom, liberty, and equality. Kaine must denounce these past associations with Islamist groups and seek their ouster from our political process if he wants to effectively guard our fundamental American freedoms.

From California to Nevada, wildfires burn in seven Western states

CBS/AP August 1, 2016, 9:08 PM

Wildfires were burning Monday in seven Western U.S. states, from California's famed Big Sur region to tribal towns and hamlets near Reno, Nevada. Evacuations were ordered in Montana, Nevada, Oregon and Wyoming and firefighters were trying to stop a Washington blaze from reaching a thickly forested security zone at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. Here's a look at some of the fires: CALIFORNIA Higher humidity and lower temperatures on Monday helped firefighters battle a destructive fire that has scorched more than 63 square miles near the scenic Big Sur coast, while firefighters in Central California faced blistering heat as they worked to contain a blaze that burned rural homes and forced hundreds of evacuations near the small Fresno County town of Prather. A layer of ocean air that arrived in the mountainous Big Sur region was credited for the better firefighting conditions in an area where a fire that started July 22 has destroyed 57 homes and 11 outbuildings and is threatening 2,000 more structures. A bulldozer operator working for the firefighting operation died in an accident last week.

http://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/3-homes-2-outbuildings-burned-in-goose-fire-as-firefight-continues 

The blaze near Prather damaged an undetermined number of 400 evacuated homes just outside the Sierra National Forest, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said. That fire started Saturday and by Monday had grown to nearly 3 square miles with just 15 percent of it cut off by firefighters from burning further. Just north of Los Angeles, a 65-square-mile wildfire in wilderness just north of Los Angeles was almost fully contained and only active with isolated pockets of vegetation burning within a perimeter firefighters established to prevent it from burning outside the zone. A man who refused to evacuate from a home was killed and the fire also prompted the evacuation of about 20,000 people. Some say the helicopters and planes flying high above the Goose Fire near Prather are like guardian angels, protecting people and homes from destruction, CBS affiliate KGPE reported. "It's unsettling, you worry about your neighbors," said Shane Mascherina, who lives close to the where the fire was burning Monday. Mascherina has been watching the fire move. "It came over last night, and dropped down a lot closer than I thought it would," he said. IDAHO A southwest Idaho wildfire burning timber in rugged terrain and pushed by winds grew to 60 square miles Monday. Temperatures in the 90s, wind and low humidity caused significant expansion on Sunday. Firefighting aircraft were grounded for about 45 minutes because of people flying their drones in the area, creating a potential hazard for the aircraft pilots. The fire closed a section of State Highway 21 between Idaho City and Lowman and destroyed two outbuildings. A firefighter suffered burns during the weekend when fuel spilled on his arm and it ignited. MONTANA Homes were burned by a fast-moving wildfire in the Bitterroot National Forest in western Montana, but forest officials said they did not know how many. Ravalli County authorities ordered residents of about 500 homes to evacuate or prepare to evacuate after the fire began Sunday afternoon southwest of Hamilton. It had burned nearly 5.5 square miles by Monday morning. "I've talked to homeowners who said we had 200-foot flames coming off those trees. This thing really blew up, and I've never seen anything like it in the years that I've been" with the Bitterroot National Forest, spokesman Tod McKay said. Ravalli County Sheriff Chris Hoffman said he could not immediately provide details about the number of homes or buildings destroyed. NEVADA About 800 firefighters were battling a series of fires that had threatened a tribal town and hamlets near Pyramid Lake, north of Reno. The fire zone totaled about 78 square miles Monday, said fire spokeswoman Jesse Bender. Residents of about 30 homes in Cottonwood Creek and Fish Springs Ranch were warned they would receive 30 minutes notice to evacuate if necessary. About 600 people were ordered out of the shoreline town of Sutcliffe over the weekend, and 200 were evacuated from beach areas. Flames destroyed six houses and mobile homes, two vehicles and several out-buildings at historic Hardscrabble Ranch, according to Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribal officials. OREGON Eastern Oregon residents urged to evacuate over the weekend because of a wildfire were allowed to return home. About 20 structures remained threatened by the fire east of the town of Pendleton, the Oregon Department of Forestry said. The East Oregonian reports that columns of smoke were rose Sunday after the blaze scorched about 500 acres of grass and timber along Interstate 84. It was 25 percent contained by Sunday evening. WASHINGTON A wildfire burning toward the Hanford Nuclear Reservation scorched about 110 square miles as it spread from Grant and Yakima counties into Benton County. The blaze was the largest of several wildfires burning in Eastern Washington and grew quickly after it started Saturday on the U.S. Army's Yakima Training Center, The Yakima Valley Herald reported. Firefighters were working to stop the flames from reaching a large wildland security zone maintained around a portion of the nuclear site. Hanford once made plutonium for nuclear weapons and is now undergoing a decades-long cleanup. The zone was designed to keep people away during World War II and the Cold War. It now serves mainly as a wildlife preserve. The Department of Energy said Monday on its website that Hanford work schedules were not immediately affected by the fire. A small section of Highway 24 near Hanford Reach remained temporarily closed due to that wildfire while evacuation orders were lifted at another wildfire burning about 1,000 acres outside the town of Prosser. Several campgrounds along the Naches River in central Washington were evacuated Sunday evening as fire burned in thick forest about 25 miles west of Yakima. About 25 homes in the area were also evacuated. WYOMING Firefighters made progress over the weekend in their effort to contain several fires burning in western part of the state. An approximately 2-square-mile blaze that destroyed eight homes and prompted the evacuation of about 140 others in southern Uinta County was 25 percent contained. Northwest of Dubois, a 21-square-mile blaze was 40 percent surrounded and some residents who evacuated seasonal homes were allowed to return. In neighboring Bridger-Teton National Forest, a fire that has burned about 45 square miles was 81 percent contained.

Powerful eruption of Rinjani sends ash 9.7 km a.s.l., Aviation Color Code on Red, Indonesia

Posted by TW on August 01, 2016 in categories Featured articles, Volcanoes

A sudden, powerful eruption occurred at Indonesia's Rinjani volcano (Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara) around 04:00 UTC on August 1, 2016. According to the Darwin VAAC, volcanic ash cloud at 04:20 UTC was observed reaching an altitude of 9.7 km (32 000 feet) a.s.l. and drifting south. The Aviation Color Code was increased to Red. The eruption forced the closure of Lombok International Airport. A number of domestic and international flights were canceled. The airport is expected to reopen on Tuesday, August 2. The last eruptive phase of this volcano took place from October to December 2015. Geological summary Rinjani volcano on the island of Lombok rises to 3726 m, second in height among Indonesian volcanoes only to Sumatra's Kerinci volcano. Rinjani has a steep-sided conical profile when viewed from the east, but the west side of the compound volcano is truncated by the 6 x 8.5 km, oval-shaped Segara Anak (Samalas) caldera. The caldera formed during one of the largest Holocene eruptions globally in 1257 CE, which truncated Samalas stratovolcano. The western half of the caldera contains a 230-m-deep lake whose crescentic form results from growth of the post-caldera cone Barujari at the east end of the caldera. Historical eruptions dating back to 1847 have been restricted to Barujari cone and consist of moderate explosive activity and occasional lava flows that have entered Segara Anak lake. (GVP)

Leftists at DNC: ‘Long Live Palestine,’ Destroy Israel, Support Black Lives Matter

by Brandon Darby26 Jul 2016

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania — The swelling numbers of leftist protesters surrounding the Democratic National Convention (DNC) are helping to lower the various groups’ inhibitions about showing their true intentions. Signs promoting Black Lives Matter can be seen waving next to signs calling for the destruction of Israel as the protesters chant, “Long live Palestine!” The association between groups supporting Black Lives Matter and groups wanting to end the existence of Israel were made abundantly clear in the crowd. Several signs called for a “Free Palestine from the river to the sea.” The crowd and the signs can be seen in the image above.

US poised to hit Obama's target of 10,000 Syrian refugees

By Kevin Freking And Alicia A. Caldwell, The Associated Press

Posted Aug. 5, 2016 at 5:08 AM Updated at 7:28 AM

WASHINGTON (AP) " After a slow start, it appears increasingly likely that the Obama administration will hit its goal of admitting 10,000 Syrian refugees into the United States before the end of September. State Department figures show that 2,340 Syrian refugees arrived last month in the United States. That's more than what occurred during the entire seven months after President Barack Obama directed his team to prepare for 10,000 admissions from the war-torn country. Total admissions for the current budget year, which ends Sept. 30, now come to about 7,900, and the vast majority of them are Sunni Muslims, records show. If the pace from June and July continues this month, the target should be reached with a couple weeks to spare before Obama heads to the United Nations to urge world leaders to admit more refugees and to increase funding for relief organizations. The U.N. General Assembly is holding a summit to address the large movements of refugees and migrants that stems primarily from conflicts in the Middle East and Africa. Obama would have been hard-pressed to make the case for other countries to do more with the U.S. failing to reach a goal that amounts to only about 2 percent of the 480,000 Syrian refugees in need of resettlement. Organizations that help relocate Syrian refugees said the White House and other administration officials have grown increasingly confident of hitting the target. "They put more resources on it, which is allowing more individual's to be processed and therefore able to travel," said Stacie Blake, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, one of nine groups that help resettle Syrian refugees. Obama's call for 10,000 entries this year was criticized by most Republican governors and the GOP presidential candidates, who argued that the government lacked an adequate screening system to prevent suspected terrorists from slipping into the U.S. Extremist attacks in Europe and the U.S. have increased concerns about immigration. An Associated Press-GfK poll conducted in early July showed that 69 percent of Republicans say they favor the temporary ban on Muslim immigration. Overall, Americans opposed such a ban by a margin of 52 percent to 45 percent. Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., sent a letter to Obama on Thursday calling on him to stop accepting Syrian refugees as a matter of national security. "We are seeing a clear pattern in which a number of recent attacks have been carried out by ISIS terrorists with ties to Syria," Buchanan said, using one of the acronyms for the Islamic State group. He cited the killing of a French priest, the murder of a German woman with a machete and a bombing at a German music festival as examples. The White House has emphasized that the screening process for refugees takes 12 months to 18 months and includes in-person interviews and a review of biographical and biometric information. The administration also has said it is focused on bringing in refugees who are in the most desperate situations, such as families with children and those in need of medical care. In the year prior to Obama's new target, the U.S. accepted about 1,680 Syrian refugees. Secretary of State John Kerry, speaking with reporters during a visit to Buenos Aires, Argentina, said the United States has developed "sufficient methods" of screening would-be refugees. "We are very comfortable that we are bringing people in who will be a great plus to our country." Kerry said. Kerry said that "not one event in the United States, of terror" has been committed by a refugee allowed to resettle in the U.S. But two Iraqi refugees were arrested in 2011 for plotting to send weapons and money to al-Qaida operatives fighting against U.S. troops back in Iraq. The scheme was foiled, but the case did leave jitters about whether extremists could slip in among the Syrian refugees. "We believe ... the people who are fleeing Syria are the most harmed by terrorism. They are parents. They are children. They are orphans," Kerry said. "It is very important that we do not close our hearts to the victims of such violence." Kerry also applauded Argentina's pledge to resettle 3,000 Syrian refugees in the South American country and said the United States is committed to working with the government there on security issues. Caldwell reported from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

I will no longer stand with her neither will my blessing be upon her, then shall come to pass in my timing, the twenty four hour period of Babylon’s destruction. For you have not a leader of this country who follows my word or ways. They have gone the ways of the antichrist system and forsaken the religion of their forefathers of days gone by. etc..

U.S. Navy to name ship after homosexual child-predator Harvey Milk

Posted on August 5, 2016 by Dr. Eowyn | 3 Comments

Sam LaGrone reports for USNI (U.S. Naval Institute) News, July 28, 2016:

The Navy is set to name a ship after the [late] gay rights icon and San Francisco politician Harvey Milk, according to a Congressional notification obtained by USNI News. The July 14, 2016 notification, signed by Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, indicated he intended to name a planned Military Sealift Command fleet oiler USNS Harvey Milk (T-AO-206). The ship would be the second of the John Lewis-class oilers being built by General Dynamics NASSCO in San Diego, Calif. The Secretary of the Navy’s office is deferring releasing additional information until the naming announcement, a Navy official told USNI News on Thursday. Mabus has said the John Lewis-class – named after civil rights activist and congressman Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) – would be named after civil rights leaders. Other names in the class include former Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren whose court ruled to desegregate U.S. schools, former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, women’s right activist Lucy Stone and abolitionist and women’s rights activist Sojourner Truth. US Navy ships to be named after these people Mabus has also named ships in the past for other civil rights icons, including the Lewis and Clark-class dry cargo ships USNS Medgar Evers (T-AKE-13) and USNS Cesar Chavez (T-AKE-14). Milk came from a Navy family and commissioned in the service in 1951. He served as a diving officer in San Diego during the Korean War on the submarine rescue ship Kittiwake until 1955. Milk was honorably discharged from the service as a lieutenant junior grade. Following his service, Milk was elected to the San Francisco board of supervisors and was the first openly gay California politician to be elected to office. He was killed in office in 1978. When Milk was shot he was wearing his U.S. Navy diver’s belt buckle. Over the last several years, there have been pushes from California politicians to have a ship named for Milk since the 2011 repeal of the Department of Defense’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” policy. Naming a ship after Milk, “will further send a green light to all the brave men and women who serve our nation that honesty, acceptance and authenticity are held up among the highest ideals of our military,” said Milk’s nephew Stuart Milk in a statement to San Diego LGBT Weekly in 2012. What neither Stuart Milk nor the U.S. Naval Institute News would tell you is that Harvey Milk was a pederast — defined by the Cambridge Dictionary as an adult “man who has illegal sex with a young boy”. From Wikipedia: [Harvey Bernard] Milk was born [on May 22, 1930] in Woodmere, New York, to William Milk and Minerva Karns. He was the younger son of Lithuanian Jewish parents and the grandson of Morris Milk, a department store owner[4][5] who helped to organize the first synagogue in the area…. [In 1964, when Milk was 34 years old,] He started a romantic relationship with Jack Galen McKinley, and recruited him to work on conservative Republican Barry Goldwater‘s 1964 presidential campaign.[13] Their relationship was troubled. When McKinley first began his relationship with Milk in late 1964, he [McKinley] was 16 years old.[14] A 16-year-old boy is a minor, which means Secretary of Navy Ray Mabus and the U.S. Navy under Barack Obama deem it appropriate to name a ship after a homosexual predator of children.

Joel Osteen’s Fake, Heretical ‘Christianity’ Isn’t Any Better Than Atheism

Aug. 4, 2016 2:46pm Matt Walsh

If you don’t pay attention to where you’re going on the internet, you may accidentally expose yourself to some terribly objectionable content. I’m usually very careful about that, but yesterday I let my guard down for just a moment and I ended up reading a Joel Osteen tweet. I don’t follow the famous motivational speaker on Twitter, but someone I do follow happened to retweet one of his self-esteem boosting quips. It said: When you can give God praise even when life doesn’t make sense, then He will release you into a new level of your destiny. — Joel Osteen (@JoelOsteen) July 30, 2016 I was confused. Release me into a new level of my destiny? What does that mean? And is this a reliable guarantee? If I praise God enough, can I be quite confident that I will ascend to this graduated plane of existence where greater success and fortune awaits? What can be said, then, about the people who are not at that level? Have they simply failed to be grateful? Are all the people at the higher level more grateful than the ones at the lower level? Still, I was compelled by some dark force to click on the good pastor’s Twitter page and read more of these morsels. As I skimmed, I learned, among other things, that “if I get rid of the negative” then “God will fill my life with good things,” and that I must “break out in my thinking” so that I won’t be “kept from my destiny,” and that if I “live in my faith” very soon “all of my dreams will come to pass,” and that I can only “go forward” if I don’t “focus on the negative,” and that “if I have a positive mindset” then “I can’t be defeated,” and that “the fuel I need to accomplish my dreams, release my potential, and overcome obstacles is the anointing on my life.” I’m fairly sure that last one actually makes no sense. It’s almost like a bunch of random buzzwords from a Joel Osteen word search were strung together haphazardly. This is common with prosperity preachers. Lacking the truth, they tend sometimes to descend into utter incoherence, pouring out of their smiling mouths a verbal smoothie of faintly spiritual cliches. But there are some words that never seem to make it into the smoothie. If you listen closely to all the self-help mumbo jumbo spewed by these heretics, you may notice the glaring absence of certain crucial terms; terms that any pastor ought to be shouting proudly and with great regularity. For one thing, you won’t hear ”Christ.” Neither will you hear “sin.” Or redemption, sacrifice, atonement, repentance, Bible, etc. Prosperity preachers are notoriously hesitant to share the spotlight with Jesus. They’d rather keep all the attention centered on the self — their own selves, specifically – and some vague “god” character, who, according to their mythology, is a genie-like figure who shows up to grant wishes before returning to his magic lamp. In Osteen’s case, I saw that he sends out one or two tweets a day, and almost none of them mention anything about Jesus or Scripture. I brought this to the Osteen’s attention and he responded by blocking me. Dozens of people told me they’d been treated similarly when they asked the “pastor” why he doesn’t ever invite Christ into his “Christian” ministry. Apparently, not only does Osteen refuse to talk about Our Lord, but he will block anyone who so much as utters His Holy Name. You know, just like Scripture commands: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of self-help and positivity, and lo, if any evildoer mentions the Lord, thou shalt blocketh him and runneth to thine safe space.” — The Gospel according to Joel. Of course, Joel Osteen and his fellow prosperity “pastors” have many defenders. Osteen’s “church” is the biggest in the country for a reason. It’s so big that his entire congregation would only barely be able to fit into his enormous mansion if they were all invited over for dinner. Obviously Osteen is connecting with people. A man must be very good at connecting with people if he can cash in on their loyalty to the tune of $40 million, buy a 17,000 square foot castle and a few other properties, and somehow still convince his flock to donate to him. (Yes, it’s true that Jesus said ”whoever has will be given more,” but I don’t think this is what he meant.) So when I criticized Osteen yesterday, I received a number of chastising emails in response. Many of the defenses offered were biblically illiterate and absurd, but one common theme emerged from most of them. I was told that we should not discourage people from listening to Osteen and his ilk because “at least they’re getting some Christianity.” It may not be perfectly pure of orthodox, but at least the adherents to the Prosperity Gospel are adhering to some kind of Gospel. It’s better that they be given milquetoast, self-help Christianity than no Christianity. Osteen may not be bringing people all the way into the truth, I’m informed, but he is bringing a lot of people closer to it than they would be otherwise. Osteen’s Christianity is, then, a sort of stepping stone or farm team for the more authentic variety. He’s an ally, not an enemy. And although he may not talk about Christ or call his followers to repentance, it’s not like he’s saying anything actively harmful. He’s telling people to be happy, act nice, and think positive. What’s wrong with that? It’s better than nothing, isn’t it? Well, this is my answer: No, it’s not better than nothing. Nothing — no faith at all, even a passionate hostility to faith — is vastly preferable to a faith in a perverted Christianity. An atheist is easier to save than a heretic. Put another way, it’s better for someone to reject Christ than to make up their own version of Him. It’s better for someone to hate the true God than to construct a fake one out of pieces of the real one and fall in love with their creation. It is better for us to be one or the other — Christian or not — than to find some supposed middle ground in between. As the book of Revelation puts it: “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.” Prosperity preachers make worldly happiness and success into the ultimate goal. In fact, they teach us that faith is a means to that goal. Whereas Christians are meant to seek ye first the Kingdom (Matthew 6:33), prosperity Christians seek ye first themselves and their own contentment. GK Chesterton said that our religion is a love affair with Christ. Joel Osteen says that our religion is love affair with ourselves. What he and his colleagues in the Prosperity racket preach is, therefore, nothing less than theological masturbation. This “seek ye first your own happiness” mantra isn’t “almost” what the Bible says. It’s literally the exact opposite. Scripture tells us repeatedly, over and over and over again, that our faith will bring us suffering in this life. “Everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (2 Timothy). ”You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved” (Matthew 10). Persecution and hatred aren’t merely potential outcomes of following Christ — they’re guarantees. There is a reason why the Bible uses words like “will” and “everyone,” not “some people” and “perhaps.” That doesn’t mean we can’t be happy here, but it does mean that temporal happiness here on Earth is not the point. It’s not why we were made. It’s not why we were baptized. It’s not why Christ died on the cross. We must be willing to sacrifice that Earthly happiness, and to embrace pain and loss and misfortune and even death, for the sake of something far greater. That is the fundamental message of Christianity, and anything that is merely “close to it” is automatically a billion miles away from it. And it’s better for people who are a billion miles away to know they’re a billion miles away than to think they’re standing right beside it. Jesus asked, “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?” Joel Osteen asks, “What does it profit a man to gain his soul, yet forfeit the world?” Jesus wants you to have your best life in the world to come. Joel Osteen wants you to have your best life now. The latter philosophy in both cases is certainly not true Christianity, and it’s not in the proximity of true Christianity. It’s actually about as far away as you can get before you start traveling back to it again. Here’s the thing: We all feel a longing for something. We all yearn for fulfillment, for happiness. We are all thirsty. We are all hungry. And in that hunger and that thirst, that longing, we will feel a certain amount of suffering and even despair. Jesus tells us that feeling is there for a reason, not to be afraid of it, but to come to Him to be satiated. He is the bread of life (John 6:35). But so long as we live as sinners in this fallen world, we will not be completely and permanently satiated. We will stumble and fall and feel that emptiness once more, and then we will return to Him lost and hungry and penitent, and this process will continue until we can finally drink directly from “the spring of the water of life” in Paradise. Until then, we will cry in agony to the Lord out of the depths of our sin, and the more we hunger and thirst for the eternal cup, the better off we will be. And the more we reject sinful pleasure and indulgence, the more acutely we will feel the pain of our separation from Him. The worst thing we can possibly do in the mean time is try and fill that hole in our hearts and numb the pain in our souls with something other than Christ; to try and drown out the sadness and misery of our sin with “positive thoughts” and desperate hopes that our “destiny” will lead us to wealth and fortune right around the corner. That is why I say it’s more hazardous to subscribe to Joel Osteen’s Christianity than to subscribe to no Christianity at all. Joel Osteen wants to satiate the hunger and cure the sadness with false and selfish hopes. But it is better to live hungry and sad — as many atheists do — than to be filled with lots of sugar and happy thoughts and a contorted theology that attempts to grasp the joy of Christianity without any of the necessary pain and sacrifice. It’s better to yearn for Christ without knowing that He is the one for which you yearn than to feel no yearning for Christ because you think you have Him when you don’t, or that you’re “close enough” anyway. There is only one thin wall that separates God from the atheist who desires truth but hates the Answer. There is a whole labyrinth of walls and locked doors separating God from the “Christian” who no longer desires truth because he found self-esteem and “positive thinking” instead. Giving the Prosperity Gospel to our culture is like giving diet pills to a starving man. Yes, he will no longer feel the pangs in his gut, but he is still dying all the same. And dying faster now, in fact. We should eat the Bread of Life or not eat at all, and that should be our message to the world. The Bread of Osteen is indeed the option in between those two extremes, and that is what makes it so dangerous. Listen to Matt’s latest podcast here.

A Biotracker Implantable In The Skin Just Got $7.5 Million In Government Grant Money For Super Soldiers Monitoring

August 4, 2016 by SkyWatch Editor

The San Francisco-based outfit has been tapped by U.S. Department of Defense agencies to develop health-tracking systems for soldiers. The $7.5 million grant was awarded jointly by DARPA and the U.S. Army Research Office (ARO). Its implantable biosensors will be used to continuously monitor the body chemistry of soldiers, which they hope will contribute to the enhancement of mission efficiency. But Profusa’s stated aim has more to do with health monitoring, and less to do with tin-foil hat surveillance; they want to help transform health monitoring from a yearly doctor’s visit to a constant conversation between health tracking technology, patients, and medical professionals. All you’ll need is a biosensor and a smartphone application. The real-time tracking is done using tiny flexible biosensors all of 500 microns in diameter and between 3 and 5 millimeters in length. The sensors are tissue-integrated, which means that they aren’t separated from surrounding body tissue using protective material of any kind. This is significant because Profusa’s bioengineering approach manages to overcome what’s known as “foreign body response”, the inflammatory response induced when a prosthesis or medical device is implanted in the body.

NIH Plans To Lift Ban On Research Funds For Part-Human, Part-Animal Embryos

3:52

August 4, 20169:01 AM ET Rob Stein Heard on All Things Considered

The federal government announced plans Thursday to lift a moratorium on funding of certain controversial experiments that use human stem cells to create animal embryos that are partly human. The National Institutes of Health is proposing a new policy to permit scientists to get federal money to make embryos, known as chimeras, under certain carefully monitored conditions. The NIH imposed a moratorium on funding these experiments in September because they could raise ethical concerns. One issue is that scientists might inadvertently create animals that have partly human brains, endowing them with some semblance of human consciousness or human thinking abilities. Another is that they could develop into animals with human sperm and eggs and breed, producing human embryos or fetuses inside animals or hybrid creatures. But scientists have argued that they could take steps to prevent those outcomes and that the embryos provide invaluable tools for medical research. For example, scientists hope to use the embryos to create animal models of human diseases, which could lead to new ways to prevent and treat illnesses. Researchers also hope to produce sheep, pigs and cows with human hearts, kidneys, livers, pancreases and possibly other organs that could be used for transplants. To address the ethical concerns, the NIH's new policy imposes several restrictions. The policy proposes prohibiting the introduction of certain types of human cells into embryos of nonhuman primates, such as monkeys and chimps, at even earlier stages of development than what was currently prohibited. The extra protections are being added because these animals are so closely related to humans. But the policy would lift the moratorium on funding experiments involving other species. Because of the ethical concerns, though, at least some of the experiments would go through an extra layer of review by a new, special committee of government officials. That committee would, for example, consider experiments designed to create animals with human brain cells or human brain tissue. Scientists might want to create them to study neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. But the experiments would undergo intensive scrutiny if there's any chance there might be a "substantial contribution" or "substantial functional modification" to an animal's brain. In addition, the NIH would even consider experiments that could create animals with human sperm and human eggs since they may be useful for studying human development and infertility. But in that case steps would have to be taken to prevent the animals from breeding. "I am confident that these proposed changes will enable the NIH research community to move this promising area of science forward in a responsible manner," Carrie Wolinetz, the NIH's associate director for science policy, wrote in a blog post. "At the end of the day, we want to make sure this research progresses because its very important to our understanding of disease. It's important to our mission to improve human health," she said in an interview with NPR. "But we also want to make sure there's an extra set of eyes on these projects because they do have this ethical set of concerns associated with them." Several scientists said they are thrilled by the new policy. "It's very, very welcome news that NIH will consider funding this type of research," says Pablo Ross, a developmental biologist at the University of California, Davis, trying to grow human organs in farm animals. "We need funding to be able to answer some very important questions." But critics denounced the decision. "Science fiction writers might have imagined worlds like this — like The Island of Dr. Moreau, Brave New World, Frankenstein," says Stuart Newman, a biologist at New York Medical College. "There have been speculations. But now they're becoming more real. And I think that we just can't say that since it's possible then let's do it." The public has 30 days to comment on the proposed new policy. NIH could start funding projects as early as the start of 2017.

Iran Is Cheating on the Nuclear Deal, Now What?

by Majid Rafizadeh August 4, 2016 at 4:00 am

One year into the nuclear deal, two credible and timely intelligence reports reveal that Iran has no intention of honoring the terms of the deal, which, anyway, it never signed. Germany's domestic intelligence agency revealed that the Iranian government has pursued a "clandestine" path to obtain illicit nuclear technology and equipment from German companies "at what is, even by international standards, a quantitatively high level." A secret agreement, obtained by the Associated Press, discloses that Iran's nuclear deal would not only lift constraints on Iran's nuclear program after the nuclear deal, but it will also do so long before the deal expires -- including the installation of thousands of centrifuges, five times more than what it currently possesses, as well enriching uranium at a much higher pace. The more the White House ignores Iran's violations of the nuclear accord, the more Iran will be emboldened to violate international laws and the terms of the nuclear agreement. On July 14, 2015, Iran and the six world powers known as the P5+1 (China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, The deal was intended to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions and put a hold on Tehran's nuclear development. President Obama promised that the deal is not based on trust rather anchored in verification. Nevertheless, the following revelations of confidential documents as well as the following breaches of the nuclear agreement by Iran, reveal otherwise. On paper, the nuclear agreement, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), stipulates a series of regulations, monitoring mechanisms, and restrictions on Iran's nuclear activities. But how can the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) maintain these transparency standards and follow through on the proposed regulations? How can the IAEA be sure to detect all illicit nuclear activities in the 18th largest country in the world? Iran has a history of deceiving the IAEA by conducting clandestine nuclear activities, as it did in Arak, Natanz, and Ferdow. One of the primary concerns about the agreement is that the Iranian government could easily pursue a covert program after reaping the benefits of the deal -- the removal of four rounds of international sanctions that were imposed by the members of the UN Security Council, resumption of oil sales at any level that Iran desires, rejoining the global financial system, and obtaining billions of dollars of frozen assets and accumulated interest. One year into the nuclear deal, two credible and timely intelligence reports reveal that Iran has no intention of honoring the terms of the deal, which, anyway, it never signed. Germany's domestic intelligence agency, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, revealed in its annual report that the Iranian government has pursued a "clandestine" path to obtain illicit nuclear technology and equipment from German companies "at what is, even by international standards, a quantitatively high level." The intelligence report also stated that "it is safe to expect that Iran will continue its intensive procurement activities in Germany using clandestine methods to achieve its objectives." Even German Chancellor Angela Merkel criticized Iran and emphasized the significance of these findings, in a statement to the German Parliament. Although Germany did not state exactly what Iran was trying to buy, another detailed report by the Institute for Science and International Security appear to shed light on that topic. The report stated: "The Institute for Science and International Security has learned that Iran's Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI) recently made an attempt to purchase tons of controlled carbon fiber from a country. This attempt occurred after Implementation Day of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The attempt to acquire carbon fiber was denied by the supplier and its government. Nonetheless, the AEOI had enough carbon fiber to replace existing advanced centrifuge rotors and had no need for additional quantities over the next several years, let alone for tons of carbon fiber. This attempt thus raises concerns over whether Iran intends to abide by its JCPOA commitments. In particular, Iran may seek to stockpile the carbon fiber so as to be able to build advanced centrifuge rotors far beyond its current needs under the JCPOA, providing an advantage that would allow it to quickly build an advanced centrifuge enrichment plant if it chose to leave or disregard the JCPOA during the next few years. The carbon fiber procurement attempt is also another example of efforts by the P5+1 to keep secret problematic Iranian actions." The report, which was written by Andrea Stricker and David Albright (former United Nations IAEA nuclear inspector ), explains that the Iranian government is required to request permission from a UN Security Council panel for "purchases of nuclear direct-use goods." Another critical issue is the revelation about a secret agreement, obtained by the Associated Press, which discloses that Iran's nuclear deal would not only lift constraints on Iran's nuclear program after the nuclear deal, but it will also do so long before the deal expires. According to the secret agreement, the deal would pave the way for Iranian leaders to advance their nuclear capabilities at a higher level and even be capable of reducing nuclear weapons breakout capability from one year to six months, long before the nuclear agreement ends. The Obama Administration has not made this document public yet. A diplomat, who works on Iran's nuclear program and who asked for anonymity, shared the secret document with the Associated Press: "The diplomat who shared the document with the AP described it as an add-on agreement to the nuclear deal. But while formally separate from that accord, he said that it was in effect an integral part of the deal and had been approved both by Iran and the US, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany, the six powers that negotiated the deal with Tehran." This document suggests that Iran can install thousands of centrifuges, five times more than what it currently possesses, as well enrich uranium at much higher pace, also long before the agreement expires. According to the Associated Press: "Centrifuges churn out uranium to levels that can range from use as reactor fuel and for medical and research purposes to much higher levels for the core of a nuclear warhead. From year 11 to 13, says the document, Iran can install centrifuges up to five times as efficient as the 5,060 machines it is now restricted to using. "Those new models will number less than those being used now, ranging between 2,500 and 3,500, depending on their efficiency, according to the document. But because they are more effective, they will allow Iran to enrich at more than twice the rate it is doing now." The Associated Press adds: "The document also allows Iran to greatly expand its work with centrifuges that are even more advanced, including large-scale testing in preparation for the deal's expiry 15 years after its implementation on Jan. 18. ... The document is the only secret text linked to last year's agreement between Iran and six foreign powers. It says that after a period between 11 to 13 years, Iran can replace its 5,060 inefficient centrifuges with up to 3,500 advanced machines. Since those are five times as efficient, the time Iran would need to make a weapon would drop from a year to six months." More importantly, this document and the rest of the nuclear agreement still do not explain what are the rules on Iran's nuclear proliferation after the 13 years are over. The only interpretation would be that since there is no restriction indicated, Iran will be then be free to do what it desires when it comes to its nuclear program, including installing advanced centrifuges, enriching uranium, and obtaining a nuclear bomb. Iran protested the disclosure of these documents. Last week, the spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), Behrouz Kamalvandi, said that "the parts [of the document] published were confidential and were supposed to remain so. ... Our assumption is that it has been leaked by the (International Atomic Energy) Agency." AEOI head Ali Akbar Salehi pressed on the secrecy of these documents "We do not intend to make this plan known to the public and (IAEA)'s action is a breach of promise." This also shows that President Obama wanted the Congress to sign a deal that was not fully disclosed. Another problem with the nuclear agreement is the procedure that was put in place in case Iran violated the deal. On paper, the nuclear agreement indicates that sanctions would be re-imposed on Iran. President Obama repeatedly stated that the sanctions could be quickly and easily re-imposed if Iran violated the terms of the agreement. However, it's not really that simple. Once the four rounds of sanctions have been lifted, it would require the approval of all five members of the UN Security Council each to re-impose one round of sanctions. It goes without saying that getting the approval of China and Russia would not be as easy as Mr. Obama made it sound. What has been President Obama's reaction to these crucial intelligence reports? Silence. The administration continues to disregard and dodge questions regarding this issue. When asked about the German intelligence report and the Institute for Science and International Security report, a State Department spokesman said, "we have absolutely no indication that Iran has procured any materials in violation of the JCPOA." The more the White House ignores Iran's violations of the nuclear accord, the more Iran will be emboldened to violate international laws and the terms of the nuclear agreement.

Warning issued for prison guards, officers about possible attacks from 'Black Guerilla Family'

By Dan Noyes Wednesday, August 03, 2016 12:00AM

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- A previous version of this story incorrectly identified Jerry Elster as a former member of BGF. We regret the error. He currently works as the Healing Justice Coordinator for American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), a Quaker organization devoted to service, development and peace programs throughout the world. An urgent bulletin is going out to law enforcement Wednesday, warning of a new threat of attacks against officers on the street and in prisons. It has to do with what's called Black August. I-Team Reporter Dan Noyes has a source in law enforcement that leaked the bulletin to him. He wants you to understand the potential dangers officers are f-acing. In his words, when it hits the fan, you'll know the reason why. The Federal Bureau of Prisons, Sacramento Intelligence Unit and the FBI's National Gang Intelligence Center have issued a bulletin to law enforcement, warning of increased risk for violence during Black August. The prison gang Black Guerilla Family or BGF started Black August in the 1970's as a month to honor fallen members. One of the biggest, Hugo Pinell served 46 years in solitary confinement after a San Francisco rape conviction, after killing a prison guard, and slashing the throats of two other guards who survived during an escape attempt in 1971. Former San Quentin inmate Jerry Elster remembers Pinell as a freedom fighter. "When I went to prison at 20 years old, there was somebody there to remind me not to compromise my integrity," Elster said. Last summer, just 12 days after corrections finally released Pinell from solitary, he was stabbed to death in a riot at state prison Sacramento. The bulletin says the Black Guerilla Family believes state prisons worked with the Aryan Brotherhood to Kill Pinell. At the very least, Elster believes the state had a duty to protect Pinell. "I mean, it's only those who are charged with authority and protection, of protecting and housing of Hugo Pinell who have to bear that responsibility," Elster said. The bulletin warns an inmate source: "Claims the BGF has a 2-for-1 kill policy." That the BGF is "going to kill correctional officers and Aryan Brotherhood gang members to send a firm message. And the attacks will occur across the country, not just in California, and will likely occur during the BGF's memorial celebration of Black August. The Bureau of Prisons and the FBI declined to comment for this report, so I showed the bulletin to retired FBI special agent Rick Smith. "I think it's serious. They put that bulletin out, they don't want to be caught with something happening with the information they have and not disseminating it," he said. Also included in the bulletin is the FBI's Baltimore office reports, "BGF members reportedly discussed how they could ambush law enforcement officers who were parked in alleys or side streets." It also mentions the San Francisco Bay View newspaper for publishing articles, "suggesting California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation responsibility for Pinell's murder, and promoting Black August celebrations as a platform for action." Bay View editor Mary Ratcliff is surprised her newspaper is named in the bulletin, but is worried about the message. "This statement from the department of justice puts black people in danger," Ratcliff said. "Because it is promoting the idea that there is a war going on between black people and law enforcement." The bulletin also includes a drawing from the newspaper by a BGF member, showing the logo and a gorilla eating a pig. Ratcliff downplays the reference to violence against police officers. "A depiction like that is a release, it's yeah, go for it, that's how I feel. Now, I don't have to do it," she said. Smith from the FBI tells me this bulletin does not come as news to officers, in prison or on the streets. They know how dangerous their jobs have become. This is yet another heads up.

Expert Warns Of 'America Split In Half' - If Election Is 'Stolen', Will We See Civil War Upon US Soil? Globalists Prepare For The Steal As 'Hillary's Body Count' Grows Again!

August 5, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

"I wouldn't be surprised to see this country split in half." Harry Dent We have reported over and over and over again on All News Pipeline that the globalists who long ago hijacked America on the way to our nations deathbed have no intention whatsoever of allowing Donald Trump or ANY OTHER 'America 1st' president into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and we're now getting much more proof that our warnings have been right on target. Between a recent announcement by the 'terrorist-supporter-in-chief' Barack Obama himself that Donald Trump is 'unfit to serve' as president and Trump is 'woefully unprepared to do this job," we have to publicly ask Obama, does being 'fit for duty' mean that whoever takes your place is ready to arm our ISIS enemies who want to slaughter us? If that's the case, it's quite clear why Obama is backing Hillary Clinton - Clinton has proven that she is more than ready to have Americans killed. Besides the fact that Clinton already has a lengthy record as a war criminal, and clearly has American blood on her evil hands, Clinton has been outed again and again as arming those who are now killing innocent people around the world. Yet Americans are still prepared to put her into office? As we hear in the final video below, 5 more names have recently been added to the 'Clinton body count' in just the last 6 weeks including an activist by the name of Shawn Lucas who mysteriously died soon after serving the DNC with a fraud lawsuit. Seriously! What more can we say? As our videographer tells us, Hillary's globalists now appear to be on an 'all-out killing spree'. If All News Pipeline winds up mysteriously dead in the near future, you can be sure, 'Killary' killed us. We certainly have no intention whatsoever of doing ourselves or anybody else any harm. As Michael Snyder asks in this story at "End Of The American Dream", will Barack Obama attempt to stay in office if Donald Trump wins the election in less than 100 days? In the 1st video below we hear from Gary Franchi of the Next News Network along with Harry Dent who discuss a very real but horrifying possibility: Civil war breaking out upon American soil. Dent shares that Trump might even lose the election and take millions of Americans with him to form 'Trump nation'. If Obama attempted to subvert the US Constitution and ignore the legal will of the American people, would that make him our first 'dictator'? Certainly in so doing, all rule of law would officially be gone in this country though the fact that Hitlery still remains in the running for US president and not at the Hague for war crimes prove some families who like to think themselves above the rule of law really are, they hope. However, such people have forgotten one thing.: Globalists like Clinton seem to forget, the laws of 'God' always triumph over the laws of man...especially in 'the end'. The 'awoken' American people are now overwhelmingly saying that we want our country back from the globalists criminals who have attempted to steal it from us and in so doing, are backing Trump 'en masse' despite what the dying, dinosaur media might be saying. Despite that, there's still a chance that our Republic will be forever gone by 2017. As we hear in the 2nd video below, the mainstream media and the Clinton News Network (CNN) are absolutely destroying themselves by recently saying that Donald Trump was going to drop out of the race. Talk about desperate. As we've warned over and over again on ANP, they'll do anything at all to stay in power and Obama has all of the executive orders that he needs to do so simply by declaring a state of emergency. From Snyder's story: If Barack Obama truly believes all of the things he said about Donald Trump, does he also believe that he has a responsibility to keep Donald Trump from taking office? Absent a major national emergency of some sort, this would be very difficult for Obama to do. But if there were some sort of enormous national crisis between now and next January, Barack Obama could potentially employ some of the extraordinary emergency powers that have been endowed on the office of the president over the past several decades. There is not a single statute, regulation, executive order or presidential directive that contains all of the powers that a president would possess during a major national emergency. Rather, these powers have been layered on top of one another for a very long period of time, and they come from literally dozens of different laws, regulations, court decisions, executive orders and presidential directives. One document that I would refer you to is National Security Presidential Directive 51 which was put into effect during the Bush administration. It is all about “national continuity policy” and it defines a “catastrophic emergency” as “any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions”. In such a scenario, the president would have almost unlimited power, and he would wield enormously powerful executive orders such as this one. If there was a big enough emergency, the president would potentially be able to declare martial law, suspend elections and essentially become a dictator. Let us hope that we never see such a thing play out in the United States of America. Would Obama and the globalists take away a legally won presidency from Donald Trump and the American people and quite literally risk civil war in doing so? We pray to God that war never again comes to US soil though we feel that we're watching it silently unfolding all across America at this very moment after reading this story from Michael Snyder telling us that an entire church in the US recently ended up on an 'ISIS kill list'. As Snyder aptly laid out for us in this story, all of the executive orders are already in place for Obama or whomever is in office to deal with such a reality. Story after story throughout the alternative media dictates we could very well be witnessing the 'end' for America within the next few months. If Trump is legally elected on November 8th, what will the globalists do to hold onto power in America and continue their enslavement of the American people and the human race? Will the 'sleeper terrorists' that have been 'trojan horsed' into this country 'en masse' attack us like never before so that a 'state of emergency' is declared? As we count down the final few months until the election, we wouldn't put anything past a man who made it his goal when entering office to tear our country down. If that was really Obama's goal, he has succeeded mightily. All we're missing now is the official coronation of a dictator or that of America's first queen.

Trump: “People without ID will ‘vote 10 times”-Clinton Will Steal This Election

The evidence is omnipresent. Voter fraud will rule the day if the American people let it happen. The Clinton camp is poised to steal this election: From Fox News: WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump is reiterating his concerns that the November election will be “rigged” against him, speculating that people without proper identification “are going to vote 10 times.” Trump is discussing voter ID during an interview Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “The O’Reilly Factor.” The Republican presidential nominee says, “You don’t have to have voter ID to now go in and vote and it’s a little bit scary.” Over the last two weeks, courts have dealt setbacks to voter ID laws in several states. Critics of photo ID requirements say they fall disproportionately on minority voters and the poor. Trump says without voter ID, “people are going to walk in, they are going to vote 10 times maybe. Who knows?” The fix is in. A new Stanford study indicated which only use electronic voting machines give Hillary a 9% advance over Sanders in the Democratic Primary. The Stanford study demonstrated that pre-election polls accurately predicted election results when a paper ballot was used. However, when unaccountable electronic voting machines were used, with no confirming paper trial, Clinton exceeded expectations by 9%. When one runs the odds on this being due to random chance, the odds are nearly incalculable. What adds fuel to this fire is that the two major manufacturers of the voting machines, Dominion Voting and H.I.G. Capital, are large Clinton campaign supporters. I remember reading something about the fact that it is illegal to engage in such a flagrant conflict of interest. The criminality oozing out Clinton, never stops. Here is a 3 minute, concise, summation of Clinton got away with voter fraud against Bernie Sanders and how she will do it to Donald Trump. Further, I previously stated that undocumented Democrats would illegally vote multiple times in favor of Clinton, who has bought their vote with your tax dollars. Conclusion I have said that Trump will have to win by 20% to overcome the voter fraud that is permeating out elections. It has to be the mission of every American CITIZEN, who is gainfully employed, to educate a ignorant public comprised of sheep as to the dangers of a Clinton presidency (see The Common Sense Show) for multiple examples of the dangers posed by Clinton to this country.

ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS DEATH=> Activist and Sanders Supporter Who Served Papers to DNC on Fraud Case Found Dead

Jim Hoft Aug 4th, 2016 10:26 pm

On July 3, 2016, Shawn Lucas and filmmaker Ricardo Villaba served the DNC Services Corp. and Chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz at DNC’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., in the fraud class action suit against the Democrat Party on behalf of Bernie Sanders supporters. Shawn Lucas was thrilled about serving the papers to the DNC before Independence Day. According to Snopes Lucas was found dead on his bathroom floor. We contacted Lucas’ employer on 4 August 2016 to ask whether there was any truth to the rumor. According to an individual with whom we spoke at that company, Shawn Lucas died on 2 August 2016. The audibly and understandably shaken employee stated that interest in the circumstances of Lucas’ death had prompted a number of phone calls and other queries, but the company had not yet ascertained any details about Lucas’ cause of death and were unable to confirm anything more than the fact he had passed away. An unconfirmed report holds that Lucas was found lying on the bathroom floor by his girlfriend when she returned home on the evening of 2 August 2016. Paramedics responding to her 911 call found no signs of life. This follows the death of 27 year-old Democratic staffer Seth Conrad Rich who was murdered in Washington DC on July 8. The killer or killers appear to have taken nothing from their victim, leaving behind his wallet, watch and phone. Shortly after the killing, Redditors and social media users were pursuing a “lead” saying that Rich was en route to the FBI the morning of his murder, apparently intending to speak to special agents about an “ongoing court case” possibly involving the Clinton family.

A MAGNIFICENT CON BY THE MUSLIM KHAN

By Frosty Wooldridge May 31, 2016 NewsWithViews.com

At the Democratic National Convention in July, Pakistani immigrant and Muslim Brotherhood member Khizr Muazzam Khan held up a booklet containing our U.S. Constitution in condemnation of Donald J. Trump’s plans to ban Muslim immigration. Did the mainstream media speak up to expose the fact that Khan advocates for Sharia Law to be implemented in the United States? Did “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd expose the fact that Khan’s membership in the Muslim Brotherhood equates to conquering and destroying America’s constitution? Did John Dickerson at “Face the Nation” expose Khan’s legal firm ‘buying’ U.S. citizenships for his Muslim brothers in Saudi Arabia? Not a word! In fact, the mainstream media jumped all over Trump rather than defend their own country from the Muslim immigration threat. Its consequences play out all over Europe in accelerating lone wolf massacres and subsequent parallel societies. Journalist Daniel Greenfield wrote, “When you turn on the evening news and see a running death toll, it’s happening more and more often. The new brand of Islamic terror only needs one thing… Muslims. Lone wolf terrorism operates off the existing Muslim population in a particular country. The bigger the Muslim population, the bigger the risk. The FBI or other law enforcement agencies cannot monitor even a fraction of the Islamic settler population sympathetic to terror. As the Muslim settler population in the country increases, the number of cases will grow.” (Source: Right Side News, Stop Lone Wolf Terrorism by Ending Muslim Immigration, August 2, 2016) Notice none of the mainstream outlets expose Hillary Clinton’s top aid Huma Abedin stands first, last and always—a Muslim. The same media that enjoys our 1st Amendment rights never touches the fact that Obama employs 13 Muslims on his staff. One of them named Mr. Magid works on implementing Sharia Law in America. He’s known as the Sharia Law czar in the White House. Ironically, Khan conned our nation with its sympathies toward his son killed in 2004. In the intervening years, Khan’s work to bring in more Muslim Brotherhood members and selling citizenship to Saudi Arabian Muslims—illustrates his long term goal: to displace the U.S. Constitution with Sharia Law wherever his Muslim immigrants grow in numbers and strength. If allowed or he gained the power, Khan would implement Sharia Law across America in a heartbeat. Journalist Theodore Shoebat said, “Khan is a promoter of Islamic Sharia Law in the U.S. He was a co-founder of the Journal of Contemporary Issues in Muslim Law. During the eighties Khan wrote a paper titled Juristic Classification of Islamic Sharia Law. In it he elucidated on the system of Sharia law expressing his reverence for “The Sunnah — authentic tradition of the Prophet Muhammad.” (Source: www.shoebat.com, August 2, 2016) In other words, Khan advocates for total subjugation of women’s rights, loss of free speech, loss of religious choice, loss of children’s rights and loss of women’s rights to dress as they choose. He works to undermine everything that Americans fought and died for in the last 240 years. Make note of this reality: Hillary’s work with Huma ABedin and men such as Khan illustrates how deep Islam imbeds itself into our country. Khan pulled out all the stops on sympathy for his son, when in fact; he works to destroy the foundation of our country with every day and every breath. Search Al-Wathaiq, Al-Siyasiyah from Arabia on violent jihad. Khan promotes it in his writing and actions. Which brings a huge question as to the final intent of America’s mainstream media: why don’t Scott Pelley, David Muir, Lester Holt, John Dickerson, Chuck Todd, Terry Gross, Steve Inskeep, Robert Siegel and a host of other top journalist ferret out the accelerating Islamic invasion of our country? Why not expose what’s really happening to Europe and to the USA? Are they waiting for Sharia Law to snuff out their voices? Are they waiting for more terror attacks by ‘deranged’ men following the Quran? Why haven’t they exposed Obama’s continuous assault on our country with his open borders and unconstitutional executive orders amnesties? Passage from Governor Richard Lamm’s famous 2003 speech on “How to Destroy America”: Lamm said, “If you believe that America is too smug, too self-satisfied, too rich, then let’s destroy America. It is not that hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall, and that, “An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.” We gallop toward that destiny!

No Debates, No Open Press Events, Declining Fox News: Paul Ryan Running Scared in Final Days Ahead of Primary Election

by Matthew Boyle4 Aug 2016 JANESVILLE, Wisconsin

JANESVILLE, Wisconsin — House Speaker Paul Ryan’s policy record is collapsing among voters here under scrutiny from Republican challenger Paul Nehlen, so badly that Ryan is refusing to appear even on the Fox News Channel. “We know Speaker Ryan, he’s been on this program many, many times,” Fox and Friends host Steve Doocy opened an interview with Nehlen on Thursday morning by saying. “We invited him to be on today.” Later in the interview with Nehlen, Doocy divulged even more: “We did invite Speaker Ryan to appear today, and he declined.” The fact that Ryan is shunning former media allies and generally refusing interviews except with his closest friends on local radio shows how terrified he and his team are ahead of next week’s primary showdown with Nehlen. No recent polling has been done on the race, so it’s unclear whether Nehlen is within striking distance here on Tuesday. But Ryan’s team is certainly taking nothing for granted, especially after last cycle’s embarrassing loss by then House Majority Leader Eric Cantor to now Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA). Republicans party-wide are aware that Nehlen may win, and are prepared to support him if he does beat Ryan. “Of course, we always support the Republican nominee in every race,” Republican National Committee (RNC) communications director Sean Spicer told Breitbart News on Wednesday when asked if Reince Priebus and the RNC would back Nehlen in November if he topples Ryan next week. Spicer did say that Priebus supports Ryan, however, and sources external to the RNC have confirmed to Breitbart News that Priebus has been putting his thumb on the scales in this primary pushing people to either not endorse Nehlen or to back Ryan. Earlier this week, Donald Trump, the 2016 GOP presidential nominee, refused to endorse Ryan for Congress. “I like Paul, but these are horrible times for our country. We need very strong leadership. We need very, very strong leadership. And I’m just not quite there yet. I’m not quite there yet,” Trump said in an interview with the Washington Post. His running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, did endorse Ryan later in the week. “I strongly support Paul Ryan, strongly endorse his re-election,” Pence told Fox News. “He is a longtime friend. He’s a strong conservative leader. I believe we need Paul Ryan in leadership in the Congress of the United States.” Ryan campaign spokesman Zack Roday in a statement after Trump’s refusal to endorse brushed it off. “Neither Speaker Ryan nor anyone on his team has ever asked for Donald Trump’s endorsement,” Roday said. “And we are confident in a victory next week regardless.” Now that Ryan is declining most media appearances, Roday said he is focusing on local radio—and refusing to let press into any events he is doing. “He did a WI radio show this morning and has 5 more radio hits over the next two days,” Roday said in an email to Breitbart News. “I’d hardly say that is ignoring the media. That’s a bit off, even for you. There will be guidance coming on upcoming open press opportunities. I might add that he’s prioritizing local media, not out of state media.” Between now and the election, Ryan currently has no publicly announced open press events—though Roday says there is guidance coming regarding planned logistics for something open to press between now and Tuesday. “Ryan has community events in the 1st District today and tomorrow, including business tours and other constituent events,” Roday said. “These are closed press, but he will be doing a series of WI radio interviews.” Technically speaking, since he has nothing open on Thursday or Friday, that means there are only three days open to such events before the election: Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. Roday wouldn’t answer if Ryan plans to do anything open to the press and the public between now and the election, however. “There will be guidance coming on upcoming open press opportunities,” Roday said. “You’ll get guidance when everyone else does,” he added, without confirming whether or not Ryan would ever actually interact with voters in a forum that isn’t controlled by his campaign between now and Tuesday. Roday hasn’t answered whether Ryan would support Nehlen in the general election if Nehlen wins, like the RNC has confirmed it will. He hasn’t answered why Ryan won’t debate Nehlen, which Ryan continues to refuse to do. And he hasn’t answered whether Ryan will do any town halls with actual voters—without pre-scripted questions—here in his hometown of Janesville or anywhere in the district before the election. In other words: Ryan is reeling right now. In reality, despite the Ryan campaign’s claims to the contrary, Trump’s refusal thus far to endorse Ryan has created a major headache for the Speaker’s campaign, as it has launched Nehlen into the stratosphere in terms of national—and local—attention. National reporters from the Washington Post, Politico and New York Times are crawling around Wisconsin’s first congressional district, while Nehlen takes the GOP mantle onto local and national television with his Fox News appearance on Thursday morning, MSNBC hit later in the day, and CNN yesterday. “I’m supporting Donald Trump because Donald Trump is against this trade deal, this Trans Pacific Partnership, this job killing trade deal that is going to bring cheap labor into this country,” Nehlen said in an interview with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Thursday. “That’s going to disproportionately hurt blacks and immigrants who are already here. Mr. Trump is also for securing the border, which Mr. Ryan is against.” Nehlen continued by calling Ryan “the mercenary champion” of the Trans Pacific Partnership, “this absolutely job-killing, district-leveling trade deal that gives up U.S. sovereignty.” A moment later, when Mitchell tried to catch him up on Trump, Nehlen fired back: “Why are you asking me questions about this? Why aren’t you asking me questions about the trade deal?” After some crosstalk, Nehlen talked over Mitchell: “You should ask me about the trade deal.” A flustered and indignant Mitchell replied: “I’ll decide what I want to ask you.” After more back and forth with Mitchell about how Pence endorsed but Trump didn’t solely on the basis that Pence is friends with Ryan—and wasn’t supporting Ryan’s open borders policies—Nehlen trucked right on through with his populist message again. “My message hasn’t changed from day one,” Nehlen said. “I would run on Trans Pacific Partnership alone. Paul Ryan whipped the votes to get fast track Trade Promotion Authority to sell our jobs to foreign countries. He absolutely worked on that. Paul Ryan owns it. He can’t say he doesn’t agree with it, because when he did that that contract was already written. It was already set up—that treaty was already set up.” Nehlen was referring to how Ryan’s campaign website now inaccurately claims that “Paul is withholding his support for TPP because he believes President Obama did a poor job negotiating the agreement.” Ryan has not withheld his support, either as Speaker of the House or beforehand when he was now-former Speaker John Boehner’s right hand man as the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, for the Trans Pacific Partnership. He was the critical linchpin to driving the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) fast track authority bill that would grease the skids for congressional approval of the TPP through the House of Representatives. In a joint op-ed with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in the Wall Street Journal back in 2015, Ryan wrote that he supported the Trans Pacific Partnership—and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP). “The United States is making headway on two historic trade agreements, one with 11 countries on the Pacific Rim and another with America’s friends in Europe,” Ryan and Cruz wrote. “These two agreements alone would mean greater access to a billion customers for American manufacturers, farmers and ranchers.” The op-ed continued by noting that to pass those trade deals, Congress would need to approve TPA—which both Cruz and Ryan championed through the House and Senate. Cruz would later, on the second go-around, back out of supporting TPA but Ryan was the rock who carried it through troubled waters in Congress and got that portion of what’s become collectively known as Obamatrade passed. In addition, Ryan’s campaign website incredibly claims that he is interested in securing the border. “Paul Ryan has always said that securing the border is the first step to any immigration reform proposal,” Ryan’s website says. “More importantly, we need a President who will commit to work with Congress to effectively secure the border. Most recently, Paul led the House in successfully suing the President to overturn his executive order on amnesty.” It adds that Ryan has pushed a variety of measures in the House on immigration security. “Paul Ryan voted to provide $694 million for border security and enforcement of immigration and customs laws,” Ryan’s website says. “It includes $405 million for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to boost border security and law enforcement activities.” “Paul Ryan has also voted for funding to build a border fence, hire 1,080 more border patrol agents, and require the DHS to control our borders and mandate that security fencing along the U.S. – Mexico border be constructed,” the website adds. But that’s hardly a complete picture of Ryan’s positions on immigration. Paul Ryan is a champion of open borders. In fact, he supports comprehensive immigration reform packages like the U.S. Senate’s “Gang of Eight” amnesty bill from 2013. Numbers USA director of government relations Rosemary Jenks told Breitbart News back when Ryan was running for Speaker that a vote for Paul Ryan for Speaker of the House is a vote for amnesty. “A vote for Paul Ryan is a vote for Gang of Eight style amnesty that includes massive increases in legal immigration and replacing American workers with foreign-born workers,” Jenks said. “A vote for Paul Ryan is a vote to continue Obama’s transformation of America.” Ryan supports increasing immigration levels into the United States from foreign countries, and is even in league with the radical progressive Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) on the matter. In fact, Gutierrez, as much an open borders zealot as Ryan, endorsed Ryan for Speaker. “He would be good for the country,” Gutierrez said back then when Ryan was launching his speakership bid. “He would be good for the Republican Party. Paul Ryan is the kind of individual that would work with people on the other side of the aisle and that’s what we need.”

Anonymous FBI Informant Says Treason In Govt At The Highest Levels

By PastorBones - August 4, 2016

On July 5th, the director of the FBI, James Comey, held a press conference where he announced the FBI’s recommendation to not prosecute Hillary Clinton for the crime of possessing an illegal and unsecured email server in the basement of her home. However, days before this announcement was delivered, an anonymous forum poster had already stated that the FBI would not recommend the prosecution. The forum known as 4chan is the originating home of the hacker group called Anonymous. It was on this forum that someone claimed to be a member of the FBI team investigating Hillary Clinton’s email servers. It is impossible to tell if this person was a legitimate member of the FBI team, but when their prediction came true, people started paying attention. The anonymous poster returned for several question and answer sessions over the next few weeks. He responded to the questions with only vague hints as it was necessary to conceal his identity to avoid retaliation. With the information he provided, many would-be investigators began diving into the bowels of the internet looking for the connections and proof of Clinton’s scandalous affairs. All of the question and answer sessions, known as an AMA, has been archived for future reference. Here is a breakdown of some of the topics discussed with the FBI informant.

Turkey arrests 1600 people following coup

last updated: 09/08/2016

Turkey’s Justice Minister has said 16,000 people have been detained following last month’s failed coup attempt. Bekir Bozdag also said another 6,000 people were still being processed. The crackdown has seen tens of thousands of public sector workers removed or suspended from office. In an interview with Turkey’s state-run Anadolu news agency on Tuesday the Justice Minister Bozdag also warned Washington it would be effectively sacrificing its relations with Turkey if it refused to extradite US-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen. Ankara has accused Gulen and his followers of being behind the botched uprising.

Healing 2,000-Year Rift, Christians Work to Return Jews to Israel for Ingathering of Exiles

By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz August 7, 2016 , 10:30 am

After millennia of difficult relations, Jews and Christians are coming together in a display of love unprecedented in the history of the two religions to fulfill one of today’s most relevant prophecies. Operation Exodus, an organization of Christians dedicated to bringing Jews to Israel, expresses this bountiful love for the Jewish people by helping the Jews return to the land God promised them. The Jews who have returned due to their efforts, fueled by their prayers for Israel, account for an astounding 2.5 percent of Israel’s present population. Operation Exodus was established in the United Kingdom in 1991 by Swiss businessman Gustav Scheller. With representatives in over 50 countries around the world, the organization has partnered with the Jewish Agency for Israel and other agencies in assisting over 150,000 Jewish people make aliyah (immigrate) to Israel. Scheller was driven by a powerful belief in prophecy and a feeling of gratitude towards the Jews. In an interview given before he passed away in 2000, Scheller said, “Christians have no choice but to love the Jews. You have given us the Bible.” The ministry had its beginnings in prayer. Operation Exodus began during the Gulf war in 1991, when Scud missiles began to fall on Israel. Over a hundred Christians gathered at the HolyLand Hotel in Jerusalem to pray for the protection of Israel, occasionally being forced into sealed rooms, their words of prayer muffled by gas masks. The conference gathered $30,000 for bringing the Jews of Russia back to Israel in boats, based on the prophecy in Isaiah. Surely the isles shall wait for Me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far. Isaiah 60:9 Prayer and prophecy continue to be essential aspects of Operation Exodus. In addition to practical efforts bringing Jews to Israel, they also organize prayer groups, what they call intercessors, bringing together thousands of Christians around the world to pray for the Jewish people and the peace of Jerusalem. “Really, everything we have accomplished is through prayer. We need support to accomplish our goals, but we also need prayer to open hearts, in order to allow our efforts to have a positive effect,” Adrianne Prosser, the Outreach Manager for Operation Exodus, explained to Breaking Israel News. “Prayer comes from the deepest places of the heart,” Prosser explained. “It is our expression of the unmitigated, unconditional love we have for the Jewish people. “Loving Israel and fulfilling God’s promises are really what are at the heart of our work. Helping Jews come to Israel is the best expression of this love.” Operation Exodus’ belief that helping Jewish aliyah is a powerful expression of Christian love for God is firmly based in Scripture. “We believe this, and it is precisely this that drives us to help bring Jews to Israel,” Prosser told Breaking Israel News. “We want to be the bridge for the Christian love into the Jewish community.” She cited Isaiah as the source for this Christian obligation, saying, “In the Scriptures, God clearly invites Gentiles to participate with Him in this process.” Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations, and set up Mine ensign to the peoples, and they shall bring thy sons in their bosom, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders. Isaiah 49:22 “Aliyah is a gift from God. Israel belongs to God and he gave it to the Jewish people,” she continued. “That is something unique in the world. Every individual Jew that returns is a miracle, proof of God’s eternal word.” The ministry acknowledges the difficult history of relations between Jews and Christians and is working to reverse the wrongs of the past 2,000 years. But its members also want to write a new chapter in this relationship, and their efforts seem to making a difference. Adrianne described the remarkable changes she has witnessed in the relationship between Jews and Christians. “It is inspiring to see how well we are received in the Jewish communities these days,” Prosser said. “It encourages us to continue our efforts.” Though Operation Exodus began as an effort to save Jews in danger from the former Soviet Union, it is rapidly expanding as aliyah increases. Since 2014, Operation Exodus has had a 79 percent increase in requests for aliyah assistance. The organization now has an office in Paris, France being the largest country of origin for Jewish immigration to Israel. Their offices in America are also very busy, especially their new office in Brooklyn. 500,000 Russian Jews live in Brooklyn, and many are considering moving to Israel. The organization provides ongoing assistance to new olim (immigrants) in Israel through their office in Jerusalem. In addition, Operation Exodus provides humanitarian aid to Holocaust survivors and many others in need in the former Soviet Union. President of Operation Exodus USA Debra Minotti, described her vision of the future for the organization. “Now that the Jewish community looks to us as a resource, we want to be there,” Minotti said. “When God calls the Jews back to Israel, we want to be there to help. We want to help every single Jew who comes to us, wanting to go home to Israel. That is our core, and the basis of our prayer.”

The slow death of Europe

BY Alexander Scott Tuesday, August 09, 2016

COLOGNE, Germany — A Turkish protestor holds a portrait of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan during a demonstration in Cologne, yesterday. Supporters of the Turkish president demonstrate amid heavy police presence, which comes amid tensions following the failed coup attempt in Turkey and concern in Germany over the extent of the Turkish Government’s subsequent crackdown. (AP)

For the past eight years Europe has been in crisis mode. By Europe I mean all of continental Europe and do not solely mean the European Union. Europe has seen serious economic crisis, political upheaval, serious violence, and basic social unrest. With all of this going on can the Europe that we know of today remain? It looks to be tearing apart at the seams. The Europe that we know of today is historically an anomaly, with no major wars for some 70 years, Europe has enjoyed one of the longest periods of peace in memory, mainly because of the United States-backed North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). This, however, seems to be changing as NATO nations, such as Turkey, openly saber rattle, shooting down Russian planes and engaging openly with nefarious characters in the Syrian-Iraqi conflict. The recent attempted coup will also lead to a purge of the military and leave it ultimately more in the hands of a leader who looks like he is drunk on power, to put it mildly. However NATO is not the only shady actor when it comes to military actions that threaten current European existence. Russia, over the same period, has been flexing its military muscle, be it cyber warfare in Estonia, routing Georgian forces or the land grab that was the Crimean incident, it is clear that Russia is back to being a major player when it comes to the military. Some may say that the Russian incidents were all reactions to NATO and United States intervention in Russia’s backyard, but that is the point. Even if they were reactions to provocations — which some clearly were — that shows us that Europe is a gunshot away from a major calamity, that is made all the more realistic when one remembers NATO is about collective defence, if a Turkish jet is shot down by Russia we can realistically expect a NATO and thus a European reaction. Europe as a society is also splitting apart at the seams. With a migration crisis of their own making, and with an economy that is tanking (taking into account the eurozone) we are seeing groups popping up everywhere demanding independence. The Scots are testing the waters as it relates to independence after the Brexit, the Catalans are also demanding a referendum on independence in Spain, and if they get it the Basques will surely demand one too, thus killing off Spain as we know it. We also see a deep societal split amongst both the people and there governments, but also regionally (Western standards as compared to the standards in the old Soviet bloc) and has given rise to extremist groups and far right neo fascist groups all the way from Holland to Poland. The rise of the far right, especially in a European context, is always a harbinger of doom and destruction and history backs that up. Finally, we come to the violence, the open and obvious area of the slow demise of modern Europe. With a violent attack almost every month in a European city, we see the nations respond by hunkering down and militarising the streets. We see them — rightly or wrongly — cracking down hard on certain religious groups and ethnic minorities as diverse as Arab to African. The militarising of the police and the State, as a response to the violence, as opposed to common sense approaches such as travel bans for suspected terrorist sympathisers; regarding schooling them in Islam and the Quran; stop taking advantage of the Middle East, is not only hampering them in the ‘war on radical Islam’, but is also a threat to European security. With many nations still having historical grievances against each other, and with the rise in the far right, nationalist rhetoric and the splintering of the European Union, it is, I believe, only a matter of time before Europe gets involved in some major internal conflict. Some may say it it too far-fetched an idea, but so was World War I at the time, though with hindsight we can see the fault lines. The same is happening here, and be it a NATO shot, Russian shot, or Kosovon shot, Europe will see a violent change and will look radically different when the dust settles. alexanderwj.scott@gmail.com PULL QUOTE Europe as a society is also splitting apart at the seams. With a migration crisis of their own making, and with an economy that is tanking (taking into account the eurozone) we are seeing groups popping up everywhere demanding independence. The Scots are testing the waters as it relates to independence after the Brexit, the Catalans are also demanding a referendum on independence in Spain, and if they get it the Basques will surely demand one too, thus killing off Spain as we know it

Parents Of Two Benghazi Victims Sue Hillary Clinton For Defamation And Wrongful Death

Photo of Chuck Ross Chuck Ross Reporter 7:13 PM 08/08/2016

The parents of two of the Americans killed by Islamic terrorists during the Sept. 11, 2012 Benghazi attacks are suing Hillary Clinton for defamation, negligence and wrongful death. Charles Woods, the father of Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods, and Patricia Smith, the mother of State Department information programs officer Sean Smith, filed the lawsuit in federal court in Washington D.C. on Monday. They are being represented by Larry Klayman, a well-known conservative activist who routinely sues federal government agencies and politicians. Woods and Smith, both of whom have endorsed Donald Trump for president, have publicly claimed that at their sons’ memorial service at Joint Andrews Air Force Base on Sept. 14, 2012, Clinton blamed the maker of a YouTube video for the attacks. Clinton has denied ever making those statements. “During the private meeting, Defendant Clinton lied to Plaintiffs and told Plaintiffs that the Benghazi Attack was the result of the anti-Muslim YouTube video that had been posted online and that the creator of the video would be arrested,” the suit reads. It also notes something that Woods has said in various interviews — that he took notes of that conversation with Clinton shortly after it took place. He wrote in his diary that “I gave Hillary a hug and shook her hand, and she said we are going to have the film maker arrested who was responsible for the death of my son.” Clinton has publicly denied that those conversations took place. The filing points to several interviews in which Clinton disputed Woods and Smith. In a Dec. 6, 2015 with George Stephanopoulos, Clinton was asked if she told the Benghazi victims’ families that the attacks were sparked by the film. “No. You know, look I understand the continuing grief at the loss that parents experienced with the loss of these four brave Americans,” she said. Clinton also denied that she was lying about that exchange during a Dec. 30, 2015 interview with the Conway (N.H) Daily Sun editorial board. “Somebody is lying. Who is it?” Clinton was asked. “Not me, that’s all I can tell you,” she responded. The lawsuit asserts that Clinton’s denials constitute defamation. “These lies were perpetrated despite the fact that she knew immediately that this video was actually not the cause of the attack,” the complaint reads, pointing to emails which show that Clinton acknowledged in private conversations in the hours and days after the the attacks that the YouTube video was not the and days after the the attacks that the YouTube video was not the catalyst for the onslaught. The complaint also accuses Clinton of waged a “defamatory smear campaign” against Smith and Woods “in an attempt to save her reputation” and win the general election in November. Clinton has attempted to “paint Plaintiffs as liars in the public eye in order to discredit Plaintiffs, who have been vocal about Defendant Clinton’s pattern and practice of dishonesty regarding what caused the Benghazi attack, its aftermath, and the death of their sons,” read the court papers. The complaint also accuses Clinton of putting the Benghazi victims at risk by using her private email system: Islamic terrorists obtained the information sent and received by Defendant Clinton about the location of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and thus the U.S. Department of State and the covert CIA and other government operations in Benghazi and used it to plan, orchestrate, and carry out the horrific and devastating attack on the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012 (“Benghazi Attack”), resulting in the death of four Americans, including Sean Smith and Tyrone Woods. While Clinton has been heavily criticized for using a private email system as secretary of state — FBI director James Comey called the decision “extremely careless” — few have alleged that her emails were intercepted by the Benghazi terrorists. Woods and Smith, who are seeking monetary damages and a jury trial, are also suing Clinton for negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress.

More Than 70 Dead in Bombing at Hospital in Pakistan Where Gunned-Down Lawyer Taken

Posted 10:20 AM, August 8, 2016, by CNN Wire

Hours after a prominent lawyer was gunned down in Pakistan, more than 70 people were killed in a bombing at the hospital where his body was taken. The explosion at a hospital in Quetta on Monday also injured 112 others, said Rehmat Baloch, the health minister of Balochistan province in the western part of the country. Many of those killed in the blast were believed to be lawyers and journalists who had gathered at the hospital to mourn and report on the death of lawyer Bilal Kasi, who had been gunned down earlier in the day. The explosion at 9:30 a.m. local time rocked the emergency ward of the civil hospital, Sarfaraz Bugti, Home Minister of Balochistan, told CNN. “It was a scene of utter horror and devastation in the courtyard hospital,” Wall Street Journal reporter Saeed Shah told CNN’s Max Foster from Islamabad. “There were bodies strewn everywhere, bleeding lawyers trying to get up.” Pakistan’s Tehreek-i Taliban (TTP), also known as the Pakistan Taliban, has claimed responsibility for both the hospital blast and Kasi’s death. Kasi was the president of the Balochistan Bar Association. “This brutal and senseless attack on civilians, so many of them lawyers working to bring justice to their country, will not undermine one of the most important pillars of Pakistan’s democracy and civil society,” said American Ambassador to Pakistan David Hale in a statement. ‘Utmost vigilance’ Pakistan’s Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif condemned the blast, saying, “No one will be allowed to disturb peace in the province that has been restored due to countless sacrifices of security forces, police and the people of Balochistan.” The prime minister said in a statement that he has directed authorities to “maintain utmost vigilance” and that the country has boosted security for members in the legal fraternity as well as for the rest of society. Legendary Pakistan cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan also expressed his dismay at the attack on a hospital. Pakistan Taliban vows to continue attacks Tehreek-i Taliban spokesman Ihsanullah Ihsan said the group had targeted Kasi. Suicide bombers also attacked lawyers and journalists at the hospital, said Ihsan, who vowed that such attacks would continue. The group was also responsible for a suicide blast in an amusement park in Lahore earlier this year that killed 69 people. “The Pakistani Taliban are known for their extremely bloody attacks,” said CNN’s Sophia Saifi in Islamabad. “They were responsible for the deadliest attack in the country earlier this year when a children’s amusement park was targeted. They’re known for targeting soft targets — churches, amusement parks, and now we see a hospital where lawyers were killed. “These victims were the young creme de la creme of this country — the doctors, the lawyers, the journalists and cameramen who have lost their lives today in a horrific attack.”

California bill threatens religious freedom, minorities and the poor

Archbishop José Gomez / Bishop Charles Blake August 8, 2016 SPECIAL TO CRUX

Current California law exempts religious schools from nondiscrimination laws in cases where applying them violates their beliefs. A new bill on higher education, however, would force faith-based institutions to choose between compromising their deeply held beliefs or risking an endless wave of costly litigation. [Editor’s Note: California is currently considering new anti-discrimination legislation regarding colleges and universities. In this piece, two religious leaders comment on the bill who, together, represent a broad coalition of minority interests in the state. Bishop Charles E. Blake represents the nation’s largest historically African-American denomination, while Archbishop José H. Gomez heads the 5-million member Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles, which includes 43 language groups and a disproportionate share of the poor and recent immigrants. Together, they argue that the bill violates religious freedom and threatens minority and low-income interests. This piece originally appeared August 2 in Angelus, a publication of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.] This week the California Assembly begins final deliberations on Sen. Ricardo Lara’s “Equity in Higher Education Act” (SB 1146). The bill, which passed the Senate in late May, has a salutary purpose - to ensure against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation at California campuses. Unfortunately, this legislation goes far beyond that. As it is written today, SB 1146 would violate the religious freedom of faith-based colleges and could jeopardize higher educational opportunities for the tens of thousands of Californians they serve, including many who are black, Latino, Asian and low-income. Here is the problem, as we see it. Current California law exempts religious schools from nondiscrimination laws in cases where applying these laws “would not be consistent with the religious tenets of that organization.” This is sensible and reflects our nation’s founding principles of religious freedom. For years now, this policy has worked well, enabling church-run colleges and universities to hire personnel and establish policies and expectations regarding religious practice and personal conduct that reflect their beliefs and values. SB 1146 proposes to drastically narrow that historic exemption so that it would only protect seminaries or other schools that train clergy and ministers. Any other faith-based school that receives state monies or enrolls students who depend on the Cal Grants financial aid program would be forced to change their policies to accommodate practices that in some cases would be contrary to their beliefs and teachings. Detailed provisions in the legislation include rules for bathroom use and sleeping arrangements in dormitories. The bill even has the government setting guidelines for what “religious practices” and “rules for moral conduct” will be acceptable on these campuses. If passed as written today, this bill would force faith-based institutions to choose between compromising their deeply held beliefs or risking an endless wave of costly litigation to defend themselves. This is a choice that no individual or institution should face in our state or in our country. In fact, the First Amendment and Bill of Rights were enacted to prevent precisely the kind of government interference reflected by SB 1146. Title IX of federal law also respects the rights of faith-based colleges and universities to operate free from government meddling. But those who would truly be punished by this bill are California’s low-income and minority families - including millions served by our respective faith communities here in Los Angeles. Historically, faith-based institutions have been a refuge for blacks, Asians and other minorities seeking a college education in the face of economic hardship and racial discrimination. That was true in the days before the Civil Rights Act and it is still true today. Christian and other private nonprofit colleges in California serve a diverse student body - nearly 60 percent are minorities and nearly 90 percent need financial aid. Many of the schools that would be affected by this legislation participate in the federal government’s Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HIS) initiative to expand Latino access to higher education - schools such as California Lutheran, Azuza Pacific, Fresno Pacific, Notre Dame de Namur, among others. To qualify for HIS status means these schools have student populations that are at least 25 percent Hispanic. Many of these students are children of immigrants and the first in their families to attend college. We question why lawmakers would want to make it harder for Latinos and other minorities to receive an education by potentially denying their schools the opportunity to redeem Cal Grants. This is not fair to those students and it contradicts the state’s noble tradition of seeking to expand educational and economic opportunities for all Californians. And all of this is unnecessary to achieve the goals of protecting the rights of gay, lesbian and transgender students. The simple solution is to require that faith-based schools clearly state - on their websites and in written materials - what they believe, what accommodations they intend to provide to students, and what will be expected of students in terms of religious practice and personal conduct. Most faith-based colleges and universities already do this. Sen. Lara’s bill proposes some helpful requirements that would further strengthen transparency and public disclosure at these institutions. But his legislation should stop there. It is important to remember that no one is compelled to attend a private religious college or university. Those who do so make a deliberate decision because they are seeking an academic environment and community in which they can live, learn and serve with others who share their beliefs, values and aspirations. We respectfully urge lawmakers to amend SB 1146 so that California continues to protect the freedom and integrity of faith-based higher education and continues to afford poor and minority students the freedom to attend the college or university of their choice, regardless of their religious beliefs. Archbishop José H. Gomez is head of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles, the nation’s largest Catholic community. Bishop Charles E. Blake is pastor of West Angeles Church of God in Christ and Presiding Bishop of the worldwide Church of God in Christ, a 6 million-member Pentecost-Holiness denomination.

No Longer Fiction: Tiny BORG Implant Could Connect Humans And Machines Like Never Before

August 9, 2016 by Tom Horn

A tiny implant the size of a grain of sand has been created that can connect computers to the human body without the need for wires or batteries, opening up a host of futuristic possibilities. One of the inventors, Professor Michel Maharbiz, of University of California, Berkeley, said: “I think the long-term prospects for neural dust are not only within nerves and the brain, but much broader. “Having access to in-body telemetry has never been possible because there has been no way to put something super-tiny super-deep [in the body]. “But now I can take a speck of nothing and park it next to a nerve or organ, your [gastro-intestinal] tract or a muscle, and read out the data.” Ultrasound vibrations, which can penetrate almost every part of the body, are used to power the sensors, which are about a millimetre across.

Wow Hackers Could Get Inside Your Head With ‘Brain Malware’

Written by Victoria Turk August 3, 2016 // 07:50 AM EST

Hackers have spyware in your mind. You’re minding your business, playing a game or scrolling through social media, and all the while they’re gathering your most private information direct from your brain signals. Your likes and dislikes. Your political preferences. Your sexuality. Your PIN. It’s a futuristic scenario, but not that futuristic. The idea of securing our thoughts is a real concern with the introduction of brain-computer interfaces—devices that are controlled by brain signals such as EEG (electroencephalography), and which are already used in medical scenarios and, increasingly, in non-medical applications such as gaming. Researchers at the University of Washington in Seattle say that we need to act fast to implement a privacy and security framework to prevent our brain signals from being used against us before the technology really takes off. “There’s actually very little time,” said electrical engineer Howard Chizeck over Skype. “If we don’t address this quickly, it’ll be too late.” I first met Chizeck and fellow engineer Tamara Bonaci when I visited the University of Washington Biorobotics Lab to check out their work on hacking teleoperated surgical robots. While I was there, they showed me some other hacking research they were working on, including how they could use a brain-computer interface (BCI), coupled with subliminal messaging in a videogame, to extract private information about an individual. Bonaci showed me how it would work. She placed a BCI on my head—which looked like a shower cap covered in electrodes—and sat me in front of a computer to play Flappy Whale, a simple platform game based on the addictive Flappy Bird. All I had to do was guide a flopping blue whale through the on-screen course using the keyboard arrow keys. But as I happily played, trying to increase my dismal top score, something unusual happened. The logos for American banks started appearing: Chase, Citibank, Wells Fargo—each flickering in the top-right of the screen for just milliseconds before disappearing again. Blink and you’d miss them. The idea is simple: Hackers could insert images like these into a dodgy game or app and record your brain’s unintentional response to them through the BCI, perhaps gaining insight into which brands you’re familiar with—in this case, say, which bank you bank with—or which images you have a strong reaction to. Bonaci’s team have several different Flappy Whale demos, also using logos from local coffee houses and fast food chains, for instance. You might not care who knows your weak spot for Kentucky Fried Chicken, but you can see where it’s going: Imagine if these “subliminal” images showed politicians, or religious icons, or sexual images of men and women. Personal information gleaned this way could potentially be used for embarrassment, coercion, or manipulation. “Broadly speaking, the problem with brain-computer interfaces is that, with most of the devices these days, when you’re picking up electric signals to control an application… the application is not only getting access to the useful piece of EEG needed to control that app; it’s also getting access to the whole EEG,” explained Bonaci. “And that whole EEG signal contains rich information about us as persons.” And it’s not just stereotypical black hat hackers who could take advantage. “You could see police misusing it, or governments—if you show clear evidence of supporting the opposition or being involved in something deemed illegal,” suggested Chizeck. “This is kind of like a remote lie detector; a thought detector.” Of course, it’s not as simple as “mind reading.” We don’t understand the brain well enough to match signals like this with straightforward meaning. But with careful engineering, Bonaci said that preliminary findings showed it was possible to pick up on people’s preferences this way (their experiments are still ongoing). “It’s been known in neuroscience for a while now that if a person has a strong emotional response to one of the presented stimuli, then on average 300 milliseconds after they saw a stimulus there is going to be a positive peak hidden within their EEG signal,” she said. The catch: You can’t tell what the emotional response was, such as whether it was positive or negative. “But with smartly placed stimuli, you could show people different combinations and play the ‘20 Questions’ game, in a way,” said Bonaci. When I played the Flappy Whale game, the same logos appeared over and over again, which would provide more data about a subject’s response to each image and allow the researchers to better discern any patterns. “One of the cool things is that when you see something you expect, or you see something you don’t expect, there’s a response—a slightly different response,” said Chizeck. “So if you have a fast enough computer connection and you can track those things, then over time you learn a lot about a person.” How likely is it that someone would use a BCI as an attack vector? Chizeck and Bonaci think that the BCI tech itself could easily take off very quickly, especially based on the recent sudden adoption of other technologies when incorporated into popular applications—think augmented reality being flung into the mainstream by Pokémon Go. BCIs have already been touted in gaming, either as a novel controller or to add new functionality such as monitoring stress levels. It’s clear that the ability to “read” someone’s brain signals could also be used for other consumer applications: Chizeck painted a future where you could watch a horror film and see it change in response to your brain signals, like a thought-activated choose-your-own-adventure story. Or imagine porn that changes according to what gets your mind racing. “The problem is, even if someone puts out an application with the best of intentions and there’s nothing nefarious about it, someone else can then come and modify it,” said Chizeck. In the Flappy Whale scenario, the researchers imagine that a BCI user might download a game from an app store without realising it has these kind of subliminal messages in it; it’d be like “brain malware.” Chizeck pointed out that many fake, malware-laden Pokémon-themed apps appeared in the app store around the real game’s release. But hacking aside, Bonaci and Chizeck argued that the biggest misuse of BCI tech could in fact be advertising, which could pose a threat to users’ privacy as opposed to their security. "Once you put electrodes on people’s heads, it’s feasible" You could see BCIs as the ultimate in targeting ads: a direct line to consumers’ brains. If you wore a BCI while browsing the web or playing a game, advertisers could potentially serve ads based on your response to items you see. Respond well to that picture of a burger? Here’s a McDonald’s promotion. The researchers think there needs to be some kind of privacy policy in apps that use BCIs to ensure people know how their EEG data could be used. “We usually know when we’re giving up our privacy, although that’s certainly become less true with online behaviour,” said Chizeck. “But this provides an opportunity for someone to gather information from you without you knowing about it at all. When you’re entering something on a web form, you can at least think for a second, ‘Do I want to type this?’” Brain signals, on the other hand, are involuntary; they’re part of our “wetware.” The reason the University of Washington team is looking into potential privacy and security issues now is to catch any problems before the tech becomes mainstream (if indeed it ever does). In a 2014 paper, they argue that such issues “may be viewed as an attack on human rights to privacy and dignity.” They point out that, unlike medical data, there are few legal protections for data generated by BCIs. One obvious way to help control how BCI data is used would rely on policy rather than technology. Chizeck and Bonaci argue that lawyers, ethicists, and engineers need to work together to decide what it’s acceptable to do with this kind of data. Something like an app store certification could then inform consumers as to which apps abide by these standards. “There has to be an incentive for all app developers, programmers, manufacturers to do it,” said Bonaci. “Otherwise why would they change anything about what they’re doing right now?” The Washington team has also suggested a more technical solution, which would effectively “filter” signals so that apps could only access the specific data they require. In their paper, they call this a “BCI Anonymizer” and compare it to smartphone apps having limited access to personal information stored on your phone. “Unintended information leakage is prevented by never transmitting and never storing raw neural signals and any signal components that are not explicitly needed for the purpose of BCI communication and control,” they write. Chizeck said a student in the lab was currently running more tests to characterise further the type and detail of information that can be gleaned through BCIs, and to try a method of filtering this to see if it’s possible to block more sensitive data from leaking out. By doing this work now, they hope to nip future privacy and security concerns in the bud before most people have ever come into contact with a BCI. “It’s technically becoming feasible; once you put electrodes on people’s heads, it’s feasible,” said Chizeck. “The question is, do we want to regulate it, can we regulate it, and how?”

CPD alerts cops that 3 West Side gangs plotting to shoot officers

Chicago 08/08/2016, 04:34pm Sam Charles @samjcharles | email

Leaders from three West Side gang factions allegedly met last week to discuss plans to shoot members of the Chicago Police Department in response to the fatal police shooting of Paul O’Neal. The meeting took place Thursday between higher-ups from the Vice Lords, Black Disciples and Four Corner Hustlers, according to an alert issued to department members the day after the meeting. The Four Corner Hustlers “provided guns” and have “a sniper in place” though authorities do not know where, according to the alert. The Four Corner Hustlers also are supplying the other two gangs with automatic weapons, which all three factions also have agreed to use against police, the alert states. EMANUEL: Mayor calls shooting by police “a tragedy” The three gangs are located primarily in the Austin and Harrison districts, which cover much of the West Side. In an email Monday afternoon, department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said: “To safeguard the integrity of operations, the department does not comment on any security measures.” According to police sources, department members have also been advised to “limit interactions and visibility.” Dean Angelo, president of Lodge 7 of the Fraternal Order of Police, said “rhetoric” from the attorney representing Paul O’Neal’s family and statements from Independent Police Review Authority head Sharon Fairley were both to blame for threats against police. “We had inflammatory and false rhetoric coming from [Michael Oppenheimer] and statements that weren’t true,” Angelo said. “You also have a lead investigator in police-involved deaths talking about how shocking and disturbing this is.” “This should not surprise anyone that we have this type of antagonistic and threatening behavior towards police officers,” Angelo added. The alleged agreement between the three gangs comes in response to the fatal police shooting of 18-year-old Paul O’Neal. Police chased O’Neal into the South Shore neighborhood about 7:30 p.m. July 28 after he allegedly stole a Jaguar from southwest suburban Bolingbrook. Video released last week showed a chaotic scene leading up to O’Neal’s death, with him being handcuffed in a growing pool of his blood. The body camera of the officer who fired the deadly shot wasn’t recording, police said, and the Independent Police Review Authority has said there is no other camera angle that shows the fatal shot. Three officers involved in the shooting were stripped of their police powers by Supt. Eddie Johnson. The release of the video prompted a new wave of protests in downtown Chicago over the weekend, and one elected official — County Commissioner Richard Boykin — called it a “police execution” and demanded the officers be fired.

New Photos Cast Doubt on China’s Vow Not to Militarize Disputed Islands

By DAVID E. SANGER and RICK GLADSTONEAUG. 8, 2016

When President Xi Jinping of China visited President Obama at the White House last September, he startled many with reassuring words about his intentions for the Spratly Islands, a contested area where the Chinese government has been piling dredged sand and concrete atop reefs for the past few years and building housing and runways on them. “China does not intend to pursue militarization,” Mr. Xi said, referring to the area as the Nansha Islands, a Chinese name for what most of the rest of the world calls the Spratlys in the South China Sea. The most recent satellite photographs suggest a different plan. The photos, collected and scrutinized by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington-based research organization, show the construction of what appear to be reinforced aircraft hangars at Fiery Cross, Subi and Mischief Reefs, all part of the disputed territories. There were no military aircraft seen at the time the photos were taken. But a summary of the center’s analysis suggests that the hangars on all three islets have room for “any fighter-jet in the People’s Liberation Army Air Force.” A larger type of hangar on the islets can accommodate China’s H-6 bomber and H-6U refueling tanker, a Y-8 transport aircraft and a KJ200 Airborne Warning and Control System plane, the center said in its analysis. While China may assert that the structures are for civilian aircraft or other nonmilitary functions, the center says its satellite photos strongly suggest otherwise. Besides their size — the smallest hangars are 60 to 70 feet wide, more than enough to accommodate China’s largest fighter jets — all show signs of structural strengthening. “They are far thicker than you would build for any civilian purpose,” Gregory B. Poling, director of the center’s Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative, said on Monday in a telephone interview. “They’re reinforced to take a strike.” The largest hangars, 200 feet wide, are “more than enough for strategic bombers and refuelers,” Mr. Poling said. If those planes were deployed, they would greatly complicate China’s disputes with the Philippines and other nations, and add a level of military risk to the United States’s “freedom of navigation” patrols through the area. Even before the hangars appeared, it was clear to independent military analysts that China’s intention was to use the islands to flex military might in the area. “We knew from the day they started building those runways,” Mr. Poling said. For China to assert a more benign purpose, he said, would be “like saying you’re building a mansion, but only living on the first floor.” Evidence of the military hangars emerged a month after an international tribunal at The Hague sharply rebuked China over its behavior in the South China Sea, including its assertion of expansive sovereignty and construction of artificial islands. The tribunal’s ruling was a response to a landmark case brought by the Philippines, which called it an “overwhelming victory.” Infuriated, China said it would ignore the ruling. Some analysts cautioned that the hangars were not a response to the ruling and had likely been under construction for some time. “The foundations may have been laid months ago,” said M. Taylor Fravel, a political science professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a member of its Security Studies Program. Mr. Fravel said the hangars are not necessarily inconsistent with the Chinese president’s assertions. “China has given itself the option to use these reefs as military facilities, but has not decided yet to what degree it is going to use them,” he said. “It creates the option for a robust defense of those places or even a power projection.”

While y’all are watching the Olympics, Putin just made his move…

By Allen West10:46am August 8, 2016

There’s a completely false narrative going around regarding success against ISIS and things going well in the Middle East Syria-Iraq combat theater of operations. As a matter of fact, we heard very little from President Obama as he blathered along last week at the Pentagon. After all, an unmarked cargo plane landing in the middle of the night in Iran with pallets of laundered money at the same time four American illegally detained individuals are released — well, of course that’s not a ransom payment. And so the storytelling spun by the impeccable literary genius Ben Rhodes continues… As reported by the Washington Free Beacon, “The Russian government is working to pick off Syrian rebels armed and trained by the U.S. to fight against the Islamic State who have often been dissatisfied The political leader of a prominent U.S.-backed brigade in Aleppo said he met with a Russian official nearly two weeks ago, who offered him “unlimited amounts of weaponry and close air support” to wage war with ISIS and Jabhat al Nusra, an al Qaeda-linked jihadist group in Syria, the Daily Beast reported [last] Friday. Mustafa Sejry said members of his Liwa al-Mu’tasim Brigade were concerned about shifting their loyalties to Russia given Moscow’s close alliance with their enemy—the regime of President Bashar al-Assad “Honestly, I would have never ever even thought about working with the Russians after their horrific atrocities against us and their slaughtering thousands of my own people,” Sejry said. “But this change of mindset I blame on the Americans.” Sejry said the Russians told him they wanted to “go back to 2012 when there was a government and an opposition,” which would divert resources from the fights against ISIS and other militant groups in the region. Sejry said he hoped to use Moscow’s offer to leverage improved support from the U.S., but expressed doubt as he described a year and a half of weak American backing and “broken promises,” the Daily Beast reported. He said he told two U.S. military officials about the Russian offer, but has yet to receive a response. Sejry’s claims of Russians attempting to poach U.S.-backed Syrian rebels come roughly three weeks after the Obama administration reached an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin that instructs the two military forces to coordinate joint bombing operations against al Nusra. The provisional deal mandates the U.S. military to share information with Russia about specific targets in Syria, in exchange for Moscow halting its bombing campaign against U.S.-supported rebels.” It appears the grand strategy of that brilliant foreign policy mind, Barack Hussein Obama, has failed. If you recall, the strategy to defeat ISIS was to arm Syrian rebels, and remember nearly $45 million was spent to train about a dozen rebels, of whom only about five survived an assault by al-Qaida-affiliated Islamists. Instead, we see Vladimir Putin’s grand plan in Syria has succeeded. He’s come off as the strongman by ensuring his proxy, Bashar al-Assad, remains in power. And now, it’s about stabilizing the situation in Syria for Assad, meaning turning the Syrian-backed rebels away from fighting Assad towards fighting the Islamists, the al-Qaida-affiliated Al Nusra Front and ISIS. Here is the evidence and proof that Obama’s strategy is failing, while he’s relaxing on his “final” summer vacay in Martha’s Vineyard. Here is yet another policy point a certain presidential candidate should be elaborating upon. The United States is not a trusted entity, our word has no meaning. How many times did Barack Obama state that Bashar al-Assad must go? Remember Obama’s infamous “red line?” This is a foreign policy of false narratives and bluster, which in the end is nothing more than smoke and mirrors. As well, this disaster falls at the feet of one who was once Obama’s secretary of state, Hillary Clinton. Here’s the proof of Russia’s response to the little yellow toy box with the red button referred to by Hillary as the “Russian reset” button. So, as the media reports how rebel fighters are seeking a breakthrough at Aleppo comes this story — that their loyalty may switch because of the Obama administration’s failure and deceit. All of this could have been avoided if one simple decision had been made: to leave a residual force in Iraq to provide an external security cordon in order to prevent any resurgence of Islamic terror groups. The aim of ISIS and Al Nusra Front is more about the destabilization of secular Muslim regimes – Egypt and Libya — and this has been enabled by the unfit capacity and ability of Barack Obama. So, the question becomes a very simple one: shall we, America, trust the one person who was the implementer of Obama’s foreign policy and failures? The Syrian rebels are making their choice…what shall be ours? ALLEN B.

'Secret Weapon' Of The NWO Globalists Revealed: 'Real Life American Zombies' Under Control Of 'The Beast' - 'Something Very Sinister Is Going On'

- Is This How The Globalists Bring America To Our Knees?

August 8, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

Back on July 17th we published a story on ANP that contained a video within it that showed you just how easily millions of Americans will likely be led like sheep to the slaughter once SHTF and FEMA camps are opened. The video, called "Pokemon Go players go mad as rare Pokemon appears in US park", showed a huge crowd gathering in a park, mindless zombies lured into chasing down an imaginary cartoon character in what was then just the latest example of how incredibly easy most Americans can be completely manipulated. Just over a week ago, the 100 millionth 'Pokemon Go' download had been reached with revenue coming in of nearly $10 million daily. What's the big deal with 'Pokemon Go' that so many Americans and people around the world have so foolishly bought into it? Maybe more importantly, is this proof that there are now tens of millions of Americans now 'completely under control' of some 'sinister, mind-control force'? As we learn in the 2nd video below which describes the game for those who haven't yet bought into it, Pokemon Go contains within it the perfect 'lure' for criminals, terrorists or others to get people to go where they want them to go. As we hear in the 1st video below, we also now have a Pokemon Go associated death after a player was shot and killed in San Francisco, California. Was this Pokemon Go player 'lured' to his death? How many more will be? 20-year-old Calvin Riley was killed near Aquatic Park, a peaceful area we are told, where killings in the neighborhood were extremely rare. However, as we hear from police in the excerpt below, Pokemon Go has given criminals a new tool to work with...a way to lure unsuspecting victims to the rob them or lure them to their deaths. From the story.: Since its release in early July, “Pokémon Go” has become a national sensation, especially in San Francisco, where people have been lured by the game that interacts with the city’s many historic and unusual sites. Law enforcement officials, though, have warned the public about the game’s possible dangers. Players can be sucked into the whimsical digital world and partially tune out to their surroundings. There have been scores of snatch-and-run robberies around the Bay Area, and earlier this month a man slashed a player across the face in San Jose. The suspect apparently thought the gamer was recording him on his device, police said. What better way for someone who might have bad intentions than to 'lure' a prospective victim straight to them under the guise of playing a stupid game rather than having to go out and 'hunt victims down'? The Facebook post from a Missouri Police Department seen above tells us just how criminals are using this 'game' to bring victims to them. What else might it be used for? As we warned you back in July, what better way to get the masses to run to their nearest FEMA camp than to advertise a 'rare Pokemon' at the 'local neighborhood FEMA camp'? The unsuspecting masses likely wouldn't even know what hit them until they heard the 'clang' on the gate locks as they're penned in and most would likely continue to play 'their game' until they realized that 'they weren't in Kansas anymore'. Is 'Pokemon Go' not only the 'perfect' mind-control tool for the elite but also a way for 'big brother' to keep track of everything that a person is doing? As this story from Gawker Blag Bag tells us, Pokemon Go is a 'government surveillance psyop conspiracy' that has such sketchy privacy policies one would believe Orwell's 1984 was just a warm up.: Lots of apps have sketchy privacy policies, that’s nothing new. But the first set of alarms go off as soon as you realize that Pokémon Go’s policy does seem a bit more liberal than most, because not only are you giving Pokémon Go access to your location and camera, you’re also giving it full access to your Google account (assuming you use that to sign in). There’s one section of the privacy policy in particular that seems to be getting the conspiracy theorists of the world up in arms and which Reddit user Homer_Simpson_Doh calls “very Orwellian”: Most Orwellian of all is this line: We may disclose any information about you (or your authorized child) that is in our possession or control to government or law enforcement officials or private parties. As TechCrunch explained, Pokémon-loving millennials are far less likely to object to a few extra permissions when its Squirtle staring them in the face as they abandon their every god-given freedom than they do when Google reads their email. Pokémon Go comes directly—directly—from the intelligence community. And it’s not like Pokémon Go itself doesn’t already have a direct(-ish) line to the CIA. After all, Pokémon Go was created by Niantic, which was formed by John Hanke. According to Larry Warford, an NFL footbal player for the Detroit Lions, something very sinister is going on with Pokemon Go and he has decided he'll never play it again. Warning that Pokemon Go has 'dark intentions', Warford fears that Pokemon Go is some sort of 'mind control' and had no problem letting his feelings be known no matter how much the skeptics doubted him and tried to make him feel like the fool for even suggesting such a thing. Are those who created the game concerned that a 'high profile' individual like Warford might come out with a warning like this? Our hats go off to Warford for speaking up about this - we wish more people would but just the fact alone that more people aren't speaking up shows just how 'all encompassing' this mind control really is. From Warford and the story.: "I was walking down Mill Avenue in Tempe, Ariz., pretty much on [Arizona State's] campus," he said. "I was walking down and literally everyone that was on their cell phone walking down that same street was playing Pokemon Go. I was looking at their screens and it was about 30, 40 people." Well, yes. But what problem could there be with so many enthralled humans wafting around in search of monsters that will make them happy? (ANP Note: "Monsters" to make people "happy"?) Warford sees a mental problem. "It was a bunch of people playing it," he said, "and I was like, 'I don't like this.' I deleted it because I was like, 'This is some mind-control stuff.' I don't like it." "Something's not right," he told the Free Press. Is 'Pokemon Go' much more than just a 'game' or is all of this talk of 'lures' and 'mind control' and 'surveillance tool' and 'FEMA camps' just some wild and crazy 'conspiracy theory'? As we hear in the final video below, Pokemon Go is a very dangerous, mind control and reality-shaping game. Don't think that Pokemon Go can be used for sinister purposes? You haven't been paying attention. Could it be used to lure the unsuspecting masses to FEMA camps or worse should the elite or terrorists want plenty of unsuspecting victims? We see why law enforcement has put out a warning about this game. The fact that so many millions of Americans have so eagerly bought into a game that leaves them exposed to thieves, terrorists and our 'globalist overlords' is deeply disturbing and helps to tell the tale of where America is headed. In search of monsters that will make Americans happy, something sinister has been unleashed. Those who unleashed it clearly had dark intentions as Larry Warford warned.

The True Enemies Of Freedom And How To Identify Them

August 9, 2016

The greatest and most often exploited weakness of any revolution for freedom is the inability of the downtrodden populace to identify the true enemy. History is littered with the shattered remnants of rebellions that were built upon legitimate causes but suffered because of misdirection and faulty assumptions. For centuries, the real culprits of tyranny have found ways to redirect the ire of those they harmed in their quest for power, usually by offering a tempting scapegoat that appeals to the public’s darker impulses; their biases, their prejudices, their fears, etc. Usually, this ends in an even more pervasive totalitarian environment as the insurgents and the scapegoats decimate each other while the elites sit back and enjoy the show. Even the most successful battles against despotism, like the American Revolution, often only had a distant sense of who they were really fighting against. This is what makes the 21st Century extraordinarily unique in the annals of civilization. For the first time in human record, the common man has all the information necessary to examine and define the real culprits behind his subjugation. The truth is at our fingertips, all we have to do is reach out and take it… Because of the decentralized nature of information flowing through the alternative web media, our ability to generate opposition to organized elitism has never been greater. However, this also means the stakes have never been higher. The establishment understands well that their criminality is clearly visible, and eventually, they will be personally subject to the rage of the people. The next fight could very well be the last for them. Their playbook may be old, but the tactics they use can always be applied on a grander and more terrible scale. Not only will they pursue whatever menacing distractions necessary to occupy the attentions of the public, they will also attempt to pose as guiding lights in the darkness they themselves created. They will hide behind broad generalized target groups; fabricated boogie men, branded and prepackaged like franchise coffee shops on every street corner of America’s collective psyche. Terrorists, traitors, saboteurs, whatever ethnic group happens to be convenient at the moment, whoever is easiest to present as a target for our projected malice; false enemies will be rolled out like a nightmare buffet. If our nation and the rest of the world have any chance of achieving peace and liberty, it will be because those who choose to dissent against the totalitarian tide focus on the authentic virus invading and assimilating our culture. Some call them “elitists”, “collectivists”, “centralists”, etc. They sometimes even refer to themselves as such, but the most prominent and useful label today is that of “globalist”. That said, we must ask what it is that defines these people? What makes them who they are? The following is a list of behaviors and characteristics that have been common to oligarchs through most of history. Regardless of how a political or financial leader presents himself through rhetoric, if he displays these properties in action, he is more likely than not an opponent of individual freedom and an adversary to the principles of honor and conscience that all good men strive for. 1) They Seek Centralization Of Power Does your favorite political candidate, corporate “guru”, or media shill have a history of promoting globalization, economic harmonization, socialization, etc., sacrificing the protections of sovereignty in the name of some “greater good” that never seems to come? Does every action they take only appear to benefit a select elite? Do they regimentally remove options and choices from the system? Do all of their solutions ultimately lead to the same outcome? Do all the roads they build converge towards less liberty for the masses and more control for government? Is their answer for every crisis to remove checks and balances and borders? Do they constantly claim that sovereign and Constitutional protections get in the way of “progress”? Do they use phrases like “the greater good” or “sustainable development” on a regular basis? Add them to your list of potential mass murderers, and unfriend them on your social media accounts. They do not have your best interests at heart… 2) They Enforce Policies Despite Widespread Disapproval In any healthy Republic, the political class is supposed to be the servant of the people. Their employment is supposed to be predicated on their willingness to hear and understand the wishes of their constituency. If a bill or policy arises that threatens the civil liberties or financial safety of the people, and they call for a representative to oppose it, that is exactly what he is supposed to do. If he does otherwise, and supports a damaging or unconstitutional bill while fully aware of massive voter resistance, it means he is not in fear for his job, which means his job has not necessarily been secured by our votes, which means he is likely working for somebody else; somebody who will benefit from the bill in question. Two perfect examples would be the passage of the banker bailout bills, and the indefinite detention provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act. Both were vehemently opposed by a majority of Americans on both sides of the so called political “aisle”, and yet, they were given a majority support by our representatives in government. This reveals an ulterior motivation within our government that is, to put it bluntly, treasonous. If they voted for a liberty killing bill, then cross them off your roster of principled leaders and add them to your list of enemies… 3) They Find Ways To Rationalize Any Behavior Sociopaths and psychopaths operate on their own personal form of twisted rationalism. The magic of pure cold logic untempered by conscience or intuitive wisdom is that truth can become whatever we want it to become as long as our inner voice remains repressed. For them, any crime can be vindicated as long as a perceived benefit can somehow be derived. For a globalist oligarch, however, psychopathy goes far beyond mechanical moral relativism. They are well aware that their actions are an affront to human conscience, and, they couldn’t care less. Instead, they use rationalism as a way to manipulate the public into accepting their maniacal behavior so that they can continue without interference. Globalists are so convinced of their own intellectual superiority that they feel no desire for redemption, or to compartmentalize their own evil. They embrace that evil fully as if it were a form of strength. One weakness of this philosophy is that it comes with a strange obsession; a desperate drive to inject moral relativism into all people around the globalist. This exposes an inherent reliance on surrounding environment, and dependency on one’s environment to reinforce a belief system is a significant psychological weakness. The great power that truth holds over the empire of lies is that the truth is not contingent on mass perception; it exists regardless of how many people believe in it. It is autonomous. The truth has its own soul, and arises from the ashes again and again without the benefit of mass recognition. Lies and perverted rationalizations require an astounding amount of energy and armies of the ignorant in order to exist. A foundation of lies is inferior, and thus, anyone who depends upon the existence of that foundation is also, by association, inferior. Globalists are, therefore, a sub-species, an unnecessary and outdated remnant of social evolution that should be allowed to finally fade out and die away. 4) They Promote Economic Dependency Anyone who consistently tells you that you need them in order to survive has something to gain by your dependency. A good person or government seeks to make people INDEPENDENT and self reliant, so that they can survive on their own merits and participate in the construction of their own destinies. A manipulative person or government needs people to believe that without the services the despot provides all will come to ruin. Totalitarian control cannot exist unless WE hand that control to them. If the man before you claims that there is no other way to live except through him or his system, no matter how charmingly he phrases it, add him to your list as a danger to your freedom. 5) They Belong To A Think Tank I am usually apprehensive about using a broad brush to paint any single group or subset as fully criminal and beyond repair. This kind of methodology is used daily by globalists to create rifts in societies and lure people into destroying each other. However, I have tried to the utmost of my ability to find an influential think tank with ties to the government in our modern era that does not display the despicable behaviors listed so far, and for the life of me, I can’t find a single one. From the the CFR, to the Rand Corporation, to the Washington Institute For Near East Policy, you will find many of the same exact writhing globalist tapeworms and most certainly the same exact philosophies of moral relativism on display. If they belong to a mainstream think tank, they are not a friend to liberty. 6) They Cast No Reflection In The Mirror Or perhaps I’m thinking of a different kind of monster… 7) They Promote Military Force As The Primary Means To Achieve Their Ideological Objectives Do they confront the dynamic of every social and diplomatic problem with the use of military force and the death of those who disagree with them? Does every conflict between them and another culture end with the destruction of thousands if not millions? Do they flaunt a distinct kind of “my way or the highway to hell” kind of attitude? Do they seem to crave war to the point that they are willing to manufacture excuses to fire the first missile? If they are a warmonger, then they are your enemy, even when they happen to be trying to kill people you don’t necessarily like at the moment. 8) They Offer Promises They Never Intend To Keep If a politician promises to end an illegal war and pull American troops from the battlefield if elected to office, and then doesn’t, or, pretends to pull troops out while maintaining permanent bases and shifting private Blackwater-style contractors into the field to take their place, then he is a liar. It’s that simple. If a central banker promises fiat printing and massive stimulus programs will unfreeze credit markets and generate an employment recovery within a couple of years, and the fiscal situation only becomes worse afterwards, then he is a liar. It’s that simple. If a person in a position of power continuously makes promises that are impossible to fulfill, or that he obviously knows cannot be fulfilled, then he is buying time. But buying time for what? Well, usually, he is buying time so that he can consolidate more power, and he is hoping the public will be duped into giving that power to him in exchange for false hopes and empty dreams. Any entity, corporate or governmental, that is unable to attain the public’s consent without conning them, is an enemy to the welfare of the public, and should be removed like a throbbing tick. 9) You Wouldn’t Leave Your Children Alone With Them Ask yourself, could you leave your children in a room with this person or group and feel safe about it? If the answer is an honest “No”, then how could you leave your country and your children’s future in their hands instead…? In the coming years, the American people will face numerous threats; some real, some imagined in the sterile conference rooms of a black-hearted think tanks. But, the most terrifying threat to our cultural roots of free thought, expression, and prosperity is wielded by a very particular and exclusive group of thin-blooded ego-maniacs. Identifying them is not difficult. Hiding their true nature is nearly impossible for a person or institution whose narcissism is so pronounced. They adore their own insanity and wish to share it with the world. If they fit the profile listed above, it is a guarantee that they will wreak havoc upon your life, directly or indirectly, someday. Know who they are, so that when that time comes you know who to blame, and who to bring to justice.

Orlando nightclub terrorist’s father sits behind Hillary at Kissimmee rally

August 9, 2016 By Kyle Olson

Hillary Clinton has a new champion: the homophobic father of the Orlando gay nightclub terrorist. Seddique Mateen was seen sitting just feet from the Democratic nominee during her Kissimmee, Florida rally on Monday night. It was no coincidence: the space behind the stage — directly facing the TV cameras — is always arranged by campaign staffers for the appearance of maximum diversity. At the time, Mateen didn’t want to say much, according to WPTV. “We’ve been cooperating with the federal government, and that’s about it,” he told the reporter. “Thank you.” But then they happened upon him at a West Palm Beach rest stop, and Mateen became much more chatting, offering to analyze the presidential race. “Hillary Clinton is good for United States versus Donald Trump, who has no solutions,” he said. He dodged answering whether the Clinton campaign knew he was going to be attending and if they placed him behind the candidate. But he did say he was invited. “It’s a democratic party, so everyone can join.” Mateen even had a sign made for the rally. It read: Hillary Clinton: * Makes the biggest investment since WWII * Good for national security * Ex-CIA Chief Morell “Hillary told the truth about Benghazi” * Gun control laws After Omar Mateen, Seddique’s son, killed 50 people in an Orlando gay nightclub in June, the elder Mateen didn’t blame his son, but rather the bar owners. “The first thing I want to say is that club should have had good security,” he told Sky News. “The club, that four or 300 people were coming, they should have had good security. If there was good security, he wouldn’t have had this opportunity.” “They should had a good security and why the law enforcement so late? They should have neutralized him quick,” Seddique added. “Obviously if they had that kind of experience, they should have had better security. After this, any club should have security. So if someone wants to come sick, the psycho people, or these bad people the club, they should protect that.” CBS News reported Seddique was “saddened” by his son’s actions, but indicated what happened was some sort of justice for the gay club patrons. “God will punish those involved in homosexuality,” saying it’s, “not an issue that humans should deal with.” Seddique’s son was lauded by the terror group ISIS after the killings, saying “brother Omar Mateen, one of the soldiers of the Caliphate in America.” Omar pledged allegiance to ISIS in a 911 call during the attack. When the dispatcher asked him his name, he replied, “My name is I pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi of the Islamic State.”

Hillary ‘is a straight up cop hater,’ Says Milwaukee Sheriff

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke sounds off on Hillary snubbing police

Adan Salazar - August 8, 2016

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke didn’t mince words when discussing how he felt about Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton refusing to seek endorsement from the nation’s largest police union, calling the former secretary of state a “straight up cop hater.” “She has made it clear from the convention that she is all in with the criminal element, she doesn’t care about victims of crime, she’s a straight up cop hater and so she is, like I said, rolling the dice on not having support of law enforcement. The problem for her is that middle America, mainstream America does not share her sentiment in having sympathy for criminals,” Clarke stated. The outspoken sheriff made the remarks during a Fox & Friends segment Monday, in which he called out the former First Lady for refusing to seek an endorsement from the National Fraternal Order of Police, and for her support of the Black Lives Matter social justice organization, whom Clarke believes should be labeled a hate group. Speaking with Fox & Friends on Sunday, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani also pointed to Hillary’s police union snub as evidence that she is an anti-police candidate. “The Democratic Party has become an anti-law enforcement party. And this is the best demonstration of it,” Giuliani said. “They are in a very large extent responsible for the atmosphere that’s been created in this country,” he stated. “It comes right from the top, it includes Hillary. You don’t even go talk to and seek the endorsement of one of the major police unions in the country?” “It’s because they’re embarrassed of uniformed police officers,” Giuliani added.

Erik Prince: Hillary Clinton ‘Very Likely Caused’ Iranian Nuclear Scientist’s Death

by John Hayward8 Aug 20161860 SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER

Former Navy SEAL and former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince addressed the controversy surrounding President Obama’s secret $400 million payment to Iran on Monday’s edition of Breitbart News Daily with SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon. “For the administration to deny that it was a ransom payment is a complete lie,” said Prince, adding: When you have the aircraft holding on the deck in Iran – pilots there, crew there, flight plan filed, everything waiting until the fee arrives – and of course, the administration doesn’t do it in dollars because that would be another violation of federal law, so they did it in euros and Swiss francs, once again with America paying off Iran. “The thousands of U.S. troops that have been killed or damaged by roadside bombs, especially the explosive foreign penetrators in Iraq, that was directly the responsibility of Iran, as the Marine barracks bombing was in 1983,” said Prince. “They’ve done ten times or 100 times as bad in Iraq to our own troops. Once again, the administration literally gets away with breaking the law, paying a terrorist nation the largest ransom payment I’ve ever heard of.” Bannon asked if Hillary Clinton should be considered complicit in the execution of Iranian nuclear physicist Shahram Amiri, on charges of spying for the United States, who was discussed in some of the emails on Clinton’s unsecured private server. “The physicist that came out, he defected, he was a treasure trove of information, but the CIA and the Clinton State Department botched it while he was in the States, left him pretty much unsupported,” Prince replied, calling it a major mistake to leave Amiri’s family in Iran. “The second time he calls home, the Iranian intelligence service answers the phone. Undoubtedly, they leveraged him. When the guy talks about psychological trauma here in the United States, I’m sure it’s because the Iranians were telling him all the things they were going to do to his family if he didn’t come home,” said Prince. “Once again, the administration screwed it up. He goes home; of course, he’s arrested. And then Hillary’s emails, which were in the open, certainly readable by foreign powers, were talking about Hillary’s so-called friend, who was a defection, and not an abduction, as the guy was claiming,” he added. Prince said that if the American people want to break through what Bannon described as “the media Praetorian Guard” around Clinton and Obama, to get some real coverage of the Amiri story, they should understand that “Hillary’s emails, playing fast and loose with national security matters, very likely caused this guy to die.” “He’d been sentenced to prison, but after the release of these emails, he was taken out and executed,” said Prince. He continued: When he went back to Iran, there was no talk of him being executed. Once her emails were released, he was executed. What does it mean? It means, once again, America does not take care of the people that help America. This guy was a treasure trove of information on the Iranian nuclear program. He’s dead. We leave the Pakistani doctor who helped us find bin Laden, still in Pakistani prison. “This administration, particularly Hillary Clinton, plays fast and loose with classified information, and doesn’t really care about the people who help America, and they suffer, and our national security will suffer for it yet again in the long term,” Prince concluded. Breitbart News Daily airs on SiriusXM Patriot 125 weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Eastern.

WikiLeaks CONFIRMS Hillary Sold Weapons to ISIS… Then Drops Another BOMBSHELL! Breaking News

Kosar Featured Contributor

Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, is a controversial character. But there’s no denying the emails he has picked up from inside the Democrat Party are real, and he’s willing to expose Hillary Clinton. Now, he’s announcing that Hillary Clinton and her State Department was actively arming Islamic jihadists, which includes the Islamic State (ISIS) in Syria. Clinton as repeatedly denied these claims, including during multiple statements while under oath in front of the United States Senate. WikiLeaks is about to prove Hillary Clinton deserves to be arrested: The Reagan administration officials hoped to secure the release of several U.S. hostages, and then take proceeds from the arms sales to Iran, to fund the Contras in Nicaragua. Sounds familiar? In Obama’s second term, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton authorized the shipment of American-made arms to Qatar, a country beholden to the Muslim Brotherhood, and friendly to the Libyan rebels, in an effort to topple the Libyan/Gaddafi government, and then ship those arms to Syria in order to fund Al Qaeda, and topple Assad in Syria. Clinton took the lead role in organizing the so-called “Friends of Syria” (aka Al Qaeda/ISIS) to back the CIA-led insurgency for regime change in Syria. Under oath Hillary Clinton denied she knew about the weapons shipments during public testimony in early 2013 after the Benghazi terrorist attack. In an interview with Democracy Now, Wikileaks’ Julian Assange is now stating that 1,700 emails contained in the Clinton cache directly connect Hillary to Libya to Syria, and directly to Al Qaeda and ISIS. via The Duran Here is the incredible transcript: JUAN GONZÁLEZ: Julian, I want to mention something else. In March, you launched a searchable archive for over 30,000 emails and email attachments sent to and from Hillary Clinton’s private email server while she was secretary of state. The 50,547 pages of documents span the time from June 2010 to August 2014; 7,500 of the documents were sent by Hillary Clinton herself. The emails were made available in the form of thousands of PDFs by the U.S. State Department as the result of a Freedom of Information Act request. Why did you do this, and what’s the importance, from your perspective, of being able to create a searchable base? JULIAN ASSANGE: Well, WikiLeaks has become the rebel library of Alexandria. It is the single most significant collection of information that doesn’t exist elsewhere, in a searchable, accessible, citable form, about how modern institutions actually behave. And it’s gone on to set people free from prison, where documents have been used in their court cases; hold the CIA accountable for renditions programs; feed into election cycles, which have resulted in the termination of, in some case—or contributed to the termination of governments, in some cases, taken the heads of intelligence agencies, ministers of defense and so on. So, you know, our civilizations can only be as good as our knowledge of what our civilisation is. We can’t possibly hope to reform that which we do not understand. So, those Hillary Clinton emails, they connect together with the cables that we have published of Hillary Clinton, creating a rich picture of how Hillary Clinton performs in office, but, more broadly, how the U.S. Department of State operates. So, for example, the disastrous, absolutely disastrous intervention in Libya, the destruction of the Gaddafi government, which led to the occupation of ISIS of large segments of that country, weapons flows going over to Syria, being pushed by Hillary Clinton, into jihadists within Syria, including ISIS, that’s there in those emails. There’s more than 1,700 emails in Hillary Clinton’s collection, that we have released, just about Libya alone. It appears that Hillary Clinton committed perjury, just like her husband was caught doing as President.

Hour, Polls Fraudulent, Clinton Popularity Grossly Exaggerated

The Millennium Report August 7, 2016

2016 Election Being Rigged By The Hour, Polls Fraudulent, Clinton Popularity Grossly Exaggerated

All Clinton poll data is deeply flawed, MSM articles bogus, Conditioning the electorate for a Democrat election theft Mainstream Media Shamelessly Promotes Clinton While It Fabricates Fake Stories About Trump State of the Nation The USA has never seen a presidential campaign season like 2016. Nor will the nation ever see another one like it. On the one hand, the mainstream media (MSM) has worked triple time to misrepresent the words and actions of Candidate Trump at every turn of events. On the other hand, the MSM has aggressively promoted Candidate Clinton in spite of her high crimes and multiple misdemeanors, financial frauds and political transgressions. It’s as though the real criminal can do no wrong … and the rare honest broker can do no right in the eyes of the press, the intelligentsia, the establishment and both main parties. Exposure of a rigged system Of course, there are many unintended consequences for those who are working hard in the background to rig the electoral system in 2016. Not only have these stealthy operators been working extremely hard to overturn the will of the American people, they are also committing massive fraud in broad daylight. The very same crowd stole the Democratic primary from Bernie Sanders… with his help, of course! And everyone now knows it. Sanders Shows His True Colors: Cowardice and Betrayal In the present case the same cabal of politicos is perpetrating so much criminal activity against the U.S. citizenry in an effort to steal a victory for Clinton that the whole world is now aware of their naked treachery. In point of fact, no one has ever seen so much outright fraud and transparent law-breaking, and this patently unlawful conduct will only intensify until election day. The upshot is that We the People are watching everything — in real time — and just how much manipulation of the electoral process will occur to steal this election. We are witnessing election crime-in-process like never before in US history. This, by the way, is a very good thing for all parties concerned. Because only through such egregiously fraudulent behavior will the body politic understand the profundity of the Democratic Party’s collective psychopathy. Yes, the Republican Party has been equally as guilty over the years, but the 2016 election will be the Democrat’s to steal. In reality, these politicians have been operating as career criminals since they first took office and their other prominent positions of power and influence. Electoral Calculus Points to a Trump Landslide Victory Deep State + Obama Administration + Clinton Campaign + MSM Propaganda = Personal Destruction of Trump It is now certain that Trumpophobia has gripped the establishment throughout every sphere of society. Never before have the NWO globalists ever been so afraid of a presidential election outcome. That numerous GOP heavyweights are staying home or voting for Clinton is as unprecedented as it is shocking. This simply is NOT supposed to happen—EVER! Clearly, the 1% has never been so friggin’ scared of a real populist taking a wrecking ball to their multi-decade crime spree. By all authentic accounts Donald Trump does appear to be the perfect wrecking ball as he swings throughout the concrete and steel canyons of Wall Street and K Street alike. His positions on TPP and TTIP especially wreck the NWO plans for complete globalization of the world economy. In fact Trump has already done some major damage to Bill Clinton’s signature ‘achievement’ known as the disastrous NAFTA. By revealing that single greatest threat to the American economy, he has shown it to be the real catastrophe that it has been since 1994. Trump has also exposed both Bill and Hillary Clinton as dyed-in-the-wool globalists who only serve the interests of an international crime syndicate. Much most importantly, however, Trump has drawn the stark battle lines between the treasonous elected officials and appointees in the U.S. Federal Government (e.g. FBI Director James B. Comey, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Director of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson—see videos posted below) and the patriots who have not yet been fired or retired, killed or imprisoned, injured or sickened, or suicided or forced into whistleblower status. The real problem for Trump is that, with each truthful utterance, the ever-growing New World Order conspiracy that is represented by the “Deep State + Obama Administration + Clinton Campaign + MSM Propaganda” reacts with greater ferocity. No matter what Trump says or does, the MSM has been given strict orders from the C.I.A. to spin it as a profound negative. Trump could liquidate his holdings today and feed the entire continent of Africa and this nefarious crowd would somehow twist it for Clinton’s benefit. In the meantime Hillary has been let off the hook for one crime after another. Genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, first degree murder, grand theft on a grand scale, RICO violations, high treason, 9/11 government conspiracy, Oklahoma City bombing conspiracy, Waco Branch Davidian Compound firebombing conspiracy … the list goes on and on and on. Hillary Clinton’s High Crimes and Sordid Scandals, Financial Fiascos and Political Debacles Anonymous summarizes & documents 30 year crime spree of Hillary Clinton The Clintons: Just how many bodies are there? What’s the real point here? Donald Trump has killed no one. He has not stolen from anyone. If he had, the MSM would have splashed it all over the front pages of their tabloids. Trump has not committed treason of the highest order, nor is he guilty of any war crimes. Clinton’s rap sheet is literally endless. Which is why the Deep state has gone into high gear to distract from her many acts of pathological criminality, and instead focused on his totally engineered media gaffe, that really didn’t happen. Author’s Note: This is an extremely important point. Donald Trump really is just an everyday guy … he’s just like the average Joe or Jill. He even talks like the typical guy on the street or gal next to the water cooler; not like the Palm Beach high society billionaire that he is. In other words when The Donald talks it could be you or me talking our truth on the street or at the dinner table. He just expresses the facts like anyone would who isn’t on camera or has 20 mikes pressed toward his mouth. This is where his real problem begins. He simply tells the truth the way he sees it. Politicians are NEVER supposed to utter such words of truth to the American people. They are actually selected — particularly at the federal level — based on their ability to suppress the truth and lie with a straight face. Donald, on the other hand, takes every opportunity to express the facts of any situation that he deems worthy of disclosure. The predicament that he finds himself in is that the campaign process itself has given the establishment endless instances where they screw up—BIG TIME. Trump then points that out during prime time, and then TPTB react with a greater vengeance with each successive episode. This recurring dynamic has been intensifying by the week whereby Trump points out the brutal facts and then the MSM is used to clobber him harder for being ‘political incorrect’. Of course, the people love it because The Donald is only programmed to tell the truth … AS HE SEES IT, that is. The American people have never heard a politician tell the truth like this, with the exception of John F. Kennedy … and we all know how that ended.

WHY DOES THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DISDAIN GOD?

By Reverend David Whitney August 7, 2016 NewsWithViews.com

The Democrat convention got off to a curious and raucous start as the “preacher” who led the invocation was heckled in the middle of that prayer. Todd Starnes notes, “the jeers turned into chants for Bernie Sanders, “Bernie, Bernie…I was at their convention in 2012 -- when they not only booed God -- but they tried to vote the Almighty out of their party platform.”[1] Whether you agreed with the prayer or not - and I do not agree with the con-tent of her prayer - how disrespectful can you be, and not just to the “preacher” but above all disrespectful to the Lord God. It demonstrates again that there is no fear of God in their hearts. Looking at that Democrat Platform approved by the delegates to their con-vention in Philadelphia shows how depraved those hearts are which do not fear God. Under the title “Guaranteeing Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Trans-gender Rights" (By the way we need to understand that these are religious statements, they reveal a belief system based upon a set of presuppositions. I need to mention this because the modern propaganda campaign would have us believe these are something other than a religious belief system.) Their platform states, “We support a progressive vision of religious freedom that respects pluralism and rejects the misuse of religion to discriminate. … We will also promote LGBT human rights and ensure America’s foreign policy is inclusive of LGBT people around the world.” So I understand what they are saying in that party platform by ‘progressive vision’ is they want religion to shift away from its historic moorings, from its past standards of right and wrong. They want religion to respect pluralism - that is never dare critique any of the truth claims of any belief system. They demand that all religions adopt their religion of total relativism and believe that there is nothing absolute, no standard of right or wrong. So they lie, because they claim they stand for religious freedom, but only if you believe what they believe. Then they assert that it is a misuse of religion to discriminate. This word discriminate has come under sustained assault in our day. So let’s look at what our Founders knew this word meant. To discriminate according to Webster’s 1828 Dictionary,

“1. To distinguish; to observe the difference between; as, we may usually discriminate true from false modesty. 2. To separate; to select from others; to make a distinction between; as, in the last judgment, the righteous will be discriminated from the wicked.” I love Noah Webster’s use of the Bible in these definitions. Clearly our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ at the last judgment will discriminate, that is He will distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, the later of which He will consign to the lake of fire for eternity. So their party platform would have us not act as Jesus Christ will act, not distinguish right from wrong, and by respecting so called pluralism, we will then never warn people headed for eternity in the lake of fire that their eternal immortal soul is in grave danger. In other words they would have us not help people understand the laws of the universe, not be able to distinguish between right and wrong. In essence then the Democrat platform condemns evangelism and discipleship which are the calling of every true Christian. They are saying that faithful obedience to Christ is the “misuse of religion.” And further they say that the violation God’s Holy law in regards to sexual morality is a human right. The platform states, “We will also promote LGBT human rights and ensure America’s foreign policy is inclusive of LGBT people around the world.” That is they claim we have a right to do what God says in wrong. That humans have the right to sin. And they are so devoted to this Satanic vision they intend to force every nation in the world to comply with it through the means of bribery of those other governments with U.S. Foreign aid and Foreign policy to promote sodomy. The real agenda underlying all of this is the destruction of family government and church government such that the only entity left standing is an all powerful civil government which alone commands worship, obedience and total undivided loyalty. Think of the implications to our land if their agenda is followed - the destruction of family and church, the exaltation of every form of wickedness and immorality. They scheme to accomplish this by eliminating all sin from society by redefining sin and calling it good, moral and righteous. Look at how closely this agenda aligns with Satan’s strategy. His design is to drag everyone to hell with him. All he has to do is persuade them to worship some idol other than the one true God, and get them to believe that they are not sinners headed to hell and therefore there was never a need for a redeeming sacrifice for their sins. If Satan can keep them locked in bondage to this belief system until they draw their last breath, he will have them in hell for all eternity. If you were to make a simple comparison of the major belief systems in the world - all of them have a standard as to what constitutes sin. They also have a system of sacrifice to seek atonement for sin. There is only one religion that doesn’t do this but rather denies the very existence of sin altogether and that belief system is Satanism. It would seem that Satanism is the religion adopted by the Democrat platform. Now the Democrats are not alone. Consider what our culture is doing - it is eliminating the whole idea of sin; thereby eradicating all ability to distinguish between right and wrong. Their way of dealing with the universal problem of human sin is to wave their magic wand and using some invented incantation make sin disappear completely. This is of course is a Satanic deception. Sort of like the ostrich with his head in the sand; he thinks to himself, ‘if I don't see it, or if I pretend that it does not exist then it cannot harm me.’ This is a deception of the deepest sort, in fact it is delusional. We live in the universe created by the One True God. He established all the laws, both physical and moral that govern His universe. His laws cannot be overturned, they are immutable. Satan would have his victims believe they are alright just the way they are; furthermore that anything they did wrong at any time is actually irrelevant because sin is really in the eye of the beholder. So if you don't believe sin exists, say the words and poof, it magically disappears. I think this is why Satan is working over time to promote sodomy in our day as good and moral. Every human knows deep in his heart that sodomy is an abomination. So if even this most egregious violation of God's Law, as re-vealed in nature and above all in God's Holy Word, if even this can be magi-cally transformed into something noble and good, why then all other sins can in the same manner be transformed as well - lying, stealing, and murder can be magically transformed into something good, moral and righteous. This Satanic lie is very attractive for the sinner; when they choose to believe this lie then they think their sin problem is eradicated. But woe to those who swallow this lie, they are far worse off than a sinner who knows the great problem and the penalty of his sin. So what is the real way of dealing with sin? For the reality is that all men are sinners, all have fallen short of the glory of God and that the wrath of God is reveal from heaven against all unrighteousness with the result that the wages of sin is death. This is the great Human Dilemma. Romans 6:23 states, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” The only payment for sin acceptable to God must be a sinless substitute whose blood is spilled as He dies in our place. Christ fulfilled each element of this by His death on the cross. Learn more about your Constitution with Pastor David Whitney and the “Institute on the Constitution” and receive your free gift.

Donald Trump vs. the National Security Establishment

By Ray Starmann Posted on August 8, 2016 by Ray Starmann

The GOP Establishment will do anything, including openly supporting Hillary Clinton, to ensure that Mr. Trump is defeated in November. Today, an open letter signed by fifty national security officials who served in Republican administrations from Nixon to Bush 43, was released by media outlets. The letter, minus the fifty signature blocks is printed below in italics. My comments are in regular print.

STATEMENT BY FORMER NATIONAL SECURITY OFFICIALS The undersigned individuals have all served in senior national security and/or foreign policy positions in Republican Administrations, from Richard Nixon to George W. Bush. We have worked directly on national security issues with these Republican Presidents and/or their principal advisers during wartime and other periods of crisis, through successes and failures. We know the personal qualities required of a President of the United States. Many of the undersigned worked in the George W. Bush administration and were influential in policy-making decisions that led to the disastrous US invasion of Iraq in 2003, a military operation predicated on lies, a war that played upon the fears of the American people after 9/11. None of us will vote for Donald Trump. Delightful, then you will be casting your vote for Mrs. Clinton, an incompetent, delusional liar with apparent and serious health issues; Gary Johnson, a libertarian whose only goals are to be a lifelong marijuana clinic client; Jill Stein, a left winger running on the Green Party ticket and some nameless guy from Utah who worked for the CIA. From a foreign policy perspective, Donald Trump is not qualified to be President and Commander-in-Chief. But, Mrs. Clinton surely is. Please list any accomplishments of Mrs. Clinton’s during her tenure in the Senate and as Secretary of State. I will put on some Jeopardy music and give you a couple years to come up with something. Indeed, we are convinced that he would be a dangerous President and would put at risk our country’s national security and well-being. Most fundamentally, Mr. Trump lacks the character, values, and experience to be President. Undoubtedly, Mrs. Clinton has the character, values and experience to be President. Frankly, Mrs. Clinton has the character of an alley cat, the values of Ma Barker and experience laced with a trail of incompetence, deceit and criminality as the First Lady, as a US Senator from New York and as Secretary of State. He weakens U.S. moral authority as the leader of the free world. Yet, Mrs. Clinton strengthens US moral authority by the list of felonies and misdemeanors she committed as Secretary of State. He appears to lack basic knowledge about and belief in the U.S. Constitution, U.S. laws, and U.S. institutions, including religious tolerance, freedom of the press, and an independent judiciary. Mr. Trump does not wish to temporarily ban every Muslim from entering this country, only those from nations currently supporting terrorism. I find it ironic that so called national security experts are willing to jeopardize US internal security by allowing an open door immigration policy. In addition, Mr. Trump has demonstrated repeatedly that he has little understanding of America’s vital national interests, its complex diplomatic challenges, its indispensable alliances, and the democratic values on which U.S. foreign policy must be based. At the same time, he persistently compliments our adversaries and threatens our allies and friends. Mr. Trump clearly understands America’s vital national interests, the most vital being the security of this nation over all issues. Mr. Trump, unlike Barack Obama, is clearly aware that the first constitutional duty of the President is to protect this nation from all enemies, foreign and domestic. While Mr. Putin clearly seeks a rebirth of Russian military prowess in Eastern Europe, is it not possible to converse with the man? A new Cold War, sought by so many of the signatories of this abomination, makes no sense and only benefits one group, the military-industrial complex and its servants in the US national security establishment. Unlike previous Presidents who had limited experience in foreign affairs, Mr. Trump has shown no interest in educating himself. This is an interesting statement. Are these so called national security officials living and travelling with Mr. Trump? Do they have an itemized inventory of his library at home or his digital collection on his Kindle? What books has Mrs. Clinton read lately to educate herself – Saul Alinsky’s Guide to Destroying America through Political Revolution? Das Kapital? He continues to display an alarming ignorance of basic facts of contemporary international politics. Despite his lack of knowledge, Mr. Trump claims that he understands foreign affairs and “knows more about ISIS than the generals do.” Whether Mr. Trump knows more about ISIS than the generals is unknown. What is known is that Mr. Trump has more intestinal fortitude than the current crop of JCS moral cowards and sycophants. Mr. Trump lacks the temperament to be President. In our experience, a President must be willing to listen to his advisers and department heads; must encourage consideration of conflicting views; and must acknowledge errors and learn from them. A President must be disciplined, control emotions, and act only after reflection and careful deliberation. Apparently, the national security GOP cronies who wrote this letter have never read the myriad of accounts about Hillary’s erratic temper and her fits of violence. Nor, have they apparently read about Hillary’s foul mouth and complete disrespect for the US military and the US Secret Service. A President must maintain cordial relationships with leaders of countries of different backgrounds and must have their respect and trust. In our judgment, Mr. Trump has none of these critical qualities. He is unable or unwilling to separate truth from falsehood. He does not encourage conflicting views. He lacks self-control and acts impetuously. He cannot tolerate personal criticism. Mrs. Clinton is a compulsive, delusional liar whose disregard for the truth is only exceeded by her complete abhorrence of US national security protocol. He has alarmed our closest allies with his erratic behavior. All of these are dangerous qualities in an individual who aspires to be President and Commander in-Chief, with command of the U.S. nuclear arsenal. Hillary Clinton’s erratic behavior as Secretary of State has endangered us all. Her use of a personal server to store and send classified information at the Top Secret/SCI/SAP level has most certainly allowed hostile foreign governments to obtain US intelligence information, causing grave damage to US national security. Her erratic behavior has possibly led to the execution of a US intelligence asset and Iranian scientist, Shahram Amiri, yesterday. Hillary Clinton cares about one thing, the greater good of Hillary and nothing and no one else. We understand that many Americans are profoundly frustrated with the federal government and its inability to solve pressing domestic and international problems. We also know that many have doubts about Hillary Clinton, as do many of us. But Donald Trump is not the answer to America’s daunting challenges and to this crucial election. We are convinced that in the Oval Office, he would be the most reckless President in American history. The fifty signatories claim that they have doubts about Mrs. Clinton, yet their whole letter is designed to discredit Trump, and sway voters over to her. The national security officials claim that Trump is reckless, yet he has done nothing reckless in his career to validate that statement. He is a self-made billionaire who does not represent the broken, corrupt, vile Establishment that is fleecing the average American and which is responsible for endless, unwinnable wars. The Establishment could care less about the average American. They care about one thing and one thing only, the financial gravy train that delivers on schedule to their bank accounts in the Caymans and Switzerland.

Bad Economy is Why Trump GOP Nominee-John Williams

By Greg Hunter On August 7, 2016 In Market Analysis 159 Comments

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (Early Sunday Release)

Economist John Williams says don’t believe the hype about the U.S. economy being good—it’s not. Williams explains, “I love America, but we are in a deepening recession. The economy collapsed into 2009 . . . we never really recovered from that. We had a few bounces higher, but generally, we went into low level stagnation, and now it’s turning down again. We just had a revision to the benchmark GDP (1.2%) and the numbers are nonsense. The numbers are a lot weaker than they appear. There’s no question we are in a recession. ”President Obama keeps telling the public that the economy is great. Williams, who computes economic data without accounting gimmicks that make things look better than reality, says, “If that were the case, Donald Trump would not be the Republican nominee. The voters are telling you we’ve got a problem here, and they sense it. The average guy in Main Street USA knows what’s going on. That’s what’s giving you such an unusual election year. You cannot discount that. Main Street USA knows a lot better than the bureaucrats in Washington when you are in an election year, and people might want to play with the numbers a little bit. ”Williams says don’t expect the government to start a new round of money printing before the election. Williams explains, “Let me put it this way. At such time it happens, and I believe it will, you will see heavy selling against the dollar which will tend to hurt stocks. When you get massive selling against the dollar, you are going to start spiking inflation. . . . So, the dollar weakens and gasoline prices go higher. That’s been the biggest variable in the headline inflation numbers since the panic of 2008. You see gasoline prices rising again, and you’ve got an inflation problem again. That will start all sorts of issues.” The global economy is weak, and a black swan could hit anytime and take it all down. The next crash will be the greatest ever, and Williams contends, “It will certainly be a world class event that people will be talking about for centuries.” On gold, Williams says, “I’ve been bullish on gold for as long as I have been bearish on the dollar and calling for the ultimate collapse of the dollar and hyperinflationary depression that will eventually unfold. The best hedge in that type of circumstance are the precious metals. I am talking about physical ownership of gold and silver. Personally, I prefer coins because they are liquid.” How will you know the mother of all hyperinflations has started? Williams says, “It will hit once you start seeing the dumping of the dollar. . . . There will be massive amounts of dollars the Federal Reserve is going to have to absorb. Once you start to see a panic decline in the dollar, I’d be real cautious because it can happen quickly. You will see a decline in the dollar first, and the likely trigger for the selloff in the dollar is the move back into quantitative easing.” So, what is the timing for what Williams says is a coming hyperinflationary depression? Williams says, “You could have a crisis at any moment. The circumstance is not stable for the economy or the global financial system or the banking system. There may be some type of banking crisis before the election that would force the Fed to move on quantitative easing (money printing). I think the Fed will try everything in their power to keep things stable until after the election. So, most likely the dollar selloff will come after the election. Once the dollar selloff starts, I think you will be seeing the stages of early hyperinflation well within a year.” Join Greg Hunter as he goes One-on-One with economist John Williams, founder of ShadowStats.com.

Your Tax Dollars Fund Palestinian Terror

How do U.S. aid transfers square with laws against funding terrorism? Willful blindness helps.

By David Feith Aug. 11, 2016 7:20 p.m. ET

With an indictment unsealed last week, Israeli investigators have sounded an alarm over the illicit use of global aid money to fund Palestinian terrorism. Prosecutors in the city of Beersheba allege that Mohammed El-Halabi, Gaza Strip director of the California-based charity World Vision, transferred tens of millions of dollars to Hamas to buy weapons and build underground attack tunnels. Although World Vision denies fault, the governments of Australia and Germany have halted donations pending investigations.

Satan’s Knocking on the Schoolhouse Door

Bob Barr Posted: Aug 10, 2016 12:01 am

Traditionally, after-school programs are designed to help build necessary skills in a child’s early developmental phase and supplement their academics. Kids participate to meet friends, learn new hobbies, stay physically active, or simply brush up on their reading, writing, and arithmetic. And, for many parents, after-school programs have become de facto day-care centers. However, if one organization has its way in cities and townships across America, children as young as five will be exposed to a totally new experience after school -- Satanism. As shocking as it sounds, Satanists now are fighting for their “right” to sponsor after-school programs in states from California and Utah to Georgia. If these devil-worshipers have their way, youngsters will be targeted for indoctrination in programs created by an organization that has absolutely nothing positive to offer children of this – or any other -- age. Even more troubling is the fact that feckless school leaders actually are considering such requests. Instead of resoundingly rejecting the proposals, some school and local government officials are actually considering whether they may be legally obligated to entertain the requests. “Any organization can rent our facilities after school hours as long as they pay the fee and aren't doing anything illegal,” one Utah school district apologist told a local news station; laying the foundation for a possible decision to let the Satanic group into the school. CARTOONS | Henry Payne View Cartoon If school officials oppose political and ideological messaging that, as they claim, interferes with the proper and safe administration of the schools – often the excuse for denying permission for Second Amendment oriented clubs -- then Satanist ideology clearly would not pass the same litmus test. What business does an organization whose central philosophy hinges on hedonism and self-indulgence, have to do with the educational development of elementary school children? With this in mind, the decision by government officials that “After School Satan” is not an acceptable club for young students should be a no-brainer. Yet, instead of rejecting the proposals out of hand, these ninnies dither and fret about saying “no” out of fear they might offend the sensitivities of the Left; or, worse, be accused of favoring Christianity. To the Satanists behind this trolling of public schools and local governments, the push for Satanic after-school programs is in one sense a finger in the eye of Christians. The initiative comes from the same organization that has pushed to have statues of its Satanic idol placed next to, or in place of, public displays of other religions; in particular, those of Christianity. To the Satanic Temple, such theatrics are designed to mock and belittle Christianity; but more troubling, they serve as a way to legitimize and mainstream a culturally destructive world view.

Germany to ease deportations for migrant criminals

Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere reacted to recent violent incidents in Germany with a raft of new security measures. These included a new cybercrime unit and easing the deportation of foreigners deemed dangerous. Security Germany to ease deportations for migrant criminals Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere reacted to recent violent incidents in Germany with a raft of new security measures. These included a new cybercrime unit and easing the deportation of foreigners deemed dangerous. Bundesinnenminister Thomas de Maiziere (CDU) The German government is planning a host of new security measures in the wake of a few violent incidents in Würzburg, Ansbach and Munich, including an increase in police personnel, a central crime unit for pursuing crime on the Internet, easier deportation for migrants who have committed crimes, and depriving Germans who join foreign "terror militias" of their citizenship. "I am convinced that these proposals will increase security quickly," Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere told reporters in a special press conference in Berlin on Thursday, before adding that all the proposals could be implemented in this legislative period, which ends next fall. One of the proposals was designed to make it easier to deport migrants guilty of crimes - or even potentially guilty. As part of Germany's Residence Act for foreign nationals, "endangering public safety" will be introduced as a reason to deport someone. "In this way, we will in future increasingly use the instrument of deportation for foreign criminals and people likely to cause a threat," the minister said in his statement. On top of that, a new task force will be created to concentrate on speeding up individual cases of foreign criminals who are in line for deportation. A pilot project along such lines has already been set up in North Rhine-Westphalia. New cyber-investigation unit De Maiziere insisted that security forces had been continually strengthened throughout his tenure, but that new measures were still necessary. Apart from a 2-billion-euro ($2.2 billion) increase in funding for the federal police, de Maiziere said that "technical capabilities" for "cyber-investigation" would be gathered in a new joint unit - the "Central Office for Information in Security Sphere" (ZITiS). ZITiS will support security forces by developing "methods, products and strategies to fight criminality and terrorism on the Internet." The new office will be set up at the beginning of next year and will eventually include 400 officials, including investigators specializing in trawling the so-called "darknet" for illegal weapons trading and terrorist communication. The teenager who shot nine people in a Munich shopping mall on July 22 is believed to have bought his gun illegally via the darknet. De Maiziere also announced an increase and upgrade of video surveillance technology in German railways stations. Patient-doctor confidentiality De Maiziere also tried to diffuse the row that has developed in the last few days over his alleged plans to weaken doctors' obligation to patient confidentiality - potentially forcing doctors to report mental health patients who might pose a threat to public safety. The German Medical Association had preemptively warned against any such plans on Wednesday. The minister said he was "aware of the sensitivity" of this problem and for that reason proposed a meeting between the government and the association's president, Frank Ulrich Montgomery, to disucss "how we can preserve the duty to confidentiality while reducing the risks for citizens as much as possible." Similarly, de Maiziere sought a compromise on the row over dual nationality, another issue where state interior ministers (two of whom are caught in election campaigns) have been pushing for an outright ban. Instead, de Maiziere said that German citizens who fight for "terror militias" abroad would be deprived of their citizenship. On top of that, "sympathetic promotion" of terrorism would also become a crime. Germany's new security plans also involve better prevention, with integration teachers being trained to deal with war trauma. On top of this, refugees will be offered better opportunities to report signs of psychological changes or signs of radicalization among their peers. 'Slap in the face for populist agitators' Meanwhile, de Maiziere resisted calls from state interior ministers - and also members of his Christian Democratic Union (CDU) - to ban the face-covering Islamic dress the burqa in Germany. He called the idea "constitutionally problematic" and added: "You can't ban everything you oppose, and I oppose wearing the burqa." Sigmar Gabriel, vice chancellor and head of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), junior partner in Germany's governing coalition, showed satisfaction with the minister's plan, a day after warning the CDU against knee-jerk reactions. "The SPD is ready to talk about anything that will contribute to heightening security," he told the "Funke Mediengruppe" newspaper group. "But we're not available for populist rush jobs." He added that de Maiziere's refusal to entertain blanket bans on the burqa and dual nationality had been a "slap in the face" for the "agitators" of the CDU. Opposition politicians were less enthusiastic about the tightening of laws governing foreign nationals in Germany. Volker Beck said de Maiziere's plans would do little to increase security. In a statement, the Green party's migration spokesman dismissed threatening jihadists with losing their German citizenship as "despairing politicking." And Beck added that speeding up deportations was not as easy as de Maiziere suggested, not least because many refugees do not have valid papers. "The fact is that not a few embassies simply refuse to issue passports for those affected," he said. "Accusations and tightening residence laws makes precious little difference. We'd be better advised to give all people whose deportations are impossible for actual reasons, the prospect of staying."

NavyJack – WARNING: Christian Churches Must Prepare for Battle with ISIS or Close Their Doors

ISIS recently released the 15th issue of its official magazine Dabiq. This latest issue is titled “BREAK THE CROSS”. The issue focuses on waging war against Christians and the Sign of the Cross. In the foreword to its magazine, ISIS damns Christians as “cross worshipers,” pagans and idolaters because of their belief in the Holy Trinity. It says Jesus Christ himself was a “slave to Allah” who will return in the last days to wage jihad and “break the crosses”. ISIS encourages followers to build upon the recent success in Normandy France by expanding the attacks to all Christian churches, congregations and pastors. In the recent attack in France, two ISIS terrorists entered a Catholic church and slit the throat of an elderly priest on the altar while he was saying mass. A nun was also critically injured in the attack. The magazine articles make it perfectly clear that there will be no end to the killing of Christians until all of western civilization embraces Islam: “The fact is, even if you were to stop bombing us, imprisoning us, torturing us, vilifying us, and usurping our lands, we would continue to hate you because our primary reason for hating you will not cease to exist until you embrace Islam.” Citing analysts at the SITE intelligence group, the Daily Mail and Charisma News report that London, New York City and Washington, D.C. are at the top of the ISIS hit list of cities it plans to target next. “Our Battle on Your Land Has Not Started Yet Be Upon You Only Waiting” The Christian Times, in cooperation with the FBI, is reporting that ISIS is creating “Kill Lists” using online church directories to target churches, congregations and pastors in Texas, New York, California and Florida. According to the report, the “kill lists” name nearly 15,000 Americans to be eliminated. In an article titled “ISIS: CHRISTIANS ARE PAGAN CROSS WORSHIPPERS”, WND author Leo Hohmann reviews the latest issue of Dabiq and provides insight from former FBI counter-terrorism specialist John Guandolo: “On the one hand, ISIS calls on the population of Europe to abandon their infidelity and accept Islam, the religion of sincerity and submission to the Lord of the heavens and the earth. On the other hand, they threaten continual warfare against those who do not” Guandolo advises churches to increase security and to use real men who are members of the church. He adds that If they cannot find any men in the church who know how to use weapons, they should close their doors. The guidance in the new edition of Dabiq is clear. The next phase of Islamic terrorism will target Christian churches, just like in France. The magazine gives firm orders to all the lone-wolfs and ISIS cells operating in America; attack Christians in their churches, immediately. “We call you to reflect on these questions as the bloodthirsty knights of the Caliphate continue to wage their war of just terror against you.” “Follow the final messenger, Muhammad g, for in doing so you will be following all of the prophets If you refuse, then we offer you the option to pay jizyah and live under the authority of Islam in humiliation. If you refuse, then the only thing between you and us is the sword.” – Abu Sa’d at-Trinidadi COMMENT FROM OATH KEEPERS FOUNDER, STEWART RHODES: “If you refuse, then the only thing between you and us is the sword.” – Abu Sa’d at-Trinidadi. That works both ways. The only thing between you and us is the sword. Sounds good. Bring it. “Guandolo advises churches to increase security and to use real men who are members of the church. He adds that If they cannot find any men in the church who know how to use weapons, they should close their doors.” That statement is a bit ironic. To “use real men who are members of the church,” you first have to have real men in the church – as in men who act like men and close with, and kill the enemy when he shows up, not like the wimpy Frenchmen in that Catholic church in Normandy. And to think of all the American, British, and Canadian REAL MEN who fought, bled, and died in Normandy, only to have the modern, emasculated, French metro-sexuals flee from the church, screaming like school-girls, as their elderly priest had his throat slit by two Jihadist goblins. What the hell did our men die for? For a France that is now a perfect petri dish full of Jizyah paying dhimminitude? Where the cry is o longer “Vive la France!” but is instead “better a live coward, than a dead hero, let the old priest fend for himself!” My Grandfather on my father’s side fought as an infantryman in the Battle of the Bulge. I am now glad he has long since passed on so he didn’t have to see what has become of the Europe he fought for. But what about here in America? Are there real men in your church? Are they armed and “switched on” during service, to safeguard the church and those who worship inside? Are the morally, psychologically, and physically prepared to close with and kill the enemy when he shows up? This threat is real, and it is going to happen here. A church will be hit. And it might be yours. Get ready. Go armed, in church, and organize your church men’s group into an armed security force for the church. They must all be armed, since you can’t reason with a jihadist. You can’t “negotiate” with him. The only way to change his mind is with a bullet. I recommend semi-automatic, high capacity handguns of at least 9mm caliber, with at least one spare magazine, and a no-nonsense knife. And then, at a minimum, a couple of shotguns discretely hidden but within easy reach of members of the security team. And it would be foolish to rely only on armed men inside the church. You need men on the outside too. At the very least, you need a minimum of two armed men outside the church (and ideally they should have rifles nearby, in addition to their handguns), who are watching who approaches the church (more is better, including someone who is not easily seen, such as sitting in a car watching from a distance). Then you need at least two in the main entry way, watching who enters and what they do as they enter. Then you need at least two more carrying concealed in the main room, watching the entrances and the people in the church, not the sermon. And if you really want your pastor/preacher/priest to be safe, then assign at least two men to guard him, within ten feet of him at all times. They are there to push the pastor down out of the line of fire, or to tackle or shoot a close range threat. Think in layers, and in multiple teams of two. No man should work alone. Always in teams of two or more. And they need radios, so they can communicate (and ideally earpieces so they can do so discretely). And encourage others in the congregation to also go armed, and to join the security team. Get them all trained and practiced in working together, and prepare yourselves for what is coming. We here at Oath Keepers can, and will help. We would be happy to have our experienced military and police veterans come to your church, do a security assessment, and help to train your men’s group (and the ladies too!) to protect the church. Many of our members have recent training and experience dealing with active shooters, terrorists, and high threat environments (many of them spent considerable time in Iraq and Afghanistan). We can help. Just email us and put “church security training” in the subject line. This is exactly what our Community Preparedness Teams (CPTs) are supposed to be doing – training the community to defend itself. That is job one for a CPT. And given the threat, those CPTs need to give high priority to any church that requests help. And, if your church is on an ISIS hit list, or if it has received a direct threat, or you otherwise believe your threat-level is very high, then contact us and we will do our best to put a security team of Oath Keepers on your church until you can get one of your own trained up. But the ultimate goal should be for the men in the church to be the ones to guard the church. Get ready. It is coming. Stewart Rhodes

Muslims slaughter 13 Christians, run hundreds off their land

Massacre comes amid reports of U.S. news blackout of Christian 'genocide'

Published: 2 days ago Leo Hohmann

Muslim Fulani herdsmen attacked a cluster of Christian villages in Kaduna state in northern Nigeria last week, killing at least 13 Christians and scattering members of three churches, area sources said. A survivor of the attacks told Morning Star News that the herdsmen killed two Christian women in Ninte village on Aug. 1, and that she knew of eight Christians killed in Gada Biyu on Aug. 2. Local newspapers reported nine people were killed in Gada Biyu, with another two men killed in Akwa’a on Aug. 3. News of the massacre comes on the same day a new report was released by Media Research Center showing the U.S. media have covered up the genocide of Christians in the Middle East. One of hundreds of Christians displaced from the area, Martha Yohanna of Alheri Baptist Church in Gada Biyu village, told Morning Star News that the attacks on Ninte and Gada Biyu villages were carried out by Muslim Fulani herdsmen. The Muslim herdsmen have become heavily armed in recent years. “On Aug. 1 at about noon in Ninte, the Fulani herdsmen attacked two Christian women and a man while they were on their farm,” she said. “They cut them with machetes. A woman and her daughter in-law were killed by the Fulani herdsmen while the man is still in the hospital as I talk with you.” The next day, the Fulani herdsmen killed eight Christians in Gada Biyu, including five identified only as Friday, Akoro, Mamman, Danladi, and Jerry, she said. Her brother-in-law, 25-year-old Joseph, is missing and is presumed to have been killed by the herdsmen, Yohanna told the news service. “It is over a week now that he has not been seen, and nothing has been heard about him,” she said. On Aug. 3, after security forces had turned away the herdsmen, she said the assailants returned to Gada Biyu at about 6 p.m. to burn down houses. “They carried out the destruction for three hours,” Yohanna said. “I escaped from Gada Biyu to Gidan Waya on Monday [Aug. 1] when the Fulani came to attack the village at noon, and returned on Wednesday afternoon to retrieve some of our clothing. By the evening of that Wednesday, the Fulani herdsmen returned to my village to destroy our homes. They lit fire on some houses before policemen and soldiers were brought there to repel them.” What genocide? The Washington-based Media Research Center issued a special report Wednesday titled “Shameful Silence” in which it spotlights the whitewashing by the U.S. media of the Christian genocide going on in the Middle East. The report details the broadcast news networks’ silence on Christian genocide in the Middle East. Below is a summary of their findings. What Genocide?: Between January 2014 and June 2016, the network evening news shows referred to persecution against Christians in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia just 60 times. Despite telling of murders, forced religious conversions and mass displacement, the networks refused to add up the thousands of atrocities to what they clearly amount to: genocide. Just 6 of the 60 reports used the word genocide. Even when Secretary of State John Kerry officially declared in March 2016 that ISIS was engaging in genocide, CBS didn’t report it. Media Kept Calling Darfur ‘Genocide’: During the George W. Bush administration, the networks had no problem calling the situation in Darfur genocide, even before the U.S. officially called it that. Once it did, they referred to the Darfur “genocide” 38 times in two years. Journalists should have known: If network reporters had even connected the dots of their own reports, they should have known and reported on what was really happening to Christians. By their own reporting, hundreds of thousands of Christians are “on the run” from their homes, mass graves have been found, and Christians have been forced to “convert or die.” In addition, network journalists could have watched their own news magazine shows. Both ABC’s Nightline and CBS’s 60 Minutes have aired excellent long-form stories on the atrocities, though neither show used the word genocide. Pandering to Obama’s downplaying the slaughter: The six instances where the networks have used “genocide” or equivalent terms, they’ve tended to lump Christians in with Yazidis and Shia Muslims as victims, echoing the Obama administration’s reluctance to focus on the anti-Christian violence. During the two years MRC Culture analyzed, one source has recorded 226 Muslim- on-Christian attacks. At least 125 churches have been attacked. According to one Christian group, 7,000 Christians worldwide were killed because of their faith in 2015 alone. Yet even when the Obama administration has (officially and unofficially) called the Christian persecution in Iraq and Syria genocide, the networks almost never used the word. Meanwhile stories of harrowing escapes are emerging from Nigeria. Gada Biyu, near the Kafanchan, has three Christian congregations that were displaced as a result of the attack, Yohanna said: Alheri Baptist Church, Sabon Rai Baptist Church and an Evangelical Church Winning All. “The three pastors escaped from the village during the attack, and since the attack have not returned to the village,” she said. “My pastor, the Rev. Nathan Jaweson of Alheri Baptist Church, on Monday, following the killing of the two women in Ninte village, evacuated his family to Godogodo and returned to Gada Biyu.” The pastor narrowly escaped being killed on Aug. 2 as he swam across the river at Gada Biyu. He’s now living as a refugee in Kafanchan. The pastor of the ECWA church has fled to Godogodo, while the whereabouts of the pastor of Sabon Rai Baptist Church are unknown, Yohanna said. Because of the attacks, the three churches of Gada Biyu held no worship services on Sunday (Aug. 7). Alheri Baptist Church normally has about 300 members.

Marine who was court-martialed after putting up Bible verse at her desk loses First Amendment appeal in 'outrageous' federal court decision

Marine Lance Corporal Monifa Sterling lost her 2014 court-martial

One of the charges was for not removing Bible verses from her desk

She lost a challenge to that decision Wednesday in a federal court

Judges ruled 4-1 her rights weren't 'substantially burdened'

It said she may have been motivated by 'animosity' towards bosses

By James Wilkinson For Dailymail.com Published: 14:07 EST, 11 August 2016 | Updated: 01:52 EST, 12 August 2016

A Marine who was court-martialed after refusing to take biblical verses down from her desk has lost her federal appeal, in a decision her representative called 'outrageous'. Marine Lance Corporal Monifa Sterling lost a 2014 court-martial at her base in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, based in part on her refusal to remove the verses. She challenged that action but was told Wednesday that she had lost the case after it was ruled that the order was not a 'substantial burden' on her First Amendment rights, Fox News reported. 'We reject the argument that every interference with a religiously motivated act constitutes a substantial burden on the exercise of religion,' said the US Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, the highest military court, in a 4-1 decision. 'In this case, the record does not clearly address whether (Sterling's) conduct was based on a "sincerely held religious belief" or motivated by animosity toward her chain of command,' it added. 'Military orders are presumed to be lawful and are disobeyed at the subordinate’s peril.' 'This is absolutely outrageous,' Kelly Shackelford, president of First Liberty Institute, which represented Sterling. 'A few judges decided they could strip a Marine of her constitutional rights just because they didn't think her beliefs were important enough to be protected.' Judge Kevin Ohlson, who wrote the dissenting opinion, agreed, saying: 'while the military's asserted interest in good order and discipline surely deserves great deference, it does not demand reflexive devotion.' Sterling, a Christian, had posted a modified form of Isiah 54:17 that read 'No weapon formed against me shall prosper' in three areas at her workspace. She refused to remove them when ordered, saying that the three identical verses represented the Holy Trinity. Her commanding officer then threw the verses in the trash, at which point she printed them back out. This process repeated until the officer added the incident to a number of offenses for which she was court-martialed. Those included disrespecting a superior officer, disobeying lawful orders, and failing to report to an assigned duty. She was reduced in rank to Private and given a bad-conduct discharge and later left the service. If a Marine is awarded a bad-conduct or dishonorable discharge, he or she can lose access to government benefits.

Woman tells police she was RAPED by a Pokemon Go character after she felt an ‘assault’... and the virtual reality game detected the creature in her bedroom

The woman said she woke up to find a Pokemon on top of her in bed

She had been playing the popular game in her home before she slept

Police dismissed her claims and told her to seek psychiatric help

Pokemon Go was downloaded 15 million times in its first week in the US

Players use GPS to locate, capture, battle, and train virtual creatures

By Simon Holmes For Mailonline Published: 03:38 EST, 11 August 2016 | Updated: 07:55 EST, 11 August 2016

Police say a young woman has lodged a formal complaint that she has been raped - by a Pokemon. She told officers that she had been sexually assaulted by a giant Pokemon in her apartment in the Russian capital city of Moscow. The married woman, whose name has not been released, had reportedly been playing Pokemon GO before she fell asleep. She claimed that she woke up to find a huge Pokemon lying on top of her body and says it was raping her. The woman says the Pokemon disappeared when she jumped out of bed - but says the Pokemon GO app on her phone could still detect the same virtual character's presence on her bed. She woke up her husband to tell her what had happened who told police officers that he did not believe her and told her to see a psychiatrist. Russian news website Bloknot reports that the police did not believe her either and that the woman then went to see a psychic who was unable to help her. Ivan Makarov, the woman's friend, said: "She says there are too many Pokemon at her place and even the dog can sense them. She says the dog barks whenever she plays Pokemon GO." Mr Makarov said that his friend had eventually accepted her husband's advice, in desperation, and had booked an appointment with a psychiatrist. Pokemon GO, a free-to-play, location-based augmented reality game for iOS and Android devices, has become a huge craze since it launched in July 2016. Players use GPS to locate, capture, battle, and train virtual creatures, called Pokemon, who appear on screen as if they were in the same real-world location as the player.

1883 Krakatoa erupts

The volcanic island of Krakatoa near Indonesia erupts on this day in 1883, killing thousands in one of the worst geologic disasters of modern times. The beginning of the amazing events at Krakatoa in 1883 date to May 20 when there were initial rumblings and venting from the volcano, which had been dormant for about 200 years. Over the next three months, there were regular small blasts from Krakatoa out of three vents. On August 11, ash started spewing from the small mountain. Eruptions got progressively stronger until August 26, when the catastrophe began. At noon, the volcano sent an ash cloud 20 miles into the air and tremors triggered several tsunamis. This turned out to be just a small indication, however, of what would follow the next day. For four-and-a-half hours beginning at 5:30 a.m. on August 27, there were four major and incredibly powerful eruptions. The last of these made the loudest sound ever recorded on the planet. It could be heard as far away as central Australia and the island of Rodrigues, 3,000 miles from Krakatoa. The air waves created by the eruption were detected at points all over the earth. The eruption had devastating effects on the islands near Krakatoa. It set off tremendous tsunamis that overwhelmed hundreds of villages on the coasts of Java and Sumatra. Water pushed inland several miles in certain places, with coral blocks weighing 600 tons ending up on shore. At least 35,000 people died, though exact numbers were impossible to determine. The tsunamis traveled nearly around the world–unusually high waves were noticed thousands of miles away the next day. The volcano threw so much rock, ash and pumice into the atmosphere that, in the immediate area, the sun was virtually blocked out for a couple of days. Within a couple of weeks, the sun appeared in strange colors to people all over the world because of all the fine dust in the stratosphere. Over the ensuing three months, the debris high in the sky produced vivid red sunsets. In one case, fire engines in Poughkeepsie, New York, were dispatched when people watching a sunset were sure that they were seeing a fire in the distance. Further, there is speculation that Edvard Munch’s 1893 painting “The Scream” depicting a psychedelic sunset may have actually been a faithful rendering of what Munch saw in Norway in the years following the eruption of Krakatoa. The amount of dust in the atmosphere also filtered enough sun and heat that global temperatures fell significantly for a couple of years. Krakatoa was left only a tiny fraction of its former self. However, in the intervening years, a small island, Anak Krakatoa (“Son of Krakatoa”) has arisen from the sea. It is growing at an average of five inches every week. This island is receiving a great deal of scientific attention, as it represents a chance to see how island ecosystems are established from scratch.

MSM To Admit Hillary Clinton Is Mentally Diminished, But According To Them, That Is Good For America!

August 11, 2016 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

Since images of Hillary Clinton needing two of her social security detail to help her up a short set of stairs went viral, followed by documents alleging that she was suffering from dementia, Clinton puppets in the MSM have been attempting to do damage control but it hasn't worked, so now they are laying groundwork for the new official narrative before they publicly admit that Hillary Clinton is, indeed, mentally diminished. Less that a week after the Drudge Report splashed the image of an unbalanced Hillary Clinton holding on to her SS agents in order to climb stairs from February 2016, and just days after another image from April was revealed showing Hillary needing to be held up while giving a speech, in the midst of claims that she was also suffering dementia and partial seizures, the Associated Press, suddenly publishes an article with the following headline. "Some great leaders had mental illness - it may have helped." I kid you not! Not one mention of Hillary Clinton in the AP article, but the timing of this blatant attempt to minimize the fallout for the Clinton campaign couldn't be any clearer. Now that they can no longer hide Hillary Clinton's mental issues, they are planning to admit it, but not until they have convinced the mindless sheep that still read and believe them, that having a mental illness is actually beneficial and makes a "leader" better, rather than hindering them or putting America's national security in jeopardy. Saying someone has psychiatric issues, "in my view ... is a compliment," said Ghaemi, author of the book "A First-Rate Madness: Uncovering the Links between Leadership and Mental Illness." He used medical and historical records to analyze historical figures. Manic depressive people are often more creative, more empathetic and realistic than the more mentally healthy, Ghaemi said. These people tend to succeed in times of crisis and fail in times of peace and prosperity, he said. The MSM truly believes the American people are gullible enough to not understand the timing of this new narraitive, to not see how they are attempting to "spin" the news of Hillary's diminshed mental health as a plus, something the sheeple of the country should want in a leader, before they finally come out and admit Hillary is a very sick woman, mentally and physically. Recent polling suggests that a majority of Americans believe presidential candidates should release their most recent medical records to the public. 59 percent now say that, up from 38 percent in May 2014. On August 8, 2016, Michael Krieger asked why the media wasn't covering Clinton's bizarre behavior, pointing out that recent images and videos, in isolation wouldn't be a huge deal, but seen together, they point to some very serious issue. Kreiger also took screenshots of search results showing the MSM was participating in a media blackout on Hillary's strange behavior. In fact, the rare articles we find that do address the topic are those claiming Hillary's health issues are " largely considered a fringe issue," as CNN claims on August 8, 2016. The Washington Post covered the story, but claim that images and videos have been "wretched out of context," and critics question #HillarysHealth are armed with "junk science" and old photos, depite those "old" images being from 2016. In other words, nothing to see here, move along.... It didn't work, and now the media is going to plan B, a new narrative, mental health problems make better leaders they claim, so that when they admit the speculation is correct, and that Hillary is suffering from medical issues that causes diminished mental capacity, it isn't a problem, it is plus! Expect to see more of the MSM jumping onto that new narrative.

Hillary Clinton doesn’t miss an opportunity to ridicule Donald Trump’s illegal immigration solution of a wall on the southern border — but that’s exactly what she’s deployed to keep undesirables away from her. “First of all, as I understand him, he’s talking about a very tall wall, a beautiful tall wall, the most beautiful tall wall, better than the Great Wall of China, that would run the entire border,” Clinton riffed in March. “He would somehow magically get the Mexican government to pay for it. It’s just fantasy.” A series of photos reveal a massive barrier running the entire border of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s estate in Chappaqua, New York — undoubtedly intended to keep the unwashed masses away from the political elites. This aerial photo shows the high white fence surrounding the Clintons’ property: But that doesn’t quite do it justice — this isn’t some rinky dink picket fence. Only ground level views reveal how imposing the wall is: The security guard in this photo gives it some perspective — it must be at least 10 feet high.

The Case against Hillary Clinton

By Ray Starmann Posted on August 11, 2016 

During the last two weeks, Hillary Clinton has been rising in the polls, although the polls are indeed skewed in her favor. She has been able to distract many uninformed voters, who are more focused on fertilizing their lawn and weekend boating adventures this summer than political campaigns. She has been able to distort her record with the dexterity and aplomb of a safe cracker, while continuing to deny that she has been anything but the most stainless civil servant and a model citizen of the Republic. The Clinton Campaign is being assisted at every level by much of the press, which is hell bent on installing Madame Secretary into the White House and is willing to use any means at its disposal. By deflecting the public away from eight disastrous years of the Obama Administration and Mrs. Clinton’s foibles, Mr. Trump has been the target of a giant disinformation campaign that the KGB would have envied. Frankly, the American people deserve an honest appraisal of Mrs. Clinton’s record that is not distorted by liberal media outlets. US Senate – (2000 – 2008) As the Democratic Senator from New York, Mrs. Clinton authored no significant legislation, while serving on five committees. Her biggest accomplishment may have been voting for the Iraq War in 2003. Secretary of State – (2009 – 2013) Mrs. Clinton began her service as the nation’s chief diplomat by setting up a private and completely non-secure server in the lavatory closet of a Rocky Mountain hipster company. The server was not able to encrypt classified information, and the people who ran the company were lacking in one important credential they needed to store such a server, security clearances. During her tenure at Foggy Bottom, Mrs. Clinton routinely sent and received classified information all the way up to Top Secret/SCI and SAP. Both SCI and SAP information are highly sensitive and their disclosure to hostile foreign governments can cause GRAVE damage to US national security. It is highly probable that hostile foreign governments hacked into Mrs. Clinton’s server and obtained copies of tens of thousands of classified emails that outlined some of the most sensitive information the US government possesses. She has only avoided indictment because of a politically bent Department of Justice and a corrupt and malleable Attorney General, Loretta Lynch. The recent execution of US intelligence asset, Iranian scientist Shahram Amiri, may be linked to her careless disregard of the nation’s national security laws and mishandling of classified information. The late Mr. Amiri was referred to as “Our Friend” in several emails pertaining to Iran that were processed by Mrs. Clinton’s non-secure server. How many more brave souls in the service of America worldwide are in danger of losing their lives because of one incompetent Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton? The current US operations to destroy ISIS in Libya could be renamed “Operation Clean Up Hillary’s Mess.” Mrs. Clinton oversaw the overthrow of Libyan dictator Colonel Qaddafi, which immediately created a power vacuum that ISIS stepped into. Her failure to provide proper security at the US Embassy in Benghazi after 600 requests for security upgrades and reinforcement of personnel resulted in the deaths of Americans, including the US Ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens. When questioned by the press and the relatives of the personnel killed at the embassy, Mrs. Clinton and Susan Rice fabricated a tale about an obscure video that supposedly inspired locals to riot and storm the embassy compound. In actuality, the Benghazi Embassy Attack was a coordinated, planned terrorist operation. To this day, Mrs. Clinton refuses to acknowledge the truth about Bengahzi. In fact, today, Wikileaks reported that they have information which indicates that Mrs. Clinton was involved in directing sales of weapons to ISIS, something she denied to Congress while under oath. Egypt – Both Mrs. Clinton and Obama supported the Arab Spring and the downfall of Hosni Mubarak, a pro-American and pro-Israel ally. The fall of Mubarak eventually led to a military coup and the installation of an un-democratic, anti-American government under General al-Sisi. Syria – As the Syrian Civil War began, Mrs. Clinton dithered and failed to provide any US support to rebel groups in the country. Believing Assad’s collapse was imminent, her lackadaisical attitude toward the conflict allowed ISIS to form and gain power in Syria and in Northwest Iraq. A three-fold nightmare has ensued. Assad has remained in power, and has caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people, ISIS now controls parts of Syria and the Russians have arrived to ensure that Assad never loses power. Syria is now a humanitarian disaster thanks to Secretary Clinton’s ineptitude. The debacle in Syria also created the current refugee crisis in Europe. Iraq Early Withdrawal – Mrs. Clinton claims that she was against the early pull out from Iraq in 2012. That may or may not be true. What is true is that she failed to secure a status of forces agreement with the new Iraqi government. The early withdrawal of US forces created an opportunity for Iran to move in and assert its authority as anarchy reigned throughout much of the country after the US withdrawal. Russian Reset – The so-called Russian Reset is nothing short of a total debacle. Under Mrs. Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State, the US turned its back on allies in Eastern Europe after promising to deploy missile interceptors. NATO became a paper tiger that sat and watched the Russians take the Crimea, move across Eastern Ukraine’s border, fly bombers off the US mainland and violate nuclear and missile test ban treaties. Clinton Foundation – Recent disclosures by Julian Assange and Wikileaks indicate that the Clinton Foundation may very well be a criminal, pay for play, racketeering operation. According to released emails, foreign leaders paid bribes in the millions, in exchange for favors from the State Department and Secretary Clinton’s manipulation of US foreign policy. The self-professed spokesman for women has taken money from countries that persecute women and deny them freedom every day, like Saudi Arabia. Even more stupefying, is the Department of Justice’s refusal to investigate the Clinton Foundation after repeated requests by the FBI. Not only is Mrs. Clinton responsible for many of the current problems in the world, but she has apparently profited from them. Hillary Clinton’s Platform – There is really nothing we haven’t seen before in Hillary’s platform. It’s more organic, gluten free tofu for liberals: shred the Second Amendment, abortion as freely available as fast food, open borders, un-vetted Muslim immigration, refusing to identify Radical Islam as the enemy of humanity and fighting ISIS with one hand and a butter knife. Mrs. Clinton’s economic plan is a gigantic, big government jobs program that would put the country further in debt. It all adds up to the typical Democratic dreams of a utopia that has no relationship with the actual state of the world. Health – Secretary Clinton’s health is under scrutiny this last week after a picture on the Drudge Report showed aides helping her walk up a flight of stairs. The Internet is saturated with videos of her losing track of her thoughts, having mild seizures and fainting spells. She has suffered three concussions in the past and may have brain damage from those injuries. She may very well be in the first stages of dementia. It is imperative that her full medical records are released and the American people have an accurate picture of her health. In fact, she could very well be medically unfit to serve as the President. Personality – Mr. Trump is under constant attack by the liberal media and Hillary Clinton for apparently not having the right temperament for the Presidency. On the contrary, it is Mrs. Clinton who has a track record of violent mood swings, throwing objects at people during temper tantrums, use of abusive and foul language to subordinates and blatant disrespect for the US Secret Service and the military. Conclusions: Mrs. Clinton’s record is one of little accomplishment, much hypocrisy and many failures worldwide. Her actions show a pattern of recklessness, ruthlessness, dishonesty, incompetence and probable criminal behavior. Mrs. Clinton believes that the world owes her the Presidency because she served as First Lady, as the Democratic Senator from New York, as Secretary of State and because she is a woman. But, this is 2016 and her cries of “I am woman!” fall on many deaf ears. Our nation is in deep trouble. Our economy is failing, nearly 97 million Americans simply aren’t working, one in five families have no one in the household who is employed, millions of Americans are on food stamps and our military has become a politically correct weakling, laughed at by our enemies around the globe. If elected, Mrs. Clinton would continue many of the policies of the current administration, policies that are destroying America and causing mayhem across the globe. Mr. Trump may be a political novice, and perhaps his Achilles Heel is thinking out loud too often. But, he is a highly skilled businessman who has a realistic view of the world, our nation’s maladies and how to fix them. More than that, he is a nationalist, an American patriot who has rallied a downtrodden nation in a wave of populist euphoria. Let us hope and pray that the populist euphoria can take him to the White House in January.

Strange bulges under Hillary’s coat suggest a defibrillator vest

Posted on August 12, 2016 by Dr. Eowyn | 35 Comments

Remember this photo of Hillary Clinton being assisted by two men to walk up a few steps to what appears to be a residential home? It was a private fundraiser on the evening of February 24, 2016 in the home of Lisa and Joseph Rice in Charleston, SC. (The Rices’ palatial home is actually in Mount Pleasant, a suburb of and part of the Charleston municipality.) Joseph Rice, 62, is a prominent attorney, the co-founder and co-owner of the law firm Motley Rice LLC. A 2008 article in The Post and Courier described him as: “Rice shook down Big Tobacco for nearly $250 billion, brokered billions more in asbestos suits and has represented clients whose family members died aboard the Sept. 11 flights. In the process, he has made himself a millionaire many times over.” Here’s a video of the fundraiser event in the Rices’ home. Pay special attention to Hillary’s back in the beginning of the video: Did you notice those strange bulges on her upper back, although she was wearing a roomy coat-jacket? Here’s a screenshot from the video, with painted red arrows pointing to the bulges: Below are more (cropped) screenshots I took from the video. I highlighted the bulges with yellow arrows and circles: Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit thinks Hillary’s bulges are from a defibrillator vest. rom the website Zoll.LifeVest: What Is the LifeVest Wearable Defibrillator? The LifeVest wearable defibrillator is a treatment option for sudden cardiac arrest that offers patients advanced protection and monitoring as well as improved quality of life. The LifeVest is the first wearable defibrillator. Unlike an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), the LifeVest is worn outside the body rather than implanted in the chest. This device continuously monitors the patient’s heart with dry, non-adhesive sensing electrodes to detect life-threatening abnormal heart rhythms. If a life-threatening rhythm is detected, the device alerts the patient prior to delivering a treatment shock, and thus allows a conscious patient to delay the treatment shock. If the patient becomes unconscious, the device releases a Blue™ gel over the therapy electrodes and delivers an electrical shock to restore normal rhythm. Those strange bulges on her back add to the many indicators of Hillary Clinton’s ill health (see links below) which the mainstream media continue to dismiss. Presidential candidates are required by law to release their medical records. It is high time for Hillary to do so.

Forget The Clinton Body Count, Who Is Still On The Clinton Hit List?

August 10, 2016 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

There has been much talk about the "Clinton Body Count," and names seem to be added with increasing frequency, with some saying three more connected with the DNC have been added with the untimely deaths of DNC staffer Seth Rich, Shawn Lucas who served the DNC on July 3 with a complaint and summons in a fraud action on behalf of Sanders supporters, and John Ashe who was begin pretrial meetings involving shady financial dealings regarding a former Clinton crony when he died on June 22, 2015, and others claiming the Body Count actually has risen by five in the last six weeks. Each of these deaths should be investigated, especially with the recent news that WikiLeaks is offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to a conviction for the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich, to which official reports indicate the authorities believe was a random "robbery attempt" although he was shot several times, once in the back, and Rich still had his wallet, watch and phone when police discovered his body, in connection with the very deliberate wording of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, where he implies that Seth Rich was the source of the leak that led to the release of the damaging DNC emails which were published right before the Democratic Convention began. Description of the video below: - Julian Assange seems to suggest on Dutch television program Nieuwsuur that Seth Rich was the source for the Wikileaks-exposed DNC emails and was murdered. So yes, those deaths should be investigated heavily and reported on, but what about those still on the Clinton "hit list?" On August 8, 2016, Jeremiah Johnson a retired Green Beret of the United States Army Special Forces (Airborne), wrote the following on August 8, 2016 at SHTF Plan: Everybody who criticizes the incoming dictator is marked, make no mistake about it. We still have a little bit of time, but not much, and effects generated need to have substance, not form. No juvenile displays of occupying a shed/storage room/visitor center in a National Park or Forest. No standoffs with a disbandment and then everyone is arrested individually. The torch is being passed. Everyone who is criticizing Obama and warning about Clinton is a target and they are marked, along with countless others of the 325 million of us. Is he right? Is there a bullseye on the backs of Hillary Clinton's most vocal critics? We all know that in conjunction with the Clinton Campaign, at least one SuperPAC has more than a million dollars invested in hiring paid trolls to confront and push back against Clinton "attackers," but could this paid "task force" which includes former reporters, bloggers, public affairs specialists, designers, Ready for Hillary alumni, and Hillary super fans, also be investigating and providing physical locations to the Clinton campaign of their most vocal critics? Correct The Record will invest more than $1 million into Barrier Breakers 2016 activities, including the more than tripling of its digital operation to engage in online messaging both for Secretary Clinton and to push back against attackers on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and Instagram. Barrier Breakers 2016 is a project of Correct The Record and the brainchild of David Brock, and the task force will be overseen by President of Correct The Record Brad Woodhouse and Digital Director Benjamin Fischbein. The task force staff’s backgrounds are as diverse as the community they will be engaging with and include former reporters, bloggers, public affairs specialists, designers, Ready for Hillary alumni, and Hillary super fans who have led groups similar to those with which the task force will organize. What about whistleblowers? For example, yesterday ANP published documents that an anonymous Twitter user claimed were Hillary Clinton medical documents, and while the validity of those documents are still in question, the fact that the Twitter user @HillsMedRecords disappeared within the day, account page gone, with no official word as to whether Twitter deleted the account or the user did, is concerning. To be fair to Twitter, despite the obvious liberal bias they have shown over the years, the user very well could have deleted his/her own account. If those documents were real, the user could have been worried about violating the HIPPA law - HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) is United States legislation that provides data privacy and security provisions for safeguarding medical information. Violating HIPPA can carry some hefty penalties, as shown in the chart below, obtained from the American Medical Association. If those documents were real or not, the user still could have deleted his/her own account for fear of their life, after all, many who have "attacked," or "betrayed," Bill and Hillary or been "inconvenient to the Clintons, over the years, have ended up dead. Make no mistake, assassinating Clinton foes is not something Democratic supporters are opposed to, as evidenced by a statement back in 2010, about WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, the same group that recently released the damaging information about Hillary Clinton and the DNC, plus emails showing collusion between the MSM and the Clinton campaign, with Assange promising more in the near future. This was after he had released previous leaked emails damaging to Clinton, where Democratic strategist Bob Berkel, went on Fox News and said "The way to deal with it, and the national security of the United States, the way to deal with this is pretty simpe, we got Special Op Forces, a dead man can't leak stuff, this guy is a traitor, a treasonist, and he has broken every law of the United States........The guy ought to be.... and I'm not for the death penalty, so if I am not for the death penalty, there is only one way to do it... Illegally shoot the son of a b*tch." WATCH: BOTTOM LINE The public found out in 2014 that the Clinton's had a "hit list" comprised of high profile political operatives that had "crossed" the couple throughout the years, which was labeled "saints and sinners," according to reports from The Telegraph and Politico. We have to wonder if they also have another "hit list", those not to be "politically" punished for betrayal, but are literally targeted for assassination. Who would be on that list? Those in the alternative media, less well known but just as vocal and willing to call out questions the MSM refuse to, such as their health, their scandals and their "body count?" What about whistleblowers determined the public know the truth? What about those going head-to-head online with a paid Clinton troll/operative? What about those bypassing the Hillary MSM shills and spreading information via social media? As we prepare for company from Thursday to Saturday, on his way out to the store for last minute items, Stefan Stanford said to me "If I don't come back, Hillary got me"...... I assure you, he was only half kidding.

How the Elite Will Stop the 2016 Election If Trump Is Leading

Dave Hodges

I recently received this email inquiring as to how the criminal elite would stop the 2016 election if Trump were on the verge of winning. Following the email is my answer. Dear Dave Thank you for your articles and your radio show. I appreciate you and pray for you everyday. You have mentioned that you think the Kaine will replace Clinton due to bad health. Do you think the same is true for Pence. If Trump is elected will the is supporter of the free trade agreements replace an assassinated Donald Trump? If not, how do you believe the election will be stopped? Blessings, Richard Richard, I agree with you that the VP candidates are poised to take the helm in the event that either Presidential candidate has something tragic befall them. However, I want to focus on your latter question about stopping the election because the criminal elite are not going to get the result (i.e. a healthy Hillary Clinton as President) that they desire to see. A False Flag Will Followed by An Economic Collapse and Subsequent Food Shortage Will Stop the 2016 Election There is significant evidence that DHS and FEMA have been preparing for this eventuality for a long time. As far back as 2008, I can find evidence that the government was attempting to stockpile as much survival food as possible. These events prompted prominent brokers and key media members to advise the public to begin storing food as long as five years ago in anticipation of what is about ready to happen. In 2011, FEMA issued a “Request for information” (RFI), in which they inquired about the availability for 140 million emergency meal kits with a shelf life of 36 months along with blankets. Please read the following and I defy the reader to not be concerned about long-standing pattern of this government in acquiring vast amounts of food.

Solicitation Number: HSFEHQ-11-R-Meals

What Does a Currency Collapse Look Like? I believe that the precipitating event will be a cyber attack that will shut down the banks. From there, the cascading effect through the 2016 economy would be devastating. It can accurately be stated that a lot has been written and rehearsed by the federal government on the topic of the effects of a currency collapse and its subsequent impact on society. NORTHCOM, DHS and FEMA as well as other federal entities have practiced for this eventuality. In each and every scenario, the facts remain the same, human beings and society follows a very predictable pattern of decline when the currency of the day collapses. When George Soros pulled his money from the S&P 500 and from Bank of America, Citibank and JP Morgan, all Americans should have sat up and taken notice. Generally, when the currency collapses, a stock market crash is right on its heels. Because of the repeal of Glass-Steagall, a banking meltdown will immediately occur following the collapse of the stock market because since Clinton’s presidency, banks are now allowed to loan money for investment in the stock market and for down payments for homes. It was irresponsible of Congress to repeal Glass-Steagall, because it made surviving an economic Armageddon a near impossibility just as it did during the 1929 crash. In a currency collapse, your life savings will be wiped out and this is why on November 16th, the G20 declared that your bank account is not money. This put your account in last place in terms of FDIC compensation, and since the FDIC only has about 1% of the money needed to cover a complete collapse, you will never see a dime from the FDIC. Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy demonstrated that gas stations will be bone dry within two days following a complete collapse. Subsequently, commerce will not move and this includes food. If you are on vacation, you may not make it home. On the second day following a currency collapse, being on the road will be a risky endeavor because of other desperate motorists who will lie in wait to rob other motorists of essential supplies and resources. With no available fuel, the grocery and drug stores will be empty within one to two days. There will be no food to be had except for that which is decaying in your refrigerator and that in which you can beg, borrow and steal from your neighbors who will also be begging, borrowing and stealing. from your other neighbors. If you have an adequate food and water supply, you better have an adequate gun and ammo supply in order to defend your assets. And when will you sleep? The protection of your critical assets is a 24/7 proposition. Therefore, having a cooperative survival plan is critical. EVEN IF YOU ARE AWARE OF WHAT IS COMING, IF YOUR NEIGHBORS ARE STILL ASLEEP, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN! Without gas, people will stop going to work. Corporations will disappear overnight. Hurricane Katrina showed America that the police cannot be expected to stay on the job more than 48-72 hours as they will be home protecting their families and foraging for food and water like everyone else. The emergence of former police, now operating as gangs, will become common in an effort to secure the products which will ensure survival. Therefore, when your home is under attack, there will nobody to call. Everyone will be on their own. The elderly and the chronically ill will be the first to die. Too old to defend their assets, the elderly will find themselves overpowered as they will make easy preys of opportunity for the roving gangs. The chronically ill will have no way to procure their medication and even if they survive the looting rampage which will follow a currency collapse, these poor souls will perish without access to their life-sustaining prescriptions. The money in your wallet will be useless. Cell phones will not work. Heating and air conditioning will not work either and depending on the time of year, the environment could prove deadly to untold numbers of people. Water treatment plants will stop operating for the same reasons that you will not be able to find a cop during this crisis nobody will be manning the water treatment plants. Toilets will back up and diseases will spread like wildfire. Cholera will become the leading cause of death even surpassing homicide. Something as simple as toilet paper will become a prized commodity. There will be no trash pickup and more disease will result due to the increased rodent population. Clean drinking water and hunger will become the dominant motivator in society. Roving bands of looters, turned murderers, will sweep through neighborhoods seeking to obtain these critical elements of survival. Infanticide and euthanasia of the weak will become common events because there will be decided efforts to reduce the amount of mouths to feed. There will be the stark realization of the ensuing sense of hopelessness which will lead to a dramatic spike in murder-suicides within families. Humanity’s Darkest Hour There will come a time when all the available animals will be devoured and then there will be only one place to turn to for food. History shows that cannibalism will set in by the beginning of the third week. Extreme hunger will lead to humans hunting humans as an available food supply. There is a real possibility that this could begin to occur within 15-20 days following the currency collapse. Historical Examples of Cannibalism In a Failed Economy Unfortunately, history is replete with examples of cannibalism within a failed economy. Here are three examples: 1. In the winter of 1609, supplies did not reach the original North American settlement known as Jamestown, which was founded in 1607. During that fateful winter, the colonists experienced a massive famine that became known as “The Starving Time”. Hundreds of colonists experienced a horrible death and only 60 people of the original 500 remained alive into 1610. The scientific evidence gathered from Jamestown indicated that some turned to cannibalism. 2. In June of 1941, Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union and started Operation Barbarossa in which Hitler double-crossed Stalin and suddenly attacked major cities and the subsequent siege to Leningrad lasted for 872 days. The Germans enacted a policy of starvation and attempted to cut off all supplies to the city. forced to live with no utilities, water, energy, or food supplies, and the siege has been called the largest destruction of life to any city in modern history. It has been estimated that around 1.5 million people died as a direct result of the siege. However, of the original 3 to 3.5 million people who lived in Leningrad, only 700,000 survived the war. What is wrong with this math? Where did so many people disappear to? The comparison of the collapse of the dollar is apparent because in Leningrad, the value of money was negligible and criminal gangs were organized to steal food. People tried to eat a wide variety of products, including paste, leather, fur, lipstick, spices, and even medicine, but the famine worsened as the Nazi siege went on. Eventually, the rules of society fell apart and reports of cannibalism spread. During the Nazi siege, the problem with cannibalism was so bad, the police were forced to organize a special unit that was used to combat the predators. Despite living in fear of potential bombardment, families were forced to endure the threat of being stalked as prey and having their flesh eaten. Leningrad was a modern city in the 20th century. 3. The Irish Potato Famine because of a horrific combination of environmental conditions and policies of the British government towards the Irish people, led to massive famines resulting in what some historians label the famine, as genocide. Despite the fact that approximately one million people starved to death and one million emigrated from Ireland during the Great Hunger, the British government failed to help. During the famine, a large majority of people in Ireland became malnourished, infections spread, and people became perilously ill. Professor Cormac O’Grada of the University College Dublin found that cannibalism was practiced as a result of the Irish famine. Extreme hunger caused people to eat family members. As in Leningrad, Irish currency became worthless. The only currency of value what what one could get their hands on to eat. Conclusion These events would stop a 2016 election and prevent Donald Trump from being elected. I have no doubt that many will be repulsed by what they read here and the cognitive dissonance national anthem of “It cannot happen here” will become a popular theme. This theme will temporarily protect us from the reality of what can happen in the midst of a currency collapse, however, cognitive dissonance will not protect us from the lessons of history. Unfortunately, the three famines presented here, are only a smattering of historical examples which all point to the same predictable set of behaviors under the dire conditions described in this article. What is particularly disturbing about the Irish Potato Famine is that the major lesson imparted by history is how food vulnerability can hasten the complete disintegration of civilized society. When the famine hit, the Irish people had no margin for error because of their extreme food vulnerability. The reason that the Irish famine, in particular, is so disturbing is because the Irish food vulnerability parallels what we find, today, in the United States. And this is the topic of the next part in this series on food vulnerability inside of the United States and it is a lot worse than most of us know. Even if 90% of these possibilities never materialize, there are enough bona fide challenges which will serve to threaten the lives of you and your family. Again, are you prepared?

Former US General Has Alarming Warning: 'ISIS Infiltrating The Bloodstream Of Mainstream America' - 'They Are Here In Startling Numbers'

- 'Clinton's Terrorists Are Here - It's Already Too Late'

August 11, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” Sun Tzu, The Art Of War According to Lt General Michael Flynn in a recent interview with The Washington Free Beacon, affiliates of the Islamic State are already living here in America though the exact number of them are unknown due to "the Obama administrations efforts to downplay and hide this information from the public". Before you scream 'conspiracy theory' keep in mind, Lt General Flynn used to be the Director of the United States Defense Intelligence Agency and is now a key advisor of presidential candidate Donald Trump. Flynn tells us that he himself knows of at least 1,000 instances in which members of ISIS have been CAUGHT plotting in the US - if there are that many that he knows about and plots that have been interupted, how many more are there that we have no idea about? As Flynn warned back in July in a story we published on ANP, America is now in grave danger. Flynn also recently told 'Meet The Press' that "we're the best enemies in the world" and "our enemies love when we telegraph everything that we're doing". Why are we arming our enemies with knowledge? Maybe an even better question might be, how can America defeat our enemies when our leaders refuse to acknowledge who they are? As we're told in the 2nd video below that reviews this Free Beacon story, if we were hoping to keep terrorists out of the country, it's already too late...they are here in "startling numbers". As our videographer also tells us, Flynn has warned that the Obama administrations refusal to label all of the radical Islamists that he's allowed into this country as potential terrorists has put us all in danger. Much more below these Flynn's comments including recent comments by Trump himself that Obama founded ISIS and that Hillary Clinton is 'ISIS's MVP'. And she wants to be our president? From the Free Beacon story.: “This is an enemy that actually sees our way of life as something that is not acceptable,” he said. “They’re infiltrating, and their campaign plan is to basically dominate the world essentially through letting Islam bloom.” Leaders in the United States refuse to acknowledge this reality and are actively downplaying the threat, Flynn said. “Is this something that is acceptable to our current leadership? Because this is something the enemy says it’s doing. They have declared war on us.” “They are doing a variety of things. Some are tactical attacks that you’ve seen. Some is just infiltrating into sort of what I call the bloodstream of main street America. That’s just the way they’re going to do it,” he added. America’s difficulties in facing down ISIS are the result of the Obama administration’s failure to clearly define our enemy, Flynn said. “Warfare 101 is know your enemy, know yourself, you’ll win 1,000 battles,” he said. “This president, who is also wearing the hat of commander-in-chief, has shown really a level of incompetence when it comes to clearly understanding and clearly defining the enemy we are facing. This is a political problem. We face political incompetence at this point.” The next U.S. leader, Flynn said, must take steps to clearly define the enemy and the threat it poses to Western values. Was Barack Obama really the 'founder' of ISIS and is Hillary Clinton ISIS' 'most valuable player' as Donald Trump recently stated as heard in the 1st video below? You can hear the entire Trump speech in the final video below in which he completely hands it to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and their arming and enabling of the same ISIS terrorists who are now infiltrating America and stealthly putting every American in possible danger. If Obama and Clinton weren't responsible for the rise of ISIS, why did ABC news recently censor a Donald Trump speech that was being broadcast live on their network as heard in the 3rd video below from Gary Franchi and the Next News Network? Are the major news networks enabling the rise of ISIS and their attempt to overthrow the west, as well, via their total silence and this 100% proof they're censoring Trumps message? Please let us know what you think in the comment section below after watching this blatant censorship from a major news network as heard in the 3rd video below. We've reported time and again on ANP that terrorists were being 'trojan horsed' into America. We now have confirmation of those warnings by someone who used to be the highest intelligence officer for the US military. Experts such as Flynn have warned that ISIS 'sleepers' have infiltrated the bloodstream of mainstream America. They are here we've been warned. As Flynn also tells us, 'direct attacks' aren't the only way that 'radical Islam' is seeking to destroy America and our way of life. In fact, 'silent infiltration' we are warned is possibly even a much more dangerous way, in the long run. If the goal of Islam is to 'conquer the West', they certainly have very willing partners in Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Will America be able to put a stop to their plans for us before they put a stop to us? With the 2016 election now upon us, we see that question will be the most important question that 'free America' faces going forward into 2017. As Steve Quayle recently reminded us, "reality check...there is no reset button".

Gov. Walker activates National Guard after Milwaukee unrest

Decision to deploy lies with Milwaukee police Chief Ed Flynn

UPDATED 8:25 PM CDT Aug 14, 2016

MILWAUKEE —Gov. Scott Walker has activated the National Guard following the unrest overnight in Milwaukee, but it won't be deployed unless requested by Milwaukee police Chief Ed Flynn. "I was worried about whether this would escalate and what more needed to be done, not just last night but in the coming days. And sadly, we've seen it elsewhere around the country, and my sense, in states where governors have waited to too long, is that it's escalates. our hope is that it would de-escalate here," Walker said. The governor also stressed that the Guard members are only here as a backup and only if necessary, which was a sentiment echoed by Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. "The National Guard has been activated, but it will not be mobilized unless Chief Flynn requests it," Barrett said. Earlier in the day, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke said he had requested the mobilization. “We cannot allow for a repeat of what happened last night. I am going to utilize all available resources to accomplish that," Clarke said. Walker said more than two dozen members of the Wisconsin State Patrol were called up to assist with authorities in Milwaukee. Violence erupted Saturday night in the hours after a man who police said was armed with a stolen gun was shot and killed by an officer after a traffic stop.

Clinton campaign enlists undocumented 'Dreamers' for voter registration drive

Published August 15, 2016 FoxNews.com

Hillary Clinton is enlisting undocumented “Dreamers” into a new voter registration drive aimed at signing up sympathetic voters with warnings that Donald Trump’s immigration plans could result in their deportation – though the Dreamers themselves cannot legally vote. Clinton's national voter registration program, called "Mi Sueño, Tu Voto/My Dream, Your Vote," was announced Sunday, on the four-year anniversary of the 2012 order that temporarily shielded from deportation some young immigrants brought to the country illegally as children. The 730,000 young people known as Dreamers are prohibited from voting. However, they remain a powerful political organizing force, and the Clinton campaign hopes to use them to convince Latino and other households to go to the polls for the Democratic nominee. Organizers will remind voters that a Trump presidency would end the Dreamer program, according to the campaign, which is already at risk after a June Supreme Court effectively killed Obama's efforts to give legal status to some of the 11 million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally. The program is part of an aggressive effort by Clinton's campaign to woo the record 27.3 million Latinos eligible to vote in 2016. Polling shows Trump doing worse with Latino voters than any GOP presidential candidate since 1996. Much of the new effort will focus on battleground states including Colorado, Nevada, North Carolina and Florida, where Latinos and other immigrants make up an important part of the voting base. Though Obama's campaign had no formal organization program for Dreamers, door-knocking by those young immigrants, who have lived and attended school in the U.S., helped mobilize many Latino voters who could vote. Clinton believes she can harness their power in a more formal way, particularly given her opponent. Trump's immigration rhetoric has sparked outrage and fear within the Latino community, though the Republican nominee says it's critical that the country start rigorously enforcing its immigration laws. He's promised to revoke Obama's executive orders within the first 100 days of his presidency, calling them the "most unconstitutional actions ever undertaken by a president." Clinton has made revamping the country's immigration system a key plank of her presidential campaign. She has said she will introduce legislation during her first 100 days in office, vowed to restore and expand Obama's programs, close private sector detention centers and to "take a very hard look at the deportation policies" now in force. Last month, she called on Latino voters to help stop what she called GOP rival Donald Trump's efforts to "fan the flames of racial division." The following is the full Clinton campaign statement on the latest program, per The Washington Examiner: On DACA's Four- Year Anniversary, Hillary for America Launches National Voter Registration Program, "Mi Sueno, Tu Voto" On the four- year anniversary tomorrow when the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals' (DACA) enrollment began, Hillary for America is launching a national voter registration program, "Mi Sueno, Tu Voto" (My Dream, Your Vote), to organize DREAMers to mobilize their communities and ask voters to consider what is at stake for their families in November. "DREAMers have played a pivotal role in our campaign, advocating for families who constantly live in fear of deportation — so we've created a program that aims to turn these stories into action," said Lorella Praeli, National Director of the Latino Vote. The program calls on DREAMers across the country to join the campaign's grassroots efforts to secure commitments from their community to vote for their future in November. "We founded this program on the premise that, one by one — through friends, families, co-workers or classmates — DREAMers' futures would be considered on Election day, " stated Praeli." "We may not have the right to vote, but "Mi Sueno, Tu Voto" will help ensure that our stories are heard and it will send a clear signal to Donald Trump that we cannot be silenced," said Astrid Silva, Nevada DREAMer and immigrant rights activist. Hillary for America will be holding events across the country this week, including in Florida, Nevada and North Carolina, to unveil the program. "Mi Sueno, Tu Voto" will also serve to remind voters of Donald Trump's hateful and dangerous agenda, highlighting his pledge to eliminate DACA and deport millions of DREAMers and immigrant families.

More Than 20,000 Rescued, 6 Dead From Catastrophic Louisiana Floods; Federal Emergency Declared

By Michael Edison Hayden Aug 15, 2016, 8:27 AM ET

More than 20,000 Louisiana residents have been rescued from their homes, and 12,000 are in shelters in the wake of historic, devastating flash flooding that led President Barack Obama on Sunday evening to declare a federal emergency in the state, authorities said. At least six people have died in the disaster. Gov. John Bel Edwards said that 40,000 businesses and homes are without power and that rescue workers are still "bringing people out of homes to safety," particularly in the hardest-hit areas around Baton Rouge. More than 500 pets have also been rescued, according to authorities. Curfews for several areas in the state were issued again overnight Sunday as emergency crews try to get a grasp on the situation, said ABC News meteorologist Dan Manzo. More than 30 inches of rain fell in southern Louisiana over the past week, causing waterways to surge, Manzo said. The biggest amount was in Watson, which was deluged with 31.4 inches of rain, according to the National Weather Service. The state has had "historic levels of rivers rising," Edwards told ABC News' "Good Morning America," adding that he is "worried like everyone else" and "trying to let the nation know." He and Obama spoke Sunday evening, with the president granting the governor's request for a federal emergency declaration, White House deputy press secretary Jen Friedman said in a statement. "His prayers are with the people of Louisiana and that his administration will continue to support the state's ongoing recovery." The worst of the rain is now over, but rivers continue to rise. Water levels in some rivers aren't expected to recede for two days. Any additional rain in the next couple of days could trigger more flash flooding. In shelters over the weekend, some flood victims were sleeping on the floor because of a shortage of beds, according to officials. The shelters were not immune to flooding, however, and some had to be evacuated because of rising waters, authorities said. Some government offices and schools will be closed today because area roads remain impassable. About 200 streets were closed Sunday because of the high water, and 1,400 bridges need to be inspected before they are reopened to traffic, officials said. Louisiana has long been extremely vulnerable to flooding because of rising sea levels and the state's low-lying land. The catastrophe over the past few days showed the damage and loss that that can result. An elderly man drowned Saturday after slipping and falling in high waters amid heavy rain in East Baton Rouge Parish. In St. Helena Parish, a man died when his pickup truck was swept off a flooded highway and submerged, Edwards said at a news conference. The body of a drowned woman was recovered from the Tickfaw River in southeastern Louisiana, according to Michael Martin, the chief of operations for the St. Helena Sheriff's Office. "I'm still asking people to be patient. Don't get out and sightsee," Edwards said Sunday. "Even when the weather is better, it's not safe."

Newly discovered documents refute Palestinian lies about Temple Mount

Brief penned in 1924 by Supreme Muslim Council, official Jordanian tourist map from 1956 refute Palestinian propaganda seeking to debunk inextricable Jewish link to the Temple Mount • Both documents recognize only familiar Al-Aqsa mosque as Muslim site. New historical documents revealed over the weekend further refute the Palestinians' attempts to rewrite history, especially pertaining to the Jewish claim to the Temple Mount. The Palestinian Authority's propaganda over the past few years has spared no effort to debunk the inextricable Jewish link to the holy Jerusalem site, relentlessly underscoring only the Muslim link to Al-Aqsa mosque. Recently, the Palestinians have begun claiming their right to the site stretches beyond the Al-Aqsa compound to include the entire site -- even the Western Wall. Nevertheless, two historical documents -- "A brief Guide to Al-Haram Al-Sharif," issued in 1924 by Jerusalem Grand Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini's Supreme Muslim Council, and an official Jordanian tourist map from 1956 -- clearly identify only the familiar Al-Aqsa mosque compound as a Muslim site. The Supreme Muslim Council's document states that "the site's affiliation with Solomon's Temple is undisputed." The Jordanian map, which is in the possession of map collector Haim Steinberger, clearly indicates that at the time, Jordan recognized only the southern part of the compound, where Al-Aqsa mosque is, as Muslim territory. Both documents contradict recent claims by the Palestinians and the Waqf, the trust that controls and manages the current Islamic edifices on and around Al-Aqsa mosque, that the site is only holy to Muslims.

Sweden: Summer Inferno of Sexual Assaults

by Ingrid Carlqvist August 13, 2016 at 5:00 am

Translations of this item: Swedish Almost all the perpetrators of sexual assaults who attacked in groups and who have been apprehended, are citizens of Afghanistan, Eritrea and Somalia -- three of the four largest immigrant groups in Sweden who fall into the category of "unaccompanied refugee children." A few days later, it turned out that many of the perpetrators who sexually assaulted women at the "Putte i parken" music festival in Karlstad wore the "Don't grope" bracelet. Many people were therefore aghast to learn that the organizers of the Trästocksfestivalen music festival in Skellefteå had decided to arrange free bus rides to the festival for the local "unaccompanied refugee children." They claimed they were "proud to be the first music festival in Sweden that encourages a significant increase of newly arrived migrants in the audience." By the time the Trästocksfestivalen ended, the police counted twelve reported sexual assaults. Apparently, Swedish girls and women should learn to live with being groped and raped -- or leave the public space altogether. The latter seems quite in line with what Islamic sharia law prescribes. In the wake of the New Year's Eve attacks in Cologne, Germany, news broke in Sweden that a large number of sexual assaults against girls and women had occurred at the music festival "We Are Sthlm" [short for Stockholm] in both 2014 and 2015, but had been covered up by both the police and the media. The National Police Commissioner, Dan Eliasson, immediately launched an investigation to find out the scope of the problem. The results were presented in May, in a report, "The current situation regarding sexual assault and proposals for action" -- and the conclusions are frightening. Almost all the perpetrators who attacked in groups and who have been apprehended, are citizens of Afghanistan, Eritrea and Somalia -- three of the four largest immigrant groups in Sweden who fall into the category of "unaccompanied refugee children." The Police's Department of National Operations (NOA) began their report by going through all the sexual assaults at music festivals, street carnivals or New Year's Eve celebrations that have been reported to the police: "The complaints filed in 2015 and 2016 showed that girls aged 14-15 were the most vulnerable. The attacks have been perceived differently, depending on the [offender's] modus operandi, but information given in the complaints clearly shows that several of the girls attacked have understandably been devastated and very 'shaky after the incident took place.' Especially shocking and frightening were those attacks carried out by a group, where the victim was not just held down and 'groped', but where the attackers also tried to rip the girl's clothes off. "Most of the attacks were carried out by single perpetrators. In most cases, the attack was carried out in crowded places, from behind, and the perpetrator put his hands under the victim's trousers or under her blouse/sweatshirt and tried to kiss her and hold her down. Due to the struggle to get loose or because the attack happened from behind, it has often been difficult to get a good enough physical description of the suspect to get a positive identification later. In many cases, the victims were standing in an audience in front of a stage, making their way to their friends through a crowd, or standing around with one or more friends when they were attacked." At least ten cases pertain to so-called taharrush gamea [Arabic for "collective harassment"] -- where men in groups choose a victim and attack her together. The report quotes Senni Jyrkiäinen, a scholar at the University of Helsinki, who studies gender relations in Egypt: "Taharrush is Arabic for harassment. If you add 'el-ginsy' (or just ginsy) that means sexual harassment and the word 'gamea' means 'group'." The police report describes the phenomenon like this: "In at least ten cases, a lone girl, sometimes around 14-16 years old, sometimes 25-30, was surrounded by several men (from 5-6 up to a large number). In these cases, some of the men held the girl down, while others groped her breasts and body, and in one case some of the men photographed the attack. In some cases, the perpetrators unbuttoned the girl's pants and tried -- in some cases succeeded -- to pull them down before help arrived. There were also cases where several girls who were part of a group were attacked at the same time by a large gang. "A few suspects have been identified. Those identified are citizens of Afghanistan, Eritrea and Somalia. All investigations into cases in Stockholm and Kalmar from 2014 and 2015 were dropped due to lack of evidence or problems with identifying suspects." The police quote from several of the complaints filed: A 16-year-old girl was attacked by a large number of males described as "foreign and speaking bad Swedish", who tried to rip her clothes off. Some of the attackers photographed the incident. The girl was on her way home from a party together with her boyfriend when she was attacked. The boyfriend witnessed the incident. Two girls were attacked by a gang of 10-20 men of "African descent", aged 15-20. An attack against a girl in a park went from sexual harassment to a full-fledged rape, committed by a group of men. The men and the girl had attended the same party, and the perpetrators followed her when she left. A 12-year-old girl was attacked, and the following description of the attackers was given: "Four men aged 20-25, who looked Arabic and spoke a foreign language, possibly Arabic, between themselves." A young man passing by intervened and was beaten up. A girl stated that she went into the bushes to urinate, and was sexually attacked by 12 perpetrators. The suspects also stole the victim's wallet. "The sexual assault consisted of an unknown assailant grabbing the victim's buttocks, among other things." A 17-year-old girl left a mall, and was stalked and stopped by three "African guys" who attacked her by squeezing her buttocks so hard her pants ripped. A 13-year-old girl who is in a special education class was approached by "4-5 foreign guys" who spoke Swedish with an accent. The grabbed her one at a time "in places she did not like, such as her buttocks and her breasts." When a girl was waiting for a train, she was surrounded by six youths aged about 15-17, of "foreign descent." They poked her and spoke obscenely and threatened her in Swedish. When the train came, they discontinued the attack. A girl encountered a group of about 10 men aged around 18-20. Four of the men grabbed her sweater and held her by the arm, while three others touched her body and breasts. She screamed for help and tried to resist them, begging them to stop, to no avail. She finally managed to break free. A girl was harassed with foul language on a train, by a group of nine men, around 25 years old, who tried to block her way when she got off the train. None of the men spoke Swedish, the victim said in her complaint, "They may have been from Afghanistan." A girl was surrounded on a train by eight men who had gotten on at the same time. Two of the men started touching her thighs and groping her private parts. She finally took out a can of pepper spray, and the attackers moved away. All the attackers were over 25 years old and of foreign descent. When it comes to sexual assaults at public swimming pools, the report states that there were 123 reports of such incidents in 2015. 86% of the suspects were younger than 20 years old; most were around 15-16: "In 80% of the reported cases from public pools, the perpetrators claimed to be or were found to be of foreign descent. Most had no Swedish social security number and the complaints stated that they belonged to groups of boys seeking asylum." The clear and frightening facts stated by the police report, however, have not left even the tiniest impression on Swedish public debate. Feminists still talk about "men" committing sexual assaults. In January, for example, Karen Austin, former head of a government work group on young men and violence, wrote an article on Swedish public television's debate website on why culture and religion have (almost) no significance when it comes to sexual assaults. "Do Swedish men have a better set of chromosomes than the rest of the world's men?", she asked rhetorically. Barbro Sörman, chairperson for the Left Party in Stockholm, wrote on Twitter in early July that it is actually worse when Swedish men rape than when foreign men do: "The Swedish men who rape do it despite having grown up with gender equality. They make an active choice. That is worse IMO [in my opinion]." Sörman later regretted her tweet, but maintained that Swedish men must be scrutinized equally: "You need to look at what makes you choose not to be equal and commit abuse in our society, despite us being equal." After National Police Commissioner Dan Eliasson read the report he had ordered, , on June 28 he came up with a "solution" that made Swedes gasp: a bracelet with the words "Don't grope" printed on it. Eliasson explained the initiative, saying: "The police take sexual assaults very seriously, especially when young people are involved. This crime is of course extremely offensive, and all of society needs to work against it. [With the bracelets] we can turn a spotlight on this issue and encourage those affected to report the crime." A few days later, it turned out that many of the perpetrators who sexually assaulted women at the "Putte i parken" music festival in Karlstad wore the "Don't grope" bracelet. It was the same story at the Bråvalla festival. Lisen Andréasson Florman, operations manager for the non-profit organization, Night Shift (Nattskiftet), had 50 volunteers patrolling the grounds of the Bråvalla festival every night. Despite this, Florman herself was attacked. She told the Swedish news agency, TT, that she was surrounded by three men who acted "totally disgusting." "And these three men had those 'don't grope' bracelets on. It was completely surreal." And so it goes. The sexual assaults at this summer's music festivals have come one after another. Many people were therefore aghast to learn that the organizers of the Trästocksfestivalen music festival in Skellefteå had decided to arrange free bus rides to the festival for the local "unaccompanied refugee children." However, festival chief Nils Andrén could not understand the criticism against the free buses at all, and stated that the festival's motto is "accessibility", and that it might seem expensive to new arrivals to pay for a bus ride to the festival themselves. Apart from offering free bus rides, the organizers also printed up posters advertising the festival in Persian, Arabic and Tigrinya. They claimed they were "proud to be the first music festival in Sweden that encourages a significant increase of newly arrived migrants in the audience." By the time the Trästocksfestivalen ended, the police counted twelve reported sexual assaults. The police concluded the report by suggesting various measures to prevent and investigate sexual assaults involving young people at public gatherings. The suggestions are painted in broad strokes: Preventive work through situational crime prevention. Build a strong foundation for cooperation between municipalities/organizers. Implement a recurring model for cooperation regarding the delegation of actions and responsibility. Direct measures according to cause-analysis. Establishing "joint contact centers" during public events. Make a correct analysis of the situation in time. Take the first steps towards bringing responsible parties to justice by having investigators on the scene. Legal investigation to establish if new criminal modes of operation constitute aggravating circumstances. Nowhere in the report do the investigators suggest that politicians should take steps to ensure that Sweden accepts fewer asylum seekers from the countries where taharrush gamea is commonplace. Apparently, Swedish girls and women should learn to live with being groped and raped -- or leave the public space altogether. The latter seems quite in line with what Islamic sharia law prescribes.

Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom, the

Netherlands, at the Four Seasons, New York, introducing an Alliance of

Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem.

The Lights are Going Out All Over Europe

Dear Friends, Thank you very much for inviting me. I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States is the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe. First I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe. Then, I will say a few things about Islam. To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem. The Europe you know is changing. You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of the cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration. All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as well. It's the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead - with mosques on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe. These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe, street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city. There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe With larger congregations than there are in churches. And in every European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region. Clearly, the signal is: we rule. Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam, Marseilles and Malmo in Sweden. In many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammad is the most popular name among boys in many cities. In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult to Muslims. Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely hear 'whore, whore'. Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of origin. In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin. The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity. In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves. Last week a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels, because he was drinking during the Ramadan. Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya, Israel. I could go on forever with stories like this: Stories about Islamization. A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live in Europe. San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now. Bernhardt Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century. Now these are just numbers. And the numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France. One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks. The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate. Muslims demand what they call 'respect'. And this is how we give them respect. We have Muslim official state holidays. The Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. We have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey. Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random violence, for example against ambulance workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots. Paris has seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieus. I call the perpetrators settler's, because that is what they are. They do not come to integrate into our societies; they come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam. Therefore, they are settlers. Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighborhoods, their cities, their countries. Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored. The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like Gandhi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages - at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammad himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. If it is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad. Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means 'submission'. Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is Sharia. If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies. Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam 'the most retrograde force in the world', and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran. The public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor. I have lived in this country and visited it dozens of times. I support Israel. First, because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz. Second because it is a democracy. And third because Israel is our first line of defense. This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating Islam's territorial advance. Israel is facing the front lines of jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines, Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan, Lebanon, and Aceh in Indonesia. Israel is simply in the way. The same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War. The war against Israel is not a war against Israel. It is a war against the West. It is jihad. Israel is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all of us. If there would have been no Israel, Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest. Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming. Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the grievances of our Muslim minorities. But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to the West. It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept our values. On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam. They would, and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed. The end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning. It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination. If they can get Israel, they can get everything. So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islam as a 'right-wing extremists' or 'racists'. In my country, the Netherlands, 60 percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since World War II. And another 60 percent sees Islam as the biggest threat. Yet there is a greater danger than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing. The lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine. An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America - as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs. With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome, Athens and Jerusalem. Dear friends, Liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their lives. All throughout Europe, American cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we cherish. My generation does not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians. We can only hand over this hard won liberty to Europe's children in the same state in which it was offered to us. We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams. Future generations would never forgive us. We cannot squander our liberties. We simply do not have the right to do so. We have to take the necessary action now to stop this Islamic stupidity from destroying the free world that we know.

UNBIASED, INDEPENDENT POLL: TRUMP 67% CLINTON 19%

By: Devvy August 15, 2016 NewsWithViews.com

Last week the Clinton media, that would be CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC and rags like the LA & NY Times began a coordinated effort to promote a consenus that Donald Trump is toast. Unindicted serial criminal, Hildebeast Clinton, is ahead in all the polls so it's just a matter of time until Trump does down. The Never Trump dogs are still at it. Yeah, they are and no one cares. The media has been all a twitter for weeks trumpeting GOP elites (that would be globalist RINOs) refusing to endorse Trump because they would rather see Clinton in the Oval Office. Dozens of Republicans urge RNC to spend money on congressional races, not Trump: "More than 75 Republicans have signed a letter urging Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus to spend the party's money on helping secure the Republican majority in the Senate, not on Donald Trump's presidential campaign." Let me see if I have this correctly. Put Hildebeast in the White House which will finally finish us off with a Republican controlled house and senate. Isn't that what we have now? A criminal impostor in the White House, a Democrat, with a Republican controlled house and senate we were promised two years ago would go after Barry Soeotro/Obama. Dirty rats Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell will get in bed with Hillary keeping our borders open, give amnesty to tens of millions of liars, cheats, thieves and murderers, that would be illegal aliens and continue importing thousands of Muslims with no proper vetting. Make no mistake: that includes jihadists. Take us into yet more wars, push through the final nail in our coffin (sovereignty as well as jobs) the TPP (Trans Pacific Partnership) and spend us into the final collapse. Then there are 3-4 U.S. Supreme Court seats that will likely come up in the next four years. How many Republicans in the senate voted for agenda driven incompetents like Sotomayor and Kagan? Enough to get both on the bench. Hildebeast Clinton can't even fill a high school gymnasium. THAT is a fact. No one is going to her rallies. Hillary can't fill a room while hundreds are consistently turned away at Trump rallies because of space availability. I want you to go look at these pictures because they tell a story that can't be ignored. These are from all over America:

• Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton Rally Crowds

• Hillary rally vs. Trump rally

DONALD TRUMP Breaks Elton John’s Record at Louisiana Arena – 12,000 at Rally!

• Scroll to the bottom to see for yourself.

• PHOTO ESSAY: Trump vs Hillary Crowd Comparison – Pictures Say a Thousand Words!

Trump Rally Overnight Stake Out in Wilmington Starts 12 Hours Before Event

• You can also see photos of the massive turn outs on Trump's Facebook page

The turn out is the same for Hillary where ever she is appearing. 50 here, 150 there. It's like her supporters are there but no enthusiam. Sort of like going to the doctor for an enema. Or, perhaps they've seen these charts - do go look at them; source is U.S. Dept of Commerce. They show exactly what's going on and a lot of the blame can be put on the current incumbent Republican controlled house and senate who have refused to uphold their oath of office and have been spending trillions for unconstitutional cabinets and programs while giving the fraud in the White House nearly everything he wants for the past eight years. Yet, if one is to believe the in-your-face propaganda by the Clinton controlled media, Trump is lost somewhere on the campaign trail while the majority of voters want their own destruction which translates to a vote for corrupt Hillary. Wait a minute. All those polls you're hearing so much about on FOX and other networks from 'respected organizations' supposedly tell us what American voters want. Out of a sample of 803 voters or 642 voters or, gasp, as high as a poll calling 1,134 voters, all are for Clinton. She's leading! But, what happens when a group of individuals fed up with the media con game conducts their own poll? PG Farnsworth We have just completed our own poll since we cannot get factual information from the mainstream media!! We called 1000 homes in each of the 50 states and asked basic questions on the economy, terrorism, immigration and presidential pick. Economy was the number one factor that Americans are concerned about and terrorism was number two. Presidential pick was Trump by a large percentage. Trump 33478 votes 67% Clinton 9788 Votes 19% Undecided or other 6739 votes 13% 50,000 registered voters from all 50 states vs 803 or 1,134 voters. The poll above was also taken from registered voter lists. 33% Republicans, 33% Democrats and 34% independents. Now, tell me Hildebeast is up 14% anywhere except Hollyweird. This is a useful piece of history: Summer of 1980 Poll Flashback: Carter 39%, Reagan 32%, Anderson 21% RUSH: "I want to remind you of some history. In June of 1980, basically the same period in the campaign where we are now, minus a month or so, in June of 1980 Jimmy Carter led Ronaldus Magnus 39 to 32. John Anderson, third-party candidate, independent candidate at 21%. Even into August and early September, Jimmy Carter was leading Ronaldus Magnus in the polls. Now, what I'm leading up to is that Reagan won that election in a landslide. Jimmy Carter conceded on election night before the polls in California had closed, 1980. The preelection polls into September did not indicate anything of the sort. In fact, there was not one poll that showed the landslide that happened. "Now, a quick question. The Carter presidency was a disaster in June of 1980. It was a disaster in June of 1979. The Carter presidency was a disaster in June of 1978. The Carter presidency was a disaster for three of the four years. In truth, the Carter presidency was a disaster from the moment Jimmy was sworn in. It was an utter disaster and everybody knew it. The misery index was created in order to give life to the devastation. Unemployment was sky-high. Interest rates -- I confuse interest rates with the inflation rate. But they were both in the teens. Or maybe it was unemployment was in the teens and the inflation was high, whatever. It was disastrous. Interest rates. People couldn't buy homes. It was an utter disaster." Trump isn't just fighting Hildebeast, he's fighting a media that long ago disgraced themselves (CNN Admits "We Couldn't Help [Hillary] Any More Than We Have"), mega corporations who want cheap foreign labor to replace American workers (Apple has, however, approved dozens of games poking fun at Donald Trump—including a game called “Dump Trump,” which depicts the GOP nominee as a giant turd) AND Republicans with their over-inflated fat egoes who continue their efforts to sabotage Trump by refusing to endorse him and publicly state they will either not vote for him or they will vote for serial criminal, Hillary Clinton.

98% of Catholic Relief Services’ contributions go to pro-abort politicians

Posted on August 15, 2016 by Dr. Eowyn | 23 Comments

The Catholic Church’s position on abortion has always been and remains one of abortion being an “intrinsic evil,” which means no amount or variety of excuse or rationalization can justify the killing of a wholly, 100% innocent human life in the womb. And yet a study by the Lepanto Institute found that a shocking 98%, i.e., nearly all of the political donations by employees of the Catholic Relief Services go to pro-abortion political candidates. Note: Catholic Relief Services (CRS) is an international charity organization founded in 1943 by the United States Council of Catholic Bishops. It is said to provide assistance to 130 million people in more than 90 countries and territories across the world. The Lepanto Institute for the Restoration of All Things in Christ is a research and education organization dedicated to the defense of the Catholic Church against assaults from without as well as from within. First, let’s look at Lepanto Institute‘s methodology. As explained by Michael Hichborn for the Lepanto Institute, August 8, 2016, contributions that Americans give to political campaigns are recorded and made available as public information in order to ensure transparency in the political process. Donors are asked to provide information on their employer or what line of work they are in. Anyone can search the donor database by location, job type, sex, or religion. In fact, political parties and research organizations mine this data to look for demographic trends by location, job type, sex, or religion. The Lepanto Institute (LI) did just that. It conducted a general search on www.opensecrets.org for the search term “Catholic” listed under employer/occupation and found 6,293 records for listings such as “Catholic priest,” “Catholic Health,” “Catholic High School,” and even “Catholic Relief Services.” LI then narrowed the search to employees of Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and found the contribution records of 52 CRS employees, who made a total of 191 political contributions. 50 of the 52 (i.e., 96.16%) CRS employees had donated to openly pro-abortion politicians, accounting for 187 or 98% of the total 191 contributions. Hichborn points out the obvious, which is that “Statistically, this indicates an overwhelming one-sidedness, with almost no diversity of opinion among those working for CRS.” He concludes: “What this data reveals is that the culture of Catholic Relief Services is not one that is friendly to pre-born babies or the Catholic faith it claims to serve. In fact, as we see that employees of CRS are donating almost exclusively to candidates diametrically opposed to the Catholic Church, we can easily conclude that it’s because their faith isn’t Catholicism — it’s the Democratic Party. And given this, it becomes a little clearer why CRS would annually facilitate tens of millions of dollars to organizations that commit abortion, perform sterilizations, and distribute contraception. It also explains the bevy of other problems found at CRS, such as its publication of manuals and programs promoting condom use, the implementation of contraception-promoting programs like Healthy Choices 2 and Shuga. This is why I’d long stopped donating to Catholic Relief Services because every penny I give also goes to the salaries of its evil employees. And if you’re Catholic, I urge you to stop donating to CRS, but tell your pastor and bishop why. Just print out this post, put it in an envelope, and drop it in the donation basket. And the U.S. Catholic Church wonders why Mass attendance is down, there is a priest shortage, and dioceses are closing down empty parishes . . . .

Sister of man shot by Milwaukee police calls for agitators to ‘burn down’ suburbs

August 15, 2016 By Olaf Ekberg

Some of the Milwaukee race agitators are realizing it may be counterproductive to burn down their own neighborhoods. That’s why the sister of the armed man killed by police on Saturday is telling them to take out their rage on the suburbs. During a press conference Sunday night — before more clashes with police — Sylville Smith’s sister Sherelle challenged the agitators not to burn down their own community — but instead, someone else’s. “Burning down sh*t ain’t gonna help nothin’,” Sherelle said. “You’re burnin’ down sh*t we need in our community. “Take that sh*t to the suburbs. Burn that sh*t down! We need our sh*t! We need our weave! I don’t wear it, but we need it!” “We keep focusing on the police and I’ve said publicly before,” Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke said on Sunday. “Stop trying to the police, fix the ghetto.”

The Clinton Campaign Is In Real Trouble

Dave Hodges

The Clinton campaign is falling apart. Last night my wife was watching a local station and they were doing a political analysis show with so-called experts. My wife told me she had paused the show so I could watch and I muttered something about the fact that I would rather do the laundry, mow the law and wash all of our clothes, but I gave in at her insistence. I was dumbstruck by what I saw. A TV station straight out of the MSM boldly stating that at the present time, Clinton does not engender the trust needed to get elected. In fact, they said that barring a dramatic turn-around, Clinton cannot win, regardless of what the polls are saying. In fact, one analyst said that the CNN poll showing Clinton was holding a seven point lead was fiction. They pointed to the fact that the most recent LA Times poll showed that the race was a dead heat. The analysts said she has the email problem, the Benghazi problem and now allegations have surfaced about the Clinton Foundation’s “pay for play” regarding arms deals with terrorist-supporting states. The analysts took their shots at Trump, and they did not go far enough into the criminality of Clinton, but needless to say I was in shock due to the fact that so much truth was revealed in an MSM presentation. The Clinton campaign is falling apart and here are some hard and fast markers in support of this statement. Finally, a Statistically Valid Election Poll In previous articles, I have been highly critical regarding the methodology employed by the MSM in determinging that Clinton held a 10 point lead. The randomization, or lack thereof, is a key component on why the MSM polls are not to be believed. If you interview a sample with 80% of the participatnts being Democrats, you are going to get a 10% Clinton lead. If you interview mostly unemployed people, the same results will occur. But in terms of predicting HONEST election results, these polls are not worth the paper they are written on. Further, the small sample sizes for many of these polls is too small to form a generalized conclusion about America as a whole. One poll was conducted which did randomly select an equal number of voters in each part with an equal number of independent voters. The results are stunning and this poll maintained the statistical rigor to form generalizing conclusions about the true nature of the political feelings in this country. Max Von Solow- PG Farnsworth “We have just completed our own poll since we cannot get factual information from the mainstream media!! we called 1000 homes in each of the 50 states and asked basic questions on the economy, terrorism, immigration and presidential pick. Economy was the number one factor that Americans are concerned about and terrorism was number two. Presidential pic was Trump by a large percentage Trump 33478 votes 67% Clinton 9788 Votes 19% Undecided or other 6739 votes 13% My friends and I are all Graduate students from all walks of life we meet to discuss stuff 13 people who like and have served the military. It took us most of two weeks to be sure our calls were to all people and not just one party or an other we called Americans.. our poll is by taking registered voter lists and we accumulated 33% repub, 33% dems and 34% ind.. our poll consisted of 1000 calls per state. all 50 states. 50,000 people are in this poll not the 100 like other polls.” Can massive voter fraud overcome a 46 point lead? Maybe, but that is a lot of serious cheating that cannot be subtly covered up. Here is a video summary of what these results mean to the overall election and future of this Presidential race. More Legal Trouble for Clinton We conclusively know that FBI Director, James Comey, is corrupted and compromised, but apparently, many of his field agents have not gotten the word that Clinton’s criminality is out of bounds for the FBI to investigate. From the MSM outlet, MSN, they just released the following damaging report regarding Hillary Clinton. “Multiple FBI investigations are underway involving potential corruption charges against the Clinton Foundation, according to a former senior law enforcement official. The investigation centers on New York City, where the Clinton Foundation has its main offices, according to the former official who has direct knowledge of the activities. Prosecutorial support will come from various U.S. Attorneys Offices — a major departure from other centralized FBI investigations. The New York-based probe is being led by Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. Bharara’s prosecutorial aggressiveness has resulted in a large number of convictions of banks, hedge funds and Wall Street insiders.” Even if the results of this investigation are covered up by Comey and Loretta Lynch, can Clinton survive another round of criminal investigations? I am not sure. Another Round of Wikileaks Revelations “Wikileaks has released emails, showing intimate Clinton ties with Fethulleh Gülen, that go back to 1997, during the early stages of Operation Gladio B, when Gülen was brought to the United States, to serve the purposes of the CIA’s and Clinton Administration’s strategy for Central Asia, the Caucasus and the Middle East. Gülen and his major role in the CIA’s and NATO’s Operation Gladio B. According to Sibel Edmonds, the objectives of Gladio B are: “Projecting US power in the former Soviet sphere of influence to access previously untapped strategic energy and mineral reserves for US and European companies; pushing back Russian and Chinese power; and expanding the scope of lucrative criminal activities, particularly illegal arms and drugs trafficking.” More Revelations Suggesting That Clinton’s Campaign Is Unraveling Real True News (RTN) allegedly conducted an interview with a DNC insider who demanded anonymity. RTN published an interview on August 7, between RTN‘s Max Insider and an unnamed source within the Democratic National Committee (DNC). The source says Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign is imploding because every weapon they’ve deployed against Donald Trump has failed, and Hillary may soon drop out of the race. Here’s what the RTN’s DNC source stated: “Trump is polling far better than what the MSM say “Not only is Trump’s polling far better than the media narrative shows but the even more predictive Social Media scene has collapsed to ‘landslide’ proportions in favor of Donald Trump.” Trump’s campaign is more adept at using social media than Hillary’s “Hillary inherited Obama’s ‘Victory Lab’ and analytics–but that was all geared to 2012 which was still pretty primitive by today’s standards–and to Mitt Romney who might as well have been a caveman by today’s standards. Things . . . changed. [quietly] Hillary didn’t…. Trump is what changed.” None of the Democratic Party’s tried-and-true attack methods works against Trump “None of the old strategies work on him [Trump]…. We called our opponents racist. It worked–like, 93-98 times out of a hundred–people would back down. Run. Back then there was zero counter-narrative. McCain played it soft-ball. Romney was pretty clean but he wasn’t ready to get nasty and take the heat. All their surrogates? Allies? Only Sarah Palin had the woman-card. That was it. We crushed them. Their online-portion of the vote? It was smaller than today–but they were demoralized. Shut down…. None of our focus groups were Trump voters. We just didn’t bring any of them in at the start. We tried racist. We tried misogynist. We tried anti-Islam. It worked on our focus people. On Trump voters? No effect–reverse even…. It made them stronger–more committed. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s like Trump didn’t collapse when we tired it on him and suddenly it didn’t work any more…. Right now tests have shown that attack-ads almost never have any lasting impact. Events like conventions? Like debates? They determine who answers the phone–not who changed their vote. The social media front might be the biggest deal going…. We have our response team go hard–racist. Sexist. Social Justice up the ass. It just pisses everyone off. It changes nobody’s mind.” Hillary campaign has fake followers and the media’s collusion “We bought fake followers. That used to be what everyone did. Trump? His guys are all real. We’ve got media-established narratives. Our coms-team works with the major outlets to shape the stories. That’s traditional. He doesn’t even have a Coms [Communications] Team–he just fires off tweets and they all go viral. Every last damn one…. We’ve paid like–like 300k for Politico. They [Trump campaign] paid nothing and they’ve got Breitbart. You know who Trump voters trust? Brietbart. Look at the numbers.” Conclusion The pattern is so clear that blind man could see that Clinton’s campaign is imploding. Few trust her and for good reason. And then there is the Clinton health issue. Further, Wikileaks has promised email links which will tie Clinton to known Saudi Arabian terrorists connected with 9/11. I look for a dramatic shift in tactics by the DNC and the elite that the DNC takes their marching orders from. They cannot allow Clinton, in her depleted condition to ever get into a debate with Donald Trump in the present political atmosphere. The odds are increasing that there will not be an election in November, the wheels are coming off of this New World Order bus. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND DON’T FORGET TO “LIKE” US

'Whatever Is Coming Is Very Close' - Open Season Has Been Declared Upon National Sovereignty - 'This Is A BETA Test For The Rest Of The World'

August 15, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

The story over at the Western Rifle Shooters Association that Steve Quayle linked to on Sunday spelled out to us in great detail how societies move from open, free societies to closed societies. Called "Bezmenov Subversion Charts" based on information provided by Russian defector Yuri Bezmenov, we can clearly see in the headlines of today's news stories Bezmenov's warnings to America and the free world coming true before our very eyes. Warning that subversion happens before destruction and complete takeover, you can see these charts in full below videos at the bottom of the story as well as an embedded version of Bezmenov's entire book outlining how free nations fall called: "Love Letter To America". We also take a look below at a new SQAlert in which we're warned that 'whatever is coming is very close'. In the 1st video below from Alex Jones and Infowars we're given proof with us that the United Nations has admitted the 'migrant crisis' we're now witnessing in Europe was specifically planned out to overthrow the West. As we're told, the West must fall before world government can be established and "we're watching a 'BETA test' for the rest of the world". Jones warns us that we're now witnessing a 'World War 3' unlike anything else that we've ever seen before with central banks, the United Nations, and the military-industrial-complex combining forces with radical Islam to finally bring down Europe: "We are witnessing World War 3. It doesn't look like past wars. It's a stealth war. Conducted by traitors from within" Jones tells us, adding "open season has been declared upon national sovereignty". Are we now witnessing the fall of the West, with America not far behind what's happening now in Europe? As Jones explains to us in the 1st video that has been watched by well over 110,000 people in just one+ day, most people are unable to see this 'stealthy' World War 3 that is taking place before our very eyes - making the opponent of freedom and liberty that much more dangerous to all Americans and freedom-loving human beings around the world. As Jones tells us, Islam has been attempting to invade Europe now for more than a thousand years. It's now becoming more and more clear that political correctness and outright stupidity are finally allowing the overthrow to play out in 2016. Bezmenov's stages towards a closed society are playing out in not only Europe but America as this story is being written, we see we're moving beyond the stages of social unrest and instability and radicalism that we're clearly now witnessing in America, with Milwaukee the latest example, towards a new power struggle, with only 'replacement' of the current system ahead. What will this all lead to? Civil war? Revolution? Invasion? The end result of Bezmenov's model being a closed society, also known as a boot stamping upon a human face...forever? The new story from US Defense Watch is called "Goodbye Europe: It Was Nice Knowing You" and it tells us Europe is dying before our eyes in a suicide brought on by socialism, globalism, naivete and downright stupidity that has metastasized into a stage 4 cancer. As we learn in the 2nd and 3rd videos below from Gary Franchi of the Next News Network, many people now living in Europe have had their lives completely turned upside down with the 'trojan horse' invasion of their countries. In the 2nd video we hear that Christians in Germany are hiding their Bibles in the midst of terrorist death threats while in the 3rd video we hear that schools in France are training students how to survive terror attacks. With everything else that we're now watching we have to ask, will a forthcoming world government be based upon the principles of sharia? We've reported that Obama and the United Nations have announced a 'global police force' to fight 'extremism' in the US and we've reported that in Obama's America, govt has labeled Christians as 'extremists' along with 70+ other kinds of Americans including Conservatives and 'Preppers'. With forces that want sharia law in America now backing Hillary Clinton, will Hillary usher in world govt to America? The story from Western Journalism last October asked if the DOJ's 'Strong Cities' has put the US under Islamic law and confirmed that a 'global police force' using the Department of Justice is being set up across America. They told us then: What’s the initiative all about? Officially, it’s to prevent and combat “violent extremism in all of its forms” without linking it “with any particular religion, nationality or ethnic group.” The emphasis is on inclusiveness, collaboration, and non-discrimination. Although it doesn’t mention any specific religion, using the language of Obama-speak, its goal of “building social cohesion and resilience to violent extremism” actually means peacekeeping between Muslims and non-Muslims, “mostly by making sure that non-Muslims don’t complain too loudly about, much less work against, rapidly expanding Muslim populations and the Islamization of their communities,” according to Pamela Geller. This is a reasonable interpretation. Instead of “building social cohesion,” the flood of Islamic refugees and immigrants are destroying social unity in Western nations; yet they’re being welcomed by governments despite public outcry. In DHS reports, we’ve also seen the Obama administration target conservatives such as Christians, gun-owners and pro-lifers as dangerous. As we read in the new SQAlert republished below in which we're given a new update on military convoys across America and warned that, whatever is coming to our country is likely very close. As we've warned, the globalists now have less than 100 days to stop a pro-America president from being voted into office. They may be running out of time to bring this country down. Still, this alert tells us that members of the military are 'fearful' about something and keeping 'tight lipped'. UPDATES ON FULL TRUCK STOPS AND MILITARY TRUCKING - Here is what I can tell you from my experience. As for the truck stops, yes, they are ridiculously full, a lot of this is because guys are sitting days, and in some cases a week just to find a load. If you watch you'll see the same guys there for awhile. Then there is also the bottle neck created by some of the new hours of service regs combined with electronic logs and tracking. As for the gov end of it, I have seen a hell of a lot of big convoys of military vehicles, 20 plus in a section, 4 or 5 sections spread out, more frequently now than just a couple years ago, and way more than I remember over the decades I been out here. Secondly, the volume of "government" shipments, (ie dod fema etc) available through "portal" (gov load board) has dropped significantly. I have quit doing military for the most part, for obvious reasons. Things are way worse than most people think economicaly. This only touches the strange things I've been seeing lately Steve. UN trucks in the middle of nowhere, unmarked c130s landing nowhere near airports or bases, new airports pop up in weeks with no aircraft in sight, tent cities. My military friends seem fearful, and have become very tight lipped, I would almost say paranoid. Brother, whatever is coming is very close. While America hasn't quite fallen as far as Europe has, yet, that day may not be too far ahead, a day when the 'floodgates' are fully opened and a long-warned of plan plays out to its completion. Europe is falling. If the globalists want world government, only the American people now stand in their way...and as we see through recent news headlines, an attempt to subvert our nation is being undertaken right now before our eyes. We'll close with an excerpt from the US Defense Watch story "Goodbye Europe: It Was Nice Knowing You": Over two million refugees have stormed into Europe, making a beeline to countries like Germany and Sweden which have given a green light to the invasion of their nations. Germany has taken in a whopping 1.3 million Muslims refugees and will hit over two million by the end of the year. With millions of Muslim refugees arriving into countries with no shared language, culture, religion and values, it was only a matter of time before chaos ensued in Western Europe. That day has arrived.

A new governing aristocracy made public deception acceptable

Posted on August 9, 2016 by The Canary in Blog, Domestic Politics and tagged 2016 election, american politics, aristocracy, big government, Bill Clinton, blog, brexit, clinton, clinton emails, elites, indictment, lewinsky, trump, Wasserman-Schultz, watergate. We live in unprecedented times: With both conventions behind us, roughly three months to the November elections, it is becoming increasingly obvious that the political landscape has radically changed; and not only because both big parties selected highly flawed, even in their own parties relatively unpopular presidential nominees. Disruptions of traditional American politics goes far beyond that point, and the selection of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump as standard bearers of their respective parties, indeed, increasingly looks like only the last step in a decades-long process of declining morality in public policy and politics. It also coincides with a rapidly expanding government, the concomitant growth and ever increasing power of a government-funded administrative “aristocracy,” made up of professional politicians and largely unaccountable government bureaucrats, who no longer listen to the people but believe to have the right to make choices on behalf of the people, while in actuality self-servingly expanding their own interests rather than those of the people. Administrative “aristocracies” existed throughout history, from ancient Egypt, China and Japan to later European nation states, at times, indeed, similarly to current circumstances in the European Union (i.e. BREXIT) and the U.S. (ratification of the agreement with Teheran by the U.N. rather that the U.S. Congress), more loyal to their “aristocratic” cast members across-borders than to their own nations. This is how, for example, a German rather than British aristocratic family ascended to the British throne creating the House of Windsor or, as recently as in 1921, when a Saudi Arabian “aristocratic” family from Mecca was chosen by the British as rulers of Jordan, creating the Hashemite dynasty that has been in power ever since. Though formal aristocracies lost power in many countries, new administrative “aristocracies” almost always followed. Though, for example, end of aristocratic rule was a declared goal of the French Revolution, Napoleon established elite schools for future government administrators (and politicians), not too dissimilar to how Chinese emperors had ruled their vast empire already in early Chinese dynasties, and thus created a new ruling class (i.e., administrative aristocracy). Napoleon’s schooling concept has survived in the so-called Grandes écoles of France over a number of French Republics, with the École national d’administration till today seeding governments and the nations administrative as well as business elites, whether from the left or right of the political spectrum. Post WWII, similar administrative “aristocracies” also developed in most other Western European democracies and, when the European Community was established, found its ultimate expression in the Union’s Brussel Bureaucracy, which can be viewed as the principle cause why the BREXIT vote led to the pending departure of the UK from the EU. Primarily driven by an ever expanding federal government with increasing powers, and by diminished independence of individual states, such a federal administrative “aristocracy” has also been evolving in the U.S. Especially the last 30 years have witnessed exponential growth in the power of this ruling class, at least partially driven by the power of incumbency, offering politicians a high likelihood of reelection, and due to lifetime employment (with practically no legal option of dismissal) for government employees. United by common self-interests of incumbency and ever expanding financial as well as political power, politicians and government bureaucrats now represent our country’s administrative “aristocracy,” not dissimilar to the EU’s administrative “aristocracy” in Brussels. This is why, by income, some of the suburbs of Washington, DC, now are the richest counties in the nation. Convinced of intellectual superiority, these “aristocratic” bureaucracies create self-perpetuating and self-serving government structures from the ground up by determining what is and what is not politically correct language (and, of course, politically correct thinking); by establishing educational curricula for schools and colleges that “educate” the young, following the old Jesuit dictum, “give me a child until age seven, and I’ll give you the man;” by interpreting laws in thousands of rules and regulations, many never intended by congress; in other words, by removing the administration of the country further and further from the direct will of the people. Since ideologies throughout history never were able to co-exist with traditional religious believes, it is not surprising that these “aristocratic” bureaucracies are usually agnostic, and often even overtly hostile to the exercise of free religions. The empty space of religion is filled with “modern religiosity,” best defined as abstract concepts of thought, which share with religions the indisputable conviction of absolute and, therefore, indisputable truth; yet, like religions, they are also characterized by absence of all provability and, at times, are empirical illogical. A good example for such illogical thinking is, for example, the laudable insistence on equality of all religions (i.e., Islam with Christianity and Judaism) while, at the same time restricting the ability of Christians to practice their religion freely. A good example for the results of such illogical thinking is that currently over 50% of U.S. college students allegedly favor socialism over capitalism, even though every student of history would know that in innumerable incarnations socialism has without exception always failed as an economic model, and more often than not, ended up leading to dictatorships and economic misery (see the current Venezuela, the country with the largest oil reserves in the world). This statistical fact is, however, also a good example how radically this new American “aristocracy” has changed America in recent decades. Even President Obama in his first election campaign, only eight years ago, still categorically rejected the label of being a “socialist” for fear of becoming unelectable. Only eight years later, Bernie Sanders, a declared Socialist would, likely, have become the elected Democratic presidential candidate, had the party leadership not undemocratically conspired against his election. Looking back in history, considering the more recent political climate in the country, it is really quite remarkable that when the Watergate Scandal broke in the 1970s in the second Nixon administration, Republicans were on the forefront of those demanding his impeachment. Contrast that to what happened during the second Democratic Clinton administration, when the truth no longer mattered and relativity of values, suddenly, ruled the day. Can anybody imagine that an earlier U.S. president would have politically survived a Lewinsky- like Scandal? And, yet in 1997, only a little over 20 years following Watergate, Bill Clinton not only survived, but became one of the country’s most popular ex-presidents. The political value system of the country in those short years had, obviously, radically changed: Doing the right thing for the country was out; and self-preservation of the ruling “aristocratic” class, based on the relativity of human values, was in. Not one Democratic member of the Senate supported Clinton’s impeachment, and many Republican politicians who had pushed for it, saw their political careers destroyed. After Watergate, the Lewinsky Affair, likely, became the most decisive political event in recent American history because, for the first time, an American president in a televised broadcast literally looked into the eyes of the nation and outright lied, when stating “I have never had sex with this woman.” Many, maybe even most presidents before Clinton, of course, also have on occasion been less than truthful; but nobody, except of course Nixon (“I am not a crook”), has in recent history so blatantly lied to the American people as Bill Clinton and, yet, gotten away with it, in the process changing American politics for ever by demonstrating that the modern multimedia world practically always offers the opportunity to relativize the truth of the message (to quote Bill Clinton, “it depends what the meaning of ‘is’ is.”). The political “aristocracy” learned this lesson very quickly and, of course, nobody better than Hillary Clinton. She would never have dared to follow through with the absolute insane idea of establishing her own Internet server while serving as Secretary of State, had she not been convinced that she could manipulate the truth, should it be discovered. Piercing her words, as her husband had done so well during the Lewinsky Affair, she, indeed, has successfully avoided indictment by the Justice Department, even though a majority of Americans, likely, believe that she escaped because of special considerations by Obama’s Justice Department. Completely exposed in her deception by the FBI investigation, she, remarkably, still continues to lie in her statements to the public. That Hillary Clinton was not indicted also explains why investigations of Fast and Furious and the IRS scandal never went anywhere, why six weeks before national presidential elections the first Obama administration could instruct senior administration officials to claim that the U.S. ambassador’s murder in Benghazi was not caused by terrorists but by a ridiculous irrelevant video produced in Los Angeles. This is also why Hillary Clinton is still a candidate for President of the U.S., even though common sense suggests that she should have been indicted, and why President Obama can with a straight face go on national television, telling the American people that sending 400 million dollars in foreign untraceable currencies on an unmarked plane in the middle of the night to Teheran represents just “routine” government relations between two governments, and had absolutely nothing to do with the concomitant release of four American hostages. It has quite obviously become routine for senior government officials, including America’s current President, without fear of political or legal retributions, to blatantly lie to the American people. This, of course, does not happen by happenstance: it is a reflection of how much our country’s political morality has changed over the last three decades. Within the ruling “aristocracy,” loyalty to the ruling class supersedes right and wrong, and even loyalty to the country is only, at best, second. This is why Ms. Lerner took the Fifth when questioned before Congress about the IRS scandal rather than inform Congress on who instructed her to discriminate against potential political opponents of the Obama administration. She knew that she could count on being protected, and that there would be no serious follow up investigation by the FBI. This is also why only one person was fired in the Veterans Affairs Scandal, the Justice Department decided not to defend a law suit this person filed about her dismissal, and the Obama administration announced that it would no longer implement a law Congress passed that allowed the Veterans Administrator to fire government employees for appropriate cause. And this is also why Hillary Clinton had no hesitation of appointing Ms. Wasserman-Schultz to the position of Honorary Chair of her campaign on the day she was forced to resign as Chair of the Democratic Party after public disclosure how the party under her leadership subverted the primary election process in favor of Ms. Clinton. One hand, of course, washes the other; the administrative “aristocracy” protects its own! The public instinctively feels the growing divide between the ruling administrative “aristocracy” of both major parties and the American people. This is unquestionably a major reason why Congress and both parties have reached a nadir in popularity. The only question remaining is whether the public is upset enough about where the political “aristocracy” has taken the country to revolt, and take the risk in the upcoming election to consider the unknown over the unacceptable. If the answer is yes, then Donald Trump will be the next U.S. president; if the answer is no, then Hillary Clinton will not only be the first female president of the U.S. but, assuming the public’s anger with Washington continues to grow and finally boils over during her administration, she may end up being the first president since Richard Nixon not finishing a full term in the White House.

WORKING WITH A SPOUSE WHO IS NOT LIKE-MINDED

August 15, 2016 By SurvivalistBlog Contributor 52 Comments

by Andrew Skousen – World Affairs Brief

Preparing for hard times is already an uphill battle. It takes time, money, practice and effort to create a self-sufficient lifestyle that will provide food, shelter, and a few modern comforts in hard times, but it is nearly impossible to make those changes in the face of resistance from a spouse, who usually shares your budget. Fortunately, there are still ways to prepare and encourage them in the right direction. Talk about it carefully: In a world that openly demeans “preppers” as a fringe part of society, it can be hard to have an open conversation about the merits of preparing for a major crisis. When you do have an open conversation, be careful not to unleash a pent-up rant over the all the facts the media intentionally misrepresents. With a spouse you have time to move slowly and present information and circumstances carefully. Some people need the facts, others just want a summary of the critical details. Keep the conversation mutual so they don’t feel steamrolled each time the topic comes up. Be very careful about getting caught up in the hype of certain internet talk shows, especially those that continually preach imminent economic collapse. You can’t afford to get yourself discredited. Be cautious when you feel strongly about a topic. The book Crucial Conversations has valuable tips for avoiding the typical pitfalls of emotionally-charged discussions. Like many self-help books it ignores the right and wrong of issues in favor of peaceful compromise, but at least it teaches you to recognize generalizations and name-calling and to stick with the facts. Think about how you want the conversation to be resolved and work toward a reasonable outcome. Many people are resistant to even entertaining controversial topics for fear of taking a position outside the safety of the mainstream. They see the mockery heaped on those taking unpopular positions and don’t want to sit atop that kind of social dunk tank. Although I don’t try to convince anyone around me unless they already sense something is wrong, in the case of a spouse it is important to acclimatize them to the truth. Even just passing comments about current events and some of the inconsistencies (have the facts to back it up if they ask you for specifics) can help slowly adjust their thinking. You can bolster your credibility by laying out the standard version of events (usually summarized nicely by Wikipedia) and then pointing out all the areas where they have glossed over critical aspects or ignored detailed testimony and facts that contradict the official story. It may help to read out loud to your spouse small sections of news and analysis that are particularly well written and researched—but only if it hasn’t become a sore topic yet. Consider other avenues: Most likely you will find there is a limit to how far you can bring a resistant spouse to your point of view. Don’t keep pushing or it will seem like nagging. Instead, work on a different side of preparedness. Look for areas where you can work within common ground—gardening, natural healing, raising animals, growing fruit trees, landscaping with berry bushes, etc. Show them the benefits of the things you purchase. Don’t just acquire things that gather dust. Bake from scratch with your wheat grinder, make tasty canned foods and preserves, dehydrate things they like too, save money by buying food in bulk, put tools to use by fixing cars and things around the house, use your weapons to hunt and process the meat into usable cuts, make nice homemade soap, use the wood burning fireplace, improve your camping gear, etc. This will force you to be practical about what you buy and get you using it—which are the best ways to prepare and check your equipment. It will also help build their trust and justify future expenditures. Few spouses object to a hobby as long as it is productive and not untidy or offensive. Alleviate sore points. Some aspects of preparedness are unavoidably negative and might grate on your spouse. The ham radio antennas and solar panels that are unsightly on the roof, the generator that takes up part of the patio or garage, the animals digging up the flowerbeds or constantly escaping, the dirty wood and ashes around the fireplace, the spare fuel smells, etc. Don’t get rid of your critical preparations over superficial problems, but do look for ways to alleviate the core irritation. There are many ways to hide radio antennas or reduce their height. Solar panels can still work on west or even east-facing roofs (but it requires a few more panels for the same output). Hiding generators, towers, equipment and fuel is actually very important for keeping a low profile in hard times. Generator pads, for instance, should be behind a masonry or concrete wall. Spare fuel keeps best underground. Keep things clean, well-managed and hidden to avoid both unsightliness at home now and in the future with hungry neighbors. Joel Skousen adds: “Despite all the good advice, you may still fail to bring the spouse around if they have innate resistance to facing negative realities. Innateness refers to the set factors that determine a person’s basic personality or internal spirit. These fairly rigid factors manifest themselves from birth, and are almost impossible to change—things like drive or lack of drive, attraction to worldly things or immunity to peer pressure, ability to withstand pain or hardship, shyness or being outgoing, being loving or taciturn, etc. In fact, I will hazard to guess that if any of you have been dealing with a resistant spouse for a number of years, there is some sort of innate personality resistance in them. “For example, most mild mannered and soft people are innately resistant to conflict and argumentation. That means they are usually uncomfortable even discussing hard times or preparations for war. They don’t want to see it, even if real. Some people are very susceptible to peer pressure and what other people think. They will be resistant to believing the scenarios that will bring on ridicule from others. Some soft people, who recognize the truth and agree with you still won’t be enthusiastic about talking about it. It is the same with politics. For some it is just too complex and uncomfortable. “The secret to dealing with innate resistance is 1) recognize where your spouse’s innate set points are, 2) accept that you aren’t going to be able to change innateness very much, 3) try and move them away from their comfort level in small increments, and 4) if they aren’t going to come your way, or they reach their limit of change, accept that and stop pushing. You may just have to reach an agreement where you can proceed on your own.”

During her speech at the United Nations, Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced that the Department of Justice is launching a global police force in order to combat “violent extremism” in the United States.

A proposal such as this, with all of its various implications of an overreach of power, should be front-page news everywhere, but unfortunately, not many noticed. And that’s a concern to constitutional attorney KrisAnne Hall who released a video to make the rallying call. “Something happened yesterday that I’m afraid will go completely unnoticed,” Hall began. “Yesterday, the Department of Justice, several cities within the United States, several municipalities, linked up with the United Nations to form a global police initiative. It is called the Strong Cities Network.” “This is such an attack on our Constitution. This is such an attack on the sovereignty of our states,” she added. “This will eliminate the rights of the people as we know them under a constitutional republic.” Hall warns that this initiative will be the vehicle used to usher in the UN arms treaty and the UN controlling America. She says it will bypass Congress and the treaty process, and will be implemented on the local level “so people will never even notice.” Helping her get this message out is noted fighter against the Islamization of America, Pamela Geller. In her latest piece for Breitbart, she sends out a similar warning: The groundwork is being laid for federal and international interference down to the local level. “The Strong Cities Network,” Lynch declared, “will serve as a vital tool to strengthen capacity-building and improve collaboration” – i.e., local dependence on federal and international authorities. Lynch made the global (that is, United Nations) involvement clear when she added: “As we continue to counter a range of domestic and global terror threats, this innovative platform will enable cities to learn from one another, to develop best practices and to build social cohesion and community resilience here at home and around the world.” Geller notes the oddity that the Strong Cities Network wasn’t announced at an appropriate national venue, such as the White House or FBI headquarters but “ominously” before the UN. It didn’t help that the DoJ press release accompanying the announcement read, “While many cities and local authorities are developing innovative responses to address this challenge, no systematic efforts are in place to share experiences, pool resources and build a community of cities to inspire local action on a global scale.” Geller writes: “This amounts to nothing less than the overriding of American laws, up to and including the United States Constitution, in favor of United Nations laws that would henceforth be implemented in the United States itself – without any consultation of Congress at all.” Making sure her battle cry isn’t misconstrued as yet another conspiracy theory, Geller points to Lynch’s own words from her speech: “As we continue to counter a range of domestic and global terror threats, this innovative platform will enable cities to learn from one another, to develop best practices and to build social cohesion and community resilience here at home and around the world.” And just to be sure, Geller adds additional quotes from the DoJ press release: “[The Strong Cities Network] will strengthen strategic planning and practices to address violent extremism in all its forms by fostering collaboration among cities, municipalities and other sub-national authorities.” Read more of Geller’s piece here, and watch Hall’s in-depth commentary below:

When I was growing up, as I’m sure was the same for you, police were the good guys. The ones to save the day, come to the rescue, or just lend a helping hand to those in need. They were the shield in the darkness standing against the evils of the world, or at least that was what we were brought up to believe; that they’re heroes, with no exception. I have come to realize, as with everything in this world, there is always an exception. POLICE MILITARIZATION While police forces across the country began a process of militarization when President Reagan intensified the “war on drugs,” complete with SWAT teams and flash-bang grenades, the post 9/11 “war on terror” has only added fuel to that fire. Through laws and regulations, like a provision in defense budgets that authorize the Pentagon to transfer surplus military gear to police forces, local law enforcement are using weapons found on the battlefields of South Asia and the Middle East. With the infusion of hand-me-downs straight from never-ending wars in Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq, Americans stand by and watch as their friendly neighborhood peace officers quickly become something straight from the mind of George Orwell. Personal belongings unjustly confiscated for profit, ever-present electronic surveillance, and a constant and steady erosion of rights leading to one unavoidable slowly materializing end game. This country has witnessed an undeniable and seemingly irrevocable transformation of its core values and subsequently its once friendly local police force. Americans have stood witness to their transformation into a fast-moving well-oiled machine of industry and control; no longer here to serve the citizen, but the interests of the state. A group once thoroughly committed to the safety and individual sovereignty of every American within their jurisdiction, has now morphed into the type of police state force that has been seen in third world countries for decades, and would seem a logical precursor for martial law. WHAT MAKES A NATION THIRD WORLD? Despite ever-evolving definitions, the concept of the third world serves to identify countries that suffer from high infant mortality, low economic development, high levels of poverty, low utilization of natural resources, and heavy dependence on industrialized nations, and are generally characterized as poor with unstable governments and having high rates of population growth, illiteracy, and disease. A key factor is the lack of a middle class — with impoverished millions in a vast lower economic class and a very small élite upper class controlling the country’s wealth and resources. Most third world nations also have a very large foreign debt. The above description could very well be describing the United States itself, and not the general traits of a third world nation. It is shocking and unnerving to see that the U.S. falls right in line with the literal definition of a third world country. The conversation in regards to what comes first, the fall of a nation or the police state, is debated, yet currently irrelevant. The sad fact is that the United States is in bad shape, and many continue proclaiming the greatness of this once thriving nation, and touting its unrivaled “freedom” to all who will listen. At one point in history that was the reality of the U.S.; people sought its freedom and set out to emulate it if possible. Others did in fact find their way, and today, some nations enjoy the same freedom and democracy that Americans still pretend to have. Over the years, Americans have fallen victim to the very enemy the founding fathers set amendments to protect them from, yet American eyes were closed as American rights were taken. PERCEPTION DICTATES REALITY The people are standing by and watching first hand as non violent crimes are met with military force and warrants served with war-time vehicles and tactical precision. Profits as opposed to safety become the primary objective as police are given a financial motivation to shift their attention to wars that can never be won; wars fought against ideas not people; wars that are brought to the doorstep of every American. This is the war of the 21st century. It is not being waged on a foreign enemy, despite the barrage of propaganda that can be seen on every channel, but on the minds of Americans. This nation is wrought with turmoil and violence. Circumstances carefully cultivated to divide a nation with surgical precision. A simmering pot of contrasting views flirting with the idea of boiling over. The question arises: Has this country’s police force risen up to stand against a rising danger, or have the people risen up to combat a rising police force, which stands to threaten their very way of life? The perception wholly dictates how the reality is seen.

Why the South China Sea is on the Verge of an Environmental Disaster

Abhijit Singh August 13, 2016

Of all the “strategic” challenges confronting the Asia-Pacific region, none is as underrated as the destruction of the marine ecosystem. The South China Sea’s status as a critical waterway draws attention away from the fact that littoral Southeast Asia is one of the world’s most diverse global marine bio-systems, hosting 76 percent of the world’s coral species and 37 percent of reef-fish species. Over the past two decades there have been documented instances of Chinese fishermen in the Spratly Islands and surrounding waters indulging in large-scale illegal capture of fish using cyanide, dynamite, and detonating cords. The wide range of sea life targeted has included endangered sea turtles, giant clams, giant oysters, sharks, eels, and large pieces of highly ornamental coral. In the wake of a UN tribunal’s quashing of Beijing’s claim to historic rights in the South China Sea, what has been largely overlooked is the court’s censure of Beijing’s rampant destruction of marine life around the sites of its reclamation and other activities in the Spratly Islands. The construction, the judges held, had “caused permanent and irreparable harm to the coral reef ecosystem.” Yet Chinese leaders refuse to accept the tribunal’s criticism. Beijing, in fact, denies its island-building posed any danger to the natural habitat of the region, even calling it a model “green project”. Nor was the damage inadvertent. The tribunal found that Chinese authorities were fully aware of the nature and scope of activities undertaken but failed to prevent them. Despite its obligation under Articles 192 and 194 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea to preserve and protect the marine environment, Beijing supported activities that harmed the fragile ecosystem of the South China Sea. For years, China’s most destructive activity in the South China Sea has been giant clam poaching, which is said to have destroyed more than 40 square miles of some of the most bio-diverse coral reefs in the world. Chinese poachers reportedly use boat propellers to loosen the valuable clams, whose shells are sold as luxury items in China. Not only does digging up a reef destroy its ecosystem, but because of the interconnected nature of South China Sea fisheries, damage in once place causes repercussions elsewhere. Evidence notwithstanding, Beijing claims its activities provide a public good. At the Shangri-La Dialogue earlier this year, Admiral Sun Jianguo, the People’s Liberation Army’s deputy chief of general staff, said that apart from “meeting the necessary defense needs,” China was carrying out construction on some islands and reefs in the South China Sea to better perform its international responsibilities, including environmental protection. If anything, Chinese analysts say the widespread damage to the regional marine bio-system must be blamed on rampant poaching that regional states collectively failed to prevent. Such claims serve to distract attention from the destruction wrought by Chinese island-building and other activities on the marine environment. Under international law, island-building must be preceded by an environmental impact assessment. Beijing’s omissions in this regard are inexcusable. In conceiving their island-building plans, Chinese engineers would have considered the environmental consequences. Surprisingly, China’s position paper submitted to the arbitral tribunal in December 2014 did not mention any studies undertaken to assess environmental damage caused by large-scale reclamation. By refusing to accept responsibility for its actions, Beijing has shifted the onus for remedial action to other littoral states. etc. and the news story continues..

Mystery object lurking past Neptune is baffling astronomers

Aug 12th 2016 4:09PM

Astronomers remain puzzled over a strange object that has been detected past Neptune, according to Science Alert. The object has been dubbed Niku, and it has been observed exhibiting some unusual behavior; while planets in this solar system rotate around the sun along a similar plane, this one is moving upwards above it. In fact, it appears to be orbiting the sun backwards and at a 110-degree angle. Because this trans-Neptunian object, or TNO, spins in an abnormal direction, scientists believe it was likely thrown off course by an as-yet unknown force such as a collision. As such, Matthew Holman, one of the authors of a recently published paper about the discovery, has been quoted by New Scientist as saying, "It suggests that there's more going on in the outer solar system than we're fully aware of." Otherwise, the team has determined that Niku could be as small as 124 miles or less in diameter based on its faint appearance. They also suspect it is part of a cluster of objects with a similar inclined orbit, but they have not been able to identify the origin of the system's central force.

Funny Money Accounting—-Why Social Security Will Be Bankrupt In 10 Years

by David Stockman • August 12, 2016

Social Security—–Trust Fund Confetti And The Coming Insolvency

……Here follows a deconstruction of Rosy Scenario. It underscores why the nation’s entitlement based consumption spending will hit the shoals in the decade ahead. In their most recent report, the so-called “trustees” of the social security system said that the trust fund’s near-term outlook had improved. So the stenographers of the financial press dutifully reported that the day of reckoning when the trust funds run dry has been put off another year—-until 2034. The message was essentially take a breath and kick the can. That’s five Presidential elections away! Except that is not what the report really says. On a cash basis, the OASDI (retirement and disability) funds spent $859 billion during 2014 but took in only $786 billion in tax revenues, thereby generating $73 billion in red ink. By the trustees’ own reckoning, in fact, the OASDI funds will spew a cumulative cash deficit of $1.6 trillion during the 12-years covering 2015-2026. So measured by the only thing that matters—-hard cash income and outgo—-the social security system has already gone bust. What’s more, even under the White House’s rosy scenario budget forecasts, general fund outlays will exceed general revenues (excluding payroll taxes) by $8 trillion over the next twelve years. Needless to say, this means there will be no general fund surplus to pay the OASDI shortfall. Uncle Sam will finance the entire $1.6 trillion cash deficit by adding to the public debt. That is, Washington plans to make social security ends meet by burying unborn taxpayers even deeper in public debt in order to fund unaffordable entitlements for the current generation of retirees. The question thus recurs. How did the “untrustworthies” led by Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, who signed the 2015 report, manage to turn today’s river of red ink into another 20 years of respite for our cowardly beltway politicians? They did it, in a word, by redeeming phony assets; booking phony interest income on those non-existent assets; and projecting implausible GDP growth and phantom payroll tax revenues. And that’s only the half of it! The fact is, the whole rigmarole of trust fund accounting enables these phony assumptions to compound one another, thereby obfuscating the fast approaching bankruptcy of the system. And, as will be demonstrated below, that’s what’s really happening—–even if you give credit to the $2.79 trillion of so-called “assets” which were in the OASDI funds at the end of 2014. Stated differently, the OASDI trust funds could be empty as soon as 2026, thereby triggering a devastating 33% across the board cut in benefits to affluent duffers living on Florida golf courses and destitute widows alike. Needless to say, the army of beneficiaries projected for the middle of the next decade—what will amount to the 8th largest nation on the planet—- would not take that lying down. There would be blood in the streets in Washington and eventually staggering tax increases to fund the shortfall. Such desperate measures, of course, would sink once and for all whatever faint impulse of economic growth and job creation that remained alive in the US economy at the time. In short, the latest untrustworthies report amounts to an accounting and forecasting house of cards that is camouflaging an impending social, political and economic crisis of a magnitude not seen since the Great Depression or even the Civil War. So here follows an unpacking of the phony accounting edifice that obscures the imminent danger. The place to start is with the one data series in the report that is rock solid. Namely, the projected cost of $15.5 trillion over the next 12 years to pay for retirement and disability benefits and the related (minor) administrative costs. This staggering figure is derived from the fact that the number of beneficiaries will grow from 59 million to 79 million over the next twelve years. And each and every one of these citizens has a payroll record that entitles them to an exact monthly benefit as a matter of law. Even the assumed COLA adjustment between 2-3% each year is pretty hard to argue with—-since it is nearly dead-on the actual CPI increase average since the year 2000. Funny Money Accounting—–Trust Fund “Assets” Are Pure Confetti By contrast, the funny money aspect comes in on the funding side. The latter starts with the $2.79 trillion of “assets” sitting in the OASDI trust funds at the end of 2014. In truth, there is nothing there except government accounting confetti. This figure allegedly represents the accumulated excess of trust fund income over outgo historically, but every dime of that was spent long ago on aircraft carriers, cotton subsidies, green energy boondoggles, prison facilities for pot smokers, education grants, NSA’s cellphone snoops, space launches and the rest of Washington’s general government spending machine. So when the untrustworthies claim that that social security is “solvent” until 2034 the only thing they are really saying is that this $2.79 trillion accounting artifact has not yet been liquidated according to the rules of trust fund arithmetic. And under those “rules” it’s pretty hard to actually accomplish that—-not the least due to the compounding of phantom interest on these phantom assets. To wit, the 2015 report says that the OASDI funds will earn $1.2 trillion of interest income during the next twelve years. To be sure, the nation’s retirees and savers might well ask how Washington’s bookkeepers could manage to get the assumed 3.5% interest rate on the government’s assets compared to the 0.3% ordinary citizens earn on a bank account or even 1.4% on a 10-year treasury bond. But that’s not the real scam. The skunk in the woodpile is actually an utterly arbitrary and unjustifiable assumption about the rate of nominal GDP growth and therefore the associated gain in projected payroll tax revenues coming into the trust fund. What the untrustworthies have done here is indulge in the perfidious game of goal-seeked forecasting. That is, they have backed into a GDP growth rate sufficient to keep payroll tax revenues close to the level of benefit payouts, thereby minimizing the annual cash deficit. This, in turn, ensures that the trust fund asset balance stays close to its current $2.7 trillion level in the years just ahead, and, mirabile dictu, permits it to earn upwards of $100 billion of “interest” each year. Too be sure, beneficiaries could not actually pay for their groceries and rent with this sort of trust fund “income”, but it does keep the asset balance high and the solvency can bouncing down the road a few more years. But here’s the thing. Plug in a realistic figure for GDP growth and payroll tax revenue increases and the whole trust fund accounting scheme collapses; the bouncing can runs smack dab into a wall of trust fund insolvency. To wit, the untrustworthies who wrote the report assumed that nominal GDP would grow at a 5.1% annual rate for the next 12 years. Yet the actual growth rate has never come close to that during the entire 21st century to date. At best these people are dreaming, but the truth is they are either lying or stupid. Given the self-evident headwinds everywhere in the world, and year after year of failed “escape velocity” at home, no one paying a modicum of attention would expect US GDP to suddenly get up on its hind legs and race forward as far as the eye can see. Yet that’s exactly what the social security untrustworthies have done by assuming nominal GDP growth 35% higher than the actual 3.8% compound growth rate since the year 2000. But it’s actually worse. Since reaching peak debt just prior to the financial crisis, the US rate of GDP growth has decelerated even more. And going forward, there is no meaningful prospect of recovery in the face of the growing deflationary tide in the global economy and the unavoidable necessity for the Fed and other central banks to normalize interest rates in the decade ahead. Failing that they will literally blow-up the world’s monetary system in a devastating currency race to the bottom. Thus, during Q1 2008, which marked the end of the domestic credit binge, nominal GDP posted at $14.67 trillion, and during the most recent quarter it came in at $18.44 trillion. That amounts to a seven-year gain of just $3 trillion and an annual growth rate of 2.8%. Now surely there will be another recession before 2026. If not, we will end up with 200 straight quarters of business cycle expansion—-a preposterous prospect never remotely experienced previously. Indeed, in our modern central bank driven world, where both recessions this century have resulted from the bursting of financial bubbles, the proposition is even starker. Namely, the Washington untrustworthies are assuming no bursting bubbles or market crashes for 18 years! Not a chance! The historical business cycle expansions depicted below make clear that there will be another business cycle downturn. After all, contrary to the untrustworthies assumption that the current business cycle will last forever, and, in the analysis at hand for 200 months through the end of 2026, the average expansion since 1950 has lasted just 61 months and the longest ever was only 119 months. During the last business cycle contraction, in fact, nominal GDP declined by 3.4% between Q3 2008 and Q2 2009. And when you average that in with the 3.3% nominal GDP growth rate which we have had during the so-called recovery of the last four years, you not only get the aforementioned 2.8% trend rate of nominal GDP growth, but you are also hard-pressed to say how it can be bested in the years ahead. Indeed, as we demonstrate more fully in Part 3, there is a now an unprecedented deflationary tide rolling through the world economy owing to the last 15 years of rampant money printing and financial repression by the central banks. By collectively monetizing upwards of $20 trillion of public debt and other existing securities and driving interest rates toward the zero bound in nominal terms and deep into negative territory in real terms, they have generated two massive, deflationary distortions that have now sunk deep roots in the world economy. First, as we demonstrated earlier worldwide credit market debt outstanding has soared from $40 trillion to $220 trillion during the last two decades. This means future economic growth practically everywhere on the planet will be freighted-down by unprecedented, debilitating debt service costs. At the same time, massive overinvestment in mining, energy, shipping and manufacturing spurred by central bank enabled cheap capital has generated a huge overhang of excess capacity. This is already fueling a downward spiral of commodity and industrial prices and profit margins, and there is no end in sight. Iron ore prices which peaked at $200 per ton a few years back, for example, are now under $50 and heading for $30. Likewise, met coal prices which peaked at $400 per ton are heading under $100, while crude oil is heading for a retest of the $35 level hit during the financial crisis, and copper is on track to plunge from its recent peak of $4 per pound toward $1. These deflationary currents will suppress nominal income growth for a decade or longer owing to a now commencing counter-trend of low capital investment, shrinking industrial profits, tepid wage growth and falling prices for tradable goods and services. Accordingly, even maintaining the average nominal GDP growth rate of 2.8% realized over the last seven years will be a tall order for the US economy. Needless to say, the law of compound arithmetic can be a brutal thing if you start with a delusional hockey stick and seek to bend it back to earth. In this case, the trustees report’s 5.1% GDP growth rate assumption results in $31 trillion of GDP by 2026. Stated differently, compared to only $3 trillion of nominal GDP growth in the last 7 years we are purportedly going to get $14 trillion in the next 12 years. But let’s see. If we stay on the current 2.8% growth track, then GDP will come in at $24 trillion in 2026. Since OASDI payroll taxes amount to about 4.5% of GDP, it doesn’t take a lot of figuring to see that trust fund income would be dramatically lower in a $7 trillion smaller economy. To be exact, the untrustworthies have goal-seeked their report to generate $1.425 trillion of payroll tax revenue 12-years from now. Yet based on a simple continuation of the deeply embedded GDP growth trend of the last seven years, payroll revenue would come in at only $1.1 trillion in 2026 or $325 billion lower in that year alone. And here’s where the self-feeding illusion of trust fund accounting rears its ugly head. What counts is not simply the end-year delta, but the entire area of difference under the curve. That’s because every cumulative dollar of payroll tax shortfall not only reduces the reserve asset balance, but also the phantom interest income earned on it. So what happens under a scenario of lower payroll tax revenues is that the $2.7 trillion of current trust fund “assets” begins circling the accounting drain with increasing velocity as time passes. In effect, the permission granted to Washington to kick the can by this year’s untrustworthies report gets revoked, and right fast. To wit, instead of a cumulative total of $13.2 trillion of payroll tax revenue over the next 12 years, the actual, demonstrated GDP growth path of the present era would generate only $11.2 trillion during that period. That $2 trillion revenue difference not only ionizes most of the so-called trust fund assets, but also reduces the ending balance so rapidly that by the final year interest income computes to only $25 billion, not $100 billion as under the current report. In short, by 2026 trust fund revenue would be $400 billion per year lower owing to lower taxes and less phantom interest. Accordingly, the current modest projected trust fund deficit of $150 billion would explode to upwards of $600 billion after the last of the phony interest income was booked. Needless to say, that massive shortfall would amount to nearly 33% of the projected OASDI outgo of $1.8 trillion for 2026. More importantly, instead of a healthy cushion of $2.4 trillion of assets (or two year’s outgo) as the untrustworthies projected last year, the fund balance would be down to just $80 billion at year-end 2026. Now that’s about 15 days of the next year’s OASDI outlays. The system would go tilt. Benefits would be automatically cut back to the level of tax revenue or by 33%. The greatest social crisis of the century would be storming out of every hill and dale in the land. Yes, Jacob Lew is a Washington-Wall Street apparatchik who wouldn’t grasp the self-destructing flaws of trust fund accounting if they smacked him in the forehead. And the same is apparently true for the other trustees. But here’s where the venality comes in. In order to goal-seek to 5% nominal GDP growth, the trustees report assumes that real GDP will average 3.1% per year through the year 2020. Now, c’mon. Since the pre-crisis peak in late 2007, real GDP growth has averaged only 1.2% annually, and only 1.8% per year during the entire 16-years of this century. Anybody who signed up for 3.1% real growth through 2020——that is, for scorching growth during month 67 through month 140 of a tepid business cycle expansion which is already long-in-the-tooth by historical standards—-is flat-out irresponsible and dishonest. Calling their mendacious handiwork the “untrustworthies report” is actually more flattering than they deserve.

Conservative Leaders Call on Media to Report on Genocide of Christians

By Michael W. Chapman | August 11, 2016 | 1:37 PM EDT

(CNSNews.com) – In an August 10 letter to ABC, CBS, and NBC, more than 30 conservative leaders called on the networks, and the media overall, to seriously and aggressively cover the genocide of Christians in the Middle East and Africa, “and continue to do so until the civilized world puts an end to this evil.” “Christianity is on the verge of being wiped out in the Middle East,” the letter reads. “Ancient communities that have existed since the time of the apostles are being systematically eliminated. In Iraq alone, the number of Christians has plunged from one million to under 275,000 in the last 12 years alone.” “This is not a few instances of violence or vandalism,” states the letter. “This is a Genocide.” Thousands of Christians have been slaughtered by the Islamic State in Iraq, Syria, and Libya, and tens of thousands of Christians have fled their homelands into refugee camps in Jordan and other countries. Christians are also being killed in Africa and South Asia by radical Muslims. The U.S. government officially declared this atrocity “genocide” in March 2016, and other governments and human rights leaders started calling it genocide as early as 2013. Yet a new study by the Media Research Center (MRC) shows that for two-and-a-half years (January 2014 -- June 2016), the networks ABC, CBS, and NBC have reported on the persecution of Christians in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia just 60 times. In only six of those reports did the networks use the word “genocide.” “Christians have been murdered -- often mass murders – in a dozen countries,” reads the letter. “Islamic terrorists have tortured, beheaded, crucified or burned alive priests, nuns and worshippers alike. Families are routinely broken up and women are forced into sexual slavery.” “Stunningly, almost none of it has made the evening news broadcasts, and the networks almost never called what it is: genocide,” states the letter. “It is long past time for the media to report on the extent of this historic calamity.” It continues, “Even though some traditional print outlets have covered this horror, America’s main source for news, the broadcast networks, have shamefully neglected to do so. ABC, NBC and CBS have only sporadically reported on the ethnic cleansing of some of the world’s oldest Christian sects from Iraq and Syria, and the bloody fate of those who remained. And even after this administration finally acknowledged this is a genocide, they continue to avoid using ‘genocide’ to describe what ISIS and affiliated Muslim extremists are inflicting on Christians in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia even now.”

How Close Are We to Biometric Credit Cards? Closer Than You Think, Whether You Want Them or Not

Fingerprint-based credit cards have long been part of the “future” discussion of financial payments. But is that future right now?

Brian O'Connell Follow Aug 8, 2016 2:18 PM EDT

With 47% of credit card users claiming some form of card fraud in the past five years, the urge among financial technology developers is to develop credit cards that promise to batten down the hatches against cyber-fraudsters. That day may be coming sooner than you think. "The need for a safer biometric credit card has never been clearer," says Chaya Hendrick, CEO at SmartMetric, a manufacturer of biometric, fingertip-based credit cards. "That's why we have spent over a decade in research and development to place a fingerprint reader inside a credit card. Biometric cards are a quantum leap in credit card security and arguably the biggest advance in card security since the invention of the credit card itself." SmartMetric released its biometric payment card last April at the Smart Card Alliance Payments Forum in Orlando, Fla., and says it's currently "in talks with card issuing banks around the world." According to the company, the technology relies on an internally-developed "super-thin" fully functional fingerprint reader that is embedded inside the credit card. "The biometric reader is used to turn on the card's surface chip following a fingerprint match and prior to being inserted into card readers or ATMs," the company says in an email to TheStreet. The card technology works with chip-based payment cards, which now number 4.8 billion in a global basis, according to SmartMetric. The SmartMetric card isn't actually the first in line with a fingerprint card. "In truth, the technology is already available," says Monica Eaton-Cardone, founder of Chargebacks911, in Clearwater, Fla. "MasterCard first partnered with a company named Zwipe to perform a test run of biometric cards in Europe back in 2014."

The light fantastic: Perseid meteor shower illuminates the night skies around the world as the spectacle reaches its peak this weekend

Annual spectacle takes place in July and August and is result of particles falling from Comet Swift-Tuttle

Chances of glimpsing shower is greater, as rate of meteors has doubled to 200 shooting stars an hour

Photographs show the meteor shower seen around the world, including in the UK and America

By Emily Chan and Shivali Best For Mailonline Published: 07:24 EST, 13 August 2016 | Updated: 08:52 EST, 13 August 2016

Stunning photographs have captured the Perseid meteor shower that has been delighting stargazers across the world. The annual spectacle reaches its peak this weekend, when there also happens to be a darker sky than usual, making the shower clearer to see. The Perseid shower takes place in July and August and is the result of particles falling from the Comet Swift-Tuttle. Nasa has said the rate of meteors has doubled, with around shooting stars 200 per hour, meaning the chance of catching a glimpse of the shower is greater this year. Photographs have captured the stunning skies seen in Northumberland and Dorset, as well as Washington State in the US. The trail of particles from the comet forms meteors, or shooting stars as they are also known, which heat up as they enter the Earth’s atmosphere creating tails of light across the sky. These specific meteors travel at a speed of 132,000 miles per hour and are called Perseids due to the way in which they appear to streak away from the Perseus Constellation. Since meteoroids that create a meteor shower all move on a parallel path, and at the same speed, they seem to originate from a single point in the sky to observers on Earth, known as the radiant. As the Perseids shower occurs at a similar time as the Delta Aquarids shower, it can be confusing trying to understand which one you are seeing. Viewing the sky from the Northern Hemisphere, the Delta Aquarids will appear to come from the south, while the Perseids will come from the north. Conversely, in the Southern Hemisphere, the Delta Aquarids will appear to originate just overhead, and the Perseids will stem from the north. Based on records, the normal rate of the Perseid meteor shower is 50 to 75 meteors per hour but according to Nasa, the rate will double this year to about 150 to 200 meteors per hour. On Thursday night as well as the meteor shower, Mars, Saturn and the moon aligned. A large triangle could be seen, with the moon appearing to be white, Mars a bright orange, and Saturn a yellow colour. Catching a glimpse of the meteor shower will very much depend on your location. However, the best time to watch the sky for these shooting stars will be around midnight. Because meteors can be quite faint, it is best to look out for them in a dark sky, free of moonlight and artificial lights.

Caskets float down the street in devastating Louisiana floods: Grim scenes as 500-year storm leaves up to 10,000 people homeless

Obama declared flooding in Louisiana a disaster, allowing federal funds to reach four parishes hit hardest by rainfall on Friday

Governor said more than 10k are now in shelters, and 20k were rescued

Four people were reported dead, and another body was recovered late Sunday from a flooded vehicle in East Baton Rouge Parish

Conditions could worsen, as heavy rain with threat of flash flooding is forecasted through Monday

Emergency officials are strategizing ways to rescue those still trapped

Some 1,700 members of the Louisiana National Guard have been deployed for rescue efforts

By Dailymail.com Reporter Published: 23:53 EST, 14 August 2016 | Updated: 07:36 EST, 15 August 2016

President Barack Obama declared Louisiana was in a state of disaster on Sunday after a historic flood left at least five people dead, with emergency crews working to rescue thousands more. Governor John Bel Edwards said more than 10,000 people are now in shelters and more than 20,000 people have been rescued across south Louisiana. More than a foot of rain fell overnight on Friday - in a deluge estimated to occur once every 500 years, according to the Pacific Standard. In shocking photos showing the devastation, caskets that had washed up from a graveyard floated down the street in Denham Springs, Louisiana. Four people have been reported dead, said Devin George, the state registrar for vital records, earlier Sunday. A woman's body was later recovered by divers from inside a flooded vehicle in East Baton Rouge Parish, appearing to raise the death toll to five. Witnesses said the woman was seen Saturday night attempting to turn around in high water when her vehicle was swept away, said Casey Rayborn Hicks, a spokeswoman for the sheriff's office. In one dramatic rescue Saturday, two men on a boat pulled a woman from a car that was almost completely underwater, according to video by WAFB. The woman, who's not initially visible on camera, yells from inside the car: 'Oh my god, I'm drowning.' One of the rescuers, David Phung, jumped into the brown water and pulled the woman to safety. After the woman pleaded with him to save her dog, Phung went underwater and resurfaced with the animal. But things could get worse since the National Weather Service forecasts heavy rain from the Gulf Coast as far north as the Ohio Valley through Monday, with a threat of flash flooding. While the brunt of the storm that brought torrential rains was moving west toward Texas, Louisiana residents should remain cautious, the governor said at a news conference. 'Even with the sunshine out today intermittently, the waters are going to continue to rise in many areas, so this is no time to let the guard down,' Edwards said, calling the flooding unprecedented. Obama issued the disaster declaration after speaking with Edwards, making federal aid available in the parishes of East Baton Rouge, Livingston, St. Helena and Tangipahoa, hit hardest by the floods. Edwards said in a statement that other parishes could be added to the list. Emergency officials still were working on strategies to rescue an undetermined number of people trapped by the waters. 'We're very much still in the search and rescue mode,' said James Waskcom, director of the state's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness. In Livingston Parish, phone service was spotty due to the high waters and most shelters were full. A Greyhound Bus traveling from Memphis, Tennessee, to Baton Rouge was diverted to a shelter because of flooded roadways. Robert and Gwen Arceneaux gathered up their dogs and a few bags of belongings and fled out the back door of their house after enduring a sleepless night as they watched the floodwater creep into their home. They eventually waded through waist-deep water to a passing National Guard truck, joining the more than 20,000 people rescued from their homes in a still-growing tragedy across southern Louisiana. Now safe at a movie studio-lot-turned-shelter their worries weren't over, as they tried to get medication for Robert, who suffers from lung cancer. Across southern Louisiana Sunday, residents scrambled to get to safety as rivers and creeks burst their banks, swollen from days of heavy rain that in some areas came close to two feet over a 48-hour period. About 5,000 people had been forced to sleep in shelters overnight around the state, said Marketa Walters, head of Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services. Louisiana State Police Colonel Michael Edmonson said helicopters were transporting food and water to those still trapped by floods. Helicopters also were transporting some seriously ill people to areas outside the high waters. Some 1,700 members of the Louisiana National Guard have been deployed for rescue efforts.

It's official: Obama to send TPP to Congress

Jeff Sessions: 'He arrogantly thinks he knows best'

Published: 08/14/2016 at 2:42 PM

NEW YORK – The White House has put Congress on official notice that it will be sending lawmakers a bill to implement President Barack Obama’s Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement later this year. The White House submitted what’s known as a Statement of Administrative Action giving Congress a 30-day notification that the administration plans to present legislation implementing the TPP.  Obama has previously said that he intends to push the TPP in the lame-duck session of Congress after the election. Congressional leaders have said they would not consider the so-called “free trade” deal before the election because it is extremely unpopular with voters. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have spoken out against the TPP, though Clinton helped negotiate it and once called it the “gold standard.” The economic tipping point for the U.S. is no longer theoretical. It is a reality today. Read “Crash Proof: How to Profit From the Coming Economic Collapse.” The administration’s latest move makes it official it will push the controversial agreement in the lame duck. Senator Jeff Sessions, a vocal opponent of the TPP and top adviser to Donald Trump blasted Obama for disregarding the will of the American people. “Americans know these agreements have allowed trade practices that unfairly close manufacturing plants, costing millions of high paying jobs,” Sessions said. “President Obama knows that the only chance he has of passing the TPP is during this short window [of the lame duck]. His determination flies in the face of the clear will of the American people, as demonstrated in the primaries,” he added. Sessions said the lame-duck session is tailored-made for special interests to sneak unpopular legislation through. “Our nation is about to see once again how powerful forces work overtime to advance a globalist agenda that the people oppose,” the Republican senator from Alabama said. Like the reporting you see here? Sign up for free news alerts from WND.com, America’s independent news network. The Statement of Administrative Action that the White House submitted is required under trade promotion authority legislation Congress passed last year. The White House submitted its notice on Friday, a day the administration typically puts out news it hopes will be ignored. It came on a day the media was preoccupied with an economic address Hillary Clinton delivered on Thursday. The notice confirms that Obama will push the TPP, the biggest agreement of its kind in U.S. history, before the end of the year. Obama sees it as a way to cement his agenda in place after he leaves the White House, and to fulfill his stated ambition to fundamentally transform America. The Trans-Pacific Partnership is a global regulatory pact that involves 12 countries on four continents. Obama says it will “write the rules for the global economy. While the TPP is being presented as a trade agreement, it is far more comprehensive and undermines U.S. national sovereignty. “The 5,554-page accord, disguised as a simple trade agreement, commits the American people to an international commission with the power to act around Congress. It allows 12 nations, some with less than 1 percent of the GDP of the United States, an equal vote in the TPP Commission. Actions by this commission separate the American people from the policy decisions that affect their lives. The TPP Commission is a direct threat to representative democracy and accountability,” said Sen. Sessions. The TPP sets up a TransPacific Partnership Commission that would have sweeping regulatory powers over immigration, food, energy, medicine, Internet, intellectual property and businesses within our borders as well as across borders. Under the terms of the agreement, Congress would have no role in creating or approving the rules this commission writes. “President Obama does not care what the good people of this nation want. He arrogantly thinks he knows best. If he could pass it with his ‘pen and phone,’ he surely would,” said Sessions. While Hillary Clinton claims she will oppose the TPP when she is president, her campaign says she will not mount any opposition to it when it comes up in a lame-duck session later this year. Her campaign did not comment on the latest move by the White House to jam the agreement through Congress before Obama leaves office. Donald Trump has made opposition to TPP a centerpiece of his campaign and has said he will withdraw from the agreement on day one of his presidency should it be approved.

Know Comment: Should ISIS be wiped out?

By DAVID M. WEINBERG \ 08/14/2016 21:40

The most conservative Iranian newspaper, Kayhan, which is considered the mouthpiece of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, yesterday led with a most unusual front page headline: “A Zionist think tank leader says Islamic State is useful in the battle against Iran. Don’t demolish ISIS!” The headline correctly referred to a controversial article published earlier this week by the respected director of the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, Prof. Efraim Inbar. Inbar indeed argued that the West should not seek the destruction of the Islamic State (IS, ISIS or Daesh), only its weakening. Of course, Inbar wasn’t seeking to defend ISIS at all, but rather was pointing to the fact that the Obama administration has inflated the threat from ISIS in order to legitimize Iran as a “responsible actor” that will, supposedly, fight ISIS in the Middle East. This was part of the Obama administration’s rationale for its rotten nuclear deal with Iran. Inbar argued, admittedly counter-intuitively, that a weakened but lingering ISIS would help undermine Tehran’s ambitious plan for domination of the Middle East, while a complete defeat of ISIS would only enhance Iranian hegemony, buttress Russia’s role in the region and prolong Syrian President Bashar Assad’s tyranny. Inbar: “A dysfunctional and embattled ISIS is more conducive to the disillusionment of Muslim adherents of a caliphate in our times than an ISIS destroyed by a mighty America-led coalition. The latter scenario perfectly fits the narrative of continuous and perfidious efforts on the part of the West to destroy Islam, which feeds radical Muslim hatred for everything the West stands for.” The West yearns for stability, and holds out a naive hope that military defeat of ISIS will be instrumental in reaching that goal, wrote Inbar. “But stability is not a value in and of itself. It is desirable only if it serves our interests. And the continuing existence of ISIS serves Western strategic purposes.” The reactions to Inbar’s article came fast – as befits a place of intellectual ferment and policy creativity like the BESA Center. Inbar’s colleague, Col. (res.) Dr. Eran Lerman (a senior research associate at the center and a former deputy director of Israel’s National Security Council), published a counter-article on the center’s website declaring that the continued existence of ISIS fortifies, rather than enervates, Iran’s quest for hegemony. “The destruction of IS should be the first stage in a campaign designed ultimately to isolate and contain Iran,” he wrote. Lerman admitted that Inbar’s hard-knuckled, realist point of view reflects the anguish felt by many in Israel and across the region as they watch the US administration and others get their priorities wrong, by defining Iran as an asset and potential ally in the war against the so-called caliphate. “Even so, a strategy that leaves ISIS bruised but alive would pose serious dangers. The norm that terror cannot be tolerated is a precious one... and the coordinated Western campaign against ISIS is a development Israelis and others should welcome, not disparage. Moreover, the total defeat of ISIS on the battlefield likely would lead to the collapse of the ideas for which ISIS stands. Furthermore, the continued existence of ISIS and its horrors is a gift to Ayatollah Khamenei. He uses it to lure Turkey, blame the Saudis, and justify the ravages inflicted on Sunnis in Iraq and Syria by Iran’s proxies.” Lerman similarly rejected President Barack Obama’s raw, realist attempt to portray Iran and ISIS as balancing rivals. The Western and Sunni “camp of stability,” he says, must craft a strategy that sees all Islamists – Iran, ISIS and the Ikhwan (Muslim Brotherhood) – as enemies. “Together, these partners should outline a phased campaign that begins with the destruction of ISIS, moves on to the marginalization of the [Muslim] Brotherhood, and ultimately isolates the Iranian regime and takes back the gains it made in the name of fighting ISIS.” Paraphrasing the Roman senator Cato, Lerman concluded his article thus: Raqqa delenda est, i.e., the capital of the ISIS state needs to be taken and the organization destroyed. Inbar was similarly challenged by another colleague, Prof. Steven David of Johns Hopkins University (a member of the International Academic Advisory Board of the Begin-Sadat Center). “Defeating ISIS and the horror it perpetuates requires nothing less than the elimination of its caliphate. Through control of territory, ISIS is able to inspire and train recruits, to direct terrorist attacks, and to demonstrate the West’s inability to eradicate a pressing threat,” Prof. David wrote. “In the heart of the Middle East, ISIS thumbs its nose at the world, killing hundreds of innocents while destabilizing a critical region. What does this say about the West’s ability to protect its own? With each terrorist outrage and triumphant claim of responsibility from ISIS, the West’s credibility shrinks. If a collection of the world’s most powerful states cannot eliminate an ongoing threat to its interests perpetuated by maybe 30,000 fanatics armed with little more than pickup trucks, the ability of the West to ensure the security of its own countries – to say nothing of creating a liberal world order – is called into question.” Inbar is standing his ground. To Dr. Lerman’s argument that ISIS excuses Iran’s drive for regional hegemony, Inbar points out that Iran doesn’t need this excuse. To Prof. David’s argument that the success of ISIS exposes Western weakness, Inbar responds that Western weakness is much more manifest through Obama’s capitulation to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, Assad and Russian President Vladimir Putin than it is to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi of ISIS. The threat to the West of Iranian nuclear weapons and Iranian Mideast hegemony (and of Russian revanchism in Europe) is far greater than the terrorist nuisance of ISIS, according to Inbar. And to the argument that destruction of Baghdadi’s caliphate will cap terrorism, Inbar retorts that Islamic insurgents already are deeply embedded in dozens of countries around the world, with Shi’ite (Iranian/Hezbollah) and other Sunni networks to serve them. What can we say? The only certain thing is that Ayatollah Khamenei is watching this quintessentially Western open debate with amusement. www.davidmweinberg.com

Will Temple Mount Tensions Yet Again Strain Israeli-Jordanian Relations?

JNS.org – Jordan’s King Abdullah II vowed to fight against repeated violations and attacks carried out by Israel and extremist groups on the Temple Mount complex, according to an interview in the Jordanian daily Ad-Dustour last week. Tension between Israel and Jordan over the Temple Mount has simmered for the past few years, with Jewish worshipers and Muslim activists clashing at the holy site, igniting larger waves of protests and terrorism by Islamists. Late last year, these tensions caused Jordan to recall its Israel ambassador, returning him only in February. That followed steps by Israel to ease restrictions on Muslim access to the holy site put in place to reduce violence, which further showed a willingness to uphold the status quo agreement. In his interview, King Abdullah claimed that Israel was seeking to “Judaize” the site and “violate [its] sanctity.” He added, “Our responsibility towards the Muslim holy places in Jerusalem is our top priority in the international arena, and we use all means necessary to defend the Al-Aqsa Mosque.” Further, he vowed that Jordan would resist Israel’s “blatantly repeated attempts to change the status quo in Jerusalem regarding its landmarks and the prejudice against Islamic and Christian peoples.” These latest comments may signal a deepening strain in relations between Israel and Jordan, one of only two Arab states that has a peace treaty with the Jewish state. The Temple Mount — the site of the two former Jewish temples — has long played a pivotal role in Jewish affairs and worship. Yet after the Second Temple was destroyed by the Romans in the 1st century CE, the site passed through a succession of foreign rulers, from the Muslim Caliphs and Crusaders to more recently the Ottoman and British empires. While the site was under control of the Muslim Umayyad Caliphate in 691 CE, the Dome of the Rock was built over the site of the former Jewish Temple, a move that still ignites impassioned debate today. After failing to gain control of Jerusalem’s Old City during the 1948 War of Independence, Israeli forces captured the Old City and the Temple Mount from Jordan during the 1967 Six-Day War. Despite regaining Jewish sovereignty over the Temple Mount, for the first time in nearly 2,000 years, Israeli leaders relinquished religious sovereignty over the site to the Jordanian-run Islamic Waqf. Under that arrangement, which would become the “status quo,” Jewish prayer was forbidden on the Temple Mount and non-Muslim access was restricted to certain days and hours. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly insisted that Israel will not change the Israeli-Jordanian-Palestinian status quo, despite pressure from some members of his own political party and ministerial cabinet to do so. Jonathan Schanzer, vice president for research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told JNS.org Israel has been consistent with maintaining the status quo. “There has been no change in policy. The only thing that has changed is there has been an increase in the number of Jewish visitors to the compound,” he said. Still, many within Jordan and the wider Arab world don’t fully understand the status quo agreement, Dr.Abdullah Swalha, director of the Center for Israel Studies in Jordan, explained to JNS.org. “A majority of the people in Jordan and the Arab world don’t understand the agreement since the 1967 war that allowed Jews to visit Temple Mount but not pray,” Swalha said. “When they saw Jews ascended the Temple Mount it made [Jordanians] very upset.” The Temple Mount status quo should be maintained, and Israel must make it clear that it has no plans to harm or destroy the site, or change the status quo, Swalha said. The most dangerous thing, he added, would be for the conflict in Jerusalem to escalate from a national conflict to a religious one. However, Islamist groups, led by the northern branch of the Islamic Movement in Israel and Hamas, which are sponsored by Qatar and Turkey, are seeking to incite tensions on the Temple Mount to create a new situation at the expense of Jordan’s role, Swalha added. Israeli officials have long blamed Palestinian groups like Hamas and the Islamic Movement as well as Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas of using the Temple Mount to incite violence. “For several years now, the PLO [Palestinian Liberation Organization] has waged a campaign claiming that settlers are storming the Temple Mount,” said Schanzer, of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. “This is a wild exaggeration. Jews are allowed on the compound during specific, limited and allotted times. Admittedly, there has been an uptick in the number of Jewish visitors reflecting an increased interest in visiting the Temple Mount. But there is nothing outwardly extremist about these visits.” While King Abdullah understands that Netanyahu seeks to maintain the status quo, there is concern among Jordanians about groups within Israel that are calling for greater Jewish access to the holy site. “Unfortunately, we’ve heard many voices expressing a different opinion, especially from the extremely religious groups [in Israel],” Swalha said. “In light of the absence of enough information about domestic policy in Israel, the people in the Arab world thought that this is the stance of the Israel government.” While tensions continue over the Temple Mount, the relationship between Israel and Jordan otherwise remains fairly strong, as both countries seek to cooperate on a number of economic and security areas amid challenges posed by extremist groups such as the Islamic State. Military and intelligence cooperation is consistently good, Schanzer said. The diplomatic agreement between the two sides has endured. Jordan’s king recognizes the value of his cooperation with Israel. In April, IDF Deputy Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Yair Golan said that Israel has seen “unprecedented” intelligence cooperation with Egypt and Jordan as both countries work against the common threat posed by the Islamic State and other extremists. In addition, there have been a number of important economic developments between the two countries recently. Last month, a senior Israeli delegation, led by Deputy Minister of Regional Cooperation Ayoob Kara, met with Jordanian Prime Minister Hani Al-Muki to discuss cooperation on energy, water resources and infrastructure projects. These projects are important to Jordan, as its economy and basic infrastructure has been severely strained by the several million Syrian refugees it has taken in. The largest deal currently being planned between the two countries is a 200 km (124 mile) underground pipeline between the Red Sea and Dead Sea, which also includes a hydroelectric power plant. Other expected agreements include a deal for Israel to provide Jordan with natural gas as well as a joint industrial zone along the Israel-Jordan border, south of the Israeli city of Beit Shean, that would include factories and warehouses on both sides. “There is high level of cooperation between Jordan and Israel on various issues such as security, environment, agriculture and energy,” Swalha said. “However, the bilateral relations have been held hostage to Palestinian-Israeli interactions.” Despite the challenges over the Temple Mount, Israel and many Sunni Arab states, such as Jordan, face a common threat from growing Iranian influence and Islamic terrorist groups like ISIS. Swalha believes the warm relationship between Israel and Jordan could be a bridge to wider peace with the Sunni Arab world. “Jordan could play a key role in bringing all the parties (Israel and Sunni Arab states) together,” he said. However, progress on Israeli-Palestinian peace needs to be renewed if there is going to be any breakthrough in Israeli-Arab relations.

At least 73 dead after strong earthquake rocks central Italy, destroys entire town

At least 73 people were killed early Wednesday when a 6.2-magnitude earthquake rippled through central Italy, waking residents as it rumbled to Rome. Entire blocks of Amatrice — a town near the earthquake's epicenter famous for being the birthplace of spaghetti all'amatriciana — were destroyed after the first earthquake struck around 3:30 a.m. local time in the mountainous provinces of Umbria and Perugia. Powerful aftershocks followed. “The town isn’t here anymore,” Amatrice Mayor Sergio Pirozzi told state-run RAI radio. Amatrice was set to host its annual festival for its namesake pasta this weekend. The city center where the festivities honoring the dish — made bacon-like bits of cured pork jowl, pecorino cheese and tomato — is now reduced to rubble. At least 73 bodies have been found in the debris, CNN reported. The death toll rose at daybreak when emergency crews rushed to find survivors in the hard-hit towns of Amatrice, Pescara del Tronto and Accumoli, digging into leveled buildings with shovels, bulldozers and their bare hands. Landslides tore through Pescara del Tronto and Arquata del Tronto, quiet villages separated by only two miles built into the lush hillsides of Marche. At least five people — including a family of four — died when a building in the small town of Accumoli collapsed. "Now that daylight has come, we see that the situation is even more dreadful than we feared, with buildings collapsed, people trapped under the rubble and no sound of life," Accumoli Mayor Stefano Petrucci told Reuters. The initial tremor was followed by at least seven major aftershocks focused around Norcia, a town 70 miles northeast of Rome, where startled residents in the Italian capital reported swaying homes. etc. and the news story continues..

WATCH: IDF Busts 7 Palestinian Weapons Workshops in West Bank, Seizes Dozens of Guns

by TheTower.org Staff | 08.23.16 12:42 pm

Israeli security forces raided seven Palestinian-run West Bank weapons workshops early Tuesday morning, confiscating dozens of illegal guns. An IDF official told The Times of Israel that the operation, the largest of its sort this year thus far, was part of an ongoing effort to reduce the number of illegal arms circulating in the West Bank. The raids targeting workshops in the Hebron and Bethlehem areas yielded about 50 weapons and some 22 pieces of gunsmithing machinery. Though the machinery, including drill presses and metal lathes, is common to most machines shops, the equipment seized appeared to “specifically designed for the manufacturing of weapons,” the IDF official said. The recovered weapons include handguns, shotguns, and Carlo-style submachine guns, which are based on the design of Carl Gustav submachine guns. Security forces also confiscated gun parts — including grips, barrels, and stocks — that could have been used to manufacture more weapons and ammunition. Two Palestinians that the IDF identified as the leading owners of the factories were arrested in the raids. The official said that they did not appear to have ties to terrorist groups and were likely motivated by money. “It seems to be a combination of market demand and the ability to manufacture,” he said. The raids were carried out overnight by a combination of forces from the IDF, Israel Police, and Israel’s internal security agency, the Shin Bet. They were made possible after months of developing “signal intelligence, human intelligence and visual intelligence,” another IDF official said. There is no reason to believe that any of the weapons manufactured by the arrested gun makers were sold specifically for use in terrorist attacks, the official added. The guns could have been purchased for different reasons, including self-defense, criminal purposes, or terrorism, he added. However, “someone who has one of these weapons at home [for self-defense] might hide it in a closet. And when his son gets carried away by incitement, he goes and takes this weapon to carry out attacks,” the officer said. While the latest wave of Palestinian terrorism against Israeli civilians has been nicknamed the “knife intifada,” it also included more than 100 shootings since it began last September, according to Israeli authorities. In response, the IDF and other security agencies have carried out a number of raids in the West Bank in recent months, arresting 140 people and netting over 300 weapons and 50 pieces of machinery.

Under New Philippine President, Nearly 1,800 Have Died In Extrajudicial Killings

By Camila Domonoske • Aug 23, 2016

Rodrigo Duterte, the new president of the Philippines, campaigned as a tough-on-crime candidate, threatening death for drug dealers. And in the seven weeks since he took office, nearly 1,800 alleged criminals have died — at the hands of police or under mysterious circumstances. The wave of extrajudicial killings has prompted outcry from human rights watchdogs, the Catholic Church and the United Nations. Now the Philippine Senate is investigating the deaths. Observers believed there had been hundreds. Then, in a committee meeting Monday, the national police chief said that since Duterte was elected, police operations have killed 712 alleged drug traffickers and users. An additional 1,067 killings occurred under unclear circumstances, he said; observers believe some were carried out by vigilantes. "This is like anarchy," Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV told the police chief, according to The Associated Press. "It's continuing under your watch." Rhetoric warned of death for criminals As The Two-Way has reported, Duterte is nicknamed "The Punisher" and has spoken bluntly — even shockingly — about his determination to crack down on crime. It was his central campaign promise. He pledged to kill 100,000 criminals during his first six months as president, and drop their bodies in Manila Bay until "the fish will grow fat," The New York Times has reported. He told corrupt cops he would kill them. "Don't take this as a joke. I'm not making you laugh," Duterte said, as translated by CNN Philippines. "Son of a bitch, I will kill you." He has called on everyday citizens to shoot drug dealers. "Please feel free to call us, the police, or do it yourself if you have the gun, you have my support," he said, according to Newsweek. "Shoot him and I'll give you a medal." He emphasized his message in his final campaign speech. "Forget the laws on human rights. If I make it to the presidential palace, I will do just what I did as mayor. You drug pushers, hold-up men and do-nothings ... I'll kill you," he said, as The Guardian reported. Duterte frequently referenced his seven terms as mayor of Davao City on the campaign trail. During his tenure, crime was strikingly reduced in the city, once known as the Philippines' murder capital. But, as we've written, human rights groups have accused the then-mayor of either permitting or outright encouraging death squads to conduct hundreds of extrajudicial killings of alleged criminals. Duterte has variously denied and confirmed ordering execution-style street killings in Davao City — at times he has even claimed to have personally killed criminals. In a TV interview, when the interviewer asked about the 700 extrajudicial killings during his tenure, he corrected the record: It was 1,700, he said. His tough-on-crime message was popular during the presidential campaign, and Duterte won in a landslide. After election, concerns about crackdown As soon as he took office, Duterte initiated a broad crackdown on the drug trade — and observers quickly noticed a rise in extrajudicial killings. Philippine news outlet ABS-CBN tracked an increase in reports of drug-related deaths that began after Duterte's election and spiked upward when he took office. Not everyone has been opposed to the crackdown, as Michael Sullivan reported for NPR. It was, after all, exactly what Duterte had promised to do. Many Filipinos, perceiving a culture of impunity, are impressed that Duterte takes a hard line against corrupt cops as well as against street criminals, Sullivan says. But human rights advocates were worried from the very beginning of Duterte's term. "Few doubt his sincerity or resolve" to fight crime, Sullivan says. "It's his methods that have brought opposition." The alleged extrajudicial killings are carried out without a trial. Some purported dealers and users are killed by police; in other cases, bodies are found on the street, sometimes with cardboard signs from apparent vigilantes declaring that the deceased was a drug dealer, The New York Times reports. The newspaper highlighted one case in particular — where a father and son were both killed while in police custody — that has captured attention in the Philippines. Archbishop Socrates Villegas, president of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines, brought up the killings of drug suspects in a homily two weeks ago. He said fighting drug addiction couldn't justify the deaths. "Are we providing our children a safe haven, by teaching them by our tolerance of murders, that killing suspected criminals without fair hearing is a morally acceptable way to eradicate crime?" he asked. "From a generation of drug addicts shall we become a generation of street murderers?" Now a Senate justice committee led by Sen. Leila de Lima is investigating the killings. De Lima has said she's worried that Duterte's crackdown is enabling "murder with impunity" by police and vigilantes, the AP reports. In response to the inquiry, Duterte accused de Lima of personal connections to the drug trade. Standing firm against criticism The Associated Press reports that more than 4,000 people have been arrested for allegedly dealing drugs since Duterte took office. "Nearly 600,000 people have surrendered to authorities, hoping to avoid getting killed," the wire service writes. "The arrests have further overwhelmed the Philippines' overcrowded jails." Duterte and National Police Chief Ronald dela Rosa have both said they do not condone extrajudicial killings, the Philippines' ABS-CBN News reports. Duterte said police should kill only in self-defense, but also said "the fight against drugs will continue unrelenting," Reuters reports. And the president made international news in his response to criticism from the United Nations. Agnes Callamard, U.N. Special Rapporteur on summary executions, said in regard to the Philippines that "claims to fight illicit drug trade ... do not shield state actors or others from responsibility for illegal killings." In response, Duterte threatened to leave the U.N. "Maybe we'll just have to decide to separate from the United Nations. If you're that rude, son of a bitch, we'll just leave you," he said, according to the AP. Asked about possible repercussions of making such a claim, Duterte said: "I don't give a shit about them. They are the ones interfering." He highlighted the war in Syria as a failure of the "stupid" U.N. The Philippines' foreign minister later said the country would not be leaving the U.N. and that Duterte was just expressing frustration. The U.S., a major ally of the Philippines, has also expressed concern over the wave of extrajudicial killings. In response, the AP reports, Duterte asked the U.S. to answer for police shootings of black people.

Clinton Insider Warns: Hillary's 'Worst Nightmares' Coming True!

August 22, 2016 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

According to longtime Clinton family friend and former US Secretary of Commerce Bill Kantor, the emergence of Stephen K. Bannon as a force to be reckoned with in a major role in Donald Trump's campaign is 'beyond anything anyone even thought about in their worst nightmares'. Called last October by this Bloomberg story "the most dangerous political operative in America" we have to ask, has Hillary Clinton's team finally met their 'kryptonite' in Breitbart's Bannon? The Bloomberg story continues that Bannon is running the 'new, vast, right-wing conspiracy' and wanted then to 'take down both Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush'. Bannon for America? One down, one to go! In this new NY Times story recently linked to by the Drudge Report, we read that the Clinton camp is keeping a very wary eye on 'conspiracy theories' and according to Robby Mook, Clinton's campaign manager, Donald Trump is merely 'peddling conspiracy theories' that have been brought up again and again. If anybody thinks that Trump's 'search for truth' might end, Mook recently issued this warning: “We hear rehashed conspiracy theories,” he added moments later. “He doubled down on this today,” Mr. Mook said, wrapping up, “by appointing someone to lead his campaign who makes these conspiracy theories basically his professional mission.” (Interestingly enough, the Clinton body count ALSO continues to grow and grow and grow in 2016!) While the mainstream media was being 'slain' by NY Post columnist Michael Goodwin in a recent story for 'going into a frenzy to bury Donald Trump' and thus 'collapsing American journalism as we know it', we see what Goodwin calls a 'shameful display' of naked partisanship by the 'elite media' unlike anything seen before in modern history as the MSM joins the Oval Office, Barack Obama and the Clinton campaign in attempting to keep Trump out of office. In what should provide a final 'stake in the heart' of the credibility of those who America has been getting their news from for decades, it's no surprise that outlets such as CNN, MSNBC and the other 'shameful collaborators' are seeing their viewership hemorrhaging while their credibility collapses while websites such as the Drudge Report are hitting all-time highs. Why won't the mainstream media cover such important topics as Hillary Clinton's health, the 'Clinton body count', the crimes of the Clinton Foundation and all of the other scandals that seem to emerge daily hounding Hillary? Not only are we witnessing a complete failure of our mainstream media but we're also witnessing websites such as Google actually removing 'Clinton body count' from auto-complete while in this new story at the Daily Mail we're told that over at the National Archives, FBI files linking Hillary Clinton to the death of Vincent Foster have suddenly and conveniently been removed. It's also becoming more and more clear that what the American people want is the 'truth', whatever that truth might be, and we're certainly not going to get anything like truth from 'crooked-lying Hillary' nor the mainstream media. As this NY Times story tells us, Bannon's Breitbart recently had a July with over 18.3 million unique views running stories that the mainstream media dares not to touch, stories that touch at the very heart of corruption that we're witnessing in America today with an MSM that long ago began destroying itself by refusing to publish them. Back on August 19th we reported that according to Christina Reynolds, the deputy communications director of Clinton's campaign, websites such as Breitbart, Infowars and ANP 'don't even have the right to exist'. In making her absolutely despicable statements, we see the direction that a Hitlery presidency might take as the free press is shut down and websites such as the Drudge Report, Infowars and ANP 'banned' from the web. Knowing that, it's our job to continue to report the facts in hoping that hidden truths finally emerge to 'take down the beast'. In the videos below we're given several more reasons to make sure Hillary is nowhere near the White House come January of 2017 as we hear in the 1st video, according to US Army documents, Hillary Clinton is listed as an 'insider security threat' while in the 2nd video, we're told that Hillary has vowed to 'shut down the internet press' if elected into office. In the 3rd video below we hear that Colin Powell is ripping Hitlery and Bill to shreds for attempting to blame him for her email scandal while in the final video below, we're given proof that Hillary's closest 'aide' Huma Abedin is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, Saudi Arabia and a radical Muslim political ideology that Americans should never allow anywhere near the White House. If we think that Obama's been bad, it's clear we haven't seen anything yet.

Time to arrest and prosecute Hillary Clinton for deep corruption... Clinton Foundation a bribery and racketeering scheme of astonishing scale

Wednesday, August 24, 2016 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

(NaturalNews) It is now abundantly obvious that if America is to survive as a nation of law and order, Hillary Clinton must be arrested, indicted and prosecuted for her deep corruption and criminal racketeering. Furthermore, every individual still supporting Hillary Clinton for President needs to be rudely reminded that they are supporting an insidious globalist criminal who ferociously abuses her power by operating an illegal influence racket which surreptitiously funnels hundreds of millions of dollars through the Clinton Foundation. It is time to indict and arrest Hillary Clinton and end this sad, dark era of deep corruption, deception and criminality at the highest levels of our national government. From a bombshell Associated Press investigation published today: More than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money — either personally or through companies or groups — to the Clinton Foundation. The AP goes on to report, "the 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million" to the Clinton Foundation, after which Hillary Clinton deployed her influence as Secretary of State to "reward" those donors with huge government favors or approvals of their international moneymaking schemes. Some of those schemes included clear-cutting forests in Colombia. As described by Breitbart.com: ...[J]ust after Hillary and Bill Clinton spent an evening with the president of Colombia, the government of Colombia promptly granted exclusive approval to Prima Colombia Properties. That company was owned by longtime Clinton Foundation donor Frank Giustra, As Schweizer writes: Days after Hillary left Bogota, Prima Colombia Properties, which Frank Giustra has ownership interest in through a shell company called Flagship Industries, announced that it had acquired the right to cut timber in a biologically diverse forest on the pristine Colombian shoreline. Giustra has a long history with the Clintons, giving the foundation over $100 million and allowing Bill to use his plane some 26 times. Giustra allegedly used his connection with Bill to gain connections to the Kazakh government, benefitting his companies. Giustra was also a major shareholder in Uranium One, and his former partners allegedly benefited heavily from the relationship between Uranium One leadership and the Clintons when Hillary’s State Department looked the other way on Russia’s buy-up of the uranium company. Hillary Clinton's "pay to play" corruption ultimately served the interests of oil magnates, weapons development companies and open pit coal mining corporations. "It’s against federal law for charities to act in the interests of private business or individuals," reports the NY Post. "Yet the Clinton Foundation secured high-paying gigs for its namesakes and helped for-profit corporations with family ties set up lucrative deals." That same NY Post article adds: Recently, the foundation announced it would ban donations from corporations and foreign countries if Hillary is elected president. The question is: If it’s a conflict of interest when Hillary will be president, why wasn’t it a problem when she was secretary of state? If you want a "favor" from Hillary Clinton, you have to cough up millions of dollars first What every international business person running any sort of profiteering scheme knows today is that to get a meeting with the Secretary of State, you first have to donate huge dollars to the Clinton Foundation. It's classic "pay for play," and it's illegal. Flatly stated, Bill and Hillary Clinton are career criminals who have been running a grand scale criminal racketeering scheme to defraud America and peddle political influence to the highest bidder. Sometimes, the bribery money was given directly to Bill Clinton as "payment" for his "speeches." Soon after, Hillary would initiate some State Dept. action in favor of the organization that paid Bill $250,000 or more for his speech. Voila! It's political magic! By peddling their political influence while collecting money as either "donations" or "speeches," the Clintons have committed global political fraud and racketeering at an astonishing scale. And because of the extreme left-wing media which covers for all the crimes of all Democrats, they've continued to get away with it! Now, their extraordinary reign of corruption and criminality is finally coming to an end. It is time to end this Hillary Clinton bid for the presidency and put her behind bars where she belongs. The Presidency has already been SOLD OUT by crooked Hillary The $156 million paid to the Clinton Foundation by 85 donors was only the beginning of the racketeering and corruption, by the way. According to the Associated Press, another $170 million came from foreign donors. "Clinton met with representatives of at least 16 foreign governments that donated as much as $170 million to the Clinton charity, but they were not included in AP’s calculations because such meetings would presumably have been part of her diplomatic duties." In other words, what's really happening here is that the Clintons have collected hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes and payoffs while leveraging their positions of government influence to grant regulatory decisions, approvals and other favors to those who coughed up the most money. This is deep, criminal corruption at its worst. The hundreds of millions of dollars in "pay to play" donations to the Clinton Foundation means that Hillary Clinton has already pre-sold the White House to foreign interests. This means that if she is elected President, she will be prioritizing the globalist interests of her rich donors over the interests of Americans. Hillary isn't just willing to sell you out, she's already sold you out! The Clintons must be stopped We the People simply cannot allow this traitorous criminal to attain the highest political seat in the nation. She is a clear enemy of America and an international racketeering and money laundering mafia boss. The FBI -- if it has any loyalty to law and order whatsoever -- must go public with recommendations of charges of corruption against the Clintons. And all those left-wing media outlets and shameless celebrities pushing for Clinton should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for promoting such a lawless, traitorous criminal. Their support for Clinton just shows the absolute lawlessness and political criminality that infests the minds of many on the political left. Their slogan is "win at all costs," even if it means voting for a murdering criminal engaged in deep acts of political corruption.

Recognize that these people are extreme criminals. If they seize power yet again in Washington, it's over for not just America, but the entire independent media. (Many indy media journalists will quickly find themselves arrested and imprisoned by the Clinton regime, if not killed outright.) The answer to all this is, of course, Donald J. Trump. If you're fed up with the criminality and corruption of the Clintons, vote for Donald Trump and give America one last fighting chance against the globalist political cartels that are seeking the complete subversion and occupation of America.

Ronald Kessler, a former Washington Post and Wall Street Journal investigative reporter, is the New York Times bestselling author of The First Family Detail: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of the Presidents and The Secrets of the FBI. FBI agents' reports of interviews documenting that Hillary Clinton's stinging humiliation of her friend and mentor Vince Foster in front of White House aides triggered his suicide a week later are missing from where they should be filed at the National Archives, Daily Mail Online has learned exclusively. On two separate occasions, this author visited the National Archives and Records Service in College Park, Md., to review the reports generated by FBI agents assigned to investigate the 1993 death of Bill Clinton's deputy White House counsel. On the first visit, archivist David Paynter provided the box of records that he said contained the FBI reports of interviews conducted by FBI agents on Foster's death.

On a second visit, archivist James Mathis provided what he said were those same documents. While the box contained dozens of FBI reports concerning Foster's death - including interviews with the medical examiner, U.S. Park Police officers, and White House aides about the contents of Foster's office - the reports on Hillary Clinton's role in his death were absent. After filing a Freedom of Information request with the National Archives, Martha Murphy, the archives' public liaison, reported that she directed a senior archivist to conduct a more thorough review of the relevant FBI files, including those that had not been previously made public in response to FOIA requests. 'He examined all eight boxes but found no interviews by any investigator that detail either a meeting between Hillary Clinton and Vince Foster or the effects of a meeting between Hillary Clinton and Vince Foster on Vince Foster's state of mind,' Murphy reported in an email. 'We did not limit ourselves to interviews by the two individuals [FBI agents] you mention.' While Murphy said the archives searched for 'the records that would be responsive to your request' and concluded that they could not be found, when asked for comment, John Valceanu, the archives' director of communications and marketing, said, 'We do not agree with your conclusion that the records you requested are missing from the National Archives simply because we were unable to locate any responsive records in response to your request.' While confirming that the records could not be located, Valceanu held out the possibility that the FBI interviews were not filed where they should have been and were somewhere else in the more than 3,000 boxes of records amounting to 7.5 million pages generated by the Starr investigation. This is not the first time documents related to the Clintons have apparently vanished from the National Archive. In March 2009, the archives found that an external hard drive from the Bill Clinton White House containing confidential documents was missing. When it could not be located, the inspector general's office announced that it had opened a criminal investigation. Offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to recovery of the hard drive, the archives asked that tips be reported to the Secret Service. At the time, the archives said it had a backup drive. The FBI investigation into Foster's death was conducted for independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr's probe of the Clintons' investments in the Whitewater real estate development. For unknown reasons, Starr elected to conceal the FBI's findings in his final report. But in interviews for my book The First Family Detail: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of the Presidents, the FBI agents revealed the truth about Foster's death on July 20, 1993 when he shot himself at Fort Marcy Park along the Potomac River. In interviewing Clinton White House aides and Foster's friends and family, the FBI found that a week before Foster's death, Hillary held a meeting at the White House with Foster and other top aides to discuss her proposed health care legislation. Hillary angrily disagreed with a legal objection Foster raised at the meeting and ridiculed him in front of his peers, former FBI agent Coy Copeland and former FBI supervisory agent Jim Clemente told me. Copeland was Starr's senior investigator and read the reports of other agents working for Starr. During the White House meeting, Hillary continued to humiliate Foster mercilessly, according to both former FBI agents, who spoke about the investigation for the first time. 'Hillary put him down really, really bad in a pretty good-size meeting,' Copeland says. 'She told him he didn't get the picture, and he would always be a little hick town lawyer who was obviously not ready for the big time.' Indeed, Hillary went so far as to blame Foster for all the Clintons' problems and to accuse him of failing them, according to Clemente, who was also assigned by the FBI to the Starr investigation and who probed the circumstances surrounding Foster's suicide. 'Foster was profoundly depressed, but Hillary lambasting him was the final straw because she publicly embarrassed him in front of others,' says Clemente. 'Hillary blamed him for failed nominations, claimed he had not vetted them properly, and said in front of his White House colleagues, 'You're not protecting us' and 'You have failed us,' Clemente says. 'That was the final blow.' After the White House meeting, Foster's behavior changed dramatically, the FBI agents found. Those who knew him said his voice sounded strained, he became withdrawn and preoccupied, and his sense of humor vanished. At times, Foster teared up. He talked of feeling trapped. On Tuesday, July 13, 1993, while having dinner with his wife Lisa, Foster broke down and began to cry. He said he was considering resigning. Ken Starr (left) Starr issued a 38,000-word report, along with a separate psychologist's report on the factors that contributed to Foster's suicide. Yet Starr never mentioned the meeting with Hillary. Former FBI supervisory agent Jim Clemente (right) told Ron Kessler Hillary violently disagreed with a legal objection Foster raised at the meeting and ridiculed him in front of his peers That weekend, Foster and his wife drove to the Eastern Shore of Maryland, where they saw their friends, Michael Cardoza and Webster Hubbell, and their wives. 'They played tennis, they swam, and they said he sat in a lawn chair, just kind of sat there in the lawn chair,' Copeland says. 'They said that just was not Vince. He loved to play tennis, and he was always sociable, but he just sat over in the corner by himself and stared off into space, reading a book.' Two days later, Foster left the White House parking lot at 1:10 p.m. The precise time when he shot himself could not be pinpointed. After Park Police found his body, they notified the U.S. Secret Service at 8:30 p.m. Based on what 'dozens' of others who had contact with Foster after that meeting told the agents, while Foster was already depressed, 'The put-down that she gave him in that big meeting just pushed him over the edge,' Copeland says. 'It was the final straw that broke the camel's back.' No one can explain a suicide in rational terms. But the FBI investigation concluded that it was Hillary's vilification of Foster in front of other White House aides, coming on top of his depression, that triggered his suicide about a week later, Copeland and Clemente both say. Starr issued a 38,000-word report, along with a separate psychologist's report on the factors that contributed to Foster's suicide. Yet Starr never mentioned the meeting with Hillary, leaving out the fact that his own investigation had found that Hillary's rage had led to her friend's suicide. Why Starr chose not to reveal the critical meeting and his own investigators' findings remains a mystery. Asked why he excluded what led to Foster's suicide from his report, Starr did not respond. A spokesman for Hillary Clinton had no comment. Starr's report recounted how the FBI ran down even the most bizarre theories about Foster's death and conducted extensive ballistics tests that refuted assertions that Foster had not committed suicide.

Shocking Email: Hillary Asks NFL’s Roger Goodell For Help Treating ‘Cracked Head’

By Voice of Reason · Wednesday, August 24th, 2016

In the following video, you’ll learn that a new email has been leaked by WikiLeaks that reveals Hillary Clinton has openly admitted in writing to having a cracked head. Not only that, her aide also reached out to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for his advice on how to deal with her concussion. Of course, we all know that Roger Goodell’s concussion policy is “Lie About It and Keep Playing,” which Hillary likely took no issue with. She’s used to lying anyway. Liberty Writers reports: Her aide Philippe Reines messaged then Secretary Clinton: “And Speaking About Your Cracked Head, I reached Out to both NFL Commish (I remembered that his dad held your Senate seat) and Bill First. First responded wonderfully and is ready to help.” And that is when Hillary Clinton finally admitted to her horrible injury. She responded: “Having a Cracked Head is no fun at all.” Wiki So it is now very clear that Hillary Clinton has suffered from concussions as a result of her head injury. There is no other reason to contact the NFL Commissioner. (H/T – The Gateway Pundit). At her age, a concussion can absolutely be detrimental to your memory and health. Hillary may not want us to know about this, but the email tells the whole story. So now it is up to you, concerned Americans, to spread this news and not let Hillary and her media cronies bury it under 6 feet of puff pieces and anti-Trump propaganda. You may have heard about the following interview from earlier this week when Dr. Drew said he is very concerned about Hillary’s health. I covered it previously in a post titled, Dr. Drew Turns Whistleblower on Hillary Clinton's Failing health, and you can see it in its entirety below. The interview was originally aired on ABC, but like the good little liberals that they are over at ABC, the interview was taken down presumably in an attempt to try to protect their dog in the race. Thankfully, quite a few patriots grabbed it, and then reposted it before being taken down. During the interview, Dr. Drew went as far as to say that the former Secretary of State may be receiving inadequate health care that is far from optimal for her medical conditions. At one point, he compared the care that she is currently receiving (per the medial records that Hillary personally released), to what might have been provided to someone back in the 1950’s. Dr. Drew remarks that the treatment Hillary is getting is so strange, that he would be embarrassed to even ask her treating physician about it if they happened to be sitting together in a doctor’s lounge. Remember, the records were already made public by Hillary herself. Perhaps the most damning comment Dr. Drew makes, is when he refers to special “prism glasses” she had to wear for a time after her head injury in 2014. He explains that such glasses are a clear sign that BRAIN DAMAGE has occurred. Uh, ya think?

7.4-magnitude quake shakes southern Atlantic Ocean: USGS

AFP•August 19, 2016

Washington (AFP) - A 7.4-magnitude quake shook the southern Atlantic Ocean early Friday, the US Geological Survey said, with an epicenter 195 miles (316 kilometers) from islands hosting a British Antarctic research station. There was no immediate tsunami warning. The quake struck at 5:32 am local time (0732 GMT) at a depth of 10 kilometers. It was centered east-southeast of the British administered South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands.

Posted August 18, 2016

Are photos of the Martian surface actually showing us a message encoded in the patterns of hills and valleys? And is the similarity to the terrain of Bolivia more than coincidence? Timothy Alberino, writer/director of the new documentary True Legends: The UNholy See, presents these questions and the visual evidence for your consideration.

Scientists Reprogram Brain With a Beam of Light --"Human Brain is Plastic, Not Hardwired"

August 24, 2016

Neurons that fire together wire together, say scientists at Columbia University, suggesting that the three-pound computer in our heads may be more malleable than we think. Their findings suggest that groups of activated neurons may form the basic building blocks of learning and memory. “I always thought the brain was mostly hard-wired,” said the study’s senior author, Dr. Rafael Yuste, who is co-director of the Kavli Institute for Brain Science (KIBS). “But then I saw the results and said ‘Holy moly, this whole thing is plastic.’ We’re dealing with a plastic computer that’s constantly learning and changing.” The neuroscientists demonstrated that a set of neurons trained to fire in unison could be reactivated as much as a day later if just one neuron in the network was stimulated. The researchers were able to control and observe the brain of a living mouse using the optogenetic tools that have revolutionized neuroscience in the last decade. They injected the mouse with a virus containing light-sensitive proteins engineered to reach specific brain cells. Once inside a cell, the proteins allowed researchers to remotely activate the neuron with light, as if switching on a TV. In this photo of living mouse neurons, calcium imaging techniques were used to record the firing of individual neurons and their pulses of electricity. (Credit: Yuste Lab/Columbia University) The mouse was allowed to run freely on a treadmill while its head was held still under a microscope. With one laser, the researchers beamed light through its skull to stimulate a small group of cells in the visual cortex. With a second laser, they recorded rising levels of calcium in each neuron as it fired, thus imaging the activity of individual cells. Before optogenetics, scientists had to open the skull and implant electrodes into living tissue to stimulate neurons with electricity and measure their response. Even a mouse brain of 100 million neurons, nearly a thousandth the size of ours, was too dense to get a close look at groups of neurons. In the above video, neurons repeatedly stimulated with light are trained to work together. They can be reactivated as a group if just one neuron is stimulated as much as a day later. The experiments are detailed in a new study in the journal Science. (Credit: Yuste Lab/Columbia University) Optogenetics allowed researchers to get inside the brain non-invasively and control it far more precisely. In the last decade, researchers have restored sight and hearing to blind and deaf mice, and turned normal mice aggressive, all by manipulating specific brain regions. The breakthrough that allowed researchers to reprogram a cluster of cells in the brain is the culmination of more than a decade of work. With tissue samples from the mouse visual cortex, Yuste and his colleagues showed in a 2003 study in Nature that neurons coordinated their firing in small networks called neural ensembles. A year later, they demonstrated that the ensembles fired off in sequential patterns through time. As techniques for controlling and observing cells in living animals improved, they learned that these neural ensembles are active even without stimulation. They used this information to develop mathematical algorithms for finding neural ensembles in the visual cortex. They were then able to show, as they had in the tissue samples earlier, that neural ensembles in living animals also fire one after the other in sequential patterns. The current study in Science shows that these networks can be artificially implanted and replayed, says Yuste, much as the scent of a tea-soaked madeleine takes novelist Marcel Proust back to his memories of childhood. Pairing two-photon stimulation technology with two-photon calcium imaging allowed the researchers to document how individual cells responded to light stimulation. Though previous studies have targeted and recorded individual cells none have demonstrated that a bundle of neurons could be fired off together to imprint what they call a “neuronal microcircuit” in a live animal’s brain. “If you told me a year ago we could stimulate 20 neurons in a mouse brain of 100 million neurons and alter their behavior, I’d say no way,” said Yuste, who is also a member of the Data Science Institute. “It’s like reconfiguring three grains of sand at the beach.” The researchers think that the network of activated neurons they artificially created may have implanted an image completely unfamiliar to the mouse. They are now developing a behavioral study to try and prove this. “We think that these methods to read and write activity into the living brain will have a major impact in neuroscience and medicine,” said the study’s lead author, Luis Carrillo-Reid, a postdoctoral researcher at Columbia.

Scientists Create Life That Reads a New Language in the Letters of DNA

Redefining what cells understand when they interpret the genetic code.

By William Herkewitz Aug 18, 2016

Marc Lajoie is working on a new type of genetically engineered life: organisms that read a new language of DNA. That is, they have the same letters in their DNA—A,C,G, and T—but they read and interpret them in a totally different way. Today, Lajoie, a chemical biologist at the University of Washington, and a team of his colleagues published a paper the the journal Science detailing their pursuit. Lajoie explains how you'd build a "genomically recoded organism"—and why they'd be immune to every single virus on Earth. PM: What is a genomically recoded organism, or GRO? ML: Well, it's actually not too complicated, but we need to start with a bit of basic information first. Almost all life shares a common genetic code. This code is basically the language that cells use to read their DNA in order to translate their proteins, which are the molecular machines that perform most of life's functions. For example, the genetic sequence A – G – G means the same thing for almost all organisms, from your cells to a plant cell to a yeast cell. In this case, it's the instruction to add a specific molecule called arginine. "They have the same letters in their DNA—A,C,G, and T—but they read and interpret them in a totally different way." A genomically recoded organism is an organism that we have re-engineered to use a new language: One that sees the genetic sequence AGG as an entirely different instruction. Right now we're working toward building such a GRO based on bacterial cells. What's the benefit of changing that genetic language? We're currently focusing on three major applications. The first is virus resistance. When viruses infect a host cell, they essentially inject their genome and hijack the cell to create more viruses. But this only works if both the virus and the cell are speaking the same genetic language. Since GROs speak a different language, the virus's genetic instructions to replicate itself would be misread, and the virus couldn't complete its life cycle. The second is to introduce new biochemical capabilities that are not available in natural organisms. Almost all life shares a common genetic code, which explains how to translate genetic information into proteins. These proteins are composed of amino acids, and there are only 20 amino acids that are routinely used to make proteins. But there are plenty of unnatural amino acids that have useful chemical properties distinct from those 20. Thanks to great work done in a several other laboratories, we know of over 150 unnatural amino acids that we could use to expand protein function. People are already using these unnatural amino acids to make better drugs for treating disease. "There are only 20 amino acids routinely used to make proteins. But there are plenty of *unnatural* amino acids. Finally, the third application is bio-containment. Since these modified organisms may exhibit broad viral resistance, we want to make sure they can't escape into the world and mix with natural life. In addition to continuing to use our physical firewalls (keeping the organism inside of a laboratory, for example) we can also build genetic firewalls for GROs. To put it simply, we can redesign essential proteins so that the GRO can only survive if it has access to a certain unnatural amino acid that it won't find in the wild. How do you go about recoding life's genetic language in the first place? To understand how you'd recode an organism, you have to understand a bit about how life's shared genetic code works. Cells basically transcribe their genetic information in three-letter chunks, called codons. For example, the sequences ATG and TAG are codons. These three-letter codons are recognized by cellular machines called ribosomes, which basically match each codon with an amino acid building block. These codons can also tell a cell when to start or stop building more amino acids.

Anonymous Takes 9 Central Banks Offline — Unleashes Massive Assault on ‘Global Banking Cartel’

Published: August 22, 2016

Source: The Free Thought Project

After a global call to arms, the Anonymous campaign against the global banking industry, OpIcarus seems to be gaining major momentum, as eight more financial institutions have been taken down after the initial attack on the Central Bank of Greece – followed by a similar DDoS attack on the Central Bank of Cyprus. According to a video released in conjunction with OpIcarus, the attack on Bank of Greece marked the beginning of a “30-day campaign against central bank sites across the world.” This massive push, according to the video, aims to “strike at the heart of [the] empire by once again throw[ing] a wrench into the machine.” In some of the most recent attacks over the weekend, hackers reportedly targeted the Central Bank of the Dominican Republic, the Dutch Central Bank, the Central Bank of Maldives, and Guernsey Financial Services Commission, according to the official @OpIcarus Twitter account.

CHEMICAL WARFARE RED ALERT: Zika panic DEET chemical part of a brain damaging binary weapon being carpet bombed across America's cities

Sunday, August 21, 2016by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

(NaturalNews) With every ignorant news organization across America now pushing Americans to slather their skin with DEET chemicals as a defense against Zika mosquitoes, there's something every American needs to know: DEET is one chemical component of a binary chemical weapon system currently being carpet bombed onto U.S. civilian populations. That's an aggressive assertion, I fully realize. So in this article, I'm going to lay out the science for you that proves all this, citing published scientific studies, government research papers, historical accounts of military actions and molecular citations from the world's most authoritative sources on chemistry. As far as my own science background goes, I am the lab science director of CWC Labs, an internationally accredited, ISO-17025 accredited forensic food analysis laboratory. I personally run mass spec (LC/MS-TOF) systems with a special focus on pesticides, herbicides and chemical toxicology. In fact, I have just completed a science paper on the world's first LC/MS-TOF accurate quantitation and anti-counterfeit analysis method for cannabidiols in hemp extracts, and that paper is going to be published later this year at a science expo event. I'm also the author of the Amazon.com #1 bestselling science book Food Forensics. In other words, let there be no doubt whatsoever that I know what I'm talking about when it comes to the science I'm about to describe here. Nearly everyone who attacks this story, you will find, has no qualifications to even understand the science. DEET damages brain cells Getting back to DEET and Zika, the DEET chemical is actually N,N-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide. From a molecular science point of view, it looks like this (courtesy ChemSpider.com): Note the molecular formula of C12H17NO. This means it has a total of 12 carbon atoms, 17 hydrogen atoms, one nitrogen and one oxygen. (We often use molecular formulas as shorthand in chemistry. This tells you the elemental composition and ratios, but not the bonding configuration or polarity.) All by itself, the DEET chemical is known to cause damage to nerve cells. Let's explore that, because DEET is just one part of a binary chemical weapon system that is right now being deployed against the American people... a weapon system engineered to cause mass fear and confusion while even achieving a "behavior modifying" effect as you'll soon see. DEET damages brain cells by interfering with enzymatic reactions Ever wonder how DEET kills insects? It's an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, meaning it blocks the molecular action of acetylcholinesterase. Via this Natural News article: French scientists Vincent Corbel from the Institut de Recherche pour le Developement in Montpellier and Bruno Lapied from the University of Angers headed a team of researchers who studied the mode of action and toxicity of DEET, also known by the chemical name N,N-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide. "We've found that DEET is not simply a behavior-modifying chemical but also inhibits the activity of a key central nervous system enzyme, acetylcholinesterase, in both insects and mammals," Corbel said in a statement to the media. What exactly is acetylcholinesterase? "Acetylcholinesterase (AChE, acetycholine acetylhydrolase...) is found in many types of conducting tissue: nerve and muscle, central and peripheral tissues, motor and sensory fibers, and cholinergic and noncholinergic fibers," says this 2013 science paper in Current Neuropharmocology: "Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors: Pharmacology and Toxicology." Blocking AChE causes "disrupted neurotransmission" and other damaging effects to brain cells: "The enzyme inactivation, induced by various inhibitors, leads to acetylcholine accumulation, hyperstimulation of nicotinic and muscarinic receptors, and disrupted neurotransmission." According to that science paper, AChE inhibitors work similarly to carbamate and organophosphate pesticides -- two classes of chemicals routinely sprayed all over the national food supply -- meaning that people who slather their skin with DEET are poisoning themselves with brain-disrupting pesticide chemicals. Says the paper, "In medicine and agriculture, the word 'organophosphates' refers to a group of insecticides and nerve agents that inhibit AChE." These organophosphates "exert their main toxicological effects through non-reversible phosphorylation of esterases in the central nervous system," report the scientists. "The acute toxic effects are related to irreversible inactivation of AChE." In other words, some classes of AChE inhibitors can cause irreversible damage to the central nervous system. DEET inhibits nervous system function... that's how it kills DEET is an AChE inhibitor. As stated in this science paper entitled "Evidence for inhibition of cholinesterases in insect and mammalian nervous systems by the insect repellent deet": Despite the widespread and increased interest in the use of deet in public health programmes, controversies remain concerning both the identification of its target sites at the olfactory system and its mechanism of toxicity in insects, mammals and humans... ...[W]e show that deet is not simply a behaviour-modifying chemical but that it also inhibits cholinesterase activity, in both insect and mammalian neuronal preparations. Deet is commonly used in combination with insecticides and we show that deet has the capacity to strengthen the toxicity of carbamates, a class of insecticides known to block acetylcholinesterase. These findings question the safety of deet, particularly in combination with other chemicals... Now you are beginning to grasp the binary weapon of DEET + Carbamates (or OPs). Carbamates are common pesticides sprayed on food crops. They're also sprayed into the air by your local government as part of their ill-formed mosquito control programs they claim will stop Zika. DEET is one part of a binary chemical weapon (the other part is carbamate insecticides) I hope you're paying close attention to what I'm explaining here, because what the study mentioned above reveals is that DEET is part of a binary chemical weapon system that goes "ballistic" against your nerve cells when combined with certain classes of insecticides (such as carbamates and OPs). What are carbamate insecticides? They are a class of pesticide chemicals that are right now being sprayed on food crops all across America. Even worse, they're often used in aerial spraying campaigns in combination with DEET. In effect, this is a chemical binary weapon now being deployed against the American people. "Deet is commonly used in combination with insecticides and we show that deet has the capacity to strengthen the toxicity of carbamates, a class of insecticides known to block acetylcholinesterase," says the BioMedCentral science paper linked above. Adding to the concern, this warning from MDguidelines.com explains, "Over 80% of the pesticide poisonings in the US are caused by organophosphate and carbamate pesticides. These compounds inhibit acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme critical to the control of nerve impulse transmission from one cell to another. When the enzyme is inhibited, there is overstimulation and then paralysis of the secondary cell." According to this PDF document from the USGS, "The toxicity of OP and carbamate pesticides is due to the disruption of the nervous system of an invertebrate or a vertebrate through the inhibition of cholinesterase (ChE) enzymes. These enzymes are involved in transmitting normal nerve impulses throughout the nervous system. An acute pesticide dose reduces the activity of ChEs, and nerve impulses cannot be transmitted normally. This can paralyze the nervous system, and it may lead to death, usually from respiratory failure." That same report goes on to explain how "More than 100 avian species have been poisoned by these pesticides" and that "Raptors and other bird species become victims of secondary poisoning when they scavenge dead animals poisoned by pesticides or when they feed on live animals or invertebrates that are unable to escape predation because of pesticide intoxication." In other words, the carbamates make animals weak and confused, turning them into easy prey. Hmmm... can you think of any other targeted population an evil government might want to make weak and confused so that they can be easily controlled or exploited? Remember, to the government, We the People are nothing more than zoo animals living on tax farms, and they are more than happy to use chemical sprays to keep us all dumbed down and ignorant, just as former slave plantation owners refused to allow their slaves to learn to read. "Research by Duke University Medical Center pharmacologist Mohamed Abou-Donia, who has spent 30 years studying the effects of pesticides, found that prolonged exposure to DEET can impair functioning in parts of the brain and could result in problems with muscle coordination, muscle weakness, walking or even memory and cognition," reports Natural News. The binary weapon formula is DEET + Carbamates In summary, here's how the binary chemical weapon works: DEET + Carbamates = Extreme toxicity, weakness, confusion and loss of cognitive function. The DEET is now being purchased and deployed by obedient sheeple who stupidly think Zika viruses are going to eat their brains. The Carbamates and OPs are sprayed onto populations via aerial carpet bombing runs and agricultural chemical spraying. If you aren't eating a 100% organic diet, you are eating carbamates at every meal. These then combine with the DEET chemicals to cause mass mental confusion, weakness, memory loss, fear and neurotransmitter disruption. Combine this with endless propaganda from a complicit media run by globalists and this is how you end up with people voting for their own enslavement at the hands of tyrants. The following map, sourced from the USGS, shows the number of avian deaths recorded across U.S. states from OP and carbamate poisoning (from 1986 - 1995). Note how widespread the chemical spraying is? "Organophosphorus and carbamate compounds are used throughout the world as insecticides, herbicides, nematocides, acaricides, fungicides, rodenticides, avicides, and bird repellants," says the report. Agitation, confusion and death How exactly do AChE inhibitors cause so much damage to the nervous system? According to the same paper cited above: (bold added) The inhibition of the enzyme leads to accumulation of ACh in the synaptic cleft resulting in over-stimulation of nicotinic and muscarinic ACh receptors and impeded neurotransmission. The typical symptoms of acute poisoning are agitation, muscle weakness, muscle fasciculations, miosis, hypersalivation, sweating. Severe poisonings may cause respiratory failure, unconsciousness, confusion, convulsions and/or death. It almost sounds like a nerve gas chemical weapon, doesn't it? Not coincidentally, that notion is exactly right. These OP and carbamate pesticides ARE chemical weapons and if they were deployed as weapons, they would be illegal under United Nations treaties that prohibit weapons of mass destruction from being deployed against human populations. Chemically very similar to nerve agents such as VX Nerve Gas "Many of the toxic nerve agents used by the military are similar organophosphate compounds ," reports MD Guidelines. Here it gets even more stunning: According to this published science paper, organophosphorus compounds (OPs) make up most of the deadly nerve agents that have been deployed as chemical weapons by the world's governments. From the paper: Nerve agents of OP group include tabun, sarin, soman, cyclosarin and VX. Sarin, soman and cyclosarin are phosphonofluoridates, and VX is a phosphonothioate (Fig. 1313). Soman has four, while sarin and VX have two isoforms, which significantly differ in toxicity and irreversible AChE inactivation rate. Based on the acute toxicity, VX is the most toxic compound among all the nerve agents [67]. The developing and production of these extremely toxic nerve agents started in the 1930s, and later used in wars and by terrorists on several occasions. As chemical weapons, they are classified as weapons of mass destruction by the United Nations, and their production and stockpiling was outlawed by the Chemical Weapons Convention. And yet, even though these nerve agents are classified as chemical weapons, variations of nearly identical molecules are widely deployed as pesticides, often being sprayed in combination with DEET and other chemicals. Note carefully that "soman and cyclosarin are phosphonofluoridates," meaning they combine fluorine with organophosphates to create a hyper-toxic chemical that's deadly to brain cells. Here's what the cyclosarin nerve gas molecule looks like (courtesy of ChemSpider.com) Note the astonishing molecular similarity of this nerve gas agent to diisopropyl fluorophosphate, a commonly used pesticide: (SOURCE: ChemSpider). Molecular formula: C6H14FO3P See how they have a common structure centered around the phosphate element (P) with a double bonded oxygen (O)? Notice how they both have an attach fluorine atom, which creates an extremely aggressive molecule that can bond with (and therefore ravage) other biological molecules including brain cells? (Fluorine is also found in many psychoactive drugs such as SSRIs.) "Commonly used OP insecticides have included ethyl parathion, malathion, methyl parathion, chlorpyrifos, diazinon, dichlorvos, phosmet, fenitrothion, tetrachlorvinphos, azinphos methyl, pirimiphos-methyl, dimethoate, phosalone," says the Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors paper cited elsewhere in this article. Many of these insecticides, you may recall, are routinely carpet bombed onto America's cities under the justification of eliminating various flies, mosquitoes or agricultural pests. Malathion, for example, is routinely sprayed on civilian populations. Weaponized Zika was used by the U.S. military to attack communists As you take in all this information -- none of which you'll ever see on CNN, Fox News, the NY Times or the Washington Post because all of those organizations are run by quack pseudo-journalists and scientifically illiterate morons -- keep in mind that Zika virus was weaponized and deployed against communist targets by the U.S. military. Via The Free Thought Project: At Fort Detrick, the military’s biological weapons base in Maryland, in great secret, Army scientists were considering how fleas, grasshoppers, and mosquitoes might be deployed against the Communist threat. These insects were harder to protect against than gas -- masks wouldn’t help. The threat they posed would last, as long as a population of insects remained alive. Plus, it would be very difficult to pin an insect-borne attack on the U.S. Among these possible insect soldiers, A. aegypti was “the golden child,” writes Jeffrey A. Lockwood, in Six-Legged Soldiers, because the disease it carried, yellow fever was so terrible. The Army Chemical Corps, in a 1959 report, notes that yellow fever is “highly dangerous” and that “since 1900, one-third of patients have died.” There were parts of the Soviet Union that had never been exposed to the disease, which made them vulnerable, but which had the right climate to support mosquitoes. The Chemical Corps started to experiment with how a brigade of A. aegypti might be deployed and what sort of damage they might do. They would load hundreds of thousands of mosquitoes into planes and, later, helicopters, then drop them over the field and see how far they could spread. The mosquitoes apparently performed well enough: By 1960, the Chemical Corps was producing 500,000 A. aegypti every month, rearing them on sugar water and blood and letting them lay their eggs on paper towels. Scientists had found they could infect a new generation of mosquitoes with yellow fever by mixing the virus in the solution in which the mosquito eggs grew. Hundreds of thousands of mosquitoes were not enough to start a real epidemic, though. The corps proposed constructing a facility in Arkansas that could produce 100 million A. aegypti mosquitoes each week. Are you grasping all this yet? FOLLOW THE MONEY: Who benefits from a Zika outbreak and the mass chemical spraying of Americans So the U.S. government breeds infected mosquitoes and drops them on population centers as a weapon. This isn't a conspiracy theory, it's U.S. history. Now consider the question of who benefits from a Zika outbreak. Thanks to Zika, Obama has already funneled billions of dollars into vaccine companies. He also managed to redirect hundreds of millions of dollars in Zika research money to a United Nations climate change slush fund. (Hint: Obama plans to run the United Nations after ending his U.S. presidency.) At the same time, DEET sales are exploding across America while local governments are carpet bombing cities like Miami with brain-damaging insecticide chemicals. The DEET, as we've documented here, contains AChE inhibitors that block brain function and cause memory loss, irritation and confusion among the voting population. (Nobody can remember all the campaign promises Obama made and then failed to deliver, see?) It's all just in time for the riots and elections, isn't it? The more people coat their skin with DEET and then get exposed to carbamates or OPs which are being sprayed on U.S. cities, the more confused Americans become, making them even more susceptible to the outrageous lies of the mainstream media that's trying to get a racketeering criminal traitor elected to the White House. In effect, the criminal government is already in the process of deploying binary chemical weapons against the voting population as a form of chemical cognitive engineering. The goal is to cause widespread fear, confusion, memory loss and cognitive weakness. This is all being done for the simple, obvious reason that if all the human minds across America were allowed to wake up and notice what's really happening, the criminal class of government liars and crooks would find themselves swinging by their necks from trees. Thus, keeping the masses dumbed down and chemically brain damaged is a necessary strategy for the corrupt political class to remain in power. This is the biggest political science story in American history, yet there isn't a single news organization reporting it. Ever wonder why? DEET, fluoride, SSRIs, lead in the water and mercury vaccines... what do they all have in common? Now I ask you: What do all these things have in common? Consider the common biochemical actions of DEET, fluoride, SSRI drugs, lead in the water and mercury in the flu shots (yes, vaccines still contain huge concentrations of mercury... over 50,000 ppb in my lab tests, which is over 25,000 times the maximum EPA limit of mercury in drinking water). The answer is: THEY ALL DAMAGE BRAINS and inhibit cognitive function. What you are observing here, if you still have the cognitive capacity to understand it, is a deliberate, coordinated, multi-vector chemical assault on your ability to think clearly. This is a whole new kind of warfare against the commoners (the sheeple). The deliberate dumbing down you're being subjected to isn't just an info-propaganda campaign launched by CNN and the NY Times. There is a very real, very deliberate chemical warfare component to all this. Yes, the U.S. government is currently waging covert chemical warfare on the American people. They are doing it using binary chemical weapons, in violation of international treaties against the use of weapons of mass destruction. And they are doing it to deliberately cause mass fear, confusion, memory loss and cognitive impairment. Every media story you see that urges you to slather on the DEET is unknowingly participating in this binary weapons deployment. Don't blame your local news person for this; they are too stupid, incompetent and scientifically illiterate to know anything that's really happening in the world around them (that's why they have to read teleprompter scripts written by someone else... they can't even think for themselves anymore). Now you know the real story on Zika and DEET and why they're being pushed so aggressively by the same subversive media that's desperately trying to overthrow democracy and install a totalitarian criminal in the White House. This is all connected. The timing of the Zika release is not a coincidence. THIS IS ALL OUT WAR AGAINST AMERICA. And it's not just a propaganda war. It's a chemical war, and you have already been targeted for intoxication to make sure you never achieve the presence of mind to vote for anti-establishment candidates like Donald Trump who threaten to overthrow the corrupt, criminal government.

With Christianity in Decline, Britain Sees Rise of Humanist ‘Pastors’

By Kevin McCandless | August 24, 2016 | 12:08 AM EDT

(Edited to make clear that the BHA does not itself refer to the pastoral support chaplains as “pastors” or provide formal counselling.)

London (CNSNews.com) – With participation in traditional faiths at near-record lows, Britain is seeing the rise of humanist chaplains providing “pastoral” support for the non-religious. Last month the University of Westminster in London broke new ground by appointing its first official secular advisor for students. The move followed efforts by the British Humanist Association since 2014 to train more than 100 volunteers to go into schools, hospitals and prisons in order to provide support for those who don’t believe in a deity. Early this year hospitals run by Britain’s National Health Service (NSA) in Leicester also saw their first humanist appointed to the local chaplaincy team. NSA England Chaplaincy Guidelines published in 2015 obligate medical trusts in England to provide pastoral support on an equal basis to those who are atheists as well as the religious. This month, the landmark British Social Attitudes Survey showed that decline in religious belief in Britain has plateaued out but is still near its historic low point. The survey, which has been run since 1983 and surveys roughly 3,000 British residents on a range of social-related issues, said that that 48 percent reported having “no religion.” Ian Simpson, a senior researcher at NatCen, the social research firm that runs the survey, said that if anything this showed a small rebound for Christianity and other religions in the United Kingdom. “The proportion of people saying they have no religion peaked at 51 percent in 2009 and has plateaued since then,” he said. “It appears that the steady decline of religion in Britain has come to a halt, at least for now.” In the first year of the survey, only 31 percent of respondents described themselves as non-religious. With nearly half of the population now describing themselves as not having a belief in God or gods, the British Humanist Association (BHA) says those people need a “listening ear” during difficult times in their lives, much in the same way that the religious have. “Religious chaplains work to support people at some of life’s most trying times, or in moments of emotional difficulty or moral uncertainty,” said BHA chief executive Andrew Copson. “For a very long time, non-religious people haven’t been able to benefit in that same way from having a non-judgmental person to speak to who shares their outlook on the world.” The association said it has also trained and accredited more than 300 people in England, Wales and Northern Ireland to lead humanist-themed ceremonies for occasions such as weddings and funerals. Simon O’Donoghue, head of pastoral support for the BHA, said that secular advisers in a campus setting would perform duties that were similar to reliigious chaplains but also act as a “non-religious ethical reference point.” First-year students who were going through a difficult time adjusting to life at school but who were not comfortable talking to a chaplain could talk through their troubles with a secular adviser. In a hospital setting, a patient facing a difficult operation would be able to talk to someone who shared their beliefs before going through with it, he said. O’Donoghue said the association was keen to ensure that volunteers are there to provide one more option for people and would not be proselytizing for humanism. During an initial two-day training course, potential humanist pastoral support volunteers are screened for such a tendency and monitored afterwards, he said. “We’re really going to extreme lengths to make sure that people going on the course don’t have an agenda for that sort of thing.” O’Donoghue said the idea is to compliment religious chaplains in any setting, not to replace them. Ultimately, he said, the goal of the association is for Britain to emulate the Netherlands, where all institutions have a full range of faith and belief providers. “It really is about choice,” he said. “And the best way is to work alongside religious people.”

Makarem-Shirazi thanks Pope for his stance on Islam

Politics August 20, 2016

TEHRAN – A senior Iranian religious scholar on Saturday wrote to Pope Francis, the current Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, thanking him for his recent remarks that Islam is free of violence. In his letter, Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi also stressed that it is necessary for religious leaders to adopt clear stances when it comes to accusing religions of violence, the ayatollah’s website reported.

Christians as "Target Practice"

Muslim Persecution of Christians: May 2016

by Raymond Ibrahim August 28, 2016 at 6:00 am

"We will show the Armenians and the Christians who we are... We have been ordered not to leave any Armenians in the area." — Islamic rebels, Aleppo, Syria. Thousands of Christians are fleeing Eritrea due to extreme persecution. A report describes Eritrea as "one of the world's fastest emptying nations" and the "North Korea of Africa." The majority of the 40,000 who fled to Italy last year are Christians. "The government of Iran continues to engage in systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom, including prolonged detention, torture, and executions based primarily or entirely upon the religion of the accused." — Report by the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom. A new study claims that as many as 40,000 Christians -- including Muslims who wish to convert to Christianity -- are being attacked and harassed by Muslims in migrant homes. According to the report, "Now in European asylum homes they are finding more and more that they are in as much danger from radical Muslims in Europe as they were in their home countries." More reports of the brutal treatment that Christians and other minorities experienced at the hands of the Islamic State (SIS) emerged during May. One account told of a couple who, after their children were abducted by ISIS militants, answered their door one day to find a plastic bag on their doorstep. It contained the body parts of their daughters and a video of them being brutally tortured and raped. Another Christian mother from Mosul answered the door to find ISIS jihadis demanding that she leave or pay the jizya (protection money demanded as a tribute by conquered Christians and Jews, according to the Koran 9:29). The woman asked for a few seconds, because her daughter was in the shower, but the jihadis refused to give her the time. They set a fire to the house; her daughter was burned alive. The girl died in her mother's arms; her last words were "Forgive them." The Islamic State reportedly beheaded another Christian leader on February 18. No media reported it, except for one Italian paper in May: "There are reliable reports are that Father Yacob Boulos, was beheaded by the terror group' militants after he prayed on the altar of his church. He was punished for his faith." According to another report, "In yet another disturbing example of the genocide facing Christians and other religious minorities in the Middle East, on 12-13 May a group from Islamic State (IS) entered a town near the city of Hama in Syria, populated only by Christians and Alawites, killing an as yet unspecified number of men, women and children. Men were beheaded, whilst women were raped and then murdered. Many children were also killed. It is not yet clear exactly how many people have been killed." A local Christian leader said, "Where are the leaders of the West, Ban Ki-Moon (Secretary-General of the United Nations), the EU, WHO (World Health Organization), and other Christian organisations? How long will my nation tolerate and stay. We don't hold arms and weapons, but we are melting like a candle! Is it possible for our voice to reach to all others?" Father Douglas Bazi, an Iraqi priest, who was kidnapped by ISIS in 2006 but later escaped, recounted his experiences as a captive: "They destroyed my car, they blew up my church on [sic] front of me. I got shot by AK-47 in my leg. The bullet is still in my leg. And I [have] been kidnapped for nine days. They smash my nose and my teeth by hammer. And they broke one of my back discs." He was released after his church paid for his ransom, but eventually had to flee the region after continued persecution by ISIS. "To be Christian in Iraq, it's an impossible mission," said Father Bazi, adding, "But even so, I'm not actually surprised when they attack my people. I'm surprised how my people are still existing. Please talk about our stories. Let the world know what happens to us." The rest of May's roundup of Muslim persecution of Christians around the world includes, but is not limited to, the following: More Muslim Slaughter of Christians Uganda: A Christian pastor was poisoned to death by a Muslim. Micah Byamukama, 61, pastor of a Baptist Church, died on May 15, after ingesting an insecticide that a Muslim, Ahmed Mupere, had put into his food. Mupere is believed to have been upset that the pastor challenged his belief in jinn, supernatural creatures attested to in Islamic literature, including the Koran. "The true God is the God of the Lord Jesus Christ, who conquered the power of Satan including the Islamic Jinn... the Islamic Jinn are acts of Satan and should be denounced," the pastor had apparently said. Soon, unidentified persons believed to have been hired by Ahmed attacked and wounded the pastor with knives. Five days after the knife attack, Mupere, pretending not to be angry, came to visit the pastor, a widower with no children. According to the report, "Feigning reconciliation as he dined with the pastor from a shared dish, Ahmed secretly put poison on the food and stopped eating as Pastor Byamukama continued." Shortly thereafter, the Christian man began having stomach pains, was rushed to the hospital and was soon declared dead. Earlier, the pastor had told his neighbor, "Ahmed took a little food with me and then stopped. When I asked him why not continue with the food, he said he had eaten at his home, and that he wanted [to] go back home because it was getting late." A nurse said he died from ingesting a highly toxic insecticide. Once investigations began, Mupere fled. The incident is the latest in a series of attacks, including other poisonings, by Muslims against Christians in eastern Uganda. Separately in Uganda, a Muslim man strangled his wife to death for leaving Islam and converting to Christianity. Awali Kakaire, 34, began to suspect that his wife Mariam Nakiriya, 30, was a Christian a month earlier, when the local imam asked him why his wife and children had not been attending the mosque or madrassa (Islamic school). According to one of Kakaire's sons: "Our father questioned us why we have stopped attending the madrassa, but we told him that we were busy with school work as our mother had instructed us This made my father to cool down his tempers." Then, on May 8, Kakaire awoke at 6 a.m., and after his Islamic cleansing ritual, woke his wife to join him in morning Islamic prayers: "Our mother refused, and our father started strangling her as she cried for help," his son said. After killing her, Kakaire left the house only to return two hours later and force his five children, ages 5 to 12, into a hole he had dug in a nearby garden. "We resisted and began screaming, and neighbors arrived immediately, but he had already dumped us into the hole that he had dug. Seeing the neighbors, he tried to flee but he was overtaken and then began to be questioned by those who surrounded him." Kakaire was heard shouting "My family has no respect for Islam." Thanks to some Muslim accomplices, Kakaire managed to escape the murder scene. Syria: Up to 200 Christians were reportedly killed during sustained bombardments of the city of Aleppo. Between April 22 and April 30, approximately 1,350 rockets hit the Christian region. The attack killed 132 people, half of them women and children. Another 65 were killed on May 3, and hundreds more injured. Islamic rebels had earlier, on April 22, issued a direct threat against Aleppo's large community of Armenian Christians, and warned, "We will show the Armenians and the Christians who we are... We have been ordered not to leave any Armenians in the area." Bangladesh: "Fighters from the Islamic State assassinated a doctor who called to Christianity in Kushtia, western Bangladesh," ISIS announced in a brief statement issued in Arabic. Doctor Sanaur Rahman, 58, was riding home on his motorcycle along with his friend when they were attacked by machete-wielding terrorists. Rahman was hacked to death, while Zaman was critically wounded in the attack. The doctor was popular in his village because he used to treat and offer medicine to poor people free of charge and ran a free clinic on Fridays. Congo: Muslim terrorists killed scores of villagers in the east of the Christian-majority nation. The attackers carried machetes and axes into a village in North Kivu province during the evening of May 3. According to the local administrator, "the enemy managed to get past army positions and kill peaceful residents in their homes, slashing their throats. The 16 bodies are in front of me, killed by machete or axe." Another source said that as many as 38 were slaughtered, including two Evangelical Christian leaders and their wives. According to the report, The MDI [Muslim Defensive International] has repeatedly attacked the majority-Christian population in eastern DRC for years. Kidnapping and murder are common. It is alleged to have support from the Islamic government of Sudan... The MDI is known to have attracted foreign recruits and to have forced Christians to convert to Islam. The local population in the related area is overwhelmingly Christian (95.8%) and the impact on them has been immense. In a letter released a year ago, Congolese Bishops denounced a "climate of genocide" and the passivity of the Congolese government and the international community: "Does the situation have to deteriorate even more before the international community takes measures against jihadism?" asked the Bishops in May 2015. Philippines: Islamic jihadis attacked the "Crusaders" of the Catholic-majority nation. The recently-established ISIS branch in the Philippines claimed responsibility for a terror attack on a military position on Basilan Island. The attack killed one soldier and injured another. Basilan Island has long been a stronghold of local Muslim terror organizations that aim to topple the government and establish a Sharia-compliant government. Muslim Rape and Humiliation of Christian Women Bangladesh: A 26-year-old Catholic high school teacher was raped on May 12 by her Muslim principal and his friend, Shariful Islam. Afterwards, they threatened to post the video of the rape on Facebook, if she reported them. According to parish priest Fr. Domenic K. Halder, "The girl is very frightened. We pray for her, she is still in hospital." Hundreds of Christians also protested in the streets of Dhaka and demanded justice. Egypt: On May 20, a 70-year-old Christian woman was stripped naked, savagely beaten, spat upon, and paraded in the streets of Minya to jeers, whistles, and yells of "Allahu Akbar," after a mob of some 300 Muslim men descended on her home. Her crime was that her son was accused of having a romantic relationship with a Muslim woman, an intimacy that is banned under Islamic law, Sharia. It is the same body of teachings that prescribes collective punishment to non-Muslim "infidels." Seven Christian homes were also torched during the attack. Earlier that day her husband and she had gone to local police and complained that they were being harassed and threatened by neighborhood Muslims. The police responded by also threatening and ordering them out of the station. A few hours later, the attack occurred. It took the same local police over two hours to appear, giving the mob "ample time," as one Christian clergyman put it, to riot. Minya's most senior Christian cleric, Bishop Makarios, said during a televised interview concerning 70-year-old woman's ordeal, that if a Muslim man were pursuing a Christian woman, the police response "would not have been anything like what happened.... No one did anything and the police took no preemptive or security measures in anticipation of the attacks." Uganda: After a 22-year-old Christian woman accused a mosque leader of murdering her father earlier in the year, local Muslims responded by beating and raping her. The woman, whose name was withheld, said she was beaten and raped on April 19 for telling a court what she had witnessed. She was found unconscious in a pool of blood, with cuts on her body. One of the three Muslims who assaulted her told her, "We shall kill you today because you are the one who made our sheikh to be imprisoned." According to the woman, speaking from a hospital bed, "I was able to identify the sheikh because we are neighbors, and my father had been questioning him about the Islamic faith not leading one to salvation with God. The sheikh had said to him, 'You have no respect of our religion, and we have come for your life today.' They started strangling my father as well as hitting him on the head with a big stick. When my father fell down, I managed to escape through the window." Muslim Attacks on Christian Churches Tanzania: Another church was burned to the ground. The Roman Catholic church in the Kagera region is the third church in four months to be burned down in the nation. According to a local pastor, "Since 2013 we have had over 13 churches torched here in Kagera and no-one has been held accountable. This is not acceptable." Fortunatus Bijura, a priest at the church, said: "Those who think that destroying our church means we won't pray, they are wrong ... We have a big tree near the church and will continue meeting there for prayers." Tanzania is approximately 35% Muslim. Pakistan: The government announced its plans to demolish four historic churches in order to make way for the construction of a metro train. On May 3, Christians gathered in front of the Lahore High Court to protest the decision. "These churches were built pre-Pakistan and these all [sic] churches are located at very expensive and prime locations which politicians and Islamists are jealous of," said Nasir Saeed, director of the Center for Legal Aid. "They cannot stand that Christians have such prime property and ... so try to use any excuse to grab the land and belittle Christians." While the community is still mourning their loved ones who perished during the Easter Sunday attack on Christians that left 69 dead and more than 340 injured, Saeed said they now face a new threat to their churches: "There is no respite for them and one problem after the other seems to follow Pakistani Christians," he said. Muslim Attacks on Christian Apostates, Blasphemers and Preachers Pakistan: A fatwa, or Islamic decree, was issued against a Christian after Muslims accused him of watching an anti-Islamic video on his phone. Imran Masih was last reported on the run after a $10,000 bounty was put on his head. As a form of collective punishment, fellow Christians in his village were prevented from buying food from Muslim shopkeepers and given three options: "convert to Islam, leave the village forever, or hand over Imran so he can be burnt alive." Speaking of this incident, a Pakistani human rights activist said, I cannot believe that such things are still happening in this world. Such treatment towards Pakistani Christians is a slap on the face of the Punjab and central government, and to all those who never tire of telling the world that minorities are protected and enjoying equal rights in the country. I don't understand how watching a video on the internet can be criminalised as an act of blasphemy.... I believe this is not an act of blasphemy and if people still think Imran has committed blasphemy then he should be punished according to the law. No one has any right to take the law into their own hands, harass local Christians, threaten them, burn Imran alive or force Christians to convert to Islam or leave the village. Such conditions from lay people make a mockery of the law. The Government of Pakistan must take this matter seriously, provide protection to the local Christians, and those who are breaking the law should be dealt according to the law. Separately in Pakistan, police arrested a Christian man in Punjab province for allegedly posting messages on his Facebook account that were considered blasphemous by Muslims. According to Liaquat Usman's wife, "My husband stopped some [Muslim] boys from teasing girl students. A couple of days ago the boys manhandled Usman. Instead of arresting the boys, police arrested Usman saying a complaint against him has been lodged for committing blasphemy." Initial investigations showed that the "blasphemous" messages were posted on Usman's Facebook account a year earlier, and that someone else living abroad tagged them on his account. Germany: A new report claimed that as many as 40,000 Christians -- including Muslims who wish to convert to Christianity -- are being attacked and harassed by Muslims in migrant homes. According to the report, Many converts [to Christianity] wished to do so in their homelands, but in places like Iran and Afghanistan the penalty for leaving the Islamic religion can be death and so they fled to Europe. Now in European asylum homes they are finding more and more that they are in as much danger from radical Muslims in Europe as they were in their home countries. The most prevalent form of abuse was verbal insults with 96 people saying that had received abuse or threats. Eighty-six said they had been physically assaulted and 73 said they had been subjected to death threats against themselves and family members. Three quarters of the migrants also said they had been victims of multiple attacks. The perpetrators of most of the attacks were fellow migrants who look down on converts and believe them to be apostates. Perhaps, more interestingly was the prevalence of Muslim security guards who participated in the attacks. Almost half of those surveyed said they had received abuse from security guards and in the German capital of Berlin the figure rose to two-thirds. Azerbaijan: Christian activists called attention to the plight of a frail Christian evangelist from Azerbaijan who has spent a year behind bars in neighboring Georgia on what his supporters say are "trumped-up charges" for the possession of drugs. If convicted, the man could face 14 years imprisonment. The Azeri evangelist says he has been framed by people who are angry about his evangelism work among Muslims. Local sources said "His health is very bad and he needs urgent help -- medical, spiritual and materially." Fears also exist that the man will not be able to return safely to predominantly Muslim Azerbaijan after an eventual release from prison. According to a human rights organization, Officially, the country is secular and religion is tolerated. However, the level of surveillance is so incredibly high that Christians in Azerbaijan do not know whom to trust anymore. Persecution of Christians has gone up markedly since last year due to ever-increasing government controls," added Open Doors. Another sign of the government pressure is the fact that Azeri Christians find it easier to evangelize in countries like Georgia and Iran than in their own country. Muslim Hate for and Violence against Christians Syria: The Islamic State released an online video on May 16, showing an ISIS fighter desecrating the graves of Christians and showing off the damage that was done to the Christian cemetery. The video was allegedly filmed in the city of Deir ez-Zor. The ISIS militant is shown touring the cemetery, showing shards of stone and wood, while in the background are destroyed headstones and corpses of Syrian soldiers -- some torn to pieces -- who apparently tried to stop the desecration. Eritrea: Thousands of Christians are fleeing the nation due to extreme persecution, according to a report which describes Eritrea as "one of the world's fastest emptying nations" and the "North Korea of Africa." The majority of the 40,000 who fled to Italy last year are Christians. The report added that "all evangelical and independent churches have been closed." Dawit, who was among hundreds of Christians jailed and tortured for his faith, said: "There is no law and no justice. When I was living in Eritrea I was arrested because of my Christian faith. That's why I left. In Eritrea almost every Christian faces imprisonment. That's why I was in prison." Berhane, another Christian who managed to escape said: "We believe there are over 300 Christian prisoners at the moment. Most of them have been in prison for over ten years and they are suffering for lack of food and proper hygiene and proper medical care and even some of them have lost their lives." Turkey: United States ally and NATO member Turkey is aiding and abetting the Islamic State and other terrorist groups in Syria that kill Christians, by providing them with aerial cover and "safe haven," said Mindy Belz, an activist and senior editor of WORLD magazine: We have to have a new approach to our ally, Turkey. Turkey is a country that is in transition and is becoming more and more radicalized. There is strong evidence, as I interviewed people at the border who had escaped to Lebanon. I sat down with them in Beirut. They were up at the border when Turkey shot down the Syrian jet that crossed the border [in 2015]. ... The people who witnessed it said, "Turkey is providing air cover for these Islamic militant groups".... There has been strong evidence that they have provided air cover and provided safe haven at their borders for ISIS...They have aided and abetted extremist groups, not only ISIS but Al-Nusra Front and some of the others. These are groups that are killing Christians and America ought to not tolerate allies that support groups that kill Christians. Iran: Despite the nuclear deal made with the Obama administration, the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom has found that religious minorities in Iran, including Christians, continue experiencing severe human rights abuses. The report, released only a couple of months shy of the one-year anniversary of the nuclear deal reached in July 2015, found that religious freedom conditions "continued to deteriorate" over the past year, with Christians, Baha'is, and the minority Sunni Muslims facing the most persecution at the form of harassment, arrests, and imprisonment. Under President Hassan Rouhani's administration, the number of religious-based arrests has increased, despite Iran's continuous denial that it is violating people's human and religious freedom rights. The report states: "The government of Iran continues to engage in systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom, including prolonged detention, torture, and executions based primarily or entirely upon the religion of the accused." The report notes that as many as 550 Christians have been arrested and detained since 2015, and at least 90 Christians remain in prison or detention as of February due to their religious beliefs and activities: "During the reporting period, human rights groups inside Iran reported a significant increase in the number of physical assaults and beatings of Christians in prison. Some activists believe the assaults, which have been directed against converts who are leaders of underground house churches, are meant to intimidate others who may wish to convert to Christianity." A report from May indicate that one Christian prisoner in Iran, Maryam (Nasim) Naghash Zargaran, who earlier underwent heart surgery, is suffering from illnesses, including nausea, ear pain, and chronic pain in her joints and spinal cord, which were diagnosed as caused by lumbar disk, arthritis, and osteoporosis. Regardless, prison officials have refused to transfer her to a hospital to receive proper medical care. Mrs. Zargaran was initially summoned to an Iranian intelligence office for interrogation in March of 2011. Interrogators constantly threatened her and her family, insulted her and questioned her Christian activities. Pakistan: According to Sardar Mushtaq Gill and fellow attorneys who represent the family of the Christian couple burned alive by a mob for allegedly desecrating a Koran, "Witnesses and lawyers are [being] threatened.... There are many concerns about the possible impunity for the perpetrators." Because witness have refused to recognize those most responsible for the killing of the Christian couple, they have already been released on bail. "There are 106 detainees accused of this lynching and if the trial continues in this direction, it seems that everyone will be freed." Nigeria: Gunmen shot at a car carrying Roman Catholic Cardinal John Onaiyekan in the country's southern Edo state. The attack on the cardinal comes amid increasing violence and kidnappings of Christian clergy by Muslims for ransom. Three other Christian leaders were kidnapped for ransom within the same year. The decomposing body of a cleric kidnapped in a Muslim-majority region was found last April. A separate report tells of the day-to-day sufferings of Christians living alongside Muslims in Nigeria: For Bishop Matthew Kukah, persecution is not just the history of the Church. It's a reality that he lives every day. In the diocese of Sokoto, located in northern Nigeria, ministry includes not only the normal sacramental and pastoral concerns of any other diocese. It also includes regularly responding to violence and attacks against the small Christian minority living in the majority-Muslim area. Christians living in northern Nigeria today wonder "why have they and their institutions become target practice," explained Bishop Kukah told CNA. Christian churches and businesses – as well as the people who frequent them – suffer both targeted violence at the hands of Islamist extremists... And after the attacks, Christian communities face a wall of bureaucratic challenges and lack of government support as they struggle to rebuild.... While some targets of violence find government and societal aid in rebuilding and accessing services such as schools and hospitals, the state in northern Nigeria merely "looks on" as Christian churches and institutions struggle to rebuild. "[Y]ou live in a state that is less than you expect as a citizen," said Bishop Kukah. "You don't know what to expect tomorrow. ... Christians suffer disproportionate violence from Muslim extremists. ... Our churches are being bombed with no compensation paid for the schools or other properties of the Church." Bangladesh: Unidentified attackers hurled crude bombs at the home of a Christian family and left two Christians injured. The attack occurred just after midnight in a mainly Christian hamlet in the western Chuadanga area. Police suspected "attempted robbery" as the motive. But the report notes: "the attack comes amid a string of murders of Christians, Hindus and members of other religious minorities across the country by suspected militants, as Bangladesh reels from rising Islamist violence... Suspected Islamists have murdered at least 30 members of religious minorities, secular bloggers and other liberal activists, foreigners and intellectuals in Bangladesh in the past three years." About this Series While not all, or even most, Muslims are involved, persecution of Christians by Muslims is growing. The report posits that such Muslim persecution is not random but rather systematic, and takes place in all languages, ethnicities, and locations.

Iran isn't giving up on Latin America

Posted on August 25, 2016 by Ben Cohen / JNS.org and filed under Opinion, Israel, World.

By Ben Cohen/JNS.org

Still flushed with the success, for the Iranians anyway, of the 2015 nuclear deal reached with the United States and other powers, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif this week embarked on a five-nation tour of Latin America to spread the message that Tehran's global influence is on the up. Zarif is one of those Iranian leaders eagerly embraced as a "moderate" by the Obama Administration. Like other Iranian officials of his rank, Zarif's room for maneuver is strictly regulated by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader. Still, the notion that he represents a genuinely reformist faction within the Islamic Republic has been a convenient and comforting tool for persuading a skeptical public that Tehran will abide by its international commitments. That perception has been boosted by the soothing diplomatese which Zarif typically deploys when speaking to western leaders and the western press. Without a leading outside power to put a brake on his activities, or even point out the appalling destruction wreaked by Iran and its allies in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon, Zarif has no reason to delay his charm offensive. As he sees it, the world is finally ready to accept that Iran is, firstly, a pillar of the new, multilateral global order, and secondly, that Iran is a viable commercial partner now that sanctions have essentially been lifted. Speaking before his plane landed in Cuba, the first stop on a tour that also takes in Nicaragua, Bolivia, Chile and Venezuela, Zarif emphasized the importance of the 60 executives from the Iranian "private sector" who were accompanying him. “The composition of the delegation,” Zarif informed Press TV, the regime's English-language mouthpiece, “is indicative of the significance that both the private and the state-run sectors of the Islamic Republic of Iran attach to the enhancement of relations with Latin America.” Absent from that description of the trip's purpose is the one element for which Iran is renowned in Latin America – the spread of terrorism and of terror-supporting ideologies. Zarif hinted at these links when he praised the Cuban people – by which he means the Communist regime still in power – for resisting the "atrocities" leveled by the U.S. "empire." For his part, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez praised Iran for the "success of its foreign policy" and reiterated the Communist government's support for "all countries to develop nuclear energy with pacific ends." Not everyone in Washington, DC has followed these developments with indifference. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R., Fla.), chair of the House Subcommittee on the Middle East and North Africa, told the Washington Free Beacon that the timing of Zarif's visit "is significant as Iran could use many of these rogue regimes to circumvent remaining sanctions, undermine U.S. interests, and expand the drug trafficking network that helps finance its illicit activities. Tehran’s classic playbook is to use cultural centers, new embassies or consulates, or cooperative agreements on various areas to act as façades aimed at expanding Iran’s radical extremist network.” It's not as if we don't already know the havoc and suffering that same network is capable of inflicting. Iran, after all, was responsible for the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish center in Buenos Aires, the Argentine capital, killing 85 people and wounding hundreds more – just two years after a similar attack on the Israeli embassy in the same city. It's worth noting that Argentina is not among the countries that Zarif is visiting, and it’s doubtful he would be welcome there. For more than 20 years, the AMIA case has remain unresolved and not a single Iranian identified by Interpol as involved with the atrocity has been arrested. In fact, for the last two years, that investigation has been diverted as a result of the likely murder of Alberto Nisman, the prosecutor in charge of the case, in January 2015. Nisman was found dead in his apartment with a bullet in his skull, just hours before he was due to launch a report charging that the government of former President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner colluded with the Iranians to shield those responsible for the AMIA bombing. Kirchner was defeated in last year's election by the centrist Mauricio Macri, a former mayor of Buenos Aires. Under Macri's government, the wheels of Argentine justice have slowly started to turn again, and that's not good news for the Iranians. Over the last fortnight, the Argentine judiciary, amid persistent rumors that Kirchner ordered Nisman's assassination, is once more examining both the circumstances of the AMIA bombing as well as Nisman's accusations against Kirchner. As Eamonn MacDonagh, who has written extensively on the AMIA case, pointed out, "it’s hard to avoid the suspicion that (Judge Claudio) Bonadio and (Judge Fabiana) Palmaghini are responding to a signal of some sort from the executive branch that the government is finally interested in having both Nisman’s death and his allegations properly investigated." Any investigation will inevitably lead back to Tehran, into the highest echelons of the Iranian regime. But Argentina won’t be able to secure the extradition of the AMIA suspects without international support, especially given the emerging Middle Eastern alignment between Iran, Turkey and Russia. If the next American president is serious about curbing Iranian mischief, securing justice for the AMIA victims is as good a place as any to start. In the meantime, Iran will continue to back Latin American governments out of favor with their own citizens. Zarif's presence in Venezuela, at a time when the majority of the country's voters are demanding a referendum on the future of its current leader, Nicolas Maduro, is a clear signal that Iran is intent on maintaining a mini-empire of its own, despite Tehran's protestations about American meddling. Maduro's policies, based on those of his predecessor, Hugo Chavez, have brought Venezuela to its knees. Hunger is rampant, crime has reached record levels and hospitals have run out of basic medicines. Indeed, one look at the sorry state of Venezuela – once the richest Latin American country, with huge oil reserves – should be enough to persuade the most skeptical observer that an alliance with Iran is part of a package that also includes economic ruin and political repression. But until we take the necessary steps in Latin America, and in other regions vulnerable to Iranian influence, the mullahs have no incentive to pull back.

Apocalypse now? Massive mushroom cloud terrifies residents in Siberia who frantically ring the emergency services fearing a nuclear explosion

The isolated cloud sprung up around the industrial city of Kemerovo

What they were actually seeing was a huge anvil cumulo-nimbus cloud

Formed after a thunderstorm pushed clouds aside high in the atmosphere

By Will Stewart and Francis Scott For Mailonline Published: 05:11 EST, 29 August 2016 | Updated: 05:14 EST, 29 August 2016

A massive mushroom cloud has terrified locals in Siberia, leaving the emergency services inundated with calls as residents feared a nuclear attack. The isolated cloud, in the industrial city of Kemerovo, bore the distinctive hallmark of a nuclear explosion, leading locals to believe that doomsday had arrived. Others reasoned a blast may have occurred at one of the area's many mines, for which the coal-rich Kuzbass region is renowned. In fact what they were seeing was a huge anvil cumulo-nimbus, formed after a thunderstorm caused clouds to be blown to the side, reports Sputnik News. The emergency services quickly calmed down the shocked locals, saying the formation was merely an ordinary rain cloud. No freak accidents or fires were reported that day, and users on social media joked about what the unusual sight could have meant. 'A mushroom cloud has grown today. This is, probably, a hint that a 'mushroom season' is in full swing. It's time to pick mushrooms. Very beautiful!' wrote Instagram user @khsy_20_. Local Sergey Zmaznev posted footage of the cloud on YouTube, showing the mushroom rising high into the atmosphere. The video already has over 20,000 views since he posted it on Sunday. Sergey also posted images of the ominous cloud outside his home.

Lightning strikes again! At least 322 wild reindeer killed by lightning in Norway: 2016 has seen a massive increase in death by lightning

Monday, 29 August 2016

Photo www.kgwn.tv

Lightning strikes on a 12 to 24% increase: Phenomenon appears to be worsening with climate change. Reports of "Strange lightning storms!" Lightning from cloudless sky! "Strange lightning storms" causing widespread bush fires in the US and Canada this year. 100's dead from lightning strikes in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka this summer In June more than a 100 people were struck in Europe. In July a new world record was recorded as ten thousand lightning flashes lit up Hong Kong's night sky over one weekend An inspector for Norway's wildlife and environmental protection agency Statens naturoppsyn (SNO) encountered an animal tragedy while out making his rounds on a mountain plateau just before the weekend. At least 322 wild reindeer were found dead in a radius of just 50 to 60 meters. Knut Nylend told Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) on Sunday that the wild reindeer, which move in large, tight flocks and are a protected species in Norway, most probably were killed by lightning bolts that struck the Hardangervidda plateau Friday afternoon. "There were quite hard weather conditions with thunder and lightning in the afternoon," Nylend told NRK. "The flock must have been hit by lightning." The dead animals were found, some of them lying on top of each other, between Møsvatn and Kalhovd in Telemark County. Staff from SNO and the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA) were working at the site on Sunday, counting the animals and taking biological samples from them. They determined 322 reindeer were killed, all in a concentrated area where "they certainly were standing tightly together," Nylend said. "They often do so." He said it was still unclear what would be done with all the cadavers, saying that was a matter for the state food safety agency Mattilsynet to decide. There are an estimated 10,000 wild reindeer roaming Hardangervidda.

What Life Will Be Like After an Economic Collapse

Megan Stewart Economy 3 Comments

If you have been waiting for a public announcement or news headline to let you know that an economic collapse has begun, you are in for the surprise of your life. If history in other countries and in Detroit, Michigan is any indication, there won’t be an announcement. An economic collapse tends to sneak up on a city, region, or country gradually over time. In some cases, the arrival of an economic collapse is so gradual that most people living in it aren’t even aware of it at first. Things just get gradually worse, often so gradually that people and families adjust as best they can until one day they actually realize that it’s not just their home or their neighborhood that has been hit so hard financially, it’s everyone. By that time, it’s often too late to take preventative action. In March of 2011, Detroit’s population was reported as having fallen to 713,777, the lowest it had been in a century and a full 25% drop from 2000. In December 2011, the state announced its intention to formally review Detroit’s finances. In May of 2013, almost two years later, the city is deemed “clearly insolvent” and in July of 2013, the state representative filed a Chapter 9 bankruptcy petition for Motor City. Detroit became one of the biggest cities to file bankruptcy in history. So we have only to look at what happened in Detroit, Michigan post-bankruptcy, to get an indication of what might soon be widespread across the United States and what is already widespread in countries like Brazil and Venezuela. Increased and Widespread Hunger Grocery stores and other businesses will fail one by one or be shut down from the riots and looting. In Detroit, the economic collapse left less than 5 national grocery stores for over 700,000 people. Imagine the lines even if food was still being shipped in on trucks. Small independent corner stores and family owned stores become the most convenient place to shop. These are stores with already high prices who make most of their profit from beer, wine, lottery, and cigarettes. Now imagine that shipping schedules have been affected by the economic crisis, this would mean longer lines with less certainty that any food would even be available once you got into the store to shop. People in Venezuelaare actually dealing with government-run grocery stores and are limited to two days per week they can shop. They still face long lines and total uncertainty of what, if any food, will be left once it’s their “turn” to shop. One of the ways for you to prepare for an economic collapse and increase the likelihood that your family will be well-fed regardless of what is available in the grocery stores is to grow your own food. For further protection, consider planning and planting a hidden survival garden rather than a traditional garden that would be obvious to neighbors and looters. In addition, you can learn how to identify, harvest, and consume wild edible plants to supplement your food supply. Sporadic Public Services Public services, including the school system experience frequent strikes that shut them down for days at a time. Power issues and outages become more frequent and roadways become filled with potholes and other signs of disrepair as preventative measures are shoved aside. The water from the tap, that you pay for monthly, begins to smell funny, so you start filtering it before using it. Garbage collection service is sporadic and you begin to see increased trash along the streets and sidewalks. Your cell phone is certainly not something you can rely on since you can’t predict when the signal will be available. Although you pay for high-speed internet, actually getting that service on a daily basis is a matter of sheer luck. Increased littering in the streets and lack of regular garbage collection services becomes an issue because the litter now clogs storm drains every time it rains. In order to prepare for the sporadic and possible shutdown of public utility services, you can research alternative methods for getting what you need. Consider solar or wind power energy, digging a well or installing a rainwater catchment system. Invest in a composting toilet in the event that public septic systems are overloaded or malfunctioning. Social Unrest This is another one of those things that just tends to sneak up gradually. Initially, protests warrant our attention because it’s new and different and out of the ordinary. But as the protests become more and more frequent, people stop caring why the protests are happening. You learn to avoid areas where protests are likely to occur. You start taking an alternate route to work or entering your office building through a back door. Violence and vandalism begin to accompany the protests and roadblocks become part of your everyday routine. Like rush-hour traffic r, you plan enough time to get to work based on the knowledge that the road may be blocked due to a car or building being set on fire the night before. More people will be armed when in public, tempers will be short, there will be increased knife fights and shootings. This will put a huge strain on emergency services personnel such as police, fire, and EMS. Streets, yards, and even homes are flooding more often now. In addition to the litter, the metal storm drains and even copper pipes from abandoned homes are being stolen for cash. Before long you start to notice that the historic plaques are missing from city monuments, statues come up missing, even doorknobs, anything metal that can be scrapped is fair game for looters and thieves. One way to prepare for the next wave of riots is to move out of the city to a more rural location. If you can’t do that right now, then it will help to be intimately familiar with your city roads and other transportation routes. Make sure that you have several planned routes to/from work or your child’s school and any nearby grocery stores. In addition to planning alternative routes for daily travel, you should plan and practice several different bug out routes in case you need to leave your home quickly. Consider not only roads but also railroad tracks, subway tunnels, sewer tunnels, and power line easement roads as possible alternative routes. Transportation Daily travel is fraught with angry mobs and requires using alternative routes which result in everything just taking longer. Travel by bus, subway, and airline are unpredictable due to increased strikes. Roads go unrepaired as a result of striking workers or budget constraints. Increased bottlenecks on the roads lead to more frequent carjacking and muggings as thieves learn where people will be forced to stop. More people are forced to travel by bus, subway, or train due to skyrocketing gas prices, thus public transportation services are overwhelmed. There are increased train accidents, bus and subway breakdowns due to lack of investment, corruption, and politics getting in the way of doing things correctly. Strikes, protests, and roadblocks make everything worse. Soon the only way to get anything done involves “paying a little extra” or suffering long and uncertain delays. Plan for long delays in transportation by not only keeping your car gas tank full of gas at all times but also by stockpiling as much gas as you can safely store. Keep your car well-maintained, keep spare parts and engine fluids stockpiled, and perform preventative repairs. You can also consider an alternate form of transportation such as a motorcycle, foldable bicycle, or even a motorized scooter or boat if your situation warrants it. Criminal Activity When an economic crisis is in the making, you will definitely see an increase in criminal activity. People will become desperate to feed themselves and their families. More people will be more willing to cross the line into criminal activity to get what they need. Initially, you will hear about more incidents of violence, looting, robberies, and muggings. Your neighbor or a family member will be mugged and you will respond by taking additional safety precautions. You’ll check your car before getting into it, you’ll avoid dark areas, carry your keys in your hand. As reports become more frequent, you’ll start to travel only in groups and never alone. You’ll hear that the woman down the street had someone break into her house while she was sleeping. So you may nag your husband to reinforce the deadbolts and add security bars on the windows. When the neighbor is robbed, your husband will buy several guns and you both will learn to use them. You’ll teach your kids about gun safety and maybe create a plan of action for a home invasion. Before long, getting mugged or being a victim of some type of crime is as unpredictable and as common as a car accident. You’ll realize everyone in the neighborhood has now beefed up security on their homes. All your family, friends, and coworkers have experienced a mugging, carjacking, or worse. You’ll have no choice but to accept this new way of life and count on basic safety measures (a form of passive denial) or further learn to defend yourself and remain in a constant state of alert (a very stressful state over time). It’s difficult emotionally, mentally, and physically to remain on high alert 24/7 for any length of time. Most people will revert to a form of passive denial until the next incident happens to them or a family member. Take time now to learn self-defense moves and make sure you and all family members know how to use both non-lethal and lethal weapons. Keep weapons where you can reach them quickly but where they are safe from curious child fingers. Learn and consider putting into practice some of these 10 deceptive strategies for preppers so you can avoid becoming a target for criminals. Housing Streets that used to have a house on every lot, morph into desolate patches of houses as people lose their homes to banks or abandon their homes to move in with family or friends due to lack of finances. Houses fall into disrepair, lawns are overgrown, pests and rodents thrive in empty buildings. Abandoned homes that aren’t torn down or maintained by the city may be taken over by squatters, some with the best of intentions to clean it up, others who just need a place to sleep, or who are in between drug or alcohol binges. Squatters will modify heating systems to get them to work or customize DIY heating sources which can result in increased house fires and even explosions when things go wrong. As the housing conditions worsen, more people will become ill from prolonged exposure to the elements, to poor living conditions, and to increased insect and rodent infestations. The best way to ensure that housing for you and your family is stable is to keep up with needed repairs and do what you can to reduce your overall housing expenses. If you can pay ahead on your house payments or pay down on the principal amount, or even pay off your house, you stand a better chance of keeping control of it when things start to collapse. Unemployment More and more people you know will experience job loss or layoffs. It may seem easy enough to get another job at first, but as more and more people are displaced, finding a job will become almost impossible. Teenagers will be displaced from jobs that are now being taken by adults. This means instead of working for the summer and after school, more teenagers will be out on the streets without anything worthwhile to do. The neighborhood might just seem “rowdier” at night and then during the day too. But before long, boredom, frustration, and even anger will set in and the unemployed will join the ranks of the protestors and looters. Prepare for possible unemployment by saving up an emergency fund and stockpiling food and other supplies so that you can manage through several weeks or even months without steady income. Reduce your monthly expenses as much as possible so you can live on less when money gets tight. Healthcare This is one of the areas that many people don’t really consider when they think about an economic collapse but it’s probably one of the most important when it comes to human life and survival. This is especially true for those people who may take daily medications in order to treat a chronic life-threatening condition. Initially healthcare appointments may become more difficult to schedule. It may take longer to get in to see a doctor because quite frankly, more people are getting sick and needing care. Illnesses from poor diet, from low-quality water, or food that spoiled due to power issues will be more frequent. There will also be more injuries as a result of the looting, rioting, and increased criminal activity. You can expect increased incidents of domestic violence as family relationships are strained and crack under the stress of poor living conditions. Many people will lose access to their healthcare when they lose their jobs, and this will place a strain on public services such as free clinics and emergency rooms. To prepare for a shortage or lack of accessible healthcare, you can create and learn to use your own first aid kit and learn how to identify and use wild plants and natural remedies to treat minor illnesses and diseases. There’s really no way to predict the timing of an economic collapse with any certainty and in most cases, an economic collapse will occur gradually without much warning unless you are paying close attention to activity and events going on around you and around the world. The best way to be prepared when it does happen is to start changing your lifestyle now, in the ways discussed above, so that you and your family can survive hard times in the future.

What the Hell? Satan worship on rise in America

Iben Thranholm examines political and social events with focus on their religious aspects, significance and moral implications. She is one of Denmark’s most widely read columnists on such matters. Thranholm is a former editor and radio host at the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR), at which she created a religious news program that set a new standard for religious analysis in the newsroom. She has traveled extensively in the Middle East, Italy, the United States and Russia to carry out research and interviews. She has been awarded for her investigative research into Danish media coverage of religious issues. Published time: 29 Aug, 2016 12:32 Satanists are not merely mystical eccentrics wearing black Gothic garb, sacrificing animals and operating in shady and secret societies. They are now ordinary people who call themselves ‘secular’ and praise reason and the individual freedom of thought. In the US, explicitly satanic groups have begun drawing attention to themselves in the context of public governmental ceremonies. Just this month, a member of the so-called Satanic Temple was allowed to make an opening prayer to Lucifer at a local council meeting in Alaska. Assembly members stood around in a circle while the Satanist asked them to “embrace the Luciferian impulse to eat of the tree of knowledge.” She then ended the surreal prayer with the words, “Hail Satan.” Thoughtfully, meeting attendees were reminded that they did not have to participate in the opening ritual. The Satanic Temple (TST) is a fairly new organization. Founded in 2013, it fights for political change by pointing out the ostensibly preferential treatment Christianity enjoys in politics. TST has seven chapters in the USA and Europe, and claims a membership of 100,000. One of the group's objectives is to embed Lucifer in the public school system by establishing afternoon clubs, adoringly dubbed “After School Satan”, which is TST’s response to a Supreme Court ruling allowing evangelical programs to operate in schools. Currently nine clubs are listed under the program, including in Los Angeles, Salt Lake City and Washington DC. The clubs will focus on “rationalism, free inquiry … and fun”, according to a promotional video. TST itself emphasizes that it seeks to implement “After School Satan” in locations where active Christian children’s clubs operate. TST said it is “not interested in operating After School Satan clubs in school districts that are not already hosting the Good News Club.” The Temple is attempting to present a challenge to the Good News Club, an interdenominational Christian program for five to 12-year-olds, operating in over 3,500 public schools across the country. The Christian club’s curriculum was designed by the Child Evangelism Fellowship and includes Bible studies and workshops. A spokesperson for TST, Lucien Greaves, said the controversial clubs will give children other alternatives than the Good News Club, which he claimed instills children “with a fear of Hell and God’s wrath.” TST also aims to place demonic books on the shelves in the libraries of public schools, as well as having satanic prayers recited at high school games. It is, however, somewhat ironic that the Satanists’ intention is currently to get children to stop fearing hell, which runs counter to Christian teaching. Satanists are of the opinion that Christianity has had too much influence on American society, but this must be because they have not kept up to date on the latest research. Or that they are governed by a different factor than reason. But it seems that Europe may also be heading in the wrong religious direction. In June, several European leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, were present at a bizarre ritual in connection with the opening of the world’s longest tunnel, the new Gotthard tunnel, in Switzerland this past June. The ceremony is performed by masked men dressed in grass costumes, fallen angels descending from the ceiling and a man with a goat’s head, whom the other performers in the ceremony appear to worship. The opening ritual has subsequently been interpreted as depicting satanic scenes from hell. More than one publication, and certainly more conspiracy theorists, slammed the dark performance "Satanic." A disturbing trend According to The Pew Research Center, religious “nones”, a category that includes atheists, agnostics, and the “nothing in particular” group, make up 23 per cent of US adults, up from 16 per cent in 2007. This group is growing as a percentage of the US population. At the same time, they are becoming increasingly secular, Pew reports, "a trend that also makes the US public overall less religious," according to surveys made as part of the Religious Landscape Study. But there is more to the story. To begin with, this group is not uniformly nonreligious. Most of them say they believe in God, and about a third says religion is at least somewhat important in their lives. Seventy percent of those born between 1990 and 1996 with no religious affiliation say religion is not important in their lives. A similar share also report they seldom or never pray and 42 percent say they do not believe in God, according to the Pew study. Obviously, most of the “nones” do not reject faith in “something”, and this often means that they seek some form of spirituality outside a traditional affiliation. Like Satanists also do. But why would one use Satan, a spiritual entity, as figurehead if the aim of their struggle is rationality and freedom from religion? The perception of secular society as nonreligious is quite simply a delusion, as Lesslie Newbigin states in his book The Gospel in a Pluralist Society, in which he also points to a revival of ancient heathen religions, in opposition to Christianity. The paradox is that the religions that have attempted to embrace rationalism perish in modernity, while those that embrace the supernatural elements revive.

See Censored Video - Facebook Openly Shills For Hillary By Banning Video Exposing PBS Censorship To Protect Clinton

August 28, 2016 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

Matt Orfalea managed to provide documented evidence, via a livestream interview by PBS with Green Party presidential nominee, Dr. Jill Stein, along with the final edited version that PBS published, further documented with a taped version of the livestream itself proving that PBS censored the most critical portions of the interview against Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Now the evidence provided by Orfalea, by way of a video highlighting the portions of the PBS interview that was edited out by PBS, is being censored on Facebook, with a Facebook message stating "Our message: It looks like the link you shared doesn't follow our community standards. If you think your post shouldn't have been removed, let us know by filling out this form." The message posted above the proof of FB censorship, states "My video of PBS censoring Jill Stein has been CENSORED by Facebook! It got over 100k views and over 5k shares in less than 24 hrs...And all of a sudden it has disappeared. I have still received no notification from FB about this. If you received a notification from Fb (like in this screenshot). Please respond and share. This is wrong. And frankly, very scary." A look through the comments on Orfalea's post showing that Facebook is actually censoring the bombshell story about PBS censorship and editing some very damaging points about Hillary Clinton, shows that everyone else that attempting to share Orfalea's original post is also receiving the same Community Standards message.

Huffington Post Bans Journalist For Writing About Hillary’s Health, Deletes Article

"This is spooky, to me this is extremely spooky"

Paul Joseph Watson - August 29, 2016

The Huffington Post has sensationally censored an article pertaining to questions about Hillary Clinton’s health and banned the journalist who wrote it from posting on their website altogether. David Seaman penned a commentary piece discussing questions surrounding Hillary’s health problems on Sunday. The story included a link to my viral video about the subject, which now has over 3.5 million views. The post, which had been trending at number 3 on the website, was deleted within hours and Seaman’s posting rights were completely revoked. The link now just contains an editor’s note stating, “This post is no longer available on the Huffington Post.” The Huff Post deleted the article despite the fact that pieces questioning John McCain’s health were heavily featured on the website in 2008. The left-wing news outlet also posted an article today speculating on Donald Trump contracting cancer, but its author was not banned. The double standard is brazen. Other leftist news outlets, most recently the Guardian, have also featured my video without the article immediately being deleted. It appears as though the main reason for the article being deleted was the fact that Seaman didn’t automatically dismiss the entire issue as a “conspiracy theory” in line with the rest of the pro-Hillary media. In a YouTube video posted in response to the deletion of the article, Seaman described the censorship as “chilling” and “Orwellian”. “Both of my articles have been pulled without notice of any kind, just completely deleted from the Internet, and both of those articles mentioned Hillary’s health,” states Seaman. “That video that Paul Watson put up has been viewed more than 3.5 million times, so it was a very newsworthy thing for me to link out to,” noted Seaman, adding that he should have been able to link to it without having his account revoked. “I’ve filed hundreds of stories over the years as a journalist and I’ve never had anything like this happen….I’ve never experienced this,” remarked Seaman, adding that he was now seeking legal counsel. “This is spooky, to me this is extremely spooky – I don’t like it,” he added, pointing to how the media has dispensed with any notion of balance to jump on Trump while giving Hillary a free pass. “They’re deleting and censoring commentary on her health – why is that?” asked Seaman. “Do they not want more people to watch that video on YouTube, is that what’s going on here?” In a related development, Donald Trump officially challenged Hillary Clinton to release her full medical records, but the Clinton campaign almost immediately refused to do so. The video that Seaman linked to in his now deleted article is embedded below.

CRISIS: Internet to Have Global Governance October 1. Call Congress!

Better Censorship for Tyrants

by Judith Bergman August 29, 2016 at 6:00 am

The U.S. announced its plan to pass the oversight of the agency to a global governance model on October 1, 2016. The Obama Administration says that the transition will have no practical effects on the internet's functioning or its users, and even considers the move necessary in order to maintain international support for the internet and to prevent a fracturing of its governance. Oh really? The absence of the U.S. in overseeing the governance of the internet could spell the end of the current era of free speech on the internet, as well as free enterprise. What guarantees are there that internet governance will not eventually end up in the hands of those very governments, seeing as they are all very eager to gain control of it? None. The Geneva Declaration of Principles makes clear that the UN, run by a majority of authoritarian governments, wants a decisive role for governments in internet governance. Civil society groups and activists are calling on Congress to sue the Obama Administration -- perhaps at least to postpone the date until more Americans are aware of the plan. It is not too late. Very soon, on October 1, 2016, much of the internet's governance will shift from the US National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) authority to a nonprofit multi-stakeholder entity, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, also known by its acronym ICANN. Until now, NTIA has been responsible for key internet domain name functions, such as the coordination of the DNS (Domain Name System) root, IP addresses, and other internet protocol resources. But in March 2014, the U.S. announced its plan to let its contract with ICANN to operate key domain name functions expire in September 2015, passing the oversight of the agency to a global governance model. The expiration was subsequently delayed until October 1, 2016. According to the NTIA's press release at the time, "NTIA's responsibility includes the procedural role of administering changes to the authoritative root zone file – the database containing the lists of names and addresses of all top-level domains – as well as serving as the historic steward of the DNS. NTIA currently contracts with ICANN to carry out the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions and has a Cooperative Agreement with Verisign under which it performs related root zone management functions. Transitioning NTIA out of its role marks the final phase of the privatization of the DNS as outlined by the U.S. Government in 1997". According to the NTIA, from the inception of ICANN, the U.S. government and internet stakeholders envisioned that the U.S. role in the IANA functions would be temporary. The Commerce Department's June 10, 1998 Statement of Policy stated that the U.S. government "is committed to a transition that will allow the private sector to take leadership for DNS management." The official reason, therefore, is that "ICANN as an organization has matured and taken steps in recent years to improve its accountability and transparency and its technical competence. At the same time, international support continues to grow for the multi-stakeholder model of Internet governance as evidenced by the continued success of the Internet Governance Forum and the resilient stewardship of the various Internet institutions". The Obama Administration says that the transition will have no practical effects on the internet's functioning or its users, and even considers the move necessary in order to maintain international support for the internet and to prevent a fracturing of its governance. Oh really? While the transition may appear ostensibly "technical", the absence of the United States in overseeing the governance of the internet could spell the end of the current era of free speech on the internet, as well as free enterprise. This is not merely wild speculation; it is evident in the statements that several governments, who are less than enchanted with the concept of freedom of speech, have made in recent years regarding the governance of the internet. Some of these statements have come to light in the preparatory work of the United Nations World Summit on Information Society, known today as WSIS+10 -- a process that began in 2003 with the Geneva Declaration of Principles and that continues to this day. Purportedly, the purpose of the process is a "commitment to build a people-centred, inclusive and development-oriented Information Society, where everyone can create, access, utilize and share information and knowledge" (section A.1), but already in section B.1 it becomes clear that the UN, run by a majority of authoritarian governments, wants a decisive role for governments in internet governance: "Governments, as well as private sector, civil society and the United Nations and other international organizations have an important role and responsibility in the development of the Information Society and, as appropriate, in decision-making processes. Building a people-centred Information Society is a joint effort which requires cooperation and partnership among all stakeholders". The UN, in the form of International Telecommunication Union (ITU), has already tried in vain to wrestle control of the internet from ICANN, but where the ITU failed, WSIS+10 may succeed with the new "global governance" ICANN, unshielded from the protection of the US. The urge of various governments to control the internet is evidently there. If anything, this was clear from the submissions for the December 2015 WSIS+10 UN General Assembly High Level Meeting. The written submission of the Group of 77 plus China -- a coalition, dating from 1964, of developing countries that now includes 134 nations -- stated that, "The management of the Internet involves both technical and public-policy issues and ... the overall authority for Internet related public policy issues is the sovereign right of States." China's individual submission was even more interesting. It stated that, "The multi-stakeholder governance model that brings together governments, the private sector and non-governmental organizations would be respected... This model should not be lopsided, and any tendency to place sole emphasis on the role of businesses and non-governmental organizations while marginalizing governments should be avoided. The roles and responsibilities of national governments in regard to regulation and security of the network should be upheld. It is necessary to ensure that United Nations plays a facilitating role in setting up international public policies pertaining to the Internet. We should work on the internationalization of Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers". When China says that ICANN should be internationalized, it hardly has in mind an increased role for non-governmental organizations. Russia did not even pay lip service to the multi-stakeholder governance model but cut straight to the point: "We consider it necessary to consecutively increase the role of governments in the Internet governance, with strengthening the activity of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in this field, as well as with support of the UNESCO activity in the development of ethical aspects of Internet use..." "Ethical aspects of Internet use"? Saudi Arabia, in its submission, also emphasized, that a priority for the WSIS+10 should be, "actualization of enhanced cooperation to enable governments... to carry out their roles and responsibilities in international public policy issues pertaining to the internet". According to the Wall Street Journal, the Obama Administration -- as well as many in the high-tech community -- regards the long-planned move as necessary to maintain international support for the internet and prevent a fracturing of its governance -- a claim critics may find dubious. The U.S. government's role "has long been a source of irritation to foreign governments," according to the NTIA. One look at many foreign governments and it is easy to see why. The NTIA claims that, "These calls for replacing the multi-stakeholder model with a multilateral, government-run approach will only grow louder if the U.S. government fails to complete the transition". Is that a threat? But what guarantees are there that internet governance will not eventually end up in the hands of those very governments, seeing as they are all very eager to gain control of it? None. In fact, those who claim to care about a free and uncensored internet, unbridled by government and international state organizations, should take a close look at the proposals for the plan for ICANN that the different stakeholders, including governments, came to agree on in March 2016 in Marrakech. According to this plan, the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC), a decisional participant in ICANN, will -- subject to certain limitations -- be able to participate in decision-making on budgets, board member removals, and other matters of ICANN corporate governance. This is new and represents a major shift, which should concern those who care about internet freedom. Even if this plan is discarded for some reason, it shows how eagerly governments are pushing for control in internet matters. That observation alone should serve as a warning to those who take at face value the U.S. administration's declarations that nothing will change. The decision to transfer authority to ICANN has met with resistance in the U.S. Congress, and a coalition of more than two dozen civil society groups and activists are even calling on Congress to sue the Obama Administration -- perhaps at least to postpone the date until more Americans are aware of the plan. It is not too late. Judith Bergman is a writer, columnist, lawyer and political analyst.

BONKERS: Disney World and Seaworld now handing out DEET insect repellent that causes seizures, encephalopathy and comas in children

Sunday, August 28, 2016 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

(NaturalNews) The official narrative on Zika is a hilarious medical hoax. Millions of people in Brazil and Colombia have carried Zika for decades with no recorded increase in microcephaly cases. Only after a toxic chemical larvacide was dumped into the public water supply did horrific birth defects start to be noticed. Now, the same quack science cabal of Disney, the CDC, the WHO and wealthy drug companies has been whipping up mass hysteria over Zika, a virus that even the CDC admits causes virtually no symptoms, no hospitalizations and no deaths. In response to this mass hysteria rooted in outright medical quackery, authorities have been desperately pushing DEET chemicals as insect repellants. Yet as I have exhaustively documented here on Natural News, DEET is one part of a binary chemical weapon that causes brain damage in humans. Known as "N,N-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide" from a chemistry point of view, when DEET is combined with carbamate class pesticide chemicals -- which are found everywhere in the food supply -- the result is a "hyper toxic" brain damaging chemical cocktail that radically damages brain function. One of the chemical classes in this binary weapon system is similar to VX Nerve Gas chemical weapons that kill mammals within seconds. This chemical cocktail functions as an "acetylcholinesterase inhibitor," meaning it "paralyzes" brain cells after causing them to be hyper stimulated. The result is cognitive confusion, fear, memory loss and other symptoms that curiously resemble the brain damage we're all told is caused by Zika virus. As I wrote in this science story documenting the molecular interaction (and citing numerous published sources): Blocking AChE causes "disrupted neurotransmission" and other damaging effects to brain cells: "The enzyme inactivation, induced by various inhibitors, leads to acetylcholine accumulation, hyperstimulation of nicotinic and muscarinic receptors, and disrupted neurotransmission." According to that science paper, AChE inhibitors work similarly to carbamate and organophosphate pesticides -- two classes of chemicals routinely sprayed all over the national food supply -- meaning that people who slather their skin with DEET are poisoning themselves with brain-disrupting pesticide chemicals. Says the paper, "In medicine and agriculture, the word 'organophosphates' refers to a group of insecticides and nerve agents that inhibit AChE." These organophosphates "exert their main toxicological effects through non-reversible phosphorylation of esterases in the central nervous system," report the scientists. "The acute toxic effects are related to irreversible inactivation of AChE." In other words, some classes of AChE inhibitors can cause irreversible damage to the central nervous system. Disney World, SeaWorld and Universal Orlando to start handing out chemical weapons for parents to apply to the skin of their children "Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and SeaWorld Entertainment will start distributing free insect repellent Sunday," reports the Orland Sentinel. "Fears have escalated about the virus, which is especially dangerous to pregnant women because it can affect fetal brains and cause babies to be born with unusually small heads," says the Sentinel article. Of course, the Sentinel offers no evidence of that assertion. The farcical idea that Zika virus alone is responsible for every microcephaly case in the world is now accepted as a cultural narrative... a "true myth" reinforced by consensus delusion. No evidence is needed to support such statements, you see, because everybody "knows" Zika causes microcephaly. We've all seen the pictures on the news, right? Yet those same news outlets deliberately neglected to report the chemical exposures that led to those brain defects. DEET side effects include "encephalopathy, seizures, movement disorders, coma" which appear "most commonly in children" Adding to the "oh-my-God-how-f'ing-stupid-are-these-people" effect in all this is the realization that DEET can cause extreme neurological disorders in children. According to this PesticideInfo.org reference page, DEET "toxicity is primarily neurologic (encephalopathy, seizures, movement disorders, coma) and may occur via oral or dermal exposure, most commonly in children." You got that? It occurs from "dermal exposure" (i.e. putting it on your skin) and appears "most commonly in children" and can result in "seizures" and "encephalopathy" in those children. Well golly, that makes it the perfect chemical for Disney World! Let's just spray all the children and put free DEET sprays in all the rooms, and see what happens! That same reference page on DEET toxicity, by the way, also lists the following: Symptoms of DEET Exposure

- Eye and mucous membrane irritation.

- Ingestion can cause CNS disturbances.

- Desquamation about the nose, dryness of face, a slight tingling sensation. Contact urticaria.

- Toxicity is primarily neurologic (encephalopathy, seizures, movement disorders, coma) and may occur via oral or dermal exposure, most commonly in children.

- Bradycardia is rare but has been reported after dermal exposure to deet. Hypotension has been reported after large ingestions.

- Eye contact may result in a smarting sensation. A burning sensation of the lips, tongue and mouth may be noted.

- Confusion, ataxia, hypertonicity, and clonic jerking progressing to coma and seizures may occur after acute oral or chronic dermal exposure.

- Abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. I want to bring you attention to this line: "Confusion, ataxia, hypertonicity, and clonic jerking progressing to coma and seizures may occur after acute oral or chronic dermal exposure." Sounds like just another wonderful day at Disney, doesn't it? Disney poisoning children is not new: They were also at the center of the staged measles outbreak that led to SB 277 in California It's no surprise that Disney -- a globalist propaganda conglomerate that uses entertainment as a vector for controlling belief systems by installing false cultural narratives via film -- is engaged in the mass chemical poisoning of children in Florida. This is the same globalist group that was at the epicenter of the staged measles outbreak at Disneyland in California: An epidemiological "false flag" that was timed and engineered to push for the passage of SB 277, the new state law that forces immunizations on parents via threat of criminalization and denial of access to public education. SB 277 is, of course, a violation of fundamental human rights while simultaneously violating women's rights, parental rights and basic medical ethics. See Vaccine industry social influence document reveals attempted bribery of 'key social influencers' such as Disney / Marvel, ESPN, Oprah and a CNN reporter to learn more about how the criminally operated vaccine industry leverages large social influencers like Disney to push medical quackery combined with demands for absolute social obedience. As we now know, Disney played a key role in all that by serving as "ground zero" for the massive, exhaustive media fear campaign which condemned un-vaccinated children as virus-carrying criminals to be targeted for forced injections of toxic substances which still include brain damaging mercury. SB 277's pharma whore, state sen. Richard Pan, received huge donations from pharma right before the measles "outbreak" at Disneyland. Magically, the full text for SB 277 had already been pre-written and was quickly ushered into the legislative process, buoyed by the massive media info-terrorism campaign that was timed to spread Disneyland fear for maximum impact. They don't call it the "Magical Kingdom" for nothing. Now, Zika fear mongering is following the exact same model of social manipulation and medical quackery. The role of the media is to whip up maximum fear followed by the widespread condemnation of actual science that questions the false narratives. Soon, we're going to see parents who refuse to poison their children with DEET condemned as irresponsible citizens, then possibly forced to apply brain damaging chemicals to the skin of their own children by order of the state. The U.S. government, by the way, has a long history of conducting chemical medical experiments on its own citizens. The truth is, no one is safe when medical quackery combines with totalitarian government to criminalize parents who refuse to poison their own children. And that's exactly what it has come to in America today. The Zika hoax accomplishes the exact same thing as the measles hoax and the bird flu hoax: The forced mass obedience of the population to the medical dictators who poison children by design. Free chemical weapons in every hotel room... spray all your children! "Tourism experts and Gov. Rick Scott applauded the theme parks' move," reports the Orlando Sentinel, because of course Gov. Rick Scott is scientifically illiterate and does whatever the science dictators tell him to do. "Disney will offer free pump bottles and towelettes at its theme parks, Disney Springs and ESPN Wide World of Sports. Hotel rooms will have aerosol bug spray. Signs at the resort will inform visitors that repellent and protective clothing can help them avoid mosquito bites," continues the Sentinel. It makes me wonder why Disney World doesn't post Zika Free Zone signs all over the park, to keep out the mosquitoes without having to use any chemicals at all. After all, if "Gun Free Zone" signs are supposed to reduce shootings, then it only seems logical that "Zika Free Zone" signs would halt Zika virus infections, right? That's how stupid the status quo has become, by the way. Most people literally believe in scientific voodoo, thinking that signs alone can stop mass murderers, or that all shrunken brains are caused by Zika virus. Now, the Zika brainwashing is so extensive that Disney is actually placing DEET chemical weapons in the rooms of its resorts, so that parents can spray their children before they go outside to be eaten by alligators. Oh, by the way, DEET is also toxic to alligators. If you do spray your children with DEET, please don't feed them to the gators. DEET is toxic to aquatic ecosystems... so SeaWorld is handing it out for free! Adding to the hilarity and insanity of this entire situation, DEET is also toxic to aquatic ecosystems. So of course, "SeaWorld will provide it at its three Orlando theme and water parks, along with Busch Gardens and Adventure Island in Tampa," reports the Orlando Sentinel. As this Sigma-Aldrich safety sheet explains, DEET demonstrates "Acute aquatic toxicity (Category 3)" and is "Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects." That same document also explains that DEET shows "toxicity to fish" and is "Harmful to aquatic life." The geniuses at SeaWorld -- who also commit horrific animal rights abuses against intelligent whales, enslaving them for the amusement of stupid humans -- think that it's an awesome idea to spray an aquatic toxin all over the SeaWorld park in an effort to kill mosquitoes that pose no significant risk to children whatsoever. Once the children start showing seizures and neurological problems, the complicit media will blame it all on Zika! And here's the most grotesque chapter in all this: Once all these children who visited Disney World start to suffer neurological disorders, seizures, comas or similar side effects caused by DEET, the complicit mainstream media will, predictably, blame it all on Zika! Once that happens, the call will go out for MORE spraying, more DEET, more chemical bombardment of everyone... and the brain damage will escalate in an expanding cycle of what can only be called "the chemical suicide of the human race." I hope you understand at this point that all mainstream "official sources" -- government experts, mainstream scientists, mainstream journalists and politicians -- are all irredeemably stupid beyond belief. They are literally poisoning the brains of children and calling it "safety" against a wildly exaggerated, hyped-up threat (Zika virus). It makes you wonder just how much brain damage has already taken place among Disney executives who might be using DEET on their own skin. Are these people stupid? Or is this all deliberate and they're really just evil? It's impossible to know the answer to that, of course. But one thing we can all agree on is to keep your children away from Disney at all costs, as Disney has now become a proponent of chemical child abuse while serving as a key influencer to push provably false medical quackery and scientific totalitarianism.

World War 3 Has Begun! The Coming Nuclear Holocaust

Posted on August 29, 2016 Written by freshlightsource.com

Because of the Reckless Obama White House, the World Is on the Edge of Thermonuclear War “And every living thing in the sea died.” (Revelation 16:3). The Worst Nuclear Disaster So Far In March of 2011 a 9.0 magnitude earthquake rumbled off the coast of Japan generating a tsunami which swept the coast and destroyed the Fukushima Nuclear Plant. Three reactors melted down. A radioactive cloud exploded into the atmosphere sending flakes from the inside of the reactor towards the United States and Europe. The world’s worst nuclear disaster had begun. Every day since the meltdowns, 3 to 400 tons of toxic water containing Cesium-137, have poured into the Pacific Ocean. The amount of radiation spewing out from Fukushima recently increased by 7500 percent! It has been computed that by the year 2020, radiation will have destroyed all sea life in the Pacific and millions will starve! (For more information on this subject see Fukushima Truth and Is Fukushima God’s Judgment? Unbelievable as this Hebrew prophecy once might have seemed, it is now coming to pass. But this is merely one prophecy in a long list of terrifying events found in the Book of Revelation. At this very moment, our earth teeters on the edge of — thermonuclear war. The Last Time the World Came to the Brink of Annihilation In 1962, our planet rushed to the brink of a global holocaust. Kennedy’s challenge to the Soviets was clear and everyone knew the danger was real. Americans worried and protested but most important of all–they prayed. Russia realized their missiles had been discovered and with Kennedy’s firm resolve against them, they knew they had to back down. So Russia agreed to remove its missles and the crisis was averted. Now these same two superpowers are facing off again. This time, the US government’s brinksmanship is being hidden from its citizens under a swirl of propaganda issued by the White House. Most Americans are oblivious to what is really happening and very few are truly alarmed. Will the Ukraine Plunge The World into WW3? President Barack Obama has openly challenged Russia. The CIA engineered a coup d’Etat in the Ukraine, (right on Russia’s doorstep), toppling a pro-Russian, democratically elected government in favor of a pro-western group of Fascists. The US then slapped heavy economic sanctions against Russia, blaming it for the break-away of the eastern Ukrainian province. Obama accused Russia of invading Ukraine which is ridiculous; if Russian troops had invaded, the civil war would have ened within hours. Now it has become clear that the White House conspired with Saudi Arabia to force the price of crude oil down, further crushing the Russian economy. But this move has also devastated the US oil fracking industry and pushed world markets dangerously close to a financial depression. Because the civil war in the Ukraine is not going well for its Fascist government, Obama has announced it will funnel in billions of munitions. The Russians have warned that further American involvement will be seen as an escalation towards war. America’s European allies are waking up to the stupidity of Washington’s present course of action and are lobbying Obama to defuse the situation. Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev just stated the West’s push against Russia may lead to a tragic end. He described one Russian missile called: “Satan.” It has 100 warheads on top, and he claimed it is like having a hundred Chernobyls. Few in the West comprehend the destruction that Russia can unleash. Aleksandr Dugin, the Russian philosopher known as “Putin’s Brain” — because he is so influential in Russia — believes that the U.S.-led New World Order is the “kingdom of the Antichrist” and that it will be destroyed someday. Dugin is convinced that someday there will be a major war between Russia and the United States — which Russia will win. Why Russia Might Win A Nuclear Confrontation The old doctrine of MAD or “Mutually Assured Destruction” is no longer likely to keep the world from a nuclear confrontation. Why? Because the balance of power has shifted. Barack Obama has unilaterally reduced the size of our strategic nuclear arsenal down from 31,000 to just 1,642 deployed warheads, with plans to drop it down even further to 300! Our nuclear arsenal is also antiquated, still using floppy disks and 1960 computer technology. According to the State Department, Russia now has more ICBM warheads deployed than we do at 1,643. Putin also has a massive advantage of tactical nuclear weapons: 820 for the US and NATO combined to well over 5,000 for the Russians. Our navy calls Russian’s newest subsmarines “black holes” because we cannot track them. They now have the ability to approach our coastlines undetected; they could launch an overwhelming first strike of nuclear cruise missles, wiping out our entire arsenal before we even realize we’re at war. The Russians have practiced launching all 16 of their nuclear missiles in 224 seconds; imagine what a couple hundred subs could unleash in a matter of 4 minutes! And if Russian does launch a first strike, its impressive anti-ballistic missle system would likely intercept the limited number of rockets that we do manage in response. Their S-500 missle, when fully implemented and combined with their new A-100 AWACS aircraft, can attack and shoot down up to 10 supersonic targets at heights of 40 kilometers. Recently, Russian strategic nuclear bombers have started buzzing Europe and the coast of Alaska. They have patrolled the western Atlantic, the eastern Pacific, the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. Unlike America, Russia is actively preparing for a nuclear war. But Obama and the American government seem lost in a reckless power trip, savoring their international game of Russian roulette. Wars are often ignited by a miscalculation on the part of some foolish politician. With massive nuclear weaponry on both sides, there is no margin for error. A confrontation of ICBMs will probably not leave any clear winner, just a smoldering planet with nuclear polluition everywhere. What Does Revelation Predict? The Book of Revelation describes — in first century language — what could be nuclear war unleashed upon mankind. Revelation 6 declares there will be a great earthquake; the sun will be blackened, the moon will become like blood, stars will fall to the earth and the planet will be shaken by a great wind. The sky will split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and mountains and islands will be moved out of their places. These predictions sound ominously descriptive of atomic warfare. Revelation 8:7 says: a third of the earth will be burned up with the trees and grass burned. 8:11 says: a third of the waters will turn bitter and cause many to die. 8:12 says a third of the sun, moon, and stars will be struck turning them dark. There will be a massive slaughter of human beings in most populated areas, hit by the initial blast waves, fireballs, thermal pulses, mass fires followed by intensive radiation sickness. There will be pollution of the ecosphere with oxides of nitrogen, a significant decrease in photosynthesis, cancer and mutations rising around the world, global epidemics unleashed upon a weakened human race and poisoning from increased ultraviolet light. The globe will be darkened for years by toxic radioactive dust in a “nuclear winter” killing much of the plant and animal life on the planet. RELATED : Warning – Zero Days to Impact! North Carolina ! (Video) Revelation 9:18 summarizes that the fire and the smoke and the brimstone will kill fully a third of mankind. Based upon today’s population, that means over 2 billion will die! Bible prophecy mentions many nations, including Libya, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Ethiopia, and others clearly identified, but it does not identify the United States of America. It could be that the US is not mentioned because it will be wiped out in a nuclear war. If such a war does happen between the US and Russia, it is highly likely Russia will survive. Why? Because the prophet Ezekiel (in chapters 38 & 39), declared that Russia will eventually invade Israel. In today’s current alignment of world power, that would be impossible because America would oppose that attack. But if America is destroyed, Russia will be free to pursue its own agenda and will eventually invade the Middle East — where God will supernaturally send fire from heaven to destroy their armies. Be Alert to the Danger As you are careful to watch the political gamesmanship going on, don’t let yourself be lulled into sleep because so little information is being broadcast by the State supporting corporate media. Instead, keep an eye fixed on alternative media sources to find out what’s really going on. It might also be a wise idea to study a Bible, especially the Book of Revelation, to see exactly what God has already predicted will happen. Man will inflict upon himself most of the destruction that comes upon the earth. But God clearly warns that as mankind turns away from Him and begin to slaughter both Christians and the Jews — He will send His wrath upon the earth. No matter where you live in these last days, the best long-term solution for your own safety and security — especially when World War 3 and a nuclear holocaust strikes our planet — will be found in knowing the God who controls the universe and the future. Ultimately, there is no real security, in this era, apart from trusting in Jesus Christ. No one can escape the reality that He’s promised to come back once again to earth. I encourage you to watch our video about How to Become a Christian while you still have time. The Normalcy Bias The Normalcy Bias is a psychological state people enter into when faced with a slow but impending crisis that could shatter their lives. We tell ourselves that since nothing like this has ever happened, that it never will happen. This state of mind causes people to ignore the reality of approaching disasters, underestimating and minimizing the risks until it is too late. Before the Nazis took power, there were half a million Jews in Germany. When anti-Semitic persecution began, only 100,000 Jews fled. For the rest, the Normalcy Bias kicked in and they assumed the situation couldn’t get any worse. But they were wrong. This same psychological response also happened in the days before the flood. Even though Noah continually preached that the world would be destroyed if it didn’t repent, no one grasped the seriousness of their situation. Jesus said “…before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage… they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away.” –Matthew 24: 37-39 The same thing also happened in Sodom. Jesus said they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, and building, “…but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone… and destroyed them all.” Luke 17:28-29 Jesus then predicted: “It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed.” Luke 17:30 The Normalcy Bias will impact mankind at the end of the age before the Lord returns. This means that if you want to save yourself from destruction, you must eliminate your spiritual blindness. If you refuse to open your eyes, you will be fooled. You won’t comprehend what’s coming until its too late. “Oh, how deaf and blind you are toward me! Why won’t you listen? Why do you refuse to see?” –Isaiah 42:18 Mankind is deaf and blind towards God. We refuse to hear and to see what He’s trying to tell us. If you want to be saved from the judgment that awaits you, you need to listen to Him. What you need most is a change of your opinion about the nature of sin. (SOURCE ) Are you worried about your future? Are you worried by the many disasters that you face in your everyday life?

MY CONVERSATION WITH GENERAL MICHAEL T. FLYNN

By Kelleigh Nelson August 29, 2016 NewsWithViews.com

“There is something about the American soldier—despite our best efforts to shit on them, they rise to the occasion and perform miraculously.” —Gen. Michael T. Flynn, The Field of Fight

“Do you want to be ruled by men who eagerly drink the blood of their dying enemies?” —Gen. Michael T. Flynn, The Field of Fight The Field of Fight In General Michael T. Flynn’s new book, The Field of Fight, How we can Win the War Against Radical Islam and Its Allies, he states that we are no longer shocked or horrified by the jihadi terrorist’s slaughter of innocents. There have been too many videos, photos, and descriptions of suicide bombings, beheadings, mass executions, public hangings, burnings, stoning’s and crucifixions. As the General states, we have heard them say, “we love death more than you love life,” over and over again, and we have heard them chant, “Death to America.” It is now no longer as shocking as it once was. Have we lost the shock factor? If so, we are in more danger than I suspected. Military men like General Flynn have fought to stop the jihads worldwide so that it doesn’t end up on America’s doorstep. We are now at that precipice, and this General, and others like him, know what it will take to win. Flynn states in his book, “We are in a World War with Islamic terrorists, but very few Americans recognize it, and fewer still have any idea how to win it.” Gen. Flynn (Ret.) spent more than 33 years as an intelligence officer. He served as the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and was the Senior Military Intelligence Officer in the Department of Defense. He has since founded the Flynn Intel Group, a commercial, government, and international intelligence security and cyber firm specializing in defense, diplomacy, and development initiatives. I urge everyone to purchase Gen. Flynn’s new book. It is concise, well-referenced, easy to read, written in terms easily understood by laymen, and it is loaded with information we need to understand what our military and our country is facing. It truly is an amazing overview of where we are in this global war on terror. In Chapter 4 of the general’s book, he tells how we can and must win. It is a necessity for any freedom loving American to read this book in order to understand the jihadists, and why we absolutely must win. There are many direct quotes from, “The Field of Fight” in this article. I was so pleased to have had the privilege of speaking with Gen. Flynn, and want to thank my friend, Allen B. Clark, who served as a U.S. Army Military intelligence officer in Vietnam, for the introduction. Rebuilding Our Military (Hat tip to a great group of Trump supporters in northern Indiana for additional questions.)
